Chapter 1442 Forced Retreat (2)

“Rain Ancestor, this is completely unexpected. You have to blame yourself for not having enough intel. We are not to blame,” said an Ancestral supreme-ruler

The Rain Ancestor gnashed his teeth. “Let’s try one more time. I won’t stop you if it fails and you want to go.”

Everyone exchanged looks in silence. They had indeed received plenty of rewards from the Rain Ancestor; it would be inappropriate to leave just like that.

“Let me control the array. I have an incomplete Dao technique that I’d like to try,” said the Rain Ancestor.

!!
“Okay.”

There was no objection. Control was handed

over.

The Rain Ancestor looked at Su Ping thoughtfully. Never before had he felt such hatred for a supreme-ruler King. After all, most supreme-ruler Kings were just ants undeserving of his hate. He could erase them by lifting his hand.

However, the young Su Ping couldn’t be erased.

Most people’s fury came from their helplessness.

They couldn’t change what they wanted to change.

The supreme-ruler’s eyes turned darke as he gained control over the ancient array; there seemed to be vortices circulating inside them. He was ablaze with supreme flames and the Undying Universe surfaced behind his back. An ancient aura was attached to his universe.

That aura was spread out, making the other four Ancestral supreme-rulers have a strong ominous feeling

The Rain Ancestor roared, “Misfortune, descend!”

Blue flames were burning on the chaos beast materialized by the ancient array. It carried some sort of terrifying aura of misfortune. A blue pillar of light was shot out as he roared.

Su Ping instantly detected a terrifying and unusual aura. He rushed towards the Chaos Perception Dragon without hesitation.

Roar!

The Chaos Perception Dragon noticed something unusual too. Seeing that Su Ping was risking his own life to protect him, he roared and tried to push the young one away. However, Su Ping was too fast and had already struck the blue pillar of light.

Su Ping instantly felt that all his power was declining and withering. Some sort of huge hand seemed to have stabbed into his body and quickly extracted his vitality.

The power he had acquired through the contract and the merging was removed.

Bang!

Su Ping’s body melted and fell apart in the void.

However, the blue pillar of light wasn’t entirely blocked by Su Ping. It continued moving towards the Chaos Perception Dragon.

The latter roared. A crimson moon appeared in front of its eyes and struck the blue pillar. Light was splashing. One of his eyes dashed out and struck the blue pillar again. There was a boom, and the blue pillar exploded. The bloody moon was also corrupted by the blue light.

The Chaos Perception Dragon roared in pain. It suddenly hurled the bloody moon to smash the five Ancestral supreme-rulers.

The supreme-rulers were forced to retreat because of the exploding eyeball. They were astonished as they saw how the beast only had an eye left. That power was beyond their imagination, and the dragon no longer dared to recall the eyeball.

“Seems to be a secret technique from the age of chaos…” mumbled an Ancestral supreme-ruler

The Rain Ancestor breathed heavily, while looking awful. The Chaos Perception Dragon had sacrificed one of his eyeballs to block the attack, which was weakened by Su Ping. During that moment, based on the changes in the young man’s body, the dragon realized that the attack was unusual, so he didn’t use his body to block it.

Otherwise, the wound would have been graver.

“Damn you, bastard!” The Rain Ancestor was frustrated and infuriated. He had never hated a supreme-ruler King like that.

Back in the void, Su Ping’s body was condensed yet again; shock and suspicion were written all over his face. The attack just then was extremely weird, and he couldn’t sense anything; he probably wouldn’t feel any change, even if he experienced it even if he experienced it dozens of times.

Everything happened in a flash. He seemed to have regressed, and so did his senses; he was unable to feel the subtle changes when he was dying

“Can you perform another attack like the one just now?” someone asked the Rain Ancestor.

“You should have used that ultimate skill sooner,” said the charming Ancestral supreme-rulerdess.

The Rain Ancestor looked gloomy. It was an ultimate skill; of course it couldn’t be performed easily. Besides, the Chaos Perception Dragon had already found out; it would be useless, even if they tried again.

Everyone else was well aware of that.

They only said it to imply that it was time to retreat, since they couldn’t do it again.

The Rain Ancestor looked thoughtfully at Su Ping who resurrected in the distance. “Let’s retreat.”

They could understand what the Rain Ancestor was feeling, but the situation was also clear. It was better to retreat sooner, or they wouldn’t be able to bear another strange turn of events.

Whoosh!

The Rain Ancestor relinquished control over the ancient array, and another supreme-ruler quickly took over, to break the dragon’s universe open and escape.

He didn’t make any threats or bold declarations. Retreat was the sole idea at the moment, since the result was inevitable and they couldn’t kill the enemy.

m

The weaker and more ignorant a person was, the more likely they would be hotblooded and fight until they died, without realizing what was awaiting them.

The five supreme-ruler’s retreat was awfully abrupt. The Chaos Perception Dragon noticed it before Su Ping even realized what was going on. The creature roared and ran out, dismissing his universe.

After the universe was retrieved, Su Ping saw the outer world and how the dragon elder was charging in the distance.

That was the direction the five Ancestral supreme-rulers took to make their escape.

Su Ping rushed to catch up.

He saw that the five supreme-rulers rushed to another time and space where the last Ancestral supreme-ruler and the demonic ape were fighting fiercely.

“Have you taken care of it?” The last Ancestral supreme-ruler smiled when he saw them.

“Retreat!” said one of the supreme-rulers in a low voice.

The former was stunned, then felt his heart grow heavy. The situation astonished him, as they had been thorough when making arrangements. Killing those beasts shouldn’t have been a problem. Why do we have to retreat?

They didn’t come here to help me finish off this demonic ape?

It could only mean that the plan had failed and the ferocious beast was still alive.

Whoosh!

The Ancestral supreme-ruler stopped fighting and quickly left with the five other supreme-rulers. He also sensed the other beast was chasing them. He was shocked; the Chaos Perception Dragon was indeed alive. Was the creature really that terrifying? Even five Ancestral supreme-rulers weren’t enough to kill it?

The dragon stopped after the six Ancestral supreme-rulers made their retreat. He didn’t give chase to kill them, which was impossible. He was only there to defend his lackey, as they would try to kill the fellow as they made their getaway.

Su Ping, who had finally arrived, saw that the Chaos Perception Dragon stopped, then realized what the other was thinking. He looked at the departing Ancestral supreme-rulers and was slightly regretful.

He felt that he could tap into a higher power level if he could practice more with them.

However, his gains were plenty, even though the battle had already ended.

First of all, he tested the possibility of merging with all of his pets.

Secondly, he experienced the Ancestral supreme-rulers’ attacks and vaguely saw a deeper route to the Great Dao.

“Boss, are you okay?”

The demonic ape looked at the six Ancestral supreme-rulers as they left. Then, the beast turned around and looked at the great dragon with admiration. “As expected of you, Boss. Not even five Ancestral supreme-rulers could hurt you. I was thinking how I could finish off that guy and help you. He was so sordid; he never fought me head-on and he wasn’t even hurt.”

He suddenly noticed Su Ping and exclaimed, “This kid is still alive?”

The Chaos Perception Dragon glanced at the fella. “Even if you die, he won’t. I would have probably been wounded without his help.”

The demonic ape was dumbfounded. The guy looked at Su Ping in a daze, “He helped you?”

He thought that his senses were playing tricks. It would be remarkable if a supreme-ruler King didn’t hold them back as the beasts fought such a high-level battle. How could this guy possibly help?

Su Ping smiled and said to the giant dragon, “Senior, since this place has been exposed, we should probably transfer to somewhere else, that way they won’t gather more Ancestral supreme-rulers and look for trouble again.”

The Chaos Perception Dragon nodded. “Of course.”

The creature had seen Su Ping’s attempts to help, and thus willingly replied to Su Ping’s proposal. He wouldn’t have bothered in the past, as he hated others telling him what to do.

“Unfortunately, it’s impossible to take away this Divine Eye,” said the dragon wistfully as he looked at the Divine Eye in the distance. He then glanced at Su Ping. “Since you’re truly undying, I’ll take you to experience the power in the depths of the Divine Eye before we go.”
