Stellar Transformation-Chapter 658: Episode 18 - 23 Another Asura God King
"Huh!"
A group of Divine Kings, as if startled, all moved swiftly backwards for several hundred meters like lightning. All the Divine Kings on the field, including the Eight Great Saint Emperors, maintained a certain distance from Qin Yu.
"Qin Yu, you, you..."
Zhou Huo angrily pointed at Qin Yu. With Zhou Ran dead, from today onwards, his Thunder Punishment City would have only one bare Saint Emperor left, besides him Zhou Huo, not a single Divine King.
And before that, Zhou Wulian and Zhou Tong were also killed by Qin Yu. How could Zhou Huo not harbor resentment towards Qin Yu?
That resentment had seeped into his spirit!
"What’s the matter? Northwest Saint Emperor, do you have something to say to me?" Qin Yu said with a faint smile, looking at Zhou Huo, while his hand gripped the Residual Snow Divine Spear, as if ready to strike at any moment.
Zhou Huo pointed his finger at Qin Yu, and his lips moved a few times, but he didn’t say anything.
At this moment, the more than thirty Divine Kings each had their own thoughts, and the average-strength Divine Kings were quite fearful of Qin Yu. Under the condition of "Frozen Space," Qin Yu was still capable of Instantaneous Movement, while the other Divine Kings could not perform it at all.
Just this one point alone gave Qin Yu absolute initiative.
In the eyes of all the Divine Kings on the field, aside from the Asura God King "Luo Fan," no other Divine King could withstand Qin Yu’s power head-on. These Divine Kings were not aware of the true strength of the Blood Sea Queen. After all, the Blood Sea Queen, during her time at Heavenly Venerable Mountain, didn’t get a chance to utilize "Time Freeze" before she was confined by Yi Feng.
Qin Yu’s gaze swept over the Divine Kings, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
Everything was exactly as he had imagined; his sudden, direct killing of Zhou Ran. Such a feeling of life not being under their control had already sowed fear in the hearts of these Divine Kings, and they no longer possessed their initial absolute dominance.
...
"Now, the most troubling ones are the Asura God King and the Blood Sea Queen, who both possess the ability to utilize ’Time Freeze.’ Once they exhibit it, I will be unable to move...and the joint force of the Eight Great Saint Emperors also has a terrifying attack power."
Qin Yu felt the pressure.
If the Asura God King, the Blood Sea Queen, the Eight Great Saint Emperors, and others joined forces, he could only choose to escape with Instantaneous Movement.
"Qin Yu!"
The voice of the Blood Sea Queen rang in Qin Yu’s mind, and he couldn’t help but look toward the Blood Sea Queen. The two exchanged glances for a moment, and a confident smile appeared on the Blood Sea Queen’s face.
"Qin Yu, you should be very clear at this moment, once the Eight Great Saint Emperors join forces, you absolutely cannot contend with them. And there is also the Asura God King. Moreover, there is me... Qin Yu, your defeat is certain," echoed the telepathic voice of the Blood Sea Queen in Qin Yu’s mind.
Qin Yu’s gaze shifted away from the Blood Sea Queen, roaming over the Eight Great Saint Emperors and others, but his attention remained on the Asura God King and the Blood Sea Queen as he responded telepathically.
"Blood Sea Queen, you should be very clear about my strength. You are right; alone I cannot withstand the lot of you, especially with you and the Asura God King among them. But you must understand, if I cannot defeat you, I can flee. Under the condition of ’Frozen Space,’ none of you can perform Instantaneous Movement, yet I can! Just with that, I am in an invincible position. What do you think, Blood Sea Queen?"
The Blood Sea Queen was taken aback and involuntarily clenched her teeth, her gaze becoming icy cold as she cursed inwardly, "How is it possible for this Qin Yu to perform Instantaneous Movement under ’Space Freeze’? Among all people, only he can move instantly, effectively unbeatable without even fighting."
Seeing the expression on the Blood Sea Queen’s face, Qin Yu couldn’t help but smile slightly.
"Qin Yu, let Jiang Lan hand over the Earth Seal. I really don’t want to fight you, and I hope you won’t force me," the Asura God King’s voice echoed in Qin Yu’s mind.
Qin Yu looked towards the Asura God King, who was then looking back at him with a sharp gaze; ’Luo Fan’ was intensely watching Qin Yu.
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out—
"Qin Yu, in the presence of these God Kings, you actually killed Zhou Ran just like that. You’ve gone too far in not taking us seriously. Do you really think you alone can stand against so many God Kings?" Jiang Fan’s eyes sparkled fiercely, his whole person exuding an oppressive aura, "Qin Yu, let Jiang Lan hand over the Earth Seal, and we might spare your lives, otherwise..."
The Eight Great Saint Emperors seemed to have a tacit understanding; they promptly took their positions, forming a mysterious grand formation.
The eight Primordial Spirit Pearls shone dazzlingly, with the various colors of Cosmic Origin Power beginning to flow and combine continuously, complementing each other; a terrifying aura emanated from the Eight Great Saint Emperors.
Qin Yu’s heart tightened.
"When these Eight Great Saint Emperors join forces, even the Asura God King cannot block them. The One Breath Eight Elements is powerfully terrifying," Qin Yu still remembered the scene when Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate used ’One Breath Eight Elements’ and destroyed Mist City.
If he faced it head-on, he would certainly be unable to withstand it; his only option was to escape.
"Ha ha..."
Qin Yu suddenly burst into loud laughter, causing all the God Kings to feel somewhat uneasy. Then, Qin Yu stopped his laughter, looking towards Jiang Fan and the other Eight Great Saint Emperors, "The Eight Great Saint Emperors, hmm, your One Breath Eight Elements is powerful indeed. But to threaten me, ha ha... dream on."
"If you want to attack, then come on."
The mist of Mist Swamp gradually began to gather again towards Qin Yu’s location. Amidst the endless mist, Qin Yu stood in the air, holding the Residual Snow Divine Spear, and faced the group of God Kings led by the Eight Great Saint Emperors with a faint smile.
"Let me remind you that the moment you make your move will be the moment I make mine! I want to see whether you will kill me first or I will kill you first!"
Qin Yu, holding the Residual Snow Divine Spear, suddenly changed form, one became two.
The Green Robed Qin Yu and the Black Robed Qin Yu stood side by side; then the Green Robed Qin Yu disappeared from the God Kings’ view with an Instantaneous Movement, directly reaching a spot a few hundred meters behind the Eight Great Saint Emperors.
The Green Robed Qin Yu and the Black Robed Qin Yu stood in the air opposite each other, with the God Kings in between them.
Jiang Fan, Zhou Huo, Duanmu Yun, Shen Tuyan, and the others suddenly hesitated.
"This... Brother Jiang Fan, Qin Yu can use Instantaneous Movement, but we cannot. If we really clash with Qin Yu head-on, even if One Breath Eight Elements can track the target, our side will surely suffer great losses," Duanmu Yun transmitted through Divine Sense.
The Eight Great Saint Emperors exchanged glances. The once overwhelmingly confident Eight Great Saint Emperors were now hesitant, showing no decisiveness whatsoever.
******
While Qin Yu was engaged in a standoff with the Eight Great Saint Emperors, the Asura God King, and the Blood Sea God King, Jiang Lan sat cross-legged in quiet contemplation at the top floor of a newly built palace on Donglan Mountain in the New Universe on Zixuan Star.
In this palace, time accelerated a hundred thousand times.
Originally, Qin Yu quietly waited for the God Kings in Zixuan Mansion, then drank a pot of wine above the white clouds, and the others arrived with great anticipation. It took roughly two or three hours.
Two to three hours, yet within the palace, Jiang Lan had cultivated for two to three hundred thousand hours. Nearly twenty thousand days, which equates to dozens of years.
Decades of secluded cultivation had brought tremendous progress for Jiang Lan.
...
Within the Cangtian Seal, the concept of ’Time Acceleration’ was most extensively described, followed by ’Time Freeze’, with ’Time Reversal’ being the rarest.
The Earth Seal, on the other hand, contained primarily the concept of ’Time Freeze’, with ’Time Acceleration’ following, and ’Time Reversal’ being the scarcest.
And most importantly, the ’Ten Thousand People Seal’ described ’Time Reversal’ in greater detail, whereas Time Acceleration and Time Freeze were relatively rare. However, even after acquiring the Ten Thousand People Seal, comprehending ’Time Reversal’ was exceedingly difficult.
This was because the most crucial parts of ’Time Reversal’ within the Ten Thousand People Seal were hidden in the Cangtian Seal and the Earth Seal, and without these two parts, understanding would be challenging.
...
The scarcity of ’Time Reversal’ content within the Cangtian Seal was why the Asura God King ’Luo Fan’ had made almost no progress in the law of time over his many years of study. After all, he possessed the Cangtian Seal.
But what Jiang Lan received was the Earth Seal!
Jiang Lan himself had already reached the limit with time acceleration and had a vague understanding of ’Time Freeze’. He just lacked a clear insight, the ultimate enlightenment.
The Earth Seal possessed the most extensive content on ’Time Freeze’.
At this moment, Jiang Lan was like a thirsty traveler in the desert who suddenly discovers an oasis with a clear and sweet water source. He studied and comprehended it zealously, as if dying of thirst.
Jiang Lan was completely immersed in the world of time laws at this moment.
As he delved into his study and understanding of time, he was oblivious to its passage.
One day, after eighty years of research, Jiang Lan’s body trembled slightly, and then he opened his eyes, his face holding a smile that also seemed like tears.
"Time Freeze, Time Freeze, now I can make time stop, but I can’t stop the time when Ah Mei and I were together," lamented Jiang Lan with endless sorrow on his face.
In just eighty years, Jiang Lan had fully unraveled the veil shrouding ’Time Freeze’. Once he broke through, he completely understood Time Freeze.
His rapid comprehension was also closely related to his own accomplishments in the law of time.
But...
Despite having grasped Time Freeze, there was not a hint of joy in Jiang Lan’s heart.
His mind was filled with fleeting images of his time with Zuo Qiumei, sometimes laughing like a fool, sometimes sighing with desolation... How much he wished he could freeze time back then.
To return to those days with Zuo Qiumei, to halt those happy times forever and make those joyful moments eternal.
But...
It was impossible; Zuo Qiumei’s true spirit had dissipated, and even if a Heavenly Venerable were to perform Time Reversal, it could not bring Zuo Qiumei back to life.
Jiang Lan recalled the last scene of Zuo Qiumei’s life—
The two teardrops, as dazzling as pearls, fell through the sky, across space. One merged into Jiang Li’s body, while the other entered a rift in space, wandering for countless years before eventually entering the body of an ordinary mortal boy in the Mortal World.
"Little Yu, that’s right, Little Yu is still out there battling with the Divine Kings!"
Jiang Lan suddenly snapped out of his reverie, fully awakening from his memories.
"Whoosh." Jiang Lan sprang to his feet.
Having realized ’Time Freeze’, Jiang Lan had no ambition to continue pondering ’Time Reversal’ for two reasons; first, the content about ’Time Reversal’ in the Earth Seal was too sparse, and second, because...
Qin Yu was outside, facing many Divine Kings in battle on his behalf.
Before, Jiang Lan could only contend with one or two Holy Emperors. Facing numerous Divine Kings, he had no chance of resistance. But now, he had astonishing strength.
He possessed a First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure and the divine skill of ’Time Freeze’.
Jiang Lan had become a new Asura God King, his power not a whit less than that of the original Asura God King.
"I hope it’s not too late!"
"Swoosh!"
Jiang Lan immediately turned into a streak of light, flying out of the palace that Qin Yu had specifically constructed for him, then through the passageway back to Zixuan Mansion, rushing towards the battlefront where Qin Yu and the Divine Kings were clashing...
******
Neither the Asura God King nor the Blood Sea Queen compromised an inch with Qin Yu, and anger had finally risen to the surface. Although they were wary of Qin Yu, they still had enough confidence when they worked together.
"Brother Luo Fan, get ready," Jiang Fan transmitted through divine sense directly.
The Eight Great Saint Emperors had already secretly allied with the Asura God King, deciding to join forces. They didn’t bother to request the help of the Blood Sea Queen because they underestimated her power.
The Blood Sea Queen said nothing.
But Qin Yu had to be cautious of the Blood Sea Queen.
"Haha..." Qin Yu smiled brightly, with a hint of madness, his gaze sweeping over the Divine Kings with a tinge of bloodthirst in his eyes, "It’s been a long time since I’ve had a good killing spree, come on."
Wielding the Residual Snow Divine Spear, Qin Yu confidently faced the multitude of Divine Kings.
The Eight Great Saint Emperors, the Asura God King, and the rest were extremely cautious, but just then, a surge of vibration caused by a Qi Explosion from extreme speed flying started to approach.
A figure flew at high speed toward the distant Zixuan Mansion.
Qin Yu turned, puzzled, and upon recognizing the newcomer, was filled with confusion, "Uncle Lan?"
