Supreme Warrior in the City

At this point, Su Zhan took a deep breath and continued in a serious tone: ”Once this person is reborn, he is very likely to extract the power of Devouring the World from us as well. The final result is that he doesn’t need to cultivate here in the cosmos, yet unknown numbers of people are helping him to cultivate power. He doesn’t need to cultivate, but his strength is rising rapidly. This is the most terrifying thing!”

Su Yang was shocked; if this were true, the master of Devouring the World would indeed be a figure of hero level. The method he used is simply unimaginable.

Su Yang couldn’t help but recall that illusion, with eyes that overlooked all beings, and now thinking back, why does it feel somewhat terrifying?

Moreover, the illusion’s weapon is the Heaven-Slaying Blade, the king of all Divine Artifacts that all must submit to.

Who can resist such a powerful existence?

”Is there... any way to break free from this Secret Technique?” Su Yang quickly asked.

Su Zhan shook his head: ”Once you cultivate it, it’s like a bone parasite, impossible to get rid of. Whether you use this Secret Technique or not, Devouring the World will automatically absorb your power to replenish its own. So, unless you die, the power of Devouring the World will always be rooted in you, absorbing your power to enhance its own.”

”Doesn’t this mean we can never escape this Secret Technique!?” Su Yang said in shock.

Su Zhan nodded helplessly; he only discovered this after entering the Demon Abyss.

Looking at the black aura in front of him, Su Yang was extremely shocked.

After a long time, Su Yang suddenly said: ”The master of Devouring the World should be an extremely powerful being!”

”Definitely!” Su Zhan nodded.

”He possesses the Heaven-Slaying Blade, the king of Divine Artifacts. A single roar, and the Heavenly Sect submits. Who could have defeated him to such a state?” Su Yang looked at the black aura in front, exclaiming: ”Who could possibly have killed him?”

Su Zhan was perplexed: ”What Heaven-Slaying Blade, what king of Divine Artifacts? What roar makes the Heavenly Sect submit?”

”Uh...” Su Yang said: ”The illusion from Devouring the World has a blade, that’s the Heaven-Slaying Blade!”

”What... what illusion!?” Su Zhan was amazed, puzzled: ”And what blade?”

”Huh?” Su Yang was also confused: ”It’s the illusion that appears after we cultivate Devouring the World...”

”When did the illusion appear!?” Su Zhan looked at Su Yang in shock.

Su Yang’s eyes widened, suddenly realizing that his cultivation situation might be different from Su Zhan’s?

”It’s the illusion from Devouring the World...” Su Yang hurriedly recounted his cultivation experience.

After listening, Su Zhan was stunned. As Su Yang had suspected, the situation after their cultivation was completely different.

There was no illusion on Su Zhan, nor any Heaven-Slaying Blade; he had no idea about such matters.

As for the roar that made the Heavenly Sect retreat, Su Zhan simply wouldn’t know.

”What’s going on?” Su Zhan asked curiously: ”Why are our cultivation situations completely different?”

Su Yang was also at a loss; this situation was too strange.

Su Zhan pondered for a while, his face suddenly changed, speaking in a trembling voice: ”Could it be... the master of Devouring the World intends to use you as a Furnace!?”

”Ah?” Su Yang’s eyes widened, immediately saying: ”No way? There are so many people in the cosmos with much higher talent than mine. Besides, my strength in here should only be considered mid-to-low level; my power of Devouring the World is not strong. Why would he choose me as a Furnace!?”

”If not you, then why... why would there be such an illusion behind you?” Su Zhan said: ”I suspect that this illusion is the soul of the master of Devouring the World, condensing bit by bit. And that Heaven-Slaying Blade is his weapon, already pre-condensed!”

”No way?” Su Yang was shocked, though he said so, he was quite nervous inside. Because what Su Zhan said was very possible.

Su Zhan frowned deeply, saying sternly: ”No matter what, we must be wary of this. Even if he doesn’t intend to use you as a Furnace, you must be extremely careful. When the master of Devouring the World starts extracting his power, it will likely cost us dearly, perhaps even turning us into sacrifices. Therefore, I suggest that you should never easily use the Secret Technique of Devouring the World, nor cultivate this move again!”

Su Yang pondered for a while, nodding slowly. Actually, he had long suspected that the illusion summoned by Devouring the World was strange, always pondering what exactly was going on.

Now, with Su Zhan’s words, he couldn’t help but become vigilant.

If the master of Devouring the World truly intended to use them as a Furnace, then continuing cultivation would be courting death.

Looking at the black aura before him, Su Yang’s heart was also unsettled. These figures from ancient times were no simple characters!

”How did such a powerful person die?” Su Yang wondered aloud.

Su Zhan shrugged; he didn’t know either.

Su Yang pondered for a while, suddenly remembering the three Crystal Skulls on his back. He immediately turned his head, noticing the three Crystal Skulls with their eyes closed, scattered on his back, looking like three lifeless skeleton frames.

Su Yang couldn’t help but be speechless. These three guys, even here, wanted to play dead to get by!

”Alright, stop pretending, we’re already outside the palace!” Su Yang called out.

”Really?” The Second City Lord immediately opened his eyes, excitedly saying: ”Great, we finally didn’t get beaten up this time...”

Before he could finish, the Second City Lord’s eyes widened. He realized they were still inside the palace, not outside.

He glared at Su Yang with a hint of grievance, immediately lying back again, attempting to continue playing dead.

”Stop pretending!” Su Yang grabbed his arm: ”It’s safe here. If they really planned to deal with you, even if you played dead with your eyes shut, could they not detect your energy? Pretending is useless. Face it bravely, didn’t you notice nobody made a move?”

The Second City Lord glanced around, feeling quite relieved. As Su Yang said, if the being inside truly wanted to deal with them, playing dead would be meaningless.
