Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 96: Morosa’s Body Refinement Technique

After reaching the Chaos Realm, Luo Feng left only a divine power avatar outside, while his true body remained in the Star Tower for dedicated cultivation.

“Now that I’ve reached this level, I’m beginning to see the flaws in the two legacies I’ve inherited,” Luo Feng sighed softly.

His master, Sitting Mountain Guest, had not passed on a God King-level legacy to him. Clearly, his master believed that Luo Feng was not suited to the path of refining artifacts.

As for the Duandong River lineage, the third-generation ancestor had left behind three God King-level legacies: *Destruction*, *Donghua*, and *Undying River*. However, these were all paths that the third-generation ancestor had walked himself.

What Luo Feng needed was a God King-level legacy related to the paths of life and destruction.

“For an Eternal True God, the goal is to master the Law of Chaos,” Luo Feng mused. “So, choosing any legacy that suits them is quite easy. But for those at the Chaos Realm, who have already mastered the Law of Chaos, the next step is to comprehend the Origin Dao.”

Luo Feng attuned himself to the world around him.

He could glimpse the many Origin Daos hidden behind the chaos. These Origin Daos, when combined, formed the supreme rules that dictated the operation of the entire universe.

“I don’t have a single God King-level legacy that suits me,” Luo Feng admitted to himself.

For most top-tier Eternal True Gods, the prospect of being recruited by the Lord of the Yu Kingdom would have already enticed them to become his disciple. The Lord of the Yu Kingdom, given his status, could bestow upon his disciples a suitable God King-level legacy.

“My God King-level legacy will have to come from the Imperial Lineage of the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom for now,” Luo Feng thought. “I’ve reached the Chaos Realm; I wonder if Di Chu Yu has broken through yet. Only after his breakthrough will he seek to recruit me as a guest official.”

Luo Feng cleared his mind of further thoughts.

Lacking a suitable God King-level legacy, he could only rely on cultivating Chaos Realm-level legacies for the time being.

“The *Chaos Power Diagram* becomes increasingly demanding in artifact refining skills as one progresses. The resources required for the fourth body refinement of my perfect divine body are immense. I’m too poor to afford it!” Luo Feng had almost given up on this method.

On the one hand, this legacy had limited potential. After all, it was only a Chaos Realm-level technique.

On the other hand, the requirements for artifact refining skills were too high. At the Eternal True God stage, with his talent and guidance from Entropy Sky Flame, Luo Feng had managed to complete three body refinements. But at the Chaos Realm stage, where artifact refining skills undergo a qualitative change, Luo Feng wasn’t planning to spend too much energy on it.

Another crucial factor was the sheer amount of resources required.

The resources he worked so hard to obtain would be better spent on the Imperial Lineage legacy of the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom—better to use good steel where it counts.

“*Nine Blades of Breaking the World* is worth spending more time on. This blade technique also aligns with the path of destruction. Unfortunately, it’s still just a Chaos Realm-level blade technique,” Luo Feng thought as he delved into the technique.

*The Nine Blades of Breaking the World* at the Chaos Realm consisted of three blades.

They were the *Chaos Blade*, *Heaven and Earth Blade*, and *World Breaking Blade*.

The final move, *World Breaking Blade*, aimed to cleave through all layers of space, to completely break through the entire world and carve a fissure in the cage. Unfortunately, the *World Breaking Blade* could only cut through most of the space layers, but not the cage.

The entire blade technique was called *The Nine Blades of Breaking the World*, perhaps representing the creator’s pursuit.

“Even for a God King, breaking through the cage is no easy task,” Luo Feng carefully studied the technique.

Now that he had reached the Chaos Realm, even the inheritance space of the Duandong River lineage was of little help.

The inheritance space was mainly designed to cultivate disciples into Eternal True Gods. Producing a Chaos Realm being was already a miracle. As for going beyond that? The inheritance space only provided some informational guidance.

…

Within the City Lord’s Mansion, in Luo Feng’s secluded courtyard.

Morosa was eating grilled meat while looking at Mo Yu Qingyan in the distance, unable to resist cursing, “Why are you so dumb? You still haven’t comprehended even the basic laws? Compared to your master, your talent is a million times worse.”

“I wouldn’t dare compare myself to Master,” Mo Yu Qingyan replied. “Actually, I’m only one step away from fully comprehending the Law of Time. After more than thirty epochs, I think I’ve done pretty well.”

“Shut up.”

Morosa scolded, “Do you have any idea how much effort I’ve put into you? Just for the Law of Time, how many times have I explained it to you? Over ten thousand times, you idiot.”

Mo Yu Qingyan listened obediently.

In his heart, he was very grateful to Lord Morosa. After all, over the past thirty-odd epochs, his master hadn’t guided him at all. But Lord Morosa had repeatedly taught him. It wasn’t until recently that he discovered… that Lord Morosa was actually an incredibly powerful Eternal True God, stronger than Commanders Moli Xiao and Xue Yun, and was his master’s protector.

Having such a powerful being guiding him patiently, Mo Yu Qingyan was deeply moved.

Most teachers wouldn’t be so diligent.

In his heart, Mo Yu Qingyan had already come to regard Morosa as his master.

“Crunch, crunch.” An exasperated Morosa quickly devoured the grilled meat.

“Morosa, come here.”

Luo Feng sent a telepathic message, then teleported Morosa into the Star Tower. Naturally, Morosa didn’t resist.

Inside the Star Tower.

“Master, you called for me?” Morosa grinned. He could act as he pleased with Mo Yu Qingyan, but in front of his master, he had to be cautious and humble.

“I want to see the difference between a newly ascended Chaos Realm being like me and a seasoned Chaos Realm being like you,” Luo Feng said.

“A match against me?” Morosa couldn’t help but say, “Master, you’ve just broken through not long ago, and your divine body is still far from reaching its limit.”

With such a vast difference, how could they compare?

“I know I won’t win; I just want to feel the gap,” Luo Feng explained.

“Alright.”

Morosa thought for a moment, “I won’t burn divine power or use any Chaos Realm techniques. I’ll just rely on my body and compare it with yours. That should allow me to use about ten percent of my strength.”

If he burned divine power, his strength would increase several times. And if he used secret techniques, it would increase even more.

“Alright.” Luo Feng didn’t hold back, extending his hand, and the Blood Shadow Blade appeared in his grip.

Boom!

Luo Feng used *Destruction* to its limit, burning his divine power to the extreme. While *Destruction* involved techniques for utilizing the Law of Chaos, Luo Feng was still able to grasp those. However, as he progressed further, it became increasingly difficult to learn.

“Come on, let’s see what you’ve got,” Morosa said confidently.

Luo Feng instantly unleashed a chaotic blade light. The blade light even cut through the operation of the Law of Chaos—at least within the range covered by the blade technique, the Law of Chaos was split apart, carving a deep black gorge that cut through several layers of space.

This strike was also the first of the three Chaos Realm blades in *The Nine Blades of Breaking the World*—the *Chaos Blade*.

This blade was based on the Law of Chaos and contained some rudimentary mysteries of the Origin of Destruction, but it was still relatively shallow. With Luo Feng’s accumulation in the Origin of Destruction, he had mastered it with only a little effort.

However, the subsequent second and third blades involved an accumulation in the Origin of Destruction far beyond Luo Feng’s current level, making them much more difficult to cultivate.

“Whoosh!”

Morosa extended his plump hand, directly blocking Luo Feng’s strike.

The skin on his palm slightly dented but naturally dissipated the force of the strike.

“Master, that was quite powerful! If it were twice as strong, it might have hurt me,” Morosa called out.

“That shouldn’t be possible,” Luo Feng said in confusion as he withdrew his blade.

“Why did you stop, Master?” Morosa asked, puzzled.

Luo Feng shook his head. “I haven’t been in this realm for long, and that strike was already my strongest.”

Morosa blinked.

He had said there was no need to spar, but his master insisted on it! Now that his master seemed a bit embarrassed, would he take it out on him?

“That doesn’t make sense,” Luo Feng murmured. “Although my divine body hasn’t reached its limit, my divine power is very pure—beyond that of ordinary Chaos Realm beings. A strike burning my divine power to the extreme… how could it not even break your skin?”

If Morosa had used a protective secret technique or burned his divine power, Luo Feng would have understood if he couldn’t break the skin.

But with just ten percent of his strength, Luo Feng couldn’t even break through? Even if he reached his limit, he would only barely be able to wound Morosa?

“Well, um…” Morosa began to explain, “I’m not a normal cultivator; I’m a World Beast. My body naturally trains itself to be incredibly resilient, far stronger than those body refinement techniques

of yours. That’s why you couldn’t break my skin.”

Morosa had never thought highly of his master’s body refinement techniques.

“Far stronger than my body refinement techniques?” Luo Feng could understand. After all, Morosa was a being born with the complete Origin of Destruction, so it made sense that his body refinement method would surpass the *Chaos Power Diagram*.

“But you don’t use any precious materials—how do you refine your body?” Luo Feng asked.

“Master, what is body refinement?” Morosa looked at Luo Feng. “For example, for you cultivators, the most basic unit of your body is divine power. For World Beasts, the most basic unit is World Beast power. How do you make ‘divine power’ combine more effectively? To greatly enhance defense, power, speed… that’s what body refinement is.”

“As for the method to make divine power combine more effectively, there’s more than one. Treating the divine body like a weapon or treasure to be refined is just one way.” Morosa looked at Luo Feng. “But I don’t need any resources. I just need to combine my insights into the Origin of Destruction and change the structure of my World Beast power. This naturally makes my entire body stronger.”

“But my method isn’t suitable for you, Master. I’m a World Beast, and I have a world within me. This is a body refinement method for nurturing a world,” Morosa explained.

Luo Feng understood.

Indeed.

The essence of body refinement is to make divine power combine more effectively. Treating it as a weapon or treasure to be refined is just one of many methods.

“Let me see your method,” Luo Feng said.

“Alright.” Morosa extended his hand, and strands of World Beast power flew out, beginning to combine. “But even if you see it, Master, you won’t be able to practice it. This body refinement method requires a world at its core.”

The seemingly ordinary World Beast power combined in an incredibly intricate manner, and the structure was so beautiful that Luo Feng was in awe.

It was like countless grains of sand combining to form weapons capable of tearing through the stars.

By altering the basic structure, the entire body was strengthened. This process didn’t require consuming vast resources—just a different combination of World Beast power.

This was far more advanced than treating the body as a treasure for refining.

“Marvelous,” Luo Feng marveled. “I’ve heard that some ancient God Kings have incredibly intricate divine bodies; it must be something like this.”

Such a refined body cultivation method had been something Luo Feng had only heard of before! Even his master, Sitting Mountain Guest, and the Duandong River lineage only had some recorded information on it. Such a legacy was incredibly rare, even among God King-level legacies.

“This is a path I can try,” Luo Feng instinctively felt that he could mimic about seventy to eighty percent of Morosa’s World Beast power structure.

The main issues were that he lacked a “world” and that his level in destruction wasn’t as high as Morosa’s.

But as a perfect life form with shapeshifting abilities, Luo Feng could change into many forms, even transforming his divine power into World Beast power. He could definitely mimic and learn from this, gaining valuable experience.
