Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 867: Cui Lang Of Great Ming (3)

Su Yu was no longer following the group of mystic armors.

He was scanning his own body. After a long time, he opened his eyes again. A tiny glimmer appeared in his eyes as they opened. He muttered, "I can get three portions of heavenly source qi by killing a random guy. What if I could kill dozens of people daily? Wouldn't that make me rich? No wonder everyone here loves to hunt for geniuses. So it is so profitable. And that Green Armor is definitely not as valuable as Red Armor."

Even Su Yu himself would need to spend around a thousand merit points to extract a portion of heavenly source qi. Thus, he had basically earned three thousand merit points from a single kill.

The true value of his reward was actually higher since heavenly source qi was a resource one couldn't buy even if one had the money. It was understandable why the other geniuses loved killing in the Allheaven Battlefield. After all, they couldn't extract heavenly source qi like him.

Furthermore, the heavenly reward was also easier to absorb. He was able to fully process the entire reward in no time. This was much better than meditating in seclusion. Su Yu spread his senses around and confirmed that nobody was around before taking the set of green armor out.

"So can I extract any blood essence from this thing?"

This was his first time encountering a life form like this. He couldn't sense any blood in this corpse. After thinking about it, he produced a clump of flame and started burning the set of armor.

Slowly, the armor started softening. Before long, a drop of green liquid appeared. Su Yu's eyes flickered. Was this the blood of the mystic armor race? It wasn't rare to see a race whose blood wasn't red.

In fact, there were some races who might not even have any blood. The little furball was one such existence. Su Yu had been wanting to get the little furball's blood essence, but he had no way of extracting any.

"Is this poisonous?"

Su Yu was unsure if he could consume the green liquid.

After a short contemplation, he pulled the little furball out and pointed at the green liquid, "Come one. Give it a try. This is something yummy."

"No!"

The little furball refused. That thing smelled terrible.

"Just give it a try. You won't die. It will help you grow stronger. Come on." Su Yu resorted to threats, "If you refuse, I won't give you anything nice to eat in the future!"

The little furball gloomily swallowed the green liquid. After a moment, he made a retching sound as he complained, "Not yummy!"

He then vanished into Su Yu's sea of willpower.

Su Yu was relieved. As long as this thing wasn't poisonous, all was fine. He continued burning the green armor. Before long, another drop of green liquid appeared. He swallowed it without hesitation.

Inside his sea of willpower, the little furball suddenly looked at the darkness deep inside the sea of willpower. He seemed to have noticed a golden glimmer there, but it wasn't too clear. He wanted to go there as he seemed to have smelled something nice for a split second there. But he was also afraid of getting beaten by the book.

While he was hesitating, the golden glimmer vanished.

Mystic armor (Seventh-stage Cloudbreach)

Racial abilities: Armorize (activation with blood essence)

Foundation source art: Armor Ethos Art (activation with blood essence)

Foundation body forging art: 27 Mystic Armor Transformations (activation with blood essence)

Source qi nine transformation art: Earth Armor Mystic Source Transformation (activation with blood essence)

Next, Su Yu consumed another drop of blood essence and activated the Armorize ability. In the blink of an eye, a set of green armor appeared on his body. He gave himself a punch, creating a loud rumble.

"Source qi armor."

After understanding what this was, he frowned slightly. This was no real armor. Instead, it was something formed of source qi. Then again, its defensive properties were quite strong. This was something that might protect his life at a crucial moment.

"The defensive prowess is decent as it's comparable to a profound-grade armor. But...it's not useful for me."

Su Yu shook his head. He already had a peak profound armor. That was something he had received from Zhao Li.

This Armorize ability would be useful for a regular person, but it wasn't too useful for him. But if he used both the ability and his peak profound armor, he could still boost his defensive prowess.

"I guess this is a decent ability."

As for the other abilities, he did not feel like trying them. The source art, body forging art, and source qi transformation art were all useless to him. He already had far stronger alternatives. Suddenly, a new thought came to him. Could he find a weakness in this armor?

If he could, perhaps he could use this weakness against the remaining mystic armors. The golden book might be capable of supplying him with the cultivation methods of the myriad races, but that might not necessarily be the main benefit of the book. More importantly, the book also provided him with a way to discover the weaknesses of the myriad races. After all, studying something for a lifetime might not be comparable to actually becoming the thing he was studying once.

After studying the armor for a bit, Su Yu's face turned pensive. Next, he took out the ruler. The ruler was none other than the Sourcepin Ruler.

Su Yu noted that this was a unique weapon. It was extremely sensitive toward source qi. At the moment, the ruler was white in color. But when Su Yu sent some of his source qi into the ruler, it turned darker in color.

"It's decent, but since I already have my Perception Jade, this is also not too useful for me."

Its range was too small to be useful for him. Finally, Su Yu took out a golden book from Green Armor's storage ring. When he flipped it open, he frowned.

Heavenly Hunt Index!

He had seen one before, but it looked entirely different. The one he saw previously was a copy casually made by the Great Ming consul. But this thing here did not look like a regular copy.

This thing felt more like a weapon forged by a weaponsmith than a regular book. He started skimming through the contents of the book. Suddenly, he frowned.

347th on Yellow Index: Green Armor, mystic armor race, seventh-stage Cloudbreach

Past accomplishments: Killing an eighth-stage Cloudbreach

Green Armor's name had been blacked out in the book.

That signified death.

Su Yu frowned. He had just killed Green Armor not long ago. How did words get out so fast? Furthermore, Green Armor's own index had also been updated to reflect the change. What did that signify? Basically, there was a main index somewhere, and all these indexes in circulation were connected to the main index.

The moment a change was made to the main index, the change would be reflected in all the sub-indexes.

In that case, was Green Armor's death spread by Red Armor and the others, or was the main index capable of somehow sensing the death?

"Heaven-grade weapon!"

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. The main index could very well be a heaven-grade weapon. As for the question of how it had sensed Green Armor's death, the answer might lie in the sub-index in Green Armor's possession.

Su Yu was just about to throw the index away when a sentence formed on it.

"Welcome to the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. This index works similarly to voice transmission talismans. It does not have any surveillance capabilities. Every individual listed in the four indexes would be given a copy of this index. The Heavenly Hunt Index is a natural treasure born in the Allheaven Battlefield. Any life form listed in the Heavenly Hunt Index will have their aura captured by the index. The aura will be kept until the death of the individual in question."

Su Yu frowned. Voice transmission talisman? Screw them! Bullshit. There was no way he was going to buy that lie. He had studied voice transmission talismans extensively before. He was aware that some voice transmission talismans were equipped with surveillance capabilities.

This index could very well be equipped with the ability to constantly pinpoint the location of its holder. It was not a good idea to keep this item on him. Thus, Su Yu produced a clump of flame and burned the index, reducing it into ashes.

"Heavenly Hunt Pavilion? Heavenly Hunt Index?"

Su Yu shook his head. These people couldn't be eradicated despite many attempts by the myriad races. He wondered about the identity of the people controlling this organization. But he was sure that the person who had sent that message to him earlier was most likely someone holding a leadership position in the organization. That was probably someone with access to the main index.

Sure, it might be helpful to carry the index on him. But nothing was more important than his safety. Some of the people listed in the four indexes might be carrying these sub-indexes, but these people could very well be super geniuses who had always moved around openly. For these people, it was no big deal for their whereabouts to be exposed. But that was not the case for Su Yu.

After burning the index, he vanished into thin air. Before long, the other index holders started noticing the change in the index.

3rd on Yellow Index: Cui Lang, weaponsmith, first-stage Cloudbreach, human, genius of Great Ming

Past accomplishments: Killing a seventh-stage Cloudbreach

There was an update!

***

Numerous people were shocked. Cui Lang?

A weaponsmith? A human from Great Ming? When did Great Ming produce a powerhouse weaponsmith like this? Killing a seventh-stage Cloudbreach? Was that even possible? Was that a fluke?

As for the mystery behind the prompt update, a lot of people once wondered about this as well. Eventually, some Invincibles concluded that the Heavenly Hunt Index was most likely a peak heaven or even a divine weapon.

It might be something that has existed in the Allheaven Battlefield since the battlefield came into existence. The people of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion were merely the ones who had found and exploited it for their own benefit.

As long as the members of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion could gather the aura of the people listed on the index, the main index would be able to automatically update the status of these people in the index.

Previously, Su Yu had attempted to tail someone from the Heavenly Hunt Index before fleeing due to the arrival of a Sunmoon. His aura must have been gathered through a special method during that time, allowing the index to start updating his status as well.

This worked similarly to the Hundred Dao Pagoda. Before entering the pagoda, one needed to leave one's name behind. After that, the pagoda would start providing automatic updates on one's progress in the pagoda.

Naturally, Su Yu was unaware of all that. He did not have the index with him, so he naturally didn't know about the change in his ranking. One could never be too careful. Who knew if the index had some other unknown functions?

At the same time.

Vanguard Regiment.

Deputy General Cao was in possession of an index as well. When he noticed the update, his eyes flickered, "Cui Lang?"

How long had it been since that fellow's departure? Had a day even passed? He already killed a seventh-stage Cloudbreach? Since when were Great Ming weaponsmiths so good at fighting?

"Cui Lang, third on the Yellow Index...if it wasn't for his slightly older age, he would have been able to enter the Profound Index with that achievement."

Deputy General Cao was very surprised. But he was also feeling quite helpless. Why was that Great Ming weaponsmith such a show-off? He needed to be careful lest the other geniuses join hands to hunt him down. Nobody would kill someone so strong right after entering the Plain of Desires. He wondered if Cui Lang had sustained serious injuries from that battle.
