Tribulation of Myriad Races - Chapter 2078: Drama King (2)

Chapter 2078: Drama King (2)

Immortal Realm.

Tiangu was staring blankly. Just what the fuck was going on?

Why was the hou race suddenly exterminated? And when he focused on the dao, his expression changed. Hou Pseudo Emperor had really been killed!

What in the world? Was the hou race really wiped out?

***

Primordial Giant Realm.

With a heavy expression, Primordial Giant King said, “He has lost his mind. He might have been defeated, but he is still the tyrant of the Myriad Realms. Anyone disobeying him now will still suffer for it.”

Even after his recent defeat, the three major races still didn’t dare to provoke him. The rumors of his massive defeat in the Upper Realm changed nothing. The hou race was one of the earliest supporters of Su Yu, yet they had been wiped out just because they were unwilling to migrate with him.

A figure appeared beside the Primordial Giant King and solemnly said, “He’s too crazy. Sure enough, consecutive victories can get to someone. A single defeat is enough to drive this madness into him. There is no need for us to provoke him right now.”

They had been quite unhappy after Su Yu forced them to hand over four assembly tokens. But now, they had decided to forget the matter. Su Yu had gone completely mad. Even the hou race had been wiped out just because they were unwilling to withdraw with him.

Once again, Su Yu’s mad voice resounded in the air.

“Listen well, everyone. I will be back. Watch your backs. Don’t do anything stupid. I will be taking over the Death Realm for now, but be careful! I can still enter your realms from the Death Realm!

“Hahaha!

“Remember! From now on, the Death Realm is mine! Be careful with the death qi you’re storing in your realms. I’ll be keeping a close eye on you from down below!

“Through the death qi in your realms, I’ll determine the coordinates of your realms and wipe you out just like how I wiped out the dragons, phoenixes, apes, and kunpengs! Hahahaha! Remember your inferiority, fools!”

His voice reverberated everywhere.

Countless experts were shocked.

What?

Had those races been exterminated? How was that possible? But they did not recall seeing an attack on the four mentioned races. Wait, what was that again? Attacking from the Death Realm?

No wonder nobody was able to notice anything. Noticing that no response was coming from the four mentioned realms, the expressions of the various experts changed.

***

Immortal Realm.

Tiangu’s face fell. Su Yu could attack the various realms from the Death Realm. The death qi in these realms served as the marker for him to determine the exact coordinates of these realms.

He hurriedly issued an order, “Remove all the death qi in the Immortal Realm!”

Madness. Absolute madness.

He had nearly forgotten about this. Since Su Yu had plunged the entire Celestial Chasm Realm into the Death Realm, it was clear he would be moving to the Death Realm soon. But he could still ascend to the various realms through death tunnels.

He even knew what Su Yu was doing. Su Yu was reminding them of what he could do. If they kept their death qi, he would be able to attack them at any time through the death qi. Clearly, he was trying to force everyone to destroy their collection of death qi, making it impossible for anyone to attack him in the Death Realm.

Even knowing that, the various races had no choice but to obediently play along. Su Yu was a lunatic. Nobody could guess what he was capable of doing.

Just then, Su Yu roared again, “Start tracking the various collections of death qi and lock onto the coordinates. Hahaha! How curious. How many races are actually hiding a large amount of death qi in their realms?”

With a wave of his hand, a rift was torn in the air. Then, a large amount of death qi emerged out of it.

The powerful aura of South Heavenly King could be felt from beyond the rift.

Shortly after, South Heavenly King’s voice rang out, “Heed my command! Start tracking the collections of death qi and note down the corresponding coordinates. Keep an eye on the heavenly laws while you’re doing that.”

At that, Su Yu laughed and said, “Don’t worry about the heavenly laws. I have sixty assembly tokens with me. That’s enough to suppress the tribulations.”

Boom!

At that, numerous powerful death spirit auras surged into the sky.

The myriad races were shaken.

Death spirits.

Countless death spirits had stepped out of the rift. A large number of Daofuses among them. This was way too terrifying.

***

“Remove all our death qi! Now! Don’t waste any time!”

The same cry rang out in the various realms. They couldn’t afford to delay. The various races had the habit of collecting death qi to stay connected with the Death Realm. With the various ancient cities spread across the Allheaven Battlefield, death qi wasn’t even that hard to collect.

The major races, in particular, would constantly open death tunnels and communicate with the death spirit experts through their collected death qi. Talisman King himself had entered the Death Realm multiple times to see East Heavenly King through this method. But now, everyone was greatly alarmed.

They started destroying their collected death qi in panic. They could no longer afford to keep the death qi in their realms. Death spirits were extremely sensitive to death qi. The moment the corresponding coordinates of their realms were determined, the death spirits could very well attack them straight from the Death Realm. That was way too scary.

***

The divines, immortals, and devils were destroying their collected death qi as well.

They knew that this was Su Yu’s trick to remove their death qi collection, but so what if they knew? Was the threat not real? The moment a death tunnel was open below their realm, countless death spirits would stream into their realm. What would be the consequences of that?

The minor tunnels they used to open for communication were manageable. But a major tunnel that could accommodate the passage of countless death spirits would be disastrous. This was not a risk they could afford to take.

***

Outside the Hou Realm.

Su Yu was smiling.

He had removed all his loose ends. The fake destruction of the Lower Realm hous was performed for the sake of the Upper Realm hous. With only one tier-two Daofuse, the Upper Realm hous were too weak. The moment news of his withdrawal reached the Upper Realm, the hou race would be the first to suffer.

The myriad races wouldn’t even hesitate to act. What was there to fear from a race with only one tier-two Daofuse? In fact, they would gladly do it to set an example out of the hou race. As for whether the myriad races would really fall for this performance…

It did not matter.

The dao had indeed snapped, and the phenomena had appeared in the sky. Everyone saw that. And not a single hou would remain in the Hou Realm. After leaving some blood and flesh behind, the act would look even more convincing.

At that point, the myriad races would no longer feel like dealing with the Upper Realm hous. With the removal of the collected death qi, Su Yu didn’t even need to worry about any surprise attacks from beyond anymore.

Sure, it was unlikely that this would completely empty the Lower Realm of death qi, but very few would remain after this.

And without the thirty-six ancient cities around, the myriad races wouldn’t be able to gather enough death qi to open a death tunnel strong enough to support the passage of top experts.

As for the weak tunnels they could open with their remaining death qi, Su Yu had nothing to fear from these weak tunnels. No weakling could survive a trip to the Death Realm. Moving forward, it would be much harder for those from the world of the living to reach the world of the dead.

Of course, South Suppression Marquis was an exception to this as he had received a large amount of death qi from Su Yu.

However, Su Yu doubted he would use it for no reason. There were only two possible reasons for him to use the death qi in his hands. Firstly, he could use it to call Su Yu over to deal with Hundred Battle King. Secondly, he could use it to provide Hundred Battle King with a way to go after Su Yu. But if Hundred Battle King were to enter the Death Realm, Su Yu would teach him a lesson he could never forget.

Everyone was busy destroying the death qi they had collected. That wasn’t too difficult a task as one only needed heavenly source qi to do it. As the death spirits roamed the Allheaven Battlefield, South Heavenly King was actively collecting the death qi in their path, not leaving anything for the myriad races.

After a while, the death spirits returned to Su Yu. South Heavenly King said, “Most of the death qi out here has been removed. Not much death qi can be sensed from the three major realms, so it is likely they have removed their death qi as well. Unless some of them are doing a very good job at hiding their death qi, I doubt there is much left out here.”

Su Yu laughed and said, “These fellows must be terrified that I would go full crazy and attack through a death tunnel. I doubt any of them want to see that happen. Since you’re done here, return.”

The death spirits started retreating through the tunnel Su Yu opened under South Heavenly King’s lead. And when all the death spirits were gone, Su Yu withdrew his death qi and shut the tunnel.

Done with that, Su Yu laughed and said, “A bunch of cowards. I expected some of you to be brave enough to bet on this being a bluff. Why are you admitting defeat so easily?”

“Trash. Hahaha!”

Su Yu vanished with a flicker, only leaving his laughter behind.

***

Primordial Giant Realm.

Primordial Giant King sighed and said, “He’s too arrogant. This might not be a good thing for him. He can’t stay in the Death Realm forever. Is it really a good idea to be so arrogant when his withdrawal is temporary?”

Su Yu was acting as though he no longer had anything to fear up here, but was he so sure he wouldn’t return in the future?

The figure beside Primordial Giant King said, “This isn’t a bad thing for us. With this final act of his, the myriad races will remain calm for some time. This saves a lot of trouble for His Majesty after his return. There is no longer any need for him to deal with the myriad races after returning.”

After this little episode, it was likely that the myriad realms would remain inactive until the opening of the Upper Realm. It wasn’t like Su Yu had locked himself away. He had merely severed access for everyone else, but he definitely had his own way of returning.

One ought to admit that this withdrawal had indeed placed Su Yu in an advantageous position. Just by existing, Su Yu acted as a deterrent for the myriad races, including the three major races. None of them would dare to do anything rash.

Primordial Giant King nodded. He said nothing, but he had to admit that Su Yu was indeed an incredible individual. If he hadn’t overextended himself and ascended to the Upper Realm before he was ready, he could have formed an even stronger power base in the Lower Realm.

If he were given centuries, or even decades, he could have formed a force powerful enough to stand against the other major forces.

Primordial Giant King was also rejoicing in Su Yu’s defeat. Otherwise, Su Yu could very well grow into the strongest obstacle in Hundred Battle King’s path. After all, Su Yu was also known for his pettiness. He was not someone to be provoked lightly.

At that thought, Primordial Giant King said, “I doubt Su Yu is happy that he’s being forced to withdraw from the Human Realm. We still need to be wary of his revenge even after His Majesty’s return.”

“Him?” The figure chuckled, “Taking revenge against His Majesty? That would be suicidal…”

“Don’t underestimate him!” Primordial Giant King frowned and said, “Even after a major defeat, he still has the Death Realm under his control. You saw it. You saw all those powerful death spirits serving him. He is a tyrant of the Death Realm.” “The Death Realm has a terrible environment, but it is also an excellent defensive position. Never underestimate Su Yu.”

Primordial Giant King was experienced enough to know that they couldn’t afford to underestimate Su Yu. He was no pushover. Even now, the Primordial Giant King couldn’t stop worrying about Su Yu’s potential return in the future. That would be a pain to deal with.
