Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

"I have a Perfect Divine Body, and so does he! But in terms of realm, he is much higher than I am. Just this one swallow... It seems simple, but in reality, it approaches the Primal Chaos Realm. With a surprise attack, even that assassin couldn't escape."

Luo Feng was very clear about the strength of the assassin.

Under the suppression of controlling Primal Chaos, even with both hands and the Wings employing Blade Technique, he couldn't touch the assassin.

Yet, with just an open mouth and a swallow, Morosa caught the assassin who couldn't dodge.

"And Morosa's Perfect Divine Body is even more resilient! The assassin's sword could pierce my godly body, but when it reached Morosa's mouth… Morosa's mouth was undamaged."

From just this one swallow, Luo Feng saw a lot.

Morosa, who possessed the Great Dao of Destruction Origin, would grow stronger with each swallow, his comprehension of the 'Great Dao of Destruction Origin' deepening until the moment he fully mastered it. Even with talent like Luo Feng's, he felt the gap between them.

"Morosa is a Perfect Life Form by nature, while I've cultivated myself into one."

"As a Sector Beast, he naturally possesses 'destruction of the origin,' his life essence equivalent to the Primordial Cosmos. I am somewhat weaker; I need to cultivate and comprehend step by step."

"Of course, I am his master."

Luo Feng revealed a smile.

Morosa took only two steps to reach Luo Feng's side. Seeing his master's smile, he felt somewhat anxious and quickly said, "Master, I didn't go against your orders. The moves I used were all normal ones."

"I'm not blaming you," Luo Feng said with a smile.

When he first arrived at the Land of Origin, Luo Feng strictly ordered that even if it meant death, Morosa must not reveal his Sector Beast identity. If exposed, it would attract the attention of the truly terrifying beings of the Land of Origin, and that would be the end.

The power Morosa wielded was normal Divine Power, and the moves he exhibited were also typical. Naturally, Luo Feng would not blame him.

"Is the assassin dead?" Luo Feng asked.

"Once I swallowed him into my body, he was dead," Morosa nodded.

With an equally Perfect Divine Body, Morosa utilized it more perfectly, unleashing a more terrifying strength.

"He carried a Karmic Messenger Order. Did he have time to transmit my strength before he died?" Morosa suddenly worried.

"Did he say you're also a powerful eternal true god?" Luo Feng shook his head, "Don't worry. Even if it's revealed, it's no big deal."

Super-strong eternal true gods are not rare. Every large city can find a few, and their number across the whole Land of Origin is even larger. Even if the outside world learns that both master and servant are powerful eternal true gods, it's just a trivial matter.

"I acted very quickly, and at that time, all he wanted was to survive, struggling with all his might. He died the instant I swallowed him, so he probably didn't have time to transmit a message," Morosa said. "These are all his remaining possessions, including the Cosmic Sand."

With a wave of his hand, Morosa made a pile of items appear beside him, including the Sword of the World's Core from before.

This time, unable to withstand the impulse to act, Morosa worried his master would blame him, so he didn't dare to keep any of the spoils of war to himself.

"If you need anything while following me, just tell me," Luo Feng didn't refuse and accepted all the treasures. After all, Morosa would naturally grow stronger, so being poor wasn't an issue; Luo Feng himself was the one most in need of resources.

Only if he became strong enough could he protect this Sector Beast in the Land of Origin someday.

"Then I'll go into seclusion first, to assimilate this," Morosa said.

"Mm," Luo Feng beckoned, collecting Morosa into the Star Tower.

Inside one floor of the Star Tower's space.

Looking at the corpses of the two eternal true gods, Commander Qianyu Chong and Meiwu Qi, lying before him, Morosa couldn't help but smile, "The master also cares a lot about me, purposely preserving the bodies of these eternal true gods."

If Luo Feng hadn't deliberately preserved them, their bodies would have long since turned to ash.

...

Luo Feng still maintained his small Cosmic Domain, enveloping the entire Cave mansion. He glanced at the damaged mansion and the scene within the small Cosmic Domain shifted, rocks and soil consolidating to begin repairing the mansion.

"Qingyan, you can come out now," Luo Feng called out.

As a True God, Qingyan had been hiding in a small building, terrified. Barely touched by that skirmish, he would have been no more.

Therefore, when Luo Feng employed the small Cosmic Domain, he also deliberately protected Moyu Qingyan! Of course, Moyu Qingyan did not witness the ensuing confrontation.

Under the cover of the small Cosmic Domain, if Luo Feng didn't want him to see, he wouldn't be able to.

"Master," Moyu Qingyan ventured out of the small building and looked around before asking, "Master, where is Lord Luo Sa?"

During this time, the master hadn't instructed him. But Lord Luo Sa often gave him guidance, and Moyu Qingyan was very grateful to Morosa. Now, not seeing Morosa, Moyu Qingyan worried... Had Lord Luo Sa been affected and died?

"Rest assured, he's in seclusion," Luo Feng said, "The battle is over, don't think too much, and go on with your cultivation."

After speaking, Luo Feng flew toward the pavilion atop the high mountain.

"Yes, master," Moyu Qingyan respectfully complied. He was indeed unsettled by the harrowing experiences of late.

******

Flame Wind Pavilion.

The gray misty figure and the Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion sat opposite each other, both guessing that with Luo Feng coming out of seclusion, the long-awaited Ying Cang would nine times out of ten make a move.

"There's a result." The figure in the grey mist looked at the message before him. "Ying Cang actually died; he was famously known for his strong survival skills. Not only did the assassination attempt on Lord Luo He fail, but he also lost his life."

"Uncle, are you sure Ying Cang is dead?" The Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion was somewhat surprised.

Even with his unlimited godly body, he dared not claim he could completely kill Ying Cang.

Defeating was easy, killing was hard.

"His karma has completely dissipated. Through the Karmic Messenger Order, we could lock onto his position. When he died, he was in the cave mansion where Lord Luo He was." The figure in the grey mist said.

This was also the reason why Luo Feng had always avoided using the Karmic Messenger Order. Some powerful forces were able to use the Karmic Messenger Order to lock onto positions.

Without using the Karmic Messenger Order, those major forces, even if they deduced some vague karmic ties of Luo Feng, could only determine whether the karma existed or not, but would find it difficult to lock onto his position.

"The karma has dissipated, and it's within Lord Luo He's cave mansion." The Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion nodded. "This Lord Luo He is unfathomable!"

Even he, a scion of Emperor Chu's lineage from the Flame Wind Ancient Country, possessing unlimited godly bodies and profoundly deep accumulations at the eternal true god tier, and cultivating the very top inheritances of the Land of Origin, felt wary of Luo Feng.

"This Lord Luo He is either of very high realm or has an extremely formidable killer move." The figure in the grey mist also speculated.

...

Luo Feng sat in a pavilion atop a high mountain, drinking alone.

As he drank, he reflected on this exchange.

"The strength of the assassin, the strength of Morosa, it all proves one point...my weakness in the realm aspect." Luo Feng pondered.

Godly body, will, and realm—these three aspects.

His godly body was a Perfect Divine Body, undeniably strong, which was his absolute advantage. That was why he was willing to use a lot of resources for Body Refinement, further increasing this advantage.

Will, at the pinnacle of Primal Chaos Dominator Level! Luo Feng had never slacked off in that regard. He spent most of his time cultivating the Heart Honing Secret Method within the Lie Yuan Technique.

As for the realm, it was relatively weak. The realm was the most important of the three aspects. To step into the Primal Chaos Lord Realm, to reach the Godly King tier, one must attain a sufficiently high level in the realm.

"Once the recent trivial matters are resolved, I need to calm down and focus on comprehending the Primal Chaos Laws," thought Luo Feng, "But those Five Great Families probably won't let things go easily."

"Hmm?"

Having just experienced a great battle, Luo Feng was on high alert. He sensed a presence arriving outside of his cave mansion, and upon close inspection, he saw Moli Meng retracting the Flying Boat, landing in front of the mansion's gate.

"Brother Luo He, I'm right outside the main entrance of your cave mansion," communicated Moli Meng politely.

The main gate opened, and the Formation revealed a passage.

Moli Meng flew in and immediately noticed some geographical changes within the entire cave mansion; some old buildings were gone, and a few new constructions had appeared.

Whoosh.

Moli Meng flew to the top of the high mountain and saw Luo Feng sitting there drinking.

"Brother Luo He," Moli Meng said with a smile.

"I just went through a big battle and did some repairs on this cave mansion," Luo Feng sat on top of the mountain with a puzzled look towards Moli Meng. "I just offended the Five Great Families at the Dream Flower Tower, and upon returning to my mansion, I immediately faced an assassination. Was the assassin sent by your Five Great Families?"

Why the assassin came and who the assassin was, Luo Feng still didn't know.

"No, it wasn't our Five Great Families," Moli Meng replied anxiously. "The city owner's mansion monitored that there was an ultra-strong energy fluctuation at Brother Luo He's mansion. The intensity of the fluctuation was even stronger than when you killed the Blood Python Leader. The Five Great Families were also worried about misunderstandings, so they asked me to come explain."

"Explain?" Luo Feng continued drinking, letting Moli Meng stand there. "Then explain to me, how did the assassin come so quickly and with such prowess, if not sent by you, then who sent him?"

"We of the Five Great Families are very clear about your strength, Brother Luo He. Within a short time, no one in Huyang City could have been hired to dare confront you," explained Moli Meng.

Luo Feng listened.

"In my opinion, it could be one of your past enemies or maybe a message sent by the Blood Python Leader before his death that attracted some strong outsider," Moli Meng suggested. "In any case, it's unlikely anyone from Huyang City would make a move."

Luo Feng looked at him. "Is that all you've come to explain?"

Moli Meng chuckled. "I trust Brother Luo He has his own judgment."

"If there's nothing else, you may leave," Luo Feng urged, without a hint of politeness.

The act of the Five Great Families allowing Meiwu Qi to massacre billions of civilians had made Luo Feng quite displeased with them.

"Brother Luo He, my Moli Clan has no intention of being your enemy," Moli Meng shook his head. "My father, Moli Xiao, has long issued an order forbidding conflict with you, Brother Luo He."

Luo Feng listened.

"But the other families are used to being high and mighty!" Moli Meng shook his head. "You directly publicly killed one of their members, and they simply cannot tolerate it. I do have a method. Brother Luo He, if you would condescend to become the Vice Commander of the Huyang Legion!

In this way, you'd become one of the high-ranking members of Huyang City, as well as part of our Five Great Families..."

"You can get out now!" Luo Feng's voice was cold.

Moli Meng was taken aback, could only stand up to bow. "Brother Luo He should understand, some of the Five Great Families purely seek pleasure, some are here to get things done. Our Moli Clan is one that works hard. We don't wish to be your enemy, but if you do not budge, I can tell you they will not let things rest. I know their temperament very well."

Luo Feng smiled faintly, a coldness in his smile.

Seeing that smile, Moli Meng felt a sudden chill, as if he glimpsed a river of blood.

"I will try my best to mediate the matter, and should there be any special circumstances, I will also communicate and notify Brother Luo He," Moli Meng said before turning to leave by himself.
