Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 34: He Arrives



Chapter 34: He Arrives

Over five hundred days after Luo Feng began his seclusion, a gray-robed figure entered Huyang City through the southern gate.

“Finally, I’ve arrived at Huyang City.” The gray-robed figure flew leisurely, habitually surrounding himself with a small universe field. Neither the City Lord’s continuous surveillance nor the surrounding cultivators could detect him.

Because he often took on assassination missions, he was used to hiding himself.

“This is the border of Yuguo. Huyang City, as a major city on the border, is more prosperous than other large cities.” The gray-robed figure, well-traveled, noticed that the scale, number of cultivators, and bustling atmosphere of Huyang City were among the top in the large cities he had visited.

Suddenly—

“Boom!” A massive flying treasure swiftly passed through the sky, stirring up waves of air that spread in all directions.

“Move aside quickly.”

“Get out of the way.”

Some ordinary True Gods piloting their flying treasures hurriedly dodged, even some Void True Gods had no choice but to evade to the side.

“In Huyang City, those who dare to act so recklessly are usually children of powerful families.”

“According to the regulations of Huyang City, only killings are considered serious crimes. If it’s just a collision by flying treasures, these family scions will at most be fined some chaos crystals.”

Many cultivators were helpless.

Inside that massive flying treasure were numerous guards, six family scions drinking and reveling, and musicians playing.

“How do you find my musician? Not inferior to the musicians of Dream Flower Pavilion, right?” A family scion laughed.

Just then—

An invisible law source was quietly manipulated, affecting the laws within the flying treasure. All the living beings inside, including the family scions, servants, musicians, and guards, silently turned into dust and dissipated into the air.

Without divine power to control it, the massive flying treasure drew an arc and crashed onto a formation of a distant mansion, being blocked by the formation and falling onto the street outside the mansion, causing an uproar among the cultivators.

“Almost hit me.” The gray-robed figure glanced at the massive flying treasure in the distance. “Offending the superior, deserves death!”

Killing a group of weaklings was just a thought for him.

The gray-robed figure continued to fly leisurely, not caring about this matter at all.

Such things were common in his long life. Often, due to some assassination missions, he would go to different cities. If slightly offended, he would casually kill! As he always hid his identity, and with no past interactions, the authorities could never trace the murderer.

“Whoo.”

By the fallen massive flying treasure, squads of Huyang Guards arrived.

“Killed some family scions in broad daylight?” The arriving Huyang Guards were both shocked and angry, carefully inspecting the flying treasure.

Rumble~~~ A gigantic black-scaled beast, bearing three swords, broke through the sky.

“Commander!” The surrounding Huyang Guards saluted respectfully.

On the head of the black-scaled beast appeared a figure, none other than the favorite disciple of Commander Magili Xiao, ‘Gao Wushui,’ now an Eternal True God with a clearly stronger aura.

“I received news that six family scions, including a member of the Qumeng royal family, were killed instantly, and their servants and guards all died.” Gao Wushui looked down, “Have you found anything at the scene?”

“Reporting to the commander, no traces or energy fluctuations of the attack were found,” a Huyang Guard captain reported. “To kill so silently, it should be an Eternal True God.”

Gao Wushui, standing on the black-scaled beast, observed the fallen flying treasure, his small universe field naturally enveloping it, examining every detail.

“Killed silently, yet their treasures were left in the flying boat. Clearly, the perpetrator didn’t care about these treasures.” Gao Wushui frowned, “The attacker should be an Eternal True God.”

Recently having broken through to become an Eternal True God, Gao Wushui, favored by his master Magili Xiao, directly became one of the ten commanders of the Huyang Guards. He now commanded one of the ten mechanical treasures of the Huyang Guards, the ‘Three Sword Sky-Splitting Beast.’

Compared to the ten major legions of Huyang, the overall strength of the Huyang Guards was much lower, and their legion-type treasures were far inferior.

The Three Sword Sky-Splitting Beast required only one Eternal True God and three thousand Void True Gods to operate.

“The City Lord’s Mansion’s surveillance of the entire city found no trace of the perpetrator,” Gao Wushui shook his head lightly. “If the Eternal True God was very careful, the City Lord’s Mansion wouldn’t be able to find him.”

“Investigate, find out every trace, who exactly acted, and killed the scions of my family!”

“Investigate, dare to kill a member of the Jiang family, must find out.”

Of the six deceased family scions, two were from the Five Great Families. One was a member of the Qumeng royal family, and the other from the Jiang family. Naturally, the City Lord’s Mansion deployed experts to investigate, but no results were found in a short time.

These family scions’ deaths, in the grand scheme, were insignificant. After all, the Qumeng royal family, with its long history, had countless royal members. The ones in Huyang City were just an inconspicuous branch.

“Looks like the family scions I killed aren’t of high status.” The gray-robed figure flew leisurely in Huyang City, “It’s been so long, and no powerful beings have tracked me down.”

“Clearly, the City Lord’s Mansion hasn’t used celestial divination to find me.” The gray-robed figure thought. Often engaging in assassinations, he used every means to hide his karma. Tracking him through karma wasn’t easy. Celestial divination was an easier method, but it was costly.

Capricious by nature, he acted on whims, even once killing a child of a Chaos Overlord, causing great trouble!

Fortunately, the Chaos Overlord had over 300 children, and the death of one wasn’t significant. The pursuit wasn’t too intense, allowing him to escape with his life-saving secret technique! Thus, he fled to Yuguo!

In Yuguo, he continued his ways, killing whenever he wanted!

“I want to purchase all intelligence on ‘Eternal True God Luo He’.” The gray-robed figure flew in the air, contacting through the Dark Hall communication token.

“All intelligence on Luo He, valued at 100 Cosmos Sand, confirm purchase?” Dark Hall responded.

“Purchase.” The gray-robed figure didn’t mind the price. Intelligence was graded, the higher the grade, the more expensive. ‘All intelligence’ was naturally the most expensive. Fortunately, Yan Feng Pavilion’s understanding of Luo Feng was limited, so the intelligence wasn’t too costly.

“Shadow Cang, 100 Cosmos Sand deducted, your balance in Dark Hall is 829,200 Cosmos Sand.”

“Is there a bounty for Luo He in Huyang City?” The gray-robed figure asked, unable to find one through the communication token.

“No bounty.” Dark Hall responded.

The gray-robed figure was displeased, closing the communication token.

“Yan Feng Pavilion’s intelligence is detailed enough.” The gray-robed figure also saw an image, Luo Feng with six pairs of golden wings spread, surrounded by chaotic airflow.

“Based on the image, Luo He’s six pairs of wings resemble the single mechanical treasure ‘Chaos Golden Wings’! Judging by the battle traces, he had an absolute advantage in his fight with the President of the Blood Python Society, likely mastering a Chaos-level move.” The detailed intelligence included some speculations.

Yan Feng Pavilion’s intelligence was quite accurate. However, the ‘Perfect Divine Body’ had never appeared on Origin Continent, so Yan Feng Pavilion didn’t consider that possibility.

Thus, there were deviations in their speculations.

“Mastering a Chaos-level move?” The gray-robed figure didn’t care.

Among the top Eternal True Gods, some, through bloodline talent and understanding of Chaos laws, might occasionally master a killing move without fully comprehending the entire Chaos law.

“No matter how high his comprehension, he will die if hit in the divine body.” The gray-robed figure contemplated, “According to the intelligence, he should be in seclusion in his mansion now. Seclusion is when he’s most cautious. I must wait for an opportunity, wait for his most relaxed moment, to strike and ambush!”

Yan Feng Pavilion.

“Pavilion Master, Shadow Cang has arrived in Huyang City. He just purchased intelligence on Luo He through Dark Hall.” The Vice Pavilion Master approached a burly man.

“He came to Huyang City? It seems it was Shadow Cang who killed the six family scions today.” The burly man smiled.

“Unfortunately, we can’t sell this intelligence.” The Vice Pavilion Master also smiled.

Yan Feng Pavilion had strict rules.

If they obtained clients’ secrets through other channels, they could sell them as intelligence.

However, intelligence related to clients’ transactions with Yan Feng Pavilion was absolutely forbidden to be leaked. For example, Luo Feng’s recent purchase of crafting materials worth 700,000 Cosmos Sand, Yan Feng Pavilion would never disclose.

Transactions had to be confidential!

With formation spirits monitoring the entire Yan Feng Pavilion, neither the Pavilion Master nor the Vice Pavilion Master dared to break the rules.

“He purchased intelligence on Luo He, probably intending to deal with Luo He.” The Vice Pavilion Master said.

“I’ve always been unable to see through Luo He. Maybe Shadow Cang can figure him out.” The burly man said.

******

Time passed, and in a blink, Luo Feng had been in seclusion for over

1,200 days. The second layer of the ‘Chaos Force Diagram’ was nearing completion.

The first seclusion took over an epoch, mainly because growing the divine body to its peak took a long time. The actual body refinement time wasn’t long.

The second time, Luo Feng focused solely on body refinement, so it was naturally faster.

At this moment, in the underground hall of Chaos Armor Mansion No. 913.

In the Star Tower, Luo Feng revealed his colossal divine body, towering 180 billion kilometers tall.

A large amount of materials stacked in the distance flew up, naturally beginning to smelt, then merged into the towering divine body. After merging, Luo Feng split into numerous thoughts, beginning to inscribe dense formation diagrams.

“The first body refinement was just barely laying the foundation, everything was rough.”

“Now the structure of the treasure is much more refined.”

As Luo Feng approached complete success, his perception became very clear.

His divine body was a super-large weapon treasure! A weapon treasure 180 billion kilometers tall, the power was imaginable. The previous body refinement made the treasure rough, relying purely on its size to break through. That’s why it was so powerful.

Now, with much more precision, the divine body’s power was naturally far more terrifying.

“Buzz~~~”

As the body refinement completed, Luo Feng felt a deep sense of joy. Every move he made was several times more powerful than before. Even his flexibility and speed had qualitatively improved.

“Since arriving on Origin Continent, I’m still in the period of strength enhancement.” Luo Feng smiled.

Those top Eternal True Gods generally reached their limits in all aspects. Their bloodline reached the tenth level of eternity, their secret techniques reached the peak of the eternal level, and progress was very difficult.

Luo Feng’s ‘Chaos Force Diagram’ had three eternal-level realms, and now he had completed the second realm. For the ‘Nine Blades of Breaking the Realm,’ he had only mastered three of the six eternal-level blade techniques.

For God King-level methods like ‘Destruction’ and ‘Donghua,’ progress was even slower. The ‘Lieu Yuan Technique’ progressed even slower, taking epochs to gradually comprehend and improve.

“Time to go out and relax.” After completing the second body refinement, Luo Feng was in a good mood. He quickly put away the Star Tower and left the underground hall alone.

With a single thought, Luo Feng found the mansion very quiet, with Morosa and Moyu Qingyan still not back.
