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.
"The third day is going to end soon..."
Someone said, "Everyone, be on alert. Send more people out to patrol the city. Don't give Su Yu the chance to do anything. If we have to stay in the city for three more days, some of us will probably be forced to convert into a resident as well."
Yes. Conversion was an option as Su Yu wouldn't dare to show himself in front of them. But nobody dared to attempt a conversion. The day before, someone died while attempting to convert. When Mo Duona and the others recalled the death of Final Armor, an answer emerged in their minds.
This was Su Yu's handiwork! That fellow had most definitely disguised himself as a death spirit before picking up the bloodstained talisman of that person. Ultimately, that person, who was a peak Mountainsea, had died in such a helpless manner.
***
At the same time, several late-stage Sunmoons were patrolling the city.
As for Su Yu, he had just been roused from his meditation. The forty-sixth body forging had finally been completed. Very good. He also noted that the gates would be unsealed soon. He couldn't allow those people to leave.
After opening the door slightly, he swung his medallion around. Shortly after, a Mountainsea death spirit arrived in front of his door. When Su Yu glanced at the death spirit, he told it off.
This was only an early Mountainsea death spirit. Killing this fellow would only result in the appearance of middle-stage Mountainsea death spirits. He would be forced to make several kills and risk exposing himself. He swung his medallion again. A short while later, a peak Mountainsea death spirit arrived.
"Lower your head a little..."
With Su Yu's order, the death spirit lowered its head. Su Yu started looking around while scanning the area with his Perception Jade. He had to make sure that there were no Sunmoons within a range of one kilometer. That way, they wouldn't be able to sense it when he killed this death spirit.
Shortly after, he was done with his checks. With one punch, Su Yu killed the death spirit. He had grown a lot stronger than before. And since the death spirit was staying completely defenseless before him, it wasn't surprising that he could kill it with one punch.
Instantly, an early Sunmoon appeared before him. He hurriedly slammed his door shut.
Moments later, furious roars rang out in the city.
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
"Su Yu! You're too cruel!"
"Su Yu, release us or your father and your teachers will all die!"
"..."
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.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
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.
