Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 231 Origin Overlord! Luo Feng: What a coincidence that the Lord gave me as a reward? (7.9k views per day, please subscribe)
The Holy Land of the Milky Way.

Each of the two progenitors has a strongest clone residing in the Galactic Holy Land.

They usually work here to earn contribution points... and then exchange them for treasures. Through the Galactic Holy Land, their strength has recently improved slightly.

but.

The truly precious resources for improving comprehension, such as those at the God Emperor level, are controlled by Luo Feng and are generally difficult for non-core members of the Galaxy Holy Land to obtain.

'Yuan' has already built a new 'virtual universe' on the Origin Continent. Relying on some array materials borrowed by Luo Feng, and with the construction of a large number of virtual areas, it has finally combined and pieced together a virtual universe that covers the entire continent.

Virtual Universe - Origin Continent.

Within the group of gods and kings.

Luo Feng posted a message that caused a sensation, inviting the two founders to a duel in the 'virtual world' created by Yuan.

"Luo Feng wants to challenge us in the virtual world? I just glanced at the potential rankings. He's currently at the early stage of God Emperor, with the strength of a mid-stage God Emperor. Only two epochs have passed. How could he possibly challenge us?"

Both the Thunder Ancestor and the Flame Wind Ancestor received the message and were somewhat puzzled.

The information that Luo Feng had become a mid-stage God Emperor was not updated on the rankings immediately. Firstly, he was already the absolute number one on the potential rankings. Secondly, the ranking rewards were settled every ten eras, so there was no rush to update them.

On the potential list.

Their two progenitors were ranked quite low on the Origin Continent, several hundred places below, mainly because the Origin Continent server was too crazy.

Of course, even without the Galactic Sanctuary.

They won't get very high rankings either; their rankings aren't even as high as Di Qing's.

In terms of strength, one is a late-stage Enlightened God Emperor and the other is a Perfected God Emperor with a Bloodline Flow, so they are definitely stronger than Di Qing, who has only reached the mid-stage of God Emperor.

However, Di Qing has cultivated for less than one cycle of the Origin World.

They have already cultivated through many reincarnations, and in terms of potential, it is basically impossible for either of them to improve themselves further.

"I think Luo Feng probably wanted us to give him some pointers, but he told us in the group that he was embarrassed to say it in front of so many God Kings from the Origin Continent, so he said it was a 'sparring session'."

The Progenitor of Flame Wind felt that he had guessed the truth.

In the Origin Continent, the upper limit of power is at the level of a newly initiated God Emperor.

But it's a different story when they compete in the 'virtual world'; they can unleash their true potential!
Don't say that Luo Feng only has the strength of a mid-stage God Emperor, he hasn't even reached the mid-stage God Emperor level yet.

Even a mid-stage God Emperor could be easily destroyed by them!
"Let's go."

The Flame Ancestor and the Thunder Ancestor each logged into the virtual world, intending to spar with Luo Feng there.

News spread across the continent that Luo Feng was going to spar with the two progenitors.

'Difu' asked in the group: "The two progenitors and the galactic lord, could you spar in the virtual world of 'Origin Cultivation World' so that we can watch?"

Immediately, the other god-kings in the group also became very curious.

They obtained descriptions of realms above the ultimate realm from within the Holy Land of the Milky Way and from the virtual world established by the great being 'Yuan'. They also learned that the two progenitors and the progenitor of the Eastern Extreme Domain were both God Emperors.

And they also learned about their respective differences.

They also wanted to see what a battle between god-emperors was like.

Galactic Lord: [I don't care; it depends on whether the two Primordial Ancestors mind.]

Yanfeng Ancestor wondered if Luo Feng was still concerned about saving face. He originally wanted to ask them for some pointers, but was afraid of losing and didn't want to show them. However, he was too embarrassed to say it directly, so he wanted the two ancestors to refuse.
but
The Thunder Ancestor didn't think much about it and agreed immediately.

Since Brother Yinhe agreed to this small matter, I certainly won't hide anything from him.

The Thunder Ancestor was only worried about whether his methods would be exposed. Then he thought that Luo Feng had indeed made amazing progress. He had become a true God Emperor in just a few decades, and even had the level of a mid-stage God Emperor... He would probably be an extremely powerful being among all the beings in the Chaos Origin realm in the future.

But right now, we probably can't force him to reveal any of his trump cards or tricks.

A group of people
They went to the virtual world.

Many god-kings also logged into the virtual universe out of curiosity and followed along.

Virtual World - Originating from the Cultivation World.

"Fire and Thunder!"

Luo Feng's divine body flew out, and within his body was also a virtual 'low-end version of the Origin World'. This virtual world built by Yuan was similar to the one that the Primordial Ancestor had created in the original universe.

The Great Dao that one comprehends within is actually the manifestation of the Great Dao's origin in the external world within the virtual world; it doesn't require the entity itself to master those operational methods...

The Flame Wind Ancestor and the Thunder Ancestor also emerged, each controlling their divine bodies. Here, the Flame Wind Ancestor was an Enlightened One, with the same strength as outside. The Thunder Ancestor, however, was weaker than outside, as he was not an Enlightened One and had lost his bloodline, making him much weaker.

At the God Emperor level, one can exchange reward points for virtual Hunyuan Bloodlines, which can also assist in cultivation, and the price is not high.

However, the Thunder Ancestor had no interest in wasting time in the virtual world to improve a virtual divine body, so he was slightly weaker than the outside world, but still at the level of a perfect God Emperor...

“Brother Yinhe, how do you suggest we compete? You’re only at the early stage of God Emperor, and your strength is only at the mid-stage of God Emperor. Should we suppress our cultivation levels?” Ancestor Yanfeng asked.

Luo Feng then said:

"Need not."

"I've already reached the mid-stage of God Emperor."

"Just attack!"

"If we're talking about the mid-stage God Emperor, the gap between us is still too big..." Before Ancestor Yanfeng could finish speaking, he saw a massive phantom of a world looming over him.

"rise!!!"

Luo Feng raised his hand.

The projection of the Origin World appeared, and a vast and terrifying force pressed down upon it.

"not good."

The Flame Ancestor and the Thunder Ancestor planned to escape. They sensed that terrifying aura. The power of this Origin World projection was already at the level of a late-stage Enlightened God Emperor!

We're on the same level as them!

Once enveloped, one will certainly be at a disadvantage.

But
The phantom expanded too quickly, instantly engulfing the two.

In the Origin Cultivation World, the God Kings stared in this direction, completely stunned. They had never seen a God Emperor make a move before, and they were all eagerly anticipating this battle.

结果
All they saw was the complete crushing of the two progenitors.

"Two progenitors, try again! Use your strongest methods and see if you can break through!" Luo Feng's voice resounded across the virtual Origin Continent.

However.
The projection of the Origin World remained completely still, without even the slightest tremor.

"..."

On the continent of origin, all was silent.

‘Boom~’

Far away on the mainland, terrifying fluctuations appeared.

"Um?!"

"Galaxy, how did you find us?"

"I will attempt to annihilate all your avatars in the virtual world. I urge the two progenitors to cooperate and fight me with all their might!"

Following the cause and effect, Luo Feng found all the avatars of the two progenitors and attempted to transmit the methods of annihilation along the cause and effect...

"die!"

Luo Feng directly used the power of the world. The avatars of the two progenitors were attacked by terrifying power. However, some of the stronger divine bodies were not easy to deal with and could not be killed. His offensive power was only slightly stronger than that of the two progenitors, so it was not easy to kill them.

His main strength lies in his methods of imprisonment.
However, he directly used his other clones to perform a boundary-breaking teleportation technique to track down the two progenitors.

One after another, projections of the world enveloped them, capturing their divine bodies... including any means of self-preservation, none of them could escape his causal investigation.

Ultimately, they all transferred to an internal source world.

The multiple divine bodies of the two progenitors gathered together, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Fortunately, within the Origin Continent, the power is limited to those who have just entered the God Emperor realm. Brother Yinhe, no, Yinhe can't kill us either," Ancestor Yanfeng transmitted his voice. He was grateful that they were beings from the Origin World; if they weren't, they would have been different.

Even creating clones is impossible.

Then
If the open-source world cannot be broken, we will be trapped in a dead end.

The Thunder Ancestor nodded, also relieved that at least his life safety in reality was still guaranteed.

"Two progenitors, I'll try to kill your avatars on the Origin Continent. You two run! Use all your means to see if you can escape."

"Also, don't panic, I won't really kill you..."

Luo Feng's voice echoed within his inner world...

"?!?!" The two progenitors were stunned.

Reality originates from the mainland.

Across the continent, the god-kings watched as the galactic lord repeatedly broke through boundaries and teleported, accompanied by the two progenitors' attempts to escape.

but
All efforts were in vain. All of Luo Feng's main combat clones and the low-end versions of the Origin World within his body were enough to imprison the two progenitors.

In reality, besides their avatars in the Dark Holy Realm, the two progenitors also exist in other forms.

They were all arrested...

"Lord Galaxy, you promised not to kill us..." The Thunder Ancestor was truly terrified now.

Even if there are still clones in the Dark Holy Realm.

but
Luo Feng was actually able to unleash power exceeding that of an early-stage God Emperor on the Origin Continent; his strength remained undiminished!
"Don't worry, I'm just giving it a try."

Luo Feng waved his hand and released the avatars of the two progenitors.

On the continent of origin, the god-kings who witnessed the escape of the progenitors trembled with fear... The same was true for Di Qing and the progenitor of the Eastern Extreme Domain.

They originally thought that once they became god emperors, it would be difficult for them to die.

Unless the naturally occurring primordial life form devours the origin continent.

but.
Luo Feng was actually able to unleash his true strength on the Origin Continent.

At this moment, everyone understood that the Galactic Lord was now the true ruler of the Origin Continent!
"Being able to resonate with the Origin World is indeed an exceptionally powerful technique..." This is why Luo Feng was able to ignore the upper limit of power.

As Luo Feng was thinking, he received a mass message sent within the 'virtual world'.

Including the power rankings...

"The reward is so generous?" Luo Feng's heart stirred, but he didn't have time to focus on cultivation right now.

I'll just grab a spot on any list then, and focus on completing this phase of the 'Source World Architecture' as quickly as possible, reaching the pinnacle of God Emperor status.

He felt...
One's own attainment of God Emperor perfection may be completely different from others'.

"Go and capture the naturally formed, primordial life forms."

that's all.
Luo Feng, with his divine body, went to the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm and captured naturally born chaotic life forms everywhere. Each one captured was either a material or a free God Emperor-level laborer!

At his highest level, he can capture alive low-level Chaos Origin creatures at the 'Perfect God Emperor' level.

His method of capturing someone alive is almost equivalent to death. Only powerful figures at the level of palace lords in cities could achieve this.

When a large number of low-level Chaos Origin beings were captured, many of them were unwilling to compromise. They were taken to the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, where the lords promised them 'freedom'. Very few were willing to be captured and used as laborers, but there were always exceptions. Under Luo Feng's large-scale capture...

The number of free laborers has skyrocketed.

"It's a pity the time acceleration device is too expensive." Luo Feng was discussing with Chen Qi how to get a loan for the time acceleration device.

Because he possesses a low-end version of the Origin World within his body, he is incomparable to ordinary experts of the same realm. Even if he were to borrow money from himself and use a device to accelerate his speed by a hundred times, it would be extremely difficult.

The equipment is very expensive.

What he needs most right now is time to cultivate. He doesn't have any cultivation bottlenecks at the moment; what he needs is to accumulate experience quickly.
The power ranking is reset every 10,000 days.

To achieve faster progress and claim more rewards.

Then
'Time acceleration' is necessary.

Just thinking about it.

Suddenly, a new reward exchange was added to the 'virtual world': time acceleration... It was said to be to help the top performers on the potential ranking quickly convert their potential into strength, and the multiplier was exceptionally high, unlike the mere 100x acceleration he could get with his loan!
As long as your ranking on the potential leaderboard is high enough, you can get a discount; if you're number one on the potential leaderboard, you can even use it for free.

"Um?!!"

"What a coincidence?"

Luo Feng felt that the very thing he was worrying about had coincidentally appeared in the virtual world.

What a coincidence.

However, in reality, it was Xingmang who was observing the future timeline and prepared the 'cultivation resources' specifically for Luo Feng.

"Time-accelerated cultivation!"

Luo Feng was filled with anticipation.

A group of advanced Hunyuan life forms gathered, waiting for Luo Feng to log into the main server so they could visit him.

另外
The lord also assigned them tasks.

The lord assigned each of them a combat level that they could demonstrate, allowing them to dominate the combat power rankings and face the challenge of the 'Galaxy'.

As long as they hold onto their respective rankings for a long enough time.

They can also receive treasures personally bestowed by the lord... and even receive guidance from the lords.

This made them very eager.

They had no aversion to the use of time acceleration in the Milky Way, because their mission was to focus on the Milky Way's cultivation time, which meant that time-accelerated cultivation was also included.

"How long do you think we can hold onto our ranking?"

"Hard to say"

“Even if Luo Feng has high comprehension, it’s impossible for him to be without any bottlenecks, right? If he gets stuck at a bottleneck and doesn’t have an epiphany, he might be delayed for who knows how long…” A high-level Chaos Origin Lifeform, ‘Azure Demon’, said after thinking.

They didn't possess the same level of understanding as Yinhe.

Just as a farmer might guess that an emperor could wield a golden hoe to till the land, someone who has never seen or experienced an existence like Luo Feng in the vast Hunyuan Space cannot sense how strong his comprehension is.

"I think it might be difficult."

“Don’t forget, this galaxy will eventually belong to a new ‘lord’, and you cannot think like this with common sense.”

"He has reached his current level in just a few decades."

Even if he hits a bottleneck.

"estimate."

"We can only protect the galaxy for a few thousand epochs, definitely not more than ten thousand. Of course, this refers to the actual cultivation time, including time acceleration."

"Hmm, being able to reach this speed is already outrageous. After all, the lords set the Perfected God Emperor level as a Fusion Dao God Emperor level. This Fusion Dao God Emperor level is at least a World-level Chaos Origin, and may even have the potential to become a lord..."

"This galaxy is amazing, but it must have taken ten thousand epochs, right?"
