Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 2669: Chapter 2669: Half-Demon, Half-Buddha

Clearly, the Illusion of the Heaven Slayer was suppressing those within the Immortal Palace so forcefully, leaving them quite dissatisfied. However, they didn’t dare to leave the Immortal Palace rashly, so they could only stifle their anger for the time being, although it didn’t mean they would give up.

Su Yang felt even more helpless. He was about to enter the Immortal Palace, yet the Buddha Venerable and the Illusion of the Heaven Slayer were still so overbearing outside. Wasn’t this creating trouble for himself? Provoking those within the Immortal Palace like this — what kind of outcome would await him once he entered?

Nonetheless, Su Yang understood well that the most critical issue now wasn’t about entering the Immortal Palace, but the fusion of his bones and flesh. Once his flesh was completely fused, wouldn’t his body be dominated by the Heaven Slayer’s Undying Bone?

And wouldn’t this completely fulfill the words previously spoken by the Divine Master? He was merely a Furnace for the Heaven Slayer’s reincarnation!

Before long, the flesh of Su Yang’s body was thoroughly fused with the bones, and he suddenly saw darkness before his eyes and passed out.

The three Crystal Skulls were watching from the side, not knowing what Su Yang had gone through, only witnessing Su Yang turn completely into a skeleton standing there.

About half an hour later, Su Yang gradually regained consciousness.

At this moment, Su Yang’s mind was foggy, and he felt bewildered himself; he didn’t know what his situation was. His last memory was that his bones had completely fused with his flesh. As for what happened afterwards, he was truly unclear.

However, upon regaining clarity, Su Yang discovered some peculiar changes in his body. He sensed that his flesh was slowly emerging from within the bones again.

"Boss, what’s going on with you?" exclaimed the Second City Lord suddenly.

"What’s wrong?" Su Yang asked in bewilderment.

The Great City Lord and the Third City Lord were also looking at Su Yang with shocked expressions.

Su Yang was puzzled; what was so astonishing about him?

"Boss, your arm!" exclaimed the Third City Lord urgently.

Su Yang looked down, observing his flesh recovering, regrowing — this was nothing surprising.

However, the truly shocking aspect was the blood flowing through his veins. The blood was no longer the previous red color but had turned golden, flowing in his veins, appearing very strange.

"What’s going on?" Su Yang exclaimed in surprise, unable to make sense of the situation either.

"Boss, look at your back!" the Great City Lord shouted out in surprise.

"My back?" Su Yang turned his head in amazement, pausing once more.

Behind Su Yang was originally the Illusion of the Heaven Slayer, a dim black silhouette. However, it had now changed dramatically.

One side of the illusion remained dim and black, unchanged from before. But the other side had turned golden, and this side resembled a person — a seated Buddha.

The illusion seemed to become a fusion of two individuals: one side was the powerful, demonic Heaven Slayer, and the other was the compassionate Buddha, flickering with golden light, full of Buddhist nature!

"What... What is going on with this!?" Su Yang widened his eyes. How did the Illusion of the Heaven Slayer undergo such a transformation?

One side demonic, one side Buddhist, a unity of Buddha and Demon, a dual-body in one?

As the illusion transformed, the Immortal Palace resounded with a series of unwilling roars. Clearly, those inside were reluctant to witness this scene.

This situation surprised Su Yang even more. Clearly, what the Buddha Venerable did was not something those in the Immortal Palace wanted to see, but what exactly was going on?

The Golden Winged Roc beside the Buddha Venerable was very excited upon seeing this scene, suddenly letting out an eagle cry. Immediately, the Golden Winged Roc waved its wings, and a stream of Mystic Qi enveloped Su Yang.

"This is Earth-level Spiritual Energy!" exclaimed the Great City Lord in astonishment, "Such pure Earth-level Spiritual Energy!"

"Boss, if you can’t advance to the Earth-level Realm, for me to absorb it instead!" The Second City Lord began to approach, only to be swept away by a wing from the Golden Winged Roc.

At this moment, Su Yang didn’t have time to think about anything else, because the Earth-level Spiritual Energy was wildly surging into his body.

It wasn’t him absorbing the energy; rather, the energy was entering his body of its own accord. The energy was intensely impacting his physical body, rapidly restoring it.

Su Yang could clearly feel that under the impact of this energy, his physical body was becoming more powerful.

This process wasn’t Su Yang’s cultivation; instead, it was as if the energy was sentient, constantly tempering his physical body, forcibly aiding his cultivation. Throughout this process, Su Yang felt like a mere spectator, unable to intervene.

After a long while, Su Yang’s flesh had finally completely recovered, and all the Mystic Qi had been absorbed by him.

The three Crystal Skulls watched this unfold in astonishment, with the Third City Lord exclaiming, "Boss, how do you feel?"

Su Yang didn’t respond; he was assessing the condition of his body.

"Boss, although the amount of Mystic Qi seemed small, it was definitely a substantial amount of Earth-level Spiritual Energy!" remarked the Second City Lord. "I estimate this energy could allow hundreds of Great Saint Emperors to ascend to the Earth-level Realm. Boss, if you don’t advance to the Earth-level Realm, it would be a waste of this energy!"

The Great City Lord also looked at Su Yang with anticipation, wondering if Su Yang could advance to the Earth-level Realm with such an abundance of energy.

Su Yang kept his eyes closed, quietly feeling the changes in his body.

He could sense that his physical body had become strangely integrated, as though it could meld better with his bones. This feeling was entirely different from before. Before, his flesh and bones seemed disunited, but now, they had become one.

Could it be that his body was destined to become the Heaven Slayer’s Furnace? But why was his consciousness still intact?

Su Yang had questions, but didn’t dwell on them too much. Ever since learning about the Illusion of the Heaven Slayer, Su Yang had mentally prepared himself. Perhaps he would indeed become the Heaven Slayer’s Furnace one day. But then again, if it meant protecting the Human Clan, sacrificing himself wouldn’t be a big deal.

Moreover, if he hadn’t cultivated the Heaven Slayer’s Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book, he might have long since turned to dust. How could he have lived for so long otherwise?

Feeling his strength, Su Yang suddenly discovered with joy that he had advanced — he had indeed reached the Earth-level Realm!

"I... I’ve also reached the Earth-level Realm!?" Su Yang exclaimed joyfully.
