Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

The Emperor observed Luo Feng closely. “This Luo He possesses the characteristics of a chaotic-layer lifeform. After becoming a guest official, he exchanged for the first tribulation of the ‘Eight Tribulations Life Form.’ Not long ago, Chu Yu even helped him acquire the body materials of the Golden Feather Divine Bird.”

As the Emperor of the Emperor Chu lineage, all intelligence regarding Luo Feng’s arrival in Chu Capital was naturally presented to him after being collected.

Normally, the Emperor couldn’t be bothered to review such matters, but now, with a particular interest, he began to investigate Luo Feng’s various circumstances.

“Whether it’s our Ancient Flame Kingdom or the Ancient Thunder Kingdom, I’ve never heard of anyone reaching Chaos Realm transcendence through the use of a ‘chaotic-layer lifeform-type body refining method.’”

“In other words, did he create this body refining method himself?” The Emperor’s interest was piqued.

With his keen perception, he understood that those who transcended in the Chaos Realm on the Origin Continent usually did so by cultivating special inheritances. For example, some relied on primordial force cultivation, while others utilized primordial materials… Only by such means could one attain the strength of Chaos Realm transcendence.

Creating a secret technique to achieve Chaos Realm transcendence?

This represented immense potential!

“That brat Chu Yu brought back a highly talented cultivator?” the Emperor mused.

At this moment, the Emperor’s regard for Luo Feng rose above that of a first-class marquis.

The royal family had proliferated over countless ages, to the point where their numbers were immeasurable. Countless royal members had been cast into small universes to fend for themselves, demonstrating the Emperor’s general attitude towards the royal family.

Even the Infinite Divine Bodies of the royal family and the first-class marquises were valued by the Emperor primarily for cultivating the future generations of the clan.

“This Luo He, who can create a secret technique for Chaos Realm transcendence while in the Chaos Realm, might one day become a peer of ours.” The Emperor continued to scrutinize Luo Feng. As an Emperor himself, he faced numerous trials and challenges.

Even the Flame Ancestor, who stood high above, advanced through darkness.

“Investigate his past more thoroughly. His traces on the Origin Continent are too sparse,” the Emperor contemplated. “If there are no issues, he can be fully drawn to our side.”

…

Emperor Chu Yu was hovering above the Marquis’s residence, gazing towards Qianxing Tower, feeling somewhat impatient.

Suddenly—

The silver light prison that had originally sealed Qianxing Tower suddenly vanished, revealing a figure in black robes—it was Luo Feng.

Luo Feng held a meatball in one hand, which was none other than the bound-up ‘Marquis Chu Yuan.’

This scene caused Emperor Chu Yu’s heart to warm.

“Are all the enemies gone? Only Luo He remains?” Emperor Chu Yu speculated, “What is that meatball in Luo He’s hand?”

Swoosh.

At that moment, Emperor Chu Yu immediately dashed towards Qianxing Tower.

However, the area around Qianxing Tower was completely deserted.

“This is just a minor punishment. If you provoke me again, I will make sure you suffer more,” Luo Feng casually tossed the meatball into the distance, where it quickly reformed into a black-haired, ugly figure.

Marquis Chu Yuan, covered in black hair and looking grotesque, stood dazed in midair.

Having been pummeled into mush, even liquefied, Marquis Chu Yuan had only felt agony, as if he were trapped in an endless nightmare, and only now regained his freedom.

“This is a minor punishment?” Marquis Chu Yuan glanced at Luo Feng, not daring to say more. He quickly turned and flew away.

Only then did Luo Feng wave his hand, releasing all the buildings of Qianxing Tower and the cultivators inside.

The numerous cultivators looked at the black-clad man outside with excitement, all bowing respectfully and shouting, “Thank you, Great Sage!”

“Thank you, Great Sage!”

Each of the cultivators was deeply grateful.

Chaos Realm Great Sages were lofty beings, and not many cared about such weak lives as theirs. Although innocents caught in the crossfire in Chu Capital would face punishment, it was still dependent on their power and status. ℞ä𐌽ỘΒĘS̩

Some ordinary cultivators, if unintentionally involved, would only face minor punishments.

Even when Marquis Chu Yuan killed the personal guards and attendants of Emperor Chu Yu, he was merely fined several thousand merit points.

Luo Feng glanced at the many cultivators of Qianxing Tower and sighed inwardly. On the Origin Continent, many strong individuals didn’t care much about the lives of the lower ranks. Not deliberately slaughtering them was already considered good; unintentional collateral damage was quite common.

“Luo He, my brother.” Emperor Chu Yu stepped out from the void, approaching Luo Feng. Finally, he dared to reveal his true form outside the Marquis’s residence, unable to contain his excitement. “What exactly happened? Didn’t Marquis Chu Yuan, Marquis Chu Ji, and the three guest officials join forces against you?”

“They dared to target ‘Yuan’ at my side, forcing me to show myself,” Luo Feng said, anger evident. “Naturally, I couldn’t just endure it and had to give them some punishment.”

“Give them some punishment?” Emperor Chu Yu blinked.

One against five, and yet he punished the others?

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s head to your residence, Luo He. We need to have a good talk,” Emperor Chu Yu sensed a massive opportunity right before him.

“Let’s go.” Luo Feng nodded and immediately took Emperor Chu Yu through the void. With just two steps, they returned to the cave mansion.

Luo He’s Cave Mansion.

Emperor Chu Yu was secretly astonished. The spatial suppression in Chu Capital was quite strong, and generally, those in the Chaos Realm could only teleport short distances. Yet, Luo Feng had taken him from Qianxing Tower to the cave mansion in just two steps, showcasing his extraordinary mastery of void travel.

“They teamed up against you, and you punished them. What kind of punishment?” Emperor Chu Yu immediately asked.

“That Guest Official Xun had a causal escape technique and was quite adept at fleeing,” Luo Feng praised. “She managed to escape with Marquis Chu Ji, and I couldn’t stop them. As for the other three… I destroyed the true bodies of two of them, took all their treasures, and then pummeled Marquis Chu Yuan into a pulp and seized his Divine King weapon. That should count as punishment.”

Luo Feng didn’t intend to hide anything, as he still needed Emperor Chu Yu’s help to sell these spoils in exchange for some cultivation resources he required.

Emperor Chu Yu’s eyes widened slightly.

One against five, and he completely overwhelmed them?

Two of them escaped only due to a causal escape technique?

“Luo He, brother, your current strength?” Emperor Chu Yu was getting excited.

“Fortunately, the feathers of the Golden Feather Divine Bird you brought me, Brother Chu Yu, helped with my body-refining technique, allowing it to advance further,” Luo Feng smiled. “I barely reached the level of Chaos Realm transcendence, though my methods are still somewhat crude.”

Emperor Chu Yu said with delight, “Brother Luo He, being able to thoroughly overwhelm five opponents, I suspected you had reached Chaos Realm transcendence.”

“My techniques still need a lot of refinement,” Luo Feng said.

This was the truth.

Everything was too rough. It was said that those who had transcended the Chaos Realm could contend with a first-level Divine King. However, Luo Feng felt that if he encountered a first-level Divine King, he would likely be toyed with.

He could only bully some at the peak of the Chaos Realm, using his overwhelming power to break their techniques and sweep through them with brute force.

“Brother Luo He, you’re already very strong. Our entire Emperor Chu lineage has only two Chaos Realm transcendents,” Emperor Chu Yu said. “Now, you are the third Chaos Realm transcendent of the Emperor Chu lineage.”

Whether it was Luo Feng or the previous two Chaos Realm transcendents, they were all guest officials of the Emperor Chu lineage.

“With your current status, you’re entirely different from the past,” Emperor Chu Yu said excitedly. “Many troublesome tasks will no longer be troublesome for you. In the future, I can even get you some more dangerous tasks, but the merits will also be greater.”

“By the way, Brother Luo He, are you interested in some tasks on the frontier?” Emperor Chu Yu asked. “The border between the Ancient Flame Kingdom and the Ancient Thunder Kingdom is constantly embroiled in fierce battles.”

“Ordinary conflicts are usually kept at the Chaos Realm level, so a Chaos Realm transcendent has a great advantage on the frontier,” Emperor Chu Yu explained. “It’s only once in tens of thousands of eras that a Divine King-level conflict might erupt, at which point the Chaos Realm experts all retreat.”

Luo Feng was well aware.

The internal competition within the Emperor Chu lineage was fierce, and the struggles among the thirteen branches of the royal family of the Ancient Flame Kingdom were even crazier! As for the two ancient kingdoms… the main reason for the deaths of Divine Kings across the Origin Continent was their involvement in the war between the two ancient kingdoms.

“The frontier missions are not urgent for now,” Luo Feng said. “I still need to retreat and cultivate for a few more years.”

“Fine, I’ll leave it to you, Brother Luo He.” Emperor Chu Yu smiled brightly. “By the way, with your current Chaos Realm transcendence strength, the ancestor might take notice of you and accept you as a personal disciple.”

Luo Feng’s heart stirred.

“Chaos Realm transcendents who serve as guest officials can generally apprentice under an Emperor or a powerful Divine King,” Emperor Chu Yu said. “You just need to wait patiently, and there should be some results soon.”

Luo Feng nodded. Since that was the case, there was no rush to deal with the spoils.

He would wait and see how things developed, making sure to use these spoils where they would have the most impact.

…

With the conclusion of the battle at Qianxing Tower, the details of the fight were quickly clarified and spread throughout the city.

A conflict involving first-class marquises had entangled Guest Official Luo He.

Guest Official Luo He faced five opponents and completely swept them! Marquis Chu Ji and Guest Official Xun escaped using a causal escape technique, while the other three didn’t make it out. Marquis Chu Yuan was beaten into a meatball, and the other two were obliterated without a trace.

This news caused a significant stir among the various forces in Chu Capital.

“This, this…” In the Chu Yu Marquis Residence, the marquis’s wife and their three sons, given their status, naturally learned of this big news.

“Mother, did Uncle single-handedly sweep through five of them?” The eldest son was so excited that his whole body radiated heat. “Is Uncle Luo He a Chaos Realm transcendent?”

“Mother, is Uncle Luo He a Chaos Realm transcendent?”

“In our Emperor Chu lineage, is Uncle Luo He the third Chaos Realm transcendent? His strength comparable to an ordinary Divine King?”

The three sons were all extremely excited.

After all, he was their uncle!

“Those Marquis Chu Ji and Marquis Chu Yuan were blind to provoke your uncle,” the marquis’s wife said with a radiant smile. “Now they’ve suffered a big loss.”

In recent chaos eras, as one of the weakest of the seven first-class marquis factions, both in terms of power and heritage, they had felt quite stifled.

Just then, Emperor Chu Yu walked in from outside.

“Father.”

“Chu Yu.”

The three sons and the wife immediately went to greet him.

“Father, about Uncle?” The youngest son wanted confirmation.

“Hahaha… You should have all heard the news. It’s all true.” Emperor Chu Yu laughed heartily. “My brother Luo He is indeed a Chaos Realm transcendent, but you all need to keep a low profile outside and not become arrogant.”

“Understood.” The three sons immediately responded.

“Wife, prepare a banquet tonight to celebrate my brother Luo He,” Emperor Chu Yu said.

“Alright, I’ll arrange it right away.” The marquis’s wife was also filled with enthusiasm.

“Hahaha…” Emperor Chu Yu laughed as he left. After being stifled for so long, even preparing to endure for many more years, now a surprise from the heavens had arrived, clearing the way for him in the future.

Among the seven first-class marquises, only he, Emperor Chu Yu, had a Chaos Realm transcendent as a guest official.
