Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 90: The Battle Begins

Ten days after the fierce battle between Divine Lord Luo He and the Heart Shadow Sect…

In the wilderness outside Huyang City, two figures appeared out of thin air.

“We’ve arrived.” After briefly confirming their location, they took just a few steps, traversed the void, and found the small military city of the Jiugang Marquis. Outside the city, Commander Jiang Yuyou had been waiting.

“Two Divine Lords, you’ve finally arrived. The Marquis has been waiting for you.” Jiang Yuyou stepped forward to greet them, while also observing the two.

One of them was General Yong Hu, who had recently visited. The other was a thin man in loose robes, whose reputation in Yuguo far exceeded that of General Yong Hu.

Jiang Yuyou looked at the thin man with respect.

“Commander Jiang, please lead the way.” The thin man smiled.

“To lead General Yue and General Yong is my honor.” Jiang Yuyou said, leading the two to meet the Marquis.

Inside the main building of Jiugang Marquis’s residence within the military city…

“Marquis, General Yue and General Yong have arrived,” Jiang Yuyou respectfully announced.

As the two entered and saw Jiugang Marquis, they respectfully greeted, “Greetings, Marquis.”

They had long followed the Divine Kings and clearly understood that the Divine Kings and the Chaos Overlords were the true high-level beings in this world. Even the Divine Kings had to show these Chaos Overlords a certain degree of respect.

Since it was a cooperative relationship, Jiugang Marquis and others who wanted to obtain opportunities from the Divine Kings also had to contribute something in return.

If a Chaos Overlord willingly served a Divine King, dedicating themselves to following them, only then would the Divine King fully support them.

“No matter what, a Chaos Overlord’s status is far higher than ours as Eternal True Gods,” General Yong had always longed to reach the Chaos Realm, though he still had a long way to go.

“Please, have a seat,” Jiugang Marquis smiled at the two of them. “With you two assisting in this battle against Marquis Liu Yin’s forces, it will be much easier.”

“We mainly rely on Junior Brother Yue; I’m just here to help,” General Yong said.

General Yong was very willing to participate in various Chaos State conflicts, as it was an excellent way to accumulate resources. His junior brother, General Yue, was different; he was difficult to invite because he was not short on resources, with the Lord of Yuguo personally bestowing resources upon him.

“I still need Senior Brother to support me,” the thin man smiled. “By the way, Marquis, you mentioned there would be another strong reinforcement, someone named Luo He?”

“I’ve already sent Yuyou to invite him; he’ll be here soon,” Jiugang Marquis replied.

Jiugang Marquis was very courteous.

Among Luo He and his servant, General Yong, and General Yue, Jiugang Marquis valued Luo He and General Yue the most.

“This Yue Wu, like Luo He, has a good chance of reaching the Chaos Realm,” Jiugang Marquis knew very well that these two might be stuck at a bottleneck for a long time, but they should eventually exist at the same level as him.

…

“General Yue Wu and General Yong Hu?” Luo Feng attended the banquet with Morosa.

“General Yue Wu is the strongest Eternal True God in Yuguo on the surface,” Jiang Yuyou explained. “What’s remarkable is that General Yue Wu’s divine body is quite ordinary. He cultivates the path of laws! With just an ordinary divine body, combined with an unimaginable accumulation in his realm, he can even overpower the likes of General Yong Hu.”

Jiang Yuyou continued, “General Yue Wu is very skilled in formations. Once his formation is set, any Eternal True God who enters is unlikely to escape.”

“In Yuguo, under the Chaos Realm, the number one formation master is General Yue Wu,” Jiang Yuyou exclaimed with admiration. “The Marquis has mentioned that with General Yue Wu’s accumulation, it’s almost certain he’ll reach the Chaos Realm.”

Luo Feng was full of admiration.

The Origin Continent was vast, filled with many extraordinary figures. This General Yue Wu and Xue Yun both had ordinary divine bodies, but General Yue Wu was even stronger, highly regarded by the Divine Kings.

“To become the strongest Eternal True God in Yuguo without an Infinite Divine Body is truly impressive,” Morosa also praised.

Jiang Yuyou glanced at Luo Feng and smiled, “That may be the case in Yuguo, but in the two ancient kingdoms… the most dazzling Eternal True God would definitely be one with an Infinite Divine Body.”

Throughout the entire Origin Continent, the most dazzling Eternal True Gods had no weaknesses in any aspect.

Luo Feng had even surpassed historical limits. His divine body and will were both extraordinary. In fact, when the *Lieu Yuan Technique* was spread across various major forces on the Origin Continent, Luo Feng was the only one who successfully mastered it, which was telling.

With his divine body and will both surpassing historical limits, even Master Zuo Shan Ke believed that revenge was now possible.

“Marquis.” Luo Feng and his servant entered the building.

“Sit,” Jiugang Marquis introduced with a smile. “Luo He and his servant have fought the Heart Shadow Sect head-on in Huyang City, yet even with their full effort, the Heart Shadow Sect could do nothing against them.”

“The information about Divine Lord Luo He in Huyang City has already spread throughout Yuguo,” the thin General Yue Wu praised. “To possess the will of the Peak of Chaos as an Eternal True God is extraordinary. With such a will, Divine Lord Luo He must have gone through an extraordinary journey.”

Luo Feng smiled.

Beings from the Primal Universe had to climb from the very bottom, where even becoming immortal was difficult. In an entire cycle of the Primal Universe, only a few could become True Gods.

Therefore, each True God that emerged from the Primal Universe had far stronger willpower than those from the Origin Continent.

And Luo Feng…

Was the most dazzling existence across numerous cycles in his home Primal Universe.

“General Yue Wu’s formations are unbeatable below the Chaos Realm. I greatly admire that,” Luo Feng said.

“Divine Lord, we meet again,” General Yong Hu greeted warmly.

“General Yong,” Luo Feng nodded with a smile.

Jiugang Marquis, seated at the head, spoke, “With General Yue Wu and General Yong Hu here, we only need to practice the formation once more. Once everything is prepared, we can take action.”

“We’ll follow your commands, Marquis,” General Yue Wu, General Yong Hu, and Luo Feng all replied.

…

A vast formation shrouded in mist spread over a large area.

Yue Wu presided over the formation from the center, surrounded by six puppet creatures under his control.

At the forefront of the formation stood Luo Feng and Morosa, feeling the terrifying power of the surrounding water currents.

“Divine Lord Luo He, your strength as master and servant is the greatest. When we encounter strong enemies, we will need you two to handle them,” Yue Wu’s gentle voice reached Luo Feng and Morosa’s ears.

“Don’t worry,” Luo Feng nodded.

After accepting a billion Cosmos Sand, he naturally had to perform his duties.

“Senior Brother Yong, if we encounter troublesome opponents, I’ll need you to keep them occupied,” Yue Wu transmitted.

“Alright.” General Yong Hu nodded. He had an Infinite Divine Body and a Divine King-level inheritance! Although he couldn’t deal with Xue Yun, his explosive power and divine body resilience surpassed Xue Yun’s. In terms of realm, he had comprehended several moves of the Chaos Realm, though they were cruder than Xue Yun’s.

With his Infinite Divine Body, General Yong Hu could withstand many dangers, which made him willing to accept various commissions!

After all, the resources bestowed upon him by the Divine Kings were limited, so he needed to work hard on his own.

“Generals, Commanders, when the time comes, just follow my instructions. Let’s first practice six coordination methods.” Yue Wu transmitted to the more than three thousand Eternal True Gods within the formation.

This time, Jiugang Marquis had mobilized over ninety-five percent of the Eternal True Gods from the Jiugang Chaos State!

This battle had to be won!

Not only had he dispatched his divine power incarnations on the surface, but his true self had also arrived. Even if they lost, he had to ensure the safety of these Eternal True Gods under his command.

“Yes.” The more than three thousand Eternal True Gods, leading their respective armies, formed one super-large mechanical secret treasure after another.

Initially, they were scattered, but within General Yue Wu’s formation, they naturally coordinated their powers.

The terrifying power of these numerous mechanical secret treasures greatly boosted the confidence of the Eternal True Gods.

“Incredible.”

Luo Feng witnessed the prowess of a formation master.

“Hiring this formation master was worth it.”

From within the military city, Jiugang Marquis watched the scene from afar and nodded slightly. “A formation master can make the entire legion’s coordination far more effective, multiplying their strength.”

This formation master had cost six hundred million Cosmos Sand.

General Yong Hu cost two hundred million Cosmos Sand.

Divine Lord Luo He was the most expensive.

“Divine Lord Luo He can intimidate countless Eternal True Gods on the opposing side.” Jiugang Marquis was well aware of how invaluable an invincible vanguard was on the battlefield.

“This battle, I will win.” Jiugang Marquis was confident, but then frowned in concern. “But this time, I spent a total of 1.8 billion Cosmos Sand, while Marquis Liu Yin contributed nothing, probably just making empty promises.”

Marquis Liu Yin had made promises to the Heart

Shadow Sect, but even if they lost, Marquis Liu Yin wouldn’t have to pay anything.

An empty promise had driven the Heart Shadow Sect to fight desperately.

“If I withstand this time, what about the next time?” Jiugang Marquis also pondered the future.

With two adjacent fiefdoms, Marquis Liu Yin wouldn’t give up easily.

…

With a formation master present, the training went smoothly. After three days of practice, Jiugang Marquis felt fully prepared.

“Everyone, once we break through the Heart Shadow Sect and reclaim Huyang City, I’ll host a victory celebration for all of you,” Jiugang Marquis addressed the more than three thousand Eternal True Gods before him, with General Yue Wu, General Yong Hu, and Luo Feng’s servant standing at the forefront. “Now, let’s move out!”

All the Eternal True Gods boarded a large flying boat.

“Boom!”

The large flying boat traversed the void.

After just a few traversals, the flying boat arrived above Huyang City, precisely over the City Lord’s Mansion, but an ominous formation isolated it.

The sudden appearance of the large flying boat immediately caused unrest among the Heart Shadow Sect disciples in the city.

“This isn’t good.”

“Jiugang Marquis’s army.”

“They’ve arrived.”

Some disciples scattered throughout the city panicked.

High above, Luo Feng and more than three thousand Eternal True Gods aboard the large flying boat observed the situation in Huyang City, noticing some scattered Heart Shadow Sect disciples.

A detailed plan had been made before the battle, so they weren’t concerned about the scattered Heart Shadow Sect disciples.

“The disciples dispersed outside are ordinary members of the Heart Shadow Sect. They are responsible for controlling the city! They are also bait, luring Jiugang Marquis’s army to attack,” Luo Feng noted.

“Attack.”

At Yue Wu’s command, rolling water mist instantly enveloped the sky, and the large flying boat vanished, with Luo Feng and the others naturally inside the formation.

Rumble~~~

The massive water mist formation suddenly ignited into flames, resembling an enormous fireball, fiercely crashing into the ominous formation! The dark formation that covered Huyang City was instantly torn apart. The giant fireball, spanning over a hundred billion kilometers, headed straight for the City Lord’s Mansion.

“They’re here.”

In Chaos Armor District, the Sect Master of the Heart Shadow Sect and the divine power incarnations of the Eighteen Elders gathered, looking up at the scene with cold eyes.

For the sake of their sect’s foundation, they had to win this battle!
