Chapter 378 - Book 12
Edited by: Phillip and Me!!
The third layer space of the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas was nearly boundless. As the master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas, Qin Yu naturally immediately knew about all of the information regarding the entire third layer space of the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas. There are a total of seven Demon Emperors in the third layer space of the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas.
“It’s actually these three people!” Qin Yu was immensely shocked.
At the moment when he opened the third layer of the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas, the four Demon Emperors who addressed him as ‘master’ respectfully weren’t that powerful. The weakest one amongst them was a level one Demon Emperor. The strongest was also merely a level five Demon Emperor.
These four Demon Emperors would not bring about much assistance to Qin Yu. The true attraction were the other three great Demon Emperors.
These three Demon Emperors were very powerful.
They were so powerful that even Qin Yu’s heart trembled.
Two level seven Demon Emperors and a level eight Demon Emperor!
“Long time no see.” A heart connected voice transmission sounded in Qin Yu’s mind. Qin Yu’s attention was focused on that man who had greeted him — a black and thin man that appeared like an youngster.
However, his skin was covered in an indescribable radiance. His gaze was also very deep and profound.
“Mister Wu Lan.” Qin Yu was both pleasantly surprised and shocked.
Back in the Ni Yang’s Realm, the person who determines who enter the ninth floor of the Ninth Heaven, Wu Lan, was actually one of the great Demon Emperor in the third layer of the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas. Toward this old acquaintance, Qin Yu also possessed a favorable impression.
With a movement of Qin Yu’s thought.
The seven Demon Emperors of the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas all appeared on the grounds of the Jiang Lan’s Realm. Although these seven Demon Emperors were powerful, so much that there are some that’s a lot more powerful than Qin Yu, but Qin Yu was the master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas.
[TL: I felt like IET skipped a line. There should be something like: thus, Qin Yu naturally was able to transport them out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas.]
Seven people.
“This subordinate is called Ming Zheng, paying respect to the master.” A tall and robust man said respectfully. This tall and robust man was the weakest amongst the seven. He was only a level one Demon Emperor.
“This subordinate is called Dong Xue, paying respect to the master.” Said a beautiful white clothed woman respectfully. This woman was the only female amongst the seven. Her strength was at the level of level four Demon Emperor.
“This subordinate is called Ding Jiao, paying respect to the master.” This was a level three Demon Emperor middle aged looking man.
“This subordinate is called Yun Ming, paying respect to the master.” This was the strongest of the four, a level five Demon Emperor.
These four Demon Emperors were all Divine Beasts. Amongst them, only Yun Ming was a high level Divine Beast. The other three were all mid level and low level Divine Beasts... as for the other three great Demon Emperors, Qin Yu was instead unable to determine what they are.
“You four can go rest aside for now.” Said Qin Yu indifferently.
“Yes, master.” Said the four very respectfully.
It was evident that these four great Demon Emperors also knew of their own standings. Obediently, they stepped aside. It’s just that these four Demon Emperors have never approached the other three Demon Emperors.
The other three Great Emperors, one of them was the black and thin Wu Lan. To the side of him was an extremely tall and sturdy burly man. There’s also a tall and thin, cold and proud man on the side who didn’t even bother to glance at Qin Yu.
“Haha, never had I expected this. Merely how many years has it been? That youngster who wore the Black Profound Ring and only had the strength at the Dacheng stage actually has already reached Emperor Realm level.” Said the extremely tall and sturdy burly man while laughing loudly.
This burly man’s two tiger eyes were like bursting lightnings, filled with aggressiveness.
“You are... that pass guard?” Qin Yu immediately recalled the memories of that time. Back in the Ni Yang’s Realm, numerous people wanted to pass through the Blue Cloud Road; the burly man that guarded that road was precisely this burly man in front of Qin Yu.
“That’s right, it is I.” Said the tall and sturdy burly man proudly. “Let me introduce myself, I am called Ye Qu.... Mn, my original body should also be considered as a Demon Beast.”
Qin Yu was stunned.
What does he mean by ‘should also be considered’ ?
Wu Lan who was at the side smiled and said. “Qin Yu, Ye Qu is full of brawns and crude, it’s better for I to explain. Ye Qu’s original body was a type of legendary Divine Beast, the Tyrannosaurus rex.”
“Tyrannosaurus rex?” Qin Yu searched through all the information he have in his brain and was unable to find any Divine Beast called Tyrannosaurus rex.
“Mister Wu Lan, I do not believe there’s any dragon within the dragon clan called the Tyrannosaurus rex. Could it be that... Tyrannosaurus rex is a kind of variation Divine Beast?” Puzzled, Qin Yu said. He was unable to think of another kind of explanation.
[TL: T-rex in chinese is called literally Overlord Dragon. Hence why Qin Yu thinks dude’s a dragon clan.]
Wu Lan shook his head and laughed.
Ye Qu’s tiger eyes opened wide; he said. “Youngster Qin Yu, my Tyrannosaurus rex clan is incomparably large and powerful. The amount of clansmen within my clan were never less than ten thousand. How could I be a variation Divine Beast?”
“Ten thousand?”
Qin Yu was shocked, with such a large number, this type of Divine Beast ought to be a famous one, how was it possible that he didn’t know about it? “Ye Qu, why is it that I have never heard of it before?”
“That’s because your knowledge and experience are lacking.” Said Ye Qu complacently.
“Ye Qu, stop teasing Qin Yu.” Wu Lan smiled indifferently and said. Hearing what Wu Lan said, Ye Je mumbled to himself and then stopped saying anymore.
Wu Lan looked toward Qin Yu and explained. “Qin Yu, you do not know about the Tyrannosaurus rex clan because... the Tyrannosaurus rex clan was not a life form of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm’s space.”
“Not a life form of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm?” Qin Yu was astonished.
“That’s right.” Wu Lan nodded. “Before we talk about this, I must let your understand a thing. This boundless universe actually has a lot of different spaces. Some spaces are ranked high, some spaces are ranked low and then there’s spaces of the same rank; they are classified as parallel spaces. Do you understand this?”
Qin Yu naturally understand it.
Lei Wei’s hometown was a cosmic space filled with science and technology. It was equal level and classified as a parallel space with the space that his own hometown, the Qianlong Continent, was is.
The cultivators in both of these spaces, after they reach a certain level, would both ascend toward a space that’s ranked higher.
Wu Lan started smiling. “The space ranks are determined by their interior energy and stability. For example the Mortal Realm, there was more than merely the space that your hometown was in, there’s also other spaces that are classified as Mortal Realm. Likewise, there are also many other spaces of the same rank as the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm. The space that the Tyrannosaurus rex clan is located in is precisely one of them.”
Qin Yu completely understood it.
Ye Qu’s hometown was a space that’s the same rank as the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm.
“A living creature from another Cosmic Space?” Qin Yu found it unbelievable that a living creature from another space would actually appear in the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm. It was the first time for him to hear such a thing.
Hearing till this part, Ye Qu grew a bit sad.
Evidently, for him to leave his clan and his hometown, Yu Ju felt a bit pained about it.
“Youngster Qin Yu, although my hometown’s space was the same rank as the space here, but own overall strength should be many times stronger than yours.” Ye Qu said confidently. “The Divine Beasts here were separated into Low Level Divine Beast, Mid Level Divine Beast, Top Level Divine Beast and Super Divine Beast. However, for us... there wasn’t that much differences.”
Wu Lan explained from the side. “In their space, they were mostly divided into two major clans. One was the Dinosaur Clan and the other was the Human Clan. The Dinosaur Clan was further subdivided into the Tyrannosaurus rex, Flying Dragon... and all kinds of other varieties. As for the humans, they were about the same as those from the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm.”
Qin Yu completely understand everything.
That space appeared to be a lot less complicated than his own space.
“Our dinosaur clan needed to only train our bodies. Once our dinosaur bodies were trained to the extreme, humph humph.... we would directly take on the Divine Tribulation with our bodies and ascend into the Divine Realm.” Ye Qu appeared to be very proud of his clan’s training method.
Wu Lan nodded and said. “The training technique of the Dragon Clan was truly outstanding.”
“Idiots that only know how to fight close ranged.” An ice cold voice sounded from not far away.
Qin Yu was unable to refrain himself from turning his head to look. The person who spoke was precisely that tall, skinny and cold looking man. That cold looking man still didn’t bother to look at Qin Yu.
“Close combat is the way for the strongest attack power; how could magic and energy attacks possibly kill people in a single move like close combat?” Retorted Ye Qu to that cold looking man.
That cold looking man merely gave a cold humph and didn’t speak anymore. However, he still didn’t bother to even look toward the direction of Qin Yu.
Wu Lan smiled and said. “Wuxu, you need not deny the attack method of the dinosaur clan. The Tyrannosaurus rex’s aptitude is equivalent to those of a Top Level Divine Beast; however, their dinosaur clan’s training method is extremely suited for them. Although Ye Qu was at the level seven Demon Emperor Realm, but in battles... he is not much weaker than that Emperor Yu outside.”
Qin Yu’s eyes shined.
Ye Qu, a level seven Demon Emperor, have strength that approached Emperor Yu’s? It would appear that the dinosaur body of the Tyrannosaurus rex was extremely valiant.
“Mister Wu Lan, what did you call him earlier?” Qin Yu was suddenly woken up.
He definitely heard that Wu Lan called that cold looking man ‘Wuxu’!
Is he Ao Wuming’s big brother, Ao Wuxu?
“Qin Yu, let me introduce him to you. He is Ao Wuxu, his original body was the unprecedented variation Super Divine Beast of the Dragon Clan, Blood Dragon. Not long ago, his power had reached the level of level eight Demon Emperor.”
There were admiration in Wu Lan’s eyes.
Qin Yu was shocked to the brim.
A level eight Demon Emperor Super Divine Beast?
Qin Yu still remembers that the level seven Demon Emperor, Ao Wuming, in his Battle Mode Human Form, was able to easily defeat both Zhi Bai and Xue Yileng. In his Battle Mode Human Form, he was able to fight against Emperor Yu.
As for the level eight Demon Emperor level Super Divine Beast, that would be truly frightening. His Battle Mode Human Form would definitely surpass Emperor Yu and not just by two or three times!
“Mister Wu Lan, I have a question.” Qin Yu found a problem. Ye Qu and Wu Lan were both level seven Demon Emperors and Ao Wuxu was even a level eight Demon Emperor, how is it possible for them to be caught by Immortal Emperor Ni Yang and sent into the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas?
Wu Lan smiled indifferently. “I know, you wanted to ask about how we became spiritual beasts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas right?”
“Yes, that’s right.” Qin Yu looked toward Wu Lan.
Amongst these three, Qin Yu have the best impression toward this Wu Lan.
Wu Lan smiled and said. “Then let me tell carefully tell you all about it... when Wuxu was still young, he had left the Dragon Clan and even refused to pay attention to the orders of the Dragon Emperor. Do you know about this?”
Qin Yu also heard about the grudges that Ao Wuxu have toward the Dragon Clan. It was likely that the source of this grudge was because Ao Wuxu was mistakenly deemed to be a ‘Red Dragon’ when he was a child.
Qin Yu nodded to show that he knew about it.
“Wuxu lived for battles.” Wu Lan gasped in admiration and said. “When he was young, Wuxu left the Dragon Clan and started to wander around the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm. He had challenged countless amounts of experts and his power grew stronger and stronger. However, he had never once returned back to the Dragon Clan.”
“During that time, Wuxu reached the level of leven seven Demon Emperor and met Ni Yang who was at the time at the pinnacle of his life. The Ni Yang from that time was a level eight Immortal Emperor Sword Immortal.” Wu Lan had a slight smile on his face. “Wuxu challenged Ni Yang and the two had established a bet.”
At this moment, the cold and grim Ao Wuxu also walked over.
Ao Wuming gave voice and said. “Ni Yang and I had established a bet, if I were to lose, then I’ll become his spiritual beast. If I were to win, then his Divine Armor was to be mine. As for the results... I lost.”
Level seven Super Divine Beast against a level eight Immortal Emperor level Sword Immortal, their strengths were about the same and either one of them could possibly win.
“Wuxu is a very stubborn person.” Wu Lan said while smiling. “Afterwards when the Dragon Emperor found out about this matter, he directly step in to ask Ni Yang to reme his son’s soul binding.”
“Qin Yu, the Dragon Emperor’s strength was very powerful, extremely powerful. At that time, Immortal Emperor Ni Yang surrendered...” Wu Lan started to laugh. “Did you know what kind of response that Wuxu gave?”
Qin Yu was naturally able to guess it.
If Ao Wuxu were willing to leave back then, then he would not still be in the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas now.
“I have no relationship with the Dragon Clan, why must I accept his benevolence? Furthermore... I also have no expectation toward the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm; there was too few people that’s worthy for me to challenge them.” Said Ao Wuxu indifferently.
Qin Yu was able to clearly sense how large the estrangement Ao Wuxu has with the Dragon Clan.
“What’s more, the most important thing... is that since I agreed to bet, I must accept my loss. Since I lost, I naturally cannot go back on the deal.” Ao Wuxu added.
Qin Yu came to a judgement about Ao Wuxu in his heart.
He’s very stubborn and was certainly the type of person that is amenable to coaxing but not coercion.
“Mister Wu Lan, I am very confused... that Ni Yang from that time, with the protection of you all, why did he still fought with Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor to such an extent so much that he even died?” Puzzled Qin Yu.
With these three with Immortal Emperor Ni Yang, how could they possibly fear Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor?
Hearing this question, Wu Lan laughed.
Ye Qu also laughed. Even Ao Wuxu have an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
“Youngster Qin Yu.” Ao Wuxu stared at Qin Yu.” I do not like to be threatened by others. I would only help others do a single task should I owe them a favor. Otherwise... even if you were to kill me, I would still not help you.”
Qin Yu was dumbfounded.
Wu Lan explained. “Qin Yu, Ao Wuxu is extremely stubborn. At that time, the promise that he had with Immortal Emperor Ni Yang stated that only during the times of life and death crisis would he come out to protect Immortal Emperor Ni Yang’s life. In other times... Ni Yang only had a single opportunity to order Ao Wuxu. As an exchange, at the moment when Ni Yang ascend to the Divine Realm, he must remove Ao Wuxu’s soul binding and return his freedom.”
Hearing the promise between Immortal Emperor Ni Yang and Ao Wuxu, Qin Yu was unable to refrain from being startled.
Wu Lan smiled and said. “The Ni Yang from that time could only agree to the promise. If he were to agree to the promise, he would still have one opportunity to command Ao Wuxu, an opportunity to make Ao Wuxu do something for him. At the same time, when he’s in mortal danger, he can also get help from Ao Wuxu. If he were not agree, the only thing he can do is to kill Ao Wuxu and that would not benefit him in the slightest.”
Qin Yu completely understood.
Ao Wuxu would rather die than submit.
“Big brother Wu Lan, enough about Wuxu. At the very least Wuxu agreed to listen to one of Ni Yang’s command. What about you? You refused to listen to even a single command and only agreed to save his life in times of crisis.” Said Ye Qu while laughing on the side.
Ao Wuxu also looked toward Wu Lan. The meaning in his sight was clear to everyone present.
