Tribulation of Myriad Races

While swearing, Zhao Li swallowed the chunk of blessing. Immediately, he started smoking from the top of his head as his blood boiled. Then, he roared, "Continue! Tear me another piece!"

"..."

Zhao Tianbing and the others were left completely speechless.

Shameless!

In truth, they were feeling quite envious. The power of the laws was too dense. Normally, the laws wouldn't release so much of their power for a mere tribulation or phenomenon. However, this was a unique situation where different sets of laws were clashing against each other, forcing the laws to constantly reinforce their power here.

As a result, Su Yu was able to benefit from the clashes between the laws.

"So this is how the world looks like when you're favored by fortune."

Zhao Tianbing couldn't help but feel amazed at Su Yu's luck.

No wonder the Immortal Pseudo Emperor believed that there was a possibility that Su Yu would survive the tribulation. If he had believed that the tribulation would kill Su Yu, he wouldn't have bothered to issue a kill order.

As for Zhao Li, he was overjoyed to notice that he was recovering rapidly after consuming a tiny chunk of the reward.

Incredible!

In his excitement, he started shouting at Su Yu while hammering the book, "Idiot! Beat both of them up! Maintain a balance between the two! Don't allow either side to gain an absolute advantage over the other or the laws will fade away!"

Clearly, the two were starting to milk the heavenly laws.

Both of them were geniuses. They were able to quickly notice that when one party gained a large advantage over the other, the laws would stop reinforcing them. But if the two were evenly matched, the laws would keep reinforcing them.

Wasn't this the perfect chance to milk the laws?

The crimson men could be used to forge the book while the Human Emperor's blessings could be used to recover and strengthen themselves.

This was an incredibly rare opportunity. It was unheard of for a single individual to cause multiple sets of heavenly laws with opposing purposes to appear at the same time. And now, something like this had happened. Perhaps not even the ancient experts had expected something like this to happen back when they were setting up these laws.

Su Yu was essentially resetting the tribulation and rewards to milk them endlessly. He was the first person to ever do something like this. Nobody could hope to replicate such a feat.

This wasn't something that would happen just because someone was forging a divine weapon. After all, such a tribulation would not appear for a divine weapon, even if it was a weapon of calamity. The fusion of the culture and radiance characters into the book was the main reason for this tribulation to appear.

This was an extremely unique situation. Too many coincidences would be required to replicate the conditions today. One had to forge the same weapon and complete one's body forging at the same time to replicate a situation like this.

Not even Su Yu himself could replicate the same circumstances. After all, he did not have a second set of culture and radiance characters. Under Zhao Li's urging, Su Yu joined the battle and started attacking both parties.

The crimson men were being used to fuel his weapon forging while the blessings were used to strengthen himself.

Inside his sea of willpower, the little furball was also madly eating the heavenly rewards even when he was about to blow up from eating too much. Even as he was eating, he shouted anxiously, "Yummy! I want to eat as well! I want to eat! Leave some to me! Ahhhh! So yummy!"

This was too yummy. If he had to die for this, so be it. The blessings were simply too yummy! Even the iron devourer was a victim of Su Yu's greed. One of its ears had been torn off by Su Yu, and the little furball was taking the chance to feast on the ear as well. This was too delicious!

Prior to this, Su Yu had transformed 144 of his acupoints. Now that he was absorbing the power of the laws, his remaining acupoints were consuming the power he was absorbing, slowly pushing him to the first stage of Cloudbreach Realm.

All his acupoints were shining brightly. Even the death qi in his body was being eroded by the power of the heavenly laws.

Xing Yue, who was in the middle of sending death qi to Su Yu, cursed, "I quit!"

Screw that!

Just die already!

How dare that bastard erode the death qi she had kindly sent his way with the power of the laws? All her death qi had gone to waste. Damn that bastard!

Su Yu was too busy to spare Xing Yue any attention.

When he noticed the tribulation and the blessings fading away, he yelled in desperation, "Don't go! Please don't go!"

He was using this chance to open more apertures as well. The power of the heavenly laws seemed capable of replenishing both his source qi and willpower at the same time. He couldn't bear to part with them.

One aperture after another opened.

Inside his sea of willpower, his characters started pulsing.

Nourished by the power of the heavenly laws, all of them were shining brightly. His sea of willpower was filled to the brim with willpower. However, he wasn't able to advance as he had not fused any of his apertures.

Thus, the excess energy was directed to expand his apertures and sea of willpower. At the same time, he started hammering himself to compress his willpower.

Zhao Li was also madly absorbing whatever he could while hammering the book.

While doing so, he roared, "What are you doing, you piece of trash! Faster! They're fading away! Faster!"

More and more incomplete golden stripes appeared. 125 stripes. 126 stripes.

At the same time, Zhao Li's willpower was growing rapidly. He even went through an advancement from the fifth stage to the sixth stage while hammering the book. But after the advancement, he started suppressing himself to prevent himself from advancing too quickly.

As the milking continued, the crimson men started shrinking in size.

The blessings of the Human Emperor were shrinking as well.

The same was happening to the iron devourer.

Seeing that, Su Yu wailed sorrowfully.

"NOO!"

Please!

Don't go!

His miserable wails spread far and wide. The numerous experts who were in search of him heard his wails. All of them were alarmed.

Dead?

Was Su Yu dead?

Those wails of his...sounded way too miserable.

They could sense the raw emotions behind those wails. Only grief and sorrow could be heard from those wails. Was he dead? Or was he gravely injured? Up in the sky, the various phenomena started fading away.

Su Yu wailed with despair.

No! Please!

His weapon had yet to become an embryonic divine weapon. He had yet to open all 290 of his apertures. His characters had yet to become Sunmoon characters. His 360 acupoints had yet to fully transform. He had yet to become a first-stage Cloudbreach. How could they leave him like this?

No!

Su Yu had never felt so sorrowful before. Such a good opportunity was flying away from him. This could very well be the very first time something like this had happened. He did not want it to end like this.

"No!"

He roared with both grief and fury. With their final attacks, the crimson men and blessings had killed each other off. How cruel. They should have left some for him! Even Grandstar was grimacing, not knowing what to feel.

Fuck!

This damn bastard should be rejoicing at the fact that he had survived milking the heavenly laws. Why was he crying so miserably after gaining such a huge benefit from the laws? Was he not ashamed?

Yes. Su Yu was really crying. The power of the laws was too incredible.

After getting a taste of the heavenly laws, he could no longer settle for trash like heavenly source qi, heavenearth profound light, and sunmoon profound yellow liquid.

Please stay!

He only needed a little bit more! He only needed to complete all his acupoint transformations and open all his remaining apertures. He only needed to push his book to 145 stripes. The book had yet to become an embryonic divine weapon.

Zhao Li was also wailing loudly, "Damn it! We're only a step away! Damn it! Curse you, heavens!"

They were stuck at 144 stripes.

They were only a stripe away.

"Su Yu! Get over here! Now!!"

Su Yu needed to take over when he was still in peak condition. Without the replenishment of the heavenly laws, Zhao Li had reached his limits yet again.

With a roar, Su Yu slammed his hammer down.

Boom!

Immediately after, Zhao Li crashed into the ground from the sky. While coughing blood, he said weakly, "C-continue...d-don't stop..."

As Su Yu hammered away, his skin started tearing apart.

Alas, the 145th incomplete stripe was nowhere to be seen.

In his desperation, Su Yu tossed a carrier treasure out and sent a voice transmission, "Lord, break it for me! I'm fusing it with the book!"

Fuck!

Grandstar swore inwardly.

What a wastrel!

Su Yu had already used a carrier treasure for this project before. Why was he using a second carrier treasure? He was too much of a wastrel!

Nevertheless, Grandstar still acted and crushed the carrier treasure before sending it toward the book. The moment the broken chunks of the carrier treasure landed on the book, it shone brightly.

This was a book that had fused with two carrier treasures.

Su Yu continued hammering the book. Finally, his flesh burst out of his body, leaving only his skin hanging onto his bones. The powerful recoil had nearly blasted his body apart.

The 145th golden stripe appeared momentarily, but it faded away soon after.

Su Yu, who was fully exhausted, could no longer continue. He started falling from the sky.

After crushing the carrier treasure for Su Yu, Grandstar had not been able to move the city away in time. Numerous experts arrived, only to be greeted with the sight of a bloodied Su Yu falling from the sky.

All of them were stunned.

A complicated look covered their eyes.

Also among the crowd was Niu Baidao. He flew toward the city with a complicated expression. He had yet to even hand the formation and talismans to Su Yu. Was Su Yu dead already?

"Is Su Yu...dead?"

The experts looked at each other, wondering if Su Yu had really died to the tribulation.

"He's probably...still alive. He's seriously injured, but he's still breathing. If he's really dead, things won't be so calm in the ancient city."

"Perhaps."

"Even if he's not dead, he's probably cripped. How long will he need to recover from such injuries?"

"At the very least, he won't be able to recover in time to enter the Luminous Domain Mansion anymore."

"Sigh."

"He's too greedy. Why did he forge a weapon of calamity for no reason?"

The experts had varying reactions. Some were regretful while some were impressed by his courage.

Full recovery from such injuries wouldn't be easy.

Also falling from the sky was the book he had been forging. At the moment, it looked completely unassuming. Seeing that, the various experts wondered if even the book had been ruined by the tribulation.

The moment Niu Baidao entered the city, it vanished again. Grandstar had decided to leave after noticing so much attention on them.

Before long, news of what happened spread everywhere. Apparently, Su Yu had ruined his body during his body forging.

He was dying.

***

The news shook the entire Allheaven Battlefield.

Su Yu had failed his weaponsmithing and ruined his body.

Immortal Realm.

Tiangu exhaled in relief. Good. Thank the heavens Su Yu had failed.

However, Su Yu was not dead. That was intolerable.

With Su Yu's injuries, he would not be able to enter the Luminous Domain Mansion. Tiangu was feeling quite regretful as that would be quite a good opportunity to kill Su Yu.

"What a monster. Just what is wrong about him? How did he provoke the blood tribulation of the assembly? A blood tribulation indicates that he can't be spared."

Even Tiangu himself was quite confused. He frowned and sank into thought. Whatever. If Su Yu died, the truth wouldn't matter.
