Chapter 1561: Don't Come! I'll Bite! (2)

Meanwhile, Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng were already so tired they were panting.

They were facing three super experts from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Naturally, the three pavilion experts were also feeling very helpless. They were too sacred to approach Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng for real anymore. Further away, the fourteen Invincibles merely fought half-heartedly without really trying.

Even further away, the Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor was in a standoff with the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor while busy snacking. The two did not fight. They were only standing there to keep each other in check.

Suddenly, the iron devourer looked in a certain direction. His stuffy voice rang out, "Su Yu, trouble is coming for you. Tiangu is starting to use his trump card."

Moments after, an immortal appeared in the distance.

The immortal bowed slightly at the iron devourer and greeted respectfully, "Greetings, Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor."

The iron devourer said, "Wisdom King, ninth-degree Eternal, an immortal expert of the first epoch. During the first epoch, He Tu had suffered two major setbacks. The first setback caused him to turn into an ancient city mayor. The second setback killed him. Wisdom King was the reason for his first setback."

In short, this was He Tu's enemy.

At the time, He Tu had already affirmed his dao. Even so, he was forced to become an ancient city resident. For the first time, Su Yu learned that it was due to this so-called Wisdom King. A ninth-degree Eternal! This was not someone they could contend against. That was especially true since this was a ninth-degree Eternal from the first epoch.

The Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor said, "I thought he was dead since he never achieved Daofuse. Surprisingly, he's still alive. Sure enough, the immortals are long-lived. Even with heavy injuries, they can somehow keep living."

He sighed as he introduced the newcomer. He was here to deter the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor. But the reverse was also being done to him.

It wasn't too hard for a Daofuse to handle a ninth-degree Eternal, but it was by no means easy either. Three to five ninth-degree Eternals would usually be enough to put up a good fight against a Daofuse. For example, Great Qin King and the others had once done so.

Thus, the Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor had no way of dealing with Wisdom King. The various experts were relieved to see that. Finally, the immortals were using their trump card.

This time, the immortals were indeed the ones leading the operation. A large number of immortal experts had participated, including ancient fossils like Jade King and Han Xiang. And now, even someone from the first epoch had appeared. Clearly, the immortals were much more determined than the other races to kill Su Yu.

Alarmed, Su Yu was just about to open the death tunnel when Wisdom King spoke, "Su Yu, are you thinking of opening the death tunnel? Is that your final trump card?"

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat.

He knew!

Wisdom King enjoyed the change of Su Yu's expression. He said, "Back then, He Tu did the same. I encountered it many times. However, think carefully before doing so. You can lose control too easily. And the moment that happens, things won't end well for you. As for entering the tunnel yourself...the death spirits don't care who we are. They will attack all living beings. Be careful lest you get yourself killed."

Wisdom King smiled and said, "Why don't you forget about the death tunnel and have some fun with me?"

Su Yu's expression turned solemn. He had thought that nobody knew about this possibility. But that was not the case. The immortals knew. In that case, the older experts of the other races might be aware as well. No wonder. No wonder there were so few major race experts around him.

Most of them were from the minor races and the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Were the pavilion experts being manipulated like tools as well? They knew he could open a death tunnel, but were they aware that he had dozens of death sovereigns waiting down there?

Su Yu gnashed his teeth and said, "Have some fun? Since you know what I'm doing, why don't you have some fun down there with me?"

A death tunnel was totally worth opening if it could get an expert of this level killed.

A ninth-degree Eternal!

A super expert of the first epoch.

The death of someone like that would probably be painful for even the immortals. He was probably second only to a Daofuse in terms of combat strength. And as far as Su Yu knew, Tiangu was the sole Daofuse in the immortal race.

Wisdom King approached Su Yu one step at a time. He looked at Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng before looking at the surrounding Invincibles. He indifferently asked, "Are you fighting or are you pulling back to watch the fight?"

Numerous expressions changed upon hearing that question. They wanted to leave, but would he allow them to leave? Clearly, the answer was no. They could flee, but they would need to be constantly wary of the immortals moving forward.

With the arrival of a ninth-degree Eternal, the courage of the minor race Invincibles was boosted slightly. Thus, they stopped hesitating and attacked together. Since a backer had arrived, it was time to fight properly.

Su Yu did not hesitate and opened the death tunnel. A large amount of death qi entered his body, but he kept it inside his body without allowing any to leak out of his body.

He was taking in so much death qi that it felt as though he had transformed into a death spirit himself. He floated there as a black hole appeared below him. Beyond the whirlpool was an ancient castle. Xing Yue's ancient castle, to be precise.

Su Yu could feel it. He could feel that this was Xing Yue's lair. A terrifyingly large number of death spirits were waiting down there.

***

At the same time.

A black hole appeared above the ancient castle.

Dozens of death sovereigns were holding a meeting in the castle.

He Tu, Dummy, and Xing Yue were all present.

Xing Yue was too busy to care about the tunnel. She was in the middle of speaking. "Everyone, I—"

Just then, the death sovereigns looked up. One of them muttered in confusion, "What is...that? I can feel...some living beings."

The same death sovereign looked at He Tu and asked in surprise, "He Tu...didn't you do the same in the past? Isn't this a manually opened tunnel?"

He Tu knew that this was the work of Su Yu.

He smiled and said, "We'll wait and see. There is no rush. Looks like someone is trying to make us fight for them. Do not be rash. Back then, many death sovereigns died because of me. Learn from that lesson. There is no need to make yourself a tool of others so easily."

After a slight hesitation, Xing Yue said, "Is this Su Yu's work? That is my subordinate. I ordered him to throw some living beings down to serve as the meal for our feast. Is he...ready with the meal?"

"Living beings for our feast?" A death sovereign laughed and said, "You are quite generous, Xing Yue. But weak living beings don't mean much for us."

"These living beings should be at the level of sovereigns." Xing Yue looked up, piercing through the roof with her gaze, and focused on the black hole before saying, "Let's wait. When Su Yu comes down, I'll ask him about it. If the offering isn't to our liking, I'll slaughter him and make him the main course instead. But if the offering is good enough, I will let him go back up and toss some new offerings down every now and then. "

"Su Yu?" A death sovereign snorted coldly and said, "If you ask me, we should just kill him. He has helped the other guardians a lot. Originally, Rainbow Rain was about to fall. But that bastard ruined everything!"

He Tu chuckled and said, "What's the rush? Having Su Yu around is good for us. He can play the same role that I played all those years ago. He is probably the only person capable of opening death tunnels in this era. Such tunnels are not under the control of the guardians. Killing him will make this era a lot more boring."

A different death sovereign said, "He Tu is right. If Su Yu is really willing to open death tunnels everywhere, keeping him around is good for us."

Suddenly, He Tu stood up and said, "Why don't we take a look? Let's see if Su Yu is encountering any trouble. Just treat it as an amusing show."

The other death sovereigns laughed and said, "Sure. Let's do it."

Then, the group of death sovereigns flew outside the castle. There, they could hear some sounds from the tunnel.

***

The death tunnel was opened.

The charging Invincibles stopped instantly and started hesitating.

Death tunnel!

Were there death sovereigns down there?

Su Yu coldly asked, "Don't force me! There are three death sovereigns down there, including a seventh-degree Eternal! Are you forcing me to release them and slaughter you all? Must you serve as the tools of others?"

Three.

Including a seventh-degree Eternal!

Hearing that, the Invincibles hesitated even more.

Wisdom King laughed and said, "Are you sure about that, Su Yu?"

Su Yu gnashed his teeth furiously and roared, "Lord Xing Yue, please assist me!"

Next, the tunnel shook. Then, Xing Yue flew out. She was not alone. Dummy followed behind her. Shortly after, He Tu stepped out as well.

Su Yu roared with laughter, "Come on! Kill me! The three lords have long reached an agreement with me! They will be assisting me with my enemies! Wisdom King? Who do you think you are? So what if you're a ninth-degree Eternal? Come kill me! I dare you!"

The arrival of the three death sovereigns halted the steps of the approaching Invincibles completely. Su Yu wasn't lying! The three death sovereigns were incredibly strong. Even the weakest of the three, Xing Yue, was a middle-degree Eternal. The other two were late-degree Eternals.

Wisdom King frowned slightly as he focused on the death sovereigns. After a moment, he asked, "He Tu?"

He Tu looked at Wisdom King as well. After a long while, he said, "Oh, it's you? How are you still alive? No wonder I couldn't find you down there all these years. I remember crushing your sea of willpower back then. How did you survive that? You sure are lucky."

He showed no emotion. This was his former enemy, and he had completed his revenge before his death. Surprisingly, this person was still alive.

Su Yu seemed to have grown a lot more confident with the arrival of the three death sovereigns.

Wan Tiansheng hesitated slightly and sent a voice transmission, "Will this backfire? Will they really help us?"

"It will work. Don't worry."

Su Yu sent a voice transmission to Xing Yue, "Lord, how many sovereigns are down there?"

"Over thirty."

That was a good number. When laying out a trap, he couldn't be too obvious. If he did not summon even one death sovereign out, it would be too obvious that there was an ambush waiting down there. Thus, he had to show them that he had the support of death sovereigns.

Three of them.

Each was incredibly powerful.

𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

And these three would most certainly not be a match for the gathered Invincibles, giving him the perfect excuse to flee into the tunnel.

He sent another voice transmission to Xing Yue.

Xing Yue frowned in annoyance, but she held herself back and coldly said, "Audacious! How dare you bully my subordinate? You deserve to die! I rule an army of ten million death spirits and numerous powerful death spirit generals. Leave or die!"

Wisdom King laughed. Death spirit generals? He was familiar with that term. These so-called generals were basically Pseudo Invincibles. She was actually threatening a ninth-degree Eternal like him with some weaklings.

Sure enough, death spirits lacked wisdom. One shouldn't expect too much from them. Did she not notice the number of gathered Invincibles in the area?

"He Tu, you are very different than how you were back then." With a smile, Wisdom King threw a casual attack toward He Tu and said, "If I were you, I would leave now. That way, you could continue existing as a death spirit. Otherwise, even this form of you would cease to exist."

He Tu raged, "Who do you think you are? Kill him!"

At that, Dummy charged forth alongside He Tu. Waves of death qi billowed out in their path. They were heading straight for Wisdom King. However, Wisdom King merely took a step back. As they approached him, he kept retreating.

When Su Yu saw that, he cursed. The immortals sure were shameless. This was clearly an attempt to lure He Tu and Dummy around, spreading death qi everywhere. When the spread of death qi exceeded a certain threshold, disaster would come.

"Lord He Tu, stop giving chase. Since he wishes to leave, let's kill the others instead."
