Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

“`

The Thunder Ancestor sat on the ground, his gaze cold and deep.

“He can spy on my secluded and slumbering place, and even transmit sound?” Thunder Ancestor pondered.

“Flame Wind.”

Thunder Ancestor used the transmission token to transmit sound from afar, “How much do you know about the Galaxy Ruler?”

“What happened?” Primogenitor Yan Feng asked in confusion through the transmission, “I haven’t dealt with the Galaxy Ruler. The information I know is the same public information that you know.”

“Just now, he directly transmitted sound to my secluded and slumbering place,” Thunder Ancestor said solemnly.

Primogenitor Yan Feng was also astonished after hearing this.

When venturing outside the Source World, they needed to confront the powerful from billions of worlds and battle many low-level Primordial Lifeforms. Therefore, they took the safety of their residence very seriously. There was naturally a lot for sale, like cave mansion secret treasures and various protective formations.

Whether it was Primogenitor Yan Feng or Thunder Ancestor, they were undoubtedly cautious in guarding their secluded and slumbering places.

“We can be sure he hasn’t jumped out of the Braided Cage,” Thunder Ancestor said in a low voice, “So, making this move, he must have obtained some extremely powerful secret treasure.”

“You mean… truly top-tier secret treasures in Infinite Space?” Primogenitor Yan Feng also guessed.

The Infinite Space Treasure Vault, with treasures valued at at least one hundred thousand reward points, was also renowned outside the Source World! Many ‘Half Primordial Life’ beings purchase such treasures regardless of cost.

But such treasures are very hard to obtain.

Like Emperor Ming, who amassed over 110,000 reward points through outstanding performance in spiritual will. However, the Great Dao Realm is fundamental! Emperor Ming did not hesitate to exchange for some inheritances most suited for himself. Therefore, the remaining reward points were insufficient to trade for a ‘secret treasure worth at least 100,000 reward points.’

For Emperor Ming himself, this was the most suitable choice.

His ‘Dao comprehension’ was rather weak. Under the guidance of a special-grade inheritance, with the help of the Imperial Clan’s resources, and under super strong spiritual will, he could not comprehend a complete Great Dao. So he chose Primordial Bloodline cultivation; tapping into the potential of the Primordial Bloodline was much easier than understanding the Great Dao. Although Emperor Ming did not become Ultimate Realm, he could even kill most Emperors and Monarchs in one-on-one situations.

Thunder Ancestor initially only amassed several tens of thousands of reward points.

Primogenitor Yan Feng barely exceeded 100,000 reward points. But similarly, he spent quite a lot on inheritance.

Luo Feng, having accumulated over 200,000 reward points, exchanged for an ‘Eye of Life and Death.’

“The truly top-tier secret treasures of Infinite Space are said to be prohibited from being taken out of the Source World,” Primogenitor Yan Feng transmitted, “The few that can be taken out, those cultivators generally do not carry them.”

“Those that can be traded outside are generally secret treasures worth several tens of thousands of reward points. Those over 100,000 reward points are very few. Even if there were transactions, we wouldn’t be in line.”

Looking at the many Source Worlds and billions of worlds, where experts from all sides gather, Primogenitor Yan Feng and Thunder Ancestor appear ordinary.

“Yes, such treasures are generally prohibited from being taken out of the Source World. Within the Source World, we cannot do anything to this Galaxy Ruler.” Thunder Ancestor’s heart itched; he was genuinely envious.

Compared to the special life remnants and the original secret techniques, the Infinite Space with ‘at least 100,000 reward points’ treasures is the most special.

Over multiple eras, it’s rare for even one to emerge.

“Since he dares to publicly display this means, he’s not afraid of us targeting him,” Primogenitor Yan Feng said, “I guess… he simply cannot take this treasure out.”

“Hmm.” Thunder Ancestor agreed with his friend’s speculation.

“Why is he looking for you?” Primogenitor Yan Feng asked.

“It’s about White Demon and Lan Duo,” Thunder Ancestor simply explained the matter.

Primogenitor Yan Feng understood: “It’s said the Galaxy Ruler detests evil like a nemesis. It’s true. He might want to kill White Demon and Lan Duo, but since they are both on Mt. Leiting and the Galaxy Ruler can’t kill them, he asks you to deal with it.”

“Me to deal with it?” Thunder Ancestor listened, “He can’t kill them, so I should?”

“The decision is yours,” Primogenitor Yan Feng transmitted, “If you kill them, he might owe you a favor. If you don’t… this Galaxy Ruler, detesting evil, probably won’t let it go.”

Thunder Ancestor laughed, “You’re right; the decision is mine!”

…

Mt. Leiting, within the ancient great hall.

“Ancestor.”

Eight Monarchs respectfully knelt down, not daring to look up at the one above.

Thunder Ancestor looked down with a cold gaze.

Towards the Galaxy Ruler, he had fear, anger, dissatisfaction, and jealousy. But facing these kneeling Monarchs, he couldn’t muster any emotions.

“White Demon, Lan Duo, do you two acknowledge your sins?” Thunder Ancestor spoke indifferently.

White Demon Monarch and Lan Duo Monarch trembled inside upon hearing.

They were dumbfounded.

The reason they dared to plunder within the Thunder Ancient Country’s borders was that they understood the Ancestor’s temperament well! The Ancestor was aloof, not caring much even about these Monarchs. As for the death of ordinary Royal Family God Kings, Thunder Ancestor cared even less.

As long as it didn’t affect the entire ancient country’s operation, the Ancestor was too lazy to bother.

The creatures they plundered amounted to about one-twentieth of the wilderness. Over time, it could naturally repopulate.

“Acknowledge the sins!”

White Demon Monarch and Lan Duo Monarch, though having many thoughts, responded respectfully without hesitation, not daring to rebut.

A rebuttal might instantly turn them to ashes. Worse consequences than plundering countless creatures.

“Since you acknowledge, from today on, you two shall go to the Heavenly Pillar Realm. Either obtain a special life remnant or an innate secret treasure,” Thunder Ancestor said indifferently, “If you fail, perish with the Land of Origin.”

White Demon and Lan Duo were stunned.

What?

Fail to get treasures, and they must die?

Even if they choose to reincarnate, when the Land of Origin faces destruction, they’ll still die.

“Yes.” White Demon and Lan Duo, painfully unwilling, could only obey.

Thunder Ancestor cast a cold glance at them and then vanished from the throne.

These two Monarchs were excellent tools cultivated by him, how could he easily waste them? Naturally, he pressed them for their abilities. Obtaining a special life remnant is a big gain! An innate secret treasure would be a small gain.

“White Demon, Lan Duo, plundering in the Edge Kingdom is one thing, but plundering within our ancient country… Now the Ancestor has severely punished; you should properly atone!”

“You two, too presumptuous.”

The other Monarchs showed no sympathy.

White Demon and Lan Duo didn’t say a word, turning to leave the hall.

…

Huyang City, the quiet room of the city lord’s mansion, inside the Star Tower.

On Luo Feng’s brow, the ‘Eye of Life and Death’ opened, watching Mt. Leiting from afar.

Under his observation.

He could see past moments. Past moments’ ‘worlds’ seemed to create a continuous massive video, which Luo Feng could easily observe.

Like a trace left in flight!

All past experiences are imprinted in time and space. The stronger the power, the better the self-concealment. Generally, mastering the complete Great Dao can perfectly hide oneself.

However, Luo Feng’s Eye of Life and Death was the observational ability of a high-level Primordial Life outside the Braided Cage.

Even the Thunder Ancestor and Primogenitor Yan Feng, Luo Feng could glimpse some traces. Of course, their communication through transmission tokens couldn’t be spied by Luo Feng.

“Hmm?”

Luo Feng, observing past moments, easily discovered the scene where in the grand hall at the peak of Mt. Leiting, Thunder Ancestor summoned the Monarchs.

“Sending them to the Heavenly Pillar Realm, forcing them to obtain a special life remnant, or innate secret treasure?” Luo Feng frowned, “As for their subordinates, not a single one was punished?”

Having reviewed Old Star God King’s memories before, he saw many memories where countless creatures were given to Lan Duo Monarch.

Lan Duo Monarch’s mouth would immediately consume countless creatures.

Those scenes had long stimulated Luo Feng to murderous intent.

He had already decided!

To kill those two! But under Mt. Leiting’s protection, under Thunder Ancestor’s shelter, he was also very troubled. So he contacted Thunder Ancestor.

“I displayed some special means, yet the Thunder Ancestor still didn’t take it seriously,” Luo Feng shook his head lightly, “Forget it, relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself. It’s better to do it myself.”

“Doing it myself, although there’s no guarantee.”

“But, I have to try!”

For the countless creatures swallowed.

So that strong ones in the Land of Origin won’t dare to recklessly consume creatures in the future.

Luo Feng decided to go all out this time!

…

Whew! Whew!

Two figures traversed a long distance, arriving at one entrance of the treasured location ‘Heavenly Pillar Realm.’

“All because of you,” Lan Duo Monarch said angrily, “under your instigation, I worked with you, and who would have thought it would make the Ancestor so furious this time.”

“You benefited, and now you blame me?” White Demon Monarch sneered, “At least you, Lan Duo Monarch, have an avatar on Mt. Leiting. I have none, and I have to venture to the depths of the Heavenly Pillar Realm with my true body.”

“Once the Land of Origin is dead, if I don’t get treasures, I’ll die as well?” Lan Duo Monarch was very unwilling.

As Monarchs, they could leave the Land of Origin and explore outside initially.

“Nobody forced you to plunder countless creatures, to swallow countless creatures,” White Demon Monarch showed disdain.

They continued talking as they entered the Heavenly Pillar Realm entrance.

At the entrance of the Heavenly Pillar Realm, both ancient countries had stationed guardians; the one from Flame Wind Ancient Country… was Luo Feng.

“That’s Luo He God King,” White Demon Monarch and Lan Duo Monarch glanced at Luo Feng in the distance, unwilling to say more. Their mood was bad at the moment.

Whoosh.

The two Monarchs flew into the depths of the Heavenly Pillar Realm.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged, responsible for guarding, merely glancing at the two Monarchs: “Finally, they arrived!”

At the same moment—

Huyang City.

“They’ve entered the Heavenly Pillar Realm.” Luo Feng’s brow Eye of Life and Death watched from afar.

Swish!

With a step.

The first step took Luo Feng to the entrance of the Heavenly Pillar Realm.

The second step, Luo Feng explosively forced through the formations of the two ancient countries, already appearing in front of White Demon Monarch and Lan Duo Monarch.

“Hmm?” White Demon Monarch and Lan Duo Monarch were startled, seeing a silver-robed, gold-masked figure appear ahead, causing a chill in their hearts.
