Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Chapter 259: Season 6 Episode 21 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada

Ancestral God of the Snow Realm, Sky Hou God King, and Lord Desolate Wind might not possess immense strength, yet their sins place them within the top ten in the Land of Origin. They managed to elude punishment for eons, chiefly because their ability to protect themselves was exceedingly powerful!

After all, among ancient beings, there were those who abhorred evil, and some who had conflicts with them; nonetheless, they could do nothing to harm these sinners.

The Ancestral God of the Snow Realm followed the path of the Life Origin, Lord Desolate Wind, the path of the Void Origin, and Sky Hou God King even took the Infinite Path—each oneʼs life-protecting abilities were incredibly troublesome. The simultaneous death of these three was indeed shocking for the entire continent.

”Good riddance!”

”They should have died long ago.”

”These great sinners have roamed the Land of Origin with impunity. Itʼs about time a supreme entity eradicated them.”

Those who loathed evil rejoiced and cheered.

Some Godly Kings carrying deep sins began to worry, ”They killed Sky Hou God King and the other two all at once, could it be that they will continue to hunt us down?”

”What a meddling affair.”

”What should we do, what should we do? Should we reincarnate?”

”There are so many great sinners in the Land of Origin, this powerful being probably only targeted the top ten. They shouldnʼt find me.”

These great sinners were thrown into complete disarray.

Of course, most Godly Kings were more concerned about the identity of the mysterious entity, ”Who exactly killed Sky Hou God King and the other two? Could it be the black-robed, golden-faced powerhouse?” They were eager to understand the influence this mysterious entity would have on the situation of the entire Land of Origin.

”Flame Wind Pavilion and Thunderclap Commerce will probably uncover some information about the murderer soon.” All forces were waiting in anticipation.

...

”We cannot find any traces.”

”Not even in the past timeline can we detect any sign of the murderer.”

The two Ancient Countries utilized all their methods, but they found not a trace.

If Luo Fengʼs assassination of the three monarchs of the Shi Kingdom left obvious traces, with even clear images,

This time, there was no trace at all! Space-time, causality... even all forms of energy fluctuations failed to reveal the killer.

”Could this murderer not be the black-robed, golden-faced powerhouse?” Both Ancient Countries harbored doubts, as the most recent comparable deaths were those of the three monarchs from the Shi Kingdom, and Emperor Tian Kun, also a great sinner. Their primary suspect was the black-robed individual!

Yet now, no traces could be found.

”The methods of this murderer exceed those of the black-robed one.”

”Could it be an Ultimate Realm entity! Or perhaps, an entity Above God King?”

The two Ancient Countries grew uneasy.

In Huyang City, at the city ownerʼs mansion.

Luo Feng leisurely sipped his wine, gazing at the starry night sky sparkling brilliantly.

”After killing three Godly Kings, the stars in the night sky remain as dazzling as ever,” Luo Feng commented.

Morosa glanced at the night sky and couldnʼt help but say, ”Those three were of mediocre strength and inconspicuous amongst the night skyʼs stars. The most prominent ones are those from the Ultimate Realm, the Emperors.”

Luo Feng smiled.

”Master, Iʼve always been puzzled about something,” Morosa said.

”Whatʼs bothering you? Letʼs hear it,” Luo Feng poured himself another drink.

”Master, if you want to kill the top ten sinners, why not mobilize all at once and dispatch ten avatars... to exterminate them instantly!” Morosa said, ”As it stands, youʼve already eliminated the weakest three. The remaining seven will certainly be on guard by now, and itʼs possible that some, out of fear, will reincarnate proactively. Then you wonʼt be able to find them at all.”

Luo Feng looked at Morosa.

”Among the top ten sinners of the Land of Origin, the three I killed were the weakest and their sins were the least severe among them.”

”The remaining seven are not ordinary.”

”Three are Royal Family God Kings! Residing in holy sites like ʼMt. Leitingʼ of the Thunder Ancient Country, and ʼYan Capitalʼ of the Flame Wind Ancient Country. The moment we enter, we would be immediately discovered,” Luo Feng explained. ”Moreover, there are four other cultivators who are solitary wanderers with fearsome strength and sins that are sky-high.”
