Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Chapter 151: Episode 3 Chapter 34 Wave 2 Eruption Period

Chu Capital, as one of the immensely bustling great cities at the forefront of the Land of Origin, is home to Godly Kings and many from the Primal Chaos Realm. Emperor Chu himself presided over it, and no other power dared to create disturbances here.

In the Land of Origin, many great clans have established their family branches here.

Many independent eternal true gods also come here in search of opportunities. 'Yu Youyi,' known for his mastery of musical Illusion Techniques, was among them.

"Gentlemen, I have a way to lead you all to become disciples under Marquis Chu Chang," spoke one of the eternal true gods, a black-scale eternal true god, within a common tavern as a group of eternal true gods gathered.

"Marquis Chu Chang is one of the seven first-rank marquises. Even if we become his disciples, we'll just be servants," the other eternal true gods were not so easily persuaded by a few words.

The Primordial Ancestor's Illusionary Avatar was also among them.

His Illusionary Avatar could change into different appearances. Currently, he maintained nine different Illusionary Avatars, living within Chu Capital under nine identities.

These nine Illusionary Avatars could join ordinary forces as a backbone, manage businesses, blend into groups as independent cultivators, or join covert operations as peripheral members.

His Illusionary Avatar was also a real physical body, indistinguishable on the surface, and possessed about thirty percent of the true body's strength.

Initially, figures like Marquis Chu Ji, Marquis Chu Yuan, and three other Pinnacles of Primal Chaos Realm failed to recognize that it was merely an avatar. Unless they came into contact with a Godly King Level being, it was almost impossible for it to be exposed.

"Primordial Qi, haven't you always wanted a Godly King Level inheritance in the Illusion Technique lineage? It's very difficult for us eternal true gods to obtain a Godly King Level inheritance. But if Marquis Chu Chang is willing, he could easily bestow a Godly King Level inheritance," one eternal true god said to the Primordial Ancestor with a smile.

"Even if we follow Marquis Chu Chang, we'd likely need to establish enough merit before being granted a Godly King Level inheritance," the Primordial Ancestor's Illusionary Avatar worriedly said.

"We fear that even after following for tens of thousands of years, we still might not receive the inheritance."

"As long as we follow Marquis Chu Chang, he'll immediately grant the Godly King Level inheritance. I'm willing to follow him now."

"I'm willing too."

"As long as there's an inheritance, we naturally will follow," said the eternal true gods, including the Primordial Ancestor.

"Although Marquis Chu Chang recruits subordinates, to think of obtaining a Godly King Level inheritance just after joining?" the black-scale eternal true god shook his head slightly, "That's a bit delusional."

"Marquis Chu Chang's recruitment of subordinates must be related to the competition among the first-rank marquises," said another eternal true god. "I heard that the first-rank marquises have been fiercely competing recently, each bringing a group of subordinates for training, and many subordinates have died."

"I also heard that besides bringing subordinates for training, they even invited those who have Transcended the Primal Chaos Realm to fight over the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl."

"Desert Wind City Lord, Great Saint Bi Yun, Great Saint Luo He, Great Saint Yan Su, and Lord of Yuan Xiu Mansion, a total of five who have Transcended the Primal Chaos Realm, fought fiercely over the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl! They fought...all because of our Emperor Chu's lineage of seven first-rank marquises."

The group of independent eternal true gods became excited as they discussed those who had Transcended the Primal Chaos Realm.

As they sought opportunities in Chu Capital, naturally, they eyed the forces of Godly Kings, followed by those under the brand of Transcended from the Primal Chaos Realm, and then the royal family's first-rank marquises.

"It's said that in this competition, Great Saint Bi Yun was most formidable, followed by Desert Wind City Lord; Great Saint Luo He and Great Saint Yan Su were more or less equal, with Lord of Yuan Xiu Mansion ranking the last."

"I also heard that Desert Wind City Lord and Great Saint Luo He clashed head-on. Both are experts in physical strength, and every movement they made was said to be devastating,"

"Yet both are still inferior to Great Saint Bi Yun."

These independent eternal true gods, most passionate about collecting information on various formidable beings, discussing whether such information was true or false while drinking and animatedly talking.

The Primordial Ancestor's Illusionary Avatar joined in happily, praising Great Saint Luo He at one moment, and extolling Great Saint Bi Yun the next.

After Luo Feng achieved the Tri-Unity form, he naturally transformed, reaching a new level of strength. Among those in the First Realm of Godly King, he was considered extremely strong.

"All five branches have reached the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm."

Luo Feng looked towards the tranquil Blood Spirit Star in the distance.

Being in the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit induced state, initially the Heaven Splitting Lineage and Dark Heaven Lineage had peaked in the Primal Chaos Realm. Now that Morosa had reached the Godly King Level, Luo Feng could witness the complete materialization of the 'Heaven Splitting' and 'Dark Heaven' branches, naturally progressing very rapidly.

Both lineages thus naturally reached the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm.

"The gap between the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm and the Godly King is very big."

With the detailed inheritances of the 'Eight Tribulations Life Form' First Calamity and the 'Extermination of Seventy-Two Blades' first volume, Luo Feng understood clearly what path he should take next.

This is the advantage of inheritance.

Inheritance could guide Luo Feng! It divided the path to breakthroughs into several steps.

Step by step, he would deepen his accumulation until one day, he would become a Godly King.

"Cultivating some powerful Secret Techniques, or even creating some powerful Secret Techniques, can make the accumulation even deeper," Luo Feng thought.

Secret Techniques are the key to practice.

With the mysteries of the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm, cultivating a variety of Secret Techniques. Figures like Lord of Yuan Xiu Mansion and Great Saint Bi Yun even cultivated highly powerful Primordial Secret Methods, achieving the power of those who Transcend the Primal Chaos Realm.

Their realm accumulations were naturally also deeper.

Like Luo Feng, who could conceive moves comparable to those of a Godly King such as the 'Tri-Unity Form,' naturally had a deeper understanding of Life Spirituality and the Body of Life.

"The only method to become a Godly King is to slowly accumulate," Luo Feng knew it couldn't be rushed.

...

In the blink of an eye, nearly half a century had gone by since the first eruption of Blood Spirit Star.

The long-silent Blood Spirit Star had accumulated energy once again reaching some sort of threshold, beginning to boil anew, its surface rolling with liquid flames.

"Hahaha, it's entering the Eruption Period again," declared the massive City Lord of Desert Wind, who had long arrived near the Blood Spirit Star. At this moment, he stood on all fours, the surrounding desert winds spreading out.

"The struggle for it begins anew," Lord Yuan Xiu observed from a distance. "While they fight over it, I might seize the chance to snare a few."

Lord Yuan Xiu had no intention of getting too close; it was too risky and not worth it.

Meanwhile, the clouds in the sky were also watching Blood Spirit Star. Great Saint Bi Yun was equally prepared to make his move at any moment.

"It's starting," Yan Su, hidden in the Void, said leisurely as he watched Blood Spirit Star, his expression suddenly changing.

For a figure had directly approached near Blood Spirit Star, it was Luo Feng.

Blood Spirit Star was suspended, with the City Lord of Desert Wind and Luo Feng on its either side, respectively.

"Luo He? You come to contend with me as soon as you arrive?" The City Lord of Desert Wind's eyes flashed fiercely. In terms of Physical Body, this Great Saint Luo He was comparable to him, and his vast Galaxy could even suppress his Desert Wind Domain, "Good, we failed to determine the victor last time. This time, let us battle properly ... I've even prepared some 'gifts' for you."

Luo Feng glanced at the City Lord of Desert Wind.

Without uttering a single word himself, the City Lord of Desert Wind's eyes were filled with fierce light, and an intangible murderous intent darkened the surrounding heaven and earth slightly.

"The transcendence of the Primal Chaos Realm in cultivating the Primordial Bloodline all have such fierce temperaments, huh?" Luo Feng quietly shook his head. In Thunder Ancient Country, cultivating the Primordial Bloodline leads to ferocity, which already was a fairly good result.

"Great Saint Yan Su," the City Lord of Desert Wind said, staring at Luo Feng. "You and this Luo He have some old grudges. From what I see, the two of us working together ... could ensure Luo Feng doesn't get a single Blood Spirit Golden Pearl."

"Good."

The shadowy figure of General Yan Su appeared as he nodded leisurely, "A fine proposal, City Lord of Desert Wind."

Yan Su was always so direct; once enmities were established, there was no need to hold back anymore.

"The two of you joining forces?" Luo Feng looked at the City Lord of Desert Wind and Great Saint Yan Su.

During the last clash, each transcendent of the Primal Chaos Realm fought individually; there had been no alliances! Once they deliberately teamed up, perfectly coordinating their efforts, the threat posed by Great Saint Yan Su and the City Lord of Desert Wind would greatly increase.

"Yan Su, we are all members of Flame Wind Ancient Country. You plan to collaborate with the City Lord of Desert Wind from Thunder Ancient Country?" From a distant place, Lord Yuan Xiu spoke up, his voice echoing in the heaven and earth.

"Hahaha... Yuan Xiu, you're mistaken," said Yan Su leisurely. "We are merely Guest Elders at Flame Wind Ancient Country; the Ancient Country has never treated Guest Elders as full members! Even you, Yuan Xiu, as the Direct Disciple of the Sovereign of Wanjie Kingdom, are probably considered more a member of the Wanjie Kingdom by Flame Wind Ancient Country."

Lord Yuan Xiu gently shook his head.

"Moreover, Flame Wind Ancient Country has never restricted whom Guest Elders associate with, nor has it prevented them from making enemies. Guest Elders killing each other, Flame Wind Ancient Country does not care about that," Yan Su continued.

"Well said," Luo Feng nodded in agreement.

Yan Su glanced at Luo Feng surprised, and Great Saint Bi Yun, merged with the heaven and earth, was also surprised by Luo Feng's response.

"Guest Elders slicing each other's throats, Flame Wind Ancient Country indeed doesn't care," Luo Feng nodded. Many Godly Kings from the Land of Origin had been Guest Elders at Flame Wind Ancient Country, weren't they all fighting and battling just the same?

"It seems Brother Luo He understands my point," Yan Su nodded. "Brother Luo He, you should see the situation clearly now; forget about the Blood Spirit Golden Pearls."

"Buzz~~~"

The immense Blood Spirit Star's boiling intensified, and the liquid flames surged and splashed—a scene that caught the attention of all transcended beings of the Primal Chaos Realm.

"The Blood Spirit Golden Pearls are about to erupt, City Lord of Desert Wind, you and I should join forces to push him back quickly," Yan Su said. As long as they could drive Luo Feng away, given the primitive methods Luo Feng had shown the last time when capturing the Blood Spirit Golden Pearls, he probably would't be able to get even one.

"Good," the City Lord of Desert Wind nodded and instantly pulled out the chains he carried on his back, throwing them towards Luo Feng. The chains, once thrown, transformed into numerous black serpents, terrifying in their might.

Luo Feng watched the scene.

Now, he could naturally control the extensive Domain around him, which was also an exceedingly terrifying natural feature of his Physical Body, known as 'Realm Domain.' At this moment, with a mere thought, fully thirty billion Black Rivers instantly merged into the 'Realm Domain.'

Whoosh!

Within the vast expanse all around, a Dark World suddenly materialized, its world membrane incredibly thick, formed from the cohesion of thirty billion Black Rivers.

The Dark World trapped everything within.

"What's happening?" Lord Yuan Xiu exclaimed, astonished as the world darkened around him, a Dark World enveloping everything, effectively sealing it off. "This is a world far more vast than my Dark Mansion."

"What is this?" Bi Yun, merged with the heaven and earth, also found himself trapped. "An absolute separation of interior and exterior worlds? This is a complete world!"

Just as the City Lord of Desert Wind had thrown the chains to confront Luo Feng, he was momentarily stunned, watching the vast Dark World. The world was too expansive, and its aura was so thick that even he felt somewhat fearful.

"I can no longer feel the outside Void," Great Saint Yan Su, too, gazed in shock at the scene. This Dark World completely blocked off the inside from the outside, even partially obstructing causality, showing its powerful sealing capability.

In the center of the Dark World, Luo Feng stood there, his aura no longer contained, boldly emanating. His terrifying Physical Body's presence already affected the surrounding heaven and earth, causing the supreme rules to withdraw.

Such a fearsome presence caused tremors in the hearts of all transcendent beings present in the Primal Chaos Realm.
