Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 72: Facing the Origin of Life

At the core of the Origin of the Primal Universe, Luo Feng was gazing up at the towering and vast ‘Origin Path of Life’ before him.

In terms of cultivation, Luo Feng had previously had scarce resources, not even comparable to some elites nurtured by Yuguo and Shiguo, let alone the elites of the two great ancient kingdoms. The ‘Tribulation Beast Diagram’ that excited him was merely a cheap resource sold externally by the Ancient Flame Kingdom. The so-called ‘Void Diagram with Tribulation Beast Diagram’ was also circulated among the large clan disciples of the Ancient Flame Kingdom.

Clearly, in the eyes of the Ancient Flame Kingdom, this resource was insignificant.

But just with this resource, Luo Feng’s will had broken through to the Divine King level.

“The Origin Path of Life is right in front of me, and Morosa can also demonstrate some of the mysteries of the ‘Origin Path of Destruction’ for me. At least with these two Origin Paths, my cultivation will be much smoother,” Luo Feng thought.

There were various Origin Paths.

Great powers cultivated their disciples based on their strengths, choosing corresponding paths and equipping them with appropriate resources.

Luo Feng had fewer choices.

The fact that he had any choice at all made Luo Feng quite grateful.

“My deepest understanding is of the ‘Source of Life and Death’; the Origin of Life and the Origin of Destruction both suit me well.”

Luo Feng was still very satisfied.

“According to the information left by my master, comprehending an Origin Path to its initial stage as a Chaos Overlord would allow one to achieve Divine King status. After becoming a Divine King, one can begin to glimpse the facets of the Origin Path they are comprehending.”

Before reaching Divine King status, the Origin Paths were invisible and intangible.

Of course, there were some indirect methods, such as a Divine King personally demonstrating the path to a disciple, or some rare treasures that could manifest parts of the ‘Path.’

Controlling the Primal Universe allowed one to glimpse the ‘Origin Path of Life.’

“The path is right in front of me, but understanding it relies on myself.”

Luo Feng was very clear about this point.

The two great ancient kingdoms had numerous opportunities, but how many could actually become Divine Kings?

Even someone like Di Chu Yu was still at the Eternal True God stage.

No matter how many resources one had, it still depended on the individual.

The Tribulation Beast Diagram was publicly sold across the entire Origin Continent, but how many had the willpower of a Divine King?

“Origin of Life…”

Luo Feng sat cross-legged in the void, watching the Origin Path of Life in front of him.

Just by watching, a vast amount of information surged into his mind.

The winding dragon before him, with each scale, imprinted a large amount of information into Luo Feng’s consciousness.

The twenty-four claws continuously poured in vast amounts of information.

For a moment, the overwhelming information about the ‘Origin Path of Life’ rushed in all at once.

The vast influx of information made Luo Feng’s previous understanding of the laws seem shallow.

The information from the ‘Origin of Life’ carried a supreme beauty, naturally altering many of Luo Feng’s perceptions.

“Something’s wrong!”

Luo Feng immediately realized, dispersing his Divine Power Incarnation at once.

…

On the Origin Continent, in Huyang City, Yuguo.

Luo Feng was also in seclusion in an underground hall, feeling a lingering fear.

“So, facing the complete Origin of Life directly is so dangerous?”

Luo Feng was startled, “No wonder seizing the Primal Universe demands high willpower. With low willpower, facing the Origin of Life can easily lead to a complete loss of self!”

One’s own understanding, struck by more profound ‘Path’ information, could entirely alter their perception.

It could even lead to complete insanity.

“What I grasp is truly mine!”

“I must take it step by step, absorbing what I need, discarding what is not currently suitable, and establishing my foundational path!”

Luo Feng understood this point.

The vast amount of information wasn’t wrong, but his own level was too low.

It was like having an elementary school student on Earth, who had just learned addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and some basic equations, suddenly face an influx of advanced mathematical information.

Most importantly, this influx was chaotic.

The best approach should be gradual, from low to high, from shallow to deep, evolving step by step.

Each step’s foundation must be solid to hope to thoroughly dissect the entire Origin of Life.

If one were to absorb all the information at once, it would only contaminate their own understanding.

“Fortunately, I have a Divine King level will, allowing me to stay absolutely clear-headed.”

Luo Feng knew that facing the Origin of Life directly was an opportunity on par with the ‘Lieu Yuan Technique.’

But the premise was that he could handle it.

If he couldn’t, it would be more harmful than beneficial.

“Starting with my existing understanding, I will absorb what is useful to me.”

Luo Feng segmented his memories.

His memories before viewing the Origin Path were one part, and from then on, he selectively absorbed information.

Temporarily useless information was sealed aside.

At Luo Feng’s level, controlling memories was an easy task.

“First, organize the information and gradually integrate it.”

Luo Feng calmed his mind and began to cultivate. Only after organizing, researching, reflecting, summarizing, and absorbing all the information from this viewing session could he proceed to the next viewing of the Origin Path of Life.

…

Time passed, and Luo Feng temporarily halted his comprehension of the ‘Three Thousand Void Tribulation Beast Diagram,’ focusing entirely on understanding the laws.

After all, the feeling of constantly improving was indeed wonderful.

This was much more efficient than the more than twenty epochs of comprehension he had experienced before.

…

“Master, Master!”

Morosa arrived outside the underground hall, sending a mental message, “I have finished digesting; may I come in?”

Morosa was a bit puzzled.

In the past, the master would often come out to rest, but this time, the comprehension session was quite long.

“Buzz!”

The underground hall door opened, and Morosa saw Luo Feng, immediately feeling a bit uneasy. The master seemed unhappy?

Luo Feng was still immersed in his comprehension, suddenly interrupted by Morosa, his thoughts still drifting!

“Come on!” Luo Feng waved and threw Morosa into his exclusive layer of the Star Tower space, then continued to comprehend the mysteries of the laws.

Morosa arrived in his layer of the Star Tower space, looking at the corpse of Divine Lord Xue Yun before him. He immediately sat cross-legged and began to absorb.

The corpse of Xue Yun started to gradually decompose, and the decomposed divine power and bloodline continuously flowed towards Morosa.

Morosa showed a joyful expression as soon as he started absorbing.

“This bloodline of Xue Yun has reached the Chaos level?” Morosa noticed the difference immediately upon absorption.

Even though Yutian Hu’s bloodline was special, it was fundamentally different from Xue Yun’s bloodline.

Before his death, Xue Yun’s bloodline had already undergone transformation to the Chaos level!

“This time, the gains are significant!” Morosa rejoiced and immediately began to absorb and digest continuously.

In another layer of the Star Tower space.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged, and a wisp of his Divine Power Incarnation far away at the Origin of the Primal Universe began its ninth direct confrontation with the ‘Origin Path of Life,’ naturally receiving a vast amount of information about the path.

In just over an hour, Luo Feng stopped.

He began to digest the information received from the path.

In the long years before, Luo Feng had reached the pinnacle of the Eternal True God level, and in just nine direct confrontations with the Origin Path of Life, his understanding in all aspects had advanced significantly.

“I originally thought that from the pinnacle of the Eternal True God to the Chaos level, even with my Divine King level will and high comprehension efficiency, it would require a relatively long period of accumulation.”

“Now, directly facing the Origin Path of Life has sped up my accumulation immensely.”

Luo Feng mused.

Of course, this was just the beginning.

Even with the path in front of him, he had to comprehend it selectively and progress step by step.

Just like the ‘Chaos Laws’ of the Chaos Void were materialized, but how many could truly comprehend them?

…

Huyang City remained as bustling as ever, with countless citizens within not caring about the conflicts between ‘Shiguo’ and Yuguo,’ for these conflicts had persisted for countless ages, longer than their own lifetimes.

They had long been accustomed to it.

Luo Feng and Morosa, the master and servant, were both in seclusion.

In the cave mansion, only Moyu Qingyan was guarding alone.

Finally, one day!

In the layer of the Star Tower space exclusive to Morosa, he sat cross-legged, and the corpse of Xue Yun had long been absorbed.

“Hmm?” Morosa’s body suddenly trembled, and a terrifying aura erupted from within him.

The overwhelming aura swept through this layer of the Star Tower space.

This aura was filled with the intent of destruction and slaughter, even waking Luo Feng from his long seclusion.

“What happened?”

Luo Feng naturally sensed the entire Star Tower and, with a thought, arrived in this space layer.

He saw Morosa sitting cross-legged in front of him. Morosa remained in that position, but the overwhelming aura of destruction flooded the space.

Merely facing this terrifying aura, Luo Feng’s body was naturally protected by his blade technique domain, resisting the terrifying aura.

“A Boundary Beast breaking through to the Chaos level is truly terrifying!”

Luo Feng mused.

The unstable aura of destruction rampaged for a long time, and Morosa’s body began to change, naturally transforming into

his most authentic form—Moyang—a perfectly flawless tall being, embodying beauty that surpassed all races.

This beauty even contained the highest mysteries.

Luo Feng understood that Boundary Beasts were born from the Origin Path of Destruction, their bodies naturally achieving perfect limits at every level.

After a full day, Morosa finally opened his eyes slowly.

“Master, my internal boundary has fully transformed to the Chaos level!”

Morosa looked at Luo Feng and said.

“Now, my body also needs to transform to the Chaos level!”

“You don’t need to mind me, just focus on your breakthrough!”

Luo Feng watched from the side.

Morosa nodded.

Boom…

Morosa’s divine body also began to change, transforming from the Eternal level to the Chaos level.

Every ounce of power reached a new level.

In just a moment, his body had completely transformed.

Luo Feng observed Morosa at this moment, feeling that if they were to clash head-on, the Chaos-level Morosa might crush him with a single slap.

Even among perfect beings, the gap between the Chaos level and the Eternal level was vast.

“Master, my body has already transformed, and my divine power is a hundred times purer, so my size has reduced considerably,” Morosa said in his honest manner.

“I need to continuously absorb energy to sustain my body’s growth, which may take about an epoch!”

“Body growth is inherently slow.” Luo Feng nodded.

When he first arrived on the Origin Continent, it was only through long-term seclusion that his body grew to its limit.

“Your Eternal True God level divine body had an ultimate height of 180 billion kilometers, same as mine.” Luo Feng asked, “What about the ultimate height at the Chaos level?”

“Information from the Origin Path of Destruction tells me that my ultimate height at the Chaos level should surpass a trillion kilometers.”

Morosa replied.
