Chapter 1229 - The Snake King’s Battle



Chapter 1229: The Snake King’s Battle

“They’re still chasing me. What a bunch of obnoxious guys!”

Lian Qi sensed the intruders behind his back too. He turned around sullenly, with coldness in his eyes.

Ji Xueqing and all the others turned to look, only to see five men stepping out of the void with powerful auras. The two parties recognized each other the moment their faces were revealed.

“Song Yuan, the God of War in the Deep Spaces!”

“Ji Xueqing, the Queen of Destruction!”

“Chunyu, the Saber King of the Universe!”

The group of five showed stern expressions when they saw Song Yuan and the others, not expecting the Celestial Court’s reinforcements to arrive as quickly.?No wonder Lian Qi went to the edge of the Mayhem Star Zone instead of his nest at the center.

“They’re from the Doom Star Zone…”

Coldness glittered in Song Yuan’s eyes. His power was spread out to form a domain and block the enemies.

“Die!”

Song Yuan attacked straight off. Chunyu, Han Ye and the others unleashed their strength too; the void was filled with Ascendant State power. It was clear that the guys from the Doom Star Zone had been chasing Lian Qi, which made them enemies.

“Let’s retreat!”

The vicious five wore grim expressions, as they were outnumbered by their enemies; escaping was the better choice.

One of them noticed Su Ping, who really stood out in the crowd—

It wasn’t because his aura was too powerful, but because he was like an opening on a ring, being the only Star Lord among Ascendants.

“Isn’t he the wanted genius? Why is he here?”

“He’s just a Star Lord. How gutsy of him to show up. Is it because Celestials can’t enter this place?”

“If we kill him…”

All five of them were Heavenly Lords, and were instantly reminded of the juicy bounty when they saw him. One of them shot a beam of crimson light that contained unusual laws while he was retreating; it would invade Su Ping’s mind the moment he saw it.

“Watch out!” Song Yuan roared and punched, launching a golden fist aura that tore the crimson light to pieces. He hurriedly looked at Su Ping; he had indeed neutralized the attack, but some laws were faster than light, especially those which worked on souls. Billions of creatures could be killed in an instant.

Su Ping dashed over and said to Song Yuan, “I’m fine, senior brother. Don’t let them get away.”

The latter was surprised, seeing that Su Ping wasn’t the least affected, and was even charging at the five Heavenly Lords.

He knew that Su Ping was as strong as a Heavenly Lord. However, the previous attacker had been really sneaky; he could have also been hit unaware.

“Huh? It didn’t work?”

The retreating Heavenly Lord was stunned for a moment when he saw Su Ping dashed toward him. He thought that his previous strike would be enough to kill the brat and claim the bounty, but the brat got out of it unscathed.

How is it possible?

He even suspected that he had attacked the wrong target.

The guy’s a mere Star Lord… Does he have an ultimate treasure to protect his soul?

That was the attacker’s best guess. He became grim, knowing it would be difficult to kill Su Ping; escaping would probably be impossible if he kept on fighting, so he immediately left Su Ping alone.

“Just ignore the brat; they say he’s as strong as a Heavenly Lord. Let’s retreat!” said a tall and handsome young man.

The five foes instantly worked together to break Song Yuan’s domain and escape.

Even though they were not as strong as Song Yuan, he could hardly stall them if they were determined to run away.

“The path of destruction!”

Ji Xueqing moved as elegantly as a deity in the void. She swung her hand, launching attacks shaped as crescent moons which collapsed the channel made by the enemy.

“Die!”

Chunyu suddenly drew his saber, which echoed loudly in space. The sound went directly to the soul, and it also had the power to eliminate them!

A dazzling aura surged out like a furious dragon, creating a long river in the void that shattered all laws in its way, turning them into specks of energy.

“Dusk!”

One of the five Heavenly Lords raised a hand and pointed with his finger. The void became dark and a channel appeared in front of the saber, which connected to an unknown space. The brutal attack was transferred elsewhere.

Vision and the other senses were blocked by a darkness that couldn’t be torn apart by laws. Su Ping, however, saw the five men who were trying to escape. He summoned the Purple Python without hesitation.

The most powerful aura rose like a dragon soaring from the abyss. A creature ten thousand of meters long crawled out of the void and coiled its body, covering that region of space.

There seemed to be an independent world at the center of the coiled body!

That was one of the Purple Python’s bloodline abilities, Worldly Coiling!

Once bundled in a coil, laws would be isolated from the rest of the universe. The five enemies were caged.

“What the heck is this?!”

The five from the evil faction were appalled to see that mountainous snake, just like encountering a primordial beast; hairs stood up and bodies shivered.

“Is this a pet?”

“Is it Junior Brother Su’s pet?”

Song Yuan and the others were all taken aback by the Purple Python, which appeared out of nowhere. They could sense a terrifying and life-threatening aura from the pet.

“Die!”

Su Ping gave the order.

The Purple Python instantly tied up the enclosed space where the five enemies had been caged. They couldn’t feel the outside world nor the laws beyond the snake’s body. Underneath them was the thick snake’s tail, while above them was a bloody and threatening mouth.

“Damn it, what kind of pet is this? Is it a Celestial creature?” One of the Heavenly Lords was shocked and infuriated.

“Cut the crap. Let’s get the hell out of here!”

All of them felt that their lives were at risk. They chose to go all out, bringing out all their pets.

Their brutal Ascendant pets charged out of the void. An ancient phoenix—which was the first to rush out—was bitten by the snake the moment it revealed its aura. The Purple Python activated its second ability, Heavenly Bite!

A terrifying force pulled the ancient phoenix over; the latter screamed miserably and struggled hard. However, its feathers fell and the creature’s glow faded; all its flesh was withering too. It was sucked into the Purple Python’s stomach.

The creature soon turned from thousands of meters long to hundreds of meters, and was eventually swallowed by the Purple Python.

An Ascendant pet died, just like that!

The phoenix’s owner shouted with fury, eyeballs almost popping out. The other pets were already launching their attacks towards the Purple Python.

However, the space narrowed even more after the Purple Python hissed furiously. The five Heavenly Lords within could hardly breathe, even if there was enough space to accommodate them; the enormous pressure was almost squeezing them!

“The thing is still alive?”

The five Heavenly Lords were shocked. The snake was indeed terrifying.?It didn’t die, nor was it even wounded, after enduring that many attacks?

“Had enough fun? Eat them all,” said Su Ping.

Once the command was given, the Purple Python quickly slithered and one of the Heavenly Lords vomited blood. The light of laws covering his skin was shattered; he couldn’t gather laws in that tightly enclosed region, because the laws had given in to the pressure and broke to pieces. The laws he had perceived were no longer useful.

“Ahhhhhhh…!”

“Break… Break out of this place!”

The five Heavenly Lords roared furiously and unleashed their light. Their pets also attacked the Purple Python from the outside. However, their claws and teeth couldn’t hurt the snake; the beast was like an indestructible iron cube.

The gap of strength couldn’t have been better manifested. Song Yuan and the others were baffled and feeling chills; Su Ping’s terrifying combat ability was beyond their imagination.

He could easily crush Heavenly Lords with one of his pets!

“Come on! Don’t let them run away!” Song Yuan quickly ordered the others to help.

“Damn it!”

One of the five Heavenly Lords had already exploded. They couldn’t withstand the restrictive force, even though they had activated their Ascendant bodies. They became desperate as Song Yuan and the others moved closer. Never did those unrestrained powerhouses ever think they would die as easily in such a place.

Unwilling to give up—one of them roared furiously and split his body, using a strange ancient technique which allowed him to escape into the void. He didn’t even have time to care about his pets.

Another one separated his soul from his body and darted toward the distance while protected by an ultimate treasure.

The body of one of the Heavenly Lords collapsed, but then he reappeared with one of his pets outside. He quickly escaped into the void while the others were still stunned, leaving his pets to block any chasers.

In the blink of an eye, the three surviving Heavenly Lords escaped using their ultimate techniques.

The other two were soon squeezed into oblivion; their souls were shattered along with their bodies. It was impossible for them to resurrect.

Their Ascendant pets were dazed for a moment as their contracts were invalidated—

Still, they were quick on the uptake, fleeing in panic after their initial shock.

“Don’t let them get away!” Song Yuan roared and chased another Heavenly Lord.

Chunyu and Han Ye chased the Heavenly Lord who had transferred his body to his pet.

“Junior brother!”

Ji Xueqing was going to chase them too, only to find that Su Ping had vanished into the void, pursuing the Heavenly Lord who had escaped as a soul. She called out to him and followed, fearing that he would be caught in a dangerous situation.

After all, a Heavenly Lord’s dying strike was truly terrifying; they could drag their enemies to die along with them.

You Long and the others—seeing that Ji Xueqing was chasing after Su Ping—stopped following and suppressed the rest of the Heavenly Lord’s pets.

Ji Xueqing dashed forward in the deep spaces at full speed. She kept blasting through spaces with the path of destruction, and jumped across spaces at an unimaginable speed.

She reached the depths of the seventh universe in the blink of an eye.

Still, no sign of Su Ping. Not a single trace.

Her shock had not abated.?This junior brother of mine is too crazy; has he entered the eighth space?

That was a place that even the top Heavenly Lords were scared of. Only Celestials could travel freely there.

However, remembering Su Ping’s safety, she determinedly broke the void with the path of destruction and entered the eighth space.

She quickly detected Su Ping’s aura, along with the aura of the fleeing Heavenly Lord in the eighth space.

She tracked down the auras, soon finding Su Ping who had stopped in the middle of nowhere.

“Great!”

Ji Xueqing was delighted and relieved. She approached Su Ping quickly. “You were too bold. You shouldn’t have chased a Heavenly Lord alone. Being already cornered, he could have chosen to die and take you with him. He might have even attracted something strange lurking in the eighth space…”

She couldn’t help but look around while she talked, as she was rather scared.

Su Ping heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you for your concern, senior sister. I’m fine now. Let’s head back.”

“All right, it’s fine even if you lost track of him. We’ll meet him again; don’t chase a desperate enemy.” Ji Xueqing nodded.

Seeing that she misunderstood, Su Ping explained, “I didn’t lose track of him; I’ve already taken care of him.” He opened a hand, revealing a long, black colored shuttle, which was the vessel that took the Heavenly Lord’s soul away.

“…?”

Ji Xueqing felt her head burst.

It wasn’t until a few seconds later that she finally stopped gazing at the black shuttle and raised her eyes. “You took care of him?”

“Yes.” Su Ping nodded.?Why else would I come to this distant place?

“Y-You…” Ji Xueqing didn’t know how to conduct herself, and couldn’t help but ask, “How did you take care of him? In here? This is the eighth space, isn’t it?”

“Well, I caught him unaware.” Su Ping nodded and looked around. “Senior sister, let’s go back, or at least leave this space first; I fear we’ll attract strange creatures if we stay for too long.”

Ji Xueqing quickly nodded and then left the eighth space with Su Ping, later traversing the seventh space.

Ji Xueqing seemed to have calmed down as they traveled, but she was still extremely curious. “Can you tell me more about it?”

“I simply followed him into the eighth space. I popped up and struck when he thought he was safe, which killed him in the end,” said Su Ping.

“…”

Ji Xueqing was lost for words.

Just like that?

Just like that? Just like that?

She didn’t know whether Su Ping was poor at describing, or she was just too unimaginative.

Is it that easy to kill a Heavenly Lord?

Not to mention that the Heavenly Lord was desperate!

Su Ping and Ji Xueqing soon rejoined the others. You Long and the rest had already cleared the battlefield along with the Purple Python.

Su Ping’s gigantic snake was coiled in the void with a slightly protruding belly. Even though it was quiet, the aura it constantly released was terrifying his seniors.
