Chapter 1202: Su Ping’s Battle

“Let’s get this over with. Kill them as soon as possible!”

Hardly had the two giants appeared when they charged at Fang Shiliu.

There were altogether nine stars glittering inside the giants purely made of energy; the colossi came to be with a formation powered by nine Ascendants.

Bang!

A violent force surged out. One of the giants waved a fist; time was instantly reversed, and starlight began to shine. A channel was manifested in the void, with a violent force that rushed at Fang Shiliu like a dragon.

The latter’s expression changed instantly, realizing how extraordinary the giants were. They were unlike the other giants in the battlefield, which were also using the power of nine Ascendants. It could even compare to those that were being used to fight against Song Yuan!

Fang Shiliu roared abruptly and threw a punch imbued with his Ascendant power and plenty of laws, almost shattering that part of the universe.

His expression changed once again the next moment, then he punched again.

There was a noise—and his hand was cut off. The brutal saber aura had been aimed to slash his face, but its power strangely severed his hand from the side, as if there were an invisible line.

Fang Shiliu was exposed to frontal and rear attacks. He tried to tear apart the void and escape, but the two giants had clearly realized his purpose and worked together to block the deep spaces.

He looked around, and saw how other Ascendants were resisting the giants in groups of different sizes. However, those formation creatures were clearly weaker than the two he was confronting. Was it because he was Shen Huang’s disciple?

Or was it because…

“You’re here for my junior brother, aren’t you?” Fang Shiliu said coldly.

His face was cold, but his heart felt quite heavy. He didn’t expect his amazing junior brother’s charm to be such that two giants controlled by Heavenly Lords would be deployed.

“Rot in hell!”

The two giants didn’t waste time on parley. They clearly didn’t consider themselves villains, and they didn’t follow the rule that villains always talked too much; they resumed their fierce attacks.

Fang Shiliu roared and unleashed his constitution, turning illusory. That was actually the Void Mountain Constitution, one of the ten divine constitutions of the universe!

He was born with such a constitution, which accidentally got him lost when he was three years old. Fortunately, his father was the lord of a galaxy and his dominion was massive; the boy was eventually found.

His control over his constitution improved as he grew older. When he was five, he was already capable of going anywhere via teleportation; he also played hide and seek with the maids in the house.

He later found more uses for his physique; he could conceal his aura and instantly teleport to a place ten thousand kilometers away. He traveled across the planet once he reached his teens, and observed beasts and hunters fight; he escaped easily even when he was discovered.

His constitution was fully developed at that point. It wasn’t merely useful for teleportation anymore.

The innate laws related to the constitution could collapse all time and space. They created a world of their own where everything would be sealed.

Scary beasts emerged behind Fang Shiliu’s back and merged with him as the gray colored law patterns surfaced on his personal sky.

One beast after the other appeared, roaring in space. All of them had Ascendant level.

Fang Shiliu’s eyes were determined and cold. There was only one thought in his head: he had to get his junior brother to safety!

That was the mission entrusted by his master!

“Die!!” Fang Shiliu roared; the void was twisted as he raised his fist. The ninth space—a place only Celestials could access—was appearing because of his constitution.

A gray vortex appeared, swallowing everything. It then glowed with a dazzling light that covered one of the giants along with his secret techniques.

The giant dodged in a hurry. However, one of its arms was hit and obliterated because it was too big to evade. The Ascendant who had formed the arm was erased at the same time!

The clash obliterated a cultivator. That was the power of a Heavenly Lord; an instantaneous annihilation of a peer!

Energy began to leak out after the arm was gone. The giant grew a new arm; however, it was much less powerful since there wasn’t an Ascendant activating that limb.

Fang Shiliu realized that; it was a common problem when using military formations. He charged once more with brutality emanating from his gray eyes.

“You’re asking to be killed!”

1

There was a silver-haired young man looking daggers at Fang Shiliu from the giant’s chest area. His aura was as deep and scary as an abyss; he was completely different from his Ascendant cohorts. Fang Shiliu would have recognized him if he could see the guy, who was a famous Heavenly Lord of the Dark Star Zone, also apprenticed to a Celestial!

“My sword!” he roared curiously, and golden light gathered on his arm, forming a marvelous weapon. That was his Ascendant ultimate treasure, which had ancient patterns circulating.

“Fire Swallowing Sky Mincing Sword!”

Black flames burst out on the brilliant weapon; every cluster of flames was an unusual law. The sword attack swept over, cutting time and space apart. Any opponent with no attainments in those paths would have been instantly hit!

It was still extremely powerful even when facing Fang Shiliu, who had also grasped the path of time and space perfectly. It minced many layers of time and was cutting with unstoppable momentum, making it impossible for Fang Shiliu to dodge. It seemed that he would have to fight the sword head-on!

“Spiritual Shadow!”

Fang Shiliu was furious, but he didn’t lose his rationality. He activated the secret technique he had invented, making use of his constitution. It was also his trademark: an identical figure emerged and confronted the sword.

The next moment—two terrifying blasts burst out. The figure was flung back with heavy injuries, while cracks appeared on the sword, which lost its brilliance.

“It’s you, the Dark Fire King!”

Fang Shiliu instantly found out the guy’s identity. His eyes turned cold. The pair of giants were as strong as a Heavenly Lord, all thanks to the gathered power of several Ascendants. That giant in particular was being controlled by a famous Heavenly Lord, who was comparable to his first senior brother!

Their previous clash made evident how top warriors of that level could easily deal with average peers, just as easily as regular Heavenly Lords could crush Ascendants.

“Rot in hell!”

The heavily wounded figure was bitten by the other giant before it hit the ground. Then, the giant ripped the figure apart with its tusks.

The clone was almost as strong as Fang Shiliu; it could perform all his secret techniques except for that clone-making. In other words, it was another Fang Shiliu; one who was fearless, capable of performing mutually-destructive techniques!

It was one of the important skills that made Fang Shiliu a Heavenly Lord.

The latter looked quite awful at the moment. Both giants were being controlled by Heavenly Lords who could have kept him in check even without formations. They were of course much stronger when using formations and could eventually crush him.

He suppressed his fury. The fact that they had been deployed to deal with him suggested that they were scared of his junior brother!

Such a realization gave him more determination to accomplish his mission at all costs!

He raised his head and looked at the battlefield where the Celestials were fighting. However, it was blurred, so he couldn’t see things clearly; he could only see the magnificent giants every now and then.

I must ensure the safety of our future bringer of hope if anything happens! Fang Shiliu thought.

He took a deep breath and looked at one of his pets. He then made a painful decision which brought sadness to his eyes; all of it was soon replaced by determination.

His pets seemed to have realized the resolve of a friend they had accompanied for years. They all looked at him, some roaring, while others were bathed in flames of vitality.

They were ready to die for him as soon as he gave the instruction!

Fang Shiliu’s heart was in pain, but there was no time for grief or hesitation. His body was burning, and emitting light as he consumed the vitality of an Ascendant State expert.

The energy inside his body surged as if there were a major leak in a piping system. The dispersing aura alone had expanded the influence of his Void Mountain Constitution to a range of hundreds of meters.

“Those in my way shall die!!” he roared and charged toward a certain direction.

The two giants sneered and chased after him, also going all out, activating their controllers’ respective constitutions.

Those constitutions were also among the top ten divine constitutions of the universe. One of them had mutated, although it wasn’t as formidable as Liu Xia’s. Still, it was much better than the ones at the top ten.

Fang Shiliu ran forward without looking back, while his pets swooped past him like airplanes.

They would never see each other again once they flew by!

They didn’t even have the time to look at each other and say goodbye.

They simply invoked all their strength and charged relentlessly.

All of a sudden, a voice sounded in Fang Shiliu’s head. “Senior brother!”

The grieving Fang Shiliu was stunned for a moment, finding the voice familiar. The next moment, he suddenly remembered that it belonged to his beloved junior brother!

“Are you burning your vitality?” asked Su Ping.

“You…”

Fang Shiliu’s head was a mess. If memory served correctly, Su Ping was still in his world. How could the guy communicate with him without his permission?

Besides, the guy shouldn’t have been able to detect his condition.

“Just as I expected…” said Su Ping, then the miserable and raving shriek of a phoenix resounded with pride and brutality. The brilliant and bloody phoenix exploded, unleashing infinite flames that made it turn into a bird of fire, which charged at one of the giants with its remaining determination.

The soul-stirring attack wasn’t able to stop the giant. The Dark Fire King sneered and swung the giant’s arms, ripping the phoenix to pieces like putting out a fire, when the bird’s attack could have destroyed countless planets.

The other giant, on the other hand, grabbed the neck of a dragon as if it were a chicken. Then, it pierced the chest of a black ape and blood gushed out.

“Rot in hell!”

The giant coldly swung its arms, ready to tear the two pets apart. But then shock came the next moment.

It looked down at its own arms, which had been cut off from the elbows!

There were two Ascendant experts located in the elbows to power the formation; disbelief was written all over their faces while their bodies fell apart. Demons seemed to be swallowing them from within, not even leaving out their souls.

Fang Shiliu looked back in a certain direction with utmost shock.

There was a person standing quietly in the void behind him; he seemed to be walking toward the continent from the deep sea.

It was none other than Su Ping.

He was absolutely cold and emotionless at the moment. He was holding a brilliant and sharp sword with ripples around the edge, as if space were unable to bear such sharpness!

“Junior brother!”

Fang Shiliu trembled as he looked at Su Ping, who was in his small world a minute before; how was it that his junior appeared before him all of a sudden?

Did I only send my junior’s illusion into my small world?

Inside Fang Shiliu’s small world—Shuai Qianhou and Diaz felt dazed. The power invoked by Su Ping to witness the battles outside began to disperse when he left. The last they were able to see was that Su Ping had stepped out of Senior Brother Fang’s world to sever the giant’s tough-looking arms!

Is he really… our senior brother?

Was he really Su Ping, who was only a Star Lord like them?

“Senior brother, it’s not the time to burn your vitality just yet. Let’s fight together,” said Su Ping with his back against Fang Shiliu’s. He gazed at the two giants with killing intent; it had been a long time since he had felt as furious.

He had sensed how the power of his senior brother’s world was fading away moments earlier. He also saw the dangerous battles, soon realizing that a senior brother he had just met was burning his vitality to have more power!

How could he stand by and watch?

Fang Shiliu gazed at Su Ping in a trance-like state. Did his junior brother, who was barely a Star Lord, just propose that they fight together?

But he also saw the giant’s arms as they were cut off; he couldn’t have been more shocked. Was it really Su Ping who did it?

Impossible!

“What’s with this brat?”

“He almost destroyed the array with one attack!”

“Is he truly a Star Lord?”

“Anyway, the boss asked us to kill him no matter the cost…”

The Ascendant experts inside the two giants were shocked by Su Ping’s attack. It was unbelievable. A Star Lord was able to sever a military formation controlled by a Heavenly Lord. It was still shocking even when considering Su Ping’s covert attack!
