Tribulation of Myriad Races

“Everyone wants me dead!”

Su Yu continued grumbling to himself. It felt as though the malice of all these people was turning corporeal, slowly forming an encircling around him. They might as well shout loudly that they knew he was here.

At the peak fourth-tier, the tribulation character was amazingly sharp. However, it was still not good enough to pinpoint the source of any potential danger. It would be great if he could grow the tribulation character to a level where it could detect the source of danger as well.

He wondered if it would gain such an ability at the fifth tier. That would be an extremely convenient ability to have. He would not need to rack his brain so much anymore. He longed to be someone who could live without using his brain. He once heard that using one’s brain too much would accelerate the aging process.

“There are too many Invincibles here. I don’t have the ability to face any of them. My unknown whereabouts is my sole advantage over them. I am far from properly defeating an Invincible. Here, I won’t receive the help of any stone statues. Xing Yue is the only person I can rely on, but I don’t know if she will be willing to help me.”

In the end, nobody could be more reliable than himself. Unfortunately, he was not strong enough to solve this issue himself. In that case, he had to try entering the Devote King’s residence and rely on the death spirits. Since he didn’t have enough strength, he had to borrow the strength of others.

“If I could consume the nine-leaf skylotus, I might be able to grow enough to put up a fight against Invincibles.”

Yes. The nine-leaf skylotus was his sole option to turn this situation around. He had to first snatch the skylotus before facing his enemies. That was a straightforward goal.

“Thus, I have to remain calm even if more people were to die. I can only expose myself right before snatching the treasure.”

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the air.

“Hahaha! I’m back!”

While roaring with laughter, He Tu charged out of the entrance and spread his death qi everywhere. Seven Invincibles attacked together. Su Yu saw several familiar faces, such as the golden-masked Heaven Department head and the spear-wielding Qin Zhen.

Speaking of, why did Qin Zhen look so energetic? After a while, Su Yu noted that Frost Divine King did not participate in the battle. Rather, the divine king was observing the battle from afar.

Su Yu was quite surprised by what he saw. He Tu seemed incredibly strong, to the point all his opponents were forced to retreat. The other death sovereign was doing very well as well. Not even the Heaven Department head could face them. The Invincibles were only maintaining their slight advantage through their numerical superiority. Were they really so weak?

Su Yu was feeling quite doubtful. Were all seventh-degree Eternals not equal? If that were the case, it would be understandable for the Heaven Department head to be weaker than the two death sovereigns. It was hard for Su Yu to say since this wasn’t a cultivation level he understood.

But…where were the Rivers of Time? Why did it feel like they weren’t even trying? Or perhaps it was pointless to open the River of Time when fighting Invincibles since everyone could do the same?

Numerous ideas emerged in Su Yu’s mind.

Eventually, he thought of something. He discovered that even Xia Longwu, an incredibly ferocious fighter, was taking it slow when fighting the two death sovereigns. It was obvious. Xia Longwu was the Carnage King, someone feared by the myriad races. Someone like him was staying behind Qin Zhen, throwing a saber attack forth casually every now and then.

“They are all holding back!”

Understanding dawned on Su Yu. He was rendered speechless.

Fuck!

Su Yu finally understood why He Tu was able to retreat safely so many times. So these bastard Invincibles were all pulling their punches. They might be making a big deal out of this, but only those below the Invincible Realm were truly worried about He Tu. Meanwhile, these old foxes were all scheming against each other.

“Sure enough, one will need a lot of courage to reach the Invincible Realm. Even death spirits are nothing in their eyes.”

Su Yu observed those around him. Even when they were witnessing the battle inside the heaven weapon, they all looked incredibly amazed and alarmed.

Su Yu was completely unimpressed. With their numerical superiority and someone who was absolutely stronger than the two death sovereigns, they were making He Tu seem a lot more impressive than he was. He Tu was able to fight five Invincibles alone.

What nonsense.

Ultimately, death spirits were dead. They had forgotten a lot of things. Yes, death qi was strong. But there was no doubt that a death spirit would be weaker compared to a living being in the same cultivation level.

Even so, He Tu was somehow handling so many Invincibles without much trouble. Just look at He Tu. Just look at how he was roaring in excitement. Sure enough, death spirits were dumb.

Well, there was no helping it. One shouldn’t expect someone dead to have a brain.

While roaring with laughter, He Tu said, “Hahaha! Garbage! The seventh level is my turf! Don’t even dream of stopping me here!”

“…”

Su Yu continued watching in silence as the Invincibles pretended to have a hard time against He Tu.

Su Yu could sense the death tunnel in Devote King’s residence shaking. He could also sense the death qi leaking out of the death tunnel. Sure enough, He Tu had managed to displace the saber in charge of suppressing the death tunnel.

It was likely that He Tu could still control that weapon slightly. However, he wouldn’t be able to do anything if the Invincibles hadn’t allowed him to enter the seventh level.

“So powerful!”

“These death spirits are too strong! At this rate, we might lose the seventh level to them!”

“…”

The divines around Su Yu were still worrying about the death spirits.

Just then, someone appeared before them with a flicker. It was Zhan Wushuang. He glanced outside and said, “Don’t worry. Even if He Tu were to succeed, there are many Invincibles here. Don’t forget that.”

“But…”

“Don’t worry.” Zhan Wushuang continued, “Just stay here. It will be fine. The treasures are no longer that important. We only need to wait for the fight over the skylotus to settle down before leaving.”

He looked at the others and warned, “Don’t run around. Stay still. I don’t care what you have in mind, but remember that there are numerous Invincibles out there. Don’t do anything you will regret.”

Like the other divines, Su Yu looked at Zhan Wushuang with a look of admiration. Inwardly, he was wondering if these words were actually meant for him. Was Zhan Wushuang suspecting that he was here?

Then again, it didn’t matter. It wasn’t like Zhan Wushuang would lose anything by saying these words.

Yu Sheng came over and coldly said, “You are free to observe the battle outside, but stay still. Do you understand?”

“Yes.” Su Yu gave the same answer before asking, “Lord, what is that whirlpool up there? Is that the exit? Should we leave through the whirlpool in the event of danger?”

Yu Sheng looked at Su Yu with contempt. But he knew the owner of the identity Su Yu had stolen. Thus, he still gave an answer, “You can only leave with us. This is a precaution against anything unexpected.”

That was not really an answer. But there was no need for him to give an answer. He was essentially warning them to be obedient if they wanted to live. The whirlpool was naturally not the true exit.

Just then, Yu Sheng’s gaze instinctively stopped at a certain spot momentarily. Su Yu did not even look over, but he knew that Yu Sheng was looking at a pavilion. Was that the real exit?

Then again, he had to be careful lest this be a trap as well. As a Pseudo Invincible, Yu Sheng was probably not that brainless. Even if he didn’t suspect Su Yu, he wouldn’t do something so obvious.

Su Yu did not mind. He never intended to leave through the proper exit. That would be too dangerous as the Invincible could be waiting at the other side.

Like the other Mountainseas, he continued observing the battle outside. After a while, he stopped as the battle was too fast for him to follow properly. He found an empty spot and sat down cross-legged before blanking out. He looked like he was worrying about his future.

Just then, Zhan Wushuang approached him and sat down. With a smile, Zhan Wushuang said, “Yun Hao, are you thinking of leaving?”

Su Yu hurriedly stood up and greeted, “Prince Wushuang!”

“Be at ease.” Zhan Wushuang asked gently, “Are you thinking of leaving?”

Su Yu sighed and said, “To be precise, I wish to go back. So many people have died. I’m scared. You might look down on me for this, but I only want to return alive. Nothing else. None of those treasures matter anymore. There were over six hundred of us in the beginning. Less than a third of us are left.”

Zhan Wushuang nodded and sighed, “Yeah. A ruthless scoundrel is in the mansion. That is only expected.”

Su Yu nodded, “Yeah, the death spirits are cruel. These people have all died once. Why are they still cruel? Can’t the Myriad Realms deal with them?”

Zhan Wushuang glanced at Su Yu and said, “There will be a way. Rest well.”

“Prince…I’m scared. Can we talk more?”

Su Yu flashed Zhan Wushuang his most earnest expression, the expression of a nobody who had finally found a chance to talk with someone important. But Zhan Wushuang was already losing interest.

Was this not Su Yu? He must have been too paranoid. Everyone looked like Su Yu in disguise for him.

Whatever.

Then, he moved to a different person and started chatting with that person.

Inwardly, Su Yu started cursing. What game was this guy playing? Yes, Zhan Wushuang was a lot older than him. But compared to him, Zhan Wushuang was akin to a baby in terms of scheming. These people had been raised too well by their seniors. They had not experienced the cruelty of the world enough. Su Yu thought that he was different. He had been a schemer since young.

At that, he suddenly recalled Chen Hao, his childhood friend. He was starting to miss Chen Hao.

Sigh.

He didn’t recall seeing Chen Hao in the mansion. What a pity…no, it was no pity at all. It would be much safer for Chen Hao to stay away from the mansion this time around. How strong was Chen Hao now? Did he manage to enter the Martial Dragon Guard? Or did he further his studies in the Martial Dragon War Academy?

Previously, Su Yu heard that Chen Hao was already a Skysoar. However, he had not opened too many acupoints before making his breakthrough. Thus, he became a relatively weak Skysoar. Su Yu couldn’t help but wonder if Great Xia would take him into consideration and give Chen Hao some help out of respect for him.

In truth, Su Yu found it boring to scheme or even compete against these so-called young geniuses. They were all too innocent. They had been protected too well while growing up. They had been provided with whatever they wanted since their childhood. In such an environment, there was no need for them to use their wits too much.

They only needed to focus on their strength. They only needed to grow as strong as possible. The true schemers were the old fossils. But that was a result of experience, not true cunning. Comparatively, those from the minor and human races were much more cunning. Why? Because they had to make up for their lack of strength with their wits.

In truth, Su Yu envied the young geniuses who could live without using their brains.
