Tribulation of Myriad Races
Chapter 1013: Everything Is Ready, Auction Begins (1)Topsoil Spirit's voice could be heard inside the building.
Su Yu was overjoyed. This was the biggest weakness of his plan. After dealing with Topsoil Spirit, he would no longer have any other worries apart from the arrival of Invincibles. But Invincibles did not tend to appear on Ninestar Island unless something massive was happening.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Su Yu knocked on the door. Inside, Topsoil Spirit grew more and more irritated. Again? Was there no end to this?
"Who is this? What are you doing? Are you trying to die?"
He roared in annoyance. With his golden sword in hand, he wondered if he should let this unknown person taste the tip of his blade.
Killing inside an ancient city was not the smart thing to do, even for Sunmoons. Thus, he did not wish to do so unless absolutely necessary. But someone was knocking on his door. And that was rather terrifying as at the end of the day, this was still a city of the dead.
Su Yu stopped knocking. Instead, he took an ancient city medallion out. He had a decent number of medallions, but the best among them was only enough to open the doors in the sixteenth ring.
Fortunately, Topsoil Spirit had decided to hide in the sixteenth ring. Since that fellow was refusing to open the door, he would open it himself. Trapped in the building, he would be able to do anything he wanted to Topsoil Spirit. He proceeded to send some death qi into the medallion, creating a small opening on the incorporeal barrier around the building. Inside, Topsoil Spirit's sense of crisis intensified.
Even though Su Yu was constantly keeping his calm character active, he couldn't prevent Topsoil Spirit from feeling greatly threatened. He continued gathering power in the sword he was holding.And when he noticed the door moving, he shouted, "Who are you? Are you courting death? Can you withstand the attack of an Invincible?"
Fuck!
Someone was attempting to open his door with force. In that case, the person outside would either be a strong death spirit or someone with a high-level medallion. However, Su Yu suddenly slowed down as he thought of a new idea. Perhaps...this would be a good chance for him to get another one of the five elemental treasures from Topsoil Spirit? But he was worried that he wouldn't be able to withstand the attack. It should be fine, right?
His Five Elemental Art was pretty strong, and it had the same origin as Topsoil Spirit's treasures. And he already used it once to consume Topsoil Spirit's wooden stake before. It should probably work this time as well. But he was still worried because the distance between them was too short. He might not be able to fully absorb the attack before it started damaging him.
But after a short hesitation, he steeled himself. Either way, he had to enter this building.
He reminded the little furball, "If I fail to absorb the incoming attack, help me out. That attack can be considered willpower as well. You can eat it as well. Do you understand?"
"Smells nice...but feels dangerous..."
The little furball murmured. The thing beyond the door smelled great, but it also felt very dangerous. That was why he hadn't dared to eat anything when Su Yu absorbed the wooden stake previously.
"Do you need any other reason? If it smells good, just eat it. Dying while stuffing yummy food down your throat is better than dying to an attack, right?"
The little furball's face turned pensive as he nodded his entire body in agreement. Yes. That was a perfectly logical argument.
And with that, Su Yu continued opening the door. Eventually, the door swung slightly open. Right at that moment, a powerful attack burst out of the tiny opening. Topsoil Spirit was unwilling to waste his sword yet, so he was trying to attack with a random water attack. ṘαŊȰꞖƐŞ
Su Yu ended his death spirit transformation and pushed the door fully open before throwing a punch forward.
Boom!
At almost the same moment, he stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Finally, they were both trapped in the same room. He was very familiar with this. After all, this was what he had done to some of his victims in Heavendoom City.
Instantly, Topsoil Spirit unleashed his Five Element Purgatory. The familiar five elemental cage reappeared around the intruder. This intruder felt very strong, but not too strong for him to handle. The moment he trapped the intruder in his cage, he recognized who the intruder was.
"Tianduo..."
No. Something wasn't right.
With the intense devilish qi, the intruder resembled Tianduo. But as an elemental who had fought Su Yu before, he was able to quickly determine the identity of this intruder. He cried out in alarm, "Su Yu!"
Holy shit!
It was this fellow! How did this fellow find him? He pulled his sword out unhesitatingly. Su Yu's eyes sparkled upon seeing that. But next, a tiny clump of fire appeared, followed by a clump of soil. These were all the unique talismans Topsoil Spirit had received from his ancestors.
Su Yu's excitement turned into wariness. Holy shit! Had this guy gone mad? Why was this guy using all those things at the same time? Sure, it wasn't like he had not considered this possibility. He had no choice but to take out his countermeasure. A powerful corpse appeared before him.
Yes. He was using the eighth-stage Sunmoon corpse as the shield. The Sunmoon might be dead, but this was still the corpse of a super expert. It was probably good enough to withstand an attack or two for him. In fact, this corpse was much more durable than even some regular earth weapons.
The moment the corpse appeared, a heavy pressure descended upon Topsoil Spirit, giving him the urge to drop to his knees. Fear gripped his heart.
Holy shit!
What the fuck was this?
He aimed all his trump cards at Su Yu and shouted, "What do you want? Do you want to die that much? Do you think a mere corpse can stop me?"
Su Yu frowned. After a short silence, he said, "Why did you take all those things out together instead of using them one by one?"
"..."
What the fuck was that? Topsoil Spirit cursed inwardly. He was no fool. After losing his wooden stake to this fellow previously, would he still use only one of these treasures when he knew who he was facing? What if the same thing happened?
After checking to make sure that all three of his trump cards were still aimed at Su Yu, he said, "Even with this corpse, it won't be able to stop more than two of my talismans. And apart from these three, I have one more to spare. Are you sure you can survive my final talisman? Su Yu, do you really want to pursue a path of mutual destruction?"
After his previous encounter with Su Yu, he was left with only four of these talismans. Naturally, he was unwilling to exhaust all of them for this one encounter. He wasn't even sure if he could kill Su Yu with all four of them.
Su Yu was simply too unique an opponent. This fellow wasn't too crazy in terms of strength, but somehow, this fellow was capable of countering his talismans. Or to be precise, this fellow was capable of absorbing his talismans.
Topsoil Spirit really didn't know what to say about that. Were Su Yu's five elemental characters really so special? Topsoil Spirit found himself in a very difficult situation. But that was also the case for Su Yu. This damn fellow was not using the five elemental talismans one by one. That would complicate things.
Taking great care to ensure the corpse remain in front of him, Su Yu smiled and said, "Topsoil Spirit, let's talk. I will stop bothering you if you give me two of them."
"..."
"Su Yu, do you think I'm stupid?"
Topsoil Spirit wanted to ask if he really looked so dumb. Also, why in the world was this fellow pretending to be Tianduo? Standing less than ten meters from each other, the two were in a stand-off. Su Yu was wary of Topsoil Spirit's talismans while Topsoil Spirit was wary of failing to kill Su Yu even after exhausting his talismans. Both hesitated to move.
Inside his sea of willpower, Su Yu asked, "Furball, can you eat one of them?"
If the furball could eat even one of them, Su Yu would have a much bigger confidence to deal with Topsoil Spirit.
"Will burst apart!"
The little furball refused. That was too powerful.
Su Yu felt very helpless. Why was this ancient race so useless?
"Silently eat all his willpower. He needs willpower to activate those talismans. Without his willpower, he won't be able to do anything..."
No talisman could activate by itself. Manual activation with willpower was necessary. Perhaps the little furball could help him in this manner. The little furball considered the solution and thought that it was worth trying.
Eat his willpower! No, eating only the willpower surrounding those talismans would be enough!
Su Yu said, "Just eat the willpower around those talismans. Make it so that he can't instantaneously activate them. Move fast and we can deal with him together."
"Okay."
The little furball decided to take this risk. If he succeeded in this gamble, he would be able to dine on the finest of food! With that, the human and furball reached an agreement.
Su Yu opened his mouth, "Relax, Topsoil Spirit. There is no guarantee that you'll be able to kill me. And I'm also not confident I can handle you. I'm only here to discuss something with you."
"I'm not interested. Leave." Topsoil Spirit remained wary, "I already contacted the Invincibles of my race. They will be here soon. Don't try anything stupid, Su Yu!"
Su Yu smiled, "This is an ancient city."
Even during the previous incident, all those Invincibles had not dared to enter the ancient city. According to what he heard, they had only stayed outside the city. This was an ineffective threat.
Topsoil Spirit gloomily said, "Just why are you targetting me? What do you want from me?"
"I want to work with you."
"Work with me?"
"Yes. You see, I'm trying to trap Mo Duona and kill him. I need your help."
Nonsense! Topsoil Spirit had the urge to cough some blood. What bullshit was that? Then again, if this fellow still had more of Ye Batian's characters, that might really be doable. But why in the world would he even want to do that? Was there a big grudge between this fellow and Mo Duona?
Most of the time, geniuses would only rely on their actual ability to kill their fellow geniuses. Using external power to do so was pointless as each genius could draw on external power from all sorts of sources in spades if they really wanted to.
Even if Su Yu managed to kill Mo Duona with Ye Batian's character, what was the point? The heavenly reward wouldn't be as good, and he would even provoke the devil Invincibles to move out against him. While the two were conversing, the little furball moved out noiselessly.
Suddenly, Topsoil Spirit's heart skipped a beat. He roared and attempted to activate his talismans without any hesitation. He had a very sharp intuition toward danger. The moment the little furball moved, he sensed the incoming danger. Even though he didn't know what the danger was, he knew something was coming.
Whoosh!
An incomparably sharp sword qi appeared, followed by a wave of violent flames…
But when Topsoil Spirit tried to activate the lump of soil, he was alarmed. Activation had failed! Fear gripped his heart as the water talisman in his sea of willpower pulsed and shrouded him in a layer of water. Next, he threw a punch, blasting the little furball out into reality.
Finally, the lump of soil activated and transformed into a patch of yellow soil. In an extremely helpless manner, Topsoil Spirit dove into the patch of soil.
Soil and water combined.
Meanwhile, Su Yu was too busy to care about that. With his Five Elemental Art and the physical strength of an eighth-stage Mountainsea, he blocked part of the attack. His entire body lit aflame from the attack he failed to block. With a roar, he released a large amount of heavenly source qi.
He started regrowing his flesh rapidly, attempting to outgrow the rate his body was being damaged. He also forcefully absorbed a part of the sword qi. The absorbed sword qi was going crazy in his sea of willpower.
