Chapter 349: Episode 12 Chapter 39 Black Hole Realm
Sitting by the pool, Jiang Yan flicked the water with her toe, which was as white as jade, while her spirited large eyes rolled around. It was unclear what kind of mischievous ideas were going through her mind.
"Boring!"
Suddenly, Jiang Yan yelled out, looked around to see that there wasn’t anyone nearby, and then shouted even louder, "Deathly boring!"
"Sister Yan’er, stop shouting," a gentle and beautiful woman walked over. "Qin Yu and your Brother Luo Yu are both in seclusion, and even your Brother Wu Ming has entered seclusion now."
Ten years after Qin Yu and Luo Yu began their seclusion, Ao Wuming, having nothing else to do, also went into quiet contemplation.
This made the hyperactive Jiang Yan terribly frustrated. Initially, she could chat and have fun with her sister-in-law, Lian Zhu, but as time went on, Jiang Yan lost interest as well.
"Fifty years!" Jiang Yan stretched out her hand to Lian Zhu and said with widened eyes, "Can you see, Sister Lian Zhu? It’s been fifty years since Qin Yu and Brother Luo Yu went into cultivation, and I’m nearly bored to death, to death!!!"
Lian Zhu shook her head with a gentle smile and patted Jiang Yan’s head.
Jiang Yan pouted and fell silent.
"Don’t worry, if you really can’t wait, you could go into seclusion yourself. Once you start cultivating, you won’t feel the passage of time. But if you stay here waiting impatiently, the more anxious you are, the more unbearable it will seem," Lian Zhu smiled.
Jiang Yan shook her head like a rattle-drum: "No, I don’t like cultivating."
"Qin Yu, Jun Luoyu, and Ao Wuming, if you three don’t come out to keep me company after this young lady waits another fifty years, humph... just wait and see how I’ll deal with you once you’re out," Jiang Yan stated viciously toward the direction of the seclusion chambers.
"Sister Lian Zhu, let’s go shopping. Come on," Jiang Yan said, pulling Lian Zhu’s hand.
Lian Zhu smiled lightly and nodded, "Alright, I know I can’t talk you out of it."
"Hehe," Jiang Yan revealed a radiant smile to Lian Zhu. Lian Zhu formed a hand seal, and the next moment both Jiang Yan and Lian Zhu vanished into thin air within the Nameless Dragon Mansion.
The Nameless Dragon Mansion was created by Ao Wuming and, as his wife, Lian Zhu naturally learned some of the magic formulas to control it.

Inside the seclusion chamber in the Nameless Dragon Mansion where Qin Yu was located.
A thick layer of dust had settled on Qin Yu, yet after fifty years of cultivating, neither his clothes nor his appearance had changed in the slightest.
Within the first layer of the Earth Soul Space of Qin Yu’s soul.
In the vast and indistinct space, Qin Yu sat cross-legged in mid-air, constantly forming thirty-six hand seals that contained great divine power.
These thirty-six hand seals were incredibly difficult to form. After fifty years of arduous cultivation, the strength of Qin Yu’s soul had become much more powerful than before, and he was now able to form twelve hand seals at once.
As Qin Yu once again managed to form the first twelve hand seals in one go and attempted to continue further—
It was like ascending to the heavens.
Qin Yu felt his consciousness becoming light and floaty, and his consciousness soared directly from the first layer of the Earth Soul Space into the second layer.
"I’ve broken through!"
Advancing from the first layer to the second layer of the Earth Soul Space, the feeling made Qin Yu fully awake.
Inside the seclusion chamber.
"Hum~~"
Qin Yu’s body shook as he sat cross-legged. The dust on his body was all shaken off, and the fierce Dark Star Power circled around his body. Suddenly, not a speck of dust remained on Qin Yu, and his countenance was still as stern as it was fifty years ago.
He opened his eyes, and his gaze was deeper than before.
"Now my Soul Realm has improved a lot compared to the past, almost catching up to the standard of a Fourth or Fifth Level Golden Immortal. I can try to break through from the late stage of the Dark Star Realm to the ’Black Hole Realm’." Qin Yu’s face was no longer calm.
He stood up.
"The cultivation of the soul is silent and can be practiced in this secret chamber. However, for this breakthrough of mine, I must refine the Golden Immortal Nascent Soul. When that time comes, the energy will be overwhelming; it would be better to cultivate inside the Qingyu Immortal Mansion."
After careful consideration, Qin Yu turned the Qingyu Immortal Mansion into a dust particle and placed it within the secret chamber, then entered the mansion himself.
From the Dark Star Realm, breaking through to the Black Hole Realm.
Could he succeed?
In fact, even Qin Yu wasn’t entirely sure. After all, the step after the Dark Star Realm is the Black Hole Realm, which was his own conjecture. Nothing is certain until it really happens.
Inside the Qingyu Immortal Mansion.
Right in the plaza of Qin Yu Immortal Mansion’s main hall, Qin Yu sat cross-legged on the plaza, utterly serene. Inside the Qingyu Immortal Mansion, his heart was completely at ease.
"Huff!" With his mouth open, an extremely hot blue flame circled around Qin Yu’s body, which was precisely his current True Star Fire—the Blue Swine Heavenly Fire.
Casually, he took out a Seventh Level Golden Immortal’s Nascent Soul. This Nascent Soul belonged to Yan Gao, the Great Elder of the Yan Family.
Under the burning of the Blue Swine Heavenly Fire, the Golden Immortal Nascent Soul, without a soul controlling it, was easily melted and instantaneously turned into a pool of golden liquid, beginning to orbit around Qin Yu’s body.
Opening his mouth, much like a whale swallowing water, he directly ingested the Seventh Level Golden Immortal Nascent Soul.
A speck of dust, yet it can contain three thousand worlds.
The Dantian is in the human belly, but the space inside is nearly boundless.
Within the Dan Field Space.
At the most central point, a tiny black particle faintly emanated a terrifying suction force, the energy from the Seventh Level Golden Immortal’s Nascent Soul was frantically devoured, the ’Dark Star’ slowly grew in size with some peculiar transformations taking place...
On the plaza of the Qingyu Immortal Mansion.
There was no wind, no sound, only Qin Yu quietly sitting cross-legged at the center, in silence. From the outside, there was no sign of the astonishing changes happening inside Qin Yu’s bodily Dantian.
Suddenly—
"Boom!"
An extremely terrifying surge of energy burst forth from Qin Yu’s body like countless flying arrows, reaching in all directions, and in an instant, disaster enveloped the entire Qingyu Immortal Mansion...
At that moment, the Defense Restriction contained within the Qingyu Immortal Mansion automatically activated. A faint glow appeared on the surface of the plaza, and even the palaces shone with light.
"Rumble rumble~~~" Successive explosions continued to resound, the plaza was swept by wild winds, and the space itself was shaking incessantly.
In the midst of these explosions, Qin Yu floated up.
Devouring!
The energy Qi Force that attacked from all directions crazily converged towards Qin Yu. Not only that energy, but even the Primordial Spirit Qi within the Qin Yu Immortal Mansion was gathering inside Qin Yu’s body.
Qin Yu at this moment seemed like a vortex, devouring countless amounts of energy.
Inside Qin Yu’s Dantian.
The ’Dark Star’ had vanished; just as Qin Yu had planned, the Dark Star eventually evolved into a vortex, a devouring vortex... Countless energies were being consumed.
Black Hole Realm.
Star Transformation’s eighth major realm is precisely the Black Hole Realm.
"What, what exactly is going on?" Qin Yu himself was extremely shocked.
He had thought of the eighth major realm as the Black Hole Realm, but he never imagined that the Black Hole Realm would be such a ’black hole’. Just now, as the ’Dark Star’ absorbed enough energy and began to evolve, it finally collapsed to form a ’black hole’, but this black hole was like a spatial channel, leading to a region unknown to anyone.
Qin Yu could feel himself crazily sucking in the endless energy around him, no matter what kind of energy it was, even the Primordial Spirit Qi inside the Qingyu Immortal Mansion was being continuously consumed.
If the Qingyu Immortal Mansion itself had not been protected by the ’Defense Restriction’, Qin Yu would probably have devoured all the Primordial Spirit Stones as well.
At the moment the ’black hole’ formed—
An ancient, eternal breath that transcended time, space, and all existence came from the other end of the black hole, enveloping Qin Yu’s consciousness, merging into his consciousness.
Consciousness.
At the moment when that ancient breath merged into Qin Yu’s consciousness, Qin Yu clearly felt his own transformation, a fundamental change at the source level, an indescribable feeling.
But Qin Yu understood.
At that moment, Qin Yu felt as if he had transformed from an ant into a human; although still a baby, he was no longer an ant.
"The Black Hole Realm is still not stable enough, it needs energy," Qin Yu suddenly deduced the reason why the ’black hole’ was constantly devouring energy, his intention moved—
Yanxuan’s Ring—Skyfire Domain!
A blue fire dragon emerged, surrounding Qin Yu. The level of Heavenly Fire displayed by the Yanxuan’s Ring’s ’Skyfire Domain’ correlates with the caster’s strength.
Back when Qin Yu was still in the Mortal World, he could only release Purple Heavenly Fire.
But now, he could unleash endless Blue Swine Heavenly Fire.
"An Eighth Level Golden Immortal Nascent Soul, I have to see if that’s enough." Qin Yu directly took out a Nascent Soul of an Eighth Level Golden Immortal from the Yanxuan’s Ring, "At the early stage of the black hole, my strength is probably only comparable to that of a Fifth or Sixth Level Golden Immortal; an Eighth Level Golden Immortal Nascent Soul should be enough."
That was what Qin Yu thought, but what about the reality?
The Eighth Level Golden Immortal Nascent Soul, under the frenzied burning of the Blue Swine Heavenly Fire, turned into a golden stream. Qin Yu opened his mouth to suck it in, directly into his belly and into the ’black hole’.
"Heavens, an Eighth Level Golden Immortal Nascent Soul was devoured, and this ’black hole’ only stabilized a little bit, with almost no change at all." Qin Yu was startled by this development.
Just to reach the early stage of the black hole, how much energy does it require?
A Ninth-level Golden Immortal Nascent Soul was taken out by Qin Yu. In that great battle on Fengyue Star, Qin Yu obtained many Golden Immortal Nascent Souls, which he thought would be enough for his cultivation for a long time.
But now, just for the early stage of the black hole, it was consuming such a massive amount of energy.
The Ninth-level Golden Immortal Nascent Soul was completely refined and absorbed into the black hole.
"It’s really like a bottomless pit."
Qin Yu’s face actually carried a hint of a smile, as he wasn’t particularly worried about anything, because he felt that the refinement of a Ninth Level Golden Immortal Nascent Soul had indeed stabilized the Black Hole Channel within his Dantian quite a bit.
However, Qin Yu was still unable to effortlessly control the "Black Hole" and stop it from absorbing energy.
"I want to see how much you can absorb. I have plenty of Nascent Souls, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to absorb them all."
Determined, Qin Yu began taking out Nascent Souls one after another from Yanxuan’s Ring, taking out six in one go.
Three Eighth Level Golden Immortal Nascent Souls and three Ninth Level Golden Immortal Nascent Souls floated around Qin Yu’s body, turning into a thick golden flow under the burn of Blue Swine Heavenly Fire.
Three Eighth Level and Ninth Level Golden Immortal Nascent Souls, such thick energy devoured by the "Black Hole," made Qin Yu feel as if it had eaten a great tonic, with the stability of the "Black Hole" experiencing a leap.
But even so, Qin Yu could only control the "Black Hole" to absorb slower or faster, still unable to make the "Black Hole" stop absorbing.
Qin Yu’s goal was—"to have it fast when needed, to stop its devouring when desired."
"Quite the appetite you’ve got there."
Qin Yu continued to take out Nascent Souls from the Yanxuan Ring, one after the other... In his amazement, the "Black Hole" seemed to reject no comers, its stability continuously rising.
After devouring a total of thirty Eighth Level Golden Immortal Nascent Souls and ten Ninth Level Golden Immortal Nascent Souls, the "Black Hole" finally underwent a fundamental change.
A golden light ring began to fly out from the other end of the Black Hole Channel within the Dantian, but stopped at one third of the way.
With a thought from Qin Yu,
the Black Hole suddenly stopped its devouring, and tranquility was completely restored within Qingyu Immortal Mansion, except the concentration of Primordial Spirit Qi had dropped by more than a hundredfold, all devoured by the Black Hole.
"What is that golden light ring?" Qin Yu became curious.
As fierce as the Black Hole was, it had no suction on Qin Yu’s consciousness; after all, the Black Hole was cultivated by Qin Yu himself, and his consciousness instantly merged into the golden light ring.
"Such pure energy." Qin Yu distinctly felt the fierce energy within the golden light ring, even more condensed and forceful than the Dark Star Power.
Qin Yu stretched out a finger.
A golden Qi Force shot out from Qin Yu’s finger, striking the Defense Restriction of Qingyu Immortal Mansion.
Opening his eyes, Qin Yu stood up, his face filled with doubt.
"Although the energy of this golden light ring is pure and vigorous, just now I refined thirty Eighth Level Golden Immortal Nascent Souls and ten Ninth Level Golden Immortal Nascent Souls in one breath. The energy of the golden light ring is only close to one tenth of what was absorbed just now, so where are the remaining nine tenths?"
Qin Yu’s face was full of endless confusion.
Suddenly, Qin Yu’s eyes brightened: "Could it be because of the space at the other end of the Black Hole Channel?"
Up to now, Qin Yu still didn’t know where exactly the Black Hole Channel led to, but the moment the Black Hole Channel formed, that ancient breath merged into his consciousness, and Qin Yu could never forget that feeling of transformation.
"What is on the other side of the channel?" Qin Yu couldn’t suppress his curiosity.
Ultimately, he decided... to take a look at the other end of the Black Hole Channel.
Qin Yu’s consciousness followed the Black Hole Channel deeper, gradually reaching the other end of the channel, where he witnessed a scene that left him dumbfounded.
