Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 488 The Awakening of Stellar Power and Unknown Crisis

The power of the stars surged into Zhang Peng's body, resonating intensely with the laws of chaos. His body shone brightly, and runes flickered. In an instant, he felt as if he were in the universe, with countless stars within reach. The laws of time and space swept through his mind, and countless pieces of information flooded in like a tide.

"Zhang Peng!" Murong Yu called out anxiously, trying to wake him from his strange state. Liu Ruoli and Su Yi were also filled with worry, standing by but not knowing what to do. The three watched nervously as Zhang Peng's brows furrowed and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, as if he were under immense pressure.

Suddenly, Zhang Peng opened his eyes, a starlight flashing within them. His entire demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation, as if he had been reborn. "I have sensed the mystery of the power of the stars illuminating the world," he said in a steady voice, tinged with barely concealed excitement.

Murong Yu asked in surprise, "Really? Then tell me quickly, how powerful is this?"

Zhang Peng took a deep breath and slowly said, "The power of the Stars Shining Brightly is extremely complex. It allows me to perceive the flow of time and even briefly influence its speed. At the same time, my control over space has reached a new level, enabling me to teleport long distances and create independent spaces."

Liu Ruoli asked curiously, "How much will cultivating this power help us cope with future crises?"

Zhang Peng frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "This power is incredibly strong, but it is by no means easy to fully master. I have only grasped it to a preliminary extent, and there is still a long way to go before I can use it proficiently. However, even if I only grasp it to a preliminary extent, it can play a huge role at crucial moments."

The four found a secluded spot in the ruins, and Zhang Peng began to try cultivating the power of the Starry Sky. He sat down on the ground, placed the Star Core in his palm, closed his eyes, concentrated, and guided the power of the stars to flow through his body. Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, and Su Yi stood guard beside him, alert to any movements around them.

The cultivation process was far from smooth. The power of the stars was immense and violent, and the slightest carelessness could cause enormous damage to the body. Zhang Peng gritted his teeth, relying on his unwavering will and profound understanding of the laws of chaos to tame this power. As his cultivation deepened, his control over the power of the stars gradually became more proficient, and the power of the stars within his body grew increasingly stronger.

However, while Zhang Peng was immersed in cultivation, a subtle change was taking place in the outside world. In a distant, dark land, a mysterious power was quietly rising. A mysterious figure in black robes stood before an ancient altar, his figure shrouded in darkness, his face obscured. The altar flickered with an eerie light, creating a strange resonance with the stellar power within the ruins where Zhang Peng and his companions were.

"Hmph, someone is actually trying to awaken the power of the Stars Shining Across the World," the man in black said coldly. "However, is this power so easy to control? Let me see how long you can hold out."

The man in black robes swiftly formed hand seals, and a surge of dark power flowed from his hands, pouring into the altar. The light on the altar instantly intensified, and a black beam of light pierced through the void, shooting towards the ruins where Zhang Peng and the others were.

At this moment, Murong Yu, who was guarding the ruins, suddenly felt a strong sense of danger. He immediately stood up and looked around warily. "Danger is approaching, everyone be careful!" he shouted.

Liu Ruoli and Su Yi quickly prepared for battle. Liu Ruoli placed the jade flute to her lips and played the "Sonic Chaos Shield," while Su Yi cast a dark spell to condense a black shield.

Zhang Peng was also awakened by Murong Yu's shout. He opened his eyes, which shimmered with starlight. He sensed the approaching dark power, and his expression turned serious. "This dark power is very strong; it seems different from anything we've encountered before," he said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the black light shot into the ruins. The light transformed into a huge black vortex, within which countless black lightning bolts flashed, hurtling towards Zhang Peng and the others.

"Everyone be careful, this is a dark vortex!" Zhang Peng shouted, unleashing the "Chaos Law Shield" to protect the four of them. At the same time, he used the power of the Starry Sky to try to withstand the attack of the dark vortex.

The dark vortex spun wildly, relentlessly battering Zhang Peng's Chaos Law Shield. The shield flickered erratically, on the verge of shattering. Murong Yu wielded the Chaos Breeze Sword, unleashing its ultimate technique, "Chaos Breeze Sword," its sword energy crisscrossing as it attacked the dark vortex. Liu Ruoli played "Sonic Chaos Impact," the sound waves transforming into sharp blades that shot towards the dark vortex. Su Yi unleashed a forbidden dark technique, black light colliding with the dark vortex in an attempt to weaken its power.

With the combined efforts of the four, the dark vortex's attack was temporarily suppressed. However, they knew this was only temporary; the dark vortex's power was immense, and they had to find a way to break it as soon as possible, or the consequences would be unimaginable…
