Stellar Transformation-Chapter 622: Episode 17 - 19 The Descent of Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate
In the dim room, only a red candle was burning, its flame gently flickering. Thunder Nightmare God King Zhou Wulian stared at this red candle, his eyes unblinking.
The red candle grew shorter and shorter until the light finally extinguished.
"Sigh." Only after the light had gone out did a long sigh echo through the dim room. After a long time, another red candle was lit in the room, and the candle continued to burn...
It was unknown how many red candles had been burned.
"Younger brother, come to the Holy Emperor Hall quickly."
The voice of Northwest Saint Emperor Zhou Huo suddenly resounded in Zhou Wulian’s mind, causing his slightly drooping eyes to suddenly open wide, and a flash of lightning streaked by. The half-burnt red candle instantly vanished into nothingness.
"Creak."
Pushing open the door, Zhou Wulian looked up at the sky. The sky was filled with endless flashes of thunder, as the sky over Thunder Punishment City was always covered with numerous lightning bolts.
Although Zhou Huo’s message seemed urgent, Zhou Wulian was not in any hurry at all, leisurely leaving his mansion and walking step by step towards the Holy Emperor Hall.
Until he reached the entrance of the Holy Emperor Hall.
"Is that Yan’er?" A gentle voice came from inside the Holy Emperor Hall. The previously decadent Zhou Wulian suddenly changed his aura. He quickened his pace and stepped into the Holy Emperor Hall.
Inside, at the grand hall of the Holy Emperor Hall, sat an old man in a purple robe with silver hair, who had a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle’s and thin lips that were slightly purplish. Each of his silver hairs shimmered with a transparent glow that was hard to notice unless looked at carefully. Moreover, there was a crimson mole at his brow.
Below in the hall stood Northwest Saint Emperor Zhou Huo, Thunder Martial God King Zhou Tong, and Zhou Wulian’s son ’Zhou Ran’. All three Divine Kings were very humble at this moment.
"Father."
Zhou Wulian bowed and said.
This silver-haired old man in a robe was none other than Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate, one of the Three Great Venerable Sovereigns of the Divine World. Just by looking at his facial expression and gaze, one could tell that Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate was a very strict and harsh man.
"Yan’er." Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate faced Zhou Wulian, yet he wore a smile.
Why did Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate call Zhou Wulian ’Yan’er’? In fact, Zhou Wulian’s real name was Zhou Yan. Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate had three sons—eldest son Zhou Huo, second son Zhou Tong, and third son Zhou Yan.
However, 60 trillion years ago, Zhou Yan changed his name to ’Zhou Wulian’.
"Father, may I know the reason for your visit this time?" Zhou Wulian asked indifferently, but his eyes were filled with humble respect for his father.
Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate glanced at his third son and sighed internally.
Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate was well aware that his third son had long been heartbroken and had lost the will to live. He doubted that anything could excite him anymore. Every time he thought about his son, who had renamed himself ’Wulian’ (no attachment), he felt helpless.
"This time I’m back mainly because there has been a sudden appearance of a Qin Yu in the Divine World, reportedly causing a mess in my Thunder Punishment City. Is this true?" Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate’s gaze swept across the four below.
Zhou Huo’s face showed a look of shame, and he immediately spoke up, "Father, it’s indeed true."
Thunder Martial God King ’Zhou Tong’ even more loudly said, "Father, this Qin Yu, according to Zhou Xian, was still a trivial figure in the Mortal World twenty thousand years ago. But now, he is able to refine first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures. Moreover, his strength is very, very strange!"
"Haha... How is this strength peculiar?" Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate said with a light smile.
Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate usually couldn’t be bothered to care about Thunder Punishment City’s affairs because he believed no one dared to provoke Thunder Punishment City. However, this time, when he returned to the Divine World from his adventures in the Lower Realm, he casually heard about the affairs of Thunder Punishment City, only then did he know roughly what had happened.
"Grandfather." Zhou Ran respectfully said, "This Qin Yu, he hasn’t become a Divine King. But the most baffling part is... Qin Yu can perform Instantaneous Movement, and even Time Acceleration!"
"Able to perform Instantaneous Movement and Time Acceleration? Not yet a Divine King?" Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate nodded slightly, but his face didn’t show much surprise.
"The most astonishing thing is, he was able to break the ’Frozen Space’ deployed simultaneously by the Six Great Saint Emperors and directly collapse the space," Zhou Ran said with a tone full of amazement.
"Oh?"
Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate finally showed surprise, lifting his eyelids.
"Father, it seems you are familiar with this Qin Yu?" Zhou Huo inquired.
Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate nodded and said, "Of course, not long ago, this Qin Yu ascended the topmost layer of the Heavenly Ascending Steps at the Mountain and Sea Palace. Naturally, I paid attention to him. For this, I even discussed this Qin Yu with Senior Brother and third junior brother. However, according to Senior Brother... existence has its reasons. There is no need to delve deeply."
"Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate?"
Zhou Huo swallowed before asking, "Father, does Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate have some connection with Qin Yu? If Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate values this Qin Yu highly, perhaps we should hold back our grievances in Thunder Punishment City."
"Hold back?"
Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate snorted coldly, and the red mole between his brows suddenly shone, "Rest assured, I have already asked Senior Brother, and he has nothing to do with Qin Yu. However you wish to deal with Qin Yu, just go ahead. If it really comes to it... this old fellow can also make a move."
Upon hearing this, the Four Great God Kings in the Northwest Holy Emperor Palace were all shocked, with Zhou Wulian, the Thunder Nightmare God King, even looking at his father in surprise.
Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate said coldly, "In this vast universe, Thunder Punishment City is my root, and it is yours as well. Under no circumstances will I allow anyone to insult Thunder Punishment City or trample its dignity."
"Yes, Father."
Zhou Huo was overjoyed at this moment, with these words from Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate, he could be completely at ease. Even if they couldn’t win the fight themselves, having his father step in would surely guarantee a win, wouldn’t it?
There was no need to doubt the strength of Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate.
"However," Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate suddenly said thoughtfully.
The Four Great God Kings listened silently below, the word ’however’ suggested that having Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate take action against Qin Yu would not be so simple.
"However, Senior Brother has entrusted me that Heavenly Venerable Mountain will soon descend and from its arrival until the birth of a new Heavenly Venerable, I can only make a move once. During this period, I cannot take action against anyone to avoid disrupting the balance of the new Heavenly Venerable’s competition."
Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate looked at the four Divine Kings below, "You should understand my meaning. If you want me to take action against Qin Yu, there are only two phases, one before the descent of Heavenly Venerable Mountain, and one after the birth of the new Heavenly Venerable. As for the period in between... I am unable to act. Otherwise, Senior Brother and Third Junior Brother would also come looking for trouble."
Zhou Huo, Zhou Tong, and Zhou Ran all heaved a sigh of relief.
"Father, we will definitely resolve the Qin Yu issue before the descent of Heavenly Venerable Mountain. If we cannot handle it, then it won’t be too late to trouble Father," Zhou Huo said respectfully.
Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate nodded.
"Remember, do not overexert yourselves," Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate advised.
"Yes, Father (Grandfather)."
The Four Great God Kings all bowed in response.
"Good, I will reside at that old place for this period. There is no need to disturb me unless necessary," Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate said indifferently, glanced at Zhou Wulian, and then vanished into thin air above the great hall.
It was only after Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate disappeared that the Four Great God Kings straightened up.
"Good," Zhou Huo clapped his hands with a fierce strike, excitement in his eyes, "Haha, with Father’s words, I need not be too cautious anymore. Yes, Father is right... The dignity of Thunder Punishment City cannot be trampled by anyone."
Beside him, Zhou Tong and Zhou Ran also had faces full of joy.
"This time, that Qin Yu is undoubtedly doomed," Zhou Tong also said with a laugh, knowing full well among these Divine Kings that the power of any one of the Three Great Venerable Sovereigns exceeded the joint hands of the Eight Great Saint Emperors.
Absolute invincibility.
Below the Heavenly Venerate, no one can shake a Heavenly Venerate.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, Ran’er, I’m heading back first. If you need my help dealing with that Qin Yu, just let me know," said Zhou Wulian as he turned and slowly walked away after waving his sleeve.
Zhou Ran looked at his father’s desolate figure, his heart full of helplessness.
******
While Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate was making his descent to Thunder Punishment City, over at Zixuan Mansion on Zixuan Star in the New Universe, Qin Yu and a group of people were making quite the fuss.
"Knight to general,"
Qin Yu moved the knight and immediately burst out laughing, "Feifei, are you stunned? With this double knight mistake, you’re definitely finished." Qin Yu laughed heartily at that moment.
Hou Fei, looking at the chess game in front of him, was frantic, scratching his head and even looking at Hei Yu next to him, who was also frowning helplessly.
"Playing chess, you two combined aren’t a match for me," Qin Yu said confidently.
Hou Fei grimaced, "Big Brother, if you are so capable, why don’t you stick to playing with Sister Li’er instead of us and Mixed Feathered Bird? How many games did you win out of ten against Sister Li’er yesterday?"
Qin Yu was momentarily speechless.
Ten games? Won zero!
If it wasn’t for being trounced so badly by Li’er, why would he bother trouncing these two?
"Eh, Monkey, where’s Uncle Lan?" Qin Yu’s mind moved, and he sensed the entire universe, "Uncle Lan is actually not in the New Universe?"
"Oh, right, you were still in bed with Li’er this morning when Uncle Lan told me he was going back to Snow City." (To be continued. For more, please log on to WWW.QIDIAN.COM. More Chapters are available there supporting the author and genuine reading!)
