The audience gradually left the premises after Su Ping rushed out. News of the duel was soon spread throughout the Heaven Path Institute.
Another descendant of the Rain Clan had died, in the hands of a Celestial God. The news was sent back to the Rain Clan, and to the other clans on other continents by the audience. They were all frightened.
Humans!
That weak, vassal species in the Archean Divinity became famous among the clans.
Su Ping’s name echoed in those clans too, becoming a legend the weak clans looked up to!
However, Su Ping didn’t care for any of that at the moment. He immediately returned to his palace on the island.
The maid serving Su Ping was nowhere to be seen; she had been watching the battle in the arena, so she failed to return along with Su Ping.
Su Ping didn’t consider that a big deal. He quickly entered the training room, activated the barriers, and summoned the Inferno Dragon.
"Hoooooooooooo!"
The Inferno Dragon almost crawled out. It had been tied up by black mist, and was obviously in pain.
Su Ping could feel the pain currently endured by his pet. He frowned and transmitted deity aura into its body, helping it suppress the black mist and ease the pain.
"This is a good opportunity to improve your willpower. Don’t relax!" said Su Ping, considering the pain caused by the ancient curse as some sort of training.
The Inferno Dragon realized Su Ping’s intention. It crouched on the ground and withstood the pain in silence without uttering a scream. It was shivering and cramping because of the pain, but it didn’t make a sound. There was determination harder than iron in its eyes. The creature had unconditional trust in Su Ping, and would do anything he asked.
Endure!
Carry on!
The power of the curse was swallowing its body; it kept healing itself with the law of vitality. At the same time, Su Ping was helping it with the law of vitality too. The torture of being continuously destroyed and healed was a hundred times more painful than death!
However, the Inferno Dragon had endured such sufferings before.
It had come a long way with the Dark Dragon Hound, the Little Skeleton and Su Ping like this!
That was why they could fight and defeat opponents who were beyond their level!
All their glories were based on blood, sweat, pain and devotion.
Could it be defeated by that insignificant pain?
No way!
The Inferno Dragon’s eyes were bloodshot. It was trying its best to hold back the pain!
It was going to defeat the pain with its own strength!
Su Ping was solemnly sending a continuous flow of deity aura. He didn’t hesitate, although he was already exhausted.
The training room was absolutely quiet.
Any creature would have screamed loudly while being in such pain. However, there was no sound to be heard.
"What kind of curse is this? It’s evil and creepy…"
Su Ping also had an ominous feeling from the curse while helping the Inferno Dragon suppress the pain. He didn’t have such a feeling even when he faced the pressure of the Ancestral God’s shadow.
Su Ping tried to direct the curse into his body, so that some of the Inferno Dragon’s pain could be transferred.
However, the Inferno Dragon seemed to realize his intention. It started burning its own blood and tried even harder to suppress the pain without sharing it with Su Ping.
The curse seemed intelligent enough to know what was on the Inferno Dragon’s mind. It didn’t move at all, no matter what Su Ping did. It was determined to fight the Inferno Dragon!
"It’s all right. We’ll share this together!" whispered Su Ping.
The Inferno Dragon turned its head and looked at Su Ping. Then, it moved its eyes to another side; it didn’t have the strength to turn its head anymore. But the dragon’s eyes told Su Ping that it was unnecessary!
It refused to share the pain with Su Ping!
Su Ping bit his lip, then touched its scales and clenched a fist. "You must hang on then!"
The Inferno Dragon cried and breathed more and more heavily. It shivered while blood seemed to be mixed with sweat. It was uncertain whether it was sweat or if it was bleeding!
The pet held its
There was nothing Su Ping could do; he could only transmit deity aura into its body to help ease the pain.
The clock ticked one second after the other.
There was no telling how long it had been, but the Inferno Dragon gradually stopped shivering. The black mist on its body was also considerably weakened. It was completely gone after a long time passed; the Inferno Dragon stopped jerking and simply breathed heavily.
Su Ping felt relieved after the last bit of the black mist vanished. It seemed that the Inferno Dragon had defeated the curse.
He had planned to blow his pet up if it couldn’t defeat the curse, so that it would be freed from the effect.
However, there was no longer a need to run away from it since the dragon had been successful.
Roar!
The Inferno Dragon suddenly let out a roar while Su Ping was barely feeling relieved. The sound was aggressive, furious, and bloodthirsty!
The pet’s head left the cover of its arms when it roared. Its eyes had turned completely black and wicked. They couldn’t have been scarier.
A terrifying killing aura was spread out. Even Su Ping felt compelled to step back.
The momentarily dazed Su Ping only thought of calling out to it, "Inferno Dragon!"
He felt that the dragon’s mind was blank, filled with the desire for killing; it didn’t have any other feelings or thoughts.
The Inferno Dragon slowly turned its head when it heard Su Ping’s calling, then fixed its black and scary eyes upon Su Ping. It looked quite aggressive, baring its fangs.
However, it paused when Su Ping was reflected in its black pupils.
The image was reflected in the depths of its eyes, like a candle in absolute darkness!
The next moment, the Inferno Dragon squatted and closed its mouth. Then, it gradually leaned close to Su Ping.
Su Ping raised his head, feeling comforted as he looked at his pet. "You’ve defeated the pain. Good for you."
The Inferno Dragon blinked. Then, it pushed Su Ping with its head, which wasn’t an attack but an intimate nuzzling.
Su Ping laid his hand on its head. Once again, he was able to sense all its happiness and sorrows transmitted from its consciousness. He smiled; it seemed that the Inferno Dragon had won against the ancient curse.
After nuzzling against Su Ping for a moment, the dragon then lay down next to Su Ping and wagged its tail. The blackness in its eyes was replaced by the previous dark red color again.
Su Ping felt rather helpless as he looked at its wagging tail. "You really shouldn’t have learned after the Dark Dragon Hound. You’re supposed to grow into the strongest dragon."
The Inferno Dragon seemed innocent. It held its head high with intimidating momentum when it heard what Su Ping said. It looked quite awe-inspiring.

Su Ping felt amused; he didn’t say anything else. He pressed its body and infused it with deity aura, hoping to examine the pet’s condition.
The Ascendant State old god had specially warned him of the ancient curse, which was Mo Feng’s ultimate skill. It couldn’t be that simple; Su Ping only hoped there weren’t any ramifications.
Su Ping soon realized there was nothing wrong with the Inferno Dragon; rather, it couldn’t have been in a better condition. The energy inside its body seemed to have been refined and doubled.
On the other hand, its consciousness had been significantly improved too. Its mental power was already half as great as his own.
Su Ping knew how extraordinary his own mental power was. It had been just average before he entered the Sea of Illusions. After all, his mental power was among the best even on the Divine Lord Rank after swallowing plenty of spirits in the sea. Anyone with half his mental power could already surpass many genius Star Lords on the rankings.
"Huh?"
Su Ping explored and found something weird deep inside the Inferno Dragon’s astral ocean. There was something akin to a black worm lurking inside; it carried exactly the same aura as the curse did.
The dark aura moved as if sensing Su Ping’s probing and dodging.
He was surprised at this finding. Had the Inferno Dragon refined and digested the curse?
"Can you control this thing?" Su Ping asked the Inferno Dragon telepathically.
The Inferno Dragon realized what Su Ping meant. The black aura suddenly rose and entered the vortex at the center of its astral ocean; the pure, revolving energy was soon dyed black. Then, an ominous, horrifying aura began to spread out of the Inferno Dragon, while its eyes turned completely black.
This time however, the Inferno Dragon was conscious despite the black eyes; Su Ping could feel its emotions.
The Inferno Dragon lowered its head and nuzzled Su Ping. Then, the black light in its eyes faded away, and it was back to normal.
Su Ping saw that the black aura slipped away from the center of the astral ocean and obediently stayed at the edge.
It seems that the power of the curse has been absorbed by the Inferno Dragon. Su Ping’s eyes glittered. He didn’t know if it was a good thing, though; it didn’t seem harmful from what he could see. Su Ping also sensed how the dragon was much stronger than before when the power of the curse enshrouded its body.
I hope everything is fine. If it’s not, I’ll just return to the cultivation site and take it out, Su Ping thought.
He did a few more examinations to ensure the Inferno Dragon was fine, then finally sent it back to the summoning space to take a rest.
Then, he also left the training room.
He had accomplished his objective in the Archean Divinity, which was to condense a second small world. Next, He intended to search for a foundation to create a third small world. If possible, he wanted to reach the Ascendant State with seven small worlds too!
The second world is made of the law of illusion from the Sea of Illusions. The third world requires independent power and laws. What should I use? Su Ping thought carefully.
His appointed maid had already returned by then; she was waiting outside the palace. Her eyes were filled with respect and admiration when she saw Su Ping exit. She had watched the duel because she was worried for his safety, and she was completely awed by him.
Even though the young man was merely a human being, she felt her heart race because of him.
"Master, where are you going?" the maid asked Su Ping respectfully.
