Chapter 522 - Shatter the Heavens!
Astral Pet Store
âStop!â
A legendary battle pet warrior at the Void State stood up. He pushed the air across the distance to hinder Su Ping and save the old man.
Boom~~
The surging air crushed Su Ping like a falling mountain, but that overwhelming surge of air was soon disrupted by the force surrounding Su Ping. He threw a punch at the old man with his bone-covered hand, which was as glaring as the sun.
The old man stared with eyes wide open; there was nothing left in the world for him to see.
Nothing except for the approaching golden fist!
The punch had yet to land on him, but the wind that had been stirred up was enough to blow away his soul!
No, no way!
The old man shuddered in fear. He was no longer that agitated man; only a scared man remained. He couldnât even begin to imagine how such strength could be wielded by a puny human being who wasnât even at the legendary rank.
Defense!
In that critical moment, the only thing he could think of was to save his life.
He instantly set up many defensive barriers and armors. The most noticeable of them all was a virtual image of a golden toad. It was a legendary skill that could not only withstand physical attacks, but also energy attacks and poisons.
That was the skill which allowed him to have his way even during fierce battles.
Su Pingâs hand bumped into the virtual toad. The toadâs head caved in all of a sudden, before it reached its limit and then exploded.
Boom!!
Su Pingâs hand was still pressing forward. The many other barriers and armors behind the virtual toad gave in and cracked, one by one. Some strange barriers came out when his hand was about to land on the old manâs chest, and then more virtual figures appeared to protect the old man from the strike. And yet, the virtual figures lasted for less than 0.1 seconds before they broke and Su Ping cleanly landed a punch on the old manâs chest.
The old man arched his back. His eyes popped out, making the fear and surprise in his eyes even more prominent.
I couldnât stop the punch even after using all of my defensive skills?!
He had brought out all the armors and barriers he had collected over the years. Any one of them was sturdy enough to fend the strike from a Void State being!
Bang!!
Like a balloon, the legendary-ranked old man burst open, turning into a mist of blood in the air.
The wind blew the mist away as soon as the blood mist came into being. Only scattered objects remained. Some with better sight could already see that those things were the old manâs fingers, teeth, knees, and other body parts.
That old man was punched to death even while being fully prepared!
The legendary battle pet warriors who had at first viewed Su Ping with contempt were frightened at the moment; appalled, even. Were we wrong about Su Ping or are we just having a nightmare?
Could this guy be, in fact, a legendary battle pet warrior?
Legend North King was the most startled of all. He had met Su Ping at the Supremacy League where the latter had already demonstrated his ability to defeat legendary battle pet warriors. But he didnât think much of it because that old man of the Qing Family was a loser who merely had one beast king. He wasnât nearly as good as the old man who had just passed away. It was also important to consider that Su Pingâs fight at the Supremacy League had not been as easy as at that time!
One punch!
That day, with one punch, Su Ping had finished that old legendary battle pet warrior!
Legend North King was able to tell that Su Pingâs punch was even more threatening than before.
This young man has grown up too fast, too fast!
âAh!â A titled battle pet warrior screamed because a broken hand had fallen into his arms.
Some teeth still tainted with blood fell onto the heads of another one, scaring the wits out of him.
When the old legendary battle pet warrior died, the pet he had merged with died as well. As such, the petâs body parts came down along with the rain of remains.
The two beast kings that the Dark Dragon Hound had been battling against came to a brief stop as the contract broke.
Taking that chance, the Dark Dragon Hound snapped the neck of one of the beast kings and then pounced onto the other one, finishing the latter quickly. Soon, the two beast kings were lying in a pool of blood.
The pungent smell of blood pervaded the air.
No one said anything. The legendary battle pet warriors eyed Su Ping with astonishment. They had just been angry when Su Ping killed Legend Abyssal Ocean without warning.
Angry because Su Ping had dared to harm a legendary battle pet warrior.
But at the moment, anger had given way to panic.
In a face-to-face battle, Su Ping had still been able to kill a legendary battle pet warrior within one move, and they didnât have to check to know that Su Ping had merged with his pet.
Is Su Ping not at the legendary rank!
Of course, he is!
However, the young man must have used some secret ways to fool their perception and hide his strength. That was the only plausible explanation because their perception told him that Su Ping was at the seventh rank according to their perception. It was ridiculous!
Xie Jinshui and Qin Duhuang stared at Su Ping in disbelief.
They both knew that he had defeated the Otherworld Heavenly King, but they werenât there to see with their own eyes. They didnât know that Su Pingâs strength had developed to such a state!
This was how Su Ping was able to defeat the Otherworld Heavenly King!
The silence lasted for half a minute this time. A young looking man stood up, with a gloomy expression. He was the one who had tried to stop Su Ping just then.
However, his attempt had failed. Given how fast Su Ping had killed the old man, the young man was convinced that Su Ping was at the Void State!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWho are you really? You must have been at the legendary rank for quite some time. It wouldnât have taken long for us to find out. Are you really from the Blue Planet?â the young man asked, with a wary look.
His words reminded the other legendary battle pet warriors.
Indeed.
They had never heard about this person.
It would be hard for him to stay unnoticed for long after reaching the legendary rank.
Some of them were hiding, like the old man of the Qing Family. Still, this would involve keeping activities to a minimum, including cultivation.
As a result, people like the old man from the Qing Family would have weak powers, even at the legendary rank. They would only be able to defeat those at the titled rank, and not their peers who cultivated normally.
But Su Ping was not like that old man of the Qing Family. They had not heard about him, but he had managed to stun them all.
It would be understandable if he were from another place.
That âother placeâ would mean the Interstellar Federation.
The legendary rank battle pet warriors seemed fearful upon thinking about this possibility. Legendary battle pet warriors werenât valued in the Interstellar Federation. If Su Ping originated from there, he surely had some strong connections that they couldnât mess with.
That being said, the Blue Planet also fell into the Interstellar Federationâs jurisdiction, since it was also its point of origin. They could report the wrongdoing to the Interstellar Federation and ask them to send someone to discipline him.
âWho told you that I was at the legendary rank?â
Su Ping glared at the young man. âAs for the other question, you donât deserve to know the answer! The wild beasts are running loose out there and youâre still in the mood to amuse yourselves here, instead of going to hunt them down to clean up the barren area. You ignored the pleas to save the lives of tens of millions!
âSince the Tower is not set up to protect the vulnerable, you will no longer receive money and respect from the vulnerable!â Su Ping turned to Xie Jinshui, âMayor, I will be the one protecting the Longjiang Base City from now on! Do not waste your money on these cowards!â
âYou!â
Some legendary battle pet warriorsâ faces turned crimson with anger.
However, Su Ping had killed two of them in a row; both had been done with a single move. Some of the Ocean State Warriors didnât even dare to argue, although they were livid with rage.
Some of those at the Void State were flushed with agitation.
Su Pingâs statement had cast a glint of doubt in them. It was evident that Su Ping was from the Blue Planet and he loved his base city dearly, which was why he went to the Tower to create a scene, all for the sake of that base city. His actions wouldnât have been worthwhile if he werenât from the Blue Planet.
âAre you saying that youâre not at the legendary rank?â the young one asked again, âAre you trying to say that youâre a noble one at the Star Rank?â
The other legendary battle pet warriorâs pupils contracted wildly.
Such an existence was not among them but the name alone carried an overwhelming power.
A noble at the Star Rank! The Star Rank was a step higher than the legendary rank, an incredible tier!
Those who were at the Star Rank would be esteemed even in the Interstellar Federation!
If that were the case, then killing a beast like the Otherworld Heavenly King would be a piece of cake.
âNone of your business.â Su Ping glared at him. He never did anything to conceal his strength. All those people could sense it; they just wouldnât believe it.
Su Pingâs contempt irked the young man. Furiously, he cried, âDonât you know that the Tower is heaven for the Blue Planet? You killed two legendary battle pet warriors today. I suggest you improve your attitude or youâll find death soon enough!â
âDeath?â
Su Ping sneered. âBy whom? You? If this is the heaven of the Blue Planet, then I will shatter the heaven today!â
âOutrageous!â
âYou cannot challenge the entire Tower even if you were at the Void State!â
The legendary battle pet warriors were boiling with anger. Su Pingâs remarks were like slaps right on their faces.
Su Ping wore a sarcastic grin; he felt sorry for them.
He could tell thatâwhile all those legendary battle pet warriors were accusing him and shouting madly-none of them were willing to step up. They were all waiting for others to take the lead.
Not only could the general public act cowardly. The powerful ones could be cowards as well.
Cowards!
Su Pingâs disappointment was just as strong as his anger. Legendary battle pet warriors were supposed to be the rare talents, but they turned out to be spineless people clinging to life instead of challenging death. Was this how mankindâs most powerful should be?
âIâm not interested in challenging you... and youâre not worth my while,â Su Ping mumbled. He had lost interest.
He gazed at Legend Pluto. âIâm here to ask for the herb. I heard you had the Soul Nurturer and I want that. Name your price. You can sell it to me or you can give it to me for free. Your choice.â
Legend Pluto was also at the Void State and he hailed from the Nordic region. He, too, was hopping mad because of Su Pingâs attitude. Even so, he was aware that this person was not to be underestimated. He had seen how Su Ping stopped the young legendary battle pet warrior.
As far as Legend Pluto could tell, Su Ping was also at the Void State and he wasnât sure if he could defeat the latter.
âYou want my Soul Nurturer?â
The sudden change of subject took Legend Pluto off guard. He also sensed that the other legendary battle pet warriors were turning their focus to him. âI do have it. But, Iâm not going to sell it to you, nor would I give it to you for free. Your demise is already determined. Do you honestly think you can leave the Tower after committing murder? How hilarious.â
âWhat?â
The fading killing intent rose again. âHave you thought it through?â He glared at Legend Pluto.
âWhat? Do you want to fight me?â Legend Pluto raised his eyebrows. He wasnât sure if he could crush Su Ping, but he wasnât afraid of him. Besides, his peers were there. Once he injured Su Ping, the others would spring up and join in. âSince you are not giving it to me... then you donât need to stay alive!â
Su Ping enunciated each word. The still Force Field suddenly began to spin and a glint of violence rose from his eyes. Boom!
A stream of energy burst out from Su Ping, creating a turbulence.
In the next second, Su Ping strode toward Legend Pluto who was still seated.
Legend Pluto was taken aback by Su Pingâs sudden move.
Frightened by his resolve, Legend Pluto didnât hesitate to summon his battle pet. Nine swirls opened up at the same time; nine beast kings emerged. Three of the beast kings had already reached the Void State!
There was a beast king that looked like a mass of tumbling black fog, without a tangible body. The beast king murmured and then seeped into Legend Pluto, âMaster...â Soon, two beams of darkness oozed out from Legend Plutoâs eyes. There was something wickedly strange about him and his skin became so pale that he looked like a dead man. Behind him was his Force Field which displayed an ocean of blood; many corpses floated in the ocean of blood, which produced a horrifying view. âSpace of Slaughter!â Legend Pluto shouted. His voice sounded different; it seemed that there was another voice layered behind his voice. Darkness had swallowed all the light around them, seemingly about to eat Su Ping up.
âI will show you the authentic world of the dead!â
Legend Pluto wore a cold look. The ocean of blood was tumbling, emitting a foul smell that began to spread across the dark area.
