Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Chapter 438: Chapter 19: The Primordial Blade Path Takes Shape

The endless, vast Blood Sea floats alone, and this enormous mysterious land now has only one creature—Luo Feng! As for the submitted Blood Crane Territory Clan, they have all been dispatched to serve the Cultivator Camp.

In the Blood Sea, an island condenses, and on the island are some rare trees and plants.

Luo Feng sits alone, drinking a fine brewed wine. As a lord, his demand for ’external things’ is very low, and some resources are specifically used for brewing wine and making gourmet food.

“Three millennia, and I’ve encountered a bottleneck.” Luo Feng drinks his wine and suddenly feels something, gazing afar.

His gaze penetrates through endless time and space to a very remote place from the Cultivator Territory, where there is a Source World.

The creatures of that Source World cultivate without any guiding inheritance, relying entirely on their exploration, making it countless times more difficult than the Source Worlds within the Cultivator Territory. They frequently face being devoured by World-level Primordial or even ’Ancestors’. Even innate primordials like to devour the creatures within Source Worlds.

In such a harsh environment, the Source World currently has a creature, who has cultivated to the Ultimate Realm of the Godly King, breaking through the ’Source World Membrane Wall’ with a secret technique, and temporarily staying outside the Source World, curiously observing the scene of the Infinite Primordial Space.

“Is this the world beyond?” The creature is very curious.

In his home Source World, he is absolutely invincible. Because there is no complete cultivation system, other than him, no other creature can explore to the Godly King Tier.

He is the pathfinder of this world!

“Beyond the Cultivator Territory is a place full of tribulations. You can summarize a cultivation system and achieve the Ultimate Realm of the Godly King; it’s indeed impressive.” A wave appears next to him, it is Lord Mo Man, “Come with me, little one.”

Lord Mo Man directly guides this little being.

Luo Feng watches from afar.

Mo Man transforms into countless waves, spreading across the Infinite Primordial Space, and occasionally brings back extraordinary talents from countless Source Worlds outside the Cultivator Territory. Starlight Lord observes past, present, and future, and once discovering talented ones, he also goes to guide them.

The task of guiding talented cultivators outside the Cultivator Territory mainly falls on Mo Man and Starlight.

What they can do is only this much! Even the lords can’t protect all Source Worlds.

“Outside the Cultivator Territory, there’s an even vaster range… the countless Source Worlds and creatures there are truly living in the Nightmare World.” Luo Feng is very aware of this but feels powerless.

The Three Thousand Six Hundred World Groups are just a small area in the Infinite Primordial Space.

Because this area’s world group is dense, resources are dense, the Cultivator Camp fully protects it.

In fact, given the vastness of the Infinite Primordial Space… even if the world’s groups in other regions are sparse, their cumulative total amount is still much more than the Three Thousand Six Hundred World Groups.

“Why only the Innate Primordial Camp wars with us, while other forces aren’t as hostile? It’s because there’s still much vaster areas with many world groups providing food for those innate primordials.” Luo Feng’s eyes hold coldness.

The rules of this Infinite Primordial Space operate too cruelly for cultivators!

He admits, the individual strength of a lord is immense.

But among the countless Source Worlds’ creatures, how many can break out of the cage?

Without breaking out of the cage, the countless creatures of the Source Worlds have no capacity to resist against the innate primordials! Even the Source World Origin will be devoured by World-level Primordials and even Ancestors.

“Without lordly protection, those Source Worlds are repeatedly devoured, and even the eating speed must be planned.” Luo Feng’s gaze penetrates various time-spaces, and he can see many nightmare-like scenes if he chooses to look.

Whether it’s the Innate Primordial Camp, the Ice Peak Camp, or other weaker forces! Primordials born are part of their food range.

Of course, the food at the level of Source World Origin can only be enjoyed by World-level Primordials or Ancestors.

“The Cultivator Territory is peaceful, but what about outside the territory?” Luo Feng easily sees world-level primordial devouring one Source World after another, and the creatures within Source Worlds are exterminated.

Every moment, countless creatures face extinction.

“Yet I can do nothing.” Even as a lord, what he can do remains limited.

The distances are too far; reaching many areas would take hundreds of days or even longer at his speed.

If he merely sends a thought over long distances, he cannot rival a world-level primordial.

“Only eight lords guarding 3,600 World Groups, and they already face wars.”

“If we want to protect all Source Worlds in the Infinite Primordial Space… I’m afraid all foreign forces would unite.” Luo Feng understands this, innate primordial camp, Ice Peak Camp, and numerous weak forces would probably join forces!

Numerous undying beings and a larger number of Ancestors would quickly crush the entire Cultivator Camp.

“Still too weak!”

Luo Feng is confident, but currently, among the eight lords, he isn’t sure he ranks third. In the Infinite Primordial Space, he isn’t sure he is in the top ten.

“Primordial Blade Path!”

Luo Feng frowns, “With my current comprehension, insight, and thinking speed, in three millennia, I have already understood ninety percent of the ’Primordial Blade Path’, and have a clear prototype, but I’ve encountered a bottleneck.”

In fact, it’s already much faster than Wulan, Jin, Ming Huang, etc. people.

Three millennia of continuous progress form a clear framework! A complete prototype!

Yet, there was still a bottleneck obstructing me!

“My Primordial Blade Path consists of approximately 87% Destruction and 13% Life, fused together.”

The small integration of the life system mainly involves aspects such as ’Life Qi Mechanism Lock’, ’Life-cutting’, ’Life Entanglement’, etc.

When it comes to locking onto a target,

Destruction also has ’Killing Intent Lock’, and when merged with ’Life Qi Mechanism Lock’, the ability to lock onto enemies naturally reaches a very high level.

Luo Feng’s Primordial Blade Path is all about ’locking onto the enemy’ and pursuing various destruction techniques, the stronger, the better!

“Yet my Primordial Blade Path still lacks something to form a perfect whole.” Luo Feng was quite vexed, “The deficiency should be the accumulation in the area of ’Destruction’.

Luo Feng once thought the accumulation in Destruction was deep enough since he had comprehended all the high-level Primordial materials, world-level Primordial materials, and Ancestor-level materials accumulated by the Cultivator Camp.

He also reviewed the heritages of the other seven lords. Jin’s heritage focused on ’Destruction’, but Jin’s personality… made his path incompatible with Luo Feng, who could only extract parts of the information.

Having previously grasped the Primordial Life and Death Dao! At that time, the accumulation in Destruction was sufficient.

But now, focusing on Destruction, the accumulation is no longer enough.

“The Sky Splitting Saber originates from the ’Abyss of Destruction’.” Luo Feng turned his hand to look at the saber in his hand, “Across the entire Infinite Primordial Space, the Abyss of Destruction undoubtedly contains the most ’Destruction Power’.

The Abyss of Destruction is the highest tier mysterious land!

Like the Land of Eternity and Fire Prison Wall, they are all recognized by various powers of the Infinite Primordial Space as the highest tier and are seen as places where the hope of refining and control is unseen, and even the origins of these places cannot be found.

The Abyss of Destruction contains every known and unknown Destruction Power!

“The Abyss of Destruction is like a bottomless abyss.”

“From the outermost first layer of the Destruction World, one can continuously delve into the second layer, third layer…”

“It is necessary to kill through all obstacles in a layer and imprint one’s life mark onto the ’origin phantom’ of that layer to become the master of that layer of the Destruction World.” Luo Feng had long known the detailed information of the Source of Destruction.

In fact, almost every Ancestor in the Infinite Primordial Space has explored the Abyss of Destruction.

How is the true combat strength of these ancient beings in Infinite Primordial Space, ranked in the top ten, top twenty, top thirty, determined?

It mainly depends on their performance in the Abyss of Destruction!

Up till now, the deepest layer reached in the Abyss of Destruction is by the Ice Peak Camp’s ’Sha Zhou’, and she is the master of the twenty-seventh layer of the Destruction World!

The Starlight Lord is the master of the twenty-sixth layer of the Destruction World!

The reason why Starlight is one layer behind is that Sha Zhou rose to dominance too long ago, taking the twenty-seventh layer first, thus using terrain to block Starlight from breaking her obstacles and refining the twenty-seventh layer.

Starlight has also tried, but could not kill through the twenty-eighth layer of the Destruction World! This shows that the capabilities of Starlight and Sha Zhou in Destruction are nearly indistinguishable.

They are also recognized as the top two in strength in the Infinite Primordial Space.

Weaker than them is the master of the twenty-second layer of the Destruction World, ’Demon Ruins’. As for the twenty-third to twenty-fifth layers of the Destruction World, they are unclaimed! This also represents that the Starlight Lord and Sha Zhou are clearly stronger than the other beings.

The twenty-second layer to the first layer, all have masters! From this, their strength can be judged to some extent.

Aside from the new lord Luo Feng, the other seven lords each have an avatar occupying a layer in the Abyss of Destruction.

Yuan is in the nineteenth layer of the Destruction World.

Mo Man is in the thirteenth layer of the Destruction World.

Jin is in the twelfth layer of the Destruction World.

Ming Huang is in the eleventh layer of the Destruction World.

Nai Gu is in the ninth layer.

Wulan is in the seventh layer.

Thanks to their performance in the Abyss of Destruction, Starlight is acknowledged as having one of the top two strengths, Yuan is acknowledged within the top ten of the Infinite Primordial Space, and the other lords are all stable within the top twenty strengths.

But this ranking has a flaw; it’s not very friendly to those who excel in survival. For example, the ’Initial Ancestor’, with the strongest defense, has a rather mediocre kill ability, and couldn’t even take the first layer of the Destruction World. Wulan, the Cultivator Lord, although slower in speed and clumsier with techniques, wields enormously powerful moves, allowing him to occupy the seventh layer.

Yet all sides know, at critical moments, beings like Initial, Wulan, and Luo Feng, who specialize in defense and life, might play a bigger role.

The Abyss of Destruction proves only one’s ability to kill enemies.

“The Abyss of Destruction contains all known and unknown Destruction Power.” Luo Feng stood within the Blood Crane Territory, clad in black, draped with a blood-red robe, “Go to the Abyss of Destruction, continue to enhance my accumulation in ’Destruction’, hoping it helps me to break through the bottleneck and fully master the Primordial Blade Path!”

Carrying the Sky Splitting Saber, this avatar of Luo Feng, the main battle avatar, stepped forth out of the Blood Crane Territory and headed towards the Abyss of Destruction.
