Very soon, Elder Yan made the appointment for Su Ping.
A virtual challenge would cost a billion astral coins, half of which would be automatically transferred to the Star Lord's account.
It was a lot of money, but it was only pocket money for a Star Lord. After all, a Star Lord was in charge of a galaxy, and a prosperous planet had to pay trillions of taxes every year.
Led by Elder Yan, Su Ping reached a palace at the center of the city.
A lot of people were immersed in the virtual battle machines. Su Ping and Elder Yan went straight to the most honorable room in the palace, where a large machine was set up.
"Put on your helmet. Your opponent has been booked. It's Clowe, who ranks 100th on the Divine Lord Rank!"
Said Yan Lai.
Su Ping nodded. "Thank you."
He went to the machine and put on a helmet that looked like a motorcycle, except that there were all kinds of colorful light spots on the outside. He entered a very realistic virtual world the moment he put it on.
"Would you like to enter the Battlefield?"
"Yes."
"Your opponent has been booked. Would you like to fight your opponent?"
"Yes."
"Please wait a moment. Data is being imported …"
Purple and red rays of light suddenly emerged from the machine where Su Ping was standing, enveloping Su Ping and scanning him. On the other side, the machine was counting down thirty seconds.
After the countdown was over, a red light flashed on the ear of the helmet, and Su Ping received another notification. "Data has been imported. Please log in."
"Log in."
Su Ping simply clicked "Yes" on the interface that popped up before his eyes.
After the confirmation, a gate to a new world seemed to have been opened in front of his eyes. A vast landscape and attraction force sucked him in, and he landed in a desolate, vast, and boundless battlefield.
He seemed to be able to see forests, mountains, lakes, and other environments on the battlefield.
The air was filled with the smell of grass and trees, filled with all kinds of elements. This was the most common challenge scene, and also a comprehensive venue.
A notification indicated that the battlefield simulated the surface of the White Withered Planet.
The gravity was 9.8, and the astral power content was MP5. Both were relatively strong.
Su Ping sensed that the gravity there was twenty to twenty-five times higher than on Earth. An ordinary Star State warrior would have felt that their bodies were sticky, as if they were in an ocean.
However, Su Ping's body was much stronger than that of regular Star State warriors; he got used to it after some exercise. According to the data, there were seven layers of virtual deep spaces.
As for the deeper layers of the universe, it was very difficult to simulate.
"With my current strength, I can only enter the sixth space if I try my best. The seventh space is too dangerous; I can only enter it from the sixth space by searching for a space channel."
Su Ping shook his head slightly. His current strength was still far from being able to explore the truth of the universe.
At this moment, the interface began to count down.
The opponent would arrive in 30 seconds.
Su Ping took a deep breath. He suddenly realized that, although he could still move, he was limited to a range of several meters. He instantly realized that it was to prevent him from setting up traps in advance.
Thirty seconds passed quickly. A light flashed thousands of meters in front of Su Ping, and a figure made of virtual data appeared. It was a young man with white hair and a European face. His eyes were cold, and his pupils were as beautiful as a woman's. They decorated his face, giving him a unique nobility.
Su Ping nodded. Even the guy who ranked last on the Divine Lord Rank looked like the main character of a movie; he was extraordinary and eye-catching.
While Su Ping was observing, Clowe had already launched an attack.
Without saying anything, Clowe summoned nine Star Lord pets. One of them merged with his body, and the other eight formed a pet formation. Many enhancement techniques were cast, making Clowe's aura soar and his white hair fluttered.
Su Ping didn't hold back after seeing that. He summoned the Little Skeleton, the Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound and charged forward.
The Little Skeleton merged with the Inferno Dragon, and the Dark Dragon Hound charged at Clowe's pet formation under Su Ping's command.
They had been copied from Su Ping's consciousness by the artificial intelligence. Their abilities were the same as real ones, except that they didn't speak and seemed to lack vitality.
Violent power surged out of his body as the two merged. Su Ping didn't hold back; he had just made a breakthrough after a long time of hard work. He wanted to see where his limits were!
"Path of Time!
"Sword of Laws!
"Path of the Divine Sword, fifth move: Heavenly Fall!"
Su Ping charged out and performed his most powerful sword technique. The divine sword that was condensed with countless laws slashed down like a thunderbolt. However, the sword was slowed down when it was hundreds of meters away from Clowe's head, as if it had hit a swamp; its power was quickly dispersing.
Su Ping narrowed his eyes; he instantly sensed an invisible force field hundreds of meters away from Clowe.
To be more exact, it was a special world.
It was a small world that Clowe had created.
The pressure and the power of laws in the small world were more than ten times stronger than in a domain; ninety percent of his attack was weakened. The remaining power was easily crushed in the small world.
It's true that a battle between Star Lords depends on the strength of the small world. Laws are no longer enough!
Su Ping narrowed his eyes after seeing that. His small world suddenly burst out like a desolate stone egg and crashed into the enemy. The next moment, Su Ping felt that his body was being torn apart. His small world was also shaking violently, as if it were about to collapse. The power of faith that had been accumulated in the small world was also shaken out.
"My small world isn't strong enough …"
Su Ping became solemn; he immediately sensed the gap between them.
He could feel that the reason his small world had not completely collapsed was because of the law of time and the embryonic form of the law of destruction that he had just obtained. These two supreme laws were far superior to the other laws that supported his small world. They were like two solid and heavy walls that supported his small world.
Otherwise, the collision just now was equivalent to striking a rock with an egg, and he would be smashed to pieces!
I didn't know the gap was so huge …
Su Ping found it hard to accept. He was only ranked 100th on the Divine Lord Rank; he had to reach the top ten in order to leave the Celestial Court. It was not hard to imagine how huge the gap would be!
Right, a God General in the Demigod Burial once told me that a small world is an enhanced and ultimate version of a domain. Apart from the power of faith and laws, mental power can also be used to reinforce a small world!
Su Ping suddenly remembered a conversation they had a long time ago. He was still very weak back then; he had only casually asked about higher levels, and the guy had answered him casually.
However, the words flashed in his mind like lightning. Su Ping's eyes glittered. The next moment, a horrifying aura appeared behind him, and a deep and dirty Force Field appeared.
The Force Field was the manifestation of mental power. Su Ping had merged his Force Field with his small world.
Exactly then, an incredible scene took place.
The moment the dirty Force Field merged with the small world, the Force Field seemed to be shaking violently like boiling water. However, the shaking felt more like something was about to break out of the Force Field.
The horrifying giant shadows that had been flying behind the turbid Force Field suddenly disappeared, leaving only the shaking turbid Force Field.
Suddenly, when the Force Field had completely merged with the small world, Su Ping's heart was assaulted by a horrifying aura. He felt a chill run from his chest to the top of his head. Then, he saw a crack in the desolate small world, from which a sharp and hideous claw slowly reached out.
The claw was enormous, with a dry, ugly, and hideous skin.
The claw was about thirty meters long. It seemed to be the claw of a giant beast.
With the appearance of the claw, Su Ping immediately felt that his small world had become extremely heavy. He was dazed. Looking at the claw, he felt that it belonged to a horrifying creature he had seen in the Chaotic Realm of the Undead.
'Has this thing materialized in my Small World?'
Su Ping suddenly had the urge to try. After all, he was in a virtual world, and he wasn't afraid of failure. Gritting his teeth, he pushed his small world to collide with Clowe's small world again.
At the moment of collision, the strange claw in Su Ping's small world suddenly extended and pierced into Clowe's small world.
The claw's attack created an opening for Su Ping. The next moment, his small world crashed into the opening and immediately blocked Clowe's small world. The two small worlds were competing with each other, and neither was at a disadvantage.
The weird phenomenon shocked Su Ping. He noted it down and decided to investigate it later. While suppressing his opponent's small world with the claw, Su Ping launched a sword technique through the channel he had established with his small world and instantly reached Clowe.
Clowe remained silent. He quickly made a series of gestures and pointed forward. A giant arm pierced out of deep space; it was covered in purple and black spots, as if it were a hairy mummy's arm. It slapped at Su Ping.
Su Ping was quite surprised, as he had never seen such an attack before.
The sparring partners he had found in the cultivation sites were only at the Star State. After all, Star Lord sparring partners were usually killed instantly, and he didn't have much of a chance to improve himself.
Su Ping countered with the Fist of Exorcist. The dazzling golden fist carried a magnificent power, as if it would never back down.
The Fist of Exorcist seemed to have a special effect on the strange arm. As soon as the arm hit the arm, a sizzling sound was heard, as if the arm was being burned and corroded. Still, the horrifying strength carried by the arm shattered the Fist of Exorcist and knocked Su Ping away.
Su Ping was determined to fight. He roared and waved his fist again.
This time, he mobilized all his astral power and all his cells.
Boom!
The power of the Three Gods and the power of the Eight Nine Transformations!
The power of the two Star Atlases was concentrated in his arms. As he punched out, the terrifying fist shadows seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart. They collided with the purple-black giant arm. In an instant, ten fist shadows erupted, and the sound of banging could be heard.
By the time the fist auras were gone, the purple-black arm had been knocked back to the deep space.
Su Ping took a deep breath. He didn't know where Clowe had learned such a horrifying technique to summon such a weird thing to help him. The Star Lord geniuses were indeed different.
The battle went on. Su Ping's astral power surged like a raging ocean as he punched and slashed.
Clowe, on the other hand, had more tricks up his sleeves. Sometimes, he blocked Su Ping's attacks with his sword, and sometimes he snapped his fingers to pierce through Su Ping's fist.
Hum!
All of a sudden, white light was gathered in Clowe's hand and turned into an intimidating sword of light.
"That's a little unreasonable …"
Su Ping's lips twitched when he saw the intense power of faith on the sword of light. The power of faith was a thousand times greater than his!
Light gathered in his palm, and some white light gathered into a sword. However, it was far less dense and powerful than Clowe's. Su Ping was still too weak when it came to the power of faith.
"Huh?"
Exactly at that moment, Su Ping suddenly saw thick rays of light surging out of the depths of his small world. The power of faith was also flowing out of the dark and dirty area around the strange claw's wrist and melted into his small world.
Is that … from my Force Field?
Su Ping was stunned.
What's going on?
The power of faith is flowing out of my Force Field?
The light sword in Su Ping's hand glowed dazzlingly as the power of faith from the strange claw melted into it. The power of faith provided by the strange claw alone made Su Ping feel that he was in an ocean of faith from billions of people; he was surrounded by a powerful, sacred, and magnificent power.
Su Ping opened his eyes and slashed out again.
Bang!
The two swords made of the power of faith collided, and a dazzling light burst out. Then, Su Ping felt a sharp pain in his body and couldn't help but be flung back.
He tried to open his eyes, only to see that Clowe was also flying back and vomiting blood. He seemed to have been wounded too.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, a light flashed in front of his eyes.
The battlefield was gone. Su Ping opened his eyes again, only to find himself in front of the device in the palace.
"What's going on?" Su Ping was stunned.
Elder Yan's voice came from the side. "The battle will be canceled if you fail, or if more than 90% of your virtual body is damaged, in case you suffer mental damage."
"I thought I could last thirty seconds at best, but you lasted three minutes. As expected of the Supreme God's chosen disciple." Elder Yan had mixed feelings and appreciated Su Ping.
It was absolutely unbelievable that a Star State warrior had managed to resist Clowe for three minutes.
Su Ping put on a bitter smile. He had already wounded the guy; he felt that he might have had a chance of winning if he had persisted a bit longer.
However, there were a lot of things that he didn't understand in the battle.
"Elder Yan, can the power of faith be obtained from my mental power?" asked Su Ping curiously, remembering the power of faith that had flown out of his Force Field.
Su Ping came back to his senses and saw Elder Yan.
