Chapter 1193: Ascendant State Power

“The Divine Descent Stone?”

“I heard it’s a stone that can detect Ascendant State power!”

“Are they trying to rank us according to our Ascendant potential? Such a method doesn’t seem reliable.”

Many Ascendants whispered, but the Heavenly Lords amongst them were calm; they seemed to have been previously informed of the rules.

“Song Yuan, set an example for the others,” Shen Huang ordered after sitting on the throne.

The first senior brother—who was on Su Ping’s rightmost side—rose and bowed to accept the request. He then flew towards the fallen angel.

Some of Chi Huo’s and Xu Kong’s disciples seemed unhappy, obviously thinking it wasn’t fair for Shen Huang to send his disciple first.

However, Song Yuan was a top Heavenly Lord anyway; they didn’t complain, even though they were angry. After all, it would be hilarious if they argued with their allies for such trivial matters.

Song Yuan soon reached the fallen angel.

“I remember that our first senior brother’s Ascendant State was measured to be more than 9,000, right?” asked Zhu Feng, who was quite talkative at the moment.

“More than 9,000? Our elder brother is a true monster!” said another senior, who shook his head with mixed feelings.

Ji Xueqing chuckled and said, “There can only be one commander of the troops. Master asked our senior brother to be tested first in order to awe the other two parties.”

Su Ping was seated next to Ji Xueqing; he had overheard their conversation. He then asked curiously, “Have you measured your Ascendant State too? How good is 9,000?”

The Ascendant State power was completely different from divine power.

The latter was a sort of natural power that was eventually given the ‘divine’ name.

Essentially speaking, it was just like deity aura and astral power. Although natural in essence, it was often more violent.

Ascendant State power was different; it was a special energy that could only be acquired after passing the Heavenly Tribulation and breaking through!

Such an energy was currently known as the Ascendant State power, but it had different names in other ages and cultures.

Among the gods, it was known as the power of order.

For deities, it was tribulation power.

“We’ve all tested it before. You can check it with the equipment of the Federation, even though there might be errors; the greater your reading is, the greater the error. For example, our first senior brother’s reading is above 9,000, so the error margin is probably at around 500. His actual performance may be above a 10,000 reading, while it may be only 8,000,” Ji Xueqing explained to Su Ping.

You Long chuckled and asked, “Junior brother, did you know that normal Ascendants only have a reading of 500 points on average just after breaking through?”

He had looked after Su Ping for a while, and was closer to him than the rest.

Su Ping felt dazed. Only 500 after just rising to the Ascendant State?

Didn’t that mean that his first senior brother was twenty times stronger than a normal Ascendant?

“No wonder…” Su Ping gasped in shock. Was that the power of a top Heavenly Lord? The man was so much stronger than his peers!

Zhu Feng smiled. “In terms of readings, our first senior brother is only twenty times stronger than a normal Ascendant. You’ll probably be able to match him when you reach the Ascendant State, junior brother. After all, you’re probably a hundred times stronger than a normal Star Lord. Even though the gap will be reduced when you rise to the Ascendant State, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to become a Heavenly Lord.”

“Junior brother, keep it up. We all think highly of you,” said another young and pretty woman. Su Ping recalled that she was his eighth senior sister.

“Junior brother, you are an unparalleled genius; you’ll surely exceed us,” said the other senior brothers and sisters, half-jokingly.

Su Ping was their center of attention at the moment, even though he was merely a Star Lord.

He had won their respect and admiration because of his achievements; none of them looked down on him.

“You flatter me.” Su Ping quickly waved a hand, truly flattered by what they said.

At the end of the line, dozens of seats away from Su Ping—Shuai Qianhou and Diaz looked at him with complicated feelings. Although their seniors were only being nice in a way, the fact that they praised him so eloquently despite their usual prideful attitudes belied how capable Su Ping was.

They too were junior brothers, Star Lords like Su Ping, but their position was entirely different.

“Multiple small worlds…” Shuai Qianhou’s eyes glittered and he clenched his fists. Su Ping’s performance during the competition for the legacy had shocked the entire world; all of it was thanks to his multiple small worlds.

He remembered that Su Ping wasn’t as good as him in terms of ultimate laws.

At least, he had already grasped three ultimate laws to perfection.

He honestly didn’t think he was weaker than Su Ping, except for the fact that the latter had multiple small worlds.

He said he would publicize the method to cultivate multiple small worlds. I don’t know why he’s willing to do that. I should be able to get the real version, since I’m his junior brother… Shuai Qianhou thought.

This guy… Diaz was envious and jealous when he saw that Su Ping was enjoying himself. He also felt helpless, knowing he had been left in the dust. Even the fellow next to him who had cultivated for 50,000 years had been left behind. If such an expert couldn’t catch up to Su Ping, he certainly wouldn’t be able to.

Song Yuan started his test while everybody talked.

A golden, highly-compressed light emerged from his body, containing special power waves. The power burst out of his stomach to later spread throughout his body. It became increasingly brighter, flowing to his hands when it was the brightest, all before he laid his hands on the Divine Descent Stone in the fallen angel’s hands.

The oval stone instantly started to glow, and the fallen angel statue slowly opened her eyes!

Underneath her stone eyelids was a pair of deep and dark pupils.

Besides the two eyes, the fallen angel’s wings were also fluttering, feathers appearing one after the other, until two of the wings had almost turned completely golden.

“Two wings!”

Chi Huo and Xu Kong narrowed their eyes. They knew that Song Yuan was a strong and famous Heavenly Lord, but they didn’t expect him to activate two wings!

“No wonder he’s famous throughout the universe. It’s a shame that I haven’t fought against him yet; I don’t know how strong he is exactly…” remarked Chi Huo in a low voice.

Senior Brother Han, who ranked third, spoke excitedly with glittering eyes, “Almost two wings, and 1728 feathers!”

Ji Xueqing said with mixed feelings, “Our first senior brother is significantly stronger than when I saw him last.”

Zhu Feng raised his thumb and said concisely, “First senior brother is awesome!”

Su Ping was intrigued after hearing their exclamations of amazement. He asked Ji Xueqing in a low voice, “Senior Sister Ji, is that very impressive? How does it translate to the reading you mentioned?”

Ji Xueqing withdrew her gaze, and looked at him with amusement in her eyes. “That is very impressive. Normal Ascendants could hardly make the fallen angel open her eyes, not to mention activating her wings. Look at the wings; each contains 999 feathers that carry a special power.

“Our first senior brother activated two wings and 1728 feathers. That is more than 8,000 points if you convert this into the Ascendant State value. One feather equals five points!”

Su Ping was enlightened. “But wasn’t our first senior brother’s reading more than 9,000 earlier?”

“That’s when our first senior brother unleashed all his power. Just now, he only tried with a normal output. I remember that his reading was only 8,000 points while in this state. He must be five hundred times more powerful right now.”

Ji Xueqing chuckled and continued, “Even though our master told us to try our best, this is just the opening anyway; it’s unnecessary to reveal our trump cards. The real competition has yet to begin!”

“That explains a lot.” Su Ping understood.

Song Yuan then clasped hands to salute the three Celestials after finishing the test, then returned to where Su Ping and other disciples were seated.

As for the other Ascendants, they were still discussing. Some had never seen that statue before, and were at a loss about the situation; they had to ask their friends about it.

“First senior brother, awesome!”

Senior Brother Han, Zhu Feng, Ji Xueqing and the others congratulated him.

Song Yuan smiled.

“I only activated two wings; it’s nothing to be proud of.”

A few figures from the Red Fire Star Zone became angry after seeing that Su Ping and the others were complimenting their senior.

“They will know what a top Heavenly Lord truly means when our third senior brother goes there!”

“This competition is absolutely unnecessary since our third senior brother is here. They should just give the position to him.”

“It’s time we show them the power of the Red Fire Star Zone!”

Unlike the Ascendants from the Golden Star Zone, the ones from the Red Fire Star Zone were outspoken and arrogant. They didn’t have many friends in the universe due to their personalities.

Someone from the Red Fire Star Zone jumped out after Song Yuan left. She was Chi Huo’s first disciple.

To everyone’s surprise, the first disciple was an alluring, sexy woman. However, her attractive face was awash with coldness and solemnity, which made her even more appealing.

“I am Liu Xia.”

Just like Song Yuan, the woman reported her original name. Many young Ascendants found her unfamiliar since she didn’t use her title. They had never heard that name before.

“She’s the Night Reaper!” said a shocked person in the audience, although in a low voice.

“Is this what she looks like? It’s said that all those who’ve seen her are dead. It’s been more than 100,000 years since she emerged in the universe.”

“The Night Reaper is always heard of but never seen. She suffocates all her enemies at night. She was a frightening devil 100,000 years ago.”

“I thought she would be more patient.”

Song Yuan shook his head with a helpless smile after seeing her.

His brother Han chuckled. “First senior brother, I heard that you fought with her before. Who won?”

Ji Xueqing covered her mouth and said, “Don’t you know him at all? He can’t beat women; he either lost or ran off.”

Song Yuan rolled eyes at her angrily. Seeing the burning interest in his brothers and sisters’ eyes, he could only say helplessly, “I fought her once, sixty thousand years ago, and won by a narrow margin. She’s probably still angry, and is determined to break my record.”

“So, a romantic bond,” said Zhu Feng outright, then laughing.

Song Yuan glanced at him and said, “I think a spar is long overdue. We should practice after this contest is over.”

“I humbly admit my mistake,” Zhu Feng quickly begged for mercy with a bitter face.

“Senior brother, she’s looking at you,” said Ji Xueqing with a grimace.

Song Yuan raised his head, only to find that Liu Xia was indeed glaring at him. He couldn’t help but wave his hands helplessly.

Liu Xia’s test began soon after. She emitted two types of power, one dark and the other golden. Su Ping vaguely saw a law that was similar to his Sorcerer’s Constitution within her dark aura. He was intrigued by it; the Ascendant State path this Night Reaper established would probably help him.

The Sorcerer’s Constitution that I activated back in the Golden Crow Clan is a top constitution, but may be having trouble developing it because it’s too advanced. I’ve only managed to grasp the path of ultimate darkness… Su Ping thought.

He currently carried the ancient deity constitution, the original god constitution, and the soul entity. However, Su Ping discovered that there was still the power of the Sorcerer’s Constitution left in his body. It had never been purged; it was simply hidden deep inside his body because he hadn’t used it in a long time.

It would have been transformed by his bloodline if it were a normal constitution.

I should probably talk to this Ascendant cultivator if needed, Su Ping thought.

Liu Xia’s test result was finally out at that moment. The fallen angel opened her eyes, and the feathers on her wings turned golden. The third wing shook, and a dozen of its feathers were transformed.

“She did better than our senior brother.” Ji Xueqing and the others wore solemn expressions after seeing that.

Zhu Feng frowned and said, “Even so, I think she made use of her constitution to achieve that.”

“That’s not her constitution. She has completely fused her own power with the Ascendant State power,” said Chunyu, who had been silent the whole time.

Ji Xueqing narrowed her eyes and chimed in, “She’ll be a strong rival for our first senior brother.”

Song Yuan remained calm and silent.

Once the test was done, Night Reaper glanced at Song Yuan expressionlessly, then returned to the seats of the Red Fire Star Zone.

Someone from the Void Star Zone couldn’t wait any longer, and quickly stepped up.

He was Xu Kong’s first disciple, also a famous character. He looked like an old man, but his result was similar to that of Song Yuan.

The solemn atmosphere began to heat up after the Celestial’s first disciples made their appearances. The other participants took the test one after the other, only to make evident how tough the three first disciples were.

“He only made the fallen angel open her eyes!”

“Bi Luo is an old Ascendant. I’ve heard about his tales ever since I was a little kid. I didn’t expect him to be so weak.”

“So weak? It’s impressive enough to make the fallen angel open her eyes. You think he’s like one of those geniuses?”
