Supreme Warrior in the City

"What brings you here, acting as a messenger for us?" The Human Emperor sneered, "Eternal, not only are you a spy, but now you’re an envoy? Nonetheless, we won’t kill you. In a war between two armies, envoys aren’t slain!"

The Eternal Main God was about to cough up blood; the Human Emperor’s words were too cutting.

"Heaven Slayer, we know you intend to groom Su Yang into the next strongest. However, on the Guardian God’s side, we also have six candidates for the strongest!" The Eternal Main God simply ignored the Human Emperor and turned directly to Heaven Slayer: "You also understand that the Chaos Flower is about to bloom, which is the crucial item for the strongest to advance. Each time we’ve fought for the Chaos Flower, many on both sides have died in vain. Eventually the Chaos Flower shatters, and neither side benefits. If over the years we had managed to utilize the Chaos Flower properly, at least a dozen of the strongest could have been nurtured by now!"

"What exactly are you suggesting?" Heaven Slayer asked coldly, "Surely you aren’t coming here to persuade us not to fight over the Chaos Flower?"

"That’s not it!" The Eternal Main God shook his head, "What we’re suggesting is, since this era is where we must finally resolve our grudges, let’s be straightforward and enhance the strength of both parties. We still need to vie for the Chaos Flower, but the method of contention must change!"

"How should it change?" Heaven Slayer asked coldly.

"Very simple!" The Eternal Main God smiled, "The strongest won’t participate; instead, let those with the greatest potential to become the strongest fight for it themselves. As long as the strongest refrain from intervening, the Chaos Flower won’t shatter. This way, regardless of who wins it, the flower can be utilized by either side without waste. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Heaven Slayer and his people frowned deeply.

The Eternal Main God’s proposal sounded very reasonable, but in truth, it was far from it. On the Guardian God’s side, there were six individuals with the posture of the strongest, while on the Human Clan’s side, only Su Yang had it.

If things proceeded according to the Guardian God’s suggestion, Su Yang would single-handedly contend against six opponents, which was the most unreasonable part.

"What’s the matter? Is there hesitation?" The Eternal Main God sneered, "Do you dare not agree because you think your candidates for the strongest are too weak to seize the Chaos Flower?"

Heaven Slayer and others looked even more displeased; the Eternal Main God seemed to want to use provocation tactics.

However, this matter was truly embarrassing.

To advance to become the strongest, one must possess an indomitable spirit. If they reject this matter, it would be a blow to the Human Clan’s candidate for the strongest, damaging their path and making their advancement journey even more difficult.

Yet, agreeing would be even more dangerous.

After much deliberation, Heaven Slayer and his companions exchanged glances and ultimately decided to reject the proposal.

Heaven Slayer was about to speak when suddenly he paused, looking toward the distant forest.

The other strongest also sensed the aura, including the Eternal Main God, who glanced over with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

In the sky above the forest, a sudden luminous phenomenon appeared unexpectedly.

Everyone became excited; this was a sign of Su Yang emerging from seclusion—he was advancing once again!

The Eternal Main God’s expression slightly changed, surprised to be witnessing Su Yang’s emergence right at this moment. The speed of his advancement was astonishing!

Under the gaze of all present, the luminous phenomenon in the sky grew increasingly intense, beams of light soaring skyward, seemingly connecting with the heavens.

Finally, these lights slowly descended into the forest below, and at this moment, the array outside the forest gradually dissipated.

With everyone’s attention on him, Su Yang casually walked out from the forest.

This time, Su Yang emerged refined and calm, appearing just like a regular person.

But everyone knew that this hinted at reaching mid-level Heavenly!

Su Yang, within just a few decades, had leapt across two levels, from the Peak of Earth-level directly into mid-level Heavenly; what kind of extraordinary talent was this?

The Eternal Main God also frowned; he hadn’t encountered Su Yang before and naturally was unclear about Su Yang’s circumstances. Now, witnessing Su Yang’s emergence, seeing him face-to-face for the first time, it became clear why the First God valued Su Yang so highly.

This person, once developed, could truly become a dire threat to the Guardian Gods!

Qi’er stood beside the forest and, upon seeing Su Yang come out, joyfully ran over: "Brother Su, you’ve come out!"

The surrounding audience was awestruck. Here stood the Palace Master Yu Ling of the Ancient Three Strong, the daughter of the Ancient Human Emperor. Not only the Ancient Heaven Warriors but also the Ancient Heaven Fighters regarded her as akin to a Heavenly Immortal.

Yet now, Qi’er seemed like a child before Su Yang, showing such endearing demeanor. The most surprising was her affectionate address for Su Yang, which left people amazed.

Even if Su Yang was indeed an epochal powerhouse akin to the Ancient Buddha Venerable, for cultivators, age wasn’t the main concern; prowess was key.

The principle of "strength sets precedence" is a vital rule among cultivators.

The Demon Lord is actually a post-ancient cultivator, truly born during the Ancient Times and rising from those eras. Though he isn’t synchronized with those of the Ancient cultivators by an entire era, it doesn’t diminish the status of the Demon Lord. Even revered by Ancient cultivators, it’s all due to his profound strength!

Though Su Yang very likely advanced to the strongest, he hadn’t yet achieved that level. In front of the strongest, respect must still be maintained.

However, Qi’er’s manner of address and her attitude left everyone sighing in awe.

Many even cast a glance toward the Human Emperor, including the Taoist Venerable, who gave the Human Emperor a furtive look.

The Human Emperor wore a helpless expression, chuckling wryly, "A daughter becomes hard to retain once grown-up!"

Ye Wantong stood nearby, yet she showed no signs of anger. In truth, from the beginning, Qi’er was always alongside Su Yang; she found herself more as a latecomer.

Su Yang walked to the two women beside him, looking up at the heavenly Eternal Main God, showing a faint smile: "Eternal, we meet again!"

The Eternal Main God had learned of Su Yang’s identity, and indeed, he belonged to the same era as the Ancient and First God, fittingly having met Su Yang from the start. Thus, speaking of meeting again posed no issue.

The Eternal Main God replied coldly, "After the opening of heavens, we parted swiftly; I thought, like many Heaven-opening Cultivators, you had faded into the mundane. Never imagined, you had such plans set!"
