Tribulation of Myriad Races

At the same time.

Fate Pseudo Emperor’s eyes turned cold as he said, “Abyss Marquis, get out of here and remove the barrier. Or else…”

Everyone ignored him as he rambled on and on.

After a while, Fate Pseudo Emperor frowned and said with a sneer, “So be it. Since the myriad races distrust me so, forget it.”

He started heading toward the center of the realm while saying, “Everyone, pull back. Have Abyss Marquis guard the place himself. Since he distrusts us so much, we will stay completely idle. The humans know he’s here as well. We’ll see how things go for him without us.”

Endless Passage and the fate Invincibles frowned. One of them hurriedly said, “Patriarch, are we really letting go of our control over the realm entrance?”

“Yes.” Fate Pseudo Emperor coldly said, “It’s pointless to keep it since they will keep monitoring us like we’re thieves. We might as well let go of it. When humanity attacks, Abyss Marquis can handle it himself.”

Finally, Abyss Marquis appeared again. With a smile, he said, “You misunderstand me, Brother Fateless.”

Fate Pseudo Emperor shot him an indifferent gaze and said, “For nine epochs, the fate race has remained neutral. But in this epoch, you are still treating us like enemies. In the previous epoch, Hundred Battle King tried to recruit me multiple times. I refused each time. Even our Heavenly Fate Marquis descended personally to handle Hundred Battle King. Don’t push it, Abyss. Do you think the myriad races will let the celestial chasms replace us after you force us to stand with the humans?”

Abyss Marquis smiled and said, “This is all a misunderstanding.”

“Have fun guarding the entrance yourself.” Fate Pseudo Emperor said, “I don’t intend to let my people become your chess pieces. Let’s go.”

Some of the fate race experts were unwilling to give up on their control over the entrance, but they had no choice since the order had been given. They could only leave with resignation.

Abyss Marquis did not stop them. He watched on in silence as they left.

Shortly after, Fallen Star Marquis and Devilroil Marquis appeared. They asked with surprise, “Is he really gone? Is he giving up on the entrance so easily?”

The fate race had always maintained control over their realm entrance.

They had never been willing to let go of control over their own territory. In fact, they had also been against the placement of myriad race experts in their realm. Thus, this was quite surprising.

Fallen Star Marquis frowned and said, “Did he see something dangerous earlier? Did he actually see anything through the Heavenglimpse Eye earlier?”

After thinking about it, Devilroil Marquis said, “So what if he saw something dangerous? It’s not a bad thing for us to gain control over this entrance. The humans are still unaware of our presence here.

“If the fate race still has control over the entrance, things might get dangerous for us when humanity invades. Fateless could easily stop us from leaving. Don’t forget that we are not immune to the suppressive force here.

“But with the entrance under our control, we can always fight outside when humanity arrives. With Abyss on our side, we can handle even that old turtle and Great Zhou King. Even if the humans attack with everything they have, we only need to last a short time for Tiangu and the others to arrive.”

Fallen Star Marquis thought about it and nodded in agreement. That was true. Perhaps Fateless had really seen something dangerous, resulting in his withdrawal. But it didn’t matter. For them, gaining control over the realm entrance would also be a good opportunity to keep the fate race in check.

“Yes, this is good for us. But stay on alert.” Fallen Star Marquis said, “Fateless is good at using the Heavenglimpse Eye. He might have really seen something dangerous. We need to be careful.”

“Of course. We won’t be careless with our own lives.”

Both Devilroil Marquis and Abyss Marquis were smiling. They didn’t mind the withdrawal of the fate race. In fact, they had been trying to claim control over this place for quite a while. In all the previous epochs, the fate race had never been willing to relinquish its control.

“Fateless is injured. I doubt he will try anything.”

Devilroil Marquis laughed and said, “Perhaps he deliberately injured himself to avoid participating in the coming battle.”

“That’s normal.”

Fallen Star Marquis wasn’t surprised. That was a good method to avoid joining the battle. The three did not bother to leave. They started staying right in front of the entrance. For them, the realm entrance was even more important than the entrance to the Upper Realm.

By controlling this place, they would be able to monitor all movement and communication between the fate race and the outside world.

“Three experts, two stronger than Abyss Marquis.”

Abyss Marquis was an ancient marquis. According to Su Yu’s personal grading system, Abyss Marquis should be in the same tier as him.

Heavenly kings were ranked in the first tier, the old turtle and Tiangu were ranked in the second tier, Great Qin King and the others were ranked in the third tier, and he himself was ranked in the fourth tier.

As for Abyss Marquis, he was probably slightly stronger than someone in the tier four. Two stronger experts…were they third-tier experts? In that case, they were probably stronger than even the Pseudo Emperors of the ancient races.

“Two newcomers?”

Su Yu’s eyes flickered. Previously, he only intended to attack the Fate Realm to lure some experts out of their realms. But since there were three big fish here, well, it would be rude for him not to accept the gift.

He could catch them by complete surprise. They were unaware that he already knew about them. Thus, they would probably be happy to see him arriving with his allies.

“If I were Tiangu, would I come to help after seeing that? No. They know that the three experts here are strong enough and we won’t be able to do much anytime soon. They might as well take the opportunity to attack the realms of the ancient races or even the Human Realm.

“Through that, they can deal heavy damage to these races and force us to retreat without any results. If Great Zhou King can keep one of them busy, we need at least six or seven Daofuses to instantly kill the other two.”

Numerous thoughts emerged in Su Yu’s mind. Previously, he did not plan to kill Abyss Marquis. Killing only one Daofuse wouldn’t do much for him.

Furthermore, Abyss Marquis was from a branch race of the fate race. He did not suffer from the suppressive force there, making him harder to kill. Su Yu did not intend to fight inside the realm. However, the other two weren’t from the fate race. They would definitely fight outside the realm.

Otherwise, Su Yu could always fight them inside with Great Zhou King and kill them while they were suppressed.

At that thought, Su Yu issued an order, “Great Qin King, Great Xia King, Book Spirit, and Tea Plant. Gather up with Great Zhou King.”

He needed Great Zhou King to teleport them over immediately. The five could join hands to instantly kill a Daofuse. These people might be strong enough to contend against Great Zhou King, but that did not mean that they could handle the attack of five peak experts.

June and the others could deal with the other Daofuse. They would launch a surprise attack and kill before anyone could react. This would expose both Great Qin King and Great Xia King, but so be it. These were peak Daofuses. Su Yu loved killing peak Daofuses.

“September can stay behind and watch over the Iron Devourer Realm. But the Hou and Spatial Beast Realms need protection as well.”

The probability of Tiangu and the others attacking these realms was low, but he still had to be careful. Humanity could not lose the confidence of its allies right now. It would be great if they didn’t attack. He would be able to keep more of his secrets. If not, he would need to expose a few of his newly advanced subordinates.

“Heavendoom, go to the Hou Realm.

“Grandstar and Empyrean Cloud, go to the Spatial Beast Realm in secret. Do not act unless Daofuses attack.”

These were the Daofuses he was willing to expose. The rest would remain in hiding. With this arrangement, the myriad races wouldn’t be able to eliminate those realms even if they were willing to give up on the three Daofuses and Fate Realm.

Wan Tiansheng would watch over the Human Realm. But that alone might not be enough. Su Yu was also worried that the myriad races would gather all their strength against the Human Realm.

He sent another message, “Openmountain, the rest of you will go to the Human Realm.”

Done with giving all his orders, Su Yu waited in silence. He was waiting for daybreak. He would launch the surprise attack at the first ray of light.

***

Grand Dream City.

Both Great Xia King and Great Qin King frowned slightly. Great Xia King said, “I thought he wanted us to stay hidden? But now, we’re going to Old Zhou. Are we going to expose ourselves now?”

He loved being the secret trump card. It sounded so cool. But was Su Yu going to expose them so soon?

Great Qin King said, “Something unexpected must have happened. Previously, he gathered a decent number of Daofuses. He intended to kill if possible, but he wouldn’t try too hard. Abyss Marquis could hide in the Fate Realm without suffering from the suppressive force. It wasn’t worth killing. But now, he is clearly intending to kill. Perhaps something changed.”

He was unsure as Su Yu had not explained much.

“So be it. If killing is possible, we kill.”

Great Qin King glanced at the old turtle and said, “There are so many of us. We can easily expose ourselves on our way back to the Human Realm. Can the formation be moved now?”

Outside, Great Ming King said with excitement, “Yes. But don’t damage the formation. I still need to study it.”

Hearing that, the old turtle offered, “In that case, I’ll move the city and send you straight to Eastrift Valley.”

“That won’t be necessary.” Great Qin King said, “We will be going near the Soul Devourer Realm. There is an entrance there, and the soul devourers can open it. We will use that entrance to enter in secret.”

“Sure.”

Before long, the city moved.

It caught numerous gazes, but the city merely stopped near the Soul Devourer Realm. The various experts focused, but they all withdrew their willpower from a deeper scan after noticing the two hungry mouths waiting to eat their willpower there.

And thus, everyone gave up on further spying on the city.

Why was the old turtle visiting the two?

Well, what was so surprising about it? It was normal for the Daofuses of the human alliance to communicate with each other. Maybe the old turtle was there to talk about life, right?

Before long, Great Qin King and the others returned to the Human Realm. With a flicker, Grand Dream City vanished and returned to its original position. The trip was short. Thus, the myriad races completely lost interest soon after.

They only needed to ensure that the old turtle was still in his city. They would only suspect something when the old turtle was gone.

***

Slowly, the sky turned bright.

A group of experts was awaiting the moment to act.

In the Iron Devourer Realm, June inhaled deeply, raised his gigantic bamboo, and said to September, “I’m leaving. Watch our home. Be careful. If you stay inside, not even Tiangu can defeat you.”

“I understand.”

***

Hou Realm.

The expression of the Hou Pseudo Emperor, who was waiting near the entrance, suddenly changed.

“It’s me. Don’t say anything. Su Yu, cough, Emperor Yu mentioned that you were worried that something would happen when you were gone, right? I’ll guard the place for you.”

Hou Pseudo Emperor calmed himself and asked in surprise, “Heavendoom?”

“Your grandpa, cough, cough. Forget that. I am used to speaking like that. Yes, it’s me.”

“You…reached Daofuse?”

“What stupid question are you asking? Just be grateful. Your chance to fight wouldn’t have arrived if I didn’t need to remain as a secret trump card. I could have killed Abyss Marquis with a single swing of my staff.”

The Hou Pseudo Emperor was both shocked and excited. He said, “Many thanks to Emperor Yu for his favor. I was indeed worried, but not anymore. What about the other realms?”

“Don’t worry. We have plenty of trump cards. Death will await the enemies regardless of their target. We would have wiped them out long ago if we weren’t trying to avoid casualties. Emperor Yu wants to keep his strength for the attack against the Upper Realm. The Lower Realm is nothing.”

Hou Pseudo Emperor said nothing, but inwardly, he was greatly shocked.

He was indeed worried that something would happen to his realm with him gone. Surprisingly, Su Yu had considered everything. The little worry in his heart dissipated. Su Yu was indeed someone with the bearing of the Human Emperor.

***

The same was happening to the Spatial Beast Pseudo Emperor.

Two experts had arrived at his realm. Grandstar and Empyrean Cloud.

He said, “I’ll be troubling the two of you this time. You may enter and rest inside for now. As long as they don’t kill their way into the realm, don’t expose yourselves. A little damage to the realm barrier does not matter.”

The Spatial Beast Pseudo Emperor was wild with joy. All the allied races were protected. This signified that Su Yu had gathered an unimaginable number of Daofuses. After all, he needed to keep the Human Realm protected as well.

There were probably even more hiding there. Just how many people had achieved Daofuse in secret?

***

The various Daofuses started moving.

If Tiangu and the others were dumb enough to split their forces and attack several realms, Su Yu was prepared to kill them all. Naturally, he wouldn’t bother if they were together. In such a situation, the various allied realms only needed to stay on the defensive.

***

Slowly, the sky brightened.

At the moment, Fallen Star Marquis was starting to feel a sense of unease. Or to be precise, he had been feeling restless since the departure of Fate Pseudo Emperor. Was something really going to happen?

But this was too sudden.

He inhaled deeply, stood up, and said, “Devilroil, let’s move further outside. We don’t want to be trapped inside. That would be too dangerous for us. We need the ability to leave at a moment’s notice.”

Devilroil nodded. He had been wanting to do so for a long while. It was much safer for them to stay nearer to the exit. And thus, the two relocated. Abyss Marquis did not bother to follow.

Right at that moment, morning arrived.

The radiance from the countless stars in the sky enveloped the previously dark Allheaven Battlefield. This was how daytime was in the Allheaven Battlefield. The gentle starlight also landed on the Fate Realm.

At the exact moment, numerous figures shot toward the Fate Realm at an incredibly fast speed.

At the same time, Great Zhou King teleported to the Fate Realm.

Everything had happened at the exact same moment.

An attack on the Fate Realm.

The Pseudo Emperors of the ancient races could feel their blood boiling. It had been so many years since they felt such excitement. They could fight without worries as all their worries had already been taken care of.

Their homes were well protected.

At the same time, the two furballs moved toward the Immortal Realm while the old turtle moved toward the Devil Realm. They would first try to intercept and stop the devils and immortals from leaving.

The other races would need to fight without the devils and immortals.

Immortal Realm.

Sensing the numerous fluctuations, Tiangu was shocked. But when he sensed them heading toward the Fate Realm, he exhaled in relief. That was way too scary. He had thought that humanity would attack the Dragon Realm. That would be quite troublesome. But Su Yu was targeting the Fate Realm instead.

“Consider yourself unlucky.”

Tiangu smiled. Fate Realm. Even without Fateless, the three powerful Daofuses there were more than what Su Yu could handle.

“Fallen Star Marquis and the others aren’t weak at all.”

Tiangu was laughing, but he still moved. He couldn’t take any risks, right?

“Talisman King, move.”

Instantly, the two charged toward the two furballs. How brazen of the humans, but they would fail. It was unfortunate that Fallen Star Marquis would be exposed, but Tiangu wasn’t too worried about their safety.

“So be it.”

Tiangu was feeling quite helpless. There was nothing he could do about this. Su Yu was simply too brazen. Fortunately, they were smart enough to have two Daofuses descend in advance or this attack from humanity would be much harder to handle.

Sure enough, he was right. Su Yu wasn’t the type to stay idle.
