"This..."
Shelley's expression was grim.
Roy's intelligence was clearly higher than she had anticipated.
Now, Shelley could only hope this wasn't one of the family's strongholds. If Roy discovered anything, the Four Divine Beast Family would have to reluctantly lose an elder who was a Seven-star Demon.
Why were people from these great families so much stronger and faster at cultivation than ordinary rogue cultivators?
Aside from talent and systematic guidance within the clan, resources like Soul Gold Beads, which could strengthen one's soul, were also indispensable.
Perhaps due to limitations in comprehension and spiritual aptitude, they would hit lifelong bottlenecks when cultivating to the High-level God or Four-star/Five-star Devil stages. However, with the aid of various resources, they could reach realms that others took tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years to achieve, in merely a few thousand or tens of thousands of years.
Without a doubt, Shelley knew the family would never give up these things.
"Alright, Shelley."
Seeing Shelley's displeased expression, Roy waved his hand.
"Don't dwell on this too much."
"As long as we grow stronger step by step, such matters will become more distant from us."
"I am the best example."
"Every day, billions of people die in this world for various reasons. We can't manage much. It's their luck if they encounter such things, and their misfortune if they don't."
"Yes, I understand, Elder Roy."
Hearing Roy's words, Shelley breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed Elder Roy wasn't someone who got too hung up on things.
Back in his bedroom within the Metal Life, Roy looked out the window at the rapidly passing scenery and sighed softly.
This was a world where power resided within oneself.
The strong preyed on the weak, and only the fittest survived.
Fortunately, he was no longer an ant.
Cultivate!
Cultivate!
Closing his eyes, fluctuations resembling the laws of heaven and earth emanated from Roy's body.
However, this fluctuation soon submerged into Roy's soul, tempering it and enhancing its strength and quality.
Occasionally, when Roy felt tired, he would meditate on and integrate laws, or develop his own techniques.
Centuries passed in the blink of an eye.
"Boom!"
One day, Roy was awakened by a tremor. He swept his divine sense and discovered four or five individuals attacking the Metal Life around it.
"Bandits?"
"Damn it!"
On the Metal Life, Shelley gritted her teeth, channeling divine power rapidly into it to maintain its shield.
She had been negligent.
Having not encountered any attacks for several hundred years, Shelley had only maintained enough divine power to fly at a sufficient speed to conserve energy. She hadn't activated the Metal Life's full divine defense.
She hadn't expected to be attacked by bandits here.
Moreover, the strength of each of these individuals was not inferior to her divine clone.
At least, before they attacked, her divine sense hadn't detected their presence.
Would Elder Roy be a match for these people?
A wisp of yellow sand appeared behind Shelley. The next moment, this yellow sand condensed into Roy's form.
"These people are bandits?"
"Lord Roy."
Seeing Roy, Shelley breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, Lord Roy. We are less than thirty years away from Emperor Wing City, so there are many powerful individuals who specifically prey on lone travelers or Metal Lives to obtain wealth..."
"Emperor Wing City?"
The name sounded familiar to Roy.
If he remembered correctly, this city was a Great City, and its City Lord, Emperor Wing Devil, was a very powerful Seven-star Demon.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Seeing Roy appear, the five robbers outside intensified their attacks.
Powerful blows struck the Metal Life's divine shield, causing cracks to appear.
The divine power shield might shatter with a few more hits.
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, something seemed to brew within Roy's pupils as he looked up at the five individuals attacking the Metal Life.
"Not good!"
In an instant, these robbers felt an immense sense of crisis.
They'd picked the wrong fight!
Unfortunately, before they could escape, they felt the space around them begin to twist.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
In a mere instant, in Shelley's eyes, the five robbers, who were no weaker than its Fire Element Divine Clone, were spun and ground to dust by a powerful, twisting force. Only five differently colored Godheads remained floating in the air, which Roy reached out and collected into his spatial ring.
"This..."
"Gulp..."
"So, so strong!"
A flicker of horror crossed Shelley's eyes.
Ignoring Shelley, Roy was quite satisfied with the technique he had developed over the years.
"Twisted Demonic Eye!"
This was a technique Roy created, primarily using the soul attack "Life Force," and incorporating "Gravity Space," "Earth Element," and "Earth Travel Technique." It combined soul and physical attacks, making it impossible to guard against.
With the "Life Force" Profound Mysteries of Laws as the core and "Gravity Space" as a supplement, Roy used these two Profound Mysteries of Laws to create a chaotic, distorted space.
The "Earth Travel Technique" Profound Mysteries of Laws and the "Earth Element" Profound Mysteries of Laws allowed the Twisted Demonic Eye to lock onto targets through Roy's line of sight. This enabled the distorted space Roy created to descend directly upon the target. Roy guaranteed that anyone below a Seven-star Demon would die if he glared at them, and an entire group would perish if he glared at them.
Even Seven-star Demons would have a hard time escaping if hit by this technique, which fused four Profound Mysteries of Laws.

It's very late today. I'll make up the missing 400 characters tomorrow.
