Stellar Transformation-Chapter 539: Episode 15 - 48 ’Qiankun’ Formation (Requesting monthly tickets~~~)
Qin Yu flew out of the Trap Array and while observing, his mind was still pondering the "Eighth Level Formation" he had just seen in the Golden Scroll.
"This Eighth Level Formation, how, how..." Qin Yu had an indescribable feeling about it.
It seemed very familiar to him.
Yes, familiar. Qin Yu felt as though there was a memory in his mind related to this Formation, yet no matter how hard he tried to think, he couldn’t recall when he had seen this Formation before.
While thinking about the Eighth Level Formation, his eyes caught sight of the large group of Heavenly God experts at the foot of the Mini Mountain.
"Hmm, Tan Jiu has also appeared." Qin Yu’s eyes lit up as he saw the black-skinned youth with red hair and eyebrows. Wasn’t that Tan Jiu? And at that moment, Tan Jiu was bowing respectfully to a scholar in blue.
"Tan Jiu is already considered among the peak strength of the Middle Level Heavenly Gods, so why is he showing such respect to that scholar in blue?" The scene Qin Yu witnessed was indeed surprising to him.
What kind of strength would it take for Tan Jiu to show such respect?
"Could it really be an Upper Heavenly God has arrived? This could be troublesome." Qin Yu’s brows furrowed, as he was no longer as relaxed as he was at the start.
******
Tan Jiu, Yigong Shu, Le Yuyao, Le Yurao, and Liu Bing, the five Middle Level Heavenly Gods, simultaneously bowed respectfully, "We pay our respects to Mr. Qiu Zhong."
Qiu Zhongfu was a very proud person. He did not like the common titles that bandits use to address their leaders, such as ’Boss’ or ’Big Brother’. Instead, he demanded to be addressed as ’Mr.’.
Qiu Zhongfu, dressed in a blue-green robe, had his two close attendants Jin Kong and Jin Long, brothers, by his side. Typically, wherever Qiu Zhongfu went, those two brothers would follow.
"Hmm." Qiu Zhongfu nodded lightly, "Later, I will break the Array and kill Qin Yu. If there is anything on Qin Yu I find uninteresting, I will give it to you, but I do not want you to act on your own and disrespect my orders. Understand?"
"Understood!" Even the likes of Yigong Shu and Tan Jiu responded with great respect, not daring to harbor any stray thoughts.
Qiu Zhongfu nodded slightly and then commanded, "Jin Kong, you take charge of the people here. Remember, how many Lower Heavenly Gods each Middle Level Heavenly God leads, arrange them according to their strength."
"Yes, sir." Jin Kong responded respectfully, then with a cold look turned towards the other Middle Level Heavenly Gods. "Le Yuyao, you will lead those six Lower Heavenly Gods." Jin Kong pointed with one hand, encircling six Lower Heavenly Gods with his Heavenly God Power.
"Yes." Le Yuyao smiled faintly and complied.
One order after another was passed down. The Heavenly Gods led by Le Yuyao, Le Yurao, and Liu Bing together amounted to nearly twenty, with the rest being under the command of Tan Jiu and Yigong Shu. Tan Jiu and the others, being very powerful, found it much easier to wield their Space Domains than the three women.
"Brother Jin Kong, are you not leading Lower Heavenly Gods as well?" Yigong Shu said with a smile.
Jin Kong and Jin Long always followed Qiu Zhongfu, naturally holding a higher status. However, neither of them was as strong as Yigong Shu, so they were quite courteous to him.
"Of course, we are leading. Our people are still behind, they fly much slower than us," said Jin Kong with a smile.
Yigong Shu and Tan Jiu cursed inwardly.
This Mr. Qiu Zhong, he simply rushed here and then had everyone follow his command, didn’t he? The purpose of Mr. Qiu Zhong was clear to everyone - he worried that Yigong Shu and others might get to the treasures first.
After a while, twenty-three Lower Heavenly Gods arrived from behind. These twenty-three Lower Heavenly Gods were the subordinates of Qiu Zhongfu.
Originally, Yigong Shu and others totalled fifty-six Heavenly Gods. Adding the newly arrived twenty-three, plus Qiu Zhongfu, Jin Kong, and Jin Long, there were altogether eighty-two Heavenly Gods.
Eighty-two Heavenly Gods were divided into seven groups, each led by one of the Middle Level Heavenly Gods.
Qiu Zhongfu, however, stood alone in the void, gazing towards the top of Mini Mountain.
"Jin Kong, your seven teams should join forces to break the Formation. If you encounter any that can’t be broken, come and tell me," Qiu Zhongfu ordered indifferently.
"Yes," Jin Kong, Jin Long, Tan Jiu, Yigong Shu, and others all bowed and complied. On the surface, everyone was very respectful. But in reality, Tan Jiu and Yigong Shu were fuming inside.
Who wouldn’t want Qin Yu’s treasures? Now, they were being used as cannon fodder. Not that they wanted to, but they had no choice. If they dared to defy Qiu Zhongfu, Tan Jiu and Yigong Shu had no doubt that Qiu Zhongfu would kill them on the spot.
The seven teams took off into the air simultaneously, each expanding their Space Domains.
Although everyone was holding back their strength, Tan Jiu and Yigong Shu’s Space Domains still spanned three to four hundred meters in diameter. The other five were around a hundred meters in diameter. When the groups worked together, common Illusion Arrays stood no chance of stopping them. As for attack formations, they couldn’t break through the Space Domains. The teams easily destroyed the surface of Mini Mountain, forcibly breaking the Array Bases with brute force.
One, two, three... In the blink of an eye, they had broken more than twenty arrays.
When they reached the thirtieth array, they finally stopped. Jin Kong turned towards Qiu Zhongfu, who was standing mid-air, and said, "My lord, this array is somewhat difficult to break."
It was a sizable Trap Array, a Third-level Peak Trapping Array to be precise. If Yigong Shu and Tan Jiu were to expend a great deal of effort, it wasn’t impossible to break. But at this moment, Yigong Shu and others certainly didn’t want to exert too much effort.
"Oh?" Qiu Zhongfu glanced at the Formation and said with an indifferent smile, "It’s just a minor array, step aside."
The many Heavenly Gods immediately moved far away. With just a few grasps in the air, Qiu Zhongfu caused several sections of space within the Third-level Peak Trap Array to completely shatter, and one of the Array’s bases was immediately broken.
A Trap Array with a broken Array Base had its power greatly reduced; even Middle Level Heavenly Gods could easily destroy it now.
"Continue," Qiu Zhongfu said coldly.
Tan Jiu and Yigong Shu felt a chill in their hearts. The range of Space Destruction wielded by Upper Heavenly Gods varied, and judging by the area instantly destroyed by Qiu Zhongfu, his power ranked quite highly among the Upper Heavenly Gods.
"Space Destruction? Indeed, he is an Upper Heavenly God." Qin Yu, hidden in the dense forests of Mini Mountain, quietly watched everything unfold.
Seeing how easily Qiu Zhongfu had destroyed small sections of space just now, any sliver of hope that Qin Yu had harbored vanished.
"If I were to rely on Instantaneous Movement and the Residual Snow Divine Spear to kill this Upper Heavenly God..." Qin Yu simulated the battle in his mind and, ultimately, shook his head, "No chance!"
Qin Yu was very clear that Upper Heavenly Gods were not only capable of ’Space Destruction’ but also ’Space Domain.’ Moreover, the binding force of their Space Domains was greater than that of the Space Domains cast by Middle Level Heavenly Gods.
Once trapped inside, the Residual Snow Divine Spear would be greatly hindered, and its speed would definitely not be fast enough.
Meanwhile, the opponent would be fully capable of counterattacking.
Although he could use Instantaneous Movement to evade, if he couldn’t kill the opponent, it wouldn’t be worth revealing his trump card.
Qin Yu, concealed amid the lush vegetation of the mountain forest, suddenly felt a gaze on him. Following the sensation, he saw that it was Qiu Zhongfu in the distant sky.
"Has he discovered me?" Qin Yu was startled.
"Qin Yu!"
The look in Qiu Zhongfu’s eyes turned icy. With a fierce shout that echoed like thousands of Divine Thunders in one’s ears, a domineering Divine Sense Attack surged directly towards Qin Yu’s mind.
Divine Sense Attack!
Qin Yu’s entire head was roaring, and at that moment, Qiu Zhongfu shot down as fast as lightning. Confidence filled Qiu Zhongfu’s eyes, "Just a Lower Heavenly God, once afflicted by my Divine Sense Attack, by the time they regain consciousness, they will already be in my grasp."
Divine Sense Attack is essentially an assault on each other’s soul power. If there is a significant disparity between their souls, a Divine Sense Attack can be a swift form of attack. However, if their strengths are almost equal, using Divine Sense Attack can result in mutual harm.
In Qiu Zhongfu’s view, as an Upper Heavenly God, attacking a Lower Heavenly God with his Divine Sense should at least leave the Lower Heavenly God dizzy for a good while.
Yet, Qin Yu was only momentarily shaken, as streaks of green light burst forth from the Meteor Tear, and in the blink of an eye, he had regained clarity.
"What a formidable Upper Heavenly God," Qin Yu inwardly sighed, his entire being then darted into the nearby Fourth Level Trapping Array as fast as lightning.
"Hmm?" Qiu Zhongfu was startled, "He recovered so quickly, could he be a Middle Level Heavenly God, and the intelligence gathered previously was mistaken?"
If there was only a one-level difference, the disparity wasn’t significant, and a Divine Sense Attack wouldn’t be of much use.
"You think hiding in the array will do you any good?" There was a trace of cold smile on Qiu Zhongfu’s face.
Within the Fourth Level Trapping Array.
Qin Yu was now faced with a choice: one, to fight it out with this Qiu Zhongfu; or two, to directly flee and hide inside the Qiankun World. Creating such a commotion this time, Qin Yu really didn’t want to end things so hastily.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
The sounds of explosions continued from the outside, Qin Yu knew that outside, various arrays were being broken one after another by the cooperation of the Middle Level Heavenly Gods. Against the likes of Tan Jiu and others, a Third-level Array Formation couldn’t hold out for long.
"Qin Yu, do you truly intend to hide within the array?" Qiu Zhongfu’s voice echoed, "I advise you to come out, otherwise, if you fall into a spatial rift, no one will be able to save you."
Inside the array, a cold smile also emerged on Qin Yu’s face.
"Let me go out?" Qin Yu fully understood Qiu Zhongfu’s thoughts—while he was in the array, this Qiu Zhongfu wouldn’t dare to forcefully use ’Space Destruction’ to demolish this Fourth-level Array.
Because Qiu Zhongfu understood that he didn’t know where within the Fourth-level Array Qin Yu was located. If he accidentally destroyed the area Qin Yu was in while breaking the array, causing Qin Yu to enter a spatial rift, even if Qin Yu died, the treasures left behind would drift in the spatial rift, and Qiu Zhongfu wouldn’t be able to obtain them.
Thus, Qin Yu could be killed, but couldn’t be allowed to fall into a spatial rift.
Outside the Fourth-level Array.
Qiu Zhongfu’s expression was icy, with seven Middle Level Heavenly Gods and a large group of Lower Heavenly Gods waiting behind for orders. Jin Kong asked in a low voice, "My lord, what shall we do now..."
"You stay here, I am going to break the array!"
Qiu Zhongfu plunged into the array like a meteorite. As a Fourth Level Trapping Array, the range of Qin Yu’s array might seem only a few hundred meters from the outside, but inside, it was much more than ten thousand meters.
This shared some similarities with the setup of the Mishen Palace.
"Not good." Sensing that Qiu Zhongfu had entered the array, a bitter smile emerged on Qin Yu’s face, "This Qiu Zhongfu, in his desire to kill me, is willing to do such tedious work. I’m out of options."
Qin Yu anticipated what Qiu Zhongfu was planning.
This Qiu Zhongfu intended to use ’Space Domain’ to probe whether Qin Yu was inside a certain area. If Qin Yu was not found within that area, Qiu Zhongfu would directly use ’Space Destruction’ to obliterate it.
The areas of destruction were typically not large, but the array felt vast from the inside. Breaking the array, or by chance destroying the Array Base, was indeed tedious.
"Buzz~~" "Buzz~~" "Buzz~~" "Buzz~~"...
The sound of spatial tearing and destruction echoed as Qiu Zhongfu tirelessly started destroying one small area after another. Slowly but surely, he would succeed.
...
"So easily broken by an Upper Heavenly God, is there no array that can trap an Upper Heavenly God?" Qin Yu’s heart also felt a pang of frustration.
An image of that Eighth Level Formation suddenly came to Qin Yu’s mind.
"Yes, that Eighth Level Formation can restrain an Upper Heavenly God. Even an Upper Heavenly God couldn’t escape from within it, it’s just a pity I can’t set it up..."
Qin Yu suddenly froze.
He had always felt a sense of familiarity with this Eighth Level Formation, but he just couldn’t identify why. After thinking for so long, it suddenly came to him at this moment.
"Creation of Heaven and Earth, yes, Creation of Heaven and Earth!"
Qin Yu suddenly closed his eyes. At this moment, he felt as if he had once again touched the ancient essence of the ’Glue Space’, the profound sensation of creating the Qiankun World at the dawn of Creation of Heaven and Earth descended once more.
Why did that Eighth Level Formation feel so familiar?
Because the principle behind this Eighth Level Formation was similar to the principle behind the Creation of Heaven and Earth that formed the ’Qiankun World’. Qin Yu had originally created the Qiankun World without fully understanding its mechanism.
Although he could not comprehend that principle, he remembered that profound realm.
Now, tapping into the profound sensation of Creation of Heaven and Earth, Qin Yu’s mind was completely filled with the structure of the whole ’Qiankun World’.
The ultimate purpose of an array is to comprehend the Space Law and create a space of its own.
Qin Yu didn’t understand the Space Law, but he did possess his own ’Qiankun World’, and he certainly understood its spatial principle!
"So that’s how it is!"
A smile appeared on Qin Yu’s face as his hands deftly moved through the air, sending out beams of light that flew out of his hands and fell like meteors around the Mini Mountain.
"Array ’Qiankun’, activate!"
With a light shout from Qin Yu.
In an instant, everyone within a few thousand kilometers radius, including Qiu Zhongfu who had just broken through the Fourth-level Array, felt the world turn upside down. The original scenery vanished, and they were surrounded by an endlessly vast and desolate land.
"This place, what is going on here?" Qiu Zhongfu and the others were all dumbfounded.
