Tribulation of Myriad Races

Second floor, cultivation room.

Su Yu sealed the second floor to prevent anyone from disturbing him.

Nevertheless, the environment of the large cultivation room did not look like a sealed room at all. He could still see the beautiful view outside the room. However, those outside weren’t able to see him. He was essentially looking at the projection of the outside world. It was clear that Hu Xiansheng had put a lot of effort into constructing this building.

Two bottles of blood essence stood before him. Su Yu sank into contemplation. Was his physical body strong enough for this? Probably, right?

He had consumed a lot of Cloudbreach blood essence before. He had even killed Zhou Pingsheng by relying on Cloudbreach blood essence. And he only needed to withstand the might of the blood essence for a split second to give his book the time to absorb the blood essence. It should be fine.

Su Yu judged that the two corpses were probably second or third-stage Cloudbreaches. It should probably be fine.

“What am I afraid of? I’m not so weak that a single drop of blood essence can kill me. In any case, forging my body with blood essence is a process I have to go through sooner or later.”

Su Yu’s physical body was definitely comparable to a Skysoar’s body. He could take his time and forge his body before consuming his newly obtained blood essence. But he was starting to get impatient. He needed to know the locations of the two final acupoints.

He was just about to give it a try when he stood up and walked out of the room. At the very last minute, he had decided that he was quite afraid of death. He was no longer someone with nothing to lose. When he first started consuming blood essence, he was fearless since he had nothing to lose. But it was no longer worth taking such a big risk himself.

He decided to let the suanni try it instead. The suanni wasn’t weak. In terms of physical body, he was probably stronger than Su Yu. If even the suanni ended up bursting apart, Su Yu would give up for now.

And if the suanni could survive it, Su Yu was sure he would be able to survive as well. He only needed to last for a split second and his book would absorb the power of the blood essence.

Downstairs.

The suanni was yawning lazily when Su Yu opened the door and smiled, “Suanni, get over here. I have something good for you.”

“…”

The suanni started trembling with fear.

Holy shit!

What was going on? He was very scared.

That expression of Su Yu was too scary. The suanni would rather Su Yu shout at him. This smiling face was too scary.

Su Yu was the scariest when he smiled.

Nearby, the mountaindrill bull noiselessly dove into the ground, leaving only a pair of horns on the surface. Inwardly, he kept chanting that nobody could see him. He was an invisible bull!

Seeing that the suanni was hesitating, Su Yu raised his voice, “Get over here!”

The suanni instantly ran over. But he was still trembling with fear. Just what was Su Yu planning to do?

When he entered the room, Su Yu shut the door and said, “Don’t be afraid. I really have something good for you. As you saw earlier, I received some good stuff from Great Qin earlier. I know that the beast races love consuming blood essence to cultivate. And look, I have a drop of first divine blood essence here. Try consuming it and see if it can heal you up.”

The suanni’s eyes widened.

Was this for real?

Holy shit!

First divine blood essence?

The first divine race was an existence that the suanni wouldn’t even dare to attack openly. He would only dare to attack in the dark when nobody was looking. Unlike the human race, the first divine race was smaller in number.

Thus, anyone caught killing even one of them would be in a lot of trouble.

“Lord…”

The suanni asked, “Is this really first divine blood essence?”

“What a stupid question.”

When Su Yu took out the blood essence, the suanni started grimacing. Damn it! He knew nothing good would come out of this. It was a drop of Cloudbreach blood essence! But after sensing the drop of blood essence, he calmed down somewhat. It was only a third-stage Cloudbreach blood essence.

It was still within his limits. No matter what, he was a ninth-stage Skysoar. He wouldn’t be so weak that he couldn’t withstand the power of only a drop of blood essence.

The suanni walked up to Su Yu and said, “Lord, I am willing to give it a try.”

Awesome! This was indeed a good thing.

Su Yu wasted no time and tossed the drop of blood essence into the suanni’s mouth. Next, a burst of heavy aura erupted from the suanni’s body. The suanni roared as his entire body shone with a bright golden light. His blood coursed through his vessels like raging rivers.

His body also started swelling. Previously, he was still looking quite frail after being starved for so many years. But now, he was starting to regain some of his lost muscles. This drop of blood essence was akin to a precious tonic for his starved body. It was one-tenth of the essence extracted from a Cloudbreach first divine.

“Roar!”

While the suanni was roaring ferociously, a voice came from the floor above, “Can you shut up? I need to work! Stop disturbing me!”

The suanni instantly shut his mouth. Forget it. He couldn’t afford to offend her.

He really wanted to roar, but that woman was too scary. She had been studying the little furball as of late. There were a few times when even the suanni was nearly turned into her test subject.

After a short while, the suanni exhaled and released his aura, causing even the ground to crack.

After spitting out a mouthful of foul blood, the suanni said in excitement, “Lord, it’s pretty good. I feel like I can reach the Cloudbreach Realm after using a few dozen drops of the same blood essence.”

Su Yu looked at the suanni. Not bad. The suanni was fine. As for giving the suanni a few dozen drops of the same blood essence, dream on. Not even the suanni himself was worth that much.

Su Yu couldn’t be bothered to waste more time with the suanni. He said, “Good. Go out and keep watch. Also, I recorded the sight of you consuming the drop of first divine blood essence. You better watch yourself in the future. If I release this video, even if you manage to return to the Allheaven Battlefield, you won’t be able to escape the first divines.”

The suanni had to try really hard to refrain from swearing.

Holy shit!

Why?

The look of excitement on the suanni’s face vanished. Instead, he drooped his head in despair. If that recording was released, he would still die even if he could escape from Su Yu’s grasp.

Even after returning to his own race, they might turn him in to appease the first divine race. The suanni felt like crying. Was escape not possible anymore? Why had he agreed to consume that drop of blood essence?

Su Yu said, “Don’t think of escaping all the time. Just where can you go? Remember, if I wake up to find that you have disappeared, I’ll release the recording.”

“Lord, I’ve never thought of escaping!”

The suanni showed a wronged expression as he said that.

Su Yu ignored the suanni and went upstairs again. Since the suanni was fine, he should be able to survive consuming the blood essence as well.

***

Downstairs, the suanni had a gloomy expression.

What an asshole.

Right after fooling him to eat something, Su Yu had blackmailed him. Sure enough, all cultural researchers were evil.

After leaving the room, the mountaindrill bull emerged from the ground and asked, “What’s up?”

“It’s nothing. The lord gave me some treasures. He said that you’re too weak to be helped. You’re probably going to be served as premium beef soon. I heard that Principal Niu loves beef the most.”

The mountaindrill bull asked anxiously, “Are you speaking the truth?”

“Yes!”

The mountaindrill bull started worrying. Was his good life going to end so soon?

***

Su Yu was too busy to be concerned with the two.

With a drop of blood essence in hand, he hesitated slightly before swallowing it.

“Hah!”

His body swelled, his heart beat wildly, and his acupoints opened wide.

Splurt!

A mouthful of blood sprayed out of his mouth. His skin started tearing apart. But next, a golden flash erupted deep inside his sea of willpower. Instantly, the power of the blood essence vanished completely.

A golden page appeared in his book.

A new page was activated!

First divine (Third-stage Cloudbreach)

Racial ability: Divine Transformation (activation with blood essence)

Foundation source art: First Divine Art (activation with blood essence)

Foundation body forging art: First Divine Body Forging Art (activation with blood essence)

Foundation source qi transformation art: First Divine Nine Transformation Art (activation with blood essence)

Su Yu’s eyes lit up.

It was here!

He wasted no time and swallowed a second drop of blood essence. It was time to activate the First Divine Art. Instantly, 144 acupoints opened.

“Hu!”

As Su Yu gasped heavily, his body swelled and the aura of a Cloudbreach started emanating from his body.

Third-stage Cloudbreach of the first divine race. Such an individual was extremely strong.

On Su Yu’s spine, an acupoint opened for the very first time. He was overjoyed.

“Done!”

There was really one there!

Boom!

As Su Yu stood up, the strength belonging to a third-stage Cloudbreach erupted from his body. The floor creaked as he stepped on it. His body was filled with power, giving him an urge to fight with someone. As of this moment, he felt like he could easily kill that suanni if he wanted.

Should he try his strength on the suanni?

“Very good. The original devil race will definitely give me a new acupoint as well.”

Su Yu decided to give up on the thought of beating the suanni up. Instead, he utilized the source qi in his body to open the acupoint on his spine. Since he wasn’t going to use this power to fight, he might as well use it to open the acupoint. A storm of source qi erupted around him.

Half an hour later, the acupoint finally opened. Su Yu’s eyes were brightly lit. He wasted no time and consumed another drop of blood essence. This time, it was the original devil blood essence. With his previous experience, the process felt much easier this time.

Original devil race (Third-stage Cloudbreach)

Racial ability: Devil’s Descend (activation with blood essence)

Foundation source art: Original Devil Art (activation with blood essence)

Foundation body forging art: Original Devil Body Forging Art (activation with blood essence)

Foundation source qi transformation art: Original Devil Nine Transformation Art (activation with blood essence)

Without any hesitation, Su Yu took another drop of blood essence. He was going to activate the Original Devil Art.

Rumble!

The rumble came from his forehead. A short while later, an acupoint appeared on his forehead. He was overjoyed. He had finally discovered all 360 acupoints! Next, he had to properly open the acupoint.

He was going to complete his 360 acupoints today! Success was within grasp!
