Chapter 222: The Killer's Identity | Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent [Trans]
Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent [Trans] - Updated on April 9, 2025
Huyang City, in the City Lord’s mansion, on a tower.
Luo Feng sat alone, drinking wine: “The sudden deaths of the three rulers of the Shi Kingdom, especially a powerhouse at the level of the Heavenly Kun Ruler, will definitely lead to a thorough investigation by the two great ancient kingdoms! Next, it depends on their capabilities.”
The results of the investigation by the two great ancient kingdoms would determine his own course of action.
“What?”
“They’re all dead?”
Of the five God-Kings in the Shi Kingdom, the only remaining ones, God-King Liu Yu and God-King Ku Feng, were able to confirm through causal perception that the three more powerful rulers of the Shi Kingdom had all died. This left them in a state of shock!
Three rulers died instantly, while the two weaker God-Kings remained alive.
“Regardless of whether the Heavenly Kun Ruler reincarnated or not, being able to kill him silently requires the level of an Emperor Lord or Ruler,” God-King Liu Yu thought with alarm. With the Heavenly Kun Ruler’s powerful origin bloodline, even if a Gui Xu Emperor Lord made a move, it would probably cause a cataclysmic event, and the Heavenly Kun Ruler could hold out for quite a while.
Like before, when the Heavenly Kun Ruler and his companions joined forces against the Yu Shui Ruler, they spent countless years without success.
This showed…
Killing an existence at the level of the Heavenly Kun Ruler, even forcing him to reincarnate, was an extremely difficult task.
“What should I do?” God-King Liu Yu felt uneasy. She only had one true body. She had pledged allegiance to the Shi Kingdom with her entire nation, and her clan also thrived within the Shi Kingdom’s territory.
“Investigating the deaths of the three rulers will probably lead back to me.” God-King Ku Feng acted swiftly, “Evacuate those who can be evacuated immediately.”
God-King Ku Feng had many clones, naturally having multiple escape routes. He controlled several cities in the Arctic Ice Plains! When he was invited to join the Shi Kingdom, he only brought a portion of his clan. Now, he quickly began the evacuation.
They were both feeling panicked! They sensed that the deaths of the three rulers of the Shi Kingdom held hidden dangers. If they were affected, they would have no power to resist.
“Shi Kingdom Royal Capital.” A white light figure appeared in the Shi Kingdom Royal Capital, his entire body composed of white light, expressionlessly overlooking the city. At this moment, the entire city turned gray, and countless living beings remained motionless.
The entire world seemed to have paused.
The white light figure walked through the paused Shi Kingdom Royal Capital, entered the palace, and walked into the great hall.
The Heavenly Kun Ruler was sitting there, while the Yi Xiu Grand Saint respectfully presented a food bottle.
“Hmm?”
The white light figure watched this scene, and with a thought, a huge quicksand slowly flowed behind him, and the surrounding scene began to move.
The Heavenly Kun Ruler reached for the food bottle, but suddenly—the Heavenly Kun Ruler and the Yi Xiu Grand Saint’s eyes instantly dimmed.
“Instant kill, with no ability to resist. Heavenly Kun probably didn’t even have time to reincarnate.” The white light figure observed, “Is it a will secret technique? Or an attack targeting the soul? The Origin Continent’s supreme rules restrict the upper limit of all power! Whether it’s energy, matter, causality, or will… the power has an upper limit.” “Within the power limit, being able to achieve this, there are no more than ten in the entire Origin Continent.” The white light figure pondered.
“This Heavenly Kun Ruler has always been cautious. Although he is tyrannical towards the surrounding kingdoms, he never dares to offend truly powerful existences.” “Who killed him?”
“Moreover, simultaneously killing the three rulers of the Shi Kingdom?”
“Did he have grudges with all three rulers?” The white light figure pondered.
Time continued to flow, and the corpses of the Heavenly Kun Ruler, the Yi Xiu Grand Saint, and countless living beings within the food bottle all disappeared.
“He used soul or will-based methods and should be nearby.” The white light figure flew over the entire royal capital, carefully examining all the living beings within the surrounding area at that time.
“Hmm?”
The white light figure’s eyes lit up, and he fully activated the treasure bestowed by the ancestor. The huge quicksand phantom behind him quickly expanded and spread, covering the entire royal capital area almost in the blink of an eye.
Two figures that were originally difficult to observe also appeared under the shroud of the quicksand phantom.
A black-robed, long-haired man wearing a gold mask stood in the sky above the royal capital, coldly looking down at the palace. Beside him was an old man without any life aura, easily identifiable as a puppet.
“Hmm?” The white light figure was shocked, carefully observing the black-robed, gold-masked man.
Even when observing the traces left in the past, the white light figure felt that the black-robed man’s aura was deep and unfathomable, and there was an eerie sense of great terror! It even made him feel alarmed!
“Such an image, such an aura, I’ve never seen it before.”
The white light figure was secretly shocked, “Where did such a terrifying existence come from in the Origin Continent?”
As one of the nine Rulers of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, ‘Ruler of Heavenly Light’, he knew of very few powerhouses he didn’t recognize. Previously, there was only the mysterious powerhouse in Shadow Sky Realm, possessing Emperor Lord-level combat power, whose identity no one knew.
And now, there was another one.
“He took that bottle, the bottle contains countless living beings, can trace the cause and effect of living beings, may have found.” The white light figure tried to trace, he watched the food bottle, saw some living beings in the food bottle, naturally produced cause and effect.
Weak cultivators can’t hide cause and effect, and tracing with cause and effect will lead to discoveries.
“Hmm?”
“These weak cultivators were all released in the wild, and they all regained their freedom?” The white light figure was surprised, “It seems that this mysterious powerhouse is quite compassionate towards the weak.”
The white light figure shook his head slightly. It was difficult to investigate further at this point.
“This mysterious powerhouse also brings a puppet servant.” The white light figure also observed the old man beside the black-robed, gold-masked man. The old man was transformed from a puppet, and no trace could be found.
“It’s strange to bring a servant out to do things.” The white light figure smiled and left in one step.
The entire Origin Continent, the two great ancient kingdoms jointly formulated the order! Any possibility of threatening the ‘order’ will be carefully investigated. Now, they are focusing on the hidden strongmen of the three alien races, as well as the five strongmen such as the Wind Capital Empress and the Lord of the Mother River.
And today, they found that another mysterious powerhouse needs their attention.
“Emperor, I went to the past timeline, the murderer should be this black-robed golden mask man.” Emperor Jiu Feng said and showed the scene he investigated.
The Emperor watched.
“He also brought a puppet servant.” Emperor Jiu Feng said, “It can be determined that he is not the ultimate realm, nor does he have a secret treasure of space-time, so I can spy on him. But his strength should be very terrifying.”
“It’s very unusual.” The Emperor looked at this black-robed golden mask figure, the looming sense of great terror would alarm the Emperor Lord and Ruler.
“I don’t know where such a strong man came from.” Emperor Jiu Feng shook his head, “The feeling he gave me is more terrible than the five of the Earth God King.”
The Emperor nodded: “There are quite a few existences who have reached the peak of the second level of the God King Realm. They just lack resources. Maybe one of them… got resources, so they took that step.”
“From his killing of the Heavenly Kun Ruler, he should be good at soul-type methods or will-type methods.” Emperor Jiu Feng said, “That is to say, he can probably instantly kill anyone below the Emperor Lord and Ruler. He is much more terrible than the five of the Earth God King.”
“Hmm.” The Emperor nodded, “He hides his identity, he should not want to openly fight with the two ancient kingdoms.”
“Emperor, can you deduce the secrets of heaven and find out his identity?” Emperor Jiu Feng asked.
“Can’t find out.” The Emperor shook his head, “Deducing the secrets of heaven also requires enough information. The information of this mysterious powerhouse is too little.”
Emperor Jiu Feng nodded slightly.
“My Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom tried everything possible, but could not kill the Lord of the Mother River. I feel that this mysterious powerhouse is more difficult to deal with than the Lord of the Mother River. The two ancient kingdoms may not be able to do anything about it.” The Emperor smiled, “It may be a good thing that his identity cannot be found out.”
“The Lord of the Mother River can escape, but it doesn’t mean that this one can also escape.”
Emperor Jiu Feng said.
The Emperor did not say more.
Emperor Jiu Feng left immediately.
“Who are you?〞
The Emperor looked at the black-robed golden mask figure in front of him, quite curious, “Is it Pu Xin? Is it Luo He? Or is it Di Ming?
This mysterious powerhouse does have very few traces, but there are not many in the Origin Continent whose soul and will types are expected to reach this step. Based on many aspects of deduction, the Emperor does have three suspects.
Pu Xin, a mysterious and low-key God King of the second level, rarely participates in disputes, and only occasionally accepts apprentices in the illusion. Two of his disciples are God Kings of the second level, one of which is the Witch Heart God King.
Luo He, at the Chaos Realm stage, was the ultimate realm of the will of the God King, and the Emperor has been observing Luo He.
Di Ming… As the highest achiever in terms of will in the Origin Continent, his will power has long reached the upper limit set by the supreme rules. Moreover, he has also obtained the inheritance left by Yuan, and he has been obsessed with studying the robbery beast, and he has also studied the image of a certain primordial life, and it is very easy for him to disguise some of the terrifying feelings of the primordial life.
“Who is it? Pu Xin, you have endured for so long, are you really going to make a move?” The Emperor was very curious, “Or is it the terrifying Luo He? Or is it the great terror ‘Di Ming’ that I can’t predict?”
The Emperor is not surprised by anything Di Ming does.
Even if Di Ming completely killed seven or eight Emperors and set off a bloody storm in the entire Origin Continent, the Emperor would think it was normal.
Because this is very much in line with the nature of ‘Di Ming’.
Di Ming is very similar to the robbery beast!
Once you turn your face, you will kill all your companions!
Huyang City, City Lord’s Mansion.
Luo Feng has long ordered detailed information on ‘Heavenly Kun Ruler’ from the Yanfeng Guild Hall, and now he has also received the information, but this information is relatively expensive.
“Yanfeng Guild Hall, found the murderer who killed the Heavenly Kun Ruler?” Luo Feng carefully checked the information.
There is a segment of video in the information.
A black-robed, golden-masked, long-haired man and a puppet old man.
“Unknown mysterious powerhouse? Bringing a puppet?” Luo Feng smiled, the change of formlessness and intangibility is indeed difficult to crack within the scope of the supreme rules.
“The detailed cause of death of the Heavenly Kun Ruler requires an additional 1 billion universe sand?” Luo Feng did not buy it again. He knew very well that since the other party could find out his image, he should know that the Heavenly Kun Ruler’s body was intact.
It can be inferred that it is an attack targeting the soul and mind.
“Luo He, Luo He!” Ruler Yu Shui sent a message, “You know about the death of the Heavenly Kun Ruler, right?”
“Of course, I know.” Luo Feng responded.
“The Yanfeng Guild Hall and the Thunder Chamber of Commerce publicly sold information, saying that it was a soul-type or will-type attack that killed the Heavenly Kun Ruler. The Heavenly Kun Ruler should not have been able to reincarnate.” Ruler Yu Shui excitedly sent a message, “This mysterious powerhouse, below the Emperor Lord and Ruler… can probably instantly kill.”
“Brother Yu Shui, I feel that you are gloating a bit.” Luo Feng said.
“The two countries’ ancestors, the ancestor of the East Pole Region, Emperor Qing, the Lord of All Worlds, the world beast, and Di Ming, there are already some who can instantly kill us in the Origin Continent. It doesn’t matter if there is one more.” Ruler Yu Shui smiled, “I am happy because Heavenly Kun is completely dead, and it is estimated that he could not reincarnate, it is really happy!”
The Shi Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom are adjacent, and the Heavenly Kun Ruler and the Yu Shui Ruler have been fighting for too long.
“Luo He, the territory you lead is close to the Shi Kingdom, and the Shi Kingdom is now masterless, you can completely take the entire Shi Kingdom!” Ruler Yu Shui said, “I will definitely fully support you!”
