Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent [Trans] - Updated on April 10, 2025
As the master of the Abyss Elephant Palace, possessing two and a half paths at the Primal Chaos level and having been tormented by pollution for so long without yielding, he would naturally not give up easily.
“Esteemed elders, as you all know, the situation is dire.” The Abyss Elephant Palace Master transmitted his voice, “Currently, outside Rainwave City, there is a massive army of low-level Primal Chaos lifeforms surrounding us. To escape this encirclement, only a handful of individuals in the entire city are capable! At least, I am not.”
The three hundred-odd elders also understood this point; if they were to flee, they wouldn’t be able to!
The Forge Utensil Palace Master, who had long been crafting weapons and treasures, felt that the Nine Rivers Holy World was much safer than the Dark Holy World. This was his base for forging, and the numerous treasures he had accumulated represented most of his wealth, which he couldn’t afford to lose. That was why he had purchased escape items at any cost.
The other elders were not as wealthy as the Forge Utensil Palace Master! And they weren’t confident in escaping with the life-saving items they possessed.
“If we can’t escape, then we’ll defend to the end.”
“I’ve already requested assistance from the Dark Holy World! This time, a Beyond-Limit level Bewitching Mind Worm has appeared. A team of cultivators from the Dark Holy World has already set out, and they will need over a day to reach Rainwave City.”
“As long as we hold out for a little over a day, we can win!” The Abyss Elephant Palace Master was telling the truth.
The cultivator team consisted of three members, each no less powerful than the Abyss Elephant Palace Master in his prime. They needed to first reach the teleportation lake in the Dark Holy World.
Then, they would travel from the teleportation lake in the Nine Rivers Holy World to Rainwave City. Even with their speed, the total time would take a little over a day.
“The 92 elders of the Constellation Array, continue to intercept the infiltrator teams.” “The rest of the elders, quickly disperse more clones. If an infiltrator team discovers you, the clone should immediately self-destruct. We need to buy as much time as possible.” The Abyss Elephant Palace Master issued the orders.
“Yes,” all the elders responded.
In fact, the Forge Utensil Palace Master could have also dispersed multiple clones to buy some time, but he was unwilling to gamble! Because facing the pursuit of ‘King’ and other terrifying existences, a moment’s delay would mean the destruction of all his clones and the loss of his treasures.
But now, the elders in the city either had no choice or disdained to flee, so they were doing everything they could to delay.
Rumble!
The Constellation Array, having lost the Forge Devour Palace Master, had its power reduced by a third. But at this moment, the entire array’s might was focused solely on three of the 39 elite infiltrator teams.
With the array’s power concentrated, these three elite teams suffered casualties.
“King, these elders are too cunning; they directly self-destruct their clones as soon as they discover us. They have other clones!”
“The array’s power is too great; three of our core members have already died!”
“King, our team is only at 60% strength! These elders are too cunning!”
“We succeeded! Elder Qiu Ge’s clone speed couldn’t match our Mind Bodies; all his escaping clones have been eliminated. Rainwave City has lost one elder.” Messages were relayed to King, with only one piece of good news.
King had anticipated this.
If the pressure from the low-level Primal Chaos lifeform army outside wasn’t enough, their infiltrators would be in even greater danger.
“Endure it; we’ve reached the Abyss Elephant Palace Master’s residence.”
King and 30 leader-level true bodies had all arrived here. Rainwave City originally had 32 infiltrator leader-level true bodies, and two had already died during the interception.
“Boom!”
King and the 30 leaders, each appearing ethereal and moving with incredible speed, charged toward the Abyss Elephant Palace Master’s residence.
The Abyss Elephant Palace Master sat there, watching them with a smile.
“You’ve come.” The Abyss Elephant Palace Master smiled slightly, then vanished.
“Hmm?”
King and the 30 leaders landed nearby. “King, we can’t sense the Abyss Elephant Palace Master’s clone within Rainwave City,” one leader said, puzzled.
“I can’t sense it either.” King was slightly puzzled, looking up at the operation of the formation high above. “But as the city’s builder, if the Abyss Elephant Palace Master were to die, losing his control, the Rainwave City formation’s power should decrease significantly. But right now… the formation’s power hasn’t changed! He’s still alive!”
“Yes, I’m still within Rainwave City,” a voice echoed within the residence.
King and the 30 leader-level true bodies sensed carefully.
“I’ve been tormented by pollution, and my mind power is focused on resisting it. Since I know that I am the greatest weakness of Rainwave City, how could I not be prepared?” The Abyss Elephant Palace Master’s voice resonated, “With just you, you’ll never find me.”
“Damn it!”
King and the 30 leaders were quite annoyed.
They had been successful in dealing with Palace Master Wei Yang and Palace Master Forge Devour, executing the plan smoothly, resulting in one death and one escape.
But now, facing the weakest Abyss Elephant Palace Master, they couldn’t find him.
“Guess where I’m hiding?” The Abyss Elephant Palace Master’s voice continued.
“Ignore him; he’s stalling for time.” King surveyed the 30 leaders, “Begin the next phase of the plan. I’ll act alone, and you’ll split into five teams! Start attacking and killing the elders one by one! The more you kill, the more the formation’s power will diminish.”
“Yes.”
King ignored the Abyss Elephant Palace Master’s voice and swiftly separated, commencing attacks on the elders in the surrounding residences.
“Whoosh!”
Inside a residence,
Before Elder Qin Yi could react, he was attacked by King. King’s talent technique, ‘Bewitchment,’ had reached an unbelievable level. Elder Qin Yi possessed only one valuable treasure, which was kept in the Dark Holy World. His body in Rainwave City naturally had no power to resist and died instantly.
With the death of this elder, all his clones in the Nine Rivers Holy World perished.
“Next.” King’s eyes were cold.
The Abyss Elephant Palace Master’s realm was the highest in Rainwave City, making it difficult for even King to launch a sneak attack on him.
However, the ordinary elders were struck before they even noticed King.
Once they couldn’t resist, all their clones in the Nine Rivers Holy World would perish.
“Alas.”
In an ordinary residence in the outer city of Rainwave City, the Abyss Elephant Palace Master was hidden, carrying a treasure that completely isolated all light, shadow, aura, and karma. Even if Luo Feng were to use the ‘Bionic Destruction Eye,’ he wouldn’t be able to see the Abyss Elephant Palace Master inside this residence.
The Abyss Elephant Palace Master knew that he was weak, but he was wealthy and had bought a treasure that could perfectly conceal him. In the Dark Holy World, only a handful of individuals could break through this method.
“Although the elders can create clones, these infiltrators are Mind Bodies and move too fast. The elders are gradually being lost.”
“Forget about a day, it will be difficult to even hold on for half a day.” Using the formation, the Abyss Elephant Palace Master observed the entire city and knew the situation clearly.
Although the infiltrators were also being killed by the Constellation Array, the losses were mainly core members of their race. As for King and the leaders, it was much harder to eliminate them.
The Pill Tower.
Luo Feng was currently in seclusion, and his strongest clone was guarding the silent room.
“Brother Luo Feng.” Building Master Changqing arrived quickly.
“Building Master.” Luo Feng looked at him in confusion. “Brother Luo Feng, I am one of the elders of Rainwave City and a target of the infiltrators. An elite team is approaching the Pill Tower.” Building Master Changqing took out a hand ring and handed it to Luo Feng. “This contains all the treasures of the Pill Tower, worth about 2.7 billion Primal Chaos crystals. I ask Brother Luo Feng to help preserve them.”
“All the treasures of the Pill Tower? This is too valuable. I’m not confident I can protect them. Building Master Changqing, you should find another way.” Luo Feng said.
“At least you haven’t served as an elder, so you’re not a target of the infiltrators. Your strength is also above mine, so your chances of survival are definitely higher than mine.” Building Master Changqing said, “Even if you can’t protect them, I won’t blame Brother Luo Feng. If you can protect them… I will be extremely grateful! The previous share of Hundred Tribulation Marrow will be considered the preservation fee.”
“The fee for the Hundred Tribulation Marrow will still have to be paid afterward.” Luo Feng said, taking the hand ring. “I will temporarily store the Pill Tower treasures for you. I can only promise to do my best!”
“Thank you, Brother Luo Feng.” Building Master Changqing said, turning to look outside.
The elite infiltrator team had arrived at the Pill Tower.
“Whoosh!”
Building Master Changqing instantly soared into the sky, flying away.
“Kill Building Master Changqing.”
This elite team consisted of 8 leader-level clones, 6 core race true bodies, and 59 core race clones. Know that in terms of actual strength, a core race true body could threaten Building Master Changqing. Such a team combined was far more terrifying.
“Roar—” A phantom serpent roared fiercely, the roar impacting the entire Pill Tower complex and also impacting the fleeing Building Master Changqing, affecting his figure.
The Bewitching Mind Worms and Soul-Devouring Serpents were Mind type creatures among the low-level Primal Chaos lifeforms, capable of transforming into illusions and reality. They were similar to the Mind creatures Luo Feng had fought in the Infinite Space, but clearly more terrifying.
“Humph!”
Along with a cold snort.
A surging tide of blood suddenly spread in the vast area around the Pill Tower, instantly submerging the elite infiltrator team. The terrifying sea of blood instantly eroded and annihilated the true bodies and clones of these infiltrators.
In the blink of an eye, everyone was dead, without exception.
“Hmm?” The escaping Building Master Changqing looked at this scene in astonishment.
“How is this possible?” Building Master Changqing couldn’t believe it.
“This is—”
In the outer city residence, the Abyss Elephant Palace Master, concealing his figure and aura, observed the situation and saw this scene at the Pill Tower.
An entire elite infiltrator team, annihilated in one encounter! Without any power to resist.
“The Bewitching Mind Worms and Soul-Devouring Serpents at the late stage God Emperor Realm can shift between being tangible and intangible, and their vitality is extremely tenacious. To kill their bodies with one move, there are no more than twenty in the entire city capable of it! And to annihilate an entire team with one move, only Palace Master Wei Yang and Palace Master Forge Devour can do it.” The Abyss Elephant Palace Master’s eyes lit up.
Palace Master Forge Devour had fled without engaging.
Palace Master Wei Yang had persisted for several breaths of time against ‘King’ and twelve leader-level true bodies at any cost.
An elite infiltrator team was roughly equivalent to the deterrent power of a leader-level true body.
A Palace Master-level expert was enough to easily annihilate this team.
“Luo Feng, you’ve reached the strength of a half-Primal Chaos level Dao Comprehender?” The Abyss Elephant Palace Master quickly transmitted his voice. With the death of one Great Palace Master and the escape of another, it seemed that a new Great Palace Master had appeared in the city.
