Stellar Transformation-Chapter 84 - 14 Star Domain

Shen Bao and Qin Yu turned into two black afterimages, exchanging blows at an extreme speed.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

Each clash emitted a shocking noise, with the two fighters sometimes soaring high into the sky and sometimes battling on the ground. As their afterimages passed, the giant trees in the jungle collapsed one after another with a loud crash.

"Ha!"

Qin Yu threw a direct punch that pierced through the air towards Shen Bao’s chest. A glint flashed in Shen Bao’s eyes, and he easily dodged with a sway, creating several afterimages. Qin Yu’s punch landed heavily on the giant tree behind Shen Bao.

The giant tree trembled slightly but sustained no major damage.

Suddenly—

"Bang!"

The giant tree, as high as tens of meters, exploded like a bomb into countless splinters as if completely shredded. Each piece of wood was no bigger than a palm, and the huge tree burst into innumerable splinters that flew in all directions.

Shen Bao’s figure flickered twice, retreating a hundred meters before standing in the air and staring at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu also stood motionless, watching Shen Bao closely.

"This guy hasn’t even transformed into his true Black Wind Leopard form yet, and his speed is already comparable to mine. Once he transforms, his speed will increase even further. Then I really won’t be a match for him." Qin Yu kept his breath completely focused on Shen Bao in front of him but was thinking of ways to deal with the Black Wind Leopard.

In terms of speed, Qin Yu was not at an advantage and was even at a disadvantage.

Suddenly, Qin Yu’s eyes lit up, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Right, the Black Wind Leopard excels in speed and, though its strength is not weak, compared to its speed, its power is indeed insignificant. But my strength, when combined with Star Power, exceeds his!"

Shen Bao glanced at the completely shattered splinters and sneered, "Indeed, you have some strength. No wonder you could kill my third brother. However... with just this level of strength, you’re no match for me." Shen Bao said this, but he was actually shocked by the power of Qin Yu’s punch just now.

If that punch had hit Shen Bao, he would have been either dead or severely injured.

"Don’t talk big, let’s see the truth in action," Qin Yu quietly guessed the other’s thoughts, clearly realizing that Shen Bao had recognized how strong Qin Yu’s power was.

So, naturally, play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.

Qin Yu charged at Shen Bao like an arrow once again. At first glance, it seemed he was flying in a straight line, but a closer look revealed that his figure was gently drifting with ease.

No sound of wind while flying!

In almost an instant, Qin Yu arrived in front of Shen Bao.

"Wind? Do you think you can compare with our Black Wind Leopards in controlling the wind?" While Shen Bao spoke, his body smoothly dodged Qin Yu’s attack, and like Qin Yu... there was no sound of wind with his movement!

"What!"

Qin Yu’s expression changed. Shen Bao was able to move with the wind just like him, unaffected by the slightest breeze.

Suddenly, a sharp, piercing eagle cry echoed through the sky.

"What’s happened to Little Black?" Qin Yu swiftly retreated while extending his Spiritual Sense broadly to clearly see the scene of Little Black and Shen Yu fighting. At the same time, Shen Bao also stopped fighting, paying attention to the condition of his second brother.

"Ao—"

Shen Yu transformed into a Black Wind Leopard, the green pattern on his back even glowing faintly. At this moment, Shen Yu’s entire body bristled, his leopard’s eyes staring at Little Black and growling non-stop, yet not attacking.

"Huhuhu—"

Little Black spread his huge wings, his black feathers gleaming like cold steel, with lightning flashing through them. At the same time, flames rose all around Little Black, his powerful aura startling everyone.

The Black Wind Leopard continued to growl with bristling fur trembling.

"Yow"

A piercing screech came from Little Black’s mouth, directly assaulting the ears of everyone, including Qin Yu, who felt a tremor in his heart. He realized that Little Black had completely gone mad. Little Black’s wings shook, and he suddenly shot up into the sky.

Suddenly—

Lightning bolts shot out from Little Black’s body, and in a flash, he became like the Thunder God himself, countless bolts of lightning emanating from him and directly striking the Black Wind Leopard below.

The Black Wind Leopard moved swiftly, but the speed of the lightning was too fast, and there was simply too much of it. Bolt after bolt struck the Black Wind Leopard, which let out a howl and then suddenly leaped towards the sky.

Little Black opened his mouth, and a huge ball of Thunder Fire shot out at an incredible speed, with a ball of lightning at its center that contained a terrifying amount of lightning power. Flames enveloped the lightning and strangely seemed to be unified with it.

"Heavens, how powerful is that ball of energy? If it hits, even I would be severely injured and done for," Qin Yu marveled inwardly while growing increasingly astonished at Little Black’s unfathomable power, "Little Black is way too powerful."

The ball of Thunder Fire plummeted toward the Black Wind Leopard.

The Black Wind Leopard’s figure flickered, easily dodging the incoming Thunder Fire, then it bit towards Little Black.

"Bang!"

The dodged ball of Thunder Fire, as if remote-controlled, abruptly turned and struck the Black Wind Leopard, sending out a powerful shockwave and a wretched howl, with Qin Yu catching the scent of singed fur.

"Second Brother!"

Seeing Shen Yu severely injured, Shen Bao became anxious and charged directly towards Little Black. As he flew, he transformed into a Black Wind Leopard. Qin Yu’s mind, however, was abruptly filled with Little Black’s voice.

"Big Brother, stop him quickly, I’ve used up most of my energy."

"Not good!"

Qin Yu only now realized that releasing that terrifyingly powerful ball of Thunder Fire had taken a toll on Little Black. In this moment, Qin Yu did not have time to think of anything else!

A hazy silver Star Power instantly enveloped Qin Yu, forming a pattern like a spinning Star Nebula around him. In an instant, Qin Yu seemed to be completely connected with the universe, his speed suddenly increased—

"Seeking death!"

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed with a ferocious light.

"Ao!" The Black Wind Leopard Shen Bao growled and immediately attacked Little Black. But Little Black, anticipating Shen Bao’s attack, had already moved towards Qin Yu with a shake of his feathered wings, as the Black Wind Leopard continued to pursue Little Black with its movements.

"Big Brother, I leave it to you!"

Little Black’s voice rang in Qin Yu’s mind, and a smile appeared on Qin Yu’s face.

"When Master first reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, he was able to kill a Great Success Stage expert, several Independent Immortals, and dozens of Transcendance Tribulation Stage and Kongming Stage experts. As his disciple, if I can’t even kill a Golden Core Late Stage Demon Beast, I might as well kill myself!"

Star Power enveloped Qin Yu, and within this diffused area was where his attacks were strongest. Within this range, Qin Yu moved even faster.

"Aooo—"

The Black Wind Leopard bared its teeth, biting at Qin Yu while its claws also reached for him. Qin Yu’s hands, clad in the Flame Burning Gloves, also turned into claws to meet the Black Wind Leopard’s in a head-on collision.

"Idiot!"

Qin Yu’s right hand boldly grabbed the leopard’s paw, and Star Power, along with his formidable physical strength, erupted. There was the sound of cracking bones, and one of the Shen Bao’s paws was completely disabled by Qin Yu.

Shen Bao panicked!

"Aooo—" It let out a mad scream, and suddenly bone spurs on its four claws shot out like arrows. Qin Yu had no idea that the Black Wind Leopard’s claw spurs could detach and attack on their own.

"This isn’t good!"

Qin Yu’s expression drastically changed. With one hand grabbing the Black Wind Leopard’s claw, he was now in close quarters combat with the beast. They were too close, and even upon realizing the danger, it was too late for him to dodge.

"Puh!" "Puh!"

Star Power burst out of Qin Yu, and like an arrow, he shot to the side. Even though he dodged quickly, two bone spurs still penetrated his body, one embedding in his left arm and another between his chest bones.

"Puh!"

Qin Yu spat out a mouthful of blood. Even though his body was as tough as a Spiritual Artifact, the Black Wind Leopard’s final attack with its bone spurs was too powerful! The bone spurs were a natural part of the Black Wind Leopard’s body, once dislodged for an attack, it would take decades or even a hundred years to grow back.

The Black Wind Leopard suddenly morphed from its leopard form into that of a human.

Shen Bao glared fiercely at Qin Yu. "You broke my claw and forced me to shoot four bone spurs. If I don’t kill you and devour your Golden Core, how can the hatred in my heart be extinguished?" Shen Bao had no choice, with one paw broken, he could no longer maintain the same speed as when he was in his leopard form.

Qin Yu promptly pulled out the bone spur embedded in his chest bones and the one in his left arm. Fortunately, his body was strong enough that the bone spurs didn’t penetrate deeply. If the one in his chest had penetrated slightly further, it could have hit the vital organs.

Qin Yu immediately pressed on his acupoints to stop the bleeding.

"Big Brother," Little Black’s voice sounded.

Qin Yu raised his hand to stop him. "Don’t worry about me, damn it, if I don’t kill this beast, all my cultivation would have been for nothing. I’m going all out!" Qin Yu’s eyes flashed with a faint red, and his entire being radiated a wild and ferocious aura, like a hurt lone wolf that had become even more mad.

Feeling the soothing flow of the Meteor Tear on his wounds, a cold smirk formed at the corners of Qin Yu’s mouth.

"Shen Bao, is it?" Qin Yu’s eyes fixed on Shen Bao, and the wound on his left arm was healing at a visibly rapid pace. As long as it wasn’t a vital area that was wounded, the Meteor Tear could heal flesh wounds extremely quickly.

"Feel the power... of the Star Domain!" The light silver Star Power on Qin Yu’s body began spinning rapidly, and the Star Nebula in his Dantian also whirled quickly, with each silver particle shining brightly.

The power of the stars reached its zenith in an instant, filling every part of Qin Yu’s body.

"What!"

Shen Bao had not understood the meaning of Qin Yu’s words when Qin Yu had already charged towards him at extreme speed, yet Shen Bao was sneering as he watched Qin Yu, as he had just witnessed Qin Yu’s chest being pierced by a bone spur, clearly suffering a serious injury.

"Die!"

Qin Yu suddenly let out a fierce shout, and in an instant, he turned into six or seven illusions.

Within the range of the faint silver Star Power vortex, six or seven Qin Yus appeared around Shen Bao, at times turning a single hand into an Iron Fist, at times transforming it into a Hand Blade, at times extending it into steel claws, and at times joining fingers to form a Finger Sword.

"Bang!" The Fist and Finger struck as if transcending time, directly hitting Shen Bao’s chest, immediately causing an explosion, and a hole appeared.

"Spurt!" The Finger Sword pierced through Shen Bao’s right palm.

"Crack!" The steel claws broke Shen Bao’s spine.

...

The figures merged into one.

Qin Yu looked as if he had never moved at all, staring at Shen Bao in that moment. Shen Bao’s eyes were wide open as he stared back at Qin Yu: "What... what kind of speed is this?" Shen Bao’s self-proclaimed proud speed had no power to resist Qin Yu’s attack just now.

"To die under the Star Domain, you can take pride," Qin Yu said without so much as a glance at Shen Bao. Only the sound of crackling bones could be heard as Shen Bao’s entire skeleton utterly shattered, and he immediately collapsed on the ground. He then started convulsing, blood pouring from all seven orifices, and he still murmured softly, "Star... Domain..."

And then there was no more sound, as for that Shen Yu, he had been killed by Little Black.

Qin Yu’s face suddenly turned beet-red, as if his insides were rebelling, and a mouthful of fresh blood surged from within, uncontrollable by Qin Yu, spewing directly from his mouth, and then he immediately sat down cross-legged.

"Big Brother!"

With a tremor of his feathered wings, Little Black rushed to Qin Yu’s side.

"It’s nothing, I can only be considered early-stage Star Nebula at the moment, using the Star Domain is still insufficient, but I should be mostly recovered after an hour," Qin Yu communicated through Spiritual Sense, then quietly regulated the chaotic energy within his body.

The Star Domain, belonging to the advanced Cultivation Technique after mastering the Tongtian Three Diagrams to the extreme. When the Three-colored Armor enveloped Qin Yu initially, his speed also increased several times, and the Star Domain was based on the same principle.

Only it was much more powerful, and the speed was even faster.

An hour later.

"Big Brother, two Golden Cores," Little Black placed two Golden Cores in front of Qin Yu, who opened his eyes and took one of them directly, then said, "Little Black, one Golden Core from the Late Stage of the Golden Core has an energy eight or nine times that of an Early Stage Golden Core. One for me, one for you."

Little Black looked at the remaining one and immediately communicated eagerly through Spiritual Sense, "Big Brother, I’ve already consumed Shen Yi’s Golden Core, I said all the rest are for you."

"I will only refine one, the Golden Core from the Early Stage is negligible compared to the Late Stage. If you don’t want it, just throw it away," Qin Yu said, and started to refine the Golden Core straightaway, ignoring Little Black.

Little Black’s Eagle Eyes stared at Qin Yu for a long time and then still took the Golden Core.
