Astral Pet Store Chapter 491 - Renouncing the World Splendidly

Chapter 491 Renouncing the World Splendidly

Su Ping was not surprised after witnessing how the old man of the Qin family began to reveal his legendary rank strength. It had cleared up his confusion.

Su Ping was thinking that something was off when the Golden Dragon suddenly burst out that energy blast. Titled battle pet warriors could share energy with their pets but that could still not explain the sudden enhancement of the Golden Dragon!

Finally, the answer was right in front of him. The old man was hiding the fact that he was at the legendary rank, and that he had been sharing his astral powers with the Golden Dragon. That was why the Golden Dragon had been able to demonstrate unusual powers.

Legendary rank... So what? Su Ping was not scared. Rather, he was quite eager to teach the old man a lesson. Not caring about the prizes? Wanting nothing but to kill him?

If so, Su Ping decided that he would also have to kill the old man regardless of the rules!

A battle that started with hatred shall end with death!

“What makes you think you can do it?” The old man of the Qin family turned livid with rage when Su Ping said those words. Senior Yan, who was about to step in and stop the fight, was taken aback. Why is this guy not giving up after finding out that he was fighting against a legendary battle pet warrior?!

The onlookers stared in disbelief.

They came to understand why Su Ping was so arrogant before. Compared with the other titled battle pet warriors, he had every right to act that way. But this is a legendary battle pet warrior! The difference between the legendary rank and the titled rank was even larger than that between beasts of the ninth rank and beast kings! The legendary battle pet warrior’s astral powers were ten times richer than those of a titled battle pet warrior! With one though, a legendary battle pet warrior would be able to lock down the void and kill a titled battle pet warrior directly. That was a fact!

“Lunatic!” Master Mo could not help but comment.

It never occurred to God of Earth and God of Blood that Su Ping would be so stubborn as to not give up when facing a legendary battle pet warrior. Even those two were only qualified to run errands for the legendary battle pet warriors!

“You won’t leave here breathing!” The old man of the Qin family glared at Su Ping sharply. Humiliating a legendary battle pet warrior was reason enough to cut Su Ping into pieces! Boom! His whole momentum suddenly soared. Since he had shown his legendary-rank strength, he wasn’t planning to hide it anymore. The astral powers accumulated in his body for many years were now released to their fullest, sweeping across the stadium like tides in the ocean. Even those who were sitting close to the seal were able to feel as if they were carrying a huge mountain on their shoulders! A legendary battle pet warrior! The sovereign descended to the world!

The Qin ancestor’s white hair danced in the wind and his face was as smooth as jade. He put one hand behind his back and pinched at Su Ping across space! “Go to hell!”

He uttered the words in a gloomy tone. The astral powers were converging in the void; the old man was robbing and controlling all the astral powers in the air, creating surges that pressed against each other, making a muffled noise.

Being such the case, a titled battle pet warrior would no longer be able to draw astral powers from the exterior and would no longer be able to fly across space! However, Su Ping was just eyeing the old man with disdain.

Boom!

The astral powers were making a crackling sound as the old man pressed them together Su Ping’s hair was stirred up but he wasn’t affected at all!

The onlookers had been stunned after seeing that the virtual dragon had fended off the old man’s strike!

The virtual dragon had been able to stop the Golden Dragon and the Bloody Servant. But it was outrageous to find that it could even stop the old man who was at the legendary rank! What kind of skill is that! The ancestor was startled to see that his effort was futile. It was completely against his expectation; the virtual image was too sturdy. “Energy synchronization!” All of his battle pets, including the Demon Stone Toad, were sharing their energy with the old man of the Qin family. The energy from all those battle pets of the ninth rank and his beast king were gathering inside him. His strength was increasing. He was approaching the breakthrough he desired! “Break!” he said.

Crack!

A crack appeared on the virtual dragon shield. Realizing it was working, the old man of the Qin family exerted even more strength. He was grimacing due to the effort. Bang! The virtual dragon shield exploded! The moment that the almost unbreakable shield was destroyed, the old man teleported from the spot without any hesitation! Whoosh!

The old man reached Su Ping and stared down at the latter like a god of war! “Continue your resentment in hell!” the old man said coldly. He punched at Su Ping. The disdain in Su Ping’s eyes became more obvious.

The moment the old man’s fist was about to land on his face

Roar!!

Suddenly, a figure jumped at the old man from the side, yelling furiously. The old man dodged and stood up in the air, only to see that the dragon hound he had punched to the ground was standing in front of Su Ping. “That was fast. This pet...”

The old man was greatly shaken. The pet was so fast that even he had been caught off guard! Too fast! The pet had not displayed its full strength when it was fighting the Demon Stone Toad! Horrific! The old man was thrilled. The pet was not a beast king and yet it could defeat the Demon Stone Toad. There must be some secret about the pet! “Now that I won’t have the luck to get the prizes, make it up for me with this battle pet of yours!” The old man was seized with his urge to kill Su Ping. He teleported to a spot behind Su Ping. Without wasting any second talking, he punched at Su Ping’s head! Bang! A shield appeared and resisted the punch. Again, the virtual dragon! “Don’t worry about me. Just attack!” Su Ping said to his dog. He had the artifact that the old dragon king had given him. That legendary battle pet warrior was not at the Void State. He would never be able to kill Su Ping!

The old man was livid with rage after seeing his strike being rendered ineffective again. That defensive mechanism turned out to be more troublesome than he had expected. “Damn you!” The old man teleported back to where the Demon Stone Toad was. He had used his legendary power and was still unable to subdue Su Ping. He didn’t look good at the moment. The onlookers could barely keep their mouths shut.

Su Ping was not losing in a fight against a legendary battle pet warrior! This battle was quite an eye-opener. There was nothing about the pet that indicated it was a beast king and yet it was even more terrifying than a real beast king! The old man took a deep breath and clenched his fist. He never thought that he would have to exert his full strength just to battle a titled warrior!

What a shame! The rage and hatred in his mind did not blur his judgment, though. He decided his next move at once. “Merge!” Merging with their battle pets was a unique skill exclusive to legendary battle pet warriors! The person would become one with the battle pet. It wasn’t a simple addition. The person could grow several times more powerful! That was where the legendary battle pet warriors truly excelled in. That was the actual difference between the legendary and the titled ranks!

Moo!!

The injured Demon Stone Toad suddenly let out a noise like a cow mooing. Following that, it turned into a pool of liquid; it covered up the old man with a dark glow. Su Ping raised his eyebrows as he watched the merging. He had thought that the old man was going to summon another battle pet. But judging by the looks of it, the Demon Stone Toad was his only beast king. That was it?

Su Ping looked at the Dark Dragon Hound. He made up his mind after a moment of hesitation.

In no case shall he belittle his enemy! He was ready to undo the dog’s seal! Undoing one of the seals! When the old dragon king finished passing on its legacy, it cast nine seals on the dog in case the dog would develop too quickly that Su Ping would no longer be able to control it. With the first seal undone, the dog could climb to the eighth rank!

Removing the second seal could send the dog to the ninth rank!

It would become a beast king after the third seal was undone!

Given the fact that Su Ping was unable to sign a pet contract with a beast king yet, the third seal could not be removed yet. He could only remove the first two at best.

But Su Ping decided to undo just one because he felt that it should be enough! After all, with two seals removed, the dog would get to the ninth rank, and training it would turn out to be quite hard. He would only consider removing the second one if the first one didn’t do the trick later.

“Break!”

A golden glow flickered in his eyes. An ancient and intricate golden image flashed on his forehead. As it passed down through the contract, his power broke the first of the nine seals that were inside the Dark Dragon Hound!

Phew!

A strand of immense power was spread out from the Dark Dragon Hound. Something that had been locked up was being unleashed. The Dark Dragon Hound trembled and raised its cry into the air!

Freedom!

It had never felt so free before! Endless energy was surging and flowing inside its body! It was climbing up the ranks! Soon, it reached the eighth rank! The peak of the eighth rank! As the seal was removed, apart from the increase in strength, more memory fragments were added to the Dark Dragon Hound’s mind, including other inherent skills of the Heavenly Expansion Dragons! The onlookers couldn’t understand why the Dark Dragon Hound was becoming even more intimidating than before. No one could have foreseen that the pet was hiding its strength even deeper than the old man from the Qin family! In the meantime, the dark mist that had enveloped the old man was gradually dispersed, revealing a man that was almost three meters tall. But the old man looked nothing like before. He was not only taller, but stronger. There were dark dots on his face and neck. His smooth, white hair had turned into a dark hook that stood behind his head.

There were some bumps under his chin, which was a feature of the Demon Stone Toad.

The two were merged and their strength had been combined!

A hellish feeling was radiating from the old man. His eyes had turned purple and that look in his eyes spoke of nothing but ferocity!

Kill!

The old man paid no heed to the Dark Dragon Hound’s surge in power. With a whoosh, the old man appeared right behind Su Ping. He punched at Su Ping once again! Bang! The virtual dragon broke. The fist went past the remains of the virtual dragon, and was about to land on Su Ping’s face.

But right then, the old man heard an angry roar. The Dark Dragon Hound, which had taken the shape of a dragon, appeared all of a sudden. The Dark Dragon Hound built up a shield in front of Su Ping. At the same time, it menacingly opened its dragon mouth at the old man. The old man turned his purple eyes. He stared at the Dark Dragon Hound, void of emotion. Next, with a dash, the old man turned over his hand while standing below the fierce maw. There was a sword in his palm. He wielded the sharp blade. With a puff, blood spilled out from the Dark Dragon Hound’s face. The dragon scales broke and the many shields were unable to protect it from the injury. While the Dark Dragon Hound was good at various sorts of defensive skills, they were all merely of the ninth rank. But they would be practically useless when the enemy was a legendary battle pet warrior. Su Ping frowned. Was removing one seal not enough? He was ready to remove another one! Right then, the Dark Dragon Hound began to shake its head and pant. Its body was swelling up and its eyes reddened. The cut on its face was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. There were some bolts of lightning flashing around the Dark Dragon Hound. People sensed that even the air was freezing. A magnificent vigor burst free from the hound and a gust of wind was blowing away the dirt and rubble. Senior Yan felt extreme trepidation. The Dark Dragon Hound looked up and glued its eyes on the old man of the Qin family who was frowning at the moment.

Inherent skill

Dragon Thunder!!

Roar!!!

The Dark Dragon Hound opened its mouth; the air began to explode in front of the hound. A twisted whirlpool appeared. In the meantime, that terrifying sound wave mixed with countless bolts of lightning instantly swept across the area!

People seemed to be able to see many virtual images of the Heaven Expansion Dragons.

That was an inherent skill that only adult Heaven Expansion Dragons were able to master!

Startled, the old man of the Qin family built up a seal. He turned his wrist, and a lotus-shaped sword glow appeared in front of him. However, the astral shields were as fragile as glass. They broke in an instant and the marvelous lotus vanished at the same time.

The sound wave blasted over, reaching the seal behind the old man and making a noise similar to a bell ringing!

That noise echoed across the stadium and even went past the bounds of the venue!

The transparent armored glass at the ceiling broke. The cracks on the walls expanded and stones began to fall from the roof in certain places.

As he hovered inside the seal, Senior Yan coughed out blood and his ears were bleeding as well.

That was not a simple roar. It was a pure sonic wave attack!

Even though Senior Yan was not the target of the strike, he was hurt nonetheless. His head felt heavy and about to split. Next to the stage, all the titled battle pet warriors were covering up their heads. Still, their heads were buzzing. The sound-proofing seal was unable to stop the sound wave from piercing into their minds! They hurried to check the situation on the stage after they felt better. They had never been in more shock in their whole lives! The Dark Dragon Hound was still standing there. But across the stage, the Demon Stone Toad, which had merged with the old man, had re-emerged and fallen by the seal. On the torn belly of the Demon Stone Toad lied the old man of the Qin family. His robe had been blasted away and he was practically naked. His skin was cracked; a lot of places were bleeding. His white hair was gone and that was... odd.

Did he... lose?! How creepy that was!

The old man, one at the legendary rank, merged with his battle pet, a beast king no less, and he... lost?! Astonishing! Shocking!! People felt they had lost the ability to talk. With one roar, the old man failed and the merging was dispelled! Standing like dead with mouth agape, some were looking at the other side of the stage. Su Ping was standing there, calmly. He had not moved an inch since the battle started. There wasn’t a single speck of dust on him. He never did anything. His battle pet had defeated the old man of the Qin family on its own! For a long, long time, there was a deathly stillness.

No one said anything. No one cheered. They were trembling even while breathing! Amid the silence, the old man of the Qin family was still lying on the torn belly of the Demon Stone Toad, unmoving. It seemed that he had passed out.

Blood covered his face. People weren’t even sure if he was still alive.

“Sir, no!!” some people shouted in sorrow and indignation. They were the titled battle pet warriors of the Qin family. They had realized that their ancestor must have lost because he had been unable to stand up again after such a long time. They were afraid, confused, and above all, anxious. That old man was the foundation of the Qin family. How could he fall? How could he lose?!

On the stage. Su Ping could tell that the old man was still breathing. He had just passed out.

What the Dark Dragon Hound did was beyond his expectation. He had not been affected by that roar but it did surprise him. If he were the target, and he was without any secret artifact to protect him, he believed he would have been reduced into a skeleton, without any flesh or skin left. That skill was fatal! That was a skill that the Dark Dragon Hound had just picked up?

The Dark Dragon Hound had morphed back from the dragon shape. It must have exhausted its energy. But, the battle had reached its end. Su Ping didn’t think anyone would come and challenge him after that. It had no longer been a regular battle.

Su Ping glared at the old man. Bolts of lightning appeared under his feet. In an instant, he had flashed to where the Demon Stone Toad was. The tilted battle pet warriors were startled. They shouted in panic, “What are you doing? He lost. Open up the seal, now!” The killing intent on Su Ping’s face surprised Senior Yan as well. Fighting back the lingering pain in his mind, he shouted at once, “Mr. Su, please no. He is at the legendary rank!” Su Ping just kept his eyes on the unconscious old man.

“So what? This is the Supremacy League, he broke the rules by taking pari while being a legendary battle pet warrior. This is no longer part of the official competition. This is my private matter! “My rule is to deal with killing with killing!” With that said, Su Ping lifted his hand. “Wait!” someone else shouted. That voice was low but it could be heard all across the stadium.

The window of a private room in the distance was broken. From the room flew out a strong, middle-aged man with dark eyebrows and sharp eyes. It was quite a masculine man. He reached the seal and said to Su Ping, “Stay your hand in mercy, please!”

The onlookers focused on the man. Some titled battle pet warriors were so stunned to see this man that they lost their voices! “Legend North King!” “North King!!”

“A man from the Bei family of the Sky Base City that reached the legendary rank two hundred years ago!” All the titled battle pet warriors stood up in shock!

That was a legendary battle pet warrior that had dropped off from the grid a long time before. They could not believe that he was still very much alive; he was standing right in front of them! The other battle pet warriors were just as stunned. With their heads still buzzing, they were still unable to process the information.

They would rarely see one legendary battle pet warrior,
