Chapter 508 The Path to Legend and the Flame of Destruction
“You can’t run.”
The Otherworld Heavenly King’s indifferent voice echoed in Su Ping’s mind.
The next second, all the s.p.a.ce around Su Ping suddenly became tight and heavy; Su Ping felt as if he had suddenly been stuck in a thick wall, and his speed immediately slowed down.
s.p.a.ce Confinement?!
It wasn’t like the Gravity Field that the plant beast king had created. This confinement involved solidifying s.p.a.ce all around him!
He had visited the DemiG.o.d Burial several times and had been able to communicate with the Celestial G.o.ds quite often. He had become familiar with the skills that the three states of the legendary rank carried. The legendary creatures at the Ocean State were able to use astral powers to slaughter a ninth-rank creature directly!
The ones at the Void State were able to teleport through s.p.a.ce. At the Fate State, with enough astral powers and a more profound understanding of s.p.a.ce, confining s.p.a.ces was possible! The s.p.a.ce Confinement was a skill unique to creatures at and above the Fate State!
Of course, some outstanding legendary-rank creatures at the Void State could also use s.p.a.ce Confinement, just like how some Ocean State legendary-rank creatures could also teleport.
Geniuses always sought to break the mold.
But at the same time, geniuses like those could be hardly seen.
Is this Heavenly King just a creature at the Void State with an incredible intelligence, or is it at the Fate State?
Su Ping was having a hard time finding the answer. He soon realized that the confinement area was large!
The Celestial G.o.ds in the DemiG.o.d Burial were all at the Fate State; still, they could only confine an area with a radius of a hundred meters with themselves as the center!
However, at the moment, Su Ping was at least a few thousand meters away from the Otherworld Heavenly King!
He understood that the more powerful a being was, the larger the confined s.p.a.ce would be. But that was downright outrageous!
Whoos.h.!.+
In the meantime, some blood-red vines emerged from the ground and approached Su Ping. He struggled to get away but he was being tightly contained. He exerted full strength and even then, it seemed as if he were just jogging casually. On the contrary, the vines were moving at the speed of lightning. His attempt at getting away never stood a chance.
The loud bang indicated that he had been struck; the old dragon king’s gift helped him reduce the impact.
Still, he was pinned to the ground. In the meantime, many vines that were as thick as a person’s wrist crawled over to Su Ping and tied him up.
A golden hue appeared over Su Ping that protected him from getting hurt because of the vines. Yet, being merely an armor, it couldn’t help him get out of the entanglement.
These vines…
Su Ping suddenly understood why the Otherworld Heavenly King was able to affect the s.p.a.ce around him when he was so far away.
It turned out that it had paved the underground with its vines.
Those vines were an extension of the Heavenly King!
s.p.a.ce confinement was usually only able to affect an area with a radius of a hundred meters or even smaller, but the Heavenly King was able to use its huge body and limbs to extend the area of influence!
Su Ping had been flying in the air and he was a few hundred meters above the ground.
The s.p.a.ce Confinement he had experienced was not at full force. Otherwise he would have been immobilized to a point that he would have been unable to blink!
Due to the far distance, he was under the influence of s.p.a.ce Confinement with a reduced effect, but it was more than enough to stop and capture him. “Break!”
Even though he had gained a complete understanding of the situation, his mind was still weighed down. He punched out and broke the vines around him. The red liquid that gushed out from the vines was like blood, and it also smelled like blood.
As the vines were broken, new ones grew out.
Come on!
Furiously, Su Ping used his fist.
He couldn’t allow himself to be captured by the Heavenly King. The old dragon king’s present was able to fend off the vine strikes, not impeding his ability to attack. Therefore, he was able to cut off many vines.
Like Su Ping had a.s.sumed, the vines were just an extension of the Otherworld Heavenly King; as such, they weren’t as st.u.r.dy. The Fist of Exorcist would allow him to break them.
“You are courting death!”
The Heavenly King of Otherworld’s voice had hardly died down when Su Ping shouted out in his mind, “Go away!!” He had secretly used a roar emulating the old dragon king.
The roar was resounding and primitive. It had directly driven out the Heavenly King’s voice from Su Ping’s mind!
In the distance, a beam of red light was suddenly shot from the eye of the Heavenly King. The indifference in its eyes had turned into coldness.
Whoos.h.!.+
Two thick limbs emerged from the petals. They also looked like two red vines at first glance, but the difference was that their surface was ridden with sharp bone blades. At the tip, there were cross-like gaps. The gaps stretched slightly to reveal the tusks inside.
The two blood-red limbs moved through the battlefield and approached Su Ping who was being pushed to the ground in the distance! Su Ping had just broken some vines. He immediately wanted to roll to the side upon seeing those two limbs. However, the vines seemed to be endless; new ones would grow out, no matter how fast he broke them.
“Get away!!” Su Ping shouted. He poured all of his astral powers into those two fists as he used the Fist of Exorcist many times. The Divine Energy he had absorbed when he was in the DemiG.o.d Burial was gus.h.i.+ng out to his hands wildly.
Bang, bang, bang!
Many pieces of vines were broken. Su Ping turned around and tried to run for his life. However, the s.p.a.ce around him was still thick and tight, even more so than before. Even though it wasn’t the actual s.p.a.ce Confinement in full strength, Su Ping couldn’t find any solution.
s.p.a.ce Confinement could only be countered with a more powerful s.p.a.ce Confinement!
Sadly, he knew nothing about it!
He tried to run but his legs were weak and leaden; he could hardly lift them, as they were still under the entanglement of several vines.
More and more red vines were rus.h.i.+ng at him. The whoos.h.i.+ng noise approaching him was getting louder and louder. The two thick limbs were about to reach him, like two destructive arrows which had been released from a distance.
There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide!
Su Ping was in a desperate situation.
He finally saw how weak he was, how vulnerable he was!
Suddenly, a man shouted and approached him. “Mr. Su, let me help you!!”
Su Ping looked around. It was a middle-aged t.i.tled battle pet warrior with rough facial features.
The man mobilized his astral powers as he shouted at Su Ping. Together with an unusual pet of the element family, the middle-aged t.i.tled battle pet warrior dashed toward the two red limbs.
That battle pet generated a ma.s.sive wind blade that held condensed wind power. The blade hacked at the two red limbs.
With a bang, the wind blade was wielded, leaving behind a black mark in the turbulent air.
However, in the next second, the two red limbs wiggled as they advanced. More bone blades grew out on the limbs that cut off the wind blade. Some bone blades flew directly out from the limbs and cut off the battle pet’s head.
Another bone blade flew past the middle-aged t.i.tled battle pet warrior, also beheading him.
The middle-aged t.i.tled battle pet warrior who had hurried over to help had just died.
Su Ping could hardly bring himself to believe that.
The two red limbs went straight for Su Ping after the middle-aged t.i.tled battle pet warrior died.
“You will have to deal with me as well!”
“Mr. Su, we’re here to help you!”
More people shouted. Several t.i.tled battle pet warriors rushed to where Su Ping was being detained, riding on their respective battle pets, which were all at the ninth rank. They hurled themselves toward the two red limbs with abandon. They used many ninth-rank skills, and all sorts of energies entangled the two red limbs.
In the meantime, several missiles were launched that way and exploded close to the two red limbs.
With a loud bang, the fire covered up the red limbs.
Su Ping could not help but dart a look at the outer wall. There were fewer beasts there. The warriors had been able to stop more wild beasts from entering the city through the hole in the wall!
“Mr. Su, let me help you!”
Su Ping saw it was Mu Beihai who was das.h.i.+ng toward him.
