Stellar Transformation-Chapter 517: Episode 15 - 26 Divine Sword ‘Red Blood’
The cover enveloped all four palaces, and even the area within ten miles around the palaces was under its coverage, with black Divine Fire rising from the black cover, numerous flames like venomous snakes attacking the four palaces and the people inside.
About a thousand people were covered, among them were the three Heavenly Gods.
All of these thousands of people struggled to withstand the Divine Fire, each frantically looking for a way out of this ’Trap Array’, and with the strength of these Divine Beings, they could hold out for a while amidst the Divine Fire.
Mei Ji, Daoist Liu Xu, and Xiong Hei were together.
"In this Formation, flames surround us from all directions, and this Divine Fire, its color is so intense," Mei Ji frowned, her body enveloped by a layer of green Heavenly God Power.
Under the protection of Heavenly God Power, the Divine Fire couldn’t harm her. Daoist Liu Xu and Xiong Hei were similarly protected.
"The Divine World has many Heavenly Gods skilled in using flames for attacks, and this Qin Yu relies on a Formation to release so much Divine Fire, and seeing its deep black color, its power is also immensely strong," Daoist Liu Xu remarked with a sigh.
Black Divine Fire, indeed, has varying strengths, but would the True Fire inside an Upper Level Divine Being and a Lower Level Divine Being be the same?
Blackness also varies in intensity, including gray (light black), black, and deep black.
"Liu Xu, stop talking and quickly break this Formation so we can get out," Xiong Hei said discontentedly.
Daoist Liu Xu was known as the foremost expert in Black Dragon Pond’s Formation, and he shook his head and said, "To break this Formation, I need at least half an hour to closely observe it, but just to exit the Formation shouldn’t be difficult."
"Then let’s quickly exit the Formation," Xiong Hei directly ordered, indifferent to the lives or deaths of the other thousands of people.
To Black Dragon Pond, the loss of thousands of people was insignificant. What Xiong Hei currently wanted most was to get out of this huge Formation and then go kill Qin Yu.
"Alright, now I just... Scatter!" Suddenly, Daoist Liu Xu’s expression changed. Not only him, but Mei Ji and Xiong Hei also looked alarmed and hastily dodged away.
They saw two human-sized White Pure Fire fireballs shooting towards them at high speed. The three had just managed to dodge when the two white fireballs, having brushed past them, disappeared into the countless black Divine Flames after flying several meters.
"It’s White Pure Fire, last time at Mini Mountain, that Qin Yu also attacked me with White Pure Fire; Qin Yu is extremely skilled in manipulating flames, quick, let’s go," Xiong Hei was somewhat urgent.
Mei Ji also anxiously looked towards Daoist Liu Xu, "Brother Liu, quickly take us out of this Formation, the power of this White Pure Fire is too great."
Within the Formation, black Divine Fire covered every area, and even the White Pure Fire could only be barely seen when it flew close within several meters, and a moment’s carelessness could result in being burned by the White Pure Fire.
"Alright, just give me a moment," Daoist Liu Xu also took a deep breath, then formed several Seal Techniques in a row, and suddenly Talismanic Seals appeared on the black cover, which Daoist Liu Xu then carefully observed.
Mei Ji and Xiong Hei dared not urge or disturb Daoist Liu Xu, anxiously waiting instead.
"All set, remember, follow me closely," Daoist Liu Xu said as the space around him twisted, forming ripples within a ten-meter radius.
Mei Ji and Xiong Hei followed closely behind Daoist Liu Xu, and the trio rapidly advanced, with Daoist Liu Xu occasionally releasing a few Divine Seals to check around.
"Boom~~~~"
The most defensively robust of the last palaces, the ’Black Dragon Palace’, now also collapsed thunderously, completely broken through by the black Divine Fire’s scorching, turning the Black Dragon Palace’s black pillars and gold steps... to ashes under the Divine Fire.
And the three palaces, including Xiong Ba Hall, were burned to the ground by Divine Fire right from the start.
In the midst of the Black Divine Fire, over a thousand people were struggling. As for the Intermediate and Lower Level Divine Beings, they only lasted a moment before being incinerated to ashes. The Upper Level Divine Beings held on longer. Although their Divine Power was being drained rapidly, their bodies were formidable. Yet, as time elapsed, they eventually could no longer withstand the fire.
"Ah~~~" After enduring for a long time and having completely exhausted his Divine Power, an Upper Level Divine Being’s body was scorched by the Black Divine Fire for the duration of a cup of tea before he finally gave in.
His body, like sun-baked, cracked stone, split open, blood oozing out as the black flames surged into him. His organs were instantly turned to ash, and his head was burned severely.
"Brother Yang!"
A middle-aged man in black robes next to him yelled in grief and anger. Dark golden Divine Power surged within him, trying to fend off the Divine Fire, but the relentless burning of the Black Divine Fire was too much. Even with his strength at the peak of an Upper Level Divine Being, his Divine Power was nearly depleted.
Crossing God Tribulation involved resisting the Divine Fire for just a few breaths, and back then, the Divine Fire was not as potent.
Now, it had already been burning for half an hour, and the power of the Divine Fire was much greater... Even Upper Level Divine Beings couldn’t endure such prolonged scorching.
"Brother Yang, Lord Black Dragon has actually abandoned us." The middle-aged man felt a surge of grief and fury in his heart, knowing he couldn’t hold on much longer.
On his deathbed, he vividly recalled the days he and Brother Yang spent at Black Dragon Pond, killing and robbing, plundering treasures from Ascenders...
"Brother Yang, usually it’s us doing the killing, plundering others’ belongings. Who would have thought that today we would end up being burned alive." The middle-aged man sighed deeply. Just then, a burst of White Pure Fire shot swiftly from behind.
The middle-aged man had no time to dodge, and his head was vaporized by the White Pure Fire instantly.
...
In the entire array, apart from the omnipresent Black Divine Fire, there was a very small amount of White Pure Fire. When Daoist Liu Xu, along with Mei Ji and Xiong Hei, escaped the array, it was estimated that fewer than one hundred people were still alive in the entire array.
There were screams and heart-wrenching curses everywhere.
Some cursed the heavens, some cursed the one who set up the array, some cursed Xiong Hei... Most of these people didn’t even know Qin Yu’s name; they could only curse ’the bastard who set up the array’.
The moment Xiong Hei, Liu Xu, and Mei Ji stepped out of the array, feeling the cool breeze of the canyon, they felt a wave of relief wash over them.
"Xiong Hei, you son of a bitch!"
Back in the array, the harsh cursing continued, though fewer people were left to shout. However, there were still some.
Xiong Hei glanced back at the barrier filled with Black Divine Fire and snorted coldly, "If they didn’t have the strength to escape, then let them die, it’s none of my concern." He didn’t care about those people at all.
Suddenly, Xiong Hei turned his head, looking in the direction where Qin Yu had been earlier. Mei Ji and Liu Xu also looked in that direction.
At that moment, Qin Yu was standing in midair, his black robe fluttering in the wind.
"Xiong Hei, listen to me, I spared your life last time in the Trap Array. Not only did you not appreciate it, but you dared to set my Mini Mountain on fire. I came today to let you know that if I could trap you once, I could trap you again. And... if I can trap you, I can also kill you!"
Qin Yu’s gaze was piercingly cold.
"Qin Yu, huh, you released me, and you expect me to be grateful to you? Haha, you fool, as long as I catch you, I will surely kill you," Xiong Hei roared with laughter.
In his heart, Qin Yu sneered. Did Xiong Hei really think he was incapable of capturing and killing him again?
Immediately, Qin Yu pointed to a Killing Array below that covered an area of a mile, "You’ve seen this Killing Array before; it’s the Fire Attribute Killing Array from Mini Mountain last time. I have already improved this Array. If you dare, try to break through it again."
Saying this, Qin Yu had already flown into the Array. As Qin Yu entered, the Array’s attack did not activate.
The time Xiong Hei and the others were trapped just now was enough for Qin Yu to set up this Killing Array. Setting up the Array a second time was much quicker.
"If you dare, come in. I’ll be waiting for you in this great Array," Qin Yu said with a faint smile.
Xiong Hei squinted at the grand Array in front of him. Daoist Liu Xu hastily said, "Lord Xiong Hei, this Array is a Fire Attribute attack Array. Its attack power is definitely much stronger than the Trap Array we just faced. It should be entirely composed of White Pure Fire inside."
"I know, I tasted it last time," Xiong Hei growled. He still remembered the scene where he was surrounded by White Pure Fire in all directions. If it weren’t for the Array’s last-minute malfunction and collapse, he might have lost his life earlier.
Having been at a disadvantage once, how could Xiong Hei dare to enter again?
From within the Array, Qin Yu just watched Xiong Hei. Qin Yu had already guessed... Xiong Hei probably didn’t dare to break through the Array again. Setting up this Array was just to shock Black Dragon Pond.
"Qin Yu, if you dare, come out and fight me to the death!" Xiong Hei roared, holding the Wolf Fang Club in one hand. At the same time, he sent a mental message to Daoist Liu Xu and Mei Ji, "Liu Xu, Mei Ji, when Qin Yu leaves the Array and fights me, you two seize the opportunity to surround him and kill him together."
One-on-one?
Xiong Hei had already tried. Given the flexibility of Qin Yu’s flying, Xiong Hei couldn’t catch up at all. Even if Qin Yu didn’t attack him, Xiong Hei would probably end up trapped by the Array.
Thus, they had to attack as three! 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Don’t worry, Lord Xiong Hei. We will definitely seize the opportunity to encircle and kill him," Daoist Liu Xu sent a mental message, and Mei Ji agreed, "Brother Xiong, my ’Poison Soul Hook’ is not for show."
Xiong Hei, with a face full of confidence, yelled at Qin Yu, "Qin Yu, what’s the matter, don’t you dare to come out?"
Smiling, Qin Yu flew out of the Array, stretching out one hand, in which a red long sword appeared. Qin Yu’s fingertip released a drop of fresh blood, which directly fell on the red sword.
Originally, in the Mishen Palace Artifact Hall, Qin Yu obtained sixty-eight Heavenly Divine Artifacts, and in the courtyard of the Mishen Palace, he also got a row of Low Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts. Among them, the Heavenly Divine Artifacts from the Artifact Hall had stronger attack power, and among these sixty-eight Heavenly Divine Artifacts, four were Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts.
Among the four Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts, one was a sword-like Heavenly Divine Artifact, named ’Red Blood.’
The Red Blood Divine Sword, entirely red, is a Fire Attribute Divine Sword with a ’Sharpness’ special effect.
Such special effects are generally found in Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts, and a few Middle Grade ones might have them too. The different special effects also determine the power of the Heavenly Divine Artifacts. The ’Sharpness’ effect is considered quite good.
And the Residual Snow Divine Spear is more powerful, with two special effects—’Shattering Body, Soul Devouring.’ Soul Devouring is something generally only powerful Spiritual Treasures possess.
"Do you have a Heavenly Divine Artifact?" Xiong Hei exclaimed, his eyes widening as he looked at the Red Blood Divine Sword in Qin Yu’s hand.
Qin Yu smiled and nodded, "This sword is a Heavenly Divine Artifact, named ’Red Blood.’ Xiong Hei, the last time I fought you, it was just to test the Array. Since you want to fight to the death, I will also use a Heavenly Divine Artifact, giving you enough respect."
Qin Yu dared not mention that the Red Blood Divine Sword was an "Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact," fearing that Xiong Hei would be frightened away. Possessing such a powerful weapon was enough to fight beyond one’s level.
"Brother Xiong, be careful." Mei Ji and Liu Xu both became tense, a stark contrast to their earlier ease.
In Black Dragon Pond Canyon, only Lord Black Dragon and Xiong Hei possessed Heavenly Divine Artifacts. Xiong Hei’s Divine Artifact was bestowed by Lord Black Dragon, while Mei Ji and Liu Xu did not possess any.
This highlighted the rarity of Heavenly Divine Artifacts!
Not to mention an Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact, which could rival the power of a Third-class Spiritual Treasure. Even the Eight Great Families, without sufficient strength and status, could not possess Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts.
"Scared?" Qin Yu asked with a light laugh.
At that moment, hundreds of thousands of spectators surrounded the canyon. More than half of the populace of Black Dragon Pond Canyon had gathered to watch the battle.
"Scared?" Xiong Hei sneered, "Come on!" Standing nearly three meters tall, Xiong Hei, holding the Wolf Fang Club, exuded an immense domineering aura.
Qin Yu glanced at Daoist Liu Xu, "I remember, you are called Daoist Liu Xu! Just now, you led Xiong Hei and Mei Ji out of the array I had set up. You must be well-versed in formations. Was it you who set up the Mini Mountain?"
"Exactly," Daoist Liu Xu responded with a smile.
"Enough talk," Xiong Hei roared, charging through the air like thunder, swinging his club straight towards Qin Yu.
Qin Yu effortlessly displayed his movement technique, gracefully arcing through the air, the elegance and agility of his movements drawing cheers from the spectators. By then, he had already reached the airspace above Mei Ji and Daoist Liu Xu.
Mei Ji and Daoist Liu Xu exchanged glances and communicated through Divine Sense, "Good opportunity!"
At that moment, Xiong Hei roared angrily, his presence seeming to tear space apart as he charged at Qin Yu again, the cold light flashing from the Wolf Fang Club smashing straight down towards Qin Yu.
Mei Ji and Daoist Liu Xu simultaneously soared skyward.
"Wow!" The watching crowd of hundreds of thousands erupted into noise. Were three attacking one?
As Qin Yu’s Divine Sense caught this scene, a smile appeared on his face. He swiftly retreated, the Red Blood Divine Sword in his hands sweeping through the air like a cascade, sending countless sword shadows slashing across the path of the oncoming Wolf Fang Club.
"Break!" Qin Yu uttered.
Xiong Hei’s face immediately turned as pale as paper.
The nearly four-meter-long giant Wolf Fang Club split in two from the strike, and the nearly one-meter-long severed end dropped from the sky, crashing onto the ground with a loud "thud."
The entire crowd watching in Black Dragon Pond Canyon fell completely silent.
