Tribulation of Myriad Races

Center of Blood Plain.

The dark marsh was not devoid of people. In fact, there were quite a lot of people there.

A lot of people had entered the first level.

Over the years of exploration, everyone had discovered something special about the mansion. Most of the people entering the mansion would already know a little about the place. For example, most people were aware of the locations where the likelihood of obtaining some benefits was higher.

In the center of the marsh was a glossy piece of land. Not a single plant grew there. At the very center of the glossy area was a bubbling spring. A large amount of source qi was leaking out of it.

Every now and then, some treasures would spurt out of the spring. To be precise, these were natural treasures. This place was quite well-known. Thus, quite a lot of people were surrounding the glossy piece of land. However, nobody dared to enter and harvest the spring.

“Are you waiting for the treasures to be delivered to you?” A man with a sharp nose said, “Since you’re already here, why can’t you show some courage and take some risk? This is the Spring of Saints. The Spring of Saints can revive the dead, regrow flesh on bones, and strengthen one’s body.”

“In that case, why aren’t you going, Xiao Li?”

Standing further away was a white tiger in his original form. He shot the sharp-nosed man a glare, daring the man to enter.

Everyone knew that this was a dangerous place. Things might look peaceful here, but this was an incomparably dangerous zone. Upon stepping onto the glossy land, all flight would be prohibited. At the same time, the ground was hot enough to instantly reduce a Skysoar into ashes.

Mountainseas could travel some distance on this piece of land, but most people on the first level were weaklings. Very few of them were the truly strong ones. Both age and talent would be judged when entering the Luminous Domain Mansion.

Most of the younger individuals would be sent to the first level. But due to their age, most of them wouldn’t be too strong either. Very few among the young could actually reach the Mountainsea or Sunmoon Realms. In fact, Mountainseas and Sunmoons were very rare on the first level.

Of course, not everyone was standing around doing nothing. Further away, a human held a leaf in hand. When the leaf landed on the ground, it instantly ignited. However, the leaf remained undamaged.

That caught numerous gazes. That piece of leaf was probably comparable to an earth weapon in durability.

The human race might have declined, but the top human experts had been making war everywhere. Coupled with some of their past ruins, they had still accumulated some decent treasures. They only seemed poor because they didn’t have too many of these treasures. Clearly, humanity had also prepared a lot for this exploration.

The surrounding humans were overjoyed to see the leaf surviving the burning ground. It worked! The humans were not too familiar with the levels beyond the third, but they were still quite familiar with the bottom three levels.

One of them sent a voice transmission, “The prefect was right. The fire here is pupil fire. It can burn everything, but the brightmoon chrysanthemum is capable of suppressing it. Liu Ji, go harvest the Spring of Saints. We will keep an eye on the others.”

This was a group of humans from Great Han. Prior to entering, they had agreed to gather up here.

The humans had made their preparations before entering. The different groups had split the different parts of the mansion among themselves. This was the group that had been assigned this place.

The water of the Spring of Saints was beneficial in body forging, healing, and intelligence boosting. It was a lot more valuable than something like heavenly source fruit. Many would benefit if they could return to the Human Realm with some.

As they discussed, numerous people started eyeing them. Also among the crowd were divines and devils. Their eyes turned frosty. They would not allow the humans to succeed so easily.

Of course, they wouldn’t stop these humans from harvesting the spring. The more important part was leaving with what they harvested. If they couldn’t, all their hard work would benefit someone else.

Liu Ji looked worried as he hesitated. There were only five of them. Meanwhile, they were surrounded by dozens of people. It was clear these people would attack after they were done with the harvest.

As the stalemate persisted, two figures arrived from afar. Su Yu was still maintaining Langtu’s form. He swept his gaze through the area before stopping at the glossy land. He nodded. This was the very center of the eyeball.

Very good.

His guess was right.

As for the spring water gushing out of the ground, that was no tear. Rather, that was known as the pupilwater. Through Su Yu’s senses, he could see that the water of the spring was a sort of treasure. But for him, the celestial devil fruit was better.

As for the people gathered there…he was completely unconcerned about them. This was merely a group of Skysoars with a small number of Cloudbreaches mixed among them. Could they even be considered experts?

As far as Su Yu was concerned, they were the same as a pile of trash. He felt like the sole non-trash surrounded by trash.

He walked straight to the glossy land. Numerous eyes landed on him and Yellow Nine. Without her mask, everyone could see that Yellow Nine was a young human lady. The group of humans was surprised to see her. To be precise, they were surprised to see an unfamiliar human face.

A human and a demonic wolf. What manner of a group was this? They were naturally incapable of seeing through the strength of the two.

Just as someone was about to speak, Su Yu impatiently activated his blood character, sinking everyone into an illusion. A refined and saintly aura rippled out as a book unfurled itself. In a flash, everyone was dragged into the book.

As for the five humans, Su Yu merely knocked them out with a hammer strike. He had nothing to say to these people. It would be a waste of time.

Then, he stepped onto the glossy land. Instantly, black flame surged up and burned his body. He ignored the fire and looked at Yellow Nine, “Come here. Draw the fire and burn your eye. These fools don’t even know the purpose of the pupilfire. They have only been trying to repel the fire. But the harder they try to repel the pupilfire, the stronger it gets. How stupid.”

Yellow Nine asked in astonishment, “Are you telling me to burn my eyes with this fire?”

Was he crazy?

The eyes were the weakest part of a human body. No matter how strong someone was, their eyes would still be weak. And this guy was telling her to burn her eyes with the fire capable of killing Cloudbreaches or even Mountainseas? Was the guy trying to blind her?

Su Yu couldn’t be bothered to explain more. Instead, he drew the fire and sent it into his eyes. First, a sharp pain assaulted him. But next, the fire turned gentle. Ignoring the fire, Su Yu stepped into the gushing spring and allowed it to wash over his eye.

His eye started shining. Behind him, Yellow Nine was completely dumbstruck. Was this really possible?

After a slight hesitation, she stepped forth. Instantly, the fire burned her. Even as a Mountainsea, she found the pain unbearable. She hurriedly followed Su Yu’s lead and drew the fire into her eyes.

“Ahhhhhhh!”

She instantly wailed in pain. Just as she was about to swear, she recalled something and rushed into the spring. Finally, she felt much better.

As the fire burned, she continued washing her eyes. When she looked at the world again, she blanked out. Her eyesight had improved significantly.

She could see further than before. Her eyes also felt stronger. She stared at Su Yu blankly and asked, “The fire and spring here…are they meant to temper one’s eyes?”

While washing his eyes, Su Yu smiled, “What do you think? This mansion was never intended to be a killing machine when it was built. Back then, this place was guarded by countless super experts. What’s the point of some traps capable of killing only Skysoars and Cloudbreaches? Do you think those experts would waste their time creating traps for these weaklings?”

Were the traps really traps?

Were the danger zones really meant to kill?

Nonsense.

The expert capable of building something like this wouldn’t have needed these traps. Rather, all these so-called traps and dangers were meant to train. Not kill.

“Ahhhhhhh!”

Suddenly, Yellow Nine wailed again, “My eyes! My eyes!”

Blood was flowing out of her right eye.

Su Yu said, “This is the left eye spring, not the right eye spring. You only need to follow my actions. Why did you act all smart and deviate? You’re nearly blind. It’s fine. Just endure the pain. There’s a different Blood Plain nearby. You will be fine when we go there later.”

Yellow Nine roared furiously, “You didn’t make it clear!”

Su Yu asked, “Are you blind? Can’t you see for yourself? Also, I’m not obliged to tell you anything. I only reminded you about this out of respect for Teacher Liu. Don’t forget yourself, Yellow Nine. You’re my prisoner.”

Yellow Nine was furious. However, she decided to swallow her anger since she was no match for Su Yu. She was no pushover either. She gritted her teeth and resisted the pain. Despite the pain, she remained silent and drew the fire into her left eye before washing it with the spring water.

The more she washed her eye, the more she understood how beneficial the fire and spring water were.

She said, “Su-Langtu, are you saying that this is supposed to be a human eye? Did the builder build this for the purpose of training those from the younger generations? Are all the danger zones on the first level filled with benefits? For example, your ears might benefit from visiting the Ear Sea. Is that the case?”
