Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Huyang City, Morosa also looked toward the direction of the Eater King's Capital from afar.

"Something's amiss; the life of the Dark Sky Venerable... doesn't quite align with the direction of nurturing an inner world!"

As a God King Second Realm Beast, Morosa had a certain perception of the abilities possessed by the Pinnacle Sector Beast and could even nurture an army right now. However, he refrained from doing so only to conceal his identity.

Therefore, as he observed the figure of the Dark Sky Venerable, Morosa sensed something was wrong and immediately used telepathy to contact Luo Feng, "Master! A Pinnacle Sector Beast can nurture a powerful Destruction Army, which should be able to produce warriors stronger than itself."

"Sector Beasts are very balanced in all aspects."

"Destruction Army leans more towards combat," Morosa transmitted telepathically. "An army nurtured by a Pinnacle Sector Beast must first have a commander, who could be called the 'Destruction Emperor,' governed by eighteen generals and thirty-six leaders."

"The Destruction Emperor is the most perfect Ultimate Realm warrior! Inferior to Sector Beasts in terms of survival but stronger in combat."

"I feel that the life of the Dark Sky Venerable is incomplete! The fusion of six Venerables should be the Destruction Emperor," Morosa transmitted. "As a part of the Destruction Emperor, the life form should be immensely strong, master you must be careful."

...

Luo Feng heard Morosa's telepathic message.

Good heavens.

The Sector Beast of Tianmu Kingdom was too low-profile, splitting the most terrifying leader of the Destruction Army into six Venerables.

"Luo He." The Dark Sky Venerable looked at Luo Feng and smiled, "Your talent is indeed remarkable, but a mere avatar of yours is no threat to me. Send up all five of your avatars!"

The previous four God Kings of the Second Realm, the Dark Sky Venerable had not considered a threat! Even the Silver Moon God King whose strength was on par with the Emperor of Tian Kun, the Dark Sky Venerable ignored.

"All five together?" Five silver-clothed Luo Fengs looked at him, "No need!"

One silver-clothed Luo Feng stood there, his silver robe rapidly spreading to transform into an endless silver river! This vast silver river swept across trillions of kilometers, enveloping heaven and earth, and trapped the Dark Sky Venerable.

"Annihilate!" The silver-clothed Luo Feng stood amidst the vast river; the river trapped and corroded the Dark Sky Venerable.

This corrosive power was clearly stronger than the previous Chaotic Hole Undying Light, causing the scale armor on the body of the Dark Sky Venerable to shatter and reveal the green flesh beneath! The flesh was being eroded.

"This corrosive power?" The Dark Sky Venerable was a bit surprised, "It has the essence of my path of destruction, possessing extensive destructiveness, and the matter forming this river is terrifying; each portion of force is filled with endless vitality, constantly corroding and wearing away my physical body."

The killing techniques Luo Feng employed at this phase included the Star Tower, Will Beyond God King Level, Twenty-four Phase Form World Life, and Great Extinction Style.

The previous Chaotic Hole Undying Light belonged to a powerful move of the Second Realm of God King.

Thus, employing the corrosive technique with his physical body now truly displayed the terrifying aspect of his physical body!

"What? It can actually cause the Dark Sky Venerable light injuries?"

"This Luo He's river domain is so terrifyingly corrosive?"

Observers from all around the Land of Origin were shocked.

"This Dark Sky Venerable's technique realm is slightly inferior to mine. But its physical body is still superior to mine," Emperor Gui Xu watched the scene, "Luo He's brotherly domain's erosion caused the Dark Sky Venerable light injuries; if I were in his place, my injuries might even be more severe."

"What a terrifying domain." Wuxin God King also secretly marveled, "Even someone with my movement technique prowess can only flee faced with such a vast domain."

No matter how powerful one's movement or escape skills are, the domain is a large-spanning cover! Anyone daring to fight Luo Feng at close range is bound to be eroded by the domain.

...

This domain's prowess made everyone acknowledge Luo Feng's strength.

"Boom." The Dark Sky Venerable moved; despite the hindrance of the endless river, his speed remained extraordinarily fast, breaking through all obstructions of the river, heading straight for that silver-clothed Luo Feng avatar.

"Destroy!"

As the Dark Sky Venerable charged forward, he also unleashed a punch.

This punch affected the operational rules of heaven and earth, locking onto Luo Feng's avatar completely, unavoidable, with an endless horrifying force bearing down! Yet Luo Feng responded with a palm strike like a blade, slashing forward.

This strike was like a great sun appearing between heaven and earth! This great sun collided directly with the punch.

"Blast~~~" The terrifying force from the collision swept across all directions and even impacted towards the nearby Eater King's Capital! Countless cultivators in the Eater King's Capital were utterly terrified, feeling as though death was descending.

Whooo~~~

The Galaxy shrouded all around, completely restraining the collateral force.

The Dark Sky Venerable still stood in his original place after the punch, only a few scales fractured on his fist.

But Luo Feng was sent flying backward before he could stabilize, his right hand dripping with blood.

"My physical body is slightly inferior to his, and so is the realm of techniques," Luo Feng realized the gap between them upon clashing; this avatar was just one percent of the World-lifebody's True Body's energy reserve, still slightly inferior when compared to the Dark Sky Venerable.

"Boom!"

In the vast silver river, the Dark Sky Venerable charged and rushed towards Luo Feng relentlessly, as Luo Feng used him as a whetstone, repeatedly testing his own techniques.

Luo Feng studied the deep secret patterns of the Star Tower, Life, Destruction, Integration of Life and Death... He gained insights! Although not as perfect as the 'Great Extinction Style,' it was still quite formidable.

Now he tested it in actual combat!

The Dark Sky Venerable, deemed the darling of the path of destruction origin, continuously pressed Luo Feng hard with various techniques.

The two fought for a moment, exchanging hundreds of moves!

"Even a mere avatar of Luo He, his physical body is only slightly weaker than mine," Dark Sky Venerable was secretly alarmed, "Moreover, his vitality is even more terrifying than mine; even after so much fighting, his Divine Power Reserve hasn't diminished at all."

Neither's energy reserves had been spent.

This was the result of a terrifyingly powerful physical body.

"I can't always be helping the Cold Forest Country Lord guard his territory, this Shi Kingdom will ultimately fall to Luo He," Dark Sky Venerable realized this fact.

"However, I can't let my Destruction Army lose its prestige!"

Dark Sky Venerable's eyes turned cold, and a long stick appeared in his hand—it was a God-King Ultimate Realm Weapon!

For Tianmu Kingdom, it was difficult to procure a weapon beyond the God-King level. However, weapons and secret treasures of the God-King Ultimate Realm level were still accessible. Each of the Six Great Venerables possessed one such suitable weapon of the ultimate realm.

"Rip!"

As soon as the stick in Dark Sky Venerable's hand swept out, it instantly tore open the heavens and the earth, creating a small, finger-wide fissure in the membrane wall of the Source World.

The fissure extended all the way to Luo Feng's avatar.

"Puff!" Luo Feng's physical body was torn open with a huge wound.

"Ultimate Realm technique." Luo Feng realized in the moment he was hit that Dark Sky Venerable's skill with his own techniques was slightly inferior, but with the aid of a God-King Ultimate Realm weapon, he unleashed an even more horrifying power.

"His Godly body takes this hit, and the energy expenditure seems negligible?" Dark Sky Venerable was startled.

This scene also alarmed many strong beings of the Land of Origin.

"Luo He, already powerful at the First Realm of Godly King in terms of his physical body, has now reached the Second Realm... His physical body has become even more formidable!" Emperor Di Yan was secretly alarmed, "In the Land of Origin, there are few who can kill Luo He now."

"Emperor Qing, Emperor Ming might be able to completely eliminate Luo He."

"But I am no longer capable."

Emperor Di Yan disliked this feeling, but the reality was right in front of him: even a single avatar of Luo He was tremendously difficult to deal with! Completely destroying his many hidden avatars seemed nearly impossible.

"Good!" Emperor Chu, however, was quite delighted.

"My disciple has exceptional talent; what he needs now is time! Given enough time to grow, I believe he might face the Emperors directly in the future," Emperor Chu thought.

His current disciple, besides being tough and resilient, was still naïve in his techniques! He hadn't grasped a single Ultimate Realm secret technique nor possessed any powerful secret treasures.

Yet, solely with such a formidable physical body, Emperors and Monarchs too must now take Luo He seriously.

...

"Dark Sky Venerable, I too have a weapon; please give this a try." Luo Feng extended his hand, and the Bloodshadow Knife appeared in it.

The Bloodshadow Knife, as a God-King Ultimate Realm Blade Embryo with Secret Patterns needing Luo Feng's own inscription, was originally intended for Luo Feng to imprint primarily with patterns of destruction, since the path of Life and Death wasn't systematic yet. The path of destruction had guidance from a Special Grade Inheritance.

However, after observing the deeper secret patterns within the Star Tower, Luo Feng changed his mind.

The secret patterns inside the Star Tower were systematic and could perfectly complement each other.

Luo Feng contemplated this.

He began integrating the comprehensible secret patterns of life and destruction into the Bloodshadow Knife! The Bloodshadow Knife could be said to be a 'super-simplified version' of the Star Tower, primarily based on patterns of life and destruction, complementing each other.

"Buzz." Luo Feng held the Bloodshadow Knife, its blade light terrifyingly formidable.

"Slash!"

The secret patterns in the blade, inscribed by himself, were naturally easy to invoke, allowing him to perfectly wield the fearsome might of the Bloodshadow Knife.

The blade reached Dark Sky Venerable in an instant, who disdainfully didn't dodge and instead countered with a swing of his stick!

The blade edge and the long stick collided!

Boom!!!

Dark Sky Venerable, astonished, felt the heaviness of the blow, even surpassing his stick technique.

His stick technique contained many characteristics of the path of destruction, but Luo Feng's blade... its only character was 'heaviness'! Extremely heavy! Dark Sky Venerable forcefully endured it with his strong body.

Neither moved in midair.

This strike, though, was equal in power.

"God-King Ultimate Realm weapon, and you can wield it?" Dark Sky Venerable looked at Luo Feng, "Impressive, impressive."

Harnessing a God-King Ultimate Realm weapon to perform its ultimate techniques was not easy, as it required understanding the mysteries of the weapon's secret treasures.

"My blade technique relies on heaviness to win, yet it couldn't make you, Dark Sky Venerable, step back; I am still considerably weaker." Luo Feng observed him.

"You've won."

Dark Sky Venerable coldly glanced at Luo Feng, "And this is just one of your avatars."

Aware that he stood no chance against even an avatar, Dark Sky Venerable knew he had lost! Instantly, he stepped forward and traversed the Void, returning to Tianmu Kingdom!

At this moment, the various strong beings across the Land of Origin who witnessed this battle finally realized just how terrifying 'Luo He God King' really was! Even more daunting than Emperor Gui Xu, Wuxin God King.

Perhaps only under the Wind City Empress, Mother River Master, and possibly comparable to Pu Xin, Time-Space Lonely Boat's Boat Master, Yu Fu God King.
