Stellar Transformation-Chapter 666: Episode 18 - 31 The Heavenly Venerable Makes a Move
The purple-robed, silver-haired elder’s piercing gaze made the Blood Sea Queen’s heart tremble, and she particularly noticed the bright, seductive red birthmark at the center of the elder’s brow.
Having never seen the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate, the Blood Sea Queen did not know who the visitor was. However, the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate’s strange aura was enough to prevent the Blood Sea Queen from even thinking about resisting.
With a flick of his hand, the ’Ten Thousand People Seal’ that the Blood Sea Queen had snatched floated up and moved directly in front of the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate. His sharp eyes glanced at it, and he said with a light smile, "Ten Thousand People Seal... Little girl, you all fight over it, but alas, the owner of this Ten Thousand People Seal was destined long ago."
"Destined the owner?" The Blood Sea Queen was puzzled within, but she did not ask further.
Then the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate floated toward the relief channel of Heavenly Venerable Mountain, with the Ten Thousand People Seal also floating in front of him, heading toward the channel together.
Since the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate had patted her shoulder, the Blood Sea Queen realized she had been completely immobilized. Still, a sliver of hope lingered in her heart, "Constraint? Can he really prevent me from transforming into my true form?" The Blood Sea Queen had exceptional confidence in her true form, the ’Blood Sea’.
As the Blood Sea Queen tried to return to her true form, she felt a terrifyingly strong constraint around her body, so powerful that she could not even attempt to transform.
"How is this possible?" The Blood Sea Queen trembled with shock.
"Who, who is he?" The Blood Sea Queen couldn’t help but look in shock at the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate as he floated toward the relief channel.
The true form of the Blood Sea Queen was a blood sea spanning millions of miles, and the force needed to restrain the Blood Sea was astonishingly great. Yet this silver-haired elder had managed to bind her effortlessly.
With such a vast gap in strength, the Blood Sea Queen could only think of one possibility.
"Could it be, could it be a Heavenly Venerable?" The Blood Sea Queen could think of no one else with such power, aside from a Heavenly Venerable.
Legend had it that even the mightiest Divine King was but an insignificant creature before a Heavenly Venerable. It seemed the rumors were not unfounded.
When the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate, carrying the Ten Thousand People Seal, drew close to the relief channel, he turned to glance at the Asura God King ’Luo Fan’, who stood motionless in midair.
"Who, who are you?" The Asura God King ’Luo Fan’ was filled with endless shock. From the moment the purple-robed, silver-haired elder appeared, the Asura God King felt utterly bound by an immensely strong constraining power, unable to move at all, blinking and moving his mouth being all he could do.
The great Asura God King was bound without resistance, unaware of how the opponent had managed it. The opponent’s strength was, needless to say, terrifying.
"Dreaming of becoming a Heavenly Venerable? Luo Fan, it’s not so easy to become a Heavenly Venerable," said the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate with a faint smile as he stepped into the entrance of the relief channel.
Among the Holy Emperors, many had seen a Heavenly Venerable, but the Asura God King ’Luo Fan’ had only ever seen the Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerable. As for Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable and Piao Yu Heavenly Venerable, he had never seen them before.
"Could he be the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable, or the Piao Yu Heavenly Venerable?" Luo Fan shuddered at the thought.
Luo Fan suddenly remembered a time, sixty trillion years ago, at the finale of a contest for a Spiritual Treasure, where the Piao Yu Heavenly Venerable had secretly intervened, aiding the not strongest Xiao Yao God King, enabling him to become a Heavenly Venerable.
"Could it be the same as last time, that a Heavenly Venerable is intervening at the crucial moment?" Luo Fan felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.
When a Heavenly Venerable appeared, who the new Heavenly Venerable would be was no longer something Luo Fan and the others could decide.

Inside Zixuan Mansion, before the Inner Lake’s Water Curtain, many of Qin’s Disciples had their eyes wide open as they watched the silver-haired elder in a purple robe float into the Relief Channel. The Asura God King and the Blood Sea Queen couldn’t move a muscle in front of this elder.
"Dad, who is this old man? How is he so powerful?" Qin Si swallowed hard and couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.
"Third Brother, this silver-haired elder seems terrifyingly powerful." Qin Feng also exclaimed in astonishment. Everyone knew the position of the Asura God King in the Divine World. But now, in front of the silver-haired elder, the Asura God King seemed like a mere child.
Qin Yu’s eyes lit up as he watched the Water Curtain, and a faint smile even appeared on his face.
"So, the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate has finally made his move," Qin Yu murmured softly.
Qin Yu had met the Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate and he could roughly guess the identity of the Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate, but he had never seen the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate. When a super-expert he had never seen before appeared, Qin Yu naturally concluded it was the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate. Apart from him, Qin Yu couldn’t think of anyone else with such power.
"Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate!"
Jiang Lan exclaimed in shock, "Why would the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate take action?"
"Brother Jiang Lan, you say it’s the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate, do you know him?" Yi Feng was also surprised. The appearance of the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate had already made everyone in Zixuan Mansion watching the battle a bit tense, including the Divine Kings.
Jiang Lan nodded slightly, "Yes, years ago Jiang Fan and I had seen the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate once. I didn’t expect that the Ten Thousand People Seal would end up calling a Heavenly Venerable to the scene. It seems the owner of the Ten Thousand People Seal will ultimately be decided by the Heavenly Venerables."
"Oh, that may not necessarily be the case," Qin Yu’s voice chimed in.
Jiang Lan, Yi Feng, Zuo Qiulin, Hei Yu Ji, Jiang Li, and a large group of people around them looked at Qin Yu in surprise, wondering why he would say that.
Qin Yu, looking through the Water Curtain, saw the calm and confident manner of the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate. The Power of New Universe Space had long observed the reactions of the Divine Kings inside the Heavenly Venerable Mountain. Especially Jiang Fan, whose eyes clearly revealed sheer joy, a reaction Qin Yu could not be deceived by.
The appearance of the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate excited Jiang Fan so much. Coupled with that incident at the Northern Pole Holy Emperor Palace, where out of the blue, Jiang Fan had chosen Zhou Xian as his son-in-law. Qin Yu could naturally deduce the contents of the Zhou Family’s wedding gift list.
"No wonder, a First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure that would make Jiang Fan disregard my own First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure and choose Zhou Xian. It must be those parts of the Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure, those treasures that contain the opportunity to become a Heavenly Venerable."
"What would it be like for a man to fall from the peak of surprise to the abyss of despair?" Qin Yu wondered to himself. He then smiled faintly and quietly watched the scene unfolding within the Heavenly Venerable Mountain on the Water Curtain.

The rules of the Relief Channel could not even be violated by Heavenly Venerables.
The Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate was stepping through the Relief Channel, looking at the reliefs beside the channel with respect in his eyes. He didn’t dare to belittle those reliefs that ranged from simple to those containing the ’Dao’.
After exiting the Relief Channel.
The Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate stood even straighter, and his aura became even more piercing. The golden Ten Thousand People Seal still floated in front of him. His gaze sharp, he swept it over the surroundings.
There were quite a few Divine Kings floating in the air ahead, but at that moment, not one of them could move.
"Elder Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate!" Huangfu Yu exclaimed in shock.
Many of the Holy Emperors present were astonished; they had all seen Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate before. Now, witnessing his appearance, one could only imagine the tremors of awe in their hearts.
A trace of cold amusement played at the corners of Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable’s lips, and he felt somewhat disappointed in his heart, "I didn’t expect Qin Yu to abstain from vying for the Ten Thousand People Seal. If he were here, I could have taken the opportunity to kill him. It seems I must wait until a new Heavenly Venerable is born before I can kill him."
"Father."
Zhou Huo flew over from afar.
Among the more than twenty Divine Kings in Heavenly Venerable Mountain, only Zhou Huo, Zhou Xian, and Jiang Fan were not bound. Apart from them, the others were all restrained and unable to move.
Zhou Xian and Jiang Fan naturally followed and flew over as well.
When they were tens of meters away from Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate, Zhou Huo, Zhou Xian, and Jiang Fan stopped and respectfully saluted. Jiang Fan looked up at the Ten Thousand People Seal in front of Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate, and his gaze couldn’t help but become fervent.
The greater the sacrifice made, the more tense one’s heart becomes when finally obtaining the treasure. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
"The Ten Thousand People Seal, the Ten Thousand People Seal! It is finally mine," thought Jiang Fan, overwhelmed with a mix of sourness, excitement, pain, and exhilaration.
For the Ten Thousand People Seal, he had abandoned Qin Yu, his top choice for a son-in-law, and even his daughter, his own brother. Such a tremendous sacrifice was all for this day.
Today, he would have the most precious part of the three Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasures—the ’Ten Thousand People Seal’!
"I didn’t expect Elder Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate to take action personally. With Elder Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate acting, the ownership of the Ten Thousand People Seal is naturally for the elder to decide," said Huangfu Yu with a smile, although he was unable to move.
Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate looked at Huangfu Yu, as well as Pu Tai Hong, Mu Qin, and a group of other Holy Emperors, and nodded lightly with a faint smile.
He confidently thought that these Holy Emperors wouldn’t dare to play any tricks!
"Whoosh!"
The space vibrated with a twang, and the restraints on the other Holy Emperors disappeared abruptly; they could all move again. However, Huangfu Yu, Duanmu Rufen, Pu Tai Hong, and the others were very aware of their place and didn’t approach Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate. Instead, they saluted respectfully from a distance and then ceased to disturb him any further.
"Jiang Fan, the Ten Thousand People Seal should belong to you," said Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate with a light smile.
The Holy Emperors nearby couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy, but while they were envious, they all smiled and saluted, "Congratulations, Brother Jiang Fan."
"Congratulations, Brother Jiang Fan, for obtaining the Ten Thousand People Seal," Zhou Huo said with a smile beside him.
Jiang Fan’s face blossomed with joy, and he immediately saluted Zhou Huo and the Holy Emperors not far away, "Thank you, everyone, thank you." At that moment, the excitement in Jiang Fan’s heart was beyond words.
"Take the Ten Thousand People Seal," said Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate, flicking his hand.
The golden Ten Thousand People Seal immediately flew towards Jiang Fan. Zhou Huo and Zhou Xian beside him both wore smiles, while Jiang Fan’s hands trembled with excitement.
"Thank you, Elder Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate," Jiang Fan said again, reaching for the Ten Thousand People Seal flying towards him in the air.
When the Ten Thousand People Seal fell into his hands, Jiang Fan felt a sudden sense of calm settle in his heart; the seal’s material was somewhat cool to the touch. Yet in his palm, it brought a tranquil feeling to his heart.
"Finally, I have obtained it at last."
At that moment, Jiang Fan felt his eyes moistening involuntarily.
All the sacrifices and all the efforts he had made seemed worth it in the moment he seized the Ten Thousand People Seal. It was the happiest and most joyous moment for him since the day he openly sought a son-in-law.
But just at that moment—
"Stop!"
With a calm voice, the sound vanished in the region where Jiang Fan, Zhou Huo, Zhou Xian, and Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate were. Time suddenly froze to a stop.
Time Freeze!
Qin Yu, clad in a black robe, appeared out of thin air.
"Qin Yu!" the Holy Emperors, like Huangfu Yu, Duanmu Rufen, Mu Qin, Shen Tuyan, and others who were far away, were shocked. Nevertheless, they dared not intervene, nor did they wish to. With Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate present, there was no need for them to act.
"Qin Yu has made a move," thought Duanmu Yu, still unable to move, feeling somewhat surprised in his heart.
Not just the Divine Kings within Heavenly Venerable Mountain, but even those Divine Kings in Zixuan Mansion within Mist City and the Qin’s disciples all widened their eyes in astonishment. The same Qin Yu, who had been watching with them, had suddenly appeared in the midst of Heavenly Venerable Mountain.
"Qin Yu, you..." Jiang Fan felt he couldn’t move.
"Jiang Fan, this Ten Thousand People Seal now belongs to me."
Qin Yu’s voice echoed in Jiang Fan’s mind, while Qin Yu himself promptly and decisively reached for the Ten Thousand People Seal in Jiang Fan’s hand and grasped it firmly.
Jiang Fan felt a deep sense of unwillingness in his heart, but under Time Freeze, he couldn’t even speak, let alone move.
To get the Ten Thousand People Seal, Jiang Fan had given up so much. That seal could be considered the lifeblood of Jiang Fan.
"No—" Jiang Fan roared in his heart with indignation.
Yet the Ten Thousand People Seal still wound up in Qin Yu’s hands. As it disappeared from Jiang Fan’s hand, he felt as if his heart had been torn apart, the pain reaching an excruciating point.
All his calculations had come to nothing in the end!
