Astral Pet Store Chapter 1573: Prayer of the People (2)

The spear's mere presence filled onlookers with endless sharpness, as if they were being impaled despite the distance of hundreds of universes.    

Terror seized them so hard that they retched at the mere sight.    

"Come on!!" Su Ping bellowed. Right now, he had no mind for other thoughts; rivers of blood had flowed, the world shattered, and billions of species perished. He yearned only to conclude it all.    

Even in defeat, he would ignite his final drop of blood!    

This ferocious sword aura carried the might of six Chaos Qualifications, bolstered by the strength of masters from a hundred advanced cultivation sites and thousands more. It mimicked the crash of two thousand universes, potent enough to stun a Sorcerer Ancestor senseless.    

The restored Heavenly Palaces crumbled apart. The relentless sword utterly demolished the thirty-three Heavenly Palaces forever!    

Bang!    

The blade slashed the Ultimate Heavenly Dao's shoulder, lopping off his arm.    

Icy killing intent surfaced on the Ultimate Heavenly Dao's face. The menacing lightning spear thrust forward in a blink.    

Su Ping's heart abruptly stuttered. Everything nearby froze solid. Even his body's power got sealed away; he resembled a helpless mortal in a blizzard, arrows assaulting from every angle!    

Is this… the true divide?    

Though he surpassed any Sorcerer Ancestor by far, Su Ping never imagined failure and death loomed inescapably!    

Frustration! Fury!    

Sadness.    

"In the end, I couldn't save you…"    

A deafening boom rang out—a mighty shockwave surged past, and a figure materialized before Su Ping. It was the Mother of Chaos herself.    

A gleaming crystal lay in her palm, repelling the horrifying lightning spear like an unbreakable shield.    

Su Ping identified it at once, akin to a Dao Crystal but radiating a profoundly unique aura.    

A Chaos Core fragment…    

The Ultimate Heavenly Dao's face darkened at the sight of the crystal. Born from the Chaos Core, the Mother of Chaos had seen this piece detach at her birth. It ranked as chaos's supreme weapon.    

"With everything coming to this point, I'll finish the last part of this journey with you. It will also be the last journey of our lives," the Mother of Chaos declared, gazing at Su Ping.    

Helplessness mingled with tenderness in her eyes.    

Stunned briefly, Su Ping grinned and replied, "Let's go together, then. The Little Skeleton and the others are waiting for us."    

The Mother of Chaos smiled in return. Time hadn't faded her smile, her beauty eternally preserved. "Let's not keep them waiting, my host."    

As she spoke, she dissolved into radiant light, wrapping around Su Ping.        

Her power enveloped Su Ping, warm and familiar, transmitting emotions words couldn't capture. He knew then his choice was right. Some bonds and affections defied abandonment.    

After over ten thousand years together, they stood as the closest companions.    

"Since you acknowledged me as your master in this life, I will protect you with my own!" Su Ping murmured softly with a smile. No more words needed; the system had returned.    

She was no longer the Mother of Chaos right then.    

Only the cheeky system that had stuck with him for ages remained.    

Boom!    

Within Su Ping's body, myriad universes seemed to erupt. An inconceivable, horrifying power surged out.    

"Mother…"    

Yin Que and the other Sorcerer Ancestors reeled in shock from her choice.    

They grasped that their mother had forsaken chaos's most exalted role to become Su Ping's pet. Beyond a mere contract link, she fully yielded as his support, him the absolute master. She surrendered her entire self, preserving just her consciousness.    

It wasn't abandonment; she granted it all to Su Ping.    

Su Ping inherited every bit of her prior essence and strength.    

With the Mother of Chaos's form and six Chaos Qualifications under his command, Su Ping wielded unmatched power. Only now did he comprehend the system's past prowess.    

"Looks like all of you are terribly ill!" the Ultimate Heavenly Dao snarled, eyes frozen cold. "I can just finish you off once and for all, so that there won't be any residue when chaos is restarted!"    

The lightning spear whirled faster, drawing in endless bolts. At the same time, the remaining Heavenly Dao forces merged rapidly into several Chaos Heavens.    

These new allies sped toward the Ultimate Heavenly Dao and blended into him.    

As Su Ping adjusted to the system's form and eyed the Ultimate Heavenly Dao's true body, he recalled the other figures were mere clones to manage his surplus power.    

The archfoe turned even more dreadful with the Chaos Heavens merging.    

"It's time to do it!"    

Su Ping quickly mastered the system's body and charged the Ultimate Heavenly Dao without delay.    

Bang!    

Sword aura blazed. The full Ancestral Land of Chaos looked cleaved in half. The thirty-three Heavenly Palaces shielding the Ultimate Heavenly Dao detonated the instant they reformed.
