Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 977: Growth (3)

After cleansing the stench of blood on him, Su Yu used fire to burn any other traces of his presence. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. One could never be too cautious.

There were far too many experts in the Allheaven Battlefield. All sorts of races and abilities existed out here. For example, Ming He was capable of muddling his mind just by speaking to him. Thus, he had to remain cautious constantly.

"My strength has grown once again. Every race out there is probably trying to kill me. Where should I go next?"

Su Yu sank into thought. He was tempted to enter the demonic beast territory. The Sea of Stars was there. But he knew too little about that place. It was too dangerous to go before gathering more information. Yes. He was in need of information yet again.

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was an excellent source of information. Unfortunately, that organization was too dangerous. Su Yu did not dare to get too involved with them. It was better to look for a different information peddler instead.

"Are there no other information peddlers in the Allheaven Battlefield? Does the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion enjoy a monopoly unchallenged?"

Su Yu was certain that there were other information peddlers of comparable size in existence. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too easy for the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion to fool everyone with fake information?

He was very curious about the recent happenings in Heavendoom City. What happened there? Did any Invincible show up? If the answer was yes, who? The night had yet to end.

Su Yu did not leave the building. It was too eye-catching to go outdoors during the night. This time, he had to maintain a low profile.

"Twenty-seven body forgings. This is not enough."

He opened the door slightly and gazed at the empty street before shutting the door again. He sighed. With twenty-seven body forgings, he was only a fourth-stage Skysoar. He lamented his weakness. With a physical cultivation of fourth-stage Skysoar, he could only match early Mountainseas in combat.

It would seem like he still had a long way to go! Sooner or later, chaos would erupt in Great Xia. His current strength was not enough to participate in the coming chaos. Even if he couldn't grow strong enough to play a dominant role during the chaos, he needed enough strength to at least protect Bai Feng, Hong Tan, and the others.

"The moment morning arrives, I'll start asking around for reliable sources of information. The Sea of Stars will be my next location."

While waiting for morning to arrive, he did not waste his time idling around. He sat down cross-legged and returned to cultivation. With his heavenly source qi, he forged his body while using the breathing technique.

After his previous experience with the heavenearth profound light, heavenly source qi felt incredibly slow to cultivate with. Alas, this was the best thing he could use at the moment. Su Yu decided to tolerate using heavenly source qi for now. The more he forged his body, the higher the difficulty would be. With heavenly source qi, he could probably still complete a forging about once every two weeks or once per month. That would suffice for now.

He felt terrible. This was the same as telling someone who was used to flying to start crawling instead. But what could he do but accept it? Heavenly source qi was no longer that much of a big deal to him. No, even the little furball in his head was thinking the same.

While Su Yu was cultivating.

Outside Heavendoom City.

The Invincibles finally met their respective young geniuses.

Dao King looked at Dao Cheng. He said nothing when he saw the silent Dao Cheng. His gaze landed on Devil King Mo Ge, the ancestor of Mo Duona, and said, "Mo Ge, what do we do about Su Yu?"

Mo Ge coldly said, "Eternals do not involve ourselves in these matters."

Dao King nodded, "I'm aware. If this is a regular person, no, even if this is a different genius, a super genius, including people like Xia Longwu, we will not interfere. Just like how we never interfered with Xia Longwu back then. If Eternals start killing juniors, ultimate chaos will descend. The immortals and humans are still allied. But the crucial issue with Su Yu is not his ability to kill, his ability to kill Jiu Xuan, or his ability to get so many Sunmoons killed. Rather..."

Dao King spoke in a relatively fair manner. They did not interfere in matters below the Invincible Realm. That would only change when one reached the point where one was attempting dao affirmation.

But Su Yu was different. Back then, Xia Longwu had also caused the deaths of many Sunmoons. But no Invincible had ever moved against him. They had all waited until he was at the point of dao affirmation.

But Su Yu was also a genius of the multiple character faction. He was the successor of the fifth principal.

Mo Ge thought about it and said, "I know what you're saying. You met Qin Guang on your way here, right? What did he say?"

"He wanted to protect Su Yu. That is not surprising. But Su Yu is still not worth the protection of all the human Invincibles. Thus, he will only interfere in the dark if we make a move now. A war will not break out as the other human Invincibles won't agree."

After a short silence, Mo Ge said, "I agree that Su Yu must die. I'm not even worried about the involvement of the human Eternals. I'm only worried about their suppressive force. If they manage to activate it, they will start taking their revenge for the slaughter we unleashed in the Human Realm back then."

The human race was quite petty. Everyone knew that. They had only been swallowing their anger because they weren't a match for all their enemies. This was especially true for people like Great Qin King. They were not ones to swalllow their anger silently. Back when they first discovered their immunity to the suppressive force of the other realms, they had invaded numerous realms and taken countless lives.

Those murderous Invincibles were partly why the human race was in its current difficult situation. Some of the minor races were terrified of their madness. Most of the human prefectural founders were crazy.

When Dao King saw that Mo Ge agreed with him, he nodded, "In that case, let us force the human race to hand Su Yu out."

Suddenly, Mo Duona said, "If I were Su Yu, I wouldn't return to the human race. There is no need to hand my fate to the hands of others."

Even when facing Invincibles, he spoke calmly, "Senior Dao King, if I'm Su Yu, I will continue roaming the Allheaven Battlefield. If not, I'll hide inside a minor realm. The Human Realm is the last place I'll be at. I don't know Su Yu well. To be precise, I only sensed his presence several times instead of properly meeting him before. But I believe he won't return to the human race."

After a short silence, Dao King smiled, "True. He is a genius. He has other options. Mo Duona, where do you think he'll go?"

Mo Duona gave it some thought and said, "Sea of Stars, the devil territory, or a minor realm. The devil territory is more chaotic relatively. There, the principle of the strong devour the weak is especially obvious. There are too many wars in the demonic beast territory. A minor realm will be the safest choice."

In short, it was unlikely for Su Yu to return to the human territory. It was also quite unlikely for him to enter the immortal territory or the divine territory.

Dao Cheng suddenly spoke, "Grandfather, you are extremely skilled in divination. Is it possible for you to divine his current location?"

Dao King shook his head, "Divination without any strong intermediary is too difficult. It will be much easier if we have his blood, hair, or other belongings."

Regardless, he still gave it a try. A character appeared above his palm and started spinning. After a while, the character shook. Dao King shook his head and said, "It's not possible. Time and space have been disrupted badly here and we can't enter the city. All these factors are making the divination even harder."

There was no way for them to rewind time.

Beside him, a different devil king said, "That's easy to solve. Su Yu's family is still around. Capture his father and track him with his father's blood. At worst, we can rewind time and try to kill Su Yu nineteen years ago. He's still very young. We might be able to kill him that way..."

Dao King shook his head, "It is a bad idea to interfere with the past when rewinding time. That might cause a temporal disruption. The person rewinding time might die. This is only an option when we are left with no other choices. For now, we can consider capturing Su Yu's father and tracking him through the blood of his family. But the human race won't agree."

Their best option was Su Long. After a short discussion, the Invincibles dispersed. Secret orders were passed down in the various races.

The Sea of Stars, devil territory, and demonic beast territory would be watched for Su Yu's whereabouts. Everyone was ordered to report any encounter with unusual geniuses or out-of-ordinary experts. People like Su Yu would not stay low profile forever.

As Invincibles who were once young geniuses, they knew these young geniuses too well. In fact, if Su Yu really decided to keep hiding, they didn't even need to worry about him anymore. That would only stunt his growth. A genius like Su Yu could only grow amid chaos and upheaval.
