Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1006: Fishing (3)

"Why does it feel like everyone is entering the Allheaven Battlefield?"

Su Yu laughed. More and more humans had entered the index.

Of the 630 spots, humanity had taken more than 20 of them. That was actually quite impressive. However, the divines and devils still had more geniuses on the index. Now that more and more of his old acquaintances had entered the Allheaven Battlefield, things would only get more interesting than before.

"Next, I'll need to capture my target."

Su Yu decided to stop worrying about humanity and focus on his plan instead.

"I'll find Tianduo, capture him, and...organize an expedition with his identity before killing those people...no, there is no need for an expedition. I should go to a place with some other people and punch space apart instead. A few of them will miraculously escape with the information about my discovery. That will look a lot more natural. It will be more suspicious if I actually bring a bunch of people with me when searching for treasures..."

He continued perfecting his plan.

Soon, Su Yu started heading deeper into the city. He started running his Perception Jade at all times. He was familiar with Tianduo. Thus, he could rely on the jade to look for Tianduo. This was a function Hu Qi had added to the jade. It would show a special mark indicating the different individuals he had met before.

This probably wouldn't even take long since Tianduo was likely staying in the Devil Consulate.

Devil Consulate.

Tianduo had just returned from a trip. He had been involved in numerous fights recently. For example, he fought Huang Teng not long ago. But that idiot went and provoked the blood fire devils as well. Even now, that fool was still on the run from the blood fire devils.

He fought Qin Fang once as well, but he was not Qin Fang's match. Instead, he was forced to escape after Qin Fang left a hole on his arm with a spear. If he was even a tiny bit slower, he would have died during that incident.

After entering the seventh-stage Cloudbreach Realm, Qin Fang had grown much stronger than before. Just a single additional source qi transformation had massively increased his strength.

Tianduo also fought Shi Zun once. He had thought that he could win, but they were actually evenly matched. Apart from these people, he had fought many other geniuses as well. He even fought the twelfth-ranked genius on the Heaven Index. With one punch, his bones broke. Fortunately, Mo Duona happened to be passing by at that time, forcing that person to flee. Otherwise, Tianduo would have died then and there.

The constant battles had increased his fame, pushing him to the twelfth place on the Earth Index. He had even advanced to the seventh-stage Cloudbreach Realm after all those fights. Of course, there was still no comparing him with Mo Duona even though the two of them had the same cultivation level. Nevertheless, he was still the highest-ranked original devil on the Earth Index.

Was this enough to catch his ancestor's attention?

Was he good enough?

At that thought, a self-mocking smile formed on his face.

Perhaps it still wasn't enough. He came from a massive family. His ancestor had achieved dao affirmation over five thousand years ago. Over the years, his ancestor had produced numerous offspring. By his generation, the family had swelled to an excessive level.

He might be the strongest in his generation, but there were Mountainseas one generation above him. And above that was the generation with Sunmoons.

No matter how talented he was, he was still a Cloudbreach capable of fighting early Mountainseas. Their family had produced plenty of such geniuses over the years. If he wanted to earn the recognition of his ancestor, entering the Heaven Index was probably the bare minimum of what he needed to accomplish.

"I won't stop growing!"

Tianduo vowed to himself.

Since he had decided to enter the Allheaven Battlefield, he would naturally not fear death anymore. He would keep advancing unyieldingly. He would keep growing until his ancestor had no choice but to acknowledge him. He would grow until not even Mo Duona could look down on him anymore.

"My next target...Topsoil Spirit."

Tianduo snorted when he thought of Topsoil Spirit. That fellow had actually entered the Sea of Stars as well. Furthermore, he had even killed a fifth-stage Mountainsea recently, climbing to the fifth place on the Earth Index. That was truly surprising.

Tianduo had fought Huang Teng, someone ranked fourth on the Earth Index before. The two of them were evenly matched. He had also fought Qin Fang, someone ranked third, and found that Qin Fang was slightly stronger than him. Now that Topsoil Spirit had climbed to the fifth place, he wanted to try fighting Topsoil Spirit as well.

"Mo Duona claimed that he has fused the five elements. Is that true?"

He read the information on Topsoil Spirit he bought from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion repeatedly. Fights among geniuses weren't really something with no order to it. For the most part, a genius would carefully investigate a potential opponent before proceeding with the fight.

Topsoil Spirit..."

Tianduo decided that Topsoil Spirit would be his new target. That fellow was quite hard to track, but it didn't matter. Tianduo was sure he would be able to find that fellow. It was only a matter of time.

***

Su Yu spent several days walking all over Ninestar City.

He had been gathering all sorts of information, including the names, strengths, and locations of the various Sunmoons in the city. He had also been paying attention to any unique items that might have entered the market recently. Tianduo's whereabouts weren't actually that hard to find.

Recent rumors suggested that Tianduo was trying to challenge Topsoil Spirit to a fight recently. Those words originated from Tianduo's own mouth. Clearly, he was trying to provoke Topsoil Spirit into appearing and accepting his challenge.

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. Topsoil Spirit...

Yes, that was an identity he could use as well!

"Perhaps I can pretend to be Topsoil Spirit and reveal myself away from the city. That way, Tianduo will come to me himself."

As for the real Topsoil Spirit, that fellow was too crafty. Su Yu did not think that Topsoil Spirit would actually answer the challenge. He was only worried that the real Topsoil Spirit would also hear about the appearance of the fake Topsoil Spirit and suspect that it was him. Things could get very troublesome.

"The best option is to lure Topsoil Spirit over as well...But things will get very tricky if that fellow decides to send a few Sunmoons after me instead."

Su Yu sighed. This was such a headache. He had failed to deal with Topsoil Spirit and was now suffering for that.

Topsoil Spirit might decide to remain in hiding out of fear. But for this plan to work, Su Yu had to pretend to be Topsoil Spirit before capturing Tianduo. Then, he would disguise himself as Tianduo and reappear with a bunch of valuable treasures. Next, he would start auctioning those treasures. Would Topsoil Spirit not suspect anything after learning about all that?

Fuck!

It was very likely that Topsoil Spirit would be the one to see through his scam. Things could get extremely dangerous.

"Maybe I can reach a deal with Topsoil Spirit after capturing Tianduo..."

Su Yu decided it was pointless to worry too much. He would first catch Tianduo.

***

Before long, Su Yu left the city.

He spent several days roaming outside before picking a location with only a small number of people in the area. There, he fought intensely with a demonic beast with the appearance of Topsoil Spirit before disappearing.

And not long after, words of Topsoil Spirit's appearance reached Tianduo. That was naturally followed by Tianduo's departure from the city. He was out to search for Topsoil Spirit.

***

At the same time.

Inside the sole ancient city on Ninestar Island. Topsoil Spirit was cursing repeatedly while recovering his source qi. A few days ago, that damn stone guy had found him. He was forced to fight the stone golem repeatedly. Left with no choice, he fled into the ancient city.

An ancient city was still the safest place, after all. Of course, that would only stay true as long as a bastard by the name Su Yu wasn't there as well.

Whatever. His luck had been very bad recently. That bastard by the name Su Yu seemed to be looking for him as well. He decided to stay in the ancient city for a few days. Perhaps he might get lucky and stumble upon an opportunity during his time in the city.

Yes. He should focus on these ancient buildings for perhaps ten days or so. Those bastards could keep searching for him out there. They would never find him.

***

At the same time.

Shi Zun also received news of Topsoil Spirit's appearance out in the sea. He was dumbfounded. Out in the sea?

How fast.

He had been pursuing Topsoil Spirit all the way to the ancient city. He had thought that Topsoil Spirit was still hiding inside the city. But that fellow had actually gone all the way to the sea instead?

Shi Zun decided to continue going after Topsoil Spirit. Did that fellow think that a sea was enough to stop him? That fellow was underestimating him too much. He might be made of stone, but he was not afraid of water!

He concluded that Topsoil Spirit must have used some diversion to distract him. No wonder he had failed to find Topsoil Spirit even after two days. So that bastard had actually gone out to the sea. That damn lump of soil was too crafty!

The real Topsoil Spirit was completely unaware that his nemesis had actually left. He was resting in a random ancient building to recover while trying to find one of those so-called ancient city opportunities.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was ready with his trap. He only needed Tianduo to take the bait.
