Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent-Chapter 170: Indestructible Light of the Vortex

“Brother Luo He.”

The large, rotund ‘Master Great Freedom’ chuckled and said, “In the future, when you participate in some of the operations of the Wheel of Reincarnation Pavilion, you must remember to hide your identity.”

Hiding one’s aura and blurring karma wasn’t difficult for the other members of the Wheel of Reincarnation Pavilion.

Luo Feng had not yet become a Divine King, so he was relatively weaker in blurring karma.

“I believe that with your accomplishments in the physical body, concealing and disguising won’t be difficult,” said Master Great Freedom. “However, when you engage the enemy and use your techniques during combat, you must avoid using your most famous moves. Because there are some techniques that only you can use on the entire Origin Continent! Once you use them, it will be easy to guess your true identity.”

“If your identity is revealed, you will never have peace again.”

Master Great Freedom sighed.

“After all, our Wheel of Reincarnation Pavilion has competed against many great powers and seized quite a few resources.”

“In our Wheel of Reincarnation Pavilion, only I and Guixu have ever exposed our identities.”

Divine King Wuxin added from the side, “After my identity was exposed, the Divine Kings of the Ancient Flame Kingdom knew that I had obtained many precious treasures, and they surrounded me and tried to kill me multiple times. In the end, I had no choice but to reincarnate.”

“I don’t care.”

Next to him, Emperor Guixu said indifferently, “I have no ties or attachments, so what does it matter if my identity is revealed?”

His wife, children, and even all his clansmen were gone.

Emperor Guixu did not care about exposure.

“I have attachments.”

Divine King Wuxin sighed, “I reincarnated so I could better protect them.”

As Luo Feng listened, he realized that he was still relatively weak and couldn’t yet get involved in the conflicts among the most powerful beings of the Origin Continent, but he could still learn from their experiences.

This gathering to welcome new members finally came to an end.

In Xiangjie City.

Inside a pavilion, Luo Feng sat alone, with a part of his consciousness having already returned.

“The atmosphere within the Wheel of Reincarnation Pavilion is actually quite good,” Luo Feng thought, feeling satisfied. “Even though I’m the weakest, they were all friendly and close.”

“However, even the only member at the first level of the Divine King realm, ‘Divine King Yuntian,’ is extremely formidable.”

Luo Feng was well aware of how terrifying Divine King Yuntian was.

On the Origin Continent, although there were several invincible Divine Kings at the first level, why was Divine King Yuntian invited to join?

“I’ve heard that Divine King Yuntian reached the peak of the first level of the Divine King realm on her own. Unable to progress further, she then switched to cultivating the Primordial Bloodline. It’s said that she was extremely compatible with it, unleashing too much of the bloodline’s potential. Though her strength skyrocketed, the deep power within the bloodline also clashed with her consciousness, leading to her loss of control. In her outburst, she instantly killed a royal Divine King from the Ancient Thunder Kingdom, and it was a true death.”

The story of Divine King Yuntian was well known.

If she had only killed the true body of the royal Divine King, the other side could have cultivated back, and with some compensation, the matter could have been resolved.

But she had dug too deeply into her Primordial Bloodline, which contained a deadly poison that targeted the soul, making resurrection through any vessel impossible.

“Even Divine Kings at the second level would suffer severe losses from her poison. According to my intelligence, when it comes to using poison, she ranks in the top three on the entire Origin Continent.”

Luo Feng could easily guess.

When multiple members acted together, Divine King Yuntian’s poison could simultaneously affect several second-level Divine Kings, providing significant assistance during operations.

As for the other seven members, there was no need to even mention their prowess.

…

In the treasured land known as the ‘Infinite Space,’ Luo Feng sat cross-legged on a large greenish-black stone, cultivating.

Although he had just joined one of the top factions on the Origin Continent, Luo Feng understood that both the Two Realms Palace and the Wheel of Reincarnation Pavilion had invited him at his current chaotic realm level, which was considered an early invitation.

Once he became a Divine King and truly displayed his full strength, many more factions would want to recruit him.

Although he had been invited early, he still couldn’t get involved in collective operations at the moment.

“The Two Realms Palace was even willing to offer a great opportunity, while the Wheel of Reincarnation Pavilion didn’t offer any such fortune.”

Luo Feng smiled.

Sometimes, a pie falling from the sky wasn’t necessarily a good thing. Every action taken by the Two Realms Palace was being closely watched by other races.

Because of this alone, Luo Feng was unwilling to join.

“Better to focus on cultivation.”

“They are all too far away from me.”

From the experiences and lessons of his seniors, Luo Feng learned that the Divine Kings of the two ancient kingdoms were indeed ruthless, but they mainly targeted those at the second level of the Divine King realm.

Divine Kings at the first level were too weak to attract their attention.

Only the precious resources seized by the second-level Divine Kings would make them envious and prompt large-scale actions.

If someone reached the ultimate Divine King realm, the two ancient kingdoms would become cautious instead and would not act rashly.

The Ruler of the Myriad Realms, the Heavenly Wood Beast of the Kingdom, and the Ancestor of the East Extreme Region were all at the ultimate Divine King realm, according to Luo Feng’s intelligence.

These three top-tier powers occupied vast territories and were living comfortably.

“This world ultimately respects power.”

Luo Feng stopped thinking and focused on his cultivation.

The effects of consuming the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit and the Clear Heart Elixir had lasted for half an era, and Luo Feng still cherished this period where the effects persisted.

“The Path of Life and Death…”

Luo Feng once again relaxed and began to comprehend the Path of Life and Death.

Most of Luo Feng’s energy was spent on the ‘Origin Path of Life’ and the ‘Origin Path of Destruction,’ with only a small portion focused on the Path of Life and Death.

Luo Feng understood that these two paths were the foundation for his comprehension of the Path of Life and Death.

The more solid the foundation was,

the further he could go in merging the ‘Path of Life and Death.’

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

Although he understood this reasoning, the comprehension of the paths of Life and Destruction was clearly much slower than that of the Path of Life and Death.

“No wonder many Divine Kings focus on only one path. What suits oneself is the best.”

Luo Feng could clearly feel the difference, as his belief came from the depths of his heart.

By following the path his heart preferred, his efficiency in comprehension significantly increased.

“The first volume of the Seventy-Two Slash Annihilation is based on the Slash of Heaven and the Dark Heaven Slash.”

“The intent is to condense the Dark Heaven Slash and use the Slash of Heaven, gradually integrating the two.”

Luo Feng shook his head lightly.

“But this blade technique has significant flaws.”

“Although it is powerful, it lacks follow-up strength.”

“If the blade light contains the ‘Source of Life’ and then integrates ‘Life Spirit,’ the power would flow endlessly and be full of resilience. After that, I could use the Dark Heaven Slash for refinement and the Slash of Heaven for execution.”

Luo Feng tried it out.

With his past experiences comprehending multiple Divine King-level secret techniques, Luo Feng already had a deep foundation and gradually deduced a rough outline of a new blade technique.

“Something’s wrong.”

Luo Feng noticed a problem.

“When the blade light contains the ‘Source of Life’ and ‘Life Spirit,’ its foundation becomes too deep, and the Dark Heaven Slash and Slash of Heaven can’t properly refine and control it.”

At this moment, Luo Feng’s mind flashed with the rules of the ‘realm’ inside Morosa’s body.

“I could integrate the Hun Heaven Slash and form a small realm. Using this ‘realm’ as a cradle, I could assist the Dark Heaven Slash and the Slash of Heaven to fully refine the blade light.”

With more than a hundred eras of accumulated experience,

And with the six branches of Life and the six branches of Destruction having already reached the peak of the chaotic realm, combined with the effects of the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit and the Clear Heart Elixir, Luo Feng felt a burst of inspiration and was in an excellent state.

Through repeated attempts, the new secret technique gradually took shape.

This secret technique incorporated two major branches of the Path of Life, the ‘Source of Life’ and ‘Life Spirit,’ as well as three major branches of the Path of Destruction, the ‘Dark Heaven Slash,’ ‘Slash of Heaven,’ and ‘Hun Heaven Slash.’

The five major branches gradually merged, and the new secret technique became more and more refined.

Although there were many setbacks in this process, Luo Feng solved them one by one.

Finally…

“It’s done.”

After immersing himself for more than ten million days on the Origin Continent, Luo Feng finally perfected the new secret technique.

“Come forth.”

At Luo Feng’s command, a dark vortex emerged within his body.

When it came to creating worlds, Luo Feng had already accumulated a lot of experience.

Using the ‘Hun Heaven Branch’ as the foundation, opening the vortex was simple.

Massive amounts of energy surged

into the dark vortex, forming strands of blade light.

These countless strands of blade light contained the Source of Life and Life Spirit, continuously gathering and refining.

In just a moment, countless blade lights had gathered, and the energy reserves of Luo Feng’s body in the Infinite Space had been depleted by one-third before the dark vortex finally felt ‘full.’

“It’s done.”

Luo Feng sensed that at this moment, within the dark vortex, an incredibly condensed ‘blade light’ had been born.

Just by looking at this blade light, Luo Feng felt a shiver run through him.

The endless sharpness!

Even without a master to control it, the blade light would not lose any of its power, even after countless ages.

Even if the blade light’s power was depleted, it could regenerate on its own. It was like a ‘Source of Life,’ with endless energy.

“Just this single blade light should possess strength at the peak of the first level of the Divine King realm.”

Luo Feng was secretly astonished.

“Is the power of the Path’s fusion truly this terrifying?”

This was something Luo Feng had realized during his downtime from intense cultivation, yet it had produced such a frightening secret technique.

To know that, according to Luo Feng’s calculations, this was just the beginning of this technique.

Next, he needed to fully master these five branches of the Path, then completely integrate them into the secret technique for its power to reach its peak.

“Just fusing two branches of the Path would already be at the second level of the Divine King realm.”

“The upper limit of this secret technique is the complete fusion of five branches of the Path. Since its starting power is already this strong, it makes sense.”

Luo Feng understood.

“This secret technique, which nurtures a powerful blade light within the vortex, will be called ‘Indestructible Light of the Vortex.’”

“With my mental will, I should be able to control more than ten Indestructible Lights of the Vortex at the same time.”

“More than ten Indestructible Lights of the Vortex would be enough to rival the strength of my physical body.”

Luo Feng was quite pleased.

The strength of his physical body was Luo Feng’s most powerful technique in the outside world.

By relying on the unique ‘Formless and Invisible’ ability of his perfect divine body and following the path of transformation techniques, he had such extraordinary strength.

But ‘Formless and Invisible’ was a gift of the supreme rules, and Luo Feng always felt it was a bit of a shortcut.

This time, however, there were no shortcuts.

The secret technique born from the fusion of five branches of the Path was enough to rival the transformation technique!

“It seems that even without relying on Formless and Invisible, I’m still quite strong.”

Luo Feng was delighted in his heart.
