Supreme Warrior in the City

The three Crystal Skulls followed Su Yang out of this area and into an uninhabited region, where everyone stopped.

”Do any of you have any suggestions?” Su Yang asked.

”Why not just do it like the Demon Beast Clan...” the Second City Lord suddenly said, ”Kill someone directly, become them, and replace them?”

”Nonsense!” the Great City Lord immediately responded, ”They are all members of the Human Clan. How could the boss do such a thing? Killing his own people on a whim, how could you say such a thing!”

”Oh come on, great achievements come from not sweating the small stuff!” The Second City Lord waved his hand and continued, ”Besides, I didn’t say to kill good people. Just find a heinous person and kill them. We’d be getting rid of evil for the public good and could directly have a legitimate identity in this world without worrying about being exposed!”

The Great City Lord scratched his head, ”It’s not a bad suggestion. Boss, what do you think?”

Su Yang shook his head, ”It’s not suitable!”

”Why?” the Second City Lord immediately asked, ”My method is so good, how is it not suitable?”

Su Yang glanced at him, ”A heinous person with many enemies. If we become them, how many people will come after us for revenge? Those are all victims—how do you handle that? Plus, if they really transform into a heinous person with rapid strength advancement, won’t the Saint Emperor worry about this villain becoming too strong? Take the Nine Realms for instance; over the years, those truly harboring ill intentions have long been dealt with. Otherwise, who knows what situation the Nine Realms would be in now? These Saint Emperors govern Intermediate Worlds; how could they not be concerned about these matters?”

”Uh...” The Second City Lord thought for a while and then gave Su Yang a thumbs-up, ”What you said makes sense!”

”Nonsense!” Su Yang smirked, ”Can you think things through a little more thoroughly? Think about your reputation—finding a heinous person, you’re quite amusing!”

”Boss, if I thought so thoroughly, how could I highlight your brilliance?” The Second City Lord chuckled and continued, ”What should we do then?”

Su Yang thought for a moment and said, ”Forget it, let’s find an Intermediate World first. I’ll figure out a way once we’re inside!”

”That’s all we can do!” the Great City Lord nodded.

”Which Intermediate World should we go to?” the Second City Lord looked at Long Qiu.

Su Yang also looked at Long Qiu, as none of them knew more about the worlds than Long Qiu.

”Intermediate Worlds are divided into two kinds: those entrusted to the Guardian Gods, and those entrusted to the Demon Beast Clan,” Long Qiu explained. ”My suggestion is to go to the world assigned to the Demon Beast Clan. Because the worlds under the Guardian Gods are generally completely sealed off and protected by the Guardian Gods. Moreover, due to the high power level of Intermediate Worlds, the Guardian Gods send numerous people to guard them to prevent any accidents. In such a scenario, us trying to enter an Intermediate World would be quite difficult. Meanwhile, Intermediate Worlds under the Demon Beast Clan don’t have these issues. They don’t concern themselves with the development of Intermediate Worlds or seal them off. They only consume these worlds when needed, turning them into Spiritual Sources, but generally do not interfere with them in any way!”

”Sounds like going to an Intermediate World under the Demon Beast Clan is the best option!” the Second City Lord nodded repeatedly, looking at Su Yang, ”Boss, what do you think?”

Su Yang nodded slowly, actually thinking along the same lines. Because the Intermediate Worlds assigned to the Demon Beast Clan are not sealed, meaning this world can still receive external information. Conversely, going to a world within the range of the Guardian Gods would completely isolate them from outside news, which is unsuitable for Su Yang.

Upon entering an Intermediate World, he needs to closely observe external circumstances and be updated on the clash among the three forces, rather than being cut off completely.

”Since that’s the case, let’s choose an Intermediate World from the Demon Beast Clan,” Long Qiu suggested. ”Among the Intermediate Worlds I know, I’ll mention a few that won’t be consumed by the Demon Beast Clan in the short term. Boss, pick a world to go to!”

Su Yang nodded, listening to Long Qiu list several Intermediate Worlds. Su Yang matched these worlds with their locations in his mind.

Ultimately, Su Yang chose an Intermediate World closer to the Nine Realms, called the True Martial Realm.

The True Martial Realm is a fairly ordinary presence among Intermediate Worlds.

Its strength is neither too strong nor too weak. The True Martial Realm boasts thirteen Saint Emperors, with combat power considered adequate—not the top, but not the bottom either. Compared to the Demon Beast Clan, however, it’s insignificant.

The True Martial Realm is closer to the Nine Realms but quite distant from the Heavenly War Alliance. There’s another Intermediate World separating it from the Demon Beast Land. In other words, the Demon Beast Clan won’t be targeting the True Martial Realm in the short term.

The people within the True Martial Realm can be said to practice cultivation universally. They are well aware of external circumstances and know that the Demon Beast Clan will inevitably consume them someday. Therefore, over recent years, the inhabitants of the True Martial Realm have actively sought various methods to combat the Demon Beast Clan. In this endeavor, they are united as one, with the whole world devoid of internal conflicts, mainly focusing on collaborating to resist the Demon Beast Clan.

Su Yang, along with Long Qiu and others, arrived in the vicinity of the True Martial Realm. Su Yang placed Long Qiu within the Demon Beast Dynasty to continue gathering information. As for Su Yang, he hid his aura and strength and quietly approached the True Martial Realm with the three Crystal Skulls.

The True Martial Realm, similar to the White Jade Realm Su Yang had seen before, is also within a Star Domain. This Star Domain contains several thousand planets of various sizes, all inhabited by life.

At the center lies the largest planet, which serves as the main star of the True Martial Realm, and the location of the main vein of the True Martial Realm. All the planets in the True Martial Realm revolve around this main star, which essentially acts as the central hub of this world.

Every planet in the True Martial Realm contains Xuan-level Spiritual Energy, but the main star holds the most abundant supply.

The other planets exhibit varying levels of Xuan-level Spiritual Energy, dependent on their size and proximity to the main star.

Su Yang and his group selected one of the more ordinary planets, avoiding directly entering the main star. This is because all the Saint Emperors of the True Martial Realm reside on the main star, and any direct entry might risk immediate detection by them. By electing to enter a neighboring planet, they sidestep this concern.
