Chapter 1031: Gathering Of Invincibles (1)
Inside an inner ring building.
With his path out through the moat severed and no way to enter the mayor's residence, Su Yu had decided to hide inside a building a cultivate. Every tiny bit of increase in strength would make it easier for him to kill death spirits.
And if he could get some Sunmoon death spirits killed, he might even be able to cause Invincible death spirits to appear. If he was going to die, he might as well drag everyone down with him.
Su Yu didn't want to die, but he did not fear death. Similar to the likes of Mo Duona, the moment he decided to enter the Allheaven Battlefield, he was already ready to kill or be killed.
Wasn't life comfortable and safe in Great Ming? Yes. But he had left that comfortable life behind and entered the Allheaven Battlefield for the sake of strength. He did not want to rely on the protection of others his whole life. The protection of others was not as reliable of the protection of his own strength.

"Heavenearth profound light!"
Looking at the heavenearth profound light in his storage ring, Su Yu's mood calmed significantly.
Five hundred strands.
"These should be enough for me to reach my seventy-second body forging, right?"
He had completed thirty body forgings thus far. He only lacked forty-two forgings. Previously, he had needed almost six strands of heavenearth profound light per forging. There was no doubt that the stronger his body became, the more expensive it would be to forge.
But each forging would also grant him a massive increase in strength. Therefore, it was understandable why it was so expensive and hard for him to complete each forging.
In fact, Su Yu was prepared to accept the fact that he might not even have enough to complete all his forgings. It didn't matter. He would just complete as many forgings as he could. Just adding a few more body forgings would still greatly increase his strength.
He stopped hesitating and started consuming the heavenearth profound light in his storage ring. With his breathing technique, his entire body shook. His body hurriedly absorbed the heavenearth profound light, which was much better than heavenly source qi as it was easier and faster to absorb and process.
As Su Yu focused on cultivation, he forgot about everything happening outside. He had yet to decide on fully becoming a resident. He would make a decision when Invincibles actually started arriving. Those Invincibles might not necessarily dare to enter the city.
***
An hour passed.
After using seven strands of heavenearth profound light, Su Yu's body shook as the thirty-first body forging reached completion. He continued his cultivation.
He did not care about what was happening outside. He only knew that nobody had discovered him yet. And it would take at least three days for the death spirits outside to leave. He would think of what to do after three days.
Yet another hour passed. The night was arriving. Once again, Su Yu's body shook as the thirty-second body forging was completed after consuming eight strands of heavenearth profound light.
Time continued passing. Outside, the city seemed to have become much more silent than before.
When the third hour passed, Su Yu's body shook as his life force surged and his aura roared. With a rumble, he completed his thirty-third body forging after exhausting nine strands of heavenearth profound light. He had consumed twenty-four strands just to complete three body forgings. Each subsequent forging would exhaust more resources than before.
Qin Hao said, "The five elementals contacted me secretly. They offered their assistance for Topsoil Spirit's whereabouts and a guarantee of his safety."
Zhu Guangshen shook his head, "Don't be too hopeful about that. Things might get worse for Su Yu if he appears. It's not like we can trust the five elemental race. Just ignore them."
Qin Hao sighed. After thinking for a bit, he said, "Su Yu...I've always known that he's talented. But I've never guessed that he's so brazen as well. The Invincible of the dragon race will be arriving soon. At this rate, he won't be able to escape."
Where could Su Yu go? Nowhere! Even if some human Invincibles came, the Invincibles of the other races would be around as well. If they insisted on protecting Su Yu, a battle between Invincibles might even break out. Su Yu was showcasing too much potential for the myriad races to be willing to let him off.
His skills, talent, intelligence, and courage were all exceptional. He was also completely merciless. Just look at all the sealed Mountainseas they had given him during the auction. He had killed all of them without any hesitation.
The number of Sunmoons who he had schemed to death was probably higher than the number of Sunmoons Qin Hao himself had killed. Could the myriad races tolerate his continued existence? No.
People like Mo Duona and Zhan Wushuang might also be freakishly talented, but they were nowhere as insane as Su Yu. He was basically a fearless lunatic. As long as the potential gains were worth it, he would be willing to do anything. Life and death were of no concern.
Qin Hao's feelings were extremely complicated. He really wanted to protect Su Yu. He believed his father shared the same wish as well. But...could they even do it?
Su Yu had fallen into an unsolvable dilemma. If he did not showcase enough talent, the human race would not be willing to sacrifice too much for him. But if he showcased too much talent, the myriad races would be willing to sacrifice a lot more to end his life.
Why? Because he was a student of the multiple character faction. There was no solution for this issue unless he was willing to obediently stay in Great Ming. But as a genius, if he remained stagnant for too long, his talent would be ruined.
Qin Hao looked at Zhu Guangshen and asked, "Did your old man tell you anything?"
Zhu Guangshen flashed an honest smile and said, "My father said that my grandpa will try to protect Su Yu if possible. But he won't be able to do much if the matter escalates to a level beyond what he can handle..."
Yes. Great Ming King would try to protect Su Yu. But he was alone. There was a limit to what he could do.
Qin Hao nodded. He inhaled deeply and said, "If the entire human race tries to protect him, it is still possible. We have dozens of Invincibles. Not even someone like me is aware of the exact number of Invincibles we have. I know forty-six of them, and there are probably more that we’re unaware of. With the number of Invincibles we have, the divines and devils won't dare to go to war against us before their Pseudo Emperors become actual Emperors."
Unfortunately, not all Invincibles of humanity were willing to risk a battle between Invincibles just to protect Su Yu. Furthermore, there was a traitor among them. Or there might even be more than one traitor. That was the biggest issue of all.
Nobody knew who the traitor was. What if the traitor decided to backstab humanity during a crucial moment? That would result in the death of one or more human Invincibles. Just by existing, the traitor had forced the human Invincibles to remain passive.
Zhu Guangshen nodded. His father, Zhu Tiandao, had talked to him about this issue before. As per his father, they only needed to wait for now. Great Xia would start everything. Yes. They were sure that Great Xia would be the one to take action first. They would clear all these obstacles within the human race. Zhu Guangshen did not know the exact plan. Not even Zhu Tiandao knew that. They only knew that after Great Xia was done, humanity might be in a better position than before.
Suddenly, all of them trembled. High in the sky, a massive golden dragon had appeared. The incomparably powerful presence of the dragon could be felt deep in the city even though the dragon was still remaining outside.
Inside the city, the little golden dragon, Long Wuyou, flew out of an ancient building and exclaimed in joy, "Grandpa!"
His grandfather was the grand elder of the golden dragon race. An Invincible from the dragon race had arrived. This wasn't surprising since the Dragon Realm was the nearest major realm to this city.
"Wuyou."
The voice of the dragon spread into the city and reverberated everywhere.
