Stellar Transformation-Chapter 490: Episode 14 - 63 Complete Refinement

Gray mist seeped out from the twenty-thousand-li blood cloud, constantly gathering, growing denser, and reducing in size. From originally covering an area close to twenty thousand li, it had finally shrunk to an area of about ten li.

However, at this moment, the gray mist had become so dense that it was terrifying, and sight could not penetrate it.

"Rumble~~~~"

The heavens and earth thundered, the barren planet where Qin Yu and his brothers were undergoing their divine tribulation trembled, as their three-person divine tribulation advanced to a four-person divine tribulation. The power had multiplied severalfold, so much so that even the planet could not bear such pressure.

In the gray mist, lightning in the shape of thick Qiu Long-shaped black divine thunders rolled about, their terrifying pressure causing the hearts of the Qin Family members watching from afar to tremble.

"Yu’er," Qin De clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles had turned white, and even a hint of fresh blood seeped from the edges of his nails. Yet, Qin De continued to stare unblinkingly at Qin Yu in the midst of the tribulation crossing area.

Silence, everyone fell silent.

Quiet!

Everyone held their breath, watching Qin Yu and his two brothers in the tribulation crossing area.

From a three-person divine tribulation, it suddenly escalated to a four-person divine tribulation. The current third divine tribulation was much stronger than Qin Yu had anticipated. Did Qin Yu still have a way to endure it?

"Master, are you really not going to use the Divine Spear ’Residual Snow’? Do you really plan to hide all your treasures to withstand the four-person divine tribulation?" Uncle Fu muttered to himself.

If Qin Yu did not hide his strength, it would be easy for him to withstand this four-person divine tribulation.

But how could Qin Yu forget the reminders of Grandma Yin Hua from before?

Qin Yu, with clear divine sense, noticed the black divine thunders within the dense gray mist. The Qiu Long-shaped black divine thunders were constantly colliding and fusing. Originally there were hundreds of such divine thunders, but as they collided and merged, they became new, singular thunders.

As time passed, their numbers dwindled. The hundreds of Qiu Long-shaped divine thunders, after only a short while, turned into four divine thunders.

These four divine thunders resembled sharp swords, and the sword light of these four ’sharp sword’ divine thunders kept fluctuating, with electric sparks continuously tearing through space.

"So that’s how it is," Qin Yu, having clearly perceived this transformation with his divine sense, understood and thought to himself, "The final four gathered divine thunders must be the divine thunder tribulations of the four-person tribulation."

Hou Fei and Hei Yu felt an immense weight in their hearts, as the ten-li-wide dense gray mist in the sky exerted great pressure on them.

"Big Brother, we’ll block it together!" Hei Yu said in a cold voice, urgency in his tone.

"Big Brother, Emperor Xuan died charging in as well, and the divine tribulation is no longer what you initially anticipated. Its power is too great. Let the three of us brothers face it together," Hou Fei implored, his right hand which held Black Stick trembling.

Yet, Qin Yu continued to look up at the huge mass of gray mist in the sky, not responding at all.

"It’s about to descend," Qin Yu suddenly muttered to himself.

"Little Black, Feifei, stand by my side and do not go further than ten feet away from me," Qin Yu said to Hou Fei and Hei Yu with a smile, "Don’t worry, I have confidence in facing this four-person divine tribulation."

Seeing Qin Yu like this, Hou Fei and Hei Yu looked at each other and eventually had no choice but to heed Qin Yu’s words.

"Big Brother, if we can’t withstand it, don’t hold back anymore," Hei Yu communicated through demon recognition.

Qin Yu looked at Hei Yu and nodded with a smile.

"The third layer of the divine tribulation has begun." Qin Yu’s expression suddenly turned solemn, as the previously suspended mass of gray mist in the sky began to descend, its pace not very fast.

After about ten breaths, the gray mist had completely descended to where Qin Yu and his brothers stood.

"Golden Punishment Spirit Pearl, Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure... Today, let me experience your strongest power," Qin Yu clenched his fists, then suddenly spread his arms wide, laughing aloud, "Power of Gold, arise!"

A clear golden light shield expanded in all directions from Qin Yu as its center.

The scope of the light shield increased steadily, its radius stretching from three meters to five, six, seven... ten meters!

A massive hemispherical golden light shield with a ten-meter radius had fully expanded, and for a moment, the dense gray mist and four longsword-shaped divine thunders could not break through it!

"Big Brother..." Hou Fei and Hei Yu gaped in astonishment at this scene.

...

"Father, don’t worry, Little Yu will definitely be alright," Qin Feng reassured, gripping his father’s fist which was clenched tightly and ice-cold.

Qin De gazed at the distant gray mist.

"I can’t see what’s happening inside at all!" Qin De was full of concern.

With his immortal consciousness, he simply could not penetrate the Heart Demon Fog, and he couldn’t see what exactly was happening inside the gray mist. He wasn’t the only one... almost everyone present was anxious.

"Crackle, pop, snap..."

Sounds began to emanate from within.

"Gold light, it’s gold light," Qin Feng’s eyes suddenly brightened.

The Qin Family, numbering over a thousand, clearly saw streaks of golden light, like sharp swords, cut through the gray mist and burst forth, and the dense gray mist was slashed open as well.

"Master, how has your strength become so formidable?" Uncle Fu puzzled inwardly, "This shouldn’t be possible."

******

Unable to figure it out, the others were likewise bewildered. Yet at this moment, Qin Yu felt an exhilarating sense of satisfaction.

"Haha... The Golden Punishment Spirit Pearl, its power after complete refinement is indeed strong." Sword Light surged around Qin Yu’s body as his Soul Power fiercely attacked those Heart Demons.

Heart Demons induced by the Heart Demon Fog exist almost akin to Soul Power. One simply cannot see them with the naked eye; they can only be detected, defended against, and attacked with Soul Power!

A person’s Divine Tribulation typically shakes the Soul Realm of a Ninth Level Immortal Emperor. In the case of a Divine Tribulation for four people, the impact of the Heart Demon’s assault multiplies tens of times. However, Qin Yu’s Soul Realm is dozens of times higher than that of an average Ninth Level Immortal Emperor.

"Hiss~~~"

Under the vicious onslaught of Divine Sense Attacks, all the Heart Demons were swept away indiscriminately.

"How did Big Brother’s strength become so powerful? Even Divine Thunder can’t breach his defense shield?" Hou Fei, wide-eyed, watched the scene before him in disbelief and turned to ask Hei Yu beside him.

Hei Yu also shook his head, "I don’t know either."

The secrecy of this matter remained with Qin Yu alone, known by no one else thus far.

"Over the past few decades, I merely allowed the ’Golden Punishment Spirit Pearl’ to ingest a strand, no, a substantial portion of the ’Glue Breath’ from the Star Space. It only took twenty years of effort, and I’ve already successfully refined it. I suppose I might be the only one among the Golden Punishment Monarchs of all generations to have completely refined the ’Golden Punishment Spirit Pearl’."

Qin Yu mused to himself with a mental chuckle.

Having returned to the Qin Family for a full ninety years, Qin Yu had spent just a little time refining the ’Golden Punishment Spirit Pearl’. This was also an experience gained from the ’Refining Fire Bracelet’.

"This ’Glue Breath’ truly is extraordinary. The Golden Punishment Spirit Pearl absorbed merely a wisp, and I was able to refine it successfully. I wonder what the next Realm will be, now that the Origin continuously absorbs a vast amount of ’Glue Breath’ at every moment."

In the moment of Tribulation Crossing, Qin Yu had the luxury to think of other matters.

"However, I made a wrong estimation last time. Since the Golden Punishment Spirit Pearl has been fully refined, its power is no less than that of the Residual Snow Divine Spear," Qin Yu observed as four sword-shaped Divine Thunders continuously bombarded the golden Light Shield, yet it remained unbreached.

Following the complete fusion of the Golden Punishment Spirit Pearl, Qin Yu’s power had indeed improved by leaps and bounds, primarily derived from the ’Golden Punishment Spirit Pearl’. It was at least a hundred times stronger compared to the Power of Gold at the Eighteen-star Emperor Level.

"Break for me!"

Qin Yu suddenly roared, and the ten-meter radius of the golden Protective Shield burst into dazzling brilliance, as if crazed, sending shockwaves in all directions, rapidly expanding from ten meters to thousands of meters...

Everywhere it passed, the gray fog dissolved, instantly clearing the Heart Demon Fog within the Tribulation Crossing area, allowing the observers from the Qin Family to see what was happening clearly.

As the golden Light Shield expanded dramatically, the defense per unit area naturally weakened, and the four now considerably weakened black Divine Thunders finally breached the diminished Golden Shield, slicing through it as the sword-shaped Divine Thunders struck.

"The greatest utility of the Golden Punishment Spirit Pearl is not in ranged attacks, but in enhancing the durability of the body and increasing close combat capabilities," Qin Yu said with a slight smile, moving agilely.

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

Consecutive crisp sounds followed as the now much-weakened sword-shaped Divine Thunders, faced with Qin Yu’s fists, were smashed and dissipated one by one.

Looking up.

The twenty-thousand-mile Blood Cloud was dissipating, and at the same time, the boundless rolling black clouds were also fading away.

It was clear—the Divine Tribulation had passed!

"Big Brother."

Hou Fei and Hei Yu’s faces instantly revealed excited smiles.

And Qin De, Qin Feng, and others, who had just glimpsed this scene due to the dispersal of the Heart Demon Fog, let out long sighs of relief. During the Tribulation Crossing, they had been on tenterhooks for a long while.

"Big Brother, when did your strength increase so much?" Hou Fei asked excitedly.

Qin Yu understood in his heart.

It wasn’t that his own strength had increased, but that the full refinement of the Golden Punishment Spirit Pearl had greatly enhanced the toughness of his body—by how many folds he did not know—and even the Power of Gold had increased a hundredfold, likely stronger than the average Divine Power.

"Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, its effect after full refinement truly lives up to its name, increasing the power more than tenfold compared to when it was only partially refined," Qin Yu grew fond of the ’Golden Punishment Spirit Pearl’ in his heart.

The Golden Punishment Spirit Pearl, a Gold Attribute Spiritual Treasure.

Improving physical durability and such a substantial increase in strength, Qin Yu naturally liked it. But could he bring the Golden Punishment Spirit Pearl to the Divine World?

If he did, he would certainly attract a whole host of enemies. Especially that mysterious individual who had given the Golden Punishment Spirit Pearl to the Dark Star Realm’s clan in the first place.

"Do not be greedy, must not be greedy. I still have several Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures to refine myself, how can I covet the Clan Treasure of the Dark Star Realm." Qin Yu forcefully suppressed the desire in his heart. Yet, at this moment, Qin Yu was unaware that his recent actions had already caught the attention of a powerful being in the Divine World.
