Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent-Chapter 310 : A Strike of the Lieu Yuan Technique!

Chapter 310: A Strike of the Lieu Yuan Technique!

The Simulated Eye of Life and Death on Luo Feng’s forehead could see the figure of the mental woman, yet it failed to recognize her. This was because the true body of the Master of the Insect Nest and her Mental Clone differed in both appearance and aura.

“Master of the Insect Nest?”

Relying on the formation of the Yun Dan Tower, Yun Dan Tower Master Changqing was barely able to glimpse the figure of the mental woman. The moment he saw her, he was greatly shocked.

He had dealt with the Master of the Insect Nest far too many times and had also seen her Mental Clone before.

“Changqing!”

The mental woman stood there, looking coldly at Yun Dan Tower Master Changqing as waves of mental power spread out.

“Just because this God Emperor Luo Feng joined your Yun Dan Tower, you think you can ignore me now? So you recklessly expanded your business?”

“I did not expand recklessly. It is merely normal competition,” Yun Dan Tower Master Changqing said. “My prices remain the same as before. I simply began supplying normally again. My pills at the same level have always been cheaper than those from your Insect Nest. Naturally, the various forces of Rainlan City would rather buy from me.”

“Heh.”

The mental woman looked at Yun Dan Tower Master Changqing and laughed—an unrestrained laugh.

“In front of me, do you even have the qualifications to compete normally?”

Yun Dan Tower Master Changqing felt his heart tighten.

“It seems I haven’t disciplined you for too long,” the mental woman sighed. “I’ve been too merciful!”

“Master of the Insect Nest, both of us are cultivators from the Source World and both possess clones.” Yun Dan Tower Master Changqing was angered. “You cannot truly destroy me, so why bully me like this?”

“I’ll bully you every time I see you. What can you do about it?”

The mental woman sneered, then turned her gaze toward Luo Feng not far away.

“So this is God Emperor Luo Feng? Are you certain you want to interfere in the matter between me and Yun Dan Tower Master Changqing?”

“You’d better think carefully. If you interfere, you’ll have to pay the price!” she said while staring at Luo Feng.

“I have already accepted the Pavilion Master’s payment,” Luo Feng said. “I am now the Deputy Tower Master of the Yun Dan Tower. I have no intention of becoming an enemy of the Insect Nest, but no matter what, I must protect the Yun Dan Tower.”

“I understand.”

The mental woman nodded. Her eyes suddenly turned completely black, and her voice deepened.

“Then let me see what kind of strength you possess to dare act arrogantly before me!”

“Brother Luo Feng, be careful. This is her Mental Clone. She specializes in mental contamination,” Yun Dan Tower Master Changqing transmitted mentally.

“I know.”

Since Luo Feng had accepted Yun Dan Tower Master Changqing’s invitation, he had long known that he might face the Master of the Insect Nest.

Information about the Master of the Insect Nest was no secret in Rainlan City.

When she had been extremely weak, the Master of the Insect Nest had already suffered severe mental contamination. After reaching the Late-Stage God Emperor within the Path of Comprehenders, she was unable to reach completion—likely due to the heavy contamination. Thus she switched to the Bloodline Path. In the Dark Holy Realm, she spent all her accumulated resources to exchange for a High-Rank Primordial Lifeform Bloodline known as the “Wujian Cicada Tomb” bloodline.

This bloodline actually favored mental contamination. As long as she could maintain a trace of clarity, the more terrifying the contamination became, the greater the power her bloodline could unleash.

According to legend…

If one’s mental will could escape the Prison Cage and combine with sufficient mental contamination, it could completely unlock the true power of the “Wujian Cicada Tomb” bloodline, triggering the ultimate awakening of the bloodline and transforming the user into a High-Rank Primordial Lifeform.

“This time she came with a Mental Clone, so she is only using pure mental methods,” Luo Feng thought. “In the Dark Holy Realm, she tried every possible way to increase her mental contamination. With the ‘Wujian Cicada Tomb’ bloodline, she can maintain clarity. But if her contamination touches other Half-Primordial Level experts… even if they can resist it, they would need an extremely long time and a great price to slowly cleanse the contamination.”

Even among Elders, many who had reached the Half-Primordial Level in mental will still feared the Master of the Insect Nest.

But Luo Feng did not.

“The Heart of Immortality naturally resists mental invasion. And I also possess the secret technique left behind by Senior Yuan—the Lieu Yuan Technique. With both methods, why would I fear her contamination? That would be a joke!” Luo Feng thought.

“Luo Feng!”

The mental woman looked at Luo Feng and grinned. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Whoosh—

The mental woman suddenly appeared before Luo Feng and gently embraced him!

This was the power of mental force—it transcended the concept of speed. The moment she saw Luo Feng, a single thought allowed her to entangle and embrace him. On the surface of her body, twisted and frenzied faces began appearing.

The instant Luo Feng was embraced, everything around him vanished.

At that moment…

Luo Feng “saw” an incomparably massive illusory insect nest before him. This illusory nest trapped countless consciousnesses. Their faces struggled in agony. The nest also began eroding Luo Feng.

“How many cultivators have you killed? Not only killing them, but also devouring their souls? Turning them into part of yourself?”

The moment Luo Feng was invaded, he immediately sensed the Master of the Insect Nest’s methods.

She had actively devoured an incalculable number of souls. Instead of destroying them, she fused them into the insect nest. Their consciousnesses were forever trapped inside.

Though the Master of the Insect Nest appeared to be a single cultivator, she actually contained the consciousness of hundreds of millions of beings.

But her own consciousness was the main one. All the others were merely nourishment.

“I endure the contamination alone—how much can I bear?”

“So I let them bear it with me and share the burden.”

“This is the power of the collective. Hahaha… Luo Feng, the contamination I endured within endless nightmares—you should experience it too!”

Her voice echoed as the contamination seeped in.

This was why many Elders feared the Master of the Insect Nest so much. The contamination she unleashed was borne collectively by hundreds of millions of consciousnesses. Once another Elder was infected, it would feel worse than losing several clones.

“Hm? What’s going on?”

The Master of the Insect Nest was surprised.

She tried for several breaths, using every method she was proficient in. Yet she could not find even the slightest flaw or crack. She could not contaminate Luo Feng in the slightest.

“Master of the Insect Nest, if you only cultivated yourself, that would be one thing. But devouring the souls of hundreds of millions of cultivators and forcing them to suffer eternal torment… trash like you should have died long ago,” Luo Feng said with intense killing intent.

At that moment, Luo Feng only regretted that his strength was not yet sufficient.

After all, the Master of the Insect Nest came from the Source World and possessed multiple clones. Killing her would be extremely difficult.

“No wonder you dared help Yun Dan Tower Master Changqing—you have a method to resist mental invasion. This time I only sent a Mental Clone to warn you. Next time, it will be my true body—”

“You think you’re qualified to warn me?”

“You trash!”

“Lieu Yuan Technique!”

Luo Feng showed no mercy.

Previously, his mental will had already reached the level of a Complete God Emperor. Recently, while comprehending the Primordial Bloodline and observing the most perfect answer, his mental will had naturally improved slightly. Just that slight improvement allowed him to touch the limit beneath the Prison Cage.

Before breaking the Prison Cage, his mental will had reached its absolute limit. Many Elders and Half-Primordial Level powerhouses possessed this level of mental will.

However, very few possessed the will-based secret techniques left behind by Senior Yuan.

Even the Ancestors of the Two Ancient Kingdoms and the Three Major Foreign Races had always desired the secret techniques left by Senior Yuan. Even if they might not suit them, they still longed to obtain them—because such techniques could not be created by God Emperors.

Luo Feng had studied the Lieu Yuan Technique for a long time.

Recently, while comprehending the Primordial Bloodline, he glimpsed the core essence of escaping the Prison Cage—Perfect Unity.

Only by perfectly unifying all mysteries could the ultimate transformation occur.

Because of this, Luo Feng’s understanding of the Lieu Yuan Technique deepened further, faintly gaining a sense of natural perfection.

“Destroy!”

His mental will had reached the limit beneath the Prison Cage. With his new insights, he executed the Lieu Yuan Technique.

A slowly rolling miniature star appeared within the Master of the Insect Nest’s perception.

This star was far smaller and far more ordinary than before. But that also meant the mental will was more condensed, its aura completely restrained.

Boom—

The moment the Master of the Insect Nest’s Mental Clone saw the star rolling toward her, there was no way to evade.

“A mental secret technique?”

She did not care at all. She had fought too many mental battles with other powerhouses—why would she fear Luo Feng’s mental attack?

Boom!

The miniature star slammed into her Mental Clone.

Her form instantly shifted from a woman into the shape of an illusory insect nest—the most stable form.

Yet even this illusory nest was torn apart, pierced through, and crushed by the star.

“How is this possible?”

The Master of the Insect Nest could not believe it.

The mental star Luo Feng unleashed looked so small and ordinary—yet it was impossible to resist.

Only now did she realize that the star carried a faint sense of natural perfection, somewhat similar to the aura of the “Wujian Cicada Tomb” bloodline she had exchanged for.

“He must have obtained the secret techniques left behind by Senior Jin and the others,” she thought painfully.

As the illusory insect nest was crushed from within, hundreds of millions of fused souls were shattered in an instant. When those souls broke apart, they revealed smiles of relief. The once stable system of the nest collapsed into chaos, and the suppressed contaminations erupted violently.

“This is bad! My Mental Clone has been injured. I can’t suppress the contamination anymore. I must return immediately!”

After suffering that strike, the Mental Clone instantly shot across the sky toward her lair.

“Luo Feng! I didn’t expect you to possess such a powerful mental secret technique. I suffered today, but next time I will reclaim this debt!”

Her voice echoed across the surroundings of Luo Feng and Yun Dan Tower Master Changqing.

But her Mental Clone had already disappeared into the distance.

A purely mental clone could attack or escape far faster than any physical body.

Luo Feng only had time to unleash the Lieu Yuan Technique once. Before he could launch a second strike, the clone had already escaped beyond sight.

“A purely mental clone escapes really quickly,” Luo Feng sighed.

Yun Dan Tower Master Changqing stared at Luo Feng in shock.

“You defeated the Master of the Insect Nest?” he asked in disbelief.

When he invited Luo Feng, he only hoped Luo Feng could rely on the prepared Fixed Grand Formation to hold the ground.

He never expected Luo Feng could defeat the Master of the Insect Nest.

Who was the Master of the Insect Nest?

In Rainlan City, beneath the Three Hall Masters, there were figures like the Master of the Insect Nest, the Master of the Trick Workshop, and Elder Xingyi. Their strength was fundamentally different from ordinary Elders.

Ordinary Elders generally had one path reaching the Late-Stage God Emperor. But figures like the Master of the Insect Nest and the Master of the Trick Workshop usually had two paths reaching the Late-Stage God Emperor level.

“I only defeated her Mental Clone. It’s not worth mentioning,” Luo Feng said seriously.

He knew very well that if the Master of the Insect Nest’s true body appeared with multiple secret treasures, that would represent her real strength—far more terrifying than a mere Mental Clone.

…

“Damn Luo Feng.”

Inside the massive insect nest, the Mental Clone had returned. The Master of the Insect Nest was now in immense pain.

Luo Feng had no idea how much trouble that single strike of the Lieu Yuan Technique had caused her.

It was far worse than losing several clones.

“The contamination is losing control!”

“I must stabilize it… stabilize it!”

The Master of the Insect Nest had no time to think about revenge or anything happening outside.
