485 Entering Star Cluster Hall

Chapter 485: Entering Star Cluster Hall

Following that, Qin Yun looked down. His Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm had enveloped the area, so he was acutely aware of every nearby Skyfiends' and fiendcelestials' move.

"They've fled! General Roc Fiend and Old Fiend Fire Puppet have fled!"

"I pleaded with General Roc Fiend and Old Fiend Fire Puppet via voice transmission, but they completely ignored me."

"They were only trying to keep themselves alive. Why would they care about us?"

The group of Skyfiends had long scattered in a bid to escape.

Qin Yun gradually landed as he overlooked the area.

"Obliterate."

He gave this command with a thought.

The stellar forces pressed down like a mountain.

The fiendcelestials and even Skyfiends immediately disintegrated under the pressure of the stellar forces, vanishing to nothingness. Only five fiendcelestials who had committed very few sins as well as eight Skyfiends who managed to withstand the stellar forces remained alive.

"This…"

The large group of Skyfiends that scattered were communicating via voice transmission as they fled, but before they could get far, they watched helplessly as some of their fellows were pulverized under the stellar light!

"There are actually eight Skyfiends that managed to withstand my stellar forces' pressure. Six of them are third firmament Skyfiends who specialize in cultivating their bodies. Two of them are fifth or sixth firmament Skyfiends," thought Qin Yun.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

These eight Skyfiends fled frantically.

Finally, there was one Skyfiend that fled to the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm's membrane wall.

"Open up! Open!" The Skyfiends tried their best to attack the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm's membrane wall but failed to even stir it.

As it was, even two or three of Old Fiend Fire Puppet's twelve puppets would not be able to crack open the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm's membrane wall! Seventh or eighth firmament Skyfiends that did not have powerful enough attacks could do nothing to it, much less the remnant eight Skyfiends.

"Go!" Qin Yun casually sent out eight Swords of Stellar Light.

"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"

The eight Swords of Stellar Light caught up to the eight Skyfiends, and when they came into contact with them, the light in their eyes was extinguished as they died on the spot, leaving behind shocked-looking corpse.

Clearly, none of these Skyfiends were like Kuifu who could fight someone beyond their level.

Those that could fight beyond their level like Empyrean Lord Kuifu, Daoist Divine Firmament Ancestral Master Zhang, and Qin Yun were ultimately rare. They typically had a illustrious background.

Kuifu was a child of a big family clan in the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss and he had cultivated in powerful divine powers.

Ancestral Master Zhang had created a Lightning Dharma for himself. His realm was long at the pinnacle of Skyimmortals.

Qin Yun's realm was already at the late stages of the Skyimmortal realm. He was not too far away from the pinnacle bottleneck and he had also attained initial success in the two great divine powers.

"Retrieve." Using the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm, he easily collected all the treasures, including the Skyfiend corpses, in the Dragon Mountain world. They rapidly tore through the sky towards Qin Yun and he put them away with a wave of his hand.

…

Dragon Mountain world. Thousand Revolutions Dragon Lake.

Qin Yun stood by the side of the lake. As he looked at it, he flipped his hand to produce an urn.

"Ba Yun, this is the Thousand Revolutions Dragon Lake, your homeworld." Qin Yun overturned the urn and let the ashes fly out. With gentle guidance from Qin Yun's Dharmic powers, the ashes scattered into the calm surface of the Thousand Revolutions Dragon Lake, stirring up several ripples.

Qin Yun watched this play out in front of his very eyes.

Following that, he triggered his disciple mark. The familiar blurry light descended upon Qin Yun before he vanished, returning him back to the Green Touring Palace.

The entire Dragon Mountain world was now in a state of unprecedented silence.

Nearly all the fiendcelestials there were dead, leaving behind a minute number who had luckily survived due to the low number of sins they had.

The curtains closed fully on this massive war.

The battle between four entities with strength above that of seventh firmament Skyimmortals.

One against three.

Qin Yun battled Old Fiend Fire Puppet, General Roc Fiend, and Demon King Prestige Goat.

Qin Yun won!

Prestige Goat perished! Old Fiend Fire Puppet and Roc Fiend only escaped by sacrificing a guardian puppet. Nearly all the fiendcelestials in Dragon Mountain world perished.

News of this battle was bound to spread throughout the Effulgent dominion. Qin Yun had managed to win despite fighting one against three. It was something that would catch the attention of various entities in the Effulgent dominion.

Qin Yun returned to Green Touring Palace immediately and went to Fiend Vanquishment Hall.

He faced the mirror as an elder's image appeared on its surface.

"Senior, I just completed the second round of tests," said Qin Yun politely.

"That fast?" The elder smiled in surprise. "I found your speed slow for the first round of tests, but you didn't take too long for the second round of tests. I wonder when you will pass the third round. However, there is no need for me to verify the third round."

Qin Yun said immediately, "Only by attaining a Golden Immortal Dao fruit would one pass the third round of tests. In the Three Realms, how many people have attained a Golden Immortal Dao fruit? I'm far from prepared."

Attaining a Golden Immortal Dao fruit was indeed a distant goal.

There were many in the Three Realms with extremely powerful combat strength, such as Yellow-robed Supremacy. They might have cultivated in great divine powers, used Connate Numinous treasures, cultivated powerful Dharmic formulations like sword immortals, or created a powerful Dharmic formulation for themselves… They could fight Golden Immortals and Buddhas at the ninth firmament Skyimmortal realm, but they were ultimately not mighty figures.

By not being a mighty figure, they would not fully realize any ploys even if they were plotted against.

It was how Yellow-robed Supremacy fell into his predicament!

"Our Green Touring Palace has not given birth to a Golden Immortal in quite a while," said the elder with a smile. "I wish for the next one to be you. Oh, by the way, you said you passed the second test. Who did you kill?"

"Prestige Goat Demon King. Slain in the Dragon Mountain world," said Qin Yun.

"Let me verify it." The elder image on the mirror's surface vanished. Scenes of Qin Yun casting the flower world to kill Demon King Prestige Goat appeared. To the side, Roc Fiend and Old Fiend Fire Puppet were trying their best to save him.

"Alright."

The elder appeared in the mirror and said with a smile, "I will send you to Star Cluster Hall."

Qin Yun's eyes lit up.

This was the greatest thing his master bestowed on disciples before attaining the Golden Immortal Dao fruit!

"Whoosh~" A void passageway warped open as a mysterious palace appeared on the other end of it.

Qin Yun knew that it was Star Cluster Hall.

His senior brother, Daoist Divine Firmament, had also entered it once.

Qin Yun took a step forward and entered the void passageway as he walked towards the mysterious palace.

As he traveled through the void passageway, it naturally dissipated behind him. Qin Yun looked up at the palace and saw the three mystical words—Star Cluster Hall. These mystical words contained the charms of the Dao.

"Legend has it that Star Cluster Hall contains many of the most powerful treasures in the Three Realms. The Green Touring Palace disciples who enter do not need to choose. The most suitable treasure in Star Cluster Hall will fly in front of them. After obtaining this treasure, one typically experiences a great surge in strength," thought Qin Yun. "However, there is only one item per person."

In the first round of tests, he had obtained the yellow-skinned calabash. There were many life-preservation items, rare and precious materials, as well as many Immortal Pills in it.

As for the second round of tests, he would be bestowed with something on entry into Star Cluster Hall. Although it was only one item, it was a lot more valuable than an entire calabash full of rare things!

"The treasures in there were placed there after Master did the selection."

"I've even heard that a senior brother obtained a supreme-grade Numinous treasure from there. Its might was close to that of a Connate Numinous treasure," thought Qin Yun.

What was a supreme-grade Numinous treasure?

Supreme-grade Numinous treasures were artifacts refined to the limit. What the Dao Ancestors refined were supreme-grade Numinous treasures.

And further up were the Connate Numinous treasures and Merit Numinous treasures.

However, as the pinnacle of artifact refinement, supreme-grade Numinous treasures did not necessarily mean that they were weaker than Connate Numinous treasures or Merit Numinous treasures.

Connate Numinous treasures also had disparate differences.

Among supreme-grade Numinous treasures, there were some which were very practical. If they had perfect synergy with an immortal or Buddha, the might released might even match that of a Connate Numinous treasure.

"Apart from supreme-grade Numinous treasures, there are many rare items. Many of them are inexplicably powerful."

"I wonder what I'll get."

Qin Yun immediately calmed his mind and stepped through the door to enter Star Cluster Hall.

The moment he entered Star Cluster Hall, it felt like he had entered a starry space. Qin Yun looked up and saw twinkling stars above him. He could vaguely sense that each star was a precious treasure.

These were all the treasured collection of the Dao Ancestor.

"What's the thing in here that suits me best?" Qin Yun suddenly sensed something as he looked into the distance high into the firmament roof. There, a dim star emitted a faint calling as it rapidly flew over and increased in size. The dim star gradually lit up and turned brighter as its aura turned stronger.

It even slowly made Qin Yun feel a horrifying sense of sharpness.
