Stellar Transformation-Chapter 468: Episode 14 - 41 Breaking the Seal

The Demon World’s core planet, Hei Wu Star, within the Imperial Palace.

Ever since his battle with Wu Lan, Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan had become much more restrained, focusing on cultivation in hopes of reaching the Ninth-level Demon Emperor Realm. In the more than three thousand years since Qin Yu’s disappearance, Zong Yan had rarely contacted Emperor Xuan.

Within a secret chamber of the Imperial Palace.

"What does Emperor Xuan want with me?" Zong Yan took out the Communication Spirit Pearl with a flip of his hand. A sweep of his Demon Recognition, and his brow furrowed: Qin Yu had appeared, but why would Emperor Xuan tell me this?

"Xuan Xi, for what purpose are you informing me of this news?" Zong Yan transmitted his inquiry.

"Brother Zong Yan, you pursued and tried to kill the Qin Yu brothers back then, even killing Hei Yu’s sister ’Bai Xin’, and there are deep grudges of patricide and matricide between Hei Yu and you. Do you really think the Qin Yu brothers won’t trouble you?" Xuan Xi replied with a question.

Zong Yan’s brow slightly creased.

The grudge between him and Hei Yu was indeed difficult to resolve.

"Xuan Xi, you needn’t worry about that. To this day, whether Hei Yu knows who his biological parents are is still uncertain. What’s most important is... killing Hei Yu is tricky for me, but it is impossible for the three Qin brothers to kill me. I, Zong Yan, am still confident in my speed," Zong Yan replied nonchalantly.

Obviously, Zong Yan had no desire to clash with Qin Yu.

Over three thousand years ago, he and Emperor Yu’s couple, along with his subordinates, worked together only to end up fleeing in a disheveled retreat. Considering the Qin brothers’ cultivation speed, their current strength was sure to be even more terrifying. And then there was Wu Lan, whom Zong Yan had no wish to humiliate himself against.

"I am fast, they simply cannot kill me!"—This was the real thought in Zong Yan’s mind.

Xuan Xi transmitted a message, "Brother Zong Yan, don’t deceive yourself. The Qin brothers were formidable after only a few hundred years of cultivation; now, after more than three thousand years, no one knows the extent of their power. Not long ago, I saw Qin Yu, and I feel... he is very frightening now."

"You met him, and he didn’t kill you?" Zong Yan was surprised.

Xuan Xi smiled faintly and transmitted back, "I have my ways, but what I want to tell you is that Qin Yu’s current strength is astonishing. Just feeling the aura he emanates, I know... I probably can’t withstand even one of his moves. He gives me the same impression as the Green Emperor from back in the day, very similar!"

Xuan Xi was unaware that such an aura was characteristic of having cultivated a ’Soul Golden Core’.

Having cultivated for eons, the Green Emperor had long reached the Soul Golden Core Realm, hence the similarity in presence with Qin Yu. This was also why Qin Yu couldn’t discern the Green Emperor’s realm upon their first meeting.

"Very similar to the Green Emperor?" Zong Yan’s expression changed.

Thinking of the Green Emperor made Zong Yan fearful. Back when he faced the Green Emperor alongside Emperor Yu and a few others, they couldn’t even make a single move. The gap in strength was just too vast.

"That’s why I’m informing you, be careful of a vendetta from the Qin brothers. That’s all I have to say, Brother Zong Yan. How you decide to respond is none of my concern now." Emperor Xuan concluded and cut off the communication.

Zong Yan still clutched the Communication Spirit Pearl, his facial expression shifting several times, becoming somewhat grim.

"Deal with Qin Yu? I can’t even overcome his subordinates, let alone kill Qin Yu?" Zong Yan slowly shook his head, making a decision in his heart.

******

According to Xuan Xi, the aura of the Green Emperor resembled that of the current Qin Yu.

But in terms of strength, who is stronger, Qin Yu or the Green Emperor?

Although the Green Emperor had cultivated for a long time, his Soul Realm at best was close to a Middle Grade Divine Being. Qin Yu’s Soul Realm, augmented by Meteor Tear, was definitively stronger than his.

With the treasure received from Mishen Palace, after millions of years of full refinement, the Green Emperor could instantly restrain Zong Yan, Emperor Yu, and others. Although the treasure was impressive, it paled in comparison to the most cherished Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact, the Divine Spear ’Residual Snow’, beloved by the owner of Mishen Palace.

If Qing Emperor were to fight with the current Qin Yu, just the appearance of the Divine Spear Residual Snow would make it impossible for Qing Emperor to withstand a single strike!

...

At one of the two major entrances to the Mishen Temple, the one belonging to the Demon Realm.

Qin Yu stood alone outside the entrance. After bidding farewell to his father and elder brother on Yu Yang Star, he used the Great Teleportation to rapidly make his way here. Now his speed was nearly ten times faster than it had been before.

"Eight-Nine Locking Array?" Qin Yu smiled faintly.

"Boy outside, by the joint agreement of the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Worlds, this entrance has been sealed. No one is allowed to enter; you better leave quickly," a loud voice came from within the Mishen Temple entrance.

Qin Yu was indifferent in his heart, "Joint agreement of the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Realms? It’s just an agreement among a few leaders, I suppose."

"I have obtained this Divine Spear ’Residual Snow’, yet I haven’t used it even once. Among the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Realms, perhaps this seal is worthy of one use," Qin Yu said with a hint of excitement as he flicked his wrist and produced a long spear.

The dark spear shaft with the bright spearhead, and the blood-red thread wrapped around the head, added a touch of murderous aura.

"Haha, what does that kid outside want to do? Does he really think he can break the Eight-Nine Locking Array? That’s hilarious. Even the Dragon Emperor and Peng Demon Emperor couldn’t break it. Who does this kid think he is, a god?"

"Brothers, we’ve been bored for ten thousand years here. Let’s watch the show and see how this kid tries to crack the ’Eight-Nine Locking Array’."

...

The seventy-two Emperor-level experts inside the formation laughed unrestrainedly, looking forward to Qin Yu’s embarrassment.

Holding the spear in one hand, the spear pointing obliquely downward, Qin Yu’s figure was erect, his black hair fluttered, and his gaze was fixed on the sealing of the Eight-Nine Locking Array.

"Residual Snow, let this first strike capture the essence of ’Heaven Shattering Stick’," Qin Yu’s wrist gave a slight shake, and the Divine Spear Residual Snow instantly transformed into a dragon with a slight twisting motion as it shot towards the entrance.

Irresistible!

Break!

The seventy-two Emperor-level experts inside watched with wide eyes what was unfolding.

A simple move.

Yet, to them, it seemed as if the space around Qin Yu twisted and changed completely with his motion, while his long spear created a series of illusions in an instant.

"Pfft!"

Several illusions combined into one, but the spearhead seemed to pierce through paper, penetrating the seal of the Eight-Nine Locking Array. The seventy-two experts who set up the formation spat out blood as the formation broke.

"That move just now..." One Emperor-level expert still had blood at the corner of his mouth, yet his eyes were wide open as he recalled that spear strike.

They all saw it clearly.

That one strike appeared simple, and its speed didn’t seem fast. But they all remembered... the space seemed to distort with the spear motion, and from the moment the spear left Qin Yu’s hand to the instant it pierced the seal, they failed to see it clearly.

It was as if the spear had instantaneously moved.

"Haha, wrong, wrong, an ’Domain’ of an Emperor-level expert, what a joke, a joke indeed. This, this is a Domain, a true Domain." Among the seventy-two Emperor-level experts, one young man suddenly burst into laughter, "I finally understand, this is the true control of space, this is a ’Domain’."

The young man flew to Qin Yu’s side and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Senior, for that spear. I have been trapped at the Sixth Level Demon Emperor for many years, but just now, in that instant, I understood, and I have now the confidence to reach the Ninth-level Demon Emperor Realm within a hundred years."

"This kid is talking in his sleep," someone immediately sneered nearby. Seeing one spear and being sure one could reach Ninth-level Demon Emperor?

That young man still stood reverently before Qin Yu, "Senior’s control of space far surpasses that of the Dragon Emperor, the Peng Demon Emperor, and others, as well as my master’s. Dare I ask if Senior is from the Divine World?"

This young man was none other than a disciple of Mo Kong, a Ninth-level Demon Emperor from the Demon World.

Usually under Mo Kong’s guidance, he also progressed rapidly, but having seen Qin Yu’s spear, he realized how superficial his master’s teachings had been. He suddenly discovered the Dao and felt confident that he could reach the Ninth-level Demon Emperor within a hundred years.

"Your comprehension is indeed very good. However, I am not a person from the Divine World," Qin Yu said with a light smile.

"Junior ’Wu Long,’ may I ask who Senior is...?" the young demon Wu Long asked respectfully.

Qin Yu glanced at ’Wu Long,’ then looked at the other seventy-one Emperor-level experts, and said with a smile, "Today, I broke the seal not because I despise the tyranny of some leaders from the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World. From here on, it is best not to seal this entrance again. If I find out next time, I will kill all those who set up the seal."

The seventy-two Emperor-level experts all felt a tremor in their hearts.

Just that one spear, like piercing through paper, broke the seal, making everyone aware... even Dragon Emperor and others were no match for this person. If this person truly wanted to kill them...

Fear crept into the hearts of these seventy-two Emperor-level experts.

"I shall spare you this time," Qin Yu’s casual words allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Go back and tell your leaders not to set up this seal again. I don’t like it," Qin Yu said coldly.

"Yes, Senior," those seventy-two Emperor-level experts dared not waste any more words.

As Qin Yu glanced at the seventy-two people, he immediately flew into the entrance. As he passed through the crowd, Qin Yu’s elusive voice rang out once more, "You can tell your leaders that my name is... Qin Yu!"

"Qin Yu?" the Emperor-level experts mostly came to their senses. By the time they turned their heads to look, Qin Yu had already disappeared into the mist of the Divine Restriction.

"Senior Qin Yu is truly too formidable. His strength could compare to a Nineth-level Immortal Emperor back in the day, and to think that in these years of absence, his strength has actually reached this extent," many exclaimed in shock.

Meanwhile, the demon youngster ’Wu Long’ looked at the misty Divine Illusion Technique Restriction and secretly thought, "Senior Qin Yu, the generosity of that one spear is comparable to the kindness of my master’s teachings. Wu Long will never forget."

Afterward, Wu Long was the first to leave the place, followed by the departure of the other seventy-one Emperor-level experts.

Wu Long had proclaimed that he would reach the Ninth-level Demon Emperor within a hundred years, a claim that many Emperor-level experts had ridiculed today. But a hundred years later... Wu Long truly became the first and foremost expert of the Demon World, and what’s more, he became most proficient with the spear!

******

In Immortal Realm’s Crescent Bay.

Emperor Liu, who had succeeded the position of the Green Emperor, was currently in shock. Before him stood five Immortal Emperors who had just returned from the entrance of Mishen Palace.

"What did you just say?" Emperor Liu asked once again.

The leader among the five spoke respectfully, "Your Majesty, I said, not long ago, the ’Eight-Nine Locking Array’ at the entrance of the Mishen Palace, was broken by a single person using just a spear."

"Impossible, it’s impossible!" Emperor Liu found it hard to believe.

After the Eight-Nine Locking Array was successfully set up, high-level masters like the Dragon Emperor, Peng Demon Emperor, and Great Ape Emperor had all tried to attack it. Even when several formidable masters joined forces to attack, they could not break through the seal.

"Your Majesty, you might as well take a look, and the emperor-level experts who set up the formation also know this," the Immortal Emperor said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the person who broke the formation also said that he no longer allows the setting up of the Eight-Nine Locking Array. He said he cannot stand such domineering acts and that if he finds it happening again, he will slaughter all those who set up the formation," added the Immortal Emperor.

Emperor Liu fell silent.

After a long silence, Emperor Liu spoke, "Who is the person that broke the formation?"

"He said his name is Qin Yu!" replied the Immortal Emperor respectfully.

"Qin Yu..." Emperor Liu’s eyebrows lifted, his eyes filled with uncontrollable shock.

...

The previous Dragon Emperor, Ao Fang, had abdicated, and the current Dragon Emperor was none other than Ao Wuming.

However, Ao Wuming did not have the Inheritance Treasure at the moment, which was at his own request. He had declared that he would accept the Inheritance Treasure only after his father, Ao Fang, had used it to get through the Divine Tribulation.

Ao Wuming looked at the fourteen emperor-level experts under him; these were the very people who had gone to set up the ’Eight-Nine Locking Array.’ Hearing what they had reported, Ao Wuming still found it hard to believe.

"Wuming, what has happened?" Ao Fang entered the great hall.

"Father, a master has broken through the Eight-Nine Locking Array and even said that from now on, sealing that entrance is not allowed. If it happens again, he will slaughter all those who set up the formation," Ao Wuming said with a faint smile on his face.

"Impossible, both Great Ape Emperor and I have tried before, and neither of us could break the seal. Who could break it?" Ao Fang could not believe it.

"Father, you can ask the others; it is the truth," said Ao Wuming solemnly.

Seeing Ao Wuming speak so seriously, Ao Fang became cautious, yet the idea that there was someone in the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Worlds capable of breaking the Eight-Nine Locking Array was too much of a blow to the Dragon Emperor.

"The one who broke the formation is beyond your imagination," Ao Wuming said with a smile.

"Who, the new Golden Punishment Monarch from the Dark Star Realm?" Ao Fang inquired, thinking that only the first sovereign of the Dark Star Realm’s Three Great Sovereigns, the ’Golden Punishment Monarch,’ could possibly do it.

Ao Wuming shook his head and laughed, "I don’t know about the Golden Punishment Monarch, but the one who broke the formation is named... Qin Yu!"

"Qin Yu?" Ao Fang’s breath seemed to be blocked momentarily, and it took him a while before he could speak again.

...

The news of Qin Yu breaking the seal spread with the return of those seventy-two emperor-level experts and soon became known to all the major experts of the Three Realms. Demon World’s Peng Demon Emperor, Bull Demon Emperor, Great Ape Emperor, and others; Immortal Realm’s Emperor Yan, Emperor Xuan, Emperor Liu, and others; Demon World’s Blood Demon Emperor, Black Demon Emperor, and others.

In short, Qin Yu’s astonishing strength made everyone wary.

And no one dared propose to seal the entrance to the Mishen Temple again.
