Tribulation of Myriad Races

Boom!

Sounds of explosions rang out from within Heavenbridge Marquis’ body. He had forcefully swallowed all those gates, and they were now exploding. At the same time, the twins, Yue Luo, and white-haired old man started coughing blood. Their foreheads had burst apart as well.

The same was also happening to the heavenly kings. Two of them were instantly killed by their myriad race opponents. This was the second time the white-haired old man had lost his gate in recent times, and the backlash was heavy.

At the moment, he was facing Sacred Marquis in battle. With a punch, Sacred Marquis blasted his body apart. He hurriedly pulled back while regrowing his broken head. There was a danger of dying here. He had to leave!

Right at that moment, Yue Luo screeched. Instantly, the airdrums of everyone around them burst. At the same time, they were momentarily stunned. Yue Luo’s forehead had burst apart as well, but her aura had somehow grown.

She had grown stronger instead of dropping in strength. A ribbon shot out of her hand and wrapped around the white-haired old man. Then, she fled with the old man in two. Yue Zhan and the twins were also retreating. Seeing that everyone was retreating, the two devil Venerables retreated as well.

Run!

They could no longer keep fighting.

***

Su Yu did nothing to stop the withdrawal. He narrowed his eyes. Yue Luo had somehow grown stronger. In order to save the white-haired old man, she had revealed her actual strength. How odd.

But soon, realization dawned on Su Yu.

Su Yu’s eyes flickered.

They were on the same side.

Yes. They were together.

Both Yue Luo and the white-haired old man were with Hundred Battle King. This was quite unbelievable. Hundred Battle King had more than one Venerable planted among Control King’s lineage.

Perhaps there were Hundred Battle King’s subordinates among those heavenly kings and Daofuses as well. However, they were less valuable so Yue Luo had not bothered to expose her strength to save them.

The old man, on the other hand, was valuable enough for her to expose her strength. When Su Yu looked at Thunderstorm, Thunderstorm kept his head lowered in silence.

Su Yu laughed.

”Interesting.” His voice rang out in Thunderstorm’s ears, ”Truly interesting. Of the five remaining Venerables in Control King’s lineage, two are actually with Hundred Battle. I wonder if the rest of them will feel like crying when they learn about this.”

All the Venerables had withdrawn. However, escape was not possible for the remaining heavenly kings and Daofuses. Tiangu and his people were giving chase while killing as many of them as possible. As for Su Yu, he started focusing on the stronger experts instead. He even started targeting the devils.

Yes. Some of the devils were also retreating alongside those from Control King’s lineage. Su Yu noticed how the Lower Realm devils, such as Mo Ji, had actually been thinking of running long ago. The moment an opportunity presented itself, they ignited their blood essence to flee.

Some of the divines and immortals wanted to give chase, but they ultimately gave up. Jiwu and the others had complicated expressions as they looked at the fleeing devils. No matter what, they had cooperated well with Mo Ji and the others in the Lower Realm. At present, Mo Ji was no longer a big threat. If he wanted to flee, so be it.

They had newly arrived in the Upper Realm as well. They probably didn’t know much about the betrayal. The sudden betrayal had caused the deaths of many devils. This might spell the end of the devil race as a whole if they couldn’t make a comeback from this.

***

Su Yu ignored the fleeing devils as well. Rather, he continued killing the withdrawing experts with his people.

At this moment, even Daofuses were cannon fodder.

The slaughter continued.

Su Yu did not bother giving chase to those who were already far away. He knew that Yu Qing was on the cusp of breaking free. And sure enough, just as Yue Zhan and a few others arrived near the Hell Gate, a rumble rang out. An incomparably powerful presence surged out. The entire world stilled.

A terrifying being, a true Master of Law, had arrived. This was most likely the first proper Master of Law to emerge in a hundred thousand years. Prior to this, the likes of Martial Emperor and Death Imperator only existed in a sealed state.

Hundred Battle King’s actual strength was still unknown, but he had definitely not shown this level of strength before. From deep within the mountains, a terrifying being clad in black armor strode forth one step at a time.

Yue Zhan and the others were overjoyed.

Finally!

She was finally out!

”Supreme!”

”Senior Sister!”

The defeated Venerables were so happy that they nearly cried tears of joy. So many of them were dead. The seven Venerables here were the only surviving Venerables. Less than ten Daofuses had survived.

One ought to know that prior to this, the devil race and Control King’s lineage had deployed over a hundred Daofuses to the battlefield. These were the only survivors. The losses were too heavy.

Tiangu and the others stopped their pursuit. They converged together. They still had over a hundred Daofuses and more than ten heavenly kings on their side. Everyone gathered with solemn expressions.

Finally!

After losing several Venerables and almost all their heavenly kings, the Master of Law had finally arrived. She was slightly late. Perhaps this was also a result of losing their fortune to Su Yu.

”Very good.”

With another step, Yu Qing flickered before Yue Zhan’s group. She shot her sharp gaze at Su Yu’s direction. Su Yu and the stronger powerhouses were fine, but that gaze alone was enough to cause all the Daofuses to bleed from their seven orifices.

This was the suppression of a higher being.

A true Master of Law.

Yi Qing’s aura surged out in all directions.

In terms of pure combat strength, she was probably only slightly stronger than top-tier Venerables like Yue Zhan. But in terms of aura and presence, she was absolutely terrifying. Su Yu had never seen such a being before. Only now did he start suspecting that perhaps the Master of the Perished had yet to reach the level of a Master of Law.

Clad in black boots and black armor, Yu Qing stepped forth with a black spear in hand. She showed no fear even when she was faced with a large number of Venerables. She might not be able to kill too many of them alone, but they definitely wouldn’t be able to stop her from leaving if she wanted to.

A Master of Law was different.

Venerables might have the same level of comprehension, but they were ultimately different. Even the best of the Venerables would be inferior to Masters of Laws.

As she stepped forth, many people started stepping backward. When her gaze landed on Su Yu, he flashed her an indifferent smile. ”Congratulations. What’s your name?”

Yi Qing answered coldly, ”Yu Qing. Ninth disciple of the holy lord.”

Su Yu gasped, ”Control’s disciple? No way. And you’re only ranked ninth? Are you saying that Control has nine Masters of Laws as disciples? You must be joking. If that’s true, the likes of Human Emperor and Culture King must be a joke in comparison.”

Bullshit. There was no way he was going to buy that lie. Did Human Emperor even have Masters of Laws as his disciples? Wait, did he even have disciples? Culture King had some students, but none were direct disciples. Human Emperor did not seem to have any disciples.

Regardless, Su Yu found it hard to believe that Control King had nine Masters of Laws as disciples. Then again, he couldn’t be too sure either. Nobody knew what was hiding behind the Hell Gate. There was a possibility that Yu Qing was speaking the truth.

Were a majority of Control King disciples behind the gate? Did they break through behind the gate? In that case, they might really be able to produce nine Masters of Laws.

”Audacious!” Yu Qing berated, ”Who are you to mention the holy lord by name? You’re courting death!”

Su Yu laughed, ”Even if Control himself is standing before me, he’s a mere traitor unworthy of talking to me. I am the human lord. The lord of humanity. How dare a traitor like you speak this way to me? Have you forgotten your place just because you’re a Master of Law?”

Su Yu sneered, ”One Master of Law and seven Venerables. Is this supposed to be very strong?”

Su Yu looked around and continued, ”Let’s see. We have quite a lot of Venerables on our side as well.”

He had seven Venerables on his side. The immortals had four, and the divines had three. However, Venerable Moon could no longer be counted since he had lost his body. The nether and phoenix races had one Venerable each. Including the chaos dragon and eight-winged tiger, there were ten Venerables among them.

Including Su Yu’s group, they had seventeen Venerables.

Yu Qing looked at the chaos dragon and the eight-winged tiger. With a cold gaze, she asked, ”Are you defecting?”

A unique aura erupted from her body. That was the aura of chaos, also the will of chaos. This was the will of the powerful beings behind the gate. Numerous bursts of powerful chaos will erupted.

Suddenly, the chaos beasts behind the tiger and dragon roared. Their eyes turned red as they started attacking the myriad race experts around them.

Boom!

This development caught everyone by surprise. The Venerables acted, not holding back even though these were supposed to be the subordinates of the tiger and dragon. In the blink of an eye, more than ten chaos beasts were killed, but not before several myriad race Daofuses were dead.

Here, Daofuses were dying like bugs. Over twenty of them had died in the blink of an eye. The tiger and dragon roared and glared at Yu Qing with red eyes.

Yu Qing said, ”You are all of the chaos. Are you courting death by challenging the will of chaos? Get over here and submit. This is your chance to make up for your prior mistake. Otherwise, die.”

The chaos will on her body erupted in intensity, interfering with the minds of the two. The surrounding myriad race experts hurriedly distanced themselves from the two. This was too terrifying.

The hearts of Tiangu and the others thumped nervously. Were these two incapable of resisting the influence of chaos?

Just then, Su Yu rolled his eyes and said, ”Enough. Stop acting already. Are you trying to feign submission before stabbing her in the back? Forget that. You will never win the trust of this old hag.”

”Uh...” Instantly, clarity returned to the tiger’s eyes. He asked curiously, ”Why wouldn’t she trust us?”

”...”

Silence descended. Yu Qing’s face fell. Were the two unaffected?

Su Yu said, ”She won’t trust you if she’s not dumb...”

”But I feel like she’s actually quite dumb.” The tiger said gloomily, ”Emperor Yu, can you stop messing with our plan? It hasn’t been easy for us to come up with this plan. You’re ruining everything. Since she was trying to control us, we might as well play along. Not everyone is as treacherous as you—I mean not everyone is as well-read as you.”

He felt gloomy. Damn Su Yu for ruining his plan! He had an excellent plan. There was no guarantee that Yu Qing would be able to see through it. They could always feign their submission.

Then, the myriad races and Su Yu could fight her again. When both sides suffered enough damage, the two beasts would be able to deal her a critical blow. But damn it! Su Yu had ruined his plan!

Again!

It hadn’t been easy for a cultured tiger like him to come up with a plan. But Su Yu kept ruining everything for him!

The tiger was furious. ”Emperor Yu, we have an agreement with different roles assigned to each of us. Why do you keep messing with my plan?”

Su Yu shrugged and said, ”I merely believe that she’s not this dumb. If you feign submission, she will probably use you as cannon fodder against us. What if I kill you accidentally? Also, can you stop acting, chaos dragon?

”It has been a while since you lost your tail. Why aren’t you growing it back out? You’re someone as strong as Yue Zhan, but for some reason, the twins are completely unharmed even after fighting both you and the tiger. This is too excessive.”

”...”
