Supreme Warrior in the City

The three Crystal Skulls suddenly lit up at the sight of the stone tablet. Although they couldn’t quite recall what the Infinite Golden Crystal was, Su Yang’s words made them realize how invaluable it truly was.

”Big brother, you choose first. We’ll divide up whatever’s left between the three of us!” The Second City Lord immediately suggested.

Su Yang glanced at him, thinking, ”Are you out of your mind? Which adult makes choices like that? We want it all, okay!”

Besides, these are my battle trophies. When the stone tablet was suppressed, you three were almost on your knees. If I hadn’t slashed out, you’d already be reduced to ashes, and you think you have the right to talk to me like this?

Ignoring him, Su Yang waved his hand and collected all the fractured stone tablet pieces from the ground, leaving nothing behind.

”Big brother!” the Second City Lord exclaimed, eyes wide open, ”You... you took it all?”

”Obviously!” Su Yang shot him a look, not outright saying he’d hog it all, but instead retorted, ”As one of the rarest materials for Artifact Refining, the key point of the Infinite Golden Crystal is that it’s incredibly difficult to melt. If I give it to you, what would you do with it? You can’t melt it anyway, are you going to use it as a decoration? Put it at your doorstep as a tombstone?”

The Second City Lord thought to himself, ”Why do you care if I can melt it or not? If I want to use it as a tombstone, that’s my business. We’re all just skeletons anyway; nothing wrong with using it as a tombstone. Now that you’ve taken everything, we don’t even have a tombstone left, what’s the point of arguing!”

Still, these thoughts stayed within him. After witnessing the Illusion’s slash that split the stone tablet, they were again in awe, and none of them dared to challenge Su Yang now.

With the stone tablet in hand, Su Yang continued onward.

Once inside the Immortal Palace, Su Yang realized that this place had been through a terrifying battle.

When the three Crystal Skulls came over earlier, they had gone straight to the Spirit Liquid Lake without observing the situation inside these palaces. After all, the Qing Guang in their gourd could only temporarily obscure the stone tablet and wouldn’t last long, so they had to act quickly.

Now that the stone tablet was gone, Su Yang didn’t need to hurry. He toured each of the palaces, both to understand the place and to search for any potentially useful items.

After making a round, Su Yang discovered little.

The place had been ravaged by battles, leaving most areas damaged and devoid of valuable items.

However, it was apparent that the Immortal Palace had held a prestigious position.

Because, at the main hall in the center of the palace, Su Yang could see four large characters – Ten Thousand Worlds in Reverence!

Ten Thousand Worlds in Reverence, indicating that this was once a place where innumerable worlds came to pay homage.

The Heavenly Sect, just from the name, clearly wasn’t an ordinary existence.

Hearing ”Ten Thousand Worlds in Reverence,” Su Yang felt it had some similarity to what Feather Spirit Palace called the Master of the Myriad Worlds!

Walking inside the hall, Su Yang found a string of names on one of the stone walls. Those were the pilgrimage lists, listing the worlds that came here to pay their respects.

And to his surprise, Su Yang discovered three characters – Feather Spirit Palace!

So, back then, Feather Spirit Palace was also one of the worlds paying homage here!?

Su Yang was dumbfounded, ”What’s going on here?”

Isn’t Feather Spirit Palace the Master of Myriad Worlds? So, Feather Spirit Palace also had to pay homage here? Does that mean that the status of Heavenly Sect was even higher than Feather Spirit Palace?

Given the current situation, Heavenly Sect wasn’t a force within the World Melting Furnace but had entered later. So, from this, it’s impossible to determine whether the World Melting Furnace’s status was higher or lower than that of Feather Spirit Palace.

Clearly, the status of Heavenly Sect was undoubtedly above both of them.

For some unknown reason later, the Heavenly Palace fell into the World Melting Furnace.

Immediately, Su Yang noticed a suffix after the name of Feather Spirit Palace – Betrayal!

Su Yang was taken aback, ”Feather Spirit Palace, betrayed?”

It meant that Feather Spirit Palace was one of the worlds paying homage to Heavenly Sect but later betrayed and stopped paying homage?

What exactly transpired here that made a world paying respect to Heavenly Sect betray them?

Su Yang was filled with perplexity, unable to fathom the situation. These histories, perhaps no one in the Nine Realms would know.

Reading further, Su Yang saw numerous world names, among which many had ”Betrayed” written beside them.

However, for some worlds, after ”Betrayed,” the words ”Suppressed” were added. Indicating those worlds were suppressed after betraying.

The wall was vast, and Su Yang realized that it listed over ten thousand worlds. The sheer number of worlds that came to pay respects was astonishing. Yet, about two-thirds of them betrayed, with most of them getting suppressed. Only a small portion had no remark about suppression.

Su Yang went through all of them but didn’t see the Nine Realms. Yet, this was within his expectations.

The Nine Realms likely wasn’t qualified to be on this list. Even their inception didn’t predate the existence of this list, so getting on it was impossible.

This realization made Su Yang aware once more of the Nine Realms’ insignificance, leaving him speechless.

The universe is so vast, yet people from the Nine Realms are still fighting over its interests. Little did they know there was a broader world beyond, making their struggles pointless.

With a sigh, Su Yang pressed on, eventually reaching the Spirit Liquid Lake.

Upon arrival, before Su Yang could say anything, the three Crystal Skulls exclaimed in surprise.

”Wow, what’s happening?” the Second City Lord exclaimed loudly.

”What’s wrong?” Su Yang asked curiously. Was there something unusual about this Spirit Liquid Lake?

”No, it’s just that... last time we were here, we took a lot of Spiritual Liquid from this lake,” the Second City Lord said. ”I remember back then, the water level had dropped to that point, and a large stone was exposed. But now, the lake’s surface is back to its original state? What happened?”

”Really?” Su Yang was also astonished. If things were as the Second City Lord said, they must have taken a significant amount of Spiritual Liquid. Now, with the water back to its original level, does it mean the Spiritual Liquid in this lake replenished itself?

The three Crystal Skulls exchanged glances, each seeing the shock and delight in the others’ eyes.

If the Spiritual Liquid in this lake could replenish itself, doesn’t that mean the liquid would be inexhaustible?
