Supreme Warrior in the City

”Why don’t the people in the Immortal Palace repair this Array?” Su Yang asked curiously.

”They can’t repair it!” the Great City Lord replied. ”When the Three Great Ancient modified the core of the Array, they left behind protective powers. At that time, the Three Great Ancient were at their peak, and the powers left were very strong. Later, when the great war broke out, the people inside the Immortal Palace suffered major injuries and didn’t have enough power to break the protective powers of the Three Great Ancient, making it impossible to modify the Array.”

”So that’s how it is!” Su Yang exclaimed, realizing the situation. He couldn’t help but feel fortunate that the Three Great Ancient had modified the Array back then. Otherwise, when they just entered, they might have been surrounded immediately.

Following the direction indicated by the three Crystal Skulls, they moved at full speed, flying for about half a year until Su Yang and his team finally saw some light—an illuminated planet.

”Take a detour, quickly take a detour!” the Great City Lord immediately whispered. ”There’s a planet ahead, so surely there are people living on it. When we came in earlier, we avoided the light sources so we could avoid the powerful beings here.”

Su Yang dared not provoke the powerful beings on this planet, as no one knew the extent of their strength. Moreover, the reason they hadn’t been attacked by those inside yet was that the inhabitants were unaware of their exact location.

If they were discovered and their location exposed, it might lead to an influx of enemies. At that point, searching for the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet would become very difficult.

Having detoured around this planet, Su Yang and his team continued onward.

Fortunately, the inhabitants of the planet didn’t detect them. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy for Su Yang and his team to leave.

”Looks like the strength of people inside hasn’t recovered much!” Su Yang whispered. ”We passed by that planet, and they didn’t notice.”

”That’s not the situation!” the Great City Lord shook his head. ”This Great World is a broken Great World. Outside, the residual powers of Ancient Heaven Fighters influence their Divine Sense, so they can’t perceive us. Otherwise, this place would be full of powerful beings, and as soon as we entered, they’d surely sense us!”

”Oh, really?” Su Yang was surprised. ”Is this the Ancient Battlefield? Then what about the outside Great World?”

Previously, the Golden Winged Roc had written four words in the sky, Ancient Battlefield. This meant the outside Great World was the Ancient Battlefield.

”I don’t remember the outside situation very well, but inside, it’s definitely also an Ancient Battlefield!” the Great City Lord said. ”The Ancient war, towards the latter stages, took place in this Immortal Palace!”

”So initially, the battle was outside, and later the Human Clan invaded the Immortal Palace, so the Immortal Palace became part of the Ancient Battlefield?” Su Yang asked curiously.

”It’s possible!” the Great City Lord nodded.

Su Yang couldn’t help but marvel at how fierce the Ancient war must have been. Almost two entire Great Worlds were shattered. How terrifying was this war’s power, and how many powerful beings participated and died within it?

As Su Yang and his team continued forward, they flew for about fifty to sixty years. During that time, they encountered dozens of planets, all of which they avoided. However, the problem was they hadn’t felt even the slightest hint of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet’s aura during this entire journey.

”Are we going the wrong way?” Su Yang couldn’t help but ask. ”Why haven’t we sensed any aura from the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet in all this time? How did you three choose this direction?”

The three Crystal Skulls exchanged glances, and finally, the Great City Lord replied awkwardly, ”We threw a shoe.”

”What the heck?” Su Yang’s eyes widened. Such an important task, decided so hastily?

”We... we also can’t sense the aura of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet. Besides, this place is so vast, we don’t know how to search, so... we had no choice but to do that!” The Great City Lord responded awkwardly.

”...” Su Yang almost felt like spitting blood—so these three claim to be treasure seekers?

”Do you think the direction you chose is correct?” Su Yang asked with effort to remain calm.

The three Crystal Skulls looked at each other, and the Second City Lord said, ”Boss, right or wrong, none of us knows. If we find it, it’s right; if we don’t, it’s wrong!”

”Nonsense!” Su Yang glared at him. ”Of course I know if we find it, it’s right; if not, it’s wrong. But the problem is, we’ve been traveling for so long and haven’t found it. Don’t you think we might be going the wrong way?”

”Not necessarily!” the Great City Lord replied. ”Honestly, we aren’t clear about the aura of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, and we can’t sense it now. Even though we’ve traveled for so long and haven’t found it, it may not be that we’re going in the wrong direction—perhaps we just haven’t reached the location yet. Boss, the scope inside the Immortal Palace is so vast that searching for the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet isn’t easy!”

”Then how did you find the three wooden boxes before?” Su Yang asked.

”Back then, we used a segment of the World Tree’s branch to sense the location of the three wooden boxes!” the Great City Lord explained.

Su Yang was speechless. He thought these three really had incredible skills, but it turned out they relied on external tools.

”Boss, searching for the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet here is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Without the aura of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, finding it is incredibly difficult!” the Great City Lord sighed. ”We don’t know the exact aura of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, so we have no choice but to take desperate measures!”

”If you could sense the aura of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, would it be easier to find it?” Su Yang suddenly asked.

”That might help!” the Great City Lord nodded, then looked at Su Yang. ”Boss, are you thinking of taking us to the Demon Abyss to sense the aura of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet?”

”Nonsense, we can’t just leave now and come back later!” Su Yang muttered, ”I was thinking of another method.”

”What other method?” the three Crystal Skulls were puzzled.

Su Yang took out the Heaven-Slaying Blade and said, ”The Heaven-Slaying Blade once shattered the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet; it surely has remnants of its aura. Try and see if you can sense the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet’s aura through it.”

The eyes of the three Crystal Skulls lit up simultaneously—this might really work. The Heaven-Slaying Blade must have traces of the aura from the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet. Using the aura remnants on it might actually produce results.
