Stellar Transformation-Chapter 550: Episode 16 - 11 The First Battle

With the dark night dissipating, the light of day descended, covering the entire Divine World. Likewise, Xuanjin City welcomed a new day, one where the whole city buzzed with activity and excitement.

Outside Liuyun Mansion, Heavenly Gods occasionally passed by, casting glances towards the mansion and discussing among themselves.

Suddenly, a Heavenly God army flew uniformly towards Liuyun Mansion and landed right outside the mansion gates. The guards of Liuyun Mansion immediately intervened: "This is Liuyun Mansion, unauthorized persons are not allowed inside."

The leader of the Heavenly God army promptly produced a golden token, "By the Holy Emperor’s command, Mr. Qin Yu and others are to proceed to the military camp in the Martial Arts Arena of North City, Xuanjin, to participate in the battle for the position of Lanxuan Hall Master. Mr. Qin Yu, please make your way to the camp swiftly."

His voice was loud, echoing throughout Liuyun Mansion, and those inside, including Qin Yu who were already prepared, heard everything clearly.

Since there were already numerous Heavenly Gods outside Liuyun Mansion, upon hearing what the commander had said, they immediately began to buzz among themselves. An excited Heavenly God shouted, "The battle is at the Martial Arts Arena in North City, come on, let’s hurry over."

There were also calm Heavenly Gods who simply nodded and said, "Yes, the arena is sufficiently large, and with the unique restrictions of Xuanjin City, it is indeed suitable for those experts to fight."

...

In any case, the news spread quickly. It was not only disseminated from here, but the Baihua Royal Mansion and Dong Hou had also spread the news. As Xuanjin City was not very large and there were only so many Heavenly Gods, the news quickly became known throughout the city.

Inside the great hall of Liuyun Mansion, Xuanjin City, 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Upon hearing the shouts from outside, Qin Yu, Uncle Fu, Qiu Zhongfu, Tan Jiu, and Sui Fu immediately stood up. Since they had decided not to let Little Black fight, they didn’t disturb his cultivation, and he continued his training in the Jiang Lan Realm.

Uncle Fu, Qiu Zhongfu, Tan Jiu, and Sui Fu all looked towards Qin Yu.

Qin Yu smiled and commanded, "Let’s go."

Leading the way with Uncle Fu and the others following behind, Qin Yu left Liuyun Mansion. The Heavenly God army that delivered the message was still waiting outside. Upon seeing Qin Yu, the Heavenly God army commander immediately saluted, "Mr. Qin Yu, the battle venue is at the Martial Arts Arena. His Majesty the Holy Emperor has ordered me to tell you this and lead you to the arena."

"Lead the way," Qin Yu responded succinctly.

"Yes." The Imperial City’s Heavenly God Guard immediately obeyed the command, and the Heavenly God squad flew in front of Qin Yu and the others who also took flight. As for Uncle Fu, he was flown with the help of ’Space Domain’ cast by Qiu Zhongfu.

In Xuanjin City, it was rare for anyone to fly through the city’s skies. The Heavenly God squad did so only by the command of the Holy Emperor.

As Qin Yu and his group flew, it immediately drew the gaze of numerous Heavenly Gods below.

"It’s Mr. Qin Yu and his group!" Someone immediately recognized Qin Yu’s group. They might not be familiar with Qin Yu, but they did recognize Uncle Fu, Qiu Zhongfu who had often been seen at Liuyun Mansion over the past year.

Qin Yu, looking down at the Heavenly Gods gazing up at him, saw admiration, jealousy, envy, and anticipation in their eyes. Faced with such attention, Qin Yu’s heart remained relatively calm.

In just a short while, Qin Yu along with the others, led by the guide, arrived at the military camp in North City.

As soon as he entered the military camp, he felt an aura of solemn deadliness. Qin Yu looked at the massive military camp in front of him, which occupied a quarter of Xuanjin City’s area. Standing in front of the camp, it felt like a colossal, sprawling prehistoric beast. This aura of deadly solemnity seemed to have accumulated over many years.

"Uncle Fu, do you know how long this military camp has been here?" Qin Yu asked Uncle Fu beside him.

Uncle Fu responded, "It’s been too long. When Xuanjin City was founded, this military camp was already established. Nearly all the supreme experts of the Eastern Divine Realm have practiced here at some point."

Qin Yu couldn’t help thinking of people like Huangfu Jing.

Huangfu Liehuo and Huangfu Liejun both originated from this military camp, and even Huangfu Jing is now one of the nine great team leaders. Even royal family members need to train in the Heavenly God Army, which shows that most of the elites from the Eastern Divine Realm have spent time here. As for the Upper Heavenly Gods, apart from Qiu Zhongfu, almost everyone else has stayed here.

Just upon entering the military camp, Qin Yu saw a large crowd in front of him and couldn’t help exclaiming, "There really are a lot of people!"

"Mr. Qin Yu, the Martial Arts Arena is still ahead," said the leader of the Heavenly God squad respectfully. Qin Yu nodded slightly and continued forward. It didn’t take long for Qin Yu and his companions to reach the Martial Arts Arena.

The Martial Arts Arena was rectangular, spanning several thousand meters in both length and width.

At this moment, thousands of Heavenly Gods had gathered around the arena, and the number of spectators was increasing at a staggering rate. Soon, the number surpassed ten thousand.

With ten thousand people, it already felt like a sea of humanity. The entire Xuanjin City had a population of just over ten thousand, and today at least ninety percent of the city’s residents had gathered here. Those who hadn’t come were mostly delayed by secluded cultivation.

In the middle of the Martial Arts Arena, there were only about a dozen women, led by Xue Yu.

Qin Yu and his group of five also walked over.

"Big sister, that Qin Yu has come." Suddenly, a woman spoke up, and Xue Yu turned her head to look, then immediately walked towards Qin Yu.

"Mr. Qin Yu, I originally wanted to visit your mansion to meet you, but you were in closed-door cultivation. Only today were we able to meet again. Today’s battle is merely a competition; let’s all do our best without harming our friendship," said Xue Yu with a smile.

Qin Yu nodded and replied, "Of course, Miss Xue Yu. Where is Lord Baihua God King?"

"The God King, she..."

Xue Yu had barely started speaking when she abruptly stopped and looked up. Not only her, but Qin Yu and the others also looked towards the sky, along with over ten thousand Heavenly Gods surrounding the Martial Arts Arena.

In the sky, over a hundred people majestically flew over, led by a man clad in an imperial robe, the East Pole Saint Emperor Huangfu Yu, with his wife by his side. On the right side of the East Pole Saint Emperor was a woman dressed in colorful clothes, the Baihua God King, who looked like a dazzling young woman in her twenties.

On the left side of the East Pole Saint Emperor was a stern and ruthless-looking man with a golden long sword strapped to his back.

"Golden Sword God King?" Qin Yu’s gaze instinctively focused on the man carrying the golden long sword. Generally, Divine Kings keep their weapons inside their bodies. For someone like the Golden Sword God King to carry it on his back was rare, not only among Divine Kings but also among Heavenly Gods.

Qiu Zhongfu transmitted to Qin Yu beside him, "Master, among the three Divine Kings of East Pole Xuanjin Mountain, the Golden Sword God King was the last to reach the Divine King Realm. However, despite being the last, the power of the Golden Sword God King might actually be the strongest."

"Oh?" Qin Yu looked toward Qiu Zhongfu, puzzled.

How did Qiu Zhongfu know about that?

"Master, I have existed in the Divine World for a very long time, even longer than the Artisan God Che Hou Yuan, and I have seen the Golden Sword Divine King take action. Although in terms of strength, this Golden Sword Divine King is the strongest. However, the Eight Great Saint Emperors, each possessing one of the Clan Treasures, makes their power extremely formidable," Qiu Zhongfu conveyed with a sigh.

A smile appeared on Qin Yu’s face as he looked at Qiu Zhongfu in amazement.

Qiu Zhongfu knew quite a lot.

"Clan Treasure, what is that?" Qin Yu asked.

Qiu Zhongfu replied uncertainly, "I’ve only heard rumors that the Eight Great Saint Emperor families have been able to exist permanently because of the great role played by their Clan Treasures. The eight Clan Treasures are said to be incredibly powerful, probably second only to the ’Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure’ of legend."

"Oh?" Qin Yu couldn’t help but glance at the East Pole Saint Emperor.

At that moment, feeling Qin Yu’s gaze, the East Pole Saint Emperor also looked back at Qin Yu, giving him a slight smile filled with encouragement. Qin Yu immediately smiled back.

The Three Great Divine Kings descended, followed by Black Wind Palace Master, Heavenly Desolation Palace Master, and Lie Jun Palace Master, and then the elite members of the Huangfu Family, an impressive entourage of hundreds, landed in front of the Martial Arts Arena. Chairs were already prepared in those spots.

The East Pole Saint Emperor and the others sat down, and suddenly, the East Pole Saint Emperor who was sitting in the center stood up, glanced around, and then spoke loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, one of the four halls in my East Pole Xuanjin Mountain, Lanxuan Hall, has been vacant, and today is the day we decide the new master of Lanxuan Hall. There are three candidates for the position of hall master: the brigade captain from the Heavenly God Army, Upper Heavenly God ’Dong Hou,’ a disciple from Baihua Royal Mansion, Upper Heavenly God Xue Yu, and lastly, the newly invited Array Master, Qin Yu!"

The East Pole Saint Emperor looked at Qin Yu, Xue Yu, Dong Hou, and the others, nodded slightly, and said, "The rules for today’s battle for position are very simple. Each side must present three combatants, one being the hall master candidate, one a Middle Level Heavenly God, and one a Lower Heavenly God. Two victories out of three fights will win a set! First, Xue Yu’s side will battle Qin Yu’s side, then Qin Yu’s side will battle Dong Hou’s side, and lastly, Dong Hou’s side will fight Xue Yu’s side."

"In total, there are three sets, constituting nine battles; any side that wins two sets will secure the position of hall master. If all three sides have one victory and one defeat, then we will consider the strength of the hall master candidates," the East Pole Saint Emperor said indifferently.

With that, the East Pole Saint Emperor glanced at Qin Yu with a meaningful look.

Clearly, these rules were very advantageous for Qin Yu.

With Qin Yu’s Array Space, he could definitely defeat both Dong Hou and Xue Yu.

And now, Qin Yu just noticed that on the other side of the Martial Arts Arena, Dong Hou’s team consisted of only three people, two men and one woman, with the leading Dong Hou’s eyes twinkling brightly each time he blinked.

...

After the East Pole Saint Emperor finished speaking, one of the Three Hall Masters, Huangfu Liejun, took charge of hosting the battle for position. The first fight was between Xue Yu’s side and Qin Yu’s side.

Huangfu Liejun’s voice echoed throughout the entire Martial Arts Arena.

"First fight, Xue Yu’s side’s Lower Heavenly God against Qin Yu’s side’s Lower Heavenly God. The battle begins!"

As soon as Huangfu Liejun’s voice fell, the tens of thousands of Heavenly Gods surrounding the arena immediately started shouting loudly, most of them yelling excitedly.

Amid the loud shouts, a woman in green from Xue Yu’s side walked into the center of the Martial Arts Arena.

"Isn’t that the woman in green who was whipped by Huangfu Ling?" Qin Yu clearly remembered. This woman in green was not considered very strong among the Lower Heavenly Gods.

Xue Yu is letting this woman in green compete?

"Master, your servant is going into battle," Sui Fu stated respectfully.

"Go ahead," Qin Yu was full of confidence in Sui Fu; he had seen Sui Fu’s battle with Kang Qi. With Sui Fu possessing an Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact, he should have a very easy time against a Lower Heavenly God of the same rank.

Sui Fu nodded firmly and then strode towards the center of the Martial Arts Arena.

Towering at three meters tall with intertwined muscles and arms as thick as thighs, Sui Fu altogether had a domineering aura. Meanwhile, the opponent, the woman in green, seemed quite delicate.

"Big guy, be careful," the woman in green said with a sweet smile.

With a stern face, Sui Fu flipped his hand and took out a war axe which then enlarged to nearly three meters tall, as tall as Sui Fu himself.

Holding the giant axe.

"Young lady, just concede," Sui Fu said, not bothering to talk further, and immediately unleashed his powerful attack.

Sui Fu’s thick right arm swung the giant war axe, and he shot into the sky. Then both he and the axe transformed into a mountain-sized giant axe that smashed down from the high altitude.

Confidence filled Qin Yu’s face.

However, the expression of the woman in green changed, and she quickly flipped her hand, suddenly producing three green streams of air that grew long against the wind, each stretching thousands of meters.

These three rope-like green streams instantly bound the mountain-sized giant axe completely. All at once, Sui Fu reverted to his original form, and the giant axe returned to its original size as well.

"You..." Sui Fu glared at the woman in green, struggling furiously, but no matter what, he couldn’t break free from the binding.

Qin Yu was taken aback.

Sui Fu had actually lost?

"Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, a Lower Heavenly God using Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure; the Baihua God King is really too indulgent with that ’Xue Yu’." Qin Yu’s expression turned sour.

It seemed that the battle for the position was not as easy as he had imagined.
