Chapter 565: The Battle Begins!

When he got a clear look at the youth's appearance, Zhao Tianxing's whole body shuddered violently.

His pupils contracted sharply.

"Su... Su Yu!"

Zhao Tianxing exclaimed.

Instantly, it drew everyone's attention.

Su Yu?

The name Su Yu appeared in the minds of everyone in the City of Slaughter, and everyone's sturdy bodies shuddered.

The name Su Yu was truly renowned across the Myriad Races Continent.

The Myriad Races Continent's top pride, in just one year, reached the King-Sealing Realm.

Even within the Cosmic Grotto-Heaven, one person drew away the Immortal Emperor's identity, creating hope for the entire Human Race to return.

Everyone believed Su Yu had fallen.

But even if Su Yu had fallen, his name remained firmly etched in the hearts of these powerhouses.

Regardless of differing camps or stances.

Su Yu's talent was also indeed acknowledged by many.

Including everyone in the City of Slaughter.

When Zhao Tianxing spoke that name, everyone's first reaction was...

Su Yu isn't dead, is he?

Would Zhao Tianxing saying this provoke the envoy's wrath?

But when they could no longer contain their curiosity, raised their heads, and looked at Su Yu, everyone was utterly shocked.

Because.....

The person before them was none other than Su Yu!

For a moment, the King-Sealing experts of the City of Slaughter were all shaken.

The Lord of Slaughter further exclaimed, "Su Yu? You aren't dead, are you? How did you become...."

As he spoke those words, the Lord of Slaughter instantly realized.

No matter who the person before him was, he had an identity.

Envoy of the Upper Realm!

If his words were to displease the other party...

the entire City of Slaughter would suffer the other's wrath, even face annihilation!

In the Lord of Slaughter's pupils filled with alarm, and even a hint of... fear!

Walking out from the gate, it was none other than Su Yu, who had passed through the Blade-Wielding Hall's spatial transmission array.

Su Yu gazed at Zhao Tianxing's appearance, and his heart couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions.

"Old Principal, long time no see!"

Su Yu rubbed his slightly sore nose tip and spoke softly.

The familiar voice, the familiar face, finally brought Zhao Tianxing back to his senses; he looked at Su Yu, stepped forward, placed his hands on Su Yu's shoulders, and examined him up and down.

"I heard the Immortal Emperor say you weren't struck down into the Forbidden Land by him, right? Entering the Forbidden Land means ten deaths, no life—how did you survive?"

"And... how did you become an envoy of the Upper Realm?"

Zhao Tianxing threw out question after question.

Indeed, Su Yu's appearance was too shocking.

Back then, because of Su Yu's fall,

the Slay Dragon King personally led the Slay Dragon Army, trampling the Immortal Race, nearly wiping them out.

That's when the other Sovereigns could no longer sit still and all stepped forward.

This forced the Slay Dragon King to retreat.

This also shows how great a loss and shock Su Yu's fall brought to the entire Human Race.

Even in that battle, Zhao Tianxing participated.

However, due to his different status, Zhao Tianxing did not act openly but worked in the shadows, slaying the Immortal Race's experts.

And now, Su Yu stands alive and well before Zhao Tianxing.

This made Zhao Tianxing unable to hold back any longer.

Su Yu gave a slight smile and said, "Principal, it's a long story. I just heard you say the Human Race is in trouble?"

When Su Yu said this again, he was slightly puzzled.

According to Su Yu's thoughts, in the Myriad Races Continent there is an Azure Dragon avatar stationed there; even if it cannot exert its full power,

it wouldn't allow the Myriad Races to so easily inflict harm on the Human Race, would it?

But hearing Zhao Tianxing's words earlier....

It seems the Human Race now has suffered a great disaster.

This made Su Yu feel a bit anxious.

He feared something might go wrong.

Zhao Tianxing sighed and told Su Yu about the events of this period.

After the Slay Dragon King fell, the Myriad Races' five Sovereigns also suffered considerable damage, although the five Sovereigns, despite being heavily wounded,

but the Myriad Races' newly risen three Sovereigns launched a fierce attack on the Human Race.

Many main cities fell one after another.

Even in some places, they directly struck the Human Race's border line.

In the end, the Three Emperors of the Human Race had no choice but to intervene, preserving the Human Race's borders.

But even so, as the other five Emperors of the Myriad Races began to recover one by one.

The strength of the Myriad Races grew ever more powerful.

And the Human Race, though possessing what was left behind from the Qian

Kun Cave Heaven back then, had also cultivated quite a number of experts.

The entire Human Race was in a state of flourishing growth.

Given enough time, the Human Race's foundations would enter a stage of explosive expansion.

However, the Myriad Races clearly would not give the Human Race that much time.

They directly launched a war of racial extermination.

All the Myriad Races mobilized in full force.

Countless King- and Marquis-level Experts set out.

They were determined to annihilate the twelve main cities of the Human Race before the five Emperors of the Myriad Races emerged from seclusion.

After the twelve main cities of the Human Race were thoroughly annihilated.

The five Emperors of the Myriad Races, joined by three newly advanced Emperors, would completely crush the Human Race and unify the entire Myriad Races Continent.

And now....

The few remaining main cities of the Human Race — Mie Long Cheng, Qianlong City, and Hope City — already had Myriad Races armies mobilizing, preparing to strike.

This was also why Zhao Tianxing was so anxious.

"Sigh, what kind of figure was the Slay Dragon King, to actually fall at the hands of those five scumbags. Su Yu, you absolutely must not act on impulse."

"Now is not the time to seek trouble with the Myriad Races. Right now, we should focus on preserving the Human Race, so that we can use time to let the Human Race grow."

Zhao Tianxing exhorted earnestly.

In Zhao Tianxing's view, not much time had passed at all. Even if Su Yu's talent was exceptionally strong, at most he would be a five-step King-sealed expert with a half-step Great Dao Realm cultivation.

Facing the entire Myriad Races, he was still a little bit short.

Even though Su Yu had come down from the Upper Realm, and the Upper Realm envoys' strength was all exceptionally powerful.

But Zhao Tianxing did not believe that Su Yu could compare to the other Upper Realm envoys.

Perhaps it was because Su Yu had some fortuitous opportunity in the Upper Realm that he was able to return.

After hearing Zhao Tianxing's words, Su Yu merely smiled faintly.

"What are you laughing about? Even the Slay Dragon King has fallen, and you can still laugh?"

Zhao Tianxing looked at Su Yu with some puzzlement.

By all reason, the Slay Dragon King was Su Yu's master. With one's own master dead, even the most composed person would fly into a rage, right?

Yet Su Yu actually just gave a faint smile.

Su Yu smiled gently and said, "Rest assured, Headmaster. That teacher of mine isn't that easy to fall."

"What do you mean? You mean the Slay Dragon King hasn't fallen? Where is he now?"

Zhao Tianxing said in pleasant surprise.

If the Slay Dragon King had not fallen, as long as the Slay Dragon King returned, the Human Race would surely be able to recapture lost territory.

Even when facing the many Emperors of the Myriad Races, they could still hold their own!

Su Yu looked at the excited Zhao Tianxing, signaled him to calm down, and then spoke slowly.

"I can confirm that my teacher did not die, but where my teacher is right now, I don't know either."

Su Yu was telling the truth here.

Although he knew the Slay Dragon King's identity, where the Azure Dragon was right now, Su Yu did not know.

Perhaps his Eldest Senior Brother might know, but he could not see his Eldest Senior Brother at any given time.

"But that's no longer important. With my teacher absent, the Human Race has me, and that's enough!"

Su Yu waved his hand and said softly.

"Headmaster, you said earlier that Mie Long Cheng and Qianlong City have both come under attack from the Myriad Races?"

Zhao Tianxing glanced at Su Yu with suspicion, then nodded.

"In that case, there's no time to lose. Headmaster, you return to Qianlong City first. I'll go reinforce Mie Long Cheng!"

Su Yu slapped his thigh and made the decision outright.

"Can you really do it?"

Zhao Tianxing found it somewhat hard to believe.

Clearly, even now, Zhao Tianxing still had not accepted Su Yu's identity as an Upper Realm envoy.

Zhao Tianxing could not help but glance at the Lord of Slaughter.

The Lord of Slaughter looked at Su Yu, then said, "Since it is the order of an Upper Realm envoy, Zhao Tianxing, you may leave on your own!"

Zhao Tianxing was overjoyed.

"In that case, I'll take my leave first. Su Yu, be careful in all things. If you're no match, you can withdraw. As long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood!"

Zhao Tianxing exhorted Su Yu.

He was afraid that Su Yu would get hot-headed and be killed in a trap by the Myriad Races. Having, with great difficulty, come back to life according to Zhao Tianxing's understanding, Zhao Tianxing did not want to hear news of Su Yu's death again.

Su Yu smiled faintly and said, "Rest easy, Headmaster. Perhaps I'll join you at Qianlong City!"

Zhao Tianxing only heard the first half. He didn't even catch the second half before he hurriedly left for Qianlong City.

If he had heard it, he would certainly have said Su Yu was talking big again.

Watching Zhao Tianxing leave, Su Yu's gaze slowly fell upon the Lord of Slaughter.

"I never understood before why the City of Slaughter could become a neutral faction on the Myriad Races Continent. Later, I found out."

"So the Blade Hall is the force from the Outer Heaven that has been backing you."

""

Su Yu looked deeply at the Lord of Slaughter.

The Lord of Slaughter's body trembled slightly, and he said, "What the Envoy says is true!"

"City of Slaughter... keep maintaining it as before!"

Su Yu glanced around, then calmly left behind these words, directly tore through the void, and disappeared within the City of Slaughter.

He was heading to... Mie Long Cheng!

Only after watching Su Yu leave did that powerful oppressive feeling between heaven and earth slowly dissipate.

Zhao Tianxing might not have felt it—after all, Su Yu had not directed it at Zhao Tianxing.

But the Lord of Slaughter could truly and clearly sense that terrifying oppressive feeling.

The Lord of Slaughter was at the Great Dao Realm, and had cultivated his Great Dao to a level of two hundred thousand li—absolutely a top-tier existence across the entire Myriad Races Continent.

Yet the Lord of Slaughter had a feeling: as long as Su Yu wanted to, he could crush him to death at any time.

"My Lord, Su Yu has become an Envoy of the Upper Realm. Why does this feel so fantastical to me?"

"Once Su Yu returns, he will certainly help the Human Race. When the landscape of the Myriad Races Continent changes, how should we report to those above?"

At this time, a Marquis of the City of Slaughter stepped forward and asked.

The Lord of Slaughter gave him a calm glance. "Fantastical? What's so fantastical about it? We're only responsible for guarding the Myriad Races Continent. As long as we don't interfere, that's enough."

"As for reporting..."

The Lord of Slaughter gave a cold laugh.

"Su Yu is the Envoy of the Upper Realm. Even if there's a report to make, it would be reported to Su Yu. Is there any need?"

That person gave an awkward smile and retreated.

The Lord of Slaughter slowly looked toward the direction of the Myriad Races Battlefield.

"Now... the Myriad Races have provoked someone they shouldn't have provoked!"

"The world from now on... will belong to the Human Race!"

Myriad Races Battlefield, Mie Long Cheng!

Rumble!!!

Endless roars resounded across the entire battlefield.

High above the firmament, a middle-aged man was bathed in flames. Behind him, the phantom of a fire-bathed lion flickered between heaven and earth.

Coiled around the lion's body was a ferocious Great Dao.

A full hundred thousand li long!

"Heavenly Sword King! The Slay Dragon King has already fallen—will you still not surrender?"

The middle-aged man let out a explosive shout, his voice like heavenly thunder rolling forth.

This person was none other than one of the newly advanced Emperors of the Myriad Races—the Lion Emperor!

The Lion Emperor grasped a fourth-grade Great Dao—the Crimson Flame Great Dao.

The hundred-thousand-li Great Dao stretched across heaven and earth, releasing a scorching temperature.

Even the earth itself began to crack.

Boom boom boom!!!

Three figures were fiercely blasted down.

They crashed into the earth.

They were none other than the Heavenly Sword King, the Heaven Tyrant King, and the Mad King.

"Damn it! With the Lion Emperor here, we're no match!"

The Mad King let out a low roar, his heart filled with endless unwillingness.

After so much time had passed, the Mad King had also advanced to the realm of a Three-Step Marquis—a speed that was already extremely fast.

But compared to a powerhouse at the Great Dao Realm, a Three-Step Marquis was no different from a One-Step Marquis.

The Heaven Tyrant King's expression was dark as he said in a deep voice.

"Even if we die, we will not retreat half a step!"

"The Slay Dragon Army only dies in battle—it never flees from the front lines!"

The Heavenly Sword King leaned on his blade, propping himself up so he could stand.

At this moment, the golden armor on all three of them had shattered, and blood gushed from their wounds, soaking their entire bodies.

The Heavenly Sword King gritted his teeth and slowly raised the blade in his hand high.

"Slay Dragon Army, heed my command!"

"Here!"

Behind them, within Mie Long Cheng, countless soldiers of the Slay Dragon Army clad in black armor and silver armor soared into the air one after another, letting out furious roars.

The sound waves spread, surging across tens of thousands of li!

A trace of ruthlessness flashed across the Heavenly Sword King's face.

"Shattered Jade!"

The Heavenly Sword King bellowed, and terrifying storms erupted from his entire body as the Heavenly Sword Domain opened in an instant.

He charged back onto the battlefield.

"There are only Slay Dragon Army soldiers who die in battle—there are no Slay Dragon Army soldiers who retreat!"

The Heaven Tyrant King also roared, opening his Heaven Tyrant Domain as he charged alongside the Heavenly Sword King toward the Lion Emperor.

"Hahahaha! Today, I'm going to fight to my heart's content!"

The Mad King's fists slammed together, bursting forth a surging wave.

"Er Langs, follow me to kill the enemy!"

The Mad King laughed, took a step forward, directly sought out a Lion Tribe's enfeoffed king, and killed him.

"Kill!!!!"

Each Slay Dragon Army soldier shouted at the top of their lungs, waving their weapons, like a swarm of locusts, madly surging forth.

Charged into the battlefield.

"Hmph!"

The Lion Emperor bathed in flames.

"Today... Mie Long Cheng will become history!"
