“Stop right there!”

Roar!!

The strong Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon roared in fury when Su Ping chased after its child. Crazy bolts of lightning filled up the secondary space in front of him.

If Su Ping were to use his flash movements, he would’ve been surrounded and drowned by that attack.

It was obviously done to stop Su Ping.

But he didn’t grant the dragon’s wish. He dashed out without stopping and flew into the intimidating ocean of lightning.

“You’re asking to be killed!”

The strong Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon was shocked and infuriated, not expecting the human hunter to be that reckless.

“Leishan, stop running!”

The other seven dragons that had been chasing it suddenly unleashed a spatial shackle. They separated the tertiary space and used its fragments to clutter the secondary space with them, thus blocking and sealing it.

The mighty dragon chasing Su Ping was held back. Then, he sensed that the human passed through the ocean of lightning and continued chasing its wife and child.

“Bloody human!”

Its eyes almost popped out with fury, and lightning was bursting out.

Roar!!

It roared furiously at the other seven dragons in the sky, “I’ll kill whoever gets in my way!”

“Leishan, you’ve gone crazy! Stop right now!”

An old dragon with curled horns bellowed. Then, dark lightning wrought chains were extended from its body. That was a skill that the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon used to punish their own kind. It also worked on other beasts of the thunder family.

“F*ck off!”

The dragon named Leishan yelled madly and unleashed dark chains of its own.

The rest of the dragons joined in the fight, soon turning the place into a mess.

…

Whoosh!

On the other side, Su Ping passed through the ocean of lightning in the secondary space with minor burns due to the high temperature, but the injuries healed quickly.

He detected the white-scaled serpent and instantly chased after it.

He flashed quickly and soon saw the two fleeing dragons. One of them was traveling through the woods with the white-scaled serpent on its back.

“I’ll stop him!”

One of them detected Su Ping’s aura and was shocked; it didn’t expect that the human could break free from Leishan. It passed the white-scaled serpent to its partner and slowed down, ready to execute Su Ping in the forest.

“Get out of my way!”

Su Ping drew his sword after seeing the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon that was trying to block him, and unleashed his astral power without any mercy.

Void Sword!

Die!!

A black aura was swept out even faster than Su Ping; it traveled a dozen kilometers and cut space apart on the way like a black lightning bolt!

“The feeling of laws…”

The dragon was still preparing its skills; it was shocked to see the sword aura that Su Ping released.

This human has mastered laws!

It had already detected that Su Ping was only an Ocean State warrior. How is it possible?

It didn’t have any time to think. The sword aura had already reached him. Fortunately, its skill was finally ready. There was a booming sound; the nearby space trembled, and a myriad of lightning bolts were generated, gathered into the same spot.

Those lightning bolts had a highly piercing nature.

The name of the skill was Lightning Extremity!

Woosh!

The condensed lightning was ejected at ten times the speed in the secondary space. It displayed the brutal and rapid power achieved by lightning skills.

After a boom, the sword aura encountered the lightning attack. Dazzling purple light burst out. But then, the condensed lightning’s terrifying light had been annihilated.

Following that, the sword aura escaped the clash with the lightning and inflicted a brutal cut on the dragon’s chest.

All the scales on the dragon’s chest were cracked. In fact, the scales that came into contact with the sword aura quickly curled and became pale, losing their vitality.

The Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon cried as it was flung back. It knocked down an enormous tree, but then its momentum was blocked by a larger tree right after.

Su Ping had already reached the dragon. He was surprised to see that its Void Sword didn’t kill the dragon directly. Such resilience and strength was surely above to that of the Heavenly King of Good and Evil back on the Blue Planet.

Whoosh!

Su Ping didn’t linger to finish it off since the others would get away. Again, he caught sight of the white-scaled serpent; it hadn’t gotten far yet so he quickly chased after it.

“How is it possible? It’s already been defeated?”

The Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon that carried that white-scaled serpent was appalled after seeing its partner being defeated that quickly. The serpent also seemed distressed.

Whoosh!

Since the human was getting closer, the dragon had no choice except to fly higher, above the Thunderous Woods.

Boom!

Suddenly, an enormous pressure was imposed upon them from above.

The fleeing dragon flinched and stiffened midair.

“Do you intend to defy me too?”

The most intimidating and indifferent voice came from the clouds. Then, a dragon that was almost a thousand meters long slowly flew out of the surging clouds.

The dragon’s scales were all purple, seemingly made of iron. It had three horns on the top of its head, which somehow formed the shape of a crown!

“C-Chief…”

The fleeing dragon’s pupils were contracted with fear. It didn’t expect to see the chief; it was trembling due to the chief’s pressure.

The white-scaled serpent on its back also appeared to be frightened; it looked at the enormous dragon with fear and despair.

The drakeling it carried, however, gazed at the dragon without any trace of fear; it seemed stubborn and infuriated.

“Leishan has embarrassed our people by mating with such a lowly creature. Shameless!”

The king of the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons looked down at the white-scaled serpent as if it were the ruler of the world. There was nothing but coldness in its eyes.

“You even gave birth to this bastard. Leishan was supposed to break the shackles, take control of this planet for our people and be lauded as the finest warrior, yet it was corrupted…”

“C-Chief, have mercy…”

The dragon trapped in the sky trembled and begged for mercy.

It was only making beastly noises in the ears of outsiders, although devastating and desperate.

“You worked for Leishan and violated my orders. You’ll be punished along with Leishan to be confined in our dragon mountain for a thousand years!” announced the dragon king coldly before it snatched the white-scaled serpent. “They must be sacrificed to appease our dragon ancestors and wash away all dishonor!”

The white-scaled serpent felt like the sky was falling as it looked at the approaching claw. It begged with anguished eyes, “Please, you can kill me, but please spare Leishan’s child. It’s innocent…”

The claw continued moving downwards without a pause.

Bang!

All of a sudden, a fire darted close from the void and forced the claw to move back.

“Huh?” The cold-looking dragon king looked at another side.

Swoosh!

A human flew out of the forest. It was none other than Su Ping.

Standing in midair with fluttering black hair, he looked up at the dragon king with a cold glare. “Go away, this is my prey!”

“Bloody human!”

The dragon king’s eyes became even colder when it saw him. It waved its tail, and a great number of lightning bolts smashed at Su Ping from the clouds.

The lightning bolts seemed to be enough to drench and destroy everything in the world.

Su Ping raised his head. His face became pale because of the lighting’s illumination, but his eyes became golden. He clenched his fists with magnificent astral and divine power surging out of his body, remembering the ancient gods and devils in his fist technique.

How should all evil and injustice in the world be resolved?

The only solution was to shatter them with a punch!

Roar!!

Su Ping suddenly let out a loud roar. Then, a violent golden fist aura was pushed out, which then collided with the lightning attack. The golden and purple light instantly lit the world, creating a strong energy turbulence above the Thunderous Woods.

The giant trees nearby were bent because of the blast; leaves flew everywhere.

The remaining rogue dragon and the white-scaled serpent on its back were both appalled by such a sight.

The human was bold enough to fight the dragon king!

How could he be so courageous?

And he actually weathered through the attack!

Su Ping stood like a straight spear in the middle of the glittering lightning. He raised his head and looked at the dragon king in the sky, still adamant.

“Huh?”

The dragon king didn’t look happy after seeing its skill blocked. Although it didn’t try its best, it was still disgraceful to have been countered by that human.

“Go to hell!”

It flapped its wings with a cold glare, producing a strong wind in the process. It suddenly opened its mouth and shot a lightning bolt from its mouth at an unbelievable speed!

It was even faster than the Lightning Extremity that Su Ping had encountered before!

However, Su Ping was a seasoned fighter. He was ready for the attack when the dragon king opened its mouth, having activated his super acceleration when the lightning bolt was released. The attack was slowed down in his eyes, but it was still as fast as the Lightning Extremity.

Su Ping was quite shocked. It’s so fast… Is this the power of a Star State dragon?

He raised his sword and slashed out without holding anything back.

Boom!

The sword aura of annihilation cut the air apart. The Void Sword collided with the lightning bolts in the dark secondary space; the chaotic energy produced tore the primary space apart, leaving irregular cracks.

A black hole surrounded by cracks seemed to have emerged in the void.

There wasn’t any noise because it had been completely swallowed by the secondary space. However, the resulting energy shocked both the rogue dragon and the white-scaled serpent.

So strong! This human has mastered the power of laws!

That was usually what those near the Star State were capable of!

The dragon king changed its expression and became solemn for the first time. It examined Su Ping carefully, only to discover that even though Su Ping was hiding his level, he was undoubtedly at the Ocean State!

How was this possible?

It was quite shocked.

An Ocean State human had blocked two of his attacks in a row!

It wasn’t a regular beast. It had learned from the hunters who visited every year what a terrifying species humankind was; it also knew that the planet was only one of their habitats.

Some of the human beings were top geniuses who could fight enemies beyond their level!

The dragon king didn’t expect that the human would be one of them!

Its demeanor became even colder. All the geniuses were backed by powerful forces that included experts who might even be stronger than itself.

“Human, you’re not from this planet. You’d better stay out of this; leave at once and I won’t kill you!” said the dragon king while staring at Su Ping.

It wasn’t a barbaric beast without any communication with the outside world. It chose to give in, considering Su Ping’s background.

After all, human beings were just like bees. If it pissed off one of them, its entire clan might suffer!

Although having nowhere else to hide, the clan could still survive while confined to that continent. Pissing off a top expert could result in their extinction!

The rogue dragon and the white-scaled serpent were equally stunned after hearing that, not expecting that their ever-proud chief would lower its head in front of Su Ping!

Su Ping was also surprised to see the dragon king stop. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized that the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons were caged in the Rumbling Thunder Continent, which was a natural pet base. They could kill human beings and resist, but they didn’t dare to fight too hard.

They were already imprisoned, so they could only resist moderately. That was the plight of the weaker species!

However, Su Ping had seen countless species struggling to survive in different worlds. He had just been through a similar struggle on the Blue Planet. He knew how the dragon king felt, but nothing could be changed.

“I can go, as long as you give me that.” Su Ping pointed at the little dragon. He said to the white-scaled serpent, “I’m only taking it away for training. I mean it no harm; I’ll bring it back to visit you after it’s trained.”

The white-scaled serpent was stunned. It slightly narrowed its eyes and hesitated.

At this moment, however, the dragon king snorted and looked down at Su Ping. “Human, I’m offering you a chance to escape with your life. Both of them are sacrifices. You can’t take them away!”

Su Ping looked up and said coldly, “So, it’s non negotiable?”

Coldness and a vague tinge of madness beamed out of the dragon king’s eyes. “I gave you a chance. Do you really think I don’t dare to kill you?”

“Come and give it a try!”

Su Ping’s eyes glittered. A summoning vortex appeared next to him, and the Inferno Dragon stepped out.

The dragon king grew solemn once it saw the Inferno Dragon. Then, it chuckled. “Is that what makes you confident?”

Su Ping didn’t reply; he simply initiated the fusion.

Whoosh!

The Inferno Dragon let out a roar. Then, it turned into a streak of light and disappeared into Su Ping’s body.

Su Ping became significantly stronger moments after. His bones were crackling; sharp scales grew on his skin and covered his cheeks. His eyes also turned into the golden eyes of a dragon.

The dragon king’s pupils contracted. “Double merging? How is this possible?”

It had never seen such a situation before.

Su Ping had obviously been merged with a pet already. And yet, he could merge with another one!

He simply sneered however, not bothering to explain.

The fusion with the Dark Dragon Hound was just its bloodline skill, not a real fusion; the fusion with the Inferno Dragon was the real fusion!

“Lightning Prison: Catastrophic Void Sword!”

Su Ping emanated a golden light while holding his sword and lotus flowers made of lightning appeared underneath his feet. The auras of two laws circulated around his body and entangled the arm holding the sword.

At the same time, a Force Field emerged behind Su Ping’s back. Ancient shadows passed through the field every now and then, all of them with blood curdling auras.

The dragon king’s pupils were contracted yet again. “Two laws!”

That human could not only perform double fusions but had also mastered two laws, even though he was merely an Ocean State warrior. It was unbelievable!

It had never seen such a monstrous human being!

More importantly, the destructive power radiated by Su Ping’s sword made it feel uneasy. It was suddenly no longer confident of defeating Su Ping!
