Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Luo Feng looked toward the only black fruit on the fruit tree in the distant cliff crevice, the Thousand Dreams Fruit that had been contested by five powerful individuals. Now, he alone stood there.

"The more critical the moment, the more cautious I must be. I can't let other powerhouses steal it in the end!" Luo Feng's Spiritual Will instantly spread out, enveloping the vast surrounding area to guard against any enemies who might silently come to snatch the treasure.

God King Zongfu and Di Jiufeng were each incredibly skilled in their escape techniques.

Only when his Spiritual Will covered a vast region did Luo Feng feel relieved.

"This battle also showed the difference in strength," Luo Feng reflected. "Among them four—without any treasures—Di Wu's weaker avatar was the weakest. Di Jiufeng and God King Zongfu were on par. The Purple-robed woman was the strongest! Without the "Lie Yuan Technique," I might not even be able to defeat the Purple-robed woman."

Even though his Spiritual Will was strong, without the "Lie Yuan Technique," the impact on the Purple-robed woman's mind would be greatly reduced, allowing her to unleash even stronger power.

"This is just one of her avatars."

"Once she utilizes her True Body combined with super secret treasures, her deterrence will dramatically increase."

Luo Feng pondered.

"This battle has also proved that my 'Heavenly Light Silver Shuttle,' a fusion of six branches secret technique, is comparable to the moves of the Ultimate Realm, not inferior to those of the Emperor. My 'Blood Dripping,' a fusion of seven branches secret technique, is even generally stronger than their techniques," Luo Feng contemplated, summarizing his experiences from this battle.

The Great Dao of Life and Death, as a fusion Dao, was strong in each branch.

Six Branches fusion was at the level of ordinary Ultimate Realm techniques.

Seven Branches fusion was evidently stronger than Ultimate Realm techniques.

"The Great Dao of Life and Death, if I could merge all nine branches, the power of such techniques would far surpass the techniques of a single complete Great Dao," Luo Feng thought.

Indeed, the power of the Great Dao of Life and Death far surpassed individual Dao of Life, Destruction, and Space.

While Luo Feng was in the Infinite Space Treasure Vault studying about perfect inheritances and special grade inheritances, he had already learned about the terrifying nature of the "Fusion Dao." For instance, the fusion of Time and Space forming the "Time-Space Dao" was unimaginably powerful...

Despite the Fusion Dao being extremely formidable and inclusive, the difficulty of cultivation was also much higher.

...

Luo Feng sat cross-legged, his Spiritual Will spreading in all directions, silently on guard.

He waited for about three days.

On that fruit tree, the surface of the black fruit suddenly intensified in purple gloss, its dazzling purple light illuminating the vast surrounding area and emitting a faint fragrance.

"It's maturing," Luo Feng, sitting cross-legged, immediately stood up and looked at the Thousand Dreams Fruit.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~~~" Not far from the cliff, there was noise from the water in the pond, and a black head emerged from the water, followed by a massive creature flying out of it.

"I've been waiting for you."

Luo Feng had already explored the surroundings; within this vast range, there was only this one native Dream Realm creature, and from its aura, it was still within his handling capacity. That's why Luo Feng had set his sights on this Thousand Dreams Fruit.

In the deeper regions of the Dream Realm, treasures worth over a billion Merit Points were naturally not limited to the Thousand Dreams Fruit. However, the creatures around those treasures were far too terrifying!

This was the only kind Luo Feng saw a possibility to pick for now.

"Go!" Luo Feng stood there, and suddenly rolling river water spread out, the vastness of a galaxy instantly enveloping the surrounding hundred billion kilometers, naturally binding and wrapping that black native creature.

"Roar—" The native creature resembling a turtle let out a roar, emitting endless cold air, which instantly froze a large amount of the silver river water surrounding it. Once free from the river's constraint, the massive creature charged toward the Thousand Dreams Fruit, but a drop of blood had contaminated its body surface.

Seven Branches Secret Method "Blood Dripping."

This single drop of blood swiftly eroded its entire body. The black native creature turned a blackish-red color and let out angry howls. However, under the erosion, its strength greatly diminished, and it was again bound by the endless river water. This time, it couldn't break free.

The roars continued, and the cold air erupted.

But the blood contamination and the river domain's restraint had already ensnared it.

"I hope there are no complications," Luo Feng muttered as he watched the Thousand Dreams Fruit, which emitted a fragrance, its dazzling purple light visible from a vast area of this space.

"Not good," Luo Feng frowned slightly as he saw a dense swarm of Red Scale Creatures approaching from a distance. Each of these Red Scale Creatures wasn't very powerful—merely at the ordinary Godly King Tier—yet their numbers were overwhelming, impossible to count at a glance.

"It's the Red Scale Species! I knew it wouldn't be easy to harvest the Thousand Dreams Fruit."

Luo Feng identified the opponents and felt he could still contend. Having spent over a century in the deep area of the Dream Realm, he was very clear about the strength of this Red Scale Species group. "Red Scale Species, seemingly countless, in reality, they all share one life, operating under a collective vague consciousness."

Luo Feng, basing his actions on past intelligence, immediately devised a plan.

He couldn't defeat the Red Scale Species, but he could delay them, delay until the Thousand Dreams Fruit was completely ripe.

"Buzz~~~"

The massive Red Scale Species swarmed in.

Suddenly, a grand surge of Galaxy Water enveloped them, restraining the Red Scale Species. But the creatures, united in strength, easily broke through the water's restraints, charging straight for the Thousand Dreams Fruit.

"Go."

Luo Feng used the massive World Life Form transformed into endless river water to block the Red Scale Species while also binding and entangling the massive turtle-like creature. Under Luo Feng's subtle guidance, the two forces collided.

The Red Scale Species' nature was to sweep through everything in their path.

They similarly ravaged the massive turtle-like creature, and in the blink of an eye, the creature was partially eroded, its body massively shrinking. The drop of blood from Luo Feng had already rapidly receded.

"Roar~~" The massive turtle-like creature roared unwillingly, trying to escape. But trapped under the surging river water, it couldn't break free. In just over a dozen breaths' time, it was completely eroded by the Red Scale Species, leaving no remains behind.

"That at least helped delay for a dozen breaths," Luo Feng slightly smiled and then immediately, with a thought, a drop of blood swiftly confronted the Red Scale Species, starting to erode them.

Hiss hiss hiss~~~

Several Red Scale Creatures were eroded, turning into part of the blood.

But many more Red Scale Creatures obliterated a vast amount of blood.

Both sides eroded and obliterated each other.

"Whoosh whoosh~~~"

The Blood Dripping Secret Method's erosion had some effect on the Red Scale Species. But their destructive power was terrifying, and Luo Feng's drop of blood, containing the energy reserve of a Perfect Divine Body, was now being rapidly depleted.

"The Blood Dripping Secret Method is too consuming," Luo Feng noted while keeping an eye on the Thousand Dreams Fruit, and closely monitoring the consumption of the Blood Dripping Secret Method.

In the time it took to drink a pot of wine, the drop of blood was completely exhausted, and the Red Scale Species had only dwindled by about one-thousandth of their size. The entire species swarmed toward the Thousand Dreams Fruit again.

"Seal!" Amid the vast silver river, a towering hand suddenly formed.

This towering hand, with a gloomy abyss faintly visible in its palm, directly enveloped everything below.

Heaven and earth twisted!

Everything shifted!

Imprison!

Suppress!

The entire Red Scale Species vanished in an instant. Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

Luo Feng appeared, looking at his left hand, where the 'Palm World' in his hand was imprisoning this Red Scale Species.

Over the centuries, Luo Feng, after contemplating the Star Tower Secret Patterns, had deciphered two Seven Branches Fusion Techniques. One was the Secret Technique 'Blood Dripping,' and the other was 'Cage'—capable of completely suppressing and imprisoning a space!

"This Red Scale Species is truly troublesome. My Palm World formed into a cage, inherently with multiple spatial seals. Yet this Red Scale Species managed to consume space, and even gnaw at the world membrane of my Palm World." Luo Feng immediately replenished his energy continuously to maintain the integrity of the Palm Cage.

"Although in terms of killing efficiency, the Palm Cage is somewhat inferior to Blood Dripping. When it comes to trapping enemies, its efficiency is several times higher."

Luo Feng deduced.

With the same energy consumption, the Palm Cage could trap the Red Scale Species for a longer duration.

"It's a pity I didn't dare to bring the Star Tower in here. If I had the Star Tower, I could have suppressed the entire Red Scale Species long ago." Luo Feng could only ruefully think about it; he dared not take the risk.

Risk-taking might succeed a hundred or a thousand times, but if it failed just once, the Star Tower would be gone!

All the treasures of the Dream Realm combined were, in his heart, less significant than the Star Tower.

Luo Feng, while watching the Thousand Dreams Fruit, maintained the integrity of the Palm Cage. Every moment, his body consumed a great deal of energy.

Suddenly—

The radiance of the Thousand Dreams Fruit converged, becoming utterly ordinary, and its fragrance completely restrained.

"It's finally fully matured." Luo Feng rejoiced. A stream of the vast river swiftly swept past the Thousand Dreams Fruit, harvesting it immediately.

A prepared Treasure Box instantly secured the fruit.

"Treasure in hand, time to go!"

Luo Feng's Palm Cage instantly released the Red Scale Species.

He himself, however, flashed with black light, having already escaped from this Dream Realm Space. The released Red Scale Species roamed angrily around, unable to find their foe and destructively eroding the surroundings.

...

Luo Feng arrived outside in the perimeter area of the Dream Realm, looking at the entrance areas sealed by the two Ancient Country's Imperial Clans.

"Whoosh."

With a flash of black light.

Luo Feng instantly crossed through the Sealing Array of the two Ancient Countries and out of the exit, and with another flash, he was already back within Huyang City.

This was one of Luo Feng's Six Branches Fusion Techniques, the 'Black Light Escape Technique.'

Luo Feng's Six Branches Fusion Techniques, aside from the earlier 'Great Extinction Style', the later deduced 'Heavenly Light Silver Shuttle' and 'Black Light Escape Technique', were similar, all exceptionally swift.

The speed was as fast as thought.

The thought arrived, the movement followed.

Thus, escaping the Heavenly Light Silver Shuttle was inevitable! Unavoidable!

The Black Light Escape Technique, in a single thought, moved from the outer layer of the Dream Realm to outside the exit, forcibly penetrating the entire formation. If it were in the Land of Origin, a single thought could move from one end of the Land of Origin to the other.

This was the might of the Ultimate Realm Escape Skill.

Each move of the Ultimate Realm had its exceptional qualities. Like the Wuxin God King's Hidden Heaven Escape Skill, even the formations of the two Ancient Countries in the Dream Realm couldn't detect it.

"Some powerful individual has forcibly crossed the formation." The two Ancient Country's Imperial Clans were all stirred, but given the limited strength of the garrison at the entrance of the Dream Realm—when even the Reincarnation Tower teams dared to make a strong assault—Luo Feng forcibly breaking out was something their formations simply couldn't stop.

Outside the exit of the Dream Realm.

A Purple-Robed woman stood in the distance, patiently waiting.

"Whoosh."

The Black-Robed man with a golden mask appeared instantaneously at the exit and then disappeared again in an instant.

"He's come out." The Purple-Robed woman watched the scene, "His escape skill has also reached the Ultimate Realm level, but his technique... carries a trace of the Path of Destruction."

"Who is he?" The Purple-Robed woman was quite curious.

Whoosh.

Silently, she disappeared without a trace.

...

Tianmu Kingdom.

Beyond the two Ancient Countries on the whole Land of Origin, the entities that could be considered first-rate powers included Tianmu Kingdom, Wanjie Kingdom, and East Extreme Domain. Of these, Tianmu Kingdom was the most low-profile.

"Whoosh."

The Purple-Robed woman arrived deep inside a palace where a handsome young man was observing a mysterious painting hanging in the air, with countless Secret Patterns flowing on it.

Whoosh.

The Purple-Robed woman directly transformed into a streak of light, flying into the body of the handsome young man.

"It's a pity that this attempt failed. I couldn't help big brother seize a share of the 'Thousand Dreams Fruit.'" The handsome young man looked at the mysterious painting and shook his head slightly, "As a Sector Beast, relying on one's own cultivation is truly difficult. This Secret Pattern Book is utterly beyond me; it's too hard!"
