Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 870: Assembly Of Heroes (3)

Meanwhile, Su Yu was cursing inwardly yet again.

Holy shit!

It was yet another expert. Good thing he was able to escape in time. He saw what happened to the miserable golden dragon. The dragon almost lost his entire tail to that white-haired guy.

Just who was that fellow? Su Yu hurriedly checked all the information he had. After a while, he found the introduction for that person.

"An Mintian, second-stage Mountainsea, snowfrost divine race, good at sword-play, warrior, sixth on the Earth Index, killed a fourth-stage Mountainsea before."

"Sixth on the Earth Index?"

Su Yu curled his lips when he saw that. Well, that was decent, he supposed. Skipping two minor realms. But he was not necessarily a top genius of the divine race. A true top genius divine should be capable of skipping more levels. Then again, his rank in the index was still quite high.

There was nothing to worry about as long as this was not a first divine.

"An Mintian. Even if I use everything I have, including my semi-opened yang acupoint and consuming blood essence, I might still not be his match."

Su Yu sighed. That was still quite a scary opponent. After all, that was someone with the strength to kill a fourth-stage Mountainsea. With Su Yu's current strength, such an opponent was capable of killing him in combat even if he were to use all his strength. He should avoid that person for now.

"Damn it!"

He was very unhappy. He had been planning to slowly clear the entire group of mystic armors. But that fellow had ruined his plan. Since he had started killing them, he had to kill them all or things might get troublesome for him in the future.

After all, those people had seen some of his tricks. They might not think much of it for now, but when words got out, his real identity would be exposed. Sure, that might take some time to happen, but it was only a matter of time.

Numerous elemental transformations, illusions, lightning bolts, and the Time technique were used during his combat with the mystic armors. Those people did not have the chance to think too much about all the tricks he had shown. But before long, they would notice that something wasn't right with the sheer number of abilities he possessed.

Then again, Su Yu wasn't too worried. He could run before his identity was exposed. Or he could also switch to a different identity. In any case, Cui Lang's identity was no longer so reliable for him.

"Since I can't kill them, I'll find some other new targets."

While he was moving around, he had heard some news as well. But since he wasn't well-connected in the Allheaven Battlefield, he did not receive too much information. He only knew that Huang Teng and Wu Qi were being hunted down.

He didn't care that much about Huang Teng, but Wu Qi was Wu Lan's elder sister. If he could, he would try to help her.

"I need to keep a low profile. I can't be too conspicuous here."

He warned himself again. He had to be very cautious. His failure to fully kill the group of mystic armors had created a risk of exposure. He still needed to find a way to deal with them. He only hoped that those fools would not realize anything so soon.

After all, not everyone knew about Su Yu and his list of abilities. He had never even been to the Allheaven Battlefield before. Only the top experts of the myriad races were aware of his existence. And most of them knew him due to the cultivation methods he had released. They might not care about the battles he had been him, and he was probably not important enough for those big shots to tell their subordinates about.

As for his trump cards, it was likely that not even those Invincibles knew too much about them. But they were definitely aware of the cultivation methods he had released.

After about three hours.

Su Yu had just extracted the blood essence from a tiger he had killed. With a frown, he muttered, "The Heavenly Hunt Index is also capable of updating my combat accomplishments?"

He had just discovered that he had been promoted to third place on the Yellow Index.

"Someone must have collected my aura and provided it to the Heavenly Hunt Index. Since the name in the index is Cui Lang...my aura must have been entered manually."

He contemplated and reached a conclusion that someone must have collected his aura when he was in the human territory. At the time, he had attempted to tail someone from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. He was subsequently forced to flee after a Sunmoon arrived. That was most likely the time when his aura was gathered.

"But is this my origin aura or the aura I'm leaking outward?"

He was unsure. But since the name in the index was Cui Lang, he was able to conclude that the Heavenly Hunt Index was not as all-powerful as he had originally thought. The people of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion must be the ones manually deciding who to put into the index.

After deciding on the people they deemed qualified to enter the index, they would then collect the aura of these people. And the moment these people killed some other experts in the index, their status would be updated accordingly.

"This is quite troublesome."

Su Yu wanted to switch his identity, but this index was making things hard. For example, he could steal the identity of a devil. But the index would indicate that the devil was already dead. There was no way for him to steal the identity of an existing genius.

"No wonder Xia Huyou said that it is very hard to steal someone's identity here in the Allheaven Battlefield. That's all because of the Heavenly Hunt Index. Just who are the people controlling the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion?"

This was so annoying. Even stealing someone's identity without killing them wouldn't work. For example, he could pretend to be Huang Teng even if Huang Teng was still alive. But after killing someone, the new accomplishment wouldn't be reflected under Huang Teng's name in the index. Even a fool would know that there was a fake Huang Teng out there.

"Heavenly Hunt Index!"

Su Yu cursed at the damn index. That Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was filled with bastards as well. If he really wanted to steal someone's identity without killing that person, he would need to kill others in secret so that nobody knew about his new accomplishment.

For example, he could put on Huang Teng's disguise. When he killed, Huang Teng's accomplishments would remain the same while Cui Lang's would change. Everyone would know that Cui Lang was the killer, but nobody would know that Cui Lang was pretending to be Huang Teng.

"The names in the index are most likely updated manually. Is it possible for someone to avoid entering the index by not having their aura collected? Or perhaps there are people out there whose true identities are so unknown that they won't be updated in the index even if their aura has been collected?"

Numerous thoughts appeared in Su Yu's mind.

After a while, he stopped thinking about all that. He had also learned something new during his fight with the tiger he had just killed. To the west was a place called the Skyrend Valley. There, a group had formed to hunt Huang Teng and his companions down.

Su Yu disliked tigers. The blame could only be placed on the cloud tiger race. His encounter with the cloud tiger princess had left a sour taste in his mouth.

"Skyrend Valley?"

He recalled what he had read about that place. The legends said that the valley had formed during the battle of two powerful Invincibles. With one slash, a valley hundreds of kilometers in length was left on the ground.

And because that used to be the battleground of Invincibles, saber qi still filled the valley. That was an extremely dangerous place to explore. After thinking for a bit, Su Yu changed his body and transformed into a water elemental. From now on, he would be a member of the water elemental race!

With this transformation ability, very few people could see through his disguise. He would only risk exposing himself when he had to fight and reveal his other abilities. Now was not a good time to be a human in this place. Thus, he had decided to assume the identity of someone from a different race.

After all, the divines and devils were here. He didn't want to be their new target. The water elemental race was perfect for him. He knew that race decently well. And since that wasn't too big of a race, it wouldn't be easy for him to stumble upon an actual water elemental.

As for his weapon, well, it wasn't like he was restricted to using only a hammer. He could always switch to a different weapon. He had only been using a hammer because it was fitting for the identity he was using. In any case, the original form of his character technique was a saber. Changing wasn't an issue.

With his numerous tricks, one could say that Su Yu was akin to a fish back in water after entering the Allheaven Battlefield. Here, it wouldn't be surprising for any race to appear.

Here, he could freely transform into a member of any race he wanted. Nobody would suspect anything. Since even the divines and devils had made an appearance, it wouldn't be surprising for the members of the other races to show up as well.

Even after transforming into a water elemental, Su Yu was still able to move rapidly. He shot forward as a clump of mist, instantly vanishing into the distance.

Along the way, he saw other experts heading toward the Skyrend Valley as well.

Two human geniuses, Huang Teng and Wu Qi, had been trapped in the Skyrend Valley by the devils. This could be considered a major event. Huang Teng was the pillar of Great Xia's young generation. Great Xia would be greatly saddened by his death.

As words spread, more and more people gathered near the Skyrend Valley.

Su Yu was doing the same. He was going there to take a look at the grand event that was about to unfold. If he could, he would lend them a hand. If he couldn't, so be it. He did not intend to lost his life trying to help those people. He was not such a good person. If it wasn't for the fact that Wu Qi was also there, he wouldn't have bothered to go. He did not care one bit about Huang Teng's life.

They didn't even know each other. Why should he care?

At the same time.

Inside a massive valley, Huang Teng was scanning his surroundings while laughing, "Don't worry. This valley was created by Great Xia King during his battle with an enemy Invincible many years ago. People who know the Sky Sundering Saber will feel at home here. Those people must be dreaming if they think they can kill me here."

Yes. The Invincible who was rumored to have created this valley with a single slash was none other than Great Xia King. With one swing of his blade, he left a cut hundreds of kilometers long on the ground. The cut was eventually named the Skyrend Valley.

But Wu Qi was feeling very uncomfortable and repressed due to the saber qi of the Sky Sundering Saber. She frowned and said, "I told you to leave. Why are you still following me?"

"Life is boring. Thus, I need to seek challenge and excitement to bring some joy to my boring life."

Huang Teng said, "Normally, I have to sneak around like a thief whenever I kill someone. But now, so many people are gathered here for me to kill. I am free to kill anyone I want! Isn't this fun?"

"The Xia Family would probably go crazy if you ended up dead."

Huang Teng shrugged, "I don't think so. A dead genius is worth nothing. But Marquis Xia would probably cry. After all, they had spent a lot of money on me."

Wu Qi couldn't resist laughing in amusement. That was true. Marquis Xia would definitely cry after losing so much money. Great Xia had invested greatly in Huang Teng. Even their body forging quota in the holy land was given to him. It would pain Marquis Xia greatly if Huang Teng died after all that investment.

Huang Teng nonchalantly said, "So be it. Great Xia is filled with geniuses. They can raise another genius after my death. I'm not the only genius of Great Xia."

Wu Qi coldly said, "Great Xia has given up on so many people to invest on you. You would be an ungrateful scum if you got yourself killed before repaying them."

"That responsibility is too heavy for me to shoulder." While sensing the saber qi around them, Huang Teng said, "Everyone claims that I'm the second Prefect Xia. But I don't like hearing that. Generally, the people known as the second coming of someone else would not have a good ending. I am only myself. I am Huang Teng."

Suddenly, a powerful burst of saber qi erupted from his body. He seemed to have comprehended something from the saber qi in the air. He sighed and said, "Great Xia King is truly powerful. Even after so many years, the saber qi here is still stronger than Prefect Xia."

"All cultivators of the Sky Sundering Saber should visit this place once. This valley was created by an attack Great Xia King had released with the intention of killing an enemy Invincible. Unfortunately, that Invincible was still able to escape. If that Invincible had perished, this place would have transformed into a truly dangerous zone."

Wu Qi ignored him. She wasn't even a warrior, so she was uninterested in the saber qi.

A decent number of people knew the Sky Sundering Saber, but not all of them were capable of grasping the essence of the art. Just because Huang Teng could comprehend a lot here did not mean that everyone else could do the same. This fellow was simply overflowing with talent.

With so many geniuses gathered outside, Wu Qi no longer cared about anything else. At worst, she would just die here. Huang Teng was very strong. And this Skyrend Valley was also a heaven for someone who knew the Sky Sundering Saber like him. With her death, he would no longer have anyone holding him back. Thus, it was likely that he could still survive this incident. There was no need for her to worry too much about him.

"With my death...that silly lass will be the only person of our generation left in the family."

Wu Qi felt very helpless when she thought about that. Whatever. That lass should continue sticking to the path of research. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing. If the Wu Family really reached a point where they had to rely on Wu Lan, they were probably already near destruction.
