Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1266: Eat You (2)

One might even be able to enjoy the benefits of their body transformation without paying the ultimate price of losing the body to the Pseudo Emperor. After all, each tri-life body of a Pseudo Emperor was a body of exceptional strength. It made no sense to abandon such a body unless one was left with no choice.

Thus, very few geniuses had actually lost their bodies to the Pseudo Emperors in history. Instead, the number of geniuses who had enjoyed the benefits of transformation before eventually advancing into the Invincible Realm was much higher.

That was why young geniuses like Xuan Wuji, Zhan Wushuang, and others had willingly accepted their body transformations even when they were aware of the risk. For them, this was also a form of fortune.

As Mo Duona sank into silence, his aura grew even stronger than before. The process of entering the Mountainsea Realm through physical cultivation was the same for all races.

Acupoint fusion.

Generally, a warrior would be left with nine acupoints after reaching the Skysoar or Cloudbreach Realm. All the basic acupoints would be fused until only nine were left. At the Mountainsea Realm, one would start fusing the nine remaining acupoints.

When nine became one, one would become a Sunmoon. As a Sunmoon, one would start strengthening the sole remaining acupoint.

For a warrior, every stage of cultivation involved the strengthening of their body. Body forging, acupoint fusion, source qi transformation, and acupoint strengthening. All these were merely preparations for the eventual dao affirmation.

The stronger the acupoints were, the stronger the body would be. And only with a strong body would one be able to rip reality apart and enter the River of Time in search of the past and future bodies. Only then would one be able to fuse the past, present, and future. Without a strong enough body, the fusion with the past and future would merely result in the destruction of the present.

This was the path of warriors. As for the path of cultural researchers, there weren't much records among humanity. Or to be precise, the records only showed a path to the Sunmoon Realm. Beyond that, no record could be found.

For modern humanity, warriors and cultural researchers alike would follow the path of warriors upon reaching the ninth-stage Sunmoon Realm.

Su Yu continued observing Mo Duona's breakthrough in silence. His physical cultivation might seem far from the Mountainsea Realm but it really wasn't that far away. Thus, it wouldn't be a bad idea to observe the breakthrough of others and learn from it. This was especially true when the person breaking through was a super genius like Mo Duona.

From how powerful Mo Duona's body felt, Su Yu guessed that he had completed at least forty-five body forgings. His source qi was also absurdly high in quality, a result of his nine transformations during the Cloudbreach Realm.

Only at such a moment did Su Yu get a glimpse at just how powerful Mo Duona's acupoints were. In fact, Su Yu couldn't recall seeing Mo Duona fighting seriously even once. Now, he could see that Mo Duona had the strength of at least 300,000 acupoints.

With a successful breakthrough, he could probably surpass the strength of 500,000 acupoints. That was already the level of a regular first-stage Sunmoon from the devil race. With that strength, he could probably kill a group of minor race Sunmoons alone.

That was quite terrifying. But far less terrifying than a monstrous freak like Su Yu.

Like Su Yu, the other Invincibles were also observing the breakthrough. Some of them had unnatural expressions on their faces. They had to admit that this young devil genius was indeed strong.

They could feel that he was already strong enough to fight Sunmoons. Upon his breakthrough, he would most likely surpass the likes of Zhan Wushuang and Xuan Wuji. And those people were already late-stage Mountainseas.

Of course, Zhan Wushuang was currently still in the little furball's stomach. Everyone was too occupied to care about his fate. Even Invincibles had died today, so nobody would spare much thought for a young genius like him.

Boom!

As the world shook, nine blinding acupoints became visible. Two of them started coming together.

Slowly, they became one. A storm raged around Mo Duona as devil qi flooded the area. Numerous clouds appeared in the sky, some carrying heavenly source qi and some carrying heavenearth profound light.

As of this moment, Mo Duona seemed even more talented than Xia Longwu.

When Xia Longwu had broken through into the Mountainsea Realm all those years ago, he had only generated a rain of source qi. Then again, Xia Longwu was rumored to have broken through in the Human Realm. Thus, the comparison was unfair since Mo Duona was doing it in the Allheaven Battlefield, a place known to be biased toward young geniuses.

As Mo Duona's body transformed, the flame symbol on his forehead burned. At the same time, tiny flashes of lightning appeared in the sky for a short moment before vanishing.

Suddenly, Grandstar appeared beside Su Yu. Or to be precise, Su Yu was suddenly brought back to Grandstar's side. While looking at the sky, Grandstar said, "This is truly an outstanding genius. Did you notice the lightning in the sky?"

"Yeah." Grandstar continued, "If he’s producing something like this when he's only breaking through into the Mountainsea Realm, he will definitely produce something bigger during his breakthrough into the Sunmoon Realm. And when he attempts his dao affirmation, he might even encounter the tribulation of the laws. Surviving the tribulation will take him far beyond the level of a regular breakthrough. Nobody has been able to reach this level since the ancient past."

Su Yu remarked in astonishment, "Tribulation? Lightning? There was some lightning during my advancement into the Skysoar Realm as well. In fact, mine was stronger. I was even struck by a bolt of lightning during my breakthrough. Are you saying that I'll encounter more when my body reaches the Cloudbreach Realm?"

Grandstar abruptly shut his mouth.

It seemed unwise of him to talk about this with a super freak like this.

He would rather talk to Xing Yue.

How boring.

Su Yu was such a boring person. He had this annoying habit of talking about himself whenever they talked about these topics. He was making it very hard for someone to brag in front of him. This felt similar to praising someone who had earned five figures in a day in front of a billionaire.

Grandstar only wanted to praise Mo Duona for producing a tiny bit of lightning during a breakthrough into the Mountainsea Realm, but Su Yu just had to point out that he had produced a stronger lightning phenomenon during his breakthrough into the Skysoar Realm. He was even struck by a bolt of lightning during that time.

Su Yu's curiosity was piqued so he asked, "Lord, is the ancient past a lot more glorious than the present time?"

He was quite curious about the ancient past, and he was also curious about the supposed collapse of the ancient civilization. What happened to all those ancient experts? Were they all dead? In that case, how did these stone statues survive?

Grandstar said, "Glorious...I guess it depends on your perspective. I can only say that the environment was different. Back then, cultivation was much easier. The present Human Realm is severely lacking in source qi. Back then, the Human Realm had so much source qi that source qi rain would frequently fall due to overabundance. Such an environment makes cultivation a lot easier than now."

Su Yu was speechless. That...sounded like an exaggeration.

"Why did the ancient civilization collapse, then?" Su Yu asked.

At that question, Grandstar sank into silence. After a long while, he said, "Don't ask me about that. I don't know much. During the collapse, we were already guarding these tunnels."

Su Yu exhaled and asked, "So the death spirits weren't the reason for the collapse? I had thought that the ancient past was destroyed by the death spirits. So that's not the case..."

That was indeed one of his speculations. As far as he was concerned, the Death Realm was a terrifying faction. Nobody knew just how many death sovereigns there were down there. It was possible for anyone to become a death spirit after dying. But according to Grandstar, they were already guardians before the ancient collapse.

"Lord, under whose order were the guardians deployed to the tunnels back then? Was it the ancient Human Emperor?"

Who could command these super experts? They were too strong to be commanded by even a Pseudo Emperor. After all, this was no easy task.

Grandstar replied with a question, "What do you think?"

"I think...you might be a great general serving under the ancient Human Emperor. In that case, we're family..."

"..."

Grandstar laughed in amusement. That was quite a big stretch. How would that make them family?

"No. We're not the subordinates of the ancient Human Emperor."

Grandstar said, "Forget it. The past is the past. There is no need to talk about it. The ancient Human Emperor you mentioned...did exist in the past. But that doesn't mean that he is the one and only in the Myriad Realms."

Su Yu asked in surprise, "Are there other ancient Emperors in the other races? I thought there was only one ancient Emperor in existence?"

"You don't understand..."

Not wanting to continue the topic, Grandstar vanished.

Su Yu was returned to his previous spot.

At that point, the blood in Mo Duona's body was surging violently as the phenomenon around him grew bigger and bigger. He was going to complete his advancement. It wasn't supposed to be so fast, but the possession of the Devil Pseudo Emperor had helped with the breakthrough.

In truth, the transformation of his body would be a boon if the Devil Pseudo Emperor wasn't doing it to take over his body in the future.

Rumble!

As his life force surged, Mo Duona absorbed the heavenly rewards around him. Then, his aura rose massively, bringing him into the Mountainsea Realm. With his advancement, the connection between his body and the Devil Pseudo Emperor's body grew wider, allowing the Devil Pseudo Emperor to send more strength to his body.

In mere moments, Mo Duona's aura rose from the Mountainsea Realm to the Invincible Realm. The Pseudo Emperor had taken over the body yet again after the advancement. The look in Mo Duona's eyes changed as well, making it clear that a different person was in control of the body now.

The Pseudo Emperor smiled as he looked at the city and Su Yu. Then, a drop of blood essence appeared in his hand again. He set it aflame, causing Mo Duona's body to shake, as he started summoning Yanmo over again.
