Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 42: Own Weakness

Luo Feng’s Wings of Slaughter spread behind him as he stepped on the surging Blood River. He saw this scene and initially planned to use the Lieu Yuan Technique. However, upon seeing Morosa’s gaping maw, Luo Feng halted.

“Without the Lieu Yuan Technique, I am indeed much weaker than Morosa,” Luo Feng admitted upon witnessing the sight.

“I have the Perfect Divine Body, and so does he! However, his realm is much higher than mine. This seemingly simple swallow actually approaches the Chaos Realm. Even the assassin couldn’t escape under such a sneak attack.”

Luo Feng was well aware of the assassin’s strength.

Under the suppression of Chaos Control, Luo Feng’s hands and wings, using the blade technique, couldn’t touch the assassin.

Yet, Morosa’s single gulp had trapped the assassin.

“Moreover, Morosa’s Perfect Divine Body is more resilient! The assassin’s sword could pierce my divine body, but in Morosa’s mouth… his mouth was unscathed.”

From this single swallow, Luo Feng discerned a lot.

Morosa, who embodied the Destruction Origin, could grow merely by devouring, deepening his comprehension of the Destruction Origin Dao until he fully mastered it. Despite Luo Feng’s talent, he felt the gap between them.

“As a Boundary Beast, he is innately endowed with the Destruction Origin, making his life essence equivalent to the Primal Universe. I am weaker in comparison and must comprehend and cultivate step by step.”

“Of course, I am his master.”

Luo Feng smiled.

Morosa took just two steps to reach Luo Feng. Seeing his master’s smile made him nervous, and he quickly said, “Master, I did not disobey your orders. I only used normal moves.”

“I’m not blaming you,” Luo Feng smiled.

When he first arrived at the Origin Continent, Luo Feng had strictly ordered that even in death, Morosa must not expose his identity as a Boundary Beast. If exposed, it would attract the attention of truly terrifying beings on the Origin Continent, leading to their doom.

Morosa’s power was normal divine power, and his moves were also standard. Luo Feng naturally wouldn’t blame him.

“Is the assassin dead?” Luo Feng asked.

“Once I swallowed him, he died,” Morosa nodded.

Both having Perfect Divine Bodies, Morosa’s utilization was more refined, and his explosive power was more terrifying.

“He carried a Causal Transmission Order. Did he transmit any information about my strength before dying?” Morosa suddenly worried.

“Saying you’re an extremely strong Eternal True God?” Luo Feng shook his head, “Don’t worry, it’s no big deal if exposed.”

Extremely powerful Eternal True Gods were not uncommon. Every large city had a few, and the number on the entire Origin Continent was vast. Even if the world knew that both master and servant were extremely powerful Eternal True Gods, it would be a trivial matter.

“I acted very quickly. At that time, he was solely focused on surviving and was struggling with all his might. He died the moment I swallowed him, so he shouldn’t have had time to transmit any message,” Morosa said. “These are all his belongings, including the Cosmos Sand.”

With a wave of Morosa’s hand, a pile of items appeared beside him, including the previously seen sword.

This time, unable to resist the urge, Morosa had acted and worried about his master’s blame, so he dared not keep any spoils.

“Stay by my side, and if you need anything, tell me,” Luo Feng accepted all the treasures without hesitation. After all, Morosa would naturally grow stronger, while Luo Feng himself needed the resources the most.

Only by becoming strong enough himself could Luo Feng protect this Boundary Beast on the Origin Continent.

“I will now go into seclusion to digest,” Morosa said.

“Alright.” Luo Feng summoned Morosa into the Star Tower.

Inside the first layer of the Star Tower.

Morosa looked at the corpses of the two Eternal True Gods, Commander Qian Yuchong and Mei Wuqi, lying in front of him and smiled: “The master is also very considerate of me, preserving the corpses after killing these Eternal True Gods.”

Given Luo Feng’s battle prowess, if he hadn’t deliberately preserved them, these corpses would have long turned to dust.

…

Luo Feng maintained the small universe domain, enveloping the entire cave mansion. Seeing some damage to the cave mansion, he changed the scene within the small universe domain. Stones and earth gathered, beginning to repair the cave mansion.

“Qingyan, you can come out now,” Luo Feng called.

As a True God, Moyu Qingyan had been hiding in a small building, trembling in fear. A slight misstep in such a confrontation could cost him his life.

Thus, Luo Feng had deliberately protected Moyu Qingyan when he deployed the small universe domain. Naturally, Moyu Qingyan hadn’t seen the latter part of the battle.

Under the cover of the small universe domain, Luo Feng didn’t want him to see, so he couldn’t.

“Master.” Moyu Qingyan emerged from the building, looking around and asking, “Master, where is Divine Lord Luo Sa?”

During this time, although the master hadn’t guided him, Divine Lord Luo Sa often did, making Moyu Qingyan grateful to Morosa. Not seeing Morosa now, Moyu Qingyan worried if Divine Lord Luo Sa had been affected and killed.

“Don’t worry, he’s in seclusion,” Luo Feng said. “The battle is over. Don’t overthink it. Focus on your cultivation.”

After speaking, Luo Feng flew towards the pavilion at the mountain’s peak.

“Yes, master.” Moyu Qingyan respectfully obeyed, though he was indeed unsettled. The experiences of this period had been too harrowing.

******

Yan Feng Pavilion.

The Gray Mist Figure and Yan Feng Pavilion Master sat facing each other. They had guessed that Luo Feng’s emergence this time meant Ying Cang would likely act.

“There’s a result,” the Gray Mist Figure looked at the message before him. “Ying Cang is dead. He was notorious for his strong survival ability, yet this time, in his attack on Divine Lord Luo He, he not only failed but also lost his life.”

“Uncle, are you sure Ying Cang is dead?” Yan Feng Pavilion Master was shocked.

Even with his Infinite Divine Body, he couldn’t confidently claim to completely kill Ying Cang.

Defeating was easy; killing was difficult.

“His causality has completely dissipated. Using the Causal Transmission Order, we can lock onto his location. He died in Divine Lord Luo He’s cave mansion,” the Gray Mist Figure said.

This was why Luo Feng never used the Causal Transmission Order. Some powerful forces could use it to lock onto locations.

Without using the Causal Transmission Order, those powerful forces could only deduce vague causalities, determining whether they existed or not, but could not lock onto a location.

“His causality dissipated, and he died in Luo He’s cave mansion.” Yan Feng Pavilion Master nodded. “Divine Lord Luo He is unfathomable!”

Even as a disciple of the Emperor Chu lineage of the Ancient Flame Kingdom, possessing the Infinite Divine Body, with an immensely profound Eternal True God accumulation, and cultivating the top inheritance of the Origin Continent, he also felt a bit apprehensive towards Luo Feng.

“This Divine Lord Luo He, either his realm is very high, or he has extremely powerful killing moves,” the Gray Mist Figure speculated.

…

Luo Feng sat in the pavilion at the mountain peak, drinking alone.

Drinking while reflecting on the recent confrontation.

“The strength of the assassin and Morosa both proved one thing… my weakness in realm,” Luo Feng pondered.

Divine body, willpower, realm—the three major aspects.

His divine body was the Perfect Divine Body, unquestionably powerful, his absolute strength. Therefore, he was willing to spend vast resources on body refinement to enhance this advantage.

Willpower, at the peak of Chaos Overlord! Luo Feng had never slacked off! Most of his time was spent cultivating the heart tempering techniques in the Lieu Yuan Technique.

Realm, relatively weak. Realm was the most crucial among the three aspects. To step into the Chaos Overlord realm and the Divine King level, one must have a sufficiently high realm.

“After dealing with recent trivial matters, I need to focus on comprehending the Chaos Laws,” Luo Feng thought. “However, the Five Great Families might not easily let it go.”

“Hmm?”

Having just experienced a fierce battle, Luo Feng was vigilant. Sensing a presence outside the cave mansion, he looked carefully and saw Magili Meng retracting his flying boat and landing at the entrance.

“Divine Lord Luo He, I’m at the front gate of your cave mansion,” Magili Meng respectfully transmitted.

The main gate opened, and the formation revealed a passage.

Magili Meng flew in, noticing the altered landscape inside the cave mansion, with some old structures gone and new ones in their place.

Whoosh.

Magili Meng flew to the mountain peak, seeing Luo Feng drinking there.

“Divine Lord Luo He,” Magili Meng greeted with a smile.

“Just finished a battle, so I made some repairs to the cave mansion,” Luo Feng said from the mountain peak, looking puzzled at Magili Meng. “I recently offended your Five Great Families at the Dream Flower Pavilion and was immediately attacked upon returning. Was the assassin sent by your Five Great Families?”

Luo Feng still didn’t know why the assassin came or who he was.

“No, it wasn’t our Five Great Families,” Magili Meng hurriedly said. “The City Lord’s Mansion detected extremely strong energy fluctuations in your cave mansion

, stronger than when you killed the Blood Python President. The Five Great Families also worried about misunderstandings, so I came to explain.”

“Explain?” Luo Feng continued drinking, leaving Magili Meng standing there. “Then explain how the assassin came so quickly and was so powerful. If it wasn’t sent by you, then who sent it?”

Magili Meng said, “We Five Great Families know your strength well. In a short time, there’s no one in Huyang City who would dare to confront you.”

Luo Feng listened.

“In my opinion, it might be an enemy from your past, or perhaps a strong outsider drawn by the message sent by the Blood Python President before he died,” Magili Meng said. “In any case, there shouldn’t be anyone in Huyang City who would act.”

Luo Feng looked at him: “Is that all your explanation?”

Magili Meng smiled: “I believe Divine Lord Luo He has his own judgment.”

“If there’s nothing else, you can leave now,” Luo Feng urged, showing no courtesy.

The indulgence of Mei Wuqi in massacring billions of civilians made Luo Feng very displeased with the Five Great Families.

“Divine Lord Luo He, our Magili Clan has no intention of being your enemy,” Magili Meng shook his head. “My father, Magili Xiao, ordered long ago not to be your enemy.”

Luo Feng listened.

“But the other families are used to being high and mighty!” Magili Meng shook his head. “You publicly killed one of their members, and they can’t tolerate it. I have a suggestion. How about you condescend to become the deputy commander of the Huyang Legion? That way, you would be part of the Huyang City high echelon and one of our Five Great Families…”

“You can get out!” Luo Feng’s voice turned cold.

Magili Meng was stunned, then could only bow: “Divine Lord Luo He should understand that some of the Five Great Families purely indulge in pleasure, while others are here to do business. Our Magili Clan is one that works hard. We do not wish to be your enemy, but if you don’t take a step back, I can tell you that they won’t let it go. I know their temperament very well.”

Luo Feng smiled slightly, a cold smile.

Seeing this smile, Magili Meng felt an inexplicable chill, vaguely seeing a river of blood.

“I will try to mediate this matter. If there are any special circumstances, I will inform you,” Magili Meng said, then turned and left alone.
