Tribulation of Myriad Races

Xia Longwu had been replaced by Xia Xiao’er in the middle of his dao affirmation. Nobody had seen that coming. Nobody even knew Marquis Xia was capable of that before it happened. Clearly, this wasn’t a last-minute plan. Rather, he had been thinking about it for a very long time.

Wan Tiansheng had said that those from Ye Batian’s direct line, starting from Ye Batian himself, cared too much.

But he had forgotten to include himself among them.

He, Xia Longwu, Marquis Xia, Liu Wenyan, Hong Tan…

Two generations of the multiple character faction.

Xia Longwu was Wan Tiansheng’s student while Marquis Xia was half a student of Ye Batian.

As his body crumbled apart and his sea of willpower collapsed, Marquis Xia faced death unwillingly, only hoping that his nephew would succeed.

He had used his final breath to scold Liu Wenyan.

And then, he saw Liu Wenyan in his dim vision. Why was that bastard the final thing he saw in life?

Was that bastard not going to let him die in peace?

“Junior Brother…”

A sigh rang out in Marquis Xia’s consciousness.

“Teacher did not leave anything for you. Let me change that and grant you his final character.”

Right at that moment, a massive River of Time appeared. Wan Tiansheng walked out of it while coughing blood. He looked in Xia Longwu’s direction and smiled. He wished to be stubborn one last time as well. After all, Xia Longwu was his student.

After today, Wan Tiansheng, Ye Batian, and multiple character faction would be no more.

The final character of Ye Batian exploded.

This was the final Ye Batian’s character in Liu Wenyan’s possession. This was the character that had allowed him to fight Pseudo Invincibles. This was also the main character of Ye Batian.

Also appearing from the same River of Time was Liu Wenyan. The two had arrived to help Xia Longwu. But surprisingly, Xia Longwu had been replaced by Marquis Xia during the critical moment.

Under Wan Tiansheng’s guidance, Marquis Xia’s sea of willpower moved toward the River of Time. The River of Time started shaking violently. The Devil Pseudo Emperor had once rescued Lade with his River of Time.

But he was a Pseudo Emperor.

Wan Tiansheng was not.

He continued coughing blood as he guided Marquis Xia’s sea of willpower away. As for Liu Wenyan, he detonated the final character of Ye Batian, forcing the surrounding Invincibles to stop their advance.

Liu Wenyan was also coughing blood as he laughed, “Xia Longwu is going to complete his advancement soon. Why are you attacking us? Go attack him.”

All these multiple character faction members had appeared at the last minute. Wan Tiansheng, the supposed demon, could not let go of his student.

Liu Wenyan, who was left with only one of Ye Batian’s character, couldn’t give up on the reticent Xia Longwu either. He owed the Xia Family too much. If it wasn’t for him, Xia Longwu wouldn’t have needed to establish the persona of a bloodthirsty killer.

Thus, the two of them were here.

Wan Tiansheng had once cautioned Su Yu against trying to help Xia Longwu. But he had arrived himself.

Because that was his student.

Even if he knew that he might not survive this trip, he had still decided to come. Thanks to a twist of fate, he ended up rescuing Marquis Xia instead of Xia Longwu. The Invincibles did not need his reminder. They were already heading in Xia Longwu’s direction. But they were also infuriated with Wan Tiansheng, Xia Xiao’er, and Liu Wenyan.

Multiple character faction!

That damn line again!

Marquis Xia, Xia Longwu, Liu Wenyan, Wan Tiansheng, and Su Yu. That line specialized in producing the most annoying of people.

It wasn’t a huge line. It only had a small number of members.

It didn’t even have an Invincible.

Yet that was the line that had ruined their plans repeatedly.

They could not tolerate the existence of this line.

They snapped Wan Tiansheng’s River of Time, causing his body to start tearing apart. As he did not cultivate his past and future, the death of this body would be the end of him.

However, he appeared completely calm. He had advised Su Yu to not be stupid and to keep his trump cards hidden. However, Wan Tiansheng himself had revealed his River of Time, an abnormally powerful wide River of Time.

Liu Wenyan was here as well, bringing the valuable last character of his teacher.

From now on, no legacy of Ye Batian would remain in the world.

It had been fifty years. It was time for all these grudges to end.

Everything had started because of Ye Batian. Everything should also end with him.

The two multiple character faction members had offered the last of what they could offer: A River of Time and a character.

These were meant for Xia Longwu.

With Marquis Xia’s sea of willpower in hand, Liu Wenyan sighed, “Why is it you? What a waste…”

He sighed. How surprising. So the damn fatty had been hiding this trump card all along? With the River of Time snapped, their way back was severed. Wan Tiansheng appeared calm and indifferent, but someone else was wailing madly.

“You lied! You lied to me! You promised to travel the world with me! You lied!”

Wan Tiansheng looked in a certain direction and smiled.

It was Lan Tian. He seemed to have grown even more insane than before.

This trip here by him and Liu Wenyan was essentially a suicide trip. Yes, they did manage to prevent Marquis Xia’s death. But it would be more accurate to say that they had merely delayed his death before dying together.

If Su Yu were to do this, Wan Tiansheng would call him a fool. But such was how humanity was. One could easily tell others what to do, but one would often find it difficult to obey what they preached.

Wan Tiansheng had taught many people before. According to his lectures, being too sentimental was the worst thing in the Allheaven Battlefield. Even when one’s family and friends had died, one should still withdraw if that was the tactical thing to do.

As long as one was alive, one could always seek vengeance in the future. One should not act like a fool and charge forward to die. He had chided a lot of people for doing such foolish things.

If they knew they would die, why charge forward? What was the point of throwing their lives away?

Dead friends?

Dead family?

Stay alive and take revenge, not throw away one’s life pointlessly! That was what the wise would do. That was what he had taught numerous students in the academy. Alas, he had failed to do what he preached.

Why was he here?

To throw his life away?

It was just one student.

And his student wasn’t even here anymore. Only Xia Xiao’er was left. Should he still help?

He should ignore Xiao Xiao’er instead. That would be the wise thing to do.

Alas, he had still acted. Those of the multiple character faction were too sentimental. That was their biggest weakness.

He was well aware of that. But he couldn’t change himself. That was why he had advised Su Yu, the hope of the multiple character faction, against such foolishness. For generations, they had erred. This should not persist in future generations as this was a weakness everyone could exploit.

Wan Tiansheng smiled and glanced at Liu Wenyan, who was looking perfectly calm as well. Without Ye Batian’s character, he had been reduced to a third-stage Sunmoon. Facing the crushing pressure of Invincibles, his body started falling apart. However, he maintained his grip on Marquis Xia’s sea of willpower.

Fifty years of patience. They did not seem to have gained anything of value. This felt like a worthless death. But he was past caring.

He looked down at Su Yu.

Su Yu was looking at them as well. He saw everything. He saw the destruction of Marquis Xia’s body. He saw the collapse of Marquis Xia’s sea of willpower.

He also saw Wan Tiansheng and Liu Wenyan. He was surprised.

Su Yu laughed. But as he laughed, he started crying. He wasn’t crying for Marquis Xia. Rather, he cried for the two fools. They seemed incapable of doing what they preached.

They told him to not throw his life away. They told him that nothing was more important than the preservation of his own life. Even if his father was killed, he must flee instead of throwing himself at a hopeless battle. In that case, was Xia Xiao’er their father? Why were they helping him?

Suddenly, an ancient city descended from the sky and landed in front of them. Su Yu was not placing his hope on the stone statue. He knew that the stone statue cared a lot about the laws. But he was very adept at the manipulation of laws as well. With a roar, he hammered a late-stage Sunmoon resident to death.

His victim was the Sunmoon from the nether race who had converted not long ago, also the son of Nether River King. Since the father was dead, what was the point of keeping him around? To give him a chance to take revenge?

With the death of a late-stage Sunmoon resident, a death spirit appeared. Or to be precise, Death Sovereign Xing Yue appeared. She looked at Su Yu coldly.

According to the laws, she had to show up since Su Yu had killed a late-stage Sunmoon resident. Killing a regular Sunmoon resident would trigger the appearance of Pseudo Invincible death spirits, but killing a late-stage Sunmoon resident would guarantee her appearance.

Was Su Yu dreaming of gaining her help against those Invincibles? He was the one who had killed a resident. Why should she act against someone other than him?

“Get into the city!”

Su Yu shouted. He knew that if this was any other time, the two would not be willing to enter the city. That would only bring him more danger. The stone statue only cared about the laws. And according to the laws, even Invincibles could enter the city as long as they refrain from killing anyone in the city.

If they were to start killing, death spirits of corresponding levels would appear. Due to Su Yu’s unique status, it wouldn’t be easy to kill him. But he wasn’t impossible to kill. And now, with the death sovereign appearing due to someone Su Yu killed, she was allowed to kill Su Yu as per the laws.

Wan Tiansheng sighed. If they did not enter, would Su Yu be able to defend himself against the death sovereign himself? But if they were to enter, the Invincibles would enter as well. The stone statue would not go against the laws.

Wan Tiansheng felt terrible. Why was the multiple character faction filled with such fools? It was no wonder the multiple character faction was in such a terrible spot. Then again, it was inevitable that there would be such fools in the world.

That was why he cared so much about the world.

Multiple character faction…a faction deserving of annihilation.

No faction deserved annihilation more than them. Their enemies only needed to try killing one of them and a bunch of them would gladly throw their lives away.

Wan Tiansheng smiled bitterly. Liu Wenyan had a helpless expression as well. After swinging his sword once, Wan Tiansheng dragged Liu Wenyan into the city. Xing Yue stared at all of them coldly. Did Su Yu think that she wouldn’t kill him?

He was the one who had broken the laws. He had survived killing people and death spirits in the past not because he couldn’t be killed. Rather, Xing Yue had been more interested in turning Su Yu into a death spirit.

But since Su Yu was willingly throwing his life away, she wouldn’t mind taking it in advance. In any case, he was already strong enough to fight Sunmoons. She might as well take this chance to kill him.

That way, he wouldn’t be able to keep annoying her anymore.

As of late, she had been feeling greatly uncomfortable with Su Yu constantly absorbing her death qi like a parasite. Because of him, she couldn’t even tend to her other matters anymore.

And thus, she decided to act.
