His feathered body radiated ink-like mist, a streak of crimson blood-red atop his head, his cold eyes half-closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was born in a primordial universe, crossing the Cycle Passage to reach the Origin Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that primordial universe, he was a unique lifeform, born as a ferocious, predatory bird! He delighted in devouring living beings… In that primordial universe, he was a nightmare, exterminating one tribe after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, he became the most terrifying entity in the surrounding territories of that primordial universe; all life within it was devoured. Only after he crossed the Cycle did new life in that region begin to breathe again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon arriving at the Origin Continent, his power continued to rise, and later he seized control of his home primordial universe! His divine force incarnations freely devoured living beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On the Origin Continent, I’m still not strong enough—I must hold back.” Jiuye Shenwang was born to devour life, yet now he could only slightly “whet his appetite” within his own domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The children he raised on the Origin Continent possessed extraordinary bloodlines, inherently powerful, and most also enjoyed devouring living beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When will I become truly invincible on the Origin Continent? Then I can turn the entire continent into my hunting ground.” Jiuye Shenwang’s cold eyes held anticipation—“That would be true ultimate pleasure, true ultimate freedom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible attack descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiuye Shenwang vanished without a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if an eraser had wiped him clean! He was simply gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His weapons, secret treasures, and other belongings fell to the side, untouched by even a fraction of the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the quiet chamber, the black-robed Luo Feng appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too weak.” Luo Feng shook his head lightly. “My Great Annihilation Form had barely seeped in—and he was gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Annihilation Form was forged from the fusion of six branches of the Dao of Life and Death, possessing a curse-like trait capable of affecting all of an opponent’s incarnations! Of course, Jiuye Shenwang had no incarnations—in the instant of his death, his resurrection vessel was also struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A resurrection vessel could be a single drop of blood, a single feather… its resistance was far weaker than any incarnation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the Great Annihilation Form, it was instantly obliterated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he died too swiftly, Jiuye Shenwang had no time to activate his reincarnation secret art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re the first Shenwang to die by the Great Annihilation Form.” Luo Feng was satisfied with the technique’s power—no wonder it took thirty-plus eons to create, modeled after dream-memory images.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Annihilate.” Luo Feng’s mind stirred—a wisp of black smoke instantly traversed vast distances, descending upon Jiuye Shenwang’s seven children. Of Jiuye Shenwang’s offspring, only one daughter, who despised devouring life and had become a disciple of another Shenwang, was spared; the other seven, like their father, delighted in long-term consumption of countless living beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Jiuye Shenwang’s death, the primordial universe he controlled regained its freedom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hum.” Outside the primordial universe, a slightly smaller, massive small universe began to collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Sacred Ground is collapsing? The Ancestor is dead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible! How could the Ancestor die?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among Jiuye Shenwang’s descendants in this small universe, terror surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet across the primordial universe and countless small universes, cheers erupted! For countless Cycle eras, all life had lived under Jiuye Shenwang’s shadow—even the primordial universe had been enslaved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had once been his meals, chosen and devoured at will, with no power to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, at last, Jiuye Shenwang perished—they were finally freed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiuye Shenwang’s death drew some attention from factions on the Origin Continent, but none paid it much mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, ordinary Shenwang of the First Realm frequently perished. Even if they were weak and destroyed, they usually had time to reincarnate! Reincarnation to evade disaster was common among ordinary Shenwang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Jiuye Shenwang was weak, before Luo Feng had awakened the Great Annihilation Form, he could not have prevented Jiuye Shenwang’s reincarnation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the Chaos Indestructible Light could not instantly obliterate Jiuye Shenwang and his resurrection vessel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the ultimate will of a Shenwang combined with the Lie Yuan Technique, there was no guarantee of total annihilation. After all, Jiuye Shenwang had risen from a primordial universe—he was no artificial Shenwang like those of the Shadow Heaven Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh… huh… huh~~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning his disciple An Fengya to Hu Yang City, Luo Feng continued his journey across the Origin Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tianji Ice Plain was harsh; the deeper one went, the colder it became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here…” Luo Feng walked into a vast, warm, and comfortable region—no snow or wind, lush vegetation thriving, numerous tribes dwelling in the wilds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The environment here was comfortable, and the number of cultivators had greatly increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Fire Ancestor Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire Ancestor resided long-term in Fire Ancestor City, ruling over an immensely vast territory. Because of his presence, this entire region had become warm and habitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This area covered less than one-tenth of the Tianji Ice Plain, yet housed over half of its living beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the Second Realm of Shenwang, there are five wandering cultivators with Emperor-level power. Among them, the Wind Capital Empress and the Fire Ancestor are especially transcendent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They are transcendent because they do not compete.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire Ancestor dwelled in the remote Tianji Ice Plain, joined no faction, and was rarely seen in any treasure-rich lands—yet his power was immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two ancient nations greatly admired such cultivators!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He does not compete, yet he protects over half the living beings of the Tianji Ice Plain.” As Luo Feng traveled, he saw the prosperity of the Fire Ancestor Realm—countless beings held the Fire Ancestor in profound reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng also gazed far off at Fire Ancestor City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire Ancestor City resembled a warm source, its invisible laws naturally extending across the vast territory. “Though he does not compete, he protects countless beings to the best of his ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Admirable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng felt profound respect; he admired very few strong beings on the Origin Continent—the Fire Ancestor was one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh~~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng continued walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo He?” Inside Fire Ancestor City, a plain-dressed figure with red hair gazed at Luo Feng from afar and smiled. “Another formidable presence is about to emerge on the Origin Continent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone entering the Fire Ancestor Realm could be sensed by the Fire Ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire Ancestor closed his eyes, his mind merging with countless flames across heaven and earth—some cooking food, some refining elixirs, some forging weapons…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng arrived at the Dongji Region, the most remote and desolate land on the Origin Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Dongji Region’s Ancestor protects this land; the Wind Capital Empress herself hails from here.” Luo Feng walked through this vast territory, where the celestial forces were noticeably thinner and celestial treasures scarce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the environment here was comfortable, and all kinds of fruits were common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The native beings here were all large and robust; they rarely used refined weapons or secret treasures, instead wielding simple stone clubs or wooden staves. Their diet was plain—just ordinary fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They worshipped heaven and earth; many natives meditated on the heavens and earth, seeking to comprehend them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they fought, they were cruel and frenzied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Native beings care nothing for external things—they seek the inner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet among them, many Shenwang-level beings have emerged—even beings on the level of the Wind Capital Empress. Who dares say their path is wrong?” Luo Feng understood their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reject all externals, focus entirely on oneself, focus entirely on the Dao! This was the path of the native beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng reached the very edge of the Origin Continent, gazing ahead—endless cosmic sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaotic currents surged violently, dark and boundless, with no visible end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether primordial universes or the Origin Continent—this world is wondrous.” Luo Feng sat cross-legged at the continent’s edge, gazing at the cosmic sea. “Yet ancient Shenwang often treat countless living beings as cultivation fuel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Each possesses extraordinary wisdom, having glimpsed parts of the Dao’s workings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet they care nothing for the joys, sorrows, anger, or pleasures of ordinary life—they care only for their own strength! Whether they can reach the Ultimate Realm! Whether they can transcend the Source World!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, those ancient beings meticulously plotted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps this is simply part of heaven and earth’s operating rule.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng understood this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven and earth’s operation is composed of nine complete Daos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strong devour the weak… is one facet of it, driving countless beings to compete and strive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emotional resonance… is the hallmark of life. Luo Feng understood—he felt pity for the weak, and that was his own emotion of “compassion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The operation of heaven and earth weaves together the strong devouring the weak, emotion, order, destruction and cleansing, hope… all aspects intertwining to sustain the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All things have their Dao; each has its own fate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have my own Dao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The cultivator’s path is to surpass heaven and earth with one’s own strength!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To transcend heaven and earth’s Dao with my own, and utterly escape the Source World.” Luo Feng’s gaze was calm. “Then I shall decide how all things operate! Order, fate—they shall be mine to determine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is cultivation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following heaven’s will—that is mediocrity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To surpass heaven and earth with one’s own strength—that is the cultivator’s pursuit, and the highest rule’s hidden hope: that the beings it births might transcend it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Luo Feng’s soul underwent another transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over two hundred eons as a Shenwang, his powerful soul foundation, Dream Realm cultivation, Infinite Space cultivation, the Five-Colored Treasure Herb’s Destruction Scale, confronting dream-memory to create the Great Annihilation Form, traversing the Origin Continent refining his seven emotions…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slow, cumulative transformations—until now, quantitative change triggered qualitative transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strength can surpass heaven!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng’s soul-will formed a clear human shape, his face identical to Luo Feng’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clear figure enveloped Luo Feng, his terrifying will condensed entirely, surveying all directions with overwhelming might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Soul Body?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His soul-will had grown so potent it could detach from his physical body, forming a phantom form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel… this Soul Body is stronger than my physical body.” The soul-will beyond Shenwang level was immensely powerful—every Shenwang’s will would be suppressed, even destroyed, before it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The breakthrough from Divine King-level willpower to beyond Divine King-level willpower is the most difficult bottleneck on Luo Feng’s path of spiritual will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bottleneck has also trapped many Divine Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Origin Continent, only a handful can achieve this step—and now Luo Feng is among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1763,"2026-06-20T20:45:00.697Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e490b4a5fc43c72cd6cc76ead5f3ce55bab4b246fa5470c14db4f002ea815d56","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-213","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-211",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdevouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-cover.jpg"]
