Chapter 2796: Battle of the Strongest
Upon thinking about these circumstances, Su Yang’s heart suddenly realized with a shock.
In that case, the man inside the previous World Tree is very likely to have been resurrected in another World Tree.
This means that this man has survived more than one World Tree.
If this person can resurrect, doesn’t that mean he has cultivated within two World Trees? So, just how powerful would this person’s ability be?
Another question is, what happens to this man’s memory after he is resurrected? Can he retain the memories he had in the previous World Tree? And what about his strength? Can his strength be the same as it was in the previous World Tree?
Of course, these doubts did not appear in the earlier memories. Or rather, the memories left by that branch stopped after sending that person away.
After that, the branch stayed in this forest, and nothing special happened. The man never returned, and it’s even unknown whether that man truly resurrected.
Su Yang vaguely recalled those memories just now. The most important question now is, why does this branch want to merge with him? Why does this memory want to enter his body? Could the branch be hinting something to him?
Or is the branch trying to get him to help find that man?
His heart was filled with doubts, but there was no way to ask. Perhaps only by finding that man could he understand the secrets involved.
Taking a deep breath, Su Yang did not linger here any longer. He had been here quite a while, and who knows what the situation is outside. If he doesn’t leave soon, who knows how anxious the Heaven Slayers would become!
Recalling his original entrance point, Su Yang located it and flew skyward at full speed.
After flying for an unknown amount of time, the forest below gradually shrank, and Su Yang once again returned to Chaos.
Standing amidst the Chaos, Su Yang finally let out a sigh of relief. This Chaos was the place he truly understood. That forest was too mysterious, too bizarre, filled with too many secrets. Being there gave him an indescribable sense of danger.
Just after stabilizing his footing, Su Yang suddenly discovered something shocking. His strength had improved by a significant margin, and at some point, he had actually entered the Heavenly Peak realm!
Su Yang was stunned for a while. He had just entered that forest, and during this time, he hadn’t been cultivating. How did he suddenly jump two realms in strength?
Previously, he was still at Mid-level Heavenly, not even having reached High Rank. Now, he’s directly at the peak? What exactly happened?
With doubts in his heart, Su Yang quickly tore through the Chaos and flew into the Great World. He needed to find the Heaven Slayers and others quickly, to explain the situation he encountered in Chaos and see if they knew what was going on.
Upon entering the Great World, Su Yang immediately sensed a strong fluctuation of power.
"The strongest are battling!" Su Yang’s expression changed; this fluctuation was from a battle of the strongest.
Could it be that the Human Clan and the Guardian God’s strongest are fighting again?
But weren’t both sides waiting for an opportunity? Why did they suddenly start fighting?
Su Yang quickly rushed toward the direction of the battle, and after more than a year, he finally saw the battlefield from afar.
Four strongest beings were fighting, one of whom was the Demon Lord, and the other three were among the strongest of the Guardian God. The three strongest of the Guardian God were besieging the Demon Lord alone!
Even so, the Demon Lord fought with great momentum, not at all at a disadvantage. In contrast, the three strongest of the Guardian God, despite being three against one, were actually suppressed by the Demon Lord, extremely embarrassed.
Su Yang watched from afar, the aftermath of the battle shaking his body.
This was because Su Yang had the Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone, plus his advancement to Heavenly Peak. Otherwise, any non-strongest being would not withstand such battle aftershocks, since this was the aftermath of the strongest battling!
If Su Yang hadn’t advanced to the Heavenly Peak, he wouldn’t be able to get so close. His Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone might withstand it, but his power wouldn’t support against the battle aftershocks, and it would easily send him flying.
At this moment, while Su Yang stood there, the Demon Lord also noticed Su Yang from afar.
He was initially startled, then overjoyed. Completely ignoring the three strongest Guardian Gods, he hurriedly rushed to Su Yang and said anxiously, "Little Yang, you’re... you’re back?"
Su Yang nodded, surprised, "Why are you fighting with them?"
Before the Demon Lord could speak, the three strongest beings had already flown over.
The Demon Lord immediately shielded Su Yang behind him, but the three strongest seemed to have no intention to attack. The leading strongest glared hard at Su Yang, gritting his teeth, "Isn’t this Su Yang from your Human Clan? You kept saying we captured Su Yang, forcing us to hand him over? Now that he’s come out himself, how do you explain this?"
Su Yang instantly understood what was going on. It seemed like when he entered that forest within Chaos, the Heaven Slayers couldn’t find him and thought the Guardian God had tampered, so they went to confront the Guardian God to demand his return, which led to the fight.
"Save your breath, I fell into your trap, which is why I was trapped for so many years!" Su Yang declared immediately, "Luckily, I didn’t give up, and managed to escape after much difficulty. Otherwise, I would surely be dead by now, and you still have the face to ask us for an explanation?"
Su Yang was lying, but he couldn’t lose the momentum.
The three strongest were at a loss for words, Su Yang’s words seemed credible, but the problem was, they were unaware of such matters.
"You’re slandering us!" a strongest angrily retorted, "We Guardian Gods never did such a thing! You think we’re as despicable as you Humans? Only setting traps is something lowly humans would do; we wouldn’t and wouldn’t bother!"
Su Yang replied, "Hah, you speak of yourself as so noble. What about the Heavenly Sect setting a trap to kill the Female Sword Saint? How do you explain that?"
"You..." The three strongest instantly couldn’t find the words. The Heavenly Sect did indeed do that, and they couldn’t refute it.
"I’ve just returned today, and I don’t want to argue with you!" Su Yang said coldly, "Go back and tell the First God that I will repay a hundredfold for what the Guardian God did to me!"
The three strongest looked at Su Yang in bewilderment; Su Yang seemed so convincing. But the problem was, what had the Guardian God really done to him?
