Tribulation of Myriad Races

After a short silence, Tiangu chuckled. ”So be it. We shall see.”

He was the actual ruler of the immortal race. However, he had stayed in the Lower Realm for too long. Some of the people in the Upper Realm had grown far stronger than before. They might not be willing to obey him anymore. Even after breaking through into a heavenly king, that might still not be enough for him to hold power in the Upper Realm.

Thus, moving to the Upper Realm was actually something he didn’t want to do unless absolutely necessary.

”So be it.” Tiangu said, ”The dao in the Upper Realm is loose. I will be able to grow faster up there.”

And then, he left.

There was no guarantee that he would be able to return in the future. Thus, he wanted to take a good look at the realm he had ruled for a hundred thousand years before leaving. Things might be calm if Su Yu weren’t going to the Upper Realm as well, but that wasn’t the case. And was Su Yu the type to sit silent and do nothing?

It was likely that the Upper Realm would be thrown into chaos soon. As for Tiangu himself, he could potentially die to Su Yu or Control King’s lineage. This might be his final separation with the Lower Realm.

A certain premonition was already rising within him. And such a premonition was giving him a sense of despair. Even so, he did not say anything about what he was feeling. It wasn’t like anyone would actually believe it.

Done with his tasks in the Myriad Realms, Su Yu returned to the Death Realm for his other tasks.

At the same time.

A figure was still moving upstream in the River of Time.

Xing Yue had been moving forward for an indeterminate amount of time. There wasn’t much life power left in front of her. Xing Yu’s token had dimmed as well. She gazed into the distance. Was she not there yet? If it wasn’t for Xing Yu’s token, and if it wasn’t for the boost of power from her recent resurrection, she wouldn’t have been able to come this far.

”Am I still not there?”

She was starting to grow anxious. If she didn’t reach soon, she would be forced to go downstream again. Just then, she felt herself stepping through a certain barrier. Instantly, her aura surged. An incomparably dense life power erupted from her body. She blinked. She seemed to have...gone through a sort of film.

”Am I...there?”

Her aura continued growing. In the blink of an eye, an intense burst of life power bubbled beneath her as she advanced to a level beyond. Master of Law. Yes. She had broken through.

Or to be more accurate, she had regained her previous strength.

Master of Law.

Xing Yue sank into thought. Had her elder brother sealed only a part of the river back then? That was understandable. If her elder brother were strong enough to seal the entire river, he would already be as powerful as the Master of Time.

”In other words, anyone can break through if they can travel this far.”

But when she thought more about it, this wouldn’t be an easy feat.

She had only managed to travel this far with the boost of power from her recent resurrection and Xing Yu’s token. Nobody else would be able to travel this far without being a Master of Law.

Human Emperor had selected the right place to place his seal. One couldn’t reach here without being a Master of Law. If one were already a Master of Law, this seal would be pointless anyway.

Even after regaining her original strength, Xing Yue’s aura continued growing.

”Daos of life and death?”

She was originally a master of the life dao. But now, she was emanating some death power as well. After all, she had been a death spirit for many years before absorbing her death essence and Su Yu’s death dao. Thus, she now had the powers of life and death inside her body.

Having regained control over her life dao, she sank into hesitation. An imbalance had occurred in her body. Her life power was far beyond the level of her death power. After all, she now controlled two life daos.

”The death dao in the River of Time was stripped off long ago by the Master of Death. There is no death dao here anymore.”

It wouldn’t be easy for her death power to keep up unless she could find a way to convert life to death.

”And moving forward, which life dao should I focus on growing?”

She had two life daos now. After some thought, she drained a large amount of power from her original life dao and poured it into her second life dao. She was trying to strengthen Su Yu’s life dao.

She was the first true Master of Law in Su Yu’s world. That was because she was already a Master of Law before this. After returning into a Master of Law, she had instantly mastered Su Yu’s life and death daos as well.

Yes. Even the death dao. After all, she was a death spirit for many years. Anyone else could have accidentally turned into a death spirit after mastering Su Yu’s death dao, but this wasn’t an issue for Xing Yue since she had the life daos to keep the balance.

In short, she was now a master of three daos. Two of them were far weaker than the one from the River of Time. In fact, the two could only barely compare against a single dao in the River of Time after combining together.

Life and death daos were foundational daos. Each was supposed to be powerful, but now, the two were weaker than her original dao even after combining. After some thought, Xing Yue concluded that Su Yu’s world was still too weak.

”I have his life and death daos. His world will probably grow when I grow the two daos.”

This would not affect her much as she was only rebalancing the powers under her control, but this could also result in a different sort of imbalance.

***

At the same time.

Su Yu had just returned to his own world when he raised his brow with surprise. Suddenly, a large amount of life power poured into her world. His entire world was suddenly flooded with life.

Wan Tiansheng hurriedly flew over. He first looked at the world before looking at Su Yu with astonishment, ”It’s expanding again. This expansion is even bigger than the one when South Heavenly King fused with your world.”

Su Yu nodded, ”Someone became a true Master of Law.”

Understanding dawned on Wan Tiansheng. Xing Yue!

Her growth into a Master of Law had also made her the master of the two daos from Su Yu’s world. With her improvement, the world expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it reached the size of Nanyuan.

And when Su Yu looked up, he could see even more life power pouring into his world. The death qi of his world was fully suppressed by the abundance of life. In fact, Su Yu even felt like his life force was recovering. His entire person felt younger.

Even his white hair was slowly turning black again. Soon, Su Yu understood what was happening. An external life power was fusing into his life dao. Xing Yue’s breakthrough included a mastery over the life dao of the River of Time. And now, she was pouring power from her original life dao into Su Yu’s life dao.

Wan Tiansheng reached the same conclusion. He smiled and said, ”She has advanced into a Master of Law yet there is no reaction from the Myriad Realms. Is it safe to assume that she has reached Human Emperor?”

”Probably.”

Wan Tiansheng made a short calculation and said, ”It is quite a long trip. She has been going upstream for over a day with Xing Yu’s token in hand. Without the token, she would probably take three days or more to travel as far. In short, nobody else can reach that place without being a Master of Law.”

Su Yu nodded, ”Definitely. Someone would have gone over long ago if it were this easy. A day of travel...”

Su Yu thought about it and said, ”At this rate, Human Emperor and the others will probably return in a year or two.”

Of course, that was only a rough estimation. After a while, he ignored the matter. It wasn’t like there was anything he could do since Xing Yue wasn’t here. He looked at the end of his world. A large token manifested.

It opened, revealing its inside space to him. Inside, the origin of the myriad daos could be seen alongside some clones of Lan Tian. Lan Tian was still maintaining his connection to the River of Time. The inner space of the token had seemingly turned into the control center of his world.

Su Yu took the cage out and returned it to its original size. Inside, Heavenly Overseer Marquis was having a conversation with Bountiful Treasure. The moment the cage was released, he looked outside and was instantly alarmed. What place was this?

He could barely sense the fortune of the Myriad Realms here.

Su Yu did not bother to explain. He said, ”Stay here and don’t dream of running. You won’t succeed. This is the central location of my world. If you can really escape this place, I suppose I’ll have no choice but to acknowledge how incredible you are.

”I still have many matters to handle. You may try comprehending the luck dao here, but you are not allowed to fuse with it. Try it, and I’ll kill you.”

If Heavenly Overseer Marquis did so, he would effectively be draining the fortune of the Myriad Realms into a different world. That might result in the collapse of the cultivation restriction in the Myriad Realms, and that wasn’t what Su Yu wanted to see.

Then again, Heavenly Overseer Marquis wouldn’t be able to do it without his permission.

Su Yu continued, ”But you are allowed to comprehend and leave your comprehension behind. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. What’s the point? You’re currently under my protection, so I will ensure your safety. Stay and enjoy my protection, Heavenly Overseer Marquis.”

Heavenly Overseer Marquis didn’t even know what to say anymore. He was feeling greatly discouraged. Was the gap between him and Su Yu really so big? After taking a look at the core of the world and recalling what Bountiful Treasure told him earlier, he could conclude what this place was.

Su Yu had completed Creation.

He had broken free from the Myriad Realms.

After a short silence, Heavenly Overseer Marquis said, ”You can keep me imprisoned, but it’s useless. When the fortune of Myriad Realms starts scattering, I will still die. And everyone will still break through.”

Su Yu laughed, ”True. However, that’s something far in the future. Do you think I’ll take that long to deal with my enemies?”

That was also true. Heavenly Overseer Marquis had to agree with Su Yu. This fellow was growing more and more terrifying.
