Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 17: Taking Action

Luo Feng sat there drinking, paying no attention to the Vice President of the Blood Python Society.

Having retreated in seclusion on the Origin Continent for more than an era, his Perfect Divine Body had fully matured to its peak. He had also preliminarily cultivated many secret techniques, converting his potential into actual strength to a certain extent.

He was no longer like when he faced Black Domor, repeatedly using only one move, the ‘Life and Death Blade.’ Now, Luo Feng was itching to face more formidable opponents.

“Among all the forces in Huyang City, the truly formidable experts include the top figures of the five major families, the leaders of the nineteen dark forces, some heads of super forces’ branches in Huyang City, and some reclusive old monsters…” Luo Feng preliminarily identified sufficiently strong opponents based on the intelligence provided by his friend, Entropy Tianyan.

Those opponents were the ones that fueled Luo Feng’s fighting spirit.

Vice President of the Blood Python Society, ‘Lai Mo,’ was just a vice president of a dark force; how strong could he be?

“Respected Luo He, you want our vice president to visit you in person?” The Blood Python Society member trembled, fearing that the vice president would vent his anger on him for reporting this.

Luo Feng’s gaze penetrated the hall door, looking into the distance: “Your vice president has heard everything loud and clear!”

If the Lanxing Hall formation isolated sound, the outside world would naturally find it difficult to spy. But Luo Feng made no effort to conceal it; the formation was wide open, so everything he said… any Eternal True God who cared to observe could see and hear it!

“Yes, I shall take my leave.” The Blood Python Society member, extremely fearful, quickly left.

The green-clad attendants in the hall and Aloya were also extremely nervous.

“Your Majesty,” the green-clad attendant transmitted, “Vice President Lai Mo is fierce and powerful. If you insult him like this, he definitely won’t tolerate it.”

“This is called an insult?” Luo Feng smiled while raising his cup, “You still don’t understand.”

…

At the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

Blood Python Society President ‘Mu Yang’ and Vice President ‘Lai Mo’ sat next to each other. They hadn’t been paying much attention to the outside affairs, but the numerous messages from Duan Moyun had made them somewhat angry.

Such an incident at Dream Flower Pavilion would surely spread throughout Huyang City. If the President and Vice President, who were right there, acted as if they hadn’t seen it, rumors would spread that the Blood Python Society was afraid.

The Blood Python Society was one of the nineteen dark forces in Huyang City.

The dark forces were tyrannical and overbearing because of their strength! Without strength, they had no right to control those territories.

“After all, he is an Eternal True God. You talk to him and resolve this small matter,” President Mu Yang said.

“Alright, I will handle it,” Vice President Lai Mo then ordered his subordinates to deliver the message.

During the message delivery, the two naturally watched from afar.

The Pavilion Master of Dream Flower Pavilion, Entropy Tianyan, and several other Eternal True Gods who were interested also focused some attention on it. Since there was no sound isolation formation at Luo Feng’s Lanxing Hall, they could see and hear everything clearly.

“If you want to see me, come in person! Why should I visit him?” Luo Feng’s words were heard by all the Eternal True Gods who were paying attention.

“Interesting!”

“Fascinating!”

“He’s giving no face to the Blood Python Society.” These Eternal True Gods were both surprised and delighted. They didn’t want to fight to the death themselves, but watching other Eternal True Gods fight to the death was more entertaining than the Hundred Flowers Banquet!

“This unfamiliar Eternal True God is extraordinarily arrogant! Even with the President and Vice President of the Blood Python Society present, he gives no face.”

“The Blood Python Society has been rooted in Huyang City for ages. If they tolerate this, they will become a joke in the entire Huyang City. So, the Blood Python Society can’t tolerate it! They must take action!” Several Eternal True Gods, who noticed, all looked at the two from the Blood Python Society.

President Mu Yang and Vice President Lai Mo both looked grim.

“President,” Vice President Lai Mo’s blood-red eyes were filled with ferocity, “This cannot be tolerated! If we tolerate it, we will be ridiculed by the entire Huyang City!”

“We are not like the five major families with powerful backgrounds,” President Mu Yang said softly, “The Blood Python Society’s territory was fought for. The dark forces’ reputation was also built on battles. Since he gives us no face, let’s see how capable he really is.”

“I’ll go see what he’s made of,” Lai Mo stood up, “An idiot who can’t even resist illusions, I want to see where his confidence comes from.”

“Never underestimate any Eternal True God,” President Mu Yang cautioned.

“Don’t worry.”

Lai Mo walked straight out.

“Vice President Lai Mo, everyone is invited to my Hundred Flowers Banquet…” said the Pavilion Master of Dream Flower Pavilion.

“This matter, Pavilion Master, please don’t interfere,” Vice President Lai Mo, with his entire body emanating a terrifying glow, his aura spreading, walked straight towards Lanxing Hall. With just a few steps, he crossed a great distance and arrived in front of the hall.

Seeing this, the Pavilion Master of Dream Flower Pavilion could only follow. With two Eternal True Gods clashing, how could she just stand by and watch, especially since this was her Dream Flower Pavilion?

“My newly made friend Luo He is not someone to be trifled with. I don’t dare to provoke the Blood Python Society, but he dares to ignore them completely!” Even Entropy Tianyan was very surprised.

“The nineteen dark forces are all renowned for their brutality, even making the City Lord’s Mansion wary.” The White Mist Lord, also a member of a dark force, was well aware of the Blood Python Society’s strength. “The Blood Python Society is not easy to provoke.”

“Interesting! This is more exciting than the Hundred Flowers Banquet!” Two Eternal True Gods from the Qumeng royal family were genuinely excited.

“These dark forces are all formidable. Let’s see what happens when this Eternal True God provokes the Blood Python Society.” Despite their high status, they too were wary of the Blood Python Society.

Dark forces generally had little background but terrifying strength!

…

For a while, more than ten Eternal True Gods all looked towards Lanxing Hall from afar, and the Pavilion Master of Dream Flower Pavilion followed closely.

Inside Lanxing Hall, the green-clad attendants and Aloya stood in a corner, extremely nervous.

“Something big is about to happen.” The green-clad attendant Yuluo was very anxious. From her experience living in Huyang City, daring to openly embarrass the Blood Python Society meant that they would definitely take action.

“For me?” Aloya was worried and guilty. She knew that at this point, she was no longer important.

“They’re here.” In the corner, Boundary Beast Morosa’s eyes gleamed as he looked outside the hall.

Luo Feng, however, continued to sit there leisurely drinking.

Vice President Lai Mo appeared outside the hall, his terrifying aura spreading over his body, his blood-red eyes fixed on Luo Feng. He grinned and said, “God Luo He, didn’t you want me to come in person? Here I am!”

“Speak quickly if you have something to say,” Luo Feng continued pouring himself wine, not even bothering to look at him.

Seeing this, Vice President Lai Mo laughed angrily.

The Pavilion Master of Dream Flower Pavilion, who had also arrived, knew she couldn’t stop it now.

“I heard you are very arrogant, not putting the Magili Clan, Dream Flower Pavilion, or my Blood Python Society in your eyes. I wanted to resolve this matter, but you are even crazier than I expected!” Vice President Lai Mo shook his head, “You should know that at this point, it’s not easy to resolve this. I give you one last chance to apologize and beg for mercy! Hand over ten thousand cosmos sand as compensation, and my Blood Python Society will let it go. Otherwise… heh heh…”

Vice President Lai Mo’s eyes grew increasingly fierce.

Back when Luo Feng killed Black Domor, the treasures on him amounted to just over ten thousand cosmos sand.

Poorer new Eternal True Gods couldn’t even come up with that much!

Ten thousand cosmos sand was a lot! Forcing Luo Feng to hand over this much would naturally give the Blood Python Society enough face.

“Enough nonsense,” Luo Feng said softly, holding his wine cup, “Either make a move or get lost!”

Vice President Lai Mo was stunned.

All the Eternal True Gods watching from afar were somewhat dazed. This new Eternal True God, ‘Luo He,’ was truly fierce! Such a fierce and domineering Eternal True God was rare in Huyang City.

Normal Eternal True Gods were usually cautious and wouldn’t act rashly.

“Very well, very well!” Vice President Lai Mo stretched out his right hand, and a black staff appeared.

Instantly, Vice President Lai Mo’s aura exploded, his divine power igniting. Since Luo Feng gave him no face, he was extremely cautious and used his most confident move right away.

Aside from not revealing his true form, Vice President Lai Mo had fully unleashed his power!

“Shatter!” Vice President Lai Mo swung the black staff, which seemed to split the chaos, carrying a terrifying intent to shatter everything, reaching Luo Feng in an instant.

In terms of strength and skill, Vice President Lai Mo was comparable

to Black Domor.

But Luo Feng was no longer the Luo Feng who had just arrived on the Origin Continent.

“Hmph.”

Luo Feng lightly swung his left hand, his palm like a blade, executing the ‘Life and Death Blade.’

When his palm touched the black staff that intended to shatter everything, the power of Luo Feng’s Perfect Divine Body, which had grown to its peak after a round of body refining, fully erupted through his palm.

“Huh?” Vice President Lai Mo’s blood-red eyes instantly widened, feeling an unmatched force crushing him. The black staff reversed and struck his body, and a blade light flashed through Vice President Lai Mo’s body.

Vice President Lai Mo’s body couldn’t withstand it; the cycle of life and death turned, and the blade light pierced through his body.

“Stop!” The distant Blood Python Society President, ‘Mu Yang,’ was shocked but couldn’t rescue him in time. The exchange between Eternal True Gods was too fast.

Luo Feng remained seated, his left hand grasping a glowing ‘True God’s Heart.’

With just one exchange.

Vice President Lai Mo’s ‘True God’s Heart’ was in Luo Feng’s hand.

“Spare me, spare me.” A face appeared on the surface of the True God’s Heart, full of terror, repeatedly begging for mercy.

The black staff and some personal treasures flew to Luo Feng. Luo Feng fiddled with them with his right hand and lightly shook his head, “Quite poor indeed.”

The stunned Pavilion Master of Dream Flower Pavilion quickly spoke, “God Luo He, please show mercy, you are both esteemed guests of my Dream Flower Pavilion…”

“I give face to the Pavilion Master,” Luo Feng said as he collected his spoils, while examining the True God’s Heart in his left hand, “Vice President Lai Mo, I will give you one last chance too. Hand over twenty thousand cosmos sand as compensation, and I will spare your life.”

“I am very merciful; your weapons and treasures count as part of it, so you only need to make up twelve thousand cosmos sand.”

“Pay, and you live. Don’t pay, and you can’t blame me,” Luo Feng said, looking at the True God’s Heart in his palm.

At this moment, the other Eternal True Gods at the Hundred Flowers Banquet felt an invisible pressure, some even feeling their own True God’s Hearts trembling.

They all realized… a terrifying figure had arrived in Huyang City!
