Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 4: Luo Feng and Black Domor

< Chapter 4: Luo Feng and Black Domor >

“Ah—” Moyu Hu was somewhat astonished and was then put away. Boundary Beast Morosa gave a simple and honest smile, also looking into the distance, “Master, are you planning to make a move? Do you need my help?” Even if he were to take action, he could only unleash the powers of an Eternal True God, and would rather die than use any Boundary Beast techniques.

“If I need your assistance, I will let you know.” Luo Feng was eager to try; he had a fondness for battle in his bones, and since becoming an Eternal True God, he hadn’t yet encountered a worthy opponent.

“Alright then.” Morosa felt somewhat disappointed; he too was keen on a good fight. “You stay here and watch; I’ll go up first and take a look.” Luo Feng said, and had already flown towards the scene.

Morosa stood high in the sky, watching this scene and thought, “Master hasn’t been an Eternal True God for long and hasn’t had the chance to cultivate any powerful secret techniques. I hope this opponent is strong enough, so that I can join in.”

Morosa was itching to fight. Even without using Boundary Beast techniques, just by understanding the ‘Path of Destruction,’ Morosa had already devised many moves.

“Hmm?” As Luo Feng flew closer, he also noticed that a true god squad was boarding a flying vessel entering that area.

* * *

Inside this flying vessel, there was one Void True God and more than ten True Gods. They were carefully navigating the vessel towards Huyang City, avoiding some dangerous areas along the way.

“Suo Zhi, Suo Yun, the two of you will settle in Huyang City from now on,” instructed the long-haired man leading them. “Huyang City is a large city, teeming with countless True Gods, and even Void True Gods are just ordinary members there. And you as True Gods are considered the lower echelon.”

The two youths listened obediently.

This long-haired man was the chieftain of their tribe, the only Void True God in the entire tribe, who had also lived in Huyang City for many years.

“Once you arrive in Huyang City, you must keep a low profile. Those who flaunt their treasures might lose their lives in the blink of an eye,” the chieftain advised. “Low profile, low profile, and low profile again. Even though you are the most talented in our tribe, you still need to stay humble because you are still too weak.”

“Yes,” the two youths responded.

“As long as you ordinary True Gods don’t show off, no one will bother you. After all, Huyang City has its laws and order,” the chieftain continued. “But flaunt your wealth and you could silently lose your life, and the guards of Huyang City won’t be able to find the perpetrator.”

“Haha, chieftain, you’ve said these things many times already.”

“These two kids will surely remember it well,” the other members of the team laughed.

The chieftain nodded with a smile: “The first thing you do when you get to Huyang City is to thoroughly check your own bloodline. After that, look for secret techniques that suit you. There are countless opportunities in Huyang City; if you grasp them, you may have a chance to become a Void True God.”

Desire glowed in the eyes of Suo Zhi and Suo Yun.

They were unwilling to spend their lives in the tribe, fearing that within the tribe they would always remain mere True Gods. They too desired to become Void True Gods and to witness more marvels.

“Chief, rest assured, we remember well how to survive in Huyang City,” Suo Yun said.

The chief nodded slightly, then suddenly his expression changed.

“Not good.” The chief’s aura surged instantly, and he immediately began burning his divine body, exerting his full divine power to control the entire flying vessel. Layer upon layer of dazzling formations appeared on the surface of the flying vessel.

At that moment, ten terrifying shadows appeared simultaneously, their invisible forces merging into one, all attacking the flying vessel at the same time.

“An army formation? Ten Void True Gods?” The chief knew trouble was brewing. He had once stayed in Huyang City and had rich experiences, but after the deaths of his loved ones and close friends, he grew weary of life in Huyang City and settled in the wilderness in a small tribe.

Over a long period, he naturally became the chief of the entire tribe and attracted many weaker True Gods.

After all, those who survive in the wilderness are generally very weak and poor True Gods. Having a Void True God as a support naturally led to the formation of a larger tribe.

“Boom~~~”

The ten shadows coordinated their attack, with layers of formations emerging and interacting on the surface of the flying vessel. Even if one or two formations were broken, new ones would emerge.

“They are quite capable,” the ten shadows were surprised.

They were elite soldiers from the army, the personal guards of the army leader, Black Domor! It was very rare for someone to be able to withstand the joint efforts of ten Void True Gods for a short time on their own.

“Hurry up and finish him.”

“We can’t delay.”

They also feared angering the army leader. It would mean they were useless as personal guards if the army leader had to intervene personally.

“Boom.” “Boom.” “Boom.”…

The auras of the ten shadows surged immensely.

“What? Ten elite warriors from the army, all burning their divine bodies in desperation? I was merely passing by!” The chief could hardly believe it—what grudge warranted such desperation from the start?

The chief looked at his tribespeople beside him, his eyes filled with regret.

“We can’t escape this time; we’re probably all going to die here,” a disheveled man spoke.

The more than ten True Gods of his tribe were stunned.

Suo Zhi and Suo Yun, the two young True Gods, were especially dazed. They had been full of longing and anticipation for life in Huyang City, and now they were about to die?

Both had been born in the tribe and had never been to a big city.

“This is fate.”

“We’ve seen what there is to see, and experienced what there is to be experienced.”

“It’s a pity for Suo Yun and Suo Zhi; they’re still so young and have never been to a big city.”

The other True Gods in the tribe were mostly composed; they were the tribe’s elite, having accompanied the chief on trips to Huyang City for supplies and often going out to hunt exotic beasts. They were accustomed to life and death.

“Is it finally my turn?” The chief calmly awaited his fate, his gaze filled with reminiscence.

The other True Gods also looked outside the flying vessel, watching the terrifying scene of the siege, each waiting for death to arrive.

Suddenly—

“What is this?”

“This—”

The chief, Suo Zhi, Suo Yun, and the other tribespeople were shocked as they looked outside. They saw a black-haired man with dark golden horns appear out of nowhere, his gaze profound.

The moment he appeared, the ten shadows were so frightened that they immediately fled: “It’s the Eternal True God!”

The chief inside the flying vessel reacted the fastest, flying out to bow respectfully: “Greetings to the Supreme One!”

Luo Feng glanced at him, nodded slightly, then waved his hand to collect the entire flying vessel, including the chief.

Luo Feng himself might have to confront that unfamiliar Eternal True God, and he feared even a slight reverberation might kill these weaker beings. Unwilling to involve the innocent, he decided to take them in first.

Luo Feng then looked up, gazing towards the place where a powerful force was lurking, where the ten shadows had also escaped.

“I see you,” Luo Feng said with a smile.

The figure in a black robe lurking in the distance was gritting his teeth in anger. Although his strength was formidable, and he had cultivated to the eighth level of eternity, placing him among the very strongest of the Eternal True Gods, he did not want any disturbances while he was harvesting the blue-purple blood crystal flowers.

But as the saying goes, what you fear most is what comes upon you.

“This is my place of cultivation,” a terrifying force released slightly, a deep voice said, “This passing divine being, please leave.”

“Divine being” was a term of respect in the Origin Continent.

“My place of cultivation?” Luo Feng laughed, “How come I’ve detected the aura of a celestial treasure?”

The figure enveloped by the terrifying power then fully revealed itself as a black-robed figure.

This figure now had a sullen and irate expression. He had tried his best to conceal his aura, but the aura of the celestial treasure was too profound; to ‘perfectly conceal’ such an aura generally required the level of a Chaos Sovereign.

“The blooming period of the blue-purple blood crystal flowers lasts only ten days, and within these ten days, besides myself, another Eternal True God happens to pass by and has also detected the aura of this treasure,” the figure in the black robe sighed inwardly.

After revealing himself, he gazed at Luo Feng from a distance.

Their gazes collided.

“There is indeed a celestial treasure here, and I discovered it first,” the figure in the black robe stated. “Whoever dares to challenge me for it, I will kill.”

He was gambling.

Gambling that Luo Feng, unaware of the specifics of the celestial treasure, would not rashly initiate a conflict.

What he didn’t know was that aside from the most important few items, Luo Feng was quite destitute and urgently needed treasures to exchange for resources. Moreover, having been lonely in the original universe for too long, Luo Feng was eager for a great battle.

“I would like to try,” Luo Feng said, his eyes filled with a fighting spirit.

“You’re forcing my hand,” the black-robed figure sighed softly. The surrounding environment darkened instantly, and the ten personal guards by his side silently disintegrated and died. As they died, disbelief was evident in their demise.

“You killed your subordinates?” Luo Feng asked in confusion.

“Once they knew of the celestial treasure, they deserved to die,” the black-robed figure stated calmly.

“Normally, they could have lived a few more days, to be killed after the matter was settled. But you’ve forced this situation.”

For ordinary treasures, there was no need to kill his personal guards; Black Domor was well capable of handling the curiosity that such treasures might attract.

The violet blood crystal flower was too precious, and once exposed, it would bring too much trouble. Black Domor knew he might not withstand the consequences. Thus, his solution was to eliminate all beings that came near this area, including the ten personal guards who had been following him.

“Tell me your name, as an Eternal True God, you deserve to be remembered,” the figure in the black robe spoke.

“Since I’m going to die, there’s no need to know too much,” Luo Feng responded.

The figure in the black robe laughed in fury.

He was reluctant to make a move easily because any Eternal True God on the Origin Continent was not to be underestimated—after all, who knows when someone might produce a terrifying treasure. However, this did not mean he lacked confidence!

Black Domor, having reached the ‘Eternal Eightfold Realm’ in strength, was considered extremely powerful among the Eternal True Gods, which was why he was assigned to oversee various matters in Huyang City.

“This veteran is cautious, but this Eternal True God doesn’t know the vastness of the heavens and the earth,” the figure in the black robe brewed his killing move, which he unleashed in an instant.

“Hm?” Luo Feng sensed it.

Some unknown principle of origin was being leveraged.

A black-silver cone appeared out of nowhere.

The surface of this black-silver cone was covered with dense secret runes, the flow of which was terrifyingly powerful. As soon as it appeared, it was already in front of Luo Feng, its speed distorting space and causing slight fluctuations in the flow of time.

Luo Feng’s body was small, but as a Perfect Divine Body, its size could change at will. It seemed small but was actually immensely vast. Moreover, in his home’s small universe, divine power was continuously being condensed, constantly supplied by the connection to the heart of a true god, allowing Luo Feng’s divine body to grow continuously.

The black-silver cone was about half the height of Luo Feng, and it struck his chest instantly with a loud “BOOM!” It was as if two towering mountains had collided at high speed. Even with his Perfect Divine Body, Luo Feng was still forced to step back by the impact of the black-silver cone, and his retreat caused the void itself to shake.

At the same time, one cone after another appeared out of nowhere.

By the time they appeared, these cones were already in front of Luo Feng!

Some cones struck his head, some his back, some his face… Cones attacked Luo Feng from all directions.

There were a total of nineteen cones!

The nineteen cones coordinated with each other, their terrifying strikes flowing continuously like water, bringing destructive power that surged into Luo Feng’s body, seeking to completely destroy his divine body.

Each cone also transmitted a strange toxin, penetrating Luo Feng’s divine body and eroding his consciousness.

“Law toxin?” Luo Feng noticed, his eyes lighting up with excitement, “This is really interesting.”

It had been too long since he had encountered such an interesting opponent.
