Tribulation of Myriad Races

The snake raged. Why was this happening? The tiger couldn’t be bothered to reply. Why? It didn’t matter. He couldn’t be bothered to explain. It was quite simple. Nobody was happy being a servant. Was he supposed to slave away for the chaos will? Why should he?

Chaos had been sealed away for countless years, and they had enjoyed a life of freedom outside. Those fellows had yet to even return but they were already ordering the chaos beasts outside around. What would happen to them when the beasts behind the gate were out?

If they were unlucky, they would probably be swallowed by someone like the matron dragon with a single bite and nobody would care. They wanted to rule as well. They did not want to be slaves. It was that simple.

Tiangu sighed with relief. He didn’t mind being called a fool. At the very least, this would make things clearer. At this point, the two couldn’t even return to Control King’s lineage anymore. They would no longer be trusted.

”Keep an eye on these two.” Tiangu transmitted. Then, he looked at the two and said, ”Since you’re here, you will handle the twins.”

Of the seven Venerables on the other side, the twins were not weak. However, the tiger and dragon were powerhouses as well. Thus, this wasn’t a task beyond their ability. The two looked at each other and nodded.

Tiangu continued, ”The immortal race will handle Yue Luo and Yue Hao. As for the remaining three, the divine race will take one, the devil race will take one, and the nether, dragon, and phoenix Venerables will take the remaining Venerable on the other side.

”If that person does emerge, Consort Emeritus will need to delay them for a bit. We will arrive to help when we’re done with our opponents.”

The Consort Emeritus would handle Yue Zhan. He did not assign any opponent to Su Yu’s side. At present, he would be happy so long as Su Yu didn’t stab them in the back. However, he was still extremely wary toward Su Yu.

By offering to handle two of the more powerful Venerables, Tiangu was demonstrating the sincerity of the immortals. The dragon, phoenix, and nether Venerables only needed to face one Venerable. This seemed rather safe, so nobody protested. In fact, this was a far better arrangement than many had imagined.

Tiangu inhaled deeply and said, ”As for the heavenly kings, handle the heavenly kings. It doesn’t matter if you can’t kill your opponents, but keep them occupied. The same applies to the others. You are not allowed to desert. You are not allowed to withdraw without permission. Violator...will be killed.”

Everyone’s hearts thumped.

With a soft voice, Su Yu continued, ”Watch out for Su Yu’s group.”

With that final reminder, he roared, ”Kill!”

And thus, the battle began.

The instant they charged forth, Tiangu transmitted to a small group of people, ”Be wary of the devils.”

When Consort Emeritus heard those words, her eyes flickered.

Tiangu transmitted again, ”Consort Emeritus, stay back for now. If that Ancestor does emerge, think carefully before making your move. Try to get Su Yu’s group to fight and keep an eye on the devils.”

Consort Emeritus’ eyes flickered, but she said nothing.

”According to what I know, and according to what Su Yu knows, there is a relationship between the devils and Control King’s lineage. The mixing of bloodlines might not be a big deal, but we still need to be careful. If the devils do turn on us, you’ll have to handle them, Consort Emeritus.”

Su Yu had mentioned the mixed bloodlines, but most people had ignored him. It wasn’t like that had never happened before. The human race had always been prejudiced against the mixing of bloodlines, but the other races were much more tolerant of that. In any case, the devils had feigned ignorance about the matter, so many had been neglecting the issue.

Evidently, Tiangu had not forgotten that matter. He did not dare to be careless about this. If the devils were really traitors...things could get very dangerous. Furthermore, were there really only two Venerables in the devil race? According to what Tiangu knew, a powerful devil was still in hiding.

Of course, the devils had claimed that this powerhouse was in a critical phase of cultivation. They had notified this powerhouse about the coming battle, but the powerhouse remained in seclusion. There was nothing they could do about it.

Sacred Marquis and Corona had even personally observed the location of the seclusion. They could see the stirring dao around the area, signifying that one was indeed in a critical phase of cultivation. Thus, the two did not push things.

However, Tiangu still didn’t dare to relax his guard against the devils. He had not voiced his suspicion openly because he didn’t want to risk forcing the devils to turn against them. There was no need for that. He had only notified Corona, Sacred Marquis, and Consort Emeritus about his suspicion.

As for the others, they might end up talking too much. Thus, he did not tell anyone else about it. After his warning, the three would be able to react to any changes in time.

”Kill!”

Tiangu roared again as he continued marching forth. A large number of chaos beasts charged in their direction.

***

Behind the perimeter.

Yue Luo and the others exchanged gazes. Yue Luo ordered, ”Summon the Hell Gate!”

They were quite scared of doing this again.

However, things were urgent enough that they couldn’t afford to hold back.

This was a special ability of their race. With their Hell Gate, they could summon the willpower projection of powerful beings. It had backfired on them once, but they couldn’t stop eating for the fear of choking. They still needed to use this ability when necessary.

In any case, Heavenbridge Marquis wasn’t around anymore. In the blink of an eye, a large number of gates converged. Space was torn apart as the gates combined into a gigantic gate. An overwhelming aura surged out of it. A familiar voice rang out from behind the gate.

”Damn you! I’ll kill you!”

As the world shook, a titanic beast appeared. It was the same matron dragon. The dragon was still furious at having its willpower devoured earlier. Thus, it rushed out right after it was summoned.

This time, its projection was even stronger than before. With the support of ten Hell Gates, its aura surged to the level of Sacred Marquis before slowly surpassing that level. The expressions of Tiangu and the others changed drastically.

Another summoning?

Tiangu roared, ”Sacred Marquis, handle this beast! The immortal race will deal with it!”

Nobody had anything to say to that.

Previously, the immortals had offered to handle two of the stronger Venerables. And now, they were volunteering to handle the projected beast as well. What could the others complain about this?

”Venerable Dao, handle Yue Luo. Venerable Desolate, handle Yue Hao. Sacred Source, we will remain mobile. Kill!”

Boom!

The battle increased in intensity.

Instantly, numerous chaos beasts were killed. The matron dragon and other powerhouses rushed forth to stabilize the frontline. One formation after another was activated by Control King’s lineage.

Having stayed here for many years, Control King’s lineage had numerous contingencies in place. Numerous formations were appearing in the sky as well. Some were even brimming with the power of chaos lightning. With a rumble, a rain of chaos lightning fell upon the world below. The battle had finally started in earnest.

***

”Your Majesty?”

Giant Axe and the others looked at Su Yu questioningly. The myriad races were finally fighting for real. They were surprisingly decisive. Even with the addition of the matron dragon, the myriad races did not shrink back from the fight. As of this moment, the myriad races held the upper hand.

After a short observation, Su Yu laughed, ”Let’s go.”

He flew forward, avoiding the frontline, and said, ”Tiangu, don’t worry about their so-called Ancestor. I’ll keep the Ancestor occupied for you. This way, you don’t need to keep worrying about me while fighting. I’m different from you guys. Hahaha!”

Su Yu started flying toward the kingdom surrounded by mountains. Just as he approached the kingdom, numerous formations and chains appeared to block the way forward. A projection appeared at the center of the net of chains.

This projection resembled the projection Su Yu saw previously in the Luminous Domain Mansion. This formation, in particular, was one laid down personally by Control King. The moment Giant Axe charged forward, countless chains swept toward him.

Boom!

Giant Axe was instantly bloodied by the whipping chains. Fortunately, Heavenly Fate Marquis had been sent with him. With his heavenly eye open, Heavenly Fate Marquis dragged Giant Axe out before more chains could hit him.

The moment Giant Axe was out of the formation, his heart thumped with fear as he stared at the surrounding mountain warily. What was that? Su Yu was looking up with his Heaven Gate as well. He could see the projection in the middle of the formation. That was most likely a willpower remnant of Control King, in charge of keeping this formation running. This was an incomparably powerful defensive formation.

What a pity that Great Ming King wasn’t present or he could take the chance to learn something here.

The distant Consort Emeritus and the others sensed the formation as well. Consort Emeritus shouted with her sickly voice, ”That’s the Eight Imprisonment Heaven Locking Formation! With eight main chains, a large formation is sustained. It has powerful offensive and defensive capabilities.”

Consort Emeritus had yet to join the fight. When she saw the formation, she hastily informed Su Yu what she knew.

***

”Eight Imprisonment Heaven Locking Formation?”

Su Yu muttered to himself. This was a powerful formation. It was still breakable. But more trouble might await even after breaking it.

Su Yu laughed, ”You don’t want me inside? In that case...sure. I won’t be going in.”

”Kill!”

Instead of attacking the kingdom, Su Yu turned around and returned to the distant battlefield. He threw a punch from afar and roared, ”We will handle this corner of the battlefield. Any myriad races in the area are to retreat.”

The myriad race Daofuses in the area hurriedly pulled back. All six Venerables on Su Yu’s side threw themselves into battle.

Boom!

A peak Daofuse of Control King’s lineage charged toward Su Yu’s group with desperation. Boom! The six Venerables on Su Yu’s side attacked the Daofuse together. Fairness was inapplicable here. They only needed to kill.

The Daofuse was blasted apart in the blink of an eye. Six Venerables could kill a tier-two Daofuse as easily as squashing an ant.

Su Yu said, ”Killing is not our priority. Heavenly Fate, you will be in charge of trapping. Fat Ball, you will be in charge of swallowing. I will be stripping their dao power.”

”Okay.”

And thus, the six continued their war efforts at the corner of the battlefield.

Boom!

Numerous fireworks bloomed in the sky as Daofuse after Daofuse died. In this battlefield, even Daofuses were dying like cannon fodder.
