Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Chapter 92: Episode 2 Chapter 18 Blade Light Cleaves the Sky

Luo Feng was not surprised; he had long known that the Land of Origin was a very cruel world, where tribes living in the wilderness might disappear without a trace one day. And when Primal Chaos Overlords or ancient Godly Kings took action, it resulted in destruction of both heaven and earth.

No matter what level of cultivator they were, some were merciful, some indifferent and solitary, and some slaughtered creatures solely for their own...

This was the natural order of the world, where the weak were prey to the strong.

"Those cultivators who slaughter creatures just for themselves are despicable scum that deserve to die! Exterminating these scums is also part of the natural order," Luo Feng thought, "It's just that my abilities are limited."

Even ancient Godly Kings couldn't affect the order of the Land of Origin.

At that moment, Morosa and Moyu Qingyan were both waiting for Luo Feng to make a decision.

"Qingyan," Luo Feng looked at Moyu Qingyan, "where are your other family members?"

"My father is inside the city owner's mansion; the mansion is now sealed off, so he can't return," Moyu Qingyan explained. "My eldest brother's family is currently at home, and my younger sister-in-law is pregnant, so she's resting at home."

"Given the current dire situation, I plan to leave the city," Luo Feng said. "Is your family willing to leave the city with me?"

"Of course we're willing," Moyu Qingyan nodded. "I've already messaged my father, and he said that we'll listen to the master's decision."

"Hmm," Luo Feng looked toward Morosa, "Luo Sa, you now go to Dream Flower Tower and rescue the Dream Flower Tower Master, Araya, and their companions."

Morosa's eyes lit up, and he immediately sent a telepathic message: "Master, if we take action in the city, the Heartshadow Sect and the city owner's mansion will notice. How much of my power should I reveal?"

"Show strength comparable to Elder Hearteye, but your methods can be more severe. However, control the extent of your power," Luo Feng telepathically communicated. The outside world had long suspected that he was an elite cultivated by a major force.

Especially since he had rejected the recruitment by the Monarch of Yu Country, it led to further speculation about his powerful mentorship, and that Morosa was his Protector.

Let the world's speculations come true then!

"Understood." Morosa had been eager to act, and now that his master had permitted it, he could reveal some of his fangs.

"Start the action," Luo Feng gestured and took Moyu Qingyan with him.

In an instant, Luo Feng and Morosa both vanished in a flash.

...

Inside the city owner's mansion.

Moyu Hu was alone in a room.

"My third child," Moyu Hu felt as though his heart was being sliced by knives when he received the news. After the death of his wife, his three children were what he cared about the most in this world, valuing them even more than his own life.

His relationship with Luo Feng, including the treasures he had acquired, were all exchanged for opportunities for his children.

But now, his third child was gone.

"I knew that this world was like this," Moyu Hu also harbored deep hatred, "But I can't avenge."

"That's the Heartshadow Sect! An entity that not even the entire Jiu Jiang Primal Chaos Prefecture can contend with," Moyu Hu felt helpless and in pain, while the high-and-mighty Marquis of Jiu Jiang was currently trying to marshal forces. As a mere true god of void space, what could he do?

"My greatest fortune was being able to meet Lord Luo He back then," Moyu Hu thought. "I hope Lord Luo He has a successful journey, bringing Liefeng, Qingyan, and all of them out of Huyang city."

******

In the Moyu Family's cave mansion.

"Heartshadow Sect!" Moyu Liefeng stood by the lakeside, tears in his eyes and a ferocious expression on his face, "For killing my brother, I, Moyu Liefeng, swear to seek vengeance at all costs! Even if it takes tens of thousands of years, I will never give up!"

Among the three brothers, the eldest, Moyu Liefeng, was the one with the highest talent. He was also the most fierce and bloodthirsty.

The youngest brother was the most reserved, simply wanting to quietly pursue cultivation, yet he was the first to go.

In this world, wishing to cultivate quietly didn't mean one would be allowed the peace to do so.

Suddenly—

A figure in a black robe stepped out from the ripples in the void and appeared above the cave mansion.

Upon seeing who it was, Moyu Liefeng immediately paid his respects reverently, "Divine Monarch! We are all ready!"

Luo Feng nodded and with a wave of his hand, gathered up all of the Moyu Family's creatures and structures.

"Next up are the nine artifact shops. Brother Shang, this is all I can do for you," Luo Feng thought.

Whoosh.

With a single step, Luo Feng vanished into the void.

Although the Heartshadow Sect's dark array posed a stronger suppression on space, Luo Feng's current understanding of space was profound. Especially since he possessed the 'Void Proliferation Mother Tree Leaf,' it allowed him to be more in synergy with space. Moreover, the frequent observation of this leaf also led to further insights for Luo Feng.

...

When the Heavenly Flame Sect disbanded, its disciples went their separate ways.

Some joined other forces; others set up their own artifact shops. Among them, the largest were the nine artifact shops. Moyu Liuxing and his wife Mo Youshang established 'Moyu's Artifact Shop' which had quite a reputation and spanned tens of millions of kilometers.

The Moyu Family had a considerable foundation in Huyang city as well: father followed Deputy City Lord Moli Meng, the Mo Family eldest was a direct disciple of the eternal true god of the Zhu Clan, 'Zhu You,' and the Mo Family's second brother was a servant of Lord Luo He, one of the mere two servants by Luo He's side.

Therefore, many Heavenly Flame Sect disciples followed 'Moyu Liuxing, Mo Youshang.'

"Take all the treasures with you."

In Moyu's Artifact Shop, whether it was the weapons and secret treasures on display for sale, or the storages of various secret treasures and materials, the disciples of the Heartshadow Sect were now moving everything out.

Moreover, many of the artifact refiners in the shop were being searched, and all of their treasures were taken, not even a single Primal Chaos Stone was left.

"Huff."

A figure flashed and had already arrived at the artificing shop, it was Luo Feng arriving through traveling the void.

"Who dares to barge into the forbidden area of the Heartshadow Sect?" The disciples of the Heartshadow Sect who were guarding the surroundings were immediately alarmed, and the three super-large mechanical treasures hovering in the sky all looked over.

Luo Feng, however, ignored them and instead gazed at the many artifact refiners, apprentices, and customers in the artificing shop, who all stood still, not daring to move.

"Lord Luo He." Most of these artifact refiners and apprentices were from the Heavenly Flame Sect and naturally recognized Luo Feng.

"How did Moyu Liuxing die?" Luo Feng asked.

"Who are you?"

A shout of rage came from outside.

"Shut up quickly, that's Lord Luo He!" The previously bustling disciples of the Heartshadow Sect soon fell silent.

But Luo Feng didn't pay attention to the outside and continued to look at the artifact refiners.

One burly artifact refiner immediately said, "Divine Monarch, today the disciples of the Heartshadow Sect suddenly arrived and without a word, just pointed their fingers, and many artifact refiners, a large number of apprentices, and numerous customers died instantly, frightening everyone in the artificing shop into silence.

Only then did the Heartshadow Sect say that all treasures and materials of the artificing shop belonged to the Heartshadow Sect, and all eternal true gods and true gods of void space had to hand over their treasures and even be searched."

"As the owner of the Artifact Shop, Moyu Liuxing only said, 'We're willing to hand over the treasures, can we avoid being searched..." The burly artifact refiner said with grief and indignation.

"He had barely started speaking when the leading disciple of the Heartshadow Sect pointed his finger again, and Moyu Liuxing, along with the surrounding artifact refiners, apprentices, and customers, were all annihilated."

"You really dare to speak out!"

At that moment, three figures walked in from outside. The one in the lead was clad in a purple robe, underneath which seemed to be a godly body formed of black liquid, with an expression cold as ice. He looked at Luo Feng and saluted, "Disciple 'Chan Wuqi' of the Heartshadow Sect greets Lord Luo He."

"You pointed your finger twice and massacred a great number of creatures in the artificing shop, did you?" Luo Feng stared at him.

"It was me." Chan Wuqi said, "My Heartshadow Sect is merciful. This time we were only collecting war contributions from eternal true gods and true gods of void space. To make the collection go more smoothly, it's natural to intimidate."

"It was him. He killed Moyu Liuxing." The eyes of the burly artifact refiner were frenzied.

"Indeed, it was me."

Chan Wuqi nodded, "I was dealing with things, and he dared to speak out of turn. He was asking for death!"

Chan Wuqi felt it was completely justified.

To slaughter a few true gods of void space and true gods was merely a matter of a breath, no big deal.

"So this was the reason." Luo Feng understood.

Luo Feng also extended his hand and lightly pointed.

Hum!

An invisible blade light descended, instantly eradicating Chan Wuqi's godly body; even as Chan Wuqi died with his eyes wide open, he couldn't believe it: "This Lord Luo He actually dares to kill an eternal true god of my Heartshadow Sect in public; does he wish to be completely at odds with my Heartshadow Sect?"

This scene stunned the other disciples of the Heartshadow Sect, who were frightened and immediately rushed out of the artificing shop.

Before coming to Huyang City, they knew of Lord Luo He's renown, which was not something ordinary disciples could withstand.

"Huff."

Luo Feng waved his hand and took all the creatures in the artificing shop with him, including the customers.

At the critical moment, Luo Feng didn't have time to ask for their opinions. If they wanted to return, he would personally take them back after the war was over.

...

In this commercial district, with three super-large mechanical treasures floating in the sky and nineteen large Flying Boats hovering above, many disciples of the Heartshadow Sect were looting various commercial powers. With Luo Feng's arrival, all disciples of the Heartshadow Sect became nervous on the spot.

"Lord Luo He is here!"

"Uncle Chan Wuqi has been killed!"

The disciples of the Heartshadow Sect were somewhat panicked.

The three super-large mechanical treasures in the high sky also approached the Moyus' Artificing Shop, and they too were shocked that Lord Luo He had taken action directly!

After all, the Heartshadow Sect had always shown respect for Lord Luo He. Lord Luo He and his two servants were not to be offended by the Heartshadow Sect.

But...

The friends and relatives of the servants?

The friends that Lord Luo He had made?

Luo Feng had lived in Huyang City for over thirty eras, met too many friends, most of whom were eternal true gods. Some he had good relations with, others he had merely chatted with a few times. The Heartshadow Sect couldn't possibly let them all go. As for the friends and relatives of the servants, the Heartshadow Sect would care even less.

"Lord Luo He, you dare to kill our disciples of the Heartshadow Sect at will..." One of the super-large mechanical treasures, covered in dark cyan scales, almost humanoid with eight arms, said.

"Whoosh!"

A dazzling and terrifying blade light instantly tore through the sky, breaking space itself with a pitch-black crack, and directly swept past the super-large mechanical treasure. This caused the super-large treasure to shatter, and the disciples within were mostly killed or injured instantly. Among them, the eleven eternal true gods in command of the super-large mechanical treasure all perished.

This scene left many disciples of the Heartshadow Sect frozen and chilled to the bone.

"Quick, escape." The shattered super-large mechanical treasure's remaining disciples were so terrified that they immediately flew away. The fastest to flee, however, were the two other super-large mechanical treasures.

Luo Feng stepped out of the artificing shop, looked up at the sky, and said coldly, "I'm dealing with things, and you also dare to speak up? You are truly seeking death."

The words of Luo Feng echoed mightily through the void, clearly heard by the escaping disciples of the Heartshadow Sect.

As he watched the falling super-large treasures break apart in the high sky, Luo Feng waved his hand to collect them. He then stepped forward and teleported through the void to the next artificing shop.
