Supreme Warrior in the City

Su Yang took out two gourds and first poured the spiritual liquid from one gourd into his mouth.

Initially, Su Yang thought that there would be plenty of spiritual liquid in the gourd, after all, the space inside the gourd was quite large.

But in fact, there was only one drop of spiritual liquid.

After swallowing the spiritual liquid, Su Yang immediately felt a drastic change happening in his body. A surge of powerful spiritual energy spread rapidly throughout his entire being, as if it was occupying every part of him.

Su Yang quickly started his cultivation, slowly absorbing and integrating this surge of spiritual energy.

This process took Su Yang more than ten years to complete.

After fully integrating the drop of spiritual liquid, Su Yang clearly felt that he had advanced. He had now reached the status of the Saint Emperor realm.

This discovery shocked Su Yang to the core. He hadn’t expected the spiritual liquid to be so potent. One drop had allowed him to advance to the Saint Emperor realm, and he felt that he had already moved far ahead in the Saint Emperor realm, testament to the liquid’s powerful effects.

Looking at the other gourd, Su Yang thought that if he consumed the spiritual liquid in that one too, wouldn’t he directly advance to the peak of Saint Emperor?

After pondering for a while, Su Yang decided not to swallow the spiritual liquid from that gourd immediately. After all, he had been in seclusion for over ten years, so it was time to see the outside world.

As he prepared to leave, Su Yang suddenly remembered something and sat back down cross-legged. He took out the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book that he had kept hidden on him. Since he had advanced, could a new page of the book possibly open?

Opening the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book, Su Yang realized he could indeed turn to a new page.

It seemed that everything was as before. Each time he advanced a realm, the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book would allow him to open a new page.

Upon finishing the content of this new page, Su Yang’s mindset changed once again. Most of this page contained extensions and enhancements of previous secret techniques, which would enable one to cultivate even more formidable power.

Su Yang was particularly drawn to one such secret technique, named Puppetry Technique, capable of obliterating the divine soul of other powerful beings, transforming them into his puppets under his control.

This Puppetry Technique was intended for use against those whose strength was inferior to his own, enabling him to control those with lesser power as his combat henchmen, with excellent effectiveness.

Su Yang then remembered Dao Ji, whom he had sealed in his personal space. Could the Puppetry Technique control him?

Dao Ji was at the Earth-level realm, extremely powerful. Normally, Su Yang was unable to control him with the Puppetry Technique.

However, Dao Ji was now severely injured, his power greatly diminished, and his divine soul on the verge of shattering.

Seizing this opportunity to obliterate his divine soul and take control was within the realm of possibility!

Thinking of this, Su Yang’s spirit was instantly lifted. He opened his personal space and extracted the captive Dao Ji.

Dao Ji had been imprisoned in the personal space for many years. Suddenly pulled out, he was obviously taken aback, unsure of Su Yang’s intentions.

Upon seeing Su Yang, Dao Ji’s expression immediately changed: ”You... you’ve advanced again?”

”Of course,” Su Yang sneered. ”I was chosen by the Holy Daughter and inherited the legacy of the Heaven Slayer. Would you expect me to stagnate like you all these years without making any progress?”

Dao Ji’s expression turned unsightly, filled with anger and resentment. It was hard for him to accept Su Yang’s rapid progress catching up to him.

”You’re just a lucky one!” Dao Ji gritted his teeth, ”Without the Heaven Slayer, without the Holy Daughter, what would you amount to?”

”Why speak in hypotheticals? I’ve already obtained these, no use talking about ’if’ or ’what if’!” Su Yang waved his hand dismissively. ”Alright, Dao Ji, since you’ve long been a notorious villain, it’s time you contributed something to the Human Clan!”

”Contribute?” Dao Ji sneered. ”Su, you’re dreaming. Even if I were to die, I wouldn’t do anything for the Human Clan. Su, if you dare, devour me with your Devouring the World secret technique. Hmph, I want to see if you can handle digesting my Earth-level power!”

”No need to devour you; I fear it’ll dirty myself!” Su Yang laughed. ”However, your power is suitable to be my henchman. You can help me fight in the future!”

”Henchman? You’re dreaming!” Dao Ji scornfully retorted. ”Su, I’d rather die than work for you!”

”Hahaha, whether you like it or not!” Su Yang laughed. ”Have you heard of a secret technique called Puppetry Technique? Dao Ji, you’d make an excellent puppet!”

Dao Ji’s expression drastically changed. He had indeed heard of Puppetry Technique and knew exactly what it entailed. If he were to become a puppet, he would become an empty shell, and be forced to work for Su Yang forever, driving him mad just thinking about it!

”Su, you... you’re trying to scare me!” Dao Ji shouted in anger. ”Puppetry Technique has long been lost, where did you obtain it?”

”Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book, haven’t you heard of it?” Su Yang sneered. ”The book left behind by the Heaven Slayer, containing various lost secret techniques, including the Puppetry Technique. Dao Ji, lucky you didn’t die back then in that tunnel. If you had, I wouldn’t have such a great henchman!”

Dao Ji was stunned; the reason he didn’t die at that time was to buy time for the Guardian God to find and kill Su Yang, planning to die together with him. He never imagined surviving only to meet this fate.

”You... you’re trying to scare me...” Dao Ji’s voice trembled.

”Are you scared?” Su Yang coldly smiled.

Dao Ji’s face was full of panic, watching Su Yang slowly lift his hand. In fear, he pleaded, ”Alliance Leader Su, Alliance Leader Su, give me a quick death. Living... living would only sabotage your plans, kill me, and I’ll be gone forever, never affecting you again...”

”What a waste to kill you!” Su Yang laughed. ”Didn’t I say, you’re an excellent henchman, not easy to find. Dao Ji senior, after all the evil deeds you’ve done, finally you can contribute to the Human Clan, why are you unwilling? Don’t you have even this little bit of awareness?”

”Awareness, my foot!” Dao Ji cursed, ”You bastard, you... if you dare use Puppetry Technique on me, I won’t let you off even in death...”

”Then after you die, remember to seek revenge on me!” Su Yang chuckled, placing his hand atop Dao Ji’s head, beginning to obliterate Dao Ji’s divine soul.

Dao Ji roared in fury and agony, trying to self-destruct. But he had no remaining power, unable to resist.

Eventually, Dao Ji’s divine soul was completely obliterated by Su Yang, leaving an empty shell behind.
