Tribulation of Myriad Races

At the moment, Bai Feng and the others were also heading toward the entrance to the sixth level.

Suddenly, a yellowish figure appeared not far away and said, “Hey, are you Su Yu’s teacher?”

Bai Feng frowned.

Five elemental?

He recognized who the speaker was. He coldly asked, “Topsoil Spirit of the five elemental race?”

“It’s me.”

Bai Feng asked, “Yes? Are you here to pick a fight?”

Topsoil Spirit snorted and said, “Nope. I dislike the humans, but I’m quite close to Su Yu. I noticed that a few of you have been ignited by the heart fire. You need to deal with it immediately.”

He tossed a storage ring out and said, “There are a few five elemental fruits here. All of them are of the water element. Eat them to suppress the heart fire. Remind Su Yu to repay me when you meet him.”

“…”

The surrounding experts were stunned.

Even some five elemental geniuses were caught by surprise. One of them sent a furious voice transmission, “Topsoil Spirit, what are you doing?”

Had he gone crazy? Su Yu was now public enemy number one. What was this?

A Sunmoon beside Topsoil Spirit hurriedly explained, “Don’t misunderstand this. Topsoil Spirit has no relationship with Su Yu. In fact, Su Yu once attempted to kill him…”

Noticing the gaze of the immortals, the Sunmoon grew even more anxious as he continued, “That’s a misunderstanding. This is merely a joke…”

However, Topsoil Spirit interupted him with a solemn declaration, “Don’t misunderstand us. I don’t represent the five elemental race. I only represent myself. My fight with Su Yu was merely a regular spar. Since I lost, he has my respect. For me, race does not matter. It does not matter if he’s the public enemy number one. None of you understands the mind of a genius. I dare say that not even Mo Duona and Zhan Wushuang would be too hostile toward Su Yu. As geniuses, we respect the strong.”

He swept his gaze through the crowd and coldly said, “If you find my words unacceptable, feel free to attack me. I might be weak, but I don’t fear you. Do I need your permission to make a friend? What nonsense.”

“…”

Everyone stared at him with surprise. He must have gone mad. Why was he declaring himself Su Yu’s friend in front of so many people? Only someone absolutely tired of living would try something like that.

An immortal Sunmoon coldly said, “Topsoil Spirit, think carefully before you say more. There are things not even a genius can handle. This is the order of the various Emperors. Be careful lest you invite disaster upon yourself.”

Those words of Topsoil Spirit alone would have been enough for them to kill him if it weren’t for the current crisis they were facing.

Topsoil Spirit said nothing.

Inwardly, he was thinking that these people knew nothing. They should worry about leaving the mansion alive instead. If they couldn’t leave alive, they naturally wouldn’t be around to create trouble for him.

He ignored them and sent Bai Feng a voice transmission, “Stop staring at me. I’m not doing this for you. I’m doing this for Su Yu. The fruits are the real deal. They are not poisoned. Among the human race, my only enemy is the guy called Liu Hong. I don’t care about the others.”

“…”

Bai Feng was very surprised. Since when did Su Yu make such a good friend? Topsoil Spirit had actually given them such valuable fruits in public.

Sure, they didn’t need those treasures too much as Yellow Nine had returned with quite a lot of treasures. However, the five elemental fruits were very valuable. In fact, they were so valuable Bai Feng couldn’t even afford to buy one for himself. When he checked the storage ring, he noted that there were five of these fruits in it.

This was quite generous. He looked at Topsoil Spirit with astonishment. Sure, Topsoil Spirit wasn’t too polite, but this was normal for geniuses. For them, everyone except a fellow genius was garbage.

“Thank you.”

Bai Feng started wondering if Su Yu had befriended Topsoil Spirit during their previous fight. This was a logical conclusion to draw. Back then, Su Yu had caused the deaths of numerous Sunmoons in the ancient city. Meanwhile, Topsoil Spirit had survived in the city for an entire month. They could very well be friends. Many people reached the same conclusion.

Someone said, “Back then, Su Yu disguised himself as Topsoil Spirit and challenged Tianduo to a fight. Then, he killed Tianduo and stole Tianduo’s identity. The five elemental race had claimed that Topsoil Spirit was clueless as he had been imprisoned during the entire event. Hehe…it’s now obvious that everything was a lie.”

Topsoil Spirit might really be related to Su Yu. Or to be precise, Topsoil Spirit was definitely the supporting cast in Su Yu’s scheme.

Damn it!

Topsoil Spirit deserved death as well!

The five elemental Sunmoon sent Topsoil Spirit a voice transmission, “Damn it! What…what is this? Damn it!”

The Sunmoons were greatly disappointed in Topsoil Spirit. Even if he was friendly with Su Yu, he shouldn’t have exposed it publicly. Things could get very bad for them.

After leaving the mansion, Topsoil Spirit would be in great trouble even with the support of the five elemental race. They did not object to Topsoil Spirit’s friendship with Su Yu. As far as they were concerned, it would never be a bad thing for a genius to befriend a fellow genius.

But Su Yu was the public enemy number one. It was stupid to reveal their friendship so openly. This could drag the entire five elemental race into countless troubles.

Topsoil Spirit did not bother to explain himself. It was pointless. Excluding the humans present, everyone else would probably die in the mansion. With all of them dead, those outside would naturally remain ignorant about all this. The humans did not matter as the myriad races would never believe them.

If Su Yu really wasn’t in the mansion, he only needed to think of a way to kill all these people before they could leave the mansion. This wasn’t even a big deal. Why worry? His elders were getting more and more cowardly.

These people had gathered quite a lot of treasures in the mansion. It would be very profitable to kill them all. With so many people already dead, those outside wouldn’t suspect anything even if more of them were to die. He ignored the Sunmoons. He did not say more to Bai Feng either. He couldn’t risk making it too obvious that he was trying to fawn over them. There was no need for that.

He only needed to remain indifferent and arrogant. After making such a public declaration, Su Yu would probably think twice before making a move against him, right? After all, he was now the savior of Su Yu’s teacher and friends. He definitely didn’t know that Su Yu was already in the mansion. He was definitely doing this out of sincere friendship.

Before long, they started entering the entrance to the next level. The treasures left on the level no longer mattered. This wasn’t the time to worry about treasures. Surviving was their top priority.

In such a manner, the geniuses and experts started fleeing like refugees. Nobody bothered to try attacking the humans anymore. There were about three hundred humans present. How long would it take to kill these humans?

In any case, many of them were no longer in the mood to fight.

***

Third level.

The group of death spirits behind He Tu had swelled yet again.

Standing in front of the entrance to the fourth level, he frowned, “Dummy, have you been scolding me inwardly?”

Dummy said nothing.

“Was it you?”

He Tu was unsure. Dummy had not been too talkative. For some reason, He Tu could feel countless people talking about him. More importantly, this wasn’t a sensation just anyone could produce in him.

Clearly, the people talking about him were all quite powerful. Their anger was so powerful it had nearly broken through the River of Time itself. He Tu could remember that the last time he felt something like this, he was still alive. At the time, he had invaded the Myriad Realms with his army of death spirits.

What was it this time?

The jittery He Tu shook his head and said, “Whatever. Let’s go to the fourth level. Did some people escape this level? Did they spread the news of my arrival?”

He Tu was unsure. Had they learned of his arrival? That shouldn’t be the case. He had never declared his identity to anyone. Even if there were some survivors, how could they find out about his identity?

Confused, he asked, “Dummy, have I ever told anyone that I’m He Tu?”

“D…don’t know…”

He Tu started doubting himself. He did not remember introducing himself. He only remembered laughing loudly. Again, he shook his head and tossed the matter to the back of his mind. For now, he only needed to climb the levels.

So what if they knew about him? Those outside would still remain clueless. He would wipe everyone in the mansion and nobody would know about it. Before long, He Tu reached the fourth level with his army of death spirits. For some reason, the fourth level was incomparably silent.

He Tu grew even more doubtful. Had they really learned of his arrival? Was he not thorough enough when killing?

“Search carefully. Do not spare a single person.”

Whatever. He only needed to sweep every level clean. Ultimately, everyone would die. The fourth level was not completely devoid of people. However, only a small number of people remained. Most of them were those who were still clueless as they had been searching for treasures alone. And these were He Tu’s main targets.

Su Yu only killed those he encountered. He Tu would deliberately seek out targets to kill. Thus, every level would be completely wiped clean by the time he was done. But this had also given Su Yu the time to do what he needed to do. No matter what, each level was massive. It would take He Tu some time to go through these levels.

Near the entrance, Su Yu quietly recorded the scene of He Tu’s arrival before sneaking away. Then, he entered the fifth level. He Tu had done a good job at cleaning up the levels. Su Yu was quite impressed. He could feel how thick the death qi in the air was becoming.

“Keep working hard, He Tu! Take your time!”

He needed time as well. He was certain there were more treasures waiting for him on the fourth level. Alas, He Tu had not given him much time to search the level properly. He Tu’s speed was increasing. Perhaps that was due to his increased number of subordinates.

“The spine acupoint is definitely here. I might need to spend more time here.”

Right after entering the fifth level, the fire heart started burning him, informing him that this must be where the heart was located. More importantly, he had to locate the spine acupoint and determine its correct operation method.

He would be able to derive the entire grand cycle cultivation method soon. And when that happened, he could start worrying about reaching the ninth-stage Cloudbreach Realm instead of stopping his advancement each time.
