Tribulation of Myriad Races

Marquis Lanshan chuckled and said, “Stop glaring. You’re really ugly right now…”

“Lanshan!”

“Shall I send you off one final time?”

With a perfectly nonchalant tone, Marquis Lanshan asked a question that instantly alarmed Darkmoon Marquis.

Next, Marquis Lanshan’s hand shone. A beam of dark light shot right into Darkmoon Marquis’ head. Her entire body started shaking. A dark figure emerged from her body. With a casual wave of Marquis Lanshan’s arm, that dark figure started cracking. Fear and disbelief covered her eyes.

Had she gone crazy? She was actually attacking to kill! She had truly gone mad! Darkmoon had only allowed Lanshan to approach her because she was confident Lanshan wouldn’t have the courage to kill her in the East Heavenly Palace.

Was Lanshan not going to stay patient anymore? Was Lanshan going to give up on all human death spirits? Why was she attacking for real? Darkmoon Marquis couldn’t believe this was happening, even after it happened.

“See, you’re still so stupid…”

Under Darkmoon, Yusheng was still struggling. Suddenly, he felt the suppression on him weakening. When he looked up, he was met with an alarming sight.

The sight of Marquis Lanshan digging a death imprint out of Darkmoon Marquis’ dao body.

Boom!

First, the death imprint was crushed. Then, it was devoured. Consuming the death imprint instantly healed Marquis Lanshan of her previous injuries. Her movement might seem slow, but she had actually moved rapidly.

With her body blocking the view, nobody could see what was happening to Darkmoon Marquis. They only saw Marquis Lanshan taking something out and Darkmoon Marquis falling into silence.

Just then, Marquis Lanshan’s voice rang out in the ears of her death sovereigns, “Get ready. We will kill a way out and head to the Spirit Suppression Domain. We are…meeting the human lord.”

All the human death sovereigns trembled upon hearing that.

Human lord!

Instantly, Yusheng’s eyes lit up. He received another voice transmission from Marquis Lanshan, “Devour her immediately. Get ready for battle.”

Yusheng answered, “Yes!”

A battle.

How many years had it been since he last heard such an order?

He had been Marquis Lanshan’s vanguard general since before his death. He had died during the endless wars, but Marquis Lanshan had found him again after the conquest. At the time, humanity was the ultimate overlord of the Myriad Realms.

Countless years had passed since he last heard such a command from Marquis Lanshan. Even as a death spirit, Yusheng felt like crying upon hearing that familiar command yet again.

A battle.

Meeting the human lord.

He felt as though he had returned to the time before the conquest. The time when he followed behind Marquis Lanshan and waged wars across the Myriad Realms. He wanted to roar loudly, but he refrained. He started devouring Darkmoon Marquis while Marquis Lanshan started a countdown.

Darkmoon had yet to fully die, but that would happen soon. And a massive phenomenon would be generated.

With her hands still on Darkmoon Marquis’ shoulders, she leaned in, as though she was whispering to Darkmoon Marquis. In truth, Darkmoon Marquis’ body was slowly losing strength.

The surrounding observers continued watching doubtfully. Why were they whispering to each other?

One of them laughed and said, “Lanshan, Darkmoon, calm down. We’re all friends here. Darkmoon, release them…”

But Darkmoon Marquis did not reply. At that point, the various marquises were starting to grow suspicious. Why was Darkmoon so silent?

Suddenly, one of them roared, “Yusheng! What are you doing?”

He sensed Yusheng’s aura growing, as though Yusheng was consuming something.

Right at that moment, the world shook.

Boom!

“Kill!”

At that exact moment, Marquis Lanshan drew her sword and attacked.

Three of the death sovereigns under Darkmoon Marquis were killed by that strike. At the same time, the death sovereigns under Marquis Lanshan attacked as well. Massive rumbles rang out. All the death sovereigns under Darkmoon Marquis were killed before they could react.

Their death imprints were snatched. Then, the death sovereigns under Marquis Lanshan started devouring the death imprints. As his aura surged, Yusheng stood up and roared, “Kill! Lanshan Army, charge with me!”

Boom!

Finally, the surrounding marquises moved.

Darkmoon Marquis had died.

“Impudent!”

“Audacious!”

“Kill them!”

Numerous death spirits roared in fury. Meanwhile, Marquis Lanshan was charging outward with his subordinates. Her sword swept everywhere as she ran. It felt as though the sky would split open with each swing of her sword.

Not far away, a crowned expert appeared above East King Hall. He coldly said, “Lanshan! How audacious of you! Marquis Lanshan has betrayed us! Generals of East Heavenly Palace, kill them all!”

“Yes!”

Numerous death sovereigns and marquises answered. An intense battle erupted.

After killing about seven or eight death sovereigns, Marquis Lanshan’s group was finally out of the palace. Her voice rang out, “Human death spirits, charge! Charge out of East Heavenly Palace! The East Heavenly King has betrayed humanity! For coveting the authority of the imperial court, he deserves death!”

The world itself shook at those words.

East Heavenly King’s expression changed.

Betrayal?

Lanshan was claiming that he was a traitor?

Marquis Lanshan continued roaring, “East Heavenly King, you were appointed a king by humanity, but due to your greed, you broke faith and turned against your benefactors! You will not be spared!”

Furious roars resounded everywhere.

Boom!

With a swing of her sword, she pushed a marquis back.

Behind her, Yusheng roared, “I am the vanguard! Lord, allow me to open the path for you!”

Then, Yusheng charged forward and swung a massive axe down.

Boom!

Instantly, several death spirits ahead of them were killed.

With her sword in hand, Marquis Lanshan fought alongside her soldiers, just as how things were back during the conquest. After deflecting the attacks of two marquises, they charged further ahead.

At the same time, over a thousand death spirits charged the death spirits of the palace and caught them by surprise. These were also the subordinates of Marquis Lanshan. The leader of the group was a female death spirit. Her voice rang out, “Charge with me! We shall open a path for our lord!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

Chaos descended.

With a cold expression, the East Heavenly King strode forward. Suddenly, a death sovereign charged at him. That was a subordinate of Marquis Lanshan.

“Fool.”

With a snort, the East Heavenly King froze the charging death sovereign before saying, “All traitorous bastards deserve death.”

“Are you talking about yourself?”

The frozen death sovereign roared with laughter before detonating himself. Before his death, he yelled, “Lanshan Army, open a path for our lord! I shall go to the afterlife in advance!”

“General!”

Mournful wails rang out as the battle grew even more intense.

Rumble!

After cutting a death sovereign down with his axe, Yusheng glanced at the exploding death sovereign. Instantly, his eyes turned red from anger. That was an old comrade of his. Someone who had fought alongside him since the conquest.

And now, that old comrade of his had ceased to exist. There was no returning from dying as a death spirit.

“Die!”

In his anger, he ignited his very being, pushing his strength to an even higher level. With a swing of his axe, he sent even a marquis flying. Ignoring the shocked marquis, Yusheng continued igniting his death imprint and said, “Lord! Go!”

“Kill!”

After devouring Darkmoon Marquis, Yusheng had grown to a ninth-degree Eternal. Coupled with the ignition of his death imprint, he had gained a tremendous boost in strength. With a swing of his axe, he sent yet another marquis flying away.

Not far ahead, Marquis Lanshan continued pushing forth while swinging her sword around. She had to kill a path out and find the human lord.

Boom!

After killing yet another death sovereign, she continued stepping forth. However, a marquis arrived and blocked her advance. The marquis wanted to say something, but he wasn’t given the chance. Marquis Lanshan had attacked directly. There was no point in speaking when they were already fighting.

Her sword was swung.

A sword and a hammer collided, creating a massive explosion. With her rich combat experience, Marquis Lanshan pulled back the moment her sword was blocked to redirect the hammer sideway. Then, she stabbed her sword out again with a twist of her body, piercing through the head of the marquis blocking her way.

Despite the intense battle, she was incomparably calm. Victory was impossible here. There was no way she would win against eight marquises and a heavenly king. Thus, breaking out was her sole option. She had to kill her way out. That was also the mission she had received from the human lord. The human lord was waiting for them at the Spirit Suppression Domain.

Suddenly, numerous chains appeared around her. But before the chains could reach her, a death sovereign jumped over and took on the chains for her instead. The moment the chains wrapped around the death sovereign, they started burning, causing the death sovereign to wail in pain.

Marquis Lanshan did not stop. She didn’t even look back. She couldn’t afford to. Back then, this was how these people had fought to the death for her. Today, history was repeating itself. During the ancient past, she had failed to break free and died. Today, she did not want to fail again. She really wanted to meet the current human lord at least once.

Boom!

With a swing of her sword, she pushed a marquis back. With another swing, she killed a death sovereign. She continued fighting while fleeing. After some time, she finally regrouped with the army of human death spirits fighting further away from the palace. Earlier, there were over a thousand of them. But now, only a few hundred remained.

The heavily injured female death spirit leading the army was overjoyed to see Marquis Lanshan. She roared, “Charge! Open a path! Kill!”

“Yes!”

The female general roared, “Who dominates the Myriad Realms?”

“Humans!”

Hundreds of soldiers answered in unison.

“Who can never be defeated?”

“Humans!”

“A myriad races strive for supremacy! Who can contend against us?”

“No one!”

“Kill!”
