Stellar Transformation-Chapter 155: Episode 7 - 8 Uncle Lan Finally Appears
Chapter 8: The Appearance of Uncle Lan
Hou Fei was unable to move, but that didn’t stop his Spiritual Sense from detecting everything around him. At that moment, he clearly saw Qin Yu charging recklessly towards Di Long, the first to attack. Hou Fei knew the strength of both Qin Yu and Di Long.
"Big Brother, no, Big Brother!"
Hou Fei was so anxious he nearly cried; his Demon Essence Power kept vibrating violently, but the power exerted by the Three-eyed Demon and the Azure Dragon was simply too overpowering. In reality, both the Three-eyed Demon and the Azure Dragon were only using a calculated amount of power to bind Hou Fei, considering his capabilities.
Qin Yu heard Hou Fei’s voice in his mind, his lips curling slightly upward while his eyes glowed with an even firmer light.
That flickering, awe-inspiring gaze was the same as when Qin Yu had faced death alongside his father and Wu Xing. Qin Yu didn’t have many friends, but once he regarded someone as a brother, he would go to any lengths for them.
"Hou Fei, die."
Di Long’s massive dragon body surged towards Hou Fei, but suddenly he noticed a blinding golden light rapidly approaching him. At a glance, the golden light resembled a burning meteor, startling Di Long.
"Qin Yu."
With a sweep of his Spiritual Sense, Di Long recognized it was Qin Yu and was immediately overjoyed, his face quickly turning cruel.
A direct clash with Di Long?
Transformed into his true form, Di Long was beyond Qin Yu’s ability to contend with, and Qin Yu was fully aware of this. However, there was no room for retreat at this moment. If he did, Di Long’s horn would pierce straight into the defenseless Hou Fei.
In the midst of rapid flight, a frenzy suddenly flared in Qin Yu’s eyes. He formed Hand Seals with both hands and suddenly let out a thunderous shout, "Activate!" The shout resonated throughout the entire Black Stone Island.
Star Domain—Nine Stars Shining!
The golden radiance on Qin Yu’s body grew more blinding, as the nebulous power of the Silver Star surged forth tumultuously. At this moment, within Qin Yu’s Dantian, amongst the numerous silver stars, nine meteors kept rotating. These nine meteors seemed ablaze, each emitting a dense and terrifying golden power of the stars.
One merged with the body while the other eight transformed into golden illusions.
Di Long, seeing the original single streak of golden light suddenly become nine, couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Qin Yu formed another Hand Seal and bellowed, "Break!"
In his previous battle with Xiang Yang, Qin Yu had exhausted the Silver Star Power within him, appearing as if the Nine Stars United. However, having reached the Late-stage Meteor, Qin Yu now actually possessed nine meteors, making this technique’s power at its greatest when executed now.
The nine figures started to spin, mirroring the trajectory of the rotating Nine Stars in Qin Yu’s Dantian. Suddenly, the nine golden figures merged into one, transforming into an extraordinarily dazzling meteor, whose light was visible from thousands of miles away.
Nine Stars United, Meteor Strike!
Di Long’s dragon eyes also burst forth with vicious light, his dragon form’s speed accelerating once more as he unleashed all his Demon Essence Power in full force.
"Bang!"
The intense collision caused the space itself to waver as the ripples in the air spread in all directions. The other three Purple Evil Flood Dragons were instantly stunned, only to see Di Long revert to his human form as blood gushed from his mouth, instantly staining his body red.
Qin Yu also fell powerlessly from the sky, his face deathly pale with blood staining his body as well.
Both were gravely injured!
"To think they both suffered heavy losses. He truly is Hou Fei’s brother; it seems this Qin Yu also has some tricks up his sleeve," the Three-eyed Demon exclaimed in surprise.
The Azure Dragon was also full of admiration.
However, was it really a case where both parties were equally injured?
Though Di Long’s body had sustained severe damage and he was no longer able to fight, his Nascent Soul was still at the late-stage Cave Void. Qin Yu had not suffered much physical injury, but the most crucial core within him—the Nine Stars cores—had been burned, and his power had greatly diminished.
His muscles were torn, and his internal organs had been damaged by the violent impact. Streams of the Meteor Tear enveloped all his wounds like soothing streams of clear water. Qin Yu struggled to control his form, standing on the Flame Sword in midair.
Di Xu immediately transformed back into human form, picked up the severely injured Di Long. Di Long’s face was cold as he looked at Qin Yu and then at Hou Fei, ordering, "Kill Hou Fei first, then Qin Yu!" At this moment, Hou Fei had no strength to resist, and Qin Yu was also severely injured.
"Yes, Big Brother."
Di Nai and Di Jian were still in the form of the Purple Evil Flood Dragons, and a deep voice came from their bellies. Then, the two Purple Evil Flood Dragons sped towards Hou Fei. The severely wounded Qin Yu grew frantic and, disregarding everything, controlled the Flame Sword to fly over.
However, Qin Yu’s flight speed was far too slow due to his severe injuries.
"Uncle Lan, why haven’t you come yet?"
Seeing that he could not intervene, Qin Yu became anxious.
Just as the two Purple Evil Flood Dragons were about to stab Hou Fei’s body with their black horns—
"Roar~~~~"
Suddenly, a thunderous roar filled the sky. Hou Fei, who had appeared as a gigantic ape, underwent another transformation. His body rapidly shrank, and in an instant, he was back to the height of an ordinary person, no taller than the average human.
The two Purple Evil Flood Dragons missed their target and immediately turned back.
"Hou Fei, stop struggling. Whether you transform or not, you will not be able to escape the bindings that the Green Dragon and the Three-eyed Demon have placed on you," the Azure Dragon said with a hint of disdain in his eyes. However, the Green Dragon’s face suddenly changed, as did the face of the Three-eyed Old Demon.
The two Purple Evil Flood Dragons turned back and attacked Hou Fei once more.
"Snap!"
Hou Fei shook his hands and feet, and the bindings added by the Green Dragon and the Three-eyed Old Demon were broken. Hou Fei’s figure flashed like lightning, and with brutal punches, he sent Di Nai flying, who then transformed back into human form, blood spraying across the sky.
When Hou Fei’s small fists landed on Di Jian, Di Jian was also sent flying hundreds of meters back. His power was greater than Di Nai’s, but he did not immediately transform back into human form.
"Feifei."
Qin Yu’s eyes widened.
"How is this possible?"
Di Long, Di Jian, Di Xu, Di Nai—the four of them had their eyes wide open. The Azure Dragon and the Three-eyed Old Demon, who were the first to realize something was wrong, looked at Hou Fei with eyes as if they were looking at a monster. Teng Shan, Lou Ke, and a group of others just watched in a daze.
Even though Hou Fei was now of an ordinary person’s height, his appearance was completely different from before.
Silver hair, golden eyes, purple lips.
In this moment, Hou Fei presented an even more terrifying impression than when he had entered the Frenzy State.
"He has transformed again!"
The Azure Dragon couldn’t believe its eyes. Divine beasts were already powerful, and being able to transform meant elevating their attack power to another level. For instance, the third eye of the Three-eyed Demon could greatly enhance its attack power.
However, Hou Fei, under the Frenzy State, managed to transform again.
"For harming my Big Brother, die."
Hou Fei’s indifferent gaze fell upon Di Long as he moved, instantly closing the distance with a speed even faster than Qin Yu’s fastest. Hou Fei was monstrously powerful at this moment, despite his reduced size.
His strength was even greater than when he took on the form of a giant ape, and his speed had also escalated to another tier.
Di Xu, who stood beside Di Long, couldn’t react in time. He reverted to his true form while simultaneously swinging his long stick at Hou Fei, only to see Hou Fei wave his hand, and the Black Stick appeared out of nowhere, smashing Di Xu’s stick down.
"Bang!"
The Black Stick sent the Purple Evil Flood Dragon, which Di Xu had become, flying. Di Xu instantly changed back to human form and fell to the ground, weakened. In just a moment, three of the four Di Long brothers—Di Long, Di Xu, and Di Nai—had lost all their combat abilities, leaving only Di Jian with some fight left.
Hou Fei’s gaze turned to Di Long, who was instantly alarmed. But Hou Fei showed no mercy and swung his stick down. It was after seeing Qin Yu and Di Long fighting desperately that Hou Fei, in his Frenzy State, transformed again.
"Hou Fei, die."
Hou Fei’s Black Stick couldn’t fall anymore, because it was fully bound by a force of Demon Essence Power. Then, a clawed shadow broke through the air, Hou Fei’s Black Stick merged into his body and, with a somersault, he flipped dozens of miles away.
"Azure Dragon!"
Seeing the Azure Dragon, Hou Fei’s brows furrowed slightly. It was indeed the Azure Dragon that had just interfered with his attack. Although Hou Fei’s strength had increased significantly, he was still no match for the Azure Dragon, who was an Early Kongming Divine Beast.
Hou Fei was merely a Nascent Soul Late Stage Divine Beast; even after two transformations, the inherent gap between them remained vast. If Hou Fei were at Late-stage Cave Void, he would have certainly been able to defeat the Azure Dragon, but he was only at Nascent Soul Late Stage.
"Three-eyed, what kind of divine beast is this Hou Fei, anyway? I suppose even you can’t imagine it. But such a threat, will you let him exist?" the Azure Dragon said with a smirk to Three-eyed.
"Of course not."
The Three-eyed Demon employed an illusion technique, taking on the guise of a green-clad young man. The third eye in the middle of the young man’s forehead suddenly split open, shooting out a green beam of light straight at Hou Fei.
The Three-eyed Demon had made a fierce attack right away.
"Bang!"
Hou Fei swung his stick for a strike, the green light hitting the Black Stick. Hou Fei was sent flying backwards, yet the Black Stick remained undamaged.
"What kind of spiritual artifact is that Black Stick?" The Three-eyed Demon was shocked.
Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts displayed different degrees of power in the hands of various masters. However, despite the immense power of the Three-eyed Demon’s deadly strike, to the Demon, it seemed that, given Hou Fei’s abilities, even a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact should have sustained some damage, but the Black Stick showed none.
"What kind of spiritual artifact? It’s your Marquis’s Fire Burning Stick, specially made to smash you frogs," Hou Fei roared.
At this moment, Hou Fei couldn’t care less about anything else. If others wanted to kill him, was he supposed to just stand there and let them? Hou Fei moved like lightning, instantly reaching the Three-eyed Demon’s side and swung his stick down.
"Clang!"
The Black Stick collided with the crystalline right hand of the Three-eyed Demon, emitting a sound like metal striking metal.
"Three-eyed, still holding back?"
With an angry roar from the Azure Dragon, a terrifying Demon Essence Power radiated from its body, enveloping tens of miles of space in an instant. Hou Fei was unable to dodge in time, and was completely bound by the endless Demon Essence Power, his speed drastically reduced.
Hou Fei struggled, but the binding force grew stronger.
"Hou Fei, although your true form is extremely rare and precious, it’s a pity that you’re only at the Nascent Soul Late Stage. If you were at the Late-stage Cave Void, today neither I nor Three-eyed would be a match for you. With a Divine Beast like you around, I estimate my Dragon Clan wouldn’t be able to rest easy. How could I tolerate you?"
At this moment, the heavily injured Di Long raised an eyebrow: "Dragon Clan?"
From what Di Long knew, there was only a single Azure Dragon in the Green Dragon Palace, so where was this Dragon Clan coming from? Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in Di Long’s mind, he thought of a possibility, but kept it to himself. For now, killing Hou Fei and Qin Yu was of utmost importance.
Just as the Azure Dragon was about to unleash a killing move—
"Ah~~"
Hou Fei suddenly trembled in pain, and then his body began to slowly change, from silver fur and golden eyes back to its original form, an ordinary ape. Hou Fei appeared to have gone through a severe illness, devoid of any strength.
"Haha, looks like your transformation isn’t without limits after all."
The Azure Dragon laughed loudly.
Hou Fei was also frantically furious. According to his Inheritance Memory, entering the Frenzy State might make his muscles and bones ache afterward, but there were supposed to be no side effects. Nor was there supposed to be a time restriction. However, this second transformation wasn’t something Hou Fei at this moment could manage.
Hou Fei was too anxious and had reached the peak of his anger, which allowed him to successfully transform, but the transformation didn’t last long, and now he didn’t even have the strength to raise his hand.
"That monkey was very arrogant just now, and now he has no strength at all, at the mercy of others." The Three-eyed Old Demon said with a chuckle, no longer showing any sign of nervousness. A powerless Divine Beast was no different from a powerless bug.
The Three-eyed Old Demon glanced at the Azure Dragon: "Azure Dragon, are you not going to strike and kill him?"
"Three-eyed, I’ll give you a chance. This monkey is an extremely rare Divine Beast, shall I let you kill him?" The Azure Dragon said magnanimously, at this moment neither the Azure Dragon nor the Three-eyed Old Demon were in a hurry, but the Azure Dragon suddenly looked at Qin Yu with doubt.
The Azure Dragon had just seen Qin Yu fight desperately for Hou Fei.
Logically, they were now trying to kill Hou Fei, which should make Qin Yu incredibly anxious, so why did Qin Yu not seem anxious at all at the moment, even showing a slight smile?
"Uncle Lan!"
Qin Yu immediately paid his respects. Seeing Uncle Lan suddenly appear, with a smile on his face and not the slightest sign of urgency, Qin Yu knew that Hou Fei would definitely not encounter any mishaps. Naturally, Qin Yu felt at ease.
Upon hearing Qin Yu’s voice, Hou Fei opened his eyes in disbelief, looked towards the distance with joy, and eagerly called out: "Master!"
The Azure Dragon and Three-eyed Old Demon were both shocked. If someone was behind them and they hadn’t detected them, then that person’s strength must have been much greater than theirs. The Azure Dragon and Three-eyed Old Demon immediately turned to look—
Uncle Lan, in a drifting green robe, wore a faint smile on his face.
"Fei Fei, you were too reckless." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Uncle Lan waved his sleeve, and a ray of light shot into Hou Fei’s body. In just an instant, Hou Fei’s injuries were completely healed, as if he had never been wounded at all.
