Stellar Transformation-Chapter 529: Episode 15 - 38 Residual Snow Divine Spear (Requesting monthly tickets~~)
Three avatars self-destructed, adding to the initial two that had self-destructed earlier, making a total of five destroyed avatars for Tan Jiu, who now was left with only four. These four ’Tan Jius’ were all staring intently at the source of the explosion.
At the same time, the space domain also covered the entire courtyard.
Suddenly, all the rolling stones or those falling from above in the courtyard halted, leaving the entire courtyard in a state of stillness. Tan Jiu’s four major avatars furrowed their brows for a moment, and then slowly, a slight smile appeared on their faces.
"Liu Yuxi, you’re finally dead!"
First, they inflicted serious injuries through a stealth attack, and then added the self-destruction of five avatars, which finally killed Liu Yuxi, known for his amazing defensive abilities. The moment Liu Yuxi was killed, Tan Jiu felt a mixture of relief and sadness.
The four avatars instantly merged into one.
Tan Jiu walked over to the site of Liu Yuxi’s explosion, where the ground now bore a damaged Battle Armor, a storage divine artifact, and a pair of middle-grade heavenly divine artifact gloves.
These were Liu Yuxi’s relics, and it was the discovery of these relics, along with the fact that Liu Yuxi had already burned his Soul Nascent Soul, that made him absolutely sure Liu Yuxi was dead. Burning the Soul Nascent Soul meant that even without external attacks, he probably would have only a few breaths worth of life left.
Qin Yu’s space power from the ’Qiankun World’ constantly locked onto Tan Jiu.
"It must be a lethal strike, this Tan Jiu has not yet completely lost his guard, and it is not the best moment for a stealth attack. When he goes to pick the Nine-leaf Lotus, that will be the best time to strike."
Qin Yu slightly arched his body, his entire being intensely focused, ready to deliver his strongest strike at any moment!
...
Tan Jiu gathered Liu Yuxi’s relics, feeling a surge of exhilaration in his heart. By killing Liu Yuxi, he not only acquired a middle-grade heavenly divine artifact but also all of Liu Yuxi’s treasures, and, importantly... the Nine-leaf Lotus was now completely his.
Tan Jiu walked toward the pond where the Nine-leaf Lotus was.
The fierce skirmish just now had not affected the Nine-leaf Lotus at all, which still emitted a faint black glow, especially the crystal-clear Black Lotus Heart, which was so captivating.
Tan Jiu stepped into the water of the pond. Although the One-element Heavy Water was powerful, it could not kill a Heavenly God-level master.
"This One-element Heavy Water is really quite cold!" Tan Jiu shivered all over.
Then Tan Jiu reached both hands into the bottom of the pond. He needed to uproot the Nine-leaf Lotus from the bottom, as he dared not, nor was willing to, pluck it by the leaves.
And at that moment, all of Tan Jiu’s attention was on the Nine-leaf Lotus.
"Now is the moment!"
Suddenly, a long spear appeared in Qin Yu’s hands. The originally dark and ancient Residual Snow Divine Spear now had a faint Xuanhuang hue on its shaft and tip; it was very subtle, just like tiny specks.
Residual Snow Divine Spear, with a slight absorption of Xuanhuang energy!
Instantaneous Movement!
Behind Tan Jiu, who was now bent over with both hands in the One-element Heavy Water pond, Qin Yu suddenly appeared. The Residual Snow Divine Spear flashed once, piercing through Tan Jiu’s head as easily as piercing leather.
Residual Snow Divine Spear’s two major functions: Body Splitting, Soul Devouring!
"Bang!"
Tan Jiu’s head instantly turned into powder, and his body split into seven or eight pieces. Yet, those seven or eight pieces suddenly transformed into three ’Tan Jius’.
Qin Yu was shocked, "How is he not dead? His head completely turned into powder, and his soul completely scattered. How can there still be three avatars?"
Qin Yu’s heart trembled in shock, and Tan Jiu was even more startled.
Tan Jiu had never imagined that someone could blow his head off without him noticing.
"It’s Near and Far, it’s that Qin Yu!" Tan Jiu immediately realized, "Fortunately, when I’m not fighting, I always divide my soul into nine parts, scattered throughout my body."
Tan Jiu was very cunning, his soul could be divided into nine parts, with only one soul fragment in his head at any time, the rest—be it in his Dan Zhong, Dantian, or arms—were hidden in various places.
This was Tan Jiu’s method to prevent being assassinated. This time, this tactic saved his life, as Qin Yu had only destroyed one of his soul fragments and its corresponding ’Green Blood Golden Core’ (As divine power transforms into Heavenly God Power, it forms a green-tinted golden core called ’Green Blood Golden Core’. The Green Blood Golden Core is the core of the ’Heavenly God Power’).
The Soul Nascent Soul is the core of the soul, and the Green Blood Golden Core is the core of the Heavenly God Power.
In the minds of Heavenly God masters, it is usual for the Soul Nascent Soul to be holding the Green Blood Golden Core.
******
Qin Yu glanced briefly at the three clones, each holding a three-section stick. These three-section sticks were actually divided from the Nine-Section Whip. Even Qin Yu had to admit that the craftsmanship of the Nine-Section Whip was very high.
"Qin Yu, you actually ambushed and killed one of my clones, but you won’t have another chance. I didn’t kill you last time, but this time ..." one of the clones said with a cold laugh.
At this moment, Tan Jiu was still full of confidence in killing Qin Yu.
In Tan Jiu’s mind, Qin Yu was merely a Lower Heavenly God, relying solely on the divine skill ’Near and Far.’ Once he, Tan Jiu, made his full effort, Qin Yu would undoubtedly die.
"Three, I must kill them all, let not one escape," Qin Yu thought urgently.
"Hmm, you’re actually not using that Heavenly Divine Sword anymore," said the Tan Jiu on Qin Yu’s left, furrowing his brows. And at that moment—
Qin Yu’s figure abruptly appeared beside the Tan Jiu on the right.
His right arm shook, and he thrust the Residual Snow Divine Spear he held, which even caused hair-like spatial cracks in the space of the Divine World as it spun through the air.
"Hmph!"
The Tan Jiu on the right confidently used the three-section stick in his hand to block Qin Yu’s spear. In Tan Jiu’s eyes, his Middle Level Heavenly Divine Weapon was enough to withstand Qin Yu’s Upper Heavenly Divine Weapon.
However—
Tan Jiu’s expression suddenly changed, only to see the three-section stick tremble and then split apart, the long spear piercing through his neck in his astonishment.
"Split!"
Qin Yu roared furiously.
Tan Jiu only felt an odd force spreading from the wound on his neck outward, then his head and chest completely disintegrated into dust! The Soul Nascent Soul and the Green Blood Golden Core also turned to dust.
The other two Tan Jius went pale, their eyes bulging with fear.
Their first reaction was to flee!
The two Tan Jius, one dashed towards the entrance of the corridor, and the other in the opposite direction—that is, towards the inner rooms of the Underground Mansion.
"What kind of weapon is that, not an Upper Heavenly Divine Artifact, even more powerful?" Tan Jiu felt his heart tremble, "Could it be the legendary Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure?"
Tan Jiu was filled with terror.
The grand name of the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure was unknown to most divine beings, but Tan Jiu, a Middle Grade Heavenly God, had heard of it, though he had never seen one. Or perhaps... even if he had seen one, he wouldn’t have recognized it.
"Thinking of running?"
Seeing the two ’Tan Jius’ fleeing in opposite directions, Qin Yu made his decision instantly—to chase after the Tan Jiu heading towards the entrance of the escape route.
In Qin Yu’s view, the Tan Jiu escaping through the underground mansion needed at least a little time to open a passage, and this time would be enough for him to kill the other Tan Jiu.
Instantaneous Movement!
Instantaneous Movement!
After two consecutive uses of Instantaneous Movement, Qin Yu was inside the passageway, just in time to block Tan Jiu.
"Heh!" Tan Jiu’s first reaction upon seeing Qin Yu was to expand his Space Domain and then swing his stick at Qin Yu.
"Hiss~~~"
The Residual Snow Divine Spear rapidly spun and thrust out like a flood dragon emerging from the sea, its tip tinged with a hint of Xuanhuang color, breaking through the Space Domain that failed to block the Residual Snow Divine Spear.
When the attack is strong enough, the Space Domain is useless.
After all, the Residual Snow Divine Spear had now reached the capability of causing tiny space cracks.
"Boom!" The three-section stick was once again forcefully shattered by the Residual Snow Divine Spear, directly targeting Tan Jiu’s neck. Knowing he couldn’t block it, Tan Jiu immediately had his Soul Nascent Soul and Green Blood Golden Core escape his body, but—
A sweep of the Residual Snow Divine Spear in Qin Yu’s hand brought forth a faint Xuanhuang energy from the spear tip, enveloping both the Soul Nascent Soul and the Green Blood Golden Core, instantly grinding them to dust.
"There’s another one!"
Qin Yu paid no attention to the corpse before him, and his body underwent Instantaneous Movement again!
After moving instantaneously twice, he had reached the interior of the underground mansion. The Space Power of Qin Yu’s ’Qiankun World’ spread out. Three lightning-fast movements later, he had searched the underground mansion only to realize something was wrong.
The moment Qin Yu acted, he reached a study behind the underground mansion.
At that moment, there was unexpectedly a passage on the wall of the study.
A rush of frustration surged through Qin Yu’s mind, "Mistake, a mistake. How could Tan Jiu, who has been in the underground mansion for who knows how many years, have only one passage? Although it was a short time, with his speed, he must already be dozens of miles away. My Space Power can only search within a hundred meters or so, without a definite direction, how can I find him?"
Qin Yu was out of ideas.
It was helpless; the study was situated at the very end of the underground mansion, far from where Qin Yu was originally hiding, and Qin Yu had never discovered this secret passage here.
All efforts wasted, he had allowed one clone to escape.
"Forget it, let’s say Tan Jiu is lucky. But what about it if he escapes?" Qin Yu wasn’t too concerned at heart, "Though he discovered my ’Instantaneous Movement’ secret, who would believe him if he talked about it?"
Instantaneous Movement is a divine skill unique to the Divine King, a steadfast rule of the Divine World for 1.2 quintillion years.
Even if Tan Jiu claimed outside that someone possessed a divine skill similar to Instantaneous Movement, how many in the Divine World would believe him?
Qin Yu knew in his heart that although not many would believe, it would still be quite troublesome, but since the man had already escaped, Qin Yu could only comfort himself this way.
With a flash, Qin Yu was in the courtyard.
Looking at the Nine-leaf Lotus in the One-element Heavy Water pond before him, Qin Yu’s face broke into a slight smile, "For the Nine-leaf Lotus, a Middle Level Heavenly God has fallen, and another has lost eight of his nine clones."
Qin Yu glanced at the Nine-leaf Lotus, then his eyes shifted to the Residual Snow Divine Spear in his hand.
Although he had anticipated the power of the Residual Snow Divine Spear, using it for real still filled Qin Yu’s heart with wild joy.
A Middle Level Heavenly God used a Middle Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact, while he wielded the Residual Snow Divine Spear with Divine Power. Even so, the Residual Snow Divine Spear still broke the opponent’s Middle Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact.
"It was already comparable to a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, and now its power has increased significantly. I estimate that even if it’s not as powerful as a First-class Spiritual Treasure, it’s not far off," Qin Yu thought to himself.
Moreover, the Residual Snow Divine Spear had only absorbed a very small amount of Xuanhuang Energy so far. Once it fully absorbed it, the extent of its power was exciting just to think about.
"If I don’t use the Residual Snow Divine Spear and rely on the Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact ’Red Blood Divine Sword’ alone, killing Tan Jiu would be a dream. But with the Residual Snow Divine Spear, I can easily crush him. Good weapons really make a difference!"
Qin Yu increasingly appreciated the benefits of superb weapons.
With a thought, the Residual Snow Divine Spear returned to the Qiankun World to absorb more Xuanhuang Energy.
"The Residual Snow Divine Spear and Instantaneous Movement alike, shouldn’t be used until it’s absolutely necessary. The deeper the secret is hidden, the better the effect," Qin Yu thought to himself, then he looked back at the pond before him.
With just a thought, the Space Power of the Qiankun World enveloped both the pond and the Nine-leaf Lotus, and then—
The Nine-leaf Lotus and the pool of One-element Heavy Water both disappeared without a trace; they had moved to the Qiankun World, and Qin Yu himself also vanished from the underground mansion, entering the Qiankun World.
******
Qin Yu stood on a grassy field, with the One-element Heavy Water and the Nine-leaf Lotus floating before him. In the Qiankun World, everything changed according to Qin Yu’s will.
With a thought, the One-element Heavy Water separated from the Nine-leaf Lotus.
"The heart of the Nine-leaf Lotus, once refined, can produce a Lotus Heart Clone. The Lotus Heart Clone naturally possesses a One-element Heavy Water Domain... and its body’s resilience even surpasses that of Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts."
A wave of exhilaration swept through Qin Yu.
The most attractive part of the Nine-leaf Lotus was indeed its heart.
Creating a clone is difficult because a real clone needs to have a soul. How could ordinary people split their soul?
However, the heart of the Nine-leaf Lotus was different. This heart was nurtured by absorbing Hongmeng Spiritual Energy, making the entire heart in itself a soul body without consciousness. Once Qin Yu successfully refined it, simply by instilling a trace of his consciousness into it, he would gain a clone.
Moreover, in Qin Yu’s view, the combat power of that clone might even surpass that of his original body.
"Let’s merge this batch of One-element Heavy Water with the one from Dark Star," Qin Yu thought, and a ball of One-element Heavy Water floated in the air. Next to this water ball were Gold Element Heavy Water and a Golden Orb.
This Golden Orb was very special; at a level of coldness, Qin Yu estimated that unless one were a Soul Nascent Soul, it simply couldn’t be refined.
Just as Qin Yu was pondering—
"Hmm?" Qin Yu widened his eyes in surprise.
He saw the Golden Orb move on its own toward the Nine-leaf Lotus. At the same time, a black radiance shot from the Black Lotus Heart of the Nine-leaf Lotus and a golden radiance from the Golden Orb, and the two radiances entwined around each other...
