Supreme Warrior in the City

”Who dares to cause mayhem here?” A furious roar emanated from within the planet, followed closely by a massive light phantom that soared out, enveloping half the planet, shrouding this entire region in darkness.

Su Yang was shaken, had he found just any planet and encountered someone with such strength within? The display was terrifying, was the guardian god within this planet so powerful?

This light phantom immediately spotted Su Yang, looked visibly stunned for a moment, then became enraged, shouting, ”It’s you, thief, how dare you show up here!”

No doubt, previously when Su Yang was outside, those inside the Immortal Palace had already remembered him.

Su Yang was completely unfazed; he flew into the air, locked eyes with the light phantom, and shouted, ”That’s right, it’s your grandpa. Upon seeing your grandpa, don’t you know to kneel?”

”Seeking death!” the light phantom roared, stretched out a massive hand, and fiercely slapped it towards Su Yang.

Su Yang’s heart trembled, despite having reached the Earth-level Realm now. However, he was well aware that his limited power could not withstand this light phantom at all. His only reliance was the Heaven Slayer Illusion; he wondered if the Heaven Slayer Illusion would act.

Almost as if sensing Su Yang’s thoughts, the Heaven Slayer Illusion emerged from within him, transformed into a giant in the air, and confronted the light phantom from afar.

The light phantom delivered a crushing blow, and the Heaven Slayer was about to retaliate. At this moment, another side, the Buddha, let out a soft shout; golden light filled the sky, forcibly supporting the giant hand.

The light phantom’s strike was blocked, enraging it further, causing it to roar endlessly, leaping out of the planet in fury and charging towards them.

Seated cross-legged in the void, the Buddha clasped his hands together, emitting a continuous Buddhist chant, the golden light in the sky grew increasingly intense, imprisoning the light phantom within.

The light phantom struggled desperately but could not escape the golden light, instead being gradually suppressed by it, and its form began to shrink. Moreover, the golden light searing the light phantom emitted sizzling sounds, continually depleting the light phantom.

Originally pondering whether the Heaven Slayer Illusion could aid him, Su Yang did not expect such a spectacle to unfold; the Heaven Slayer had not even acted before the Buddha was already purifying the light phantom.

One must admit, the Buddha’s power was equally formidable. Under the scorching golden light, the light phantom was quickly dissolved by more than half.

Moreover, the light phantom had lost its previous arrogance, wailing within the golden light as if pleading for mercy.

The Buddha, somewhat compassionate, hesitated with his chants briefly.

The Heaven Slayer’s eyes sparkled, grasped the Heaven-Slaying Blade, and fiercely cleaved down, shattering the light phantom into fragments.

Then, the Heaven Slayer inhaled, swallowing all the fragments of the light phantom. That massive light phantom completely vanished at that moment!

The Buddha witnessed it all, slowly closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged once again.

Su Yang watched this scene unfold, astounded to the core. He could distinctly feel that after such a transformation in the Illusion, the power seemed slightly enhanced. Be it the Illusion’s or the Buddha’s power, both had been amplified by each other, becoming more potent!

What was this situation indeed?

Why could the Buddha and Heaven Slayer merge so seamlessly? What connection truly existed between them? Could it be that there’s some connection between Buddha Venerable and Heaven Slayer?

However, Su Yang had no time to ponder these matters now. Having dealt with the light phantom, he swiftly landed on the planet below.

Since he dealt with the person, it was naturally time for a plunder. After slaying, shouldn’t one proceed downward to raid the household?

As the three Crystal Skulls said earlier, every planet here is a dwelling for a powerful figure. This planet was the residence of the light phantom.

After the light phantom was slain, there remained no life on the planet, and nothing to obstruct Su Yang.

Su Yang searched within and found a resplendent palace within the planet; its plaque bore four large characters—The Verdant Palace!

Zixun, the Verdant God, was presumably the name of the light phantom earlier.

Su Yang entered the Divine Palace, explored within, and discovered the Treasure House of Zixun, the Verdant God.

Within The Verdant Palace, there was no Array or the likes. After all, this was the dwelling of the strongest among the guardian gods; no one dared to act recklessly here. The powerful ones residing here had their statuses and hence would not steal or seize from others, naturally not requiring Array protection.

Of course, this worked to Su Yang’s advantage, allowing him to easily clean out Zixun, the Verdant God’s assets.

At the realm of Zixun, there weren’t Spiritual Sources or such within. They were darlings of the Heavenly Dao, possessing endless Spiritual Energy, rendering Spiritual Sources unnecessary. Thus, the majority consisted of formidable Divine Artifacts.

Su Yang looted all these Divine Artifacts, then promptly left the planet.

The battle shook the heavens, undoubtedly alerting nearby individuals; someone might have already rushed over. Continually staying here would only result in being surrounded.

Maneuvering through a direction, Su Yang ventured towards another planet.

As before, Su Yang initiated a provocation, drawing the planet’s owner out. Subsequently, the Illusion would act to slay the owner, then Su Yang would descend for the raid.

Thus, repeatedly, Su Yang slew the owners of four planets in succession but dared not linger further.

Having slain so many powerful entities, the matter undoubtedly escalated, with nearby guardian gods likely coming forth to pursue him. Perhaps they were even lying in wait at some location, anticipating Su Yang’s passage.

Under such circumstances, continuing to slay powerful beings nearby might not remain feasible. The best approach is to leave this territory first, wait for them to relax, and then return for the slaughter.

Continuing such repetition, as Su Yang lurked in shadows while they remained in light, incessantly agitating, completely infuriating the guardian gods, drawing them out for a massive pursuit of Su Yang, giving him a chance to seize the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet from the First Divine Palace.

Of course, Su Yang was uncertain if his strategy would succeed, but currently, it was his solitary option. Given the situation, it was impossible for him to single-handedly attack the First Divine Palace to forcibly seize the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet. Alternatively, the Illusion feared no entity within, yet once the guardian gods joint forces inside, the Illusion could not contend!
