Supreme Warrior in the City

"This is strange!" Taoist Venerable said confusedly, "Without any traces of life, what exactly is absorbing the spiritual energy?"

The group discussed extensively, but found no answer.

Su Yang was silent for a while and suddenly said, "Everyone, step aside. Let me first collect this star domain."

The group withdrew from the domain’s range, and Su Yang opened his personal space, collecting the entire star domain within.

Even though the domain was vast, after advancing to the strongest level, Su Yang’s personal space was also immense. Collecting the star domain within was not difficult.

"Let’s see if it’s this broken star domain absorbing the spiritual energy, or if it’s this space absorbing the energy!" Eternal Divine Emperor hurriedly said.

Su Yang closed his eyes, carefully sensing the flow of Earth Principle Spiritual Energy.

This time, Su Yang clearly felt the energy beginning to flow toward his personal space.

This meant that the broken star domain was absorbing the spiritual energy, not the space itself.

Seeing the expression on Su Yang’s face, the group naturally understood what had happened.

"Is it truly the star domain absorbing the energy?" The Human Emperor said in shock, "Does this mean the broken star domain contains life? And even we strongest cannot detect traces of life? How is this possible? Is someone concealing the presence of life? But with Su Alliance Leader here, even a Heavenly Venerable couldn’t hide life’s presence!"

Eternal Divine Emperor furrowed his brows: "This is truly curious. What exactly is the situation with these star domains?"

Demon Lord said, "I’d like to know what exactly happened to this star domain before!"

The group was full of confusion, and Su Yang remained silent for a moment, then softly said, "There must be something wrong with this star domain. I have a proposal."

"Please speak, Su Alliance Leader!" The group urged.

"This star domain can absorb spiritual energy, meaning there are traces of life inside. The fact that even we do not perceive them makes the situation quite peculiar." Su Yang said, "I want to inject more spiritual energy into the star domain to foster the life within. Once they grow, we can understand the situation clearly!"

The group exchanged glances, and the Human Emperor whispered, "Su Alliance Leader, we don’t know the status of life in this star domain. If they turn out to be people of the Guardian God, won’t we be nurturing adversaries?"

"It’s alright!" Su Yang said calmly, "I will observe the life in this domain, and moreover, the speed at which they absorb energy is not fast; they should not be among the strongest. The spiritual energy goes in dispersedly, meaning their power should be weak, so we need not worry much."

Since Su Yang had spoken, the group naturally did not object. In fact, they were also eager to know the situation of life in the star domain.

Subsequently, Su Yang accelerated the rate at which the Earth Principle released spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy from Earth Principle was endless, so even as Su Yang sped up its release, Earth Principle was unaffected.

The amount of energy absorbed by other strong members was steady, so the remaining spiritual energy flowed massively into the broken star domain.

Su Yang distinctly felt that as the spiritual energy poured in, the broken star domain unexpectedly absorbed it all, which surprised him.

However, though the star domain absorbed large amounts of energy, it showed no significant change.

Su Yang observed for a while, saw no movement, and decided to temporarily ignore it.

"Let us proceed onward!" Su Yang declared aloud, "Though we are unsure where Heaven Slayer and Buddha Venerable have gone, we are approaching the core area of the Guardian Land. There lies the Guardian God’s Immortal Palace. If the guardian gods and the strongest are absent, we’ll first occupy the Immortal Palace as our foothold!"

Everyone’s eyes brightened; this proposal was quite appealing.

The Immortal Palace was originally carved out forcibly by the First God and others from a Great World, made into a residence for the Guardian God strong members. It was teeming with spiritual energy and contained powerful materials left behind by the Guardian God’s strongest.

Occupying the Immortal Palace was indeed an advantageous move, as the Human Clan’s strong members were nearly wiped out, and they need not worry about protecting the Human Clan.

Following Su Yang’s suggestion, the group quickly advanced to the Guardian Land’s core area.

Along the way, they came upon several battle remnants, scattered with ruined debris.

In these places, Su Yang also attempted to sense the flow of Earth Principle Spiritual Energy.

As a result, only one location showed signs of energy absorption among all the battle relics. The other remains showed no such occurrence, indicating not every ruin exhibits energy absorption.

Su Yang collected that energy-absorbing broken star domain into his personal space; he sought to understand why these domains absorbed energy while others did not.

As they continued deep, they saw no more battlefields, suggesting their direction was wrong and they had not entered the core of the Guardian Land.

Such conditions were normal.

With Heaven Slayer and Buddha Venerable bringing many Blood Shadows, the strongest guardian gods must have been unable to stop them.

If the First God led the Blood Shadows into the depths of the Guardian Land, it would ultimately turn the Guardian Land into a wasteland.

The Guardian Land was home to countless guardian gods. These gods were not as powerful as the strongest, akin to ants in the face of battles between the strongest. Any residual wave of conflict could crush them completely.

If the First God continued leading Blood Shadows deeper, the result would be all guardian gods perishing from the battle excess.

Thus, the First God surely intended to lead the Blood Shadows out of the Guardian Land to prevent innocent guardian gods dying.

Yet, Su Yang and his group did not aim to search elsewhere.

All remnants were decades old, meaning battles had ended decades ago, and those people were long gone.

Even if they followed the traces of battles out, beyond the Guardian Land would show neither broken star domains nor battle remnants. Tracking them further once outside would be impossible.

Therefore, pursuing the battle signs outward was not optimal. Seizing the Immortal Palace was a more suitable choice.
