Someone applauded gently, but it couldnât have sounded clearer in the quiet void.
âAs expected of Shen Huangâs disciple.â
Five men gradually stepped out of the void. The person in the lead was a young man wearing a large, red robe with black dragon patterns. He chuckled and said, âAre you Shuai Qianhou? Iâve heard so much about you.â
âShuai Qianhou!â
The brawny young man next to him roared and then laughed. âDo you remember me?â
Shuai Qianhou raised his eyebrows and said casually, âI do. You were defeated by me.â
âLunfortunately lost to you in the competition for the top of the Divine Lord Rank, but itâs been forty thousand years since then; how many more perfect paths have you grasped?â sneered the brawny young man.
The Divine Lord Rank at that time was much more precious than it was in recent times.
The top five Star Lords had mostly grasped perfect paths!
Shuai Qianhou was the strongest of them; he had grasped two perfect paths. Nobody could shake his position as the best Star Lord of the Golden Star Zone!
Forty thousand years had passed.
He believed that Shuai Qianhou had progressed considerably, but he did too!
âPerfect paths?â
âWhat the brawny young man said stunned the members of the alliance, including Loulan Lin and the others. Everybody fixed their eyes upon Shuai Qianhou.
The young man, a mere Star Lord, had grasped perfect paths!
It was a shocking revelation for plenty of the Star Lords, as if a meteor would have just struck the planet!
While they were still trying to fully master the four supreme laws, that Star Lord from tens of thousands of years before was already aiming for more perfect paths?
âYou were left behind by me. I didnât expect you to be absolutely the same, not making any progress since then,â said Shuai Qianhou indifferently.
The brawny young manâs mood tured cold. âIâm not here to argue with you. You must have picked up a lot of tokens, and the ultimate treasure left by Shen Huang, right? He claimed that the luckiest would find it, but he only gave it to his disciples!â
Many people were shocked by his boldness; to think he would directly complain about the Celestial State expert!
However, they were there to surround and kill the Celestial expertâs disciples; it seemed that an offense was inevitable.
âIndeed. We have the ultimate treasure and the tokens.â Shuai Qianhou smiled and revealed all of the seven glittering purple tokens in his hand. He simply played with them.
âYou want them? There are only ten tokens in total on each continent. Some grains of sand are bound to be eliminated in this trial!â
Shuai Qianhou smiled and said, âThose of you who are as strong as the top ten holders of the Divine Lord Rank, I allow you to join; I will take you to the central continent for the other fifty tokens, kill competitors of other continents, so we can loot their treasures and fortunes!â
âHa, ha, haâŚâ
The brawny young man laughed. âAre you still daydreaming when death is at your door? You think you can make us fight each other with a few simple words? Weâll kill you, then weâll share your treasure and tokens. You donât get to tell us what to do!â
Shuai Qianhou narrowed his eyes. âIs that so? This is your last chance. Itâs even merciful for your sake. Youâll wish you would have seized the chance once I get tired of waiting!â
Hundreds of other people looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had no idea why Shuai Qianhou and the othersâwho were surrounded at the momentâwere that confident.
âAnd even if those people were strong, everybody was a genius. The gap among them wasnât that big.
Besides, they outnumbered their enemies. Even though the man was on the top of the Divine Lord Rank, they could still kill him!
âNonsense! This is a fair competition!â someone stood out and roared, âThereâs no back door for you, even if youâre Shen Huangâs disciples!â
âThatâs right. Letâs kill them first; they must have the secrets given by their master. Itâs probably related to the legacy,â someone instigated.
Most of the people who talked didnât think they were as strong as the top ten of the Divine Lord Rank. If anyone joined the other team, then they would be abandoned.
Therefore, in any case, they had to go and kill Shen Huangâs disciples. Then, they would redistribute their fortune.
âJunior brotherâŚâ
While Yu Jingze and the others tried to remain calm. His heart was beating fast. It had been pounding ever since the moment they saw such a huge alliance.
Shuai Qianhou might have a chance to get away, but they certainly couldnât.
âWhen Shuai Qianhou took out the tokens and declared that not only those who were as strong as the top ten of the Divine Lord Rank were qualified to join; they felt he was jabbing the temples of those desperadoes with needles, before he asked them âDid it hurt?â
It was just like trying to get killed!
âWanyan Shuangâs face was pale too. She had recognized the five men standing at the front; they were as strong as Shuai Qianhou. She didnât know the red-robed young man leading them; besides, he was disguised.
In any case, he was very likely a tough figure too, since the brawny young man was voluntarily standing behind him.
She suddenly regretted accepting Shuai Qianhouâs invitation too soon.
She looked around, and considered how she could escape when the battle broke out.
Maybeâ
Should I take the chance to stab them in the back?
But then, she soon noticed the guy standing peacefully in front of the shivering trio from the Loulan family.
It was none other than Su Ping.
That little Star State guy!
Why is he so calm?
âWanyan Shuang was shocked. She didnât see any panic on the young manâs face. Instead, he was smiling, as if delighted by Shuai Qianhouâs madness!
What is wrong with those two?
Or maybe, did they have trump cards she wasnât aware of?
âWanyan Shuang felt shocked all of a sudden, and thought of something.
The Celestial expertâs treasure!
Was the treasure giving them courage?
The more she thought about it, the more likely she believed it was so. Nobody knew what their master had left for them, but given his preparations for the legacy, it would certainly be extraordinary!
Roars were currently echoing in the sky.
More and more members of the alliance were shouting, vowing to kill Shuai Qianhou and the others to seize their tokens and treasures!
The red-robed young man leading the group chuckled and said, âLooks like youâll have to die.â
Shuai Qianhou glanced at him casually. âAnd you are?â
The red-robed guy smiled and waved his hand. âKill them!â
His short reply was his response to Shuai Qianhouâs question.
Auras burst out and filled up the sky in the next moment. All those Star Lords fused with their pets, but didnât charge directly. However, a person standing behind the red-robed young man moved forward, and then a strange force field akin to a thundercloud manifested above Su Ping and his teammates.
All the attackers released their energy and sent it to the special force field, hoping to suppress and kill Su Ping and the others with laws and energy.
All of them were geniuses from various organizations; they were scared of the ultimate treasure that Su Ping carried.
Shuai Qianhou raised his head, then flashed a smile before he said, âShatter!â
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Members of the alliance exploded in an instant; just like fireworks, they burst into blood pulps!
Sharp and chaotic power of space emerged from deeper spaces, like bloodthirsty sharks that had found a blood scent; ancient whispers were echoing. Many of the weaker people started to scream as their minds broke.
Even more people were driven mad and exploded.
As for most of the casualties, they were simply penetrated by the power of space!
The perfect path of space enabled Shuai Qianhou to tap into power from the seventh space, even though he was just a Star Lord!
Outnumbered?
It meant nothing when dealing with the path of space!
It went on, one scream after the other; it was truly bloodcurdling. Wanyan Shuangâs pupils contracted as she watched; she had seen that Shuai Qianhou had attained a perfect path of space, but she didnât know it was that powerful!
That was a sampling of how terrifying a perfect path was!
It was much more powerful than a simple mastery. The collision of laws alone was enough to crush thousands of enemies!
A hundred warriors who had surrounded them were killed by Shuai Qianhou with a single attack!
The brawny young man was staring coldly at Shuai Qianhou. He and his four partners didnât stop for a moment, as if happy to see what Shuai Qianhou was doing.
After all, those grunts were bound to be eliminated.
It mattered not whether they were killed by the latter or someone else.
âHelp!â
âHelp us! Arenât we allies?!â
Those who were struggling to hold on roared in fury and shock, seeing that their leaders remained unconcerned.
However, most people chose to stay still. Besides the red-robed leader and his partners, many others resisted Shuai Qianhouâs attack calmly; they didnât lift a hand to help their allies, either.
They were indeed part of an alliance, but that didnât mean that they would readily help each other.
âRun!â
More and more people chose to run instead of becoming cannon fodder for the alliance; it was better to hide elsewhere. Maybe they would be able to pick up something in the end.
