Tribulation of Myriad Races

Generally, there was only a fine line between a genius and a lunatic. Su Yu was both a genius and a lunatic. This was what Mo Duona needed at the moment.

He smiled at the group of immortals and said, “The gate is shut.”

Xuan Wuji and the others frowned. What?

With a casual smile on his face, Mo Duona walked to the end of the hall and sat down on the throne. With his arms resting on the armrests, he said, “The defenses of this hall only work toward those from the outside, not inside. The switch is here on the armrest. It can open and shut the gate. This is the Martial Hall of the Devote King. Without a switch, even Daofuses might have a hard time breaking through the gate.”

Once again, the immortals frowned. Xuan Wuji forced himself to smile and said, “Brother Mo Duona, the immortals and devils are not major enemies. If Pan Hu has done something wrong, let us know. If he’s really at fault, we can talk about this…”

Mo Duona laughed and said, “He did nothing wrong.”

Xuan Wuji frowned. He looked at Mo Duona in confusion. Was Mo Duona thinking of killing them? What a joke. They had the numerical superiority here.

Atop the throne, Mo Duona said, “Lord Zhankui.”

A dark shadow appeared. In front of Xuan Wuji, a white figure appeared as well. That was Xuan Wuji’s dao protector.

The white figure said indifferently, “It has been a while, Brother Zhankui.”

The dark shadow said, “Yang Hu, you’re not my match.”

The shadow was very strong. At the very least, he was stronger than Yang Hu.

However, Yang Hu was not worried. Numerous ninth-stage Sunmoons stepped forth and stood beside him. He said, “Youngsters are always too hot-headed. We were once young as well. As a dao protector, you should teach by words and example. You shouldn’t obey Mo Duona blindly. We are not here to force you into doing anything. We only wish to clarify the truth.”

Before the dark shadow could say anything, Mo Duona’s indifferent voice rang out, “The truth is simple. I wish to kill. If you kill me, you can open the gate and leave. No other reason is needed. If you can’t kill me, you die here. This place is sealed. Not even Invincibles can enter. Don’t worry.”

Xuan Wuji couldn’t understand this. He was left quite speechless. How did this escalate into a fight to the death?

With a frown, Yang Hu’s aura started rising. He coldly said, “Mo Duona, do you know that many geniuses have died due to their arrogance? You might be talented, but you’re still a Mountainsea.”

Mo Duona ignored Yang Hu and looked at Zhankui, “What are you waiting for, Lord?”

Zhankui frowned. Once again, Mo Duona spoke, “If you don’t want to fight, kill me and open the gate.”

“…”

Zhankui was feeling terrible as well. Damn t! What now? It wasn’t like they were facing pushovers. Was this a joke? He was only slightly stronger than Yang Hu. It did not mean that he could defeat Yang Hu and all these people together.

Just as he was hesitating, Yang Hu sent a voice transmission, “Mo Duona is too domineering. Zhankui, just follow his wish and pretend to fight. We can get the others to control him and open the gate before leaving.”

Yang Hu was left quite speechless as well. He had no choice but to put up a show for Mo Duona. He still didn’t want to kill Mo Duona. Now that he was busy with Zhankui, any random ninth-stage Sunmoon would be able to keep Mo Duona under control. That would give them the opening to open the gate and leave.

Yang Hu no longer wanted to waste any time on this lunatic.

Zhankui found that perfectly reasonable. This was agreeable for him.

He said, “As you wish, Prince.”

Then, the two Pseudo Invincibles ripped an opening in the air and entered the void. They did not leave the hall. Rather, they remained inside an alternate dimension in the hall to do battle.

At the same time, Yang Hu’s voice rang out in the ears of the immortals, “Deal with Mo Duona. You are allowed to seriously injure him, but not kill him. Find a chance to open the gate and leave.”

He had concluded that Mo Duona had gone mad. It was pointless to waste his time on a madman like this. If they were to kill him, Zhankui would most certainly go crazy. After leaving the mansion, the Devil Pseudo Emperor would also go after them. This was simply not worth it.

Xuan Wuji was left very speechless. He glanced at the ninth-stage Sunmoons before focusing on Taihe. Taihe’s group was the source of this trouble. He should take some initiative here.

Taihe did not bother saying anything. He stepped forth and started walking toward Mo Duona. Why was a mere first-stage Mountainsea like this getting so confident? If it wasn’t for the Devil Pseudo Emperor and Zhankui, he would have slapped Mo Duona to death for this.

Taihe snorted inwardly as he focused on the two shining balls in Mo Duona’s hand. This wasn’t a bad idea. He could take this chance to save Pan Hu as well. In a way, this was the perfect method to achieve their goal here.

As he walked, he lectured, “Mo Duona, you’re still too young. A youngster should learn some humility. Do not learn from Su Yu. He is now the public enemy of the myriad races. You are a genius, but you don’t enjoy any advantages over Su Yu. Yet even Su Yu can only hide inside his ancient city.”

Su Yu was very satisfied with that speech. Or to be precise, he was satisfied with the first half of the speech. The rest was bullshit. How was he hiding in his ancient city? Su Yu was very curious about how Mo Duona would handle this. Could Mo Duona deal with ninth-stage Sunmoons? If he couldn’t…well, Su Yu wouldn’t mind leaving just like this.

Just then, Mo Duona sighed and said, “If I fail here, I won’t be able to rid myself of him after leaving the mansion anymore.”

He was still speaking to Su Yu. Under everyone’s confused gazes, he took out a drop of golden blood, smiled, and swallowed it. First, Taihe blanked out. But next, a look of overwhelming fear covered his face.

“Devil Pseudo Emperor’s blood essence!”

Was this guy crazy? He was only a first-stage Mountainsea! How could he swallow the blood essence of the Devil Pseudo Emperor?

No matter how strong Mo Duona’s body was, it was still weaker than Su Yu’s. And not even Su Yu had the courage to consume the blood essence of a Pseudo Emperor. The alarmed Taihe hurriedly reached out to grab Mo Duona.

Mo Duona remained perfectly calm, as though nothing was affecting him. As his aura started surging, he sighed and said, “Yeah. The blood essence of the Devil Pseudo Emperor, the blood of the same line. It is only natural that I can withstand a higher level of pressure since my body is his future body.”

The same concept applied to how Liu Wenyan had inherited Ye Batian’s characters as a mere Mental Tempering Stage cultivator.

The Devil Pseudo Emperor had been altering Mo Duona’s body all along to ensure compatibility in the future. Mo Duona had been resisting, forcing the Devil Pseudo Emperor to take it slow. However, consuming this drop of blood essence would destroy any chance Mo Duona have at resisting. With the blood essence, his compatibility with the Devil Pseudo Emperor would increase sharply, allowing the Devil Pseudo Emperor to take over his body at any time.

He was betting everything on this endeavor. If his partnership with Su Yu failed to bear fruit, he would need to consider cooperating with the Blood Fire Devil King and lure the Devil Pseudo Emperor somewhere to be killed. That was a risky endeavor, but so was his current endeavor with Su Yu.

He was not reconciled to allow someone else to control him. His life was his. He shall regain control over his destiny. A determined look covered Mo Duona’s eyes. His aura surged to a terrifying level. With a roar, he threw a punch. A punch capable of punching through reality itself.

Boom!

Taihe was sent flying while coughing blood. His entire arm had been blasted apart by that punch.

Taihe was alarmed. He was no longer underestimating Mo Duona. In his desperation, he roared, “Kill him! Now! He has gone mad!”

Mo Duona had consumed the blood essence of the Devil Pseudo Emperor.

Even the two Pseudo Invincibles were caught by surprise. Sensing the surging power within his body, Mo Duona looked up and smiled, “Zhankui, kill him or I’ll kill Xuan Wuji and the others. Yang Hu, if you don’t mind the deaths of Xuan Wuji and the others, feel free to keep up the act.”

“…”

Zhankui cursed. Since Mo Duona had consumed even the blood essence of the Devil Pseudo Emperor, it was clear he was going all out here.

While Zhankui was still deep in thought, Yang Hu lost patience and roared, “Kill! Kill Mo Duona! Now!”

Fuck! They were being serious here!

Boom!

Three ninth-stage Sunmoons charged Mo Duona. Seeing that the others were going to join in as well, Zhankui released his tri-life body. He faced Yang Hu with one body and charged the ninth-stage Sunmoons with his second body.

His present body was as strong as Yang Hu. Thus, that would be sufficient to keep Yang Hu busy. He was furious. Mo Duona had gone mad. Even so, he couldn’t allow Mo Duona to die. Mo Duona merely roared with laughter.

With his hair fluttering about, he said, “That’s more like it!”

Boom!

He threw another punch out. With a rumble, a hundred fists appeared in the air before merging into one. Once again, Taihe was struck. His injuries worsened as he retreated while coughing blood.

The other Sunmoons charged forth. Three ninth-stage Sunmoons and one eighth-stage Sunmoon faced Mo Duona together. Up above, the two Pseudo Invincibles fought. Not far away, Zhankui’s past body faced three ninth-stage Sunmoons alone.
