Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu laughed, ”You are quite a stubborn one. I suggest...you die.”

Boom!

Shadow Marquis was crushed. Down below, the expressions of Brave Martial, Stable Army, and the others turned complicated. However, none of them said anything. Next, Su Yu dragged another familiar face out. Cloud Water Marquis. She was already injured.

With a self-mocking smile on her face, she said, ”There is no need to dirty your hand on me...”

At that moment, Brave Martial General couldn’t resist speaking, ”Your Majesty, she never did anything! She did nothing while she was with them...”

Cloud Water Marquis had lied to her, but the two had been close friends for many years. Thus, she couldn’t stop herself from pleading for mercy. Cloud Water Marquis had not participated in the chaotic battle earlier, but the shockwaves from all the battles around her had still injured her.

Shadow Marquis was not someone Brave Martial General was really that close to. But she had spent a lot of time with Cloud Water Marquis.

”I should be sparing her for you, Brave Martial.” Su Yu smiled, ”But...I can’t show mercy here. Otherwise, everyone will think they can stand against me and get away with it.”

Boom!

And then, Su Yu crushed Cloud Water Marquis.

The smile on his face was chilling as he said, ”I would rather kill the wrong person than spare someone I shouldn’t. Death is enough to wipe out the debt between us. If you want, you may look for her in the Death Realm, Brave Martial.”

Brave Martial said nothing.

Su Yu killed a few more Daofuses with a palm strike.

He said, ”As for the rest of them, I can’t be bothered to ask for their names. It’s a waste of time. Who cares if nobodies like them die?”

Far away, the fleeing Hundred Battle King looked back and shot Su Yu a cold glare.

Su Yu sneered, ”Can you escape? This is my world.”

”Return.”

With one command, a large amount of power converged around them.

Yu and Hundred Battle King attacked.

Each threw a punch.

Boom!

The converging power was shattered.

”You can’t leave.”

”Lock!”

”Trap.”

”Misfortune.”

All sorts of powers swept toward them.

However, Yu and Hundred Battle King demonstrated their prowess by smashing all the powers apart.

Su Yu’s world was still imperfect.

Su Yu laughed sheepishly and said, ”That was embarrassing.”

Those below watched helplessly. Was this the time to care about that? He should be focusing on stopping them instead.

Suddenly, a token appeared at the end of Su Yu’s world. He roared. Both Hundred Battle King and Yu stiffened slightly, thinking that yet another wave of attacks was coming.

But instead, Su Yu said, ”Human Emperor, please lend me some dao power!”

Boom!

The influence of the human lord’s token spread as the power of human luck rippled out. Next, the distant Human Emperor’s dao in the Dao Origin Land started trembling. In the blink of an eye, it connected to Su Yu’s dao with human lord’s token as the medium.

”Granted.”

Once again, Human Emperor’s voice boomed out. The voice was seemingly trying to take this chance to say more. This bastard had been borrowing his strength repeatedly, and he had something to say about that.

But Su Yu roared again, severing the willpower connection before more words could be said. Human Emperor only needed to help through action, not words. Su Yu was the sole main character today.

***

”Fuck!”

A curse rang out deep inside the River of Time. That stretch of the river trembled, but soon, it calmed down again. There was another disturbance from the river. The others wondered if his majesty was mourning Martial Emperor’s repeated death. They were already used to all these disturbances. It had been happening frequently as of late.

And his majesty had been cursing repeatedly as well. Why was he cursing? Nobody cared. They assumed that it must be his loss of face or something.

Human Emperor was furious. Su Yu, right? He would not forget that name. It hadn’t been easy for him to find a chance to send some of his willpower back. He only wanted to say something, but the little shit had shattered his willpower before he could say anything.

What was that?

Human Emperor had kindly lent him the dao power he wanted.

Human Emperor had kindly lent him the territory inside the Upper Realm.

Was this his repayment for everything?

Human Emperor raged.

Damn it!

This was intolerable.

Had he been too nice? Or was that fellow being so audacious because of his absence?

”So be it. I’ll settle the scores with you when I’m back.”

Human Emperor decided to settle his scores with both Martial Emperor and Su Yu. It wouldn’t be long before their return to the Myriad Realms. In fact, this was why Su Yu had been able to borrow his strength so easily. In the past, he would be too far away to help even if he wanted.

”Just what is that guy doing?”

Human Emperor was unsure. But he knew that something major must be happening in the Myriad Realms.

***

At the same time, the daos of Su Yu and Human Emperor connected in the Upper Realm.

An overwhelming wave of dao power swept through the world.

Even Su Yu was gasping with shock.

Impressive.

A half-complete dao was actually no weaker than his world, a world he had fused many daos into. For a moment, he was even tempted to fuse Human Emperor’s dao into his world as well.

But ultimately, he refrained from doing so.

That might sever Human Emperor’s path of creation as well. With all that in mind, Su Yu smiled. He knew Human Emperor would agree. He also knew that Human Emperor wasn’t that far away anymore. He wouldn’t have been able to borrow any strength from Human Emperor otherwise.

This much strength should be enough, right? So many Masters of Laws had fused into his world. He had even borrowed Human Emperor’s power. He should be strong enough to defeat these people now.

With a flicker, Su Yu vanished. The expressions of Hundred Battle King and Yu changed as both attacked, one with his fist and the other with her spear. But immediately after, their expressions changed again.

Not them.

Su Yu wasn’t targeting them. However, their realization came too late. Since they were still within Su Yu’s world, even their senses were being suppressed. The two exchanged gazes before resuming their flight out of the world. They had to leave Su Yu’s world. The suppression they suffered inside Su Yu’s world was too great.

Just as the two started flying away—Boom!

Su Yu’s punch punctured Longbrow’s chest. With despair in his eyes, Longbrow said weakly, ”I...have only been...serving my master...”

”Yes.” Su Yu nodded understandingly, ”That’s understandable. In fact, I love subordinates like you as well. For example, an old ass-kisser like Great Zhou King is very comfortable to have--cough, I mean, a capable official like him. Thus, I don’t blame you. You are a loyal subordinate of Hundred Battle and Yu. I truly understand you.”

He never blamed Longbrow. Longbrow had only been serving his master faithfully, even if his master was somewhat of a failure.

Of the many subordinates under Hundred Battle King, Longbrow was among the true loyalists. He would consider everything from Hundred Battle King’s perspective. Su Yu did not think that he was wrong. Their conflict was merely a result of their opposing camps. That was all.

Longbrow’s face flickered slightly as he smiled weakly despite his dispersing dao power. After coughing a mouthful of blood, he said, ”Emperor Yu...is magnanimous indeed. My lord...used...used to be...great...but...but...he lacked...tempering. He...lost his courage...after meeting the Holy Mother...My lord...can still rise...if he...survives...”

Longbrow kept coughing blood. He turned to look at the fleeing Hundred Battle King and mustered his final bit of strength as he roared, ”Hundred Battle! You were born for battle! You were supposed to fight a hundred battles without losing! Is a Hundred Battle who flees from battle still Hundred Battle? Battle! Battle until the very end! Only then will you remain Hundred Battle! Become the Hundred Battle Emperor!”

Boom!

And then, his dao collapsed fully. Even as his body fell apart, he had a satisfied smile on his face. He was happy enough to have the opportunity to say these last words. His lord was just as great as Su Yu. If Hundred Battle King could survive this battle, he would most certainly return to how he was back then.

As Longbrow’s body fell apart, everything about him was devoured by Su Yu’s world. Hundred Battle King, who was still fleeing, stiffened slightly as numerous memories emerged in his mind.

”You are very talented. You are unrivalled among your peers. You have a bright future ahead of you. As someone who can fight a hundred battles without losing, you shall be called Hundred Battle King if you manage to ascend into the human lord in the future.”

”Are you Longbrow Marquis?”

”Yes. You have keen eyes, Kid. Then again, my eyebrows make this an easy guess. Not bad, Kid. I look forward to seeing what you can achieve in the future.”

”Lord Longbrow, would you be willing to serve me if I were to become the human lord?”

”Hahaha! That is a good ambition to have! If you manage to overcome all competition and become the ninth human lord...you will be the strongest. Nine is the limit, after all. At the time, Longbrow shall become your most faithful subordinate.”

From that day onward, Longbrow Marquis became a staple in his life.

Longbrow represented his will.

For seven thousand years after that meeting, Longbrow had followed him. Even when he abandoned humanity to join Human Ancestor, Longbrow did not abandon him.

”I believe in you, Your Majesty. Nine is the limit. You are the strongest.”

Hundred Battle King shook as a certain realization hit him. He...fled. He didn’t even attempt to save Longbrow. He had abandoned the elder who had served him loyally for seven thousand years.

Yet the said elder had used his final breath to give him one last piece of advice. Hundred Battle King’s face contorted into a grimace. He had the sudden urge to cry.

Had he...changed?

Had he...lost his courage?

”What are you blanking out for? Run! We need to leave this world!”

Beside him, Yu shouted at him.

They were within Su Yu’s world. And Su Yu had received the help of Human Emperor. They were greatly suppressed here. If it wasn’t for the suppression, they would have no reason to fear Su Yu with their strength.

At that, Hundred Battle King resumed his flight. However, his movement was stiff. He glanced at Yu. The one he had viewed as insurmountable...was fleeing as well. He had lost his courage since his first meeting with her. He had thought that she was the strongest. But now that he was looking at her again...she didn’t seem anything special.

She didn’t even dare to face Su Yu, a junior much younger than them. A certain belief in his mind was shattered.

Yu. Nothing special.

In that case, what about the Human Ancestor?

For six thousand years, he had believed firmly in their prowess. He had never doubted that they would win. But no. They were not insurmountable.

He had turned into a deserter for six thousand years. No, he had essentially turned into a traitor. Longbrow was dead. Many of his followers were dead. They all trusted him fully. Yet he trusted others instead of himself.

So he was truly worthless.

Boom!

Another rumble rang out.

”Your Majesty...run!”

Those were Evergreen’s final words.

That was the second Master of Law killed by Su Yu today.

Hundred Battle King’s eyes turned red. Just as he was about to turn around and fight, Yu berated him, ”Keep running! Leave his world! If he dares to follow, we’ll kill him!”

Hundred Battle King’s face twitched slightly, but he said nothing and continued fleeing.

Suddenly, he said, ”If the two of us had joined hands, we could still put up a fight with the help of Evergreen and the others.”

He was right. If Yu hadn’t fled, they could join hands and put up a fight even if Su Yu was borrowing Human Emperor’s strength.

But Yu proceeded to berate him, ”Yes, but one of us might die. Cut the nonsense. A few dead subordinates is nothing. We can raise new subordinates in the future. But when the two of us die, who can take on the task of summoning Human Ancestor back?”

Oh.

So that was her only concern.

Hundred Battle King sank back into silence. This awakening had arrived too late. Evergreen and Longbrow were already dead. It was far too late. He reached out and grabbed Yue Luo, Thunderstorm, and Yue Xiao, who were fleeing behind them. With Yue Luo’s help, Yue Xiao was able to survive despite his heavy injuries.

Yu frowned slightly, but she said nothing.

As for Yue Luo, she smiled. But soon, her smile faded, replaced by despair as she transmitted, ”Flee without us, Your Majesty. I’ll stay and slow him down.”

Hundred Battle King flashed her a stiff smile before transmitting, ”You were a spy planted by her six thousand years ago, right?”

Yue Luo’s face stiffened.

She lowered her head and said nothing.

Hundred Battle King laughed. He had always known. He had never said anything about it. And it was pointless to say anything now.

”When we’re out of this place, run. Run as far as you can.”

Suddenly, Hundred Battle King transmitted, ”As far as possible. Boundless void. Or chaos. Or anywhere you can go. The Myriad Realms...have transformed into a killing field.”

”Your Majesty will ultimately win...”

Yue Luo was greatly alarmed.

”We shall see.”

Hundred Battle King said nothing else.

He would no longer speak of defeat so easily, just like how he was before he met Yu six thousand years ago.
