Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin Chapter 223 Season 5, Episode 20: The Monarch's Tour

At the entrance to the sacred land "Tianhe," one could see an illusory river. However, if one truly flew into it, they would find that this river was infinitely vast! The depths of Tianhe, too, had no end.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

Deep in Tianhe, there was a Flying Boat. Inside the boat, a figure covered in hair sat cross-legged, naturally absorbing the water of Tianhe into his body, nourishing his Primordial Bloodline.

"Emperor Tian Kun and the others really are persistent, still blocking around the periter," Yu Shui Country Master scoffed, "But they don't have the guts to co deep into Tianhe."

On Emperor Tian Kun's side, there were six formidable beings, who were not only searching for Tianhe treasures and cultivating in Tianhe, but also blocking off key areas.

Yu Shui Country Master was also very patient.

It wouldn't matter if it was over a hundred eras, or even a thousand; Yu Shui Country Master had the patience to wait it out.

"Just keep enduring. If I can advance further and comprehend the 'Ultimate Realm Secret Technique' from the Primordial Bloodline, then I'll be able to take on all six of them by myself," Yu Shui Country Master looked forward to making further progress.

But they all knew how difficult it was to make such progress, as not even eons of ti had allowed them to advance further. How difficult it was to break through!

"Brother Yu Shui, 'Lan Duo Monarch' from Thunder Ancient Country has entered Tianhe! Run away!!!" Suddenly, a ssage ca through.

Yu Shui Country Master received the ssage and his heart trembled.

"This is bad!"

In an instant, Yu Shui Country Master packed up the Flying Boat and without any hesitation, dove deeper into Tianhe!

"Rumble rumble rumble~~~" The deeper areas of Tianhe were fraught with peril, filled with lurking terror, but at this mont, Yu Shui Country Master fearlessly burrowed deeper!

Suddenly, he spotted an underwater mountain range. Yu Shui Country Master imdiately wanted to approach it, but as he got closer, invisible fluctuations began eroding his body, causing it to rapidly disintegrate.

"Go." Yu Shui Country Master tossed the God King Grade Secret Treasure Flying Boat he held. This secret treasure, which contained all his gains from Tianhe over the long eons, resisted the mountain range's fluctuations and proved to be much tougher than Yu Shui Country Master's body, ultimately landing within the mountain range.

Whoosh.

Yu Shui Country Master imdiately turned to flee in another direction.

He fled frantically, but after rely flying for a dozen or so breaths, he sensed a terrifying power had already locked onto him from afar.

"Lan Duo Monarch," Yu Shui Country Master looked up, this terrifying power locking onto him, and he also saw the source of that power... a towering figure clad in water-blue robes.

His entire body was covered with blue and white scales, three scaled tails, his appearance sacred, his gaze cold and indifferent as he looked directly at Yu Shui Country Master.

Through causality, he easily locked onto Yu Shui Country Master.

Even though they were separated by an imnse distance, being within the sa range of Tianhe allowed Lan Duo Monarch to cast a glance, bringing an endless majesty down upon him.

"Whoosh—"

Yu Shui Country Master's body was tough and full of vitality, constantly absorbing the water of Tianhe to sustain himself, but under the overwhelming majesty, he was already half destroyed in less than a breath's ti, and in less than a breath's ti, Yu Shui Country Master's body was completely annihilated.

"All the treasures hidden away?" Lan Duo Monarch took a glance then imdiately continued hunting other targets.

Tianhe seed vast, but the actual safe areas were quite limited. Lan Duo Monarch, very familiar with these areas, patrolled them one by one, wanting to scout almost all of the major safe zones within Tianhe.

"Monarch."

"Greetings to Lan Duo Monarch."

Within Tianhe, the ancient Godly Kings, especially the independent ones and the Guest Elders from Fla Wind Ancient Country, were extrely respectful upon sensing this monarch's power.

The Royal Family Godly Kings from both great Ancient Countries were not implicated, and the Guest Elder Godly Kings from Thunder Ancient Country were spared as well! As for the others? Any other Godly Kings that this Lan Duo Monarch found, he exterminated without exception!

"It's Lan Duo Monarch from Thunder Ancient Country!" Emperor Tian Kun received the news, and he and his companions were so frightened that they frantically dove deeper into Tianhe.

Emperor Tian Kun was a Guest Elder of Fla Wind Ancient Country! Lan Duo Monarch would not spare him either!

In just a short mont.

Lan Duo Monarch patrolled near where Emperor Tian Kun was, and his intangible domain had already locked onto Emperor Tian Kun.

"It's over." Knowing that the terrifying power had locked onto him, Emperor Tian Kun realized it was over, he even knew that begging for rcy would be futile.

Emperor Tian Kun's body was also annihilated.

...

Within Tianhe, the bodies of over ninety percent of the ancient Godly Kings, mainly the solitary ones and the Guest Elders from Fla Wind Ancient Country, were destroyed under Lan Duo Monarch's patrolling. Only a handful managed to escape, either due to their impressive escaping abilities or by leveraging the environnt of Tianhe.

In this patrol by Lan Duo Monarch within Tianhe, both Yu Shui Country Master and Emperor Tian Kun truly died. Of Emperor Tian Kun's five companions, four also perished, with only one luckily evading death.

******

Huyang City.

"What?" Luo Feng also received the news.

"No help for it, just bad luck to run into Lan Duo Monarch from Thunder Ancient Country!" Yu Shui Country Master transmitted.

Luo Feng had never ventured to Tianhe, "I've heard that the environnt in Tianhe greatly assists those of the Water Origin Bloodline, but repels other Great Dao forces? The only ones from the two Ancient Countries with the Water Origin Bloodline are 'Emperor Xuan' and 'Lan Duo Monarch', I presu."

"Right, it's those two. They have accumulated a profound foundation and rarely co to Tianhe now," Yu Shui Country Master sighed, "but once they do visit, they will patrol the area. Aside from the Imperial Clan of the two Ancient Countries and Guest Elders of our own country, all others will be eliminated without exception."

Luo Feng nodded, "The environnt in Tianhe is indeed not easy to hide in."

Like the Dream Domain, which has a vast amount of space, and each space exists independently! One can only be discovered if in the sa space. Naturally, the safety there is much higher.

Like Infinite Space, where one must carve out their own Great Dao, even when Emperors enter, they also possess the sa physical bodies and their strength is significantly weakened. This makes it much safer for the scattered cultivators.

There are many treasured places that offer so protection to the weak. It's just that the protection varies in strength, and the disadvantage of Tianhe is that the safe areas are easily discovered, while the danger zones deep within... are difficult to enter.

"Fortune and disaster are interdependent," Yu Shui Country Master transmitted, "Tianhe is a treasure land for us, and there aren't many crises normally! The dangers of Tianhe… actually co from other cultivators. Encountering an Emperor or Monarch can only be chalked up to bad luck."

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Luo Feng asked.

"No need, the Emperor of Tian Kun also lost his True Body this ti," Yu Shui Country Master replied with a chuckle through a voice transmission, "he doesn't have the guts to co back and cause trouble either. I can sense that, of my six enemies, five have had their True Bodies destroyed."

Everyone had suffered massive losses, so Yu Shui Country Master felt more at ease.

Luo Feng inwardly sighed.

Just one Monarch's patrol was sufficient to sweep through everything in their path!

And the Fla Wind Ancient Country had thirteen Emperors, while Thunder Ancient Country had nine Monarchs!

On the side of the scattered cultivators, those in the Ultimate Realm included the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms and the Sector Beast, and only a few like the Wind City Empress and Mother River Master were able to match the level of Emperors. Over half of these beings were on good terms with the two Ancient Countries!

Although there were many scattered cultivators, their top-level fighting power was too inferior.

And this was without counting the Ancestors of the two countries above the Godly Kings and the Ancestor of the East Extre Domain, who rarely took action.

"No wonder the scattered cultivators each hide in the shadows, or even join forces established by the three Alien races," Luo Feng mused in secret. With the guidance of those three Alien races, the scattered cultivators were able to compete with the two Ancient Countries for resources.

There was also a silver lining.

Their biggest competitors were each other, the Emperors and Monarchs! This gave the scattered cultivators a chance to breathe.

...

In the treasured land 'Infinite Space'.

Above a vast and misty lake stood a small island, where an Avatar of Luo Feng was cultivating.

Ever since Morosa reached the Second Realm of Godly King, able to manifest the complete Great Dao of Destruction Origin, Luo Feng's cultivation in the 'Great Dao of Destruction Origin' had also entered an Eruption Period.

All his past accumulations were transforming.

"Whoosh." A Dark Chaotic Hole appeared in the center of Luo Feng's palm, filled with an unbelievable level of resilience and density of life. Inside the hole, forces swirled as countless condensed dark Blade Lights circulated and rged continuously.

"Five lineages unite."

"Chaotic Hole Undying Light."

Luo Feng watched as a blade light, substantial in form, was born within the dark Chaotic Hole.

The blade light's might was terrifying beyond belief, far more dreadful than the strongest move Luo Feng used against Morosa during their sparring when he wielded the Bloodshadow Knife with one-third of a World Life Form's strength.

"The Chaotic Hole Undying Light has reached Perfection," Luo Feng looked at the blade light forming within the hole in his palm, barely believing it, "The first Godly King Second Realm Secret Technique I've conceived is actually from the Life and Death Dao Branch."

Yes.

The Chaotic Hole Undying Light was a concept Luo Feng had fashioned long ago, originating from the 'Path of Destruction's Heaven Splitting Lineage, Dark Heaven Lineage, Mixed Heaven Lineage', then integrating 'Origin of Life' and 'Life Spirituality' from the Great Dao of Life and Death—five major branches in total. With Luo Feng's realm's growing achievents, the integration and perfection of these five branches had been ongoing.

Just monts ago, Luo Feng had unknowingly fused these five branches into this move 'Chaotic Hole Undying Light' completely.

The 'Twenty-Four Forms' and 'Unity Secret thod' he was pondering were theoretically the limit for Godly King First Realm to create.

But now, the 'Chaotic Hole Undying Light' was a fusion of five branches from two Great Daos!

"Life, Destruction, Life and Death... Three Great Daos, yet it's the Life and Death Dao that I've first created a Godly King Second Realm technique for," Luo Feng pondered with a hint of lancholy.

Of course, creating a Secret Technique does not an one has reached the Second Realm of Godly King.

One must master the essence of 'Dao' thoroughly to truly break through.

Just as Emperor Gui Xu and Wuxin God King had occasionally created Ultimate Realm Secret Techniques by chance! But fully mastering the 'complete Great Dao' was still far off.

Nevertheless, as a move fully rging the five branches, it was already quite remarkable among the Godly King Second Realm... After all, the Great Dao of Life Origin and the Great Dao of Destruction Origin were comprised of six branches each.

Even the techniques currently controlled by Morosa were not as profound as Luo Feng's 'Chaotic Hole Undying Light'!

"Life and Death..." Luo Feng sat cross-legged on the grass, murmuring to himself as Spirit Light flickered in his mind.

For the first ti, with the conception of the Godly King Second Realm's Life and Death Secret Technique, Luo Feng's understanding of the Great Dao of Life and Death underwent a transformation.

In this mont.

Various 'Life and Death Dao Branches' gradually started to take shape in the depths of Luo Feng's heart.
