Stellar Transformation-Chapter 429: Episode 14 The New Monarch - 2 The Death of Emperor Yu
Today’s second Chapter.
——————————
"I’ll take on that Eighth Level Demon Emperor!" Emperor Yu said with a light smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Demon Emperor, Emperor Yu, Emperor Xuan, Ao Ku, and Liu Tu, the group of five, simultaneously turned into five streaks of flowing light, shooting down toward Qingliu Garden at high speed, with Emperor Yu specifically targeting Wu Lan.
Wu Lan’s figure was straight as a spear, quietly watching Emperor Yu approaching from afar.
"It’s been a long time since I’ve taken action," Wu Lan said, a faint smile on his lips.
With his right fist held at his waist, Wu Lan’s whole body began to slowly release a gentle black light. At first glance, it seemed like Wu Lan was covered with a layer of black liquid-like substance.
"An Eighth Level Demon Emperor dares to clash with me head-on, seeking death." Seeing Wu Lan’s stance, a surge of anger rose in Emperor Yu’s heart. The Emperor Jing Sword in his hand thrashed with Sword Light, tearing through the sky, and in almost an instant, it was in front of Wu Lan.
Wu Lan still stood there, his right fist still at his waist, when suddenly—
Time seemed to stand still, space seemed to freeze, and that right fist, very clearly, seemed to strike out at an extremely slow speed, penetrating space and colliding with the Emperor Jing Sword.
Wu Lan’s fist was very ordinary, except for the flowing black substance that covered it, making it no longer ordinary.
The Emperor Jing Sword collided head-on with Wu Lan’s fist.
"Crack~~~" The Emperor Jing Sword, like a fragile iron sheet, actually shattered into seven or eight pieces on the spot, the fragments slowly flying in all directions, while Wu Lan’s fist continued to advance.
"Boom!"
The fist pierced through Emperor Yu’s abdomen.
...
Silence, the heartbeat of everyone was as loud as thunder, and everyone on the scene stared blankly at Wu Lan, including Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan, who was preparing to capture Bai Ling.
Emperor Yu, a mighty Ninth Level Immortal Emperor, was unable to withstand even a single move from an Eighth Level Demon Emperor. Even the Middle Grade Divine Artifact ’Emperor Jing Sword’ was smashed to smithereens by a single punch from this Demon Emperor. What kind of fist was this?
"Is it the Dragon Emperor, or someone like the Dragon Emperor?" Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan stared dumbfounded.
Emperor Yu himself looked incredulously at the huge hole in his abdomen, and at this moment, Wu Lan was holding a Nascent Soul in his hand, which was already pierced through by the black light in Wu Lan’s grasp.
"You, you..." Emperor Yu couldn’t get the words out.
At this time, in Emperor Yu’s mind, a series of scenes rapidly flashed: the days when he first began to cultivate arduously, the days when he was recognized as a genius and full of pride, the days when he roamed the Immortal Realm with ease, the days when he was in love with Xuan Xi, the days when he was an arrogant Emperor-level expert, and the days when he became the ’Emperor Yu’ of the Immortal Realm, in the same esteemed light as the Green Emperor and others.
However, all of these had vanished into thin air.
No matter what grand ambitions, no matter what aspirations for the Divine World, everything shattered with this punch. In the last moments before death, Emperor Yu’s gaze turned towards the distant Emperor Xuan, his wife Xuan Xi!
"No!!!!!" The extremely sorrowful cry came from Xuan Xi’s mouth, accompanied by rolling red teardrops. Emperor Yu felt his soul was slowly dissipating, enveloped in a mass of black light.
As his consciousness blurred, Emperor Yu seemed to see a figure.
The one who had pushed him from the pinnacle of his status, the one who had given him more than one nightmare, the one whose cultivation speed was nothing short of a miracle.
"Qin... Yu..." Emperor Yu’s last shred of consciousness clung to these two words before it completely dissipated.
"Boom!"
Emperor Yu’s body fell heavily to the ground, creating a noise that seemed to strike at the heart of everyone present. It took a moment for everyone to register what had happened, and by that time... Guo Fan, Bai Ling, Hei Tong, and the others had already been taken into the Jiang Lan Realm.
Qin Yu stood beside Wu Lan.
"Wu Lan is truly powerful," Qin Yu looked at Wu Lan next to him, his heart shaking with the realization. Wu Lan, from the Divine World, had a Soul Realm of only an Eighth Level Demon Emperor, yet who could have imagined that he could shatter a Middle Grade Divine Artifact with just one punch? How strong must that fist be?
Qin Yu believed that Wu Lan’s fist could definitely smash his own body.
Even though a year ago in the Jiang Lan Realm, he had stepped into the Eighth Level of "Nine-Transformation Dark Gold Body." Now, his body’s hardness could compare to that of a Middle Grade Divine Artifact, but the Emperor Jing Sword that Wu Lan had easily shattered was also a Middle Grade Divine Artifact.
"So strong!" Qin Yu found it difficult to breathe.
Among the people he knew, it seemed that only the Green Emperor and the Dragon Emperor possessed such terrifying strength. Right, there was also the ever-mysterious Grandma Yin Hua. Whether the Great Ape Emperor and the Peng Demon Emperor could contend with Wu Lan was still uncertain.
"Qin Yu, I told you before that you have one opportunity to ask for my help. This time will just..."
"Stop!" Qin Yu immediately said, interrupting Wu Lan.
Qin Yu inwardly chuckled. Even without hearing more, he knew Wu Lan’s intention was clearly to count this action as fulfilling Qin Yu’s request, effectively leaving him without the opportunity to ask for help.
Damn it, how could he so easily let go of a freak capable of smashing a Middle Grade Divine Artifact with a single punch?
"Wu Lan, remember, my request... was killing Emperor Yu my request? I never asked for that. You killed because you wanted to, so... that certainly can’t count as my request to you. I still retain that request," Qin Yu said with a smile, seemingly ignoring the Peng Demon Emperor and the others in the distance.
Wu Lan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: "So, did Emperor Yu die in vain?"
"Die in vain?" Qin Yu was slightly taken aback, then he understood and nodded as if it were only natural, "Yes, he died in vain."
"Qin Yu!"
Emperor Xuanxi, in her red attire and with tears in her eyes, glared hatefully at Qin Yu. "Your man killed my husband, and you’re still pretending here. Good, I..."
The Peng Demon Emperor waved his hand and stepped in front of Emperor Xuanxi to stop her.
The Peng Demon Emperor looked at Qin Yu and then turned to Wu Lan, "Who are you?" The Peng Demon Emperor felt threatened; Wu Lan indeed posed a threat to him. The Peng Demon Emperor noticed... that Wu Lan’s attacks were very fast.
Yes, very fast.
But it was strange; during Wu Lan’s attacks, the trajectory was clearly visible, yet the flow of time seemed very slow, almost stationary. To some extent, Wu Lan... attacked very quickly.
So quick it was frightening. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"Can my speed evade this man’s fist?" The Peng Demon Emperor suddenly realized he wasn’t confident anymore.
"Who exactly are you?" The Peng Demon Emperor asked, seeing that Wu Lan did not respond.
Finally, Wu Lan glanced at the Peng Demon Emperor and said, "Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan, your speed is indeed fast... but unfortunately, your attack power is not strong enough to hurt me. It’s impossible for you to kill Qin Yu at my side."
Qin Yu’s heart tightened.
Heavens, the Peng Demon Emperor, whose attack power was close to that of an Upper Grade Divine Artifact, was deemed by Wu Lan as ’not strong in attack’ and was unable to injure him. This was truly terrifying.
At that moment, Qin Yu suddenly remembered something.
Initially, Feifei had mentioned that when the Great Ape Emperor commented on the Three Demon Emperors, he said that the Dragon Emperor had terrifying offense and defense, but his speed was not very good. While the Peng Demon Emperor had fast speed and average defense, his attack power was not strong enough.
Indeed... experts of the same realm make similar judgements.
"Not only is your attack power insufficient, but your defense can only be considered average. If you keep your distance, I might not be able to kill you, but if you get close... the Inheritance Treasure of your Roc Clan might just change hands today," Wu Lan continued to speak.
Sweat beads formed on the forehead of the Peng Demon Emperor.
Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan was reminded of something, Wu Lan’s words to him were not much different from what the Dragon Emperor had said in the past.
"Your Majesty?" Ao Ku and Liu Tu looked towards the Peng Demon Emperor, waiting for his decision.
The pride the Peng Demon Emperor had harbored for years began to rise; he couldn’t believe this person before him disregarded him so. Clenching his fists, his body began to shine with golden light, and at the same time...
Specks of blood-red dots surfaced on the Peng Demon Emperor’s body, and the originally golden crown atop his head turned blood red in an instant.
"Speaking of intricate movement technique, there aren’t many who dare to compete with me. Even if we fight up close, I refuse to believe you can touch me," the Peng Demon Emperor’s eyes shimmered with a faint blood-red light.
Wu Lan’s expression changed, and he muttered, "The ancestors of the Roc Clan really went all out, this is going to take a lot of effort."
Seeing Wu Lan’s solemn expression, the Peng Demon Emperor felt a sense of relief, understanding that the person in front of him was unsure of how to handle him. The Peng Demon Emperor immediately ordered, "Xuan Xi, Ao Ku, Liu Tu, the three of you attack Qin Yu together. I will deal with this guy."
"Yes," Ao Ku and Liu Tu complied, and Xuan Xi, already consumed by hatred, had made the first move.
*******
Qin Yu was not at all nervous facing the assault of the three.
"This Nine-Transformation Dark Gold Body has reached the Eighth Level, today will be the day to test its results," Qin Yu said with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, his body as tough as a Middle Grade Divine Artifact, augmented by the regenerative ability of his Life Essence Power.
Qin Yu was confident enough to face three opponents alone.
"Qin Yu, die!" The ’Flowing Scene Sword,’ imbued with Emperor Xuanxi’s boundless hatred, was the first to reach Qin Yu, who merely shifted slightly and grasped it with one hand.
He caught a Divine Artifact with one hand!
Faint silver light pulsated around Qin Yu’s body. With his left hand grasping the Divine Artifact, his right hand shot towards Emperor Xuanxi like lightning. Emperor Xuanxi took Qin Yu’s punch, creating countless illusions with his left hand that struck towards Qin Yu’s head.
"Boom!" Qin Yu’s fist landed on Xuan Xi’s body, while Xuan Xi’s finger technique, despite Qin Yu’s dodging, still struck Qin Yu’s forehead. Xuan Xi merely shook but was unharmed, and Qin Yu was similarly unscathed.
Qin Yu took a step back.
"Die." Ao Ku and Liu Tu attacked Qin Yu from both sides. Ao Ku’s Wolf Fang Club and Liu Tu’s curved blade both targeted Qin Yu, who responded with his bare hands.
"Emperor Yu really was good to you," Qin Yu parried the attacks from Ao Ku and Liu Tu several dozen times, yet he spoke to Emperor Xuanxi, "He actually decided to give you the Divine Artifact Combat Clothes."
Emperor Yu owned Divine Artifact Combat Clothes.
Yet when Emperor Yu was killed by Wu Lan just a moment ago, the Divine Artifact Battle Clothes didn’t appear at all. Even if they had... the outcome probably wouldn’t have changed. After all, even the Middle Grade Divine Artifact, the Emperor Jing Sword, was easily smashed into pieces. One can imagine Wu Lan’s attack power.
"That’s why I must kill you," Emperor Xuanxi’s eyes emitted a ruthless light as his figure transformed into a long rainbow, charging at Qin Yu once again.
"I cannot waste any more time, being hunted down time after time... it’s time for them to learn that hunting me down sometimes comes with a great cost," Qin Yu thought, as a murderous intent emerged in his heart.
Ao Ku, Liu Tu, and Emperor Xuan attacked Qin Yu almost simultaneously. Ao Ku was on the left, Liu Tu on the right, and Emperor Xuan from behind. Both Ao Ku and Liu Tu were now fully engaged in combat.
Ao Ku’s Wolf Fang Club slammed towards Qin Yu’s left arm, while Liu Tu’s scimitar hacked at Qin Yu’s right arm.
No defense, only attack!
With his Nine-Transformation Dark Gold Body reaching the eighth level, Qin Yu’s speed became even more terrifying. Ao Ku and Liu Tu only saw a fist’s afterimage smashing towards their chests in an instant.
Chests caved in, bones shattered.
"Explode!" Qin Yu’s hands, which had penetrated the chests of both adversaries, shot out dozens of Finger Beams. The sharp Finger Beams easily pierced through Ao Ku and Liu Tu’s Nascent Souls.
At this moment, Emperor Xuan’s sword slashed a blood mark on Qin Yu’s back, and Qin Yu’s figure couldn’t help but lurch forward.
"Eh?" Qin Yu looked at Ao Ku with surprise.
Liu Tu was killed in one strike, but Ao Ku... had split into two bodies at the last moment. Qin Yu had only killed one of them, and the other was still very much alive.
"Your Majesty, Qin Yu is too strong," Ao Ku transmitted his voice. After speaking, he didn’t wait to hear what the Peng Demon Emperor had to say but transformed into a streak of light and began to flee.
Ao Ku could split into two, and in fact, both were his true selves. This was a Divine Skill possessed by a mutated Upper Level Divine Beast. However, now that one of his true selves had been killed by Qin Yu... cultivating another true self was extremely difficult.
"Qin Yu is too strong?" Hearing this transmission, the Peng Demon Emperor glanced in that direction.
Just a glance and he saw Liu Tu’s corpse lying on the ground; Ao Ku was already fleeing, and Emperor Xuanxi, who had slashed Qin Yu with a sword but failed to injure him, was also using his Divine Sword to escape.
"They all ran away, and this Eighth Level Demon Emperor before me is freakishly strong," the Peng Demon Emperor realized something after engaging with Wu Lan.
Wu Lan’s defense was extremely formidable,
His attack was so strong that it could seriously injure him. The Peng Demon Emperor understood that if it wasn’t for the Inheritance Treasure’s final feature greatly enhancing his defense, he wouldn’t have been able to block Wu Lan’s punch at all.
The Peng Demon Emperor turned into a shadow and rose to the high sky, gazing at Wu Lan from a distance.
"You are indeed strong, your punches are fast, but your movement technique isn’t as good as mine... your defense is also very strong. I feel like you and the Dragon Emperor are quite similar. I just don’t know whether your defense and attack are stronger or weaker compared to the Dragon Emperor’s. It’s just that the Dragon Emperor’s punch speed is far inferior to yours," the Peng Demon Emperor said indifferently.
Wu Lan ended the attack and stood with his hands behind his back, smiling, "The Dragon Emperor has the Inheritance Treasure, and on top of that, as a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, he’s naturally formidable. His defense and attack are stronger than mine. It’s just his attack speed... indeed, he’s far from my equal."
"Qin Yu, congratulations on gaining a powerful ally,"
Once the Peng Demon Emperor had finished speaking, his entire being transformed into an afterimage and disappeared, understanding in his heart... from today onwards, the chance of him killing Hei Yu was almost nonexistent.
