Chapter 2154: Upper Realm Again (3)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

A short moment later, they reached the tunnel of the Torchbearers.

Looking at the tunnel that had appeared from a wave of Su Yu's hand, everyone was shocked. Was he not keeping this tunnel secret anymore? Wasn't this the same as exposing the location of this tunnel to the myriad races of the Upper Realm.

Even Thunderstorm was frowning. This did not feel appropriate for him, but he was not in the position to say anything. However, his mood was solemn. Su Yu had exposed this tunnel so easily.

Tiangu and the others grew even more worried at the sight of the tunnel. With the exposure of this tunnel, the tunnel in the Fate Realm woul decline in importance. Would Su Yu silence them after showing them this tunnel?

"Giant Axe and March will go first. Pacify all threats."

The two looked at each other before stepping into the tunnel. Just as Thunderstorm was about to follow, Su Yu said, "There is no need to trouble you for this, Venerable Thunderstorm. You need to remain and protect the others. How are we supposed to explain ourselves to the myriad races if these people die in the process of traversing the tunnel?"

Thunderstorm had no choice but to stop. He glanced at Su Yu with hesitation. Just how strong was Su Yu now? Did he sever his dao not long ago? He still felt the same with the lack of dao fluctuations around him, but something felt different about him.

A short while later, Su Yu stepped forth and said, "With me, everyone. Don't run off alone. You might die."

Suddenly, the Consort Emeritus asked, "Emperor Yu, are you really taking us to the Upper Realm?"

Su Yu said, "Of course. I intend to claw my way back up from where I fell. I won't rest before killing those bastards. Don't worry, you guys are at a lower priority to me. I'll first kill off the fellows from Control King's lineage. Then again, you are free to pick a fight with me if you're feeling like it. I welcome all challenges."

Nobody said anything.

Su Yu was as arrogant as ever. As the group stepped into the tunnel, the tunnel started shaking.

***

At the same time.

Upper Realm.

A group of people was in the middle of a meeting with fluctuations erupted from the distant Buried Soul Mountain.

A short moment later.

The various powerhouses arrived at Buried Soul Mountain promptly. Moments later, two powerful auras erupted without any attempt at concealment. March and Giant Axe Marquis emerged from the tunnel.

With a chortle, March said, "We have completed our mission. Tiangu and the others are on their way here."

Giant Axe Marquis' cold voice followed, "Per His Majesty, if the myriad races are willing to help gather ninety-nine assembly tokens together, we can join hands and seal this tunnel."

"..."

Venerable Moon and the others had solemn expressions. What was the meaning of that?

His majesty?

Which majesty was he talking about?

After a slight hesitation, Venerable Moon asked, "You're referring to..."

"His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Yu." Giant Axe Marquis said, "His Majesty will be here soon. He is willing to join hands with the myriad races against Control King's lineage. He is also willing to seal the tunnel here to prevent Hundred Battle King from causing trouble for everyone."

Venerable Desolate was slightly alarmed to hear that. He said, "Why don't we attack the Lower Realm together and kill Hundred Battle King instead?"

Right at that moment, several powerful auras emerged.

Su Yu appeared, accompanied by Fat Ball. Both were emanating powerful auras. With a smile, Su Yu answered, "No matter what, we're fellow humans. I can't be ruining my reputation this way. Work together and seal this tunnel if you're willing. If not, so be it. If you wish to attack Hundred Battle first, feel free to give it a try. However..."

Su Yu narrowed his eyes and added, "His subordinates might not be as weak as you believe. He is quite strong himself as well. It won't be a good idea for you to fight him this early. In any case, I won't be helping you with that. I am only here to deal with Control King's lineage."

"You?" A furious dragon flew over and asked, "Are you Su Yu? Who do you think you are? You are the culprit who had slaughtered many of my people"

"You talk too much."

Su Yu ordered, "Get him."

At that, Giant Axe Marquis, March, and Fat Ball erupted with incomparably powerful auras before charging toward the dragon.

Venerable Moon and the others were alarmed.

Three Venerables!

That was not all. A floating shoe with an even more powerful aura manifested before the dog.

Just as Venerable Moon was about to interfere, Su Yu said, "Why must the divines get involved in this?"

Before Venerable Moon could react, Su Yu had appeared beside him. A palm descended, forcing Venerable Moon to react against the incoming palm instead. To the side, Venerable Dao hurriedly muved as well.

Boom!

The two sides clashed, and the two Venerables were forced one step back. Meanwhile, Su Yu was forced several steps back. By that point, the shoe had landed on the dragon, sending him flying with a footprint on his body.

Su Yu grinned, "I have to flex my muscle a bit lest you believe I'm someone you can push around. Including me, we have four Venerables on our side. Is this enough for a cooperation?"

"March."

Venerable Moon looked at March with alarm. March had just pushed Venerable Nether back with a bamboo strike. He flashed Venerable Moon an innocent smile and said, "I follow His Majesty."

Those words alarmed everyone. March had fully submitted to Su Yu! And Su Yu himself had also grown significantly. It hadn't even been that long. His growth was way too fast.

Su Yu asked nonchalantly, "So? Are we working together or not? If you're willing, take your tokens out and seal the tunnel with me. With this, we can fight without worrying that Hundred Battle will cause trouble behind us while we're busy."

Everyone looked at each other in silence.

At this time, even more people emerged from the tunnel. The Consort Emeritus coughed before saying, "Seal it."

Venerable Moon hurriedly said, "Consort Emeritus..."

"Seal."

Venerable Moon's expression shifted slightly, but he ultimately nodded, "Our race agrees to this."

Tiangu, who had just emerged from the tunnel, flew over and looked at the two immortal Venerables before nodding, "Let's seal it. Hundred Battle King's strength is unclear. Let's seal the Lower Realm off for now."

Venerable Dao frowned. As Tiangu stared at them, the two Venerables exchanged gazes before finally nodding.

Tiangu remained expressionless as he ignored their hesitation. Instead, he started moving away. "Lead the way, Talisman King."

"Yes!"

Talisman King flew forward and started leading the group away. Venerable Dao and Venerable Desolate exchanged gazes again, their expressions solemn. It was not necessarily a good thing for Tiangu to be up hee. But it also wasn't a good idea to keep him down there.

As the sole legitimate ruler of the immortal race, Tiangu had a lot of supporters among the Upper Realm immortals. That would threaten their authority.

Not far away, Immortal Battle Marquis and the other immortal heavenly kings who had just arrived were overjoyed to see Tiangu. Immortal Battle Marquis roared, "We welcome the Emperor!"

Dozens of Daofuses had arrived just to welcome him back. More than half of them were real Daofuses. Only a small part of them were fake dao cultivators.

This was Tiangu's power base in the Upper Realm. Seeing that scene, both Venerable Desolate and Venerable Dao sighed inwardly. They were feeling quite helpless. These people had decided to come and welcome Tiangu without informing them about it. Evidently, their status as Venerables was not enough to shake Tiangu's position as the sole legitimate leader of the immortal race after the ancient past.

"Seal."

The Venerables roared together and released over thirty assembly tokens into the air. Including what Su Yu had, they had ninety-seven of them. This was enough. The few missing tokens wouldn't change much.

He released his tokens and brought the power of the tokens upon the tunnel.

In a flash, the tunnel vanished.

***

At the same time.

Lower Realm.

Intense rumbles rang out. In the Human Realm, the expressions of Hundred Battle King and the others changed drastically. They all shot out of the Human Realm. Shortly after, they stopped in the boundless void. Before them, a shaking tunnel could be seen. Rumbling sounds were coming from the tunnel.

"Damn it!"

They were furious.

Longbrow said, "Are they sealing the tunnel? Damn it! Su Yu is really colluding with the myriad races! He's sealing the tunnel!"

Damn it!

With this, they would be stuck down here. Were they supposed to use the tunnel in Fate Realm? That was too dangerous. Hundred Battle King remained silent as he stared above him. This move from Su Yu had surprised him as well.

Su Yu had actually sealed the tunnel. Was Su Yu so confident that he wouldn't need anyone's assistance? Was Su Yu so confident that he could pacify the Upper Realm alone?

Hundred Battle King had guessed that even after going to the Upper Realm, Su Yu would end up seeking his help when it mattered. But no. Su Yu had directly severed path. Clearly, Su Yu was more guarded against Hundred Battle King than the myriad races.

***

Upper Realm.

After retrieving his own tokens and sending the other tokens back to their owners, Su Yu said, "We'll exterminate Control King's lineage before thinking about the Lower Realm. That's all, everyone. Later."

While roaring with laughter, Su Yu left with his people.

As they departed, March's voice rang out, "Please do me a favor and send my people back to Bamboo Mountain."

The myriad race Venerables said nothing.

Su Yu had four Venerables on his side.

Just as Thunderstorm was about to follow Su Yu's group, Su Yu's voice rang out from afar, "Stay behind, Thunderstorm. Remain at the Human Mountain and notify me the moment anything happens. Thunderstorm shall serve as the vanguard in our war against Control King's lineage. Feel free to hand him all the troublesome tasks, friends from the myriad races."

"..."

Silence descended. Thunderstorm sank into silence. Holy shit! That bastard was a scoundrel through and through!

The others all looked at Thunderstorm with odd expressions. Su Yu was essentially saying that he didn't care about Thunderstorm. Since he wasn't on the same side as Hundred Battle King, why should he care about Hundred Battle King's people?

Was that the case?

Clearly, the human race was still not done with their internal conflicts. This place Thunderstorm in a difficult position. He wasn't with the myriad races. He also wasn't with Su Yu. Meanwhile, Hundred Battle King was stuck in the Lower Realm. He was all alone in the Upper Realm.

Everyone stared in silence at the departing Su Yu. Some had the urge to do something, such as the dragon Venerable, but Su Yu's group was too powerful. That short exchange earlier made it clear that he was not their match.

Su Yu had four Venerables on his side, with Fat Ball and Su Yu being particularly powerful. A battle with such a group with result in heavy casualties even if they could win. Su Yu had displayed enough strength to give them pause.

Mo Ji and the new arrivals from the Lower Realm had mixed feelings as they witnessed this happen. Sure enough, Su Yu would be overbearing and arrogant wherever he went. And he had the strength to back his arrogance. He could continue strutting around even in the Upper Realm.

Sure enough, Su Yu would remain a big shot even after leaving the Lower Realm.
