Chapter 2240: Breakthrough, Master Of Law (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Su Yu had not bothered to say anything. He was proving himself through action. The myriad races were free to test him.

Those Eternals were the ones stationed in the Lower Realm by the myriad races. Su Yu had crushed them mercilessly. With the same indifference, he waved his hand and released a few more Eternals before crushing them.

Tiangu's eyes reddened as he bellowed, "Emperor Yu! We're not stopping! Kill! What are you waiting for? Kill the matron dragon and Yu Qing!"

Su Yu was too ruthless. It was easy for Hundred Battle King to say that they only needed to wait a bit. But that short wait would be enough for Su Yu to kill all their people. Hundred Battle King wasn't the one who would suffer here.

Su Yu sneered and said, "Hundred Battle, you are nothing but an animal with no heart and race. Do you think everyone is the same as you? The myriad races might be the enemies of humanity, but we are the same in this aspect. We care about our races.

"You can't understand this, Hundred Battle. You're telling them to wait and risk extinction. How can a heartless animal like you dream of manipulating the hearts of others with me around?"

With another wave of his hand, Su Yu released a large number of Sunmoons. His col voice rang out, "I started with the Eternals. Next, I'll proceed with the Sunmoons. Tiangu, I won't keep giving you chances. Pick up the pace if you don't want to see all your Sunmoons dead."

"Kill!"

Tiangu roared with madness as they flew as fast as they could.

The matron dragon, who had just bitten Extreme Martial into two, looked at the approaching powerhouses coldly while chewing Extreme Martial's flesh. "You..."

Boom!

Before they could finish their words, a deafening rumble rang out.

Venerable Dao had rushed over before self-detonating everything about him. His dao, his body, everything. At his final moment, his sorrowful voice rang out, "Sorry...I should have...trusted you from the very beginning..."

Venerable Desolate and he were the ones who had pushed to act against Su Yu immediately. It hadn't even been that long since they made that decision and they were already faced with the threat of extinction.

He was at fault. He blamed himself for this. Since they had picked Tiangu as the commander-in-chief, they should have trusted him fully. They shouldn't have doubted his judgment.

Knowing that the matron dragon wasn't an easy opponent, also knowing that they couldn't afford to waste more time here, he had self-detonated without any hesitation. That was his way of making up for his mistake.

"The so-called strife between the myriad races..." Venerable Dao's phantom appeared and muttered sorrowfully, "Isn't that just a strife between humans? Immortals, divines, and devils were once humans. But...these races had merely separated from humanity like Hundred Battle after producing their own supreme powerhouses. Ultimately, humanity is still the strongest..."

This world belonged to humanity. The myriad races had been defeated.

Boom!

The sudden detonation managed to inflict considerable damage to the matron dragon. They had not expected the myriad races to be so unyielding against them when the myriad races had been so indecisive against Su Yu. They were a Master of Law! They were stronger than even Yu Qing!

Yu Qing was a tier-four Master of Law while the matron dragon was almost a tier three. They were even comparable to the weaker tier-three Masters of Laws. However, the self-detonation of a peak Venerable was not something to scoff at. The injuries they sustained from the self-detonation were quite severe.

Just then, Consort Emeritus roared madly and removed the hairpin from her hair with a look of finality in her eyes. The hairpin turned into a sword as the projection of the River of Time appeared in the sky.

With another roar, she pointed the sword at the sky. An incomparably powerful burst of dao power flowed into her sword. She was draining her very dao for more power. This was an act of severing her very future, but was this still the time for her to worry about her so-called future?

She could only bet that Su Yu would not go back on his word and grant her race a path of survival.

At that moment, Venerable Corona looked at her with grief and regret before looking back toward the Human Mountain. "Consort Emeritus, when the Emperor returns, please inform him that I...tried my best."

At that, he laughed. And then, a gigantic sun appeared in the sky.

His voice rang out in the sky, "Little Brother, lend me the power of the moon. Allow the sun and moon to illuminate the world."

Venerable Moon was still stuck on the Human Mountain. Su Yu had ordered some of their Venerables to be killed, and Venerable Moon was one of them. With an abrupt burst of strength, he pushed the eight-winged tiger away.

Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "I still find it hard to believe that...we have lost so suddenly after a hundred thousand years of domination."

He couldn't believe it. But he also knew that this was really happening. A bright moon appeared in the sky before overlapping with the sun. The moment the two came together, an overwhelming force erupted. That force reached the level of a true Master of Law.

"Consort Emeritus...lead the divine race and seek a path forward."

After swallowing the moon, the sun grew berserk. With a flicker, it appeared before the matron dragon. It had only been an instant since Venerable Dao's self-detonation. The matron dragon was still roaring in anger at the explosion when the sun appeared before them.

His expression changed as he tried to flee, but it was too late as the space around him had all been frozen.

Boom!

A massive explosion erupted.

This was a far more powerful explosion than Venerable Dao's self-detonation.

A blinding radiance irradiated the world. The weaker beings exposed to the radiance wailed in pain. And at the center of the eruption, the matron dragon screamed with pain.

That explosion was the same as the self-detonation of an actual Master of Law. Half his body crumbled apart. And right at that moment, Consort Emeritus swung her sword down while crying tears of blood.

"The divine sword that splits the sky."

Boom!

The blindingly radiant sword descended, splitting the Chaos Mountain itself.

A short silence engulfed the world.

The moment the attack was released, Consort Emeritus' hair turned white. Opposite her, a line of blood appeared on the head of the matron dragon who had just lost half their body to the previous explosion.

Disbelief filled his eyes. He asked blankly, "With such strength...why are you so scared of fighting it out with Su Yu?"

He couldn't understand it.

Why were they so scared of Su Yu if they were this strong?

With their strength, they could at least kill five or six Venerables on Su Yu's side even if they couldn't win outright. They were strong enough to kill even him! Why? Why did they not use that strength against Su Yu instead?

They could have worked together! The cooperation of Corona and Moon was good enough to release the prowess of a Master of Law. Consort Emeritus was a Master of Law. They had enough strength to not fear Su Yu.

Why was this happening?

Tiangu and the others did not answer his doubt.

Why? Because Su Yu was someone who would always have a trump card. Nobody could guess what he would do next. The sinned lineage was a lot more predictable in comparison. They could see hope when attacking the sinned lineage. But despair was the only thing they would feel when attacking Su Yu.

Slowly, the matron dragon's body crumbled apart. With indignation, they roared, "You may kill me, but more chaos powerhouses will emerge soon!"

Killing him here would essentially feed the gate with more energy. That would allow more powerhouses to emerge from the gate. Furthermore, Corona and the other Venerables had also died within the gate's range.

More powerhouses would emerge! They weren't too far away from the gate.

Right at that moment, Su Yu's cold voice rang out, "I'm actually looking forward to that. Don't disappoint me. I could have covered everything with my world and devoured all the energy before it could reach the gate. Why am I not doing that? You are always so stupid. How am I supposed to further perfect my world without more dead powerhouses? One or two of them won't be enough for me."

The matron dragon was greatly shocked to hear that.

"You..."

Su Yu was ambitious. Too ambitious. He was trying to release more powerhouses from the gate as well. He was viewing them as the nourishment of his world. That was why he was not stopping the gate from absorbing more energy.

"Well done." Su Yu's voice boomed out, "Heavenly Overseer, time to do the smart thing."

Inside the human lord's token, Heavenly Overseer Marquis opened his eyes. Su Yu's voice rang out again, "Are you killing yourself or are you infusing all your fortune into my world? Make your choice."

Whichever choice he picked, that would mark the end of the ancient past's fortune.

That would also fully remove the restriction on the Myriad Realms.

It was time.

A decent number of Venerables had died.

Of the myriad races, Venerable Nether, Venerable Dao, Venerable Moon, and Venerable Corona had died.

Of Hundred Battle King's subordinates, Extreme Martial wasn't dead. But Su Yu didn't mind that. Redmoon and Blood Shadow were still fighting Yue Xiao and Yue Luo. Apart from Evergreen and Longbrow, the others wouldn't be able to do much even if they could break through with the restriction removed.

With their reduced number, the myriad races wouldn't dare to try anything even after gaining more Masters of Laws.

Inside Su Yu's world.

Heavenly Overseer Marquis' expression changed repeatedly as he asked, "Are you not killing me?"

"Are you worthy of being killed by me?" Su Yu said, "You have two choices. Pick one. Stop wasting time. Infuse the fortune into my world and I will accept the debt of the ancient past. Even if you refuse, I can still remove the restriction to achieve my goal."

Heavenly Overseer Marquis sighed and sank into silence. After some time, he started dissolving as waves of luck power started dispersing all around Su Yu's world. At the same time, a sudden unease started assaulting all the ancient powerhouses.

They felt as though a disaster was upon them. It was as though something very important had disappeared, but at the same time, it felt as though nothing had changed.

In the Lower Realm, the River of Time shook slightly. In the Upper Realm, Human Emperor's dao released a sudden eruption of power as it started draining a unique stream of power from the River of Time.

It was time for the restriction to vanish.

***

A stretch of the River of Time had been covered in a thin barrier for many years. Nobody could sense it. However, it had blocked the advancement of numerous Venerables without fail over the years.

And today, the barrier was slowly breaking apart. The power applied by Human Emperor to seal the river was being extracted.

The calm river turned turbulent. The tiny gap between the various tributaries and the main river was instantly filled. The seal that had stood for a hundred thousand years was gone.

***

Inside Su Yu's world.

A large amount of fortune was fusing with the world.

The world started expanding rapidly. Those who were still fighting in the world sensed something happening. Before they could react, some of them started growing. One aura after another stirred.

Giant Axe Marquis, who was busy swinging his axe at Yue Luo, suddenly stopped as his aura stirred. Up in the sky, a gigantic axe manifested, causing him to stare blankly. A Venerable was essentially a Master of Law who had failed to fully control their dao. Something had been blocking them from doing so.

The confused Giant Axe Marquis muttered blankly, "The axe dao...wasn't it under Axe King's control?"

Since this was happening, the said king had probably died. As that understanding dawned on Giant Axe Marquis, he grieved. Axe King, one of the thirty-six human kings, was dead. Giant Axe Marquis wouldn't have been able to grow even with the restriction gone otherwise.

He grimaced before roaring and becoming one with the world. A large amount of comprehension spread from him into the river, allowing him to instantly gaining full control over the dao.

Boom!

An overwhelmingly powerful aura erupted. Giant Axe Marquis was the first to advance into a Master of Law. At the same time, the power of fortune around the human lord's token surged.
