Supreme Warrior in the City

Nine Realms, World Melting Furnace.

The peak experts of the Human Clan have already emerged, and over the past few years, everyone’s power has almost completely recovered.

In the past, it would have been impossible for them to recover their strength so quickly.

But now, Su Yang possesses the Earth Principle, and within this World Melting Furnace, it’s filled with Earth Principle Spiritual Energy. Being nurtured by this Earth Principle Spiritual Energy, everyone can quickly regain their strength.

Not only that, some of the peak experts have even broken through to the Heavenly Level realm. Such as the Eternal Divine Emperor, and powerhouses like the Suffering Buddha.

After emerging, people did not leave the World Melting Furnace; instead, they waited outside the forest where Su Yang is in seclusion.

The thousand-year deadline has arrived, and theoretically, the strongest should emerge. In the upcoming battle, the strongest will lead, while others can only play a supporting role.

At this moment, whether Su Yang can advance to become one of the strongest is crucial to the fate of the Human Clan.

While everyone was waiting, suddenly, a loud boom emanated from a distant valley. Following that, a cloud of mist shot into the sky from the valley.

Within the mist, countless Demon Beasts roared continuously. These Demon Beasts wanted to charge out from the mist, but no matter how hard they struggled, they could not escape the mist and remained trapped inside.

Everyone watched in astonishment; in all the valleys within their sight, similar clouds of mist flew out. Inside these mists, the same scenario unfolded—beasts struggling and roaring between heaven and earth, the scene was extremely spectacular.

After a long while, the mist in the sky suddenly began to churn, and the beasts inside emitted cries of sorrow, as if they were hit by something.

The beasts had stopped struggling, curling up within the mist and looking around in fear, appearing so insignificant despite their strength.

The mist finally stopped churning, and these mists began to move towards the central area of the World Melting Furnace.

Everyone followed curiously to see what these mists intended to do.

In this World Melting Furnace, similar mists appeared in every valley. All these pillar-like mists moved to the center of the furnace and began to merge under everyone’s gaze.

All the mists merged into one. However, the range of the mist did not expand and began to shrink, as if the mists were under compression.

Everyone watched dumbfounded; each segment of the mist held immense power. Now these mist segments merging and compressing was terrifyingly potent.

The mist continued to compress, and the beasts inside were compressed along with it. These once-mighty Demon Beasts were now compressed to scarcely visible sizes.

Finally, the mist compressed to a size of three zhang squared. In the middle of this mist, a figure appeared—a chubby figure.

Seeing this figure, Jiang Zi’er couldn’t help but be overjoyed and quickly stepped forward, exclaiming excitedly, ”Welcome, Master, out of seclusion!”

Others were also visibly moved, as they recognized the figure within the mist as the owner of the World Melting Furnace, one of the three Supreme figures from the Ancient Human Clan, known as the Demon Lord!

The Demon Lord glanced at everyone around, nodded to Jiang Zi’er, then waved his hand, causing the mist behind him to disperse.

Countless Demon Beasts emerged from the mist as it scattered.

”These Demon Beasts...” an Ancient Heaven Fighter exclaimed, ”How is their power so immense?”

The Supreme Dragon Emperor, observing the beasts, commented, ”This group of Demon Beasts was once controlled by the warriors; they all possess Heavenly Level power, extremely defiant. Later, the Guardian God wiped their Spiritual Sense, turning them into mindless killing machines.”

”During Ancient Times, life across dozens of Great Worlds was slaughtered by these Demon Beasts while the Human Clan’s Heaven Fighters couldn’t stop them. Eventually, it was the Demon Lord who merged these Great Worlds into the World Melting Furnace and trapped all these beasts inside!”

”I didn’t expect, after so many years, these beasts have regained their intelligence. It seems the Demon Lord wore down their hostility and restored their minds!”

The Supreme Dragon Emperor looked at the Demon Lord with admiration and bowed, saying, ”On behalf of all these beasts, I thank the Demon Lord!”

The Supreme Dragon Emperor, itself a formidable beast of extraordinary origin, naturally cared deeply about the life and death of fellow beasts.

The Demon Lord trapped these beasts in the World Melting Furnace, not killing them but helping them regain their mind, which deeply touched the beasts.

The Demon Lord declared, ”Although I restored their intelligence, during the Ancient War, they slaughtered countless lives. I hope they can redeem themselves!”

The Supreme Dragon Emperor nodded firmly, ”Don’t worry, Demon Lord, I will personally lead them in a decisive battle against the Guardian God!”

The Demon Lord nodded calmly and then stepped forward, arriving above the forest where Su Yang was in seclusion.

He glanced at the forest below, a smile crossing his face. He did not descend but instead turned and stepped out, leaving the range of the World Melting Furnace and entering the Nine Realms.

Everyone followed him to the Nine Realms, where a powerful aura pervaded.

Above the Southern Sea, a black vortex was slowly expanding, emitting an intimidating aura so formidable that even the Heaven Fighters were alarmed.

To the extreme north, a Heaven-Reaching Giant Tree had grown, piercing through the clouds into the Endless Starry Sky, almost as if this Great World could not accommodate such a gigantic tree.

The Demon Lord glanced at these two places, then directly approached the Southern Sea vortex.

”How about some help?” the Demon Lord chuckled.

”What a joke, just a fragment of a Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, does it need help?” a voice emerged from the vortex.

The Demon Lord replied, ”Since that’s the case, I’ll be on my way!”

”...” The person within the vortex paused before replying, ”Don’t be in such a hurry to leave; when I shatter this Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, you’ll need to help handle the aftermath. Besides, you have nothing else to do, just stay here a while longer!”
