Astral Pet Store Chapter 928 - Peak of the Star State

Chapter 928: Peak of the Star State

“What’s that dragon? I’ve never seen it before!”
“He’s only strong enough to contract early Star State pets. Even so, it must be a rare dragon with extraordinary potential!”
None of the observers recognized the dragon; it was obviously a hybrid still to be recorded in the Federation. It would be impossible to infer its abilities.
Boom!
The gray dragon’s body was suddenly constricted after all the other dragons flew into its mouth. At the same time—Dragon Shepard canceled the fusion with his pet, and the latter also flew into the gray dragon’s mouth.
The scales on the gray dragon instantly glowed like stars.
Its body quickly changed and then merged with Dragon Shepard.
A giant a dozen meters tall made an appearance in the blink of an eye, overflowing with energy. It was covered in scales; there were dazzling spots of light on its chest, arms, neck and forehead.
On the opposite side—the bald monk frowned and asked, “Is sacrificing all your pets worth it, just for one victory?”
Dragon Shepard sneered; there were pointy scales on his cheeks. “Sacrifice? You’re overestimating yourself. However, you should feel proud, since you’ve forced me to activate this worm!”
After that, he made a quick move and punched.
Boom!
The void trembled; horrifying waves surged as if dozens of nuclear bombs would have exploded at the same time. A daunting fist aura crushed the void and fell on top of the monk’s head.
“I don’t overestimate myself.” Six Lives Buddha shook his head.
The four supreme laws were not to be challenged.
He emanated golden light, as if he were truly a Buddha reborn. Clear and brilliant light circulated around him, while time and space changed in his hands.
Not just the laws of time; the laws of space had also been grasped to perfection.
He simply stopped the attacks as they arrived by leveraging time and space, transferring them to another time, for instance, ten minutes earlier.
This meant that the attack wouldn’t truly hit him until ten minutes later.
None of the attacks existed at the moment.
“Break now!” Dragon Shepard roared. His scale-covered cheeks became hideous. He roared, “My path and my power will be etched in the depths of the universe. Your time and space can’t imprison me!”
A murky, yet horrifying power of laws was pushed and released through the violent astral power in his body.
The spots of light on his body became even more brilliant while he was on a rampage, changing into a new formation that further strengthened him; it was an aggressive formation that abandoned all defense.
Boom!!
A horrifying and aggressive power burst out; cracking noises came from the void.
The power and fist auras that had vanished earlier reappeared; they were still shadows, but they were becoming increasingly real, as if they were returning from nothingness!
The monk’s face revealed shock, obviously not expecting that anyone would be able to break his path of time and space with physical strength alone. What kind of power could exceed time and space?
Would a Fate State warrior really be capable of controlling such power?
“You’re very strong!”
The monk’s eyes became cold and sharp. A pet suddenly appeared next to him; it resembled a colorful butterfly, while its size wasn’t really big. It quickly melted into his body and merged with him.
It was just then when everybody realized that the man had not used any of his pets yet!
“The path of time and space is truly horrifying.”
“Is it the ultimate law of time? He suppressed Dragon Shepard and his full lineup of dragons with his own strength!”
“Terrifying! Why haven’t I grasped such a law yet? I’m truly stupid! Ugh!!!”
A lot of geniuses were shocked, regretful, jealous and helpless.
The Ascendant experts who had shown up to watch the battle were also surprised, since none of them was able to predict the outcome of the battle. Even they couldn’t tell which of the two kids was stronger. Going by logic, the path of time and space would be enough to guarantee victory, but Dragon Shepard’s outburst was powerful too, being enough to dispel its influence.
Both of them were monsters!
“These people…”
Diaz became solemn. He had only respected three opponents before then, including Su Ping. However, those two fighters here were also tricky to deal with.
He wasn’t confident of defeating them if he was asked to fight any of them.
Could his Reincarnation Divine Constitution weather through the path of time and space?
“Freeze!”
On the battlefield—
The bald monk became indifferent again and recited sutra after merging with the colorful butterfly.
In the next moment, the shadows of fist auras fell silent, and the aura of another time and space was sealed and gone, as if it had never been there.
“Break!”
The monk changed again.
After a boom, Dragon Shepard was punched heavily right in the chest. His ribs were broken!
The punch was so heavy that his body was barely able to endure, even though he was as sturdy as metal.
However, nobody saw Six Lives Buddha attack.
Someone realized what had happened and felt shocked. “That attack was launched in another time, not right now. Is this how the law of time is used? That’s cheating!”
The other geniuses were lost for words. Everybody fell silent.
“Admit defeat, or you will die with my next strike!” The monk showed a purple dagger in his hand. It wasn’t really eye-catching, but it gave off a truly dangerous aura.
Dragon Shepard had just overcome the pain on his chest. He narrowed his eyes when he heard that statement and saw the dagger, but he soon gritted his teeth and sneered. “Admit defeat? I don’t even know what ‘defeat’ means. My name is bound to echo throughout the universe!
He roared suddenly, “You are not qualified to make me yield!” All of his hairs stood up, then he charged at the monk with his eyes radiating golden light.
“Just go to hell if you’re unwilling to admit defeat!”
The monk was indifferent and unsympathetic; unrestrained benevolence would only lead to evil ways. It was time to end it!
Whoosh!
A metallic noise was heard. The dagger in the monk’s hand was gone; he was surprised.
Dragon Shepard, however, had caught the dagger with his mouth and was biting hard. He also saw that there was an arm holding its handle!
“I see it! I see you!”
The madness in Dragon Shepard’s eyes was replaced by coldness; there was blood on his fingertips. He bit the dagger with sharp dragon fangs and said, “Baldy, time isn’t invincible. There are some powers that cannot be frozen in time!”
Pff!
The monk’s arm holding the dagger exploded all of a sudden; it sprayed blood, then fell off and disappeared.
The scene had left everyone in shock.?What just happened?
Some of the Ascendant experts realized what had happened after being momentarily stunned. They looked at Dragon Shepard in shock, knowing he had heavily wounded the Six Lives Buddha from another time who launched the last attack. That alone could have led to the fracture of the monk’s arm in reality.
Bang!
Dragon Shepard reached for the dagger in his mouth and licked it. While squeezing the broken arm behind the dagger, he said, “I support this place with the backbone of a dragon. Time and space are both in my arms; my name cannot be buried in space. It’s now time to quit the battle if you don’t have any other methods to attack!”
He quickly flew over; his scales were dazzling. He punched down with his fist aura.
Six Lives Buddha gazed at him coldly and said, “You’ve already won by forcing me to use this move!”
He continued to stand in the same place, even though the shocking strike was approaching. His severed arm was quickly regenerated.
His aura, however, was soaring at a crazy rate at the moment!
His energy stormed out like an awakened beast, soon rising to the peak of the Fate State. Then, he surpassed it and reached the peak of the Star State!
He was currently a Star State warrior!
“What?”
The scene shocked all the observers.
Did Six Lives Buddha break through on the battlefield?
No, that’s impossible. There would have been a Heavenly Tribulation if it were so!
“Is he at the peak of the Star State? Impossible! That’s cheating!” a genius couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.
Diaz and Su Jin’er were also shocked.?Is it cheating??They didn’t think so, but there was no other explanation.
Someone looked at the palace, but none of the Celestials came out.
The Ascendants frowned, thinking about a possible reason.
That was Six Lives Buddha’s technique!
What a horrifying path of time and space!
“You!!”
Dragon Shepard seemed to be confused as he faced the monk, who had suddenly risen to the peak of the Star State; the thought of the latter cheating did cross his mind. However, he realized it was ten times more difficult to cheat under the noses of Celestials in order to win the championship!
What kind of method was that?
Is it a secret technique?
He had no time to think, as he was attacking with his full strength. Six Lives Buddha raised his hand too, using nothing but his physical strength!
Boom!!!
Two fist auras collided in the void. The spaces close to the battlefield began to collapse layer by layer; even the air was vaporized.
Dragon Shepard was trembling; several bones were broken. He vomited blood, flying back with heavy wounds.
Six Lives Buddha, on the other hand, only took two steps back to offset the counterforce. He then gave a cold look at Dragon Shepard and attacked him.
Dragon Shepard quickly regained his balance. He furiously gritted his teeth as he watched the other man approaching with horrifying power; there was madness and grief in his eyes. “You deserve to die!”
Bang!!
One of the spots of light in his body was suddenly ignited, glowing like a super powerful flashlight.
Following that, a few more spots burst out.
There were five spots altogether, dazzling at the same time.
His aura soared simultaneously, at an appalling rate. His eyes were already bloodshot as he madly charged at the monk.
Bang, bang, bang!!!
Their fight traversed every part of the void, and yet, they were nowhere to be seen. Only the collapsed spaces—which looked like inky flowers—could be seen in the void.
“Are they really in the Fate State?”
“Oh my god, now I feel fortunate to have been eliminated.”
“Would we have to fight similar monsters if we survived to the end? Even Star State warriors would have been immediately crushed!”
“Seriously? I feel that both of them have the potential to become the champion!”
“What’s with Six Lives Buddha’s level? No Celestial State expert has shown up yet; he can’t be cheating.”
Everyone seemed to be in shock while they discussed.
The battle had refreshed their understanding of the Fate State; such warriors were strong enough to defeat any Star State expert!
Even the experienced guys at the peak of the Star State would be no match for them!
Su Ping was silent. The universe was truly a large place with a lot of geniuses. He had the system’s help and he had trained with a vengeance, but those geniuses belonged to powerful organizations, and they had a hefty amount of luck.
“They’re so strong,” Su Jin’er remarked.
She was almost losing confidence in herself. She had originally thought that she could easily make it to the top ten with her reincarnation; her plan was to avoid the championship to keep a low profile. However, it was already lucky enough for her to reach the top ten!
She had noticed that a few more contestants were also reincarnations, but they had already been eliminated.
All those reincarnations had Ascendant State potential, but they weren’t as good as real geniuses such as Su Ping, who would become Heavenly Lords when they reached the Ascendant State!
None of the Heavenly Lords had taken part in the contest.
After all, the prizes weren’t tempting enough for them.
It would have been possible for the Heavenly Lords’ reincarnations to defeat them if it were otherwise.
Boom!
There was a loud explosion; Dragon Shepard and Six Lives Buddha revealed themselves on the battlefield and then separated.
To everyone’s astonishment, Dragon Shepard was covered in blood, heavily wounded. He had shown his strength by cutting off one of Six Lives Buddha’s arms earlier on, but then he ended up being utterly miserable in the blink of an eye.
On the other hand, Six Lives Buddha wasn’t wounded, but he had a gloomy look while breathing heavily.
“You’ve sacrificed your pets; you’d surely lose the next match, even if you win this one. Do you want to continue?” asked the gloomy Six Lives Buddha.
“I don’t believe you can remain like this!” Dragon Shepard’s eyes were bloodshot; two more spots of light glowed on his body, giving him even more power.
“Your pets are pathetic!” Without further ado, Six Lives Buddha became cold as he attacked again.
