Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 124: The Mystery of the Star Tower

In Luo Feng’s cave abode.

Morosa and Moyu Qingyan, this master and disciple pair in practice, were enjoying a meal together.

“Qingyan,” Morosa said, gnawing on a large piece of meat with relish, “Your master is now a Chaos Realm Transcendent, and the resources he casually bestows upon you are things even Eternal True Gods struggle to obtain. You, a mere Void True God, must seize this opportunity and not waste your master’s efforts.”

“I understand,” Moyu Qingyan replied, knowing full well that as a disciple of a Chaos Realm Transcendent, his current strength was indeed too weak.

“And another thing!” Morosa continued, “In the Chu Capital, many have hosted banquets for you, and many noble daughters from great families are smitten with you… You need to stay clear-headed, boy.”

Moyu Qingyan offered a wry smile.

The advances of some noble daughters had indeed tempted Moyu Qingyan, who had come from a small place like Huyang City.

“As a cultivator, with an infinite lifespan, women are not a necessity,” Morosa said. “Look at me, look at Yuan, look at your master! None of us have women by our side! Why? Because women can distract you from your cultivation!”

Moyu Qingyan was taken aback.

It was true!

His master, Lord Morosa, and Divine Lord Yuan—none of them had women in their lives.

“Focus on your cultivation!” Morosa emphasized.

“But there are many cultivators who do marry,” Moyu Qingyan couldn’t help but argue. During his time in the Chu Capital, there were indeed two noble daughters who had deeply moved him.

“You know the logic, so handle it as you see fit,” Morosa said as he stood up.

Moyu Qingyan remained seated, lost in thought.

He had seen many couples, including his parents, who were willing to sacrifice their lives for each other and had lovingly raised their children together.

“I’ll wait a bit longer, observe a bit more,” Moyu Qingyan decided, feeling that he had indeed been somewhat blinded lately, unable to see through the hearts of those women.

As Morosa stepped outside, he immediately noticed his master, Luo Feng, descending from the sky.

“Master,” Morosa quickly approached.

“Come with me,” Luo Feng said with a mysterious smile.

Morosa, seeing his master’s smile, felt a thrill of excitement. He quickly suppressed his joy and followed Luo Feng to the meditation chamber.

In the meditation chamber, within one of the spaces inside the Star Tower, which was exclusively Morosa’s cultivation space.

Luo Feng and Morosa stood there together.

“I just went out and killed a top-tier Chaos Realm being,” Luo Feng said to Morosa. “He cultivated the Origin Path of Life, and his physical body was rather unique.” ⱤᴀℕőBĚs̩

As he spoke, Luo Feng waved his hand, and the massive corpse of Beiyu the Great Sage fell into the space.

Morosa’s eyes immediately lit up upon seeing it.

He could sense the terrifying aura emanating from the corpse, far stronger than the chaotic bloodline that Xue Yun had barely broken through at his death.

“To have a corpse after killing a Chaos Realm being is rare indeed,” Morosa said in surprise.

Typically, if the opponent had a revival vessel, as long as they retained a trace of consciousness, their true form would completely disintegrate. Therefore, obtaining the corpse of a Chaos Realm being was a rare occurrence.

“Since reaching the Chaos Realm, my progress has been slow,” Morosa admitted. “I’ve had to rely on absorbing the power of heaven and earth, but this time, I can finally make significant improvements.”

Morosa’s absorption of the power of heaven and earth was not slow; in about one era, he could absorb the energy reserves of a Perfect Divine Body at the Chaos Realm. However, the power of heaven and earth was pure energy, offering limited help.

In contrast, the corpse of a strong being contained their own laws, greatly aiding the growth of the “World” within him.

“Take your time and cultivate,” Luo Feng said with a smile, before leaving the space.

Morosa immediately began using a secret technique, and Beiyu the Great Sage’s massive corpse started being absorbed and digested. The essence of the Origin Path of Life contained within the corpse began to integrate into the “World” within Morosa, causing it to grow, albeit slowly.

As the World grew, Morosa naturally comprehended more of the mysteries of the Origin Path of Destruction.

Normal cultivators often focused on different branches of the Origin Path of Destruction. However, Morosa was simultaneously comprehending every branch, progressing comprehensively.

In Luo Feng’s exclusive cultivation space within the Star Tower.

Luo Feng began studying the Seventy-Two Blades of Annihilation.

Previously, Luo Feng had never received a Divine King-level inheritance in the direction of the Origin Path of Destruction. The blade techniques he had cultivated before, such as the Nine Blades of Breaking the Realm, were created by beings who themselves were only at the Chaos Realm, and who hadn’t fully understood even one branch of the Origin Path of Destruction. When Luo Feng studied those techniques, he only grew more confused.

Even with his powerful mental will and the ability to comprehend parts of the Origin Path of Destruction that Morosa displayed, his progress was still slow.

“This is what a true inheritance should be!”

As Luo Feng carefully studied the first volume of the Seventy-Two Blades of Annihilation, especially the vast amount of information on the Sky-Cleaving Lineage, he was moved to tears.

The creator of the Seventy-Two Blades of Annihilation was at an incredibly high level and explained the Sky-Cleaving Lineage from various perspectives, making it incredibly clear. Many of the doubts Luo Feng had after reaching the Chaos Realm naturally dissipated.

His understanding of the Sky-Cleaving Lineage continued to improve.

Luo Feng meticulously studied every sentence in the inheritance, carefully analyzing it before moving on to the next. After spending more than half an era, he had thoroughly studied both the Sky-Cleaving Lineage and the Dark Sky Lineage.

After this study, Luo Feng felt as though he had been reborn.

“So, this is what the Sky-Cleaving Lineage and Dark Sky Lineage are truly about.” Luo Feng had previously been confused, seeing things as if through a veil, but now the paths of these two lineages were clear.

He had even deeply understood the Sky-Cleaving Lineage, comprehending more than half of it.

Of course, this was the easier half to understand. The more advanced aspects were much more difficult! Many peak Chaos Realm beings were stuck at the final bottleneck, unable to take that last step to become a Divine King.

“A truly top-tier inheritance is incredibly helpful,” Luo Feng realized. Before reaching the Chaos Realm, he hadn’t worried about inheritances because the ones from the Undying River of the Broken Eastern River lineage and Master Zuo Shan Ke were sufficient for his comprehension. He hadn’t shared the longing many Eternal True Gods had for an inheritance.

It was only after reaching the Chaos Realm that he felt the difference that a true inheritance could make!

Whoosh~~~

Luo Feng sat there, his hand lightly slicing through the space, effortlessly cleaving through layers of space as if cutting through tofu.

“Understanding the operation of the laws allows one to amplify the power of a single force ten thousand or even a million times. This is the Dao,” Luo Feng said with a smile.

Suddenly—

A mighty galaxy of blade lights appeared in the space within the Star Tower. Twenty thousand galaxy blade lights, in their Yin-Yang Particle Form, each executed the Blade River Slash.

The Blade River Slash was the simplest Chaos Realm blade technique that Luo Feng had refined to minimize the burden on his mind.

Booming sounds echoed as the layers of space within this level of the Star Tower disintegrated into chaos, leaving only the heavy world membrane intact.

“The Blade River Slash can still be simplified and purified.”

With a deeper understanding of the Sky-Cleaving Lineage and Dark Sky Lineage, Luo Feng began incorporating these insights into the Blade River Slash, gradually transforming the technique to include some simple applications of the Sky-Cleaving Lineage and Dark Sky Lineage.

Even at the most rudimentary level, these applications placed minimal burden on his mind while slightly increasing the technique’s power.

“Let’s see how many Blade River Slashes I can execute simultaneously now,” Luo Feng thought.

Thirty thousand galaxy blade lights tore through the space.

Forty thousand galaxy blade lights, fifty thousand galaxy blade lights…

He reached a peak of eighty-three thousand galaxy blade lights before feeling that the burden on his mind was too much.

“After half an era of studying the Seventy-Two Blades of Annihilation, the insights I gained from the Sky-Cleaving Lineage and Dark Sky Lineage have allowed me to control this many blade lights?” Luo Feng was overjoyed. This power had increased several times compared to before.

“If I fully master the Sky-Cleaving Lineage and Dark Sky Lineage to the peak of the Chaos Realm, what would my limits be? How many blade lights could I control then?” Luo Feng wondered, curious about his potential limits at the Chaos Realm level.

“Hmm?”

Luo Feng suddenly looked around the space, feeling a bit shocked and puzzled.

“My galaxy blade light has increased several times in power. Although it might lack the subtleties compared

to a beginner Divine King, its sheer might is definitely not inferior,” Luo Feng knew this for certain.

A single unit of galaxy blade light in the Yin-Yang Particle Form, performing the Blade River Slash, was comparable to the full-force strike of a mid-level Chaos Realm strongman, burning divine power to the limit.

Eighty-three thousand of such strongmen combined? In pure power, it was not inferior to a Divine King of the first realm.

“The Star Tower was crafted by my master. My master is only at the first realm of the Divine King level, so the Star Tower should also be a first-realm Divine King artifact,” Luo Feng mused. “Like the long staff I obtained from Marquis Chu Yuan, which is also a first-realm Divine King weapon.”

“As a first-realm Divine King artifact, the Star Tower should be able to withstand my full-force strike. But it should feel some pressure, right?”

“But…”

“I’ve attacked with all my might repeatedly, and the Star Tower feels no pressure at all.”

Luo Feng hadn’t noticed this when his strength was lower, but as he approached the first realm of the Divine King level, he discovered this issue.

Whoosh.

Luo Feng stepped over to the internal wall of the Star Tower and punched it. The wall vibrated slightly before easily dissipating the impact. Luo Feng gradually increased his power, each punch growing stronger.

Until finally, Luo Feng unleashed the full power of his transformation technique, with its billions of units.

Using eighty-three thousand units of galaxy blade light, Luo Feng could perform a Chaos Realm-level technique like the Blade River Slash. But when unleashing the power of billions of units through his transformation technique, he could only perform the most basic of attacks, though the raw power was immense, crashing into the wall.

The wall still only vibrated slightly before dissipating the force.

“What? Even my full-force close-range strike doesn’t even dent the wall?” Luo Feng was in disbelief.

“That means if I were trapped inside, I wouldn’t be able to escape.”

“Even a being ten or a hundred times stronger than me might not be able to get out if trapped inside.” As the master of the Star Tower, Luo Feng could sense that his attacks were far from the tower’s limits.

How far from the limit, he couldn’t say. He only knew that even at full power, the Star Tower showed no signs of strain.

Luo Feng couldn’t believe it: “A first-realm Divine King artifact shouldn’t be this strong!”

This defied common sense.

A first-realm Divine King artifact would need to expend divine power and focus to suppress a being of the same level.

“My master, Zuo Shan Ke, as far as I know, was only the ruler of a peripheral kingdom on the Origin Continent,” Luo Feng reflected. “My master mentioned that during the crafting of the Star Tower, there was an accident— a golden light merged into the Star Tower, accelerating its formation…”

Luo Feng had not noticed the significance of this when he discussed it with his master before.

But thinking back now…

A Divine King crafting an artifact would exert strict control over the environment, yet an accident occurred, allowing a foreign object to merge with the Star Tower? Clearly, the appearance of this object had exceeded the Divine King’s control over the environment.

“This Star Tower…” Luo Feng carefully examined it. As a treasure that had accompanied him for many long years, Luo Feng realized for the first time that there was something mysterious about it.
