Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 2163: Kinghood Stripped (3)

"A human lord with Xing Yu's token and a sense of responsibility toward humanity..."

A certain understanding dawned on Human Emperor. "So that bastard rejected my dao and pioneered his own tiny dao. Can his puny dao compare against my great dao?"

Human Emperor was furious. Was that little shit looking down on him? His great dao was incomparably powerful. It was far from complete, but it was still far more powerful than the dao pioneered by a puny Sunmoon.

But soon, he understood something else. "Did he reject my dao...to pioneer a dao of life and death to save you?"

He shook. "Little Sister, are you...close to this Su Yu?"

Xing Yue thought about it. Probably?

Thus, she nodded.

Human Emperor's expression changed.

A supreme genius and a human lord who was very responsible. However, he was conquered by Xing Yue, who was still a death spirit at the time. And for the sake of Xing Yue, he abandoned his empire.

What?

Beauty over empire?

Human Emperor was quite furious at having his dao rejected, but Su Yu had rejected his dao to save Xing Yue. Human Emperor's had complicated feelings about this. Only a great hero would trigger the inheritance of his dao.

That would be someone as outstanding as him. Was this a pity? Yes, it was truly a pity. Such a talent had actually renounced the great dao for Xing Yue's sake. Human Emperor didn't know what to feel about this.

He looked at his little sister and sighed. He would feel even sadder if it weren't for the fact that Xing Yue was his very own little sister.

"Su Yu. The tenth human lord."

Human Emperor muttered, not knowing what he should say about this human lord.

***

At the same time.

Behind the Heaven Gate.

Martial King and Culture King were in the middle of an escape. Suddenly, both blanked out.

Martial King asked, "Did you feel that?"

No shit!

The man in white did not deign to answer that question.

The burly man asked with shock, "Control King's title was just stripped. Is that so?"

Yes. But the man in white did not feel like answering the obvious question.

"Who did it? This doesn't feel like the boss. How is this happening?"

The man in white still didn't feel like talking.

"Have you gone mute, Old Wen?"

The man in white continued fleeing in silence. After a while, he finally panted and said, "I don't know. And I can't be bothered to ask. It's pointless to speculate now. As for the culprit, it should be someone you met before."

"Someone I met before?"

Martial King blinked. After a short moment, his jaw dropped. "That guy from before?"

"Most likely."

"Your kid?"

"No, your daddy."

The man in white was annoyed. He had explained several times that the guy from before wasn't his kid. Was this bastard deaf or something?

Martial King curled his lips. But soon, he smiled and said, "Well, it doesn't matter. By the way, when will we be able to save Wen Yu?"

"I don't know."

The man in white sank into silence again. Sensing the melancholic atmosphere, Martial King shut his mouth.

But mere moments later, he asked, "Wen Yu isn't going to die soon, right?"

"..."

What an inauspicious mouth. The man in white had the urge to give the burly guy a beating.

"I'll save her!"

Martial King declared solemnly. He was duty-bound to rescue the little sister of his brother.

He continued with the same solemn tone, "After rescuing her, I'll be your brother-in-law. Wen Yu is somewhat ugly, and she does not fit my taste, but I'm willing to sacrifice this much for you."

The look in the man in white's eyes turned dangerous.

Martial King said awkwardly, "I was only cheering myself up. I need to keep myself motivated, you know."

"Shut up."

"Fine, fine. Oh, by the way, get her to eat more after rescuing her. She's so pitifully thin."

The burly man sighed inwardly. Old Wen had served his little sister so much that she was all bones.

How pitiful.

She must have gotten even slimmer after falling into the crisis here. Poor girl. He had only offered to become Old Wen's brother-in-law to improve Old Wen's mood. Did Old Wen really believe he would do that?

No way!

The man in white ignored the burly man and continued moving forward. After some time, he said, "Stop worrying about what's happening outside."

"I'm not worrying at all."

At that, Culture King sank into silence again. Yes, that was probably true. The burly guy had only mentioned the matter after sensing it happening.

***

Atop the Bamboo Mountain.

Su Yu was pale from the exhaustion of his fortune power, but he was roaring with laughter.

Control King?

No more.

Henceforth, there would only be Control. It didn't matter if Control King was dead or behind the Hell Gate. There was nothing he could do about this. A human lord had stripped him of his title.

Perhaps Control King himself would be fine due to his sheer strength, but this would have a big impact on his lineage.

To the side, Giant Axe said blankly, "Your Majesty...did that really happen? Or...were you only shouting?"

Did he really strip Control King's title?

Su Yu glanced at the marquis and smiled, "Giant Axe Marquis, maybe I can try doing it to you. You can see for yourself if it really works."

"..."

No!

Nope!

He was uninterested in risking his title.

Su Yu laughed and said, "It's not that hard to strip a king of their title. As long as Human Emperor agrees, it can be done. Of course, this won't matter too much for Control since he still has his strength.

"But his descendants won't be unaffected. The effect won't be too big, but things like lucky escapes or surviving fatal dangers might no longer happen to them.

"This is what I want. I will sever all hope. The moment a battle starts, they can onl fight until the very end. Escape is no longer possible for them. A withdrawal can easily turn into a rout. They need to thank me for this boost of motivation."

March nodded. But soon, he asked solemnly, "Your Majesty, did you hurt yourself doing that to them?"

Su Yu nodded. "It's no big deal. It's only a tiny bit of drain on my fortune."

He was speaking the truth. The effect was minimal on him. As long as he was strong enough, his fortune would continue growing. He had just reached his peak in terms of fortune. And even his world was producing new fortune. He was also slowly accumulating his luck power to create his own dao of fortune.

Su Yu had accomplished two major feats on his first day back. Or to be precise, he had accomplished three major feats.

He had defeated Yue Hao and Yue Luo, secured the release of the iron devourers, and stripped Control King's title. That had probably generated a great enmity from Control King's lineage.

But Su Yu seemed completely fearless as his voice rang out again, "Sinned lineage, you need to pick up the speed if you really want to summon that Master of Law back. Otherwise, I'll ruin your plan! Hahaha!

"Consider burning a few Venerables as the fuel to accelerate the process. The myriad races are quite dumb. They hesitate too much. But I'm Su Yu. I don't hesitate. Offending me is the same as courting death, so get ready to die."

Silence was his answer.

***

Meanwhile, the various powerhouses on the Human Mountain looked at each other in silence. After a long while, Sacred Marquis said, "Are they...really summoning a Master of Law?"

In that case, they couldn't afford to wait for Su Yu to visit them anymore.

He continued, "Let's visit him instead. He has that Heavenbridge Gate under him. He might really know something we don't. I suggest...we cooperate with him for now."

Previously, they intended to wait for Su Yu to come and beg for cooperation. But the situation had reversed. Su Yu was so crazy that it felt like he fully intended to fight alone. Instead of asking for their cooperation, he was waiting for them to ask for his cooperation.

He was truly impressive. He had snatched the initiative right after arriving at the Upper Realm. Everything he had said about a discussion in three or five days was nothing but a joke. It was likely that he wouldn't bother to actually visit them.

Corona Venerable spoke as well, "Let's have a talk with Su Yu. We can't allow them to summon a proper Master of Law. Even if we can defeat such an opponent, we will lose a few Venerables doing so."

This time, the myriad races were sufficiently efficient. They reached an agreement after only a short discussion. They had decided to pay Su Yu a visit.

Su Yu's side wasn't weak. More importantly, his side was filled with lunatics. These were the perfect partners to have against Control King's lineage. As for the Consort Emeritus' previous suggestion that they should drag things out, it was no longer feasible.

They had to attack Control King's lineage as soon as possible. The Consort Emeritus sighed but said nothing. She really wanted to drag things out, but that was clearly not an option anymore. She could guess that perhaps even this was one of Su Yu's plans.

Su Yu was too much of a freak. He seemed capable of predicting that everyone would want to drag things out. Thus, he ruined the plan through a single battle. After the battle, everyone was left with no choice but to move at his pace.

Thanks to him, the myriad races and Control King's lineage were left with no choice but to prepare for battle.

Among the crowd, Tiangu had a thoughtful look. After a long silence, he said, "A cooperation with him might be a good thing for us. We can kill more enemies and suffer fewer losses by working with him. We only need to be careful against his schemes while working with him."

He understood very well how comfortable it was to have an ally like Su Yu. That was someone with endless trickery. He was always capable of grasping the most crucial of information and acting before his opponents could react.

Tiangu had been feeling quite helpless about this. The myriad races had created a decent intelligence system, yet Su Yu was always better at them at intelligence collection. For example, the myriad races were completely unaware about Control King's lineage to summon a Master of Law.

Meanwhile, Su Yu had learned of it right after arriving at the Upper Realm. In comparison, the myriad races seemed like utter trash. Tiangu sighed. Once again, Su Yu had seized the initiative.
