Chapter 919

He had only spent half an hour in the Sea of Soul but he had learned a lot. He could vaguely see something about the Ascendant State.

If he could stay there for a few more days, he was sure that he would be able to understand the Ascendant State.

Maybe I'll have a chance to stay there longer if I win first place in the finals, Su Ping said to himself.

There was another person in the Sea of Soul at the moment; it was Luo Ying.

Half an hour later, Luo Ying was moved out from the Sea of Soul. He was surrounded by a hazy purple glow, like lightning, or some other kind of special light.

He slowly opened his eyes. There was a flash of gold in them. His eyes were empty. There was a moment of confusion, but it soon disappeared and his eyes became sharp.

"Sir, I heard that some powerful forces from ancient times can be imprinted in the deep space. I saw those heroes die in there. What were they fighting against?"

Luo Ying turned around and asked the Ascendant One.

The others were slightly stunned, and their gazes moved slightly as they looked at this Godly Ascendant.

"That's something from the ancient times. You don't need to know these secrets at your level, but you all have a chance to become gods in the future. This is your opportunity, so it's okay to know in advance. It's said that when the universe reaches a certain age, all kinds of disasters will occur. Some of them are wars between humans, mutual destruction, and some are wars with wild beasts.

"In addition, there are some special things in the history that have been buried in dust, but they are now extinct."

"In short, you just need to know that the universe isn't as peaceful as you think it is. The borders are invaded by wild beasts all year round. The galaxies and regions you live in haven't encountered any disasters because there are people guarding them for you. So, if you have the ability, cultivate well. In the future, we will rely on you to protect our territory!"

The Ascendant One said.

Luo Ying frowned slightly. This wasn't the answer he wanted.

He had seen many things in there. He felt that there seemed to be even deeper dangers hidden in the universe.

Otherwise, why would those unrivalled heroes in that scene disregard everything to kill, to cut off their path of retreat?

Su Ping looked at Luo Ying. It was obvious that she had also seen some of the ancient images left behind by the strong spirits of the heroes. It was a pity that the Ascendant of Divinity seemed to be talking about the dangers of wild beasts, not the answer Su Ping wanted to hear.

Maybe, this is a level that the Ascendant One can't reach yet, Su Ping thought.

"You've all been baptized in the Sea of Souls. Even if you only stay there for ten minutes, if you have good comprehension skills, a seed of ascension will be buried in your hearts. You will all have a chance to become gods in the future. Go back and prepare for it. The next matches won't be easy," the Ascendant One said calmly.

Then, he led everyone out of the Hall of Supremacy.

The tour guides of the various star zones were waiting outside the hall. Su Ping saw You Long. The latter flew over to Su Ping and said to him with a smile, "Little brother, you're good. You won the second place. It's a shame that you were unlucky. Otherwise, you could have won the first place. Anyway, it's a good deal to be able to stay in the Sea of Souls for half an hour."

Su Ping suddenly thought of Dias. He turned around but didn't see Dias in the first five kilometers. Su Ping was surprised.

The next second, Dias's face popped up in his mind. Dias would probably grit his teeth when he saw that Su Ping had won the second place …

Su Ping smiled and said to You Long, "You flatter me. I'm going to go into closed-door training. I heard that the next matches will be brutal."

You Long nodded with a solemn expression. "The next competition will be in the Void Battlefield. It's a deep battlefield near the Divine Sea secret realm. Even if you enter the sixth space, you'll be in danger. When you fight there, you'll have to leave the protection of the star formation. You'll have to be careful of the strange things that float out of the space."

Su Ping's expression slightly changed. He didn't expect that the next match would be so dangerous.

That was a place that even Star Lords had to be cautious about in the sixth space.

"Got it."

Su Ping nodded.

He had once entered the fifth space when he was in the cultivation sites, only to be dragged to the sixth space by a crack. He had seen how dangerous the sixth space was.

"There are two days to go. I'll take you to rest," said You Long.

Su Ping nodded.

The guides from the other zones also picked up the geniuses from their zones.

Soon after, You Long took Su Ping to a palace.

The palace was covered in a star formation, as well as a small-scale star formation for cultivation.

"This is my residence. You can stay here for now and rest well. Nobody will disturb you," said You Long with a smile.

Su Ping took a deep breath after sensing the abundant astral power in the palace. "Thank you, Senior Brother."

"You're welcome. My master is very happy that you won second place. He'll probably reward you later." You Long smiled and left.

Su Ping went to the training room inside the palace and told the Star Lord servants not to disturb him. Then, he closed the door and cultivated.

He took out the materials for the Solar Bulwark that Xingyue had found for him and opened the bottles and boxes. All kinds of scents instantly spread out.

There was the smell of blood, the heart of a bloody forest, and a refreshing fragrance. There was also a blade of grass, crimson feathers, and sharp claws.

Su Ping checked and found that they were all the materials he needed. None of the materials were just to make up the numbers.

"I owe her a big favor," Su Ping said to himself.

He activated his astral power and took out all the materials. He then activated the Solar Bulwark and unleashed furious flames all over his body, raising the temperature in the room.

However, the training room was isolated by a star formation, which was strong enough to prevent the palace from burning.

Su Ping melted the materials one by one and turned them into a golden-red liquid. Then, he slowly sucked the liquid into his mouth and it flowed into his body.

When the hot liquid entered his body, Su Ping felt that something deep inside his body had been awakened.

Following that, the blood in his body began to boil and burn incessantly, like a furnace of heaven and earth.

The burning sensation lasted for a long time. Su Ping felt that his blood was being burned dry and sticky. That strange feeling inside his body became clearer and clearer, as if the water inside his body had been drained and the blood was exposed.

Phew!

All of a sudden, Su Ping felt a tearing pain on his back. Then, a pair of scorching wings spread out. The golden wings were extremely dazzling, emitting a divine glow.

Su Ping felt as if he had just broken out of a cocoon. He suddenly opened his eyes, which seemed to be able to penetrate the training room. Golden light burst out of his eyes, and flames were burning in his eyes.

Su Ping stood up, feeling that his body was surging with power.

His cells had become more condensed, tenacious, and with a unique fire attribute.

His senses were enhanced by several times, and his fists were surrounded by overwhelming power. Su Ping took a deep breath, feeling as if he had sucked in all the air around him, before he slowly exhaled.

With a mouthful of turbid air, he vented all the pressure in his body.

Su Ping closed his eyes and calmed himself down. He then carefully sensed his body.

There was no doubt that his physical strength had been greatly improved. He was able to dominate the Star State with his physical strength alone!

It's a shame that I don't have the power of faith. Otherwise, I might be able to fight a Star Lord! Su Ping thought. He wasn't blind when it came to his strength. He had dealt with a lot of Star Lords in the cultivation sites, so his judgment was quite accurate.

It was a shame that the power of faith was beyond dimensional. His enemy could easily defeat him with the power of faith alone.

Maybe, I can try to condense a small world …

Su Ping suddenly thought of something. The idea grew stronger as soon as it popped up.

The Star Lords could control the power of faith by relying on the storage of the small world.

Otherwise, the power of faith would quickly fade away no matter how talented they were, unless they attached it to certain special treasures.

To condense a small world, I need a complete path …

My path of fire has been perfected!

Apart from a complete path, I need a tremendous amount of astral power as the foundation to build a small world.

"In addition, you also need to have a strong enough mind power to control it."

Su Ping took a deep breath. He was ready to do it. Apart from his low rank, he was not lacking in anything else.

The first path Su Ping chose was the path of fire.

As for the small world, Su Ping chose to compress it into his dantian. He melted a hundred thousand cells and turned them into a whole, using the vast space inside the cells to store the small world.

As the path of fire was established, a tremendous amount of astral power was poured into it.

Su Ping's Chaos Star Chart was running crazily to absorb the astral power in the cultivation room.

The astral power hidden in Su Ping's cells was also poured into the black hole in his dantian.

Gradually, the black hole began to glow. Su Ping had a strange feeling that he could control a unique space and everything in that space could be manipulated by him.

A long time later, the small world inside Su Ping slowly took shape.

Su Ping's astral power had been drained and his mental power had been immersed in the process. After all, to stabilize the small world, he had to pour out his mental power at all times.

I have to make an internal loop. Otherwise, the small world will just be a monster that will drain me dry. Su Ping's eyes glowed as he sped up the process.

He didn't build a complete small world right away because he didn't have enough time. He only had two days. Su Ping decided to refine a seed first.

The seed of the world.

Soon, a seed of the small world sprouted. It was small enough to form an internal loop.

Next, Su Ping could pour in more astral power to expand the seed.

"Now, I can also absorb the power of faith. However, with the space of the small world, I can't absorb much. I need more star power."

The astral power in the cultivation room is rich and my Chaos Star Chart is fast enough. But it will take me at least a month to build a small world!

Su Ping slowly opened his eyes. He heard You Long's voice outside the hall, "Little brother, it's time. Are you done resting?"

"Yes."

Su Ping finished his cultivation. He took out a new set of clothes from his storage space and went out.

"Huh?"

You Long let out a cry of surprise as soon as it saw Su Ping.

It had been less than two days and he could tell that Su Ping was different. There was something strange about Su Ping, but his astral power was weak.

"Is there something wrong with the cultivation room?" You Long asked.

Apart from the strange aura, Su Ping seemed to be in a worse state than when he went in.

Su Ping shook his head. "No, I'm just trying a cultivation method and I consumed some astral powers."

"…"

You Long didn't know what to say. The competition was right around the corner and Su Ping was still trying such a dangerous cultivation method. He had overdrawn his astral power.

"Here you are. This is an Astral Fruit. Eat half of it and it should be enough to fill up your astral power." You Long took out a purple fruit and threw it to Su Ping.

Su Ping was surprised by the fruit's aroma. Is this fruit for restoring astral power?

He didn't hesitate to take a big bite.

Su Ping felt that the flesh of the fruit melted after two bites and turned into a dragon of astral power that filled up his body. Soon, the astral power in his cells was replenished.

He ate even faster, and after a while, he had swallowed the entire fruit, even the core.

The astral power in the core was even more intense. Su Ping felt that his astral power was about to burst out of his body and his cells were full.

Since he had reached the third level of the Solar Bulwark, Su Ping's body had been strengthened and the amount of astral power his cells could hold had increased by several times. To put it simply, his astral power was several times denser than before, which was tens of thousands of times denser than the average Fate State warrior!

If I weren't building a small world, the astral power would've been enough for me to build a second Star Map, Su Ping thought.

He looked at Senior Brother You Long and couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, do you have any more of this fruit?"

You Long was quite surprised to see that Su Ping didn't hurt his body after eating the entire fruit. He didn't expect that his junior brother would be able to eat an entire ten-thousand-year Astral Origin Fruit when he was only at the Fate State. That was horrifying.

Even a Star Lord would have to fill his stomach.

"…"

"Junior brother, what kind of constitution do you have? I feel that you can eat more than Junior Brother Dias' Samsara Constitution," You Long couldn't help but ask.

Su Ping smiled awkwardly and said, "It's a blessing to be able to eat."

You Long smiled bitterly and said, "Fine, I'll give you another one. You'll be able to replenish your astral power if you use up too much in the Void Battlefield."

Su Ping's eyes glittered. He quickly accepted the fruit and said, "Thank you, senior brother!"

You Long waved his hand. His freakish junior brother was still weak at the moment; the favor he gave him now would be much more valuable than what he would give him in the future. He didn't feel bad about it and said, "It's getting late. I'll take you to the meeting place."

"Okay …"

Su Ping had barely accepted the offer when the two of them teleported away.

They soon arrived at the Supreme Temple, where the other Top 100 participants were gathered.

Su Ping turned around and found Dias, who was standing in the crowd and looking at him with a resentful look.

Dias was ranked twelfth. He could've hunted more Divine Cores, but he was unlucky enough to be harassed by three Star Lord Creepy Corpses. It took him a lot of effort to get rid of them, which wasted a lot of time. As a result, he didn't have enough time to hunt Divine Cores and was unable to make it to the Top 10.
