He also noticed that Di Qing’s expression remained calm, while Di Fu slightly furrowed his brow, as if struggling greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single droplet of water enveloped Luo Feng, Di Qing, Di Fu, and Di Ming, instantly transporting them away from the Origin Continent, this source world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That droplet was hurtling at superluminal speed through the Infinite Primordial Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng had once observed beyond the source world with his Eye of Birth and Death, yet this droplet flung them clear of the Origin Continent in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My homeland, the Origin Continent.” Luo Feng watched the vast source world shrink rapidly, then vanish from view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he had left his homeland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first arrived at the Origin Continent, he had thought the Primitive Universe was home!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, beyond the source world, the Origin Continent—this complete source world—was truly his home. Without its avatar, he lost the protection of the Supreme Laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So fast.” Luo Feng and the others gazed ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, a massive source world rushed toward them—then, in a flash, the droplet swept past it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flash! Flash! Flash!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten, twenty, fifty…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, massive source worlds resembling the Origin Continent vanished from Luo Feng’s vision within a single second—demonstrating the droplet’s astonishing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that a primordial life born of nature?” Di Fu couldn’t help speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng had seen it too—a vast, coiling black serpent gliding through the Infinite Primordial Space. The serpent moved with serene ease, its body far longer than the entire Origin Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Origin Continent plus the surrounding Cosmic Sea formed a complete source world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this serpent’s body stretched roughly one-third the length of the entire source world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm?” The coiling serpent glanced at the fleeting droplet—too swift to catch, it vanished into the distant horizon in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even in the Infinite Primordial Space, it moves this fast? Is it a source world master skilled in evasion? Or one of those few Primordial Lords’ teleportation methods?” The serpent speculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This vast territory belonged to the cultivator faction’s domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Infinite Primordial Space, only two possibilities explained such speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like my whereabouts have been exposed. I’ll hunt again next time.” The coiling serpent drifted leisurely, then vanished into thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few breaths passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shadowy figure descended upon a stretch of spacetime, coalescing into a black-robed boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed boy stood there, and the boundless spacetime around him bowed in submission—all traces, all past events within it, laid bare under his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A serpent pup, a world-level primordial life.” The black-robed boy’s eyes turned icy, brimming with lethal intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Infinite Serpent Clan is the most troublesome among the primordial life races. They can appear or vanish at will anywhere in the Infinite Primordial Space.” The black-robed boy murmured, “The Infinite Serpent Clan dares the most—they’ve even infiltrated deep into our cultivator faction’s territory. I must find an opportunity to crush a few of these serpent pups!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Judging by its size, that was a world-level primordial life,” Di Qing said as the droplet hurtled through the Infinite Primordial Space. “Thankfully, the teleportation droplet shields us—everything is blocked. Otherwise, directly gazing upon a living world-level primordial life, Di Fu, you’d be dead in an instant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the four present, Di Fu possessed the weakest spiritual will, still at the Supreme Divine King stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng and Di Ming were both curious—they had seen only a blurred, coiling serpent through the droplet, fleeting and harmless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Occasionally, you glimpse primordial lives while teleporting through the Infinite Primordial Space. But one this powerful is rare.” Di Qing, experienced, added, “We’re approaching the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After passing 125 source worlds, the droplet finally reached its destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Nine Rivers Sacred Realm.” Luo Feng, Di Ming, and Di Fu all studied the destination closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a massive elliptical world, slightly smaller than the Origin Continent source world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the Infinite Primordial Space, nine coiling rivers could be seen winding around the world like nine chains, each river faintly swirling with countless secret patterns, forming a vast array that completely sealed the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The droplet, carrying Luo Feng and the other three, flew into the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm stood a majestic sacred mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At its base lay a dark deep pool; the droplet fell into it, and Di Qing, Luo Feng, Di Ming, and Di Fu emerged from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm?” Luo Feng instantly spotted over two hundred figures gathered at the mountain’s base—some clustered in small groups, others alone, all waiting patiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Different cultivation systems,” Luo Feng sensed their vastly differing auras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burly man sat silently, his massive bow slung across his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elderly man in a long robe with spectacles peered curiously over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant forged from rock sat motionless, as if asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A semi-transparent creature hid within crevices of the rocks, cautiously observing Luo Feng and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A female figure of pure flame seemed fused with the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, my body!” Di Fu’s face paled—his skin began peeling in tiny flakes, energy leaking away. Di Qing, Luo Feng, and Di Ming all turned to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My body is collapsing,” Di Fu cried in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t panic,” Di Qing said beside him. “Any complete Dao flows through all source worlds. But the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm isn’t a source world—it’s a special cultivation realm created by Elder Yuan. Your physical form’s core, the Spatial Primordial Dao, clashes slightly with this realm, destabilizing your body. Discard what doesn’t fit, and rebuild your physical structure. Your strength may drop, but at least you won’t collapse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Qing, experienced, gave the warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Fu nodded and began refining his physical form anew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao-seekers were like this—their entire bodies were self-constructed from the most fundamental components, and thus could be modified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo He brother,” Di Qing said, surprised, glancing at Luo Feng. “Di Ming cultivates Primordial Bloodline—his Primordial Bloodline body naturally aligns with the Infinite Primordial Space and many worlds. But you… you don’t cultivate Primordial Bloodline, do you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His various avatars were fully transformed Primordial Bloodline beings, so adapting to the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm came easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t cultivate Primordial Bloodline, but arriving here hasn’t affected my strength,” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Qing was curious but didn’t press further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No error. One word. One line. One content. One look!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A body built purely from Dao subtleties collapses upon entering a new world,” Luo Feng watched Di Fu as Di Qing added, “For Dao-seekers, adapting to different worlds is itself a form of cultivation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng listened, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sacred mountain behind them rumbled: “New cultivators, a flying vessel arrives each eon to transport you to one of the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm’s cities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng and Di Ming turned to face the towering sacred mountain—a path wound up to its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That was the sacred mountain speaking,” Di Qing said. “It safeguards two teleportation channels.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two teleportation channels?” Luo Feng frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The one at the mountain’s base leads back to the Origin Continent,” Di Qing pointed to the path. “Climb the path—you need at least Divine Emperor late-stage Dao-seeker strength to reach the summit. There, another deep pool allows teleportation to the Dark Sacred Realm. Our two ancestral founders reside in the Dark Sacred Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng and Di Ming understood. Di Fu was fully focused on refining his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Qing walked toward the two hundred-plus figures. “You should know the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm’s rules.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Qing’s invisible aura spread, engulfing heaven and earth, enveloping the two hundred-plus cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Qing had reached Divine Emperor early-stage as a Dao-seeker on the Origin Continent! Though his time in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm was brief, his accumulation was substantial. Without world suppression, his aura was far more terrifying than Luo Feng’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two hundred-plus figures paled—they realized even united, they couldn’t match this terrifying being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Qing smiled. “The Nine Rivers Sacred Realm has thirty-five cities. I’m heading to Yulan City. Those willing to join me, step forward now! Each cultivator must pay one hundred Primordial Crystals—or equivalent value. That’s the standard rate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll join.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, figures rose—many were already cultivators who had wandered the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, merely returning home and now coming back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too weak to travel alone, they waited for transport vessels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Divine Emperor elder dares lead us—he must be confident.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Nine Rivers Sacred Realm’s thirty-five cities are no different. New cultivators can easily join Yulan City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who knows how long we’d wait if we stay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other cultivators urged them on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, ninety-six cultivators agreed to follow—most could pay one hundred Primordial Crystals; those who couldn’t offered equivalent valuables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nearly ten thousand Primordial Crystals earned,” Di Qing smiled, collecting the payment, then glanced at Luo Feng, Di Ming, and Di Fu. “In the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, everything requires Primordial Crystals. Without them, you can’t even rent long-term lodging. Perhaps this is Elder Yuan’s way of forcing us to fight for survival.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Qing waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A green metallic flying vessel appeared, its surface scarred but radiating terrifying energy that made every soul present tremble. Luo Feng realized that without the Star Tower or the Eye of Birth and Death, he and Di Qing were still significantly apart in power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go,” Di Qing said. With a thought, he placed the other ninety-six cultivators in the rear cabins, while the four of them stood in the vessel’s front hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green vessel instantly merged into the void, hurtling at superluminal speed toward Yulan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The most dangerous places in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm are the nine rivers,” Di Qing stood in the front hall, gazing outward. “Those nine rivers are like chains, sealing the entire world. They’re also the world’s energy core, drawing immense Primordial power from outside and concentrating it within.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, the rivers contain the densest energy! The low-level primordial lives live within them to absorb sufficient energy and survive long-term,” Di Qing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng gazed far off: “Many low-level primordial lives in the nine rivers?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Many—countless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Qing nodded. “No one knows how many low-level primordial lives Elder Yuan and the others threw into the rivers. They’re our primary hunting targets here. Of course, those low-level primordial lives hunt us too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the vessel flew, Di Qing shared general knowledge with Luo Feng and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1788,"2026-06-20T20:45:00.697Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","321ac258db27ab0ecc29efa9c79ac4f87a1ba30cb6b3ceaf81252c59540a8bca","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-274","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-272",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdevouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-cover.jpg"]
