Swallowed Star
chapter-497

The waiter’s explanation was very detailed about the many families within Swallow mound territory, the various organizations, sects and so on. These powers were split into different levels, Super, High, Mid, lower etc.

Na Family and Yu Family, these were mid level powers. The 13 axe was considered a High level power.

In the entire Swallow mound territory, there were three super powers!

They were the Rockwind family, the Pure feather family and the Hulei family.

The Hulei family was a certain savage group, the Rockwind family was the city leader’s family and the Pure feather family was the number 1 business family.

“Blood river crystals, they are extremely valuable. These three super powers have the highest possibility of having them.” Luo Feng sat there, tapping on the armrest. “As for the highest possibility among these three, that would undoubtedly be the Rockwind family. The 2nd would be the Pure feather family. As for the Hulei family, they are simply too far away, there’s no need to go there.”

A Domain level (domain lord), needed to fuse with 1 blood river crystal to acquire the recognition of the undying shrine, gaining the right to become a city leader.

Hence…

The city leader would definitely have already fused with 1 crystal. And as the most powerful in the territory, he’d have the highest possibility of having another. If one was the city leader, having already fused with 1 crystal, one would definitely try and get another crystal to fuse with once again.

“However, he is a domain lord!”

“And I’m only universe level 9. Of course…my domain is itself at level 9 and I am proficient in space and gold origin laws. I have confidence in killing a normal domain lord at level 2 or 3.. What I’m afraid of is that he’s domain lord level 7 or 8.” Luo Feng shook his head. Before finding out the exact details of his enemy, he thought it best not to mess with the city leader first.

To be able to control Swallow mound territory, that city leader wasn’t good to mess with.

“The target then should be Pure feather family leader!” Luo Feng squinted his eyes, gleaming coldly.

Although the plan has been set, the Pure feather family was still one of the strongest families in the Swallow mound territory. Within this family, there were many cloud levels (Universe level), and even one Domain level (domain lord) old man training. However, that was only from what the waiter had heard, whether it was true was still unknown.

……

The 2nd day, early in the morning.

Luo Feng’s spirit energy spread out through the space ripples. Through these ripples, he could feel the energy levels within 10km.

“Hm? Na Ke is here?” Luo Feng opened his eyes.

“Na Ke, cloud level room 2.” Luo Feng communicated.

……

The Na father and son, after arriving at flying cloud pavilion were prepared to ask around as to where that mysterious Lord Feng was staying. Within Na Ke’s mind, a voice resounded, “Na Ke, cloud level room 2.”

“Father, Cloud level room 2.” Na Ke said softly.

“How do you know?” Nabu looked shocked at his son.

“Big brother Feng sent the message to me mentally.” Na Ke said. Nabu, who listened to this was utterly shocked. This mysterious Lord Feng was terrifying. Even without meeting them personally and from such a distance, he already came to know that they were there.

“Let’s go!”

Nabu and Na Ke entered the flying cloud pavilion. Even though the cloud level forbid others from entering, the Na family was a regional tyrant family, others would easily help them. When the two of them arrived at Luo Feng’s room, they saw the black armored man standing in the yard.

“Big brother Feng.” Na Ke shouted.

“Nabu greets Lord Feng. Thank you for saving my son’s life.” A silver haired Nabu bowed respectfully.

“Come in.” Luo Feng smiled.

In the living room.

Luo Feng and Nabu both sat, Na Ke stood by his father’s side.

“Lord Feng, if it weren’t for you yesterday, my son would have lost his life.” Nabu exclaimed. “Last night, the entire Yu family was uprooted. Yu family, they too are a family that’s deeply rooted here, yet because of that one mistake their entire family business was destroyed. Yesterday, my son was almost dragged into it. Just thinking about it makes me afraid.”

“Uprooted?” Luo Feng frowned.

“Hm, I just got the most accurate news.” Nabu exclaimed and shook his head. “The Yu family actually had borrowed a huge sum of money, to get a set of armor from an ancient god ruin. They found the information about this by means of a secret channel.. However, It was a pity that their team was destroyed yesterday. According to them, the armor was taken away too. The Yu family has no way to return such a huge sum, much less the interest. Hence…those that lent the money raged and killed the family and stole all their fortune. Even then, they were not satisfied.”

“The ancient god ruins, what kind of place is that? Also, is a piece of armor that important?” Luo Feng asked.

“Lord Feng doesn’t know?” Nabu was surprised.

“Big brother Feng, even I’ve heard of the ancient god ruins.” Na Ke smiled.

“I only know that’s an ancient battlefield, a vast and huge battlefield.” Luo Feng said, “I’m only curious as to why an armor from that battlefield is so valuable.”

From the common knowledge books from the 13 axe space rings, Luo Feng came to understand several special places within blood river world.

One of which was the ancient god ruins, it however had very little information.

Ancient god ruins: Diameter 100 billion km, vast and endless, ancient battlefield.

The book didn’t explain more.

Nabu smiled, “The ancient god ruins, most people only know that it’s an ancient battlefield. However, me being a business man, through my special channels, I have come to know of several secret pieces of information. I believe that Lord Feng knows about the Outsiders?”

“I do.” Luo Feng nodded.

“The outsiders are extremely strong and powerful.” Nabu exclaimed. “ In theory, any cloud level warrior can fly out of the 18 levels of clouds, to outer space. However, any warrior that flies out through space would be killed by the outsiders living in the space!”

“We have no way to enter space. However that’s good too, as the outsiders find it hard to descend.” Nabu smiled. “I heard that every time they descend, they have to pay a huge price too.”

Luo Feng was shocked.

A huge price?

“This happened very very long ago, in an ancient period.” Nabu exclaimed, “At that time, the strong in Blood river continent were like the clouds, much more than now! And at the time…the outsiders descended. The powerful warriors from the outsiders clashed with the undying army from our side and the gods battled there!”

“God battle?” Luo Feng blinked.

“Our blood river continent had heavy losses, as the ancient undyings all fell. However, even though the sacrifice was huge, we managed to chase the outsiders out!” Nabu’s eyes gleamed. “After that battle, the outsiders never launched another huge invasion like before. And that huge battleground for the undyings back then…became known as the ancient god ruins. Although it’s extremely vast, it was indeed a broken piece of ruins.”

The youth Na ke beside stood, his eyes gleaming. “Large amounts of undyings forming an army, and god armies fighting each other. This is incredibly shocking.”

Luo Feng smiled.

Ancient god ruins?

Maybe large amounts of undyings had indeed battled there. However, to say that the outsiders were defeated, that was a joke. Not including the other powers…just the Virtual Universe Company’s knights or universe country leaders, any one of them would be able to easily destroy the entire blood river world.

“The ancient god ruins have a large amount of the special weapons and armors from the outsiders. Also, some of the armors from the fallen undyings, even if broken, are still very valuable.” Nabu said. “And the Killing aura in the ruins is extremely heavy. A few warriors who have weaker consciousness that entered would get taken over by the killing aura, and be driven completely mad.”

“However, there are still many that enter the ancient god ruins looking for the treasures left behind by the undying.”

“Also, people with strong killing auras absorb the blood river crystals easier. Hence, a lot of warriors do not care about the dangers within the ruins.” Nabu exclaimed, “Anyway, the ancient god ruins is a terrifying place. It’s a the place that entices the most, and a lot of the strong warriors from our continent flock there.”

“Ah?” Luo Feng frowned.

Killing aura?

Blood river crystal?

From the book he read before, the more one slaughtered, the easier it was to absorb the crystals. And Nabu said so too, the stronger one’s killing aura was, the easier it was to absorb the crystals. Hence, countless warriors flock there.

“So, slaughtering is to raise one’s killing aura.” Luo Feng thought. “This blood river crystal, just what kind of treasure is it? Why is it so that the strong one’s killing aura is, the easier it is to absorb?”

“Ancient god ruins!”

“If I acquire a few crystals and I am not able to absorb them, I can go there to try it out.” Luo Feng thought.

******

The Na father and son’s arrival made Luo Feng happy, because he came to know more information about the ancient god ruins. This was linked to whether or not he could become a blood warrior.

……

Flying cloud pavilion, Luo Feng’s place.

Luo Feng entered the virtual universe. Even though he was currently on a mission, the training mission didn’t conflict with his own study of the laws.

……

Yu Xiang Mountain, Absolute beginning region, Wuka’s villa.

“Rong Jun, Luo Feng, I heard that you two have begun the training missions.” Wuka looked at Luo Feng and Rong Jun. “What level did you two choose?”

“Difficult.” Rong Jun said.

“Luo Feng you?” Wuka looked at him, Rong Jun too looked over.

“Dangerous level.” Luo Feng said.

At that moment, both of them were shocked. Wuka stared wide eyed: “Luo Feng, it’s your first mission and you chose dangerous? That’s too risky!”

“It is dangerous indeed. In fact, I have a small problem right now.” Luo Feng was helpless.

“Although I’m doing the difficult level, I don’t even dare to be careless. Madman, you really are crazy.” Rong Jun smiled and shook his head.

Even though a thread of his consciousness was in the virtual universe network, his actual self was in blood river world’s Swallow mound city planning his mission against the Pure feather family. Firstly, he had to know what the leader looked like. This way, he can confirm his target. Next, he had to be clear about the mansion in which they stayed in.

“No problem.” Luo Feng shook his head. “Hm, I have to go. I’m doing something big today, I cannot be distracted.”

“Good luck.” Wuka said.

“Don’t go losing your life to the mission.” Rong Jun warned.

“Relax.” Luo Feng shook his head and smiled, following which he vanished and left the virtual universe network.

Blood river world, Swallow mound city, night.

After 6 days of serious study and preparation, Luo Feng became a gust of wind and without a sound or trace left flying cloud pavilion. In an instant, he arrived at a luxurious mansion that took up 10km in area. This was a mansion which was second only to the city leader’s.

“Pure feather family!”

The air shook, a silhouette appeared in mid air outside the walls of the mansion. Of course it was Luo Feng.
