Star Journey: Destiny Returns

A swirling circle of light enveloped Yunxuan, Yaoyue, and Fengchi, and the three felt an invisible force pushing them toward an unknown destination. The Ice Crystal Fruit shimmered mysteriously at the center of the circle, seemingly guiding them toward their fateful intersection.

"We must pass this test!" Yun Xuan said firmly, his face revealing a resolute expression. A fearless courage ignited in his heart, and he wanted to prove himself.

"But what should we do?" Yao Yue felt a faint unease. She looked around, trying to find any clues. The power of the light circle seemed to be growing stronger, and the air around them began to grow scorching hot, as if it would burn them to ash.

Feng Chi took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "No matter what, we must work together to break this barrier!"

Just as they were preparing to meet the challenge, several figures suddenly emerged from the aperture, like illusory images. Gradually, these images became clearer, revealing ancient guardians with stern faces, heavy armor, and spears in hand. Their imposing presence was as if they had come from a distant ancient era.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" One of the guardians asked in a deep voice. His voice was like thunder, echoing in the light circle, making the three people feel nervous.

"We are travelers seeking the ultimate taste, and we have been guided by the star map." Yunxuan responded bravely. Although he was filled with uneasiness in his heart, he was not willing to show weakness.

"If you want to get the Ice Crystal Fruit, you must pass our test first." Another guardian said coldly, his eyes like torches, scanning the three people.

"Test?" Yao Yue's heart trembled, and she instantly realized that this was a difficult challenge.

"Yes." The Guardian's voice was as heavy as a mountain. "You must demonstrate true courage and wisdom to gain recognition of your power."

Yunxuan and Yaoyue exchanged a glance, a flicker of determination in their eyes. They understood that this wasn't just about obtaining the Ice Crystal Fruit, but also about their shared future and mission.

"We're ready!" Feng Chi said confidently, his fighting spirit ignited. He gripped his weapon tightly, ready to face the challenge.

"Very good." The guardian nodded and waved the spear in his hand. In an instant, several rays of light split out from the center of the aperture, forming three channels, each leading to a different direction.

"Choose one of them, and you will face your own trials." The guardian said, a hint of majesty in his voice.

"I choose the left!" Yun Xuan rushed towards the light on the left without hesitation.

"I'll go to the middle!" Feng Chi followed closely behind, without fear.

"Then I'll go to the right." Yaoyue took a deep breath and silently cheered for them in her heart.

The three of them quickly separated, each embarking on their own path of trial. As they entered, the aperture closed, and the surroundings instantly became silent.

Yunxuan stepped into the passage on the left and what came into view was a dense forest. The sunlight shone through the treetops, casting bits of golden light. However, beneath this beautiful appearance, countless unknown dangers were hidden.

"How should I face this test?" Yun Xuan muttered to himself, pondering in his heart. He felt as if countless pairs of eyes were watching him in this forest, which was chilling.

Just as he was about to move forward, a low roar suddenly came from the woods, followed by a huge monster, as big as a mountain, covered with thick scales, with fierce light flashing in its eyes, and pounced towards Yunxuan.

"Damn it!" Yun Xuan was startled and quickly drew his weapon, charging towards the oncoming monster. His heartbeat quickened, and his grip on the weapon grew ever firmer.

"Die!" Yun Xuan roared, brandishing his weapon and thrusting it straight at the monster's vitals. The weapon flashed with a cold light, as bright as a star, pressing directly against the monster's heart.

The monster nimbly dodged the attack, then turned and counterattacked Yunxuan. Its massive claws slashed down like sharp blades.

"Get out of the way!" Yun Xuan was alert and quickly jumped sideways to avoid the fatal blow.

"I can't retreat!" Yun Xuan secretly encouraged himself and went forward resolutely. He knew that this was not only to pass the test, but also for his and Yaoyue's future.

At the same time, Feng Chi was in the middle passage, and in front of him was a ruin, surrounded by broken stone walls and dilapidated buildings, as if telling of the past glory.

"This seems to be an ancient relic." Feng Chi thought to himself, feeling a little uneasy.

Just as he was observing carefully, several skeleton warriors suddenly jumped out from the ruins, holding rusty weapons in their hands, with faint blue light flashing in their eyes, and charged towards Feng Chi.

"Come on!" Feng Chi shouted, fearlessly advancing. The weapon in his hand flashed with dazzling light as he charged straight at the skeleton in front of him.

Despite the sheer number of skeleton warriors, Feng Chi showed no fear. He swiftly moved between the enemies, nimbly dodging their attacks. His heart was filled with strength and confidence.

"Break it for me!" Feng Chi roared, and the weapon in his hand was like thunder, instantly smashing towards a skeleton. The skeleton shattered and turned into countless pieces.

As he attacked, the surrounding skeletons were knocked down one after another, turning into dust. Feng Chi was extremely excited. He knew that he had to keep moving forward to pass this test.

In the passage on the right, Yaoyue faced a different test. She walked into a mysterious lake, the surface of the lake as clear as a mirror, the bottom visible, surrounded by a faint blue light, like a dream.

"This lake water... seems strange." Yao Yue was alert and carefully observed her surroundings. She sensed a mysterious power within the lake, as if calling her.

Just as she was about to approach the lake, the water suddenly fluctuated, and a huge water element emerged. It was transparent and flashed with a blue-green light, and attacked Yaoyue.

"This is... the Trial of Water!" Yao Yue's heart tightened, and she quickly gathered her spiritual power, preparing to fight. She knew that only by defeating the water element could she pass the test.

"Come on!" Yao Yue shouted, her spiritual power surging like a tide as she rushed towards the water element. Her attack was like a torrent, heading straight for the core of the water element.

The water element roared, and a massive torrent of water surged towards Yaoyue, seemingly threatening to devour her. Yaoyue's expression was solemn, and her spiritual energy gathered around her, forming a water barrier to withstand the onslaught.

"I will use my power to break this body of water!" There was a determined light in Yaoyue's eyes, and she secretly encouraged herself in her heart.

She took a deep breath, concentrated all her strength, and unleashed a powerful stream of water, rushing straight at the water element. The two forces collided in the air, stirring up ripples like the collision of stars.

"I will never give up!" Yaoyue shouted firmly, her heart full of faith.

At this moment, the energy fluctuations of the light circle gradually weakened, and the trials of the three channels continued. Yunxuan, Fengchi, and Yaoyue gave their all in their respective challenges, silently repeating their faith in each other and looking forward to reuniting.

Finally, after a fierce battle, Yunxuan, Fengchi and Yaoyue successfully defeated their respective enemies. Three rays of light bloomed at the same time, as if responding to each other's determination.
