Stellar Transformation-Chapter 634: Episode 17 - 31 Freeze

Qin Yu discovered that the person suddenly attacking him was Zhou Wulian, and his vigilance immediately soared to the extreme.

Among the Four Great God Kings of Thunder Punishment City, Zhou Wulian was the one Qin Yu was most wary of. Although Zhou Huo possessed a Clan Guardian Treasure and seemed to pose a greater threat, Qin Yu’s understanding of the Origin Power had greatly increased. Even his soul had absorbed the Cosmic Origin Power.

Knowing the enemy as well as oneself ensures no peril in battles.

Qin Yu naturally didn’t care much about Zhou Huo, but Zhou Wulian was different. According to what Qin Yu knew, the weapon Zhou Wulian used was only a Second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, yet his personal strength was incredibly formidable. Why was he so formidable, and what made him so? All of this was unknown to Qin Yu. The unknown was the most terrifying!

"Whoosh!"

The green blade Mang rapidly slashed towards Qin Yu. Qin Yu could discern that the flow of time around the green blade Mang alternated between being a million times faster and just tens of times faster. Yet, it seemed naturally harmonious. At the same time... the countless bamboo within the ’Ten Thousand Miles’ were unable to stop the blade Mang in the slightest.

"Bang!"

As the blade Mang neared Qin Yu’s body, it suddenly surged, and a neat blade mark appeared in that space. Fortunately, this location was within a First-class Space Spiritual Treasure, whose space stability could not be easily broken by even a First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure.

Qin Yu himself instantly moved away.

When Qin Yu reappeared, he was behind ’Thunder Nightmare God King’ Zhou Wulian, without hesitation, the Residual Snow Divine Spear in his hand thrust out at extreme speed. The Residual Snow Divine Spear, like a Flood Dragon emerging from water, carrying an intent to kill, stabbed towards Zhou Wulian.

The speed was too fast.

Instantaneous Movement, thrusting the spear, Time Acceleration! Everything combined perfectly.

"If Zhou Wulian doesn’t want to die, the only option is to instantaneously move away," Qin Yu watched as the Residual Snow Divine Spear pierced towards Zhou Wulian with the momentum to shatter everything. He had absolute confidence in the Residual Snow Divine Spear.

And at that moment—

"Bang!"

The bamboo surrounding Qin Yu unexpectedly shattered into powder; his attack was so powerful that it even caused a huge impact on the ’Ten Thousand Miles’.

"Oh?"

Zhou Wulian noticed this spear thrust, and the green Short Knife in his hand elegantly changed direction, tracing a bizarre curve that incredibly managed to block the spear before it could reach Zhou Wulian’s body.

But can you really block the Residual Snow Divine Spear with force alone?

"Huh?" Qin Yu suddenly changed his expression.

Only two very faint impact sounds were heard as Zhou Wulian’s green Short Knife, like jumping musical notes, lightly tapped twice on the spearhead of the Residual Snow Divine Spear, and its aim was lost.

For the first time, Qin Yu encountered someone who used ’softness to overcome hardness’ to defend against his Residual Snow Divine Spear’s attack.

Softness overcoming hardness also depends on how ’hard’ the hardness is.

The power of the Residual Snow Divine Spear, with attacks so terrifying that there are only a few in the Divine World who can reach the level of Zhou Wulian.

Always calm and tranquil like a deep pool, Zhou Wulian’s eyes couldn’t help but show surprise as he glanced at Qin Yu’s Residual Snow Divine Spear and nodded, "Qin Yu, the spear in your hands is indeed powerful. Even that slight touch just now made me feel the pressure it brings... However, a person’s true strength is not solely determined by their weapon."

Qin Yu smiled.

"Zhou Wulian, are you trying to buy time?" Qin Yu said with a smile.

Qin Yu could guess Zhou Wulian’s purpose at the moment. Right now, Zhou Huo was completely focused on breaking through the ’Ten Thousand Miles’ as quickly as possible to get everyone out. Zhou Wulian was there to hold Qin Yu back. However, after the brief encounter, Zhou Wulian already knew he could not confront Qin Yu head-on, so he resorted to talking to buy some time.

"Correct."

Zhou Wulian calmly nodded, "Qin Yu, I can sense your strength. For instance, the Time Law... you have reached an extremely high level with time acceleration. I admire your talent. But it’s not always the case that faster is better. Sometimes a combination of fast and slow works best. That is the accumulation of countless years of experience. Like me... In the entire Divine World, aside from the Asura God King, none of the other Eight Great Saint Emperors could possibly kill me, even if they could perform ’Space Freeze’. This is what experience is... Qin Yu, contemplate that well."

A smile arose in Qin Yu’s heart as well.

Zhou Wulian’s words made sense, but were they of any use to him?

Looking at Zhou Wulian Qin Yu, he retorted with a smile, "Experience is useful against equals. But against opponents of absolute strength, it’s useless. Just as no matter how experienced you are, you’re no match for the Asura God King. Once ’Time Freeze’ is used, you can only be at the mercy of others."

"Moreover..."

Qin Yu pointed the tip of his Residual Snow Divine Spear upwards, "This Residual Snow Divine Spear of mine, just now, you only saw the tip of the iceberg." Qin Yu smirked, "Alright, Zhou Huo will probably break this space open soon. Before that happens, let’s have one last battle."

"The last battle?" Zhou Wulian frowned.

Without going into detail, Qin Yu simply held his spear horizontally and said with a light smile, "Be careful." Then, with a flick of the Residual Snow Divine Spear, its tip shimmered with countless spear stars; powerful energy surged out like a swarm of pythons, rolling towards Zhou Wulian.

...

"Third brother, second brother, hold on a little longer, I will soon be able to break through the space sealed by this Ten Thousand Miles." Watching the continuously floating green bamboo in front of him, Zhou Huo was fully immersed in unleashing the power of the Clan Guardian Treasure ’Thunder Origin Spirit Pearl’.

The spirit pearl hovering above Zhou Huo’s head contracted a bit as it was occasionally wrapped with electric snakes, then immediately expanded into a larger area.

The nearby bamboo crashed down in succession.

Zhou Huo had a simple strategy, to have Zhou Wulian and Zhou Tong delay Qin Yu, waiting to break through the ’Ten Thousand Miles’ Spatial Spiritual Treasure. Once they are back in the Divine World, they could then proceed at their leisure.

In the Divine World, they could attack Qin Yu’s Mist City; if they were outmatched, they could also teleport away to Thunder Punishment City and have the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate take action.

Previously, Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate had decreed that during the time from the descent of Heavenly Venerable Mountain until a new Heavenly Venerable was born, Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate was allowed to intervene only once. However, before the descent of Heavenly Venerable Mountain, killing a few Divine Kings was still within the rights of a Heavenly Venerable.

"How come Qin Yu is so lucky? Not only is he strong, but he also has several Divine Kings helping him." Zhou Huo focused all his efforts on breaking through the layers of barriers of ’Ten Thousand Miles’.

...

Qin Yu’s real body was engaged in battle with Zhou Wulian, while his clone fought against Zhou Tong. It seemed that he was being restrained by Zhou Tong, but in reality...

"If I want to disturb Zhou Huo, Zhou Tong is definitely not capable of stopping me," said the green-robed Qin Yu, like an invincible war god, every punch and kick creating tremors in the space around him.

Simple attacks, yet terrifyingly powerful.

Zhou Tong struggled to defend against this green-robed Qin Yu. He could accelerate time, and so could the green-robed Qin Yu. Qin Yu’s clone possessed the same divine skills of the New Universe Space Power and Time Acceleration.

"Bang!"

The green-robed Qin Yu himself instantly moved above Zhou Tong, inverted, his fists fiercely struck downward. That ordinary punch carried endless pressure, like a mountain crashing down from above, making even Zhou Tong feel a tremble in his heart.

"Block?"

Zhou Tong’s face showed a wry smile as he chose to instantly move away to avoid the attack.

’Thunder Martial God King’ Zhou Tong was known for his bravery, always preferring direct confrontations. His physical defense was indeed very high, but when faced with Qin Yu’s clone, who was transformed from a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, his proud defense was like comparing a baby’s skin to metal.

Not even on the same level.

"Zhou Tong, it seems you can only run away now," the green-robed Qin Yu said, stopping his movement, not continuing the attack.

Zhou Tong also stopped, feeling relieved that Qin Yu didn’t continue his assault, but upon hearing Qin Yu’s words, he couldn’t help but snort coldly, "Qin Yu, we are not sparring, this is a fight to the death. I admit my defense is not as good as yours, but does that mean I should just let you kill me? If you can’t kill me, then stop making snide remarks."

"Oh, are you being reasonable now?" the green-robed Qin Yu said with a light smile.

Zhou Tong’s old face flushed with annoyance.

In the Divine World, for a Divine King to kill another Divine King, it was extremely difficult. This is because Divine Kings can perform Instantaneous Movement! Unless they encounter a Holy Emperor, who can freeze space making it impossible for their adversary to perform Instantaneous Movement. Of course, the Asura God King can easily kill other Divine Kings too.

However, there are only eight Holy Emperors, and those who have comprehended ’Time Freeze’ are even rarer.

So... typically, when one Divine King faces another and continuously flees through Instantaneous Movement while also entangling with the opponent, it is considered ’acting shamelessly’. Because it’s somewhat disgraceful to cling to someone when you know you are no match for them.

Zhou Tong was filled with anger. He had a task—to tie down Qin Yu’s clone. So he relentlessly chased after Qin Yu’s clone even though he was no match for him. He himself felt helpless.

After all, among the four Great God Kings, Zhou Wulian and he were to tie down Qin Yu’s real body and clone, while Zhou Huo attacked the Ten Thousand Miles domain, and as for Zhou Ran... not understanding a whit of the Time Law, facing Qin Yu’s clone who could accelerate time, he was simply incapable of entanglement. Evading before even making sense of it, he would have been half dead from a punch.

"Hmm? It’s about to break," the green-robed Qin Yu murmured.

Qin Yu’s real body and clone were actually one, with the clone’s soul itself being part of Qin Yu’s Divine Sense combined with a Soul Body. The green-robed Qin Yu could also sense the New Universe Space Power.

At this moment, he could clearly feel that the Ten Thousand Miles region was collapsing.

"Hum~~" The space vibrated as bamboo sticks burst into dust one after another. Seeing this scene, Zhou Tong couldn’t help but show a pleased expression on his face.

"Zhou Tong, before you go out, I’ll give you a little present," Green Robed Qin Yu said indifferently.

"What?" Zhou Tong looked at the Green Robed Qin Yu standing before him, his face suddenly changing.

For that Green Robed Qin Yu had transformed into a stream of green qi, which diffused and spread. The part of the green qi approaching Zhou Tong suddenly turned into a leg and kicked out fiercely.

Zhou Tong evaded with instantaneous movement.

Yet the leg once again turned into green qi. At this moment, Zhou Tong felt... it would take only a few moments before the space completely collapsed. So he was on full alert, defending against the flowing green qi.

"Pfft!"

Another portion of green qi near Zhou Tong transformed into a fist and smashed towards him. Zhou Tong dodged once more with instantaneous movement!

"Boom!" Zhou Tong only felt his body tighten, then his soul experienced a burst of pain, "Not good." He instantly moved away, and at this point, the ’Ten Thousand Miles’ space finally completely shattered, and Zhou Wulian, who had been restraining Qin Yu, also teleported out.

*****

In the air outside of Mist City, Qin Yu, Jiang Li, Yi Feng God King, and Zuo Qiulin, all stood hovering, while Zhou Huo and the other four God Kings from Thunder Punishment City looked rather displeased.

"Second brother, how are you?" Zhou Huo turned to look at the pale-faced Zhou Tong God King.

Zhou Tong was pale and seemed quite weak, "Nothing much, I just wasn’t careful for a moment, and I didn’t expect Qin Yu’s clone to not only transform into a stream of qi but also other weapons."

"Big Brother." Zhou Wulian glanced at Zhou Huo and shook his head slightly.

Zhou Huo understood the meaning of his younger brother; evidently, the strength of Mist City was too formidable. It would be unlikely for the four of them to destroy Mist City.

Gazing at the four God Kings of Mist City standing abreast, Zhou Huo was about to use Divine Sense to signal everyone to retreat. It seemed it was indeed time to call upon Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate.

"Lords of Thunder Punishment City, today you sought to destroy my Mist City and kill the people of Mist City. I, too, should adhere to the customary ’return the favor’," Qin Yu suddenly said with a smile.

Zhou Huo and the others sneered in their hearts, all looking forward to the scene after they returned and their father intervened.

But what Qin Yu did next shocked them.

Qin Yu smiled and pointed with one hand, "Space, freeze!" In an instant, around Mist City at the center, the space within a radius of ten thousand miles was completely frozen. No teleportation was possible!

The expressions on Zhou Huo and the others’ faces froze instantly.

A ruthless aura emerged in Qin Yu’s heart, "The time has come for a final settlement."

(Not counted in the word count: Today, Fang Qie went to the hospital. According to the doctor, I need to be on an IV for a few days first. The situation is not very good. But being on an IV every day, with half a day’s time, I still have time to write... The updates for the next few days, I hope everyone can understand, will be somewhat delayed each day, Fang Qie will ensure quantity but not the exact timing. For today, one Chapter now, and another one at 10 pm! Last night Fang Qie waited until 1 am before sleeping, also watching a lot of book reviews on the computer. I don’t want to repeat the harsh words some people say; as for me, my conscience is clear. As for those who say I feign illness... I swear, I have never intentionally pretended to be sick! Some nonsense people are really trivial, about updates, monthly tickets, quality issues, timing... any conceivable issue, they take advantage of to attack vehemently... I saw those book reviews and well, let’s not talk about it, just continue writing. Next Chapter at 10 pm.)
