Astral Pet Store Chapter 1572: Prayer of the People (1)

With an emotionless face, the Ultimate Heavenly Dao stared at the twenty-four conquered Heavenly Palaces. "You are truly superior to the earlier two puppets. Yet, you remain nothing but a mere chess piece."

"This isn't over!"

A chilling madness filled Su Ping's eyes. A massive chaotic aura erupted from him, pulling in nearby power with even greater frenzy. The strength channeled via the contract from every expert across the cultivation sites and every species intensified and gathered upon Su Ping.

The contract did bind them, yet his body's constraints had prevented him from harnessing their full might simultaneously.

But those constraints shattered once more.

Inside Su Ping's body, the three Chaos Qualifications fully merged, triggering a profound transformation. He had essentially transcended the Sorcerer Ancestor level, ascending to an entirely new realm.

"Gods, demons, deities…"

All species' powers from every cultivation site converged on Su Ping's form. The influx of energy acted with purpose, building up a never-before-seen might.

Before, they had resisted the Heavenly Dao as one, yet clan rivalries and familial conflicts stopped them from truly uniting.

The gods' haughtiness, deities' iciness, demons' viciousness, humanity's cunning, beasts' brutality… Each group carried its own flaws, clashing irreconcilably. Thus, Sorcerer Ancestors used them merely as instruments and kindling, forcing passive contributions of power.

Now, for the first time, Su Ping's will bridged them into a solid alliance.

Diverse attribute powers focused within him, converting to chaos power. The three evolving Chaos Qualifications enabled him to assimilate all those varied essences concurrently.

From the feeblest to Undying State powerhouses.

The cost: the Inferno Dragon and Little Skeleton forsaking their Chaos Qualifications and marching toward oblivion!

Bang!

The brilliant sword manifested anew, hacking onward from the 24th Heavenly Palace. Great Daos merged into a Sword of Judgment, carving straight through to the 28th Heavenly Palace.

"So close!"

A grim look crossed the Golden Crow ancestor's face, but he resolved swiftly. Radiant brilliance burst from him, revealing his Chaos Qualification.

He opted to surrender his power to Su Ping, forsaking his Sorcerer Ancestor rank!

The contract already united them, but yielding the Chaos Qualification truly changed everything.

The crow ancestor had scorched his life force for ultimate power output. For Sorcerer Ancestors, however, life was an ethereal notion without end; mere repose restored them to prime with Chaos Qualification aid.

This choice sealed his retreat utterly.

True death now loomed for him!

"Ancestor!"

Shock rippled through the Golden Crows, Chief Elder included, as they witnessed the scene.

They could ignite their lives and perish, but not their ancestor.

With their ancestor surviving, he could spawn Golden Crows at will.

His gamble hurled their clan's destiny onto that youth!

Receiving the Chaos Qualification shook Su Ping deeply—it stunned him. He looked at the Golden Crow ancestor and met a smile.

No words passed, yet all was conveyed.

Su Ping grasped the ancestor's resolve. Clenching his teeth, he drew in the Chaos Qualification, blending it with the three already merged inside him.

Blazing energy radiated from his frame. Golden flames danced across him like plumage, bearing wrath and savagery to obliterate all.

With the Chaos Qualification absorbed, Su Ping commanded even vaster power—nearly ten advanced cultivation sites.

"What a lunatic!"

Yin Que, Shi Mang, and fellow Sorcerer Ancestors gasped at the crow ancestor's move. He had truly cut off his escape!

"So brutal," Shi Mang remarked with a wry smile.

Eyes blazing like torches, the Golden Crow ancestor declared, "I only want to see if the sword can cut his head!"

"I will go with you!" came a sudden voice.

Hao Tian surrendered his Chaos Qualification as well. Majestic like a holy deity, aggression surged in his gaze. "I'm not interested in this boring eternity!"

"You've both lost your minds!" Yin Que exclaimed, face etched with worry.

"Count me in too," Hei Xiang chuckled, "It would be pointless to me if chaos is restarted and it doesn't look like how it is right now."

His Chaos Qualification rose from his body and soared to Su Ping.

With two more Chaos Qualifications, Su Ping held six. His form twisted bizarrely, expanding without bound. From mythical beast, he became an immense misty nebula. Beyond Sorcerer Ancestor, he evolved into something unprecedented.

In that form, Su Ping's size knew no bounds. One thought could gulp a grand universe; another shrink him to dust.

Should he desire, hundreds of grand universes could fit inside him. Boundless voids filled each pore. Every strand of hair could cleave suns and puncture universes!

"I was too merciful before!"
