Chapter 918

Time zipped by.

In the blink of an eye, the trial was coming to an end.

Su Ping ran into several participants from other zones during his hunt. Some of them were attacked by the zombies but Su Ping didn't help them. After all, it would be dangerous for him to deal with the zombies himself.

The participants from other zones tried to snatch Su Ping's God Cores, but Su Ping defeated them all and eliminated them in advance.

As Su Ping had expected, the Ruins of Divinity was just like the small world of the Supremes. The participants would be teleported away when they were about to be killed.

I have 32000 God Cores. I don't know where I'll rank, but I should be able to make it to the Top 100, Su Ping thought. He had been cautious and conscientious along the way. He was confident that his hunting efficiency was quite high. It was unlikely that he would be eliminated. If things went well, he could make it to the Top 3.

"I'll have to ask my master about the Creepy Corpse and the Ruins of Divinity," Su Ping said to himself, remembering the familiar eyes of the Creepy Corpse.

He had never seen the Creepy Corpse's face before, but the eyes of the Creepy Corpse gave him a sense of familiarity.

Soon, the trial came to an end.

Su Ping was fighting a Creepy Corpse when he suddenly felt lighter. Then, he was enveloped by a vast energy and left from the deep space. When he reappeared, he was back on the Chaotic Divine Herb.

Su Ping looked around and noticed that there were fewer people around him. There were only a few familiar faces.

Su Jiner was not far away from him. She looked at him as well. There was dust on her pretty face, but she smiled when her eyes met Su Ping's.

On the other side, the young man with the golden wheel who had been enslaved by Su Ping had also been selected.

Su Ping also saw Linghu Jian, the disciple of the God of Swords.

The Dragon King and the Thousandleaf Holy Princess were nowhere to be seen. Everyone that had been protected by Su Ping, such as Cleishabai and Iberta Luna, had been eliminated.

Su Ping felt it was a pity, but he also knew that it would be difficult for them to survive in the Ruins of Divinity.

Even if it was him, if he was unlucky and accidentally became the target of a Deity Conferred Corpse, he might be eliminated early.

"294 survivors!"

A magnificent figure flew over. It was an Ascendant One; he was tall and strong, looking down at everyone like a god. "You've completed the survival requirement. Now, the Divine Cores you've hunted will be counted. The top hundred will be ranked according to the number of Divine Cores you've obtained. You'll be able to participate in the next round of the competition.

"One Star Lord Divine Core is worth five!"

"Next, please take out your Divine Cores and count them."

There were 1,200 participants in the twelve zones, but only three hundred survived in the end.

Everyone took out their Divine Cores and piled them up in front of them as the Ascendant One spoke. Some took out hundreds of Divine Cores, while others took out thousands. The pile was as tall as half a person.

Su Ping checked the others while he took out the Divine Cores. He was relieved to see that most of them had hundreds or even thousands of Divine Cores.

Still, that was normal.

After all, it wasn't easy to kill a thousand Star State Creepy Corpses in only a few days.

Very soon, the Star Lords arrived and started counting the Divine Cores.

The counting was quite fast. The number of Divine Cores could be detected as easily as if it were being measured by a device.

The Star Lords began to register.

Some people exclaimed in surprise when Su Ping took out the Divine Cores. The geniuses who had hunted a thousand Divine Cores were all slightly shocked when they saw the mountain of Divine Cores in front of Su Ping. They thought that they had hunted enough and that they could at least make it to the Top 100, or even the Top 10.

However, it turned out that there were indeed a lot of geniuses!

Apart from Su Ping's pile, many other people had also taken out a lot of Divine Cores.

The pile of Divine Cores in front of Su Jiner reached the height of her head. However, she was stunned when she saw the number of Divine Cores in front of Su Ping. She then shook her head with a bitter smile, feeling rather helpless. She didn't expect that they would be forced to leave the competition by the pure humans. It would be very embarrassing if their identities were exposed.

"Humph!"

A young man in blood-red clothes had a mountain of god cores in front of him. He looked around disdainfully. When he saw that there were a few people who had piles of god cores in front of them that were no less than his, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes turned slightly cold.

He had thought that he was the most outstanding one, but he didn't expect that there would be a few more!

Soon, the number of Divine Cores was tabulated.

"First place, Luo Ying of the Black Pupil Sector!"

"The number is 43292!"

"Second place, Su Ping of the Golden Sector, 39201!"

"Third place, Stephen Reyno of the Billowing Sword Sector, 39200!"

"Fourth place, Dragon Shepherds of the Heavenly Dragon Sector, 31382!"

"Fifth place …"

The Apotheosized God announced the rankings one by one. After the top ten were announced, the remaining people's rankings were directly displayed on a projection screen.

The others quickly searched for their names. Some looked at the hundredth place at the very end. Many were in despair when they saw the number of Divine Cores there was 8,209.

They knew how many Divine Cores they had. They didn't even have to look to know that they had been surpassed.

"I didn't make it …"

Linghu Jian felt bitter when he saw the number of Divine Cores at the hundredth place. He had only hunted a little over two thousand Divine Cores. He was still several times away from the passing mark.

Is this what a top talent in the universe looks like?

Ever since he was a kid, he had always been ahead of his peers. He was the brightest star on the entire planet, including the entire solar system. But in the vast universe, he hadn't even made it to the Top 100.

One could imagine what kind of freaks those who had made it to the Top 100 were.

"Second place?"

Su Ping was surprised to see the ranking but he soon accepted it. It was just as he had guessed. He was at least in the Top 5. He just didn't know that he had almost made it to the first place.

"He hunted over four thousand more Divine Cores than I did. That guy is fast." Su Ping's eyes glowed. He believed that he hadn't wasted much time during that time. He had been hunting day and night. His method had been effective and he had even used the Darkness Constitution of the Voodoo Race.

However, his speed had been surpassed by more than four thousand Divine Cores.

"Just one more?"

A young man with a deep-set face and a strong nose was stunned. He was only one Divine Core behind the person in second place. That was amazing.

He couldn't help but look at Su Ping in the crowd.

Su Ping, on the other hand, was checking out Luo Ying. She was a skinny young man in a black outfit. His exposed skin was covered with scales that were glowing with dark purple lightning.

Luo Ying was also observing the other people at the top of the rankings. She turned to look at Su Ping as well. Their eyes met. Neither of them moved away; they just stared at each other in silence.

Luo Ying suddenly put on a smile. She gave Su Ping a strange look, as if to say, "I'm waiting for your challenge."

Su Ping smiled and turned to the others.

Luo Ying was in first place at the moment, but the others couldn't underestimate her. After all, no one could tell if the others were hiding their strength. Besides, some of them might not be good at hunting and were more suited to fighting.

"The top ten will get a chance to enter the Divine Soul Sea."

"The time limit is 10 minutes."

"The top three can enter for 30 minutes."

"The champion can enter for an hour."

"As for the rest of you, rest well here and prepare for the competition in two days. By the way, the Paragons have already come to an agreement to give you a new topic. The competition in two days will be exceptionally cruel, so I hope you're all prepared. When the time comes, you might really die!"

The Ascendant One said casually.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard that.

They knew that the Ascendant One wasn't trying to scare them. They would really die.

"What is the Spirit Sea?" Su Ping was curious. The time difference between the second and first place was twice as long. The other top ten could only enter for 10 minutes. The Spirit Sea was precious.

"The ten of you, come with me."

With that said, the Ascendant One waved his hand and Su Ping and the other nine were teleported to his side. Then, he disappeared with them. When they reappeared, they were in front of a hall.

Two Ascendant Ones were standing outside the hall, as if they were guards.

A vague and mighty holy aura was spreading from the hall. They didn't have to look to know that there were supreme beings inside.

That Ascended God Realm expert came to visit. He came outside the hall and bowed, saying, "Supreme beings, I have already brought them over. We are preparing to head to the Divine Soul Sea."

"Yes, go ahead."

An indifferent voice came from inside. It was Supreme Mu Shen who had spoken earlier.

"The Spirit Sea is the core area of the Mysterious Realm. It's a special place where you can absorb a vast amount of Divine Power, as well as the remains of countless Divine Souls and Murmurs of the Ancient Gods. Stay true to your heart and comprehend it. The opportunity to become a god is hidden there." The Supreme God's voice suddenly appeared in Su Ping's mind.

Su Ping was surprised. He immediately bowed and nodded to the hall.

At that moment, the Ascendant One returned and teleported again with Su Ping and the others. When they reappeared, they saw a golden world in front of them. They could vaguely see dark red figures floating in the golden world, like illusory shadows.

"Go in. When the time is right, I will pull you out. You just have to focus on comprehending. This is a rare opportunity." The Ascendant God looked at Su Ping and the others. He didn't seem cold at all. Instead, he put on a smile.

Although Su Ping and the others were still geniuses and had yet to grow up, they were destined to become gods in the future. Once they became gods, they would be the best among their peers and might even become Heavenly Lords. Therefore, even the Ascendant One wouldn't put on airs easily. After all, for the Ascendant One, a thousand years would pass in the blink of an eye. Those little guys would have grown up by then.

The others seemed to know what the Spirit Sea was. Their eyes glowed.

In the next instant, everyone flew in, racing against time.

As soon as they entered, Su Ping felt he was in an ocean of Divine Power, which was even more intense than Joanna's Pond of Divine Power. Apart from the aura of Divine Power, Su Ping immediately sensed a vast, ethereal, and ethereal consciousness floating around him like ribbons that could be touched.

"Dao …"

"So, there's something deeper above the Dao."

"Is this the feeling that the Ascendant One is pursuing?"

Su Ping felt that his consciousness had touched something that looked like a speck of dust, but there was an endless universe inside the dust. He was shocked. All of a sudden, he understood something. When the rules became the rules and the rules became the world, what would the world become?

Why did he have to understand the Dao?

"God …"

"Invisible, but omnipresent … That's God!"

Su Ping felt that his consciousness was being cleansed. His mind had become empty and vast. The many incredible beings he had seen in the cultivation sites appeared in his mind again. There seemed to be something more to those beings that Su Ping could see more clearly. He was even more shocked, fearful, and awed by them.

"I'm lonely …"

"I'm going to die. Come here and keep me company."

"Gu Zhantian, why are you going there alone? Do you want to slay the heavens on your own?!"

All of a sudden, many "voices" invaded Su Ping's mind. Some of them were wailing, some were crying, and some were roaring.

In a trance, Su Ping seemed to see a man in a white robe standing in a broken void, holding a sword in his hand. The man turned around and looked back. His eyes were imprinted in time and space, indelible. The man said softly, "I'm going to slay the heavens. I'm going to slay the heavens so that those things can't come!"

"You can't go!!"

"It has to be me!!"

Someone shouted. The man in the white robe was even more unbridled. He was radiating an unparalleled aura.

The broken void drowned the man. More wails were heard.

"Time's up."

All of a sudden, a voice came. Su Ping felt his body lightened. Then, all the voices disappeared. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing outside the golden world. He had returned to where he had been before.

At this moment, only one figure remained in the golden world. It was Luo Ying.

The others around Su Ping had already come out. Some of them had their eyes closed, as if they were still reflecting on their gains, while others seemed to be suffering from constipation.

"There are too many soul thoughts in there. The interference is too strong."

"They're affecting my comprehension of the Ascension Stage. Damn it!"

"I'm told that this is a special ninth space. It's a forbidden area, but for some special reasons, even we can enter."

Su Ping was stunned.

The ninth space was an extremely deep space.

Su Ping didn't know how many layers there were in the universe, but he could only tear open the fifth space with his current combat ability. He would run into terrifying void creatures in the sixth space, most of which were Star Lords!

Even Star Lords would be in danger in the sixth space.

As for the seventh space, Su Ping couldn't imagine it.

He didn't expect to see the ninth space in front of him!

Given his abilities, he would die instantly even if he were to stand in there, let alone tear it open.

Su Ping thought to himself, The images I saw were left behind in the Ninth Space. They must have happened in the ancient times. The one who said he was going to cut off the Heavenly Law must have been a talent from the ancient times, a peerless hero.
