Chapter 1058: Path of Oblivion
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ji Xueqing began to show Su Ping her laws.
At first, she showed the laws of space and time—
She had grasped both space and time flawlessly.
Later she gradually showed him the way she had grasped the laws, from lower to higher levels.
The two of them sat in front of each other. Illusions of laws appeared above their heads in an unpredictable fashion, just like mirages.
Su Ping concentrated his attention and fully devoted himself to watching and learning.
He was experiencing the processes which led Ji Xueqing to find enlightenment in relation to her attained laws.
Over and over.
She showed him the laws of space and time several times, until he couldn’t glean anything more. Then, they turned to other laws.
Once all the laws were shown, Ji Xueqing demonstrated the path that she had established to Su Ping.
“The path I created is called the Path of Oblivion!”
Ji Xueqing raised her hand, causing turbulence in time and space. An area filled with a strong destructive aura gradually appeared above Su Ping’s head. It was like a forbidden domain.
“I fused the features of both time and space, and also applied features of destructive laws, such as darkness and annihilation; it can restrain and destroy anything!
“Anyone who steps into my domain will be doomed!”
Ji Xueqing spoke in a casual, yet intimidating manner. However, she was confident of making such a statement. Being a Heavenly Lord, she could kill other Ascendants like chickens!
‘Heavenly Lord’ was just a title, not a level.
In fact, they were essentially Ascendant State experts too. However, they were far stronger than the average Ascendant; that was why they were granted such a title!
The Path of Oblivion’s aura was manifested on Ji Xueqing’s fingertip. She said, “Summon your small world. You can experience it yourself.”
Su Ping glanced at the silver, dark vibe, which felt extremely dangerous.
He did as recommended; he did want to experience it in person, so that he would remember it at a deeper level.
Ji Xueqing curled her lips as Su Ping’s small world appeared; the silver-dark aura darted out from her fingertip, stabbing Su Ping’s small world like a sharp needle.
“Try to defend yourself,” said Ji Xueqing with a smile.
Su Ping nodded, and then immediately summoned his small world. He concentrated all the small world’s faith power on the part being attacked.
“God’s Arrival!”
He compressed the power of faith into a shell inside the small world through the secret technique, created where the needle was going to stab.
Su Ping detected a frightening aura.
It was a poignant power, destructive and corrosive, which was attempting to break into his small world.
The laws on the inner wall of his small world began to collapse rapidly in front of that power. Only the four supreme laws were struggling to resist, but they were failing too!
“Path of Illusion!”
Su Ping didn’t make use of his second small world. He merely activated the law of illusion in the first small world, attempting to transmute the invading power into an illusion, to prevent it from causing any damage.
However, the path of illusion was unable to completely transform the invading power; it only slowed down the stabbing momentum.
I can’t resist any longer…
Come again!
Su Ping summoned his power of faith again; this time gathering it to make a hammer. He smashed forward from inside his small world, also gathering the strength of the small world, hoping to knock the needle away!
Bang!
A rumbling noise burst out of Su Ping’s small world.
The pointy needle made with the path of oblivion was indeed loosened by his attack. It only caused a hole in this small world, but it didn’t go through.
“You…”
Ji Xueqing’s mouth was slightly open. She watched as Su Ping tried his best to defend, and was suddenly lost for words.
Su Ping’s small world left her in shock.
Her attack was supposed to easily penetrate Su Ping’s small world. He shouldn’t have been able to put up any resistance.
However, his small world was sturdier than she thought.
She expected the small world to be hard, as it had reached the peak to begin with, and was strengthened by the Blood Source Crystals. Much to her surprise, Su Ping gathered the power of faith and formed a strong shell that blocked her attack.
Then, the power of a strange law came forth and affected her laws. She almost suspected that her eyes were deceiving her.
She was sure that the weird law used by Su Ping didn’t belong to any of the paths or laws she knew. It was like an unknown path; it could even be one he created on his own!
But…
Was it really possible for someone in the Star State to create a law?
Ji Xueqing’s shock increased. She suddenly felt that she couldn’t see through this junior brother of hers, who hadn’t cultivated much yet, while she had lived countless years as a Heavenly Lord.
Bang!
The shell made with faith power in Su Ping’s small world finally gave in and broke. He condensed it again; however, it soon shattered once more after blocking the attack for a moment.
Ji Xueqing’s needle was finally able to penetrate smoothly through Su Ping’s small world. Su Ping instantly detected all kinds of laws and traits in the broken small world. Said traits had been combined with the path of oblivion.
To be honest, it consisted of two features.
All the laws and paths in his small world were banned; everything—including matter and energy—was destroyed. All of it was sent into oblivion!
What a powerful and dominating path!
Is this how strong Heavenly Lords are?
Su Ping’s face was slightly pale, but his eyes glittered brilliantly.
Everything led to the same result.
Ji Xueqing, however, didn’t look very happy.
It was supposed to be an easy stab. How could you block it three times?
It was truly insulting for her, a Heavenly Lord!
Ji Xueqing was quite sullen; she even felt the urge to kill him. “Did you feel it?” She asked, once she expressionlessly dismissed the aura on her fingertip.
“Yes, I did!”
Su Ping took a deep breath and replied solemnly, “You are really strong, senior sister!”
Ji Xueqing wasn’t at all happy about his compliment, even after looking him in the eye and knowing that he wasn’t being sarcastic. She snorted and said, “That was nothing. I’m only Master’s fifth strongest disciple; the people above me are the real monsters. Our first and second senior brothers in particular… They are so strong that even Celestials would have a hard time trying to kill them!”
“Are they really that strong?” Su Ping was rather surprised.
Two of the top Heavenly Lords that Celestials couldn’t easily kill were his senior brothers!
“Our first senior brother is not very gifted, but he has learned after our master for the longest time,” Ji Xueqing glanced at Su Ping and said, “He has grasped the four supreme laws and the other laws to a flawless degree. It’s said that he once saw the river of laws in the Path Source world, and was able to pick up a great power there.”
“Remarkable.” Su Ping couldn’t help but feel impressed.
The four supreme laws had been grasped flawlessly. How difficult must it have been?
It was worthy of note that some Ascendants hadn’t grasped all the four supreme laws yet!
Of course, those were among the mediocre cultivators.
Some of the stronger Ascendants had learned the four supreme laws, but they couldn’t grasp them flawlessly!
The usual outcome would be for them to only grasp the path they created, or some lesser paths to a flawless level.
To achieve a flawless comprehension of supreme laws was as difficult as to understand the law of time while having a Star State cultivation.
“There are a couple of other senior brothers who are also Heavenly Lords now. They’re not as strong as our first senior brother, but they’re extremely gifted. Master thinks highly of them too; given enough time, they’ll grow and become top Heavenly Lords too.”
Ji Xueqing glanced at Su Ping and said, “I sensed that you performed a special law that managed to affect my law. It was something I had never felt before. Did you create it by yourself?”
Su Ping quickly shook his head. “I certainly didn’t. I would have reached the Ascendant State if I were able to do that.”
“That’s true.” Ji Xueqing glanced at Su Ping, not thinking he had created that path, either. It would be too shocking to see anyone establish a path while in the Star State. She hadn’t heard of anyone who could do that.
However, it was obvious to her that Su Ping’s secret was involved.
The crazy absorption of the Blood Source Crystals earlier seemed to be also related to that special law.
Her intention was not to dig further. She said, “I’ll show my laws again. See how much you can learn. You should focus on the processes in which I grasped my laws; they may be helpful to you. Don’t think about anything else. Also, don’t get too obsessed with my laws, that would only prevent you from walking a path of your own.”
“Sure.”
Su Ping nodded.
Ji Xueqing immediately demonstrated for Su Ping again.
Time flew.
Su Ping discussed and debated with his senior sister inside her small world.
Although Su Ping’s laws and paths didn’t improve, he had a much deeper understanding about ways to grasp laws. The harvest was big.
After the demonstration was over, Su Ping rose and thanked Ji Xueqing solemnly, “Thank you very much, senior sister.”
Ji Xueqing replied casually, “That’s all right. Are you ready for your breakthrough to the Star Lord State now?”
“Not yet.”
Su Ping said, “Didn’t you say you would teach me two unusual techniques? Let’s practice them first. On the other hand, about my planets…”
“I’ve already sent my pets to run the required errands.” Ji Xueqing was being forced to speechlessness. “You’re still hoping to grasp more laws? Never mind. I’ll just teach you the techniques.. I just think you can’t get the hang of the two techniques in three months.”
