Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 139: God-King Level Morosa

During normal cultivation, there were occasional moments of excellent condition and sudden flashes of insight.

However, after consuming the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit, with its flesh nourishing his soul, Luo Feng could maintain an extremely perfect state, greatly enhancing his comprehension. Even his thoughts were two or three times faster.

Luo Feng began using the golden beetle carapace material and the perfect chaos-level creature materials, starting his dissection and research.

“If I can completely master the Spiritual Nature of Life and the Life Body branches, I can easily research the Trinity Form.”

“Relying only on the accumulation of the Chaos Peak level for these two branches is clearly not enough.”

Luo Feng understood this. He could only research it slowly.

The process of research was also a process of accumulation.

“Maybe I’ll become a God-King first.”

Luo Feng had a feeling that comprehending the Trinity Form was just as difficult as comprehending an entire branch of the Great Dao.

…

In the Origin of the Primal Universe, that special space within the Origin Land.

Luo Feng’s Divine Power Incarnation was also directly confronting the complete Origin Path of Life.

“Spiritual Nature of Life, Life Body.” Luo Feng carefully observed, realizing that the complete Origin Path of Life would present different appearances from different angles.

It could appear as a twenty-four-clawed winding dragon, or an eternal river running through space and time, or an infinite and towering divine body, or the origin of countless lives, or even the concept of life itself…

Luo Feng observed as his soul and will were continually baptized by the entire Origin Path of Life, bringing himself closer to the Dao.

“Trinity?” Luo Feng murmured, recalling the detailed information recorded in the **First Tribulation of the Eight Tribulations Life Form**, regarding the Trinity Form.

It felt as if it was within reach, but just a tiny bit out of grasp.

Cultivation was like this. Many peak Chaos-level beings, and even Chaos Realm transcendent beings, were stuck at the bottleneck, unable to master a complete branch of the Great Dao.

******

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

Since absorbing the golden beetle carapace, Morosa had been quietly cultivating here, fully focusing on digestion.

At this moment, Morosa had already returned to his true form, transforming into a tall, flawless being with pale skin. His appearance naturally carried an allure, as he was the favored one of the Destruction Path, and now he didn’t bother to conceal his power as a Boundary Beast.

At this moment, he was in his truest state.

“Buzz.”

Morosa’s aura suddenly trembled, and a terrifying wave spread outward from his internal “realm,” expanding in all directions. His body began to undergo a natural transformation, evolving from Chaos level to a higher level of life.

“I’ve broken through.” Morosa opened his eyes, filled with excitement. “Breaking through from Chaos level to God-King, this is a fundamental transformation.”

“My internal realm now has the prototype of its final form.” Morosa was thrilled.

The core of a Boundary Beast was the internal “realm.”

Every breakthrough in the level of life resulted in a transformation of the realm. And becoming a God-King marked the final transformation.

From the first stage of the God-King to the ultimate stage of the God-King (the third stage), the internal realm would continue to evolve until it reached perfection.

“I’ve only been on the Origin Continent for sixty eras, and I’ve already advanced to God-King. It’s much faster than I expected. All of this is because of the golden beetle carapace.” Morosa understood this very well. “The corpse of that golden beetle carapace is worth the equivalent of thousands of ordinary Chaos-level corpses.”

If he had to slowly absorb the power of the world to become a God-King, it would have taken far too long.

Suddenly—

A figure appeared beside him. It was Luo Feng. Whether through the perception of his soul slave or his connection with the Star Tower, Luo Feng immediately sensed Morosa’s transformation.

“You’ve broken through?” Luo Feng looked at the tall Morosa before him, who had reverted to a more simple and honest appearance, though his aura was now much more terrifying.

“Master, I’ve become a God-King,” Morosa said with a goofy grin. “It’s all thanks to the golden beetle carapace you gave me.”

Luo Feng nodded slightly. That had been a gift from his master, Emperor Chu. He had kept only one percent of the material for himself, giving the rest to Morosa.

“It seems it worked well.” Luo Feng was quite satisfied. His own cultivation and understanding of the Dao were painstakingly difficult, yet Morosa had simply coasted along and already become a God-King.

Morosa was equally pleased and said excitedly, “Master, now that I’ve become a God-King, my internal realm has the prototype of its final form, and I’ve gained many powerful abilities.”

“Oh?” Luo Feng looked at him.

“Even without revealing my identity as a Boundary Beast, I can still use many methods,” Morosa said confidently. “For example, I can now use a curse-killing technique with my internal realm. As long as I’ve seen the enemy once, I can curse them to death!”

“Curse-kill?” Luo Feng was taken aback.

He himself cultivated the Origin Path of Destruction, so he was very familiar with the many destructive techniques it contained.

For instance, the Black Sky Branch of the Destruction Path was skilled in assassination and curse-killing techniques.

“Even most first-stage God-Kings won’t be able to resist my curse-kill technique,” Morosa said confidently. “My curse can destroy all their avatars and survival methods, forcing them to reincarnate.”

Luo Feng was stunned.

Force most first-stage God-Kings to reincarnate?

“In addition to the curse in the shadows, I can also attack directly. My avatars can change forms and hide their aura,” Morosa said with confidence. “I can wreak havoc on the Origin Continent, secretly attacking enemies, and no one will be able to detect my identity.”

“Master, do you need me to take action?” Morosa was itching to move, having suppressed himself for too long. “With my curse-kill technique, they won’t even know who killed them.”

Luo Feng smiled and said, “Hold back.”

Morosa’s eyes widened.

He still had to hold back?

“Your avatars can change forms, and your curse-kill technique leaves no trace?” Luo Feng gently shook his head. “No matter how capable you are, you’re still only at the first stage of the God-King level. There are many beings stronger than you on the Origin Continent, especially in the two ancient kingdoms. How much do you really know about their methods?”

“Tracing causality! Tracing the timeline of past events… Do you really think you can hide?”

Luo Feng shook his head. “On the Origin Continent, there are only seventy-one Chaos Realm transcendent beings. The ancient beings are somewhat more numerous, but there aren’t that many of them.”

“These ancient beings may seem mysterious to us, but to the two ancient kingdoms… the two ancient kingdoms have probably already figured out everything about them. As for curse-kill techniques that can force a God-King to reincarnate, such experts on the Origin Continent are likely very few.”

Luo Feng looked at Morosa. “Don’t take any chances.”

“Once you take risks, there’s always the possibility of being discovered,” Luo Feng said leisurely. “We’ve only been on the Origin Continent for sixty eras. What’s your hurry?”

“Oh.”

Scolded by his master, Morosa could only obediently comply.

Because of the soul enslavement, Luo Feng could feel Morosa’s deep-seated desire for destruction. It was only because the soul enslavement suppressed that desire at the soul level that Morosa could be so well-behaved.

“Not just now. Even in the future, when you become a peak Boundary Beast, you’ll still need my permission before taking action.” Luo Feng looked at him.

“Understood.” Morosa obediently replied, “Master, rest assured. I was just a bit arrogant because my strength increased significantly. I’m clear-headed now.”

“Good that you’re clear-headed. Now show me the Destruction Path you’ve comprehended.” Luo Feng ordered.

“Yes.”

Morosa began to display the Destruction Path he had comprehended.

Boom~~~

Luo Feng seemed to see an endlessly vast, dark black hole, surrounded by countless tangible secret patterns, naturally interpreting numerous pieces of information about the Origin Path of Destruction.

“You, you…” Luo Feng was stunned. To others, these countless secret patterns might have been indecipherable, but Luo Feng could observe much information from them.

“You’ve mastered all six branches of the Destruction Path?” Luo Feng couldn’t believe it.

Although he had long known that Morosa’s natural growth involved the simultaneous development of all six branches of the Destruction Path,

normal cultivators would only become God-Kings by mastering one branch.

After all, comprehension always varied in speed.

“Yes, after digesting the golden beetle carapace, my internal realm naturally grew, and when it transformed, I naturally comprehended the complete six branches,” Morosa said.

Luo Feng remained silent.

He hadn’t even mastered one branch

, and his comprehension was extremely difficult. Yet Morosa had directly mastered all six branches of destruction at once.

“I can feel that mastering all six branches isn’t that difficult,” Morosa said. “This is just the foundation! The real challenge comes next, as the six branches must gradually merge… At that point, I’ll need more food, or the process will be slow.”

Morosa looked at Luo Feng.

Since his master wouldn’t allow him to act, he could only rely on his master to feed him.

“Mastering all six branches at once.” Luo Feng had no words.

Even the creators of **Eight Tribulations Life Form** and **Seventy-Two Slash Annihilation** believed that during the Chaos level, it was best to focus on just two or three branches.

After becoming a God-King, they could then slowly expand.

“I won’t think about it anymore.” Luo Feng no longer wanted to view the growth of a Boundary Beast from the perspective of a cultivator. After all, it was a being destined to reach the ultimate level of the God-King realm.

Luo Feng carefully observed the vast, dark black hole before him.

This immense black hole enveloped most of the space in this layer of the Star Tower. The six branches of destruction formed the foundation of this black hole! The six branches also complemented each other.

Although they hadn’t begun to merge yet, just by complementing each other, the six foundations allowed this black hole to operate with perfect harmony.

“It’s too perfect.” Luo Feng was deeply shaken.

A normal God-King could form the laws of a universe with just one complete branch of the Dao and even create a universe based on it.

Yet this “realm” was formed by the perfect combination of six branches. The way this world operated naturally left Luo Feng in awe.

“This should be the operation of the ‘realm’ within Morosa’s body…” Luo Feng observed. “Compared to this, both the Trinity Form and the Tenfold World Form seem far too simplistic.”

The Trinity Form that Luo Feng knew of had two versions: one where a large particle enclosed two smaller ones of yin and yang inside, and another where three equal particles fused together. Both were quite simple small-world forms.

The Tenfold World Form was a relatively well-developed small-world form.

But this “realm” formed by six branches was far more overwhelming.

“The six branches form the foundation and create a realm…” Luo Feng, in this state of awe, greatly deepened his understanding of the concept of realms and gained a much clearer understanding of the simple small-world forms in the Trinity Form.

Emperor Chu was right—studying more advanced life-world forms before researching simpler ones was indeed very effective.

After consuming the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit and comprehending the foundation of the Boundary Beast’s life, the realm formed by the six branches of destruction, Luo Feng now found that many of his previous confusions about the Trinity Form were easily resolved.
