Supreme Warrior in the City

Everyone agreed to use strength to select the leader, and then they discussed the specific method.

It’s obviously unrealistic for everyone to fight each other. After all, with so many powerful figures from the primordial and ancient times, who knows how long it would take to finish all the battles?

Therefore, they finally came up with an appropriate method, which is to send three people from each era. These individuals would first decide the victory and defeat among themselves, and the winning era would become the candidate for the leader.

Then, within that era, they would select someone who could gain the respect of everyone in that era, and that would be sufficient.

After all, when people from different eras are together, nobody knows much about each other’s situations, so naturally, nobody would easily submit to anyone else.

But within the same era, it’s easier to choose someone whom everyone can respect.

With the method decided, everyone began to select the people to represent their era in the battle.

In fact, there wasn’t much of a need for selection. The leaders of the three groups from each era were actually the strongest, so it would ultimately be these three who would battle.

The problem arose in the era of Su Yang. During the discussion of the method, they hadn’t included Su Yang’s era in the consideration. After all, the Heavenly Warriors from the primordial times were extremely powerful, and besides Ye Wantong, there was no one else in Su Yang’s era who could contend with these warriors.

In such circumstances, the people of Su Yang’s era had no qualifications to compete and were naturally excluded.

However, just as they were about to begin the battles, an unexpected event occurred.

The Immortal Venerable looked at Su Yang and slowly said, "Alliance Hierarch Su, the candidates for the primordial and ancient eras have been decided. Have you picked someone from your era?"

Everyone turned to look at Su Yang, and a cultivator from the primordial era frowned, saying, "Immortal Venerable, in this era, both the Heavenly Dao and Earth Principle are gone. They have no spiritual energy and cannot cultivate to the Earth-level or Heavenly-level. Their power is weak, and that is inevitable."

"So, do the people of this era have no right to participate in this battle?" The Immortal Venerable glanced at the cultivator and whispered, "By doing so, you’re somewhat discriminating against this era’s people. Don’t forget, we are all from the Human Clan, and our return is due to their reshaping of reincarnation. How can you ignore them?"

The cultivator from the primordial era frowned and asked, "When did I ignore them? Everyone can see their lack of strength. How can they participate in this battle?"

"Even if they can’t participate, they shouldn’t be directly excluded!" The Immortal Venerable said, "Participation is one thing, but even if they lack strength, they should have the right to participate. By stripping them of that, isn’t that unreasonable?"

The cultivator from the primordial era grew angry: "Immortal Venerable, do you intend to use this event to provoke Alliance Hierarch Su, then heavily injure him to vent your previous grievances?"

"Senior, you’ve misunderstood. I just believe that Alliance Hierarch Su and people of his era have contributed so much to the Human Clan, they fully deserve to run for the leader!" The Immortal Venerable said slowly, "Moreover, our battles this time will be restrained; no one will get hurt or die. If you say that Alliance Hierarch Su and his people don’t dare to compete out of fear, isn’t that more of an insult to them?"

The Eternal Divine Emperor’s face was cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Changsheng, if you want to fight, I’ll accompany you. Such pettiness toward a junior of the later generations is disgraceful. Among the Heavenly Warriors, you are the least forthright, a real shame to us!"

The Immortal Venerable became furious, "Eternal Divine Emperor, our matters will be settled later. But for now, I must clear this matter. Alliance Hierarch Su, if you are truly afraid, just say so. You are still the leader of the human clan of your era. Yet here you stand, not even daring to utter a word. What, have you lost your courage along with your spiritual energy?"

Su Yang’s face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Immortal Venerable, it’s not your place to dictate how people of our era are. Just handle your own affairs!"

"Hmph, cowardice is cowardice, why bother with such nonsense!" The Immortal Venerable scoffed, "Fine, since the people of this era lack courage, let’s not waste any more time. My friends from the primordial times, who among you wishes to fight me?"

The three from the primordial times exchanged glances and lowered their heads to discuss who should first go to battle.

At that moment, a faint voice reached Su Yang’s ear: "Go and fight him!"

Su Yang turned in surprise to look around, but no one present reacted. This puzzled him. Was he the only one who heard this voice?

"Don’t bother looking for me; I’m not here. Just go and fight them. The position of Lord of the Human Clan can only be yours; none of them are fit!" The voice came again.

Su Yang was somewhat doubtful. The voice sounded like the Human Emperor’s. Was the Human Emperor asking him to fight? But the problem was, could he defeat these people with his strength?

"What are you hesitating for? Challenge the Immortal Venerable first!" The Human Emperor’s voice echoed again, "Rest assured, you can beat him!"

Though perplexed, Su Yang finally stood up: "No need to consider further. Immortal Venerable, I will fight you in this battle!"

"You want to fight me?" The Immortal Venerable was taken aback, and everyone in the crowd stared at Su Yang in astonishment. What was going on? Su Yang had only just entered the Earth-level realm, while everyone here was at the peak of the Earth-level. How could Su Yang challenge the Immortal Venerable?

"Alliance Hierarch Su!" The Eternal Divine Emperor quickly glanced at Su Yang.

Su Yang gestured to the Eternal Divine Emperor and said loudly, "Yes, I will fight you. You are right; our era shouldn’t retreat just because of weak power. Immortal Venerable, since the enmity between us is not trivial, I am now challenging you. Do you dare to fight me?"

The Immortal Venerable looked bewildered and surprised at Su Yang: "Su, have you gone mad? You want to fight me?"

The Nine-headed Demon Yuan, enjoying the commotion, laughed, "Immortal Venerable, we’ve all heard it. Alliance Hierarch Su has challenged you. What does this mean? Are you afraid to fight Alliance Hierarch Su?"

The Immortal Venerable’s expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Afraid to fight him? Hmph, I just fear that if I win, someone will accuse me of bullying the weak and helpless!"

"You don’t need to worry about that. Since I challenged you, whatever comes of it, I’ll bear alone!" Su Yang said coldly.
