Killing these three is enough for me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three early monarchs of the Food Nation were closest in bond; even when Heaven Whale Monarch was still in the first layer of Divine King realm, they roamed the Origin Continent together. All three were utterly wicked. The two later monarchs, by contrast, carried far lesser sins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skull Peak Divine King was invited to join because he cultivated the Path of Life Origin and excelled in body duplication techniques, capable of handling many tasks. He was the dutiful type, exchanging labor for resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yu Divine King resembled Zuo Shan Ke; she was once monarch of the fringe minor nation ‘Liu Yu Nation.’ When the Food Nation expanded and neared Liu Yu Nation, its monarch surrendered before the Food Nation even moved. This gave the Food Nation no reason to attack. Among the five Divine Kings, she was the most inconspicuous and held the lowest status, yet she preserved her lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should we speak with them before killing them?” Luo Feng asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.” Zuo Shan Ke shook his head. “I have nothing to say to them! The more we speak, the greater the chance of mishaps. I only want them dead—completely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng nodded, rising. “Then let’s depart now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ensure every preparation is thorough. Do everything possible to conceal your identity from the two ancient nations.” Zuo Shan Ke rose to remind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rest assured.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black robes spread across Luo Feng’s body; a golden mask appeared on his face, his hair lengthening dramatically. His aura turned dark and profound, yet carried immense terror—perfectly mimicking the colossal eye from his dream memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng had studied that colossal eye in extreme depth, and from it, he created the ‘Great Extinction Style.’ Though his current imitation fell far short of the dream memory, it still stirred instinctive fear in Zuo Shan Ke beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a low-level being encountering a higher-dimensional life form, the fear was primal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With this appearance, few will guess my identity,” Luo Feng smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your aura is more terrifying than your true form,” Zuo Shan Ke couldn’t help saying. “I’ve met the monarchs of Thunder Ancient Nation—they cultivate Primordial Bloodlines, their auras utterly terrifying—but even they don’t match yours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His true aura already rivaled that of Emperor and Monarch levels; mimicking the colossal eye’s aura naturally made it even more terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A being like this should effortlessly annihilate the three Food Nation monarchs—that’s only natural,” Luo Feng said. “Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Shan Ke looked at his disciple and nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart surged—his revenge had waited too long, yet his disciple had surpassed even his wildest expectations! Earth itself had been reshaped by Zuo Shan Ke, then nurtured to birth humanity. Luo Feng was, in essence, his cultivated child, progressing step by step—guided by the Star Tower, the Nine Extinction Secret Scripture, and the Lie Yuan Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had watched Luo Feng grow, yet now he found himself unable to fully comprehend him. Still, Zuo Shan Ke felt a quiet satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh.” Golden liquid flowed across Zuo Shan Ke’s body; his aura vanished entirely. As the golden fluid shifted, he transformed into his appearance from the Primitive Universe region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the golden armor golem I forged—it barely reaches Divine King strength,” Zuo Shan Ke said. “My true body hides within it; the exterior golem emits no life aura whatsoever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng nodded. Most powerful Divine Kings possessed methods to conceal their auras—those entering Dream Realm always hid their identities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his master’s concealment technique was uniquely strange: walking externally as a golem, his true body utterly hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master’s artifact-crafting skills are indeed formidable. Let’s depart now.” Luo Feng immediately took Zuo Shan Ke and silently left Hu Yang City; in an instant, they arrived at the Food Nation’s capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the Food Nation’s capital, Luo Feng and Zuo Shan Ke gazed down at the vast city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?” Luo Feng frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?” Zuo Shan Ke asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heaven Whale Monarch’s true body isn’t in the capital,” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng had come in his World Life Body, carrying the secret treasure ‘Star Tower.’ His World Life Body, stabilized by the Life Lotus within, was immensely powerful—it could reflect the outside world and even draw vast regions into his internal world, imprisoning them there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through his internal world’s perception, Luo Feng confirmed: the entire capital held no sufficiently powerful lifeforms—only one Skull Peak Divine King’s clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star Tower also possessed abilities to capture, suppress, and seal. Luo Feng used it to sense his surroundings and detected no powerful auras whatsoever. To Luo Feng now, ordinary Divine Kings were no longer considered powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu Xiang Ancestor and Blade Demon Ancestor—I’ve already locked onto them. I can strike anytime,” Luo Feng said. “But Heaven Whale Monarch’s location remains uncertain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What then? If he’s entered some treasure realm to cultivate, he might stay there a long time,” Zuo Shan Ke said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng shook his head. “I’ve long subscribed to intelligence on top-tier Qiangzhe  of the Origin Continent—including continuous reports on Heaven Whale Monarch. According to the Yan Feng Guild’s data, since his last true body was destroyed and he restored himself via a resurrection vessel, he has been nurturing his Primordial Bloodline—and has never visited any treasure realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Shan Ke nodded. “As long as he hasn’t gone to a treasure realm, he must return eventually. We wait here in the capital,” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s all we can do,” Zuo Shan Ke nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Feng Ancient Nation, Yan Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Yan sat, savoring the food before him, praising: “Heaven Whale, among all on the Origin Continent, few rival your culinary skill. Your understanding of ingredients is unique—you uncover the inherent beauty of flavors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only with the top-tier ingredients you’ve prepared could I create these dishes,” Heaven Whale Monarch smiled humbly. “And these ingredients have deepened my understanding of the Primordial Bloodline, aiding my cultivation. I must thank you, Emperor, for this opportunity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Yan glanced at Heaven Whale Monarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He greatly favored Heaven Whale Monarch—obedient, always finding ways to please him, and most crucially… his dishes perfectly suited Emperor Yan’s taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven Whale Monarch cultivated the Path of Material Origin, studying all substances in heaven and earth, pushing the concept of ‘delicacy’ to unimaginable extremes. After cultivating the Primordial Bloodline, he even experimented with Primordial Bloodline flesh as ingredients—his cuisine became even more astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imperial family of Yan Feng Ancient Nation adored such luxury. After all, the pinnacle cuisine of the Origin Continent, in terms of flavor alone, could be considered Divine King-level. This allowed Heaven Whale Monarch to cultivate ties with many imperial Divine Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve prepared meals for me for an entire eon. Now, tell me—what favor do you need?” Emperor Yan smiled at Heaven Whale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven Whale had a good habit: never proactively request anything while serving Emperor Yan. He served faithfully until Emperor Yan asked—then he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty knows our Food Nation is surrounded by troublesome factions,” Heaven Whale Monarch smiled. “Yu Nation’s Yu Shui Monarch and Hu Yang City’s Luo He Divine King have allied! Our only viable target now is the second-rate nation next door—Han Sen Nation. Its monarch is merely an ordinary Divine King of the second layer—slightly weaker than me. But Han Sen Nation has close ties with Tian Mu Nation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Food Nation had already seized all easily accessible territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Yu Nation and Han Sen Nation remained adjacent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Nation seemed vulnerable, but who could have foreseen Luo Feng? He is now a Divine King of the second layer. The Food Nation has abandoned all thoughts of attacking him—Heaven Whale Monarch suspects… even if all ten of Luo Feng’s clones joined forces, he still couldn’t defeat them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Han Sen Nation?” Emperor Yan nodded. “Then return and prepare. When ready, I’ll send ‘Yan Xiu Divine King’ with you. With Yan Xiu Divine King involved, Tian Mu Nation won’t dare interfere.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the first Emperor of Yan Feng Ancient Nation, Emperor Yan’s lineage was numerous. Besides himself, two other imperial Divine Kings of the second layer existed: ‘Di Yan Qiong’ and ‘Di Yan Xiu.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Yan Qiong had greater ambition—he attempted to use Ultimate-level Primordial Bloodline to break into Emperor realm, but fell short, now in a semi-uncontrolled state. He is imprisoned in a small world, kept conscious only by arrays. By Yan Feng Ancient Nation’s rules, he won’t be released unless fully lucid. Had he been born in Thunder Ancient Nation, semi-uncontrolled beings could walk freely during lucid phases, only to be re-imprisoned upon losing control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Yan Xiu, with abundant resources, was Emperor Yan’s strongest imperial Divine King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With Yan Xiu Divine King present, even Tian Mu Nation must swallow its anger,” Heaven Whale Monarch rejoiced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Yan nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven Whale Monarch left Yan Feng Ancient Nation and returned to the Food Nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Having Yan Xiu Divine King assist is already excellent,” Heaven Whale Monarch was satisfied with this outcome. He had served Emperor Yan too long—he knew his temper well! Now that he was nurturing his Primordial Bloodline, if he asked for treasures to aid it, Emperor Yan might turn hostile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Emperor Yan was poor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Di Qing, all twelve Emperors owed the imperial clan massive debts. They even raised debts to the clan’s maximum allowed limit, borrowing every treasure they could for personal use—each now possessed powerful secret artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for repayment? Pay it slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I can swallow Han Sen Nation, I can devour one-third of its population. The rest can reproduce slowly, providing continuous cultivation sustenance,” Heaven Whale Monarch thought. “One-third of Han Sen Nation’s population would restore half my Primordial Bloodline’s strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Part of the Primordial Bloodline could be strengthened by consuming lifeforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless lifeforms born within the Source World are each a convergence of heaven and earth’s essence—immensely nourishing to the Primordial Bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh.” Heaven Whale Monarch calmly returned to the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a humble cave dwelling within the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng and Zuo Shan Ke sat facing each other, calmly discussing artifact-crafting arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s expression shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Shan Ke looked at Luo Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heaven Whale Monarch has returned,” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Shan Ke’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1759,"2026-06-20T20:45:00.697Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d04a0a6b5e69813cd5b41e17b4559d88711084081066a20f0863a67978e5dc17","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-221","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-219",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdevouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-cover.jpg"]
