No one would agree to that,” said the Lord of Yuanxiu with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ten billion cosmic sands per pearl—I’d be willing to buy a few,” came a distant voice, spoken by a peak Chaos Realm cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the Lord of Huangfeng City felt deeply disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Won’t this price sell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng, seeing this, was almost speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the “Blood Spirit Gold Pearl” mission lay the struggle among seven First-Rank Marquises of the Di Chu lineage; even these Marquises constantly expend resources, and managing to gather tens of billions of cosmic sands is already impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To exhaust all their wealth, they could only afford three or five pearls? Remember, the Biyun Great Saint secured a full twenty-five in the first round of contention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even buying three or five would have too little impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Chaos Realm transcendents were all invited by the First-Rank Marquises,” Luo Feng thought silently. “In the end, it’s still the Marquises who pay—and they can’t afford it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of accumulated treasures, the Chaos Realm transcendents naturally far surpassed the First-Rank Marquises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this mission ultimately belongs to the Marquises; the Chaos Realm transcendents won’t spend their own wealth. Like Luo Feng, Biyun Great Saint, and Lord Yuanxiu, they only helped out of personal ties—and none demanded compensation for this mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll lower the price—eight billion cosmic sands per pearl,” said the Lord of Huangfeng City, finally reducing it after seeing no buyers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet not a single person in attendance made an offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still too high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Six billion cosmic sands per pearl—that’s my lowest price,” said the Lord of Huangfeng City, his voice much lower. After waiting a long while, he finally smiled. “Looks like someone recognizes value after all. All Blood Spirit Gold Pearls have now been sold. Those who want to buy? Wait for the next round of contention!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the Lord of Huangfeng City turned into a gust of wasteland wind and vanished from the heavens and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene left Luo Feng, Lord Yuanxiu, and others stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sold? To which First-Rank Marquis?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be a fake sale?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blood Spirit Gold Pearls must be delivered to Chu Capital within ten days to complete the mission. After ten days, they turn into Blood Spirit Poison Pearls. He has no use for them if he keeps them—no reason to fake a sale.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chaos Realm transcendents and peak Chaos Realm cultivators present all speculated wildly, then began to depart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Luo Feng left, he glanced at Yan Su Great Saint in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh heh,” Yan Su Great Saint returned a half-smile, glancing at Luo Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what if I’m targeting you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Origin Continent, most ancient powerful beings operate by strict rules; they avoid making enemies lightly, as they have many attachments, and only when the fate of the Dao is at stake do they lose control and spare nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a few powerful beings, with no clan, few disciples, or subordinates, act without restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Su Great Saint is one such reckless figure. Of course, in terms of sin, many on the Origin Continent are far worse—he merely acts more arbitrarily, more cunning and cruel, without carrying out large-scale massacres.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His infamous reputation falls far short of the Snow Realm Ancestor, let alone the Lord of the Devouring Nation who destroyed multiple divine kingdoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng returned to Chu Capital at once. After the Blood Spirit Star’s eruption, a long time must pass before the next eruption. In one cycle, there are only two or three eruptions total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh.” Luo Feng arrived at the Chu Yu Marquis Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo He Brother,” said the divine force avatar of Chu Yu Marquis, greeting him. “My true body is currently on a mission.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Heaven-Rank mission has three sub-missions. The Blood Spirit Gold Pearl task is only one of them. Your own mission… is more important,” said Luo Feng, flipping his hand to reveal nine Blood Spirit Gold Pearls. “The Blood Spirit Star just had its first eruption—I obtained nine of these pearls.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard Lord Yuanxiu only got three,” said Chu Yu Marquis immediately, having received detailed intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, several Chaos Realm transcendents clashed, with some peak Chaos Realm cultivators watching—the intelligence reached the Yanfeng Guild fastest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yan Su Great Saint is strange,” said Luo Feng. “I’ve never met him, yet this time… he focused entirely on me. Chu Yu Brother, does he hold a grudge against you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yu Marquis shook his head. “I’m a newly promoted First-Rank Marquis. Before this, I was merely an Eternal True God. How could I possibly have a grudge against a Chaos Realm transcendental like ‘Yan Su Great Saint’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you have no feud with him, then it must be because of me,” said Luo Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo He Brother, just do your best in the Blood Spirit Gold Pearl contest—don’t force it,” Chu Yu Marquis smiled. “I’m the youngest among the seven First-Rank Marquises and newly ascended. Even if I rank low, it doesn’t matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng looked at him. “Regardless, you must fight hard for your own two sub-missions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course,” Chu Yu Marquis nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m leaving,” said Luo Feng, turning away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had taken the Blood Spirit Gold Pearl mission, he would naturally give it his all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yu Marquis watched Luo Feng depart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo He Brother’s temperament…” Chu Yu Marquis had already understood Luo Feng’s nature back in Hu Yang City—a man who deeply valued loyalty and righteousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve chosen Luo He Brother as my first retainer. It’s my luckiest decision,” Chu Yu Marquis thought, feeling deeply satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving Chu Yu Marquis Mansion, Luo Feng purchased a detailed dossier on “Yan Su Great Saint” through the Yanfeng Guild’s secret chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he returned, Luo Feng studied Yan Su Great Saint’s dossier. “We’ve never met, yet he’s targeting me so fiercely,” he thought, examining the intelligence closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t believe in unprovoked enmity—at the Chaos Realm transcendental level, no one makes enemies lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yan Su Great Saint’s Clone Technique…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng frowned as he read the dossier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Su Great Saint’s Clone Technique allows him to possess two complete clones and seven weaker ones! The complete clones maintain peak condition in body, soul, and all aspects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His Clone Technique has clear advantages over my Eight Catastrophe Life Form,” Luo Feng thought silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though both are called Clone Techniques, the differences are vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Luo Feng’s Eight Catastrophe Life Form, the Life Spirit Line, once mastered, allows a portion of one’s power, infused with sufficient life spirit, to exist independently. By separating part of one’s divine power, a clone forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creating hundreds or even thousands of clones is easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the total power of all clones combined equals the original’s full strength—nothing extra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each clone created weakens the original.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Life Spirit Line’s Clone Technique keeps all power as a single whole—no additional power is gained,” Luo Feng thought. “But Yan Su Great Saint’s technique adds a complete clone on top of his true body—effectively doubling his divine power and creating an extra soul! Plus seven weaker clones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng silently marveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he was also content, for under the Supreme Rule’s nine primordial Dao paths, most cannot produce Clone Techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Luo Feng’s knowledge, only the Time Primordial Dao and Space Primordial Dao surpass the Life Primordial Dao in Clone Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Time Primordial Dao, it is said, allows clones to exist separately in past, present, and future—profoundly mysterious and immensely powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Space Primordial Dao can break certain limitations, allowing for multiple complete clones; Yan Su, the Great Saint, possessing two complete clones is merely at the entry level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yan Su is currently ordered to guard the border city ‘Xiangjie City’—he must have one complete clone there,” Luo Feng reasoned. “The one participating in the Blood Spirit Gold Pearl contest is likely his other complete clone and several weaker ones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Luo Feng learned about Yan Su, the more he realized he had no way to counter him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Su had some servants and two disciples, but he didn’t care if they died—he’d lost disciples more than once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Yan Su, only cultivation mattered; everything else was irrelevant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord of Huangfeng City arrived alone at a dark forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t sell a single Blood Spirit Gold Pearl,” sighed the Lord of Huangfeng City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I told you—I’d buy all of them at three billion cosmic sands each. That’s already a high price,” said a figure formed from invisible cosmic forces, smiling at the Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord of Huangfeng City nodded and waved his hand, producing the twelve Blood Spirit Gold Pearls he had gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here,” he handed them all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As always, during the Blood Spirit Gold Pearl mission period, I buy all you have at three billion cosmic sands per pearl,” said the illusory figure with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord of Huangfeng City had been invited to join the contest by this being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He allowed the Lord to sell the pearls individually—but only at double the price. So the Lord had to sell for at least six billion cosmic sands per pearl…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the ancient being predicted, none bought them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The imperial clan of Yanfeng Nation are too stingy,” grumbled the Lord of Huangfeng City, frustrated that his public pricing failed to sell even one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been generous enough,” chuckled the illusory figure, then vanished soundlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord of Huangfeng City watched the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is this old devil?” he muttered, then teleported through space and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng returned to his cave near the Blood Spirit Star. His divine force avatar remained in the pavilion, meditating and sensing the star’s movements, while his true body trained within the Star Tower’s inner space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Three-in-One Form is extremely difficult to comprehend at my current realm,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng observed the law manifestations as the particles of the Three-in-One Form and Ten Directions World Form disintegrated, still feeling many confusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of accumulation, both the Life Spirit Line and Life Body Line had reached peak Chaos Realm! To go further? He’d need to become a God King. He also had golden scale insect materials and multiple perfect Chaos-layer biological materials as references.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His accumulations were deep—but confusion remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Blood Spirit Gold Pearl contest revealed many of my weaknesses,” Luo Feng admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In raw power, the Lord of Huangfeng City was equal to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In techniques, Biyun Great Saint clearly surpassed him—he couldn’t even identify Biyun’s true body, yet Biyun could strike effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With this strength, I still won’t secure many pearls in the second round.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng smiled faintly and took out a stone box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the box, nine pale red fruits lay inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Chaos Realm stage was always meant to consume five Hunyuan Crystal Spirit Fruits. Now is the critical moment.\" Luo Feng immediately took out one Hunyuan Crystal Spirit Fruit and closed the stone box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation had hit a bottleneck, and his friend’s mission was at a critical juncture—steel must be used where it counts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng felt that right now, he was on the blade’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng immediately began eating the fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fruit was tough; Luo Feng chewed it slowly, swallowing bit by bit, feeling the flesh break down in his abdomen, energy spreading to influence his soul, making his soul ethereal and his thoughts accelerating rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1927,"2026-06-20T20:44:59.403Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","dcae712364f1f47049ae0c68ad341c9d50f07d20b8b11c23c002890285e30c43","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-139","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-137",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdevouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-cover.jpg"]
