Chapter 2151: Cultured Tiger Reunion, Subduing Heavenly Fate (3)

Su Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "March and Giant Axe have both joined me. Apart from them, Fat Ball has also grown stronger. South Heavenly King is already a Venerable. If Heavenly Fate Marquis is willing to join me, I'll have a healthy number of Venerables on my side as well."

He added, "Lan Tian isn't that far from a Venerable either."

At that, a certain realization hit Heavenly Fate Marquis as his head snapped toward Lan Tian, shock on his face. Lan Tian was not dead! He had completely forgotten about this! Only now did he notice that Lan Tian had also grown stronger than before. Since Lan Tian wasn't dead, what about the others?

He hurriedly asked, "In that case, which among those people are really dead?"

"Nobody died." Su Yu took a sip of tea and smiled. "Humanity is much more enigmatic than you can imagine. Nobody died. Not even Shadow and the other fellows died. Instead, everyone has grown stronger."

"..."

Heavenly Fate Marquis was completely stunned.

Nobody died?

How was that possible?

They had killed a Venerable, many heavenly kings, and even more Daofuses. And now, he was claiming that they didn't lose a single person doing that.

Su Yu laughed, "Is that really so hard to believe? Since you have Endless Passage with you, you should know that I'm not a fool. Why would I attack Yue Hao and the others if it would result in the loss of my people? That's stupid."

Su Yu grinned, "I only did that to showcase the prowess of Control King's lineage and remove the myriad races' gaze on me."

Heavenly Fate Marquis gasped, "Well done, Emperor Yu."

"No." Su Yu shook his head, "There's nothing impressive about that. I had to resort to such tricks due to a lack of strength. It was an act of desperation."

Heavenly Fate Marquis said, "May I ask...for the purpose of your current visit?"

"I'm here to see this tiger." Su Yu smiled, "I'll be returning to the Upper Realm soon. But first, I need to have a chat with Brother Tiger lest he ruins my plan."

The tiger laughed awkwardly and said, "Why would I do so?"

Su Yu asked curiously, "So why are you here? I'm very curious. You're not dumb. Don't tell me you're here to enjoy the show. I heard that you came for the Hell Gate. Are you thinking of going in? But if that's your goal, you're better off waiting for the myriad races and Control King's lineage to start fighting before sneaking through. But now, you're preventing the fight between them. Why?"

Yes. That seemed to be what the tiger and dragon were doing.

The tiger laughed and said, "No..."

Su Yu cut the tiger off, "If you don't feel like telling the truth, so be it. Of course, I have my own plans at play as well. And those with the courage to stand in my way might all die regardless of how strong they are."

"..."

The tiger sank into silence. Was this a threat?

Perhaps.

After a short pause, he said, "I don't intend to make myself your enemy. Yes, we're here for the Hell Gate. The disturbance you caused previously alarmed even the Hell Gate. Some willpower transmissions were sent out of the gate during the disturbance."

He thought about it and continued, "Furthermore, someone seems to be trying to break through the seal by force. The Hell Gate has yet to open, but it's loosening up like many things that are loosening recently. Therefore, some of the beings inside can leave earlier."

Su Yu nodded.

The tiger continued, "You alarmed some of the beings in there. They have been trying to join forces and help one of their Masters of Laws leave earlier.

"The chaos is sealed. It is unlikely that this candidate is a chaos beast. It is likely to be someone from Control King's lineage. A Master of Law from that lineage."

Su Yu's eyes flickered as he looked at Heavenly Fate Marquis. Was this the same woman who had spoken previously? The being who had caused even Venerable Corona to cower? Was she coming out of the gate soon?

Su Yu asked doubtfully, "And how is this any of your business?"

The tiger explained, "It is certainly my business. The dragon and I are both chaos beasts. The chaos will from inside the gate will result in a suppression on us when we meet her. We might even fall under her control. Therefore, the two of us plan to swallow her chaos will."

"..."

Su Yu blanked out. "You're thinking of...killing her?"

"Yes!"

The tiger was being truthful as he knew that the two before him were aligned against Control King's lineage.

Heavenly Fate Marquis asked, "In that case, why are you preventing the battle from happening?"

The tiger said, "You can't start fighting now. Control King's lineage is required for that person to leave as well. They are playing a big role in this. Since that being is one of them, they will need to expend a lot of power helping her out. But with a raging battle, they won't be able to focus on helping that person out anymore.

"Therefore, we are gathering a large number of chaos beasts here in preparation to kill that person the moment they are out."

Heavenly Fate Marquis said, "In that case, we can cooperate. Why don't you work with the myriad races?"

The tiger was quite speechless. He said, "You're quite dumb. Why would I waste my time hosting you for several days here if I don't want to work with the myriad races? But first, we have to display our worth. And there is no rush. We're planning to drag things out until that person is out before joining hands with you guys. This will prevent you guys from attacking them in advance."

Su Yu said, "But they will have a Master of Law on their side when that happens."

The tiger nodded, "Exactly. We won't be interested if it's not a Master of Law. Both of us are already near that level. Before he was injured by you, Emperor Su, that chaos dragon was actually slightly stronger than me."

"What?"

Heavenly Fate Marquis was alarmed. The injuries on that dragon... were caused by Su Yu?

Su Yu frowned slightly, while Heavenly Fate Marquis' expression turned helpless. This was truly unbelievable. It was said that even now, that dragon was comparable to Venerable Corona in strength.

Yet the dragon had sustained his injuries from Su Yu?

This was truly too hard to believe.

The tiger ignored Heavenly Fate Marquis. He wouldn't have spoken the truth if Su Yu weren't here. He said, "We plan to start working with the myriad races only after that person is out. We will deal with that Master of Law while the myriad races can fight Control King's lineage. The myriad races will happily accept this proposal since Masters of Laws are far harder to handle. And we will be needing their help to deal with Control King's lineage as well."

"The timing must be right." The tiger said, "If we join the myriad races too early, they will attack in advance. That person won't be able to leave. But if we're too late, the Master of Law will be able to recover and rapidly regain much of their strength. Thus, we need to time this perfectly."

Heavenly Fate Marquis felt like crying.

Good heavens!

Even chaos beasts had learned to scheme. They had been deliberately dragging things out to buy time.

The tiger said, "Therefore, we are going to prevent the battle from happening for now. Upon success, both of us stand a chance at advancing into proper Masters of Laws."

He looked at Su Yu and continued, "I'm only telling you all this because Emperor Su is here and he is strong enough to ruin our plan."

Su Yu smiled, "I see. Are you certain you can advance after swallowing that fellow?"

"Yes." The tiger nodded and said, "The will of some ancient beings will remain on her after the time she spent behind the gate. We will definitely advance after swallowing her. More importantly, the beings behind the gate won't be able to do anything to us even after that."

"We can't wait for the rest of the beings to leave the gate as we won't have the chance to do it anymore with them around."

Su Yu rubbed his chin and said, "In other words, you, us, and the myriad races share the same goal: to exterminate Control King's lineage. You wish to get rid of their Master of Law. That is what we want as well."

Su Yu smiled. "There is a reason for us to cooperate. This is a good thing."

Heavenly Fate Marquis wanted to say something, but he hesitated. He was worried that this cooperation would only create a stronger enemy for them. When the two beasts grew into Masters of Laws, they would become tricky opponents. Even now, the two beasts were already extremely strong.

Seemingly having guessed his thoughts, Su Yu said, "What are you afraid of? Brother Heavenly Fate, so what if two new Masters of Laws appear? There are already quite a lot of them around. Martial Emperor and Death Imperator are both Masters of Laws. Hundred Battle is probably as strong as one. That woman from Control King's lineage is one. I don't know about the myriad races, but I'll be one soon as well. What is there to fear? With two additional Masters of Laws, things will get even more interesting."

Heavenly Fate Marquis exclaimed in shock, "Emperor Yu, you mean..."

"I mean nothing."

Suddenly, Su Yu reached out. Heavenly Fate Marquis vanished in alarm, but his surroundings were fully sealed, blocking his path out. That was followed by an intense suppression of a myriad daos.

Everything happened in a split second, and Su Yu pulled his hand back right after. With a smile, he asked, "How was it, Brother Heavenly Fate?"

Heavenly Fate Marquis had a look of overwhelming shock.

"Too strong."

That was not all. He could barely sense any power fluctuations when Su Yu moved. Why was that?

The tiger was not surprised. He said, "Emperor Su has grown even stronger after your Creation."

Su Yu laughed, "I'm not that special. I reckon I'm the weakest Creator ever. I'm even weaker than a proper Master of Law. I suppose I'm only good enough to handle that dragon and the Ancestor from Control King's lineage. I'm not scared of that Corona guy, but Martial Emperor, Death Imperator, the person behind the Hell Gate, and Hundred Battle are probably all stronger than me.

"If we grade all the powerhouses we know of, those four are first-grade powerhouses. The chaos dragon, Control King's Ancestor, and I are in the next grade. Brother Tiger, Corona, Fat Ball, and South Heavenly King probably come after."

Heavenly Fate Marquis was not included among the three grades. He was finding it hard to stay calm. Were there still so many powerhouses around? Venerable Corona was already the peak powerhouse of the myriad races. But even someone like that was only a third-grade powerhouse.

Had South Heavenly King and Fat Ball really grown enough to rival him? Heavenly Fate Marquis was unsure. Of the eleven listed powerhouses, three were from Su Yu's side.

Of course, the myriad races could potentially be hiding more powerhouses at Venerable Corona's level. The immortals and devils were probably hiding one such powerhouse each. In short, there were at least thirteen super powerhouses remaining.

The tiger thought about it and said, "That divine sun devouring hound was weaker than me. Are you saying that he has grown as well, Emperor Su?"

Su Yu nodded, "Of course. I need to thank you for letting me know about his true form. That was key to his recent growth. With his shoe, he is now strong enough to fight you evenly. Or perhaps he might even gain an advantage over you in combat."

The tiger spoke with envy, "That's truly a great shoe. In that case, your force has indeed grown significantly stronger, Emperor Su."

He was being very polite. He did not dare to offend Su Yu. He knew just how ferocious Su Yu's faction was.

Numerous thoughts flooded Heavenly Fate Marquis' mind. After a long while, he said, "Emperor Yu, how will I rank among your people?"

Su Yu laughed, "Let's see..."

Su Yu, South Heavenly King, and Fat Ball were all slightly stronger than Heavenly Fate Marquis. There were also Giant Axe Marquis, March, Heavenly Fire, and Marquis Lanshan among his top subordinates.

After some thought, Su Yu said, "You're very strong, Brother Heavenly Fate. Your rank will be dependent on the location. Anywhere else, you are probably similar in strength with Senior March, who are only second to the strongest powerhouses in our faction. But when we're somewhere else, Heavenly Fire is probably stronger."

Heavenly Fire?

Who the fuck was that? Why was there a new name?

Su Yu was speaking the truth. Heavenly Fire was already a Venerable after taking back his essence from the Celestial River of Death. Subsequently, he had fused into Su Yu's fire dao, becoming the master of that dao. He had yet to grow into a proper Master of Law, but he was probably stronger than Heavenly Fate Marquis in Su Yu's world.

Heavenly Fate Marquis was feeling quite helpless. So even a Venerable like him could hardly rank top five in Su Yu's faction? And he still needed to compete against March to barely enter the top five?

Good heavens!

When did Su Yu's faction become so powerful?

To the side, Lan Tian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, even that will change soon. I'm near a breakthrough, and Tiansheng is near as well. Great Zhou King has been staying low profile, but I believe he's near too. When we grow into Venerables, there is no promise that we will be weaker than the older Venerables. Those old guys are mostly at their limit, but we have plenty of room for growth."

He added, "Also, you are forgetting that person. The one walking the path of life and death."

Su Yu smiled and said, "She's not around, so there's no need to mention her. In fact, she will be stronger than even me if she's available."

"..."

Speechless.

Heavenly Fate Marquis was left completely speechless. They must be bluffing, right?

He couldn't be sure.

If they were being truthful, it would signify that Su Yu's side had grown terrifyingly powerful. Even now, it was already terrifyingly powerful.

March, Giant Axe Marquis, Su Yu, Fat Ball, and Heavenly Fate Marquis himself would form a group of five Venerables. That alone was already a significant force nobody would dare to underestimate.

After a short while, Heavenly Fate Marquis said, "Ultimately, Fateless is the leader of the fate race. If he has chosen to join you...Can you arrange a meeting between Fateless and me? I'll make my choice then."

A single meeting with Fateless would be enough to determine if Su Yu was really speaking the truth here.

Su Yu smiled, "Sure. Let's make it happen within three days. Find a way to go deep into the chaotic space and avoid all eyes on you. Fateless will be there."

Fine.

A different realization was dawning on Heavenly Fate Marquis.

Deep into the chaotic space.

Fateless would be there.

This was hinting at a certain terrifying fact. Su Yu had discovered a brand new route from the Lower Realm to the Upper Realm. One that nobody else was aware of.
