Tribulation of Myriad Races

Inside the ancient city.

Tian He, whose death qi was slowly receding, was staring at Heavendoom in shock as well.

Holy shit!

Holy shit!

A backer! A super backer! A supreme backer second only to a Pseudo Emperor!

That was amazing!

This was an existence comparable to Great Qin King! How was he…so strong? Tian He had never imagined this. Heavendoom had never fought seriously in front of him before. Most of the time, Heavendoom would only fight through a projection.

The old turtle had personally stopped Su Yu from helping Heavendoom with his death qi. Why? Because Heavendoom was still able to withstand it. He only wanted Su Yu as a mayor because he wanted to go out and mess around. Then again, he had never claimed that he was no longer able to withstand the burden. He was different from Empyrean Cloud and Rainbow Rain.

Among them, Rainbow Rain was the weakest. She was near her limit. Empyrean Cloud was slightly better, but she would probably reach her limit in a year or two. Meanwhile, Heavendoom was perfectly fine. He only wanted to leave because he was bored.

And he had grabbed this opportunity to leave. He had even smashed a high-tier Eternal apart with his staff, demonstrating his terrifying strength. Perhaps not even Great Qin King was capable of that. At the very least, Great Qin King had never shown such strength before.

Having gotten the chance to vent some of his frustrations, Heavendoom grinned with satisfaction. He was completely unconcerned with the crimson clouds above him. With the arrival of the numerous tokens, the power of the laws was weakening.

Numerous people swore inwardly.

Damn that bastard!

He was deliberately causing trouble!

Not even the Pseudo Divine Emperor wanted to say much anymore. He merely shouted at Tiangu, “Tiangu, use your assembly tokens.”

Then, five crimson tokens shot out of the Divine Realm. Each token emanated a powerful aura. The moment they arrived, the crimson clouds were weakened considerably. But this was not enough.

Next, more crimson tokens flew out of the Devil, Nether, Primordial Giant, Spirit, Dragon, Iron Devourer, and Hou Realms. Together, they suppressed the crimson clouds.

Twenty tokens. Thirty tokens.

Not long after, five tokens flew out of the Immortal Realm.

At this point, the crimson clouds were already fully suppressed. However, they had yet to disperse. With a snort, the old turtle said, “Only forty-three. We need seven more—”

Suddenly, he roared, “Stop!”

Along with his shout, space rippled to reveal two furballs with their mouths opened wide, as though they were about to eat something. Right after hearing the old turtle’s shout, the big furball shut his mouth and laughed, “We’re here to help! Help! We have tokens as well! Come on! Baby’s mama, take it out!”

The female furball threw a token out.

With an awkward laugh, the big furball stared at Tiangu and said, “We’re not eating you! Not eating you! We’re here to help! Don’t look at me like that. You’re yummy, but I’m not hungry. I’m not eating when I’m not hungry.”

Tiangu’s eyes flickered, but he said nothing.

Meanwhile, the big furball looked sad. He decided to give up. If he were to eat Tiangu now, everyone would beat them up. Sigh. How sad. The food was right in front of him, yet he couldn’t eat it.

Even the old turtle was stopping him from eating.

The old turtle asked again, “Are there more tokens? If not, we will have to smash the tribulation apart forcefully. However, someone will need to bear with the backlash of defying the laws.”

He looked at the Divine and Immortal Realms.

With a frown, Tiangu said, “The power of the laws has been greatly suppressed. Empyrean Cloud can handle the rest. Let her withstand the tribulation. The laws will naturally withdraw after that.”

Before the old turtle could say anything, Heavendoom roared in protest, “Fuck that! How dare you attack us? Tiangu, you take the tribulation. If you dare to refuse, we will break the Immortal Realm today. Back then, even your father had to address me as Lord Heavendoom. How impudent of you to scheme against us!”

Tiangu said, “Guardian Heavendoom, the tribulation has been weakened greatly. Empyrean Cloud will be fine. Why must you keep forcing us?”

The laws would not retreat before Empyrean Cloud faced the tribulation. With forty-four tokens, they could only suppress the tribulation, not scatter it. Only by having more than half the total tokens present would scattering the tribulation be possible.

There were probably more tokens out there, but the minor races wouldn’t have the courage to show their tokens while the major races would continue holding back. The rest of the tokens had vanished alongside the extinct races. It was no longer possible to gather all ninety-nine of the tokens. But it was probably still possible to gather fifty tokens.

Nevertheless, the tribulation had been weakened sufficiently for Empyrean Cloud to survive. They had suppressed nearly eighty percent of the tribulation’s strength. However, Heavendoom disagreed.

He longed to fight a battle outside the city again. Thus, he sneered and said, “We refuse. If you dare, feel free to stop here. The culprits need to be the ones to withstand the tribulation. If the immortals and divines refuse, the myriad races can suffer together. I wish to see if the myriad races are really willing to suffer alongside you. Devils, dragons, nethers, and spirits. Are you willing?”

They said nothing. But were they willing? What a stupid question. Of course they were unwilling.

The immortals and divines were the ones who had attacked the ancient cities and provoked Empyrean Cloud into losing her mind. Because of that, Heavendoom had gone crazy as well. They were already very unhappy with the fact that they had to help clean up the mess. And now, they had to suffer the backlash as well? Dream on!

Numerous powerful silhouettes appeared in the sky. As their auras rippled out, an ancient race expert demanded, “Tiangu, you take the backlash. Stop wasting time. I don’t care about your conflicts. My realm has stayed out of all wars for many years. If you dare to drag us into war, we will destroy your Immortal Realm!”

“Jiwu, you take the backlash alongside Tiangu.”

A different person demanded. This was a primordial giant. He was so tall it felt like he was a pillar connecting the heaven and earth.

Next, a massive iron devourer grabbed a random fellow that was either an immortal or a devil and snacked on it. While crunching on his victim, he slowly said, “Hurry up. I need to go back to sleep after this. Tiangu, Jiwu, stop causing trouble.”

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

A massive hou appeared and said, “Tiangu, I heard the immortals taste the best. Serve me a few immortal kings and I’ll handle this for you. I’m not scared of the backlash.”

“…”

The massive hou laughed and said, “Tiangu, I had considered eating you during the ancient past, but your old man refused. If you serve me a few of your descendants now, I promise I’ll be friendly in the future.”

“…”

Many Invincibles sank into silence. Countless Sunmoons and Mountainseas trembled with fear. They had somehow provoked a bunch of slumbering ancient experts. Yes. Many of these were the experts who had survived since the ancient past. That massive hou was clearly one of them. He wouldn’t have mentioned Tiangu’s father otherwise.

Every one of the ancient city guardians was also an ancient Invincible.

The big furball called Soy Bun was one. Tiangu was one. The Pseudo Emperor of the iron devourers was probably one as well. The Pseudo Emperor of the primordial giant was likely one.

These existences would rarely appear in public normally. Today, all of them had appeared.

Tiangu had a cold expression. The divines were the ones who had suggested this operation. But now, the immortals seemed to be taking all the blame. Why? Meanwhile, the divines had only received a single staff strike from Heavendoom. After that, everyone seemed to have forgotten about their involvement.

Why? Tiangu couldn’t help but wonder.

The divines were the ones who had suggested attacking the ancient cities. The immortals had merely agreed to the plan. But he couldn’t say that. Was he supposed to tell them to look for Jiwu instead? That would result in an instant fallout between the two races.

With a deep look in his eyes, he looked at the old turtle and said, “Empyrean Cloud is capable of surviving this tribulation. The immortals are willing to take on the entire cost of her recovery from the tribulation.”

The tribulation had been weakened enough that Empyrean Cloud could survive it. There was no longer any danger of dying. The forty-four crimson tokens were quite effective at suppressing the laws.

Before the old turtle could answer, Heavendoom roared again, “I reject! Fuck you! Let’s fight! Let us do battle and shatter the world! Let there be another great collapse!”

“…”

Silence descended.

Heavendoom continued roaring, “Kill! Kill them all! I missed the ancient battle. I have been harboring regret over that all these years. Let’s fight! Fuck them all up! Boss, let’s do it! If you disagree, I’ll kill Little Tiangu!”

Then, he started soaring into the sky again. The old turtle merely stared at him wordlessly. This fellow was indeed too energetic. Since he was rising to the sky…well, that wasn’t a bad thing. He could help with the tribulation since he was already in the sky.

Empyrean Cloud was not the only person who had defied the laws today. Heavendoom had done the same as well. Thus, Heavendoom could take on the tribulation without suffering any backlash. Since Heavendoom was so energetic, this burden should naturally fall on him.

Heavendoom continued roaring like a lunatic.

After a while, he noted that nobody was saying anything. Discouraged, he shouted again, “Fuck! Come on! Someone fight me! Are you scared? Come! Bring it on! Let us fight until the heaven and earth are overturned!”

Slowly, his voice grew softer.

How dull.

Why did nobody accept his challenge?

This was too dull.

Once again, he descended to the ground and turned back into a statue. When he noticed that his short outburst had nearly killed Tian He through death qi erosion, he was left speechless. How useless. It had only been moments. How was this guy dying already?

Piece of trash!

He knew what his boss was thinking. He shouldn’t posture around too much. They had to stick to their duties. They would be the ones punished by the heavens for breaking the laws, not the myriad races. They would be the first to suffer, not the myriad races.

If they were all dead, they wouldn’t even have the satisfaction of witnessing the calamity of the Myriad Realms. His boss clearly wanted to do just enough to show everyone that they couldn’t be provoked lightly. That was all.

However, Heavendoom really wanted to fight it out. Alas, such an opportunity did not arise. If he left again, Tian He would definitely die. And then, he would have to return and suppress the tunnel himself or the seal of the tunnel would break and he would be the next target of the heavenly laws.

As Heavendoom returned to the tunnel unhappily, the death sovereign below him sighed with disappointment. This guy had been shouting so loudly. Why did he not charge out and fight them all? Wouldn’t that satisfy both of them?

Alas, that damn guy had ultimately decided to return.

The death sovereign thought about the pitiful Yanmo. He had been crushed by the old turtle. As a death sovereign, he wouldn’t die so easily. However, his injuries were definitely heavy. And with a bunch of death sovereigns in his territory, he would be in deep trouble. They would most certainly take advantage of his weakness to do something.

After all, death sovereigns relied on devouring each other or expanding their territories to grow. Because of Heavendoom’s outburst, the atmosphere turned stiff. Nobody knew what to do or say.

Right at that moment, a burst of laughter rang out. “Everything started because of me. Perhaps I should offer a solution.”

Everyone looked at Su Yu. Or to be precise, it was Liu Hong.
