Tribulation of Myriad Races

"Go!"

Outside Great Xia City, Su Yu was moving away rapidly on his horse.

He could only apologize. Once again, he had to leave Great Xia. He was unable to change anything. He couldn't participate in the things they were doing. He couldn't even meet them. Too many eyes were on them. He was too weak.

Had he ever regretted his decision of joining them? Never. Perhaps he had been somewhat unwilling in the beginning, but he had learned numerous secrets, the disassembly method, memory extraction method, and blood essence production method from Bai Feng.

Chen Yong had gifted him the mythic destruction beast skull and guided him on his path of cultivation. Because of these people, he did not regret it.

There was also Liu Wenyan's many years of guidance and Hong Tan's permission for him to make use of those locked beasts as he wished. He couldn't forget any of them. He couldn't forget what they had given him.

Before he left Great Xia previously, Chen Yong had given him the Character Technique Stele. Only now did he realize that Chen Yong must have planned to leave at that time. Both his teacher and junior brother weren't around. Thus, he had decided to give the final thing holding him back to Su Yu.

Others wanted the stele as well, but he would never hand it over to them. Su Yu did not care about the stele, but he had given it to Su Yu. For some people, that stele was a priceless treasure. For Chen Yong, that was probably a final spark of hope. Su Yu would remember the six months that he had spent in Great Xia City for the rest of his life.

Su Yu's next stop was Great Jin. There, he would remove the stench of blood from his body before leaving for the Allheaven Battlefield. He wanted to carry out a slaughter. But he still couldn't. He was still in the Human Realm. He couldn't act without any inhibitions. Because he was Su Yu. He was still in seclusion. He was still in Great Ming.

At that thought, he increased his speed and rode through the night. Not far ahead of him, a merchant caravan was resting beside the road. Their bonfire shone brightly in the darkness of night. Su Yu continued moving rapidly, rushing past them without stopping.

Someone from the group complained, "Where did this inexperienced youth come from? Why is he rushing through the night? Is he not afraid of attracting the attention of demonic beasts? Even without demonic beasts around, he also needs to worry about cultists and bandits. He didn't bother to stop even after we called out to him. We will probably encounter his corpse on the road tomorrow."

An experienced traveler with a cigarette in his mouth looked at Su Yu's departing back and smiled, "Don't worry about him. Perhaps our path tomorrow will be a lot smoother. Nobody will rush through the night in the wilderness without some confidence in their strength."

"But that guy looked quite young..."

"All experts look young."

"He's riding a cloudrush horse. How can he be an expert?"

"You never know. Have you ever seen a cloudrush horse capable of moving so fast it was as good as flying?"

"..."

After talking for a bit, they all threw the matter to the back of their minds. The wilderness was a dangerous place. Out here, it was never smart to meddle in the affairs of others. It was also a bad idea to get tangled with lone travelers. After all, most lone travelers were also powerful individuals.

***

Not far ahead.

Su Yu was still moving at a rapid pace. Further away from him, a wolf howled. When the horse heard the howl, it appeared slightly fearful. Su Yu merely snorted and released his battle character, instantly eliminating the fear in the horse. In fact, the horse grew even more energetic as it ran even faster than before.

Spluuurt!

A wolf jumped out but before it could pounce on Su Yu, it was smashed into mincemeat by a hammer strike. Next, a clump of fire rose and burned the remains of the wolf into nothingness.

A gust of wind blew through. Nothing remained. Only the tiny bit of bloodstain on the ground indicated that something had bled here earlier.

Su Yu did not even turn back to look at the dead wolf. He continued moving onward. The Allheaven Prefecture was located in the northern region of the Human Realm. Thus, one only needed to travel to the extreme north to reach that place.

There, one could enter the Allheaven Battlefield. Great Jin was in the middle of this route. It wasn't too far from Great Zhou. At this speed, he would be able to reach Great Jin in two or three days. And if everything went smoothly, he would reach the Allheaven Prefecture in about five days.

But apart from the various prefectures, the Human Realm was also filled with large swathes of untamed lands. These were the places where demonic beasts, bandits, and cultists gathered.

Things were better around Great Xia and Great Qin as there were very few cultists near these prefectures. The few that were there would normally maintain a low profile. But that was not the case for all prefectures. Some prefectures did not care too much about the cultists near their territories.

As long as the cultists did not bother them, these prefectures would leave the cultists alone. Because of this, the areas around some prefectures were more dangerous than others. Generally, being a Skysoar was enough for one to travel safely between prefectures. But there were some dangerous situations not even Skysoars could survive.

***

The darkness of the night did not reduce Su Yu's speed.

He did attract some attention traveling through the wilderness, but when they saw him traveling alone at night, the more cautious ones gave up on making a move against him. Most of the time, lone travelers would either be lunatics, powerful individuals or inexperience fools.

Apart from the third possibility, the first two possibilities were troublesome to provoke.

In fact, even inexperienced fools would generally be not too weak as well. For these bandits making a living in the wilderness, they would rather target traveling merchants than these lone travelers. It just wasn't profitable enough.

Su Yu continued heading north. At dawn, he reached the border of a neighboring prefecture.

Great Wu.

This was a prefecture next to Great Xia. Back then, it was a powerful prefecture. After Great Wu King's death, they had declined considerably in strength. There was no helping it since they no longer had the backing of an Invincible.

After all, the loss of their own Invincible was the same as the loss of confidence. This was also the ancestral home of Wu Lan's family. They had only been in Great Xia for about a hundred years.

This was probably where Chen Yong had killed someone not long ago. No. Chen Yong was definitely the killer. His whereabouts were still unknown. Among the information Xia Huyou had given Su Yu, there was a list of individuals who might be Chen Yong's next target.

The moment Su Yu stepped through the border into the land of Great Wu, an arrow shot over. The source qi around it was incredibly powerful, creating a loud rumble that could be heard from far away.

Su Yu indifferently reached out and grabbed the arrow before casually tossing it back where it came from. A few hundred meters away, a Skysoar's expression changed as he hurriedly tried to dodge the arrow. But before he could move, a noiseless hammer descended and crushed his sea of willpower. Next, the arrow pierced through his head.

Su Yu scanned his surroundings coldly before snorting and riding off on his horse.

Not long after he left, several individuals appeared. They gathered around the dead Skysoartt and checked the body before gasping in alarm. "How cruel. Is this the Soul Expanding Art? Destroying a sea of willpower with one hit. I don't think we should provoke this Cui Lang guy. He's clearly a merciless killer as well. He only has a bounty of one thousand contribution points. It's not worth it. He might even win against Cloudbreaches."

"Have weaponsmiths always been so strong?"

"Don't look down on weaponsmiths. They can be as strong as character masters in combat. Cultural researchers have too many trump cards, making them difficult opponents. Let's withdraw. Don't lose your life for the sake of a thousand contribution points."

"..."

After saying that, they withdrew from the area. Cui Lang was now a person of considerable fame. Thus, the cult had finally issued a bounty for his head. With the merge of the various sects of the cult, their internal bounty listings had also merged into one. Cui Lang wasn't ranked too highly on the ranking, but a thousand contribution points was still a decent reward. Thus, some people intended to earn some money through this bounty. But clearly, this was not worth it.

The bounty was too low for someone with his level of strength. That was the market price to kill an early-stage Cloudbreach, but it was clearly not enough for a genius weaponsmith like Cui Lang.

While they were moving away, they did not forget to gossip about the famous names they had been hearing. One of them said, "It's pretty pointless to kill Cui Lang. In terms of profit, Su Yu is worth a lot more compared to his level of cultivation. His bounty has reached eight hundred thousand points. That is too scary. If it reaches a million, it will reach the level of top-tier Sunmoons."

"Yeah. But who would dare to try this? Too many Sunmoons had died because of him. That guy is basically a bearer of ill luck."

They flew rapidly, but before long, one of them frowned. Immediately after that, someone flickered into existence before them. At the same time, their surroundings whirled and warped, alarming all of them. When everything settled, they found that the dead Skysoar was still on the ground in front of them.

"This is...an illusion!"

Boom!
