Chapter 619

"That pattern … is huge!"

Su Ping was also startled to see the runes triggered by the Sword of the Void.

He knew that the sword was powerful and it was the most powerful move he had ever created. However, he didn't know that it would be more powerful than the skill the system had given him!

"I kind of created it myself …"

Su Ping murmured to himself.

He had combined part of the Sin Cutter and the Fist of Exorcist for that move. He had also learned from countless life-and-death experiences in the cultivation sites. He had used up all of his potential. He didn't know that this move was more profound than the other skills he had learned!

"If that's the case, then the Fist of Exorcist …"

Su Ping's eyes glowed. A golden glow burst out from his fist as he punched.

The golden fist landed on the stele. A moment later, nothing happened to the stele.

Su Ping was confused.

The Fist of Exorcist was a skill at the divine level and it was a reward from the system. How come it didn't count?

"Of course this skill is at the initiation level, and it's much more powerful than your half-created one. But you've only mastered the first level. You're barely at the beginner level. There's no way you can activate the essence!" The system's voice echoed in Su Ping's mind.

"…"

Su Ping curled his lips …

But on second thought, he realized that the system had a point.

There were seven levels to the Fist of Exorcist, and he had only comprehended the first level. While he was cultivating, he saw the owner of this art kill countless beasts with a single punch. Some of those beasts were as big as mountains, and some were as big as adult Golden Crows.

If it was cultivated to the peak, it would definitely be an extraordinary and peerless power!

"Such a pity."

Su Ping shook his head. He hadn't been cultivating for long enough to reach the second level. But he could feel that he was approaching the threshold of the second level after the previous battles.

Soon, he would be able to reach the second level.

"Again!"

Su Ping turned his hand over. The golden glow on the Ashura Sword faded away and the black flames began to burn. This was the pure Sin Cutter, without any additions.

Bang!

The aura of the sword slashed at the tablet of principles.

A moment later, there was still no reaction from the tablet.

Su Ping was disappointed. It seemed that his Sin Cutter hadn't reached the fundamental principles, either.

That was the most powerful sword skill that Dusk had taught him. It was as powerful as the Fist of Exorcist, but he had only mastered the basics.

"I'm glad that you know. You still have a long way to go. Work hard," the system said calmly.

"…"

…

"Those two skills are not good enough. They haven't even reached the threshold."

"But I think they will reach the threshold in time. Those outsiders …"

The Golden Crows were relieved to see that Su Ping's Fist of Exorcist and Sin Cutter hadn't triggered any runes. At the same time, they could tell that Su Ping's two skills were shallow.

However, some of the super Golden Crows, which were enormous in size, looked serious.

They could tell that Su Ping's two skills had a strong framework. It was a pity that Su Ping hadn't been able to trigger them. Given enough time, Su Ping would have reached the threshold and those two skills would have been extremely powerful!

"Descendant of a Heaven Master. He deserves his reputation …"

"No wonder he's here."

Some of the super Golden Crows had learned of Su Ping's background. They no longer looked down on the human; they were quite alarmed.

…

"They're both Sky-rank skills."

The elder on the left heaved a sigh.

The Golden Crow Elder on the right took a glance and shook his head.

All of them could tell that the skill had great potential. It was a pity that Su Ping hadn't fully mastered it yet. Still, it would be good enough if he could reach the threshold.

Those two skills had proven Su Ping's identity once again.

If he didn't have the backing of an Empyrean, how could he have obtained such a powerful cultivation technique with his cultivation?

…

Su Ping didn't have any other skills to use after trying out the Sin Cutter. Besides, he had passed the test and there was no need to try again. He still had to take part in the comprehensive trial. It would be good for him to hide something.

With that in mind, Su Ping left the stele. His trial had come to an end.

Many Golden Crows were relieved to see that Su Ping had stopped. If Su Ping were to show another skill as horrifying as the Sword of the Void, he would undoubtedly win the third trial. That would be a humiliation and a blow to the Golden Crows!

The young Golden Crows were relieved to see Su Ping flying back, but soon, they became vigilant and solemn. That outsider's performance in the three trials had been eye-catching. Not only were the Golden Crows not happy about it, but they were also taking him seriously, not daring to underestimate him.

…

"You've touched the power of laws …"

Diqiong said to Su Ping. The complicated feelings in its eyes faded away.

Su Ping raised his eyebrows. "What power of laws?"

“？”

Diqiong looked at him in confusion. Since Su Ping didn't seem to be asking a question he already knew the answer to, Diqiong snorted. "Nothing. Go back and ask your Heaven Master."

"…"

Su Ping didn't know what to say. That stupid bird always didn't finish its sentence.

Although Diqiong didn't go into the details, Su Ping did understand. He had heard about the power of laws from Joanna's subordinates at the Star Rank back in the Demigod Burial!

Only those at the Star Rank at the Star Rank could master and understand the power of laws.

It was like how those at the legendary rank could master skills such as teleportation, folding, and confinement.

As for the experts in the starry sky, in addition to mastering the basic space-time force, they also have the power of Rule Force!

Su Ping had seen the power of laws in the Dragon Tower at the Valiant Academy. He had a deep understanding of the age limit in the Dragon Tower. At the same time, he couldn't figure it out.

He had speculated that the owner of the Dragon Pagoda, Heaven Killer, was young. That was why the finger that was cut off from his body would be restricted by the natural laws.

Entering the Dragon Tower would be like entering the inside of the finger.

The age of the finger before it was cut off would cause the owner to reject anything older than his age.

It was hard to believe but it was the only answer and explanation he could come up with.

If that were the case, then Heaven Killer would be horrifying.

However, it was also possible that the Heaven Killer Emperor had reconstructed his body just like Joanna, which explained why he was able to achieve such a terrifying strength in his twenties.

Su Ping shook his head. Neither Heaven Killer nor the Golden Crows were worthy of his attention. He was still far from reaching them.

…

The other young Golden Crows went on after Su Ping's trial.

Several hours later, the trial came to an end.

Many of the Golden Crows at the end of the trial failed. None of them performed well.

When the results were announced, Su Ping's performance was once again ranked second!

He had only activated five runes, but one of them was a mature rune, the power of laws!

That fact alone had allowed him to surpass the Golden Crows that had activated six or even seven runes!

In first place was the Golden Crow that had activated eight Dao patterns. Among the eight Dao patterns, two of them were close to the embryonic form of the power of rules. Therefore, it was ranked first.

Su Ping caught the attention of many Golden Crows after the results were announced.

Su Ping didn't care much about the results. He would leave after the trial and he didn't know if he would come back again.

"Next is the comprehensive combat trial," the Chief Elder said.

Said the Great Elder of the Golden Crow Tribe. As it spoke, the stele rapidly shrank. It went from being unreachable to a tiny cube, and then it disappeared into nothingness.

A battlefield appeared in the void as the Tablet of Principles disappeared.

This battlefield was extremely huge. It was the size of a planet, an incomparably vast continent!

All the young Golden Crows would be fighting and killing. Even if some Golden Crows died, the elders would turn back time and bring them back to life.

That was a battle where they would do their best!

"Kids, let's go."

The Chief Elder said.

The eyes of the young Golden Crows glowed with anticipation and excitement. Some of the Golden Crows were the first to dash into the battlefield. They whooshed over Su Ping's head like aircraft carriers. Their huge bodies cast shadows on the branches …

Su Ping was ready to take off to get used to the environment.

Right then, he heard the Chief Elder's voice in his head. "You have passed the trial. You don't have to take the rest."

Su Ping was surprised.

He didn't have to take the comprehensive trial?

"Why?" Su Ping was confused.

Although he was happy to do so, it was a little sudden.

"This is a trial for the Golden Crows. If you go in, you will inevitably be attacked by others, which is not fair to you. You have done enough," the Chief Elder said.

Su Ping was surprised. He remembered how the young Golden Crows looked at him. He understood.

Indeed, he would be attacked by others if he went in. He wasn't afraid of that. However, it would be humiliating for the Golden Crows on the off chance that he could use his resurrection ability to fight his way out …

"Okay," Su Ping said, "What about my materials …"

"I will give them to you. Also, according to the rules of the Golden Crows, those who pass the trial will receive a drop of heaven's blood. You will receive a drop of heaven's blood to activate your divine body!"

Su Ping was surprised. "Heaven's blood?"

"Yes."

The Chief Elder said, "That is the first ancestor of the Golden Crows. He once killed Yi Daotian!"

Su Ping held his breath. Killed Yi Daotian?

Even heaven could be killed by him?!

Su Ping remembered that the system had told him that Heaven Masters were beings beyond heaven. Su Ping was moved.

"Thank you, Chief Elder!"

Su Ping said at once. He was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't have to think to know that the heaven's blood was precious!

Otherwise, the Golden Crows wouldn't have been so stingy as to directly give the blood to their descendants.

At the same time, the young Golden Crows had taken off like a flock of crows and dashed into the battlefield in the sky. The battlefield closed after all the Golden Crows had gone in.
