Supreme Warrior in the City

After this incident, Su Yang finally understood.

It is absolutely impossible to use a Space Artifact to collect this Blood Shadow.

The Blood Shadow might not attack Su Yang, but it doesn’t mean Su Yang can dispose of it at will.

Blood Shadow may not target Su Yang, but it still has an instinctive resistance.

If trapped in another space, it would immediately resist.

It’s practically impossible to take the Blood Shadow away, so Su Yang abandoned the idea.

He circled around the Blood Shadow, recalling the Heaven Slayer’s words.

The Heaven Slayer instructed him to remember his resurrection within the World Tree and then deduce whether the powerful beings in the Blood Shadow could return.

Su Yang couldn’t find a clue; even now seeing the Blood Shadow, he still cannot think of a method.

However, Su Yang was not anxious.

He circled the Blood Shadow a few times, unable to come up with a method, so he simply sat down cross-legged beside it.

He carefully pondered his memories of his previous life, thinking about past experiences.

After a long while, Su Yang suddenly opened his eyes.

During this meditative process, he remembered some memories from his previous life, about how he entered the Great World, how he gained rebirth.

This Blood Shadow is formed by the remnants of all life within a World Tree. Essentially, the life within this World Tree is entirely gone.

To revive the powerful beings within the Blood Shadow, there is only one method, which is to use an existing life form to resurrect the powerful beings within.

In other words, to revive a powerful being, one must use a new life as the vessel, allowing the remnants of the powerful being to be reborn within the vessel.

Those Light Cocoons in the Broken Star Domain represented this situation.

As Su Yang speculated, those places were where the Blood Shadow had been shattered. Many Guardian Gods perished there as well, and thus, the remnants from the fragmented Blood Shadow attached to the deceased Guardian Gods to be reborn.

As many Guardian Gods died, as many lives were reborn.

Therefore, Su Yang and the others could only discover those Light Cocoons and not any others.

The reason the Guardian Gods are competing for the Human Clan’s Light Cocoons is for this purpose; they know that new Light Cocoons cannot be birthed.

Now, an idea sparked in Su Yang’s mind.

This method does not require killing the Blood Shadow or sacrificing many lives.

Su Yang’s method is to extract the remnants of the powerful beings from the Blood Shadow. Then, inject these remnants into a life form, allowing the powerful being to resurrect through this life.

During this process, extracting the remnants from the Blood Shadow is the most challenging part.

Others cannot approach the Blood Shadow; any contact would inevitably lead to mutually destructive outcomes.

However, Su Yang could approach the Blood Shadow, and it held no hostility toward him; he was the most suitable for this task.

Su Yang slowly approached the Blood Shadow, placing his hand on it, closed his eyes, and started sensing everything within the Blood Shadow.

The Blood Shadow remained unmoving, as if Su Yang was not touching it.

Inside the Blood Shadow was chaos; at first, Su Yang couldn’t sense anything.

Yet, as Su Yang slowly calmed himself, he gradually unraveled the situation within the Blood Shadow.

Though chaotic, the Blood Shadow is ultimately formed from the residual souls of a World Tree. By quietly sensing, one can distinguish between these residual souls.

Next, Su Yang had to choose the Strongest among them and extract this Strongest’s remnant.

This process is the most troublesome; finding the Strongest’s remnant among so many is akin to searching for a needle in a haystack.

Ultimately, the remnants left behind by the Strongest don’t differ much from ordinary people’s remnants; there’s no significant difference in power, making it difficult for Su Yang to screen extensively.

The only distinction is that the Strongest’s remnants are more resilient.

Su Yang lightly stimulated these remnants with power and compared their reactions, slowly filtering them.

After roughly a year, Su Yang finally selected a Strongest’s remnant.

The next task was capturing this remnant with power and extracting it from the Blood Shadow.

This process is troublesome since the remnant does not possess strength. To extract it, Su Yang must wrap it in power.

Any slight mistake in this process, Su Yang’s power could shatter the remnant, causing the Strongest to perish.

Carefully, Su Yang extracted the remnant, and after about a day, he finally succeeded.

A remnant of the Strongest was drawn out by Su Yang.

Next, Su Yang opened his Personal Space and brought out one Guardian God.

This Guardian God has always harbored hostility toward Su Yang. If not for lacking strength, he would have challenged Su Yang long ago.

After entering Su Yang’s Personal Space, this Guardian God continually incited other Guardian Gods, scheming to break out of Su Yang’s Personal Space.

Su Yang was aware of these activities but chose to ignore them.

This Guardian God could never switch allegiance to the Human Clan. Thus, keeping him would always be a threat that must be resolved.

Now, a life is needed to hold the Strongest’s remnant, making this Guardian God the perfect candidate.

The Guardian God was brought out by Su Yang and looked puzzled: ”Su Alliance Leader, what are you doing?”

Su Yang said, ”Nothing much, just borrowing your life!”

The Guardian God’s face changed, a fierce look in his eyes, but he chuckled: ”Su Alliance Leader, you must be joking.”

”I’m simply an ordinary Guardian God, only at Heavenly Level.”

”You are the Human Clan’s first Strongest, the foremost among the Strongest.”

”Killing me, aren’t you afraid of tainting your hands?”

Su Yang glanced at him: ”Do you think I’m joking?”

The Guardian God’s expression drastically changed, urgently saying, ”Su Alliance Leader, what... what do you mean?”

”If you want to kill us, why bring us out?”

”What, you want to toy with us before we die?”

Su Yang sneered: ”Think whatever you want!”

The Guardian God angrily shouted: ”You, Su, have strength on your side; I can’t do anything. Do as you will, but I won’t flinch!”

”But remember, we Guardian Gods have our Strongest too.”

”You may kill us, and our Strongest can kill your Human Clan folk.”

”Whatever you do to me, our Strongest will eventually settle scores!”
