Chapter 1700: End Of Battle (3)

The explosion forced Su Yu out of his wind-form. Together with the female furball, he was blasted far away. The explosion was intense, causing the female furball to roll repeatedly and Su Yu's body to further fall apart. However, the furious female furball ignored her own condition and unleashed a massive devouring force, eating everything in her vicinity.

Even space itself was swallowed.

And finally, she was satisfied.

Her mood improved.

She became cheerful again.

Not even the pain from the explosion could change her cheery mood. Yes, the Spirit Pseudo Emperor had detonated herself, but the female furball had still managed to eat something. In fact, she was quite full after that one feeding session.

Su Yu was thinking of gathering the pieces of the Spirit Pseudo Emperor’s corpse, but when he saw the female furball eating everything, he chuckled, revealing his bloodstained teeth. So be it. The female furball had fought hard today. It was fair for her to get something to eat.

With the Spirit Pseudo Emperor's death, the rain of blood grew heavier.

𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

In the Spirit Realm, countless spirits prostrated on the ground and wailed in grief and despair. Some were so saddened that they lost their sentience and became a part of nature yet again.

Yet another Pseudo Emperor had died.

For Su Yu, the Spirit Pseudo Emperor was an opponent. For the spirits, that was their leader, the person fighting for their freedom and survival. A hero. The Spirit Pseudo Emperor had joined the battle with over ten Invincibles.

A few had died so far, and the rest of them started mourning.

Their Pseudo Emperor had died.

"Su Yu!"

Just as Su Yu was about to consume another drop of blood essence to kill the Ape Pseudo Emperor, the spirit Invincibles charged toward him in mad grief.

"The myriad spirits have always been treated as materials, coveted by the myriad races! By killing our Pseudo Emperor, you are pushing us to the brink of extinction!"

The griefing Invincibles charged at Su Yu without caring about their lives.

Numerous Rivers of Time surrounded Su Yu.

Then, numerous explosions erupted.

A mountain exploded, blasting Su Yu away and further injuring his heavily injured body. Fortunately, the reward from killing the Spirit Pseudo Emperor was here. He hurriedly healed himself with the reward.

Right at that moment, a massive river shot over before exploding.

A towering tree, an ancient rock, a tender grass...one after another, they exploded around Su Yu.

Su Yu was sent flying everywhere by the explosions. The power of the blood essence was already fading, but the heavenly reward was supporting his body with more energy. He was blasted far away before crashing into the barrier of the Human Realm.

Up in the sky of the Human Realm, the shape of Su Yu's body appeared. After stopping, Su Yu coughed up a large amount of blood.

When he was finally done coughing, he shook his head while gasping for breath. It was only then that he realized what had happened. The remaining spirit Invincibles had all self-detonated.

And all their detonations had been aimed toward him. That had nearly killed him.

A sense of weakness engulfed his body. His injuries were heavy. Even so, his body was rapidly stitching itself up with the energy received from the heavenly reward.

With blood dripping down his mouth, Su Yu laughed.

Such was a battle between races.

The spirit race was surprisingly decisive. They had sacrificed themselves just to avenge their dead leader. With this, the Daofuse and Invincibles of the spirit race participating in the battle were all dead.

"Dumbass."

While looking at the distant Ape Pseudo Emperor, Su Yu said, "Your self-detonations did not save your Pseudo Emperor. Rather, you saved the Ape Pseudo Emperor."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

He started cursing while coughing blood. That had nearly killed him. If the white dog's blood essence was even a tiny bit weaker, he would have died. He had nearly forgotten that Invincibles weren't weak as well.

Faraway, having lost a leg to the Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor and his toso to the Hou Pseudo Emperor, the Ape Pseudo Emperor roared and fled with only his head. This was his chance to flee! He was supposed to die right after the Spirit Pseudo Emperor, but the spirit Invincibles had bought him this chance to escape in their grief.

Just then, the female furball arrived and bit down at the escaping head. A sense of crisis enveloped the Ape Pseudo Emperor. Not far away, three ancient apes looked at each other before pushing the guardian they were fighting back. Then, they roared and transformed into three massive apes.

With their very bodies, they stood in the female furball's path. Unable to pull back in time, the female furball swallowed the three apes. Then, three massive explosions erupted, blasting her far away from the Ape Pseudo Emperor.

Seeing that, Su Yu sighed with regret. The female furball did not seem too bright.

Why must she swallow everything she saw? Each time, she would be sent flying everywhere since her victims would always self-detonate once swallowed. Of the many Daofuses fighting on humanity's side, the female furball must have suffered the most beating. How pitiful.

Neither of the three ancient apes was a weakling. Their explosions had sent the female furball flying far away. The Ape Pseudo Emperor hurriedly fled with a look of grief in his eyes. The three ancient apes were the well-respected seniors of their race. And now, all three had detonated themselves just so he could flee.

A powerful race like theirs could survive without a few Invincibles, but they couldn't afford to lose their Daofuse. In the blink of an eye, the Ape Pseudo Emperor vanished into the distance.

The remaining ape Invincibles also started withdrawing while fighting. Some died in the attempt, and some succeeded.

At this point, Su Yu could no longer give chase to any of these fleeing Daofuses. All of them had moved rather far away from him. As for the Invincibles who had failed to flee, they started charging toward the Human Realm.

Yes. Having realized that they couldn't flee anymore, they were madly rushing toward the entrance of the Human Realm.

From afar, Tiangu's voice rang out, "Kill! Kill your way into the Human Realm and buy more time for the Pseudo Emperors! Eternals can die, but not Pseudo Emperors! Losing a Pseudo Emperor is the same as risking extinction!"

His words were useful as even more Invincibles started rushing toward the Human Realm. That would force the humans to return and defend their home instead of giving chase.

Invincibles were self-detonating everywhere.

After coughing another mouthful of blood, Su Yu stood up and rushed toward the Human Realm as well. That was their home ground. Thus, it must be protected. An Invincible only needed to rush in and self-detonate to instantly destroy a city.

Su Yu was not alone. Great Xia King and Great Ming King were also rushing back. In a way, this was quite similar to how Great Qin King had rushed toward the Divine Realm to force some of their experts to return. At the end of the day, these Invincibles and Daofuses were only fighting so hard for the survival of their races. If they couldn't even protect their people, what would be the point of fighting so hard?

Su Yu had barely reached the realm entrance when a nearby dragon charged toward him madly. The dragon had completely given up on withdrawing since the Dragon Realm had been sealed.

Boom!

Su Yu reacted with a swing of his saber, but before his saber could hit, the dragon exploded. Once again, Su Yu crashed into the realm barrier while coughing blood. He felt quite helpless.

He hadn't even recovered from his previous injuries yet he was hit by another self-detonation.

Right at that moment, a sigh rang out.

It was Soldier King, one of the two Daofuses fighting the book spirit and tea plant. He said, "Withdraw, everyone."

"What is a soldier? Everything. Heaven and earth. Nature itself. All living beings. All can serve as soldiers."

As he chanted, countless soldiers appeared in the sky. These were the experts of the various races who had died over the years. All of them had returned.

Instantly, the massive illusion covered everyone.

Rumble!

A great dao appeared in the sky. Attached to the great dao was a smaller dao. Out of nowhere, the smaller dao started burning.

Numerous explosions erupted.

By igniting his own dao, the Soldier King was helping the others retreat.

"The immortals will fight the humans until the very end. I hope that the other races will not shrink. The humans in the Upper Realm have been wiped out. The moment the thousand-year limit arrives, the humans down here will be wiped out as well."

His voice spread everywhere.

His body was burning.

By igniting himself, he broke free from the book spirit's nets.

The branches wrapped around him broke down as well. Then, an intense radiance erupted from his body, followed by a massive explosion.

Soldier King. Dead.

The fifth Daofuse to die today.

At the same time, the heavily injured Talisman King released a gigantic talisman and took in some of the escaping experts. Then, the talisman vanished alongside Talisman King while the book spirit and tea plant were distracted by the explosion.

Elsewhere, Mo Ji had cut a massive path of retreat with a gigantic burning halberd before vanishing alongside the Devil Pseudo Emperor and Nether Pseudo Emperor.

***

Outside the Celestial Chasm Realm.

Together, Tiangu and Heavenly Overseer Marquis sent Soy Bun and Great Zhou King flying before grabbing the various experts around them and fleeing. With the death of the fifth Daofuse, it was time to end this battle. If it continued any longer, they might really suffer extermination. They had to return and assume a defensive position instead.

Seeing that Soy Bun was still trying to give chase, Great Zhou King shouted, "Don't chase a cornered enemy!"

When Soy Bun stopped and looked back, he saw that Great Zhou King was already panting heavily with a pale face. As for the human Invincibles who had rushed out of the Celestial Chasm Realm earlier, a few more had died.

Looking around and noticing the missing faces, Great Zhou King sighed inwardly. He didn't even know if this was something he could feel happy about.

Six human Invincibles had died here.

Ning Hong, Great Liang King, Great Yue King, Great Liao King, Great Min King, and Qushan King.

In the Human Realm, Great Yuan King and Great Zheng King had died.

Eight human Invincibles had perished in total.

As for the survivors, almost all of them had lost one or two tri-life bodies. It was pointless to give chase when they could barely keep fighting. That would only cause them to lose even more Invincibles.

As Great Zhou King stared into the distance, he suppressed the grief in his heart and smiled.

Victory!

Five enemy Daofuses and over a hundred enemy Invincibles had been killed. This was a major victory for humanity. This battle alone would ensure the supremacy of humanity until the thousand-year limit was up.

"Su Yu..."

As he muttered that name, the smile on his face grew wider. Shortly after, a one-armed man limped over. After giving him a smile, that man collapsed.

"Old Qin!"

The human Invincibles exclaimed in alarm. When Great Zhou King rushed over and checked, he exhaled and said, "He's not dead, but he's as good as a cripple right now. Fortunately, Su Yu has risen. We don't have to worry about a lack of successor anymore."

"..."

The expressions of the human Invincibles turned odd upon hearing that. Why was Great Zhou King speaking like it was fine for Great Qin King to die? But then again, that seemed to be the case.

Su Yu was truly impressive. They wouldn't have won such a major victory this time if it weren't for him. Since Great Qin King was still alive, there was nothing for them to worry about.

As for his injuries, well, they were already used to it. He had suffered such heavy injuries many times before, yet he was still around.

***

Outside the Human Realm, Su Yu inhaled deeply and shouted, "Stop the pursuit! He Tu, return with the death spirits! Stop running!"

Far away, He Tu ran back obediently.

As for the death sovereigns, they were looking at each other nervously.

Was it over?

What should they do now, then?

One of them sent a voice transmission, "Let's go. Let's rush into one of these minor realms--"

Just then, Su Yu's voice rang out again, "Death sovereigns, return to the Death Realm immediately and I'll spare you. If you dare to run around, die."

"..."

At that, the fearful death sovereigns started flying toward the various ancient cities in fear.

Fine, fine.

There were too many experts here for them to stay fearless.

Never before had these death sovereigns been so obedient. There was no helping it as the battle earlier was truly too terrifying. More importantly, the Daofuses on humanity's side were still around. They most certainly didn't want to face those Daofuses. Even death spirits feared death.

With that, calm finally returned.

In this battle, five Daofuses and over a hundred Invincibles had perished.

The most intense battle to have ever erupted in the tenth epoch was finally over.
