Retribution Phoenix Feather Blood:

Contains blood of the Retribution Phoenixes, ancient Ascendant State creatures. Fiery class birds may be benefited if they have it; their blood power will be strengthened, and they may inherit the secret skills of the Retribution Phoenixes. The blood will also remove the impurities inside their bodies and make them as strong as Retribution Phoenixes!

Su Ping read the description. It contains blood of Ascendant State Retribution Phoenixes?

The Ascendant State creatures were as strong as Joanna’s original self, or the Ascendant State experts in the Federation!

They were still too far away from Su Ping at this moment; their techniques were as marvelous as those of the Creator himself. They could make use of powers on a deeper level!

Su Ping had heard about the techniques exclusive to those in the Ascendant State. Owning laws was just one of the most fundamental abilities. It had to be noted that they owned the laws, they weren’t just harnessing them.

In addition, Ascendant State experts were almost immortal!

As long as they took one more step forward, they would become true immortals and live forever, like the four Superior Gods in the Demigod Burial.

Joanna’s original self hadn’t reached that level yet, which was why she had to reincarnate and lengthen her longevity with some secret techniques.

I had never heard about Retribution Phoenixes, but phoenixes in general have always been supreme birds. Those Retribution Phoenixes must be a branch of the early phoenixes, Su Ping thought.

He gazed at the feather for a long time; he eventually gritted his teeth and bought it.

Even though it was very expensive, it contained blood of the Ascendant State phoenixes anyway. Su Ping knew the system very well; the item had to have extraordinary effects deserving of such a price.

Very soon, the three items in the shop were bought.

Su Ping found the feather in the system space. The intense aura of the phoenixes was spread in the shop when he took it out, and infinite light radiated from the feather, illuminating and reddening Su Ping’s cheeks.

Su Ping felt as if the air he was breathing had also become hot.

Every barb on the feather contained divine power, making it look brilliant.

Su Ping had the feeling that, if it was dropped outside of the shop, the feather would have been destructive enough to cut through the void and make an opening to the fourth space!

If it was crafted into a weapon, it could even chop the stars apart!

The aura of the Ascendant State… Su Ping’s eyes flashed. He had seen people in the Ascendant State before, but he was even more awed by them as he cultivated and broke through to higher levels.

He was like an ant in the past; even though he had seen those great beings, he was unable to detect how horrifying they were.

Sometimes, the more knowledgeable would become the most timid!

“This is…”

Joanna looked at the feather that was floating in front of Su Ping with shock in her eyes.

She was already jealous enough after seeing the treasure containing a ghastly dragon aura. The man still had an Ascendant State phoenix feather to top it off?

She had keenly recognized how extraordinary the feather was!

It was a feather of an Ascendant State phoenix. How could such a phoenix have dropped a feather that easily?

Generally speaking, they would only abandon the inferior feathers to be replaced with better ones.

However, Su Ping’s feather contained a magnificent aura. It wasn’t a simple feather; it was possibly a carefully refined crown feather from a phoenix’s head!

That phoenix was as strong as her original self!

“The feather of a Retribution Phoenix,” Su Ping simply replied.

He was also intimidated by the brilliant feather, but recovered his cool demeanor soon enough. He seized the feather, returned to the lab and shut the door. Then, fierce golden flames erupted from his body.

Those were Golden Crow flames.

Su Ping was already half a Golden Crow after reaching the second level of the Solar Bulwark.

His body was as hard as those at the peak of the Fate State.

It was then that Su Ping stabbed the feather in his chest; the tip of the feather touched the edge of his heart, causing an excruciating pain.

The feather had cut through Su Ping’s chest like a sharp blade, connecting with Su Ping’s heart. While enduring the pain, Su Ping’s heart made a quick constriction and absorbed all the blood in his body, before it attracted the phoenix blood in the feather and pulled it to enter his body.

Soon after, Su Ping felt that a scorching energy was flowing out of the phoenix feather and entering his heart like fire. Then, the scorching feeling was spread out to all his limbs along with his blood.

Su Ping felt as if he were being burnt. The pain was insufferable.

However, he was already used to extreme pain. He gritted his teeth and stared ahead.

He focused his attention on something else to reduce the pain his body felt.

Su Ping’s Golden Crow flames were no longer purely gold but had a hint of redness; they seemed to be even more powerful.

Su Ping felt that his entire body was being completely burned.

Once the heat reached the maximum level—deep inside his brain and his soul, the loudest phoenix shriek resounded!

The shriek—like a dagger of light that was cutting darkness apart—woke him up from the agony. Then, he sensed that some ancient information was being poured into his head.

Retribution Fire, one that could burn anything!

Emerging on Su Ping’s back, the flames turned into a pair of gigantic phoenix wings that had mobility. The temperature in the lab had reached a whopping eight thousand degrees, even higher than that on the surface of the sun!

A mass of dark, dirty flames flew out and struck the wall, disappearing into nothingness.

Although nothing was destroyed, Su Ping was able to feel the fire’s horrifying power. It contained the power of multiple laws; however, the laws were quite vague, seeming to be like molten pieces rather than complete laws. Still, they were unimaginably powerful after they were perfectly combined!

“Is this the Retribution Fire, the secret technique that the Retribution Phoenixes passed to their descendants?” Su Ping mumbled with golden flames fluttering in his eyes.

That secret technique was as powerful as the sword technique he had developed on his own. It might be even more powerful!

It was because Su Ping hadn’t fully combined the power of four laws in the sword technique yet, but the recent combination was immaculate!

With a thought, Su Ping made all the flames enter his body again.

The feeling of being burned was already gone; he couldn’t have felt more exhilarated at that moment.

It almost felt like he had just taken off his clothes and his skin was breathing heavily.

Su Ping lowered his head, only to find that his skin was smooth and flawless, better than most girls’. However, there were sturdy muscles under the seemingly delicate skin.

Su Ping was able to see the golden brilliance within through his own pores, which was the astral power and divine power in his body.

Su Ping felt that the astral power was flowing faster. This meant that his attack would be twice as fast!

My body seems to have been refined. Have the impurities in my body been burned to ashes?

Su Ping touched his arm and felt that it was stronger and sturdier than before.

My Solar Bulwark has changed a little bit too. The power of the Retribution Phoenix seems to have been swallowed by the Solar Bulwark. After all, the Golden Crows were much stronger than the Retribution Phoenixes…

My Golden Crow seems stronger than normal Golden Crows. It’s been polished! Su Ping thought.

He felt as if his physical strength were already as good as that of the Star State!

The power of laws was coursing underneath his skin. They were the melting laws in the Retribution Phoenix’s feather, which were scattered in his body like nutrition.

He had been unable to gather the laws, because they had already been digested and had become waste. However, the “waste” inside his body could still resist attacks!

The system didn’t rip me off.

Su Ping took a breath of relief. The item was expensive, but its price was worth it.

He wasn’t a greedy man; money was earned to be spent. Strengthening oneself was what mattered.

He could always earn more energy after it was used up!

Once I reach the Fate State, I’ll be able to upgrade my store and train Star State pets, Su Ping thought.

He had just reached the Void State by breaking the bottleneck and building a bridge with the cutting law of the space class.

Normal Fate State people had to gain a deeper understanding of space, to then strengthen and heighten the bridge. When the bridge was high enough for them to touch the wall of the world inside their bodies, they would have the possibility to reach the peak of the Fate State.

Once they broke the wall and mastered laws, they would then reach the Star State!

As for Su Ping, his understanding of space was much higher than theirs. As long as he were willing to, he could break through to the Fate State or even the Star State at that moment.

After all, it would be easy for him to break the wall in his body, using the power of multiple laws he knew.

But Su Ping wasn’t hasty. He had benefited a lot from a longer accumulation in the Ocean State and the Void State.

Although he was only in the Void State, his bridge was even harder and indestructible than those in the Fate State, which allowed him to carry more astral power and give a stronger outburst.

If other people’s bridges were able to carry ten tons of astral power, Su Ping was able to carry a thousand!

Su Ping hoped to build a high enough bridge to reach the “wall” while ensuring they had the same quality.

He didn’t want to speed up the project, which would’ve wasted the foundation he had built so carefully.

I should accumulate more energy now. The student from the Huge Mia Academy had a lot of astral crystals in her storage. The young master of the Ryan family was also rich. They should be able to give me enough energy, Su Ping thought.

It would be even better if he could master one or two more laws while accumulating energy. His bridge would be harder that way.

However, Su Ping knew it wasn’t going to be easy.

After all, it was never easy to grasp the power of laws. To build a bridge with the law of space was already quite unusual in that world.
