Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Morosa initially displayed the mysteries of destruction's origin with great patience, but as time passed, he became somewhat astonished.

"How long have I been displaying this? Thirty thousand days? Why hasn't my master allowed me to rest yet?"

"Fifty thousand days."

"One hundred thousand days, two hundred thousand days... one million days!!!"

Unable to hold back, Morosa finally spoke, "Master, may I stop now?"

Divine power surfaced around Luo Feng as he repeatedly tried to transform it; he looked up at the six branches of the destruction origin, now resembling a dark black hole: "Has it been that long, and you're impatient with your cultivation already?"

Morosa could only keep silent.

Luo Feng studied the six branches of destruction that constructed the realms, his understanding deepening. He faintly perceived the fusion of two branches into pairs, forming a stable triadic foundation.

"A triadic foundation, stabilizing the world."

Luo Feng then waved his hand and sliced open particles from the material of a golden scale beetle's corpse; inside each particle, nine smaller particles divided into three parts were rotating and chasing each other. Each of these parts consisted of three particles fusing together.

There were many commonalities between the triadic foundation of Morosa's realm and the fusion of these three particles.

Following his intuition, Luo Feng repeatedly transformed into the trinity forms he envisioned.

With the aid of the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit, Luo Feng was in excellent condition, seizing every spark of inspiration, attempting over and over. Though each attempt failed, it allowed Luo Feng to accumulate experience.

With each attempt, he edged closer to success.

Finally...

"Swoosh."

With a casual wave of his hand, Luo Feng's divine power transformed, forming three mutually intermingling particles.

These three particles, like a tripod standing firm yet subtly blending into one another, also had an intermingled core. Secret patterns infused deep within the particles, carrying essences of both life and destruction.

"It's done." Luo Feng knew instantly that he had succeeded the moment he made the transformation, guided by an indistinct feeling.

He was naturally filled with joy.

"Master, have you succeeded?" Morosa also sensed Luo Feng's intense joy.

"Let's verify it first," Luo Feng said. He waved his hand and created tens of millions of particles, then billions; soon, he reached the extreme state of 'one quadrillion and eighty billion particles.' Each trio of particles merged into one entity, amounting to 'thirty-six billion entities'.

One quadrillion and eighty billion particles converged into a black river that appeared before Luo Feng.

Merely a single black river contained a might that amazed Luo Feng.

"It's finally done." Luo Feng could feel that it was a force more powerful than many at the pinnacle of the Primal Chaos Realm.

Each black river was like a perfect primal chaos layer creature.

Perfect primal chaos layer creatures, even with average intelligence and weaker moves, could match the strength of those at the pinnacle of the Primal Chaos Realm in terms of bodily strength.

"Master, may I stop now?" Morosa ventured cautiously.

"I don't need your help anymore." Luo Feng was intently changing his divine power, easily creating hundreds of millions of fused particles, and as time went on, the number of particles he transformed each time continued to increase.

"Let me take a look," said Morosa curiously, watching from the side.

Black rivers after black rivers took shape.

Towards the end, in just a few breaths, Luo Feng formed a complete black river.

After transforming one hundred billion black rivers, Luo Feng finally stopped.

"This black river form places a heavy burden on the soul." Luo Feng felt that as he controlled more and more black river forms, the burden on his soul grew heavier.

Even though he had a perfect divine body and was at the second realm of Godly King Spiritual Will, and possessed the Lie Yuan Technique to safeguard his soul, controlling one hundred billion black river forms still seemed to expend over half of his Spiritual Will.

To wield such a powerful physical body, one needed a soul that was equally strong.

"With my soul, with my Spiritual Will... just controlling the physical body, I already feel the pressure," Luo Feng realized how astoundingly powerful his body had become at this moment.

One black river, in terms of bodily strength, was even stronger than those who specialized in the physical body at the pinnacle of the Primal Chaos Realm.

How powerful must one hundred billion black rivers be?

It was normal for Luo Feng to feel the pressure.

"Master, you..." Morosa looked at his master with some astonishment.

At this moment, Luo Feng's one hundred billion black river forces had united, and his mere presence naturally affected the surrounding world. The rules in the vast vicinity naturally revolved around "Luo Feng" as the center, with even the supreme rules momentarily yielding.

Every Godly King who mastered a branch of the great dao could influence their immediate surroundings to some extent.

Yet Luo Feng hadn't mastered a branch of the great dao; his sheer terrifying physical presence alone altered the surrounding rules.

"What's wrong with me?" Luo Feng looked at Morosa.

Morosa, looking at Luo Feng, felt the pressure too.

As a Sector Beast who stepped into the Godly King level, Morosa had mastered all six branches of destruction, experienced a hundredfold metamorphosis of divine power, and his life form was rapidly growing. His power was soaring to an extraordinarily high standard within the first realm of Godly Kings.

The current Luo Feng gave him the impression that their strengths were closely matched.

"Transcendence of the Primal Chaos Realm can be this powerful?" Morosa realized at this moment that the natural talent of a Sector Beast didn't mean it was the strongest at the same level.

"You go out first; I need to focus on comprehending," Luo Feng thought, and he sent Morosa to his own space layer.

Luo Feng began his research.

"My Trinity State is a part of the Ten Directions World form, which is made of the material from the golden scale beetle's corpse and also draws on some of the essence from Morosa's 'Sector' form, combined with the guidance from the Life Body Chapter in the First Calamity of the Eight Tribulations Life Form, I finally cultivated it," thought Luo Feng to himself, "This form shall be called 'Black River Form'."

Just as he had cultivated it, Luo Feng could feel the many special characteristics of this form.

Every Black River had extremely strong Life Spirituality, and each could exist independently.

"This could be considered a kind of Clone Technique as well."

Having completely mastered the lineage of Life Spirituality, which can master the Clone Technique, the power in oneself contains extremely strong spirituality that can separate part of its power to exist independently.

Now, every Black River could exist independently.

"If I wish, could I have a hundred billion avatars?" Luo Feng laughed to himself. Of course, he would not do that; the more the power was divided, the weaker it would be.

With a hundred billion Black Rivers converging into one, it would be very difficult for enemies to harm oneself.

But if completely separated... Some powerful enemies could easily sweep through all the weaker avatars by manipulating causality.

"My Clone Technique involves separating a part of my own power. Yan Su's Clone Technique, on the other hand, is about cultivating another complete avatar," reflected Luo Feng inwardly. Different paths truly lead to different outcomes.

"This Black River Form can even form a world of its own."

Luo Feng looked around; even with all his power completely retracted, he could still affect the heavens and the earth all around, as if a Domain.

The Black River could even merge into the Domain, forming a world of its own.

"Buzz."

In the blink of an eye, a black world appeared within this layer of space inside the Star Tower, with Luo Feng standing at the center of this vast black world.

"This black world is different from the galaxy form's cage I used to create, which was formed by the intertwining layers of galaxy threads. This Black River World... I used the power of a billion Black Rivers to truly construct a world, a world that blocks inside and outside, and even isolates some effects of causality," thought Luo Feng.

...

Two of Luo Feng's avatars left the Star Tower, heading towards Chu Capital and Huyang City respectively.

"Whoosh."

Luo Feng, like a streak of black light, traveled through the world at an extremely fast speed towards Chu Capital.

"Only the Trinity State counts as a Godly King Level move," realized Luo Feng in this moment.

Like the previous Yin Yang Particle State, a pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm that cultivates both Life Origin Great Dao and Matter Origin Great Dao, after paying a sufficient price and breaking through numerous thresholds, there's a chance to cultivate it. But even if one manages to cultivate it, the godly body, soul, and Spiritual Will are all far inferior to Luo Feng's.

The units they transform into in the Yin Yang Particle State are much fewer than Luo Feng's. With a weaker soul and Spiritual Will, they can also control fewer units.

The Trinity State typically requires the Life Origin Great Dao to reach the Godly King level, allowing for relatively easy mastery. It also needs a very high realm in Matter Origin Great Dao to carry out matter transformation.

The more complex the transformation target, the higher the requirements for the realm of material transformation.

But Luo Feng's Formless and Intangible ability belongs exclusively to the Perfect Divine Body. As long as one thoroughly researches all the mysteries of matter's composition, one can directly transform.

"My moves now genuinely have a Godly King level realm," mused Luo Feng.

People like Lord of Yuan Xiu Mansion, Great Saint Bi Yun, and Yan Su, each one of them had unfathomably mysterious moves, comparable to Godly King level.

Previously, Luo Feng relied purely on his Perfect Divine Body and powerful Spiritual Will to exhibit such power with the Yin Yang Particle transformation method. Yet when engaging with opponents, Luo Feng always appeared clumsy.

But now with the Black River Form, many of his techniques have qualitatively changed.

"Whoosh."

This avatar of Luo Feng quietly returned to Chu Capital and to his own cave mansion.

"From now on, this avatar will reside in Chu Capital," Luo Feng thought. This avatar was comprised of a hundred million Black Rivers and it also contained a reserve of Divine Power. It's worth noting that when Luo Feng employed the Blade Technique of Great Dao of Destruction Origin for long-range attacks, using several hundred thousand Blade Lights was his limit.

A hundred million Black Rivers, whether in close combat or long-range attacks, would be formidable.

...

In Yu Kingdom, Huyang City.

Luo Feng's other avatar, also formed from a hundred million Black Rivers and containing a reserve of Divine Power.

"This is my city," Luo Feng looked at Huyang City, "a part of me will also reside here in the future."

Whoosh.

This avatar of Luo Feng instantly arrived at the city owner's mansion and retracted the Divine Power Incarnation that was there.

"City Lord," the servants within the city owner's mansion all greeted respectfully, unable to differentiate between the Divine Power Incarnation and the powerful avatar with their vision.

"One avatar alone has the strength close to that of a strong practitioner in the First Realm of a Godly King," Luo Feng stood on a pavilion in the city owner's mansion, looking over the entire Huyang City, "In various aspects, my techniques are finally close to those ancient existences."

The First Realm of Godly King, for those who have just entered, have relatively ordinary strength. Luo Feng's previous Yin Yang Particle State could compete with them, and Transcendent ones of Primal Chaos Realm also dared to fight these ordinary Godly Kings.

But those with deep accumulations, who mastered several branches of the Daos and cultivated powerful inheritances successfully, had increasingly unfathomable and unpredictable methods.

Like Morosa, who only needed to see the opponent once to conduct a long-range curse killing, or the Ancestral God of the Snow Realm who, despite being a great demon in the First Realm of Godly King and ranking within the top ten in sins in the Land of Origin, simply could not die.

You should know that like the founder of the Heartshadow Sect and the third generation spiritual masters from the Duan Dong River lineage, many ordinary Godly Kings have already died over the long course of time. Of course, they might have also been reincarnated.

"No wonder many ancient beings create a stir or even commit towering crimes and still manage to live well," as Luo Feng's strength gradually approached that level, he understood just how troublesome those opponents were.

For example, he himself was difficult to deal with; each of his avatars was formidable, especially the one in Chu Capital! With his master garrisoning Chu Capital, it was incredibly difficult for enemies to kill that particular avatar.

If not all the avatars are destroyed, one could easily cultivate back to full strength.
