Tribulation of Myriad Races

"Damn you!"

Once again, Su Yu cursed, looking as though he was very surprised that someone was attacking him. He suddenly jumped into the valley and roared, "Just you wait!"

Whoosh!

Red Armor was stunned. Entering the Skyrend Valley? Was this because the mysterious individual wasn't his match? Or was the mysterious individual simply trying to avoid exposing himself??

It didn't matter. Since a fight had started, there was no point in hesitating. Red Armor charged forward as the color of his armor grew deeper. The energy around his spear increased in intensity as he stabbed his spear at Su Yu who was falling into the valley. The surrounding experts watched on.

Right at that moment, Su Yu roared, "Witness my Soul Eradicating Hammer!"

Rumble!

A massive hammer appeared.

"It's really you!"

Red Armor's aura rose. So it was really that fellow. He was already very familiar with that hammer. He had personally tasted the might of that hammer. All his hesitation vanished as he pushed his source qi to its limit and met the hammer with his spear. At that exact moment, an inconspicuous little furball detached himself from the hammer and vanished.

After blocking the hammer strike, Red Armor snorted inwardly. It wasn't like he had never fought this Cui Lang before. He was already quite familiar with that hammer. As long as his source qi was strong enough, the hammer wouldn't be able to harm him easily.

While resisting the hammer with his source qi, he stabbed his spear at Su Yu. Far away, An Mintian and Tianduo focused on the fight. Since this was really a human, then he could forget about leaving alive.

As long as Red Armor could buy some time and prevent the human from entering the valley, they would ensure that he couldn't leave with his life. Right as the two started moving, Red Armor's sea of willpower trembled. He was surprised. What was going on?

That thought had barely crossed his mind when an intense pain spread out of his sea of willpower. Inside the sea of willpower, the little furball had failed to find any character. This fellow was not a cultural researcher.

The disappointed furball thus landed a bite on the edge of the sea of willpower. Red Armor's willpower was not too strong while the little furball was actually a Cloudbreach of an ancient race. Thus, half the sea of willpower was destroyed with one bite.

Red Armor's mind went blank due to the damage to his sea of willpower. At the same time, the hammer erupted in strength.

Rumble!

With one hammer strike, the entire sea of willpower was smashed into nothingness. The little furball took the opportunity to attach himself to the hammer again. As for Su Yu, he turned around, grabbed the spear with one hand, and stabbed his other hand through Red Armor's chest.

A black lump of metal shaped like a heart could be seen on the hand protruding out of Red Armor's back. With a loud bang, the heart was crushed.

He had experienced fighting Green Armor of the mystic armor race before. From his experience, he learned that even with the collapse of their sea of willpower, they might still survive. But with the destruction of both the heart and the sea of willpower, death was guaranteed.

A clump of cloud dropped from the sky and entered Su Yu's sea of willpower. A character appeared. But right after it appeared, it was smashed into pieces by the golden book.

Su Yu cursed inwardly.

Holy shit!

That character was destroyed! Evidently, that was not a human character. And with the destruction of that character, a powerful burst of character intent spread all over his sea of willpower. What a waste. That was a natural character!

Su Yu cursed at the book with rage. He wasn't even able to get a good look at the character before it was destroyed. He did not have the time to think too much. After grabbing Red Armor's corpse and stowing it in his storage ring, he descended into the Skyrend Valley below. Before anyone knew it, he had vanished into the thick mist.

Less than a second after his disappearance, both Tianduo and An Mintian arrived. With a hum, a powerful sword strike was unleashed by An Mintian. The sword qi collided against the saber qi in the valley.

The collision forced An Mintian to take several steps backward with a cold look in his eyes. Beside him, Tianduo had a look of surprise as the flame symbol on his forehead turned even redder than before.

One divine and one devil, both were inhumanly good-looking. Then again, it was true that they were not humans. At the moment, the pair of handsome faces looked rather gloomy. Meanwhile, the crowd around them suddenly stopped talking. Silence descended.

Holy shit!

Dead?

Just like that?

Wasn't that a genius of the mystic armor race?

That was an expert in the Profound Index. He was killed just like that? With the appearance of the heavenly reward, there was no doubting the fact that he was dead. Even the distant mystic armors were stunned.

Dead?

Killed by Cui Lang?

The only thing they saw was Red Armor's abrupt attack. And then...nothing. Red Armor seemed to have turned dumb after a single hammer strike. He remained still and allowed Cui Lang to crush his heart. That was how he met his end.

He was instantly killed. Up in the sky, the golden dragon widened his eyes in shock. Holy shit!

Dead?

Red Armor was dead just like that?

He first swallowed in shock. Next, he dove down from the sky and started slaughtering the surviving mystic armors with a roar.

An Mintian was just about to make a move when the golden dragon roared, "Is the divine race going to challenge the dragon race for pieces of trash like them? An Mintian, I'll spare you once. If you interfere again, I swear to switch my target to you from now on."

Red Armor wass already dead.

An Mintian was already in a bad mood. When he heard those words, his eyes turned even colder as he said, "You? Making me your target? In that case, I'll kill you first."

Since when were the divines afraid of anyone?

But before he could make a move, a massive white dragon appeared in the sky. He looked at An Mintian with a detached expression and said, "An Mintian, don't get too full of yourself. I dare you. Try making a move."

"Long Zhan of the celestial dragon race!"

Someone exclaimed in shock. A super genius of the celestial dragon race had arrived.

Long Zhan was only a first-stage Mountainsea. His cultivation was slightly higher than the golden dragon and lower than An Mintian by a stage. Even so, he was still incredibly domineering, facing An Mintian without any fear. The celestial dragon race was akin to the first divine race in terms of talent.

Meanwhile, An Mintian was merely someone from the snowfrost divine race. He might not necessarily be Long Zhan's match even with a higher cultivation level.

An Mintian's expression changed as his surroundings became covered with ice and snow. He stared at Long Zhan for a long while before coldly saying, "Long Zhan. Good. I won't forget this."

"Of course I'm good. I'm better than you."

Long Zhan transformed into a youth in white. Like An Mintian, his hair was white as well. Meanwhile, the little golden dragon was busy killing the people from the mystic armor race. In the blink of an eye, about five of them were killed. The rest of them started fleeing.

But the vengeful golden dragon was unwilling to spare them. He started giving chase while the mystic armors fled without even bothering to shout for help. They didn't even dare to hope that all of them could survive. They only wanted some of them to survive. Some were so desperate that they jumped into the valley only to be cut apart by the violent saber qi.

Everyone else ignored them. It was only death. People died all the time in the Allheaven Battlefield. They cared more about the fact that Cui Lang was able to instantly kill Red Armor. Some of them took their Heavenly Hunt Index out and saw the changes.

"18th on Profound Index, Cui Lang, genius of Great Ming, human..."

His past accomplishments remained. It was still the slaughter of a seventh-stage Cloudbreach. But he had instantly entered the Profound Index from the Yellow Index. And he had even climbed to the 18th rank.

There were 360 people in the Yellow Index, 180 people in the Profound Index, 72 people in the Earth Index, and 18 people in the Heaven Index. All in all, there were 530 people in the Heavenly Hunt Index.

Cui Lang's rank had skyrocketed.

Silence descended.

They were now certain that Cui Lang was the one who had killed Red Armor.

"What was...that hammer?"

"Soul Eradicating Hammer?"

"When did the human race create such a powerful technique?"

"..."

All of them were shocked. That single hammer strike had completely stunned Red Armor. It was likely that his sea of willpower had been destroyed. Sure, he was a warrior, but his sea of willpower shouldn't be too fragile.

Furthermore, his source qi was very powerful. And source qi was supposed to be able to resist willpower attacks. But he had failed. That one hammer strike had sealed his fate.

"That's the Soul Expanding Hammer. It was created by the son of the fourth principal of Great Xia Cultural Research Academy..."

Those who knew more about the human race started providing an explanation.

All of them were still in a state of shock. A first-stage Cloudbreach. Someone like that had killed a genius like Red Armor with a single strike. The mystic armor race was a top-100 race.

How could a genius from that race die so easily? They found that hard to believe. How could a genius die like that?

"Is it possible that Red Armor is simply weak?"

"Nonsense!"

Someone cursed. Weak? That was someone with his name in the Heavenly Hunt Index. Nobody in the index was weak.

Every single name in the index belonged to someone who had entered the Allheaven Battlefield to kill and grow. Someone without the courage to kill wouldn't even have their aura collected by the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. No matter how much of a genius one was, one would not be able to get into the index without killing.

Only by killing would one be able to catch the eye of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. That was how Su Yu had gotten into the index as well. He had only attracted the gaze of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion after killing the shadow he encountered.

That was when they gathered his aura and inserted it into the Heavenly Hunt Index. As someone who had a respectable rank in the Profound Index and someone who had killed a ninth-stage Cloudbreach before, was it possible that Red Armor was weak?

That was why so many people were having a hard time believing that he had been killed with one hit. As for Tianduo and An Mintian, they sank into silence.

They completely ignored Long Zhan, the golden dragon, and the mystic armors. Both were deep in thought. A human genius. Right before their eyes, the human genius had killed someone above his level with a single hit.

Not far away, the golden dragon had finished killing all the mystic armors apart from the two who had jumped into the Skyrend Valley. Instead of taking a human form, he remained in his draconic form.

With an odd look in his eyes, he glanced at An Mintian. His eyes turned murderous. Yes. He was extremely petty and vengeful. That bastard had nearly cut his tail off. Even now, he had yet to fully recover from that wound. He would not forget that.

But since he was still not An Mintian's match, he decided to stay silent for now. He was only curious about one thing. How did that human do something so outrageous? Was Red Armor strong?

Definitely. If he wasn't strong, how would he have the courage to provoke a golden dragon? But the powerful Red Armor and Green Armor had both perished. Both were geniuses in the Heavenly Hunt Index.

There were only 530 geniuses in the Heavenly Hunt Index. Two had died in Cui Lang's hands. Those two were the only mystic armor geniuses in the Heavenly Hunt Index. But that accomplishment alone was enough to prove that the mystic armor race was a powerful race.

One ought to remember that there were countless races in existence while there were only 530 spots in the Heavenly Hunt Index. It was an incredible achievement for a single race to take two of those spots.

But now, they had been fully removed from the index. The mystic armor race would probably go mad after learning about this. Would more experts of their race head this way? They seemed to have several experts stationed in the Heavendoom City.

The silence persisted. They were still in a state of disbelief. It wasn't that no geniuses had been killed before. The issue was that they had seen with their own eyes how easily Red Armor had been killed. That was too surprising.

"That heavenly reward earlier...it seems to be a character?"

"I think so."

"Good heavens. That's a natural character."

"Is Red Armor actually worth that much?"

"That's because of Cui Lang's low cultivation. He only got that reward by killing Red Armor as a first-stage Cloudbreach."

"When did Great Ming of Human Realm produce such an expert?"

"Isn't Great Ming supposed to be very weak?"

"..."

If Cui Lang was from Great Xia, Great Qin, or even Great Zhou, or Great Shang...fine, fine. It would be more believable as long as he wasn't from Great Ming. The hardest part for them to believe was the fact that he was from Great Ming. More importantly, Cui Lang wasn't even a character master. He was a weaponsmith.

"I heard Cui Lang is on the cusp of becoming an earth weaponsmith?"

"Earth weaponsmith? At his age? If that's the case, his rank in the Heavenly Hunt Index should have been much higher."

"He has probably never forged an earth weapon before. His rank will only be updated once he forges an earth weapon in the Allheaven Battlefield. He has only been in the index for a few days."

"True."

Numerous people were talking about Cui Lang.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was rapidly moving even after jumping into the Skyrend Valley. He was worried that some people would give chase.

As for Red Armor's death, well, that was no big deal. He was here to kill. So what was so surprising about that?

"Little Furball, well done. But if you dare to keep absorbing, I'll beat you up!"

Damn it. He was too busy to absorb the heavenly reward. That damn furball had taken the opportunity to absorb the character intent left behind after the character was destroyed.

Apart from character intent, a thick clump of willpower had also been left behind. This was still not comparable to the Sunmoon characters he had crushed before, but three or five of these would be enough to reach the same level.

This signified that he could get a free Sunmoon character by killing only three or five people. And this was much easier than killing actual Sunmoons. No wonder everyone loved to kill in the Allheaven Battlefield. How could one not like it?

Su Yu started absorbing the character intent and willpower while running. If he waited any longer, the furball would absorb everything.

He had been putting a lot of emphasis on growing the change character as of late. It would be even better if he could push it to the fourth tier. That would grant him a much better concealment ability. He had recently concluded that he was terrible at disguise and concealment. Everyone could see through his disguise.

Even someone as weak as Red Armor was able to see through his disguise with his black robes. He had completely forgotten about the fact that he actually regarded Red Armor as a strong opponent during their first encounter.

Or to be precise, he had since changed his mind. How could someone he could kill be considered strong?

"Hehe...the reward is decent."

Su Yu was still in a decent mood. He even managed to leave with Red Armor's corpse. He had a feeling that this corpse would be excellent material for weaponsmithing.

"Mystic armor race...I reckon I can make a peak heaven armor if I can kill their Invincible. The weaponsmiths of the myriad races sure are useless. Even Heavenly Forge King is useless. He should have targeted the mystic armor Invincible. With that corpse, he might even be able to produce a divine weapon."

Su Yu concluded that the mystic armor race should be the target of all weaponsmiths. And since they had offended him, he would definitely set his eyes on them if he needed more materials in the future. If he could kill some Mountainseas as well, he might even be able to forge some earth weapons easily.

Sure enough, he was not lying when he told everyone that he was there to gather weaponsmithing materials. The mystic armor race was the best material one could ask for. See, Su Yu would never lie. Even if someone was lying here, it would be Cui Lang, not Su Yu.
