Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Luo Feng left the Emperor Chu Palace and returned to his own residence.

“Master.” Morosa had already been waiting to greet him.

Luo Feng smiled and glanced at him, “I’ve already become a disciple of the Emperor.”

Morosa immediately showed a look of joy. Although General Xuan Jiao had come to invite him, making it almost certain, Morosa was still worried that something might go wrong… After all, he was a Boundary Beast, and he was afraid of implicating his master.

“I’m going into seclusion for a while. Unless it’s something important, don’t bother me,” Luo Feng instructed. He planned to consume the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit, so naturally, he needed to fully focus on his cultivation.

Except for his master, ‘Emperor Chu,’ he would cut off all contact with the outside world. Of course, Morosa could still communicate with him through telepathy.

During this period of seclusion, even the Origin Ancestor, Moyu Qingyan, and Di Chu Yu would not be able to contact him.

“Don’t worry, Master,” Morosa responded.

Luo Feng also sent messages to the Origin Ancestor and the others.

Whoosh.

Immediately, Luo Feng headed towards the meditation chamber.

“Master has become a disciple of the Emperor,” Morosa thought excitedly. As a Boundary Beast, he had always been terrified on the Origin Continent! After all, aside from the Boundary Beast in the Tianmu Kingdom, all other Boundary Beasts in the history of the Origin Continent had died.

“When I become a Peak Boundary Beast and Master has the Emperor behind him, my situation shouldn’t be worse than that Boundary Beast in the Tianmu Kingdom,” Morosa pondered.

“If I could get my hands on more powerful Chaos Realm corpses, maybe I could become a Divine King.”

The last time, the corpse of the Great Sage of the North had greatly enhanced Morosa’s strength!

But the bottleneck between the Chaos Realm and the Divine King was incredibly difficult to break! For Morosa, it also required the ‘world’ within him to undergo a qualitative change.

…

In the meditation chamber, one of the many layers within the Star Tower.

Luo Feng gazed at the light red fruit in front of him. Just the faint fragrance from it made his soul feel incredibly relaxed and joyful, and his thoughts began to flow several times faster.

“This is a rare treasure bestowed by the Flame Wind Ancestor to my master. Even in the Source World, such a rare treasure cannot be nurtured,” Luo Feng understood the value of this rare item.

For his master, Emperor Chu, who stood at the pinnacle of the Origin Continent, with the Flame Wind Ancestor backing him, they could see through the entire past of the Origin Continent and even glimpse traces of the future. They had access to the truths of the Source World and many secrets beyond it.

For Emperor Chu, his vision was extremely long-term, even considering what would happen after the end of the Source World…

But for Luo Feng, the future still seemed endless!

In the Primal Universe, even one cycle era was incredibly long. Tens of thousands of cycle eras under the supreme rules of the Source World were just a short span of time. Luo Feng wasn’t as far-sighted as Emperor Chu; he only thought about taking one step at a time.

Taking each step forward to reach the peak of the Origin Continent, he could repay his master’s kindness and help Master Zuo Shan Ke get his revenge.

“Now that I’ve arrived in the Chu Capital, I’ve finally experienced what top-tier resources feel like,” Luo Feng sighed inwardly.

Before coming here, he was too poor, not even having access to a proper Divine King-level inheritance.

Now, with the “Eight Tribulations Life Form” and the “Seventy-Two Slash Annihilation” inheritances, both surpassed the ultimate level of the Divine King, and their creators had extremely high realms.

As for the cultivation resources, those royal elites, direct disciples of Divine Kings, and others had long used these resources regularly. Luo Feng had never even come into contact with these kinds of resources before.

“This kind of rare treasure.”

Luo Feng looked at the light red fruit, “Let’s give it a taste.”

He gently bit into it. The flesh was slightly firm, but with Luo Feng’s powerful divine body, he naturally chewed it up and swallowed it quickly. He soon finished the entire fruit. Once the fruit entered his body, it began to gradually break down, and the energy started to spread, affecting his soul.

“Hm?” Luo Feng immediately felt different.

With his Perfect Divine Body, his soul was already strong. Additionally, he possessed the mental will of a Divine King Second Stage, and his thinking speed was already incredibly fast.

But at this moment, under the nourishment of the fruit’s energy, his soul’s thinking speed easily reached more than twenty times its previous level. Moreover, his soul felt much more ethereal, and as he thought about the “Life Spirit Chapter” in the first tribulation of the “Eight Tribulations Life Form,” the confusions he had before were now easily resolved.

“When I cultivated before, I would occasionally have moments of clarity.”

“But now, my comprehension has greatly increased, and many confusions are no longer confusing. My thinking speed has also increased more than twentyfold.”

“This is the effect of the top-tier resources on the Origin Continent for aiding cultivation?”

Luo Feng no longer pondered further and began to fully focus on comprehending his inheritances.

…

At the core of the Origin Land in the Primal Universe.

Luo Feng’s Divine Power Incarnation stood before the vast and towering Origin Path of Life.

“The Origin Path of Life…” Luo Feng observed it. Because he had consumed the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit, his consciousness now observed the complete Origin Path of Life with much more clarity, and his comprehension was greatly enhanced. He saw changes in the path itself.

In his eyes, the Origin Path of Life initially appeared as a gigantic, winding dragon with twenty-four claws.

But upon closer inspection, he saw its deeper essence.

“The outward form of this Origin Path of Life actually contains six major branches,” Luo Feng realized. Each of these branches was mysterious and unfathomable, and when combined perfectly, they formed an even more vast and complex whole.

Just like the Ten Fundamental Laws, each one by itself was simple, and even those below True Gods could comprehend many of them.

However, to merge the Ten Fundamental Laws into one, to merge them into the ‘Law of Chaos,’ could only be accomplished by those at the Chaos Realm!

The same logic applied!

The six branches of the Origin Path of Life—mastering any one of them completely would place one in the Divine King First Stage.

It wasn’t too difficult to master all six branches completely.

But to fully merge the six branches into one… the difficulty would multiply beyond comprehension. Only when the six branches were fully fused would one attain the complete Origin Path of Life, reaching the Divine King Ultimate Stage.

“The gap between the Divine King First Stage and the Divine King Ultimate Stage is enormous,” Luo Feng now understood the differences between the ancient beings on the Origin Continent.

Even the royal elites of the two ancient kingdoms had consumed many resources, and some of those resources were not inferior to the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit.

However…

The effect of these resources also depended on who used them.

In the environment of the Primal Universe, where the perception of laws was very faint, Luo Feng had still reached the Eternal True God level. His comprehension could be imagined, and now, after consuming the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit and observing the Origin Path of Life, a multitude of insights continuously flooded his mind.

The six branches of the Origin Path of Life were all progressing.

…

Time passed.

Luo Feng continued to face the Origin Path of Life, while simultaneously comprehending the first tribulation of the “Eight Tribulations Life Form” and the “Seventy-Two Slash Annihilation.” Occasionally, he would have Morosa display the profound mysteries of the Origin Path of Destruction.

During this period of cultivation, Di Chu Yu, the Origin Ancestor, and Moyu Qingyan did not disturb Luo Feng.

Finally, the effects of the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit completely faded.

Luo Feng felt his soul become much heavier and more clouded, and his thinking speed slowed down significantly. After becoming accustomed to the heightened clarity and speed of thought, Luo Feng found this slower state somewhat uncomfortable.

“This one Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit lasted for more than an epoch,” Luo Feng stopped his cultivation, feeling shocked. “In just over an epoch, I’ve made so much progress?”

The six branches of the Origin Path of Life, as well as the six branches of the Origin Path of Destruction, had all progressed significantly.

Because cultivating the Origin Path of Destruction required Morosa to display its profound mysteries, its progress was much slower compared to the Origin Path of Life.

“Twelve branches progressing simultaneously.”

The first tribulation of the “Eight Tribulations Life Form” recorded the three veins: the Life Body, the Life Source, and the Life Spirit. The first volume of the “Seventy-Two Slash Annihilation” recorded the Splitting Heaven Vein and the Dark Heaven Vein.

The progress in these five veins, supported by their inheritances, was naturally much faster.

“The Splitting Heaven and Dark Heaven veins of the Origin Path of Destruction have both reached the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm.”

“The Life Body and Life Source veins of the Origin Path of Life have also reached the

pinnacle of the Chaos Realm.”

“As for the Life Spirit vein, it has reached the peak of the Chaos Realm.”

Luo Feng was amazed.

Even with strong inheritances, a normal Chaos Realm being with high talent might need tens of thousands of epochs to reach the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm.

Luo Feng estimated that without the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit, it might have taken him one or two hundred epochs of focused cultivation to reach his current level.

“One Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit is worth a hundredfold effect?”

“The most important factor is… enhanced comprehension! When facing bottlenecks, improved comprehension makes breakthroughs much easier.” Luo Feng understood that the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit was best used when attempting to break through bottlenecks.

Luo Feng now clearly sensed that he had already comprehended all the profound mysteries of the ‘Life Spirit’ branch. All that remained was the final step—perfectly merging everything into one, forming a complete branch, which would allow him to become a Divine King.

“There are many Chaos Realm beings at the peak level on the Origin Continent, and even in the border kingdoms, there are quite a few of them. Some, who have obtained top-tier resources, can even cultivate to the ‘Transcendent Chaos Realm.’ But they still cannot become Divine Kings.”

“It’s because perfectly merging all the mysteries into one is far more difficult than comprehending all of them.” Luo Feng understood the challenge.

Comprehending all the mysteries was like a learning process; slowly learning would result in steady progress.

But merging everything into one was a qualitative leap!

“I have ten of these fruits in total. According to my master’s instructions, I’m to use five in the Chaos Realm and five in the Divine King First Stage,” Luo Feng thought. “Based on the effect of the first fruit…”

“With the help of the first fruit, my level has advanced significantly, and my strength has greatly improved.”

“Now I must be patient and let all the branches gradually accumulate as I comprehend them on my own, reaching the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm.”

“When the five branches of the first tribulation of the ‘Eight Tribulations Life Form’ and the first volume of the ‘Seventy-Two Slash Annihilation’ all reach the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm, then I’ll consume the second fruit.” Luo Feng was well aware of how difficult it was to become a Divine King.

Thus, these Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruits had to be used at the most critical moments.

Only by reaching the peak of the Chaos Realm without relying on external resources would he be able to hope for further advancement with the help of external aids later.

“Whoo.”

Luo Feng left the meditation chamber. As he looked at the scenery around him, he saw that the flowers and plants seemed to be bursting with vitality, growing rapidly. The branches and leaves of the trees were full of life, swaying as if they were about to come alive.

“If I advance further, I might be able to easily awaken these ordinary flowers, plants, and trees,” Luo Feng thought.

Morosa, the Origin Ancestor, and Moyu Qingyan all came over. After all, Luo Feng had been in seclusion for a long time. When they saw Luo Feng, they noticed that the surrounding plants and flowers were all blooming, and the entire space was filled with the energy of life.

“Master,” Moyu Qingyan felt that his master was different but couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

Morosa, whose realm was high enough, could sense that Luo Feng’s life energy was far more terrifying than before—more terrifying than that of a Boundary Beast like him.

“Master’s aura… why is it so terrifying?” Morosa was secretly shocked.

The Origin Ancestor looked at Luo Feng, sensing an invisible aura that even affected the operation of the ‘illusory universe’ constructed within him: “An individual so powerful that they naturally influence the operation of the heavens and the earth, even affecting the operation of my internal illusory universe. The current Luo Feng feels much stronger than before he went into seclusion.”

“Master, are you about to become a Divine King?” Morosa couldn’t help but ask.

“Not even close,” Luo Feng laughed, “After being in seclusion for so long, my mouth has lost its taste. Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go—let’s go have a meal at Yu Jiufang’s place.”

“Alright, alright, alright.”

Morosa was overjoyed, and the Origin Ancestor and Moyu Qingyan also brightened up.

Yu Jiufang was a Chaos Realm being who had mastered the culinary arts! His food was comparable to some of the world’s rarest treasures.

The Origin Ancestor and Moyu Qingyan were both very tempted. As the greatest culinary master in the Chu Capital, inviting him to cook wasn’t easy.

Only Divine Kings and Transcendent Chaos Realm beings could convince him to serve them a meal.
