Chapter 344: Chapter 343: Intercepting a Fortuitous Opportunity
Heaven and earth warped and changed as stars fell like a torrential rain. Across the sky, countless celestial bodies scattered, transforming into streams of shooting stars that descended upon the mortal world.
’It’s starting!’
Qin Feng shot to his feet and looked up. Above him, the entire starry sky was in flux.
A look of shock crossed Qin Feng’s face. His powerful Spiritual Consciousness sensed that in just an instant, the Star Essence Qi in the Void had surged to more than ten times its usual concentration.
And the density of the Star Essence Qi in the Void was still rising rapidly!
At the same time, Qin Feng’s gaze fell to his feet. The entire Ten Directions Star Fate Array was radiating a silvery-white light as countless faint, silver Runes burst forth from within it.
The precursor to the Descent of All Stars phenomenon had arrived!
In that moment, countless powerful beings raised their heads to gaze into the Endless Void, watching the scene unfold in utter shock.
"The stars are descending! The great era is upon us!"
Someone let out a great roar, a sound so powerful it seemed capable of shattering mountains and rivers. The wild joy in his eyes was impossible to conceal.
In one hidden domain after another, ancient masters were suddenly startled from their seclusion!
"Such dense Star Essence Qi! This is... the Descent of All Stars, a sign that the great era is at hand!"
"Excellent, excellent! The great era is dawning! After meditating in solitude for thousands of years, our opportunity has finally arrived!"
"After ten thousand years of bitter cultivation, my chance to achieve the Dao is finally here!"
...
Countless ancient masters, roused by the abnormal surge of Star Essence Qi that filled the world, emerged from their seclusion.
At the same time, within the various Major Sects, Giants were suddenly awakened. Overjoyed, they urgently issued summons.
"All Inner Sect Disciples, emerge from seclusion! Prepare to enter the various mortal Empires at once and find the reincarnated souls who have fused with the Star Marks of the heavenly constellations!"
"Any such individuals found are to be brought back to the sect for nurturing!"
"This is a heaven-sent opportunity! Our sect’s great era is about to begin!"
In the Domain of All Stars, powerful experts from the Star Sect had already arrived at their designated locations within the many mortal kingdoms. They emerged silently from the shadows, their gazes fixed upon the Star-seeking Compasses in their hands.
Every one of them wore a calm expression.
They were waiting for the moment the stars would descend.
Once a genius—a reincarnation bearing a star’s power—was found, they would immediately be brought back to the sect and inducted into one of the Twenty-eight Peaks.
Meanwhile, other powerful figures from the Star Sect had already infiltrated the neighboring Northern Spirit Realm and Eastern Cyan Realm.
...
On Heavenly Red Peak, the moment the celestial phenomenon began, Qin Feng stopped his comprehension of the Chaos Fire Divine Technique, forcing himself to suppress the shock and turmoil in his heart.
At this moment, the surrounding Ten Directions Star Fate Array sensed the Star Essence Qi in the Void—now more than ten times more concentrated—and began to operate on its own.
At the center of the Array Hub, the Meteorite Star Core erupted with a layer of bright, crystalline, silvery-white light. This light spread out, enveloping Qin Feng completely within a few breaths.
Bathed in this silvery-white light, Qin Feng seemed to become an ancient, eternal star.
Qin Feng’s expression was calm. Like a star, he began to draw in the vast Star Essence Qi from the Void. At the same time, a peculiar aura began to emanate from his body.
The moment this aura appeared, Qin Feng felt a faint, formless resonance with the endless cosmos.
Silently, Qin Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up. It was as if he could see hundreds, even thousands, of streams of starlight suddenly reversing course to form a massive cosmic whirlpool.
From within the whirlpool, hundreds of motes of starlight silently yet powerfully shot out.
They moved without a sound. Some of the motes of light were dim, almost invisible, while others shone with the brilliance of the sun and moon.
Suddenly, in the next instant, the sky above Heavenly Red Peak blazed with light as a boundless radiance descended from above.
Half a breath later, a streak of light slammed into Qin Feng’s Spirit Platform. His body shuddered as he instantly devoured the boundless starlight.
A formless aura, carrying the terrifying presence of a Demon God, entered Qin Feng’s body. It instantly plunged into the depths of his soul, transforming into an indescribably tyrannical power that devoured the brand of the Fallen God Star within him. Following the traces left by the brand, the power then shot through the Star River and entered the true body of the Fallen God Star.
In just a few short moments, a mystical and ineffable change, visible to the naked eye, seemed to overcome Qin Feng’s Lifebound Star.
Its size remained the same, but its very essence seemed to have been elevated by countless tiers. It gave off an aura of being one with the universe, as if it had been nurtured by Creation itself.
Its starlight grew purer and more profound, resembling a true black hole.
It exuded an ancient, primordial aura.
The phenomenon lasted for only an instant, coming and going in a flash. Outside, the experts from All Stars Academy only saw a streak of starlight descend into their territory before quickly vanishing.
"That streak of starlight was..."
At that moment, outside a mysterious, deep valley, two powerful experts stared in astonishment at the distant All Stars Academy, where a streak of starlight had just flashed by.
"This is impossible! The Sect Leader spent thousands of years of his own lifespan on this divination. It can’t be wrong!"
The two terrifyingly powerful experts could only stare, speechless.
Moreover, judging by that intense, fleeting flash, that was no ordinary star. It might even have been one of the thirty-six most powerful Ancient Main Stars.
"This won’t do! We must dispatch someone to investigate at once and find this Star Lord!"
"That won’t work, Junior Brother. An Ancient Main Star is unlike any other. A being of that caliber possesses all sorts of mysterious and unfathomable abilities, one of which is concealment. Unless the Star Lord chooses to reveal themself, our Star-seeking Compasses are useless!"
"Then what should we do? We actually missed an Ancient Main Star! The Ancient Main Stars were among the very first to be born. They are the ancestors of all stars, the progenitors of the cosmos, the Dominators of billions of worlds!"
"Don’t panic. Since the host of this Ancient Main Star landed within All Stars Academy, they’re as good as in our grasp. As the bearer of an Ancient Main Star, their performance is destined to be extraordinary. We just need to observe carefully, and we will eventually root them out!"
...
Meanwhile, in the grand hall within a deep valley, dozens of figures in Black Robes stood atop a series of high platforms, each suffused with streams of multicolored starlight.
The images of ancient stars manifested around them. Among them, the auras of eleven individuals were particularly intense. The starlight erupting from their bodies was so powerful that it caused the stars manifested by the others to tremble and instinctively retreat.
Eleven Ancient Main Stars!
Watching this, some of the Elders observing from the shadows of the hall gasped inwardly.
On one of the platforms, wreathed in endless flames and enveloped by crimson starlight, Ji Huang’er’s beautiful eyes flickered with shock and uncertainty. A ball of golden flame appeared in her palm.
A stream of information flooded her mind. ’The Sun Star Lord’s Mark?’
Yue Ji was also among the eleven. In her palm, an ancient star mark shaped like a crescent moon had appeared.
Besides these eleven most powerful individuals, there were over a dozen others whose starlight was also exceptionally potent.
In a corner, a faint, grey, ancient starlight flowed around Qian Kai. A primordial presence emanated from him, carrying with it an aura of utter Annihilation.
Information flooded his mind, and an unconcealable, ecstatic joy flashed in Qian Kai’s eyes. ’The Ancient Star, the Spiritual Essence Star!’
