Astral Pet Store Novel - Chapter 931
Chapter 931: The Darkest Hour
“Since I can’t push your field away, I’ll just eat it!”
Diaz suddenly exerted his strength, unleashing a powerful attraction force that was going to swallow the darkness around him. However, he found that the edge of his field was also being corroded by darkness when he tried.
He was quite shocked when this happened.
His opponent was swallowing his field too, at a high speed!
“Unforgivable!” Diaz roared abruptly. My constitution never fails! Cracks instantly appeared on his forehead, and black stripes were spread from his forehead to the rest of his face, neck and body.
The air of destruction leaked out of the black cracks.
“Ten Square Reincarnations!”
Diaz went on a rampage. Ten black vortices appeared behind his back like glittering black moons. A special power of reincarnation emerged and spread in the darkness outside of his field. He then abruptly stepped into the depths of Su Ping’s field, trying to tear it apart.
The darkness was indeed being cut apart. Diaz was soon able to see Su Ping in the middle of the darkness.
The latter had an odd appearance at the moment; he was continuously emitting streaks of black mist, which constructed the field around him. He was also covered in bones, like a devil hiding in the smoke.
“Found you!”
Diaz put on a hideous smile and approached Su Ping with his spear glowing brilliantly.
Su Ping raised his fist, mixed with blackness and golden light, to smash the spear with it. The counterforce pushed both of them back.
Diaz roared and launched hundreds of spear auras, each of which could have easily shattered a mountain; they completely shrouded Su Ping at the moment.
The latter indifferently drew a sword from the darkness. He raised his hand, and the spear auras collided with the sword.
The sword collapsed, only to be replaced by a new sword of laws.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Their battle was utterly intense and splendid, unlike the quick clash between Dragon Shepard and Six Lives Buddha, especially when the two fields separated the battle grounds.
“What kind of constitution is this? It’s as strong as the Reincarnation Divine Constitution!”
“It’s said that only similar-level divine constitutions can go head to head!”
“It’s not as strong, but it’s even better, or maybe the understanding and development of his constitution is better; even so, his constitution can’t be of a lower level!”
“An extraordinary but unrecorded constitution? There truly are a lot of monsters this year.”
The geniuses were so dazzled by the intense battle that they could hardly see the two fighters in action with clarity.
Luo Ying, Six Lives Buddha and a few others, however, remained calm. They thought that those two had yet to try their best.
Otherwise, they would have been too weak.
Boom!
The fierce battle came to a pause. Diaz breathed heavily, but his eyes became increasingly brighter. The longer he fought, the stronger he would become thanks to his reincarnation constitution; he could never be exhausted in a battle!
“I learned this spear technique from an ancient book; I’m not strong enough to freely perform it yet. It would exhaust all my strength in one go!”
Diaz gazed at Su Ping and added, “Let’s see if you can endure it.”
“Better not try too hard,” said Su Ping indifferently.
Diaz sneered. The Six Paths of the External Phase next to him suddenly turned into liquid and covered the tip of his spear. Then, dazzling black light radiated from the cracks all over his body; violent astral power surged from his body, which gathered on the spear.
“God Killing Spear… Die!” Diaz roared and charged at Su Ping.
A golden spear aura burst out like a lightning bolt, which penetrated the void even faster than light; its shade was still lingering in the void, but its attack had already reached Su Ping’s face.
An indescribable surge of pressure was produced by the shocking spear on top of Su Ping’s head.
It felt like a huge mountain collapsing before him.
The whole world seemed to be falling apart.
Su Ping had goosebumps all over his body. In the next moment, a bone saber appeared in his hand; then, his laws were spread out on the saber like threads and covered it up.
Slash!
Su Ping launched an attack of his own.
Bang!!
Both of their fields trembled violently, becoming unsteady.
Su Ping moved dozens of meters back; his wrist was slightly numb. Fortunately, the bone saber was sturdy enough; a weapon solely condensed with laws would have been shattered immediately.
On the other side—Diaz breathed heavily and seemed eager to fight. “You blocked it, just as I expected. However, can you block it a hundred times, or a thousand times?”
He was fully restored while he spoke, then he waved his spear again.
The spear’s aura raged on.
Then, the spear attacked again.
Three times, four times…
The horrifying sword auras instantly responded.
All the observers were shocked, seeing that such powerful attacks could be performed non-stop. Didn’t the man mention that it would exhaust his strength?
“It’s reincarnation. He’s renewing his strength!”
“Oh my god, we have another cheater in our midst; he practically has infinite energy. He can freely use the moves that others have to try their best to perform!”
All of them were great geniuses, and were quick to figure out Diaz’s ability; all of them were amazed.
The first cheater was already unbelievable, but then another showed up. Do all the top geniuses have such extraordinary abilities?
“That’s the Reincarnation Divine Constitution for you. As expected of one of the best constitutions of the universe!”
“He only needs to figure out what the strongest attack he can perform is, and he can used endlessly like a basic skill!”
Inside the palace of the Celestial State experts—
“What’s that?”
“That bone is giving me an odd feeling.”
Unlike the others, they were all staring at Su Ping’s bone saber. Shen Huang’s eyes were slightly narrowed, since he realized the bone’s extraordinary nature; Su Ping was too weak to notice it.
However, it was as eye-catching as a firefly to them!
“It looks like the bone of a Celestial State expert!”
“Where did he find such a thing? Why is he fighting with that bone?” someone remarked in a strange voice.
On the battlefield—the sword auras surged again. Su Ping’s expression changed ever so slightly; he had to admit that Diaz’ ability was quite extraordinary, being able to perform such fatal moves without stopping.
Unfortunately, it’s quality, not quantity, that matters most for an ultimate technique!
Su Ping’s eyes became cold. He didn’t let the guy continue; it would be pointless to fight a protracted battle with someone who could infinitely renew himself.
Bang!
Su Ping waved his saber and gathered a hundred laws; he knocked all the spear auras with the astral power in his body.
Su Ping pushed closer to Diaz after crushing a couple of spear auras.
Diaz continued the attack in surprise. He had launched the attacks with his constitution, yet Su Ping resisted all of them with his own strength?
Didn’t that mean that Su Ping had several times more energy than he did?
Or, was he using a smarter trick?
In any case, Diaz felt he was being humiliated.
I’ve fused the power of the Six Paths of the External Phase, yet I can’t break his saber. Damn it. Does it really deserve to be called a saber? Diaz fought and retreated; it was one of his tactics.
To fight relentlessly wasn’t the only strategy; he needed to adopt other strategies.
“Is waging wars of attrition the only thing you’re capable of?” asked Su Ping as Diaz retreated and attacked continuously.
“Just give up if you can’t withstand it!” said Diaz coldly.
“I simply don’t want to waste my time,” said Su Ping casually, “So, your way to win is to try your best countless times in order to overcome all difficulties… That’s so pathetic. Is that how you should use the Reincarnation Divine Constitution? Or are you too dependent on it?”
“Pathetic?”
Diaz trembled, as Su Ping’s words had stung them like sharp needles.
He had easily defeated weaker opponents when he used his secret techniques and abilities.
However, when he met those who were as strong as him, he would have to burst out his strength again and again to wear them out!
He found great enjoyment in the process.
The others would only be able to throw their best punch once, while he could do it infinitely!
Still, Su Ping was claiming that such a way of fighting was pathetic?
“Bulls*it!”
He gritted his teeth and said, “You’re forcing me to do this… I didn’t want to use this move because it would kill you, but you’re giving me no choice. Master will forgive me if he sees what happened!”
He stopped waving his spear and retreating.
Su Ping shook his head. “You talk too much.”
He wasn’t an idiot. Why wait for his opponent to launch an attack?
It would be better to take action whenever possible.
Besides, since Diaz had put it like that, taking the initiative would be advisable, whether or not the other meant it.
Phew!
All of a sudden, a dark ink-like aura emerged from Su Ping’s body.
“Let’s go at it then, since you’re that eager to compare constitutions.”
Su Ping launched his attack while he spoke. It was the first time he had used the Sorcerer’s Divine Constitution that the Golden Crow elder had helped awaken!
It was the most ancient and primitive constitution of the darkness class.
“Behold your darkest hour!”
Boom!
Diaz was about to launch his ultimate secret technique, when everything in front of him faded away and darkness filled his eyes.
Has my field been invaded?
Or where my eyes blocked?
Diaz had no time to think; he was shocked for a moment. Then, his mind was paralized.
This was because his mind had indeed been invaded.
The darkest hour attack had deprived him of all his senses, consciousness and soul!
It meant that his mind had also fallen into the darkness.
No!!
Diaz could feel nothing but darkness in the deepest part of his soul. He couldn’t even feel his own body; he wandered in the void like a ghost.
In the next moment, his darkness-infused consciousness struggled and found his memories. He managed to remember his identity and abilities.
He activated all his strength out of fear, returning to the field of his Reincarnation Divine Constitution.
Soon, the darkness enveloping his mind was lifted, and he regained control of his body; once again, he was able to see the light. However, a cold voice spoke right next to his years, “You’ve lost.”
The darkness faded away; Diaz saw Su Ping standing in front of him with the bone saber stuck to his neck.
Su Ping could have cut off his head and even his body if he wished to do so.
Even if he could renew himself, it was impossible for him to be reborn if his body was completely shattered; not yet at least.
“I…”
Diaz was stupefied.
What happened? I… lost?
Diaz opened his mouth, trying to turn the tide. “No, that’s impossible! I haven’t tried my best yet…” However, the Ascendant State referee was already there, looking at Su Ping in a weird manner. He then said to Diaz, “You have lost. The victor of this battle is Su Ping from the Golden Star Zone!”
The battle came to an end after the announcement.
Diaz was stunned.
He had truly lost.
He had been suffocated before he could launch his ultimate move.
What happened at the last moment?
Diaz felt a mix of frustration and dumbfoundment. He had thought about the possibility of failure, but he never thought that he would fail in such a humiliating way.
He had yet to show his strongest abilities.
Everybody else was also surprised by the announcement.
They felt as if a drama would have been interrupted before it reached the climax.
Was that an instant kill?
What exactly happened at the last moment?
They had only seen Su Ping’s field swallow his opponent’s reincarnation field. Then, they saw Su Ping’s saber sticking to Diaz’s neck when the darkness faded away.
“That field…”
Luo Ying’s eyes glittered. It wasn’t hard to infer that Su Ping’s field was even more powerful than the reincarnation field.
Does he have a never seen constitution in this universe? One that is better than the nine divine constitutions?
Six Lives Buddha on the other hand—the winner of the previous battle—remained peaceful, although he was slightly curious.
In the palace—a female Celestial State expert sighed and shook her head. “Your disciple depends too much on his Reincarnation Divine Constitution. What a shame; I thought he had mastered the path of time and space.”
Another Celestial State expert shook his head, obviously disappointed at Diaz’s performance. “It is much easier for a person with the Reincarnation Divine Constitution to master the path of time and space, yet he hasn’t grasped it. He must have been too focused on the constitution itself.”
