Stellar Transformation-Chapter 659: Episode 18 - 24 Ruthless Slaughter

Chapter Two!

————————

Jiang Lan, clad in a green robe and standing atop his Luo Yu Saber, sliced through the sky and sped towards where Qin Yu and the Divine Kings were, his terrifying speed causing the space itself to tremble.

"It’s Jiang Lan!"

Next to the Eight Great Saint Emperors, Huangfu Liu Xiang was the first to exclaim in delight, drawing the attention of the Divine Kings to the rapidly approaching Jiang Lan.

"It really is Jiang Lan. He has actually come out himself," a glint of surprise flickered in Duanmu Yun’s eyes.

Both the Asura God King Luo Fan and the Blood Sea Queen Xue Yun’s eyes lit up, fixing their gaze on the swiftly advancing Jiang Lan, their hearts filled with eager anticipation.

They were both confident in dealing with Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan flew up to Qin Yu’s side, nodded at him with a smile, and said, "Little Yu." Qin Yu was somewhat puzzled, Uncle Lan was supposed to be cultivating in the New Universe, so how could he have come out in just a short while?

Whether it was Qin Yu or the Divine Kings, they felt as if it had only been half a day since they were fighting for the Earth Seal inside Heavenly Venerable Mountain. Yet, in reality, Jiang Lan had already been cultivating for decades. However, in Qin Yu’s mind, even if decades had passed, it was unlikely that Uncle Lan would have greatly increased his power in just a few decades.

"Jiang Lan, hand over the Earth Seal at once!" Duanmu Yun was the first to shout.

Both Duanmu Yun and Jiang Fan were ambitious characters; otherwise, they wouldn’t each lead a faction and have been battling each other in the Divine World for so many years.

Both Duanmu Yun and Jiang Fan wanted to become a Heavenly Venerable. Naturally, they were extremely eager to get their hands on one of the Three Seals, the Earth Seal.

"Second brother, just hand over the Earth Seal. Otherwise, it will only lead to harm for yourself and others!" Jiang Fan also said coldly.

Jiang Lan cast a glance at his big brother Jiang Fan and then toward Zhou Huo, Duanmu Yun, and the other Holy Emperors, his face suddenly turning ugly as he was reminded of how Zuo Qiumei had been killed by a coalition of several Holy Emperors.

Compared to that time, the scene was strikingly similar, even larger in scale.

"Asking for the Earth Seal is out of the question," Jiang Lan said indifferently.

"Jiang Lan, you must hand it over today, whether you like it or not!" the Asura God King Luo Fan said coldly, as a Blood Ruler, Life-breaking, appeared out of nowhere in his hand.

"Since you’ve come, don’t think about leaving," the Blood Sea Queen said with a sneer.

The many Divine Kings, each with a glimmer of killing intent in their eyes, now had confidence. They had no assurance against Qin Yu, but against Jiang Lan... Once they joined forces, even if Jiang Lan had the prowess of three heads and six arms, he would die.

"Whoosh!"

Two fierce energies suddenly rose from two directions, front and back.

It was only then that the Eight Great Saint Emperors, the Asura God King, the Blood Sea Queen, and the others remembered the Black-Robed Qin Yu standing before them and the Green-Robed Qin Yu behind them.

"Kill my Uncle Lan? Hmph, let’s see if you have the fortune to do so."

Qin Yu said coldly. His Residual Snow Divine Spear was about to strike in an instant, but Jiang Lan reached out, stopping Qin Yu. Qin Yu was startled and utterly perplexed.

Why is Uncle Lan stopping me?

Qin Yu turned his head to look at Jiang Lan. Jiang Lan gazed back at him, smiling and saying, "Little Yu, these Divine Kings have come for me, let me deal with them."

"Uncle Lan, you’re alone?" Qin Yu was shocked.

It wasn’t just Qin Yu, even the Divine Kings in the distance were puzzled and confused when they heard this. They had felt the power of Jiang Lan themselves. They acknowledged that Jiang Lan was strong, but at most, he was only equivalent to one or two Holy Emperors. If he faced so many Divine Kings joining hands, death was certain.

Was Jiang Lan seeking death?

Many Divine Kings were looking at Jiang Lan with doubt.

At this moment, however, Jiang Lan secretly communicated to Qin Yu, "Little Yu, while you’ve only been outside for half a day, I’ve cultivated in the New Universe for decades. In these decades, I have further advanced my comprehension of the ’Time Law’."

Further advanced?

Uncle Lan had originally reached the ultimate state of ’Time Acceleration’, so to further advance would be—

In an instant, Qin Yu realized the implication, but the more he thought about the answer, the more incredulous he became. In just a few decades, Uncle Lan had actually comprehended Time Freeze. In the Divine World today, apart from Uncle Lan, only the Asura God King ’Luo Fan’ and the Blood Sea Queen ’Xue Yun’ had mastered Time Freeze. The difficulty could be imagined.

"Uncle Lan, have you truly, truly comprehended ’Time Freeze’?"

"Don’t disbelieve." Jiang Lan smiled as he looked at Qin Yu, guessing what was on his mind, "Little Yu, when have I ever deceived you? I truly have comprehended ’Time Freeze’. All these people came for me. Just watch me take action, and if I can’t handle it, then it won’t be too late for you to help."

A moment of hesitation crossed Qin Yu’s mind, but then he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Uncle Lan, be careful," said Qin Yu, whose trust in Jiang Lan was close to absolute.

Jiang Lan smiled and nodded back at Qin Yu.

Then Qin Yu looked coldly at the Eight Great Saint Emperors and other Divine Kings, let out a snort, and flew to the side. Black-Robed Qin Yu moved to face the Asura God King, while Green-Robed Qin Yu also moved, flying closer to the Blood Sea Queen’s position.

******

The Divine Kings watching Qin Yu and Jiang Lan exchanged glances, guessing they must be communicating secretly. They originally thought Qin Yu would stop Jiang Lan from marching towards his own death. But to their surprise... Qin Yu actually stepped aside. It seemed Qin Yu was persuaded by Jiang Lan.

Jiang Fan and Zhou Huo exchanged glances.

"Brother Jiang Fan, is your second brother really planning to face us alone? Can you understand why?" Zhou Huo inquired of Jiang Fan through secret communication.

Jiang Fan shook his head.

"Perhaps, it is because one must take responsibility for one’s own matters. That’s the only explanation," Jiang Fan replied, doubting his own answer.

None of the many Divine Kings present could imagine that within the short ’half-day’, Jiang Lan had evolved from someone who had only mastered ’Time Acceleration’ to its limit, to a supreme expert who had comprehended ’Time Freeze’.

At that moment, Jiang Lan looked coldly at the Eight Great Saint Emperors and others, "You’re after the Earth Seal, aren’t you? If you have the capability, kill me, and you’ll naturally get the Earth Seal." Jiang Lan held the Luo Yu Saber in his hand, staring at the Divine Kings.

The Divine Kings communicated with each other through their divine sense and also kept an eye on Qin Yu.

At this moment, the main body, Black-Robed Qin Yu, was facing the Asura God King, while Green-Robed Qin Yu was close to the Blood Sea Queen.

"Brother Luo Fan, I don’t want to fight with you, so I hope you will not force me to come to blows," Qin Yu said to the Asura God King, communicating privately with his divine sense, "All you need to do is stand there and watch."

The Asura God King furrowed his brows slightly and glanced at Qin Yu.

Then, the Asura God King smiled.

"How can you be so confident about Jiang Lan?" the Asura God King taunted.

Qin Yu maintained his silence with a faint smile.

"Blood Sea Queen, I hope you don’t intervene in my Uncle Lan’s fight with those Divine Kings. If you don’t make a move, neither will I. But if you do, then I’ll have no choice but to act as well," Qin Yu sent a telepathic message to the Blood Sea Queen at the same time.

Meanwhile, the clone clad in a green robe, Green Robed Qin Yu, was staring intently at the Blood Sea Queen.

The Blood Sea Queen ’Xue Yun’ felt a surge of irritation. She was well aware of how formidable this clone was. Its physical strength was comparable to hers, and what’s more, it could use Instantaneous Movement! If it really came down to a fight, she would likely have her hands full.

"Hmph, even if I don’t make a move, your Uncle Lan is doomed," the Blood Sea Queen resentfully sent a telepathic message back.

"Then there’s no need for you to worry about it," Qin Yu replied.

Black Robed Qin Yu and Green Robed Qin Yu each held their ground against the two superpowerful opponents—the Asura God King and the Blood Sea Queen—while Jiang Lan faced the Eight Great Saint Emperors and a host of other Divine Kings. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Hesitation leads to disaster. Strike now!" Duanmu Yun sent the command telepathically.

The other seven Saint Emperors nodded in agreement.

And then...

The formidable formation of the Eight Great Saint Emperors suddenly dispersed, dividing into Huangfu Yu, Pu Tai Hong, Shen Tuyan, Tang Lan, and Mu Qin, the five Saint Emperors controlling the primal forces of the Five Elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, along with Jiang Fan, Duanmu Yun, and Zhou Huo, the other three Saint Emperors.

The Eight Great Saint Emperors split into two formations.

"Whoosh!"

The Eight Great Saint Emperors did not hesitate and immediately struck at Jiang Lan. Taking the lead was Huangfu Yu, who, with a wave of his hand, unleashed a Five-Colored Blade Light slicing towards Jiang Lan.

Jiang Fan, Duanmu Yun, and Zhou Huo also joined forces, with Zhou Huo in the lead, brandishing a hand to release twin sword-shaped Origin Powers at Jiang Lan.

"This Jiang Lan’s strength is much inferior to Qin Yu’s. A single hit is likely to seriously injure him. Once he’s injured, I can kill him directly," thought Huangfu Liu Xiang, a ruthless gleam in his eyes.

Not only Huangfu Liu Xiang, but nearly all other Divine Kings simultaneously flew up from the sides.

Instead of confronting Jiang Lan head-on, they circled around him in flight, waiting for him to get hurt. Once Jiang Lan was injured, they would swarm him and kill him to seize the Earth Seal.

"Playing the role of the fisherman waiting to reap the benefits?"

Jiang Lan let out a faint smile and, facing the incoming Five-Colored Blade Light, immediately rode the Luo Yu Saber, reaching extreme speeds, and flew past it in a curved arc to the side.

The Five-Colored Blade Light followed, turning in the air, its speed much faster than Jiang Lan’s. As Jiang Lan curved around, his trajectory took him directly toward a group of Divine Kings allied with the Ascenders.

These ordinary Divine Kings too were divided into factions, with those from the Ascenders gathering close together, while those from the Eight Divine Clans drew near one another.

"This is bad, Jiang Lan is coming this way!"

The Ascender faction Divine Kings like Ao Tung God King, Zi Xin God King, Yu Sha God King, Piao Miao God King, Pu Fa God King, Xun Yan God King, An Xun God King, Liu Lian God King, and Sun Lian God King, who were poised to take advantage, were all taken by surprise.

However, the Ascender faction Divine Kings soon grouped together, preparing to deal with Jiang Lan.

They weren’t worried—with so many Divine Kings from the Ascenders here, how could they fear Jiang Lan, who had only mastered ’Time Acceleration’ to its peak? Each of them wielded their own Spiritual Treasures.

"Whoosh!"

The Five-Colored Blade Light in the lead and the two sword energies trailing behind flew much faster than Jiang Lan. In an instant, they were about to hit him, while Jiang Lan was still tens of meters away from the group of Divine Kings of the Ascenders faction.

Ao Tung God King, Blood Demon Queen ’Yu Sha,’ and others only saw Jiang Lan’s lips move slightly.

Suddenly—

The world went silent in an instant. The wind stopped blowing, the floating clouds ceased to drift, and even the Five-Colored Blade Light and the twin sword energies launched by the Saints stopped in their tracks.

Furthermore... none of them could move!

Seeing the halted Five-Colored Blade Light and the twin sword energies—

"Time, Time Freeze..."

Jiang Fan was stunned.

Zhou Huo was stunned.

All the Eight Great Saint Emperors were shocked, and the ten Divine Kings of the Ascenders faction were stupefied. The Hidden God Kings watched this scene dumbfounded. Even Asura God King ’Luo Fan’ and the Blood Sea Queen ’Xue Yun,’ who were capable of ’Time Freeze,’ fell silent for a moment.

In the Divine World, another Divine King capable of ’Time Freeze’ had emerged!

The ten Divine Kings of the Ascender faction couldn’t move, but Jiang Lan, who had cast ’Time Freeze,’ could.

"Pfft—"

The blade light turned dim, tracing a beautiful arc through the sky.

Jiang Lan’s movements were elegantly effortless; with just a graceful swing of the Luo Yu Saber towards the crowd of the Ascender faction, he cut through them. Yet the Eight Great Saint Emperors instantly reacted. The power of the Origin surged forth, and at the same time, the energy from the ten Ascender faction Divine Kings exploded.

"Boom!"

The air began to flow again, and sound was restored. The Five-Colored Blade Light and the twin sword energies resumed their flight.

The Time Freeze had been broken.

Yet, in what was merely the blink of an eye during ’Time Freeze,’ four of the ten Divine Kings of the Ascenders faction had fallen, and one was severely injured. The Blood Demon Queen ’Yu Sha’ felt a wave of relief. Had the ’Time Freeze’ not been broken at the last moment, she would likely have died as well.

The bodies of the four fallen Divine Kings left trails of blood behind them in the air before plummeting powerlessly towards the ground below.

The four Divine Kings that Jiang Lan had killed were Ao Tung God King from the Blood Demon Mountain, An Xun God King from the Asura Sea, and Pu Fa God King and Xun Yan God King from the Double Domain Island.

"Little An!"

The Asura God King ’Luo Fan’ suddenly let out a roar of rage.

And facing Asura God King ’Luo Fan’ across the way, Black Robed Qin Yu’s gaze suddenly sharpened as he gripped the Residual Snow Divine Spear tightly in his right hand.
