Chapter 431: Deep into the Abyss of Destruction | Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent [Trans]
Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent [Trans] - Updated on July 29, 2025
Luo Feng slowly descended, looking down at the 29th layer of the World of Destruction.
Before him lay a vast expanse of semi-molten metallic land, glowing with a dark red hue. Most of this expansive land had melted and was slowly flowing. Only the surface and some other areas remained solidified into layers of metal, resembling metallic islands.
This 29th layer of the World of Destruction was a valuable mineral deposit. Luo Feng could perceive that the harsh environment here was capable of incinerating even World-level Hunyuan beings. Yet, these metallic materials still persisted, indicating their extraordinary composition.
Luo Feng attempted to collect some with a thought but found that the metallic materials were inextricably linked, making them impossible to acquire.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” The flowing metallic earth roared as colossal figures emerged from its molten depths. Each was in a semi-molten state, radiating a terrifyingly powerful aura.
A total of twenty colossal figures appeared, all simultaneously fixated on Luo Feng.
“This layer has a total of 20 World Envoys?” Luo Feng was quite surprised.
He was the first to fight his way through the 28th layer. As for the 29th layer, no strong beings had ever set foot here before, so there was no intelligence available on its environment or its World Envoys.
“The outermost first layer of the Abyss of Destruction has 3,000 World Envoys; as one delves deeper, their numbers decrease while their strength significantly increases.” Luo Feng could sense that the aura of each of the twenty colossal figures before him was no weaker than that of an Ancestor.
Suddenly.
The twenty World Envoys moved, each transforming into a streak of light, lunging towards Luo Feng.
With a thought from Luo Feng, a vast domain descended!
In the past, Luo Feng’s Life-Death Domain, which glowed with a faint cyan light, was primarily adept at enhancing allies’ vitality and replenishing their energy reserves, posing a relatively low threat to enemies.
However, Luo Feng’s current Life-Death Domain was a fusion of cyan and black! It was a combination of two Hunyuan-level Daos, significantly increasing its threat to enemies and truly earning the name “Life-Death Domain.”
This domain was part of Luo Feng’s fifth combat technique, the “Avatar Combat Method.”
To Luo Feng, every ounce of his power contained spiritual consciousness, akin to a weak avatar! As countless forces spread out to form the domain, it was as if myriad avatars were arrayed together.
Therefore, the Life-Death Domain was also categorized under the Avatar Combat Method system.
“Rumble!”
Once the Life-Death Domain enveloped the area, cutting off external prying, Luo Feng could freely engage the twenty World Envoys.
They could no longer see.
Lord Luo Feng had deployed his domain, cutting off all observation.
When Luo Feng entered the 29th layer, several Ancestors watched from afar, even spreading word to their friends. In an instant, over a hundred Ancestors were observing the battle.
From the 28th layer of the Abyss of Destruction downwards, everything was a mystery, and Luo Feng was the first to enter.
Various factions wanted to see, and they were also eager to know just how powerful Lord Luo Feng, from the Cultivator faction, truly was.
To their surprise, Luo Feng used his Life-Death Domain to conceal his combat process.
“Lord Luo Feng is hiding his true abilities,” remarked a woman draped in a veil, watching from afar with a touch of regret. She was Ancestor Yunmu, who belonged to no faction, protected her own clan, and rarely engaged in conflicts.
Ancestor Yunmu wielded the highest level of life force! Yet, relying solely on one type of life force, she had not achieved theoretical immortality.
Although she specialized only in life force, her offensive capabilities were strong. However, as she was the sole Ancestor of her clan, her people were often subjected to bullying. In the most devastating incident, approximately two-thirds of her clan members were devoured.
This instilled a murderous intent in Ancestor Yunmu, driving her to secretly pursue lethal abilities.
“His accomplishments in life force are far greater than mine,” Ancestor Yunmu observed. “And he is very much like me; the second power I spent long ages mastering is precisely the power of destruction.”
To the outside world, Ancestor Yunmu was known only for her mastery of life force and her non-involvement in conflicts. They were unaware that she had secretly gained control of a destructive power and was already plotting her revenge.
“With my mastery of both life and destruction, two of the highest-level powers, I estimate I could barely make it into the top ten if I used all my strength. But he controls two Hunyuan-level Daos of life and destruction… he is far stronger than me.” Ancestor Yunmu very much wanted to witness Luo Feng’s combat techniques as he traversed the Abyss of Destruction,
Unfortunately, she could no longer see them.
“This Lord Luo Feng must be the strongest being in the entire boundless Hunyuan Space in this era,” an exotic beast remarked, looking up towards the Abyss of Destruction from within an Origin World.
“Watching their factional struggles is quite interesting,” the beast observed.
Inside the exotic beast, however, resided a unique being.
It was a mind-type innate Hunyuan being, naturally born from the interwoven spiritual powers of countless Origin World beings and innate Hunyuan lifeforms. From birth, the core of this mind-type innate Hunyuan being was infused with spiritual power, making it immortal and indestructible…
It differed from Mogus.
Mogus enjoyed devouring the souls of countless lives.
This being, however, enjoyed experiencing the joys, sorrows, greed, anger, ignorance, and hatred of countless beings. It could traverse the minds of myriad creatures, sending billions of avatars into their bodies to perceive their mental cognition. If it encountered something it admired, it was even willing to offer some assistance.
Its entire being was a mental existence. Thus, to this day, no Ancestor or Lord had been able to detect its presence.
Of course, another reason it had remained undetected was that it never killed any life form and never contended with any Ancestor or Lord.
Luo Feng could sense over a hundred forces prying into the area. His Life-Death Domain expanded, cutting off these prying eyes. He hoped his combat techniques would still surprise his enemies in future confrontations, so how could he easily reveal them?
After familiarizing himself slightly with the siege of the twenty World Envoys, Luo Feng wielded his blade, shattering them and imprinting a life mark on their Origin Shadow.
After gaining control of the 29th layer, Luo Feng again attempted to collect the valuable mineral deposits within this layer of the World of Destruction. This time, it was much easier, and many precious minerals were collected.
Luo Feng collected the most valuable portion, which amounted to roughly one-tenth of the total material of that entire layer.
The deeper one went into the Abyss of Destruction, the more precious the materials constituting the worlds became. Luo Feng was quite pleased. “To the next layer.”
Upon arriving at the 30th layer, Luo Feng immediately unleashed his World Domain, which enveloped the entire layer, blocking all external observation.
“This Luo Feng is far too stingy!”
He had just entered the 30th layer and immediately used his domain to cover the entire world, cutting off all observation. What special materials constituted this layer of the World of Destruction, how many World Envoys there were—everything became invisible.
Many Ancestors couldn’t help but curse under their breath.
Even if they couldn’t see Luo Feng’s battle, gaining more knowledge about the deeper layers of the World of Destruction would still be beneficial. Yet, Luo Feng concealed everything thoroughly!
“Hahaha, well hidden! That’s exactly how it should be!” Jin watched from afar. He was equally curious about the deeper parts of the Abyss of Destruction. Unable to delve deep himself for countless ages, he naturally didn’t want other Ancestors to easily glimpse the secrets of the lower levels.
“It should indeed be hidden,” Ming Huang nodded.
“The deeper we go, the more it might involve some secrets of the Abyss of Destruction,” Luo Feng, whose avatar was also present, remarked. “Those Ancestors all have sharp eyes. If they were to see the deeper scenes, they might penetrate some hidden truths.”
The Abyss of Destruction was the one among the Three Extremes that best suited him, so Luo Feng naturally did not wish to share information with the outside world.
Those Ancestors wanted to explore? If they had the ability, they should go explore it themselves.
“Once I’ve finished exploring the Abyss of Destruction, detailed information will also be left in the Primal Land,” Luo Feng stated.
Of course, it would only be accessible to Lords.
“Thanks,” Jin said. Among the eight Lords, besides Luo Feng, Jin had the most insights regarding the Abyss of Destruction. However, his current strength was insufficient, preventing him from even entering the Mountain of Destruction.
As a mysterious place, the Abyss of Destruction didn’t comprehend the distinction between Hunyuan-level Daos and highest-level powers. In its natural operation, it only recognized that the stronger an existence wielding destructive power was, the better.
Relying on just one Dao, Jin was still somewhat weaker. Among over two hundred Ancestors and Lords, his ranking in the top twenty was impressive, but the Abyss of Destruction’s demands on strength were exceedingly high, with the threshold for its seven trials being incredibly lofty.
“The Abyss of Destruction starts with 3,000 World Envoys on its first layer. The deeper one goes, the fewer World Envoys there are. The 29th layer, for instance, only has twenty World Envoys,” Xingmang stated.
“The 30th layer has only ten World Envoys, and the 31st layer has only five,” Luo Feng said.
His main combat avatar had already left its mark on the Origin Shadow of the 31st layer and began collecting some precious materials from that world.
“Only five Envoys left?” Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
“I’m now entering the 32nd layer, and the 32nd layer has only three World Envoys,” Luo Feng said.
The 32nd layer had only three World Envoys! In terms of physical toughness, these three World Envoys were comparable to the likes of Wu Lan and Ancestor Ice Peak, and the might they unleashed rivaled that of Shazhou!
Three incredibly tough Shazhous, wielding the power of destruction, ferociously assailed Luo Feng.
The effectiveness of Luo Feng’s Life-Death Domain also significantly decreased.
The Life-Death Domain had been remarkably effective from the 29th to the 31st layers because, against group attacks, a domain could target all enemies within its confines.
However, the further down he went, as the number of World Envoys decreased and their individual strength rapidly increased, the effect of the Life-Death Domain began to wane.
The 32nd layer was shrouded in gloom.
Under the shroud of the Life-Death Domain, directions were inverted, space-time was chaotic, and every World Envoy was fully restrained. Furthermore, countless blurred blade shadows stood firm throughout the area, forming a vast blade array.
Countless flashes of blade light suppressed and strangled the three World Envoys.
“Roar—!” One of the World Envoys opened its mouth, which resembled a bottomless abyss, and swallowed countless flashes of blade light, causing the array’s power to wane. However, Luo Feng simultaneously supplied energy to the array, maintaining its might.
Another World Envoy’s body twisted like a line. This linear body coiled around the entire world and wrapped itself, striking at Luo Feng. When Luo Feng’s blade light fell upon it, its soft, line-like body easily fended off all strikes.
The last World Envoy had already reached Luo Feng, grabbing at him with world-shattering might, putting Luo Feng under significant pressure.
It was one against three, and each opponent was stronger than Shazhou! He was now at a disadvantage.
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*
Luo Feng, cloaked in blood-red robes, moved unpredictably with the aid of the Blood Crane’s power. His Life-Death Domain allowed his movements to be seemingly ubiquitous within a small area. Terrifying blade lights also assaulted the soft, line-like World Envoy, as that envoy had tightly coiled its body around the Origin Shadow.
Accompanied by an incredibly terrifying explosion—one of the forbidden moves from the “Origin Combat Method”—a section of the soft, line-like World Envoy’s body was finally shattered. A wisp of an imprint immediately branded itself onto the Origin Shadow.
“Success.”
He didn’t need to completely defeat the World Envoy; success only required overcoming its obstruction and imprinting the Origin Shadow.
“Only the 32nd layer, and I’m already forced to use the Origin Combat Method?” Luo Feng gazed at the three World Envoys before him, who had now returned to normal and were incredibly docile, obedient to his commands.
