Stellar Transformation
Chapter 285: Volume 11 - 43 Ni Yang Realm
"What are you looking at?"
Man Qian barked coldly, frightening the startled Wu Hei, who had just cast his gaze towards Qin Yu and his group.
By now, these two groups had essentially merged into one. However, during their flight, the Dragon Clan, Independent Demons, and Independent Immortals involuntarily gravitated towards each other. Likewise, the members of the Chaotic Star Sea, Primordial Wilderness, and Qin Yu’s team instinctively drew close, forming two smaller subgroups.
The subgroup led by the Dragon Clan had a total of thirteen individuals, comprising five from the Dragon Clan, five Independent Immortals, and three Independent Demons. There were originally four Independent Demons, but Lady Lian Yue had died.
Qin Yu’s subgroup had a total of nine people.
Their journey continued without conversation...
And Qin Yu was completely immersed in his cultivation and travel.
Inside Qin Yu’s Dantian.
The interior of that green Planet had almost ninety-five percent transformed into True Solar Core Energy, so much so that the entire Planet was just a thin green surface layer, with a fiery ball within, slowly increasing in size.
The transformation of power was consuming energy at an astonishing rate.
Yet, the Life Essence Power within Qin Yu’s body could replenish all the consumed energy in the blink of an eye.
...
On this day, the quiet advance of the two subgroups totaling twenty-two people continued. As they moved further ahead, the density of the blade winds in the heavens and earth grew harsher and the frequency of spatial fissures also increased. Everyone was forced to pay more attention to their surroundings.
Every individual resorted to their own methods to dodge the various dangers.
Qin Yu’s scorching Star Domain surrounded him, making him radiate with a golden light.
Suddenly—
The range of Qin Yu’s Star Domain on the surface surged dramatically, its diameter increasing by two or three times, and its intensity growing substantially. This caused many passersby to look at Qin Yu involuntarily.
"Congratulations to Brother Qin Yu on your breakthrough in power," Man Qian said with a chuckle.
Zong Jue also nodded with a smile.
A trace of joy appeared on Qin Yu’s face.
Now inside Qin Yu’s Dantian hovered a massive fiery ball, just like the sun, with strands of scorching energy swirling within the Dantian.
With no obstruction from the green Planet, the True Solar Core Energy was incredibly pure. It instantly increased several times over, and Qin Yu believed that once he employed the Black Flame Monarch’s Ring, the power of his two Domains would also increase significantly.
"Constant Star Stage, my Master never reached the Constant Star Stage, yet I have finally done so."
For a moment, Qin Yu felt wistful.
"Star Transformation" Six Great Realms—the final and greatest Realm is the Constant Star Stage!
"I have finally reached the Constant Star Stage, but it also means that from now on, the experience left to me by my Master will be of little use. In the future, I must rely on myself to make breakthroughs in power and Realm," Qin Yu thought to himself, unsure whether to feel happy or worried.
The next Realm, to be created by myself.
Creating a Cultivation Technique was exhilarating for Qin Yu, but if he failed and took the wrong path, his soul could very well disperse.
"Big Brother, did you make a breakthrough?" Hei Yu turned to Qin Yu; Hou Fei also looked at him.
Others might not know some of the disadvantages of the "Star Transformation" Cultivation Technique, but Qin Yu’s two closest brothers did. "Star Transformation" is an incomplete Cultivation Technique; unlike other techniques that evolved from the vast universe, it cannot be converted to any other Cultivation Technique.
"Feifei, Little Black, don’t worry," Qin Yu said with a faint smile.
"Little Black, be careful," Qin Yu suddenly noticed a streak of blade wind slashing towards Hei Yu, who dodged it with ease, floating gently like fluff.
"Big Brother, Monkey, and I are almost done with our energy transformation. Maybe we’ll ascend anytime—it could be half a year, a year, or even three years. It’s hard to say," Hei Yu transmitted ruefully at that moment.
Qin Yu’s heart skipped a beat.
Aside from his parents and Li’er, his two brothers were the closest to his heart, with Little Black being particularly dear to him.
In his youth, without his father’s care or mother’s presence, he would often embrace Little Black on the summit of Donglan Mountain, watching the nighttime stars, solitary children with a solitary Black Hawk. In an instant, their cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Mortal World.
Ascension, forcing them to part ways.
Little Black and Feifei were heading to the Demon World, while he faced the challenge of creating a new Cultivation Technique. Moreover, there was no telling where he would ascend to.
"Little Black, Feifei, don’t worry. I will definitely succeed in creating the Cultivation Technique, and then I’ll definitely come to find you after my ascension!" Qin Yu vowed with resolute spiritual communication, "Not only will I find you, but I also have to find Li’er, so I cannot fail."
"Yes, Big Brother, you won’t fail," they both said.
Yet, whether it was Qin Yu, Hou Fei, or Little Black, they all knew that their current words were mere self-consolation; the success of creating a Cultivation Technique was not as simple as just saying it would happen.
"Puchi!"
A blade wind sliced off a large chunk of flesh from Little Black’s shoulder.
"Alright, focus on the journey," Qin Yu quickly transmitted.
The three brothers stopped talking and quietly continued their travel, but they couldn’t help flying side by side, savoring the last moments together in the Mortal World.
An elegant dodge here, a sidestep there.
Occasional smiles between brothers, or humorous expressions after being injured by the blade winds.
...
After about three years into the final one hundred million miles, they should have arrived at the Death Abyss, but they still hadn’t seen it, so they had to keep moving forward!
But the conditions on the road indicated that they were definitely very close to the Death Abyss.
The blade winds became increasingly dense, and the frequency of spatial fissures grew correspondingly higher.
Dodge?
With so many blade winds, except for Zong Jue, Hei Yu, Hua Yan, and Yu Liang, who could barely dodge, the others simply couldn’t evade and had to withstand them as best as they could.
Watching Hei Yu dodging up and down like an illusory shadow, Qin Yu felt much relieved.
"With Little Black’s excellent movement technique and my own body’s toughness comparable to that of a Low Grade Immortal Device, I am immune to the weaker blade winds, and the stronger ones can’t harm me significantly as they are repaired by Life Essence Power. Only Hou Fei faces a bit of danger now."
Qin Yu paid close attention to Hou Fei.
At that moment, Hou Fei was wielding the Black Stick.
Through observing the water current emitted by his body and his keen vision, Hou Fei could detect danger in advance. While dodging, he would redirect unavoidable blade winds with the Black Stick to the other side.
Hou Fei’s staff technique was exquisite. Qin Yu had not expected that Hou Fei, always known for his overwhelming power and rigid style, would use such an elusive staff technique.
With a gentle flick of the Black Stick, the direction of the blade wind actually changed.
"It seems Feifei is not in much danger either. Feifei and Little Black also have a bottle of Life Creation Pill with them, I believe there won’t be any serious danger," Qin Yu reassured himself slightly. If Little Black and Feifei were truly in danger, Qin Yu would immediately take Little Black and Feifei into the Qingyu Immortal Mansion.
Even if doing so might raise suspicions, Qin Yu would not be concerned about that.
"Haha, the Death Abyss is near!" The loud laughter of Man Qian resounded.
Instantly, everyone looked toward the distance.
However, nothing but the boundless Cold Ice World could be seen in the distance. But after Qin Yu and the others flew a thousand miles, they finally had to marvel at the power of Man Qian’s "Purple Pupils".
Far away—
Who knows how many tens of thousands of miles away, the Tongtian purple flames were continuously rising, making everyone tremble at the sight.
Purple flames!
Wasn’t this Heavenly Fire? And it was an endless expanse of Purple Heavenly Fire.
"That is the flames of the Extreme Land Flame Domain. The Extreme Cold Domain might be somewhat more perilous, but the cold air is mostly concentrated inside these ice blocks, so the attack power of the external cold air is not great. However, the Extreme Land Flame Domain is different. Those flames are burning in every corner of space there; there’s no hiding from them," said Zong Jue with a smile.
Qin Yu and the others understood.
No wonder Zong Jue had chosen the Extreme Cold Domain over the Extreme Land Flame Domain in the past.
Everyone knew they were getting closer to the Death Abyss.
Because the Death Abyss was located right between the Extreme Cold Domain and the Extreme Land Flame Domain, suddenly everyone was filled with determination, and their speed increased once more. They all quickly advanced forward, sensing they were getting nearer to the Ni Yang Realm.

"Is this the Death Abyss?"
Hou Fei couldn’t help but gasp at the scene before him.
Qin Yu, Hei Yu, and the others, including the Upper Realm Envoys like Man Qian, all wore shocked expressions on their faces.
The Death Abyss stretched out as far as the eye could see and was thousands of miles wide.
The depth of the Death Abyss was unfathomable; moreover, countless blade winds shot out from within it, interspersed with eruptions of purple Heavenly Fire and constant spreading of greenish cold air... The Death Abyss was simply hellish.
"Why would there be such wondrous places as the Extreme Cold Domain and the Extreme Land Flame Domain? And what is the cause of this peculiar wind?" Qin Yu looked at everything before him, almost understanding it all.
The blade wind was produced because of the extreme cold and extreme hot air currents.
"So this wind is actually a polar vortex. No wonder it is so powerful. The Extreme Cold Domain and the Extreme Land Flame Domain, one extremely cold and the other extremely hot. But the sources of this extreme cold and heat... They must be inside this Death Abyss," said Sword Immortal Hua Yan, smiling.
Everyone agreed.
Because... they all saw countless blade winds shooting out from the Death Abyss, with tremendous force that even caused successive cracks in space to appear.
"There’s Blue Swine Heavenly Fire within the Heavenly Fire!" Du Zhongjun’s face changed.
Upon a closer look from Man Qian, Hua Yan, Ao Feng, and the others, their expressions also drastically shifted. Indeed, amidst the endless Heavenly Fire erupting from the Death Abyss were flower-like blue flames, although they were very scarce.
Even though the Heavenly Fire was powerful, it posed no threat to the likes of Man Qian and the others.
Blue Swine Heavenly Fire, now that is a different matter. Even Golden Immortals (Demon Kings, Demon Lords) dare not touch it easily.
"Not only is there Blue Swine Heavenly Fire, look over there, that is the Green Smoke Cold Air, which is as notorious as the Heavenly Fire, but within the Green Smoke Cold Air, there is also a minute amount of Xuanjin Cold Air. The power of that Xuanjin Cold Air is absolutely no less than that of the Blue Swine Heavenly Fire," Man Qian said in a deep voice.
Force our way through?
Looking at the frequent appearance of spatial cracks, and the mysterious Blue Swine Heavenly Fire mixed within the Heavenly Fire, as well as the Xuanjin Cold Air within the Green Smoke Cold Air, all of it indicated that to forcibly enter there—was undoubtedly a sure death.
"Ni Yang Realm is located within the Death Abyss. Given such an environment, if we want to safely reach the Ni Yang Realm. Going down directly like this is certain death, we have to rely on the map to navigate," Hua Yan said to Qin Yu and his group of people, "Although you say you have a map, the last section of the map that enters the Death Abyss is the most important, so you’d better not follow us."
Man Qian and Zong Jue immediately frowned.
Clearly, Hua Yan and his group still doubted the authenticity of Qin Yu’s map.
"Follow you? Senior Hua Yan, you underestimate us too much. Senior Hua Yan, Senior Ao Feng, our group here will set off first. Is that okay now?" Qin Yu said with a smile, then went straight to the left.
Man Qian and Zong Jue both snorted coldly and promptly led their own men to follow behind Qin Yu, heading toward the left. In just a short moment, the nine people of Qin Yu’s small group had entered the Death Abyss.
"That way? How come our map is pointing us in this direction?"
Hua Yan, Ao Feng, Du Zhongjun, and Fang Tian looked at each other in astonishment.
The path shown on their map and the one Qin Yu was following were completely different.
"Humph, I guess that Qin Yu doesn’t know where he got the wrong map from, our map is formed by the assembly of three Sky-breaking Maps, and everyone was present when it was created. It definitely can’t be wrong, I just hope that Man Qian dies because of that wrong path!"
Du Zhongjun sneered, then took the lead and moved forward to the right.
Ao Feng, Hua Yan, and others followed suit.
From then on, the two small groups each entered the Death Abyss from two different directions according to their respective maps.
...
"Haha, Qin Yu, this path of yours is really safe. Walking down this road, outside there are fierce flames, endless blade winds, and the sky is filled with biting cold, but we haven’t suffered the slightest injury," Man Qian laughed heartily.
Qin Yu’s group of nine, following their own path, directly penetrated deeper into the Death Abyss, constantly flying downward at high speed. However, all along the way, they did not sustain any injuries.
"The map says, upon seeing this pillar, we should head to the right, but the right side is filled with endless blade winds," Qin Yu paused in mid-air next to a pillar. Man Qian and others behind him stopped when they saw Qin Yu stop.
"These blade winds have not formed spatial cracks. Even if we get hit, with Life Essence Power, we won’t die," Qin Yu clenched his teeth and stepped forward.
"Big Brother."
Hou Fei and Hei Yu immediately cried out in alarm, and Man Qian and Zong Jue and the rest also changed their expressions.
"Haha, this is an Illusion Realm, everybody just come in," Qin Yu’s laughter came from ahead.
Hou Fei and Hei Yu breathed a sigh of relief and were the first to follow, with the others also following suit.
Proceeding according to the map Qin Yu held, they were terrified by various illusions on the way, but in reality, not a single person was harmed. In this manner, they flew downward for about three days’ time, covering at least a distance of a million miles.
An open expanse of land suddenly appeared before Qin Yu and his group.
The land seemed boundless at first glance. On this endless, open land stood only three towering pillars, and on these pillars were carved one character each in sequence— "Ni" "Yang" "Realm"!
