Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Hei Duomo was well aware that if he were to withstand such an attack head-on, his godly body would definitely collapse.

Yet, this unfamiliar eternal true god actually withstood it!

"I can't afford to wear him down!" Hei Duomo's three heads grew colder in the eyes, "To kill him, I must shatter his godly body in one fell swoop! There's only one way left, to use the forbidden move of the Black Sky Spear Technique! I refuse to believe he can withstand that!"

Without hesitation, Hei Duomo executed the forbidden move of the Black Sky Spear Technique, and at this moment, in Luo Feng's view, Hei Duomo's towering figure seemed to explode, with an immense surge of Divine Power boiling over.

Hei Duomo instantly burned fifty percent of his godly body's power!

A typical eternal true god unleashing such a mighty force would scatter it, struggling to control it. But Hei Duomo, using the immense Divine Power he set ablaze, executed the forbidden move of the Black Sky Spear Technique!

"Black Sky Destruction!!!" With an increasingly icy gaze, Hei Duomo swung his eight spears!

Incredible Divine Power poured into the eight spears, and as they swung, their phantoms naturally converged into a black shadow as imposing as a pillar from the heavens, with Hei Duomo himself merging into that heavenly pillar-like shadow.

The pillar-like black shadow came crashing down!

The Black Sky Spear Technique's forbidden move, "Black Sky Destruction," was Hei Duomo's desperate move. If he couldn't kill his enemy with this move, he would escape with all his might without a second's hesitation.

"Impressive!" Luo Feng watched the heavenly pillar-like black shadow, and in that moment, he felt the annihilation of all things, everything returning to primal chaos.

"His move already possesses a part of the Primal Chaos Mindset."

Invincible and lonely for too long, facing such a formidable opponent excited Luo Feng so much that his blood boiled!

Luo Feng instantly wielded his knife to counter the heavenly pillar-like black shadow, and at the moment of contact, his body shook violently, Boom!!! He could feel the power of the pillar-like black shadow instantly transmitting into his body, causing a massive explosion within!

Even Luo Feng, with his Perfect Divine Body, sensed the extraordinary force of this move, instantly obliterating a significant portion of his Divine Power.

In midair, Luo Feng's body burst out with blinding light. Beneath the terrible explosion, shockwaves radiated in all directions, much more powerful than the aftershocks of "All Worlds as One."

The intense explosion ripped open many wounds on the surface of Luo Feng's body.

Watching Luo Feng in midair, his body tattered with many wounds, Hei Duomo was stupefied.

"The godly body hasn't collapsed?" Hei Duomo couldn't believe it; his forbidden move had consumed a full fifty percent of his Divine Power, and with the previous depletion, only thirty percent was left, leaving him much weakened and completely unable to launch another forbidden move.

All of Luo Feng's wounds healed automatically as he looked at Hei Duomo: "Do you have any stronger moves?"

The towering and mighty Hei Duomo's heart trembled, and he fled without the slightest hesitation.

Buzz!

He instantly turned into a shadowy figure, tearing through the night sky, fleeing towards the far distance.

"It will probably take a few more days for the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower to mature and fall. I'll go to Huyang City first to ask for help," Hei Duomo thought, escaping with all his might. The Shi Kingdom's branch in Huyang City still had many experts. "With a numbers advantage, I believe we should be able to handle this strange eternal true god."

"Buzz~~~"

With just a distant look in his eyes, Luo Feng released an invisible fluctuation that instantly swept over Hei Duomo. Amidst his escape, Hei Duomo vaguely saw an endless vortex of black mist enveloping him, the black mist vortex instantly swallowing his will!

As an eternal true god who had endured the ravages of endless years, his will was naturally very strong. But the devouring power of the black mist vortex was too terrifying; it had almost completely annihilated his will upon contact.

Hei Duomo, while fleeing, materialized in midair, tracing a parabola out of inertia and crashing heavily onto the ground, as if he had fallen asleep.

"I was completely overpowered in close combat," Luo Feng took a step and arrived near Hei Duomo's body, looking at the mountain-like frame, "It was only with the Secret Technique of Willpower from the 'Nine Netherworlds' that I managed to take him down."

This move was precisely the 'Nightmare of the Nine Netherworlds,' a Secret Technique of Willpower from the "Nine Netherworlds"!

In order to help the Primordial Ancestor, Luo Feng had also cultivated the "Nine Netherworlds" to the eternal true god level. It was a complete legacy primarily focused on illusion techniques and also contained three secret techniques of willpower.

In terms of sophistication, the three secret techniques of willpower associated with the "Nine Netherworlds" were rather ordinary and couldn't compare to the "Lie Yuan Technique."

But with his terrifying will at the pinnacle of primal chaos, the seemingly ordinary 'Nightmare of the Nine Netherworlds' still became very fearsome!

"The fact that I was forced to use a Secret Technique of Willpower is enough for you to take pride in," Luo Feng swung the Bloodshadow Knife in his hand, and the dim shadow of the blade pierced through Hei Duomo's defenseless body, stabbing into Hei Duomo's True God's Heart.

One strike, destroying the True God's Heart.

Hei Duomo, in his daze, was already dead.

A star in the night sky dimmed, a sign that Hei Duomo's small cosmos, deep in the night sky, was collapsing.

In the night sky, stars shone brilliantly, countless stars twinkled, either dimming and collapsing or shining brightly. Every time a star dimmed, it signified the death of a creature. For the vast Land of Origin, the death of an eternal true god was like a small wave in the ocean, barely noticeable.

"This battle was truly not easy," Luo Feng touched his face, having been roughed up not too long ago, his face took quite a few hits, "My close combat is indeed very weak."

From beginning to end, he had relied solely on the Perfect Divine Body to withstand attacks!

Body Refining Secret Technique? Protective Secret Technique? Blade Technique? Movement Technique?

He kept using only the 'Blade of Life and Death,' knowing nothing else!

Luo Feng spotted the unprotected Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower at a glance; the scent of the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower, no longer concealed by Hei Duomo's power, began to spread rapidly.

"The Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower? No wonder an eternal true god would fight so desperately for it!" Luo Feng revealed a joyful expression; with a thought, his invisible power instantly enveloped the area, perfectly concealing the scent of the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower.

He concealed his aura far better than Hei Duomo, absolutely leaving no trace of flaws.

Even as Luo Feng concealed the surroundings, he completely obscured the vast area where the battle had taken place. Even if a True God passed by, they would notice nothing amiss.

"Swoosh."

The honest Morosa flew over from the distance, landing next to Luo Feng, and clicked his tongue in amazement as he looked at Hei Duomo's corpse: "Master, you've used the Secret Technique of Willpower again! When you were dealing with me initially, it was this technique you employed."

"Willpower is also a part of my strength," Luo Feng said.

"That battle just now was totally one-sided," Morosa remarked with emotion.

Luo Feng glanced at him.

Morosa immediately covered his mouth, then he greedily eyed the array of weapons and treasures left by Hei Duomo: "This Eight-Armed Eternal True God had quite a few weapons."

"If you want them, take them yourself," Luo Feng said.

"Two spears are enough for me," Morosa said right away, summoning two black spears into his hands. He twirled the spears, his face filled with joy.

At his level, weaker weapons were not as robust as his body! And Eternal Level weapons weren't so easy to come by; Morosa didn't have a single weapon that suited him up until now.

"With weapons, my strength will at least double," Morosa said gleefully.

"Just two spears are enough?" Luo Feng asked.

"Yes, yes, that's enough," Morosa replied.

"Once you're in Huyang City, you'll need some spending money." Luo Feng tossed a black-green jade vial to Morosa.

After receiving it and taking a brief look, Morosa saw that the black-green jade vial contained more than a hundred grains of sand, each with an embryonic universe within. There were also neatly cut Primal Chaos Crystals and several piles of colorful stones.

"So these are the Cosmic Sand, Primal Chaos Crystals, and Primal Chaos Stones? 122 grains of Cosmic Sand, 30,000 Primal Chaos Crystals, and a large amount of Primal Chaos Stones," Morosa said curiously, very pleased.

According to the currency exchange ratio of the Land of Origin, one grain of Cosmic Sand is equivalent to 10,000 Primal Chaos Crystals, and even more valuable than 100 million Primal Chaos Stones.

Cosmic Sand had become the highest currency denomination.

"How come he didn't have a single piece of armor?" Morosa wondered aloud.

"Armor is much more expensive than spears," Luo Feng explained. "His wealth was mainly spent on weapons and inheritance; the eight spears alone are worth eight thousand grains of Cosmic Sand."

Eternal True God Level armor, whether in terms of forging difficulty or the materials required, is far superior to weapons of the same level.

"Master, can I have his corpse?" Morosa asked, eyeing Hei Duomo's massive corpse with covetousness.

He loved to devour small universes, but he also relished the corpses of super-strong beings. As long as he consumed enough energy, he could continue to grow.

"Wait until I'm done studying it, then it's yours." Luo Feng gathered all the spoils of war first.

The spoils left by Hei Duomo were quite decent: the eight spears were about 8,000 grains of Cosmic Sand in value, the 19 Blackwater Cones were also around 2,000 grains of Cosmic Sand, plus some Cosmic Sand he carried, piles of Exotic Beast Materials, among others—totaling an estimated 15,000 Cosmic Sand in value, which Luo Feng also shared part of with Morosa.

"In the Land of Origin, Bloodline Cultivation Methods are typical," Luo Feng said, studying the corpse for a moment. "The bloodline inside this corpse is indeed very powerful."

"However, relying on the bloodline will only take you to the Primal Chaos Overlord level at most," Luo Feng was aware of this as well.

According to records from his master, Mountain Sitting Guest, and the Duan Dong River lineage, nearly half of the Primal Chaos Overlords from Land of Origin had reached their positions through Bloodline Cultivation Methods, while the other half had comprehended the Primal Chaos Laws.

And Godly Kings? Not a single one depended on bloodlines.

"I'll give you the corpse," Luo Feng said, glancing at Morosa. "Hurry up and get into Star Tower!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Morosa excitedly collected the massive corpse, subsequently getting absorbed into Star Tower to enjoy his feast to his heart's content.

"The most delicious food I've had since I was born."

Within one of the floors of Star Tower, Morosa drooled at the sight of the huge corpse in front of him and began to greedily absorb it. The corpse's immense Divine Power was continuously drawn into Morosa.

Outside.

Luo Feng was sitting cross-legged next to the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower, quietly waiting.

"The bloom of this Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower lasts only ten days in total, probably not many days left." Luo Feng was in a good mood, as the value of this Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower was much, much higher compared to the treasures left by the deceased Hei Duomo.

...

Within Huyang City, a towering pavilion named 'Sky Cloud Tower' soared into the clouds.

At the very top of Sky Cloud Tower, Chairman Zan Yun sat alone, gazing at the partially obscured view of the cityscape amidst the clouds.

"Hmm?" Chairman Zan Yun's expression changed slightly as he took out an octagonal token. Through it, he could sense the other twelve Eternal True Gods from the Shi Kingdom's branch in Huyang City.

At that moment, he lost the signal from one of them.

The token, bestowed by the Marquis, could sense others within the range of the Land of Origin. Generally, a loss of signal indicated death.

"Hei Duomo is dead?" Chairman Zan Yun was shocked.
