For example, Elders received fixed income every cycle. The Master of the Ten Thousand Methods and the others could break through realms on their own, traveling to one Source World after another—imagine the treasures and wealth they possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Feng, we’re from the same Source World—if the bids are equal, you should favor us,” said the Thunder Ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Feng, decide for yourself,” said the Flame Wind Ancestor, also looking at Luo Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three aliens and two natives all desperately wanted this innate secret treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You all know this innate secret treasure means more to me than anything,” Luo Feng smiled and shook his head. “I have no intention of selling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a pity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five present felt some disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve also collected two fragments of special life remains. Any intention to sell one?” asked the Old Devil of Space-Time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core of Luo Feng’s cultivation and comprehension was the “Star Tower’s Crimson Scale” and the “Eye of Birth and Death.” The Eye of Birth and Death, after all, was forged from the complete corpse of a World-Level Hunyuan Life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, even a single piece of World-Level Hunyuan Life material as a cultivation core was already quite exceptional for a Divine Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gather a few such fragments, study them, and perhaps you might even break free from the cage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two fragments Luo Feng collected on the Origin Continent were one: a dark golden horn from the Dream Realm, and the other: a segment of black bone. Both were selected by Luo Feng using the Eye of Birth and Death to observe the Dream Realm and the Pillar Heaven Realm—they were of extremely high value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not for sale,” Luo Feng grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the early stages of cultivation, when your strength is weak and resources scarce,” said the Thunder Ancestor beside him, “selling one fragment of special life remains could greatly accelerate your cultivation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng shook his head: “Gentlemen, no need to persuade me further.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five present all felt helpless. Acquiring fragments of special life remains or top-tier innate secret treasures was simply too difficult! At Luo Feng’s level, after witnessing the wider world beyond Rainlan City, he was even less likely to sell them lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the two nations’ Ancestors cultivated Divine Emperors, and the three aliens cultivated other scattered Divine Kings, having their juniors collect these for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No rush,” said the Old Devil of Space-Time with a smile. “When you truly need to trade, just find me anytime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trading outside, you worry about competition. But trading on the Origin Continent… is absolutely safe,” added the Thunder Ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having cultivated for such vast ages, they possessed ample patience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew well that one day, Luo Feng might face hardship and be forced to sell his treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, good. If I ever need to trade, I’ll definitely contact you all,” Luo Feng replied politely, raising his cup at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, after the gathering ended, Luo Feng quietly carried the “Indestructible Heart” and the “Palace of the Palm” to the Cold Ice Valley. Through the lake’s teleportation, he arrived at the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the foot of the Sacred Mountain in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, some cultivators waited for the official airships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, I’ll fly alone to Rainlan City,” said Luo Feng, who did not wait for the official airship that came once per cycle. Instead, he flipped his hand and produced a droplet of blue-green liquid, which transformed into the shape of an airship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he piloted the “Droplet Airship” and departed from the Sacred Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This droplet airship was originally sold to Luo Feng at a loss by the Old Devil of Space-Time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When the Old Devil of Space-Time chose the armor and Abyss Pearl left behind by Emperor Yuan, he probably thought they were worth only 20,000 Hunyuan Crystals. But this droplet airship… it’s still a late-stage Divine Emperor-level airship, worth roughly 100,000 Hunyuan Crystals. He definitely lost a lot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Luo Feng understood that for the Old Devil of Space-Time, the greatest cost was transporting vast treasures across realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A droplet airship might have been just one insignificant item among his haul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t like taking advantage. I’ll find a chance to repay the Old Devil of Space-Time,” Luo Feng thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This droplet airship was a pure life-type flying treasure, excelling at concealing life energy; in terms of speed and stealth, it was vastly inferior to void-type flying treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This airship is too ordinary. Fortunately, with my realm, I can fully unleash its power—and even enhance it further by combining it with the ‘Imitated Eye of Birth and Death,’ guiding the flow of birth and death to hide my aura even more effectively,” Luo Feng thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That he could push this airship beyond its limits only meant the airship itself was too weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time returning to Rainlan City, I need to get a better airship,” Luo Feng decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The airship flew silently, completely concealing its aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng’s “Imitated Eye of Birth and Death” now had a vastly larger observation range. Among Rainlan City’s Elders, few could match his ability to observe and probe. He could detect low-level Hunyuan Lives from extreme distances and avoid them long before approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Low-level Hunyuan Lives are everywhere,” Luo Feng said, having spent twelve full days to reach Rainlan City. “I spotted thirty-nine of them along the way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng never dared to attack. Because he was outside the regulated hunting zones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, most regions are the domain of low-level Hunyuan Lives. Cultivators can only hunt near the thirty-five cities, and if danger arises, they must flee back inside immediately,” Luo Feng knew this well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivators must strictly follow hunting boundaries. This was a lesson learned from countless deaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rainlan City!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng piloted the droplet airship and only relaxed once he passed through the city gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng had long visited every merchant in Rainlan City. He knew exactly which shops sold what, their prices, and their reputations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Feng,” said a red-clad woman, the shop’s manager, who immediately greeted him warmly as he entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Feng, you recently fought the Guifang team—two against five—and not only won, but killed the Elder Ku Mo. The whole city is talking about your fame now,” the red-clad woman said enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t enjoy killing, but they forced their own deaths—I had no choice,” Luo Feng said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impressive,” the red-clad woman smiled. “Come inside, sit down.” For ordinary customers, a mere attendant would suffice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng’s public reputation now ranked him among Rainlan City’s top 2,000. Such a powerful cultivator naturally merited personal attention from the shop owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Guifang team raided him—and he turned around and killed them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This man must be extraordinary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder when I’ll ever become a Divine Emperor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some attendants inside the shop exchanged whispers. They couldn’t afford Divine Emperor intelligence, but they knew Guifang was one of the three major “stealing and looting” factions, and their raiding teams were always formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a refined pavilion, Luo Feng and the red-clad woman sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today, I’m here to buy a formation diagram,” Luo Feng said, pointing to one of the floating weapon-secret treasures outside the pavilion—a diagram whose center depicted a colorful, magnificent world, bearing three special characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng didn’t recognize the characters, but he sensed the will embedded within them and understood they meant “Xuan Qing Tian.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?” The red-clad woman stared at the diagram in surprise. “The Xuan Qing Tian Annihilation Formation Diagram? That costs 8.5 million Hunyuan Crystals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xuan Qing Tian Annihilation Diagram—a semi-Hunyuan level secret treasure formation diagram!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among semi-Hunyuan level items, those containing one Dao versus two Daos naturally differed in value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diagrams containing one Dao were easier to activate, cheaper, and had a broader user base. Those containing two Daos were harder to control, more expensive, and had a smaller user group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Final price: 8 million Hunyuan Crystals. I’m also buying an airship,” Luo Feng knew their discount policy well. “I’ll take the ‘Grand Void Ming Pupil Vessel’ too. Let’s make it 10 million Hunyuan Crystals for both.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-clad woman smiled at Luo Feng. Normally, a 5% discount was the limit. This price was even lower than that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright, let’s round it off,” she smiled. “You’ll have to do more business with us in the future, Luo Feng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good,” Luo Feng nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his last hunt and killing Ku Mo, he had barely over 10 million Hunyuan Crystals left. After this purchase, he was broke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I now need to buy semi-Hunyuan level secret treasures. After this, suitable treasures for me will become rarer,” Luo Feng sighed. There was no choice—he was already among the strongest late-stage Divine Emperor Dao-seekers without any secret treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Indestructible Heart and the Palace of the Palm in hand, only semi-Hunyuan level secret treasures could still enhance his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With the Xuan Qing Tian Annihilation Diagram, I can now array my Infinite Blood Sea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Indestructible Heart’s enhancement of the Indestructible Blood Sea Body was powerful, but it only boosted close-range combat—it couldn’t form a wide-area domain! Relying solely on his own power to manifest a domain was still too weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this diagram, the Blood Sea Domain’s power could increase several-fold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This ‘Grand Void Ming Pupil Vessel’ is a ship imbued with the mysteries of birth and death—it suits my ‘Imitated Eye of Birth and Death’ very well,” Luo Feng said, satisfied, paying ten million Hunyuan Crystals for the two treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Qing, who was in seclusion, received Luo Feng’s message and immediately emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Feng, you’re out of seclusion so soon?” Di Qing exclaimed. “Didn’t you say you’d be in seclusion for a long time? We offended Guifang—we shouldn’t leave until we have real confidence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng smiled slightly: “I have confidence now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Confidence?” Di Qing froze. He knew this seclusion had lasted only 360 cycles. He pressed: “We offended Guifang’s Deputy Director, Elder Tian He. Do you have confidence facing Elder Tian He?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Qing felt his mind thunder—his brain went numb. He realized what Luo Feng’s nod meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve reached the late-stage Divine Emperor Dao-seeker level?” Di Qing stared at Luo Feng, unable to believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single “early-stage Divine Emperor Birth and Death Dao” already rivaled a late-stage Divine Emperor Dao-seeker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention his two other Daos—Life and Destruction—both at mid-stage Divine Emperor level! Not to mention the Indestructible Heart and the Palace of the Palm! Of course Luo Feng had the confidence to face Elder Tian He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This seclusion brought me some breakthrough,” Luo Feng smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I I I… you you…” Di Qing was speechless, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had watched Luo Feng’s growth with his own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he, a Divine Emperor who had been stuck at mid-stage Dao-seeker for eons and barely broke through, possibly bear it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard that among countless worlds, the absolute top few possess terrifying talent,” Di Qing looked at Luo Feng. “Now I’ve seen it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly didn’t find it hard. In the Original Universe, even before reaching Immortal stage, he had built every step solidly, reaching unimaginable limits at each level—even surpassing them. That’s how he forged the Perfect Divine Body and achieved such an elevated mental will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Origin Continent, his foundation at every level was equally profound to the extreme. Such an immense foundation allowed him to obtain treasures like the Star Tower and the Eye of Birth and Death, which in turn made his cultivation even smoother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Reaching semi-Hunyuan level isn’t difficult,” Luo Feng had discussed with Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Elder Yuan and others, reaching the semi-Hunyuan level through trial and error was relatively easy—the Dark Realm was teeming with such experts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking free from the cage—that was the true challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regardless, it is my honor to form a team with Brother Luo Feng for the hunt,\" Di Qing remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going out to hunt. Are you coming?\" Luo Feng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, of course!\" Di Qing replied immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you to the two Alliance Masters, Le Lian Shi and Hong Meng Da Bai, for their donations!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2114,"2026-06-20T20:45:00.697Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","51d48c1870e3a4b74d2f89cd4a513b58fb934a2fae8d15cf85c7c97c0df88370","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-294","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-292",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdevouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-cover.jpg"]
