Stellar Transformation-Chapter 661: Volume 18 - 26 Retreat

"Huh!"

The Divine Kings from the Eight Divine Clans also began to rapidly flee in all directions, while several Hidden God Kings who had been following them with the intention of taking advantage of the chaos saw the Ascenders and Divine Kings of the Eight Divine Clans escaping far away. Witnessing Jiang Lan’s swiftly approaching figure, these Kings hurriedly scattered to evade as well.

In the blink of an eye, there was not a single Divine King near Jiang Lan.

"It should have been like this from the start," Zhou Huo expressed with a trace of joy on his face as he suddenly unleashed a sword beam that contained three types of Origin Power, sending three consecutive strikes soaring towards Jiang Lan.

Huangfu Yu, the leader of the Five Holy Emperors who formed the Five Elements Formation, wore a layer of frost on his face, his gaze fixed on Jiang Lan in the distance. "Jiang Lan, I want you dead!"

In his heart, Huangfu Yu was filled with nothing but the intent to kill, especially since Jiang Lan had just killed his sister.

Huangfu Yu waved his hand coldly—

Unleashing three five-colored blade lights in one motion, this was the extreme attack of the Five Holy Emperors. The three rapidly flying blade lights headed straight for Jiang Lan.

The three sword beams and the three five-colored blade lights attacked Jiang Lan from two directions, their speed far exceeding Jiang Lan’s flying speed. With the Divine Kings now far from Jiang Lan, he had no time to deal with other Kings.

"This is not good."

Qin Yu frowned slightly upon seeing this. "Uncle Lan is rather proud at heart. It’s better to wait until he can hardly hold out before rescuing him." Suppressing the urge, Qin Yu did not take immediate action.

Jiang Lan faced the combined attack of the three sword beams and the three five-colored blade lights.

"Time Acceleration!"

Instead, Jiang Lan slightly sped up the sword beams and blade lights. These six attacks, three sword beams and three blade lights, each had a different duration of time acceleration.

This led to the six attacks, originally supposed to strike Jiang Lan simultaneously, occurring in succession. When the first blade light neared Jiang Lan—

"Bang!"

Time Freeze!

Jiang Lan once again deployed "Time Freeze," then without delay controlled the Luo Yu Saber to cleave through the blade light, causing the five-colored blade light to dissipate explosively. Jiang Lan himself moved far away, but the outbreak of Origin Power shattered the Time Freeze.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

With consecutive explosions, Jiang Lan within the span of a finger snap, used the Luo Yu Saber to break through the five attacks in a row.

"Pfft!"

Jiang Lan suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, his complexion as pale as paper.

Even though Jiang Lan had applied "Time Acceleration" to the five attacks to create a sequence, sparing him from facing all the strikes at once, he was still severely wounded.

How could the might of Origin Power be so easily resisted?

Even in possession of a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, even with a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure for protection, Jiang Lan was still severely injured from the combined attack of the Eight Great Saint Emperors.

"The strength of the Eight Great Saint Emperors is indeed formidable. Without a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, even a Divine King who has mastered Time Freeze would be no match for them," Qin Yu silently marveled.

Zhou Huo, Huangfu Yu, and others continued to attack relentlessly.

Several more five-colored blade lights and sword beams were sent flying. The terrifying fluctuations of Origin Power were palpable to Jiang Lan even before making contact. The attack power was too overwhelming.

"Uncle Lan, do you need my help?" Qin Yu couldn’t help but send a message via Divine Sense.

"No need," came Jiang Lan’s very decisive reply.

Anxiously, Qin Yu clenched his fists tightly as the ordinary Kings each fled far away, observing the battle from a distance through Divine Sense.

Without the encumbrance of these Kings, the Eight Great Saint Emperors attacked without any restraint.

And Jiang Lan was no longer able to slay any Kings.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

With each block by the Luo Yu Saber, Jiang Lan’s complexion turned a shade paler; after blocking three times, his face had become unprecedentedly dim and ashen. However, there were six attacks in total, and Jiang Lan had only blocked three.

Huangfu Yu and the rest had a cruel smile on their faces, while Jiang Fan’s heart was very conflicted.

No matter what...

Jiang Lan was still his younger brother, Jiang Fan.

"Huh!"

Without regard for what Uncle Lan might be thinking, Qin Yu immediately moved Jiang Lan next to himself by harnessing the Power of Universe Space.

"Where is he?"

Zhou Huo, Duanmu Yun, Huangfu Yu, and others who were watching Jiang Lan about to die suddenly saw him vanish and looked around in all directions.

The Eight Great Saint Emperors then saw Jiang Lan beside Qin Yu.

"Little Yu, thanks," Jiang Lan said to Qin Yu with a faint smile. Then with a flip of his hand, he fetched a Spirit Pill and swallowed it. His injuries were healing at an incredibly fast rate.

*****

The mist enveloped the outskirts of Mist City. Within this endless fog, the Eight Great Saint Emperors could vaguely be seen standing in midair, their robes billowing, side by side, casting a cold gaze towards Qin Yu and Jiang Lan.

"Jiang Lan, hand over the Earth Seal!" Zhou Huo, among the Eight Great Saint Emperors, demanded furiously.

Qin Yu’s face was devoid of any smile, icy to the extreme, his gaze like icy blades sweeping across the Eight Great Saint Emperors. "Hand over the Earth Seal? Zhou Huo, aren’t you a little too confident? Do you really believe that you Eight Saint Emperors are invincible?"

The Eight Great Saint Emperors were indeed a source of headache for Qin Yu.

Their Clan Guardian Treasures could be used for both attack and defense, not only protecting their bodies but also their souls. Qin Yu had once attacked a Holy Emperor with the Residual Snow Divine Spear, and even the Residual Snow Divine Spear could hardly kill a Holy Emperor in one strike.

With the Residual Snow Divine Spear, the first strike would gravely injure a Holy Emperor, and the second strike could kill.

But now it wasn’t just one Holy Emperor; it was eight. For Qin Yu to confront the eight gathered Saint Emperors was indeed very challenging.

"Qin Yu, can you withstand our attacks?" Zhou Huo sneered, his voice filled with contempt that ran deep, as Qin Yu had killed the other three Kings of Thunder Punishment City, making their enmity as deep as the sea.

"Ridiculous."

Qin Yu glanced at the Eight Great Saint Emperors with indifference, "I can perform Instantaneous Movement and easily dodge your attacks. What about you? Under my assault, you won’t die, but you’ll be seriously injured."

"The Eight Great Saint Emperors united in a great formation, how could you possibly break through their defense?" Zhou Huo, the leader, was brimming with confidence.

Qin Yu was slightly taken aback.

Suddenly, Qin Yu realized that once the Eight Great Saint Emperors joined forces, the eight Origin Powers complement each other. Not only did their attack power greatly increase, but their defense had also become much stronger. He guessed that if the Eight Great Saint Emperors set up their formation, even if he attacked while they just stood there, he would likely have a hard time injuring them.

"Oh, worthy of being the Eight Great Saint Emperors, you do have some skills," Qin Yu said with a mocking laugh.

Then Duanmu Yun spoke, "Qin Yu, it’s good that you understand. Quickly have Jiang Lan hand over the Earth Seal, and we’ll let today’s matter slide. Otherwise... we will—"

"Otherwise, what will you do? Tell me, I’m very curious," Qin Yu said, looking at the Eight Great Saint Emperors fearlessly.

The Eight Great Saint Emperors were brought up short.

They all knew that Qin Yu could perform Instantaneous Movement under ’Frozen Space’! But they were unable to do the same. So even if their attack power was astonishing, how could they harm Qin Yu?

"Qin Yu," Zhou Huo stepped forward and said angrily, "If you don’t hand over the Earth Seal, our Eight Great Saint Emperors’ ’One Breath Eight Elements’ formation will directly bombard Mist City and reduce both it and your Zixuan Mansion to ashes."

Qin Yu’s eyes narrowed, a cold light leaking from the slits.

"Boom!"

An immense force of the New Universe Space suddenly bound each of the Eight Great Saint Emperors, wrapping around them like ropes, leaving them unable to move.

"You’re seeking your own deaths," Qin Yu said coldly.

The complexions of the Eight Great Saint Emperors changed drastically as they all felt unable to move. Without a moment’s hesitation, all eight simultaneously used a special secret technique of their Clan Guardian Treasure.

"Hum~~~"

Qin Yu could feel a tremor through the heavens and the earth of the Divine World, and a terrifying force burst forth from the bodies of the Eight Great Saint Emperors. The power of the New Universe Space that had bound them was suddenly breached.

Above the heads of the Eight Great Saint Emperors, eight Spiritual Pearls rotated nimbly, a terrifying Origin Power piercing through the heavens and the earth.

The Eight Great Spirit Beads had somehow fully connected with the cosmic Origin, and Qin Yu’s Power of the New Universe, facing the Origin of this native universe, simply didn’t have enough strength to suppress it.

"Eh, the Eight Great Saint Emperors really live up to their name, possessing some real ability," Qin Yu said, his eyes brightening before he vanished into thin air.

"Wait!"

Huangfu Yu suddenly shouted loudly.

Qin Yu reappeared right beside the Eight Great Saint Emperors, holding the Residual Snow Divine Spear as he looked at Huangfu Yu, "Huangfu Yu, I owe you a favor. Say it, what do you want?"

Huangfu Yu forced out a slight smile at Qin Yu, "Qin Yu, let’s both take a step back, shall we?"

"Take a step back?" Qin Yu was puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"

Huangfu Yu exchanged glances with Duanmu Yun and the others, then he said to Qin Yu with a smile, "Here’s the deal, we won’t demand the Earth Seal from Jiang Lan anymore. However, Jiang Lan must promise not to compete for the Ten Thousand People Seal, how about it?"

Qin Yu was annoyed in his heart.

"At most, it’d be like the Asura God King. Uncle Lan has promised you that from today until a new Heavenly Venerable is born, he will not set foot inside the inner sanctum of Heavenly Venerable Mountain again," Qin Yu said coldly.

Huangfu Yu and the others shook their heads.

They could not accept this offer. If it were so, even if one of them obtained the Ten Thousand People Seal, Jiang Lan could still wait outside the Relief Channel to compete for it.

"You do this to the Asura God King, and now to my Uncle Lan too. Do you look down on me, look down on my Uncle Lan?" Murderous intent enveloped Qin Yu.

"Little Yu, agree to it," came Jiang Lan’s voice.

"Agree?" Qin Yu turned to look at Uncle Lan, not quite understanding why they should yield. Qin Yu was not afraid of these Eight Great Saint Emperors at all. If it came to a fight, who would be afraid?

Could the Eight Great Saint Emperors wish to destroy his Mist City, yet he couldn’t destroy Thunder Punishment City, Flame Mountain, Bibo Lake, and other Holy Lands?

Jiang Lan gave Qin Yu a slight smile, then looked towards the Eight Great Saint Emperors and scanned the Holy Emperors, "I, Jiang Lan, hereby swear to heaven and earth that as long as the Holy Emperors no longer disturb me and the people of Mist City, I will not compete for the Ten Thousand People Seal."

Zhou Huo and the others exchanged glances, and eventually fell silent as they flew away one by one. From this confrontation with Qin Yu, those Divine Kings and Holy Emperors had come to understand clear as day—

Mist City was inviolable!

This side of Mist City, with the presence of Qin Yu and Jiang Lan, both of whom were super experts, could not be troubled even if the Eight Great Saint Emperors came together. It was clear to everyone that the strongest force in the Divine World was no longer the Asura Sea nor the Eight Great Holy Lands, but Mist City!

This battle had solidified Mist City’s status!

Qin Yu and Jiang Lan simply watched as the Eight Great Saint Emperors and the various Divine Kings in the distance each took their leave.

"They’ve finally gone," Qin Yu said with a smile.

"There are still some who have not left," remarked Jiang Lan, looking towards two individuals nearby. The Asura God King ’Luo Fan’ and the Blood Sea Queen ’Xue Yun’ had not departed.

Asura God King ’Luo Fan’ cast a deep glance at Jiang Lan, his eyes holding a hint of murderous intent, but Luo Fan eventually turned around and floated away. As for the Blood Sea Queen ’Xue Yun,’ she flew towards Qin Yu.

"Qin Yu," the Blood Sea Queen looked at Qin Yu, "the Ten Thousand People Seal—I hope you won’t compete with me for it."

In the Blood Sea Queen’s heart, with both Jiang Lan and Asura God King not entering the Heavenly Venerable Mountain, wouldn’t the Ten Thousand People Seal be hers? Yet, she still harbored apprehensions about Qin Yu.

"Why should I?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.

The Blood Sea Queen coldly said, "On the grounds of the promise I made with you—I spared Hong Yun and Zixia’s lives, and you agreed not to interfere with my quest for the Ten Thousand People Seal."

"Alright, I will absolutely not obstruct your competition for the Ten Thousand People Seal. But if you lack the strength to vie for it, then it’s only right for me to make a move," Qin Yu replied with a smile.

The Blood Sea Queen snorted coldly, yet deep down, she was satisfied with Qin Yu’s response.

In the Blood Sea Queen’s perspective, with Asura God King, Jiang Lan, and Qin Yu all not competing against her, there was no way she couldn’t obtain the Ten Thousand People Seal.

"Blood Sea Queen, I’ve agreed to this matter, but I also want to ask you something... Last time, you initially threatened me with Zixia and Hong Yun’s lives to demand a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, but why did you suddenly give up?" Qin Yu had always been puzzled by this question.
