Supreme Warrior in the City

Qi’er spoke, extending her right hand, and a small sapling appeared in her hand, which was a miniature World Tree.

Su Yang glanced at it and nodded: "That’s right, it’s exactly like your World Tree. I’ve checked many trees inside, and the only difference from your World Tree is that there is no Chaos Vine!"

"How can this be? Is the World Tree not unique?" Qi’er was bewildered, and the others also looked surprised. This was something they had never considered.

"This is also what I find very strange!" Su Yang shrugged: "The key point is that in that place, half of the World Tree is withered, and the other half is full of life, as if it’s undergoing a transition between the old and new."

"Did you find any life in those woods?" the Taoist Venerable asked.

Su Yang thought carefully for a while and slowly shook his head: "Apart from the seven coffins in the black holes, there isn’t any other life."

"Seven coffins?" The group looked at each other again, these seven coffins were certainly perplexing, what could be the situation?

"What do the seven coffins look like?" the Heaven Slayer quickly asked.

Su Yang described the situation of the seven coffins, and the Heaven Slayer and several others showed no impression. It seems that such coffins are quite common and cannot be distinguished from other coffins.

"However, from your description, these seven coffins seem to be made of unusual materials!" Qi’er suddenly said: "The wood used for these coffins is most likely branches of the World Tree!"

"Branches of the World Tree?" The Taoist Venerable was surprised: "No way? What kind of person is buried there that would require such grandeur, using branches of the World Tree for coffins? Could it be the Strongest buried inside?"

"From Su Yang’s description, even if not the Strongest, their power definitely wouldn’t be weaker!" the Human Emperor said solemnly.

The others nodded, indeed, based on Su Yang’s description, this seemed to be the case.

The Taoist Venerable said curiously: "But where are these seven mighty beings now? We know all the Strongest!"

No one in the group could answer this question, and it was the most perplexing issue for them.

Su Yang said: "By the way, I broke open one of the coffins, and a person was exposed inside!"

"Oh? What person?" the others asked quickly.

Su Yang described the situation of the person, and after listening, everyone was stunned.

"What? Have you seen this person?" Su Yang asked curiously, the expressions of the group seemed a bit strange.

The group exchanged glances, and finally, the Buddha Venerable took a deep breath and said solemnly: "According to your description of this person, he... he seems to be the Third Heavenly Venerate among the Seven Heavenly Venerables!"

"What?" Su Yang’s eyes widened: "How is this possible? The Seven Heavenly Venerates all died in battle, with only the last Heavenly Venerate still alive. How could this Third Heavenly Venerate still be around?"

"The Third Heavenly Venerate did indeed die in battle, and we personally completely obliterated him, leaving nothing from Spiritual Sense to the flesh!" the Human Emperor said solemnly: "The issue is, the person you described indeed looks like the Third Heavenly Venerate!"

"How... how is this possible, how can this be?" Su Yang was shocked: "You confirmed he was dead, how could he appear again?"

"That’s precisely the biggest problem!" the Human Emperor said solemnly: "The Third Heavenly Venerate was indeed killed by us personally, and we confirmed countless times, he was truly dead, impossible to resurrect. In fact, every time we kill a Heavenly Venerate, we would confirm countless times, not only us but also use the power of Earth Principle to ensure no errors occur. Therefore, we can confidently say, that those six Heavenly Venerates were all slain by us."

Speaking of which, the Human Emperor sighed and said in a low voice: "But the person you described, indeed looks like the Third Heavenly Venerate!"

"This..." Su Yang scratched his head: "Could it be that I made a mistake in explaining, after all, you didn’t see it for yourself, just heard my description."

"As long as your description hasn’t deviated too much, then it shouldn’t be wrong." the Taoist Venerable said: "Moreover, it’s impossible to casually meet someone who looks so much like the Third Heavenly Venerate. The most crucial point is, the power is also substantial, which makes it even more unlikely!"

"Does that mean this person could indeed be the Third Heavenly Venerate?" Su Yang’s expression changed drastically: "He has already gathered his body, he has been resurrected?"

The few strongest exchanged glances, unable to respond to Su Yang’s statement.

Su Yang suddenly recalled something, and asked: "Could it be that someone has turned into the Third Heavenly Venerate’s appearance to intentionally deceive us?"

"That’s impossible!" the Taoist Venerable replied straightforwardly: "No one can become a Heavenly Venerate’s appearance!"

"Why?" Su Yang was surprised.

"Once you reach the realm of the Strongest, you’ll understand. Not only can no one become a Heavenly Venerate’s appearance, no one can even become the appearance of the Strongest!" the Human Emperor said: "To become the Strongest, one must find their own Law, the Law of the universe. And the mark of becoming the Strongest is completely merging with this Law, where oneself is the Law, and the Law is oneself. That means, the Strongest themselves represent a kind of Law, a kind of unyielding majesty!"

"Under such circumstances, if someone tries to turn into the Strongest’s appearance, it’s challenging this Law, challenging the rules of this world. Unless they can completely break this Law, disrupt this order, otherwise, they simply can’t succeed, and thus, cannot become the appearance of the Strongest!"

"We, as the Strongest, might be able to defeat other Strongest. However, it doesn’t mean we can defeat their Laws. All Laws are equal; no Law can defeat another kind of Law. Therefore, no Strongest can turn into another Strongest!"

"Similarly, with Heavenly Venerates as well. Heavenly Venerates are the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao Will. If you become a Heavenly Venerate’s appearance, you’re challenging the Heavenly Dao. Only by completely destroying the Heavenly Dao can you become the appearance of a Heavenly Venerate!"

Su Yang suddenly realized, nodding slowly: "No wonder the Transformation Technique left by the Heaven Slayer disappears at the Heavenly Realm, that’s the reason!"

Su Yang immediately frowned and said solemnly: "In that case, if this person’s appearance is indeed like the Third Heavenly Venerate, then he must be the Third Heavenly Venerate!"

The group nodded unanimously; this aspect wasn’t questioned by these Strongest figures.

Su Yang once again recalled the appearance of that person in his mind, becoming increasingly certain internally, that person was basically the Third Heavenly Venerate!

But, why would this be?
