Chapter 235: The Decision of Two Ancient Kingdoms | Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent [Trans]
Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent [Trans] - Updated on April 9, 2025
Within the territory of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom lies the sacred ground, ‘Thunder Mountain’.
All nine Monarchs have either their true bodies or avatars residing here. Thunder Ancestor spared no expense in setting up a terrifying array, making this the most dangerous place in the entire Origin Continent.
It’s even more formidable than any capital city of the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom.
“Whoosh.”
The wind blew, and a figure in a black robe and golden mask appeared at the foot of Thunder Mountain.
“The Emperors of the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom reside separately, but most of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom’s rulers gather here.”
Luo Feng looked up at the sacred mountain, where endless thunder and lightning spread throughout the mountain range. “Deep within this Thunder Mountain, there should be a Thunder Origin Grand Dao hidden.”
Although the Supreme Rules of the Origin Continent do not include the Thunder Grand Dao among the nine Origin Grand Daos,
Luo Feng’s mind and will allowed him to sense the hidden Thunder Grand Dao within the sacred mountain.
The Primal Universe can contain a Life Origin Grand Dao!
The Realm Beasts also contain a Destruction Origin Grand Dao!
It is understandable that the Thunder Ancestor, with his methods, could conceal a Thunder Origin Grand Dao here.
“Hmm? A black-robed, golden-masked expert!”
“That mysterious black-robed, golden-masked expert has come to Thunder Mountain?”
The Thunder Mountain array covers a vast area. Though Luo Feng appeared to be merely at the foot of the mountain, he was already within the observation range of Thunder Mountain, and several Monarchs were immediately alerted.
Endless thunder gathered at the foot of the mountain, eventually coalescing into an old man in white robes. Lightning still danced around him, each strike carrying a power that surprised Luo Feng.
“Among the nine Monarchs of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, I heard that three belong to the Thunder lineage,” Luo Feng thought. “Thunder lineage Monarchs can unleash incredible power from their Chaos Source bloodline.”
Like the white-robed old man before him, the naturally dispersing lightning, each strike possessed the power of a Guixu Emperor or a Witch Heart Divine King.
In terms of Chaos Source bloodline exploitation, the Thunder lineage is the strongest in the Origin Continent. Their cultivation methods allow them to be more lucid and better exploit the power of their bloodline, and even their treasures are highly compatible with their bloodline.
“I am Leifu,” the white-robed old man said, smiling at Luo Feng. “I’ve long heard of the Black Robe’s fame.”
As he spoke, an invisible will spread out, silently invading Luo Feng.
Luo Feng’s mind and will were vast and profound. Upon a slight touch, the white-robed old man immediately withdrew his mental probe.
“Your mind and will can surpass the Divine King level, admirable,” the white-robed old man said with a smile.
“The Thunder lineage of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom is recognized as the strongest in the entire Origin Continent in terms of Chaos Source bloodline cultivation. Who would have thought that even their mind and will techniques are so extraordinary?” Luo Feng praised.
“You overpraise us,” the white-robed old man said. He was very curious about the identity of the black-robed, golden-masked expert before him.
After all, in the entire Origin Continent, there are very few whose mind and will surpass the Divine King level, even fewer than Emperors and Monarchs.
And they are very effective against Emperors and Monarchs who cultivate Chaos Source bloodlines!
In front of Luo Feng, these Emperors and Monarchs who cultivate Chaos Source bloodlines, even if they can maintain clarity with the help of treasures and ultimate lifeforms, will suffer a significant loss of power!
Some Emperors and Monarchs with weaker mind and will may even find it difficult to maintain clarity normally. Once attacked by Luo Feng’s mind and will, they are likely to lose control.
“Monarch Leifu, I happened to obtain a rare treasure, the ‘Thousand Dream Fruit’,” Luo Feng said. “I wonder if the Thunder Ancient Kingdom is interested?”
“Thousand Dream Fruit?” Monarch Leifu said with a smile. “Of course, we are interested.”
“I want to exchange it for parts of the corpses of ultimate Chaos Source bloodline creatures,” Luo Feng said. “The more corpse materials, the better, and they can come from different ultimate Chaos Source bloodline creatures.”
Upon hearing this, Monarch Leifu was surprised. “Corpse materials? Even if you obtain some materials, you cannot extract a complete Chaos Source bloodline. The Ancestor finds it very difficult to extract ultimate Chaos Source bloodlines.”
“I know. I only need some corpse materials,” Luo Feng said. “I have also contacted the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom and the three alien races. Whoever provides the most corpse materials is who I will ultimately trade with.”
“Negotiating with five parties simultaneously?” Monarch Leifu nodded slightly. “Very well, we in the Thunder Ancient Kingdom will discuss this internally.”
It is normal for such high-level treasures to be negotiated with five parties simultaneously.
“I hope that the Thunder Ancient Kingdom can give me an answer within three days,” Luo Feng said, throwing out a talisman. “Contact me through this talisman at that time.”
“We in the Thunder Ancient Kingdom are willing to pay a great price for the four most precious items,” Monarch Leifu said, accepting the talisman. “Rest assured, we will give you a very satisfactory offer.”
Luo Feng nodded and then disappeared silently.
Monarch Leifu watched this scene.
“The avatar has completely annihilated itself, and even the contact method must be through a talisman? A very cautious Black Robe.”
Monarch Leifu looked at the talisman. He was very curious about the identity of the black-robed, golden-masked expert, but Luo Feng was obviously very careful, making it extremely difficult to investigate his identity.
“I have contacted Monarch Leifu and Emperor Dixuan at the same time, and now I am just waiting for the results,” Luo Feng thought in Huyang City.
Emperor Dixuan has a clone technique, and because he is extremely aloof, he cares about his reputation.
On the contrary, many Emperors entrust many things to Emperor Dixuan, and Emperor Dixuan disdains doing things that line his own pockets.
Therefore, it is also easy to find Emperor Dixuan’s clone.
“I wonder what conditions these two will offer.”
Luo Feng said he was negotiating with five parties, but in reality, he was only negotiating with two.
Within a majestic hall on Thunder Mountain,
the nine Monarchs sat separately, either in their true bodies or as avatars.
“Everyone,” Monarch Leixiao, the current ruler, looked around and said, “Just now, the black-robed, golden-masked expert wanted to sell us a ‘Thousand Dream Fruit’. Because the price of the Thousand Dream Fruit does not exceed 3 billion merits, there is no need to report it to the Ancestor. We nine can decide it collectively.”
The two Ancestors and the three alien races value four types of treasures the most.
For the first two, the remains of special lifeforms and the secret techniques left by Yuan, the two Ancestors will personally negotiate, paying great attention to them.
What about rare treasures worth more than one billion merits? For those under 3 billion merits, the Monarchs can decide collectively.
For those above 3 billion merits, the Ancestor will personally negotiate.
For innate treasures, the Monarchs first determine the value. If it surpasses the mysteriousness of the secret patterns of ‘Thunder Mountain’, it will be reported to the Ancestor.
Otherwise, the Monarchs can decide, after all, treasures lower than Thunder Mountain are of little use to the Thunder Ancestor.
“Is it true that the Black Robe’s mind and will surpasses the Divine King level?”
“His mind and will is so strong?”
The Monarchs were not too concerned about the rare treasure, but rather about the strength of the black-robed, golden-masked expert.
“I used a mind technique to try to contact him,” Monarch Leifu said. “It can be determined that his mind and will indeed surpasses the Divine King level.”
“This kind of expert is the most troublesome.”
“Another one has emerged.”
Many Monarchs of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom were quite unhappy.
This kind of expert is too effective against them!
Perhaps only the three Monarchs of the Thunder lineage are better off. They are lucid enough, and their strength is estimated to be reduced slightly.
“Let’s talk about serious business,” Monarch Leixiao said. “That Black Robe said that he needs ‘corpse materials of ultimate Chaos Source bloodline creatures’. They can come from different creatures, and the more the better. He is negotiating with five parties simultaneously, and whoever gives the most is who he will ultimately trade with.”
“What does he want these corpse materials for? These scraps cannot be used to extract a Chaos Source bloodline.”
“To feed Realm Beasts?”
“To use these materials to cultivate his physical body?”
“To study the mysteries of the materials and comprehend the Grand Dao?”
“This Black Robe has a strong mind and will, perhaps he wants to use these materials to strengthen his physical body! If both his physical body and mind are strong, then he will be even more difficult to deal with.”
The Monarchs had various speculations.
Ultimate Chaos Source bloodline corpses have many uses, but a small amount of incomplete materials has fewer uses.
These Monarchs did not care about the Thousand Dream Fruit, but they cared very much about whether the strength of the “black-robed, golden-masked expert” would be further enhanced.
“Everyone, let’s talk about serious business,” Monarch Leixiao said again. “A Thousand Dream Fruit is all it is. Give him two or three tenths of the corpse materials is enough.”
The Monarchs did not care. Even if they exchanged for the materials, they would eventually give them to the Thunder Ancestor.
The Thunder Ancestor did not give them much reward.
“The three alien races transport materials from other source worlds to our Origin Continent, so what they bring are precious items. Either treasures surpassing the Divine King level, or a well-extracted Chaos Source bloodline, or a complete Chaos Source bloodline corpse. Like this low-value “a small amount of corpse materials of ultimate Chaos Source bloodline creatures”, even if they bring them, they will not bring too much.”
“Yes, the remains brought by the three alien races are generally the remains of low-level Chaos Source lifeforms.”
“This Black Robe only needs “incomplete corpses of ultimate Chaos Source bloodline creatures”. The three alien races cannot give him much.”
On the contrary, the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom may take out a lot of incomplete materials.
A small amount of corpse materials cannot be used to extract a complete bloodline, and can only be thrown into the treasury.
“Two or three tenths of the corpse materials is indeed enough.”
They were unwilling to give too much, for fear of making the black-robed, golden-masked expert stronger.
“Then let’s make it three tenths.”
Monarch Leixiao made a decision. Look for books on Xiu Ting
In the treasure vault, the remaining incomplete corpses from two ‘ultimate’ Chaos Source bloodline creatures accounted for 12% and 17% of the corpses, respectively!
A total of 29%!
To put it nicely, it is equivalent to 30% of a corpse’s materials.
In the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom, the twelve Emperors were also discussing this matter.
“The Thousand Dream Fruit was indeed obtained by the Black Robe,” Emperor Jiufeng said. “In my opinion, there is no need to give him too much. He is using the Thousand Dream Fruit to exchange, obviously he needs ‘ultimate Chaos Source bloodline’ creature materials very much. What he needs, we must give less of.”
“The Ancestor does not value a Thousand Dream Fruit too much.”
Emperor Kong also said.
“Hmph.” Emperor Daiqiu said coldly, “The four treasures are all needed by the Ancestor. Although the Thousand Dream Fruit is of slightly lower value, we Emperors can decide collectively. But… the Ancestor will eventually investigate our collective decisions every time! If you are so careless, who will bear the consequences if the Ancestor is furious? In my opinion, at least we must give a condition that will not anger the Ancestor.”
“At least we should not anger the Ancestor.”
Emperor Shixi also said.
“I think two or three tenths is about right,” Emperor Chu said. “Two or three tenths of the ultimate Chaos Source bloodline corpse, the conditions are definitely not low.”
“We must choose from different corpses,” Emperor Yan said. “Otherwise, he might have a special secret technique to extract a bloodline.”
The Emperors were discussing.
Emperor Fu looked at this scene.
“Everyone,” Emperor Fu finally opened his mouth. “There are now incomplete materials from three ‘ultimate Chaos Source bloodline corpses’ in the treasury. All added up, there are a total of 50% of the corpse materials. I think we can take them all out and buy this Thousand Dream Fruit.”
“All?” Everyone present looked at Emperor Fu.
