Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu was akin to the villain of a show, giving chase to the chosen main character while killing the loyal protectors of the main character. Then again, Su Yu had never viewed himself as a good person. Who could truly call themself a good person in this era? What was a good person, and what was a bad person?

It was merely a matter of perspective. The hero of one party would be the villain of the enemy party. That was all. For people like Longbrow and Evergreen, Su Yu was the greatest villain. Su Yu did not have that much of a hatred toward them. As Longbrow said, he was merely serving his master. Unfortunately, his master was not reliable enough.

After fusing the Book of Time with his world, Su Yu was roughly a tier-three Master of Law inside his world. With the infusion of all those Masters of Laws, Su Yu’s strength had skyrocketed to a level near the second tier.

And with the boost from Human Emperor, Su Yu was finally a tier-two Master of Law within his world. Of course, this strength was temporary. Human Emperor’s power was still borrowed power, in the end. Nevertheless, that did not change the fact that at the moment, Su Yu was incredibly powerful.

It wasn’t like this was his first time borrowing the strength of others. This was something he had been doing since the very beginning. From borrowing the strength of the Book of Time to borrowing the strength of Human Emperor, Su Yu did not feel like he was doing anything wrong. Just having the option to borrow external strength was in itself a demonstration of one’s ability.

Yu was by no means a weak opponent. It was likely that she was as strong as Martial Emperor. She would be a powerhouse even during the ancient past. As for Su Yu, with his world as the foundation and the infusion of numerous Masters of Laws, the Book of Time, and Human Emperor’s power, he had also gained a terrifying amount of strength. His world continued expanding as he resumed his pursuit.

They would be much harder to handle after leaving his world. Outside his world, Su Yu would lose the boost from Human Emperor’s power and his world. He might drop to the level of a weaker tier-three Master of Law.

Sure, that was still strong enough for him to face or even defeat Hundred Battle King. But he would definitely not be Yu’s match. He would only be the strongest within his world.

”I have to deal with you today to prevent future troubles.”

Su Yu muttered. And next—Boom!

A burst of lightning power exploded out of Thunderstorm’s body. The explosion hit Hundred Battle King, staggering him slightly. Thunderstorm, who was coughing blood, had a sorrowful look on his face.

He turned back to face Su Yu and sighed, ”Emperor Yu...what an incredible scheme.”

There was a clump of external lightning power inside his body, and it had exploded out of nowhere. He knew when it had entered his body. It had entered his body during his battle with Yue Hao.

Previously, March and Thunderstorm had fought in Su Yu’s world projection. At the time, Su Yu had infused a large amount of lightning power into Thunderstorm’s body, allowing him to grow strong enough to fight Yue Hao. After the event, Thunderstorm had inspected his body, but he found nothing out of place.

But now, he understood that a large amount of lightning power from Su Yu had been hiding inside his body since then. Not only had the explosion injured him, but it had struck even Hundred Battle King.

Behind them, Su Yu said, ”My enemies will never gain any advantage from me. Since I know that you’re with Hundred Battle, it is only natural that I do something with that knowledge.”

How was that surprising?

When Thunderstorm fought in his world previously, he had granted Thunderstorm a large amount of lightning power. With such an opportunity right before him, he would naturally grab it to leave a trap in Thunderstorm’s body.

Thunderstorm had a bitter expression.

Su Yu!

What a terrifying guy. He was incredibly ruthless. At the time, they were still allies. Even so, Su Yu was already scheming against him. On top of the explosion, a large amount of ambient lightning power was reacting to the lightning power inside Thunderstorm’s body to generate even more explosions. With a sigh, Thunderstorm tore the strand of lightning power entangled with Hundred Battle King apart.

As Hundred Battle King blinked, Thunderstorm sighed and said, ”Please leave, Your Majesty. Both the Holy Mother and you are the hope of the giant race. Su Yu is insurmountable here. I will buy some time for the two of you.”

Then, he flew in Su Yu’s direction. He was not alone. Yue Luo also took the chance to escape Hundred Battle King’s grip before flying toward Su Yu. Hundred Battle King’s expression changed.

Yue Luo’s usual seductive laughter rang out, ”The Holy Mother and His Majesty should focus on leaving this world. We will stop him. He may be strong, but it will still take him some time to handle two Masters of Laws.”

Two Masters of Laws were sacrificing themselves to help them escape.

Hundred Battle King’s expression changed again as he looked at Yu. ”We can still join hands to fight Su Yu.”

If they had stayed and fought since the very beginning, Evergreen and Longbrow wouldn’t have died. They could have put up a much better fight with the addition of two Masters of Laws.

But even now, a fight was still possible so long as Yu was willing to fight. Yu was simply too strong. However, Yu continued flying outward. Su Yu’s world had grown large enough to cover almost the entire Upper Realm. Thus, she had a lot of ground to cover.

Furthermore, the speed of her flight was quite slow due to the suppression of the world. She was still quite far away from the area not covered by Su Yu’s world.

Hearing Hundred Battle King’s words, her eyes turned cold as she berated, ”Fool! Outside, I can kill Su Yu alone! What’s the point of fighting him to the death in here? Are you stupid?”

Fighting Su Yu outside was indeed the smarter choice. After all, Su Yu had all the advantages inside his world. Only a fool would face an enemy at their best while one was at one’s weakest.

”Since Yue Luo and Thunderstorm are keeping him busy, we should be taking this chance to escape.”

Yu looked behind her and noted that the two should be able to buy them enough time to escape. No matter what, the two were Masters of Laws. Su Yu wouldn’t be able to easily kill Masters of Laws outside, but here, he could suppress and weaken the two.

Suddenly, Yu stabbed his spear out and shattered the space around her. ”We can also start bombarding his world to drain his strength. That’s far better than fighting him to the death right here.”

Yu’s choice wasn’t wrong. This would guarantee their escape. It wouldn’t be easy for Su Yu to move his world again. After all, it had taken him seven days to move his world from chaos to the Human Mountain.

Now that his world had been cut off from chaos, he would need to intrude upon the Myriad Realms to move his world again. But the Myriad Realms would resist the intrusion. At the time, a sort of balance would be formed between their faction and Su Yu’s faction so long as Su Yu remained inside his world.

And if Su Yu were stupid enough to leave his world, Yu was confident she could kill Su Yu alone. Hundred Battle King said nothing. Right at that moment, Yue Xiao roared and broke free from his grip as well. Once again, he blanked out.

Yue Xiao, with his gray hair, was only a Venerable. In the presence of so many Masters of Laws, he was nothing special. But he had still chosen to break free from Hundred Battle King’s grip. Then, he flew toward Su Yu with no hesitation.

Just as Hundred Battle King was about to reach out, Yue Xiao roared, ”Luo, your elder brother is here to save you!”

Elder brother.

Yue Luo, who was also flying toward Su Yu, stiffened slightly as sorrow flickered in her eyes. ”You...leave!”

”Luo!” Yue Xiao grinned, ”Your elder brother is too useless. Because of me, you were bullied for so many years. Today, let us fight together. Even if we must die, your elder brother will die before you!”

He showed zero hesitation.

Su Yu was expressionless as he said, ”A touching display of love between siblings and a touching display of loyal subordinates dying for their master. I’m jealous, really.”

Regardless, these were still enemies. His ending would be just as tragic if he were the one to be defeated here. Or perhaps his ending would be even more tragic. At that thought, Su Yu suppressed the emotions he was feeling.

His defeat wouldn’t end with only his death. All who had fused into his world might die alongside him. He carried a far heavier burden than these people. His people trusted him. They had all fused with his world with a single command from him. Sparing his enemies just because he was touched was the same as being cruel to both himself and his followers.

At that thought, Su Yu’s heart calmed and regained its previous chill. He knew that Cloud Water Marquis had regretted her choice. But he had to steel his heart and do the right thing. A single wrong mistake could consign him to eternal damnation, even if he was only dealing with a tier-two Daofuse.

One should never underestimate one’s enemies. Su Yu would never underestimate his enemies, regardless of how stupid they seemed. Even now, when the myriad races were fighting Yu Qing and Yue Zhan with their five Masters of Laws, Su Yu was still on high alert against them.

Putting his trust in the promise of his enemies?

Putting his trust in the benevolence of his enemies?

Absolute nonsense.

His fate would be a lot worse if he were the one to be defeated today.

***

Before long, Su Yu reached Yue Luo’s group.

Right at that moment, Hundred Battle King stopped fleeing. Beside him, Yu was about to ignore him and continue fleeing when her vision blurred. All 720 of Hundred Battle King’s acupoints lit up. Then, one of the exploded to launch a forceful teleportation. Instantly, both Hundred Battle King and Yu were teleported to Yue Luo’s side.

”Hundred Battle!”

A furious roar rang out. Yu pushed her aura to the maximum as she glared at Hundred Battle King frostily.

However, Hundred Battle King was no longer showing his customary fear toward her. Indifference covered his face, as though he had returned to how he was prior to their encounter. He said nonchalantly, ”There is no escape. It’s pointless for you to rage at me right now. Start worrying about Su Yu instead. Are you going to fight me here and allow Su Yu to benefit from a clash between us?”

The human lord who had reigned all those years ago seemed to have returned. Facing the incoming Su Yu, he smiled and said, ”Su Yu, you are...so young.”

He was envious of that youth.

Beside him, Yu was ashen-faced. She summoned her Human Gate, seemingly intending to try fleeing again. However, Hundred Battle King summoned his Human Gate as well, suppressing the space around them to prevent any attempt at escape.

”Yu.” Hundred Battle King said, ”Only death awaits if you continue fleeing. Join hands with me, and there is still hope for you to survive. Fight or die. If you keep fleeing, I will join hands with Su Yu and kill you first.”

”You dare?” Yu roared furiously, ”Are you revolting against us?”

Hundred Battle King answered with the same calm in his voice, ”Nope. Changing my position at this point is pure stupidity. I am already a traitor. Betraying my new allies will render the deaths of all those brothers of mine pointless. I can only proceed on this path until the very end. However, you will join me in this battle.”

Yu had an unsightly expression.

”Fool! I told you! He won’t be our match outside!”

She was furious. Escape had been possible! They only needed to leave and Su Yu would not be their match anymore! Why did this idiot do something so stupid at such a critical moment?

Hundred Battle King laughed, ”How can you be so sure about that? It hasn’t been long since Su Yu’s rise. He accomplished such incredible feats at such a young age. He is a Creator. How much do we understand a Creator? Don’t judge others based on your own standards. That is even more so when it involves a creator.”

Hundred Battle King returned his gaze to Su Yu and said, ”I had been underestimating you. Even knowing that you might have created a world, I still believed that your creation was merely a joke with how weak you were. But now...reality has proven that I am but a mere frog under the well.”

”You’re right. I might be much older than you, but I...lack tempering. I have never experienced true despair. Today, I managed to experience a tiny bit of it.” Hundred Battle King chuckled, ”Only now do I understand that compared to that previous fear of mine, true despair is a lot more terrifying.

”Back then, I cowered in fear after meeting Yu. Today, you shattered that fear I held toward her.”
