Chapter 426 : Volume Eleven Sharpening the Blade (Part 2)
Chapter 426: Volume Eleven Sharpening the Blade (Part 2)
Level 22 of the Abyss of Destruction.
The Destruction World on this level had already been twisted and shattered, distorted into surging streams of energy. Endless streams of energy revolved around that strange cube, while this strange cube, ‘Demon Ruins’, remotely sensed Luo Feng’s location.
“He’s here.” Demon Ruins was filled with anticipation.
He had stood at the pinnacle of the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space from the moment he was born, undying and indestructible! His destructive power at close range could even be called the strongest! It was just that those Ancestors and Lords wouldn’t foolishly engage him in close-range combat either.
His movement technique was also weak, so naturally, his deterrence was far inferior. Within the Abyss of Destruction, he only occupied Level 22, far behind Shazhou and Star Light.
A figure traversed space-time and descended. It was Luo Feng.
“You’re here.” Demon Ruins emitted excited fluctuations.
Luo Feng looked around. The Destruction World on this level had already been shattered and twisted, revolving around ‘Demon Ruins’. This scene reminded Luo Feng of the fourth statue on Destruction Mountain, the Demon Ruins-like existence formed from 125 small cubes. That fourth statue’s methods were far more formidable than ‘Demon Ruins’. Not only was it powerful in close combat, it was also skilled in long-range attacks, and its killing capability completely overwhelmed the current Luo Feng.
“Demon Ruins has potential. He has hopes of evolving into the form of the ‘fourth statue’.” Luo Feng thought, “His techniques right now are still too simple.”
After all, ever since he had been nurtured and born, Demon Ruins’ strength had shown no obvious improvement.
“How do you need me to cooperate with you?” Demon Ruins was rather enthusiastic, “Should we fight one-on-one, or should I arrange for World Envoys to besiege you together?”
“Either is fine.” Luo Feng smiled.
He was hostile toward Infinite Serpent Ancestor, but he held no grudge whatsoever against Demon Ruins.
No faction would make an enemy of an independent, undying and indestructible existence like Demon Ruins, especially one with such overwhelming strength.
“Hahaha, then let’s start one-on-one!” The enormous cube that was Demon Ruins erupted with terrifying fluctuations, immediately tearing through the sky with a boom as it charged forward carrying endless streams of energy.
This flying speed appeared extremely fast, but at the level of Lords and Ancestors, his movement technique was considered very weak.
Formidable existences such as ‘Infinite Serpent Ancestor’ and ‘Feather Emperor’ could all achieve Omnipresence! By borrowing the Power of the Blood Crane Territory, Luo Feng could also shift and transform over short distances with ghostlike unpredictability.
Even Wu Lan, who ranked last in speed among the Eight Lords, was slightly faster than Demon Ruins.
“Don’t dodge, don’t dodge!” The enormous cube charged toward him, filled with anticipation. It loved head-on clashes the most. If Luo Feng dodged, this confrontation would be far too boring.
Luo Feng, clad in a Blood-Colored Robe, stood where he was without moving a single step.
Across the entire Infinite Chaotic Origin Space, there wasn’t a single lifeform capable of forcing him to dodge! Luo Feng was also very curious just how powerful the so-called destructive power that was ‘said to be at the strongest level at close range’ truly was?
“Boom——”
“Hmm?” Luo Feng carefully sensed it as the ‘tip’ of the enormous strange cube collided with his Protective Energy Layer.
The Protective Energy Layer was supplied by the energy of 1.8 Billion Origins and formed through the profound mysteries of the Primordial Life-and-Death Path! It was further empowered by the Power of the Blood Crane Territory and possessed characteristics such as ‘Undying’ and ‘Shadow’.
“Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~~” The instant the tip touched the Protective Energy Layer, it caused the Protective Energy Layer to cave inward, and its sharpest point easily penetrated the energy layer. It then came into contact with the blood-red robe and similarly pierced through the robe before stabbing into Luo Feng’s skin, muscles, and bones……
“This?”
“How marvelous.”
Although Luo Feng had fought the fourth statue on Destruction Mountain before, that statue had long since had no need to use techniques in such a foolish manner. Luo Feng had never experienced such a ‘pure’ method before.
That single tip of the strange cube! Its ‘sharpness’ even surpassed the theoretical limits of the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space!
That gave this single point inconceivable destructive power. In terms of that ‘single point’ alone, its terrifying destructive power was something even several dozen Ancestors working together fell far short of. Yet it also possessed one fatal flaw——
This single sharp point was smaller than the theoretical limits of the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space.
One had to know that Luo Feng’s body was incomparably enormous, possessing a size one-third that of a ‘normal Source World’! Moreover, his entire body had no vital points. Therefore, even though this ‘smallest point’ pierced through his defenses, the injury it inflicted upon Luo Feng remained extremely minor.
“Although it has a point capable of penetrating anything, the area it can damage is far too small.” Luo Feng stood there as the tip of the strange cube stabbed into him. Its edges were also incomparably sharp, while its overall might was exceedingly powerful, forcibly sinking partially into Luo Feng’s body, but in the end, it became completely stuck.
The slight energy loss caused by this attack was restored by Luo Feng in an instant.
“You dare clash with me head-on. Luo Feng, I like opponents like you.” Demon Ruins was incomparably excited, and his favorable impression of Luo Feng rapidly soared.
He had once fought Star Light Lord. Star Light Lord had been right in front of him, yet he simply couldn’t touch or injure him! Star Light Lord also wouldn’t foolishly clash head-on with him. As for ‘Shazhou’, she had transformed into endless flames and achieved Omnipresence, so there was similarly no way to clash head-on with her.
Luo Feng was incomparably powerful and could even clash head-on with him, so Demon Ruins was naturally delighted.
“I also like opponents like you.” Luo Feng was rapidly comprehending Demon Ruins’ ‘point-breaking strike’. That point could penetrate anything! It was because of its extreme smallness.
“That sharp point of his isn’t matter, but rules.”
“At a point beyond the theoretical limit, no matter or energy can exist independently. Only rules can exist there, forming a point of extraordinarily powerful destruction.”
“The rules within that point are formed through the entanglement of the incomparably vast profound mysteries of the two rules of Ultimate Point and Destruction.”
Luo Feng’s Primordial Blade Dao likewise pursued destructive power capable of severing anything, but compared to Demon Ruins’ innate talent, the gap was considerable.
“I’m coming.” Demon Ruins’ voice boomed throughout heaven and earth. He once again charged recklessly forward and clashed with Luo Feng again and again! Luo Feng also actively met him in repeated clashes, carefully familiarizing himself with his opponent’s destructive techniques.
“My ‘Ultimate Point’ can penetrate anything, but it’s too small! Even if a tiny point of the enemy is destroyed, the injury is still very minor.” As Demon Ruins fought Luo Feng, he became increasingly aware of his own powerlessness, “Kafuxiu once told me…… he had seen a statue, and I can evolve toward that form.”
“Split myself? Split into 125 of myself? I’ve tried it before. Once I split apart, each subsidiary body becomes very weak. Instead of increasing, my strength actually decreases.” Demon Ruins was also pondering a method of evolution.
Even with Kafuxiu’s help, he only knew that such a direction existed.
But he still didn’t understand how he could evolve in that direction? And after evolving, how could he become stronger?
“I understand!”
Luo Feng had long since mastered the ‘Power of Severance’, and his accumulation in the Primordial Blade Dao was incomparably profound. After repeatedly clashing with Demon Ruins, he finally glimpsed the profound mysteries of Destruction contained within that single ‘sharp’ point.
The reason Demon Ruins possessed such destructive power was because he had been born containing both the ‘Power of the Ultimate Point’ and the ‘Power of Destruction’, which was why his destructive power was so terrifying. The ‘Power of the Ultimate Point’ had also granted him the ability to be undying and indestructible.
He and Origin represented two extremes. Yet for either of them to improve even slightly was incomparably difficult.
Because the powers they were born with were already extremely perfect.
What Luo Feng glimpsed was merely a portion of the profound mysteries of Destruction within it. He had no way to master Demon Ruins’ innate technique.
After glimpsing it, Luo Feng began testing other techniques of the Primordial Blade Dao. Demon Ruins, who was thoroughly enjoying the battle, summoned another 90 World Envoys to join forces and besiege Luo Feng, but even after joining forces, they were still somewhat inferior.
Once Luo Feng deployed his Blade Formation, he could easily defeat those World Envoys.
Until, at a certain moment, Demon Ruins suddenly stopped and hovered there, seemingly lost in thought. The World Envoys continued following their previous orders and kept besieging Luo Feng.
Seeing his opponent lost in thought, Luo Feng didn’t disturb him. He simply took a step through space-time, broke free from those World Envoys, and headed toward Level 23.
……
This confrontation had also fallen within the expectations of the various factions throughout the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space. Demon Ruins’ flaw was obvious, and no one had believed he could defeat Luo Feng!
Levels 23, 24, and 25 of the Abyss of Destruction.
These were Destruction Worlds that Yuan, Ice Peak Ancestor, Infinite Serpent Ancestor, Demon Ruins, and the others had all attempted, yet none had been able to pass.
Luo Feng proceeded through them level by level, tempering his Blade Technique, and easily passed all three levels before arriving at Level 26.
This level was also where Star Light Lord resided.
Luo Feng temporarily stayed on Level 26. He and Star Light didn’t fight, leaving many of the Ancestors watching remotely rather disappointed.
……
Initial Land.
Yuan, Lord Jin, Wu Lan, Minghuang Lord, Naigu, Star Light Lord, and Momang Lord, the seven of them, met with Luo Feng together.
“Luo Feng.” Yuan smiled, “You need opponents now?”
“There’s no need to let the outside world know about sparring between us Lords.” Star Light smiled, “The seven of us will accompany you one by one.”
Lord Jin looked at Luo Feng: “I want to see which is more formidable, your Dao of Destruction or my Dao of Destruction!”
The Lords understood one another very well. They all knew Luo Feng had become a Lord through the Primordial Life-and-Death Path with ‘Life’ as its primary aspect! Therefore, Luo Feng’s second Primordial-Level Dao, the one with the lowest difficulty…… would inevitably be a path primarily focused on Destruction.
“Among the seven of us, I became a Lord the latest.” Momang Lord smiled, “I’ll go first!”
Luo Feng smiled: “Thank you, everyone. Then I won’t stand on ceremony!”
While venturing through the Abyss of Destruction, he hadn’t fought any Lord. But in truth, every Lord had mastered at least one Primordial-Level Dao, and they were the ones with the highest level of Combat Technique.
Thus……
Within the Initial Land, Luo Feng and the other seven Lords all maintained One-Tenth Energy Reserve and sparred one by one.
These confrontations allowed Luo Feng to experience the threats posed by one Primordial Dao after another! Perhaps in terms of Energy Reserves, the other Lords were far inferior to Luo Feng, but in their respective areas of expertise, the Lords were far stronger than Luo Feng.
These confrontations tested the ‘Primordial Blade Dao’ from different aspects.
Luo Feng’s understanding deepened, and he became incomparably clear on exactly what kind of ‘Primordial Blade Dao’ he wanted.
……
Level 26 of the Abyss of Destruction.
Luo Feng, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and saw Star Light Lord in the distance.
“If you wanted to, you should already be able to establish the Primordial Blade Dao, right?” Star Light Lord looked at Luo Feng.
“Yes, I can establish the Primordial Blade Dao at any time.”
Luo Feng nodded in acknowledgment.
During his battles with the seven Lords, he had already felt an incomparably intense urge to establish the ‘Primordial Blade Dao’.
“But I still have one battle left.” Luo Feng looked toward the deeper levels of the Abyss of Destruction, “Only after my battle with Shazhou ends will it be the most suitable time to establish the Primordial Blade Dao!”
Star Light smiled and nodded.
“I’m setting off.” Luo Feng said. With a single step, he had already headed toward Level 27.
Shazhou would be the final opponent of this training journey, and also the opponent who possessed the most terrifying destructive capability.
And at this moment, throughout the entire Infinite Chaotic Origin Space, the gazes of more than two hundred Ancestor-Level and Lord-Level existences pierced through space-time and looked over from afar. Not one of them was willing to miss this battle.
