This Chaos Realm cultivator sat there, his nine-segment tail slowly swaying, his emerald eyes tinged with unease: “Did the Luohe Shenwang personally issue the order?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t taken Yuan seriously—he was merely a newly promoted Chaos Realm cultivator who became a guest minister of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom solely through Luohe’s connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luohe Shenwang is a dominant force capable of directly battling the Tiankun Nation’s sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beifeng Shenwang,” the Chaos Realm cultivator immediately sent a message upward, “the guest minister Yuan, acting on Luohe Shenwang’s command, orders us to withdraw from the twenty surrounding Chaos Provinces.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luohe? Even the Shi Kingdom and Yu Kingdom dare not oppose us—he’s bold indeed! I’ll handle this matter myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” The Chaos Realm cultivator exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luohe Shenwang could obliterate him with a single breath—he was under immense pressure; this kind of matter should be left to the higher-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan stood on the square, having delivered the order from the Luo City Lord. The entire cave mansion fell silent, not a single reply uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A minor branch has no authority to decide whether to withdraw—it’s probably reporting upward.” Yuan waited patiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a terrifying energy descended from the void, coalescing into a towering figure with emerald hair. Merely standing there, he altered the fundamental rules of the surrounding heavens and earth, unleashing endless winds from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emerald-haired figure, his beard thick and wild, fixed a single eye on Yuan: “Guest Minister Yuan? I’ve heard of you. Luohe holds you in high regard—he helped you secure your position as guest minister of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re Beifeng Shenwang.” Yuan recognized him at once, since the man hadn’t concealed his identity. He smiled: “As a newly promoted Chaos Realm cultivator, becoming a guest minister of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom is indeed fortunate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll get straight to the point,” Beifeng Shenwang said. “Luohe wants our Mother River to completely withdraw from these twenty Chaos Provinces? Impossible! Our Mother River has existed here for eons—even before the Shi and Yu Kingdoms were founded, when other nations ruled this land.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter who founded these kingdoms!” Beifeng Shenwang stared at Yuan, “none have the right to forbid us from recruiting members.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We don’t mind if recruitment is minimal,” Yuan said. “But you’re recruiting in every single one of these twenty provinces, screening candidates, and taking away only the most elite. You didn’t even inform our Luo City Lord—isn’t that excessive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Each city recruits once every thousand eons—is that too much?” the emerald-haired figure said. “As for informing you? Your Luo City Lord only needs to ask around—he should know who we are! He should know… our Mother River is something he cannot afford to provoke!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. Get out now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emerald-haired figure sneered at Yuan: “Don’t think you can provoke our Mother River just because you can hold your own against the Tiankun sovereign!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan sighed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible force descended upon the square within the cave mansion: an overwhelming torrent of World Force, completely suppressing the emerald-haired figure’s aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm?” Beifeng Shenwang’s expression shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silver-robed figure appeared beside Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore silver robes, a sharp horn on his forehead, his gaze cold and clear—this was Luohe Shenwang, whose name now echoed across the Origin Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luohe actually came?” Beifeng Shenwang stared at Luo Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-robed Luo Feng appeared ordinary in aura, yet the boundless heavens and earth around him were saturated with his World Force. He looked at Beifeng Shenwang, his voice calm: “Beifeng Shenwang, how dare you be so arrogant on my territory?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beifeng Shenwang reined in his aura, growing far more solemn—the overwhelming pressure of the World Force surrounding him was immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greetings, Luo City Lord,” Beifeng Shenwang said politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You understand my demand,” Luo Feng said. “Give me your answer: withdraw, or don’t.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beifeng Shenwang shook his head without hesitation: “Our Mother River has taken root in this land for countless eons—we will not withdraw. Luo City Lord… though your talent is extraordinary, you should know which beings on the Origin Continent you cannot provoke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know the renown of the Mother River’s Master,” Luo Feng smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know, yet still dare to drive us away?” Beifeng Shenwang roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One last time,” Luo Feng regarded him calmly. “Will you withdraw, or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beifeng Shenwang growled: “Luohe, don’t bring disaster upon yourself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng shook his head gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boundless World Force converged, enveloping Beifeng Shenwang’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng’s true body’s World Force could cover eighteen Chaos Provinces; when the vast majority of it focused on a single point, the pressure was unimaginable. Beifeng Shenwang felt crushed from every direction, bound from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You dare!” Beifeng Shenwang cried out in shock and fury, yet despite being among the strongest in the first layer of Shenwang, he couldn’t move a muscle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I gave you face—I asked you to withdraw. You refused. Then I’ll simply drive you out!” Luo Feng’s eyes turned icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the World Force surged violently. Beifeng Shenwang’s face twisted in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll regret this.” Beifeng Shenwang glared at Luo Feng—then his body was crushed into dust under the overwhelming force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just a small lesson,” Luo Feng said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Destroying only a true body was indeed just a lesson. Beifeng Shenwang had anticipated the talks failing and brought no treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan watched the entire scene. After Beifeng Shenwang’s true body was annihilated, Yuan spoke: “Luohe, isn’t the Mother River dangerous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry,” Luo Feng smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the Mother River’s true nature well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What now?” Yuan looked around. He sensed other Mother River members still within the cave mansion—though all were only Eternal True Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait,” Luo Feng said. …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Origin Continent, within a hidden world created by the Mother River—also known as the “Mother River World.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless lifeforms lived and multiplied here. Eternal True Gods, Chaos Realm cultivators, and Shenwang all cultivated here—it was the true core of the Mother River’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Luohe is too arrogant! He doesn’t respect our Mother River at all!” Beifeng Shenwang’s divine energy avatar roared in fury. “On the Origin Continent, what is Luohe?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard he can match Tiankun—he has incredible vitality.” A towering figure seated at a distance suddenly rose, smiling. “I’ll test him. Let’s see how many blows his body can take.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yufu, he’s just a kid—why do you need to intervene?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yufu, leave this to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding Shenwang all tried to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yufu Shenwang was second only to the Mother River’s Master within the entire Mother River faction—and in direct combat, his strength rivaled even the Master’s. Only the Master’s methods were more mysterious and unfathomable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll handle this myself,” a voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the Shenwang turned to see a figure clad in black robes, as if fused with the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the Shenwang rose and bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother River’s Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zongfu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother Zongfu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They addressed him differently, but all with deep respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zongfu, are you going to meet him personally?” asked the towering Yufu Shenwang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luohe’s current strength is ordinary,” the black-robed man smiled. “But in the future, he may influence the order of the Origin Continent. I should meet him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yufu Shenwang nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were lifelong friends, having climbed to this height together. They were the very core of the Mother River faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the square within the cave mansion, the silver-robed Luo Feng stood waiting, Yuan beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s here,” Luo Feng sensed a force arriving instantly within the range of his World Force, as if teleporting—appearing before him from a distant place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black-robed man stood before him, his smile radiating boundless charm, infused with profound life energy and mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother River’s Master—Zongfu Shenwang?” Luo Feng regarded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So your master told you everything about me?” the black-robed man smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The former strongest minister of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom,” Luo Feng said. “How could I not know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the early days of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, when Emperor Yan was its first emperor,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there were only three Shenwang of the second layer in the imperial clan, and five guest ministers who were also Shenwang of the second layer. The strongest among them was Zongfu Shenwang—he was Yanfeng’s most powerful minister, waging wars across the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that era, Zongfu Shenwang’s strength was nearly invincible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the black-robed man sighed. “Back then, Emperor Yan relied on me heavily. I, as a guest minister Shenwang, chose to fully join Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom—devoting myself entirely to its service. But look at how it ended.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because my weapon was too powerful,” the black-robed man sneered. “Emperor Yan mobilized the entire Yanfeng Kingdom to kill me. He simply couldn’t tolerate a minister stronger than himself! I had no vast resources—I wasn’t a Ultimate Lifeform. I only reached high enough in my realm and acquired one powerful weapon to rival him. That was enough to make him intolerant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed man looked at Luo Feng: “Luohe, your potential may be even greater than mine. Do you think they’ll tolerate you in the future?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At least now, my master and others have shown me kindness,” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng understood the strength of the man before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the entire Origin Continent, only five Shenwang of the second layer had ever crossed realms to match Emperor-level and Sovereign-level beings, according to his master’s intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were: the Fengdu Empress, the Earth Shenwang, the mysterious powerhouse of Shadow Heaven, the Fire Ancestor, and the man before him—the Mother River’s Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fengdu Empress and the Fire Ancestor were relatively detached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Shenwang… bore a deep grudge against the Thunder Ancient Kingdom and usually acted alone. He joined the Cycle Pavilion only because of his close ties with the Fengdu Empress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow Heaven figure was so mysterious, even the two Ancient Kingdoms didn’t know his true identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mother River’s Master’s true identity was Zongfu Shenwang—he had clashed repeatedly with the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom for countless eons. Many Shenwang who held grudges against Yanfeng joined the Mother River, making it stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Ancient Kingdoms, the three top-tier factions, and the five supreme powers—these were the forces that determined the order of the Origin Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Two Realms Palace, the Ten Thousand Methods Tower, and the Timeless Solitary Boat—these three factions, guided by powerful non-human beings rivaling the Primordial Ancestors, were extremely difficult to deal with. They sought no change to the Origin Continent’s order, only the remnants left by Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of the five supreme powers had joined the three non-human factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right,” the black-robed man smiled at Luo Feng. “They’ve shown you kindness now. Then today, let’s consider ourselves acquainted. I agree to your demand—I’ll order my people to withdraw from your twenty Chaos Provinces immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I believe… one day we will join hands,” the black-robed man smiled, then vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng stood on the square, frowning slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Will you join forces in the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1860,"2026-06-20T20:44:59.403Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","887196370b313b76071e04d3b193355bb5dcd11a36b1fa500aa6cf98ea96e4ab","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-191","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-189",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdevouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-cover.jpg"]
