Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 924: Su Yus Trump Card (2)

Chapter 924: Su Yu's Trump Card (2)

Su Yu decided to forget about that. To kill Final Armor, he would need a million merit points. To kill Dao Cheng, he would need five million merit points. Not even someone as rich as him could afford that.

Furthermore, he also noted the little disclaimer given by the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion: No refunds in the event of failure. Even with such atrocious prices, they couldn't guarantee anything. They would not offer any refunds upon failure. That was bullshit.

"What's the price for my life?"

Su Yu asked curiously.

"Double Dao Cheng's price."

Su Yu's mood instantly improved. Sure enough, he was more valuable than Dao Cheng. Just look at how expensive his life was. Not even the Myriad Race Cult of the Human Realm had offered such a price for his head. In fact, they hadn't even offered such a price for Xia Longwu.

His life was actually worth ten million merit points. It would seem like his value had been skyrocketing after entering the Allheaven Battlefield. In fact, the price was so tempting Su Yu even felt like killing himself for the money.

"What's the price to exterminate the immortal race?"

"..."

No reply came.

"What's the price to exterminate the divines and devils?"

No reply came.

Evidently, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion wasn't feeling like entertaining him anymore.

Su Yu laughed in amusement. From this, could he conclude that the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion wasn't strong enough to exterminate those races yet? He sat down cross-legged and started cultivating. He did not bother to further explore the residence as there honestly wasn't anything interesting in it.

What he could discover could be seen with one glance. What he couldn't discover yet might need more time spent in the residence before appearing anyway. Thus, there was no point in searching.

He was better off working on his body forging and dealing with the death qi in his body. If he could reach the eighteenth body forging, he would finally surpass the strength of ten thousand acupoints.

He had no choice but to admit that this had been quite a fulfilling trip. At the very least, he had completed several body forgings here. He would be even happier if he could stumble upon a few fortuitous encounters as well.

"Even with a physical breakthrough, I still won't be strong enough to deal with them. My willpower has fallen behind. My Soul Expanding Hammer and character technique are not strong enough to threaten Dao Cheng. I also need to find a way to handle Final Armor. He is the most troublesome of them all."

Numerous thoughts emerged in Su Yu's mind as he processed his heavenearth profound light in silence. After about seven or eight hours, Su Yu's body shook. A powerful burst of life force and source qi erupted from his body, flooding the room in a blinding golden light.

He had completed yet another body forging. He had also fully exhausted the heavenearth profound light he had received from the heavenly reward previously. He had only killed a single third-stage Mountainsea, but he had gained a lot from it.

Eighteenth body forging!

Su Yu threw a casual punch to test his newfound strength. The air was instantly ripped apart and a loud rumble reverberated in the room.

Outside, the death spirits were starting to knock on his door again. In fact, the knockings were much more intense than before. It would seem like night had arrived yet again. During the day, even if there were death spirits around, they wouldn't be so active.

Su Yu noted that this was his second day in the city. At the same time tomorrow, he would welcome his third day.

"How many days has Final Armor been in the city?" muttered Su Yu while rubbing his chin.

He took out his index copy and wrote on it, "I need to know Final Armor's time of departure from the city. What's the price for that?"

"Fifty thousand merit points."

Fuck!

Su Yu was starting to regret not getting the contact details of the big bird he met yesterday. Otherwise, he could have bought such simple information from the big bird instead. Then again, the big bird did not have the credibility of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Thus, Su Yu wouldn't even dare to fully trust the information he purchased from the big bird anyway.

While he was deep in thought, a reply came, "A lot of experts are heading toward Heavendoom. Are you interested in their information?"

"No."

Su Yu was not interested in letting the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion slay him like a whale. He could conclude himself that some experts were heading over. What even was the point of buying the information about them?

Rather, he should try to escape before their arrival. What should he do? He wouldn't be able to do much with Final Armor around. Should he try to outlast Final Armor? Were there other options?

Perhaps...he could destroy the building and spawn even more death spirits. With enough death spirits around, even Final Armor would be greatly troubled, right? Perhaps the death spirits might even end up killing Final Armor. That would be nice.

This was very tempting. But he was also worried about failing to escape after luring so many death spirits over.

"Why do I constantly feel so helpless after entering the Allheaven Battlefield?"

Su Yu sighed. If he was being honest, he believed that his strength was already pretty decent. He was already strong enough to kill Mountainseas. Alas, that was still not strong enough. When would he stop feeling so helpless? Was he supposed to keep feeling helpless until he became an Invincible himself?

"There goes my plan to conceal myself and cultivate in silence. Sure enough, I am simply too bright to not shine."

Hissing sounds started ringing out around him. Death qi was starting to seep into the building again. The death qi outside had probably reached a terrifying level of density. He wondered if Final Armor and the others would keep waiting outside or take shelter in a nearby building. This was the eighteenth ring. Even if they waited indoors, they probably wouldn't have an easy time here.

Su Yu refused to believe that everyone would have as much heavenly source qi as him. He started reorganizing all his spoils of war. He hadn't gained much from the mystic armors he killed. The corpses had been used to purchase the service of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. As for the third-stage Mountainsea he killed previously, he didn't even have the time to loot anything.

But he did manage to gather a lot of loot during his time at the Skyrend Valley. After killing Lei Jue, Green Armor, Red Armor, and the other young geniuses, he had accumulated a large pile of loot.

In fact, one of his storage rings was basically stuffed full of nothing but Cloudbreach corpses. Finally, he had the time to sit back and organize his loot. It wasn't like those people could get through his door. Thus, he was in no rush. If they really managed to open his door, he could simply go crazy with his heavenly source qi and screw them all up real nicely.

At worst, he would simply sacrifice his physical body. They better not push him too much or he would really throw caution to the wind and give them hell! He started going through the corpses and storage rings he had gathered.

One item after another was piled on the ground. There were pills, weapons, armor, and even cultivation methods among his loot. But with all he had experienced, these things were not enough to excite him.

After some time, he was finally done extracting the blood essence from these corpses. He had gained about 180 drops of Cloudbreach blood essence from over a dozen races. As for Skysoar blood essence, he had extracted even more. There were nearly 200 drops of them.

All in all, he had gathered about twenty weapons with the majority of them being profound weapons. A few of his victims were so broke that they were actually using profound weapons. Not a single one of these weapons was at the earth grade. To be precise, there was one, but it was broken. Lei Jue's spear was an early earth weapon with seventy-three golden stripes.

But since it was broken, it wasn't worth much. After giving it some thought, Su Yu decided to ignore the pile of items and focused on the blood essence of the races he had never consumed before.

For example, the lightning divine race Lei Jue was from, the six-winged divine race one of An Mintian's subordinates was from, and the peng. These were all new races for him. Through their blood essence, perhaps he could discover some new powerful cultivation methods or unique abilities.

He remembered that there was at least one cultural researcher among those he killed. He had not gotten the chance to kill too many cultural researchers.

After all, they were too rare in the Allheaven Battlefield. The few that would appear were the incredibly strong ones. Dao Cheng was the perfect example of that. Su Yu really wanted to kill Dao Cheng and see if he could get some powerful cultivation methods from Dao Cheng's blood essence.

His Five Elemental Art was probably not enough as a willpower cultivation method. After all, the yin aperture still remained undiscovered. Without the yin aperture, how was he supposed to gain a massive boost in strength?

As he was, he didn't even have the courage to fully open the yang acupoint. He was sure fully opening the yang acupoint would grant him a large increase in strength.

Since the building was still safe to hide in, Su Yu took the chance to consume his newly extracted blood essence and categorize the weapons he had gathered. He was even thinking of melting all of them down before forging an even more powerful weapon.

***

Outside.

Instead of staying outdoors, Final Armor and the others had entered the building right opposite Su Yu's building. At the moment, they were waiting inside the building with the door wide open. Thick death qi surrounded them.

Even with the door wide open, the death spirits did not try to enter. They were constantly focused on the building opposite them. Jiu Xuan and Dao Cheng were constantly using up their supply of heavenly source qi to withstand the death qi around them.

As for Final Armor, Flame Armor, and Silver Armor, they were forced to withstand the death qi with only their body.

After a while, Dao Cheng said, "The Mystic Armor Realm is also a realm with holy lands. After being stationed here for so many years, you should have received some heavenly source qi, right?"

Why were they being so stingy? At this rate, they would probably have to leave the city by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. What could they do if they didn't have enough heavenly source qi? If they persisted stubbornly, they would probably die before Su Yu was dead.

Final Armor answered, "The mystic armor race is incomparable to the immortal race. We only have one holy land. And the little heavenly source qi produced there can barely support the production of our heavenly source fruits and the cultivation of our great patriarch."

He took out a medallion and said, "This thing can be used to withstand the death qi as well, but it isn't too effective. This is a medallion of the twenty-fourth ring."

Its level wasn't high enough to remain effective in the eighteenth ring.

He tossed the medallion to the injured Flame Armor and said, "Flame Armor, if you're at your limit already, just leave. It's not like you can do much here."

As a Mountainsea, he could absolutely be considered a powerhouse. Unfortunately, these young geniuses could kill those above their cultivation level as easily as drinking water. Thus, a mere first-stage Mountainsea would drag them down.

Su Yu’s previous attack had not only killed Broken Armor. It had also seriously injured Flame Armor. Coupled with the constant invasion of the death qi, Flame Armor wouldn't be able to last much longer.
