Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1037: Su Yu Is Dead? (1)

The mayor was going to offer everyone shelter? Su Yu's eyes flickered. Perhaps this would be a chance for him. Were there any lone experts in the city? He needed one that was not too strong. A Mountainsea or even a Cloudbreach would do.

There were still quite a lot of people in the city. Apart from the experts who had arrived because of him, there were also a lot of unaffiliated cultivators who had been inside the city prior to the auction. All of them were currently hiding inside the ancient buildings all over the city.

Due to the high number of death spirits in the city, they were unlikely to have the courage to step out. Would they finally find the courage to come out with the mayor's offer?

Suddenly, a different voice rang out, "Lord Mayor, does the offer extend to people from minor races like us?"

That was a Mountainsea. He had opened the door of his shelter to ask that question. Nervousness and despair could be seen all over his face. They had concluded that they might die alongside Su Yu in this disaster. The Invincibles would not hold back for their sake when killing Su Yu.

In fact, the Sunmoon death spirits in the city had already killed some of them earlier. If they remained, the death spirits would increase in number and open more of these occupied buildings. They would all die. The mayor's residence was the sole haven.

A different voice protested, "That is unacceptable! Su Yu is good at disguises. If he hides amid the crowd, things might get troublesome."

"Why?" A different person asked in despair, "This is a conflict between the divines, devils, and humans. Why must we die for your conflict? Why must we suffer the consequences for something completely unrelated to us?"

That was a voice filled with despair and indignation. As members of minor races, it hadn't been easy for them to reach their current cultivation. Even so, they were still among the weakest of the same cultivation levels in the Allheaven Battlefield. And now, they even had to die in a conflict unrelated to them. This was injustice!

A different voice roared with desperation, "My race has a large number of Sunmoons as well! Today, you can sacrifice all of us. Tomorrow, our Sunmoons will view all of you with hatred! The major races might be strong, but if all the minor races join hands, we can also flip the sky upside down!"

"Heh."

A member from a major race sneered. How dare people from weak races without even a single Invincible make such a statement? Join hands? What could they accomplish without any Invincible?

The Thousand Region Alliance was strong, right? But they could only protect themselves with great difficulty. Apart from that, they were incapable of achieving anything else. They would still be left at the mercy of the major races. As minor races, they were fated to end up as either vassals or slaves.

These major race experts couldn't even be bothered to give any reply. Nobody would care if all those weaklings were to die here. It was more important for them to prevent Su Yu from slipping into the mayor's residence alongside the crowd.

Some of the crueler ones even thought that if these weaklings were really allowed to enter, they should kill all of them instead. Better safe than sorry. They would not be able to sleep well knowing Su Yu was still alive out there. To kill Su Yu, they were more than willing to sacrifice these weaklings.

"Stop being noisy."

"Just hide indoors. You might survive if you're lucky." An expert coldly said, "And if you're unlucky, just pray."

"Damn it!"

Someone roared furiously upon hearing that. This person was standing inside his building with only the door open. But before he could say more, a beam shot through him and ended his life. He was a Mountainsea.

At the same time, the seventh-stage Sunmoon from the divine skywing race withdrew his bow with an indifferent expression. He had easily killed the Mountainsea from far away. Naturally, the death spawned a Mountainsea death spirit. But the Sunmoon showed no fear. It wasn't like this was the first Mountainsea death spirit to appear today.

Silence finally returned.

Despair, fury, and fear filled with city.

Yes, it was hard for these Sunmoons to kill Su Yu. But that was simply because he was too good at hiding. They would have no problem killing these Mountainseas and Cloudbreaches. Leaving their doors open was the same as courting death.

Countless doors slammed shut again. They were only protected by death spirits when they were standing inside their buildings, but that did not apply to the living when their doors were open.

Their anger did not matter. There was nothing they could do. That was how things had always been. If the major races found you noisy, they wouldn't even waste their time saying anything. They would simply silence you through death. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

***

Inside his building, Su Yu snorted lightly.

These people were willing to do anything to get him killed. Then again, he did not pity those from the minor races who were caught in the crossfire.

This was the type of era they were living in. The weak would be the prey to the strong. If one was weak, one would be helpless. If one was really afraid, one should just stay out of the Allheaven Battlefield.

The moment someone decided to step into the Allheaven Battlefield, one would either kill or be killed. The hands of these minor race experts were definitely stained with blood. They wouldn't have been able to reach their current cultivation levels otherwise.

If they didn't want to die, their only option was to grow strong. Su Yu's belief in the importance of his own strength grew even stronger. He would only be truly safe when he grew strong enough to kill anyone trying to kill him.

As his belief strengthened, his willpower firmed. His sea of willpower stabilized, further strengthening the foundation of his cultivation.

This was how things were for cultural researchers. When one strengthened one's belief, or when one was inspired by something, one's willpower cultivation would be affected.

At that moment, Su Yu stepped into the seventh-stage Cloudbreach Realm after fully draining his third Invincible note. His body was also on the way toward completing the fortieth forging.

If he killed someone yet again, the Heavenly Hunt Index would take his new cultivation level into consideration. There was even a possibility of him dropping from the first place due to his increased cultivation level.

After all, his feat of killing Sunmoons previously was not achieved through his own strength. His increased cultivation might weaken the weight of that feat, resulting in a drop in rank. But that was only a possibility.

Su Yu was in no rush. For him, the ranks on the Heaven Index did not matter. After seeing these late-stage Sunmoons and Invincibles, the Heaven Index was nothing. As far as he was concerned, even the Dao Affirmation Ranking was more prestigious.

Inside his sea of willpower, his characters shone brightly while his apertures were strengthened to the absolute limit. Before long, ten drops of sunmoon profound yellow liquid were consumed. This was a large amount even for actual Sunmoons.

Inside Su Yu's sea of willpower, the apertures shone resplendently, akin to multiple suns on a single sky. Suddenly, twenty-five of his characters came together to form a saber. The saber manifested in his hand as he swung it forward.

Whoosh!

His willpower rippled out and collided against the walls. After a short moment, his body completed the fortieth forging with a rumble. Only a day and a night had passed yet he had completed ten body forgings. He had exhausted 140 drops of heavenearth profound light for this. The expenditure was actually slightly lower than expected, but there was no denying that this was a scarily expensive cultivation session.

At that moment, the strength of his body had surpassed eighty thousand acupoints. Subsequent body forgings would be even harder, slower, and more expensive. He opened his door slightly and noted that a constant stream of experts could be seen flying toward the mayor's residence.

There were major race experts and some minor race Sunmoons among them. The major race experts could kill minor race Mountainseas easily. But that was not the case for Sunmoons.

The minor race Sunmoons stayed in a group with solemn expressions. They did not dare to approach the major race experts, but they still remained near the mayor's residence. At this point, even the Sunmoon death spirits were starting to die. If they remained outside the mayor's residence, death could be very possible.

None of them wanted to die. Not when they had worked so hard for their current cultivation levels.

Su Yu spied on them in silence. He had grown a lot stronger, but he was still weaker than these Sunmoons. Nevertheless, he had probably grown strong enough to consume the blood essence of Mountainseas at the eighth or even the ninth stage without any issue.

If he opened his yang acupoint, he could probably consume even the blood essence of first-stage Sunmoons. He started wondering if he should kill some Sunmoons. The difficulty would be high.

Or perhaps he could kill some peak Mountainsea death spirits to spawn more Sunmoon death spirits. Perhaps this would keep those experts busy and prevent them from entering the mayor's residence.

While thinking about all that, he left his building and transformed into a death spirit. He started moving toward the mayor's residence. At the moment, a large number of death spirits were heading there as well.

Before long, Su Yu arrived near a group of divines. There were three divine experts in this group. They consisted of Zhan Wushuang and two late-stage Sunmoons.

While the three were flying toward the mayor's residence, they did not forget to inspect the death spirits around them. They even killed some of the death spirits nearby. Since they were going to be taking shelter in the mayor's residence, they were no longer worried about increasing the number of death spirits in the city.

Compared to the experts during the Heavendoom City incident, they were a lot more relaxed. There were simply too many experts in the city. The death spirits were unable to threaten them. Up until now, only a single middle-stage Sunmoon death spirit had appeared. That was still not enough to harm these powerful Sunmoons.

Su Yu did not dare to get too near. After observing them in silence for a bit, he left. There was no hope of success. Ignoring the two high-stage Sunmoons, just Zhan Wushuang alone might be more than a match for him. That was someone who had once killed a Sunmoon.

Su Yu started moving toward the devils instead. But after a single glance at them from afar, he gave up and moved away instead. This group of devils was even more powerful than the group of divines.

Mo Duona had even shot him a glance. Alarmed, he could only hurriedly distance himself from them.

Meanwhile, Mo Duona was looking at the mass of death spirits with a frown. In truth, there was a sort of vague connection between these top geniuses. Just moments ago, something among the death spirits had triggered Mo Duona's senses.

Was it Su Yu? He was unsure, but he said nothing. If he said something, Su Yu would most definitely die in the hands of a Sunmoon. That would have nothing to do with him. Since it would have nothing to do with him, why bother?

Meanwhile, the two Sunmoons beside him did not feel anything. That was mainly because Su Yu still couldn't threaten them yet.

Shortly after, Su Yu arrived near the dragons. Similarly, he found no opening. At that point, he could already see Qin Hao, who was standing in front of the mayor's residence. He also saw Zhu Guangshen and the other humans, but he couldn't say anything.

There was no way to use voice transmission undetected in the presence of so many experts. More and more experts gathered in front of the mayor's residence. That greatly increased the pressure on Qin Hao and the others.

Even Ancient Mountain stepped forth and said, "Qin Hao, this is pointless. I'm not worried about dying myself, but if this continues, your group will have to fight everyone in the city."

He was indeed not worried. He was essentially an Invincible in waiting. Regardless of his rank, his name was still on the Dao Affirmation Ranking. These were all peak Sunmoons. They wouldn't die so easily.

In fact, Ancient Mountain only wanted to enter the mayor's residence out of curiosity. He wanted to take a look at the stone statue in the residence.
