Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

Chapter 816 Undercurrent
Originating on the continent.

Above Zhen Island City, the collision between the silver cage and the Hunyuan Space Eight-Phase Array was terrifying, yet equally difficult to discern.

Throughout the entire Origin Continent, only a handful of individuals, including the three major alien races, the rulers of myriad realms, and the Beasts of the Heavenly Wood Kingdom, have been able to glimpse even a few traces of it.

As all parties investigate the truth, they can only conclude that Di Yan was killed, and the murderer must be at least an Ultimate Realm being.

"Emperor Yan, the first emperor of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, who possessed a complete set of extremely powerful secret treasures, actually died in just two or three breaths?"

"Even the combined might of eight emperors from the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom couldn't save him?"

"Another ultimate realm powerhouse has been born, and he seems unafraid of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom's retaliation."

Various factions speculated, and the news also spread among the monarchs of the Thunder Kingdom, causing them to tremble with fear.

While the Origin Continent appears to have two ancient kingdoms on equal footing, in terms of sheer power, the Thunder Kingdom is slightly inferior to the Flame Wind Kingdom.

After all, the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom had Emperor Qing, an emperor whose strength had reached above that of a God-King.

Moreover, the number of emperors in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom far exceeds that of the Leiting Ancient Kingdom. Although there are nine monarchs, three of them are in a semi-out-of-control state and may attack their own people at any time.

"That murderer could have easily killed any monarch if he had targeted them."

"If it's just the Ultimate Realm, that's fine. But if it's someone above the God King level, they could probably cripple our minds with just one glance, driving us insane and out of control."

The monarchs of the Thunder Kingdom were uneasy. The flaws of their cultivation of the Primordial Bloodline were obvious, and they needed to allocate a portion of their mental will to suppress the Bloodline Will.

When facing beings above the God-King, a single glance can cause them to lose control.

"We need to be more cautious lately and find out the killer's identity as soon as possible."

These monarchs were much more cautious, and each of them stayed quietly in their own lairs.

……

"Oh!"

Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, a strategically important border region.

The Heavenly Shadow God King of the Di Yan lineage suddenly felt a stinging pain in his soul, and an invisible force was stealing his life force, causing him to fall down silently.

"go!"

"Next!"

After glancing at it, the God-King Zongfu moved on to the next God-King's post.

If the opponent weren't a royal god-king of the Di Yan lineage, a god-king at the first level, the Zongfu god-king wouldn't have bothered to take action himself.

The origin of life.

This path may seem weak in the early stages, but once you fully master it, it becomes flawless and equally formidable in terms of attack.

Although the Great Dao of the Life Origin of the God King Zongfu has not reached the ultimate realm, he has already comprehended all six branches and has basically integrated them, only lacking the final key.

The "deprivation of life" of the fundamental Tao of life is not only directed at the physical body, but also at the soul.

All paths lead to the same destination!
Many great paths share some common elements. The Great Path of the Origin of Life is the concept of the entirety of life, which also involves the soul.

only……

The soul aspect of the Great Dao of the Origin of Life is far less significant than the Great Dao concerning the pure soul.

……

The six weaker Divine Kings of the Imperial Yan lineage of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom all perished at the same time.

This incident naturally shocked all the forces on the Origin Continent.

"A good death!"

"He should have died long ago."

On the continent of origin, forces or god-kings who harbor hatred towards the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom naturally applauded, and they couldn't be happier that the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom was destroyed.

"What should I do? What should I do?" "Should I reincarnate?"

"Quickly seek the Emperor's protection!"

The royal god-kings of the Di Yan lineage were in a panic, rushing to the two emperors, Di Xi and Di Wu, for protection, fearing that they would be the next to die.

Most of the god-kings were more concerned about the identity of the murderer.

"Who exactly killed Heavenly Shadow God King and the other six? Was it the same powerful figure who killed Emperor Yan?"

They were very concerned about the impact of this mysterious powerful figure on the entire Origin Continent.

"The Flame Wind Guild and the Thunder Chamber of Commerce should soon find out some information about the murderer."

All forces are waiting. The consecutive deaths of six royal god-kings in the Di Yan lineage are clearly a retaliatory action against the Di Yan lineage.

"It is the Mother River of Life!"

"It was the God-King Zongfu and the God-King Yufu who did it!"

"So it's the River of Life. No wonder it's targeting the royal god-kings of the Emperor Yan lineage."

The two ancient kingdoms used their respective methods and quickly found traces of the Mother River of Life's actions in the past timeline. The God-King Zongfu personally took action to eliminate them.

The emperors fell silent!

The Lord of the Mother River, the God-King Zongfu, cultivates both the Great Dao of the Origin of Life and the Great Dao of the Origin of Cause and Effect, and possesses a terrifying secret treasure that surpasses even the level of a God-King.

That secret treasure, resembling a sharp thorn, is known to outsiders as the "Cause and Effect Wind".

The royal god-king of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom had killed dozens of people in the past, making him arguably the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom's greatest enemy.

Long ago, when the God King Zongfu was a subject of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, he was able to rival the first emperor of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, Emperor Yan, with a super-powerful secret treasure.

This was intolerable to Emperor Yan, who spared no effort to surround and kill Zong Fu in order to seize Zong Fu's treasure.

The two sides are sworn enemies.

The God King Zongfu was too terrifying. He killed more than a dozen royal God Kings of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom. Even the Yanfeng Ancestor could not tolerate it and personally went down to kill them.

Unfortunately, due to the restrictions of the supreme rules, the power of native life is limited to the upper limit of the God King ultimate realm, so even the destruction that the Flame Wind Ancestor caused to the Origin Continent was limited.

Moreover, the Lord of the Mother River cultivates the path of life and karma, and his ability to preserve his life is unbelievably strong.

Although its power is limited to the upper limit of the God King Ultimate Realm, with its extremely high realm and terrifying treasures, the Flame Wind Ancestor instantly annihilated all of the Mother River Lord's clones and resurrection vessels on the Origin Continent.

However, after the Ancestor of Flamewind left, the Lord of the Mother River reappeared, clearly having a way to prevent the Ancestor of Flamewind from completely erasing all traces of him.

The ancient kingdom of Yanfeng hates the Lord of the Mother River to the bone, yet they still cannot kill him.

The Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom's domineering nature led many of its god-kings, who had grudges against it, to join the River of Life, making it even larger.

Whether it's one-on-one or many-on-one, the emperors are able to overpower the forces of the Mother River of Life.

But now, they dare not leave, for who knows if the mysterious Yang Wu will make a move against them?

The emperors all fell silent.

The once high and mighty royal families of the two ancient kingdoms, especially the royal god-kings, have all become much more subdued in their arrogance.

Time passes gradually.

After the fall of Emperor Yan and the retaliation of the Mother River of Life against the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, the entire Origin Continent became much quieter and seemed to have become much more peaceful.

However, beneath the calm surface, undercurrents were already brewing and ready to erupt.

Until this day.

A shocking piece of news suddenly spread wildly across the entire continent, quickly attracting the attention of various forces.
