Next, I must unravel the secret techniques of the World Lifeform.” Luo Feng gazed at his palm, which held infinite might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura in Luo Feng’s palm surged violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Previously, mimicking the forms of chaotic-layer beings failed to ignite power. But the power of this ‘ten-directions world form’ can be burned, unleashing far greater force.” Luo Feng observed the faint burst of energy from his palm, “Yet, the moment of ignition demands far greater mental willpower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The secret technique of burning power must also be comprehended.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng was grateful: as the inheritor of the top-tier legacy, “World Lifeform,” he possessed numerous supporting secret techniques. The only problem was… at the level of Chaos Realm, comprehending these techniques was extraordinarily difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The capital of the Food Nation occupied an immense area; at its center stood a majestic imperial palace—the residence of the Skywhale Nation Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other four Skywhale Nation gods-king used distinctly different titles; the Formless Ancestor, the Knife Demon Ancestor, and the Skywhale Nation Lord had been inseparable companions since their days as first-rank gods-king, adventuring together and founding their nation. Even after the Skywhale Nation Lord ascended to second-rank gods-king, they still addressed each other as brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two, Flowing Jade God-King and Skull Peak God-King, joined later, by which time the Skywhale Nation Lord had already reached second-rank gods-king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All of you,” the Skywhale Nation Lord sat upon the main seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even seated, his invisible aura was so terrifying that the other four held their breaths. They all knew the Skywhale Nation Lord had obtained a more profound Primordial Bloodline from the Flame Wind Ancient Nation; his power, even as a newly ascended second-rank gods-king, far surpassed any ordinary newcomer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every second-rank gods-king was a regional overlord, initially seeking to break through to the Ultimate Realm by their own strength, for all knew that cultivating the Primordial Bloodline carried many drawbacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But over time, second-rank gods-kings came to realize… how impossibly distant the Ultimate Realm truly was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the gap became too vast, they would fall into despair—and choose another path: relying on external force, walking the Bloodline Path through the Primordial Bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the six emperors of the Flame Wind Ancient Nation, six had cultivated via the Primordial Bloodline; counting even the former life of the Emperor Consort, there had been as many as seven emperors on the “Bloodline Path.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All emperors of the Thunder Ancient Nation followed the Primordial Bloodline path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With both imperial clans choosing this route, it was clear this path was indeed a smooth road—its greatest advantage, obvious power growth, overshadowed all its drawbacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, powerful non-imperial beings, once trapped in a bottleneck, switched to cultivating the Primordial Bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their acquired Primordial Bloodlines and supporting resources were far inferior to those of the two ancient nations’ emperors, they still enabled tremendous leaps in power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I set an ambush with my allies inside the sacred site ‘Tianhe,’ aiming to destroy the Yu Nation Lord’s true body in one strike,” said the Skywhale Nation Lord. “If I kill his true body, all the resources and Primordial Bloodline he sacrificed so much to obtain will be wasted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a flaw of the Primordial Bloodline path: most resources were invested in the physical body. Once the true body perished, it was as if all wealth vanished. To revive and cultivate anew via a resurrection vessel meant starting from scratch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who cultivated through their own strength, even after reincarnation, could swiftly regain their peak power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Yu Nation Lord, gravely wounded, fled deep into Tianhe. We exhausted every means to hunt him—he ran straight into the most dangerous zones!” The Skywhale Nation Lord shook his head. “So my allies and I have decided to pressure him from outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other four gods-king of the Food Nation listened. Pressure from outside?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We will advance our borderlines comprehensively into Yu Nation territory,” said the Skywhale Nation Lord. “Not too fast—conquer one Chaos Province at a time. I want to see if the Yu Nation Lord still has the patience to hide inside Tianhe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brilliant,” the Formless Ancestor exclaimed excitedly. “The Yu Nation Lord has no body-splitting technique. He has only two choices: either stay hidden in Tianhe and watch his nation shrink bit by bit, or abandon his true body and cultivate a new one to defend his realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abandoning his true body and cultivating anew would diminish his power, but he would still remain a second-rank god-king, retaining considerable deterrence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if the Yu Nation’s gods-king intervene?” asked Skull Peak God-King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill them,” the Skywhale Nation Lord said calmly. “This plan was agreed upon by me and my allies—we must drive the Yu Nation Lord out of Tianhe. His Primordial Bloodline gives him superior advantages in exploring Tianhe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other four gods-king understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As first-rank gods-kings, they struggled immensely even to enter the most basic sacred site, “Infinite Space.” Among them, the Formless Ancestor had gained entry only through his brother’s favor and by selling himself to the Two Realms Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for rarer sacred sites? They dared not even dream of gaining access.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the battlegrounds of second-rank gods-kings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For first-rank gods-kings… their most stable means of acquiring resources remained their own territories. Vast lands continuously produced rare celestial treasures, and countless cities paid “residence fees”—though each sum was small, over time they accumulated into the largest income source for first-rank gods-kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Skywhale Nation Lord looked down on such gains—he set his sights on the resources within the sacred site “Tianhe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianhe’s resources greatly aided those whose Primordial Bloodlines leaned toward “water.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the Yu Nation Lord doesn’t show himself, few other gods-king would dare act—anyone who dares to strike will be destroyed once and flee far away,” said the Knife Demon God-King. “But, big brother, that Luohe Great Sage has a city, Hu Yang City, on the border. Should we act against him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luohe?” The Skywhale Nation Lord smiled faintly. “A single city? Let him keep it. Our goal is to pressure the Yu Nation Lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He got lucky,” muttered the Formless Ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Draft the detailed invasion plan yourselves. I have only one demand: act swiftly,” ordered the Skywhale Nation Lord. “I want to see if the Yu Nation Lord can endure it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancestor Wu Xiang, Knife Demon Divine King, Liu Yu Divine King, and Skull Peak Divine King respectfully obeyed the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Formless Ancestor, Knife Demon God-King, Flowing Jade God-King, and Skull Peak God-King bowed respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Hu Yang City, Luo Feng, clad in silver robes, stood among the forest, gazing at a plant bearing purple flowers. When he reached out and touched the purple bloom, it swayed gracefully, its aura rapidly strengthening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From an ordinary plant, its aura surged instantly to True God level, then Void True God level, and finally Eternal True God level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom.” The purple flower exploded into ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even a single Eternal True God-level lifeform cannot be awakened,” Luo Feng shook his head. “On the Origin Continent, some ancient beings can awaken gods-king-level power. The gap is not merely large—it’s incomparable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng walked to a nearby red fruit tree and tried touching it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red tree swayed as its aura surged, then, like before, collapsed into ash upon reaching Eternal True God-level energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Try again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grass, flowers, even rocks—Luo Feng attempted to awaken them all, yet everything turned to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A distant beast, watching from afar, saw the flora’s aura surge to Eternal True God level before vanishing into ash, and fled in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where is the flaw?” Luo Feng stood in the forest, deeply frustrated, pondering endlessly—what defect existed in the integration of the Six Life Branches?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his relentless contemplation…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The myriad collisions of the Six Life Branches suddenly revealed one complete branch in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?” Luo Feng froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Spirit Branch?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng had long sensed that comprehending the Six Branches of the Life Origin Dao would make this obvious—but he had followed the top-tier legacy’s guidance, deliberately avoiding deliberate pursuit, instead focusing entirely on comprehending higher-level techniques from a lower realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, without deliberate effort, the complete Life Spirit Branch had surfaced in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this is the complete Life Spirit Branch,” Luo Feng carefully felt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom.” “Boom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Luo Feng comprehended the complete Life Spirit Branch, two other branches naturally revealed themselves—the two he had studied longest: “Life Source” and “Life Body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three branches understood?” Luo Feng smiled, feeling the three branches as he compared them with the “Ten-Directions World Form” technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of insight appeared in his mind, deepening his understanding of the Ten-Directions World Form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the remaining three branches also became clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Branch—the Blood Branch was one of the most renowned divisions of the Life Origin Dao; many gods-kings of other paths yearned to comprehend it, for it greatly aided in cultivating the Primordial Bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vitality Branch—once perfected, vitality became boundless; even if a divine force was annihilated, it would naturally regenerate! To completely erase it became a hundred or a thousand times harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Life-Death Branch. Outside the Origin Continent, legends spoke of a “Death Origin Dao,” encompassing countless aspects. But the Death Branch of the Life Origin Dao was merely one facet of life: only through “decay” could true “renewal” emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At last, after accumulating so much, I unlocked one branch—and it triggered the spontaneous comprehension of all six,” Luo Feng felt immense joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Luo Sa had unlocked all six branches at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though I experienced slight temporal separation, I still unlocked all six within the time of a single cup of tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Compared to this, my accumulation of the Destruction Origin Dao is far weaker,” Luo Feng realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, Mo Luo Sa’s display of Destruction Origin mysteries lacked the complete, awe-inspiring impact of the Original Universe’s “Life Origin Dao,” yielding far weaker comprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Luo Feng had devoted most of his focus to the “Ten-Directions World Form”—after all, transformation arts suited this path best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that I’ve unlocked them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me become a gods-king.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng had no hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1776,"2026-06-20T20:44:59.403Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a16522ec405acb1d35702f69805825e7c7035a15f12f3ec348f3e86bb9496b92","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-176","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-174",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdevouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-cover.jpg"]
