Stellar Transformation-Chapter 192: Episode 9 - 13 Fierce Beast of the Chaotic Star Sea
Only True Master Yan Xu was there from the cultivators, while there were four from the demon cultivators. Both cultivators and demon cultivators were inherently adversaries, a fact known by everyone present, whether from the Tenglong Continent, the Penglai Immortal Domain, or the Purple Flame Demon Prison.
As everyone flew, Qin Yu and Li’er simply watched with amused smiles.
"Yan Xu, no one knows exactly how many Immortal Artifacts there are in the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion, and it’s unlikely that there are multiples of nine. When the time comes, there will definitely be a scramble for them. Can you handle it alone?" Jiao Jiu said with a mocking smile.
Jiao Jiu hailed from the ’Flame Demon Sect,’ and demon cultivators were naturally free-spirited and indifferent to slaughter. The Flame Demon Sect was notably murderous and arrogant among the demon cultivator sects, so Jiao Jiu’s attitude was not surprising.
Yan Xu smiled indifferently, "The Nine Sword Immortal Mansion was left by an Immortal, and based on the location of the last Hiding Sword of the Jade Swords, we have determined this Immortal was, at the very least, a Daluo Golden Immortal. Such a high-level master’s treasures are gifts from the heavens to us. Who ends up obtaining these treasures will depend on individual fate, not merely on the number of people or strength."
"You just love to boast," Jiao Jiu declared scornfully. If cultivators valued demeanor and etiquette, demon cultivators were largely unrestrained and unbound.
"Jiao Jiu, don’t be disrespectful to True Master Yan Xu. It is not right for you to speak to him like this," Situ Xue intervened to support Yan Xu, "Jiao Jiu, does True Master Yan Xu not desire the treasures? Does he not want more people? But it’s out of his control. After all, Penglai Immortal Domain only has one Jade Sword, allowing only two people to come. Considering the relationship between the Purple Sun Sect and the Lanyang Sect, I guess no one wanted to give in, and in the end, only Yan Xu came alone."
"It’s not that True Master Yan Xu doesn’t want to, but he simply cannot," sighed Situ Xue.
Yan Xu remained indifferent, his gaze cold as he looked at Jiao Jiu and Situ Xue, "Gentlemen, let’s not quibble here. Everyone knows how dangerous the Chaotic Star Sea is. Although the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion is only tens of thousands of miles from the border of the Chaotic Star Sea, within these tens of thousands of miles, who knows what fierce beasts might appear...hmph."
"Forget about reaching the Immortal Mansion, those of inadequate strength might get killed by fierce beasts before even getting there. Considering the strength of those around, you two had better be careful," True Master Yan Xu sharply retorted.
Seeing the smile on True Master Yan Xu’s face, which bore a dismissive amusement, Jiao Jiu and Situ Xue coldly huffed and said no more.
At this moment, everyone was flying slowly.
In fact, Gold Wood Island was very close to the border of the Chaotic Star Sea. If they flew at full speed, everyone estimated that they would soon reach the Chaotic Star Sea. However, everyone was very cautious.
The Chaotic Star Sea was notorious, and no one wanted to die at the hands of its fierce beasts before even seeing the Immortal Mansion.
******
An overwhelming aura swept over them, and from afar, the terrifying sound of tidal waves was like the roaring of thousands of Heavenly Thunders. By this point, everyone could clearly hear that a hundred miles away there were towering giant waves while the sea directly below them was very calm.
Everyone knew... the Chaotic Star Sea was just a hundred miles away.
"Everyone."
Yan Mo’s expression was serious as he surveyed the group, "We are not far from the border of the Chaotic Star Sea, and we will be there soon. But before we enter, I must clarify one thing... If we encounter a fierce beast, don’t try desperately to escape one by one!"
Yan Mo’s eyes were frosty, "I, along with Yida and Azure Dragon, will take the lead. True Master Yan Xu and Three-eyed will cover our rear, while everyone else stays in the middle... If any demon beast appears in front, Yida, Azure Dragon, and I will handle it. In the rear, it’ll be True Master Yan Xu and Three-eyed, and it’s best for the others not to act rashly. If we cannot overpower them, just flee directly."
"Yida, Azure Dragon, True Master Yan Xu, Three-eyed, do you have any objections?" Yan Mo appeared as if he were the leader of the group.
Azure Dragon shook his head slightly, "Of course, I have no objections. The Chaotic Star Sea, even though it is just the border, still worries me a bit. We’ll be safer taking the lead. If we let our guard down, the appearance of a beast could throw everyone into complete disarray."
"I have no objections," Yida stated coldly.
True Master Yan Xu also smiled and nodded, "Yan Mo considers everyone."
Seeing the Three-eyed Old Demon nod, Yan Mo spoke loudly, "Good, since the four of you have agreed, I suppose the others won’t mind either." Was there even any need to consider this? Who would object to having the skilled ones in front to block and protect from behind?
"Remember the formation, at the front are me, Yida, and the Azure Dragon, and at the rear are True Master Yan Xu and the Three-eyed Old Demon. No one else may fly ahead or fall behind; they can only stay in the middle," Yan Mo ordered strictly.
It had to be firmly decided at that point.
Otherwise, without some rules, once we encountered a fierce beast, it would probably be disastrous.
Seeing everyone nod, Yan Mo laughed out loud, "Very well, since everyone is in agreement, let’s prepare to enter the Chaotic Star Sea, and take off!"
With Yan Mo, Yida, and the Azure Dragon leading, True Master Yan Xu and the Three-eyed Old Demon trailing, the rest in the middle, the group began to fly toward the Chaotic Star Sea. Even these top figures from the north of the Chaotic Star Sea had never entered it before.
This time, if it were not for the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion, if it were not that the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion was on the borders of the Chaotic Star Sea, who would dare come here?
"Wow!" The crowd exclaimed in unison, their moods surged.
"Truly magnificent," Qin Yu’s eyes lit up as well.
As they neared the Chaotic Star Sea, the group saw an unbelievable marvel.
A few miles away, endless waves a hundred meters high surged, and looking southwards, those hurricane waves seemed boundless. Southward, past a few miles, there were nothing but endless waves and hurricanes.
However, north of that boundary, the water was undisturbed, extremely calm.
Bizarre.
Extremely bizarre, on one side of the sea were hundred-meter-high waves, while the other side was undisturbed. It was as though a huge invisible barrier had completely isolated these two sections of the sea, as if they were in different worlds.
"How mysterious are heaven and earth, such a spectacle is beyond understanding. The laws of heaven and earth are profound and far-reaching, even if we spent tens of millions of years, we’d probably only glimpse a corner of it," True Master Yan Xu exclaimed.
Heaven and earth are mysterious, who could explain it?
Qin Yu then recalled Uncle Lan’s narration; Uncle Lan said it was not some form of a barrier, but an invisible law of heaven and earth... At least the Qin Yu of today couldn’t understand it, even if to Uncle Lan, it might just be referred to as the ’laws of heaven and earth.’ As for comprehending it, that was probably far off.
"To comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, what a realm that must be?" Qin Yu sighed inwardly.
"Everyone be careful, once we enter the region of the Chaotic Star Sea, the nature’s spiritual energy will become highly turbulent. At the same time, those whose spirits are unsettled will also become extremely irritable. We must all keep our spirit platforms clear and fly at high speed toward the location of the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion," True Master Yan Xu loudly reminded.
Everyone nodded.
The Chaotic Star Sea, not only were there hurricane waves, but the nature’s spiritual energy was also extremely chaotic.
In the Chaotic Star Sea, ordinary people would feel irritable and agitated, and it was easy for those with unsteady spirits to become possessed by madness to the extreme.
It was speculated that the reason the ferocious beasts had low intelligence and were violently bloodthirsty might be due to such environmental influences. An aquatic animal, born confused and with low intelligence, naturally becomes irritable and frenzied due to the environment. Growing up this way from the start, it naturally becomes what they call a fierce beast.
"Different lands breed different creatures, and even the Chaotic Star Sea has spawned its special breed of fierce beasts."
******
The group flew from the calm seas into the airspace above the Chaotic Star Sea.
Everyone felt a strange change.
The concentration of spiritual energy had increased by tens of times, yet it was wildly chaotic. If the spiritual energy in places like the Hidden Dragon Continent were like docile rabbits, here, it seemed like an enraged gorilla, affecting everyone’s state of mind as well.
Chaos, irritability, those of unstable temperament were naturally affected.
"Maintain the clarity of your spirit platform, fly towards the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion at full speed!" True Master Yan Xu’s spiritual communication suddenly resounded in everyone’s minds.
Those who were affected just then regained their senses and were also shocked upon regaining them.
The name of the Chaotic Star Sea was indeed well-deserved.
Qin Yu took a deep breath; he too had been slightly affected just now, but his resolute nature easily warded off the influence. Hearing True Master Yan Xu’s voice, everyone immediately increased their flying speed, heading towards the direction of the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion at high velocity.
"Big Brother Qin Yu, this place is also a good spot for tempering one’s nature and refining one’s cultivation," Li’er communicated with a smile to Qin Yu.
"Indeed, staying in such an environment for a long time certainly firms one’s temperament. And the cultivation becomes increasingly refined under the tempering of the chaotic spiritual energy." Qin Yu agreed with this observation.
Li’er suddenly became curious, "Big Brother Qin Yu, we haven’t seen that fierce beast yet. What does it look like?"
"Fierce beasts, it’s better if we don’t encounter them," Qin Yu was not as curious as Li’er.
The group moved quickly. During the conversation between Qin Yu and Li’er, about a minute had passed, and they had already covered a thousand miles, but at that moment... it seemed their luck had run out. Everyone hoped the fierce beast would not appear, but still, the fierce beast showed up.
Among the surging waves, a massive figure appeared.
A shark, over a hundred meters in length!
But this was no ordinary shark, its eyes were blood red, and a brutish aura naturally emanated from it, no... as they drew closer, they realized this could not simply be called a shark, because beneath its fins, it hid two sharp claws.
"ROAR~~~" The shark emitted a terrifying strange sound, its pair of blood-red eyes fixed on the group, clearly having locked its target on them. The shark’s speed suddenly increased by several times, charging directly at the group.
"Be careful, it’s a fierce beast!"
Yan Mo’s voice echoed in everyone’s minds, "Don’t run around heedlessly, fierce beasts are almost equal to divine beasts, with very strong attack power. Don’t be careless. Azure Dragon, Yida, the three of us will handle it."
Spiritual communication was merely a thought, extremely fast.
As soon as the spiritual communication echoed in their minds, Azure Dragon, Yida, and Yan Mo rushed towards the fierce beast, the shark. As for the others, they naturally wouldn’t act recklessly, just from the aura alone, this fierce beast was definitely not an ordinary one.
The Azure Dragon charged at the forefront, its arms suddenly thickening while they were covered in blue scales, turning his hands into a pair of dragon claws.
The fierce beast shark opened its wide mouth, its sharp teeth so formidable that everyone believed they could even bite through top-grade spiritual artifacts. The shark moved incredibly fast, tracing mystifying trajectories. Having grown up in the bloodshed of the Chaotic Star Sea, this beast’s combat abilities were extraordinarily strong.
The Azure Dragon turned into an arc, diving directly beneath the shark, ready to strike its belly with dragon claws.
With a "clang", a sharp claw suddenly extended from beneath the shark’s fin, lunging directly at the Azure Dragon. The dragon tried to evade but couldn’t manage in the short distance, ultimately clashing its dragon-formed hands against the shark’s sharp claws.
The Azure Dragon was forced back, while the shark roared violently, becoming even more ferocious.
"Haha, Green Dragon Yan Lang, you’re quite weak, watch me," Yan Mo communicated with spiritual sense and then charged toward the fierce beast shark.
"Yan Mo, don’t be careless. A fierce beast of the same level as a divine beast isn’t much different, and fierce beasts have even stronger combat instincts," the Azure Dragon immediately warned. He had once fought with the fierce beast shark and naturally knew the shark’s strength.
A heartbeat-skipping sound ensued, reminiscent of a knife scraping on glass—the result of Yida’s right hand wrestling with the shark’s fin. Yida’s right hand ended up lacerated, and blood dripped down.
But then—
Yan Mo, still in his human form, collided head-on with the fierce beast shark.
After a massive roar, both Yan Mo and the fierce beast shark paused briefly, seemingly evenly matched. The shark enraged and roared, opening its massive mouth to essentially shatter Yan Mo with one bite.
With a hiss, an immense Azure Dragon suddenly appeared, its claws grabbing the unprepared shark, instantaneously creating a huge wound from which blood flowed. The incensed shark roared furiously, lashing its tail against the Azure Dragon.
The Azure Dragon dodged swiftly, but the tail still struck the edge of its dragon body. Some scales shattered, blood staining red and dripping into the sea.
"Azure Dragon, let me kill him," Yan Mo said furiously.
Suddenly, Yan Mo transformed into his original form, a black dragon virtually identical in size to the Azure Dragon, but with blood-red eyes. This was the divine beast ’Black Dragon’, also a profoundly formidable dragon among the Dragon Clan.
With a splatter, blood flew in all directions, chunks of flesh falling into the sea as the fierce beast shark was split in two, dying on the spot.
At that moment, Yan Mo transformed back into his human form, holding an inner core in his hand with a cold expression: "An Early Kongming fierce beast thinks it can oppose me, courting death."
The prowess of an Early Kongming fierce beast wasn’t much different from an Early Kongming divine beast. The Azure Dragon initially didn’t transform into its original form, wasn’t fully displaying its strength, naturally at a disadvantage. After Yan Mo used his original form, he killed it with a single strike.
However... none of those present had been to the Chaotic Star Sea before and were unaware of some prohibitions there!
The scent of blood!
Especially the scent of blood from non-fierce beasts would drive the surrounding fierce beasts into a frenzy, yet just then, both the Azure Dragon and Yida had shed blood, and they didn’t know of this taboo, so...
