Stellar Transformation

At this moment, everything was under control. The three Third Tribulation Independent Immortals, with two enveloped by the Heavenly Demon Blood Cloud and Elder Qian Xu himself having sustained very serious injuries, to kill Elder Qian Xu was as simple as flipping one’s hand.

"Hiss hiss~~~~" the sound of a firestick entering the water rang out, as True Master Yue Yan and True Master Shui Rou both erupted with powerful energy from their bodies, continually consuming the Heavenly Demon Blood Cloud. Yet the Blood Cloud’s depletion was slow, their strength, however, depleted much quicker.

"To think you Third Tribulation Independent Immortals could break the Heavenly Demon Blood Cloud with your cultivation, utter folly," Lady Yan Ji said indifferently, while a Poison Tail Needle appeared between her fingers.

The needle’s tip aimed at Elder Qian Xu.

"Qian Xu, your two junior brothers are waiting for you," Lady Yan Ji said with a smile, her palm trembled slightly, and the Poison Tail Needle shot out like an arrow.

Elder Qian Xu, who had been motionless since falling to the ground, at the moment the Poison Tail Needle was fired, moved with the speed of lightning towards the outside of the great hall.

Since collapsing, Elder Qian Xu had been swallowing pills and accumulating energy all the while, waiting until the very moment Lady Yan Ji attacked him to finally unleash all the energy stored within his body, seizing the last chance—to escape.

"Ah!"

A Poison Tail Needle pierced Elder Qian Xu’s glabella, and the Demon Essence Power contained within wreaked havoc in his body. The briefly accumulated energy instantly dissipated into nothing, and Elder Qian Xu fell from the sky.

"You, you fired two needles," Elder Qian Xu saw Lady Yan Ji’s extended left hand, knowing very well that the first Poison Tail Needle she shot had been with her right hand.

"Clever, but... too late," Lady Yan Ji drawled, walking slowly to where Elder Qian Xu lay.

Lady Yan Ji, as a Fourth Tribulation Sky Demon, could have entered the Chaotic Star Sea, but she chose not to. That’s because she didn’t like to be second to anyone; she’d rather be a major demon on the Tenglong Continent than seek the genius treasures of the Chaotic Star Sea.

Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

And now, her moment to rise to the heavens had arrived.

The smile on Lady Yan Ji’s face grew ever more radiant.

And at this moment—

Groans and screams of agony came from behind her. Having resisted for a long time, True Master Yue Yan and True Master Shui Rou finally could no longer withstand the Heavenly Demon Blood Cloud. As the Blood Cloud neared their bodies, despite the energy within them to fend it off, their bodies still began to rot slowly.

The pain was heart-wrenching.

"You... all of you will die," Lady Yan Ji seemed to relish hearing those screams, then stretched out her jade-like hand, and in an instant, that hand turned into lightning, striking towards Elder Qian Xu.

Outside the main hall.

Yan Mo, Yida, and a group of others witnessed this scene and sighed inwardly.

Yet they also saw that Lady Yan Ji was seriously injured. Even so, as a Fourth Tribulation Independent Demon equivalent to a First Level Heavenly Demon, even a single Heavenly Demon Blood Cloud could kill them, given the vast difference in power.

"Boom!" The air exploded, and three yellow figures shot towards them at an extreme speed, so quickly that the air within the great hall exploded.

"What!" Lady Yan Ji turned her head, her face changing drastically.

The three yellow figures, in the process of shooting forward, suddenly transformed into three Azure Dragons over a hundred meters long. The three Azure Dragons let out deafening roars, and it seemed as if the air itself rippled at that moment.

"Ah!"

Lady Yan Ji clenched her silver teeth tightly, and her palms, like white bones, struck towards the Azure Dragon that was attacking.

However, the three Azure Dragons suddenly intertwined with each other, and as they simultaneously opened their mouths, three green Dragon-shaped Energy shots were fired, and at the same moment, three golden orbs also shot out from within their bodies, intertwining and spinning around each other.

The three Dragon-shaped Energy shots swirled around the three golden orbs, and then they converged into a small green dragon, resembling a real dragon.

The small green dragon rushed towards Lady Yan Ji. What sounded slow was, in fact, the work of a blinking eye.

Lady Yan Ji’s face changed color, and she promptly dodged, but the small green dragon, as if possessing its own intelligence, curved and struck Lady Yan Ji.

An explosion resounded!

The booming noise was still reverberating within the great hall, while Lady Yan Ji herself was sent flying, coughing up blood. In midair, Lady Yan Ji rolled and landed on the other side of the main hall.

The Heavenly Demon Blood Cloud, which had enveloped True Masters Yue Yan and Shui Rou, also left them and gathered inside Lady Yan Ji’s body.

Only after absorbing the energy within the Heavenly Demon Blood Cloud did Lady Yan Ji’s injuries stabilize.

"Good, good," Lady Yan Ji gasped as she looked at the three men in yellow before her, "I thought I hid myself well enough, but I didn’t expect the Dragon Clan to be even better at concealment, so much so that I didn’t detect a thing."

Green Dragon Yan Lang now entered the great hall calmly, smiling, "Lady Yan Ji, if you had been able to discern the true form from the illusion of my three uncles, that would have been truly strange."

Lady Yan Ji’s gaze was sharp, and she chuckled lightly, "If I’m not mistaken, those three golden orbs should be the Dragons’ famed treasure for concealment—the Illusion Dragon Pearl."

True Master Yue Yan laughed brazenly, "Yan Ji, looks like you’ve had a taste of your own medicine, haha..."

It was fortunate that Lady Yan Ji recalled the Heavenly Demon Blood Cloud; otherwise, True Masters Yue Yan and Shui Rou would have lost their lives. Yet even so, their physical bodies were ruined, and they were keeping themselves alive with their Nascent Souls, now reconstructing their bodies.

"If you choose not to believe it, so be it, I can still kill you," Yan Ji said coldly.

The leader among the three men in yellow stepped forward, "Let’s not waste any more time, I’ll introduce ourselves. I am Yan Lanshan, and these two are my brothers. I’ll make it clear to you all; this Immortal Mansion palace now belongs to the Dragon Clan."

"Yan Lang, refine the Township Stele," commanded Yan Lanshan.

"Yes," Green Dragon Yan Lang immediately proceeded towards the Township Stele.

"The Illusion Dragon Pearl, not only can it conceal one’s aura, but it can also mimic the aura and energy of other powerful or weaker beings; indeed, it is a treasured artifact for disguise. Three Illusion Dragon Pearls, hiding three Divine Beasts at the Late Tribulation Crossing stage; the Dragon Clan really went all out this time," Elder Qian Xu slowly stood up and commented.

Then Lady Yan Ji said, "Large? Qian Xu, don’t you know the power of the Dragon Clan? For an ordinary Immortal Mansion, they don’t care. If they did care, they wouldn’t send three Azure Dragons at the Late Tribulation Crossing stage, but Sixth Tribulation Independent Demons, or even more powerful ones."

The Dragon Clan’s power is formidable; even on the Tenglong Continent, the Dragon Clan is an extremely fearsome group. Among the sea’s Demon Beasts, the Dragon Clan is undoubtedly supreme.

Even within the Dragon Clan, any family clan that emerges is an immensely powerful force.

"Indeed, the Clan Leader and Elders were mistaken this time. If they had known that the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion was made entirely of such high-quality Primordial Spirit Stone, perhaps we would have seen the Elders, those at the Great Success Stage, coming, rather than us three Azure Dragons on the verge of reaching the Great Success Stage," Yan Lanshan said with a smile.

Three Divine Beasts at the Late Tribulation Crossing stage, which are even stronger than the average Great Success Stage Cultivators.

Even if the three Azure Dragons did not cooperate, they would absolutely keep up with three Third Tribulation Independent Immortals.

The most important thing was... these three Azure Dragons, not only were they in the Late Tribulation Crossing stage, but they were also brothers from the same clan. No one would believe that they didn’t have a Joint Attack Formation. The strike that just now severely wounded Lady Yan Ji was clearly some sort of Joint Attack Formation.

Especially since they had... the Illusion Dragon Pearls.

Not only could the Illusion Dragon Pearls disguise identities, but they were also weapons of attack, at least against a heavily injured Fourth Tribulation Independent Demon, it would be a piece of cake.

Right now, however, Lady Yan Ji’s mind was racing, considering the three late-stage Tribulation Crossing Azure Dragons, and the fact that they had three Illusion Dragon Pearls, if they were to target her, she truly would not have much resistance. If she had not been injured, and the other Independent Immortals were also well, they could have easily defeated the three Azure Dragons together.

Unfortunately, everyone was heavily injured.

"I want to kill me," Lady Yan Ji’s face bore a trace of coldness, even if she was to be killed, she would ensure that two would accompany her on the road to death.

"Yan Ji, don’t threaten us with Self-Destruction," Yan Lanshan said with a smile, "You are a Four Tribulations Sky Demon, if you’re desperate enough to Self-Destruct and unleash the Heavenly Demon Blood Cloud, you might indeed heavily injure the three of us brothers. But with the Illusion Dragon Pearls in hand, you absolutely cannot kill us."

Lady Yan Ji’s pupils constricted, the Dragon Clan man before her seemed to see right through her.

"Elder Qian Xu, Lady Yan Ji, True Master Yue Yan, True Master Shui Rou, don’t worry, our Dragon Clan will not kill you all. Once Yan Lang refines the Township Stele, we will send you away directly," Yan Lanshan spoke candidly.

His meaning was clear, once Yan Lang had refined the Township Stele, he could naturally control the entire Immortal Mansion and thus could send everyone away.

"Hmph, once you’ve refined the Township Stele, what if you use the Immortal Mansion’s Restrictions to kill us?" Elder Qian Xu barked.

Lady Yan Ji and the others also looked toward Yan Lanshan; they still had the power to fight now, but if the Immortal Mansion’s Restrictions were controlled, they estimated they wouldn’t even have the strength to fight back.

"Ha ha..." Yan Lanshan laughed heartily, "Would our Dragon Clan deceive you? Have you ever heard of the Dragon Clan deceiving you? Huh?"

A wave of relief washed over Lady Yan Ji and the others.

The Dragon Clan, a Divine Beast group, prided themselves in their dignity, and among all Divine Beast groups, the especially powerful Dragon Clan prided themselves even more. Sometimes, their beliefs were more important than life itself in their hearts. To make a member of the Dragon Clan go back on their word was indeed difficult.

"Letting them go, aren’t you afraid of releasing the tiger back into the forest?" Yida stepped in along with Yan Mo at this moment.

"Releasing the tiger back into the forest, ha ha..." Yan Lanshan, Yan Lanxu, and Yan Lanlei all burst out laughing.

Yan Mo then said, "Yida, the Dragon Clan’s power is beyond what you can imagine. Even if the Yin Yue Palace, Qingxu Temple, Lanyang Sect, Purple Sun Sect joined forces, they probably wouldn’t be a match for a single Dragon Clan family, let alone the entire Dragon Clan."

The Dragon Clan afraid of people?

That would truly be the biggest joke.

Lady Yan Ji, Elder Qian Xu, and the others could not help feeling a bit embarrassed; even with the loss of face, they had to admit, the Dragon Clan’s strength was indeed excessively powerful. The combined might of several major sects still wouldn’t be enough to fill the gap between their teeth.

Releasing the tiger back into the forest?

In front of the Dragon Clan, did they dare to call themselves tigers?

"Probably thousands upon thousands, all the Cultivator sects put together, and all of their sect members who entered the Chaotic Star Sea as scattered immortals, probably they only then could compare with our Dragon Clan," Yan Lanshan said indifferently.

...

Inside a bedroom of the Qingyu Immortal Mansion.

Qin Yu and Li’er were watching everything happening in the main hall through the reflective surface.

"Are the Dragon Clan really so formidable?" Qin Yu, having heard what Yan Lanshan said, was also startled.

Li’er nodded, "The Dragon Clan truly is formidable, and what makes them victorious is their extremely large numbers. Being Divine Beasts, other Divine Beasts are usually in very limited numbers, even those in larger numbers could not possibly be as numerous as the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Clan alone indeed exceeds the total of the Cultivators on Tenglong Continent unless all the Independent Immortals from the Chaotic Star Sea turn back."

"Big Brother Qin Yu, from what I know, the strength of the Dragon Clan... anyway, they are very strong," Li’er seemed to recall something and exclaimed.

To the north of the Chaotic Star Sea, there were only a few from the Dragon Clan, but in the seas south of the Chaotic Star Sea, even within the Chaotic Star Sea itself, there were numerous Dragon Clan members. A vast group of Divine Beasts, united as one, couldn’t help but be formidable.

...

Inside the main hall.

"Yan Lang, what’s going on, why haven’t you refined it successfully yet?" Yan Lanshan frowned and asked the Green Dragon Yan Lang.

Green Dragon Yan Lang replied helplessly, "Refining the Township Stele is a bit tricky, just wait a little longer." Once Green Dragon Yan Lang finished speaking, he focused again on refining the Township Stele. However, just as Green Dragon Yan Lang’s voice fell for a moment—

"What’s happening, what’s going on?" Green Dragon Yan Lang cried out in surprise.

Yan Lanshan, Yan Lanxu, and the three brothers, Lady Yan Ji, Qingxu Daoist, and the others, all witnessed a surprising sight. The Township Stele that stood upon the surface formed by the Primordial Spirit Stone was now slowly sinking.

It was as if the surface made from the Primordial Spirit Stone was water.

And so down it went.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Uncles, I haven’t finished refining it yet, I was so close!" Green Dragon Yan Lang was almost frantic, the Yan Family had put in so much effort, and then they had discovered such a precious Immortal Mansion palace, but in the end, he had not succeeded in refining it.

It felt like having piles of Gold Ingots before him, but he dozed off, and when he woke up to grab the Gold Ingots, they were gone.

"This..."

Yan Lanshan and his brothers, at this moment, had no idea what to say. Cry, laugh? They were utterly frustrated and nearly driven to a murderous rage!

Meanwhile—

Looking at everything through the mirror, Qin Yu, however, revealed a mocking smile.
