Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

The conflict in Chu Capital of the Ancient Flame Kingdom quickly spread, first throughout the city and then across the entire Origin Continent.

“Another Chaos Realm transcendent has emerged in the Ancient Flame Kingdom?”

“The seventy-first Chaos Realm transcendent on the entire Origin Continent!”

“Luo He the Great Sage?”

Various forces, both overt and covert, across the Origin Continent, took great interest in this news. After all, a ‘Chaos Realm transcendent’ could already be considered equivalent to an ordinary Divine King. In terms of numbers, Chaos Realm transcendents were even rarer than Divine Kings.

The name of Luo He the Great Sage was recorded by many nations and powers.

“What? He has already become a Chaos Realm transcendent?” Princess Yu Shui Tianyu of Yuguo was also somewhat stunned when she received the news. “When he was secluded in Huyang City, he only displayed the strength of an Eternal True God. Now, after going to Chu Capital… he’s already a Chaos Realm transcendent.”

“No wonder he didn’t apprentice under my father,” the princess murmured, beginning to understand.

A Chaos Realm transcendent held a status equal to that of an ordinary Divine King and would naturally aspire to apprentice under an Emperor!

Of course, the strongest on the Origin Continent most sought to apprentice under the founders of the two ancient kingdoms. However, the founders of these ancient kingdoms only appeared once in a long while. Even for some ancient Divine Kings, it was difficult to even meet them, let alone apprentice under them.

Emperors were more commonly seen on the Origin Continent.

“Luo He the Great Sage is actually a Chaos Realm transcendent?” Marquis Liu Yin was also shocked when he heard the news. “Last time we fought, he only showed the strength of a peak Chaos Realm, and he didn’t destroy my true body. Was he deliberately hiding his strength, or did he only break through after arriving in Chu Capital?”

Marquis Liu Yin felt a sense of unease.

Gaining a ‘Chaos Realm transcendent’ enemy was naturally a headache.

“His city, ‘Huyang City,’ is right next to my fiefdom,” Marquis Liu Yin thought, his mind in turmoil.

“Hahaha…” On the other side, Marquis Jiugang was overjoyed when he received the news. “Brother Luo He has actually become a Chaos Realm transcendent! The fact that I gave him Huyang City was a brilliant move, just brilliant.”

His fiefdom’s future was now secure, and he had gained a powerful ally.

The difference between a Chaos Realm elite and a peak Chaos Realm expert wasn’t too significant. For instance, Marquis Jiugang could exchange a few blows with Marquis Liu Yin and still manage to escape.

However, the gap between a peak Chaos Realm expert and a Chaos Realm transcendent was immense.

This was a qualitative leap!

Normally, Chaos Realm transcendents cultivated some special inheritance with the help of primordial force or materials, granting them power equivalent to that of a Divine King. This enabled them to completely overwhelm those at the peak of the Chaos Realm.

Luo Feng’s ability to reach this level was thanks to his ‘Formless and Shapeless’ technique.

…

The Ancient Thunder Kingdom, the other core power on the Origin Continent, had drawn many peripheral nations to its side.

In these peripheral nations, there were no Yan Feng Pavilions, only the Thunder Chambers of Commerce.

In a city on the border of the Ancient Thunder Kingdom—

“Boom~~~”

A burly man with green-scaled wings, clad in heavy armor, was riding a Chaos-level beast that emanated endless cold air. He led his personal guards as they descended from the sky, heading straight for the City Lord’s mansion. ȐäℕỖΒΕȿ

“City Lord.” The subordinates inside the City Lord’s mansion bowed respectfully when they saw the burly man.

This man was the most revered figure in the entire city—the City Lord, *Zuo Shan Jin*.

“Prepare some food and drink immediately,” the burly man ordered as he headed towards the main hall. The Chaos-level beast flew to its designated area within the City Lord’s mansion.

Inside the hall, the burly man retracted his enormous wings, and an invisible aura naturally spread out. His deep eyes held a slight smile at the corners of his mouth.

“My disciple’s talent is truly remarkable. After arriving on the Origin Continent for only a little over thirty eras, he has already become a Chaos Realm transcendent,” the burly man mused. “His potential far surpasses mine.”

“Revenge is within reach. Revenge is within reach,” he thought.

This burly man was none other than the reincarnated Zuo Shan Ke, having come to the Origin Continent.

As Luo Feng’s master, based on detailed information about Luo He—such as his rise on the Origin Continent, the weapons he had used, his divine body as tall as the heavens and earth, and the fact that he had few close companions except one named ‘Yuan’—Zuo Shan Ke could easily deduce that Luo He was indeed Luo Feng.

“Although I place my greatest hope in my disciple, I must also strive hard myself. When the time comes to fight Shiguo, I must not become a burden to him. At the very least, I should be able to hold off Shiguo to some extent,” the burly man thought. “Back then, I aligned myself with the Ancient Flame Kingdom. In this life, I shall serve as a guest official of the Ancient Thunder Kingdom.”

“The Ancient Thunder Kingdom should have some different inheritances compared to the Ancient Flame Kingdom.”

“I hope that in this life, I can make further progress in my strength.”

Zuo Shan Ke was well aware that he had only escaped the pursuit of the three rulers of Shiguo because of his life-saving abilities. However, to seek revenge, mere life-saving skills would not suffice. He needed a fundamental breakthrough in power.

“The Ancient Thunder Kingdom excels in cultivating with ‘primordial bloodlines.’ This life, I will attempt this path,” Zuo Shan Ke knew this path was equally arduous and could even lead to madness, but there was no doubt that if successful, the power gained would be terrifying.

The ancient beings in the Ancient Thunder Kingdom were no less powerful than the Emperors of the Ancient Flame Kingdom.

…

The name of Luo He the Great Sage began to spread across the entire Origin Continent for the first time.

In Chu Capital, many sought to visit or make connections with Luo Feng, and some even wished to apprentice under him. However, Luo Feng had no intention of taking another disciple. The first disciple he had taken on the Origin Continent was being taught by Morosa; he certainly couldn’t take another disciple only to have Morosa teach them again.

“Master, many people have been inviting me recently,” Moyu Qingyan said to Luo Feng. “Can I go out?”

“Go if you want to,” Luo Feng nodded. “In the long years of cultivation ahead, you’ll have to decide for yourself what friends to make and how to conduct yourself. Of course, you’ll also have to bear the consequences of your choices.”

Moyu Qingyan seemed thoughtful and immediately replied, “I understand, Master.”

Luo Feng then turned and left.

“Qingyan,” Morosa said, “The waters in Chu Capital run deep. As a mere Void True God, you might not even notice if you were being manipulated by illusion techniques. For the time being, I’ll accompany you when you go out.”

Morosa was quite concerned about Moyu Qingyan, having invested far more effort in teaching this disciple than Luo Feng had.

“That’s great.” Moyu Qingyan also breathed a sigh of relief. He had been feeling stifled while cultivating in the cave mansion, and he was equally curious about Chu Capital, one of the most prosperous cities on the entire Origin Continent.

Yuanzu had also received invitations from some factions within Chu Capital.

Yuanzu, of course, did not refuse, leisurely accepting each invitation. However, every time he attended, it was only his illusory avatar that went. His illusory avatar was almost indistinguishable from his true body, except that it lacked a True God’s heart.

…

In Luo Feng’s cave mansion, within the quiet chamber and the internal space of the Star Tower.

As a Chaos Realm transcendent, Luo Feng ignored most of the visitors from various factions in Chu Capital, allowing him to focus on his cultivation.

“Brother Luo He,” Emperor Chu Yu contacted him. “I’ve carefully selected some high-merit missions, all of which are extremely difficult and have long gone uncompleted by guest officials. You might want to take a look.”

Soon, Emperor Chu Yu sent over a batch of detailed mission information.

Luo Feng immediately began reviewing it.

The first mission was to completely kill the Chaos Realm ‘City Lord Sayu.’

City Lord Sayu, at the peak of the Chaos Realm, was a city lord within the Ancient Thunder Kingdom. During his travels, he manipulated the desires of countless beings, causing the deaths of many, including three Eternal True Gods of the royal family of the Ancient Flame Kingdom.

After realizing the identities of those who died, City Lord Sayu immediately defected to the Ancient Thunder Kingdom.

This mission was worth 200,000 merits!

“Completely kill him?” Luo Feng frowned as he read. “According to the mission requirements, complete annihilation means ensuring that the enemy disappears entirely from the Origin Continent, leaving no trace of their causal existence.”

Whether the target had reincarnated was difficult to determine.

After all, if reincarnation were kept secret, no one would be able to tell.

“City Lord Sayu is skilled in mind manipulation. According to the intelligence, his mental will has definitely reached the Divine King level,” Luo Feng mused. “My mental will, at the second level of the Divine King realm, might only be slightly

stronger than his. Even with the use of the ‘Lieu Yuan Technique,’ I still wouldn’t be able to kill him.”

Chaos Realm peak experts who had cultivated for endless eras had often honed their mental will to great strength, even creating their own will-based secret techniques. To kill them through sheer willpower? The difficulty was immense.

“There are quite a few bounty missions,” Luo Feng found. Many missions targeting Chaos Realm experts had gone uncompleted for ages.

On the one hand, Emperors had no interest in dealing with weaker Chaos Realm beings.

Although Chaos Realm experts might have killed a few Eternal True Gods of the royal family or been caught stealing some rare treasures, such trivial matters didn’t concern the Emperors.

And while some Divine Kings could kill Chaos Realm experts, as long as the target’s consciousness remained clear for even a moment, they could immediately reincarnate. This would create a hidden enemy.

Divine Kings might not fear Chaos Realm experts, but what about their children? Their cherished friends and family?

So killing a Chaos Realm expert was indeed a troublesome task.

“Few are willing to take on the task of killing Chaos Realm experts,” Luo Feng thought. “When the time comes to face the rulers of Shiguo, the difficulty will be immeasurably greater.”

After becoming a Chaos Realm guest official, Emperor Chu Yu, as a first-class marquis, provided Luo Feng with extensive detailed intelligence about the Origin Continent.

Luo Feng had also gained a deeper understanding of the three rulers of Shiguo.

Shiguo’s ‘Heavenly Kun Ruler,’ a being at the second level of the Divine King realm, served as a guest official of the Ancient Flame Kingdom and had cultivated a powerful inheritance. His strength was formidable, with few on the entire Origin Continent surpassing him, and his survival skills were unparalleled.

Even if an Emperor were to act, they could suppress Heavenly Kun Ruler but couldn’t guarantee his complete death.

Even the notorious Divine King of the first level, the ‘Snow Realm Ancestor,’ who had committed countless atrocities, still lived today, proving the survival abilities of these ancient beings.

“The stronger one becomes, the more mysterious and unfathomable their survival skills. To completely kill Heavenly Kun Ruler of Shiguo, preventing even his reincarnation… what level of strength would I need?” Luo Feng shook his head lightly. “I still have a long way to go.”
