Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 103: Marquis Liu Yin and Luo Feng

“Things just got a lot more complicated.”

In the Yan Feng Pavilion, Di Chu Yu and the Deputy Pavilion Master felt a chill run through their hearts.

In this world, only Divine Kings and Chaos-level beings were considered high-ranking. Every Peak of Chaos existence was untouchable, and even the royal descendants of the Ancient Flame Kingdom would not provoke them lightly.

This was because the willpower of a Peak of Chaos existence was at least at the ‘Peak of Chaos’ level, and could even reach the level of the Will of the Divine King. If such an existence used the Reincarnation Secret Technique, they could reincarnate with their memories intact.

Who would dare to recklessly challenge someone like that based on their background? If pushed too far, they would simply kill you! After killing you, they would reincarnate directly.

No matter how powerful your background, you wouldn’t be able to find the reincarnated identity of such a person.

Moreover, there was a tacit understanding on the Origin Continent that Divine Kings would not easily intervene in conflicts between Chaos-level beings without sufficient reason. Thus, outside of the two ancient kingdoms, the Peak of Chaos was the most formidable deterrent in normal circumstances.

“We can’t help him,” the Deputy Pavilion Master shook his head. “This Luo He is too reckless. When your strength is weak, why must you act on impulse?”

“Perhaps he thought he could protect himself,” Di Chu Yu frowned. “But the power of a Peak of Chaos existence is terrifying, far beyond that of a newly ascended Chaos-level being.”

“Damn it,” in the City Lord’s Mansion, General Yue Wu’s face changed slightly.

“Marquis Liu Yin will have to take action, even if just for the sake of his reputation,” General Yong Hu said from the side.

“I’m worried that Marquis Liu Yin will take out his anger on the entire Huyang City,” General Yue Wu added.

General Yong Hu looked at Yue Wu in surprise.

General Yue Wu continued, “Marquis Liu Yin is known as the ‘Calamity of the World’! Whenever he acts, it represents a disaster descending upon the world. And this time, having suffered such a great humiliation, his retaliation will be even more ruthless.”

“Don’t worry. My master gave me a life-saving treasure. In case of emergency, I’ll take you with me and leave,” General Yue Wu sighed, “But I can’t protect the entire Huyang City.”

General Yong Hu immediately nodded. At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe… Although they were all disciples of the Lord of Yuguo, General Yue Wu was treated ten times better than the rest, even receiving life-saving treasures.

“My master killed Liu Yin Yan, and now Marquis Liu Yin is going to make a move?” Moyu Qingyan was very worried about his master at this moment and couldn’t help but look at Morosa beside him.

“Don’t panic,” Morosa comforted him with a few words, then looked up.

During this period, Luo Feng had sparred with him several times. Morosa was the one who knew Luo Feng’s true strength the best.

…

In the sky, the dark red armored figure stared coldly at Luo Feng. “Very well, I hope you remain just as confident when you are about to die.”

After speaking, the incarnation dispersed and vanished into the heavens and earth.

Luo Feng turned his gaze towards the Heart Shadow Sect’s headquarters in the distance.

“Boom!”

A terrifying, oppressive aura erupted from the Heart Shadow Sect’s headquarters.

The true form of Marquis Liu Yin had arrived here, using the time-space treasure he had bestowed upon the Heart Shadow Sect.

“He’s here,” Luo Feng observed his opponent.

“He’s here,” Di Chu Yu, the Deputy Pavilion Master, Jiugang Marquis, and others all noticed the terrifying aura erupting from the Heart Shadow Sect’s headquarters, an aura that sent shivers down their spines.

Marquis Liu Yin stood at the Heart Shadow Sect’s headquarters, looking up at Luo Feng from afar.

Luo Feng also looked at him.

“You have guts,” Marquis Liu Yin said softly.

Then, he disappeared into thin air.

The entire sky instantly darkened, and endless blood fire spread out, like blood vessels extending across the sky, turning it completely dark red! Under this dark red sky, the aura of calamity spread, and just looking at it made the cultivators feel the approach of ‘death.’

At the Heart Shadow Sect, the Sect Master and the Eighteen Elders looked up at this scene.

“When Marquis Liu Yin bestowed upon me this time-space treasure, it was to instantly arrive and deal with Jiugang Marquis,” the Sect Master of the Heart Shadow Sect said, “Who would have thought that Luo He would court death and provoke Marquis Liu Yin.”

“Doesn’t Luo He have something to rely on, to be so arrogant?” an elder asked.

“Among the Chaos Overlords, those who can be called ‘Peak of Chaos’ are extremely rare. Marquis Liu Yin is on par with the Great Saint of Nine Origins. How could a newly ascended Chaos-level being possibly contend with him?” Elder Xin Yan shook his head.

The Heart Shadow Sect had declined due to the Great Saint of Nine Origins.

Elder Xin Yan and the others had carefully studied the differences between Chaos-level beings and knew how terrifying the Great Saint of Nine Origins and Marquis Liu Yin were.

“Marquis Liu Yin only asked him to hand over the Snow Realm Envoy and pay 10 billion Cosmos Sand as compensation.”

“Chaos-level beings are hard to kill; it depends on how Luo He’s life-saving methods hold up.”

The Heart Shadow Sect also watched from afar.

At that level of conflict, they could only stay far away.

Back then, they had watched as the Great Saint of Nine Origins fought the three Chaos-level beings of the Heart Shadow Sect. The three Chaos-level beings had relied on the sect’s formations, but in the end, the formation was broken, one died, and two fled.

…

Luo Feng looked at the dark red sky that spread across billions of miles, with an aura of calamity pervading it.

Suddenly—

A massive face appeared in the dark red sky; it was Marquis Liu Yin’s face.

“This is my world. Can your life-saving technique escape from my world?” The massive face looked at Luo Feng. “As for reincarnation? Do you think a newly ascended Chaos-level being can awaken their memories after reincarnation?”

The Will of the Divine King could remain conscious at all times, even in the fetal stage.

For a Peak of Chaos-level will, the time for memory awakening after reincarnation was uncertain—it could be during youth, as a Void True God, or even as an Eternal True God. If they died again without ‘awakening their memories,’ they would be truly dead.

“Marquis Liu Yin, did you ask for my permission before taking action?” A voice suddenly echoed.

Jiugang Marquis appeared out of thin air above Huyang City, standing beside Luo Feng.

He looked up at the dark red sky.

“Buzz~~~”

Suddenly, the void rippled, and the fluctuations in space began to obscure and cover the dark red sky, making it all seem blurry.

“Luo He, while I engage Marquis Liu Yin, you should leave quickly.” Jiugang Marquis glanced at Luo Feng and immediately sent a message, “Take your friends and leave quickly. I won’t be able to hold off Marquis Liu Yin for long. If he gets enraged, he might take it out on the entire Huyang City.”

“Of course, if I win, that would be the best.” Jiugang Marquis smiled, then completely disappeared, merging into the void.

Even though Jiugang Marquis knew his chances of winning were slim, he still wanted to fight, to settle the matter once and for all.

Who is stronger, who is weaker? Let’s find out by fighting!

“Rumble~~~”

The blood fire world surged with terrifying power, but it was covered by an invisible ripple in the void, suppressing it.

“Jiugang Marquis, do you think you can stop me?” Suddenly, countless blood fire figures appeared, and thousands of Marquis Liu Yins simultaneously struck out with blood fire blades, instantly tearing apart the void ripples.

“Annihilate.”

With a cold command, a massive net of void suddenly appeared in the heavens, instantly cutting through the thousands of Marquis Liu Yins, shattering them all.

…

Luo Feng watched the scene.

“In terms of realm, both of them are above me.” Luo Feng observed their battle, realizing the difference between them.

In terms of technique, the moves of Marquis Liu Yin and Jiugang Marquis were extremely profound, far superior to Luo Feng’s simple methods. Luo Feng couldn’t even lock onto their true forms.

“As strength increases, it’s not just about greater power; the techniques also become more incredible.” Luo Feng carefully observed. Although he had learned much about Chaos-level beings, it couldn’t compare to seeing it with his own eyes.

In the era since he became Chaos-level, the only Chaos-level being he had fought was Morosa.

“Luo He, why aren’t you leaving?” Di Chu Yu urgently sent a message. “Now that Jiugang Marquis has engaged the opponent, you should leave quickly.”

“Let me see the situation first,” Luo Feng replied.

“You… I really don’t understand where your confidence comes from. Here is the most detailed intelligence on Marquis Liu Yin.” Seeing that he couldn’t persuade Luo Feng, Di Chu Yu immediately sent over detailed intelligence. “Marquis Liu Yin is known as the ‘Calamity of the World.’ His true form right now is not any physical body but rather that blood fire world! The world is him, and he is the world.”

Luo Feng examined the intelligence on Marquis Liu Yin.

The information Di Chu Yu provided was very detailed, including records of numerous battle scenes.

Luo Feng was too poor to afford such detailed intelligenceNôv(el)B\\jnn

on the Peak of Chaos, only able to purchase basic information.

“Thank you, Pavilion Master,” Luo Feng sent a message of gratitude.

“Luo He, why aren’t you leaving? I can’t hold him off any longer!” Jiugang Marquis sent an urgent message.

“Boom, boom, boom~~~”

The entire blood fire world seemed to boil, with destruction everywhere. Jiugang Marquis, hidden in the void, was burning his divine power and struggling to resist, but it was becoming increasingly difficult.

“Jiugang Marquis, if you can’t hold on, then leave it to me.” Luo Feng smiled slightly.

“Leave it to you?” Jiugang Marquis, hidden in the void, was stunned.

Luo Feng stood there, looking up at the endless blood fire world.

Rumble~~~

A rolling silver river instantly swept across the vast expanse, its range no less than the blood fire world.

All the cultivators in Huyang City sensed it; the silver river flowed through every road, every residential area, perfectly shielding Huyang City, preventing the blood fire world from harming any cultivator.

“I’ve cultivated fifteen Transformation Techniques, and among them, the ‘Galaxy Transformation Technique’ is the best for large-scale moves,” Luo Feng thought.

During this era, he had also ventured into the Chaos Layer and captured some creatures from there.

This allowed him to elevate the Transformation Technique to ‘Fifteen Types.’

However, Luo Feng only used five of these Transformation Techniques on himself.

“Rise.”

With a single thought, countless vast silver blades floated up, a total of eight thousand blades hovering in the air.

“Hmm?”

The blood fire world that was Marquis Liu Yin watched this scene in confusion. These eight thousand blades looked grand, but they didn’t seem to burn with divine power.

“Slash!” Luo Feng looked at the sky.

The eight thousand silver blades simultaneously executed the technique ‘Blade River Slash.’ This was a move Luo Feng had created after gradually accumulating experience in his realm, a move called ‘Blade River Slash.’ The Blade River Slash pursued simplicity and purity; Luo Feng removed some intricate variations, even discarding aspects targeting space, focusing solely on the most basic power!

As a result, the Blade River Slash placed much less burden on his mental strength.

Moreover, after Luo Feng’s Perfect Divine Body had grown to its limit, nourished by his physical body, his soul became even larger, allowing him to control more blades.

With various refinements, Luo Feng was able to wield eight thousand blades with a single thought.

“Rumble~~~”

Even without targeting space, just maintaining the purest power, these eight thousand blades simultaneously unleashed their might.

Layers upon layers of space were instantly shattered, unable to resist at all. Wherever the blades reached, everything was annihilated, returning to chaos.

Under the onslaught of the blades, all layers of space were destroyed, even reaching the outer membrane of the world.

This membrane was the Fettered Barrier.

Despite the devastation wrought by the eight thousand blades, this Fettered Barrier remained incredibly resilient, unshakable. Pure power alone was far from enough to break through this Fettered Barrier!

“This—”

Whether it was Jiugang Marquis, Di Chu Yu, or Marquis Liu Yin facing the earth-shattering eight thousand blades, they were all stunned.

The eight thousand blades ravaged an area of several trillion kilometers, obliterating all layers of space, leaving only the final Fettered Barrier. Even the ‘Blood Fire World’ was partially destroyed in an instant.

Within this area, unless one could merge with the Fettered Barrier, there was no escape! They could only endure the strike head-on!

“You actually hurt me?” Marquis Liu Yin hadn’t been injured since he could transform into the Blood Fire World.

“You’re not a newly ascended Chaos-level being.” After the eight thousand blades receded and the Blood Fire World began to spread again, a massive face looked at Luo Feng. “You have the strength of a Peak of Chaos.”

Luo Feng, dressed in a black robe, stood on the endless silver river, looking up at the Blood Fire World. “Who told you that I was a newly ascended Chaos-level being? Marquis Liu Yin, I was in seclusion in Huyang City, and you were the one who came looking for trouble!”
