Two Consecutive Stellar Transformations, the Third Transformation Complete
The star's volume expanded wildly, and its primordial energy surged exponentially.
The Self Star, which had just completed its first transformation and whose foundation had not yet been fully settled, broke through the shackles and began its second transformation!
A double transformation followed in quick succession, with the violent stellar energy surging and nearly breaking through the confinement of the sea of consciousness.
Chen Du was tense, gritting his teeth and firmly guarding his Dao heart.
With the newly born Tribulation Source Law as the absolute core framework, he governed all the great Daos around him, and with the mysteries of Bury Heaven, Extinguish Earth, Divine Prison Laws, Wrath of Heaven, and Wrath Devouring as supplements, he locked and suppressed layer by layer, imprisoning the terrifying energy of the star's rampage within the star body, not allowing even a trace of its origin to dissipate or be lost.
Boom!
A silent sound resounded, echoing deep within the soul!
Self Star, second metamorphosis, successfully completed!
The lingering effects of the metamorphosis have not yet dissipated, and the expansion of the celestial body shows no signs of stopping.
The accumulated immense energy and the newly born Dao Resonance of calamity once again ignited the celestial body's origin.
The third transformation arrives seamlessly!
The sea of consciousness and the sky trembled violently, the void twisted and rippled, and the entire realm of the divine soul was undergoing the ultimate erosion of the star path.
The dark golden star continues to expand, condense, and sublimate, its energy reserves rising layer upon layer, ultimately completing a leapfrog transformation.
After a long while, all the agitation subsided, and the world returned to peace.
At this moment, my Self Star has completed its third transformation!
Compared to its initial transformation, the star's volume has increased more than a hundredfold. The condensed star core is vast and heavy, and the primordial energy, tribulation pressure, and Dao foundation contained within it have increased a hundredfold, completely transforming itself into something entirely different.
In the bamboo courtyard, Chen Du sat quietly in place.
At the moment of breakthrough, the immense and vast star pressure could not be completely contained and leaked out uncontrollably for a moment.
With a soft hum, the entire Qingfeng Temple trembled slightly, the ground shook, and the stone tables and chairs in the courtyard were pushed several feet away by an invisible shockwave. The green bamboo in the courtyard swayed and leaves fluttered down, scattering everywhere.
After a moment, Chen Du exhaled a long breath of calming air, his mind returned to normal, and he completely suppressed the vast aura that had leaked out, returning to peace and tranquility.
The Stellar Threefold Transformation.
In just five months of law-forging, he leaped two levels of Star Transformation Realm.
He lowered his eyes to look at his palm, where a vibrant and lively pattern of tribulation origin slowly flowed beneath his skin, as if it were alive, endless and inexhaustible.
With a thought, his palm slightly clenched.
The pure power of the Calamity Source gathered into a ball, transforming into a small and exquisite dark golden sphere of light.
The sphere of light appeared to be only an inch in size and unremarkable, but the source of the calamity contained within was terrifying. The entire surrounding void was forcibly pulled, twisted, and wrinkled, radiating a terrifying potential energy capable of annihilating all things.
This is a brand-new secret technique he created by relying on the Tribulation Source Law and the power of the three-stage star transformation— the Star-Shattering Tribulation Bomb.
No need to build up power, no need to lay the groundwork, a single thought is enough to shatter stars with a single strike.
Chen Du raised his hand, aimed at a deserted mountain in the distance, and gently tapped it.
The dark golden orb shot out through the air at incredible speed, silently traversing the sky before crashing down on the mountaintop.
There was no earth-shattering roar, no massive shockwave.
The ultimate power of annihilation was contained to its absolute limit.
The instant the sphere of light touched the mountain, the entire majestic, barren mountain instantly melted, collapsed, and vanished.
Mountains, rocks, grass, trees, soil, and earth veins—all tangible things were reduced to the finest dust of heaven and earth, leaving not even a wisp of smoke or a speck of debris behind.
The earth was empty, leaving only a huge, smooth, and flat crater spanning several miles, silently attesting to the terrifying power of the attack.
This Star -Star-Shattering Tribulation Bomb is no less powerful than a cosmic cannon strike; it can shatter mountains and annihilate earth veins. If it were to strike a star-level being, it could even directly shatter its star-level foundation.
Chen Du withdrew his gaze, understanding dawning on him.
The unification and fusion of the Tribulation Source Law and the completion of the Stellar Threefold Transformation brought him a comprehensive and revolutionary qualitative change.
At the same time, the final shackles of the Heavenly Tribulation Nine Swords were completely dissolved under the nourishment of the Tribulation Source Law and the infusion of the Three Transformations Star Origin.
The previously barely formed and immature seventh sword has become completely perfected, while the entire swordplay, thieving framework, killing core, and locking mechanism of the eighth sword have been clearly manifested and deduced.
He used his three transformations into his Self Star as the foundation and the Tribulation Source Law as the guide, day and night deducing, consolidating, refining, and polishing all the sword principles of the Eighth Sword.
Compared to the seventh sword, the eighth sword's killing power, level of annihilation, and suppression power of tribulation have increased by more than a hundred times, and it is not even in the same level of the Great Dao.
Moving to the cliff behind the mountain, the mountain wind is biting and the sky is vast.
Chen Du raised his hand and summoned the Twelfth Tier Tribulation Sword. The pitch-black sword body floated in his palm, and thousands of tribulation patterns shone brightly.
He raised his sword and slashed through the air!
The Eighth Heavenly Tribulation Nine Swords has appeared!
With a single sword strike, the entire sky above the back mountain suddenly darkened, the sun and moon lost their light, and the world lost its color.
Endless calamity clouds surged down from the heavens, boiling and churning, with crisscrossing lightning illuminating the dark sky, and a world-destroying pressure enveloping the hundred-mile stretch of mountains and rivers.
Nine small, dark gold swords flew out of the sword and merged into the sky full of tribulation clouds, transforming into nine peerless lightning pillars that pierced through the heavens and earth, locking onto the distant sky and crashing down!
The lightning struck the ground, then vanished without a sound.
The remaining deep pit in the mountains and fields, along with all the landforms, soil layers, and traces of the earth's veins, vanished completely into thin air.
Not an inch of land remains, not a trace is left.
The entire airspace was completely clean, as if it had been nothingness since time immemorial.
Chen Du sheathed his sword and stood still, his gaze calm, silently assessing the true combat power of this strike.
Even those who have undergone major transformations at the Stellar Sixth Transformation or even Stellar Seventh Transformation cannot escape their fate of perishing when faced with this perfect eighth sword strike.
One sword can sever seven molts!
This is the unparalleled combat power of combining the Tribulation Source Law, the Three Transformations of the Star, and the Eightfold Calamity Sword!
He turned and slowly walked back, traversing the bluestone mountain path, heading towards the bamboo courtyard.
The distant sound of the bell from Qingfeng Temple at the foot of the mountain drifted over, melodious and serene, washing away the Heaven Slayer.
The journey is long, but we climb to the summit step by step.
He fused two techniques, generated the source of calamity, and transcended the three-star realm, achieving the eighth form of the sword.
He took another step on the path of cultivation, a step that shook the entire realm.
Chen Du walked slowly back along the winding stone path behind the mountain, his clothes fluttering in the evening breeze.
The tribulation clouds dissipated by that sword strike were slowly melting away in the sky, and the remaining dark golden lightning energy scattered into the heavens and earth, quickly fading away without a trace, as if that strike that could wipe out mountains and rivers had never happened.
Back in the bamboo courtyard, everything was just as it had always been. The green bamboo stood tall and graceful, the stone table was back in its place, and the bamboo leaves that had been shaken down by the breath covered the ground with a thin layer.
He stood under the eaves for a moment, his mind sinking into his sea of consciousness, quietly sensing the Self Star that was undergoing its third transformation.
The dark golden star suspended in the void of the soul, its surface flowing with the unique primordial patterns of the Tribulation Source. With each pulse, a thick and long stellar power flowed through the body along the meridians.
The once separate paths are now connected by the source of calamity, and there is no longer any sense of separation.
With a slight lift of his fingertips, a wisp of calamity-source power overflowed from his palm, transforming into tiny dark golden fireflies in mid-air. It hovered for a moment before quietly dissipating.
Star-Shattering Tribulation Bomb and Heavenly Tribulation Eighth Sword are his two most lethal moves at the moment.
The Star-Shattering Tribulation Bomb is highly concentrated and suitable for surprise attacks and stealth strikes, taking the enemy's life silently.
The eighth sword unleashed its Tribulation Domain, drawing upon the tribulation lightning of the nine heavens, pressing down head-on and annihilating all obstacles in its path.
One hidden, one revealed; one restrained, one released.
Chen Du had his own thoughts on the matter.
His current physical cultivation level is only at the Stellar Threefold Transformation, but with the Tribulation Source Law, the Twelfth-Tier Divine Sword, and the perfectly deduced eighth sword, he already has the confidence to fight against the Stellar Sixth Transformation.
However, this does not mean he can act recklessly. Fighting against opponents of a higher level still comes at a heavy price.
The eighth sword consumes an extremely terrifying amount of star power and calamity source energy. If it is continuously activated, even a star with the foundation of a three-stage metamorphosis will be quickly depleted.
The Star-Shattering Tribulation Bomb cannot be released indefinitely; the stronger the power, the more one must know how to restrain and conserve it.
Xuanwei's voice came from afar through several clumps of green bamboo, calling him to the dining hall for dinner.
Chen Du concealed all traces of tribulation aura around him, and the dark golden star in his sea of consciousness slowly dimmed its brilliance, returning to stillness.
The overwhelming power unleashed by his recent transformations and sword trials was completely concealed within him; his appearance remained that of a simple, unassuming, and unremarkable young Daoist.
He responded and turned to leave the bamboo courtyard.
On the way, I met a few junior disciples who were carrying buckets to fetch water from the mountain spring, chattering about interesting things that happened down the mountain.
After the drought completely subsided, rice seedlings were replanted in the fields, business and travel gradually resumed, and the town became lively again.
The children talked about the rain, the new seedlings, and the market, their eyes filled with vibrant joy, completely unaware that the power to destroy mountains and the earth with a single thought was hidden in their familiar senior brother Chen Du, right behind Qingfeng Mountain.
Chen Du nodded slightly and walked past them.
Human life and the great battles of the world have always coexisted in this one place.
He quelled the drought calamity of the Jiao King, forged the dual techniques to create the source of calamity, leaped through three transformations from his Self Star, and mastered the Heavenly Tribulation Nine Swords · Eighth Swords.
In just a few months, his abilities underwent a dramatic transformation.
However, the undercurrents on the chessboard of the Ling Dynasty did not stop with the end of a drought.
He walked to the entrance of the dining hall and saw Xuanwei sitting by the window in the distance, holding a newly delivered official gazette in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.
A new storm is probably on its way.
