Tribulation of Myriad Races

Great Xia City.

Wan Tiansheng remained perfectly calm after receiving the latest update. Yes. Thanks to Su Yu, his ability to stay calm had improved by leaps and bounds. He only knew that in his vision, he saw Su Yu killing Mountainseas as a Cloudbreach.

And Su Yu was still a Cloudbreach. Thus, the future he saw might still happen. He would only worry if Su Yu was no longer a Cloudbreach. That would signify that the future had changed completely from what he saw.

He was merely curious about what Su Yu could do as a mayor. Could he travel around with the ancient city in tow? Without the ancient city, he would still be in danger when facing Sunmoons and Invincibles.

“Red toad race, a first-stage Sunmoon of a minor race…”

Did he kill the Sunmoon with the help of his ability blood essence? Even so, that only served as proof that his physical strength had reached a terrifying level. Just how strong had his body grown?

Even a vast majority of Mountainseas wouldn’t be strong enough to withstand the blood essence of a Sunmoon. The body of that brat might have grown to the level of a late-stage Mountainsea.

How terrifying.

What a pity that the kid’s name was no longer on the Heavenly Hunt Index. Otherwise…wait, no, he was already at the very top of the index before this. There was no longer any room for growth.

“Calm. Stay calm.”

Yes. Wan Tiansheng told himself that he only needed to get used to this. After thinking for a bit, he sent someone a voice transmission, “Hong Tan, your grandstudent, Su Yu, killed a Sunmoon moments ago. He’s currently fighting for the mayorship of an ancient city. By the way, do you know about that dark devil dragon in Grandstar City? Yeap. Your grandstudent caused his death. Aren’t you proud of your grandstudent, Hong Tan?”

“…”

Inside the newly reopened Multiple Character Faculty.

Hong Tan was in the middle of writing something when his pen suddenly crumbled apart.

“Teacher?” Nearby, Bai Feng was working on something when he noticed his teacher’s broken pen. He laughed, “Teacher, are you shocked? Hahaha, I’m pretty surprised as well. I never expect to return to the ninth-stage Skysoar Realm so quickly. Before long, I can enter the Cloudbreach Realm.”

He was in a great mood.

Finally! Life had been pretty miserable for poor, pitiful him after losing some of his cultivation from his injuries last year. After so many months of hard work, he had finally returned to the peak Skysoar Realm. The Cloudbreach Realm was within his grasp.

Before long, he would become a genius Cloudbreach as well.

Hahaha!

He felt great.

Hong Tan looked at Bai Feng with an odd expression. It wouldn’t take long for news from the Allheaven Battlefield to reach the Human Realm. However, most people would not be informed of those updates as they lacked the necessary connection.

And now, Hong Tan had been informed of the latest update.

After a short pause, he said, “Yes. Not bad. You’re already a ninth-stage Skysoar. You can definitely reach the Cloudbreach Realm within three months.”

Bai Feng nodded proudly.

Yes. Not bad at all.

Hong Tan asked, “Do you know how strong a Sunmoon is?”

“I don’t know. I only know that each Sunmoon is strong enough to kill me with one slap.”

Bai Feng shrugged and said, “Don’t worry, Teacher. I will not get too full of myself. You’re a Sunmoon. You can kill me with one slap. I know that.”

Hong Tan hesitated slightly, but he ultimately continued, “Do you know where your student is at right now?”

“Su Yu? Isn’t he in the Allheaven Battlefield disguised as Cui Lang? Has he returned?”

Bai Feng was still unaware of the latest happenings in the Allheaven Battlefield. Hong Tan was his only source of information. Prior to this, Hong Tan had not informed him of the things Su Yu had done.

Looking at Bai Feng’s excited expression, Hong Tan said, “More than a month ago, Su Yu entered the Allheaven Battlefield. It was the 21st of June, I think. You know that, right?”

“Oh…”

It was already the 15th of August. Almost two months had passed.

“Has he been causing trouble again?”

“Yes.” Hong Tan said, ‘It’s no big deal. In Heavendoom City, he caused the deaths of over twenty Sunmoons. Six of them were late-stage Sunmoons. A few days ago, he reached the Sea of Stars. There, he caused the deaths of nine Sunmoons. One of them was a late-stage Sunmoon. And earlier today, he caused the death of Grandstar City’s mayor, a ninth-stage Sunmoon. Right, not long ago, he killed a first-stage Sunmoon. Yeap. No big deal at all.

“Hmm, he has only caused the deaths of over thirty Sunmoons and over a dozen index geniuses. Ah, twelve Invincibles…no, two of them were humans. Ten myriad race Invincibles ultimately surrounded the city to kill him, but they all failed. That’s all…”

He raised his head, looking at Bai Feng’s wide open mouth, and smiled, “My good student, you’re not bad at all. Wow. You’re going to be a Cloudbreach soon. Congratulations. Oh, right. I almost left this out. He might also become the first ever Cloudbreach mayor in existence, becoming a regional overlord.”

“…”

Bai Feng’s mouth was still agape.

What?

Just what was going on?

What was his teacher talking about?

He couldn’t understand.

Did his teacher get things wrong? Did his teacher misspoke Skysoars as Sunmoons? He swallowed and laughed awkwardly, “Teacher, did you mean that Su Yu killed over thirty Skysoars?”

“Sunmoon.”

“Skysoars, right? Teacher?”

Bai Feng stubbornly repeated.

Yes. His teacher must have spoken wrongly!

Right?

Hong Tan merely looked at his student with pity. Finally, Bai Feng lost it, “Teacher, are you happy? You’re a first-stage Sunmoon as well. Only a first-stage Sunmoon!”

Only a first-stage Sunmoon.

What was the point of this provocation?

His teacher was also a first-stage Sunmoon, similar to the Sunmoon Su Yu killed.

Hong Tan appeared indifferent. Yes. He was aware of that. But he was already used to this. Nothing could shake his calm anymore.

After a slight hesitation, he added, “But he might die soon. He…has converted into an ancient city resident…”

First, Bai Feng blanked out. Then, the smile on his face vanished. Apart from shock and disbelief, he had also been feeling slightly proud. That was his student. Wasn’t he incredible for producing such a student?

But now, all those feelings were gone.

After a long while, he spoke with great difficulty, “He…became a resident?”

He had been to the Allheaven Battlefield before. He knew about the ancient cities as well. For the most part, these ancient city residents would not remain alive for long.

Hong Tan answered with a bizarre calm, “Yes. He would have died in the hands of Invincibles otherwise. Ten Invincibles surrounded the city to kill him. From the human race, only Great Xia King and Great Ming King went over. They were not enough to stop the other Invincibles. Su Yu was forced to take this option. A death sovereign has personally converted him. He will only be free if that death sovereign dies.”

Bai Feng forced himself to smile as he said, “It’s fine. It will be fine. Let me tell you about that kid. He has endless trump cards. He is a person of great fortune. He is a child of destiny. Teacher, he will be fine. Do you think he will die just like this? No…you’re wrong…wrong…”

Hong Tan resumed his writing. After a while, his hoarse voice rang out, “You should go back home and cultivate yourself. The legacy of our line will end with his death. So be it. I can’t give you anything. I can’t provide you with any assistance. You should leave. Let the multiple character faction…become a thing of the past.”

“Teacher…I…I can’t accept this…” Bai Feng’s eyes turned slightly bloodshot, “Why did that idiot go to the Allheaven Battlefield? Was he stupid? At the very least, he wouldn’t have been attacked by Invincibles if he had remained in the Human Realm…”

“Invincibles?” Hong Tan said, “With his temper, it is only a matter of time. It doesn’t matter where he stays. From the very beginning, you did the wrong thing. All the joy and pride you feel back then will now turn into regret…’

Everything had started from that trip to Nanyuan. If Su Yu hadn’t joined the multiple character faction, he wouldn’t have ended up as the common enemy of the myriad races.

Bai Feng clenched his teeth, “I…wish to meet him one last time.”

“You won’t be able to reach him. Nobody will be willing to send you over anyway.” Hong Tan’s head was lowered as he said, “Forget this. Wait. Wait for your martial uncle’s return. At that time, it’s time for our line to release our final radiance.’

“Teacher…he’s still too young.” Bai Feng spoke numbly, “He’s only nineteen. He hasn’t been alive for long enough. This… shouldn’t have happened to him…”

Hong Tan’s head remained lowered. A new pen appeared in his hand. But soon, it crumbled apart. A new pen appeared, but it too, crumbled apart.

Finally, he sent Bai Feng an irritated slap. Yes! He knew that as well! But there was nothing he could do! As a mere Sunmoon, he was completely helpless.

This would be their final chance to resolve everything. Perhaps…this was the only way for them to buy a tiny bit of hope that the human Invincibles would finally take action for Su Yu.

“We…can only wait for that final chance…”

Hong Tan felt terrible. He was too helpless.
