Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Luo Feng nodded, "Master, how much do you estimate it would cost to buy some materials for the 'Twenty-four Forms Life Form'?"

"This life form with the Primordial Bloodline is extremely valuable, a single portion of a refined complete bloodline... for a Ke Qing God King exchange in the Flame Wind Ancient Country, it requires a billion Merit Points," Emperor Chu said. "As for a small amount of materials? They generally don't sell in small quantities. Even Thunder Ancient Country would not sell them in pieces."

Luo Feng said, "I do not need to refine a complete bloodline, what I need is to comprehend the life form! A partial corpse would be enough for me, is that possible?"

"A complete corpse can be refined into three to five portions of complete bloodlines, depending on the refining capability," Emperor Chu said. "If you do not need to refine, they can directly sell you one-third of a corpse, saving the cost of refining as well."

Luo Feng understood.

One-third of a corpse of a Primordial Bloodline Creature with the Twenty-four Forms Life Form costs a billion Merit Points?

For beings like the Emperor of Tian Kun and the Master of the Shi Kingdom, amassing treasures to gather a billion Merit Points is also extremely difficult. Because with each adventure, it's uncertain when one might fail, and if the True Body dies, there would be a considerable loss.

"A billion Merit Points is too high. It's the highest exchange level for a Ke Qing God King," Emperor Chu said. "In Thunder Ancient Country, you only need six hundred million Merit Points, which is much cheaper."

"I understand," Luo Feng nodded and smiled. "It's all very far from me, I can't afford them for now."

These materials were very important to Luo Feng.
Stay connected through empire

Without these materials, Luo Feng could only construct the Twenty-four Forms Life Form with Divine Power, and the power would be much less.

But if he got the materials and peered into their essence, changing into them with the Formless and Intangible, he himself could have the physical body of a 'God King Second Realm Primordial Bloodline Creature'! Those Primordial Bloodline Creatures did not utilize their physical potential fully. In Luo Feng's hands, who clearly comprehended the essence of physical life forms, he could naturally unleash their full potential. Even if his Physical Body's strength was slightly inferior to an 'Ultimate Realm Life Form,' the difference would not be much.

"I haven't even comprehended the first of my Twenty-four Forms yet, so there's no hurry," Luo Feng also had patience.

The essence must be clearly comprehended to transform with Formless and Intangible.

Moreover, 'Formless and Intangible' had one limitation. When Luo Feng became a Godly King and his body merged with the Supreme Rules... he realized that Formless and Intangible could only transform matter born within the Source World.

If it went beyond the range of the Supreme Rules, Formless and Intangible could not change.

And these Primordial Bloodline Creatures were indeed native creatures of the Land of Origin, bred and cultivated from true Primordial Life bloodlines by the two Ancient Countries through successive dilutions over generations.

"Here are two vials of Five-Colored Treasure Medicine, take good care of them." Suddenly, Emperor Chu stretched out his hand, and two black bottles appeared with swirling liquid within.

"Treasures worth twenty million Merit Points, I haven't even prepared," Luo Feng was surprised at his master's swift action.

"Whenever you are ready, just give them to me," Emperor Chu said indifferently.

Luo Feng immediately took them.

"With your many avatars, a reminder," Emperor Chu said, "the Five-Colored Treasure Medicine... must be consumed by your True Body. If a weak Avatar takes it, then the effects of the medicine will only influence that weak Avatar."

"I understand," Luo Feng nodded.

"You've been a Godly King for so long now, haven't you claimed the 'Extermination of Seventy-Two Blades' and 'Eight Tribulations Life Form' God King Second Realm inheritance?" Emperor Chu asked, because this was his promised gift to Luo Feng.

Once Luo Feng claimed it, the Merit Points would be automatically deducted from Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu naturally knew that Luo Feng had not yet claimed the inheritance.

"I know you went to Infinite Space, because in the Infinite Space Treasure Vault, you saw better Special Grade Inheritances and even perfect inheritances, so you were not in a hurry for 'Extermination of Seventy-Two Blades' and 'Eight Tribulations Life Form,'" Emperor Chu shook his head, "but an inheritance isn't necessarily better because it's higher class; the higher class ones are harder to cultivate. More importantly... the higher the class of the inheritance, the more Reward Points they cost in the Infinite Space Treasure Vault."

"To exchange for a First Realm Special Grade Inheritance as a Godly King is possible, but the Second Realm section would be around 3000 Reward Points, and the Ultimate Realm would require about 60,000 Reward Points! It's very difficult to earn Reward Points in the Infinite Space; even if you open up a new Great Dao that reaches the First Realm of Godly King, you are only rewarded with 10,000 Reward Points!" Emperor Chu said with emotion. "The Ultimate Realm section of a Special Grade Inheritance can be seen, but how many can afford to exchange for it?"

Luo Feng immediately understood a lot of information.

Opening a branch of the Great Dao, ten thousand Reward Points?

As an identity with the Primal Chaos Realm and Spiritual Will reaching the Ultimate Realm of Godly King, he, too, had received ten thousand Reward Points.

But just to exchange for an Ultimate Realm section of a Special Grade Inheritance needs about 60,000 Reward Points.

"Upper-class Inheritance is more accessible to obtain," Emperor Chu said. "At least it's a clear path to the Ultimate Realm."

"Disciple understands, I will go claim the two inheritances right away," Luo Feng responded.

...

That day, Luo Feng first went to the Inheritance Palace to claim the 'Extermination of Seventy-Two Blades' and 'Eight Tribulations Life Form' God King Second Realm sections, and also delivered treasures worth twenty million Merit Points to his master.

Emperor Chu immediately recognized that these treasures came from the Dream Domain, and he smiled without saying anything.

******

In the Quiet Room of the city owner's mansion in Huyang City.

Inside the Star Tower.

"Five-Colored Treasure Medicine." Luo Feng's Perfect Divine Body True Body looked at the black bottle in front of him. His Perfect Divine Body had long since recovered to its full state, and he was prepared to consume the treasure medicine with the Perfect Divine Body.

"Come, let's see just how powerful this treasure medicine made from the heart of a 'Sector Beast' above Godly King level is," Luo Feng pulled the cork, pouring it directly into his mouth.

Swoosh!

When the liquid swirled out from the black bottle, it radiated five-color radiance and even faintly revealed the phantom of a Sector Beast, a figure that had a seventy-percent resemblance to Morosa's True Body. The treasure medicine liquid all entered his throat.

"Hm?" As soon as it entered his throat, Luo Feng's face changed.

Boom, boom, boom~~~

As if a vast universe had exploded within him, an endless and terrifying might instantly swept through his body and even merged into his soul.

"This, this…" Luo Feng was immensely shaken. On his path of cultivation, he seldom relied on external substances, and he had never used anything at the level of the Five-Colored Treasure Medicine. At this moment, Luo Feng understood.

This Five-Colored Treasure Medicine had been well worth the purchase!

"I made the right choice, this treasure medicine was the right purchase."

"I am different now."

Luo Feng could clearly feel a mysterious network of veins appearing inside his Perfect Divine Body! This network seemed to be a new framework, transforming his Perfect Divine Body! While his strength and speed had only increased by about fifty to sixty percent, it was still far from the effects experienced by a World Life Form.

However, now that this new layer of veins was present within his Perfect Divine Body, Luo Feng felt as if he himself had changed.

"Boom~~~" With a gentle wave of his hand, countless Law Secret Patterns emerged, and the essence of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin flowed naturally with his movements.

"This world is too filthy, and the Source World too weary, it needs a thorough cleansing."

At this moment, Luo Feng could even sense an instinctual desire.

A desire to 'cleanse' the Source World thoroughly.

There were so many weak life forms; the greater their number, the less opportunity these weaker beings had to grow! By significantly reducing their numbers, weak life forms would have access to more abundant resources and nourishment from heaven and earth, becoming more elite and outstanding.

"Hm?"

"What am I thinking?" Luo Feng's Spiritual Will was ultimately strong, and he immediately sensed something was amiss.

"My soul has also been affected by the power of the Five-Colored Treasure Medicine." Luo Feng noticed a mysterious rune structure within his soul, maintained by the power of the Five-Colored Treasure Medicine.

This made Luo Feng's soul perfectly align with the Great Dao of Destruction Origin, so that every motion naturally manipulated the mysteries of destruction.

"From my physical body to my soul, everything has become perfectly aligned with the Great Dao of Destruction Origin, even giving me the instinct to 'cleanse the world.' However, as long as the will is strong enough, these instincts can still be suppressed," Luo Feng thought.

At this moment, Luo Feng also understood why Sector Beasts caused calamities and even destroyed all living beings.

Sector Beasts were born from the Great Dao of Destruction Origin! Compared to Luo Feng's current state, they were much more in harmony, for they had long since had 'cleansing the world' ingrained in their souls.

Only through soul enslavement could the instincts of Sector Beasts be suppressed.

"I'm now in a weakened state akin to a Sector Beast?" Luo Feng stopped pondering and started to focus on cultivation.

Because he could feel that both the vein network within his physical body and the rune structure within his soul were maintained by the power of the Five-Colored Treasure Medicine. Once it ended, this state would also come to an end.

Luo Feng first contemplated the Secret Techniques in the Special Grade Inheritance "Chaotic Hole Beast Body," of which he had already deduced three strikes.

The first strike took the longest time to understand, and because of it, Luo Feng had comprehended all six branches of the Path of Destruction. The second and third strikes came much quicker.

"Isn't it quite simple?"

With the foundation of the first three strikes, Luo Feng gave it some thought, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth strikes were all deduced in a moment, without any obstacles.

"My past understanding of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin was too naive."

"Destruction is not just destruction... it is also a form of cleansing, a rebirth." Luo Feng's perspective on the Great Dao of Destruction Origin had changed, and with this shift in perspective, the difficulty of comprehension instantly decreased.

Cleansing the world, clearing all things.

Just annihilate these impurities!

"Then I should try to deduce the strongest Secret Technique 'World Unification' that can be understood at the First Realm of Godly King, as recorded in the Special Grade Inheritance 'Chaotic Hole Beast Body'!" Luo Feng immediately decided.

For the Great Dao of Life Origin, Luo Feng had always been contemplating the "Twenty-four Forms."

For the Great Dao of Destruction Origin, Luo Feng decided to deduce "World Unification."

"World Unification..."

Luo Feng immersed himself in study, and a flood of insights surged forth.

Luo Feng soon encountered various obstacles, but his current state was exceptional, and he kept breaking through the hurdles.

"The World Unification Secret Method requires first establishing a 'foundation,' then defining the 'Six Paths.' Afterwards, with the perfect coordination of the Six Paths, everything can be brought to 'Unity.'" Luo Feng wrestled with the complex Secret Technique, gradually grasping the essence of the entire method.

Once he understood the essence, Luo Feng addressed the problems one by one and began to forge the foundation.

...

Time passed, and Luo Feng quietly cultured himself, disengaging from the conflicts of the Land of Origin, cherishing each day sustained by the Five-Colored Treasure Medicine.

Before long, three eons had passed.

"Hum."

Inside the Star Tower.

The power of the Five-Colored Treasure Medicine finally ran out, and the network within Luo Feng's Perfect Divine Body and the rune structure in his soul collapsed in an instant. Luo Feng immediately felt a sharp estrangement from the Great Dao of Destruction Origin, as the sense of being one with it was lost.

"Gone?" Luo Feng was somewhat lost and disappointed.

Having grown accustomed to the favor of the Great Dao, returning to his previous level of perception was naturally uncomfortable.

"In these three eons, my comprehension of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin has truly undergone a complete transformation!" Luo Feng reflected on the gains of those three eons, realizing the tremendous strides he had made.
