Supreme Warrior in the City

After establishing the Human Clan’s plan, Su Yang first left the Nine Realms and went to the star planet that was once his mother’s.

The Jade Pendant on him was obtained from that planet. The Jade Pendant carries the aura of the Taoist Venerable. Could it be that the Taoist Venerable is associated with that planet?

Su Yang now suspects that the Qing Guang outside the planet is related to the Taoist Venerable. Otherwise, how could Qing Guang possess such powerful power? It can seal the gateway to the Immortal Palace, which is something only the strongest can accomplish.

After Su Yang’s power improved, his speed also increased significantly. Although this planet is quite distant from the Nine Realms, Su Yang arrived near the planet after tearing through space three times.

According to Dao Ji’s previous words, although this planet is here, ordinary people can’t even come close to it. Dao Ji spent tens of thousands of years nearby and couldn’t find the planet, likely because of the Qing Guang.

Su Yang arrived here and directly found the planet. Qing Guang still guarded the outside of the planet. Upon seeing Su Yang approach, Qing Guang gradually transformed into a humanoid shape, as if waiting for Su Yang.

Su Yang flew directly in front of Qing Guang and cupped his hands, saying: ”Taoist Venerable Senior?”

Qing Guang didn’t answer, as if observing Su Yang.

Su Yang couldn’t figure out Qing Guang’s meaning, thought for a moment, and then summoned the illusion within his body.

The previous Human Emperor was shocked when seeing this illusion and not only revealed his own identity but also spoke at length with Su Yang. Would seeking out the Taoist Venerable be the same?

Sure enough, Qing Guang was visibly shocked upon seeing the illusion.

Qing Guang became clearer once more, and Su Yang could clearly see that Qing Guang was actually a faint human figure, only the person’s appearance couldn’t be distinguished.

Qing Guang circled around the floating illusion, carefully observing it once more.

The illusion was half demon, half Buddha, surrounded by endless black air and nine golden lotus flowers, encapsulating Buddha and Demon Coexistence, extremely profound.

After a long while, Qing Guang finally withdrew and this time he spoke: ”Unexpectedly, it was that bald monk who succeeded in the end!”

Upon hearing him speak, Su Yang knew for certain that this person was the Taoist Venerable. Besides the Three Great Ancient, who would dare refer to the Buddha Venerable this way?

”I came here as a junior to thank Taoist Venerable Senior for the numerous times you have extended your helping hand!” Su Yang cupped his hands.

”You don’t need to thank me!” Taoist Venerable waved his hand: ”I haven’t helped you much. On the contrary, by selecting you, you face considerable danger, and might lose your life at any time. If you survived until now, it was your fate, you owe us nothing!”

Su Yang was startled, asking in surprise: ”Taoist Venerable Senior also selected me back then?”

”I didn’t select you!” Taoist Venerable shook his head: ”The choice wasn’t ours. Back then, I had the Holy Daughter take the Undying Bone out and find a suitable person to bear it. The choice was made by the Holy Daughter. However, I didn’t expect her to have her own son bear the Undying Bone. Bearing the Undying Bone is not just nine-to-one odds of survival; the chances are extremely bleak. Before you, countless others tried to bear the Undying Bone. Ultimately, none succeeded, losing their lives instead. Only you succeeded thoroughly; it is your fortune!”

”Before me, others bore the Undying Bone?” Su Yang was shocked; he had never known this before.

”From the Ancient to now, do you know how many years that was?” The Taoist Venerable countered.

Su Yang shook his head, he truly didn’t know this matter.

”From the Ancient to now, it has been nearly three hundred million years!” The Taoist Venerable replied.

”What!?” Su Yang exclaimed: ”Such a long time? From Ancient to Ancient, it was no more than a million years!”

”There are many things you don’t know, and those Heavenly Warriors you just recalled don’t know. Even the Guardian God doesn’t know!” Taoist Venerable continued: ”But we who have never been completely eradicated understand. Do you really think the Three Thousand Great Worlds you see now are truly the Three Thousand Great Worlds after the Ancient?”

”This… what do you mean?” Su Yang was puzzled.

Taoist Venerable: ”After the Ancient, many eras have passed, each as prosperous as this era of yours. Whether it was the Guardian God, the Human Clan, or the Demon Beast Clan, innumerable lives spread across the Three Thousand Great Worlds. In each era, someone bears the Undying Bone, receiving the Heaven Slayer’s legacy. Ultimately, none have succeeded, and these eras have likewise perished, ceasing to exist.”

”Perished?” Su Yang stared wide-eyed: ”What does this perished mean?”

Taoist Venerable glanced at Su Yang, softly saying: ”It means all life is completely extinct, an era completely vanishes!”

”All life?” Su Yang exclaimed: ”All life? Including… including mortals who have no ability to protect themselves?”

”Yes!” Taoist Venerable nodded: ”Just like how the Small Worlds talk about world extinction; all races are dying, all lives are perishing, an era ends. Then, new life is born from Chaos, and a new era begins!”

Su Yang’s mouth gaped open; this news was utterly mind-blowing for him. So before their era, countless similar eras had existed, all annihilated? Countless people, all dead?

”Why would it be like this?” Su Yang urgently asked.

”Why would it be like what?” Taoist Venerable: ”Because they failed!”

”I’m asking, why would it perish?” Su Yang said: ”How could so much life suddenly perish? Why would it happen?”

”Because they failed, they had to perish!” Taoist Venerable.

”Was it perished by outsiders?” Su Yang frowned: ”Was… was it exterminated by the strong?”

Taoist Venerable looked at Su Yang: ”Yes, it was exterminated by the strong. I personally extinguished countless eras!”

Su Yang’s face changed drastically; he looked at the Taoist Venerable: ”Why… why do this? Those were all lives!”

”I know those were all lives, but the circumstances back then severely disadvantaged the Human Clan. If the entire era is not annihilated, the result would be the Guardian God winning completely, the Human Clan failing utterly and losing all hope of winning ever again!” Taoist Venerable said gravely: ”You must know that life can be born from Chaos, but success or failure occurs only once. Once the Human Clan fails and the Guardian God fully takes control, in countless eras that follow, the Human Clan would remain as ants. Should we let the Human Clan lose all opportunities because of the lives in those eras, or decisively annihilate those era’s lives to fight for future opportunities? If it were you, how would you choose?”
