Chapter 953: Three Minutes

Elder Yan made a fighting appointment for Su Ping to take place soon after.

Every challenge appointment would cost a billion astral coins, half of which would be transferred to the Star Lord being challenged.

Although it was a huge number, it wasn’t that much for a Star Lord, given that characters of such stature, masters of solar systems, were able to rake in trillions from a prosperous planet every year.

Elder Yan led Su Ping to a hall in the middle of the city.

The place was filled with people who were devoted to the simulation equipment. Su Ping and Elder Yan simply went to a VIP private room with a large equipment set up.

“Put on the helmet. Your opponent has been arranged; he’s Clowe, the hundredth on the Divine Lord Rank!” Elder Yan said.

Su Ping nodded. “Many thanks.”

He put on a helmet—which looked like a biker’s, except that it had glittering spots of light on the surface—which was in front of the equipment. Then, he entered a vivid virtual world.

“Would you like to enter the virtual battlefield?”

“Yes.”

“The current IP has an appointment. Would you like to fight the opponent you’ve made an appointment with?”

“Yes.”

“Hold on. Extracting data…”

A tremendous amount of purple and red rays of light shot from the equipment and scanned Su Ping from head to toe. Then, it displayed a thirty seconds timer.

Once the countdown was over, the earset part of the helmet flashed in red and Su Ping received another notification. “Data extracted. Please log into the battlefield.”

“Logging in.”

Right upon seeing the recent pop-up menu, Su Ping simply chose “Confirm.”

A new world was opened before his eyes after he confirmed; he was pulled into a desolate and boundless battlefield.

It was a place with forests, mountains, lakes and other environments.

The smell of plants was vivid in the air, which was also filled with all kinds of elements. That was the most normal challenge scene; a comprehensive battlefield.

Based on the information, the battlefield was simulating the surface of the White Withered Planet.

Its gravity was on level 9.8, and its astral power density was MP5. Both indexes were quite high.

Su Ping realized that the set gravity was twenty to twenty-five times that of the Blue Planet. A normal Star State cultivator would have felt heavy and sticky, as if negotiation through seawater.

However, his strength was above that of the average Star State warrior, so he easily adapted to the environment. The stats showed that there were seven deep spaces altogether in that environment.

As for the deeper spaces, they were even harder to simulate.

I can only enter the sixth space by trying my best with my current strength. The seventh space is too dangerous; I can only get there by finding an opening in the sixth space.

Su Ping slightly shook his head; he was too weak to explore the truth of the universe yet.

A countdown then appeared on the menu.

His opponent would arrive at the battlefield in thirty seconds.

Su Ping took a soft breath, suddenly realizing that he could move, but only within a small range. That seemed to have the purpose of preventing him from setting up traps.

Thirty seconds passed quickly; a virtual white-haired young man showed up several thousand meters away. He had indifferent yet beautiful silver eyes, which made him look exceptionally graceful.

Su Ping nodded his head. Even the last guy on the Divine Lord Rank looked like the main character of a novel, extraordinary and eye-catching.

While Su Ping observed Clowe, the latter had already launched an attack.

Clowe summoned his battle pets without wasting time with words; they were nine Star Lord beasts. One of them merged with him, and the other eight formed a lineup that began to cast all kinds of enhancement skills. Clowe was a lot stronger; his white hair was fluttering as he prepared to attack.

Su Ping didn’t hold back upon seeing all this; he summoned the Little Skeleton and other pets, then charged to counter the enemy.

The Little Skeleton and the Inferno Dragon merged with Su Ping, while the Dark Dragon Hound simply charged at Clowe’s pet lineup.

They were vivid representations based on Su Ping’s memories. Their abilities were the same as in real life, except that none of them could talk and they somehow looked dumb.

Rampant strength surged in his body after the dual fusion. Su Ping no longer hid his strength. Since he had recently broken through after a long time training, he also wanted to test his own limits!

Path of time!

Sword of Laws!

Heavenly Fall, the fifth move of the Divine Sword Path!

Su Ping dashed forward and performed his most powerful techniques. The sword suffused by countless laws slashed down like a lightning bolt parting the skies. But then it slowed down when it approached Clowe, as if it would have fallen into mud. Its power quickly started to fade too.

Su Ping narrowed his pupils; he immediately detected a special, invisible force field several hundred meters away from Clowe.

To be more precise, it was a special world.

That was the small world Clowe had created.

The pressure and power of a small world were ten times greater than that of a field. It reduced 90% of his attack, while the remaining 10% was easily crumbled inside the small world too.

Just as I expected, the small world’s level strongly affects the battles against Star Lords. Laws aren’t good enough!

Once he saw that, Su Ping unleashed the power of his small world. He threw himself at his opponent like a desolate stone egg. The next moment, he felt an excruciating pain, as if about to be torn apart; his small world was quaking too, as if it were falling. A lot of faith power was knocked away from his small world.

My small world isn’t powerful enough…

Su Ping grimly sensed the gap between them.

He could tell that his small world had yet to fully collapse because the paths of time and destruction were still holding it in one piece. The two supreme laws were much more supportive than laws. Just like two solid pillars, they held the small world together.

Otherwise, he would have been torn to pieces in the previous collision, like an egg hitting a rock.

Is the gap between us that wide?
