Chapter 1027: Spreading Tremors (3)
At the same time.
Near Eastrift Valley.
Great Qin King abruptly opened his eyes and looked toward Sea of Stars.
Qin Hao was asking for help. What was going on? According to the rumors, an ancient corpse was being auctioned there. But Great Qin King did not think that they would be able to win the auction. He knew very well how poor they were. But...what manner of trouble was Qin Hao in?
Did his kid decide to rob the corpse and end up trapped in the ancient city? Yes. That was the first thing he thought his son would do. But...his son wasn't supposed to be strong enough to do something like that. Supposedly, a lot of high-stage Sunmoons were there as well. But those people wouldn't dare to kill Qin Hao without reason.
Great Qin King frowned slightly. Should he go? But he needed to guard the borders.
At that moment, a certain aura rose not far away. Great Ming King spoke, "Old Qin, I need to pay Sea of Stars a visit."
"You're going as well?"
Great Ming King blanked out. As well?
He asked in astonishment, "You're going as well?"
"Qin Hao asked for help."
"Guangshen asked for help as well."
Silence descended as the two Invincibles looked at each other in dismay. Was it possible that their juniors had joined hands to rob that Tianduo? At that moment, Great Qin King received a new update. After checking the newly arrived information, he said, "Tianduo is dead...did those two kill Tianduo and snatch the corpse?"
As far as they were concerned, that was the most likely possibility. Great Ming King nodded in agreement. How brazen.
Suddenly, a different Invincible exclaimed not far away. With an index copy in hand, he asked, "There's an update from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Did the two of you receive a call for help?"
"Yeah. What did you learn from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, Old Tang?"
Great Tang King sent a voice transmission to all Invincibles in the area, "Something big might have happened. Tianduo...no, Su Yu...no, disguised as Tianduo, Su Yu auctioned an ancient Invincible corpse to the divines and scammed 2,300 strands of heavenearth profound light from them before killing the real Tianduo and vanishing right before dozens of Sunmoons. Grandstar City has fallen into chaos with numerous death spirits appearing. The city has also been sealed..."
Yes. Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was able to transmit information out of the ancient city even when the city was sealed. All the human Invincibles were shocked.
A burly figure appeared with a somewhat helpless expression. He said, "I'll go with Old Zhu. Old Qin, you'll continue standing guard here."
Great Xia King had appeared.
Great Ming King nodded in agreement. He was still in a state of stupefaction. Su Yu...scammed dozens of Sunmoons and vanished right before them...how many strands of heavenearth profound light did he scam?
Wow...that was such a huge number. Great Ming King was sure that at that very moment, Su Yu was already wealthier than him. Harvesting heavenearth profound light was an extremely time-consuming task. He had not been able to spare much time doing that.
In short, that fellow had elevated himself into the richest human alive with a single scam. The two Invincibles couldn't afford to delay any longer. They started rushing toward Sea of Stars. If the information they received was true, then Su Yu would definitely become a target of Invincibles.
At the very least, he would become the target of the Invincibles from the divine race. And that was perfectly understandable. Anyone would be driven crazy after being scammed like this.
After the two left, Great Qin King remained stupefied for some time to process what he just heard. Finally, he started cursing. He was wrong. He should have visited Heavendoom City personally to kick that kid back to the Human Realm during the previous incident. Back then, he had thought that it wasn't a bad idea for the kid to run and hide around for a bit. That would make for a good tempering.
But he was wrong. Hide? Nope. That kid wasn't on the way to hide. Instead, he was on his way to create an even bigger mess. Not even Great Qin King himself had earned that much heavenearth profound light before.
"Summon even more of our Invincibles back. We need to strengthen our defenses."
Once again, Great Qin King cursed. That was necessary. He was worried that their current strength was not enough to protect their borders.
"Someone needs to catch that damn kid and bring him back."
At that thought, a strand of willpower shot out toward Great Ming King and Great Xia King. Through voice transmission, he said, "If you see him, make sure to catch him back! Make sure of that! We can't let him stay outside any longer. This is too terrifying. He will provoke countless Eternals..."
That little shit was scarier than Xia Longwu. No, that little shit was even scarier than Ye Batian. He was ten times scarier than Ye Batian.
Fuck!
Great Ming King and Great Xia King did not even bother to give a reply. What nonsense. Of course they would catch that damn troublemaker back if they could. If they allowed that kid to stay outside, the kid would probably set a new record of being the very first Cloudbreach to be personally hunted by Invincibles in history.
In the past, he was merely a wanted individual of the myriad races. But after this incident, Invincibles would personally move out and go after him. This was most definitely a history in the making. Not even Ye Batian and Xia Longwu had enjoyed such a treatment.
***
News of what happened continued spreading through the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Before long, the Invincibles of the various races started hearing about it. From the western sector, a divine Invincible started rushing toward the ancient city, leaving a trail of shattered space in his wake.
In the Immortal Realm, Dao King nearly coughed blood from sheer anger. Once again, his grandson was trapped in an ancient city. Annoyed, he decided to personally make a trip there.
In the Devil Realm, several devil kings wasted no time and started heading to the ancient city as well. Among them was a devil king from the blood fire devil race. He could see that a massive fight was on the verge of unfolding. After all, the scale of the scam was so massive that it was only fair for a fight between Invincibles to break out over it.
A dragon king was also moving out of the Dragon Realm, the nearest realm to the ancient city in question. He was going there to enjoy the good show that was about to unfold. Perhaps there might even be a chance for him to fish in troubled water when the fight broke out.
It was as though the Myriad Realms had been hit by a massive earthquake. Numerous Invincibles were on the move. They had no choice but to go there personally. Over the years, it was very rare for any ancient city to be sealed. In fact, this had happened less than ten times over the past hundred years. But in recent times, it had happened twice. It hadn't even been a month since the last incident. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Heavendoom City.
When the stone statue overheard what the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion members in the city were talking about, he opened his eyes. The look in his eyes was practically saying this: Would you look at that! I knew this was going to happen!
And he was proven right! Even a statue like him could see this happening. It was indeed that little troublemaker! Just look at Grandstar City! The city had been sealed. He was right!
"Will the Soul Devourer Pseudo Emperor be there as well?"
Just as he was thinking about that, he felt two powerful auras flying by. These were familiar auras. They belonged to the two human Eternals: Great Xia King and Great Ming King.
Sure enough, even the humans were making a move. Well, well. It would seem like a battle between Eternals might break out in Grandstar City. That seemed like it would be quite an interesting show to watch.
In fact, the stone statue had the urge to latch onto the two human Eternals with some of his willpower to enjoy the show. But ultimately, he refrained from doing so. That wouldn't be an easy feat to accomplish. Furthermore, Grandstar might turn furious from sheer embarrassment after learning that he was there to enjoy the show.
Thus, the stone statue shut his eyes again. He had decided to calmly wait for further updates. Would things grow even more chaotic? He also noticed that when the chaos was erupting somewhere else instead of his own place, he would actually feel quite good.
He even started praying that the little troublemaker would visit all the ancient cities and let them have a taste of what he experienced not long ago. What an impressive little troublemaker.

Not long after.
Human Realm.
Great Xia Cultural Research Academy.
Wan Tiansheng noted that several of his voice transmission talismans were shaking. When he checked them...
He staggered from the sheer shock he was feeling.
"I—"
"This..."
"Fuck!"
A shrill shout rang out in his room. Was this real? Was the future he saw really something that would unfold in the Human Realm? Could that brat even return alive? He was starting to wonder if he had been shown a fake future. There was no way that brat could survive this.
That lunatic. That madman. Su Yu was a lot crazier than both Ye Batian and Xia Longwu combined. Which Cloudbreach would have the courage to scam an Invincible? And the brat had done more than that. He had scammed multiple Invincibles and a bunch of Sunmoons.
"2,300 strands of heavenearth profound light..."
Wan Tiansheng gasped in shock. How rich. If the brat could survive this, would he still need to ever worry about cultivation resources ever again?
"Can he really return alive?"
He greatly doubted that.
