Tribulation of Myriad Races

“Must you target us?”

Xia Longwu had a frosty expression.

Even now, the immortals were still trying to target humanity. Again and again, they were the ones to start trouble for humanity.

In that case…

What was the point of more patience?

“Kill!”

With a roar, a blinding blade appeared in the sky. Xia Longwu had attacked out of nowhere.

At the same time, Qin Zhen’s spear soared into the sky as well. He roared with laughter, “I told you! The immortals are shit-stirrers! They have been doing this for many years. They will always create trouble for the leading race. You need to teach them a good lesson with a good beating. The humans, divines, and devils have been fighting each other for many years while the immortals are the only ones accumulating strength in peace. They must have forgotten how it feels to lose Invincibles.”

That was true. The immortals had always been flaky in their attitude. They would constantly realign their stance and suppress the leading race.

When the divines and devils were strong, they would align toward the humans. Even so, the humans would be the ones forced to fight on the front lines. And the humans had no choice since they were fighting for their survival. And when humanity grew enough to threaten the immortals, it was humanity’s turn to be suppressed.

Rumbling sounds rang out.

Zhu Tianfang and Zhou Polong had attacked as well.

Amazingly Beautiful Places Around the World Open

Zhu Tianfang laughed and said, “Let us fight the immortals to our hearts’ content. We will eliminate the immortals and suffer heavy damages doing so. With that, we won’t be able to fight over the skylotus anymore. This is the best solution. Otherwise, their proposal to withdraw from the competition is bullshit. Do you think they will really give up when they have enough strength to fight for the skylotus? Remember. Don’t get involved in this. We won’t stop until one of us dies off completely.”

After saying that, he manifested twelve characters around him. Instantly, the space around him was frozen. Four human kings against four immortal kings. The humans were making it very clear that they would fight the immortals to the death.

Immortal King Xuan He said, “Don’t trust them! They—”

Boom!

“You talk too much.”

Xia Longwu’s saber arrived. He was a fourth-degree Eternal while Xuan He was a fifth-degree Eternal. There wasn’t that much of a gap between them.

“If anyone dares to get involved, we will target them instead.”

An intense battle between the immortals and humans erupted. All around them, one Invincible after another appeared. They watched the unfolding battle, but nobody said anything.

Since the immortals wanted to do this, they found no harm in letting the immortals fight the humans. The humans had made it clear that they would only target the immortals. Four against four. The weaker party would die.

Saber, spear, and characters flew about in the area. Space collapsed, rumbling sounds erupted, and shockwaves spread everywhere. Some of the nearby death spirits died instantly, spawning even more death spirits in the residence.

In the battle between immortals and humans, Zhu Tianfang was able to suppress his opponent, Xia Longwu was able to fight his opponent equally, Zhou Polong was able to gain a slight advantage, and Qin Zhen…was only aggressive for three moves before he became a punching bag of his opponent.

Thankfully, his years of experience in the army had taught him how to receive a beating bravely. He would return each attack he received with another attack. He might be the one to suffer more damage, but he might not necessarily be the one to lose in terms of endurance.

It felt as though the world around the eight Invincibles was ending. The other Invincibles did not dare to get involved in such an intense battle rashly. But it wasn’t like they wanted to get involved either.

The Heaven Department head sent a voice transmission, “When one party is near defeat, work together to throw them out of the residence. We can’t allow any of them to die here and spawn more death sovereigns.”

The surrounding Invincibles did not object to that. This was something they could do. They were happy to see the immortals and humans fight, but they definitely didn’t want these people to die in the residence. If they must die here, they should die to the Source Return Blade as that was the only way one could die in the residence without spawning more death spirits.

In comparison, the eleven death sovereigns outside were much easier to deal with. Since they were outside the residence, they could be killed without spawning more death spirits.

Inside the Illusory Heaven Mirror.

Su Yu watched in silence as the eight Invincibles fought bitterly. Qin Zhen was being suppressed by his opponent, but Zhu Tianfang was also suppressing his opponent. None of them considered switching opponents. Each of them was trying to be the first to kill their opponent. The moment one was killed, the balance would shift. The party with more Invincibles left would win.

While the immortals and humans were fighting, the divines and devils started sending voice transmissions to each other. Or to be precise, they had sealed the space around them to talk privately among themselves.

“If the humans win, do we kill them?”

“Yes.”

“The question is, when do we act? Do we wait until a few immortals are dead or do we act the moment the humans have the upper hand?”

“We’ll see. At the very least, we need to tire the humans out.”

The young geniuses of the divines and devils who had not sealed their six senses could hear the conversation as well. The Invincibles had spoken openly, as though they were confident all those people had sealed their six senses.

Inside the Illusory Heaven Mirror.

Su Yu was keeping his eyes shut with a grimace on his face, as though he was suffering from the voices in his head. He knew what they were doing. Those Invincibles were deliberately speaking openly to lure him into action.

They had guessed that he was most likely hiding among them. However, they still couldn’t bring themselves to kill all these young geniuses and experts. Thus, they had resorted to an open scheme like this. They were waiting for him to reveal himself.

Sure enough, an Invincible sneered and continued, “The humans sure are unlucky. They have been implicated by Su Yu and Lan Tian. Those two must have enjoyed themselves killing so many people, but so what? All these humans will die here.”

“They are already public enemies. They should have learned to keep a low profile instead of running around provoking everyone.”

The Invincibles talked one after another, acting like they were in a serious discussion. But in truth, they were waiting for Su Yu to take the bait.

At the same time, a weak wave of willpower was inspecting every inch of the Illusory Heaven Mirror.

Su Yu continued acting indifferent. Inwardly, he rippled his death qi lightly.

“Can you rush into the residence? If that’s possible, I need your assistance. You need to rush in during a crucial moment.”

Xing Yue did not reply. Rushing into the residence? She did not mind it, but it was unlikely that the other death sovereigns would follow her lead.

An Invincible said, “The humans are dead. I found them. All of them are hiding inside a character of Zhu Tianfang. We can kill every single human in the mansion by killing these human Eternals. Let’s see if Su Yu and Lan Tian have the courage to reveal themselves and keep us too occupied to do that.”

“Are they that dumb? I believe that Great Ming King has sneaked into the mansion as well.”

“It’s fine. The Blood Fire Devil King is keeping an eye on him. He won’t have the courage to do anything rash.”

“…”

They were making it clear to Su Yu and Lan Tian that revealing themselves was the sole option. As for whether they would die right after appearing, it would be up to their skills. They were important enough to distract all the Invincibles from the other humans.

“Do I look that stupid?”

Su Yu snorted inwardly. He told himself that he wasn’t stupid enough to fall for that.

If all those humans really ended up dying…he only needed to avenge them. He would be stupid to show himself without any guarantee of his own life.

Rather than showing himself, Su Yu was thinking of a way to distract everyone and create an opportunity for the death spirits to harvest the nine-leaf skylotus. He would not show himself before then.

Just then, Xing Yue’s reply came.

“I can enter with the dumb guy. I can also get two other death sovereigns to enter. As for the rest…I have no way of convincing them. These idiots have completely forgotten about their benefactor.”

Xing Yue was very angry! Those ungrateful bastards! When she attempted to contact those death sovereigns, most didn’t even bother to give her a reply. Had they forgotten that she was the one to win them this freedom? Naturally, she had completely forgotten that she wasn’t actually the one to win them this freedom.

Su Yu said, “Sure. But you should stay outside. Let that dumb guy enter. Have him place the Invincible blood essence on a Sunmoon death spirit. Mark it with your aura. I will look for the blood essence myself. Do not hand it to me directly. You only need to get that death spirit to approach Frost Divine King.

“If I do show up, get the celestial chasms to go after me. I might show myself when the nine-leaf skylotus blooms. You only need to prioritize the skylotus. There is a River of Time behind the skylotus. Watch out for that. Remember, the skylotus will bloom nine times. Only one petal will be available per bloom.”

Yes, even when the nine-leaf skylotus was mature, it wouldn’t be fully mature. Only a petal would bloom at a time. It would be complete after nine blooms. It also required nine harvests. Naturally, subsequent harvests would be easier after the first harvest.

Su Yu sank into thought. He wondered if he could snatch one or two petals first. That would allow him to transform his source qi several times before consuming a drop of Invincible blood essence. That would grant him the strength of an Invincible. He could even take the chance to catch one Invincible by surprise and kill them. He was completely ignoring the bait of the divines and devils. They could attack the humans right away if they were really so confident about it.

Xia Longwu and the others were no pushovers. They would most certainly keep their words and switch their focus to anyone daring to interfere with the battle. The divines and devils were very clear about the madness humanity was capable of.

It was very likely that Xia Longwu and the others would spare the immortals and risk death just to kill the ones with the courage to interfere. Was that what the devils and divines wanted?
