Chapter 414: Volume Eleven: Shaking the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space
Kafuxiu's palms were like mountains as they blocked the first strike. The power of the first strike was simply too terrifying. It crushed down upon his palms before slashing across his entire body! The force was incomparably heavy. Even after being weakened by the battle armor, seventy to eighty percent of its power still spread through every part of his body, causing even Kafuxiu's powerful physique to tremble as countless cracks emerged.
“Hmph.” Kafuxiu could not help but let out a muffled grunt, yet the fire in his eyes only grew hotter.
At the same time, the second strike arrived.
The dazzlingly brilliant second strike was completely different in style from the first!
This strike carried the momentum of “severing everything.” It pierced through the battle armor and penetrated into Kafuxiu's body! In an instant, Kafuxiu's body was sliced into dozens of pieces, like shattered porcelain barely held together.
“Wonderful.” Even though he had been split into dozens of pieces, Kafuxiu still praised it in delight.
“Boom—”
The third strike followed immediately.
The third strike surged forward like a mighty river, endless and unceasing! After being weakened by the battle armor and transmitted into Kafuxiu's body, it also triggered the power of the previous two blade strikes that had remained within him! The third strike activated the first two, causing all of their power to erupt completely in a single instant!
Bang!
Kafuxiu's powerful body exploded directly into an enormous cloud of blood mist!
However, within the white battle armor, that vast blood mist condensed once more, reforming Kafuxiu's body.
Yet at this moment, Kafuxiu's body's energy reserves had been reduced to only twenty percent. Fortunately, he was continuously absorbing the power of the Destruction World, causing his energy reserves to rise rapidly once more.
“Three strikes, and eighty percent of my body's energy is gone.” Kafuxiu laughed heartily. “Throughout the entire Infinite Chaotic Origin Space, only Shazhou could do this before!”
Shazhou and Star Light Lord were universally acknowledged as the two strongest existences, yet their styles were completely different.
Star Light Lord excelled at controlling space-time and could observe both the past and the future, calculating every possible outcome. He excelled at prolonged battles, hunting down every fragment of an enemy's power.
Shazhou was destruction! Destruction! And more destruction! Some of the killing moves she had comprehended from the mysterious land, the Land of Tonggu, struck fear into the hearts of many ancient existences.
Although Demon Ruins possessed destruction that could be considered the ultimate, his techniques were far too clumsy. He had to fight at close range, and only the “tip” of the Strange Cube could unleash that unbelievable destructive power. As long as the Ancestors and Lords were not fools, they could easily avoid it. However, some of Shazhou's destructive killing moves were impossible to evade! That was why Shazhou occupied the Twenty-Seventh Layer while Demon Ruins occupied only the Twenty-Second Layer.
“Three strikes... Eighty percent of Kafuxiu's body was destroyed. If those strikes landed on me, I'd be finished! I absolutely can't take them head-on!”
“Judging from his battle with Kafuxiu that lasted for more than one era, Luo Feng's blade is nearly impossible to dodge!”
“How can Lord Luo Feng's strength have become so terrifying?”
One ancient existence after another gazed through the barriers of space-time, witnessing the battle.
And what they saw filled them with dread!
More than ninety percent of the ancient existences reached the same conclusion:
“When facing Luo Feng, the only option is to flee! Never fight him head-on!”
A direct confrontation?
Kafuxiu was the perfect example!
Kafuxiu ranked among the top ten, wore battle armor, and possessed an exceptionally powerful body.
Yet after only three strikes, this was the result!
“I've heard that among the paths by which the Cultivator Faction becomes Lords, the most difficult one is 'Breaking All Laws with Strength.'” The Infinite Serpent Ancestor coiled his enormous body across most of an entire Destruction World as he looked toward Luo Feng.
As the leader of the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction, he naturally collected vast amounts of information about the Cultivator Faction. The various paths by which cultivators could transcend the cage were hardly secrets, so learning this information was easy for the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.
“Star Light Lord followed the path of Breaking All Laws with Strength. This Luo Feng has done the same.”
“Star Light Lord's strength rivals Shazhou's! On top of that, he can observe both the past and the future, perceiving virtually every possible future. Dealing with him already gives me enough headaches.”
“And Luo Feng has only become a Lord recently, yet he has already reached the level of Star Light Lord and Shazhou.”
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor naturally possessed detailed standards by which he evaluated every Ancestor and Lord. After watching this battle, he had already reached his conclusion—
Luo Feng, Star Light Lord, and Shazhou belonged to the same level!
They represented the absolute pinnacle of combat power within the entire Infinite Chaotic Origin Space.
“Although I can suppress Kafuxiu, no matter how long I fight him, I could never destroy eighty percent of his body.”
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor sighed inwardly.
This destructive power completely surpassed his own.
The leader of the other great faction, the Ice Peak Faction, had also watched the battle with the utmost care. He remembered every single exchange between Luo Feng and Kafuxiu perfectly and had analyzed them countless times.
“This Luo Feng's destructive power surpasses mine.”
Ice Peak Ancestor admitted it inwardly.
If the difference had been slight, he might still have refused to accept it.
But the gap was simply too obvious.
There was nothing left to compare.
“He's on the same level as Sister Shazhou!”
Ice Peak Ancestor's eyes were filled with unwillingness.
Much of his prestige and influence came from Shazhou.
Shazhou firmly supported him and always advanced alongside him!
His authority within the Ice Peak Faction was far greater than the Infinite Serpent Ancestor's authority within the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction.
After all, within the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction, there were the Nine Emperors.
Nominally, the Nine Emperors were equals!
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor had needed to win over many Ancestors to obtain his current influence.
Even so, the Giant God Emperor's faction still paid him little attention.
Within the Ice Peak Faction, however, the entire faction was named after Ice Peak!
Nominally, he was the absolute leader!
And in reality, aside from Ancestor Pucheng, none of the other Ancestors within the entire faction truly dared to oppose Ice Peak Ancestor.
“I really look forward to fighting Luo Feng.”
The Strange Cube was incomparably excited.
He loved every kind of adventure, and he also loved fighting powerful opponents.
“His destructive power is now on par with mine!”
Standing within the deepest Twenty-Seventh Layer, the gray-robed woman Shazhou also revealed a fighting spirit in her eyes.
Throughout the entire Infinite Chaotic Origin Space, there were far too few opponents capable of making her take action!
She had fought Star Light Lord before, but she had never been able to touch him.
That kind of battle was simply too boring.
Shazhou preferred the collision of ultimate destructive power against ultimate destructive power!
She truly wanted to see which of them was stronger.
……
“Brother Luo Feng, do you want this layer of the Destruction World?” Kafuxiu asked enthusiastically. To him, a thoroughly satisfying battle was far more precious than a single layer of the Destruction World.
“No need.” Luo Feng shook his head. “Kafuxiu, just arrange for the World Envoys to attack me with everything they have.”
Occupy a Destruction World?
The Twenty-Third through Twenty-Fifth Layers were all ownerless.
Claiming any one of them would be effortless.
Perhaps he could even challenge the deeper Twenty-Eighth or Twenty-Ninth Layer...
Naturally, there was no reason to accept the layer Kafuxiu was offering.
“Very well.”
Kafuxiu nodded.
With a single thought, he ordered all two hundred and thirty World Envoys to attack simultaneously.
These World Envoys resembled plant lifeforms, with countless branches that looked like arms.
“This Destruction Power?”
Standing where he was, Luo Feng allowed the World Envoys' attacks to strike his body while carefully sensing them. A smile appeared on his face.
“This can be called the 'Power of Severing Vitality.' It consists of eighty percent destruction and twenty percent life?”
The Destruction Power of this world was of tremendous benefit to him.
It was also only the second type of Destruction Power combining destruction and life that he had encountered since entering the Abyss of Destruction.
Luo Feng immersed himself in cultivation.
However, his battle with Kafuxiu had already stirred up enormous waves throughout the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space, affecting more and more factions.
……
The Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction occupied more than half of the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space.
Many regions contained no Source Worlds at all.
Even so, countless Low-Rank Primordial Lifeforms and High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms continued to reproduce and thrive there.
After all, devouring the Source World Origin required meeting a certain threshold.
At the very least, one had to be a World-Level Primordial Lifeform to accomplish it!
The overwhelmingly numerous Low-Rank Primordial Lifeforms and High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms required far fewer resources to grow.
Within one such remote region lived Ancestor Shuiyu.
Ancestor Shuiyu protected his own clan, along with many weaker races under his protection.
He had never wished to participate in any conflicts.
However, his strength was relatively weak among the Ancestors.
For the sake of his entire clan's survival, he had no choice but to rely on a powerful faction.
Thus, he joined the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction and chose to follow the Giant God Emperor's faction, which likewise disliked conflict.
Not every Ancestor was battle-hungry.
Many joined major factions simply so that their clans could survive more peacefully.
If one traveled alone with no attachments, an Ancestor could easily live however he pleased by hiding in some secluded place or concealing his Life Core in an extremely difficult-to-find location.
But once burdened with an enormous clan...
Either one had to be powerful enough to disregard every faction,
or one had to join a great faction and accept its protection.
After Ancestor Shuiyu joined the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction, his entire clan was finally able to reproduce peacefully.
No one dared casually attack an Ancestor of the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction.
Doing so would be provoking the entire faction.
Moreover, he was a steadfast supporter of the Giant God Emperor's faction, which would naturally protect him.
Of course...
When critical moments arrived, if the Giant God Emperor's faction entered a war, he would also have to fight.
“How terrifying. It's far more terrifying than the previous war between the two great factions!”
Ancestor Shuiyu looked toward the Abyss of Destruction after watching Luo Feng's battle with Kafuxiu.
The Abyss of Destruction was occupied by the strongest existences in the entire Infinite Chaotic Origin Space.
If Ancestor Shuiyu himself entered even the First Layer, he would probably be blasted out immediately by Bafayu!
Bafayu had acted modestly before Luo Feng, but he still ranked among the top thirty existences.
How could someone like him think highly of an ordinary Ancestor such as Ancestor Shuiyu?
“Kafuxiu ranks among the top ten. Even I can only look up to him. Yet three strikes destroyed most of his body?”
Ancestor Shuiyu sighed in amazement.
“This Lord Luo Feng should already belong to the strongest tier within the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space.”
“If I ever face someone like him, I absolutely cannot fight head-on. I must escape immediately.”
The weaker an Ancestor's direct combat ability was, the more proficient he generally was at preserving his own life.
After all, every Ancestor had mastered at least one Highest-Level Power.
Each of them shone brilliantly in the aspect they specialized in.
……
Too many Ancestors had witnessed the battle.
Even those who had not seen it directly easily obtained battle recordings from their friends, allowing them to watch the entire confrontation between Luo Feng and Kafuxiu in full detail.
Most of these ancient existences were not even qualified to compete for the First Layer of the Abyss of Destruction.
Nevertheless, each possessed various observation techniques that enabled them to make their own judgments.
All of them reached roughly the same conclusion regarding Lord Luo Feng's level.
The moment you encountered him, you had to flee!
Never attempt to block him head-on!
“Magnificent!”
Lord Momang was overjoyed.
“As expected of someone who followed the path of Breaking All Laws with Strength. He's surpassed all of us so quickly.”
“He's already stronger than I am.”
From the Thirteenth Layer, Jin watched Luo Feng cultivating in the Sixteenth Layer.
Even so, Jin still disliked Luo Feng's policies for governing territory.
Luo Feng wanted to eliminate every opportunity for Calamity-type Cultivators.
In his view, a Calamity-type Cultivator treated every living being in an entire Source World as cultivation resources, monopolizing the Source World cycle after cycle and extinguishing every hope for the weak.
Standing from the perspective of those countless weak beings, Luo Feng believed that Calamity-type Cultivators, who “eradicated all hope,” should not exist.
Jin, however, admired Calamity-type Cultivators immensely.
He believed every one of them was an elite who had fought their way out from among countless living beings.
After all, he himself had walked that very path!
Their paths were different, and thus they could never truly walk together.
For the benefit of the entire faction, Jin was willing to cooperate with Luo Feng occasionally.
But ordinarily, he preferred to keep his distance.
“The fact that you're stronger than me doesn't mean you're right.”
“Naigu and I are both Calamity-type Cultivators.”
“In the future, perhaps there will be a third... or even a fourth Calamity-type Cultivator.”
Jin thought.
