Chapter 2153: Upper Realm Again (2)
Two days later.
Su Yu encountered some chaos beasts while moving his world. He did not hold back and killed every one of them.
Shortly after, a broken piece of floating land appeared in the middle of the chaotic space. It no longer emanated the aura of the myriad daos. Rather, it emanated the aura of chaos power.
Instead of keeping the daos within his world ordered, Su Yu allowed chaos to reign. Countless experts stood atop the floating land.
Su Yu had gathered almost everyone he could here. Only a small number of people were left behind to watch over the Celestial Chasm Realm. His people had been pulled out of even the Death Realm.
The land split open.
The dao painting was visible beneath the crack. Su Yu said, "Everyone, hide inside the dao painting. Tea Plant, implant yourself above the dao painting. South Heavenly King, release your aura after disguising it as Tea Plant's. Scare off the weaker chaos beasts. Help Tea Plant disguise herself as well. Don't keep the same appearance."
Everyone nodded. Wan Tiansheng said, "You should worry about yourself the most, Your Majesty. The Upper Realm isn't a safe place for you."
"I understand." Su Yu said, "It will be fine. This time, I'm going with a large number of powerhouses."
Su Yu looked at the crowd, raised his brow, and said, "Snow Orchid General, you should come with me as well. I'll be going with Giant Axe Marquis and March. Everyone knows that you're with March. We don't want anyone to think that you're missing."
Snow Orchid General frowned slightly, but she agreed, "Sure."
"As for the rest of you, cultivate hard during the wait." Su Yu said, "I will grant Principal Wan and Lan Tian control over the human lord's token. If anyone wishes to enter to comprehend the essence of daos inside, you may seek them out. But Heavenly Overseer Marquis is sealed inside so make sure to not release him."
Wan Tiansheng nodded, "Don't worry."
Su Yu had nothing else to say. Only one expert under heavenly king was going with him, Heavenbridge Marquis. Heavenbridge Marquis couldn't be left behind. His ability was simply too useful.

Myriad Realms.
The third day was arriving soon.
Power fluctuations rose from the three sealed realms, as though they were going to unseal themselves soon.
Su Yu had called for them to gather at the boundless void. The experts of the three realms were hesitating. Should they unseal their realms? In truth, they had decided long ago. But when the time to do so arrived, they started hesitating.
Suddenly, a rumble rang out. A layer of barrier around the Immortal Realm had shattered. Numerous figures flew out of the realm, with Tiangu on the lead. With a crown on his head, he emanated a powerful aura. A group of powerhouses, including Talisman King, followed behind them. There were multiple Daofuses among them.
Han Xiang, Jade King, Wind King, Thunder King...
Eight Daofuses stood behind Tiangu.
This was the result of the removal of the restriction he had imposed on the other immortals. With the removal of the restriction, the immortals had produced seven new Daofuses in a short time.
Apart from these Daofuses, there were also more than ten peak Eternals in the group. Including Tiangu, over twenty powerhouses had emerged from the Immortal Realm. These Eternals had failed to break through into the Daofuse Realm in the Lower Realm, but that might change in the Upper Realm due to the weaker dao suppression up there.
Moments later, the barrier around the Devil Realm shattered. Numerous figures emerged. Mo Ji and Mo Yue appeared, followed by one powerhouse after another. Even Mo Duona was among them. He seemed to be emanating an indistinct Daofuse aura.
And then, everyone looked toward the Divine Realm. The barrier around the Divine Realm shattered as well. Jiwu emerged, followed by five Daofuses. However, everyone was still focusing on the Divine Realm instead of them. Inside, an ancient being with a powerful aura emerged slowly.
A white-haired old woman. Her appearance was so old she looked senile, and her aura was unstable. It kept alternating between weak and strong. Without the support of the Divine Realm, the old woman's cultivation started growing unstable.
March, Giant Axe Marquis, and Thunderstorm arrived near the Divine Realm moments later. Jiwu and the others grew alert at their approach. The old woman said nothing. She merely nodded at the newcomers with a smile.
The three newcomers nodded back at her. She was a truly ancient being.
The dao companion of the first Divine Pseudo Emperor.
Back then, the various powerhouses were dragged off by the Human Emperor. A majority of the dao companions of the peak powerhouses back then had either died in battle or died of old age. However, this old woman had survived until today. She had been protecting the divine race until today.
"Consort Emeritus..."
Jiwu was worried about her condition. "Leaving the realm is..."
"No worries."
With a smile, the old woman fully stepped out of the Divine Realm. Instantly, thunder rumbled in the sky. Right at that moment, numerous crimson tokens appeared in the sky to disperse the forming tribulation.
A gate appeared out of thin air. Su Yu, Fat Ball, Heavenbridge Marquis, and Snow Orchid General stepped out.
Looking at the old woman with a smile, Su Yu said, "I see."
The old woman laughed, "I've shown you an embarassing side of me, Emperor Yu."
Su Yu said, "No. That was quite impressive, Consort Emeritus. With your accumulation, you would have advanced into a Master of Law long ago without Human Emperor's restriction."
Slight doubt flickered in Su Yu's eyes as he said after a short pause, "No, something isn't right. Wait, are you already a Master of Law long ago?"
Numerous people were alarmed upon hearing those words.
Su Yu said, "Why do I have a feeling that you have long advanced into a Master of Law? But to avoid the laws, you switched your dao and severed your original dao. Even so, you managed to reach the very end of your new dao. However, you failed to break through into a Master of Law with your new dao due to the restriction.
"People like Martial Emperor and Death Imperator are still stuck behind their seals. They are unable to act freely. But you can.
"I understand now. In order to keep protecting the divine race, you opted to sever your dao instead of sealing yourself away. You cultivated a new dao and reached the level of a Venerable through that dao. Unfortunately, you are too old. After losing your original dao, your lifespan is suffering. Is that the case?"
The old woman gave Su Yu a deep gaze. At this time, the other powerhouses were arriving one after another. All of them looked at Su Yu doubtfully.
When Jiwu looked at Su Yu with a frown, Su Yu laughed and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? The Consort Emeritus must have fallen from a Master of Law. Because of that, she's running out of lifespan. After all, she's an ancient being. She is much older than everyone here. But recovery isn't that hard either. Just kill Tiangu and refine him into some Long Life Pills and you will be able to extend your life."
Far away, Tiangu listened calmly without saying anything.
Su Yu continued, "Of course, that's not the only way. You can also break the restriction and allow her to return to a Master of Law and regain her lifespan. Otherwise, she probably won't live past three months."
To the side, March shifted uncomfortably. (three months and March read the same in Chinese)
There seemed to be multiple meanings to those words.
Was Su Yu saying that the Consort Emeritus wouldn't outlive him? Or was he saying that she would die in three months?
The old woman smiled and said, "You have keen eyes, Emperor Yu. Yes, I was once a Master of Law. But the Myriad Realms no longer allowed the existence of such beings. Tribulations will follow whenever such a being emerges. Back then, the laws were much more powerful. Even Masters of Laws would fall to their tribulations. I was left with no choice but to sever my dao."
Su Yu asked, "Why didn't you seal yourself instead?"
The Consort Emeritus said, "Sealing myself? What's the point? People like Martial Emperor are all sealed, but are they really better off than me?"
Su Yu nodded. "You have impressive courage, Consort Emeritus. I can see that you have participated in many battles over the years. That must have been the reason you refused to seal yourself. You wish to remain a protector of the divine race. The myriad races might be my enemies, but I have to admit that some of you are still deserving of my respect."
The Consort Emeritus could have sealed herself off and waited until the time was right before emerging. But she had not done so. Instead, she had severed her dao to recultivate. A large amount of courage was required for that.
Su Yu looked around and smiled. "Not bad at all. Everyone has grown considerably. Sure enough, pressure is the best motivation. Without me, many of you would still be stuck below Daofuse. To be honest, you need to thank me for your rapid growth. Look, Tiangu is already a heavenly king. Jiwu isn't far away either. Mo Ji is less impressive, but things aren't completely hopeless for him either..."
Su Yu chuckled, "Am I right? During the past few months, you have grown much faster than before."
Su Yu laughed heartily. The powerhouses of the three races had mixed feelings about this. Yes. They had grown much faster. Su Yu was right. The pressure was too great, pushing their growth in their desperation.
Furthermore, the natural environment had also changed. Cultivation seemed easier as the restriction placed on the Myriad Realms was on the verge of breaking apart. The myriad daos were much easier to comprehend than before. Or perhaps the various ancient powerhouses were simply getting near.
As a result, their dao powers were starting to stir, resulting in an easier growth for those left behind.
For example, the original Pseudo Immortal Emperor might be near. As a result, the entire immortal emperor dao started stirring. The cultivators of that dao could all sense it. The dao power had grown a lot more lively than before.
Su Yu swept his gaze past the crowd and said, "This isn't that bad. There are fewer than a hundred of you together. Looks like you don't intend to migrate with everyone."
Tiangu said, "The Upper Realm is not necessarily safer. There is no need for us to take everyone with us."
"I guess you're right."
Su Yu nodded. He gazed in Human Realm's direction. A terrifying being had appeared outside the realm, gazing in his direction silently. The others sensed the same.
Hundred Battle King.
He was merely watching in silence.
Su Yu smiled before removing his gaze. He looked at the assembled people and said, "In that case, let's move on."
"..."
His choice of words caused them to shiver slightly. For some reason, those sounded like the words one would say before sending someone off to the afterlife.
Su Yu looked at Thunderstorm and smiled, "Venerable Thunderstorm, are you not taking some of your people to the Upper Realm?"
Thunderstorm smiled and said, "There is no need for that. The Lower Realm is quite safe."
"Sure."
Then, Su Yu started flying toward the boundless void.
To the side, Jiwu and the other divines hurriedly gathered around the old woman with worry. Fortunately, the tribulation had not returned after it was dispersed by Su Yu. Otherwise, the old lady wouldn't have been able to proceed with this journey.
She had reached the allowed limit of strength, but from how unstable her dao power was, it was likely that she would die to her own power before killing anyone the moment she fought. The old woman gazed at Su Yu silently. Her mood was solemn.
Just how strong was this young man now? Not even she could see through Su Yu's cultivation anymore. Everyone followed in silence. This was their first time traveling alongside Su Yu in peace. Could this be considered a form of cooperation?
Perhaps.
