Stellar Transformation-Chapter 111 - 5 episodes 14 - s Life Swap

As Qin Yu watched the flying sword coated in venom, his mind stirred, and flames suddenly burst forth on the surface of his Yan Chi Sword. Under the burning flames, the venom sizzled away, and Qin Yu distinctly felt that controlling the Yan Chi Sword became effortless.

"Roar!"

The massive python lunged to bite, and the Yan Chi Sword flew speedily toward Qin Yu, who grabbed it instantly. Having been coated with the yellow fluid once, Qin Yu dared not let the python bite his sword again. Who knew what other tricks this python might possess?

After all, if it dared to bite, it surely had a way to counter the flying sword.

"Haha, indeed, it is a splendid flying sword. I’ll eat you first, then seize your flying sword," Cha Ge’s spiritual communication echoed in Qin Yu’s mind as the enormous python’s body rapidly began to move, transforming into a red illusion.

Activating the Star Domain, Qin Yu moved with extreme speed.

"This guy is way too fast, especially its head and tail," Qin Yu thought with a headache. Although he could dodge using the Star Domain, the energy it consumed was substantial, and Qin Yu couldn’t maintain this state indefinitely.

In an instant, Qin Yu darted to the underbelly of the Red Blood Python.

With one hand shaped like a claw, Qin Yu’s grip pierced directly through the scale armor of the python’s belly. The power of the Flame Burning Gloves was unquestionable. The python screamed in pain, its mouth spewing yellow viscous fluid and its cold, venomous fangs clearly visible.

"Smack!"

A red afterimage struck. Just as Qin Yu thought to move, he had already been hit.

The forceful strike landed on his chest, the sound of bones cracking followed—Qin Yu’s ribcage must have broken at least two ribs, while all his internal organs experienced severe trauma. Blood spewed directly from Qin Yu’s mouth.

"If this continues, that python will surely be the death of me. I could use Meteor Escape, but that would take a long time to heal... It’s better to... fight it out," Qin Yu thought.

Back when he was being chased by the Red Blood Water Python, Qin Yu had already formulated a plan. It was a plan to be used only in desperate situations, and at this moment, Qin Yu had decided to execute it.

"Wretched beast."

Qin Yu’s hand, sharp as a claw, pierced through the scales of the Red Blood Water Python. The python howled in pain, its tail lashing out again, but Qin Yu almost simultaneously flipped his body to land on the python’s neck, the tail striking the very spot Qin Yu had just wounded.

"Roar~~"

The python, realizing Qin Yu had reached its neck, furiously turned its head. Opening its mouth wide, it lunged at Qin Yu to bite. In Cha Ge’s imagination, Qin Yu would definitely dodge.

After all, a bite would definitely finish him off, thus leading to Qin Yu’s death.

However...

"A life for a life!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Qin Yu suddenly roared, holding the Yan Chi Sword in his hand, with the Star Power fully integrated, and also the full explosion of his muscular strength, Qin Yu gritted his teeth and plunged the sword fiercely downwards.

"Let’s see if you can still live with your head slashed off," Qin Yu’s chilling voice reached the mind of Red Blood Water Python Cha Ge.

The Red Blood Water Python’s mouth was wide open, its venomous fangs clearly visible, ready to bite down, but Qin Yu’s spiritually communicated words surprised the python.

A head lost still alive?

"How could this be? The soul resides in the brain, and decapitation means certain death. Cha Ge never wished to die; even in his frenzy just now, he never thought about dying, especially since he was the Vice Cave Master of the Red Blood Cave Mansion."

"To perish together with a cultivator?"

However, waves of intense pain hit him, and he was stunned. Qin Yu’s Flame Sword had already pierced his neck, and then, with a fierce slash at the neck, Cha Ge bit toward Qin Yu in a mad frenzy as if it were his final act.

The python’s head tumbled down, the red, icy eyes of the Red Blood Water Python Cha Ge staring at Qin Yu, filled with disbelief. Was he truly killed?

Even though his head was severed, he was still conscious for several seconds.

"Puff~~"

Fresh blood spurted violently from the severed neck as the headless body of the Red Blood Water Python continued to wriggle and twitch.

Meanwhile, Cha Ge’s head had already bitten through Qin Yu’s body, with two fangs completely piercing through his abdomen, creating a horrifying large hole, and completely shattering his spleen, his liver also sustained fatal damage.

Seeing the disbelief in Cha Ge’s red eyes, a smile formed on Qin Yu’s lips.

Feeling waves of dizziness, Qin Yu quickly waved his hand to store the enormous corpse and head of the Red Blood Water Python into the space ring. Destroying the evidence was crucial. Qin Yu was very aware that even with the constant support of the Meteor Tear, he couldn’t last much longer.

"Break."

Qin Yu immediately dived under a coral, but his control over his body grew weaker and weaker.

"It’s up to you now, Meteor Tear."

Afterwards, Qin Yu completely lost control over his body. The suction force of heaven and earth attracted Qin Yu’s soul, which seemed to be about to leave his body. During this moment, without disappointing Qin Yu, a familiar warm flow enveloped his soul.

No longer sensing the suction force and feeling this warm flow, Qin Yu ceased to think further.

Quietly, Qin Yu’s body began to heal slowly...

At this moment, a woman was gliding through the sea. Dressed in a green robe, she held an ancient zither in her arms. Her jet-black hair was casually tied with a green ribbon, cascading and fluttering at her waist, which was accentuated by a white belt, making her bust appear fuller, while her face always carried a serene smile.

The green-robed woman was not using sword control, and although she seemed to move slowly, she actually moved thousands of miles in an instant with a mysterious effect similar to ’shrinking land into inches,’ much faster than Qin Yu.

"Eh?"

The green-robed woman suddenly stopped. Her graceful neck turned as her gaze fell upon the coral cluster where Qin Yu was hiding, as if she could see through the coral. A look of surprise appeared on her face, followed by a calm smile.

With a wave of her sleeve, she revealed her snow-white jade arm.

At this moment, Qin Yu’s body also disappeared within the coral, and the green-robed woman continued on her way with the ancient zither, vanishing from where she stood.

******

In the Red Blood Territory, within a secret chamber of the Red Blood Cave Mansion.

The Cave Master of the Red Blood Cave Mansion, Cha Hong, was sitting cross-legged on a cushion. Waves of Demon Essence Power were constantly shooting towards a floating black jade box in front of him. This black jade box was very ancient, and on its surface, there were the characters "Nine Swords" written in a dynamic, flying-dragon-dancing-phoenix script.

Cha Hong, the true leader of an eight-million-mile area under the Red Blood Cave Mansion’s domain, was far more powerful than his two brothers.

Early-stage Cave Void!

This was Cha Hong’s strength. In the world of Undersea Demon Cultivators, where the Nascent Soul Stage was already among the top-tier, the Cave Void Realm was considered that of a super expert. It should be known that even the Nine Evil Hall’s nine Purple Evil Flood Dragons among the Three Undersea Forces were merely at the Cave Void Realm.

Ever since he had obtained this black jade box a hundred years ago, Cha Hong had been extremely excited. Since then, he entrusted the affairs of the Red Blood Cave Mansion to his two younger brothers, while he himself frequently went into seclusion, each time for several years.

This time, he had been in seclusion for three years already.

With a sigh, Cha Hong stopped channeling his Demon Essence Power and took a careful look at the black jade box. Cha Hong slightly nodded and said, "Soon, I should be able to succeed within three years. I’ve been trying for a hundred years, I don’t mind another three."

Cha Hong, in order to open this black jade box, had been continuously consuming talisman energy over the past hundred years, attempting to unlock the box.

"Such a simple ’Dust Removal Seal’ is already so powerful; the one who sealed it is terrifyingly strong." Cha Hong’s face was full of admiration, "Truly worthy of being an Immortal, with such strength, merely lifting a hand or moving a foot could obliterate me."

The Dust Removal Seal was considered the most basic talisman in the Cultivation World, generally used to prevent dust.

How strong could a talisman that prevents dust be? If it were a powerful talisman, once attacked, it would strike back. However, this ’Dust Removal’ seal merely protected the item from dust contamination and did not retaliate.

Luckily it did not strike back; otherwise, with Cha Hong’s strength, how could he open the jade box?

Merely the simplest Dust Removal Seal, and Cha Hong had been like an indefatigable worker, exhausting the energy of the Dust Removal Seal over a hundred years and often going into seclusion to drain a bit of energy. After such a long time, the energy within the Dust Removal Seal was nearly depleted.

"Penglai Immortal Domain, Purple Flame Demon Prison, Green Dragon Palace, Nine Evil Hall, Bishui Mansion. I bet none of you would think that one of the Nine Swords is with me. Hmph, one day, the three great powers of the Undersea Demon Cultivators will become four!"

A gleam flashed in Cha Hong’s eyes.

Cha Hong harbored ambition, and his ambition was reliant on this black jade box.

"However, my current strength is still not enough; I at least need to reach the late-stage Cave Void to even speak to them. The most important thing now is to keep a low profile and not let them know that one of the jade boxes is with me," Cha Hong recalled the process when he initially obtained the black jade box.

Having thought it through again, Cha Hong confirmed that all those who knew were killed by him, not a single one had escaped, absolutely nothing could go wrong.

One couldn’t blame Cha Hong for being cautious, for if the powerful forces like the Green Dragon Palace and the Nine Evil Hall learned about this treasure, with Cha Hong’s strength alone, he could hardly fend off their aggression. To possess a treasure without the requisite power was a disaster.

Thus, he must endure in silence.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

Suddenly, there were continuous knocks on the stone door from outside the secret chamber, as if someone was knocking heavily.

Cha Hong was furious; he strictly forbade any disturbances during his seclusion since he was consuming the energy of the talisman inside the secret chamber. Naturally, Cha Hong felt like a thief with a guilty conscience—anyone approaching near the door made him anxious.

"Who is it? Knocking while I’m in seclusion; are you seeking death?"

Cha Hong’s deep voice transmitted outward.

"Cave Master, a disaster has occurred; the Vice Cave Master is dead."

Cha Hong’s figure moved and vanished from the secret chamber instantly, and the black jade box disappeared along with him.

...

Outside the stone door, three protectors stood respectfully at the entrance, their faces filled with anxiety.

"Creak~~~" As the stone door opened, Cha Hong, the Cave Master of Red Blood Cave Mansion, walked out with a grim expression and immediately shouted at the three major guardians in front of him, "Speak, who exactly is dead? Tell me everything in detail."

The Silver Armor Guardian stepped forward and said, "Cave Master, Vice Cave Master Cha Ge and Vice Cave Master Cha Po went out three months ago to pursue a cultivator, and now Vice Cave Master Cha Ge is dead."

"Pursuing a cultivator?"

Although Cha Hong was furious about his brother’s death, he remained sober enough to know that impulsive actions wouldn’t lead to great achievements.

"Cave Master, some time ago, the son of Protector Sang Mo was killed by a cultivator. Afterwards, Protector Sang Mo pursued this cultivator, but he was truly incompetent; he couldn’t catch him. It seems that this cultivator also killed many of Sang Mo’s clan members. Sang Mo issued a reward with the Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact ’Thunder Hammer’ as the prize," the Silver Armor Guardian explained everything.

Upon hearing this, Cha Hong roughly understood what had happened.

His third brother had always wanted to possess an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact, but such artifacts were not easily obtained. Cha Hong once had a spare Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact, which he then gave to his second brother, Cha Po.

In Cha Hong’s eyes, since Cha Po was strong, combining his strength with an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact would be a force to be reckoned with. However, giving it to his third brother, who was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul, would be a waste of the artifact.

Naturally, Cha Ge had always wanted to obtain an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact, which was not hard to imagine why he took action this time.

"Old San is dead? And he went together with Old Two, could that cultivator be very powerful?" Cha Hong asked doubtfully.

"That cultivator is very weak, not even having reached the Nascent Soul Stage. Sang Mo couldn’t catch him because this cultivator was very fast. We really didn’t understand why the Vice Cave Master died," said the Silver Armor Guardian.

Cha Hong nodded slightly.

If that cultivator truly was powerful enough to kill Cha Ge, Sang Mo would likely have been killed earlier.

"What about Old Two? He was with Old Three, wasn’t he? With Old Two there, how could Old Three die?" Cha Hong demanded.

The Silver Armor Guardian shook his head and said, "I don’t know, but Vice Cave Master Cha Po should be fine—the Soul Jade Scroll hasn’t shattered. As soon as I learned that Vice Cave Master Cha Ge had died, I immediately came to inform you, Cave Master. I didn’t have time to ask Vice Cave Master Cha Po."

Cha Hong immediately took out a Communication Order.

"Old Two, Old Three is dead, what are you doing?"

At that moment, Cha Po, who was chasing Little Black, was also extremely annoyed. Although his speed wasn’t slower than Little Black’s, when Little Black transformed into black light and darted through narrow crevices, his own bulky body could only force its way through, naturally slowing him down.

"What, the third brother is dead!" Cha Po was startled.

"What are you doing?"

"I’m chasing a Black Hawk."

"You get back here at full speed!" Cha Hong’s message was filled with extreme anger. Knowing that his third brother was dead and seeing how furious his elder brother was, Cha Po no longer cared about the irritating Black Hawk and hurriedly rushed back to Red Blood Cave Mansion at his fastest speed.
