Chapter 1503: Tai Shan (2)

Su Yu was left quite speechless.

He could only say that the department head had truly gone mad.

Everyone had been labeling him, Lan Tian, and Wan Tiansheng lunatics. But this human from the first epoch was also mad. Sure enough, Old Wan was right. At times, the three bodies would be in conflict with each other.

This was most likely the situation the department head was in. Did he blame the department head for this? Not really. A master and a race. That was indeed a hard choice. For example, Su Yu's teachers were Liu Wenyan and Bai Feng. If they told him to kill Great Qin King, what would he do? His teachers and his race. How should he choose?

Su Yu was sure he would struggle with the decision as well. However, he had never expected to see a supreme expert struggle with himself to such an extent. He found this sad, and he felt helpless.

That was such a powerful human. His assistance would be enough to deal a major damage to the myriad race experts here. But he also rejoiced that this was a human. That was why the department head had struggled to obey Heavenly Overseer Marquis' order to kill him.

Suddenly, He Tu asked, "What is your name?"

"Tian Yue."

He Tu blanked out slightly and muttered, "Tian Yue...I remember you. You...are that guy. You affirmed your dao all those years ago. You are the descendant of a human king. So it's you..."

He knew Tian Yue. After all, they were both fellow humans from the first epoch. Back then, they were in a similar situation.

Su Yu couldn't afford to waste more of his time on the department head. He sent Xing Yue a voice transmission, "Lord, please help me again..."

Xing Yue looked at Su Yu coldly.

She seemed to be hesitating, or perhaps she was communicating with the other death spirits. After a short moment, she replied, "The other two disagree. Only Dummy agrees. There are only the two of us..."

Su Yu had mixed feelings about this.

Xing Yue had agreed. But he was still absorbing her strength. She was actually quite weak in her current state. However, Dummy was quite strong. What should he do here?

After consuming a drop of Invincible blood essence, his aura had risen significantly. However, his body was bloated and damaged. He was still unable to fully withstand the strength of an Invincible. However, it did not matter. At worst, he would only need to eat more of his lotus roots. At his current level of strength, the roots were no longer as effective on him. But these roots were still good enough to restore his body.

As for Great Qin King and the others, he had no way of delivering the roots to them. Even if he could, the roots wouldn't help as they were too strong for the roots to be helpful.

"At this point, I can only start fighting Invincibles..."

At that thought, he consumed another drop of blood essence."

"You can stay back, Lord. Get Dummy to join me. Lord, help me. Try to stop the death sovereigns from killing the other humans."

He could see that Xia Longwu and the others were struggling.

Xing Yue agreed, "I can slow them down."

Then, Dummy nodded blankly and flew toward Su Yu. As for Xing Yue, he flew toward Xia Longwu and roared, "Stop! What are you doing?"

Some of the death sovereigns knew her, and some didn't. One of them asked in surprise, "What are you doing, Xing Yue?"

Xing Yue declared coldly, "I am converting them into my subordinates. Piss off."

"What?"

The death sovereigns blanked out.

Xing Yue looked outside the city and shouted, "Are you helping me or them? They are here because of the laws. The laws are our mortal enemies. Fail their mission. Have the Source Return Blade waste its strength on them. Perhaps this will allow us to remove the blade altogether."

Even Su Yu was stunned upon hearing those words. He had never taught her that. Since when did she learn to use her brain? Was her brain actually reliable?

The surprised Tuofa asked, "You mean..."

"Stop them from completing their mission and make the Source Return Blade attack them. Exhaust the Source Return Blade and remove it, fully opening the death tunnel. Do you need me to say more? At the moment, we are free from the heavenly laws. But sooner or later, the Source Return Blade will come after us. After all, we have still gone against the heavenly laws by being here."

"Will we really be punished?"

Tuofa was unsure.

They looked at He Tu questioningly. After a short pause, He Tu said, "I'm not sure. Maybe. It's safer to listen to Xing Yue."

Tuofa raised his voice in fury, "He Tu, have you been fooling us all this while?"

So they would be punished by the heavenly laws after returning to the Death Realm? They had never considered this before. In that case, why did He Tu persuade them to leave? But He Tu was unsure. This was his first time doing something like this as a death spirit.

Xing Yue said, "At this point, we can only deal with the heavenly laws if you don't want to descend into eternal slumber."

Tuofa said, "Even if we stop them, the heavenly laws will only punish them slightly. That won't be enough to weaken the laws. Do you take us for fools?"

Xing Yue said, "Yes. But there are eight of them here. After killing more Invincibles, there will be even more of them. Ten. Twenty. That will be enough to drain the Source Return Blade. Furthermore, the laws have already been drained significantly due to Su Yu. The Source Return Blade is still a divine weapon. The heavenly laws will not have as much control over it. The Source Return Blade takes priority over the ancient assembly here."

The death sovereigns were still furious. He Tu had fooled all of them! They would be punished by the heavenly laws after this! Even knowing this, He Tu had invited them out of the Death Realm.

Alas, they were left with no other choice. Furious, the eight death sovereigns joined Xing Yue and surrounded the eight newcomer death sovereigns.

Silence descended.

Xia Longwu, Zhou Polong, Zhu Tianfang...

They were normally very good at maintaining their calm. But now, all of them were staring at Su Yu with stupefaction. Even Great Qin King and the Invincibles around him had the urge to do the same.

Holy shit!

Was this really happening?

Just how many experts had Su Yu colluded with?

Was he an expert socializer?

The ancient cities, the soul devourers, the death spirits, the five elementals...

More importantly, he had colluded with multiple death spirits, including one who was surprisingly good at talking.

Even He Tu was staring at Su Yu blankly.

Was this really happening?

Just how did Su Yu brainwash Xing Yue into such a loyal companion?

Su Yu's mouth dropped. He...he swore he had merely given her a simple suggestion to make her buy some time for him. He had truly never expected this to happen.

Holy shit!

Xing Yue had learned to use her brain! Xing Yue had learned to fool others! Holy shit! How? How was this happening? Weren't death spirits supposed to be dumb? Did Xing Yue eat anything good for her brain recently?

Tuofa and the others were furious. Thus, they only surrounded the newly arrived death sovereigns but did not fight. While surrounding them, Tuofa gnashed his teeth and threatened, "Don't move. Wait until you fail your mission and your punishment arrives. Think this through. If you dare complete this mission, you die. Wait for the Source Return Blade to punish you and help us deal with it or die."

He was furious. But he could only do this. He really wanted to kill someone.

Xing Yue said, "Dealing with the Source Return Blade is the best method to ensure our safe passage in and out of the Luminous Domain Mansion. Why are you so angry? Removing the Source Return Blade is the same as killing Grandstar for me. You should be happy that so many experts have gathered here to help you with the Source Return Blade."

The death sovereigns blanked out slightly before muttering in realization, "That...is true!"

After dealing with the Source Return Blade, they would be the masters of the Luminous Domain Mansion. That...wasn't that great? They all looked at Tuofa. Should they stay angry? Meanwhile, Xia Longwu and the other humans were sneaking far away from the death sovereigns like obedient little kittens.

That was enlightening. Never had someone broadened their horizons so much before. They couldn't help but admit that Su Yu was the craziest human alive.

Not even Great Qin King was as crazy.

Just how many Invincibles had he colluded with? When Xia Longwu and the others did a calculation inwardly, all of them were shocked. The number of Invincibles he had colluded with had probably surpassed the number of Invincibles humanity had.

That was how an overlord should be! In comparison, Great Qin King was only strong but he had zero social skills.

When the five Invincibles reached Su Yu, they exhaled in relief. Yes. They were truly relieved.

Qin Zhen said pitifully, "Stop exhaling in relief. Don't forget my old man!"

Yes, yes, none of them had forgotten his old man. But all of them were too heavily injured to help. Thus, they all gazed at Su Yu hopefully. Could he collude with more Invincibles? Were more helpers coming?

Look at that fate Invincible. He was looking quite free at the moment. Could Su Yu collude with him as well?

Oh, there were also the likes of September, Skyeater, and Hollow. They were all capable of fighting Invincibles. Could Su Yu collude with them as well?

Su Yu understood the meaning behind their gazes.

He thought about it, gnashed his teeth, and said, "Brother September, are you here? I am a human who has obtained the inheritance of the iron devourers. I have mastered the 72-Forged Iron Devourer. Are you willing to lend me a hand?"

At that, September appeared and looked at him doubtfully, "You...sure enough, an expert of my race saw you before. He said that you might have learned our 72-Forged Iron Devourer. What a surprise..."

Su Yu hurriedly added, "That's not all. Not long ago, I received the blessings of an ancient iron devourer after completing my 72-Forged Iron Devourer."

The expression of September turned even weirder as he said, "I see. No wonder. No wonder something felt off that day. Are you talking about the day you forged your weapon?"

"Yes."

September sighed and took a large bamboo out. He said, "So be it. Humanity might not lose. I shall...help you once out of respect for your seventy-two forges."

Once again, Xia Longwu and the others blanked out. Was this...really happening?

"Hollow..." Su Yu shouted.

Not far away, Hollow scanned the battleground and said, "I need at least one petal of the nine-leaf skylotus. I need it or I won't be able to affirm my dao. If you agree, I will fight with my life on the line."

Su Yu gnashed his teeth and said, "Yes, if we manage to get the skylotus."

"Deal."

"Skyeater..."

A ferocious beast appeared in the sky and looked at Su Yu. When he saw Su Yu, his heart thumped.

Su Yu and four human Invincibles.

Hollow, September, the five elemental Invincible, and Dummy. There were nine of them in total.

After thinking about it, Skyeater said, "My royal father said that you gave him the Clearbright Bird Realm."

"That's right!"

"I want an immortal king corpse, a devil king corpse, and a divine king corpse..."

"Deal."

Skyeater gave his answer, "Deal."

Xia Longwu and the others were further stunned.

Su Yu shouted at them, "Start killing! What are you waiting for?"

Then, he shot off.

Meanwhile, Xia Longwu and the others were so excited they felt like crying. As for Qin Zhen, he laughed and cried at the same time as he said, "Daddy Su! You're my daddy from now on! Please save my old man!"

Blood Fire Devil King and the others were alarmed.

Holy shit!

Great Qin King was stunned as well. While coughing blood, he continued swinging his spear in a robotic manner while muttering, "Human Emperor?"

The dao of emperors?

Was this the dao of emperors?

He felt as though...he had witnessed an Emperor in action.

An Emperor ruling the Myriad Realms.
