"You know surprisingly little for a Supreme Ruler," Yuan sighed. "Why did we even bring you?"
"You’re more than welcome to send me back," Supreme Ruler Grant sneered.
"Too much work," said Supreme Ruler Dena, completely denying his wishes.
"So, where should we go now?" Yuan then asked her.
"I’ve visited the Supreme Ruler’s territory a few times, but I doubt that knowledge will be of much use now. The islands within Bone Atoll are constantly drifting with the natural currents, and only its residents understand their movements well enough to track them," she said.
"So we need to find some residents to ask them."
"I will lead the way."
Instead of using Void Manipulation, Supreme Ruler Dena just flew normally.
A few days later, they arrived at a certain island.
Although it was called an island, it was quite massive, nearly the size of a medium-sized city in the Nine Heavens that could easily fit millions of people. However, despite the spacious land, Yuan could only sense a few thousand presences from it.
"Let’s go."
"Wait!" Supreme Ruler Grant suddenly shouted.
"Are you seriously going to let the public see me in this state?! I am still the Supreme Ruler, you know!"
He gestured at his mangled body with his only remaining arm—his legs still severed, the other arm only halfway regenerated.
Yuan glanced at him and smirked, "Don’t worry, we have another Supreme Ruler here. You can just pretend to be our livestock or something."
"Me?! Livestock?!" He exclaimed with a bewildered expression, as if he couldn’t believe his ears.
Never had he been humiliated to such an extent.
But before he could express his displeasure, Yuan descended to the island with Supreme Ruler Dena and Lev following behind.
Supreme Ruler Grant had intended to stay behind, but a sharp, pointy sensation suddenly pressed against his back.
When he turned around, he was met with the sight of the Demon Annihilation Sword, her blade already raised in her grasp.
"What do you want?"
"If you don’t follow my master, I’ll devour you," she calmly replied, her indifferent tone sending chills down his back.
’To think I’d be treated like a slave and threatened like this!’ he gritted his teeth in frustration.
"Listen here, you little—"
He wanted to retaliate, but when he sensed the Demon Annihilation Sword’s Demon Sealing Aura slowly surging, he swallowed his words and reluctantly chased after Yuan’s group.
Meanwhile, Yuan landed upon the island and extended his divine sense, sweeping across the residents ahead.
Instead of ordinary buildings, every structure was constructed from bones, casting a grim and unsettling atmosphere over the entire place.
Moreover, unlike ordinary bones, these bones were naturally black, resembling charcoal.
Shortly after their arrival, several demons emerged from their bone-crafted dwellings, each gripping a spear fashioned from the same dark material.
Upon sensing the unfathomable energy exuding from her symbol, they quickly lowered their weapons and bowed to her.
The demons immediately fell silent as they became hesitant. Although they wanted to refuse, they didn’t dare to say no to a Supreme Ruler, fearing the consequences.
Noticing their reluctance, Yuan asked, "Where can we find a guide? If we’re going to look for one, we might as well find a proper one."
The demons quickly became at ease upon hearing his words, and one of them said, "There’s actually a well-known guide not too far from our atoll. I can bring you there if you’d like."
"Let’s do that."
Without any delay, the demon led Yuan and his group to another island nearly two weeks away.
Soon, they arrived at another atoll—this one far smaller, resembling a solitary island—with a single, lonely structure standing at its center.
Before Yuan’s group even touched the ground, a figure emerged from the building to meet them.
"If it isn’t my neighbor. Looking for a guide?" Asked the guide, a grey-colored male demon. "Where are ya trying to go?"
"I am not the one looking for you. They are." The demon who led Yuan’s group there said. "She’s the Supreme Ruler of the Crimson Continent, and they are trying to reach the Weeping Ossuary to meet with our Supreme Ruler."
"What?"
The guide looked at Supreme Ruler Dena with a suspicious gaze.
"Are you sure about that? From what I heard, their most recent Supreme Ruler is male," he remarked.
"What?! Are you saying that she’s an imposter?! But she has the Power of Authority, which can only be possessed by Supreme Rulers!"
Supreme Ruler Dena then spoke in a calm voice, "If you’re talking about that weakling Supreme Ruler Grant, then I killed him not long ago and took over his position."
