Sovereign's Might

After Laurent finished speaking, he handed Roy a Storage Ring.

"Roy, consider this an investment from me."

"As long as you don't let me down, what I, Laurent, can give you will far exceed your imagination."

After bidding farewell to City Lord Laurent, Roy returned to his palace.

When Roy dripped blood onto the ring to recognize its master and saw what was inside, his heart stopped beating for several minutes.

Ordinary people would probably not even recognize the items inside.

But among those who did, most would go mad over them, willing to wage wars of extermination without hesitation.

Even within great families, such an item could be called a "foundation."

It was an ochre droplet like a bead of water. Simply observing it with Spiritual Sense allowed one to feel the immense pressure contained within that ochre droplet.

Roy had no doubt that once the energy within this drop was fully released, the entirety of Sanhe City would likely be unable to escape disaster.

If Roy had not possessed memories of this world from his previous life, he probably would not have known what it was.

Sovereign's Might—and Earth-element Sovereign's Might at that!

Once used, it could increase one's strength a hundredfold before the Sovereign's Might completely dissipated.

In other words, a Five-star Devil who used Sovereign's Might could rival a Seven-star Demon for a short time.

Taking a deep breath, Roy suppressed the urge to merge this drop of Sovereign's Might into himself and withdrew his Spiritual Sense from the Spatial Ring.

As expected.

First, there had been a scroll for contacting a Lord God. Now, there was Sovereign's Might.

If Laurent did not have an elder relative who was a Lord God's envoy, then he had to be a direct descendant of a Lord God Family.

After putting away the Spatial Ring, Roy began fusing his Law Profound Mysteries.

At present, Roy had completely comprehended four Law Profound Mysteries: Earth Element, Gravity Space, Earth Travel Technique, and Life Force.

His strongest move was still Chibaku Tensei, which completely fused Earth Element, Gravity Space, and Life Force. The power of this move had brought Roy's current strength fully up to the Five-star Devil level.

Below that were Almighty Push and Universal Attraction, which fused Earth Element, Gravity Space, and Earth Travel Technique. In the hands of Roy, a Mid-level God, they were also Five-star Devil-level moves.

Ever since Roy had fully comprehended Life Force, he had felt that his affinity with the Law Profound Mysteries had dropped significantly.

Life Force had already found points of compatibility with the other three Law Profound Mysteries, but fully fusing all Four Law Profound Mysteries was ten times more difficult than before.

Now that he had this drop of Sovereign's Might, Roy's sense of security immediately increased considerably.

Therefore, in his future cultivation, Roy planned to fuse the Four Law Profound Mysteries while also first integrating the beginner-level Profound Mysteries of Strength and Earth Pulse that he had comprehended with the other four Law Profound Mysteries.

Once he found the points of compatibility, he could continue deepening his comprehension of the Law Profound Mysteries. Fusing and comprehending them simultaneously was tens of thousands of times easier than fully comprehending the Law Profound Mysteries first and then attempting to fuse them.

By then, once Roy had fully become a High-level God in all his Law Profound Mysteries, he would at least possess a powerful move that fused six Law Profound Mysteries, reaching at least the level of Suspected Grand Perfection.

As for becoming a Grand Perfection at the same time as becoming a High-level God? Roy had never even considered it.

The more one cultivated, the more one understood just how despair-inducing it was to become a Grand Perfection.

And that was with Roy's advanced perspective and the foundation of two worlds. His perspective from his previous life provided him with directions for cultivation and bold ideas, while the strength of this life allowed him to realize those directions and ideas one by one.

The next ten thousand years were a period of rapid development for Sanhe City.

Of those more than nine thousand Saint Domains, over seven thousand advanced to Low-level Gods, one thousand refined godheads to become gods, and thirty-eight advanced to Mid-level Gods.

The rest all died in various accidents.

One day, a Low-level God knocked on the gates of Roy's palace.

"Lord Roy, the City Lord requests your presence."

This Low-level God bowed respectfully before Roy's palace gates. He was one of the Saint Domains Roy had brought back over ten thousand years ago.

As their strength and experience increased, their group became ever more aware of Roy's power.

After more than ten thousand years, Sanhe City's development had already gotten on track. The Demon Castle and auction house brought Sanhe City many devil missions every year.

Many from their group had also become demons of the Demon Castle, though most were one-star or two-star devils.

Demons above the three-star level were basically all outsiders.

These people naturally looked down on their newly established city and disdained them.

However, when they learned that the Strongest Mid-level God of Sanhe City, widely spoken of within the city, was the famous Star Demon, every one of them lost their arrogance.

The Star Demon was a powerhouse who had slaughtered his way back to Sanhe City from the Planar Teleportation Array. No fewer than twenty Four-star Devils had fallen at the hands of the Star Demon.

The outside world unanimously believed that the Star Demon possessed the strength of a Five-star Devil.

And that was only because the Star Demon was merely a Mid-level God.

The Star Demon's lowest possible achievement was guaranteed to be that of a Six-star Devil.

Once the Star Demon improved further and became a High-level God, he would be a Super Expert at the Seven-star Demon Level.

Even in great families, Seven-star Demons counted as high-end Combat Power, figures on the level of Elders.

Many people might not encounter even one such great figure in their entire lives.

And now, someone who might become such a great figure was right here in Sanhe City. Those outsider demons would have to be brain-dead to look down on this place.

On the contrary, they envied Sanhe City greatly.

Everyone had come from the Lower Class. They all understood that the bonds formed when one was weak could better withstand the test of time.

Being good to someone when you were weak and currying favor with them when you were strong were two different kinds of feelings.

"Oh? City Lord Laurent is looking for me?"

Roy's mind withdrew from the ocean of Law Profound Mysteries. With a thought, a circle of faint transparent ripples appeared around him, and he nodded to himself in satisfaction.

After ten thousand years of secluded cultivation, the fusion of the Four Law Profound Mysteries was only one step away from completion, while several of his strongest moves had already reached the Six-star Devil level.

After tidying his appearance, Roy opened the palace gates.

"Lord Roy."

"Mhm. Since the City Lord has invited me, let's head over quickly so we don't keep him waiting."

"Yes, Lord Roy. This way, please."

Roy's palace was located not far from the City Lord's Mansion. Even on foot, it did not take the two of them long to arrive at the City Lord's Mansion.
