The two ancient nations possessed countless methods of investigation—through time-space and through cause-and-effect—that could uncover many signs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once Mo Luo Sa masters a complete Dao, he will be free of cause-and-effect, his Dao perfected, leaving no trace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng knew this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A complete Dao possessed many powerful qualities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a Dao is perfected, its operation can weaken all attacks—even Luo Feng’s mental will attacks would be diminished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one’s realm rises, the seemingly mysterious “mental will attack” loses its mystery. Mastering a complete Dao allows one to resist and weaken it to some degree; if one surpasses the Divine King level, the resistance becomes even stronger. Even the “beyond-Deity-King weapons” they forge possess the ability to weaken will-based attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, will-based attacks are merely one branch of the Soul Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Complete soul techniques, which penetrate and attack from multiple angles, are far more terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pure will-based attacks held great advantage on the Origin Continent—after all, those who mastered a complete Dao were few and far between.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the future, if he left the Origin Continent and faced opponents like the Three Alien Races or the Ancestors of the Two Nations, his mental will advantage would weaken—even Luo Feng’s mental will might not surpass theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve cultivated for too short a time—I’m still only at the Divine King Second Layer. Slow and steady, no rush,” Luo Feng had a clear plan for his cultivation path; in this stage on the Origin Continent, his goals were simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, reach the Ultimate Realm. Second, cultivate patience—use his low realm to contemplate higher-level secret arts, willing to progress slowly to hone his insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure walked through the snowstorm, arriving beneath the pavilion and bowing respectfully—it was Luo Feng’s second disciple, Xin Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come up,” Luo Feng set down his cup and smiled at his disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the disciples of Dao River Sect, Xin Yu possessed the highest talent, advancing rapidly—he was now at the peak of the Chaos Realm. He had no interest in managing sect affairs, devoting himself entirely to cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xin Yu, clad in green robes, bowed respectfully: “Master, I’ve reached the bottleneck in both the Sky-Splitting and Chaos-Splitting branches, yet I cannot take the final step to truly master either Dao branch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xin Yu, you’ve only been in the Chaos Realm for two hundred centuries. Reaching its peak is already impressive,” Luo Feng looked at his disciple. “But you know that among the first-rank Marquises of the two ancient imperial clans, with sufficient resources, they can reach Chaos Realm peak within a single century.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know my talent is nothing special on the Origin Continent,” Xin Yu gazed at Luo Feng, eyes burning. “Master, you reached Chaos Realm transcendence in merely a few centuries.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah…” Luo Feng laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, he had achieved Chaos Realm transcendence in just a few centuries, thanks to his perfect divine body and the Formless Transformation Art—many outside had suspected he was a reincarnated Divine King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m telling you this because even if the imperial clans reach Chaos Realm peak early, many remain trapped at the bottleneck their entire lives, unable to become Divine Kings,” Luo Feng said to his disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trapped for a lifetime?” Xin Yu’s heart tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cultivation in the Chaos Realm is merely the gradual accumulation of understanding Dao branches,” Luo Feng said. “But to awaken a Dao branch requires sudden enlightenment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sudden enlightenment?” Xin Yu frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sudden enlightenment cannot be forced,” Luo Feng said. “The key is ‘accumulating deeply, releasing lightly.’ What you should do now is not seek to awaken a Dao branch, but study Divine King-level secret arts. Master one secret art, and you are Chaos Realm transcendent. Master two, three… the more secret arts you master, the closer you draw to the Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One day, you will naturally awaken a Dao branch,” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mastering more Divine King-level secret arts brings me closer to the Dao?” Xin Yu asked. “Master, how many Divine King secret arts must one master to become a Divine King?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wrong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng shook his head. “The more you crave to understand the Dao, the farther you drift from it! Do not pursue Dao branches—focus entirely on mastering secret arts, accumulate slowly, and breakthrough will come naturally.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only when your foundation in each realm is solid can you walk farther on the path to Divine Kinghood,” Luo Feng said, gazing at his disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Focus solely on mastering secret arts, without seeking Dao branches? I understand,” Xin Yu bowed respectfully. “I take my leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng knew well: this method—focusing entirely on Divine King-level secret arts without seeking Dao branches—had an extremely high threshold. Those with average insight might master only one such art in a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re my disciple, your goals must be grander. Otherwise, what’s the point of spending a lifetime as an ordinary Divine King?” Luo Feng naturally held high expectations for his second disciple, Xin Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Origin Continent, within a hidden world called Mother River World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the core of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation’s resistance forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That black-robed, golden-masked warrior is immensely powerful! His physical body rivals that of an Ultimate Realm lifeform, and his mental will surpasses even the Divine King level,” Zong Fu, the Divine King, shook his head gently. “His dual strength in body and soul defeated even that purple-robed woman… yet such terrifying power remains utterly detached from worldly affairs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, the towering Yu Fu, the Divine King, said: “The peak beings of the Origin Continent—including the Tianmu Nation’s World Beast and the Lord of Myriad Worlds—are all secretly vying for resources! Why doesn’t this black-robed one care?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The only two peak beings on the Origin Continent who are detached from worldly strife are the Wind Capital Empress and the Fire Ancestor,” Zong Fu said. “The Wind Capital Empress has the Eastern Pole Domain Ancestor behind her—she has no need to compete. As for the Fire Ancestor… rumors say he met Yuan, received Yuan’s guidance, and thus no longer needs to compete—he devotes himself solely to cultivation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What gives this black-robed one the right to avoid competition?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zong Fu was puzzled. “He only acted once in the Dream Realm. He’s never been seen at any other treasure site. So many resources—he just lets them slip away? His strength could easily seize many!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After being suppressed by the two ancient nations for countless eons, once one reaches Emperor or Lord-level power, most cannot resist the urge to compete,” Yu Fu sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Origin Continent, this primordial world, is gradually entering its end phase. Anyone with ambition will compete. I thought he might become another ally—we could join forces and seize more from the two ancient nations,” Zong Fu shook his head. “But after our parting in the Dream Realm, I’ve never seen him again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zong Fu, leading the entire Mother River force, had participated in numerous treasure site conflicts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He longed to gather more precious resources—to assemble a complete Primordial Bloodline!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed warrior… appeared to be a lone cultivator. Zong Fu welcomed such an ally!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the black-robed warrior seemed too reclusive, showing little interest in the resources of any treasure site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zong Fu and Yu Fu had no idea that Luo Feng had only become a Divine King three hundred centuries ago; the so-called end phase of the Origin Continent spanned billions of centuries—Luo Feng felt no urgency whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the quiet chamber of the Marquis’s mansion, within the Star Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng had been studying the newly acquired corpse materials of an Ultimate Realm Primordial Bloodline lifeform—these materials revealed fifteen forms of Ultimate Realm life, one of which was the “Twenty-Four Phases.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three Ultimate Realm Primordial Bloodline lifeforms shared a fundamental structure that combined multiple phases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combining six phases meant six life forms fused into one—remarkable indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The genetic material of their bloodlines was equally astonishing, but Luo Feng had little accumulation in the “Material Origin Dao,” so he did not understand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Observing these materials directly has greatly improved my understanding of life forms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng also sent his mental awareness into the Star Tower, observing the boundless, intricate runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The runes of the Star Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They contained many categories, but life-related runes were the most numerous, accounting for roughly one-third—and they were the absolute core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These life runes can merge multiple forms into one,” Luo Feng noticed that some of the shallow-layer life runes resembled the fifteen life forms, allowing him to quickly categorize them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Luo Feng’s research deepened, the origin of countless runes—the “twelve-colored crimson scale”—grew increasingly terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?” Luo Feng felt a moment of daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crimson scale emitted terrifying crimson light—far more sinister and malevolent, as if an endless sea of crimson was surging to drown his mind. Even Luo Feng’s mental will trembled involuntarily—he immediately ceased observation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?” Luo Feng sat cross-legged within the Star Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The deeper I study, the more terrifying this crimson scale becomes?” Luo Feng calmed his mind, then smiled with excitement. “Then I’ll face it directly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Face it. Study it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Incorporate every element that causes terror into the creation of secret arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the same approach Luo Feng had used when he first encountered the giant eye in the dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng plunged back into cultivation, repeatedly attempting to generate and extinguish the Nine Branches to interpret the “crimson scale.” This time, he felt his understanding of the scale had deepened—perhaps his secret art creation would yield results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the Origin Continent, all factions had been closely watching the black-robed, golden-masked warrior since his single appearance in the Dream Realm…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Feng devoted himself entirely to cultivation, while waiting for Mo Luo Sa’s transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unconsciously, another half-century passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still not enough,” Luo Feng shook his head gently within the Star Tower. “My understanding of the Star Tower is still insufficient—I cannot yet create a fusion technique combining the Nine Branches.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve only barely grasped the ‘Eight Branch Fusion Technique.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1925,"2026-06-20T20:45:00.697Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","01604446bc5cccb663953628b056645a195c8dd4e05664f5daed2de7d2521ee3","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-239","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-237",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdevouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-cover.jpg"]
