Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu was too occupied to spare a thought to all the collateral damage they were causing. His yang acupoint was still madly consuming death qi.

He fought valiantly, creating a storm of death qi around him, forcing the others to hurriedly move out of his way.

Numerous experts were stunned to witness the battle between the young geniuses. Were these still young geniuses?

Even if they were fighting with blood essence, top experts attached to their bodies, or some other trump cards, they were still displaying an incredible level of combat acuity. Their bodies also needed to be sufficiently strong to withstand such power.

With a punch by Su Yu, Dao Cheng’s body cracked. Behind Su Yu, Xuan Wuji struck with his character, causing Su Yu’s sea of willpower to tremble.

As a response, the little furball shot out and swallowed the character, before pulling back to Su Yu’s sea of willpower. Inside the sea of willpower, the little furball rolled around madly. The character was too powerful for him to consume. Xuan Wuji might only be an eighth-stage Mountainsea, but he was using a Sunmoon character. Thus, it was beyond the little furball’s ability to consume.

Turning around, Su Yu threw a palm attack and caused Xuan Wuji’s body to crack.

All by himself, Su Yu faced multiple young geniuses. A large amount of death qi spread around him. Some of the nearby experts were caught in the death qi before they could evade, and some nearly died on the spot.

That was death qi at the level of an eighth-stage Sunmoon. It wasn’t something a regular person could withstand.

“Devil’s Descend!”

With a roar, Su Yu pretended to consume a drop of devil blood essence. Instantly, a devlish qi shrouded his body as he grew even stronger than before.

Then, he threw a punch.

Ming Yue of the Heaven Index was struck. The punch punctured her body, allowing death qi to spread all over her body. The death qi clashed violently with her nether qi, dealing further damage to her body.

These young geniuses were unimaginably strong.

***

Allheaven Battlefield.

Grandstar City.

Xing Yue’s death qi was roiling violently as she roared furiously. Bring it on! How much of her death qi could the damn kid absorb? Let’s see if the damn kid could actually drain her dry of death qi!

Just what was that lunatic doing? How much death qi was that lunatic going to absorb? This speed of absorption was already comparable to a ninth-stage Sunmoon. Damn it! Did she not convert a Cloudbreach genius? When did she convert a ninth-stage Sunmoon?

***

Far away from Nanyuan.

The indistinct silhouette finally stood up.

He had a solemn expression on his face.

“I have truly underestimated all of you…”

He sighed. How terrifying. He felt incredibly lucky. He had thought that he knew everything about them. But it was evident that without the six Invincibles, he would never have survived revealing himself to these people.

Just Wan Tiansheng alone was already enough to contend against him. And there were the likes of First Profound waiting on the sidelines. The appearance of the six Invincibles had indeed saved his life.

Suddenly, the look in his eyes changed.

***

Nanyuan.

Wan Tiansheng was grumbling inwardly. The traitor was truly patient. But this was the traitor’s final chance to act. If the traitor continued refusing to act, so be it.

Twenty-four characters appeared around him.

Each of them was incomparably powerful.

Instantly, all twenty-four of them came together.

Nobody could react. The Heart Cultivating Pavilion in Wan Tiansheng’s hand instantly turned into the form of a sword. With the inclusion of the twenty-four characters, it had grown even stronger than before. Wan Tiansheng was still calm. A Cloudbreach against many Mountainseas. And a hidden hand from the back. That was the vision he had seen.

Thus, he was sure the traitor would ultimately be pushed to act.

This knowledge alone made the sacrifice of his lifespan worth it.

The traitor could not afford to wait longer. The traitor would act.

“Across the realms, I am only me.”

Intense shockwaves spread in all directions.

The expressions of Devil King Lade and the nether king changed as they hurriedly summoned their Rivers of Time to flee. Alas, things were not so simple. A River of Time had also appeared around Wan Tiansheng. And his river was far stronger than theirs.

The massive deluge washed over all three of them. The two Invincibles had just stepped into their Rivers of Time. But before they could flee, time and space shattered as all three of them vanished, alongside the reality around them. Only a void of emptiness remained.

“Die!”

Finally, Wan Tiansheng brought his sword down.

The look on Devil King Lade’s face changed as he hurriedly tore space apart before vanishing into the void. The nether king wanted to do the same as well, but he was only here as a past body. He lacked the ability to flee from Wan Tiansheng. Thus, he was left calling for help in desperation, “Nether Emperor, I beseech you to save me!”

Immediately, reality started warping as a Pseudo Emperor attempted to walk out from the River of Time. Alas, this was the Human Realm, not the Allheaven Battlefield.

“I told you to leave earlier, but you refused.”

Wan Tiansheng appeared completely indifferent. Since the nether king refused to leave before, he should forget about leaving anymore.

“You forced me to do this!”

With a desperate roar, a drop of water appeared. The water was slightly turbid. This was water from the Nether River, an essence of the river, a carrier treasure, and also the source of the fabled Nether River.

“Die!”

With a loud rumble, space was blasted apart as a large chunk of space was rendered into nothingness. Even the realm barrier itself was punctured. The boundless void became visible from inside the Human Realm.

In fact, through the tear in reality, one could even see Great Ming King and some other Invincibles.

The Invincibles in the boundless void saw what happened as well.

They saw the explosion of the Nether River.

They also saw an incomparably powerful sword. They saw Wan Tiansheng’s body breaking down even as he brought his sword down.

Boom!

This sound could be heard across the entire Myriad Realms.

A crimson cloud bloomed in the void, and the Nether River was ruptured.

***

Nether Realm.

A river that seemed to have existed since time immemorial was suddenly severed. A boundless deluge of water surged out and flooded the entire Nether Realm.

On the tallest peak of the Nether Realm, an ancient expert sighed and reached out.

“The Nether River King…has fallen.”

He sighed with regret. He had advised the Nether River King against this expedition. Alas, the Nether River King insisted. Because of his choice, he had fallen in the Human Realm. The ancient expert summoned his River of Time and looked in the direction of Human Realm.

He saw a sword.

A sword that had taken the life of an Invincible.

He saw the death of the Nether River King.

The death caused some chaos in the Nether Realm, but its scope was still quite limited. However, anyone with a sufficient level of authority could see that an Invincible had perished.

An Invincible who had affirmed his dao in the Nether Realm. The death of the Nether River King had caused the destruction of the Nether River in the Nether Realm.

***

Allheaven Battlefield.

Countless experts were shocked. A massive crimson sun could be seen dropping from the sky. It had fallen in the Human Realm’s direction, indicating that an Invincible had died in the Human Realm.

Not long after, a silhouette appeared above the Nether Realm before scattering into nothingness, signifying the end of an Invincible.

Silence descended.

In only a few months, two Invincibles had perished.

Silkwyrm King and Nether River King.

And both deaths were related to the human race.

After killing the Silkwyrm King not long ago, the humans had killed yet another Invincible. This time, it was someone from the nether race, one of the ancient races.

***

Nanyuan.

A crimson cloud seemed to have covered the entirety of the sky above the city.

Even Su Yu stopped fighting to stare at the sky. In fact, this was what everyone was doing. All of them stepped back before staring at the sky in shock.

Was this…the death of an Invincible? Even if this Invincible was left with only one body, he shouldn’t have died so easily. Furthermore, that was a fight between two Invincibles and a lone opponent.

Wan Tiansheng, who seemed far away and right above them at the same time, coughed as a trail of blood dripped down his lips. With a smile, he muttered, “I…can kill Invincibles as well.”

Yes, that was a weakened Invincible, but he had still slain an Invincible.

Fifty-one years ago, he wasn’t able to kill the celestial chasm Invincible. Today, he was able to kill a nether Invincible.

Of course, he also had Su Yu to thank. Both his opponents were essentially crippled Invincibles. He wouldn’t have been able to kill the Nether River King so easily otherwise. All the shit-stirring of that kid…had paid off, after all.

“Wan Tiansheng…”

The other Invincibles looked at Wan Tiansheng with disbelief. He had actually killed an Invincible! He wasn’t even a Pseudo Invincible. He was only a ninth-stage Sunmoon with no tri-life body.

Zhu Tiandao grumbled, “I knew this!”

He should have known that in terms of cunning, he was far inferior to those from this line.

Holy shit!

That old bastard was really capable of killing an Invincible. Sure, that was a crippled Invincible, but Zhu Tiandao himself was also fighting a tri-life body. And his opponent was still alive and well.

With blood dripping out of his mouth, Wan Tiansheng laughed. Suddenly, Zhu Tiandao’s expression changed as he warned, “Watch out!”

Wan Tiansheng merely laughed yet again. He did not bother to look behind him. But he knew that the hand had finally appeared behind him.

Just like what he saw in his vision.

The traitor…had finally lost patience.

After witnessing Wan Tiansheng’s ability to kill an Invincible, after seeing the injuries Wan Tiansheng had sustained, the traitor couldn’t help but act.

At the same time, Devil King Lade reappeared. With a fearful and murderous look on his face, he threw a punch at Wan Tiansheng.

It was time for Wan Tiansheng to die. In fact, Wan Tiansheng should be honored to die alongside an Invincible, just like how Ye Batian had died back then.

The hand behind Wan Tiansheng felt far stronger than even the Nether River King. This was the hand of a future body instead of a past body.

The human traitor had finally decided to act. Wan Tiansheng was too big of a threat to be left alive. He must die.

Every single member of the multiple character faction present must die. The traitor was truly scared. He had thought that Ye Batian was the exception. But he was wrong.

Ye Batian was only Ye Batian.

He was not the entirety of the multiple character faction.

Nan Wujiang and his ability to fight an Invincible. Yun Chen and his ability to contend against Pseudo Invincibles. Liu Wenyan and his ability to fight Pseudo Invincibles. Su Yu and his ability to face the geniuses of the myriad races without losing. Su Yu and his stone statues. Su Yu and his mayorship of an ancient city. Chen Yong who had entered the Sunmoon Realm. Hong Tan with his disassembly method. Xia Yunji and the others who had entered the Sunmoon Realm one after another.

None of these people could be allowed to live.

What he saw today was simply too terrifying.

He didn’t even dare to imagine what would happen if these people were given a few more years. Could they really produce multiple Invincibles? Even if all of them ended up as physical Invincibles, they would still be too much for him to handle.

Could he really keep his identity hidden until the end? The multiple character faction wasn’t that big of a threat without an Invincible. But people capable of slaying Invincibles were evidently starting to emerge. Was a single Invincible like him really worth more than the multiple character faction to humanity?

He knew that he couldn’t afford to wait anymore. If this continued, the other human Invincibles would slowly stop tolerating him. Nobody would argue for his value just because he was an Invincible. Everyone would come to see just how valuable the multiple character faction was.

These multiple character cultivators were too strong and terrifying. And thus, he acted. After Wan Tiansheng killed an Invincible, after Wan Tiansheng was injured, he acted. His palm shot out of thin air, aiming for the back of Wan Tiansheng’s head.

This was the scene Wan Tiansheng saw in his vision. A hand from the back. Su Yu and the others saw the hand as well.

With a frown, Su Yu realized the implication of that hand.

The traitor…had finally appeared. But…he did not see the unique symbols he expected to see on the wrist. Could it be that the person he saw in the Divine Skywing Sect master’s memories was someone else instead of the traitor?

At the same time, he was also fearing for Wan Tiansheng. The principal seemed to have sustained some injuries. Could he handle the sudden sneak attack?

In fact, he was facing attacks from the front and the back. Killing an Invincible was no easy feat. His body had cracked from the fight.

But Wan Tiansheng merely laughed. Ignoring Devil King Lade, he turned around and threw a punch.

Boom!

“Heaven Suppressing Fist!”

Heaven Suppressing Fist, the secret first technique of the multiple character faction. Naturally, Su Yu did not know this technique considering his short time with the faction.

Zhu Tiandao wasn’t surprised. He knew about this technique. A lot of people knew about this fist. He wouldn’t have stopped attacking after seeing this technique during his previous battle with First Profound otherwise.

With a rumble, the space around the palm shattered, revealing an incomparably powerful existence. The palm sent Wan Tiansheng flying while coughing blood. Waiting behind him was Devil King Lade and his punch, sending Wan Tiansheng flying yet again with a hole on his chest.

Then, the two Invincibles floated side by side.

Devil King Lade glanced at the unknown Invincible whose face was covered with a layer of distortion. Even now, this mysterious traitor was still trying to hide his identity. After a cough, Devil King Lade said, “With your future body here, you won’t be able to hide for long…”

The mysterious Invincible replied, “It’s only a future body. As long as this body survives, nobody will know if my future body is not with my main body.”

He charged toward Wan Tiansheng.

Even while coughing blood endlessly, Wan Tiansheng was grinning as he said, “You’re mistaken. You will die. Your future body will die. Everyone will know your identity…”

Next, an unbelievably large River of Time appeared.

Both Devil King Lade and the mysterious Invincible stopped and gaped in shock.

“I have no future. I don’t cultivate my past. I…Wan Tiansheng, am one and only me.”

With a roar, his aura surged sharply, reaching a terrifyingly powerful level. Instantly, all the injuries on his body healed.

“You’re…dead.”

Wan Tiansheng declared emotionlessly. Both the Invincibles were alarmed. Just what manner of a monster were they facing?

Suddenly, someone shouted, “Without a future and a past, you only need to kill this iteration of him and he will cease existing!”

There was only one Wan Tiansheng. Thus, they only needed to kill this body of his.

Rumble!

The battle resumed at a far higher intensity than before.
