Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Chapter 483: Chapter 18: Targeting Yuan

In a void within the Southern River Territory, a palace floats in the air, where the main battle avatars of eight Lords patiently await.

In one area of the grand palace, Luo Feng and Jin are drinking together.

“The many Ancestors of the two camps are gathering,” Jin said while holding his wine cup. The gathering of the Ancestors could hardly be hidden from the eight Lords.

“The forces of the two camps have allied against our Cultivator Camp,” Luo Feng nodded as well, “This is our greatest enemy; once we defeat them, we can hope to permanently command all Source Worlds.”

“To permanently command all Source Worlds…” Jin murmured, “I never thought that one day our Cultivator Camp could truly protect all the cultivators.”

Jin smiled at Luo Feng: “Luo Feng, when I became a Lord, there were only Brother Yuan and me in the Cultivator Camp! Back then, we were much weaker, and the survival environment was very harsh; over ninety percent of the territorial Source World creatures were food, we did not dare oppose them.”

“Brother Yuan tried every means to cultivate the younger generation.”

“I also tried to select sufficiently outstanding successors,” Jin looked at Luo Feng, “Throughout the Endless Primordial Space, all others are Ancestors; only Brother Yuan and I are cultivated from Source World creatures! Do you know that feeling?”

Luo Feng could understand.

Even now, Cultivator Lords and Ancestors feel different from each other. Only now, with eight Lords and enough strength… all parties must take caution.

“Brother Yuan clings to the Ice Peak Camp, which I actually disdain, as an Undying and Undying existence; I disdain flattering the Ice Peak Camp,” Jin said, “But Brother Yuan persistently flatters them, and dragged me with him to charge into battle for the Ice Peak Camp! By leveraging the Ice Peak Camp, the territories we command could be larger, and we can be less disturbed.”

“But even so, Mo Man still continuously devours the souls of Source World creatures. The Infinite Great Serpent Clan still continuously devours, what can we do?”

“With just Brother Yuan and me, two Lords only, how could we provoke the largest group of Innate Primordial Life—the Infinite Great Serpent Clan?”

“I want to tear them apart.”

“But Brother Yuan won’t allow it; once torn apart, subordinate territories would be completely destroyed in short time, and we have no way to enter the ’Infinite World’; tearing apart, we suffer more losses!”

Jin said, “Endure, make friends! Brother Yuan has quite a lot of friends. Like the twelve Immortal existences of the Ice Peak Camp… in terms of influence, Ice Peak Ancestor ranks first. While Brother Yuan in terms of influence comes second.”

“Someone who hasn’t joined the Ice Peak Camp, yet his influence follows right after Ice Peak Ancestor,” Jin sighed, “My lousy temperament falls short, I don’t have any friends in the Ice Peak Camp!”

“What I can do is try to cultivate successors! No matter the method, as long as it can produce a Lord, it’s the best method,” Jin looked at Luo Feng, “Luo Feng, although I don’t agree with some of your ideas… yet, I admire you a lot!”

“Because you, changed the entire Cultivator Camp, and even gave us the opportunity to command all Source Worlds.”

Jin looked at Luo Feng.

Not agreeing with Luo Feng, but he cherishes the law of the jungle! Luo Feng is the ’strongest’! A great help in enhancing companion strength, the entire camp completely transformed with Luo Feng’s breakthroughs.

“Because of the accumulation of you seven predecessors, there is now such transformation,” Luo Feng said.

The deterrence of the Cultivator Camp relies on the eight Lords! Just with oneself, it is far from enough.

“Haha…” Jin raised his cup.

Luo Feng also raised his cup.

Although the two have differing ideologies, the ability to command all Source Worlds, from this point onwards, Source World creatures no longer become food! It is the pursuit of every Lord’s goal.

The large-scale devouring of Source World creatures is a disgrace to every Lord!

…

Yuan and Starlight also sat together.

“Mo Man is rapidly restoring his strength within the Infinite World,” Starlight said, “I can clearly sense him becoming quickly powerful, yet he hides in the Infinite World; I have no means.”

The Infinite World gathers numerous Ancestors, plus holds the advantage of the Mysterious Land, it’s difficult to attack.

When they come out, then it’s good to wage war!

“For us to command all Source Worlds, Mo Man surely can’t endure,” Yuan said calmly, “He has long been our mortal enemy.”

“Mo Man is the strongest existence on the Soul Path within the Endless Primordial Space,” Starlight seriously reminded, “Once he has a group of Ancestors proficient in souls to assist him, the threat will be terrifying.”

Souls are the foundation of life.

Every Lord knows this. Only ’Soul Path’ cultivation remains extremely difficult, as there is no Great Dao to reference, the difficulty far surpasses other paths, no creature has reached the Ultimate Realm of God King on the Soul Path so far.

“Mo Man has fought with us too long, he knows you quite well,” Starlight said, “You and Luo Feng are the two key points of our entire camp, yet Mo Man knows little about Luo Feng; Luo Feng has even occupied the 34th layer of the Abyss of Destruction! Mo Man should not have confidence to deal with Luo Feng… According to my deductions, there is over ninety percent chance he will come at you.”

Yuan slightly smiled: “Rest assured.”

“He united with a group of Ancestors proficient in souls, these soul-type techniques, the power is unpredictable,” Starlight worried.

Yuan gazed into the endless void, calmly saying: “For this day, I have waited too long. No one can stop me!”

Starlight looked on.

Yuan gazed at Starlight, grinning: “Relax, trust me, they will smash here bloodily!”

Starlight slightly nodded.

…

The eight Lords sensed the aura fluctuations of those Ancestors, and they patiently awaited.

Time passed.

Throughout the entire Endless Primordial Space, ancient existences awaited the imminent outbreak of this battle; the outcome of this battle shall determine the fate of countless Source Worlds.

“They’re coming.”

Yuan, Jin, Wulan, Ming Huang, Nai Gu, Starlight, Mo Man, Luo Feng, the eight of them stood in the void, silently watching ahead.

Rumble~~~~

Ahead, the void naturally cracked open, as if the curtain of time and space had been drawn, a total of eighty-two terrifying figures simultaneously descended.

Of these eighty-two figures, leading them were the Infinite Snake Ancestor, Ice Peak Ancestor, Sha Zhou, Infinite Ancestor, Mogus, and other fourteen undying and immortal beings, along with sixty-eight other selected Ancestors.

It should be known…

Now in the Land of Eternity, there are only thirty members in total. The two sides participating in this battle have as many as 22.

“Brother Yuan!” Among them, the Ice Peak Ancestor said coldly, “We’ve known each other long enough, never thought it would come to this. All of this is because you are too domineering! We, Innate Primordial Life, devour the Source World; that’s our nature! Yet you forcibly seize all Source Worlds, which is an insult to all of our Ancestors!”

Yuan looked at the Ice Peak Ancestor, then at Sha Zhou beside him. Sha Zhou, in gray clothes, stood there, his gaze devoid of any fluctuation.

“I can understand your need to consume the Source World.” Yuan nodded indifferently, “But we are Cultivators, as long as we have the ability, we naturally resist. We Cultivators ask for little, just to survive and reproduce. We have already promised… as long as you don’t consume the Source World, we will never expand. Yet even so, you still refuse! Then, there can only be one battle!”

The two sides looked at each other.

On one side, 82 Ancestors, slightly fewer than the 89 Ancestors sent by the Innate Primordial Camp last time, yet the overall strength is more powerful! There are nine more undying and immortal existences, and they have even invited some extremely strong Ancestors from weaker forces at any cost.

On the other side, there are eight Cultivator Lords, the weakest of them can be ranked in the top twenty in power.

“Since there is no agreement, let’s rely on strength.” The Infinite Snake Ancestor’s gaze was ice cold.

As soon as the words fell, the 82 Ancestors had already started to attack.

There are various protective life-saving arrays, among which the Three Emperors of Wind Thunder Sea are also members of the formation. Although their frontal combat strength is at the bottom among ’undying and immortal’, their life-saving and protective capabilities are extremely strong, apart from the ’Lord Mo Man’ and a few others who can restrain them, most of the Ancestors have no way to deal with them. Even Lord Mo Man can only temporarily destroy their bodies; they are still eternally alive, able to reunite their bodies.

Especially at this moment, the three of them are just a part of the formation, and with a large group of Ancestors setting up the formation together. This formation’s thickness is naturally terrifying.

“Rumble~~~~”

In the midst of sky-covering attacks, Mogus also led the Silent Extinction Ancestor, Thousand Eyes Ancestor, Star Luo Ancestor, Myriad Touch Dragon Mother, Nightmare Ancestor, Dream Weaver in launching a joint attack. On the Soul Path, Mogus is unparalleled, the remaining six are second only to it! The seven have never joined forces over the long ages.

This time, under the intimidation of the eight Lords, the seven Ancestors from two camps and weaker forces jointly attacked.

“Buzz.”

The soul technique, silent and unstoppable, has already enveloped Yuan.

This move targets Yuan alone.

“Hmm?” Yuan, who was originally presiding over the battle array, had perfectly coordinated the power of the other seven Lords to counter enemy attacks. But upon being hit, Yuan stood there dazedly, completely abandoning control over the formation.

“What happened?” Wulan was shocked.

“Not good!”

Luo Feng and the other seven Lords all felt a tremor in their hearts.

The seven of them are skilled in various Daos, but they know little about their companions’ ’Dao’, wanting to perfectly coordinate the ’Dao’ of all Lords, none of the other Lords can do it.

Without Yuan, the seven Lords became like scattered sand, only able to perform some simple coordination.

The coordination of their strength immediately declined sharply! The power of the battle formation dropped to about thirty percent of its original.

“Rumble~~~~” Facing the overwhelming attacks, losing Yuan’s leadership, Luo Feng and the seven immediately felt immense pressure, with the entire battle array close to collapsing at any moment.

“This is bad!” Wulan, standing at the forefront, tried his best to resist, but without the formation’s coordination, too many techniques bypassed Wulan! Luo Feng’s black robes fluttered; the red thread patterns on the robes tried to help.

The power from Blood Crane Territory and the Power of Destruction World intertwined forming these robes, fully defending against external attacks.

But some Ancestors’ techniques were too slippery to intercept.

“Starlight, what do we do?” Lord Mo Man anxiously transmitted, his fluctuations spreading around, striving to weaken the enemy’s attacks. But regardless of how wondrous his methods are, the combined might of the 82 Ancestors is absolutely overpowering!

“Starlight, what do we do?” Jin also anxiously transmitted.

At this moment, Starlight was observing many future branches, searching for a solution.

“Boom——”

Luo Feng’s main battle avatar ignited, performing a blade technique, yet this time his blade technique was fully defensive.

“Take Yuan and retreat with full force.” Starlight immediately made a decision, “We can’t hold on. We must endure until Yuan regains consciousness, otherwise it can’t be fought.”

Luo Feng can let his companions stay at the pinnacle, often performing forbidden techniques, plus Luo Feng’s own power! Luo Feng can double the entire battle formation’s power.

But Yuan, his Primordial Rule Operation Path, can increase the battle formation’s strength by threefold or even fourfold. Without Yuan… the Lords simply can’t resist, having already fallen into a collapsing state upon first contact.

“Go!” Luo Feng’s main battle avatar burned, terrifying power enveloping all companions.

Starlight, Mo Man, Ming Huang, Jin, Nai Gu, Wulan, all six coordinated their strength with Luo Feng.

At this moment——

All the Lords transformed into a blade, with Luo Feng’s Bloodshadow Knife as the edge, the blade slicing through the sky, cleaving all hindrances.

“Trying to escape?”

On the Ancestors’ side, there was Void Power, Infinite World Power, Space-Time Control, Endless Ice Cold Power, Void Ocean Power, Shadowy Cloud Cover… more than twenty ultimate level powers all excel at obstruction, all binding and hindering Luo Feng and them.
