Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1231: Main Body (3)

Zhou Mingren shook his head, "Compared to your second granduncle and your father, you are indeed quite lacking in intelligence. Let me tell you one more thing. My student, Zheng Yuming, received his Mountainsea character from the Zhou Family. An artificially grown Mountainsea character. And how many years have it been? In less than fifty years, Zhou Polong has reached a level enough to produce Mountainsea characters after restarting the research from scratch. I also suspect that he might be capable of producing even Sunmoon characters."

Zhou Mingren continued, "How about his father? Human characters are unable to reach the Invincible Realm. But there is no such restriction for myriad race characters. Perhaps his father had produced even Invincible characters back then. As long as it's not a human character, anything is possible."

Noticing Xia Huyou's blank gaze, Zhou Mingren continued helplessly, "You...need to work on your intelligence. When an Invincible dies, a massive phenomenon will be produced. But who can guarantee that such a phenomenon can't be forged? For example, what would happen if one detonated an Invincible character? What if one sacrifices a tri-life body for it? The tri-life body of an Invincible?"

Finally, Xia Huyou's expression changed.

Zhou Mingren said, "Naturally, this is only my speculation. I have no proof. It won't be so easy to produce an Invincible character. Zhou Polong has been working hard in this direction for many years. I suspect that he might have guessed something as well. Is his father...really dead?"

Xia Huyou's heart skipped a beat. He said, "The traitor has appeared. Principal Wan is enough to deal with him. It matters not whether Junior Zhou King is still alive or not."

"No!" Zhou Mingren shook his head and said, "You're still not getting the point. Even if his death back then was fake, he wouldn't have enough time to kill Ye Batian. The attacker might be someone else instead."

Xia Huyou frowned, "Are you suggesting that there are two traitors among the Invincibles? Are you trying to say that he might have faked his death, but he wasn't the one who had killed the fifth principal? So he's still hiding somewhere while we only have the fifth principal's killer here? Is all this a guess?"

Zhou Mingren nodded, "Yes. I believe he faked his death."

"Why? What's the point?"

Zhou Mingren shook his head, "I have no answer to that. After all, I'm only speculating here. Also, to fake his death successfully, it is likely that he will require the help of the myriad race Invincibles. Of course, there is always a possibility that he is indeed dead and I'm merely being too imaginative. Or his act was realistic enough to fool even the myriad race Invincibles who were aiding him. He might not necessarily be a traitor as well, but what was his motive? And where is he hiding?"

"Why did you not speak of this before?"

Zhou Mingren smiled, "It's only a guess. It might be wrong. I don't want to mislead anyone, right? Consider this the rambling of someone without long to live."

At that, his aura started weakening as his body started falling apart. Eventually, only his sea of willpower was left. His voice rang out from the sea of willpower, "I don't know if anyone else from the Zhou Family has the same guess. I only hope that the Zhou Family...isn't the traitor. Can you keep my sea of willpower around until the traitor reveals himself? Allow me to die with less confusion..."

Then, he stopped speaking. All that was left of him was a dim ball of light. Xia Huyou frowned before sending all he had learned to his seniors. It did not matter if Zhou Mingren was wrong. It wouldn't hurt to warn his seniors of any potential variable.

So the Junior Zhou King might still be alive? Even if he was still alive, that did not necessarily mean that he was the traitor. But if he had really faked his death, he must be planning something major.

At the same time.

Wan Tiansheng landed another sword strike on the mysterious Invincible, causing the Invincible to cough blood endlessly.

He coldly said, "You won't last long unless you have your main body here."

As he said that, he turned around to push Devil King Lade back with yet another sword strike.

The aura of the mysterious Invincible roiled as he said in fury, "Wan Tiansheng, do you really think yourself capable of killing me?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Wan Tiansheng answered nonchalantly, "You're only here in a tri-life body. Do you think I can't handle a mere tri-life body?"

He attacked repeatedly, creating more and more wounds on the body of the mysterious Invincible. As for Devil King Lade, he was putting less and less effort into the fight. Or to be precise, he was starting to consider withdrawal.

As he thought of escape, he glanced at the nearby ruin. He only wanted to grab two carrier treasures before fleeing. As for the Culture Tomb, he was ready to give up on it. He was lucky Wan Tiansheng was still focused on the human traitor. He wouldn't have lasted too long against Wan Tiansheng otherwise.

As for the traitor, he was getting more and more furious. Wan Tiansheng was getting too cocky. But Wan Tiansheng was also unreasonably strong.

Damn it!

"You’re pushing me too far! Don’t regret this!"

With an indignant roar by the Invincible, the River of Time spilled out of thin air. He was in a weakened state, but Wan Tiansheng did not take advantage of that. Rather, he waited indifferently as he said, "I'm waiting for you to complete assembling your main body. Do you think I'm joking?"

"You asked for this!"

Finally, the River of Time moved beyond the Human Realm. Wan Tiansheng was only preventing an escape, but he was not preventing the formation of the main body.

The Invincible had lost his calm from the beating he had received. His identity would be exposed after losing his tri-life body anyway. In that case, he might as well assemble his main body and fight properly.

At the same time.

Allheaven Battlefield.

Great Zhou King's expression changed as he looked toward the nearby Invincibles who were spread out in a defensive position.

The River of Time had appeared beside one of them.

Clearly, the river had traversed realms to arrive here.

Great Zhou King asked emotionlessly, "Why?"

The said Invincible started stepping into the river while answering furiously, "No reason. As I said, that was merely a personal grudge. Why must all of you force me so? I only wanted Ye Batian dead. If Liu Wenyan had obediently destroyed his characters, the matter would have ended with his death."

Great Zhou King merely sighed at the response. Meanwhile, the myriad race Invincibles started standing in the way of the other human Invincibles, preventing them from obstructing the departure of the traitor.

One of the myriad race Invincibles laughed, "What a surprise. So it was you, Fiery Sea?"

With the same calm, Great Zhou King asked, "Is your personal grudge with Ye Batian that big? Why wasn't I aware of it?"

From the River of Time, Fiery Sea King replied coldly, "Of course you were unaware. You, the controller of the Knowledge Seeking Realm. Yet apart from focusing on the reactivation of the suppressive force, you have neglected all your duties. Ye Batian had humiliated me several times in the past, but clearly, that was beneath your concern."

Great Zhou King replied, "That is not a good enough reason for you to kill him during his dao affirmation."

"You're wrong. For me, that is more than enough."

Fiery Sea King said, "I told you it was only a personal grudge. But again and again, all of you forced my hand! Ye Batian was too arrogant. If someone like him was allowed to become the hero responsible for reactivating the suppressive force, people like me will no longer have any peace of mind. He must die. Many shared this opinion. But I was the only one brave enough to take action."

Great Zhou King sighed, "You were used as a chess piece. Someone instigated you. Am I right?"

"What a joke." Fiery Sea King countered, "Nobody is capable of that. All who had ever humiliated me had paid with their lives. Hahaha! Great Zhou King, I was also the one who had sold out your younger brother. At this point, I have nothing else to fear!"

With a tired sigh, Great Zhou King said, "Foolish."

"Your younger brother humiliated me before as well! All of you deserve death!"

"Fiery Sea...fiery rage boundless as the sea. You have an inauspicious name."

Great Zhou King sighed and shook his head. As he still needed to continue serving as the dao protector of the humans attempting their dao affirmations, he did not give chase. Fiery Sea King had too explosive a temper. Someone like that had the tendency to die cluelessly.

Great Zhou King did not spare Fiery Sea King another glance. Rather, he looked at Zhou Polong, who nodded at him without saying anything.

Nanyuan.

The aura of the mysterious Invincible surged abruptly.

Two silhouettes walked out of the River of Time before fusing into one. The faceless Invincible was no longer faceless. His face was revealed to all.

Silence descended.

When Zhang Qi saw the traitor's face, he sighed and shut his eyes, saying nothing else. Those around him hurriedly distanced themselves from him.

Wan Tiansheng sighed as well, "Fiery Sea King. So it's really you. I know you have a fiery temper, but I have never suspected that you're the traitor."

Fiery Sea King replied coldly, "Wan Tiansheng, it's pointless to say more. The multiple character faction will pay the price for having the audacity to humiliate an Eternal."

Wan Tiansheng said, "I was there back then. Senior Brother Batian was indeed overbearing, but he never intended to humiliate you. I believed that as an Eternal, you would eventually understand my senior brother's intent. But instead...you killed him."

Fiery Sea King countered furiously, "Intent? In front of all of you, he fought and injured me before criticizing my ability. At the time, I assumed that it was only a regular spar. But eventually, I learned that he had been running around talking badly about me. He claimed that my characters were weak and my body was fragile. That was supposed to be a private spar, but he spread the results everywhere. He even sent me a second challenge discreetly, declaring that he would trample all over me. During the second spar, he destroyed my character. How could I let someone that arrogant live? How could I forgive him?"

Wan Tiansheng frowned, "You fought a second time?"

Fiery Sea King spoke angrily, "The two of you must think me a patient saint to tolerate such a level of insult. I could kill Ye Batian in the past. Today, I'll finish the job and take your life as well."

A fiery sea appeared in the sky as Fiery Sea King roared, "I'll show you what it means to have a rage capable of burning the sea! Ye Batian is dead. All of you will die as well!"

An Invincible had arrived in his full form.

And a massive battle erupted.
