Seeing that Lord Overlord and the Lord of Sunlight were still puzzled, the Lord of Stone City sighed and took the initiative to explain:
"You don't know this, but Sect Master White Light once fought him—and was defeated in a single move!"
"What? That's impossible!" Lord Overlord blurted out in shock.
He couldn't believe that someone as powerful as White Light could be taken down in just one move by this young man.
Even if this mysterious young man was strong, stronger than White Light, being able to defeat him in a single strike meant something much deeper:
It meant his power vastly surpassed that of the White Light Monarch!
If it were just a small gap in strength, such a feat wouldn't be possible. After all, White Light himself was a top-tier powerhouse, on par with the other major city lords.
If what the Lord of Stone said was true, then this young man was in an entirely different league.
And thinking back, their earlier disrespect toward Senju Yukika might have been extremely inappropriate.
However, the Lord of Sunlight remained silent. He didn't entirely believe what the Lord of Stone was saying.
After all, Yukika looked too young and didn't give off an overwhelming chakra presence.
In his eyes, no matter how strong Senju Yukika was, there was no way he could defeat the White Light Monarch with a single move!
But the Lord of Stone added, "He beat White Light in his strongest domain—taijutsu—and did it in a single strike."
This revelation left the two city lords utterly speechless!
Because White Light was best known for his agility and physical prowess, abilities that surpassed even the three of them.
Among all the elites in the Kingdom of Rakshasa, White Light's movement skills were famous for their unmatched speed and power.
And yet, Senju Yukika had outclassed him in that very domain? Unbelievable!
Up until now, they had assumed Yukika had used some strange kind of magic to win by surprise.
But now it was clear—he defeated White Light at his own game, in one move.
Lord Overlord murmured, "How is that possible? To think someone could have such an overwhelming physique...?"
The Lord of Stone gave a cold chuckle. "What do you mean 'how'? There are countless powerhouses on this planet. Have you all forgotten about the planet's royal bloodline?"
At the mention of the planetary royalty, the other two lords fell silent.
On this planet, there exists a ruling race known as the Ōtsutsuki Clan—an absolute monarchy.
The Ōtsutsuki are renowned for producing powerful individuals, many of whom possess terrifying abilities!
Their physical strength alone can split mountains and reroute rivers—monstrous power.
Now that the Lord of Stone had brought up the planetary royalty, the other two couldn't help but wonder—was Senju Yukika from the royal bloodline?
If that were true, then they should definitely not provoke him. He should be treated with respect.
The royal clan holds an invincible position in this world, unmatched and untouchable. No force dares to oppose them.
There was once an ancient, mighty nation that thought it could challenge the planetary monarchy.
But in a single night, the entire nation was wiped out. The royal family sent just a few ordinary elites, who infiltrated the palace and annihilated all top warriors.
By dawn, the nation ceased to exist. Every city was littered with corpses, rivers of blood flowing through the streets—a scene of utter devastation.
Since that day, no sect, no faction, has ever dared to challenge the planetary royal family.
Even though many years have passed, and the royal clan has become more low-key, no one has forgotten how they erased a kingdom overnight.
The Lord of Stone sighed. "This is why you must never provoke someone like him. In fact, this might be a great opportunity for us."
The other two lords understood his implication. As they prepared to head to Giant Peak Mountain in search of treasure, they knew that with so many powerful factions participating, they had little advantage.
But if they could leverage Yukika's strength to deter their rivals, it could open up a valuable opportunity.
Lord Overlord still had doubts. "But if Yukika is also interested in the treasure, how would we even get a share?"
This time, the Lord of Sunlight finally spoke. "If he's truly of royal blood, he might not even care for such earthly treasures. The royalty has access to treasures beyond imagination."
The Lord of Stone nodded. "Exactly. And even if he does want the treasure, we could still try to take advantage of the chaos. We have our own strengths too."
With their plan set, the three city lords departed.
Later that day, the group departed from Sunlight City, heading toward the Giant Peak Mountain Range. Senju Yukika led Tanaka Kuma and Shangguan ahead.
The Lord of Stone and his men followed in a massive flying vessel, soaring quickly toward the mountain range.
These flying vessels were rare and precious items on the planet, and each bore a unique emblem identifying the nation or dynasty that owned it.
Because of this, no one dared to steal them. Doing so would mean challenging an entire country.
Unless you were a member of the planetary royal family.
But with their unmatched power and pride, the royal clan wouldn't bother stealing a mere airship.
As the group arrived at Giant Peak Mountain, they were greeted by a colossal and majestic mountain shrouded in mist and evergreen trees.
When Senju Yukika landed, he was surprised to find that the chakra in the area felt denser than in the outside world.
As he spread out his spiritual senses, he quickly discovered several strange things.
It seemed the mountain range was riddled with various caves, hidden in valleys and along the slopes.
One cave in particular felt especially mysterious—no matter how hard he tried, his spiritual sense couldn't penetrate it...
