Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 953 Three Minutes

Soon, Yan Lao helped Su Ping complete the appointment.

Signing up for a virtual challenge costs one billion Star Coins, half of which will be automatically deposited into the account of the Star Master being challenged.

Although this amount of money is substantial, it is merely pocket change for a star lord. After all, a star lord governs a small star system, and even a relatively prosperous planet can generate trillions in tax revenue annually.

Led by Elder Yan, Su Ping arrived at a hall in the center of the city.

Many people were immersed in the virtual combat equipment. Su Ping and Elder Yan arrived directly in the most prestigious private room in the palace, where a large machine was located.

"Put on your helmet. Your opponent has already been booked: Clovis, ranked 100th on the God Ranking!"

Yan said.

Su Ping nodded. "Thank you."

Upon arriving at the instrument, he put on a helmet that resembled a motorcycle, but with various colorful lights on the outside. As soon as he put it on, he entered an extremely realistic virtual world.

"Enter the Arena of War?"

"Yes."

"This IP address has already booked an opponent. Do you wish to engage in battle with the booked opponent?"

"Yes."

"Please wait, data import in progress..."

Suddenly, a large amount of purple and red light appeared at the instrument where Su Ping was standing, enveloping his entire body and scanning back and forth. On the other side, the instrument was counting down: 30 seconds.

As the countdown ended, a faint red light flashed on the helmet's earpiece, and Su Ping received another notification: "Data import complete. Please log in to the Arena."

"Log in."

Upon seeing the pop-up interface, Su Ping immediately selected "Confirm".

As he confirmed it, the world before him suddenly opened like a door to a new world, and a vast landscape and a strong pull drew him in, landing him in a desolate, expansive, and boundless battlefield.

The battlefield appears to contain various environments, including forests, mountains, and lakes.

The air is filled with the incredibly realistic scent of grass and trees, and various elements permeate the space. This is the most typical challenge scenario, as well as a comprehensive venue.

A sign next to it indicates that the battlefield simulates the surface of the planet Whiteblight.

The gravity is 9.8 and the star power content is MP5, both of which are relatively strong.

Su Ping sensed it briefly and found that the gravity here was about 20 to 25 times that on Earth. If an ordinary Star Realm cultivator came here, they would probably feel their body was very sticky, like being in seawater, and would be able to feel the pull of gravity.

However, Su Ping's physique was far superior to that of ordinary Starry Sky Realm cultivators. He adapted quickly after a little activity. According to the data prompts beside him, there was a virtual deep space here, which could be torn up to the seventh layer.

As for the deeper reaches of the universe, they are very difficult to simulate.

"With my current strength, I estimate that even if I use all my strength, I can only enter the sixth space. The seventh space is too dangerous. The only way to enter is to find a spatial passage rift in the sixth space."

Su Ping shook his head slightly; his current power was still far from being able to explore the true nature of the universe.

At this point, the screen begins a countdown.

The opponent will arrive on the battlefield in 30 seconds.

Su Ping took a light breath and suddenly realized that although he could move his body, he seemed to be restricted to a range of several feet. He immediately understood that this was to prevent him from setting up traps in advance.

Thirty seconds passed quickly. Several thousand meters in front of Su Ping, a flash of light appeared, and a figure made of virtual data appeared. It was a white-haired young man with a European-style face, cold eyes, and very beautiful silver pupils, like a woman's pupils, which decorated his face and gave him a unique kind of nobility.

Su Ping nodded secretly. Even the guy who was ranked last on the God Lord Ranking looked like the protagonist in a novel, extremely extraordinary and very eye-catching.

While Su Ping was observing, Clovis on the other side had already launched an attack.

Without a word, Clovis summoned his battle pet, a nine-headed Star Lord Realm battle pet. One of the pets merged with his body, while the remaining eight were arranged in a pet formation. A series of amplification techniques were poured out, causing Clovis's aura to surge and his white hair to fly up.

Seeing this, Su Ping didn't hold back. He summoned Little Skeleton, the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast, and Er Gou, and charged forward fiercely.

The little skeleton merged with the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast, and Er Gou, under Su Ping's command, charged directly towards Clovis's pet formation.

They were replicated from Su Ping's consciousness by intelligence, and their abilities were the same as the real ones, except that they had no words and seemed to lack some vitality.

With the dual fusion, a violent power surged from within his body. Su Ping didn't hide it. He had been cultivating diligently for some time and had just advanced in level. He also wanted to test his limits!

"The Way of Time!"

"The Sword of Rules!"

"Divine Sword Path, Fifth Form: Heavenly Meteor!!"

Su Ping suddenly rushed out, immediately unleashing his strongest sword technique. The divine sword, condensed with countless rules, slashed down like a divine thunderbolt that cleaved the sky. However, when it reached several hundred meters above Clovis's head, the sword's momentum suddenly decreased, and its speed slowed down, as if it had struck into a quagmire, with the power above it rapidly dissipating.

Su Ping's pupils contracted, and he immediately sensed an invisible special force field hundreds of meters away from Clovis.

To be precise, it's a special world.

That was the little world Clovis created.

The oppressive power and rules of the small world were more than ten times that of the domain, weakening his sword strike by ninety percent. The remaining trace of power was easily crushed within that small world.

"As expected, in battles at the Star Lord level, the strength of the smaller world still matters; the rules are no longer sufficient!"

Seeing this, Su Ping's eyes sharpened, and his small world suddenly erupted, like a barren stone egg, crashing violently into the opposite side. The next moment, Su Ping felt as if his whole body was being torn apart, a sharp pain, and his small world was also shaking violently, as if it was about to collapse. The faith power accumulated in the small world was also trembling wildly at this moment, being shaken out and dissipating in much of it.

"My little world isn't strong enough..."

Su Ping's face darkened, and he immediately sensed the difference in their abilities.

He could sense that the reason his small world hadn't completely collapsed was because the time rules within it, as well as the nascent form of the Destruction Dao rules he had just acquired, were struggling to hold it up. These two supreme rules provided far more support to the small world than any other rules, like two solid, heavy walls supporting it.

Otherwise, with that one impact, he would have been like an egg hitting a rock, and would have been smashed to pieces!

"The difference is really that big..."

Su Ping found it hard to accept that this was only the 100th place on the God Lord Ranking, and that he had to reach the top ten to leave the Divine Court. One can imagine what a huge leap that would be!

"By the way, a god general from the Fallen Demigod Land once told me that a small world is an enhanced version, and also the ultimate version, of a domain. Besides using the power of faith and rules to reinforce a small world, spiritual power can also do so!"

Su Ping suddenly recalled a conversation from long ago, when he was still very weak and had just casually asked about higher realms, to which the other party had also casually answered.

But at this moment, these words flashed by like lightning. Su Ping's eyes lit up, and the next moment a terrifying aura emerged from behind him, a deep and turbid domain of power appeared.

The domain is the embodiment of the spirit, and Su Ping overlaps the domain with the small world.

Just then, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

The moment the turbid domain merged with the small world, the domain seemed to tremble violently, like boiling water, but the trembling felt more like something within the domain was about to break free.

The terrifying giant shadows that had been flying past behind the turbid energy field suddenly disappeared, leaving only the turbid energy field trembling.

Suddenly, as the domain completely merged into the small world, a terrifying aura suddenly assaulted Su Ping's heart. He felt a chill rush up his chest to the top of his head, and then he saw a crack suddenly open in the desolate small world, from which an extremely sharp and ferocious claw slowly emerged.

These claws were enormous, with dry, ugly, and ferocious skin.

The claws were about ten zhang long, and seemed to be the claws of some giant beast.

As the claws appeared, Su Ping immediately felt his small world become incredibly heavy. He paused for a moment, staring at the claws, feeling as if they were some terrifying creature he had seen in the Chaotic Necromancer Realm.

Has this thing been materialized within its own little world?

Su Ping suddenly felt an urge to try. Since it was in a virtual world, he wasn't afraid of failure. He gritted his teeth and pushed his small world to collide with Clovis's small world again.

At the moment of collision, the strange claw in Su Ping's small world suddenly stretched out and pierced into Clovis's small world.

The attack of the claws created an opening for Su Ping. The next moment, his small world crashed into that opening and immediately blocked Clovis's small world. The two small worlds were vying with each other, and for a time neither was at a disadvantage.

This strange phenomenon shocked Su Ping. He noted it down and planned to investigate it later. While using his claws to suppress the opponent's small world, Su Ping used the passage created by his own small world to unleash his sword technique and immediately attacked Clovis.

Without uttering a word, Clovis rapidly formed a peculiar set of finger movements with his hands, then suddenly pointed forward into the void. A gigantic arm burst forth from the depths of space, its surface covered in purplish-black spots, resembling the arm of a hairy, dried-up corpse. It was enormous and slammed towards Su Ping.

Su Ping was somewhat surprised; he hadn't encountered this kind of method much before.

Previously, the sparring partners he found in the cultivation world were all only at the Starry Sky Realm. After all, sparring partners at the Star Lord Realm are usually instantly killed, so he doesn't have much opportunity to improve.

Su Ping retaliated with the Demon-Suppressing Divine Fist. The dazzling golden fist carried a majestic divine power, domineering and fierce, seemingly never retreating.

The Demon-Suppressing Fist seemed to have a special restraining effect on this strange giant arm. As soon as it collided with the arm, a sizzling sound rang out, as if it were being burned and corroded. However, the terrifying power carried by the giant arm shattered the Demon-Suppressing Fist, and Su Ping was also sent flying backward by the shock.

Su Ping's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. He roared and threw another punch.

This time, he used all his star power and mobilized every cell in his body.

boom!

The power of the three gods to kill, the power of the eight or nine transformations!

The power of both star charts was concentrated in his arm. As his fist swung out, the terrifying fist image seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart. It collided with the purple-black giant arm, and in an instant, more than ten fist images erupted, with continuous thuds.

Once the fist shadow disappeared, the purplish-black giant arm was also forced back into deep space.

Su Ping took a deep breath. He wondered where Klov had learned this terrifying secret technique, which allowed him to summon such a bizarre thing to aid him in battle. These geniuses at the Star Lord level were indeed extraordinary.

The battle continued, Su Ping's star power surged like a raging sea, unleashing a barrage of punches and sword strikes.

Clovis's methods were endless; sometimes he would use swordsmanship to deflect attacks, and sometimes he would use a flick of his finger to pierce through Su Ping's divine fist.

hum!

Suddenly, white light condensed in Clovis's hand, transforming into an impenetrable lightsaber.

"This is a bit unreasonable..."

Seeing the intense power of faith emanating from the lightsaber, Su Ping's lips twitched. This power of faith was more than a thousand times greater than his own!

Light gathered in his palm, and white light also coalesced into a sword, but the sword's concentration and power were far inferior to Clovis's. In terms of the power of faith, Su Ping was still too weak.

"Um?"

Just then, Su Ping suddenly saw that from the depths of his small world, strands of extremely thick white light suddenly surged out. In particular, from the strange claw in his small world, pure white faith power also floated out from the dark and turbid area where the claw's wrist extended, merging into his small world.

"These...come from my domain?"

Su Ping was somewhat taken aback and confused.

What's going on?

The power of faith has actually emerged from the domain?

As the power of faith that flew from the claw's wrist merged into it, the lightsaber in Su Ping's palm instantly emitted a dazzling light. The power of faith provided by the claw alone made Su Ping feel as if he were in an ocean of faith of billions of people, surrounded by an extremely powerful, sacred, and vast force.

Su Ping suddenly opened his eyes and once again unleashed a violent slash with his sword.

Bang!

The two swords formed by the power of faith clashed violently, and a blinding white light exploded. Immediately afterward, Su Ping felt a tearing pain in his body and was involuntarily sent flying backward.

He struggled to open his eyes and saw that Clovis on the other side was also flying backward, spitting out blood, and seemed to be injured as well.

Whoosh.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared before my eyes.

The battlefield vanished, and Su Ping opened his eyes again, finding himself back in the palace, before the instruments.

"What's going on?" Su Ping was taken aback.

"If you are defeated, or if your virtual body is found to be more than 90% injured, you will be discontinued from the battle to avoid causing deep psychological damage." Old Yan's voice came from the side.

"I thought it would only last 30 seconds at most, but I didn't expect it to last three minutes. You're really something, worthy of being the disciple chosen by the God." Old Yan sighed, his eyes filled with admiration for Su Ping.

For someone at the mere Starry Sky Realm to be able to hold out against Clovis for three minutes is an absolutely incredible feat.

Su Ping smiled wryly. He had already injured that guy, and he felt that if he persisted a little longer, there was a sliver of hope for victory.

However, there were many things about this battle that he didn't understand.

"Elder Yan, can the power of faith be obtained from one's own spiritual power?" Su Ping asked curiously, thinking of the power of faith flying out from the depths of the domain.
