Supreme Warrior in the City

After Su Yang turned Dao Ji into an empty shell, he began using the Secret Technique of the Puppetry Technique to take control of Dao Ji’s body.

The process was very slow. If he were dealing with someone weaker than himself, it would’ve been easy. But Dao Ji’s strength had after all been greater than Su Yang’s. Although he had lost his power, his body was still extremely strong. Completely seizing control of this body was anything but easy.

It took Su Yang roughly half a year to completely take over Dao Ji’s body.

Su Yang sent a portion of his Divine Sense into Dao Ji’s body, and then this body became like one of his own incarnations, something he could command at will.

He tried to make Dao Ji’s body rise into the air, wanting to feel Dao Ji’s power. However, in the end Su Yang still failed.

Dao Ji was heavily injured, his power completely gone. This body was basically just a wreck, with no power left in it at all. Even with Su Yang’s Divine Sense inside, he couldn’t conjure power from nothing.

If he wanted this body to regain its former combat strength, he had to restore the power within it. But how was he supposed to do that?

Dao Ji’s injuries were too severe, and his Origin Power had been completely worn away. If he were to recover by himself, even with ample Spiritual Energy to replenish him, it would still take thousands of years for him to recover.

Now Dao Ji’s Divine Soul had already been ground to nothing, and Su Yang had taken over this body. He didn’t possess Dao Ji’s strength, so restoring Dao Ji’s power was even harder. This was a headache for Su Yang.

After pondering for a while, Su Yang suddenly remembered the gourd he still had on him.

The Spiritual Liquid in the gourd was very effective. He didn’t know if it would work on Dao Ji.

Su Yang took out the gourd, looked at Dao Ji, then at the gourd in his hand, feeling somewhat hesitant. The Spiritual Liquid in this gourd no longer meant that much to him now. After all, he had already advanced to the Saint Emperor Realm and had gone quite far along this realm. Even if he swallowed that little bit of Spiritual Liquid, he would at most take another step forward and reach the Peak of Saint Emperor. But in reality, he was already not far from the Peak of Saint Emperor, which was why he hadn’t taken that Spiritual Liquid—he didn’t want to waste it.

However, if he used this Spiritual Liquid to restore Dao Ji’s strength, it would be equivalent to Su Yang having an expert at the Earth-level Realm at his side, following him at all times and helping him. With such an incarnation, Su Yang would be much safer even if he went to other of the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

After thinking it over, Su Yang finally decided to first cultivate this puppet.

He poured out half a drop of Spiritual Liquid and fed it into Dao Ji’s mouth, then closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in Dao Ji’s body.

Once the Spiritual Liquid entered the abdomen, a powerful surge of Spiritual Energy quickly spread throughout Dao Ji’s body. Su Yang clearly felt Dao Ji’s internal injuries rapidly healing, and the power within him swiftly repairing itself.

Su Yang couldn’t help but be shocked. The Spiritual Liquid in the gourd was this potent? He himself had also swallowed a drop before and had only advanced to Saint Emperor. Why was it that Dao Ji, after swallowing just half a drop, had such a dramatic effect, actually recovering his power?

Su Yang didn’t know that the reason he had only advanced to Saint Emperor was because of the Heaven Slayer Illusion. He himself hadn’t absorbed much of the Spiritual Liquid at all; almost all of it had been absorbed by the Heaven Slayer Illusion. Otherwise, that one drop of Spiritual Liquid would have been enough to allow dozens or even hundreds of people to advance to the Earth-level Realm!

Now, with half a drop of Spiritual Liquid, not only could Dao Ji’s power be restored, his strength could even be pushed another step further. It was only because Dao Ji no longer had a Divine Soul and couldn’t immediately absorb this Spiritual Liquid to increase his strength. If Dao Ji’s Divine Soul had still been there, he definitely could have taken this chance to advance another stage and raise his strength by another level!

Even so, Dao Ji’s power was completely restored. Moreover, his body was once again tempered by this power, reaching an even stronger level—definitely somewhat stronger than the Dao Ji of the past.

Feeling the power within Dao Ji’s body, Su Yang’s heart surged with excitement. With such a powerful puppet, he would be much safer when he went to the Three Thousand Great Worlds!

When he walked out of seclusion, Jiang Zi’er had long been waiting for him outside. Seeing Su Yang come out, Jiang Zi’er couldn’t help but be surprised. ”Brother Su, didn’t you advance to the Earth-level Realm?”

From the look of it, Jiang Zi’er had sensed Dao Ji’s aura, which was why she asked this.

Su Yang smiled faintly and shook his head, then explained the matter of the Puppetry Technique and Dao Ji. Jiang Zi’er suddenly understood.

”With this puppet going to the Three Thousand Great Worlds with you, I can feel a bit more at ease!” Jiang Zi’er nodded and said.

Su Yang smiled and nodded, then suddenly thought of something and immediately said, ”Right, did your master ever tell you about the Divine Master?”

”She mentioned him.” Jiang Zi’er nodded. ”Master said he’s just a jumping clown, a fence-sitter who plays both sides. He was a member of the Ancient Human Clan, but he worked for both the Heavenly Warriors and the Guardian God, taking benefits from both sides. When the Ancient war broke out, he went into hiding and refused to fight. After both sides suffered heavy casualties, he suddenly appeared with a group of people, calling himself the Divine Master and attempting to reap the fisherman’s profit, but he was swallowed by the Heaven Slayer Illusion that had severed the Heavenly Dao, and all his cultivation was completely abolished.”

”However, he had secretly hidden away a Heaven-defying Divine Artifact at the time, which allowed him to save his own life. Later, when the Heaven Slayer fell into slumber, he slipped out of the Demon Abyss in secret and even brought the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book out with him. He knows many things from the Ancient Times and also knows about the Demon Abyss Feather Spirit Palace and the World Melting Furnace. He has long coveted them, wanting to devour them and become the strongest in the Three Thousand Great Worlds.”

”So that’s how it is!” Su Yang suddenly understood and finally figured out what kind of existence this Divine Master really was.

”In this era when the Heavenly Warriors and the Ancient Guardian God are both asleep, this man is still awake. So he must have made quite a few arrangements. But right now, the Heavenly Warriors and the Ancient Guardian God don’t have the time to deal with him, so they’re letting him jump around for a while. This man is not worth worrying about. Master said he can’t affect the overall situation, so there’s no need to pay him any mind!” Jiang Zi’er said.

”That’s good!” Su Yang nodded. He had previously been worried that this Divine Master might become a problem. Now it seemed there was no need to worry about him.

Su Yang took the chance to ask about the current situation in the Great World. The Guardian God of the Three Thousand Great Worlds had sent a large number of people into this Great World. As their numbers increased, these people of the Guardian God grew much bolder and began searching for the allied army everywhere in this Great World.

”In this situation, it’s only a matter of time before they find the Nine Realms!” Su Yang frowned slightly and said, ”Zi’er, once they find the Nine Realms, you must immediately return to Storm Valley and hide inside. No matter how strong they are, they can’t enter Storm Valley.”
