Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Chapter 82: Season 2 Episode 10 - The Passing Years

Luo Feng gazed at the silver light hovering in the distance, which was, at the moment, restlessly observing him.

"This Primal Chaos Layer Creature, being of low intelligence, is less cunning than Xue Yun in tactics; however, in terms of pure power, it surpasses it by a notch." Luo Feng, thrilled by the hunt, had initially dominated Xue Yun and now, having realized a Primal Chaos Realm technique, his strength had increased once again.

"Whoosh."

Suddenly, the silver light flashed, tracing an arc that instantly extended over tenfold, like a spectral silver thread that swept past Luo Feng.

"Hm?" Luo Feng, seeing the thread sweep by his body, reached out to grasp it again.

Though Luo Feng's grasp might have seemed ordinary, the ghostly elusive silver thread could not escape and was once again caught by him. At the instant he caught it, Luo Feng felt the silver thread in the palm of his hand was too slippery.

Unbelievably sharp and smooth.

It slipped out of his palm instantly, leaving behind a deep wound on Luo Feng.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." The silver light around Luo Feng flickered repeatedly, sometimes as silver threads, sometimes as blade lights, sometimes as silver spikes—all incredibly fast. Luo Feng struggled to catch it, but ended up with several bloody wounds.

"Interesting." Luo Feng smiled as he watched it. "Without showing some skill, it seems I can't capture it."

Whoosh!

The silver light aimed for another attack on Luo Feng.

This time, Luo Feng also extended his hand, but his five fingers, like massive pillars of heaven, covered a corner of the void space and instantly enveloped the silver light. The light appeared to be trapped in a cage with no gaps to escape through.

It was a move Luo Feng had newly mastered called 'Five Directions Heavenly Seal.'

Having contemplated the Life Origin and Destruction Origin, plus his understanding gained in the Primal Chaos Layer, besides that one Primal Chaos Realm technique, Luo Feng had also realized several standalone techniques, each more powerful than the first six strikes of the 'World Breaking Nine Blades.'

This technique, 'Five Directions Heavenly Seal,' carried a portion of the essence of 'Heavens Split in Five Directions Blade,' merged with Luo Feng's understanding of the Law of Primal Chaos. If 'Heavens Split in Five Directions Blade' intended to split heavens, shredding everything to pieces,

Conversely, Five Directions Heavenly Seal employed the essence of the five directions to seal Heaven and Earth, used to trap enemies!

The casual grasp earlier could not catch the silver blade light.

Now, deploying the 'Five Directions Heavenly Seal,' he had completely trapped the silver light. As his five fingers clenched, they naturally entwined around the silver light.

"Buzzing~~~" The silver light, long and struggling, attempted to escape.

However, being entangled between Luo Feng's five fingers, it couldn't break free.

"I really want to see what this little creature's body is made of, so small yet so powerful." Luo Feng deployed the 'Duan Mie' Dharma, instantly burning his Divine Power to the limit.

"Split."

Luo Feng's power burst forth, his five fingers exerting a sudden force, far stronger than before, attempting to tear open the body of the silver light creature.

"Hmm?" This exertion left Luo Feng utterly astonished; he felt the silver light creature was incredibly tough, impossible to tear apart.

"Even with my Divine Power burned to its limits, I can't tear its body?" Luo Feng was surprised. "Luckily I've realized a Primal Chaos Realm move, or else I'd really be at a loss with it."

This Primal Chaos Layer creature, having only instinct, without even a consciousness, made Luo Feng's Secret Technique of Willpower useless.

With one hand holding the silver light creature, the index finger of Luo Feng's other hand burned with Divine Power. He deployed the only Primal Chaos Realm technique he mastered, 'Heart Honing.' His finger gently swooped like dissecting the void, crossing over the tip of the silver light creature's body.

Crack!

The body of the silver light creature immediately fractured, splitting in two.

As Luo Feng's finger crossed, he could feel the toughness of the silver light body. After it fractured, the toughness of the silver light body dramatically decreased, and its luster dimmed considerably. Luo Feng grabbed each half of the silver light body with his left and right hands, exerting a sudden force.

Bang! Bang!

The two halves of the silver light body completely shattered, turning into a cluster of silver droplets.

"One hundred and nine silver droplets?" Luo Feng carefully examined the silver droplets in front of him; they tried to merge back together, but once split into basic silver droplets, each one's force became very weak.

Luo Feng's Divine Power enveloped them, preventing them from merging.

"These silver droplets..." Luo Feng scrutinized them; in his eyes, each silver droplet magnified a billion times, resembling a colossal star.

Magnified billions of times, the silver droplet maintained a perfect spherical shape with an immensely smooth surface. On its surface, traces of Primal Chaos Law could be vaguely seen, and these traces also permeated inside the silver droplets.

Luo Feng's finger swept across a silver droplet, which instantly disintegrated into silver mist and the substance of the Primal Chaos Laws became visibly materialized.

Luo Feng peered intently.

As the silver mist dissipated, the materialized Primal Chaos Laws also dispersed. This droplet of silver water was completely annihilated.

"No wonder it's so slippery." Luo Feng observed, "Each silver droplet actually contains a complete 'Law of Primal Chaos,' incorporating features of Primal Chaos Gold and Water of Primal Chaos."

"Of all the Primal Chaos Layer creatures I've observed and studied, the previous ones only contained partial Primal Chaos Laws. However, this silver light creature possesses a complete Primal Chaos Law," Luo Feng realized.

Containing partial Primal Chaos Laws versus a complete Primal Chaos Law, there was obviously a huge difference in strength.

"Collect." With a thought, Luo Feng gathered the remaining 108 silver droplets into the Star Tower.

One of the space layers within the Star Tower spontaneously filled with these 108 silver droplets, naturally separated by the space.

Luo Feng brought two of the silver droplets closer, and they naturally merged.

Each droplet merged, and upon merging ten droplets, they could form a silver thread, already quite potent.

Once a hundred droplets merged, they formed that streak of silver light.

Even when combined entirely, the Silverlight Creature's prowess did not increase significantly.

"The more Silver Droplets there are, the stronger its power, but clearly a certain threshold must be reached for a qualitative change to occur," Luo Feng thought to himself, "This is merely just over a hundred droplets. What if it were ten thousand, or a million? That would probably amount to Primal Chaos Realm strength."

Luo Feng closely observed this streak of silver light that was kept within the Star Tower.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh." The silver light swiftly move through this level of the Star Tower space, yet it couldn't escape at all.

"I heard that Primal Chaos Layer creatures feed on Chaotic Power," Luo Feng thought, tossing several Primal Chaos Crystals toward the Silverlight Creature.

The silver light quickly flew to the Primal Chaos Crystals, coiling around them and began to slowly gnaw.

"The strength of a Primal Chaos Layer creature is related to the Primal Chaos laws within its body," Luo Feng thought regretfully, "It's a pity that I cannot see those creatures who possess Primal Chaos Realm strength."

According to the intelligence.

All the Primal Chaos Layer creatures with the strength of a Primal Chaos Overlord had been captured and taken away. They were all very attractive to the Godly Kings.

"These rare and very powerful Primal Chaos Layer creatures could rather be captured and kept over a long period," Luo Feng thought, gleaning some special applications of the Primal Chaos laws from them.

…

His hometown, Luo Feng's microcosm.

Beneath a large tree, its canopy covered a vast area.

"Primordial Ancestor, it is rare for you to visit me," Luo Feng personally poured fruit wine for the Primordial Ancestor, "Try this. I collected various fruits within the microcosm and tried several wine-making experiments; the taste is quite good."

"Mm," the Primordial Ancestor picked up the wine glass and tasted a sip, appreciating it, "The flavor is delightful. I didn't expect you to be a wine-making expert, Luo Feng."

"Just a small hobby," Luo Feng also picked up his glass and tasted.

"I came this time also to thank you," the Primordial Ancestor said pensively, "Fortunately, with the Nine Netherworlds inheritance you gave, having cultivated in the Land of Origin until now, I have finally broken through to the Eternal True God Realm."

"Broken through?" Luo Feng was thrilled, feeling happier as the human race grew stronger.

After all, the Land of Origin was fraught with dangers; if one day he fell, it would still be the Primordial Ancestor protecting the human race.

"The Land of Origin clarifies the understanding of laws so much clearer, and with the inheritance, I achieved breakthrough today," the Primordial Ancestor said with a smile, "The Law Lineage is indeed challenging. After this breakthrough, my days in the Land of Origin will be much better."

Luo Feng nodded, "It has been a well-deserved reward after a long ordeal."

In the Land of Origin, the life between a true god of void space and an eternal true god was starkly different.

"Primordial Ancestor, has your microcosm not expanded?" Luo Feng asked.

"No rush, only you know that I have divined the Source of Law. Neither my microcosm nor godly body is in a rush to break through," the Primordial Ancestor looked at Luo Feng, "Once my godly body breaks through, I will no longer be able to hide my strength and will need to face some choices.

I am hesitating whether to join the official ranks of Flame Wind Ancient Country or to remain a solitary cultivator."

"The official ranks," Luo Feng said, "Flame Wind Ancient Country has an unfathomable foundation, it is more suitable for you to join there. Although a solitary cultivator enjoys more freedom, it is also much more dangerous. Moreover… in the future, I should also go to the Flame Wind Ancient Country."

"You are also going to the Flame Wind Ancient Country?" the Primordial Ancestor showed delight.

"It will still take a considerable amount of time," Luo Feng explained, both he and Museum Master Emperor Chu Yu needed to reach the Primal Chaos Realm; only then Emperor Chu Yu would recruit him. Currently, both were still at the Eternal True God level.

It would also take him a long time to reach the Primal Chaos Realm, not to mention Emperor Chu Yu.

"I will follow your advice and join the official ranks," the Primordial Ancestor no longer hesitated.

He knew very well that Luo Feng had received the inheritance of Duan Dong River Lineage, making him more understanding of the top powers of the Land of Origin than he was.

Moreover, during his days in the Land of Origin, the Primordial Ancestor had seen that new Eternal True Gods still had to live cautiously. Joining the official ranks would greatly increase his safety with the official layer of protection.

"This is the latter half of the Nine Netherworlds, containing many secret techniques for the Eternal True God level," Luo Feng handed a Memory Stone to the Primordial Ancestor.

"You don't need to practice illusions just for me," the Primordial Ancestor immediately said, worried it might affect Luo Feng's cultivation path.

"I practice various Dharma, all as a foundation for reaching the Primal Chaos Realm," Luo Feng smiled.

"Thank you," the Primordial Ancestor then took the Memory Stone and received the information from the latter half of the Nine Netherworlds.

Receiving this inheritance, the Primordial Ancestor grew even more aware of the gap between himself and Luo Feng.

He had just become an Eternal True God.

Whereas one of the illusions Luo Feng practiced was already at the pinnacle of the Eternal True God level. His actual strength, however, was likely even more formidable and terrifying.

"Then now, I will go and break through completely," the Primordial Ancestor stood up.

Luo Feng also stood up to see him off.

…

In the days that followed, Huyang City experienced a rare calm.

The Heartshadow Sect was also gathering some sect elites previously dispersed across various regions of the Land of Origin; after all, aiming to attack a Primal Chaos Prefecture, the more powerful the better. If they could form an overwhelming momentum, it would be most ideal.

Only, some sect elites were too far from Shi Kingdom; even with Marquis Liu Yin's help, it wasn't a short journey to return.

Additionally, persuading some sect elites to join the battle was a notably difficult task.

Luo Feng, meanwhile, was immersed in cultivation.

Life Origin, destruction of the origin, Primal Chaos Layer cultivation, Three Thousand Void Calamity Beast Diagram… Luo Feng felt himself making slow progress every day.

Time passed, unbeknownst to him, five eras had elapsed!
