Astral Pet Store (WN)

Father Time almost vomited blood. “You can attack? Stop saving up your strength. We won’t be able to beat that guy on our own when all the rest lose!”

Su Ping understood that logic, but he felt that the other Star State fellows had yet to use their trump cards.

After all…

So many people were watching. Unless they were certain of their victory, why would they expose all their trump cards?

They were just acting as champions anyway; they weren’t fighting for themselves.

Still, they weren’t fools, either. If only two or three people were left in the end, they would probably try their best, because they would only be one step away from winning.

Roar!

The battlefield presented shocking changes when Su Ping was about to attack; the bloody mist around the purple-robed young man was absorbed into his body, and an even more dazzling light emerged. His aura became stronger than that of any other person’s on the battlefield.

He roared and swung his chains like whips and sharp blades that could cut the land apart.

Some of the pets were instantly shattered after being hit by them, falling down right after.

“Is the advanced phase of the Star State so worthless?” the purple-robed young man bellowed. His eyes were bloodshot and brutal, but he remained absolutely calm. He charged at an old man and covered himself with the chains while he compressed some of them to form a spear.

The old man was shocked by this. He raised multiple shields and activated two defensive treasures; one of them was a wheel, and the other was a twig.

The wheel was pierced through and exploded. Its surrounding light was gone, wasted.

The twig, however, boasted an amazing power that blocked the chains, but not for long. It crumbled into pieces and turned into ash in the end.

“You!”

The old man was so regretful about the destruction of his secret treasures that his eyes became bloodshot; however, he gritted his teeth and quickly retreated, not daring to confront the young man.

“Where do you think you’re going?” The vicious young man ignored the others and blocked the old man’s escape, stabbing with the spear of chains which was ablaze and bloody.

Shocked, the old man cried quickly, “I give up!”

He had other trump cards, but he was unwilling to use them; some were very costly. He would have to sacrifice his longevity, or even exhaust his constitution, which would affect his cultivation in the future.

Whoosh!

Hardly had the old man said that when he disappeared from the small world; he was relocated by the Star Lord.

The purple-robed young man quickly paused when the spear missed its target and looked at the remaining participants; he then grabbed a section of the chains and spun them.

The chains, like mountains, forced the enemies around him to retreat. One of them was hit by the chains and instantly vomited blood; he was flung tens of thousands of meters away until he was picked by his pet.

After forcing them to retreat, the purple-robed young man hovered in the sky proudly and shouted, showing no respect for anyone, “Who’s next?!”

The rogue cultivators outside of the small world, including those in the Star State, were silent.

They were too shocked.

Was it really something that a Fate State warrior could achieve?

He had crushed someone in the advanced phase of the Star State!

The three phases of the Star State had as huge differences among each other as that between the Star State and the Fate State. The young man had gone across three levels in a row!

“He’s an example for all of us…”

Far in the distance—the forces that had entered the divine residence on spaceships saw the battle in the small world too and were shocked.

The Fate State passengers were even more excited.

Those in the Star State had been on the top of their worlds like mountains. Nobody could have defied this order!

However, the high and mighty Star State experts had been trounced by a Fate State fellow. Nobody was able to defeat him. How awesome was that?

“Ha.”

The purple-robed young man sneered as he looked at the remaining Star State opponents who were catching their breath at the moment. “Star State warriors should be able to travel the universe and survive while in the void of space. Unfortunately, you’re too weak. You’re not true Star State experts, at all!

“You will know what it really means to dominate the stars when I enter the Star State!”

The Star State champions looked awful once they heard his claims.

The rogue cultivators outside the small world were angry after such a provocation. You may be strong, but what you said is too demeaning!

“Damn it, this guy is too cocky!”

Father Time was also furious, but was unable to say anything; it was truly degrading to have been suppressed by someone who had such a low cultivation!

The most infuriating thing was that there was nothing they could say in their defense!

They were exasperated!

Father Time suddenly noticed that there was nothing but peace and even a look of appreciation on Su Ping’s face. He asked weirdly, “Why aren’t you angry?”

Su Ping was stunned by the question. He asked back, “Why should I be angry?”

“Aren’t you angry because of what he just said? That boy is too cocky. He’s offending all of the Star State warriors!”

“Oh,” Su Ping replied casually.

He despises all the Star State warriors. Is it any of my business?

Besides, I agree with what the guy said!

Shouldn’t those in the Star State travel the universe and dominate the stars?

“You…” Father Time was lost for words about Su Ping’s shamelessness. He wasn’t angry at all after being slapped in the face. Even if that young guy was strong enough to back such remarks, it was still infuriating to be insulted!

“Junior!”

A middle-aged man stepped out furiously. “You’re too arrogant! I’ll admit that you’re strong if you can resist this attack!”

“Bring it on!” the purple-robed young man chuckled and said in disdain.

Infuriated by such a response, the middle-aged man unleashed a series of violent lightning bolts. He clearly had an elemental lightning constitution, and the energy suggested that it was an advanced lightning body.

He raised his hands and concentrated all the lightning bolts on his hands.

Then, a dark red saber appeared in his palm, before it was covered by lightning, turning into a lightning saber!

Someone recognized the middle-aged man’s technique and exclaimed in shock, “The ultimate technique of the Lightning God Mountain, Lightning Wave Saber!”

Lightning God Mountain was a major force in the Federation. It was called a mountain, but it was actually bigger than a star!

Many Ascendants lived there; it was such a powerful organization that even the five best academies had to kneel before them!

The Lightning Wave Saber was a combination of the lightning class and the light class, both of which were famous for their speed. That technique was best known for how quick and brutal it was!

The purple-robed young man raised his eyebrows and became solemn, but eventually sneered and said, “Interesting. But you haven’t fully grasped this technique yet!”

In the next moment, he waved his chains and gathered them in front of himself like a web.

However, exactly at that moment, the purple-robed young man’s pupils shrunk!

After a boom, an explosion burst out.

The dazzling and scorching saber was still being gathered in front of the middle-aged man, but a golden rune flew in front of the purple-robed young man and was torn apart.

It almost seemed that the purple-robed young man had been ambushed.

However, none of the Star State experts had taken any action; it was quite a weird scene.

Moments after, someone noticed a secret treasure that looked like a water ball behind the broken rune. The water wall was shaking, revealing the dazzling saber aura inside.

The lightning inside the saber aura made the water sphere boil.

It was exactly the Lightning Wave Saber!

On the other hand, the scorching aura in the middle-aged man’s hand was already gone.

As it turned out, he had launched the real saber aura faster than anybody could see!

That was the Lightning God Mountain’s ultimate technique!

There was a loud boom, and the water ball exploded under the surging lightning bolts. However, the beads of water fell at a high speed and crashed into the shattered land down below, making resounding noises. Every drop of water was like a meteor!

However, the water sphere blockage gave the purple-robed young man enough time to react. He swung his chains and minced the saber aura that didn’t have much momentum left.

“You ruined two of my secret treasures. You deserve to die!”

The purple-robed young man narrowed his eyes and stared at the middle-aged man.

The mature warrior’s expression changed slightly, feeling frustrated; he had already used his ultimate skill, but still failed to defeat the young man.

The young man was not only strong but also a member from a super rich family. The two broken treasures from moments before were the best ones used for defense in Star State battles.

There was no telling how many more such treasures the guy had.

It wasn’t hard to imagine that the bigshots behind him had surely prepared more than those two treasures to keep him safe.

The rest of the people watching realized this too and their gestures changed. All of them heaved sighs.

It was truly a slap on their faces.

A Fate State guy had stomped the faces of all the Star State warriors, yet nobody could fight back.

“Never mind. It’s pointless to fight someone like him.”

“The golden rune seemed to contain a higher power. I’m almost sure it was created by an Ascendant State expert.”

“He’ll be absolutely unbeatable if he has other defense treasures like that. It’s unfair that such a man would compete over the Tree of Laws with us!”

Outside of the small world—all the Star Lords shook their heads and gave up on the idea of competing.

First of all, the purple-robed young man had horrifying combat ability; he was almost invincible while having all those defensive treasures!

The Star Lords could definitely suppress him, but there was no way that they could offend a guy with such a background just to get a Tree of Laws. If his master were one of the three Ascendant State experts inside the divine residence… They would probably be killed before they did anything!

“Is this what a genius should be like? He’s terrifying.”

“He’s also too arrogant. I’m so angry!”

All the Alliance of Stars’ members moaned in regret. Su Ping and Father Time had a certain advantage since they had endured for such a long time, but they would have to give away the Tree of Laws since that genius had shown up.

“What a shame!”

Shennong’s Three Punches and Hades—who had already been eliminated—also heaved sighs.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

More and more champions were relocated by the Star Lords backing them, straightaway quitting the competition.

The leader girl puffed her cheeks angrily, but she also knew it would be pointless to keep fighting.

“I would have crushed you if I had met you years ago!”

“But I can’t beat you now. It’s boring to beat someone whose level is so low.”

The leader girl was quite angry.

Once he saw the girl’s look, the deputy smiled and said, “Miss, don’t feel bad. Geniuses like him are rare, and too many of them have perished as they try to grow. Very few can reach the Ascendant State in the end. You only need to accumulate your strength and break through sooner. People like him can only aspire to be your students.”

“Well, that’s true, but I don’t want arrogant students like him!” declared the leader girl proudly.

The deputy couldn’t help but smile.

If we’re talking about arrogance, you are the real spoiled kid here, don’t you think?

“Have you finally realized the truth? Hehe. They’re all gone. Do you want to be beaten some more?”

The purple-robed young man looked at the relocated champions and knew that their leading Star Lords had yielded.

He had a strong sense of achievement after forcing the Star Lords to retreat.

It was nothing unusual for him to kill someone at his level; it couldn’t bring him any gratification.

I’ll be able to step on the heads of Star Lords when I reach the Star State! the purple-robed young man thought and looked at the last two men impatiently.

He couldn’t wait to claim the Tree of Laws and absorb its fruits, which would further strengthen him and make it even easier for him to suppress those in the advanced phase of the Star State.

“He’s too arrogant!” Father Time was fuming but didn’t dare to say anything back. Even those four words were only said telepathically to Su Ping.

After all, considering the abilities the man had shown, he was destined to radiate in the entire Federation; it wasn’t wise to mock and offend such a genius.

“Indeed, he is,” Su Ping nodded and said, “It’s our turn. The Tree of Laws will be ours if we defeat him.”

Father Time was going to say “let’s retreat.” He almost vomited blood when he heard Su Ping’s reply. He asked in shock, “What nonsense are you talking about? You think we can beat him? Didn’t you see the guy’s defensive treasures? If there’s no one else distracting his firepower, even I might not be able to endure his attacks, much less defeat him.”

“If you’re not going, I am,” said Su Ping.

The Tree of Laws was right in front of his eyes; there was no way that he would miss out on getting such an ultimate treasure.

The fruits of laws would solidify his foundation and even enable him to break into the Fate State!

Su Ping had stepped out as he spoke.

Father Time was only capable of defending, and could not offer more help.

Seeing Su Ping’s action, Father Time was instantly flabbergasted. “Damn, you’re really going?”

The leader girl was about to take Su Ping and Father Time out, when she saw Su Ping’s movement and became puzzled. Does he still want to fight?

“Huh?”

The deputy frowned too. He suddenly realized that he couldn’t see through the new member.

The Void State?

Everybody noticed Su Ping at that moment. All the Star Lords of the alliances scanned him and were left in a daze.
