Tribulation of Myriad Races Chapter 881: Expert Rank Climber (1)

Chapter 881: Expert Rank Climber (1)

“Fuck!”

Su Yu was furious. Could he cultivate in peace or not?

Not far away from him, a performance was ongoing. The first character of the performance, a lion, had arrived before going into hiding. After about an hour, the second character, a big rabbit, arrived. Perhaps this place was excellent for ambushes, so the rabbit hid nearby as well. Half an hour had passed since then.

The lion had been slowly moving toward the big rabbit. It had been more than ten minutes, but the lion had yet to reach the rabbit.

Su Yu was slowly losing his patience. With them here, he couldn’t even focus on his cultivation. Both of them were fresh Cloudbreaches. What was the point of wasting their time here?

It was obvious they both came from minor races. Sure, Cloudbreaches weren’t weak. But where were they? The Skyrend Valley. A large number of super-geniuses were here. What were the two of them doing here? Who could they even hope to defeat? What was the point of setting up an ambush here?

Su Yu grew more and more impatient. The broken sword he had transformed into hovered noiselessly and drifted toward the lion. The lion was still cautiously moving bit by bit toward the big rabbit. There was a distance of about a dozen meters between them. The lion was getting ready to attack since there was no way to get nearer without being detected by the rabbit.

How patient.

In truth, Su Yu was quite impressed by these minor race fellows. For the sake of strength, they were bold and patient. Unfortunately, they lacked strength. Sure, they were pretty good at concealment. But they were still not good enough for Su Yu.

Furthermore, he was here before them. Thus, they weren’t able to hide from him. Just as the lion was about to attack, and just as Su Yu was about to cut them both down and be done with it, something happened. Su Yu was dumbfounded.

The seemingly oblivious rabbit suddenly kicked backward. That was an extremely powerful kick. Clearly, that was not a last-minute attack. Instead, the rabbit had discovered the lion long ago and had been gathering strength for that kick.

“Holy shit!”

Su Yu was stunned. Incredible. Every last one of these fellows was incredibly crafty. The lion was scheming against the rabbit, but the rabbit was pretending to be clueless before giving the lion a fatal kick. The kick seemed like a fully powered attack. Before the lion could even react, their head burst apart.

“You were courting death!”

The rabbit turned around and swung a blade over, cutting the headless lion into pieces. Finally, the rabbit smiled with joy, revealing two large buck teeth.

They had been waiting for that lion to attack. It had taken the damn lion such a long time to attack. What a slow fellow. Just as the overjoyed rabbit was about to deal with the corpse, their expression changed.

A broken sword appeared out of thin air. The rabbit was greatly alarmed. Before they could say anything, the sword stabbed through their sea of willpower and destroyed it. Then, the sword flew around, cutting the rabbit into pieces.

Finally, Su Yu transformed back into his human body and sighed, “How cautious. Unfortunately, they’re not strong enough.”

That rabbit was good at scheming but lacked strength. A certain realization dawned upon Su Yu. Yeah. So what if one was good at scheming? That rabbit was incredibly shrewd. They had discovered the lion long ago. Perhaps their act of hiding here was a bait to lure the lion over. But so what? The rabbit had still ended up dead.

While Su Yu was deep in thought, a clump of cloud appeared above him He had accumulated enough kills to receive a heavenly reward. The cloud dropped down on him. This time, the reward was not heavenly source qi or natural character. Rather, it was a pill. Su Yu was surprised.

The pill was even stored in a jade bottle. Were pills included among the heavenly rewards as well? But where was this pill from? Just what manner of a place was the Allheaven Battlefield? Was this a training ground set up by the ancient experts?

Was that why one would be rewarded for killing? And were these heavenly rewards merely the stockpile stored somewhere by those ancient experts? And what was the origin of the heavenly laws?

If he could find the origin, could he take all the rewards for himself? Countless thoughts emerged in Su Yu’s mind When he held the pill with his hand, a strand of consciousness entered his mind.

“Soul Refining Pill, capable of strengthening seas of willpower. High-tier profound-grade pill.”

A high-tier profound-tier pill! Su Yu had never used any pill before due to his rapid advancement. He never found himself needing pills. But this pill, in particular, was quite shocking.

Strengthening seas of willpower? Profound-tier pill…it should work for him as well, right?

He had only received this pill after killing so many people. Green Armor and Red Armor had both granted him a separate reward per kill, but the others had not granted him a separate reward. He had to accumulate his kills for this one reward.

The reward for killing Red Armor was probably the best of what he had received so far. It was a natural character. As for the reward for killing Green Armor, it was much better than a pill. After all, for most people, heavenly source qi was invaluable. But for Su Yu, this pill was a lot better than some heavenly source qi

“Can I take it?”

Su Yu started hesitating. This wasn’t an expired pill, right? He had never heard of the heavenly reward giving someone something that was harmful. But these heavenly laws were ancient. Who knew if there were some expired products among the rewards?

He could vaguely sense that some people were approaching his location. He hurriedly cleaned the place and put the two corpses away before vanishing into thin air. Moments later, a silhouette arrived like a bolt of lightning.

The newcomer was humanoid, but there was a lightning symbol on his forehead. This individual was extremely strong. He came from the lightning divine race, one of the stronger sub-races among the greater divine race.

In fact, they were one of the strongest races offensively after the first divine race. This race was also one of the hegemons of the Divine Realm. The newly arrived lightning divine was a ninth-stage Cloudbreach on the verge of breaking through into the Mountainsea Realm.

He was extremely fast. And he was extremely powerful offensively as well. With his arrival, a rain of lightning descended and blasted the surrounding stones and boulders apart, including the ground under his feet. When some saber qi chopped down at him from above, he blasted the saber qi with his lightning bolts.

Ignoring the saber qi that was gathering around him, he scanned the area with his unique lightning blasts. The bloodstains on the ground were gone after the shower of lightning, but the aura remained.

“Mad lion race, moon rabbit race…”

The lightning divine muttered as he reproduced the fight in his mind, “They were instantly killed. Who was it?”

Since there was a heavenly reward, the killer was most likely someone with a lower cultivation level. He took out his index and checked the contents. For the most part, the names he knew were still in the same positions. Some had moved, but not by much. Soon, he noticed one name.

Cui Lang!

17th place on the Profound Index.

His rank had increased by one!

“Cui Lang?”

That fellow must have killed someone again. The lightning divine had not been able to encounter Cui Lang after entering the valley. He did encounter An Mintian once. As for Huang Teng, he seemed to have encountered Tianduo. As for this Cui Lang, he had vanished completely after entering the valley.

Was the killer Cui Lang? He started moving toward a certain direction with a doubtful mind. Most of the people here were targeting Huang Teng, but that wasn’t the case for him. Huang Teng was too dangerous. And too many people were competing for him. Rather than Huang Teng, this lightning divine had his eyes on Cui Lang.

That was a pseudo-earth weaponsmith. And he even had a powerful soul technique. There was a chance that he could use the soul technique as well. And as a pseudo-earth weaponsmith, Cui Lang probably had a lot of cultural weapons as well, right?

He would have a lot of materials as well, right? Thus, killing Cui Lang might be just as profitable as killing Huang Teng. And it would be far less dangerous and competitive. With that thought in his mind, the lightning divine continued moving rapidly.

***

Not long after, Su Yu noticed something.

His tribulation character was pulsing repeatedly. He frowned. Was this an indication that someone was targeting him? Why was someone targeting him even when he was maintaining such a low profile?

Since the tribulation character was pulsing, this could be dangerous to him. How troublesome. Why? He was being so obedient. Why was someone still targeting him?

Weren’t Huang Teng and Wu Qi in the valley as well? Wasn’t Huang Teng a delicious target? Su Yu complained irresponsibly in his head. He needed to cultivate. He did not have the time to waste on these people. It was pointless to kill the weaker ones while he couldn’t kill the stronger ones. In short, dealing with these people was a waste of time. He hurriedly turned into a regular pebble and dropped to the ground.

Not long after that, a bolt of lightning swept past. Su Yu was greatly alarmed. That bolt of lightning blasted the entire area. The ground did not crack, but almost everything on the ground was flipped around by that bolt of lightning.

This was…a detection ability!

“The detection technique of the lightning divine race!”

Su Yu was able to recognize the technique with one look. He had only heard about it before. Since he had never consumed the blood essence of the lightning divines, he didn’t even know this technique.

He cursed inwardly and hurriedly moved away with his earth movement skill. A detection technique like this was very annoying. It was sweeping through the entire area with brute force. Regardless of what ability one was using to hide, one would still be interrupted by the lightning blasts. And any interruption could potentially expose one’s presence to the person using the detection technique.

So the person targeting him was someone from the lightning divine race? He started recalling the books he had read recently. Which young geniuses from the lightning divine race have been operating in the Plain of Desires recently?

“There are three lightning divines in the Heavenly Hunt Index.”

Yes. There were three of them.

One was on the Earth Index, the other was on the Profound Index, and the third person was on the Yellow Index. The person in the Yellow Index was only a Skysoar. From the strength of the lightning bolt he saw, the person targeting him was most definitely not a Skysoar. That person could very well be a Mountainsea.

“The one in the Earth Index is a Mountainsea while the one in the Profound Index is a ninth-stage Cloudbreach. Which of them is targeting me?”

Su Yu was unsure. He wouldn’t be able to find out unless he scanned the person through his Perception Jade about one kilometer away. But it was likely that he wouldn’t be a match for either of them.

A ninth-stage Cloudbreach of the divine race was very strong. That was especially true for the lightning divine race as they were extremely good at combat. Since this person was on the index, they had definitely killed someone above their level before.

If it was the person from the Profound Index, then this person must have killed an early Mountainsea. If the Mountainsea was at a higher cultivation level, this person wouldn’t have remained in the Profound Index.
