Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 490 The Transformation of Stellar Power and the Pursuit by Dark Forces

Inside the secret chamber, the power of the stars flowed like a lively stream through Zhang Peng's meridians, deeply merging with his soul. The old man's gemstone continued to enhance his aura, which steadily increased. His consciousness seemed to detach from his body, roaming among the vast and boundless cosmos, witnessing the birth and fall of stars, sensing the vicissitudes of time, and touching the subtle folds of space.

As his understanding deepened, Zhang Peng's body began to undergo wondrous changes. A faint starlight emanated from his skin, and his eyes sparkled with brilliant starlight, as if containing endless mysteries. With each breath he took, he stirred the surrounding stellar power, forming tiny vortexes of starlight.

Outside the secret chamber, Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, and Su Yi stood guard vigilantly. They knew the dark forces would not give up easily and could strike again at any moment. The three spread out around the chamber, each casting spells to create defensive barriers in the air. Murong Yu's Chaotic Breeze Sword Qi danced along the edges of the barriers, Liu Ruoli's sonic power wove an invisible net, and Su Yi concealed himself in the shadows using dark magic, ready to respond to any unexpected situation.

At this moment, an elite squad from the dark forces had already quietly infiltrated the ruins. They were dressed in black night clothes, their faces covered with black cloth, revealing only pairs of cold eyes. The squad leader held a mysterious compass in his hand, its pointer spinning wildly, pointing towards the secret chamber where Zhang Peng was located.

"The target is right ahead. Move quickly and take them out before they can react!" the captain ordered in a low voice.

The team members moved with ghostly speed towards the secret chamber, the magical artifacts in their hands gleaming with a dark light and emanating a chilling aura. However, their actions still alerted Murong Yu, who was guarding outside.

"Enemies ahead!" Murong Yu shouted, unleashing the "Chaotic Breeze Demon-Slaying Spin," a sharp sword aura slashing towards the dark forces squad. The air was torn apart by the sword aura, producing a piercing sound.

The members of the dark forces squad scrambled to avoid the attack, simultaneously unleashing dark magic to counterattack. Beams of black light shot towards Murong Yu, who quickly activated a Chaos Law Shield to defend himself. Liu Ruoli and Su Yi also swiftly joined the battle. Liu Ruoli played a "Sonic Chaos Storm," the sound waves transforming into powerful energy that formed a massive vortex, engulfing the dark forces squad. Su Yi, on the other hand, used forbidden dark techniques, clashing with the dark forces' magic. In an instant, light flashed and spiritual energy overflowed.

Zhang Peng, awakened from his secret chamber by the sounds of battle outside, slowly opened his eyes, the starlight within them shining even brighter. He had now grasped the essence of the Starry Sky's Radiant Power, and his strength had been greatly enhanced.

"Is it the forces of darkness?" Zhang Peng muttered to himself. "In that case, let them witness the power of the Starry Sky's Radiance."

Zhang Peng stood up and stepped out of the secret chamber. With a wave of his hand, the power of the stars instantly converged, forming a massive star shield in front of him. Mysterious runes shimmered on the star shield, radiating immense power.

"You dark minions, today is your doom!" Zhang Peng roared. He unleashed his ultimate technique, "Star Shattering Fist," which possessed the power of a radiant star. With a single punch, countless stars seemed to appear in the air as he smashed towards the dark forces team.

The members of the dark forces squad watched in horror, unleashing their strongest defensive spells. However, under the powerful attack of the Starry Sky's Radiance, their defenses were as fragile as paper. The starlight instantly engulfed them, eliciting screams of agony.

Seeing this, the leader of the dark forces squad was filled with fear. He knew that today's operation had failed and he had to escape as soon as possible. He swiftly used a dark escape technique, transforming into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing from everyone's sight.

Having dealt with the dark forces squad, Zhang Peng and his team remained vigilant. They knew this was merely a probing attack by the dark forces, and a greater crisis lay ahead.

“We must leave here as soon as possible; the dark forces will definitely not let this go,” Zhang Peng said.

Everyone nodded in agreement. They packed their belongings and left the ruins. On their way out, Zhang Peng continuously tried to comprehend the power of the illuminating stars, attempting to master its application. He knew that only by constantly improving his strength could he protect the peace of the cultivation world in the impending dark storm…
