Chapter 26 – A Battle

Qin Yu's body suddenly stopped. He stared at Ao Ku who was outside the door.

He saw Ao Ku and then took a glance over at Bai Feng up in the air; immediately, an idea came into Qin Yu's mind. Could it be that Zong Jue deliberately brought people over to deal with him?

"Young master Zong Jue, you are the future pillar support of our Bird Clan; as the second Golden Winged Great Peng Bird, how could you do, how could you dare... disobey His Majesty's order. You actually futilely attempted to deliver Bai Xin to Hei Yu and them." Coldly said Bai Feng in the air.

Zong Jue's current complexion turned somewhat ugly.

"Lords Bai Feng and Ao Ku." Zong Jue straightened his waist and looked to the two. "When His Majesty wanted to kill Hei Yu, you two were at that time also supporting his decision. And at that time, I have already told you all that... behind Hei Yu and his two brothers was a mysterious expert. Hei Yu must not be killed. However you all didn't believe me. Fine... in the future, when you all regret your decision, you'd best not blame me."

After Zong Jue said those words, he turned around.

"Young master Zong Jue, you're trying to leave already?" Said Bai Feng coldly.

Zong Jue immediately turned around; he stared at Bai Feng with an extremely cold expression. "Bai Feng, could it be that you want to kill me?" Zong Jue's voice was very loud. His grandeur overshadowed Bai Feng's with a single voice. Zong Jue then took a glance at Ao Ku. "If you two dare to kill me, then come and kill me!"

After Zong Jue finished saying those words, without caring for the other two, he turned into a ray of light and flew toward the horizon.

Bai Feng and Ao Ku looked at Zong Jue leave like that but did not bother to obstruct him from leaving.

Super Divine Beast Golden Winged Great Peng Birds were extremely precious to the Bird Clan. Their status was extremely precious. Furthermore, Zong Jue was neither a Phoenix Super Divine Beast or a Seven Colored Peacock Super Divine Beast. He was a Golden Winged Great Peng Bird, a Super Divine Beast from the strongest clan of the Bird Clan, the Peng Clan.

Even if the Peng Demon Emperor wanted to kill Zong Jue, he would still have to give out a good enough justification.

As for Bai Feng, Ao Ku and them, the most they could do is criticize Zong Jue. Kill? The two of them did not have the courage to do such a thing nor do they have the power.

"Humph." Bai Feng humphed coldly. Zong Jue's disrespectfulness toward her caused her to be awfully unhappy.

Immediately after, Bai Feng and Ao Ku's attention turned to Qin Yu, Hou Fei and Hei Yu. Although they do not dared to kill Zong Jue, they still dared to kill Qin Yu and Hei Yu. As for Hou Fei... as they knew of Hou Fei's standings, they also didn't dare to casually kill him. They both knew that behind Hou Fei stood the Great Ape Emperor who even the Peng Demon Emperor had to take into consideration.

...

Qin Yu felt that the power in his entire body was boiling. It's been a thousand years now. In this entire thousand years, Qin Yu had not truly fought to the death before. Qin Yu had fought through battles after battles since youth, even his blood contained within it an addiction to battles.

"Fei Fei, Xiao Hei, they're two level eight Demon Emperors. They're about enough for us to test out our strength." Qin Yu's voice contained within it some excitement.

Hou Fei licked his lips. His eyes started to shine. He shot a glance at Ao Ku and then glanced at Bai Feng. As for Hei Yu, he was looking at Ao Ku with an enormous amount of killing intent. That's because Ao Ku was still holding Bai Xin in his hand.

"Big brother, I'm already tired of waiting." Hou Fei held his Black Stick in his left hand. As for his right hand, it was unceasingly opening and closing. His two fiery eyes were firmly staring at his opponents.

"Oh, pretty courageous." Bai Feng sneered.

Ao Ku figure moved and arrived beside Bai Feng. He was still holding Bai Xin in his hand. Everyone understood that with Ao Ku's strength, he would be able to kill Bai Xin easily with merely an intention. Bai Xin's gaze was on Hei Yu the entire time. "Little Yu."

"Elder sister Bai Xin, I will definitely save you." Hei Yu's entire body's muscles were trembling. He said resolutely.

"Brat, you're dreaming." Ao Ku's hoarse voice sounded.

And right at this moment, Qin Yu and his brothers all sensed that the space was oscillating. In merely a moment later, more than a dozen people have arrived on the airspace above the courtyard. Those people all respectfully said simultaneously. "Paying our respect to the two lords."

"You all are to bring Bai Xin back into the Imperial City."

Ao Ku threw Bai Xin to the leader amongst the group that came. The leader amongst the group immediately received Bai Xin. The current Bai Xin appeared to be under a restriction. She was surprisingly motionless. Ao Ku's hoarse voice sounded once again. "We do not need you all here anymore, you can go."

"Yes, milord."

These over a dozen people disappeared from Qin Yu and his brother's scope of view in merely a moment later.

"Big brother." Hei Yu sent a voice transmission to Qin Yu. "I'll chase over and save Sis Bai Xin."

"Don't be impetuous." Qin Yu immediately stopped Hei Yu. Qin Yu was very certain that for these two great experts to dare give Bai Xin to their subordinates in front of them, this signified that they have enough certainty... that they would be able to make Qin Yu and them unable to easily save Bai Xin.

"Qin Yu, Hou Fei, Hei Yu; is that right?" Bai Feng lightly smiled and said. "You do not have to look over anymore, it's impossible for you all to save Bai Xin. I know of Ao Ku's temperament, he always does his work with a backup. At this moment, Bai Xin most definitely has Ao Ku's energy in her body. Even if you all managed to save her, Ao Ku would still make her self detonate in merely a moment."

Ao Ku slightly nodded.

Hei Yu's expression slightly changed. Sure enough, that was the case.

"Qin Yu, it was said that you've once wiped out all of the Immortal Emperors underneath Emperor Yu. However, I am not convinced that a little brat like you who've only ascended a couple hundred years ago would be that powerful. " Ao Ku have been staring at Qin Yu the entire time. "For you to dare to come to the Black Crow Star, you must have the awareness of death."

After he finished, Ao Ku's body's entire aura started to rise.

"Fei Fei, Xiao Hei, this guy with a broken voice is mine. You two take care of that woman." Said Qin Yu with a clear voice. "Let's compete and see who defeats our enemy first."

"Sure."

Hou Fei and Hei Yu spoke in unison. At the same time, a several thousand foot tall gigantic ape mirage appeared behind Hou Fei's back. That giant ape appeared to be howling to the sky. Soon after, the mirage of the gigantic ape disappeared in a flash. At the same time, golden colored hair appeared on Hou Fei's body and his lips turned purple.

Ice-cold black feathers immediately appeared on Hei Yu's body. Each and every feather appeared like black iron as they flickered with a metallic radiance. Between his brows was a black feather scale.

Battle form!

Hou Fei and Hei Yu simultaneously entered their battle forms. One of them held a long Black Stick and the other held a long Black Spear.

"Haha, several juniors." Ao Ku's hoarse voice was filled with disdain. Bai Feng who was up in the air also had a face filled with indifference. She did not bother to care about Hou Fei and Hei Yu at all. That's because she had discovered that Hou Fei was only a level six Demon Emperor and Hei Yu was only a level five Demon Emperor. Even if they were Super Divine Beasts, they were still somewhat inferior compared to her.

On Qin Yu's legs were blue colored trousers. On his body was an extremely skintight blue shirt. They were created through his sixth stage of Nine Steps Force Energy. To the current Qin Yu, Top Quality Immortal Armor was completely useless. As for Divine Armor... he didn't have any.

"Guy with the broken voice, enough of the rubbish talk." Qin Yu's gaze was fixed on Ao Ku.

Ao Ku's brows creased. His dry and rough lips slightly opened. "I dislike others saying that I have a broken voice." After he finished saying that, a gigantic spiked club appeared in his hand. Following a curve, as if he had teleported, he arrived beside Qin Yu in an instant.

[TL: spiked club is called wolf tooth club in chinese.]

An attack!

"Go!" Hou Fei shot straight toward the sky at a rapid speed. At the same time, he brazenly raised his Black Stick high up and smashed it toward Bai Feng. As for Hei Yu, he flew with a weird trajectory and, with a speed even faster than that of Hou Fei's, arrived behind Bai Feng and started to attack.

Qin Yu against Ao Ku.

Hou Fei and Hei Yu against Bai Feng.

The battle had started!

Ao Ku's spiked club strike was extremely heavy. Furthermore, this spiked club was a Divine Weapon. Even though it was merely a Low Quality Divine Weapon, but because of the fact that it was extremely heavy, Ao Ku had decided to pick this spiked club as his weapon and gave Bai Feng the other Mid Quality Divine Long Sword.

Against the incoming strike from the spiked club, Qin Yu stood motionless and was firmly staring at the spiked club.

"Courting death." Ao Ku sneered in his heart. He began to pour even more of his Demon Elemental Energy into the spiked club. He wanted to kill Qin Yu with a single club strike.

Qin Yu's figure slightly moved a couple centimeters. The spiked club that was originally going to land on Qin Yu's chest instead landed on Qin Yu's left arm. At this moment, Qin Yu brazenly used his left arm like a clamp and clamped the spiked club between his arm and body.

"Ah?" Ao Ku was filled with astonishment.

The spiked club's strike was so valiant, how could it be so easily clamped by Qin Yu? Logically, Qin Yu ought to be smashed to pieces.

"Humph. If you don't enter your battle form, then you're not even capable of breaking my bones." Qin Yu sneered in his heart. His right hand, containing within it an endless amount of power, ruthlessly smashed forward. Ao Ku's spiked club was still being clamped. He was simply unable to dodge in time. Qin Yu's punch landed firmly on his chest.

The sound of bones breaking sounded. Blood came splashing.

Ao Ku was knocked flying backwards. While he was flying backwards, the injuries on his body was also being rapidly recovered. At the same time, the spiked club had suddenly turned small and flew directly back into Ao Ku's hand.

"Boom!"

An extremely vague stick silhouette was seen. As if emerging from hell, it suddenly smashed onto Bai Feng's waist. Bai Feng's figure was sent flying rapidly downwards and smashed violently against the ground. Upon hitting the ground, several tens of enormous cracks appeared on the surface of the ground. Bai Feng's entire person had already sunk into deep into the underground to the subterranean level.

"Haha, stupid woman. If you do not enter your battle form, then against you, only myself will be enough." Shouted Hou Fei complacently with his hands on his waist.

If level eight Demon Emperor Bai Feng was not to enter her battle form, then she was still not a match against Hou Fei using the Heavenly Startling Nine Stick Strikes! After all, Hou Fei who was a level six Demon Emperor using the Heaven Startling Nine Stick Strikes, was comparable in fighting power to a level eight Demon Emperor in their battle form.

For the first exchange, Qin Yu and his brothers had complete dominance.

"Boom!" A ray of white light shot out from the underground. It immediately arrived beside Ao Ku. That white light turned into a woman. That woman's entire body was covered in white colored feathers. Only the top of her head was covered in a layer of red feathers. Bai Feng...had entered battle form.

Ao Ku was however firmly staring at Qin Yu, and his hoarse voice rang out. "I didn't think that you would be this strong."

"Trying to pulverize my body with a mere Low Quality Divine Weapon? With only that measly amount of power, how could it possibly be able to?" Qin Yu said with a light smile. The toughness of his bones were at a level close to that of Divine Artifacts; for a single Low Quality Divine Weapon to try to break through his body, it was a very difficult task.

The sixth stage of the 'Nine Steps Dark Gold Body' was still nothing great; the seventh stage would allow one's body to become comparable to that of a Low Quality Divine Weapon. If one was to reach the eighth stage, then no matter how much a Low Quality Divine Weapon attacks, it would still be unable to break through the body. It was so strong that the Low Quality Divine Weapon might itself break apart.

"Tsk tsk~~~" Black dragon scales appeared on Ao Ku's entire body. A black horn appeared on his forehead. Two enormous feathered wings appeared on his back. At the same time, a dragon tail grew on his pelvis.

Qin Yu, Hou Fei and Hei Yu were all stunned.

"What kind of battle form is this?" The three of them were all astonished. Even the Dragon Clan's battle form do not possess a dragon tail. As for the Bird Clan, when they enter battle form, they also usually would not grow wings.

From Hei Yu to Bai Feng, neither of their battle forms have wings.

Ao Ku's extremely tall body stood straight. His arm that was covered with dragon scales held within it a spiked club. His enormous feathered wings were slowly moving up and down. His dragon tail was also unceasingly swaying about. A valiant aura caused Qin Yu to become alert.

"Ao Ku, these three brats actually possesses some skill. Let's settle this matter quickly by going all out." Said Bai Feng quietly.

"I know." Ao Ku nodded.

Suddenly —

Bai Feng and Ao Ku who have entered their battle forms charged at Qin Yu and his brothers with a rapid speed. Old rules; Ao Ku charged toward Qin Yu whereas Bai Feng charged toward Hou Fei.

...

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" ...

With his two feathered wings, Ao Ku's speed was extremely fast. His spiked club had turned into a blur. As for Qin Yu, he was also flashing unceasingly like Ao Ku. Again and again, they would ram into each other frighteningly and Ao Ku would again and again spray blood out from his mouth. His eyes had also turned more and more crimson red.

"Fuck, this brat isn't scared of death!"

Ao Ku once again had his dantian area smashed by Qin Yu's fist. It's just that, through the dampening caused by the dragon scales, Qin Yu's fist at most only managed to jolt his bones. Furthermore, Ao Ku's dense energy had already removed Qin Yu's attack energy from his dantian area.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Qin Yu had just dodged that spiked club but the dragon tail landed on his body. Qin Yu was knocked back several meters.

"If that spiked club attacked with full power, it is capable of breaking my bones. Although this dragon tail is unable to break my bones, but its power was also quite strong." Qin Yu had a fierce expression on his face. "I should have confused him by now. Time to use my Divine Weapon."

Divine Sword Sky Piercer!

With Qin Yu's current strength, he was able to display an enormous amount of power using the Divine Sword Sky Piercer.

"Bang!" Qin Yu forcibly blocked the spiked club a single arm. With a kacha sound, the bones in his left arm ruptured.

"Bang!" At the same time, Qin Yu's right fist smashed upon Ao Ku's abdomen.

Abruptly, the Divine Sword Sky Piercer appeared! Qin Yu held Sky Piercer in his hand; his sixth stage of 'Nine Steps Dark Gold Body' containing the astonishing Dinosaur Power exploded out. With a single sword strike, he directly pierced through the dragon scales and was about to pierce the dantian area if he stretched out a bit more!

But Qin Yu was not able to pierce through.

Ao Ku's dragon tail had wrapped itself around Qin Yu's right arm and not allowing him to pierce any bit further.

Ao Ku's eyes looked at Qin Yu fiercely. He said via voice transmission. "As I already know that you are brothers with Hou Fei and Hei Yu, so how could I not know that in the Mortal Realm you have obtained Divine Artifacts from Ni Yang's Realm? Brat, I knew that you had this trick up your sleeve the entire time. I have waited a long time; moreover...my Nascent Soul is not located in my dantian; even if you managed to pierce through it, it would still be of no use."

Chapter 27 – Delaying For Time

Right when Qin Yu was shocked —

"Die!" Ao Ku had a face filled with malevolence; he held his spiked club with his two hands and started to increase his strength once again. Ruthlessly, he smashed down the spiked club onto Qin Yu's head. Wherever the spiked club passed, the space started to warp.

"Bang!"

Qin Yu's arm firmly blocked the incoming strike. The spiked club that contained within it Ao Ku's endless amount of Demon Elemental Energy caused Qin Yu's arm's bone to start to crack. Qin Yu knew that the situation was bad and immediately flew backwards.

The two of them separated once again.

On the contrary, Ao Ku strangely did not chase after Qin Yu. Instead, he merely stood there and looked at Qin Yu. His pair of dead fish eyes was fixed on Qin Yu. His hoarse voice sounded. "Qin Yu, I truly never expected for your body to be so tough. According to the information that came from Zong Jue, you've merely ascended to the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm a couple hundred years ago. Who would've thought that... you've already achieved such a level in a mere couple hundred years. Your talent is truly the best amongst the people that I have came across."

Qin Yu looked at Ao Ku who stood in front of him and began to ponder rapidly.

Killing Ao Ku truly was hard.

This Ao Ku's Demon Elemental Energy was truly too strong. Numerous times, his fists landed on Ao Ku's body. However, their energy was offsetted by Ao Ku's Demon Elemental Energy. Furthermore, Ao Ku's Divine Weapon, the spiked club's strength was something that cannot be left unblocked.

"Seems like I can only rely on my Divine Sword Sky Piercer and my Sky Piercing Finger!" A cold flash shined across Qin Yu's eyes. With the sixth stage Nine Steps Force's power and using the Black Hole to speed up, the Sky Piercing Finger's power ought to be able to injure Ao Ku.

Right when Qin Yu was about to attack —

"Bang!"

Bai Feng crashed into the ground with a rapid speed; splitting open the ground that she smashed onto. The crater extended over several tens of miles. However, in the blink of an eye, Bai Feng once again flew back into the sky.

"Gaga, eat another one of your grandfather's stick strikes!" Hou Fei's arrogant voice resounded through the heaven and earth. At the same time, a countless amount of stick silhouettes covered the heaven and earth. From all directions, they came at Bai Feng.

Bai Feng had an extreme headache.

She actually had a special move. As her true form is that of a Phoenix Tail Crane, there was a special finishing move in her Inherited Memory — Phoenix Tail Needle. The Phoenix Tail Needle was extremely strong that even Ao Ku would have to be extremely careful of it. However, Bai Feng knew of Hou Fei's status and didn't dare to use that move.

To not use her special finishing move and be confronted with Hou Fei's stick silhouettes that filled the entire sky, Bai Feng could only feel vexed as she get trampled on by Hou Fei.

"Pfff!"

As if the space have been pierced through, the Long Black Spear have instantly arrived in front of Bai Feng.

"Humph, Hei Yu? Fine, I'll vent my anger out on you." Bai Feng who have been trampled upon by Hou Fei the entire time suddenly changed her gaze to Hei Yu who have always been in the surrounding and would occasionally and suddenly attack her.

A gorgeous red ray was shot out from Bai Feng's body. It was directly shot toward Hei Yu's abdomen!

Bai Feng's special finishing move — Phoenix Tail Needle!

Hei Yu's expression took a huge change. His figure murely shifted downwards several tens of centimeters. "Tsk tsk ~~." That gorgeous red ray was shot at the black feather battle armor on Hei Yu's body.

The Black Scaled Battle Armor was created through overlapping layers upon layers of feathers. That red ray appeared to be extremely hot, it burned away three four layers of Hei Yu's Black Scaled Battle Armor's feathers at once.

"Puchi!" That red ray had already entered into Hei Yu's body.

"Xiao Hei." Qin Yu who noticed this scene was greatly alarmed..

"Mixed Hair Bird!" Hou Fei was also greatly alarmed. He have never expected that Bai Feng who was being trampled upon by him the entire time actually had such a powerful attack that penetrated even Hei Yu's battle armor that was almost as powerful as a Divine Armor.

"You with the white feathers, if you have the skills, come and attack me." As if he had turned mad, Hou Fei started to radiate a dazzling golden shine. His Black Stick had turned to twice of its original length.

"Golden Abyss!" Bai Feng's expression changed. Divine Armor 'Golden Abyss,' a treasure that the Great Ape Emperor possessed. She did not expect that the Great Ape Emperor had actually given that to Hou Fei.

With the Golden Abyss, even if Bai Feng used her Phoenix Tail Needle to attack Hou Fei, she would still be unable to succeed. That is because after all, Hou Fei was a level six Demon Emperor Super Divine Beast; his strength was merely a bit weaker than Bai Feng's.

The Black Stick frantically came smashing down. Each smash was extremely exquisite.

As for defense?

Hou Fei had completely given up defense, all he knew was attacking.

"The attacks from the clan of the Great Ape Emperor are truly frantic. He even has the Divine Armor Golden Abyss for defense. Furthermore, I cannot kill that Hou Fei either. This is truly a difficult and annoying battle!" Bai Feng felt extremely grudged in her heart.

...

The Black Crow City was extremely wide. However currently, with the residence of Qin Yu and his two brothers as the center, an area of a hundred meters around them has turned into a death zone. The battle they had started just recently had already caused the death of several thousands of people and injured several tens of thousands. As for the other people, they have already hid themselves and taken shelter.

At this moment, several million people were on the sky and ground. They were watching from the sidelines from far far away.

A stick silhouette soared to the sky like a long dragon. Like planets were colliding into each other, a wave of collisions sounded unceasingly. Those collision sounds were Qin Yu and Ao Ku fighting each other.

"Boom!"

It was unknown whose attack landed on the ground but immediately, the entire earth appeared to be shaking like an earthquake struck. An extremely large crack started to spread.

Numerous amounts of people were standing afar, watching from the sidelines and discussing about the fights.

"Lord Yang, who is fighting over there? They actually dared to fight on the Black Crow Star." Asked a robust burly man to a black clothed old man.

This black clothed old man is a level two Demon Emperor level expert; he was someone of considerable status on the Black Crow Star.

The black clothed old man looked to the battle in the distant. "Who? How can you not tell after seeing those auras? A battle of this level, even if it was me, if I am to go closer, then I'll likely be killed already."

The cultivators in the surroundings were all shocked.

"Lord Yang, I have heard from my master that it was two of the three lords from the Imperial City who are fighting against some people." Gasped a youngster.

"Two of the three lords from the Imperial City?" The black clothed old man's eyes opened wide. All of the people in the surroundings were stunned.

The three lords underneath the Peng Demon Emperor, all of them were level eight Demon Emperors and High Level Divine Beasts. Their strength was comparable to Emperor Yu when he was a level eight Immortal Emperor. Of course, these three lords, compared to the current Emperor Yu, a level nine Immortal Emperor, were still a bit inferior.

"Yoh!"

An extremely sharp and reverberating sound sounded. A stick silhouette of several tens of miles long came crushing down on the center of the battlefield from high up in the sky.

At the same time, there were two figures in the middle of the battlefield that soared to the sky.

At the time when these two figures flew to the sky, they were still colliding with each other unceasingly. The sound of the collision rumbled in the ears of the people watching from several hundred miles away.

...

"Qin Yu, your ability to recover is truly frightening." That Ao Ku was unable to refrain himself from speaking.

The two of them separated several miles from each other all of a sudden and then immediately rammed into each other again. They were striking each other's body.

In the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm, the methods of attacking was mostly divided into two types. One was fighting from afar through controlling one's flying sword, magics or barriers. The second is closed ranged combat.

Although attacking from the distant might appear to be very powerful, it's very hard for one to kill someone from afar. That is because the flying sword that is controlled by one's energy is weaker than when it's being held by one's hand and attacking with one's full power.

However, closed ranged combat...

If one was to be slightly carefree, then one would lose one's life.

As for Qin Yu, he relied on his body's valiant defense and continued to conduct closed range combat unceasingly. Ao Ku, likewise, was also relying on the speed and defense that he gained when in his Double Headed Dragon Vulture's battle form to conduct closed ranged combat unceasingly.

Every time the two of them fought each other, they were trying to kill their opponent.

There was one time where the two of them were several miles away from each other and instantly collided with each other. At the same time, they threw their attack like lightning to their opponent.

The spiked club came crashing toward Qin Yu's head. This time around, Qin Yu did not bother to block it with his arm like he usually do.

"This time around, you're definitely going to die!" Qin Yu's eyes were like lightning.

"Bang!" Qin Yu merely slightly dodged his head. The spiked club ruthlessly smashed down on Qin Yu's shoulder. The sound of the bones breaking was something that caused one to shiver all over when heard. However, Qin Yu merely slightly frowned. His eyes shined cold.

Almost simultaneously —

Qin Yu's left hand's index finger was immediately pierced into Ao Ku's abdomen.

Meteor Finger Technique — Sky Piercing Finger!

The extremely pure and concise blue colored energy of the sixth stage Nine Steps Force started to be rotated by the Black Hole in reverse. The blue colored Nine Steps Force reached a frightening level.

And at the moment when Qin Yu attacked with his left hand's forefinger, the Divine Sword Sky Piercer that he held in his right hand was also pierced toward Ao Ku's chest. As if he had already anticipated that, Ao Ku's dragon tail immediately wrapped itself around Qin Yu's arm.

If Qin Yu did not have his arm's strength, then his Divine Sword Sky Piercer would not be able to pierce through Ao Ku's defense.

Ao Ku had a slight smile on his face. However, in a wink's time, his expression changed.

"Pff!'

Sky Piercing Finger!

Qin Yu's finger that he did not cared for unexpectedly erupted with an astonishing penetrating power. It continuously penetrated through his numerous layers of dragon scales. The extremely dense Demon Elemental Energy in his body only managed to weaken the blue finger energy by eighty percent before being unable to weaken it anymore.

"No Nascent Soul?" Qin Yu clearly sensed that his Sky Piercing Finger's energy had penetrated through Ao Ku's body. However, he did not manage to attack Ao Ku's Nascent Soul.

"Ahhh~~~"

Ao Ku's dead fish eyes started giving off a dazzling radiance. Afterwards, his entire body's muscles started to twist and warp. With a 'sii~~' sound; the sound of his muscles ripping apart echoed unceasingly.

In front of Qin Yu's eyes, Ao Ku was surprisingly split into two. The two halves of Ao Ku once again started to wriggle around and grow. In a short while, they turned into two people. Two Ao Kus appeared in front of Qin Yu. They looked at Qin Yu coldly.

Body Clone Technique?

No!

"What's going on? What kind of martial technique is this? These two Ao Kus strength are actually the same; they both have the power of Ao Ku at his peak." Qin Yu was startled.

The two Ao Kus took a glance at each other and then immediately looked to Qin Yu. The Ao Ku on the right laughed. "Qin Yu, stop looking. Let me tell you, these two are both my true body."

"Amongst the three great lords under His Majesty, I am the strongest one. Even Bai Feng has a special finishing move like the Phoenix Tail Needle, did you think that I merely had that bit of skill from earlier?" The two Ao Kus were looking at Qin Yu but did not attack him.

"How could there be two true bodies?" Qin Yu spoke.

These two Ao Kus also possessed a lot of patience. The one on the left sneered and said. "My true form is that of a Variation High Level Divine Beast, Double Headed Dragon Vulture. Splitting into two, that is the remarkable ability from my Inherited Memories. Earlier, you were equally matched against a single true body of mine; your strength could be considered to be pretty good. However, against the two of me, you will be no match."

Qin Yu listened as Ao Ku continued. He did not say a single word. Suddenly, Qin Yu's eyes narrowed.

"Fei Fei, Xiao Hei, don't fight anymore. Quickly, come over." Quietly, Qin Yu sent a voice transmission.

Hou Fei and Hei Yu who were currently fighting against Bai Feng heard Qin Yu's voice transmission. They believed Qin Yu completely and immediately threw off Bai Feng and flew toward Qin Yu. As for Qin Yu, he directly took Hou Fei and Hei Yu into the Jiang Lan's Realm.

"Fei Fei, Xiao Hei, you two are to return to the Jiang Lan's Realm first, I'll join you guys shortly." Qin Yu's voice transmission sounded in Hou Fei and Hei Yu's minds.

"Woosh!"

Bai Feng's figure immediately appeared beside the two Ao Kus. Puzzled, she said. "Ao Ku, Hei Yu and Hou Fei disappeared."

The two Ao Kus both frowned. Soon after, they looked to Qin Yu coldly. Like vipers, those two pairs of eyes stared at Qin Yu.

"Ao Ku, I already know what you were scheming. There is no need for you to hide anymore." Qin Yu had a slight smile on his face.

"Scheme? What scheme?" Ao Ku was still pretending.

Qin Yu lightly smiled and said. "Ever since the beginning when the two of you appeared, I have been suspicious... of whether you two wanted to kill us or to arrest us and why the Peng Demon Emperor and the other level eight Demon Emperor was not here?"

"Against you all, the two of us are more than enough." Bai Feng spoke.

Qin Yu shook his head. "Ao Ku, Bai Feng, at the beginning it could be that you two were arrogant and thought that you two would be sufficient to handle us. However, after fighting with us for such a long time, you also ought to know that the two of you were unable to kill us. If the Peng Demon Emperor and the other 'lord' was to be on the Black Crow Star, then they would definitely have appeared. However, we have fought for such a long time yet the Peng Demon Emperor still hasn't appeared."

"Therefore, I have determined that the Peng Demon Emperor was not on the Black Crow Star to begin with." Said Qin Yu with confidence. "As for the two of you, when you're fighting against us; for example Bai Feng, did not used your full strength in the beginning. After you were trampled upon later did you decide to use the Phoenix Tail Needle. As for Ao Ku... you've fought against me for such a long time... had it not been the fact that you sensed that my Sky Piercing Finger and Divine Sword were able to kill you, you would also not use your full strength and split into two true bodies."

Qin Yu stared at the two. "What does this all signify? It signified that you are delaying. I reckon that the Peng Demon Emperor is en route back here or might even be arriving on the Black Crow Star in a short moment."

At this moment, Qin Yu's Immortal Awareness has covered the entire Black Crow Star. With the Meteoric Tear's assistance on top of Qin Yu's current third layer Heavenly Soul Realm's level, even a level nine Demon Emperor cannot escape his investigation.

The two Ao Kus fused into one and immediately look to Qin Yu. "Qin Yu, you are very smart. What you said was correct. The moment I fought against you, I immediately became aware that even if I were to turn into two and fight against you with two true bodies, the most I could do is defeat you. However, if you were to flee, I would be unable to catch you at all. Thus, I could only delay for time..."

"You're still trying to delay for time... the Peng Demon Emperor has already arrived." Qin Yu smiled brilliantly. He turned into a ray of light and rapidly shot toward the group of people in the Black Crow City.

Ao Ku and Bai Feng was startled. They immediately prepared to chase but discovered that they were unable to find Qin Yu with their Demon Awareness.

"This Qin Yu is truly cunning. Eh, why did he say that His Majesty had arrived earlier? Did His Majesty really arrive?" Bai Feng puzzled. Ao Ku also had a trace of puzzlement on his face.

However, in a blink of an eye —

The two of them had a slight bitter smile on their face. That was because the Peng Demon Emperor's voice sounded in their minds. "Where is Hei Yu and his two brothers?"

Chapter 28 – Announcing to the World

After a battle of Emperor level experts, the battlefield that spanned nearly a thousand miles was turned into complete ruins. At the moment, there were two people high up in the sky above the battlefield. Merely a moment later, two more people appeared in the sky.

"Phoenix Tail Crane' Bai Feng, 'Cyan Flame Eagle' Liu Tu, 'Double Headed Dragon Vulture' Ao Ku.

These three people were the three great experts underneath the Peng Demon Emperor. Their status were second only to the Peng Demon Emperor. Currently, the emperor of the entire Bird Clan and these three people were all in the sky above the Black Crow City.

'Your Majesty."

Said Ao Ku and Bai Feng, bowing respectfully. The two of them did not have the arrogance that they displayed earlier. All they had on their face was respect and even a trace of worry and fear.

Beside the Peng Demon Emperor was the Cyan Flame Eagle, Demon Emperor Liu Tu. Demon Emperor Liu Yu wore a cyan colored Battle Armor. His eyes would occasionally flicker with a violent battle intent. It's just that, in the presence of the Peng Demon Emperor, his loftiness had completely vanished.

Standing in the middle was the emperor of the Bird Clan, the Peng Demon Emperor!

The Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan, his true form is that of a Golden Winged Great Peng Bird. His strength is that of a level eight Demon Emperor. However, as he was the Peng Demon Emperor who possessed an Inherited Treasure, he was able to easily defeat his three subordinates, the three great experts, by himself.

The Peng Demon Emperor was covered in gold from head to foot. He wore a golden gown, golden battle boots, and a golden crown. His pair of cold eyes that did not contain any emotion landed on Bai Feng and Ao Ku in front of him.

"Your Majesty, Ao Ku and I had never expected for Hei Yu and his brothers to be that powerful. We have been delaying this entire time. However, that Qin Yu surprisingly discovered our intention at the final moment. And thus, the three of them escaped. Your Majesty, this time around, it is I and Ao Ku who did not handle our work sufficiently; Your Majesty, please punish us." Said Bai Feng respectfully.

"Your Majesty, please punish us." Ao Ku also said the same.

Both Ao Ku and Bai Feng knew very well, that the Peng Demon Emperor hated people avoiding their responsibilities. If you were to avoid responsibility and not recognize your mistake, then even if you were not in the wrong... it was still very possible for the Peng Demon Emperor to kill you.

"Oh, the three of them are that powerful? Even the two of you were unable to deal with them?" The Peng Demon Emperor opened his mouth for the first time. His voice was a bit sharp and gave off a soul penetrating sensation. No one dared to be disrespectful to the Peng Demon Emperor as his emperor's domineering aura was omnipresent.

"Your Majesty." Bai Feng said respectfully. "Qin Yu and his two brothers were indeed very strong. This subordinate fought against Hou Fei and Hei Yu by herself and only managed to reach a tie against them with great difficulty. As for Qin Yu, he fought against Ao Ku and even forced Ao Ku to split into two true bodies."

Ao Ku added. "Your Majesty, Hou Fei is at level six Demon Emperor and Hei Yu is at level five Demon Emperor. As for Qin Yu... this subordinate was unable to see through his level. However, his soul's realm's level was not much inferior compared to Your Majesty's. His body was extremely tough. Even this subordinate had to use his all in order to cause him harm with my Divine Weapon."

The Peng Demon Emperor raised an eyelid. Like two profound golden rays of light, his eyesight was shot straight at Ao Ku. "Qin Yu is really that strong? His body's toughness is at a level close to that of a Low Quality Divine Artifact?"

"Yes. Furthermore, Qin Yu's recovery ability was extremely astonishing. Right after his bones were smashed apart by this subordinate, it would recover itself in merely a moment." Ao Ku added. "He also possessed a Divine Sword and an extremely sharp finger technique. If this subordinate did not use his two true bodies, then he might have suffered a defeat instead."

The Peng Demon Emperor nodded.

His clear and cold gaze glanced at the two. The Peng Demon Emperor said indifferently. "I understand, return to the Imperial Palace now."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bai Feng, Ao Ku and Liu Tu all bowed and accepted the command. Afterwards, the four of them all turned into rays of light and shot toward the direction of the Imperial City.

Inside the Jiang Lan's Realm.

Qin Yu, Hou Fei, Hei Yu and Bai Ling are gathered together.

"Big Brother Yu, what do we do now? Big sister was once again captured by the Peng Demon Emperor's subordinates; how do we save her?" Bai Ling was so worried that she was about to cry.

Hei Yu was only able to hold Bai Ling's hand and console her. "Ling'er, don't worry, we will definitely think of a way." Hei Yu was also extremely worried in his heart. When he first ascended to the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm, Bai Ling's older sister, Bai Xin, had also cared for Hei Yu greatly.

Hou Fei mucked up his mouth and said. "We've alerted the enemy now. To go through Zong Jue is likely impossible now. To save Bai Xin now, it's very hard."

"Then what do we do?" Asked Bai Ling worriedly.

Both Qin Yu and Hei Yu were frowning. They were both pondering. However, saving Bai Xin now is a lot harder than when they first arrived on the Black Crow Star; even the Peng Demon Emperor and Liu Tu have returned.

"Oh, that's right. Big brother, why did you suddenly have us enter the Jiang Lan's Realm earlier?" Hou Fei suddenly recalled what happened earlier and asked. Hei Yu also looked to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu smiled and said. "Earlier, that Ao Ku and Bai Feng had been trying to delay the entire time. I have determined that the Peng Demon Emperor was temporarily not on the Black Crow Star. However, for Ao Ku and Bai Feng to be delaying, they were definitely waiting for the Peng Demon Emperor to come back and capture us. That's why I had you two enter the the Jiang Lan's Realm."

"Delaying time?" Hou Fei and Hei Yu were startled. Only after they thought about the battle earlier did they manage to slightly realize it.

"Furthermore, ever since I started suspecting that, I spread my Immortal Awareness out to cover the entire Black Crow Star. At the final moment, my Immortal Awareness suddenly discovered two level eight Demon Emperors arriving on the Black Crow Star's Interstellar Conveying Array. Those two people are likely to be the Peng Demon Emperor and the final one of the three great lords".Said Qin Yu with much certainty.

Level eight Demon Emperors were incomparably sparse. For there to appear two at once, furthermore one of them possessing an aura similar to that of Zong Jue's, which was specific to the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird, Qin Yu determined it to be the Peng Demon Emperor.

"The Peng Demon Emperor has really returned?" Hou Fei was greatly alarmed.

Qin Yu nodded.

Hei Yu also started to frown. "If the Peng Demon Emperor were to return, then it would become a lot more complicated. He is someone who possesses an Inherited Treasure; his strength was close to that of the Dragon Emperor and the Great Ape Emperor. With the strength that the three of us possess... It is simply impossible for us to even battle against him."

"Not only that." Hou Fei said grudgingly. "According to what I learned from the Great Ape Emperor, the Dragon Emperor's Inherited Treasure was able to allow the Dragon Emperor's defense and attack to increase a lot. As for this Peng Demon Emperor, his Inherited Treasure was that crown on his head. That crown was able to triple his speed while also increasing his attack."

"Triple?" Qin Yu and Hei Yu were shocked.

Hou Fei nodded. "That's right. The Peng Demon Emperor roamed the world unobstructed with his speed to begin with. With the Inherited Treasure, there is not a single person that can match him in speed in the entire Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm. Against the Peng Demon Emperor, I reckon that we would be defeated before we even saw his shadow."

The Peng Demon Emperor who prevailed over his opponents with speed, even if his speed wasn't increased, there were still not many people in the entire Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm that can match his speed. Once his speed tripled, it would turn to only him attacking his opponents whereas his opponents cannot even imagine hitting him.

"Furthermore... speed is also attack power. Upon the moment when speed reaches the extreme, the attack power that it brings forth is also extremely powerful. According to what the Great Ape Emperor said, the Dragon Emperor's defense and attack are both very powerful but his speed is not up to much. As for this Peng Demon Emperor, his speed is very fast and attack is also pretty powerful but his defense is not up to much." Hou Fei spoke frankly with assurance.

After following the Great Ape Emperor Sun Yuan for a long time, Hou Fei also came to know a lot of things.

"Defense not up to much, but he ought to have a Divine Armor." Qin Yu spoke.

Hou Fei nodded and said. "That's right, he does have a Divine Armor; a Low Quality Divine Armor." However Qin Yu had never heard that anyone possessed a Mid Quality Divine Armor yet. Divine Armors are, after all, extremely precious.

"Low Quality Divine Armor worn by a level eight Demon Emperor, even if one were to attack it, who can possibly break through it?" Hei Yu spoke.

Qin Yu nodded.

A level eight Demon Emperor Super Divine Beast wearing a Low Quality Divine Armor was still considered to have weak defense to the Great Ape Emperor? Likely, even if Qin Yu and his brothers attacked him at the same time, they would still be unable to break through the defense.

"How would I know? Anyways, that's what the Great Ape Emperor said. He said that the Peng Demon Emperor's only weak point was his defense and the Dragon Emperor's weak point was his speed." Hou Fei spoke frankly.

"Then what's the weak point of the Great Ape Emperor?" Qin Yu asked.

Hou Fei smiled and said. "According to what the Great Ape Emperor said himself, he does not have any weak point. With the Great Ape Emperor's stick techniques, Once he executed his stick technique, then even with the Peng Demon Emperor's attack, it is still very hard for him to break through the Great Ape Emperor's defense. As for attack... once he executed the Heaven Startling Three Stick Strikes, even the Peng Demon Emperor wouldn't dare to take it on firmly. Speed? The Great Ape Emperor's comprehension is already at a very high level. Although his body might not be able to keep up, his long stick's speed was able to keep up with his opponent."

Hou Fei smiled again. "Although he said he doesn't have any weak points, but from how I see it, the Great Ape Emperor is a bit inferior in all aspects. His defense is not as strong as the Dragon Emperor. His speed is slower than the Peng Demon Emperor. Only his attack is powerful enough!"

Qin Yu shook his head and smiled. "Let's not talk about those three anymore. With their strength, any one of them could easily defeat us. Their so called 'weak point' is stronger than even our 'strong points.'"

Hearing this, Hou Fei and Hei Yu was unable to refrain themselves from smiling helplessly.

The reality was as such.

"Big brother." Bai Ling looked to Qin Yu. "My older sister, she... how are we to save her?"

"Ling'er." Hei Yu frowned and reprimanded. Hei Yu did not wish to force his big brother. Especially after the Peng Demon Emperor returned; saving Bai Xin had clearly became much more difficult.

After being reprimanded, Bai Ling grew quiet.

"Enough." Qin Yu smiled. "You all stay here first. I'll go to the Black Crow City and inquire about some information first. You all don't have to say anymore, when I conceal my aura, there are not many people that can discover me. Furthermore, if the situation turns bad, I can also enter the Jiang Lan's Realm. I do not believe that the Peng Demon Emperor could find the Jiang Lan's Realm."

Hou Fei started to laugh. "That's right, unless the Peng Demon Emperor dared to do what Emperor Yu did and refine the entire Black Crow Star; otherwise, it is impossible for him to find the Jiang Lan's Realm."

"Even if he finds it, he still cannot break through it." Hei Yu also smiled.

"Mn, well then, I'll go out first." After Qin Yu finished, he disappeared from the Jiang Lan's Realm.

Black Crow Star. Inside the Imperial City's Imperial Palace.

The Peng Demon Emperor returned with the three great experts. At the same time, he had commanded Zong Jue to come to the Imperial Palace. When Zong Jue received the command, he also became somewhat nervous.

"Humph, I do not believe that the Peng Demon Emperor would truly dare to kill me." Zong Jue clenched his teeth and steadied his pace. He directly headed toward the Imperial Palace's Dynastic Speech Hall.

The Peng Demon Emperor wore a golden crown on his head. On his body was a golden gown and on his feet a pair of golden battle boots. He was sitting on top of the Dynastic Speech Hall. Below the Dynastic Speech Hall, Ao Ku, Liu Tu and Bai Feng sat on the two sides with their legs crossed. In front of the three of them were short tables. On top of the tables were many delicacies.

Ao Ku, Liu Tu and Bai Feng simultaneously looked to the entrance. They saw Zong Jue calmly walking into the Dynastic Speech Hall. Soon after, Zong Jue said respectfully. "Zong Jue paying his respect to Your Majesty."

"Sit." Said the Peng Demon Emperor indifferently.

"Thank you Your Majesty." Zong Jue walked to one side and sat down. It just so happened that in the lower section of the Dynastic Speech Hall, there were two tables on each side.

"Zong Jue." The Peng Demon Emperor's sharp voice sounded. "I've heard that you secretly brought Bai Xin out this time around and even tried to deliver her to Hei Yu and them?"

Zong Jue lightly bowed and said. "Yes, there is no sense for me to quibble."

"Is there something that you want to say?" The Peng Demon Emperor looked at Zong Jue with his two eyes.

Zong Jue nodded and smiled. "Your Majesty. Your Majesty ought to know that I have a relationship with Qin Yu and his two brothers. I have also received grace from their sect's elder before. They asked for my help and I owed them a favor, so how could I not help them? This time could be considered as me returning them their favor. Furthermore, it's merely a single Bai Xin. A mere Demon King, what harm is there to give her to them?"

"Bai Xin is indeed of no importance, but!"

The Peng Demon Emperor's voice suddenly grew cold. A frightening aura came crushing down on Zong Jue. "But that Hei Yu is extremely important. I must definitely kill Hei Yu. I must definitely have him dead! Do you understand?"

The voice fuming with rage between gritted teeth caused Zong Jue's heart to quiver.

The Peng Demon Emperor's voice slowed down. "Zong Jue, you ought to know that I hold you in very high regards. Other than me, you are the sole Golden Winged Great Peng Bird from the Peng Clan. I do not wish for the next Peng Demon Emperor's status to be obtained by the Dark Electric Great Peng Bird."

The Bird Clan possessed four different types of Super Divine Beasts. Phoenix, Seven Colored Peacock and the two Super Divine Beast from the Peng Clan... Golden Winged Great Peng Bird and the Dark Electric Great Peng Bird. Each successive Peng Demon Emperor was either a Golden Winged Great Peng Bird or a Dark Electric Great Peng Bird.

"As I am a Golden Winged Great Peng Bird, I look after you especially. However, you'd best not think that I would not kill you. I'm warning you this time, if you were to violate my desire one more time, then I would rather have the Dark Electric Great Peng Bird become the next Peng Demon Emperor and kill you. Understand?" The Peng Demon Emperor's gaze was still ruthless as always.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zong Jue's heart was quaking in fear. He knew very well of the temperament of this generation's Peng Demon Emperor. If one were to violate his wish, he will definitely kill them. This time around, because Zong Jue was a Golden Winged Great Peng Bird whose status was extremely precious on top of having the same true form as the Peng Demon Emperor, did the Peng Demon Emperor make it into merely a warning instead of killing him.

"Bai Feng." The Peng Demon Emperor looked to Bai Feng.

"This subordinate is present." Said Bai Feng respectfully.

The Peng Demon Emperor commanded. "That Qin Yu and his brothers regard Bai Xin of high importance; I command you to announce to the entire world that after six months, Bai Xin will be executed on the Black Crow Star's Yellow Lion Mountain."

Zong Jue's heart was startled.

Execute Bai Xin? And also announcing to the entire world? Isn't that obviously to attract Qin Yu and them?

The Peng Demon Emperor continued. "In these six months, restrain Bai Xin's power and tie her up on the summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain. Ao Ku, you are to lead three Demon Emperors and a group of guards to watch over the surroundings. At the same time, set up the 'Profound Golden Illusion Array' in the area where Bai Xin would be tied up."

"Bai Feng, you are to spread out this news; you must make sure that it becomes public knowledge. Ao Ku, you are in charge of setting up the Profound Golden Illusion Array and watching over Bai Xin's surroundings. Once Hei Yu and his brothers appear, your first task is to notify me." The Peng Demon Emperor's gaze swept past.

Bai Feng and Ao Ku immediately bowed. "This subordinate accepts the order!"

Chapter 29 – Infiltrate

On a little street in Black Crow City's East City District.

A short haired and extremely radiating youth was walking on the street. He currently had a smile on his face. However, the other people on the street, when they saw the youth, consciously stepped aside for him. That's because no one was able to sense this youth's aura.

This youth was precisely Qin Yu with a changed appearance.

"Never had I expected that after I trained in the 'Nine Steps Dark Gold Body,' it became harder for me to conceal my aura." Qin Yu didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. After he trained in the 'Nine Steps Dark Gold Body,' his bones and muscles have become stronger. However, that can't be considered as much. After all, one's body strength couldn't be discovered with Immortal Awareness.

However, after training one's body to a certain point, it would start radiating force.

Qin Yu possessed the Nine Steps Force within his body. The Nine Steps Force was actually assimilated into every part of Qin Yu's body. And, with the Nine Steps Force covering every part of Qin Yu's body like so, it was very easy for others to discover it.

Therefore, Qin Yu absorbed all of the Nine Steps Force in his body into the Black Hole. At the same time, he stopped executing the 'Nine Steps Dark Gold Body' Martial Technique. Only by doing this would be not radiate any aura.

"This Black Hole is strange indeed; whatever enters it, becomes undetectable by the Immortal Awareness of others." Qin Yu had a smile on the corner of his mouth. Actually, this Black Hole could be considered a space tunnel. It can not be considered as being completely in the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm; thus, others naturally cannot discover it.

Qin Yu's pace was not fast. However, his goal was very clear... the expert of the Dragon Clan, Yu Pan's residence. If he were to try and gather information by himself, who knows how long it would take. However, by using the troops from the Dragon Clan, it would be a lot easier. After all, the Dragon Clan has an information system on the Black Crow Star.

Traveling back and forth through the crowd; after four hours, Qin Yu had walked half of the distance.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, everyone, His Majesty has ordered; that in six months, on the peak of the Yellow Lion Mountain, Bai Xin shall be executed. Please look at the notice board for the detailed information." A pair of Imperial City's guards were flying in the air and announcing this loudly. Once they spoke, a large amount of people on the street immediately started to gather toward them.

Publicly announcing the execution of someone?

It was something that's rarely seen on the Black Crow Star. It was only done when a crime is extremely great and evil. However, this Bai Xin was someone that not many people on the Black Crow Star know of.

"Bai Xin?" Qin Yu's figure turned into a blur. In a mere two three steps, he arrived at a location closest to the guards.

A black crystal plate was attached to a tall wall by the curb. There are two rows of golden writings on the black crystal plate. Those golden writings were unceasingly radiating a golden light. Although it is currently daytime, the golden light was still very clear. When it turned to night, it's likely that one would be able to see the golden light from far away.

Qin Yu carefully looked at those two rows of words.

"Bai Xin of the Skylark Clan, who did not comply with His Majesty's order and committed the crime of disobedience will be tied on the summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain for six months. After six months have passed, on the third of November, she shall be executed on the Yellow Lion Mountain's summit."

Qin Yu's eyelid jumped.

"Six months, public execution, and announcing it to the world in such a way." Qin Yu muttered to himself. He had managed to guess what they wanted to do. "This Peng Demon Emperor actually used this kind of method."

Qin Yu became angry.

It was very clear that the Peng Demon Emperor wanted to force Qin Yu and his brothers to go save Bai Xin. As for the summit of that Yellow Lion Mountain, it was definitely extremely dangerous. Even if it wasn't, the Peng Demon Emperor would likely also have set down an inescapable net to capture Qin Yu and his brothers.

If Qin Yu and his brothers were to show up... it would be very likely for them to be captured or even killed.

However, if they do not show up, Bai Xin would be killed!

"Yellow Lion Mountain, Yellow Lion Mountain." Qin Yu repeated this in his mouth a couple times. Soon after, he disappeared from the street. He had already entered the Jiang Lan's Realm.

"Eh? Where's that youth that was standing beside me? Could it be that he used teleportation in a place with all these people? Furthermore, earlier when the guards posted the announcement board to the wall, there was still some energy fluctuation. Although it was light, it was still very likely for him to enter a space crack and die."

The cultivators that saw Qin Yu disappearing were shocked.

"Bro, don't bother with people who act so recklessly. Say, who do you think this Bai Xin is to make the emperor publicly announce her execution?"

The number of people in the surroundings started to discuss again.

Inside the Jiang Lan's Realm.

Hei Yu and his wife Bai Ling were currently talking. What they were talking about was precisely Bai Xin. The two of them were unable to have a peaceful mind unless they saved Bai Xin.

"Big Brother Yu, how about, we infiltrate in and see? Once we find an opportunity, we'll save big sister. As soon as we save her, we'll return to the Jiang Lan's Realm. It shouldn't be dangerous." Bai Ling was so worried that her mind was about to become disordered.

Hei Yu shook his head. "You're being silly. Ling'er, you talk about infiltration, but how do we infiltrate the Imperial City? You talk about going to save your sister, but now, she's imprisoned under heavy layers, how do we save her?"

"Sigh..." Bai Ling's eyes were red. For this matter, she had cried multiple times already.

Hei Yu sighed and then hugged Bai Ling.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps sounded from outside. Bai Ling immediately sat straight. Hei Yu looked toward the outside of the door. Upon seeing the person who came, his face displayed a delighted expression. "Big brother, did you manage to obtain information regarding big sis Bai Xin?"

Qin Yu nodded and then sat on a chair.

"Really? Big brother, then when should we go out and save my older sister?" Bai Ling asked hurriedly.

Qin Yu shook his head. With a slightly worried expression, he said. "When I left earlier, before I even managed to see Yu Pan, I discovered that the Peng Demon Emperor had announced something to the entire world!"

"Big brother, what is it? Is it related to Bai Xin?" Hou Fei walked in from outside.

The residences of the three brothers were very close to each other. Right after Qin Yu walked in from outside, Hou Fei had immediately noticed it and also walked over. Hearing Hou Fei's question, Qin Yu nodded. "That's right, it's related to Bai Xin. The Peng Demon Emperor announced to the world that after six months, Bai Xin will be executed on the summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain!"

"Executed?" Bai Ling was startled. Hei Yu also looked at Qin Yu with shock.

Qin Yu nodded.

Bai Ling hurriedly said. "Big brother, we must definitely save older sister. We must definitely save her before the six months period ends. Otherwise, older sister will be executed."

"Public execution? Hei Yu muttered. "Big sis Bai Xin can't be considered a major criminal who has committed a great crime of extreme evil, if the Peng Demon Emperor wanted to kill her, he could easily do it directly. However, he decided to announce to the entire world that he would execute her in six months; it's definitely a scheme."

Qin Yu nodded. "That's right, that Peng Demon Emperor has also decided that during those six months, she will be tied up on the summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain, and then he will execute her."

"Hell, tying her on the Yellow Lion Mountain's summit for six months; isn't it obvious that they want us to walk into a trap?!" Hou Fei grew a bit angry. Qin Yu also felt grudged.

Hei Yu and Bai Ling took a glance at each other.

Hei Yu stood up and said to Qin Yu and Hou Fei. "Big brother, Monkey, I know that this time around that Peng Demon Emperor has certainly laid down an inescapable net waiting for us. This was all caused by us wanting to save Bai Xin. Big sis Bai Xin is not related with you two. Big brother... this time, the matter of saving big sis Bai Xin, I will go by myself."

"What kind of bullshit are you spouting?" Qin Yu's brows creased. He looked at Hei Yu with an ice-cold gaze. "Xiao Hei, tell me... if I were to be in this sort of circumstance, would you look on without lifting a finger?"

Hei Yu was stunned.

"You silly Mixed Hair Bird, gaga." Hou Fei started to laugh.

"Well then." Qin Yu took a light breath and said. "Since there's a six months time range, the guards would become more intense toward the end of the six month range. I reckon that the first half month time won't be so intense. I have decided to rescue Bai Xin after a month and half."

Hei Yu, Bai Ling and Hou Fei looked to Qin Yu.

"For that Peng Demon Emperor to dare use such method, it means that he is certain that he'll be able to capture us. In our plan to save Bai Xin, our biggest reliance is the Jiang Lan's Realm!" Qin Yu looked to his brothers and spoke his idea. "This time around, after we save Bai Xin, if we cannot escape, then we shall enter into the Jiang Lan's Realm."

"We do not have to care about what happens in the outside world. We can just focus on cultivating and training in the Jiang Lan's Realm. After all, the outside world is not very attractive to us. After our strength reaches the peak level or after we have undergone the Divine Tribulation and ascend to the Divine Realm, the Peng Demon Emperor naturally cannot do anything to us." Qin Yu smiled and said.

Qin Yu's best preparation was that if they were unable to escape, then they would enter the Jiang Lan's Realm and train till the peak level before figuring out what to do.

With the Jiang Lan's Realm in his hand, Qin Yu was not afraid that the Peng Demon Emperor could do anything tohim and his brothers.

"That's right, after saving Bai Xin, if we cannot escape, then we'll enter the Jiang Lan's Realm. Fuck, this bastard Peng Demon Emperor. Although we cannot provoke him in the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm, but we'll kill him after we reach the Divine Realm. After we have reached the Divine Realm where he would not have the Inherited Treasure anymore, let's see if he'll still act arrogant!" Said Hou Fei aggrievedly.

Hearing Hou Fei saying such, Qin Yu, Hei Yu and Bai Ling all started to laugh.

"Right, we'll kill him after we reach the Divine Realm." Said Qin Yu while laughing.

The Black Crow Star only had two cities, the Black Crow City and the Imperial City. The rest of the land was filled with plains, mountains, forests, wetlands, ocean and such. On certain small places there might be some people living within it. However, the amount of people in those places were extremely sparse.

The summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain.

The Yellow Lion Mountain was the location where successive generations of Peng Demon Emperors execute people who have committed great crimes of extreme evil. On the summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain stood a black pillar. A lot of the sinners have been tied on this pillar before they received their punishments.

And now, Bai Xin was tied on this pillar. She had already been tied onto this pillar for close to a month now and had neither eaten nor drunk anything. Logically, people who have reached her level would not have to eat or drink anything. However, Bai Xin's Nascent Soul was completely restricted; she was unable to even use the slightest amount of her energy.

Without any energy in her body, Bai Xin had been in a state of starvation the entire time.

However, she possessed the body of a level seven Demon King and was no mortal. Thus, even if she was to be starving, the worst that could happen would be that her body would gradually dry up. It was impossible for her to die from starvation because after all, her soul was already able to exist outside of her corporeal body. Unfortunately, even her soul is restrained right now.

Bai Xin had a face like a beggar's. To be blown by the wind and dried by the sun for an entire month on the summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain had caused her to be in a very sorry state.

"Death?" Bai Xin sighed deeply in her heart. "If only I had died earlier."

Bai Qin wished for death. It's just that currently, her life and death was no longer under her control. All she could do was to continue to endure days like this — being tied up on the mountain's summit, being blown by the wind and dried by the sun, being surrounded and watched by countless amount of people.

That's right, surrounded and watched.

Currently, there was a large amount of people on the foot of the Yellow Lion Mountain watching Bai Xin. Those who were declared to be publicly executed were generally all extraordinary people. A lot of people would come to see those extraordinary people being publicly executed.

Bai Xin who wasn't famous also managed to attract the a lot of people.

"Who is this Bai Xin? There's even a large formation array that's arranged in the surroundings. Even Demon Awareness cannot pass through that array." A person watching from the foot of the mountain cursed helplessly.

"Who knows?... However, to be able to be executed on the summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain could be considered as becoming famous in the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm. Compared to the other mediocre people, she's much better off." Said a middle aged man while sighing.

A lot of cultivators wished for fame and did not care about life or death. After what the Peng Demon Emperor did, Bai Xin's name have spread all over. This actually caused a lot of people to become envious of her.

On a certain corner on the waist of the Yellow Lion Mountain. There was a man that's currently in a hidden location. It was Qin Yu, who had been probing around the Yellow Lion Mountain for three entire days. Qin Yu had been surveying with his eyes, hitting up a chat with other people and all kinds of other methods. Currently, Qin Yu understood nearly everything regarding the Yellow Lion Mountain.

"Demon Emperor Ao Ku lead with him three mediocre Demon Emperors. The true people who watched over Bai Xin everyday were those thirty pitiful guards. And on the summit of the mountain, there was also a large formation array that encircled Bai Xin."

Qin Yu already had a risky plan in his mind.

This was the only method that Qin Yu could think of.

"Sigh, brother Wang, these days are truly boring. Lord Ao Ku and them are relaxing comfortably. However, us brothers have to change shift every two hours."

"Stop complaining. it would be disastrous if you were discovered."

Two guards were chatting with each other out of boredom. Five guards were set as a group as they watch over Bai Xin. There are a total of six groups. These six groups change shift every two hours.

"Level nine Demon King. Disguising as a level nine Demon King. With my current strength... that Ao Ku might be able to discover it if he were to use his Demon Awareness to check. Mn, I can only take a gamble."

From not afar, a man was looking at these two guards.

These past couple days, after following these groups of guards changing shift, Qin Yu have already determined that it'll be the time for these two guards to change shift soon. However, Qin Yu still have not discovered yet that the guards taking on the shifts were all working in groups of two or three.

"I do not believe that Ao Ku would always examine with his Demon Awareness." With an intention of his mind, Hei Yu suddenly appeared beside Qin Yu.

"Xiao Hei, we are to quickly kill one of those two each and use our Soul Searching Technique to obtain their memories. Immediately after, we are to take on their shift and enter the great formation array." Qin Yu said via voice transmission.

Hei Yu nodded.

"On the summit of this Yellow Mountain Lion, only Ao Ku has a stronger soul realm level than us. The other three Demon Emperors do not amount to much; as long as Ao Ku does not examine us, no one would be able to discover our impersonation. If he were to discover us, then we'll just have to take them on."

"Got it."

Hei Yu nodded. Afterwards, Qin Yu and Hei Yu charged toward the two guards not far from them with lightning speed. These two guards were level nine Demon Kings. Under the hands of Qin Yu and Hei Yu, these guards did not even have the slightest power to resist. Qin Yu directly absorbed these two guards' bodies into the Jiang Lan's Realm to 'destroy the corpse and extinguish the marks."

Qin Yu and Hei Yu's appearances and figures immediately changed to the appearance of those two guards.

"Li Yan, it's time to change shift. hurry up." A voice sounded from afar.

"Got it. I'm coming. Brother Wang, let's go; it's time to change shift." Qin Yu answered. At the same time he said to Hei Yu next to him. These two impersonators started to walk directly toward the man calling for them from afar.

Chapter 30 – Soul

The night slowly arrived. Five guards walked toward the Profound Golden Illusion Array. Amongst the five guards were Qin Yu and Hei Yu.

The Profound Golden Illusion Array was a type of extremely powerful illusionary formations. This great formation array was set up by the level eight Demon Emperor Ao Ku himself. With the current strength that Qin Yu possessed, he was still unable to break through this formation array. In order to save Bai Xin, the only method for him to do so was to pass himself off as a guard and infiltrate the formation array.

Hei Yu's gaze was directed toward the black pillar in the middle of the Profound Golden Illusion Array. A person was tied on top of the black pillar.

"Big sis Bai Xin." Hei Yu's heart shivered.

Even though her messy long hair was covering her face, even though the dust made Bai Xin appear like a beggar, Hei Yu, although watching from far away, was still able to tell right away with a single glance that the figure tied to the black pillar was the big sis Bai Xin who cared greatly for him.

"Xiao Hei, try to make your expression more natural. What are you looking around for?" Qin Yu's voice sounded in Hei Yu's mind.

Hei Yu suddenly woke up to reality.

"Xiao Hei, that silly appearance that you had earlier, could've easily made others doubt you." Qin Yu said via voice transmission. He completely understood the reason why Xiao Hei had that sort of appearance. However, they cannot allow any slip-ups after getting this far. If they were to be discovered... their only choice would be to fight their way through.

However, even if they were to fight their way through, they'd still need to at least enter into the great formation array. Otherwise, how could they save Bai Xin?

"Brothers, listen up." The leading man among the group spoke with a clear voice. "Soon, it will be our turn to enter into the Profound Golden Illusion Array. This Profound Golden Illusion Array changes every two hours and everytime it changes, the passages changes too. Although us brothers have guarded over it multiple times already, but no matter what, we cannot be careless when entering the great formation array. If anyone were to carelessly fall into the formation array, I'm certain everyone knows what would happen."

Everyone immediately shouted their agreement in unison.

The space that the Profound Golden Illusion Array occupied was pretty bright. In the middle of the great formation array was the region where Bai Xin was tied up. In the vicinity of the black pillar that Bai Xin was tied to were five guards watching over it.

Seeing this scene, Qin Yu grew a bit confused. "In order to watch over Bai Xin, why must they make the guards enter into the great formation array in order to watch over her? Could it be that they feared that someone could break through the great formation array and suddenly appear inside the formation array?"

Qin Yu's guess was actually the reason indeed. That was because after all there are many talented individuals in the world. Who knows, maybe Qin Yu and his brothers were proficient in formation array techniques? However, Qin Yu did not know that there was another very important reason for this arrangement.

"Well then, it's time." The leader said to Qin Yu and the other three. "I'll inform everyone of what the passage route will be these next two hours. Everyone, make sure to not step on the wrong place."

Afterwards, the leader sent the passage route of the Profound Golden Illusion Array to the other four.

Qin Yu and Hei Yu glanced at each other. Their gazes contained within them a hint of a smile. Soon after, under the guidance of the leading man, Qin Yu and the other four followed the safe route and slowly walked toward the center of the Profound Golden Illusion Array. And at this moment, the five guards who saw Qin Yu and the others coming, all had smiles on their faces.

"Xiao Hei, our luck's pretty good. That Ao Ku unexpectedly still hasn't used his Demon Awareness."

Qin Yu felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.

At this moment, even if they were to be discovered by Ao Ku, Qin Yu was still certain that he could save Bai Xin in a split second and rapidly flee through the passage. Even if he were to be surrounded by the Peng Demon Emperor and them, he would still be able to enter into the Jiang Lan's Realm and train peacefully.

Qin Yu has the intention to explore the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm, but what Qin Yu wanted more was for his strength to increase so that he can see Li'er sooner.

"I bet that Ao Ku just isn't as hardworking as he seems." Said Hei Yu via voice transmission. He was unable to restrain his gaze from falling onto Bai Xin who was getting closer and closer. Seeing Hei Yu's appearance, Qin Yu felt somewhat helpless in his heart but didn't really care about it.

Thus, the three guards plus two fake guards began to slowly move toward the center safe region.

Qin Yu and the others finally passed through the Profound Golden Illusion Array and arrived in the center safe region.

"Hey, you're finally here. Well then, we brothers will go take a rest." Said the leader amongst the five guards that were currently watching over Bai Xin, while smiling. Afterwards, the five happily departed from the Profound Golden Formation Array according to a sequential order.

Qin Yu and the others casually spread themselves out around the black pillar.

Bai Xin had hazy teary eyes.

"Little Yu, younger sister, this is all that I can do for you two." Bai Xin mumbled in her heart. The scene of that day appeared before her eyes. The scene where she was captured and brought back into the Imperial City by Ao Ku and then summoned by the Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan.

A large and wide great hall. At the top of the great hall was the Peng Demon Emperor who was completely encased in golden color. Below him kneeled Bai Xin and standing respectfully beside her was Ao Ku.

"Are you Bai Xin?" The sharp voice appeared to be able to pierce through her soul. It brought Bai Xin shivers through her entire body.

Bai Xin, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head upwards to look. She couldn't clearly see the appearance of the Peng Demon Emperor. All she managed to see was his pair of ice-cold and ruthless eyes.

"I ask you a question, are you not going to respond?" The Peng Demon Emperor's tone grew a bit higher.

"Yes, I am Bai Xin." Bai Xin's voice was very low. It was somewhat hoarse.

The Peng Demon Emperor encased in a golden color said indifferently. "Bai Xin, you also ought to know about your current situation. Your soul and your Nascent Soul are completely restricted. It is impossible for you to even kill yourself. I have already decided to tie you up on the black stone pillar, on the summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain, in order to use you to lure Hei Yu and his two brothers."

"You're... despicable!" Bai Xin angrily glared at the Peng Demon Emperor. However, Bai Qin instead felt as if the Peng Demon Emperor was thousands of miles away from her. The distance between the two was truly too great.

"I wish to make a deal with you." The Peng Demon Emperor's voice was very ordinary. It was as if he wasn't angry at all.

Bai Xin ferociously flipped back her head. She refused to look at the Peng Demon Emperor.

"Bai Xin, even if you were to not cooperate, it would still be impossible for you to kill yourself or escape. I will still be able to tie you up on the black stone pillar on the summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain. You ought to be able to guess that Hei Yu and his brothers would rush over to save you. At that moment, I can still kill Hei Yu and his two brothers. As for now, the deal that I am proposing, it could bring about a bit of benefit to you." The Peng Demon Emperor's voice appeared to contain a hint of a smile.

"Benefit?" Bai Xin's heart moved; she raised her head and looked to the Peng Demon Emperor.

Currently, Bai Xin doesn't even have the ability to control her own fate, it was all in the control of the Peng Demon Emperor; so, does she even have the qualifications to conduct a deal?

"I only want you to become my spiritual beast. I can assure you that if you were to accept, I would definitely not kill Hei Yu and Bai Ling; what do you think?" Contained within the Peng Demon Emperor's voice was enticement.

Bai Xin's heart was jolted.

Become the Peng Demon Emperor's Spiritual Beast? Able to save her younger sister and Little Yu?

Bai Xin raised her head up. Her clear gaze landed upon the Peng Demon Emperor. No matter how hard she tried to squint, she was still unable to see the Peng Demon Emperor's facial appearance. "Peng Demon Emperor, did you think that a little woman like myself is that easily deceived? For you to try that hard, wasn't it all to kill Little Yu? What? Now you're not going to kill him anymore? I do not believe that I would benefit you that much by becoming your Spiritual Beast."

"No. I said that I am not going to kill Hei Yu and Bai Ling. Of the two brothers that Hei Yu has, the oldest brother, Qin Yu, is someone that I must kill. My true target is him... as for the matter about me chasing after Hei Yu the entire time to kill him, it was also because of Qin Yu." Said the Peng Demon Emperor indifferently.

At this moment, Bai Xin suddenly realized.

Her Bai family and even Hei Yu have been wondering why the Peng Demon Emperor had been chasing to kill Hei Yu. After all, Hei Yu held no grievance nor hatred with the Peng Demon Emperor. Only now did she realize that the Peng Demon Emperor wanted to kill Hei Yu because of his big brother Qin Yu.

"Bai Xin, do you agree?" Said the Peng Demon Emperor indifferently.

Bai Xin was pondering.

The Peng Demon Emperor continued. "Even if you were to not agree, you'd still be tied to the summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain and would still be unable to save Qin Yu and them. However, if you were to become my spiritual beast, you'd instead be able to save Hei Yu and Bai Ling and I'll still be able to kill Qin Yu. Isn't this getting the best of both worlds? Could it be... you're afraid that after becoming my spiritual beast, you'll be mistreated and killed by me?"

"Death? How could I be afraid of death?"

Bai Xin raised her head and looked at the Peng Demon Emperor, sitting at the top of the great hall. "Peng Demon Emperor, I agree to become your Spiritual Beast. However, you have to swear that you won't kill Hei Yu and Bai Ling."

Bai Xin realized that even if she didn't agree, there would be nothing she could do. However, if she were to accept... she would instead be able to save Hei Yu and Bai Ling. She didn't understand why the Peng Demon Emperor wanted her to become his Spiritual Beast, but Bai Xin wouldn't care even if her soul were to be scattered, so why would she care about becoming his Spiritual Beast?

As for the so-called true target that the Peng Demon Emperor wanted to kill... Hei Yu's big brother, 'Qin Yu'... Bai Xin merely felt a bit guilty in her heart.

"Good, I promise you."

The Peng Demon Emperor promised her very straightforwardly.

"I, Peng Demon Emperor, Zong Yan, hereby swear that as long as Bai Xin becomes my Spiritual Beast, I, Peng Demon Emperor, Zong Yan, absolutely shall not kill Hei Yu and Bai Ling! If I were to violate this oath, then my soul shall be scattered!" The Peng Demon Emperor's voice was very firm and resolute. Word by word, as Bai Xin heard them, a smile appeared on her face.

"Come." Bai Xin released her guard and closed her eyes.

A Spiritual Beast Ring was shot out from the Peng Demon Emperor's hand. It enveloped Bai Xin's head. Soon after, it assimilated into Bai Xin's brain. Finally, it fuzed with her soul.

Bai Xin and the Peng Demon Emperor's deal was a success.

Bai Xin was then brought out. Only Ao Ku and the Peng Demon Emperor remained in the great hall. Ao Ku looked to the Peng Demon Emperor with a puzzled expression. Respectfully, he asked. "Your Majesty, wasn't your true goal killing Hei Yu? That Qin Yu shouldn't be of much importance to Your Majesty, right?"

"It's merely to deceive that Bai Xin." Said the Peng Demon Emperor indifferently.

"Then, the oath that Your Majesty swore earlier?..." Ao Ku looked to the Peng Demon Emperor.

The Peng Demon Emperor turned around and left the great hall. An indifferent voice sounded in the main hall. "I merely swore that I would not kill Hei Yu and Bai Ling. However, just because I won't kill them, does that mean that you all can't kill them either?"

Ao Ku suddenly realized.

Bai Xin was in that kind of hazy and muzzled state.

"Death, when will I die?" Bai Xin searched for death in her heart. "If only I can see Little Yu again before my death, that'll be so good."

When Hei Yu first entered into the Bai family, Bai Xin and her sister Bai Ling both came to like their junior. Especially after Hei Yu displayed his astonishing talent and his power increased at an astonishing speed, the two sisters both fell in love with Hei Yu.

It's just that after Bai Xin saw that Bai Ling had gotten together with Hei Yu, she had decided to hide her feelings in the bottom of her heart to never speak of them again.

"Big sis Bai Xin!"

A faintly discernible voice suddenly sounded in Bai Xin's mind. That voice was so familiar to her. When she was still in the Bai family, she had heard that voice numerous times before.

"Am I dreaming?" Bai Xin's lips curled in a bitter smile.

"Big sis Bai Xin, it's me, Little Yu. I've come to save you." The voice once again resounded in her mind. Bai Xin was suddenly woken up and immediately looked forward with her eyes shining brightly. What she saw in front of her was a very ordinary guard. Except that the guard's eyes were extremely familiar to her.

"Xiao Hei, is that you?" Bai Xin had grown emotional. She wanted to send a voice transmission but her soul was restricted and thus was unable to send a voice transmission. If she wanted to speak, she could only speak with her voice.

Qin Yu, who stood to the side, noticed this scene and also started to slightly smile. At the same time, he sent a voice transmission. "Xiao Hei, do not speak too much. Once we get closer, we'll immediately proceed to rescue her." Qin Yu was secretly glad. They have yet to discover Ao Ku doing any probing with his Demon Awareness.

"Got it, big brother." At this moment, Hei Yu rejoiced.

"Big sis Bai Xin, my big brother and I have come to save you. Just wait a bit." After Hei Yu finished saying those words, he and Qin Yu glanced at each other. The two of them were about to kill the other three guards in a flash.

When Bai Xin spoke with Hei Yu, Bai Xin's mind was filled with emotions; she still didn't realize the crisis.

However, at this moment, she awoke.

"Huuu!"

A burst of wind. Qin Yu's hands were like sharp blades as they simultaneously pierced into two guards' abdomens. He directly squeezed and crushed the two Nascent Souls into pieces with his hands. As for Hei Yu, he also displayed an astonishing speed. With a single move, he killed the other guard.

Her power was restricted, her soul was also restricted, so the current Bai Xin could only speak with her voice.

"Little Yu..." Her hoarse voice sounded.

To not eat or drink for all this time, even though Bai Xin was still alive, but her throat had long since dried up. Merely, at this moment, Bai Xin was striving to speak. Her dried up throat produced a hoarse voice.

Qin Yu and Hei Yu both looked to the direction of the voice.

"Run away, run, away!" Bai Xin tried her hardest to speak those words.

"Rest assured." Hei Yu's figure was like lightning. His hand, like a knife, directly severed the rope that tied Bai Xin. Hei Yu looked at Bai Xin with an excited expression. "Big sis Bai Xin, you won't ever suffer any hardships again. I guarantee it!"

Bai Xin had a worried expression on her face. "Peng Demon Emperor, he's about... to come." Her hoarse voice sounded.

Although others might not know, Bai Xin herself was very certain. After becoming the Peng Demon Emperor's Spiritual Beast, it was likely that whatever she thought in her mind was all known to the Peng Demon Emperor. The instant Hei Yu sent a voice transmission to her, it's likely that the Peng Demon Emperor probably already knew about it.

"It's alright, they still haven't discovered us yet." Said Hei Yu via voice transmission. "Big sis Bai Xin, don't speak."

"Let's go." Qin Yu looked at Hei Yu. "Quickly!"

Like lightning, Qin Yu and Hei Yu began to walk through the safe route that they were familiar with. However... in only a moment, the stars had moved. The entire Profound Golden Illusion Array started to move, it was changing unceasingly.

"Hei Yu, you are definitely going to die this time around."

Numerous silhouettes were floating in the air. They were coldly looking at Qin Yu and Hei Yu. Their leader was precisely the Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan.

Chapter 31 – How to Escape?

Qin Yu was shocked upon seeing this scene. This Profound Golden Illusion Array had already reached its peak; it was no longer in the same state that it was earlier anymore. The safe route, that they were preparing to walk, was definitely no longer an option. And, what was most important, was that... the existence of the Peng Demon Emperor and the other experts on the outside had weighed heavily upon Qin Yu.

"How did this happen? How did the Peng Demon Emperor discover us?" Qin Yu was unable to understand.

"Could it be that the Soul Jade Slips of the guards we killed, were shattered and discovered?" Qin Yu guessed in his mind. "No, that shouldn't be the case. They shouldn't constantly be checking whether or not the Soul Jade Slips have been shattered. Usually, one would only check it once a day. So how could he discover us this fast?"

Even now, Qin Yu still did not understand what went wrong in his plan.

"Big brother." Hei Yu stood beside Qin Yu. His brows were also creased. "How did the Peng Demon Emperor and them come so quickly? Even if Ao Ko were to investigate with his Demon Awareness, you should be able to sense it, big brother."

Qin Yu nodded.

Indeed, if they were to use Demon Awareness to investigate and search for them, then Qin Yu would definitely notice that.

"Furthermore, the Peng Demon Emperor, Bai Feng, Liu Tu and Ao Ku are all here. It's obvious that they were prepared." Qin Yu was still very calm. He had already succeeded in saving Bai Xin, so what if they are unable to escape from the Profound Golden Illusion Array?

If they were to directly enter into the Jiang Lan's Realm, what then could the Peng Demon Emperor do to them?

"Big brother, I do not have many requests anymore, now that we've saved Big sis Bai Xin. Even if we are unable to escape today, it'll be fine for us to just enter the Jiang Lan's Realm and continue our training slowly. We could care less about what that Peng Demon Emperor would do on the outside... once we reach the Divine Realm, we shall properly trample upon him." Said Hei Yu to Qin Yu via voice transmission.

"That's right, haha..."

Qin Yu suddenly raised his head and started laughing. Hei Yu also started to carefreely laugh. Their laughter spread far and wide from the summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain.

"You're still laughing?" Sneered the level eight Demon Emperor Bai Feng, who stood in the air outside of the great formation array.

Qin Yu and Hei Yu both smiled. The Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm had nothing that was greatly attractive to the three brothers. Although the three brothers still wanted to explore some wonderful and fantastic regions but the brothers wouldn't care even if they were to not go.

"You in the golden clothes, you're the Peng Demon Emperor right?" Qin Yu smiled as he said to the Peng Demon Emperor outside.

"Impudent!"

Ao Ku, Bai Feng, Liu Tu as well as the group of Demon Emperors standing behind the Peng Demon Emperor shouted nearly simultaneously.

"Shut your mouths." Said Qin Yu indifferently. "I'm talking with the Peng Demon Emperor, what are you all trying to butt in for?" At this moment, Qin Yu's frame of mind was still extremely relaxed. He wanted to see what exactly the Peng Demon Emperor could do.

"You..." Ao Ku and the other Demon Emperors immediately grew angry.

The Peng Demon Emperor raised his hand and the rest of the Demon Emperors immediately didn't dare to utter a voice; they just continued to stare at Qin Yu angrily.

The Peng Demon Emperor looked at Qin Yu with his emotionless eyes. "You are Qin Yu? That lucky fellow who managed to obtain the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas and the Bewitching God Painting? The Qin Yu who used the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas and killed a whole bunch of Immortal Emperors underneath Emperor Yu?"

"Correct." Said Qin Yu as he looked at the Peng Demon Emperor.

With Qin Yu's current soul realm's level and the assistance from the Meteoric Tear, he was able to clearly see the appearance of the Peng Demon Emperor. What caught Qin Yu's attention the most was... that this Peng Demon Emperor's two brows were like sharp swords. His icy cold gaze caused Qin Yu to have some impressions about him in his mind.

These kinds of people are usually extremely ruthless and fierce. They belonged to the type that would rather kill the entire world than have the world betray them.

"Peng Demon Emperor, you appear to know me pretty well. Could it be that you also want to obtain the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas and the Bewitching God Painting?" Said Qin Yu while smiling.

"Bewitching God Painting." The Peng Demon Emperor sneered. "That Bewitching God Temple is not something that appeals to me. How could the treasures within it be comparable to my Inherited Treasure? As for the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas... haha, I know that it contains three high ranked Demon Emperor's. However, in the entire Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm, not even level nine Demon Emperor expert's, other than the Dragon Emperor and the Great Ape Emperor, would dare say that they can rival me."

"Really?" Qin Yu asked.

"Of course." Said the Peng Demon Emperor naturally.

"What about Emperor Ni? The Cyan Emperor?" Said Qin Yu while smiling. The Peng Demon Emperor's expression slightly changed. Qin Yu continued. "And the legendary Three Great Sovereigns of the Dark Star Realm?"

The Peng Demon Emperor's two eyes burst forth like lightning as he stared at Qin Yu. "Never had I expected that you actually know quite a bit. Emperor Ni is a Phoenix birthed by the world. Furthermore, now that she's reached level nine Demon Emperor, even at a moment of crisis, she can still turn into flames. Killing her is truly somewhat hard. However... I am able to seriously injure her. As for the Cyan Emperor, I am truly unable to see through him. The Three Great Sovereigns of the Dark Star Realm, I do not take them into consideration under normal circumstances."

"Do not take them into consideration?" Qin Yu's brows creased.

The Peng Demon Emperor said indifferently. "The people of the Dark Star Realm rarely ever get involved with the matters of the outside world. So why would I be afraid? Even if we were to fight... the Three Great Sovereigns of the Dark Star Realm would only be comparable to us Three Great Demon Emperors."

Qin Yu was startled. It would appear that the Three Great Sovereigns of the Dark Star Realm were truly extraordinary people.

"Qin Yu, you said all that just to prove a point? However, is Emperor Ni inside your Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas? What about the Cyan Emperor or the Three Great Sovereigns of the Dark Star Realm? Haha... you don't have any of them. Thus, you'll definitely die today. Of course, you can go ahead and flee into that Qingyu Immortal Mansion or whatever. That idiot Emperor Yu was unable to break through a mere Immortal Mansion but I do not believe that even I will be unable to break through it." The Peng Demon Emperor was filled with confidence.

Qin Yu had a very brilliant smile on his face.

Qingyu Immortal Mansion?

Even now, the people of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm still think that the place where he had been hiding, was inside the Qingyu Immortal Mansion. How could these people possibly know, that where he was hiding was actually an unprecedented 'Spatial Divine Artifact,' Jiang Lan's Realm?! Even when Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor joined hands and used the Matchless Great Sword to attack, they were still unable to damage the Jiang Lan's Realm in the slightest. Even if the Peng Demon Emperor were to be ten times as powerful as them, he would still likely be unable to even shake the Jiang Lan's Realm.

"Sigh, Peng Demon Emperor. I am very confused, how did you manage to discover that I'm here? Seeing that you've gathered a large group of troops, it seems like you were already prepared." Qin Yu asked.

Even if they were to go into the Jiang Lan's Realm and train, at the very least he wanted to figure out how the Peng Demon Emperor had discovered them.

"You're very confused?"

The Peng Demon Emperor started laughing. Ao Ku, Bai Feng and Liu Tu. At the same time, the Peng Demon Emperor's gaze was directed toward Bai Xin. He lightly smiled and said. "Oh Qin Yu, look over there. That young lady Bai Xin is currently emotionally close and unwilling to separate from Hei Yu."

Qin Yu turned around to look.

At this moment, Bai Xin was talking to Hei Yu. Hei Yu looked to Qin Yu; with a smile, he said. "Big brother, I've already broken the restriction placed upon Big sis Bai Xin."

"Bai Xin, you still have ten breath's time. Make sure to hurry up and carefully chat with your good younger brother. If you're late, then you won't have any opportunity to chat with him again in your lifetime." Said the Peng Demon Emperor while smiling. However, his voice was like a cold wind permeating through Qin Yu and Hei Yu's bodies, making them tremble.

Hei Yu immediately grew extremely angry. He smiled and looked at the Peng Demon Emperor. "Peng Demon Emperor, ten breath's time? You must be dreaming. Do you think that you will have the opportunity to kill Big sis Bai Xin?"

The Peng Demon Emperor smiled yet did not respond.

"Little Yu." Bai Xin pulled Hei Yu's face toward to herself. She smiled happidly. "Let big sister look at you."

"Big sis Bai Xin." Hei Yu felt that something appeared to be amiss. He started to panic a bit in his heart.

Qin Yu also felt some panic in his heart. It was as if there were something he hadn't noticed.

Demon Elemental Energy ran through her entire body. Bai Xin's skin was back to the delicateness that it had before. Her appearance also returned to the beauty that she had before. Her two beautiful eyes were looking at Hei Yu. She always had a smile on her face. It was as if she was very happy, extremely happy.

"Big sis Bai Xin, what's wrong? What's wrong?" Hei Yu said worriedly.

Hei Yu and Qin Yu were simply unable to anticipate that Bai Xin would become the Peng Demon Emperor's Spiritual Beast. After all, in order for one to become a Spiritual Beast, one must be completely willing to become one. They did not believe that Bai Xin would be willing to become the Peng Demon Emperor's Spiritual Beast.

"Don't ask." Bai Xin smiled as she shook her head. She only continued to look at Hei Yu as if she was planning to forever immortalize Hei Yu's appearance in the bottom of her heart and in the depths of her soul, never forgetting.

"Ten breath's time. At the very least, in these ten breath's of time, Little Yu is mine." Bai Xin's heart was extremely relaxed.

"Time's up." The Peng Demon Emperor's voice sounded.

Qin Yu and Hei Yu both sensed that something was wrong. At this moment, Bai Xin who was in Hei Yu's bosom suddenly trembled faintly. Her eyes started to become disorganized. It's just that she had a peaceful and happy smile on her face. It was as if she had fallen asleep.

Even till her death, Bai Xin had never told Hei Yu that she loved him.

"Big sis Bai Xin, Big sis Bai Xin..." In a panic, Hei Yu shouted repeatedly. However, although Bai Xin appeared to be asleep, she would never wake back up. Hei Yu's Demon Awareness had already discovered that Bai Xin had died. It's just that he was unwilling to accept it.

"Big sis Bai Xin!"

Hei Yu's voice that was filled with grief, indignation, pain and suffering sounded. Qin Yu who stood to the side also felt a burst of pain in his heart. Qin Yu immediately turned around to look at the Peng Demon Emperor outside the the great formation array. The Peng Demon Emperor currently had a complacent smile on his face. "How did Bai Xin become your Spiritual Beast?"

Having reached this point, if Qin Yu was to still be unable to guess the reason, then he would truly be a fool. Under those circumstances, Qin Yu cannot think of any other reason that could cause Bai Xin's death.

"You've finally managed to guess it." The Peng Demon Emperor lightly smiled and said. "I believe that you also know why my people could arrive so promptly."

Qin Yu had a steady face.

As Bai Xin was the Peng Demon Emperor's Spiritual Beast, the Peng Demon Emperor likely already found out during the first time Hei Yu send a voice transmission to Bai Xin. At that moment, the Peng Demon Emperor directly notified his troops and came over via teleportation. Everything was clear now.

Yet Qin Yu was still confused... why would Bai Xin become the Peng Demon Emperor's Spiritual Beast?

"Peng Demon Emperor, I'll kill you!" Hei Yu glared angrily at the Peng Demon Emperor. His words appeared to come out through his teeth; they were filled with murderous intent.

"I'm the one who is going to kill you, you little bastard!" The Peng Demon Emperor looked to Hei Yu coldly. "However, don't worry; there will definitely not be anything unexpected happening this time around. Each and every one of you will fall under my hand. Especially you, little bastard Hei Yu."

"Your Majesty, everyone is here." Ao Ku suddenly said respectfully. A group of Demon Emperors had flown over to the Peng Demon Emperor from afar.

The Peng Demon Emperor smiled. "Immediately start the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array and encircle the entire range of the Profound Golden Illusion Array. No matter how Hei Yu and them try to flee, they would definitely be within the Profound Golden Illusion Array."

Sealing Element Refining Flame Array?

Hearing this name, Qin Yu was shocked.

"Qin Yu, the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array is arranged together with sixteen Demon Emperors. Of these sixteen Demon Emperors, four of them are level seven Demon Emperors. In order to break through this Sealing Element Refining Flame Array, one would require the strength close to that of a level nine Demon Emperor. That's right... that Ao Wuxu in your Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas might be able to break through it." Said the Peng Demon Emperor with a light laugh. "You most certainly should send him out."

Qin Yu gradually calmed down.

"Xiao Hei, don't grieve anymore. Our current strength is insufficient; we are still not a match against the Peng Demon Emperor. He possesses the Inherited Treasure, it's nearly impossible for us to kill him in the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm." Qin Yu sent a voice transmission and consoled Hei Yu. "We possess the Jiang Lan's Realm and do not have to care about that Sealing Element Refining Flame Array. We'll directly enter the Jiang Lan's Realm and continue our training, and once we have reached the Divine Realm, we'll find this Peng Demon Emperor and settle the debt."

Hei Yu was hugging Bai Xin's corpse.

"Big brother, take Big sis Bai Xin's corpse into the Jiang Lan's Realm. I'll properly bury her after I return to the Jiang Lan's Realm." Hei Yu's hoarse and gloomy voice sounded. Qin Yu sensed that something was wrong. From Hei Yu's hoarse voice, he was able to sense Xiao Hei's anger and grief. With an intention of his heart, Qin Yu directly absorbed Bai Xin's corpse into the Jiang Lan's Realm.

Hei Yu raised his head and looked coldly at Peng Demon Emperor and them. At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to Qin Yu. "Big brother, I temporarily do not wish to return to the Jiang Lan's Realm. Today, I must definitely kill one of them."

"Don't be stupid." Qin Yu replied via voice transmission.

Hei Yu merely shook his head but did not respond.

Qin Yu felt helpless in his heart. Xiao Hei have grow up together with him; he was very clear about Xiao Hei's temperament. If he had set his mind on something, he would definitely do it... that temperament was very similar to Qin Yu's.

"Hei Yu, don't forget that you still have Bai Ling and Hei Tong. I could take a step back and temporarily not take you back into the Jiang Lan's Realm; however, during moments of crisis, no matter whether or not you've managed to kill any of them, you must still return to the Jiang Lan's Realm." Qin Yu stared at Hei Yu.

In order to take someone into the Jiang Lan's Realm, the person being taken must not resist. Otherwise, Qin Yu would've already absorbed Hei Yu into the Jiang Lan's Realm. After all, that was the safest method.

"Okay." Hei Yu agreed.

"Your Majesty, we have finished arranging the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array." A Demon Emperor said respectfully.

The Peng Demon Emperor nodded in satisfaction. "Bai Feng, Liu Tu, Ao Ku. You three are to enter the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array with me. These two brats have yet to enter the Qingyu Immortal Mansion, it would appear that they want to fight against us. We shall satisfy their desire."

The net of light of the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array covered a third of the Yellow Lion Mountain. Amongst this third was the summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain.

The net of light of the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array disappeared temporarily. Led by the Peng Demon Emperor, the three level eight Demon Emperors... Bai Feng, Liu Tu and Ao Ku calmly entered the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array. Soon after, the net of light once again resumed its activity. The Peng Demon Emperor stood with his hands crossed. "Ao Ku, you go and remove the Profound Golden Illusion Array. Ao Ku, Bai Feng, Liu Tu, you three are in charge of Hei Yu. As for me... I'll play with that Qin Yu."

With the restriction of the oath, the Peng Demon Emperor didn't dare to personally kill Hei Yu. However, as he had his three strongest subordinates attack him at the same time, it would be strange if Hei Yu was able to survive against them.

Chapter 32 – Hei Yu's Birth Information

With the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array, the Peng Demon Emperor and them did not fear that Qin Yu and Hei Yu would be able to escape. Ao Ku directly stepped forward and removed the Profound Golden Illusion Array. The array was easily removed. Upon seeing Peng Demon Emperor and the other three coming in, Qin Yu merely looked to Hei Yu by his side.

"You're still trying to fight a futile battle?" Ao Ku, Bai Feng and Liu Tu sneered.

Immediately after, the three of them turned into three blurs and shot directly toward Hei Yu. The three of them were joining hands to take care of Hei Yu together according to the Peng Demon Emperor's command. It was very clear that the Peng Demon Emperor wanted Hei Yu to die. And with the current circumstances, the three of them also didn't believe that they would fail.

"Xiao Hei, it's impossible for you to get the opportunity to kill them, it's best for you to give up for now." Said Qin Yu via voice transmission. At the same time, he was prepared to send Hei Yu into the Jiang Lan's Realm.

Hei Yu turned around to take a glance at Qin Yu. He finally gave up resisting.

"Huff!" The three blurs pounced upon empty air.

"Where'd he go?" Ao Ku, Bai Feng and Liu Tu looked at each other in dismay. Hei Yu who was previously in front of them had disappeared into thin air. The three of them looked to Qin Yu simultaneously. Qin Yu smiled and said. "Don't bother searching anymore, Hei Yu is already inside the Qingyu Immortal Mansion. And I too..."

Right when Qin Yu was preparing to enter the Jiang Lan's Realm, suddenly... a divine light shined through Qin Yu's mind.

"Maybe I could even safely leave here." Qin Yu decided not to enter the Jiang Lan's Realm.

"Qingyu Immortal Mansion. Humph, it'll merely delay your death." In the distance, the Peng Demon Emperor was currently walking over indifferently. It appeared that the Peng Demon Emperor was very confident in breaking through the Qingyu Immortal Mansion.

Ao Ku, Bai Feng and Liu Tu appeared to have the same idea without speaking and started to attack Qin Yu like lightning. However, at the moment before they attacked, Qin Yu had already acted. His speed was extremely fast. Leaving behind only a blur, Qin Yu had rushed in front of Ao Ku.

"Old friend, it's the second time." Qin Yu appeared in front of Ao Ku.

Ao Ku was greatly alarmed.

He was very clear about Qin Yu's strength. If he were not to change into his two true bodies, than with merely a single body, especially with his current form that hasn't even changed to battle form, Qin Yu possessed enough strength to kill him. With lightning-fast speed, Ao Ku went into battle form. His Divine Weapon, the spiked club, was also sent smashing forward ferociously.

"Bang!"

Like two colossal meteorites colliding, the rumbling noise sounded unceasingly. Qin Yu and Ao Ku separated simultaneously.

"Eh, why didn't Qin Yu use his extremely sharp finger technique?" Ao Ku started to ponder. During their last fight, Qin Yu almost killed him when he used his Divine Sword Sky Piercer and his Sky Piercing Finger; that was something that was still fresh in Ao Ku's memory.

The stronger the collision, the stronger the rebound. Borrowing the strength of the rebound, Qin Yu's body did a beautiful curve and immediately arrived beside another level eight Demon Emperor... in front of Bai Feng.

Amongst the three Demon Emperor's, Bai Feng was the weakest!

"Humph." Bai Feng humphed coldly. The Mid Quality Divine Weapon Long Sword in her hand turned into a red ray of light as it was thrust at Qin Yu. Wherever the Divine Sword passed, the space would warp all over. Qin Yu merely moved several centimeters; the rest appeared to be unchanged.

"Tsk~~" The Divine Sword pierced into Qin Yu's body. Like a regular metal sword piercing through solid leather, the Divine Sword appeared to have been jammed. It barely managed to pierce through several centimeters.

Bai Feng was shocked. She had heard that Qin Yu's body was extremely strong, almost as strong as a Divine Artifact. However, she was unable to restrain her shock when she experienced it for herself.

"Pfff!"

"Pfff!"

Qin Yu did not bother with Bai Feng's Divine Sword being pierced into his body. Instead, he began to speed up the Nine Steps Force through his Black Hole. Using that, he shot out the most frightening Sky Piercing Finger and destroyed Bai Feng's defense, piercing through her dantian. At the same time, Qin Yu had also thrust his Divine Sword into it.

"Bang!" The Nine Steps Force contained in the Divine Sword also erupted. Bai Feng's Nascent Soul had luckily escaped the Sky Piercing Finger, but against the Nine Steps Force that was shot in all directions from the Divine Sword that was thrust into her dantian, her Nascent Soul was finally hit. The Nascent Soul with extremely weak defense crumbled on the spot.

"How could this be?"

Bai Feng had a face filled with disbelief. She had never expected that she, an existence in the Bird Clan that was second to only the Peng Demon Emperor, would die here; die in a battle that seemed like a certain victory. She was even unable to use her special finishing move, the Phoenix Tail Needle.

"Bang!"

Bai Feng's body landed on the ground heavily.

Level eight Demon Emperor Bai Feng, dead!

"Regarding this Mid Quality Divine Sword, I'll kindly accept it." At the instant Qin Yu killed Bai Feng, he had snatched her Divine Sword. At the same time he took the Divine Sword, his Immortal Awareness had already covered the entire surrounding. All of the people on the scene, including the Peng Demon Emperor, had every single one of their actions closely monitored by Qin Yu.

Especially the Peng Demon Emperor, Qin Yu had always been careful of him.

At this moment, Ao Ku and Liu Tu who saw this scene were astonished. Bai Feng, who was their partner for all these years, had unexpectedly died just like that. And at the same time Bai Feng's corpse landed on the ground, a golden light appeared to have traveled through time and space, arriving in front of Qin Yu.

"How could he be this fast?" Qin Yu who had already spread out his Immortal Awareness to pay attention to the Peng Demon Emperor, upon noticing that the Peng Demon Emperor had started to move, only managed to move his body slightly before the Peng Demon Emperor's attack arrived in front of him.

"Bang!"

A heavy fist landed on Qin Yu's chest, who had a face filled with shock.

Like a ray of light, Qin Yu crashed onto the black pillar. The black pillar, that was specially designed to restrain people, broke apart with a loud rumble and toppled over. However, Qin Yu was not stopped. He continued to ruthlessly smash into the ground. His crash jolted the entire summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain.

"Your body's truly strong." The Peng Demon Emperor clenched his fist.

If Qin Yu's body had been a bit weaker, then he wouldn't have been smashed into the ground. The punch would instead have pierced his body.

"Where'd he go?" Ao Ku and Liu Tu flew to the hole that Qin Yu smashed into. That hole was very shallow; its depth was only about the length of a man. Qin Yu had merely just been smashed into it but had already disappeared into thin air.

The Peng Demon Emperor's voice sounded.

"Don't worry, that Qin Yu had already disappeared the moment when he smashed into the ground. I think... that Qingyu Immortal Mansion must've changed into some sort of speck and is hiding on the ground." Said the Peng Demon Emperor as he pointed at the location where Qin Yu landed.

"Your Majesty is truly brilliant." Praised Ao Ku and Liu Tu.

The Peng Demon Emperor said cold and matter-of-factly. "Enough. For Bai Feng to be killed by Qin Yu under the circumstances from earlier, Bai Feng was truly being too careless. Her death cannot be blamed on others. We'll leave here and go outside of the Sealing Element Refining Flames Array. We'll have them use the Extremely Silent Heavenly Flame to burn everything down."

"Yes." Ao Ku and Liu Tu accepted the order.

With the Peng Demon Emperor in the lead, Ao Ku and Liu Tu followed behind him on either side and flew out of the range of the Sealing Element Refining Flames Array. Compared to the time when they came in, they have lost a member, Bai Feng.

Inside the Jiang Lan's Realm.

"Phew, that speed was truly fast." Qin Yu had a lingering fear just thinking about it.

With Qin Yu's chest as the center, a hole was caved in. The majority of his breastbones were broken. Had it not been for his Life Elemental Energy recovering him rapidly, that punch would've likely pierced a hole through Qin Yu's body. However, at this moment... Qin Yu had completely recovered.

"I suspect that the Peng Demon Emperor is about to use the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array and burn everything down now?" The corners of Qin Yu's mouth were slightly raised. "However, I don't know if I could be fortunate enough to go back out this time around."

Immediately after, Qin Yu's figure started to rapidly fly toward a far away location. It was precisely the residence of the three brothers.

Sixteen Demon Emperors were currently controlling the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array from all directions outside of the great formation array. Seeing the Peng Demon Emperor and the other two coming out, the sixteen Demon Emperors all bowed. "Your Majesty."

The Peng Demon Emperor slightly nodded.

"Listen, that Qingyu Immortal Mansion is inside the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array. You all are to burn everything inside the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array clean first. Afterwards, I'll personally go in and slowly handle that Qingyu Immortal Mansion." The Peng Demon Emperor ordered the sixteen Demon Emperors.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The sixteen Demon Emperors immediately started executing one hand seal after another...

The Peng Demon Emperor took a glance at the scene. Currently, they were using Blue Heavenly Flames to burn all the mountain rocks and so on in the formation array. Only when they reached things that they cannot burn with the Blue Heavenly Flames would they use Extremely Silent Heavenly Flames.

The Peng Demon Emperor turned around to look. Immediately after, he started flying toward a plain below the Yellow Lion Mountain. Liu Tu and Ao Ko followed him and flew toward that plain. The Peng Demon Emperor landed and then casually crossed his legs and sat. "You two can sit too. My Demon Awareness has completely covered that Sealing Element Refining Flames Array, if anything were to happen, I would know immediately."

"Thank you Your Majesty."

Liu Tu and Ao Ku also sat down with their legs crossed.

"Your Majesty, this subordinate has a sentence that he doesn't know whether or not he should say." Said Ao Ku with a low voice.

"Speak." The Peng Demon Emperor said indifferently.

Ao Ku nodded. "Your Majesty, even if that Hei Yu was to cultivate, Your Majesty possessed an Inherited Treasure. So how could they Hei Yu possibly overtake Your Majesty? Why must Your Majesty place so much importance in killing him? Even if we were to spare his little life, it would still not mean much."

"You're shortsighted." The Peng Demon Emperor laughed lightly. "Liu Tu, Ao Ku, back when I was contesting for the status of the Peng Demon Emperor with Fang Chong, you ought to also know what happened."

Liu Tu nodded. "That Fang Chong and Your Majesty were both level seven Demon Emperor Super Divine Beasts. Your Majesty is a Golden Winged Great Peng Bird whereas he was a Dark Electric Great Peng Bird. You were both Super Divine Beasts of the Peng Clan... the contest for the title of Emperor is certainly something that we subordinates remember clearly."

"I must admit, if we were to compare merely the strength, then I would've been a bit inferior to that Fang Chong. Although the Dark Electric Great Peng Bird and the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird are both Super Divine Beasts, the Dark Electric Great Peng possess more than just fast speed, they also possess some mysterious and remarkable abilities. Back then, the chances of me obtaining the title of the Peng Demon Emperor were not very favorable. Liu Tu, back then, Fang Chong had married a woman from your clan. Do you still remember that?" Asked the Peng Demon Emperor while smiling.

Liu Tu nodded.

"That woman could also be considered a prodigy of my Eagle Clan. Her true form was merely that of an ordinary Eagle Clansman, she wasn't even a Divine Beast. However, her cultivation speed was comparable to that of a High Level Divine Beast." Liu Tu was currently the Clan Chief of the Eagle Clan. His true form was also that of the strongest High Level Divine Beast of the Eagle Clan, the Cyan Flame Eagle.

The Peng Demon Emperor nodded. "That Fang Chong was originally also a very ambitious and ruthless person. I had contested against him for my entire life. Back then, he was generally cold toward me. However, who would've expected that such a person would fall for a woman from your Eagle Clan. I merely planned a simple strategy but was able to cause Fang Chong to be seriously injured and even lose his life to my hand."

"For Fang Chong to lose to Your Majesty, that was also because of his insufficient training of his heart and mind." Flattered Liu Tu.

The Peng Demon Emperor nodded. "To be alive, how could one allow oneself to be bound by another? If I want to kill someone, then I'll kill. If I want to go against the Heavens, then I'll go against the Heavens. Only such would one be happy." The Peng Demon Emperor had a trace of cruel pride in his gaze.

"I, Zong Yan, could be considered as someone who feared neither the Heaven or Earth. However, who would've expect that when Fang Chong was greatly injured back then, he would cut open the space with all his might and managed to open the space tunnel between the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm with the Mortal Realm. He threw away that little bastard into that space channel. That, to the me that feared neither the Heaven or Earth, actually caused me to be uneasy and fearful."

Although the Peng Demon Emperor said he was fearful, his expression did instead did not change. "From Zong Jue, I came to know how frightening the child of the Dark Electric Great Peng Bird and a female Eagle Clansman, who was not even a Divine Beast, was. Not only is his speed comparable to mine, he also possesses all the remarkable abilities that the Dark Electric Great Peng Bird possessed. At the same time... the Eagle Clan's defense is usually pretty good. However, this Hei Yu's defense is even more frightening. He's truly a perfect Variation Super Divine Beast!"

"If that was all there was, then I would not be afraid. What I was most concerned about was his cultivation speed! He has only cultivated for only how many years? Yet, he's already a level five Demon Emperor! I have never heard of such a frightening cultivation speed from the Bird Clan ever before."

The Peng Demon Emperor laughed coldly. "Although this little bastard cannot threaten me in the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm but if I were to continue to ignore him, then with his cultivation speed, it's very possible for him to surpass me one day in the Divine Realm. Ao Ku, say, would I ignore him and let him keep on living?"

Ao Ku came to a realization.

"This subordinate's sight was truly narrow and shallow. I truly have not considered the matters that'll happen after ascending to the Divine Realm." The majority of these Demon Emperors like Ao Ku were worried about the Divine Tribulation. They do not have the confidence that they'll be able to pass the Divine Tribulation, so who amongst them would care to think about what would happen after they have ascended to the Divine Realm?

However, the Peng Demon Emperor possessed an Inherited Treasure that allowed him to pass the Divine Tribulation effortlessly and had already began to think about the future.

"When Zong Jue spoke of this Hei Yu, I was almost completely certain that he was Fang Chong's little bastard. His true form was that of an Eagle. But does the Eagle Clan possess such a powerful Divine Beast? Furthermore, he also knew many of the remarkable abilities that only the Super Divine Beasts of the Peng Clan possessed; if his father wasn't Fang Chong, then how would he possess the remarkable abilities of the Peng Clan? To have such a son, Fang Chong should be proud. Unfortunately... today, his son would also die."

As the Peng Demon Emperor said those words, he raised his head and looked to the sky above him. "They ought to have about finished the refinement now!"

Inside the Jiang Lan's Realm.

Qin Yu, Hou Fei and Hei Yu were currently together.

"Xiao Hei, don't be too heartbroken." Qin Yu and Hou Fei were both looking at Hei Yu.

As the owner of the Jiang Lan's Realm, Qin Yu was able to hear the voices in the surroundings of the Jiang Lan's Realm. Thus, the chat of the Peng Demon Emperor, Ao Ku and Liu Tu earlier was naturally heard by him. When he heard that it was regarding Hei Yu's birth information, Qin Yu, with merely a thought, made the voice of the Peng Demon Emperor and them sound in the surroundings of the three brothers.

"So, it turns out that my father and mother are both dead." Hei Yu's eyes were a bit moist.

"Mixed Hair Bird, I'm about the same as you. Even now I still do not know who my father is." Hou Fei consoled Hei Yu.

"Xiao Hei, don't be sad." Qin Yu started to smile. He changed the topic and said. "Hey, I did not expect that the plan that I thought of out of the spot actually worked. Xiao Hei, Fei Fei, we do not have to hide inside the Jiang Lan's Realm the entire time anymore in the future."

"How come?" Hou Fei looked to Qin Yu. Hei Yu also dry his tears and looked to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu explained. "I know that the Peng Demon Emperor would think that the Jiang Lan's Realm would be by certain places near where I landed. However, he never expected that... during the first time I fought against Ao Ku, the Jiang Lan's Realm had already turned into a speck of dust and attached to his clothes."

With how exceptional the Jiang Lan's Realm was, even if Ao Ko were to use his Demon Awareness to search, he would still be unable to find the speck of dust that the Jiang Lan's Realm had turned into.

"They're currently outside the Sealing Element Refining Flames Array and have just finished talking. I suspect that they'll be flying up now."

"Let's go up." The Peng Demon Emperor said indifferently.

Ao Ku and Liu Tu accepted the order. The three of them flew toward the sky rapidly. None of them noticed that during the moment when they were flying toward the sky, a speck of dust dropped from Ao Ku's body, landed on the ground, and blended into the plain, becoming one of the countless dust specks in the sand.

Chapter 33 – Training atop the Meteorite

The sixteen Demon Emperors were floating in the air in their respective positions. At the same time they were controlling the Extremely Silent Heavenly Flames and burning that final lump of liquid. The Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan, Ao Ku and Liu Tu have arrived beside the airspace of the Sealing Element Refining Flames Array.

"Your Majesty."

Upon seeing that the Peng Demon Emperor had come, the sixteen Demon Emperors immediately greeted him respectfully.

"Never had I expected that after refining less than half of the Yellow Lion Mountain, we'd actually obtain materials to refine a Top Quality Demon Artifact." Said the Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan with a light laugh. His current mood was extremely good. "Liu Tu, Ao Ku, have you two discovered the Qingyu Immortal Mansion?"

Ao Ku and Liu Tu both spread out their Demon Awareness to search for the Qingyu Immortal Mansion. Their Demon Awareness covered the entire Sealing Element Refining Flames Array, including that lump of liquid that was being burned and boiled unceasingly. After a long time, Ao Ku and Liu Tu were still carefully inspecting that lump of liquid.

"It's better I do it myself." Said the Peng Demon Emperor indifferently.

"This subordinate is incompetent." Said Ao Ku and Liu Tu respectfully.

"That Qin Yu most certainly turned that Qingyu Immortal Mansion into a droplet. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tries to imitate the liquid, it's still fake. There will certainly be a loophole." The Peng Demon Emperor's Demon Awareness was also spread out. It turned into numerous waves and covered that lump of liquid in an instant.

Trying to distinguish each and every droplet from the lump of liquid was extremely hard. Ao Ku and Liu Tu stood to the side and didn't dare to disturb.

Below, at the location where the Peng Demon Emperor, Ao Ku and Liu Tu were resting before.

A figure suddenly appeared. It was precisely Qin Yu who had changed his appearance.

Qin Yu raised his head and took a glance. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. "Peng Demon Emperor, you can continue to slowly search. If you find me, then I'll truly admire you." After staying for merely a blink of an eye's time, Qin Yu disappeared from the plain.

Teleportation!

"Mn?" Ao Ku turned around and looked to below.

"What's wrong?" Liu Tu who stood beside him asked. At the same time, he also turned around to look below. The plain was exactly the same as before, there wasn't a single thing on it. "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." Ao Ku turned back forward and smiled to Liu Tu beside him. "My brain must have played a trick on me." Ao Ku had actually sensed an extremely slight amount of energy fluctuation. That fluctuation merely lasted for a wink's time before disappearing. Ao Ku had thought that it was his own misperception.

Liu Tu laughed. "Let's wait until His Majesty finds out where that Qingyu Immortal Mansion is. After we take care of Qin Yu and them, we won't have much to do in the future anymore."

"That's true." Ao Ku sighed.

With their status, what matters in the Bird Clan would actually need them to move out in normal circumstances?

Unfortunately, the current Ao Ku and Liu Tu had no idea that the current Qin Yu had already arrived on the Interstellar Conveying Array of the Black Crow Star. Effortlessly, he had escaped via the Interstellar Conveying Array. As for the Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan, he was still trying to find the Qingyu Immortal Mansion.

"Never had I expected that this Qin Yu's ability to conceal himself would be truly profound." The Peng Demon Emperor no longer had any smile on his face.

After being unable to find the Qingyu Immortal Mansion after such a long time, he too had grown angry.

"I do not believe that I can't find it." The Peng Demon Emperor's gaze was icy-cold. His Demon Awareness split into millions and millions of parts. Each and every one of his Demon Awareness parts then covered a speck of liquid droplet each. The Peng Demon Emperor was carefully examining each and every speck of liquid droplet for differences. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to find anything.

After two entire hours!

The Peng Demon Emperor ended up admitting his defeat. Even an extremely conceited individual like him couldn't last any longer.

"All of you, use your Demon Awareness to search. Find out exactly where that Qingyu Immortal Mansion is hiding." Said the Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan coldly. His gaze swept past the sixteen Demon Emperors as well as Liu Tu and Ao Ku. "Whoever manages to find the Qingyu Immortal Mansion shall be rewarded greatly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Immediately, the sixteen Demon Emperors, along with Ao Ku and Liu Tu, a total of eighteen people, started to carefully search for the Qingyu Immortal Mansion.

The result was self-evident, still a failure.

"Your Majesty, this subordinate has an idea." Suddenly said a Demon Emperor respectfully.

"Speak." The Peng Demon Emperor's eyes shined.

That Demon Emperor said respectfully. "We merely have to control the Extremely Silent Heavenly Flame to make it occasionally burn and occasionally not burn. That lump of liquid would switch between solid and liquid form.. I reckon that no matter how strong that Qingyu Immortal Mansion's ability to change itself is, there would inevitably be a slip-up."

This method was practically the same method that Emperor Yu used in order to find Qin Yu in his Sealing Element Refining Flames Array.

"Good." Upon hearing that, the Peng Demon Emperor thought that it was a feasible idea. "You are to command and deploy everyone. Quickly, find that Qingyu Immortal Mansion for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

That Demon Emperor had a cheerful expression in his eyes. Immediately, he promptly went to command the rest of the Demon Emperors. He would make them burn the lump of liquid with Extremely Silent Heavenly Flames. And then suddenly make them remove the Extremely Silent Heavenly Flames. By continuing this process, the lump of liquid would occasionally condense together, and then in the next instant melt into liquid. All of the Demon Emperors were carefully searching for the Qingyu Immortal Mansion.

Failure!

Failure!

Still a failure!

Six entire hours. The Peng Demon Emperor and his subordinates had used a wide variety of methods. The Peng Demon Emperor even went into the Sealing Element Refining Flames Array himself and refined that lump of liquid into a Top Quality Demon Artifact. He even dripped his blood on it to make it his own.

After becoming the master of that Top Quality Demon Artifact, the Peng Demon Emperor had also carefully inspected it. However, he was still unable to find the Qingyu Immortal Mansion.

The Peng Demon Emperor even removed the blood contract with that Top Quality Demon Artifact and used his Peng Claws to directly crush that Top Quality Demon Artifact into pieces.

At last, the Peng Demon Emperor had no choice but to admit that there's an eight or nine out of ten chance that the Qingyu Immortal Mansion had already left the Sealing Element Refining Flames Array. He did not believe that he was unable to discover the Qingyu Immortal Mansion even after using all those different kinds of methods to find it.

"How exactly did that Qin Yu escape from here?"

This question had vexed the Peng Demon Emperor for a long, long time!

When the Peng Demon Emperor finally gave up on searching for the Qingyu Immortal Mansion, Qin Yu had already left the star field that the Black Crow Star is located in. He was currently rushing toward the northeast of the Bird Clan's Territory with astonishing speed. Occasionally, he would use the Interstellar Conveying Arrays and occasionally he would use his own Greater Teleportation to move about.

In merely three days, Qin Yu had arrived on a star field in the northeastern section of the Bird Clan's Territory... 'Cyan Flame Star Field."

Cyan Flame Star Field, located toward the extreme north section of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm. To its east was the Bird Clan's Territory's most chaotic location, the 'Chaotic Star Field.' Further eastward was... the location of the legendary Bewitching God Temple! The Bewitching God Temple was located between the Bird Clan's Territory and the Dark Star Realm.

The Chaotic Star Field was truly chaotic. It was so chaotic that even Qin Yu didn't want to enter it. Thus, he decided to stop in the more peaceful Cyan Flame Star Field.

The Cyan Flame Star Field was the headquarters of the Eagle Clan. The Eagle Clan was one of the extremely powerful clans amongst the Bird Clan. When comparing strength, the Eagle clan would only be second to the Peng Clan. The current Clan Chief of the Eagle Clan was the level eight Demon Emperor Liu Tu. He was also one of the three great experts underneath the Peng Demon Emperor. Of course, now that Bai Feng had died, only Ao Ku and Liu Tu remained.

Cyan Flame Star Field, Flowing Mist Star.

A man was currently hovering in the vast skies of the Flowing Mist Star and looking down from above. His gaze swept past all directions.

"What a beautiful and tranquil planet." Qin Yu had a smile on his face. "Mn, this'll do. I've decided to make this planet the place where we brothers will stay in the future." Afterwards, Qin Yu directly landed onto the ground.

With an intention of his mind, Hou Fei, Hei Yu, Bai Ling and Hei Tong have all appeared.

"Big brother where is this? This place seems pretty beautiful." Said Hou Fei while laughing.

Qin Yu nodded and said. "This is the Flowing Mist Star of the Cyan Flame Star Field. The Flowing Mist Star is a border planet of the Cyan Flame Star Field. According to the introduction written on the Interstellar Map that big brother Wuming gave me, this planet is a very ordinary planet; it is about as ordinary as the Maple Moon Star that I was on before. The strongest people here are likely only level seven or eight Demon Kings."

"Big brother, did you decid to choose this place as the residence of us brothers?" Hei Yu was dressed in a white gown. His long hair was drifting in the wind. He was giving off a sense of elegance.

Qin Yu nodded. He then looked to Hei Tong. "While it doesn't matter much to us three brothers, but Little Tong cannot be with us the entire time and not enter a city. That's why I picked here to be our future residence."

"Ah!" Hei Tong's eyes shined brightly. "Eldest Uncle, will I truly be able to go out and play?"

"Don't worry. We cannot ignorantly step onto internal areas of this planet. Who knows whether or not there are subordinates of the Peng Demon Emperor in there?" Qin Yu lightly smiled and said.

Bai Ling spoke. "Big brother, although the Peng Demon Emperor's strength spreads wide and far, his troops are only gathered on certain galaxies' large or important planets. On a small planet like the Flowing Mist Star, there are barely any foreigners. Majority of them are just passerbys from the Interstellar Conveying Arrays."

"That I know, that's the reason why I chose such an ordinary planet." Qin Yu nodded. "But, it's better to be safe than sorry."

Suddenly, six figures appeared on the ground. Of these six people, one of them was a level four Demon Emperor Dong Xue. The other five people were two level nine Demon Kings and three level eight Demon Kings. They were all Spiritual Beasts from the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas.

"Master." Said Dong Xue and the rest respectfully.

"Big brother, this is?" Hou Fei, Hei Yu and the rest were all confused.

Qin Yu instead did not respond. He said directly to Dong Xue. "Dong Xue, this planet is the Flowing Mist Star, an extremely ordinary planet. The strongest person here is merely a level seven or eight Demon King. I command you all to control this planet completely within a hundred years."

"Master's intention is?" Dong Xue asked puzzled.

Qin Yu smiled and said. "It's very simple. Control this planet completely and everywhere. I want to make the overwhelming majority of the people on the Flowing Mist Star controlled by us. Even if a foreigner were to step onto the Flowing Mist Star, you must know about that too. It'll be fine once you are able to accomplish that."

"Local tyrant?" Said Hou Fei while laughing with a gaga sound. "Big brother, your intention is for us to become the local tyrant here?"

"Not us, but Dong Xue!" Said Qin Yu with a light laugh. "Furthermore, Dong Xue shall also become a background controller. The acting controllers shall be these five Demon Kings. They shall control the entire Flowing Mist Star. As for anything that they cannot settle easily, Dong Xue would then take care of that."

"Master, for such a planet, a single year is more than enough for the six of us to control it." Said Dong Xue confidently.

A planet like the Flowing Mist Star was naturally extremely easy for a level four Demon Emperor like Dong Xue to obtain. Even if it was to achieve complete control, a year is indeed more than enough.

"Eldest uncle, you're having them control the Flowing Mist Star, then what do we do?" Asked Hei Tong.

Qin Yu smiled and said. "You ought to know that I, your father, your second uncle and even your mother have statuses that cannot be leaked. Such a thing like controlling the planet does not require us to do it ourselves. We merely need to hide ourselves in a secret place and not allow anyone to know about us."

Hou Fei, Hei Yu and the rest of the people's eyes shone. They had completely understood Qin Yu's intention.

Qin Yu's gaze grew sharper. He stared at Dong Xue. "Dong Xue, I'm giving you a hundred years, after a hundred years, you must obtain a level of control where, even if the Peng Demon Emperor were to send someone to the Flowing Mist Star, you'd be able to obtain all information regarding that person."

"Although the Bird Clan's Territories all belong to the Peng Demon Emperor, I want this Flowing Mist Star to be under our complete control. When the subordinates of the Peng Demon Emperor arrive here, they shall become blind. Whatever they see... shall be what we want them to see. Dong Xue, are you able to accomplish that?" Qin Yu looked at Dong Xue.

Dong Xue said confidently. "Please rest assured Master. A hundred years? This subordinate will definitely be able to achieve it."

"Xiao Hei, Bai Ling, do you still remember what I have told you two?" Said Qin Yu with a smile.

Hei Yu and Bai Ling nodded. Hei Yu rubbed his daughter's head. "Big brother, what you said was correct. I must let this child experience the world for herself."

"Father, Mother, Eldest Uncle, you all..." Hei Tong had a face filled with puzzlement.

Qin Yu looked to Dong Xue. "Dong Xue, I am leaving Xiao Tong in your hands. You can let Little Tong live in the Flowing Mist Star for these hundred years. Your status shall be her master. Peng Demon Emperor and them do not know of Little Tong's existence, she should not be in any danger."

"Yes, Master." Said Dong Xue respectfully.

"Father, Mother, Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, could it be that you're not going to stay on the Flowing Mist Star with me?" At this moment, Hei Tong had came to a realization.

"For now, no. This place is still not sufficiently safe yet." Said Qin Yu with a light smile.

Stay on the Flowing Mist Star?

At the very least, it's a no go for now. Qin Yu already had a plan in his mind. He would spend a hundred years in the Cosmic Space to comprehend the cosmos. Qin Yu really wanted to thoroughly comprehend the next stage of the 'Stellar Transformation' cultivation technique.

Likely, compared with the 'Nine Steps Dark Gold Body' body strengthening technique, Qin Yu cared more about his own 'Stellar Transformation.'

After being reluctant to part, Little Hei Tong followed Dong Xue and the other five Demon Kings into the city of the Flowing Mist Star. As for Hei Yu, Bai Ling and Hou Fei, they entered into the Jiang Lan's Realm. According to the plan, they are to spend a thousand years in the Jiang Lan's Realm.

A thousand years in the Jiang Lan's Realm was a hundred years outside.

Hou Fei and Hei Yu were to train in the Jiang Lan's Realm whereas Qin Yu was to train in the Cosmic Space.

The boundless Cosmic Space. Countless amount of enormous planets were slowly floating in the Cosmic Space. And, at this moment, next to a beautiful blue colored planet were several tens of enormous meteorites flying past. The meteorite in the middle of these several tens of meteorites was the largest; it had the length of close to ten thousand miles. However, such a size could only be considered as extremely small in the Cosmos.

In the middle of the surface of this meteorite was a man sitting cross-legged. It was precisely Qin Yu.

Surveying his surroundings, comprehending the boundless cosmos, this was the current cultivation method of Qin Yu. Sitting atop this meteorite, Qin Yu was drifting about the Cosmos unceasingly…

Chapter 34 – Unite

His soul has completely united into one with the cosmos. Sensing the pulse of the cosmos, Qin Yu's own soul's aura has grown more and more faint. Ultimately, it appeared to have completely disappeared.

A blazing star, a flaring large fireball. Round after rounds of flames were erupting from the fireball. A round of flame had even broken into the meteorites.

Another group of meteorites came flying over from the opposite direction. Those meteorites flew past the meteorites that Qin Yu was with. Qin Yu was seeing with his eyes, sensing with his soul... gradually, what he saw with his eyes and what he sensed with his soul started to fuse with one another.

Every moment Qin Yu sat on the meteorite, the Nine Steps Dark Gold Body's execution speed was increased to the maximum.

Those twenty seven thousand seal marks and patterns were flickering with a blue color. Qin Yu's bones and his entire body's muscles were being transformed unceasingly. The cells and such within his bones were also being changed unceasingly. Even if the bones were to be unable to support the unceasing changes and fracture, the Life Elemental Energy within Qin Yu's body would automatically restore them.

Training and cultivating without any worry, there was no one in the Dinosaur Clan who had ever trained like that.

In the blink of an eye several tens of years have passed.

Qin Yu has separated himself from the state where he had assimilated with the cosmos. A slight smile appeared on his face.

"Several tens of years are merely a flash of time. The 'Stellar Transformations cultivation technique that master created, although it had only reached the state of being able to pass the Heavenly Tribulations, was such a developed cosmic cultivation technique. If it were to reach its true final state, its profoundness would be something that surpasses all of the cultivation techniques of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm by far."

The more he managed to comprehend, the more aware Qin Yu became.

"Fei Fei and Xiao Hei's cultivation speed are pretty fast. I'll continue my comprehension." Qin Yu removed the distracting thoughts in his mind and once again assimilated his soul with the Cosmos. He had returned to a drifting yet profound state...

Inside the Jiang Lans' Realm.

Several tens of years in the outside world means that several hundreds of years have passed in the Jiang Lan's Realm. Hou Fei and Hei Yu had both obtained some significant improvements in their strength.

A body covered in silver hair, with two golden eyes and a violet lip; Hou Fei held his long black stick in his hand. He was 'gaga' laughing with excitement. Soon after, he roared.

"Mixed Hair Bird, watch my strike!"

The long black stick was like a long black dragon as it soared to the sky before arriving directly in front of Hei Yu.

"Insignificant skill." Hei Yu sneered. His figure rapidly changed. Swiftly, he turned into nine blurs and easily dodged the incoming stick strike. At the same time, a long black spear suddenly appeared in his right hand. Like a water snake, the long spear was suddenly shot out.

The long black stick and the long black spear merely lightly touched each other before separating.

An exchange at the speed of lightning.

The exquisiteness of Hou Fei's stick technique and Hei Yu's spear technique were clearly seen. The two of them did not use any force; rather, they were competing the exquisiteness of their techniques. During the moment when the long black stick and the long black spear collided with each other, they were appearing and disappearing. Sometimes, they appeared to have entered into the space itself; they were extremely fantastic.

"Big Brother Yu, Second brother, you two should take a rest." Bai Ling walked over from the courtyard with a smile on her face.

Two blurs landed on the ground. The two figures have only gradually became clear.

Hou Fei was donned in a golden battle armor and radiating a battle aura. As for Hei Yu, he was wearing all white and was giving off a sensation of a desolate killer.

"Aiya, Mixed Hair Bird, I've never expected that after you reached level six Demon Emperor, your spear technique would also improve greatly. It's about to reach the level of my Heaven Startling Nine Stick Strikes. However, I still haven't used the eighth and ninth stick strikes yet. Once I use them, you'll definitely lose." Said Hou Fei confidently.

Hei Yu lightly smiled. "You've achieved complete comprehension of the Heaven Startling Nine Stick Strikes?"

"How many hundreds of years has it been? You've even reached level six Demon Emperor level from level five Demon Emperor; although I still haven't reach level seven Demon Emperor, I've almost finished the comprehension of the Heaven Startling Nine Stick Strikes. It's just the final Ninth Stick Strike that's a bit problematic." Hou Fei's face didn't go red. "Just wait, I'll reach level seven Demon Emperor level very soon."

Hei Yu did not respond, he merely put away his long spear, walked to the stone chair on the side, sat down and started to rest. Bai Ling was sitting beside him.

Hou Fei also put away his black stick and sat on another stone chair.

"Monkey, Big brother said he'd be outside for a hundred years, but would he really be there for precisely a hundred years? If during the hundredth year's time Big brother were by chance, at his most critical moment, how could we possibly disturb him?" Asked Hei Yu with a frown. "However, if that was the case, when should we go out and wake Big brother?"

Hou Fei laughed. "That's simple. Why must we bother to go call for Big brother? When Big brother himself decide that it's about time, he'll naturally come and get us out."

Hou Fei wasn't worried at all. Hei Yu also nodded.

Bai Ling who sat to the side instead grew a bit worried. "If big brother were to continue his comprehension the entire time, then does it mean that we are to stay in the Jiang Lan's Realm the entire time? It's been a long time since I've seen Little Tong. I really want to see Little Tong at an earlier date.

"Ling'er." Hei Yu frowned and reprimanded her. "So what if we are to see Little Tong a bit later? Big brother's cultivation is the most important."

"Oh." Bai Ling could only agree.

The tranquil days continued on. Inside Wu Lan's residence in the Jiang Lan's Realm.

"Boss Wu Lan, Boss Wu Lan."

A voice that sounded like a thunder suddenly rumbled loudly. It woke up Wu Lan who was currently resting inside his room. Helplessly, Wu Lan walked out from his residence. He saw the excited Ye Qu that ran over and smiled helplessly. "Ye Qu, why are you shouting so loudly?"

Ye Qu had a face filled with pride. "Boss Wu Lan, look."

"Look? At what?" Wu Lan was puzzled.

"Look carefully." Ye Qu had a face filled with smiles. "Look, what has changed about me?"

Confused, Wu Lan looked at Ye Qu for a moment. He then started to smile. "Oh, you've finally reached a breakthrough."

Ye Qu hit his chest with his fist and said happidly. "That's right. After all these years, I've finally reached a breakthrough. Haha... that icy-cold Ao Wuxu was the first one to reach level eight Demon Emperor and would frequently act arrogantly in front of me. Now, let's see if he dares to act so arrogant anymore."

Actually, Ao Wuxu had never acted arrogant. It's just that his icy-cold manner naturally caused others to think that he was acting arrogantly.

"Haha, level eight Demon Emperor; Mn... you and Wuxu better train faster, with Qin Yu's current cultivation speed, he'll likely undergo the Divine Tribulation and ascend to the Divine Realm earlier than you. If that really is the case... then I'm afraid that we'll be separated." Instructed Wu Lan.

"Boss Wu Lan, what do you mean?" Ye Qu grew calm.

Wu Lan said solemnly. "When Qin Yu ascend to the Divine Realm, if you and Ao Wuxu were to not have passed the Divine Tribulation, it's impossible for the two of you to ascend to the Divine Realm together with Qin Yu and I. You'll only be expelled back to the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm by the Divine Realm."

"The rules of the Cosmos are as such. It's just like when ascending to the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm from the Mortal Realm, one must achieve the level of Dacheng before being able to ascend. Thus, even if Qin Yu were to bring people along with him in the Qingyu Immortal Mansion, they'll still be automatically expelled by the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm. Although the Jiang Lan's Realm was exceptional... but it's merely a Spatial Divine Artifact's space and not a true space!" Wu Lan explained carefully.

"True space?" Ye Qu was a bit puzzled.

Wu Lan nodded. He smiled and said. "True space naturally possesses Spiritual Energy, Elemental Spirit Energy or other energies. There's also life forms and so on. However, the Jiang Lan's Realm is a space within a Spatial Divine Artifact. The Elemental Spirit Energy within it is also absorbed from the outside world. It is impossible for the Jiang Lan's Realm to have energy in and of itself."

"Oh, Boss, Wuxu and I must pass the Divine Tribulation before being able to go to the Divine Realm; but what about you?" Ye Qu had a guess in his mind.

Wu Lan lightly smiled. "I am originally from the Divine Realm, it's very natural for me to return to the Divine Realm. Even if I were to not train and not have even the slightest amount of improvement, I would still able to ascend to the Divine Realm with Qin Yu inside the Jiang Lan's Realm. However, you all are different."

"Mn... that Qin Yu's cultivation speed is too fast. It would be good if he were to slow down a bit." Said Ye Qu after mucking his mouth grudgingly. "Although I've reached level eight Demon Emperor; it will be extremely hard for me to break through to level nine Demon Emperor from level eight Demon Emperor."

Wu Lan merely had an indifferent smile.

Although Ye Qu and the rest were pressured, Wu Lan did not have any pressure.

Inside the Imperial Palace of the Black Crow City.

The Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan as well as the two level eight Demon Emperors Liu Tu and Ao Ku were currently seated around a table.

"Liu Tu, it has already been eighty years. In this period of time, have you managed to discover any information regarding Hei Yu and them?" Asked the Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan indifferently. After all these years, the Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan did not have a lot of hope in catching Hei Yu.

Somewhat helpless, Liu Tu replied respectfully. "Not even the slightest bit of information."

"Your Majesty." Ao Ku interrupted. "If Hei Yu and them were to hide in the Qingyu Immortal Mansion the entire time and not come out... then no matter how hard we try, it's still impossible for us to find them."

The Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan nodded. How could he not know about that? However, he truly wanted to kill Hei Yu.

"Mn?"

Suddenly, the Peng Demon Emperor frowned. He turned his hand around and took out a Transmission Spiritual Pearl. Gradually, a smile appeared on the Peng Demon Emperor's face.

Liu Tu and Ao Ku took a glance at each other. They were filled with amazement.

The matters of the Bird Clan's territory used to mostly be taken care of by Bai Feng. And now, they were mostly taken care of by Liu Tu. Only an extremely small amount of matters would be reported directly to the Peng Demon Emperor. And now, the Peng Demon Emperor actually have a smile on his face... it was truly a rare occurrence.

After a moment, the Peng Demon Emperor put away his Transmission Spiritual Pearl while smiling.

"Your Majesty, did something delightful happened?" Said Liu Tu with a smile. Ao Ku also looked to the Peng Demon Emperor.

The Peng Demon Emperor smiled and said. "It's nothing that can be considered as an exaltation, it's just that Emperor Yu and his wife the Mystic Emperor of the Immortal Realm had made an exchange with me. They want to kill that Qin Yu, I want to kill that Hei Yu, thus we merely decided to help each other."

"Your Majesty, when you were chasing to kill that Hei Yu, you had announced his name as Xiao Hei the entire time. Hei Yu's true name was something that others didn't know of, so how did this Emperor Yu manage to know?" Asked Liu Tu in confusion.

"Bai Feng was killed by Qin Yu. Although not many people know about this, Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor's power in Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm is still quite good. I reckon that they managed to obtain this information from somewhere." Said the Peng Demon Emperor with a smile

Chapter 35 – Stellar Space

In the boundless Cosmos, countless planets were slowly moving about in the cosmic space.

The group of meteorites rapidly passed through stars and planets. In the middle of this group of meteorites, on the biggest meteorite; a person was sitting cross-legged and unmoving. It was unknown how long he has been sitting there, nor was it known when he would get up.

Traces of green light were slowly being radiated from Qin Yu's head. The corners of Qin Yu's lips were slightly raised. He had a smile on his face.

His eyes had been open the entire time, tranquilly watching.

Suddenly, Qin Yu stood up. He was proudly standing on this rapidly flying meteorite.

"It's been ninety years, I've already trained in seclusion for ninety years." Qin Yu's mind was very serene. He felt as if his entire frame of mind was slowly fluctuating with the pulse of the cosmos. It was a marvelous sensation. However, Qin Yu knew that... in these ninety years, he had let his soul assimilate with the cosmos and his frame of mind fluctuate with the cosmos.

A cultivation of ninety years, Qin Yu's soul realm's level had naturally achieved the rank of a level nine Immortal Emperor's state, he was merely a step away from completing the third layer of the Heavenly Soul Realm.

Qin Yu did not care much about the progress of his soul realm. After all, when in battle, what mattered was one's strength. In last several hundred years in the Jiang Lan's Realm, Qin Yu had stayed on the sixth stage of the 'Nine Steps Dark Gold Body.' And now, he has finally reached the seventh stage.

The Nine Steps Force had also changed to purple from blue.

Now, the bones in Qin Yu's body were comparable in toughness to a Low Quality Divine Artifact. Adding on the assistance of the Life Elemental Energy, Qin Yu's body could be considered to be a Divine Artifact that could be renovated at any time. There was no need to explain how powerful that is.

"Unfortunately... there was not much progress in the 'Stellar Transformations cultivation technique." Qin Yu sighed.

The comprehension of all these years was actually for the sake of creating the ninth stage of the 'Stellar Transformations. However, creating a new stage was no easy task. Standing on top of the meteorite, Qin Yu was casually looking at the boundless cosmic space.

Suddenly...

An enormous and magnificent nebula appeared in Qin Yu's field of view. This nebula was radiating a dream like brilliance; it was extremely attractive. As for Qin Yu, he was naturally attracted by this nebula. The size of this nebula was extremely huge... it was as big as several thousands of planets.

Revolving around tranquility, the entire gigantic nebula was revolving around tranquilly.

There appeared to be no pattern in its trajectories. However, Qin Yu who had woken up from being attracted by the nebula noticed the trajectories of its rotation. Seeing the trajectories, Qin Yu appeared to be shocked. His mind that had been in a tranquil state for ninety years started to move excitedly!

In this moment!

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Qin Yu's mind!

Qin Yu had suddenly opened up to a wide panorama!

"So, so that's it!" Qin Yu smiled. He closed his eyes and suddenly raised his hands. His hands were moving very slowly. However, at the moment when his hands were moving, the entire space appeared to be vibrating. Even the lights around Qin Yu appeared to be being warped.

Qin Yu's hands stopped their movements!

His hands appeared to be holding onto a ball of nothingness. With his hands placed in front of his body, Qin Yu smiled and closed his eyes. It was as if he was experiencing a wonderful sensation.

At the moment when Qin Yu's hands stopped moving!

Suddenly, the several tens of rapidly flying meteorites stopped. It took merely a split second for the meteorites to stop from the high speed that they were flying at. All these several tens of meteorites stopped in midair and were motionless.

"Huff!"

Qin Yu's hands involuntarily shook slightly. With Qin Yu as the center, a visible space ripple appeared. The several tens of meteorites that had stopped moving, suddenly moved. With the meteorite that Qin Yu was on as the center, the several tens of meteorites started to rotate.

There were meteorites above Qin Yu, meteorites to Qin Yu's left, meteorites in front of Qin Yu... meteorites below Qin Yu.

The meteorites formed a spheroid with Qin Yu as the center.

Like this, the several tens of meteorites revolved around Qin Yu. Sometimes, the meteorites would revolve above Qin Yu, sometimes below; their trajectories were not circular nor could they be considered an ellipse shape. If one were to look at them, then they would appear to not have any pattern at all.

However...

If there were to be an expert on the scene, then they would notice that these several tens of meteorites were rotating with the same pattern as the dream-like nebula.

Merely, every single meteorite represented a huge lump of energy within the nebula.

Like so, these several tens of meteorites were revolving unceasingly. The far away nebula was also revolving like so unceasingly.

They were rotating with the same trajectory. The only difference between them were their sizes.

However... in the other space that Qin Yu's Black Hole in his dantian leads to, inside that two three meters long and wide space that belonged to Qin Yu, that extremely thick golden Black Hole Energy was also slowly moving. Although slow, they were still moving.

Time passed. The several tens of meteorites have always maintained their current state.

Twelve entire years.

Lifting his hands up like holding a ball; Qin Yu who had maintained this pose for twelve entire years, suddenly opened his eyes.

Right at the moment when Qin Yu's eyes opened, the several tens of meteorites that had been rotating about, forming an enormous sphere suddenly stopped.

"Haha... the comprehension of a hundred years has finally born fruit. So that's the case, so that's the case!" Qin Yu's face was filled with smiles. Extremely confident smiles. He placed his hands behind his back. His feet were still on the largest meteorite.

"I've broken my promise, broken my promise. Although I said a hundred years, it took me a hundred and two years." Qin Yu had a self-mocking smile.

Afterwards, Qin Yu looked to the several tens of meteorites that still remained in the air. He casually waved his hand and those several tens of meteorites proceeded according to the trajectory that they had before. As for Qin Yu, he instead stood up in the air. After a while, he used Greater Teleportation and disappeared from the cosmic space.

In a flash, Qin Yu appeared on an uninhabited planet.

"Now that my soul realm's level has also reached level nine Immortal Emperor's level, with the assistance of the Meteoric Tear, who could compare with me in the degree of unity with the cosmos? With my current Great Teleportation distance, there's not much need for Interstellar Conveying Arrays anymore." Immediately after, Qin Yu disappeared again.

Qin Yu's current Greater Teleportation range was about ten times the range it was before.

It used to be that for him to move a tenth of a galaxy's distance with a single teleportation was already pretty powerful. However now, Qin Yu was able to cross an entire galaxy with a teleportation. There was no need for Interstellar Conveying Arrays anymore. Even if it was to be crossing from a single galaxy to another one, Qin Yu was able to do so with a single Greater Teleportation.

Only when crossing from a star field to another star field, with the distance between the two being too great, would Qin Yu require the use of an Interstellar Conveying Array.

"The eighth stage was the Black Hole Realm, what exactly will the ninth stage be? Heheheh... there's no need for me to worry, all I need to do is continue my development according to these circumstances." The current Qin Yu was completely relaxed.

Inside Qin Yu's dantian's space.

The current Black Hole was already not at all like before. It no longer had the three golden rings of lights and has turned into a golden channel. On the other side of the channel, in the flour paste space, there originally existed a two-three meters range area that belonged to Qin Yu.

However, the space that belonged to Qin Yu has now reached about ten meters in length and width.

At the same time... this space was slowly enlarging at an extremely tiny and undetectable rate.

"In this flour paste space, the small space that belonged to me has turned into a 'Stellar Space' now." Said Qin Yu in his heart.

Inside the Stellar Space, an astonishing change had occurred to the previously immobile Black Hole Energy. Currently, there was a lump of energy rotating about, much like the enormous nebula that Qin Yu had seen. As for the Black Hole Energy, it was being revolved and gathered unceasingly, turning into tiny golden specks.

Upon the moment when Qin Yu's awareness entered into this Stellar Space, he discovered...

A countless amount of golden specks were slowly revolving according to a methodically arranged trajectory and forming a nebula spheroid.

Upon closer inspection, one would discover... traces of muddled flour paste energies were passing through the 'Stellar Space' and into it. Only through absorbing the flour paste energy, was the golden Black Hole Energy able to form those golden specks.

Those countless amounts of golden specks were formed through the slow transformation of 'flour paste energy.'

The flour paste energy from the outside was being absorbed. As more of the flour paste energy was absorbed, there formed void areas within the flour paste space. As the void was formed, the 'Stellar Space' naturally expanded.

"This flour paste energy is truly profound. What exactly is that flour paste-like energy?" Qin Yu pondered in his heart. Immediately after, he started to smile. "Inside the flour paste space, this flour paste-like energy is boundless and everywhere, taking up all of the space. Only through absorbing a lot of it, will my Stellar Space be able to occupy a greater area."

Qin Yu did not understand it completely.

However, his intuition tells him that... the flour paste-like energy was a good thing and thus he should absorb it unceasingly. Also, the greater the size of his Stellar Space, the better.

Currently, Qin Yu was still slowly absorbing the flour paste-like energy, to allow the amount of golden specks that formed the spheroid nebula inside his body to become greater. Qin Yu also understood that... all he was doing right now, was storing up reservation power. He had yet to actually reach the gateway to the ninth stage.

Cyan Flame Star Field, Flowing Mist Star.

"The Flowing Mist Star is as beautiful and tranquil as before." Qin Yu appeared in the sky of the Flowing Mist Star. In merely two or three steps, he arrived at the largest city of the three great cities on the Flowing Mist Star, Vast Sky City.

The city gates of the Vast Sky City was wide and broad.

Upon seeing Qin Yu walking toward the gate, the gate guard started to have a hard time breathing. He did not even dare move forward to inquire who Qin Yu was.

"Who is this person? No, I must immediately go notify the lord." Seeing Qin Yu's figure walking past, that guard had already decided what to do in his mind.

There are numerous cultivators in Vast Sky City. However, majority of them are only level one Heavenly Demons. Rarely are Demon King level experts ever seen. At the very least, as Qin Yu walked, the strongest person he had discovered was merely a level one Demon King, and it was also the sole Demon King that he saw.

Thus, as it could be seen, there are very few experts on the Flowing Mist Star.

"Master."

Dong Xue's figure suddenly appeared beside Qin Yu. She said to Qin Yu respectfully.

Qin Yu took a glance at Dong Xue and then slightly nodded. "Did you manage to complete the mission that I assigned you?"

"Yes, Master, it is complete. Currently, the entire Flowing Mist Star is under our control. No matter who it was that entered the Flowing Mist Star, they were unable to escape our surveillance." Said Dong Xue respectfully.

Qin Yu nodded indifferently. "Good, bring me to your current residence."

"Yes."

Immediately after, Dong Xue turned into a ray of light and shot off toward the sky. Casually, Qin Yu followed behind Dong Xue. In merely a blink of an eye, Qin Yu followed Dong Xue to another city. They have arrived in front of the palace gate in the extreme north of the Vast Pattern City.

"Master, this is our current residence." Said Dong Xue respectfully.

Qin Yu slowly raised his head. His gaze landed on those three large words and muttered. "Five Willows Palace, why such a name?"

"Master, to the outside, it was merely said that five Demon Kings had constructed this palace here. The master of this palace was thus those five Demon Kings. Those five Demon Kings were the Spiritual Beasts that master had dispatched; two level nine Demon Kings and three level eight Demon Kings. This subordinate merely hides herself behind the scenes." Said Dong Xue respectfully.

Qin Yu nodded.

"I believe there are no subordinates of the Peng Demon Emperor on the Flowing Mist Star right now?" Asked Qin Yu.

Dong Xue nodded and said. "Yes. For this tiny planet, the Peng Demon Emperor would not dispatch his experts over. Furthermore, even if he were to dispatch people over, they wouldn't be able to tell Master's identity. Only a hundred years ago did the Peng Demon Emperor send people over to transmit an order to the Five Willow Palace to tell them to pay attention in the case where three male experts were to appear and to immediately inform them if they were to appear."

"This Peng Demon Emperor is truly smart." Qin Yu had a smile on his face.

Qin Yu, Hou Fei and Hei Yu; with the strength of them three brothers, one must be at least a level eight Demon Emperor in order to discover their identity. However, how many level eight Demon Emperors were there in the entire Bird Clan?

With their current arrangement of reporting upon noticing three male experts, it would allow for a high chance of success.

"Well then, Dong Xue, where would we normally live at?" Asked Qin Yu.

Dong Xue said respectfully. "Master, the Pure Flow Mansion inside the Five Willows Palace is the place that this subordinate has prepared for Master. Master and the other Lords could live there. Master could also stroll around the Flowing Mist Star as you wish. This subordinate is able to guarantee that on the Flowing Mist Star, there definitely will not be anyone who could find out Master's identity."

"Mn." Qin Yu's Immortal Awareness spread out.

"It seems like Little Tong's attire has changed." With a single step, Qin Yu arrived inside the Five Willows Palace.

Inside the garden of the Clear Flow Mansion. In the Clear Flow Mansion, other than Dong Xue and Hei Tong, others were absolutely not allowed in.

The current Hei Tong now looked like a woman . She was dressed in a yellow garment. With bright eyes and white teeth, her appearance was very adorable and pretty. At this moment, Hei Tong was fiddling with a flower. From time to time, a smile would appear on her face. Who knows what she might be thinking about in her mind.

"Little Tong." A familiar voice sounded.

Puzzled, Hei Tong turned around. Upon seeing the person who had arrived, pleasantly surprised, Hei Tong yelled. "Eldest Uncle!" As she yelled, she immediately fell into Qin Yu's embrace.

With but a thought from Qin Yu.

Hei Yu, Hou Fei, Bai Ling, Ye Qu and Wu Lan suddenly appeared inside the courtyard.

Hei Yu, Hou Fei and the rest were startled. Immediately, they started looking around. However, they quickly came to a realization and sprung up in ecstasy.

"Father, Mother, Uncle Wu..." Hei Tong's eyes were shining.

"Little Tong." Bai Ling was so happy that her eyes turned red.

"Big brother." Hou Fei and Hei Yu were looking at Qin Yu with excitement.

Chapter 36 – Stirrings of Love

Whether it was Qin Yu with his brothers Hou Fei and Hei Yu, or Hei Yu with his family. It had been a long time since they last saw each other. Everyone was very excited. On the same day, they set up a banquet in the Pure Flow Mansion of the Five Willows Palace.

Exchanging glasses, everyone was very excited and smiling.

Qin Yu's gaze swept past. His Immortal Awareness that had already reached the level of a level nine Immortal Emperor's clearly discovered everyone's strength. Suddenly, Qin Yu looked to Ye Qu in amazement. "Ye Qu, you've also reached level eight Demon Emperor?"

For Fei Fei and Xiao Hei to have a large improvement was something that Qin Yu had expected. With the Black Stick and the Cloud Piercing Spear, which were bestowed by Uncle Lan and their aptitude as Super Divine Beasts, there was no need to puzzle over their fast improvement speed. This Ye Qu appeared to have been stuck at the level seven Demon Emperor level for a long time; how did he manage to achieve a breakthrough in merely a thousand years?

"What? Only you're allowed to have such a fast progress and not me?" Said Ye Qu complacently. Suddenly, he looked to Qin Yu and said puzzledly. "Qin Yu, could it be that you've achieved another breakthrough in the 'Nine Steps Dark Gold Body?'"

Qin Yu smiled and was about to speak.

"You'd best not tell me that you've reached the seventh stage!" Said Ye Qu solemnly.

"Oh?" Qin Yu was puzzled.

Why doesn't this Ye Qu want him to tell him?

"I'm afraid that I cannot take the shock." Said Ye Qu with resentment. "It's merely been a hundred years outside of the Jiang Lan's Realm for you. To reach the seventh stage from the sixth stage in a hundred years, if you were to have truly accomplished that, then you're beyond human."

Qin Yu understood.

"Heh heh... I have already stayed at the sixth stage for several hundred years during the time in the Jiang Lan's Realm when I bitterly trained for a thousand years. For me to reach the seventh stage now, it can't be considered as being extremely fast." Said Qin Yu while smiling.

Ye Qu said stammeringly. "You've actually reached the seventh stage?"

Earlier, Ye Qu was merely guessing and joking around. Never did he expect that Qin Yu had actually reached the seventh stage.

"Yes, I've reached the seventh stage. However, I'm afraid that I'm still a bit weaker than you as you've already reached the eighth stage. Fei Fei... you've improved pretty fast." Qin Yu looked to Hou Fei.

"Gaga, of course." Hou Fei's face with filled with contentment.

Currently, Hou Fei was already a level seven Demon Emperor. One must know that the further down the line, the harder it'll become to progress. Even with Hou Fei's talent and the assistance from the Black Stick, it still took Hou Fei nearly a thousand years before he could reach a breakthrough.

"Monkey merely achieved a breakthrough ten years ago. If Big Brother were to open the Jiang Lan's Realm from the outside at exactly a hundred year's time, then Monkey would likely still be a level six Demon Emperor." Said Hei Yu deliberately undering from the side.

"You don't have to be jealous of me, Mixed Hair Bird. It'll take you at least several more thousands of years before you can reach a level seven Demon Emperor." Said Hou Fei with an air of complacency. Qin Yu instead was inwardly pondering to himself.

In this bitter training, his brothers' strength had increased a lot. Especially Hou Fei... he was now a level seven Demon Emperor Super Divine Beast. He's now at the same level as Ao Wuming. If one were to add on his mystical Stick Techniques, then he's comparable to a level nine Immortal Emperor.

As for Qin Yu... there was hardly any discrepancy between them. At the very least, if a level eight Immortal Emperor were to stand in front of Qin Yu, then this level eight Immortal Emperor would be courting death.

"Qin Yu." Wu Lan who stood to the side said while smiling. "Seeing the current strength of you three brothers, even if three level nine Immortal Emperors attacked you all, you all would still be capable of escaping safely. There is not much assistance that I, Wuxu and the others could provide to you all now."

Wu Lan clearly believed that Qin Yu had enough strength to defend himself.

"Still not enough." Said Qin Yu grudgingly. "With our current strength, although we would not be particularly afraid of Emperor Yu or Mystic Emperor, but that Peng Demon Emperor is truly difficult. Back then, I personally experienced his speed. His speed was at the very least three or four times my own. If we were to truly fight, then I'd be at a complete disadvantage. Furthermore... the Peng Demon Emperor's attacks are very powerful. Even with my current defense, I believe that he would be capable of breaking my defense with merely a single fist."

"Peng Demon Emperor, Dragon Emperor, Great Ape Emperor. These three individuals are not people that ordinary level nine Immortal Emperors can be compared with." Said Qin Yu after exhaling a long breath.

With Qin Yu's current strength, he no longer feared ordinary experts. However, an enemy that possessed an Inherited Treasure was still too powerful.

"If I were to fight against the Dragon Emperor, I'd be completely unable to match up against him. However... against the Peng Demon Emperor, I am still able to block his attack during the moment of crisis and save your life." Said Wu Lan with a light smile.

Ye Qu who stood to the side also opened his large mouth. He laughed and said. "Qin Yu, you can rest assured. With Boss Wu Lan's strength, although he's unable to block that Dragon Emperor, he is able to block against that Peng Demon Emperor. Even I... once my 'Nine Steps Dark Gold Body' reaches the ninth stage, too would dare to compete against that Peng Demon Emperor."

Qin Yu looked to Wu Lan in amazement.

Qin Yu was pleasantly surprised. Back then, the Dragon Emperor used his strength to suppress Immortal Emperor Ni Yang and forced him to release Ao Wuxu. At that time, Wu Lan had already resigned himself to being inferior to the Dragon Emperor.

Qin Yu had thought the entire time that... as Wu Lan was inferior to the Dragon Emperor, he ought to be inferior to the Peng Demon Emperor too. After all, the Peng Demon Emperor is about at the same level as the Dragon Emperor. However, who would've expected that Wu Lan would say that he can block the Peng Demon Emperor.

"Senior Wu Lan, wasn't the Peng Demon Emperor's strength about the same as the Dragon Emperor?" Hei Yu who stood to the side asked.

Qin Yu, Hou Fei and the rest all looked to Wu Lan. They too were wondering about that.

Wu Lan lightly smiled and said. "As the saying goes... each person has their strong points and weak points. Although there are barely any discrepancies between Peng Demon Emperor and the Dragon Emperor, I just happen to possess a strong point that could restrain this Peng Demon Emperor. Thus, I am able to block him. Of course, I could only block him. His speed is too fast... it's impossible for me to defeat him."

"Oh..." Qin Yu somewhat understood.

"Uncle Wu, you're so powerful. Little Tong hereby offers Uncle Wu a toast." Hei Tong, who had been by the side listening the entire time, suddenly stood up and said while beaming with smiles.

Upon seeing Hei Tong, Wu Lan had a pampering expression in his eyes. "Good, good, the wine offered by Little Tong, I will definitely drink that."

Wu Lan, Ye Qu and even Ao Wuxu were very pampering toward Hei Tong. After all, they watched her grow up.

After the feast.

Qin Yu, Hou Fei, Hei Yu and Bai Ling remained in the Clear Flow Mansion. Wu Lan also remained in the Clear Flow Mansion. To Wu Lan, training wasn't of dire importance. As for Ye Qu, he returned back into the Jiang Lan's Realm to train.

Ye Qu wanted to use the Jiang Lan's Realm to assist him in becoming a level nine Demon Emperor sooner.

The days on the Flowing Mist Star were very tranquil and happy for Qin Yu and them. Occasionally, the three brothers would spar with each other. Occasionally, they would enjoy drinking to their heart's content. Occasionally, they would enjoy the sceneries of the Flowing Mist Star. Essentially, the three brothers lived free and leisurely.

As for Wu Lan, he had also been freely strolling around the three cities of the Flowing Mist Star. He was spending his days contentedly.

On a certain day.

Qin Yu and his two brothers were drinking inside the courtyard mansion. As Qin Yu continued to drink, he suddenly came to a stop. His gaze turned to the sky; it was as if he was thinking about something.

"Big brother, what are you thinking about?" Hou Fei and Hei Yu took a glance at each other. Soon after, Hou Fei laid down his wine cup and asked.

"Oh." Qin Yu woke back up from his recollections.

"Earlier, I was thinking... it has been several hundred years since we arrived in the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm, even if we aren't counting the extra time spent in the Jiang Lan's realm. I wonder if my royal father, big brother and second brother have ascended to the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm yet." Said Qin Yu with a slight sigh.

"With my royal father and them's cultivation speed, I reckon they have yet to ascend. However, as to what the reality is, it was also hard to say. Who knows, maybe my royal father and them would cultivate very fast?" Qin Yu had a bitter smile on his face.

Hei Yu who stood to the side consoled. "Big brother, you don't have to mind too much about it. Once one sets foot on the path of cultivation, one will only be able to rely on oneself. If you can help, then you'll help. If you can't... then you also shouldn't think too much about it."

Qin Yu nodded.

"Hey, big brother, are you able to open the second layer of the Jiang Lan's Realm now?" Suddenly asked Hou Fei. "Your strength ought to be very powerful now, you should be able to right?"

Qin Yu shook his head.

Opening the second layer of the Jiang Lan's Realm?

Although Qin Yu's current strength was pretty good, as his Nine Steps Dark Gold Body has reached the seventh stage and his Nine Steps Force was also pretty powerful, it was still insufficient in opening the second layer of the Jiang Lan's Realm.

"I am still quite a bit of distance away from being able to open the second layer of the Jiang Lan's Realm. This is not something that we can rush." As Qin Yu said that, he suddenly turned his head around. Hou Fei and Hei Yu also turned their head around toward the doorway. What they saw was Hei Tong dressed in yellow garments laughing charmingly.

"Little Tong, did something happen?" Said Hei Yu with a bit of icy-coldness. However, his speech also gave off a sense of a strict father.

Hei Tong glanced at Hei Yu. She then chuckled. "Father, I wanna go to take a stroll on the Green Blue Star."

"Green Blue Star?" Hei Yu was puzzled. "Why do you want to go there? I believe this Flowing Mist Star is not small, you should be fine taking a stroll across the three cities of the Flowing Mist Star."

Hei Tong humphed. She then switched targets and looked to Qin Yu. Her large eyes were brightly looking at Qin Yu. "Eldest Uncle, I wanna go to the Green Blue Star."

"Green Blue Star, that's the core planet of the Green Blue Galaxy that the Flowing Mist Star is located in. In that place, crooks are mixed in with the honest folks. Why do you want to go there?" Asked Qin Yu.

"I just wanna go. I already went there last year with master. No one there knows who I am. It's not dangerous for me." Hei Tong hurriedly explained. Upon hearing that, Qin Yu smiled. "Fine then, if you wanna go then you can go."

"Yay~~ Eldest Uncle is the best to me." Hei Tong immediately hugged Qin Yu and said happily.

"Big brother." Hei Yu said with a frown.

"Hey, Mixed Hair Bird, it's just the Green Blue Star. What's so alarming about that?" Said Hou Fei.

Qin Yu said. "Xiao Hei, my soul's level has already reached that of a level nine Immortal Emperor's. Even if it were the Peng Demon Emperor, his soul's level is merely at a level eight Demon Emperor's. As long as I follow Little Tong, no danger would come to her."

Qin Yu was very confident.

With how high his soul realm's level was now, there were barely any people in the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm that are capable of discovering him. Yet, he was able to discover them.

"Well, okay." Hei Yu nodded. He then looked to Hei Tong with a strict expression. "Little Tong, you must certainly listen to your Eldest Uncle."

"Eldest Uncle, you're also going?" Said Hei Tong with a ugly expression.

"What, I can't?" Asked Qin Yu with a smile. He had a feeling that... Little Tong had a little secret.

"It's, it's fine." Hei Tong tried her best to squeeze out a smile.

As the core planet of a galaxy the number of experts here on the Green Blue Star was clearly greater than on the Flowing Mist Star. There were also a lot of Immortal and Devil Experts. The crooks are mixed in with the honest folk. Currently, Qin Yu and Hei Tong were in a restaurant.

Within the Hei Tong's hand that was placed underneath the table was a Transmission Spiritual Pearl.

"Eldest Uncle, I want to go out and stroll the city by myself." Said Hei Tong as she stared at Qin Yu.

"By yourself?" Qin Yu was a bit puzzled.

Hen Tong nodded her head repeatedly. She then puffed her cheeks and started to act coquettishly. "Eldest Uncle, just let me go and stroll around."

"I'm going to see what kind of trick you have in your mind." Qin Yu's Immortal Awareness had already discovered the Spiritual Transmission Pearl in Hei Tong's hand. "Fine, but make sure to not make trouble and create difficulties for me."

"Hehe, definitely, definitely."

Cheerfully, Hei Tong rushed out of the restaurant. Immediately, she had slipped away. However, Qin Yu's Immortal Awareness had covered the entire Green Blue Star in an instant. Unless there were experts at the level nine Immortal Emperor's soul realm's level, no one else could determine that Qin Yu was looking over them.

"Hey, Yu Wei, have you heard that a large movement has happened in our Immortal Realm?" An Immortal inside the restaurant spoke. "Having been in the Demon Realm the entire time, I've grown unfamiliar with what's happening in the Immortal Realm."

Another cyan clothed youth nodded his head and said. "That's right, a large movement has occurred in the Immortal Realm. A couple hundred years ago, Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor combined their powers. Not long ago, another power had suddenly emerged. I think their leader was called the Flame Emperor. And a couple days ago... the Cyan Emperor has abdicated his power and gave his leader position to his brother."

"The Cyan Emperor is completely fine, why would be abdicate?" Asked that Immortal.

The youth called Yu Wei shook his head. "Who knows why. Back then, Emperor Yu abdicated after being knocked down by Senior Qin Yu. However, this Cyan Emperor, his reputation has spread wide and far, why would he abdicate?"

"The Cyan Emperor abdicated?"

Qin Yu's brows creased. He raised his wine cup and drained the cup with a single gulp. However, he was still pondering in his heart. "I remember that during the time on the Crescent Moon Bay, a certain marital technique of the Cyan Emperor seemed to be successfully accomplished. For him to abdicate now, could it be that he... is going to undergo the Divine Tribulation?"

Qin Yu was shocked.

"Furthermore, when did there emerge a Flame Emperor in the Immortal Realm? Never heard of him. I'll forget about it." Qin Yu decided not to think further about it. And at this moment, the people in the restaurant were chatting unceasingly. Some were chatting about the great figures of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm. Others were chatting the trifle matters of certain sects.

Suddenly, Qin Yu's eyes shined. "So it turns out that this little lass Hei Tong wanted to come to the Green Blue Star for precisely this."

...

Inside a private room of another restaurant.

Hei Tong was currently chatting with a level one Heavenly Demon level youth. This youth appeared to be very simple and honest. There was always a guileless smile on his face.

"Big Guy, you didn't grow worried waiting, right? It took me a month in order to come out." Said Hei Tong while giggling. Her quick witted eyes were spinning around and around as they looked at that simple and honest youth.

The simple and honest youth shook his head repeatedly. "No, not at all. I have nothing important to do anyway. Usually, I just train on a mountain top outside of the city."

"Big Guy, here you go." Hei Tong stretched out her hand and ten High Quality Elemental Spirit Stones appeared on top of the table. "Seeing that your strength is that weak and you're that poor, take these Elemental Spirit Stones and go home and cultivate with them. I have a lot of these."

The simple and honest youth shook his head repeatedly. "No, I can't. I can't take these."

"If you're not taking them, then I'll be leaving." After saying that, with an angry expression, Hei Tong prepared to leave.

The simple and honest youth grew anxious. Momentarily, he didn't know whether he should prevent Hei Tong from leaving or take those ten High Quality Elemental Spirit Stones. However, Hei Tong eyes were currently flickering with a smiling expression.

"This naughty little lass. So she has fallen in love." Qin Yu who was in another restaurant started to smile. He raised his wine cup and slowly started to drink.

Chapter 37 – Guo Fan

"Merely by looking at this youth's Nascent Soul, he's only at the level of a level one Heavenly Demon. However, when looking at his soul, his soul realm is that of a level three Heavenly Demon. This is truly strange." Qin Yu was puzzled. With how powerful Qin Yu currently was, he was able to see through that youth from a single glance.

This youth, his true form ought to be an ordinary demonic beast from the Flying Bear Clan; he was not even a Divine Beast.

[TL: Not sure if this is a typo from the author... but he wrote flying bear clan. Not sure if he meant 'flying birds' aka. Bird Clan aka. just a regular Bird Clan's Demonic Beast.]

After pondering for a moment, Qin Yu continued to monitor Hei Tong and that youth in the restaurant.

"I'll accept it, okay?" The simple and honest youth said hurriedly.

Only then did Hei Tong sit back down complacently. "That's more like it." Hei Tong appeared to be very happy. "Big Guy, last time when I met you, I didn't even have the time to get your name yet. Can you tell me your name?"

The simple and honest youth took a deep breath and roused up his courage before saying. "My name is Guo Fan!"

"Guo Fan, oh, Guo Fan." Hei Tong recited the name softly a couple times.

"My name is Hei Tong." A voice suddenly sounded. This voice was very low, it was so low that Guo Fan didn't even hear it. Guo Fan was startled. "Young lady, what did you say earlier?"

"Not going to repeat it if you didn't hear it properly."

Hei Tong immediately stood up and proceeded to walk out of the private room. "Guo Fan, accompany me in strolling around the street."

"Is she called Hei Tong? Hei Tong, Hei Tong is a great name." Guo Fan muttered a couple times in a low voice. Immediately after, he promptly stood up. "Coming."

Guo Fan.

His true form was merely that of an ordinary demonic beast of the Flying Bear Clan. His mother had already been killed long ago by her enemy. Only his father was alive. It was just that his father's cultivation level was even weaker than his own. However, Guo Fan strived to improve himself. Upon reaching the Heavenly Demon level, he departed from his hometown and arrived at this large planet... the Green Blue Star.

He was unable to afford living in the Green Blue Star City and thus was only able to live in the wilds, outside of the city. Usually, he would clench his teeth and continue to bitterly cultivate. His goal was to strive harder and harder until one day where he could become a man amongst men, so that his father could be proud of him, so that he no longer have to live in the bottom class.

Simple and honest?

Majority of the people who met Guo Fan thought of him as being simple and honest. However, being simple and honest was merely Guo Fan's manner of conduct. In reality, he was very intelligent and understood everything.

"Guo Fan, look. The sculptures here are extremely refined." Hei Tong was standing in front of a shop by the street excitedly. She was carefully looking at each and every little sculpture dolls of this shop. The majority of the sculptures in this shop come in pairs.

Hei Tong walked into the store and immediately took fancy upon a pair of sculptures.

"Guo Fan, look, doesn't this fat doll look like you? It's cute just like you." Hei Tong suddenly turned around and spoke to Guo Fan with her head raised. The current Hei Tong was laughing very happily.

Upon seeing Hei Tong, who was laughing with her head raised up high, Guo Fan's heart suddenly started throbbing. However, a sense of inferiority rushed forth from the bottom of Guo Fan's heart. Subconsciously, Guo Fan clenched his fists.

He liked Hei Tong. However, ever since the first time he met her where she casually gave him a Transmission Spiritual Pearl so that they could contact each other, with merely that... Guo Fan knew already that Hei Tong's status was not something he could match up against.

Guo Fan had once thought of leaving. However, he still had a trace of hope in the bottom of his heart.

"This is me, this is you." Hei Tong picked out another doll, this time it was a female. Happily, she smiled and said. "Guo Fan, these two dolls, should we purchase them?"

"Boss, I'm buying these two carvings." Guo Fan immediately turned around and said to that boss.

"Three Low Quality Elemental Spirit Stones." Said the old man unenthusiastically.

Three Low Quality Elemental Spirit Stones. Although it sounded very cheap, in reality it was merely two carvings. Had it been during normal times, Guo Fan would definitely not spend three Low Quality Elemental Spirit Stones in purchasing carvings that are almost completely useless.

"Here are three Low Quality Elemental Spirit Stones." Without any hesitation, Guo Fan handed over the payment.

Guo Fan turned around to look to Hei Tong. His face suddenly turned a bit red. "Tong... can I call you Tong Tong?"

"Ah..." Hei Tong opened her eyes wide as she looked at Guo Fan. After a short moment, she reacted. "Tong Tong, if you want to call me that then go ahead. Your mouth is grown on your face, I cannot control what you say." After disorderly mumbling for a bit, Hei Tong walked out of the store with the two sculptures and a reddened face.

"Yay!"

Guo Fan clenched his two fists. He was excited from the bottom of his heart.

"Truly guileless. However, he's doing a bit better than how I was back then." Qin Yu was watching everything from beginning to end. "At the very least this Guo Fan dared to take the step forward. I, on the other hand, had spent all that time with Li'er and didn't dare to say a single sentence."

Just by seeing Guo Fan's expression from earlier, Qin Yu had grown fond of this simple and honest youth.

If this Guo Fan wanted to become Hei Tong's life companion, at the very least, Qin Yu believed that... he would definitely support him.

At this moment, Guo Fan still didn't know that there was a super expert paying attention to him. He was still very excited. His face had even grew a bit feverish. The current Hei Tong, on the other hand, was even more extreme. Her face was so red that it's comparable to that of an apple.

Guo Fan and Hei Tong walked on the street side by side. They were momentarily stunned as to what to say.

"Guo Fan, why aren't you talking?" Hei Tong suddenly spoke.

"I, I don't know what to say." At this moment, Guo Fan was feeling somewhat blank.

Hei Tong suddenly said. "Guo Fan, which street are we on now? How many turns have we made?"

Guo Fan looked to the surroundings and suddenly discovered... that it seemed like they were lost. Guo Fan who was overly excited earlier was in a completely floating and fleeting state. His brain was in a complete chaos. He was not looking at where they were going at all. The turns they made were also all done in random.

"Oh, that's right, I remembered." Guo Fan suddenly saw a building that was over a hundred floors tall. Upon seeing this signature building, Guo Fan immediately recalled where they were. After all, he had been in the Green Blue Star for quite a while now. "I am not certain about the name of this street. However, I do know about the directions."

Hei Tong also appeared to have regain her liveliness. "Guo Fan, can you tell me about your parents?"

"My father, he's a servant in an restaurant on an ordinary planet of the Green Blue Galaxy. My father's greatest wish is for me to attain the level of Demon King. If I were to become a Demon King, then I would become a big shot in the planet that we are from."

Guo Fan's gaze turned misty. He shook his head and said. "However, I do not wish to confine myself in a small planet. That's why I came to the Green Blue Star. I have been striving my hardest in cultivating, giving it my all... I believe that there will definitely be a day where I achieve success." Subconsciously, Guo Fan had clenched his right fist tightly.

Hei Tong raised her head to look at Guo Fang. Suddenly, she sensed that the current Guo Fan was somewhat different from the Guo Fan who was ordinarily simple and honest. However, the current Guo Fan was even more attractive to her.

"Guo Fan, do you have a goal?" Suddenly asked Hei Tong.

"Goal? I do not have a clear goal. I merely want strength, so that no one will be able to oppress me and my relatives. I merely want to live comfortably and happily with my relatives. However, I know that in a world like the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm, one must possess sufficient strength in order to not get oppressed. Thus, I must strive my hardest." Said Guo Fan resolutely.

"Foolish boy."

Qin Yu smiled. He then raised his head and took a gulp of wine from his wine glass. "Live comfortably and happily; not being threatened and oppressed by others. Even if you were to reach Emperor level, there are still others that could threaten you. Although this kind of goal might look to be very easily obtainable, in reality... even if you reach Emperor level, you still won't have reached your goal."

Seeing Guo Fan, Qin Yu remembered himself during the times in the Mortal Realm. The him from back then, wanted his relatives to live happily and not be threatened.

As he forged ahead, his current strength was already close to the level of ordinary level nine Immortal Emperor. However, he still has to strive harder.

"Foolish boy, I hope that you'll be able to live a more relaxed life than mine."

Everyone has their own path. Likewise, Guo Fan has his own path too.

Guo Fan continued to chat with Hei Tong. He was talking about his past, his friends, his relatives. Gradually... half a day passed.

"Guo Fan, I'm afraid that I can only stay on the Green Blue Star for a couple days. If it wasn't for my Eldest Uncle... then I reckon that I wouldn't even be able to come to the Green Blue Star at all." Said Hei Tong helplessly with her mouth bulged up.

Puzzled, Guo Fan said. "Could it be that your parents aren't even willing for you to come to the Green Blue Star?"

"Mn... my parents have an enemy. This enemy is very powerful. My parents are a bit weaker." Said Hei Tong helplessly. "However I know that my Eldest Uncle and them are very powerful right now. Soon, they would not have to fear that enemy anymore."

"I believe your Eldest Uncle and them would succeed." Guo Fan nodded.

"Eh? Young Lady, are you from our Eagle Clan?" Suddenly a voice sounded.

Guo Fan and Hei Tong simultaneously raised their head and looked over. What they saw was a black clothed youth smiling and walking over with two middle aged man. That black clothed youth carefully looked at Hei Tong. "Eagle Clan, furthermore a Divine Beast from the Eagle Clan. Uncles, this one should conform the requirement right?"

The two middle aged men both looked at Hei Tong with a expression as if they were inspecting goods. Soon after, one of the middle aged men nodded and said. "This woman conforms with the regulation."

"Ah! After so long, I've finally found one who is attractive." Said the black clothed youth excitedly.

"What are you all doing?" Hei Tong opened her eyes wide and said angrily.

Guo Fan who stood to the side also sensed that something was amiss. However, he continued to stand beside Hei Tong. No matter what happens, he would not hide himself.

The black clothed youth said while beaming with smiles. "Young lady, I am Liu Qu of the Eagle Clan. My true form is that of a Cyan Flame Eagle, the High Level Divine Beast of our Eagle Clan. According to the rules of the clan, as a High Level Divine Beast, my life companion ought to be from our eagle clan. At the same time, she ought to be a Divine Beast. Only then would our descendents have a higher chance of being a Cyan Flame Eagle."

"In your dreams!"

Hei Tong grew angry. She looked like an angry little lion. "You little scoundrel, you actually dared to act like so to this young lady. I will definitely make you regret it."

"Little lady." A middle aged man standing behind the black clothed youth said indifferently. "Young master Liu Qu is the next clan chief of our Eagle Clan. As an eagle clansman, you have a responsibility to devote yourself to our clan. As young master Liu Qu has chosen you, you must comply. This is your honor. If you were to resist... then the consequences of your action is not something that you are capable of bearing."

Hei Tong cursed in rage. "Utter bullshit!"

"How truly bold and vigorous. Your angry appearance is truly adorable." The black clothed youth appeared to be very happy.

Hei Tong's angry appearance was indeed adorable. Qin Yu, Hou Fei and them had mentioned this before and Hei Tong was even happy about that. However, at this moment, Hei Tong was extremely angry.

"Tong Tong, you leave first."

Guo Fan suddenly stood in front of Tong Tong. His gaze was determined like water. "Tong Tong is already my life's companion. If you all want to snatch her, then you must first go through me." At this moment, Guo Fan didn't care about his life or death at all. At this moment, Guo Fan believed that he must stand forward.

"Go through you? Brat." The black clothed youth appeared to have heard some kind of joke. "Are you sure you're not stupid? You're merely a level one Heavenly Demon, this young lady is even stronger than you. Do you know what level I am? Level one Demon Emperor! Do you know the strength of my two uncles? They're both a lot stronger than me!"

Guo Fan's heart shivered.

Three Emperor level experts. Emperor level used to be something that he felt eminent and unapproachable.

However now, Guo Fan, who was determined even in the face of death, didn't move in the slightest.

Hei Tong, contrary to expectations, was not worried. She merely looked at the current Guo Fan. She was carefully looking at Guo Fan's expression. It was as if she was planning to forever remember that expression in the bottom of her heart. "Big Brother Guo Fan, you are unable to obstruct them at all, why do you still try to obstruct them?"

"If I were to not do this, then after today, I would regret it for the rest of my life." Guo Fan slightly raised his head. He stared at the three Emperor level experts in front of him. "They could kill me. However, they cannot make my heart surrender to them. Even if I am to die, I would look down upon them from the bottom of my heart."

A determined light flashed pass Guo Fan's eyes.

At this moment, the scene of his father entrusting the task upon him appeared in Guo Fan's mind. His father was awaiting him with anticipation. However today... Guo Fan clenched his teeth, his gaze grew even more resolute.

"Attaboy, you have guts." The black clothed youth smiled. "If you look down on me then go ahead and do that, I'll just kill you right now and seize the girl that you like; what could do you about it?" The black clothed youth's gaze was filled with an indifferent disdain.

"Eldest Uncle, if you were to continue to watch passively from the sidelines and not come out, then I would ignore you from today on!" Suddenly Hei Tong shouted loudly.

Qin Yu who was watching from the restaurant was startled.

Huff!

A grave and stern man suddenly appeared before Hei Tong and Guo Fang. However, at this moment, this man had a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

"Eldest Uncle, you finally decided to show up." Said Hei Tong with a bulged mouth. "These three people are too hateful."

Qin Yu took a glance at Guo Fan. "You're called Guo Fan? Mn, not bad; a pretty decent lad." Guo Fan felt that Qin Yu's amiable gaze was giving him a burst of warmth from the bottom of his heart. In this split second, he appeared to not be afraid of those three Emperor level experts at all.

"Who are you? You wish to step into the matters of our Eagle Clan?" Shouted the black clothed youth. He was giving off the aura of a person of high status.

"Eagle Clan? I don't even care about your clan chief Liu Tu, so why would I care about you three babies?" Said Qin Yu with a light smile.

Guo Fan saw a scene that had made him stupefied.

Three blurs suddenly appeared before the three men. Soon after, the three blurs disappeared. Qin Yu returned back to where he was standing. It was as if he had never moved at all.

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

The three men suddenly fell to the floor with a loud bang.

"What I hate the most is people forcing others. Especially forcing my relatives." With a wave of his sleeve, the three corpses turned to ash and disappeared.

After reaching the seventh stage of the 'Nine Steps Dark Gold Body,' one's entire body's bones were as strong as a Low Quality Divine Artifact. Qin Yu's entire body, regardless of whether it was his fists, feet, or fingers, they were all comparable to Divine Artifacts. Furthermore, they are Divine Artifacts that could restore themselves in an instant. Attacking with his strength, how could three Demon Emperors, with the strongest amongst them being a level five Demon Emperor, be able to escape alive?

"Little Tong, since that guy has died, it would become a bit troublesome for us to stay here. Let's go back." Said Qin Yu while smiling.

"Go back? Can't we wait a couple more days?" Hei Tong suddenly turned around to look at Guo Fan. Her gaze was filled with reluctance in parting.

Guo Fan was also reluctant to part.

"We cannot stay here any longer." Qin Yu did not fear the level eight Demon Emperor Liu Tu. However, he disliked trouble. Hearing Qin Yu saying that they cannot stay any longer so resolutely, both Hei Tong and Guo Fan's eyes were filled with a sense of loss and reluctance to part.

Qin Yu suddenly pointed at Guo Fan. "However, this fellow could follow us. If he were to stay here, then he'll definitely be killed when the Eagle Clan investigates."

"Yay, I knew that Eldest Uncle is the best." Excited, Hei Tong hugged Qin Yu.

Qin Yu smiled. "And who was it that said that she would ignore me from today on?"

"Eldest Uncle..." Hei Tong's face grew red. However, she still sneaked a peek at Guo Fan. Guo Fan's face was also filled with a happy expression. Only, he still sneaked a peek at Qin Yu. Earlier, the three Emperor level experts that he had thought to be eminent and unapproachable were killed in an instant. "I don't know when I would be as strong as Hei Tong's Eldest Uncle?!" Subconsciously, Guo Fan clenched his fists.

Chapter 38 – Divine Tribulation

In the outskirts of the Green Blue Star's city.

"Big Brother Guo Fan, my Eldest Uncle is about to use Greater Teleportation. You just have to stand still." Hei Tong said to Guo Fan in a low voice.

Shocked, Guo Fan asked. "Could it be that we're not going through the Interstellar Transmission Array?"

Even ordinary Demon Emperors would rarely use Greater Teleportation to travel. After all, the gap between the distance one could travel with Greater Teleportation and Interstellar Conveying Array was too great.

"If we were to use the Interstellar Conveying Array, then with merely the time we stood in line, I would've already been able to bring the two of you back with me." Grabbing a person with each hand, Qin Yu directly executed the Greater Teleportation and disappeared with Hei Tong and Guo Fan.

Bringing two people with him, Qin Yu was unable to arrive on the Flowing Mist Star right away. He took a stop on a uninhabited planet. Then, with another Greater Teleportation, he brought Hei Tong and Guo Fan with him to the Flowing Mist Star.

Inside the guest room of the Pure Flow Mansion inside the Five Willows Palace.

Hou Fei, Hei Yu, Wu Lan and even Dong Xue were all carefully inspecting Guo Fan.

"Tsk tsk, never had I expected that. Little Tong, you little lass, how long has it been since you've been out yet you've already brought back with you a guy. I, your Second Uncle, still don't even have a partner yet." Ridiculed Hou Fei with his head stretched out as stared at Guo Fan and Hei Tong back and forth.

Hei Tong, with her cheeks puffed, would occasionally look at her elders in front of her before lowering her head down in embarrassment. As for Guo Fan, he was somewhat reserved. He was able to sense that... the people in front of him, each and every one of them was an extraordinary expert.

"Big Brother Guo Fan, let me introduce you." Hei Tong pulled Guo Fan and brought him toward Wu Lan first. "Big Brother Guo Fan, this is Uncle Wu Lan. Uncle Wu Lan loves me the most. You can call him Uncle Wu Lan like me."

Wu Lan nodded as he smiled and laughed.

"Guo Fan paying his respect to Uncle Wu Lan." Guo Fan was very reserved. Although he wanted to act naturally, the group of people in front of him, albeit they were only standing there casually, were giving him an immense amount of mental pressure. After all, these people were all Emperor level experts. Furthermore, they were extremely powerful Emperor level experts.

Hei Tong then looked to Qin Yu. "This is my Eldest Uncle, you also know him. My Eldest Uncle is a very good person. Furthermore, his words are very useful."

"Guo Fan pays his respect to Eldest Uncle." Hearing what Hei Tong said, Guo Fan also understood that this Eldest Uncle's words are very useful amongst this group of people.

Qin Yu lightly smiled and then nodded.

"This is my Second Uncle, he's unrespectful toward his elders and always makes fun of me." Hei Tong creased her nose and said. Immediately, Hou Fei glared at her. The group of people in the guest room all started to laugh. Even Hei Yu whose expression wasn't that good the entire time had a smile on his face.

Hou Fei immediately opened his mouth and was about to speak.

"However, my Second Uncle plays with me the most. He also cares about me a lot from the bottom of his heart." Said Hei Tong sweetly. Only then did Hou Fei nod satisfiedly. He smiled and said. "Seems like you, girl, still know of my thoughts."

"Guo Fan pays his respect to Second Uncle." Said Guo Fan respectfully.

"Mn." Hou Fei nodded ostentatiously. Immediately after, he opened his eyes up wide and said. "Young man, listen carefully. If I were to find out that you've bullied Little Tong in the future, then I'll chop you into eight pieces." Fire-like radiance was being emitted from Hou Fei's wide open eyes. This caused Guo Fan to be startled.

Guo Fan merely nodded. At the same time, he took a glance at Hei Tong beside him.

"This is my master. You met her last time I was on the Green Blue Star." Hei Tong introduced Dong Xue. Immediately, Guo Fan saluted. Last time when Hei Tong went to the Green Blue Star with Dong Xue, Guo Fan had also gotten to know her when he got to know Hei Tong.

Hei Tong pulled Guo Fan's hand and brought him in front of Hei Tong and Bai Ling. Somewhat solemnly, she said. "They are my father and mother."

Guo Fan opened his mouth, he didn't know what to address them as.

Hei Yu frowned and humped coldly, causing Guo Fan to tremble in his heart.

Hei Yu regarded strength highly. However, this Guo Fan was merely an ordinary Demonic Beast. Hei Yu was even worried that... once he and his two brothers ascend to the Divine Realm, how could that Guo Fan be able to take care of his daughter? Seeing Guo Fan's current scared appearance, Hei Yu grew even more angry.

"Guo Fan, it's fine for you to call them uncle and aunty." Said Qin Yu as he smiled.

Guo Fan looked at Qin Yu with a thankful expression before immediately turning back toward Hei Yu and Bai Ling. Respectfully, he said. "Guo Fan pays his respect to uncle and aunty."

"Good. Good." Bai Ling was very happy. Hei Yu merely lightly nodded.

Afterwards, a banquet was held in the Pure Flow Mansion. Guo Fan henceforth became a person of the Five Willows Palace. The Five Willows Palace could be considered as the local tyrant of the Flowing Mist Star. No matter how enormous the power of the Eagle Clan was, the instant their power spread to the Flowing Mist Star, they would become unable to identify Guo Fan's status.

In the banquet.

Qin Yu, Hei Yu and Hou Fei walked out from the guest room.

"Xiao Hei, it seemed like you don't really like this Guo Fan." Qin Yu was able to tell that Hei Yu didn't like Guo Fan.

Hei Yu said indifferently. "Since Little Tong likes this foolish boy, there's nothing I can do about it. It's just that this Guo Fan's aptitude is truly ordinary. If we were to talk about the cultivation speed, then all three of us brothers are exceptional. However this Guo Fan... I could never imagine him being able to protect Little Tong in the future."

"Don't think about it too much. Everyone has their own fate. While innate talent is important, one's effort is even more important. How would you be able to know, how much Guo Fan will be able to accomplish in the future? Furthermore, what's most important is the fact that Little Tong likes him." Said Qin Yu while easing Hei Yu's anxiety.

Upon seeing Hei Yu's expression, Qin Yu knew that Hei Yu didn't agree with him. Immediately, he switched the topic. "Xiao Hei, this time around on the Green Blue Star, I killed three Demon Emperors of the Eagle Clan. One of them is even a High Level Divine Beast, the Cyan Flame Eagle. I estimate that this Eagle Clan won't let the matter be."

"Eagle Clan?" Hei Yu and Hou Fei were slightly startled. However, their expression remained unconcerned.

Now, in the entire Bird Clan, there was only the Peng Demon Emperor that would cause the three brothers to be careful.

"I am saying all this so that you two can take note of it. I will immediately order Dong Xue to take note of any foreigner on the Flowing Mist Star. After all, it is better to avoid unnecessary trouble." Qin Yu also did not care much about it in his heart.

Inside the core planet of the Bird Clan, the Black Crow Star's Imperial Palace.

Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan was current drinking and chatting with his two level eight Demon Emperor subordinates Ao Ku and Liu Tu.

Liu Tu suddenly took out a Transmission Spiritual Pearl. After a moment, Liu Tu's brows creased. He immediately stood up and said respectfully to the Peng Demon Emperor. "Your Majesty, something has happened in this subordinate's clan. Currently, I am requesting to be allowed to return to my clan to settle the matter."

"What grand matter is it? It shouldn't be too late for you to leave after we finish drinking." Said Ao Ku while smiling.

The Peng Demon Emperor's gaze landed on Liu Tu. "What major matter has happened?"

Liu Tu immediately replied respectfully. "A couple days ago, my clan's future clan chief as well as two Demon Emperors were killed by a mysterious expert on the Green Blue Star."

"Mysterious expert?" Said the Peng Demon Emperor disdainfully. "The next clan chief of your Eagle Clan, I remember he seemed to be a level one Demon Emperor? How strong were the other two Demon Emperors? I reckon that the person who killed them possessed merely an ordinary level of strength."

Liu Tu replied respectfully. "Toward Your Majesty, that mysterious expert's strength was naturally only ordinary. However, that person killed the future clan chief of my clan. As the current clan chief, I must take care of this mysterious expert."

"Leave after you finish drinking." Said the Peng Demon Emperor indifferently,without any tolerance.

"Yes." Liu Tu didn't dare to say anymore.

This drinking session was determined to be unable to continue on peacefully. After drinking another two cups, the Peng Demon Emperor picked up a Transmission Spiritual Pearl.

"Zong Yan, it's been a while since we contacted each other." That message caused the Peng Demon Emperor to stop drinking completely. That's because the man who sent that transmission was an expert that even the Peng Demon Emperor cannot see through... it was the expert known as Eternal, the Cyan Emperor.

"Brother Chi Qing, what matter might you have in finding me?" The Peng Demon Emperor was still courtesy toward the Cyan Emperor.

The Cyan Emperor transmitted. "I do have a matter for which I was searching for you... to be honest, in about a year's time, I will be undergoing the Divine Tribulation."

"Undergoing the Divine Tribulation?" The Peng Demon Emperor's heart jumped.

"That's right. I have decided to invite all my friends from the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm to attend my Divine Tribulation. I contacted you because I want to inform you to come and attend my Divine Tribulation. Zong Yan, are you interested in watching me undergo the Divine Tribulation?" The tone of the Cyan Emperor's transmission seemed to be very relaxed.

A beam of light flashed passed the Peng Demon Emperor's eyes. "Of course I'll be interested. Brother Chi Qing's Divine Tribulation, since you've invited me, how could I not show up?"

Usually, when people undergo Divine Tribulation, they would not tell others of where they'll be taking on the Divine Tribulation in order to prevent being disturbed by others. However, the Cyan Emperor instead was inviting people. That was something that's more strange. It's just that toward people like the Peng Demon Emperor, it was beneficial for them to watch a Divine Tribulation. Thus, he would naturally not miss this opportunity.

"Good. I estimate that my Divine Tribulation would arrive after a year. As for the exact time, I am still uncertain right now. I have already decided upon the location where I'll be undergoing the Divine Tribulation, it'll be on an uninhabited planet on the Angelica Dahurica Galaxy of the Immortal Realm's Plate Roe Star Field... the Ridge Peak Star. You merely have to arrive to the Jade Wave Star and my subordinate will naturally guide you to the Ridge Peak Star when the time comes." The Cyan Emperor declared the details of the location and timing.

The Peng Demon Emperor responded via transmission. "Good, I will certainly be there when the time comes."

"Zong Yan, you can also spread this information out. As long as they are able to arrive on the Ridge Peak Star during the time of my Divine Tribulation, then each and every one of them may attend my Divine Tribulation." Said the Cyan Emperor. Soon after, the Peng Demon Emperor and the Cyan Emperor cut off their transmission. However, the transmission from this time caused the Peng Demon Emperor to be confused.

Inside the Bird Clan's Imperial Palace.

The Peng Demon Emperor was thinking hard with creased brows.

"Your Majesty..." Ao Ku called with a low voice. Ao Ku and Liu Tu were both confused as to what the Peng Demon Emperor were thinking.

The Peng Demon Emperor lifted his head up. He looked to Ao Ku and Liu Tu. "Liu Tu, Ao Ku, let me ask the two of you, if the Cyan Emperor were to undergo the Divine Tribulation, why would he invite everyone from the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm? Undergoing the Divine Tribulation is a major event, is he not afraid of others stirring up trouble for him?"

"Your Majesty, did you say the Cyan Emperor is about to undergo the Divine Tribulation?" Both Ao Ku and Liu Tu were astonished.

In their minds, they had still thought that the mysterious Immortal Emperor, the Cyan Emperor, was still a level eight Immortal Emperor. Who would've expect that he was about to undergo the Divine Tribulation.

"That's right, Chi Qing is about to undergo the Divine Tribulation. Furthermore, he invited a countless number of people, from the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm, to attend his Divine Tribulation. Say, what do you think this Chi Qing has got up his sleeve?" The Peng Demon Emperor was pondering with his brows creased.

[TL: Chinese phrase that the Peng Demon Emperor used was 'What kind of medicine do you think this Chi Qing is selling in his gourd?']

Liu Tu suddenly spoke. "For the Cyan Emperor to dare do such a thing, it signifies that... he is certain that he'll be able to pass the Divine Tribulation and he isn't worried that others will cause problems for him." Ao Ku also nodded his head in approval. "That old fox Cyan Emperor, he's extremely secretive. For him to have cultivated all these years, he most definitely has a few special tricks up his sleeve."

The Peng Demon Emperor nodded and laughed coldly. "Back when I was still a child, this Chi Qing was already one of the hegemons of the Immortal Realm. However now, Chi Qing is no longer in any limelight. For him to suddenly invite countless people to watch him undergo the Divine Tribulation, I shall see what kind of powerful trick this Chi Qing has in his sleeve for him to be so confident in passing the Divine Tribulation."

Not only the Peng Demon Emperor. On this date, the Immortal Realm's Emperor Yu, Mystic Emperor and the newly emerged Flame Emperor, the Devil Realm's Blood Devil Emperor, Black Devil Emperor and Asura Devil Emperor and the Demon Realm's big shots of the Bird Clan, Dragon Clan and Beast Clan all received the Cyan Emperor's transmission.

The content of his transmission was very simple. He was merely inviting a bunch of people to watch his Divine Tribulation.

Furthermore, when the Cyan Emperor was sending his transmissions, he also informed those he sent the transmissions to... that they could spread the news of his Divine Tribulation so that even more people could go and attend it. No matter who it was, as long as they could arrive there at the time, then they would be allowed to attend his Divine Tribulation.

Such a large scale invitation of experts of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm to attend the Divine Tribulation, such a thing was extremely rare in the history of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm.

Of course, the majority of the people who have done such a thing in history were mostly one of the Three Emperors of the Demon Realm. Not a single Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Realm dared to do such a thing.

Qin Yu who was on the Flowing Mist Star had likewise received the Cyan Emperor's transmission.

In his transmission, the Cyan Emperor even praised Qin Yu. He praised how Qin Yu was actually able to kill the level eight Demon Emperor Bai Feng all by himself. This signified that Qin Yu had, at the very least, become one of the peak experts of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm. Only a small number of people could slightly suppress Qin Yu.

Flowing Mist Star. Inside the Clear Flow Mansion of the Five Willows Palace.

"Fei Fei, Xiao Hei, you two are to prepare yourselves. In a couple more days, we'll be setting off. This time, the Cyan Emperor's Divine Tribulation is also a good opportunity for us. Let's watch how the Divine Tribulation is first, it would help us prepare ourselves in the future." Said Qin Yu directly.

"Divine Tribulation, we must most certainly check it out." Hou Fei was somewhat excited.

Hei Yu muttered. "Big brother, how many of us are going this time? The Immortal Realm is located awfully far from the Flowing Mist Star; if we were to go, it would take us quite some time to return."

"The three of us. Wu Lan and Bai Ling could follow us too. As for Guo Fan and Little Tong, they'll be staying in the Five Willows Palace. With Dong Xue taking care of them and adding on the fact that this Flowing Mist Star could be considered as being under our rule, other people could not find them so they should be very safe." Qin Yu thought for a moment and then said.

Hei Yu and Hou Fei also nodded in approval.

Suddenly, Qin Yu flipped his hand around and took out a Transmission Spiritual Pearl.

"Qin Yu, have you also received the Cyan Emperor's transmission?" This transmission was sent from the prince of the Dragon Clan, Ao Wuming.

"Yes, I've received that too." Qin Yu replied.

"Qin Yu, you must definitely go this time around. A public Divine Tribulation, it would definitely attract a great amount of experts. Not only would Granny Yin Hua, Emperor Ni and them go, some true hidden experts might also appear. Those hidden experts do not care about reputations but instead care greatly about the Divine Tribulation. This occasion is certain to be huge." Ao Wuming appeared to be somewhat excited.

"True hidden experts?" Qin Yu also started to look forward to it.

Exactly how many hidden experts were there in the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm? Unless he truly met them, he would never know about them.

Chapter 39 – The Gathering on the Ridge Peak Star

Two days later.

"Dong Xue, in the period of time that we'll be away, Little Tong and Guo Fan are not allowed to leave the Flowing Mist Star; they are to continue to stay within the Five Willows Palace and train." Qin Yu entrusted the task to Dong Xue.

"Yes, Master." Said Dong Xue respectfully.

Seeing how serious Qin Yu was, Hei Tong and Guo Fan didn't dare utter a word. Hei Tong already knew that her own Eldest Uncle was usually very good to her. However, when he gets serious, he's extremely strict.

"Fei Fei, Xiao Hei, you can both go into the Jiang Lan's Realm first. I'll let you out when we reach the Immortal Realm. This Demon Realm is still not safe enough." Qin Yu turned around and said.

Qin Yu was certain that the Peng Demon Emperor had never relaxed his hunt for Qin Yu and his brothers. With the strength of the Peng Demon Emperor's subordinates, it was simply impossible for them to see through Qin Yu and them. Thus, there's a eight or nine out of ten chance that the Peng Demon Emperor had his subordinates pay attention to three extremely powerful males.

Should the three of them set off together, there was a danger of being discovered. However, if Qin Yu were to set off by himself, then he would be definitely safe. After all, with his current Soul Realm's level, even if the Peng Demon Emperor were to appear before him, he would be unable to discover his strength.

"Big brother, we know. Furthermore, this Mixed Hair Bird is eager to stay with Bai Ling." Said Hou Fei while laughing.

Hei Yu could only helplessly smile.

Soon after, Hou Fei and Hei Yu entered the Jiang Lan's Realm whereas Qin Yu started using Greater Teleportation, proceeding toward the Immortal Realm at a frightening speed.

The Immortal Realm was very wide. In the Demon Realm, all three territories, the Beast Clan's territory, Dragon Clan's territory and the Bird Clan's territory, all possessed regions bordering the Immortal Realm. Amongst them, the Beast Clan's territory bordered the most of the Immortal Realm and the Bird Clan's territory bordered the least.

There were two paths to reach the Immortal Realm from the Bird Clan's territory.

The first path was very close, crossing over the Dark Star Realm and entering the Immortal Realm.

The current Qin Yu was still not completely confident in entering the Dark Star Realm. Thus, he chose the second path... to proceed to the southeast end of the Bird Clan's territory and use the Interstellar Conveying Array on the bordering planet.

After spending ten days, Qin Yu casually arrived at the bordering planet.

"There are quite a lot of experts." Immediately after he arrived on the bordering planet, Qin Yu spread out his Immortal Awareness and discovered that there were actually ten Emperor level experts on this sole planet of the Bird Clan's territory that led to the Immortal Realm. The number was truly astonishing. These Emperor level experts appeared to be from the same group and were about to pass through the Interstellar Conveying Array together.

"I suspect they're also planning to watch the Cyan Emperor's Divine Tribulation." With a movement of his foot, Qin Yu arrived by the Interstellar Conveying Array.

The exact number of Demon Emperors... eight, eight Demon Emperors were chatting with each other and laughing.

"This Eagle Clan's strength is truly large." Qin Yu gasped with admiration in his heart. All these eight Demon Emperors in front of him were from the Eagle Clan. Who knows how many Demon Emperors there are in total in the Eagle Clan? As the second strongest power in the Bird Clan, their reputation was well deserved.

In reality, Qin Yu was not very knowledgeable about the Bird Clan.

Although the Peng Clan is the most powerful in the Bird Clan, their numbers are greatly inferior to the Eagle Clan. It's just that the Peng Clan possessed two types of Super Divine Beasts and also a lot of experts, that's why their power eclipses that of the Eagle Clan's. As for the Eagle Clan, their strongest is only a High Level Divine Beast. However, their numbers are great.

"Big brother, that man behind us seems to be very powerful. I am unable to see through him, can you?"

"Mn? Where did this expert come from? I can't see through him either."

"Then he's at the very least a level seven Demon Emperor! I reckon he's a certain hidden expert from our Bird Clan. Clan Chief has mentioned before, that once the information about the Cyan Emperor's Divine Tribulation spreads out, it will definitely attract a large number of hidden experts. Hidden experts... they are usually hidden from view but would show up when they have the opportunity to see others undergoing the Divine Tribulation."

"Stop looking at him, who knows how powerful he is. If you were to offend him, then we brothers might all lose our lives here."

The eight Demon Emperors were talking with each other through Demon Awareness. Finally, they came to a common understanding and decided to pretend to not notice Qin Yu. Following the rules, the eight of them entered the Interstellar Conveying Array and were then transported to the Immortal Realm.

Afterwards, Qin Yu paid the fees for the Interstellar Conveying Array and also stepped into one.

After a flash of light, Qin Yu was transported from the Bird Clan's territory to a bordering planet in the Immortal Realm.

Qin Yu, Hou Fei and Hei Yu were flying beside each other in the sky, watching the ground.

"Immortal Realm, this is Immortal Realm. I've never come to the Immortal Realm before." Gasped Hei Yu in admiration. Hou Fei also took a deep breath, he nodded and said. "I've never been here either."

Qin Yu recalled the past. "I still remember when I journeyed to the Devil Realm from the Immortal Realm. That time, I was being chased by Emperor Yu and ended up only being able to hide myself in the Jiang Lan's Realm. Finally, after bitterly training, I managed to open the third layer of the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas, and then defeated Emperor Yu and his men. If I were to fight Emperor Yu again now, then I wouldn't fear him in the slightest." Qin Yu was filled with confidence.

His 'Nine Steps Dark Gold Body' had reached the seventh stage.

Qin Yu was definitely able to match up against the level eight Immortal Emperor level Emperor Yu from back then. Adding on Qin Yu's astonishing recovery ability, even the current level nine Immortal Emperor level Emperor Yu, Qin Yu was also able to compete against him.

"Gaga, big brother, if we were to meet Emperor Yu and them again, then with us three brothers together, we would crush them to pieces." Hou Fei's words contained within it a tyrannical aura.

Qin Yu slightly smiled. If Qin Yu and his brothers were to join hands, then they certainly would not be afraid of Emperor Yu and his wife.

The Matchless Great Sword was still able cut into his body. However, unlike before, it was not going to be able to pierce through his body so easily.

"Furthermore, the current Black Hole has become even more stable. Collapsing it is now much harder." Qin Yu was very confident in his own cultivation technique.

The Nascent Souls that others had are very weak. However, his own Black Hole was able to easily swallow other people's sword energy. It was extremely stable.

"Let's go. We three brothers shall take a nice stroll across the Immortal Realm. Hopefully Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor won't not discover us. If they were to discover us... then we three brothers would give them a nice trampling." Laughed Qin Yu.

Hou Fei and Hei Yu's eyes also shined.

Soon after, the three brothers arrogantly traveled about in the Immortal Realm. They were not in a rush to get to the Angelica Dahurica Galaxy's Ridge Peak Star. Although the date of the Divine Tribulation was not precise, it would roughly be in about a year. It was definitely possible for Qin Yu and his brothers to play around for half a year before going over.

Hiding their strength, the three brothers proceeded to wander the Immortal Realm. They ran into quite a few people who overestimated their capabilities; easily, the three brothers defeated them. Against the people they met, they might either give them a small punishment or restrict their power. Against the few hateful scum they met, they killed them directly.

They lived their lives free and leisurely. There was even a sense of chivalry.

The three brothers willfully ate and drank around the different places of the Immortal Realm. They enjoyed the peculiar sceneries of the Immortal Realm. Although it was merely half a year, the days were a lot more enjoyable, compared to the thousand years that they had spent before.

Angelica Dahurica Galaxy. Jade Wave Star.

After a burst of light, Qin Yu and his two brothers arrived on the Jade Wave Star. Compared to before, the three brothers, who had enjoyed traveling around the Immortal Realm, were a lot more cheerful.

"Jade Wave Star." Qin Yu gazed his surroundings. He started to remember the time when he left the Jade Wave Star and immediately met with the unfortunate fate of being surrounded by Emperor Yu. "I suspect that the Cyan Emperor was related to me being surrounded by Emperor Yu's men last time around." Qin Yu understood it very well in his heart. Merely, he didn't want to have another enemy. Furthermore, after knowing the Cyan Emperor, he thought that the Cyan Emperor was still a pretty decent person.

"Three seniors, may I ask if you three came to watch His Majesty's Divine Tribulation?" A man wearing a standard battle armor walked over.

"Precisely." Qin Yu nodded. "May I ask where that Ridge Peak Star is at?"

That man wearing the standard battle armor smiled. "His Majesty has already set up his arrangements. Over there are three newly constructed Conveying Arrays. Those three Conveying Arrays lead to the Ride Peak Star. The three seniors could take those Conveying Arrays. As for the expense of using them, it is a single Low Quality Elemental Spirit Stone."

"A single?" Qin Yu was shocked.

No matter how close the place was, it would cost at the very least two Low Quality Elemental Spirit Stones. That was because one stone was the cost of using the Interstellar Conveying Array whereas the other one was the profit taken by the controller of the planet.

"That's correct. His Majesty has set the fee to be a single Low Quality Elemental Spirit Stone. It is merely a formality. His Majesty would not care about the mere cost of using the Conveying Arrays." The man wearing the battle armor had an expression of admiration in his eyes.

In the Immortal Realm, the Cyan Emperor's prestige was extremely high. After all, the best refining stone is time. After laughing proudly through the Immortal Realm for such a long time, the Cyan Emperor's status and strength was unquestionable. The number of people who worshipped him, was also enormous.

"This Cyan Emperor is certainly someone. Worthy of admiration, worthy of admiration." From merely the charge of one Low Quality Elemental Spirit Stone, Hou Fei grew to admire the Cyan Emperor that he had never seen before.

After handing over a single Low Quality Elemental Spirit Stone.

Qin Yu and his two brothers stepped into one of the Interstellar Conveying Arrays. After the flash of light, the three brothers departed from the Jade Wave Star and arrived on the Ridge Peak Star.

Ridge Peak Star.

This planet was originally an uninhabited and nameless planet. The name 'Ridge Peak Star', was something that the Cyan Emperor had given it recently. However, ever since the Cyan Emperor decided that he would be undergoing the Divine Tribulation here, the Ridge Peak Star was determined to be a place that would no longer be obscure and unknown.

Ridge Peak Star, the reason why it's named 'Ridge Peak' was because there were a lot of high mountains on this planet. The majority of the high mountains were scarlet red, white and gray.

"Three seniors." Immediately after Qin Yu and his brothers stepped out from the Interstellar Conveying Array, a woman greeted them respectfully. "As the three seniors are Emperor level experts, you could follow this humble self to the First District to watch his Majesty undergo the Divine Tribulation."

Qin Yu, Hou Fei and Hei Yu took a glance at each other and started to smile.

This Cyan Emperor's arrangements were truly good.

"You can lead us then." Said Qin Yu with a smile. Soon after, the three brothers followed behind the woman and rapidly flew toward the north.

There were a lot of people on the Ridge Peak Star. In the air, Qin Yu merely used his Immortal Awareness to cover a section of the planet and immediately discovered millions of cultivators. Almost all of these cultivators were Immortals. The number of Devils and Demons amongst them were very few.

"To rush to the Ridge Peak Star in a year's time from the Devil or Demon Realm, how could ordinary people be able to do that?" Qin Yu understood that the reason why there were so many Immortals here, was because of the favorable location of the Ridge Peak Star.

Qin Yu was able to clearly sense that the Ridge Peak Star was set up like an extremely vast barrier. The outermost layer was where the Heavenly Immortal level experts stayed. The middle layer was where the Golden Immortal level experts stayed. The innermost layer, the so called 'First District,' was where the Emperor level experts stayed.

In the outermost and middle layers, the Cyan Emperor did not have his men establish any dwellings. All those dwellings were constructed by the Immortals themselves. As for the First District, there were numerous courtyard mansions. They were specially established by the Cyan Emperor's men.

Following the woman, Qin Yu and his brothers descended by the entrance of the First District. "Seniors can enter. There will be people inside who will arrange where seniors will live."

Qin Yu and his brothers nodded and then walked past the entrance of the First District.

By the entrance were four Immortal Emperors. The leader amongst them was an old acquaintance of Qin Yu... the fourth disciple of the Cyan Emperor, Immortal Emperor Song Shi. It was the youth that Qin Yu had came to know on the Crescent Moon Bay.

"Cultivation brother Song Shi." Shouted Qin Yu with a smile.

Immortal Emperor Song Shi who was currently talking with someone turned his head around. Qin Yu had already resumed his true appearance. Surprised, Song Shi said. "Qin Yu, you've come? I suspect these two are the two brothers that you've been trying to find?"

"That's right, this is my second brother Hou Fei and this is my third brother Hei Yu." Said Qin Yu magnanimously.

"Oh... Hou Fei, Hei Yu. I've already heard about the strength of you three brothers. The future Great Ape Emperor and a man whom the Peng Demon Emperor wanted to kill. You brothers are truly amazing. Even Demon Emperor Bai Feng was killed by you all." Said Immortal Emperor Song Shi with a smile.

Hou Fei spoke out and said. "Hey, did that Emperor Yu and Mystic Emperor come yet?"

"No, they're still not here. Even the Peng Demon Emperor isn't here. I reckon they'll be here in a couple more days. However, there are already several hundreds of Emperor level experts inside the First District now. There are even some extremely powerful hidden experts." Gasped Immortal Emperor Song Shi.

Qin Yu and his brothers were shocked.

Several hundreds of Emperor level experts, it was truly astonishing. In the past, the most they had seen at the same time, were only several tens of Emperor level experts.

"Qin Yu, come, I've already prepared your residence. It's next to Granny Yin Hua and them." Said Immortal Emperor Song Shi with a smile.

"Granny Yin Hua also came?" Qin Yu started to chat with Immortal Emperor Song Shi.

"That's right, Emperor Ni has also arrived. Qin Yu, I recently discovered something... it actually turns out that the strongest people in the Devil Realm weren't the Blood Devil Emperor, Black Devil Emperor and the Asura Devil Emperor. There were actually even more powerful experts. I've already came across two of them." Said the Immortal Emperor Song Shi mysteriously.

"Oh?" Qin Yu was prepared to meet a lot of hidden experts this time around.

"The Hidden Emperor as well as the Black and White Dual Emperors have also arrived. There's also the Hidden Emperor's granddaughter." Said the Immortal Emperor Song Shi with a smile. "Senior Hidden Emperor was actually very interested in my master's Divine Tribulation."

Qin Yu also smiled.

How could he not be interested? The Hidden Emperor was also someone who was about to undergo the Divine Tribulation.

"Unfortunately, that boy Emperor Yu still hasn't shown up." Muttered Hou Fei resentfully. Hearing that, Qin Yu was unable to refrain from smiling. Before they arrived, Hou Fei had already said that he was going to teach that Emperor Yu a lesson.

"Ahead is the residence of Granny Yin Hua..." Right when Immortal Emperor Song Shi had finished only half of his sentence, he frowned and took out a Transmission Spiritual Pearl. Soon after, he smiled to Qin Yu and said. "You all have arrived at the right timing. Just a moment ago, the guards on the Jade Wave Star had sent a transmission over saying that Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor have arrived. I will have to go and personally greet them."

"Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor have arrived?"

A sharp ray of light flashed through Qin Yu, Hou Fei and Hei Yu's eyes simultaneously.

Chapter 40 – Fighting Head On

Ridge Peak Star, the uninhabited and nameless planet, has now risen to fame. At the same time, a large number of experts have gathered here. There was also a frightening amount of Demon Emperors, Immortal Emperors and Devil Emperors gathered here. The level two or three Immortal Emperors that used to proclaim themselves hegemons in galaxies have all grown very well behaved here. None of them dared to act slightly arrogant.

The First District, it was the district of Emperor level experts.

At this moment, Qin Yu and his two brothers were with Immortal Emperor Song Shi. Upon seeing the expression on Qin Yu and his brothers, Immortal Emperor Song Shi felt a bit of helplessness in his heart. Immediately, he advised. "Brother Qin Yu, could you all please help me? This time around, my master is undergoing the Divine Tribulation; he too would not want people to cause trouble here. I know that you have desire for vengeance against that Emperor Yu and Mystic Emperor, but is it possible for you to settle those matters after my master finishes his Divine Tribulation?"

Qin Yu, Hou Fei and Hei Yu took a glance at each other. The three brothers have already come to a decision.

"It'll be too much of a disturbance to do it here, let's do it later." Qin Yu made his decision.

Qin Yu also knew about when to advance and when to retreat. Amongst the several hundreds of Emperor level experts here, there were certainly over ten level nine Immortal Emperor level experts. If they were to attack Emperor Yu and Mystic Emperor here, it would become very problematic.

"Brother Qin Yu, thank you very much. Granny Yin Hua has already come out. She's with Emperor Ni. Brother Qin Yu could go ahead and meet Granny Yin Hua and them first. Your residence is that courtyard mansion to the right of Granny Yin Hua's. I have already prepared it for you all. Well then... I'll be leaving first to receive Emperor Yu and Mystic Emperor now." Immortal Emperor Song Shi cupped his hands in appreciation before immediately leaving.

Usually, big shots such as Emperor Yu, Flame Emperor, Blood Devil Emperor and so on, were all people that Immortal Emperor Song Shi would personally receive.

Song Shi, a personal disciple of the Cyan Emperor, was a level seven Immortal Emperor. For him to personally receive them meant that the Cyan Emperor were giving them enough face.

"Sigh." Hou Fei curled his lips and scolded. "And here I was planning to use this opportunity to teach Emperor Yu and that Mystic Emperor a lesson. It'll be hard for such an opportunity to come by again after they assemble together with the Peng Demon Emperor."

Hei Yu nodded in agreement.

Qin Yu lightly smiled. "Who cares if they are working together. The experts here are from all over the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm. Even Great Ape Emperor and them have shown up. Even if the Peng Demon Emperor wanted to attack us, he would still not dare to do it here."

"When we wait till they separate... the Peng Demon Emperor's speed is too fast, he'll be very hard to handle. Thus, if we were to encounter him then we'll just escape from him directly. As for Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor, we could fight against them instead." Qin Yu was currently very confident.

With the increase in strength that Qin Yu and his brothers have attained, even if they weren't a match for the Peng Demon Emperor, they still have the means to escape with their lives. Qin Yu did not believe that running away was a sign of incompetence. On the contrary... he loved to watch the scene of others being unable to catch him and growing irritable and angry.

"Granny Yin Hua is looking over, let's go greet her." Said Qin Yu via voice transmission.

Afterwards, Qin Yu and his brothers followed the bluestone path and walked toward Granny Yin Hua and Emperor Ni. With Qin Yu's current strength, he was capable of seeing through even a level nine Immortal Emperor.

However, no matter what, he was unable to see through Granny Yin Hua.

Granny Yin Hua's appearance was very amiable. She was giving off a sense of closeness. As for the level nine Demon Emperor, Emperor Ni, her appearance was very seductive. At the same time, she was radiating a grandeur that come from the bones.

"Granny Yin Hua, this Qin Yu's cultivation speed is truly fast. Currently, even I am only able to sense his strength through some difficulty." Praised Emperor Ni.

Granny Yin Hua smiled so hard that her eyes turned into a line. She nodded and said. "He's pretty good. However, this kid still has to strive harder."

"Granny, Senior Emperor Ni." Qin Yu finally arrived in front of Granny Yin Hua. Immediately, he greeted them respectfully.

While smiling, Granny Yin Hua's gaze swept past Hou Fei and Hei Yu. She kindly said. "Oh Qin Yu, those two young men beside you ought to be the two brothers that you've been seeking right?"

"That's right. Granny, this is my second brother Hou Fei and this is my third brother Hei Yu." Qin Yu turned around to look toward Hou Fei and Hei Yu. "Fei Fei, Xiao Hei, greet Granny."

Hou Fei laughed and casually cupped his hand and said. "Junior Hou Fei greets Granny Yin Hua and Senior Emperor Ni."

"Junior Hei Yu greets the two seniors." Hei Yu did not smile at all,. instead he had an icy-cold appearance.

Emperor Ni was dressed in a long gown. From afar, she appeared like a blazing flame. As Emperor Ni looked at Hou Fei and Hei Yu, her eyes started to shine. "Qin Yu, these two brothers of yours are pretty strong too. Fiery Eyed Water Ape and a level seven Demon Emperor. On top of that, possessing the Stick Techniques of the Monkey and Ape Clan, I reckon that his strength is comparable to that of a level nine Immortal Emperor. This Hei Yu, he was chased by the Peng Demon Emperor to the utter extreme, I suspect he's also not someone ordinary."

"He's ordinary, ordinary. Merely the third amongst the three brothers." Hou Fei laughed with a gaga sound.

"Truly a crafty monkey." Granny Yin Hua smiled and said.

At this moment Qin Yu suddenly sensed something and turned around...

Emperor Yu and his wife the Mystic Emperor were walking over side by side. At the same time, the Mystic Emperor Xuan Xi was even chatting and laughing with Immortal Emperor Song Shi. And at this moment, Emperor Yu and his wife also noticed Qin Yu and his brothers. A sharp cold gaze burst forth from Emperor Yu's eyes.

Qin Yu's mind moved. "Seemed like this Emperor Yu still bears grudges toward me. Furthermore, his hatred is deep to the bone."

"Fei Fei, Xiao Hei, let's go greet our good friend." Said Qin Yu with a smile. Upon hearing such, Hou Fei and Hei Yu also displayed an evil smile on their face.

Qin Yu and his brothers walked side by side to Emperor Yu.

The bluestone road was not wide. It was merely three meters wide. With the three brothers walking next to each other, they completely occupied the road.

Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor had stopped.

Qin Yu and his two brothers as a group and Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor as a group, these two groups stood approximately ten meters from each other. To them, a distance of ten meters were completely negligible. The people of the two groups were radiating an extremely sharp aura toward each other.

"Qin Yu, you've become a level nine Immortal Emperor?" Emperor Yu's expression suddenly changed slightly. He discovered that he was only able to faintly sense Qin Yu's strength. It was as if Qin Yu's soul realm's level was about the same as his own.

"Level nine Immortal Emperor? I guess so." Said Qin Yu as he looked at Emperor Yu.

If Emperor Yu believed it to be such, Qin Yu would also not deny it.

"How is that possible? Back then, on the Reef Yellow Star, you were only a level one Immortal Emperor and had only just opened the Ten Thousand Beast Atlas's third layer. From then till now... it's been only several hundreds of years. You..." Emperor Yu's complexion grew a bit pale.

Reaching level nine Immortal Emperor level in less than a thousand years, it was truly a frightening matter.

Qin Yu merely smiled.

Qin Yu did not say anything. He decided to let Emperor Yu's imagination run wild. As Emperor Yu's soul realm's level was about the same as Qin Yu's, he was unable to clearly see through Qin Yu's strength. That was the reason why he made such a speculation.

"Hey, you're Emperor Yu?" Hou Fei stared at Emperor Yu fiercely.

"Fiery Eyed Water Ape, you're that Qin Yu's second brother 'Hou Fei?' That Hou Fei that ascended less than a thousand years ago? How could this be?!" Emperor Yu's pupils shrunk. The current Emperor Yu's mind had been thrown in chaos. "What exactly is happening? This Hou Fei only ascended less than a thousand years ago, how did he already reach level seven Demon Emperor? A level seven Demon Emperor Super Divine Beast and also possessing the Battle Comprehension of the Monkey and Ape Clan, I suspect that when compared with me, he'll not be much inferior!"

Emperor Yu looked to Hei Yu. "You are Qin Yu's third brother Hei Yu?"

"That's right, my strength is a bit weaker compared to my big brother and Monkey." Said Hei Yu coldly.

Weaker, although a level six Demon Emperor Variation Super Divine Beast appeared not to be extremely powerful, Hei Yu have ascended to the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm about a thousand years ago. How could Emperor Yu possibly suspect that there was such an abnormal Divine Artifact like the Jiang Lan's Realm?

Emperor Yu came to realize completely.

At this moment, Emperor Yu understood one thing... against him and his wife, Qin Yu and his brothers would not fear them in the slightest. Instead, they would rush forth and fight against them.

"That time, because of the protection from the Dragon Emperor, we did not manage to kill this Qin Yu. Who would've expected that he would actually have reached such a level. If we want to kill him in the future... it'll be extremely hard." Emperor Yu's brows were so creased that they connected into a unibrow.

"Brother Feng Yu, although it's hard for us to kill them, isn't it also hard for them to handle us?" Xuan Xi comforted Emperor Yu.

"Mystic Emperor, unexpectedly, you've reached level nine Immortal Emperor level now. Your speed is truly fast." Said Qin Yu with an appearance as if he was in awe.

Xuan Xi had indeed reached level nine Immortal Emperor. She had been cultivating and training along with Emperor Yu. In the special state of cultivating together, she was able to clearly sense the comprehension Emperor Yu had toward the cosmic space. Thus, she was able to break through level eight Immortal Emperor level and reach level nine Immortal Emperor level at a very fast pace.

So what if there are two level nine Immortal Emperors?

If Qin Yu and Hou Fei each took care of one, and then with Hei Yu mounting sneak attacks? It'll still be very easy for them to handle Emperor Yu and Mystic Emperor.

"My speed in reaching level nine Immortal Emperor is fast? No matter how fast that is, it's still inferior to yours." Said Xuan Xi with a smile. Her smile contained within it no killing intent at all.

Immortal Emperor Song Shi who stood beside Emperor Yu and Xuan Xi had a bitter expression on his face. He didn't want Qin Yu and his brothers to meet Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor at all. Once these two groups were to meet, it was very possible for them to start fighting.

"Brother Qin Yu." Immortal Emperor Song Shi spoke.

Qin Yu slightly smiled. "Emperor Yu, I wonder if you still remember... that time, when you and your wife mounted a sneak attack against me, what did I say?"

Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor's expression slightly changed.

"I, Qin Yu, hereby swear to the heavens; I will certainly kill you one day! I, Qin Yu, and you, Emperor Yu, shall not cease unless either one of us dies!" The oath that Qin Yu shouted then seemed to still ring inside their ears. And the Qin Yu who stood in front of them, his smile had turned somewhat cold.

Qin Yu coldly smiled and said. "What you two have done to me in the past, I would definitely return with double! Do not bother speaking rubbish to me; Emperor Yu, Mystic Emperor, if you two have the ability, then go and undergo the Divine Tribulation right away. If you were to ascend to the Divine Realm sooner, then you two might be able to live for a bit longer in the Divine Realm. Otherwise... with my cultivation speed, I would definitely easily surpass you two. At that time, humph..."

Qin Yu did not give Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor any face at all.

He was disinclined to give them face. Now that they've reached this point, is there any room left to save the situation? If Qin Yu were to be able to tolerate it still, then he would not have any self-respect at all.

"Worthy nephew Song Shi, did you hear that? It's not that I am not giving you face." Emperor Yu turned around and said to Immortal Emperor Song Shi.

Immortal Emperor Song Shi merely felt a headache.

"Chi~~" Sparks flashed in the space. At the same time, the space had been completely distorted. An extremely sharp aura ripped apart the space. Immediately, it arrived in front of Qin Yu. Qin Yu merely saw a pair of eyes that was filled with killing intent!

As if he was already prepared, Qin Yu extended his right index finger forward.

"Bang!"

The space returned to its previous tranquility. Emperor Yu's figure that was talking with Immortal Emperor Song Shi gradually disappeared. Another Emperor Yu appeared in front of Qin Yu.

Emperor Yu's index finger collided with Qin Yu's index finger. At the same time...

The sword in Emperor Yu's hand, the Great Emperor's Sword, was obstructed by Qin Yu's Divine Sword Sky Piercer. The two of them were not moving. Their eyes were fixed upon each other. Merely, the ground that they stood on have already turned into pieces.

"Never had I expected that Emperor Yu's finger technique is this outstanding. The electric energy contained within it is the strongest amongst all that I have seen." Said Qin yu with a smile.

In the blink of a moment earlier.

Emperor Yu's figure had turned fast like a lightning. He had condensed his Immortal Elemental Energy into his Divine Sword and was planning to pierce through Qin Yu's dantian with it. As for his finger, he had executed another one of his finishing technique and was trying to crush Qin Yu's head to pieces.

"What solid fingers." Emperor Yu merely said those words before disappearing and returning back to where the Mystic Emperor stood.

And just at this moment, a boundless voice sounded in the air.

"Feng Yu, Qin Yu, this time around, it is I who is about to undergo the Divine Tribulation. I wish for the two of you to not battle here. I shall let this time pass. If anyone were to attack the other again. then... I, Chi Qing, would personally discipline that person."

Cyan Emperor's overbearing voice transmission was not heard by only Qin Yu and them, it was also clearly heard by all of the Emperor level experts on the Ridge Peak Star.

"Discipline, humph." Emperor Yu humphed coldly. The Mystic Emperor's expression have also turned slightly ugly.

Nominally, the Cyan Emperor's status was the same as Emperor Yu and them. However, based on what the Cyan Emperor had just said, it was very clear... that he did not see Emperor Yu and them as equal. It was as if, that if he wanted to discipline them, then he would be able to do so easily.

"Did this Cyan Emperor finally stop hiding his strength?" Qin Yu was instead not angry.

Back then, on the Crescent Moon Bay, Qin Yu was able to tell, based on what Granny Yin Hua and the rest said, that the Cyan Emperor's strength was no weaker than the Dragon Emperor. The mysterious Cyan Emperor... for him to undergo his Divine Tribulation publicly like so and then sending a voice transmission so tyrannically, to threaten Emperor Yu and Qin Yu; It would appear that he no longer wanted to hide his strength.

"Little friend Qin Yu." A familiar voice sounded from behind.

Qin Yu turned around to look and saw the Hidden Emperor, the Black and White Dual Emeprors and the Hidden Emperor's granddaughter, Lin Lin. They were all walking over toward him. As for Granny Yin Hua and Emperor Ni, they had already returned to their own residence.

"Lin Lin is also here?" Qin Yu was slightly shocked as this was the First District. Actually, the Cyan Emperor was merely giving the Hidden Emperor face.

Upon seeing Lin Lin, Qin Yu was unable to refrain himself from thinking about his disciple Liu Hanshu, that simple and honest youth that was striving his hardest to improve himself. Unfortunately... his sole disciple had already died.

[TL: Quite certain that Qin Yu has another disciple called Niu Wa. Then again, he didn't teach either of them...] (Robin:— Wasn't really a disciple, more like a guy he saved, and then helped grow) [TN: Isn't that true for both except Liu Hanshu was given guidence by him directly a few times...) "Senior Hidden Emperor." With a smile, Qin Yu greeted the Hidden Emperor. "Let's go to my place and chat. There's quite a lot of people here." "That's true." Hidden Emperor Lin Yin nodded. That Lin Lin also looked to Qin Yu and Qin Yu also smiled to her. Hou Fei and Hei Yu were muttering in their hearts. They thought that their big brother knew a bit too many people. It was if Qin Yu knew all of the experts. As the date of the Divine Tribulation grew closer, more and more experts arrived. Blood Devil Emperor, Black Devil Emperor, Asura Devil Emperor, even that newly established Flame Emperor and some hidden experts had arrived. On this date. Qin Yu and his brothers were quietly staying in their own residence. They did not go out and chat with the other experts. Qin Yu flipped his hand around and took out a Transmission Spiritual Pearl. "Brother Qin Yu, my Imperial Father and I have arrived on the Jade Wave Star. Soon, we'll be at the Ridge Peak Star. Even Senior Great Ape Emperor came with us. Oh, that's right... that Peng Demon Emperor has also joined us and came with us." It was Ao Wuming's transmission.

Chapter 41 – Undergoing the Divine Tribulation

"The Peng Demon Emperor has arrived?" Qin Yu's relaxed mood immediately tensed up. Soon after, he said to Hou Fei and Hei Yu beside him. "Fei Fei, Xiao Hei, come, let's go out. The Dragon Emperor, Ao Wuming and the Great Ape Emperor have all arrived."

"The Great Ape Emperor also came?" Hou Fei immediately stood up.

Hei Yu was instead not particularly concerned.

"Not only them, there's another person... the Peng Demon Emperor. The Peng Demon Emperor has joined the Dragon Emperor and them, and arrived together with them." Qin Yu muttered. "This matter is a bit troublesome. This Peng Demon Emperor is extremely eccentric, he might even not give the Dragon Emperor and them face and directly attack us. With the Peng Demon Emperor's speed, it was impossible for others to prevent him in time."

"What big brother said is correct. With that Peng Demon Emperor's temperament, he might just directly attack us. Mixed Hair Bird, it's best for you to temporary not meet that Peng Demon Emperor. The person that Peng Demon Emperor wants to kill the most is you." Warned Hou Fei.

Hou Fei had a cold expression. "I'm going out with you two."

Qin Yu looked at Xiao Hei.

He understood Xiao Hei's temperament very well. It was very hard to persuade him. However, the situation that they had guessed earlier was not necessarily going to happen... furthermore, with his own speed, he should be fast enough to send Xiao Hei into the Jiang Lan's Realm in time.

Furthermore... in this First District was Granny Yin Hua, who Qin Yu was still unable to see through, even now.

"Let's go, we'll go out and greet the Dragon Emperor and them together." Qin Yu have made his decision.

The Great Ape Emperor, the Dragon Emperor and them, were people that Qin Yu and his brothers must definitely greet. The three brothers exited their courtyard mansion and followed the bluestone path toward the entrance area of the First District.

In merely a short period of time.

Qin Yu saw a couple familiar figures... covered in gold from head to toe, the Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan, level eight Demon Emperor Ao Ku and level eight Demon Emperor Liu Tu. These three men were leading a bunch of Demon Emperors as they walked over. These people were clearly from the Bird Clan.

Qin Yu's Immortal Awareness immediately discovered that there were three groups of people entering into the First District. The first group of people were the people from the Bird Clan. The second group of people were from the Dragon Clan and were led by the Dragon Emperor. As for the third group of people, they were from the Beast Clan, lead by the Ox Demon Emperor and Great Ape Emperor.

"Hei Yu." Upon seeing Hei Yu, the Peng Demon Emperor immediately started to emit killing intent from his eyes. He was planning to attack Hei Yu right away.

Upon seeing Hei Yu, Immortal Emperor Song Shi who was leading everyone from the front, knew that the situation had grown bad. Immediately, he spoke. "Senior Peng Demon Emperor, my master has said that this time around, it is he who is undergoing the Divine Tribulation. None of the people who have came to this place to attend his Divine Tribulation are allowed to attack each other here. Whoever it is that violates his will, my master would personally set out to dispose of them."

"Chi Qing really said such a thing?" The Peng Demon Emperor looked to Immortal Emperor Song Shi with an ice-cold gaze.

"Yes, that's right." Immortal Emperor Song Shi raised his head up and looked the Peng Demon Emperor in the face. He did not retreat in the slightest.

And at this moment, Qin Yu was paying close attention with his Immortal Awareness. His eyes were also fixed on the Peng Demon Emperor. "Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan has never cared about anyone, maybe he would really attack here?" Qin Yu was very cautious.

"Not good!" Qin Yu who was prepared the entire time and had power stored up in his body, suddenly moved like a spring. He immediately reached beside Hei Yu.

However, with merely moving this short distance, the golden ray of light that the Peng Demon Emperor had turned into had already arrived in front of Qin Yu. His speed was fast to a frightening level.

"Bang."

A walking stick collided with the Peng Demon Emperor's golden claw.

The golden ray of light flew back, the Peng Demon Emperor returned to his original place. The Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan shrunk his eyes back and firmly stared at the old granny in front of Qin Yu... Granny Yin Hua.

"You are that Granny Yin Hua?" The Peng Demon Emperor had long since heard about Granny Yin Hua's distinguished name. Merely, that time around, Granny Yin Hua had only used her mysterious technique to transmit her image. And now, it was also the first time for the Peng Demon Emperor to meet Granny Yin Hua.

With a kind appearance, Granny Yin Hua coughed a couple times. "Sigh, I've grown old and weak now."

Qin Yu almost laughed out loud.

Granny Yin Hua was indeed as frightening as he had thought. When the Peng Demon Emperor attacked, Granny Yin Hua was still a long distance away from Qin Yu. The Peng Demon Emperor attacked first, whereas Granny Yin Hua moved out afterward. However, Granny Yin Hua instead managed to block the Peng Demon Emperor. With just her speed... Granny Yin Hua was already even faster than the Peng Demon Emperor!

The Peng Demon Emperor who possessed an Inherited Treasure, his strongest strength was his speed. However, Granny Yin Hua was even faster. With merely this, the Peng Demon Emperor had grown terrified.

"That Chi Qing even considers me to be his Big Sister; thus, I cannot not give him face. Since he said he won't allow people to fight here, I must also help him prevent fighting from occurring. Say, Zong Yan, isn't that right?" Said Granny Yin Hua with a face filled with smiles.

At this moment, no one dared to look down upon this old granny.

The Peng Demon Emperor merely kept staring at Granny Yin Hua. No one knew what he was thinking.

A couple sounds of airspace vibration was heard and the Dragon Emperor, Ao Wuming, Ox Demon Emperor and the Great Ape Emperor flew past the group of Demon Emperors and landed beside the Peng Demon Emperor.

"Zong Yan, what are you doing?" Said the Great Ape Emperor Sun Yuan while smiling. "Could it be that you're planning to attack the next clan chief of my Monkey and Ape Clan?"

"Most certainly not." Said the Peng Demon Emperor directly. "Earlier, I merely tried to catch someone."

That's right, catch someone.

What the Peng Demon Emperor tried to do earlier, was to momentarily confine Hei Yu's strength and arrest him. He didn't dare to kill Hei Yu at all... that was because he had vowed in front of Bai Xin that he would not kill Hei Yu.

"Catching someone? Say, Zong Yan, are you not giving Chi Qing face? This time around, it's Chi Qing who's undergoing his Divine Tribulation." Ridiculed the Dragon Emperor.

The Peng Demon Emperor took a glance at the Great Ape Emperor and the Dragon Emperor and then humphed. He knew that with the Great Ape Emperor and the Dragon Emperor present, even if he wanted to capture Hei Yu, it would be very troublesome.

Qin Yu and his two brothers, the Peng Demon Emperor, the Dragon Emperor and the rest of the people being gathered here immediately managed to attract the attention of a great number of experts. However, those groups of experts also didn't dare to come closer.

"Huff!"

A cyan clothed figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the air. He soon landed on the ground in between Qin Yu, his two brothers and the Peng Demon Emperor's group. It was precisely the Cyan Emperor who was about to undergo his Divine Tribulation!

The Cyan Emperor was radiating an aura that caused one to be comfortable from his entire body. Chi Qing merely looked at the two sides before immediately smiling lightly to the Peng Demon Emperor and said. "Brother Zong Yan, as I invited you to come watch my Divine Tribulation, I hope that you will give me face. I do not wish for anyone to attack anyone here."

"Fine, I will give you face. Let's go!"

Said the Peng Demon Emperor ice-coldly. Immediately after, he took to the air. Ao Ku, Liu Tu and the rest of the Demon Emperors of the Bird Clan, all immediately followed him to the sky. Immediately after, this group of Demon Emperor's started flying toward their own courtyard mansion.

The Cyan Emperor merely took a glance at the Peng Demon Emperor who flew past him. He lightly smiled and then looked to Qin Yu. He laughed and said. "Little brother Qin Yu, you have brought me quite many troubles."

Qin Yu could only smile.

And at this moment, Qin Yu suddenly turned around to look in the distance. What he saw was Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor leading a large group of Immortal Emperors, greeting the Peng Demon Emperor and his men. They were even chatting and laughing.

"These two groups, they have indeed joined hands." Not only Qin Yu, Hou Fei, Hei Yu, the Dragon Emperor and the rest also took notice of it.

"Everyone, please rest yourselves. I estimate that the date of my Divine Tribulation should be about in a month's time. In this month's time, I would have to carefully prepare and would be unable to take care of everyone. Please forgive me." Said the Cyan Emperor to everyone around.

"You still have to prepare?" Ridiculed the Dragon Emperor.

The Cyan Emperor couldn't help but laugh. "Haha..."

"Haha..." The Dragon Emperor also laughed out loud. The Dragon Emperor, Emperor Ni, the Cyan Emperor as well as the previous Gold Punishment Lord, all had an extremely good relationship and understood each other very well.

Upon seeing the scene, Qin Yu was unable to refrain himself from gasping in his heart. "This Cyan Emperor is truly completely confident in passing the Divine Tribulation. No wonder he dared to invite so many people to come watch his Divine Tribulation without caring for others causing troubles for him."

The following days waiting for the Cyan Emperor's Divine Tribulation were not boring at all. That was because there were many friends here. At the same time, many Immortal Emperors, Demon Emperors and even Devil Emperors came to Qin Yu to pay him a visit.

Qin Yu and his two brothers, their reputations were widespread.

Furthermore, not long ago, Emperor Yu had mounted a sneak attack against Qin Yu, yet instead fought him to a draw. Thus, Qin Yu's prowess was as clear as day. The information regarding their simple exchange of attacks was also widely known... Qin Yu and his two brothers combined possessed a martial prowess that was comparable to that of the Hidden Emperor and the Black and White Dual Emperors. Thus, it was natural that there were many people who wanted to befriend them.

Inside Qin Yu's courtyard mansion.

"Brother Qin Yu need not see me off, I'll take my leave." A handsome golden clothed youth bid his farewell to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu and his brothers saw this golden clothed youth leave with their eyes. Immediately after, then closed the door.

"Hey, Big Brother, from the way I see it, this Flame Emperor's strength is merely so-so. Isn't he just a level eight Immortal Emperor? How did he manage to suddenly rise to power and obtain a position that's close to that of Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor?" Said Hou Fei.

That golden clothed youth from earlier was precisely the newly risen power in the Immortal Realm, the Flame Emperor.

"You'd best not underestimate that Flame Emperor." Said Qin Yu solemnly. "I feel that this Flame Emperor is not as simple as he seems to be... moreover, I think that he's even more powerful than Emperor Yu. Of course, it is merely a feeling that I have."

"He's that strong?" Hou Fei was shocked.

Hei Yu also looked at Qin Yu with a doubtful expression. As a level eight Immortal Emperor, he ought to not be that powerful.

Currently, Qin Yu and his brothers were not certain about it. However, in the future, when Qin Yu's status grew higher, when he would gathered with the big shots from everywhere, at that time he would know about the reason why this Flame Emperor was so threatening. Of course, that is something in the future.

A month has passed since the time when Peng Demon Emperor tried to attack Hei Yu. Logically, the Cyan Emperor's Divine Tribulation should have arrived. However... there was no news of the date for his Divine Tribulation yet.

Qin Yu, Hou Fei, Hei Yu, Bai Ling, Ye Qu and Ao Wuxu were all in the courtyard mansion. Bai Ling, Ye Qu and Ao Wuxu have never seen a Divine Tribulation before and thus wanted to watch. However, Wu Lan did not come out from the Jiang Lan's Realm. According to Wu Lan, he said. "Don't feel like watching."

As they were chatting, a voice suddenly sounded from the sky.

"Everyone, tomorrow is the date that I, Chi Qing, will be undergoing my Divine Tribulation. At that time, I hope that everyone would stay in their respective districts and watch my Divine Tribulation. Please do not enter the Center District where I will be undergoing my Divine Tribulation." This was the Cyan Emperor's voice.

Immediately after, the voice dissipated.

Following the speech, the entire Ridge Peak Star started to shudder with noise and excitement. Countless people started to discuss the new information they had just received. As for Qin Yu and them, they also grew happy. Finally, the wait was over.

On the day leading to the Divine Tribulation, there were already over a thousand Emperor level experts in the First District!

In the entire Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm, about eighty percent of the Emperor level experts had come to the Ridge Peak Star. After all, watching a Divine Tribulation was something of great appeal to almost all Emperor level experts. For the majority of the people, they do not even know what kind of situation would occur in the Divine Tribulation.

Qin Yu, Hou Fei and them were likewise unclear about the Divine Tribulation.

On the day of the Divine Tribulation.

Over a hundred million cultivators were gathered on the Ridge Peak Star. Over a thousand Emperor level experts were gathered in the First District. Over a hundred million Golden Immortal level experts were gathered in the Second District. As for the Third District, majority of the people gathered there are Heavenly Immortals; there are very few Heavenly Devils and Heavenly Demons.

Densely packed, countless silhouettes flew to the sky. Each and every one of them stood in the sky. They were looking at the faraway Center District.

Inside the First District.

Almost everyone was hovering in the sky watching the Center District. Qin Yu and his group of people were likewise also in the sky. Qin Yu gazed at his surroundings and saw that the Dragon Emperor, Ao Wuming, Great Ape Emperor, Ox Demon Emperor, Peng Demon Emperor, Emperor Yu, Mystic Emperor, Flame Emperor, Blood Devil Emperor... and numerous groups of other experts were all standing in the sky.

The most center region, the Center District, had a circumference of around ten miles. This was the location where the Cyan Emperor has prepared to undergo his Divine Tribulation.

"Brother Qin Yu." Immortal Emperor Song Shi flew over to Qin Yu. "I'll stay here and watch my master's Divine Tribulation with you guys."

"Sure. Song Shi, but why didn't you stay with your senior martial brothers and them?" Qin Yu asked. Immortal Emperor Song Shi was the fourth disciple of the Cyan Emperor. The Cyan Emperor had a total of five disciples. Each and every one of them was an Emperor level expert. The strongest among them, the fifth disciple, was even a level eight Immortal Emperor.

"My eldest martial brother and my fifth martial brother don't really get along. It's very tiring for me to be there!" Song Shi shook his head grudgingly.

Qin Yu smiled.

"Oh, that's right. Where is Granny Yin Hua?" Asked Qin Yu. Granny Yin Hua's residence was right next to Qin Yu's. If Granny Yin Hua was present, Qin Yu would easily have noticed her already.

"Oh, regarding Granny Yin Hua, it seemed like she had some sort of important matter and left ahead of time." Explained Song Shi.

Qin Yu nodded. He reckoned that Granny Yin Hua doesn't care much about Divine Tribulation either. After all, her prowess was already displayed.

"Big brother, the Divine Tribulation has started." Hou Fei called to Qin Yu's attention.

Qin Yu immediately looked to the Center District.

Only the Cyan Emperor was in that Center District of ten miles circumference. The Cyan Emperor was standing on the ground with his hands behind his back. He did not use any barrier technique nor was there any preparation. He was merely standing on the ground.

The bright and clear sky suddenly turned dark!

The entire Ridge Peak Star had suddenly turned dark and silent. It was a frightening silence. Everyone who was watching the Divine Tribulation, was paying close attention to it, none of them dared to speak a word.

An enormous dark red colored vortex suddenly appeared in the dark sky. That vortex was several thousands of miles wide. It was spinning unceasingly. The frightening energy caused the entire space to begin to fluctuate.

"Chi chi~~~~"

Electric currents were running through the entire Ridge Peak Star. The space was shocked by the lightning. Fortunately, the vaporized electric currents did not affect the experts.

Qin Yu, Hou Fei, Hei Yu, Ye Qu, Peng Demon Emperor, Emperor Yu, Hidden Emperor... and countless other experts, all looked toward the sky. They were staring at that dark red colored vortex.

Blue colored electric currents were flickering through that dark red colored vortex. At the same time, the dark red colored vortex started to rotate. Its rotation speed was not fast. However, its rotation was followed by an odd pattern.

"Mn, what's happening?"

Everyone was looking at the scene in front of them with astonishment. That was because with merely the rotation of the dark red colored vortex, it had caused the area roughly a mile in circumference surrounding the Cyan Emperor to be completely distorted. Everyone was barely able to see the figure of the Cyan Emperor within that distorted space.

"Big brother, that dark red colored vortex has created a large formation array." Said Hei Yu via voice transmission.

Qin Yu also raised his head up to look. Sure enough, the dark blue colored lightning that was originally inside the depths of the dark red colored vortex had started coming out. After the dark blue colored lightning appeared out from the surface of the dark red colored vortex, it turned into a large dark blue colored formation array. That formation array was in the shape of a ring. The interior of the ring was covered with numerous peculiar trajectories where the dark blue lightning was unceasingly traveling through.

What kind of formation array was this?

"The Three Great Divine Tribulations, this ought to be the First Great Divine Tribulation." Muttered Song Shi.

Chapter 42 – Three Great Divine Tribulations

The sky was muddled dark, with black clouds boiling. In the middle of the black cloud was an enormous dark red colored vortex that spanned several thousand miles. This vortex was spinning unceasingly and causing the space in the area of a mile surrounding the Cyan Emperor to be completely distorted.

Qin Yu, Dragon Emperor, Peng Demon Emperor and a thousand other Emperor level experts were unable to pass through that distorted space. All they could do was to vaguely watch the silhouette in that distorted space... the Cyan Emperor.

"Three Great Divine Tribulations?" Qin Yu heard what Immortal Emperor Song Shi who stood beside him muttered and started to become puzzled. Qin Yu didn't know anything regarding the Divine Tribulation, thus he immediately asked quietly. "Brother Song Shi, you said something about 'Three Great Divine Tribulations,' what is that?"

The heaven and earth were rumbling. Qin Yu and Song Shi's voice was able to be completely neglected.

Immortal Emperor Song Shi replied quietly. "Qin Yu, this was also only something that I've heard from my master. There was a total of three Divine Tribulations. The first one was formed by Heavenly Thunder. The dark blue colored Heavenly Thunder is the strongest kind of lightning that Emperor level experts could control. As for this first Divine Tribulation, it is an ancient formation array formed by dark blue colored Heavenly Thunder. The power of them falling down together was immensely powerful... it was very hard for even ordinary level nine Immortal Emperors to take on."

Qin Yu was startled.

"No wonder the legendary Divine Tribulation is extremely hard to pass and majority of the Immortal Emperors would fail their Divine Tribulation. With the First Great Divine Tribulation being that powerful, the following two Great Divine Tribulations are certain to be even more powerful."

Immortal Emperor Song Shi said in a low voice. "Qin Yu, look... the dark blue colored lightning is unceasingly flowing about the ancient formation array. That ancient formation array is created by the heaven and earth, its was certainly to be very powerful. And the dark blue colored lightning is already the strongest lightning that Emperor level experts could grasp, after it passed through the ancient formation array like so, its power would continue to increase..." Immortal Emperor Song Shi continued to gasp in admiration. "Not only that, this is merely the First Great Divine Tribulation. The Second Great Divine Tribulation is even more frightening. You ought to know that the experts that undergo the Divine Tribulation would usually have abundant preparations. Majority of them would be able to pass the First Great Divine Tribulation. However, as for the Second Great Divine Tribulation, it's extremely hard!"

"Oh?" Qin Yu started to puzzle. "What might this Second Great Divine Tribulation be?"

"Furthermore, I've heard from my master that when the Divine Tribulation started, the one mile circumference around the person undergoing the Divine Tribulation would be cut off from the rest of the world. The one mile circumference that my master is in is filled with illusions. Furthermore, his heart's devil would also unceasingly come about. The entire Divine Tribulation would be like so. If one were to be distracted in the slightest, then one might have one's body crushed to pieces and soul scattered by the Divine Tribulation." Immortal Emperor Song Shi was also a bit nervous. "The First Great Divine Tribulation is about to land."

Qin Yu raised his head and looked at it carefully.

That ancient formation array formed by the dark blue colored lightning appeared like a millstone. At this moment, that dark blue colored millstone emerged from that enormous red vortex. At the same time, that dark blue colored millstone was still slowly rotating.

"Nine dark blue colored lightnings." Qin Yu was able to clearly see with his eyes that there are a total of nine dark blue colored lightnings continuously revolving about the middle of the millstone with a strange trajectory.

"Rumble~~~"

The giant millstone formed by the dark blue colored lightning was slowly revolving. At the same time, it was slowly descending from the sky. Although this millstone was descending very slowly, it was giving off an impression, as if it was the end of the world.

"It's this slow?" Qin Yu was a bit puzzled.

From his knowledge, the majority of the Tribulation lightning would stuck down rapidly. However, this enormous millstone created by nine dark blue colored lightning was descending with a rather slow speed. The distance between the enormous red vortex and the Cyan Emperor was merely ten thousand meters. However, that millstone flew for ten entire breathes worth of time before landing.

Over a thousand Emperor level experts were able to see the Cyan Emperor lifting his right hand high up against the sky in that distorted space. At the same time, he shouted with a thunder-like voice. "Break!"

The enormous millstone landed with a rumble. It was a clear contrast against the tiny silhouette of the Cyan Emperor. That tiny palm collided with the enormous lightning millstone.

However, the result of the collision was...

The enormous millstone started to crack. That ancient formation array had collapsed completely. Like roaming dragons, the nine dark blue lightnings that composed the ancient formation array started to run about in all directions without any pattern. Whenever they collided with the Cyan Emperor's body, they would immediately dissipate.

"As expected, the Cyan Emperor possessed extraordinary strength."

"The Cyan Emperor has been hiding his strength the entire time. He managed to so easily cut open the First Great Divine Tribulation. His strength surpasses ours by far."

Hidden Emperor, Emperor Yu and the rest all started to discuss the Cyan Emperor. These people knew quite a lot about the Divine Tribulation. They also knew of the might of the First Great Divine Tribulation. Upon seeing how the Cyan Emperor broke through it so easily, they all had somewhat realized Cyan Emperor's strength.

"Big brother, was that the First Great Divine Tribulation? It appeared just so-so to me." Said Hou Fei to Qin Yu as if he didn't see anything extraordinary.

Immortal Emperor Song Shi glared and said. "That's because my master is very powerful. Had it been any other regular level nine Immortal Emperor, then I reckon they'll be already seriously injured by this First Great Divine Tribulation already." Upon seeing Hou Fei acting like so, Qin Yu could also only laugh wryly.

"This Heavenly Lightning has already reached the dark blue stage. With the Nine Steps Dark Gold Body, it could only take the lightning head on after it reached the eighth stage. Even the seventh stage would sustain injuries." Ye Qu who stood to the side spoke.

Ao Wuxu also had an extremely serious face.

Upon seeing the reactions of the people, Hou Fei stopped saying anything more. Qin Yu lightly laughed and said. "Well then, the Second Great Divine Tribulation is already storing up its energy now. Pay close attention, there won't be such a great opportunity to watch it again in the future."

Not only the group of people with Qin Yu, the other people also started to discuss the First Great Divine Tribulation from earlier. Merely a moment later, the Ridge Peak Star had once again returned to the silence from before. Everyone had their heads raised, they were looking, looking to see exactly what the Second Great Divine Tribulation would look like.

The black clouds rolled. The direction of the rotation of the enormous red vortex started to change. The outer vortex was still spilling at the same orientation as before. However, the inner vortex started to spin at the opposite direction. Suddenly, electric sparks appeared in the region of the intersection between the inner and outer vortex.

Black flames emerged from the area between the inner and outer vortex. The red vortex was several thousands of miles wide. Although it was merely a slight amount of black flames everywhere, but one cannot belittle these black flames should they be gathered together.

Black flames?

"Blue Heavenly Flames are blue colored. Extremely Silent Heavenly Flames are golden colored with a blue colored exterior. What is this black flame?" Asked Qin Yu in a low voice.

"Divine Flame!" Immortal Emperor Song Shi had a very solemn expression. "The True Flame of the Nascent Souls of Immortal Emperors are Extremely Silent Heavenly Flames. It is rumored that this Divine Flame is the True Flame of Deities. It is extremely powerful."

"True Flame of Deities? That... how could anyone be able to take that on?" Qin Yu was startled.

Hou Fei who stood to the side said. "Regarding this Divine Flame, I actually know about it. Not only Deities possessed them... in the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm, the beings birthed by flames, the Super Divine Beasts Phoenix and Fire Qilin would also have the Divine Flame as their True Flame upon reaching Emperor level."

"Divine Flame, it is said that it can be used to refine Divine Artifacts. Generally, one could only defend against the Divine Flame should one possess a Divine Artifact and use a large amount of energy." Explained Immortal Emperor Song Shi. "This Divine Flame would only attack once. As long as you can defend against it, it'll automatically dissipate. If one were to be roasted by the Divine Flame, then in time even ordinary Divine Artifacts would melt. No matter how strong a cultivator was, he would still be unable to resist it."

"That's not for certain." Said Ye Qu who stood to the side.

Upon training the Nine Steps Dark Gold Body to the max level, all of the bones in one's body would be as tough as High Quality Divine Artifacts. Divine Flame was only able to melt ordinary Divine Artifacts and materials that are used to refine Divine Artifacts. However, High Quality Divine Artifacts were not something that can be melted with merely Divine Flames.

"The Divine Flame is descending." Hei Yu who have been quiet the entire time spoke.

Qin Yu and them also saw that the black flames have finally finished gathering. They condensed together into a long black dragon shaped flame that spanned several tens of meters long. The long black dragon shaped flame came rushing downward.

Suddenly...

Everyone was shocked. The Cyan Emperor directly flew upwards toward the incoming black dragon-shaped Divine Flame.

Generally, one would take on one's tribulations on the ground because the impact that one would receive in the air was even greater. For the Cyan Emperor to do such a thing, it signified that he was either an idiot or extremely self confident. The Cyan Emperor was an idiot? Not a single person thought of that.

"Why isn't Cyan Emperor using his Divine Artifact?" Puzzled Hou Fei.

After the Cyan Emperor flew to the air, everyone was able to see his expression and what he was wearing even more clearly. The Cyan Emperor was still wearing his ordinary cyan jacket that was at the very most only a Top Quality Immortal Artifact.

Would the Cyan Emperor not have a Divine Armor? Of course not. However, the Cyan Emperor wasn't using it.

"Howl~~~" The black dragon-shaped flame actually roared. Afterwards, it opened its dragon mouth and swallowed the Cyan Emperor. That black flame had completely covered the Cyan Emperor.

The several tens of meters long black dragon-shaped flame continued to fly downwards. Logically, although the black flames had only covered the Cyan Emperor for a short period of time, even if the person was to be a level nine Immortal Emperor, they would still be burned to ashes without Divine Artifacts. Afterall, that black dragon-shaped flame was composed of Divine Flames!

Merely a breath's time have passed. Soon after, that black flame have surprisingly disappeared.

Sure enough, this Divine Tribulation was created by the cosmos and was extremely marvelous.

Qin Yu's eyes shined.

Qin Yu was able to clearly see that when the black Divine Flames were flying past the Cyan Emperor's body, the Cyan Emperor was radiating traces of jade green ripples. Under the protection of the jade green ripples, the Cyan Emperor was not damaged in the slightest.

"Those jade green ripples have protected the Cyan Emperor, what exactly is it?" Qin Yu was very certain about that.

When the black Divine Flame dissipated, the Cyan Emperor was still wearing his cyan jacket and had a light smile on his face.

Confidence!

Standing in the air and taking on the Divine Tribulation indifferently; with merely this sort of manner, it was already something that no ordinary people can reach up to. This Cyan Emperor who had stayed at the level eight Immortal Emperor stage for a frightening period of time has truly hidden his power extremely deep.

"I am inferior to the Cyan Emperor." A voice sounded. Qin Yu's extremely sensitive hearing was able to distinguish that it was Emperor Ni who said that.

"Haha... Emperor Ni, you need not mind too much about it. For the Cyan Emperor to achieve his current prowess, it mostly have to do with the fact that he was lucky back then. Luck... is something that's beyond one's ability to control." Laughed the Dragon Emperor.

Emperor Ni's true form is that of a Phoenix. She who was a level nine Demon Emperor level Phoenix was able to fill the entire sky with Extremely Silent Heavenly Flames and attack her enemy. Under the attack from the Extremely Silent Heavenly Flames, even if it was to be the Hidden Emperor, Lin Yin, he would still be unable to survive. Against Emperor Ni, even the Hidden Emperor has to flee.

As for the true finishing skill of Emperor Ni, it was charging her entire body into a Divine Flames and attacking her enemy. As she was birthed by flames, it was possible for her to change her body to flames. However, there is a limit to the time that she can turn into a Divine Flame. And now that she saw that the Cyan Emperor was unaffected by Divine Flames for a short period of time, Emperor Ni had no choice but to admit that she's inferior to the Cyan Emperor.

"Song Shi, what kind of martial technique did senior Cyan Emperor use earlier? What are those jade green ripples?" Qin Yu asked Immortal Emperor Song Shi.

Song Shi had a face filled with confusion. "I'm not certain either. Ever since tens of millions of years ago when my master started to train in a certain kind of special martial technique, I have never seen him fight. However, my master is very powerful. That's without doubt. When lecturing us martial brothers, he would always subdue us with only a single move."

Qin Yu nodded to himself.

Song Shi and his four other martial brothers, the strongest amongst them was now already at the level eight Immortal Emperor level. However, they were still subdued by the Cyan Emperor with a single move. One could easily imagine how deep and unmeasurable the Cyan Emperor's strength was.

"It's the final Divine Tribulation of the Three Great Divine Tribulations." Said Immortal Emperor Song Shi as he pointed at that enormous dark red colored vortex. "Qin Yu, this Third Great Divine Tribulation is the strongest amongst the three. Historically, many powerful Emperor level experts have died to this Third Great Divine Tribulation."

Qin Yu also understood that the final one was definitely the strongest. Thus, he was fully concentrated as he watched on.

Perhaps, one day he too might have to take on this Divine Tribulation.

The enormous dark red colored vortex started to give off bits of black colored mist. The black colored mist permeated out from the cracks within the vortex and then started to gather toward the center.

A lump of several hundred meters wide mist was formed. This lump of mist started to slowly descend downward.

"Black colored mist? What is that?" Qin Yu was carefully watching on with his eyes. It wasn't that he didn't want to use his Immortal Awareness but rather that, for some strange reason, his Immortal Awareness was unable to permeate into that distorted space.

As the black colored mist descended, Qin Yu finally managed to see the 'mystery' within the black colored mist.

"Lightning, gray colored lightning." Qin Yu's eyes were shining.

Within that black colored mist of several hundred meters were numerous gray electric snakes roaming through. Those gray electric snakes are extremely thin. At first, Qin Yu had thought them to be just part of the through great difficulty did he manage to distinguish the two.

"I've never seen a gray colored lightning before. It appears to be something frightening." Qin Yu was carefully watching how the Cyan Emperor would take it on.

The several hundred meters long and wide black mist was extremely large. It covered half of that one mile area. When it descended upon the Cyan Emperor, it immediately covered the Cyan Emperor completely.

"Chi Chi~~~"

Acute sound echoed. The thousand Emperor level experts all clearly heard the sound. Had the space not been distorted, they would also be able to clearly see that the countless amount of electric snakes were striking the Cyan Emperor's body unceasingly.

"Divine Tribulation, as expected, it's very powerful. Haha..."

The Cyan Emperor suddenly started to laugh out loud. The Cyan Emperor who was not moving and continued to let the electric snakes strike upon him suddenly stretched open his arms. A jade green colored water screen, with the Cyan Emperor as the center, started to spread in all directions.

Wherever the jade green colored water screen passed, everything would turn into nothingness, the black mist and the gray lightning included.

Afterwards, the jade green colored water screen started to gather toward the Cyan Emperor's body with an even faster speed. Soon after, it disappeared. The Cyan Emperor was still smiling as he stood in the air. It was as if he have not done anything at all. However, that black mist and those gray electric snakes have all disappeared.

"So powerful." Peng Demon Emperor, Dragon Emperor, Great Ape Emperor and other super experts were all shocked.

Even the Dragon Emperor and them who are close friends with the Cyan Emperor have never seen the Cyan Emperor's true strength before. The jade green colored water screen that the Cyan Emperor had displayed earlier was immensely powerful... its strength was definitely above that of Divine Flame.

"I reckon that the jade green ripples that countered the Divine Flame earlier is the same kind of energy as this jade green water screen." Qin Yu was still looking at the Cyan Emperor who was tranquilly smiling in the distance.

Chapter 43 – The Cyan Emperor's Punishment

That enormous dark red vortex slowly ascended into the rolling black clouds and disappeared. In merely a blink of an eye, the rolling black clouds had also dissipated. The sky has once again returned to its sunny and cloudless state.

That distorted space had also returned to normal. The figure of the Cyan Emperor also became clear to view now.

"The Divine Tribulation has ended." Qin Yu deeply exhaled.

The countless people in the Ridge Peak Star also returned from their earlier tense state. For the majority of the people present, it was the first time they have seen a Divine Tribulation. The effects of the shock from watching the Divine Tribulation were obvious...

"Everyone." The main character in this Divine Tribulation, the Cyan Emperor, was standing in midair. Loud and clear, he said. "The Divine Tribulation has ended. I, Chi Qing, have succeeded in passing the Divine Tribulation by a fluke. I have prepared a banquet on the Jade Wave Star; everyone, feel free to join."

"Huh, everyone can join? There's over a hundred million people here." Hou Fei gasped in surprise.

Ye Qu's extravagant voice sounded. "That Cyan Emperor was being overly modest. Succeeded in passing the Divine Tribulation by a fluke? You call that a fluke? Then what do we call others passing the Divine Tribulation?"

Ao Wuxu also nodded and said. "Without using formation arrays and barriers, without using Divine Artifacts, using merely his own strength and easily passing through all Three Great Divine Tribulations. Furthermore, his cyan jacket was not even damaged in the slightest. This Divine Tribulation was passed extremely elegantly."

Qin Yu smiled and said. "If the Cyan Emperor wasn't certain of passing the Divine Tribulation, then how would he possibly invite the entire Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm to come and watch? Furthermore, he already had people prepare a grand feast on the Jade Wave Star beforehand. However... the Cyan Emperor's boldness is also something that could be admired."

"Qin Yu, now that we've finished watching the Divine Tribulation, you can let us return now." Said Ao Wuxu lightly.

Bai Ling pulled Hei Yu's hand and said. "I'll also go back. If I were to stay with you all, I'll only be a burden." Hei Yu immediately started to comfort Bai Ling.

Afterwards, Ye Qu, Ao Wuxu and Bai Ling returned to the Jiang Lan's Realm.

"Qin Yu, those three said they're going back, where are they going to?" Immortal Emperor Song Shi who stood next to Qin Yu asked in confusion. "Could it be the legendary Qingyu Immortal Mansion with the extremely astonishing defense?"

Qingyu Immortal Mansion? Extremely astonishing defense?

Qin Yu could only laugh in his heart and say. "Yes, they're going back to precisely the Qingyu Immortal Mansion."

"Oh, my master had also told me before that he extremely admired one aspect of Immortal Emperor Ni Yang back then and and two aspects now." Gasped Immortal Emperor Song Shi in admiration.

Qin Yu grew curious and immediately asked. "Song Shi, tell me what they are."

"Admire, what's to admire?" Hou Fei and Hei Yu also looked over.

Immortal Emperor Song Shi laughed and said. "What my master admired Immortal Emperor Ni Yang before was for his social skills. He was actually able to become close friends with the Black Flame Lord and the White Profound Lord from the Dark Star Realm. In the Dark Star Realm, they would give troubles to and even attack foreigners, should they enter. The Three Great Sovereigns of the Dark Star Realm were an even more eccentric bunch. My master only managed to be in a good relationship with the Gold Punishment Lord of that time and did not manage to befriend either the Black Flame Lord and the White Profound Lord. That was because the two of them were very hard to get along with. For Ni Yang to be able to attain such a good relationship with the two of them, don't you think that was an amazing feat?"

"Indeed, he's amazing." Qin Yu remembered the Blazing Profound Ring.

The Blazing Profound Ring was precisely formed through the fusion of the Black Flame Lord's Ring and the White Profound Lord's Ring. Just from that, one could already know about how close the Black Flame Lord and the White Profound Lord were with Immortal Emperor Ni Yang.

"That's the first aspect, what's the second aspect?" Asked Hou Fei.

Song Shi smiled and said. "Back then, my master merely admired his social skills. However now... my master also admires Immortal Emperor Ni Yang's accomplishment in the defensive barriers! A mere Qingyu Immortal Mansion possessed such a powerful defense that even when Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor joined hands, they were unable to break through it. This was truly amazing. This aspect... I reckon there is no other person who's able to accomplish the same thing in the entire Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm."

"Cough..."

Qin Yu, Hou Fei and Hei Yu stared blankly. They have grown speechless.

Never had they expected that the rumor of the Jiang Lan's Realm being the Qingyu Immortal Mansion would cause the dead Immortal Emperor Ni Yang's reputation to become even more outstanding.

"What's wrong, did you not expect that? Could it be that the accomplishment that Immortal Emperor Ni Yang had in the defensive barrier aspect is not worthy of being admired?" Immortal Emperor Song Shi instead asked.

"Of course, of course it's worthy of being admired." Said Qin Yu and his two brothers immediately.

Hou Fei even gasped in admiration. "Song Shi, what you said is right. Had it not been for Immortal Emperor Ni Yang who made the Qingyu Immortal Mansion to be that sturdy, my big brother would've likely been killed by Emperor Yu on the Reef Yellow Star already. We ought to thank Immortal Emperor Ni Yang. Big brother, don't you think so too?"

"Yes, of course." Qin Yu was smiling wryly in his mind.

Immediately after, Qin Yu started to sweep his surroundings.

For the over a thousand Emperor level experts on the First District, the majority of them have left using Greater Teleportation. After all, the Jade Wave Star was located in the same galaxy as the Ridge Peak Star. The distance between them was not great and was a distance that could be reached after two or three Greater Teleportations. If they were to line up for the Interstellar Conveying Array, then who knows how long they'll have to wait as there were over a hundred million people.

When people came, no one knew about the location of the Ridge Peak Star and thus would have to use the Interstellar Conveying Arrays. However now, for the departure, they do not need to use the Interstellar Conveying Arrays.

"Everyone has already left, we should be leaving too." Said Qin Yu while smiling.

"Brother Qin Yu, do not rush to return. You three should come to the celebration in the Jade Wave Star. My master has prepared a magnificent banquet. There are banquets all over the entire Jade Wave Star... Those Golden Immortal and Heavenly Immortal level people would be able to enjoy the banquets in normal cities. As for the Emperor level experts, they are allowed to enjoy the banquets in the Crescent Moon Bay." Immortal Emperor Song Shi invited Qin Yu and his brothers.

Qin Yu looked to Hou Fei and Hei Yu.

There was certain to be a large group of Emperor level experts gathered in the Crescent Moon Bay. For such a large number of Emperor level experts to be gathered in a single place was still an extremely rarely seen occasion. Upon seeing Hou Fei and Hei Yu's expression, Qin Yu knew that his two brothers also wanted to go and check it out.

"Well, in that case, we shall stay a bit longer." Said Qin Yu while smiling.

While Qin Yu and his brothers were chatting with Song Shi, the Cyan Emperor instead had flown over to the location where the Dragon Emperor, Great Ape Emperor, Ox Demon Emperor, Emperor Ni and Ao Wuming were at.

"Brother Chi Qing, once you actually display your power, it's extremely astonishing!" Said the Dragon Emperor as he laughed. Ao Wuming who stood to the side also said. "Senior Cyan Emperor had passed the Divine Tribulation so easily, extremely admirable."

Great Ape Emperor, Ox Demon Emperor and them all offered their admirations and praise.

The Cyan Emperor said while smiling deeply. "Everyone, please don't say such a thing. For me to be able to attain my success today, I reckon that everyone knew of the reason. Luck, it was merely that I was lucky."

"What kind of reasoning is that? Luck is but a single aspect. There's also your insight. If it wasn't for your insight in the Bewitching God Temple when you determined that unremarkable thing was extraordinary, then how would you be able to attain your success today?" Said the Dragon Emperor.

Upon saying this point, Ao Wuming who had been confused the entire time came to realize. So it turned out that the success the Cyan Emperor obtained today had to do with the Bewitching God Temple.

"Well then, everyone, come with me to the Jade Wave Star's Crescent Moon Bay. We'll properly celebrate this occasion. Now that I've passed the Divine Tribulation, the time that I have remaining in the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm is not long. I will soon ascend to the Divine Realm. For the next time we meet each other again, I'm afraid that'll have to be in the Divine Realm." Lamented the Cyan Emperor.

Upon hearing those words, the surrounding people all thought of numerous things.

To meet again in the Divine Realm, what kind of scenario would that be?

"Haha, let's go. Having known you, Chi Qing, for all this time and knowing that I do not have much time left in the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm with you, today I shall eat and drink to the fullest with you." Said the Dragon Emperor as he laughed out loud.

Afterwards, this group of people all started to use Greater Teleportation toward the Jade Wave Star in succession.

When the Cyan Emperor was inviting the Dragon Emperor, Great Ape Emperor and them, Emperor Yu, Mystic Emperor, Peng Demon Emperor, Ao Ku, and Liu Tu were together. From time to time, they would look toward Qin Yu in the distance. They have even set up a barrier around themselves to not let their voices be heard.

"Brother Zong Yan, if we were to hesitate any longer, then I'm afraid that we would never have another opportunity to kill Qin Yu." Emperor Yu advised.

The Mystic Emperor Xuan Xi also spoke out. "Brother Zong Yan ought to understand that Qin Yu and his brothers are already very powerful right now and it would require a great deal of effort in order to kill them. If we were to not attack them now... then, firstly, with their ability to hide themselves, it would be very hard for us to find them again. Secondly, with their cultivation speed, even if we were to meet the brothers again, it'll likely be very hard for us to kill them!"

"That Qin Yu has trained in a body fortification technique; his current body is as tough as a Divine Artifact. Brother Zong Yan ought to know about that." Emperor Yu continued.

However, at this moment, Ao Ku and Liu Tu did not say anything. The Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan's brows slightly creased. Following which he took a glance at the distant Qin Yu who was currently talking with Immortal Emperor Song Shi. He too wanted to kill Qin Yu.

It's just that the Cyan Emperor had clearly said that they are not allowed to fight. If they were to fight, then it's the same as not giving the Cyan Emperor face. The Cyan Emperor's strength was already illustrated from the earlier Divine Tribulation.

Not only the Cyan Emperor, the person the Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan feared the most was actually Granny Yin Hua.

He still remembered the time when Granny Yin Hua blocked his attack. It was clear that Granny Yin Hua's speed was even faster than his.

"To attack or not to attack?" The Peng Demon Emperor frowned. He was hesitating in his heart.

"Qin Yu had left." Ao Ku suddenly spoke.

Peng Demon Emperor, Emperor Yu, and the Mystic Emperor looked over. Sure enough... Qin Yu, his two brothers and Immortal Emperor Song Shi had used Greater Teleportation and departed from the Ridge Peak Star. Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor grew a bit anxious. Even with their current strength as level nine Immortal Emperors, they are unable to kill Qin Yu. If they wanted to kill him, they must rely on the Peng Demon Emperor.

"Brother Feng Yu, are you certain that Granny Yin Hua is not on the Jade Wave Star?" Peng Demon Emperor suddenly asked.

"I'm certain. Granny Yin Hua had already departed before the Divine Tribulation even started. At this moment, there's a eight or nine out of ten chance that Granny Yin Hua would not be on the Jade Wave Star." Said Emperor Yu.

A cold light flashed through the Peng Demon Emperor's eyes. "Good. In that case we shall go to the Jade Wave Star immediately and then find out where Qin Yu and his brothers are. I'll take care of Qin Yu. Ao Ku and Liu Tu would pin down Hou Fei. The two of you shall kill Hei Yu. What do you think about that?"

Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor had joy spelled out in their eyes. "Good."

After the three of them set up their agreement, they immediately used Greater Teleportation and departed from the Ridge Peak Star.

In the sky above the oceans of the Jade Wave Star.

Qin Yu, his two brothers and Immortal Emperor Song Shi were alongside chatting and laughing as they flew toward the Crescent Moon Bay. Suddenly, an Immortal Awareness had covered Qin Yu and his brothers from afar.

"Emperor Yu's Immortal Awareness." Qin Yu frowned. "Xiao Hei, Fei Fei, be careful. That Emperor Yu might be planning to attack us."

"Brother Qin Yu, don't worry. This is the celebration for my master's successful Divine Tribulation, how would that Emperor Yu dared stir up troubles?" Immortal Emperor Song Shi did not believe that Emperor Yu would start a fight here. However, Qin Yu instead covered the entire Jade Wave Star with his Immortal Awareness.

He was able to clearly discover that the Peng Demon Emperor was currently with Emperor Yu and Mystic Emperor at a location several million miles away from where they are.

Suddenly...

"Not good." Qin Yu discovered that the Peng Demon Emperor have suddenly disappeared. Clearly he had used Greater Teleportation. In merely a moment, Peng Demon Emperor appeared in a location a mile away from them. At the same time, he was rushing toward them with a frightening speed.

A mile?

With the Peng Demon Emperor's speed, it was a distance that he'll be able to cover instantly.

"Don't resist." Qin Yu's first reaction was to directly sent his two brothers, Hei Yu and Hou Fei, into the Jiang Lan's Realm. As for Immortal Emperor Song Shi, Qin Yu did not believe that the Peng Demon Emperor would attack him.

Right after Qin Yu sent his two brothers back into the Jiang Lan's Realm, the Peng Demon Emperor arrived. As for Emperor Yu, he and the Mystic Emperor, level eight Demon Emperors Ao Ku and Liu Tu have also used Greater Teleportation and teleported to a location a mile away from Qin Yu.

"Where's Hei Yu?" When Peng Demon Emperor was about to kill Qin Yu, he was astonished to discover... that Hei Yu had disappeared.

His true goal was for Emperor Yu and them to kill Hei Yu. Now that Hei Yu had disappeared, the Peng Demon Emperor was unable to hide his shock for a moment. This also caused his attack to be a bit slower.

"Peng Demon Emperor, today is the celebration day for Senior Cyan Emperor to successfully pass the Divine Tribulation; you dare to come stir up trouble?" Qin Yu rapidly flew backwards and said via voice transmission simultaneously.

"Qingyu Immortal Mansion. Humph. Once I kill you, Qin Yu, that Qingyu Immortal Mansion would naturally appear. At that moment, that little bastard Hei Yu would not be able to escape either." Said the Peng Demon Emperor via voice transmission. At the same time, with his speed at its extreme, he came charging at Qin Yu once again.

"Peng Demon Emperor!" Immortal Emperor Song Shi who stood to the side unexpectedly grew angry. Never had he expected for there to actually be people who refused to give his master face.

And at this moment, Emperor Yu, Mystic Emperor, Ao Ku and Liu Tu had also arrived.

"Stop!"

A furious voice resounded through the heaven and earth. At the same time, a cyan colored light rushed into the space between Qin Yu and the Peng Demon Emperor from the side. Peng Demon Emperor's golden light ferociously collided with this cyan light. Peng Demon Emperor was unable to refrain from drawing back.

That cyan colored light turned into a man. It was the Cyan Emperor.

Emperor Yu, Mystic Emperor, Ao Ku and Liu Tu flew to the Peng Demon Emperor's side. The five of them were looking at the Cyan Emperor.

"Zong Yan, Feng Yu, Xuan Xi, today is the day of my Divine Tribulation. Furthermore, I have numerous experts from all over the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm to join my banquet. Yet, you all paid no mind to what I have said in the slightest and instead attacked another..." The Cyan Emperor have an angry expression on his face.

Qin Yu who stood to the side rubbed his fists. He didn't enter into the Jiang Lan's Realm earlier because he wanted to test out his strength fighting against the Peng Demon Emperor.

"It would seem that only after one reached level eight Demon Emperor level would one be able to fight several tens of rounds against the Peng Demon Emperor." Gasped Qin Yu in his heart. He then glanced at the Cyan Emperor. "Cyan Emperor appears to be very angry."

The Cyan Emperor was indeed extremely angry.

For him to invite the experts from the entire Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm to attend his Divine Tribulation, it was all for the sake of face. And now, he had decided to hold a grand banquet through the entire Jade Wave Star. That too was for the sake of face and reputation.

As a man who was about to ascend to the Divine Realm, what would he care about? After enduring silently for tens of millions of years, he only managed to be grand and majestic today after great difficulty.

"Chi Qing, if I want to kill Qin Yu, what can you do about it?" Said the Peng Demon Emperor proudly.

Comparing speed, the Peng Demon Emperor feared only Granny Yin Hua.

"What can I do about it? Haha... I have said that whoever that attacked another, I will personally punish them... the five of you, I will not kill you. Instead... I will punish you!" The Cyan Emperor's voice had turned cold.

Qin Yu and the rest only sensed that the surrounding space had started to tremble.

Nine Cyan Emperors suddenly appeared beside the Peng Demon Emperor, Emperor Yu and the rest. These nine Cyan Emperors have surrounded Peng Demon Emperor and the other four completely. Peng Demon Emperor and the rest's expression changed. That was because these nine Cyan Emperors possessed the same strength as the true body. Jade green water screens, with the Cyan Emperors as the points, have covered the Peng Demon Emperor and the rest. Peng Demon Emperor and the rest were shock to find that... they can no longer move.

Of the nine Cyan Emperors, five of them walked respectively in front of the Peng Demon Emperor, Emperor Yu, Mystic Emperor, Ao Ku and Liu Tu.

"Bang!"

All five of the Cyan Emperors extended out their right fist and ruthlessly smashed it onto the faces of the five people. The five people were unable to move in the slightest and could only watch as the fist came smashing on their faces.

Chapter 44 – Angry Humiliation

"Bang!"

Five fists ruthlessly smashed onto five faces. The sound of noses breaking were heard almost simultaneously. Blood splashed everywhere. Peng Demon Emperor, Emperor Yu, Mystic Emperor, Ao Ku and Liu Tu were all hit so hard that their faces have turned bloodied.

The nine Cyan Emperors suddenly fused together and turned into a single Cyan Emperor.

The Cyan Emperor looked to the Peng Demon Emperor and the other four with a light smile. "Zong Yan, Feng Yu, Xuan Xi, for you all to stir up troubles here, I'll consider this punch of mine to be your punishment. I hope that you all would know when to advance and when to retreat. Otherwise... I do not mind to make my fist even heavier compared to earlier."

That jade green colored water screen has completely returned back to the Cyan Emperor's body. The binding on the Peng Demon Emperor and the rest were removed. However, none of them doubted that the Cyan Emperor could once again subdue them.

Qin Yu, Immortal Emperor Song Shi as well as the Dragon Emperor, Ao Wuming, Great Ape Emperor and a large group of other people that had arrived afterwards all saw the humiliation that the Peng Demon Emperor and the other four received.

In an instant, Peng Demon Emperor and the other four immediately recovered their injured faces. However, the humiliation from earlier was something that they cannot forget in their entire lifetime.

"Huff!"

The Peng Demon Emperor's chest was like bellows as he took in a deep breath. His complexion had turned dark reddish purple. His gaze was like that of a beast wanting to eat someone. His immense anger was something that everyone present was able to sense. A never before seen humiliation. The Peng Demon Emperor's anger had reached its peak.

"Cyan Emperor, you're strong indeed." The Peng Demon Emperor slowly exhaled. His dark reddish purple complexion had also turned pale.

Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor's expressions were also very unsightly. However, neither of them did anything. That was because they have both sensed the gap between them and the Cyan Emperor earlier. If they were to try to attack him, then they'll only be asking for more humiliation. As for Ao Ku and Liu Tu, they were standing behind the Peng Demon Emperor and not saying a single word.

"Qin Yu." Emperor Yu looked to Qin Yu. "If you have the ability... then I dare you to stay beside the Cyan Emperor for your entire life."

Afterwards, Emperor Yu said coldly. "Brother Chi Qing's countless years of bitter cultivation was truly exceptional. In front of you, I do not even have the capability to move. I, Feng Yu, admit my defeat. After being bestowed the fist by brother Chi Qing, I no longer possess the face to participate in your banquet. Thus, I shall take my leave..."

Before Emperor Yu was even finished, Peng Demon Emperor had already interrupted.

Peng Demon Emperor looked at Cyan Emperor. "Cyan Emperor, after cultivating for all these years, your strength has actually reached such a level. Only now did I find out that... I was mistaken about a matter. Excessively mistaken." The Peng Demon Emperor's eyes were emitting evil intent. He shot a glance toward Qin Yu.

Qin Yu was unable to refrain himself from narrowing his eyes.

"Zong Yan, what is it that you want to say?" Said the Cyan Emperor indifferently.

Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan instead looked to the Dragon Emperor and the Great Ape Emperor. "Ao Fang, Sun Yuan, we Three Great Emperors of the Demon Clan had once thought that we would be able to do whatever we wished in the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm as with our Inherited Treasures. I had felt that Bewitching God Temple was not something of worth the entire time. However, never would I have expected that the treasure that Chi Qing obtained in the Bewitching God Temple from back then would allow him to power up to such a level. It would appear that us looking down upon the Divine Artifacts of the Bewitching God Temple all these years was a mistake."

Qin Yu, Immortal Emperor Song Shi as well as all the ever increasing number of Emperor level experts gathered here were all surprised.

So it turns out that the Cyan Emperor being this powerful was because of a Divine Artifact from the Bewitching God Temple.

"What? Cyan Emperor had been to the Bewitching God Temple before?" Said Emperor Yu in shock. Mystic Emperor also had an unbelieving expression on her face. In the memories of Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor, Cyan Emperor had never once been to the Bewitching God Temple before. Furthermore, he didn't even fight for the Bewitching God Painting.

"That's right, I've been to the Bewitching God Temple. Merely, that's something that happened tens of millions of years ago. At that moment, I went to the Bewitching God Temple with three other Emperor level experts. And at that time, Feng Yu, Xuan Xi, you two were merely nonentities in the Immortal Realm." Said the Cyan Emperor indifferently.

Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor took a glance at each other. They were both a bit humiliated and angry in their hearts.

They felt that in front of the Cyan Emperor, they were like infants in front of an adult. Tens of millions of years ago, the gap between them was immensely great... and now, the gap between them was still as great as before even though they were all level nine Immortal Emperors.

"For the Cyan Emperor to have such achievements, it was all because of the Bewitching God Temple. As for the most important treasure for exploring the Bewitching God Temple, the Bewitching God Painting, it is currently precisely with Qin Yu. Qin Yu... I hope that you'll hide that Bewitching God Painting well, I reckon there'll be a whole bunch of people coming to take your Bewitching God Painting." The Peng Demon Emperor had an expression of fake kindness.

Qin Yu's expression turned cold.

"This sinister scoundrel." Qin Yu swept his gaze around his surroundings. Currently, of the over a hundred Emperor level experts gathered here, the overwhelming majority of them had a look of desire as they looked at Qin Yu. "After what the Peng Demon Emperor said, I reckon there'll be even more people wanting the Bewitching God Painting."

And right at this moment...

"Peng Demon Emperor, is that Bewitching God Painting truly on this Qin Yu?" A black clothed old man bystander suddenly spoke out. This black clothed old man had a very indistinct appearance. Chillness was naturally being emitted from his body. The other Emperor level experts were all involuntarily keeping their distances from him. This old man was a hidden expert of the Devil Realm. His level was that of a level nine Devil Emperor! As for how powerful he was, no one was certain. After all, with Granny Yin Hua as an example, these Hidden Experts' strength were extremely hard to tell.

Peng Demon Emperor turned around to look. Upon seeing this black clothed old man, his eyes immediately shined and said. "That's certain. If Qin Yu did not possess the Bewitching God Painting, then why would Emperor Yu spent immense effort in trying to kill him? Brother Feng Yu, don't you agree?"

Emperor Yu and the Peng Demon Emperor exchanged a glance. He then also smiled and said. "Precisely. I will also not conceal this secret any longer. The Bewitching God Painting is indeed on Qin Yu. Furthermore, not only the Bewitching God Painting, even the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas is on him."

Fixed attention!

Over a hundred Emperor level experts simultaneously looked to Qin Yu with passionate eyes.

The Cyan Emperor's strength was already displayed. Even the Peng Demon Emperor, when in front of the Cyan Emperor, had his hands tied. And the source of the Cyan Emperor's strength was precisely the Bewitching God Temple. Not to mention those Immortal Emperors, even the Dragon Emperor, Ao Wuming, Ox Demon Emperor and them were unable to refrain themselves from yearning for it. Fortunately, the Dragon Emperor and them each had their own respective things to rely on and did not yearn for the Bewitching God Painting greatly.

"Peng Demon Emperor, Emperor Yu, truly treacherous." Qin Yu sensed that the situation had turned somewhat bad. However, there was nothing he can do about it now.

The number of Emperor level experts gathered in the surrounding grew more and more numerous. Many of the people looked to Qin Yu with the intention to kill. This caused Qin Yu to become even more angry. Qin Yu's ice cold gaze was ruthlessly swept to those people. He said in his heart.

"You bunch of greedy bastards, it's best for you to not anger me. If you were to anger me, then I'll go into the Jiang Lan's Realm and train for several thousands of years and reach the ninth stage of the Nine Steps Dark Gold Body. At that time, whoever dares become my enemy shall be killed with no exception."

Qin Yu's gaze that was filled with killing intent instead caused those Emperor level experts to be shocked.

They have remembered that this Qin Yu fought to a standstill with Emperor Yu. For a level two, three, five or six Immortal Emperor or Demon Emperor, trying to snatch that Bewitching God Painting from Qin Yu was the same as throwing their lives away. Those weaker Emperor level experts immediately concealed the greed of their heart. However, they were nevertheless prepared to attack him the moment he fell from grace.

"Humph." Qin Yu sneered coldly.

In the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm, sometimes one must be a bit more forceful. While Qin Yu could forget about others should they not provoke him, but if they were to try to come to kill him and snatch his treasure, then he too cannot be too compassionate and lenient toward them.

"Everyone." Cyan Emperor lightly smiled and said. "For I to attain my current achievement, it is indeed related to that Bewitching God Temple."

Once the Cyan Emperor said those words, everyone immediately looked to him. As for Qin Yu, he started to frown again.

"It's just that the treasure that I've obtained was not really a Divine Artifact. Furthermore, it made me stay at the level eight Immortal Emperor level and bitterly trained for tens of millions of years before attaining success. Had it not been for that treasure, I would've long since ascended to the Divine Realm. For there to be gain, there must be loss."

The Cyan Emperor said with a clear voice. "Well then, everyone, the banquet has already been prepared. Everyone, it's best follow me to the Crescent Moon Bay first."

"Good, everyone, let's attend the banquet." Immortal Emperor Song Shi also said with a face filled with smiles.

"We will not be going, farewell." Emperor Yu suddenly said. The Mystic Emperor also stood beside Emperor Yu.

The Cyan Emperor merely smiled and nodded.

"Chi Qing, I too will take my leave." The Peng Demon Emperor also cupped his hand respectfully. Afterwards, Peng Demon Emperor, Emperor Yu and them flew away rapidly.

Crescent Moon Bay. Over a hundred tables were placed in an spacious courtyard mansion. Qin Yu and his two brothers were seated at a table by the corner.

Qin Yu, Hou Fei and Hei Yu sat at a table. They were the only ones at that table. A voice restrictive barrier was placed in the surroundings by Qin Yu. Although Hou Fei and Hei Yu were sent into the Jiang Lan's Realm by Qin Yu, but they too have heard about what happened earlier.

"The circumstances are as such. I reckon our following days would be even harder than before. Say, what do you two think we should do?" Qin Yu told what happened earlier clearly. He also explained the current situation they are in.

"So freaking troublesome. Whoever it is that wants to come and steal the Bewitching God Painting, we'll just kill them directly. If we're unable to defeat them, we'll hide. What are we three brothers afraid of?" Hou Fei was filled with anger.

Hei Yu's expression was also gloomy. "Big brother, there is no need to be lenient toward those that want to kill us."

Qin Yu nodded.

Qin Yu understood that ever since the Peng Demon Emperor told everything in front of all those Emperor level experts, it was likely that more than half of the entire Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm's Emperor level experts have knew about it by now. It was very possible for them to be surrounded to kill.

"Haha..." Qin Yu suddenly laughed. He raised his wine cup and drank the wine. "Xiao Hei, Fei Fei, there is no need to care about these. We will properly train and enjoy life at ease. If those people behave themselves, then we can disregard them. However, if they want to kill us and snatch the Bewitching God Painting, we most certainly cannot just stand there and let them kill us."

Qin Yu's intention was very clear.

"Well then, let's leave first." Qin Yu suddenly stood up.

Once the three brothers stood up, the rest of the Emperor level experts that were laughing and chatting all looked to them. Qin Yu took a glance at his surroundings before proceeding to walk toward the frontmost table with his brothers. Seated at that table were the Cyan Emperor, Dragon Emperor, Emperor Ni, Great Ape Emperor and them.

"Senior Cyan Emperor, everyone, we three brothers still have matter to attend to so we'll be taking our leave first." Said Qin Yu as he cupped his hand respectfully.

The Cyan Emperor took a glance at Qin Yu and his brothers. He then smiled and nodded. "In that case, I will not be able to send you off. Qin Yu, I will still be on the Crescent Moon Bay for another half a year. If you want to come, then you can come and find me within this period of time. As for after the half year's time... if you want to see me, then I reckon it'll be in the Divine Realm."

Afterwards, Qin Yu and his brothers left the Crescent Moon Bay under the gaze of numerous Emperor level experts.

On an uninhabited planet. Suddenly, a single figure appeared. It was Qin Yu.

Qin Yu was currently using Greater Teleportation by himself and rushing toward the Cyan Flame Star Field's Flowing Mist Star with a rapid speed. If the three brothers were to journey together, it would've been easier for their identity to be leaked as there are three of them. Thus, it was safer for Qin Yu to proceed onward by himself.

In a half month's time, Qin Yu had reached the Cyan Flame Star FIeld's Flowing Mist Star from the Crescent Moon Bay.

Inside the Flowing Mist Star's Five Willows Palace.

Qin Yu, Hou Fei, Hei Yu, Bai Ling and the rest were gathered together.

"Fei Fei, Xiao Hei." Qin Yu said. "This Flowing Mist Star could still be considered as being safe. For Little Tong and Guo Fan to be here, you all could still feel reassured. I am prepared to enter the Jiang Lan's Realm and start training the Nine Steps Dark Gold Body. What do you all plan to do?"

Qin Yu felt that his strength was still not powerful enough. If he was to be truly powerful, then who would dare provoke him? Instead, they'll likely be afraid that he'll come cause problems for them.

"Big brother, how would we dare be lazy when you're about to start training?" Said Hou Fei while laughing. Hei Yu also nodded and looked to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu was unable to refrain himself from smiling.

"Ling'er, I'm sorry." Hei Yu looked to Bai Ling who stood beside him. Bai Ling merely smiled and shook her head. Bai Ling knew that with her own cultivation speed, it was simply impossible for her to keep up with Hei Yu. It was likely that when Hei Yu ascend to the Divine Realm, Bai Ling would be unable to ascend with him.

Thus, Bai Ling decided to stay with her daughter Hei Tong.

Qin Yu and his brothers once again returned to the Jiang Lan's Realm and started their seclusion training. As for Bai Ling, Hei Tong and the rest, they stayed in the Flowing Mist Star and lived their lives peacefully. As for when Qin Yu and his brothers would once again come out from the Jiang Lan's Realm, at the very least for now they do not know.

The Imperial City of the core planet of the Bird Clan, Black Crow Star.

"Scram!"

With a wave of his sleeve, two maids were sent flying. Their blood splashed all over the palace chambers' stairs.

Wearing a golden crown, golden boots and golden clothes, Peng Demon Emperor was still standing in his palace chambers. "Without my command, you all are not allowed back in here again."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The two maids said respectfully while trembling with fear. Soon after, they hurriedly left here. And at this moment, four figures appeared at a distant place by the palace chambers. They were looking at the palace chambers. These four people were Ao Ku, Liu Tu, Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor.

"Ao Ku, Liu Tu, what's wrong with brother Zong Yan?" Asked Emperor Yu.

Ao Ku and Liu To smiled helplessly. Soon after, Ao Ku explained. "In all these years, His Majesty has never suffered such a great humiliation before. This time around, after being humiliated like so by the Cyan Emperor, His Majesty has been burning with rage the entire time."

"Brother Feng Yu, if you all want to come in then come in. There is no need to stand outside." Suddenly, Peng Demon Emperor turned around. His ice cold gaze was looking toward where Emperor Yu and them stood.

Emperor Yu and them glanced at each other and then started to walk toward the Peng Demon Emperor's palace chambers.

Chapter 45 – Gathering

The palace chambers were desolate. There was not a single maid present. It was giving off a gloomy and cold sensation. And the sole person in the palace chambers... the Peng Demon Emperor, currently had his hands behind his back and standing without moving. Emperor Yu, Mystic Emperor, Ao Ku and Liu Tu walked into the palace chambers with puzzlement in their hearts. They do not know why the Peng Demon Emperor wanted them to come inside.

"Brother Feng Yu, you all must've also felt the pressure Qin Yu and his brothers brought upon you all, right?" The Peng Demon Emperor stood with his back toward Emperor Yu and them. However, he suddenly asking a question.

Emperor Yu suddenly stopped. However, he still responded. "Brother Zong Yan is correct. The speed in which Qin Yu and his brothers power up is truly too frightening. For every additional day that they live, it'll be another day of nervousness for me... with their cultivation speed, even if I managed to luckily pass the Divine Tribulation and ascend to the Divine Realm, I'm afraid that once I'm in the Divine Realm, I'll still be much inferior to them."

Emperor Yu's wife Xuan Xi also felt a bit helpless in her heart. Following her husband, she also became an enemy of Qin Yu and his brothers. And now, she too was feeling an immense pressure in her heart. Furthermore, currently, she and her husband no longer have the ability to kill Qin Yu at all.

"That's right." Peng Demon Emperor suddenly turned around. He looked to Emperor Yu with his sharp gaze. "Brother Feng Yu, for you to have such a feeling, how would I not have such a feeling too? That third brother of Qin Yu, Hei Yu, was actually a Variation Super Divine Beast. Furthermore, according to my investigation, this Hei Yu's speed is not inferior to the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird, his attack techniques are comparable to those of the Monkey and Ape Clan and his defense is something that no one in the Bird Clan could compare with. One could say that... a Variation Divine Beast like Hei Yu possessed no weak point."

"That powerful?" Emperor Yu was shocked upon hearing that.

"As you wanted to kill Qin Yu, you have not considered about Hei Yu much. Thus, you've naturally not came to realize that." Peng Demon Emperor's eyes narrowed. A cold ray of light was emitting from his eyes. "In merely several hundred years, this Hei Yu has reached level six Demon Emperor level. If we were to allow him to continue his growth, then I'd reckon that he'll be able to reach level nine Demon Emperor level in another ten thousand years. At that time, with merely his defense, I would become unable to break through it."

The Peng Demon Emperor felt helpless.

Although the Inherited Treasure of the Peng Clan was extremely powerful and could increase his speed to a frightening level, but on the aspects of attack power... although his attack power approaches that of a High Quality Divine Artifact, but when compared to his speed, it was instead a weak point.

"Brother Feng Yu, are you able to continue to bear and allow them to continue increasing their power?" Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan looked to Emperor Yu.

Emperor Yu shook his head and replied hurriedly with anger. "I have always wanted to kill Qin Yu, but... currently, we don't even know where he lives. How do we kill him? There's nothing we can do!"

"No."

Peng Demon Emperor smiled coldly and shook his head. "Although we are temporarily unable to find where Hei Yu and his brothers are, but we are able to increase the amount of troops and power we spent on searching for them. That way, we can also restrict them from increasing their attack power."

"Restrict?" Mystic Emperor who stood to the side asked in confusion. "How do we stop them from increasing their strength?"

Peng Demon Emperor laughed and said. "The fastest method of increasing one's strength is not increasing one's original strength but instead obtaining a powerful weapon. If that Qin Yu were to possess a treasure that's comparable to my Peng Clan's Inherited Treasure, then at that time... I'm afraid that even I would become unable to kill him."

Emperor Yu and Mystic Emperor's expression suddenly changed.

Right.

The best method of increasing strength was precisely Divine Armors and so on.

"You all have also seen the Cyan Emperor's strength. Back then, he obtained a treasure from the Bewitching God Temple. I believe the name of that treasure was called' Nine Water Elemental Pearl.' It was precisely that treasure that allowed him to reach his current prowess, so much that he's stronger than even me now. As for that Qin Yu, he possessed that Bewitching God Painting. The current Qin Yu's strength was even more powerful than the Cyan Emperor who have explored the Bewitching God Temple back then. On top of that, with his Bewitching God Painting, who knows if he would obtain a treasure comparable to the Nine Water Elemental Pearl." Peng Demon Emperor laughed coldly. "If he were to obtain such a treasure, then we could only have our hands tied and wait for him to capture us and then be killed directly by him!"

Emperor Yu and Mystic Emperor took a glance at each other. They both felt that what the Peng Demon Emperor said was right.

"That Qin Yu... could he have already left for the Bewitching God Temple?" Mystic Emperor Xuan Xi's expression suddenly changed.

"Mystic Emperor, rest assured. His Majesty has already anticipated that and already sent a total of seventy two Demon Emperors from the Bird Clan toward the Bewitching God Temple. They have already set up the 'Eight-Nine Space Sealing Array' on the entrance of the Bewitching God Temple. No matter how strong that Qin Yu is, it's impossible for him to enter into the Bewitching God Temple." Said Ao Ku confidently.

"Seventy two Demon Emperors?" Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor both took a cold breath.

To be able to dispatch so many Emperor level experts at once, it's likely that only the Three Great Emperors of the Demon Realm could do such a thing. The amount of Emperor level experts underneath people like the Cyan Emperor, Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor was only equal to a third or even a fourth of what Peng Demon Emperor possessed.

Afterwards, Emperor Yu took a breath of relief. He smiled and said. "Brother Zong Yan is truly farseeing. With the Eight-Nine Space Sealing Array being set up and the tunnel to the Bewitching God Temple being only that small, the defense of the formation array at that small space would be extremely powerful. Even if it was me, I'd still be unable to break through it."

"Humph, the two main entrances of the Bewitching God Temple, the one that's in our Demon Realm was only large enough to allow five or six people to enter at the same time. With such a small tunnel entrance, I've had seventy two Demon Emperors join hand and form a formation array. The strength of its defense is so powerful that much less a single you, even if three Emperor Yus were to be present, I reckon that they'll still be impossible to break through it." Said the Peng Demon Emperor confidently.

Peng Demon Emperor laughed and didn't say anything.

Mystic Emperor Xuan Xi smiled and said. "Brother Zong Yan's move is truly amazing. There are a total of only two channels leading to the Bewitching God Temple. One is in the Demon Realm whereas the other is located in the Dark Star Realm. It was impossible for the people of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm to be allowed entrance into the Dark Star Realm and use that entrance. And the entrance in the Demon Realm here has been sealed off. Thus, although Qin Yu possesses the Bewitching God Painting, it was all in vain as he cannot get through to the Bewitching God Temple."

Of the two great channels leading to the Bewitching God Temple, the one in the Dark Star Realm was indeed something that people not from the Dark Star Realm can enter.

Even Immortal Emperor Ni Yang who possessed a great relationship with the then Dark Flame Lord and the White Profound Lord of the Dark Star Realm was unable to enter the Bewitching God Temple from their channel. If he were to be able to enter from that side, then how would he be threatened by Emperor Yu and Mystic Emperor?

"However, for I to have deployed this formation array, the matter has also became somewhat troublesome." Said the Peng Demon Emperor with a frown.

"That's right, it's indeed a bit troublesome." Emperor Yu also came to realize that. "This Bewitching God Temple is something that's possessed by the entire Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm. For Brother Zong Yan to take your own initiative and close off this channel, then the Emperor level experts from the Immortal Realm and Demon Realm and even the ones from the Beast Clan's territory and the Dragon Clan's territory would be enraged."

That was inevitable.

A large treasure deposit but the Peng Demon Emperor dispatched people to seal off the doors to the treasure deposit and not allow anyone to go through, then how would the other powers possibly be able to endure it?

"Therefore, I have prepared to invite all the leaders of the different parties of the Immortal Realm, Devil Realm and Demon Realm to come to my Black Crow Star and discuss it." Said the Peng Demon Emperor with a light smile.

"Oh?" Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor were instead a little startled.

Of the two great entrances to the Bewitching God Temple, one of them was sealed off by the seventy two Demon Emperors dispatched by the Peng Demon Emperor. This matter currently does not have a lot of affect yet. Afterall, the blockage had only been set less than a hundred years ago. In a hundred years, how many Emperor level experts would go there? Thus, the complaint level was still not large. However, if the blockage was to last for a hundred thousand or a million years, then it was likely that all the powers would come to find trouble for the Bird Clan.

Immortal Realm's Crescent Moon Bay.

The Dragon Emperor and Ao Wuming were still in the Crescent Moon Bay. As the time before the Cyan Emperor ascend to the Divine Realm was only several months away, the two of them decided to stay here and return after the Cyan Emperor ascended.

The Dragon Emperor, Ao Wuming and the Cyan Emperor were currently drinking tea and chatting. Suddenly, the Dragon Emperor took our his Transmission Spiritual Pearl. He quietly chatted with the other person for a moment. Ao Wuming and the Cyan Emperor both looked to him with puzzlement.

"Imperial Father, who is it?" When the Dragon Emperor placed the Transmission Spiritual Pearl away, Ao Wuming immediately asked.

"It's Zong Yan." Said the Dragon Emperor while smiling.

"Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan? Why is he contacting Imperial Father you? Could it be that this guy is unable to find brother Qin Yu and want our Dragon Clan to help him find and kill brother Qin Yu?" Ao Wuming ridiculed. Because of his relationship with Qin Yu, Ao Wuming found the Peng Demon Emperor very unpleasant to the eye.

"No, that's not it." The Dragon Emperor shook his head and smiled. "It's not regarding this matter but instead about the Bewitching God Temple."

"Bewitching God Temple? I remembered that twenty years ago, a Demon Emperor from our Dragon Clan have reported that the Peng Demon Emperor had dispatched seventy two Demon Emperors and set up the Eight-Nine Space Sealing Array there. We have still not gone to him to inquire about that, yet he came to us to talk about this Bewitching God Temple. Imperial Father, what did he say?" Asked Ao Wuming.

"It's all because of Brother Chi Qing." The Dragon Emperor shot a glance at the Cyan Emperor.

"What does this have to do with me?" Said the Cyan Emperor indifferently. The current Cyan Emperor who had already successfully passed his Divine Tribulation was very relaxed. As he is now a person who was waiting to be ascended to the Divine Realm, he no longer cared much about the affairs of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm.

The Dragon Emperor said. "Zong Yan said that the strength Brother Chi Qing displayed this time was enough to threaten us Three Great Emperors of the Demon Realm. He said that the source of your strength is precisely the Bewitching God Temple's treasured Divine Artifact. Thus, he wanted us Three Great Emperors of the Demon Realm to cooperate and eliminate this hidden danger."

"What the Peng Demon Emperor said is indeed somewhat reasonable. We cannot let such a matter occur again." Said Ao Wuming as he nodded. Suddenly, Ao Wuming came to a realization. He turned to the Cyan Emperor beside him and said. "Senior Cyan Emperor..."

"There's no need for you to say anymore. I am a person who's about to ascend to the Divine Realm, the matters of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm is of no concern to me. There is no need to concern me regarding the matters of you all." Said the Cyan Emperor with an indifferent smile. As a man who's about to ascend, there was not many things that concerned him.

Ao Wuming looked to the Dragon Emperor. "Imperial Father, he said to eliminate this hidden danger, how do he suggest we do that?"

As the future Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan, Ao Wuming also didn't want for another person that could threaten the Three Great Emperors of the Demon Realm to appear.

"Sealing off the channel toward the Bewitching God Temple. As for when to reopen it, it shall be determined by us. If others do not even have the opportunity to enter the Bewitching God Temple, how would they be able to attain a powerful treasure?" The Dragon Emperor lightly smiled and said. "What the Peng Demon Emperor suggested was indeed a bit reasonable."

The Cyan Emperor suddenly said. "Ao Fang, the matter regarding sealing off the Bewitching God Temple cannot be only decided upon by your three powers of the Demon Realm. My Immortal Realm as well as that Devil Realm would also have to be included."

What the Cyan Emperor said instead startled the Dragon Emperor Ao Fang.

"If the Immortal Realm and the Devil Realm were to join hands, then they would be able to match up against your Demon Realm. If you all were to really contest over this matter... then your Demon Realm would also not be able to live in peace." Said the Cyan Emperor with a smile.

The Dragon Emperor also nodded.

Indeed, if the three big shots of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm were to join hands and seal off the Bewitching God Temple, the Immortal Realm and Devil Realm would definitely be discontent with it. It was even possible for war to happen. If the Immortal Realm and the Devil Realm were to join hands, then their strength was not much weaker than that of the Demon Realm. Furthermore, who knows how strong the hidden experts of the Immortal Realm and Devil Realm are?

The Cyan Emperor's suggestion was very effective. The matter regarding the sealing of the entrance to the Bewitching God Temple was rapidly spread to all the big shots of the Immortal Realm and the Devil Realm. The Blood Devil Emperor, Black Devil Emperor, Asura Devil Emperor, Flame Emperor... and all the other big shots all started to proceed toward the Bird Clan's Black Crow Star. However, the Dragon Emperor and them still continued to stay on the Crescent Moon Bay.

That was because the time of the gathering was scheduled to be a month or so after the Cyan Emperor ascends.

Crescent Moon Bay.

A whole bunch of people were gathered by the coast of the Crescent Moon Bay. They were here to see the Cyan Emperor off as he was about to ascend now!

Granny Yin Hua who had mysteriously departed from the Cyan Emperor's Divine Tribulation had also came to the Crescent Moon Bay. Along with her were the Dragon Emperor, Emperor Ni, Emperor Liu and a whole bunch of people. This Emperor Liu was precisely the newly appointed successor to the Cyan Emperor.

"Big brother." Emperor Liu looked to the Cyan Emperor. His eyes were filled with reluctance to part.

The Cyan Emperor smiled and said. "Second brother, I will be ascending to the Divine Realm. Everything here would be under your care now... haha, actually in the past tens of millions of years, it has always been you who had been looking over my areas."

Emperor Liu nodded.

"Carefully train, I will wait for you in the Divine Realm." Said the Cyan Emperor with a smile. Immediately after, he looked to Emperor Ni, the Dragon Emperor and them. "Sister Ni Xue, Ao Fang, you're both now level nine Demon Emperors now. Quickly have your Divine Tribulations, I'll be waiting for you two to reunite with us."

The Dragon Emperor and Emperor Ni both laughed.

They and the Cyan Emperor as well as the then Gold Punishment Lord of the Dark Star Realm were extremely good friends. The Gold Punishment Lord had ascended and now the Cyan Emperor was also going to ascend. Emperor Ni and the Dragon Emperor are now both level nine Demon Emperors, they too would be ascending soon.

The time for the four of them to reunite again in the Divine Realm is not far away.

"Big sister Yin Hua." The Cyan Emperor looked to Granny Yin Hua. At this moment, the Cyan Emperor's expression was very strange. It was as if he was grimacing. "When would you ascend? When would we be able to meet in the Divine Realm?"

Granny Yin Hua smiled. "Little brat. We'll soon be meeting each other in the Divine Realm. Crafty little boy, make sure to continue to train in the Divine Realm. If you don't, then don't blame me when I punish you."

"Yes, yes."

The Cyan Emperor started to laugh. He then looked to his wife, the woman who had stayed with him close to a hundred million years. The final moment before his ascension was precisely the time for them to be with each other.

After a long time...

"My wife, it's time." The Cyan Emperor said softly. He then slowly removed his hands from his wife that's in his bosom.

The Cyan Emperor's wife lightly nodded.

"Everyone, we'll meet again in the Divine Realm." The Cyan Emperor's body started to slowly fly toward the sky without control. At the same time, his body was radiating a misty light. As the misty light disappeared, the Cyan Emperor had also disappeared.

Down below, the Dragon Emperor, Emperor Ni and the rest of them were all looking upwards.

"Wuming, there would also be a day for you to ascend to the Divine Realm. Don't continue to stand there and let your imagination run wild. We currently still have important matters to attend to." The Dragon Emperor said to Ao Wuming. And at this moment, Emperor Liu and said. "Brother Ao Fang, I shall accompany you all."

The Dragon Emperor and them were about to proceed toward the Black Crow Star and attend the gathering of the big shots of the Immortal Realm, Devil Realm and Demon Realm. The meeting this time was regarding the matter of sealing off the Bewitching God Temple.

However, the source of this matter, Qin Yu, was still training in the Jiang Lan's Realm…

Chapter 46 – The Ninth Stage of Stellar Transformation

Inside a palace within the Black Crow Star's Imperial City.

The leaders and big shots from all over the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realms as well as their important subordinates are all gathered here. There are a total of over twenty people. However, some of the people amongst them are only here to observe and cannot do anything.

The ones with the true right of speech was the Dragon Emperor, Peng Demon Emperor, Ox Demon Emperor, the side of the Immortal Realm and the side of the Devil Realm for a total of five different groups.

The side of the Immortal Realm was composed of the Flame Emperor, Emperor Liu, Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor combined. The side of the Devil Realm was composed of the Blood Devil Emperor, Black Devil Emperor, Asura Devil Emperor as well as the two hidden experts combined.

The twenty some people within the palace were separated into five different groups. On the side of the Peng Demon Emperor sat three people: Peng Demon Emperor, Ao Ku and Liu Tu.

"Everyone."

As the person who proposed this matter, the Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan stood up first. As usual, the Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan wore gold from head to toe and his facial expression was as cold as always.

"Everyone are the leaders of the numerous powers within the Immortal Realm, Devil Realm and the Demon Realm. I believe none of you all wish for an unstable factor to appear within your domain. This unstable factor is precisely the Bewitching God Temple. Brother Chi Qing had just ascended. However, I believe everyone knew of brother Chi Qing's strength... if one day, your enemy or subordinate were to obtain a treasure comparable to that of brother Chi Qing's, I believe everyone would be able to imagine the consequences." Said the Peng Demon Emperor indifferently.

A black clothed old man that leaded the side of the Devil Realm said indifferently. "Brother Zong Yan, it's better for you to go to the main topic."

"What brother Mo Luo said is correct." Peng Demon Emperor slightly nodded.

Ever since the Cyan Emperor invited everyone from the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm to come and attend his Divine Tribulation, the Blood Devil Emperor and them of the Devil Realm discovered that there were actually two exceptional experts in the Devil Realm and immediately decided to get to know them. This time around, they had invited these two great experts to come out and help oversee the matter regarding the Devil Realm.

These two men were respectively Mo Luo and Mo Kong. They were both level nine Devil Emperor level experts. As for their true strength, no one knew about it yet.

"I shall get to the main topic then. The reason why I invited everyone today was precisely in hope that everyone would agree to sealing off the entrance of the Bewitching God Temple." The Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan spoke of his aim clearly.

"Seal off the entrance to the Bewitching God Temple?" A voice sounded. The person who spoke was a handsome golden clothed youth. This golden clothed youth was dazzling with grandeur like the sun. "Brother Zong Yan ought to know that there are two great entrances to the Bewitching God Temple. How do we go about sealing off the entrance in the Dark Star Realm?"

Peng Demon Emperor said indifferently. "We merely need to seal off the entrance that's located in the Demon Realm. I do not believe that... there would be anyone in the Immortal Realm, Devil Realm or the Demon Realm that is capable of entering the Bewitching God Temple from the Dark Star Realm's entrance."

Everyone grew silent.

All of these big shots of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm knew of the hostility the Dark Star Realm had toward their respective realms. If someone from the Immortal Realm, Devil Realm or the Demon Realm were to enter the Dark Star Realm, they would be lucky if they haven't been killed by them directly. Allowing them to enter the Bewitching God Temple through the Dark Star Realm's entrance? That was without question.

"Everyone, please speak out whether or not you'll agree to this. I'll voice my opinion first. My Bird Clan has agreed to this matter." Said the Peng Demon Emperor directly.

"My Beast Clan also agree to this." The Ox Demon Emperor also nodded and said.

"My Dragon Clan, agreed." The Dragon Emperor also spoke his standpoint.

All of a sudden, three amongst the five parties have agreed to it. The couple Immortal Emperors from the side of the Immortal Realm were currently discussing over it. As for Mo Luo and Mo Kong, they were not in the slightest anxious. They were currently waiting for the result of the discussion from the Blood Devil Emperor, Black Devil Emperor and the Asura Devil Emperor. The only reason why Mo Luo and Mo Kong agreed to come was because the Blood Devil Emperor, Black Devil Emperor and Asura Devil Emperor had agreed to one of their request. Otherwise, why would they possibly bother to show up?

Flame Emperor, Emperor Yu and Emperor Liu discussed about the matter for a moment before Emperor Liu spoke out as the representative of the side of the Immortal Realm. "My Immortal Realm also agree to this matter. However, after we seal off the Bewitching God Temple, how long would it take before we reopen it? Also, how many people are allowed to enter it every time we reopen it? That is something that I believe we still need to discuss greatly."

"That's of course." The Peng Demon Emperor also had a smile on his face.

Mo Luo received a voice transmission from Asura Devil Emperor. He then nodded and said. "My Devil Realm side also agree to it. Merely, we had the same question as the side of the Immortal Realm. When would the Bewitching God Temple be opened and how many people amongst every side would be allowed entrance every time it's opened? That is something that we still have to negotiate on."

The Peng Demon Emperor, Dragon Emperor and the Great Ape Emperor actually wanted to shut off the Bewitching God Temple forever.

[TL: Yes I know, didn't know Great Ape Emperor was here. Who knew.]

If they were to shut off the Bewitching God Temple for good, then their superiority was something that none of the other powers would be able to catch up to.

However, they also knew that it was impossible to shut off the Bewitching God Temple forever. For one, the Immortal Realm and the Devil Realm would oppose it. Secondly, the other Super Divine Beasts within the Demon Realm, such as the Phoenix, Seven Colored Peacock, Purple Eyed Ox Demon King and the Fire Qilin would all oppose to it. Furthermore, the other clans within the Demon Realm would also be in opposition to it. They would not give up the opportunity to allow themselves to strengthen and expand.

"Well then, since everyone has agreed to it, then the matter of sealing the Bewitching God Temple is thus settled. Now, we shall discuss how many years between each time the Bewitching God Temple opens and how many people are allowed to enter every time." Said the Peng Demon Emperor indifferently.

Soon after, all the major powers started to discuss.

From the viewpoint of the Peng Demon Emperor and the Dragon Emperor, the longer the blockage the better, the lesser the amount of people that were allowed in the better. However, the Immortal Realm, the Devil Realm and even the Ox Demon Emperor were not really in favor of that.

Three entire days.

After using all kinds of methods, the five sides finally agreed to a proposal that all five sides could barely accept.

"Good, since everyone has agreed to it, then from today on, us five sides must always be in accordance to this agreement. If any side were to violate the plan, the other four sides shall join hand and kill them." Said the Peng Demon Emperor coldly.

The Dragon Emperor and them nodded.

This agreement that is decided upon by the leaders of the five different sides, this agreement that would last for countless years, was thus determined like so.

The details of the agreement: the Demon Realm's entrance to the Bewitching God Temple shall be sealed. In ordinary times, no one was allowed to enter it. Then every ten thousand years, the entrance to the Bewitching God Temple shall be opened once. And upon opening, each of the five sides would be allowed one person to enter it.

The side of the Immortal Realm and the Devil Realm possessed numerous powers and were very chaotic. Thus, the person who is to be allowed to enter shall be determined by the powers within the Immortal Realm and the Devil Realm.

Opening once every ten thousand years and all five sides could only submit a single person to enter; it appeared to be very few. However, this was the result that was obtained after a lot of talks by the Immortal Realm and Devil Realm.

According to what the Peng Demon Emperor had originally proposed at the beginning, he wanted the Bewitching God Temple to be opened once in every ten million years!

The proposal by the Peng Demon Emperor had shocked everyone. It was clear that he did not wish for the Immortal Realm or the Devil Realm to obtain any treasure. Finally, after continuous discussions, the time was reduced to ten thousand years.

In actuality, the Peng Demon Emperor also knew that the time that he proposed at the beginning was not something that could happen. Merely, the Peng Demon Emperor knew that the longer the time he proposed, the more leeway there would be in the discussions.

"The Bewitching God Temple shall be opened once every ten thousand years. Of our fives sides, we are only allowed one person per side to enter into the Bewitching God Temple every time it opened. As this matter has been determined, we shall now discuss about the method of sealing off the entrance to the Bewitching God Temple." The Peng Demon Emperor brought about a new subject.

The Dragon Emperor smiled and said. "Isn't the Eight-Nine Space Sealing Array very good for the job? I do not believe that there would be anyone that's capable of breaking through it."

"That's right, just have those seventy two Demon Emperors continue their guard." The Ox Demon Emperor also said while laughing.

The Peng Demon Emperor's brows creased. They wanted to have his seventy two Demon Emperor's waste their time there till the end of time? The scheme from the other four sides was truly too much.

The Peng Demon Emperor suddenly smiled and said. "If those seventy two Demon Emperors were to continue to arrange the Eight-Nine Space Sealing Array, then where would they themselves be at? If they were to stay outside of the entrance, I fear that they might be killed. If the people setting up the Eight-Nine Space Sealing Array were to die, then the formation array would naturally be broken. Thus, the seventy two Demon Emperors could only stay inside the entrance."

"What you said is reasonable. It is indeed not safe for them to stay outside the entrance." Emperor Yu nodded and said.

"Since you all wanted my men to guard the Bewitching God Temple's entrance the entire time, I too would not have any complaint regarding that. We can just let them continue to guard the entrance." The Peng Demon Emperor suddenly said while smiling.

The Dragon Emperor, Ox Demon Emperor, Blood Devil Emperor, Black Devil Emperor and them all came to a realization.

To be able to stay inside the entrance meant that they could enter into the Bewitching God Temple and gather Divine Artifacts. If the seventy two Demon Emperors of the Bird Clan were to continue to stay there the entire time, who knows how many Divine Artifacts they'll be able to obtain.

"That won't do." Said the Ox Demon Emperor as he laughed. "For one, we cannot let you suffer such a loss. Secondly, this would cause embezzlement to be very easy to occur."

"That's right." The Dragon Emperor nodded and said. "How about this, us five sides would all dispatch some Emperor level experts and set up the Eight-Nine Space Sealing Array together. In that case, the Emperor level experts from all five sides could monitor each other and thus prevent the matter of embezzlement from occurring."

The Blood Devil Emperor laughed grimly and said. "That's hard to say. If they were to come into a mutual agreement, they could still embezzle. Thus, we must strictly order that whoever it is that were to enter the Bewitching God Temple and seek for Divine Artifacts while they're on guard duty would be chased and killed by all three realms."

"Right." Peng Demon Emperor also nodded.

Following, this suggestion received the approval from all the other parties.

"Eh, can the power of the Emperor level experts we dispatched be different? There's Immortal Elemental Energy, Devil Elemental Energy and Demon Elemental Energy. If they were to blend with one another, would it cause a rejection and cause the formation array to collapse?" Emperor Liu said in puzzlement.

Peng Demon Emperor laughed and said. "Brother Liu is not familiar with the Eight-Nine Space Sealing Array. This Eight-Nine Space Sealing Array is actually stronger the more mixed the energy of the people setting up the formation array are."

"Oh, it's that peculiar?" The Black Devil Emperor of the Devil Realm was also startled.

"That's precisely the case. You all would come to know it when we display it later." The Peng Demon Emperor said confidently. This Eight-Nine Space Sealing Array is a great formation array of the Bird Clan, thus he was naturally very familiar with it.

Peng Demon Emperor continued. "Now we shall discuss about how many people are we each sending out. Seventy two is a number that's a bit hard to distribute amongst the five sides."

After another round of discussions.

The final result of the discussion: the Bird Clan, Dragon Clan and the Beast Clan would each dispatch fourteen Demon Emperors. As for the Immortal Realm and Devil Realm, they would each dispatch fifteen Emperor level experts. This amount to a total of seventy two Emperor level experts.

Afterall, if one were to talk about the Immortal Realm or the Devil Realm as a whole, they are a respectively a bit stronger than the Dragon Clan or the Bird Clan.

The entrance would be opened once every ten thousand years. The amount of time it would stay open is a single year. If one were to not come out within a single year's time, then they would be chased and killed by all five sides.

On the year the Immortal Realm, Devil Realm and Demon Realm set up the agreement regarding the Bewitching God Temple, each of the five sides have all dispatched a single person to inspect the outside region of the Bewitching God Temple. The next time the Bewitching God Temple reopens was to be ten thousand years after.

A year later.

The five people who were lucky enough to be dispatched to search the outside regions of the Bewitching God Temple have all returned. These five people were: Ao Ku of the Bird Clan, Ao Lan of the Dragon Clan, the Ox Demon Emperor himself of the Beasts Clan, Mo Luo of the Devil Realm and Emperor Liu of the Immortal Realm.

These five people have power on par with each other.

On a planet closest to the Bewitching God Temple.

At this moment, the Peng Demon Emperor, Dragon Emperor and the rest were here.

"The outside regions of the Bewitching God Temple was truly weird. To be regulated to leave within a year's time, I too could only extend my best capabilities to scour the outside regions of the Bewitching God Temple. In this single year... my luck was pretty good. I managed to obtain a single Low Quality Divine Artifact." Said the Ox Demon Emperor carefreely.

The Dragon Emperor laughed and said. "You've had it pretty good. Of the five that went in this time, only you managed to obtain a Divine Artifact. The rest of them didn't obtain anything."

Divine Artifacts were very hard to obtain.

Back when the Bewitching God Temple wasn't sealed, there would frequently be Emperor level experts entering it to try their luck. However, trying to test their luck our in the outside regions of the Bewitching God Temple and to the best of the abilities, only one amongst a hundred Emperor level experts would be able to obtain a Divine Artifact.

After the matter regarding the sealing of the Bewitching God Temple had finished, the entire Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm had returned to the dullness of before. Occassionaly, a new person would become famous and their name widespread. However, they are incomparable to Qin Yu and his brothers.

In merely a couple hundred years, Qin Yu and Hou Fei's strength were comparable to that of level nine Immortal Emperors whereas Hei Yu's approaches that of a level eight Immortal Emperor.

Qin Yu and his brothers had grown equally as famous as the Hidden Emperor and his two brothers, people of the peak of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm. However, for such a miracle-like thing to happen again was extremely hard.

Inside the Jiang Lan's Realm.

Qin Yu and his brothers were currently together. Qin Yu was watching Hou Fei and Hei Yu sparring.

"Bang!" A spear swept across. As if it was penetrating through space, it suddenly appeared in front of Hou Fei. Hou Fei who was startled by its appearance was forcefully knock onto the ground by it. The ground had cracked open.

Qin Yu clapped his hands and laughed. "Good. Fei Fei, well wasn't that karma? See how you were always bully Xiao Hei in the past?"

"Mixed Hair Bird is truly a freak." Hou Fei stood up aggrievedly. "While he's fighting against me, he actually learned my stick technique. After changing it and improving it a bit, he's using my stick technique as a spear technique."

Stick, spear, the difference between the two wasn't great. One could use a spear to display the techniques of a stick.

"You can't say it like that. For Xiao Hei to be able to beat you, it's not merely because of the spear technique and stick technique. What's most important was that his speed is faster than yours and his movement more agile. Furthermore... his defense is stronger than yours. He does not have to care about his body's defense like you do. All he needed to do is attack and didn't have to defend at all. Thus, you'll naturally lose to him." Said Qin Yu while smiling.

Hou Fei humped lowly a couple times and didn't say anything.

Hei Yu continued to stand there coldly. He held the Cloud Piercing Spear with a single hand and said coldly. "Monkey, you've trampled upon me for several hundred years, and today, I've only managed to smack you with a single spear technique; this debt of mine has yet to be paid completely."

Hou Fei had a blank face.

Qin Yu immediately started to laugh. He felt that his two brothers were truly amusing.

"Mn?" Qin Yu suddenly had a delightful expression on his face. "It's been several hundred years now. After all these years, I've finally managed to absorb enough of my body's energy. The energy from the flour paste space could finally enter into the ninth stage of the Stellar Transformation."

Chapter 47 – Divine Flame

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Hei Yu asked in puzzlement. He had noticed that Qin Yu had a somewhat strange expression on his face. Hou Fei also looked over... he too was astonished and puzzled.

Qin Yu's excited and joyous expression was something that was unable to be concealed.

Qin Yu looked to his two brothers and said. "Fei Fei, Xiao Hei, the two of you knew that I've been stuck on the eighth stage of the Stellar Transformation the entire time right? And now, I'm finally able to enter into the ninth stage."

"Really?" Said Hou Fei and Hei Yu.

Qin Yu nodded repeatedly. He said excitedly. "That's right, I'm going to train right away. Mn, it'll be fine for me to train here. While I train, it would be good if you two were to not disturb me. I've already reached the boundary between the two stages, I believe that I'll soon be able to reach the ninth stage of the Stellar Transformation."

Qin Yu was unable to care for anything else and immediately sat down cross-legged on the meadow. Afterwards, with an intention, he separated the area three meters around him from the rest of the world. Qin Yu was unparalleled in the Jiang Lan's Realm. Even if the Cyan Emperor were to come here, he would also become unable to attack Qin Yu.

"Monkey, we'll just wait by the side." Hei Yu also sat down cross-legged and quietly watched Qin Yu from afar. Hou Fei also nodded and sat down cross-legged. Likewise, he too was looking at his big brother.

Qin Yu appeared to be very tranquil.

Although his appearance was extremely tranquil, his awareness had long since entered into his dantian's Black Hole and through the Black Hole Channel and into the somewhat small 'Stellar Space' in the flour paste space that belonged to him.

The flour paste space was still filled with an endless amount of 'flour paste.' However, Qin Yu was able to clearly sense the aged and ancient aura that was pervading from the flour paste space.

"The Stellar Space had became more than ten times larger compared to when I was last here." Qin Yu was inspecting the Stellar Space from up to down.

The more the Stellar Space absorbed the flour paste energy from the outside, the bigger it would naturally become. And now... the Stellar Space possessed a spherical shape with a diameter of nearly a kilometer.

And within this enormous space with a diameter of nearly a kilometer was countless amount of revolving golden specks. The countless amount of golden specks had formed a 'nebula.'

"Every part of my energy had absorbed the 'flour paste' energy and successfully transformed. Now, it's time to proceed onto the next step." For some unknown reason, Qin Yu was filled with confidence.

Following the control of Qin Yu's intention, the countless amount of golden specks started to rotate faster.

"Rumble~~~"

The entire Stellar Space started to tremble. It was even giving off a loud noise. It was as if the space was about to collapse. That countless amount of golden specks were rotating with a frightening speed. At the same time, the nebula started to slowly shrink in size.

"This is the time!"

Following Qin Yu's control with his intention, the speed at which the nebula decreases in size suddenly increased by ten thousand folds!

"Pop~~" As if there was a leak in the core of the nebula, all of the rotating golden specks began to gather toward the center of the nebula. It appeared to be in merely a blink of an eye but also appeared to be extremely long and endless.

All of the golden specks had disappeared.

Only that golden sphere remained in the Stellar Space. This golden sphere was extremely small. Observing with Qin Yu's consciousness, it was only as large as a fist. There was only a fist sized golden sphere in the entire Stellar Space with a diameter of a kilometer. When contrasting the two, it appeared even smaller.

That golden sphere was currently spinning around and around. Around the golden sphere were burning black flames.

Black colored flames!

"Black colored flames, Divine Flame!" Qin Yu was unable to refrain his pleasant surprise. It was exactly as he had anticipated. Back then when he had reached the Dark Star Realm, the Stellar True Flame was the Blue Heavenly Flame. When he reached the Black Hole Stage, the Stellar True Flame was the Extremely Silent Heavenly Flame. And now, the Stellar True Flame was the black colored Divine Flame!

"According to what Song Shi had said, the true flame of an Emperor level Phoenix was also black colored Divine Flame. Phoenix was able to casually use a large amount of Extremely Silent Heavenly Flame in attacking others; would I be able to do that too?" Qin Yu questioned himself.

Unfortunately, Qin Yu wasn't proficient in the usage of flames.

Back then, he was only able to use flames and attack others through the usage of the Black Flame Lord's Ring. And the flames that the Black Flame Lord's Ring was merely the Blue Colored Heavenly Flames. As for the Blue Colored Heavenly Flames, they were not at all threatening to top quality experts like Emperor Yu.

"Seems like I must also learn about how to use flames sometime in the future." Qin Yu understood well in his heart that as his Stellar True Flame was the Divine Flame, then he should logically be able to employ a large amount of Extremely Silent Heavenly Flames in his attacks.

That golden sphere was still spinning unceasingly.

"Whirl whirl~~~" A very clear sound was heard. The flour paste energy from all over the flour paste space had turned into strip-like shapes and were permeating into the Stellar Space and gathering toward the golden sphere. The golden sphere was easily absorbing the incoming energies.

Qin Yu looked over and saw millions of gray colored strips gathering toward the golden sphere unceasingly.

"Eh, could it be that I do not need Elemental Spirit Energy now?" Qin Yu tried to absorb Elemental Spirit Energy from the outside world however, his golden sphere did not absorb any of the extremely pure Elemental Spirit Energy.

Qin Yu immediately realized.

It would appear that after reaching the ninth stage, if he wants the golden sphere to transform, he could only do so through absorbing the energy within the 'flour paste space.'

With an intention, Qin Yu withdrew his awareness from the Stellar Space.

After opening his eyes, Qin Yu extended his index finger. A golden finger ray was emitting back and forth from his index finger. Qin Yu was sensing the power of this golden finger ray. "It would appear that it's not really powerful. It's not as powerful as my current body's strength."

"However, it's not too bad. It's about the same as what I had predicted. From the Late Stage Black Hole Realm to the early stage of the ninth stage, the power of the energy had increased by about ten times." Qin Yu was still very satisfied with the amount of increase in the power.

"What should I call the ninth stage?" Qin Yu thought about it for a moment.

Suddenly, Qin Yu remembered the information about the science and technology civilization that was left by his master Lei Wei. He remembered the speculation they had toward the formation of the cosmos — that the cosmos was formed through a singular point.

"Singular point? In that case... I shall temporarily name this as the 'origin'. The ninth stage of the Stellar Transformation... shall be the Origin Realm." Qin Yu had decided in his heart. He didn't really like the sounding of 'singular point' and thus did not use it.

The current Qin Yu was merely at the early stage Origin Realm and his Origin Energy only possessed the attack power of a level five or six Immortal Emperor. The assistance it provides to Qin Yu is not great. Only after he reach the mid stage Origin Realm would it provide a large amount of assistance to him.

"Since I've reached the ninth stage, it essentially means that when conditions are right, success will follow naturally for the future cultivation. Although the Stellar Transformation possesses immense potential, but what truly raises my attack power now is the Nine Steps Dark Gold Body martial technique." Qin Yu understood in his heart.

He reckoned that after a longer period of time had passed or after he ascended to the Divine Realm, what he would they rely the most on would still be the Stellar Transformation.

With an intention, Qin Yu removed the space barrier around him.

"Big brother, how was it?" Hou Fei and Hei Yu asked almost simultaneously.

Qin Yu stood up, took a stretch, smiled and said. "It's not bad. However, as I've only just stepped into the ninth stage, its strength is currently inferior to that of the Nine Steps Dark Gold Body. For now, I still have to train the Nine Steps Dark Gold Body."

Hou Fei and Hei Yu both nodded.

This was exactly as they had anticipated. The later stage Black Hole Realm possessed merely the strength of a level three Immortal Emperor. Even if Qin Yu managed to break through, it was still impossible for the Stellar Transformation's energy to soar to that of a level eight or nine Immortal Emperor at once.

"Big brother, how far along are you with the Nine Steps Dark Gold Body?" Hou Fei asked.

"I've reached the later stage of the seventh stage. The time before I reach a breakthrough is very close." Said Qin Yu while smiling. The strength of the seventh stage was only comparable to Emperor Yu's strength. If he were to reach the eighth stage, then adding on the recovery power of the Life Elemental Energy, it was completely possible for him to defeat Emperor Yu.

Qin Yu suddenly saw a person. It was Ye Qu. He was standing not far away and looking at Qin Yu.

"You've reached the later stage of the seventh stage?" Ye Qu once again asked Qin Yu.

Qin Yu nodded. He knew that... Ye Qu was about to become depressed again.

Ye Qu held up his fists, he stared at Qin Yu with his tiger eyes. "How many years have I cultivated? Through all those exhausting labor, I've managed to break through the seventh stage and reach the eighth stage. And you, you've only reach the seventh stage several hundred years ago, less than a thousand year's worth of time. Are you to say that you're going to break through the seventh stage and reach the eighth stage in less than a thousand years?"

"Ye Qu, do not despair too much. To be honest, your cultivation speed is actually pretty fast. It's merely a trace bit slower than mine." Said Qin Yu with deadly earnest.

"You..." Ye Qu grew speechless.

However, Hou Fei and Hei Yu both started to laugh.

"You little scoundrel bastard, I'm done, I've had enough." Said Ye Qu grudgingly. As for Qin Yu, he could only smile.

Ever since the Peng Demon Emperor and them saw Qin Yu and his brothers again on the Ridge Peak Star, it had already been a hundred years without any news regarding the three brothers. As the time passed, Peng Demon Emperor, Emperor Yu and them grew more and more anxious.

The longer the time, the more frightening Qin Yu and his brothers would become.

In a certain palace in the Black Crow Star's Imperial Palace. The Peng Demon Emperor was currently chatting and drinking with Emperor Yu.

"Back when Qin Yu had only stepped foot on the territory of the Bird Clan, I tried to kill Qin Yu but was obstructed by the Dragon Emperor. The Qin Yu from back then was without any power to defend himself against me. A hundred years later, when Qin Yu showed himself again he was already powerful enough to be able to kill Bai Feng. His strength was around the level of level eight Immortal Emperor."

"And after another hundred years, when Qin Yu appeared once again, his strength was already equally matched with mine. He had attained the strength of a level nine Immortal Emperor." Emperor Yu had a slightly helpless expression. "And now, another hundred years have passed. The current Qin Yu, his strength... might've already surpassed mine."

Peng Demon Emperor who sat to the side lightly laughed and said. "Brother Feng Yu, the further down the road, the harder it is to increase one's strength. While he was able to increase his attack power from that of a level eight Immortal Emperor to that of a level nine Immortal Emperor in a hundred years, but in this hundred years, I reckon there would not be a major increase in strength. The Bewitching God Temple had also been sealed off by us, so it was impossible for him to enter into the Bewitching God Temple. I believe that there shouldn't be anything unexpected."

"All these years, we've been unable to find Qin Yu and his brothers. Could it be that Qin Yu and his brothers had been in the Qingyu Immortal Mansion the entire time?" Emperor Yu shook his head and said helplessly.

Peng Demon Emperor had also grown silent.

Where exactly had they hidden to?

Suddenly, Emperor Yu raised his head. His eyes shined. "Brother Zong Yan, I had discovered that we had a gap in the method that we had been using to chase and kill Qin Yu... I think, it's extremely possible for us to be able to kill Qin Yu this time!"
