It possessed eight pairs of enormous wings, and four massive hooves that seemed to support the entire world. Its single giant eye stared coldly toward Luo Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom—boom—boom~~~” Every movement it made was laborious, for chains bound it—chains emerging from nothingness, permeating its body, soul, and every part, rendering it unable to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It gazed toward Luo Feng, its eyes filled with terrifying killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng even saw the \"traces of past time\" on its body, witnessing its growth—from a weak, insignificant Jie Beast gradually evolving, exactly as depicted in the \"Thousand Three Void Jie Beast Map.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the past traces visible now were far more detailed and far more oppressive and terrifying than those in the \"Thousand Three Void Jie Beast Map.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is an image recorded by a powerful being observing a Jie Beast,\" Luo Feng understood somewhat. \"That powerful being could perceive the traces of the Jie Beast in 'past time.' He recorded this observation and preserved it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a weakling saw the Jie Beast, they would likely perish instantly, their soul annihilated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ability to see the Jie Beast’s traces in past time—this technique surpassed Luo Feng’s imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Emperor of the Flame Wind Ancient Nation merely observed the Jie Beast’s shadow and painted its images.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jie Beast Maps were merely fragments of the true Jie Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Jie Beast is bound?\" Luo Feng was stunned. Those chains extending from nothingness clearly prevented the Jie Beast from escaping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My soul, at the Second Level of Divine King, can only observe the Jie Beast’s shadow. The Jie Beast’s power must exceed the Ultimate Divine King realm. Yet even such a being remains bound and imprisoned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Luo Feng was stunned, he instantly deduced—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The even stronger being that bound the Jie Beast must belong to the cultivators. After all, the Jie Beast’s shadow had been passed down to the Flame Wind Ancient Nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Judging from the Jie Beast’s growth trajectory, it is not from the cultivators’ side,\" Luo Feng thought. \"It must be a terrifying lifeform from beyond the cage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng had to admit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely observing the Jie Beast’s growth path filled Luo Feng with admiration—yet an even greater being still managed to bind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maintain reverence,\" Luo Feng silently advised himself. \"Even the Jie Beast—a terrifying existence beyond Ultimate Divine King—is still bound. And I… am merely a tiny Chaos Realm cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng carefully memorized this vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it cost one hundred thousand merits to view it once, and the Legacy Hall granted ample time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original \"Thousand Three Void Jie Beast Map\" was a painting; this was a temporal-spatial vision—far more real and detailed. Luo Feng immersed himself, observing with meticulous care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only with an indestructible heart can one cross endless calamities.\" As he observed closely, Luo Feng’s understanding of the Jie Beast’s indestructible heart deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It could abandon everything—even its own life. Only by sparing nothing… through repeated cycles of Nirvana and transformation, did it reach this point.\" Luo Feng shook his head slightly. \"Yet precisely because of this, it abandoned even its former friends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It even consumed its companions who had shared hardships with it, multiple times.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng saw growth traces far more detailed than those in the \"Jie Beast Map.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its final stage, the Jie Beast had grown immensely powerful, surrounded by several followers. Yet solely to become stronger, it systematically destroyed and devoured each of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It grew stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On its path of growth, it needed no companions—only its own increasing power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On some final day, it was captured! No one saw who struck—it merely shifted through time and space, and it was dragged into a prison world, bound by chains of void, never to escape again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the Jie Beast’s end?\" Luo Feng gazed, sighing. \"Captured merely by a shift in time and space? Not even seeing who struck?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Its soul will was strong—but ultimately, power decides.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Without sufficient power, even it became a prisoner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a warning to Luo Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too difficult to defeat an enemy solely through soul will. One needed overwhelming soul will, plus an advantage in will techniques. The “Lie Yuan Technique” would grow weaker as his power increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could completely annihilate some Chaos Realm cultivators—partly because their will was far weaker than his, and partly because of the great advantage of the “Lie Yuan Technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ancient beings on the Origin Continent cultivated will techniques whose gap with the “Lie Yuan Technique” would narrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even the Emperors of the Flame Wind Ancient Nation and the Monarchs of the Thunder Ancient Nation have never been known to kill a Divine King solely through soul will,” Luo Feng understood. “Soul will is merely one factor in cultivation. Comprehending the Dao… is the foundation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing the Jie Beast’s shadow strengthened Luo Feng’s resolve toward the Dao and made him realize: there are no shortcuts in Dao cultivation! The help from the \"Lie Yuan Technique\" would inevitably weaken. It also showed him that beyond the heavens lie greater heavens—he must always maintain reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, and Luo Feng focused even more intently on comprehending the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, Luo Feng had been in Chu Capital for twenty-seven epochs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hidden space of the Origin Universe’s Source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng’s divine force avatar faced the complete Life Source Dao, seeing clearly its six branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have already advanced the Life Body lineage to the peak of the Chaos Realm,” Luo Feng gazed at the Life Source Dao before him. “I have collected seven perfect Chaos-layer biological materials, yet I still cannot comprehend the ‘Triune Form.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Calamity of the “Eight Calamity Life Form” records three branches: Life Spirit, Life Body, and Life Source. Both Life Spirit and Life Body have now been pushed to the peak of the Chaos Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before becoming a Divine King, no further advancement is possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve contemplated this so long and still can’t penetrate it. Must I become a Divine King before I understand the Triune Form?” Luo Feng thought. “Perhaps I should try consuming a Hunsour Crystal Fruit.” Originally, Luo Feng planned to bring all five major branches he focused on to their peaks, then use the remaining four Hunsour Crystal Fruits to break through to the Divine King level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, only two branches had reached the Chaos Realm peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to my Master’s words, a Chaos Realm cultivator consumes five, a Divine King First Level consumes five,” Luo Feng thought. “For the Transformation Technique to reach a higher level, consuming one is worth it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfecting the Transformation Technique would also deepen his understanding of the two branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo He, come to my Emperor Chu Palace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng’s soul consciousness received a mental transmission from his Master, Emperor Chu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My master hasn’t summoned me voluntarily in over twenty epochs?” Luo Feng was surprised. His true body immediately headed toward the Emperor Chu Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Emperor Chu Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Chu sat cross-legged, his figure towering, yet slightly frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ancestor sent back a batch of resources—all for our clan,” Emperor Chu mused. Not long ago, the Thirteen Emperors of the Flame Wind Ancient Nation were summoned by the Flame Wind Ancestor and granted a large quantity of resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This batch of resources was divided into thirteen portions—one for each of the thirteen imperial bloodlines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Ancestor instructed, these resources were naturally meant to cultivate the clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flame Wind Ancestor’s nature was this: he nurtured his own kin lavishly, while outsiders were merely recruited as honored guests—guests who had to earn merits through hard work to gain benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for training disciples? Whoever trained the disciple bore the cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, all elite members of the imperial clan will receive resources,” Emperor Chu thought. “My three disciples—the other two often come to me, seeking guidance. But my third disciple, Luo Feng… in over twenty epochs, he has never once come.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to imperial elites, Emperor Chu felt equally close to his three direct disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If imperial elites received resources, then his direct disciples deserved some too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng entered the hall from outside, bowing respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since becoming my disciple, over twenty epochs have passed—you’ve never once come to ask me for guidance,” Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng. “No confusion in your cultivation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng bowed respectfully. “Master, I have some confusion regarding the Life Source Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Chu’s eyelid twitched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life Source Dao?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t understand it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about the Destruction Source Dao? Are you progressing smoothly?” Emperor Chu asked—this was his area of expertise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For now, quite smoothly,” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the “Seven-Two Severing Blades” recorded the Heaven-Splitting and Dark Heaven branches, both were only at the peak of the Chaos Realm—mainly because one couldn’t directly face the complete Source Dao. Mo Luo Sa was merely a Chaos Realm cultivator, so his progress was slower than Luo Feng’s in Life Source Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Chu nodded, then asked: “What confusion do you have regarding the Life Source Dao?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng waved his hand, and a gray particle appeared before him. The particle split open, revealing two inner particles fused in yin-yang harmony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the most fundamental particle form of a perfect Chaos-layer being—the Triune Form,” Luo Feng said. “I’ve contemplated it extensively, yet still cannot penetrate it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Chu looked, and his head ached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He devoted himself entirely to cultivating the Destruction Source Dao. He had slight exposure to Material Source Dao, Causality Source Dao, and Spatial Source Dao—but only at the level of an ordinary Divine King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Life Source Dao? He truly didn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m deeply confused,” Luo Feng said. For over twenty epochs, he had devoted nearly all his energy to this. “Please, Master, guide me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Triune Form? It’s a relatively simple bodily structure,” Emperor Chu said, rapidly thinking—his imperial mind moved swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Chu suddenly waved his hand, and the corpse of a golden-scaled beetle appeared in the hall: “This is the corpse of a Chaos Realm creature. Its body structure is the more advanced ‘Ten Directions World Form.’ With this body, it could fight Divine Kings across realms. Study this superior ‘Ten Directions World Form’ carefully—perhaps, after understanding it, returning to the simpler ‘Triune Form’ will let you comprehend it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng stared blankly at the golden-scaled beetle corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse radiated immense power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This corpse?” Luo Feng frowned. He had never even heard of such a creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Emperor Lei’s obsession has been studying various Hunsour bloodlines. This is one of the special creatures he cultivated,” Emperor Chu said. “Go study it. When you’ve accumulated deeper insight, then consume the Hunsour Crystal Fruit—you may finally comprehend the Triune Form.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand,” Luo Feng said, immediately collecting the corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go, go,” Emperor Chu waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng respectfully withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I originally planned to give him resources. This golden-scaled beetle corpse is worth a hundred thousand merits—it counts as his resource,” Emperor Chu was satisfied. Since he took disciples, he refused to shortchange them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1855,"2026-06-20T20:44:59.403Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7ca91e24111d305f260a4b72be9226941c18087b0ca9b81861ae692d53e2875f","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-133","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-131",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdevouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-cover.jpg"]
