Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1307: Su Yu’s Inheritance (1)

Rumble!

Somewhere in the Sea of Stars, a battle was ongoing.

With one strike, Zhan Wushuang punched through a Mountainsea before extracting the blood essence and casually tossed the corpse away. Then, he left without giving the corpse a second look.

A group of terrified individuals were left behind him. Their leader had just been killed.

Zhan Wushuang.

He had regrown his physical body recently. Even so, he was still an eighth-stage Mountainsea, a top genius of the divine race.

Behind him, a trembling individual asked, “Why? You’re a genius of the divine race. You should be attacking the elites of the other major races. Why did you set your eyes on our leader?”

They couldn’t understand this. A top genius like this should not have attacked those from a minor race like them for no good reason. A Mountainsea from a minor race should not be sufficient to even catch the ire of Zhan Wushuang.

Zhan Wushuang continued flying away without a response. Behind him, a burst of immortal qi erupted.

The air shimmered as Xuan Wuji appeared. He coldly demanded, “Zhan Wushuang, what are you doing? Why are you killing and extracting the blood essence of the innocent?”

Zhan Wushuang ignored the question.

Xuan Wuji questioned, “You were captured by Su Yu yet you were able to return alive. Are you doing this under his order? Have you submitted yourself to him? We all know that Su Yu is good at producing ability blood essence. Zhan Wushuang, don’t do anything you will regret.”

Finally, Zhan Wushuang turned his head to look at Xuan Wuji. He indifferently said, “Xuan Wuji, mind your own business.”

Then, he vanished with a flicker.

Xuan Wuji stared at the empty spot in front of him for a while before smiling to himself. Then, Dao Cheng appeared beside him and softly said, “Brother Wuji, looks like he has indeed reached an agreement with Su Yu.”

Xuan Wuji sneered, “Definitely. Su Yu isn’t the type to release a captured enemy for no reason.”

Dao Cheng nodded in agreement.

Behind them, the surviving individuals started begging for justice, “Lord Immortal Wuji, we beseech you to enforce justice against Zhan Wushuang for slaughtering the innocent. He has fallen…”

“Yes. He has fallen.” Xuan Wuji smiled, “I will avenge you. The myriad races will not tolerate the existance of such a demon.”

They were overjoyed to hear that. They were merely trying their luck, but the immortal genius had really agreed to enforce justice for them. This was quite a pleasant surprise. This was unbelievable.

Several characters appeared and twirled around Dao Cheng’s fingers before vanishing. In the blink of eye, they shot through the survivors before igniting their corpses. In the blink of an eye, not one of them remained.

Next, Dao Cheng’s characters rippled, creating a warp in the air as he twisted the time and space of the area.

Done with that, Dao Cheng smiled and said, “Brother Wuji, do you have your recording? May I suggest that you sell it to the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion?”

Xuan Wuji said, “There is no rush. I’ll do some editing. Zhan Wushuang, a genius of the first divine race, who has fallen so low that he’s slaughtering the innocent for no reason. He is truly the pride of the divines.”

“With the devils in chaos and the humans being the public enemy of the myriad races, only us immortals can pursue justice against the divines.”

Xuan Wuji sighed and said, “How sad. The divine and devil races are among the most powerful races in existence. Yet Zhan Wushuang has joined hands with the demonic Su Yu to slaughter the innocent, supporting Su Yu in his pursuit of the demonic arts.”

Dao Cheng laughed as the characters around his fingers vanished. “True. However, the ultimate blame lies on Su Yu. I do hope he will enter the Luminous Domain Mansion this time and give the myriad races a chance to punish him for his sins.”

Xuan Wuji nodded with a smile. He said, “The humans are trying to get the nine-leaf skylotus to push Great Qin King into the Pseudo Emperor Realm. As for Su Yu, he is actually a hidden chess piece of Great Qin King. Together, they will conspire to conquer humanity before conquering the Myriad Realms.”

“Su Yu must die.”

The two smiled again before vanishing with a flicker.

Not long after, a furious Sunmoon arrived. When he saw the blood in the sea, he roared, “Who did this? The bloodjade snake race will not forgive this!”

Damn it!

All the people who had died here were the members of his race. Many of them were Mountainseas, with a few Skysoar and Cloudbreach geniuses in the group as well. They were on the way to try their luck at the Luminous Domain Mansion, but they had all been slaughtered out here. Who was the culprit? When the Sunmoon inspected the corpse left behind by Zhan Wushuang, his eyes flickered with uncertainty. A divine? A first divine?

Damn it!

The Mountainsea had been punched through with one hit.

“First divine race…”

The powerful divine qi left in the corpse was not something one could easily fake.

“Who was it?”

The Sunmoon’s face fell. How did those from his race provoke such an attack from the powerful divine race? The Sunmoon did not stay long. After collecting all the corpses he could find, he vanished with a flicker.

***

Battles were erupting all over Sea of Stars, and people were dying everywhere.

Somewhere in the Sea of Stars. The surface of the sea rippled as a little golden dragon shot out of it. Next, a figure appeared at the same spot.

Topsoil Spirit cursed, “Long Wuyou, are you courting death?”

Damn it!

He had not provoked the little golden dragon. Why was the little golden dragon bothering him?

Long Wuyou was already a Mountainsea while Topsoil Spirit was still an eighth-stage Cloudbreach. However, Topsoil Spirit had rich enough combat experience that he did not fear the inexperienced golden dragon. He warned, “If you keep following me, I won’t be holding back anymore!”

Up in the sky, the little golden dragon said, “Topsoil Spirit, everyone is saying that you’re the hope of the five elemental race. You are the supposed future king of the five elements. Let me see just how strong you are when you’re in the middle of the sea compared to a dragon.”

The king of the five elements?

What a joke.

The little golden dragon refused to believe that anyone could be stronger than the dragons in water.

Topsoil Spirit cursed and said, “I never said that. Strictly speaking, Su Yu is far stronger in water. Long Wuyou, why don’t you fight him instead?”

“Nope. I’m only interested in fighting you.”

“…”

Damn it! So this bastard dragon was at least smart enough to pick his fights. Topsoil Spirit didn’t know what to say anymore.

Suddenly, his expression changed. Then, he smiled and said, “Long Wuyou, there’s a human there. Look at how easily he’s walking on water. He has an impressive mastery over water. You should challenge him instead.”

Long Wuyou looked over and coldly said, “That’s only a third-stage Cloudbreach.”

Such an opponent was too weak to catch his eyes. As a young genius, he had his pride.

When the distant human noticed the golden dragon and the illusory silhouette, his eyes flickered as he muttered, “Topsoil Spirit and Long Wuyou?”

Both were Earth Index geniuses. None of them should be provoked lightly. That was especially true for Topsoil Spirit, who was ranked quite highly on the Earth Index.

Noted that the two were observing him, he didn’t dare to turn around and flee. Rather, he stopped and flashed a humble smile before saying, “Hello, friends. May I ask for directions to Grandstar City?”

Topsoil Spirit and Long Wuyou exchanged gazes. Then, Topsoil Spirit said, “You’re heading to Grandstar, Friend?”

“Yes.” Instead of fleeing, the human started approaching them. With a smile, he asked, “Do any of you know the way to Grandstar City?”

“What is your business there?” Curious, Topsoil Spirit said, “That’s a dangerous place. Su Yu might be a human, but he does not seem to like other humans that much.”

The human said, “I’m different. Are you heading there as well? The two of you look quite familiar. Are you perhaps the famous Topsoil Spirit of the five elemental race and Long Wuyou of the golden dragon race?”

The two were quite surprised to hear that. Topsoil Spirit asked, “Why aren’t you running if you know who we are?”

The human laughed, “Why should I run? It’s not like I can escape the two of you. And if you don’t intend to kill me, why should I bother? As one of the few members of Great Xia’s multiple character faction, I would rather face my death bravely than struggling before dying pathetically.”

Alarmed, Topsoil Spirit asked, “Are you…really from the multiple character faction?”

“Yes.” The human introduced himself, “My name is Liu Hong, a researcher from the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy. My teacher was Zhang Ruoling, a student of the multiple character faction from Liu Wenyan’s generation. You might not know my teacher since he died long ago after failing to withstand the pressure of the characters he inherited.”

Topsoil Spirit muttered in surprise, “Zhang Ruoling…that name sounds familiar. Are you the same Liu Hong who is sixth on the Yellow Index?”

Anyone capable of entering the index could be considered a top genius. So this fellow was a member of the multiple character faction as well?

Topsoil Spirit asked again, “Are you really from the multiple character faction?”

“Yeah.”

Liu Hong flashed his elegant and gentle smile as he said, “I heard both of you are enemies of my martial nephew, Su Yu. Sigh. I guess fate is indeed toying with me.”

With a regretful tone, he said, “If you wish to kill me, so be it.”

Topsoil Spirit merely smiled while Long Wuyou snorted with disdain, “What a joke. Who do you think you are? Su Yu? Me? Killing you? Are you joking?”

This was a mere third-stage Cloudbreach. Even if he was on the Yellow Index, but the Yellow Index was nothing special. Long Wuyou was too proud to dirty his hands with the blood of such a weakling. Weakling…well, that was not exactly true since this was still an index genius.

Unlike Long Wuyou, Topsoil Spirit wasn’t so fearful of Su Yu that he wouldn’t dare to kill anyone from the multiple character faction. But he found no reason to offend Su Yu excessively for no reason. Instead, he was more curious about this human. He asked, “Friend, are you going to Grandstar City for Luminous Domain Mansion?”

Liu Hong nodded, “Yes. I was on my way back to Great Xia when I heard that Principal Wan had left. Even Martial Uncle Liu and the others were gone. Sigh. After thinking about it, I realized that I have to rely on Su Yu if I want to get a slot to the Luminous Domain Mansion.”

With a slightly embarrassed expression, he continued, “Principal Nan Wujiang is the Invincible of my faction, but…sigh. I think I’m better off looking for Su Yu. No matter what, I was his teacher for one year. I only need a slot for myself. After hearing that the ancient cities will be getting their slots as well, I decided to get one from him.”
