Chapter 1663: War Of Extermination (3)
Great Yue King had perished.
In the sky, his projection appeared. The projection was gazing to the east, the direction of his home.
Slowly, he walked toward the east with a smile. He was going home.
For a hundred thousand years, humanity had fought and fought. Many had died away from home.
Great Yue King had never been a warlike person.
Alas, circumstances had forced him to fight.
Over four hundred years ago, he only wanted to become a wealthy local tycoon. That year, Great Qin King visited him, beat him up, and forced him to join the war against the myriad races.
In that war, he was a cowardly person. Often, he would hide behind the stronger combatants.
Eventually, the war ended.
He became a founding king. The founder of Great Yue. The protector of millions upon millions of people. He became the god of Great Yue. At that thought, he had the urge to laugh in amusement. God?
No. He only wanted to be a local tycoon. Would anyone believe that?
He had done many things when the world was in chaos.
Killing humans. Killing divines. Killing devils. Official source ıs novel✦fire.net
He was no saint.
Yet he had answered Great Qin King's call yet again. And finally, he had fallen. Fallen away from home.
He laughed.
"Qin Guang, Zhou Tianqi, both of you are bastards. Why should I obey you? Hahaha!"
While roaring with laughter, he took one final step forward before fading into nothingness. His final shred of consciousness had dissipated away.
He had long wanted to scold the two bastards to their faces.
Far away, Great Zhou King and Great Qin King remained expressionless, but their eyes reddened slightly.
Yet another of their old friends had departed this world.
Ning Hong, the human Invincible who had died earlier, was much younger. He was not one of the older Invincibles who had been fighting together since the very beginning. However, Great Yue King was different. He was someone who had been by their side since the very start.
"Kill!"
Great Qin King roared in fury and attacked madly.
Meanwhile, the ninth-degree celestial chasm Eternal was gravely injured by Great Yue King's final attack. The explosion had barely settled when five furious human Invincibles roared and attacked him from all directions.
In the blink of an eye, he had lost a body.
The two remaining bodies emerged at the same time before charging the human Invincibles madly.
At the same time, a distant celestial chasm Invincible was killed by both Great Tang King and Great Shang King. Done with their opponent, the two charged toward the ninth-degree celestial chasm Eternal as well.
***
Human Realm.
The moment the crown was set on Su Yu's head, the entire Human Realm shook slightly. In response, the crown shook as well. The shaking was too tiny for most people to notice, but both Great Xia King and Great Ming King noticed it.
The battle had begun!
That was not all. An Invincible had died.
A human Invincible, to be precise.
At the moment, the various humans were prostrated on the ground. The myriad race guests were also keeping their heads lowered, not daring to look straight at Su Yu and the blinding golden radiance around him. Only powerful Invincibles like Great Xia King and Great Ming King noticed it. Not even the other human Invincibles, including Junior Zhou King, noticed anything.
Like the two, Su Yu was greatly surprised as well.
Someone had died!
He did not know who it was. However, it was most likely not a founding king. But he was sure it was a human Invincible as he could sense the fortune of humanity stirring from the death.
With a solemn expression, he glanced at the people prostrated on the ground. Calm returned to his face.
But moments later, the golden seal of Great Yue started shaking violently.
At the same time, the entire Great Yue started shaking as well.
Great Han King had hidden the phenomenon from appearing in the Allheaven Battlefield.
However, the death of a founding king couldn't be hidden from the Human Realm. Most people would not understand what was happening, but the Invincibles realized one after another. Their expressions changed drastically.
Something had happened to Great Yue King!
Abruptly, Great Xia King turned to look at Great Yue's seal. He could see the beginning of a crack forming on it. Meanwhile, the people from Great Yue were still prostrated on the ground, completely oblivious as to what had happened.
Su Yu's expression changed as well.
A founding king had died!
So soon after the death of a human Invincible!
Two Invincibles had died in such a short time!
At the moment, some of the people in the crowd sensed something as well. Just as they were about to look up, they were interrupted.
Su Yu roared coldly, "Great Yue, Great Chu, and Great Liao. For disobeying the will of humanity previously, you will be punished. Thirty percent of your fortune will be withdrawn as punishment."
At that, everyone forgot about the slight shaking they felt. Instead, they started shivering in fear.
Su Yu was trying to settle scores with them!
The crown on Su Yu's head released a burst of light. A connection was formed between the crown and the seals of the three prefectures. The blinding radiance covered all three seals, making it impossible for anyone to see the three seals anymore.
After a short while, the blinding radiance receded, revealing the three seals again. Great Yue's seal felt weaker, but the crack on it had vanished. As for the other two seals, there weren't many changes.
Both Great Xia King and Great Ming King saw what Su Yu did. Instead of extracting the fortune of the three prefectures, he had instead withdrawn some from his crown to repair Great Yue's seal.
With the three seals revealed before everyone again, the prefect of Great Yue raised his head and glared at Su Yu furiously.
Su Yu coldly asked, "Do you object? Those against me deserve death. Since I am now the holy lord, all shall obey."
All shall obey.
How overbearing.
However, the prefect of Great Yue couldn't do anything. He could feel that a large amount of fortune had vanished from Great Yue's seal. In fact, Great Yue's seal was the only seal to have weakened considerably. The other two seals still looked the same as before.
Thus, he was furious.
Why was Su Yu punishing him for what Su Yu told him to do?
How could Su Yu do so when he had been so cooperative?
This was too hateful!
Fortune, also known as luck, might seem like mere superstition. However, it truly existed. The decline of Great Yue fortune would even cause the decline of ambient source qi in Great Yue. The cultivators of Great Yue might also find their cultivation getting harder. Or to be precise, life in general would be harder for the people of Great Yue.
Thus, the fortune of a prefecture was very important.
Meanwhile, those from the other prefectures were trembling in fear.
How overbearing of Su Yu. He had punished three prefectures right after becoming the holy lord. Was someone like this really a good leader for them? At this time, the myriad race guests finally noticed the weak shaking coming from Great Yue. They were greatly astonished. How ruthless.
Was this his way to warn the humans against any form of disobedience? Was Great Yue shaking after losing too much fortune? Su Yu was indeed overbearing, ruthless, and ferocious.
The prefect of Great Yue was a ninth-stage Sunmoon. Thus, he noticed the shaking almost at the same time as the myriad race guests. He finally lost his temper and shouted, "Su Yu!"
"Shut it!" Great Xia King roared, "How dare you address the holy lord by his name directly? Do you wish to die?"
At that, the prefect forcefully calmed himself slightly before saying, "I...my prefecture has lost too much fortune. I must return to maintain calm in the prefecture! Holy Lord, please grant me leave!"
Su Yu's reply was cold and indifferent. "Rejected."
That further infuriated the prefect. However, a sense of helplessness washed over him when he looked at the others who were still prostrating and the Invincibles who were staying silent. He understood that attempting to leave against Su Yu's order might really be disastrous for him. In his fury, he withdrew the seal from the sky.
Su Yu did not stop him. But when the seal returned to the prefect's hand, he instantly sensed it. The seal was still actively leaking fortune. Something was wrong. He also noticed some fortune not native to Great Yue mixed amid the seal.
At that discovery, his heart thumped.
A certain realization dawned on him.
He suddenly recalled the fate of...Great Wei and a few other prefectures.
He recalled what happened when their founding kings died. He recalled how their seals had shrunk.
He recalled what he sensed earlier...
Instantly, he understood.
Tears streamed down his face as he looked up at Su Yu, who was also looking at him calmly with firm and calm eyes.
Something...had happened to his father.
And Su Yu was aware.
Yes! Su Yu was definitely aware!
His father had died!
Everything had changed.
He couldn't stop himself from crying. He couldn't accept this. He couldn't...even if he knew he shouldn't be acting like this. Now was not the time.
His father might have fallen in battle.
Had the war of the myriad realms finally erupted?
He was unsure.
But he knew now. He understood now. Great Xia King and Great Ming King knew. Su Yu knew as well. They were trying to hide it from the masses.
"Holy Lord..."
He gazed at Su Yu with sorrow. What happened to his father?
Up above, Su Yu stood up from his throne, looked around, and coldly said, "Great Yue Prefect. Are you disobeying an order?"
"No...I wouldn't dare..."
"Trash." Su Yu coldly said, "A great ninth-stage Sunmoon yet so cowardly. I don't know your father, Great Yue King, well. But I have met him twice. He lacks class. He behaves like a bandit. He isn't too strong. But he's boundlessly proud. He is both hateful and respectable. As the son of someone like that, how can you cry in public because of a tiny punishment? Pieces of trash like you are why humanity is in its current state."
The prefect wiped his tears off and lowered his head. He sank into silence. He didn't feel like saying anything anymore.
Su Yu continued, "Now that I have been appointed to this position, I hope that everyone will understand the proper way of conducting themselves before me. I hereby call for everyone to prostrate and pay their respects to the new holy lord. Let's see if anyone dares disobey me. Perhaps I would get to kill a few more people as a warning to others."
All the Invincibles had mixed feelings about this. Su Yu was too overbearing.
Unbelievably so.
Even after being crowned the holy lord, he was still trying to pick fights with the various prefectures. He was looking for someone to punish. Just what was he trying to do here?
The myriad race guests were also watching in astonishment. What a ruthless guy. Had he forgotten that he was a newly appointed holy lord? Was he not worried about generating a rebellion from how overbearing he was?
This was his first day at the job! He should remember that well!
***
The five elemental elder sent a voice transmission, "This person...is truly arrogant and overbearing. He extracted the fortune of three prefectures just like that. When the three founding kings find out about this, chaos will erupt."
The more the elder saw, the more terrified he was of Su Yu. What a terrifying guy.
He was worried that Su Yu would go even wilder and kill all the myriad race guests. He felt extremely uncomfortable staying in the Human Realm.
After a short silence, Su Yu said, "Rise, everyone. Start the feast. Since it's my old man's birthday today, I'll be generous and forgive your transgressions today."
The crowd felt even more uncomfortable upon hearing those words. So if it wasn't his father's birthday today, would they need to remain on their knees for the entire day?
Finally, a trace of sorrow appeared in Great Xia King's eyes as he sent a voice transmission to Su Yu, "May...you treat Great Yue well. Great Yue King is dead. The other dead Invincible might be...King Hong."
Su Yu said nothing.
Humanity had not lost even a single Invincible during the previous conflicts involving him. But today, two had died right at the start of the battle. He was saddened by it as well. Was this worth it? Was the celestial chasm race really worth invading at such a price?
Perhaps...the answer was yes. Left alone, the celestial chasm race would most definitely make a move against humanity in the future. Even so, it was still hard for him to accept the loss of Invincibles.
He looked up at the sky and sighed. He...wouldn't be able to cover for them for too long. They could only rely on themselves for this conflict. That was all he could do.
Sorry.
Chapter 1664: Collapse (1)
Not enough Invincibles had died. Thus, the Celestial Chasm Realm still looked normal from the outside thanks to its sealed state. However, some signs were already starting to appear in the Human Realm.
Su Yu managed to hide it, but the Invincibles and top experts could all feel that something was off. People like Liu Wushen, Qin Zhen, and the others were starting to feel uneasy despite not knowing what it was.
All of them focused on Su Yu, who was looking as calm as ever. Did something happen? Did something happen to Great Yue King?
Su Yu ignored them. Instead, he approached the fake Su Long seated somewhere below and smiled. After producing a glass of liquor in his hand, he said, "Father, please accept a toast from me."
Some calmed down upon seeing him toasting his father. They were glad to see that he was not going mad They had been worried that his madness would persist and he would escalate things. In fact, some even regretted coming. It felt so dangerous to be in his presence.
Su Yu maintained a calm expression. He knew that the only thing he could do to help was to keep things stable in the Human Realm. Great Qin King and the others were not around. A true disaster would be upon them if a large number of experts decided to attack them right now and shatter their realm barrier.
No, not even that was required. They only needed to focus on slaughtering the normal humans and the remaining human Invincibles wouldn't be able to do much to stop them. Normally, the myriad races would not dare to do something like that. But since humanity had triggered the war, the myriad races wouldn't care anymore.
While toasting his father, Su Yu took the chance to sink into thought.
With the female furball around, he did not fear the attacks of those below the Daofuse Realm. The appearance of Daofuses was what he feared most.
If the myriad races were able to break through the defenses of humanity, Great Qin King and the others would be forced to abandon their mission and return. Such a good chance to eliminate the celestial chasms would never reappear.
It was unlikely that the myriad races would join the battle inside the Celestial Chasm Realm. They would be subjected to the suppressive force there. Thus, it wasn't wise for them to fight humanity there. Instead, they could attack the Human Realm and force the attacking humans to return.
Su Yu knew that. Great Qin King and the others knew that as well. That was why Great Xia King and Great Ming King were left behind. They were here as insurance. Su Yu was probably only one of the many trump cards they had prepared for humanity.
Or to be precise, they were confident that Su Yu would defend humanity with the ancient guardians when things became serious enough. He was the only person capable of bringing so much help to humanity.
"So things should still be quite safe with Heavendoom and the others around. The myriad races wouldn't be too rash with them there."
Just then, the air around him rippled.
Hu Xiansheng appeared.
He had a look of overwhelming shock in his eyes as he looked at Su Yu before looking at Great Xia King and Great Ming King. He couldn't hide the shock on his face.
Su Yu's heart thumped.
This wasn't good!
With a sharp gaze, Great Ming King roared, "Hu Xiansheng, you dare? Where were you? How dare you approach uninvited and offend the holy lord?"
At that, Hu Xiansheng forcefully calmed down and hurriedly said, "No, not at all. It's a misunderstanding!"
Su Yu calmed his nerves as well and smiled. "Faculty Head, you really need to stop teleporting everywhere just because you're good at spatial manipulation. I don't mind it, but be careful lest you encounter a powerful enemy by accident and end up trapped somewhere."
"Yes, yes, you're right!"
Hu Xiansheng smiled as he agreed. With the same smile on his face, he sent Su Yu a voice transmission with boundless shock in his voice, "Something happened! This is bad! The other side of the door! Invincibles! There are Invincibles there!"
Su Yu's heart thumped.
Invincibles.
Inside the hidden ruin.
It was extremely difficult for Invincibles to enter the Human Realm undetected. After all, Great Qin King and the others had been on the watch nonstop for countless years. Not even the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion dared to rashly enter the Human Realm despite knowing the location of a secret entrance. They didn't mind sending Sunmoons through, but they wouldn't risk their Invincibles. After all, the Invincible would never survive upon being discovered.
And now, Hu Xiansheng was saying that there were hidden enemy Invincibles in the Human Realm.
After forcing himself to remain calm, Su Yu smiled and said verbally, "So be it. I'm in a good mood today so I'll overlook this."
But at the same time, he sent a voice transmission, "Where? How strong are they? How many of them?"
"Somewhere inside Great Shang, deep under the Heavensplit Mountain. I don't know their exact strength, but I'm sure there is at least one Invincible there. I don't know their numbers either. I only traced the spatial undulations of the door and tracked it all the way there before sensing some unique undulations of a ruin. I understood that these hidden experts might be immortals, so I investigated carefully. However, the spatial ripples I sent over were instantly destroyed. Only an Invincible can do that. Sunmoons wouldn't have been able to detect anything. I don't know if I was discovered as well, but I know that there must be at least one Invincible there."
Hu Xiansheng had fled right after his spatial ripples were destroyed. He had to return and inform Su Yu about what he found. Something was wrong. Something was very wrong. Unknown Invincibles were hiding inside the Human Realm. What was the easiest way to break the defenses of a well-defended fort? By attacking from the inside.
"Unknown strength and unknown numbers..."
Su Yu's eyes flickered. When did they enter the Human Realm? It was unlikely for them to have entered recently. Perhaps they had entered during the founding.
Immortals?
Were they really so patient?
Why did they act after so long? Perhaps the time for them to attack was already near. That was why they didn't mind ending their inactivity to make some money since they were going to attack soon anyway. Otherwise, a few carrier treasures wouldn't have been worthy of risking exposure after remaining in hiding for so long.
Su Yu had been somewhat confident he could deal with the threat coming externally. But now, he had discovered that there was a threat internally as well. Would these hidden experts make a move? There would definitely be more than one of them. So what would they do now?
They had been silent for over four hundred years. Had the time for them to act arrived? It was hard to say.
If these hidden experts remained hidden, he could deal with them in isolation. But what if the myriad races decided that it was time for these hidden experts to act? Were the immortals the only ones hiding in the Human Realm? What about the divines and devils?
Su Yu did not have the answer for that. He could only prepare for the worst. He did not know their strength. He did not know their numbers. He only knew that there were Invincibles among them. And that made these hidden experts extremely dangerous.
Su Yu patted Hu Xiansheng's shoulder and said with a smile, "Calm down, Faculty Head. Go grab a drink. I'm not blaming you. Why are you being so nervous here?"
Hu Xiansheng laughed dryly, but he said nothing. Before long, he sent several voice transmissions to Great Ming King and Great Xia King. The eyes of the two Invincibles flickered, but their expressions remained the same. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novèlfire.net
Next, Great Xia King sent Su Yu a voice transmission, "Hidden ruin and hidden Eternals. Su Yu, this might be a big crisis."
Great Ming King sent a voice transmission as well, "When the attack on the celestial chasm race is exposed, the myriad races might activate these hidden experts. I'll check the place with Old Xia. If we find something, we will make the first move!"
Su Yu considered the matter and said, "No. The two of you need to guard the borders and our realm entrances. We have numerous soldiers here. There are millions upon millions of lives there. I might be the holy lord, but they won't obey me. You know this. Humanity will not obey me. We can't defend our borders without you. I'll tell the guardians to help when needed."
Great Ming King and Great Xia King looked at each other. What about the enemies hidden inside the Human Realm?
Su Yu continued, "Don't worry about the hidden experts. I'll handle this. Just leave Zhou Tianyuan and the others behind. They won't be of much help out there anyway. They can help with the internal defense."
Great Ming King and Great Xia King must be present at the Allheaven Battlefield.
That was the only way to keep things calm among the various human armies.
Su Yu still didn't know the situation outside the Human Realm. He was unsure of Great Zhou King had left some Invincibles defending the borders. He was worried that things would fall apart without Great Ming King and Great Xia King there.
The two Invincibles did not argue even if they were still very worried.
Su Yu sent a voice transmission to Hu Xiansheng, "Make a new door. Immediately."
"What?"
"Make a door connected to the same place as the door I gave you."
"Sure."
Hu Xiansheng was alarmed. Was Su Yu going to attack first? But they lacked information about the situation on the other side of the door. It was too dangerous to go just like this. Su Yu said nothing else. He was confident because he had the female furball with him.
The absence of Great Zhou King wouldn't be hidden for real. He had to remove these hidden experts before the myriad races decide to activate them.
While sipping liquor, Su Yu made up his mind. Abruptly, he smashed the glass onto the ground and furiously roared, "Great Ming King! Great Xia King!"
The two Invincibles looked at him. All around them, the various experts looked at Su Yu in astonishment. What was it this time?
Su Yu said, "This liquor is terrible. It's not worthy of being served to my father. It is not good enough for me. Go to the Allheaven Battlefield and get the Heavenly Fragrance Liquor from Heavendoom."
Some people frowned upon hearing that. The Great Song prefect suggested, "Holy Lord, perhaps we can send a message to the Allheaven Prefecture and have a messenger sent from there. There is no need to trouble the two majesties for this..."
Su Yu snorted coldly and said, "You talk too much. How can ordinary cultivators move as fast as the two majesties? I'm very curious. Are the two majesties really willing to heed my order?"
Great Xia King frowned, but Great Ming King smiled and said, "This is no big deal. Since humanity has selected you as the leader...Old Xia, let's go. Old Zhou is here. There is nothing for us to worry about."
He smiled at the fake Great Zhou King beside him and said, "We'll be back shortly. Old Zhou, keep watch here. Don't let anyone try something stupid."
The fake Great Zhou King nodded and said, "I'm here. Don't worry."
With a chuckle, Great Ming King dragged the furious Great Xia King off, "Come on. We can meet Old Qin and update him on the way. The holy lord is still very young..."
When Su Yu's gaze landed on him, Great Ming King laughed dryly and continued, "Young and promising. Let's go, Old Xia."
Great Xia King flicked his sleeves in a displeased manner before vanishing alongside Great Ming King.
As the two vanished, Great Ming King's voice rang out, "We'll be back soon. Enjoy the feast, everyone. Eat! Drink! Have fun!"
Before long, the two were gone. As for the experts from the thirty-six prefectures, some were frowning while some had odd expressions. How were the two so obedient? But wasn't Su Yu being a tad bit too full of himself here? Some looked at Great Han King and Great Zhou King, wondering about their silence.
Meanwhile, Great Zhou King and the others remained smiling, as though nothing had happened. Noticing that, the others could only stay silent. They felt very helpless about this. What could they do if not even the Invincibles were saying anything?
Chapter 1665: Collapse (2)
Among the myriad race guests.
Mo Duona was frowning as he stared at Great Zhou King and the others before looking at Su Yu. Finally, he looked at those from Great Yue. At the moment, the Great Yue prefect was sitting there silently with his head lowered, as though he was trying to hide into the ground.
But since the prefect was hiding his face, Mo Duona couldn't see anything unusual about the prefect. After thinking about it, Mo Duona looked at Topsoil Spirit. At the moment, Topsoil Spirit's eyes were flickering.
He could sense the atmosphere slowly turning stern.
And it was growing in intensity.
Su Yu was a tad bit too overbearing today. He was also a tad bit too rude toward the founding kings. He had always been overbearing, but he was not the type to act so disrespectfully. Had he gotten too full of himself after becoming the holy lord?
It was hard to say.
However, Great Xia King and Great Ming King were among his strongest supporters. Yet he had still been so rude toward the two.
Topsoil Spirit sank into deep thought.
Did something happen?
What was it?
The biggest matter to happen today should be Su Yu's crowning, right? Everyone should be paying attention to this event. Who would do something today?
Meanwhile, Hu Xiansheng was looking for a suitable place to build a new teleportation door.
But suddenly, Su Yu said, "Faculty Head Hu, you have been known for your ability to build teleportation doors. But when I was studying in Great Ming, that door of yours was pretty useless. Since you're here, why don't you build a door for the occasion. Build a door I can use to go everywhere."
Hu Xiansheng said, "Uhm...I don't think I can..."
Su Yu said, "Great Ming has wasted so many resources to support your research. Show me your results. If you do well, I might support you more. Otherwise...I might need to cut you down if you continue wasting money in the future. I still remember how you sold even the faculty to pay for your research back then. Come on, Faculty Head. Play along now."
Those words offended even more people in the crowd. He was clearly picking a fight with a nonsensical excuse.
Hu Xiansheng had arrived late to the celebration. Hu Xiansheng had even teleported straight to the square instead of walking through the main entrance. That must have angered Su Yu. Thus, he had used a random excuse to send Great Ming King away before dealing with Hu Xiansheng.
Some of the people there knew that Hu Xiansheng had helped Su Yu massively in the past. How could he be so ungrateful? In fact, Hu Xiansheng had even helped when Su Yu was forging his Mark of Civilization. Back when he was still in Great Ming, Hu Xiansheng had also fought for him. Had he forgotten all his past favors?
If he could treat Hu Xiansheng this way, how would he treat those who were complete strangers to him? He was too harsh!
Many gazes landed on Zhu Tiandao. The smile on Zhu Tiandao's face slowly faded as he said, "Su...Holy Lord Su. Everyone is still eating and drinking here. Perhaps...we should postpone this to another time?"
"No. I want it done now." Su Yu said, "A teleportation skill is very valuable. If Faculty Head Hu succeeds, I'll reward him with a carrier treasure. If he fails...remove his research center from Great Ming and stop wasting all those resources."
With a helpless expression, Zhu Tiandao looked at Hu Xiansheng and said, "Just do it. Build a door for the holy lord."
"But the research is incomplete!"
Hu Xiansheng tried to protest, but noticing Zhu Tiandao's gaze on him, he gloomily agreed, "Fine. I'll give it a try."
He added, "The research is incomplete so the spatial pressure will be quite heavy. The range also won't be too big. Someone whose body is too weak can very easily die in the process."
As he explained, he took out a bunch of materials and started constructing a door. Even the teleportation door he received from Su Yu was taken out after some modifications. It was left floating in the air as he continued his work.
Everyone was so engrossed with his work that they stopped paying attention to Su Yu.
Hu Xiansheng was quite famous for his teleportation doors. Everyone still remembered how Niu Baidao had used Hu Xiansheng's teleportation door to instantly kill a Pseudo Invincible. But that door had exploded after one usage. Would the same happen today? At the time, a Sunmoon had been killed by the explosion.
As Hu Xiansheng worked, the space around him started warping.
While working, Hu Xiansheng sent Su Yu a voice transmission, "Be very careful if you intend to use this door yourself. Someone must be keeping watch on the other side. And that someone will not be a weakling. Your body will be subjected to a huge pressure during the teleportation. Give me a little bit of time. I'll try to stabilize the spatial tunnel more."
He knew what Su Yu wanted to do. That was why he had been so hesitant. He was worried that something might happen to Su Yu.
But Su Yu ignored the warning. Instead, he looked at Junior Zhou King and the others who were deep in thought. Finally, his gaze landed on Great Yuan King. At present, he was the strongest expert in the area even when he was left with only one body.
He was the sole late-degree Eternal present.
After some thought, Su Yu sent Great Yuan King a voice transmission, "Can...I trust you?"
With flickering eyes, Great Yuan King replied, "I am a founding king! Don't forget that, Su Yu! The millions upon millions of lives in Great Yuan are under my protection! I don't like you. You do not have the temperament to serve as a good leader. However...I won't go against the others since they have decided upon you. Brother Yue has died. If you need anything from me, tell me. That is my brother. I won't let his death slide."
Su Yu gave Great Yuan King a deep gaze before sending another voice transmission, "Things might grow troublesome soon. There is a buried danger within the Human Realm. Some enemy Invincibles might be hiding in some undiscovered ruins. I only found one, but I'm unsure if there are more. When more trouble appears, do something! I don't know their strength. I don't know their numbers. If the numbers are low, it won't be an issue. If the numbers are high, I'll need your help. At the very least, you need to keep them busy. The east is yours."
Great Yuan King's eyes turned cold as he replied through voice transmission, "Understood."
Su Yu said nothing else. He looked at Junior Zhou King, thought about it, and sent a voice transmission, "Zhou Tianyuan, you will be watching over the south with Heavenly Forge King. When trouble appears, handle it with Heavenly Forge King."
He did not give further explanations.
Junior Zhou King glanced at Su Yu and nodded slightly.
"Liu Wushen!"
Liu Wushen's heart thumped as he looked at Su Yu. A voice transmission arrived, "Don't ask. Don't talk. You're a smart guy. Take Qin Zhen and Zhou Potian with you. The west is yours to guard. When enemies appear, aim to keep them busy if you can't kill them."
Liu Wushen replied, "I understand."
Arrangements had been made for three directions. Two Invincibles were left without arrangements.
Niu Baidao and Yun Chen.
Both were new Invincibles, but both were decently strong. Su Yu looked at Niu Baidao and sent a voice transmission, "Principal Niu, take Senior Yun, Prefect Zhu, and Marquis Xia. Keep an eye on the north. When enemies appear, aim to at least keep the enemies occupied. It's fine if you can't kill them."
Niu Baidao nodded.
These were the eight human Invincibles remaining in the Human Realm. Su Yu knew nothing about the hidden enemies. He didn't know if they would appear. But they had to take precautions. Thus, he had deployed them all, including the more powerful Pseudo Invincibles such as Zhu Tiandao and Marquis Xia.
As for Su Yu himself, he would remain on standby and eliminate the stronger enemies. He could only hope that there wouldn't be too many of them.
Naturally, it would be even better if these hidden enemies remained in hiding. He could always deal with them progressively in the future. Sure, it would be annoying to search the Human Realm for them, but even that would be much easier than dealing with all of them when so many human experts were absent.
Slowly, the atmosphere turned solemn. None of the Invincibles said anything.
Meanwhile, Great Zhou King and the others continued standing there with their smiles, causing those around them to feel uncomfortable. As for Su Yu, he sipped his liquor in silence, seemingly in wait for something.
***
"Kill!"
Great Qin King's roar reverberated throughout the Celestial Chasm Realm.
Somewhere behind him, numerous explosions erupted as the old Invincible injured by Great Yue King detonated himself while being attacked by multiple human Invincibles.
Boom!
The entire Celestial Chasm Realm was shaking.
Splurt! Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NoveI(F)ire.net
Silk Destroying King coughed a mouthful of blood. Further above, Great Han King roared and desperately tried to block the phenomenon from leaking out of the Celestial Chasm Realm.
That was a ninth-degree Eternal.
The death of such an expert would create a massive phenomenon across the Myriad Realms.
That had been the case for Blood Fire and Wisdom King.
Thus, it was extremely difficult to stop the phenomenon of his death from leaking.
After pushing the bloodied Great Qin King back with yet another ruler strike, the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor roared, "Those under the Eternal Realm, charge out of the realm! Charge out and seek help! Now!"
At that, hundreds of Sunmoons charged toward the realm entrance.
Heavenly Seal King was the one watching over the realm entrance. Waiting in the middle of a formation, he activated his formation the moment he saw the approaching Sunmoons. Almost immediately, a Sunmoon died.
Just then, Great Zhou King's cold voice rang out, "Do not allow anyone to escape. Heavenly Seal, you have humanity's fate in your hands. Try to last at least half an hour."
Heavenly Seal King replied, "Yes."
He continued attacking the Sunmoons throwing themselves at him. No, he was dealing with more than just Sunmoons. Even Mountainseas were throwing themselves at him suicidally.
They were desperate to leave.
They had to save their home.
This was a fight for the survival of their race.
Finally, the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor roared, "Open the realm barrier!"
At the same time, at the extreme end of the world. A hidden Invincible coughed a mouthful of blood, dying the entire realm barrier red. The realm barrier was slightly transparent. Countless death spirits could be seen on the other side.
Seemingly having smelled something desirable, the death spirits stirred. Abruptly, a Sunmoon death spirit approached the realm barrier. That path was supposed to be impassable. But somehow, the death spirit was able to walk right through.
In fact, that was so surprising even the death spirit blanked out upon walking through it. As a Sunmoon death spirit, he only had a low level of intelligence. Upon sensing the presence of so many living beings, he was instantly driven mad.
Death qi started rippling out of his body.
The expression of the hidden Invincible changed slightly, but he gnashed his teeth and continued chanting. More and more death spirits crossed the realm barrier.
"Unleash slaughter."
For some reason, all the death spirits avoided the hidden Invincible and charged ahead instead.
Chapter 1666: Collapse (3)
The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor smiled.
"Do you want to die together?"
He looked at Great Qin King. Then, he looked at Great Zhou King and asked, "Do you? The death spirits are here. The moment they spread uncontrollably, all of us will be viewed as the culprits by the heavenly laws. We will all be punished. With death spirits flooding this realm, heavenly tribulations raining from the sky, and myriad race experts surrounding the realm outside, can you still leave? Do all of you want to die with us?"
With a crazed expression, the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor asked again, "Do you want to die together? It's not too late to stop the death spirits from crossing. We can still block the path. But the moment a death sovereign arrives, even killing the death sovereign will only produce more death sovereigns. Are you really ready to die with us?"
Dying together.
The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor was incredibly decisive. Seeing that even the old fossil from the first epoch had died, he realized that victory would be very unlikely. Thus, he had to do something. He knew that he couldn't rely on the myriad races to save them. They had to save themselves.
Everything would be fine during the initial phase of the death spirit invasion, but when enough time passed, heavenly tribulations would arrive. These humans would also be punished alongside the celestial chasms.
In fact, everyone in the Celestial Chasm Realm would be punished. After all, the Celestial Chasm Realm was already a fallen realm in the first place.
Great Qin King roared coldly, "Kill! Kill them all!"
"You lunatics!"
The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor couldn't understand it. Were they really not afraid of death? This could really kill them all! Did they think that they could survive the heavenly tribulations? That would be impossible!
The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor was growing desperate as well. More and more celestial chasm Invincibles died. When all of them died, he would be surrounded by all these human Invincibles alone.
"Since you want to die so badly, I'll help you!"
With a mad roar, he released his River of Time yet again. The river spread throughout the realm. The human Invincibles in charge of keeping the Celestial Chasm Realm sealed started coughing blood.
A large amount of death qi started rippling out of the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor's body. A fragment appeared in his hand. As he chanted, a projection emerged from the fragment before being crushed by him.
Not far away, Xia Longwu coughed a mouthful of blood.
Then, he looked at the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor and said, "Someone has been spying on me as of late. So it was you..."
The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor did not bother to say anything. There was someone else to handle Xia Longwu.
Sure enough, a celestial chasm Invincible charged toward Xia Longwu right after. He had just broken free from his opponents before switching targets to Xia Longwu, who had just finished a battle. With a rumble, Xia Longwu was sent flying. A trail of blood followed behind him.
The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor pulled away from Great Qin King even as he continued chanting. Before long, another projection emerged from the fragment. Everyone who had entered the Heavenly Hunt Index before would be open to his curses.
Whenever these projections appeared, he only needed to crush them with his palm or ruler to inflict heavy damage to the people these projections represented.
Most of the founding kings had never been on the Heavenly Hunt Index, but the newer Invincibles had mostly entered the index at one point. One after another, the human Invincibles coughed blood.
Even Silk Destroying King was among them. Above Great Han King, some bloody clouds were starting to appear, seemingly intending to punish him from denying the phenomena from spreading.
Just then, the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor's River of Time struck him, causing him to cough blood as well.
Even Heavenly Seal King, who was still guarding the realm entrance, had his projection crushed. That injury caused him to stiffen, allowing an enemy Pseudo Invincible to punch through his chest.
"Hmph!"
Just then, Great Zhou King appeared behind the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor. With a snort, a powerful wave of willpower rushed out alongside the snort before striking the Pseudo Emperor.
Rumble!
After coughing a mouthful of blood, the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor vanished before reappearing elsewhere with a flicker. He stared at Great Zhou King even as blood dripped out of his mouth and said, "How strong. To launch such a powerful attack right after teleporting...Zhou Tianqi, are you trying to achieve Daofuse today?"
Great Zhou King said, "That is none of your concern. It will probably be fine for me to achieve Daofuse after killing you." "Heh."
The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor sneered and said, "I did underestimate you, but for you to kill me..." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novęlfire.net
Boom!
Great Qin King interrupted him with a spear strike.
The radiant spear gave the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor an intense sense of danger.
The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor had not sensed wrongly. Great Qin King had ignited his blood essence to power this attack. Instantly, the spear stabbed through the defense barrier made of the power of laws before stabbing through the Pseudo Emperor's head.
Boom!
The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor's head exploded, but he instantly regrew his head before pulling back far away from Great Qin King. From afar, he stared at Great Qin King coldly and asked, "Do you really want to die with me?"
Great Qin King ignored the question and launched another attack with his blood essence still burning.
Just then, a deafening explosion erupted not far away.
Yet another celestial chasm Invincible had died. The entire world shook at his death.
Right before dying, he was able to spit a mouthful of dark blood, hitting Great Liang King with his final curse. As a result, Great Liang King was instantly reduced to dust.
Not long after, a pale Great Liang King appeared. One of his three bodies had died. In such an intense battlefield, losing a body was the same as dying.
Far away, Great Tang King shouted, "Don't seek death! Go to the entrance and kill those Sunmoons!"
Humanity was already holding the upper hand in this battle. Five celestial chasm Invincibles had died so far while humanity had lost two. With five powerful enemy Invincibles gone, the advantage of humanity kept growing. It would only be a matter of time before all these enemies were dead.
Right at that moment, three ancient celestial chasm Invincibles looked at each other.
Then, they ignited their body and spread waves of darkness everywhere.
"We curse humanity with eternal damnation!"
Instantly, all three turned into dust. With a rumble, Great Han King was struck by a bolt of lightning. Finally, his barrier shattered as he coughed another mouthful of blood.
Great Tang King and the others were still rushing toward Great Liang King, thinking that the three were going to kill Great Liang King. Only then did they realize that Great Han King was already at his limits. Right after being struck by the bolt of lightning from above, a wave of death qi rushed toward him from below.
Boom!
With an explosion, Great Han King was reduced to dust. When he returned on his second body, a bolt of lightning and a wave of death qi attacked again. His second body was easily killed as well.
"Old Liu!"
The pale Great Han King had a helpless expression. He was already handling an extremely difficult task. He had to focus everything against the heavenly laws. Thus, he did not have any extra energy to spare for the attacks of three powerful Invincibles fuelled by their very lives as the sacrifice.
The three Invincibles were incredibly decisive. They had sacrificed everything just to kill Great Han King. Knowing that they would most likely die, they decided to drag someone important down with them as well.
And they were quite successful.
Great Han King was a seventh-degree Eternal. He was as powerful as a regular eighth-degree Eternal, and one of the many pillars of humanity. Thus, exchanging three lives for Great Han King's life would be a worthy trade.
Just as Great Han King was waiting for death with a sigh, a beam of light shot through the wave of death qi. Then, the projection of Great Liang King appeared in the sky. With a smile, Great Liang King said, "You're at the seventh degree while I'm only at the sixth degree. Both of us are without our three bodies, but I'm still weaker. No matter how you look at this, it's better for me to die instead of you. Old Liu, watch over Great Liang for me."
Looking at the east, Great Liang King's projection smiled and said, "This is regretful, but it's a worthy death. I was a weak scholar. During the collapse of the previous dynasty, I followed Great Qin King and rose in rebellion. We overthrew the tyrant.
"I wanted to be a respected prime minister, a respected leader loved by many. Alas, the world is in chaos and humanity is facing destruction. No matter what...I am someone who has rendered great service to humanity. When the history books are written in the future, please do say some nice things about me. I might be pro-peace, but I have never thought of betraying humanity. I am only pro-peace because I don't want to see more death.
"The immortals tried to recruit me. The devils tried to recruit me. I rejected them all. Even if I am not as great as Great Qin King, I do not owe humanity anything. Please do...make this clear for me. Great Liang is no traitor. Being pro-peace...is not a sin!"
With a smile on his face, Great Liang King's projection walked into the horizon with his spine straight. He had not betrayed humanity.
He was merely tired of fighting.
He was one of those who had followed Great Qin King during the rebellion, but he had stopped following Great Qin King after the collapse of the previous dynasty. Instead, he became a firm supporter of Great Zhou King, who was also pro-peace.
Yes, he knew that seeking peace was probably the same as waiting helplessly for death, but he was also hopeful that the peace might buy humanity more time. Humans were short-lived. He only wanted the peace to last for as long as he was alive, even if it was a false peace.
Alas, that was mere wishful thinking.
Great Liang King had died.
"Old Liang!"
With tears streaming down his face, Great Han King roared and charged a distant enemy Invincible madly.
Boom!
He pushed all his characters to the limit, including his strength character, and threw a punch. The crimson clouds were blasted apart, but his strength character also faded slightly from the impact.
Elsewhere, Great Qin King was also roaring as he attacked with boundless rage. At the same time, Great Zhou King appeared near the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor with a flicker before sending a palm attack out. Attacked by the two, even more wounds appeared on the Pseudo Emperor's body.
The entire Celestial Chasm Realm was in chaos.
Death spirits were sweeping through the realm.
However, the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor merely laughed at the sight of that.
In this battle, the celestial chasm race had lost eight powerful Invincibles while humanity had lost three. Eleven had perished, and the sky had finally cracked.
They couldn't stop the phenomena anymore.
The barriers of Great Han King and Silk Destroying King had been broken through. At the outermost layer, Great Zhou King's barrier was on the verge of breaking down as well. But at this point, Great Zhou King was already too occupied to pay attention to his barrier.
The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor laughed.
One more. These barriers wouldn't survive another death. At that point, the myriad races would learn of what was happening.
Just then, the celestial chasm Invincible who had been struck by the furious Great Han King laughed as well. "I will die, but humanity will come after! I don't regret this death!"
Rumble!
Boom!
Countless crimson clouds covered the sky of Celestial Chasm Realm. The barriers of Silk Destroying King and Great Zhou King shattered completely. After mere moments, Great Zhou King's barrier shattered as well.
Instantly, twelve groups of crimson clouds gathered together before shooting through the crack in the sky.
Twelve Invincibles had died.
Massive phenomena stretched across the Myriad Realms.
The entire Myriad Realms could hear the deafening explosion.
A torrential rain of blood descended everywhere, dyeing the entire Allheaven Battlefield red.
Ten minutes.
It had only been ten minutes since the battle started.
***
Celestial chasms!"
"Humans!"
Throughout the Myriad Realms, numerous experts were shaken. All of them looked in the direction of the Celestial Chasm Realm. Of the twelve falling projections, nine had fallen on the Celestial Chasm Realm while three had fallen on the Human Realm. Next, three rumbles erupted from the Human Realm.
It couldn't be hidden anymore.
Humanity had lost three Invincibles.
***
This was Su Yu's first time witnessing the phenomena of dead human Invincibles.
The entire Human Realm shook violently.
Great Yue and Great Liang, in particular, were shaking at a much higher intensity. Two. Two founding kings had died on the same day.
Nanyuan.
Everyone looked at the sky. Then, everyone paled.
Three projections had appeared in the sky.
Invincibles...had died!
Just then, from the ruins of the Knowledge Seeking Realm, a large drum appeared.
An old man stepped forth. With a bleak smile, he struck the drum.
It couldn't be hidden anymore.
Boom!
The entire world shook alongside the drum.
Seven strikes to the Dragonstrike Drum, signifying the fall of Invincibles.
It had been many years since the Dragonstrike Drum was struck seven times.
It was finally happening today.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A shocking thought gripped everyone's minds. Invincibles...had died.
More than one.
A disaster was upon them.
Chapter 1667: Endless Slaughter (1)
The sounds of Dragonsrise Drum reverberated throughout the world.
Invincibles had fallen.
Fiery Sea King did not count. He was a traitor. Nobody would mourn his death. But this was different.
Inside the square of Nanyuan mayor's residence.
Silence descended.
Everyone was shocked. Everyone was confused. Some even started exclaiming in panic.
"The myriad races are attacking!"
Three Invincibles had fallen. This could only happen if the myriad races were attacking! Humanity was finished! The Human Realm was finished!
The myriad race guests were greatly alarmed as well. They all gathered warily, but they didn't dare to flee.
Just what was going on? Three Invincibles had died.
While sipping his liquor, Su Yu smiled and stepped onto the stage. Overlooking the gathered crowd, he shouted, "Silence."
Some obeyed. But some continued running around in chaos. Su Yu's eyes lit up as a burst of aura erupted from his body.
At that, all the people who were running around in chaos coughed blood and collapsed.
Finally, the world was silent.
Su Yu coldly said, "This sky above us. It has yet to fall. Why are you shouting? Pieces of trash."
His calm was infectious as some calmed significantly after looking at him. He continued, "I'm not dead. I'm still here. Why panic?"
"Great Qin King and the various Invincibles were exterminating the celestial chasm race on my order. So what if a few Invincibles died as a result? Each year, humanity loses many people. Has the fighting ever stopped for us?
"We lost three, but the celestial chasm race will cease to exist. What is there to fear? The myriad races have never given up on destroying us. Today, we shall start with the celestial chasm race and set an example out of them. Why are you shouting? This is war! People die in war! So what if we lose a few founding kings? Even if Great Qin King were to die, so what?"
Su Yu raised his voice, "Has humanity been exterminated? Pieces of trash. Anyone who cries or shouts after this will die. We don't need pieces of trash like you around."
The entire world sank into silence.
The crying voices filling the world faded away.
Su Yu's voice was reverberating throughout the Human Realm. It wasn't an attack by the myriad races. Rather, it was an attack by humanity. Humanity was exterminating a top ten race.
An ancient race with a Pseudo Emperor.
Only then did the masses understand what was happening.
They still grieved the deaths of three Invincibles, but they were also slightly relieved. Yes, three Invincibles had died. But the celestial chasms had probably lost even more. The human race was ranked higher than the celestial chasm race despite not having a Daofuse.
The myriad race guests also finally understood what was happening. Their expressions changed drastically. The humans...had attacked the celestial chasm race!
How brazen! How bold!
Su Yu's voice continued to sound throughout the Human Realm.
"Humanity might have lost three Invincibles, but our enemies will lose more! Since today is the day I'm appointed the leader of humanity, my principle of never taking a loss will be applied to humanity as well. For every death my side suffers, I will repay it a hundred times over. Great Qin King and the others are busy exterminating a race. As for me, allow me to make a small demonstration. I shall educate you that Invincibles are nothing."
With a wave of his arm, he ripped the space in front of him apart.
Then, he stepped into the spatial tunnel that had been prepared for him in advance.
He tossed a glass of hard liquor into the air and said, "I'll resume drinking after killing a few Invincibles. Anyone daring to leave before I'm back shall be killed."
Boom!
He vanished.
***
Inside the hidden ruin.
The two immortal Invincibles could sense that the entire realm was shaking.
But since they were sheltered by the ruin, they couldn't feel it too clearly.
The expert with the silverish-white hair frowned and asked, "Fire King, did something happen outside?"
"Something seems to be happening..."
Fire King, the Invincible with the reddish-purple hair, frowned slightly and said, "It felt as though someone was trying to inspect this place earlier. Snow King, is it possible that the ruin has been exposed?"
"Exposed?"
Snow King frowned.
Things had been fine for so many years.
Sure, they had received some items through the teleportation door yesterday. But that was no big deal. They had done something similar in the past. After all, they still required the support of the immortals every now and then when they ran out of resources.
Things had always been fine. Did their latest usage of the teleportation door catch someone's attention? As for the inspection earlier, the area had been scanned by the humans in the past as well. But the humans had never discovered them. It should be fine.
However, something seemed to be different this time. The outside world was shaking so violently that they could even feel it from inside the ruin. The two looked at each other silently, wondering if they should send someone to investigate.
Apart from them, there were over a hundred immortal experts in the ruin as well. There were several Pseudo Invincibles and dozens of Sunmoons among them. This was enough fighting force to give the human race a significant stab on their back during an important battle.
Would it be too risky for them to send someone out now? The two sank into silence.
Just then, the air around the destroyed teleportation door started warping. Snow King frowned in confusion, but Fire King's expression changed drastically as he roared, "Get ready to kill! Someone is trying to force their way through!"
Finally, Snow King's expression changed as well. Only Eternals could force their way through space in such a manner.
Which Eternal was coming?
The two released their strength without any hesitation.
Right at that moment, Su Yu emerged from the crack in the air. He looked around coldly and noted that there were two Invincibles in the vicinity.
Two.
A sixth degree and a seventh degree.
These were powerful enemies.
Su Yu couldn't be bothered to waste time fighting them personally. He needed to finish this fast and win the acknowledgment of the other humans if he wanted to keep humanity calm.
"Lord Flat!"
Next, a terrifyingly powerful devouring force erupted from the Mark of Civilization. Just as the two Invincibles were done mustering their snow and fire, they paled.
"Daofuse!"
A Daofuse had arrived!
Boom! ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Their seas of willpower shook violently from the devouring force. Not everyone was Great Qin King. Not everyone could resist the attacks of Daofuses without being a Daofuse.
Great Qin King and Great Zhou King were different. They were the main pillars of humanity. They were existences capable of fighting against Daofuses. Meanwhile, the two immortals here were far weaker than they.
In mere moments, the eyes of the two immortals turned blank. Their Rivers of Time only appeared for a split second before snapping apart. And finally, the Mark of Civilization descended upon the two and dragged them inside the book.
As for the Sunmoons who were fleeing everywhere in the ruin, Su Yu merely roared before throwing countless fists at them.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, over a hundred experts collapsed while coughing blood. Next, the Mark of Civilization dragged all of them inside the book as well.
***
All that had finished in the blink of an eye.
Before anyone could react, Su Yu had returned to Nanyuan.
Some of the people there were still looking at the glass of liquor he threw in the air when he returned with his crown on his head. He coldly said, "Some nobodies dare to covet the Human Realm. Death is their punishment. They shall serve as sacrifice for our dead Invincibles."
Then, two Invincibles appeared out of thin air.
"Snow King!"
"Fire King!"
Some of the myriad race guests paled upon realizing who the two were.
Su Yu nonchalantly threw a punch.
He only threw his punch once, but countless fists shot forth.
Boom!
Snow King was blasted apart. The moment his second body appeared, it was blasted apart again. And finally, his third body was blasted apart as well.
Boom!
Crimson clouds covered the sky while the entire world shook.
Su Yu moved on to Fire King without a change in expression. This was a seventh-degree Eternal, an expert stronger than Snow King. A look of struggle could be seen in his eyes as he had regained some of his clarity. However, he was completely incapable of resisting. He could only watch with fear and despair.
Why? Because a Daofuse was personally keeping him still.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, all three of his bodies were blasted apart by Su Yu.
Done with the two, Su Yu sent his Mark of Civilization forth and consumed all the blood and flesh in the air.
Four carrier treasures were left behind.
Su Yu casually tossed two of them to the Great Yue prefect and the Great Liang prefect. Each was given one.
Su Yu looked up at the crimson clouds in the sky, "How brazen of the immortals to send only two Invincibles into the Human Realm. They are now enjoying themselves in the afterlife. You're welcome."
Everyone in the Human Realm could hear Su Yu's voice. Everyone could see the crimson clouds in the sky.
Invincibles.
Dead Invincibles.
Those with better eyesight could even see that the intensity of the crimson clouds indicated that the two dead Invincibles weren't regular Invincibles. The two were powerful even by the standards of Invincibles.
In short, Su Yu...was terrifyingly strong.
And terrifyingly savage.
The myriad race guests. Those from the thirty-six prefectures. Even the other human Invincibles. All were greatly shocked.
Was this really Su Yu?
Did he just kill the two Invincibles?
Was this a joke?
One of the two was a seventh-degree Eternal!
Next, numerous immortal Sunmoons and Mountainseas were released from the Mark of Civilization. With a casual slap, Su Yu turned them all into mincemeat. Moons started raining from the sky.
He had killed them all with only one strike.
Once again, the Mark of Civilization swept forth and consumed everything. Two more carrier treasures dropped onto the ground. One of them was the carrier treasure Su Yu had transferred to them previously. As for the heaven weapon he had transferred to them, it was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps it was being stored in a storage ring. He had not bothered to search.
After putting the two carrier treasures away, Su Yu asked, "Did King Hong leave any descendants behind?"
"Yes."
Su Yu nodded and said, "They will receive two carrier treasures. King Hong died fighting for humanity. His descendants deserve this. Today, their Invincible died. I will grant them two carrier treasures. May their line produce another Invincible."
Amid the crowd, Zhu Tiandao looked around before shouting, "The holy lord is wise! With such a wise holy lord, no human will be too afraid to fight!"
"The holy lord is wise!"
Everyone roared.
This was what they needed. Something to grant them courage during such a difficult time.
The deaths of three Invincibles had greatly terrified them.
But when Su Yu killed two immortal kings, dozens of Sunmoons, and numerous Mountainseas, some started calming down.
Their panic lessened.
He was too strong.
Some even started to believe that Su Yu was stronger than Great Qin King. That was too scary. He could kill Invincibles like it was a game. With such a holy lord around, what was there to fear?
Yes, they had lost three Invincibles. But Su Yu was here! One ought to know that the number of Invincibles he alone had killed was pushing three digits.
Meanwhile, the human Invincibles had yet to recover from their shock. Just how did Su Yu accomplish that?
Only then did Su Yu catch the glass of liquor he had thrown upward earlier. After draining the glass in one gulp, he roared, "Go! Spread out! Kill anyone suspicious!"
"Yes!"
With that, the human Invincibles shot out in different directions.
Once again, Su Yu's voice reverberated throughout the Human Realm, "War is upon us. Peace is over. There is only war. We fight. We fight the Myriad Realms. We kill the myriad races. That is the only path of survival."
"During the past hundred thousand years, humanity had suffered nine defeats in a row. This is the tenth epoch. This is our last chance. We must win. We shall win."
Next, numerous roars rang out.
"YES!"
"YES!"
Everyone was stirred by the prowess Su Yu had displayed. He could kill Invincibles like it was nothing. Because of that, many started believing that humanity would be fine so long as he was around.
The sacrifice of two immortal kings was surprisingly effective. The previous panic was suppressed. Everyone was full of confidence in their new holy lord.
Next, Su Yu addressed the myriad race guests, "This won't affect you if your races remain neutral. Otherwise, you can also serve as the sacrifice to our banner."
Numerous faces paled at those words.
How terrifying.
This was a fiend.
A devil more devilish than the devils. For him, Invincibles were akin to bugs. He would show nobody mercy.
Such an existence was too terrifying. For many, the sight today was one that they could never forget.
Then, Su Yu removed his attention from the myriad race guests. The thirty-six prefectures had plenty of experts. These experts were enough to handle some guests.
Instead, Su Yu's attention was focused elsewhere.
He did not leave.
He waited.
The hidden danger within the Human Realm must be dealt with. By killing the two immortal kings, the immortals would be alerted that their plan had been exposed.
However, Su Yu had to do so. Even if he had to alert the myriad races before finding all the hidden ruins, he had to do it. That was the only way to avoid widespread panic in the Human Realm. His choice would most likely force the other hidden experts to emerge in advance.
Thus, he waited. He was waiting to kill them. With the female furball around, he was confident in his ability to handle them. He could only hope that no Daofuse would arrive before then.
Chapter 1668: Endless Slaughter (2)
At the same time.
Allheaven Battlefield.
Everyone was still immersed in their shock at humanity's attack on the celestial chasm race when several new phenomena appeared. Nobody had bothered to prevent the phenomena from spreading out of the Human Realm.
And thus, two projections appeared in the sky before falling upon the Immortal Realm.
Chaos unfolded in the Immortal Realm.
Two immortal kings had fallen.
Tiangu blanked out.
Yes. He was caught by complete surprise.
Snow King and Fire King...dead?
They died?
He hadn't even gotten the chance to recover from his shock at what Great Qin King and the others were doing when a new shocking event hit him.
"Damn it!"
Tiangu's furious roar rang out, "Snow King and Fire King have perished. The humans have discovered their hiding place!"
Those words shocked countless people.
The divines, devils, nethers, and dragons were greatly alarmed. Tiangu continued, "We can't allow them to kill our people in isolation. Notify them! Have them attack together! Everyone, the humans have gone mad. Qin Guang and the others are attacking the celestial chasms. We will be the next. It's time to make your choice, everyone!"
The Divine Pseudo Emperor's voice rang out, "Help the celestial chasm race. Exterminate the human race. Immortal Emperor, we will surround the Celestial Chasm Realm and smash their realm barrier apart to allow the celestial chasm experts to escape. Devil Emperor, Nether Emperor, and Dragon Emperor. The three of you will attack the Human Realm."
As Daofuses, they were naturally decisive. It didn't take them long to decide on a course of action. Each of them stepped forth, followed by a large number of Invincibles.
The Devil Pseudo Emperor was stepping forth as well, followed by over thirty Invincibles as he flew toward the Human Realm. This time, there was no need for them to worry about Great Zhou King's surprise attack.
About seventy and eighty Invincibles and three Daofuses started heading toward the Human Realm. At the same time, dozens of Invincibles and two Daofuses started heading toward the Celestial Chasm Realm.
They aimed to smash the realm barrier apart and release the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor. The humans would be a lot less scary out in the Allheaven Battlefield. After all, the rest of them would be subjected to the suppressive pressure of the Celestial Chasm Realm if they had to fight inside.
***
At the same time.
The other Daofuses were deep in contemplation.
The old turtle, Heavenly Overseer Marquis, big furball, Hou Pseudo Emperor, Spatial Beast Pseudo Emperor, Primordial Giant Pseudo Emperor, Phoenix Pseudo Emperor...
All were deep in thought.
What should they do now?
A large number of Invincibles started emerging from the various major realms. Many of the Invincibles long thought dead had resurfaced as well.
The humans...had gone to war yet again.
War was upon them.
This was the prelude to the tenth epochal war. The war over four hundred years ago did not count as that was merely humanity's resistance against invasion. At the time, they had fought with the intention of dealing as much damage as possible while ignoring all that was happening in the Human Realm. That was a choice they made out of desperation.
At the time, the myriad races had withdrawn as they did not wish to suffer too much losses that early. But this time, things were different. This time, the humans were the invaders. They had invaded the Celestial Chasm Realm and killed nine...no, the tenth Invincible had just died. A rain of blood was already falling from the sky.
The deaths of ten celestial chasm Invincibles were even causing storms in the Fate Realm.
***
Right as the tenth celestial chasm Invincible died.
Fate Realm.
A storm started brewing atop a certain mountain peak. Read complete versıon only at novelfire(.)net
The Fate Pseudo Emperor emerged out of thin air and looked up at the sky. A face had appeared in the sky. With boundless fury, that face roared.
"Has the war began in the Myriad Realms?"
The Fate Pseudo Emperor answered, "This is a prelude of war."
"Did the humans start it?"
"Yes."
"Damn it!" The furious face questioned, "Why did the war start so early? It hasn't even been a thousand years!"
Yes. It hadn't even been a thousand years since the start of the tenth epoch. None of them had expected the war to start so early.
The myriad races had intended to suppress the humans for now. The final war would only begin after a thousand years. That would be the best course of action. And the thousand-year limit was still quite far away.
The Fate Pseudo Emperor said calmly, "The humans are in decline. They are unwilling to suffer elimination. Thus, they took a risk and attacked the celestial chasm race."
"Damn them all!"
The furious face struggled to descend from the sky, but bolts of lightning appeared in the sky, preventing him from coming down.
The Fate Pseudo Emperor continued calmly, "Abyss Marquis, I suggest you wait. It's too early for you to descend. You won't be able to survive the tribulation."
"Damn them all! They should all die!" The furious face said, "Fateless, go! Go to the Celestial Chasm Realm and kill the humans!"
The Fate Pseudo Emperor frowned slightly and said, "Enough, Abyss Marquis. I am only here to update you, not serve you. Do you have the misconception that I am under your command?"
The furious Abyss Marquis said, "Those are humans! The myriad races will never see peace as long as they are still around!"
The two of them were fellow Daofuses. In the ancient past, a marquis was a Daofuse. In the tenth epoch, a Pseudo Emperor was a Daofuse. Thus, they were essentially equals.
The Fate Pseudo Emperor nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. But my race only serves the heavens. Your race has betrayed us. We are no longer one. Abyss Marquis, I'll be taking my leave if this is all. Of course, you are free to come down if this displeases you."
"Damn them all!"
Seeing the furiously shouting marquis, the Fate Pseudo Emperor laughed and said, "If you keep this up, I wouldn't mind taking this opportunity to punish the traitor of the fate race and remove Soulvenge."
Naturally, those words further infuriated the marquis. But the marquis was able to calm himself down before saying, "Very well. Fateless, just you wait. Wait for my arrival. I will settle scores with you then."
The Fate Pseudo Emperor chuckled and said, "What's the point of a stupid threat like this? The fate race has just as many experts up there as your race. Don't forget that your race is merely a race of traitors. The humans are your enemies. Do not dream of involving the fates or I will be the one to settle scores with you."
With a contemptuous smile, he walked away and said, "Feel free to come down if you are feeling particularly brave. Otherwise, shut your mouth. What are you doing shouting up there? Are you showing off your strength in front of me? Really?"
The face in the sky was incomparably furious.
Damn him!
Damn his arrogance
Damn it! How did the celestial chasms lose so many Eternals? Damn the humans! Why did the humans target them?
Also, wasn't Soulvenge already a Daofuse? Was he a piece of trash?
The humans had yet to produce a Daofuse this epoch! How could Soulvenge lose?
Fool!
What about the immortals, devils, divines, and dragons?
Why did they let the humans do this?
With boundless fury, he attempted to descend several times. Alas, the bolts of lightning kept stopping him, leaving him flustered and exasperated. Ultimately, he decided to not brave the tribulation.
Sure, he could always descend forcefully. But the heavenly laws were still quite powerful at this point in time. He was worried that the heavenly laws would injure him heavily after his descent. That would be troublesome. The war had barely started. He couldn't allow himself to get injured so early in the war.
"Things should be fine since Soulvenge is still alive..."
Finally, the furious face faded from the sky.
Meanwhile, the Fate Pseudo Emperor was shaking his head with contempt. What a coward. Why didn't the Abyss Marquis force his way down? If he was too cowardly to come down, why bother throwing all those threats? What a clown.
Then, the Fate Pseudo Emperor stared in a certain direction. His gaze seemed to piece through space itself to land on the Human Realm.
He sighed.
The humans...had declared war.
Perhaps this was a good thing for the human race. Since they didn't know if they still had any experts remaining up there, they might as well seize the initiative down here. The human race had suffered a disastrous defeat during the ninth epoch. This was likely the final bit of strength they could muster.
Rather than waiting for the experts from the world beyond that might or might not exist anymore, they might as well attack and slaughter all their enemies down here. Su Yu and his alliance with the ancient cities were the perfect opportunity for humanity to do something. In a way, the human race had picked the perfect timing to act.
Qin Guang and the others were surprisingly bold and decisive.
***
Human Realm.
Su Yu received a voice transmission from Zhu Tiandao, "A report has arrived from the Allheaven Prefecture. The devils, nethers, and dragons are coming with three Daofuses and over seventy Invincibles. The divines and immortals are heading toward the Celestial Chasm Realm with two Daofuses and over forty Invincibles."
So many of them.
Five Daofuses and over a hundred Invincibles.
Including the celestial chasms, humanity would be faced with six Daofuses and over a hundred and forty Invincibles. This was a far stronger force than what humanity could muster. To make things worse, there was also an unknown number of enemies hidden within the Human Realm.
Just then, Su Yu received his answer.
Numerous powerful figures emerged from all over the Human Realm.
All the hidden enemies had received their orders.
They had decided to show themselves.
Today, they would attack from the inside and the outside and break through the defenses of humanity.
With Great Qin King and the others gone, the Human Realm was far weaker than before. They could either kill or force Su Yu to flee to the Death Realm. Or they could even cause an outbreak of death spirits in the Human Realm through Su Yu.
This was a golden opportunity for them to act. As for the ancient guardians, they would be trapped in their cities again with Su Yu gone.
Even when Su Yu was still around, they weren't as fearful of the ancient guardians as before since Su Yu was still in the Human Realm. When the ancient guardians left their cities, the amount of death qi in Su Yu's body would increase exponentially, potentially causing a death spirit outbreak right inside the Human Realm.
"Wow. They sure are generous when it comes to dealing with me."
Su Yu sighed.
Just then, the voices of numerous experts rang out.
"Su Yu, die!"
"Humans, kill Su Yu and you will be spared!"
"Several Emperors are on their way. Humanity will end here!"
The voices of the various experts reverberated in the air.
The battle erupted.
Boom!
Great Yuan King and the others started fighting.
As for Su Yu, he sighed again.
Why were the myriad races so generous?
Twenty-two Invincibles. Including the two he killed earlier, there were twenty-four of them hidden in the Human Realm.
Including the two dead immortal kings, the immortals had planted eight Invincibles in the Human Realm. The devils had planted four, the divines had planted five, the nethers had planted two, the dragons had planted two, and even the celestial chasms had planted one. As for the other two, one came from the phoenix race while the other came from the...spirit race.
The spirit race was also a major race. But it had been staying away from all the previous conflicts between humanity and the major races. The spirit race was a race of translucent beings. Like the five elementals, the spirits were also born from nature. They could be further divided into plant spirits, mountain spirits, river spirits, and so on. Strictly speaking, there was a connection between the spirits and the five elementals. After all, some among the spirits also controlled the five elements.
Su Yu had not expected to see a spirit Invincible here as well. It was clear the spirits were harboring evil designs against humanity as well. They wouldn't have planted an Invincible in the Human Realm otherwise.
Su Yu had never considered the spirit race an enemy race before. Was the Spirit Pseudo Emperor joining the battle today as well?
Su Yu had no idea. He only knew that he was currently under massive pressure. Too few human Invincibles were left in the Human Realm. Meanwhile, enemy Invincibles were appearing everywhere.
Alongside the Invincibles, numerous Sunmoons and Mountainseas were appearing as well. The moment they emerged, they scattered in all directions. Zhu Tiandao and the others hurriedly moved as well. At the same time, numerous people looked at Great Zhou King and the others hopefully.
As a response, Su Yu smiled and said, "There is no rush. Great Zhou King and the others will be on standby until the situation gets dangerous."
Why were these people looking at these clones?
It would be pointless.
Naturally, not everyone was stupid. Realization dawned on some of them as horrified expressions appeared on their faces.
Those were fakes!
