Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin-Chapter 282 - 44, 500 Era Years

Huyang City, atop the high tower of the city owner's mansion.

Luo Feng was drinking alone.

"Nine Rivers Sacred Realm?" Luo Feng muttered to himself.

The information provided during the gathering with Primogenitor Yan Feng, Emperor Qing, and himself, revealed much.

Only when one reaches the Ultimate Realm Life Form could one traverse through a transmission passage within Land of Origin, leaving Land of Origin, usually to a randomly chosen destination, unless the exact coordinates are set during transmission.

The world where Emperor Qing resides is known as 'Nine Rivers Sacred Realm', which is a convergence of numerous Source World powerhouses and countless World level strong ones.

"Emperor Qing, he is in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm. Those qualified to be here, the weakest are Ultimate Realm Life Forms! And the higher ups can reach Half Primordial Level!"

"Primogenitor Yan Feng is in the Dark Sacred Realm, where the entry threshold is extremely high! Primogenitor Yan Feng, Thunder Ancestor, are merely slightly stronger than the entry-level requirement. In the Dark Sacred Realm... the resources are much more abundant than in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm."

Luo Feng is too far from what's called the 'threshold of the Dark World', generally, only those who are The Enlightened in the late stages of Divine Emperor could hope to enter.

"Whether it's Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, Dark Sacred Realm... or some other places, they are all for the likes of Senior Yuan to cultivate us, the weaker ones." Luo Feng also understood this.

"Without Star Tower, Eye of Life and Death, my strength is still a bit too weak."

The Eye of Life and Death opened at Luo Feng's brow, looking far off in the direction of the Dream Domain.

With the exception of the Infinite Space not in the Land of Origin, Luo Feng could peek into all other sacred places.

"Hum."

Under the observation of the Eye of Life and Death, it rapidly penetrated layers of spatial barriers and saw the core layer – the 'Dark Area'.

The Dark Area, where only spiritual will could probe, but the 'Eye of Life and Death' could clearly see everything.

"There is only one space in the Dark Area."

Luo Feng watched.

The entire Dream Domain looked like a massive sphere, with countless bubbles inside, each bubble an independent space. The outermost Dream Realm spaces were the most numerous, the middle layer had fewer, the deeper layer even less, and the core 'Dark Area' had only one space.

This one space was extraordinarily stable.

The ground was cast from black metal, engraved with Secret Patterns.

The trees grew tangled from innumerable metals.

The rivers were even more convergences of shining Liu Guang.

Here, the weakest creatures are Emperor and Monarch level.

The most powerful touched upon the limits of Land of Origin's power, and some of their conflicts were enough to make even Luo Feng change color.

"Even I can't bring the Eye of Life and Death, Star Tower inside," Luo Feng understood, "Although the strongest Dream Realm creatures in the Dark Area are at the limit of power. However, in some areas, there are simply too many Dream Realm creatures."

Under the observation of the Eye of Life and Death, one could see an area where hundreds of serpentine creatures converged, each one frolicking with others, and their commotion could touch the limit of Land of Origin's power.

"If hundreds of serpentine creatures were to attack, it would be like having hundreds of Emperor Qing attacking." Luo Feng thought, "Even if I hide inside the Star Tower, I would be completely trapped and unable to escape."

The Star Tower's power was also limited.

One against hundreds?

How to fight?

Even if Primogenitor Yan Feng and Thunder Ancestor came, it wouldn't help.

"There are quite a few Special Life Remnants." Under the observation of the Eye of Life and Death, Luo Feng saw countless of them, scattered all over the place.

Or deep within a river, where hundreds of thousands of remains could be found – a single bone, a piece of scale, a strand of muscle...

Deep within the mountains, some were also hidden.

But there was one thing in common; all of them required exploring deep within the Dark Area.

"With my Eye of Life and Death, I can only see the appearances of these Special Life Remnants, unable to peer inside," Luo Feng frowned, "I cannot determine their exact value."

Using his own Eye of Life and Death, perhaps comparable to an ordinary high-level Primordial Life's observational ability. But to see through the essence of 'Special Life Remnants' at a glance was simply not possible.

"I can only bring one piece back. After getting one, I would be expelled, never able to enter again," Luo Feng pondered.

His Eye of Life and Death carefully observed.

Rivers, mountains, underground, jungles...

Comparing various corpse materials one by one.

"This piece, it looks unusual," Luo Feng eventually focused on one piece of material.

It was a dark golden pointed horn.

This dark golden horn was deep within the Underground Maze, where hundreds of creatures resembling 'centipedes' were perched, all of which seemed to be worshipping this horn.

"Watching the entire Dream Domain's Dark Area with my Eye of Life and Death, this is the only horn-like material. And the creatures guarding it are quite strong," Luo Feng thought, "This is the one!"

An exceedingly terrifying Life Form, if it had a horn, moreover a Single Horn, it must be greatly useful.

"Let's look at the Heavenly Pillar Realm."

Luo Feng turned his head and carefully observed the whole Heavenly Pillar Realm with the Eye of Life and Death.

Deep within the Heavenly Pillar Realm, the most eye-catching feature was a winding Polluted Blood River! Any Godly King of the Second Realm who touched this Polluted Blood River would die immediately, even their avatars in the outer realms would perish due to soul pollution.

Moreover, there were massive bone mountains, with countless crevices inside them, resembling a maze.

There were also an abundance of lush plants, growing on the banks of the Polluted Blood River and within the bone mountains, rooting deep into the ground.

"The Dream Domain, I can see through at a glance."

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

"However, in the Heavenly Pillar Realm, there are about one or two tenths of the region that I can't see clearly, 'the Polluted Blood River' within I can't see clearly, the bone mountains I can only see the surface, the deepest parts are unclear, as well as the deep underground," Luo Feng shook his head slightly.

"The Polluted Blood River, it should be the blood contamination formed by World level Primordial Life."

Luo Feng was somewhat certain.

Such blood that not even his Eye of Life and Death could see through would definitely not be from the blood of life within the Braided Cage.

"It is said that within the Polluted Blood River, bone mountains, and deep underground, it's easy to breed Innate Secret Treasures," laughed Luo Feng. What was strange was that whether it was in the Dream Domain or the Heavenly Pillar Realm, Luo Feng did not see any Innate Secret Treasures.

The Innate Secret Treasures seemed to be hidden very well.

"As for Special Life Remnants..."

Luo Feng looked at the Heavenly Pillar Realm, "Remnants are everywhere. The entire Polluted Blood River is composed of remnants, and every bone mountain is made of remnants."

Luo Feng realized this but he also knew that he had no way to take them. Just by looking… Luo Feng could tell how overwhelmingly heavy they were, and the intimidation they posed was terrifying.

"This is it."

After carefully examining the massive amounts of remnants in the depths of the Heavenly Pillar Realm, Luo Feng finally made a choice.

As observed with the Eye of Life and Death, there were a total of two hundred and eighty-nine bone mountains, and within the central one of those bone mountains, there was a long segment of black bone, divided into nine sections.

"These nine segments of black bone, I should be able to take one section," thought Luo Feng.

...

Although the Heavenly Pillar Realm was guarded by two Imperial Clans, they did not dare to hinder the Galaxy Ruler.

Luo Feng sent out a powerful Avatar, whose Physical Body alone possessed the strength of a Divine Emperor level, and made his way deep into the bone mountain range. Despite the ever-increasing pressure, this intimidation still fell within the 'limits of the Land of Origin.'

Luo Feng reached the core, entering deep into that bone mountain, looking at the towering nine segments of black bone.

The nine segments of black bone emitted a terrifying aura.

As soon as Luo Feng touched it, an intangible message transferred to him, he could only take away one segment, and once taken away, he would not be able to take any more Special Life Remnants.

"Hum."

As Luo Feng moved it, he felt an immense weight, and then he stored it inside the Divine Level Secret Treasure 'Water Drop Flying Boat' he carried with him.

...

The Special Life Remnants of the Heavenly Pillar Realm were relatively easy for Luo Feng to obtain. However, the 'Dark Golden Golden Horn' in the Dream Domain was very difficult to attain. Luo Feng had attempted hundreds of times, and each time he failed.

Fortunately, his Avatar's Life Force was strong enough that trying hundreds of times didn't cause too much Energy depletion.

"With the Eye of Life and Death assisting from afar, I still failed," Luo Feng had no choice but to set it aside for now.

After over two hundred eras.

Employing the three 'Nine Branches Fusion Secret Method' of the Great Dao of Life and Death in tandem, and with multiple avatars working together, assisted by long-range observation of the Eye of Life and Death, and by luring away the opponent and desperately restraining, he finally obtained that dark golden sharp horn.

Since then, the two most important treasures that Divine Emperors within the Land of Origin could generally obtain—the 'two Special Life Remnants'—were in his hands.

"These two treasures are indeed extraordinary," Luo Feng observed under the Eye of Life and Death.

The Single Horn and one segment of the black bone contained endless mysteries within themselves. Although they were slightly inferior to the 'Eye of Life and Death,' they were of the same level and even more simple and pure.

"The Single Horn actually contains the mysteries of Spiritual Will," Luo Feng exclaimed in awe. The Secret Patterns within the Single Horn, Spiritual Will seemed to dominate.

"This segment of black bone has the mystery of being 'Indestructible,'" Luo Feng peered into the composition of the black bone. How could the growth of Life be so indomitably Indestructible?

******

Luo Feng immersed himself in his Cultivation, and the Land of Origin also returned to calm!

Under the joint orders of the Galaxy Ruler, Primogenitor Yan Feng, and Thunder Ancestor, the 'Great Sinners' of the entire Land of Origin no longer had a footing to exist. Even those who were lucky enough to secretly consume some tribes to aid their own Cultivation were in constant fear and trepidation as Morosa and a group of patrollers might find them at any moment.

Unbeknownst to many, the bet between Luo Feng and Thunder Ancestor had also passed for about five hundred eras already.

In Flame Wind Ancient Country, within a vast space.

Eleven thoughts converged, forming the figures of eleven Emperors.

"That Guest Official Luo He has been the Garrison Commander of the Heavenly Pillar Realm for a thousand eras," Di Yan said. "It is time for him to leave! The task of Heavenly Pillar Realm garrison... no Guest Elder can be assigned consecutively."

The role of garrison for the Heavenly Pillar Realm was a coveted assignment for the Guests Elders.

Di Yan and the others typically used it to reward some obedient Guest Elders! Having Luo He occupied it for over a thousand eras, Di Yan and the others were naturally displeased.

"A Guest Elder who does not understand hierarchy, yet we let him hold the position for over a thousand eras," Di Wu's face was icy cold. She had personally threatened Luo He, forcing him to accept another task, but in the end, Emperor Chu had protected his own disciple.

Emperor Chu had a deep hatred with her, naturally, she was also full of hostility towards Luo He.

"Since the term is over, it is natural to replace him," Emperor Chu glanced at Di Wu, not caring in the slightest.
