Chapter 1556: Assembled Invincible (3)
"Amazing!" Su Yu laughed as he looked at the four Invincibles. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Holy shit! Why are you here as well?"
This time, the four Invincibles didn't even bother to react. He had used the same trick multiple times before. And they had fallen for it thrice. Fuck him! No expert would be able to approach them completely undetected.
Why was he still using this trick against them?
Suddenly, a laugh rang out behind them, "You are always so naughty. Why is everything a joke to you?" Google seaʀᴄh N()velFire.net
Boom!
Then, a sword shot forth and stabbed through an immortal king who had lost a body to Su Yu previously. Instantly, that body was destroyed. The third body emerged, but it was grabbed and crushed by Wan Tiansheng's palm immediately.
Boom!
More crimson clouds appeared in the sky and a rain of blood started falling.
Walking leisurely atop a River of Time, Wan Tiansheng smiled and said, "Your physical strength is quite impressive, but it's a pity. You are so talented in the power of laws. How did you become a barbarian?"
He had killed an Invincible like an ant.
Su Yu laughed heartily and said, "Amazing, Principal. Where have you been hiding previously?"
"Fortunately, you sent Lan Tian back with some useful treasures. I am almost fully recovered."
Wan Tiansheng was busy healing his wounds earlier or he would have appeared much earlier. The way he had appeared felt almost legendary. He had easily squashed an Invincible to death.
Sure, that was an injured Invincible who had lost a body, but he had still died without even knowing that Wan Tiansheng had arrived. The three Invincibles were horrified to see how strong Wan Tiansheng was.
Wan Tiansheng said, "Let's finish the job. Since you're good at brute strength, I'll stop their Rivers of Time. It's rare for us to work together. I have thought that this wouldn't happen anytime soon."
Yes. Wan Tiansheng was good at the manipulation of laws. An incredibly thick River of Time washed over and wrapped around the Rivers of Time of the three Invincibles. With a roar by Wan Tiansheng, the Heart Cultivating Pavilion emerged, transformed into a sword, and shot forth. The world itself paled at the brilliance of that sword.
Su Yu had long known that Wan Tiansheng was good at the manipulation of laws. After all, Wan Tiansheng had taken him on a trip through time and space to meet Grandstar previously. He was a terrifying expert, but he was rather lacking in pure offensive strength.
Thus, his combat strength would be comparable to a fourth or fifth degree Eternal. In a true fight to the death, he might not be able to kill such an Invincible. But right now, there was no need for him to perform the kill himself. He only needed to keep the spacetime manipulation of the Invincibles in check.
Su Yu's eyes lit up in excitement.
Holy shit!
The principal sure was helpful! With that, he would no longer need to open the death tunnel.
As Wan Tiansheng kept the three Invincibles busy alone, Su Yu opened his Heaven Gate. Then, a gigantic book appeared, covering even the sky from view. He was not going to allow even one of them to escape. He would kill them all. Without their Rivers of Time, some mere middle-degree Eternals were nothing for him.
Su Yu took in a large amount of death qi, activated his pass character, and appeared before an Invincible with a flicker. That Invincible was already used to moving through the River of Time. Thus, he was finding his movements awkward now that Wan Tiansheng was keeping his River of Time tangled.
A punch from Su Yu arrived.
Boom!
The Invincible was blasted apart. At that, Wan Tiansheng shifted the River of Time slightly. When the Invincible returned, he was greeted with yet another punch by Su Yu.
"No..."
A miserable wail reverberated in the air.
Boom!
More crimson clouds appeared in the sky. At the same time, multiple golden clouds appeared and descended upon Su Yu. He had finally accumulated enough kills for more heavenly rewards.
He took all the blood, flesh, and golden clouds into his Mark of Civilization. He was too busy to focus on the rewards. There were two more Invincibles to deal with. The fight felt a lot more comfortable with Principal Wan's assistance.
Wan Tiansheng and Su Yu were both smiling gently, one in fluttering white robes and one in fluttering black robes. Su Yu and his excessive physical prowess and Wan Tiansheng with his ability to contain the Rivers of Time of their opponents. This was a fatal combination.
"A little bit more, Principal. I'll kill him next!"
Su Yu pointed at one of the two Invincibles. Noticing that, the Invincible roared in panic and detonated his body before igniting his blood essence and vanishing into the distance.
He fled.
Yes. He fled.
He was too scared to continue the fight.
He did not fear fighting Su Yu alone since it was very difficult for Su Yu to land a hit on him. He also didn't fear fighting Wan Tiansheng as Wan Tiansheng would be too busy handling his River of Time instead of doing anything else. But the combination of Wan Tiansheng and Su Yu...was a hopeless fight for him.
The other Invincible, a devil king, attempted to do the same and flee as well. However, his body was cut apart by Wan Tiansheng before he could self-detonate. Then, Su Yu's punch arrived as he roared, "The fuck are you running for?"
Were Invincibles so useless? Only two were dead. One had escaped, but this devil king was an Invincible as well, right? Why was he running away? Just stay and fight!
The punch blasted the body apart. Wan Tiansheng manipulated the River of Time, hastening the return of the devil king. Instantly, the devil king returned only to be met with Su Yu's fist.
Boom!
And finally, the devil king was dead. Everything had happened in mere moments. In fact, Wan Tiansheng hadn't even arrived for five seconds and three of the Invincibles were already dead, with one fleeing after sacrificing a body. That attracted the gaze of numerous experts. Everyone had different expressions.
Wan Tiansheng. Su Yu.
When working together...they were horrifying.
The battle had just started yet four Invincibles had died. Great Qin King had killed one while Wan Tiansheng and Su Yu had killed three. Invincibles were falling like rain.
At that point, some of the minor race Invincibles had arrived. There were about ten of them so far. They all had solemn expressions.
They had just arrived. They had witnessed how Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng had killed three Invincibles in the blink of an eye. They were terrified.
It was only natural for them to feel fear.
Someone sighed and said, "With Wan Tiansheng controlling time and space and Su Yu attacking the bodies, anyone who is not a late-degree Eternal will merely be throwing their life away attacking them."
The two weren't Invincibles. Yet an ancient expert had declared that nobody below the late-degree Eternal Realm stood a chance against them. Their combination was simply a perfect match.
Su Yu had the offensive strength of a late-degree Eternal while Wan Tiansheng had the control of a late-degree Eternal toward time and space. Together, they were akin to a late-degree Eternal.
Ignoring the Invincibles around them, Su Yu looked at Wan Tiansheng and sighed, "Principal, your River of Time is getting even thicker than before. How did you accomplish this? Can you teach me?"
He still seemed as cheerful as ever, as though he was completely unbothered by the difficult battle ahead of him.
Wan Tiansheng laughed and said, "What's the rush? This isn't something you can do quickly. How can I be your principal without being capable enough myself?"
Su Yu laughed again. Old Wan was indeed impressive.
Without Old Wan, it would have taken Su Yu a lot more time to kill the three Invincibles. He also had to fight a lot more carefully to prevent them from turning the situation around. But with Wan Tiansheng around, the fight became much simpler and enjoyable.
Yes. Enjoyable. After all, missing his attacks all the time was greatly annoying. That would no longer be an issue. With Old Wan around, he no longer feared the Invincibles' control over the laws. He no longer needed to take the beating of the Invincibles helplessly.
***
The change attracted numerous gazes.
Immortal Realm.
Tiangu had an unsightly expression. He had not seen this combination coming. The four Invincibles had been defeated just as the reinforcements arrived. Tiangu turned and looked inside the Immortal Realm with a deep frown. They had deployed a lot of immortal kings for this.
If they were to deploy more...he looked in Eastrift Valley's direction. There, numerous human experts were waiting. If more immortal kings were deployed, the humans would definitely attack.
What was the point of killing Su Yu if they couldn't even protect their home? Tiangu forced himself to calm down and looked in the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion's direction. That man must have seen and sensed the same as well. Would he be able to keep ignoring Su Yu?
***
Heavenly Hunt Pavilion.
The Heavenly Overseer Marquis was deep in thought. He felt as though he was looking at Culture King. He saw Culture King's shadow in both Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng.
They were all so similar.
It was as though Culture King had been reborn.
When the two smiled, it felt as though Culture King was smiling at him. That smile. That chilling smile.
He shut his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes and ordered, "Kill Su Yu."
The pavilion Invincibles were surprised to hear that. Were they really joining the battle? Was the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion not staying neutral anymore?
Chapter 1557: Great Deceit King (1)
Were there experts in the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion?
Many.
The heads of the spires and chambers were all incredibly strong.
Zhu Tianfang was a middle-degree Eternal and he was only a Yellow Department head back when he was in the pavilion. Zhou Tianyuan, who was stronger, was the Profound Department head back then. And the heads of the Profound and Yellow Departments were known to be the weakest back then.
The various heads were shocked at the order to kill Su Yu. They had been neutral for nine epochs. Finally, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was stopping their neutrality.
The ancient cities had also ended their neutrality. They had picked Su Yu. But that did not mean that they had picked the human race. However, the pavilion's choice to kill Su Yu would most certainly make them the enemy of humanity.
After a short silence, the first elder of the enforcers said, "He deserves death. In that case, we'll do so. He has killed many enforcer elders..."
"Go."
The Heavenly Overseer Marquis did not bother to say much. He merely waved his hand at them. Apart from him, there were six more Invincibles present. Each was a respectable expert.
Among them, the heads of the South Chamber and West Spire were late-degree Eternals. The participation of such experts could change many things. They were probably strong enough to suppress even the combination of Wan Tiansheng and Su Yu.
They said nothing else and vanished with a flicker. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was joining the battle. While staring into the distance, Heavenly Overseer Marquis blanked out as he sank in recollections of the past.
"Have I...still picked this choice?"
He recalled how Culture King had asked him many years ago if he would manage the Heavenly Supervising Pavilion well at the event of Culture King's disappearance or death. Back then, he had given an answer without any hesitation.
He had promised to manage the pavilion well. A hundred thousand years had passed since then. During the first three epochs, he waited for Culture King's return. During the middle three epochs, he started feeling disappointed. He started hesitating. He started doubting Culture King.
At the seventh epoch, he started believing that Culture King would not return. Thus, he started refining the Heavenly Hunt Index into his own weapon. Sixty thousand years. He had chosen to carry out an act of betrayal after sixty thousand years.
He was terrified of Culture King. He wouldn't have waited sixty thousand years otherwise. Even when there were so many rumors claiming that Culture King was dead, he had still waited for sixty thousand years due to his fear.
But from the seventh epoch, he started being himself. It was then that the pavilion was renamed into the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Its unofficial name had become its official name.
***
In the sky.
Su Yu was taking on more and more death qi, to the point his robes were turning darker and darker. He was looking into the distance with a frown.
Without a change in expression, Wan Tiansheng sent a voice transmission, "Trouble seems to be coming. Something is happening."
The two floated in the sky, one in black robes and one in white robes, forming a stark contrast with each other. Numerous minor race Invincibles surrounded them, but none dared to step forth. All of them were hesitating.
Even so, Su Yu could sense the arrival of something dangerous. His combination with Wan Tiansheng must have crossed the line of some people. Just as that thought crossed his mind, the air started rippling.
Then, six powerful individuals appeared. All of them were wearing golden masks.
Heavenly Hunt Pavilion!
Su Yu sighed. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion...and the Heavenly Overseer Marquis had reached a decision.
Wan Tiansheng's expression changed. He coldly said, "The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion has stayed neutral for many years. As an independent party, your mysteriousness is your greatest trump card. Are you finally making your choice?"
Many people were relieved to see the arrival of the six experts. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had made a choice. This was not as simple as the addition of six experts. They represented the Heavenly Overseer Marquis. Since such a choice had been made, the Heavenly Overseer Marquis would not shy from making a move anymore.
An ancient marquis who was perhaps one of the oldest among the ancient past survivors had acted. Numerous people grew excited.
The first enforcer elder sighed and said, "We are only here for Su Yu. He killed many of our elders..."
Su Yu laughed, "What are you saying? Senior Zhu Tianfang did that. How am I at fault for that? In fact, I boosted the popularity of the pavilion with my actions in the Human Realm. Even now, I'm still an elder of the pavilion. Are you turning against one of your own?"
The first enforcer elder couldn't argue against that, so he didn't bother to argue. Since they had decided to fight, it was pointless to say more as they would only embarrass themselves doing that.
Numerous Rivers of Time unfurled in the sky as the first enforcer elder looked at the surrounding Invincibles and said, "If you don't have the courage to attack, please keep Wan Tiansheng in check with your control over time and space."
The minor race Invincibles were overjoyed to hear that. What a good idea.
Instantly, sixteen more Rivers of Time unfurled. The rivers crossed each other, seemingly forming a net of rivers in the area. They were doing this to interrupt Wan Tiansheng's ability to stop their manipulation of laws. Thıs text ıs hosted at novel·fire·net
That wasn't even difficult. Wan Tiansheng might be strong, but he still wasn't an Invincible. In fact, the sixteen minor race Invincibles were strong enough to kill both Wan Tiansheng and Su Yu. They had merely been hesitating since they didn't want to be the unlucky ones to die in the process.
Thus, they were more than happy to be relegated to the supportive position while those from the pavilion fought. Su Yu inhaled deeply as the Heaven Gate appeared on his forehead. Trouble was knocking.
In that case, this was probably the best time to open the death tunnel. After all, there were too many enemies here for him and Wan Tiansheng to deal with. The question was...how should he kick all these people down the tunnel? It wouldn't be easy. Perhaps he should step into the tunnel himself to lure these people down? He was only worried that they would refuse to take the bait.
He took the Mark of Civilization back. The Mark of Civilization shone brightly as over three hundred projections emerged from it. All of them were Sunmoons, with those from the divine, devil, and immortal pages looking particularly strong since they were all roughly sixth or seventh degree Sunmoons. However, this was far from enough.
All these projections were only strong enough to take the attacks of these Invincibles once or twice. Su Yu did not use the Mark of Civilization on himself. Rather, he transformed it into a white robe before draping it over Wan Tiansheng.
When Wan Tiansheng looked at him, he smiled and said, "Principal, your body is too weak."
Both him and Wan Tiansheng could only die once due to their lack of tri-life bodies. Wan Tiansheng laughed. Was he weak? Fine, fine, his body was indeed weak compared to Su Yu. The book was an incredibly powerful heaven weapon. Wan Tiansheng could feel it. It was strong enough to receive several attacks from a middle-degree Eternal.
He inhaled deeply as he regarded the surrounding Invincibles. He asked, "What is your current cultivation level?"
"Cloudbreach body and Mountainsea willpower."
"Cloudbreach..." Wan Tiansheng laughed bitterly, "Fighting Mountainseas as a Cloudbreach. Kid, you messed with my calculations."
Su Yu knew what the principal was talking about. He merely laughed as more and more death qi seeped out of his body. That was not his fault. Wan Tiansheng was the one who had decided to take a peek at the future. This had nothing to do with him.
"So be it. As your principal, let me give you a lesson on the laws today."
Wan Tiansheng said, "We cultural researchers should be the best at the manipulation of laws. You are a fake cultural researcher. Learn from me."
With a roar by Wan Tiansheng, a wave of willpower rippled out of him. Then, he tore an opening in the air.
Finally, he stepped atop a River of Time. He said, "Come on. Don't worry. As usual, I'll take you on a trip to the past and future. We will be killing their tri-life bodies. The Three Body Method is the most useless of all. We can easily kill their past and future in the river without worrying about the backlash since none of us has a past or future body."
With a smile, Su Yu stepped atop the river as well. The two of them were akin to tiny boats atop a berserk ocean. Twenty-two Rivers of Time descended upon them and formed twenty-two tributaries on the river.
With Su Yu in tow, Wan Tiansheng vanished atop one of the rivers. A massive frog emerged from that river. When the frog noticed them, he paled with fright and hurriedly severed the connection.
Alas, Wan Tiansheng was already on it. Trapped on the river with them, the frog was unable to escape. A punch from Su Yu arrived.
Boom!
The river snapped while the frog was blasted apart.
At the same time, one of the sixteen minor race Invincibles groaned before splitting into three bodies. A fist appeared behind the past body right as it appeared.
Boom!
A loud rumble rang out, causing the surrounding Invincibles to shiver.
Boom!
The past body exploded while the fist vanished, as though it was never there. It was akin to a punch from the past, a punch that had erased the past.
"Impudent!"
The pavilion Invincibles were greatly alarmed. Wan Tiansheng's grasp over the power of time was too solid. He was able to easily traverse the past and future.
***
Boom!
Wan Tiansheng's River of Time started shaking violently, but he ignored it. Instead, he sent a voice transmission to Su Yu, "I won't be able to last long. Make them fear. Make the minor race Invincibles so scared that they leave."
Deterrance. That was the only thing they could achieve in such a situation. Wan Tiansheng did not expect to kill any Invincible facing so many of them. For him, killing some tri-life bodies was already the limit of what they could do.
"Do you have any other trump cards?"
Wan Tiansheng asked. If that was all Su Yu had, this would be all they could do for now. As far as he was concerned, this wasn't a bad ending. They had killed enough Invincibles. This could already be considered an advantageous exchange for them.
In life, too much greed was pointless. Thus, he only pursued comfort. To pursue things that would give his mind comfort. Even in the event of defeat, he would die laughing, knowing he had done what he wanted and all he could. There was no helping it, as he was too young compared to these ancient experts.
"I have...one final trump card. Don't worry. I'll run with you when things get troublesome."
That was Su Yu's answer. There was nothing to fear. They could flee into the Death Realm when things got thorny. Fleeing was their natural choice. Were they supposed to stay and embrace death?
With He Tu around, he wouldn't be too helpless in the Death Realm. As for Old Wan...at worst, he only needed to have He Tu convert him. There was nothing to fear. The two continued roaming the river. With a rumble, Wan Tiansheng stepped onto another tributary.
They had barely caught sight of the owner of that river when the connection was severed. An entire river had vanished.
That was merely a minor race Invincible. At the moment, he was escaping with a pale expression. Even when facing the gazes of the other experts, he continued fleeing while gnashing his teeth.
He did not want to die here. He was the sole pillar of his race. The immortals might have promised them protection, but huge changes were happening across the Myriad Realms. Could the immortals still provide the promised protection?
Nobody could be more reliable than himself. With him around, the immortals would need to deploy at least six or seven Invincibles just to invade his realm.
"I...can't die!"
With that thought, he fled without any hesitation. He realized that his action might have attracted the hatred of the immortals, but he didn't stop. He didn't even bother to stay near the battlefield.
Run!
The expressions of the other Invincibles changed drastically.
He fled!
How brazen! Was he not afraid of the immortals?
Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng were surprised to see that. In truth, the so-called myriad races were essentially a collection of races split under the rule of only several major races. Humanity wasn't even one of the rulers as they had barely any friends among the other top hundred races. None was supposed to have the courage to defy the immortals, devils, and divines.
Thus, the fleeing Invincible needed a lot of courage to do this. The two did not bother to give chase. This wasn't a bad thing. In fact, this was much better than expected. This was a good sign. Just as that thought crossed their minds, Old Wan's river shook again. With a rumble, six thick rivers wrapped around it. Then, six Invincibles appeared on the river.
"Such minor tricks won't work."
The six experts surrounded the two.
Su Yu grinned, pointed at the person speaking, and declared, "You shall serve as my target. You're the first enforcer elder of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, right? You talk too much nonsense. Even if I have to die today, I will drag you down with me."
Chapter 1558: Great Deceit King (2)
"Die!"
Su Yu and Old Wan moved together without a need to communicate with each other. The two attacked with great precision and zero hesitation. The six reacted by attacking, but the two did not even bother to block any of their incoming attacks. They only focused on attacking.
This was indeed a fight to the death. Old Wan's river suddenly snapped, interrupting the first enforcer elder momentarily. Taking that chance, Su Yu threw a punch with all his strength, allowing all the attacks sent his way to land on him.
Since he had promised to kill the first enforcer elder, he naturally needed to keep his promise. As a middle-degree Eternal, the first enforcer elder had done nothing but spew nonsense out of his mouth. Su Yu was determined to risk injury just to kill the elder.
The elder felt like cursing.
Damn it!
Madman!
Did the two not want to keep living? What was this?
"Kill them!"
He wailed in desperation. The two lunatics were without any additional lives. Meanwhile, the heads of the West Spire and South Chamber were both late-stage Eternals. Why were Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng ignoring their attacks?
Were they really mad? Yes. They must be completely mad. He started fleeing. He couldn't even flee riding his River of Time as it had snapped alongside Old Wan's river. He didn't even hesitate as he knew what would come after the removal of his river.
He did not intend to be the sacrifice to the lives of the two lunatics. They would never survive this. Why should he die with them? The first enforcer elder kept cursing inwardly as he fled. Just then, Su Yu's fist arrived.
The first enforcer elder blanked out. Why was he so fast? Did nobody try to stop him? Suddenly, the West Spire head's sword turned around to strike the palm of the South Chamber head. Originally, Su Yu was the recipient of that palm attack.
The West Spire head was supposed to be targeting Wan Tiansheng, but he had switched his target at the last moment, allowing Su Yu to throw his punch at the fleeing elder without any interruption.
Boom!
The first enforcer elder's body crumbled as he roared with fury, "You traitor!"
"Traitor?"
The West Spire head replied indifferently, "No, I'm not. The Heavenly Overseer Marquis is the traitor here. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion belongs to Culture King's line. And Culture King's line belongs to humanity. Who is the traitor here?"
The South Chamber head drew a sword and said, "West Spire, don't forget that a hundred thousand years have passed since the ancient past."
The West Spire head replied, "I am aware of that. But that doesn't change anything. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion belongs to humanity."
Instantly, the two top experts clashed, filling the sky with the projections of their swords even as space shattered around them.
Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng were both surprised to see that. They had been prepared to kill the first enforcer elder at the risk of their lives. In fact, Su Yu was already prepared to open the death tunnel and flee into the Death Realm with his heavy injuries after the kill.
But the same thing happened again. Read complete versıon only at novel·fire.net
Someone had stepped forth to help humanity yet again.
Su Yu was left quite speechless. He had lost count of pro-humanity heads in the pavilion. The heads of the West Spire, Heaven, Profound, and Yellow Departments were all pro-human.
Just how did the Heavenly Overseer Marquis come to trust these people? Did he believe that they had all been brainwashed by him? But would a human cease being a human so easily? Before long, a River of Time appeared and a new first enforcer elder emerged.
But before Su Yu could attack, the other Invincibles arrived. The heads of the North Chamber, Earth Department, and Profound Department shouted together, "Those outside! Join us!"
Damn it!
The West Spire head had turned against them!
***
Heavenly Hunt Pavilion.
The scholar did not appear surprised. He merely sighed with regret. Sure enough, life and death, race, and faith were not things that could change easily. No matter what, Culture King was the true master of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion.
Some of the old fossils were aware of this. Some humans also loved infiltrating the pavilion. or to be precise, it didn't matter if one knew. Generation after generation, numerous humans had joined the pavilion.
During the first six epochs, the pavilion had not dared to kill these humans. They had accepted these humans for fear of retribution. The scholar was aware that both the West Spire and Heaven Department heads were humans. But they were humans from the first six epochs.
Even after so long, the West Spire head had still defected. The West Spire head had betrayed him. Their loyalty toward the Culture King was still stronger. The scholar wasn't surprised.
In fact, this deployment was a form of test. The scholar could only admit that he had overestimated his charm and underestimated their loyalty toward their own.
Step by step, he walked out of the main hall.
A golden page floated above his palm.
It was time for him to make a move. It was time for a cleansing in the pavilion. There were simply too many humans in their ranks. Since he had picked a side, this was unavoidable.
***
At the same time.
In his stone statue form, the old turtle shifted his body slightly. Then, he transformed into his human form outside the city. He looked down at the city before looking up at Su Yu. After thinking about it, he laughed.
Could Su Yu do it?
Probably.
But he was quite confident in Su Yu. The kid should be able to take on his burden for a bit, even if his burden was excessively heavy. Unfortunately, he had to remove his city.
That was the only way he could fight the Heavenly Overseer Marquis. Otherwise, he wouldn't be a match since the Heavenly Overseer Marquis was equipped with the Heavenly Supervising Catalog.
At that thought, the city transformed into a golden robe. Yes. His weapon was not offensive in nature. It was a defensive weapon. During the ancient past, the grand dream turtles were known for their defensive prowess that was comparable to the 72-Forged Iron Devourer of the iron devourers.
And the golden robe, with its 144 golden stripes, was a powerful defensive weapon meant to strengthen his defense. A smile appeared on the old turtle's face. He wasn't too good in a fight, but the Heavenly Overseer Marquis would need to get through his turtle shell before talking about anything else. After ripping a portal in the air, the old turtle stepped through it.
At the same time, the Heavenly Overseer Marquis paused slightly. Then, he strode forth. Outside, a delicate youth was waiting. He asked, "Brother Grand Dream, are you here to stop me?"
The old turtle smiled, "You jest, Marquis. I have to do something. After all, that is a mayor of the holy cities."
"Spirit Suppression General, the Devote King once offered you the title of a marquis. Why did you refuse the title?"
The old turtle said, "That's merely a rumor. You can't trust rumors. There is some truth to it, but it's not entirely accurate. The Devote King said that I would need to watch the tunnel on the seventh level after my advancement. I gave up since that job was too difficult."
The Heavenly Overseer Marquis chucked, "I see."
"Shall we start, Brother?"
"Let's."
The two smiled courteously before ripping space apart and stepping into the void. They did not start fighting immediately. Rather, both vanished right after stepping into the boundless void. Two rays of light could be seen shooting far away.
With each step, the two seemed to have returned to the past. With another step, they moved to the future. Behind them, corpses dropped. A larger number of the corpses had the appearance of the Heavenly Overseer Marquis, while a smaller number of the corpses had the appearance of the old turtle.
When the Heavenly Overseer Marquis pulled out his Heavenly Supervising Catalog, the old turtle was starting to find it difficult to continue advancing. He sighed and said, "Is it proper to use a belonging of the Culture King against humanity and me?"
"I have no other choice."
"True. It's too late for you to turn back. It's but a mere weapon. Must you really make it yours? But not even that is a big deal. The Culture King might forgive you for that. And he is most likely dead. Why would Su Yu make life difficult for you because of this?"
"I don't have the courage to bet on them. I am unwilling to hand my fate in the hands of others. Please understand me, Brother Grand Dream."
"I understand. But it's never yours. You're also not enough to handle me. I might not be that good at fighting, but you won't be that much better at it than me..."
As the two conversed nonchalantly, corpses continued piling behind him.
More and more of them were appearing.
Countless old turtles died. Countless Heavenly Overseer Marquises died. With each step they took, some would die. A short while later, the Heavenly Overseer Marquis groaned as blood dripped down his mouth. He looked at the old turtle bitterly and said, "I...You are indeed as strong as a marquis. You are very good at hiding your strength, Brother Grand Dream."
"You're too kind." The old turtle said, "But this is mostly because the Heavenly Supervising Catalog is not yours. You wasted too much of your strength on it, to the point you're now weaker than me. Heavenly Overseer Marquis, just give up."
"That is not possible."
In such a manner, the two continued conversing while strolling like old friends, a trail of corpses behind them.
***
Immortal Realm.
The look in Tiangu's eyes shifted. Suddenly, a coffin appeared and shot toward Su Yu. The old turtle was kept busy by the Heavenly Overseer Marquis. The old turtle was the one Tiangu had been wary of all along. That turtle was simply too old.
At the same time, the old turtle sighed and tossed a turtle shell out to block the coffin. He said, "Tiangu, don't bother with these tricks. If you can break my shell, I'll allow you to kill Su Yu."
Tiangu had an unsightly expression, but he said nothing. Right at that moment, a chant sounded and spread across the Myriad Realms.
***
Spluuurt!
Suddenly, Su Yu coughed a mouthful of blood. He felt as though his head was about to burst apart.
Something seemed to be attacking his sea of willpower. Fortunately, the Culture Tomb had slowed the attack slightly, giving the golden book the chance to defeat the invading dark energy.
Wan Tiansheng's expression changed drastically. His refined smile faded, replaced by an expression of boundless fury as he roared, "Bastard! Shameless! As a Pseudo Emperor, why are you ambushing a mere Cloudbreach?"
A figure had appeared far in the horizon.
A figure shrouded in darkness.
The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor.
Yes. He had mounted a sneak attack against Su Yu earlier.
The Pseudo Emperor clicked his tongue and said, "What a good treasure. Su Yu, you are indeed blessed by luck."
Just as the old turtle and Tiangu acted, he had moved as well. He was very powerful. He was also the sole Daofuse the celestial chasm race had produced after the collapse of the ancient past.
However, his curse had been stopped by Su Yu. It was unbelievable. A powerful treasure must be at work there. He was certain that there was a supreme treasure on Su Yu. It might even be a divine weapon. After all, that attack of his couldn't be stopped by even a peak heaven weapon.
Everyone present was shocked. Such an effort just to kill Su Yu. A hunt of Su Yu by the myriad races.
The Divine Pseudo Emperor, Immortal Pseudo Emperor, Nether Pseudo Emperor, Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor, and Heavenly Overseer Marquis had acted. Five Daofuses. Just to kill Su Yu.
The Devil Pseudo Emperor would have acted as well if it weren't for the recent loss of his tri-life bodies. There were also three Daofuses fighting on Su Yu's fight. Additionally, there were more than ten ninth-degree Eternals in the fight as well. This was probably the biggest battle in the history of the tenth epoch. Too many top experts were involved.
Chapter 1559: Great Deceit King (3)
Experts were arriving one after another. Some would help Su Yu while some would help the myriad races.
As for Su Yu, he only had one thought in his mind: opening the death tunnel and fleeing.
Holy shit!
He had nearly died.
The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor had acted.
The Dragon Pseudo Emperor might take part as well. He was most likely waiting for a better opportunity to act. And at that point, escaping might no longer be possible. Just as Su Yu was about to start his escape, the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor looked forth in surprise.
Biting sounds rang out from the empty air he was staring at. Abruptly, a gigantic figure emerged out of thin air. The newcomer seemed to be chewing on something unknown.
While chewing, the newcomer smiled and said, "You can't kill Su Yu! Not long ago, the laws of our great ancestor reacted to something. Su Yu seems to have completed the seventy-two forgings of my race. Therefore, you are not allowed to kill him."
"Iron devourer..."
The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor was greatly shaken.
The iron devourers had picked a side this epoch. Why?
He asked, "Why? The iron devourers had remained neutral even during the ninth epoch with that man around. Why choose Su Yu? I don't understand."

The gigantic iron devourer flashed a silly smile and said, "Because...that man didn't complete the seventy-two forgings. I only know one thing. Since Su Yu has completed the 72-Forged Iron Devourer, he is our ally. He can't deny that since he cultivates the cultivation method of my race."
Su Yu hurriedly nodded his head in agreement.
Holy shit!
Yes! He would accept this! He could even call that giant bear his daddy if that was enough to secure their help. What a surprise. This was truly a surprise. He had been planning to flee when a fat--cough, cough, a super expert dropped down from the sky.
What a pleasant surprise.
The Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor continued chewing on something. Only then did some people notice what he was chewing. Numerous people shivered at the sight of that. He was eating a dragon. A large dragon.
It merely looked small in his hand. And it was still alive. The Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor was eating a dragon alive.
An Invincible dragon.
With the same silly smile on his face, the Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor said, "Su Yu said that the immortals are delicious. I disagree. The dragons taste better. I'm serious. The dragons taste great. I have always loved eating dragons. Their livers taste even better. Of course, Tiangu might really be delicious. I still remember that fragrance not long ago...but he won't be that easy to eat."
Just then, the big furball's voice rang out, "Fatty! Old Turtle! Can we switch opponents? Jiwu tastes bad! He stinks! I want to fight Tiangu with my wife!"
He was sick of his stinky opponent. He much preferred Tiangu. Googlᴇ search novel~fire~net
"No thanks."
"Nope."
"..."
The big furball was displeased. In his fury, a massive ball replaced the sky above them. Above the ball was a black hole, or to be precise, a mouth.
The big furball roared, "I am angry! Jiwu and the others have angered me! I will eat both the Divine and Nether Realms!"
"Wife, eat their realms!"
Then, the entire sky was replaced by two boundlessly large mouths. Under everyone's shocked gazes, the two abandoned their initial opponents. Their initial opponents were too annoying. They had decided to eat the homes of their opponents instead.
The two mouths continued growing. Eventually, they grew large enough to reach the Divine and Nether Realms. The expressions of the Divine and Nether Pseudo Emperors changed as they cursed.
Damn it!
These lunatics! They had nobody to lose except the one with Su Yu. When they were annoyed enough, they would start killing indiscriminately since they had nothing to lose.
Boom!
The two hurriedly rushed back to their respective realms to stop the two large mouths. Unlike the two furballs, everyone else had too many to lose. If the two were allowed to swallow their realms, even if they couldn't digest the realms, countless people inside the realms would die.
The losses would be disastrous.
***
Su Yu was greatly amazed by what he saw.
He started patting the little furball in his head, promising to treat the little fellow well in the future. The little fellow's Dada and Mama were simply too impressive. And they had nothing to lose. They were completely unlike Great Qin King and the others, who had many things to consider before doing anything.
How terrifying. If anyone else dared to try the same, they would be met with the same action as retribution. However, that wasn't possible with the two furballs.
"Pay attention!"
Wan Tiansheng berated him. What was this kid doing? Even now, they were still surrounded by multiple Invincibles. Was the kid trying to die by blanking out in such a situation?
Su Yu sighed and said, "How amazing. If I were this amazing, I would definitely slaughter those in the Divine, Devil, and Immortal Realms as well. I will turn them all into snacks for the Iron Devourer and Soul Devourer Pseudo Emperors."
He said it nonchalantly, but the surrounding Invincibles shivered at his words. He spoke with an incredibly light tone, as though he was joking. But they could feel that this might not necessarily be a joke. They could totally see him doing that.
In the entirety of the Myriad Realms, very few people could compare against Su Yu in viciousness and ruthlessness.
Suddenly, Su Yu shouted, "Now, Head!"
At that, the pavilion Invincibles shook slightly. Was there another traitor among them?
Boom!
With a rumble, the second body of the first enforcer elder was blasted apart by Su Yu. Wan Tiansheng followed with a swing of his sword, cutting the River of Time apart. The first enforcer elder was forced to return faster, only to be met with Wan Tiansheng's palm. He died.
Silence descended.
Nine Invincibles had died so far. Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng had killed four of them. Prior to that, Su Yu had also killed four with the assistance of the guardians. Meanwhile, Great Qin King had only killed one.
Even knowing that Su Yu had employed trickery in his kills, the various Invincibles still distanced themselves from each other in fear. They were still wary. After all, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had produced too many traitors. They couldn't help but be wary. Trust between them had been destroyed.
If the heads of the West Spire, Profound Department, and Yellow Department could defect, who could say that there weren't more? Nothing was more important than their own lives. Far away, the Heavenly Overseer Marquis sighed with regret. He felt very helpless.
Even if he were to declare that there were no traitors left, nobody would trust him. After all, too many traitors had appeared.
Even Tiangu was losing his temper as he cursed in rage, "Are all of them so useless? There were over twenty of them yet they can't even kill only two non-Eternals?"
He was bursting with rage. He was patient, but this was too infuriating. What was this? The Eternals they deployed for this were enough to kill even a ninth-degree Eternal. How did they fail to defeat Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng? Multiple Daofuses had been forced to act this time, but they had still failed.
Tiangu asked, "Dragon Pseudo Emperor, are you not doing anything?"
He could no longer rely on the Eternals. They were too disappointing. How? How did they fail when there were so many of them? One had fled, one had lost a tri-life body, while the remaining fourteen were fighting half-heartedly.
If they had tried a tiny bit harder, the first enforcer elder wouldn't have died. But none of them had tried to save the first enforcer elder. They merely watched on as the elder was killed. Were they here to fight or were they here to sightsee? At this point, Tiangu could only place his hope on the Dragon Pseudo Emperor.
Could the humans produce someone capable of handling the Dragon Pseudo Emperor? The appearance of the Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor was surprising as well. After all, he had stayed neutral for nine epochs. Why did he act this time? He had claimed that he did it for the 72-Forged Iron Devourer, but nobody knew if that was the real reason.
Then again, it did not matter. Balance would be restored after Su Yu's death. A majority of these helpers had appeared for Su Yu, not humanity. It was clear how important Su Yu was.
***
Near Eastrift Valley.
Great Zhou King watched in silence. He was also surprised at the sight of so many helpers, such as the Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor.
He had never imagined this happening. As for Tiangu, his coffin had been stopped by the old turtle. Tiangu himself was still hiding in the Immortal Realm. Great Zhou King looked in the direction of the Dragon Realm. Would the Dragon Pseudo Emperor act as well? He was unsure, but the likelihood was quite high.
After a short silence, Great Zhou King manifested a character. At the same time, a black hole appeared in the sky.
He looked at the other human Invincibles and said, "Get on it. Do not resist. Now."
The Invincibles looked at Great Zhou King solemnly. One of them asked, "A transportation character?"
"Get on it."
Great Zhou King did not answer, causing the Invincibles to hesitate. Even so, they did as told and stepped on the black hole. Great Zhou King continued, "When we reach our destination, start killing indiscriminately. Thirty seconds. Return to the character again after that regardless of what's happening. Do you understand me?"
Great Yuan King said with an awkward expression, "Old Zhou, can you change your appearance before talking? Even your character is out. Why are you still keeping your disguise?"
Great Zhou King chuckled, "Old Qin looks a lot more ferocious. Stop wasting time. Let's do it."
Before long, all of them were on the black hole.
Great Zhou King manifested another character, covering all of them with it. Instantly, all their presences vanished. That was a character similar to the calm character in function. With a wave of his hand, he manifested over twenty other characters. Each of these characters was emanating a powerful aura, but they also felt rather weak for some reason. All of them transformed into the appearance of the various human Invincibles.
With another wave of Great Zhou King's hand, all of them shot toward the immortal border, looking as though they were going to exert more pressure on the immortals. The human Invincibles watched in silence and shock. This geezer had an incredibly large number of tricks up his sleeves.
Not even Great Qin King was comparable...no, that was unfair. Apart from swinging his spear, Great Qin King knew nothing. Then, Great Zhou King waited silently. After about a minute, he activated the teleportation. Next, everyone appeared before a realm entrance.
"Kill!"
Great Zhou King wasted no time and killed the Invincible guarding the entrance with a palm strike. The other Invincibles did not even have the time to determine their location.
They started killing.
In such a situation, they only needed to follow their military orders.
After killing the Invincible guarding the entrance, Great Zhou King stepped through it and sent a palm attack downward. A massive city was instantly flattened alongside countless dragons.
Only then did the others notice that they were in the Dragon Realm. Not far from the Dragon Realm, the Dragon Pseudo Emperor was just about to join the battle. Suddenly, he roared, transformed into a gigantic dragon, and returned to the Dragon Realm.
Meanwhile, Tiangu looked in the Eastrift Valley's direction, staring through space itself. But he saw over twenty human Invincibles waiting there.
He blanked out.
What was going on?
In the Dragon Realm, numerous Invincibles attacked indiscriminately, completely unaffected by the suppressive force. One Mountainsea dragon after another died. One Sunmoon dragon after another died. In the blink of an eye, thousands upon thousands died.
This was too sudden.
A dragon Invincible, who was approaching the human Invincibles, hurriedly turned around to flee. But he was blasted apart in the blink of an eye. He had been thoroughly killed before he could even react.
Two Invincibles had died just like that. Far away, numerous dragon Invincibles soared into the sky with horrified expressions.
"The humans are attacking!"
Countless dragons wailed in fear and panic. Chaos engulfed the Dragon Realm.
Suddenly, Great Zhou King shouted, "Get back on the character!"
All the Invincibles did as told.
Great Zhou King stepped through the realm entrance and vanished with a hum. Immediately after, the Dragon Pseudo Emperor arrived. When he went through the entrance and laid eyes on the Dragon Realm, he roared in fury. It had been less than thirty seconds.
In such a short time, the dragon race had lost two Invincibles, hundreds of Sunmoons, and countless dragons below that realm. The two cities near the realm entrance had been completely flattened. Nothing was left.
"Humans!"
The Dragon Pseudo Emperor roared with boundless fury.
Humans.
***
With a flicker, Great Zhou King reappeared at the Eastrift Valley with the other Invincibles.
Many of them had blank expressions.
What did they do earlier?
This was too sudden.
They had appeared outside the Dragon Realm, entered, slaughtered, flattened cities...before returning. Was that it? They still couldn't process what they just did. All of them stared at Great Zhou King in shock. This fellow...was a tad bit too terrifying.
Meanwhile, Great Zhou King said nothing. He looked in the Dragon Realm's direction silently. He was daring the Dragon Pseudo Emperor to try joining the battle without saying it. He didn't even need to say anything. He only needed to make sure the Dragon Pseudo Emperor wouldn't have the courage to join the battle.
This was also a warning to the other Pseudo Emperors. He was daring all of them to join the battle. In fact, he was also pressuring the Pseudo Emperors already in the battle, such as the celestial chasm, such as Tiangu, such as the nether...
They better be careful. He was capable of transporting dozens of Invincibles anywhere instantly. Any realm without the protection of its Pseudo Emperor had the risk of being slaughtered. They had merely killed two Invincibles in the short invasion, but that short invasion was comparable to killing a Pseudo Emperor.
The various Daofuses were overwhelmed with shock. It occurred to them that Great Zhou King...possessed the ability to transport a large number of people instantaneously, and he was capable of doing it across massive distances.
The range he could cover was too big. An excessive amount of strength was required to withstand the pressure associated with transporting so many Invincibles. How did he even accomplish that?
Great Zhou King continued standing there expressionlessly. Nobody should bother asking. He would not answer. It didn't matter if he had harmed himself doing that. More importantly, was he scary? Was he scary enough for them?
Yes? Good. That was enough.
Beneath his calm exterior, underneath his robes, numerous cracks appeared on his skin. However, his blood would vanish right after seeping out, keeping his robes completely clean. He looked in the Immortal Realm's direction, as though he was meeting Tiangu's gaze and daring Tiangu to leave.
***
Su Yu was shocked. Wan Tiansheng was blanking out.
Since when was Great Zhou King...so amazing? They were prepared to flee right after the Dragon Pseudo Emperor arrived. But once again, they had been stopped from fleeing. Would the Dragon Pseudo Emperor still have the courage to leave after that?
In the blink of an eye, the dragons had lost three Invincibles, including the one who had died earlier.
Up until now, eleven Invincibles had died.
Su Yu sent a voice transmission, "Principal, I think we don't need to run anymore."
Why should they run now? Each time he thought they should run, something would happen to remove the need to run. Reality itself was telling them to stay. Great Zhou King's timing was simply too perfect, as though he had completely predicted the Dragon Pseudo Emperor's reaction beforehand.
Su Yu suddenly had a feeling that Great Zhou King was actually stronger than even Great Qin King. That was applicable for both brains and brawn.
That short mission had been carried out without any casualties on humanity's side. Meanwhile, it was effective as having a Daofuse. Or perhaps it was even more effective than having a Daofuse. Even now, the Dragon Pseudo Emperor was still roaring in fury.
Su Yu could hear the helplessness and fury in those roars. The Dragon Pseudo Emperor no longer dared to leave. Yes, they still had many Invincibles inside, but so what? They might lose a few more Invincibles if the Dragon Pseudo Emperor dared to leave again, bringing their losses near the level of the immortals.
"Wow. The Great Deceit King sure is impressive..."
As Su Yu muttered in admiration, Wan Tiansheng coughed awkwardly. The kid should watch his mouth. No matter what, Great Zhou King had stopped a Pseudo Emperor for him.
Chapter 1560: Don't Come! I'll Bite! (1)
Great Zhou King's move was incredibly effective.
The various experts started hesitating. Far away, Tiangu's cold voice rang out, "Great Zhou King, are you not afraid that the traitor of your race will destroy your character midway?"
Traitor. Fiery Sea King was already dead, yet Tiangu was insisting that there was another traitor. Did he know something? Or was this simply a ploy to shake their confidence? Or perhaps this was a reminder for the traitor to make a move after staying idle so long? He was reminding the traitor to prevent Great Zhou King from teleporting everywhere.
***
Eastrift Valley.
At that, the various human Invincibles looked at Great Zhou King.
Someone asked, "What did Tiangu mean?"
Great Zhou King said indifferently, "What else? This is a simply ploy to sow dissension. Have you lived so long for nothing? Why are you worrying when I'm not even worrying about my character?"
Nobody had an argument for that.
Once again, Tiangu's voice rang out, "Only one of you needs to step up right now. The rest can keep staying undercover to wait for better opportunities. The human race will never rise again."
He was telling the traitor that just by stepping up, the trust between the various human Invincibles would be destroyed. Nobody would believe that there weren't more. This was the best opportunity for the traitor to do something.
Tiangu continued, "Kill Su Yu. Kill Wan Tiansheng. I believe this is what you need. And this is your perfect chance. There won't be a second chance for you."
Ads by PubRev
"Su Yu is already capable of killing Eternals. If he survives and cultivates a few more years, perhaps he will grow strong enough to kill Daofuses."
"Step up. Now. I will protect you." He added, "You. Take a group and head to the immortal border."
Instantly, more than ten immortal kings moved toward the border. Tiangu was doing this to support the human traitor and remind the other humans that there was a traitor in their midst. He was telling them to be suspicious of their companions. He was telling them to watch their backs.
The humans started stirring. Was there really a traitor in their midst? After Fiery Sea King's death, Great Zhou King and the others had claimed that there was no second traitor. But now, Tiangu had sent a large number of Invincibles over to provide support for the traitor. Was he certain there was a traitor? Or was this a ploy to stop them from teleporting around?
At this point, the appearance of a traitor would greatly ruin the prestige of Great Zhou King and Great Qin King. And if there was a second traitor, who could say that there weren't a third traitor? Great Zhou King and Great Qin King would no longer be able to gain the trust of the other human Invincibles.
This was similar in concept to what Su Yu did to the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. When everyone believed that there weren't more traitors, a second traitor appeared. And from then on, nobody could believe that there wasn't a third traitor as well.
Numerous immortal auras erupted as a large number of immortal kings left the Immortal Realm. They were doing this to sow dissent among the humans and deter the humans from trying anything against the Immortal Realm.
They were also doing this to placate the myriad races. They were telling the myriad races to fight bravely. They would handle the humans.
The atmosphere at the Eastrift Valley turned suffocating. The excitement from their successful attack on the Dragon Realm faded completely. The older Invincibles all looked solemn. Was there a second traitor? In truth, they had all guessed that there was indeed a second traitor.
Yes, Fiery Sea was dead. But certain questions remained unanswered despite his death. Certain things still didn't make any sense with Fiery Sea as the traitor. For example, Fiery Sea had claimed that Ye Batian had humiliated him in a private spar. At that point, there was no longer any need for Fiery Sea to lie.
Yes. Ye Batian was arrogant and domineering. But...it was unlikely that he would do something like humiliating the Fiery Sea King.
Everyone had suppressed their questions, but thanks to Tiangu, these questions were surfacing again. They didn't know what to feel anymore.
The potential traitor was akin to a thorn on their side, making it much harder for them to perform well in this conflict. A good example was the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Due to a lack of trust, the pavilion Invincibles could no longer make use of their strength well. As a result, they appeared far weaker than they actually were.
Great Zhou King remained indifferent. He looked in the Immortal Realm's direction and said, "Immortals. Worry about yourself."
Great Zhou King's voice spread everywhere as he continued, "Don't keep stirring conflict to exhaust the strength of the various races. In the Immortal Transformation Pond, there are dozens of old fossils who are rumored to be dead. Why don't you use your own experts against Su Yu instead of inciting everyone else to fight for you? If you can send them all out, we will naturally stop struggling.
"That was where Jade King and Han Xiang came from as well, right? Just send the rest. Why bother hiding the rest? Just send them all and crush your enemies with absolute force. Why are you wasting the lives of the other races? Yes, you are worried of casualties, so you're playing puppet master here instead. But do you think everyone is stupid? Why don't you step out of your realm?
"Back when I entered the Immortal Realm with Qin Guang and the others, we saw the Immortal Transformation Pond. Numerous coffins were there, and each coffin contained an ancient fossil. At the time, I was curious about your interest in making a coffin for youself. But I eventually understood. That coffin was meant to store you like the rest of the old fossils. That way, you could rise again and help the immortals during a crucial moment in the future. Am I right?
"Tiangu, I am aware that the divines, devils, and other races have their own hidden trump cards as well. But the immortals have probably hidden away the highest number of trump cards. You probably still have fifty or sixty immortal kings to spare, right? And there are probably no less than twenty late-degree Eternals left. Just send them all out. We will surrender and Su Yu will die. Isn't that a good thing?"
Great Zhou King's voice spread throughout the Myriad Realms.
Immortals. Immortal Transformation Pond. Countless old fossils.
Those were the keywords that shook everyone. Follow current novels on novelfire(.)net
Just how many immortal kings did the immortals have?
Even after losing so many, they still had around twenty currently in battle. Additionally, Tiangu had sent some to the human-immortal border. Including the ones that had died recently, about forty of them had appeared so far.
Yet according to Great Zhou King, the immortals were capable of deploying around fifty to sixty more? Over a hundred of them?
Tiangu's argument came immediately, "You only saw what I wanted you to see. Don't you understand that, you fool?"
In short, that was a lie to scare the humans during the invasion.
Great Zhou King had a look of contempt as he said, "Tiangu, don't overestimate yourself. If you're really that capable, why don't you take your coffin lid back? Rather than wasting your time arguing with me, why don't you show your trump cards instead? What is this? Who are you trying to scare with only about a dozen Eternals? Just send like thirty or fifty more of them. I will instantly withdraw with the rest of the humans. Stop making a joke out of yourself."
That was enough to cause some people to lose patience. The Dragon Pseudo Emperor's furious voice rang out, "Tiangu, since the immortals still have strength to spare, why did you urge the rest of us to fight for you instead? Just send a few more late-degree Eternals and that will be enough to kill Su Yu."
Since the immortals had enough experts to protect their home, why were they not attacking with more force?
***
Immortal Realm.
Tiangu had a cold expression. There were naturally more experts in the Immortal Realm.
However, the battle for the Myriad Realms was not only a battle against humanity. After the collapse of humanity, they still had to fight the other races. If they were to use all their trump cards now, what were they supposed to do in the future?
Were the divines and devils not hiding their trump cards? Were the dragons not doing the same? How about the nethers? Everyone was doing the same. Even after such heavy losses, the major races were still hiding their strength. Tiangu knew what they were thinking. He inhaled deeply and looked back at the Immortal Realm.
Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng must die. Outsiders were unreliable while the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was useless. Meanwhile, the minor races were too scared to fight properly. They could join the battle, but they wouldn't dare to fight for real.
After a short silence, Tiangu sent a voice transmission, "Wisdom King, please awaken for a short moment."
***
Immortal Realm.
Inside a large garden...yes. A garden. A garden of countless heavenly source fruit trees. Under each tree was a coffin. Some of the coffins under some of the larger trees were already open. Clearly, the occupants of these coffins had already been deployed. Han Xiang and Jade King were also the former occupants of these coffins.
The coffin floated atop a pond, but the pond was not actually filled with water. Rather, the pond was filled with liquified heavenly source qi. This was the fabled Immortal Transformation Pond.
Under a certain tree, a white jade coffin trembled slightly.
A pair of eyes opened.
Suns and moons spun in those eyes as the owner of these eyes listened to Tiangu.
Wisdom King.
This was an ancient expert with silvery white hair. However, he still had the appearance of a youngster, with smooth, tender skin. He blanked out slightly before pushing the lid open and vanishing with a flicker. Shortly after, he arrived at the realm entrance.
There, he bowed slightly at Tiangu, "Greetings, Emperor."
Tiangu exhaled slightly and said nothing. He reached out and placed his hand above Wisdom King's head. Wisdom King did not resist. After a short moment, a look of clarity appeared on Wisdom King's face. He said, "I'll kill Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng."
Tiangu nodded. He said, "Be careful. He has the ability to open death tunnels, but he has been avoiding doing that. I have been waiting for that to happen and have the others serve as the targets of the death spirits, but things have not progressed smoothly. There might be more than one death sovereign waiting down there."
He knew.
Yes. Tiangu knew.
As an old fossil himself, he was well aware of this possibility.
After all, it had happened before.
He Tu. Yes. He Tu had done the same. Those born after the first epoch did not have much impression of He Tu, but Tiangu still remembered it clearly. Thus, he was certain Su Yu was not out of trump cards.
Death Realm.
In fact, Tiangu suspected that Su Yu had also returned through the Death Realm. If that was the case, Su Yu would definitely not be out of trump cards.
Death Realm.
He could still open a death tunnel and lure the death spirits out. Or he could flee into the Death Realm.
Understanding dawned on Wisdom King as he asked, "So a repeat of He Tu?"
"Exactly."
Evidently, Wisdom King was not unfamiliar with He Tu.
He laughed and said, "He Tu rose because of death spirits, but he also fell because of death spirits. The Death Realm isn't so easy to control. The death sovereigns are also uncontrollable.
"I'll be more than happy to see Su Yu do that. Someone loved by luck like him can't be killed so easily. But we can shift death sovereigns and cause a spread of death qi. Grand Dream will be forced to kill yet another mayor of his to avoid the punishment of the laws."
"But if Su Yu flees into the Death Realm instead of luring death spirits out..." He looked at Tiangu and asked, "Do I give chase?"
Tiangu asked, "What do you think? The Death Realm is very dangerous. Even people like us can encounter danger there. But if you make it fast and kill Su Yu promptly, you can leave immediately. The guardians won't be able to stop you from leaving the tunnel. The laws do not forbid the living from leaving."
Wisdom King said, "I'll try not to give him the chance to even open a death tunnel."
Tiangu said nothing. He performed a short divination before saying, "I'm afraid you will encounter some danger."
He took out a token and handed it over, "If you encounter danger, take this token out. It might save you once."
"Thank you, Emperor."
With a smile, the Wisdom King stepped out of the Immortal Realm. The moment he was outside, he vanished. Instead of traveling with the River of Time, he moved noiselessly.
Chapter 1561: Don't Come! I'll Bite! (2)
Meanwhile, Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng were already so tired they were panting.
They were facing three super experts from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Naturally, the three pavilion experts were also feeling very helpless. They were too sacred to approach Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng for real anymore. Further away, the fourteen Invincibles merely fought half-heartedly without really trying.
Even further away, the Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor was in a standoff with the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor while busy snacking. The two did not fight. They were only standing there to keep each other in check.
Suddenly, the iron devourer looked in a certain direction. His stuffy voice rang out, "Su Yu, trouble is coming for you. Tiangu is starting to use his trump card."
Moments after, an immortal appeared in the distance.
The immortal bowed slightly at the iron devourer and greeted respectfully, "Greetings, Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor."
The iron devourer said, "Wisdom King, ninth-degree Eternal, an immortal expert of the first epoch. During the first epoch, He Tu had suffered two major setbacks. The first setback caused him to turn into an ancient city mayor. The second setback killed him. Wisdom King was the reason for his first setback."
In short, this was He Tu's enemy.
At the time, He Tu had already affirmed his dao. Even so, he was forced to become an ancient city resident. For the first time, Su Yu learned that it was due to this so-called Wisdom King. A ninth-degree Eternal! This was not someone they could contend against. That was especially true since this was a ninth-degree Eternal from the first epoch.
The Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor said, "I thought he was dead since he never achieved Daofuse. Surprisingly, he's still alive. Sure enough, the immortals are long-lived. Even with heavy injuries, they can somehow keep living."
He sighed as he introduced the newcomer. He was here to deter the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor. But the reverse was also being done to him.
It wasn't too hard for a Daofuse to handle a ninth-degree Eternal, but it was by no means easy either. Three to five ninth-degree Eternals would usually be enough to put up a good fight against a Daofuse. For example, Great Qin King and the others had once done so.

Thus, the Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor had no way of dealing with Wisdom King. The various experts were relieved to see that. Finally, the immortals were using their trump card.
This time, the immortals were indeed the ones leading the operation. A large number of immortal experts had participated, including ancient fossils like Jade King and Han Xiang. And now, even someone from the first epoch had appeared. Clearly, the immortals were much more determined than the other races to kill Su Yu.
Alarmed, Su Yu was just about to open the death tunnel when Wisdom King spoke, "Su Yu, are you thinking of opening the death tunnel? Is that your final trump card?"
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat.
He knew!
Wisdom King enjoyed the change of Su Yu's expression. He said, "Back then, He Tu did the same. I encountered it many times. However, think carefully before doing so. You can lose control too easily. And the moment that happens, things won't end well for you. As for entering the tunnel yourself...the death spirits don't care who we are. They will attack all living beings. Be careful lest you get yourself killed."
Wisdom King smiled and said, "Why don't you forget about the death tunnel and have some fun with me?"
Su Yu's expression turned solemn. He had thought that nobody knew about this possibility. But that was not the case. The immortals knew. In that case, the older experts of the other races might be aware as well. No wonder. No wonder there were so few major race experts around him.
Most of them were from the minor races and the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Were the pavilion experts being manipulated like tools as well? They knew he could open a death tunnel, but were they aware that he had dozens of death sovereigns waiting down there?
Su Yu gnashed his teeth and said, "Have some fun? Since you know what I'm doing, why don't you have some fun down there with me?"
A death tunnel was totally worth opening if it could get an expert of this level killed.
A ninth-degree Eternal!
A super expert of the first epoch.
The death of someone like that would probably be painful for even the immortals. He was probably second only to a Daofuse in terms of combat strength. And as far as Su Yu knew, Tiangu was the sole Daofuse in the immortal race.
Wisdom King approached Su Yu one step at a time. He looked at Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng before looking at the surrounding Invincibles. He indifferently asked, "Are you fighting or are you pulling back to watch the fight?"
Numerous expressions changed upon hearing that question. They wanted to leave, but would he allow them to leave? Clearly, the answer was no. They could flee, but they would need to be constantly wary of the immortals moving forward.
With the arrival of a ninth-degree Eternal, the courage of the minor race Invincibles was boosted slightly. Thus, they stopped hesitating and attacked together. Since a backer had arrived, it was time to fight properly.
Su Yu did not hesitate and opened the death tunnel. A large amount of death qi entered his body, but he kept it inside his body without allowing any to leak out of his body.
He was taking in so much death qi that it felt as though he had transformed into a death spirit himself. He floated there as a black hole appeared below him. Beyond the whirlpool was an ancient castle. Xing Yue's ancient castle, to be precise.
Su Yu could feel it. He could feel that this was Xing Yue's lair. A terrifyingly large number of death spirits were waiting down there.
***
At the same time.
A black hole appeared above the ancient castle.
Dozens of death sovereigns were holding a meeting in the castle.
He Tu, Dummy, and Xing Yue were all present.
Xing Yue was too busy to care about the tunnel. She was in the middle of speaking. "Everyone, I—"
Just then, the death sovereigns looked up. One of them muttered in confusion, "What is...that? I can feel...some living beings."
The same death sovereign looked at He Tu and asked in surprise, "He Tu...didn't you do the same in the past? Isn't this a manually opened tunnel?"
He Tu knew that this was the work of Su Yu.
He smiled and said, "We'll wait and see. There is no rush. Looks like someone is trying to make us fight for them. Do not be rash. Back then, many death sovereigns died because of me. Learn from that lesson. There is no need to make yourself a tool of others so easily."
After a slight hesitation, Xing Yue said, "Is this Su Yu's work? That is my subordinate. I ordered him to throw some living beings down to serve as the meal for our feast. Is he...ready with the meal?"
"Living beings for our feast?" A death sovereign laughed and said, "You are quite generous, Xing Yue. But weak living beings don't mean much for us."
"These living beings should be at the level of sovereigns." Xing Yue looked up, piercing through the roof with her gaze, and focused on the black hole before saying, "Let's wait. When Su Yu comes down, I'll ask him about it. If the offering isn't to our liking, I'll slaughter him and make him the main course instead. But if the offering is good enough, I will let him go back up and toss some new offerings down every now and then. "
"Su Yu?" A death sovereign snorted coldly and said, "If you ask me, we should just kill him. He has helped the other guardians a lot. Originally, Rainbow Rain was about to fall. But that bastard ruined everything!"
He Tu chuckled and said, "What's the rush? Having Su Yu around is good for us. He can play the same role that I played all those years ago. He is probably the only person capable of opening death tunnels in this era. Such tunnels are not under the control of the guardians. Killing him will make this era a lot more boring."
A different death sovereign said, "He Tu is right. If Su Yu is really willing to open death tunnels everywhere, keeping him around is good for us."
Suddenly, He Tu stood up and said, "Why don't we take a look? Let's see if Su Yu is encountering any trouble. Just treat it as an amusing show."
The other death sovereigns laughed and said, "Sure. Let's do it."
Then, the group of death sovereigns flew outside the castle. There, they could hear some sounds from the tunnel.
***
The death tunnel was opened.
The charging Invincibles stopped instantly and started hesitating.
Death tunnel!
Were there death sovereigns down there?
Su Yu coldly asked, "Don't force me! There are three death sovereigns down there, including a seventh-degree Eternal! Are you forcing me to release them and slaughter you all? Must you serve as the tools of others?"
Three.
Including a seventh-degree Eternal!
Hearing that, the Invincibles hesitated even more.
Wisdom King laughed and said, "Are you sure about that, Su Yu?"
Su Yu gnashed his teeth furiously and roared, "Lord Xing Yue, please assist me!"
Next, the tunnel shook. Then, Xing Yue flew out. She was not alone. Dummy followed behind her. Shortly after, He Tu stepped out as well.
Su Yu roared with laughter, "Come on! Kill me! The three lords have long reached an agreement with me! They will be assisting me with my enemies! Wisdom King? Who do you think you are? So what if you're a ninth-degree Eternal? Come kill me! I dare you!"
The arrival of the three death sovereigns halted the steps of the approaching Invincibles completely. Su Yu wasn't lying! The three death sovereigns were incredibly strong. Even the weakest of the three, Xing Yue, was a middle-degree Eternal. The other two were late-degree Eternals.
Wisdom King frowned slightly as he focused on the death sovereigns. After a moment, he asked, "He Tu?"
He Tu looked at Wisdom King as well. After a long while, he said, "Oh, it's you? How are you still alive? No wonder I couldn't find you down there all these years. I remember crushing your sea of willpower back then. How did you survive that? You sure are lucky."
He showed no emotion. This was his former enemy, and he had completed his revenge before his death. Surprisingly, this person was still alive.
Su Yu seemed to have grown a lot more confident with the arrival of the three death sovereigns.
Wan Tiansheng hesitated slightly and sent a voice transmission, "Will this backfire? Will they really help us?"
"It will work. Don't worry."
Su Yu sent a voice transmission to Xing Yue, "Lord, how many sovereigns are down there?"
"Over thirty."
That was a good number. When laying out a trap, he couldn't be too obvious. If he did not summon even one death sovereign out, it would be too obvious that there was an ambush waiting down there. Thus, he had to show them that he had the support of death sovereigns.
Three of them.
Each was incredibly powerful.
And these three would most certainly not be a match for the gathered Invincibles, giving him the perfect excuse to flee into the tunnel.
He sent another voice transmission to Xing Yue.
Xing Yue frowned in annoyance, but she held herself back and coldly said, "Audacious! How dare you bully my subordinate? You deserve to die! I rule an army of ten million death spirits and numerous powerful death spirit generals. Leave or die!"
Wisdom King laughed. Death spirit generals? He was familiar with that term. These so-called generals were basically Pseudo Invincibles. She was actually threatening a ninth-degree Eternal like him with some weaklings.
Sure enough, death spirits lacked wisdom. One shouldn't expect too much from them. Did she not notice the number of gathered Invincibles in the area?
"He Tu, you are very different than how you were back then." With a smile, Wisdom King threw a casual attack toward He Tu and said, "If I were you, I would leave now. That way, you could continue existing as a death spirit. Otherwise, even this form of you would cease to exist."
He Tu raged, "Who do you think you are? Kill him!"
At that, Dummy charged forth alongside He Tu. Waves of death qi billowed out in their path. They were heading straight for Wisdom King. However, Wisdom King merely took a step back. As they approached him, he kept retreating. Official source ıs novel⦿fire.net
When Su Yu saw that, he cursed. The immortals sure were shameless. This was clearly an attempt to lure He Tu and Dummy around, spreading death qi everywhere. When the spread of death qi exceeded a certain threshold, disaster would come.
"Lord He Tu, stop giving chase. Since he wishes to leave, let's kill the others instead."
