Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent-Chapter 295 : Luo Feng and Wu Ya

Chapter 295: Luo Feng and Wu Ya

Although they had agreed to go hunting, Luo Feng and Emperor Qing still needed to make preparations. Luo Feng needed to familiarize himself with the newly purchased Profound Azure Heaven Annihilation Diagram, while Emperor Qing had to consider which Secret Treasures he should bring when facing powerful enemies.

Only after half an era did the two finally depart.

“Luo Feng and Emperor Qing have gone out to hunt.” Emperor Ming and Emperor Fu came to see them off.

“Last time they offended the Trick Workshop Deputy Workshop Master ‘Heavenly Crane Elder.’ Now they’re going hunting again. If the Trick Workshop retaliates…” Emperor Ming said worriedly. Having been in Rainlan City for so long, he knew very well how the Trick Workshop operated.

Emperor Fu smiled faintly as he looked toward the entrance of the cave residence.

“Since they dare to go out, they must have confidence in handling it. If my guess is correct, the days for the two of us in Rainlan City are about to improve.”

During these three hundred-plus eras, Emperor Ming had not dared to go outside, and Emperor Fu had no job either. Both had been cultivating in seclusion inside the cave residence.

“You trust them that much?” Emperor Ming asked in surprise.

“What I trust is Luo Feng!” Emperor Fu had once spent a great deal of effort observing Luo Feng, studying every move he made. Only after determining Luo Feng’s character did he repeatedly help him—even offending Emperor Yan did not bother him.

Emperor Ming looked at Emperor Fu in confusion.

“Didn’t you notice?” Emperor Fu smiled. “Since the beginning of his cultivation, whenever Brother Luo Feng takes the initiative to act, he always has absolute confidence!”

Emperor Ming thought for a moment. It was indeed true.

“From an Eternal True God to someone comparable to Emperor Qing—he only took a little over a thousand eras,” Emperor Fu said softly. “And you should know that Brother Luo Feng has already been in Rainlan City for about a thousand eras.”

“The cultivation resources here are even better,” Emperor Fu continued. “Logically, his progress should only be faster.”

“The Ancestors once said that Luo Feng is either a reincarnated foreign race or someone with terrifying talent.”

“Now it seems the latter is correct,” Emperor Fu said with a smile. “All we need to do is wait here for good news.”

…

Luo Feng and Emperor Qing rode together in a black flying boat, heading straight toward the eastern gate of Rainlan City.

“Buzz.”

The entire city was covered by layers of multicolored defensive systems. Invisible waves repeatedly swept across the entire city, determining the position of every resident. If someone failed to pay their residence fee, they could immediately be locked onto. Anyone without a residence within three days would be expelled from the city. These defensive systems also prevented Low-Rank Primordial Lifeforms from infiltrating.

“Luo Feng and Emperor Qing are riding the same flying boat toward the eastern gate.”

This information was immediately transmitted to the Trick Workshop Deputy Workshop Master Heavenly Crane Elder.

In Rainlan City, as long as one paid enough, intelligence organizations could provide real-time updates.

“They’re going out together?”

Heavenly Crane Elder slowly opened his eyes. His narrow eyes were calm like still water.

“Going hunting after just three hundred eras… truly impatient.” Heavenly Crane Elder smiled faintly and summoned a subordinate.

Whoosh.

A gray mist figure appeared outside the room. With emerald-green eyes, the mist figure bowed respectfully.

“Deputy Workshop Master.”

“Wu Ya,” Heavenly Crane Elder instructed with a smile. “Luo Feng and Emperor Qing are heading to the eastern gate in a flying boat. Go over there and lock onto their position. Once they move far enough from Rainlan City, inform me.”

It was not suitable to attack too close to Rainlan City. If they escaped back into the city, pursuing them would become troublesome.

Farther away—when returning to the city became difficult—then he could slowly deal with them and kill them one by one.

“Yes.”

Wu Ya vanished silently. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Heavenly Crane Elder pondered.

“Even if they came from a Source World, they’re only Mid-Stage God Emperor Comprehenders. They’re probably relatively poor. Even if they bring their best treasures for hunting, they’re likely only worth a few tens of millions of Primordial Crystals.”

Killing enemies and taking treasures was merely incidental. Heavenly Crane Elder mainly wanted to establish deterrence.

“Anyone who dares offend me in Rainlan City must pay the price!” Heavenly Crane Elder’s eyes turned cold.

…

Inside the black flying boat.

“The moment we left the cave residence, Rainlan City’s intelligence network probably knew. The Trick Workshop likely knows as well.” Luo Feng looked at Emperor Qing beside him. “Their experts are probably already following us.”

“Haha! If Brother Luo Feng has confidence, why should I be afraid?” Emperor Qing laughed.

If he were acting alone, Emperor Qing would never dare provoke the Trick Workshop.

But Luo Feng had already admitted he possessed Late-Stage God Emperor Comprehender strength. Naturally, Emperor Qing was willing to accompany him.

“Brother Luo Feng, before we leave the city we must clarify something,” Emperor Qing said seriously. “This hunt will be split ninety–ten.”

“This may be the last time we hunt together. At ninety–ten, I’m already taking advantage.”

Normally, a Late-Stage God Emperor Comprehender would not bring a Mid-Stage God Emperor Comprehender to hunt.

The gap in strength was fundamental.

“Alright, alright.” Luo Feng laughed. “We’ll do it your way.”

Both of them were extremely proud and did not want to take advantage of each other.

Luo Feng also understood.

Once this hunt ended and he revealed his true strength, Emperor Qing probably would not want to form a team anymore. The difference in strength would be too great.

This was likely their last hunt together.

“When I arrived in Rainlan City, Emperor Qing arranged a cave residence for me, lent me Primordial Crystals, took me hunting, and taught me hunting experience. I owe him a favor,” Luo Feng thought.

Emperor Qing had indeed treated Luo Feng like a life-and-death companion and trained him sincerely.

Unfortunately, Luo Feng’s growth had been too fast.

Whoosh.

The black flying boat shot out through the eastern gate.

Not far from the eastern gate, a gray mist figure watched the flying boat.

“They’ve left the city.”

Wu Ya observed from afar.

At the moment he saw them, an invisible mark fell onto the black flying boat. He did not mark Luo Feng or Emperor Qing directly. The stronger someone was, the more sensitive their perception became. Marking the flying boat was much more concealed.

Whoosh.

Wu Ya also rode a flying boat, maintaining a sufficient distance before leaving the city.

The suppression within the Jiugang Holy Realm was severe. Even his tracking mark required staying within a certain range. If he moved too far away, the perception would gradually blur.

…

Inside the black flying boat.

“After leaving the city, the Trick Workshop may attack at any time.” Emperor Qing watched their surroundings but did not detect the invisible mark on the boat.

Luo Feng’s Simulated Eye of Life and Death on his forehead had already opened.

The Early-Stage God Emperor Path of Life and Death and the Mid-Stage God Emperor paths of life and destruction—his accumulated realm had allowed Luo Feng to understand the Eye of Life and Death more deeply. The Simulated Eye of Life and Death had become even more formidable.

“Brother Emperor Qing, the moment we left the city, the Trick Workshop already locked onto us,” Luo Feng said. His Simulated Eye of Life and Death could see a faint mark on the surface of the flying boat.

“They locked onto us?” Emperor Qing was shocked.

“A mark from the Causality Path. Quite a clever technique,” Luo Feng observed through the Simulated Eye of Life and Death.

If it were the true Eye of Life and Death, even the defensive formations of Rainlan City could not block its observation. Standing here, Luo Feng could peer into the entire city and see every creature and movement.

But if the Eye of Life and Death were taken outside the Source World, it would likely bring disaster.

The Simulated Eye of Life and Death could still see the faint causal thread attached to the mark.

The causal line penetrated through space and connected to a distant location.

“I’ll go take a look at who’s tracking us.”

Luo Feng smiled faintly.

A blood-colored phantom flew out from his body and left the black flying boat, following the causal thread toward the other end.

Far behind them, Wu Ya’s flying boat had just left Rainlan City.

Inside the flying boat hall, Wu Ya watched ahead.

“Deputy Workshop Master, they’re already some distance away from Rainlan City. I’ve left the city and am following them,” Wu Ya reported to Heavenly Crane Elder. “I’ll keep reporting their location.”

“Very good. Just keep watching them,” Heavenly Crane Elder replied.

Wu Ya was very relaxed while piloting the flying boat.

He specialized in tracking, escaping, and curse techniques. Tracking Luo Feng and Emperor Qing did not worry him at all.

“This Luo Feng is truly arrogant! Just for fifty million Primordial Crystals, he’d rather offend Heavenly Crane Elder.”

As a mid-level member of the Trick Workshop, Wu Ya knew the entire story.

“Heavenly Crane Elder is famously ruthless. Once he acts, he shows no mercy!”

Wu Ya had personally witnessed Heavenly Crane Elder in action.

It was truly terrifying.

None of Rainlan City’s Elders could be underestimated. Most came from Source Worlds, possessed clone techniques, and had countless opportunities. They had refined their abilities to terrifying levels.

Whoosh.

Wu Ya continued flying while maintaining a safe distance from Luo Feng’s flying boat.

Suddenly—

A massive furry claw stretched down from the depths of the sky toward Wu Ya’s flying boat.

“Not good! A Low-Rank Primordial Lifeform! An ambush!”

Wu Ya was startled.

He specialized in escape and tracking, and they had not even traveled far from the city. He had never imagined encountering a Low-Rank Primordial Lifeform ambush here.

The instant the enormous claw descended—

The surrounding world seemed to be cut apart, forming a spatial prison.

The region where Wu Ya’s flying boat was located became a complete heaven-and-earth cage.

This cage existed within the palm of that massive furry claw.

Innate Treasure — World-in-Palm!

“Escape!”

Remaining in the flying boat meant certain death.

Wu Ya roared and instantly transformed into endless spreading mist. The mist attempted to tear open the heaven-and-earth cage and escape.

At the same time, nine faint strands of mist secretly followed subtle causal lines, scattering and fleeing.

Wu Ya was a Source World cultivator with clone techniques. He had not purchased particularly powerful escape treasures, relying instead on his own escape abilities.

“Boom—”

The enormous furry claw suddenly clenched.

With that grip—

The entire world within the palm was annihilated.

The towering figure controlling the claw had the Simulated Eye of Life and Death open on his forehead. He clearly saw each hidden causal line Wu Ya used to escape.

As the palm closed and the world collapsed, each escaping mist body along every causal line was annihilated.

“No—”

Some strands of mist struggled fiercely as they were destroyed.

But Luo Feng’s claw was driven by the Immortal Blood Sea Body, possessing endless terrifying power.

The stubborn mist was crushed into nothingness and completely annihilated.

Mid-Stage God Emperor Comprehender Wu Ya—no matter how skilled he was at escaping—died in a single move beneath the massive claw. The treasures he carried also fell into Luo Feng’s hands.

“Mid-Stage God Emperor… Wu Ya.”

Luo Feng understood.

“So Heavenly Crane Elder sent Wu Ya to track us.”

“The power of this Innate Treasure World-in-Palm is indeed extraordinary.”

Luo Feng looked at the furry claw with satisfaction.

“With my strength, without the World-in-Palm—even relying on the Immortal Blood Sea Body—I’d probably need three to five moves to kill Wu Ya.”

“With the World-in-Palm, a single move is enough.”

No wonder the Elders coveted such treasures. They greatly increased combat strength.

Whoosh.

Luo Feng’s body flickered and turned into a blood-colored phantom, merging into the heavens and earth before disappearing.
