Tribulation of Myriad Races

"Will fully opening the yang acupoint kill me?"

While cultivating, Su Yu continued thinking of ways to get out of this predicament and gain more strength. He was unsure of what would happen if he opened his yang acupoint fully. But he knew that fully opening it would grant him a massive boost in strength.

Apart from Bai Tianhao, someone else in the Bai Family seemed to have done so as well. It was very likely that the second person was Bai Feng's grandfather. He might still be alive, but his physical body had probably reached near full destruction.

As a warrior, his body was very important to him. With the destruction of his body, he would either die or turn into a cripple. It was likely that he had been trying to make a last-ditch effort to resolve this issue once and for all.

It would be inaccurate to say that Bai Tianhao was a super genius unrivaled in talent. But even someone of a relatively regular level of talent like him could kill a seventh-stage Mountainssea as a Cloudbreach after opening his yang acupoint. One could only imagine how much strength a fully opened yang acupoint would grant.

Back when the incident happened, Bai Tianhao was already a ninth-stage Cloudbreach. But his actual combat strength was probably still lower than Su Yu's current combat strength. His original strength wouldn't be too excessive. Su Yu had opened a lot more acupoints than Bai Tianhao.

"Yang acupoint..."

Su Yu inhaled deeply. What a pity that he still lacked the yin aperture. With the yin aperture, he might be able to freely open and shut the yang acupoint. This was such a troublesome issue.

"Maybe the yang acupoint will straight up double my combat strength."

What would happen if he opened the yang acupoint after consuming a drop of third-stage Mountainsea blood essence?

"The yang acupoint needs to be sustained with an excessively large amount of source qi. Will the Mountainsea blood essence allow me to keep it under control for a short period of time? Can heavenly source qi satisfy the yang acupoint's hunger?"

Su Yu was tempted to open the yang acupoint. If heavenly source qi was enough to sustain it, he really wanted to give it a try. At worst, he would lose his body and recultivate his body from scratch.

"Open the yang acupoint..."

The same thought emerged in his mind repeatedly. If Bai Tianhao could kill a seventh-stage Mountainsea as a ninth-stage Cloudbreach after opening the yang acupoint, what level of enemy could he kill after consuming Mountainsea blood essence and opening the yang acupoint? Would he be strong enough to kill Final Armor?

"Just where is the damn yin aperture? Will killing Dao Cheng reveal more apertures to me and allow me to locate the yin aperture?"

Numerous thoughts emerged in his mind. Ultimately, everything could be simplified to a single word: kill.

Su Yu had never thought of fleeing. Even if he had to flee, this was still not the time for it. He had entered the Allheaven Battlefield to strengthen himself, to avoid all the silent suppression on him, and to follow his heart.

His martial uncle and grandteacher had spent a lifetime enduring. He was not capable of that. He had witnessed with his own eyes how miserable they were even after enduring so much.

Thus, he had decided to walk a different path. He would not endure. He would kill. Strike fear into everyone's heart through slaughter.

His killing intent surged and rippled outward from him. It was extremely intense.

It wouldn't be a mistake to say that Su Yu was the most murderous member of the multiple character faction to date. Not even Hong Tan was as murderous as him. Apart from those close to him, he did not care about anyone else. Even when Dao Cheng tried to threaten him with the other humans in the city, he had remained completely indifferent.

Whatever. Dao Cheng must be dreaming. If a few hostages could force a genius to surrender, the human Invincibles would have been all dead long ago.

Once again, Su Yu spoke to the furball, "I was merely scaring you when I said that. When my body falls apart, remember to run with my sea of willpower. I will rise again in the future. Don't even dream of trying to eat my sea of willpower. You know very well that you're still not strong enough for that."

"Yeah, yeah." The little furball asked, "Can't we defeat those baddies?"

"No. Not yet." Su Yu smiled, "It's fine. Before long, I'll be strong enough. It would be great if I could kill Final Armor as well. That way, the heavenly reward might reward me with some good stuff to stabilize my body."

That was the ideal situation. When his body was on the verge of total collapse, the heavenly reward would be very helpful. In that situation, the best heavenly reward to get was the heavenearth profound light.

This...was perhaps a risk worth taking. He would gamble on the heavenly reward by killing enough people to generate something helpful.

If the heavenly reward from one kill wasn't suitable, he simply needed to kill two. If even that wasn't enough, he could kill three, or four, or even more. There weren't a lot of varieties in the heavenly rewards. It was only a matter of time before he rolled the dice correctly and received what he wanted.

"But...are death spirits actual living beings?"

Su Yu muttered doubtfully. Could he get blood essence from death spirits? If he could...holy shit. Would their blood essence grant him the ability to release death qi? The death spirits he had seen thus far weren't really that strong, but even a mere Skysoar death spirit could pose endless troubles to a Mountainsea.

"Death spirits..."

Su Yu's eyes flickered as he took out the index copy and wrote on it, "I want to buy some death spirit blood essence."

"..."

Inside the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion.

The masked man looked at the faceless elder again and grudgingly said, "Elder, Su Yu is suddenly asking to purchase some death spirit blood essence. When I checked the database, I couldn't find anything. Do we have something like that in stock?"

"..."

Once again, the faceless elder walked over and checked the chat history. With a frown, he said, "Death spirit blood essence can't be consumed. Is that brat trying to produce some ability blood essence out of it? Or is he going to use it as death qi?"

After a short silence, he said, "Even death spirits can produce blood essence. But upon consumption, a large amount of death qi will be produced inside one's body. The body will rot away and one's life force will wither into nothingness. Generally, people only use this thing to produce death qi bombs. If this brat ended up killing himself from consuming death spirit blood essence, that would be the greatest joke in the world."

"Do we sell him the product, then?"

"Explain things clearly to him and agree to sell. But this won't be cheap. Death spirits aren't easy to kill. They are also very good at holding a grudge. Just killing one of them will attract the attention of all the other death spirits. For a drop of Skysoar death spirit blood essence, he needs to pay five thousand merit points of the Human Realm."

How greedy. That was the masked man's thought. Yes. Even an employee of the Heavenly Hunt Pavillion couldn't resist thinking that the Heavenly Hunt Pavillion was too greedy. Even the blood essence of divines and devils were only worth about a thousand or two per drop.

But they were actually charging five thousand merit points for only one drop of death spirit blood essence. Was the elder trying to squeeze Su Yu dry? Perhaps the elder was trying to earn as much as he could from Su Yu before Su Yu was dead?

"Elder, Skysoar blood essence might not be good enough for him. Do we have anything stronger than that?"

"Yes. We can provide even Cloudbreach and Mountainsea death spirit blood essence. But we don't have that much supply of Mountainsea blood essence. For each increase in level, the price will increase by ten times."

The masked man was stunned. In short, they were charging fifty thousand for a drop of Cloudbreach blood essence and five hundred thousand for a drop of Mountainsea blood essence. That was even more expensive than the blood essence of first divines and original devils.

"Five hundred thousand per drop of Mountainsea blood essence?"

The masked man clarified. He looked at his elder in amazement. How thick must one's face be to quote such an outrageous price? Killing a single Mountainsea would produce ten drops of blood essence. In short, they could earn five million per Mountainsea death spirit?

The faceless elder nonchalantly said, "Don't look at me like that. A Mountainsea death spirit is exceptionally hard to kill. Also, killing even one of them might spawn a Sunmoon death spirit. When something like that appears, even a ninth-stage Sunmoon will be in great trouble. Over the years, very few Sunmoon death spirits have actually died. The most recent case was the one Xia Longwu killed back then. After that battle, he was forced to withdraw from the ancient city carrying heavy injuries."

"But isn't that price a tad bit too high?"

"The human merit points are simply too weak as a currency." The elder said, "He can also trade for the blood essence with other things. The price will depend on what he can offer us. As merchants, we naturally need to earn as much as we can from our customers. Su Yu is wealthy enough to afford our prices. He's different from the other young geniuses who can only derive support from their backers and families. He himself is incredibly wealthy thanks to all the cultivation methods he sold in the Human Realm."

"I understand."

"..."

***

At the same time.

Su Yu received a reply. He grew excited despite the quoted price. In fact, he was completely ignoring the price.

"So can the death spirits be considered a race as well?"

Su Yu muttered doubtfully. Would he activate a new page in his book with their blood essence? Had they even appeared in his nightmares before? Would he die from consuming their blood essence?

"Furball, will you die after consuming some death spirit blood essence?"

The furball was getting more and more annoyed. With his baby voice, he said, "Yummy, please! Don't wanna eat! They smell bad. Their blood will smell even worse!"

Su Yu rolled his eyes. Why was the furball speaking like he didn't have a nose as well? Just picturing the look of those death spirits made him wonder if he could bring himself to consume their blood essence.

If he consumed a drop of death spirit blood essence only to find that his book couldn't process it, he would be in great trouble. He would probably be forced to use a large amount of heavenly source qi to counter the effects of that. Perhaps he could start with a drop of Skysoar blood essence. That way, he could recover much easier if things went south.

It definitely wouldn't be a good idea to start with Mountainsea blood essence. That could wait until he was sure that his book could process death spirit blood essence as well. But the price was too high.

"What a bullshit price."

Five hundred thousand per drop? Screw that. That was enough money to even hire assassins capable of killing Sunmoons.

"I have one, no, two divine corpses. One of them is Lei Jue and the other is a six-winged divine. I also have the corpses of numerous geniuses from various races. I also have a pile of random treasures and three ancient city medallions. I am offering all that for five drops of Skysoar blood essence, five drops of Cloudbreach blood essence, and a hundred drops of early Mountainsea blood essence. Take note that I'm talking about death spirit blood essence."
