Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1367: Mark of Civilization (1)

Grandstar City was back in its previous spot. The city was sealed. Nobody could leave or enter. Many took that as proof that something had happened to Su Yu. There wouldn't have been a need to seal the city otherwise.

More and more experts gathered outside, wondering if Su Yu would die. With his heavy injuries, could he still withstand the death qi of the ancient city?

One ought to know that Su Yu wasn't the mayor of only one city. He was also the mayor of Empyrean Cloud, Rainbow Rain, and Grand Dream Cities. A large number of experts had also gathered outside Empyrean Cloud and Rainbow Rain, waiting to see if anything would happen.

Everyone knew that Su Yu was still alive. But many had seen his destroyed body falling from the sky. Clearly, the heavenly laws had injured him heavily. Injuries from the heavenly laws were extremely hard to recover from. Furthermore, Su Yu would also be constantly assaulted by the death qi of multiple ancient cities.

***

Far from Grandstar City.

Somewhere amid the boundless sea.

A massive ancient gate could be seen floating in the air, surrounded by the elites of the major races. There were even some Invincibles there. Those without a token would not be allowed entry.

This was done to ensure the benefits of the major races. Even the humans were involved in the blockade. The Luminous Domain Mansion was viewed as the exclusive property of the major races. Nobody would be allowed to benefit from it apart from the major races. Even the slot allocation had always been dominated by the major races.

At this time, a loud voice rang out, "Great Xia King, the mansion will open soon. After a few more days, entry will be barred to even those with the tokens. We have to do this to ensure order and peace in the mansion."

At present, entry had been opened to the token holders. Many of the token holders had arrived. The announcement was clearly made with the ancient cities as the target. Thanks to Su Yu, the ancient cities had been allocated fifty slots. But up until now, none of them had arrived. All of them were waiting for Su Yu. However, things seemed to have changed.

According to the rumors, Su Yu had been heavily injured. He was dying. Without Su Yu, there was no guarantee that the other token holders from the ancient cities would be acknowledged.

As for the humans, the strongest expert present was Great Xia King. Ignoring what the others were saying, Great Xia King looked in Grandstar City's direction. The distance was too great for him to see anything. He only knew that Su Yu had been injured during weaponsmithing.

His injuries were heavy. According to the many eyewitnesses, his flesh had burst apart while his bones had fractured. It wouldn't be easy to recover from such heavy injuries. As the mayor of multiple ancient cities, recovery would be even harder for Su Yu. It was likely that he would die from death qi before he could recover.

A peak earth weapon was the cause of that. The weapon had somehow provoked the blood tribulation.

As Great Xia King sank into thought, the same voice rang out again, "Three days. After three days, entry will be barred for all who are still not here. The slots of the absentees will be reallocated to those who are already here instead."

At that, Great Xia King turned to look at the west. The encampment of the divines was there. He stared in silence. After a long time, he spoke indifferently.

"Ping Yu, why is a mere early-stage Eternal like you provoking me repeatedly? Are you really tired of living? I'm thinking here. If I hear your voice one more time, be prepared for the consequences."

"..."

Silence descended.

The expression of the divine king known as Ping Yu changed slightly. He gave Great Xia King a long stare without saying anything.

He was not a match of Great Xia King. To be precise, Great Xia King was so much stronger than him that if they fought without outside interruptions, he wouldn't be able to even flee.

Silence descended.

With that, Great Xia King removed his attention from the divines. A weakling was not qualified to strut around in the Allheaven Battlefield. Even if the human race was weaker than the divine race, not every divine was qualified to provoke him. At the very least, Ping Yu was not qualified.

***

Grandstar City.

Mayor's residence.

Hu Xiansheng and the others were out of their wits.

Su Yu had been gravely injured.

Zhao Li had also been gravely injured.

Toward the end of the forging, the two of them had forced themselves to forge the weapon further. It was an extremely powerful weapon. It was already an embryonic peak heaven weapon, yet the two had insisted on pushing it into an embryonic divine weapon. Alas, they were not strong enough. Both had suffered because of it.

When Zhao Tianbing checked their conditions, he frowned and said, "Zhao Li lost some of his acupoints. His sea of willpower is shaken. He can probably recover after three to five months of rest. As for Su Yu...things are slightly more serious. He lost more than some acupoints. Rather, his flesh had burst apart. He has to recultivate his physical body from scratch..."

This was troublesome.

Hu Xiansheng and the others were frowning as well. After a short moment, Niu Baidao's voice rang out outside the mayor's residence, "What's going on? Senior Grandstar, please let me in. I'm not a bad guy!"

With Su Yu unconscious, Grandstar was the only person capable of opening the gate of the mayor's residence.

If Grandstar refused, not even Niu Baidao would have the courage to enter forcefully. That could kill him.

Grandstar ignored Niu Baidao. Instead, his gaze was focused on Su Yu. Destroyed flesh. Broken bones. For anyone else, recultivating from scratch was the best option to recover from such a state.

Fortunately, Su Yu's sea of willpower was still perfectly fine. It looked terrible, but it had not suffered much damage.

After a while, Grandstar said, "Wait. He will wake up himself. It won't be long."

Hu Xiansheng and the others were relieved to hear that. They were feeling quite helpless with Su Yu unconscious.

Zhao Tianbing and the others started helping nourish Su Yu's bones with their source qi. After about half an hour, his badly damaged body twitched.

"Pain..."

He was hurting all over. It was incomparably painful.

Su Yu groaned, his head feeling heavy.

"He's awake!"

Zhao Tianbing exclaimed, "Su Yu!"

***

When Su Yu opened his eyes, his vision was covered by darkness.

He had a rough idea of what had happened.

He had been gravely injured. The recoil was too strong toward the end of their forging. Even Zhao Li had nearly died from the recoil.

Su Yu had madly tried to force the 145th stripe out, resulting in heavy damage to his body.

He groaned in pain and asked weakly, "How's Teacher?"

"Better than you. He can make a full recovery in three to five months."

Su Yu exhaled in relief. Before long, the darkness in his vision started fading away. When he glanced at his arms, he saw that both his arms had been broken. They had been reduced to bones and skin.

When he spread his senses over, he was relieved. Things weren't that bad. His bones were still around, but his flesh had burst apart. He had also lost a lot of blood.

Some of his acupoints had burst apart as well. The final recoil had probably reached the level of a Pseudo Invincible. He had essentially received a punch from a Pseudo Invincible, reducing him to his current state.

"I'm fine."

Hearing that, the others looked at his damaged body helplessly. How was this fine?

Su Yu ignored their gazes.

He started circulating his cultivation method. Or to be precise, he circulated the cultivation method of the immortals.

His flesh started regrowing. The large number of cultivation methods he knew was one of the reasons he could act so wilfully.

Under everyone's gaze, Su Yu's flesh and bones started repairing themselves. However, this process consumed a lot of energy. In the blink of an eye, the hall had been completely emptied of source qi.

After about ten minutes, Su Yu returned to normal. He was still slightly pale. His aura also felt weaker. Death qi was starting to seep out of his body as well. That was because his yang acupoint had been reopened. Since he still lacked source qi, he could only absorb more of Xing Yue's death qi to reverse into source qi.

While gasping for breath, he muttered, "How annoying. Without good recovery treasures, I will probably take more than six months to fully recover."

"..."

Fuck!

Hu Xiansheng and the others swore inwardly. So this was merely something he could recover from in only half a year even without the help of recovery treasures?

What was that?

Su Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Seniors. I'm fine. At worst, I'll rest for six months."

Then, he glanced at Zhao Li, who was seated cross-legged beside him. Old Zhao looked pale, but things didn't look too bad. He would be fine after a period of rest.

Su Yu said nothing else. He walked to the side and picked up the book on the ground. Nobody had tried to touch his dao weapon while he was unconscious. The book looked like an ancient book with gray covers. The culture and radiance characters were embedded on the front cover. It looked incredibly unassuming.

When Su Yu spread his senses into the book, he found 108 golden stripes.

A peak earth weapon. Or to be precise, a pseudo heaven weapon.

Including the incomplete stripes, there were 144 golden stripes on the book.

Su Yu frowned. He remembered that the 145th golden stripe had appeared at the last moment before fading away. What was the meaning of that? If it wasn't for the 145th stripe, both he and Old Zhao wouldn't have suffered such heavy injuries.

Did they fail?

Seemingly having guessed his thoughts, Zhao Tianbing said, "This is already an incredible weapon. The book will grow alongside you. It is only a matter of time before it becomes a proper heaven weapon. Nowadays, weapons with 144 stripes are out of reach for even some Pseudo Emeprors. Most of them are stuck with 140-stripe weapons."

This was already an extremely powerful weapon. He knew what Su Yu and Zhao Li were thinking. They wanted to push the weapon to 145 stripes. However, embryonic divine weapons weren't things one could easily forge.

Hu Qi comforted Su Yu as well, "Su Yu, this is already very impressive. Don't lose heart. This is a success. An incredible success."

Su Yu nodded and said, "It is embarrassing to let you see this side of me, Seniors. I'm just curious. I remembered the 145th stripe appearing. Why was it gone?"

He frowned. If the stripe had never appeared in the first place, it would have been much easier for him to accept this result. But he could clearly remember the stripe appearing.

Suddenly, a voice filled with derision rang out, "A bunch of fools."

"..."

Everyone looked at the inner hall.

That was not Grandstar's voice.

In the tunnel, Xing Yue sneered and said, "You call yourself weaponsmiths? Are all weaponsmiths nowadays so worthless and stupid? The forging of that book has clearly not ended. The 145th stripe is merely not visible. When the forging completes for real, it will be visible again. What a bunch of fools."

All of them blanked out.
