Supreme Warrior in the City

With the addition of Ye the Sword Saint and the Martial Champion, Su Yang’s team has grown stronger, and everyone is full of confidence.

”What are we doing now?” Ye the Sword Saint flew around excitedly on his longsword. After being trapped in the Jieyue Tower for over a decade, he was quite pent-up.

”Calm down!” the Martial Champion sneered, ”I’ve been in the Jieyue Tower for hundreds of years, and I didn’t act like you!”

”People are different, I’m the type who loves action, not stillness!” Ye the Sword Saint said, gazing afar, ”Are there any Sub-Saint Beasts nearby? I haven’t been here for a long time. Hunting a Sub-Saint Beast would be great!”

”Well, you’re in the right place!” Su Zhan looked into the distance, ”We’re already deep in the Fifth Region and possibly close to the Sixth Region. Sub-Saint Beasts are abundant here, and even the Demon Beast King is as common as an ordinary demon beast. Sub-Saint Beasts are everywhere!”

”Really?” Ye the Sword Saint was overjoyed and eagerly looked around, ”What are we waiting for, let’s set off quickly!”

Everyone laughed at Ye the Sword Saint’s eagerness. He was the type who couldn’t sit still. He traveled the world alone back then because of this trait.

After guarding the Jieyue Tower for so long, he had been suffocating for a long time. Now that he finally got out, he naturally wanted to have a good time in the Endless Starry Sky.

As they moved forward, Su Zhan said to Ye the Sword Saint, ”Old Ye, don’t get too excited. There are many Sub-Saint Beasts in this area, and quite a few are even in groups. Since we’re so many, we shouldn’t cause too much commotion. If we attract too many Sub-Saint Beasts, we’ll just have to run away!”

”Oh?” Ye the Sword Saint was surprised, ”Are there that many?”

”Absolutely. Recently, we were surrounded by more than fifty Sub-Saint Beasts. If we didn’t all have Divine Artifacts, we probably wouldn’t have made it back!” Qi Zhishan chimed in.

Ye the Sword Saint glanced at Qi Zhishan, then at the nearby Martial Champion, and sneered, ”These guys are showing off their Divine Artifacts again!”

The group laughed heartily because that was indeed the case. Among the people here, only Ye the Sword Saint and the Martial Champion didn’t have Divine Artifacts. Even Su Yang could wield the Heaven-Slaying Blade.

”So, you really need to calm down!” Su Zhan summoned Nine Nether, playing with it in his hand, and said with a smile, ”If we encounter danger, I have a suggestion. Just run toward the Bald Monk, his Nine-Grade Lotus Platform has strong defense, should keep you safe!”

”Then why shouldn’t I run to Zhang the Second? His East Emperor Bell has an even stronger defense!” Ye the Sword Saint sneered.

”That’s different!” Su Zhan shook his head, ”With you and the Martial Champion here, do you think Zhang the Second will protect you or his own father?”

Ye the Sword Saint was dumbfounded for a long while before replying, ”What’s the point in all this boasting? My daughter is a Saint in the Human World, am I flaunting that?”

Everyone fell silent, thinking to themselves: aren’t you boasting quite a bit?

”Alright, let’s move on!” Su Yang laughed from the side, ”I feel some power fluctuations ahead; let’s go check it out!”

Everyone nodded. They had come to this Endless Starry Sky not only for training but also for hunting.

At the late stage of cultivation, the resources of the Nine Realms were no longer sufficient. To further enhance their strength, they needed resources from the Endless Starry Sky.

Take Black Widow, for instance; she’s just one step away from becoming a Sub-Saint. Her rapid power growth is entirely due to Su Yang and Su Zhan continuously hunting strong demon beasts in the Endless Starry Sky. They deconstruct and melt these beast powers into elixir pills for Black Widow’s cultivation, boosting her power significantly.

The same goes for Lv Donglin, who received a large amount of resources from Beigong War God and Second Young Master Zhang. Monk Wunian was similar, receiving resources from Mahakaya, rapidly boosting his power.

In the Nine Realms, Sub-Saints are extremely rare. As for Saints, they cannot be born solely from the Nine Realms’ resources. Every Saint’s emergence is due to some fortuitous encounter and acquiring resources from the Endless Starry Sky.

Indeed, Sub-Saints can be born from the resources inside the Nine Realms, but those resources can’t sustain too many Sub-Saints.

Therefore, seizing resources from the Endless Starry Sky is one shortcut to creating Sub-Saints.

Moreover, in the Human World, there’s the World Melting Furnace, which is even more potent than the combined resources of the Nine Realms.

This is why the Human World could progress so rapidly in strength over the past decade. Now, the Human World can almost match the Asura Realm in strength, even without a Saint. Going further, it can compete with realms like the Ghost Realm, Feather Realm, and Demon Realm.

Of course, reaching that level, the Human World will have to open the World Melting Furnace, which was part of the previous negotiations.

In fact, the Human World already could reach that level. However, Su Yang and the others, to ensure more competitiveness for the Human World, accumulated many resources, preparing to reveal them only when necessary, hopefully elevating the Human World’s power to match the Heavenly Realm and gaining absolute authority in the Nine Realms.

The current hunting in the Endless Starry Sky was something Su Yang and the others were doing to boost the Human World’s strength.

The group quickly advanced, and half an hour later, a black dot suddenly appeared up ahead.

The group became alert; even before Su Yang spoke, Ye the Sword Saint had already flown over with his sword, arriving beside the black dot in the blink of an eye.

”This guy!” Su Zhan was speechless and quickly led the group to follow.

Upon arriving nearby, everyone finally saw that the black dot was a gigantic demon beast.

This demon beast looked peculiar, almost like a huge cabbageworm. It had plump flesh and transparent skin, seemingly without any defensive capabilities.

However, when Ye the Sword Saint’s longsword struck it, it simply slid off its skin. The demon beast’s skin seemed slippery, like an eel, and attacks couldn’t harm it at all.

”What is this thing?” Ye the Sword Saint, having struck twice without injury, was puzzled.

The group was also bewildered. They had never seen such a demon beast before. Its appearance and abilities were just too strange!
