Tribulation of Myriad Races

The destruction of the net caused Bisuo to cough a mouthful of blood. Shock covered his eyes.

"Mountainsea..."

Mountainsea! Was this human a Mountainsea? No, first divine...

Sky Sundering Saber…

The silkwyrm was greatly confused. Right at that moment, an incorporeal entity shot into his sea of willpower. He wailed in pain as the invader started dashing all over his sea of willpower.

As for Lei Jue, he had gathered most of his strength in his spear. Noticing the strength Su Yu was emitting, his expression changed.

"This is..."

He didn't have the time to think. With so much power gathered in his spear, he couldn't even run. His only option was to attack and kill Su Yu with a single strike. If he attempted to flee in such a situation, he would definitely die.

"Life Eradicating Lightning!"

With a roar, he released his spear. A blinding spear soared into the sky and illuminated the entire Skyrend Valley. Sounds of rumbling thunder could be heard all over the Skyrend Valley.

Next, a massive saber soared into the sky. The overbearing saber emptied the area several kilometers around it of saber qi. Instantly, the white mist and saber qi covering the area cleared up, revealing the true appearance of the area for the first time in many years.

Coincidentally, Huang Teng was also unleashing his saber attack far away from them at the same time. But when he tried to gather the saber qi of the grotto, he started cursing.

Holy shit!

What the fuck was the other fellow doing? Why was that fellow absorbing so much saber qi? Because of that, all the saber qi in the valley started rushing over to fill the void created by that fellow. Even the prowess of Huang Teng's saber strike dropped by about ten percent due to that.

Opposite Huang Teng, Tianduo was first shocked when he sensed the saber far away from them. But soon, he was relieved. It would seem like not even the heavens were on Huang Teng's side.

Huang Teng did not have the time to think much. He swung his sword and emptied the area around him of saber qi. Similarly, the effect of his saber spread kilometers away. One south and one north, the two humans had instantly absorbed about one-tenth of the saber qi in the valley.

In fact, Su Yu had absorbed much more saber qi than Huang Teng. He was attacking with the strength of a Mountainsea. At that moment, his physical strength went beyond ten thousand acupoints, far beyond even Huang Teng's strength.

Two brilliant sabers soared through the sky.

Su Yu's saber was the bigger and longer one.

Everyone in the valley saw how a lightning spear was cut into two by that saber. Immediately after that, sounds of thunder rang out. The spear might have been broken, but it still managed to release a rain of lightning on Su Yu.

Rumble!

It was time for the lightning character to showcase its power. This was what Su Yu had been waiting for. After advancing into the fourth tier, his lightning character would have the strength of a Mountainsea. Su Yu himself might not be a Mountainsea yet, but his character was still able to dissolve a majority of the lightning hitting him before absorbing the remaining lightning into itself.

Additionally, the lightning character was able to further strengthen itself with the absorbed lightning. Nevertheless, this was still the full-powered attack of a divine near the Mountainsea Realm. Even after being greatly weakened, it still caused Su Yu to cough a mouthful of blood. His skin was also torn open by the lightning blast.

And right at that moment, the saber landed. It decimated everything in its path.

Boom!

Sounds of explosions filled the valley. Su Yu had utilized the strength of a Mountainsea and the saber qi of Great Xia King. One could only imagine just how powerful that attack was. Lei Jue was still in the air when his aura faded into nothingness and his sea of willpower collapsed completely.

His eyes were opened wide with disbelief. The lightning symbol on his forehead slowly faded away.

Staring at Su Yu, he said, "Are you...Su Yu?"

He wanted to know the name of his killer. As for Su Yu’s ability to utilize the strength of a Mountainsea and the First Divine Art, none of that mattered. Lei Jue was going to die. He only wanted to know the name of his killer.

Su Yu smiled. His hair was standing due to the previous lightning attack. A large hole was visible on his chest. He answered, "Yes. It's me."

Su Yu!

Lei Jue was the strongest opponent he had ever killed. This was someone with the combat strength of a Mountainsea. Since this fellow was going to die, as a kind man, Su Yu naturally had to fulfill his last wish.

After answering the question, Su Yu started praising his kindness for not keeping the truth from his dying opponent. Of course, he was also doing this so that Lei Jue could pass away in peace. It wouldn't be nice if Lei Jue somehow ended up as a ghost and went looking for the real Cui Lang, right?

Lei Jue was satisfied with the answer. Slowly, life faded from his eyes. He had fought in the Allheaven Battlefield for more than ten years. Ultimately, he met his end here in this valley. From the first moment he stepped into the Allheaven Battlefield, he had accepted the possibility that something like this would happen. This was the mindset of all geniuses. Either they rose or they fell. Those were the only possibilities they would accept.

There was nothing to regret. Since Su Yu was more capable than him, he would die. If he was the one to kill Su Yu, it would only mean that he was the more capable one. Such was the life of a genius.

First, Lei Jue's body split into two. Then, the two halves exploded into nothingness. Su Yu reached out and grabbed the falling storage ring. His blood character activated, gathering the blood in the air.

Then, Su Yu coughed a mouthful of blood before swinging his hammer at the nearby silkwyrm. With one hit, the silkwyrm was stunned, giving the furball the chance to finally unleash his assault. Previously, he was in a deadlock with the silkwyrm.

With one bite from the furball, the silkwyrm wailed in pain. Su Yu ignored the fuss beside him. A massive clump of cloud had appeared in the sky. Instantly, the cloud entered his body. This time, he received an incomparably powerful clump of willpower as a reward.

It was not a character, heavenly source qi, or something else. It was willpower.

Su Yu also noted that the saber that had appeared on the other side of the valley seemed to have suddenly dimmed, but he was completely unbothered. Yeah, yeah, Huang Teng was also attacking at the same time. How was that his business? He had to kill his opponent.

It wasn't like Huang Teng would have been able to kill his opponent even without the interference. Also, Su Yu was the one who had drained the divine power to strengthen the saber qi while Huang Teng had not contributed to that. Thus, Su Yu believed that he was entitled to more of the saber qi. He did not feel guilty about interfering with Huang Teng's attack.

His sea of willpower started to absorb the willpower rewarded by the heavens. In the blink of an eye, his willpower started growing in strength. He instantly reached the second-stage Cloudbreach Realm.

Instead of enjoying the advancement, Su Yu hurriedly hammered himself and compressed his willpower. Why advance? After advancement, the heavens would be even stingier with the heavenly rewards. An advancement would only reduce the level he would skip by killing the same opponent by one. How could he allow that? He would remain at the first stage!

He was not done growing his characters. All his characters and apertures were also busy absorbing the rewarded willpower.

Su Yu thus forcefully tempered himself back to the first stage. Despite remaining in the same stage, his strength had actually increased. Suddenly, he swung his saber casually.

The silkwyrm, who was on the verge of complete willpower collapse, was easily cut into two. The little furball was quite impressive for pushing the silkwyrm into such a miserable condition.

With the death of the silkwyrm, the little furball hurriedly shot out of the silkwyrm's sea of willpower and dove into Su Yu's sea of willpower. Once inside, he madly absorbed the rewarded willpower. As far as he was concerned, that was his! Mr. Yummy had promised to pay him back after stealing his willpower earlier!

The little furball absorbed greedily. This time, Su Yu did not stop the little furball. It was true that he had taken from the little furball earlier. He didn't mind repaying some of his debt. Only some. If the little furball dared to get too greedy, he wouldn't hesitate to use his hammer.

Su Yu proceeded to collect the silkwyrm corpse, the threads of silk in the area, and Lei Jue's broken spear. So many treasures! As the area around him had been emptied of saber qi, he was actually able to see outside the valley clearly.

Shortly after, several figures started approaching the area. The weaker ones were naturally not courageous enough to approach. The first person to arrive was a white dragon with nine claws. Long Zhan of the dragon race.

Shortly after, An Mintian arrived as well. He stared at Su Yu from afar.

With a nonchalant smile, Su Yu transformed into a gust of wind and vanished. Neither Long Zhan nor An Mintian gave chase. A grave expression covered their faces.

An Mintian suddenly shouted, "With such a level of Sky Sundering Saber and the ability to unleash the power of a Mountainsea without being a Mountainsea...just who are you? Were you using an ability blood essence? You are not Cui Lang!"

"Ability blood essence?" A genius further away heard that and exclaimed, "Ability blood essence...that is the secret skill of Human Realm's multiple character faction! Or to be specific, Great Xia's multiple character faction!"

That was not Cui Lang. He absolutely wasn't.

At that moment, a certain figure arrived from afar. While flying in the air, that person roared, "Run!"

The newcomer, who was clad in black armor and mounted atop a flying sky tiger, flew toward the Skyrend Valley and added, "Fools. That's Su Yu. Who else could it be?"

What a bunch of fools. It was only a matter of time before that was exposed. Sky Sundering Saber and ability blood essence. Who else could it be? They would know the answer just by asking a random human. Only these fools would continue wondering who that human was.

The youth in black armor did not seem fearful of An Mintian. In fact, he was flying toward An Mintian. And An Mintian fled unhesitatingly. The newcomer was none other than Qin Fang. And he was not a match for Qin Fang.

Even if Qin Fang's cultivation level was a lot lower than his, he was the number one genius of humanity. His offensive prowess was too great. An Mintian had the courage to pursue Huang Teng, but he definitely didn't dare to do the same to Qin Fang.

Qin Fang ignored the fleeing An Mintian. He was merely passing by. When he shouted to run earlier, that was not directed to An Mintian. Rather, it was to a fleeing figure in the distance. Far away from them, Huang Teng blanked out. Since Qin Fang was there, why should they run?

"Kill them! Qin Fang, where are you going?"

"Run!"

Qin Fang shouted once again before increasing his speed. Huang Teng was stunned. He clenched his teeth and dragged Wu Qi off. Why were they running? Holy shit! Couldn't they work together? They were very strong! Also, why was Su Yu running as well? Come back and fight!

More importantly, why the hell were they running westward? That was the direction of the Heavendoom City. Were these people dumb? Why were they running that way? That thought had barely crossed his mind when his expression changed drastically. Like Qin Fang, he urgently increased his speed and ran westward.

The human geniuses were fleeing one after another, but the people in the valley didn't dare to give chase. Every one of these human geniuses was capable of killing Mountainseas. They did not have the courage to challenge such opponents.

As for why those humans were running...

The people in the valley were confused as well. In fact, Tianduo and An Mintian had been worried that these humans would join hands against them. That would put them in a lot of trouble. But surprisingly, all the humans had fled instead.

But immediately after, they understood why.

A different individual with long, purple hair had arrived.

"Mo Duona!"

Someone trembled. Mo Duona, number one on the Heaven Index! Finally, they understood. Why was Qin Fang running? Because Mo Duona was behind him.

Huang Teng was also crying without tears. Holy shit! He finally understood why Qin Fang was absent from the valley. Holy shit. How did that fellow get involved with Mo Duona? That fellow had killed a seventh-stage Mountainsea before. No human below the Mountainsea Realm could be his match.

That was someone who had killed a seventh-stage Mountainsea as a seventh-stage Cloudbreach. Even Bai Tianhao had only killed a seventh-stage Mountainsea as a ninth-stage Cloudbreach with his life as the price. Meanwhile, Mo Duona was completely fine after killing that seventh-stage Mountainsea. And this fellow had probably reached the eighth or ninth stage by now.

It was rumored that after killing the Mountainsea, he received an earth weapon as the heavenly reward. The weapon was incomparably powerful. They stood no chance against this opponent. What could they do but run?

As for Su Yu, it wasn't too surprising that he was running as well. After his previous saber strike, he had almost emptied his strength. His sole option was to run. And perhaps he had somehow sensed the approaching crisis in the east. Thus, he was also running westward.

Reality proved that he made the right choice. Initially, he wanted to run eastward and return to the human territory. But right after he started moving eastward, his tribulation character pulsed madly. Alarmed, he could only move westward while gloomily wondering about the reason. Lei Jue was dead. Why couldn't he head east?

High in the sky.

With a casual glance at the spot Lei Jue was killed, Mo Duona smiled and asked, "Lei Jue is dead. An Mintian, who did it?"

"Cui...no, S-Su Yu..."

An Mintian was quite nervous. He was a second-stage divine, but he was actually so nervous before a seventh-stage Cloudbreach devil. Something like this had never happened before.

"Su Yu?"

Mo Duona recalled something when he heard that name and laughed, "Interesting. Huang Teng, Su Yu, and Qin Fang. All of them are here. Let's take a look. As long as we kill all of them, the human race will lose the foundation of an entire generation."

Leaving those words behind, he continued flying westward. Could the humans escape him?

Silence descended.

Everyone was still trying to process what they just learned.

Lei Jue was dead. The killer was Cui Lang. No, it was Su Yu. Qin Fang had arrived, but he fled faster than anyone. Why? Because Mo Duona was behind him. Tianduo had failed to kill Huang Teng. And the saber qi in the Skyrend Valley had dropped considerably in intensity. Perhaps this valley would stop being a danger zone after this.

At the same time, some of them finally noticed the changes in the index.

Cui Lang, first-stage Cloudbreach, fifth on the Earth Index.

Past accomplishments: Killing a ninth-stage Cloudbreach

Fifth on the Earth Index!

But that was if that human was really Cui Lang. What if it was Su Yu?

Everyone realized that the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had yet to verify the identity of that human. Or to be precise, not even the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion knew if Cui Lang was Su Yu. Otherwise, with a single change of age, the ranking would change drastically.

"Humans...divines...devils..."

Some of the geniuses started leaving hastily. This was not an affair they could participate in. Even the freak from the Heaven Index was here. This was too terrifying. Neither Qin Fang nor Mo Duona was an opponent regular Mountainseas could afford to challenge. Even Huang Teng was not an easy opponent.

And now, a mysterious human had also emerged. This was a super genius who had killed Lei Jue. Even the geniuses who had freshly entered the Mountainsea Realm were starting to get wary of him.

All those freaks were heading westward, where several ancient cities stood.
