Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1404: Harvest (2)

Meanwhile, Su Yu was already inside the left nostril. The moment he stepped in, he saw numerous trees. Some were large and some were small. His surroundings were devoid of people. Most people would be deeper inside the gorge.

Su Yu looked around and saw that some of the dragonbind trees had been uprooted from the ground while some had been cut off. Cutting and pulling nasal hair were entirely different concepts. With one glance, Su Yu understood many things.

Things were much less dangerous when one was merely cutting down these trees. But unrooting these trees...could be dangerous.

"If this is a nose, it will breathe. Thus, there will be violent storms here every now and then. Things will get a lot more dangerous then."

Su Yu muttered, "A circulation takes ten years to complete. How many breaths do I take for each circulation? The ratio would be..." freewebnσvel.cøm

He did not know the grand cycle cultivation method. But he could estimate the time it took for a complete circulation since he had opened 360 acupoints himself. It would require roughly a day. At his cultivation level, he would only take a breath every five minutes.

"A breath every twelve days. Each breath of mine takes around ten seconds. Thus, each breath here will last around ten hours. How terrifying..."

Su Yu had never been here before, but he could easily predict the dangers he might encounter here. And with enough understanding, what was dangerous would cease being dangerous.

Before long, he encountered someone on the way out of the gorge. It was a devil. When the devil noticed Su Yu, he did not pick a fight. After sensing Su Yu's aura, he took off from the ground with the intention to leave.

However, he found his path blocked by Su Yu. His expression turned cold as he asked, "What are you doing? Since when did the demonic wolves become so brave? Have you forgotten who your masters are?"

The demonic wolves were subordinate to the devils.

Su Yu smiled, "I have a question. Are there more people inside? Is any of them popular? Also, why are you leaving instead of going deeper?"

The expression of the devil changed repeatedly. This wolf was a ninth-stage Cloudbreach.

Meanwhile, he was only a first-stage Cloudbreach. This was the perfect place to kill without suffering any consequences. Thus, he forced himself to calm down and said, "Demonic wolf, don't get too arrogant. Lord Zhan Ta is not far away. If you try anything and end up catching his attention, you're dead."

"Zhan Ta?" Su Yu asked with surprise, "He's here as well?"

That was a name he knew. Zhan Ta, a genius blood fire devil, also an Earth Index genius. As a fifth-stage Mountainsea who was not too young anymore, how did he end up on the first level?

Shouldn't he be on the second or third level instead? That was one of the devils who had entered the Human Realm during the previous crisis. Su Yu had assumed that he was dead. How lucky of him to survive until now. As a fifth-stage Mountainsea who was also an Earth Index genius, he was no pushover.

The devil sneered and said, "Of course Lord Zhan Ta is here. This gorge is the territory of the devils. Piss off or die."

Having said that, he took a few steps backward and added warily, "Also, the astral wind will arrive soon. If you're still here when the astral wind arrives, even a high-stage Cloudbreach like you will be ground into nothingness."

"It's coming?"

Su Yu was surprised to hear that. Clearly, the devils were quite familiar with this place.

The so-called astral wind was most likely generated by the breathing of this nose. It would last for ten hours. But from what this devil was saying, Zhan Ta and the others did not intend to leave during the storm. Rather, they would stay deep in the gorge. How brazen.

Then again, there must be a reason for their confidence. No matter what, Zhan Ta was an Earth Index genius. He should be able to survive this crisis just fine.

Noticing the wary look on the devil's face, Su Yu smiled. With suns and moons revolving in his eyes, he gazed at the devil. First, the devil was alarmed. Then, his expression turned blank. He had been dragged into an illusion.

With a casual swing of Su Yu's hand, the devil was dragged into his book. What a decent harvest. It would be much harder to harvest the divines, devils, and immortals outside the mansion.

"The blood fire devils must have invested a lot into this. Zhan Ta can be considered a top genius as well. This is truly a good harvest."

Su Yu continued moving deeper into the gorge. Occasionally, the nasal hairs would attack him. Naturally, he would cut them down whenever he was attacked. Each time, he would cut down a large swath of nasal hairs. And he was quite impressed by the quality of these nasal hairs.

The quality of these hairs was probably not high enough to forge earth weapons, but they were more than enough to forge profound weapons. More importantly, there were a lot of them.

Su Yu wasn't too interested in forging profound weapons. If these nasal hairs could be used to forge earth weapons as well, he wouldn't mind cutting down more of them. After all, he needed to further improve his Mark of Civilization. That would be a costly endeavor.

After all, he aimed to have ten thousand pages in his book. And according to his plan, each individual page must be an earth weapon. In short, he had to forge ten thousand earth weapons.

Anyone else would probably die from old age before gathering enough materials for that. Fortunately, the Luminous Domain Mansion was filled with treasures. This was most likely the only way he could hope to gather enough materials if he did not intend to rob the Divine, Immortal, and Divine Realms. In fact, he required so many materials that not even robbing the entire Human Realm would be enough.

This weapon of his was very powerful. But it was also very costly to maintain. It was probably costly enough to bankrupt even an Invincible.

Su Yu suspected that the resources required to raise this weapon to a divine weapon would probably be enough to bankrupt dozens of Invincibles. Thank the heavens for the Luminous Domain Mansion. The mansion had truly chosen the perfect timing to reopen.

***

Deep inside the Double Dragon Gorge.

The tall and burly Zhan Ta was staring at a nearby dragonbind tree longingly. He said, "When the astral wind arrives, this tree will be subjected to it. The wind might be strong enough to bring the tree down. If not, that will still be the perfect opportunity to cut it down. This tree is durable enough to be used as a carrier treasure."

The tree in question was a massive, shiny, and golden in color.

It was gently swaying about.

Zhan Ta and the others did not dare to approach it rashly as this tree was capable of killing.

Beside him, a crimson-haired devil said, "Lord Zhan Ta, can we...even cut it down? I believe uprooting it might be easier."

Zhan Ta nodded, "Yes. That will be easier. Getting this tree alone will make our entire journey here worth it. Based on what we know about this place, if a dragonbind wood powerful enough to be used as a carrier treasure appears in one of the gorges, a second dragonbind wood of similar quality will appear in the other gorge. The divines have taken control over the other gorge. We can find a way to deal with them later. Right now, they are probably waiting for the astral wind as well."

A dragonbind wood of this level was strong enough to be forged into heaven weapons. Alternatively, one could directly use it as a carrier treasure. This was why everyone was so obsessed with the Luminous Domain Mansion. Treasures could be found everywhere so long as one had the ability to harvest them.

Furthermore, the mansion seemed incapable of running out of these treasures. After being harvested, they would reappear in the mansion after only a few years.

If Su Yu were told the same, he would say that it was perfectly normal for nasal hair to regrow. Only time was needed.

At the moment, a gentle gust of astral wind appeared.

It came from the depths of the gorge.

The depths were the most dangerous part of the gorge. That was a place most people would avoid going to.

While Zhan Ta was waiting in anticipation, a burst of laughter rang out as someone said, "Looks like you're quite lucky, Zhan Ta."

Alarmed, Zhan Ta turned around and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

This was no demonic wolf. A real ninth-stage Cloudbreach wolf would never dare to be so impudent before him.

"Langtu."

With a grin, Su Yu studied the area. He noted that quite a lot of nasal hairs in the area had been harvested by the group of devils. Ahead of them, a massive golden hair stood. Even Su Yu was shaken by the sight of that majestic nasal hair.

No wonder these devils were refusing to leave. The admiration Su Yu held for the person who had constructed the mansion never stopped growing. Were the nasal hairs here really inexhaustible?

That was...a truly terrifying concept. That was the same as having an inexhaustible supply of carrier treasure.

Then again, these treasures would probably require a lot of source qi or some other source of power to grow. Someone capable of building such a mansion. Someone capable of creating renewable carrier treasures. Just what manner of a person was that?

Su Yu did not bother to say much. Instantly, a book soared into the air before dropping down upon the group of devils. Zhan Ta was already on high alert when Su Yu appeared.

The moment the book appeared, he roared and enlarged. With an axe in hand, he sent an attack straight toward Su Yu's head. As an index genius, Zhan Ta was no pushover. Most seventh-stage Mountainseas would not surpass a hundred thousand acupoints in strength.

Meanwhile, Zhan Ta was pushing three hundred thousand acupoints in strength. He was strong enough to face even peak Mountainseas. The attack did not bother Su Yu. He had nothing to fear from Zhan Ta. He only needed to watch out for any potential trump cards Zhan Ta might be hiding.

One could never be too careful, after all. Sure enough, his caution paid off. Through his newly enhanced eyes, he saw something sealed within Zhan Ta's body.

When he focused, he saw a drop of blood essence. That was not an Invincible blood essence. Rather, it came from a ninth-stage Sunmoon.

Su Yu exhaled in relief.

True. The blood essence of Invincibles was too rare. Meanwhile, ninth-stage Sunmoon blood essence was much easier to obtain, especially when one was an Invincible. Sure enough, none of these index geniuses could be underestimated.

"Merely a drop of blood essence."

Sure, ninth-stage Sunmoons were strong. But Su Yu could still handle a mere drop of blood essence. However, it would be better for him to preserve that drop of blood essence.

In that case, he couldn't give Zhan Ta the opportunity to use it. This called for an instant kill. At that thought, a hammer appeared noiselessly. Formed by more than ten characters, it descended upon Zhan Ta.

Triggered by his intuition, Zhan Ta looked up instinctively. Instantly, he paled as he roared, "Su—"

Boom!

The hammer struck, knocking him unconscious. Then, the book dropped down and covered him. At the exact moment, Su Yu reached out, stabbed through Zhan Ta's chest, and plucked the drop of blood essence from Zhan Ta's heart. The drop of blood essence pulsed, intending to resist, but it was completely suppressed by a single roar from Su Yu.

"Be good now."

Su Yu smiled as the book started dragging Zhan Ta into it. At that moment, a clump of multicolored cloud dropped down from the sky.

A heavenly reward.
