Tribulation of Myriad Races

“How is this possible?”

Numerous people were shocked.

Six golden stripes had appeared in the blink of an eye.

Impossible!

How was this possible?

Even Heavenly Forge King’s jaw dropped. He had been a weaponsmith for hundreds of years yet this was his first time seeing something like this. More importantly, it hadn’t happened to a trash weapon. Instead, it had happened to a peak earth weapon.

Six golden stripes had appeared in a flash.

Just what was going on here?

***

Just then, Su Yu discovered something different about the book.

Together, culture and radiance had become one with the book. It was as though they had always belonged there. The moment the fusion was complete, all the roaring beasts atop the book ceased their resistance.

Culture. Radiance. Civilization.

Su Yu had started this project out of a vague and random idea he had of making a Myriad Race Memoir. But when he looked at the two characters on the cover, he blanked out. He could already sense the connection between him and the book. It felt as though the book was also his character.

His surroundings blurred as scenes from the past of these beasts started playing in his vision.

At the same time, the crimson clouds in the sky underwent an abrupt and massive growth.

While Su Yu’s aura was growing, the aura of the blood tribulation grew as well.

Finally, under the influence of the heavenly laws, the crimson clouds became a man.

One man became many. Two, five, six, seven, eight…

In the blink of an eye, more than ten of them appeared.

“You must be punished!”

“You must be punished!”

“You must be punished!”

“…”

Every single one of them was emanating an incomparably powerful aura. Everyone inside and around the city was stunned.

These crimson men…were starting to feel alive. However, everyone knew that these weren’t living beings. These were merely the manifestation of the heavenly laws.

However, this was the first time they had ever heard the heavenly laws speaking.

***

Inner hall.

Grandstar’s expression changed drastically.

“Impossible!”

Why was that happening?

At the same time, a massive palace appeared from the sky. That was the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. It had never dared to show itself in public, yet it had done just that now.

A silhouette appeared in the main hall of the palace while muttering, “Impossible!”

Moments later, an ancient city descended. Grand Dream City had arrived without being called by Su Yu. Inside the city, the old turtle opened his eyes. When his gaze landed on Su Yu’s book, and when he saw the civilization character made up of culture and radiance characters on the book, his expression changed. “Impossible!”

Then, the old turtle looked up at the crimson men in the sky with flickering eyes. Su Yu had somehow provoked even these laws. He was too rash! This was troublesome.

***

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion and Grand Dream City were not the only ones who had arrived suddenly. Numerous portals appeared in the sky. One expert after another stepped out of the tear in space and looked at the crimson men in surprise and alarm.

Next, an indifferent voice resounded in the air, “The heavens have rejected Su Yu of the ancient city. If he survives today, the myriad races shall join hands to eliminate him.”

“Tiangu!”

Someone exclaimed in surprise. That voice belonged to Tiangu, the number one expert of the immortal race, an incomparably ancient existence.

He had…personally issued a kill order for Su Yu. This was the first time he had ever done something like this.

Sure, it wasn’t like the immortals had never killed before. But this was different. Regardless of whether it was Ye Batian or Xia Longwu, no Pseudo Emperor had acted against them or issued a kill order for them.

They had always been glad to let their subordinates deal with these enemies. Failure did not matter.

But today, Tiangu had issued a kill order for Su Yu without any hesitation.

He declared, “All immortals are hereby duty-bound to kill Su Yu. His death will be a blessing for the myriad races.”

Su Yu was completely dumbfounded.

What?

Why would a Pseudo Emperor appear out of nowhere to issue a kill order against him?

Had this happened before?

Next, numerous presences arrived as Great Qin King’s cold voice rang out, “Tiangu, what is this?”

Tiangu ignored the question and continued, “Divines, devils, dragons, nethers, and the other ancient existences from the various races. Are you present? Do you object to this?”

Tiangu had always been extremely low-profiled. Even when he disliked the human race, he would always pretend to be courteous toward them. But now, he had abandoned all pretenses for Su Yu.

The Divine Pseudo Emperor’s voice rang out from the Divine Realm, “If he survives the tribulation, he shall be killed. All divines are hereby duty-bound to kill Su Yu.”

“The nethers agree.”

“The dragons agree.”

The devils said nothing. The Devil Pseudo Emperor’s projection did appear, but he maintained his silence with an odd look in his eyes.

What was going on?

In truth, he was quite confused. What was happening? He knew that Su Yu was forging a weapon. The weapon was very powerful. It had triggered the tribulations of the heavens. He knew this as well.

But when the heavenly laws started appearing, Tiangu had changed from a spectator to a participant. He had even called for the myriad races to kill Su Yu. Why was this?

The old turtle’s voice rang out, “The myriad races are free to decide whether they want to kill Su Yu or not. But if anyone dares to make the attempt within a holy city, the heavenly laws will not spare you.”

“Grand Dream!” Tiangu said, “You know full well what he’s doing.”

“I do.”

“Then, killing him will be an enforcement of the laws.”

“No. You don’t speak for the laws.” The old turtle said, “Nobody can speak for the laws. Nobody can replace the laws. He can only die when the laws want him to die. None of you represent the laws.”

Right at that moment, a massive opening appeared in the sky. From the opening, a gigantic heavenly source fruit tree could be seen. And under the tree was a furball big enough to cover the entire sky. He looked down at Su Yu with doubt and confusion.

But he forgot about Su Yu soon after. Instead, he said, “Tiangu, if you come out, I’ll eat you! You can try!”

Beside the big furball, the female furball was also looking at Su Yu doubtfully. Soon, she said, “Kill Su Yu and we eat you all!”

“…”

At that, one Pseudo Emperor after another appeared. They were all appearing as projections. The old turtle was the sole exception. He had arrived in his own body.

Tiangu did not bother to argue. He said, “Both of us understand what’s going on. Su Yu must die. Since you disagree, we will let our abilities speak.”

With that, his projection vanished.

Suddenly, Su Yu’s voice rang out, “Tiangu, did I sleep with your wife? Or your mom?”

“…”

Silence descended.

Generally, Su Yu would avoid provoking these Pseudo Emperors if he could help it. But Tiangu had issued a kill order against him for no reason. Of course, he could guess that this was most likely due to the crimson men in the sky. Or to be precise, it was due to his book. But why was Tiangu being such a busybody? How could Su Yu hold back after what Tiangu did?

Meanwhile, the crimson men in the sky were growing stronger and stronger. Instead of attacking directly, they surrounded Su Yu. At this point, they were already starting to reach the level of a late-stage Sunmoon.

In truth, Su Yu was very surprised as well.

Fuck!

This tribulation was too strong. He was sure this wasn’t caused by the weapon alone. Rather, it was the culture and radiance characters he added to the book. What was this? The tribulation had produced more than ten eighth-stage Sunmoons to deal with him. This was strong enough to kill even ninth-stage Sunmoons.

Who did he provoke to deserve this?

Why did his dao weapon provoke such a reaction? Intolerable by the myriad races?

Su Yu had some guesses after seeing how the myriad races were reacting.

However, he couldn’t show any fear.

If he showed fear, a large number of experts might really start coming after him. There also wasn’t any need for him to show fear. He didn’t know what the old turtle and the two furballs were thinking, but it was undeniable that he had received the backing of three Pseudo Emperors.

After cursing inwardly for a bit, he coldly said, “Immortals? I will remember this. When I find the time, I’ll pay the Immortal Realm a visit. Tiangu, I hope the youngsters of your race will continue living well. Please don’t die off. I will personally establish a death tunnel in your Immortal Realm. I believe you will enjoy that a lot.”

“Sure.”

Tiangu did not have that strong of a reaction. After giving an indifferent reply, he vanished completely. With his departure, the other experts vanished one after another as well.

The old turtle looked at Su Yu again before sending a voice transmission, “It’s best to…destroy this book. This is…inauspicious.”

Inauspicious.

That term again.

Su Yu laughed. That was his dao weapon. So what if it was inauspicious?

Destroy it?

Something was telling him that he couldn’t destroy the book. Destroying it would bring him unimaginable consequences. Perhaps destroying it might really end his path of cultivation. And that was not something he wanted.

He had never intended to provoke those Pseudo Emperors. It wouldn’t benefit him. However, he had not imagined that forging a single weapon would provoke such a reaction from them. But at this point, what could he do apart from facing the consequences? There was no need to shiver in fear.

He grinned and said, “Everyone, I might not even survive this tribulation. If you really want the chance to kill me, why don’t you help me out with this tribulation instead?”

All around him, the crimson men were still growing stronger. They were on the verge of attacking.

At the same time, Su Yu’s aura had also reached the peak of his current cultivation. Then, he swallowed a drop of eighth-stage Sunmoon blood essence, instantly pushing his aura to the level of an eighth-stage Sunmoon.

Unfortunately, he was alone when faced with more than ten enemies with the same level of strength.

That was not the end of his preparations. His entire body trembled. He was finally going to finish his final body forging. He wanted to see if an advancement would give both himself and his book another boost.

Then, he roared loudly, “Lord Grandstar, I need some privacy from all these outsiders.”

Whoosh!

With a rumble, the city disappeared.
