Chapter 1115 Hunting
Boom!!
The sword aura raged for tens of thousands of meters, as if ready to cut the sky apart!
Lin Xiu’s body took the hit first. His blood gushed out; the arm holding the saber cracked. His flesh and blood was gone, leaving only the bones intact. The power of the sword aura was unbearable for him!
“No way…” Lin Xiu screamed in shock and fury.
However, Su Ping’s sword aura slashed nonstop.
The laws of destruction, fire, illusion and origin were concentrated on the sword.
Su Ping’s power was fully exerted. The Little Skeleton and the Inferno Dragon were constantly transmitting power into him; they shared their energy, and his body was filled with explosive power.
Their every action seemed to be rending the sky and the earth asunder. Bang! Bang! Bang! The previously unstoppable Lin Xiu now had to defend himself against Su Ping’s furious strikes.
The power of triple small worlds prevented Su Ping’s paths from being restrained by the saber. Adding the tripled perfect path of destruction, each of Su Ping’s strikes was as powerful as the attack of an ultimate treasure!
Su Ping launched an attack with each step!
The sixth attack was launched, and Lin Xiu couldn’t resist any longer; his remaining arm bones crumbled and his saber was knocked away.
Su Ping seized the opportunity to cut the hand holding the sword plate.
Lin Xiu realized what he was planning; his sword plate dashed forward and disappeared, while he relentlessly dashed towards Su Ping. His face showed brutality, with cheeks half burnt by the path of fire.
Qing Hongyue quickly roared, “Watch out!”
Su Ping had seen it coming; he knew it was just a clone made by an ultimate treasure.
He quickly performed the path of illusion after seeing the guy’s dying strike; it wreathed Lin Xiu with an unusual, unpredictable power. Lin Xiu was greatly weakened in an instant; that was one of the illusion path’s traits.
Bang!
Su Ping quickly stabbed forth with his sword; Lin Xiu seemed to be willingly going toward the edge of Su Ping’s sword. He was instantly cut apart, transforming into blood and dispersing energy.
Su Ping’s eyes glittered at the same time; there seemed to be flames in them, allowing him to see through space.
Someone in the crowd shouted to alert them, “Over there!”
Su Ping had also noticed something; it was in the exact direction the guy had pointed out.
Right when he was about to really go and chase it-Claudia said anxiously, “No, it’s in another direction. That’s just a phantom from another point in time he summoned. He’s not really there!”
Su Ping instantly looked at the place where Claudia was pointing at telepathically, but there was nothing visible. He didn’t hesitate, though; he had yet to grasp the perfect law of time like she did.
Bang!
Su Ping sliced the void with one strike; the law of destruction ravaged the whole vicinity. Following Claudia’s direction, Su Ping went to another point in time. Everybody around him was gone; only those who had mastered the perfect path of time, such as Claudia and Brian, could continue directing him telepathically.
Su Ping saw a streak of light soon after.
That was the place where the sword plate disappeared.
He wielded his sword and tore the void open; he then saw a young man staring at him gloomily from the void.
Su Ping instantly jumped to the guy’s time and space. While gazing at the sword plate in the other guy’s hand, he said indifferently, “You’re planning to make a run for it? The saints’ scheme will be exposed if you do.”
“No need to provoke me; it only shows that you’re incapable of holding me back.” Lin Xiu looked at him with a gloomy expression. If his clone hadn’t been obliterated, he wouldn’t have believed that he would be defeated by a Star State kid who had only cultivated for a hundred years at most, even though he had the sword plate and the ultimate treasures.
“Multiple small worlds…”
Lin Xiu stared at him coldly. “You must have been to many unknown places, right? I’ve read some records found in the remains of ancient gods. It was said that primordial experts were capable of cultivating as many as five small worlds!
“I always considered it a myth; I didn’t know that it was true.”
Su Ping said coldly, “There’s so much that you don’t know; you can cultivate as many as seven small worlds. I’m just a beginner.”
“Seven small worlds…”
There were ripples in Lin Xiu’s eyes. He had previously thought it was impossible; his attempt to cultivate double small worlds had failed. Back when he asked about it to Celestial experts, they thought it was barely possible too.
After all, none of the twelve Celestials of the universe cultivated a second small world when they were Star Lords.
When Lin Xiu saw Su Ping’s double small worlds, he speculated that the Celestials might know something but didn’t share the information. The Celestials had surely reached a tacit agreement; if such a super Star Lord appeared, they would eventually surpass all the Celestial experts someday.
He had to assume the worst of them. Not once had he believed that they played fair and square, as all the other people thought. He firmly believed that everybody was born evil!
Maybe the Celestials had saved countless people, but they might have plans of their own.
“Who taught you that?” asked Lin Xiu while staring at Su Ping. “Was it Shen Huang?”
“Dead men don’t get to ask questions.”
Coldness flashed in Su Ping’s eyes as he launched an abrupt attack. Lin Xiu was just as cold. “Don’t presume that you can defeat me so easily. No one can force me to stay if I want to run!”
The sword plate in his hand glowed again; countless sword auras instantly darted towards Su Ping. Not only could the ultimate treasure disable other ultimate treasures, it was also an extremely lethal weapon.
It had been created by the saints, who wanted to make sure that nothing would go wrong after deciding to get involved in the competition. Even a normal Star Lord could also kill anyone on sight if they had it!
Not to mention that Lin Xiu was holding it.
However, it was beyond the saints’ expectation that a participant such as Su Ping would take part in the trial.
Bang!
Su Ping charged forward, ignoring all the sword auras.
His destructive law erased all the sword auras surrounding him. Each sword aura was as powerful as a perfect path, but all of them were destroyed by the triple path of destruction, and collapsed like felled trees.
One could see a slight change of expression in Lin Xiu’s face. He flipped his hands, and took out an ultimate treasure that looked like a horn.
He suddenly blew the horn.
Woo!
Just like an echoing whisper, Su Ping instantly felt a rush in his soul, as if someone were summoning from the depths of the universe.
He felt disoriented, but then he heard a dragon roar in his head. That was the Inferno Dragon’s summoning him.
Su Ping instantly woke upThere was a sword aura so close that he was almost dazzled by it.
But the next moment, his bone saber slashed forth and sliced the sword aura apart. The Little Skeleton had taken control of Su Ping’s body given the emergency. Su Ping coldly stared at Lin Xiu’s ultimate treasure.
The sword plate might have been a gift from Lin Xiu’s Celestial backer, but he must have looted the saber and the horn from the other star zones.
It was an ultimate treasure able to disturb the mind. Fortunately, Su Ping had great willpower; he was only lost for a moment, and was able to break free in time with the Inferno Dragon’s help.
If he were another Star Lord… He probably would have passed out, even forgottening who he was.
“Huh?”
Lin Xiu was shocked by Su Ping’s fast recovery.
Even though the latter’s triple small worlds were threatening, he had an ultimate treasure that could directly attack the mind. Any number of paths grasped would have been useless.
He’s only in the Star State… How is it possible? Does he have the willpower of an Ascendant State expert? Lin Xiu was shocked. Even he would only be able to struggle and resist the horn, which meant that Su Ping’s willpower was as great as his.
Still, he had already cultivated for 100,000 years!
“Damn it!”
A small world appeared behind Lin Xiu. He fully activated the sword plate.
Several sharp auras appeared amongst the sword auras; they were condensed by his paths. “I would have crushed all the Star Lords even without the ultimate treasures. I’ve mastered all the four supreme laws to perfection. I will reach the Celestial State even without the legacy!” declared Lin Xiu aggressively.
Su Ping minced hundreds of sword auras and declared outright, “You’re so proud, yet you’ve allowed yourself to be treated as a chess piece. You’re not confident in yourself at all!” A furious Lin Xiu replied, “What do you know? Aren’t you here for the legacy too? Who are you to talk about confidence with me? It’s the Celestial State, the supreme throne of the universe. Doesn’t every cultivator dream reach that state?”
There was mockery in Su Ping’s eyes. “The Celestial State is the supreme throne… What a great joke. Everybody was in the Celestial State in the primordial years!” “Stop wasting my time! “You said it, the primordial years! Do you think I don’t know that there are higher levels above the Celestial State? I’ve explored ruins of ancient deities. Celestials were just treated as kings. There were emperors above them who suppressed all the other species!”
Lin Xiu’s eyes were cold. “But that path of cultivation is already broken. The Celestial State is the ultimate level right now!” “If the path is broken, I’ll fix it. If it can’t be fixed, I will create a whole new path on my own!”
Su Ping’s eyes were cold. He gazed at the world with eyes as dazzling as the sun. “You’ll end up forever stuck if you reach the Celestial State with the legacy. You’re quite talented, but your eyesight needs to be broadened!”
He recognized Lin Xiu’s talent and felt sorry for him!
“Create a whole new path of your own…”
Lin Xiu’s pupils contracted. What Su Ping said made him extremely uncomfortable.
He had once been a hopeful and ambitious man, just like that!
But a long time passed and he simply lost his ambition, never realizing his goals.
Perhaps the horror of a long life was that it would transform someone into a completely new person, without them even realizing.
“Despite all your talk, you’re just here to fight for the legacy too. What a sharp tongue!” Lin Xiu narrowed his eyes for a moment. But he quickly refocused and stopped thinking along those lines.
“I’m fighting for the legacy for the sake of my pet and partner, not for myself.” Su Ping sneered. “I’m not the least bit interested in the mere legacy of a Celestial State man. That’s why I’m different from you!” “You…”
Lin Xiu was shocked. How dare he say that? Is he not afraid he’ll be struck by lightning for lying? He’s fighting for the legacy, just for an animal?
