NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 16: Sovereign's Power
Laurent finished speaking and handed Roy a storage ring.
"Roy, consider this my investment in you."
"As long as you don't disappoint me, I, Laurent, will give you more than you can imagine."
After bidding farewell to City Lord Laurent, Roy returned to his palace.
When Roy dripped blood to claim ownership and saw the contents of the ring, his heart stopped beating for several tens of minutes.
Most people would not recognize what was inside.
And for those who did, the vast majority would go mad for it, even willing to start a war of extermination.
This item could even be called "heritage" within great families.
It was a drop of earth-yellow liquid, like a water droplet. Simply observing it with divine sense, one could feel the immense pressure emanating from it.
Roy had no doubt that once the energy within this earth-yellow droplet was fully released, Sanhe City itself would likely not be spared.
If Roy didn't have memories of this world from his previous life, he probably wouldn't have known what it was.
It was Sovereign Power, specifically, Earth Element Sovereign Power!
Upon use, it could amplify one's strength a hundredfold before the Sovereign Power dissipated.
In other words, a Five-star Devil who used Sovereign Power could temporarily rival a Seven-star Demon.
Taking a deep breath, Roy suppressed the urge to merge this drop of Sovereign Power into himself and withdrew his divine sense from the spatial ring.
As expected.
First, a scroll to contact the Sovereign, and now, Sovereign Power.
Laurent, either has a senior who is a Sovereign's Emissary, or is a direct descendant of a Lord God Family.
Putting away the spatial ring, Roy began to fuse the Profound Mysteries of Laws.
Currently, Roy had fully comprehended four Profound Mysteries of Laws: "Earth Element," "Gravity Space," "Earth Travel Technique," and "Life Force."
His strongest technique was "Chibaku Tensei," which fully fused "Earth Element," "Gravity Space," and "Life Force." The power of this technique had elevated Roy's current strength to the Five-star Devil level.
Next were "Almighty Push" and "Universal Attraction," which fused "Earth Element," "Gravity Space," and "Earth Travel Technique." In the hands of a God like Roy, these were also Five-star Devil level techniques.
Ever since Roy fully comprehended "Life Force," he felt his affinity for the Profound Mysteries of Laws had decreased significantly.
"Life Force" and the other three Profound Mysteries of Laws already had points of compatibility, but achieving complete fusion of all four Profound Mysteries of Laws was ten times more difficult than before.
Now that he possessed this drop of Sovereign Power, Roy's sense of security had increased by a significant margin.
Therefore, for his future cultivation, Roy planned to simultaneously fuse the four Profound Mysteries of Laws and first fuse the "Strength" Profound Mysteries of Laws and "Earth Pulse" Profound Mysteries of Laws, which he had only just begun to comprehend, with the other four.
Once he found the points of compatibility, he would then proceed to deeply comprehend the Profound Mysteries of Laws. This method of fusing and comprehending simultaneously was tens of thousands of times easier than fully comprehending the Profound Mysteries of Laws before fusing them.
By then, when Roy became a High-level God, he would at least have one powerful technique that fused six Profound Mysteries of Laws, reaching a level of "suspected Paragon."
As for becoming Paragon while simultaneously becoming a High-level God, Roy hadn't even considered that possibility.
The more he cultivated, the more he understood how despair-inducing it was to achieve Paragon.
This was all with Roy having foresight and the foundations of two worlds. His previous life's perspective provided him with directions and ideas for cultivation, while his current life's strength was used to realize those directions and ideas one by one.
The next ten thousand years marked a period of rapid development for Sanhe City.
Of the more than nine thousand Saint Realm cultivators, over seven thousand were promoted to Demigod, one thousand refined Godheads to become gods, and thirty-eight were promoted to God.
The rest died in various accidents.
One day, a Demigod knocked on the door of Roy's palace.
"Lord Roy, the City Lord requests your presence."
This Demigod bowed respectfully at the entrance of Roy's palace. He was one of the Saint Realm cultivators Roy had brought back over ten thousand years ago.
As their strength and experience increased, this group felt Roy's power more and more.
In over ten thousand years, Sanhe City's development had entered the right track. The Demon Castle and Auction House provided numerous demon missions for Sanhe City every year.
Many from their group had become demons in the Demon Castle, but they were mostly one-star or two-star demons.
Demons of three-star and above were basically outsiders.
These people naturally looked down on them, the inhabitants of this newly established city.
However, when they learned that the "Strongest God of Sanhe City" rumored throughout the city was the renowned 'Star Demon,' their arrogance vanished.
The Star Demon was a powerhouse who had fought his way back to Sanhe City from the Planar Teleportation Array. No less than twenty Four-star Devils had fallen by the Star Demon's hand.
The outside world unanimously believed that the Star Demon possessed the strength of a Five-star Devil.
This was primarily because the Star Demon was only a God.
The Star Demon's lowest achievement was guaranteed to be that of a Six-star Devil.
Once the Star Demon made further progress and became a High-level God, he would be a super expert at the Seven-star Demon level.
Seven-star Devils were considered high-end combat power within great families, equivalent to elders.
Many people might not even meet such a significant figure in their entire lives.
And now, someone who could become a great figure was in Sanhe City. Those foreign devils would have to be brain-dead to look down on this place.
On the contrary, they were quite envious of Sanhe City.
Everyone had come from humble beginnings, and they all knew in their hearts that the bonds forged when one was weak were the ones that could withstand the test of time.
Being kind to you when you are weak, and showing favor when you are strong, are two entirely different sentiments.
"Oh? City Lord Laurent is looking for me?"
Roy's mind withdrew from the ocean of Profound Mysteries of Laws. With a flicker of thought, a faint, transparent ripple appeared around him, and he nodded in satisfaction.
After ten thousand years of seclusion, the fusion of the four Profound Mysteries of Laws was only a step away from completion. His strongest techniques had already reached the level of a Six-star Devil.
After tidying his appearance, Roy opened the palace doors.
"Lord Roy."
"Mm, since the City Lord has invited me, let's hurry over. We wouldn't want to keep the City Lord waiting."
"Understood, Lord Roy. This way, please."
The palace where Roy resided was located not far from the City Lord's mansion. Even walking, the two of them didn't take much time to reach the City Lord's mansion.
