Supreme Warrior in the City

Upon hearing the words ”Saint Emperor,” these demon beasts immediately became obedient.

The command of the Saint Emperor—who would dare defy it? Not only these Saint Venerables, even Saint Kings must behave themselves.

”This... this is too frustrating!” one Saint Venerable said unwillingly.

”No need to be frustrated!” Jinghong Saint King said softly, ”The Saint Emperors have their own considerations in doing such things. This won’t last long. You can rest assured, soon enough, it might be time for us to launch a full counterattack. Then, huh, you can freely slay them. Wouldn’t that be enough?”

Upon hearing this, the Saint Venerables were overjoyed and cheered in unison.

Su Yang stood by observing all this, but his mind was constantly calculating.

Undoubtedly, the Demon Beast Clan and the Guardian God are actually in hostile states and even have enmity. It’s just that the Demon Beast Clan fears the Guardian God, so they have never dared to confront the Guardian God, only holding back their resentment.

Now, with Jinghong Saint King saying they will kill Beast Tamers in the future, these demon beasts naturally became extremely delighted as they had long desired to do such things.

Receiving Jinghong Saint King’s orders, all the Saint Venerables departed.

Su Yang quickly returned to Liu Yao City; he had been away for quite some time. Nevertheless, there was no change whatsoever in Liu Yao City; everything remained as usual.

Long Qiu’s cultivation speed was average, but he was very adept at managing. Under his management, everything in Liu Yao City was orderly; Su Yang had nothing to worry about.

After returning to Liu Yao City, Su Yang immediately issued orders, summoning the Saint Beasts under his command to Liu Yao City. He conveyed Jinghong Saint King’s orders to them, instructing those Saint Beasts to send out their subordinates and monitor those Beast Tamers in batches.

After all, the strength of the Beast Tamers is Saint-level, so to keep watch on them, it certainly requires Saint Beasts to come forward.

After giving instructions, Su Yang let these Saint Beasts leave. In fact, only those demon beasts left—the Saint Beasts impersonated by the Nine Realms did not leave and were kept by Su Yang.

Su Yang also instructed Long Qiu to send out messages, gathering the members of the Nine Realms pretending to be Saint Venerables in other areas and telling them about Jinghong Saint King’s orders.

”The Demon Beast Clan has actually started monitoring Beast Tamers, indicating they are preparing to deal with them.” Saint Venerable Yuqing was delighted upon hearing Su Yang’s words, ”This is good news for us. With the demon beasts and Beast Tamers matching against each other, they won’t have the resources to deal with the Nine Realms. We’re finally safe!”

Everyone nodded repeatedly, sharing the unusual joy, as it was, indeed, good news for the Nine Realms.

However, Su Yang was not particularly joyful; when everyone calmed down, he recounted his experience at Jinghong Saint King’s place, specifically how Jinghong Saint King took him to watch the demon beast siege of the White Jade Realm.

That is an intermediate world, a whole star domain combined makes up the White Jade Realm.

Su Yang estimated at the time how vast this star domain is—probably a million times larger than the Nine Realms.

And even a world this large is only an intermediate world.

The most crucial part is that this world was exterminated by the Demon Beast Clan.

Listening to Su Yang recounting the demon beasts entering and devouring the creatures of the White Jade Realm, everyone around fell silent.

They had heard of demon beasts devouring worlds before, but they didn’t know how it was done or how cruel such things could be.

Now, after Su Yang narrated those events, they realized the brutality of the demon beasts’ assault.

”Do humans really have no power to resist in front of the demon beasts and the Guardian God?” Mahakaya couldn’t help asking.

Everyone looked at Su Yang, who frowned and said softly, ”In this universe, strength is paramount. If we have enough strength, neither demon beasts nor Guardian God can make us fearful!”

Everyone was silent; there was truth to these words. But the question is, how powerful must they be to rival the demon beasts and the Guardian God?

The White Jade Realm had three Human Race Saint Emperors, yet it was still destroyed by the Demon Beast Clan.

The Nine Realms is not even a millionth of the White Jade Realm—how many experts can it produce? Even if some among them could reach the Saint Emperor level, how does it compare to the Demon Beast Clan and the Guardian God?

Moreover, advancing to the Saint Emperor realm isn’t an easy task.

Su Yang has the support of Devouring the World; even then, it took years to reach the Peak of a Saint Venerable. Due to Devouring the World, his cultivation speed was hundreds or thousands of times faster than others—and this progress is slow. Others may need tens of thousands of years to reach the Saint King Realm; how can they match the Demon Beast Clan and Guardian God’s centuries of accumulation?

”Regardless, we must accelerate our cultivation speed!” Su Yang said solemnly, ”In the Endless Starry Sky, only strength represents everything. If we lack strength, we become someone else’s food!”

Everyone nodded, acknowledging that increasing their strength is indeed the most important task.

”How is the situation in the Nine Realms these days?” Su Yang asked.

”It’s about the same as before; the Beast Tamers are still attacking the Nine Realms, but there are no Sub-Saint Beasts, so the attack doesn’t pose much threat!” Ye Wantong replied.

”That’s good!” Su Yang nodded; if the situation in the Nine Realms could remain like this, they still have plenty of time to continue cultivating.

”In the coming period, everyone should accelerate their cultivation. If there’s any change in the Nine Realms, inform me immediately!” Su Yang instructed solemnly, ”Given that the Demon Beast Clan has begun monitoring the Beast Tamers, we might use this to our advantage. If necessary, we can incite conflict between the Demon Beast Clan and Beast Tamers, allowing them to fight first, buying time for the Nine Realms!”

Everyone nodded, highly agreeing with Su Yang’s proposal.

In fact, these individuals wanted to provoke a conflict between the Demon Beast Clan and Beast Tamers now. However, after previous events, Su Yang felt it’s best not to proceed with that.

After all, the strength of the Beast Tamers and Demon Beast Clan is formidable. If a conflict is stirred and escalates, the Nine Realms are likely to be shattered in the aftermath of the battle, which isn’t worthwhile.

Therefore, until the situation deteriorates, maintaining the current state is preferable. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, this approach should not be altered!

Then, Su Yang distributed some Spiritual Sources among everyone, encouraging them to go back and speed up their cultivation.

The Spiritual Source from the Unihorn Saint Venerable was given to Ye Wantong; she is the fastest progressing among the Saint Venerables. If she can regain the former glory of the Female Sword Saint, she might be able to counter the powerful Heavenly Warriors of the Guardian God!
