Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1338: Absolutely Devilish (2)

"You're too naive, Kid. Do you think the stone statues will tell you everything? You're merely a tool. A tool to reduce the pressure on them. You're not their successor. Are you ready to become a stone statue? If you're not planning to do so, they will not tell you the more important secrets. The dao of three bodies might have existed since the ancient past, but I'm sure this is not the dao the stone statues walk."

Su Yu frowned. Was that really the case? This wouldn't be an easy question to ask. Perhaps he should find a chance to ask them about this. Wasn't the fusion of three bodies the only way to achieve dao affirmation?

Lan Tian said, "According to my investigation, the three bodies dao would only be picked byu some minor races in the ancient past. Or perhaps it was a dao that those with no future would walk. It's the same as the thirty-six acupoint arts in the Human Realm. Only the talentless will cultivate them. No genius will cultivate these arts.

"The three bodies dao is also in the same situation. Of course, this is an era with too many talentless fools. Thus, the trash path became the mainstream path. It's fine for the talentless to walk this path. But how can geniuses like us walk this path?"

Su Yu replied through voice transmission, "The Devil Pseudo Emperor walks this path as well..."

Lan Tian replied disdainfully, "He's talentless and young. Look at those antiques. Have you seen any of them using a tri-life body? For example, the Immortal Pseudo Emperor and the Divine Pseudo Emperor."

Su Yu blanked out again. True. He had never seen any other Pseudo Emperors using tri-life bodies.

Lan Tian said, "Also, there might be more than one Devil Pseudo Emperor. Where is the previous Pseudo Emperor? Is he dead? Nobody knows. I only know that the current Devil Pseudo Emperor has only been their leader for two thousand years. However, the devil race is far older than that. Where is the previous Pseudo Emperor? I don't know the answer."

Su Yu said nothing.

Was the previous Pseudo Emperor not dead?

This was a matter worth contemplating.

He knew that the immortal race was hiding a bunch of old geezers. But that was mainly due to their cultivation method. What about the divines and devils? He realized that the various races still had a lot of secrets.

Finally, he inhaled deeply and stopped worrying. He was still far from dao affirmation. Why was he worrying about this now?

He tossed the matter to the back of his mind and returned his focus to the city. Down below, the match was still ongoing. Some of the unlucky combatants had encountered the death spirits in the city and were forced to seek refuge in the ancient buildings.

Some minor race combatants had entered the inner rings, unaware that the ancient buildings in there were harder to enter. A few unlucky ones had even been killed by the death spirits.

However, that was merely a minority. Most of the people picked to participate in the competition were experienced enough to know that not all buildings in an ancient city could be entered easily.

Meanwhile, Zhu Hongliang was still leisurely consuming heavenly source qi in his ring. He only needed to last half an hour to get a slot. This was way too easy. Even Su Yu laughed when he saw that. The Zhu Family was indeed full of tricks. Then again, he was also the same.

The number of active combatants dropped steadily as time passed.

In less than twenty minutes, more than half of them had been eliminated. That left about thirty of them to roam about the massive city.

The death spirit picked by Su Yu was still wandering about with the shining circle on its head. It might even win multiple slots for Su Yu.

After all, the slots abandoned by those who had hidden in the ancient buildings would be distributed among the survivors at the end. Thus, the death spirit could very well receive three or more slots.

Noticing this, a dragon Invincible said furiously, "Why are we allowing the death spirit to participate? A competition like this is pointless. How is this a test of the combatants' strength?"

Someone else protested, "You're wrong. The inclusion of a death spirit will test the eyesight, luck, and strength of the combatants. Some of the combatants have been able to make use of this environment to ambush the other combatants. This is definitely a demonstration of their strength. Just because the dragons can't do this does not mean that this is not a demonstration of strength."

Su Yu looked at the speaker curiously. The dragon race was a major race as well. Who was brave enough to argue against a dragon king?

When his gaze landed on the speaker, his curiosity was answered.

It was an ancient race expert.

The speaker came from the hou race. There were frequent conflicts between the hou and dragon races. More often than not, the hous would emerge victorious when fighting the dragons one-on-one. The experts of the hou race spent a lot of time near the Dragon Realm as their race mainly fed on the dragons.

This was an extremely terrifying race.

The hou expert was appearing in his original form instead of a humanoid form. When he sensed Su Yu's gaze, he turned his head covered by a yellow mane and coldly asked, "Mayor Su, you seem to be looking at me."

Su Yu smiled, "Yes. Do you come from the hou race, Senior? I understand that the hous love eating dragons. I wonder if you have eaten the divines, devils, and immortals as well? To tell you the truth, the immortals taste the best. The old are chewy while the young are tender..."

The immortal kings stared at him coldly. Dao King said, "Su Yu, must you court trouble all the time?"

Su Yu laughed, "Don't misunderstand me. I'm merely stating the truth. The immortals cultivate the Long Life Art. This is an excellent art at taking care of the body. It is capable of discharging all impurities in one's body through a special acupoint. With a lack of impurities, the immortals must be quite a delicacy."

Drip. Drip. Drip.

The hou started salivating. He was not alone. All around him, the experts of some other ancient beast races started salivating as well.

Even the iron devourer Invincible was tempted. For the first time since his arrival, he placed his bamboo down and looked at Su Yu. With a curious tone, he asked, "Have you eaten any immortals before, Mayor Su?"

Su Yu beamed and said, "Nope. I'm strictly a vegetarian. But I have seen roasted immortal meat before. The fragrance...was unimaginable..."

Drip. Drip. Drip.

The ancient beasts continued salivating.

Dao King warned, "Su Yu, if you keep provoking us, don't blame us for dropping all pretenses."

Su Yu shrugged, "I'm not provoking you at all. Dao King, you know this very well. Do you discharge all your impurities during cultivation? If that's not the case, I'll personally cut my head off for you. I'll be honest. I've consumed immortal blood essence before. And heavens, you can't imagine how it feels. I discharged a large amount of impurities back then. I spent a whole day farting. That was so awkward."

Instantly, the expressions of the immortals changed.

A different immortal king argued furiously, "Nonsense! Su Yu, how dare you sully our name!"

Su Yu shrugged indifferently and stopped speaking.

However, he had said enough to convince everyone present.

Farting.

Those with frequent dealings with the immortals were starting to look at the immortals with bizarre expressions. No wonder. No wonder the immortals would always isolate themselves from the others whenever they cultivated.

Now they knew why. So that was how it was. No wonder the immortals were so long-lived. So they had a way of discharging all impurities. This signified that the flesh of the immortals would definitely be the best flesh one could find.

Some of the beasts present appeared completely indifferent. But inwardly, they had decided to capture a few immortals to try the flavor after this. Perhaps the immortals were really very delicious.

Every single one of these beasts was an incomparably powerful existence. And with so many of them thinking such thoughts at the same time, the immortal kings were hit with an intense sense of crisis. The other immortals had unsightly expressions as well. Their instincts were screaming at them of the looming crisis.

Finally, the hou was able to stop salivating. He asked, "Mayor Su, apart from the immortals, which races are delicious as well?"

He had always believed that the dragons were delicious. But now, he had learned that he was wrong.

Su Yu grinned and said, "I recommend the Clearbright Bird Realm..."

Instantly, an eighth-stage Sunmoon clearbright bird shouted from far away, "Su Yu! You dare?"

Su Yu remained completely indifferent. Why would he not dare? He still remembered how this race had hung his wanted poster in front of their city. Did they make the mistake of believing that he was a forgiving person?

Su Yu sneered and said, "Oops. I almost forgot that we're on their island currently. The flesh of this race is a delicacy as well. Thanks to their cultivation method, the quality of their flesh is extremely high..."

Almost immediately after, a massive bird appeared on the claws of the hou.

A clearbright bird.

When Su Yu turned his head, he noted that the clearbright bird who had shouted to him earlier was gone.

The bird started shrinking.

With the bird in hand, the hou asked while salivating, "Are they really delicious? I have never eaten them before."

The expressions of Dao King and the others changed drastically. One of them said, "Hou King, this isn't appropriate! The clearbright bird race is a neutral race!"

The hou king seemed surprised. "I'm only trying to eat a bird. Why are you stopping this? This is merely natural selection at work. Such was the ancient law of nature. Will you hesitate when eating the fire hogs or some other races? How odd."

He was hungry. This was his food. Why were they forbidding him from eating?

Su Yu was all smiles as he suggested, "Senior, remove the feathers first. Then, crush the internal organs before roasting the bird for a bit."

"Raw is the best! It's more chewy that way!"

Su Yu disagreed, "No, Senior. Allow me to be of service. My fire is special. The flavor of food roasted with my fire will be even more pronounced."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

With a smile, Su Yu sent his fire of inheritance toward the bird. In the blink of an eye, the bird became slightly charred. He had grown significantly since the past. Now, his fire was able to harm even eighth-stage Sunmoons.

The suppression the hou was applying on the bird was making the process even easier. In less than five minutes, he was done roasting the bird.

The impatient hou chomped down without any hesitation. Oil dripped down his mouth as white light flickered all over his body. The white light was the effect of the famed healing ability the clearbright birds were known for. He exclaimed in shock, "This is...delicious! And fresh!"

A bird with healing effects roasted with the fire of inheritance was indeed excellent in taste. While the hou was chomping down on the bird, a moon dropped from the sky.

With a rumble, the distant entrance to the Clearbright Bird Realm was sealed. Alas, it couldn't be moved. Even as he was eating, the hou continued glacing at the entrance while salivating. He wanted to eat more.

This was a race without an Invincible. Even with the realm's suppressive force working against him, he could still maintain the strength of a Pseudo Invincible in it. Perhaps...he should establish a ranch here.

Su Yu smiled. With a cold voice, he suggested, "Please enjoy this race for now. When you finish them all, I will introduce you to a few more races. But that will have to wait since I don't want to distract you when you're enjoying this race, right?"

"True. Thank you!"

The hou turned extremely polite to Su Yu. He was starting to view Su Yu as a great food connoisseur.

Once again, Su Yu laughed. But that laughter chilled countless people on the island.

How had the clearbright birds offended Su Yu?

Someone among the crowd said through voice transmission, "I think I know why. All of you should know this as well. Previously, Great Xia King cut this city apart. At the time, the wanted poster of Su Yu issued by the divines and devils was openly hung on the entrance of the city. As a retaliation, Great Xia King cut the city in two. And now, this monster is instigating the ancient beasts to eat the cleabright birds. It's over for them. Without the help of the major races, things will get disastrous for them."

How terrifying.

Understanding dawned on everyone.

This was Su Yu's revenge for their act of hanging his wanted poster in front of their city.

The clearbright birds were simply too weak. If there was at least one Invincible in the race, the hou would probably have more misgivings when moving against them. However, the strongest expert of the clearbright birds was merely a ninth-stage Sunmoon. And now, they had caught the attention of a monster. Was Su Yu the monster here? Or was that hou the monster? Nobody could say for sure.

Nevertheless, there was no denying that the clearbright birds were in trouble.

Suddenly, Su Yu glanced at the distant mountainbreak bull Invincible. The expression of the Invincible changed as he started cursing inwardly.

Fuck!

Why was the monster looking at him?

He was not delicious at all! One ought to know that quite a lot of these ancient races enjoyed eating. A lot of these ancient races were essentially monstrous beasts. Nobody would say that openly, but everyone knew that.

If they weren't so monstrous, they wouldn't have persisted from the ancient past until the current era. There weren't a lot of them around, but they were incredibly powerful. A truly kind race did not exist as such a race would have gone extinct long ago.

Even the seemingly adorable soul devourers were monsters as well. They enjoyed eating characters and willpower. They were just as dangerous as the other ancient races. That was why the major races would always avoid these monstrous races whenever there was a war since the ancient past.

In short, one could live a long life by being a scourge.
