Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent-Chapter 298 : The Largest Race

Chapter 298: The Largest Race

“The Blood Demon Elysis was killed?”

Emperor Qing’s heart surged like a raging sea.

These naturally born Primordial Lifeforms might have crude techniques, but every one of them possessed extremely tenacious vitality.

Defeating them was easy.

Killing them was difficult.

According to the experience of the Jiugang Holy Realm, when a Comprehender at the same level fought a Low-Rank Primordial Lifeform one-on-one, the Comprehender generally held a slight advantage. But killing the opponent was extremely difficult. That was why hunting teams usually needed several members.

“Luo Feng killed a Late-Stage God Emperor Low-Rank Primordial Lifeform all by himself. That level of strength is considered extremely powerful even among the Elders,” Emperor Qing thought. “The Heavenly Crane Elder is nothing to fear!”

Even if the Heavenly Crane Elder had deeper accumulation, as long as he had not reached the Half-Primordial level, he would not be able to kill Luo Feng at this level of strength.

Even if the Heavenly Crane Elder suppressed him slightly… Luo Feng’s reputation would still spread throughout Rainlan City.

“Alright, let’s continue hunting.”

Emperor Qing calmed himself and piloted the Black Flying Boat forward again.

“Brother Luo Feng, this should be the last time we hunt together as a team,” Emperor Qing sighed. “I originally thought I could at least help a little. But who would have thought I couldn’t even get involved and instead became your burden.”

Late-Stage God Emperor Low-Rank Primordial Lifeforms were too dangerous. Just the earlier Elysis Poison—if even a tiny amount touched Emperor Qing, that clone of his would have been completely annihilated.

“Brother Emperor Qing was able to reach Mid-Stage God Emperor within a single Cycle of Reincarnation on the Origin Continent,” Luo Feng said with a smile. “That level of talent surpasses even the Ancestors of the Two Kingdoms. In the future, not only the Elder level… you might even have hope of reaching the Half-Primordial level.”

Emperor Qing smiled.

He indeed had that confidence.

But Emperor Qing also understood that he would need to spend extremely long years, endure endless hardship, and face countless life-and-death struggles just to touch the Half-Primordial level.

That would likely be the limit of his life.

But Luo Feng’s growth speed…

For him, the Half-Primordial level was practically within reach.

There was no real obstacle.

“Perhaps only escaping the Prison Cage will require Luo Feng to spend long years,” Emperor Qing thought. “With talent like his, he might truly have hope of escaping the Prison Cage.”

But he also knew that escaping the Prison Cage was extremely difficult.

In the Dark Holy Realm, the minimum threshold was a Late-Stage God Emperor Comprehender, and Half-Primordial beings were everywhere.

It gathered experts from countless worlds.

Yet even there, escaping the Prison Cage remained a legend.

Difficult.

Extremely difficult.

“I wonder whether Luo Feng’s potential is enough to escape the Prison Cage and become a Primordial Lifeform,” Emperor Qing thought.

…

While the two of them talked, they remained highly vigilant.

The Simulated Eye of Life and Death on Luo Feng’s forehead constantly observed the surroundings, while the Profound Azure Heaven Annihilation Formation Diagram inside his body continued operating, forming a massive domain protecting the area.

Previously, when they were ambushed by the Blood Demon Elysis, it was precisely this formation domain that allowed Luo Feng to save Emperor Qing in time.

“Hm?”

The Simulated Eye of Life and Death on Luo Feng’s forehead looked toward a distant spot on the left.

There was a cloud there.

Though the cloud concealed what lay inside, Luo Feng could barely see through it.

Within the cloud were creatures with blue-white scales and eight hooves. Each creature had a single horn, and cold energy spread from them, naturally forming the surrounding cloud.

“Frost Soul Watchers… fifteen of them.”

Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.

Among the Low-Rank Primordial Lifeforms in the Jiugang Holy Realm, there were many different races.

In terms of numbers, the Frost Soul Watchers ranked first.

Their population was terrifyingly large.

Rainlan City hunters had once witnessed several thousand Frost Soul Watchers moving together, including three Complete God Emperor Frost Soul Watchers.

Such an enormous group—

Not a single cultivator in Rainlan City would dare block them.

They almost always moved in groups.

A solitary Frost Soul Watcher was extremely rare.

A lone Frost Soul Watcher was usually one that had failed to compete for leadership and was expelled.

Anyone capable of competing for leadership would certainly be at the Complete God Emperor level.

Therefore, encountering a lone Frost Soul Watcher was actually more terrifying and dangerous.

“Fifteen Frost Soul Watchers?” Emperor Qing said in surprise. “Looks like a small squad.”

“Judging from their size, aura, and scale patterns, they should all be Mid-Stage God Emperor level,” Luo Feng said. “Among Low-Rank Primordial Lifeforms, the Frost Soul Watchers may be extremely numerous, but they are quite ordinary in every other aspect.”

Concealment, escape, attack, defense…

They knew a bit of everything, but none of it was exceptional.

“Let’s find a way to wipe out all fifteen of them,” Luo Feng said. “Emperor Qing, you help as well.”

“Alright.” Emperor Qing nodded. “I’ll try to block them.”

…

The cloud moved slowly through the sky.

Inside the cloud, the fifteen Frost Soul Watchers stood while observing all directions.

Although their observation abilities were far inferior to Luo Feng’s secret technique, the Simulated Eye of Life and Death, they still possessed their own methods.

They were patient.

Watching in every direction.

Once they discovered prey, they would move together.

Low-Rank Primordial Lifeforms loved hunting cultivators.

But the Frost Soul Watchers were an extremely vicious race. Because of their huge numbers, they would occasionally devour other Low-Rank Primordial Lifeforms as well.

Whoosh—

Endless waves of blood suddenly appeared, spreading across heaven and earth.

The blood-colored world enveloped the cloud and the fifteen Frost Soul Watchers.

“A cultivator!”

The fifteen Frost Soul Watchers immediately looked toward the two figures standing within the endless blood waves—Luo Feng and Emperor Qing.

“Kill.”

The blood waves devoured and crushed the cloud, but the cloud completely resisted the erosion.

At the same time, Emperor Qing deployed his sword formation from afar.

“The cultivator controlling the blood waves should be a Late-Stage God Emperor Comprehender. The one beside him is much weaker.”

“If we join forces, we can break the blood waves and tear them apart.”

The fifteen Frost Soul Watchers showed no fear.

If three or five Elders attacked them, they would flee immediately.

But just one Elder-level cultivator?

They excelled at group combat.

A team of fifteen dared to fight a Late-Stage God Emperor Comprehender.

Boom—

The fifteen Frost Soul Watchers moved together.

Frost energy spread everywhere.

Their cloud merged into a single entity, protecting all fifteen and completely resisting Luo Feng’s blood wave erosion.

“Cultivators, die!”

The massive cloud formed a gigantic claw that struck toward Luo Feng.

The power was terrifying.

Luo Feng struggled to resist, but the claw tore him apart.

His body shattered into blood waves and merged back into the endless Blood Sea.

“He specializes in transforming into a Blood Sea, but his physical combat is mediocre,” the Frost Soul Watchers communicated instantly. “Devour his Blood Sea.”

The massive cloud immediately began absorbing the blood waves.

Rip—

Suddenly, the endless Blood Sea erupted in fury.

“Profound Azure Heaven—Heaven and Earth as One Line!”

A beam of light formed from Life-and-Death aura shot out instantly.

It pierced through the massive cloud and through one Frost Soul Watcher’s body, destroying its Life Core in an instant.

The light carried blood waves with it, sweeping away the corpse.

“Hm?” The remaining fourteen Frost Soul Watchers were startled. “His Blood Sea is good with formations. Its power is quite strong.”

“Continue devouring the Blood Sea. The smaller it becomes, the weaker his formation will be.”

The massive cloud devoured the Blood Sea crazily.

The absorbed blood energy was temporarily suppressed.

“These naturally born Primordial Lifeforms all have strange talents,” Luo Feng thought.

He was deliberately showing weakness.

If these prey decided to flee with all their strength, he could only intercept a few of them.

He needed them to believe they had a chance to win.

The endless Blood Sea Luo Feng released contained only one percent of his true Blood Sea energy.

Among cultivators, this level of body energy seemed normal.

The Frost Soul Watchers did not suspect anything.

Whoosh!

The Life-and-Death light struck again, piercing the cloud and taking another Frost Soul Watcher with it.

“We’ve already devoured thirty percent of the Blood Sea. He won’t last much longer,” the Frost Soul Watchers said.

At this moment they refused to retreat.

They devoured the Blood Sea even more frantically.

The Blood Sea visibly shrank.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Life-and-Death light attacked three more times.

Three more Frost Soul Watchers died.

Now the endless Blood Sea had shrunk greatly.

Whoosh.

The sixth Life-and-Death light could no longer penetrate the cloud.

“His Blood Sea is down to thirty percent. The formation power has weakened greatly. It can’t threaten us anymore.”

The remaining ten Frost Soul Watchers became even more ferocious.

The deaths of five companions only intensified their killing intent.

“You Low-Rank Primordial Lifeforms do have some tricks,” Luo Feng said coldly. “But you cannot defeat me.”

Suddenly, a streak of blood attempted to escape.

“Escape?”

The ten Frost Soul Watchers looked at the blood streak simultaneously.

An invisible fluctuation enveloped it.

Innate Talent—Soul Freeze!

Ten Frost Soul Watchers using Soul Freeze together was not particularly powerful.

Even without the Lieu Yuan Technique, Luo Feng could withstand it.

At most it would affect his escape technique slightly.

Moreover, he possessed the Lieu Yuan Technique and the Heart of Immortality protecting him.

The Heart of Immortality also protected the soul.

In reality, Luo Feng was completely unaffected.

“Ah!”

The escaping blood shadow seemed briefly disturbed.

The escape technique broke, revealing Luo Feng’s physical body.

“Cultivator, you cannot escape.”

The ten Frost Soul Watchers were excited.

The massive cloud expanded tremendously, attempting to devour all the blood waves—and Luo Feng himself.

“Is that so?”

Luo Feng looked crazed.

Boom.

He turned into a blur and forced his way through the blood waves.

A blurry claw swept across one Frost Soul Watcher.

Its Life Core cracked instantly.

Another corpse was taken away.

“What?”

The remaining nine Frost Soul Watchers became uneasy.

The cultivator who had already weakened so much had still killed another one.

“That’s enough.”

Luo Feng no longer wanted to delay.

First, the number had dropped from fifteen to nine—the threat had already been reduced by more than half.

Second, in the Elders’ hunting region, battles had to end quickly. The longer the fight lasted, the more likely unexpected events would occur.

Rumble—

The endless Blood Sea expanded.

A towering figure appeared.

Inside that towering body was the Heart of Immortality.

With the Heart of Immortality leading, countless veins spread throughout the body and the entire Blood Sea.

The Immortal Blood Sea Body, empowered by the Heart of Immortality, instantly increased in power several times.

Whoosh.

At the same moment the Immortal Blood Sea Body erupted, Luo Feng’s right hand transformed into a massive furry claw.

With his Immortal body wielding this claw—

One strike instantly tore apart the enormous cloud and ripped through the Frost Soul Watcher formation.

Two Frost Soul Watchers died instantly.

“He was hiding his strength!”

“He’s not an ordinary Elder!”

“Run!”

The remaining seven Frost Soul Watchers realized they had been tricked.

They instantly transformed into seven rays of light.

These rays resembled light of the soul.

Even the resistance from the Blood Sea was minimal as they fled rapidly.

But in terms of escape ability, they were far inferior to creatures like the Blood Demon Elysis.

Luo Feng could see the seven rays clearly.

Whoosh!

The Blood Sea surged.

Heaven and earth reversed.

“Suppress!”

The entire Blood Sea space descended in suppression.

In an instant, five rays were trapped and imprisoned within the Blood Sea Eye.

The other two rays attempted to escape.

One was covered by Luo Feng’s furry claw using the World-in-Palm.

The other was blocked by Emperor Qing’s sword formation.

Soon, all the Frost Soul Watchers were captured and killed one by one.

“We actually caught them all.” Luo Feng was excited.

A single Frost Soul Watcher was easy to deal with.

But fifteen working together was far more troublesome.

By pretending weakness, he had trapped them completely.

“Fifteen Frost Soul Watchers are worth nearly two hundred million Primordial Crystals,” Emperor Qing said excitedly.

He had finally contributed something.

“Let’s leave this place first,” Luo Feng said calmly.

He did not dare remain at the battlefield too long.

The two immediately piloted the Black Flying Boat and quickly flew away.

Only a few dozen breaths later—

Nine Frost Soul Watchers with even more terrifying auras arrived.

Their gazes pierced through the void.

Cold energy spread across a vast area as they carefully examined every trace of the battle.
