Chapter 110 - 110

Chapter 1496: Complications (1)

Three of the Invincibles attacking Great Qin King had died. Two divines and one devil. He was still surrounded by thirteen living Invincibles while Xia Longwu and the others were facing three. Five Invincibles had died in total.

With the appearance of Great Qin King, Lan Tian, and Su Yu, the top experts from three different generations had revealed themselves. One could say that Su Yu was the most extreme version of the top expert from his generation. In his generation, he was practically unrivalled.

Far away, Su Yu remained indifferent.

He looked around and coldly said, "Are people like you really qualified to be called Invincibles?"

He was provoking them.

He was too arrogant.

His entire body was shining brightly as he absorbed the heavenly reward. Such a reward might not be too useful for Invincibles. But for Su Yu, it was extremely useful. There was one benefit to absorbing heavenly reward. It was easier to absorb, but it might also result in unstable cultivation since the absorption speed was too fast. That was of no concern to Su Yu.

A death sovereign was still charging toward him from afar. Even further away, Xing Yue was cursing inwardly. Fortunately, she hadn't started fighting. After all, she was still facing the Heaven Department head. If she was already fighting actively, she might end up dying due to Su Yu's absorption of her death qi.

Su Yu the freak.

He might have killed an Invincible through a series of circumstances instead of relying on his strength alone, but it was undeniable that he had killed an Invincible.

He had done it with his own hands.

Great Qin King had killed one of the tri-life bodies while he had killed the remaining tri-life bodies.

"Su Yu!"

The Invincibles continued roaring. The divines and immortals had each lost two out of their five Invincibles. As for the devils, they had lost one out of their seven Invincibles. Twelve Invincibles remained among them.

As for the dragons, nethers, and celestial chasms, there were four Invincibles among them.

If Great Qin King was still uninjured, this might still be a slightly winnable fight for the humans. Unfortunately, Great Qin King was already greatly injured and exhausted. He could still kill more Invincibles, but it would probably be at the cost of his own life.

"Yes? Why are you calling your grandpa?" Su Yu said, "Garbage. You need to thank me for this. Without me, how can you fight in peace? I removed a lot of your baggage for you."

At that, Lightning Divine King asked, "Did you kill Wushuang and the others?"

"Nope."

Su Yu offered, "If the divines are willing to withdraw, I guarantee that I won't trouble the divines anymore. This will also be applicable to the other humans. If they dare to break the promise, I will turn against them. They will no longer know a day of peace. This is my promise. What do you think? If you agree, I'll release Zhan Wushuang and the others."

"Dream on!"

Lightning Divine King said, "Su Yu, you are dreaming."

"Stubborn fool." Su Yu said, "Fine. Let's see how many of you are prepared to die today."

There were sixteen enemy Invincibles left. This did not include the death sovereigns and some other living Invincibles, such as those from the five elemental race.

Su Yu did not bother to give the Heaven Department head any look. He didn't know what the department head was planning, but since the department head was keeping the death spirits occupied, Su Yu concluded that the department head was no friend of his as well.

"Su Yu, you're dead!" Lightning Divine King roared, "Kill!"

Boom!

He was trying to kill Great Qin King. With Great Qin King being so seriously injured, it would be stupid of them to waste more time on Su Yu instead of focusing on Great Qin King first. With Great Qin King dead, all the other humans here would die as well. As for Su Yu, the death sovereign would deal with him.

Before long, the death sovereign caught up with Su Yu.

At that moment, Su Yu roared, "He Tu, handle him for me!"

Outside the city, He Tu blanked out.

Yes, he knew Su Yu. But wasn't Su Yu a tad bit too arrogant here? Why was Su Yu ordering him around? Just because Su Yu had defeated his remnant will before? What nonsense was that?

He Tu decided to ignore Su Yu. Just then, he received a voice transmission from Su Yu, "He Tu, don't you want the ability to leave and enter the Death Realm freely? Were there 360 stars where you entered the mansion? Do you think you can still move through that place freely in the future? I don't think so. But I know how to activate those stars. If we join hands, you might be able to leave Grand Dream City freely as well."

He Tu ignored the offer. He was uninterested.

"He Tu, do you want to come back to life? To become a real, living being again? I can help you with that. You are familiar with death qi reversal, right? If you still have your past memories, you should understand that upon reaching a certain level of strength, I might be able to bring you back to life. Did you not consider this back then? Nowadays, I am the only person with 360 acupoints open in the Myriad Realms. I am the only person with the reversal technique. You might know it as well, but you're already dead. Can you still do it?"

He Tu trembled.

Nobody knew this.

But he knew.

Yes.

He knew the reversal technique. That was one of his trump cards back then. That was why he could lead the death spirits in a war against all living beings.

He had opened 360 acupoints. That was why he could do so.

But back then, he was alone.

That was no longer the case.

Su Yu!

Resurrection?

Yes. He knew it was possible. Back then, he tried doing the same. However, it was too dangerous. He failed his attempts, but that did not mean that it wasn't possible.

"He Tu, you know me best in the Myriad Realms. Nobody knows us. We are the same type of people. If I promise to resurrect you, nobody will believe me. But you will. Am I right?"

Su Yu ignored the death sovereign waiting nearby. He was focusing on He Tu. He was betting on He Tu's desire to return to life.

As for Xing Yue, she could keep the Heaven Department head busy for now. This would help in confusing the celestial chasm race as well. Perhaps they were starting to suspect him. However, Xing Yue was the one who had signed the oath with them, not He Tu. Furthermore, Xing Yue couldn't do much for now since he was absorbing Xing Yue's death qi.

He Tu's expression changed repeatedly.

Resurrection.

The look in his eyes turned complicated. Could Su Yu do it?

Perhaps. It was very dangerous. He knew because he had tried it himself. At the time, he had detonated several death spirits accidentally during the process. But he still believed that it was possible.

He was very familiar with the reversal technique. Thus, he found himself believing in Su Yu. Prior to this, he was unaware that Su Yu knew the reversal technique. But now, he finally understood. That was the source of Su Yu's confidence.

Hum!

Space rippled as the death sovereign near Su Yu started attacking. Su Yu was just about to take his life death fruit out when He Tu acted.

"Stop!" The mighty He Tu appeared before the death sovereign and said, "Fulai, he is mine."

Yes. His.

Su Yu exhaled in relief. Hopefully, this would keep the celestial chasm race confused. This might be the way to mislead them into believing that He Tu might be the reason for all the actions Xing Yue had taken thus far.

He couldn't let them believe that Xing Yue was the leader here. The exposure of his association with Xing Yue would make it far harder for him to deal with the celestial chasm race.

He Tu's appearance was perfect to dissolve the suspicion they might be feeling. Like Su Yu, He Tu had climbed the mansion from the first level. Meanwhile, Xing Yue had left through the death tunnel. Nobody would expect that Xing Yue was someone who had traveled all the way from Grandstar City to look for Su Yu here.

Not far away, Xing Yue was shaking with anger.

Sure enough!

Sure enough!

That bastard had dumped her! He had gotten together with He Tu! Sure enough, he was abandoning her because she was weaker than He Tu! He had gotten together with He Tu!

For the most part, death spirits were extremely hard to negotiate with. That was because most treasures were useless for them. They loved nothing more than killing. But Su Yu had tempted He Tu with the possibility of resurrection.

Because they were the same.

They had both opened 360 acupoints. They knew the reversal technique. Nobody knew Su Yu better than He Tu. Nobody knew how feasible it was except He Tu, even if it would be a dangerous process.

He couldn't allow Su Yu to die. Su Yu was the sole person capable of resurrecting death spirits in existence. There was no other individual with 360 acupoints open in existence. And even someone with 360 acupoints open might not necessarily be able to learn the reversal technique. Since He Tu was dead, he couldn't even impart the technique to anyone anymore.

"He Tu?"

The excited death sovereign finally calmed down. He was not as strong as He Tu.

He asked in surprise and fury, "He Tu! Why are you stopping me? I'm here because of the heavenly laws!"

How could He Tu stop him when he was here because of the heavenly laws?

He Tu gave a simple reply, "Fuck off. I can't do much to you now since you're here because of the laws. But when you return to the Death Realm, I will attack your kingdom and send you to eternal slumber. You will only receive a small punishment for disobeying the heavenly laws. But you will cease to exist if you disobey me." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveIＦire.net

Silence descended.

The death sovereign was furious, but he knew that he wasn't He Tu's match. He did not care about living Invincibles. At worst, he could run back to the Death Realm. But he didn't dare to cross a death sovereign lightly. He Tu was very powerful even in the Death Realm. Furthermore, he was someone with numerous allies.

At the same time, numerous people blanked out.

He Tu.

Chapter 1497: Complications (2)

Since the start, people had been claiming that He Tu had arrived with a powerful subordinate. Some guessed that the so-called subordinate was Su Yu. And now, that was proven to be the case.

Sure enough, Su Yu was the reason for He Tu to be here. These two had been misleading everyone, but they had colluded with each other long ago.

Damn it!

Understanding dawned on everyone, including Great Qin King. Nobody suspected Xing Yue. As far as they were concerned, Xing Yue was merely one of the local death sovereigns. He Tu and Dummy were the only ones who had arrived differently.

And now, Su Yu had given them the answer.

After stopping Fulai, He Tu turned to face Su Yu and sent a voice transmission, "Su Yu, you killed my remnant will previously. And now, you owe me one more favor."

Su Yu cupped his fists and replied, "I don't have any other way to repay you. But I promise to convert you after becoming an Invincible. I can't guarantee success, but I will try my best. However, it will be hard since you're too strong. You were near Daofuse before your death."

He Tu sank into thought.

Behind him, Fulai was still raging. He had the urge to kill He Tu while He Tu was distracted. But...would he succeed?

Fulai was furious.

Meanwhile, the other Invincibles were feeling terrible. While attacking Great Qin King, Blood Fire Devil King said, "He Tu, you are disobeying the heavenly laws by protecting a living being. Be careful lest the laws punish you."

Heavenly laws. Nothing was scarier than the heavenly laws. However, He Tu didn't even deign to give a reply.

Instead, he looked at Great Qin King. Seeing that Su Yu was fine, Great Qin King continued fighting madly. Even with his heavy injuries, he was still able to keep his opponents suppressed.

The Invincibles fighting him kept leaving small wounds on his body. Whenever he attacked someone, the others would attack together. As time passed, Great Qin King's injuries grew heavier and heavier.

Elsewhere, Heavencurse was being suppressed by Lan Tian. Even Xia Longwu and the others were also holding a slight advantage over their opponents. However, none of that mattered.

Great Qin King was the key here.

With He Tu around to protect him, Su Yu looked at the Heaven Department head and said, "Department Head, you can have the skylotus. We can withdraw from the competition."

The department head stayed silent.

Su Yu asked again, "What else do you want? Carrier treasures? Something else? Tell me. I will naturally satisfy you if I can. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion might be strong, but are you really ready to align against the human race?"

Finally, the Heaven Department head spoke, "I don't need much. I only need the inheritance of the Time Sage."

"..."

Su Yu laughed, "You jest, Department Head."

"No, I'm not." The Heaven Department head said, "This isn't my personal request. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion requires this inheritance. The Heavenly Overseer Marquis requires it. Su Yu, that was why I invited you to join the pavilion previously. Hand over the inheritance and I will handle Blood Fire Devil King for you. This is my promise. I won't take it for nothing. You will receive a fair bargain. This is how the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion operates."

"What if I disagree or say that I don't have it?"

The Heaven Department head replied, "I will only do what I should do. It doesn't matter what the human race intends to do after this. It won't be easy for the human race to kill me either."

"You are already doing something that will make an enemy out of humanity." The Heaven Department head said, "Not at all. The living live by a set of rules. The dead obey their own set of rules. I am merely following the rules."

Su Yu had nothing else to say. But he wouldn't forget this anytime soon.

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had not attacked Great Qin King, but the department head had stopped the death sovereigns from attacking the immortals. There was a low possibility that the department head was an immortal. Or perhaps the department head was simply trying to keep the humans in check.

But he could also be doing this for either the skylotus or Time Sage's inheritance. Why did the department head not attack Su Yu? The reason was unknown.

Su Yu sent He Tu a voice transmission, "Can you kill this guy with the help of Xing Yue and the others?"

He Tu replied, "Stop dreaming. I won't fight for you. I'm only here to protect you. Don't forget your promise or I'll dig you out from the Celestial River of Death to punish you even after you die. Don't even dream of using me as a tool."

"Don't death spirits enjoy killing?"

"Yes, but I won't allow myself to become your tool. Su Yu, I already tried this trick a hundred thousand years ago."

"..."

Fine, fine. Su Yu had neglected the fact that he was facing a veteran in fooling death spirits. Just then, his body shook slightly. He had completed his third transformation. However, his body still needed some time to fully digest the transformation.

Sure enough, one could benefit a lot from killing an Invincible. Unfortunately, it was still not enough. His body needed more time to stabilize from the recently completed transformation.

Meanwhile, things were becoming more and more desperate for Great Qin King. Just as Su Yu looked over, he saw a divine king stabbing through Great Qin King's chest. His spear was already broken. Using half the spear as a stick, he smashed the divine king apart. After losing a tri-life body, the divine king hurriedly fled. Despite his loss, he appeared joyful.

Great Qin King was on the verge of being forced to split into three. The moment that happened, his combat strength would drop significantly. Even if each body was as strong as a seventh or eighth degree Eternal, he would still be too weak to resist them.

His death was near.

"Roar!"

Not far away, Xia Longwu swung his saber with a roar, severing the head of his opponent. However, that gave his opponent the chance to land a punch on his body. With a mad roar, Xia Longwu threw a punch and detonated a character to confuse his opponent. Then, he destroyed yet another body of his opponent at the cost of a tri-life body. A carrier treasure dropped down from the sky.

With one body as the price, he destroyed two of his opponent's bodies. Then, he charged the Invincible with only one body left alongside Qin Zhen. All around him, his companions were also fighting their respective opponents intensely.

They were fighting with all their strength. Unfortunately, it was not enough. The battle would not end anytime soon.

Su Yu wasted no time and consumed a drop of blood essence before throwing a punch.

Heavencurse was his target.

He had decided to first kill Heavencurse.

The moment he did that, an incomparably powerful individual appeared before him. Thus far, three Invincibles had yet to join the battle. They were respectively the Invincibles of the fate, five elemental, and phoenix races.

Finally, the gorgeous female Invincible of the phoenix race stepped in. She gazed at Su Yu indifferently and said, "The phoenix race does not wish to interfere in the battle between the various races. However, the human race has caused nine epochal wars. Because of all the wars, the phoenix race has declined significantly from its past as a major race. Su Yu, the death of Great Qin King will benefit everyone."

He Tu was right beside Su Yu, but he did nothing. The phoenix Invincible seemed to have noticed that He Tu would only protect Su Yu but not fight for him. That was why the phoenix Invincible felt confident enough to interfere.

Su Yu coldly asked, "The phoenix race has stayed neutral until now. Must you involve yourself? Do you want to be the cause of your race's extinction?"

The phoenix said, "Su Yu, you know what we're afraid of. Divines, immortals, or even Daofuses will need to pay the price for invading the Phoenix Realm. Our Emperor will have the ability to resist or even kill the invader. But this is not applicable to the humans."

The moment humanity produced a Pseudo Emperor, they could attack the various realms with no fear due to their immunity toward the suppressive force.

Su Yu exhaled and smiled, "True. The human race is the biggest threat of the myriad races. Thus, humanity is the enemy of all races."

"It's good that you understand."

The phoenix said, "We don't wish to offend the human race if possible, but at times, we are merely victims of circumstances. None of us is at fault. If the human race isn't immune to the suppressive force, we won't interfere in this."

Those words were pointless. It wasn't like Su Yu or any other human could change that. That was a result of the ancient laws.

Yes. Laws.

Su Yu had finally understood that the so-called suppressive force was also a result of the heavenly laws. It was unknown if there was such a force in the Human Realm. To change this, one had two options to reactivate the suppressive force.

Firstly, one must surpass the laws.

Secondly, one could use a unique method to activate it, such as producing a cultural researcher Invincible.

Su Yu had not imagined that his appearance would force the phoenix race to interfere as well. Sure, the phoenix Invincible wasn't attacking him, but that was due to He Tu. it was clear that the phoenix was not going to let Su Yu interfere in the ongoing battle. Only the Invincibles of the fate and five elemental races had yet to do anything.

Su Yu didn't know what their plan was. Thus, he forgot about them and shouted, "Hollow, I have Yellow Nine in my hands. Kill an Invincible for me and you can get Yellow Nine. I will also give up on the Culture Tomb. You will be allowed to keep it."

A faint voice rang out, "Su Yu, why must you do this? We both know who she is. What's the point of threatening me with her?"

Su Yu said, "Sure. Ignore her. Fight for me once and I'll consider our scores about the Culture Tomb settled. Otherwise, you will never be able to activate it. I will never tell you the activation method."

"I'm only a Pseudo Invincible..."

Hollow argued, "This isn't right."

Su Yu frowned and said, "Fine. I won't force you. Just kill some Pseudo Invincibles and you can keep the Culture Tomb. That should be easy for you, right?"

Were there more surviving Pseudo Invincibles on the seventh level? Yes. However, they were far less conspicuous than the Invincibles. At the moment, they were fighting Cheng Mo and the other human Pseudo Invincibles. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel✦fire.net

"Pseudo Invincibles?"

Hollow asked, "Will you really teach me how to activate the Culture Tomb for that?"

Su Yu said, "I swear upon the laws to tell you what I know about the Culture Tomb with my life as the price for breaking this oath. Of course, you can't blame me if you fail to activate the Culture Tomb even after learning what I know. Just accept that it doesn't suit you if that's the case."

Inwardly, Su Yu thought to himself that he would tell Hollow everything, including the fact that the Culture Tomb in Hollow's hands was fake. Why had Hollow failed to activate it? Because the real Culture Tomb was still in Su Yu's hands. That was all.

Chapter 1498: Complications (3)

An Invincible threatened, "Hollow, you dare?"

"No, I don't..."

Hollow laughed. Suddenly, space rippled as a distant Pseudo Invincible who was fighting Cheng Mo vanished into nothingness. Elsewhere, the air rippled as a coffin lid shot out of thin air.

Boom!

After slamming the coffin lid onto the Pseudo Invincible dozens of times, the Pseudo Invincibles died. Since the kill had been performed outside the residence, it did not spawn the appearance of a death spirit.

Nevertheless, a death sovereign still charged over to capture Hollow. However, Hollow was able to retreat before the death sovereign arrived.

As someone specializing in space, he wasn't someone who could be captured so easily.

Hollow's voice rang out again, "Su Yu, I trust you. Please keep your words. LA Pseudo Invincible has been killed."

He was very strong. He was able to transfer a Pseudo Invincible outside the residence before killing the said Pseudo Invincible. Everything had happened in the blink of an eye. Not even a death sovereign could stop him from leaving after that.

Su Yu glanced at Great Qin King and gnashed his teeth before sending Xing Yue a voice transmission, "I'll provide support to the humans later. Get the celestial chasm Invincible to kill me."

Xing Yue did not reply.

After taking a moment to brace himself, Su Yu charged in Great Qin King's direction. A group of Invincibles awaited him there. Any carelessness would result in his death. However, he was the only person capable of helping Great Qin King now. Great Qin King could not be allowed to die.

Su Yu was placing all his hope on the celestial chasm Invincible. Thanks to the oath, the celestial chasm Invincible would have no choice but to do so. If he refused to cooperate, he would die to the heavenly laws. But if he were to attack Su Yu, he would still die to the heavenly laws.

Naturally, it would also take a little bit of time for the heavenly laws to act. Su Yu looked at the distant Source Return Blade. That blade was the manifestation of the heavenly laws. He wondered if the blade could expedite the punishment of the heavenly laws.

Previously, the heavenly laws had taken a long time gathering power to kill Empyrean Cloud. That gave the various Pseudo Emperors the chance to stop the punishment. Would the heavenly laws continue manifesting in the form of lightning tribulation here? Or would the laws utilize the Source Return Blade instead?

Su Yu was unsure. He sent He Tu a voice transmission, "Lord He Tu, would one face the lightning tribulation or the Source Return Blade here when breaking the heavenly laws?"

"How am I supposed to know?" He Tu replied, "I don't remember."

Fuck!

What an unreliable guy.

Fine, fine. Whatever.

At worst, Su Yu would shout Tai Shan's name and wake Old Zhou up again. That would be his final trump card.

He decided to shout Tai Shan's name nonstop if the heavenly laws decided to go slow and manifest another lightning tribulation instead of utilizing the Source Return Blade here.

At the same time, a voice rang out in Spiritvenge's mind, "Kill Su Yu and snatch his Time Sage inheritance. Remember, take that book of his. We need it. It's very important."

Time Sage's inheritance?

Spiritvenge was greatly shocked. The Heaven Department head had spoken of the same thing earlier as well.

But...what was the relationship between these death spirits and Su Yu?

He asked, "What is your relationship with Su Yu?"

"He is related to He Tu. That is none of our business. He Tu is not part of our oath."

"..."

Spiritvenge hesitated. He was still feeling wary. Weren't death spirits supposed to be simple and stupid? They did not feel so simple anymore. Too many variables had appeared.

Suddenly, Spiritvenge's heart thumped.

A spear shot through his ear, and his blood sprayed out.

He was furious. How...how could he allow himself to be distracted while facing Great Qin King? That spear had nearly stabbed through his head.

Furious, he reached a decision. Since the oath had been established, he had to help the death spirits. Otherwise, he would be considered an oathbreaker by the heavenly laws. Following their request would also give him the chance to avoid Great Qin King for now. He was still slightly fearful of Great Qin King.

The divines and devils were determined to kill Great Qin King. He wanted to do so as well, but he wasn't strong enough. He would rather move away now. Great Qin King was at his most dangerous in his current state. He could very well drag a few more Invincibles down before dying.

Thus, he looked at the incoming Su Yu and shouted, "I'll kill him!"

The dragon and nether Invincibles nearby cursed inwardly. They wanted to do so as well, but the crafty celestial chasm had stolen the chance from them.

While charging toward Su Yu, Spiritvenge yelled, "Feng Ming, stop He Tu for me!"

Feng Ming was the phoenix Invincible. Hearing the request, she frowned. Then, she focused on the frowning He Tu. He Tu was looking at Su Yu with annoyance. What a troublemaker. Why was this guy so good at causing trouble? He Tu wasn't even sure he could keep protecting Su Yu in such a situation. Things were simply too dangerous.

"Celestial chasm race?" Su Yu roared in fury, raised his aura, and charged toward Spiritvenge while yelling, "Die! I will never stop before every last celestial chasm is dead!"

Just as Spiritvenge was about to attack, his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly retreated. Noticing that, Su Yu knew that things might get troublesome here. Not even Great Zhou King's calm character could keep Spiritvenge's danger sense calm anymore.

That was understandable since the calm character was still a fourth-tier character. It would work against Sunmoons, but not Invincibles. After all, it hadn't been able to completely calm Frost Divine King's senses earlier as well.

The moment Spiritvenge sensed the danger, he pulled back and vanished into the River of Time. After moving far away, he reappeared and stared at Su Yu with astonishment. What was going on?

He looked at Su Yu, at the death spirits, at He Tu, before looking back at Su Yu again. The look in his eyes turned odd as he sent a voice transmission to Heavencurse, "Is Su Yu related to any of the nine death sovereigns?"

Heavencurse, who was busy fighting Lan Tian, replied with surprise, "I doubt so..."

"You doubt? Give me a clear answer. Are they related?"

Spiritvenge was furious, "In the oath, there is a clause preventing us from attacking the subordinates of these death sovereigns. Su Yu is not a death spirit, but he is a subject of one death sovereign. However, our oath was signed with nine local death sovereigns. He is not a subject of any of them. But for some reason, I sensed death just as I was about to attack him."

How could Su Yu be related to the local death sovereigns? What nonsense was that? But his danger sense would not lie. The only possibility was that Su Yu's master was one of the nine death sovereigns who had signed the oath. But that...shouldn't be possible.

Su Yu had a history of transforming into a death spirit in Grandstar City. Was it possible that the death sovereign there had traveled all the way here? No. How was that possible? But...He Tu was from Grand Dream City. And he was here because of Su Yu as well. Would it be possible for Su Yu to bring another death sovereign here?

Spiritvenge did not dare to entertain this possibility. However, he couldn't deny that possibility anymore.

Su Yu was in collusion with more than He Tu. There was one more death sovereign. The death sovereign from Grandstar City. And that death sovereign was among the nine. Spiritvenge was furious. This...he had never imagined this. How could anyone see this coming? How terrifying. How inconceivable.

He was more and more certain that he was right.

Just then, an Invincible roared furiously, "Spiritvenge, do you think the humans will spare you just because you spared him? Someone from your race killed Ye Batian. Even if Great Qin King is willing to spare you, Su Yu will never spare you."

They all thought that Spiritvenge was doing this deliberately. Spiritvenge couldn't even explain himself.

He did not dare to admit that he had reached an agreement with the death spirits. Thus, he could only shout, "You guys can kill him! I'll kill Great Qin King..."

That was his sole option. Alas, due to their suspicions toward him, the other Invincibles would naturally not agree.

One of them demanded, "Kill Su Yu first!"

Nobody would trust him anymore. He could only prove his innocence by killing Su Yu. If he joined them before killing Su Yu, they might even turn against him. After all, he was too suspicious. Spiritvenge was furious. That was the best option. He had no way of killing Su Yu. Unfortunately, he couldn't reveal his agreement with the death spirits. The moment he revealed the agreement, everyone would try to kill him, including the death spirits.

"Damn it!"

While Spiritvenge was raging, Su Yu continued flying toward him with a grin, "Lord, stop messing around. Come on. Let's kill them all."

The furious Spiritvenge could only flee from the approaching Su Yu.

Fuck!

He clenched his teeth and charged toward Xia Longwu instead.

Fine, fine. So be it. This felt terrible.

The divines and devils were starting to suspect him. He couldn't kill Su Yu. In that case, he might as well kill Xia Longwu or a different human Invincible to clear his name. But before he even reached, the three immortal kings burned their blood essence even harder to force Xia Longwu and the other humans back before erecting defenses against Spiritvenge.

Seeing that the immortal kings were ready to self-detonate just to deal with him, Spiritvenge was further infuriated.

Fool!

Fine, fine. He decided to deal with Lan Tian instead. That should be enough to clear his name, right? He was fast enough to keep running away from Su Yu.

Just then, the doubtful Lan Tian giggled and said, "Heavencurse, are we actually allies? Is that it?"

He might be saying that, but he was fleeing rapidly.

Allies?

No. That little lunatic called Su Yu would rather work with the divines and devils than the celestial chasms. This was the race that had killed Ye Batian. Su Yu might not respect Ye Batian, but he wouldn't collude with the killers of his martial ancestor.

Unfortunately, Su Yu was not fast enough to keep up with Spiritvenge. He was furious as well. Why was this Invincible so fast? Why was this Invincible showing off his speed?

Then again, Su Yu had to admit that he had somehow reduced the pressure on Great Qin King. He had killed one before removing one from combat. With this, Great Qin King was only faced with twelve Invincibles. Yes. Only twelve.

Su Yu started cheering for Great Qin King inwardly. Just wait. He only needed to kill Spiritvenge, absorb some heavenly rewards, and consume some Invincible blood essence before he could kill the next Invincible. This was the best he could do.

Suddenly, Su Yu shouted, "Get over here, Lan Tian. This is a friend. Don't do anything rash."

"Sure."

While Lan Tian was flying toward Su Yu, both Spiritvenge and Heavencurse looked in the direction of the Heaven Department head. They had just realized something. The death sovereign leading the other death sovereigns...

Yes, that was the death sovereign who had converted Su Yu. Damn it! Su Yu was not only colluding with one or two death spirits. Rather, he was colluding with many of them. This drove Spiritvenge and Heavencurse mad. What now?

Just how did Su Yu convince his death sovereign to travel all the way here? That shouldn't be possible. They felt terrible. They would be punished for refusing their request. But killing or even hurting Su Yu would also result in a punishment from the heavenly laws.

What now?

They had also lost the trust of the others since they had refused to kill Su Yu. Everyone was suspicious, but they were too occupied to think too deeply about it. At this point, all of them would choose the safest option. Thus, they would no longer trust the two celestial chasms.

"Suppress Su Yu but don't harm him. I'll kill Lan Tian. That will be enough to prove our innocence."

Heavencurse's expression changed slightly upon hearing the plan. He gnashed his teeth and nodded in agreement.

So be it.

Su Yu was still not strong enough to kill them. He only needed to avoid harming Su Yu while suppressing Su Yu. And thus, the situation turned even more confusing for all the other Invincibles.

***

The five elemental Invincible was confused as well.

What was going on?

Spiritvenge and Heavencurse were chasing Lan Tian while Su Yu was chasing after them. At the same time, Lan Tian was moving in circles to reach Su Yu. The three were basically flying in circles. What game was this?

Had the celestial chasm race reached an agreement with the human race? Why would this be happening otherwise? They might not be able to kill Lan Tian, but they could easily destroy Lan Tian's clones. As for Su Yu, they should be able to kill him with a slap or two. Why were they doing this?

The five elemental Invincible and the fate Invincible were the only idle Invincibles. The Heaven Department head and the phoenix Invincible were both occupied as well.

The confused five elemental Invincible sent a voice transmission, "Topsoil Spirit, you told us to not make an enemy out of the humans. But now...it doesn't look like we have a chance. When the other races win, both me and that guy from the fate race will be the next to die. The fate race is too mysterious to die so easily. Thus, I'll probably be the first to die after the humans."

He could see that Great Qin King wouldn't last much longer. Googlᴇ search novel★fire.net

A few of the twelve Invincibles around Great Qin King had lost their tri-life bodies to him, but he had also been forced to split into three bodies. It was only a matter of time before his defeat arrived. Could anyone change this?

Yes. The Heaven Department head was strong enough to salvage the situation for the humans. Nobody else could do it. However, the Heaven Department head was on a standstill with the death sovereigns.

Inside the heaven weapon of the five elemental race, Topsoil Spirit's expression changed repeatedly.

Shortly after, he answered, "Wait. Keep watching for a bit. If Su Yu couldn't pull anythin goff, you are free to do what you want. But if Su Yu managed to kill the celestial chasms, make a move. Kill any Invincible you want, but help the humans. Make sure of that."

"Topsoil Spirit, are you really betting both our lives on Su Yu?"

He would definitely die if the humans were to lose even with his assistance. Naturally, a human victory would change everything.

"Just listen to me, Elder. I will never harm the five elemental race. We might be late, but we still need to choose the right side. Otherwise, we will all die. Trust me, Elder. Wait a bit. Don't do anything to harm the humans before Su Yu is dead."

Better late than never. This was Topsoil Spirit's stance. They might anger the other races, but the other races wouldn't declare war against the five elementals so easily either. It did not matter who the final victor would be.

They only needed to pick the right side. Topsoil Spirit believed that Su Yu would have other trump cards in hiding if he could kill the celestial chasm Invincible. Su Yu was not someone to be judged with common sense.

At the time, the five elementals could attack the immortals to do the humans a favor. Sure, that was a rather cheap favor, but it was better than offending the humans. The five elemental Invincible inhaled deeply and stopped talking.

He decided to take the gamble.

He would trust Topsoil Spirit once.

After all, Topsoil Spirit was the hope of their race. He was the sole person with a chance to repair the five elements and return them to their glory.

Topsoil Spirit was a lot more important to the five elementals than Zhan Wushuang or Mo Duona were to their races.

With this, Su Yu became the one to decide their next course of action.

Chapter 1499: Blooming Skylotus (1)

"Run?"

Seeing that the two celestial chasms were fleeing from him, Su Yu understood what they were thinking. He had to admit that they were quite sharp. But could they escape him? He wasn't even out of trump cards.

Before long, a sagely Lan Tian arrived. Su Yu did not know if this was Lan Tian's real body. With a pitiful expression, the sagely Lan Tian complained, "Little Su Yu, they're trying to kill me!"

Su Yu found himself developing a whole new sense of respect toward Lan Tian. How could he continue behaving like this in such a situation? Did he not see that Great Qin King was on the verge of dying?

Su Yu roared, "Great Qin King, hold on a little bit longer. The four of us will prepare for a bit before killing the immortals and helping you."

"..."

Great Qin King ignored him. The divines and devils ignored him as well. At this point, they already knew that it was unlikely for Su Yu to have a relationship with the celestial chasm race. However, they still needed to be wary.

Killing the immortals and helping Great Qin King? Sure. Keep waiting. Just then, Great Qin King's body started splitting into three.

All his opponents were overjoyed to see that. After paying the price of several Invincibles, they had finally forced Great Qin King to split apart.

It was time for Great Qin King to die.

***

While gasping for breath, the three bodies of Great Qin King stood with their backs against each other. He looked around with only slight melancholy without any signs of grief.

He was more disappointed than sad about his failure. Sure enough, one would not be able to achieve anything great if one was too rash. As the guardian of humanity, he shouldn't have been so brash. Alas, he was a human with emotions. There was no helping it.

He only felt guilty toward Old Zhou and Old Zhu. He had wasted the opportunity they had created for him. His death would bring humanity a massive disaster. He only hoped that they could hang in there.

He looked at Su Yu, at Lan Tian, and at the group of human Invincibles. Xia Longwu and the others were burning their blood essence and roaring as they attacked madly. However, they wouldn't be able to make it in time.

All three bodies of Great Qin King were gasping for breath.

One was clad in armor. This was the past Great Qin King when he personally led the human army against the myriad races.

Another was clad in armor. This was the present Great Qin King, a more experienced version who had been baptised by the flames of war.

The final body was old and gray-haired, clad in an old and scarred armor.

"Hu..."

He raised his spear and continued his fight. He felt as though he had been fighting for a lifetime.

From eighteen, he had led a life of endless wars, leading his friends and companions, eventually defeating the previous tyrant of humanity and eliminating the previous dynasty. Right after that, the myriad races arrived. Once again, he picked up his spear and led his friends to another round of war.

He had killed numerous people, both humans and non-humans. When could he stop killing? He didn't know. Perhaps today was the day. A general would not regret death after a lifetime of wars.

Too many people had advised him to proclaim himself Emperor. He had refused. He knew that he was lacking in more things than strength alone. He was not suited for this. He wasn't strict enough toward his people. He wasn't strong enough to suppress the myriad races. How could someone like that be an Emperor?

He knew what was happening in the Human Realm, but he was helpless. He knew about Fiery Sea's betrayal. He knew about the secret culprit. But he was unwilling to investigate as he feared that the result would create more grief.

As Great Qin King thought of his past, a baleful and bleak atmosphere enveloped him.

He was old.

And he was tired of war.

It was time for the youngsters to take over.

Su Yu...Lan Tian...Wan Tiansheng...Xia Longwu...

One name after another surfaced in his mind. Before dying, he had to make the biggest impact he could. He had to kill all these people for the survival of these future pillars of humanity.

"Die!"

With a roar, all three bodies attacked the same devil king. The expression of the targeted devil king changed drastically. Lightning Divine King and Blood Fire Devil King hurriedly interfered.

Great Qin King's spears moved ferociously while the devil king retreated madly. Suddenly, Great Qin King tossed his spears away. All three bodies spun around and grabbed Lightning Divine King. Ignoring Blood Fire Devil King's attacks, they released a beastial roar.

Boom!

Rip!

Lightning Divine King was torn apart. A River of Time appeared. Shortly after, another Lightning Divine King appeared afar. He was a seventh-degree Eternal. Even after losing a tri-life body, he could reappear elsewhere instead of reappearing at the same place to be killed again.

One of Great Qin King's bodies was greatly damaged by Blood Fire Devil King's attacks. Just as the Blood Fire Devil King was about to push on, a rumble erupted.

The explosion shook the entire Luminous Domain Mansion.

The aging Great Qin King had detonated himself.

Just to slow the Blood Fire Devil King for a moment.

With that bought moment, the two remaining bodies forcefully merged with each other before sending a blade out.

Yes. Blade.

Blade of Xia.

It felt as though the blade had been born from the world itself. However, it had actually arrived from Zhu Tianfang's body. It was the blade of Xia.

One of the trump cards Great Xia King had prepared for Great Qin King. However, it was supposed to be a last resort. Great Qin King was using it because he was out of options. It signified that he couldn't last much longer.

Boom!

The shining blade illuminated the world. The blade struck, killing Lightning Divine King's second body. With a roar, Great Qin King threw a punch toward Lightning Divine King's final body.

A River of Time collapsed as Lightning Divine King's final body was reduced to fine powder.

A rain of blood fell from the sky.

Lightning flickered in the sky.

The leader of the lightning divine race, the Lightning Divine King, had perished.

Shock rippled through the crowd.

Boundless shock.

A smile appeared on Great Qin King's tired face. Finally, that guy was dead. With one body as the price, he removed a seventh-degree Eternal. This was a worthy exchange. Since he was already forced out of his merged state, it wouldn't matter that much for him to lose his future body.

The divines would probably weep at this loss. Someone like Lightning Divine King would be important for any race. He was a seventh-degree Eternal. He was the sixth Invincible to die today.

Two immortals, three divines, and one devil...

Yes. The divines had lost three Invincibles thus far.

Only two pale divine kings remained. A realization hit them that they were in trouble. Or to be precise, their race was in trouble. They had lost three divine kings, with one of them being the leader of the lightning divine race.

***

At the same time.

Outside.

The world was shaking and a rain of blood was falling.

The expressions of various Invincibles were unsightly.

Six Invincibles.

Only a short time had passed since the death of the first immortal king. In less than half an hour, six Invincibles had perished.

"Who...is the killer?" Someone asked with a pale expression.

A devil king said, "Earlier, someone sent a blood essence transmission out. It's Great Qin King. Great Qin King of the human race. I don't know if this information is reliable."

Countless gazes landed on the human encampment. Great Zhou King and Great Xia King maintained their cold and indifferent expressions, but Great Xia King's heart was thumping.

This was very bad.

Something went wrong.

He could feel it. He could feel the activation of his strongest blade. At the moment of activation, Lightning Divine King had died.

Old Qin was the killer.

Great Xia King trembled. Yes. He was trembling.

Boundless regret welled within him. He shouldn't. He shouldn't have allowed Old Qin to go. This was very bad. The death of Old Qin would destroy the fragile unity humanity had. The moment the myriad races attacked, humanity would be in trouble.

"Damn it!"

Great Xia King roared inwardly. Damn it! Why? How did Great Qin King expose himself? Why did it happen so soon? Was the nine-leaf skylotus ready? Probably not. The estimated time for it to bloom had yet to arrive. Why did Great Qin King act so early?

Great Zhou King remained calm as he said indifferently, "What are you looking at? Do you trust the devils? Are you sure? Do you think we're unaware that Blood Fire Devil King is in the mansion as well? If you ask me, only Blood Fire Devil King and that department head are capable of killing Lightning Divine King in the mansion."

"Is that so?" Someone asked, "Are you sure that Qin Guang isn't in there?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right?"

"Hehe. If that's the case, things are about to get a lot more interesting."

"Won't that be a good thing for us?"

"Maybe...this whole thing is a lie."

Numerous Invincibles spoke up.

All of them carried a thick malice toward humanity. Content orıginally comes from novel[f]ire.net

Great Zhou King replied with the same indifference, "Yes, yes. Old Qin is in there. Are you prepared to attack the Human Realm while he's away?"

Great Zhou King paused, smiled, and continued, "Give it a try."

"Giving it a try? Sure."

Three Rivers of Time unfurled all the way to the eastern sector. Three powerful existences attacked together. Just as Great Xia King's heart thumped, the sky changed color.

A gigantic spear appeared in the sky. With boundless ferocity, it shot out.

A deafening rumble rang out.

A River of Time snapped.

A powerful individual appeared in the sky, spear in hand.

A tri-life body had been killed instantly.

The two remaining Rivers of Time vanished instantly.

Chapter 1500: Blooming Skylotus (2)

With a sneer, Great Zhou King said, "Fools."

Numerous cold gazes landed on the devil king who had spoken earlier.

That was especially true for the divine king who had just lost a body to Great Qin King. Yes. The victim of the spear attack was the white-haired divine king. He was a ninth-degree Eternal, a powerful ancient expert of the divine race. At the moment, he had an ashen expression.

Three ninth-degree Eternals had attacked at the same time to test humanity, but he had lost a body instantly.

"Bastard!"

The white-haired divine king was furious. Damn the devils!

Damn it!

It was understandable why they were tempted. Great Qin King's absence would be their best chance to eliminate humanity. Alas, Great Qin King was still around. A ninth-degree Eternal had lost a tri-life body before anyone could even react.

Great Qin King was still as strong as ever.

In fact, he seemed far stronger than expected. No ninth-degree Eternals would try attacking humanity with a tri-life body unless they were certain they could escape. Alas, they had made an error in judgment. Great Qin King? Screw that! Damn the devils!

The divines were furious. They had been elevated to the biggest loser in the mansion. They had lost three Eternals. With one being a seventh-degree Eternal.

Additionally, they had also lost the tri-life body of a ninth-degree Eternal. This was a massive loss. The losses of the divines had surpassed even that of the immortals. The immortals had lost only two immortal kings, and none of them was at the seventh degree.

The furious white-haired divine king glared at the devils coldly. Seven devil kings had entered the mansion, but only one had died so far. And Blood Fire Devil King was incredibly strong. Was he really in the mansion?

Nobody could make an accurate judgment.

Too many index holders in the mansion had died. The few remaining ones were too busy fighting to contact those outside. Furthermore, the mansion had stopped shaking violently for quite a while. Blood essence ignition of Invincibles was the sole communication option left for them.

But not even Invincibles were willing to ignite their blood essence lightly. That was usually something one would only do as a last resort.

They wouldn't ignite their blood essence unless it was something important, such as the appearance of Great Qin King. Alas, only the devils had received the message. Meanwhile, the other races were suspecting that this was a lie.

The devil king in question frowned. Was that information inaccurate? Unlikely. That was a message he had received from a devil king from his clan. There was no way the devil king would lie to him. Furthermore, they were related by blood. It would be a waste for that devil king to ignite his blood essence just to send some fake information out.

But that spear...nobody could deny its existence.

Why?

Two Great Qin Kings?

Which of them was the real Great Qin King?

The devil king could only stay silent. After all, he had caused a divine king to lose a tri-life body. He had earned the ire of the divines while the other races were growing suspicious of him.

He couldn't explain himself out of this. That spear alone was enough to prove that he was lying. Great Qin King was the only human capable of releasing such an attack.

***

Eastrift Valley.

The powerful figure in the sky coldly said, "Piss off from the eastern sector. This is not the place for you to strut around arrogantly."

Behind Great Qin King, a human Invincible appeared and said in astonishment, "Have they gone crazy? Why are they sending their tri-life bodies over with you here?"

Yes. The humans couldn't understand this.

Three ninth-degree Eternals were powerful enough that no human but Great Qin King could deal with them. But with Great Qin King around, it would be stupid of them to send only their tri-life bodies here.

Were they finding it fun to lose their tri-life bodies? Yes, they could recultivate the lost bodies, but it would be extremely expensive and time-consuming. Were they crazy?

Great Qin King couldn't be bothered to explain. With a wave of his hand, a carrier treasure appeared. He said, "Not bad. They came bearing treasures. This is a carrier treasure capable of bearing the body of a ninth-degree Eternal."

His tone turned cold as he said, "Just ignore those annoying bugs."

He then tossed the carrier treasure behind him and said, "Send it back to the Human Realm."

"Yes!"

A general appeared and looked at Great Qin King admiringly before starting his escort duty. He knew who the carrier treasure was meant for. It was meant for one of the three injured old human Invincibles. They lacked the ability to get new carrier treasures. Now, one had been delivered right into their hands.

"Old Qin, were they here just to deliver us this gift?" An Invincible asked jokingly.

Great Qin King said, "Who knows? It doesn't matter. However, looks like things are not going well at the Sea of Stars. Great Han King, Great Shang King, Great Tang King, and Great Song King. The four of you...and Wang Hu. Yes. Take him with you. He's good at time manipulation. Go to the Sea of Stars and back them up. That should be enough deterrance to prevent the others from trying anything stupid."

"All of us?"

Great Qin King said, "Very few humans have died this time. The other races must be feeling envious. Go and keep an eye there. Protect the human survivors when they leave the mansion. If the myriad races dare to try anything, split up and wait for my order. We will invade their realms and kill until they pull back from our people."

"Yes!"

The Invincibles did not protest. Since Great Qin King had a plan, they wouldn't mind following it. They had also received updates about the massive losses the various races had sustained.

For some reason, the humans were doing very well this time. Even now, they had not lost a single Invincible and Pseudo Invincible. There were also hundreds of survivors below the Invincible Realm. They left without wasting time.

After their departure, a human king looked around and said, "Old Qin, things are rather unstable right now. Should we call Old Zhu over?"

"No. Let him stay in Great Ming."

Great Qin King said, "That fellow is still sulking. Just let him be. These geezers are getting difficult as they grow older."

The other Invincibles laughed with amusement upon hearing that.

Someone asked, "Is he...really in the Human Realm? Don't lie, Old Qin. We're not stupid. I reckon he's trying to surpass you guys."

"Hahaha! I think so as well. Why are you covering for him, Old Qin?"

"Enough. It's not like Old Zhu has ever been willing to accept Old Qin's leadership. Why is a boorish guy like him complaining that Old Qin and Old Xia are barbarians?"

Then, the various Invincibles dispersed while laughing with amusement.

With Great Qin King around, they wouldn't be too worried even when things were getting tense. As long as Great Qin King was present, the worst would not happen. After floating silently by himself for a short moment, Great Qin King vanished with a flicker as well.

He reappeared within the main hall of the Vanguard Regiment. There, he looked in the direction of Sea of Stars with worry on his face. Something had happened to...Old Qin. This was very troublesome.

The death of someone like Old Qin would trigger a massive phenomenon. Everyone would know about it. This wasn't something they could hide forever.

Suddenly, he called out, "Nan Wujiang."

After a short while, Nan Wujiang arrived, bowed, and greeted, "Great Qin King."

Great Qin King said, "Do something for me."

"Please issue your orders."

"Take Su Long away in secret and hide him somewhere safe. Don't tell me his location. Don't tell anyone except Su Yu."

Surprise covered Nan Wujiang's face.

"Go."

"But..."

Great Qin King said, "Just do it. If you can remain undetected, enter Great Qin and take Qin Hao's son away as well. Settle him down in a random minor realm."

Nan Wujiang trembled slightly. He looked at Great Qin King and asked, "You mean..." Read full story at novel-fire.ɴet

"Go." Great Qin King smiled and said, "There is no special meaning to this. It's merely the whim of an old man. Qin Hao, Qin Zhen, and even Qin Fang are all gone. If all of them were to die, would the Qin Family end? Just go and take that little fellow away. At the very least, there won't be anyone around to lead him astray when he's away as well."

After a short silence, Nan Wujiang gave Great Qin King a deep gaze before nodding and vanishing. Great Qin King leaned back on his chair and sighed. That...was all he could do for his old friend.

The death of his old friend would throw the entire Human Realm into chaos. He did not have the confidence to keep things calm. He could only try his best to preserve the bloodline of the Qin Family.

***

"Father!"

"Qin King!"

Luminous Domain Mansion. The human Invincibles were greatly alarmed. Great Qin King had lost one of his tri-life bodies. This was very bad.

"Die!"

With a desperate roar, Xia Longwu swung his blade again and cut down the final body of an immortal king. With one of his own bodies as the price, Xia Longwu had finally killed an immortal king with Qin Zhen's help.

Only two immortal kings were left. At this point, both Xia Longwu and Qin Zhen were already weakened greatly. They had each lost a body. However, they were more worried about Great Qin King than themselves.

This was very bad.

Even when they were facing four opponents, the two remaining immortal kings did not seem fearful or sad. That was because both Xia Longwu and Qin Zhen were faced with a death sovereign after killing an immortal king. This was one of the prices for killing in the residence.

The newly arrived death sovereign was incredibly powerful, giving the seriously injured Xia Longwu and Qin Zhen a hard time. They also had to fight while holding back since they couldn't afford to face the consequences of killing a death spirit here. Thus, the situation did not improve for the humans.

They did not have anyone to help transfer their opponents outside the residence for killing. They were forced to do the fighting in the residence. Great Qin King was similarly faced with a powerful death sovereign.

After the deaths of seven Invincibles, six death sovereigns had appeared. No death sovereign had arrived for the death of the first Invincible as that Invincible had been killed outside the residence. Including the previous death sovereigns, seventeen death sovereigns had arrived on the seventh level.

Xia Longwu and Qin Zhen were forced to shift their focus to the death sovereign instead of the other immortal kings after killing their opponent. Anxious, they both looked at Su Yu, hoping to see Su Yu pulling off another miracle.

In fact, Xia Longwu was so desperate he no longer cared about his face. He yelled, "Su Yu, can you think of a way to move this death sovereign away?" Meanwhile, both Su Yu and Lan Tian were receiving a beating from their opponents.

Spiritvenge was fighting Lan Tian while Heavencurse was trying to seal Su Yu without harming or killing him.

It occurred to Su Yu that Heavencurse was really quite strong. So what? What could his strength do? Su Yu believed that Heavencurse would not be able to control his strength perfectly all the time. He only needed to keep struggling until Heavencurse lost control.

Even Su Yu was starting to feel anxious after Great Qin King lost a body. With a roar, he charged toward Heavencurse again. Meanwhile, Heavencurse continued maintaining the distance between them while chanting nonstop. Instantly, a shiny net appeared and dropped down on Su Yu.

One net followed another as Heavencurse said, "You are quite impressive. No wonder the death spirits had agreed to the oath so easily. So this is what you're planning. Unfortunately, you're too weak for me to even harm."

So what if Su Yu had the combat strength of a Pseudo Invincible? He was still too weak. Heavencurse would have killed Su Yu long ago if it weren't for the oath.

"Sky! Sunder!"

With a swing of his blade, Su Yu damaged part of the nets. However, Heavencurse was able to maintain the nets with a sneer. To keep Su Yu suppressed, he increased the strength of his nets.

Suddenly, Su Yu muttered, "Tai Shan!"

"Tai Shan!"

"Tai Shan!"

Boom!

The seventh level shook at a far higher intensity than before. Even the ambient source qi in the air went crazy.

At that instance, numerous changes occurred.

Just as Blood Fire Devil King was about to deal a heavy strike to Great Qin King's past body, he staggered due to the raging source qi in his body. Great Qin King also staggered, but that allowed him to evade the attack and withdraw safely.

An immortal king was able to escape a fatal attack thanks to the sudden disturbance. As for Heavencurse, he lost control over his nets just as he was pouring more power into them. With a rumble, the nets sliced into Su Yu's body.

However, the bloodied Su Yu merely looked up at Heavencurse and grinned.

Game over.

Chapter 1501: Blooming Skylotus (3)

He only hoped that the punishment would come in the form of the Source Return Blade instead of the regular lightning tribulation.

Please let it be the Source Return Blade.

The Source Return Blade was supposed to be the embodiment of the heavenly laws on the seventh level.

Su Yu prayed inwardly.

Finally, his prayers were answered. With a hum, a blinding blade soared into the sky. At the same time, Heavencurse's expression changed drastically.

"NOO!"

A miserable wail rang out.

He was the top-ranked genius on the Dao Affirmation Ranking! He was someone capable of killing Invincibles! Someone like him shouldn't die like this! This was not possible! He was a super genius! The moment he completed his dao affirmation, he would jump straight to the fourth or even the fifth degree.

He would become a powerful Eternal. He would start his climb toward Daofuse. It wouldn't even take that long. He was not destined to die here!

Boom!

The Source Return Blade struck, cutting Heavencurse into two. Everything about that body was erased. The second Heavencurse appeared, but it was cut into two again. Next, the third body appeared. Yes. Heavencurse had formed his third body. Right as the third body emerged, Su Yu timed his punch and landed it on the body. Boom! The body was blasted apart.

Boom!

Dark clouds appeared in the sky.

Yes. Heavencurse was so impressive that his death was generating a phenomenon like he was an Invincible. Clearly, even the heavens were treating Heavencurse as an Invincible. Unfortunately, the heavenly laws were merciless. They would not show anyone mercy. The heavenly laws here, in particular, were meant to deal with death sovereigns. There was no surviving this.

Heavencurse was dead. All the surrounding death spirits trembled with fear, including Xing Yue and He Tu. The death sovereigns who had been transferred here by the heavenly laws also stopped all actions in fear.

Source Return Blade.

A blade meant to punish all lawbreakers.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was cursing inwardly. He had only killed the third body. The heavenly laws had taken most of the credit for the kill. The heavenly rewards were insufficient for him to complete another transformation.

Holy shit!

Suddenly, his gaze landed on Spiritvenge. At the moment, Spiritvenge had an unsightly expression.

Heavencurse was dead.

Damn it!

How did Su Yu do that?

They all knew that Lan Tian was capable of resonating with an unknown existance in the mansion. But none of them knew that Su Yu could do so as well. Even Lan Tian could only resonate with that existence when he was feeling particularly wronged.

However, Su Yu was able to turn the entire seventh level upside down easily. They still weren't perfectly sure that Su Yu was the culprit, but they believed that to be the case. It was simply too big of a coincidence. How would the seventh level go crazy just when Heavencurse needed full concentration?

Furthermore, no death sovereign had appeared after Heavencurse was killed. Clearly, even the heavenly laws agreed that he deserved death. It was well known that the protection of the heavenly laws did not extend toward those they spurned.

As members of a fallen race, both Spiritvenge and Heavencurse were spurned by the heavenly laws.

Suddenly, Su Yu shouted, "Lan Tian, keep him busy for a short moment."

The overjoyed Lan Tian roared and sent countless clones toward Spiritvenge. Alarmed, Spiritvenge turned around to flee instead of staying to fight.

***

At the same time.

Topsoil Spirit was similarly alarmed. He hurriedly sent a voice transmission, "Stop waiting! Do it now, Elder! Stop Spiritvenge for Su Yu! Su Yu has a way to kill him! Don't hesitate!"

"But Great Qin King is dying..."

"Do it! Su Yu has a trump card! He has resonated with an unknown super expert. The Luminous Domain Mansion...is either a supreme weapon or the residence of a supreme existence who is not fully dead! Do it now! Su Yu is capable of communicating with this supreme existence!"

"Fine."

The five elemental Invincible flickered and sent an incredibly sharp golden blade toward a certain River of Time. He was an Invincible from the metal elemental race.

The golden blade cut the River of Time apart, forcing the alarmed Spiritvenge out of the river. He roared in fury, "Auspicious Golden! You dare?"

"Kill him!"

Topsoil Spirit shouted.

"..."

Not far behind, Su Yu blanked out slightly. This was a complete surprise for him.

Holy shit!

Was the five elemental race helping him?

How unexpected.

He had thought that the five elemental race would stay neutral. What a surprise. They had actually helped him.

Su Yu naturally wouldn't let go of this chance. He yelled, "Lan Tian, five elemental, keep him busy. Let me finish the job!"

With an expression of bitter resentment, Spiritvenge stared at Su Yu and said, "Let us die together!"

Next, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. Instantly, the blood turned dark. In a split second, the blood seeped into Su Yu's head.

"Hahaha! Let us die together!"

Just then, the Source Return Blade moved again. It felt as though it was capable of severing everything in existence. The moment it descended, Spiritvenge lost his body. The second body was cut apart the moment it appeared. After blanking out for a split second, Su Yu roared and threw a punch at the third body.

Boom!

A rain of blood started falling. At his final moments, Spiritvenge sneered and said, "You will die as well, Su Yu. I'll be waiting for you in the Death Realm. You won't survive my Soulbreaker Awl. I'll be waiting—"

"Are you dumb?"

Su Yu cursed while enjoying the rich heavenly rewards. Like his previous kill, he didn't get the full credit. But it was enough for him to complete his fourth transformation. As for the dark blood, it didn't even get through the Culture Tomb.

What a dumb guy.

But the Culture Tomb sure was impressive. The blood could only surround it without dealing any damage to it. Before long, the blood was absorbed clean by the tomb.

Su Yu appeared completely indifferent, but Auspicious Golden looked worried. He hurriedly said, "This isn't good! The Soulbreaker Awl is very dangerous. Abandon your body and cut your sea of willpower apart! You might yet survive..."

Holy shit!

This was very bad.

That damn Topsoil Spirit was too unreliable. He did as told and helped Su Yu, but Su Yu was going to die right after receiving his help.

The Soulbreaker Awl was the trump card of the celestial chasm race. Back then, Ye Batian had been killed by the same technique as well. This was a technique formed through the blood essence and soul of an Invincible. It would exhaust more than half of one's strength once used, all to ensure the death of an enemy.

Su Yu was as good as dead. It didn't matter how freakish he was. He was still a Cloudbreach while this was a technique capable of killing Invincibles.

Su Yu merely smiled and said, "Thank you for your assistance, Senior. Don't worry. It's no big deal."

As his transformation progressed, he said indifferently, "Really, it's nothing. Don't worry, Senior. What can a mere Soulbreaker Awl do to me? What can a garbage technique like that do to me?"

Just as Auspicious Golden wanted to say something, Su Yu's body shook as all 360 of his acupoints released a powerful aura. His entire body lit up, as though he had transformed into a sun.

He had finally completed his fourth transformation. His physical strength had been pushed beyond 8.7 million acupoints. Perhaps he had grown too much, but his yang acupoint could no longer double his strength. Or perhaps Xing Yue was running out of death qi. He didn't know.

With his latest transformation, the yang acupoint could only boost his strength by about eighty percent.

Su Yu was greatly disappointed. That would only grant him the strength of roughly 15 million acupoints. Was that enough to fight Invincibles? It would probably be hard.

Then again, Su Yu was sure he was already comparable with Pseudo Invincibles with three bodies. He had surpassed two-bodied Pseudo Invincibles. Or to be precise, he had a feeling he had reached the same level as the likes of Heavencurse.

He felt strong.

He felt very strong.

Should he try fighting an Invincible? But with the River of Time, it was unlikely that he could even land an attack on an Invincible. How annoying.

Auspicious Golden was completely dumbstruck as he stared at the shiny and golden Su Yu.

Holy shit!

Was this really happening?

Just surviving the Soulbreaker Awl was already a very big deal. How did Su Yu grow even stronger in such a short time? He was already starting to feel like an Invincible.

Su Yu said, "Senior, can you help me with the two immortal kings?"

"Yes...sure..."

Auspicious Golden was still blanking out. He finally understood Topsoil Spirit. This was a freak. This was an absolute freak. A freak of nature. If he managed to grow to maturity, humanity would definitely rise in power.

***

Spiritvenge marked the eighth Invincible to die today.

Heavencurse was not counted since he was not an Invincible.

Eight Invincibles.

Three divines, three immortals, one devil, and one celestial chasm.

Next, a miserable wail rang out.

As the sole Invincible of the five elemental race in the mansion, Auspicious Golden was incredibly strong as well. His sole task here was to protect Topsoil Spirit. To be precise, he was a sixth-degree Eternal.

The moment he joined the fight, golden radiance washed over the area. He was still in his peak condition. Thus, he could easily handle an immortal king who was already forced out of his merged state.

With Zhu Tianfang's help, he was able to instantly kill the immortal king. At the same time, a heaven weapon exploded. Countless immortals flew in all directions, but all of them died before they could go far.

With that, Immortal King Xuan He became the sole immortal survivor in the mansion. Everyone else had died.

With a bleak smile, Immortal King Xuan He said, "Sigh. The immortals...have been at peace for too long. We have a lot of experts...but we have grown soft from the prolonged peace..."

Then, a large number of Invincibles swarmed him, instantly killing him. Immortal King Xuan He had been killed. Two new death sovereigns arrived. Not a single celestial chasm and immortal remained in the mansion.

A blood rain started falling again while a suffocating silence descended. Even Great Qin King was stunned.

Dead?

So many of them?

These people had killed even more Invincibles than him.

Ten Invincibles had died so far. Only eleven Invincibles were left around Great Qin King. Two divines, six devils, two dragons, and a nether. The phoenix Invincible was still in a standstill with He Tu.

"Department Head!"

Blood Fire Devil King said, "Are you going to continue staying out of this? You from the fate race, are you going to keep watching?"

The devils had not suffered much, but the immortals had been wiped out.

The two remaining divine kings were badly injured, while the dragons and nether were trembling with fear. Even with Great Qin King's second body near death, they were starting to grow fearful.

The humans...had somehow killed ten Invincibles. Fortunately, the other human kings were currently kept busy by the death sovereigns. After seeing that Great Qin King wouldn't be easy to kill, the death sovereigns had decided to target Xia Longwu and the others instead.

Thus, Xia Longwu and Auspicious Golden were kept busy by eight death sovereigns. It felt as though things were growing more and more troublesome for them even after killing so many Invincibles.

Blood Fire Devil King was starting to worry. He was worried that after killing Great Qin King, the Heaven Department head would do something unexpected.

Silence descended.

Things were starting to become clear.

The humans would still be defeated, but the other races would suffer major losses tot achieve victory. Great Qin King was still alive, with the remaining Invincibles around him growing wary of his last desperate attack. Just then, Su Yu said, "Looks like in the end, the humans, immortals, divines, and dragons will suffer while the devils and Heavenly Hunt Pavilion will be the biggest winners. Who will win more?"

Right at that moment, a lotus bloomed in the sky.

After so many deaths, the enchanting lotus was finally blooming, swaying about gently. It had matured. Its fragrance spread all over the seventh level. After absorbing the nutrients of so many experts, it had finally matured.

Of the remaining Invincibles, there were five humans, six devils, two divines, two dragons, one elemental, one nether, one fate, one phoenix, and one from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion.

The humans might have a respectable number left, but all of them were badly injured. Even with the assistance of the five elemental race, things still weren't looking that good for them. One should not forget that Xia Longwu and the others were still surrounded by the death sovereigns. The rıghtful source is Nove1Fire.net

The humans were still in danger.

Chapter 1502: Tai Shan (1)

The myriad races could only recuperate their losses if they could kill Great Qin King.

Looking at the skylotus in the sky, Blood Fire Devil King gnashed his teeth and said, "Kill Great Qin King first!"

They could put the skylotus aside for now. They needed to wait for it to bloom nine times.

That gave them a little bit more time. With a roar, Blood Fire Devil King charged forward and engaged Great Qin King's present body before shouting, "Kill his past body!"

He was trying his best as well. Previously, he had been saving strength to fight for the skylotus. But now, he was throwing all caution out the window.

With Great Qin King so heavily injured, it was unlikely that the other races would dare to do more without someone taking the lead.

"Blood Fire, you sure a crafty."

While gasping for breath, Great Qin King smiled, "But you won't be able to achieve Daofuse being so indecisive. If you were willing to try harder since the beginning, a lot less people would have died."

Blood Fire Devil King said nothing. He attacked with grim determination.

A River of Time appeared around Great Qin King's present body. Blood Fire Devil King was still capable of slowing Great Qin King down. The current Great Qin King was slightly weaker than him.

He was more worried about the Heaven Department head. That would be his fiercest competitor after this. As for the eight death sovereigns, they were attacking the other humans. There was no need for him to worry about the other humans and the five elemental Invincible.

***

Everyone had seemingly forgotten about Su Yu and Lan Tian.

Lan Tian looked at Great Qin King bleakly before moving toward Great Qin King. Going would be tantamount to death. But there were times in life when one had to do something stupid. He knew this was unwise. But he had to go.

He too, was a human.

Even after fusing ten thousand daos, he would still be a human. Thus, he ran toward his death.

Su Yu said nothing. He did not try to stop Lan Tian.

This was what it meant to be a human.

Everyone was a hypocrite. Nobody could do what they preached.

Previously, Wan Tiansheng had taught him to be selfish just before doing something selfless. He knew that Xia Longwu had been swapped with Xia Xiao'er, but he still went. He might be more important for humanity than Xia Xiao'er, but he couldn't stop himself.

Even with death as the price, he did not hesitate.

"To be a human..."

Su Yu laughed bitterly.

Humanity...was annoying.

He hated being a human. No, he didn't hate it for the first eighteen years of his life. But for the past two years, he had been hating humanity. He hated all the schemings and internal conflicts. He hated that the higher-ups had sacrificed the multiple character faction for the greater good. He hated all the people scheming against them.

But whenever he was faced with despair, whenever his trust toward humanity was at its lowest point, a human would step forth and tell him that the world was not such a dark place.

There was a group of people out there shining like candles in the dark.

They were running headlong toward their deaths. They were fighting hard. They were sacrificing themselves.

"How hateful."

Su Yu kept grumbling as he gathered the blood essence of Heavencurse and Spiritvenge. Soon, he landed on the ground and retrieved the blood essence Xing Yue had placed on a Sunmoon death spirit.

First, Su Yu consumed Heavencurse's blood essence. That was a test since Heavencurse was not an Invincible yet as strong as an Invincible. Immediately, his golden book lit up.

The blood essence had been absorbed.

***

At the same time.

The Heaven Department head looked at Su Yu. Under his mask, his expression changed slightly.

That tiny undulation would be neglected by most Invincibles, but not him. After all, he was someone who had spent a lot of time beside the Heavenly Hunt Index. His expression changed again and again.

Was this the inheritance of the Time Sage? The undulation felt familiar. That must be the inheritance of the Time Sage, right?

Was Culture King the Time Sage? No, this was Culture King's inheritance. Was that the case?

Numerous thoughts emerged in his mind. Culture King. Time Sage. Su Yu. Heavenly Overseer Marquis.

Heavenly Hunt Pavilion!

The Heaven Department head struggled with himself.

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was subordinate to Culture King, responsible for overseeing the Myriad Realms.

The Time Sage was the public enemy of the myriad races.

Culture King was one of the leaders of humanity.

He didn't know how to feel.

If Su Yu had Culture King's inheritance, he would be Culture King's direct successor, the official master of the Heavenly Overseer Marquis. However, was a marquis who had survived since the ancient past be willing to accept a new master out of nowhere?

"Tian Yue, you can ignore everything in the mansion, but be sure to verify Su Yu's inheritance if you do encounter him. Does his inheritance come from Lord Culture King? Or does his inheritance come from the Time Sage?"

The Heaven Department head recalled the words of Heavenly Overseer Marquis before he entered the mansion.

"If he has the Time Sage's inheritance, kill him. The Time Sage is the enemy of the myriad races. Even Culture King agrees with that. Show no mercy. If his inheritance came from Culture King..."

It was then that the Heavenly Overseer Marquis sank into a long silence without completing his sentence.

At that time, the Heaven Department head asked, "What if both are true?"

Yes. What if both were true?

What should they do?

Why couldn't Culture King be the Time Sage?

Who could be sure that Culture King wasn't?

After all, this was quite a popular theory in the ancient past.

When the Heaven Department head sensed the familiar undulation from Su Yu, he didn't know what it meant. Was this Culture King's inheritance? But he was familiar with Su Yu's book. It resembled the Time Sage more.

Sure enough, his guess was right. The Time Sage deserved death, but the Heavenly Overseer Marquis had said nothing about Culture King's inheritance. Clearly, the Heavenly Overseer Marquis didn't what to do about it as well.

Up in the sky, the nine-leaf skylotus was still blooming.

The phoenix Invincible noted that He Tu seemed to be blanking out. Just as she was about to sneak off and kill Su Yu, He Tu looked at her again. Instantly, she changed her mind and charged toward Great Qin King instead.

Since she had picked her side, she should stop hesitating. If she allowed the humans to turn the tables, all of them would die.

The phoenix was clearly aware of the danger they were in. If Great Qin King were to survive this and decide to invade the Phoenix Realm, who could stop him?

Great Qin King must die here.

Rumbling sounds erupted repeatedly.

Alone, Great Qin King's past body faced eleven Invincibles. How could he be a match against so many Invincibles with only one body? In the blink of an eye, his past body was pushed to the brink of destruction.

He could only swing his spear untiringly, moving through instinct alone.

***

Just then, Su Yu smiled. His body was strong enough to withstand Heavencurse's blood essence without much issue.

In that case, there was no need to keep hesitating. He gnashed his teeth and swallowed another drop of blood essence. Boom! A powerful aura erupted inside his sea of willpower. He felt as though his sea of willpower was collapsing.

The golden book appeared and absorbed the incredible power sweeping through his sea of willpower. Not far away, the Culture Tomb was releasing a weak aura, suppressing the berserk power.

At the same time, the Heaven Department head's expression changed drastically.

What...what aura was that?

It was very faint.

Hollow, who was busy killing the random Pseudo Invincibles around him, blanked out slightly as well. He looked at Su Yu with a frown before shaking his head. He couldn't feel anything, but he did feel an empty sensation for a split second earlier.

It felt as though he had missed out on something important.

***

"This is..."

The Heaven Department head continued struggling inwardly. What was this? The aura of the culture dao? But this...he sank into thought. Shortly after, he reached a conclusion. This was...the Culture Tomb!

At that, he looked at the distant Hollow with an odd expression.

Sensing the gaze, Hollow looked at the department head and grinned before cupping his fists, seemingly making it clear that he was a weak nobody.

"Do I kill? Or do I not kill?"

The department head struggled to make a decision.

Su Yu might be the successor of Culture King.

But...as the disciple of Heavenly Overseer Marquis...Yes. The Heaven Department head was Heavenly Overseer Marquis's disciple. He was born during the first epoch. He came from the same era as He Tu.

He couldn't decide on what to do about Su Yu. He had to consider both his master and Su Yu.

"Sigh."

Suddenly, the entire seventh level turned silent. Only a single sigh could be heard.

Abruptly, the Heaven Department head split into three bodies.

Looking at Su Yu, he said, "I don't know. Should I kill you? I can't make a decision. I have my master on one side. A master is akin to a father. But on the other side, there is humanity. Yes. I am a human. Human...yes, I am a human. I'm sorry. I can't do anything..."

Then, his three bodies started fighting each other.

Yes. He was fighting himself.

Even Su Yu was dumbfounded at the sight of that.

What the fuck was that? Follow current novᴇls on novèlfire.net

"Humanity, master, and Culture King..."

The Heaven Department head said, "Since I can't decide, I shall let my bodies decide."

An intense battle erupted between the three bodies.

Su Yu was stunned.

Even the death sovereigns were stunned. Holy shit! It was indeed true that one's horizons could only expand if one lived long enough. But this wasn't quite applicable to them since they were dead. Whatever.

The Heaven Department head seemed to have driven himself mad from his uncertainties. His three bodies were fighting each other without holding back, as though they were really trying to kill each other.

Su Yu couldn't resist saying, "Hey...can't you kill those people first before making your decision?"

He didn't even know if he should feel anger toward this person. From the words of the department head, it was clear the Heavenly Overseer Marquis wanted him dead but the department head was a human. Due to his hesitation, he decided to fight himself.

What in the world was this?

Su Yu didn't even know what to make of this.

Meanwhile, Blood Fire Devil King laughed.

After coughing a mouthful of blood, Great Qin King looked at the department head and sighed, "There is no need for this. Master, race, and faith. It is true that these can drive people crazy."

Yes. Culture King was considered his faith. Heavenly Overseer Marquis represented his master. And humanity was his race. This ancient human had decided to fight himself due to his hesitation.

All three bodies said at the same time, "In the past, I was human. Now, I am a student of the pavilion master. I will continue believing in Culture King in the future. If my past wins, I will kill the myriad races. If my present wins, I will kill Su Yu. If my future wins, I will help humanity as a believer of Culture King. I will decide my path myself."

Boom!

His battle with himself was even more intense than the battle between Great Qin King and the various Invincibles.

Alas, the past was the weakest.
