Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

"Close combat is not just about strength!" Desert Wind City Lord suddenly pulled out two short spears from behind, and his towering body, rising trillions of kilometers high, merged into the desert wind, instantly rushing towards Luo Feng.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

As the wind howled, the figure of Desert Wind City Lord instantly appeared all around Luo Feng, with the phantom of the short spears stabbing at him repeatedly.

Luo Feng stood still, coldly watching the scene unfold.

"Thump thump thump." As the short spears hit Luo Feng's body, a black liquid immediately tried to entangle the spears but could not restrain them, given the immense strength of Desert Wind City Lord.

"Not a drop of blood shed?" Desert Wind City Lord was quite astonished. "What kind of Body Refining Method does he possess?"

A Bloodshadow Knife suddenly appeared in Luo Feng's hands. The Bloodshadow Knife, now far more formidable, possessed the potential to grow into an 'Ultimate Realm Weapon of Godly King'. Heavy and incomparably sharp, Luo Feng abruptly slashed out with it, and Desert Wind City Lord met the blow with his pair of short spears, withstanding the attack.

Boom!

The massive collision of their weapons caused shockwaves that swept across billions of kilometers in all directions.

Their enormous size meant that every movement they made was cataclysmic, easily reducing large city fortresses to dust. Such power even caused the nearby watchers from the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm to tremble.

"Transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm and the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm... the gap is too big," thought those from the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm.

They could obliterate a large city if they exerted all their strength.

But their power paled in comparison to these two titans before them!

Luo Feng and Desert Wind City Lord both stopped, each knowing that they could not overcome the other.

"Luo He, your strength is not inferior to mine," boomed the voice of Desert Wind City Lord like thunder, "but you should understand that in this competition for the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl, our biggest rival is Great Saint Bi Yun."

Luo Feng understood this as well.

Great Saint Bi Yun and Desert Wind City Lord were both prominent figures in the Transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm. Yet when it came to competing for the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl, Great Saint Bi Yun was indeed more adept.

Luo Feng had not even sensed Great Saint Bi Yun's presence until now.

"Luo He, do you think this will lock down Blood Spirit Star?" Suddenly, a cold voice rang out.

Whoosh.

A gray figure, ignoring Luo Feng's encasing black liquid, appeared out of nowhere within Blood Spirit Star.

Blood Spirit Star flared up with flames as the gray figure stood amidst them, leisurely surveying the surroundings.

"Luo He, your strength is not enough to lock down Blood Spirit Star," said the cold voice of Great Saint Bi Yun as Luo Feng's black liquid shrouding Blood Spirit Star shattered in an instant.

Luo Feng felt the space where the black liquid was completely tear apart, naturally causing the black liquid to fracture.

"Just the Black Abyss Transformation Method indeed can't stop her," Luo Feng mused after a preliminary clash with Great Saint Bi Yun, realizing her terror.

The horrifying sharpness of her attack made Luo Feng marvel.

Great Saint Bi Yun's body was ordinary, far weaker than Luo Feng or Desert Wind City Lord. However, her destructive power, seemingly able to cleave through heaven and earth, surpassed even theirs.

"Great Saint Bi Yun is indeed formidable," laughed the gray figure standing on the surface of Blood Spirit Star.

Luo Feng, Great Saint Bi Yun, and Desert Wind City Lord also paid great attention to this gray figure, 'Great Saint Yan Su.'

In terms of head-on combat power, Great Saint Yan Su indeed fell short of the three of them. However, being adept at the Origin Dao of Space, he naturally excelled during the scramble for the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl and had also mastered the Clone Technique.

Lord of Yuan Xiu Mansion, observing from afar, watched this scene. "For a Heavenly Task of Emperor Chu's Lineage summoning seven first-rank lords, such powerful figures have been drawn. I'll just stay far away and grab whatever I can."

Among those present from the Transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm, Lord of Yuan Xiu Mansion was best at trapping and imprisoning enemies.

Luo Feng and Desert Wind City Lord had bodies too formidable to be dragged into it.

On the other hand, the physically weaker Great Saint Bi Yun and Great Saint Yan Su... once targeted, they could easily be captured into the Dark Mansion. Of course, Great Saint Bi Yun always concealed herself well, making her hard to track. Even if imprisoned, with her terrifying destructive power, she could break out of the Dark Mansion Prison.

As for Great Saint Yan Su, with his Clone Technique, imprisoning one of his avatars allowed him to quickly destroy it and cultivate another.

Clashing with him would be troublesome.

"I'll do my best," thought the Lord of Yuan Xiu Mansion, not willing to risk it all.

Chapter Enjoy:

...

Luo Feng looked at the Blood Spirit Star before him and also felt a headache coming on.

Two beings of his level were present: Desert Wind City Lord and Great Saint Bi Yun. The slightly weaker Great Saint Yan Su, adept at space, along with a far-removed Lord of Yuan Xiu Mansion.

"Buzz."

Blood Spirit Star naturally formed within the universe, with a solid core, a liquid middle layer, and outer layers of blood-colored flames. Furthermore, the ancient Godly Kings of Flame Wind Ancient Country had long ago arranged formations within the core of Blood Spirit Star to better absorb the forces of heaven and earth, allowing it to produce more Blood Spirit Golden Pearls.

In fact, all locations in Land of Origin where treasures are nurtured are owned by someone.

They would arrange formations, protect the treasure locations, and even nurture them.

It's only in these treasure locations along the border of the two Ancient Countries that the strong between them are allowed by mutual consent to contest for dominion—whoever is stronger takes possession. But there is one rule—they are forbidden from destroying these locations.

These locations can continuously bring forth treasures!

The struggle for these treasures is up to individual prowess.

However, intentionally destroying a treasure location is a taboo! Both Ancient Countries severely punish such actions!

Even a standard treasure location might produce treasures worth thousands of Merit Points every century, but what about over millennia? That amounts to accumulatively millions of Merit Points worth of treasures! One can only imagine the value of a treasure location.

Of course, these locations are all protected by formations set by Godly Kings, and they are not easy to destroy.

"Let's grab as much as possible," Luo Feng thought immediately, as a vast silvery river began to spread out.

Galaxy Transformation Method!

Endless silver rivers floated around, gathering and dispersing unpredictably, sweeping around the Blood Spirit Star.

As long as the 'Blood Spirit Golden Pearl' actively erupted into the silver river and became bound by it, no other power could steal it again.

"Hmm?" Having observed this, the City Lord of Desert Wind's expression changed slightly, as he exerted his Desert Wind Domain to suppress it.

Boom!

Tens of billions of units of the Galaxy Transformation Method surged powerfully, clashing fiercely with the Desert Wind Domain and proving to be a notch stronger.

This was Luo Feng's last resort, using such a wide-reaching domain technique like the Galaxy Transformation Method to compete for the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl. The Galaxy Transformation Method, unpredictable and fast as lightning, was best suited for long-range execution.

"This Luo He, he has this trick up his sleeve?" The City Lord of Desert Wind realized the trouble.

His Desert Wind Domain, though permeating everywhere, indeed suited for snatching treasures.

In terms of flexibility, changes, and penetration, the Galaxy Transformation Method was slightly inferior to the Desert Wind Domain. However, the Galaxy held more power, completely dominating the area it covered over the Desert Wind Domain!

"Great Saint Luo He's domain technique is indeed quite extraordinary," remarked a grey shadow standing on the surface of Blood Spirit Star with a smile.

No sooner had he spoken.

The vast Galaxy seemed to freeze, slowing down significantly in its movements.

"Hmm?" Luo Feng's face changed slightly; he felt the space solidifying, heavily binding his Galaxy Transformation Method! Although he could still move forcibly through the sheer force, the speed was only ten to twenty percent of the original.

"Do not take offense," laughed Great Saint Yan Su, "Your domain technique was too powerful; I had to suppress it a bit."

"Fine, fine," Luo Feng looked at him.

Just then, boom~~~

During the eruption period of Blood Spirit Star, amongst the liquid flames it spewed out, ten Blood Spirit Golden Pearls burst forth in an instant.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh."

With sharpness that could slice heaven and earth, two small realms were instantly cut off, carrying three Blood Spirit Golden Pearls between them, and were swept away into the void.

Luo Feng's Galaxy Domain spread far and wide, close to these Blood Spirit Golden Pearls, immediately joining the competition.

"Buzz." Space seemed to freeze, the degree of imprisonment immediately soaring, making Luo Feng's Galaxy Transformation Method move even slower.

"Damn it." Luo Feng growled in annoyance.

Huff, huff, huff.

The City Lord of Desert Wind, Great Saint Yan Su, and Luo Feng all made quick moves.

The Desert Wind City Lord's wind howled, sweeping away two Blood Spirit Golden Pearls. Great Saint Yan Su teleported to snatch two Blood Spirit Golden Pearls. Even though Luo Feng's Galaxy Transformation Method held the terrain advantage, completely enveloping Blood Spirit Star, he could only manage to wrap around two Blood Spirit Golden Pearls due to the slow movement.

Even the Lord of Yuan Xiu Mansion, who stayed far away, took the opportunity to collect one Blood Spirit Golden Pearl using the Dark Mansion Prison.

"Yan Su," Luo Feng looked at Great Saint Yan Su; had it not been for Yan Su's spatial imprisonment, with the advantage of the Galaxy Transformation Method, he might have doubled his share of the Blood Spirit Golden Pearls.

Great Saint Yan Su just smiled.

"Great Saint Yan Su," Luo Feng immediately transmitted a message, "Five beings at the Transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm competing, and you target just me? Just stop obstructing me. Once this eruption ends, I'll give you three Blood Spirit Golden Pearls."

"Haha... Competing for Blood Spirit Golden Pearls is all about skill," General Yan Su said, smiling amiably at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng could sense that the other party was somewhat targeting him.

Spatial imprisonment could bind the Galaxy Transformation Method, and could similarly bind the Desert Wind Domain! Yet General Yan Su was going all out just against him.

"Very well, it's all about skill," Luo Feng gave him a cold glance, saying no more.

...

Time passed.

This wave of Blood Spirit Golden Pearls eruption lasted about three days.

Great Saint Bi Yun, who hadn't appeared from the beginning to the end, nonetheless cut away the most—exactly twenty-five Blood Spirit Golden Pearls.

Desert Wind City Lord, by dint of his Desert Wind Domain permeating everywhere, also snatched twelve Blood Spirit Golden Pearls.

Although Luo Feng's Galaxy Transformation Method covered all directions, under Great Saint Yan Su's spatial imprisonment, he managed only nine Blood Spirit Golden Pearls.

Great Saint Yan Su himself took away eight Blood Spirit Golden Pearls.

The always distant Lord of Yuan Xiu Mansion, taking advantage of the conflict, also managed to pick up three Blood Spirit Golden Pearls.

"Great Saint Yan Su targeting Great Saint Luo He time and again, is there a grudge?"

"Great Saint Yan Su's spatial imprisonment can easily bind both Great Saint Luo He and the City Lord of Desert Wind simultaneously. In that case, the restraint on Great Saint Luo He would be much weaker, potentially getting two or three more Blood Spirit Golden Pearls. The City Lord of Desert Wind would also get fewer."

"Yan Su has made an enemy of Luo He this time."

"What does it matter? Great Saint Yan Su, with his Clone Technique, is much tougher to deal with than average transcendents of the Primal Chaos Realm."

Let alone transcendents of the Primal Chaos Realm, even beings at the Godly King stage rarely possess clones.

These beings at the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm, who had been watching from afar, observed the whole process, chatting casually while they started to leave.

After observing the first wave of competition, their desire to compete had already diminished.

"Hahaha..."

The City Lord of Desert Wind stood beneath Blood Spirit Star, looking around, his voice booming through the sky and earth, "I acquired a total of twelve Blood Spirit Golden Pearls; I'm willing to sell these to you starting at one hundred billion Cosmic Sand each! The highest bidder takes them!"

Luo Feng, Great Saint Bi Yun, the Lord of Yuan Xiu Mansion, Great Saint Yan Su, and some who were about to leave who were at the Pinnacle of the Primal Chaos Realm, all heard this news.

"Starting at one hundred billion Cosmic Sand each? Has he gone mad?"

Even Bi Yun, the wealthiest among those present, thought the price was outrageous.
