Astral Pet Store (WN)

“Hmm!”

The crimson eyed young man who was actually the Fate State beast king gazed toward the place where Su Ping and Li Yuanfeng were running to. The space around the beast king began to twist until it was submerged into the air.

“Hurry!”

Su Ping and Li Yuanfeng were still trying their best to get away.

More and more beast kings came out from the forks in the road as they pressed forward. Those beast kings were acting under certain orders, which were to stop the two humans. Even some beast kings that were sleeping had come out for that mission.

“Get out of my way!!”

Li Yuanfeng felt anxious.

When compared to those beast kings, the one at the Fate State was the real terror. Since he was at the Void State, he could easily defeat the Ocean State beast kings. Following that logic, that Fate State beast king could easily defeat and even crush him!

Li Yuanfeng unleashed an even greater strength. A dark mark appeared in the air; it was a sign space being torn open.

Li Yuanfeng and Su Ping made their way forward, dodging the beast kings’ strikes.

Some of the beast kings were using spiritual strikes and some used elements to attack them. They also noticed that some beast kings were able to use special Force Fields.

Li Yuanfeng was experienced in fights; he knew many skills and possessed a lot of treasured artifacts. Those spiritual strikes were ineffective to him and his agility ensured he could avoid many strikes in time.

Su Ping was also experienced. Even though he had not stayed in the Deep Caves for eight hundred years, he had fought intensely in the cultivation sites. He had tasted death many times over, possibly gaining more experience than Li Yuanfeng! After all, Li Yuanfeng had not spent every minute battling during those years. There was also the fact that some battles had been less dangerous.

Bang!

Su Ping ran right through a beast king. There were bolts of lightning glistening by the edge of the wound.

Su Ping had been using the elementary rules of thunder.

He felt that he might be able to attain the force of thunder with the force of space if he could deepen his understanding of the rules of thunder. Imagine that. Adding thunder to the nothingness of the void, it would generate a blasting effect!

Boom!!

A beast king was overturned by Li Yuanfeng.

Su Ping and Li Yuanfeng were able to free themselves from the strikes at the same time. Suddenly, they felt a tremor, which made their hearts skip a beat.

It appeared that it had originated from the void.

The tremor sounded like something’s heartbeat!

The next second, a twisted swirl appeared in front of them. Following that, a young man with four crimson eyes on his forehead stepped out.

“That… beast!”

Li Yuanfeng recognized the beast at once. He thought of something. “You’re the Thousand-eyed Demon Beast!”

“Beast? I think that you, little humans, use the term ‘beast’ for the lesser beings. You know, it is a damning thing to use that term on me!”

The crimson eyed young man grinned at Li Yuanfeng.

“Space Folding!” Su Ping looked worried. He had recognized the young man’s skill the moment he appeared. It was related to space, which was an ability that all the Fate State creatures mastered!

Space Folding, as the name entailed, gave them the ability to fold space. Creatures that used this ability were able to get anywhere they wanted; it was even more powerful than teleportation! You could go directly from the North Pole to the South Pole of the Blue Planet with Space Folding. Teleportation would require ten thousand uses to cover a similar distance! Space Folding could exert great influence in battle as well.

Teleportation would enable anyone to get to any random spot and surprise the target!

With Space Folding, you’d be able to take any given piece of space and fold it. Those at the Void State would be unable to break free from that piece of space; they would forever be trapped in that corner, much like a bug in a bottle. No amount of struggle would help!

Void State creatures were able to appear without a trace with teleportation, which could enable them to easily kill Ocean State creatures easily!

But all of that meant nothing when compared to what the Fate State creatures could do!

“Brother Su!”

Li Yuanfeng stood with his back to Su Ping.

Su Ping looked at him. He was in a daze.

That look… Suddenly, Su Ping felt he was once again in the Longjiang Base City when the Inferno Dragon stood in front of him!

Li Yuanfeng was just as determined as the Inferno Dragon back then!

“You have a more promising future than I do!” Li Yuanfeng’s voice was low but he was serious. “I’ll stop him, and you… you will live on for my sake. You must get out of here alive!”

“I am not leaving!” Su Ping refused.

The Inferno Dragon had risked its life to protect him. He would not stand in the back!

“Don’t be impulsive!”

Li Yuanfeng didn’t expect for Su Ping to get so rash at that time. Su Ping certainly sounded full of courage and righteousness, but he wasn’t looking at the big picture!

Li Yuanfeng preferred to be the one dying than allow Su Ping to fight to the death!

It was all because he had seen hope and a bright future in Su Ping!

He was the hope for all humankind!

Su Ping was at the intermediate position of the titled rank, but he already had strength on par to the Void State. If even he was unable to save the Deep Caves and the Blue Planet when he developed further, then who could?!

He determined that Su Ping could not die, not there, not that day.

He didn’t know what he could do but he would not allow that!!

“If you don’t go, I will only die with an everlasting regret!” Li Yuanfeng snarled. It was against his wishes to see Su Ping give in to his emotions. He wanted for Su Ping to treat him as a disposable stepping stone. He wanted Su Ping to get out!

The faster, the better!

He couldn’t give in to his emotions! Su Ping remained silent. He stepped in front of Li Yuanfeng and said, “You won’t die with everlasting regret because you will not die. I asked you to come to show me the way, not to sacrifice your life!”

“You…”

Li Yuanfeng could no longer see the crimson eyed young man because Su Ping was standing in front of him. Li Yuanfeng bellowed in a fit of rage, “Get out of here! I am ordering you as a legendary battle pet warrior. Go away!”

“I haven’t beaten something at the Fate State yet but I’m almost sure that I can get out alive. Go ahead and get inside.”

Su Ping opened the scroll with his back toward Li Yuanfeng.

Li Yuanfeng could simply not believe what Su Ping was doing. “Are you kidding me? You are just at the titled rank and this one here is at the Fate State. Do you even know what it means? He can kill the both of us with a mere thought!”

“If that’s the case, you standing here won’t make a difference. Why don’t you listen to me and see what happens?” Su Ping stated calmly.

Li Yuanfeng laughed out of anger.

Of course, he knew he couldn’t stop anything.

But he had treasured artifacts, skills!

He could burn his life and he could use taboo skills to buy some time for Su Ping to get away!

What did Su Ping have?

When Li Yuanfeng was about to talk some more sense into him, Su Ping had answered with his actions. Dark mist rose from him. The Ashura King’s energy and the Divine Energy flowing in his veins were surging out. Something unspeakable was instantly spreading all over Su Ping.

He was becoming even more powerful than those at the Void State!

Amid the dark mist were some rays of golden light.

Li Yuanfeng’s jaw dropped.

Su Ping carried that overbearing momentum and Li Yuanfeng felt Su Ping was even more powerful than he was!

Is Su Ping really… at the titled rank?

Li Yuanfeng’s eyes reddened. Su Ping was a rare talent; he would feel sorrier about Su Ping’s death than his own!

Li Yuanfeng regretted not stopping Su Ping in the first place!

He should have tried his best to stop him from entering the Corridor!

“Get inside!” Su Ping shouted.

Li Yuanfeng bit his teeth. He eventually said nothing as he went into the scroll.

He wanted to stay and fight alongside him. However, Su Ping was determined. He had to choose to believe in him.
