Tribulation of Myriad Races
Chapter Summary
At this time, the cloud tiger elder said, "Black Panther, Flying Wolf, the two of you can stay with the students. Suddenly, one of them asked, "Is something inside the mountain peak ahead of us blocking our scans? Bloodmoon, One-eye, Celestial Dragon Sect's Yun Fei, and Devil Scorpion Sect's Hong Chen were met with four different Mountainseas.
Chapter 582: The Fall of Mountainseas (1) Before a large mountain peak.
Su Yu stood there and looked at the mountain peak before crouching down and looking around.
His eyes flickered as he scanned the area.
Was this the place?
Was this the place he saw when reading the memories of the deceased sect master?
There were a lot of similarities.
"It's nearby.
Seniors, please check and see if any enemies are hiding around us.
" Su Yu added, "Spread out and watch out for any sneak attacks.
In the event of combat, ensure that the fight does not spread our way.
" In the sky, one Mountainsea after another appeared.
They all stayed about a kilometer away from Su Yu's group.
Su Yu was right.
If a fight broke out between Mountainseas, the resulting shockwaves could easily reach the students if they weren't far enough.
Among the dao protectors, there were six Mountainseas and two Cloudbreach cultivators.
Initially, there were three Cloudbreach cultivators, but one had perished.
Both of them were ninth-stage Cloudbreach cultivators.
They were respectively from the black panther and the flying wolf races.
At this time, the cloud tiger elder said, "Black Panther, Flying Wolf, the two of you can stay with the students.
It's enough for us to stand guard in the surroundings.
" Since these were Cloudbreach cultivators, the other Mountainseas weren't so confident in their ability to guard their surroundings.
The two did not argue.
Before long, both of them, each with the appearance of a middle-aged man, approached the group of students.
Both of them carried the unique characteristics of their respective races.
For example, the black panther expert had a lot of stripes on his face.
Su Yu did not say anything about that arrangement, but he kept his guard around them.
Both of these were not a part of Xia Qing's group.
Nevertheless, he couldn't be sure that they were on his side.
That was especially true since the cloud tiger elder had suggested that the two of them stick close to the students.
One of them could very well be working with Xia Qing's group as well.
Meanwhile, the Mountainseas started spreading around them.
The six Mountainseas consisted of Great Mountain, the cloud tiger, the sky horse, the mountain antelope, the barbaric bull, and the fox.
The mountain antelope sank into the ground to keep watch for any underground attacks while the sky horse vanished into the sky to prevent any air attacks.
The remaining four were spread in four directions around the students.
"Thank you, Seniors.
" Su Yu thanked the two experts who were nonchalantly keeping the black panther and flying wolf students behind them.
Meanwhile, the suanni and mountaindrill bull stood beside Su Yu.
Between the two, the flying wolf elder was the cultural researcher.
Su Yu could sense powerful willpower undulations coming from the flying wolf.
Meanwhile, the black panther elder was emitting powerful source qi undulations.
Clearly, he was a warrior.
Su Yu was very cautious.
He wasn't that worried about cultural researchers.
The little furball resting on his head might not have advanced, but should be useful in dealing with the Divine Characters of cultural researchers even if he wasn't strong enough to outright swallow the characters.
Thus, warriors would be far harder to deal with for Su Yu.
He said nothing else and resumed the journey.
The further he went, the more familiar his surroundings became.
The Mountainseas were also constantly scanning their surroundings.
Suddenly, one of them asked, "Is something inside the mountain peak ahead of us blocking our scans?
" "I think so.
" They were starting to get excited.
Was that the ruin?
Definitely!
In fact, they hadn't been able to sense anything when they first scanned the mountain peak.
Only after a few scans did they notice something off.
Something seemed to be blocking their scans.
The ruin was right ahead of them!
A formation capable of blocking the scans of Mountainseas was definitely not weak.
Su Yu was telling the truth, after all.
Was it dangerous to enter the ruin?
How was he supposed to open this entrance?
Would the ruin self-destruct if anyone other than Su Yu tried to open it?
None of them had an answer to all those questions.
Thus, their best choice was to wait for Su Yu to open the entrance.
They wouldn't want the ruin to self-destruct after going this far, right?
Su Yu continued his search.
Before long, he arrived before a depression on the mountain peak.
A stone wall stood ahead of him.
He could sense some character undulations coming from the wall.
There must be a character seal here, and this must be the entrance of the hidden vault.
How was he supposed to open this entrance?
Su Yu had no idea.
How was he supposed to know that?
But he didn't seem worried as he hollered to the group, "It's here.
We found it.
" They had arrived!
"Young Friend, are you opening the entrance immediately?
" Someone asked eagerly.
Su Yu looked around them and said, "Everyone, I can't take anyone inside.
I have to enter alone.
I will take no more than three hours inside...
" He added, "Senior Great Mountain, can you set up a formation here to prevent any spying?
" Right after those words were said, the old sky horse said, "Kid, you're doubting us for no reason!
" That was an insult to their integrity.
Why would they spy on him?
Then again, they might.
After all, they were all curious.
This was a ruin they were talking about!
Numerous thoughts bloomed in their minds.
Su Yu refused to take them in.
He was even refusing to let them see how he was going to open the entrance.
If they allowed him to enter, how long would he stay inside?
And who knew if he would leave from the same entrance?
Would he destroy the treasures inside the ruin?
Further away from them.
Several Mountainseas were gathered.
They had heard Su Yu's words as well.
Bloodmoon spoke impatiently, "Let's make our move.
What are we supposed to do if the kid decides to enter and stay a few years inside?
This kid is too sly.
He might be claiming that he only needs a few hours, but what can we do if he's lying?
Are we supposed to attack the ruin?
" It was time for them to make a move.
Their main goal was to kill the other Mountainseas and capture Su Yu.
Yu Hong was also getting impatient.
Thus, she said, "Let's move according to our plan.
Your group will deal with the Mountainseas.
We will capture Su Yu.
Your group will deal with that observer from the Xia Family...
" This was the arrangement they had agreed on before this.
Next, several streaks of light shot toward the direction of Su Yu's group.
"Enemy attack!
" Someone roared.
Rumble!
The experts on both sides instantly engaged each other in battle.
Bloodmoon, One-eye, Celestial Dragon Sect's Yun Fei, and Devil Scorpion Sect's Hong Chen were met with four different Mountainseas.
At the same time, after the encounter with Blood Rakshasha, the old sky horse fell from the sky while coughing blood.
He had encountered a seventh-stage Mountainsea!
The old antelope was about to rush over when the old sky horse roared, "Continue watching the ground.
I can hold on!
" The old sky horse was not weak.
He was a sixth-stage Mountainsea expert.
With a roar, he transformed into his true form: a large horse with a pair of wings and a golden coat of fur.
Both his size and strength had increased greatly after returning to his true form.
Without any hesitation, he stomped forth to face Blood Rakshasha yet again.
Yu Hong, Old Zheng, and Elder Li had yet to join the fight.
All three of them were waiting for something.
And sure enough, a ray of light abruptly shot over from further away.
The Xia Family observer had arrived.
The air before Yu Hong's face distorted to hide her appearance as she said through voice transmission, "It's Hu Hao.
He must die.
It's almost impossible for us to hide our identities from him.
" She recognized the newcomer.
This was a nephew of Administrator Hu, a powerful seventh-stage Mountainsea.
In fact, this person was quite familiar with Yu Hong.
Thus, if Hu Hao was left alive, their participation would be exposed.
"Old Zheng, let's join hands to kill him.
Old Li, you'll capture Su Yu.
" After saying that, Yu Hong shot forth unhesitatingly.
She vanished into the air as a character erupted in power.
Hu Hao was the same middle-aged Mountainsea who had guarded Su Yu during the Myriad Race Pit visit.
The moment he arrived, his expression changed as he shouted, "Sealed domain?
Who are you?
" The air around him had all frozen up.
Beyond the frozen air, two figures appeared.
The two figures remained silent.
This exchange was clearly displaying the mysteriousness of Mountainsea cultural researchers.
Right after the sealed domain appeared, a few more characters appeared.
As a seventh-stage Mountainsea, Yu Hong was no weakling.
She had eight characters in total.
She could be considered one of the members of the single character faction with the highest count of characters.
Her characters appeared, summoning harsh winds, mountains of daggers and seas of flames.
With a roar, Old Zheng released his character as well.
Unlike Yu Hong, he only had a single character.
The character transformed into a massive beast before entering the sealed domain and pouncing on Hu Hao.
The beast alone was as strong as a seventh-stage Mountainsea.
"Beast character!
" Hu Hao's expression changed as he said, "Sealed domain, mountains of daggers, seas of flames, and beast character!
Damn it!
It's the two of you!
" He was able to guess who these two were.
He wasn't perfectly sure, but he was pretty confident his guess was right.
He couldn't help but curse inwardly.
That damn Su Yu had warned him previously that he alone might not be enough for the coming trip.
He had not taken that warning seriously.
After all, he was a seventh-stage Mountainsea.
What was there to fear?
But now...
facing such opponents, he couldn't resist cursing.
Fuck!
What the fuck was wrong with that kid?
He had driven these people so mad that they were doing something this crazy?
None of these people would be able to escape death if what happened here was leaked.
Yu Hong merely said, "Since the cult wishes to kill you, you won't be able to survive.
" So what if Hu Hao recognized them?
He wouldn't be given the chance to report this!
A massive battle erupted.
Meanwhile, the students from Su Yu's group did not seem too surprised, including people like Li Minyu.
It was as though all of them had expected this to happen.
The two Cloudbreach dao protectors were standing guard near them nervously.
"Be careful!
" At this point, the old antelope finally lost his patience and shot into the sky.
The old sky horse was clearly not Blood Rakshasha's match.
Only a short while had passed yet the golden fur of the old sky horse had been dyed red with blood.
"Damn it!
Go back!
" The old sky horse roared furiously.
With this, the students on the ground were left unprotected.
He shouted, "Run!
A large formation has been laid around us!
Run and notify the Martial Dragon Guards!
" Fuck!
There were too many enemies!
They could feel that even the mysterious observer had been intercepted.
No, to be precise, that observer himself was in danger.
There were seven Mountainseas on their side, yet their enemies were able to keep every one of them occupied.
This Blood Rakshasha was a seventh-stage Mountainsea so the old sky horse was clearly not a match.
He was only doing slightly better after the old antelope arrived to help him.
But abruptly, his expression changed as he shouted in alarm, "Black Panther, Flying Wolf, stop the newcomer!
" Yet another Mountainsea had arrived.
It was Elder Li, A fourth-stage Mountainsea!
Like Yu Hong, the air in front of Elder Li distorted to hide his appearance.
Standing on empty air, his character manifested and unleashed a blizzard on the ground below.
Whoosh!
Both the black panther and the flying wolf roared, but they couldn't prevent the snowflakes from slicing into their bodies.
Before long, they were forced to return to their true forms.
With a roar, the black panther pounced on Elder Li.
Meanwhile, the flying roar summoned a cultural weapon before sending countless swords in Elder Li's direction.
The battle raged on.
Su Yu watched silently as though he was a bystander.
Even with Elder Li nearby, he did not seem worried.
Even when the two Cloudbreach dao protectors were constantly forced to retreat, he remained indifferent.
After a short moment, he decided to ignore them.
Instead, he walked up to the stone wall and started releasing numerous character undulations.
At the same time, he sliced his palm and allowed his blood to flow onto the stone wall.
As he did that, the wall started shaking.
Su Yu appeared incredibly calm, giving off the impression that he was going to take refuge in the ruin.
And he seemed incredibly confident in the ruin's ability to protect him.
Seeing that, Yu Hong said, "Stop him!
Don't allow him to enter!
" Hearing that, Elder Li increased the intensity of his blizzard.
His two opponents bitterly resisted even as they bled profusely.
In his desperation, the black panther asked, "Su Yu, how long do you need?
" "Three minutes.
" Su Yu replied, "Seniors, you only need to stop them for three minutes.
After that, you may escape independently.
They are aiming for this ruin, but they won't be able to enter after I enter.
Retreat and ask for help.
Great Xia won't spare them.
" "Alright.
" The old sky horse and the others answered loudly as they continued fighting bitterly.
If Su Yu could enter the ruin, these attackers would have failed in their mission.
In that situation, would these people continue fighting them to the death?
