Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 967: Eternal Grudge (2)

An eye appeared in the mirror. Traveling across time and space, it descended upon the city. The moment the eye appeared, the pressure it emanated caused a momentary silence in the city.

Immediately after, a beam of death qi shot up from the mayor's residence.

"Hmph!"

A snort rang out, and the mirror shattered into pieces.

Ming He was terrified.

She looked at the mayor's residence. There, a death spirit had appeared.

Tian He's voice rang out in the city, "Stop messing around. If you manifest the power of an Invincible in the city, an existence of corresponding strength will be produced by the city as well. Are you...trying to die?"

Ming He hurriedly said, "Tian He, send us out! You can do it! We will repay you handsomely for your help! The divines, devils, immortals, dragons, and the other races will reward you! We can even settle for the second best option, taking shelter inside the mayor's residence."

All the experts, including Ming He, started gathering around Long Dou. Her attempt to seek help from Dao King had failed. That eye belonged to Dao King. But he was far away in the Immortal Realm. He would need time to reach the city. Time they didn't have.

Even if Dao King was here, was there any guarantee that he would be able to unseal the city? Even if he succeeded, an Invincible death spirit would appear. What then? All of them would still die. Thus, Tian He was their best option.

Tian He replied with the same indifferent tone, "I'm the mayor of an ancient city. I am incapable of interfering with the affairs of the death spirits. As for the mayor's residence...it won't be able to give you the protection you seek. My apologies. You should start looking for a place to hide and wait this out."

Su Yu was truly too crazy.

Together with Liu Wenyan, they crushed Ye Batian's characters to kill multiple Sunmoons. They were lucky Ye Batian was dead or he would probably start scolding his juniors for being unfilial.

After all, those were the same characters he had attempted his dao affirmation with. But the same characters had been crushed by his student and grandstudent. Just to kill some Sunmoons.

These were the same Sunmoons Ye Batian could kill without much effort if he was still around. Meanwhile, Liu Wenyan and Su Yu had destroyed seven of his characters just to kill a few of these Sunmoons.

At this point, Liu Wenyan only had seven of Ye Batian's characters left. Such a big sacrifice just to kill these people. Tian He didn't even know if it was worth it. Teacher and student, the two did it before swaggering off, leaving these people to deal with the disaster of their making.

Sunmoons kept dying. Initially, nineteen Sunmoons had entered the city. Four of them were high-stage Sunmoons. Su Yu killed two. Liu Wenyan killed one. And the death spirits killed six. Nine of them had perished.

Moon after moon fell from the sky. It had been many years since the Allheaven Battlefield witnessed Sunmoons dying on such a scale within a single day. In fact, excluding the death of death spirits, the last time this happened was decades ago.

Of course, if the death spirits were counted as well, the most recent incident before this could be moved forward to the time when Xia Longwu invaded the city. Back then, he had killed a lot of Sunmoon death spirits.

There was also Bing Hong, who had been killed outside the city. Meanwhile, Mo He was still being surrounded and attacked by multiple Sunmoons.

This was the biggest loss the various races had suffered in the past five decades. After all, a large number of young geniuses had perished as well. Among them were An Mintian of the divines and Lan Ying of the devils. Tianduo of the original devils seemed to have survived. At the moment, he was busy running away from death spirits inside the city. It was unknown if he could survive until the end.

With so many geniuses dying, numerous names on the Heavenly Hunt Index dimmed.

One after another.

In the span of several days, more than thirty names had dimmed.

***

At the same time.

Shock spread all over the Myriad Realms.

The Heavenly Hunt Index was changing.

And the changes were massive.

1st on Heaven Index: Su Yu.

Past accomplishments: Killing a fourth-stage Sunmoon.

1st on Earth Index, Liu Wenyan. Human, 72 years old, first-stage Cloudbreach. Citizen of Great Xia.

Past accomplishments: Killing a fifth-stage Sunmoon and killing a dying seventh-stage Sunmoon.

Yes. He killed a fifth-stage Sunmoon death spirit. His actual cultivation level was the first-stage Cloudbreach Realm. He had forced a breakthrough by crushing a Sunmoon character right before launching his attack on the fifth-stage Sunmoon death spirit.

Due to the massive gap between him and the death spirit, he managed to climb the index despite his advanced age.

First on the Earth Index! If it wasn't for his age, he would have taken the top spot of the Heaven Index instead. This was possible because decades ago, his aura had been inserted into the Heavenly Hunt Index. Thus, he was a known entity to the index.

This was the first time a human of this age had ever entered the index. It shocked everyone. A Cloudbreach killing a Sunmoon? And the Sunmoon wasn't a freshly advanced first-stage Sunmoon?

Of course, everyone knew that the kill was definitely not as straightforward as it seemed. Perhaps trickeries were involved, but this was still an unprecedented feat. A Cloudbreach could actually kill a Sunmoon.

***

Countless people across various realms started contacting the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion through all sorts of communication channels. Before long, an answer was released.

Su Yu and Liu Wenyan had hidden themselves in an ancient city before crushing Ye Batian's characters to kill Sunmoons and trap a bunch of Sunmoons in the city.

Numerous moons were falling from the sky.

At the time of writing, ten Sunmoons had perished.

They included Bing Hong of the snowfrost divine race who had perished outside the city. The killers were a group of unknown individuals. Investigation into their identities was still ongoing.

Not even the people of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion dared to approach the area where multiple high-stage Sunmoons were fighting. It was much easier for them to determine what Su Yu and Liu Wenyan did. After all, that axe was too conspicuous.

Su Yu had killed with an axe. The same applied to Liu Wenyan. It was very easy to reach a conclusion based on that. The two had destroyed Ye Batian's characters. They wouldn't have been able to muster so much power otherwise. This was madness.

Ye Batian's characters were widely coveted regardless of race. But the two damn wastrels had actually destroyed them. Nobody could avoid cursing them for being so wasteful after reading the Heavenly Hunt Pavillion's message.

They only needed perhaps two or three of Ye Batian's characters to hire an Invincible or a ninth-stage Sunmoon to kill for them. In fact, they could probably buy the service of a ninth-stage Sunmoon with only one of Ye Batian's characters.

They could do that instead.

But what did the two damn wastrels do?

Lunatics.

Were they happy now? After their shenanigans, they must have seriously injured themselves as well. Or perhaps they were already dead...no, that wasn't the case. Their names were still on the index.

In short, very few people lamented the deaths of the Sunmoons. Rather, most people were lamenting the waste of Ye Batian's characters.

Ye Batian's characters were quite possibly the strongest characters humanity had produced in recent history.

Even Great Qin King, who was diligently guarding the border, was cursing.

"Madman."

"Fool!"

"If you want someone dead, just hand the characters out. You can definitely find someone willing to fight for you. Why must you destroy those characters?"

But at the same time, he was also sighing helplessly. The multiple character faction was still as brutal as ever. Behind their brutal action, one could clearly see their distrust toward their fellow humans.

Since they were alone, so be it. They would kill their enemies themselves. As for the value of Ye Batian's characters, whatever. They would kill first and think later.

At the same time, Great Qin King sent numerous voice transmissions out, "Those in seclusion, come out. Time to work."

"Xia Wushen, return."

"Zhu Dizhu, return."

"Guards, notify Wang Hu and Liu Han to enter the Allheaven Battlefield immediately."

"..."

He had no choice but to do this. With so many experts dead and trapped in an ancient city, they had to increase their defenses to deter the potential attacks that might be launched toward the human race. Furthermore, the whereabouts of Su Yu and Liu Wenyan were still unknown.

The auras of one Invincible after another appeared. In the eastern sector, some of the human Invincibles were roused from their deep meditation. The call puzzled them. Had a war broken out?

The Invincibles started gathering from all directions. The various armies also started moving toward their respective posts in preparation for a war.

***

While humanity was preparing for war.

Su Yu was outside the city.

The battle outside was still ongoing.

In the air, a powerful expert was battling multiple experts alone. With one punch, a Sunmoon was sent flying. With another punch, a Sunmoon was blasted apart.

He was incomparably valiant.

Mo He of the original devil race.

An existence near the eighth-stage Sunmoon Realm. Even though he was facing multiple Sunmoons alone, he was making them pay dearly for their action. One of them had lost his body. If it wasn't for Umbra's last-minute protection, he would have perished then and there.

Suddenly, a sword stabbed through Mo He's head before exploding with a burst of source qi, leaving a hole in his head.

"The original devils are unrivaled!"

Mo He roared madly. He was someone who would affirm his dao one day! How could he die here? He couldn't! Alas, he was facing too many enemies.

There were too many Sunmoons. Umbra and Ye Hongyan were top experts. Both of them were pillars of Great Ming. The other Sunmoons were also fighting him in a combat formation. This fight was so challenging a peak seventh-stage Sunmoon from the original devil race like him was actually very close to dying.

"A devil king will come! Mo Duona is still inside the city!"

He roared desperately.

A devil king of the original devils would come. Their number one genius was still alive in the city. Just like how the humans would not give up on Qin Fang. But Ye Hongyan and Umbra ignored him.

They only cared about killing him, nothing else.

When Ye Hongyan sensed Su Yu's appearance, she yelled, "Leave immediately! Invincibles will start appearing soon! Hurry up, return to the Human Realm!"

How crazy.

She finally understood why Su Yu was so confident he could get all those Sunmoons killed. The city would be sealed. Death qi would flood the city. That was why. She had seen at least nine moons falling from the sky since the start of this whole incident.

That thought had just crossed her mind when with a rumble, yet another moon fell from the sky.

Ten dead Sunmoons.

Ten Sunmoons had perished inside the city. One high-stage Sunmoon had perished outside the city.

This was crazy.

Excluding the incident involving Ye Batian, an incident like this had not happened for centuries. This was especially true if they considered the fact that even high-stage Sunmoons were dying.

While watching the ongoing fight from afar, Su Yu asked, "Can you kill him? Can I get the last hit? Maybe I can get a good heavenly reward if I get the last hit..."

Ye Hongyan roared, "Leave! Do you want to taste his desperate final attack?"

This was crazy.

Liu Wenyan had stolen the previous kill. And now, this kid was thinking of doing the same thing. Did the kid think that a peak seventh-stage Sunmoon of the original devil race was a pushover? Someone like that could launch a terrifying desperate final attack.
