Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu stepped forward again, but Martial Emperor said, ”Piss off! What do you want, Su Yu? Try killing my real body if you’re so strong.”

”It’s not like I really can’t do that.”

Su Yu grinned and activated his Heaven Gate before looking up at the sky. ”Keep extracting more power from your real body and the seal over you will strengthen again. As a result, your overall strength will drop. This is already the best you can do for now. Am I right? I can kill you by getting seven or eight heavenly kings to fight alongside me. Martial Emperor, be a good training partner or I’ll kill you today.”

Martial Emperor was losing his mind.

He roared furiously, ”If you want to fight, do it properly! Why are you using all those tricks and random powers? What’s the point? You can’t kill me with those. Are you only here to annoy me?”

He was furious. He wasn’t scared of a mere fight. He enjoyed fighting. But an opponent like Su Yu was too annoying. All those random tricks were disgusting to face, such as something like vomit dao. What in the world was that?

There was also the stink dao, one that was capable of forcing Martial Emperor to retch from the stench alone.

Su Yu smiled and said, ”Come on. Let me try all my daos. I’ll leave when I’m done. Martial Emperor, do you prefer if I keep coming back? We can get this over with at one go.”

Martial Emperor’s face turned green with fury. He roared, ”Bring it on!”

Boom!

Once again, his aura surged as he charged toward Su Yu. He vowed to teach Su Yu a lesson today. This time, he was no longer attacking with punches alone. He activated his Heaven Gate, leaving right after Su Yu activated a dao before rushing forward again.

With the Heaven Gate active, he fully made use of his rich combat experience to deal with Su Yu.

***

After an hour, Su Yu vanished with a hum.

He had departed the seventh level.

Only Martial Emperor, with his bloody nose and swollen face, was left behind. But in moments, his appearance returned to normal. Looking at the entrance, he snorted, ”No matter how many tricks you have, you can’t last long. You would have died if you stayed any longer.”

This was a clear display of Su Yu’s weakness. He had to flee after some time. Otherwise, he would run out of energy. Meanwhile, Martial Emperor continued cursing in annoyance. He swore to deal with Su Yu first after freeing his real body.

That was a truly annoying opponent. While cursing, he turned around and left as well.

But only after half an hour of rest, his expression changed as he roared, ”How dare you return?”

Boom!

Su Yu said nothing. He had gone to the chaotic space to accelerate his recovery. He had gathered a bunch of chaos power to be converted into his own power. He was able to make a full recovery in about half an hour. This trick was only possible since Martial Emperor couldn’t give chase. Otherwise, he would have been killed many times over during that half an hour.

Unfortunately for Martial Emperor, he couldn’t leave. In that case, they might as well continue. After all, Su Yu badly needed a training partner that wouldn’t die. He greatly needed more experience facing an opponent at this level.

Boom!

Once again, an intense battle erupted in the seventh level.

An hour later, he fled again.

Martial Emperor started cursing again. He felt as though he had just stepped on some excrement.

He swore to kill Su Yu one day.

”You will be my first target after I’m free!”

Martial Emperor started cursing Su Yu to die somewhere else. This was too annoying. He waited for half an hour, and when Su Yu was nowhere to be seen, he exhaled in relief.

But just as he turned around, he started cursing again.

”You dare return?”

Why did it take Su Yu more than half an hour this time?

Su Yu said in excitement, ”By the way, my battle with you seemed to have grown my dao further! My comprehension and control have deepened as well! I need more time to recover since I’ve grown stronger.”

Boom!

Martial Emperor was losing his mind.

Once again, a battle erupted.

***

An hour...and three minutes later.

Yes, Su Yu managed to last three extra minutes before leaving this time.

Martial Emperor was left standing with a numb expression. He wasn’t even feeling like cussing at Su Yu anymore.

He stood there and stared blankly ahead.

After twenty-nine minutes, Su Yu returned in excitement. ”My recovery speed has improved slightly! Again!”

Rumble!

The battle erupted yet again. This time, Martial Emperor was merely throwing his punches numbly, as though he couldn’t feel any emotions anymore.

What a disgusting opponent to face.

***

One hour and five minutes later, Su Yu fled again.

He returned twenty-eight minutes later.

The battle resumed.

***

Meanwhile, Great Zhou King and the others were on the way back to the Celestial Chasm Realm. Before long, they arrived outside the Celestial Chasm Realm. All of them stared at the distant Luminous Domain Mansion.

With a look of sympathy on his face, Great Zhou King muttered, ”Would...Martial Emperor decide to self-detonate and die with him instead?”

He tried putting himself in Martial Emperor’s position. This...wasn’t something he would be able to tolerate. Su Yu had moved back and forth to fight Martial Emperor for six hours or so. They had been waiting in the chaotic space for a bit, but eventually, they decided to stop waiting.

Wan Tiansheng sighed and said, ”Martial Emperor? Just wait. Emperor Yu isn’t the type to give up easily. Just ask Bai Feng.”

To the side, Bai Feng was rubbing his chin as he said, ”This reminded me of that kid back then--cough. Emperor Yu was willing to spend countless sleepless days just to cultivate and temper himself.”

Nobody could say anything about Su Yu’s persistence.

Back when Su Yu first joined the academy, he was still weak. Even so, he insisted on spending all his nights cultivating, neglecting sleep and rest. Even after all those sleepless nights, he would proceed with all his other activities as usual.

Compared to his peers, his discipline and toughness were unimaginable. Nobody would become strong from doing nothing. If Martial Emperor believed that this would end soon, well, he could stop dreaming.

And sure enough.

Everyone in the Death Realm felt it.

Su Yu spent the entire day moving back and forth. Su Yu was greatly excited. His staying power was increasing, and his recovery speed was also increasing. From an hour, he had improved enough to keep fighting for an hour and half. As for his recovery time, it had improved to fifteen minutes.

In this manner, he fought Martial Emperor repeatedly for three days. Yes. He spent three days doing the same thing. He tested almost all his dao powers on Martial Emperor.

***

Three days later.

Luminous Domain Mansion, seventh level.

Martial Emperor was standing there numbly.

When Su Yu returned again, he giggled like a madman.

”Here again?”

Su Yu was stunned. Did Martial Emperor finally lose it?

”Hehehe.”

”Heh.”

Before Su Yu could say anything, Martial Emperor detonated his clone.

His voice rang out, ”Hehe, I’m sealing myself away. Do whatever you want here.”

He was finally quitting. He even destroyed his clone to quit.

Su Yu was stunned. After a long while, he said, ”I’m nearly done. Any further fight is pointless. Actually, I’m here to bid you farewell. After all, I’m a busy man. I can’t keep wasting my time here. It’s not like I’m a battle addict.”

What a weird guy. Why did that guy detonate his clone for no good reason? The construction of a new clone was resource and time-intensive.

Since Martial Emperor had lasted three whole days, why didn’t he wait for a bit before detonating his clone?

What a fool.

Martial Emperor sank into silence.

Su Yu smiled. ”Thank you, Martial Emperor. I enjoyed the three days with you. I’ll be back when I find more time in the future.”

With that, Su Yu left.

Right after Su Yu’s departure, Martial Emperor roared madly. A gigantic pair of eyes opened on the first level.

He opened his mouth and roared again, ”Su Yu! You will suffer a miserable death! After I’m free, I’ll spend three days and three nights beating you to death!”

Yes. Three days and three nights. He would take revenge for what Su Yu did to him this time. The entire Luminous Domain Mansion shook. Martial Emperor wished he could leave and kill that bastard right away.

He was furious. After three days and nights, he had been forced to detonate his clone just to stop entertaining Su Yu. Yet Su Yu stopped just as he did that.

Ahhhhhh!

Martial Emperor was losing his mind. He had been waiting to see Su Yu’s furious expression from losing a training partner, but even that had failed. Instead, Su Yu only shot him a gaze one normally used when looking at a fool.

”Damn it!”

”Damn you!”

Martial Emperor roared, his voice spreading throughout the Myriad Realms.

***

At the same time.

Buried Soul Mountain.

Hundred Battle King was making his final preparations to return to the Lower Realm. The time had arrived.

The path to the Lower Realm was dangerous, but Hundred Battle King was strong enough to withstand the dangers on the path. He wasn’t using the path connected to the Fate Realm, so he was confident things would go smoothly. Before long, the group reached the boundless void of the Lower Realm.

Over the past few days, calm had returned to the Upper Realm. As the chaos beasts started returning to the Chaos Mountain, including a few who were rather powerful, the battle had stopped.

A tiger and a dragon, in particular, were the more noteworthy ones among the newly arrived chaos beasts. Both were incomparably powerful. Their arrival forced the battle to end earlier than expected.

Everyone was too wary to continue fighting. They were alarmed by the appearance of more powerful chaos beasts. The previous bird was nowhere to be seen. Nobody knew if that bird had died or migrated elsewhere.

In the boundless void, Hundred Battle King focused his senses on his surroundings and smiled, ”I’m finally back.”

Myriad Realms.

After six thousand years, he was finally back.

”Where do we go now, Your Majesty?”

”Human Realm first, Primordial Giant Realm next.” Hundred Battle King smiled. ”Let’s see how the Human Realm is nowadays. I’m curious what Su Yu left for me.”

And then, they flew off. They moved slowly, taking this chance to observe the Myriad Realms.

Suddenly, he looked in a certain direction and raised his brow. ”Been a while, Heavenly Overseer Marquis.”

Far away, Heavenly Overseer Marquis appeared with a smile on his face.

”Hundred Battle King. You’re back.”

Hundred Battle King said, ”Yes. Interested in joining me?”

”No thanks.”

”Audacious!”

Heavenly Overseer Marquis glanced at the roaring Southbrook Marquis and merely smiled. Next, he looked at both Cloud Water Marquis and Southbrook Marquis before saying, ”I don’t know about the others, but I’m afraid a bleak future awaits Cloud Water Marquis.”

With a chuckle, Heavenly Overseer Marquis started fading away. ”Hundred Battle King, I know about the past as well. A pity that you probably don’t have the courage to kill me right now. And I doubt you’ll get the opportunity to kill me anymore.”

With that, Heavenly Overseer Marquis vanished completely.

Hundred Battle King stared silently for a long while before saying, ”Interesting. The fortune of the ancient past has grown strong yet again.”

But soon, he tossed the matter aside. This was still not the time to deal with Heavenly Overseer Marquis. Killing Heavenly Overseer Marquis so early would only bring him more trouble than he needed.

He still needed to check the status of the Primordial Giant Realm. Killing Heavenly Overseer Marquis now would only allow the Upper Realm to produce a bunch of Masters of Laws. That would be troublesome. Beside him, Cloud Water Marquis was frowning.

Hundred Battle King did not even look at her as he said, ”He must have been talking about Su Yu. Don’t worry. I’ll deal with him.”

He smiled and continued, ”Looks like Heavenly Overseer Marquis has quite a high confidence in Su Yu. And Su Yu is probably quite a petty one. Watch your back, Cloud Water.”

”Your Majesty, I—”

”Don’t worry. Fortune isn’t everything. Heavenly Overseer Marquis would have conquered everything long ago otherwise.”

Heavenly Overseer Marquis must have noticed something before saying something like that, such as a decline in Cloud Water Marquis’ fortune. But he wasn’t too bothered about something like fortune.

No true emperor would allow something like fortune to dictate their choices. Of course, there was still a need for them to be wary. After all, Heavenly Overseer Marquis was a powerful expert as well. It would be unwise to ignore his words.
