Stellar Transformation-Chapter 437: Episode 14 - 10 Elder (2008, New Year, let’s give some monthly votes~~)
"Seven... Seven-star Emperor-level Metal Beast?" Si Xu’s eyes widened, his face full of shock.
Si Xu shook his head repeatedly, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. The elders of past generations have all been monitoring, there’s no way they would allow this metal beast to grow to Seven-star Emperor level. The moment it reached Emperor level, it would surely have been killed by the elders of that generation."
Upon hearing Si Xu’s words, Qin Yu also felt... it seemed unlikely that the Emperor-level metal beast could survive, let alone grow to possess Seven-star Emperor-level strength (in the Dark Star Realm, Emperor level is divided into eighteen stars).
"Then what was the reason for those five Yuan Dong Stars being destroyed by Emperor-level metal beasts in history?" Qin Yu suddenly asked.
Situ paused slightly, then sighed, "The reason those five Yuan Dong Stars were wiped out by Emperor-level metal beasts was that the Emperor-level metal beast left Yuan Dong Star immediately upon reaching One-star Emperor level. It attacked only after it had grown stronger."
"Smart." Qin Yu smiled.
The Emperor-level metal beast was truly clever, recognizing that it couldn’t contend with powerful experts just after reaching Emperor level, it actually learned to leave Yuan Dong Star (the term for ’Reunion Star’ used in the Dark Star Realm) to enhance its own strength before striking back.
"Si Xu, I think this Emperor-level metal beast also descended on Sangyuan Star from the outside world, right?" Qin Yu speculated.
Si Xu said gravely, "This matter is too important. A Seven-star Emperor-level metal beast poses too great a danger. We must report this to the elders, as well as to Holy Star." As he spoke, Si Xu took out a Communication Spirit Pearl.
"So the Dark Star Realm’s means of communication is also the Communication Spirit Pearl," Qin Yu marveled inwardly.
What Qin Yu didn’t know was that the Immortal Realm, Demon World, and Demon World all used Communication Spirit Pearls because they learned from the Dark Star Realm. In terms of historical antiquity, the Dark Star Realm had been established much earlier than the Immortal Realm, Demon World, and Demon World.
"The elder will be here soon," Si Xu put away the Communication Spirit Pearl and informed Qin Yu.
Qin Yu nodded, then looked towards the Golden Sun Village, "There’s no need to rush now, the one attacking is only some King-level metal beasts, not the Emperor-level metal beast."
Within the whole of Golden Sun Village, nearly two thousand figures dashed about at extreme speed, battling with the metal beasts.
It seemed that humans held the advantage. While the metal beasts were indeed quite powerful, they lacked intelligence. Without intelligence, it was good if they could utilize even half of their strength.
"Hiss!" A metal wolf had its abdomen pierced through by two hands, then ferociously torn into two parts.
The middle-aged man who had slain the metal wolf let out a wild howl; he was none other than the village chief of Golden Sun Village, Jin Feng.
"Jin Feng is very strong. Though his Soul Realm is at Eighteen-star King level, his body is exceptionally robust, comparable to a One-star Emperor level," Si Xu told Qin Yu.
Qin Yu naturally guessed that this was because of the Gold Core.
Having used a great quantity of Gold Cores and absorbed their liquid, one’s body would develop more and become stronger. With a One-star Emperor-level body, bullying King-level metal beasts made Jin Feng look incredibly dashing in battle.
Jin Feng’s figure was like lightning. Wherever he moved, metal beasts were forcefully torn apart, their blood spattering out.
"Village Chief!" the cultivators of Golden Sun Village cheered.
In just a short while, over half of the metal beasts were dead or injured, while only three people from Golden Sun Village had died and a few dozen were hurt. As their advantage grew, it was believed that killing the remaining beast would further reduce the village’s losses.
"Your elder has arrived," Qin Yu said with a smile.
His Immortal Consciousness clearly detected a figure speeding over from the distance, arriving overhead of Golden Sun Village in the blink of an eye. Judging by his appearance, he seemed to be using Soul Power to diligently search for the Emperor-level metal beast.
The elder of Sangyuan Star, a bald middle-aged man emitting a faint golden radiance, with sharp, electric eyes, scanned various directions below in Golden Sun Village. He gave Qin Yu and Si Xu a slight nod but did not approach them. Clearly, the elder was more concerned about the Emperor-level metal beast, his Soul Power continuously searching below.
"The Soul Realms differ so much? How can you search for it?" Qin Yu wondered to himself.
Qin Yu cast his Immortal Consciousness toward the Emperor-level metal beast.
The Emperor-level metal beast resembled a cheetah, its body made of a kind of deep green metal. Its cold eyes glanced at the elder above with a hint of disdain. Clearly, the Emperor-level metal beast was not concerned about the elder at all.
The Emperor-level metal beast then turned its gaze towards Jin Feng, who was rampantly slaughtering.
"Die." Jin Feng’s face bore a bloodthirsty smile as he formed a claw with one hand, ripped through space, and with a "crack" directly crushed the head of a tiger-shaped metal beast.
Suddenly—
A deep green light streaked across the sky, shooting straight at Jin Feng.
The ever-watchful elder reacted instinctively, shooting towards the deep green light at extreme speed, while Jin Feng, feeling a tremor in his heart as the light approached, quickly retreated.
"Boom!"
The elder actually intercepted the cheetah-shaped metal beast.
Seeing this scene, Si Xu’s face showed a hint of a smile. But Qin Yu shook his head.
"That Emperor-level metal beast deliberately slowed down," Qin Yu spoke out, "The Emperor-level metal beast took the initiative, the elder intercepted afterward. With the elder’s ability, how could he match the speed of a Seven-star Emperor-level metal beast? The fact that he intercepted it now clearly means the Emperor-level metal beast did so on purpose."
Suddenly, Si Xu understood.
"Is it trying to kill the Elder?" Si Xu’s body trembled.
...
Elder Liu Tong of Sangyuan Star was filled with horror at this moment. A few days ago, he had received a message from Holy Star, warning that Emperor-level Metal Beasts had been spotted in the nearby Star Domains, reminding him to be vigilant.
In the past few days, Liu Tong had been carefully monitoring the situation, and just now... Si Xu’s communication had made him rush over immediately. Now, he too encountered the so-called ’Emperor-level Metal Beast’, but Liu Tong had never imagined that the Emperor-level Metal Beast would be so strong.
Just three moves.
A large gash had been torn across Liu Tong’s chest, the blood flowing freely. Had he not dodged slightly just now, his innards might have been ripped out. For an Immortal or Demon World expert, being gutted was not a big deal, but for the people of the Dark Star Realm, it was an incredibly serious wound.
"Sangyuan Star Elder, stop resisting, you’re no match for me. And everyone on Sangyuan Star will die! Not a single one will escape," the deep green leopard’s eyes fixed on Liu Tong, but its voice echoed in Liu Tong’s mind.
Liu Tong’s heart shuddered.
It was true that Emperor-level Metal Beasts possessed intelligence comparable to humans.
"You are the second Yuan Dong Star Elder I have killed," the deep green leopard transmitted its words with the power of its soul; Liu Tong was shocked... Could it be that a Yuan Dong Star Elder had already been killed?
"Swoosh!"
The beast’s claws speed suddenly increased by fifty percent, reaching Liu Tong’s face in the blink of an eye.
Confronted with this claw, Liu Tong closed his eyes; he simply couldn’t dodge it. He could only close his eyes and wait for death... The gap between Four Stars and Seven Stars was just too great.
However, Liu Tong waited for a long time and the expected strike of the claw never came.
"Hey, little leopard, don’t glare at me," a voice sounded.
Liu Tong opened his eyes and saw a sight that left him dumbstruck—
A young man was holding the neck of the Emperor-level Metal Beast with one hand, suspending it. The leopard Emperor-level Metal Beast’s body glowed intermittently as it struggled, but it was unable to break free from the young man’s grip on its neck.
"He, that’s right, he’s the young man who was standing next to Si Xu just now," Liu Tong suddenly recalled.
Qin Yu then turned to Liu Tong and smiled, saying, "Elder of Sangyuan Star, let me introduce myself. I am Liu Xing, an Interstellar Ascetic."
"An Interstellar Ascetic!" Liu Tong was shocked.
In the Dark Star Realm, there was indeed a group of Interstellar Ascetics. This group sought not comfort, but wandered endlessly in the vast Dark Star Realm, constantly cultivating. These people were not well-known, but their strength was often terrifyingly powerful.
After all, who would dare to wander the stars without formidable strength?
"I am Liu Tong, the Elder of Sangyuan Star. I thank Lord Liu Xing for saving my life, and for saving our entire Sangyuan Star," Elder Liu Tong was filled with endless gratitude.
An Emperor-level Metal Beast with Seven Stars.
If it weren’t for Qin Yu, Sangyuan Star would have been doomed, and a Seven-star Emperor-level Metal Beast could have used the Great Teleportation to continue harming other Yuan Dong Stars. The danger posed by a Seven-star Emperor-level Metal Beast was too great!
And based on what the Emperor-level Metal Beast had communicated earlier, another Planet’s Elder had been killed.
At this moment, the horde of Metal Beasts, no longer controlled by the Emperor-level Metal Beast, began to flee in a panic, completely at a disadvantage. In just a moment, all the surviving Metal Beasts had run away.
"Elder, sir." Jin Feng and a group of people approached, speaking respectfully. Si Xu also came over and respectfully said, "Elder, sir."
Jin Feng looked at the Emperor-level Metal Beast with some fear and inquired, "Elder, sir, what rank is this Metal Beast? Could it be... Emperor-level?"
Who didn’t know the notoriety of Emperor-level Metal Beasts?
Elder Liu Tong nodded and said, "This Emperor-level Metal Beast is very powerful, much stronger than me. As for its true strength, Lord Liu Xing should be able to tell." Elder Liu Tong looked respectfully towards Qin Yu.
Jin Feng’s eyelid twitched, and the hearts of the people from Golden Sun Village jumped. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Even the Elder had to address him as Lord!
Qin Yu nodded and said, "This Emperor-level Metal Beast is fairly strong, possessing the strength of a Seven-star Emperor-level Metal Beast." Qin Yu still held the neck of the Emperor-level Metal Beast with one hand, unbothered by its relentless struggling, immobilized.
Seven-star Emperor-level?
The cultivators from Golden Sun Village all widened their eyes, looking at the leopard Metal Beast in Qin Yu’s hand, which seemed like a toy.
A leopard Metal Beast unable to resist when grasped by the neck, yet a Seven-star Emperor-level Metal Beast? If this was true, then what level of Emperor-level Expert was this smiling ’Liu Xing’ Lord before them?
