Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent-Chapter 300 : Between Life and Death

Chapter 300: Between Life and Death

Boom—

Too ferocious!

Luo Feng tried his best to evade, yet he was still brushed by the enormous body of the Primordial Wildhoof leader.

Just a “brush”!

Yet Luo Feng felt terrifying power crashing through his entire body. His body contained energy reserves more than a thousand times that of a Perfect Divine Body, and with the Heart of Immortality reinforcing it, his defensive capability had surged dramatically.

The secret treasure Heart of Immortality only increased power and other attributes by several times. Some stronger Half-Primordial secret treasures could reach a similar level. But its greatest strength lay in the word “immortality.”

By combining the mysteries of life and destruction, it naturally made survival extremely powerful.

Boom.

After being brushed, Luo Feng was instantly blasted backward. Yet his body remained intact, without any injuries.

The Primordial Wildhoof leader, which had charged fiercely, turned its head slightly and kept staring at Luo Feng.

When it realized Luo Feng had actually withstood that “brush,” excitement appeared in its eyes.

Its hoof claw flashed like lightning and suddenly stomped down.

The hoof carried thunder. At such close range, Luo Feng had no time to react before being struck.

The hoof was enormous.

Compared to it, Luo Feng appeared tiny.

Bang!

The stomp was more than ten times fiercer than the earlier brush. The terrifying might even shocked Luo Feng. His Immortal Blood Sea Body could no longer maintain its physical form under such force.

Under that stomp, Luo Feng could only explode along with the force, transforming into an endless Blood Sea.

Only by dispersing into the Blood Sea could he dissipate as much of that terrifying force as possible.

“The stomp of a Primordial Wildhoof… even with the Heart of Immortality reinforcing me, I still can’t withstand it.”

Although Luo Feng was shocked, it was within expectations.

This race was called the Primordial Wildhoof precisely because its stomp was its most terrifying attack.

With one of the most powerful bodies among creatures of the same level, the Primordial Wildhoof’s stomp reached an unbelievable level of power.

A Late-Stage God Emperor Primordial Wildhoof could produce stomp power comparable to the threshold of a Complete God Emperor Comprehender.

What about a Complete God Emperor?

Such a stomp would shatter the Immortal Blood Sea Body, making it impossible to maintain a physical form.

With Luo Feng’s strength, plus the Heart of Immortality and the World-in-Palm, encountering a Complete God Emperor Low-Rank Primordial Lifeform should normally still allow him to escape even if he couldn’t defeat it.

Unfortunately…

He encountered the Primordial Wildhoof leader.

“It actually withstood one of my stomps?”

The Primordial Wildhoof leader was surprised.

In Rainlan City, only the Three Hall Masters could fight it head-on.

Ordinary Elders wouldn’t dare confront it directly—they could only rely on various secret techniques to escape.

The vast Blood Sea surged. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Inside the Blood Sea, both the Heart of Immortality and the Profound Azure Heaven Annihilation Formation Diagram reinforced it, making its defensive resilience extremely strong.

“With the vast size and toughness of my Immortal Blood Sea Body… that single stomp still consumed two percent of my energy reserves?”

Luo Feng was shocked.

Whoosh.

Even while shocked, Luo Feng counterattacked.

A furry claw suddenly stretched out from the Blood Sea.

Without any warning.

The moment it appeared, it was already beneath the belly of the Primordial Wildhoof leader.

“Split!”

With his full understanding of life and death, Luo Feng unleashed the killing move of the innate treasure World-in-Palm.

He did not attempt suppression.

He knew suppression was impossible.

Instead, he unleashed the claw’s tearing and destructive power.

The claw was incredibly sharp.

With the power of the Immortal Blood Sea Body reinforcing it, and with the secret patterns of the claw activated—

This was the strongest attack Luo Feng could unleash.

He even believed this strike might threaten a Half-Primordial powerhouse.

The claw burst from the Blood Sea.

Too sudden.

Too fast.

The massive Primordial Wildhoof leader had no time to dodge—or perhaps it simply disdained dodging.

Rip—

Luo Feng felt the five blade-like claws pierce into the pale white scales beneath the creature’s belly.

Those scales layered upon each other.

Based on the corpse materials recorded in the Jiugang Holy Realm, Primordial Wildhoofs usually had hundreds of layers of scales covering their bodies.

Hiss.

Luo Feng’s full-power strike barely pierced in.

It only penetrated two layers.

“Hundreds of scale layers… and my full power only pierced two?”

At this moment, Luo Feng finally understood what it meant for a race to possess one of the strongest bodies among Low-Rank Primordial Lifeforms.

“Hm?”

The Primordial Wildhoof leader was slightly surprised.

The outer scales showed faint cracks.

Lightning flowed across its body.

The cracks immediately healed.

“Roar!!!”

The Primordial Wildhoof leader suddenly roared.

That roar—

Like thunder exploding across the heavens.

The sound waves swept in all directions.

The endless Blood Sea churned violently, and even portions of the outer Blood Sea were destroyed.

The roar also struck Luo Feng’s mental will.

However, after his Path of Life and Death reached Early-Stage God Emperor, Luo Feng’s mental will naturally rose to the Complete God Emperor level.

Although it had not reached the ultimate limit before escaping the Prison Cage, it was still extremely powerful.

With the Lieu Yuan Technique and the Heart of Immortality protecting him, he could withstand the roar.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

While roaring, the Primordial Wildhoof leader charged wildly.

Each hoof stomped fiercely upon the Blood Sea.

Although these stomps were weaker than the initial charged strike—about fifty to sixty percent of its power—they were continuous.

Rumble—

The surrounding world shook violently and began cracking.

The sealing secret pattern projections of the Jiugang Holy Realm appeared in the sky.

Under the Primordial Wildhoof leader’s rampage and repeated stomps, Luo Feng’s Blood Sea energy was rapidly consumed.

Within a few breaths, thirty percent was gone.

“Blood Sea Heaven and Earth!”

Suddenly, the entire Blood Sea erupted in power.

A crimson haze enveloped heaven and earth.

The directions of heaven and earth became indistinguishable.

This blood-red world was evolving into the Profound Azure Heaven.

The Primordial Wildhoof leader was trapped within it and could no longer see outside.

“Run!”

The moment Luo Feng used part of the Blood Sea to form the Profound Azure Heaven and trap the Primordial Wildhoof leader—

He immediately created three clones.

The three clones each unleashed secret techniques and fled in different directions at maximum speed.

“Hmph!”

The Primordial Wildhoof leader snorted coldly.

Its body suddenly expanded to an enormous size—nearly half the size of the Profound Azure Heaven.

The two blade-like horns on its head swung.

Rip—

Everything was sliced apart.

The Profound Azure Heaven shattered.

The Primordial Wildhoof leader’s gaze pierced through the void and instantly locked onto the three fleeing clones.

“Running?”

The Primordial Wildhoof leader was furious.

Boom!!!

Three powerful lightning bolts condensed in the sky.

Each one locked onto a clone.

The lightning struck instantly.

Two clones were annihilated immediately.

Only one clone withstood the lightning and fled even faster.

Whoosh.

That surviving clone suddenly summoned a flying vessel.

Its speed increased dramatically.

The Primordial Wildhoof leader opened its mouth and spewed lightning plasma.

Lightning spread in all directions.

The Blood Sea trapping it was completely destroyed.

That Blood Sea represented about one-tenth of Luo Feng’s total energy reserves.

Yet it was completely annihilated by the Primordial Wildhoof leader’s full-force attack.

Under lightning—

No Blood Sea remained.

“A weaker clone remained.”

The Primordial Wildhoof leader rushed forward and chased the flying vessel.

…

Luo Feng controlled the flying vessel while fleeing rapidly.

Yet the Primordial Wildhoof leader had locked onto his aura.

It chased like lightning.

In just over ten breaths, it caught up.

“I can’t escape.”

Luo Feng looked at the approaching figure.

“Die.”

The Primordial Wildhoof leader’s hoof descended.

“It’s over.”

Luo Feng could only watch helplessly.

…

At the original battlefield where Luo Feng and the Primordial Wildhoof leader first fought, the chaotic world gradually returned to calm.

The energy in the sky slowly settled.

Suddenly—

Endless energy gathered and transformed into the form of a human man.

It was Luo Feng.

With the secret treasure Heart of Immortality, Luo Feng could enter a state called Between Life and Death.

The Heart of Immortality combined the mysteries of life and destruction, granting extraordinary survival abilities.

Cultivators who specialized in the path of life could regenerate even if blasted into nothingness.

Life could reform from the void.

With the Heart of Immortality, Luo Feng went further.

When attacked into nothingness, he allowed more of the Blood Sea to dissolve into the void, letting the energy merge into heaven and earth.

He could maintain this state temporarily.

After some time—

He could reconstruct his life form.

This state of “neither life nor death” was what Luo Feng called Between Life and Death.

In this state, his energy truly became nothingness.

Only his mental consciousness merged with heaven and earth.

This was the weakness.

If the enemy were strong enough to detect his consciousness, they would not be deceived.

However, with the Heart of Immortality, Luo Feng could almost perfectly suppress all life fluctuations.

Neither alive nor dead.

He maintained this state for ten breaths.

Then he reformed his life body from the void.

“I finally deceived that Primordial Wildhoof leader.”

Luo Feng immediately released the Taixu Nether-Pupil Vessel.

In an instant, he drove it into a crack in space.

Its speed was astonishing as it vanished.

The speed of the Taixu Nether-Pupil Vessel was far faster than the Waterdrop Flying Boat used by the other clone.

…

Rip.

After crushing Luo Feng’s clone, the Primordial Wildhoof leader stared at the remaining Waterdrop Flying Boat.

It nudged the vessel and carefully examined it.

Inside—

It was completely empty.

No treasures.

“Only a Late-Stage God Emperor flying vessel… nothing else? Not even the corpses of hunted Low-Rank Primordial Lifeforms?”

At this moment, the Primordial Wildhoof leader realized—

“He escaped!”

“These cultivators are too cunning!”

Among the Elders it had encountered, none could withstand more than a few moves head-on.

Yet with all sorts of strange secret techniques, some of them still managed to escape.
