Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

During normal cultivation, there are occasional moments when one's state of mind is excellent and a flash of spiritual light occurs.

However, after consuming the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit, with the fruit's energy nourishing the soul, Luo Feng could maintain a perfect state continuously, greatly enhancing his comprehension and even accelerating his thought processes by twenty to thirty times.

Luo Feng began to utilize material from the golden scale beetles and perfect Primal Chaos Layer Creatures, commencing his dissection and research.

"If I can fully grasp both the lineage of Life Spirituality and the Body of Life, then I can easily study and form the trinity state,"

"Merely relying on the accumulation of both lineages at the pinnacle of the Primal Chaos Realm is clearly not enough."

Luo Feng understood this and could only continue to delve into his studies slowly.

The process of delving was also a process of accumulation.

"Perhaps, I might become a Godly King first," Luo Feng mused.

He had a feeling that comprehending the trinity form was no less difficult than comprehending a complete branch of the Great Dao.

...

In the Primordial Cosmos, within that special space at the Source Ground,

Luo Feng's Divine Power Incarnation was also directly confronting the complete Great Dao of Life Origin.

"Life Spirituality, Body of Life." Luo Feng carefully observed; depending on the angle of observation, the complete Great Dao of Life Origin displayed different forms.

It appeared as a twisting, twenty-four-clawed dragon, or as an eternal river that pierces through time and space, or as an endless majestic godly body, or the origin of countless lives, or the very concept of life itself...

As Luo Feng watched, his Spiritual Will was continuously baptized by the entirety of the Great Dao of Life Origin, drawing him closer and closer to the Dao.

"Trinity?" Luo Feng murmured to himself, recalling the many detailed records on the trinity from the 'Life Body Chapter' of the 'Eight Tribulations Life Form,' which described the First Calamity.

It felt almost within reach, yet just slightly beyond his grasp.

Cultivation was like this: many beings at the pinnacle of the Primal Chaos Realm, even those who have transcended it, are stuck at a bottleneck, unable to master a complete branch of the Great Dao.

******

In another space within the Star Tower, this was also Morosa's exclusive cultivation space.

Since absorbing the corpse of the golden scale beetle, Morosa had been in silent cultivation, doing his utmost to digest it.

At this moment, Morosa had long resumed his true appearance, transformed into a tall, fair-skinned, beautiful being; his appearance naturally carried a seductive charm. He was the darling of the Path of Destruction, and at this moment, he did not conceal the Power of Sector Beast within him.

This was his truest state.

"Hum."

Morosa's aura suddenly trembled, a terrifying fluctuation spreading from within his 'realm' and extending in all directions. His body naturally embarked on a transformation, evolving from the Primal Chaos Realm to a higher life level.

"I've broken through," Morosa opened his eyes, filled with excitement, "To break through from the Primal Chaos Realm to Godly King, this is a fundamental metamorphosis."

"The 'realm' within me also now has the embryonic form of its final shape," Morosa was thrilled.

The most core aspect of a Sector Beast lies in the 'realm' within its body.

With each life level breakthrough, the realm undergoes a metamorphosis. Becoming a Godly King signifies the last of these transformations.

From the First Realm of Godly King to the Ultimate Realm of God King (Third Realm of Godly King), the realm within would only continue to be perfected, until it reached its ultimate state.

"It's been sixty eras since I came to the Land of Origin, and I've now stepped into the Godly King level, much faster than I anticipated. All thanks to the corpse of the golden scale beetle," Morosa knew this very well, "This single corpse of the golden scale beetle is worth the effect of thousands of Primal Chaos Realm corpses."

If he had to slowly absorb the forces of heaven and earth to become a Godly King, it would take far too long.

Suddenly—

A figure appeared beside him, it was Luo Feng. Whether it was the sense of soul enslavement or the perception of the interior of the Star Tower, Luo Feng detected Morosa's change instantly.

"You've broken through?" Luo Feng looked at Morosa, who had now taken on a honest-looking appearance, but whose aura was clearly far more terrifying.

"Master, I've become a Godly King," Morosa said with a chuckle, "All thanks to the golden scale beetle corpse that you gave me."

Luo Feng nodded slightly; it was a gift from his master, Emperor Chu. He had kept just one percent of the materials for himself and had given the rest to Morosa.

"It seems the effect is indeed very good," Luo Feng was quite satisfied; his own cultivation and comprehension of the Great Dao were extremely difficult. Yet Morosa had a relatively smooth journey and had now even become a Godly King ahead of him.

Morosa was also pleased and said excitedly, "Master, after becoming a Godly King, the realm within my body now has the embryonic form of its final shape! I now possess many powerful abilities."

"Oh?" Luo Feng looked at him.

"Even without revealing my Sector Beast identity, I can use many techniques," Morosa was quite confident, "For example, with the realm inside me, I can now cast a Curse Killing Technique. As long as I've seen the enemy once, I can perform a curse kill!"

"Curse kill?" Luo Feng was inwardly shocked.

He himself was a cultivator of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin and was well aware of this Dao, which contains many destructive methods.

For instance, the 'Black Sky Lineage' of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin was particularly adept at assassination and curse killing techniques.

"Most at the First Realm of Godly King would probably be unable to withstand my Curse Killing Technique," Morosa confidently said, "Under my curse, all of their avatars and survival tricks would be killed, forcing them to reincarnate."

Luo Feng listened, deeply astonished.

Forcing the majority of those at the First Realm of Godly King to reincarnate?

"Aside from the secretive curse kills, I can also strike openly. My avatars can transform in thousands of ways and hide their presence just the same," Morosa was very confident, "I can stir up trouble in the Land of Origin, anonymously striking from the shadows, and my enemies would be unable to detect my identity."

"Master, do you need me to take action?" Morosa asked eagerly, having been suppressed for too long, "With my Curse Killing Technique, the enemy wouldn't even know who killed them."

Morosa glared.

Endure more?

"Your avatars can undergo a myriad of transformations? The traces of your Curse Killing Technique are hard to detect?" Luo Feng gently shook his head, "No matter what, you're still at the First Realm of Godly King. There are many beings on the Land of Origin stronger than you, especially the methods of the two Ancient Countries. How much do you know about them?"

"To trace causality! To follow the tracks of past spacetime... Do you think you can really hide?"

Luo Feng shook his head, "On the Land of Origin, there are only seventy-one who have transcended the Primal Chaos Realm! There may be a few more ancient existences, but that's all there are."

"These ancient existences are mysterious to us, but to the two Ancient Countries... the two Ancient Countries probably have long understood everything. Those who are skilled in curse killing, capable of reducing a Godly King of the First Realm to reincarnation, are probably very few on the Land of Origin."

Luo Feng looked at Morosa, "Don't harbor any delusions of luck."

"Once you take a risk, there's a chance of being discovered," Luo Feng said leisurely, "We've only been on the Land of Origin for sixty eras, what's the rush?"

"Oh."

Scolded by his master, Morosa could only obediently listen.

Luo Feng, due to soul enslavement, could feel Morosa's innate desire for destruction. It was the suppression at the soul level that made Morosa so docile.

"Forget the present, even if you become a Pinnacle Sector Beast in the future, you'll need my permission before you act," Luo Feng looked at him.

"Understood," Morosa obediently responded, "Master, rest assured, I got somewhat arrogant just now when my strength greatly increased. I've sobered up now."

"It's good that you've sobered up. Now show me the Great Dao of Destruction Origin that you've mastered," Luo Feng commanded.

"Yes," Morosa said.

Only then did Morosa begin to exhibit the Great Dao of Destruction Origin he had comprehended.

Boom~~~

In a daze, Luo Feng saw an endlessly vast, dark black hole. This dark black hole was surrounded by numerous solidified Secret Patterns that naturally expressed a plethora of information about the destruction of the origin.

"You, you..." Luo Feng was astounded. The countless Secret Patterns, incomprehensible to other cultivators, were laid bare for Luo Feng to read many messages from.

"You've mastered all six branches of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin?" Luo Feng couldn't believe it.

Although he had known that Morosa's natural growth involved the simultaneous development of all six branches of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin.

Normally, a cultivator becomes a Godly King by relying on one of the branches.

After all, there are differences in comprehension speed.

"Yes, I absorbed the corpse of the golden scale beetle, and as my realm naturally grew, I intuitively comprehended the complete six branches when the realm transformed," Morosa explained.

Luo Feng fell silent.

He had not mastered even one branch, finding it incredibly difficult to comprehend. But here was Morosa grasping the entire six branches of destruction at once.

"It's not difficult to master the six branches," Morosa said, "That's just the foundation! What follows is harder, as the six branches gradually fuse... and then I will need more food, or it will be slow."

Morosa looked at Luo Feng.

If the master didn't allow him to act, he would have to rely on the master to feed him.

"Mastering the six branches at once." Luo Feng was at a loss for words.

Even the creators of the "Eight Tribulations Life Form" and "Extermination of Seventy-Two Blades" believed that during the Primal Chaos Realm stage, it was best to focus on two or three branches.

Only after becoming a Godly King should one slowly expand.

"No more thoughts on that." Luo Feng was unwilling to view the growth of a Sector Beast from the perspective of a cultivator any longer, after all, it was an existence destined to reach the Ultimate Realm of God King.

Luo Feng closely observed the enormous dark black hole before him.

This vast black hole covered a large area of this layer of the Star Tower. The six branches of destruction served as the six keystones of this vast black hole universe! The six branches also complemented each other.

Even though they had not begun to fuse yet, just the coordination of the six keystones made the operation of this vast black hole universe incredibly perfect.

"It's too perfect," Luo Feng was shocked inside.

A normal Godly King, by relying on a complete branch of the Great Dao, could form the Cosmic Operation Laws and even create a universe with it.

And this was a 'realm' formed by the perfect collaboration of six branches, its perfection in cosmic operation made Luo Feng marvel.

"This must be the operation of the 'realm' inside Morosa..." Luo Feng observed, "Compared with it, both the Trinity form and the Ten Directions World form seem too primitive."

Trinity form, Luo Feng knew of two kinds, one where a large particle contained two internal yin and yang particles, the other where three particles of equal status merged with each other. Both were considered very primitive forms of small worlds.

The Ten Directions World form, on the other hand, was considered to be a relatively complete form of small world.

But before him was a 'realm' constructed of six branches, overwhelmingly impactful.

"Six branches as the foundation to form a realm..." In this shock, Luo Feng's understanding of 'realm' greatly improved, and he immediately gained a clearer understanding of the 'primitive small world form' of Trinity.

Emperor Chu was right, studying more advanced life world forms and then simple ones yielded great results.

Luo Feng, after consuming the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit and comprehending the foundation of a Sector Beast's life – the 'realm,' now looked at the Trinity form and indeed found many of his confusions resolved.
