Stellar Transformation-Chapter 390: Episode 13 - 10 Reunion

There was no avoiding it; Qin Yu stood his ground calmly.

His ten fingers danced like those of a pianist casting spells, and in an instant, countless golden Finger Beams filled the sky, a density not at all inferior to the multitude of Stick Shadows.

Meteor Finger Technique’s Ten Thousand Layers Finger!

Both Stick Shadows and Finger Beams dissipated.

The attacks of both Green Guard and Qin Yu were of the area-of-effect type; although each strike wasn’t particularly powerful, they covered a wide range.

Excitement flickered in Green Guard’s eyes, "Finger Technique breaking Stick Technique, this is my first encounter. Let’s see how you handle my next move..." However, Green Guard’s speech abruptly stopped because once again, the sky was filled with those golden Finger Beams.

"Idiot."

A cold sneer formed in Qin Yu’s heart as the battle paused momentarily for superfluous words.

In fact, Green Guard was far stronger than Qin Yu. Despite having suppressed his strength to be on par with Qin Yu, Green Guard regarded the fight as a game, which led him to chatter idly during combat.

"Still using that trick," Green Guard scoffed inwardly. With a shake of his green long stick, one stick shift transformed into rings of Stick Shadows, like an inverted cone covering the golden Finger Beams, reducing any that it enveloped to nothingness.

"Not right," Green Guard’s face changed as he shockingly discovered that most of the golden Finger Beams were illusory.

A sly smile crept onto Qin Yu’s face.

This was precisely the Meteor Finger Technique’s Thousand Illusion Finger; amidst the multitude of beams, only one held astonishing power, the rest were merely to bewilder the opponent. If the Ten Thousand Layers Finger was an area attack, with each beam not very powerful, then the Thousand Illusion Finger was for single targets. The truly attacking beam was immensely powerful.

And Green Guard, using the method meant for countering area attacks, had his Stick Shadow covering a wider range, but the power contained within was diminished.

"Pfft!" The truly powerful beam from the Thousand Illusion Finger brushed past the Stick Shadow and directly hit Green Guard’s body.

Green Guard staggered, not continuing his attack but instead examining Qin Yu intently, his expression becoming more focused, "Foreigner, you truly deserve my seriousness, but I must remind you... only if you knock down my long stick, or escape to the outdoor terrace, can you be considered to have saved your life. An attack to my body is utterly useless."

Qin Yu frowned.

"Whoever came up with these rules is an asshole. What kind of test is this, invulnerable defense, forcing me to knock down his weapon to win." Qin Yu felt extremely frustrated, but he didn’t have a choice.

He was in the Inheritance Forbidden Land and had to abide by the rules.

"Foreigner, witness the final three strokes of the Heaven Shattering Thirty-Six Strokes," Green Guard taunted.

"Ha!"

The green long stick of Green Guard suddenly transformed into a beam of green rainbow light. Qin Yu felt as if the green Stick Shadow bent the light, bizarrely changing directions two or three times, quickly reaching in front of him, forcing Qin Yu to retreat swiftly.

Three consecutive strokes hit Qin Yu hard.

Qin Yu was slammed against the wall, then flipped over and fell.

"Such a tricky attack, right, it utilizes a change in space to create the attack, the same principle as the Ten Absolute Fingers." Qin Yu’s eyes were glued to his opponent, and at this moment, his body was already marked with stick wounds, and he sustained serious internal injuries from the vibrations, with blood seeping through his skin, but his Life Essence Power repaired it in the blink of an eye.

"Quite strong body defense, huh?" Green Guard sneered.

Once again, the eerie green Stick Shadow traversed through space in a bizarre trajectory, but this time the well-prepared Qin Yu retreated quickly while flicking his ten fingers at high speed. Ten Finger Beams shot out almost simultaneously in parallel trajectories, yet bizarrely combined into one single beam.

Meteor Finger Technique’s Ten Absolute Fingers.

"Bang!"

The merged golden Finger Beam and the swiftly moving Stick Shadow collided head-on.

The attack of the Green Guard failed again!

Qin Yu heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, everything was indeed as he expected, the attack of the spear technique just now was based on the same principle as his "Ten Absolute Fingers".

The expression on the Green Guard’s face turned grim, "Foreigner, I didn’t expect your combat comprehension to be so high. The ’Heaven Shattering Thirty-Six Strokes’ has one last move, and I want to see if you can take it."

The Green Guard held the long stick horizontally.

Qin Yu’s attention was highly focused as he stared at the Green Guard in front of him: "This Inheritance Forbidden Land has set the rule that his strength must be on par with mine. I don’t believe... that this Inheritance Forbidden Land can calculate the power of my ’Breaking Space Finger’."

"Watch carefully, foreigner," said the Green Guard indifferently.

The long stick moved.

Qin Yu only felt the space warp, and in the blink of an eye, there were thirty-six stick shadows appearing one after the other. Qin Yu felt... that each stick shadow was real.

"Illusion, illusion."

Qin Yu was certain in his mind that there was actually only one long stick, it absolutely could not be thirty-six. Relying on his eyes and Immortal Consciousness, he could not discern which one was real; Qin Yu only had one chance.

"Boom!"

A stick shadow smashed heavily onto Qin Yu’s body. "Now is the moment!" A gleam flashed in Qin Yu’s eyes, and the index finger he had prepared shot out like Lightning, stabbing onto the long stick.

Finger, long stick!

As they collided, time seemed to stop at that moment, and then all thirty-six stick shadows vanished.

"Boom!" The Green Guard felt a giant shock in his hands.

Qin Yu’s finger also went numb.

The Green Guard looked at Qin Yu in disbelief: "Your power absolutely exceeds that of a Third Level Immortal Emperor, you must have concealed your strength. Otherwise, with your Soul Realm, with your power, it would be impossible to deliver an attack of such force, absolutely impossible."

How could the Green Guard have imagined that Qin Yu could use the Black Hole to accelerate and launch such a peculiar attack?

"Don’t run away!" The Green Guard shot out at extreme speed.

By this time, Qin Yu had already started fleeing at high speed: "Only a fool wouldn’t run. If even Breaking Space Finger couldn’t shake the long stick from your hand, how could I have any way to knock it out of your grasp?"

Regrettably... at this moment, the angered Green Guard, actually violated the order to only use the power of a Third Level Immortal Emperor, increasing his speed to a terrifying extent and blocking Qin Yu’s path in an instant.

In this chase and escape, Qin Yu and the Green Guard had already run from the number two battlefield to the main hall, the same hall Qin Yu had entered when he first arrived.

"Foreigner, prepare to die," the Green Guard attacked once again.

*******

"Alas, another failure; I just can’t withstand that final Thirty-Six Layered Waves." Hou Fei flew out from the first battlefield at high speed.

Ever since he successfully challenged the spear technique of the first level, Hou Fei had been attempting the ’Heaven Shattering Thirty-Six Strokes’, but each time he failed. Over the years, Hou Fei had learned the first thirty-five moves, but that last move was always just out of reach.

Only by fully understanding and mastering it, could one possibly defeat the opponent.

As Hou Fei was fleeing for his life, the Red Guard, with whom Hou Fei had been battling, did not pursue too fervently because the Red Guard also knew that the Inheritance Forbidden Land was meant to train the young ones of the Ape Clan. Moreover, the Red Guard could only use half of Hou Fei’s strength, so it couldn’t catch up to Hou Fei in terms of speed.

"These Thirty-Six Layered Waves are an advanced version of the thirty-fifth stroke, utilizing an understanding of space to transform and the accumulation and conversion of internal energy, achieving explosive attack power in an instant. Thirty-six consecutive strokes build upon each other’s power, forming the strongest Attack Power." Hou Fei thought while fleeing for his life.

Over the years, Hou Fei had completely understood the Thirty-Six Layered Waves, it was just the execution that was slightly lacking.

"There’s a fight up ahead!"

Hou Fei, flying at breakneck speed, already felt that there was a violent battle happening inside the great hall ahead, "Huh, strange, other than me, there are others in the Forbidden Land? Hasn’t the Great Ape Emperor nearly used up all three chances?"

Curiosity arose in Hou Fei, who exactly was battling.

In the blink of an eye, Hou Fei reached the grand hall.

At this moment... he saw an angry Green Guard wielding a green stick shadow, fiercely smashing it down on a black-haired young man. Catching sight of this young man, Hou Fei’s eyes rounded in surprise.

"Big, big brother!" Hou Fei was shocked.

When he came to his senses, Hou Fei looked at the situation on the field and became furious, "What’s with this Green Guard, relying on invincible defense, not defending at all, instead pursuing and attacking my big brother."

The current situation was indeed as such.

The Green Guard was convinced that Qin Yu had hidden his strength, making the guard believe he was deceived, which infuriated him to fully exploit the loopholes in the rules.

He stopped defending completely and went on the attack.

Even if Qin Yu was powerful, he couldn’t withstand such an onslaught.

"Ha!"

The Green Guard’s energy began to circulate in a special way, executing the strongest move of the Heaven Shattering Thirty-Six Strokes once again.

Heaven Shattering Thirty-Six Strokes.

Utilizing a special method, the technique allowed energy to rapidly accumulate and compress to the extreme, striking the first stroke like lightning, then using the power of the first stroke to channel energy for the second strike. Then, borrowing the power of the second, they would add energy and execute the third stroke...

Each stroke built on the power of the previous one, piling up in succession.

By the time it came to the thirty-sixth stroke, the power would be excessively tremendous.

Under normal circumstances, even if someone could block the first stroke, they wouldn’t be able to withstand the subsequent continuous attacks.

But at the beginning, Qin Yu directly broke through this move with the Breaking Space Finger, because... the Breaking Space Finger was so powerful that it shook the stick out of the Green Guard’s control. Although the Green Guard initially managed to hold onto the stick, he could no longer continue.

This time, the Green Guard executed the Heaven Shattering Thirty-Six Strokes again.

The Green Guard made no defense, the long stick fiercely slashing down.

The stick shadow flitted about!

Thirty-six blurred stick shadows appeared before Qin Yu’s eyes in an instant, and he felt like cursing in anger, but he had no other choice but to use the same method. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

He endured a strike head-on, then immediately executed the Breaking Space Finger.

"Bang!"

His index finger collided with the head of the stick.

The Green Guard’s face revealed a cold smirk; after being struck by Qin Yu’s blow, the long stick rebounded back at great speed, the Green Guard spun his entire body around, the stick rotating at a terrifying speed before smashing toward Qin Yu.

Borrowing force!

"Too fast!" Qin Yu’s expression changed. The speed of the stick after borrowing force exceeded Qin Yu’s reaction limit; he couldn’t use the same method he did before.

Using his body to sense the real stick shadow and then break it, it required time. The faster the stick shadow, the harder it would be to break it.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Four strikes in succession hit Qin Yu, each strike faster than the last. The Thirty-Six Layered Waves became harder to break as it continued; if the first strike wasn’t broken, the later ones became nearly impossible to break.

Anger flooded Qin Yu’s heart.

This damned place, forbidding the use of Divine Artifact Battle Clothes, and the opponent was invincible in defense. Winning only by knocking down the opponent’s stick, what kind of rule was that?

Murder!

This was murder!

Qin Yu’s guess was quite accurate; the Inheritance Forbidden Land was designed as a deadly trap for outsiders, leaving only the barest glimmer of hope.

"Damn it, I’m done playing." Qin Yu’s eyes reddened, and he immediately tried to use the Jiang Lan Realm.

But at that moment—

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

The same stick shadows, only these were black, clashed continuously with the Green Guard’s stick shadow from another direction. The trajectory of the stick shadow was nearly identical, as was the method of attack.

"Big brother, run! The guards of the Forbidden Land are ruthless and merciless!" A familiar voice resounded in his mind. Qin Yu turned to look—

"Feifei." A look of joy burst across Qin Yu’s face, but his expression immediately changed dramatically.

He saw Hou Fei having blocked a barrage of over twenty strikes; eventually, he could no longer resist, and the black stick was knocked flying, striking the wall of the hall. Then another stick shadow smashed into Hou Fei.

Blood coloured Qin Yu’s vision red.

"Feifei!!!" Qin Yu’s eyes instantly reddened.

He moved in a flash, immediately holding Hou Fei, then tried to rush outside at top speed. But the Thirty-Six Layered Waves, along with the final seven strokes, remained!

With the first of the seven strokes, Qin Yu was knocked aside, unable to escape through the corridor.

"Big brother!" Hou Fei, who was severely injured, also turned red-eyed upon seeing this. But in an instant, he realized that he was no longer in the great hall. He had arrived inside the Jiang Lan Realm.

Qin Yu brought Hou Fei into the Jiang Lan Realm, feeling much relieved.

Just as Qin Yu was about to enter the Jiang Lan Realm—

"Stop." A cold voice sounded.

The Green Guard’s body came to a halt as if hit by an immobilization technique.

"Green Guard, when you pursued the outsider just now, you utilized energy at the Sixth-level Immortal Emperor, exceeding the prescribed limit, violating the rules - those who break the rules die," the cold voice resounded.

"My lord, please spare me, spare my life, my lord," the Green Guard immediately knelt down and pleaded in fear.

"Hmph."

With a cold snort, the Green Guard became motionless, while Qin Yu noticed that the light in the Green Guard’s eyes had dimmed, then he fell to the ground and didn’t move again.

Shock filled Qin Yu’s heart.

This ’lord’ within the Forbidden Land was indeed unbearably cold.

"Outsider, you may leave safely now," the cold voice said, unexpectedly with a hint of warmth.

(Why didn’t the lord within the Forbidden Land punish the Green Guard at the start when he broke the rules? Heh heh...)
