“Lin Xiu?”
“It’s him?”
“Did he defeat Claudia?”
Many were surprised upon recognizing the handsome young man. He was an old Star Lord who had cultivated for 100,000 years, aweing countless people as he progressed; he left a deeper impression on many Star Lords than some Ascendants had.
Besides, Lin Xiu didn’t just hide himself in the past 100,000 years.
There were a lot of Star Lords who were of similar age, but most were mediocre; they couldn’t make it to the Divine Lord Rank despite their long lives.
However, Lin Xiu was the unquestionable genius.
He made it to the Divine Lord Rank 100,000 years before, but then vanished right after. He would show up once every couple of thousands of years, eventually reaching the top of the Divine Lord Rank.
Every time he was forgotten, people would eventually remember his glorious achievement of having dominated the Divine Lord Rank.
There were also rumors that he had escaped from Ascendants chasing him, shocking many top Star Lords.
Lin Xiu was an old Star Lord who was clearly capable of entering the Ascendant State, but he never took the final step. It was all to challenge his limits.
“He defeated Claudia that quickly? Lin Xiu is beyond unbelievable!”
“That might not be the case. Don’t forget Claudia’s title. They might have fought for one minute in our eyes, while actually having fought for a couple of months, or even longer!”
“That’s true. But why did he say that? Is he just being a snob?”
“That Star State monster has four ultimate treasures, not counting the new pair he snatched from Qing Hongyue. Lin Xiu might not be a match for him, unless he has six ultimate treasures too!”
“Don’t overthink. He might be here just to deliver the treasures.” Everybody was discussing the matter. Qing Hongyue’s and Claudia’s subordinates weren’t anxious. They were partners in name but slaves in practice, and not really loyal at that.
So, most of them preferred to stand by and watch the treasure bearers fight it out.
Calivey flew to the deep pit and helped Claudia back to her feet, only to find that her constitution had been shattered; she was so heavily wounded that dizziness almost overtook her.
It was rare for someone as strong as them to be crushed as brutally.
Calivey narrowed her eyes; Lin Xiu was one of the three opponents from the other star zones she was most wary of.
The ancient Star Lord was undoubtedly one of the strongest in the entire universe!
“You’re only a Star State warrior, and yet you’re in possession of that many ultimate treasures? How wonderful…” Lin Xiu clapped his hands and looked at Su Ping with a smile. “1 heard that you’re Su Ping. It hasn’t been many years since you rose to prominence; no more than a hundred years, right? Tsk. Can a hundred years even be considered a long time?”
The last part was asked to the person behind him.
The young man replied with a smile, “Maybe, considering small countries on primitive planets.”
“Hiss…’
Lin Xiu heaved a sigh, then glanced at Calivey, Brian, Qing Hongyue and the others. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Nobody will remember your disgrace after I kill you all. To have cultivated for years and years, all to be subdued by some kid; I feel embarrassed for you.
Qing Hongyue and Calivey have conflicted expressions, but neither could refute.
Brian was cold. While seizing the time to heal his wounds, he turned and said to Su Ping in a low voice, “He probably has plenty of ultimate treasures, maybe six!”
Su Ping nodded. The guy had dared to show up after seeing the number of ultimate treasures he had, so he was definitely confident.
Besides, he suspected that the latter had been lurking about when Qing Hongyue and Claudia were fighting.
Still, they didn’t notice him when they arrived, which suggested that he was better at concealment.
Claudia had been blocked and quickly defeated when she tried to escape; her ultimate treasure had probably been taken.
“Many who have cultivated tens of thousands of years have already become Ascendants. Don’t you have to call them seniors when you see them? I wouldn’t despise you for your shortcomings, or would I?” said Su Ping.
Lin Xiu was stunned by the answer, but then smiled. “Kid, you have a sharp tongue.”
“You on the other hand are stupid, still stuck in the Star Lord State even though you’ve cultivated for 100,000 years. Most people would have reached the Celestial State in 100,000 years, right?”
Su Ping continued his blunt tirade, “Are you obsessed with the Star
Lord Level, or are you just too scared to advance into the Ascendant State, fearing that the Heavenly Lords would beat you up? Or maybe you’re just incapable of advancing?”
All eyes fell on Su Ping after he finished talking.
Even Qing Hongyue and the people who had just met him were surprised.
100,000 years were enough to reach the Celestial State?
How daring ofhim to speak like that!
Still, the statement was difficult to counter. After all, some Celestials had indeed reached their level in no more than 100,000 years. They were the true super geniuses of the universe!
They were extraordinary individuals, though. Future generations would remember them.
Brian and Calivey looked at each other. Su Ping was indeed qualified to make such a bold claim. It wasn’t just meant to infuriate Lin Xiu.
After all, not even the Celestials had been as talented as Su Ping back when they had his level of cultivation.
Even so, it remained to be seen whether or not he would continue being a genius in the future.
Lin Xiu’s smile disappeared and he raised his eyebrows after hearing what Su Ping had said. His eyes widened, like a sleeping serpent gradually sticking out its tongue.
“Are you purposefully saying stupid things to provoke me?
Unfortunately for you, I’m way past the age of being provoked by such stupidity,” said Lin Xiu softly.
“But you’re not smiling as delightedly as before, while I’m quite delighted right now,” said Su Ping with a smile.
Lin Xiu’s lips twitched. He took a deep breath and threw away the hypocritical smile on his face. He looked down with indifference at all the people present. “Consider them your last words. You’re truly unlucky to have met me. Star State brat, you will be the first to die by my hand”‘
All those witnessing the exchange showed subtle changes of expression. It was clear that none would be spared.
Most importantly: what gave him the guts to make that claim, especially that early in the game?
Isn ‘t he afraid of us ganging up on him?
Or maybe, was he absolutely fearless, thinking he had enough advantages to take them on?
Su Ping nodded and remarked, “That’s more like it. I hate it when people smile at me, even though they want to kill me.”
Qing Hongyue’s lips twitched, as she knew that Lin Xiu’s fury was precisely caused by Su Ping’s unnerving words!
Lin Xiu became calm again, and said with a smile, “You think you have a shot because you have six ultimate treasures?”
“So you’re saying you have six of them too?”
Lin Xiu, however, shook his head. “I don’t.”
He took out an ultimate treasure that looked like a plate with six sword hilts. It seemed to be a remarkable artifact, like the legendary wheel ofjudgment.
“However, my ultimate treasure can deactivate all of your ultimate treasures,” said Lin Xiu softly.
His revelation was like a mighty thunderclap in everyone’s ears.
The next moment, a special field was released by the plate-like treasure, locking both time and space. Countless sword auras raged.
Su Ping also felt that his ultimate treasures were moaning, due to some sort of restraint!
The golden shield covering him became lackluster too. His energy was being exhausted at a faster rate, as if it were being pumped away.
His golden flag—which had been ensnaring the red feather—unfurled and fell to the ground, losing its light.
The red feather quickly floated down too. Even so, it still created a deep pit on the ground when it landed.
Su Ping then looked at the crimson blade in his hand, only to see how it had lost its luster. The weapon now seemed to be a primitive metal weapon, completely devoid of energy.
Qing Hongyue and the others were shocked by what they saw. They then looked at Lin Xiu’s sword plate in disbelief.
What kind of ultimate treasure is that?
Dreadful!
The golden flag was only able to restrain one ultimate treasure at a time, while the sword plate could restrain all the ultimate treasures within a certain range.
The six ultimate treasures Su Ping had just acquired were rendered useless, tantamount to scrap iron in the blink of an eye.
That was Lin Xiu’s greatest reliance!
Gasps were heard everywhere. No wonder the latter had dared to show up as pretentiously, despite knowing that Su Ping had six ultimate treasures. He was confident of having the last laugh.
Su Ping changed his expression ever so slightly. The six ultimate treasures could have ensured his victory, but all of them had been disabled.
Lin Xiu’s smile returned upon seeing Su Ping’s face. He took out a purple saber, which was apparently another ultimate treasure. “Your ultimate treasures are useless, but mine are still usable. Let’s see if your tongue is as sharp as my blade!” said Lin Xiu softly.
His voice rumbled like thunder in everybody’s ears.
Qing Hongyue realized something as she stared at the sword plate in Lin Xiu’s hand for a while, then lost her cool. “This is impossible. The Celestial experts couldn’t have forged such an ultimate treasure, and neither would they allow for it to be used in the trial. It’s a violation!”
Calivey narrowed her eyes. “All the ultimate treasures were forged by the saints at the Celestial State experts’ request. Are the saints from the Original Planet involved in this competition too?”
Lin Xiu smiled and said softly, “That is why all of you must die. Dead people tell no tales.”
Their shock appeased him, and the fury provoked by Su Ping began to recede. He said softly, “It’s the true god’s legacy. The saints of the Original Planet prefer to control the new Celestial expert than to allow others to have them. Do you honestly think that the saints have no desires?”
“Damn it!”
Calivey’s face reflected her sullen mood.
Who could’ve thought that the unworldly saints would forget their principles when dealing with the true god’s legacy?
Brian couldn’t have looked any worse. Although Su Ping was by no means weak, his opponent was blatantly cheating. Even the greatest power would be useless when confronting such an ultimate treasure..
