After several explosions, the sharp sonic blades in Su Ping’s head were shattered. He stared at the imprisoned red souls with eyes burning like candles.
“Little Skeleton!”
Su Ping summoned the Little Skeleton and asked it to take care of them.
The Little Skeleton had slain and devoured countless ghosts in the cultivation sites; it had developed a special aura that ghosts found intimidating.
After the Little Skeleton stepped out, the red souls quickly flinched and marched to the others.
“Huh?”
The purple-robed young man sensed the fear of the red souls and raised his eyebrows, before he looked at Su Ping.
He was slightly surprised when he detected that Su Ping was only at the Void State, but he recovered quickly. He was never good at detection, and it wasn’t unusual for those in the Star State to conceal their real strength.
After all, he was one major level underneath them. It would’ve been horrifying if he dwarfed those in the advanced phase of the Star State in every aspect!
“Destroy!”
The purple-robed young man unleashed his chains towards Su Ping and Father Time with a thought.
Father Time changed his expression and raised an indestructible wall in front of him. Not even the explosion of a planet would have shaken it.
However, the wall trembled when the chains darted close.
Cracks spread out on the wall. The horrifying tearing force on the chains quickly destroyed the laws that the wall contained. Adding the law of destruction that the chains contained, the wall gradually decayed, producing a gray mist.
The wall was completely unable to resist it any longer, falling apart into pieces.
Father Time roared and green light surfaced on his body. It was his healing constitution, related to the elemental class!
Pairing his constitution and the law of solidity under his possession, his defense was among the best; few people in his level were able to defeat him.
Some of the pets behind his back were good at applying enhancement skills. They would cast buffs on him, making him emit green light and turning him into a strong beastly man.
His dry body was replenished when the healing constitution was activated, and a tremendous amount of energy was spread out of his cells. He waved his hands and blocked the piercing chains by raising more walls.
“Great defenses!”
“Tsk, tsk. I don’t think many Star State warriors can defeat him quickly, right?”
“He will probably become a super turtle shell when he becomes a Star Lord. He’s so sturdy!”
“Unfortunately, he has to count on his team. He can’t acquire treasures in adventures with sturdiness alone. Even if the beasts guarding the treasures can’t beat him, he can’t beat them either. He needs teammates.”
All the onlookers outside the battlefield were amazed by Father Time.
He deserved to be one of the men who had endured such a long time. His constitution matched his laws perfectly. If he ever met anyone whose level was higher than his own, he could probably just stand there and allow the attacks to land!
“God of Lightning’s Law: Vitality. Heal!”
Su Ping was amazed by Father Time’s sturdiness too. He wouldn’t be forced to attack, and would have the chance to preserve his strength.
He made use of the God of Lightning’s law again, which was both destructive and healing. Su Ping asked the Little Skeleton to absorb the undead aura in the void and transform it into vitality that was later directed into Father Time’s body, further boosting his constitution.
“This feels good!” Father Time laughed with joy, sensing Su Ping’s reinforcement.
Far away, the purple-robed young man grew cold. Next to him, a roar suddenly burst out, and an enemy suddenly emerged from his shadow, cutting his neck.
A weird claw appeared on the purple-robed young man’s back and caught the weapon.
While holding the weapon, the monster’s upper half body rose from the purple-robed young man’s back. It was a monster with the torso of a woman and a snake’s lower half of its body.
Its face was utterly hideous, and it slightly opened its fang-filled mouth. Its eyes were dark gold and full of thirst for blood.
“A parasite beast!”
“That’s—That’s an A’ye Demonic Snake!”
“An A’ye Demonic Snake with a Star Lord bloodline? Oh my god, it’s one of the best parasite beasts!”
“It’s said that the A’ye Demonic Snakes serve the Asura Kings in hell, feeding on ghosts and blood and residing in undead creatures and skeletons. They’re as expensive as some of the small galaxies!”
Everybody outside the battlefield was shocked.
Parasite beasts were pets with the unique ability of residing inside the battle pet warriors. They could enable a dual fusion for the battle pet warriors.
Those pets were quite rare. Although unremarkable if their levels were too low, they would fetch the highest prices of the pets in their level if they were in the Star State. Not even the popular dragon pets could compare with them!
“Well…”
The leader of the Ouhuang Alliance and the other Star Lords had twitching cheeks after seeing that; even they felt jealous of a parasite beast with such a bloodline.
The leader girl frowned even more solemnly.
No wonder he was able to unleash such a horrifying energy, having that pet reside in his body. All the laws and techniques he performed depended on energy; the energy from his divine constitution and the fusion wasn’t enough to power them, but everything was explainable since the A’ye Demonic Snake had shown up.
Bang!
In the small world—the A’ye Demonic Snake suddenly craned its head and broke the weapon that attacked him. Then, its other claw snatched and pierced the undead pet that had just ambushed him.
Blood splashed out, and the undead pet turned into a mist while trying to flee, but it seemed to be stuck to something and could only struggle hard.
“Humph!”
The purple-robed young man’s face was cold. Sensing his will, the A’ye Demonic Snake on his back instantly opened its mouth and bit the undead pet with dazzling light emanating from its eyes, ready to swallow the pet whole!
Seeing that, an old man cursed gloomily and angrily, “Damn it, release my pet!”
The purple-robed young man raised his brows and sneered. “You should be prepared to die if you choose to fight me. Or, you can get lost right now!”
“You!”
The old man looked awful and could only grit his teeth; he wanted to surrender, but would not dare to violate his leader’s order.
Outside the small world, a Star Lord heaved a sigh after seeing that. “Never mind. Just give up.”
He knew it would be virtually impossible to get the Tree of Laws while the purple-robed young man was there. Even if the old man continued to fight, he could hardly stand to the end without allies and his pets.
Hearing that, the old man was relieved. He quickly said, “Let go of my pet. I give up!”
“Hehe.” The purple-robed young man chuckled but simply ignored him.
The old man changed his expression and demanded furiously, “What are you doing?”
He hurriedly summoned his battle pet, but the contract bond was blocked by a weird law, not allowing him to retrieve his struggling pet from the snake’s month.
“My young friend, you’re being outrageous!”
The Star Lord outside of the small world was gloomy. You’re only a Fate State junior. Don’t push it too far!
I would have smashed you to death had it not been for the Ascendant State expert behind you!
After a hum, the snake’s mouth became empty, and the pet in it was taken out.
However, the pet had quite the scary look at that moment.
It was already half rotten and dying. It was clearly affected by a lethal poison and would die if it wasn’t treated soon.
The Star Lord had a contorted face. He released an ivory-colored energy that covered the pet. The wounds it had were gradually healed, while the poison was temporarily suppressed.
Whoosh!
The old man left the small world and looked at his pet. There was hate in his eyes, but he quickly hid it.
That young man was a genius; it was foolish to show the desire for revenge when he was incapable of putting it into practice.
“Thank you very much, leader,” the old man thanked his leader sincerely.
“The venom has been suppressed for now. You can treat it somewhere else later.” The Star Lord waved his hand.
“Humph!”
Inside the small world—the purple-robed young man narrowed his eyes angrily when the Star Lord intervened, but he soon masked his feelings; it had already been his best to defeat advanced Star State experts. It was impossible for him to fight the Star Lords.
After all, there was a gap of two major levels between the Fate State and the Star Lord State!
He had been cultivating passively when he was still in his mother’s womb.
She took a lot of nurturing herbs when her mother was pregnant, and some experts polished the fetus’ veins and body with energy back then.
After he was born, he was ahead of his peers all the time, and he had infinite training resources. He was the best in every aspect.
That was the reason why he could beat those in the advanced phase of the Star State when he was only a Fate State warrior. He was one of the strongest in his generation in the entire Federation.
Only the Universe Geniuses’ Contest would give him a chance to reveal his extraordinary power to the world.
“You’ll be mere ants after I break through to the Star State!” The purple-robed young man coldly withdrew his gaze from the outside world.
His pride made him crave strength even more; he wanted to do even more extraordinary things.
“Let me show you a real technique!”
The purple-robed young man fixed his eyes on the people in front of him. A dense red mist appeared around him; it was an ancient technique he had practiced, one designed to deal with Star Lords!
All his cells rejoiced when the bloody mist was spread, and his strength multiplied.
“This… This is the Bloody Demon Immortality Technique!
“It’s said that the technique dates back to the age of deities and demons. It is weird and horrifying!
“It is said that immortality can be achieved if you fully grasp the technique. That’s something that only an Ascendant State expert can do!”
“This is unbelievable. What’s his background?”
The people outside the small world were astonished. Even Star Lords were shocked.
That Fate State guy had even more treasures than they did.
They didn’t have such a high-ranking technique.
Techniques were the core when it came to battle pet warriors. They could decide the speed of astral power absorption, the efficiency of astral power transformation, elease speed, etc. Some of them had special applications, such as absorbing astral power from plants or blood.
There were also techniques that could significantly enhance a person with an array of pets.
That was why the top techniques were extremely rare; they were even more expensive than the top pets themselves!
“Demonic blood that destroys the world, obey me!”
The purple-robed young man rose to the sky in the small world and looked down at both the participants and the shattered land. He raised his hand, condensing a ball of surging blood in his palm.
The demonic blood seemed to be alive, quickly spreading its chains.
The chains instantly clinked in delight and became red.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
The next moment, the chains were darting at everybody like snakes and spears.
Three of them were aimed at Father Time, but they were blocked by his protective wall.
However, the wall soon exploded
Moments after, a second wall continued resisting the chains.
Su Ping was quite serious too. He had never seen anyone that strong in the Fate State.
If the guy were a pet, he would have definitely had high-level aptitudes, considering his actual performance.
The purple-robed young man selected and attacked a lot of targets; many pets were pierced by the chains, ending up heavily wounded.
The battle pet warriors weren’t any better. Some dodged, some counterattacked, and some simply hid themselves with special techniques.
However, they were soon forced to get out of their shelters, as the chains seemed smart enough to detect the places where they were hiding.
“You’re just a Fate State warrior. Don’t get too cocky!”
“Die!”
Someone roared and released a shocking aura, which caused a streak of sparks on the chains before it moved towards the purple-robed young man.
The A’ye Demonic Snake on the purple-robed young man’s back rose and blocked the aura, but it was quickly pressed back.
The other battle pet warriors also shouted and attacked. They were in the advanced phase of the Star State anyway, and they performed their ultimate techniques. The purple-robed young man managed to block some of the attacks with his chains, and the A’ye Demonic Snake helped block some, too; however, the snake was better at offense than defense.
The purple-robed young man seemed to be losing after consecutive attacks and was heavily wounded.
Roar!
The purple-robed young man bellowed furiously. His divine constitution became even more brilliant. He charged at the battle pet warriors with a bloody mist surrounding his body,
choosing to fight melee battles with the help of the chains.
Surprisingly enough, the latter was quite good at melee skills. His moves were brutal and unpredictable. It didn’t take long for a pair of battle pet warriors to be knocked down from the sky.
A battle pet warrior—seeing that Father Time and Su Ping weren’t hurt—could not help but shout in shock and fury, “Why aren’t you attacking?”
Father Time cried, “We’re only capable of defending. How could we attack?”
“Block his attack for me then!”
“I don’t know you!”
“…”
What the heck!
The battle pet warrior was so furious he rolled his eyes. Profiting from that distraction, the purple-robed young man punched him in the face and smashed him to the ground.
“I’ll take care of you later.” The young man glanced at Father Time and Su Ping coldly.
After watching the fierce battles, Father Time realized that the vicious young man had obvious advantages, and the other champions’ failure was only a matter of time. He turned around and asked Su Ping, “Should we just surrender later?”
“Why should we?” Su Ping was stunned.
Father Time was almost speechless. “Why? Do we have a way to defeat him? There would have been a chance for us if Three Punches were still here… But only the two of us are left. I can only defend, and you can only heal and enhance. We’ll only be beaten for a longer time even if we stay. What’s the point?”
“I can also attack.”
Su Ping said, “I’ve only been preserving my strength.”
