Chapter 109 - 109

Chapter 1489: Chaotic Battle In The King's Residence (3)

Inside the Luminous Domain Mansion.

With the arrival of the immortal kings, the number of the Invincibles in the Devote King's residence further increased. The death sovereigns remained outside, not daring to step into the residence.

They were especially fearful of the floating blade in the residence. Out of nowhere, Xing Yue's leadership became worthless.

Tuofa said, "We managed to kill an immortal king, but we only managed to extract four drops of blood essence. Xing Yue, is this enough?"

Xing Yue accepted the blood essence. Knowing that the death sovereigns were growing impatient, she said, "We can only settle with this for now."

The other death sovereigns were relieved to hear that. Instantly, they all vanished without bothering to say anything.

He Tu remained. When all the other death sovereigns were gone, he coldly said, "Do you think death spirits are so easy to control? Xing Yue, are you dreaming of conquering the Death Realm?"

Xing Yue looked at He Tu like she was looking at a fool. When did she say that? What a weird guy.

He Tu couldn't be bothered to say much. He asked, "By the way, where is your subordinate? Is he dead?"

"Su Yu?"

"Yes." He Tu said, "He offended me recently. Xing Yue, tell me his location. I'll kill him. Don't worry, I'll compensate you for this."

Xing Yue's expression turned cold.

After a short moment, she replied, "He is disguising himself as Mo Duona of the devil race. He's probably hiding in the secret realm or a heaven weapon of a devil king. Sure. Go and kill him. He's annoying." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by noᴠelfire.net

He Tu was slightly doubtful, but he did not want to waste more time here. But after taking only a few steps, he looked at Dummy and snorted. "Stay with Xing Yue."

Then, he vanished. Dummy stared at Xing Yue blankly. Xing Yue stared at Dummy blankly as well. Why her? This guy had obviously just awakened not long ago. What was the point of having him around? Look at how dumb he looked. What could a brainless guy like this do?

Just as Xing Yue was about to chase him away, she recalled something and rippled her death qi.

Su Yu was feeling quite helpless. Why were the death spirits so unreliable? How were they supposed to conquer the world of the living with such a fragile unity? How were they so impatient? On the bright side, they had killed an immortal king before splitting off.

However, their performance was truly poor. There were eleven of them, while there were only five immortal kings. How did they kill only one? Just He Tu, Tuofa, and Dummy should be enough to kill more than that. After all, there was not a single seventh-degree Eternal among the immortals.

Just as he was feeling regret, he received a message from Xing Yue.

"He Tu tossed me a newly awakened death spirit. He's dumb. Do you think I should kick him off?"

"..."

Su Yu was left quite speechless. He could see that Xing Yue was getting impatient as well.

Holy shit!

How did she reach the decision to throw such a valuable free thug away? No wonder. No wonder she did so badly in her career as a death sovereign.

Su Yu had seen the dumb death spirit with his own eyes before. He could see that the death spirit was very strong. He also remembered that the death spirit in question was still quite simple-minded. He replied, "Keep him by your side. He's strong enough to be used as your bodyguard. How can you kick someone so useful aside?"

Su Yu could only say that the death spirits were hopeless. He only hated that he wasn't strong enough or this would be the perfect opportunity for him to disguise himself as a death spirit and rise as the leader of all death spirits.

The Death Realm was incredibly powerful, but it had zero unity. Thus, it would never be a proper match for the myriad races. No wonder the myriad races did not really fear the death spirits that much.

If it wasn't for Su Yu's guidance, it was likely that the death sovereigns would not be able to kill even one immortal king.

"Fine."

Xing Yue hurriedly added, "I don't need you to teach me."

Since when did she need his guidance?

She continued, "What now? Tuofa and the others are gone. They don't have the courage to attack the Devote King's residence since the Source Return Blade is still there. They are looking for victims outside the residence instead..."

Su Yu thought about it and said, "Just wait. It's fine. It's only a matter of time before everyone is forced to gather at the residence, including the death spirits. Let them have some fun outside. When everyone outside is dead, they will naturally return to the residence."

"..."

Xing Yue did not want to agree, but she couldn't help but agree that death spirits could not control their desire to kill. That was by design. All death spirits held an obsession to enter the world of the living. This was imprinted into their very being. Something like that could not be changed.

That was why the various death sovereigns had never given up on exiting the various death tunnels. From the moment they rose from the Celestial River of Death, their sole desire was to kill their way into the world of the living.

The stronger ones would still be able to restrain this desire somewhat, but the weaker death spirits could only obey their desire.

Xing Yue asked, "By the way, we only managed to get four drops of blood essence from that guy. Do you want it? If you want, I can bestow them upon you. Remember to keep working hard for me."

"Sure."

Su Yu was overjoyed.

Four drops. This wasn't bad at all. He only needed one drop to update the page. The remaining three drops would be enough for him to fight for a period of time. Of course, the premise of that was his body's ability to withstand the power of Invincible blood essence.

He was unsure if his body was already strong enough for that. But it didn't matter. Perhaps he only needed a few more transformations.

***

More and more survivors started converging at the Devote King's residence.

The most dangerous place had turned into the safest place. After all, the death spirits were everywhere outside the residence. Even those who had been able to hide well earlier were forced to flee from the death sovereigns. Some unlucky ones were directly converted into death spirits before they could even flee.

Eventually, even Frost King entered the Devote King's residence with Su Yu and the others. So far, only one Invincible had died. But a large number of Pseudo Invincibles and Sunmoons had died.

Even now, moons were still dropping from the sky nonstop. The various Invincibles sat cross-legged outside the courtyard. They did not approach the pond. They merely waited there in silence.

Nobody said anything when the immortal kings arrived. It was undeniable that the immortals had suffered great losses in the mansion this time. The immortal kings had ugly expressions. Why were they so unlucky?

After taking some time to recover slightly, Immortal King Xuan He said, "Everyone, the immortals are withdrawing from the competition over the skylotus. However, we have a condition for our withdrawal."

The moment those words were said, Zhu Tianfang sighed. The condition would most certainly be related to the humans. There was no doubt about that. This had always been how things were. It didn't matter how much they fought among themselves. They would always find a chance to deal more damage to the human race.

Sure enough, Immortal King Xuan He said, "Someone must die for that to happen. Su Yu. I suspect that he is hiding among the humans. After all, the humans have the highest number of survivors among us. We can either kill them all or inspect all their seas of willpower. Everyone, this is not my idea. You all understand how important it is to eliminate Su Yu."

"..."

Zhu Tianfang did not feel like saying anything. He saw this coming. And he was completely unsurprised.

Su Yu was indeed everyone's target. This would allow both the immortals and humans to exit the competition, making things easier for the other races. Naturally, it would be even better if they could dig Su Yu out through this method.

***

Inside the Illusory Heaven Mirror.

Su Yu sank into silence.

He swore to teach all these people an even harsher lesson. They had been targeting him repeatedly. Even when they were targeting the humans, they had to use his name as the excuse. This was intolerable.

Sure, Su Yu had severed his relationship with humanity. But he understood that humanity had indeed been implicated by his actions. He felt both helpless and furious.

Since they couldn't kill him, they were taking their anger out on the humans. The immortals were truly shameless and annoying. He became firmer and firmer in his desire to hunt the immortals to extinction.

But soon, Su Yu suppressed the anger in his heart. For now, there was nothing he could do. The nine-leaf skylotus was the only thing that could change this. He focused on the nine-leaf skylotus, looking at the slowly blooming final petal.

"Immortals...when I gain enough strength to kill Invincibles, all immortals will die. Everyone else can be spared, but not the immortals."

Su Yu swore to himself. The immortals had successfully provoked his full wrath.

Chapter 1490: Spear Of Qin (1)

"Must you target us?"

Xia Longwu had a frosty expression.

Even now, the immortals were still trying to target humanity. Again and again, they were the ones to start trouble for humanity.

In that case...

What was the point of more patience?

"Kill!"

With a roar, a blinding blade appeared in the sky. Xia Longwu had attacked out of nowhere.

At the same time, Qin Zhen's spear soared into the sky as well. He roared with laughter, "I told you! The immortals are shit-stirrers! They have been doing this for many years. They will always create trouble for the leading race. You need to teach them a good lesson with a good beating. The humans, divines, and devils have been fighting each other for many years while the immortals are the only ones accumulating strength in peace. They must have forgotten how it feels to lose Invincibles."

That was true. The immortals had always been flaky in their attitude. They would constantly realign their stance and suppress the leading race.

When the divines and devils were strong, they would align toward the humans. Even so, the humans would be the ones forced to fight on the front lines. And the humans had no choice since they were fighting for their survival. And when humanity grew enough to threaten the immortals, it was humanity's turn to be suppressed.

Rumbling sounds rang out.

Zhu Tianfang and Zhou Polong had attacked as well.

Amazingly Beautiful Places Around the World Open

Zhu Tianfang laughed and said, "Let us fight the immortals to our hearts' content. We will eliminate the immortals and suffer heavy damages doing so. With that, we won't be able to fight over the skylotus anymore. This is the best solution. Otherwise, their proposal to withdraw from the competition is bullshit. Do you think they will really give up when they have enough strength to fight for the skylotus? Remember. Don't get involved in this. We won't stop until one of us dies off completely."

After saying that, he manifested twelve characters around him. Instantly, the space around him was frozen. Four human kings against four immortal kings. The humans were making it very clear that they would fight the immortals to the death.

Immortal King Xuan He said, "Don't trust them! They—"

Boom!

"You talk too much."

Xia Longwu's saber arrived. He was a fourth-degree Eternal while Xuan He was a fifth-degree Eternal. There wasn't that much of a gap between them.

"If anyone dares to get involved, we will target them instead."

An intense battle between the immortals and humans erupted. All around them, one Invincible after another appeared. They watched the unfolding battle, but nobody said anything.

Since the immortals wanted to do this, they found no harm in letting the immortals fight the humans. The humans had made it clear that they would only target the immortals. Four against four. The weaker party would die.

Saber, spear, and characters flew about in the area. Space collapsed, rumbling sounds erupted, and shockwaves spread everywhere. Some of the nearby death spirits died instantly, spawning even more death spirits in the residence.

In the battle between immortals and humans, Zhu Tianfang was able to suppress his opponent, Xia Longwu was able to fight his opponent equally, Zhou Polong was able to gain a slight advantage, and Qin Zhen...was only aggressive for three moves before he became a punching bag of his opponent.

Thankfully, his years of experience in the army had taught him how to receive a beating bravely. He would return each attack he received with another attack. He might be the one to suffer more damage, but he might not necessarily be the one to lose in terms of endurance.

It felt as though the world around the eight Invincibles was ending. The other Invincibles did not dare to get involved in such an intense battle rashly. But it wasn't like they wanted to get involved either.

The Heaven Department head sent a voice transmission, "When one party is near defeat, work together to throw them out of the residence. We can't allow any of them to die here and spawn more death sovereigns."

The surrounding Invincibles did not object to that. This was something they could do. They were happy to see the immortals and humans fight, but they definitely didn't want these people to die in the residence. If they must die here, they should die to the Source Return Blade as that was the only way one could die in the residence without spawning more death spirits.

In comparison, the eleven death sovereigns outside were much easier to deal with. Since they were outside the residence, they could be killed without spawning more death spirits.

***

Inside the Illusory Heaven Mirror.

Su Yu watched in silence as the eight Invincibles fought bitterly. Qin Zhen was being suppressed by his opponent, but Zhu Tianfang was also suppressing his opponent. None of them considered switching opponents. Each of them was trying to be the first to kill their opponent. The moment one was killed, the balance would shift. The party with more Invincibles left would win.

While the immortals and humans were fighting, the divines and devils started sending voice transmissions to each other. Or to be precise, they had sealed the space around them to talk privately among themselves.

"If the humans win, do we kill them?"

"Yes."

"The question is, when do we act? Do we wait until a few immortals are dead or do we act the moment the humans have the upper hand?"

"We'll see. At the very least, we need to tire the humans out."

The young geniuses of the divines and devils who had not sealed their six senses could hear the conversation as well. The Invincibles had spoken openly, as though they were confident all those people had sealed their six senses.

Inside the Illusory Heaven Mirror.

Su Yu was keeping his eyes shut with a grimace on his face, as though he was suffering from the voices in his head. He knew what they were doing. Those Invincibles were deliberately speaking openly to lure him into action.

They had guessed that he was most likely hiding among them. However, they still couldn't bring themselves to kill all these young geniuses and experts. Thus, they had resorted to an open scheme like this. They were waiting for him to reveal himself.

Sure enough, an Invincible sneered and continued, "The humans sure are unlucky. They have been implicated by Su Yu and Lan Tian. Those two must have enjoyed themselves killing so many people, but so what? All these humans will die here."

"They are already public enemies. They should have learned to keep a low profile instead of running around provoking everyone."

The Invincibles talked one after another, acting like they were in a serious discussion. But in truth, they were waiting for Su Yu to take the bait.

At the same time, a weak wave of willpower was inspecting every inch of the Illusory Heaven Mirror.

Su Yu continued acting indifferent. Inwardly, he rippled his death qi lightly.

"Can you rush into the residence? If that's possible, I need your assistance. You need to rush in during a crucial moment." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel-fire.ɴet

Xing Yue did not reply. Rushing into the residence? She did not mind it, but it was unlikely that the other death sovereigns would follow her lead.

An Invincible said, "The humans are dead. I found them. All of them are hiding inside a character of Zhu Tianfang. We can kill every single human in the mansion by killing these human Eternals. Let's see if Su Yu and Lan Tian have the courage to reveal themselves and keep us too occupied to do that."

"Are they that dumb? I believe that Great Ming King has sneaked into the mansion as well."

"It's fine. The Blood Fire Devil King is keeping an eye on him. He won't have the courage to do anything rash."

"..."

They were making it clear to Su Yu and Lan Tian that revealing themselves was the sole option. As for whether they would die right after appearing, it would be up to their skills. They were important enough to distract all the Invincibles from the other humans.

"Do I look that stupid?"

Su Yu snorted inwardly. He told himself that he wasn't stupid enough to fall for that.

If all those humans really ended up dying...he only needed to avenge them. He would be stupid to show himself without any guarantee of his own life.

Rather than showing himself, Su Yu was thinking of a way to distract everyone and create an opportunity for the death spirits to harvest the nine-leaf skylotus. He would not show himself before then.

Just then, Xing Yue's reply came.

"I can enter with the dumb guy. I can also get two other death sovereigns to enter. As for the rest...I have no way of convincing them. These idiots have completely forgotten about their benefactor."

Xing Yue was very angry! Those ungrateful bastards! When she attempted to contact those death sovereigns, most didn't even bother to give her a reply. Had they forgotten that she was the one to win them this freedom? Naturally, she had completely forgotten that she wasn't actually the one to win them this freedom.

Su Yu said, "Sure. But you should stay outside. Let that dumb guy enter. Have him place the Invincible blood essence on a Sunmoon death spirit. Mark it with your aura. I will look for the blood essence myself. Do not hand it to me directly. You only need to get that death spirit to approach Frost Divine King.

"If I do show up, get the celestial chasms to go after me. I might show myself when the nine-leaf skylotus blooms. You only need to prioritize the skylotus. There is a River of Time behind the skylotus. Watch out for that. Remember, the skylotus will bloom nine times. Only one petal will be available per bloom."

Yes, even when the nine-leaf skylotus was mature, it wouldn't be fully mature. Only a petal would bloom at a time. It would be complete after nine blooms. It also required nine harvests. Naturally, subsequent harvests would be easier after the first harvest.

Su Yu sank into thought. He wondered if he could snatch one or two petals first. That would allow him to transform his source qi several times before consuming a drop of Invincible blood essence. That would grant him the strength of an Invincible. He could even take the chance to catch one Invincible by surprise and kill them. He was completely ignoring the bait of the divines and devils. They could attack the humans right away if they were really so confident about it.

Xia Longwu and the others were no pushovers. They would most certainly keep their words and switch their focus to anyone daring to interfere with the battle. The divines and devils were very clear about the madness humanity was capable of.

It was very likely that Xia Longwu and the others would spare the immortals and risk death just to kill the ones with the courage to interfere. Was that what the devils and divines wanted?

Chapter 1491: Spear Of Qin (2)

Boom!

Qin Zhen was sent flying. His entire body shook, looking like his three bodies were on the verge of separating. When an Invincible was forced out of their fused state, their strength would drop significantly.

And upon losing one or two bodies, an Invincible could very well drop to the level of a Pseudo Invincible in combat strength. The power of time swirled around Qin Zhen, while three overlapping bodies started appearing on him. These were signs that his bodies were going to be forcefully split.

Even in such a condition, and even with all the blood on his body, he grinned and said, "Not bad, Little Bastard. After living for thousands or perhaps tens of thousands of years, you have grown to a level strong enough to barely suppress me. Tell me. Is your woman one of the immortal fairies I killed?"

His opponent was none other than Immortal King Yueshi. The immortal king did not bother to reply. Instead, he stole a glance at Zhu Tianfang, who was giving a different immortal king a beating. Like Qin Zhen, the power of time was swirling around that immortal king, indicating that the immortal king was also on the verge of being forcefully split into three bodies.

At this point, the endurance of Qin Zhen and that immortal king would determine the direction this battle would take. As for Xia Longwu and Zhou Polong, both were doing decently against their opponents.

This was not what the immortals wanted to see. Alas, they had underestimated the decisiveness of the humans. They had not expected the humans to trigger the battle right away.

Over the years, the immortals had not been involved in too many direct battles. For the most part, they had been hiding in the shadows while inciting the others against each other. The human race had only risen in power for a few hundred years during this epoch. In the past, they had been maintaining a respectful attitude toward the immortals for the sake of survival. But now, the humans had decided to be even more decisive than the immortals in severing the fake friendship between the two races.

In truth, Immortal King Yueshi was misunderstanding something. The other human Invincibles were mostly old foxes who would be much more patient. Alas, the human Invincibles that had entered the mansion were mostly the ones with the worst temper.For example, Xia Longwu was bloodthirsty while Qin Zhen was warlike. The other two Invincibles were also relatively young. One could also say that they were the stronger and more warlike Invincibles among those from the younger generation.

It was only natural for them to disdain feigning civility with the immortals.

***

"Sigh." A sigh rang out elsewhere as Umbra emerged from the shadows. Not far away, a crimson silhouette appeared as well. With his hands clasped behind him, the crimson silhouette looked at Umbra and said, "We can both stay out of this. What do you think? That man from the Heaven Department is still around. If we involve ourselves here, he will be the one to win. Don't worry about Xia Longwu and the others. They are youngsters. Let them do what they want."

Hearing that, Umbra laughed and said, "But I'm not that old either."

The Blood Fire Devil King smiled and said nothing about that remark. Instead, he looked up at the sky and asked, "Who do you think will go down first? Qin Zhen or Guang Ran?"

Guang Ran was the immortal king fighting Zhu Tianfang. As a fifth-degree Eternal, he was by no means a weakling. In fact, the same could be said for all four of the immortal kings. Two were fifth-degree Eternals while the other two were fourth-degree Eternals.

The first to fall would greatly affect the result of the battle. Unfortunately, the humans might still be in a bad position even after prevailing against the immortals.

Seeing that Umbra was remaining silent, the Blood Fire Devil King said, "I reckon Qin Zhen will be first to fall. At times, strength is not something endurance alone can provide. Strength is strength. It is that simple. Am I right?"

Umbra remained silent.

The Blood Fire Devil King said, "In truth, I like Qin Zhen a lot. Both he and Xia Longwu remind me of myself when I was younger. But eventually, I realized something. My anger meant nothing. I was weaker than that man. Thus, he was able to rise into the position of the Devil Emperor while my race would remain subordinate to them. Bravery and endurance do not matter. Strength. Strength is the only thing that matters."

Umbra said, "If they die, they die. It's not like humanity has never lost Eternals before. After so many generations, humanity has probably produced enough dead Eternals to be piled into a mountain. No epoch has ever ended without the deaths of dozens of human Eternals."

"True." Blood Fire Devil King said, "Do you think Lan Tian or Su Yu will reveal themselves?"

"Why should they?"

Blood Fire Devil King said, "They might be able to distract some Eternals by showing up. If they remain in hiding, all the humans here will die. The various experts will not spare them."

"What about you?"

"Me? I'm only here to keep an eye on you."

Umbra sighed and said, "You're here for the nine-leaf skylotus. What if I withdraw from the competition? After becoming a Daofuse, you can fight for the emperorship of your race. Why concern yourself with the dispute between the humans and the immortals?"

"I don't really care about the dispute. But I also agree that Su Yu and Lan Tian must die." Blood Fire Devil King said, "Lan Tian is mad. However, I have a way to deal with him. Su Yu is not as mad. He's not even as strong as Lan Tian. But he is connected to the holy cities and soul devourers. If he survives, more devil Eternals will die because of him in the future."

His tone turned serious as he said, "You can only blame humanity for lacking the ability to protect him. He would have lived a good life if humanity were strong enough to suppress the myriad races. Unfortunately, humanity is too weak. Sure, he has severed his relationship with humanity. But he is still a human. Would the holy cities join the battle when humanity was truly on the verge of extinction?"

Umbra said nothing.

Yes. Su Yu. To kill Su Yu. That was the only reason the devils and divines were prepared to get involved as well. Otherwise, they would be glad to see the humans and immortals kill each other. Why should they be concerned about that?

"The skylotus is on the verge of blooming..." Umbra muttered to himself.

Blood Fire Devil King laughed and said, "What's the rush? The nine bloomings are merely the start. There is no rush. That guy from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion knows what's happening as well."

Just then, Qin Zhen was sent flying again with yet another rumble. He was already blood-soaked at this point. The River of Time swirling around him snapped, and his body separated into three.

This wasn't a display of strength. Rather, this was an indication that he had been injured so much he couldn't keep his three bodies fused anymore. All three Qin Zhens were equally soaked in blood. One of them, an armored Qin Zhen, roared furiously, "Trash! Why is my future so useless? Why can't you kill even a geezer?"

The robed Qin Zhen complained gloomily, "What stupid question is that? He's so old. How old am I?"

"Shut up, both of you!"

The middle Qin Zhen shouted at them, "Why are you still running your mouth at this time? Even if we die, we must die dragging this bastard down!"

Immortal King Yueshi looked completely indifferent as he floated there while the wounds on his body healed slowly. On his River of Time, five indistinct waves could be seen. Each of the waves was gigantic in size.

Noticing that, the eyes of some of the observing Invincibles flickered.

After such a long battle, they could all see that Immortal King Yueshi was already near the fifth degree. Meanwhile, Qin Zhen was still at the third degree. However, he was a fresh third degree who had achieved such a level due to the boost he had received for advancing in the Allheaven Battlefield. His actual combat strength was likely lower than that.

Against an opponent like Immortal King Yueshi, who was also fighting to the death, it was unlikely that Qin Zhen would be a match. Generally, Qin Zhen would flee when facing an opponent like this. But this was not the time for him to flee.

It would be quite difficult for a fifth-degree Eternal to kill a third-degree Eternal. But in a battle to the death with no escape, things would change. If Qin Zhen were to flee, his companions would be in trouble.

Thus, he had to persist. The one to flee would subject his companions to damnation. Then again, it wasn't like escape was possible. With eleven death sovereigns on the level, fleeing alone while heavily injured was tantamount to throwing his life away.

***

Outside.

He Tu and the other death sovereigns were focusing on the battle above the Devote King's residence. As He Tu watched, his eyes flickered repeatedly.

"Humanity..."

"The glory of humanity!"

Numerous ancient memories surfaced in his mind.

The glory of humanity!

That was the mantra of his father. He had long forgotten it after dying, but after seeing Su Yu's star chart earlier, some memories had returned to him.

The glory of humanity!

He...was he still a human?

He was a death spirit!

He had forgotten his past. He had forgotten everything. This was a different life. He Tu was no longer He Tu.

"Father..."

He Tu's eyes flickered as scenes from the past emerged in his mind.

He recalled his father. He recalled his father's last words.

He felt like...he should cry.

But...he was not even capable of crying anymore.

He was a death spirit.

Fury was the sole emotion death spirits could feel.

Death spirits did not fear death. They would only pretend to be fearful, but fear was not an emotion they could actually feel. Death spirits were incomplete. They were akin to puppets, their strings under the tight grasp of the heavenly laws.

They were filled with fury from the first moment of their existence. Their sole desire was to kill their way back to the world of the living. Their sole desire was to convert the Myriad Realms into the Death Realm.

Other emotions? They did not exist.

Even when their past memories returned, they would only pretend to feel those emotions. For example, if He Tu wanted to cry when he recalled his dead father, he could only pretend to be sad without really feeling sad.

Deep inside, he was still cold and indifferent.

"I am now a death spirit..."

He Tu kept muttering to himself. According to his memories, he should assist the humans. But he did not do so. Why? Because something inside him was telling him that all living beings should die.

His emotions...became slightly complicated.

"Am I incapable of feeling grief?"

"Am I incapable of feeling hatred?"

"Am I only capable of feeling anger?"

Suddenly, He Tu grinned. Yes. Fury. That was the only thing he could feel. In that case, shouldn't he direct his fury toward the immortals? He recalled something. He glared at the immortals with a burning fury.

Boundless fury. Those people deserved death!

Since he was no longer capable of feeling love, he should embrace his sole remaining emotion: fury.

***

Far away.

Xing Yue was feeling quite indifferent as well. She did not feel any sort of anger. But for some reason, she was feeling lost. She wanted to kill Su Yu, but she also didn't want to kill him anymore. That bastard had been ordering her around. That was annoying.

But Xing Yue was also finding herself looking forward to something. She had not felt any other emotions for many, many years. One such emotion was the sense of excitement after a thrill.

"He will still help the humans...right?"

She looked at Dummy and noted the slightly complicated emotions in Dummy's eyes. She asked, "What are you looking at? Were you a human?"

With the same blank expression, Dummy nodded, "Perhaps...I...want to help them...but...I don't want...as well..."

"Such is the life of a death spirit." Xing Yue sighed, "You still don't have most of your memories. You won't understand how complicated this feels. I wonder...if I were to return to life one day...would I still be the same? I believe...I would kill that guy after regaining all my memories and emotions!"

"I don't like him! In my memories, nobody has ever dared to bully me this way! However...I can't feel anything except fury! I have no other emotion! What about you, Dummy?" Newest update provıded by novelFɪre.net

"Me?" Dummy answered blankly, "I...don't know."

"Sure enough, you're dumb. All death spirits are dumb. All living beings are smart. Only the stupid ones will die."

Chapter 1492: Spear Of Qin (3)

Splurt!

Qin Zhen's past body was coughing blood repeatedly. In fact, this body was on the verge of falling apart. Immortal King Yueshi was starting to gain more and more advantage over him.

Zhou Tianfang was starting to grow anxious. Even Xia Longwu and Zhou Polong were attacking madly, desperate to defeat their opponents. They were able to inflict numerous wounds on their opponents in their madness, but those wounds were not heavy enough to do much harm to their opponents.

The immortals were clearly trying to drag this out. They only needed to drag this out long enough for Qin Zhen to die. His death would signify their victory.

It was rather unlikely that the other races would attack them in the event of their victory. Nothing could stay victorious forever. They could kill the humans without much repercussions, but the same couldn't be said for the immortals. They had to consider the overall strength of the immortal race before doing so. Could they survive the wrath of the immortal race upon leaving the mansion?

Meanwhile, the divines and devils were still saying provocative words in their attempt to lure him out. He merely ignored them.

Suddenly, a series of giggles rang out in the air.

Instantly, the divines and devils attacked.

Boom!

Space collapsed as numerous Lan Tians crumbled apart. Far away, a scholarly Lan Tian in white robes said softly, "I don't think...I have the ability to help. Humans...are truly complicated. I have long known the result, yet I'm still here."

Step by step, he walked forward. He smiled gently, but suddenly, his smile turned into a smile of sadness and madness, "I want my revenge!"

Boom!

The space trembled.

"I have been wronged!"

Once again, he resonated with Old Zhou. That was the only way for him to gain more strength here. Yes. Lan Tian had shown himself. He could not hold back.

While coughing blood, Qin Zhen laughed and said, "Lan Tian, what is a madman like you doing here?"

Surrounded by Invincibles, Lan Tian spoke with a pitiful voice, "I don't want to, but...I have no choice. My myriad clones told me to keep hiding. But...my human clone is dumb. He told me to go. He told me not to be scared."

While laughing like a lunatic, Lan Tian said, "I am a human. I have never betrayed humanity. Isn't that so? I only wish to forge my own version of humanity. My dream humanity. But I am still a human. Isn't that so?"

"Why must you call me a traitor? I'm not. Tiansheng isn't. We are humans. We are humans. Are we humans, Qin Zhen?"

After coughing a mouthful of blood, Qin Zhen said, "Yes. You're humans. But we were scared that the myriad races would target us if we acknowledged that. But now, I understand. I fucking understand. It does not matter. Only strength matters. If you're weak, you bend over. That is all."

A loud bang rang out.

Finally, one Qin Zhen was defeated. A carrier treasure dropped from the sky.

"Qin Zhen!"

Xia Longwu roared furiously.

The remaining Qin Zhens sighed helplessly and said, "You can't blame me. I fucking tried my best. I..I'm not his match. I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry..."

Suddenly, he stared at Immortal King Yueshi and grinned.

Immortal King Yueshi asked coldly, "Are you thinking of detonating yourself? That won't hurt me. If you do that, you will spawn a death sovereigns. The observers will move you out of the residence before killing you. You won't have the chance to complete your self-detonation. Stop being stupid. This is pointless."

When Qin Zhen looked around, one Invincible after another stepped out of the void indifferently. Yes. They were using their presence to prove that Immortal King Yueshi was right.

"This feels terrible." Qin Zhen laughed and said, "Truly terrible. Do I not have the ability to even choose how I die?"

After losing one of his three bodies, he had weakened significantly. He could no longer be their match.

This was his limit.

***

Inside the Illusory Heaven Mirror.

Su Yu's body shook slightly as he kept telling himself to ignore them all.

Qin Zhen's life did not concern him. He didn't even know Qin Zhen well. He had only met Qin Zhen a few times. He first met Qin Zhen during their time at Great Ming. Back then, Qin Zhen was a straightforward and carefree man. With a smile, Qin Zhen had told him how great it was to kill immortal fairies. Qin Zhen had also told him that immortal fairies were best killed in secret.

He invited Su Yu to Great Qin, promising him the greatest bloodbath of his life after joining them.

He told Su Yu that Great Qin was the best prefecture under the heaven.

He told Su Yu that Great Qin was strong enough to sweep through the Myriad Realms.

They weren't close.

He told Su Yu that Great Qin did not have any corpses in stock. They needed to go on a hunt to collect the required corpses. A few days later, Su Yu received some fresh corpses.

This was one of the few humans Su Yu was unfamiliar with yet didn't hate. In fact, Su Yu found him interesting and fun.

Qin Zhen.

Prefect of Great Qin, one who had spent hundreds of years in the Allheaven Battlefield, one who had swept through the Myriad Realms at the helm of the armies of Great Qin. He was the guardian of the human border. He was someone who had killed numerous enemies of humanity.

Today, he lost one of his three bodies. Right in front of Su Yu's eyes.

"The strong are free to share their benevolence while the weak shall always prioritize themselves."

These were the words Wan Tiansheng had told him. He was taught not to get involved in matters beyond his ability to handle.

Did he have the ability to handle this?

Su Yu did not know the answer. He only knew that many of his trump cards had only been prepared for the nine-leaf skylotus, not to help Qin Zhen. Why should he care about Qin Zhen? He needed the nine-leaf skylotus.

With the skylotus, he would grow strong. Upon growing strong, he would have the ability to do whatever he wanted.

Why must he expose his trump cards for Qin Zhen, someone he didn't even know that well?

Suddenly, Su Yu rippled his death qi, "Lord, please enter the residence. Throw everything into chaos."

***

Outside the Devote King's residence, Xing Yue raised her brow.

The nine-leaf skylotus had yet to bloom.

She could potentially snatch one of the petals if she were to enter when it was blooming. But...Su Yu was telling her to enter now. Was he giving up on the nine-leaf skylotus? This would expose more than he wanted.

But soon, Xing Yue decided it was too tiring to think so much. Thus, she sneered and rushed into the Devote King's residence. At the same time, Dummy and two other death sovereigns did the same.

Four death sovereigns had entered at the same time.

The Invincibles inside the residence were alarmed. Why were these death spirits here when the immortals were on the verge of victory against the humans?

Inside the residence, Xing Yue roared, "Kill the immortals! How dare they challenge me?"

Boom!

Xing Yue sent a palm attack toward Immortal King Yueshi, interrupting the immortal king's attempt to kill Qin Zhen. He roared furiously, "The humans are colluding with the death spirits!"

He was certain.

He roared, "Are you seeing this, everyone? The humans are colluding with the death spirits!"

This was too big of a coincidence. It was way too convenient. Why were they attacking just as he was about to kill Qin Zhen? Was this truly a coincidence? What nonsense.

In fact, the other Invincibles had also reached the same conclusion.

At the same time, Xing Yue's voice rang out in the mind of the celestial chasm Invincible, "We will be pretending to help the humans against the immortals. After killing the immortals, we will kill the humans. We will turn all humans into death spirits. Find a way to delay the other races."

Just as the celestial chasm Invincible hesitated, Xing Yue's voice arrived again, "Don't forget the oath."

At that reminder, the celestial chasm Invincible's expression changed as he roared, "The skylotus will bloom soon! Let's join hands to move them all away from this place!"

Noticing the gazes of the various Invincibles on him, he continued, "It doesn't matter if they are colluding with each other. We can't allow the death spirits to damage the skylotus. Unlike us, the death spirits do not care about it!"

That instantly triggered a reaction from the various Invincibles. More than ten of them acted together. In the blink of an eye, the eight Invincibles in combat were moved far away from the skylotus.

Qin Zhen, who was waiting for the final battle, blanked out slightly before rushing toward Xing Yue out of nowhere.

Whatever. Since the death spirits were targeting the immortals as well, he might as well join hands with the death spirits for now. Sure, it was far more likely for him to die in the hands of the death spirits first, but he didn't care anymore.

If he was going to die either way, he would rather die to the death spirits.

***

Inside the Illusory Heaven Mirror.

Su Yu exhaled lightly.

This had exposed one of his trump cards. This was enough to cause some Invincibles to hesitate before doing anything. His biggest trump card had been exposed.

Did he regret it?

Slightly. He had been cursing Qin Zhen nonstop inwardly for being useless. Alas, he had to help Qin Zhen as gratitude for Qin Zhen's guidance in how to kill immortal fairies. Yes. He still remembered Qin Zhen telling him that immortal fairies were the most beautiful when they were dead.

This was his way of repaying that debt. He would not save Qin Zhen anymore after this.

***

At the same time.

The expressions of some people turned odd.

Blood Fire Devil King said, "Were these death spirits here because of the human race...or Su Yu? As a pseudo death spirit, Su Yu is probably capable of communicating with the death spirits. Is this him?"

Blood Fire Devil King sighed, "What an incredible freak. Holy city guardians, ancient race of soul devourers, and death sovereigns. Is Su Yu capable of colluding with anyone he wants?"

He smiled and continued, "See, I'm right. As living beings, nobody can stop caring about their own race. Even Su Yu, even Lan Tian, even Wan Tiansheng...can't stop caring. They might be disappointed in humanity. They might hate humanity. But they can't stop caring. Their claims that they are no longer humans is nothing but a joke."

Umbra had mixed feelings about this. Was he gratified? Was he sad? Was he helpless?

He was feeling all those emotions at the same time.

A human would always be a human.

When it mattered, all these lunatics had stepped forth. Such was Lan Tian. Such was Su Yu. Umbra knew very well that this death spirit was most likely the one who had reached an agreement with Su Yu.

Su Yu. What an incredible individual.

How did he do this?

Alas, the more potential he showed, the more others would want to kill him. With a sigh, Umbra stepped forth. Instantly, Blood Fire Devil King appeared before him and said, "Are you really going?"

"Well, you were right. As fellow humans, it would be pointless to claim that we don't care. It would be a total joke. And I am a human."

Umbra smiled and said, "Blood Fire, looks like you're really determined to fight me today."

Blood Fire Devil King remained silent for a long while before replying, "No. You are the one determined to fight me. Are you confident, Great Ming King?"

"Great Ming King?"

Umbra laughed, "Old Zhu...isn't here. He wouldn't have stayed silent while Qin Zhen was in trouble. Alas, I am the cold-blooded one. Even when my son is dying, I refused to act. All for the sake of the greater good..."

"What?"

Boom!

A deafening hum explosion erupted as Blood Fire Devil King was sent flying while coughing blood.

With his back straight, Umbra said, "That foolish son of mine has always been stupid. I thought of sacrificing my own son since everyone was willing to sacrifice themselves for me. Does that make me a great man? Or does that make me cold-blooded? Am I unfeeling? I can't die here. I can only show up at the final moment to win the skylotus. Otherwise, things will get very troublesome. Unfortunately...sigh. I don't think I'm qualified to become the Pseudo Emperor of humanity. I am selfish. I am still afraid of losing my son. I can only apologize to Old Zhou and the others for my impatience."

Boom!

A spear appeared in the sky.

Everyone was stunned.

The guardian of humanity. Great Qin King. He...was here.

The divines, devils, and other races instantly went crazy.

Lightning Divine King roared, "Kill! Kill him! Humanity will mourn this loss!"

"Kill!"

The various Invincibles roared madly.

Great Qin King! It was Great Qin King!

Humanity would be finished with Great Qin King's death. They would lose someone capable of uniting them in a loose alliance.

Great Qin King was not supposed to expose himself. He was right. Exposing himself prematurely would turn him into everyone's target. It would be fine for Great Ming King to be here instead. After all, he was not the guardian of humanity. But Great Qin King was different.

"Father!"

Qin Zhen was stunned. Why was his father here? Wasn't that supposed to be Zhu Tianfang's father?

Great Qin King smiled at his son, but soon, his smile turned stiff as he scolded, "Are you stupid? Why? Why do I have such a stupid son? This is so embarrassing. I was prepared to let you die! But...but...an outsider told me that even those unwilling to consider themselves humans are helping you. As a father...can I be so cold-blooded?"

The expressions of the other human Invincibles changed drastically. Zhu Tianfang roared, "You! If you were to die here, what would happen to humanity?"

More than ten Invincibles charged toward Great Qin King unhesitatingly.

Su Yu was a future threat. But Great Qin King was a current threat. Killing Great Qin King would destroy humanity's present. Without the present, there would be no future. This update ıs available on novel•fire.net

This was the most valuable human in existence.

"If humanity falls just because of this, so be it. Perhaps they deserve such a fate..."

Great Qin King smiled and said, "There will always be someone new. Someone to prop the sky above us up again. Brothers, I will be troubling you all after my departure."

With a rumble, his spear stabbed through space itself before sending Blood Fire Devil King flying. Then, it flickered and appeared before Immortal King Yueshi. Immortal King Yueshi's expression changed drastically, but he couldn't even react before his heart was pierced through by the spear. Next, his River of Time snapped.

Then, the final Immortal King Yueshi was stabbed through.

Boom!

An explosion erupted.

Crimson clouds appeared in the sky.

Dead.

Yes. He was dead.

Yes. Great Qin King had killed Immortal King Yueshi with only three moves.

By the time Immortal King Yueshi was dead, Great Qin King had been surrounded by more than ten Invincibles.

With a cold smile on his face, Great Qin King said, "Let the first kill be the tribute to my banner. It has been a while since I last killed a bastard. So...how many of you are prepared to die today?"

How many of them were prepared to die today? Fear rippled through the other Invincibles.

Spear of Qin. Great Qin King.

How many of them would die killing him?

Chapter 1493: Kill An Invincible (1)

How many of them were prepared to die?

Nobody knew.

They only knew that a death sovereign had just spawned beside Great Qin King. The death sovereign was still confused when a spear swept over and sent him flying.

Great Qin King said, "Death spirits, you need to wait until I'm done killing if you want to come after me."

After the death sovereign was sent near the edge of Devote King's residence, he stopped moving. But he was still confused. Where was this? Right, this was the Luminous Domain Mansion. The heavenly laws had transfered him here. More importantly, where were the original death sovereigns here?

When he turned his head...dang! A bunch of death sovereigns were looking at him from outside the residence.

Tuofa, who was finding the newly arrived death sovereign familiar, sent a voice transmission, "Wait. Let them fight. That's Great Qin King. Deal with him after he's done fighting. He will kill you if you interfere now."

"..."

Once again, the newly arrived death sovereign blanked out. He looked at Great Qin King and the other Invincibles.

Holy shit!

Why were there so many Invincibles here? Also, wasn't that...Great Qin King of the human race? Yes. Even those in the Death Realm were familiar with the current leader of humanity.

Great Qin King, Qin Guang, an incomparably powerful expert.

More importantly, how did Tuofa and the others leave the residence? The newly arrived death sovereign was too confused. He had only one goal here: to kill Great Qin King. That was what the heavenly laws required of him. But he also knew that he couldn't do it. He would fail, allowing the heavenly laws to bring an even stronger death sovereign here. However, Great Qin King had sent him flying.

Looking at the Invincibles near Great Qin King, the death sovereign finally understood something. Death spirits weren't completely stupid. He could see that these Invincibles were going to start fighting soon.

Very good. With a few more deaths, more death sovereigns would arrive. Together, they could kill Great Qin King. Yes. That would be the best plan.

He was curious about the death sovereigns outside the residence, but he wasn't interested in asking too much. He was still too busy feeling excited for his presence here. He had never been in the Luminous Domain Mansion before.

Ultimately, he decided to slow down and look around for now. After all, this was a new place for him.

***

Amid the crowd.

Blood Fire Devil King and Lightning Divine King revealed themselves. With seven devil kings and five divine kings present, there were twelve of them in total.

Behind them, two dragon kings arrived.

The celestial chasm Invincible had arrived.

The nether Invincible had arrived as well.

Sixteen Invincibles.

The phoenix, fate, five elemental, and Heavenly Hunt Pavilion Invincibles stood even further away. They were observing solemnly instead of joining the battle.

Was a ninth-degree Eternal powerful? Yes. Very powerful. That was especially true for Great Qin King, someone on the verge of achieving Daofuse.

However, he was being surrounded by sixteen Invincibles, including one ninth-degree Eternal, two seventh-degree Eternals, and other Eternals among them. Almost all of these people were beyond the middle degree.

Great Qin King was strong enough to fight, three, five, or even eight of them at a time. He was Great Qin King. Not even Blood Fire Divine King could defeat Great Qin King.

But because he was Great Qin King, he was faced with a far higher number of Invincibles. There was no hesitation. Not even Su Yu could lure them away anymore. Because this was Great Qin King. This was the guardian of humanity. Killing him would set the stage for another human defeat.

It didn't matter how strong Great Zhou King and Great Xia King were. Compared to Great Qin King, they were lacking. Sure, Great Qin King wasn't that much stronger than them, but humanity needed his personal charm. He was someone who had guarded the Eastrift Valley alone for four hundred years. He and his spear against the myriad races.

That was the source of his personal charm.

As for the other human Invincibles, they would only rotate in and out of the Allheaven Battlefield. Most of them would remain in seclusion and cultivation even while they were guarding the front lines. However, Great Qin King was an exception. He had never left the Allheaven Battlefield. From the day the Human Realm was connected to the Allheaven Battlefield, he had been guarding humanity against the myriad races.

Four hundred years. Day after day. His protection had allowed humanity to reverse its decline and emerge as one of the top races among the myriad races.

He was not an Emperor.

He was merely an Eternal capable of suppressing all the other human Eternals.

Lightning Divine King shouted, "Great Qin King of the human race has entered the mansion. Is everyone going to keep watching? Are you waiting for Great Qin King to become a Pseudo Emperor and eliminate the myriad races? When a human achieves Daofuse, who can challenge him? He can attack the various realms freely. No suppressive force can stop him."

Nobody had expected to see Great Qin King here. The human race was too bold. Bold yet rash. The risk was too high.

"Heaven Department head, what does the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion think of this? Do you think you stand a chance with Great Qin King here? The skylotus will be his. There is only hope if we join hands and eliminate him."

The Heaven Department head did not react. This wasn't an easy decision to make. The human race was acknowledged as the public enemy.

Nobody wanted to see them produce a Pseudo Emperor. The moment Great Qin King became a Daofuse, he would be able to remain undefeated even when invading other realms.

At present, the various Pseudo Emperors still had the confidence of defending against Great Qin King even when he was invading them. In fact, that would be their best opportunity to kill him.

The celestial chasm and nether races did not have much hesitation about this, but the five elemental, fate, and a few other races hesitated.

Great Qin King watched silently.

He was waiting for the result of the battle between the humans and immortals. Finally, a divine king decided to help the immortals. It was then that a massive explosion erupted.

It was deafening.

A spear shot out, shaking the entire world.

"Kill!"

Boundless killing intent soared into the sky. The divine, devil, dragon, and nether kings acted together. If they did not eliminate Great Qin King here, all of them would die. Since Great Qin King had revealed himself here, peace was no longer possible.

As a gigantic spear swept through the area, an Invincible said, "Five elementals, you can ignore Great Qin King, but attack the other humans. Otherwise, the five elemental race will also be declared the public enemy of the myriad races after this."

"Don't even dream of safety in the event of our deaths. I have already notified those outside by igniting my own blood essence. Everyone is aware that Great Qin King is here. If Great Qin King survives with the rest of you...the divines, devils, immortals, dragons, and nethers will wipe you out."

The five elemental and fate Invincibles blanked out slightly. They were still struggling to make a decision. If those outside were already aware of this, it wouldn't matter even if they were to help the humans and eliminate these people. They would be in big trouble after leaving the mansion.

Could the people inside the mansion contact those outside? Yes. The simplest method was through the ignition of their blood essence. This had been done before. Was someone doing that now? Nobody knew. Perhaps this was an empty threat. Perhaps this was true. But it was working. They started wavering.

In truth, there wasn't even a need for them to join the fight. The sixteen Invincibles involved in the battle against Great Qin King were already strong enough to finish the job. Alone, not even Blood Fire Devil King could defeat Great Qin King.

But Great Qin King couldn't defeat sixteen of them. If he was strong enough to defeat all sixteen of them alone, humanity would have broken free of their suppression by the myriad races long ago.

Great Qin King continued swinging his spear without saying anything.

"Kill!"

Great Qin King knew that this wasn't the time for him to take it slow. He had to attack with all the ferocity he could muster. He must plant fear and awe in their minds. That was his sole path of survival.

He was surprisingly decisive. While allowing the attacks of Blood Fire Devil King and Lightning Divine King to land on him, he swept his spear out, breaking a River of Time before bringing the spear back and stabbing through a devil king.

Splurt!

The devil king exploded before regenerating with one less body. Fear covered his face. As for Great Qin King, he groaned and took on more attacks before sending his spear out with a roar. Once again, he destroyed a tri-life body of the same devil king. Then, he charged forth and sent a divine king flying with a punch before arriving before the same devil king. With yet another roar, he grabbed the devil king with both hands and ripped the devil king apart.

Blood rained down from the sky.

Thick crimson clouds gathered in the sky.

Boom!

The entire world rumbled, signifying the death of the second Invincible in Great Qin King's hands. The back of Great Qin King was already thoroughly charred due to the attacks of Lightning Divine King. His entire arm was bruised and bloodied, thanks to the attack from Blood Fire Devil King that had nearly chopped his arm off.

He was also carrying various other wounds on his body. He was fighting with his life on the line right from the start.

He was the mighty Great Qin King, but he was no Daofuse. He wouldn't be unrivaled even if he was a Daofuse. As a mere ninth-degree Eternal, he had killed two Invincibles instantly even when he was facing a superior number of Invincibles.

"How many of you are prepared to die today?"

He repeated his question, his voice slamming into the minds of his opponents. Fear flickered on the faces of his opponents, but they braced themselves and roared madly before charging him again.

They might die facing him. But they might also die not facing him. Just by showing up here, Great Qin King had turned this into a battle to the death. There was no other alternative. The deaths of two Invincibles only served to convince them the importance of killing Great Qin King.

Meanwhile, the humans were finally occupying the upper hand. Xia Longwu and the others were attacking madly. They were anxious. They were afraid that Great Qin King would be in trouble even if they could win here.

The three immortal kings resisted the attacks coldly and calmly. Suddenly, they roared and started shining brightly. At that, their strength increased rapidly. They had all ignited their blood essence.

They knew that they would not receive any help here. Great Qin King was the main target of all the other Invincibles. They only needed to last longer. Victory would be theirs after Great Qin King was defeated. They only needed to keep the human Invincibles busy.

The three immortal kings had joined hands to face the four human Invincibles. Not one of the human Invincibles could break free as the three immortal kings were doing their best to keep the human Invincibles occupied.

Xing Yue, who was leading several death sovereigns, was just about to interfere when the Heaven Department head appeared before her with a sigh. "Since the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion is staying out of this, I suggest the death spirits do the same."

Furious, Xing Yue roared, "Kill!"

They attacked together, but the Heaven Department head was able to handle them without much difficulty.

In terms of cultivation level alone, him, Great Qin King, and Blood Fire Devil King were similar. Thus, he was more than enough to handle four death sovereigns. As for Great Qin King, a new death sovereign had appeared nearby.

This time, he wasn't given the chance to send the death sovereign flying. While the death sovereign was still confused, the previous death sovereign flew over and updated him. Then, the two death sovereigns moved away and focused on Great Qin King instead of attacking any other Invincibles.

They had been instructed by the heavenly laws to kill Great Qin King. Thus, they were waiting for an opportunity to do so. It would not matter even if Great Qin King had the strength to kill sixteen Invincibles as that would only be replaced by sixteen death sovereigns ordered to kill him.

This was a bitter battle.

A bloodied spear kept sweeping through the area.

With his hair whipping about wildly and his bloodied body, Great Qin King swung his spear yet again, shattering space and destroying the tri-life body of a divine king. The divine king retreated promptly, allowing someone else to take his place. In the blink of an eye, more wounds were left on Great Qin King's body.

"Father!"

Qin Zhen's mournful wail rang out in the air, but he was too weak to do anything. He couldn't even break free from his current opponents.

After losing one body, his remaining bodies had been greatly injured. He was no longer capable of doing much against these Invincibles. With the three immortal kings fighting with all their strength, it wouldn't be easy for the human Invincibles to break free.

After all, Invincibles were notoriously hard to kill, especially when the gap in strength wasn't that big. As for Lan Tian, he was kept busy by Heavencurse of the celestial chasm race.

Chapter 1494: Kill An Invincible (2)

Further away.

The Pseudo Invincibles capable of fighting Invincibles were gathered, such as people like September. These ferocious beasts could smell a feast of immortals ahead of them, but they resisted the temptation to do anything.

Why? Because they couldn't.

They had thought that they could act freely here. They had thought that they had nothing to fear. They had thought that killing an immortal king here and there was no big deal. But that was not applicable here.

This was a battle that would decide the fate of numerous Invincibles. If they involved themselves, they might implicate their own races as well. The major races were still an insurmountable mountain for their races.

Even now, the divines, devils, and immortals were still keeping plenty of theit trump cards hidden. The humans were unaware of this, but the ancient races knew this well. In any case, nobody wanted to see humanity rise again.

Thus, they couldn't act. They had to endure their hunger. They had to suppress their desires. They didn't want to fight the humans, but they couldn't fight the other races. No secret could remain secret forever. They could not afford to truly offend the major races.

The major races still couldn't eliminate the human race, but that was not the case for the ancient races. Normally, they were unbothered to actually get serious about the ancient races. It wasn't that they couldn't do anything against the ancient races. Ultimately, they were still the rulers of this epoch.

September was no longer eating anything. Skyeater was sprawled lazily in the void. Not far away, Hollow was staring at the distant battle with flickering eyes. None of them dared to join the battle.

Great Qin King had arrived personally. Nobody had seen this happening. He was strong. He was ferocious. He had killed two Invincibles before anyone could react. But he wouldn't last until the very end.

Sixteen Invincibles.

Including the immortals, he had to face twenty Invincibles. Two were dead, leaving him with eighteen opponents. Fınd the newest release on novel·fiɾe·net

***

Frost Divine King was also fighting.

Inside the Illusory Heaven Mirror, Su Yu was greatly shocked.

Great Qin King!

Why was he here?

How could he be here?

Su Yu didn't know how to feel about this. He only knew that Great Qin King shouldn't be here.

Great Qin King was unlike the others. Su Yu had nothing holding him back. Xia Longwu and the others were not important enough for their deaths to be a massive loss for humanity. Not even Great Zhou King was that important. He was important enough to cause humanity great grief at his passing, but humanity would not despair at his passing.

However, Great Qin King was the guardian of humanity. He alone had protected humanity for four hundred years. His death would trigger the return of the peace and surrender factions of humanity. Nobody was strong enough to suppress those voices.

Without Great Qin King, unless humanity could produce a Daofuse, nobody would have the ability to suppress all the dissenters in the human race.

"You shouldn't have come."

Perhaps...Great Qin King wanted to be here to consume the nine-leaf skylotus on the spot. That would help him achieve Daofuse and he would have nothing to fear after leaving the mansion.

Nobody, not even Great Zhou King, would be able to keep the skylotus after leaving the mansion. They would all be forced to use it in the mansion. Those outside would not allow anyone not from the divine, devil, or immortal races to leave with the skylotus. Thus, Great Qin King had come personally.

Su Yu sighed inwardly. He didn't know if this was the right thing to do. In truth, Great Qin King could have kept hiding. He could have waited until the last minute before snatching the skylotus. Alas, he had chosen to reveal himself in advance.

There was still an hour before the blooming of the skylotus. This was enough time for the Invincibles to finish the battle.

Too early.

How could the leader of humanity be so impatient?

How could the leader of humanity be so short-sighted?

How unwise of him.

"Dumbass. Just be patient. With your strength, you can sweep all competition aside with one swing of your spear. You will win."

Su Yu started complaining. How could he be so impatient? Great Qin King was too impatient to be a leader. But this...made him seem more...human. More alive. When humanity was at a disadvantage, when the death spirits were here, when the various races were making a move against the humans...he had chosen to step forth.

He did not remain in hiding while waiting for the skylotus to bloom. He had picked Xia Longwu and the others over the nine-leaf skylotus. He had given up on the skylotus. Since he couldn't achieve Daofuse, he had picked to kill to his heart's content and die alongside his fellow humans.

He was too rash.

Boom!

A loud explosion woke Su Yu from his reverie. When he looked out, he saw the divine kings coughing blood and the devil kings roaring with fury.

A lone individual floated before them.

Great Qin King!

He was blood-soaked. But he looked incomparably heroic.

An individual was hanging from the tip of his spear. Suddenly, the tip of his spear shone brightly before detonating the individual apart.

An explosion.

And the final tri-life body of an Invincible.

Death arrived.

Boom!

More crimson clouds gathered in the sky. The third Invincible had fallen. A divine. And the third death sovereign arrived. At this point, the divines, devils, and immortals had each lost an Invincible.

A blade wound could be seen on Great Qin King's forehead. Blood was pouring out of the wound, and the wound refused to close. Su Yu did not know how Great Qin King had sustained this cut, but he could see that it had nearly shaved Great Qin King's scalp off.

"Three!"

Great Qin King declared with a grin. Three. How many more? He didn't know. He was surrounded by fourteen Invincibles and three death sovereigns. Even after killing multiple enemies, he was still surrounded by the same number of enemies.

However, he did not care about the death spirits. It was pointless to focus on them.

A death sovereign spoke, "Great Qin King, pay an appropriate price useful for death spirits and we will leave."

Great Qin King ignored the offer. He couldn't afford the price.

That was understandable. This was a price not even Su Yu could afford...no, that wasn't true. Su Yu had a life death fruit. It could buy the departure of one death sovereign, but that would be completely pointless.

Blood Fire Devil King, who was carrying numerous wounds as well, said, "Death sovereigns are capable of thought as well. You understand how strong Great Qin King is. You should join hands with us and kill him. By completing your mission, you will be rewarded by the heavenly laws. We will also achieve our goal of defeating the human race. This is a cooperation that can benefit all of us."

A cooperation.

Without the help of the death sovereigns, they would lose even more before killing Great Qin King. He might be heavily injured, but he was still at his peak strength. They would probably lose seven or eight more Invincibles before they could do anything of impact to him.

The divines and devils stuck together. Separating would only allow Great Qin King to eliminate them separately. That would be too risky.

As Invincibles, none of them was stupid. They could only fight it out. They could only seek survival amid death.

"He's injured."

Su Yu could see that the heaviest injury on Great Qin King was not the wound on his forehead. Rather, it was the flaming palm on his chest left by the Blood Fire Devil King. That wound was constantly burning his life force, source qi, and flesh.

Great Qin King was strong, but he was facing too many opponents.

Further away, Lan Tian was wailing while attacking, forcing Heavencurse to retreat again and again. However, Lan Tian was unable to do enough to break free.

Xing Yue and the death sovereigns were blocked by the Heaven Department head.

Slowly, Su Yu's eyes turned cold.

Qin Zhen and the other human Invincibles were on the verge of losing their minds. However, that was also the case for the three immortal kings. They were fighting madly while igniting their blood essence.

Su Yu looked around. Before long, he noticed a Sunmoon death spirit roaming near the battlefield. He could feel Xing Yue's aura on that death spirit. Clearly, the Invincible blood essence was being stored on that death spirit. But...was he strong enough to withstand the power of Invincibles?

"Perhaps...I can find a chance to kill an Invincible and use the reward to complete my third transformation before consuming the blood essence."

After his third transformation, he would have the strength of 5.8 million acupoints. With his yang acupoint, he could surpass 10 million acupoints. Would that be enough to withstand the power of Invincible blood essence? Even if it wasn't, it would be enough to push him to the level of a Pseudo Invincible.

"Kill an Invincible and complete my third transformation. This would only work if I could get the entire credit for the kill. Right, the celestial chasm Invincible. I can get a complete reward by killing him."

A complete reward would be more reliable.

Right, there was also Old Zhou.

"Old Zhou! Frost Divine King is too busy fighting to care about me. I can first snatch control over this weapon and fool his perception. Then, I can capture Yu Sheng and the others without killing them. After that, I can start planning my departure..."

It did not take Su Yu long to make up his mind. Was this worth it? He didn't know. But he didn't care.

He did not care about the human race. He only wanted a safe home for his father. He only wanted peace for his teachers. He only wanted that spear to continue standing tall at the Eastrift Valley.

Perhaps he was wrong. But he believed this was the right thing to do. What was the purpose of life? To be at peace with himself.

And thus, Su Yu made a decision.

He consumed a drop of Pseudo Invincible blood essence. His willpower covered all 109 golden stripes of the heaven weapon. The strand of Frost Divine King's willpower in the weapon was instantly covered. This wouldn't work at any other time, but Frost Divine King was too busy to notice right now.

This was the window Su Yu had been waiting for. Perhaps his appearance wouldn't change anything. But he would do what he should do. Yu Sheng remained clueless even as Su Yu was doing all that. He was not a weaponsmith. It had never crossed his mind that Frost Divine King would lose control over his weapon before he was dead.

Zhan Wushuang, who was focusing on the battle outside, started looking around as something was starting to feel off. However, he couldn't find anything.

Chapter 1495: Kill An Invincible (3)

Su Yu waited.

He was creating the perfect opportunity to act.

Just then, an attack struck Frost Divine King, causing the entire Illusory Heaven Mirror to shake. Even those whose six senses were sealed were jolted awake. Some opened their eyes blankly while some exclaimed in alarm.

With a fearful expression, Su Yu yelled, "What is that?"

Everyone followed his gaze and noted a spatial crack not far away. It looked as though the Illusory Heaven Mirror was on the verge of shattering.

Yu Sheng was greatly alarmed.

The crack wasn't too far away from Su Yu. Noticing the crack, Yu Sheng flew over and said, "Calm down! This is a small matter. I'll deal with it..."

He could see that the crack wasn't too big. He was sure he could handle it. Zhan Wushuang was just about to fly over as well before the look in his eyes changed.

Danger.

A vague sense of crisis enveloped him, causing his entire scalp to turn numb. The sensation wasn't too strong, but it was clearly there. Something dangerous was awaiting him.

"Lord..."

Yu Sheng looked back upon hearing Zhan Wushuang's roar. Just then, Su Yu grinned.

Turns Out Famous Politicians Don't Mind Tasting These Delicacies Open

Thank you, Zhan Wushuang. Sure enough, Zhan Wushuang was a reliable partner to have. How kind of Zhan Wushuang to distract Yu Sheng for him. Thank the heavens for Zhan Wushuang.

Zhan Wushuang realized his mistake the moment his voice left his mouth. Alas, it was too late to salvage his mistake.

Boom!

With one punch, Su Yu blasted Yu Sheng's head apart. The attack had caught Yu Sheng by complete surprise. For some reason, Yu Sheng had not bothered to erect any defenses around himself. Even after repeated warnings by Zhan Wushuang, he had remained overconfident. And now, he was being punished for it.

That punch of Su Yu carried the strength of a Pseudo Invincible. It was the strength he had extracted from Yang Hu, a Pseudo Invincible of considerable strength. Yu Sheng stood no chance, especially since his defenses were wide open. Instantly, he lost a tri-life body.

Yu Sheng was someone with only the past and present bodies. With his present body killed, a weaker version of him, his past body, appeared. The body was greeted by Su Yu's palm. With one slap, the past body was smashed apart, replaced by a carrier treasure.

After grabbing the carrier treasure, Su Yu released his book. The massive book covered everyone, including Yu Sheng's sea of willpower. Then, Yu Sheng's sea of willpower was dragged into the book and suppressed.

Everything had happened too quickly. Everyone had only heard Zhan Wushuang's shout before all of them were covered by a gigantic book. Zhan Wushuang's expression changed drastically.

He muttered helplessly, "I knew it! You would either be here or somewhere among the immortals..."

It was far likelier for Su Yu to be among them. After all, most of the immortal geniuses had died. It wouldn't be too easy for him to hide among them. The immortal kings might be willing to sacrifice the few survivors just to kill Su Yu. Thus, the divine race was his perfect choice. There were too many divine survivors left. The divine kings wouldn't be killing to kill everyone just to eliminate Su Yu. After all, many of these people were the descendants of various Invincibles.

Countless Sunmoon projections appeared before dragging everyone into the book. He kept them all suppressed instead of killing them. After all, he did not want to spawn more death spirits and attract undue attention before he was ready.

There were several late-stage Sunmoons among the divines. Su Yu opted to deal with them personally. They were completely helpless against his punches.

Seeing what was happening, Zhan Wushuang inhaled deeply and said, "We surrender. Is this enough to preserve our lives?"

"You don't have anything you can bargain with."

Su Yu did not fear Zhan Wushuang, even if Zhan Wushuang could potentially borrow the power of an Invincible through Invincible blood essence.

Even someone like Mo Duona could barely match a Pseudo Invincible after doing so. It was unlikely that Zhan Wushuang would be able to do better than Mo Duona, not when he didn't even have Tiangu's blood essence.

Zhan Wushuang said bitterly, "I understand that. But killing us...won't benefit you. It will only expose you earlier. You might find us useful. I only hope that you can preserve their lives in exchange for our service..."

Su Yu asked, "Are you entering my book yourself or do you want me to destroy your body again?"

He was not in the mood to say more. Zhan Wushuang glanced outside and saw that Great Qin King was coughing blood. Great Qin King was near his limit. There were simply too many enemies.

Zhan Wushuang knew the reason for Su Yu to act now. Su Yu had lost his patience. With a sigh, Zhan Wushuang stepped into the book. Instantly, more than ten Sunmoon projections appeared around him to suppress him.

With this, the Illusory Heaven Mirror was cleared of everyone except himself.

The Mark of Civilization was trembling slightly.

It was struggling to suppress all those experts inside.

Meanwhile, Su Yu continued waiting.

The best moment to act had yet to arrive.

He was waiting for Great Qin King to attack Frost Divine King. He removed his Culture Tomb and opened his sea of willpower.

"Kill Frost Divine King! Great Qin King! Kill Frost Divine King!"

***

Outside, Great Qin King was coughing blood as even his River of Time started turning unstable.

Suddenly, a faint voice rang out in his mind.

Kill Frost Divine King!

At the same time, Frost Divine King's heart palpitated weakly, alarming him.

No matter what, Frost Divine King was an Invincible. Even with his characters, Su Yu couldn't fully hide his thoughts from Frost Divine King. After all, he was still hiding inside Frost Divine King's weapon.

Kill Frost Divine King!

Great Qin King!

Suddenly, Great Qin King smiled. His smile was a lot less stiff than before.

Human. Such was humanity.

2 h 37 min Woman Put Iodine on Her Heels. You Wouldn't Believe What Happened More 328179137

One could reject being a human. One could say all sorts of things. But when it mattered, they would show up. One after another.

Lan Tian, Su Yu, Wan Tiansheng...

They simply couldn't help themselves.

Wan Tiansheng had taught Su Yu to be more selfish. However, he himself had transformed into the sinner of humanity.

"Kill Frost Divine King!"

While smiling, Great Qin King roared. Instantly, the sky changed color.

"Die!"

"Skybreak!"

A spear shot into the sky. It was heading straight toward Frost Divine King.

Instantly, Frost Divine King's attention was pulled back to Great Qin King. Nobody could afford to be distracted when facing Great Qin King.

"Stop him!" Frost Divine King roared.

Blood Fire Devil King, Lightning Divine King, and the others attacked. The devils attacked from Great Qin King's back while the divines focused on the spear.

The devils were merely trying to take this chance to further injure Great Qin King while the divines were trying to save their Invincible from dying.

Boom!

A deafening explosion erupted. The spear stabbed through the various attacks before puncturing Frost Divine King's head. Next, Frost Divine King's body exploded. At the same time, Blood Fire Devil King struck Great Qin King, blasting his flesh apart to reveal his bones.

Great Qin King ignored the attack and attempted to launch another attack. Since the kid was telling him to kill Frost Divine King, he would oblige. He decided to show the kid just how sharp the spear of Qin was.

Just as he was about to send his spear out again...a rumble rang out. A mirror on Frost Divine King's body had exploded out of nowhere. That was a heaven weapon. Right after recovering from the death of his tri-life body, Frost Divine King lost another body to the explosion.

When his third body appeared, a silhouette appeared beside him and roared, "Die!"

With a roar, Su Yu mustered all his strength with the Grand Cycle Method, activated the Sky Sundering Saber, pushed his 360 acupoints to their limits, and opened his yang acupoint fully.

He attacked with his palm, using it as a blade. This was the strongest blade attack he had ever launched. He further powered the attack with his characters. Even his blood essence was burning.

Boom!

It was not comparable to the spear of Qin in terms of power. Yet it was incomparably bright. In the distance, Xia Longwu's saber resonated with it and hummed.

Boom!

The attack dropped down.

Right after launching the attack, Su Yu fled without turning to look at the result. Frost Divine King was already heavily injured. Thus, he had been hiding behind the other Invincibles. This gave Su Yu the opportunity to flee right after attacking. The other Invincibles attempted to give chase, but they were all forced to stay by Great Qin King's spear. They could only watch as Su Yu's attack sliced Frost Divine King's third body apart. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel•fire.net

Boom!

The third body exploded.

Crimson clouds covered the sky.

Frost Divine King was dead.

A death sovereign appeared. At the same time, a shining, golden cloud appeared above Su Yu.

"Su Yu!"

"Su Yu!"

"It's you!"

"It's him!"

Numerous people exclaimed in shock. This was the fifth Invincible to die today.

Lan Tian had killed one with the assistance of the death spirits. Great Qin King had killed three. And Su Yu had killed one. Naturally, he had stolen the kill like Lan Tian. He had relied on the explosion of the heaven weapon to kill the second body before taking the chance to kill the third body.

Nevertheless, this was still the youngest and weakest cultivator to have ever killed an Invincible. It was a success.

The humans and other races were stunned from sheer shock. Blood rain started falling from the crimson clouds above.

Su Yu was really here.

He had even killed an Invincible.

This was unbelievable. This was unimaginable.

Great Qin King was greatly shocked as well. But soon, he recovered and laughed, "Well done! Well done! Well done!"

His laugh wasn't too stiff, but it sounded somewhat...helpless. It was over. The dumb kid had still shown himself. Yes, Frost Divine King was dead. But it did not improve the situation they were in much.

Meanwhile, a death sovereign was chasing after Su Yu in excitement. This was the newly arrived death sovereign. Right after arriving, he had noted the peculiar atmosphere. Upon learning more from the three death sovereigns who had arrived before him, he laughed in excitement.

Fuck yeah!

All his companions had been ordered to kill Great Qin King while he was only tasked to kill a weakling. What an easy mission.

This felt great!

Far away, Su Yu was absorbing his heavenly reward indifferently. As for the death sovereign, he would drag it out first. He had the life death fruit. That shouldn't be too difficult.

Naturally, there was no promise that he would really hand the fruit to the death sovereign.
