Chapter 430: Three Poles | Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent [Trans]
Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent [Trans] - Updated on July 28, 2025
Inside the membrane wall, Lord Moman was focused on studying the ‘Stone Heart’ while Luo Feng sat cross-legged, helping to guard him.
Luo Feng was quite curious about the Stone Heart, but he dared not touch it again with his Life-Death power. Instead, he cautiously extended a wisp of thought to penetrate it: “Let me try to sense it.”
As his thought penetrated, he perceived terrifying fluctuations emanating from the Stone Heart. With Luo Feng’s current understanding, he simply couldn’t comprehend the mysteries of these fluctuations.
When his thought sensed the Stone Heart itself, he felt an endless profound density, a density that surpassed all life forms Luo Feng knew, including Lord Wulan and the Primal Ancestor. None matched the profoundness of the Stone Heart.
“It has nothing to do with life or destruction. I can’t understand it at all,” Luo Feng mused, feeling confused. “Unlike the corpse materials of those ancestors, whose secret patterns and mysteries are relatively stable—I can at least distinguish different categories. But the mysteries I perceive from this Stone Heart are not about fluctuating changes; if one doesn’t understand the Path of Fluctuation, they can’t even grasp the changes.” Luo Feng gently shook his head.
“The threshold for comprehension is truly high.”
Moman, who commanded the ‘Chaos Fluctuation Path,’ needed his help just to get here.
This implied that the comprehension threshold would be extremely high.
However, the more powerful a mysterious place was, the more absurdly high the threshold was to see its ‘core’!
For instance, while Luo Feng and others could occupy a spot in the Land of Eternity, they couldn’t see its core.
For the Abyss of Destruction, there were only three slots to enter the ‘Mountain of Destruction’ to date! Its core remained undiscovered, with the only known path to mastery being ‘passing the seven trials.’
As for the Wall of Fiery Purgatory, only the Primal Ancestor could traverse it unaided.
Its core, too, was unseen.
“Compared to those three places, the Land of Fluctuation allowing us to see its core is quite remarkable.” Since Luo Feng couldn’t decipher it, he stopped wasting time and focused on his own combat techniques instead.
He had only created four combat techniques by combining the Chaos Life-Death Path and the Chaos Blade Path. Luo Feng continued to refine his fifth combat technique, the ‘Avatar Combat Technique.’
The two of them must have entered the Land of Fluctuation by now.
Xing Mang, in the form of a stern young man, gazed into the distance. He couldn’t peer into the Land of Fluctuation either, but because Moman had once invited him for help, he knew the periodic pattern of the Land of Fluctuation’s appearance.
That time, he had accompanied Moman, but his spatial-temporal abilities were useless in the Land of Fluctuation. The help he could offer Moman was very limited, and ultimately, they couldn’t reach the core of the Land of Fluctuation.
“Having not appeared for such a long time, perhaps they can enter the core,” Xing Mang smiled faintly. “In my judgment, the Land of Fluctuation should be a medium-level mysterious place.”
Some ancestors would hide their methods, such as whether Ancestor Shazhou controlled a mysterious world, or if Ancestor Pusheng controlled one—these were difficult to confirm details, even with slightly more information from the hermit.
However, according to known information, only the Infinite World controlled by the ‘Infinite Serpent Ancestor’ could be considered a medium-level mysterious world. The Infinite Serpent Ancestor’s success in refining it might also have benefited from the Infinite World’s advantage in nurturing life. After all, even the ‘World-Class Infinite Great Serpent’ lineage could borrow the Infinite World’s power, descend anywhere in the boundless Chaos Space, and return.
“The Infinite Serpent Ancestor is considered the first to control a medium-level mysterious place.”
“I wonder who will be the second to achieve it,” Xing Mang pondered. “Once Luo Feng’s combat techniques mature further, I’ll ask for his help.”
Xing Mang’s understanding of the boundless Chaos Space was second to none, and he had long ago discovered a medium-level mysterious place that was quite suitable for him.
As Xing Mang, who commanded two Chaos-level paths, ordinary mysterious places like ‘Time Star’ offered little help. His strength had long reached a bottleneck, making progress extremely difficult. A suitable medium-level mysterious place was therefore incredibly important to him.
Unknowingly, an epoch passed.
Inside the membrane wall of the Land of Fluctuation.
Luo Feng, who was helping to guard, suddenly noticed that the surrounding membrane wall began to turn illusory. Even the countless massive, seemingly substantial fluctuations outside the wall also became illusory, gradually disappearing.
“The fluctuations are weakening. This part of the Land of Fluctuation is about to become hidden,” Luo Feng observed carefully.
The originally incredibly dense Stone Heart’s outer layer also became illusory and fragile, revealing its interior: an exceptionally dazzling ‘point,’ which also resembled a ‘wave.’
“This is the true appearance of the core!”
Luo Feng attempted to penetrate it with a wisp of thought.
The weakening fluctuations made the Stone Heart incredibly fragile. Its illusory outer material completely vanished, leaving only the core point.
Luo Feng’s thought met no resistance and successfully touched that point.
“Buzz!”
The instant his thought made contact.
Luo Feng vaguely saw the entire boundless Chaos Space.
However, he saw it from the perspective of ‘fluctuations.’ In this ‘fluctuating’ world, individual origin worlds were utterly insignificant. Luo Feng even perceived some relatively powerful mysterious places.
“Those are…”
Luo Feng sensed three terrifying fluctuating vortices.
These three places were exceptionally prominent, massive fluctuating vortices.
With Luo Feng’s understanding of the boundless Chaos Space’s territories, he could quickly deduce the locations corresponding to these three vortices.
“The Abyss of Destruction, the Land of Eternity, the Wall of Fiery Purgatory.”
Luo Feng confirmed that these three corresponded to the three most colossal fluctuating vortices.
In the world of fluctuations, the Wall of Fiery Purgatory radiated endless ‘heat’ fluctuations; it was incredibly scorching.
It stretched for hundreds of world clusters in length, surpassed the width of a single world cluster, and was permeated everywhere with various highest-level flame energies. These endless heat fluctuations were being transmitted, spreading to every corner of the boundless space.
Whether it was life within origin worlds or countless naturally born Chaos beings, the vast majority were able to come into existence influenced by these invisible heat fluctuations.
The Wall of Fiery Purgatory actively radiated endless heat fluctuations.
The Abyss of Destruction, however, devoured countless fluctuations.
In the fluctuating world, the Abyss of Destruction consumed the intense negative emotions of countless beings: hatred, killing intent, resentment, and grievances. These boundless negative emotions also influenced the will of the Abyss of Destruction.
The Land of Eternity was crucial for the continued existence of the boundless Chaos Space.
In Luo Feng’s perception, the Land of Eternity balanced the ‘Wall of Fiery Purgatory’ and the ‘Abyss of Destruction,’ and even indirectly influenced all mysterious places and countless world clusters.
The existence of the Land of Eternity ensured that the ‘boundless Chaos Space’ could endure eternally.
Otherwise, terrifying energies within the boundless Chaos Space would have long formed energy storms repeatedly, making the existence of so many weaker life forms impossible.
“The Wall of Fiery Purgatory, the Abyss of Destruction, and the Land of Eternity—they are more like the three poles of the boundless Chaos Space!”
From the perspective of fluctuations, Luo Feng gained a deeper understanding of the boundless Chaos Space.
“I need to pay more attention to the Abyss of Destruction.”
“Ideally, I should be able to pass the seven trials and gain control of the Abyss of Destruction.”
Luo Feng pondered that among these three poles, he saw no hope of refining the other two, but for the Abyss of Destruction, he at least saw a direction.
*Whoosh…*
While Luo Feng was perceiving the ‘world of fluctuations.’
That point, or rather that wave, completely disappeared as well.
The Land of Fluctuation completely vanished! The spot where Luo Feng and Lord Moman were returned to normal space-time.
“It’s gone!”
Luo Feng felt a sense of loss; the core of this medium-level mysterious place had significantly enhanced his understanding of the boundless Chaos Space.
“The Land of Fluctuation seemed to truly exist. The Stone Heart appeared indestructible. But in reality, they were all combinations of fluctuations.”
Lord Moman chuckled from beside him, “Once the combination of all fluctuations passes its peak, they disperse and completely vanish.”
Luo Feng said, “I feel like the Land of Fluctuation has completely dissipated.”
Lord Moman looked at Luo Feng. “Strictly speaking, the Land of Fluctuation is most substantial at the peak of its fluctuations. Once fluctuations subside, the Land of Fluctuation rapidly disperses. At what I estimate to be the lowest point of fluctuations, the Land of Fluctuation should actually spread throughout the entire boundless Chaos Space!”
Luo Feng understood. “From a small point to spreading across the boundless Chaos Space—that’s fascinating! A mysterious place that constantly changes is indeed unique.”
“Let’s go,” Lord Moman said with a smile.
“Moman, do you have confidence in refining it?” Luo Feng asked.
Lord Moman shook his head. “My strength isn’t enough. Even with a clever trick to reach the core, I still can’t refine it.”
“Is there anything I can help with?” Luo Feng asked.
“Your help this time has been immense,” Moman smiled.
Luo Feng said no more and immediately left the Land of Fluctuation with Lord Moman.
Lord Moman, his black cloak fluttering and his eyes deep, thought, “This time, I finally know the method to refine it. For me, the simplest way related to fluctuations is to comprehend a supreme-level World Power.”
“Adding a World Power to the Chaos Fluctuation Path is the most straightforward direction.” Because Lord Moman had, over long epochs, perceived the boundless Chaos Space everywhere in the form of a fluctuation, his understanding of the world was extremely high. That’s why he believed that comprehending a supreme-level World Power was his most promising path, besides the Path of Fluctuation.
This path was difficult, and success might not come even after billions of epochs, but Lord Moman had already resolved to follow this path.
Once this path succeeded, with an additional supreme-level power and the blessing of fluctuation power, his strength would undergo a comprehensive elevation.
“Once I master World Power, I won’t need Luo Feng’s help; I’ll be able to enter the core on my own,” Lord Moman thought.
After accompanying Lord Moman to the Land of Fluctuation, Luo Feng continued his secluded cultivation to create combat techniques. After more than a hundred epochs passed.
His fifth combat technique was also complete. At the 28th layer of the Abyss of Destruction, Luo Feng’s aura rapidly ascended, quickly reaching the state of a main combat avatar.
“With five combat techniques, my entire combat system is now complete,” Luo Feng clearly understood. Even if he were to develop one or two more techniques, it would be difficult to achieve any significant improvement. Having mastered two Chaos-level paths and possessing five complete combat techniques, his strength had already reached a bottleneck.
From now on, even the slightest progress would be extremely difficult!
Xing Mang was also in this state. As for comprehending a third path, it seemed too distant a prospect. From the perspective of fluctuations, the Abyss of Destruction was one of the three poles of the boundless Chaos Space, and he wondered if he could now reach its absolute lowest layer.
With a single step, Luo Feng warped through space-time, entering the deeper 29th layer.
