Chapter 995: Demand

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Green Lady led Su Ping to the palace through the stairs. A couple of guards wearing silver armor and crowns suddenly appeared and yelled at them. “Stop! Who are you? How dare you break into the Deity Queen’s palace!”

The noises instantly attracted a lot of attention; everybody looked at the intruders with gloating faces.

“Get out of the way!”

Green Lady was very angry with the Blue Cloud Deity Queen, so she didn’t bother with niceties.

The guards obviously didn’t think that a Golden Deity could be as reckless. Their leader unleashed deity aura, influencing time and space. He then said, “I can report your arrival if you want to meet the Deity King, but you’ve violated our rules by breaking in. You can still be forgiven since you’re a Golden Deity, if you apologize to the Deity Queen with me!”

“Apologize? It is her who should apologize!” Green Lady was more than infuriated. She should have been more rational, but she had grown confident after having seen Su Ping’s rebirths on the way; she already believed in her employee benefit. After all, whoever was backing Su Ping had the power to transport them to that plane, and was definitely capable of resurrecting them.

“You’re asking to be killed!”

The head of the guards turned cold. He considered her willfulness was because she was close to their liege, or another Deity King. However, her last statement was unforgivable, no matter her background. He pointed with a finger, unleashing deity aura to confine her.

“I am going to see her today. Nobody can stop me!”

Green Lady’s body was emanating green light. Swirling power was gushing around her like vortexes. At the same time, there were intense white flames burning over her fair skin. They were in fact the flames used to refine her, back when she was in the furnace, but she had tamed them, turning them into an attack of her own.

“I was burnt day and night for nine hundred years, just so that I could become a pill and help him. The emperor and my master perished. Why are you still alive?” said Green Lady with a shrieking voice, her body ablaze. She instantly burned through the blocked space and marched towards the guard.

The temperature was quickly rising. The Star Lord guards and the observers felt as if they were inside a furnace.

One of the guards saw the graveness of the situation, and quickly roared, “Hurry up! Establish an array!”

It was then that a cold voice burst out. “I’m your opponent!”

Su Ping stepped up, summoning the Little Skeleton, the Inferno Dragon and his other pets, which filled up the sky behind him. Dazzling astral power gushed out of Su Ping’s body; he activated the Astral Paintings, and used their power to enhance his bloody sword with their aggressive power.

“Time and Space Cutting!” Su Ping roared. His power over time and space had grown considerably after completing the sixth Astral Painting, to a point that not even the Six Lives Buddha—back in the Universe Geniuses’ Contest—could compare to him.

Su Ping’s combat ability had soared ever since he mastered the power of time and space. He could easily summon his future self, or cut and reverse the flow of time!

Of course, he could hardly accomplish that when there were stronger interferences, like those coming from Ascendants.

However, all the guards were Star Lords; Su Ping was absolutely fearless.

“Huh? A mere Celestial Deity…”

Finally, the guards noticed Su Ping. They had considered him a mere servant, never expecting for him to be as bold. Their contempt and fury disappeared when Su Ping’s attach reached them; their eyes then had shock and disbelief.

2

Is this really something that a Celestial Deity can do?

The genius deities waiting to be admitted by the divine palace saw this and their eyes widened. They even thought that Su Ping had hidden his cultivation.

“Show me the deity skills you’re proud of!”

Su Ping was shining with astral power. He made use of the Thousand Rain Sword Technique. Countless sword auras were shot like raindrops with faith power. In the meantime, his small world was also taking shape. Unlike normal small worlds, his was dark and desolate, as if countless bodies were buried in it.

“Damn you, devil!”

All the guards became angry once they saw Su Ping’s small world. Such a dark place suggested that he was brutal and twisted.

All of them used their deity skills, bringing out secret treasures like flutes, swords, and musical instruments. They surrounded Su Ping with a unique mix of power.

The sound of the music instruments confused the mind and induced hallucinations. However, Su Ping somehow felt comfortable as he was attacked by all the deity skills, which were more powerful than those of the Star Lords’ he knew, but less horrifying than he had expected.

“Break!!”

One of the guards had a brilliant and righteous small world, filled with flying cranes. Su Ping waved his sword, unleashing a brutal aura with his sword technique. He exerted thirty percent of his strength with the skill he had grasped in the Archean Divinity, then tore apart the small world.

The cranes flew in a panic, and the wonderful world was destroyed, reduced to an apocalyptic display.

“Beauty that can’t be protected is just brutality!”

Su Ping stepped forward and slashed randomly, beating back the divine weapons around him. The guards were also forced to retreat. No one was able to stop him.

“How is this possible? He’s just a Celestial Deity!”

“Is he the reincarnation of a Deity King? That’s impossible. How could an immature reincarnation of a Deity King cause trouble here?”

“He’s hardly a Celestial Deity, going by the concentration of his deity aura. There’s still a mixed type of energy in his body. He seems to have ascended from a lesser world!”

There were many mortal worlds outside the thirteen islands. The strong experts of those worlds could ascend to the thirteen islands and become registered as deities. Su Ping was clearly one of the ascendants, since he had other powers besides deity aura.

Bang!!

While Su Ping stopped the guards—a battle between Green Lady and the Golden Deity guard was raging on in parallel. Her flames were swept out, as if intending to burn up the sky. She moved amidst the flames like a bird and struck the guard, then confined him in a mysterious way.

“Get lost!”

Green Lady waved her hand to push away the higher-level guard. Her eyes were cold, but she still spared the Golden Deity’s life.

Then, she flew upwards along the stairs to approach the palace.

“Blue Cloud, come out right now!” she roared loudly; her voice echoed through hundreds of kilometers within the palace. Everybody looked at the girl who was bold enough to call the Blue Cloud Deity Queen by name, wondering why she had a death wish.

“How audacious!”

“How audacious!”

Yells of shock and fury were heard everywhere. Many Golden Deities popped up further up on the stairs, ahead of Green Lady. They seemed to have arrived from another time and space, and were currently gazing at the trespassers with furious eyes.

“Those are the legendary flames. Who are you?”

“She’s not a human being. She carries a strong pill aura. She must be a pill!”

“A pill dares to trespass? I’m going to swallow you right now!”

All the Golden Deities moved to intercept; their eyes glittered once they noticed that she was a pill. A pill with a Golden Deity cultivation was a rare treasure, even for Deity Kings.

Green Lady was even more exasperated after noticing their looks, as she was well acquainted with such greed and hypocrisy. She then said with a pained expression, “All of you survived because you’re cowards. All of you should be killed, like her!”

The flames coming from her body began to burn even more exuberantly, as she was on the verge of an outbreak. She then remembered her employee benefits granted by Su Ping, so she gritted her teeth and chose to attack.

She was going to exhaust her power and fight her way up until she met Blue Cloud!

Right when she was going to destroy herself—time and space around her was solidified. All the battling and noise were frozen. Then, a voice came from a far off distance. “A pill forged by a king… You want to meet me even at the cost of destroying yourself. Why?”

A pair of long and fair legs stepped out of the void as the voice resounded. Time didn’t seem to have left a single mark on her body. The hem of her hazy dress fell slowly, covering her beautiful legs, but the sight was even more alluring.

“Blue Cloud Deity Queen!”

All the Golden Deities—as well as the other people who were here to meet her—were shocked to see her. Everyone bowed respectfully.

Only two people stood still at the moment, both in the air and at ground level: Green Lady and Su Ping.

Whoosh!

The guards encircling Su Ping fell to their knees, trembling, as if seeking forgiveness. Su Ping stopped his attacks; he moved to hover next to Green Lady.

“You truly are alive…”

With pain in her eyes, Green Lady gritted her teeth and said, “The Deity King blocked the breach and saved the world with his body. How did you manage to survive the war?”

Slightly stunned, the Deity Queen said with glittering eyes, “The Twilight Deity King’s power lingers in you. Were you created by him?”

Green Lady’s expression showed more pain at the mention of her master. Her body was also shivering.

“The war…”

The Deity Queen’s eyes flashed. She seemed confused and wary. She gave a thoughtful look at Green Lady, then said, “Such a matter is not something you should touch. I’ll spare your life for the sake of the Twilight Deity King. Just leave.”

“He told me that they might not be able to stop the catastrophe, even if all the Deity Kings were to take action. Why are you still alive, and Luofu is still standing?” Green Lady’s eyes were bloodshot as an insane idea occurred to her. “Was it a scheme?”

“A catastrophe? A scheme?” The Blue Cloud Deity Queen narrowed her eyes and stared at Green Lady. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Let me say it one more time: Leave… or stay here forever.”

“I want the truth!” Green Lady shouted in fury, shedding all demeanor of a deity. However, her anger could easily be detected.

“As I said, you’re not qualified to know the answer.”

The Deity Queen snorted and turned cold. She pointed her finger, and the world around her was suddenly stretched into countless rays of light. Everything was gone, as if none of it had ever existed.

While immersed in such a domain, Su Ping felt as if his mind was also going blank. He was unable to sense either time or space, as if he were in the middle of an utterly desolate place.

“Damn it. Did she imprison us?” He was shocked and infuriated, not knowing whether the woman was merciful or brutal. She imprisoned them instead of killing them.

It was exactly at that moment when Su Ping heard a soft sigh.
