Chapter 1033: Key
Whoosh!
Su Ping immediately returned to the fifth space and ran in another direction after jumping out of the eighth space again.
If anyone were to observe the multiple spaces in general, they would discover that Su Ping was escaping in an arc-shaped route! At the end of this arc, Su Ping seemed to be turning back to the main planet of the Blue Castle Planetary System!
He took a turn and quickly returned to the main planet.
Whoosh!
Su Ping dashed again into the seventh space.
That was a world none of the assassins could detect; it was already extremely difficult for Star Lords to sneak into the sixth space. Only the top Star Lords were capable of doing that.
As for the seventh space, no Star Lords could possibly survive it!
Su Ping had snuck into the planet through the seventh space earlier, because he was afraid that the assassins would have set up traps in the sixth space around the planet, even though it was unlikely; that was why the assassins had failed to detect him.
On the planet, amongst the debris.
The one-eyed young man gloomily arrived at the place where the body of the alluring woman fell after her head exploded. He took away a few small adornments, which were her storage treasures.
Then, he went to see the young man again, hoping to fetch his belongings.
However, the scary pet next to the young man’s body expanded significantly. The contract between them was nullified since he died. Their past bond was quickly forgotten!
The scary beast followed its heart and revealed its true form, which was the combination of an insect and a reptile; it was a hundred meters long, with plenty of sharp claws. It lay next to the young man’s body, roaring at the approaching one-eyed young man as a warning.
The latter became even more sullen; his sole eye emitted purple light that made the scary pet stiffen; its eyeballs moved slower. Then, a streak of light struck its body in its most vulnerable part.
Having lived and fought together for more than two thousand years, the one-eyed young man knew the beast’s weaknesses fully well. He had saved the pet several times, and was saved a few times in return.
After a boom, the scary beast fell to the ground. Blood surged out of its body, soon dying the nearby debris red.
The one-eyed young man waved his hand, attracting the young man’s body to him. He was about to search for the victim’s possessions when he sensed something and raised his head. Right then, a sword aura brushed past him.
The young man dashed and narrowly dodged it. However, the young man’s corpse he had moved was hit and cut apart. It melted quickly, as if corrupted by acid, thanks to the law of destruction in the sword aura.
“You!”
The one-eyed young man looked at his side in shock, where Su Ping emerged and charged at him without delay.
“No way…”
The one-eyed assassin couldn’t have been more shocked, as he could tell that his Ascendant State pet was still hunting Su Ping in deep spaces according to his instructions. However, Su Ping had made it back!
He was bold enough to return instead of running away from an Ascendant beast hunting him!
“Rot in hell!”
Su Ping’s small world expanded quickly. He had fully revealed his small world by then; the four perfected supreme laws emitted light that circulated in the small world like pillars. The other perfected laws were also flowing and releasing a suffocating pressure.
The one-eyed young man was so appalled that he couldn’t say a thing. However, his abundant battle experience allowed him to realize what was going on and perform the forbidden skill of his clan!
“Dream God!”
It was said that ancient gods could be summoned with that forbidden skill!
However, the gods weren’t usually in a good mood when disturbed. According to the history of his clan, some of the summoned gods had caused disasters. So, it had been listed as a forbidden skill!
Purple light glowed brilliantly in his eye at the moment.
However, a sword aura darted out of Su Ping’s small world at an unimaginable speed, which went into his only eye and blew his head up!
Bang!
Su Ping followed up and punched, smashing the man’s body into pieces. However, he controlled his strength and was able to grab the victim’s items.
Meanwhile, he also attracted the other young man’s body and threw it into his small world.
Once he collected the items, Su Ping punched to reach the bottom of the debris and destroyed the array hub, which had been buried deeply under the building.
The illusions enshrouding the surface of the planet would disappear. Most importantly, if the array wasn’t destroyed, it would eventually absorb all the planet’s energy until it fell apart!
It might even trigger a chain reaction and destroy the entire galaxy.
Su Ping escaped into the void again and appeared outside the planet. He sensed that Loulan Lin and the Little Skeleton were hiding in the tertiary space, so he immediately went there.
His senses could no longer be blocked by the shallower spaces after his law of space was perfected.
That was the power of the strongest Star Lord. He almost had no weaknesses!
Loulan Lin was quite surprised to see Su Ping, and quickly asked, “Have you figured it out?”
Su Ping pulled her wrist and petted the Little Skeleton, before he sent it back to the contract space and escaped. While they ran, he said, “It’s done. They hid themselves on a planet, and probably set up deadly traps. But they didn’t have a chance to use them.”
“It’s… done?” Loulan Lin was stunned. It’s only been a couple of minutes, yet Su Ping already took care of the Dark Tower assassins lurking on the planet?
The masked young man on the spaceship had left a deep impression on her. Although she was able to fight back, she would have surely been captured if the fight dragged on. That guy was only bait to lure them, so the other assassins had to be even more horrifying.
“However, one of the assassins had an Ascendant State pet, which is hunting us at the moment,” Su Ping added.
Loulan Lin: “…”
An Ascendant State pet is chasing us…
Loulan Lin suddenly felt a strong headache!
She had never been so exhausted in her entire life, even though she didn’t do anything.
“Don’t panic. We should be able to get rid of it,” Su Ping reassured her.
Loulan Lin became hopeful again. “Your master gave you other treasures, right?”
“No.”
“…”
Loulan Lin fell silent.
Su Ping traveled everywhere with her using the Prime Sky Mirror. In the meantime, he charged at the edge of that spatial pocket according to the map on his watch.
“It’s slowing down…” Su Ping was able to tell where the Ascendant beast was through the clones he had left behind. He finally felt less anxious after sensing that it had obviously slowed down.
He took the risk of going back and killing the one-eyed young man, partly for his own escape.
After losing its master, the pet would gradually forget its last instruction, and would stop hunting him persistently!
Fortunately, the one-eyed young man only had one Ascendant pet, and Su Ping didn’t expect that it would return.
Loulan Lin suddenly said, “Just abandon me if there are no other choices, just abandon me.”
Su Ping: “?”
“Avenge me later if you manage to get away!” Loulan Lin raised her head and looked at Su Ping, with a vague smile on her face. “I’ll try my best to fight and buy as much time for you as I can.”
Su Ping glanced at her. “Aren’t you afraid of dying?”
“Of course I am.” Loulan Lin didn’t seem concerned. She held her head high. “However, I would rather see one of us escape than have both of us die here.”
Su Ping nodded. “Fair enough.”
Loulan Lin seemed disappointed, but the sentiment was quickly gone. She was still wearing a smile, as if she didn’t care about her life anymore.
Seeing that, Su Ping didn’t say anything else, simply moving at full speed.
The astral power in his body continued to flow into the Prime Sky Mirror. Traveling back and forth again and again, Su Ping stopped on a desolate planet a couple of hours later.
Then, he quickly searched the victims’ belongings, finally finding a spaceship stored in the woman’s accessory.
He took out the spaceship and asked Loulan Lin to board it.
“Can you fly a spaceship?”
Loulan Lin shook her head. That skill was useless to her.
Su Ping could only explore on his own. Very soon, he discovered that this advanced spaceship had aptly sensed that he wasn’t an authorized pilot.
Loulan Lin searched with her watch, and suddenly said in delight, “Huh? This is a spaceship manufactured by Loulan Enterprises.”
Su Ping asked, “So you know how to fly it?”
“No.”
“Then what’s the point…”
“But I have the permissions!”
Loulan Lin felt thrilled as she quickly operated the cockpit and explained to Su Ping, “All the spaceships produced by the Loulan family have a back door, allowing our family members to use them with all permissions open under special circumstances! It’s a convention. Most families do the same. Done!”
The spaceship’s security was bypassed after her joyful cry; it scanned and confirmed Loulan Lin’s identity. Then, under her instruction, it switched to autopilot mode and jumped to the edge of the spatial pocket.
“Why hasn’t the Ascendant pet arrived yet?” asked Loulan Lin nervously. The spaceship had provided them with a slim chance of survival, but only if the monster didn’t catch up with them.
“Oh, it has already given up,” said Su Ping casually. He took out the Dark Tower members’ belongings and examined them.
“It has?” Loulan Lin was stunned. Having no time to scold Su Ping for not telling her sooner, she asked in delight, “Really?”
“Yes, of course.” Su Ping gave a casual reply while he examined the objects.
Loulan Lin was rather suspicious, seeing how casual Su Ping was. However, she remembered that Su Ping had no reason to trick her, so she gradually calmed down and said, “I was so worried about you!”
Su Ping ignored her while he quietly checked the loot; he soon found a lot of secret treasures and techniques. There were also ancient scrolls; the words written had already turned fuzzy. They seemed to have been acquired from ancient relics.
In addition, there was a hill of astral crystals, and some rare pet food.
“Huh?”
Su Ping saw a lot of lifelike robots in one of the storage spaces, which were all alluring and from a variety of races. However, most of them had been ruined due to brutal handling; Su Ping could only express his admiration for the fella.
He took the garbage out, throwing it to the side.
“That many combat robots?” Loulan Lin leaned over curiously. She had no doubt that the robots the Dark Tower assassins carried were top of the line. An alluring voice echoed when she accidentally stepped on one of the robots’ blond hair. “I feel so hot…”
Bang!
The robot’s head exploded, and its speaker cracked into pieces.
Su Ping said without raising his head, “Don’t touch anything.”
Loulan Lin had already figured out what those ruined robots were for by then. She blushed like a kid who had done something wrong, and slowly moved to where Su Ping was.
“Not a bad harvest.” Su Ping had examined most of it. Apart from the weird things he couldn’t recognize, all the items were extremely valuable. It was a massive accumulation of cultivation resources that could be exchanged for many treasures. Even he didn’t get such loot often.
“It’s all yours. I don’t want any of it,” said Loulan Lin quickly, “You were the one who killed them. Besides, I’m not short of cultivation resources…”
“I didn’t mean to share them with you anyway,” Su Ping interrupted her, “They’re mine.”
“…”
Su Ping gathered all the belongings in a storage space. Once he categorized them, he found a lot of uncanny stuff again. Some of it was clearly garbage; Su Ping simply destroyed it, including the robots on the ground.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, an item fell from the destroyed garbage. It turned out to be intact.
Su Ping was rather surprised by this. He picked it up, only to find that it was an unremarkable iron badge.
“It wasn’t destroyed?” Su Ping observed it carefully, but it simply looked like a piece of iron from every perspective. It was also covered in rust, as if about to crumble at any time.
Su Ping used the law of destruction to envelop the badge, only to discover that the power which could easily annihilate a Star Lord wasn’t even able to remove the rust.
“What’s this?”
Su Ping was puzzled. Soon, he remembered the brawny young man’s soul he had imprisoned. He released the guy from his small world, and pressed him to kneel with three silver swords. “What’s this?”
The old man’s memories were incomplete, and Su Ping didn’t find anything related to the item.
The brawny young man saw the scattered items around him, and was overwhelmed with disbelief. Did our ambush fail?
My captain and teammates died?
But the captain had a horrifying Ascendant pet…
“I asked you a question!” said Su Ping coldly.
The brawny young man felt that a mountain had just been laid on top of him. The excruciating pain refreshed him. He quickly said, “Wait, wait. I’ll confess. That’s the key to our base in the Home of Havoc.”
