“I cannot believe it…”

Everybody was thinking the same.

They couldn’t believe their eyes!

After a momentary daze, the dozen Star Lords who had attacked Shuai Qianhou with perfect laws made the same choice—

Run!

Unbelievable as the scene might be, they were Star Lords who had been through countless battles; it didn’t take long for them to realize that battling was hopeless now that Brian had failed.

Besides, Su Ping had two of the ultimate treasures. How could they possibly beat him?

Su Ping raised his eyebrows as he watched them disperse, but didn’t give chase.

There were too many of them; it was impossible for him to kill them all.

It was one thing to kill them in a head-on clash, and a whole different matter to chase and eliminate each and every one.

“Are you going to unbind yourself from your ultimate treasure, or do you need me to do it?” Su Ping asked Brian, who was like a dead dog.

Brian breathed heavily as he watched his allies escape, and lost his last hope. He put on a bitter smile. What had he been looking forward to? Even if they were willing to charge for his sake, it would have been hopeless to think they would defeat that unbelievable monster.

“Why bother? You could just kill me,” said a wheezing Brian.

Su Ping said casually, “I simply think it would be a shame to kill such a great talent as yourself.”

“A shame?”

Brian’s face twitched, and he felt even more bitter.

Was that condescension?

The guy whose level was much lower than his actually pitied him.

Brian asked back, “Are you not afraid that I’ll retaliate later for what you did to me if you spare my life?”

Su Ping looked down at him and said, “That depends on whether or not you’re smart. Besides, I didn’t say I’d spare you. I’ll kill you if you make me uncomfortable.”

Brian was stunned and silenced.

A moment later, he quietly canceled his contract with the ultimate treasure.

The golden flag flew towards him soon after; the restraint over the shield was lifted.

Su Ping quickly grabbed the golden flag and the shield.

Shuai Qianhou was rather regretful as he saw that happen. He had already been prepared for the possibility of Brian killing Su Ping; he was going to fight for the ultimate treasures.

However, the opportunity was gone.

Shuai Qianhou felt angry and jealous, given that Su Ping had received two ultimate treasures. He was fine with losing an ultimate treasure to him over a rock, paper and scissors game, as he thought that he would get it back sooner or later. However, Su Ping was surpringly able to defeat Brian.

That senior brother of his was truly unbelievable!

“Junior brother, were you hurt?” Su Ping greeted Shuai Qianhou after seeing him.

Shuai Qianhou’s lips twitched; the greeting sounded rather insincere from every perspective.

“Senior Brother Su, congratulations on getting two ultimate treasures. Can you share one of them? We’ll continue looting to find the rest,” said Shuai Qianhou in earnest with a big warm smile.

Su Ping said in a concerned tone, “The ultimate treasures are too powerful. Junior brother, you’re too inexperienced to fully bring out their power. Let me take care of them.”

What the.

Shuai Qianhou felt like cursing.

However, he knew that Su Ping wouldn’t give the ultimate treasures away; after all, there were only twelve in total. The golden flag and the shield were so powerful that Su Ping was probably able to defeat anyone from any star zone at the moment.

“Tm truly surprised, you defeated Brian who has been famous since tens of thousands of years ago, senior brother. You must’ve grasped two perfect supreme laws, right? Or maybe three?” Shuai Qianhou asked respectfully, with the same smile on his face.

Brian couldn’t help but look at Shuai Qianhou after hearing that.

He put on a strange expression. It seemed that the so-called junior brother didn’t know the truth about his senior brother yet.

“No. Brother Brian was accidentally hurt by something while in deep space. That’s why I was able to beat him,” said Su Ping while chuckling.

Shuai Qianhou felt like rolling his eyes.

Do you take me for a three-year-old?

He simply stopped asking and cupped his hands, knowing he wouldn’t get any information out of Su Ping. “Senior brother, I’m sure you’ll get the key with the help of the two ultimate treasures. I’m suddenly in the mood of enjoying a hot spring. See you later, Senior Brother Su!”

He then escaped into a deep space and disappeared.

Su Ping watched Shuai Qianhou flee, and could only shake his head with a smile. Am I that scary?The man escaped through the seventh space using his perfect spatial path.

He could understand the latter, though. The man didn’t have a chance of winning against two ultimate treasures; he was probably scared of being killed.

“So, why did you have to show paper?”

Su Ping looked around, only to see that nobody was around except the dozen Star Lords who had grasped perfect laws. Only blood, items to loot and battle ruins remained.

Immediately after, Su Ping threw Brian down and said, “Take care of your injuries. Have some oranges. I’ll be back.”

Brian: “??2”

The latter watched him leave, while trying to puzzle things out. Why did Su Ping ask him to have oranges? Still, it was a surprise that Su Ping had chosen to spare his life.

‘Was Su Ping confident of finding the key, getting the legacy, and reaching the Celestial State?

‘Was that why he wasn’t afraid of any retaliation?

“It’s true that all geniuses are excellent and confident!” Brian’s eyes glittered. In any case, he had survived through the ordeal; this meant there was still hope in him.

Without further thought, he took out medications from his storage and healed his wounds.

Su Ping wandered for a while, and picked up the nearby loot. Then, he returned to where Brian was and asked, “How many tokens have you found?”

Brian opened his eyes. He had recovered a little bit, as he was no longer breathing heavily. “Sixteen; ten from our star zone and six we found here. But I gave some away to ensure the others’ loyalty. I only have three tokens left.”

Su Ping nodded. It would be pointless to have more tokens; one token each was already good enough.

Besides, they were very likely cores of the fruits Celestials had eaten.

Su Ping almost wanted to throw them away upon thinking that there might still be saliva on the cores.

He cursed the Celestials for littering and later asking them to search and fight for their garbage.

“Let’s go elsewhere,” said Su Ping.

Brian nodded. He rose and followed.

He then looked at Su Ping and hesitated for a moment, but didn’t say anything in the end.

Su Ping moved in the void along with Brian while using Void Walker. They soon left the battlefield and stopped in a valley.

Su Ping stopped. “Let’s take a break here.”

Brian was surprised. “You have two ultimate treasures already. Aren’t you going to look for the key?”

“We can get the ultimate treasures first and then find the key.”

Brian finally realized why Su Ping and Shuai Qianhou had attacked him; they were only looking for the ultimate treasures.

“Aren’t you going to look for others? Right now, the candidates of other star zones should be working alone; you can easily crush them with your two ultimate treasures and your own strength. You will surely become the winner of the first test then,” said Brian.

“You need to recover. I don’t want to bring a liability with me,” said Su Ping.

Brian was stunned. Is he doing it for my sake?

Su Ping didn’t say anything else. He summoned the Little Skeleton and the Dark Dragon Hound, both of which were good at survival; the Inferno Dragon wasn’t as good in that aspect.

Su Ping asked the two pets to stay on guard. He also set up a barrier.

The battle against Brian made Su Ping realize how weak he was. He also witnessed the combat ability of some of the top Star Lords in the universe.

He wasn’t sure whether or not there were stronger people in other star zones. But, Su Ping thought that the most important thing—except for fighting for the ultimate treasures—was to cultivate the eighth Astral Painting and a third small world. Then, he would be able to beat anyone.

The central continent would only be open for a month; ten days had passed, and there were twenty days to go.

Under normal circumstances, twenty days wouldn’t be enough for him to condense the eighth Astral Painting and the third small world. However, he could use the law of time and slow down the flow of time by a hundred fold.

Su Ping then released his shield to protect himself.

He did not care about Brian. It was fine even if the man wanted to escape, as he wasn’t a threat without an ultimate treasure.

Su Ping wasn’t afraid that news of his second world was leaked, either; some trump cards would be rendered ineffective after exposure, but not that one.

It couldn’t be handled even if it were to be known.

Besides, he would be further strengthened by the time he condensed his third small world. He would probably be able to kill Brian instantly.

Seeing what Su Ping was doing, Brian couldn’t help but ask, “You’re going to train in seclusion?”

Su Ping nodded. “Seize the time to treat your wounds. If you want to go, be my guest.”

Brian was stunned. The urge to ask was too strong. “Aren’t you afraid that I would tell everybody about your secret?”

“The sun illuminates space and never hides its light,” said Su Ping.

After a moment of silence, Brian asked the question that he had been hesitating to pose, “Did your master teach you how to build the other small world?”

“No.”

Brian was rather shocked, but he didn’t ask any further; additional questions would touch upon his secrets.

Peeping into someone else’s private matters could be very dangerous for him.

“Master said that the universe will be met with an unknown danger in the near future.”

Su Ping glanced at Brian continued, “Maybe I’ll teach you the cultivation technique after the trial is over. However, even if you do know the technique, it would still be extremely difficult to cultivate a second small world..”
