Chapter 296: Nine Nether Changes

Standing in front of the exit of the Star Labyrinth, Gu Yang saw a vast expanse of land and sky, where the power of the stars seemed particularly bright and pure.

He was extremely excited. Along the way, he had experienced countless challenges and trials. Every battle made his will more determined and the power of the stars more powerful.

He did not hesitate, took a step, and walked out of the maze step by step.

When his foot took the last step, the maze wall behind him slowly closed, as if it had never existed.

Gu Yang looked back, his heart full of emotion for this experience, but he knew that his journey had just begun.

Gu Yang stood outside the maze, surrounded by an unknown world.

The power of the stars flowed in his body, and he could feel the vastness and mystery of this world.

He knew that he would continue to pursue the path of the stars here and explore deeper secrets.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes, with a gleam of determination in his eyes.

His eyes penetrated the void, and he seemed to be able to see the distant future. His heart was full of desire for the unknown and the pursuit of power.

Gu Yang began to explore this unknown world, his steps were firm and powerful.

His figure seemed particularly lonely under the starlight, but his heart was unusually strong and calm.

He was not afraid of any difficulties and challenges, because he was accompanied by the power of the stars.

Not long after, Gu Yang found a stone tablet standing on the ground.

The stone tablet was not tall, only as high as Gu Yang's chest, and the surface was covered with traces of erosion by the years, as if it had been standing here countless years ago, witnessing endless wind, frost, rain and snow.

The material of the stone tablet did not seem to be ordinary stone, but a deep blue rock, covered with fine star patterns, which flickered faintly in the sun, like stars in the night sky.

The shape of the stone tablet was somewhat irregular, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, like an inverted sword, with the tip slightly tilted toward the sky, giving people an impulse to pierce the sky.

There were no flowers, plants or trees around the stele, only dry land and scattered stones. This desolate environment formed a sharp contrast with the star patterns on the stele.

Gu Yang stared at the star stele and felt an indescribable attraction.

He approached the stele, stretched out his hand and gently touched the star patterns. The cold touch spread from his fingertips to his whole body. His star power seemed to resonate with the patterns on the stele.

He noticed that there was a concave circular pattern in the center of the stele, which seemed to be part of a star array.

Gu Yang's heart moved, and he put his palm on the circular pattern, and the star power naturally flowed into it.

The stele suddenly vibrated, and the star patterns began to become active, and the light gradually became stronger.

Then, the star patterns on the stele seemed to be activated, and rays of light intertwined on the surface of the stele, forming complex star maps.

Gu Yang felt a strong flow of information pouring into his mind, which was the ancient knowledge and power contained in the star stele.

His consciousness seemed to merge with the stele. He saw the birth of stars, the operation of galaxies, and the vastness of the universe.

At this moment, Gu Yang seemed to stand at the end of time and touch the mystery of the universe.

His star power was sublimated at this moment, and his soul was purified in this endless ocean of knowledge.

When Gu Yang came back to his senses from this mysterious state, he found that his star power had made a qualitative leap, and his eyes were shining with brighter starlight.

He knew that the star stele had given him unprecedented power and guided him to a more vast star road.

Gu Yang retracted his palm, and the light on the stele gradually dissipated, and his face returned to its original calm.

But in his heart, it was still turbulent and could not be calmed.

At this time, in his mind, a bright starlight was blooming.

This was the manifestation of the inherited skills he had just obtained in the stele.

The skill is called "Star Body Refining Technique", which is a powerful skill for condensing star power and strengthening the body.

Unfortunately, there are only the first three chapters of this technique on the stone tablet.

Obviously, if Gu Yang wants to get the subsequent content of the technique, he has to keep going forward.

Although Gu Yang understood this situation, he did not set out immediately, but sat directly in front of the stone tablet and began to silently practice the "Star Body Refining Technique".

At this time, Gu Yang sat cross-legged, with his hands flat on his knees, his eyes firm and focused.

He silently recited the practice formula of "Star Body Refining Technique" three times, then took a deep breath and began to try to circulate the star power in his body.

With the guidance of his thoughts, the star power in his body slowly flowed through his meridians like a summoned star.

At the beginning, this power did not flow smoothly, and even blocked some meridians at the intersection, causing Gu Yang to feel a little pain.

But Gu Yang did not stop because he knew that this was a necessary path in the early stage of practice.

He concentrated his mind and breath, trying again and again, and gradually, he felt that the star power in his body began to adapt to this flow pattern.

Time passed bit by bit, Gu Yang practiced with full concentration, and his body began to emit a faint blue light, which was the halo formed by the star power on the surface of his body.

As the practice deepened, the halo became brighter and brighter, as if countless stars were spinning around him, dazzling.

Suddenly, the star power in Gu Yang's body burst out with amazing light at a certain moment, and a powerful energy surged from his body and rushed straight into the sky.

He felt that his body was recast, and every muscle and every bone became tougher under the refining of the star power.

This feeling was both novel and painful, but Gu Yang had no intention of retreating. He gritted his teeth and let his willpower support his body to withstand this change.

He knew that this was the body refining effect brought by the "Star Refining Body Art", and it was the only way for him to reach a higher realm.

As time went on, Gu Yang's body gradually adapted to this intensity of practice, and the pain began to subside.

He felt that his whole body became lighter, as if he could take off at any time and dance with the stars.

After several hours, Gu Yang slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed with unprecedented sharpness.

He knew that his strength had been significantly improved, and even his perception had become more acute.

He stood up, and every movement of his body seemed extremely smooth.

Gu Yang looked into the distance, and his desire and pursuit in his heart became stronger.

He knew that he was one step closer to the end of the Star Road.

Without any extra stops, Gu Yang put away his mind and prepared to continue his journey.

He looked deeply at the stone tablet, silently thanked this star stone tablet that gave him strength, then turned around and took steps.

One step, two steps...

After taking three steps, Gu Yang's body froze instantly.

Huhu--

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that in his body, the power of the stars and the power of the Nine Netherworld had a fierce confrontation.

This sudden and fierce collision instantly tore his body apart.

Gu Yang was so painful that he almost knelt down, but he endured it and didn't let himself fall.

He could feel that the power of the stars and the power of the Nine Netherworld in his body collided with each other, as if two huge tides were stirring in his meridians, and every confrontation caused his body to suffer a huge impact.

He knew that if he could not calm down the conflict between the two forces as soon as possible, his body might not be able to bear it, and even his life might be in danger.

Gu Yang gritted his teeth, and he tried to mobilize his will to guide the two forces.

His consciousness went deep into his body, observing the operation paths of the power of the stars and the power of the Nine Netherworld, trying to find a balance point.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his face was pale, but his eyes were extremely firm.

He knew that this was a major test in his cultivation career, and he could not fail.

However, to Gu Yang's surprise, no matter what method he used, he could not calm the restlessness of the two forces.

It seemed that these two forces were originally as incompatible as fire and water, and could not coexist at all.

For a while, Gu Yang could only grit his teeth and hold on, and he could not think of a solution at all.

Gu Yang's brows were tightly knitted, and the unbearable pain made his mind blurred, but deep in his heart, an unyielding will surged.

He was unwilling to give up just like that, and unwilling to let his cultivation path end here.

He forced himself to calm down and began to think about solutions.

However, before he could come up with a solution, the Nine Nether Power in his body seemed to sense the increasing restlessness of the Star Power, and suddenly it started to work in reverse.

As the Nine Nether Power worked in reverse, suddenly, the Nine Nether Power in his body began to completely fade away, transforming into a strong vitality.

"This..."

Gu Yang's eyes lit up.

As the Nine Nether Power was completely transformed into the vitality, the restlessness of the Star Power calmed down instantly.

At this moment, Gu Yang felt an unprecedented sense of relief, the vitality flowed through his body, and every meridian was full of vitality.

His wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, the pain subsided quickly, and was replaced by a feeling of full power.

He stood up, feeling the changes in the power in his body, and a sense of enlightenment emerged in his heart.

It turned out that the Nine Nether Power could not coexist with the Star Power.

As long as he accepted the inheritance of the Star Power, he would definitely detonate the Nine Nether Power in his body.

If his Nine Nether Power was not transformed from the vitality power, he would definitely not survive this time.

He would die!

They will definitely die!

He suddenly thought of the other team members, and they might have fallen into a trap this time.

Fortunately, he was essentially a person from another world, and the Nine Nether Power in his body was converted from other powers.

Otherwise, he would also suffer.

Gu Yang's heart was filled with complex emotions.

He deeply understood that although he was lucky to escape, other team members might not have such an opportunity.

Unfortunately, he could do nothing to help this disaster.

All he could do was to avenge them when he left the inheritance land later.

As for now, he wanted to see what other tests there were behind this inheritance land.

Anyway, even if he went out now, it would be too late.

Gu Yang adjusted his breathing, feeling the new feeling brought by the fusion of the vitality and the star power in his body, and his mentality became more determined.

He knew that the road ahead was still long, and he had to keep moving forward to face more trials.

In this way, he could get more star inheritance.

He looked around and found that not far from the stone tablet, there was a path paved with gravel, and there seemed to be a flashing area at the end of the path.

Gu Yang did not hesitate and walked towards the light.

The path was not flat, and the gravel was sharp. Every step had to be careful to avoid being cut.

But Gu Yang's steps were unusually steady, as if these obstacles did not exist for him.

He had only one thought in his mind, that is, to pass this third stage of the trial to gain more power.

After walking through the path, Gu Yang came to an open area with a huge circular arena. There was a high platform in the center of the arena, and something seemed to be waiting for him on the high platform.

Gu Yang walked up to the high platform and found that it was an ancient star array disk, which was covered with complex runes and star maps. There was a groove in the center, and it seemed that something was needed to start it.

He observed it carefully and found that this star array disk was similar to the star array map on the stone tablet before.

With a thought in his mind, he condensed the star power in his hand into a ball of light and slowly put it into the groove of the array.

As the ball of light merged, the entire star array began to emit a dazzling light, and the runes and star maps seemed to come alive and began to rotate.

Gu Yang felt an invisible force gathering on the high platform, and he knew that this was the beginning of the third stage of the trial.

Suddenly, circles of halos appeared around the arena, and warriors wearing ancient armor walked out of the halos. Their eyes were empty, holding weapons, and attacked Gu Yang.

Gu Yang immediately entered the combat state, and his body became more agile under the blessing of the star power.

The long sword in his hand danced, and the sword light streaked across the night sky like a meteor, and every swing took away the shadow of a warrior.

The battle lasted for an unknown period of time, and Gu Yang's forehead was covered with sweat, but his eyes were still firm.

He knew that these warriors were just illusions created by the star array, and only by defeating them could he pass the trial.

Finally, after Gu Yang defeated the illusion of the last warrior, the aura of the arena disappeared, and the star array on the platform stopped rotating.

Gu Yang felt a strong force pouring into his body from the platform, and his star power was enhanced again.

Gu Yang stood on the platform and took a deep breath. He knew that this was just a small challenge on the road of inheritance, and the real test was still to come.

He stared ahead, where a light door was slowly opening, as if calling him to enter the unknown world behind the door. (End of this chapter)
