Swallowing the Stars, I am the Lord of the Galaxy

Page 363

Xingchen stood still for a moment, the starry sky in his eyes shifting as he considered various possibilities. Destroying the Food Kingdom might require some effort from him, but it wouldn't be difficult.

However, after a moment, the analytical look in his eyes faded, and he slowly shook his head.

"Never mind. That's not necessary."

He made a decision.

"The best way to temper him is to let him carry out the revenge himself."

The stars murmured to themselves.

"Those three God-Kings from the Food Kingdom are quite powerful, and they are even more troublesome when they join forces. They are the perfect whetstone for Luo Feng's path to becoming a God-King."

Clearing all obstacles for him too early may seem like an easier task, but it could actually stifle his chance to truly grow into a top-tier expert. Some paths must be walked alone; some enemies must be defeated personally. This is true growth.

Moreover, he believed that Luo Feng was capable of doing so. In terms of talent, temperament, and circumstances, Luo Feng was second to none.

"The Kingdom of Food... I'll leave it to you, Luo Feng."

Xingchen's gaze once again turned towards the direction of the Yu Kingdom.

"I hope you can bring your teacher a pleasant surprise then."

His tone was full of anticipation.

After suppressing the thought of destroying the Food Kingdom, Xingchen no longer paid much attention to the matter.

He listed intelligence about the Yu Kingdom and the Shi Kingdom as a key concern, instructing his intelligence organization to keep a close watch, especially on any news about Luo Feng's possible appearance in the Yu Kingdom, after which he temporarily put it aside.

His focus returned to cultivating and developing the Star Kingdom.

Chapter 363 Chaos Overlord Luo Feng

Setting aside the external disturbances and his concern for his disciples, Xingchen's mind became completely calm.

The summit of the divine palace returned to its former tranquility, with only the celestial stars slowly moving along their mysterious trajectories, showering down endless starlight.

For beings who have already ascended to the realm of God-King, the passage of time is often measured in "epochs".

In the long years that followed, Xingchen almost never left the summit of the Divine Palace, immersing most of his mind in exploring and deepening his understanding of the Great Dao.

His aura became increasingly restrained, and the sharp edge that he initially exuded naturally due to the series of battles and the establishment of the divine kingdom was gradually replaced by an unfathomable vastness.

The galaxy flowing before one's eyes is no longer merely a manifestation of power, but seems to contain the supreme truth of the birth and death of the universe and the rotation of time and space.

His accumulated knowledge and experience are truly immense.

Rising from humble beginnings, he endured countless life-and-death battles and reincarnations, until he ruthlessly slew six God-Kings in the Origin Continent, a world teeming with powerful beings, and established his own vast divine kingdom.

All these experiences formed the foundation of his power and the source of his understanding of the laws.

Now that the dust has settled and we are free from distractions, it is the perfect time to thoroughly digest all that has accumulated and transform it into our own state of being.

For him, breaking through to the second realm of God King was not a hurdle that required forced breakthrough; rather, it was a natural and inevitable process.

All he needs is enough time to allow his vast accumulation and insights to completely settle, integrate, and sublimate.

Xingchen sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his acupoints seemingly transforming into miniature cosmic vortexes, silently absorbing the pure energy and rhythmic laws gathering from all parts of the kingdom.

His miniature universe projection appeared faintly behind him, and the birth and death of stars and the operation of laws within it seemed to become more perfect and profound as his true self cultivated.

At the same time, Mu Qing, who had shrunk in size and was lying prone to the side, also fell into a deep state of cultivation.

It has just broken through to the second realm of God King, and its realm still needs to be stabilized. It also needs a massive amount of energy to fill the increasingly enormous life source.

The path to becoming a world beast king involves devouring all things to become one's own; its cultivation method is even more domineering and direct.

Within the territory of the Star Kingdom, those secret realms and special energy nodes that originally belonged to the Abyss Kingdom and contained a strong aura of destruction became its best "food".

The destructive Dao patterns surrounding it became increasingly clear, and its aura steadily increased.

However, both Xingchen and Muqing knew that the gap between the second realm of God King and the legendary "ultimate realm" was an enormous chasm.

Although Mu Qing is exceptionally talented and possesses boundless potential as a Beast King, the energy required to cross this insurmountable barrier is an unimaginable astronomical figure, far beyond what can be achieved in a short time. It still has a very, very long way to go.

On the contrary, Xingchen's foundation is terrifyingly solid, his path is clear, and his accumulated knowledge of the laws of stars and the path of cosmic evolution is so profound that it makes even god-kings of the same level despair.

Given enough time to fully absorb his current accumulation, there will be virtually no bottleneck in breaking through to the second realm of God King.

Inside the shrine, time seemed to lose its meaning.

The starlight flowing around the stars sometimes flows like a gentle stream, warm and peaceful; at other times it surges like a galaxy, majestic and powerful.

His breath, amidst these fluctuations, steadily and slowly, yet with unwavering determination, moved toward a certain critical point.

No one knows how long this process will take; it could be a epoch, ten epochs, or even longer.

But for god-kings who possess eternal life, the one thing they have in abundance is time.

The stars have enough patience to wait for the moment when the breakthrough will come naturally and effortlessly.

At that time, his strength will once again undergo a qualitative leap, and the Star Kingdom will surely enter a new level.

Before that, he only needed to calm his mind, comprehend the laws, accumulate power, and wait for the day when his accumulated strength would be unleashed.

The entire Star Kingdom, under his silent cultivation, was operating and developing steadily and orderly according to the laws he had established.

Just as Xingchen was diligently cultivating at the top of the Divine Palace, steadily advancing towards the second realm of the God King, his subordinate in charge of intelligence presented him with the latest intelligence about the Yu Kingdom.

Among them, one seemingly insignificant piece of information was highlighted, but it was listed as the highest priority because it involved the name "Luo Feng".

Xingchen slowly awoke from his deep cultivation, a wisp of consciousness reading the intelligence report.

Intelligence indicates that a powerful stranger named "Luo He" appeared in the territory of the Yu Kingdom several thousand years ago. His strength has grown extremely rapidly, and he has made a name for himself in a short period of time.

His latest achievement was defeating a powerful Eternal True God who had been famous in the Yu Kingdom for a long time. He was recognized by all forces in the Yu Kingdom as having the strength of an "invincible Eternal True God", and some even speculated that he had already stepped into the realm of Chaos Ruler.

Currently, Luo Feng seems to be temporarily residing in "Huyang City" within the territory of Yu Kingdom, keeping a low profile and focusing mainly on cultivation.

Upon seeing this intelligence, a hint of a relieved smile once again appeared in Xingchen's usually calm eyes.

"The Eternal True God is invincible...only one step away from becoming the Lord of Chaos..."

He whispered softly.

"The speed is not slow. It seems that they have not slacked off in Yu Kingdom."

Although he knew that Luo Feng was exceptionally talented, his ability to reach this level in such a short time still exceeded his initial expectations.

This proves that Luo Feng is not only exceptionally talented, but also has no shortage of opportunities and hard work.

"Becoming the master of chaos is a major hurdle, requiring sufficient accumulation and a clear understanding of one's own path."

The stars pondered for a moment.

"He cultivates the 'Art of Elemental Origins,' so there's no need to worry about his temperament and will. However, the accumulation of energy and the fusion of laws may still require some external assistance."

Having thought this through, he had already made up his mind.

He raised his hand, and starlight gathered at his fingertips, slowly revealing three illusory leaves that seemed to be formed from the purest starlight and laws.

The leaves had mysterious patterns and exuded a refreshing and ethereal aura. Even their illusory appearance stirred a slight tremor in the surrounding laws.

"ink."

Xingchen spoke softly.

A blurry figure, seemingly made of shadow, appeared silently in the corner of the observatory and knelt respectfully: "Your Majesty."

“Send this item to Huyang City in the Yu Kingdom and give it to a cultivator named Luo He.”

With a flick of her fingertips, Xingchen solidified the three illusory leaves into three crystal-clear, starlight-flowing solid leaves, which floated toward the shadowy figure.

"Be sure to hand it to him personally, without mentioning my identity, just say it was a gift from an old friend."

"As ordered."

The shadowy figure respectfully accepted the three leaves with both hands, sensing the immense yet gentle energy contained within them. A sense of awe filled the figure, deeply aware of the preciousness of these leaves.

His figure flickered slightly and then disappeared as if blending into the shadows to carry out his orders.

Xingchen looked in the direction where the shadow disappeared, her gaze becoming deep and calm once again.

Giving him these three leaves from the Void Mother Tree was a simple matter for him, but for Luo Feng, who was at a crucial stage, it might save him from eons or even longer of hard work and allow him to take that crucial step more smoothly and quickly.

This is the little bit of help he can give as a teacher, without interfering too much in his students' growth trajectory.

"You still have to walk the rest of the road yourself."

Xingchen slowly closed her eyes, her mind sinking once again into the boundless ocean of laws, her starlight flowing endlessly around her.

In the distant state of Yu, within the city of Huyang.

Luo Feng, who was focused on comprehending the laws and refining his divine body, was completely unaware of this.

Unbeknownst to him, his teacher, who had become a powerful figure on the Origin Continent, had always been watching over him silently, and had quietly sent him gifts when he needed them.

The trajectory of fate continues to move slowly along its predetermined path, but some subtle assistance may make this trajectory smoother.

Time stands still in the divine palace, and years pass unnoticed in cultivation.

Xingchen spent several epochs cultivating in seclusion atop the divine palace.

For the vast continent of origin, several eras may be just a blink of an eye, but for many forces, it is enough for many changes to occur.

During this period, intelligence from the Star Kingdom flowed into the Star Kingdom's consciousness like a gentle stream.

Although he devoted himself to cultivation, he was not completely isolated from the outside world, especially regarding news about the Yu Kingdom, the Shi Kingdom, and Luo Feng, which he always kept in mind.

Intelligence indicates that the two neighboring and long-time rivals, Yu and Shi, have seen their friction escalate over the past few eras, with border conflicts becoming increasingly fierce. Several small-scale confrontations at the level of Chaos Overlords have already occurred, and the shadow of a major war looms over both countries, as if a full-scale divine war or national war could break out at any moment.

The animosity between the two sides has accumulated due to various resource disputes, territorial conflicts, and historical grievances, and has reached a point where it is irreconcilable.

There is relatively little information about "Luohe" (Luo Feng).

All that is known is that shortly after obtaining those three mysterious leaves, he left Huyang City, reportedly to go to a mysterious "Chaos Layer" secret realm for secluded cultivation. Since then, there has been very little news about him, as if he had vanished into thin air.

Xingchen was not surprised by this.

Having obtained the leaves of the Void Mother Tree, one should naturally go to the Chaos Layer to comprehend the laws of chaos and cultivate.

Xingchen continued his cultivation, waiting.

His aura grew increasingly deep, seemingly getting closer and closer to the critical point of the second realm of God King. The starlight surrounding him almost transformed into tangible liquid energy, flowing slowly, and each fluctuation caused the laws of the entire Star Kingdom to resonate softly.

I don’t know how much time has passed.
