Chapter 1048: Shining Even As A Living Dead! (3)
Once again, the gazes of the various realms were attracted toward Grandstar City. And once again, some experts started gathering outside the city. But this time, nobody had the courage to attack the city.
Through this incident, the ancient cities had once again established their might before the myriad races. Only those tired of living would think of attacking the city. They were merely gathered here to stay updated with the latest happenings inside the city.
Everyone knew that the city was supposed to be unsealed today. But before long, they learned from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion that Sunmoon death spirits had appeared yet again. Thus, the city would remain sealed for three more days.
The various experts started growing nervous. The experts of the major races also started gathering around the city. Not long ago, even their Invincibles had been forced to return with their tails between their legs. Their experts and geniuses were still trapped inside. What were they supposed to do now?
***
Amid the nervous atmosphere, two and a half days passed.
At the moment, the experts trapped in the city were gathered inside a large first ring building. Those from the ancient races, top 100 races, and major races could all be seen here. A total of sixteen late-stage Sunmoons were present. Some of the Sunmoons had been able to escape the city, but most of them were still trapped here. For example, Ancient Mountain had escaped right after the Invincibles started entering the city.
Also gathered in the building were some early and middle-stage Sunmoons. But there weren't that many of them. A lot of them had perished in the previous chaos. Only six of them were still around.
In total, there were twenty-two Sunmoons in the building. About a dozen geniuses were there as well. These were the top geniuses of the various races. They were only here to expand their horizons and witness the corpse of an ancient Invincible. But instead, they were all plunged into such a crisis.
Someone sighed, "I wonder if there are any additional surprises waiting for us. We have probably found Topsoil Spirit. In the entire city, only one non-resident occupied building remains. He's probably in there."
The Sunmoon from the five elemental race said helplessly, "That building isn't too far from here, but Topsoil Spirit is probably still sealed. The door of that building can only be opened from the inside. I don't know how long he will stay sealed. With how dense the death qi is, I'm worried that he won't even survive that long..."
Thankfully, Topsoil Spirit had sealed himself with the powers of two Invincibles. Thus, the seal was able to withstand the death qi in the building to some extent. If Topsoil Spirit had relied only on his own strength, he would have died to the death qi in the building by now.
Including the building they were in, there were only two occupied buildings in the entire city. Sure, there were some surviving residents as well, but all of them were still hiding indoors. In any case, they didn't need to worry about the death qi of the city.
They could only hide indoors and focus on cultivation. It was still too dangerous outside. Food was not an issue either. At the Skysoar Realm and beyond, one could survive without food for months.
"You should start worrying about yourself instead." Someone coldly said, "Topsoil Spirit is probably in a much better position than us. We don't have a powerful seal around us to protect us from death qi. If the city remains sealed this time, we won't be able to last long."
"We have one last option. We can just get the mayor to forcefully open the gates..."
Everyone ignored that voice. Would the mayor do so? Dream on. The mayor himself was already dying. If he broke the rules and opened the gates forcefully, the backlash might result in an earlier death. Would the mayor do something like that?
Just look at how silent the mayor had been. He had probably been busy suppressing the death qi in his body. What a stupid suggestion.
"..."
This was driving some of them mad. Clearly, Su Yu was trying to get them killed. Even with late-stage Sunmoons on patrol duty, Su Yu was still able to kill death spirits to spawn Sunmoon death spirits. With this, the city would remain sealed for three more days. Some of them were really reaching their limits.
They sank into despair. Some of them started asking for help from the outside world through the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. They were really going to die.
As for the option of converting into a resident, most of the more desperate ones were also the ones who had sustained some injuries previously. In such a scenario, they wouldn't be able to survive for long even after conversion as they still had to contend against the death qi in their bodies after conversion.
They would simply die and transform into death spirits. And that was certainly not the result they wanted. Voices of despair rang out all over the city.
Meanwhile, Su Yu remained completely indifferent. Whatever. As far as he was concerned, these were basically the last words of these people.
Suddenly, someone roared in desperation, "Su Yu, stop killing! Let us go! My race has never been an enemy of the human race. But if you kill me, my race will definitely blame the human race for this!"
"Su Yu, must you provoke more enemies for humanity?"
"..."
Su Yu remained indifferent. They were finally saying these words when they were losing. What nonsense. Who did they think they were? He could also claim that if he died, dozens of human Invincibles would take revenge for him. Would they believe those words?
Would they stop just because of some threatening words? How hilarious. A bunch of fools. If the humans couldn't even withstand the wrath of these races with only one or two Invincibles, they might as well embrace extinction.
Why should they even continue existing if they were so weak just anyone could push them around?
The human race was a race with dozens of Invincibles, yet even these minor races had the courage to threaten the human race. As far as Su Yu was concerned, even races with a few Invincibles were considered minor races. These races could probably be destroyed with only one Invincible. Their threats were worth nothing to him.
***
Outside, numerous people were cursing as well.
Even after becoming a living dead, Su Yu still dominated the attention of the Myriad Realms. He was trying to drag more than ten young geniuses and more than twenty Sunmoons down with him.
How ruthless. As a mere Cloudbreach, he was on the way of causing the deaths of over fifty Sunmoons in total. Even if he were to die now, he would probably not have any regrets. For most people, converting into a resident was the same as dying. One would be bound to the city forever without a chance to grow in cultivation. What difference was that from death?
A resident only appeared alive, but not really alive. Thus, even if the people trapped in the city were able to survive through conversion, they would still be considered dead by those outside. Everyone was amazed at how crazy and ruthless Su Yu was.
