Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu stopped worrying about Dummy. Even if he was a human prior to dying, he would become someone similar to He Tu as a death spirit. He would still remember his past, but he would no longer care about humanity.

After consuming the life death fruit, Dummy had recalled more of his past. That was why he had been able to stop Blood Fire Devil King for Great Qin King at the end.

At the moment, Su Yu was more interested in Bai Feng’s discovery. Could this discovery help with his source qi transformation? If it was really Old Zhou’s blood, it would probably be just as good as the skylotus. That was because Old Zhou was simply too strong. The lava on the second level felt like Old Zhou’s burning blood, but that wasn’t blood.

Su Yu was looking forward to the effect of the blood pond. Perhaps that was why Yun Chen had been able to affirm his dao here.

“Teacher, where’s the blood pond?”

“I’ll show you…” Bai Feng said in excitement, “I was just about to use it. Earlier, I had Martial Ancestor Yun Chen use it first. After all, he’s strong enough to survive any negative effects. Since he’s not dead, the blood ponds are probably useful. You guys came just as I was about to use it.”

Yun Chen said nothing. Even now, he had yet to recover from his shock. But he was also staying on guard against Xing Yue. After all, she was a death sovereign. He was the only person here capable of putting up a fight against her.

He couldn’t be bothered to say anything about Bai Feng’s act of using him as a test subject. At the very least, he had benefited from it. In truth, he had never expected to gain any benefits here. The blood here was truly incredible.

They went deeper. After a while, Su Yu arrived at a red pond. There, Bai Feng exclaimed, “This is it!”

The red pond was calm. Blood was slightly bubbling in it. There wasn’t much blood in the pond, but it was emitting a light fragrance.

“Are these blood cells?”

Su Yu couldn’t help but wonder that. Was this the place of blood production? Or was this simply Old Zhou’s blood?

Before he did anything, the little furball jumped out, wrinkled his nose, and said, “So yummy!”

Su Yu glanced at the furball and asked, “You drink blood as well?”

“…”

The little furball argued, “This isn’t blood! This is yummy!”

He did not enjoy drinking blood, but he loved yummy things!

Su Yu was about to step forward when Yun Chen said, “The blood here is too powerful. Even a tiny bit contains a large amount of power. It might fill you to the point of bursting.”

Su Yu smiled. Him? He was going to complete his fifth transformation soon. Filling him to the point of bursting? Was this a joke? That advice was better saved for Bai Feng. Su Yu believed that his fifth transformation would be different. After completing his nine transformations, he wouldn’t be far from the Sunmoon Realm. At that point, he would truly grow into an expert.

Su Yu said nothing and took another step forward. Then, he crouched down and stared at the pond. This so-called pond was more like a bathtub. The blood inside was quite thick. Su Yu dipped his finger in it and immersed himself in the sensation.

Behind, Yun Chen was prepared to drag Su Yu out. But when Yun Chen focused on Su Yu, his eyes changed.

Beside him, Lan Tian smiled, “Don’t be too shocked. This is a little monster. He killed several Invincibles just not long ago.”

“…”

Bai Feng stared at Lan Tian with shock. Was he hearing things?

Seemingly knowing his thoughts, Lan Tian said, “You can choose to seal your senses and pretend not to hear anything. Just earlier, dozens of Invincibles died. This kid killed a few of them. When Great Qin King was on the verge of dying, the kid called a bunch of friends to help. All the survivors you saw earlier were his friends. Little Bai Feng, you’re too weak.”

Bai Feng’s jaw dropped. Su Yu said nonchalantly, “Teacher, ignore him. You’re not that bad. No matter what, you’re an expert researcher. By the way, I only killed three tri-life bodies of three Invincibles. It’s not that big of a deal. Senior Lan Tian, please stop with the exaggeration.”

“…”

Fuck!

Bai Feng had the urge to roar madly. Only three? Only tri-life bodies of Invincibles? Piss off.

He said, “I’m taking this blood pond for myself. Piss off! This is mine!”

At first, he wanted to let his student enjoy this. But he had changed his mind. Nope.

Su Yu laughed, “Teacher, forget about it. You will blow yourself up. Don’t worry, I know what to do. The current blood pond is too powerful for you.”

At that, he took a large bathtub out. Bai Feng stared at Su Yu with surprise. What now?

“This is not a bathtub. It’s a carrier treasure. This is how it looks.”

Su Yu explained. He wasn’t free enough to carry a bathtub around for no reason. Behind, Yun Chen’s jaw dropped. He didn’t even know what to say anymore. Were carrier treasures so common these days?

Next, Su Yu took some solidwater pearls, some other treasures, some Emperor’s Saliva, and some lotus roots out and tossed them into the bathtub. Then, he thought about it and tossed some riversand inside as well.

After a short pause, he ignited his fire of inheritance and forged the bathtub with his five elemental characters. Finally, he took a few drops of blood from the pond and sprinkled them into the bathtub.

Yun Chen was completely dumbfounded. When he looked around, he felt even gloomier as he noticed that he was the only person with such a reaction. Yes. He was alone. There were quite a lot of people around him.

Wu Lan, Wu Qi, Bai Feng, Wu Jia, Lan Tian, Su Yu, and even Xing Yue. But he was the only person who was shocked. The others looked completely accustomed to this. He started comforting himself that these people were too ignorant to know the value of these treasures.

Yun Chen felt like excluding the blood, all these treasures were enough to purchase another carrier treasure.

Just then, Wu Lan said with a frown, “Are you calming the power in the blood? This is unnatural. Riversand is slightly corrosive in nature. It is more useful for purification and extraction. That will further boost the power of the blood. The Emperor’s Saliva can only calm the power of the blood slightly, but this is a waste. Those lotus roots are probably meant for healing. You need more lotus roots here…”

Oh…so they weren’t ignorant.

Yun Chen was dumbstruck.

Su Yu smiled and said, “I know. It’s fine. What’s a little bit of waste? It’s not like you guys are capable of digesting everything here. This is enough for you. Come on. Take a dip. You can all do it together. This will be helpful for body forging and source qi transformation.”

Then, he started chanting.

“This is a breathing technique. Use it while you cultivate.”

He continued chanting.

“This is the 72-Forged Iron Devourer. Complete as many body forgings as you can. If you can’t complete the technique, just aim to complete your nine transformations.”

“…”

The breathing technique and 72-Forged Iron Devourer. Both were incredibly top-end cultivation methods.

“Focus on your bodies for now. There is no rush about your willpower.” Su Yu said, “Alright. All of you can share this. I’ll be giving the pond a try.”

The little bath he had provided for them was quite a waste for the efficacy of the treasures used, but it was sufficient for Bai Feng and the others as they were too weak to withstand the full power of the blood.

Nobody else would be willing to waste these treasures like this. Most of these treasures weren’t even meant for body forging or source qi transformation. But these treasures were nothing for Su Yu. In any case, they were the ones who had discovered the blood pond.

Before long, Su Yu jumped into the pond. Instantly, a powerful burst of power started seeping into his body. His blood character was already near advancement prior to this. After absorbing a tiny bit of blood from the pond, it completed its advancement with a rumble.

A fifth-tier character.

A Sunmoon character.

This was Su Yu’s third fifth-tier character.

The blood continued seeping into his body, attempting to modify it. However, he was already strong enough that the blood couldn’t easily change the structure of his body.

Old Zhou was strong, but this was no blood essence. Su Yu did not entertain the thought of gathering Old Zhou’s blood essence. That might awaken Old Zhou. And doing so would kill him. Secondly, the blood essence of Old Zhou was probably too strong for even his book to absorb.

Thirdly, Old Zhou wasn’t really dead. Consuming Old Zhou’s blood essence might subject him to the same fate of Mo Duona. Old Zhou might gain the ability to take over his body at any time.

Thus, Su Yu only focused on the blood in the pond, nothing else. After a slight hesitation, Bai Feng and the others jumped into the bathtub. The bathtub did not look incredibly big, but when they were in it, it felt quite spacious. Apart from Lan Tian, Yun Chen, and Xing Yue, everyone jumped into the bathtub.

As Su Yu was absorbing the energy in the blood for his source qi transformation, he looked at Lan Tian and said, “Senior Lan Tian, did you lose all your clones?”

“Yeah.” Lan Tian said grudgingly, “This is the only one left.”

Su Yu asked with a look of understanding, “So you still have your main bodies left. How many main bodies do you have?”

“…”

Yun Chen found himself confused. He had thought that Lan Tian was left with only one body, but why was Su Yu asking him about the number of his main bodies? What bullshit dialog was this?

With the same grudging tone, Lan Tian said, “I lost a few main bodies as well. I only have some left.”

“Your main bodies are too weak. You need some Invincible bodies.”

“Invincibles are too strong. It won’t be easy to assimilate them.”

Su Yu shook his head, “Not necessarily. You can drain the blood from the body. The physical strength of the body itself won’t be anything special. We can look around for corpses later. If we find some, I can drain the blood while you can have the bodies. With dozens of them, you might be able to start fighting Invincibles.”

“That makes a lot of sense. Sure, we can do that. But a main body without blood essence is like a body without a soul.”

Su Yu smiled, “You have to take things one step at a time. What’s the rush? By the way, is the principal really not here as well?”

“He’s waiting outside.” Lan Tian answered honestly, “He said that with you in the mansion, disaster will strike and many will die. He will wait outside as backup. Don’t worry. He will make a move when you’re out. He will help you return to your ancient city.”

“The principal has my gratitude.”

Clearly, Wan Tiansheng was waiting outside to provide support when required. But things might have changed by now. It would not be so easy for Wan Tiansheng to provide support anymore.
