Astral Pet Store novel - Chapter 923

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The protective cover around the island was revealed; it turned out to be made of a lot of lozenges. Said lozenges were exactly the “sectors” the general had mentioned.

Su Ping and the others followed him to one of the sectors.

The area’s cover was opened the moment they approached, allowing them to leave smoothly.

Hardly had they left that protection when they felt the pressure of the void, as if they were in the middle of a deep sea. There was no oxygen in the void; fortunately, Su Ping and the others were able to transform astral power into the oxygen they needed. They would be even less dependent on oxygen as their cultivation rose.

Moo!

Exclamations burst out. A swarm of fast approaching void beasts shrieked excitedly when they saw Su Ping and the others.

“Die!”

The general charged at the invaders, commanding Su Ping and the others as if they were his soldiers.

Everybody followed him closely.

Soon, they were caught in a fierce battle against the void beasts.

Bang!

Su Ping gathered thirty laws and formed a sharp sword, then he slashed at one of the void beasts. Still, the sword aura was blocked by its sharp claws.

Su Ping didn’t bat an eye as he waved his sword again and paid attention to the circumstances.

All the other geniuses were fighting the void beasts ferociously. Some were rather relaxed, while others were trying their best.

Those void beasts were only as strong as advanced Star State beings, but they were extremely fast, perhaps because they were used to the environment. Su Ping and the others were slowed down; they could hardly keep up with the void beasts, even though they had clearly seen them.

Su Ping summoned the Inferno Dragon and merged with it so that he wouldn’t seem too special.

He was significantly strengthened by that move. He was unstoppable as he unleashed his power like a barbaric dragon.

It didn’t take long for the void beast before Su Ping to be cut apart.

A few more void beasts flew over. Su Ping fought them and slowly retreated to mix with the crowd; that way the geniuses at the central area who had yet to encounter enemies would have something to do.

Phew!

Su Ping increased his sword aura’s power output, raising the stakes from thirty laws all the way to eighty. It had to be noted that even though he had only grasped a hundred laws, his understanding of them had significantly deepened; some of them were even flawless.

The power of the thirty laws was as great as his full strength before he challenged the Heavenly Path Mountain!

He was many times stronger than before by using eighty laws.

Su Ping was unstoppable even in that deep space.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sword aura raged in Su Ping’s hand and frightened the void beasts; some of them chose to avoid him.

Void beasts were awfully weird and unpredictable, able to quickly disappear into the void and then appear elsewhere.

The other geniuses had been gradually hurt in the battles, except for Su Ping.

Some were unluckily, as they were being surrounded by multiple beasts. They were extraordinary, yet they failed to protect themselves well.

It’s a shame that those kids won’t stay long here. Otherwise, I could have taught them a military formation to boost their strength; it would’ve been easy to deal with such a small tide. They would have learned quickly, given their talent… The general observed them while they fought.

He seemed comforted, and more or less regretful after seeing that all of them were fighting devotedly.

Hum!

Right after Su Ping slashed a void beast apart, his head trembled as if it would have suffered some sort of shock. He was in a trance for a moment, and frightened.

It was completely unexpected; being shocked in the middle of such a chaotic battle was almost fatal!

Soon after, Su Ping vaguely saw a coffin floating in a long river.

There seemed to be countless stars in that river; its origin and destiny couldn’t be seen.

The fuzzy picture shocked and suffocated him. The black coffin in particular… it was so terrifying that it seemed as if something would reemerge at any time.

The picture was soon gone; he was back in the battlefield.

A void beast shrieked and lunged towards him. Su Ping was spooked by this, so he jumped and unleashed his full strength; his body was covered in flames, and his sword was enveloped in fire too as it cut the void beast to pieces. The fiery sword aura moved on and executed eight more void beasts nearby.

Such an astonishing attack had instantly caught the attention of the other geniuses; they shot him envious and jealous looks when they saw that it was Su Ping.

He didn’t care what the others thought; he had simply lost his self control and used his real strength.

Was that image an ancient picture etched in deep space? Who’s buried in that coffin? Why is the river etched in deep space? What kind of river would stand the erosion of time?

Su Ping was shocked; he had many questions.

In any case, it was undoubtedly related to a Celestial, if not someone even stronger.

After all, aside from the horrifying beings in the system’s cultivation sites, Green Lady had mentioned that she followed the Twilight Deity King, a former Celestial. There also were Deity Emperors who could suppress everything, and they were a tier above Deity Kings.

Su Ping had heard about Heavens and Heaven Masters in the Golden Crow world; he was still clueless as to what they could compare to in the cultivation system of the Federation.

Good thing that the battle just now wasn’t truly dangerous, or the trance would have been lethal. Was that the weird unknown danger mentioned earlier? Su Ping became vigilant, choosing to merge with the Little Skeleton instead.

The Little Skeleton was rather special, and it kept its own consciousness even while in the state of fusion.

This meant that the Little Skeleton would be able to control his body to fight enemies should he be caught in a dangerous trance.

Of course, if that came to pass, the Little Skeleton would be unable to make use of the power inside his body, as it could only control his bodily motions.

Whoosh!

Su Ping was covered in terrifying bones after merging with the Little Skeleton. He waved his sword, killing void beast after void beast.

None of those creatures were able to survive one of his attacks.

The other geniuses were shocked to see Su Ping raging among the beasts; they knew he was strong, but not to such a degree.

They had then personally fought the void beasts, which were sturdy, agile and unpredictable; even they would have to be careful when dealing with such tricky beasts. Experts such as Su Jin’er could kill them instantly, but they had to use their powerful secret techniques for that.

Such powerful secret techniques would leave them exhausted, and they couldn’t be used often. Su Ping, on the other hand, was killing almost as fast as the Star Lord general!

“That kid…”

The Star Lord general was also surprised; he knew how tricky they were after having fought them for years. He was killing them with the power of faith, yet Su Ping was crushing them with his horrifying strength.

Is this what the top geniuses of the universe are capable of?

Normal Fate State cultivators could have hardly endured thirty seconds in front of a void beast, even in a group of ten warriors. However, not even ten void beasts could even last thirty seconds in front of Su Ping!

The gap in between was so vast, it was ghastly.

In another place—the black-haired and silver-eyed young man who was hunting void beasts saw how unstoppable Su Ping was and decided to also speed up with glittering eyes. A streak of silver light dashed through his fingers and penetrated the void beasts easily..
