Chapter 252: Star Tower, Out! | Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent [Trans]
Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent [Trans] - Updated on June 27, 2025
Di Qing stood there, countless sword lights naturally converging upon him. He himself seemed like a sword, and the vast Blood River, though mighty, could not corrode him in the slightest.
“Three Thousand Killing Formation — Pillar World!” At Di Qing’s thought, the sword formation immediately changed. Within the endless Blood River, pillars of sword light rose. Each pillar was incredibly majestic and infinitely tall, naturally propping up a vast world.
“Thirty-six pillars?” Luo Feng watched the scene before him in surprise.
In this vast world, thirty-six pillars supported the heavens, completely trapping the mighty and heavy Blood River.
“Brother Galaxy, this is a small insight I gained from comprehending the thirty-six pillars of the Pillar World, which I’ve incorporated into my formation,” Di Qing said with a smile. “How is its power, do you think?”
“Using thirty-six pillars as a foundation to prop up a world, this sword formation is indeed extraordinary.” Luo Feng felt the endless killing intent contained within the thirty-six sword-light pillars and laughed heartily. “However, my Blood River is not that simple!”
“Rise!”
Luo Feng’s immense spiritual will merged with the entire endless Blood River.
At this moment, the entire endless Blood River was like a giant python. The python suddenly lashed its tail! The entire Blood River roared as it whipped one of the sword-light pillars.
*Boom!* This sword-light pillar immediately trembled, and numerous cracks appeared.
“This Blood River conceals such profundity?” Di Qing was secretly startled. What seemed like a simple flick of the Blood River’s tail was actually an endless, continuous assault of power. The power limit in Origin Continent was not about a single burst of attack.
Instead, it was a continuous outburst—be it sharp strangulation, subtle infiltration, or the shattering of basic units. It was a continuous burst of power at the limit, combined with different profound effects. With just one tail whip, cracks had already appeared on the pillar.
*Boom, boom, boom!* The vast Blood River, like a giant snake, surged and lashed out wildly. The sword-light pillars began to collapse one after another, unable to hold firm.
“This power?”
“Is this the strength of Di Qing and the Galaxy Overlord?”
Other God Kings in Origin Continent watched this scene from afar, including the Emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom and the Monarchs of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, all feeling suffocated. The infinitely tall sword-light pillars and the vast, unrestrained Blood River were forces they could not resist.
“This is power beyond a God King.”
“Di Qing and the Galaxy Overlord are too terrifying.”
These God Kings trembled with fear.
The World Beast from Tianmu Kingdom also watched from afar: “No matter how hard I cultivate, I can’t break through the bottleneck. I just ate and drank my way to the Ultimate Realm, but then I’m forever stuck there. Compared to these two, I’m far too inferior.”
If one didn’t rely on their own comprehension and cultivation from the start, suddenly expecting to rely on themselves to go “from Ultimate to beyond God King” naturally has an extremely low possibility.
“Beyond God King?” The Myriad Realms Overlord also watched from afar. “On the foundation of a complete Grand Dao, one absorbs other profound insights and integrates them into their own Grand Dao, pushing it further. But this step is too difficult.”
A complete Grand Dao is already very perfect.
Integrating other profound insights often amounts to gilding the lily. The power would decrease rather than increase.
The Myriad Realms Overlord could indeed integrate some profound insights into his Grand Dao, slightly increasing its power, but it clearly couldn’t be called a qualitative change.
“Perhaps I should leave Origin Continent and explore other worlds,” the Myriad Realms Overlord thought.
Previously, in this era, only Di Qing was stronger than him. Now there was also the Galaxy Overlord. The Myriad Realms Overlord felt an urge to venture out.
Di Qing watched the vast Blood River, roaring and sweeping in all directions. Even his thirty-six sword-light pillars collapsed one after another, unable to resist this terrifying power. He couldn’t help but smile: “Brother Galaxy, the might of your Blood River is indeed extraordinary. I shall now unleash the strongest form of my Three Thousand Killing Formation — the Three Thousand Worlds.”
As soon as he spoke.
Billions of sword lights appeared, carrying endless profoundness, naturally forming a grand formation.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s expression slightly changed.
Within the vast surrounding area, a world filled with the chirping of birds and the scent of flowers appeared. It had endless land, a sky, rolling mountains, and even some ordinary creatures being born.
“Giving birth to living beings?” Luo Feng was very surprised.
“The Three Thousand Worlds can evolve all things in the universe. Although it’s far from operating like the supreme laws, it’s still a rudimentary understanding,” Di Qing said, appearing within this world and smiling as he looked at Luo Feng.
The endless Blood River, which almost traversed half of this world, was suppressed by an invisible rule. The entire world’s power was suppressing the Blood River, and even its churning became strenuous.
The entire world’s power was suppressing this Blood River.
*Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!*
Within the Blood River, sword lights flickered, annihilating strands of its power. But the Blood River was full of endless vitality; for every strand of power annihilated, another would naturally regenerate.
“My endless Blood River feels strenuous with every move; it’s completely suppressed.” Luo Feng was very surprised that the endless Blood River, which he commanded by activating the secret runes within the Star Tower, was actually suppressed.
“Brother Galaxy, your Blood River is truly profound. In terms of realm, it can be considered the early stage of a God-Emperor,” Di Qing said. “Under the power limits of Origin Continent, while I might have a slight advantage, I cannot harm you in the slightest.”
The Blood River, traversing half the world, possessed terrifyingly strong vitality.
“I didn’t expect to be suppressed within Origin Continent.” Luo Feng laughed heartily, “Brother Di Qing, I’m going to go all out now. You should also bring out your secret treasure.”
“Going all out?” Di Qing was startled.
Luo Feng stood within the endless Blood River and shouted.
Immediately, a dark, profound nine-story tower began to emerge from within the endless Blood River.
*Rumble, rumble, rumble!*
The moment this nine-story tower appeared, the surrounding Three Thousand Worlds began to tremble, and countless cracks appeared. The land, mountains, sky… everything was pulverizing.
When facing enemies previously, Luo Feng only activated the Star Tower’s secret runes to command his physical body to transform into the Blood River.
This moment marked his true command of the Star Tower itself in combat.
“This power?” Di Qing’s expression changed. He saw that the moment the nine-story tower appeared, it naturally corroded the Three Thousand Worlds, which then began to disintegrate.
“This is no ordinary secret treasure.” Di Qing sensed the terrifying nature of this secret treasure.
After the Star Tower emerged, it grew larger and larger, becoming immense and majestic.
As it appeared and continued to grow, it naturally caused the Three Thousand Worlds to collapse. It kept expanding, crushing everything around it. Di Qing’s Three Thousand Killing Formation could no longer be utilized.
Di Qing gazed up at this nine-story tower, which made his heart pound. “This secret treasure must have been refined by a Chaos Origin lifeform. Within Origin Continent, Infinite Space is the easiest place to acquire such secret treasures.”
While both were “beyond God King” level secret treasures, there was a vast difference between those refined by God Emperors like them and those casually crafted by Yuan and his peers.
Yuan and his peers had long transcended the cage. Even when they casually refined something, it could achieve rule-based effects. For instance, all attacks below the Chaos Origin lifeform level, including soul attacks and all other types, would be weakened by ninety percent.
Such “rule-based” effects were beyond what God Emperors could refine.
At this moment, Di Qing also felt an overwhelming sense of inherent rules emanating from the Star Tower. It was definitely not a secret treasure refined by an ordinary God Emperor.
At this moment.
All forces in Origin Continent saw this scene from afar.
The nine-story tower appeared. Its might had already reached the limit of Origin Continent.
Moreover, it possessed terrifying rule-based penetration and corrosion. Just by looking at it, one couldn’t help but feel fear and despair.
“What a treasure!” The three alien races eyed it greedily and were moved by desire. “It might be a secret treasure refined by Yuan.”
“Too bad it’s within Origin Continent.”
“Within Origin Continent, no one can snatch it.”
The three alien races also realized this.
Meanwhile, the other powerhouses in Origin Continent were completely stunned.
“The Galaxy Overlord’s strength can actually overpower Di Qing?”
“How can this nine-story tower be so terrifying?” Emperors and Monarchs alike trembled. “So when he killed Emperor Yuan, he wasn’t truly going all out. With this tower, his strength is terrifyingly greater.”
“Brother Galaxy, quickly put away your secret treasure,” Di Qing said, having already retreated far away.
Immediately, the Star Tower merged into the endless Blood River and disappeared.
The endless Blood River then condensed into Luo Feng’s form.
During his sparring with Di Qing, Luo Feng confirmed that Di Qing couldn’t harm his Blood River in the slightest. Only then did Luo Feng publicly display the Star Tower.
In the entire Origin Continent, there were too few opponents worthy of him deploying the Star Tower.
Luo Feng was also eager to test his might.
Di Qing took a step closer to Luo Feng, smiling as he looked at him: “Given Brother Galaxy’s talent, it’s only natural for you to obtain a powerful secret treasure left by Senior Yuan. I also once obtained a secret treasure left by Senior Yuan, but I took it to the outside world long ago.”
“In the future, when Brother Galaxy takes this nine-story tower to the outside world, you must be careful,” Di Qing reminded him, “because it’s very easy to be targeted by powerful alien experts.”
“Brother Di Qing, aren’t you afraid of it being stolen?” Luo Feng asked.
“Haha, just be careful,” Di Qing said. “There are quite a few secret treasures casually refined by Senior Yuan. For example, they can be exchanged within Infinite Space. And some treasure grounds like Pillar World occasionally produce secret treasures.”
Luo Feng understood.
Di Qing had mistaken Luo Feng’s Star Tower for one of the secret treasures redeemable within Infinite Space.
“The secret treasures exchanged in Infinite Space are all refined by Chaos Origin lifeforms, perhaps even by Senior Yuan himself,” Di Qing said. “Their value varies; the most valuable exceed 100,000 reward points, while ordinary ones are around 20,000 to 30,000 reward points.”
“Each secret treasure worth over 100,000 reward points can drive God Emperors mad,” Di Qing sighed. “Those worth 20,000 to 30,000 reward points are much more common.”
Luo Feng nodded.
The few treasures in Infinite Space valued at 100,000 points were all helpful for transcending the cage.
Luo Feng himself had never exchanged for a secret treasure, so he wasn’t clear about the difference between the secret treasures exchanged in Infinite Space and the Star Tower.
“For me, the Star Tower’s most important function isn’t combat, but aiding my cultivation.” Luo Feng understood this; comprehending the Star Tower’s secret runes was greatly beneficial to his cultivation of the path of life and death.
Therefore, even if he were to venture outside the Origin Worlds, Luo Feng had no plans to bring the Star Tower with him.
As long as the Star Tower remained in Origin Continent, no one would be able to snatch it.
“Brother Di Qing, have any cultivators exchanged for a secret treasure worth over 100,000 reward points?” Luo Feng asked.
“None in our Origin Continent, but there are in other Origin Worlds,” Di Qing smiled. “Senior Yuan left Infinite Spaces in many Origin Worlds. It’s widely acknowledged that 100,000 reward points in Infinite Space is a boundary. Every treasure that reaches this boundary is incredibly precious, even aiding in transcending the cage. Unfortunately, reaching 100,000 reward points is too difficult.”
Luo Feng agreed wholeheartedly. It was indeed very difficult.
His spiritual will breakthrough also earned him 100,000 reward points.
But one couldn’t possibly use all their reward points to exchange for just one treasure.
The special-grade and perfect-grade inheritances in the Infinite Space vault were also very appealing.
The scarcity of a secret treasure worth at least 100,000 reward points was imaginable.
