Swallowing the Stars, I am the Lord of the Galaxy

Page 373

The takeover process went even more smoothly than expected. After all, the highest-level combat force had been completely destroyed by Luo Feng, and the remaining forces were simply incapable of organizing an effective resistance.

The Star Kingdom was well-prepared and swept down with overwhelming force, almost annihilating everything in its path.

In a short period of time, more than 70% of the Food Kingdom's important territories and resource points have fallen into the control of the Star Kingdom! The remaining areas are like candles in the wind, and it is only a matter of time before they fall.

A momentous upheaval, capable of altering the landscape of the southeastern region of the Origin Continent, was almost settled in the blink of an eye.

Xingchen looked at the good news that came back, but there was not much joy on her face, as if all of this was just a matter of course.

"The rest is just about digesting these spoils of war."

He murmured to himself. Expanding territory is easy, but truly transforming these lands and resources into national strength requires a long period of management and assimilation.

However, that's a story for later. At this moment, he was more concerned about Luo Feng.

"Ok?"

With a thought, Xingchen sensed a familiar aura, carrying a faint smell of blood and a sharp sword intent, crossing the void and rapidly approaching the Star Kingdom.

Luo Feng is back.

A genuine smile appeared on Xingchen's face. With a flash, he appeared in the void outside the kingdom to personally greet him.

The void rippled slightly, and the figure of Xingchen quietly appeared, his robes fluttering without wind, and his body exuding a profound aura that resonated with the entire Star Kingdom.

He gazed gently into the distance, where a figure in a silver robe was hurtling towards him at a speed that transcended time and space.

The person who arrived was naturally Luo Feng. He moved extremely fast, arriving in the blink of an eye. Seeing Xingchen personally greeting him outside, he quickly quickened his pace and bowed, saying, "Teacher."

His voice was calm, and his eyes were still sharp as knives, but deep down there was a sense of profound depth.

Xingchen stepped forward, reached out a hand to help him up, looked him over carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you're back. It seems everything went smoothly."

He didn't ask about the result directly, because the overwhelming fluctuations and the two fleeing god-kings had already explained everything.

He was more concerned about Luo Feng himself.

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

Luo Feng straightened up, his tone indifferent, as if he had only done a trivial matter.

"The three rulers of the Food Kingdom have been completely destroyed, and there is no possibility of them being resurrected."

This short sentence contained a bloody truth that would horrify the entire Origin Continent. Three god-kings who had dominated their respective regions and lived for countless eons had vanished completely.

"it is good!"

Xingchen's smile widened, and she patted Luo Feng's shoulder forcefully, her eyes filled with satisfaction and pride.

"After this battle, no one on the Origin Continent will dare to underestimate your name, Luo Feng! The prestige of the Second Ruler of my Star Kingdom will resound throughout the world!"

Luo Feng shook his head slightly: "It is all thanks to the teacher's guidance and the support of the nation. If the teacher had not made arrangements in advance, even if we had successfully avenged ourselves, the vast territory of the Food Kingdom would have fallen into a long period of chaos and been devoured by various parties, which would not have been of much benefit to our human race."

He was insightful and naturally understood the deeper meaning behind Xingchen's early mobilization of the army.

Xingchen smiled, not taking credit, and instead asked, "Were you injured? How much power did you expend?" He could sense that Luo Feng's aura was slightly fluctuating, indicating that he had obviously gone through a fierce battle.

"It's nothing serious. I'm just a little tired from the depletion of my divine power, but it hasn't damaged my core."

Luo Feng replied.

"The three fought back fiercely in their dying moments, especially the Lord of Tiankun Kingdom, who did have some skill. However, that was all."

Although his tone was calm, Xingchen could imagine how thrilling that battle must have been.

To kill three veteran God-Kings in a one-on-three battle, including a powerful figure like the Lord of Tiankun Kingdom who was at the second level of the realm, was no easy feat. Luo Feng spoke of it lightly, but the dangers involved were undoubtedly beyond what outsiders could know.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Xingchen nodded, flipped his hand and took out a jade bottle, handing it to Luo Feng.

"Let's go back to the kingdom first. Chaos and the Primordial Ancestor are busy with the takeover, and you need to stay and keep things in order," Xingchen said.

The two walked side by side, transforming into streaks of light, and returned to the core of the Star Kingdom.

Along the way, seeing the country operating in an orderly manner, with efficient troop deployment, resource transfer, and information transmission, Luo Feng's eyes revealed a hint of approval. The teacher had arranged everything perfectly.

Upon entering the temple, the Chaos City Lord, the Primordial Ancestor, and others were busy, but upon sensing Luo Feng's return, they all cast excited, awe-inspiring, and extremely eager glances at him.

"Luo Feng!"

"The Second Ruler!"

The crowd bowed respectfully, their voices filled with barely suppressed excitement. Luo Feng's feat of single-handedly conquering the core of the Food Kingdom and slaying three monarchs was so astonishing that it had completely won them over.

Luo Feng nodded slightly to everyone: "Thank you all for your help. Everything can proceed as planned."

His return was like a stabilizing force, bringing the already high morale to its peak.

Xingchen said to Luo Feng, "You've just been through a great battle, go back and recuperate first. My teacher, grandmaster, and I can handle things here. Once you've recovered, there are more important matters we need to discuss with you."

Luo Feng did indeed feel waves of fatigue washing over him, not from physical injury, but from the immense depletion of his mind and strength. He nodded: "Alright. Then this disciple will take his leave."

After speaking, he gestured slightly to the crowd and then turned to walk towards his palace.

Xingchen watched Luo Feng's departing figure with a deep gaze.

He knew that after this battle, Luo Feng had truly established his status as an unparalleled expert, and his mind was now clear and unhindered.

The path of spiritual practice in the future will surely be smoother.

Meanwhile, the Star Kingdom seized this opportunity to annex the territory of the Food Kingdom, greatly increasing its strength and truly possessing the powerful resources to dominate the region.

Luo Feng returned to the palace to meditate and recuperate, while Xingchen took charge of the central command, coordinating the takeover process.

Meanwhile, a storm far more intense and far-reaching than the destruction of the Food Kingdom itself is sweeping across the entire Origin Continent at an alarming speed!

The continent of origin is too vast, and the transmission of information naturally takes time.

However, the instantaneous fall of a god-king level being, the resulting upheaval of the fundamental laws, and the terrifying energy fluctuations were like a lighthouse in the night, instantly perceived by the ancient beings of the top forces across the continent.

"From the direction of the Food Kingdom... such terrifying destructive shockwaves! At least three God-Kings... have perished simultaneously?!"

Deep within the ancient kingdom of Yanfeng, an old man surrounded by flowing wind suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"Is that Luo Feng, the newly ascended God-King of the Star Kingdom? He actually... has such strength? He single-handedly flattened the core of the Food Kingdom?"

Upon receiving the intelligence, the Thunder Punishment God King of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom was horrified, and the lightning in his hand flickered erratically.

"Investigate immediately! What exactly happened? What became of the five monarchs of the Food Kingdom? What are the movements of the Star Kingdom?"

The leaders of ancient kingdoms, reclusive sects, and powerful clans were all awakened from their seclusion and issued the most urgent orders.

Their intelligence network was operating at an unprecedentedly high efficiency.

Soon, more detailed and even more shocking news spread like wildfire back to the top echelons of various factions.

Confirmed! The three rulers of the Food Kingdom have fallen! Their souls and spirits have been annihilated!

The one who took action was indeed Luo Feng, the second ruler of the Star Kingdom!

The other two god-kings of the Food Kingdom fled in terror and their whereabouts are unknown!

The Star Kingdom's army has launched a full-scale attack and is sweeping through the entire territory of the Food Kingdom with overwhelming force! Those who resist die, those who surrender live, and order is being rapidly reshaped!

Each message was like a thunderclap, sending chills down the spines of the leaders of various factions and shaking their minds!

"He's gone mad! He's absolutely mad! Just what kind of monster is Luo Feng?!"

"He fought three against one, killing three veteran God-Kings, including the Lord of Tiankun Kingdom! This strength... has definitely reached the peak of the second level of God-King, and may even have touched the threshold of the ultimate realm!"

"Star Kingdom... Such ruthless methods, such speed! This was premeditated! Luo Feng killed people on the front lines, and Star Kingdom immediately took over the territory from the rear. The coordination was flawless!"

"The Food Kingdom... is it really over? An ancient kingdom with five God-Kings under its rule, its core destroyed and its territory changed hands in such a short time?"

After the shock, horror, and disbelief came a deep sense of apprehension and fear!

Luo Feng's personal strength has reached a terrifying level.

Their ruthlessness and decisiveness are chilling! The Star Kingdom's overall operational capabilities and its undisguised expansionist ambitions also send shivers down the spines of surrounding forces!

"The Star Kingdom... has risen, and it is unstoppable!"

An ancient being sighed. The Star Kingdom, having swallowed the vast territory and resources of the Food Kingdom, will see its strength and foundation surge to an unprecedented level, completely surpassing ordinary top powers and becoming comparable to the oldest super empires!

"Immediately prepare generous gifts and dispatch envoys to the Star Kingdom! Express your congratulations and be sure to establish good relations with them!"

"Issue the order: all territories bordering my territory that originally belonged to the Food Kingdom must immediately cease all covert infiltration and underhanded actions! No conflict with the Star Kingdom is permitted!"

"Reassess our relationship strategy with the Star Kingdom and treat it at the highest level!"

After the initial shock, almost all the major powers quickly made similar decisions—to befriend, appease, or back down! No power was willing to risk trouble at this time and challenge a newly emerged giant who had just demonstrated its ruthless methods and overwhelming momentum!

Those forces that originally bordered the Food Kingdom or even had some secret conflicts with it were terrified and withdrew their border troops overnight, fearing that the Star Kingdom would go berserk and "take over" them as well.

The entire southeastern region of the Origin Continent has undergone a complete reshuffling of its power structure. The Star Kingdom, with its undeniable strength and ruthless methods, has firmly established itself as the dominant power, its might resounding throughout the land!

The name "Luo Feng" also became known throughout the entire Origin Continent because of his terrifying feat of "destroying a country by himself," becoming the focus of discussion among all the strong, a legend that inspires awe and even fear!

Within the Star Kingdom, jubilation reigned, and morale soared to its peak. Every citizen and every soldier felt immensely proud of their nation's strength.

Chapter 372 XJ Domain

At the heart of the Star Kingdom, on a newly completed "Pantheon" square, large enough to accommodate billions of beings, the stars shone brightly and the rays of the setting sun shone in countless directions, exuding unprecedented joy and splendor.

In the center of the square stands a newly sculpted, majestic statue—Luo Feng, clad in silver robes, stands holding a sword, his sharp gaze fixed on the distance, his feet treading on broken demonic patterns symbolizing the three monarchs of the Food Kingdom, his imposing presence inspiring awe.

This statue has become a new symbol and spiritual totem of the nation.

The square was packed with people, including citizens of countless star kingdoms, elites from various subordinate universes, and powerful figures from various races under the kingdoms' command.

Their faces beamed with excitement, pride, and fervor as they eagerly awaited their arrival.

Today is the Star Kingdom's Grand Ceremony of Conferring Titles and Celebrating Victory for its Second Ruler, Luo Feng!

Celebrating the victory of King Luo Feng, who single-handedly crushed the core of the Food Kingdom, killed three monarchs, and displayed the might of his nation!

Celebrating the expansion of the Star Kingdom, the annexation of the Food Kingdom, the surge in power, and the rise to the ranks of the top giants on the Origin Continent!

"Om-"

Accompanied by a bell that seemed to originate from the very source of the universe, vast starlight descended from the sky, coalescing into a dazzling avenue of starlight.

At the end of the avenue, the figure of the Star Kingdom's ruler appeared first.

He was not wearing his battle robes today, but rather a solemn ceremonial robe embroidered with endless stars, and a crown of stars on his head. His aura was vast and majestic, and his face bore a gentle yet undeniably dignified smile.
