Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

To enter the Primal Chaos Layer on one's own was a feat most Primal Chaos Overlords found unattainable.

The simplest method was to travel upstream through the 'Primal Chaos Ruins' to reach the Primal Chaos Layer directly.

"Boom~~~"

An endless surge of Chaotic Power stretched as far as the eye could see.

As Luo Feng ascended upstream through the void rift, the space around him was initially narrow, but as he continued to fly upstream, it became more and more spacious, until it was completely boundless! Luo Feng understood, "This must be the Primal Chaos Layer."

"Such a dense concentration of Chaotic Power spread everywhere." Looking around, Luo Feng felt as if the Primal Chaos Layer was like an infinite ocean with Chaotic Power acting as the seawater, and he was a fisherman venturing out into the sea for the first time.

"The leaf of the Void Proliferation Mother Tree is indeed miraculous." Luo Feng glanced at the leaf he carried with him, which constantly emitted an invisible force of void fluctuations, naturally enveloping Luo Feng within its scope.

Within this range, the Primal Chaos Layer did not reject Luo Feng at all.

"This leaf, carried with me, will completely wither in about an epoch, which is plenty of time." Luo Feng was quite satisfied as he observed the Primal Chaos Layer with the curiosity of a child.

Chaotic Power surged endlessly, with various manifestations of the Primal Chaos Laws materializing throughout the layer, adding to its splendid brilliance.

"These randomly manifesting Primal Chaos Laws are all distinct," Luo Feng noted. "The dazzling and bright Primal Chaos Laws emitting golden light, the icy, pale-green Primal Chaos Laws, even the silver-white Primal Chaos Laws... As the manifestations of the Primal Chaos Laws slightly vary, their outer appearances differ."

Chaos possesses infinite possibilities.

A slight transformation could result in various manifestations like 'Primal Chaos Gold,' 'Primal Chaos Fire,' 'Primal Chaos Thunder,' and more.

Once one masters the Primal Chaos Laws, one can proceed towards any Origin Great Dao.

"The essence is singular, the manifestations myriad," Luo Feng thought. "Countless cultivators, regardless of the system they practice or the techniques they realize, are ultimately converging towards the Primal Chaos Laws."

Luo Feng flew slowly around, observing the randomly materializing Primal Chaos Laws and trying to comprehend them deeply.

Each manifestation brought Luo Feng different insights.

Just as Luo Feng was intently comprehending, suddenly—

A fiery red streak of light emerged from the Primal Chaos Current and charged straight towards Luo Feng.

"Huh?" Luo Feng was startled, and in an instant, ignited his Divine Power and reached out to grab it, capturing the fiery red streak of light.

The fiery red streak of light struggled and twisted in Luo Feng's palm.

Yet under Luo Feng's burning Divine Power, the force unleashed by his Perfect Divine Body was enough to surpass those newly advanced cultivators within the Bloodline Cultivation System of the Primal Chaos Realm. Of course, if the Primal Chaos Realm cultivators had cultivated for extended years and enhanced themselves in all aspects, their power would be incomparable to Luo Feng's.

At that moment, simply catching a small creature, Luo Feng found it quite effortless.

"What is this?" Luo Feng looked at his palm, where he was holding a fiery red bug with a shell that looked like red-glazed crystal. It seemed very small, but its struggling force was strong, comparable to the Vice President Lai Mo of the Blood Python Association.

"Is this a Primal Chaos Layer Creature?" Luo Feng was already aware from the intelligence he had received that the Primal Chaos Layer, with its endless Chaotic Power, naturally gave birth to some unique creatures.

These creatures had extremely low intelligence, purely acting on instinct, and were incapable of communicating.

"As recorded in the information from my master, the creatures of the Primal Chaos Layer feed on Chaotic Power, acting purely on instinct. Their bodies contain varying degrees of Primal Chaos Laws. Due to their low intelligence, their strength generally rests at the Eternal Realm level.

It's incredibly rare for any to reach the 'Primal Chaos Realm,' and those that do typically have very unique body structures and have long been captured alive by the major powers of the Land of Origin," Luo Feng looked at the fiery red bug in his palm and thought.

"It's said that if it can't consume Chaotic Power, it will starve to death and its body will completely disintegrate, returning to the cosmos."

Starve to death?

In the Land of Origin, even the weakest cultivators could absorb the energy of heaven and earth, making it impossible to starve to death.

But these Primal Chaos Layer creatures, whose strength ranged from the 'Eternal Realm to Primal Chaos Realm,' had to feed on Chaotic Power or they would starve, their bodies disintegrating and returning to the cosmos.

"Throughout the entire Primal Chaos Layer, it's impossible to find Primal Chaos Layer creatures with 'Primal Chaos Realm strength' because they are too precious and have been captured long ago," Luo Feng looked around.

For him, the Primal Chaos Layer was fascinating.

Yet, for the topmost beings of the Land of Origin, sweeping through the Primal Chaos Layer was a simple task, which is why they would allow their younger disciples to come here to cultivate without worrying about encountering danger.

The eternal true gods who could come to the Primal Chaos Layer were elites cultivated by major forces, with deep accumulations in all aspects, managing to realize at least a few Primal Chaos Realm techniques as a base, and their strength generally reaching the levels of General Yong and Divine Monarch Xue Yun.

For them, the Primal Chaos Layer creatures with 'Primal Chaos Realm strength' being captured meant that the rest, though stronger than them, posed no threat to their safety with their instinct-driven actions.

"Snap." With a slight exertion of force, Luo Feng crushed the continuously struggling bug within his palm.

The body shattered into dozens of pieces, each one still struggling to merge back together.

"Such tenacity in life," Luo Feng noted as he observed, Divine Power infiltrating the broken parts, he could sense traces of Primal Chaos Laws.

"Within the Primal Chaos Layer, Primal Chaos Laws might materialize substantively at any moment, each occurrence differing from the last. Perhaps at some moment, it would form a small creature. These Primal Chaos Layer creatures could be considered solid manifestations of Primal Chaos Laws," Luo Feng mused.

...

Huyang City, city owner's mansion.

The many eternal true gods from the Five Great Families gathered to see Her Royal Highness Yushui Tianyu off.

"Your Highness, Luo He followed the Primal Chaos Ruins into the Primal Chaos Layer and has not returned yet," the Lord of Huyang City said softly.

Previously, Yushui Tianyu had said she would set off the next day, which was actually giving Luo Feng an opportunity! Before her departure, Luo Feng could still find the princess.

But once she returned to the Royal Capital and reported to her father, if Luo Feng wanted to turn back and ask to become her disciple again, it would be too late! Given the status of the Monarch of Yu Country, would he offer a second chance after being refused once?

Yushui Tianyu gently shook her head: "It seems that he truly has no intention of becoming a disciple. With such strength, he must already have a formidable legacy, perhaps being a disciple cultivated by a major power."

The Lord of Huyang City nodded in agreement.

In the Land of Origin, it was common to have multiple teachers. When weak, one might be apprenticed to an eternal true god, and once strong, to a figure of the Primal Chaos Realm or even a Godly King! This was all very normal.

Luo Feng's refusal to take the Monarch of Yu Country as his master naturally led to many speculations among them.

"Let's go, there's no need to see me off any further," Yushui Tianyu said with a wave of her hand. A massive boat appeared in the sky, and she immediately led her subordinates to fly towards it. This group of subordinates also included the Black Butcher and his disciples.

The Black Butcher brought a total of nine disciples and some family servants this time. After all, in the future while following Her Royal Highness the Princess, it was not possible to prepare every meal personally. For common guests, it would suffice for the disciples to cook.

The nine disciples were all ones the Black Butcher trusted and liked, among them was Suo Zi.

"I never thought I would be going to the Royal Capital," Suo Zi still felt a surge of emotions and could hardly calm down even now. The previous night, his master had suddenly returned and immediately convened his nine most valued disciples, asking them if they were willing to go to the Royal Capital together, mentioning that it was in the company of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

The nine disciples were somewhat stunned, but without any hesitation, they all chose to go.

To the Royal Capital! Following Her Royal Highness the Princess? How could they possibly miss out on this?

"Brother Suo Zi."

In the distance, there was also Suo Yun who came to see him off.

Ever since the Black Butcher became an eternal true god, Suo Yun treated Suo Zi much more warmly, and now he was tearfully saying goodbye to his brother.

Suo Zi flew towards the Flying Boat and saw Suo Yun below, sending him off, and he nodded slightly.

No matter what barriers lay between them, in the end, they had grown up together in the tribe. Now they were completely parting ways, and it was likely they would find it difficult to see each other in this life.

"Suo Zi, we are going to the Royal Capital."

"I never imagined that I, a true god from the lower echelons of Huyang City who learned culinary arts from the master, would first become a true god of void space and now am on my way to the Royal Capital," the other disciples of the Black Butcher were also incredibly excited.

Two of these disciples brought their families, and Her Royal Highness the Princess had already granted the Black Butcher a cave mansion, making it quite easy to accommodate some family servants.

"Whoosh."

Accompanied by the massive Flying Boat traversing time and space, it completely disappeared from the skies above Huyang City, and the crowd that had come to say farewell began to disperse.

Suo Yun silently watched this scene, with the departing group.

"I did everything possible, even risking my life to seize every chance, and am still only a mid-level figure in Huyang City's dark force 'Thousand Mountain Tower'.

Yet Suo Zi just followed the Black Butcher in learning culinary arts, and now he's going to the Royal Capital, and can follow Her Royal Highness the Princess," Suo Yun couldn't understand why there was such a vast difference in their destinies.

Is it really just fate?

...

Within the Primal Chaos Layer.

Days passed, and Luo Feng wholeheartedly studied the manifestation of various Primal Chaos laws, also encountering numerous attacks from Primal Chaos Layer creatures. Despite only retaining their primal instincts, each one of these creatures was extremely aggressive.

Luo Feng also captured many Primal Chaos Layer creatures, and even dissected their bodies to examine them closely. But as soon as he let go, the bodies of these creatures would merge and flee in terror. Clearly, their instincts also knew fear.

On this day, Luo Feng was as usual attentively observing the manifestation of Primal Chaos laws, contemplating and pondering.

Suddenly—

A streak of silver light emerged from the Primal Chaos Current and shot past Luo Feng like a flash of silver Blade Light.

Luo Feng, as usual, burned Divine Power and reached out to grab! His seemingly simple action was infused with profound meanings, and the clumsy streak of silver light could not avoid it and was directly caught by Luo Feng.

"Hm?" Luo Feng only felt a pain in his right palm, and the streak of silver light had already darted out to a distance and stopped.

Luo Feng looked at his palm in surprise; his palm had actually been cut open, revealing a bloody wound. Both the skin and muscle layers were partly sliced through, with blood flowing freely.

"It can actually injure me? Its strength is not inferior to Xue Yun's, I suppose," Luo Feng said, somewhat astonished.

Thank you to the new Alliance Hierarch 'Aishe Zhang' for the reward.
