Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1173: Nobody Believes The Truth (2)

In the sky, Zhao Rui continued staring at the crowd with frosty eyes.

Those standing at the very front of the crowd were all humans. Meanwhile, the non-humans had wisely retreated to the back. He gnashed his teeth in fury. These people should stop pushing him.

The blade of the Martial Dragon Guard was meant for the myriad races and traitors. But if they pushed him too much, he wouldn't mind unleashing that blade upon his fellow humans. They were in a stand-off.

Some of the outsiders were still unwilling to accept this. They refused to allow Xia Family monopoly over the ruin. Thus, one of them roared furiously, "Is this ruin Xia Family's? Zhao Rui, this ruin belongs to all humanity. Everyone can fight for it. Luck and ability will determine the ultimate victor. Even if the Xia Family manages to monopolize it, you won't get anything!"

Zhao Rui's eyes turned even colder. Right at that moment, a fist dropped from the sky. With a rumble, a moon started falling from the sky. Then, a fatty walked out of thin air. He came with fury and boundless killing intent.

"Keep running your mouth!"

Marquis Xia had a strip of black cloth wrapped around his arm, signifying that he was in mourning over his dead son.

Marquis Xia, who would always present everyone with a genial and smiling expression, was incredibly cold today.

"Zhao Rui, how useless can you be? If they keep running their mouths, just kill them all."

With boundless rage, Marquis Xia glared at the crowd and said, "Audacious! How brazen! After killing my son, you're challenging the Xia Family. Do you really think you can step all over us? Go on! Keep running your mouth! I dare you!"

Silence descended. Marquis Xia had punched a human Sunmoon to death right after arriving. Had he gone mad?

One of them exclaimed in alarm, "Marquis, that was a commander from the Great Zhao Army...you..."

Boom!

Marquis Xia threw another punch, blasting the Mountainsea apart, and coldly asked, "So? Yes. I killed him. What about it? All of you should take the blame for my son's death."

Madness. Absolute madness.

Finally, the human experts started stepping back. They were greatly alarmed.

Marquis Xia had gone crazy. They weren't even the killers of his son. It was the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Marquis Xia had gone mad. He was taking his anger on everyone. He only needed an excuse to start killing.

Sure enough, every single member of the Xia Family was a murderous individual, including Marquis Xia who had always pretended to be kind and genial.

With a frosty expression, Marquis Xia said, "Go on. Anyone else with something to say? Come. Keep standing in the way of the Martial Dragon Guard."

Silence descended.

After a short silence, a human expert spoke gloomily from far away, "Marquis Xia, we only hope to compete fairly. Isn't the Xia Family being a tad bit too overbearing here?"

Marquis Xia's eyes lit up as he stared at the speaker in the distance and said, "And what can you do about it? Yes. I'm being overbearing. Why don't you do something about it? Yun Wuwei. I'm standing right here. Come and kill me. If you fail, I'll kill your entire family. Come on. Show me your courage."

"You're being unreasonable!"

With a sigh, the distant expert decided to stop arguing with this madman. Xia Xiao'er had gone mad. After losing his son to Profound Nine, he had decided to stop all pretenses. It felt like the entire Xia Family had gone mad from excessive pressure.

A different expert spoke, "Can the Xia Family actually keep this ruin? The human Invincibles allowed us to enter. We traded our Luminous Domain Mansion slots for this. Does the Xia Family think itself immune to the retribution of the myriad races?"

The speaker was a ninth-stage Sunmoon from the divine race. He floated proudly in the air as he spoke with a cold expression.

A divine had shown up! Additionally, Zhan Wushuang and a few other young divine geniuses had arrived as well. They hovered around the Sunmoon, some indifferent and some disdainful.

Was the Xia Family even capable of stopping everyone? The ruin did not belong to the Xia Family. Great Xia King couldn't return. All the human Invincibles were occupied somewhere else. And these myriad race experts had entered with the permission of the human Invincibles. With only an eighth-stage Sunmoon like Marquis Xia, could the Xia Family stop all of them?

"I am being overbearing here. What are you going to do about it?"

Immediately after, one late-stage Sunmoon after another appeared. Administrator Hu had arrived, bringing with him several late-stage Sunmoons. These were the experts previously in charge of watching over the minor realms under Great Xia's rule.

"Hu De Hao!"

"Wang Qiping!"

"Lan Pingyue!"

Seeing the arrival of so many experts, some were shocked and some grew solemn. Was Great Xia really going all out to protect this ruin?

If all these people were lost during the ensuing battle, this would spell the ruin of Xia Family. These were the experts they had produced after over four hundred years of growth. These experts were the reason Great Xia was known as one of the three strongest human prefectures.

All these late-stage Sunmoons were the backbone of Great Xia. Marquis Xia, Zhao Rui, Hu Dehao, three other late-stage Sunmoons, and the six Sunmoons from the Martial Dragon Guard had shown up. The auras of twelve Sunmoons covered the entirety of the city.

At the same time, the Martial Dragon Guard soldiers in the city entered formation as they braced for combat. Killing intent permeated the air. Even the myriad race experts were forced to take this seriously now. The Xia Family had indeed gone mad. The number of experts Great Xia could produce was terrifyingly high.

Even with twelve Sunmoons present, they still had more to spare. Each of the five minor realms under Great Xia's rule was watched over by a late-stage Sunmoon. Only three of them had arrived.

Additionally, they also had one late-stage Sunmoon stationed in the Allheaven Prefecture.

The chief commander of the Devil Subduing Army was also a late-stage Sunmoon.

In the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy was a late-stage Sunmmon white dragon.

And these were only the publicly known late-stage Sunmoons. Nobody knew if Great Xia had more secret experts hiding around.

Furthermore, they also had to take Xia Longwu into consideration. There were at least twelve late-stage Sunmoons in Great Xia who were publicly known. This was comparable in number to the Sunmoons the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had sent into the Human Realm.

This was how Great Xia had become one of the three strongest human prefectures. This was how Great Xia had gained the strength to wage war across the Allheaven Battlefield. This was the strength they had achieved through countless sacrifices.

Just the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy alone had lost five principals to date. Every one of them was a late-stage Sunmoon. All of them had fought for the hegemony of Great Xia.

The arrival of so many late-stage Sunmoons had truly alarmed the various experts. They finally realized that Great Xia had gone completely mad. Was Great Xia really going to throw all caution to the wind? Some of the people in the crowd were already starting to retreat.

Marquis Xia had killed a Sunmoon and a Mountainsea right after arriving. Both were humans. Clearly, he no longer cared about consequences. Marquis Xia maintained a frosty expression and said nothing else.

Sure enough, if one was too patient, everyone would think that one was a good target to bully. Were the likes of them even qualified to challenge the Xia Family? These humans were actually the ones to push the Xia Family ahead of the myriad races. How lamentable.

Inwardly, Marquis Xia wasn't actually angry. Instead, he was quite happy. In truth, he disagreed with some of Wan Tiansheng's plans. But Wan Tiansheng was too stubborn. However, he no longer cared after seeing how all these people were acting.

Perhaps Wan Tiansheng was right all along. Even if his reputation would be completely ruined after the conclusion of this event, Wan Tiansheng would not regret it. Right at that moment, a loud rumble rang out.

Boom!

A moon appeared in the sky and enlarged rapidly.

Then, a silhouette soared out of Su Yu's house. With a roar, Hong Tan's aura surged. In the blink of an eye, the moon in the sky grew far larger than before.

His aura spread in all directions.

He had advanced to the second-stage Sunmoon Realm.

Hovering in the sky, Hong Tan was fully immersed in the sensations of a breakthrough. After a short moment, a vague silhouette appeared behind him. It was a white jade stele. On the stele, two characters could be seen: Culture Tomb.

"Culture Tomb!"

Someone exclaimed in alarm.

The experts who had calmed down earlier started stepping forward. Even the myriad race experts were losing their calm.

An expert exclaimed, "Culture Tomb! It's the Culture Tomb!"

Sure enough, this ruin was related to the multiple character faction.

Hong Tan hadn't even entered the ruin for long, but he had already achieved a breakthrough.

The eyes of some experts lit up brightly as they focused on the neighborhood. They sighted several multiple character cultivators seated cross-legged nearby. These people had not entered the ruin. Some other things were also sighted. Inside Su Yu's house, numerous new auras had appeared. The aura of heavenly source qi, the aura of sunmoon profound yellow liquid, and the auras of some unique characters.

"Ruin! They're only cultivating outside the ruin!"

"It's already so effective to cultivate outside!"

The various experts were greatly shocked. The ruin had yet to even fully open.

The thick auras of heavenly source qi and sunmoon profound yellow liquid were telling them that this was an incredibly powerful ruin. All the experts trembled in excitement.

Some of them started sending voice transmissions to those they knew. "Calm down. The ruin has yet to open. I can't detect its exact location yet. Be patient and wait. Let the multiple character faction continue. Their presence will keep triggering the ruin. Before long, it will fully emerge."

"Don't do anything rash. This is merely the prelude. The main show has yet to begin."

"Let Great Xia keep watch over it for now. We need to wait for the experts of our race to arrive."

"..."

The experts conversed among themselves and decided to hold back for now. Even if they were to destroy the entire Xia Family now, it was pointless. Perhaps it was not yet time for the ruin to fully emerge.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Anyone from the tri-eye devil race here? Use your devil eye and take a look!"

"Anyone from the heavenly eye race here? Use your heavenly eye!"

"Any devileye around? Take a look! Is the ruin there?"

"..."

Those who couldn't see anything were getting increasingly impatient. One after another, they started pushing for those with special abilities to take a look.

Before long, a devil walked out of thin air and laughed, "The Xia Family refuses to let us see this, but we're not about to oblige. Let's see. Just how amazing is this mysterious ruin? Multiple character faction, you have my thanks for revealing the entrance to us!"

Right after that, a beam of light shot toward Su Yu's house.

Boom!

With a punch, Marquis Xia blasted the beam of light apart. Then, several ninth-stage Sunmoon auras rose into the sky.

"Xia Xiao'er, don't push it too far. We're not even intruding. We only want to take a look. Why are you stopping even that?"

"Are you forcing us to fight the Xia Family with all our strength?"

"You can try to throw your weight around if you want, but that won't work against us."

"..."

One expert after another spoke, trying to threaten the Xia Family into submission. Hearing their words, Marquis Xia's face fell. Then, several experts activated their eye abilities at the same time and looked in the direction of Su Yu's house.

Boom!

Abruptly, a projection appeared in the sky. It was the projection of a small city. An ancient old city. On the signboard hanging above the city gate, the word Culture could be seen clearly.

It was as though a window to the past had appeared. One could even vaguely see the ancient humans walking around in the ancient city. In but a mere moment, all these people vanished.

Time started accelerating forward. Before anyone knew it, the city had turned into a desolate, abandoned city.

Nobody could see the exact appearances of those ancient humans. However, one thing was clear for all to see. When all the ancient humans vanished, a single white jade stele was left behind.

Culture Tomb.

Marquis Xia's jaw dropped.

Holy shit!

What was going on?

Wasn’t this supposed to be the fake ruin?

Why was he feeling like this was actually a real ruin?
