Tribulation of Myriad Races

Xing Yue maintained her indifferent expression, but she was greatly enjoying this feeling inwardly. What an odd sensation. So this was how it felt to master the art of persuasion. So she could be a leader as well. Only some lies were needed and these people would all trust her over He Tu.

Xing Yue started wondering if she should lead these people and kill Su Yu instead? But…she found herself slightly unwilling to part with Su Yu anymore.

After all, Su Yu was the one who had allowed her to enjoy this sense of superiority only someone intelligent could feel. She had easily become their leader. This was temporary, but it still felt amazing.

As for He Tu’s feelings, why should she care?

With a sneer, Xing Yue looked into the distance and said, “In that case, let’s start. Kill the immortals.”

“Sure.”

Nine death sovereigns vanished with a flicker.

Only He Tu and Dummy were left behind. Dummy stared at He Tu blankly while He Tu gnashed his teeth in fury. Alas, he had to fit in with the rest of the death sovereigns. Thus, he could only go with them. He didn’t really mind who they wanted to kill first.

He was only annoyed that they were listening to Xing Yue, not him. He was greatly displeased. He felt like he had worked so hard for days just to release a bunch of ungrateful bastards. A certain person had stolen the credit for all his hard work.

Yes. Everyone was crediting Xing Yue for everything. He Tu was in the mansion because of her. He Tu was on the seventh level because of her. Everything was because of her. He was merely a tool.

Rumble!

Frost Divine King’s voice rang out in the Illusory Heaven Mirror, “Things are getting troublesome for the immortals. How interesting. The death spirits have decided to target the immortals first.”

It was clear that Frost Divine King was enjoying this. Who would the death spirits target first? Everyone was taking a gamble that it wouldn’t be them.

Would the death spirits target a specific race? Or would they fight random opponents? It was now clear that the death spirits were targeting the immortals. A large battle had unfolded between the two sides.

Frost Divine King exhaled in relief, but he also felt slightly regretful. He would enjoy seeing the death spirits target the devils more. That was because the devils had the highest number of experts in the mansion.

There were seven devil kings on top of Blood Fire Devil King in the mansion. Everyone should be targeting the devils.

Unfortunately, the death spirits disagreed.

***

The various Invincibles remained in hiding and waited patiently for an opportunity to act.

Meanwhile, the immortal kings were cursing inwardly.

Atop a massive mountain, Immortal King Xuan He roared, “He Tu! Are you trying to make an enemy out of the immortal race?”

He Tu said nothing.

Fuck that!

This wasn’t even his idea. Furthermore, so what if they were enemies?

Tuofa was the one to answer. He roared with laughter and said, “Immortal race? So what? If you’re so strong, why don’t you try invading the Death Realm?”

Yes. The death spirits did not fear them. Would the immortals dare to invade the Death Realm? Who would die in such a scenario? The answer was clear. The immortals could strut around arrogantly in the world of living, but that would not happen in the Death Realm.

Immortal King Xuan He cursed again before fleeing. He had no interest in fighting them. It wasn’t like he could win anyway. He was furious. How unlucky. Why were the immortals so unlucky recently?

Not only had they lost so many people, even the death spirits were targeting them. He had been hoping that the death spirits would start fighting randomly. How could they travel together and target the immortals?

Something was wrong with this. He was suspicious, but he did not have the time to think too much about this. If the death spirits continued going after them, they could forget about the skylotus. Even staying alive would be difficult.

Inside the Illusory Heaven Mirror.

Su Yu waited silently. Frost Divine King was quite lucky. He had been able to remain in hiding without stumbling upon any opponents. In such a situation, Su Yu wouldn’t try anything. It was too dangerous.

Naturally, he wasn’t idling around while waiting. He was still maintaining his communication with Xing Yue. “Lord, get the celestial chasms to attack the divines.”

Before long, a reply came, “I don’t need you to teach me what to do.”

That was her answer. It was short and simple. Su Yu did not mind. He was used to it.

***

Elsewhere.

The celestial chasm Invincible had just regrouped with Heavencurse. Just then, both received a message.

“Kill the divines.”

Ads by PubRev Heavencurse frowned and said, “Brother Spiritvenge, is there a grudge between these death sovereigns and the divines?”

Why would they specify the divines otherwise?

Heavencurse was not an Invincible, but he was addressing the Invincible as a brother. The Invincible did not seem to care as he replied with a smile, “Don’t mind it. You only need to know that we will be the ones to emerge victorious this time. It isn’t a bad idea to remove a challenging competitor ahead of time. The divines, devils, immortals, and humans are the strongest forces in the mansion currently. Additionally, there’s also the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. If we can get rid of all of them, we will win.”

Heavencurse nodded and smiled.

True. They needed to weaken these races.

“In that case, let’s look for a divine Invincible to kill.”

Heavencurse smiled, “We can do it one at a time. This applies to those from the other races as well. It is time to remove those nobodies lest they spoil our plan.”

“Sure.”

Having reached an agreement, they two split up to start their hunt.

***

Inside a massive canyon.

September grinned. Chaos. Chaos was great.

A massive bamboo appeared in his hand. Next, he swung it at a nearby Pseudo Invincible immortal. Now that the immortals were in trouble, the perfect opportunity to kill some immortals had arrived.

September was only targeting the immortals since they were delicious.

The Pseudo Invincible hurriedly fled in alarm. In fact, he even split in two and fled in two different directions. One was his present body while one was his past body. He only wanted to survive, even if he had to sacrifice one body for it.

The bamboo struck the past body and stunned it. Then, September reached out and grabbed the past body. He was excessively strong.

Such was the power of September, second on the Dao Affirmation Ranking.

Only Wan Tiansheng, a madman who had killed two Invincibles ranked above him. Everyone else, including Lan Tian and Endless Passage were ranked below him.

He was able to defeat the past body of a Pseudo Invincible with only a swing of his bamboo. He was probably stronger than even proper Invincibles below the third degree.

Just then, a miserable wail rang out in the distance. A sharp claw stabbed through the escaping future body. Then, Skyeater appeared with a ferocious look in his eyes. But when his gaze landed on September, he smiled and said, “Brother September, let’s share this prey. I killed him myself. I didn’t steal from you.”

September merely flashed Skyeater a silly smile before taking a bite out of the past body. Inwardly, he wondered about the best way to eat Skyeater. Would Skyeater taste better raw or roasted?

How dare Skyeater steal his food? With a flicker, the two ferocious beasts vanished as they went their separate ways in search of more prey.

***

Carnage was unfolding everywhere.

The entire seventh level trembled.

The death spirits were killing. Everyone else was killing as well. An army of death spirits was also spilling out of the death tunnel and flooding into the seventh level. The other death sovereigns were too far away so it would take some time for them to arrive. In any case, there was no guarantee that they were aware of what was happening here.

However, a large number of regular death spirits had arrived. Over ten Pseudo Invincible death spirits were leading tens of thousands of death spirits as they swept through the seventh level. They were planning to take over the entire Luminous Domain Mansion and make it a domain of the dead.

The various minor race experts were dug out of their hiding places and killed. Those from the major races could still rely on the protection of their Invincibles, but that was not a privilege the minor races enjoyed.

They had been hiding everywhere in fear after reaching the seventh level. But with the arrival of the death spirits, they could no longer hide.

***

Outside.

One tunnel after another collapsed.

They were collapsing at an incredibly high rate as the various minor race experts were slaughtered.

This was the fifteenth day.

Over 2,600 tunnels had collapsed so far. More were still collapsing.

Someone sighed and said, “In half a month, only less than a thousand are left.”

Most of the survivors were those from the major races. Those from the minor races had practically been wiped out. The divines, devils, immortals, humans, and dragons made up of roughly nine hundred survivors. All the other races had only around a hundred survivors.

It had only been half a month.

Eventually, the speed with which the tunnels were collapsing started slowing down. Everyone knew that this wasn’t a sign that the slaughter had stopped. It was merely a sign that only the strong and the protected ones remained.

The next time someone died, it would most likely be an Invincible. And it was likely that the death of each Invincible would be accompanied by the deaths of numerous weaklings.
