Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu spent the next few days in Bright City.

During his stay, he gathered and bought all the information he needed, spending a large amount of money in the process. He had even restored the ancient character slightly. The little furball had tried to eat it a few times, but each time, he was caught and given a beating by Su Yu. What even was the point of eating it now? It was just an old and stinky character.

After the scam was completed, they would have plenty of heavenearth profound light. At that time, the furball would have plenty of good stuff to eat. It wasn't like heavenearth profound light was that valuable.

Each strand was only worth a drop of first-stage Sunmoon blood essence. He could get ten strands by killing a random weak first-stage Sunmoon. With the corpse of a peak ancient Sunmoon and the set of accompanying items, he could make a profit worth the blood essence of dozens of first-stage Sunmoons.

He wouldn't accept any deal lower than three to five hundred strands of heavenearth profound light. An ancient peak Sunmoon was totally worth thirty or even fifty first-stage Sunmoons, right?

Furthermore, heavenearth profound light was not something that could only be obtained through killing. It could be harvested from the void. It only required some time from a Sunmoon. And as a Sunmoon of a major race, was time a concern?

Time passed as Su Yu continued his preparations.

***

Far away from Red Clouds Island, Ninestar Island was bustling with excitement. One super genius after another appeared. Even Su Yu might appear here. That sparked countless discussions, and numerous people were gathering information all over the city.

Outside Ninestar Island, numerous Sunmoons were observing the geniuses instead of stepping on the island. They did notice several battles erupting during the past few days, but they weren’t surprised. It was normal for battles to erupt when so many geniuses were gathered at the same place. However, they had not been able to discover the whereabouts of Su Yu.

The young geniuses on the island were constantly challenging different opponents. Each challenge was a fight with no restriction toward killing instead of a mere spar. If the loser was lucky, they might survive. If not, they could only blame their fate. Even with Su Yu's apparent absence, the geniuses were unbothered. Su Yu wasn't their sole target. They could always do something else here.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was busy perfecting his scam.

***

Somewhere in the Sea of Stars, a large battle was ongoing.

Sounds of weapons clashing rang out unceasingly.

Boom!

A shining saber flickered into existence in the sky, followed by a shining spear. The weapons stabbed through several figures. With a roar, a fist appeared and shattered the saber light before the spear stabbed through it.

"Huang Teng...Qin Fang!"

Tianduo glared at the two while coughing blood.

Huang Teng grinned, "Not bad, Tianduo. You seem to have improved. You're nearly as strong as me in combat now. Amazing."

Tianduo was a seventh-stage Cloudbreach. As for Huang Teng, he was a sixth-stage Cloudbreach. He was also a famous human genius who had killed a second-stage Mountainsea as a fifth-stage Cloudbreach not long ago. Thus, it was quite an impressive feat for Tianduo to actually put up a fight against him. Then again, Tianduo's cultivation was a stage higher.

Beside Huang Teng, Qin Fang was calmly looking at the distant Mo Duona. He was quite alarmed, but he pretended to be calm as he asked, "Mo Duona, are you thinking of killing us? Feel free to give it a try."

Mo Duona shot him an indifferent gaze before looking away. Kill him? He must be overestimating himself.

Previously, Mo Duona had only pursued Qin Fang for fun. After reaching the seventh-stage Cloudbreach Realm, Qin Fang had probably grown by about thirty percent in combat strength and gained the ability to deal with fourth-stage Mountainseas. But this was still too weak for Mo Duona. He was not interested in killing Qin Fang previously. And that had not changed.

He completely ignored Qin Fang and Huang Teng. Instead, he fixed his gaze behind them as he asked, "Are you interested in having some fun with me?"

The empty air warped as someone appeared out of thin air. The newcomer looked young, but he wasn't actually young. This was a human.

When Qin Fang looked behind him, he exclaimed in shock, "Big Brother Zhu!"

Zhu Guangshen. Grandson of Great Ming King, eldest son of Zhu Tiandao. In human age, he was actually not that young anymore.

He was a peak Mountainsea. Or to be precise, a peak Mountainsea who was the direct descendant of an Invincible. Meanwhile, Mo Duona was only a peak Cloudbreach. ℞аꞐồ𐌱ĘṨ

Stepping on thin air, Zhu Guangshen stepped forth and smiled, "Mo Duona? I've heard a lot about you. I'm afraid I have to refuse your offer. People from Great Ming are bad at fighting. If you really want to fight...I guess you can deal with this guy instead."

At that, a second silhouette appeared.

The newcomer was plump as a ball, with black and white fur, and two black circles around his eyes.

Iron devourer!

Somehow, Zhu Hongliang's iron devourer was here.

With a smile, Zhu Guangshen said, "Great Ming is only here to take a look at the latest event. I'm also here to look for Su Yu. If I see him, I'll advise him to surrender himself and apologize to the immortals. You see, I'm here for peace, not to fight."

After saying that, Zhu Guangshen nonchalantly threw a wriggling black mass out. Mo Duona retreated instinctively before noticing the appearance of numerous ants. At that, one expert after another appeared around them.

A Sunmoon coldly said, "You! You from Great Ming! Take these things away!"

Zhu Guangshen smiled, "Relax. These are third-generation ants. We can slightly control them. Mo Duona wants to beat me up, right? What choice do I have if I want to protect myself? It's not like I'm his match. Don't overestimate me just because I'm a Mountainsea. My cultivation level is only a result of countless treasures by my grandpa..."

He sighed, "To protect me, more experts have arrived from Great Ming as well. I'm not here to fight. You young geniuses can keep fighting, but leave me out of it."

At that, another expert appeared.

Someone cursed. Holy shit! That was the chief commander of the Heavenly Dao Army.

And that was not all. The chief commander of Great Ming's Iron Cavalry appeared next.

Then, Umbra appeared as well.

Three high-stage Sunmoons. Yes. All of them were high-stage Sunmoons. Chief commander of Heavenly Dao Army, chief commander of Iron Cavalry, and commander of Shadow Guard...If all three of them fell here, Great Ming's military would instantly lose all their leaders.

Madness. Absolute madness. Were the people of Great Ming so cowardly? They actually sent several chief commanders over just to protect a single crown prince.

Zhu Guangshen laughed, "I really don't want to fight anyone here. I come in peace. And I'm not a genius. You guys can continue your fights. But don't drag me into it. Mo Duona, you're a genius while I'm not. You have an Invincible in your family, but I have one as well. It is pointless for us to quarrel because of something stupid like ego..."

Mo Duona left without saying a single word.

Piss off.

That damn bastard brought three high-stage Sunmoons as bodyguards just for a single trip. He had never seen someone like that. What even was the point? And Zhu Guangshen was right. He was not a young genius. He didn't need to take any risks. And he had three powerful bodyguards with him. Who would want to fight him?

Mo Duona reckoned that Zhu Guangshen would probably drag even his old man out here if his old man wasn't needed back home. The surrounding experts also left one after another.

Soon, only the humans were left. Huang Teng and Qin Fang exchanged gazes before cupping their hands at Zhu Guangshen. Then, they left as well.

They weren't here to show off by borrowing Zhu Guangshen's might. They were here to challenge and temper themselves. Could they still do that with three high-stage Sunmoon bodyguards around them?

Zhu Guangshen laughed, "Why is everyone leaving? Well, I guess this isn't a bad thing. Don't mess with me. I'm only here to enjoy the show and gather information about the next opening of Luminous Domain Mansion...Thank you, generals."

The three Sunmoons said nothing and faded into thin air again. Wasn't this amazing? This was how Great Ming operated. They didn't have any genius to participate in such conflicts. When their crown prince needed to go somewhere, he would be protected by three high-stage Sunmoons.

Was there a problem with that? It was unfortunate that Great Ming King was busy lately. Otherwise, their crown prince would have brought Great Ming King as the bodyguard instead. That was no exaggeration. Someone actually did that before. Someone by the name of Zhu Tiandao.

Back then, when Zhu Tiandao was exploring the Allheaven Battlefield as a young man, he did it with his old man, an Invincible, as the bodyguard. This was the main reason why most people regardless of race ignored Zhu Tiandao. This was why nobody believed he would ever affirm his dao successfully. Thus, they were not surprised to see Zhu Guangshen's entourage.

After all, this was the tradition of Great Ming. This was how Great Ming had earned its reputation as the home of cowards. The experts of myriad races never viewed them as a threat.
