Stellar Transformation-Chapter 384: Episode 13 - 4 Cuiyun Star

Qin Yu relentless pursued his journey, sparing no expense for travel costs, and in just three days, he reached the core planet of the Beast Clan in the Demon World—Cuiyun Star.

Cuiyun Star, as the planet where successive Bull Demon Emperors had resided, held a very high status in the hearts of the people of the Demon World. At the same time, many emperor-level experts also resided here. A good number of the Bull Demon Emperor’s Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends lived on Cuiyun Star.

There were five major cities within Cuiyun Star, four of which were located in the four directions, and one more city that lay at the center of these four, known as ’Imperial City.’ Ordinary people simply had no access to it.

In the Imperial City, there were a great many experts residing, and most of the people living there held extremely prestigious positions. Even the guards were at the very least sixth-level Demon Kings, and it was not uncommon to spot ninth-level Demon Kings with just a glance.

Although it was strictly forbidden for outsiders to enter without permission, Qin Yu had now arrived at the eastern gate of the Imperial City. When the two guards at the gate saw Qin Yu approaching, one of them shouted, "This is the Imperial City. Without an Imperial City identity token, entry is not allowed."

An Imperial City identity token?

Qin Yu was slightly taken aback, as he knew nothing about this.

Qin Yu found such formalities bothersome and decided to release his Immortal Consciousness. However, as soon as his Immortal Consciousness began to penetrate the bounds of the Imperial City, he was immediately met with no less than ten sharp Demon Recognitions striking back at him.

"So many Demon Emperors!" Qin Yu was shocked in his mind.

"Is the visitor Qin Yu?" A voice telepathically echoed in Qin Yu’s mind.

Qin Yu’s heart gave a jolt.

How did the other party know his name?

But soon, Qin Yu understood that probably Meng Hong had already informed the experts within Cuiyun Star about him. Qin Yu instantly responded telepathically, "Indeed, I am. May I know if you learned my name from Brother Meng Hong?"

"Haha, indeed it’s Brother Qin Yu. Please wait, just a moment," the voice conveyed some excitement.

It seemed that the two guards had been ordered not to chase Qin Yu away, and after a short while... three burly figures rushed out from the Imperial City. These three men all looked incredibly strong.

"Man Qian?" Qin Yu looked at the leader in surprise.

The one in the lead was none other than Man Qian, who had descended to the Mortal World in the past. Although Man Qian’s strength was now far lesser than Qin Yu’s, being only a sixth-level Demon King, to have reached such a level in a short time was already extremely rapid progress.

"Haha, it really is Brother Qin Yu." Man Qian laughed heartily as he came over and gave Qin Yu a bear hug.

"Young Master Man Qian, I’ve said it before, someone who doesn’t even know about the Imperial City identity token and yet rushes to the Imperial City, how many emperor-level experts can there be? Apart from the one Meng Hong mentioned, Qin Yu, I really can’t think of anyone else," stated the red-haired burly man next to Man Qian.

The two burly men behind Man Qian were both emperor-level experts from the Niu Clan.

"Brother Qin Yu, I really didn’t expect that the Qin Yu from the legends, who gave Emperor Yu a hard time, would turn out to be the Qin Yu brother from back then... I really couldn’t bring myself to recognize you at first, but seeing you in person, I knew it was you," Man Qian said, chuckling happily.

A smile was also spread across Qin Yu’s face.

Seeing Man Qian was indeed a delightful event.

As for Man Qian... his heart was truly shocked. The first time he met Qin Yu in the Mortal World, Qin Yu was preparing to pass the Ninety-Nine Tribulations, and at that time, Man Qian had already been a first-level Demon King.

Yet now, Qin Yu had become an emperor-level expert, even daring to contend with a figure like Emperor Yu.

How could Man Qian not be astonished?

"Come, come, let’s rest at my place first, we can talk about whatever matters you have once we get there," Man Qian was delighted as he pulled Qin Yu toward the Imperial City, and naturally, the guards didn’t dare to stop them at this point.

Once Man Qian brought someone in, that person was qualified to enter the Imperial City.

Imperial City was still immense, and in its eastern part there was an extremely luxurious palace that occupied an extensive area and employed numerous servants and guards; this was Man Qian’s residence.

Nowadays, in the Beast Clan, there were only three Super Divine Beasts, including the Purple-eyed Bull Demon King. Each Super Divine Beast held an extremely revered status. This was the reason why Man Qian, though only a Sixth-level Demon King, had two Demon Emperors following him.

Inside an elegant living room.

Qin Yu and Man Qian sat opposite each other, with a table between them laid with some exquisite food and drinks, and they began an animated discussion while enjoying the fare.

"Qin Yu, you and your brother are both damn freaks. That Brother Hou Fei of yours, in about a hundred years, more or less, actually cultivated to the Demon King Realm," Man Qian cursed as he drank, "When I visited Hou Fei decades ago, he had actually reached the realm of a Fifth Level Demon King."

Qin Yu felt happy in his heart when he heard the news about Hou Fei.

"It’s freakish, the speed of cultivation is simply terrifying. I thought that in these three hundred years, reaching Sixth Level Demon King, my cultivation speed was very fast. But compared with you guys... sigh," Man Qian’s face showed resentment.

"The most terrifying is you, kid," Man Qian pointed at Qin Yu.

"Back then, in Ni Yang Realm, Hou Fei and that Hei Yu ascended first, and you hadn’t ascended yet... But now, in such a short time, you turned out to be a damn Emperor-level expert," Man Qian tilted his head, looking at Qin Yu, "An Emperor-level expert, eh, Qin Yu, how did you cultivate?"

"Me," Qin Yu with a face of innocence, "just trained like this."

"..." Man Qian was speechless.

"Qin Yu, do you have any idea how many experts in the entire Immortal, Demon, and Beast worlds are stuck at the Ninth Level Demon King and can’t reach the Emperor Level? Do you know how hard it is to achieve Emperor Level? Look at the guards of the Imperial City, there are heaps of Ninth Level Demon Kings, but how many of them are Demon Emperors serving as guards?"

Man Qian was filled with frustration.

Qin Yu knew what Man Qian was expressing... jealousy, frustration. So, Qin Yu could only let Man Qian vent his feelings beside him.

Indeed, there were not a few guards in the Imperial City who were Ninth Level Demon Kings. As for Demon Emperors, who would stand on the city walls? Presumably, most Demon Emperors were enjoying themselves in their own places.

"You’re not just any ordinary Emperor Level, according to intelligence, that First Level Immortal Emperor Sword Immortal, Yu Qingzi, under Emperor Yu’s command, died at your hands, didn’t he?" Man Qian knew quite a bit.

Qin Yu nodded.

"A First Level Immortal Emperor Sword Immortal, I don’t know when I’ll ever be able to match that," Man Qian said helplessly.

"Let’s not even talk about that, you’re not happy unless you scare people to death, eh? You actually killed twenty-six Immortal Emperors under Emperor Yu’s command in one go, including the Green Blood Sword Immortal!" Man Qian’s eyes widened as he looked at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu could only respond with a wry smile.

"Impressive, killing twenty-six on your own," Man Qian said with a fierce look.

Qin Yu chuckled awkwardly again.

"The Green Blood Sword Immortal, a Seventh Level Immortal Emperor Sword Immortal, was the strongest Sword Immortal since Immortal Emperor Ni Yang died, and he fell into your hands as well," Man Qian was full of emotion, "I’ve always wondered, the Qin Yu from the Mortal World back then, and the current Qin Yu, are they really the same person?"

"It’s definitely a person, absolutely a person," Qin Yu finally spoke.

"Qin Yu, tell me. I remember it was Lan Feng who originally obtained the Ten Thousand Beasts List, so how did it end up in your hands? Don’t you dare say you don’t have the Ten Thousand Beasts List. I don’t believe that, without it, you managed to take down twenty-six Immortal Emperors and even scare off Emperor Yu," Man Qian stated confidently.

Indeed, Qin Yu did have the Ten Thousand Beasts List.

As for Lan Feng?

"You mean Uncle Lan Feng? He gave me the Ten Thousand Beasts List," Qin Yu had no choice but to say this. The existence of the Sword Immortal Puppet was something he found very difficult to explain. Presumably, nobody in the world of immortals, demons, and beasts had ever seen a Sword Immortal Puppet before.

Man Qian sighed, "The Ten Thousand Beasts List, your uncle really was willing to part with it."

As a Super Divine Beast with an extremely prestigious status, Man Qian certainly knew about the formidable figures listed in the Ten Thousand Beasts List.

"Brother Man Qian, please let Shi Xin and the others come in. They must be getting anxious," Qin Yu suddenly said.

Man Qian was taken aback.

Qin Yu smiled. Shi Xin’s soul was under Qin Yu’s control, and as soon as Qin Yu stepped into the Imperial City, he knew Shi Xin’s exact location. From the start of the conversation until now, the Shi brothers had been waiting outside.

"Ah, I was so excited, I forgot," Man Qian laughed heartily and called out loudly, "Shi Xin, you three brothers, come on in."

Shi Xin, Shi Bi, and Si Zhan, the three brothers, walked in.

"Master," Shi Xin said respectfully.

"Lord Qin Yu," Shi Bi and Si Zhan also said respectfully. However, since Shi Bi and Si Zhan were Feifei and Little Black’s Spiritual Beasts, they didn’t need to call Qin Yu master.

Qin Yu looked at Man Qian with a smile, "Brother Man Qian, how did the Shi brothers come to be with you?"

"Initially Shi Bi and Si Zhan flew into the territory of our Beast Clan. They were following Hou Fei at first, but later Hou Fei left them in my care. When Shi Xin ascended to the Demon World, Shi Bi and Si Zhan, true to their fraternal bond, actually sensed Shi Xin’s location and brought him over," Man Qian explained in detail.

Qin Yu nodded.

It seems the three Xuanbing Lion Beasts, Shi Xin and his brothers, did not suffer too much hardship. But now, not even reaching the Demon King status, Qin Yu had no need for them.

Man Qian said with a smile, "Qin Yu, Hou Fei actually released the soul-binding. Shi Bi has regained his freedom."

"Oh."

Qin Yu looked at Shi Xin and the others. He could sense Shi Xin’s intentions; of course, these Divine Beasts yearned for freedom. Even Blood Dragon Ao Wuxu had made an agreement with Qin Yu to be freed once they reached the Divine World.

"Alright, Shi Xin, from today forward, you are also free," Qin Yu decided with a thought, releasing the binding of the Spiritual Beast Ring on Shi Xin.

Shi Xin was overjoyed.

"Brother Man Qian, I came here to find Feifei. Do you know where he is now?" Qin Yu asked Man Qian directly. Qin Yu could tell that Man Qian knew quite a bit about Hou Fei.

Man Qian’s brow furrowed, and he pondered for a long time.

"What’s wrong?" Qin Yu had a bad feeling.

Man Qian looked at Qin Yu with an apologetic expression, "Qin Yu, you want to find Hou Fei. As far as I know, Hou Fei has gone to a secret place, a place I don’t even know about."

A secret place? Qin Yu’s brow furrowed.

"Right, His Majesty must know," Man Qian said confidently, "His Majesty has gone out on a mission this time. But it’s fine, I will use the Communication Spirit Pearl to ask him. Please wait a moment."

Qin Yu nodded.

Man Qian stood up and walked outside, turning back to Qin Yu, "I’m not sure where His Majesty is out there. Whether the place is far or near is hard to say, so I’ll go to the Communication Secret Array to contact him."

"Brother Man Qian, just find out where Feifei is," Qin Yu watched as Man Qian left the living room.

In the world of immortals, demons, and beasts, the cosmic space harbors endless dangers.

A stretch of purple sand hundreds of miles long and over ten thousand miles across drifted in a certain area of space, electrified by Lightning Snakes flickering among it. At that moment, a huge meteorite flew by in the distance.

As the meteorite got close to this stretch of purple sand, suddenly numerous massive lightning bolts emerged from the purple sand and struck the meteorite, pulverizing it into dust.

This purple sand, then, was a dreadful form of energy in cosmic space, yet it was still less formidable than the ’Cosmic Shattered Gold Flow’ or the ’Silent Skyfire Flow’.

In the midst of this drifting expanse of purple sand, a figure was seated cross-legged upon it. There weren’t many in the world of immortals, demons, and beasts who could calmly sit like this on the purple sand.

As the sand rose, the figure floated up; as it sank, the figure descended.

Cloaked in rays of purple light, the true appearance of this person was hard to discern.

"Haha... Hahaha..." A burst of laughter suddenly emanated from the figure, shaking the endless purple sand around it, which then started rotating in a vortex around him, lifting the figure to the very top of the purple sand.

The purple light suddenly dissipated, revealing clothes enveloping the person’s body.

With eyes opening and closing, his gaze shot out like sharp blades.

His presence was fierce.

Upon seeing who this person was, it was none other than Emperor Yu, who had vanished without a trace. Compared to the steady Emperor Yu of the past, the current Emperor Yu was exuding an overwhelming fierceness, appearing like a battle-hardened war saber!

"Qin Yu, I have been stuck at the level of an Eighth Level Immortal Emperor for so many years without a breakthrough. Thanks to you, I’ve finally gained some insight and broken through that layer. Ninth Level Immortal Emperor, I have finally reached it," Emperor Yu said.

His whole demeanor seemed to have changed slightly, with less elegance and more ruthlessness in his brows.

From the former Emperor Yu who could still smile when the sky fell, he had transformed into a merciless god of war who wouldn’t hesitate to strike down his enemies.

"Scheming? The art of rulership? All jokes in the face of absolute power!" Emperor Yu scoffed, "Absolute power is fundamentally what matters. Anything in accordance with my will is right, and anything against it is wrong."

"I aspire to Cross the God Tribulation and ascend to the Divine World. But before facing the God Tribulation and ascending to the Divine World, I should conquer my Heart Demon; otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to cross the Divine Tribulation," Emperor Yu’s figure moved, turning into a streak of light and disappearing into the vast cosmic space.
