Stellar Transformation-Chapter 378: Episode 12 - 68 The Three Demon Emperors
The space within the Third Layer of the Ten Thousand Beasts List seemed nearly infinite, and Qin Yu, as the master of the Ten Thousand Beasts List, instantly became aware of the entirety of the Third Layer. The Third Layer housed seven Demon Emperors.
"It’s actually these three people!" Qin Yu was extremely surprised in his heart.
When he had opened the Third Layer of the Ten Thousand Beasts List, the four Demon Emperors who had respectfully addressed him as ’Master’ were not very strong; the weakest was a First Level Demon Emperor, and the strongest was only a Fifth Level Demon Emperor.
Those four Demon Emperors weren’t of much help to Qin Yu, but what truly attracted his attention were the other three great Demon Emperors.
The strength of these three Demon Emperors was formidable.
So formidable that it made Qin Yu’s heart tremble.
Two Seventh Level Demon Emperors and one Eighth Level Demon Emperor!
"It’s been a long time," a voice resonated in Qin Yu’s mind through telepathic communication. Qin Yu focused his attention on the person greeting him—the lean and dark man who looked like a youth.
However, his skin glistened with an indescribable light, and his gaze was much deeper.
"Mr. Wu Lan," Qin Yu felt a mix of surprise and joy in his heart.
The same Wu Lan who in the Ni Yang Realm had determined who would enter the Ninth Layer of the Nine-layered Heaven was actually one of the great Demon Emperors of the Third Layer of the Ten Thousand Beasts List. Qin Yu also had a favorable impression of this old acquaintance.
With a thought from Qin Yu,
All seven Demon Emperors of the Ten Thousand Beasts List appeared on the land of the Jiang Lan Realm. Although the power of these seven Demon Emperors was strong, even surpassing Qin Yu in some cases, Qin Yu was the master of the Ten Thousand Beasts List.
The seven.
"Subordinate Ming Zheng, pays respects to the Master," a robust giant reverently said, this giant was the weakest among the seven, merely a First Level Demon Emperor.
"Subordinate Dong Xue, pays respects to the Master," a beautiful woman in white respectfully said, this woman was the only female among them, with the strength of a Fourth Level Demon Emperor.
"Subordinate Ding Jue, pays respects to the Master," this was a Third-level Demon Emperor middle-aged man.
"Subordinate Yun Ming, pays respects to the Master," this one was the strongest among the four, a Fifth Level Demon Emperor.
All four of these Demon Emperors had Divine Beasts for their original forms, with only Yun Ming being an Upper Level Divine Beast, while the others were Intermediate Divine Beasts, and some were Lower Level Divine Beasts... As for the other three great Demon Emperors, Qin Yu couldn’t see through them.
"You four may rest to the side for now," Qin Yu said indifferently.
"Yes, Master." The four were very respectful. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Clearly, these four great Demon Emperors seemed to understand their own place and obediently moved aside. However, these four Demon Emperors had never approached the other three Demon Emperors.
Among the other three great Demon Emperors, one was the lean and dark Wu Lan, next to him stood an extremely burly man, and a tall, thin, and aloof man was at the side, not casting a single glance at Qin Yu.
"Haha, who would have thought? In just a few years, the youngster who only reached the Great Success Stage while wearing Yanxuan’s Ring has now achieved the Emperor Level Realm," said the extremely burly man as he laughed heartily.
This burly man’s tiger-like eyes burst forth with lightning, full of domineering aura.
"You are... the Guardian?" Qin Yu immediately recalled the past, in the Ni Yang Realm back then, so many people had to pass through Qingyun Road, and that Guardian was the burly man right in front of him.
"That’s right, it’s me," the burly man said proudly, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Ye Qu... Er, my original form should also be considered a Demon Beast, I guess."
Qin Yu appeared slightly astonished.
"What do you mean by ’should be regarded as?’"
Wu Lan, standing to one side, said with a smile, "Qin Yu, Ye Qu is a bit blunt. Let me explain in more detail. Ye Qu’s true form is a kind of legendary Divine Beast known as ’Tyrannosaurus’."
"Tyrannosaurus?" Qin Yu searched all the information in his head, but could not think of any Divine Beast called Tyrannosaurus.
"Mr. Lan, I remember there isn’t a Divine Beast called Tyrannosaurus among the Dragon Clan, is it possible... Tyrannosaurus is a kind of Mutated Divine Beast?" Qin Yu asked doubtfully, as he could not think of any other answer.
Wu Lan shook his head with a smile.
Ye Qu glared and said, "Qin Yu kid, my Tyrannosaurus Clan is incredibly powerful. The population within our clan has never dipped below ten thousand. How could we possibly be Mutated Divine Beasts?"
"Ten thousand?"
Qin Yu was astonished. If there were such a large number, this kind of Divine Beast would definitely be quite famous, so how could he possibly have never heard of it? "Ye Qu, how come I’ve never heard of it?"
"That’s because your experience is too limited," Ye Qu said proudly.
"Ye Qu, stop teasing Qin Yu," Wu Lan said with a light smile. Hearing Wu Lan’s words, Ye Qu mumbled a few words under his breath and said no more.
Wu Lan turned to Qin Yu and explained, "Qin Yu, it’s impossible for you to know about the Tyrannosaurus Clan... because the Tyrannosaurus Clan isn’t a species from the Immortal, Demon, or Demon World space."
"Not from the Immortal, Demon, or Demon World?" Qin Yu was surprised.
"Correct," Wu Lan nodded, "Before I explain further, I must make you understand something. This boundless universe, in fact, contains many spaces. Some spaces are of higher level, some are of lower level, and others are of equal level, belonging to parallel spaces. Do you understand this point?"
Of course, Qin Yu understood.
His Master Lei Wei’s birthplace—a technological cosmic space, and the space where his own homeland, Hidden Dragon Continent, resided were equal level spaces, maintaining a parallel relationship.
The cultivators from these two spaces, upon reaching a certain level in their cultivation, would ascend to a higher level space.
Wu Lan started smiling, "Spaces are classified according to the internal energy and their stability. For example, the Mortal World doesn’t only have the space where your homeland is located, but also other cosmic spaces that belong to the Mortal World. Similarly, there are many spaces that are of the same level as the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World, and the space where Tyrannosaurus Clan is located is one of them."
Qin Yu fully understood now.
Ye Qu’s homeland was a space of equal level to the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World.
"Creatures from other cosmic spaces?" Qin Yu simply couldn’t imagine that a creature from another space of equal level would appear in the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World, especially one he had never heard of in the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World.
Ye Qu also appeared somewhat downcast upon hearing this.
Clearly, leaving his clan and homeland was painful for Ye Qu too.
"Qin Yu kid, although my homeland’s space is of equal level to yours, the overall strength of our space should be much stronger than yours," Ye Qu said confidently. "Your Divine Beasts here are divided into Lower Level Divine Beasts, Intermediate Divine Beasts, Upper Level Divine Beasts, and Super Divine Beasts. But in our space... there aren’t so many distinctions."
Wu Lan explained from the side, "Their space mainly has two large groups, one being the Dinosaur Clan and the other the human race. Among the dinosaurs, there are types like Tyrannosaurus, Flying Sky Dragons... and so on. As for humans, they are similar to those in the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World."
Qin Yu fully understood now.
That space seemed much simpler than his own.
"The Dinosaur Clan of our cultivation world takes pride in cultivating the body. When the dinosaur’s body is cultivated to the extreme, humph... we directly resist the Divine Tribulation with our bodies and ascend to the Divine World," Ye Qu seemed very proud of his clan’s method of cultivation.
Wu Lan nodded and said, "The Dinosaur Clan’s method of cultivating the body is indeed extraordinary."
"Only an idiot who knows close combat," a cold voice came from not far away.
Qin Yu couldn’t help but turn his head to look. The person who had just spoken was the tall, lean, and cold man who still didn’t even glance Qin Yu’s way.
"Close combat is the strongest method of attack. How can spell energy attacks decide life and death in a single move like hand-to-hand combat can?" Ye Qu glared at the cold man in rebuttal.
The cold man simply snorted and said no more, but he still did not look this way.
Wu Lan said with a smile, "Wu Xu, there is no need to deny the Dinosaur Clan’s method of attack. To tell the truth, the aptitude of the Tyrannosaurus is comparable to that of Upper Level Divine Beasts. However, the Dinosaur Clan’s method of cultivating the body is very suitable for them. Although Ye Qu is at the Seventh Level Demon Emperor Realm, in combat... he’s not much inferior to Emperor Yu."
Qin Yu’s eyes shone.
Ye Qu, a Seventh Level Demon Emperor, was nearly as powerful as Emperor Yu. The Tyrannosaurus’s dinosaur body must be incredibly formidable.
"Mr. Lan, what did you just call him?" Qin Yu suddenly woke up.
He clearly heard Wu Lan call the cold man ’Wu Xu’!
Could it be Ao Wuxu, the big brother of Ao Wuming?
"Qin Yu, let me introduce him. This is Ao Wuxu. His true form is the ’Blood Dragon,’ a Mutated Super Divine Beast unprecedented in the Dragon Clan. Not long ago, he even reached the Eighth Level Demon Emperor," Wu Lan said with admiration in his eyes.
A sense of shock overwhelmed Qin Yu’s heart.
An Eighth Level Demon Emperor Super Divine Beast?
Qin Yu remembered that Ao Wuming, a Seventh Level Demon Emperor, could easily defeat both Zhi Bai and Xue Yileng when combined in combat form, and Ao Wuming in combat form could be compared to Emperor Yu.
As for an Eighth Level Demon Emperor Super Divine Beast, that was truly terrifying, unquestionably surpassing Emperor Yu, and not just by twice!
"Mr. Lan, I have a question." Qin Yu noticed a problem. Ye Qu and Wu Lan were both Seventh Level Demon Emperors, and Ao Wuxu was even an Eighth Level Demon Emperor. How could they have possibly been captured by Immortal Emperor Ni Yang into the Ten Thousand Beasts List?
Wu Lan smiled lightly and said, "I know, you want to ask how we became the Spiritual Beasts of the Ten Thousand Beasts List, right?"
"Yes," Qin Yu looked towards Wu Lan.
Among these three, Qin Yu had the best impression of this Mr. Lan.
Wu Lan said with a smile, "Then let me take the time to introduce this... When Wu Xu was young, he left the Dragon Clan and didn’t even heed the orders of the Dragon Emperor. You know this, right?"
Qin Yu had heard about the grudge between Ao Wuxu and the Dragon Clan, which probably started when Ao Wuxu, as a child, was mistakenly identified as a ’Red Dragon,’ leading to some grievances.
Qin Yu nodded to show he knew.
"Wu Xu was born for battle," Wu Lan sighed, "When he was young, Wu Xu left the Dragon Clan and started making a name for himself in the Immortal-Demon-Monster World, challenging countless masters. His strength continued to grow stronger, but he never returned to the Dragon Clan."
"That year, Wu Xu reached the Seventh Level Demon Emperor Realm and encountered Ni Yang, who was at his peak at that time. Back then, Ni Yang was an Eighth Level Immortal Emperor Sword Immortal." Wu Lan’s face held a hint of a smile, "Wu Xu challenged Ni Yang, and the two set a bet."
At that moment, the cold and indifferent Ao Wuxu also walked over.
Ao Wuxu said, "I made a bet with Ni Yang, if I lost, I would become his Spiritual Beast, if I won, his Divine Artifact Combat Clothes would be mine. And the result... I lost."
A Seventh Level Super Divine Beast and an Eighth Level Sword Immortal Emperor are not much different in strength; either could emerge victorious.
"Wuxu is very stubborn," Wu Lan said with a smile. "Later, when the Dragon Emperor learned about this, he directly intervened, wanting Ni Yang to release his own son’s soul bond."
"Qin Yu, the Dragon Emperor is very strong, extremely powerful. Immortal Emperor Ni Yang submitted at that time..." Wu Lan smiled, "Do you know how Wuxu reacted then?"
Qin Yu could, of course, guess.
If Ao Wuxu had been willing to leave then, he wouldn’t be in the Ten Thousand Beasts List now.
"I have no ties to the Dragon Clan, why should I accept their favor? Moreover... I no longer have any expectations for the world of immortals, demons, and beasts; there are too few worthy of my challenge," Ao Wuxu said indifferently.
Qin Yu clearly sensed the great rift between Ao Wuxu and the Dragon Emperor.
"The most important thing is... I am willing to accept the outcome of the bet. Having lost, I naturally will not go back on my word," Ao Wuxu added.
Qin Yu made a judgment about Ao Wuxu.
This person is quite eccentric, very headstrong, definitely the type who would not be coerced but could be persuaded.
"Mr. Lan, what piques my curiosity... with your protection back then, why was Ni Yang still pushed to such a state by Emperor Yu and Emperor Xuan, to the point of even dying?" Qin Yu wondered.
The three of them, along with Immortal Emperor Ni Yang, what would they fear from Emperor Yu and Emperor Xuan?
Upon hearing this question, Wu Lan laughed.
Ye Qu also laughed, and even Ao Wuxu’s face showed a rare expression of ’crying and laughing’.
"Qin Yu, kid." Ao Wuxu stared at Qin Yu. "I don’t like to be threatened. I will help someone with a favor I owe, otherwise... Even if you kill me, I won’t assist you."
Qin Yu was startled.
Wu Lan explained, "Qin Yu, Ao Wuxu is very stubborn. He made an oath with Immortal Emperor Ni Yang that, unless it was a life-and-death situation, Ao Wuxu could come out to protect Immortal Emperor Ni Yang’s life. But usually... Ni Yang only had one chance to command Ao Wuxu, in exchange, when they reached the Divine World, Ni Yang must release Ao Wuxu’s soul bond and restore his freedom."
Qin Yu was taken aback by the oath between Ao Wuxu and Immortal Emperor Ni Yang.
Wu Lan smiled, "At that time, Ni Yang could only agree. By agreeing, he still had one chance to command Ao Wuxu to do his bidding, and in dangerous times, he could also ask for Ao Wuxu’s help. If he didn’t agree, he could only let Ao Wuxu die, and he wouldn’t benefit at all."
Qin Yu completely understood.
Ao Wuxu would rather die than submit.
"Big Brother Wu Lan, don’t mention Wuxu. At least he agreed to listen to Ni Yang’s command once. What about you? You didn’t even agree to a single command, only agreeing to protect his life during dangerous times," Ye Qu laughed from the side.
Ao Wuxu also looked at Wu Lan, the meaning in his gaze clear to everyone present.
