Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1241: It’s Up To Su Yu (1)

Human Realm.

The aura of Invincibles descended upon everyone as five Invincibles had appeared out of nowhere.

One of the newly arrived myriad race Invincibles shouted, “Mohe, Tian Dang, finish your fight immediately. Assist us with Liu Jin!”

Damn it!

What a liar!

They had been trying so hard to help him earlier, but this whole thing was a lie!

Great Han King might be strong, but he wasn’t so strong that he couldn’t be defeated. The destruction of the River of Time had injured him significantly as well. The four of them had been injured as well, but their injuries were far lighter than Great Han King’s.

Had Great Han King lost his mind? Why did he drag the four of them here when he was already so heavily injured? Then again, they understood that he wouldn’t have dragged them here if he did not have a plan to deal with them.

Sure enough, Great Han King’s voice rang out, “Tiandao, kill Mohe and assist me with these bastards.”

“…”

Silence descended.

When Zhu Tiandao’s gaze landed on Devil King Lade, the devil king hurriedly withdrew. With complete indifference, he said, “Is a devil king so easy to kill? How annoying.”

“…”

Inwardly, he was going mad.

Holy shit!

Was Great Han King crazy?

He had merely killed the immortal king by sheer luck, not through his own strength. Was the damn Great Han King trying to kill him?

Then again, he had indeed killed that immortal king without much effort. It was reasonable for others to expect more from him. Everyone believed that instead of Zhu Tianfang, Zhu Diyuan was the one from the Zhu Family who had hidden his strength the most.

Some were even starting to conclude that he was much stronger than even the likes of Ye Batian. The number two son of the Zhu Family was too good at hiding his strength. What a terrifying man.

Great Han King had not done this as a gamble. Rather, things in the Allheaven Battlefield were still very dangerous for humanity. Since the second child of Old Zhu was so capable, it was only natural for him to make full use of Zhu Number Two’s strength.

In any case, all the human combatants were fighting opponents of superior numbers or superior cultivation levels. Zhu Tiandao would be fine.

Meanwhile, Devil King Lade was staring at Zhu Tiandao solemnly. Things were getting dangerous.

***

The battle in the ruin was slowing down.

As more and more people died, only the strong were left. With so many Invincibles fighting in the area, these people were now focused on preserving their lives from stray attacks rather than fighting. The number of opponents Su Yu faced had also dropped drastically. Most of them were getting ready to start plundering the ruin.

As for Su Yu, he ignored the stone statue’s urge to leave. He was not done here. Why would he leave?

He even chimed in and shouted at Zhu Tiandao, “Prefect, kill that guy! He shall serve as the offering for your coming advancement!”

Old Zhu was too strong.

In that case, Old Zhu should kill that devil king before assisting Great Han King. By now, everyone was already aware that Great Han King had not betrayed humanity. This whole thing was merely a scheme.

But he had dragged a tad bit too many Invincibles with him into the Human Realm. That was more than he could handle.

And everyone else was already in a bitter battle. Zhu Tiandao was the only one who still seemed rather leisurely. He should stop wasting time and kill the devil king before dealing with the new arrivals.

In fact, one of the new arrivals, a divine king, was flying toward Zhu Tiandao unprompted. While flying, he shouted, “Mohe, we’ll kill him together!”

Zhu Tiandao was too terrifying for Mohe to handle alone. Thus, the divine king had decided to join hands against Zhu Tiandao.

Zhu Tiandao grimaced. Stop messing around!

Mohe alone was already enough to kill him! Why was a second Invincible coming his way? Were they going to make a meal out of him after killing him? And that damn Su Yu! Why the fuck was the damn kid urging him to fight as well?

Su Yu was not the only one doing so. Marquis Xia also shouted, “Zhu Number Two, kill them!”

“Prefect, you sure are good at hiding your strength. The time for you to showcase your real might has arrived. Deal with them, Prefect.”

Niu Baidao was very impressed at how much fate loved the Zhu Family. This was too enviable. As the Yellow Department head, Zhu Tianfang had affirmed his dao long ago. Meanwhile, Zhu Tiandao had hidden his strength deeply, easily killing an immortal king the moment he showed his real strength. He was even strong enough to face two Invincibles without being an Invincible himself. Just look at how solemn the two Invincibles facing him were.

Niu Baidao finally understood why Zhu Dizhu was the one to get the ruin back then instead of him. He was simply unloved by fate. Fortune had never smiled upon him.

Just look at the Zhu Family. That was a family of freaks. Zhu Tiandao could already be seen as an Invincible. In a way, one could say that the Zhu Family was also a family with three Invincibles. The Zhou Family was probably the only human family capable of contending against them.

Sure, the Xia Family was also filled with experts capable of contending against Invincibles. But very few of them had the ability to actually kill Invincibles. That was no easy feat. Even the likes of Nan Wujiang and First Divine couldn’t do something like that.

Yes, Wan Tiansheng was strong. But he might as well be a cripple after losing so many of his characters. Out of the twenty-four characters he had, only six were left.

Wan Tiansheng was too busy to spare any attention to Zhu Tiandao. It wasn’t like there was any need for him to worry about Zhu Tiandao. As someone capable of killing Invincibles as well, he knew full well how difficult that was. He was confident in Zhu Tiandao’s ability to keep two Invincibles occupied.

As he thought about all that had happened, he couldn’t help sighing. Even after so many years of scheming, he had still been fooled. He was not the only one doing the scheming. Everyone else was scheming as well.

While he was hiding his strength and biding his time, Great Zhou King and the others were doing the same.

Ye Batian’s death was probably the start of all these schemes.

They had started investigating, scheming, and waiting since Ye Batian’s death fifty-one years ago.

Fiery Sea would probably still die even without him here.

If he hadn’t killed Fiery Sea, Zhang Qi, who was actually Great Han King’s tri-life body, would have made a move as well. But if that had happened, things would have developed differently. It was clear these Invincibles had prepared multiple contingency plans to deal with any surprises.

While he was suspecting these Invincibles, they were suspecting him as well. Thus, everyone was holding something back. How many people were aware of Great Han King’s deception before it happened? In any case, Wan Tiansheng was not one of them.

That made it obvious that he was also one of the suspects. His real strength was not completely unknown, and his loss of a tri-life body in the past was also known to a small number of people. It wasn’t surprising for some to suspect him.

After all, he was strong enough, not an Invincible, and close enough to Ye Batian. Stealing Ye Batian’s research data, killing Ye Batian, challenging Fiery Sea King disguised as Ye Batian before humiliating Fiery Sea King…

He was probably the person best-positioned to do all that. Both he and Ye Batian were non-Invincibles as strong as Invincibles. Both also came from the same faction. Taking all that into consideration, he was actually the biggest suspect.

At that realization, Wan Tiansheng laughed in a self-mocking manner.

True. Even he would suspect himself.

Even though he had killed Fiery Sea, it was reasonable for some to suspect that he had done so to silence a potential witness. He sighed and said nothing. As for the Invincibles around him, he was too weakened to handle any additional Invincibles. It was up to the others to deal with these enemy Invincibles.

Nevertheless, he had still been able to recover a small portion of his strength. As he scanned the battlefield, he shot toward Lan Tian. There, Lan Tian was losing against Lade. Nobody had bothered to help him even when it was obvious he was at his limits.

In a way, he did it to himself by opting to affirm his dao in such a bizarre manner in the middle of a battle. Was there even a hope of success when he was affirming his dao in such a manner?

***

Everyone was looking forward to witnessing Zhu Tiandao demonstrate his prowess.

They were waiting to see him take on two Invincibles all by himself.

Meanwhile, Zhu Tiandao was losing his mind. He had zero chance of succeeding. This was not something he could handle.

Could anyone save him? Anyone!

This was not a joke. After killing him, the two Invincibles would be able to completely alter the shaky balance here. With their help, the other Invincibles would be free of their opponents one after another.

After killing all the top human combatants, the entire Human Realm would be at risk. Great Han King would die. All of them would die. The entire human race would be at risk. Zhu Tiandao had never expected something like this to happen. How could Great Han King entrust this task to him? What the fuck was this? Now, the fate of humanity rested on him.

“Is he stupid? What an idiot! This is a big mistake!”

He kept shouting inwardly, hoping that Great Han King would sense his thoughts, “Great Han King! Stop messing around! This is not a joke! That kill earlier was an accident! That guy lost both his tri-life bodies outside the Human Realm! It had nothing to do with me!”

The risk was too big. At his defeat, the entire Human Realm would be at risk. How did he turn himself into the one to determine the fate of humanity by simply killing a dying immortal king?

Meanwhile, Great Han King was busy fighting the three Invincibles. Due to his injuries, he was having a hard time against them. He was placing his hope on Zhu Tiandao or anyone else to complete their dao affirmation and lend him a hand.

At the very least, they had to last until these Invincibles decided it was time for them to withdraw. That would happen after Xia Longwu’s dao affirmation. Regardless of the result, the human Invincibles would return. The myriad race Invincibles would be forced to withdraw unless they were prepared to fight to their death. And Xia Longwu’s dao affirmation might be a long process.

Accelerating Xia Longwu’s dao affirmation was not an option. He was too strong, and there were too many eyes on him. The same trick that had worked for the Zhou brothers wouldn’t work for him.

In truth, those fighting in the Human Realm had performed incredibly well. They had removed a considerable number of enemy Invincibles from the battlefield, such as those killed, those tied up in battles, and those supporting the young geniuses across realms.

Despite his injuries, Great Han King still fought valiantly. After all, his strength character was still very powerful. He was not as tricky an opponent as a regular cultural researcher, but he was very powerful in terms of combat.

Against three Invincibles, he did not have the upper hand. Nevertheless, he was still putting up a fight, however difficult it was. In fact, he had not dragged four Invincibles over for no reason. He did it because he had the confidence to deal with three of them.

Soon, his senses detected something. Zhu Tiandao was an expert as well. They weren’t even that far away from each other. Thus, he was able to sense Zhu Tiandao’s thoughts, especially when those thoughts concerned him and Zhu Tiandao was thinking so hard.

He wasn’t able to pick up much. He could only feel Zhu Tiandao’s irritation, helplessness, and despair.

Great Han King’s heart skipped a beat. Did Zhu Tiandao injure himself heavily from his previous fight? Or was there some other reason for this? Whatever it was, he had to hang in there or things would get really bad.
