"Go, but don't kill him."
Su Ping said softly.
Whoosh!
The Little Skeleton sensed Su Ping's will as soon as it appeared. It dashed out from the altar and charged at the young man.
"Huh?"
The young man was stunned to see that Su Ping had merely summoned a pet to fight him. He then blushed and trembled in fury. He was a Star System State genius after all. Even though he wasn't as talented as Su Ping, he couldn't be defeated by a pet.
"You …"
The Little Skeleton had already approached him before he could say anything. It didn't care about the rules at all; it simply slashed out a black saber aura, cutting the space around it apart.
The young man narrowed his eyes and summoned his pets without saying anything. Instantly, six Star Lord pets appeared around him. Four of them were dragons, while the other two were quite rare.
The two dragons were alarmed as soon as they came out. Two of the dragons used their secret skills to protect the young man. At the same time, two small worlds enveloped the young man, making him invisible. The only way to find him was to defeat the two battle pets.
"You're not the only one with Star Lord pets. What's the point of relying on your pets?" roared the young man furiously from the small worlds.
Su Ping remained silent while sitting on the altar.
On the altar — the Little Skeleton's saber aura had been blocked. It looked at the six Star Lord beasts; their intimidating aura instantly made it enter the battle state during training. Black mist surged out of its body and enshrouded it. Its white bones were vaguely visible in the mist, making it look like a demon that had just walked out of an abyss.
Hiss! Hiss!
Suddenly, the light around its body dimmed, as if it had been swallowed by something. Then, a dark semicircle appeared, and some hideous silhouettes could be vaguely seen in it. It let out a hair-raising roar, as if it was purgatory on earth.
"A small world?"
"That skeleton seems to only be in the Star State, right?"
All the Ascendant State experts on the altar were shocked to see that. It was understandable that some human geniuses could condense small worlds in the Star State, but even a pet could?
Down below the altar — Six Lives Buddha and Lilian looked at each other in bewilderment. Su Ping's Star State skeleton had condensed a small world … What the hell is that?
Roar!
A furious roar suddenly erupted from the miniature world. Shortly after, an extremely thick shadow charged out of the miniature world and condensed into the bone blade in Han Hao's hand. The blade instantly erupted with a pitch-black blade ray that cut the surrounding space apart. All energy that approached the blade ray was pulverized. This was the Law of Destruction!
That was right. Su Ping had used the Spirit Transmission skill he had obtained from the system. Under his guidance, the Little Skeleton had also grasped the law of destruction!
Its small world was also close to the limits of the first level!
Along with the law of destruction, the power of faith appeared from the dark small world. Countless undead creatures seemed to be crawling out and pouring all their faith into the Little Skeleton. Those undead creatures had been conquered by the Little Skeleton in the cultivation sites.
The resplendent saber light illuminated the entire ceremonial platform in an instant. It flashed past the eyes of countless people and crashed down with a loud bang!
"Well …"
On the altar, the young man was already stunned. He had been completely overwhelmed by the aura of the attack. He wanted to dodge, but he couldn't even think of dodging. He simply stood there in a daze.
Beside him, a dragon beast suddenly roared and rushed out. It let out a sorrowful cry and released its small world to cover its body. Then, it rushed forward.
Bang!
Blood spurted out, and the dragon roared.
The gigantic dragon corpse fell down. The chest of this dragon beast was cut open, its small world was shattered, and its spiritual origin was severely damaged. Its gigantic body fell heavily in front of the young man. Blood gushed out like a waterfall, dying the ground red. Its head was on the ground, and the young man's figure was reflected in its gigantic dragon eyes.
Eventually, its eyelids were slowly closed; it was reluctant to part with him.
The scene was frozen in the young man's eyes. He felt as if he had woken up from a dream; he was soaked in a cold sweat. Sorrow surged out of his heart, but it soon turned into fear. He raised his head, only to see the small black shadow standing above his head like the God of Death. The saber aura reappeared!
"No, no …"
The young man felt cold, as if he had seen death. His eyes were bloodshot and cracked. He tried to urge the other pets to attack, but they were all intimidated by the Little Skeleton. Even though they were Star Lords, they felt the fear of death from the small world and the demonic aura that the Little Skeleton had displayed.
They slowly backed off, enduring the excruciating pain in their heads despite the young man's command through the contract.
After all, they could tell the difference between pain and death.
"Please show mercy!"
All of a sudden, a man flew over and landed in front of the young man. He hurriedly shouted at Su Ping who was still on the altar.
Su Ping lowered his eyes. The Little Skeleton, which was about to take action, stopped. However, the dark mist was still surging around the Little Skeleton.
"Mr. … Mr. Su, he's being immature. Please don't lower yourself to his level. I apologize on his behalf …"
The middle-aged man's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He found that he was under great pressure while standing in front of the skeleton. He had been a Star Lord for a long time; he was still a real Star Lord, even though he had been working for his family for a long time.
"He hasn't surrendered. The competition isn't over yet," said Su Ping indifferently.
The middle-aged man came back to his senses and quickly turned around, asking the young man to surrender.
The young man came back to his senses and hurriedly opened his mouth to surrender. It was humiliating, but he had provoked Su Ping because someone had asked him to. He also knew that he was bound to lose in a duel with the number one genius of the universe, but he didn't expect that Su Ping would send out a pet to push him to such an extent before he even joined the battle.
At this moment, right when he was about to speak, a shadow suddenly flashed over. The little skeleton that was in midair earlier had suddenly vanished, and the Spacetime Dao appeared. Its figure was like a ghost that instantly arrived before the young man.
"I …"
Pew!
He was interrupted by excruciating pain before he could finish his sentence; his arms fell in front of him. The Little Skeleton was only half a meter away from him, gazing at him with red light in its eye sockets.
"I give up!"
Roared the young man while holding back his pain.
The red light in the Little Skeleton's eyes was gone. It flashed and absorbed the black mist, before it returned to Su Ping's side. Then, a summoning gate appeared, and the Little Skeleton stepped into it and disappeared, as if it had never been there.
However, the entire place was silent.
Everybody looked at the young man on the high platform with different expressions.
"Thank — Thank you for sparing my life, Mr. Su." The middle-aged man's face was pale. He realized that he was unable to stop the skeleton at all. He probably wouldn't have ended well if the skeleton had gone after him. Is it really a Star State pet?
A monster with a monster. Is that the best resource a Divine Lord's disciple gets?
Su Ping didn't say anything; he simply withdrew his gaze and ignored the young man.
The young man whose arms had been cut off had a pale face. He wanted to stop the bleeding but found that he couldn't stop it no matter what he did. He was terrified. As the blood continued to gush out, a faint feeling of dizziness came over him. He could feel the remnant of the Destruction Law in his wounds. With the Law he had grasped, he couldn't erase it.
Pew!
He controlled his energy and cut off another piece of his wound. Only then was he able to stop the bleeding.
There was hatred in his eyes as he looked at the man on the high platform, but more fear and trepidation. They were both in the Star State, yet the man had been able to kill him effortlessly. He had six Star Lord pets, but they still couldn't protect him. Is that the strength of a top genius in the universe?
It was the first time in his life that he had ever been so close to such a top figure. He suddenly regretted doing such a stupid thing for petty gains.
The young man held back his grief as he looked at the broken arms on the ground and the dragon corpse in front of him. He had obtained the Long Chong when he was in the Fate State. He didn't expect that it would lose its life that day.
An Ascendant State expert from the Loulan family asked them to leave the stage after the young man admitted defeat. Su Ping's performance also changed the opinions of the Ascendant State experts of the Loulan family who didn't think highly of Su Ping. They finally recognized the strength and style of the top genius of the universe.
There was a brief moment of silence after the young man left the stage. Then, the other contestants went on the stage one after another; the atmosphere was heated again.
However, they were more interested in talking about Su Ping's battle pet.
Many Star Lords, including those in the Star State, could tell that the Little Skeleton was a Star State warrior. After all, the Little Skeleton didn't try to hide it, but the fact that it could condense a small world was already horrifying enough. Few human geniuses such as Six Lives Buddha could do that.
But now, even a pet could do it. That was a bit unbelievable.
Besides, they had never heard of any Ascendant State beast that looked like a skeleton. There was no such thing in the Federation's illustrated handbook.
It was a new and rare pet, but it was too rare!
Besides, even pets with Ascendant State bloodlines weren't as talented as that when they were in the Star State.
"A Supreme God's disciple is truly extraordinary. He must have been trained by a divine-level trainer, right?"
"Only a divine-level trainer could have trained such a talented pet. Tsk, tsk. That's the best resource!"
"Won't the pet be able to defeat all the Star Lords when it advances to the Star Lord State? It will be able to crush half of the Star Lords with its pet alone. Wouldn't it be a piece of cake for it to reach the Divine Lord Rank? "
Everybody attributed the strength of the skeleton to Su Ping's master. After all, that was the only reasonable explanation.
Su Ping didn't really care about the discussions. Although it was a good opportunity to advertise his store, he didn't need to advertise, considering that there were already too many customers outside his store.
"A skeleton …"
On the high platform — next to an Ascendant State expert — Ye Ling's eyes flashed coldly. He didn't expect Su Ping to have such a monstrous pet.
Dragon Shepard was also shocked in the crowd; he felt that his worldview had been overturned.
Weren't dragons supposed to be the strongest pets?
How come there's such a horrifying mutant among the skeletons of the demon class?
"That skeleton is probably as strong as two or three of my dragons …" Dragon Shepard had mixed feelings; he was on the verge of collapsing. His pets had always been his greatest reliance, but they had been surpassed by someone else. That was quite upsetting.
"Why do I feel that we're inferior to that guy's pet?" Next to him — Six Lives Buddha's face was twitching. He looked at Su Ping, who was still standing on the high platform as if nothing had happened, feeling that the guy was deliberately showing off to them!
"…"
Lilian fell silent.
They had been chasing Su Ping all this time, only to find that Su Ping's pet was catching up to them. It was like a backstab!
The geniuses of the Loulan family and other star zones went on the stage one after another to compete with each other. Soon after, the red-robed young man who had been recuperating jumped onto the stage again, leading to the climax of the segment.
Xuan Yuanlong, from the Sword Head Star Zone, didn't avoid the battle this time; he simply joined the stage.
A fierce battle soon broke out. Everybody focused their attention on it, including the Ascendant State experts on the high platform. Putting aside their levels, the battle between the two of them was already one of the best below the Ascendant State.
"Those who rank high on the Divine Lord Rank are truly geniuses. They've already reached the peak of the Star Lord State," remarked an Ascendant State expert on the high platform.
"I've heard that if one could comprehend all four Daos into the Dao, that would be the limit. I reckon that only these monsters have the talent to comprehend them. Back then, my talent was limited and I could only focus on one Dao. In the end, I was able to peek into the source of the Dao and awaken my spirituality. From there, I weaved my own Dao.
"Those kids have a good chance of reaching the Ascendant State if they're willing to stick to the same path."
"I don't think we need to say that. Many people have already taught them that. However, geniuses are geniuses because they're different from the rest; they're unwilling to be mediocre."
"I once heard a very talented Star Lord say that what's the point of reaching the Ascendant State if you can't become the strongest Ascendant State expert? Just listen, such arrogant thoughts are something that only these little fellows who are overflowing with natural talent can say. Unfortunately, in the end, that little fellow was unable to become a god until his death and was beaten to death. "
Su Ping was also watching the battle while listening to the Ascendant State experts' discussion. The two of them had similar accumulations in all aspects. Their small worlds were solid, and they had both grasped three supreme laws. They were only slightly weaker than Su Ping at the moment.
My master taught me the path of life back then, but I had to rely on myself if I wanted to reach the path. Not even Celestials can teach me directly. Su Ping watched the battle in silence, feeling the gap between the Federation and the Archean Divinity. The Archean Divinity had been cultivating more and more experts in the cultivation world.
Those experts would undoubtedly surpass the Ascendant State experts of the Federation and be as strong as Heavenly Lords once they reached the Ascendant State.
I have to reach the limit as soon as possible and condense the second layer of the small world. I'll redefine Heavenly Lords when I reach the Ascendant State! Su Ping thought with glittering eyes.
