Pah, pah, pah!

Someone applauded gently, but it couldn’t have sounded clearer in the quiet void.

“As expected of Shen Huang’s disciple.”

Five men gradually stepped out of the void. The person in the lead was a young man wearing a large, red robe with black dragon patterns. He chuckled and said, “Are you Shuai Qianhou? I’ve heard so much about you.”

“Shuai Qianhou!”

The brawny young man next to him roared and then laughed. “Do you remember me?”

Shuai Qianhou raised his eyebrows and said casually, “I do. You were defeated by me.”

“Lunfortunately lost to you in the competition for the top of the Divine Lord Rank, but it’s been forty thousand years since then; how many more perfect paths have you grasped?” sneered the brawny young man.

The Divine Lord Rank at that time was much more precious than it was in recent times.

The top five Star Lords had mostly grasped perfect paths!

Shuai Qianhou was the strongest of them; he had grasped two perfect paths. Nobody could shake his position as the best Star Lord of the Golden Star Zone!

Forty thousand years had passed.

He believed that Shuai Qianhou had progressed considerably, but he did too!

“Perfect paths?”

‘What the brawny young man said stunned the members of the alliance, including Loulan Lin and the others. Everybody fixed their eyes upon Shuai Qianhou.

The young man, a mere Star Lord, had grasped perfect paths!

It was a shocking revelation for plenty of the Star Lords, as if a meteor would have just struck the planet!

While they were still trying to fully master the four supreme laws, that Star Lord from tens of thousands of years before was already aiming for more perfect paths?

“You were left behind by me. I didn’t expect you to be absolutely the same, not making any progress since then,” said Shuai Qianhou indifferently.

The brawny young man’s mood tured cold. “I’m not here to argue with you. You must have picked up a lot of tokens, and the ultimate treasure left by Shen Huang, right? He claimed that the luckiest would find it, but he only gave it to his disciples!”

Many people were shocked by his boldness; to think he would directly complain about the Celestial State expert!

However, they were there to surround and kill the Celestial expert’s disciples; it seemed that an offense was inevitable.

“Indeed. We have the ultimate treasure and the tokens.” Shuai Qianhou smiled and revealed all of the seven glittering purple tokens in his hand. He simply played with them.

“You want them? There are only ten tokens in total on each continent. Some grains of sand are bound to be eliminated in this trial!”

Shuai Qianhou smiled and said, “Those of you who are as strong as the top ten holders of the Divine Lord Rank, I allow you to join; I will take you to the central continent for the other fifty tokens, kill competitors of other continents, so we can loot their treasures and fortunes!”

“Ha, ha, ha…”

The brawny young man laughed. “Are you still daydreaming when death is at your door? You think you can make us fight each other with a few simple words? We’ll kill you, then we’ll share your treasure and tokens. You don’t get to tell us what to do!”

Shuai Qianhou narrowed his eyes. “Is that so? This is your last chance. It’s even merciful for your sake. You’ll wish you would have seized the chance once I get tired of waiting!”

Hundreds of other people looked at each other in bewilderment.

They had no idea why Shuai Qianhou and the others—who were surrounded at the moment—were that confident.

‘And even if those people were strong, everybody was a genius. The gap among them wasn’t that big.

Besides, they outnumbered their enemies. Even though the man was on the top of the Divine Lord Rank, they could still kill him!

“Nonsense! This is a fair competition!” someone stood out and roared, “There’s no back door for you, even if you’re Shen Huang’s disciples!”

“That’s right. Let’s kill them first; they must have the secrets given by their master. It’s probably related to the legacy,” someone instigated.

Most of the people who talked didn’t think they were as strong as the top ten of the Divine Lord Rank. If anyone joined the other team, then they would be abandoned.

Therefore, in any case, they had to go and kill Shen Huang’s disciples. Then, they would redistribute their fortune.

“Junior brother…”

While Yu Jingze and the others tried to remain calm. His heart was beating fast. It had been pounding ever since the moment they saw such a huge alliance.

Shuai Qianhou might have a chance to get away, but they certainly couldn’t.

‘When Shuai Qianhou took out the tokens and declared that not only those who were as strong as the top ten of the Divine Lord Rank were qualified to join; they felt he was jabbing the temples of those desperadoes with needles, before he asked them “Did it hurt?”

It was just like trying to get killed!

‘Wanyan Shuang’s face was pale too. She had recognized the five men standing at the front; they were as strong as Shuai Qianhou. She didn’t know the red-robed young man leading them; besides, he was disguised.

In any case, he was very likely a tough figure too, since the brawny young man was voluntarily standing behind him.

She suddenly regretted accepting Shuai Qianhou’s invitation too soon.

She looked around, and considered how she could escape when the battle broke out.

Maybe—

Should I take the chance to stab them in the back?

But then, she soon noticed the guy standing peacefully in front of the shivering trio from the Loulan family.

It was none other than Su Ping.

That little Star State guy!

Why is he so calm?

‘Wanyan Shuang was shocked. She didn’t see any panic on the young man’s face. Instead, he was smiling, as if delighted by Shuai Qianhou’s madness!

What is wrong with those two?

Or maybe, did they have trump cards she wasn’t aware of?

‘Wanyan Shuang felt shocked all of a sudden, and thought of something.

The Celestial expert’s treasure!

Was the treasure giving them courage?

The more she thought about it, the more likely she believed it was so. Nobody knew what their master had left for them, but given his preparations for the legacy, it would certainly be extraordinary!

Roars were currently echoing in the sky.

More and more members of the alliance were shouting, vowing to kill Shuai Qianhou and the others to seize their tokens and treasures!

The red-robed young man leading the group chuckled and said, “Looks like you’ll have to die.”

Shuai Qianhou glanced at him casually. “And you are?”

The red-robed guy smiled and waved his hand. “Kill them!”

His short reply was his response to Shuai Qianhou’s question.

Auras burst out and filled up the sky in the next moment. All those Star Lords fused with their pets, but didn’t charge directly. However, a person standing behind the red-robed young man moved forward, and then a strange force field akin to a thundercloud manifested above Su Ping and his teammates.

All the attackers released their energy and sent it to the special force field, hoping to suppress and kill Su Ping and the others with laws and energy.

All of them were geniuses from various organizations; they were scared of the ultimate treasure that Su Ping carried.

Shuai Qianhou raised his head, then flashed a smile before he said, “Shatter!”

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Members of the alliance exploded in an instant; just like fireworks, they burst into blood pulps!

Sharp and chaotic power of space emerged from deeper spaces, like bloodthirsty sharks that had found a blood scent; ancient whispers were echoing. Many of the weaker people started to scream as their minds broke.

Even more people were driven mad and exploded.

As for most of the casualties, they were simply penetrated by the power of space!

The perfect path of space enabled Shuai Qianhou to tap into power from the seventh space, even though he was just a Star Lord!

Outnumbered?

It meant nothing when dealing with the path of space!

It went on, one scream after the other; it was truly bloodcurdling. Wanyan Shuang’s pupils contracted as she watched; she had seen that Shuai Qianhou had attained a perfect path of space, but she didn’t know it was that powerful!

That was a sampling of how terrifying a perfect path was!

It was much more powerful than a simple mastery. The collision of laws alone was enough to crush thousands of enemies!

A hundred warriors who had surrounded them were killed by Shuai Qianhou with a single attack!

The brawny young man was staring coldly at Shuai Qianhou. He and his four partners didn’t stop for a moment, as if happy to see what Shuai Qianhou was doing.

After all, those grunts were bound to be eliminated.

It mattered not whether they were killed by the latter or someone else.

“Help!”

“Help us! Aren’t we allies?!”

Those who were struggling to hold on roared in fury and shock, seeing that their leaders remained unconcerned.

However, most people chose to stay still. Besides the red-robed leader and his partners, many others resisted Shuai Qianhou’s attack calmly; they didn’t lift a hand to help their allies, either.

They were indeed part of an alliance, but that didn’t mean that they would readily help each other.

“Run!”

More and more people chose to run instead of becoming cannon fodder for the alliance; it was better to hide elsewhere. Maybe they would be able to pick up something in the end.
