Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 303 Walking the Week, Metamorphosis

Beyond the Abyss Continent lies an even more vast and boundless ocean.

Even if the entire Abyss Continent and the other continents were combined, their area would not be more than one-tenth the size of the entire ocean.

Such a vast ocean teems with marine life that is truly boundless!

The vast and boundless sea.

"Tch~~~"

A dazzling golden rainbow streaked across the vast sea, its terrifying speed creating a fierce gust of wind that left a deep trench behind it, as if a sharp sword had cleaved the ocean in two.

"Haha, that's great!"

As Zhou Yang rode his sword, feeling the sharp sea breeze blowing in his face, his mood naturally became more open and expansive.

After breaking through to the Star Core stage, this was the first time he had unleashed his speed without restraint and galloped freely. Now, on this vast sea, riding his sword at will, he couldn't help but feel a sense of exhilaration, like a fish leaping freely in the boundless sea!

"We've finally entered the sea area."

A smile appeared on Zhou Yang's face.

After he killed the Jingyang Sect's Qianyang Daoist last time, it was naturally impossible for him to return to the Jinyang Sect.

Having just reached the late stage of Star Core cultivation, he had planned to venture out and explore, so he simply left the Jinyang Sect and headed towards the Boundless Sea.

In order to avoid the Jingyang Sect's blockade, he not only concealed his aura and only showed the cultivation level of an ordinary Void Realm cultivator, but also changed his direction of travel several times, taking a huge detour before successfully entering the sea area.

The sea is the territory of demon cultivators. Even though Jingyang Sect is the number one sect in the immortal path, it is not willing to provoke the forces of demon cultivators easily. Zhou Yang does not need to worry about encountering the pursuit of Jingyang Sect again.

As for the Jinyang Sect, the members of the Jinyang Sect were unaware of their own identities, and believed that the Jingyang Sect, in order to maintain the dignity of immortal sects, would not make things too difficult for them.

Of course, even if Jingyang Sect really wanted to do something to them, Zhou Yang probably wouldn't be able to stop them.

After all, his current strength is still a bit immature compared to those powerful immortal sects with long-standing traditions.

"Killing that Qianyang Daoist has allowed me to acquire another Nascent Soul at the late Void Realm stage. Refining it might allow me to break through to the Xing Zhou stage (Void Realm stage)."

In "Stellar Transformation," each major realm represents a significant leap forward. When his strength increases again, venturing into the Demon Cultivator Sea should be easier.

"Whoosh~"

Zhou Yang transformed into a golden rainbow and traveled forward. Before long, he landed on a deserted island.

After casually carving out a simple cave dwelling on the deserted island and setting up several defensive formations, Zhou Yang immediately began to refine the nascent soul of the Qianyang Daoist.

The nascent soul of the late-stage Void Realm contains a massive amount of energy, conservatively estimated to be at least ten times stronger than the early-stage Void Realm cultivator's nascent soul that Zhou Yang had previously obtained.

As Zhou Yang refined it, the purple nascent soul began to melt little by little, gradually transforming into streams of purple-gold liquid energy.

After being repeatedly tempered by the Starry True Fire, the purest trace of life essence from this liquid energy was absorbed by the black star core in Zhou Yang's dantian.

As it continued to absorb energy, the black star core grew increasingly powerful, soon approaching a critical point.

At this moment, Zhou Yang has truly reached the peak of the late stage of the Star Core realm. The next step is to break through to the Planetary Realm!

Inside Zhou Yang's dantian.

The golden sphere that existed in the early stages of the star core has now turned black, and it no longer generates much heat.

However, he clearly sensed that the 'Star Core' at its peak was nearly ten times more powerful than the original golden Star Core, only now its energy was contained.

"The core of a star is the heart, absorbing countless stars to form a planet. The most important thing in cultivating the planet is the 'spiritual energy of heaven and earth,' which is the spiritual energy of all things in heaven and earth. This fills the planet with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, just like the planets inhabited by mortals, full of life force."

Based on the description of the Stellar Transformation technique, Zhou Yang began to guide it with his soul power.

His previously calm dantian suddenly changed the moment he broke through—

As if the universe were trembling, countless stars that had been orbiting around the black star core in the shape of a nebula suddenly gathered frantically towards the central black star core. Even the Star Fire surged into the interior of the black star core, and everything became turbulent.

Once things calm down.

Within Zhou Yang's dantian universe, only one 'planet' remained.

Deep inside this planet lies the star core, and at the very center of the star core is the Starfire!

At this moment, the Starfire had broken through the deep blue color and turned into a light purple.

It should be noted that for ordinary cultivators of immortality or demonic arts, the flames are initially pale red.

From light red, red, dark red, then light cyan, cyan, and dark cyan.

These six realms correspond to Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Void Realm, Emptiness Realm, Tribulation Transcending, and Great Completion, respectively.

Zhou Yang's true fire, due to the special nature of the Stellar Transformation technique, reached a light blue color during the Nebula stage.

The flames of the Flowing Star are cyan, and by the late stage of the Star Core, they have reached a deep cyan.

From the Golden Core stage to the Flowing Star stage, and then to the Star Core stage, the color of the Star True Fire is always cyan, only the color keeps getting deeper.

However, when it broke through the cycle of the Starry Sky, the True Star Fire underwent a fundamental qualitative change—it transformed from deep cyan to light purple!

The Nebula Stage, Flowing Week, Star Core Stage, Traveling Week, Tribulation Crossing Stage, and Constant Week correspond to light blue, blue, dark blue, light purple, purple, and dark purple Star True Fire, respectively. This is a whole major realm higher than that of ordinary cultivators, demonstrating the power of "Stellar Transformation"!

At that very moment, Zhou Yang's expression remained calm, but his hands swiftly formed mysterious hand seals.

At this moment, his entire mind seemed to have completely left his body, as if he had completely merged with the world!

That feeling of "I am the sky, and the sky is me" made Zhou Yang's whole soul tremble, and his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

At the same time, the 'planet' within his dantian trembled, and specks of green appeared on its surface, as a faint wisp of life force began to emerge within the planet.

At this moment, the planet in his dantian was covered with specks of green spiritual energy, only a thin layer, while the core inside was like a fireball, radiating intense heat. The 'True Star Fire' at the deepest part of the core was almost purple.

Zhou Yang's mind was completely integrated with heaven and earth, and he quietly felt the vastness, grandeur, and naturalness of heaven and earth.

In this wondrous state, his soul was also undergoing rapid changes, with the soul power in his mind quickly solidifying and becoming increasingly pure and powerful.

His spiritual realm was silently rising, and he soon surpassed the late stage of planetary (void and void) realms, entering the tribulation stage.
