Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 898: Kill A Mountainsea For Fun (1)

In front of the Heavendoom City.

Su Yu was busy reading the information he received from the masked man. Fortunately, there was an explanation about the gate.

Nine gates.

Most of these ancient cities had nine gates in total, with one of them being the main gate. It was rumored that if one entered through the main gate, one would encounter something different in the city. That was why Mo Duona was entering through the main gate. Furthermore, it would be much safer for one to enter through the main gate.

Qin Fang and Huang Teng had both advised against staying more than three days. In these ancient cities, weird things would happen once one stayed more than three days. Some of them would go missing, never to be found again.

Some would die mysterious deaths.

Some would go mad, while some would turn into cripples for no apparent reason. Anything was possible.

This was especially true for the geniuses from the major races as bad luck would hit them much harder than those from the minor races. As for the source of these occurrences, no explanation was given. To sum it up, one had to leave within three days.

But if one entered through the main gate, the level of danger one would face would be reduced considerably. However, not everyone was capable of walking through the main gate. The gate would always remain open, but strength, talent, and luck were required to go through it. Strength alone was not sufficient.

One thing was certain. It was much easier for a young genius to go through the main gate compared to a senior expert. Even a Skysoar might be able to walk through the main gate while a Sunmoon might fail. In short, these main gates were mysterious existences.

Dangers and opportunities could be found in these ancient cities.

There was also one phenomenon unique to the ancient cities. If one became a permanent resident of an ancient city, the three-day limit would no longer apply for that person within that city. How could one become a permanent resident?

That was easy. One could find an unoccupied house and move in. Every night, toss a jade talisman laced with one's blood outside. After three consecutive days, one would become a permanent resident.

At that point, one would be able to stay in the city for a long time. A lot of such individuals resided in these ancient cities. As for the effects of becoming a permanent resident, Su Yu had no answer. No explanation was provided in the jade talisman given by the masked man. But he had a feeling that it wouldn't be something good. It was still a good idea to leave within three days.

After all, both Qin Fang and Huang Teng had reminded him of the same thing. Not more than three days.

As for why these ancient cities were recommended as places of refuge, it was because once inside, one could find an unoccupied house and hide inside for three days. These ancient cities were extremely unique. Nobody could open the door of a house once it was occupied by someone. An occupied house would remain indestructible.

Thus, someone running from enemies could hide inside one of these empty houses. It would not be easy for their opponents to find them. These ancient cities were basically asylum centers. Of course, this was still not a guarantee of safety. After all, one would be forced to leave within three days. Thus, their enemies only needed to wait outside the city for three days.

"It is not advisable to use force inside an ancient city. Do not provoke the permanent residents of an ancient city. This is only applicable inside an ancient city."

Only applicable inside an ancient city! Su Yu took note of that. He looked at the pedestrians near the numerous city gates, wondering if these were permanent residents or mere guests. As for the two victims of Mo Duona, were they guests or residents? Then again, the two had been killed outside the city. Thus, there would probably be no consequences.

A large number of vagrants could be found in these ancient cities. Some of them were unwilling to become residents, so they would always stay in these cities for three days before leaving and entering again. That was why the vicinity of these ancient cities was always so busy.

As for the issue of space, that was not an issue. Each ancient city had enough buildings to house tens of millions of people. Thus, there was no need to fear that one wouldn't be able to find an empty house after entering the city. There would always be some empty houses available.

The information from the masked man also advised him against going too deep into the city. The deeper it was, the more dangerous it would get. Generally, these ancient cities had a spherical layout.

At the center of the city was the mayor's residence, with ring after ring spreading outward before ending at the thirty-sixth ring. The further one was from the center, the safer it was.

Generally, visitors would only reside in the outer rings. These people were not here to seek any fortuitous encounters. They only needed a place to rest and take a break from the chaos and slaughter in the Allheaven Battlefield.

Even the permanent residents would be concentrated in the outer rings. Only a small number of people would reside in the inner rings.

"The more I look at this, the more mysterious it seems."

Su Yu was very surprised. The Allheaven Battlefield was filled with Invincibles. Just the human race alone had dozens of Invincibles in the Allheaven Battlefield. The divines, devils, immortals, and demonic beasts would have a lot as well. There were also the other top 100 races, each with at least one Invincible. Thus, one could surmise that there were a lot of Invincibles around.

With so many Invincibles, was it possible that the myriad races still knew so little about these ancient cities? At worst, they only needed to flip a city upside down and search it thoroughly for its secrets, right?

Suddenly, a ruckus erupted.

"He's through!"

"Someone went through the main gate!"

"Mo Duona is truly terrifying."

"He's too strong."

Su Yu looked over and saw Mo Duona standing with his back to the door. Devilflame continued dancing around him. He turned and looked outside, "Su Yu or Cui Lang. It doesn't matter who you are. Let's have some fun in the city. It would be too much of a regret to not enter an ancient city after entering the Allheaven Battlefield. These ancient cities are very interesting. Previously, I entered the Heavenchance City and stayed in the eighteenth ring. That was an interesting experience. Don't you want to give it a try as well?"

Su Yu did not feel much hearing those words, but the others were greatly shocked. The eighteenth ring was essentially halfway into the core of the city.

"This time, I'll go deeper. The benefits you can gain here won't be worse than what you can get from killing others."

Then, Mo Duona turned and started walking deeper into the city. Killing Su Yu, killing Qin Fang, and killing Huang Teng. Why would he want to do those things? To gain more strength.

One would be mistaken to think that he only wanted to do that to eliminate the rival of the devil race. The human Invincibles were still alive and well. One should stop dreaming about eliminating an entire race by eliminating their young geniuses.

The actual fact was that the younger generation was only fighting each other for the sake of strength. Dao affirmation was their ultimate goal.

To become an Invincible. To become an overlord of their race.

To sweep unhindered through all realms.

Finally, Su Yu stepped out of concealment. His face warped as it returned to his real appearance. Since his name was already listed in the Heaven Index, he no longer cared about hiding his appearance.

In any case, Invincibles would rarely visit ancient cities. Furthermore, it was very rare for Invincibles to make a move against a young genius. That was an unspoken rule everyone obeyed to avoid a situation where all young geniuses were forced to hide in their own realms to prevent assassinations from Invincibles.

Of course, Su Yu was also quite lucky. At the moment, Hong Tan alone was catching all the attention. Not even Liu Wenyan was as eye-catching as him. The multiple character faction had produced their disassembly method. Meanwhile, Su Yu's cultivation methods had already been released. Even if he had a very high potential of growing into a troublesome Invincible, his level of importance was still second to Hong Tan.

Meanwhile, Liu Wenyan's level of importance had dropped to the third place. There was also Zhou Polong who had attracted a lot of attention recently.

The moment Su Yu appeared, some of the people nearby rushed into the city. When Su Yu looked over, he noted that those were the mystic armors. Their conspicuous forms were very easy to recognize.

Heavendoom City.

He remembered that back then, Red Armor had introduced himself as someone from the Heavendoom City. In that case, was this place a territory of the mystic armors? That shouldn't be the case, right?

There were even some humans outside the city. A human grandpa suddenly yelled at him, "Lad, are you going to enter the city? Run. You must be Cui Lang...or Su Yu who has killed Green Armor and Red Armor, right? Just run. The mystic armor race has a base nearby. Some of them are also based in the city. Some left not long ago to look for you. They have yet to return..."

Su Yu was quite surprised. He grew even more curious. Inside these ancient cities, everyone would live in harmony with each other. Even humans, divines, and devils wouldn't fight inside these cities. Something like that was very rarely seen. That was because nobody could predict the consequences of making a move inside these ancient cities.

Su Yu laughed, "Thanks for the reminder. But they won't be able to do anything after I enter the city, right?"

The grandpa nodded, "Yes, but you'll need to leave the city sooner or later, right? Don't end up trapped in the city. It is very dangerous to stay more than three days. There is a mystic armor Sunmoon nearby..."

Su Yu indifferently said, "Sunmoon? What's the big deal about the mystic armor race? They don't have the courage to kill the geniuses of other races. Are they trying to push the human race around? Sunmoon? Are they not afraid of revenge from our Invincibles?"

The grandpa didn't know what to say. Would the human Invincibles make a move for this fellow? He was unsure of the treatment geniuses at this level would get.

After all, the grandpa himself was not a genius. Nevertheless, he was already a Mountainsea after spending so many years in the Allheaven Battlefield. He asked, "Kid, can you really get our Invincibles to make a move? That would actually be nice. It is very rare to see the Invincibles of our race...act."

He sighed.

Life was very hard for a human out there. The human race had a lot of Invincibles. And these Invincibles were also quite strong. However, due to the suppression of the divines, devils, and demonic beasts, the human Invincibles were forced to stay only in their own territory. They were quite active to the east of the Eastrift Valley.

But they rarely did anything west of the Eastrift Valley. Even a place like the Skyrend Valley had only been created hundreds of years ago during the peak of the war against humanity. Thus, the human race was not comparable to the divine, devil, immortal, and demonic beast races in terms of power projection.
