Stellar Transformation-Chapter 472 - 14 episodes 45 - s Return

"Huff, huff..." Hei Yu held the Cloud Piercing Spear in one hand, his head bowed as he breathed heavily, his eyes still somewhat red as he stared fixedly at the smashed body of Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan.

His face bore a sickly pallor.

At that moment, Qin Yu lifted the spatial restriction around them, and he could guess Hei Yu’s feelings. He stopped Hou Fei. After a while, he and Hou Fei flew up together.

Qin Yu merely patted Hei Yu on the shoulder in comfort.

Hei Yu raised his head, looked at Qin Yu, and then at Hou Fei, a faint smile appearing on his face, "Big Brother, Monkey, I finally killed Peng Demon Emperor with my own hands, and avenged my parents."

A trace of sorrow in Hei Yu’s eyes dissipated; he had always harbored the hatred for his parent’s injustice deep in his heart.

"Hehe, Monkey, Big Brother, I feel much lighter now, and you don’t have to worry anymore," said Hei Yu to Qin Yu and Hou Fei.

Only then did Hou Fei let out a long sigh, and burst into laughter, "Mixed Feathered Bird, seeing that expression of yours, I didn’t even dare to breathe heavily. By the way, Big Brother said that your last move was the Heaven Shattering Stick, but it didn’t look like what Big Brother had used before, and it seemed different from what I taught you, and it even looked more majestic than the ’Heaven Shattering Stick’ Big Brother used."

Hou Fei had never hidden his skills from Hei Yu; in the Inheritance Forbidden Land, he demonstrated spear techniques beforehand and explained the last move.

"Heaven Shattering Stick? I guess it should be," responded Hei Yu, suddenly looking at Hou Fei doubtfully, "Monkey, you said my ’Heaven Shattering Stick’ seemed more majestic than the one Big Brother used, are you mocking me?"

"How could I?" Hou Fei put on an exaggerated expression of being wrongly accused, which clearly showed that he was indeed joking with Hei Yu.

The Heaven Shattering Stick also has its levels.

Due to extreme anger, Hei Yu had suddenly broken through the threshold of the Heaven Shattering Stick and executed it, directly smashing Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan to death with the Cloud Piercing Spear.

Qin Yu was different; the ’principles’ contained in the Heaven Shattering Stick used by Qin Yu were much more profound than those in the Heaven Shattering Stick. Qin Yu’s execution of the ’Heaven Shattering Stick’ seemed ordinary, but was actually a return to simplicity.

"The Heaven Shattering Stick is supposed to be used by poking, why did you use it by smashing?" Hou Fei expressed his doubts.

An embarrassed smile flickered across Hei Yu’s face, "Well, at that moment, I couldn’t care less about the Heaven Shattering Stick; due to extreme anger, I entered a strange state, and impulsively smashed down. The reason I used ’smashing’ might be... because smashing him to bits was more satisfying."

Being more satisfying was indeed the reason; both Hei Yu and Qin Yu couldn’t help but smile.

"Alright," Qin Yu said with a smile, pointing to the body of Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan, "This Peng Demon Emperor’s other belongings are not precious, but this Inheritance Gold Crown is very important."

Qin Yu stretched out his hand and took the Inheritance Gold Crown.

"I heard from the Great Ape Emperor, Sun Yuan," said Hou Fei with a frown, "the inheritances of the Dragon Clan and the Roc Clan can only be acknowledged by members of the Dragon and Roc Clans. Also... an Inheritance Treasure passes from one generation to the next; it absolutely must not be taken to the Divine World. If anyone brings this Inheritance Gold Crown into the Divine World, the ancestors of the Roc Clan there will likely do everything in their power to hunt down that person."

"It’s easy to understand that. The ancestors from both clans in the Divine World put a lot of effort into bringing this treasure to the Immortal Demon Monster World, just to make life a bit better for their descendants. If brought back, wouldn’t it be a waste of their efforts? But I’m wondering... how should we handle the Inheritance Gold Crown?" Qin Yu turned to Hei Yu, "Little Black, you try it. After all, your father was the Dark Electric Peng King; maybe you can make this Inheritance Gold Crown acknowledge its master."

Hei Yu looked at the Inheritance Gold Crown, his eyebrows furrowed together.

"No, I don’t like this Inheritance Gold Crown," said Hei Yu very firmly.

It might have been because he thought of the Crown’s previous owner, Zong Yan, or because he thought of his parents who had died because of this Crown. In any case... Hei Yu loathed the Inheritance Gold Crown.

"Since you don’t like it, let’s return the Inheritance Gold Crown to the Roc Clan. I don’t want to be chased by the ancestors of the Roc Clan in the Divine World over a crown that can’t acknowledge its master," Qin Yu casually tossed the crown aside.

As long as the crown was within the Jiang Lan Realm, Qin Yu could retrieve it at any time.

"Okay, return it to the Roc Clan," Hou Fei also expressed his agreement. Both Qin Yu and Hou Fei looked at Hei Yu, who glanced at the Inheritance Gold Crown and, after a moment, also gently nodded.

In the ’Hei Wu Star,’ the core planet of the Feiqin Clan in the Demon World, chaos was beginning to erupt among some emperor-level experts in the Imperial City. Not long ago, the guards in the room monitoring the Soul Jade Scrolls in the Imperial Palace discovered that the Soul Jade Scroll belonging to Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan had shattered.

A few days ago, the shattering of Ao Ku’s Soul Jade Scroll, though shocking, had not caused chaos in the Imperial City. But the death of Peng Demon Emperor had truly thrown many experts into disarray.

A Peng Demon Emperor with an inheritance treasure had died? Who killed him, and who possessed such strength?

Historically, Peng Demon Emperors either failed the Crossing God Tribulation or lived to enter the Divine World. Zong Yan was the first in history to be killed.

Where is the Inheritance Treasure?

The value of the Inheritance Treasure was even greater than that of Peng Demon Emperor. The death of Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan was acceptable; another could be chosen. But if the Inheritance Treasure were lost, it would greatly diminish the position of the Roc Clan, and the status of the entire Feiqin Clan would be weaker than that of the Beast Clan and the Dragon Clan.

Inside the Grand Hall of the Imperial Palace.

This place had gathered many emperor-level experts of the Feiqin Clan. Compared to thousands of years ago... the original Peng Demon Emperor and his three Eighth Level Demon Emperors had all died. The strength of the Feiqin Clan had significantly weakened since then.

"Gentlemen, Lord Ao Ku died first, and now his Majesty Zong Yan has also passed... Our Feiqin Clan has entered its most perilous time. The most important thing now is to select a new Peng Demon Emperor," a white-robed elder spoke loudly, "According to old rules, both super Divine Beasts of the Roc Clan are eligible for succession. Now, Dark Electric Peng King ’Fang Lan’ is a Fifth Level Demon Emperor, while Golden Winged Peng King Zong Jue is only a Second Level Demon Emperor. Therefore, I think Fang Lan should assume the role of Peng Demon Emperor. I suppose no one has any objections?"

This white-robed elder was also an extremely old and powerful Demon Emperor. His words were well-founded.

The title of Peng Demon Emperor generally went to one of the two super Divine Beasts of the Roc Clan, choosing the stronger one.

At this moment, Zong Jue stood up.

"Zong Jue, do you wish to take the throne?" the white-robed elder demanded.

Zong Jue smiled and said, "I have no objections to Brother Fang Lan becoming Peng Demon Emperor, but Lord Ao Ku and his Majesty Zong Yan have both been killed one after the other. Even the Inheritance Treasure has been left outside. How can a Peng Demon Emperor command the entire Feiqin Clan or earn their trust without the Inheritance Treasure? Thus, I think the most important thing is to find the Inheritance Treasure."

"Brother Fang Lan, wouldn’t you agree?" Zong Jue’s gaze swept toward Fang Lan in the corner.

Fang Lan had been drooping his eyelids all this time, but at Zong Jue’s question, he lifted his eyelids, and the profound look in his eyes made the people around him feel a wave of fear. Fang Lan said coldly, "Without the Inheritance Treasure, the Peng Demon Emperor is no Peng Demon Emperor."

After speaking, Fang Lan fell silent.

"Let us discuss how to find the Inheritance Treasure," the white-robed elder said loudly.

Instantly, the entire hall erupted into discussion; the top experts of the Feiqin Clan were all deeply troubled by the Inheritance Treasure. After a long discussion, they still couldn’t come up with any ideas.

Leaning to the side with his eyes half-closed in feigned sleep, Fang Lan frowned as he heard the noisy discussions, looked up at everyone, and said coldly, "Looking for the Inheritance Treasure? Even Zong Yan, who possessed the Inheritance Treasure, has been killed by enemies. Even if you find and take the Inheritance Treasure from the enemy, who can overcome them?"

Everyone was taken aback, then sighed heavily in silence.

Everyone understood this logic, but they were still discussing it, only wishing to ’try’ a bit harder; now that Fang Lan had clarified it, everyone also gave up in their hearts.

An Emperor-level expert among them, a woman, said coldly, "Fang Lan, didn’t you just say ’without the Inheritance Treasure, the Peng Demon Emperor is not the Peng Demon Emperor’? You must agree with ’first find the Inheritance Treasure, then confirm the position of Peng Demon Emperor.’ What do you mean by saying this now? Have you given up on finding the Inheritance Treasure?"

"Given up?" Fang Lan simply smiled disdainfully, then leaned to the side, feigning sleep again, no longer paying any attention to anyone else.

The group of experts from the Feiqin Tribe looked at each other in the great hall. But no matter what, they couldn’t come up with any ideas. They could only gather in groups and pairs, discussing with each other.

They discussed the astonishing power of the murderer who killed Zong Yan and the consequences of not having the Inheritance Treasure...

"It’s lively here," a voice suddenly echoed throughout the entire hall.

In an instant, everyone in the hall fell silent, all turning to look towards the entrance of the great hall.

They saw three young men walking side by side into the hall, and not a single palace guard tried to stop them. The clothes on these three young men fluttered without wind, rustling loudly.

The youth in the golden robe wore a wicked smile, the one in the white robe looked at everyone with icy coldness, only the youth in the black robe had a serene and profound gaze.

As the three entered the hall, the overwhelming aura that came with them made the Demon Emperors in the hall choke; it felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on their chests, making it hard to breathe.

"Who are you?" the white-robed elder managed to resist the pressure due to his profound abilities.

"Qin Yu, is that you?" Zong Jue looked at Qin Yu and his brothers in surprise.

Qin Yu smiled and nodded at Zong Jue, greeting him.

Hou Fei, standing next to Qin Yu, said with a wicked grin, "When Zong Yan was alive, it wasn’t this lively here. It’s even livelier after his death. We three brothers came here with no particular business, just to do a good deed after killing your Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan, by giving you the Inheritance Gold Crown."

Taking the Inheritance Gold Crown passed to him by Qin Yu, Hou Fei fiddled with it, intentionally muttering, "Oh, why does the Inheritance Treasure look like a gold crown?" while pinching it a couple of times.

"Stop it." A few Demon Emperors couldn’t help shouting.

The Inheritance Treasure was the crown of successive Peng Demon Emperors. In the Feiqin Tribe, it held a supremely exalted status, even more important than the Peng Demon Emperor himself. Now that Hou Fei was playing with it as if it were a toy, how could they not be enraged?

"You’ve annoyed your lord Hou Fei, so I won’t give you the Inheritance Gold Crown," said Hou Fei, his face darkening as he spoke coldly.

Qin Yu, however, began to laugh on the side. Hou Fei’s change of face was indeed swift. But the effect was excellent; immediately, no one in the hall dared to say anything. Even the Peng Demon Emperor had been killed, and the aura emitted by the three brothers also showed their terrifying strength.

Legend had it that Qin Yu broke the seal on the entrance of the Mishen Temple with a single spear strike, a feat also known to this group of Demon Emperors. Who would dare to provoke these three brothers?

"All right, seeing how obedient you are now, I’ll give it to you," Hou Fei said, tossing the crown to the ground as if disposing of trash.

"Whoo!"

The white-robed elder was the first to react, skimming along the ground at high speed and catching the Inheritance Gold Crown in an instant.

Qin Yu and Zong Jue exchanged slight nods, then Qin Yu turned to Hou Fei and said, "Feifei, stop wasting time with them, let’s go back." Hou Fei nodded, then cast a mocking glance at the Demon Emperors in the hall.

Then, just like when they had entered, the three brothers walked out of the hall side by side, with no guard approaching to stop them. After leaving the hall for a distance, Qin Yu and his brothers simultaneously vanished into thin air.

"Phew!" The group of Demon Emperors finally exhaled a long breath, all thinking to themselves, "Too terrifying."

"What’s the matter with you?" one of the Demon Emperors shouted at the guards outside, "How did you let them swagger in here? Even if you couldn’t stop them, you should have at least made a show of it."

The guards were sweating profusely, one of the guard leaders helplessly said, "Sir, it’s not that we didn’t block them, but we simply couldn’t move."

Immortal Realm, the core planet of the Feng Pan Star System, Flame Sun Star.

Flame Sun Star was the stronghold of Emperor Yan, one of the three current leaders of the Immortal Realm. Qin Yu had arranged for his father and others to be in the Chi Yang Star System, which also belonged to Emperor Yan. Qin Yu decided it was best to greet Emperor Yan properly.

Flame Sun Star was hot, but because it was Emperor Yan’s stronghold, a large number of people entered the planet every day.

In the skies of Flame Sun Star, Qin Yu and his brothers were all using Soul Power to search.

"Eh?" Qin Yu suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Big Brother, what’s there to be surprised about? Emperor Yan’s strength hasn’t increased; he’s still at the Eighth Level Immortal Emperor," Hou Fei looked at Qin Yu curiously, and Hei Yu, although silent, was also curiously watching Qin Yu.

Qin Yu explained with a smile, "No, I’m not surprised by Emperor Yan. I’m surprised that I’ve found an old friend from the Immortal Realm, ’Jun Luoyu’!"
