Supreme Warrior in the City-Chapter 2335: Jinghong Saint King

"Isn't it odd why I would want to become like them?" Jinghong Saint King said with a faint smile.

Su Yang slowly nodded, "I really can't figure it out."

"It's normal that you don't understand!" Jinghong Saint King stood up, folded his arms behind his back, and said coldly, "Since ancient times, the Demon Beast Clan has been regarded as a symbol of savagery. In the eyes of the Guardian Gods and Heavenly Warriors, we are akin to beasts. Those they keep are treated like livestock to be driven. Those they don't keep are considered wild animals. Perhaps they fear our strength, but they hardly respect us, let alone consider us worthy of notice!"

"Guardian Gods, protected by the Heavenly Dao, look down on everything. Heavenly Warriors defy the heavens, wielding the Earth Principles to fight against the Heavenly Dao, lawless and unruly. They consider themselves superior, believing they are the chosen of the universe, able to trample all Demon Beasts underfoot. Yet, they forget that our Demon Beast Clan, without Heavenly Dao Earth Principles, are not inferior to any lineage. We don't need external support to be as strong as they are, so what qualifications do they have to look down on us?"

"Therefore, when we Demon Beasts reach the Saint King Realm, we transform into human shape to show the Guardian Gods and Heavenly Warriors that we are no different from them, and they have no right to criticize us!"

Listening to these words, Su Yang was completely stunned.

He had heard of the Guardian Gods and Heavenly Warriors many times. However, he knew very little about the true affairs of Guardian Gods and Heavenly Warriors.

Now, the words of Jinghong Saint King revealed a lot of information that Su Yang wanted to know, which was completely unexpected for him.

The Guardian Gods protected by the Heavenly Dao, Heavenly Warriors defying fate using the Earth Principles, what exactly do these phrases mean?

The first sentence was relatively easy to understand, but what Su Yang couldn't grasp was the last sentence about wielding the Earth Principles to fight the Heavenly Dao, what does this really mean?

However, Su Yang didn't dare to ask Jinghong Saint King. He wasn't sure if other Demon Beasts knew about it. If others did know and he still asked Jinghong Saint King, it would certainly arouse suspicion, leading to unnecessary trouble.

So, Su Yang could only remain silent despite his curiosity, hoping Jinghong Saint King would continue to explain previous statements.

However, Jinghong Saint King did not do as Su Yang hoped. After saying those words, he directly turned and looked at Su Yang, "In the future, when you advance to the Saint King Realm, you will also need to take on human form. This is the decree of the Saint Emperor and a stance towards the Guardian Gods and Heavenly Warriors!"

Su Yang's heart stirred; Jinghong Saint King planned to promote him to Saint King? This meant that Jinghong Saint King didn't know his identity.

"I am still far from the Saint King Realm, perhaps this lifetime won't see me reach Saint King," Su Yang quickly responded.

"Hehe..." Jinghong Saint King laughed, "Jiushi, you shouldn't belittle yourself. I watched your battle with Five Pouring. If there is anyone under my command who can advance to Saint King, it would be you!"

Su Yang was secretly surprised; was Jinghong Saint King's evaluation good or bad news for him? If Jinghong Saint King deemed him a threat, would he try to kill him? The principle of striking down the leading bird was clear to Su Yang; had he perhaps exposed himself too much?

Perhaps noticing Su Yang's concern, Jinghong Saint King smiled faintly, "Don't worry; I am not such a petty king. If another Saint King rises under my rule, it's also my honor. Though my future is restricted, more than ten Saint Kings have already emerged from under my command. Therefore, in front of the Saint Emperor, I, Jinghong, still hold a bit of sway. Jiushi, if you advance to Saint King, I can gain more face before the Saint Emperor in the future!"

Su Yang glanced at Jinghong Saint King, inwardly admiring him. Indeed, Jinghong Saint King was a broad-minded existence. Compared to Six Trigrams Saint Venerable, Unihorn Saint Venerable, and Five Pouring Saint Venerable, he was far superior.

Those Saint Venerables were always vying for the possessions of other Demon Beasts. Yet, Jinghong Saint King even supported the younger generation, which was no easy feat. At least, those Saint Venerables couldn't achieve what he did.

"The inheritance from the Ancient Demon Beast you received is more potent compared to the other Saint Venerables. However, it's likely incomplete Magic, not whole, providing little aid for your current cultivation," Jinghong Saint King said. "I summoned you here to offer you an opportunity to aid you."

"Oh?" Su Yang was surprised. What opportunity might Jinghong Saint King offer him?

Jinghong Saint King walked to Su Yang, flicked his wrist, and a Round Disc appeared before him, precisely the Magic Artifact for crossing space.

"Follow me!" Jinghong Saint King said, and directly walked into the spatial rift ahead.

With anxiety, Su Yang wondered where Jinghong Saint King was taking him but followed him.

With one step forward, all around was pitch black, and Su Yang didn't even know where he had arrived.

"Stay close to me!" Jinghong Saint King's voice sounded from behind, and Su Yang hastily turned to follow.

Soon after, a small planet appeared ahead. As they neared the planet, several Demon Beasts flew up from below, all armed and armored, blocking their path.

Upon seeing them, the leading Demon Beast immediately bowed, "So it's Jinghong Saint King, forgive the offense, please excuse us!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"No problem!" Jinghong Saint King waved, "I brought a young one, wishing to borrow the Teleportation Gate!"

"Jinghong Saint King is far too courteous, please follow me!" The Demon Beast promptly led Jinghong Saint King and Su Yang down.

Su Yang was puzzled; Jinghong Saint King's Round Disc could perform spatial teleportation, so why use the Teleportation Gate?

And what exactly was this Teleportation Gate?

As if sensing Su Yang's doubts, Jinghong Saint King said, "The Teleportation Gate is modeled after those constructed by the Guardian Gods and Heavenly Warriors. With sufficient Spiritual Source infused, you can teleport anywhere you wish. Where I intend to take you, even if I exerted full effort, it would take over a hundred uses to teleport there, and that's too taxing. The Teleportation Gate consumes less and works faster."

Su Yang was utterly astounded; Jinghong Saint King was going to take him somewhere so far away? Even with Saint King strength, it took a hundred uses of the Round Disc to get there? This distance was beyond Su Yang's imagination!

Soon, the Demon Beast led them to the planet. On the planet stood a massive door, carved with many patterns, some strange runes, jointly forming an Array.
