Supreme Warrior in the City

This Great World, in the end, is not something Su Yang and the others can consider for the time being. Protecting the people before them is their most critical task.

The Nine Realms are where Su Yang and the others originate. When their strength was insufficient, they simply didn’t have time to consider the matters of this Great World, and could only first safeguard the Nine Realms.

As for the matters of the Great World, the entirety of the Human Clan, they must at least cultivate to the level of Saint Emperor to even begin considering.

After discussing with Saint Venerable Yuqing, Su Yang coordinated with the other Nine Realms cultivators practicing in the Endless Starry Sky, including the Saint Venerables, to return together to the Nine Realms and start considering moving the cultivation sites to the World Melting Furnace.

Of course, this change of cultivation site does not mean sending all cultivators into the World Melting Furnace.

Because, the Guardian God would surely send Beast Tamers to periodically observe the Earth Principle’s release situation in the Nine Realms. If all cultivators entered the World Melting Furnace and the Earth Principle of the Nine Realms ceased to release completely, the Beast Tamers would definitely find it odd, and if they investigated thoroughly, it would be troublesome.

Therefore, in the end, only nine-tenths of the cultivators could be sent into the World Melting Furnace, while the remaining one-tenth continued to cultivate in the Nine Realms. This way, with fewer people, the Earth Principle of the Nine Realms won’t be released too quickly.

Of course, for safety reasons, to prevent Beast Tamers from noticing the sudden decrease in the number of cultivators in the Nine Realms, Su Yang and the others launched a ruse of a grand battle across the Nine Realms.

Su Yang, along with all the Saint Venerables, created an even larger Investiture of the Gods, enveloping the Nine Realms. Then, they crafted a situation for the cultivators of the Nine Realms to start a battle. Those killed in the battle would be absorbed into the Investiture of the Gods, where their bodies were rebuilt, restoring them to their former selves.

However, from the outside, it appeared that the person had already died in battle, completely ceasing to exist. This way, even the Beast Tamers couldn’t see any issues.

The chaos lasted for a full seven years, and the battle finally concluded. As Su Yang and the others had planned beforehand, nine-tenths of the cultivators entered the Investiture of the Gods.

Afterwards, Su Yang and the others sent these cultivators into the World Melting Furnace to cultivate, minimizing the release of the Nine Realms’ Earth Principle.

Once all these matters were resolved clearly, Su Yang finally returned to the Endless Starry Sky.

For the time being, the matters of farming can be set aside, and Su Yang must now focus entirely on enhancing the strength of the Nine Realms.

Previously in the Endless Starry Sky, Su Yang had already set his sights on a Saint King.

This Saint King was named Green Cicada Saint King, residing in the Tiandu Dynasty, not far from the Luan Yu Dynasty, consistently having unfriendly relations with the Luan Yu Dynasty, occasionally erupting into conflicts.

And this Green Cicada Saint King is known for having rather ruthless methods, bearing considerable vendetta against the Luan Yu Dynasty.

Once, Jinghong Saint King took Su Yang to witness the two major Demon Beast Dynasties annihilate the White Jade Realm, and this Green Cicada Saint King was present, mocking and taunting Su Yang at the time.

The choice to target him mainly lies in the fact that this Saint King has always been at odds with other Saint Kings. Moreover, he conveniently resides at the junction between the two dynasties, making it relatively easier to frame him towards the Luan Yu Dynasty. The third reason is to reciprocate Jinghong Saint King.

Although Jinghong Saint King is a member of the Demon Beast Clan, he is also a genuinely magnanimous person. In the Demon Beast Clan, Su Yang received quite a bit of his care. If not for different allegiances, Su Yang would have certainly regarded him as a brother!

Having made up his mind, Su Yang once again transformed into a Demon Beast and quietly sneaked into Green Cicada Saint King’s Qingchuan City.

Su Yang suppressed his power, so that even Green Cicada Saint King couldn’t possibly detect his presence.

Upon entering Qingchuan City, Su Yang realized that Green Cicada Saint King was not in the city.

Su Yang eavesdropped on a conversation among Green Cicada Saint King’s trusted aides and learned that the Green Cicada Saint King had gone out to handle something extremely important.

Su Yang wasn’t concerned about what Green Cicada Saint King was up to; given that he wasn’t in Qingchuan City, it was all the more opportune. Killing him outside, with fewer witnesses, meant Su Yang could conveniently retreat.

Eavesdropping on the location where Green Cicada Saint King was undertaking his task, Su Yang quietly headed over.

Green Cicada Saint King was not operating within the Demon Beast Clan’s territory, but had gone outside the Demon Beast Land. Su Yang ripped through space over a dozen times before arriving at the location.

However, Su Yang didn’t rush over but stayed far away, quietly surveying the situation there.

Watching for a while, Su Yang discovered that there were five Saint King-level experts hidden ahead. Green Cicada Saint King was one of them. These Saint Kings concealed themselves in the dark, seemingly preparing to ambush someone.

Initially intending to directly slay Green Cicada Saint King, witnessing this scene prompted Su Yang to immediately hide himself.

With five Saint Kings present, it would be quite troublesome to simply charge in and kill them. Although Su Yang’s power indeed does not fear these five Saint Kings, he couldn’t guarantee that he could effortlessly kill all five. If any escape, it would surely cause additional trouble for him.

Thus, Su Yang decided to lurk in the dark, waiting for the Green Cicada Saint King to complete his affairs, and for the opportunity to strike when he was isolated.

After wandering around nearby for a while, Su Yang finally understood why these Saint Kings were hiding here. It was because, not far from this location, there was a Teleportation Gate. In other words, these Saint Kings were lying in ambush near this Teleportation Gate to trap someone.

The ones they were lying in wait for likely resided close to this Teleportation Gate. When they emerged from the gate, they would first leave the gate, then tear through space to hurry back home.

The ambushing Saint Kings had positioned themselves such that they blocked all surroundings of the Teleportation Gate. So when this person leaves the range of the gate, they are doomed to be surrounded by these five Saint Kings. In such a scenario, escape would be impossible!

Su Yang waited quietly in the dark, unconcerned about who the Saint Kings were targeting. It was certainly someone from the Demon Beast Clan, and in such a quarrel among enemies, Su Yang was disinclined to interfere. His sole purpose was to slay Green Cicada Saint King and seize his supply for the cultivation of the Nine Realms.

After waiting for approximately half a month, the battle finally began.

Feeling the fluctuation of power, Su Yang looked from afar. To his surprise, what he saw made him freeze.

Because the one being ambushed by these five Saint Kings was none other than Jinghong Saint King!

Jinghong Saint King was alone, surrounded by these five Saint Kings, fighting a losing battle with no way out. Moreover, these five Saint Kings seemed to have sealed off this space entirely, making it impossible for Jinghong Saint King to tear through space and escape. He could only resist passively, trying every method to break free.
