Mo Luo Sa’s utility has greatly diminished.” Luo Feng smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mastering a branch of the Dao allows one to glimpse part of the full Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching the Second Layer of the God-King Realm permits one to glimpse the complete Dao and to a degree, harness its power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Ultimate Realm, one fully masters the complete Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once my Life Dao also reaches the Second Layer of the God-King Realm, the aid from the Original Universe can be ignored.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many precious opportunities from the past have also steadily lost their importance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the Slaying Wu Wings, as a Permanent True God-level mechanical artifact, once aided Luo Feng when he first arrived on the Origin Continent. But as his strength grew, it became merely a memento.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Original Universe is soon to become useless; if Mo Luo Sa attains the Ultimate Realm, he might still offer some help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Lie Yuan Technique, as the most sophisticated will art I’ve ever seen, still greatly aids me. The Star Tower… grows ever more important the further I progress!” Luo Feng found this amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in his homeworld’s Original Universe, when he was weak, he believed the Tomb Ship, the Slaying Wu Wings, and the Blood Shadow Blade were all more valuable than the Star Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When one is weak, even treasures before one’s eyes are hard to truly perceive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his Master, Mountain Guest… who personally forged the Star Tower, regarded it as merely a God-King-level artifact! He never saw through its true nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Luo Feng pondered, he drifted leisurely and soon arrived at the Emperor Chu Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came to the Emperor Chu Palace to receive the subsequent transmissions of the Eight-Cycle Lifeform and the Seven-Twenty Slash. All he needed to do was demonstrate the profundity of his Second Layer God-King Realm on the Path of Destruction to prove his cultivation level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng had now obtained the complete transmissions of the Eight-Cycle Lifeform and the Seven-Twenty Slash across all God-King stages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Luo Feng now regarded these two transmissions merely as references.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Compared to the Top-Tier transmissions, they are indeed much simpler, and their techniques are relatively ordinary,” Luo Feng thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Top-Tier transmissions, theoretically the strongest techniques at their respective stages, are so difficult as to be inconceivable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the Twenty-Four Phases Lifeform: “Comprehending the essence of the Twenty-Four Phases” and “Studying matter compatible with the Twenty-Four Phases”—Luo Feng has only comprehended one aspect, and still has not unlocked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the Unification Technique of the Chaos Beast Body: that is a combat method designed specifically for the Chaos Beast Body! Luo Feng has only studied the combat method, not the Chaos Beast Body itself—he uses the technique with his stronger World Lifeform instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, for these two Top-Tier transmissions, the theoretically strongest techniques, Luo Feng has comprehended only fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the transmissions, Luo Feng naturally came to pay his respects to his Master. These two transmissions had saved him roughly two hundred million Guest Merit—of course he must thank his Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Feng.” Emperor Chu saw Luo Feng and could not help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was deeply satisfied with this disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having become a God-King for two hundred eons, he had already reached the Second Layer of the God-King Realm. Such talent left Emperor Chu astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, I have received the subsequent content of the two transmissions.” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Chu nodded approvingly. “When you first became a God-King, you were already invincible in the First Layer. I knew your talent was terrifying, but reaching the Second Layer so quickly… in the history of the Origin Continent, few have surpassed you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng knew there were indeed those who reached the Second Layer faster than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was partly due to his practice of comprehending higher-level techniques while still at lower realms, honing his insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your cultivation path has been smooth,” Emperor Chu said. “Some with great talent shine brightly at first, then suddenly hit a bottleneck… and become mediocre. But you have advanced smoothly to the Second Layer of the God-King Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your next goal is the Ultimate Realm!” Emperor Chu said eagerly. “The Ultimate Realm is incomparably harder than the Second Layer of the God-King Realm. You must still devote yourself wholeheartedly—do not let your guard slip for a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand,” Luo Feng said. He knew well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As your strength grows…” Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng, “some of my conflicts may inevitably involve you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Involve me?” Luo Feng blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are my disciple,” Emperor Chu said. “When you were weak, the peak beings of the Origin Continent paid you no mind. But now that you’ve reached the Second Layer of the God-King Realm, you’ve entered their field of vision.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are they?” Luo Feng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng: “Who do you think my enemies on the Origin Continent might be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his spiritual will had transformed, Luo Feng had fully concealed his will, hiding himself—but his perception remained sharp! As his Master sat there, the invisible pressure was terrifying—far stronger than the Return Void Emperor, even stronger than the Master of the Mother River!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng had personally seen the Master of the Mother River and the Wind Capital Empress—both could fight on par with Emperor-level beings through realm and artifacts. But in terms of life-force aura, they were vastly inferior to Emperors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With your strength, Master, the only ones on the Origin Continent who could be your rivals are other Emperors and Lords. There are only a handful of lone cultivators who could challenge you,” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My greatest enemies are the other Emperors of the Flame Wind Ancient Nation!” Emperor Chu’s gaze grew colder. Luo Feng was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Flame Wind Ancient Nation and the Thunder Ancient Nation are natural enemies. When facing outsiders, the thirteen Emperors of Flame Wind naturally unite. As natural foes, their enmities are clear-cut.” Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng. “But within Flame Wind, it’s different.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether exploring treasure sites, securing opportunities, or allocating resources, conflicts multiply.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deep within treasure sites, to seize artifacts, they kill fellow Emperor-level kin…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They strike down the disciples of other Emperors, exterminate their entire clans, and seize their treasures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng: “On the surface, there are thirteen Emperors of Flame Wind. In truth, their mutual hatred runs deeper than that between outsiders and lone cultivators.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng was secretly alarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumors had long said the Emperors’ relations were terrible—and it was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the future, you must clearly distinguish friend from foe,” Emperor Chu said to Luo Feng. “Among the thirteen Emperors of Flame Wind, Emperor Qing is the most transcendent and holds the greatest influence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next comes Emperor Yan—you must be cautious of him,” Emperor Chu said to Luo Feng. “Emperor Yan is the first Emperor of Flame Wind. He once ruled the ancient nation, controlling vast resource allocations… because back then, he was the only Emperor. He was also very kind to the royal family, aiding many juniors. Thus, his power remains immense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He and Emperor Wu are like brother and sister, bound by life-and-death friendship.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He married Emperor Xi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He, Emperor Xi, and Emperor Wu have always stood together. Because they are ancient and ruthless, they have accumulated the most treasures.” Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng. “All three possess complete sets of artifacts beyond God-King level. Together, they are utterly terrifying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Among the thirteen Emperors of Flame Wind, Emperor Qing ranks first. Emperor Yan, Emperor Xi, and Emperor Wu together form the second force.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Emperor Ming has a spiritual will beyond God-King level, allowing his Primordial Bloodline Body to unlock even more terrifying power. His spiritual will techniques are also terrifying… he should be considered the third major force among the thirteen Emperors of Flame Wind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All other Emperors, including Emperor Fu, each have their own interests and never form permanent alliances,” Emperor Chu said to Luo Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For bloodline cultivation paths, aside from Emperor Ming, most are more violent and reckless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For Primordial Body cultivation paths, they are relatively rational—but once they scheme, they become even more difficult to deal with.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone said Emperor Fu had high talent and might be the next Emperor Qing—but in terms of strength, among the twelve Emperors besides Emperor Qing, Emperor Ming was the strongest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My greatest enemy is Emperor Wu—my mortal foe,” Emperor Chu said to Luo Feng. “That’s why Emperor Yan and Emperor Xi also target me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand,” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She once ambushed me and sent me plummeting into the deepest depths of the Origin Continent’s greatest treasure site—the Blood River of the Heavenly Pillar. Any God-King of the Second Layer who touches the river’s polluted blood is instantly corrupted and dies. The pollution even affects their avatars, causing total death. I sank to the riverbed—my Ultimate-level lifeform was over ninety percent corrupted. I was about to die, but I barely survived by obtaining a secret treasure at the bottom of the river.” Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I get the chance, I will destroy her,” Emperor Chu said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She deserves to die,” Luo Feng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are there any Emperors who have a good relationship with you, Master?” Luo Feng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Chu paused slightly, then said: “None.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though not friends, the other Emperors have no mortal grudge against me,” Emperor Chu said. “As for the grudges among other Emperors… I’ll send you a detailed dossier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng received and reviewed the dossier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he studied it, Luo Feng realized Emperor Chu was actually quite decent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take Emperor Kong—he had terrible relations with every Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Ming—he had attacked every Emperor except Emperor Qing, overpowering them and forcibly seizing treasures. Because he was so strong, no Emperor dared to make him a mortal enemy. But likewise… Emperor Ming had no true friends either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Master, Emperor Chu, is among the better ones among the thirteen Emperors,” Luo Feng thought. “I never imagined Emperor Ming, who was so kind to me, was so tyrannical and ruthless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re ever involved with other Emperors, immediately inform me,” Emperor Chu said. “Don’t make hasty decisions—you could easily get trapped.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, Master,” Luo Feng replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Emperor Chu had predicted, only half an eon later, Luo Feng’s Guest Token received a mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Hu Yang City, Luo Feng stared at the mission in surprise. He had received many missions over the long years, but this one had unusual content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission content—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Within the Royal Forbidden Zone, 192 worlds each nurture one Primordial Bloodline Beast egg. Requires God-King Second Layer strength and 192 avatars to carefully tend the eggs. Only careful nurturing for three thousand eons is needed. Few guests can complete this task. After deliberation by multiple Emperors, Guest Luohe has been designated to accept this mission.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng was astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Designated for me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless it was a punishment like guarding Xiangjie City, normal guest missions were always voluntary—guests had the right to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1887,"2026-06-20T20:45:00.697Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","eaa628249ea0d68cd31c88968424756a8246261acdd7f1ffb53dc70fa42ff97e","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-216","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-214",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdevouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-cover.jpg"]
