Tribulation of Myriad Races

While Su Yu was working against the death qi in his body, a cloaked death spirit appeared near the dark devil dragon’s corpse. Xing Yue had arrived.

The death sovereign looked rather pleased. Not bad at all. This dark devil dragon had died ahead of schedule. This was a good thing. With this, it had obtained yet another powerful general under its command.

The massive corpse was completely covered in death qi. It had yet to fully complete its transformation. After staring at the corpse for a bit, Xing Yue reached out with one hand. The gigantic corpse instantly reduced in size before flying into Xing Yue’s palm. It curled above the palm like a tiny worm.

“Let’s return to the Death Realm.”

Then, Xing Yue shot a glance at the death spirit who was still waiting outside Su Yu’s building. It said, “Return.”

“Lord Sovereign!” The death spirit protested, “Why don’t we continue and transform him completely as well?”

Xing Yue replied indifferently, “His time has yet to arrive.”

Xing Yue could sense that the human inside the building was constantly reversing the death qi in his body. The speed was actually quite fast. Furthermore, that human seemed to have grown considerably in strength as well.

Xing Yue considered a possibility. Su Yu would grow rapidly while alive. But after his death, it was very unlikely that he would be able to preserve his memories due to his low cultivation. At that point, further growth would be extremely slow. Thus, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to let him grow into a Sunmoon while he was still alive.

After dying, he would lose his memories, his numerous tricks, and his numerous cultivation methods. He would only be able to cultivate according to his instincts. It might take him hundreds or even thousands of years to become a Sunmoon death spirit despite his astonishing talent.

The Pseudo Invincible death spirit seemed indignant, but it said nothing else.

Beside Xing Yue, one of the two Pseudo Invincible death spirits spoke, “Lord Sovereign, he has been killing a lot of death spirits…”

“It doesn’t matter. Those are all weak death spirits. Since the three of you have appeared after he killed a Sunmoon, he won’t dare to kill more Sunmoon death spirits.”

Xing Yue did not care about the weaker death spirits. And it was unlikely that Su Yu would dare to kill more Sunmoon death spirits in the future after this incident. At that moment, the three death spirits noticed the storage ring and medallion on the ground.

“Lord Sovereign, why don’t we destroy the storage ring. That way, the kid won’t be able to get anything. As for the medallion…who do you think will be the best mayor for us?”

They didn’t need to leave these things here for Su Yu. Would it really benefit them for him to become the mayor? Nobody knew.

Xing Yue glanced at the two items and gave a simple reply, “They can handle this among themselves.”

After saying that, Xing Yue vanished into thin air. The three death spirits looked at each other before vanishing as well. Their lord did not wish to kill Su Yu. What a pity. In that case, they really couldn’t kill that annoying brat for now.

Clearly, their lord wished to let the human grow as strong as possible before dying. That would allow him to transform into a much stronger death spirit. Not willing to disobey their lord, the three could only leave.

Inside his building, Su Yu was relieved when he noticed the receding death qi. Were they gone? But he didn’t dare to risk anything. He continued his cultivation.

Before doing anything, he had to further weaken the death qi in his body. At the very least, he had to reduce the growth by about thirty percent. With a ratio of seven to three between death qi and source qi, things would be a lot safer. At that ratio, there wouldn’t be a risk of the death qi entering his heart out of nowhere.

Due to the clash between the death qi and heavenly source qi, his body was growing rapidly as well. Before long, he completed yet another body forging.

With the new breakthrough, both his body and source qi grew much stronger. The sudden growth instantly reduced the ratio of death qi in his body, but before long, the death qi readjusted and became stronger as well.

Xing Yue, who had just returned to the portal, looked up.

A bizarre look appeared in its eyes. Just how many body forgings had that human completed? Yes. Not even Xing Yue had the answer to that question. It could only sense that Su Yu had grown even stronger, to the point where it was forced to use even more death qi on him.

So was this how an expert who had opened the grand cycle acupoints and cultivated the 72-Forged Iron Devourer looked like?

Even in the ancient past, such a genius was extremely rare. More importantly, such a cultivator was too expensive to raise.

During the ancient past, the number of young geniuses might have been higher, the cultivation methods in circulation might have been stronger, and the amount of resources available might have been higher…but such a cultivator was still extremely expensive to raise.

Acupoint opening, body forging, source qi transformation…every one of these stages would be extremely expensive. Which power could afford to raise such a genius?

The stone statue was also focusing on Su Yu. The dark devil dragon had perished. The stone statue had mixed feelings about that. For the most part, these mayors would be picked by the stone statues. And the dark devil dragon could also be considered a picked mayor. Due to this unexpected incident, the dark devil dragon had died much earlier than expected.

Soon, the stone statue shut his eyes again, deciding to stop worrying about it. There were things that not even he could control.

He could have sent a voice transmission to warn the dark devil dragon against leaving. But he had decided to do nothing. He would only act in accordance with the laws. Each stone statue was different. Compared to Heavendoom, he was much stricter and colder. Placed in the same position, Heavendoom might have chosen to warn his mayor.

At the same time.

The world outside was also in shock.

Before long, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion started reporting the latest update. They confirmed the mayor’s death. Three Pseudo Invincible death spirits had appeared in the city yet again. That triggered a death qi eruption in the mayor’s body, killing him. And all that was related to Su Yu.

By detonating Ye Batian’s character, Su Yu killed a Sunmoon death spirit and spawned more powerful death spirits. That ultimately caused the mayor to die. The involvement of Heavenly Hunt Pavilion’s Profound Nine was mentioned slightly, but not much focus was placed on him.

Su Yu!

Once again, that name resounded throughout the Myriad Realms. He had caused the death of a ninth-stage Sunmoon.

Not even three days had passed since the departure of Mo Duona and the other geniuses. Some of them had yet to even leave the Sea of Stars. When they received the latest news, their emotions turned complicated. That troublemaker was truly good at troublemaking.

However, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion also stated that Su Yu was also covered in incomparably dense death qi. It was unknown if he could live for much longer. What a pity. Perhaps the Allheaven Battlefield would become a lot more dull without him.

Many of these geniuses didn’t even have the chance to exchange pointers with him yet. It would be quite a pity if he were to die just like that. Nevertheless, he had accomplished enough to embed his name in the annals of history.

A Cloudbreach human had caused the deaths of numerous Sunmoons in two ancient cities, including a ninth-stage Sunmoon. He had also caused multiple Invincibles to lose one of their tri-life bodies. He was the sole Cloudbreach to have ever accomplished such a feat.

Everyone was having mixed feelings about Su Yu.

Nevertheless, that did not stop them from coveting the position of the mayor. If Su Yu was really dead, the city gates might reopen after three days. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to try fighting for the mayorship at that time.

People could say that an ancient city mayor was a puppet all they wanted, but that was still an existence comparable to an Invincible inside the city.

If one was already an ancient city resident, wouldn’t it be better for one to become a mayor instead? And there was no lack of ancient city residents among the myriad races. If even the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had their members converted into residents, the myriad races had naturally done the same as well.

However, a majority of these residents weren’t too strong.

A large number of unaffiliated Sunmoons and Sunmoons with numerous enemies started heading toward Grandstar City. They wanted to become the new mayor, even if they had to become a resident to do so.

This was an acceptable path for those who had reached the end of the road. As for the fact that they would become death spirits upon death, it did not matter. Why worry about something that would only happen after they were dead?
