The dust settled, Zhang Cheng calmed his breathing, and the light on the star energy blade gradually dissipated. The huge corpse of the giant lizard lay not far away, reminding him of the danger he had just experienced. The Dragon Star Sage stood aside, his eyes full of admiration, but more of a deep expectation.

"Follow me." The Dragon Star Sage turned around and walked towards the area flashing with strange light. Zhang Cheng followed closely behind him, his heart filled with uneasiness about the unknown.

This area seemed to be isolated from the world. A strange energy fluctuation permeated the air. Visible energy flows were like swimming light snakes, weaving and shuttling through the void.

"This is the trial ground of Dragon Star, called 'Sea of Stardust'." The Dragon Star Sage stopped and pointed ahead and said, "The energy flow you see is the protective power of our Dragon Star, and it is also the greatest test for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding energy flows began to surge wildly as if they had received some kind of command, forming energy vortices that were visible to the naked eye and swept towards Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng suddenly felt a huge pressure. These energy flows contained extremely powerful forces, as if they were going to tear him apart. He mobilized the star energy in his body to form a protective barrier on his body surface to resist the impact of the energy flow.

"Concentrate your mind, feel the flow of energy, and find the rules in it!" The voice of the Dragon Star Sage seemed a little vague amid the roar of energy, but it was clearly heard by Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth and tried to keep himself calm. He closed his eyes and released his perception to feel every move of the energy flow around him.

At first, he only felt chaos and violence, but as time went on, he gradually discovered that these energy flows were not completely disordered. They seemed to have their own rhythm and were operating according to some ancient laws.

Zhang Cheng tried to adjust his breathing and the frequency of his star energy, trying to resonate with the energy flow around him. Gradually, he felt that he had established a wonderful connection with this "sea of stardust".

The impact of the energy flow was still fierce, but the fear in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by an inexplicable excitement and desire. He knew that he was experiencing an unprecedented transformation...

In the distance, the Dragon Star Sage who witnessed all this showed a gratified smile. However, behind a towering tree not far behind him, a dark shadow quietly flashed by, and a pair of cold eyes were staring at Zhang Cheng through the gaps between the leaves, with an evil arc at the corner of his mouth, which belonged to Luo He's sneer.

"Zhang Cheng, do you think you can pass the test like this?" Luo He thought to himself. A black energy ball quietly appeared in his hand, emitting a frightening aura. "The good show has just begun..."

At this moment, a figure appeared silently behind the Dragon Star Sage. It was Du Yun. He looked at Zhang Cheng who was surrounded by the energy flow, his eyes full of worry. He was about to say something, but was stopped by the Dragon Star Sage.

"This is his test," said the Dragon Star Sage firmly, "No one can interfere, and no one can interfere..." "But..." Du Yun wanted to say something, but was stopped by a sharp look from the Dragon Star Sage. He knew the Dragon Star Sage's temper very well, so he had to swallow his worried words, but his eyes never left Zhang Cheng who was surrounded by the energy flow.

The test of the "Sea of Stardust" was far more dangerous than imagined. The violent energy flow was like a roaring beast, attacking Zhang Cheng's defense again and again. He felt as if his body was about to be torn apart, and the star energy was also rapidly consumed.

"Hold on, Zhang Cheng! Feel it with your heart and find the pattern!" The voice of the Dragon Star Sage was faintly visible in the roar of energy, like a guiding light, allowing Zhang Cheng to grasp a glimmer of hope in despair.

Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth, endured the physical and mental pain, and tried to keep himself awake. He knew that he could not give up, nor could he rely on anyone, this was his own battle.

He closed his eyes and released all his senses to capture every movement and every fluctuation of the energy flow. Gradually, he discovered that these seemingly chaotic and disordered energy flows were actually moving along a certain special trajectory, like a grand and mysterious cosmic dance.

He tried to understand the rhythm of this "dance", to predict the direction of each energy flow and the intensity of each impact. He began to consciously adjust his breathing, his pace, and the frequency of the release of star energy, allowing himself to gradually integrate into this cosmic "dance".

A miracle happened without us noticing.

The originally violent energy flow seemed to sense Zhang Cheng's change, the impact gradually weakened, and the frequency began to become regular. Zhang Cheng felt the pressure on himself suddenly reduced, and the star energy that was about to be exhausted began to slowly recover.

He opened his eyes, which were gleaming with excitement. He knew that he had found the key to cracking the "Sea of Stardust" and he had touched the dawn of victory!

In the distance, Du Yun, who had been paying attention to all this, couldn't help but smile with relief. However, the Dragon Star Sage still frowned, looking deeply into the depths of the "Stardust Sea", as if he had noticed something unusual, but he didn't say it, just whispered to himself: "I hope everything goes well..."

At this time, Luo He, who was hiding in the dark, watched Zhang Cheng gradually adapt to the attack of the energy flow, and his face became more and more gloomy. He sneered, took out a black rune stone from his arms, muttered a few words, and then crushed it violently...

Deep in the "Sea of Stardust", the originally calm energy flow suddenly became violent, and waves of invisible waves spread silently in the direction of Zhang Cheng... Zhang Cheng was immersed in the joy of cracking the "Sea of Stardust" and had no idea that danger was quietly approaching.

The depths of the "Sea of Stardust" are not empty. Some low-level star beasts live there. They live by absorbing the dissipated star energy. They rarely move on weekdays and dare not approach areas with violent energy fluctuations.

However, Luo He had already bribed several "energy-eating beasts" in this area. Although these star beasts were not of high level, they were numerous and could devour star energy to strengthen their own attacks. Under Luo He's instructions, they hid under the cover of energy flow and approached Zhang Cheng silently like ghosts.

"Now, attack!" Luo He hid in the dark, and his cold voice was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

As soon as he finished speaking, several black shadows rushed out from the energy flow and pounced on Zhang Cheng with their fangs and claws. Zhang Cheng was caught off guard and was hit by several "energy-eating beasts". The protective star energy was instantly torn apart, and the severe pain made him groan.

“What’s going on?!” Zhang Cheng was shocked and quickly steadied himself, activating the star energy to form a new layer of defense on his body surface.

“Energy Devouring Beast?!” Du Yun immediately recognized the Star Beast that attacked Zhang Cheng. His expression immediately turned ugly. “Damn it! It was Luo He who did this!”

"Despicable!" A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the Dragon Star Sage, but he soon regained his composure. He formed seals with his hands, as if he wanted to attack, but finally stopped and just stared at the changes in the "Sea of Stardust".

The enraged "Energy Devourer" attacked Zhang Cheng even more frantically, its sharp claws tearing through the air, with a piercing sound, constantly bombarding his body-protecting star energy. While Zhang Cheng was resisting the fierce attack, he was vigilantly observing his surroundings, trying to find the enemy's flaws.

"These 'energy-eating beasts' are just being controlled by someone. The real mastermind behind the scenes is someone else." Zhang Cheng quickly analyzed the current situation in his mind. He knew that only by resolving these troubles as soon as possible could he continue to accept the test of the "Sea of Stardust", improve his strength as soon as possible, and... save Clinda!

Thinking of Klinda, Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with determination, and a powerful force emerged from his heart. He no longer passively defended, but took the initiative to attack, and the star energy gathered on the front of his fist, turning into a series of sharp fist shadows, fiercely bombarding those "energy-eating beasts".

"Roar!" The "Energy-Eating Beasts" roared, but were unable to stop Zhang Cheng's attack, and were blown away one after another.

However, just as Zhang Cheng was about to kill the last "Energy Devourer", he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw that a pitch-black claw had pierced his body...

"Puff!" Blood spurted out, Zhang Cheng's body shook, and he almost fell to the ground. He endured the severe pain and punched the sneak attacking "Energy Devouring Beast" with his backhand, but his face had turned extremely pale.

"Zhang Cheng!" Du Yun shouted anxiously and wanted to rush over, but was stopped by the Dragon Star Sage.

"His test is not over yet." The Dragon Star Sage looked at Zhang Cheng who was injured in the "Sea of Stardust" with cold eyes, and said slowly, "If he can't even overcome this difficulty, he doesn't deserve the Star Creation Flower..."

Du Yun wanted to say something, but was stopped by the cold eyes of Dragon Star Sage. He looked at Zhang Cheng who was struggling in pain, his heart was filled with worry and anger, his clenched fists made a "crackling" sound, but he knew that now was not the time to act rashly...

"Ahem..." Zhang Cheng coughed violently a few times, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, which was particularly dazzling against the backdrop of the "Sea of Stardust". He struggled to stand up, but felt weak and his vision began to blur.

"Zhang Cheng, how are you?" Du Yun asked anxiously, but was stopped by a look from the wise man Longxing.

"This is your test. Only by overcoming the difficulties before you can you find the clue to the Star Creation Flower." The Dragon Star Sage spoke calmly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. "If you can't even bear this little bit of pain, then you don't deserve the Star Creation Flower..."

"Flower of the Star Creation..." Zhang Cheng muttered to himself, and the pale face of Klinda appeared in his mind. A strong power suddenly surged in his heart. He took a deep breath, endured the severe pain, and slowly stood up.

"I... I won't give up!" Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth and looked firmly into the depths of the "Stardust Sea", where endless dangers seemed to be hidden, but also hope.

"Hmph, you don't know your own limitations!" Luo He hid in the dark, looking at the injured Zhang Cheng with a sneer on his face, "Even if you can get through my obstacles, you can never leave here alive!"

He once again urged the "Energy Devouring Beast" to launch an attack, and at the same time secretly mobilized more star beasts, preparing to give Zhang Cheng a fatal blow.

Du Yun was extremely anxious when he saw this scene, but he could do nothing. He knew that the test of the Dragon Star Sage was always strict, and if he intervened rashly, it would only backfire.

"Zhang Cheng, you must hold on!" Du Yun prayed silently in his heart.

Zhang Cheng stood in the "Sea of Stardust", feeling the increasingly powerful energy fluctuations around him. He knew that he was in a desperate situation.

"Am I really going to die here?" A trace of despair flashed through Zhang Cheng's mind, but he quickly put it out of his mind. "No, I can't die. I still have to save Clinda. I still have to..."

At this moment, a strange wave suddenly came from the depths of the "Sea of Stardust", and Zhang Cheng felt a familiar breath approaching rapidly.

"Who is it?" Zhang Cheng was startled and looked up suddenly. He saw a black figure running towards him through many obstacles...

"Brother!" An anxious cry echoed throughout the "Sea of Stardust".
