The Dragon Emperor Star. It was a rare Emperor’s Star. Judging by its luster, brightness, and the might it radiated, its quality was superb.
If he could refine the Dragon Emperor Star into his Lifebound Star, his physique would be greatly enhanced, and he would gain the majesty of a Celestial Emperor.
Qin Feng’s eyes burned with fervor. He guessed that his connection to the Dragon Emperor Star was likely related to the Holy Dragon Pearl Essence he had absorbed in the True Dragon Cave.
Having had his flesh scoured and his soul cleansed by True Dragon Qi, Qin Feng now carried a trace of Dragon Qi.
Qin Feng could tell that the Dragon Emperor Star was currently unclaid.
"This is the one!"
A flicker of joy crossed his heart. It was rare to encounter a star of such high quality that was also a perfect match for him. He imdiately decided to move forward and brand it with a Void Mark, but just then, his body shuddered to a halt.
A strange expression appeared on Qin Feng’s face.
Another faint, almost imperceptible pull had appeared.
Resonance!
Resonance again!
To his astonishnt, Qin Feng discovered he was resonating with two stars at the sa ti!
This was exceptionally rare!
This second resonance, in particular, exerted an unparalleled attraction on his entire being. He felt an overwhelming urge to throw himself into its embrace.
Qin Feng’s expression was odd. Though he felt two resonant pulls, he could only see the Dragon Emperor Star before him.
’Curious.’ He ultimately decided to hold off on claiming the Dragon Emperor Star for now.
His gaze swept the area, following the other distinct and unusual resonant pull. As he carefully surveyed his surroundings, he slowly began to notice sothing.
To one side of the Dragon Emperor Star, Qin Feng saw a completely black star. It carried a hint of bloody light, appearing faintly in the Star River, almost illusory.
It was shaped like a blood-stained broom.
It looked very much like a "broom star."
A "broom star" symbolizes misfortune and bad luck.
But this star emanated not only misfortune and bad luck, but also calamity, Slaughter, and dominance!
Qin Feng’s gaze locked onto the star. The direction of the resonance and the ever-increasing attraction confird it: the star resonating with him was this strange one!
The mont he saw this star, Qin Feng recognized it!
This was a rare Evil Star!
His heart pounded with excitent, his expression filled with emotion. The *Mixed Elent Star Technique* described several types of stars of the highest quality. One was the star of fortune; to be blessed by it was to have great luck shine upon you.
Another was Kuixing. Kuixing was the chief of all stars, its power suppressing all others.
The last type was the Evil Star. Evil Stars possessed incredible destructive power. Refining an Evil Star into one’s Lifebound Star would significantly boost one’s combat strength.
Moreover, Evil Stars often possessed strange and uncanny powers.
These three types of stars were exceptionally rare. To encounter even one was a stroke of incredible fortune.
Clearly, while the Dragon Emperor Star was of high quality, it paled in comparison to this Evil Star.
However, the *Mixed Elent Star Technique* also stated that Evil Stars were exceptionally difficult to refine!
’I must seize this opportunity!’ His heart surged, but Qin Feng suppressed the emotion.
Calming his mind, Qin Feng closed his eyes and circulated the *Star Sensing Divine Skill* to strengthen his resonance with the Evil Star. Gradually, information about it flowed into his mind.
The Evil Star had existed for an untold number of ages.
It was born from the killing intent and Evil Qi of the earth, condensed misfortune and calamity, and the corpse of an ancient Demon God that had gestated for countless years in the Star River after its fall.
Before long, its true na appeared in Qin Feng’s mind.
The Fallen God Star!
’The Fallen God Star... a fitting na indeed!’ Qin Feng thought, suppressing his joy. His expression turned solemn. After finding a perfectly compatible star, the next step was to ditate on it and condense a Void Mark.
According to the *Mixed Elent Star Technique*, ditating on a star ant using one’s Spiritual Power to trace its form in the Void.
Only by capturing the star’s essence and condensing it into a Void Mark could Qin Feng ensure he wouldn’t lose track of it the next ti he entered the Star River.
Ti was short. Qin Feng had to successfully ditate on the star before the Sun Star rose above the horizon. Otherwise, the next ti he entered the Star River, he might find himself in a completely different Star Domain.
Qin Feng closed his eyes and, following the thod in the *Star Sensing Divine Skill*, focused all his Spiritual Power on ditating on the Fallen God Star.
ditating on the Fallen God Star was exceptionally difficult.
Concentrating his Spiritual Power, Qin Feng slowly traced a wisp of the Fallen God Star’s malevolent aura. A faint, dark star gradually took shape in the Void.
But just then, a malevolent aura as sharp as a blade erupted from the distant sky and shot toward him.
PFFT!
His Spiritual Power wavered, and the faint, dark star he had ditated into existence was instantly annihilated. All his progress was lost in a single stroke!
Qin Feng tried again. Yet, just as he was about to complete the star’s form, a streak of malevolent aura would appear in the Void and destroy his work.
The drain on Qin Feng’s Spiritual Power was imnse.
A sense of unease grew in Qin Feng. He estimated he had two more chances at most. After that, he would be forcibly ejected from the Star River.
If he was forced out this ti, he would certainly appear in a different Star Domain next ti.
That would an missing his chance with the Fallen God Star completely.
Qin Feng would not allow that to happen.
Qin Feng’s face darkened. He was beginning to understand the warning in the *Mixed Elent Star Technique*: encountering an Evil Star is difficult, but subduing one is even harder.
’But don’t think for a second I can’t handle you!’
He snorted inwardly. His stubborn streak was flaring up.
For the third ti, Qin Feng used his Spiritual Power to ditate on the Fallen God Star. A trace of blood-black energy rippled in the Void, and a pure black star was gradually traced into existence.
This star was filled with the auras of calamity, Slaughter, and Destruction.
The manifested star faintly resonated with the distant Fallen God Star, absorbing its dissipating aura and gradually solidifying.
The Void trembled slightly. Just then, an impossibly tyrannical streak of malevolent aura shot back from the distant Fallen God Star, intent on shattering the manifested star.
"Perfect timing!"
Though his Spiritual Power was focused on the ditation, Qin Feng was multitasking. He had been prepared for this. A portion of his Spiritual Power surged into the Demon Map deep within his soul.
The Abyssal Demon Map roared to life, transforming into an invisible black hole that appeared outside his manifested star. In an instant, it devoured the malevolent aura sent by the Fallen God Star.
’Now’s my chance!’
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Feng poured a portion of his Spiritual Power into the faint, dark star like a surging river.
BUZZ!
The Void trembled. The small manifested star shuddered, instantly shifting from illusory to real. It solidified completely, transforming into a unique Void Mark that attached itself to the Fallen God Star.
The Void Mark began to absorb the Fallen God Star’s aura, clinging to it like an inseparable plaster.
He had no ti to celebrate. A black vortex suddenly ford in the Void, pulling his consciousness into its depths.
The next mont, on the Celestial Pool Lakefront, Qin Feng’s eyes snapped open, his face pale.
’I’m back!’
He had been forced out of the first layer of the Star River because he had consud too much Spiritual Power to maintain his presence there.
Qin Feng looked up. The stars were sparse in the night sky, and the darkness had not yet receded. He estimated it was probably still the Hour of the Tiger, a few hours before dawn.
Qin Feng closed his eyes for a mont. He could faintly sense a tenuous connection to a star in the distant Star River.
"I succeeded!"
Qin Feng opened his eyes, a look of unconcealable joy shining within them.
