Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

A vast Dark World where countless creatures struggled to survive.

"We finally won, we finally completely eliminated this ’Destructive Level Terror.’"

"Out of the seven Destructive Level Terrors, we have finally eliminated one, this is a new beginning."

The three remaining powerful cultivators were quite relieved, and many creatures far behind at the base were even more excited and cheered.

"As long as we pass down the torch, generation by generation, we will eventually eliminate these terrors, and our world will regain light, regain freedom." Countless creatures were filled with longing for the light.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a huge blood-red eye opened in the dark sky.

This scene made the hearts of countless creatures tremble.

"It’s the Dark Eye!"

"Heavenly Dao Level Terror ’Dark Eye.’ " The creatures were terrified.

According to their categorization, among the many terrors invading their world, the one at the very top was called the ’Heavenly Dao Level Terror’—the Dark Eye! When this eye first opened in the sky, the entire world was plunged into everlasting darkness.

They still had the confidence to fight against Destructive Level terrors, but facing the supreme Heavenly Dao Level Terror ’Dark Eye,’ they only felt powerless.

The more they knew, the more they understood the vast gap.

"The Heavenly Dao has changed, the Heavenly Dao has become the Dark Eye!" As the powerful cultivators comprehended the Heavenly Dao, they discovered the Heavenly Dao had changed, and even the ultimate direction of their own cultivation could only lead to this Dark Eye.

Thankfully, in the past long years, the Dark Eye indeed acted like the Heavenly Dao, treating everything equally.

"Hum."

The Dark Eye emitted a beam of red light, which enveloped a city like a pillar from heaven. The city was instantly revitalized, its energy surged dramatically, transforming into a majestic twisted creature that knelt in salutation.

"’Illusion City’ has evolved, has it evolved into a Destructive Level Terror?" In the rear base, countless creatures who sensed this scene despaired.

They had just managed to kill one Destructive Level Terror, and now another one had appeared?

"Seven Destructive Level Terrors... It is decreed." Inside the base, a powerful cultivator sensed the operation of the Heavenly Dao and murmured, "The Dark Eye is the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao decrees there will forever be seven Destructive Level Terrors, eliminating one will only lead to another taking its place. No matter how we struggle, it’s futile."

"Decreed, huh?"

The many creatures that fought for this were in despair.

Suddenly—

The Dark Eye in the high sky emitted a mournful howl.

"No!!!"

This mournful howl of the Heavenly Dao Level Terror resounded in the hearts of every creature in the world, and they all felt the Dark Eye’s fear, reluctance! Afterward, the Dark Eye in the high sky silently vanished without a trace.

And the sky, as if a massive dark curtain was removed, showed its true form.

Warm sunlight... After a long stretch of ages, it shone on this land once again, and brightness was restored between heaven and earth.

"This, what is this?" Accustomed to the light condensed by formations, many creatures were touching real sunlight for the first time in their lives, they were fascinated by the legendary light.

Light, spread throughout the entire world.

"The Heavenly Dao Level Terror ’Dark Eye’ has disappeared, the Heavenly Dao has returned to normal," said a powerful cultivator comprehending the Heavenly Dao, excitedly.

"Although the seven Destructive Level Terrors are still there, under the sunlight, their territories have significantly shrunk."

"Haha, the world has changed, it has changed."

...

Treasure Land ’Infinite Space’.

"Hmm, using the Ultimate Realm God King will’s Secret Technique, I can finally eliminate the most ordinary Spiritual Beings." Luo Feng was quite satisfied, watching the blood-red one-eyed monster before him completely vanish.

Spiritual Beings, once their spirits are destroyed, are completely gone.

Luo Feng in this Spiritual Being had also reached a total of 10 Reward Points! If it were a mere severe defeat in multiple instances, the accumulated Reward Points would generally just pass 5 points.

"These Spiritual Beings in Infinite Space, relying solely on spiritual power, can reach the Godly King level! I wonder from where Yuan obtained these Spiritual Beings when he established this treasure land," Luo Feng privately marveled.

Spiritual Beings, there are none in the Land of Origin.

"According to intelligence, those with the will of the Ultimate Realm God King are hoped to completely kill them," thought Luo Feng, "It seems, those strong ones... must have obtained quite powerful Secret Techniques of Willpower."

In the Infinite Space Treasure Vault alone, there are inheritances containing Secret Techniques of Willpower, these inheritances might not compare to the Lie Yuan Technique, but the gap is obviously narrowing.

"As my strength increases, the layers I come into contact with are getting higher."

"I might even encounter Secret Techniques of Willpower that are comparable to the Lie Yuan Technique," Luo Feng mused privately.

Look at those inheritances in the Infinite Space Treasure Vault, such as the Special Grade Inheritance "World Life Form," which was created by Yuan’s good friend! What about those Perfection Level inheritances? If this level of inheritance specializes in ’will,’ how strong must it be?

"Lie Yuan Technique, after all, is only one of many opportunities Yuan left in the Land of Origin," Luo Feng also reminded himself not to be arrogant.

For example, Emperor Ming, Emperor Ming bestowed upon him the Calamity Beast Diagram, which concealed a method of will cultivation that Emperor Ming created himself.

Luo Feng felt it was not inferior to the "Great Destruction Heart Refining Technique" within the Lie Yuan Technique, and of course, the power of the Great Destruction Heart Refining Technique also depended on the realm of Luo Feng’s Great Dao of Destruction Origin.

"I have three Spiritual Beings in Infinite Space, the two weaker ones have died, leaving only one strong one," Luo Feng thought, "I should go find new Spiritual Beings."

Luo Feng left an avatar, guarding that one strong Spiritual Being. This strong Spiritual Being, Luo Feng could not eliminate, it probably required a prolonged confrontation.

Luo Feng sent nine avatars flying in all directions, heading to various remote areas to explore and search for new prey.

******

"Luo He, leave quickly," came the command.

"This is our territory."

Invisible waves of thought emitted one warning after another.

In the Infinite Space, areas rich in prey had long been occupied by ancient beings. Although they recognized him as Great Saint Luo He, they had never paid him any mind.

"Even Luo He, the top figure of the Primal Chaos Realm, has no influence here," Luo Feng laughed self-deprecatingly as he flew.

In the real world, Luo Feng held a very high status and many powerful beings respected him.

But in the Infinite Space, a coveted sanctuary left behind by Yuan, the threshold to enter was exceedingly high!

Aside from the monarchs of the two great Imperial Clans, those who could come here were usually sovereigns of the Land of Origin! For instance, even a Godly King of the First Realm like Wuxiang Ancestor found it extremely difficult to secure a place here.

And for those even weaker?

Only the two great Imperial Clans would allow ordinary Godly Kings and transcended beings of the Primal Chaos Realm to enter! As royalty, they gathered together, a formidable faction in the Infinite Space.

"Nineteen Great Daos of Origin are sealed in the Infinite Space, so using Godly King Level techniques here requires forging a new Great Dao," thought Luo Feng.

Here, even Emperors and Monarchs, if they haven’t forged a new Great Dao, might be weaker and can only rely on Spiritual Will to confront enemies.

This was also the reason Wuxiang Ancestor was so confident in facing Luo Feng.

In the Infinite Space, being able to deploy a Godly King Level secret technique already made one a master.

To forge a complete branch of a Great Dao? That counted as an ultimate master.

To reach the Second Realm of Godly King by forging a Great Dao? Unheard of! At least, Emperor Chu’s intelligence given to Luo Feng had no such records.

"Luo He?"

Suddenly, a thought touched Luo Feng.

Luo Feng looked up and saw a figure in a loose white robe in the distance.

"Di Wu, the Godly King," Luo Feng recognized him. This was a Godly King from Emperor Chu’s Di Wu lineage, considered a very strong existence even among those in the First Realm of Godly King.

"I didn’t expect to see Great Saint Luo He here," Di Wu, the Godly King, smiled as he looked at Luo Feng. "Logically speaking, my Flame Wind Ancient Country wouldn’t possibly give you a spot. Where did you get your quota from?"

"It’s not from Flame Wind Ancient Country," Luo Feng said.

"I know. What I’m asking is... where did your quota come from?" Di Wu pressed, "Or did Emperor Chu deliberately bend the rules to privately get a token and pass it to you?"

"Are you defaming my master?" Luo Feng’s expression darkened.

"Who doesn’t know how Emperor Chu operates?" Di Wu sneered coldly.

"Hmph." Luo Feng no longer held any goodwill.

How could Luo Feng maintain a polite façade when his master was targeted in such a way?

However, the feud between Di Wu’s lineage and Emperor Chu’s lineage was notoriously bad, with frequent conflicts accumulating countless grievances over the long years.

"Young brother Wu Xiu." A figure flew over from afar, a man in grey robes with white hair, who glanced at Luo Feng, "So it’s Luo He."

"Luo He, hurry up and leave, this is the territorial domain of the Flame Wind Ancient Country’s Imperial Clan, not a place for you," the white-haired man scolded.

"Yan Qiong, the Godly King." Luo Feng recognized him, said no more, and turned to fly away.

Yan Qiong, a Second Realm Godly King! In the Flame Wind Ancient Country’s Imperial Clan, he was among the core members. Naturally, he had the audacity not to care even if he were facing the lord of the Wanjie Kingdom, or the Sector Beast of Tianmu Kingdom.

"No wonder my master advised me, unless personally invited by the Primogenitor Yan Feng, there’s no need to join the Flame Wind Ancient Country." Luo Feng sighed inwardly. "Those who treat newcomers kindly are indeed few."

As the Imperial Clan’s Godly Kings clustered together, monopolizing the vast majority of resources and giving but a small portion to the hardworking Guest Elder Godly Kings, Luo Feng could understand.

Yet this sense of discrimination and exclusion was indeed quite unpleasant for Luo Feng.

And this was without fully joining!

If he fully joined, the restrictions would increase greatly. He would have to be at the beck and call of these Imperial Clan Godly Kings, becoming their lackey.

"This Luo He, no need to pay too much attention to him," said the white-haired man ’Yan Qiong, the Godly King,’ glancing at Luo Feng in the distance, "Even if he becomes a Godly King, he’s merely invincible within the First Realm of Godly King. He can’t impact our Imperial Clan in the slightest."

"I’m suspicious about his quota," Di Wu, the Godly King, said, "He, a mere transcendent of the Primal Chaos Realm, can’t possibly have fifty million Merit Points. So how did he get the quota? I suspect it was gotten by Emperor Chu clandestinely and given to Luo He."

"Oh?"

The expression of Yan Qiong, the Godly King, changed subtly, "It’s quite possible. Emperor Chu does indeed act recklessly. As a member of the Imperial Clan, not wholeheartedly considering the clan, he frequently helps those outside the clan!"

"I will consult with the Emperor and investigate this matter," Yan Qiong’s eyes flashed coldly, "We must clarify how he obtained his quota! If it was indeed given privately by Emperor Chu, he cannot be let off lightly."

The eyes of Yan Qiong, the Godly King, bore a cold hardness.

He had become a Godly King much earlier than Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu and Emperor Yan Qiong had also clashed many times, with Emperor Yan Qiong, a being next only to Emperor Yan in the ’Emperor Yan lineage,’ always eager for battle.

Discovering any fault in Emperor Chu, Yan Qiong, the Godly King, would certainly pursue it relentlessly.

"If we confirm this matter..." Wu Xiu, the Godly King, looked forward eagerly.

"It’s a rule set by the Ancestor, if Emperor Chu makes a mistake, he must be punished. As for Luo He? First, he must be expelled from the Infinite Space, depriving him of this opportunity, and moreover, he must be severely punished," said Yan Qiong, the Godly King. "It’s a joke that a mere Guest Official of the Primal Chaos Realm could enter."
