Stellar Transformation-Chapter 488: Episode 14 - 61 Together Crossing the Divine Tribulation
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, forty years had gone by.
On a desolate planet not far from Yu De Star, the heat was unbearable, with the ground’s gravel cracked open from the scorching sun. Yet, this planet was currently crowded with over a hundred people.
Each person had a smile on their face, excitedly talking to each other, unaffected by the intense heat.
"Father, isn’t it a bit reckless for Little Yu to undergo Divine Tribulation together with Hou Fei and Hei Yu?" Qin Feng was standing next to Qin De, still feeling somewhat apprehensive at this moment.
Qin De said with a light smile, "I’m always confident about Yu’er’s decisions. If he dares to do this, he must be fully confident."
"Qin De, you have indeed raised a good son." A clear voice came from beside them, and Xuan Xi, in a jade-green robe, came walking over.
"Eh?" Qin De and Qin Feng were both perplexed. Over the years, they had met Xuan Xi no less than a hundred times, and she usually wore pink, purple, or white. A jade-green robe was something they were seeing for the first time.
Qin De asked with a smile, "Emperor Xuan, this outfit is a first for us."
She wore the jade-green robe, yet there was an air of girlish charm about her.
"I’ve worn it before, but it’s been many, many years since the last time. Qin De, for Brother Qin Yu to dare to undergo the Divine Tribulation with two others, this is unheard of in the history of the Immortal, Demon, and Beast worlds," Xuan Xi said with a smile.
Qin De shook his head and sighed, "Yu’er insisted on doing it this way; my advice was to no avail."
"Brother Qin, there’s no need to worry about Little Yu." Feng Yuzi and his wife ’Lian Yu’ also came over, side by side.
Xuan Xi suddenly frowned and glanced at the eighty-some people in the distance, confusion arising in her heart: "Who exactly are these eighty-plus people? How come over eighty of them are Emperor-level experts? And I almost can’t recognize their true forms!"
Those eighty-some people were in fact the eighty-plus Demon Beasts from various cosmic spaces that had joined Qin Yu earlier.
In reality, ever since these eighty-some people had voluntarily become one of the Spiritual Beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts List, they had never entered the ’Ten Thousand Beasts List’ because opening the Third Layer of it was too difficult. Therefore, they had been living outside all this time.
It was the same as when Immortal Emperor Ni Yang died, leaving Wu Lan and Ye Qu outside of the Ten Thousand Beasts List.
"Brother Qin, I seem to have never seen these eighty-plus people before?" Xuan Xi asked, puzzled.
Qin Feng, however, said, "Emperor Xuan, these eighty-plus people are Tributors of the Qin Family. They usually live in the Qin Mansion, so it’s normal for Emperor Xuan not to have seen them."
The Qin Mansion, also known as ’Qingyu Immortal Mansion,’ was indeed a place Emperor Xuan had never entered.
"I see," Xuan Xi said with a smile, nodding. But inwardly, she thought, "I didn’t expect the Qin Family to have such a group of experts. Just considering the number of Emperor-level experts under their command, they’re not inferior to me."
"The first step of my revenge plan this time is to kill Qin De, throw Qin Yu’s mind into chaos, letting a Heart Demon invade him during the Third Layer of Divine Tribulation and having him obliterated by the Divine Tribulation. These eighty-plus Tributors are indeed powerful, but if I get close to Qin De... These people are weaker than me; they won’t be able to stop me in time."
Xuan Xi had already planned her revenge.
There were two steps to her plan for revenge against Qin Yu.
When Xuan Xi first discovered the Qin Family Members, she initially wanted to kill the entire Qin Family. But then she realized, killing the Qin Family would only enrage Qin Yu, leading him to kill her out of hatred. Subsequently, Qin Yu would be free from the burden of worrying about his family, which might accelerate his cultivation progress and lead to higher achievements.
Her revenge was aimed at Qin Yu, and Xuan Xi did not want Qin Yu to reach higher accomplishments.
So she crafted this plan.
"Your power is strong, terrifyingly strong!" Xuan Xi stared at the distance where Qin Yu, quietly cultivating with Hou Fei and Hei Yu, was sitting cross-legged, silently waiting for the Divine Tribulation to descend.
"But, Qin Yu, you’re too arrogant. To undergo the Divine Tribulation together with three people, the power of the Divine Tribulation isn’t threefold, but eight or ninefold, even up to more than tenfold! I refuse to believe... once the Heart Demon invades your body, then how will you withstand a third-layer Divine Tribulation of more than tenfold power!"
Hatred churned in Xuan Xi’s heart, but her face remained calm.
Once a Heart Demon successfully invades, it is extremely terrifying. If Qin Yu gets possessed by a Heart Demon, without his Spiritual Wisdom, perhaps only relying on the "Golden Punishment Spirit Pearl" he might still save his life, but without Qin Yu’s help, it would be dangerous for Hou Fei and Hei Yu to withstand it.
"At the moment of Tribulation Crossing, to witness your father king’s death, I refuse to believe that you won’t be mentally shaken!" Xuan Xi sneered inwardly, "Once your mind is shaken, Heart Demon invasion, that will be your time of death."
This was the only plan Xuan Xi was convinced could succeed.
She couldn’t think of a better one.
"It’s him!" Xuan Xi’s pupils suddenly contracted as she spotted someone.
Xuan Xi would never forget the man who killed her husband ’Emperor Yu’ with a single punch, and at this moment, that lean and dark man was with two others. These three men all exuded a powerful aura.
"Three ninth-level Demon Emperors!" Xuan Xi’s heart shook violently.
Standing not far away were Wu Lan, Ye Qu, and Ao Wuxu, who had also come to watch the Qin brothers undergo tribulation. Wu Lan had recently reached the level of a ninth-level Demon Emperor after cultivating in the second layer of the Jiang Lan Realm.
"Hmph, three ninth-level Demon Emperors, they won’t affect my plans. I will move closer to Qin De. When I make my move to kill Qin De, I estimate those three ninth-level Demon Emperors will only have time to react. And even if they do discover my attack, it will be too late for them to save him!"
Xuan Xi was very confident.
She possessed Divine Artifact Combat Clothes and to kill Qin De, she needed only one strike! If she were to make a sudden move next to Qin De, even if Qin Yu wasn’t undergoing Tribulation, he would probably only have time to react, and saving him in an instant would be nearly impossible.
"Master, the Divine Tribulation is about to descend, let’s watch from here," said the beautiful woman Lian Yu respectfully.
Xuan Xi smiled lightly and said, "Good." With that, Xuan Xi walked over to Qin De’s side.
At the moment, the people watching Qin Yu’s Tribulation Crossing were divided into three major blocks.
The first block was the group at the front, which included Qin De, Qin Feng, the husband and wife Feng Yuzi, Qin Feng’s daughter, Qin Feng’s grandson Qin Nan... and some other high-ranking members of the Qin Family. Of course, it also included Xuan Xi who was standing by Qin De and Feng Yuzi.
The second block consisted of other Qin Family members, some juniors. This group was behind Qin De and the others.
The third block was composed of more than eighty tributors, as well as Ye Qu, Wu Lan, Ao Wuxu, and others at the edge of this area.
Xuan Xi and Qin De stood side by side, conversing and laughing with each other.
"Qin De, there’s no need to worry about Brother Qin Yu, I believe he will surely succeed in overcoming the Divine Tribulation," Xuan Xi said with a smile to Qin De, who nodded slightly and replied, "Then I thank Emperor Xuan for your auspicious words."
And at that moment—
"Rumble~~~~" Endless dark clouds churned, and suddenly the sky above the desolate planet was covered with a layer of roaring, turbulent dark clouds intermingled with thunder and lightning.
"Hiss hiss~~~"
The Qin Yu brothers, seated cross-legged, suddenly found the space within a ten-mile radius around them completely distorted.
"It’s starting, Big Brother," Hou Fei was the first to open his eyes.
Hei Yu also opened his eyes and looked up. Qin Yu was the last to open his eyes, gazing up at the roiling dark clouds in the sky with a faint smile, "The three of us face the God Tribulation together, I really want to see just how powerful this divine tribulation is."
The three brothers almost simultaneously stood up, their bodies as straight as flagpoles, their robes billowing without wind, making a whistling sound.
"Boom-Crack!" As a bolt of thunder tore from the black clouds, millions of electric snakes exploded in the ten-mile distorted area, bombarding it. Faced with the onslaught of countless thunderbolts, the Qin Yu brothers stood with their hands behind their backs, looking up at the sky, utterly indifferent.
Qin Family’s genius, grandson of Qin Feng, ’Qin Nan,’ was currently staring unblinkingly at the scene, his mouth slightly agape as he breathed heavily in low whispers.
In his heart, the figures of the Qin Yu brothers were like Heavenly Gods.
"One day, I will be like this too!" vowed Qin Nan in his heart.
Not just Qin Nan, but all the Qin Family, including the tributors, were shocked by the scene before them, and they were even more stunned by the myriad electric snakes that filled the sky.
"Such a prelude of thousands of electric snakes before the descent of a divine tribulation is unprecedented," said Xuan Xi, seemingly worried, "The power of this God Tribulation might be very great."
Qin De, Qin Feng, and others like Feng Yuzi also grew concerned.
Xuan Xi, with his immortal consciousness, clearly observed the expressions on the faces of those like Qin De, Qin Feng, and Feng Yuzi, and couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly, "Qin Yu, oh Qin Yu, just by observing the thousands of electric snakes before the god tribulation, one can gauge the might of this tribulation. I wasn’t fully sure if the plan would succeed, but now it seems... even Heaven is helping me. Who asked you to insist on the three of you crossing the God Tribulation together? You bring this disaster upon yourselves; you cannot live by acting against reason!"
...
The endless rolling black clouds suddenly seemed as if a stream of fresh blood had emerged from within, growing more and more intense. A massive blood cloud, at least thousands of miles in radius, burst forth from the black clouds.
"Huff, huff..."
A series of rapid breaths echoed. The Qin Family members watching from a distance felt a soul-deep oppression just due to the pressure of the tribulation clouds.
Beams of light flickered as the Qin Family’s tributors, Wu Lan, Emperor Xuan, and others took action to set up huge restrictions, protecting everyone on the outside.
"An unprecedented divine tribulation," Xuan Xi said, his eyes shining with light.
...
The blood cloud sea, sprawling thousands of miles, was spinning, and within it, a grinding disc about ten miles in size slowly emerged. Within this grinding disc flowed strands of deep blue lightning.
"Eighty-one strands!" Qin Yu, looking up, slightly furrowed his brow.
"Little Black, Feifei, even the first layer of divine tribulation for Green Emperor and Golden Punishment Lord Xing Yuan was just nine strands of deep blue lightning, but our tribulation has eighty-one. This power is not merely nine times greater. The amount has increased ninefold, but amplified by the ancient formation, the power is tens of times greater, or even more," Qin Yu said with a serious face.
It seemed he had underestimated it. The combined power of the three facing the God Tribulation together was terrifyingly immense.
"Big Brother, leave this first layer of divine tribulation to me," Hou Fei cackled, "My Heaven Shattering Stick has just been mastered. Let’s use this to give it a test."
Qin Yu’s brow lightly knitted, "Feifei, considering this first layer of divine tribulation, the eighty-one strands of deep blue lightning form an ancient formation with incredibly vast power. Even if you block it, you are likely to be injured."
"I’ll take action with the monkey," said the white-robed Hei Yu, his voice as cold as ever, "The monkey can use the Heaven Shattering Stick, and I’ll use the Heaven Shattering Spear. That should be enough."
Qin Yu nodded.
"Boom, boom, boom~~~~"
The ancient formation grinding disc, composed of eighty-one deep blue lightning rays, slowly descended from the sky, its diameter of ten miles matching the area where Qin Yu and the other two were crossing the tribulation.
As the grinding disc gradually descended, the tribulation crossing area began to shake.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"
Hou Fei and Hei Yu shot up into the sky like arrows released from their bows, charging towards the huge ancient formation grinding disc.
The Qin Family members, Emperor Xuan, and those eighty-some tributors all watched closely as this scene unfolded. Suddenly, a massive stick shadow and a soaring spear shadow appeared.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
These two loud noises erupted almost simultaneously with the appearance of the massive stick and spear shadows.
At the same time—
The giant stick shadow and spear shadow penetrated the ancient formation grinding disc, which started to crumble and disintegrate, while the eighty-one deep blue lightning rays broke free and flew chaotically in all directions.
Without the amplification of the ancient formation, the deep blue lightning alone couldn’t harm Qin Yu and the other two.
"Big Brother." Hou Fei and Hei Yu, with a "swoosh", appeared beside Qin Yu.
Qin Yu smiled and nodded, "Not bad."
Hou Fei looked up at the blood cloud covering the sky, "But the power of that ancient formation grinding disc was really tremendous. Mixed Feathered Bird and I joined forces, and we still felt the terrifying force of the backlash."
"I’ll take on the second layer of divine tribulation." Qin Yu said with a smile.
Hou Fei and Hei Yu didn’t say much, as they knew Qin Yu’s astonishing strength. The second divine tribulation was ’Divine Fire Tribulation’, and Qin Yu was one hundred percent confident in dealing with it.
Because Qin Yu possessed the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure ’Refining Fire Bracelet’, he could easily collect the divine fire with it. However, Qin Yu knew that some experts in the Divine World could observe his tribulation through the divine tribulation; it would still be better not to use the ’Refining Fire Bracelet’.
The ’Golden Punishment Spirit Pearl’ from the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure was enough.
"Hiss, hiss~~~" The ten-mile-wide blood cloud split into an inner and an outer ring, rotating in opposite directions. The intersection of these two rings began to emit wisps of black flames, a truly astonishing black divine fire generated by the blood clouds.
The black divine fire gathered together, eventually forming...
A black fireball!
Yes, a black fireball. This black fireball had a diameter of about a kilometer. This black fireball was now hurtling down like lightning, and Qin Yu was looking up at it with a slight smile on his face.
