Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 73: The First Chaos Realm Technique

With a height of over a trillion kilometers and strength a hundred times more refined, the energy required was naturally immense. It was normal for the body to take nearly an era to grow to its limit. This was also the result of Morosa’s complete breakthrough, greatly enhancing his efficiency in absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.

Luo Feng would be the same in the future. Even if he comprehended the laws of chaos, it would take a long time for his divine body to grow to its limit.

“Take it slow, no rush,” Luo Feng said.

The advantages of a Perfect Life Form were indeed significant. This was just a Chaos Realm Boundary Beast. What if it were at the Divine King level? How terrifying would that be? One breath could turn Huyang City into ashes!

No wonder peak Boundary Beasts held such strong deterrent power on the Origin Continent, making Tianmu Kingdom a first-rate nation.

Because they feared peak Boundary Beasts, all forces on the Origin Continent would hunt down any weak Boundary Beasts, giving them no chance to grow.

“Even if you reach the Chaos Realm, you must not reveal any Boundary Beast techniques outside of Star Tower,” Luo Feng reminded.

“Rest assured, Master, I understand!” Morosa nodded. The more he understood, the more he realized how deep the waters were on the Origin Continent.

His current goal was the Boundary Beast in Tianmu Kingdom.

Fortunately, his master was also a Perfect Life Form. In the future, teaming up with him would undoubtedly be stronger than the combination of the ‘Purple Wood Divine King and Boundary Beast’ from Tianmu Kingdom.

“Master, before Blood Cloud died, his bloodline had completely transformed,” Morosa explained. “By absorbing his divine body, I have also gained a deeper understanding of the power of the origin of destruction. Shall I demonstrate it to you now?”

“Good!” Luo Feng nodded. “Show me.”

Whether it was the Destruction Heart Technique or the Life-Death Combination, Luo Feng valued the origin of destruction.

With a single thought, vast and mysterious destruction origin power appeared in front of Morosa.

After having seen the full picture of the ‘Origin Path of Life,’ Luo Feng could now watch Morosa’s display calmly.

After all, in terms of power and level, what Morosa displayed was far weaker.

“Mm?” Luo Feng watched, becoming immersed in it.

The mysteries of the destruction origin path that Morosa displayed were relatively few, but they included the complete Chaos Laws and some shallow mysteries of the destruction origin.

These shallow mysteries were all naturally comprehended by Morosa after reaching the Chaos Realm, far surpassing Luo Feng’s current level.

Although the ‘Origin Path of Life’ was very complete, Luo Feng’s level was too low. He needed to carefully select and absorb some insights, fearing pollution that might distort his own cultivation path.

There was no need to filter; he just needed to comprehend without worrying about distorted understanding!

“Morosa, your progress is significant! The mysteries of the destruction origin you now display are much stronger than before!” Luo Feng praised as he comprehended.

“I am already in the Chaos Realm. Naturally, my understanding of the destruction origin is deeper,” Morosa said, displaying his understanding of the destruction origin to the fullest. He also hoped his master would grow quickly.

After a day of comprehension, Luo Feng stood up. “Morosa, continue your cultivation.”

“Only a day? Not watching more?” Morosa thought a day was too short. It was normal to comprehend for dozens of days or even longer in the past.

“No need for now!” Luo Feng had already returned to his level in Star Tower.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged. He had only watched the destruction origin for a day but stopped because a spark of insight had emerged in his mind.

“Destruction origin, life origin.” Luo Feng had watched the Origin Path of Life many times. Now, after watching much of the destruction origin, insights from both paths naturally began to merge.

Day after day passed.

The insights continued to fuse, and the spark of light in Luo Feng’s mind grew clearer.

The world of cultivation was full of infinite possibilities and endless temptations.

An encounter might attract a cultivator to another path.

It was also possible to be stuck at a bottleneck, unable to break through for life.

The cultivation path was about moving forward in the fog.

If you took a wrong turn, you wouldn’t even know.

“I understand now!”

Luo Feng saw a vague path appear in the fog of his cultivation.

The Origin Path of Life and the Origin Path of Destruction were fundamentally different paths.

But Luo Feng grasped a link between them, forming a vague path.

This path was destined to be challenging. After all, merging two major origin paths was extremely difficult.

“Life and destruction should be one.”

Luo Feng spoke softly.

The words he spoke quietly in Star Tower carried an incomparably firm determination. He believed this from the depths of his heart.

“Without life, everything is dead. What is the point of destruction?”

“The concept of destruction only has meaning because of the concept of life.”

“As a living being, the stronger I am, the more powerful my destruction force is. They complement each other.”

At this moment, Luo Feng felt that the pure Origin Path of Life was too fragile. Without sufficient deterrent power, how could he protect life?

The pure Origin Path of Destruction was too extreme.

Focusing solely on destruction, like the Boundary Beasts, naturally led to being hunted by all sides.

Like the Boundary Beast in Tianmu Kingdom, having a master prevented it from being ‘solely destructive,’ allowing it to be tolerated by various forces on the Origin Continent.

“Pure destruction is undesirable. Even if I follow the path of destruction, it is for the sake of the lives I care about and want to protect.”

“Destruction is for life.”

“At least, that is how it is for me!”

Luo Feng felt that the paths of life and destruction could perfectly merge. He directly faced a vast amount of insights from the ‘Origin Path of Life’ and the many insights displayed by Morosa from the destruction origin, which naturally led to new insights emerging in his heart.

Luo Feng felt immense joy.

An ancient saying from his hometown Earth goes: “To hear the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening without regret.”

Seeing his own ‘Dao,’ the joy permeated his entire soul.

That was the path he had set his sights on, a path he liked from his heart.

“The path I will walk combines the Origin Paths of Life and Destruction. It can be called the ‘Path of Life and Death.’ I hope that one day it will be worthy of being called the ‘Great Path of Life and Death.’”

Luo Feng thought.

The numerous insights in his heart naturally led Luo Feng to extend his hand. With a light stroke of his finger, visible space scars appeared in the space of Star Tower.

This stroke was like a butcher carving an ox, a knife dissecting the void!

It was also like a brush painting in the heavens and earth, the brush marks etched into the void.

It contained unparalleled sharpness.

Even without burning his divine body, a mere stroke of his finger was enough to match the full power of a single strike against Blood Cloud when he burned his divine power.

It also contained Luo Feng’s spiritual will. What he cared most about on his cultivation path were those he needed to protect: his family, his race.

Since coming to the Origin Continent, he had been cautious because if he died, without him, countless humans in his small universe would not survive.

Without him, what would happen to his family in the future?

What would be the fate of the human race?

Yuanzu had talent, but coming to the Origin Continent, he had yet to become the Eternal True God, showing that compared to himself, there was still a significant gap.

To protect his family and the human race, the best way was to rely on himself.

“This is my path!”

Luo Feng looked at the marks in mid-air.

Luo Feng was delighted. He had found his path.

Many cultivators, as their strength increased, would generally choose one origin path to focus on.

But Luo Feng, before reaching the Chaos Realm, had already chosen from the bottom of his heart to walk a path that combined two origin paths. He believed that pure destruction origin and pure life origin did not align with his heart.

“This move, in terms of realm, can be considered a Chaos Realm move. This is also the first Chaos Realm move I have comprehended!”

Luo Feng casually made another light stroke, and the stable space of Star Tower again showed space scars.

“I’ll call this move ‘Heart Refinement.’ The cultivation path is tough. I hope that after enduring countless trials and tribulations, I can still remain true to my original intention!”

Luo Feng was also encouraging himself.

Because he had seen many strong individuals who, with cultivation, had even changed themselves.

There were many like this in his hometown, the Primal Universe, and also many on the Origin Continent, such as Blood Cloud, who once had a beloved companion but eventually sacrificed everything just to become stronger.

“Cultivation is also about cultivating the heart!”

Luo Feng sat cross-legged again and began to focus on cultivation.

The numerous insights of the Origin Path of Life and the Origin Path of Destruction were still gradually merging. Luo Feng knew very well that he was still very weak and needed to advance step by step with devotion.

In terms of realm, having comprehended only one Chaos Realm move, he was still inferior to Blood Cloud back then.

A tower of nine layers begins with a heap of earth.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

…

At the City Lord’s Mansion in Huyang City, an armored woman with hundreds of braids led a group of guards there, and the leaders of the five great families of the City Lord’s Mansion respectfully greeted her.

“Your Highness!” The five leaders respectfully looked at the armored woman.

The armored woman stood there, with indistinct waves of water around her, exuding an invisible and terrifying aura.

She was ‘Yu Shui Tianyu,’ one of the thirty-five children of the Lord of Yuguo.

Among the Lord of Yuguo’s children, she was quite outstanding.

The armored woman laughed heartily, her laughter bright and cheerful. “I heard from Father that an extraordinary Eternal True God named Luo He has emerged in Huyang City, with strength surpassing that of Yong Hu?”

The City Lord of Huyang City respectfully said, “The strength of Divine Lord Luo He is unmatched among the Eternal True Gods of Yuguo. There are very few who can compare, and those stronger than him are likely nonexistent.”

“Then I’ve come to the right place!” The armored woman nodded in satisfaction. “No wonder Father went to great lengths to arrange a fortune for him. He might even become my senior brother!”

“The Lord intends to take him as a disciple?” asked Wu Qulou, the leader of the Wu Clan of the royal family.

“It’s not that easy. Even with high talent, one must go through trials to have the hope of becoming Father’s disciple,” the armored woman said. “Alright, quickly arrange for me to meet this Divine Lord Luo He.”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

The leaders of the five great families respectfully complied.
