Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent-Chapter 204: Morosa’s Breakthrough

Luo Feng was studying the materials of the Twenty-Four Phases Form creatures, and could simultaneously sense Morosa’s cultivation state.

“Morosa is absorbing and digesting really slowly this time.” Luo Feng noticed that Morosa spent over a hundred days just absorbing the blood before moving on to consume the flesh and muscles… proceeding with extreme caution and thoroughness.

Over a thousand days later, he devoured every single bone completely.

After consuming all the remains, Morosa opened his enormous blood-red mouth and directly swallowed the billions-of-kilometers-long tail into the “World” inside his body. After this massive gulp, Morosa began his transformation.

He returned to his true form, with snow-white scales appearing on his body. A sacred radiance burst forth from his entire form—this holy light seemed capable of cleansing all.

Even Luo Feng felt his heart tremble from the formless aura.

“Morosa’s body evolved naturally just as he broke through to the Second Stage Divine King?” Luo Feng silently marveled.

For cultivators, even when breaking through a realm, they still needed to comprehend the corresponding secret technique. Like himself—he had to comprehend the "Twenty-Four Phases Form," then obtain the "Twenty-Four Phases Life Materials," and finally rely on his Formless and Phaseless ability to achieve bodily transformation.

But Realm Beasts were perfect lifeforms from birth. Along their path of growth, every aspect evolved perfectly, marching straight toward the ultimate.

Body techniques? Domain techniques? Assassination techniques? All kinds of secret techniques—they naturally comprehended them as they advanced.

“Once he finishes digesting all that, I definitely want to test myself against him.” Luo Feng was quite eager.

“Hmm? That little guy Xinyu broke through too?” Luo Feng sensed that his second disciple, Xinyu, had finally broken through to the Chaos Realm.

Inside the main hall of the Blade River Sect headquarters.

Luo Feng’s registered disciples had already gathered inside the grand hall. As a sect founded by a major overlord of the Origin Continent, the Blade River Sect had only existed for just over a hundred eras. Those qualified to enter the main hall of the headquarters… were only Luo Feng’s personal disciples, registered disciples, and the two elders.

“Senior Brother Xinyu is truly amazing. He entered seclusion and emerged as a Chaos Realm expert.”

“The first Chaos Realm breakthrough since the Blade River Sect was founded.”

The registered disciples were full of both envy and hope, each dreaming of the day they too would reach a breakthrough.

Suddenly, Moyu Qingyan walked in, dressed in his signature cyan robe.

“Senior Brother.”

“Senior Brother.” The registered disciples all greeted him with respect. He was, after all, the master’s first disciple and also the disciple of Elder Luo Sa. His standing in the sect was unshakable.

Moyu Qingyan smiled and nodded, exchanging a few brief words with his junior brothers and sisters.

“Senior Brother, you can still smile!”

“This time, Senior Brother Xinyu became a Chaos Realm expert and is about to become an elder, putting him on equal footing with Elder Luo Sa.”

“In the end, it’s all about one’s own strength. Senior Brother still has some catching up to do.”

Though the registered disciples appeared warm and respectful on the surface, they were well aware of internal changes within the sect. Naturally, more and more disciples placed their faith in Senior Brother Xinyu.

Soon, Xinyu entered, wearing a blue robe. His blade had vanished completely, but as a Chaos Realm being, his life level had already risen immensely.

“Senior Brother Xinyu.”

“Senior Brother Xinyu.”

This time, the registered disciples bowed with even more sincerity and reverence.

“Second Brother.” Moyu Qingyan looked at his junior brother with a warm smile, full of mixed feelings. He had worked incredibly hard, but even with the Bloodline Path, he hadn’t reached the Chaos Realm. Yet his junior brother, following the Path of Laws and wielding an Infinite Divine Body, had already succeeded.

The difference in talent was simply too vast.

Xinyu looked at Moyu Qingyan and replied politely, “Senior Brother.”

“Your breakthrough this time is a great event for the entire Blade River Sect.” Moyu Qingyan said, “You’re the first Chaos Realm expert cultivated by the sect since its founding.”

Xinyu smiled, “There will be more Chaos Realm experts in the Blade River Sect in the future. I merely stepped ahead temporarily, not worth mentioning. With your accumulation, Senior Brother, I believe your breakthrough is not far off either.”

“I’m still far behind.” Moyu Qingyan gave a self-deprecating smile.

As the two personal disciples conversed, the registered disciples listened respectfully from the side.

Suddenly, a formless aura swept over the hall.

“Hmm?”

Moyu Qingyan, Xinyu, and the ten registered disciples all looked up toward the top of the grand hall, where Luo He sat high upon the throne in his silver robe. To his lower left sat Elder Yuan.

“Master!” Moyu Qingyan and Xinyu immediately bowed.

“Master!” The registered disciples followed suit.

These disciples had gone through hardships to join the Blade River Sect. They knew well that in the vast Origin Continent, terrifying ancient existences roamed. Among the many neighboring kingdoms, the Ruler of Shiguo, the Ruler of Yuguo, and City Lord Luo He formed a triad of power!

To become a disciple of City Lord Luo He—what a powerful backer that was.

“Luo Sa is in seclusion and couldn’t come.” Luo Feng looked down and smiled. “Xinyu, for you to achieve Chaos Realm in such a short time shows your outstanding talent. From today on, you shall be the third elder of our Blade River Sect.”

“Yes,” Xinyu responded.

With a wave of his hand—

An entire set of Chaos Realm supreme-grade weapon treasures, a cyan jade bottle, and a black jade bottle all flew toward Xinyu.

“A full set of supreme-grade treasures, one hundred billion Cosmos Sand, and ten auxiliary cultivation treasures,” Luo Feng said calmly.

Xinyu looked at the treasures flying toward him. He could feel the terrifying power of each weapon—each one was likely a top-tier Chaos Realm treasure. The whole set probably cost two to three hundred billion Cosmos Sand! As for the ten auxiliary treasures… they were incredibly rare cultivation wonders, nearly impossible to obtain on the outside. Oddly enough, the hundred billion Cosmos Sand was the most mundane of all.

“Thank you, Master.” Xinyu now felt the true benefit of having a terrifying overlord as his teacher. Even a casual reward was worth more than what he could hope to accumulate in a lifetime of effort.

The other disciples looked on with burning eyes.

Their master was truly generous!

But Luo Feng didn’t think it was that much.

In many border kingdoms, a Chaos Realm being joining could earn a Chaos State as their fiefdom! The value of such a fief far surpassed what Luo Feng had given. Of course, a “Chaos State fief” was a slow and steady source of benefit that bound the Chaos Realm cultivator. If they ever left, they had to return the fief.

What Luo Feng gave, however, was permanent. And as the disciple grew stronger and rendered more merit, he would give even more. This was why cultivators yearned to become disciples of superpowerful masters.

“As Luo Feng’s strength increases, these treasures mean little to him.” Elder Yuan, observing from the side, also benefited! Luo Feng had given him many cultivation treasures suited for Chaos Realm experts, including Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruits and treasures from various Treasure Lands.

Luo Feng fully supported Yuan! After all, Yuan was the second pillar of the human race.

For Xinyu, Luo Feng treated him as he would any personal disciple.

Naturally, the allocation of resources differed. And Luo Feng could sense that Yuan’s talent… was even stronger than Xinyu’s. Yuan now had the power of a peak Chaos Realm cultivator—befitting his status as a Chaos Realm guest elder.

Yuan had drawn from some of the inheritances within the Hall of Inheritances of the Ancient Flame Kingdom, forging his own path. Now, his true body and illusionary clone were indistinguishable—able to exert the exact same power.

But forging a new path was extraordinarily difficult! Yuan did not follow the traditional “Origin Path of the World,” but fused illusion and reality! His illusionary path was self-developed, while the real path was the Origin Path of the World. Their union was the fusion of illusion and reality.

“Forging a new path is just too difficult,” Luo Feng thought as he glanced at Yuan.

He himself had tried to develop the Life-and-Death Path, yet had not managed to comprehend even one branch of it.

Inside Star Tower.

After a full half-era of devouring and absorbing, Morosa finally finished assimilating all the essence from the corpse of the Primordial Bloodline lifeform and halted his cultivation.

“Morosa, how do you feel?” Luo Feng looked at Morosa, who now stood in his true form—his entire body clad in snow-white scales, with even a natural crown formed atop his head.

Morosa stood there, holy light shining outward, exuding a terrifying formless might.

“I feel great,” Morosa said, gazing at Luo Feng. “I think I’m stronger than you now.”

“Haha!”

Luo Feng laughed. “Sounds like you’re asking for a beating.”

“Master, go ahead! I don’t believe you can beat me!” Morosa felt unprecedentedly powerful. His body had evolved, his soul had grown naturally, and his fusion with the Origin Path of Destruction was seamless. His mental will had also advanced, now at the very threshold of the Divine King’s limit.

In every aspect, Morosa felt fearless.

“Let’s test it then,” said Luo Feng, and a silver-clad Luo Feng clone appeared beside him.

Boom!

The silver-clad Luo Feng transformed into a dazzling silver blade light and struck toward Morosa.

Morosa stood there, holy light spreading in all directions. As the silver blade light approached, it grew slower… until it completely froze about ten feet away.

“Master, even your clone can’t touch me.” Morosa smiled. “I’m not like those flawed Second Stage Divine Kings like the Ruler of Shiguo. I have no weaknesses.”

“Domains, energy, physical body, melee… Your clone’s domain can’t even break mine,” Morosa said.

“Interesting,” Luo Feng replied. “Then I’ll go all out.”

Rumble~~~

Suddenly, a colossal figure descended from another layer of the Star Tower—it was an immensely towering silver-clad Luo Feng! His aura was every bit as powerful as Morosa’s, and in his hand was a massive Bloodshadow Blade.

“Now this is interesting.” Morosa looked up at the towering Luo Feng and grinned. “Come on, I’ll give you three moves!”

Morosa was supremely confident. From absorbing the Primordial Bloodline lifeform, he had gained much. He had naturally comprehended many secret techniques of the Second Stage Divine King level! He felt he could fend off his master’s attacks with ease.

“You’ll let me go first?” This body of Luo Feng’s was one-third of a World Life Form! Operating such a body placed immense mental strain on him.

But merely activating the techniques imprinted on the Bloodshadow Blade was still within his capability—this was Luo Feng’s strongest form short of using the Star Tower.

Morosa stood there nonchalantly, allowing Luo Feng to attack.

Boom!

Luo Feng slashed. The blade light burst forth, dazzling and blinding—even Morosa felt his vision blur.

An incredibly radiant strike! It carried the entirety of this towering World Life Form’s power and exploded with it. This wave of overwhelming might swept forward like the immense pressure of the Lieu Yuan Technique’s starry crush.

Sensing this, Morosa knew he had already been hit.

Invisible forces seeped into his body. By the time he realized he had been struck, the overwhelming pressure was already upon him—inescapable. It crushed his body, corroding, slicing, grinding, and annihilating it… All kinds of destructive powers fused as one, ravaging his form.

“Master truly is formidable. Even at the First Stage Divine King, you can unleash such power—it’s terrifying!” Morosa was nearly entirely crushed—99% of his body destroyed. Yet formless energies were already gathering, and a hazy figure said, “But Master, I’m a Realm Beast. You think you can kill me with Origin Path of Destruction techniques? It’s not that easy.”

In an instant, Morosa fully regenerated. The holy radiance once again shone brightly, completely unscathed.

“Two more moves,” Morosa smiled at Luo Feng. “Bring it on.”
