Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

< Chapter 1: First Arrival at Origin Continent >

In the dark and profound Reincarnation Channel, Luo Feng gazed at the end of the channel where light shone brightly. With his strength at the level of an Eternal True God, he could already see the vibrant and vast world ahead.

“Master, we have finally reached the Origin Continent,” exclaimed the Boundary Beast Morosa excitedly.

“Yes, we have finally arrived,” Luo Feng replied with a smile.

In the primal universe’s region, the two of them had long been utterly invincible, and loneliness had been their only companion for too long.

Luo Feng looked at Morosa and said solemnly, “Once we enter the Origin Continent, you must not reveal any information about Boundary Beasts. There are countless existences stronger than us on the Origin Continent. Once exposed, we will have no escape!”

“Master, rest assured, even if I die, I will not reveal any information about Boundary Beasts!” Morosa responded.

Luo Feng nodded, “Both of us have perfect divine bodies, and even in death, a single drop of our blood can regenerate us. However, if the information about Boundary Beasts is exposed and some terrifying existences on the Origin Continent target us, they will find every single drop of our blood and completely annihilate us.”

Morosa nodded in understanding.

The technique from one of the three great legacies of the Broken Eastern River lineage, the “Undying River”, could bring someone back to life with just a drop of blood.

Both Luo Feng and the Boundary Beast Morosa possessed perfect divine bodies and had achieved a hundred thousand times the level of life. Their lives were filled with incredible aspects, as they could isolate their life force, rendering life-locking ineffective, obscure the workings of fate, and even change their forms flawlessly, leaving no flaws to be found.

Without needing to cultivate the “Undying River,” their single strand of hair or a drop of blood could enable them to be reborn again.

“Origin Continent’s waters are unfathomably deep,” Luo Feng said seriously. “Through endless ages, the only Boundary Beast that has managed to survive is the one in the Tianmu Kingdom. All other Boundary Beasts are dead.”

Luo Feng was full of anticipation for Origin Continent, but he was also well aware of its extreme dangers.
Master Zuo Shan Ke and the third generation ancestor of the Broken Eastern River lineage were both existences at the level of Divine Kings, yet the third generation ancestor had died completely! Master Zuo Shan Ke was also forced to flee into the cosmic sea due to being hunted!

“All other Boundary Beasts are dead?” Morosa was startled. “But they are all Perfect Divine Bodies, with extremely strong abilities to preserve their lives.”

He himself was a Boundary Beast and was very familiar with the numerous means to preserve life.
“They are all dead,” Luo Feng nodded. Without the constraints of the supreme rules, he had received a vast inheritance of information from the Broken Eastern River lineage and the Jin World lineage in the cycle channel, and had come to know some secret information about Origin Continent.

Master Zuo Shan Ke was very afraid that Luo Feng would die before growing up, so he had informed him of all the taboos early on.

The lineage of the Broken Eastern River was also passed down individually and likewise informed about the various dangers of Origin Continent.

“Boundary Beasts naturally master the Path of Destruction. Once they grow up, they become a catastrophe. Any power on Origin Continent that discovers them will eliminate them at the first opportunity,” Luo Feng explained. “The Boundary Beast of Tianmu Kingdom, on one hand, was already at its peak when it was exposed, making it difficult to deal with. On the other hand, it is controlled by a master and does not engage in wanton destruction. That’s why the various powers of Origin Continent tolerate its existence.”

“I too have a master,” Morosa hastily said.

Luo Feng laughed, “Having a master, you still need to be strong enough. Otherwise, those ancient beings won’t mind crushing you with a flick of their hand.”

“Whether it’s you or me, we are still very weak,” Luo Feng looked distantly at the outer world, “We are just Eternal True Gods, and should harbor a heart of reverence.”

“Yes,” Morosa immediately responded.

Under the soul enslavement, Morosa would rather die than disobey Luo Feng’s commands.

As a Boundary Beast, devouring and destruction were their favorite activities and also their fastest way to grow.

However, in the primal cosmic region, after the Boundary Beast Calamity, under Luo Feng’s orders, Morosa had not devoured a single minor universe but instead slowly grew by absorbing chaotic airflows, taking eons to reach the level of an Eternal True God.

Even as Luo Feng saw the end of the reincarnation passage from afar, the Star Tower still flew for a while before truly arriving.

Swoosh!

The Star Tower flew out of the reincarnation channel, arriving at a dim and vast land. A vast aura spread and gathered into some mist, making the world hazy and hard to see.

The reincarnation channel that had been there on their arrival had disappeared, and Luo Feng immediately retracted the Star Tower, appearing on the vast land with Morosa.

At this moment, Luo Feng’s hair had grown much longer, a pair of dark golden horns had emerged on his forehead, and his appearance had slightly changed. Morosa still looked like a simple and honest guard, with silver-grey skin, somewhat ugly but very earnest.

“Although the small universe of the Purple Moon Ancestor was destroyed at that time, he is still alive. He is well aware that when I first became a True God, my small universe had a diameter of one billion light-years,” Luo Feng murmured quietly. “To have such a vast small universe upon first becoming a True God is an unthinkable matter. It could potentially draw the attention of powerful beings.”

“The Purple Moon Ancestor is just a Void True God, with little influence and weak words. He should not be able to contact any powerful existences. But still, I must be cautious,” Luo Feng knew well that a moment’s carelessness could lead to eternal regret.

Give no opportunity to the enemy.

With his Perfect Divine Body, he changed his aura and appearance so much that even the Purple Moon Ancestor himself would not recognize him if he came in person, let alone other powerful beings from the Origin Continent who have never seen him.

“Master, look!” Morosa exclaimed in shock as he looked at the night sky.

Luo Feng also looked up.

The night sky of the Origin Continent was vast and deep, filled with dazzling stars.

Countless stars in the night sky, some large and some small, were incredibly far from the earth. Some of these exceptionally large stars, despite being separated by who knows how much time and space, still emitted an aura that startled Luo Feng.

“Beings born in the Origin Continent usually become True Gods,” Luo Feng said as he looked up. “Their small universes appear in the deepest parts of the night sky, each star representing a small universe!”

“True Gods, Void True Gods, Eternal True Gods, Lords of Chaos, Divine Kings! All of their small universes are in the starry sky, which is why it is so brilliantly lit,” Luo Feng pointed at some of the stars in the night sky that had a terrifying aura. “The stars with the most terrifying auras are the small universes of the Divine Kings.”

“Are countless small universes really scattered across the night sky?” Morosa watched with envy, thinking that if he could devour them freely, his growth would accelerate immensely.

Luo Feng glanced at him.

Morosa responded with a naive smile.

“Looking at these countless small universes, one can understand just how profound the waters of the Origin Continent are. We are merely two small fish,” Luo Feng remarked as he gazed at the starry sky.

“Should a massive star fall one day, it would also signify the death of a powerful being.”

Morosa nodded in understanding: “By observing the stars in the night sky, one can discern which of the mighty are alive and which are dead.”

“You don’t even know which stars correspond to whom,” Luo Feng said, no longer observing the night sky, but instead quietly sensing the spatial, temporal, and various law fluctuations of the Origin Continent.

“The stability of space is terrifying!” Luo Feng stretched out his right hand, a dark vortex emerging in his palm, tearing and causing slight ripples in space, “Space is like an endless ocean, and my power can only cause a few ripples.”

Luo Feng sensed the flow of time here and compared it to his divine presence back in his homeland.

“Time flows very slowly here; a second here is equivalent to 10,081 seconds in the original universe,”

Luo Feng looked around, the vast land before him, but he could sense the fluctuations of the laws between heaven and earth.

“The laws of chaos are very clear to sense!”

Luo Feng’s eyes lit up with excitement, “It’s so clear!”

Back in his homeland, it felt like sensing the laws through layers of fog, too vague.

In the Origin Continent, the layers of fog had dissipated, allowing for a view as if from an extremely close distance! This also made comprehending the laws much easier, and the Origin Continent was more conducive to the birth of powerful beings.

“If I had come to the Origin Continent during my True God phase, I would have reached the level of Eternal True God much faster,” Luo Feng thought.
Below the level of a True God, it was suitable to cultivate in the region of the original universe.

Above the level of a True God, the Origin Continent was more appropriate.

Even with Luo Feng’s talent, he had cultivated in his homeland until the great destruction of the original universe, observing the destructive path of the Boundary Beast, the great destruction and rebirth of the original universe, before finally comprehending the source of creation and destruction, stepping into the realm of the Eternal True God.

Of course, it took Luo Feng so long because, apart from the laws in the original universe region being too vague and the efficiency of cultivation being too low, there was another reason—comprehending the source of the laws was extremely difficult!

Like the original ancestors, long-time cultivators such as the Eastern Ancestor and Purple Moon Ancestor were only Void True Gods.

“Master, where shall we go next?” Morosa looked around. “Also, after carefully sensing the surroundings, I haven’t detected the original ancestor.”

“After breaking through the cycle of reincarnation to reach the Origin Continent, we could appear anywhere on the continent,” Luo Feng explained.

Luo Feng carefully looked in all directions, his gaze penetrating the layers of spatial obstacles to see into the distance.

On this vast land, there were giant worm-like beasts lurking deep in the earth, divine birds flying high in the night sky, a cautious team of True Gods exploring, and a flying boat stealthily moving with its aura concealed.

Luo Feng observed, “Within my range of observation, I’ve spotted about a thousand strange beasts, a small team of twelve True Gods, and a lone Void True God.”

“That’s him, a native cultivator I first contacted upon arriving in the Origin Continent,” Luo Feng looked towards the flying boat in the distance.

* * *

The flying boat moved silently, its presence hidden as it glided through the air.

Inside the flying boat stood a tall man with a sharp tail, clad in dark green armor, his eyes emitting a faint glow as he observed the outside world.

“This time, I nearly lost my life!” MoyuHu, piloting the flying boat and concealing its aura, expressed excitement amidst the tension, “But the intelligence was accurate, and it ultimately led me to the treasure. I, MoyuHu, have finally made a hefty profit. With this treasure, my three children can receive excellent cultivation.”

“Perhaps, is there hope for my eldest, who is the most talented, to apprentice under the Eternal True God?” MoyuHu harbored this desire.

The Origin Continent was filled with formidable beings, and the hierarchical structure was strict. The relationship between a master and disciple even surpassed familial bonds, as having children could be the result of a momentary passion. However, in the Origin Continent, if a master takes on a disciple, it generally involves training the disciple in cultivation and even providing resources and arranging their future…

The importance of a master to a disciple was self-evident!

“Even if they cannot apprentice under the Eternal True God, all three children could at least learn a powerful legacy,” MoyuHu thought to himself. His wife had died long ago, leaving behind three children who were his greatest concern in this world.

In the Origin Continent, where countless tribes of cultivators converged, although many cultivators hardly cared about the survival of their offspring, MoyuHu cared deeply!

As a Void True God, he possessed an infinite lifespan, and aside from his own cultivation and growth, the only thing he cared about were his three children.

“Soon, it will only be ten days until we return to Huyang City,” Moyu Hu thought. He carefully steered the flying boat, avoiding some perilous areas.

Suddenly—

Moyu Hu felt an irresistible force enveloping him, and the flying boat seemed like a flat boat caught in an ocean whirlpool, plunging into it and shrinking progressively smaller and smaller!

“This is bad,” Moyu Hu felt a chill in his heart. The flying boat he controlled was utterly unable to escape the terrifying spatial vortex, only continuing to sink deeper within it.

Eventually, the flying boat fell into the deepest part of the spatial vortex, which was in the palm of a gigantic hand. The lines on the palm resembled riverbed gorges.

Luo Feng stood motionless, merely controlling the void, which caused the space around the distant flying boat to shrink and gently captured it in his palm. Beside him, Boundary Beast Morosa also looked on curiously, “Master, capturing this flying boat?”

“First, let’s ask for directions,” Luo Feng observed the beings inside the flying boat.
