Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 84: Blade Light Pierces the Void

Luo Feng was not surprised; he had long known that the Origin Continent was a brutal world, where tribes living in the wild might vanish without a trace one day. When those Chaos Overlords or ancient Divine Kings took action, it would bring about catastrophic destruction.

Regardless of the level of cultivators, there were merciful ones, indifferent loners, and those who slaughtered all living beings solely for their own benefit…

This was the natural order of the world, survival of the fittest.

“Those cultivators who slaughter all living beings for their own benefit are nothing but scum! Destroying these scum is also a part of the natural order,” Luo Feng thought to himself, “But my abilities are limited.”

Even ancient Divine Kings could not influence the order of the Origin Continent.

At this moment, Morosa and Moyu Qingyan were both waiting for Luo Feng to make a decision.

“Qingyan.” Luo Feng looked at Moyu Qingyan, “Where are the rest of your family?”

“My father is in the City Lord’s Mansion, which is now sealed off, so he can’t return,” Moyu Qingyan explained. “My elder brother and his family are at home. My sister-in-law is pregnant and is also resting at home.”

“The situation is dire now. I plan to leave the city,” Luo Feng said. “Would your family be willing to leave the city with me?”

“Alright.” Luo Feng then looked at Morosa. “Rosa, you should go to the Dream Flower Pavilion and rescue the Pavilion Master, Aloya, and their companions.”

Morosa’s eyes lit up, and he immediately transmitted his thoughts: “Master, if I make a move in the city, the Heart Shadow Sect and the City Lord’s Mansion will notice. How much of my strength should I reveal?”

“Show strength equivalent to Elder Xin Yan, but you can use more formidable methods. Just control the power,” Luo Feng transmitted back. The outside world had long suspected that he was an elite trained by a powerful force.

Especially since he had rejected the recruitment by the Yuguo Kingdom’s ruler, various factions had speculated that he had an impressive teacher and believed that Morosa was his guardian.

So, let the outside world’s suspicions be confirmed!

“Understood.” Morosa had long wanted to take action, and with his master’s permission, he could now reveal some of his fangs.

“Begin the operation.” Luo Feng waved his hand, collecting Moyu Qingyan.

Luo Feng and Morosa simultaneously flashed and disappeared.

…

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

Moyu Hu was alone in a room.

“Third brother.” When Moyu Hu received the news, his heart was in agony. After his wife’s death, the three children were the most important to him in the world. He valued them more than his own life.

His friendship with Luo Feng and the treasures he obtained were all used to secure opportunities for his children.

Now, his third son was gone.

“I’ve always known this world is like this.” Moyu Hu’s heart was filled with intense hatred. “But I can’t take revenge.”

“That’s the Heart Shadow Sect! A force that even the entire Jiugang Chaos State cannot contend with.” Moyu Hu felt pain and helplessness. Even the mighty Jiugang Marquis was trying to gather strength, so what could a small Void True God like him do?

“My greatest fortune was getting to know Divine Lord Luo He.” Moyu Hu thought, “I hope Divine Lord Luo He can safely take Liefeng and Qingyan out of Huyang City.”

******

In the Moyu family’s cave residence.

“Heart Shadow Sect!” Moyu Liefeng stood by the lake, tears in his eyes, his face twisted with rage. “You killed my brother. I, Moyu Liefeng, swear that I will stop at nothing for revenge! Even if it takes millennia or eons, I will never give up!”

Among the three brothers, Moyu Liefeng, the eldest, was the most talented, the most fierce, and had the strongest killing intent.

The third brother was the most reserved, only wanting to cultivate quietly, but he was the first to fall.

In this world, just wanting to cultivate quietly didn’t mean you could.

Suddenly—

A black-robed figure stepped out of a ripple in the void, appearing above the cave residence.

Seeing this, Moyu Liefeng immediately bowed respectfully, “Divine Lord! We are all ready!”

Luo Feng nodded, waving his hand to collect all the living beings and structures of the Moyu family.

“Next, it’s the nine blacksmith shops. Brother Shang, this is all I can do for you.” Luo Feng thought.

Whoosh.

With a step, Luo Feng traversed the void and disappeared.

Even though the Heart Shadow Sect’s dark formation exerted stronger spatial suppression, Luo Feng’s understanding of space had reached profound depths. Especially since he possessed the ‘Void Origin Tree Leaf,’ it not only made him more attuned to space but also brought him new insights through constant observation.

…

After the dissolution of the Tianyan Sect, the disciples scattered.

Some joined other forces, while others established their own blacksmith shops. The largest of these was the nine blacksmith shops, one of which was the ‘Moyu Blacksmith Shop,’ established by Moyu Liuxing and his wife, Mo Youchang. It covered an area of tens of millions of kilometers.

The Moyu family had a solid foundation in Huyang City. The father served Vice City Lord Magili Meng, the eldest son was the personal disciple of Eternal True God Zhu You from the Zhu Clan, and the second son was the servant of Divine Lord Luo He, who had only two servants by his side.

As a result, many former Tianyan Sect disciples followed ‘Moyu Liuxing and Mo Youchang.’

“Take all the treasures.”

In the Moyu Blacksmith Shop, the Heart Shadow Sect disciples were taking all the weapons, secret treasures, and stored materials, leaving not a single chaos stone behind.

“Whoosh.”

A figure suddenly appeared in the blacksmith shop, none other than Luo Feng, who had traversed the void to arrive.

“Who dares to intrude on the Heart Shadow Sect’s restricted area?” The surrounding Heart Shadow Sect disciples were startled, and the three massive mechanical secret treasures floating in the sky also turned their attention toward him.

Luo Feng ignored them, instead looking at the many blacksmiths, apprentices, and customers in the shop, all of whom stood there, not daring to move.

“Divine Lord Luo He.” Most of these blacksmiths and apprentices were from the Tianyan Sect and naturally recognized Luo Feng.

“How did Moyu Liuxing die?” Luo Feng asked.

“Who are you?”

An angry shout came from outside.

“Shut up! That’s Divine Lord Luo He!” The previously agitated Heart Shadow Sect disciples quickly fell silent.

Luo Feng ignored the outside commotion and focused on the blacksmiths.

One burly blacksmith spoke up immediately, “Divine Lord, today, the Heart Shadow Sect disciples suddenly arrived and, without saying a word, pointed their fingers, killing many blacksmiths, numerous apprentices, and many customers, terrifying the entire blacksmith shop into silence. Only then did the Heart Shadow Sect announce that all treasures and materials in the blacksmith shop were to be seized, and all Void True Gods had to surrender their treasures and be searched.”

“Moyu was the owner of the blacksmith shop. He merely asked if we could hand over the treasures without being searched…” The burly blacksmith said with grief and anger, “But just as he started speaking, the leader of the Heart Shadow Sect pointed again, and Moyu, along with the surrounding blacksmiths, apprentices, and customers, were all annihilated.”

“You dare speak out!”

At this moment, three figures entered from outside, led by a figure in a purple robe. Beneath the purple robe, his divine body seemed to be made of black liquid, his gaze icy cold. He looked at Luo Feng and respectfully greeted him, “Heart Shadow Sect disciple ‘Chan Wuqi’ greets Divine Lord Luo He.”

“Was it you who pointed twice and slaughtered many beings in the blacksmith shop?” Luo Feng looked at him.

“It was me,” Chan Wuqi said. “The Heart Shadow Sect is merciful. This time, we are only collecting war funds from Eternal True Gods and Void True Gods. To make the collection smoother, we naturally had to intimidate them.”

“He’s the one who killed Moyu,” the burly blacksmith’s eyes were filled with madness.

“It was indeed me.”

Chan Wuqi nodded, “I was doing my job, and he dared to speak out on his own. He was courting death!”

Chan Wuqi felt this was entirely justified.

Slaughtering a few Void True Gods and True Gods was just a matter of a breath, nothing significant.

“So that’s the reason.” Luo Feng understood.

Luo Feng raised his hand and lightly pointed.

Buzz!

An invisible blade of light descended, instantly obliterating Chan Wuqi’s divine body. As he died, Chan Wuqi’s eyes widened in disbelief, thinking, “This Divine Lord Luo He actually dared to kill an Eternal True God of the Heart Shadow Sect openly! Does he intend to become our enemy?”

This scene stunned the other Heart Shadow Sect disciples, who immediately retreated in fear from the blacksmith shop.

Before coming to Huyang City, they had known of Divine Lord Luo He’s reputation, knowing he was not someone ordinary disciples could oppose.

“Whoosh.”

Luo Feng waved his hand, collecting all the living beings in the blacksmith shop, including the customers.

At this critical

moment, Luo Feng didn’t have time to ask their opinions. If they wanted to return, he could personally bring them back after the war.

…

In this commercial district, three massive mechanical secret treasures floated in the sky, along with nineteen large flying boats. Numerous Heart Shadow Sect disciples were looting the various commercial forces. With Luo Feng’s arrival, all the Heart Shadow Sect disciples present became tense.

“Divine Lord Luo He is here!”

“Chan Wuqi Shishu has been killed!”

These Heart Shadow Sect disciples were panicking.

In the sky, the three massive mechanical secret treasures also began to approach the Moyu Blacksmith Shop. They were all shocked by Divine Lord Luo He’s direct action!

After all, the Heart Shadow Sect had always shown respect to Divine Lord Luo He. Neither Divine Lord Luo He nor his two servants were people the Heart Shadow Sect would offend.

But…

The relatives and friends of a servant?

Friends that Divine Lord Luo He had made?

Luo Feng had lived in Huyang City for over thirty thousand years and had met many friends, almost all of whom were Eternal True Gods. Some were close friends, while others were just acquaintances. The Heart Shadow Sect couldn’t possibly let them all go. As for the relatives and friends of servants, the Heart Shadow Sect cared even less.

“Divine Lord Luo He, you dared to kill our Heart Shadow Sect disciple…” One of the massive mechanical secret treasures, covered in dark green scales and nearly humanoid with eight arms, spoke.

“Whoosh!”

A dazzling and terrifying blade of light instantly tore through the sky, creating a dark fissure in space, directly slicing through the massive mechanical secret treasure. The treasure shattered into pieces, and most of the disciples inside were instantly killed! Among them, all eleven Eternal True Gods who commanded the treasure perished.

This scene left the numerous Heart Shadow Sect disciples stunned, their hearts filled with dread.

“Flee quickly.” The surviving disciples from the shattered mechanical secret treasure fled in terror. The two remaining massive mechanical secret treasures escaped the fastest.

Luo Feng walked out of the blacksmith shop, looked up at the sky, and coldly said, “I was doing my business, and you dared to speak out? You’re really courting death.”

Luo Feng’s words echoed through the void, clearly heard by the fleeing Heart Shadow Sect disciples.

As he watched the massive secret treasure fall from the sky, Luo Feng waved his hand to collect it. Then, with a step, he traversed the void to the next blacksmith shop.
