Chapter 981: Entering The Sea Of Stars (1)

After spending two days in Empyrean Cloud City, Su Yu took his leave. It was pointless to throw this city into chaos as well.

Furthermore, there was at least a ninth-stage Sunmoon in the city. Who knew if this mayor was the same as Heavendoom's mayor? Tian He had a policy of noninterference, but who knew if Mayor Qin Yu had the same policy?

Additionally, there weren't even that many experts in this city. Killing them wouldn't even provide him any heavenly rewards. It was pointless to kill just for the sake of killing.

He would only take action if there were elites or unique races whose blood essence might be beneficial to him. Only the death spirits would benefit if he started killing here. Before night arrived, Su Yu stepped out of the city.

Standing in front of the gate, he turned to look at the city with regret. He was not able to visit the stone statue this time. He was well aware that he could gain a lot of benefits from forging the stone statue.

Truly a pity.

"I will be back!"

Su Yu vowed to himself. He was here, but he had to leave empty-handed. He had even wasted quite a lot of resources to buy all the information he needed. This trip had been a loss for him.

A day would come when he returned and corrected the balance.

Inside the city, the stone statue opened her eyes after seemingly sensing something. She stared at the departing bringer of calamity in silence. The humans were still the same. Back in ancient times, they were incredibly domineering. Even now that they had fallen so low, they were still as domineering as ever.

That damn kid did not seem satisfied with only creating chaos in Heavendoom City. Just look at how indignant he was at the fact that he had to leave this city peacefully. But when she focused, she noted that the kid had actually grown decently.

Or to be precise, the kid had actually grown significantly. Evidently, even if the humans had declined, they were still not lacking in talent.

Su Yu was unaware of what the stone statue was thinking.

Following his decided route, he started moving toward Ninestar Island.

There was a distance of about two thousand kilometers between the Empyrean Cloud City and the Sea of Stars. And there was also a large distance between the border of the Sea of Stars and Ninestar Island. In fact, the distance between any two islands in the Sea of Stars was incredibly massive.

According to his map, there was a distance of over ten thousand kilometers between the Ninestar Island and the border he was going to be entering from. This was a long distance to travel. He might encounter numerous troubles during the journey. He needed about one week to reach it.

After leaving the Empyrean Cloud City, Su Yu started moving west. He moved further and further away from the human territory, but he felt no reluctance. There were only a small number of people he truly cared about among the entire humanity.

He wondered if Teacher Liu was fine. Teacher Liu must have returned to the human territory. Was he in trouble?

Su Yu also thought of his father. He knew that after the recent incident, more people would be targeting his father. But his father was still a soldier of Great Xia's Devil Subduing Army. If the human Invincibles dared to hand over even a soldier in active service to the myriad races...he would lose all hope toward humanity. After all, his father wasn't even a member of the multiple character faction.

For Su Yu, life would be the same everywhere. It wasn't like he had to return to the Human Realm. In any case, the human Invincibles weren't really that stupid. Handing Su Long out would completely destroy the military morale. At that point, they might as well submit to the myriad races. This was not a choice people like Great Qin King would make.

"It is unlikely they will hand my old man over...but he needs to watch out for potential assassination attempts or tricks to obtain his blood."

Su Yu was quite familiar with what these experts could do with blood. Back then, he was there to personally witness how Silk Destroying King had used a single drop of blood to rewind time and search for the real murderer. Basically, Invincibles were terrifying.

Thus, he had been very diligent in removing all traces of his presence recently to prevent any Invincible from tracking him. The starry sky of the Allheaven Battlefield was as beautiful as ever.

Countless stars illuminated the earth below from the boundless sky above. The death of every Sunmoon would cause the fall of a moon, but the spectacle would not spread too far. Things would be entirely different when an Invincible perished. The phenomenon produced would be massive enough to be visible throughout the Allheaven Battlefield.

Su Yu had never witnessed something like that, but he had a dream. A dream to generate such spectacular views with his own hands in the future. He was still maintaining his disguise as a burly human.

He moved cautiously, constantly searching his surroundings with every step. He was traveling to a place as dangerous as the Allheaven Battlefield alone. Any carelessness might cause his end.

After leaving the immediate vicinity of Empyrean Cloud City, he would officially step out of the Plain of Desires. This was a completely uninhabited region with no cities or supply centers. The region between the Plain of Desires and the Sea of Stars was known as the Allsea Shore.

As the name suggested, this name came about from its proximity to the Sea of Stars. Of course, the Allsea Shore was also a region full of dangers. Some of the dangers came from actual living beings, while some came from the environment itself.

Night descended.

Su Yu was not the only person traveling through the wilderness.

Some were flying in the sky, and some were riding their mounts on the ground. Every traveler maintained a large distance from the other travelers. Nobody took the initiative to approach anyone.

A certain group of people was among these travelers. Traveling atop a flying ship, they were moving rapidly in the sky.

Standing proudly at the helm of the ship was a young man and a a young woman. From high in the sky, they overlooked the world below.

Immortals.

Even from afar, Su Yu could see that this was a group of immortals.

They all looked exceptionally young. Every immortal had an ethereal presence about them with the mystical qi constantly swirling around them. But as far as Su Yu was concerned, the so-called mystical qi was probably a result of their tendency to fart during cultivation. Everyone had misunderstood their fart for some sort of magical and mystical qi. Ethereal presence? Su Yu believed that this term was mere propaganda.

Several dots could be seen on his Perception Jade, highlighting the number of individuals in the flying ship. There were sixteen of them. This was a rather strong group. There were three Mountainseas, six Cloudbreaches, and seven Skysoars in the group.

Deep in the Allheaven Battlefield, the Skysoar Realm was truly the basic realm one needed to reach to survive. The people loftily overlooking the world from the flying ship noticed Su Yu as well.

"A human Skysoar."

"He's decently strong. He feels like a peak Skysoar."

The youths talked about Su Yu with contempt. In the Allheaven Battlefield, a Skysoar was nothing special.

One of them laughed, "I guess this is pretty respectable. Look at him traveling alone in the Allsea Shore. He must be pretty strong if he has the courage to do something like this. He also looks like a warrior. He's probably someone from Great Qin or Great Xia of the Human Realm."

This wasn't even a hard guess. For the most part, a human warrior with the courage to go this far alone as a Skysoar would be someone from either Great Xia or Great Qin. Of course, it was also possible that this was one of those fearless vultures making a living in the Allheaven Battlefield.

"Do you think he knows Su Yu?"

The moment Su Yu was mentioned, someone sighed, "Jiu Xuan is dead. Su Yu...is truly brazen. I heard Immortal King Xuan He--"

"Speak cautiously!"

An old Mountainsea berated the youths and stopped them from gossiping about the immortal king.

A different dao protector said, "When traveling outside, you must remain cautious at all times. Do not do anything rash lest you end up provoking a powerful enemy. This includes the human down there. You might think that he's a Skysoar, but that might not be the case. Even if he's a Skysoar, that does not mean that he's weak. Su Yu is only a Cloudbreach. And Liu Wenyan is also a fresh Cloudbreach. So what?"

The old man started lecturing the youths, "Some of you are new here. Some of you have been in the Allheaven Battlefield for a few years. But most of you have never left the northern sector before."

The immortals controlled the northern sector, the divines controlled the western sector, and the devils controlled the southern sector. This was common knowledge in the Allheaven Battlefield.

Empyrean Cloud City was near the northern side of the Allheaven Battlefield so this was the usual route the immortals would take when heading toward the Sea of Stars. The youths nodded obediently. True. Some of them had been in the Allheaven Battlefield for several years, but this was the first time they were leaving the immortal territory.

The Sea of Stars was located at the center of the Allheaven Battlefield. It was massive. And strictly speaking, the four sectors could be considered the shores of the Sea of Stars. Nevertheless, the Sea of Stars did not pose any trouble for the various warring races in the Allheaven Battlefield.

That was because the sea actually floated in the sky. Yes. The entire sea floated in the sky. That was how it became known as the Sea of Stars. And right below the Sea of Stars was a massive piece of land known as the Seabed Continent.

That piece of land was the main battlefield of the various races. Meanwhile, places such as the Eastrift Valley were merely the defensive lines of the various races. Only minor skirmishes would break out there. Most large-scale battles would happen at the Seabed Continent. That was a place the armies and experts of the various races had a direct connection to.

***

While the immortals were conversing in their flying ship, Su Yu slightly changed his route to move out of their range. But right at that moment, someone on the ship spoke, "Human below, which prefecture are you from?"

Su Yu looked up doubtfully. Were they picking a fight?

Were they trying to gift him their lives? Then again, there were three Mountainseas on the ship. One of them was most likely a peak Mountainsea. This was indeed quite a powerful group. Nevertheless, they weren't strong enough to pose a threat to him.

He replied with a slightly wary tone, "Great Xia."

"Indeed."

The immortal nodded with a smile, seemingly satisfied with the accuracy of his judgment Just moments ago, they were guessing the origin of this human. This immortal had insisted that the human came from Great Xia while a different immortal argued that this human was from Great Qin. Clearly, he was the victor of this argument.

"Are you going to the Sea of Stars?"

Su Yu had no choice but to answer, "Yes. I'm going there to make some purchases."

"Are you interested in coming with us?"

The young immortal smiled, "You're alone. The Allsea Shore is not a safe place. Don't worry. As for the price, you only need to answer a few questions about the human race. The immortals and humans are still allies. You don't have to be wary of us."

Su Yu replied cautiously, "I dare not trouble you, respected immortals."

The youth smiled, "It's fine. Human, it is rude to reject a polite invitation. What do you think?"

Behind the youth, the dao protector sent him a voice transmission, "Don't make any trouble. We're heading to Ninestar Island to bear witness to the grace of the various geniuses. Don't waste your time on this human."

"Don't worry. I only want to learn more about the human race. We still know too little about them. A lot of the people from the previous generations went to the Human Realm before, but those from our generation have never been there."

The three Mountainseas said nothing else and started scanning Su Yu with their willpower. It was never a bad idea to be cautious. These days, traveling while hiding one's strength was rather popular. A freak like Su Yu had just emerged among the human race. It would be wise for them to stay away from the humans for now.

Furthermore, Dao King had also issued an order to properly inspect any lone human they encountered to verify if that human was Su Yu in disguise.

They weren't sure if Su Yu was capable of disguising himself as a non-human, but they were sure he had a character capable of altering his appearance into that of a different human. Thus, they had to be cautious whenever they met a lone human.
