"Damn it!"
Su Ping's expression changed. He became gloomy and cold.
He had planned to save it for the finals; he didn't expect to have to use it in advance.
Boom!
The astral power inside Su Ping's body suddenly burst out from the mouth of the abyss. A horrifying power spread out in the void, as if a small star had exploded.
Su Jin 'er and the young man who had golden wheels in his eyes — who were running away — turned around in shock. They mistook the energy waves for a third lord-level void beast!
However, both of them widened their eyes when they saw that it was Su Ping who was at the center of the energy outburst.
Has he … made a breakthrough?
No, no, he's still in the Fate State.
But this energy … this was too terrifying!
The two of them shuddered as a feeling of absurdity arose in their hearts. Was this guy really at the same level as them?
Bang! Bang!
Bang! The astral power in Su Ping's cells was fully unleashed. The Astral Painting quickly revolved, forming an indestructible triangle with his chest as the center and his arms as the scythe. The energy transmission and damage were both maximized.
"Break!"
Su Ping suddenly waved his arms. His arms suddenly expanded and his muscles bulged like coiling dragons. His body became seven or eight meters tall and the white bones that covered his body grew as well. He looked like a ferocious giant.
The violent energy was unleashed with his arms; it felt as if the void was being torn apart. It was the first time that Su Ping had fully utilized the Solar Bulwark after reaching the third level!
A dazzling light burst out as he punched out with the Fist of Exorcist. A brilliant fist aura pushed through the void and penetrated the mouth of the abyss.
Light was suddenly emitted from the bottomless and immeasurable mouth, as if the first ray of light had been born in the darkness. It then became even more dazzling.
Roar!!
A painful roar came. The Black Shark's figure suddenly twisted and slammed in the void. It seemed to be in pain. Its body suddenly turned, and a whale-like giant tail slammed down, covering an area of more than a hundred meters.
Su Ping's eyes were filled with killing intent. He didn't intend to retreat now that he had been exposed; he might as well finish the mission.
Weng!
Hundreds of precepts gathered like beams of light shooting from the void. They gathered in his palm and condensed into a divine sword of precepts that shone with silver light. It contained thick Qi of the Way.
At the place where Su Ping's palm was holding, a burning flame spread out and covered the divine sword. This was the Golden Crow Divine Flame.
Chop!
Thousands of sword intents gathered in Su Ping's mind. The Formless Sword Principle that he had once created was also extended at this moment and transformed into the Divine Sword Principle. As his understanding of the rules deepened, he vaguely gained new insights.
This was the second style of the Divine Sword Path, Heavenly Punishment!
Rumble!!
There seemed to be billions of thunderbolts in the void, but these thunderbolts were all illusions. They were actually the thoughts of rules, and the dominant rule was the tribulation intent that Su Ping had comprehended from the heavenly tribulation!
Tens of thousands of Sword Qis shot out like thunderbolts, shaking the surrounding space and covering the huge black shark tail.
Following the densely packed bursts of energy, the energy accumulated in one place and exploded with a loud bang.
After a boom, the void trembled. Su Ping was pushed back by the shockwave; his hair was fluttering.
Far away — Su Jin 'er and the young man who had golden wheels in his eyes — who were still running, both stopped and looked at the scene in disbelief.
Such magnificent energy and such a sharp sword technique were beyond their understanding of the Fate State!
"This guy …"
Su Jin 'er came back to her senses in a daze. She looked at the back of the man whose black hair was fluttering in the wind. For a moment, she felt that she was witnessing the rise of a peerless genius who would illuminate the universe.
Roar!
A blood-curdling screech resounded. The black shark roared even more ferociously. It rushed out from the exploding energy. Its fins became sharp, and strange mouths grew on them. They kept closing and swallowing the exploding energy.
Then, it swam and flashed behind Su Ping; a black lightning bolt was shot out from the fins on its back, illuminating the void.
Su Ping's eyes were filled with killing intent. The killing power of the three gods in his chest and arms flowed to his palms, forming a solid killing force with his palms, fingers and sword as a triangle. He raised his sword again; this time, the energy in his body was condensed like boiling water; all the laws were reduced to zero.
"Path Light!"
Su Ping suddenly slashed; it was the third move of the Path of the Divine Sword.
The sword aura was like light, capable of destroying everything. It was a pure sword of destruction!
A ray of sword aura was magnificent when the sword was drawn, but it was small and insignificant when it left the sword, like a speck of dust. It darted out and fell into the black shark's mouth.
The black shark suddenly flashed, as if it were about to retreat; it felt horrified.
But in the next moment, a dazzling light burst out from its head, followed by its jaw, cheeks, and other parts. Cracking sounds kept ringing out, and with a bang, its huge head suddenly exploded, splattering blood and flesh everywhere.
Su Ping took a deep breath and waved his sword again. Heavenly Punishment arrived; countless rays of sword aura pierced through the shark's body, tearing apart its flesh and bones and mincing its internal organs.
The black shark's roar was long gone after the sword aura ended. Its enormous body slowly floated and fell from the void like a whale.
His pitch-black, iron-like body was now in tatters, and his spine was exposed in many places.
"It's dead?"
Su Jin 'er and the young man with golden wheels in his eyes were dumbfounded.
Su Ping killed a black shark lord?
How did he manage to kill them all by himself?!
Although it didn't have the power of faith, it was still a Star Lord!
Looking at the seven to eight meter tall skeletal figure standing in the void, the two of them felt a sense of terror. They felt that the other party was a Martial God!
Phew!
Su Ping was also breathing heavily. He quickly sensed the surroundings after the Black Shark was killed and made sure that no other creatures were nearby. Then, he closed his pores and stabilized his rapidly rotating cells. His body shrank and all his energy returned. His body, which had been brimming with energy, felt empty and weak at the moment.
Su Ping had almost done his best in the battle.
The third level of the Solar Bulwark has indeed multiplied the energy and toughness of my body, Su Ping thought.
He stopped examining his body; he looked at the black shark that was slowly falling. He then flew over and cut out a broken heart from its body, storing it in his storage space.
His hunting mission was finally over.
All he had to do was wait for the trial to be over.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Su Jin 'er and the young man with golden wheels in his eyes arrived at that moment.
Envy flashed in their eyes when they saw Su Ping put away the Black Shark's heart; they knew that Su Ping was qualified to advance to the next round. However, the previous battle had ended quickly, but the brief but glorious process was still unforgettable.
He had finished off a black shark lord with only a few attacks when he was only in the Fate State. That was the strength that Su Ping had been hiding!
This guy is truly a monster. Ascendant State talent? He'll definitely become a Heavenly Lord if he reaches the Ascendant State in the future! the young man thought.
Su Jin 'er was also shocked and ashamed. She was a reincarnation, and had the guidance of her original self, yet she wasn't as good as a primitive person. She was even embarrassed to let Su Ping know her real identity.
Her original self had reached the Ascendant State, which meant that she was a genius herself.
"Are you alright?"
Seeing that Su Ping was gasping for breath, Su Jin 'er guessed that Su Ping must have used some sort of secret technique.
Unfortunately, she didn't have such a secret technique. Even though she had secret techniques that could increase her strength by several times, they couldn't compare to Su Ping's.
The gap between them and the black shark wasn't several times, but ten times!
"Good." Su Ping took a deep breath. He felt lucky that he didn't see anything during the previous battle. If he had been in a trance, the Little Skeleton would have been able to hold on for a while, but he would have been injured and the situation would have been even worse.
"There's another one." The young man with golden wheels in his eyes looked at the body of the Purple Wind Lord.
Its heart was still intact even though its neck had been bitten off; it was a free slot.
However, he didn't act recklessly. After all, the heart should belong to Su Ping, since it had killed the black shark.
"Give it to me. You can tell me what you want. I should be able to satisfy you," said Su Jin 'er straightforwardly. She gazed at Su Ping and bit her lips.
Su Ping glanced at the two of them and didn't mention the fact that they had run away even faster.
It was pointless to mention it at that moment; they could also say that they didn't expect him to be the slowest.
Besides, hunting depended on one's own abilities; they had to admit that they weren't as good as the others.
"Brother Su, me too. My master is the Lord of the Harus Galaxy; he has a lot of Ascendant State friends. The Harus Galaxy is rich in Blood Tree Crystals, and we also control three Class A mysterious realms. My master can help me get what I want as long as I ask. What's mine is yours!" said the young man with golden wheels in his eyes.
They wouldn't have a chance to compete if they didn't state their conditions.
Su Ping looked at them and didn't say anything. He simply flew over and dug out the Purple Wind Lord's heart.
He then returned and said, "We can't stay here for long. Let's go back first."
The two of them looked at each other and saw the hostility in each other's eyes. They could only agree for now.
Soon after, the three of them returned with Su Ping.
They didn't take any detours on their way back with the help of the void map; it didn't take them long to reach the island.
Once he was inside the shield, the pressure in the void was gone. He could no longer see the whispers and the images that flashed in front of his eyes, which made him feel much more relaxed.
"There are only a few days left. I'm exhausted from the previous battle. I want to take a rest."
Su Ping returned to his residence and said to the two of them, "I hope you can keep what happened a secret for me, at least until the end of the competition."
The young man with golden wheels in his eyes said at once, "Of course. Brother Su, don't worry. If there's any news outside, just come and find me. By the way, Brother Su, you must have consumed a lot of astral power. I have the Star Blue Fruit and the Blood Crystal Tree Core. The Blood Crystal Tree Core can heal most injuries and also increase Qi and blood to strengthen the body."
He took out several boxes as he spoke. There were almost ten Star Blue Fruits that could be used to recover astral power.
The Blood Crystal Tree Core was the highest level of Nine Trace Blood Crystal Core. If ordinary people used it, they would explode and die. But for cultivators, it could strengthen their bodies. If ordinary people lost a limb, they could soak it in water for an hour and drink water to heal it. It was one of the most precious treasures in the universe. It was also one of the most coveted specialties in the Harus Galaxy.
"You're such a lackey!"
Su Jin 'er was infuriated to see the young man who had golden wheels in his eyes working so hard. She wasn't as good as him when it came to lackeys; after all, she hadn't fawned on anyone for years.
"I have some, too."
Although she was slower to react, she followed his example and took out many of her own treasures.
They were as effective as the young man's.
The young man's expression changed when he saw that; he glanced at Su Jin 'er.
Su Ping sensed their competition. The anger in his heart dissipated, and he found it funny. He accepted their gifts without hesitation and said with a smile, "Since you two are so kind, I won't stand on ceremony. As for the Purple Wind's heart, well, I do need something."
He waved his hand and projected the materials he needed for the fourth level of the Solar Bulwark with astral power.
He also sketched their appearances.
He had asked Huan Lieshen to look for some of the materials, but he hadn't found all of them. If the two of them could provide him with some, he could ask his new master about the rest.
He should be able to make up for the missing materials.
"These things …"
The two of them were stunned for a moment, but they quickly memorized them. Su Jin 'er pondered and said, "Some of them seem to be extinct."
"You know what they are?" Su Ping's eyes glittered.
Su Jin 'er nodded but didn't elaborate. Her original self had heard about them many years ago.
The young man was confused; he was slightly disappointed after hearing Su Jin 'er's words. He quickly said, "I'll ask my master and see if he has any."
"Okay," Su Ping agreed with a smile.
Su Ping took out their items and began cultivating after they left.
The Star Blue Fruit was a fruit that could replenish astral power, but it was obviously not as effective as the Astral Source Fruit Su Ping had taken earlier.
Su Ping only managed to replenish his astral power after taking three in a row.
He remembered the small world he hadn't condensed yet, so he continued eating and cultivating at the same time.
He had to admit that those geniuses had a lot of wealth; any of their items would be worth a fortune in the outside world.
Su Ping ate some of the Blood Crystal Tree's cores while he condensed the small world. He wasn't injured earlier, so the fruits were purely for strengthening his body.
Su Ping felt that his body was indeed a lot stronger after eating all the fruits. He had never taken any of them before, but they were quite effective. The young man with golden wheels in his eyes, on the other hand, was probably already full.
My body was already invincible in the Star State before, but it's already at the limit right now. Regular Star Lords can't hurt me without the power of faith.
Su Ping thought.
