Slaughter Across the Four Directions!

He was dead! Half-Emperor Tianyuan, who had bestridden multiple tides, had fallen! Having harmonized with the Dao in the First Tide, he had survived all the way through to the Tenth Tide. He was the first Dao Harmonizer born to the Tianyuan race following the cataclysm of antiquity—and their only one. Now, he was dead. Dead by the hand of King Dazhou! He was also the very first Dao Harmonization expert to die across the myriad realms in the last six thousand years! The Allheaven Battlefield had been sealed for nearly five millennia before reopening almost a thousand years ago. In six thousand years of history, the first Dao Harmonizer had fallen today! King Dazhou's voice reverberated from the Tianyuan Realm, resounding between heaven and earth. "Let the slaying of a Half-Emperor serve as congratulations to our human race on the birth of our Holy Lord!" "Today, the extermination of the Tianyuan race shall be a grand triumph for humanity!" King Dazhou's voice shook the heavens as he proclaimed, "I have entered Dao Harmonization and slain Lingyuan! Any among the myriad races of the heavens willing to make common cause with humanity, deploy your troops this instant! Regardless of past grievances, bygones shall be bygones! As for those who dare stand as our enemies, let the Tianyuan race be your lesson! In today's war of extermination, our race stands triumphant! Let the myriad worlds, all races, and all living things make their choice!" "From antiquity to this day, humanity has fought a hundred battles without dying, weathered a hundred wars without being extinguished!" "One hundred thousand years could not destroy us, and after one hundred thousand years, none shall do so still!" At this moment, King Dazhou's phantom projection loomed across the heavens. Overbearing! Almighty! In the Tenth Tide, the human race had birthed its first Dao Harmonization expert! No one knew whether he had harmonized through divine characters or through his physical body. That was of no importance. What mattered was that Half-Emperor Tianyuan had been slain by his hand! King Dazhou! Shock resonated through the heavens! The myriad realms roiled! Lesser races trembled; major races were shaken to their core. Where should they go from here? The Tenth Allheaven War had begun! Today marked its official commencement. With the fall of a Dao Harmonizer as its opening curtain, the war of the myriad races had truly been unleashed. From this day forth, Dao Harmonizers could also be slain and could also fall! Half-Emperors were no longer immortal, indestructible existences! This was the greatest upheaval of the entire tide. The heavens shuddered, and the rules of the world churned. This was a farewell to a fallen Dao Harmonizer! This was a cheer for a newly ascended one! ... At that moment, King Dazhou's voice echoed all the way into the Human Realm! The Human Realm quaked! In the Great Zhou Prefecture, destiny soared like a dragon! Not only that, atop Su Yu's crown, destiny surged boundlessly! Su Yu could feel it! He could feel that the instant heaven and earth shook and Half-Emperor Tianyuan fell, a hundred and forty-four golden patterns blazed to life across his crown, even faintly showing signs of evolving toward a divine weapon! Astounding! A mighty tide of destiny! A monumental victory for the human race! At the cost of three fallen Invincibles, they had slain a Half-Emperor! Meanwhile, Su Yu was drenched in blood. He had already cleaved one Invincible to death, and the other four were covered in gore. Hearing that booming proclamation, shock and disbelief washed over their faces! A colossal victory for humanity! A Dao Harmonizer slain, a mighty race exterminated! The Tianyuan race was wiped out! Today, this formidable lineage preserved since antiquity had its roots severed in the myriad realms. King Dazhou had attained Dao Harmonization! At that moment, cheers erupted from every corner of the human territories. "Certain victory!" "Certain victory!" Heaven and earth trembled as voices rang out in unison from all directions! They had won! King Dazhou and the others had triumphed! They had slain a Half-Emperor powerhouse! Even though intense fighting still engulfed the Human Realm and countless humans were dying in battle, it could not quell the soaring joy in everyone's hearts. "Hahaha!" Su Yu burst into loud laughter. With a deafening boom, the power within his crown flared. Seizing the opening, he severed an Invincible's head with a single blade strike! Rumble! A blood cloud gathered once more! Of the four Invincibles, only three remained! Up to this point, Su Yu had slain six Invincibles today. He himself was grievously wounded, death qi overflowing from his body. Beneath his feet, a ghostly Netherworld gate faintly flickered as if on the verge of opening! Outside, the ancient city guards were locked in brutal combat, and the spread of death qi was becoming difficult even for Su Yu to bear! The remaining three Invincibles retreated in haste, grief etching their faces. Helplessness washed over them! Su Yu's combat prowess was simply too terrifying. Of course, their siege had not been entirely in vain—Su Yu was nearly spent. Battles raged in every direction! Facing humanity's Invincible experts, the twenty-two foreign Invincibles still maintained a slight overall advantage. Over on Little King Zhou's side, even with the mother ball reinforcing them, it was finding the fight strenuous. It had barely managed to kill an Invincible, an expert at the Eternal seventh stage! The toll on its energy was immense! From the start, it had pinned two Eternals, forcefully swallowed an Invincible, and quickly slain another... In a short span of time, the mother ball had killed four Invincibles—three at the seventh stage and one at the sixth. All of them were top-tier experts! Of course, the kills of King Xue and the others had been credited to Su Yu's tally! Presently, three Invincible powerhouses surrounded the mother ball, while Little King Zhou and King Tianzhu teamed up to corner another. The mother ball was bound to win eventually, but among the three facing it was a seventh-stage expert alongside two at the sixth stage. The mother ball was growing irritable! It was powerful, but that power was only overwhelming relative to the Eternal Realm. Among Dao Harmonizers, it was merely a latecomer. It had not been nurtured by the Heavenly King of Culture and was far inferior to Doubao; it had been conceived and raised by Doubao at the tail end of antiquity. In its youth, it had seen some top-tier ancient figures, including the Heavenly King of Culture, but had never received personal guidance from those supreme beings. Now, after fighting for so long, the mother ball was feeling drained. And thoroughly enraged! It felt it was losing face as a ball. It had taken this long just to kill a few Eternals, and these three weaklings actually dared block it instead of fleeing! They showed it no respect whatsoever! If word got out, where would its dignity go? Infuriated, the mother ball fumed internally: *You look down on a ball, do you?* *I am an existence that plans to eat Tiangu!* The next instant, its fury boiled over completely. It expanded ten-million-fold, its maw turning into a bottomless black hole that swallowed heaven and earth whole! The three powerhouses vanished instantly! All three went straight into the mother ball's belly! Rumble! The colossal sphere warped as bulges repeatedly burst outward. The three experts inside unleashed desperate, frenzied strikes, trying to carve a way out and tear its stomach apart. Ferocity exploded from the mother ball as it snapped angrily, "How dare you refuse to be eaten obediently!" It was infuriated! The God-Devouring race was vicious by nature. Now entirely enraged, the mother ball compressed itself—shrinking, shrinking, continually compressing! In the blink of an eye, it reduced itself to the size of a speck of dust. Boom! A catastrophic roar echoed from the mother ball's location, tearing heaven and earth asunder! Three dark clouds gathered overhead! A torrential downpour of blood cascaded down! Blown by the simultaneous self-destructions of the three Invincibles, the mother ball ballooned and contracted erratically, careening across the sky like a deflating balloon! In its fury, it had swallowed all three at once. Realizing they had no way out, the three Invincibles had chosen self-destruction! A moment later, the booming ceased. The mother ball returned to its original size, its gaze noticeably weary. It had pushed itself too hard by swallowing them all together, and the explosion had left it thoroughly battered. Over where Little King Zhou and King Tianzhu were fighting, the remaining Invincible turned and fled without a word! Of the five Invincibles on that side, the mother ball had wiped out four in an instant. Even though the ball looked visibly injured—and quite severely at that—he dared not fight any longer. He ran! Little King Zhou and King Tianzhu gave chase immediately! They could not allow an Invincible to rampage through the Human Realm unchecked. Otherwise, an entire prefecture's populace could be slaughtered by a single expert. With that, their sector had achieved a sweeping victory! ... However, it was not total victory everywhere. Just as Su Yu severed an Invincible and the mother ball swallowed the three, a heavy sigh echoed in the distance! A massive explosion resounded! Over by Yun Chen's group, one of the three elderly figures sighed, and with a thunderous roar, detonated himself! The blast sent an opposing Invincible coughing up mouthfuls of blood, his three-life embodiments forcibly severed. Their sector was in the greatest peril! Seven enemy Invincibles! On their side, there were five Invincibles and two Quasi-Invincibles—seven in total as well. But their strength was far inferior, especially the two Quasi-Invincibles. The three elders were also weak—not from a lack of cultivation, but because their three-life embodiments had been shattered and had not fully recovered. Even though King Daqin had brought back carriers to aid their restoration, full recovery could not happen overnight. All seven were at a disadvantage. Seeing that he was no match and would soon be slain, this human Invincible chose to self-destruct! Even in death, he would buy time! The mother ball had won! Su Yu seemed close to finishing his foes as well. Farther away, King Dayuan had fought a bloody battle and killed one Invincible, but two remained, leaving him unable to reinforce the others. The old man chose self-destruction! At this moment, the destiny surging atop Su Yu's crown suddenly trembled! Within the Human Realm, the Dazheng Prefecture shook violently! King Dazheng! The elder was actually a founding prefecture king! Far away, the governor of the Dazheng Prefecture was battling Sun Moon experts when tears suddenly streamed down his face. Cleaving down a rampaging Sun Moon expert, he gazed into the distance and fell to his knees. "Father!" That was his father! Years ago, his father's embodiments had been destroyed—not just one, but two. Left with only a single embodiment, he had barely managed to cling to life, living in seclusion for years and rarely appearing. Had no heavenly omens appeared, everyone would have assumed he was dead. The Dazheng governor had known his father still lived. Yet today... he had truly died. With twenty-four foreign Invincibles infiltrating the Human Realm, Su Yu and the others could not cover every front. In the end... blood had to be paid. With incomplete embodiments and dwindled strength, his father had become the first founding prefecture lord to die in battle within the Human Realm! King Dazheng! Dawei, Dawu, Daqi, Dachen, Daliang, Dayue, Dazheng... To this day, seven of the thirty-six founding lords had fallen. Years ago, the Human Realm possessed far more than thirty-six Invincibles. When the turmoil across the heavens first erupted, over fifty Invincibles had emerged from the ruins. Many had perished along the way, leaving thirty-six to establish prefectures. Of those fifty-plus Invincibles, only twenty-nine remained today. ... "Old Zheng..." Amidst the fray, Niu Baidao wavered for an instant, and his opponent's sword pierced his throat. He was already outmatched, and holding on until now had pushed him to his limits! With King Dazheng's self-destruction, Niu Baidao felt faint and spent. Seizing the opening, his opponent struck him heavily. Niu Baidao barely managed to wrench himself free, blood gushing from his throat. He gave a bitter smile. Helplessness filled him! He had only just attained the Dao; how could he possess such overwhelming might? That brat Su Yu had overestimated them! The others were powerless to help, unable to contain their own foes. Marquis Xia and Zhu Tiandao were now reduced to single embodiments, fleeing frantically while harrying their opponents. Several more had joined their ranks of solitary survivors. How could they continue fighting? Just as Niu Baidao hovered on the brink of death and Marquis Xia and Zhu Tiandao were pushed to the edge, Qin Zhen, Liu Wushen, and Zhou Potian tore through the void. The battles had erupted too swiftly, and rushing across the realm took time. Even after giving everything and burning their blood essence, they were still one step too late! King Dazheng had detonated himself! Qin Zhen thrust his spear forward with a furious bellow, blocking Marquis Xia's opponent. Rebounding, Qin Zhen spat blood. Marquis Xia tumbled several times, scrambling to Qin Zhen's side. Qin Zhen smiled bitterly. "Down to one embodiment as well?" Marquis Xia was speechless! What kind of talk was that? As a Quasi-Invincible holding off a genuine Invincible this long, having only one embodiment left was perfectly natural. Not dying was already proof of his sheer competence! Over on the other side, Zhou Potian let out a fierce shout, repelling the Invincible attempting to finish Niu Baidao with a thunderous blow. Liu Wushen barely managed to rescue Zhu Tiandao, sighing, "Weren't you supposedly an expert who slaughtered four Invincibles?" Zhu Tiandao was weak! In truth, Zhu Tiandao was far from weak; his opponent was at the Eternal fourth stage. For him to last until now and only lose two embodiments was already impressive. Hearing that, Zhu Tiandao said weakly, "The fact that I'm still breathing is a blessing from the heavens!" What else could he say? Soon, he looked toward the spot where the explosion's aftermath still raged. From the smoke, an Invincible drenched in blood strode out with a vicious grin, glaring at them. King Dazheng's self-destruction had failed to kill him! It had merely destroyed one of his embodiments! Even with Zhou Potian's trio arriving, they could not turn the tide. Though the other sectors suffered heavy casualties, the seven Invincibles here were in far better shape. Only this one was unlucky enough to lose an embodiment to King Dazheng's blast; the remaining six were virtually unscathed! Meanwhile, on humanity's side, including the three newcomers and excluding the fallen King Dazheng, nine remained. Of the nine, only two still had all three embodiments intact! Zhou Potian and Yun Chen! The others had lost either one or two embodiments—crippled remnants. Seven out of the nine were diminished. In the distance, Su Yu let out a piercing cry: "Senior Chui, save them!" Su Yu could sense the crisis over there! Yet the three bastards before him attacked like madmen, making it impossible for him to disengage quickly! His only hope lay with the mother ball! The mother ball was a Dao Harmonizer, after all! Though wounded, it should still have strength to spare. The mother ball muttered in annoyance. Fine, it would go save them! So vexing! Today it had dashed all over the place, playing firefighter. Without it, catastrophe would have struck every front. Just as the mother ball moved to reinforce them, the silhouette of a foreign Invincible suddenly manifested in the sky above the Daming Prefecture! Not one left over from before! Moments later, a second Invincible appeared! Su Yu's heart seized in shock! The passage controlled by the Hunting Heaven Pavilion was not a proper corridor, but rather a gap, a structural loophole! Now, someone had discovered it! Or perhaps the Hunting Heaven Pavilion had provided it! Damn them! Those were two formidable Invincibles. Even from a vast distance, Su Yu could sense their terrifying auras—two Invincibles from the immortal race! Floating in midair, they surveyed the surroundings and quickly took in the layout. One of the powerhouses chuckled softly. "The Daming Prefecture... I haven't been here in over four hundred years. It's quite easy this time—no one to block us!" Humanity's Invincibles were stretched beyond their limit. Where would they find anyone to intercept them? In the distance, Su Yu's expression changed drastically. Roaring with fury, he threw a punch and slashed his blade, forcing the three Invincibles backward. Yet they refused to withdraw; their only goal was to pin Su Yu down! Reinforcements had arrived! Evidently, the human Invincibles outside could no longer prevent intruders from breaking into the Human Realm! If they held on, the myriad races would surely prevail! At that moment, the mother ball hesitated. Which side should it save? Those two new Invincibles seemed poised to slaughter the Daming Prefecture, which was now blanketed in chilling murderous intent. Zhu Tiandao, fleeing on the other battlefield, was beside himself with anxiety. What could be done? Danger threatened here, and danger threatened the Daming Prefecture! The Daming Prefecture had no way to withstand two Invincibles! At that moment, Shanhai Realm experts rose into the sky over the prefecture. All the Sun Moon cultivators had already deployed; only Shanhais and a few Lingyuns remained. Even knowing they were marching to their deaths, they took to the air to meet the threat! "A swarm of ants..." The two Immortal Kings sneered. For such insignificant ants to dare rise in defiance—they had to admit, the courage was commendable. A catastrophic crisis had thoroughly enveloped the interior of the Human Realm! Su Yu blasted his foes back with another punch and struggled to fly toward that sector! Yet the three Invincibles dogged his heels, harrying him relentlessly. They gave him no opening to leave! Gritting his teeth, Su Yu roared, "Save the Daming Prefecture!" The mother ball no longer hesitated and shot toward the Daming Prefecture. Sighting its approach, the two Immortal Kings exchanged glances, disregarding the ants below. "A Dao Harmonizer of the God-Devouring race!" "Wounded!" "Can we fight it?" "Let's test it!" Both Immortal Kings were formidable. One of them Su Yu actually recognized—or had seen before: King Yu! An expert of the Eternal ninth stage! The other was at the eighth stage. This time, the two had tested the waters by teleporting in. The weaker ones had not dared enter, lest they be instantly butchered. Assessing the mother ball's state, they turned solemn but did not retreat. They could tell this was not Doubao; while similar, this was definitely not Doubao itself. It was the somewhat weaker mother ball! And from the looks of it, it was injured. In that case, even if they could not slay it, they could certainly tie it down! In the blink of an eye, the mother ball descended. The three powerhouses clashed instantly in the void, an earthshaking battle erupting! Enraged, the mother ball tried to devour them whole, but a token in King Yu's hand blocked its swallowing force. It was a blood-red token—a councilor token! He had brought a councilor token with him! King Yu laughed. "It seems you have no way to devour me!" This was the token of a supreme ancient powerhouse, imbued with Great Dao power left behind by a true Dao-grade entity! No matter how strong the mother ball's swallowing ability was, piercing the defense of this token in an instant was impossible. The mother ball grew increasingly furious! The God-Devouring race possessed a token of their own, but it was with Doubao. It had not brought it along, never anticipating it would encounter so many powerhouses, an unending stream of enemies! The battle reached an immediate stalemate! Meanwhile, even with three reinforcements, Zhu Tiandao's side could hold out no longer. The second elder was already growing restless, looking for an opportune moment to detonate himself! A self-destruction had to be timed precisely to heavily wound the enemy to be worthwhile; otherwise, it would be a meaningless death. Outside the Human Realm, King Dazhou and his allies held the advantage in the Tianyuan Realm. Yet they could not return! The perimeter had been surrounded! Outside the Human Realm's passage, no one was left to send aid. Holding back the Demon Emperor and the others was already a stroke of luck. The crisis within the Human Realm could only be resolved by Su Yu and his companions. Today, four human Invincibles had fallen, and many others had had their embodiments shattered. While their kill count appeared high, their losses were catastrophic. The myriad races simply had too many Invincibles! Humanity had only so few. The myriad races still possessed many ancient relics. If the fight continued like this, the Human Realm was bound to suffer a devastating blow. Flying toward Zhu Tiandao and the others, Su Yu cursed frantically in his heart! Those bastards like King Dazhou had charged out to kill with such righteous confidence—had they never considered whether he could hold the line? He had talked a big game, claiming that so long as he was here, the Human Realm would be secure! Yet from start to finish, twenty-six Invincibles had entered! Many of them high-stage experts! They were just one Dao Harmonizer short of being stronger than the entire Tianyuan race! Dammit! If the myriad races brought one more Dao Harmonizer, their combined strength would exceed the Tianyuan race's! Was this fighting one race? This was fighting two! Or looked at the other way, Su Yu's group was the Tianyuan race, while these bastards were the invading humans. The situations were virtually identical—except Master Chui wasn't even as strong as Half-Emperor Tianyuan! More critically, would more Invincibles teleport in? If more came... they truly could not hold! Looking at the ghostly passageway trailing beneath his feet, Su Yu clenched his teeth. Should he open the Netherworld passage? Opening it might bring absolute catastrophe upon the Human Realm. Once unsealed, what emerged would not be Xingyue and her kin, but powerful dead spirits prone to indiscriminate slaughter. One false step, and humanity would be destroyed by Su Yu's own hand! Unless driven to the absolute end, how could Su Yu dare gamble on that? King Dazhou and the others had won on their side, but here... Did he have any trump cards left? None! At this moment, Su Yu cursed himself for having too few hidden cards left to turn the tables! The Human Realm and the ancient cities had already given everything! While Su Yu battled the three Invincibles in a frenzy, Zhu Tiandao's group reached their breaking point. Even with the three reinforcements, the downward spiral could not be checked. The seven enemy Invincibles fought with growing ferocity! Once they wiped out the humans here and converged on Su Yu, the Human Realm would crumble! On all sides, it was a race to see who broke first! ... To the east. King Dayuan was spent! He had long been grievously injured. At this moment, his two opponents were also battered. Three heavily wounded Invincibles were tangled in combat, leaving King Dayuan incapable of aiding the others. A bitter self-mockery welled up inside him! As a founding king of the Eternal seventh stage, he had accomplished little in this war. The root cause was that Su Yu had shattered two of his embodiments—though he had brought that upon himself. Had they not been destroyed, he might have gone mad by now. Did he regret it? A little. In his prime, these two battered fools would have been dead long ago! Alas... regret was useless. Had the mother ball not reinforced him earlier and slain that seventh-stage Eternal, he would already be dead. Thrusting his spear to drive the two back once more, King Dayuan panted, gazing into the distance. He should have been an anchor of stability... What a pity that two of his embodiments were gone. The more he thought, the more helpless he felt! Those fellows over there were on the verge of collapsing! And on his end, dragging the fight out would only end in mutual destruction. King Dayuan drove the two back with another spear strike, the exchange tearing away chunks of his own flesh and blood. Rebounding a short distance to put some space between them, he looked toward Su Yu, then toward Qin Zhen's group. In that instant, he made up his mind. "Su Yu... I... still don't approve of you becoming Holy Lord... talented as you are!" He still disapproved! Because in his eyes, Su Yu lacked one essential trait—forbearance! He believed King Dazhou was far better suited! Su Yu was fine as a vanguard. As a shared sovereign, he simply fell short. He lacked the composed foresight to orchestrate victory from thousands of miles away! With a sigh, a fleeting smile touched King Dayuan's face. Forget it. At a time like this, why dwell on such things? "Su Yu... you wanted to kill me, didn't you? Then... I'll grant your wish..." In that breath, he suddenly reached for the longbow on his back. An instant later, the spear in his grasp shifted into an arrow. Blood qi ignited, blood essence burned, the sea of will blazed... Everything he possessed was set aflame! "Su Yu! Kill!" With a thunderous shout, the longbow shattered. The arrow pierced through the void, traversing heaven and earth to shoot straight toward the three pursuing Su Yu! "I... am... a founding lord!" King Dayuan laughed heartily as his physical body broke apart. With a deafening boom, the bow exploded, and his very being erupted, hurling itself toward the two Invincibles behind him. Rumble! A catastrophic blast shook the heavens! He was a founding lord! He still refused to yield to Su Yu—he refused with his words, and refused in his heart! Who did that kid think he was? To lead him? What a joke! Rumble! The deafening detonation reverberated between heaven and earth. The Dayuan Prefecture shook violently, while King Dayuan's laughter rolled across the world! "Su Yu, if the Human Realm survives this ordeal, you are its shared sovereign! If it falls... you're nothing but trash! Hahaha!" Boom! A cataclysmic explosion resounded as the three Invincibles perished together. Blood rained in torrents from the sky! King Dayuan had fallen in battle! With a battered remnant body, he had taken down three Invincibles... No—his final arrow, packed with all his life's might, pierced the heavens. With a wet crunch, an Invincible behind Su Yu was blown to pieces by that single shot, unable even to flee! The arrow obliterated the Invincible's three-life embodiments in an instant. Just as the expert revived, the arrow exploded, wiping out his second embodiment! The moment the third embodiment surfaced, Su Yu's blade cleaved it into mist! The remaining two Invincibles blanched. Su Yu unleashed a furious roar, death qi surging as the Myriad Gate Tower Array erupted. The crown's power blazed, binding the two for a split second before his fist smashed into them! Rumble! The two burst apart! Three Invincibles had barely been able to delay Su Yu; how could two suffice? King Dayuan had poured every shred of his strength into that final arrow! "Me, trash?" Su Yu roared in fury. *I'm trash?* *King Dayuan, who do you think you are! Calling me into question!* Rumble! Su Yu battered them in a blind frenzy, shattering the void and twisting the heavens. The two Invincibles had their bodies blasted to dust, revived, were blasted to dust again, revived once more, and then simultaneously chose to self-destruct! Boom! Boom! Su Yu was hurled back, his flesh torn away and his bones shattered. He flew a tremendous distance before finally dragging his battered frame back toward Zhu Tiandao's side! He had wiped out all the enemies here! King Dayuan had also eliminated all the foes on his side... but King Dayuan was dead. He was the fourth founding lord to fall today: King Dayuan! The man who had clashed with Su Yu at every turn! In the end, he had chosen to help Su Yu strike down an enemy and free his hands! Su Yu had no time to dwell on anything else! A single thought drove him: kill, kill those bastards, slaughter them all! Today, every invading Invincible in the Human Realm had to die! Twenty-six! Now, only ten remained! The Human Realm had lost King Dayuan and King Dazheng! In the distance, the Invincibles besieging Zhu Tiandao's group paled! Another five had fallen! Today, Invincibles were dropping like rain! "Ignore him! Kill these ones first! Su Yu is crippled; his arrival won't change anything!" Several Invincibles shouted fiercely! If they wiped out the humans here before Su Yu arrived, the Human Realm would still fall! At that moment, Zhou Potian and Yun Chen detached their embodiments. It would take time for Su Yu to fly over! Yet the others could hold out no longer! Seeing that the two elders were about to detonate themselves, Yun Chen smiled. "Su Yu is coming. No one else needs to die... Don't self-destruct..." Before his voice faded—boom! Four consecutive detonations! He and Zhou Potian both detonated two of their embodiments, the blast sending the enemy Invincibles coughing up blood! Seizing the chance, Niu Baidao also detonated one embodiment. A massive roar followed, obliterating an enemy Invincible's second embodiment. By this point, all the remaining human combatants were down to single embodiments. Yet the situation had not truly improved! At that moment, a massive stalk of bamboo plummeted from the sky! "Hehe, my chance is here..." With a resounding crash, an Invincible who had just recovered his three embodiments was smashed to pieces by the bamboo! Boom! A dark cloud gathered; blood rained down. Jiuyue teleported in from the void. Back in Nanyuan, Hu Xiansheng groaned, "The teleportation gate I just set up—it blew up again!" Jiuyue! Indeed, the almost forgotten Jiuyue. The Jiuyue who had kept an impossibly low profile! Even when war raged everywhere, Jiuyue had been quietly munching on food. Su Yu had locked away all the foreign races except him, because the Iron-Eating Beast Emperor had aided him previously, giving him no reason to detain Jiuyue. He had also counted on Jiuyue to protect the people back in Nanyuan. And Jiuyue had seized the perfect moment. Right as Zhou Potian and the others detonated their embodiments, he teleported in and slew an Invincible with a single blow! The giant bamboo swept toward the second target! Rumble! Another thunderous crash resounded. The second heavily injured Invincible lost one embodiment. When he merged his remaining two, he was still no match for Jiuyue! Qin Zhen and the others fought desperately to tie down the other Invincibles, buying Jiuyue an opening to kill! This non-Invincible creature was terrifyingly strong! The massive bamboo struck in rapid, furious succession! Thump! Thump! Thump! The River of Time itself was severed by the blows. The second Invincible had his second embodiment blasted apart. The moment the third embodiment appeared, Jiuyue dropped from the sky and slammed down on it with his massive backside, crushing it to splinters with a heavy boom! The River of Time snapped completely! In the blink of an eye, two Invincibles were slain by his strikes! Jiuyue's body ballooned countless times in an instant! He planted himself directly in front of Zhu Tiandao and the others. Five Invincibles unleashed a barrage of frenzied attacks, pounding relentlessly against his frame! Jiuyue vomited blood continuously under the assault! Yet he wore a silly grin. "Hit me... go on! You can't kill me... but you're about to die!" Rumble! The Invincibles were both shocked and frantic. *Is this fellow truly not an Invincible?* His physical body was frighteningly resilient! Jiuyue was forced backward step by step, yet he stood firmly as a wall before the others. The rest could take no more; another strike from an Invincible would spell certain death! Only he possessed the sheer strength and physical endurance to endure it. However, he no longer had the strength to kill. He could only serve as a defensive shield! Giving his all to hold the line! Denying these bastards any chance to kill another human! Meanwhile, farther away... Little King Zhou roared furiously, the River of Time coiling around the fleeing Invincible. King Tianzhu, looking thoroughly battered and miserable, tossed one of his embodiments into the encircling river. A massive explosion erupted! All his celestial weapons had already been detonated! Now, he could only detonate his embodiments! He had to finish this bastard first! Little King Zhou hurled divine characters inside one after another. With a rumble, the trapped Invincible was blown to pieces. The foe let out a shrill, desperate shriek, and—boom! He self-destructed! This was a racial war! A fight to the death among the myriad races! When pushed to defeat, most chose self-destruction! King Tianzhu and Little King Zhou were blasted backward. The enemy was stronger than them, and it took a long while for them to emerge from the smoke and dust. King Tianzhu sighed, "I've got one embodiment left. You?" "One!" Little King Zhou's expression was grim. King Tianzhu grumbled, "Great. Every single survivor is down to a solitary embodiment! Fantastic. The myriad races did a splendid job!" They had stripped everyone down to single embodiments! Including Su Yu, who had no three-life embodiments to begin with! At this moment, whether Invincible or Quasi-Invincible, nearly every human expert in the Human Realm was down to their last body. Just wonderful! Everyone was in the same boat, so no one could mock anyone else. Little King Zhou ignored him as the two rushed toward the fray to provide reinforcement! To surround and slaughter those bastards! Kill every last one of them! So what if they were down to one body? Weren't they still breathing? King Tianzhu chattered on, "Say, is Su Yu's Nine-Leaf Celestial Lotus actually real? If it is, we still have hope... If not, does he have enough carriers to give us? Let's make it clear: we're all broke. If he doesn't give us any, we can form a Solitary Survivors Club!" "..." "Shut your mouth!" Little King Zhou snapped, thoroughly annoyed. Had this old man lost his mind after having his embodiments destroyed? Then again... there really were an awful lot of single-embodiment survivors! Who knew how things were faring in the Tianyuan Realm? If they produced a batch of solitary survivors over there too... Heavens, wouldn't half of humanity's Invincibles be down to their last body? ... A short while later. Su Yu charged in! Carrying boundless murderous intent, he descended like a demon. The five Invincibles wanted to flee, but Jiuyue kept them tangled, and the surviving human experts joined in to cut off their escape. Su Yu arrived in an absolute frenzy of rage. Without hesitation, the civilization chronicle swept down and his crown exerted its suppressing weight. He plunged into their midst, striking and hacking blindly! Above the Daming Prefecture, King Yu and the other Immortal King, who had been composed earlier, were now frantically blasting the mother ball in an attempt to withdraw! Damn it! Humanity had gone completely mad! Just moments ago they had held the advantage, but in the blink of an eye, the human experts had treated their embodiments like disposable bombs, wiping out an entire cohort of Invincibles. They wanted to flee, but the mother ball held on tenaciously in blazing fury! Run? Where did they think they were going? It was furious! Today it had met one annoying pest after another. Once Su Yu finished his foes and lent a hand, it was determined to swallow both of these bastards whole! ... Boom! Boom! Boom! Little King Zhou and King Tianzhu arrived as well. The group surrounded the five Invincibles, hammering them in a desperate, vicious melee! Boom! One Invincible chose to self-destruct, blasting Su Yu's arm to dust. Another detonated immediately after, severing Su Yu's leg... As the remaining three Invincibles prepared to self-destruct, Su Yu's jaw unhinged. With a vicious crunch that shattered all his teeth, he bit one Invincible in two! Su Yu headbutted forward! Boom! His skull, tempered previously in the Star Residence Mansion, smashed the foe to pieces with a single strike! At this moment, Su Yu was pure savagery! His left arm gone, he wrapped his right arm around an Invincible, squeezing until the enemy burst apart! The enemy's dying self-destruction blew away Su Yu's right arm. He continued slamming his head into the foes! The others attacked frantically as well. Like brawlers in a street fight, they clashed within a hundred-meter radius until the void crumbled to ash! Dark clouds gathered thick in the sky! After an indeterminate time, the combatants dropped to the ground one after another. And the myriad races... had been wiped out! With a heavy thump, Jiuyue collapsed, landing his rear directly atop Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen coughed blood continuously, wheezing in feeble rage, "I... f-fuck you... get off... or... I'm going to die!" Jiuyue scrambled off with difficulty, looking somewhat sheepish. He patted Qin Zhen's head with a massive paw. *Poor thing. Sorry about that—I almost squashed an Invincible to death!* Soon, the exhausted powerhouses turned to look at Su Yu at the center of the crowd. Su Yu had been reduced to a limbless torso! All four limbs were blown away! Hardly any flesh remained on his frame. If his head weren't still faintly shifting, everyone would have thought he was dead! Panting, Su Yu rasped with difficulty, "There are two left... Who can still fight?" Killing King Yu would likely prove difficult for the mother ball. Even now, that battle had not concluded! With that, countless Water Condensation Beads and Emperor Saliva flowed out as if free, enveloping everyone. Dragon blood fruits appeared in heaps, and Su Yu began stuffing them into his mouth frantically. Not only that... Su Yu shattered the smaller dragon blood fruit tree, sending vast waves of blood vitality coursing out for everyone to absorb. Still not enough. Soon after, Su Yu smashed the larger dragon blood fruit tree as well. At a moment like this, who cared about preserving treasures? Eat! Absorb! Recover vitality, and once restored, go kill those last two bastards! The crowd held nothing back. They ate, drank, and recovered! Treasures poured from Su Yu's storehouse as if they cost nothing. No matter how much came out, it felt insufficient! Because every single one of them was severely wounded! By now, all twenty-four Invincibles originally lurking within the ruins had been slain! Aside from the two unexpected intruders, all the rest were dead. At the cost of two human Invincibles and the destruction of everyone's spare embodiments, humanity had eradicated them! When the ground was picked clean of every resource, Su Yu had barely regenerated his limbs. Though still frail, his overbearing aura remained intact as he barked, "Move! Follow me to kill!" The group took to the skies once more! To kill! Though grievously wounded today, they had slaughtered to their hearts' content! Taking down so many Invincibles was exhilarating! Even four hundred years ago, they had never slain Invincibles like this. Even the old men were beside themselves with excitement. This was how a war should be fought! They would make the heavens tremble! Let them see who dared step foot into the Human Realm again! ... In the distance. King Yu's expression shifted. An instant later, with a thunderous roar, he detonated one of his embodiments. In a flash of blood light, it vanished, immediately followed by the detonation of his second embodiment! His third embodiment vanished from the Human Realm in an instant, piercing the void and disappearing without a trace! The remaining Immortal King paled in horror! "King Yu—!" *Gulp!* The mother ball swallowed him in a single bite. Crunch! It took the expert into its stomach, but before it could pursue King Yu, a muffled boom sent it tumbling through the air once more. In the void, a rift closed. King Yu's third embodiment had fled into the distance without looking back! He had escaped! He had slipped out through the Hunting Heaven Pavilion's tear! Of twenty-six Invincibles, only his single embodiment had gotten away! The moment Su Yu and the others approached, he knew it was over. Using the eighth-stage Eternal to cover his retreat, he detonated two embodiments to shake off the mother ball and seized the gap to flee! By the time Su Yu and his companions arrived, the mother ball had just tumbled back from the blast, its eyes blazing with fury and frustration! It was thoroughly enraged! Yet the target had escaped! With this, the battle inside the Human Realm came to an end. Twenty-five Invincibles had been slain, and King Yu had detonated two embodiments! King Yu had previously had an embodiment shattered by Tianmie. The immortal race had expended supreme treasures to help him reconstitute his flesh, yet less than two months later, two more of his embodiments had been blown to bits. This ancient fossil of the Eternal ninth stage had intervened twice and suffered catastrophic misfortune both times! Arriving on the scene, Su Yu cursed at the sight before sneering coldly, "Three strikes and you're out. Next time we clash, he dies for sure!" The mother ball puffed its cheeks, ignoring him. It was seriously injured as well. With a flick, it retreated into the civilization chronicle and refused to come out! It was mad! Inside his sea of will, Su Yu poked the little fur ball. "Go comfort your mother! What a useless creature—your mother is fuming, and you're just sitting there watching!" The little fur ball grumbled, then promptly slipped into the civilization chronicle as well. What was there to comfort? Its mother just felt it had lost face as a ball and didn't want to come out after failing to eat King Yu! Just feed King Yu to its mother later, and everything would be fine. Su Yu gave up trying to persuade it. Glancing around, a wave of exhaustion washed over him. *Fuck, a whole pack of solitary survivors—how are we supposed to fight like this?* The war was still raging outside! When an Invincible was reduced to a single embodiment, their strength plummeted drastically. And this wasn't just one or two—it was all of them! There was no way he could lead this battered crew out to fight!
