Chapter 2319: Alarmed (2)

In other words, everyone on Human Emperor's side was already accounted for. If this was really a trap, or there were really people hiding in ambush, these people could only be newcomers from the Myriad Realms.

Myriad Realms...

He sank into thought. Previously, the Myriad Realms were sealed. The seal had likely been removed recently. What manner of powerhouse could humanity produce in such a short time?

Accounting for the time difference, only a few days had passed here since the removal of the restriction.

Numerous factors were considered.

Just then, someone spoke, "Nether Pseudo Emperor, it's not a good idea to go too far. I can vaguely see a unique power shrouding the stretch of river ahead of us."

That was the power from Su Yu's world. It was impressive how capable these people were. They could see even the incorporeal influence of Su Yu’s world.

The speaker was an old man with white eyes. Through his special eyes, he could see a unique power shrouding the river before them. That was precisely the area currently covered under the influence of Su Yu's world.

With a slight frown, Nether Pseudo Emperor said, "In that case, we'll stop it here."

They shouldn't do anything rash.

Sure, things seemed hopeless for humanity. But they could never be too careful against the crafty humans. Something didn't feel right about this whole thing. Thus, Nether Pseudo Emperor decided that he wouldn't take a step further than this.

***

Further behind the front lines.

Su Yu frowned. Were they stopping there? He could feel it. Someone or something had gotten in contact with the power from his world. Did someone notice it?

"The myriad races...sure have quite a lot of tricks up their sleeve."

They seemed to have noticed the reach of his world. This was not something he had expected. To the side, Martial Emperor had an odd expression as well. Did Su Yu's trap fail? This guy was very good at scheming against others normally, but was he going to fail when it mattered?

Poor guy.

"I don't think they're coming anymore."

Martial Emperor transmitted. Su Yu could leave the coverage of his world and fight them, but that might result in heavy losses. How was he supposed to contend against them without the support of his world?

Su Yu remained silent. Human Emperor had reminded him repeatedly to stay idle so long as the enemies were still outside their ambush point. Thus, he opted to keep waiting.

Boom!

Deafening rumbles rang out repeatedly. The ongoing battle was incredibly intense. As Su Yu swept his gaze over, his eyes flickered. The Masters of Laws were still in a deadlock, but some had died in the clashes between the Daofuses.

People from both camps were dying. However, the human camp was rapidly losing the advantage. The myriad races simply outnumbered them too much. Nether Pseudo Emperor had only brought twenty or so Masters of Laws with him.

In other words, the fifty or so humans were faced with about a hundred enemies. They were basically faced with twice the number of enemies. The actual situation on the battlefield was a lot more complicated.

Instead of spreading their people evenly among the human camp, the myriad races were focusing on several key figures of the human camp. Su Yu could see that some of them were faced with more than ten Masters of Laws each. At this rate, the key figures of the human camp would start falling as well.

Su Yu frowned. Was Human Emperor sure about this? He was told to not make a move before the enemies reached the ambush point. In this scenario, what would Human Emperor do?

The myriad races had about a hundred Masters of Laws against humanity's fifty-something Masters of Laws. However, the myriad races only needed about sixty to seventy to keep each of them occupied. The rest of the myriad race powerhouses were free to move around the battlefield. If all of them were to focus on one opponent, even a tier-one would die.

The myriad races held a massive advantage here. Their only weakness was their lack of decisiveness. As they currently held the upper hand, they weren't as willing to fight to the death. This was why humanity could still put up a fight against such overwhelming forces.

But at this rate, people would start dying before long. Just as Su Yu contemplated all that, the river grew turbulent. Massive waves swept forth. A suffocating presence approached. Next, a golden flash shot past him. That was Human Emperor's body. Instantly, it shot out of the ambush point and continued on toward Nether Pseudo Emperor's group.

It didn't seem like the body was going to stop. According to their original plan, Nether Pseudo Emperor should rush over and enter the ambush point before the body was here. Unfortunately, Nether Pseudo Emperor had stopped.

Su Yu frowned.

Human Emperor's body was only moving through its instincts. His sea of willpower was currently occupied by three powerhouses. Without the control of his mind, his body wouldn't be able to handle so many powerhouses.

Su Yu asked himself if he needed to act here. Ultimately, he chose to keep waiting.

***

Meanwhile, Nether Pseudo Emperor's eyes were gleaming as he gazed at the incoming body. "What a powerful body. Even when it's only an empty shell, it's still giving off such a suffocating sensation."

Behind, Battle King roared madly and sent a Master of Law flying with a swing of his blade. Then, he shot forth without his escorts. Nether Pseudo Emperor looked at the incoming Battle King. What could he do alone?

In any case, there was no guarantee that Battle King could even reach them. As expected, several myriad race powerhouses appeared to block Battle King's path before he could go far.

With that, Nether Pseudo Emperor returned his focus to Human Emperor's body. Noticing how the body was only moving on instinct, he smiled, "With his body exterminated, victory will be ours."

"Kill!"

With a roar, his nether soil spread and reached the body. In response, the body threw a punch. Boom!

The river stopped flowing. The nether soil collapsed. As for Nether Pseudo Emperor, the concealment effect around his body faded. How powerful. And this was only the strength of the body. The body alone was comparable to a tier one.

Truly terrifying.

With this, Nether Pseudo Emperor grew even more determined to not allow the body to rejoin Human Emperor. Nobody knew how many people Human Emperor would kill in his desperation. But they knew that the tier-ones would most certainly be his priority targets.

Boom!

Just as that thought crossed his mind, Human Emperor's body punched again. The impact swept everywhere, leaving wounds on the bodies of the weaker Masters of Laws. As for Nether Pseudo Emperor, he smiled and released a clump of dusky fog to keep Human Emperor's body away from him.

Then, he ordered, "Draw."

Instantly, a powerhouse beside him activated a unique dao. Protected by the dusky fog, over half the strength of the body's attack was absorbed before it could reach them. Then, the rest joined hands to blast the attack away.

Human Emperor was very strong, but this was only a body. Facing one tier-one and over twenty Masters of Laws, the body was unable to do much. Alone, an ordinary Master of Law would probably be blasted apart right after encountering Human Emperor's body. But thanks to their numerical superiority, the body was rather helpless against them.

"Keep it occupied. We'll take it apart slowly."

Even with the numerical superiority, Nether Pseudo Emperor remained cautious. Instead of clashing head-on, he kept harassing from afar.

***

"What now?"

Su Yu said nothing, but Martial Emperor was starting to grow anxious. At this rate, Human Emperor's body would be defeated. Without his body, Human Emperor himself would lose. Should they interfere?

Su Yu narrowed his eyes, but he said nothing. What could Human Emperor do now? If Human Emperor were out of contingencies, he would have no choice but to act even if the enemies were not at the ambush point yet.

However, Su Yu had a strong feeling that Human Emperor was actually quite reliable. Someone so good at scheming would not be stumped so easily. It was true that the myriad races were being very cautious here. But Human Emperor also knew them very well. Thus, this should not be the extent of his plan.

These people had yet to even enter Heavenbridge's range. Acting now would be the same as launching a head-on attack against them. Numerous thoughts emerged in Su Yu's mind. Meanwhile, things grew more and more dangerous for the human camp.

A human Master of Law was facing seven or eight Masters of Laws alone. Just as he was about to die, a cold roar rang out, "Order to chaos."

Boom!

With a rumble, two of the myriad race powerhouses attacked those around them. After heavily injuring their respective target with the sudden attack, they hurriedly sped off with the heavily injured human powerhouse in tow.

That was only a small corner of the battleground. The same thing was happening elsewhere, including Nether Pseudo Emperor's group.

The moment Human Emperor gave his order, two Masters of Laws in Nether Pseudo Emperor's group blasted Nether Pseudo Emperor's entrapment formation apart, releasing Human Emperor's body from its suppression. Taking advantage of its freedom, the body punched, sending Nether Pseudo Emperor flying far away.

"Damn it!"

Nether Pseudo Emperor's face fell. No fewer than five Masters of Laws had turned against the myriad races at the same time.

Divine Pseudo Emperor's cold voice rang out, "What an idiotic choice. Must you stick to this path of oblivion? Humanity is declining. The loss of this battle will spell their end."

Even now, these people had still chosen to side with the humans. How crazy must they be to make such a choice? Did they really believe that there was still hope for Human Emperor? Then again, the betrayal of several Masters of Laws wasn't enough to reverse the situation.

That was their thought when Human Emperor spoke again, "The rest of you, remain undercover."

"..."

Was that a ploy?

Nobody could say for sure.

Perhaps there were more undercovers, or perhaps there weren't. But Divine Pseudo Emperor and the others knew that this was enough to cause those on their side to hesitate even more. Everyone would be too busy maintaining their guard against those around them.

However, it wasn't like they were completely helpless against such a ploy. It had been too many years. They knew each other too well. Right at that moment, one of the exposed undercover Master of Law screamed in pain as his body started burning. That was not all. His dao itself was burning as well.
