Astral Pet Store Chapter 1574: Prayer of the People (3)
Previously on Astral Pet Store...
This feat was made possible by the system's body.
The system's voice resounded within Su Ping's mind. "Stay cautious; those Heavenly Palaces merely represent the natural might of his physique. He wields three horrifying techniques. The first is the Spear of Judgment… What you witnessed moments ago was only its rudimentary shape. The second is the Dao Body of All Lives. The most dreadful of all is the Wish of the People!"
This scene evoked memories of past visits to cultivation sites, where Su Ping trained under the system's instructions.
Su Ping was stunned by the disclosure. That devastating lightning spear turned out to be just the basic version? The thirty-three Heavenly Palaces, which the collective power of all people could scarcely breach, were simply innate manifestations. The Ultimate Heavenly Dao's terror defied comprehension.
Su Ping drew in a deep breath, refusing to falter even slightly.
"It's not impossible for me to overcome him!"
Su Ping unleashed his contract power. From the inhabitants of cultivation sites to beings across countless universes—their strength flooded into him. He had grown powerful enough to harness the might of all humanity.
Bang!
A fearsome sword aura erupted forth, yet it was halted by the Ultimate Heavenly Dao. His form had transformed bizarrely, radiating a radiant and divine glow. His body resembled unbreakable porcelain.
Recalling the system's earlier words, Su Ping recognized it as the Dao Body of All Lives.
Even with his enhanced might, he could only inflict a minor wound.
Meanwhile, crackling with lightning, the Spear of Judgment unleashed a cataclysmic aura capable of annihilating worlds.
The space around the spear twisted into chaos, spawning voids everywhere. It resembled the Channel of Reincarnation, ablaze with thunderbolts.
The Heavenly Dao's ultimate assault fully materialized in that instant.
Su Ping sensed his body beginning to stiffen, heightening his alarm. Unwilling to take risks, he rapidly extended his contract power across myriad dimensions.
"Join my realm, all of you!" Su Ping murmured.
In a flash, a warped passage tore open in the void behind him.
Colossal universes emerged, surging through the passage.
Some universes lay shattered and barren, others punctured like swiss cheese, while a few appeared half-devoured like bitten fruits.
These were the vast realms housing myriad species, forged from primordial chaos.
Each grand universe possessed its own awareness. Through his recollections as a bridge, Su Ping summoned them.
"That's… our home!"
"The Archean Divinity!"
"The Chaotic Realm of the Undead!"
"That's… the Federation!"
Aboard the warships trailing Su Ping, and dwelling within universes shaped by his will—the denizens from cultivation sites and distant universes beheld the incoming realms.
These enormous cosmic domains seemed like fragile glass orbs compared to Su Ping's current stature.
He could expand further if desired, rendering those grand universes mere specks of dust. Yet such growth proved unnecessary.
On one warship, Shen Huang and fellow Celestials, nearly exhausting their final life essence, spotted the Federation's universe with its faint fissure. The nostalgic energy welled tears in their eyes.
They never imagined glimpsing their homeland just before the end.
"Having beheld our home once more… we can perish without regrets," sighed an Undying State powerhouse.
"Regrettably, we couldn't safeguard the Archean Divinity properly." Members of the Heaven Path Institute and elite clans gazed mournfully at the broken Archean Divinity.
This was the true Archean Divinity—not the pristine version Su Ping knew from cultivation sites. Invaded by the Heavenly Dao, its continents lay in ruins, the cosmos a honeycomb of perforations. The destruction was utter.
Su Ping continued calling forth more universes, which hovered behind him. As contract power linked them, their wills bonded with his consciousness.
Certain universes radiated serenity; others lingered in agony, while some brimmed with furious slaughter intent. In that fleeting instant, Su Ping grasped their histories.
From genesis to extinction, the sagas of innumerable beings across those universes echoed in Su Ping's soul.
The Heavenly Dao had carved their deepest scars.
"Perish!!" Su Ping bellowed.
Amassing the strength of numerous grand universes, Su Ping eclipsed every entity from the cultivation sites. He hoisted his sword and unleashed a ferocious slash. A deafening explosion rang out; the sword aura cleaved through the lightning sea, slamming into the Ultimate Heavenly Dao's form.
Cracks resounded. The porcelain-sacred Dao Body of All Lives shattered under the devastating blow. No blood flowed; only chaotic essence surged wildly.
The system watched in astonishment and thrill at the strike's impact. "To think you devised this strategy…"
She realized Su Ping now surpassed even her peak.
By uniting the power of people and universes, Su Ping could finally contend with the Ultimate Heavenly Dao.
"He's merged with the Chaos Core. Not all his strength can be tapped right away. Seize this moment!" The system astutely detected the Ultimate Heavenly Dao's anomaly. He could have obliterated Su Ping instantly, yet refrained. As Su Ping's power swelled, the foe merely resisted desperately. This revealed much.
"Victory is possible! We can take him down with us!" The system's lifeless heart flared anew. An profound emotion stirred within—like human感動. Miracles held no sway for her; only inevitabilities existed.
