Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 97: The Path of Life’s Spirituality

Luo Feng extended his hand, causing strands of World Beast power to appear and quickly combine, soon forming a seemingly perfect structure.

“Hmm?” Morosa watched in surprise.

He had long known that his master’s divine power could transform into World Beast power. However, body refinement was something Morosa had only managed to break through after being in the Chaos Realm for a long time.

“On the surface, it looks similar, but there are still some internal differences,” Morosa observed closely before speaking.

“A small discrepancy can lead to a huge difference,” Luo Feng nodded. “My realm in the Origin of Destruction isn’t as deep as yours, so I can’t perfectly mimic it.”

To perfectly transform into something, one must fully understand its composition; otherwise, the best one could do is create a superficial imitation.

For example, one might superficially mimic a God King, but the internal difference would be vast.

“Moreover, I’m missing the ‘world.’ The ‘world’ within you is the core of your body refinement method and the key to your body’s strength,” Luo Feng shook his head, knowing that no matter how much he changed, he couldn’t create a world.

Luo Feng looked at the structure of World Beast power floating above his palm. “It seems perfect, but in reality, it’s unstable and on the verge of collapsing.”

He couldn’t help his master in this regard—his growth had been natural, through eating and drinking, without much need for research into secret techniques, which always gave him a headache.

“You can go back to what you were doing,” Luo Feng said, waving his hand and sending Morosa out.

Luo Feng remained alone, silently observing the structure of World Beast power floating before him.

It was beautiful!

As a child of the Origin of Destruction, Morosa’s mastery of body refinement was likely among the most top-tier techniques at the same level across the entire Origin Continent.

“Buzz.”

Luo Feng dispersed the World Beast power structure with a wave of his hand and began forming the same structure with divine power.

Divine power formed an identical structure, but it looked awkward.

“Not right, completely wrong,” Luo Feng shook his head.

…

Luo Feng continued to experiment alone in the Star Tower, trying to modify, simplify, and incorporate his ideas into the structure, but no matter what he did, he couldn’t create a stable divine power structure.

“My realm isn’t high enough. Simply trying to imitate and develop a body refinement method is indeed wishful thinking,” Luo Feng smiled slightly and dispersed the dozen or so divine power structures in the air.

“I need more accumulation in my understanding of the realm before slowly exploring further.”

Luo Feng looked into the distance.

In the corner of this layer of space, a small area was sealed off, where fifteen chaotic-layer creatures were flying happily. As long as they were fed a certain amount of chaotic crystals, they lived carefree lives.

Luo Feng had often observed the chaotic-layer creatures before, but after breaking through to the Chaos Realm, their value to him had diminished.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s thoughts stirred.

“Chaotic-layer creatures have an extremely simple structure, and I’ve studied them many times,” Luo Feng pondered. “I could try transforming into one.”

The “shapeshifting” ability of a perfect life form had failed in the context of Morosa’s body refinement method, but now Luo Feng turned his attention to the chaotic-layer creatures.

“Transform.”

Luo Feng pointed with his finger.

Immediately, a silver droplet formed, stable and solid.

“I understand the Law of Chaos, and this silver droplet creature is the one I’ve studied the most. It’s naturally composed of silver droplets,” Luo Feng smiled as chaotic divine power surged, forming a series of silver droplets.

A total of 120 silver droplets floated in the air.

Luo Feng watched with a smile, but gradually his brow furrowed.

“Something’s wrong.”

“They can’t merge?” Luo Feng tried to touch the silver droplets together, but they still couldn’t merge. “The real silver droplet creatures would merge on their own, with their power undergoing a qualitative change. But the silver droplets I’ve transformed can’t merge?”

“Why can’t they merge?” Luo Feng thought, “Could it be that I haven’t fully understood their essence?”

To perfectly transform into something, one must completely grasp its essence.

Back in the Primitive Universe, Luo Feng had confirmed his shapeshifting ability.

“The silver droplet’s structure is relatively simple. What am I missing?”

Luo Feng extended his hand and grabbed the longest silver light creature, composed of 1,091 silver droplets. In front of Luo Feng, now a Chaos Realm being, the silver light creature had no ability to resist.

It was quickly split into a single silver droplet.

“Swish.”

With a light stroke of Luo Feng’s finger, the silver droplet was split apart, dissolving into silver mist and manifesting the Law of Chaos in a materialized form.

“This silver mist is just a condensed form of chaotic power. The materialized Law of Chaos… hmm?” Luo Feng’s expression changed as he immediately noticed the issue.

Before, as an Eternal True God, he had recognized this as the materialized form of the Law of Chaos.

But now, having comprehended the Law of Chaos and become a Chaos Realm being, he saw it differently.

“This is indeed the materialized form of the Law of Chaos, containing the characteristics of the Chaos Gold and Chaos Water. But it also carries a hint of spirituality,” Luo Feng realized.

He had merely copied the materialized form of the Law of Chaos he had understood.

But in reality, the materialized form of the Law of Chaos within the silver droplets seemed to be “alive.”

“Alive?”

“A materialized Law of Chaos with spirituality?”

Luo Feng’s expression shifted.

…

In the region of the Primitive Universe, a strand of Luo Feng’s divine power avatar headed straight for the core of the Primitive Universe.

At the core of the Primitive Universe, where the Origin lay.

“The Origin Dao of Life.”

Luo Feng arrived once again, gazing up at the towering Origin Dao of Life.

It had different “aspects,” appearing differently depending on the angle from which it was viewed. After mastering the Law of Chaos, Luo Feng found that understanding the Origin Dao of Life wasn’t as difficult as it had seemed before.

“My realm was too weak before, and I mistakenly believed that the silver droplet creatures only contained the complete Law of Chaos. I was wrong, so wrong,” Luo Feng, facing the vast Origin Dao of Life, realized his mistake.

Before him, the endless serpentine dragon could be viewed from different angles, revealing a winding backbone that connected its entire body.

The information contained within this winding backbone made Luo Feng, for a moment, see…

Flowers blooming.

Furry creatures hatching.

An ancient tree that had lived for countless years suddenly gave birth to spirituality one day. It lived and became a plant life form.

“Life’s spirituality is the starting point of life.”

“A single point of life’s spirituality can turn even a stubborn stone into a living being, becoming a rock-based life form.”

“Silver droplet creatures have no clear consciousness; they can’t think or communicate. But their life essence is incredibly high,” Luo Feng thought. “Even their most basic life component—a single silver droplet—contains life’s spirituality.”

Like humans, and many other animals.

Blood, bones, muscles—none of these contain life’s spirituality. Only when the soul merges with the body can it be considered life.

Without a soul, it’s just a walking corpse.

Even for True Gods, Void True Gods, and Eternal True Gods… the soul is the foundation for all of them!

“Some plant life forms have their entire plant body nurture a single point of spirituality.”

“But silver droplet creatures have life’s spirituality contained within each droplet. This makes the life form formed by their final fusion exceptionally powerful.”

“I once thought their core was merely the complete Law of Chaos.”

“Now I realize that their core is the Law of Chaos infused with life’s spirituality, although the spirituality isn’t very high,” Luo Feng gazed at the winding backbone of the endless serpentine dragon before him.

Facing the Origin of Life, Luo Feng understood just how terrifying life’s spirituality could be when strong enough.

A single point of spirituality can turn a rock into a living being.

What if every droplet of divine power contained spirituality—how terrifying would that be?

“If it contained strong spirituality, every portion of divine power would seem alive, undergoing an essential transformation. The divine body’s strength, speed, and resilience could all rapidly increase. The divine body would become incredibly powerful, nearly indestructible,” Luo Feng thought. “Even more so, if I wished, a portion of my divine power could develop its own independent consciousness, potentially giving birth to a new life.”

A drop of his blood, guided by him, could form another powerful and living being.

These beings’ limitations would depend on how much power Luo Feng bestowed upon them! The more divine power he granted, the larger this independent life would be.

“If a God King were to split their flesh, they might be able to create thousands of Chaos Realm avatars,” Luo Feng thought. “But the split flesh would still be a part of the original divine body.”

“Splitting it off would weaken the original self.”

The path of life’s spirituality.

Concepts like “animating life” and “splitting off powerful avatars” are just auxiliary applications. For those who have walked this path and become God Kings, their divine bodies are the most terrifying aspect.

Their divine bodies are like upgraded versions of the silver droplet creatures!

Some of their flesh can condense into weapons! Destroying them would be as difficult as destroying God King-level treasure weapons!

“My realm is still shallow, and I can only glimpse part of the path of life’s spirituality,” Luo Feng gazed at the endless serpentine dragon. “Perhaps there are

even more terrifying aspects.”

The Snow Realm Ancestor had mastered one branch of the Origin Dao of Life. His life-preserving ability had reached an unimaginable level, allowing him to survive despite his countless sins.

“The Origin Dao of Life has multiple branches. The more branches one masters, the more terrifying they become. If one could fuse all the branches into one… and master the complete Origin Dao of Life,” Luo Feng looked up at the endless serpentine dragon before him.

Those who mastered the complete Origin Dao of Life would be akin to this endless serpentine dragon.

Such beings would become the embodiment of the concept of life itself.

“Life’s spirituality.” Luo Feng sat cross-legged, carefully studying the vast Origin Dao, focusing on the winding backbone of the endless serpentine dragon.

Luo Feng knew that his realm was still shallow. He was only researching aspects similar to the spirituality of the silver droplet creatures. When he could perfectly transform into a silver droplet creature, it would mean he had made a small achievement in the path of life’s spirituality.

Time passed day by day.

In Luo Feng’s eyes, there was only that winding backbone filled with endless information about life’s spirituality. Luo Feng continually absorbed this information.

The more he learned, the deeper his understanding of the spirituality of the silver droplet creatures became.

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

“I should be able to transform now.” Luo Feng, having accumulated enough understanding of life’s spirituality, naturally felt confident.
