Chapter 1693: Kill A Daofuse To Become A Sunmoon (3)
"Friend, the ancient past is...no more."
The golden peng laughed and said, "Ape Pseudo Emperor, I'll leave him for you."
The Ape Pseudo Emperor said, "Stop wasting time with small talk. Kill Su Yu and end this."
Then, the Ape Pseudo Emperor charged forth and met the hou with his staff.
Three additional Daofuses had joined the battle. Numerous people were shocked. Three more ancient races had picked sides. Both the Devil Pseudo Emperor and Dragon Pseudo Emperor smiled. Victory was as good as theirs.
There weren't that many Pseudo Emperors left that had yet to join the battle. The Fate Pseudo Emperor was one of them. As usual, he maintained his neutrality and acted like nothing was happening. It was unlikely that there were more Daofuses lying around. Even if there were, they were most likely in deep slumber. As for the remaining Daofuses, it was highly unlikely that they would participate in this battle.
Over twenty Daofuses had been dragged into this battle, including the ones in the Death Realm.
Once again, the golden peng clawed at the old turtle's barrier. With a roar, he tossed the barrier away before rushing forward. It was time to end this. With him here, not even escaping to the Death Realm would save Su Yu. He would simply give chase.
Even if there were death sovereigns waiting down there, he was confident he would be fine as a Daofuse.
Su Yu sighed.
This golden peng wasn't his target. Why must the golden peng seek death? Sure enough, courting death was getting too popular nowadays. Why wouldn't they believe his warnings?
Under him, the death tunnel fully opened.
The golden peng merely sneered with disdain.
Could Su Yu even escape him?
He was a golden peng, a race known for its speed.
With a flicker, he appeared at the entrance of the death tunnel, blocking Su Yu's way. With a smile, he said, "You're too weak and too slow. Well, looks like the time for you to die has arrived."
Su Yu's eyes widened.
Holy shit!
He had never seen someone courting death with such a high enthusiasm before.
Truly.
There were two experts down there, no, three, including the old turtle's dao body. And yet he was automatically showing them his back?
Su Yu had been planning to enter the tunnel himself to lure the golden peng inside, but there wasn't even a need for that. The golden peng had delivered himself voluntarily.
The golden peng interpreted Su Yu's widened eyes as a show of fear and despair. He smiled with derision. Su Yu was a genius. A freak. But he had underestimated Daofuses. The golden peng was too fast for him to handle.
Fleeing? How laughable. With his escape path blocked, how could he escape now? The kid would do well to remember that Daofuses were different from Eternals.
Once again, the golden peng clawed at Su Yu. He could already see the scene of Su Yu dying and the ancient guardians withdrawing. Humanity would be defeated, and the iron devourers, hous, primordial giants, and spatial beasts would escape in desperation. He could already see all that happening.
Perhaps they would even kill a Daofuse or two to teach others a lesson for supporting humanity. That would serve as a warning for the remaining races to never pick humanity.
It was already the tenth epoch. Why were there still people blind enough to pick their side? Over a hundred races had gone extinct over the past nine epochs for supporting humanity. Was that not good enough a lesson?
The golden peng couldn't understand what these people were thinking. Truly. What were they thinking? Take the hou as an example. Was he so eager to follow in his father's footsteps to serve humanity?
"Su Yu!"
Numerous Invincibles roared in desperation.
Great Xia King, Great Ming King, Heavendoom, and the others struggled with desperation.
This was looking very bad.
Su Yu had failed to escape! Why didn't he flee when the golden peng was still being stopped by the barrier? Why did he waste his time talking to the golden peng? How foolish!
Great Xia King and the others were losing their minds.
Would more Daofuses appear to help humanity?
That seemed unlikely.
Shit! Shit! Shit!
Su Yu's death would most certainly result in a defeat for them.
As the claw approached Su Yu, numerous faces smiled. This was the most intense battle to have erupted in the tenth epoch. And it would finally end.
Su Yu's death would end it.
Just as they were smiling in anticipation, a disgruntled voice rang out, "He's standing in my way! He's stepping on my head! I'm angry!"
"Sigh. Why are you so impatient?" An older voice rang out, "See, this is the importance of reading. Reading will teach you patience."
"Hey, that's a golden peng. I heard golden pengs are tasty. I don't know if that's true, but we should take some back to feed Fat Ball."
"Sure. Good idea."
The exchange was relaxed, yet it had happened in the blink of an eye. It gave off an unusual sensation, as though it was both slow and fast at the same time.
Suddenly, time and space started reversing.
The golden peng's expression changed drastically. Countless branches shot up from below him before twirling around him. The tea plant had learned to keep someone tied up first. Thus, that was the first thing she did when encountering a new opponent. At the same time, numerous nets emerged from the death tunnel.
"This is an expert of the living. Most of them are latched onto different daos. Upon proving their own daos, they will become Daofuses. This signifies a high rate of fusion between their own daos and the existing daos they have adhered to. You can kill such opponents by breaking down their chosen great daos."
The younger voice asked, "How do I manifest their chosen daos?"
"I'll teach you. The world is filled with laws. All of them have dao bodies. When their dao bodies break, their daos will manifest. Of course, some people can force the dao to manifest without breaking any dao bodies. But such people have an exceedingly deep comprehension of the myriad laws. You lack such comprehension."
After being educated by the book spirit, the tea plant knew what to do. Instantly, a golden silhouette emerged from the golden peng's body. Then, countless branches stabbed through it, ruining the dao body. Next, a large dao appeared out of thin air.
It was roaring and struggling.
Or to be precise, a golden peng was roaring above the line in the sky. That was the golden peng's dao. The line in the sky, or the dao, had almost been entirely swallowed by the golden peng. It was on the verge of becoming one with the golden peng.
Despite his might, the golden peng was overwhelmed with fear. He asked in despair, "No! Who are you?"
This shouldn't be possible! He did not even know there were such beings in the Myriad Realms. They were no death spirits. Who were they? There were really Daofuses waiting in the Death Realm!
Right at that moment, a golden flash shot out of the tunnel before appearing inside the old turtle's body.
Instantly, the old turtle's aura surged. A gigantic grand dream turtle manifested in the sky. With a rumble, the turtle slammed his entire body down, sending the two Pseudo Emperors flying while coughing blood.
The old turtle stomped forth, causing a massive death qi explosion with each step. The two Pseudo Emperors were sent flying while coughing blood repeatedly.
Finally, the old turtle smiled and said, "How odd. Why wouldn't you believe Su Yu's words?"
Su Yu waited no longer. It was time to kill. A Daofuse had been caught. He would definitely be rewarded handsomely after killing a Daofuse.
Transforming the Culture Tomb into a blade, he swung it with all his strength. He needed the reward. He needed to reach the ninth-stage Mountainsea Realm speedily before advancing into the Sunmoon Realm.
What a dumb golden bird. Why didn't he believe that there were Daofuses waiting down there?
The golden peng was completely tied up. He was unable to even budge. He could only roar in desperation, but everything had happened too fast. He couldn't even react.
The blade arrived.
Or to be precise, the blade struck the golden peng projection above the dao. With a rumble, the projection started shaking violently. It was so intense even Su Yu's arms burst apart. Instead of being alarmed, Su Yu was overjoyed. A tough opponent instead! Content orıginally comes from novel★fire.net
He was even more certain that a massive reward would come out of this. He pushed his characters, willpower, body, acupoints, and Heaven Gate to their limits.
Boom!
One strike. Two strikes. Three strikes...
Instantly, he landed numerous strikes on the projection.
Boom!
Finally, the projection crumbled into pieces.
The look in the golden peng's eyes dimmed. With a blank expression, he muttered weakly, "Who...are you?"
His dao had been shattered by Su Yu. He couldn't understand this. Who? Who were the two? He had never seen them before. None of them was weaker than him. Just who were they?
He was filled with indignation.
Far away, an ancient realm shook violently.
The Golden Peng Realm.
Inside that realm, countless golden pengs were wailing mournfully as they flew everywhere in panic.
Apocalypse was upon them.
Their Emperor had fallen.
The sky split apart, lava erupted from the ground, and their realm barrier shattered.
Reddish golden rain started falling from the sky.
That was the second Daofuse to die today.
A golden peng.
He had joined the battle late, yet he had died not long after appearing.
***
Boom!
With great difficulty, Su Yu cut the golden peng's body apart before storing the corpse inside his Mark of Civilization. What good luck. He had collected a relatively intact Daofuse corpse.
With the golden peng dead, the book spirit and tea plant shifted their attention elsewhere. Countless branches shot toward the nearby Ape Pseudo Emperor alongside numerous massive nets.
Fear covered the Ape Pseudo Emperor's eyes.
His fight with the hou had barely started yet the golden peng had died.
"Open!"
With a roar, he stabbed through the sky with his staff as he attempted to flee through his River of Time.
As he turned around to flee, the hou chomped down on his leg, biting it off before chewing on it. Then, he looked at the book spirit and tea plant doubtfully.
Who were they?
Su Yu was truly filled with surprises. He had thought that Su Yu would not survive this.
As for Su Yu, he was too preoccupied to care about anything else. A massive golden cloud was descending upon him, followed by a large amount of power of laws. His aura rose sharply.
Third-stage Mountainsea, fourth stage, fifth sage...
In the blink of an eye, he had fused all his acupoints into two acupoints. He might have killed a Daofuse, but that was an assisted kill. Thus, the reward wasn't as large as it could have been. Then again, it was still significant as Su Yu was only a Mountainsea.
His physical strength skyrocketed.
His few remaining Mountainsea characters advanced into the Sunmoon Realm.
Then, his body reached the peak Mountainsea Realm as his two acupoints started coming together. His body continued growing, slowly approaching the Sunmoon Realm. At the same time, his willpower also started its advancement into the Sunmoon Realm.
It was time for him to advance.
Numerous expressions changed drastically. Where did the two super experts come from?
Far away, the initially calm Heavenly Overseer Marquis could no longer remain calm. He trembled as he muttered, "This...this isn't possible! Myriad...Myriad Dao Sutra..."
He paled.
Myriad Dao Sutra!
He could recognize the aura of the book!
And who was the other person?
It didn't matter. These two were definitely related to Culture King!
Su Yu...Culture King...
The Heavenly Overseer Marquis grew more and more pale. He shouldn't have acted against the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor! That was a mistake!
Meanwhile, Great Zhou King was laughing.
He was laughing happily.
He had never laughed in such an unrestrained manner before.
"Die!"
With a roar, a battle erupted outside the Celestial Chasm Realm as well. They aimed to only keep Tiangu and the others from interfering with the battle outside the Human Realm.
Boom!
Their opportunity had arrived!
Great Zhou King roared with laughter. The change he was waiting for had arrived!
Holy lord, Su Yu! He had gambled correctly!
Two Daofuses!
They had even killed a Daofuse right after arriving. Humanity had finally gained the upper hand!
Chapter 1694: A Dog's Dao (1)
Everything had changed.
The situation had reversed completely.
Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor, Spatial Beast Pseudo Emperor, Primordial Giant King, Great Zhou King, double furballs, book spirit, old turtle, tea plant, and hou. Ten Daofuses.
These were the Daofuses standing on humanity's side.
As of the myriad races, the immortal, devil, divine, dragon, phoenix, ape, spirit, nether, golden peng, celestial chasm, and Heavenly Overseer Marquis were the Daofuses fighting for them. Including the two dead marquises and the two who had escaped, a total of fifteen Daofuses had fought for them at one point or another.
Four were lost.
The Ape Pseudo Emperor had escaped with injuries.
Of the Daofuses who were still neutral, the Fate Pseudo Emperor was the most well-known. And he had remained neutral until the very end.
Outside the Human Realm, humanity enjoyed the support of six Daofuses. Meanwhile, only four Daofuses were left on the myriad races' side. The Ape Pseudo Emperor had escaped, but he returned soon after as he knew that he couldn't afford to flee from this battle. But instead of throwing himself into the battle again, he observed from afar.
Six against five.
And the old turtle was capable of fighting two alone.
To make things worse for the myriad races, the old turtle still had the upper hand even when he was fighting two Daofuses alone. It almost felt as though the Devil Pseudo Emperor and Nether Pseudo Emperor were receiving a one-sided beating from him. At this rate, the old turtle could very well kill them both alone.
That left three myriad race Daofuses to face the five Daofuses on humanity's side, with one of the three being the injured Ape Pseudo Emperor.
The smile on the Dragon Pseudo Emperor's face had long vanished. He roared, "Ape Pseudo Emperor, Spirit Pseudo Emperor, come to me! We need to group up!"
They needed to work together to find a way out of this. They couldn't continue fighting alone and risk being encircled.
The book spirit and tea plant joined the hou against the Dragon Pseudo Emperor. Suddenly, Su Yu shouted, "Kill the Spirit Pseudo Emperor!"
The Spirit Pseudo Emperor, who was fighting the Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor, paled.
Killing her? She had believed that she was most certainly the Daofuse Su Yu hated least here. Why would she be the target instead of the Dragon Pseudo Emperor? She was confused, but she did not have the luxury to think about the matter.
She released all her strength and roared, "All Eternals of spirit race, gather up!"
She couldn't allow things to continue this way. They must gather up and flee together. The old turtle was too strong. The book spirit and tea plant were unfamiliar faces, but nobody dared to underestimate them after witnessing how easily they had killed the golden peng.
They were not Tiangu. Tiangu and Heavenly Overseer Marquis were among the stronger Daofuses in the Myriad Realms. Mere ordinary Daofuses like them were nothing compared to the two.
Noticing the spreading panic, Tiangu's expression changed. He roared furiously, "Heavenly Overseer Marquis, go over there and help them! Leave Zhou Tianqi and Soy Bun to me!"
He was a peak Daofuse. Thus, he had to take on two opponents alone to free one of them. They couldn't lose the battle outside the Human Realm or the consequences would be dire.
However, the Heavenly Overseer Marquis was unwilling to follow his plan. "You go. I'll stay."
Yes. He would rather face two opponents alone here than go.
He did not want to go.
Myriad Dao Sutra!
The sight of the Myriad Dao Sutra had ruined his mental state. He did not want to be there.
Having guessed the truth, Tiangu cursed inwardly. He could see that the Heavenly Overseer Marquis must have been frightened by the two newcomers. But he wasn't too surprised. Everyone knew that Culture King was the person Heavenly Overseer Marquis feared most.
Since the marquis was willing to handle two opponents alone, there was no point in arguing about it. They couldn't afford to hold anything back. A defeat outside the Human Realm could quickly affect the battle here as well. He had to keep things under control.
Boom!
At that thought, Tiangu took his coffin out and knocked it against Soy Bun. However, Soy Bun ignored the attack and continued chomping down on Tiangu. He wanted to eat Tiangu badly, but he wasn't Tiangu's match. He would only be a match against Tiangu when working together with his wife.
Alone, he wouldn't be a match. Soy Bun knew that well. According to his personal ranking, the old turtle held the first place, the Heavenly Overseer Marquis held the second place, and Tiangu held the third place among all the Daofuses in the Myriad Realms.
"Hey, you! Yes, you! Beat him up!"
Soy Bun started ordering Great Zhou King around instead.
Tiangu ignored Soy Bun. He was looking for an opportunity to leave.
"Don't even dream of leaving."
The long-awaited opportunity had finally arrived. Great Zhou King would naturally not allow any of them to leave so easily. He knew full well just how strong Tiangu and the Heavenly Overseer Marquis were. That was precisely why he couldn't allow them to leave.
"Friend Soy Bun, keep Tiangu busy. I'll handle Heavenly Overseer Marquis."
Instantly, Great Zhou King's aura surged as a character manifested before him before appearing in front of the Heavenly Overseer Marquis with a flicker.
Boom!
The character erupted in power.
The Heavenly Overseer Marquis was the expert second only to the old turtle in the Myriad Realms.
However, he seemed distracted. When a golden page appeared, the look in his eyes changed slightly as more fear seeped in. But that only lasted a short moment as he hurriedly suppressed his thoughts before sending both the golden page and his palm out..
Great Zhou King, who was in the middle of teleporting elsewhere, was met with an extremely rare failure of teleportation. The space around him shattered, spitting him back to his original position to face the incoming palm attack by the Heavenly Overseer Marquis.
"Impressive."
Great Zhou King sighed. That was too impressive. The power of luck was indeed not something to be underestimated. A manipulator of luck could cause him misfortune so easily. Even when he was already teleporting elsewhere, a random spatial accident had occurred to return him right to the path of Heavenly Overseer Marquis' attack.
Boom!
With a rumble, Great Zhou King was pushed back. Yet he merely smiled. A character could be seen hovering in front of him: hard.
Boom!
Heavenly Overseer Marquis frowned. A barrier had appeared in front of Great Zhou King.
And that barrier had survived a clash against his palm.
"Open!"
With another roar, Great Zhou King pulled even further back as the space around him warped and opened up for him.
"Cover!"
Yet another character appeared, just in time to stop Heavenly Overseer Marquis' palm right after it broke through the hard character.
Explode!
Boom!
Space itself exploded, setting Heavenly Overseer Marquis' hand on fire.
And in the middle of all that, Great Zhou King was continuously pulling back from the marquis. With a smile, he said, "The path of luck is unpredictable, but the path of characters isn't any less enigmatic."
Heavenly Overseer Marquis frowned coldly and asked, "Great Zhou King...are you sure you're a human from this epoch?"
He found that hard to believe.
Great Zhou King's characters were too powerful.
And he had a large number of these characters.
"Of course." Great Zhou King asked, "Do you think one must live long to be strong? You're wrong. Humanity will always be far stronger than you can imagine."
At that, eighteen powerful characters appeared around him.
"Yin, yang, opposite, chaos. Reverse, turn, sun, moon!"
With that, the heaven and earth were overturned, as though the entire Myriad Realms had turned upside down. "Reversal of luck. Arrival of misfortune."
As the characters danced about, the power of numerous laws trembled.
Just as Heavenly Overseer Marquis wanted to take a step forth, an unlikely accident happened. He stepped upon a tiny crack in space, creating a massive rift in space right under him.
His expression changed yet again.
"You reversed my luck!"
This shouldn't be possible!
At this point, Great Zhou King was already coughing blood from the exertion. With a pale expression, he said, "Luck? Luck is merely a supporting power. Only death awaits you if you treat it as your one and only trump card."
Then, he vanished with a flicker, followed by a massive explosion.
Up in the sky, two daos manifested before clashing against each other.
Great Zhou King reappeared, pointing at one of the daos with his finger. With a snort, Heavenly Overseer Marquis released numerous characters as well.
"I can do the same!"
His characters spread out, reversing the five elements and shattering the space around them. As a former follower of Culture King, how could he not be proficient in characters as well?
Tiangu, who was giving Soy Bun a beating, glanced over and was surprised by what he saw. Both of them were far stronger than he had imagined. More importantly, they had fought with characters instead of their bodies.
As someone who had just achieved Daofuse, Great Zhou King was actually capable of reversing Heavenly Overseer Marquis' luck with only his characters. Just like that, Heavenly Overseer Marquis' biggest trump card was neutralized.
Tiangu had thought that Heavenly Overseer Marquis would be strong enough to handle two of these Daofuses, but clearly, he was having a hard time just handling Great Zhou King alone. This was unbelievable.
Great Zhou King had instantly propelled himself into the ranks of top Daofuses.
Nearby, the Invincibles around them were also fighting each other. Over ten human Invincibles had charged out of the Celestial Chasm Realm to join the spatial beasts and primordial giants against the other Invincibles.
The battlefield grew even more chaotic.
Great Zhou King smiled, "Are you trying to leave? That's not happening."
That would not happen. Both Tiangu and Heavenly Overseer Marquis were very strong, but they were still prevented from leaving.
Great Zhou King might be smiling, but Soy Bun was in a far worse mood. Out of nowhere, he roared, "Tiangu, you have angered me!"
He had been receiving a one-sided beating from Tiangu throughout the battle. He wasn't Tiangu's match. And finally, he lost his temper. A massive dao manifested above him. The moment it appeared, it started devouring everything around it, including space itself. In his fury, he swung his tiny arms around. Time itself started reversing. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⟡fire.net
Soy Bun started shrinking. His aura started dropping as well. After an indeterminate amount of time, under Tiangu's shocked expression, a certain figure appeared before Soy Bun. A figure with fluttering white robes.
Not far away, Heavenly Overseer Marquis paled with fright.
The face of that figure was indistinct, but it was clad in fluttering white robes.
Soy Bun's strength had dropped considerably, yet he appeared incomparably excited. He shouted, "Culture King's possession! Kill Tiangu!"
Chapter 1695: A Dog's Dao (2)
Hum!
The projection merged into Soy Bun's body. While roaring with laughter, the excited Soy Bun declared, "Tiangu, today is the day I eat you! With the power of Culture King, I'll bite you to death!"
Boom!
As space shattered, Tiangu was prevented from moving. Even if Soy Bun was only using borrowed strength, he was able to obtain an immense amount of strength. At the last moment, Tiangu escaped through shattering the space around him. However, he wasn't able to escape cleanly. The pin on his hair was bitten off. When he reappeared elsewhere with dishevelled hair, a shocked expression covered his face.
Borrowing power from the ancient past!
This was inconceivable.
As of this moment, Soy Bun seemed to carry the power of Culture King himself. With one bite, he forced Tiangu to flee. Then, he turned around to give Heavenly Overseer Marquis a bite instead. Just as Heavenly Overseer Marquis' expression changed, a unique power erupted from Soy Bun's body. The moment that power appeared, the golden page in Heavenly Overseer Marquis' hand started resisting his control.
Taking advantage of the distraction, Great Zhou King attacked Heavenly Overseer Marquis' dao with a character, causing the entire dao to tremble. Before Heavenly Overseer Marquis could flee, his arm was bitten off by Soy Bun, splashing blood everywhere.
Finally, Heavenly Overseer Marquis was able to escape after pushing Soy Bun back with a palm attack. He reappeared beside Tiangu. Both of them had a look of overwhelming shock. They were not alone. The surrounding Invincibles and Daofuses were greatly shocked as well.
Even Great Zhou King was staring at Soy Bun in shock.
Holy shit!
This guy was able to borrow the power from the ancient past! He was able to borrow the power of Culture King!
Far away, Heavenly Overseer Marquis stared at Soy Bun gloomily and said, "So it turns out you specialize in the dao of time reversal, not the dao of consumption.
Soy Bun snorted and said, "What do you know, Luck Spirit? Do you think you know everything just because you used to follow Culture King for a short time? Kill Tiangu and allow me to eat you. If you do that, I'll plead for your leniency from Culture King. Otherwise, I'll eat both of you!"
Tiangu said coldly, "Soy Bun, how long do you think you can maintain this state?"
The process of borrowing power from the past was not a true reversal of time. Rather, it was a reversal of willpower. Soy Bun's willpower must have returned to the past before borrowing power from Culture King. Or perhaps Culture King had sensed Soy Bun's call one day in the past. As a response, he left an imprint here to be harvested by Soy Bun in the future.
This was how the so-called time travel worked. Most of the so-called reactions were essentially the random imprints left behind by these past experts instinctively during the past. The willpower of the person performing the so-called time travel would then harvest these imprints in the future. The experts of the past might not know exactly what their imprints would be used for, but their intuition would urge them to leave something behind.
Soy Bun said, "Not long. But it doesn't matter. When they're done killing, they will come help me eat you all!"
None of them was blind. They might as well be straightforward. A borrowed power wouldn't last long. But it didn't matter. Soy Bun only wanted to keep them occupied long enough for things to deteriorate even further for them. When the battle outside the Human Realm was over, it would be these people's turn to die.
Both Tiangu and Heavenly Overseer Marquis frowned. The Divine Pseudo Emperor was also feeling greatly troubled. He was strong, but his opponent was the Spatial Beast Pseudo Emperor. The damn spatial beast had been blinking everywhere around him, annoying him to no end.
The Phoenix Pseudo Emperor and Primordial Giant King were also evenly matched. At this rate, things would only grow worse for them. Even the strongest two among them, Tiangu and Heavenly Overseer Marquis, were blocked from leaving.
Just then, another change appeared.
A deafening roar resounded.
Somewhere between the Celestial Chasm Realm and Human Realm, a ninth-degree immortal king was nailed onto thin air by Great Qin King's spear. Even as the other two Eternals were madly attacking him, he ignored the accumulating injuries on his body and continued pushing his spear forward before blasting the immortal king apart.
"Who are you to stop me?"
After killing an old fossil, Great Qin King continued fighting madly, as though he had transformed into an undying god of war. Even his two opponents shivered from the madness he was displaying.
"Even if I'm weaker than Old Zhou, the likes of you are unworthy of stopping me!"
Yet again, a ninth-degree Eternal had died.
Yet again, it was Great Qin King.
He seemed to have the habit of killing Eternals while everyone else was in a standoff.
There was no helping it as he was truly crazy in a fight. He would attack as if he was trying to die, ignoring his injuries just to focus on killing his opponents. He would never consider his own survival. He only cared about killing his opponents.
He only needed to do enough to not die during the exchange itself. His bold combat style was the reason why he could still kill even when facing opponents who were supposed to be evenly matched with him.
Even when humanity was holding the upper hand, he was still fighting with the same desperation of someone on the losing side.
Silence descended.
As for Great Zhou King, he cursed.
After thinking about it, Tiangu laughed.
Far away, Great Qin King was surprised to hear the curse.
Great Zhou King continued, "Idiot! That's the tenth immortal king!"
Damn it!
Yes. That was the tenth immortal king to die today.
Su Yu had killed nine in the Human Realm.
Great Zhou King had been paying close attention to the Immortal Realm, but Great Qin King had forgotten everything in his moment of madness.
Just then, the Fate Realm started shaking.
A large face appeared in the sky.
"Has the final war erupted?"
This time, the Fate Pseudo Emperor did not bother showing up anymore.
Outside the Celestial Chasm Realm, Tiangu looked up at the sky and sighed. "I never intended for them to return so early. But you...forced our hand."
He tossed a token into the sky, which vanished with a flicker. In the blink of an eye, a token appeared above the Fate Realm.
"Lower Realm. Assistance. Immortals in danger."
Tiangu's willpower message rippled out of the token.
The face in the sky changed.
Then, the sky started tearing apart, accompanied by flashes of lightning.
Boom!
Rumbling sounds rang out, heard throughout the Myriad Realms.
After a while, two individuals emerged from the opening in the sky. Both were badly burnt, and both were coughing blood. But they ignored their injuries and flew away immediately.
An emergency!
Tiangu had requested their assistance!
They were quite heavily injured, but this was not the time to worry about that. Such injuries were expected since they had descended before the thousand-year limit was up. Follow current novels on N()velFire.net
With the two gone, the Fate Pseudo Emperor appeared with a flicker. He shook his head and sighed, "What's the point? Are they here just to throw their lives away?"
Neither of the two was a peak Daofuse. They had joined hands to descend, sustaining heavy injuries in the process. In truth, there wasn't anything special about the Upper Realm Daofuses.
People like Tiangu had only remained because they were unwilling to leave. Even up in the Upper Realm, they would have ranked much higher than the likes of these two.
Staring far into the distance, the Fate Pseudo Emperor chuckled and muttered, "The immortals are indeed bold. I suppose the celestial chasm race hasn't died for nothing."
The immortals in the Upper Realm had reacted in an entirely different manner than the celestial chams there. Just a message that the immortals were in trouble was enough to cause two immortal Daofuses to take such a huge risk and descend. Meanwhile, the celestial chasm Daofuses hadn't been willing to descend even when their realm was being attacked.
Then again, the Fate Pseudo Emperor also believed that these two were simply here to throw their lives away, even if their courage was respectable.
The Abyss Marquis of the celestial chasm race was actually stronger than these two, but he had only shouted instead of doing anything for real. He had not descended even when Soulvenge died.
Once again, the Fate Pseudo Emperor sighed.
"Culture King...The tenth epoch..."
What should their choice be?
They would be fine if they remained neutral for now. But that would only last until the end of the thousand-year limit. At that point, they would most likely suffer gravely for not picking a side.
"This is even more dangerous than the ninth epoch. After all, this is the last time..."
Once again, he attempted to pry on fate itself. Alas, out of a hundred attempts, ninety-nine attempts would result in humanity's destruction.
Only one of the attempts had informed him that humanity would win and reclaim their past glory.
Because of that one result, the Fate Pseudo Emperor started hesitating. The fate race wasn't weak. But a wrong choice would still cause their extermination. He gazed upon the world with a worried expression. Time was running up. He had to make a choice soon. But it was so much harder to make a choice this time.
***
The entire Myriad Realms were shaking.
The very laws were shaking.
The Daofuses sensed what was coming, including Great Zhou King. He sighed helplessly.
There was no helping it.
Even if Great Qin King hadn't killed that immortal king, the immortals would most certainly lose another immortal king before the end of this battle. After all, Su Yu had killed too many of them at the start of the battle.
He alone had killed nine of the ten dead immortal kings.
And sure enough, the Upper Realm reacted after the death of the tenth immortal king.
With a laugh, Tiangu's voice rang out throughout the Myriad Realms, "Go to the Human Realm. Assist them. Make haste."
Two powerful auras could be sensed emerging from the Fate Realm before moving toward the eastern sector.
The war had erupted.
The two Daofuses could feel it.
They noticed the phenomenon of a dead Daofuse as well. Thus, both were looking solemn as they moved toward the Human Realm.
Outside the Human Realm.
The Nether Pseudo Emperor and the others sensed the two newcomers. They were overjoyed. The Dragon Pseudo Emperor roared in excitement, "Talisman King! Soldier King! Make haste!"
He knew them!
They had survived since the third epoch!
After becoming Daofuses and defeating humanity during the third epoch, they had ascended to the Upper Realm. A lot of Daofuses disliked staying in the Myriad Realms as the laws were harder to sense here. Furthermore, they would be forced to enter deep slumber down here. And the Daofuses who had remained in the Myriad Realms would always be the one to serve as the vanguard against humanity. This had happened each epoch without fail.
But since the immortals were in trouble, the two had decided to descend without any hesitation.
Chapter 1696: A Dog's Dao (3)
In his joy, the Dragon Pseudo Emperor shouted at the Spirit Pseudo Emperor and the Ape Pseudo Emperor, "Hang on! There is still hope! Devil Pseudo Emperor, is the previous Devil Pseudo Emperor really dead? If not, call him out! The Upper Realm can't send too many people down here lest they incur the wrath of the heavens!"
Even with the addition of two Daofuses on their side, it still wouldn't be so easy for them to reverse the situation. They needed more Daofuses from the Myriad Realms.
As for the Upper Realm Daofuses, it was unlikely that more would come as the heavenly laws would react with greater intensity with each intrusion. Nobody else would risk coming down.
The Dragon Pseudo Emperor had barely finished speaking when his tail was bitten off by the female furball. He howled in pain.
This bite was extremely painful. A bite from the female furball would not inflict mere physical damage. The damage extended toward his sea of willpower as well. This, this was far more painful than a regular physical wound.
That was the first sight the two new Daofuses saw right after arriving. Just as they were about to make a move, the book spirit sighed and said, "Why did you come down at this time? Are you here to throw your lives away? You even damaged your daos just to come down here. How foolish."
Instantly, countless nets dropped down on them. At the same time, the tea plant sent numerous branches sweeping toward them. Their expressions changed drastically.
Right at that moment, Tiangu's voice rang out throughout the Myriad Realms.
"Immortals, open the Immortal Transformation Pond fully. Since the divines and devils are unwilling to put more effort into this battle, the immortals will rescue our experts before withdrawing from the Allheaven Battlefield!"
At his order, the Immortal Transformation Pond was activated. Over twenty ancient immortals woke up from their deep slumber. Each was incredibly powerful. Before long, they received their orders.
Tiangu was making one thing clear.
The immortals were going all out.
They had deployed three Daofuses so far. On top of that, they had also deployed nearly a hundred immortal kings.
Of the major races, they had worked the hardest during this battle.
At this point, Tiangu was already tired of the divines and devils. Since they were still unwilling to fight seriously, he might as well withdraw. The immortals had suffered too much for this battle. Withdrawing safely was still possible with three Daofuses among their ranks.
Right at that moment, a sigh rang out. A projection appeared outside the Devil Realm and said, "Brother Tiangu, calm your anger. It's not that we don't want to put more effort, but I have been in deep slumber until moments ago. You need to give me some time to wake up properly, right?"
***
Su Yu was still working hard on his advancement.
When he heard the new voice, he frowned.
Holy shit!
The myriad races sure had a lot of old fossils to spare. More importantly, they had even gained additional helpers from the Upper Realm. Weren't the heavenly laws supposed to punish them for descending before the time was up?
Su Yu had thought that the punishment would be heavy enough to kill, but the two had survived the descent. They had merely suffered some injuries. Yes, their injuries were heavy. But heavily injured Daofuses were still Daofuses.
Would there be no end to his? The source of this content ɪs NovєlFіre.net
Damn it!
Would he be forced to face a never-ending stream of enemies?
Just then, the old turtle's voice rang out, "Since two have descended, would anyone else dare to descend? The barrier of laws has yet to open. The second person to descend will face a stronger punishment. The third to descend will have a very low chance of surviving. As for the fourth to descend, surviving is impossible. Show me. Just how many people can you send down here?"
He looked at the faraway Devil Realm and said, "So you're still alive, Mo Ji. But the injuries on you are still quite severe. Come, then. Let us do battle. Let's see how much longer you can live after a battle with me."
The old turtle sounded incredibly domineering.
"Thirty thousand years ago, you forced your way into the Death Realm and disturbed the Celestial River of Death while I was distracted. I've been wanting to settle this debt with you."
Slowly, an ancient expert appeared outside the Devil Realm.
He said, "Brother Grand Dream, I did that to save my fellow devils. I never intended to offend you. Mo Yue is still young and ignorant. Please forgive his offenses."
Mo Yue was none other than the current Devil Pseudo Emperor.
At the moment, he was in the middle of receiving a heavy beating from the old turtle. Inwardly, he was begging the newly arrived devil to start fighting already.
Just stop talking already! He was dying here!
The old turtle glanced at Su Yu and said, "Focus on your advancement. Don't worry about us. You already did your best. In fact, you did very well. Not even Mo Ji can stop our momentum anymore."
Then, he started moving toward the Devil Realm while blasting the Devil Pseudo Emperor and Nether Pseudo Emperor in the same direction.
He vowed to stop even Mo Ji as well.
Mo Ji, as the previous Devil Pseudo Emperor, wasn't weak. But he had sustained heavy injuries from his intrusion into the Death Realm back then. He might still be suffering from those injuries as he wouldn't have gone missing for so long otherwise.
Even further away, Tiangu snorted. He wasn't even surprised. Mo Yue wouldn't have been picked as the new Devil Pseudo Emperor otherwise. Sure enough, Mo Ji wasn't dead. He sure was patient. It was unknown if he had really only awakened recently or if he had merely been hiding away because he didn't want to join the fight this early.
Mo Ji and the two from the Upper Realm would be enough to get them out of their current predicament.
Tiangu moved his gaze and focused on Jiwu instead.
Jiwu, the Divine Pseudo Emperor, said helplessly, "Don't look at me like that. We really don't have any other Daofuses remaining down here. They would have shown up long ago otherwise."
It was pointless to look at him like that. He was being honest here. Tiangu decided to trust the Divine Pseudo Emperor for now.
"Awaken your slumbering Eternals as well. We need to stop humanity's momentum or we might face destruction before the thousand-year limit is even up.
The Divine Pseudo Emperor did not protest.
A unique power undulated out of him.
Then, several old fossils carrying a thick smell of rot emerged from the Divine Realm. They looked both surprised and confused.
Had the war started?
The tenth epochal war?
Why was it starting so early? They only needed to focus slightly to see that the thousand-year limit had yet to arrive.
Since they had just awakened, they had yet to fully regain their previous strength. It would be quite hard for them to survive for long if they went into battle in their current state. They were doubtful, but they didn't have the luxury to wait since chaos had erupted. Thus, they charged toward the distant Great Qin King, the nearest human expert to them.
When Great Qin King looked at them, he gasped. Oh my! About eight eighth and ninth degree Eternals were heading toward him. Instead of remaining as domineering as ever, he started fleeing.
Some old fossils also emerged from the Immortal Realm before flying toward the Human Realm. Having escalated the war to this level, it wouldn't end before one party suffered enough to not want to fight anymore.
***
Meanwhile, Su Yu was still focused on himself.
Advancement.
Since the old turtle had said that it would be fine, so be it. He believed in the old turtle. He would only worry after the old turtle was beaten back. His aura continued surging as his advancement continued. He was aiming to enter the Sunmoon Realm this time.
With a stomp, he opened a new death tunnel under him.
Instantly, He Tu and more than ten death sovereigns emerged from it. This time, these death sovereigns weren't here as He Tu's friends. Rather, they had been in pursuit of He Tu.
He Tu was luring them around with the death blood of a marquis.
Su Yu ignored them and moved elsewhere before opening another death tunnel with a stomp, releasing Xia Chen and more than ten death sovereigns. Having released the two, Su Yu sent them a voice transmission, "Move toward the Immortal Realm."
"We will be punished if we go too far."
He Tu said, "Are you stupid? If we go far, the heavenly laws will view it as you losing control over us and punish you!"
Su Yu rolled his eyes. Of course he knew that. Hence why he wanted them to do exactly that. He loved tribulations. How was he supposed to milk the heavenly laws without the tribulations?
Since Su Yu was insisting, He Tu and Xia Chen did not hesitate.
Charge!
With death blood on them, they started flying toward the Immortal Realm, followed by over thirty death sovereigns. Deep inside, these death sovereigns were feeling quite nervous.
Holy shit!
Why were there so many big guys here?
Yes, death spirits weren't the brightest, but they weren't brainless. They knew that this wasn't the type of place they should stay. Yes, they had an innate desire to slaughter, but this place was too scary for them.
Yes. Death spirits knew fear as well.
A massive war between the myriad races had erupted here.
More than ten Daofuses were fighting here. And Su Yu had shut the death tunnels they had emerged from. Thus, they were left with no choice but to run off with He Tu. At the very least, He Tu wouldn't be dumb enough to throw his life away, right?
Thus, the death sovereigns made the smart choice and continued following He Tu. There were enough of them that everyone noticed them, but everyone was also too busy to deal with them. The battle was too intense for them to let some death spirits distract them.
In such a manner, the death spirits and the newly emerged immortals started moving in each other's direction. It might look like the death spirits were here to unleash disaster, but they were currently more akin to war refugees.
This damn place was simply too scary. They had to run. Even if they could sense the approaching immortals, they still had to run there. After all, facing a bunch of Invincibles was far better than facing a bunch of Daofuses. They could even vent some of their anger on those immortals.
Not long after they left, a blood tribulation started appearing in the sky. The old turtle looked at the sky and gasped.
How brazen!
Back then, He Tu had done the same. Ultimately, he died. The old turtle had personally delivered the punishment. Why was Su Yu playing the same game again? Was he not afraid of it backfiring on him?
The tribulations had arrived.
If Su Yu couldn't take care of it, even the guardians would be punished.
"Su Yu! Don't mess things up!"
The old turtle started worrying. He could only hope that Su Yu wouldn't do anything stupid. Things weren't that desperate for them yet. There was no need for Su Yu to take such a huge risk.
Su Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, Lord. It will be fine."
Don't worry his ass!
Alas, the old turtle was too busy to do anything. A powerful existence had arrived. After catching Mo Yue, who had just been sent flying by the old turtle, the newcomer looked at Su Yu and sighed, "The youngsters nowadays sure are crazy."
How brazen.
Using the death spirits to deal with the reinforcements from the Immortal Realm while facing the tribulations alone. Was he sure this would work?
Su Yu's answer was a resounding yes. He was already a veteran at this. This wasn't his first time doing something like this.
Chapter 1697: A Dog's Dao (4)
The tribulation this time was far stronger than the one before. It transformed into a red humanoid. With a spear in hand, it stepped forth and declared, "For defying the assembly, a punishment is deserved. Die."
It stabbed its spear at Su Yu. Thɪs chapter is updated by novęlfire.net
Right at that moment, a golden cloud appeared in the sky.
When the cloud dropped down on Su Yu, he pushed it toward the tribulation with his Mark of Civilization.
Boom!
A deafening explosion erupted.
Then, Su Yu released thirty characters into the sky.
The fusion of his two remaining acupoints accelerated.
It was time for him to become a Sunmoon.
And finally, he completed his advancement.
He strode forth, approaching the red humanoid one step at a time. When he was near enough, he opened his mouth and bit down at the humanoid. The red humanoid was very powerful, but it had been weakened by the clash with Su Yu's heavenly reward.
Su Yu was consuming everything. The reward and tribulation continued clashing against each other, releasing power of laws suitable for consumption.
Su Yu wasn't worried that the tribulation would be too strong. As the reward and tribulation clashed, Su Yu started consuming the power of laws leaked by the two to strengthen himself. He had grown far stronger after becoming a Sunmoon.
He felt as though his body had surpassed the strength of ninety million acupoints. Unfortunately, the Heaven Gate could no longer give him as big of a boost in strength, but it also felt like it was on the verge of fully fusing with Su Yu.
At present, it could merely grant Su Yu a twenty percent increase in strength. But that was enough to push Su Yu beyond a hundred million acupoints. Of course, that was still nothing but brute force. Without the power of laws, he wouldn't be able to kill Daofuses.
That much was clear from observing the battle between the Daofuses. He wouldn't be able to land even one attack on them. In fact, he wouldn't be able to even approach them. They could easily flee or seal him with the power of laws.
Brute force would only work when both parties had a similar grasp over the laws. In such a situation, the brute force would serve the break the balance between the two. Otherwise, brute force would be completely useless against them.
This was what Su Yu lacked. But he wasn't too worried. His cultivation level was still low. While consuming the power of laws, he observed his surroundings. His body was still strengthening rapidly.
Just as the power of laws was about to run out, Su Yu started fusing his nine apertures. He was pushing his willpower to the Sunmoon Realm as well.
Rapid advancement would result in an unstable cultivation base, but he was unconcerned. He could always take this time tempering his foundations after this, but today, he wanted to use Fat Ball's blood. He wanted to witness just how powerful Fat Ball was.
Would it be enough to kill a Daofuse or two? His willpower started boiling while his characters started growing. A storm raged in his sea of willpower.
Not far away, the old turtle was roaring. With Mo Ji joining the battle, the old turtle was starting to use even more of his strength. He alone faced three Daofuses. It felt as though the world was ending.
The battle was spreading far and wide.
Under He Tu's lead, the death spirits had encountered the incoming immortals as well. Unsurprisingly, a massive battle erupted between them. After all, the living and dead could never tolerate each other. The death spirits knew their target was He Tu, but they still couldn't resist attacking the living beings nearby. Once they were far enough from the Daofuses, their instincts had taken over yet again.
Even further away, Great Qin King was in the middle of fleeing toward the Divine Realm. Noticing where he was going, the newly arrived divine experts panicked and gave chase as well.
To the west, Great Zhou King and the others were also fighting an intense battle.
With Soy Bun borrowing Culture King's power, he was able to gain an upper hand against Tiangu and the others after joining hands with Great Zhou King. The battle grew more and more intense.
Meanwhile, the book spirit and tea plant were having a relatively easy time. They were facing injured Daofuses, but they had also exhausted quite a lot of strength in their prior fight. Thus, they weren't able to rapidly defeat the two Daofuses.
***
Su Yu observed everything in silence.
This battle would not end before some fear was beaten into these enemies.
Fat Ball's blood essence would be decisive. If it wasn't powerful enough, this battle would drag on for much longer. If it were powerful enough, he would have a chance to secure a decisive victory.
As he continued his advancement, more golden clouds appeared. And as the death spirit continued wreaking havoc in the world of the living, the tribulation grew in strength. The two continued clashing, providing him with more power.
After some time, Su Yu reached saturation in power absorbed. He focused on the three drops of blood essence in his sea of willpower. Fat Ball's blood essence. All three were floating near the golden book.
He was unsure if he was already strong enough to withstand their power. He also wasn't sure just how powerful they were.
Well, he had to try to know.
One of the three landed on the golden book. Instantly, the book shook.
Some words appeared on it.
"Fat Ball...my puppy, cultivates the dao of dogs..."
Su Yu blanked out.
What the fuck was that?
For the very first time, he found that the Time Sage was perhaps a rather flippant person. All her records of the other races sounded rather formal and serious, but why was her record of Fat Ball...so casual? Unlike the blood essence of the other races, Fat Ball's blood essence could be utilized directly without opening a new page.
The dao of dogs?
Screw this!
What was that?
Just what in the world was the dao of dogs?
Su Yu did not know. There was no need to know anymore. Right at that moment, a burst of power flooded his body, nearly shattering his bones in the process.
His sea of willpower roiled madly.
His newly advanced sea of willpower looked as though it was on the verge of bursting apart.
Cracks started appearing on the surface of Su Yu's body.
At the same time, he started bleeding from his seven orifices. He felt as though he would die soon.
This shouldn't be possible!
How could his body fail to withstand Fat Ball's power when his body was already this strong?
Just how powerful was Fat Ball?
And then, a voice rang out in his head.
"The dao of dogs. To bite everything apart."
"..."
Bite everything apart?
No! He was no dog! There was no way he was going to bite anything!
Suddenly, Su Yu blanked out. The world before him seemed to have changed completely. He saw a world enveloped in nets.
A line could be seen running out of each Invincible's head, reaching directly to the sky above.
That was also the case for the Daofuses, but their lines were much thicker.
Laws? Great dao?
Su Yu shook.
So these were Eternals and Daofuses in Fat Ball's eyes. Each of them was connected to a different law. As for Fat Ball, his special ability involved biting these daos apart...no, it would be more accurate to say that his special ability involved biting the connection apart.
At the same time, Su Yu felt like his body was on the verge of bursting apart. He didn't have the luxury to contemplate this matter. For now, he only needed to focus on severing the connection between his enemies and their great daos before killing them.
Fat Ball's blood essence was too powerful. And as of this moment, it was as though Su Yu had turned into Fat Ball himself.
After looking around, Su Yu flew toward the female furball. He had been finding the Dragon Pseudo Emperor an eyesore for quite a while. Since he had promised to kill the damn dragon today, he would do it.
"Worm, face me!"
With a roar, Su Yu dashed forward. Alas, he couldn't control his strength well and went too far, only stopping behind the dragon. When the dragon saw him, the dragon nearly laughed with joy.
Was Su Yu here to die? Why did he move beyond the wall of Daofuses protecting him? Prior to this, the female furball and the other Daofuses had been intentionally positioning themselves in a way that would block every other Daofuse from reaching him.
But now...Su Yu had done something stupid.
As Su Yu had just consumed Fat Ball's blood essence and the power of laws from the heavenly rewards and tribulations, his aura was in chaos. Thus, the Dragon Pseudo Emperor was unable to sense his current strength. Yes, his crisis sense was warning him, but he ignored the warning as well. In a battlefield with so many Daofuses, it was normal for his crisis sense to be triggered repeatedly.
In his joy, he shouted, "Spirit, ape, stop her for a moment!"
This was his best opportunity to kill Su Yu and end the war. As for Su Yu, he was feeling slightly light-headed. He had overshot himself due to his poor control over Fat Ball's power. Fortunately, he had not overshot by much.
When he saw the Dragon Pseudo Emperor moving toward him, he was overjoyed. Well done! He rushed forth to meet the Dragon Pseudo Emperor.
Noticing that Su Yu was rushing toward him instead of fleeing, the Dragon Pseudo Emperor was surprised. A tiny bit of worry sprouted within his mind. What was this?
Had Su Yu...gone mad?
Why wasn't he running?
The Dragon Pseudo Emperor couldn't help but worry. This was too unusual. So unusual that it was worrying.
Right at that moment, a massive dao appeared in Su Yu's vision.
It was shaped like a dragon.
That was the dao the Dragon Pseudo Emperor had fused with. From the shape of the dao, it clearly had great compatibility with the Dragon Pseudo Emperor's dao. Evidently, this was a dao established by a past dragon expert. Perhaps it used to belong to the ancient Dragon Pseudo Emperor.
But when Su Yu looked at the dao...he felt as though it had been bitten before. Was it...bitten by Fat Ball before?
Well, he did not have the luxury to think too much.
Instantly, the two reached each other.
After transforming the Culture Tomb into a saber, Su Yu swung it forward. At the same time, a burst of unique power erupted from Su Yu's body. Above him, the projection of a howling dog appeared.
The dog bit down on the dragon-shaped dao.
Up in the sky, a dragon and a dog clashed.
Crack!
"Roar!"
A deafening dragon's roar rang out in the sky.
The dao had been harmed. At the same time, the Dragon Pseudo Emperor coughed a mouthful of blood. He was greatly alarmed. What was going on? He was not alone. The various Daofuses looked over in astonishment. What was that?
Up in the sky, the dog howled before biting down at the dragon again. With one bite, the dragon was severed.
The dao of biting.
That was Fat Ball's dao, according to the Time Sage.
Instantly, the Dragon Pseudo Emperor started coughing blood unendingly while his aura dropped. Nobody could believe what was happening.
"Impossible...no...this is not possible...you...what are you?"
Boom!
Finally, Su Yu's saber arrived. He was using the Sky Sundering Saber.
A blinding saber illuminated the world.
The sky itself split open in its path.
All around the blade, space itself was rendered into nothingness. As of that moment, that blade was the sole thing in existence. Nothing else mattered. Far away, Great Xia King was blanking out while staring at the blade. Wasn't that his Sky Sundering Saber? Why...did the kid's Sky Sundering Saber seem even stronger than his?
And finally, the blade arrived, cleaving the gigantic dragon into two.
Up in the sky, the dog was still fiercely biting the dao.
Very few people could see that.
Only a small number of people understood that the Dragon Pseudo Emperor's dao had been bitten apart. Even the great dao the Dragon Pseudo Emperor had fused with was being bitten as well. The great dao trembled violently in resistance, but the dog refused to let go.
That was a true great dao. A law existing alongside the natural world.
Only after a long while did the great dao manage to shake the dog off. Right after shaking the dog off, the great dao hurriedly vanished.
Su Yu was unbothered.
A great dao was not something he could lay hands on.
The Dragon Pseudo Emperor might have been cut in two, but he was not dead. At the moment, he was wailing mournfully, "No! Impossible! Su Yu! Who are you? You're not Su Yu! Are you Culture King reincarnated? Are you Culture King reborn? No, that is not possible! How can my dao be broken?"
This was not a result he could accept. He had fallen from the Daofuse Realm. Furthermore, he couldn't even regrow his body after being cut into two by Su Yu. This shouldn't be happening!
"Worm, I told you I'll kill you with my own hands."
With a snort, Su Yu swung his blade again. Once again, the Sky Sundering Blade showed itself. The Dragon Pseudo Emperor hurriedly fled in panic. This wasn't a result he could accept, but he was smart enough to see the trouble he was in.
"No! Su Yu! Don't kill me! You're Culture King! I bow! I bow to you!"
"Culture your mother!"
He was Su Yu!
The blade landed, reducing the dragon's head into mincemeat.
Next, the Mark of Civilization appeared and collected the Dragon Pseudo Emperor's corpse.
Boom!
A massive rumble resounded throughout the Myriad Realms.
The Dragon Pseudo Emperor had fallen.
"Emperor—"
Some of the dragon Invincibles blanked out in shock, but the guardians they were fighting weren't blanking out. With a swing of his staff, Heavendoom turned a dragon into mincemeat.
Not far away, a golden dragon was cut in two by Grandstar.
Even further away, Great Xia King released his version of Sky Sundering Saber toward a white dragon, seemingly trying to compete against Su Yu's Sky Sundering Saber.
The situation had changed massively before anyone could react.
All the dragons started fleeing while roaring in fear.
"Withdraw!"
"Return to the Dragon Realm! Preserve our strength!"
"Our Emperor has fallen!"
The entire Dragon Realm was shaking. Moments later, several dragons so old they were more like bags of bones than dragons emerged from the forbidden zone of the Dragon Realm. One of them roared, "Seal the realm! Do it now!"
"Ancestor, a lot of ancestors are still out there..."
The dragons stared at the collapsing sky in fear.
"Seal the realm!"
A celestial dragon old enough that death qi was leaking out of his body ordered with a gasp, "Ignore everything else! Seal the realm! Now!"
With that order, several dragon Invincibles at the realm entrance transformed into statues with fear and indignation.
While coughing, the old celestial dragon said, "Do not unseal the realm before the thousand-year limit is up! Do not unseal the realm before another dragon Daofuse appears! I hereby offer my body to serve as the wall of the realm!"
With a roar, the celestial dragon transformed into a wall, completely sealing the realm entrance.
Boom!
Crimson rain started falling from the sky. Several dragon Invincibles had sacrificed themselves to seal their realm. All the dragon Invincibles still outside the realm had been abandoned. Those dragons would either survive with their own abilities or die.
They knew they were in trouble the moment their Pseudo Emperor died. They could smell the threat of extinction approaching their race.
***
For a moment, it felt as though the entire Myriad Realms were engulfed in silence.
Everyone was staring at Su Yu in shock. Far away, the pale Heavenly Overseer Marquis muttered, "I...saw that dog..."
Tiangu asked solemnly, "What dog are you talking about?"
He was clueless.
Nearby, Soy Bun was blinking in confusion. That dog...looked familiar. How did Su Yu do this?
"Culture King's...direct line..."
The Heavenly Overseer Marquis continued muttering, but it was unknown if he was talking about Su Yu or Fat Ball.
He had never been so afraid before.
Was Culture King dead or not?
Three Daofuses had died so far.
Everything seemed to have changed.
Chapter 1698: End Of Battle (1)
The Dragon Pseudo Emperor had fallen. Everything had changed.
Three Daofuses had been killed in the span of one day. Humanity had started the tenth epochal war with a seemingly unstoppable momentum.
Heavenly Overseer Marquis was not the only person who was turning pale with fright.
Suddenly, Tiangu's voice rang out, "Withdraw! Everyone, withdraw!"
"Withdraw!"
The Divine Pseudo Emperor roared.
"Withdraw!"
The various Pseudo Emperors roared.
Everything had changed.
With the death of the Dragon Pseudo Emperor, Su Yu had proven himself capable of slaughtering Pseudo Emperors as well. Everything was changed because of that. At this point, the Upper Realm wouldn't be able to send more than one additional Daofuse down here. And it was very unlikely for even one more Daofuse to descend.
As for the Daofuses in the Myriad Realms who had yet to appear, after Su Yu's show of strength, it was unlikely that they would have to courage to appear anymore.
Boom!
The battle outside the Celestial Chasm Realm grew further in intensity.
Both Tiangu and Heavenly Overseer Marquis were attacking madly, doing their best to keep Soy Bun and Great Zhou King busy. The Divine Pseudo Emperor was also fighting madly, collapsing all space around him to ensure that the Spatial Beast Pseudo Emperor wouldn't have the chance to approach him.
***
"Everything has changed."
Fate Realm.
The Fate Pseudo Emperor was greatly shocked as well. The change was too sudden and too massive.
Su Yu had killed the Dragon Pseudo Emperor. Once again, the sky above shook. Sounds of roaring dragons rang out.
"Roar!"
The roars echoed throughout the Fate Realm as lightning started flickering in the sky.
Since two immortals had descended not long ago, the power of the laws covering the sky was far stronger than before. The heavens could tolerate disobedience for one time, even for the second time, but not for the third time.
A third disobedience would be met with a far stronger resistance from the heavenly laws. At this point, even a Daofuse would most likely die in an attempt to descend. And at the fourth disobedience, survival would no longer be possible.
The voice of a furious dragon rang out, "Where is Fateless?"
Fateless. Fate Pseudo Emperor.
Hearing that voice, Fate Pseudo Emperor stepped forth and appeared above a mountain peak. There, he looked up at the sky.
A dragon flickered into existence up in the sky. The dragon was being bombarded by numerous lightning bolts. Noticing that, Fate Pseudo Emperor raised his brow and said, "Celestial Dragon Marquis, that would be unwise."
A voice that was shuddering due to intense pain rang out, "Fateless...what...happened to...my race? Did Long Dou die?"
A Daofuse had died!
The phenomenon resulting from one dead Daofuse was far bigger than what even ten dead Invincibles could produce.
Fate Pseudo Emperor replied, "Yes."
"Humans?"
'Humans."
"Impossible! This is not possible!"
Celestial Dragon Marquis roared, "None of the human experts from the previous epoch was left behind! How is this possible? They don't have the ability to kill Long Dou! It hasn't even been a thousand years since the Allheaven Battlefield was reactivated! With the great dao of humanity in such a badly damaged state, they couldn't have produced a Daofuse so early! Who? Who killed my son?"
The dragon marquis in the sky was furious. The dead Daofuse was his son. As a marquis, he was most certainly someone who was already a Daofuse during the ancient past. The Daofuses who had advanced after the collapse of the ancient past would not receive such titles.
Even if the ancient past was an era of humans, many still viewed these titles as a symbol of glory. Having such a title would indicate that one was super expert of the ancient past. A noble and glorious individual.
Even among fellow Daofuses, most untitled Daofuses were weaker than their titled counterparts.
Fate Pseudo Emperor replied calmly, "The current human lord."
"Human lord?"
The dragon marquis spoke, his voice growing weaker, "Talisman King and Soldier King both descended. Why did...that happen? What was Tiangu doing? What about Jiwu? Mo Ji? What were they doing?"
The dragon marquis was furious. What were those experts doing while his son was busy fighting?
He roared, "Tell me! Which powerful race joined the battle and helped humanity?"
He needed an answer.
After a difficult attempt to descend, he finally regained his calm from the threat of death. He could feel that he might really die if he continued. Perhaps he should withdraw as this could really kill him.
Fate Pseudo Emperor answered calmly, "I can't reveal the races that had participated in this battle. I don't want to be responsible for any new wars up there. My race wishes to stay neutral. I hope you understand my decision, Celestial Dragon Marquis."
"Damn you! How dare you hide things from me?"
Fate Pseudo Emperor laughed and said, "Celestial Dragon Marquis, I understand that you're in a bad mood after losing a son. I can tolerate this once. But...I am the Fate Pseudo Emperor. Are you sure you want to make us your enemies?"
"..."
After a short silence, Celestial Dragon Marquis said, "I was too hasty. The death of Long Dou is a great blow to my race. Fateless, I doubt I can descend. I won't be able to stay in this tunnel for long. Please pass a message to the dragons for me. Tell them..to prioritize surviving before the barrier opens."
"I will do so. I can tell you that the dragons have sealed their realm."
"Thank you."
Celestial Dragon Marquis stopped raging. It was pointless. It also wouldn't be wise to offend the fate race too much.
Fate Pseudo Emperor thought about it and asked, "Celestial Dragon Marquis, mind telling me if there are any human experts left up there?"
This tunnel couldn't be opened at any time. And not just anyone could transmit messages through it. Only when a race lost too many experts at once would the tunnel open shortly from the intense shakings of the great daos.
The fate race did not have ten Invincibles to spare. Thus, they couldn't contact their people in the Upper Realm easily. He was rather clueless about the current situation up there. As for the two Daofuses that had descended earlier, they had not spoken much before leaving.
Since Celestial Dragon Marquis had asked for a message to be delivered to the dragon race, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to refuse to give this information. After a slight hesitation, he answered, "Yes, but very few of them are left. The myriad races have been hunting them for years. Almost all of them are dead."
So there were still some around.
Fate Pseudo Emperor couldn't help but be impressed by the tenacity of humanity. They had yet to die off even after being hunted for so many years.
"So humanity has yet to be wiped out..."
Celestial Dragon Marquis hurriedly added, "It will happen soon. The tenth epoch will be their final epoch. When the thousand-year epoch arrives, we will exterminate humanity. Even if those old fogeys could survive, humanity would not survive without enough people to ensure the continuation of their race."
At this point, the dragon marquis had withdrawn from the tunnel. Thus, his voice was growing indistinct. He asked one final question, "What is the name of the current human lord?"
"Su Yu! I'll remember that name."
Boom!
With a rumble, the dragon marquis vanished from the sky.
Su Yu. That was a name he would remember.
The human lord who had killed his son.
Fate Pseudo Emperor looked away. With the withdrawal of the Celestial Dragon Marquis, it was unlikely that anyone else would descend from above.
"So there are still some human survivors up there. It has been so many years...yet they are still around..."
Fate Pseudo Emperor shook his head. He wasn't sure if those humans were simply that strong or if the myriad races had started to go against each other again after seeing humanity weakened.
However, it was likely that there really weren't that many of them left. About four hundred years ago, humanity lost a large number of Invincibles. Even then, no human experts had appeared in the realm tunnel. He gazed into the distance, wondering if more Daofuses would die today.
***
Would more Daofuses die today?
Nobody could answer that question.
The experts of the various races were fighting with desperation to return to their respective realms.
Withdrawal was their sole option here. The source of thɪs content is NoveIꜰire.net
Inside their realms, anyone not from their races or the human race would be subject to the suppressive force.
Humanity in itself did not have that many experts. Great Zhou King was a Daofuse. Su Yu was strong enough to kill Daofuses. Even so, humanity would not have the courage to invade a realm with a Daofuse so easily.
The experts of the other races might take the chance to invade the Human Realm when the two were out invading other realms. Thus, they would be forced to stay put. The myriad races had reached the same conclusion without any discussion. Thus, they started withdrawing while fighting.
However, the Spirit Pseudo Emperor and Ape Pseudo Emperor were being subjected to massive pressure.
They were facing the Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor, Hou Pseudo Emperor, and female furball. Elsewhere, the Talisman King and Soldier King were being suppressed by the book spirit and tea plant. If it weren't for the fact that the tea plant still wasn't familiar with the manipulation of laws, the two would have died by now. Nevertheless, it was undeniable that the two were losing.
As for the old turtle, he was still fighting the three Daofuses. For these Daofuses, withdrawing wasn't an easy task.
Meanwhile, Su Yu was welcoming the reward for killing a Daofuse alone. From how brightly the golden cloud was shining, it was clear the cloud contained a large amount of power. The golden cloud started descending upon Su Yu.
Su Yu's body had been badly damaged by the pressure of bearing Fat Ball's power. The moment he received the heavenly reward, his body started recovering. His sole acupoint also started growing at a rapid pace. Inside his sea of willpower, the sea roiled madly as the sea of willpower started expanding.
After thinking for a bit, Su Yu directed a large amount of the power from his reward into his Mark of Civilization. He was using the reward to strengthen the book. At the same time, he was also strengthening the culture and radiance characters.
The Mark of Civilization was still not too strong at the moment. The projections it could produce were only peak Sunmoons at most, while the weaker ones were still stuck at the early Sunmoon Realm. In fact, the Mark of Civilization would probably fail to handle even an Invincible alone.
However, Su Yu understood that it wouldn't remain weak forever. Back then, the Time Sage had forged the Book of Time to create her very own Myriad Realms. Thus, the Mark of Civilization would most certainly be very helpful in the comprehension of laws upon reaching a certain point.
Su Yu had grown too fast. Thus, his comprehension of the myriad laws was too lacking. Thus, further growth in his cultivation would only contribute minimally in terms of strength. In that case, he might as well strengthen his Mark of Civilization instead.
Chapter 1699: End Of Battle (2)
In the blink of an eye, a new golden stripe appeared on the book.
142 golden stripes.
143 golden stripes.
144 golden stripes.
At that point, the book was only one stripe away from becoming a divine weapon. But a divine weapon was not something that could appear easily.
Even in the entirety of Myriad Realms, there were only a few known divine weapons in existence. The Heavenly Hunt Index was one. The Source Return Blade was one as well. Those were the only two Su Yu knew of.
Done with strengthening the weapon, Su Yu shifted his attention elsewhere. It was unlikely that he could push his book into a divine weapon so easily, so he did not bother worrying about it at this time. Thıs content belongs to novel✦fire.net
Instead, he returned his attention to the battlefield. The power of Fat Ball was slowly fading from his body. Killing a Daofuse had greatly exhausted the power he had received from the one drop of blood essence he had used. He was left with only two drops of Fat Ball's blood essence.
At the moment, the various experts were still fighting while fleeing.
Boom!
Invincibles were dying left and right, filling the sky with phenomena. So many of them were dying that some might even be humans. Su Yu did not have the luxury to focus on the identities of the dead.
Instead, he was busy picking a suitable target to kill. Since they were all fleeing so desperately, he had to make his choice fast. This might be his last chance to kill them for a while.
After giving it some thought, he shot in the direction of the Spirit Pseudo Emperor and Ape Pseudo Emperor without any hesitation. It was pointless to kill the immortal Daofuse. There were simply too many experts in the immortal race. They would remain dangerous as long as Tiangu remained.
As for the two newly arrived immortal Daofuses, he couldn't be bothered to deal with them either. Perhaps keeping the immortals strong might even cause the divines and devils to be more wary of them. On the other hand, killing the Spirit Pseudo Emperor and Ape Pseudo Emperor would throw their respective races into chaos. Without their Daofuses around, they wouldn't have the courage to further interfere in the future battles.
After losing their Daofuses, their Invincibles might lose the courage to even leave their realms. Since humanity had produced a Daofuse, all races must be on high alert. Any carelessness could very well result in the extinction of their races. He consumed the second drop of blood essence.
Noting Su Yu's approach, the Spirit Pseudo Emperor felt a chill creep up her spine. She knew that she had caught Su Yu's attention.
"All as spirit, open!"
In Su Yu's vision, the great dao above the Spirit Pseudo Emperor started shaking the moment she shouted. Suddenly, everything around her came alive. The bamboo in the Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor's hands started struggling and resisting its master.
As a result, the Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor was forced to focus on suppressing the bamboo instead of attacking the Spirit Pseudo Emperor. That was a peak heaven weapon. There was no way he would allow it to leave him so easily.
That was not all. Space itself seemed to have come alive as well. A tunnel connecting straight toward the Spirit Realm appeared behind her. Things were getting too dangerous for these Daofuses to keep holding back. Each of them was fighting desperately.
The Ape Pseudo Emperor was fighting just as hard. He instantly grew into a gigantic ape before tearing the space in front of him apart. His staff was tossed aside before exploding. That was a heaven weapon. And it had been detonated just like that. He was using the explosion to buy himself more time. No treasure was worth more than his own life. He was doing everything he could to escape.
Daofuses were at risk of dying in their very first battle of the tenth epoch. Nobody had expected this.
"Woof!"
Just then, Su Yu attacked. A dog appeared in the sky and pounced on Spirit Pseudo Emperor's dao.
Above the Spirit Pseudo Emperor, a dao appeared. That was the dao of nature. Flowers, plants, mountains, rivers, seas, and lakes could be seen on it. And on that great dao, an incredibly beautiful red flower bloomed.
The red flower was the Spirit Pseudo Emperor's personal dao, in the process of fusing the great dao of nature.
The Spirit Pseudo Emperor was attempting to flee through a spatial tunnel, but as the dog arrived, she felt an intense sense of crisis. She did not dare to waste any time and stepped directly into the spatial tunnel before it could stabilize. But right at that moment, a powerful pulling force appeared behind her.
"I haven't eaten anyone!"
It was the female furball. Yes. The female furball. Her mood had worsened compared to earlier. Even after spending an entire day fighting, she had not managed to eat anyone. She didn't even manage to eat the dead Dragon Pseudo Emperor.
And now, the Spirit Pseudo Emperor was trying to flee right in front of her. Were they looking down on her? They knew how to struggle desperately, but she could do the same!
A gigantic furball appeared in the sky. Her mouth opened wide and released a powerful pulling force, as though it was a black hole. When Su Yu looked up, he saw a dao above the female furball as well.
It wasn't too big. However, it didn't feel like a fused dao. Rather, it felt like an original dao. Su Yu wasn't sure if that was a dao she had opened herself or she herself was a sentient dao. The female furball's dao wasn't too powerful, but it was uniquely hers.
Su Yu did not spend too much time looking at the female furball's dao. Just then, the dog reached the Spirit Pseudo Emperor's dao and bit down at it. As for Su Yu, he threw numerous punches forward, only to be blocked by countless mountains that had manifested out of thin air. However, Su Yu's target was the spatial tunnel, not the Spirit Pseudo Emperor.
The pass character activated, teleporting Su Yu's punches right through the mountains and straight toward the spatial tunnel.
"Don't even dream of running!"
As the Spirit Pseudo Emperor stepped into the unstable tunnel, it started shaking. And when Su Yu's punches arrived, it collapsed. At the same time, the powerful pulling force was still dragging her back. A look of despair covered her eyes as she said mournfully, "The humans were the ones who had treated my people as mere materials! The humans were the ones who were too overbearing! Do we, spirits born of nature, not have the right to live?"
She wailed, "That book, that plant, and even these soul devourers, all of them are spirits! As fellow spirits, why are you helping the tyrants? The current human lord won't kill you because he requires your help. But when humanity regains its power, you will all be turned into materials as well!"
Was there right or wrong here?
No.
Yes. That was indeed what the ancient humans had done. Su Yu knew it must have been the case.
But was he wrong?
He did not think so. He, too, was seeking survival. The survival of humanity.
The Spirit Pseudo Emperor was a Daofuse who had joined the battle with more than ten Eternals, nearly causing humanity's defeat when she appeared.
In wars between races, there was no right or wrong.
Of the various races in existence, nobody was right. And nobody was wrong. All of them were simply fighting for their respective races.
The immortals might be annoying, but they had also done all that for the sake of their race. They wanted to conquer the Myriad Realms. But since the humans had done so once, it was only fair that the immortals wanted to do the same. There was no villain in this story.
It was normal for a race to want to lead. And strength would determine whether that ambition could be fulfilled.
For Su Yu, Tiangu was a villain. For the immortals, Tiangu was a hero.
Thus, Su Yu remained completely unaffected even after hearing Spirit Pseudo Emperor's words. Up in the sky, the dog attacked the red flower madly.
As for Su Yu himself, he teleported forward before swinging the Culture Tomb as a saber.
One acupoint, one technique.
One acupoint, one cultivation method.
Upon reaching the Sunmoon Realm, all his acupoints had fused into one. There was no longer any need for him to use any specific cultivation method or technique to boost the prowess of his attack.
But he was still using the Sky Sundering Saber because he was already used to it.
The attack missed. Right at that moment, a certain fragrance entered his nose. His entire body started shaking intensely. That fragrance was not poisonous. It was tonic, and it was giving his body an excessive amount of vigor.
Even his sea of willpower was being boosted excessively by the fragrance. Even the power of Fat Ball in Su Yu's body was boosted. Unable to withstand such power, his body started tearing apart. This was a demonstration of how excessive tonic could turn toxic.
The pale Spirit Pseudo Emperor continued fleeing after slowing Su Yu down. No Daofuse was a fool. And no Daofuse was a weakling. Having sensed that even the strength of her dao was not a match for the current Su Yu. Thus, she could only flee. To do that, she had to give him such a big boost of strength that he lost control ver his own power.
No matter how strong he was currently, he was using borrowed power. It was far easier to lose control over borrowed power. Yes. The Spirit Pseudo Emperor could sense that Su Yu was using borrowed power.
If they were fighting alone, this trick might have really worked. Unfortunately for the Spirit Pseudo Emperor, Su Yu was not alone. Right at that moment, the female furball's devouring force reached its peak, causing even space itself to shatter.
Boom!
The Spirit Pseudo Emperor had barely moved when the space around her collapsed. Behind her, the female furball roared and bit down at her.
"Eat you!"
The female furball roared.
At the same moment, Su Yu recovered from his loss of control. He was quite shocked, but he understood that this was the disadvantage of using borrowed power. The same trick wouldn't have worked on the white dog himself.
Sure enough, only his own strength was more reliable. Because he was using borrowed power, the Spirit Pseudo Emperor had nearly escaped.
"Since you enjoy boosting my power, I suggest that you die. That will give me an even bigger boost."
Boom!
Su Yu swung his saber again. At the same time, he roared and activated the golden book. As the book shook, numerous lines shot out of its many pages. Far away, Mo Ji's head snapped in Su Yu's direction. Even further away, the Divine Pseudo Emperor looked at Su Yu as well.
Several daos seemed to have appeared above Su Yu's head.
Since he was using borrowed power here, he might as well borrow from more sources.
Divine Possession.
Devil's Descend.
Racial abilities.
Yes. He was using the racial abilities of other races. At this point, he could already understand how this worked. Having consumed so many experts of the various races, the Book of Time had formed a basic version of the daos of the myriad races. That was the origin of all the racial abilities Su Yu had used.
It felt as though Su Yu had stolen the power from the great daos of the two races. That was why the two top experts of those races sensed it the moment he activated the two racial abilities.
Mo Ji, who was fighting the old turtle, paled and muttered, "Time Sage!"
He had just awakened from his deep slumber, but he could see what Su Yu was doing with a single glance.
Su Yu had Time Sage's inheritance as well! He had the ability to steal from the great daos of the various races! For the very first time, Su Yu could clearly feel what the Book of Time was doing. It was stealing from the various great daos.
The Time Sage was scary indeed. Another burst of strength erupted from inside Su Yu's body as he transformed into wind before shooting forward again.
Boom!
That seemed to be the final straw to break the camel's back as the Spirit Pseudo Emperor was finally forced back into her true form: a red flower. The moment she transformed back into her true form, an intense fragrance spread everywhere.
As for the dao above her, it could no longer flee. It was torn into pieces by the fierce white dog. The moment the red flower was ripped apart, the great dao it adhered to fled before the dog could pounce on it as well.
The Spirit Pseudo Emperor started trembling violently. Her aura started dropping. With boundless despair, she wailed.
"Even if I die, I won't be your food!"
Boom!
The red flower exploded.
Boom!
