Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

And in the border region adjacent to the two Ancient Countries, there is a Heavenly Yin Fruit tree, which is currently in its maturation period, with an estimated thousands of fruits maturing in succession. The Thunder Ancient Country has set up a powerful Formation with a garrison commander who has transcended the Primal Chaos Realm.

"The two Great Ancient Countries occupy the most central and prosperous areas of the Land of Origin, monopolizing the various rare treasures nurtured by heaven and earth. They also fight each other, contending for the other's treasures," Luo Feng looked at these missions.

Heavenly Bend Stone Essence, for instance, ranks lower among the resources of the two Ancient Countries and is only sporadically poached by the particularly bold.

As for something more precious like the Heavenly Yin Fruit, even Godly Kings dare not pilfer it easily. Usually, it's the two Ancient Countries that act against each other to snatch it.

"These troublesome missions are divided into three categories, namely bounty missions, garrison missions, and treasure snatching missions," Luo Feng reviewed, "Bounty missions are very difficult to complete by killing the target. If the target reincarnates, that adds a stealthy great enemy."

"Garrison missions consume a lot of time."

"Treasure snatching missions are extremely dangerous."

Luo Feng pondered for a moment.

With the ability to Break Laws with Force, he could bully the weaker ones.

But high-merit garrison and treasure snatching missions were likely to encounter opponents of the same level. Those who had transcended the Primal Chaos Realm all had higher realms and their methods were unfathomable and mysterious.

"Compared to other transcended beings of the Primal Chaos Realm, I only know how to charge blindly ahead, which makes me easily played. I still need to accumulate more," Luo Feng thought as he looked at these missions. "Only bounty missions are most suitable for me."

"I'll also discard targets with very strong Spiritual Will."

"I'll choose those with weaker Spiritual Will."

Luo Feng reviewed the bounty missions, and finally set his sights on one.

Bounty Mission: Eradicate Great Saint Beiyu completely!

Great Saint Beiyu had not offended the Flame Wind Ancient Country, but the reason for his bounty was due to a hobby of his—treating Cultivators as delicacies!

Within his territory, he deliberately built many ordinary cities for Cultivators to live in, occasionally devouring all the Cultivators in an ordinary city. He didn't devour them all at once, but rather savored them slowly.

Because his domain wasn't big enough, his feasting wasn't as satisfying! Occasionally, he would roam elsewhere to devour.

When feasting in foreign lands, he would indulge himself, devouring an entire large city's Creatures in one gulp. However, this action would also infuriate the masters of those domains! Great Saint Beiyu did not dare to make too many enemies and had to control the frequency of his actions.

Such behavior ultimately landed him on the bounty list of the Flame Wind Ancient Country! Although he had been killed a few times in his True Body, he was still alive and well to this day.

"This Great Saint Beiyu..." Luo Feng remembered that back when he was in Huyang City, dealing with Meiwu Qi, Meiwu Qi mentioned this Great Saint Beiyu who would swallow a large city in one bite.

"He's at the pinnacle level of the Primal Chaos Realm and is said to cultivate the Great Dao of Life Origin, having an extremely strong ability to preserve his life," Luo Feng read the briefing and regarded such arbitrary devouring of Creatures as scum in his eyes.

The briefing stirred his killing intent!

"I haven't heard that his Spiritual Will is particularly strong, let's see if he can withstand my Lie Yuan Technique," Luo Feng thought.

At this stage, using the Lie Yuan Technique against those from the Primal Chaos Realm is no big deal.

First of all, as a supreme secret technique, the Lie Yuan Technique is unique, belonging only to him. Nobody knows the characteristics of the Lie Yuan Technique, making it tough to identify that Luo Feng possesses it.

Furthermore, as a being transcended from the Primal Chaos Realm, grasping a supreme secret technique by chance is not an unusual affair!

As far as Luo Feng knew, the Ancestor left behind many opportunities, most of which were monopolized by the two Ancient Countries.

"To thoroughly slay someone at the pinnacle of the Primal Chaos Realm is truly difficult. Even for me... I'd have to rely on the Lie Yuan Technique," Luo Feng silently lamented, no wonder Godly Kings were not too willing to accept missions.

My close combat skills are formidable; with one move, I can annihilate an enemy.

Yet, the enemy possesses all sorts of Life-saving Secret Techniques, like regenerating from a drop of blood or using a resurrection vessel. However formidable my close combat might be, it poses no threat to a resurrection vessel hidden somewhere in the Land of Origin.

...

Tianji Icefield.

Great Saint Beiyu was large in stature, with a huge furry head, as he leisurely walked through the harsh wilderness, looking distantly at the city ahead.

"This city has reproduced enough Cultivators," Great Saint Beiyu eyed his cultivated food, licking his lips hungrily.

Devouring Cultivators was not only a hobby but also an essential part of Great Saint Beiyu's Cultivation method, allowing him to meditate on the Great Dao of Life Origin.

In the Land of Origin, there are some who are at the level of Primal Chaos Realm and Godly Kings in the Great Dao of Life Origin, including those like Luo Feng who pity weaker life forms. There are also others like the Ancestral God of the Snow Realm and Great Saint Beiyu who view countless lives as materials for Cultivation—great demon lords.

This lineage might not be strong in direct combat, but they generally possess an extremely strong ability to preserve their lives.

"Father, I've become a True God," a young girl excitedly rushed out of the Quiet Room to tell her parents.

"Big sister is so amazing."

Her younger brother and little sister, both children, crowded around the girl, cheering.

The Tianji Icefield has a harsh living environment, making acquiring Cultivation Resources much more challenging. The Bloodline Cultivation System, in particular, requires a plethora of resources; without them, progress is difficult.

The parents looked at their eldest daughter, smiling with joy. Her breakthrough was mostly thanks to her father's adventures outside the city, slaughtering Exotic Beasts and obtaining their essence.

"In the future, I'll strive to become a true god of void space. Then I can take good care of father and mother, as well as my brother and sister," the girl said determinedly.

"Good, in the future, it's up to you to buy us a cave mansion," the parents said, beaming with happiness.

Just at that moment—

"Enough offspring have been bred, time to truly indulge," the Great Saint Beiyu, standing in the open field, suddenly opened his mouth.

Boom!

Countless creatures within the city suddenly saw an immense head appear above the city. The head was so large that it was difficult for the creatures within the city to see it clearly in its entirety.

The gaping maw of this furry head had already completely enveloped the sky above the city.

"No—"

"What is this?"

"Help."

"Great Saint Beiyu, save us."

Numerous cultivators were in a state of panic, some even calling for Great Saint Beiyu to save them.

Because every time Beiyu devoured a city of creatures, his territory would bear no rumors of 'his devouring of creatures.' For with his strength, as soon as such rumors emerged, he would quickly devour those spreading them.

"Woosh." An unseen wave of terror covered the entire city, sweeping all the creatures within toward that gaping maw in the sky.

"Father, mother, brother, sister," a girl who had just become a True God was in a panic, trying to grab onto her family members.

But as they were swept up and began to fly, they couldn't come together again; they could only watch each other in despair.

"Hahaha…"

On the enormous head of Great Saint Beiyu, his face was filled with satisfaction, as he was obsessed with this kind of devouring.

Suddenly, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes as he noticed a man dressed in black appearing in the field. This man in black had stepped out from the void, appearing as an ordinary cultivator.

To the now city-sized Great Saint Beiyu, this man in black seemed like nothing more than a tiny speck.

Yet, he was trembling inside because he recognized at a glance that this person was indeed the Great Saint Luo He—as depicted in intelligence reports. Great Saint Luo He… that was a Transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm, a guest elder in Flame Wind Ancient Country.

"Slash!" Luo Feng, seeing what was before him, did not hesitate to employ the Lie Yuan Technique.

"Hmm?"

Great Saint Beiyu found that everything before him had vanished. He could no longer see Great Saint Luo He, and he could no longer feel his own existence.

In the world he could see, there was only a single, endlessly majestic star. This immensely huge star, constructed by Luo Feng's Spiritual Will using the "Lie Yuan Technique," was focused into a singular force. At this moment, it came rolling in, crashing down upon the Spiritual Will of Great Saint Beiyu.

Pu—

His Spiritual Will was obliterated instantly, without any chance to resist.

After countless years, Great Saint Beiyu too had reached the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm with his will! Even when facing a Godly King, a Godly King's Will would typically only suppress him. To kill him with just Willpower? Such cases were rare among Godly Kings.

But at this moment, his entire Spiritual Will was extinguished in an instant.

"Whoosh."

The colossal body of Great Saint Beiyu in the sky, having lost consciousness, began to fall.

Countless swept-up citizens, losing the force that swept them up, also began to fall toward the city below.

"Buzz." Luo Feng waved his hand, collecting the body of Great Saint Beiyu.

"His Spiritual Will is still within the Primal Chaos Realm category," Luo Feng confirmed after the confrontation, "As long as it's within the Primal Chaos Realm, it can still be killed in a thought with the Lie Yuan Technique." Continue reading at mvl

The leap from the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm to Godly King Level is a qualitative change.

Godly King's Will combined with the Lie Yuan Technique could sweep through all Primal Chaos Realm Willpower strongholds.

But there is not much difference between the First Realm and Second Realm of Godly King. Even with the Lie Yuan Technique, at most, it would only suppress.

"The Lie Yuan Technique is already quite powerful," Luo Feng was clear that completely killing a cultivator, preventing even reincarnation, was extremely difficult!

Utter annihilation of Will is quite rare and demands very high requirements. The ordinary Secret Techniques of Willpower do not possess the power of the Lie Yuan Technique.

In the Land of Origin, complete annihilation usually follows two paths.

One is the path of causality. Even for cultivators of the Causal Great Dao, substantial strength superiority is required to use causality to instantly eliminate all of the opponent's means of revival.

The other and most challenging one to cultivate is the path of the soul!

Powerful practitioners of the soul path can directly annihilate the opponent's soul, naturally leading to complete death.

But the path of the soul has no Great Dao within the supreme rules! It must be explored and grown within the darkness by oneself. It is widely acknowledged as the most difficult path to cultivate.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

Dense swarms of cultivators fell from the sky, landing within the city.

"Father, mother," the girl regrouped with her parents, younger brother, and sister. They were anxious and confusedly looked towards the sky.

After landing within the city, countless cultivators looked towards the sky in fear.

The once gigantic maw in the sky had now disappeared.

"Having killed this Great Saint Beiyu and obtained a complete body, I can provide it as food for Morosa," mused Luo Feng as he already traversed the void, heading for Flame Wind Ancient Country.
