Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

"Don't think that just because you are the disciple of an emperor, you can escape punishment," Yan Su, having transcended the Primal Chaos Realm for countless long years, had a deeper understanding of the thirteen emperors of the Flame Wind Ancient Country.

The thirteen emperors of the Ancient Country faced few external threats, which instead led to incredibly intense internal conflicts. Aside from Emperor Qing, who was somewhat detached, the conflicts among the other twelve emperors were extremely fierce. Had it not been for the suppression by the Primogenitor Yan Feng, they would have probably initiated a deadly battle long ago.

Given such conflicts, it was difficult for Luo Feng, even as the direct disciple of Emperor Chu, to avoid harsh punishment.

"I never said I wanted to escape punishment," Luo Feng laughed heartily, "Yan Su, no need to delay, die first."

The Endless Black River surged mightily towards Yan Su.

"Luo He!"

With a fierce expression, Yan Su was suddenly surrounded by two colorful divine spikes. As soon as these spikes appeared, a Void Array Map materialized beneath Yan Su's feet, with the two spikes forming the core of the map.

"Kill." With the Array Map, the two divine spikes unleashed a terrifying destructive force, forcefully annihilating the rolling black river in front of them.

"Interesting," Luo Feng, towering in the distance, watched the scene unfold. "With that pair of Godly King Weapons, his strength has at least doubled. Sadly, he is still inferior to the Great Saint Bi Yun."

The Endless Black River continuously flooded over, making Yan Su struggle desperately and feel despair.

"The strength difference is too great." Although he had already anticipated this outcome, Yan Su was still very anguished. He was adept at using the Void against enemies, but Luo Feng's Black River World exerted stronger internal control, completely suppressing some of his domain techniques.

A direct confrontation? The gap was even wider.

"It's over." Yan Su, controlling a pair of Void Divine Spikes, struggled for only a few moments before being completely annihilated by the relentless crushing of the Endless Black River.

This complete avatar of his lasted only a few moments, and in the city, he had two other weaker avatars. Those two weaker avatars were obliterated in an instant, utterly powerless to resist.

...

Xiangjie City, although a border city, was ultimately overseen by a transcendent of the Primal Chaos Realm. Hence, it remained very safe. Over the long years, it had also attracted a large number of cultivators. Even the trade between the two ancient countries was mostly conducted here, making trade quite prosperous.

"Is that General Yan Su?"

"The other one, should be Great Saint Luo He?"

Inside Xiangjie City, there were also thousands of eternal true gods. When they sensed the sky darkening momentarily and the Endless Black River engulfing every part of the city, they knew something major had occurred.

When they looked up and saw Luo Feng's towering figure and spotted General Yan Su confronting him high in the sky—although they couldn't hear their conversation—most recognized some of the famous figures of the Land of Origin, including the identity of Great Saint Luo He.

"Something big has happened."

"A monumental event!"

These eternal true gods were panic-stricken. In the previous long years, General Yan Su had been the sky of the entire city! He was the most terrifying entity within Xiangjie City, and his will was the city's will.

But now, the 'sky' of Xiangjie City had met an even more terrifying being.

"General Yan Su has transcended the Primal Chaos Realm, almost comparable to a newly advanced Godly King. Yet, he couldn't overcome Great Saint Luo He even with the aid of an array?"

"They clashed, and the disturbance from their battle didn't have any repercussions?"

"The disturbances, all blocked by this black water!"

Those with some savvy could sense the horror of this black water.

In the blink of an eye, it covered every part of the city, rapidly eroding and submerging General Yan Su.

"It's over, this battle is over." These eternal true gods, some being city military personnel, some members of trade forces from the two Ancient Countries, and some with notable backgrounds, now only felt sheer terror.

Two terrifying beings were clashing. If they hadn't controlled the aftermath well, all the cultivators in the city would have perished!

Once the fight ended, all they felt was relief.

******

Far away from Xiangjie City, in the high skies, a figure crossed through the void, which was one of Yan Su's ordinary avatars.

This ordinary avatar of Yan Su, gazing towards Xiangjie City from a distance, also saw the Black River World covering the entire city, leaving no flaws.

"There's just no comparing, the gap is too vast. This Luo He's strength... is undoubtedly the top in the Primal Chaos Realm. Even compared to the First Realm of Godly King, he should be considered at a very strong level within it," Yan Su sighed inwardly.

A feeling of powerlessness filled his heart.

The gap was too large, to the point where he couldn't even muster the will to fight.

This was also the reason he saw Luo Feng and immediately wanted to offer an apology to resolve their enmity. But Luo Feng's demand for that pair of Void Divine Spikes made it difficult for Yan Su to accept.

"My most precious treasures are this pair of Godly King Weapons, to have them taken from me," Yan Su was profoundly anguished. Besides these, he had no other valuable treasures.

These Godly King Weapons were to him what the Star Tower and Bloodshadow Knife were to Luo Feng.

It hurt to lose them.

"Well then, well then, having lost the Godly King Weapons, I'm without a weakness now," Yan Su's eyes grew cold. "This clash with Luo He has also proven one thing—having strong defensive capabilities is not enough! Offensive power must also be strong!"

"This Luo He, already so powerful just at the Transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm. Once he becomes a Godly King, improving in all aspects... he will likely become a dominant ruler of the Land of Origin in a short time," Yan Su thought.

He had lived for endless years, his strength was substantial, and he was very familiar with the order of the Land of Origin, which was determined by that group of ancient rulers.

Who could be called a ruler?

Extreme survivability, almost impossible to kill on the Land of Origin. Offensive power equally terrifying.

Like the Ancestral God of the Snow Realm, even he couldn't be considered a ruler of the Land of Origin! It was because his offensive power was still too weak. If he had successfully cultivated the Primordial Bloodline, his offensive power could compare to a Second Realm Godly King. Only then could he be called a ruler, and then, the Palace of Two Realms would be willing to invite him to join.

As for now? In the eyes of the true rulers, although the Ancestral God of the Snow Realm couldn't be killed, he posed no threat to them, merely an annoyance.

"Quite a few Godly Kings in the First Realm have, over the lengthy river of time, either died or been forced to reincarnate."

"But this Luo He, his foundations are too deep."

Yan Su was very aware of this, and many forces in the Land of Origin knew this as well, as did Luo Feng himself and that being in the Palace of Two Realms. As frustrating as it was, there was nothing they could do.

It was foreseeable that Luo He would become a Godly King.

It was foreseeable that once Luo He became a Godly King, he would quickly become a dominant ruler over the Land of Origin! His power would surge significantly more than it had until now.

But who could stop his growth!

"Luo He, you attack the border towns, especially those suppressing the world's entrance, you must pay a hefty price! You have transcended the Primal Chaos Realm too briefly, you hardly understand the madness of the battles among the emperors, once it involves you, hmm..." Yan Su looked on from afar.

"Boom~~~" Suddenly, in the direction of Xiangjie City, the ground shook violently.

"It has begun," Yan Su was not at all surprised, "Without me controlling the Sealing Array, the creatures with Primordial Bloodline inside that world will definitely try to break out. If they really break out, your crimes would increase tenfold or a hundredfold!"

Boom boom boom~~~

At this moment, the ground in the distance was shaking, and Yan Su watched expectantly, hoping that some creatures with Primordial Bloodlines would break out.

That would be very exciting!

******

Xiangjie City.

After Luo Feng annihilated Yan Su's complete avatar and two weaker ones, he also collected the spoils of war.

"A pair of Void God Cones, Yan Su must be incredibly upset." Luo Feng considered himself quite merciful, he did not provoke him, yet he deliberately targeted him. Merely taking his treasures was a minor punishment.

If Yan Su did not realize and continued to harass and retaliate relying on his Clone Technique, once Luo Feng himself became a Godly King and his Spiritual Will was strong enough, he would not mind using the Lie Yuan Technique to completely dispatch him.

Of course, if Yan Su stopped, Luo Feng would also not spend any more effort on him.

"The most crucial now is the world entrance."

At a thought from Luo Feng, the vast Dark World rapidly shrunk to just a few billion kilometers in scope, encasing the world's entrance within a secret grand hall deep underground of the 'Garrison Mansion' at the core of the whole town.

This world entrance, originally sealed by a formation, Yan Su was tasked with controlling it. But having lost its controller, the array's power weakened, and the creatures with Primordial Bloodlines inside immediately sensed it.

"I don't know how to control this formation either."

Deciphering a formation is no easy task.

Yan Su was also appointed as a Guardian General, and the Flame Wind Ancient Country had given him an Array Talisman, entrusting him with the method to control it.

"Buzz." The thick Dark World membranous wall sealed the entire world's entrance.

Moreover, a mighty Black River roared and enveloped the surroundings of the world entrance.

Luo Feng was also standing above the Black River.

"Thud." "Thud." "Thud." Having lost its formation controller and its power greatly reduced, some creatures with Primordial Bloodlines were forcefully bearing the suppression of the formation, attacking the Dark World membranous wall at the entrance.

Suddenly, a claw instantly penetrated the Dark World membranous wall.

Outside the Dark World membranous wall, however, the rolling Black River suppressed it! The claw was forced back.

Sounds of loud explosions!

Under the significantly weakened dual suppression of the formation and the Dark World membranous wall, those creatures with Primordial Bloodlines managed to barely penetrate the Dark World membranous wall, causing loud noises that shook the ground.

But the Black River rolled back and forth, easily pushing them back.

The Dark World membranous wall also healed in the blink of an eye, continuing to encapsulate the creatures with Primordial Bloodlines.

"I thought I would need to intervene personally," Luo Feng watched the scene.

His intervention this time was also to clarify some detailed situations regarding the suppressed world entrance.

This world, named Xiangjie.

Inside Xiangjie, were some creatures with Primordial Bloodlines cultivated by the Primogenitor Yan Feng.

Primordial Bloodlines are originally from the true Primordial Life beyond the Braided Cage! The bloodline being too strong and terrifying, even a Godly King, if touched directly, would likely be completely contaminated and lose themselves.

Therefore, Primogenitor Yan Feng, Ancestral God of Thunder, and others nurtured some special creatures, many of which are not native to the Land of Origin.

Through the natural propagation of these creatures, they continuously dilute and reduce the 'Primordial Bloodline.'

As in Xiangjie's interior, live what are known as Primal Chaos Realm level creatures! Like the golden scale beetle carcass that Master once gave to Luo Feng, it was a very powerful Primal Chaos Realm creature.

What are clearly Primal Chaos Realm creatures, yet possess strength comparable to the ordinary Godly King.

"Inside Xiangjie, there are Primal Chaos Realm level creatures with Primordial Bloodlines. These belong to the weakest creatures with Primordial Bloodlines, and their bloodlines are the thinnest," Luo Feng thought, "That's why they only assigned a Transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm to guard here."

The Flame Wind Ancient Country also has some creatures with stronger Primordial Bloodlines, born with emperor level strength. But those creatures are heavily imprisoned, all personally guarded by powerful Godly Kings.

"According to intelligence, Primal Chaos Realm creatures, even with Primordial Bloodlines, because of their low intelligence… generally do not match the Primal Chaos Realm cultivators who cultivate Primordial Bloodlines," Luo Feng thought.

Transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm, such as Desert Wind City Lord, after all, have high intelligence and high realm. They cultivate entry into Primordial Bloodlines, effectively becoming another kind of 'Primordial Bloodline creature.'

"Suppressing Primal Chaos Realm creatures is quite effortless," Luo Feng thought, and a massive amount of Black River merged into the 'Dark World membranous wall.' When fully fifty billion streams of Black River merged into the Dark World,

those creatures with Primordial Bloodlines could no longer smash through the membranous wall.

"I had prepared to intervene personally. Even prepared using the Star Tower to suppress the world entrance. It seems now… it's unnecessary," Luo Feng sat down cross-legged.

He had stormed into the border town, killed Yan Su, the Flame Wind Ancient Country could mostly just administer some punishments according to the law, which wasn't much. After all, conflicts among the powerful are quite normal in the Land of Origin.

But if it caused a group of creatures with Primordial Bloodlines to escape, the punishment would be severe.

Time passed.

One by one, the creatures with Primordial Bloodlines, originally still furiously attacking the Dark World membranous wall, but since they couldn't break through continuously, with low intelligence, these crazed creatures soon left.

"Now, let's see what punishment the Flame Wind Ancient Country will have," Luo Feng thought, while his avatar far in Chu Capital immediately went to visit his master, Emperor Chu.
