Chapter 510: Celestial Emperor Bamboo!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

The two Star Gods were exceptionally domineering, and were not something that these gangster rabbits who’d advanced in strength so flippantly could compare with.

The Extreme Yin Star God only stood motionlessly on the same spot, her entire body wrapped in a layer of moon-white radiance.

She did not make any movements, but the three gangster rabbits before her suddenly grew crazy as their eyes went red. Following that, they directly attacked their companions beside them.

In a short time, the remaining 10-plus gangster rabbits had all been killed. The three Star Gods also disappeared.

‘What kind of martial ability is that? It’s like some kind of external incarnation manifestation.’

Lu Bu’s eyeballs almost dropped out of their sockets. The family head was understandably strong to begin with, but with three other incarnations not any weaker than him assisting him, there were scarcely any opponents that could face him in the Hundred Year realm!

‘Although they’d ony appeared for a brief moment, my storage of Stellar Energy has depleted by a quarter. I’ll need at least three days to regain it. Although this is just a small flaw, this bit of flaw is not really much if the profit that can be gained using it is enough.’

Bei Feng’s furrowed brows was finaly loosened. Each of the three Star Gods’ strength had already reached the level of the half-step Thousand Year King realm. Ordinary Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer cultivators would not even be a match for him.

‘The Star Guardian realm is equivalent to the Thousand Year King realm, and breaking through to the Star Guardian realm requires one to brand the Stars’ projection into the Star Palace. Although the Star Gods and the Star Palace would be merged together, none of them would be affected in their regular functions. In fact, I can even borrow the power of the Star Gods, turning them into a Star Branding when the time is ripe!’

Bei Feng calculated his losses and gains; basically, the mergence of the Star Palace and the Star Gods only brought him benefits, and no harm.

“Go over there and see if that fellow’s dead already or not. If he’s not dead, carry him and take him with us.” Bei Feng furrowed his brows as he smelt the heavy scent of blood in the air. The number of Demonic Beasts inside the Hundred Break Mountain Range could be described as nearly endless; it was naturally not possible to stop here for a long time. With current state of the group, they were in no condition to continue fighting.

“Yes!” Lu Bu nodded his head. His body was also injured; afterall, the entire small team had relied mainly on him to absorb the attacks of the gangster rabbits. The other nine people also carried injuries of varying degrees.

Lu Bu went over and checked before reporting back. “Family Head, this man is not dead yet, but his injuries are very heavy. Do we really have to save this person? He didn’t approach us with good intentions.”

“En, bring him along, let’s go.” Bei Feng nodded his head, not offering any explanations as he took the lead to leave in a selected direction. The rest also hurried to catch up without another word.

Inside a spacious cave somewhere, Bei Feng’s group was resting and tending to their injuries. The air in the cave was dry, and a strange smell lingered in it.

The original owner of the cave was currently roasting slowly above a fire, emanating a sweet fragrance.

The two girls, Lu Bing and Lu Yu, were sitting cross-legged on the ground. Their auras fluctuated unsteadily.

“Break!”

Lu Bing’s voice rose as the robes on her body fluttered wildly without any wind blowing there. Dense Heaven Earth Lingqi surged in from all directions, pouring into her body.

Beside her, Lu Yu’s aura seemed to have been led by Lu Bing’s breakthrough as it shrunk and abruptly burst upwards as well!

The two had been stuck in the peak of the Third Layer for quite a long time already. Today, after experiencing a tough battle, they finally managed to break through

Bei Feng raised his head and said with a chuckle, “Lu Bu, go and bring two more Demonic Beasts back.”

“Yes!” Lu Bu nodded and left with large steps. He also understood that Lu Bing and Lu Yu would need large amounts of nutrition after breaking through.

‘Gangster rabbits, opportunity.’ A glint flashed Bei Feng’s eyes, and nobody knew what he was thinking about.

Li Wei lay on the ground on the side. If not for his chest still rising and falling, anyone would think that he was already dead.

Li Wei had already been fed with some recovery pills, and he had already passed the most dangerous stage. The only question now was when he would wake up.

Bei Feng was certain that this person knew information that he didn’t. For instance, what kind of lucky opportunity did these gangster rabbits find…

Temporarily casting the thought out of his head, he calmed his heart, and began to study the Yin-Yang legacy’s legacy.

In addition to the three beginning Star Arts, seven more Star Arts had appeared.

There were two support style Star Arts; one was the Star Light art, which was used to boost one’s speed, and the other was the Star Ring art, a technique that could be attached to an enemy to slow down their speed. For defense, he had the Star Guard technique; for attacks, he had the Star Reflection, Star Destruction Art, and the Supernova attack! Finally, he had also unlocked a Star Formation, the Minor Stellar Circuit Attacking Formation. After laying down the formation, it would form a huge inescapable net, drawing the power of the stars and planets to kill the opponent!

The strength of the support Star Arts, as well as the attacking Star Arts were incredibly powerful, while the Star Formation was an ultimate killing technique!

These Star Arts required Bei Feng to slowly carve out their model again and again, imprinting them into his Star Palace. It was fortunate that his soul was powerful, causing his comprehension to increase by a level. It actually wasn’t too difficult to unravel the mysteries behind the different Star Arts.

The Star Formation did not need to be imprinted onto the Star Palace. The Star Formation only needed the Stellar Energy it was paired with to match with it, as well as a high level of calculation ability. Apart from that, it only required the formation setting items to make it work.

“The most difficult thing with the Star Formation is the conformity with stellar energy. Followed by that is gathering the materials to set up the formation. But after the formation is laid out, even ordinary Thousand Year Kings would need to kneel down if they encountered it!” Bei Feng murmured happily to himself.

He could not help growing excited at the thought of it. This power was capable of skipping a large realm to kill his enemies!

Time slowly passed, and the numerous points of starlight revolved gently around Bei Feng’s fingertips.

This was the Star Ring art, a technique used to slow down an opponent’s speed. Bei Feng had only just comprehended it, and was still not familiar with controlling the skill. Even so, to master it to such a level within half a day was already an extremely shocking testament to his talent.

After some time, he opened his eyes. Lu Bing and Lu Yu had already entered the final stretch of their breakthrough. Powerful blood Qi aura gushed out of their bodies, and within an area of a hundred meters, not a single beast or bird dared to make a sound.

Three Demonic Beasts that had yet to be cleaned were stacked at the side into a small hill. Atop the roasting pit, a bear-type Demonic Beast emanated a thick fragrance as it was barbequed into a golden brown color. A few guards stood around the fire, adding all kinds of seasoning and ingredients onto the bear from time to time, and even smearing over it numerous layers of honey obtained from Demonic Beast grade bees.

Bei Feng smacked his lips as he tasted the meat. These Demonic Beast flesh was exceptionally beneficial to the human body. A few guards were cutting the beast with a knife, handing the nicely plated meat to Bei Feng.

A while later, Lu Bing and Lu Yu’s auras had completely retracted back into their bodies. When they arose from their cultivation, their stomachs were also growling heavily.

Qi refining was like refining essence into Qi. The essence Qi in a person’s body was limited. After being refined into blood Qi, their bodies were naturally emptied out, and they needed large amounts of food and nutrients.

If they did not replenish that energy quickly, their newly advanced cultivation could fall back down again. Following that, the two ate like ravished tigers, and their auras began to rise noticably.

This was the reason why everytime a person broke through, they would experience a period of rapid growth.

When a person just finished breaking through, their potential was not fully drawn out due to their bodies not having enough nutrition. The growth would only be complete after external energy was introduced into the body.

“You guys have obtained great benefits from a misfortune, and a few of you even broke through to the Fourth Layer of the Hundred Year realm. However, you’re still too weak, I’ll try to think of something for your cultivation techniques later on. The Hundred Year realm is definitely not the limits of your abilities!” Bei Feng said with a light smile to everyone.

When they heard the words that Bei Feng had said, their eyes which were filled with envy when they looked at Lu Bing and Lu Yu turned into looks of excitement and agitation for their own future.

The strong would grow stronger, while the weak would grow weaker. All the high-grade cultivation techniques of this world were held in the hands of the large families, the martial alliance, or the government. The cultivation techniques that ordinary people could access were only the lousy stuff that was circulated on the common market.

Most people would basically never get the opportunity to attack the Thousand Year King realm. The value of a good cultivation technique was also completely inestimable.

“We swear undying loyalty to the family head!” Including Lu Bu, every single guard fell onto their knees, their eyes hot with passion.

“Get up.” Bei Feng nodded with approval, not saying much else. The stronger the faction under him was, the more relaxed he would naturally become. Whatever resources he wanted would simply be delivered to him if the strength of his followers were strong enough.

At midmight, the pale light of the moon fell down over the land. The dense forest only received a pittance of moonlight, and the roars of countless Demonic Beasts could be heard from within it.

“Ke, ke!”

A frail coughing sound rang out from the darkness.

Lu Bu went forward to investigate, and he poured some warm water that’d been mixed with medicine into Li Wei’s mouth.

“Ke, ke, I’m… not dead?” Li Wei opened his eyes as he sputtered weakly.

Bei Feng walked towards Li Wei slowly and said, “You’re not dead; however, your life comes with a price.

“The gangster rabbits had suddenly risen in strength, and I believe that this place will soon become the battlefield for many cultivators. However, most of those cultivators will probably not know what kind of lucky opportunity caused the gangster rabbits’ rise?”

Li Wei smiled lightly at this, and his chest rose slightly. However, this bit of movement had exhausted him, and a painful expression appeared on his face.

“I’m quite curious about this matter, you don’t mind telling me, right?” Bei Feng was also extremely curious what kind of thing it was that could cause a small and weak species grow strong like this all of a sudden, If he could lay his hands on that thing, even if he couldn’t use it for himself, he could use it to nurture his own faction.

“Cough, cough, do you know what the Celestial Emperor Bamboo is?” Li Wei suddenly asked.

“Hiss!” Bei Feng’s face instantly changed as soon as Li Wei’s words rang out. Even Lu Bu also sucked in a breath of cold air.

“Cough, cough, looks like you know already. Haha, if those cultivators outside know that the thing that’d appeared this time is the Celestial Emperor Bamboo, my guess is that even Thousand Year King realm experts would not be able to resist the temptation?”

Li Wei coughed and laughed at the same time.

Bei Feng endured the shock in his mind as he asked, “Apart from you, who else know about this matter?”

He truly could not be blamed for acting in this way. It was the Celestial Emperor Bamboo, duh! The last time it appeared was over a thousand years ago!

That time, nine stalks of Celestial Emperor Bamboo had appeared, it was obtained by three sects and one clan. Before that, these three sects and one clan were only mid-level powers. But today, they were top-grade powers, on par with the seven sects and five clans of the martial alliance!

The top-grade powers were truly gargantuan existences. They even had their own Heaven Connecting Towers, and even their Thousand Year King realm experts were not few!

80 percent of the success in their rapid rise in strength could be attributed to the Celestial Emperor Bamboo!

Celestial Emperor Bamboo took 3,000 years to germinate after planting, another 3,000 years to grow out of the ground, and 3,000 more years to grow into a bamboo. It took another 9,000 years to bear fruit, and 9,000 more years for the fruit to ripen!

From the time it took to grow from a seedling to producing a ripe fruit, the entire process took 27,000 years!
