Stellar Transformations

by I Eat Tomatoes

  In a trance, Qin Yu sees that scene of the past again.

  ……

  “Ha-ha ~~~” Wu Xing laughs out loud like crazy and attacks Qin De wantonly. Qin De, who has already been seriously injured, now keeps resisting, but he spits out a mouthful of blood after every move executed by Wu Xing. This way … blood comes out of his mouth unceasingly.

  Fengyuzi is very anxious so he attacks more ferociously using his flying sword, wanting to go to save Qin De and run away. However, relying on his profound energy, Wu De forcibly holds Fengyuzi down.

  Qin De suddenly lets out a loud shout. He has finally had the most violent collision with Wu Xing.

  Pu ~~

  Blood is scattered all over the air …

  Qin De slowly falls down powerlessly.

  “Die!” Wu Xing says softly.

  A red beam of light pierces through the vast sky, thrusting straight at Qin De’s body.

  Wu Xing gives a smile, expecting Qin De to get impaled.

  “No, father!”

  “Catch it!” Qin Yu screams violently in his heart. He accelerates to his top speed in an unprecedented manner and catches Wu Xing’s short knife almost miraculously.

  Wu Xing is dumbfounded.

  The other people also watch this scene in disbelief.

  “Die.” Wu Xing laughs cruelly and attacks again, wanting to pierce through Qin Yu’s chest and Qin De’s chest. When the flying sword has gone through Qin Yu’s chest, Wu Xing laughs because he knows that the sword has penetrated Qin Yu’s heart.

  When someone has their heart penetrated, they will die for sure.

  “Father …” Seeing his father, Qin Yu unexpectedly gains a limitless power.

  “Let’s die together!”

  He suddenly shouts furiously, turns around and thrusts his 2 hands at Wu Xing’s chest like sharp claws. However, at this moment -- Wu Xing seems to transcend his own level. He backs off several meters directly as if he has received assistance from gods, avoiding this attack by Qin Yu.

  “Want to make me die with you? Dream on.”

  Wu Xing laughs coldly. After piercing through Qin Yu’s heart, that flying sword proceeds to shoot at Qin De.

  “No …” Qin Yu feels an extreme pain in his heart and falls into a total trance.

  Poof!

  The flying sword has penetrated Qin De’s heart.

  “Father.” The mask on Qin Yu’s face shatters. He watches this scene in disbelief and denial.

  Qin De, whose heart has been pierced through, also looks at Qin Yu in disbelief: “You’re … Yu’er?” But the look in his eyes gradually dims at once.

  ……

  “No!!!”

  Qin Yu yells.

  “Big brother Qin Yu, big brother Qin Yu.” Holding his hand, Li’er calls him 2 or 3 times. However, now he is already unable to hear her voice as he has gone totally crazy. He immediately flings her hand off and runs south straight, his eyes very red.

  But another individual became obsessed before Qin Yu -- Azure Dragon.

  In terms of time, it can be said that Azure Dragon crumbled earlier than Qin Yu by just a couple of breaths.

  “Big brother Qin Yu is too passionate and his feelings even come from the bottom of his heart. This is the reason why he has a determined disposition. But … this also leaves a crack in his mind. Once he becomes obsessed because of kinship, it will be harder for him to wake up.” Li’er mutters in a low voice.

  Seeing Qin Yu running south, Li’er follows him by running south too.

  At the moment, still standing in the distance are Reverend Yan Xu, Yi Da, the 3 yellow-clad men, the black-haired old man, and the 7 loose immortals and loose devils. Reverend Yan Xu, Yi Da and the 3 yellow-clad men are under such great pressures that their heads are full of sweat.

  However, the black-haired old man and the 7 loose immortals and loose devils are almost in the same state under the influence of the flute music in this Hallucinatory Magic Land.

  Even though someone with a high mental level is in general extremely tough-minded, this is not an absolute at all. For example, Yan Mo is only at the middle Kongming stage but his mind is exceptionally tough. This black-haired old man is most probably the same as him.

  ……

  Amid the boundless clouds,

  Qin Yu is rushing south straight.

  “Wu Xing, die! Wu Xing, die!”

  He is shouting furiously while attacking Wu Xing in front of him nonstop. Only somehow Wu Xing can always move back several tens meters with utter ease in impossible situations. Every time Qin Yu is about to kill Wu Xing, Wu Xing simply retreats.

  “Ha-ha, Qin Yu, come, come, come kill me.” Wu Xing laughs out loud like crazy.

  Those loud laughs enrage Qin Yu even more.

  Revenge, taking revenge for his father, as soon as Qin Yu thinks about how his father was pierced through the heart and died, he goes insane.

  Suddenly --

  Qin Yu’s whole body makes a sway. He feels as if a basin of cold water has been poured on his head in a harsh winter day. His entire body gives a start. At this moment, the Meteoric Tear in his chest shakes for a while then immediately sends out a cold stream which runs straight up Qin Yu’s head.

  The silver white cold stream goes straight into his head. His spiritual energy simply does not dare to approach it. When the silver white cold stream permeates into his soul disc, the essence of the soul seems to transform.

  The flashing electric sparks around the soul become even more powerful and the soul becomes even more condensed.

  “What am I doing?”

  Qin Yu has woken up completely.

  Seeing the vast sea of white clouds around him, he immediately remembers what happened just now.

  “So dangerous.” His back breaks into a cold sweat.

  “This Hallucinatory Magic Land can even trick my mind completely. My father isn’t dead and Wu Xing died long ago, but I was lured into believing all the hallucinations.” His heart is full of shock.

  When Qin Yu is in a state of shock, the flute music keeps playing.

  In the beginning, the music was invisible but now it comes with pale red ripples which are extremely light in color, almost impossible to see. Various such ripples keep expanding north from the south.

  Qin Yu’s heart begins to shake again.

  Because his soul underwent a transformation moments ago, this time he has a strong resistance to the music. But, despite that, how can the music which frightens the loose immortals and loose devils so much be so easy to deal with?

  Last time Qin Yu became obsessed, he woke up thanks to the Meteoric Tear. However, now it looks like … he is very likely to become obsessed again.

  If he becomes obsessed again, will the Meteoric Tear still produce its miraculous effects?

  Ting ~~~

  Familiar sounds rise.

  “Zither music!” Qin Yu’s eyes flash with a note of happiness. He turns around to take a look and sees that Li’er is sitting with legs crossed on the ground several meters behind him. There is a zither on her lap. She is quietly playing the zither.

  Various green ripples expand outwards with Li’er being at their center.

  The red ripples of the flute music and the green ripples vanish together as if they are impeccable enemies.

  Li’er’s power level is not high so the green ripples only spread out to a radius of 10 m before they are canceled out by the red ripples. However, the area within 10 m of her is the safest place in the entire Hallucinatory Magic Land.

  At the moment, Qin Yu is within this area.

  “Li’er, it’s you?” He is delighted.

  Li’er plucks at the strings then immediately looks up at him with a brilliant smile: “Just now someone lost a lot of face and even sniveled.”

  Qin Yu is startled.

  Perhaps when he became obsessed moments ago, it was only because he saw his father’s death that he shed tears.

  “Go with me, big brother Qin Yu. There are some
fantastic things in the south.”

  Li’er stands up and gently plucks the zither’s strings once. A green ripple immediately shoots out in all directions. Its range has decreased to 5 m. Qin Yu goes beside her without delay. The 2 of them thus run south extremely fast. Unlike Jiao Jiu and Situ Xue, Qin Yu and Li’er are going south consciously.

  If there were someone several tens meters away from Li’er, he would discover that … he simply cannot hear Li’er’s music.

  Only within 5 meters of her is the zither music audible. This is indeed very strange.

  “Big brother Qin Yu, look in front of you.” Li’er suddenly says.

  Qin Yu raises his head to look forwards.

  “Kill! Kill! Xiumoist, die!” Furious shouts are heard. Yan Mo’s dragon claw pierces into Situ Xue’s dantian directly. Afterwards, he catches her yuanying and smashes it with a fierce grab … That violent explosion even damages Yan Mo’s body, causing his blood to seep out.

  Yan Mo, however, does not mind this at all.

  “Kill! Kill!” Now his eyes are blood-red.

  “Yan Mo, he …” Qin Yu is shocked. Li’er says with a nod: “Yan Mo killed people and resisted the music at the same time. Such a distraction, oh well … he’s going to become totally obsessed soon.”

  However, at this moment, Azure Dragon Yan Lang runs south while roaring furiously.

  Yan Mo takes a look at Azure Dragon with his blood-red eyes: “Kill, kill …” He unexpectedly rushes towards Azure Dragon.

  Chapter 5: Elemental Holy Energy

  With very red eyes, Azure Dragon is running south straight while roaring. His 2 hands keep attacking an imaginary enemy nonstop. At the moment, Azure Dragon is paying absolutely no attention to anything else. He simple does not know that Yan Mo is charging at him either.

  Yan Mo is gasping for breath. His eyes occasionally flash with a red light.

  Even now, Yan Mo has not been lured into running south by the flute music. This is because he has not become totally obsessed. There is still a tinge of clarity in him. If in the beginning he had not divided his concentration to go and kill Jiao Jiu, perhaps now the signs of him becoming obsessed would be even a bit lighter.

  However, Yan Mo even killed Jiao Jiu while hearing the flute music. Because there was killing intent in his heart, naturally it was even harder for him to withstand the hallucinations caused by the music. As soon as Jiao Jiu died, Yan Mo became even more murderous. Therefore, when he saw Situ Xue, he got into action and killed her.

  Now, seeing Azure Dragon, he also wants to go and kill him!

  “No good, Azure Dragon has become totally obsessed. He simply doesn’t notice Yan Mo wanting to kill him.” Qin Yu says in shock.

  Li’er says with a nod: “Now Yan Mo is only a step away from becoming totally obsessed. Under such conditions … if he goes on to Azure Dragon, he’ll definitely sink deeper. Maybe he’ll become totally obsessed immediately.”

  “What are you thinking, big brother Qin Yu? Could it be you want to get into action?” Li’er looks at Qin Yu and says with a faint smile.

  Actually, Qin Yu is in a moral dilemma at the moment.

  To save or not to save?

  In fact, even if he tries to save Azure Dragon, he will not have enough power to fight Yan Mo, who is crazy at the moment.

  “Forget it, big brother Qin Yu. If Yan Mo notices you getting into action, maybe his murderousness will greatly intensify and he’ll immediately turn around to come kill you … As for Azure Dragon, we want to help him, but our abilities don’t permit.” Li’er sighs with a shake of her head.

  Qin Yu turns around to look at her and suddenly says: “Li’er, I’ve always felt that you seem to be detached from everything in this world. Apparently nothing can affect you.”

  “Really?” Li’er is startled.

  “Ah ~~~~~” A yell rises.

  Qin Yu and Li’er turn their heads to take a look. They see Yan Mo roaring with all his might while holding his head and Azure Dragon still running south. The astonishing thing is … Yan Mo unexpectedly has not killed Azure Dragon.

  “No, no …”

  Yan Mo is gasping for breath unceasingly. Sweat is oozing out of his entire body. The violent aura around him is extremely terrifying.

  “Oh.” Li’er’s eyes shine brilliantly. “Big brother Qin Yu, this Yan Mo is unexpectedly more resolute than I imagined. At the last moment, he was able to stop himself from getting into action. Also, it seems he’s even trying to resist the temptation of the flute music?”

  While talking, Li’er gently plucks the zither’s strings. The green ripples cancel out all of the red ripples within several meters of her.

  Qin Yu notices this too.

  Suddenly --

  Yan Mo’s arms thicken and his fists are clenched to the utmost.

  He growls in a low voice and bombards the ground nonstop using his fists as if they are big hammers, sending various deep noises through the ground.

  Along with the noises of the fists smashing furiously on the ground, there are also Yan Mo’s furious growls.

  As he bombards the ground again and again, his red eyes flash with hint after hint of fierceness. This is a terrifying kind of look seen after someone has had an outburst in a life-and-death situation. At the moment Yan Mo is totally in that kind of state. In just a while --

  With a dragon roar, Yan Mo suddenly stands up.

  Killing intent!

  Towering killing intent!

  At the moment, Yan Mo is like a general fighting on the battlefield, sweeping his dragon eyes around. Right afterwards, he rushes straight in the direction of Azure Dragon. Obviously he remembers clearly Azure Dragon’s running path. In a state of obsession, to run is only to take quick steps unconsciously.

  But Yan Mo is flying like a rainbow at a speed nobody knows how much faster than Azure Dragon’s.

  “What does Yan Mo want to do?” Qin Yu says doubtfully.

  “We’ll know if we keep up with him, right?” Li’er says smilingly. Afterwards, the 2 of them follow Azure Dragon by flying south extremely fast.

  Azure Dragon is taking steps on the ground so he is much slower than Yan Mo, who is flying through the air. In just a while, Yan Mo catches up with him. Qin Yu and Li’er see Yan Mo charge extremely fast at Azure Dragon then wave his arm to attack Azure Dragon directly.

  “Still want to kill?” Qin Yu is shocked.

  Following an extremely heavy hit, Azure Dragon’s entire body is sent flying backwards. The part of his clothes on his chest is shaken to pieces completely.

  “No.” Li’er says with a shake of her head. “Yan Mo doesn’t want to kill Azure Dragon at all. Instead, he’s stopping Azure Dragon from running south. Obviously he has figured out that there’s definitely something very dangerous in the south. Therefore he’s trying to stop Azure Dragon. The reason he wants to do so may have something to do with the fact that both of them belong to the dragon clan.”

  After listening to her explanation, Qin Yu looks at Azure Dragon and Yan Mo in this way.

  “Kill, kill …” Azure Dragon growls and unexpectedly picks himself up to run south again.

  Yan Mo’s body is also shaking. He attacks Azure Dragon once more while resisting the temptation of the flute music.

  Clack!

  This time, that noise of bones getting shattered is so clear in the middle of the heavy hit. Azure Dragon’s whole body falls down.

  “The right leg has been broken.” Qin Yu looks at Yan Mo and says in praise of him. “Yan Mo is really smart. Instead of blocking Azure Dragon again and again, it’s better to break his leg immediately. With just one leg, Azure Dragon’s running speed will definitely be very slow.”

  In a state of obsession, one’s intelligence is like that of a ferobeast and running is simply an unconscious action.

  Therefore, Azure Dragon tries to pick himself up again while growling. But he fails.

  A growl is heard. Azure Dragon smacks his hands on the ground. His entire bod
y then flies up. When it has fallen down, Azure Dragon stands only on his left leg. After a short while of slight stupefaction, he suddenly lies prone on the ground then crawls south straight using his 2 hands without hesitation.

  At the moment, Yan Mo’s eyes are completely closed. His whole forehead is covered in beads of sweat.
