Chapter 405: The Rudimentary Form of the Hunyuan Saber Dao | Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent [Trans]
Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent [Trans] - Updated on June 29, 2025
This immense, mysterious land floats alone in the endless, vast sea of blood, and now only one living being resides there: Luo Feng.
The entire Blood Crane Territory clan had long since been dispatched to serve the cultivator faction. An island had materialized within the sea of blood, adorned with a few rare trees and plants.
Luo Feng sat there alone, idly sipping his brewed wine. As a lord, his material needs were minimal, and some of his resources were specifically allocated to brewing wine and creating gourmet dishes.
“Three thousand epochs, yet I’ve hit a bottleneck,” Luo Feng mused, suddenly sensing something as he drank his wine, and looked far into the distance.
His gaze pierced through endless space and time to a place incredibly far from the cultivator domain, where a Source World existed.
The beings in that Source World had no guidance for cultivation, relying entirely on their own exploration, making it countless times more difficult than Source Worlds within the cultivator domain. They also frequently faced World-level Primal Chaos beings or even Ancestral beings attempting to devour their Source World.
Naturally-born Primal Chaos beings also enjoyed devouring the inhabitants of Source Worlds. It was in such a harsh environment that a being in that Source World had cultivated to the ultimate stage of God-King. Using a secret method, this being broke through the Source World’s membrane, temporarily remaining outside to curiously observe the sights of the Infinite Primal Chaos Space.
“So this is beyond the world,” the being mused, filled with curiosity. In his home Source World, he was utterly invincible; without a complete cultivation system, no other being besides him had managed to reach the God-King level.
He was the pioneer of this world’s cultivation path.
“Cultivating in a land fraught with perils outside the cultivator domain, you were able to summarize a cultivation system and even achieve the ultimate God-King realm—truly impressive!” A fluctuation appeared beside him; it was Lord Moman.
“Little one, come with me!”
Lord Moman directly guided the young being. Luo Feng watched from afar as Moman transformed into countless fluctuations, spreading throughout the Infinite Primal Chaos Space. In the myriad Source Worlds outside the cultivator domain, whenever an exceptionally talented individual was encountered, they would be brought to the cultivator domain for Lord Starlight to observe their past, present, and future. Once a talented individual was discovered, they would also be guided in. The task of guiding talented cultivators from outside the cultivator domain was primarily carried out by Moman and Starlight.
This was all they could do; the lords could not protect all Source Worlds.
“The vaster expanse beyond the cultivator domain… the countless Source Worlds there are the true living worlds!” Luo Feng understood this clearly, yet felt powerless.
The 3,600 World Clusters represent merely a small fraction of the Infinite Primal Chaos Space. The cultivator faction dedicates its full protection to this area precisely because of its dense World Clusters and rich resources.
In reality, given the vastness of the Infinite Primal Chaos Space, even if World Clusters in other regions are sparse, their accumulated total is still far greater than that of the 3,600 World Clusters.
“Why is it only the naturally-born Primal Chaos faction that wages war against us, while other factions aren’t as hostile? It’s precisely because there are still vaster areas, with a large number of World Clusters for those naturally-born Primal Chaos beings to devour,” Luo Feng said, coldness in his eyes. The operating rules of this Infinite Primal Chaos Space were too cruel to cultivators.
He admitted that individual lords were incredibly strong, but how many beings from countless Source Worlds could escape their cages? Those who could not escape had no ability to resist naturally-born Primal Chaos beings; even the very essence of their Source Worlds would be devoured by World-level Primal Chaos beings or Ancestral beings.
Without a lord’s protection, those Source Worlds were devoured repeatedly, with the speed of consumption even being planned.
Luo Feng’s gaze pierced through various spaces and times. As long as he wished to see, he could witness many nightmarish scenes.
Whether it was the naturally-born Primal Chaos faction, the Ice Peak faction, or other weaker factions—all born as Primal Chaos beings—they required vast amounts of resources, and Source Worlds were considered within their food supply.
Of course, only World-level Primal Chaos beings or Ancestral beings were capable of consuming food at the level of Source World essence.
“The cultivator domain is peaceful, but what about outside the domain?” Luo Feng could easily see World-level Primal Chaos beings gnawing away at Source World after Source World.
The beings within the Source Worlds were all annihilated; countless lives were extinguished at every moment.
Yet I can do nothing! Even as a lord, his abilities were still limited when the distance was too great.
Reaching many regions, even at his speed, would take hundreds of days or even longer.
If he were to merely project a thought from a distance, it would not be enough to contend with a World-level Primal Chaos being.
“Even the 3,600 World Clusters, protected by only eight lords, have encountered war. If we wanted to protect all Source Worlds in the Infinite Primal Chaos Space… I’m afraid all external factions would unite!” Luo Feng understood this point.
The naturally-born Primal Chaos faction, the Ice Peak faction, and numerous weaker factions would all likely join forces.
Numerous immortal beings and an even greater number of Ancestral beings would swiftly crush the entire cultivator faction.
“Still too weak!” Luo Feng thought, confident in his assessment. He wasn’t even sure he could rank third among the eight lords now, and he certainly wasn’t sure he could rank among the top ten in the Infinite Primal Chaos Space.
“Primal Chaos Blade Dao!” Luo Feng frowned. “With my current comprehension, insight, and speed of thought, I’ve already comprehended 90% of the ‘Primal Chaos Blade Dao’ over three thousand epochs, and it has a clear form, yet I’ve encountered a bottleneck!”
In reality, this was countless times faster than Wu Lan, Jin, and Ming Huang.
In three thousand epochs, he had seamlessly formed a clear framework and a complete dimension, yet he still encountered a bottleneck. His Primal Chaos Blade Dao consisted of approximately 87% destruction and 13% life, merged together. The small portion of life system incorporated mainly included “life aura lock,” “sever life force,” and “life entanglement.”
In terms of locking onto targets, the destruction aspect already had a “killing intent lock,” but by merging it with “life aura lock,” his ability to pinpoint enemies naturally ascended to an extremely high level.
Luo Feng’s Primal Chaos Blade Dao focused on pursuing various destructive methods, based on locking onto enemies, striving for maximum power.
“But my Primal Chaos Blade Dao still lacks something to form a perfect whole!” Luo Feng felt a headache coming on. “What’s missing should be accumulation in terms of destruction!”
Luo Feng had originally thought his accumulation in destruction was deep enough. After all, he had comprehended all the high-level Primal Chaos materials, World-level Primal Chaos materials, and Ancestral-level materials accumulated by the cultivator faction.
He had also studied the inheritances of the other seven lords. Jin’s inheritance primarily focused on destruction, but his path was not compatible with Luo Feng’s; Luo Feng could only draw upon parts of it, having previously comprehended the Primal Chaos Cycle Dao.
At that time, his accumulation in destruction had been sufficient.
But now, with destruction as the main focus, his accumulation was insufficient.
“The Sky-Rending Blade originates from the Abyss of Destruction!” Luo Feng said, flipping his hand to gaze at the blade. Without a doubt, the place containing the most destructive power in the entire Infinite Primal Chaos Space was the Abyss of Destruction!
The highest and most mysterious regions of the Abyss of Destruction, such as the Eternal Land and the Wall of Purgatory, were also considered top-tier by all factions in the Infinite Primal Chaos Space. There, no one saw any hope of refining or controlling anything; even their fundamental origins could not be found.
The Abyss of Destruction contained all known and unknown destructive powers.
“The Abyss of Destruction is like a bottomless abyss! From the outermost first layer of the destructive world, one can continuously delve into the second, third, and so on…”
“One must break through all obstacles in a layer and imprint their life essence onto the illusory origin of that layer to become the master of that layer’s destructive world!” Luo Feng had long known the detailed information about the Abyss of Destruction.
In reality, almost every Ancestral being in the Infinite Primal Chaos Space had explored the Abyss of Destruction. The true combat power rankings of these ancient beings – whether in the top, top twenty, or top thirty – were primarily determined by their performance within the Abyss of Destruction. As of now, the deepest anyone has reached in the Abyss of Destruction is ‘Sand Skiff’ from the Ice Peak faction, who is the master of the twenty-seventh layer of the destructive world.
Lord Starlight is the master of the twenty-sixth layer of the destructive world. The reason Starlight is one layer weaker is because Sand Skiff rose to power much earlier and occupied the twenty-seventh layer first. With this territorial advantage, Starlight could not break through her obstacles and refine the twenty-seventh layer.
Starlight also tried but couldn’t break through the twenty-eighth layer of the destructive world. This indicates that Starlight and Sand Skiff are virtually identical in their destructive capabilities.
They are also publicly recognized as the top two in the Infinite Primal Chaos Space. Weaker than them is ‘Demon Ruin’, the master of the twenty-second layer of the destructive world. The twenty-third to twenty-fifth layers of the destructive world are currently unmastered, which further indicates that Lord Starlight and Sand Skiff are clearly stronger than other beings.
Layers 22 down to 1 all have masters, which allows for a certain degree of strength assessment.
Apart from the newly promoted Lord Luo Feng, the other seven lords all have avatars occupying a layer of the destructive world in the Abyss of Destruction.
Yuan is in the nineteenth layer of the destructive world.
Moman is in the thirteenth layer of the destructive world.
Jin is in the twelfth layer of the destructive world.
Ming Huang is in the eleventh layer of the destructive world.
Naigu is in the ninth layer.
Wu Lan is in the seventh layer.
It is precisely because of their performance in the Abyss of Destruction that Lord Starlight is publicly recognized as having top-two strength, Yuan as having top-ten strength in the Infinite Primal Chaos Space, and the other lords are all stably within the top twenty in terms of strength.
However, this ranking has a drawback: it is not very favorable to those who excel at self-preservation.
For instance, the Initial Ancestral being, who possesses the strongest defense, has very mediocre killing capabilities, unable to even occupy the first layer of the destructive world.
Although Wu Lan, as a cultivator lord, is slower and his moves seem clumsier, the power of each of his moves is incredibly terrifying, which allowed him to occupy the seventh layer.
However, all parties are also aware that at critical moments, individuals like Initial Wu Lan and Luo Feng, who excel in defense, life, and other aspects, might play a more significant role.
The Abyss of Destruction can only prove one’s killing ability.
The Abyss of Destruction contains all known and unknown destructive powers. Luo Feng stood within the Blood Crane Territory, clad in black, with a blood-colored robe draped over him.
“I must go to the Abyss of Destruction to continue accumulating my destructive power, hoping it will help me break through this bottleneck and fully master the Primal Chaos Blade Dao.” With a single step, this main combat avatar of Luo Feng, carrying the Sky-Rending Blade, left the Blood Crane Territory and set off towards the Abyss of Destruction.
