Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

In Huyang City, the City Lord’s Mansion, the central hub of the entire city, resembled a small fortress. It occupied a vast area, far larger than any ordinary residence, and was now heavily guarded, with numerous formations shimmering with light protecting it. Even for the Heart Shadow Sect, invading the City Lord’s Mansion would result in some casualties.

“They’ve arrived.” The leaders of the Five Great Families, numerous Eternal True Gods, and countless Void True Gods in the City Lord’s Mansion excitedly looked up, watching as the vast flow of the Jiugang Marquis’s army surged into the mansion.

Naturally, the City Lord’s Mansion did not obstruct them, allowing the military formation to enter.

Within the formation, General Yue Wu, General Yong Hu, numerous mechanical secret treasures, and a multitude of Eternal True Gods, including Luo Feng and Morosa, all appeared.

“Divine Lord Luo He, General Yue, General Yong,” the City Lord of Huyang and the leaders of the Five Great Families greeted them respectfully.

“From now on, I will take command of the entire City Lord’s Mansion,” General Yue Wu announced.

“The Marquis has already given orders; I will guide you,” the City Lord of Huyang said with the utmost respect.

“No need, Senior Brother Yong, follow me.” Yue Wu and Yong Hu instantly transformed into two streams of light, diving into the depths beneath the City Lord’s Mansion.

When Yue Wu accepted Jiugang Marquis’s invitation, the marquis had already handed over all the formation diagrams recorded in Huyang City to Yue Wu. As the direct disciple of Yuguo’s ruler and a future prospect for the Chaos Realm, Jiugang Marquis had no concerns about Yue Wu leaking the formation diagrams.

Thus, Yue Wu had studied the diagrams in advance and had already comprehended about seventy to eighty percent of the entire Huyang City formation. Now, with a slight sense and inspection, he knew exactly how to take control.

In just a few breaths of time…

“Buzz!”

Above the City Lord’s Mansion, the originally radiant formations instantly transformed into a chaotic state, their power visibly increasing.

“I need to familiarize myself with Huyang City. If the Heart Shadow Sect attacks with full force, all of you only need to focus on defense,” General Yue Wu transmitted to the numerous Eternal True Gods. He then sent a separate message to Luo Feng, “Brother Luo He, the City Lord’s Mansion is now even more secure. Under normal circumstances, the Heart Shadow Sect won’t be able to break through! But if any special circumstances arise… I’ll need you to hold them off.”

“Below the Chaos Realm, no one can breach the City Lord’s Mansion,” Luo Feng responded via transmission.

“Haha, good.” Yue Wu then immersed himself in familiarizing himself with the various formations of Huyang City. Previously, he had only studied the diagrams, but now he was in actual control!

As Yue Wu took command, he discovered that this large city, Huyang City, had been modified over generations, with numerous formations layered upon each other, forming a tangled mess! Even for him, it required effort to fully understand and utilize the power of Huyang City.

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, the many cultivators who had been worried and fearful finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Whew.”

“Divine Lord,” Moyu Hu said as he saw Luo Feng and Morosa walking over, immediately bowing. “Thank you, Divine Lord, for saving me.”

“The entire Moyu Clan is within my spatial treasure. Do you wish to see them?” Luo Feng asked.

“I would be most grateful,” Moyu Hu replied eagerly.

Luo Feng nodded and waved his hand, placing Moyu Hu into his spatial treasure.

In the distance, Magili Feiyun, Diao Rongqi, Gao Wushui, and others watched this scene. Diao Rongqi, noticing Luo Feng’s gaze, immediately bowed.

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

He and Diao Rongqi had some connection.

“Morosa, keep an eye on the Heart Shadow Sect. If any danger arises, notify me immediately,” Luo Feng transmitted mentally. Morosa, after all, was at the level of a Chaos Overlord, and his observational abilities were stronger than Luo Feng’s. ꞦἁŊꝊВĚṠ

“Rest assured, Master,” Morosa replied at once.

Whoosh.

Luo Feng, along with Morosa, swiftly moved to a spot on the city wall, calmly observing the outside.

“That’s Divine Lord Luo He.”

“The Heart Shadow Sect’s thirteen sect-protecting treasures are renowned. Each one of them is nearly invincible below the Chaos Realm. But even with two of them—the Heart Demon Kite and the Heart Shadow Demon General—joining forces, they were only equal to Divine Lord Luo He.”

“Indeed. If Divine Lord Luo He hadn’t held them off, and the Heart Demon Kite and Heart Shadow Demon General had broken through with the *Great Destruction Absolute Formation*, how could we have resisted? There would have been heavy casualties.”

The Eternal True Gods were all grateful.

…

On the city wall of the City Lord’s Mansion, Luo Feng and Morosa sat, leisurely drinking and watching the outside world.

“The so-called military formations are ultimately just cannon fodder on the Origin Continent,” Luo Feng understood this well. In a war between two nations, the higher-ups would not easily step in, as it could cause a massive escalation on the battlefield.

“Now, earning a billion Cosmos Sand is so difficult.”

“To obtain more resources, I must break through to the Chaos Realm!” Luo Feng thought to himself. As an Eternal True God, earning a billion Cosmos Sand was considered a miracle. But if he became a Chaos Overlord, even ten billion Cosmos Sand would be too little to hire one for battle!

Beside him, Morosa looked at Luo Feng with some confusion. “Master, what are you thinking?”

“I’m thinking about when I can reach the Chaos Realm,” Luo Feng replied softly. “To reach the Chaos Realm on the path of laws, who knows how long it will take.”

“Just take your time and accumulate,” Morosa comforted his master.

Morosa himself didn’t find it difficult; he had broken through naturally while eating and drinking.

Luo Feng glanced at Morosa but didn’t respond.

In the depths beneath the City Lord’s Mansion…

Yue Wu was familiarizing himself with Huyang City’s formations, while Yong Hu stood guard nearby.

“The Heart Shadow Sect is powerful. That warship from the Ancient Flame Kingdom may be clumsy, so the threat isn’t too great. But the Heart Demon Kite and the Heart Shadow Demon General… if it weren’t for Luo He holding them off, we wouldn’t have won this battle,” Yue Wu said.

“Yes, Elder Xin Yan’s strength is close to mine. Once he’s piloting the Heart Demon Kite, I can’t compete with it,” Yong Hu admitted. “But Divine Lord Luo He can fight them both.”

“Your accumulation in the realm is too weak,” Yue Wu remarked. “In my opinion, Luo He’s accumulation in the realm is no less than mine.”

Yong Hu was startled. “Junior Brother, even the ruler of Yuguo believes you’re certain to reach the Chaos Realm! Could it be that Luo He will also reach the Chaos Realm?”

“Yes, he will also reach the Chaos Realm,” Yue Wu replied. “And he’s different from me; he has an Infinite Divine Body! With such a formidable divine body, once he becomes a Chaos Overlord, he’ll rapidly grow in power! If he accumulates for a while, he won’t be any weaker than Jiugang Marquis.”

The Infinite Divine Body had advantages far beyond those of an ordinary divine body, whether in terms of the purity of divine power or the vast reserves of divine power due to its large size.

“You should seize the opportunity to build a good relationship with him while he’s still an Eternal True God,” Yue Wu advised, glancing at Yong Hu.

“Junior Brother, you’ll become a Chaos Overlord in the future. Following you will be just the same,” Yong Hu said flatteringly. He had no choice; the ruler of Yuguo held a position too high to care much about these Eternal True God disciples.

Only Yue Wu could make the ruler of Yuguo take notice.

Yue Wu smiled. Over the long years, Senior Brother Yong had been devoted, doing countless things for Yue Wu. Although other fellow disciples also respected Yue Wu, none were as humble as Yong Hu!

Yue Wu also understood Yong Hu’s determination in cultivation. For the sake of resources, Yong Hu took on missions throughout Yuguo.

“In the future, if I can help you, I will,” Yue Wu promised with a nod.

Of course, the premise was that he could break through to the Chaos Realm.

The ruler of Yuguo and other Divine Kings had all said that Yue Wu’s accumulation was deep and that he would certainly reach the Chaos Realm.

“But I still haven’t broken through. Is it really this difficult to reach the Chaos Realm on the path of laws?” A trace of confusion appeared in Yue Wu’s eyes. He quickly dismissed the thought and focused on understanding the formations of Huyang City.

…

Meanwhile, at the Heart Shadow Sect…

The Sect Master and the Eighteen Elders were gathered, along with Qiu Yi’s divine power incarnation.

“At first, we intended to use the City Lord’s Mansion as bait to ambush the formation master. But what happened? We allowed Jiugang Marquis’s army to enter the City Lord’s Mansion, and we couldn’t even threaten that formation master,” an elder spoke up.

The Heart Shadow Sect Master swept his gaze over them and said, “This time, Jiugang Marquis spared no expense and invited Yue Wu, the number one formation master below the Chaos Realm in Yuguo. This greatly enhanced the power of their military formation, and within

it is Luo He!”

“Luo He’s strength surpasses that of any Eternal True God in Yuguo. He can fight both the Heart Demon Kite and the Heart Shadow Demon General at once,” the Heart Shadow Sect Master shook his head. “Our plan failed, but it couldn’t be helped.”

The room fell silent.

Even with two sect-protecting treasures working together, they were still held off by a single Eternal True God.

“But don’t worry, everyone. They didn’t dare to engage us directly this time and focused only on escaping into the City Lord’s Mansion,” the Heart Shadow Sect Master continued. “But they can’t rule Huyang City or the entire Jiugang Chaos State by running away forever. They’ll have to fight us in a final battle.”

“When that time comes, we have the Ancient Flame Kingdom warship. Whether in formations or the elite nature of our Eternal True Gods, we surpass Jiugang Marquis’s army,” the Heart Shadow Sect Master said.

The Eighteen Elders and Qiu Yi agreed.

After all, the foundation of a Divine King sect meant that their Eternal True God disciples were generally much stronger than those under Jiugang Marquis. With superior formation coordination, they held the advantage in all aspects.

“Elder Xin Yan, Junior Brother Qiu Yi, when the final battle comes, just focus on keeping Luo He occupied,” the Heart Shadow Sect Master instructed. “As long as you keep him busy, the rest of our disciples can fully unleash their potential.”

Elder Xin Yan and Qiu Yi nodded.

“There may be some casualties, but as long as we keep Luo He occupied, the threat from Jiugang Marquis’s forces will be greatly reduced. We’re sure to win,” the Heart Shadow Sect Master declared.

“This Luo He initially demanded a fee of two billion Cosmos Sand from us for his services! Marquis Liu Yin didn’t agree, but Jiugang Marquis did. I wonder how much Jiugang Marquis paid.”

“It probably wasn’t much less.”

“Jiugang Marquis really went all out.”

The elders discussed among themselves.

“No need to worry about that; just be ready for the final battle,” the Heart Shadow Sect Master said.

“Understood,” the elders responded and dispersed.

Elder Xin Yan and Qiu Yi lingered, looking at the Heart Shadow Sect Master.

“I’ve carefully considered the battle situation and feel that Luo He was handling it too easily. Even his servant, Morosa, didn’t intervene,” the Heart Shadow Sect Master said with concern. “Your task is difficult. Keeping Luo He occupied won’t be easy.”

Elder Xin Yan and Qiu Yi both nodded.

They were both very proud, but in the previous confrontation, Morosa indeed hadn’t made a move.

“If you really can’t stop him, then don’t,” the Heart Shadow Sect Master said coldly. “If he wants to kill our Heart Shadow Sect disciples, you two can go slaughter Jiugang Marquis’s Eternal True Gods. We must win this war!”

“Understood.”

“We will do our best,” Elder Xin Yan and Qiu Yi replied.

Soon, they too left.

The Heart Shadow Sect Master gazed into the distance. “The fate of our Heart Shadow Sect lies in the hands of our two ancestors! If they break through and no longer fear the Great Saint Jiuyuan, our Heart Shadow Sect will rise rapidly.”

“But if our two ancestors don’t break through, then the more disciples die, the lighter the burden on the sect’s resources will be, allowing us to sustain ourselves for longer.” The three eyes of the Heart Shadow Sect Master were filled with coldness.
