Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 116: The Second Realm of the Divine King: ‘Spiritual Will’

Luo Feng gazed at the yellow feather inside the jade box. He could sense that the edges of the yellow feather were incredibly sharp and carried a trace of void fluctuations.

Di Chu Yu, standing beside him, smiled and said, “This feather belongs to the Golden Feather Divine Bird, which serves under the command of King Tiandu. It was naturally born in the Chaos Layer, and when it was first born, it was still very young, only possessing the mid-level strength of the Chaos Realm. Later, after being carefully nurtured by King Tiandu, fed with many rare treasures, it grew into its most perfect form, now capable of rivaling the peak of the Chaos Realm.”

Luo Feng was astonished, “Grew into its most perfect form?”

The chaotic creatures he had captured, such as the Silver Light Creature, were formed by the fusion of either hundreds or thousands of Silver Light droplets. These were still very immature. According to his transformation method, the limit for the fusion of the Silver Light Creature was one hundred and eight billion droplets.

This Golden Feather Divine Bird, although born with Chaos Realm strength, still had room to grow.

“I made a trade with King Tiandu’s daughter, the City Lord Lianyu, to obtain this Golden Feather Divine Bird’s feather,” Di Chu Yu said. “Because it was a voluntary exchange, this feather won’t self-annihilate.”

Luo Feng was grateful, “Brother Chu Yu, this is of great help to me, thank you.”

Whether it was practitioners, exotic beasts, or such Chaos Layer creatures with complete consciousness, if one wished to study their body materials, there were only two methods. First, annihilate the opponent’s consciousness, which naturally allows one to study the corpse. Second, if the opponent was still alive, they must be willing. Otherwise, with a single thought from the opponent, their blood or feathers would self-annihilate and disperse.

Moreover, the stronger the life form, the less willing they were to let others study their body materials.

“Haha, there’s no need for such politeness between us,” Di Chu Yu smiled. “I have a thirty-cycle protection period after becoming a Chaos Realm being, so both of us can cultivate peacefully. But once the protection period ends, I might need your help.”

“If there’s anything you need my help with, just say the word,” Luo Feng replied.

“During the protection period, there’s nothing you need to help with. Just focus on your cultivation,” Di Chu Yu laughed heartily. “I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now.”

Luo Feng immediately escorted Di Chu Yu to the entrance of his cave dwelling.

After Di Chu Yu left, Luo Feng immediately resumed his seclusion.

Regarding Di Chu Yu’s conflict with the other two First-Class Marquises, Luo Feng was indeed completely unaware! On the one hand, since arriving in Chu Capital, Luo Feng hadn’t made many friends because the waters of Chu Capital ran too deep. The seven First-Class Marquises were already the greatest rivals, not to mention the Emperor’s personal disciples, and the disciples of the Divine Kings… The various factions were far too complex.

During his rapid growth phase, Luo Feng preferred to cultivate in seclusion. He understood clearly that once his strength was sufficient, the so-called complex situation would quickly become clear.

On the other hand, the core of the Di Chu lineage’s management of various affairs lay with the seven First-Class Marquises. The conflicts among the seven of them were not discussed anywhere in Chu Capital! Guests who had witnessed the conflict dared not utter a word.

For the consequences of offending a First-Class Marquis could involve not just death but also implicate one’s family and forces.

Moreover, Di Chu Yu had deliberately kept it secret, not wanting these matters to affect Luo Feng. He naturally hoped that Luo He’s guest official would focus on cultivation and grow as strong as possible.

“Chu Ji Marquis and Chu Yuan Marquis are both at the peak of the Chaos Realm! Chu Ji Marquis has two guest officials, while Chu Yuan Marquis has one. Together, they have five at the peak of the Chaos Realm!” Di Chu Yu was well aware of the strength of the two. “There are also some Chaos Realm beings who follow them.”

Among the seven First-Class Marquises, only these two had joined forces, making them the most powerful faction.

“Brother Luo He is also at the peak of the Chaos Realm, but he is still isolated, while the other side has a total of five.”

“Moreover, Chu Yuan Marquis carries the bloodline of two ancient royal families and is heavily nurtured by the Old Ancestor. Among us seven First-Class Marquises, he is the most likely to achieve Chaos Realm Transcendence.” Di Chu Yu had to admit this.

Among the seven First-Class Marquises, Chu Yuan Marquis was the most ruthless and wanton, but he was also the most talented and the strongest.

At the peak of the Chaos Realm, unless there was a significant disparity, it was tough to kill an opponent outright. But there were still differences in strength, just as Luo Feng could suppress Marquis Liu Yin.

Chu Yuan Marquis, at the peak of the Chaos Realm, had never encountered a worthy opponent! Even the Emperor Old Ancestor recognized his talent.

“My current strength has already reached the top of the Chaos Realm,” Di Chu Yu murmured to himself. “When the protection period ends, my strength must advance further! Even if I don’t reach the peak of the Chaos Realm, I must at least ensure that Chu Yuan Marquis can’t defeat me.”

Di Chu Yu had his ambitions too.

In his youth, he had followed the Infinite Divine Body lineage! Naturally, he aspired to reach the level of a Divine King.

“Forcing me to yield? To give up so many resources? Without resources, how can I grow stronger?” Di Chu Yu’s eyes flashed coldly.

……..

Within Luo Feng’s cave dwelling, in the quiet chamber during his seclusion, in the first level of the Star Tower.

Luo Feng didn’t involve himself in the various factions of Chu Capital nor did he make friends; he was entirely focused on his cultivation.

“This feather?” Luo Feng looked at the yellow feather in front of him, lightly pinching and tugging it. “Incredibly tough, and the edge of the feather is like a sharp blade.”

With a thought, the yellow feather flew out and hovered in mid-air.

Luo Feng extended his hand, and a sharp glint appeared faintly on his fingertip.

“Swish.”

He lightly waved his hand.

A tiny bit of the feather’s edge was sliced off! Luo Feng even felt a slight resistance.

“My close combat is far stronger than the Galaxy Transformation Method at a distance, yet there was still some resistance when cutting off a small tuft.” Luo Feng mused, then grabbed the small tuft and exerted force.

The terrifying power that surpassed the peak of the physical Chaos Realm burst forth, completely pulverizing the small tuft into its most basic particles.

“What’s this?”

A small tuft, after being pulverized, turned into tens of thousands of particles.

“Also particles?” Luo Feng observed with a trace of confusion, noting that the surface of the particles bore some chaotic law secret patterns. At first glance, they seemed similar to particles from the Galaxy Transformation Method, the Black Abyss Transformation Method, and other transformation methods. “But their life spirituality is extremely strong! It’s a thousand, ten thousand times stronger than the life spirituality of my five transformation methods, a qualitative difference.”

“Why is its life spirituality so strong when it’s just particles like the others?”

“Whoosh.”

Luo Feng lightly waved his hand, slicing open a particle.

As the particle split, Luo Feng immediately saw clearly.

This particle contained chaotic law secret patterns, and inside it were two particles partially fused together.

“A larger particle encapsulating two smaller ones? The two smaller particles partially fused?” Luo Feng observed and continued to slice open the smaller particles. As they split, numerous law secret patterns appeared, and they began to completely disintegrate.

“Yin and Yang combination? Trinity?”

At that moment, Luo Feng understood the basic life structure of this most powerful Chaos Layer creature. He also realized why these particles could carry such powerful life spirituality.

“The Yin and Yang combination contains endless mysteries. It is divided into pure Yin, pure Yang, and the Yin-Yang fusion part.”

“And the Trinity further complicates the structure.”

Luo Feng sliced open another particle for closer examination.

Black and white could be considered Yin and Yang, life and death could be considered Yin and Yang, and matter and energy could also be considered a form of Yin and Yang.

Yin and Yang were a state.

Particles of the same origin displayed different states and yet perfectly fused.

“The combination of Yin and Yang is mentioned in the ‘Life Body Chapter’ of the First Tribulation of the *Eight Tribulations Life Form*,” Luo Feng drew upon his inheritance to understand.

The origin of unity, the combination of Yin and Yang, the Trinity, the Ten Directions World… The inheritance of *Eight Tribulations Life Form* described various forms of the ‘Life Body.’

“The Trinity is too complex, requiring higher demands on life spirituality and the life body. I’ll start with the simpler Yin-Yang state,” Luo Feng decided after understanding through the inheritance and began attempting to perfect his transformation method.

Swish.

Divine power transformed, turning into two droplets merging together.

But this combination appeared ugly, with only average life spirituality.

“The Yin-Yang state should complement each other.” Luo Feng dispersed it and tried again.

Time passed.

After countless attempts, each time learning from his failures, studying the inheritance, and slicing open the particles of the Golden Feather Divine Bird for close observation.

The Golden Feather Divine Bird under King Tiandu could sense its body materials being cut, but since it was a legitimate transaction, it could only let it happen

, unable to self-annihilate the feather.

“Swish.” After an unknown number of attempts, Luo Feng waved his hand, and two silver light droplets merged together with a certain life beauty, their life spirituality ten times stronger.

“This is the right feeling.” Luo Feng showed a look of joy and immediately began experimenting again.

At once, he transformed millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of droplets…

With his soul now strong, his Spiritual Will also stronger, Luo Feng’s transformation method became faster and faster.

Soon, 108 billion silver light droplets formed, with each pair merging together.

“Buzz.” A restrained silver light river formed. It looked ordinary, but Luo Feng could feel that his consciousness could integrate into it more strongly, and its power had increased several times.

“I’ve been in Chu Capital for so long, and finally, my transformation method has undergone a qualitative change.” Luo Feng was delighted.

“My Spiritual Will have now reached the threshold of the second realm of the Divine King, and I can control more Galaxy Blade Lights. The overall power of the Galaxy Blade Lights should be ten times what it was in Huyang City.” Luo Feng was quite pleased.

Just as the Spiritual Will of the Chaos Realm level gradually improved, there was a qualitative change only when advancing from the bottleneck of the Chaos Realm to the Divine King level.

The Spiritual Will of a Divine King also gradually increased, from the first to the third realm, all through slow accumulation. This accumulation was extremely difficult; even ancient Divine Kings found it hard to advance further over endless ages.

“My Spiritual Will could reach the threshold of the second realm of the Divine King, mainly due to the transformation of my life level,” Luo Feng knew.

When he was an Eternal True God, he already had the will of a Divine King.

After becoming a Chaos Realm being, with the growth of his Perfect Divine Body, his soul became stronger, and his Spiritual Will naturally had a short period of enhancement.

“Unless my life level further improves, reaching the level of a Divine King, which could help my Spiritual Will, otherwise… it will be a slow accumulation.” Luo Feng was very clear that normal accumulation and improvement were very slow.

During his time as a True God, his will had already reached the peak of the Chaos Realm. As an Eternal True God, he broke through to the Divine King level will, thanks to his Divine Body’s nurturing and the Tribulation Beast Diagram. As a Chaos Realm being, he made a small advance, reaching the threshold of the second realm of the Divine King. Progress became increasingly difficult.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
