Chapter 407 : – Volume Eleven: The First Layer of the Abyss of Destruction
Chapter 407 – Volume Eleven: The First Layer of the Abyss of Destruction
The space-time of the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space was extremely mysterious. Its spatial structure was not layered like a "thousand-layer cake," but instead resembled a multidimensional spider web. Thus, the Initial Land was hidden within a certain region of space-time, and no other faction could find it.
"Whoosh."
The Power of Shadow was one of the highest-level powers capable of reflecting countless spaces. Using the mysteries of the Power of Shadow contained within the Blood Crane Territory, Luo Feng traveled along the spatial layers of the Power of Shadow. With every step, he crossed unimaginably vast distances through space-time.
Even so, he traveled without pause for fifty-five days before finally reaching the Abyss of Destruction.
The Abyss of Destruction was hidden deep within space-time, making it impossible for World-Level Primordial Lifeforms to perceive. However, anyone who reached the Ancestor-Level could follow their senses into the depths of space-time and arrive at the Abyss of Destruction.
"I've arrived."
With a single step, Luo Feng passed through multiple layers of space-time and arrived near the Abyss of Destruction.
The outermost layer of the Abyss of Destruction itself already lay in the deepest reaches of space-time.
Each successive layer penetrated even deeper. Even Star Light Lord was unable to perceive where the very bottom of the Abyss of Destruction lay.
"A Mysterious Land of the highest level."
The moment Luo Feng saw it, he felt that it was absolutely unshakable. The Abyss of Destruction seemed like the very embodiment of the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space itself. The oppressive force it emitted even surpassed that of the Eternal Land.
Compared to it, the Blood Crane Territory was far inferior.
Though both were Mysterious Lands, the difference between them was like heaven and earth.
"I'll go to the first layer first."
Taking another step, Luo Feng broke through numerous spatial barriers and forcibly entered the First Layer of the Abyss of Destruction.
……
The First Layer of the Abyss of Destruction was occupied by an Ancestor named Bafayu. Being able to occupy an entire Destruction World placed him among the top thirty existences in the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space.
Nine enormous beast figures prostrated themselves respectfully.
"Ancestor."
"I brought you to the Abyss of Destruction so that you could experience, familiarize yourselves with, and comprehend the Power of Destruction. If you can take another step forward and master this Power of Destruction... then you will step into the Ancestor-Level."
The gigantic eight-hoofed figure possessed sixteen eyes of different colors, all watching the members of his clan.
"Our Bafayu Clan has only two Ancestors even now. We are far too weak."
As Bafayu spoke, the nine World-Level Primordial Lifeforms were equally eager.
They all longed to take another step forward.
"I'll arrange for the World Envoys of the First Layer of the Abyss of Destruction to spar with you. The World Envoys will ensure they do not kill you."
Bafayu's sixteen eyes swept across his clansmen.
"Go. Properly experience this Power of Destruction."
"Yes."
The nine World-Level Primordial Lifeforms respectfully withdrew.
Bafayu immediately arranged for a World Envoy to spar with his clansmen.
Suddenly, Bafayu sensed something—
"Hm?"
He looked toward the outside world.
A black-haired man wearing a Blood-Colored Robe was forcibly tearing through space and entering the First Layer of the Abyss of Destruction.
"It's the Cultivator Lord, Luo Feng?"
Naturally, Bafayu recognized him. His sixteen eyes rotated as he became rather vigilant.
He was not afraid.
Every Ancestor possessed a highest-level power. Their Life Cores had evolved to an extremely high level, making their vitality terrifyingly powerful.
When the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction and the Cultivator Faction had gone to war, before Luo Feng's breakthrough, Momang, Jin, Minghuang Lord, and the others had not dared to burn their Main Battle Clones. They had relied upon countless accumulated attacks over long periods of time to slowly wear down and kill their enemies.
Even after Luo Feng joined the war, it still required several experts working together while Momang and the others burned their Main Battle Clones to unleash their strongest forbidden techniques in order to kill a single Ancestor.
That was still with Yuan and Star Light Lord assisting them.
Without Yuan and Star Light Lord, those Ancestors possessed countless methods of escape.
Star Light Lord suppressed all space-time.
Yuan enveloped the surrounding vast region with the operation of its laws, restricting and suppressing every form of power.
Only with those two working together, Luo Feng supplying energy, and Momang and the others using the forbidden techniques of their burning Main Battle Clones, while catching the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction completely off guard, had they managed to kill several Ancestors.
In a genuine one-on-one battle, the Ancestors had plenty of methods to survive.
Within the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space, at the level of Ancestors and Cultivator Lords, there had never been a one-on-one kill.
Only by several experts joining forces to eliminate every possible chance of survival could they hope to kill one.
Bafayu himself ranked among the top thirty existences in the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space.
He had joined no faction.
That alone showed his absolute confidence in dealing with danger.
Within the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space, the so-called "weaker factions" were only weak compared to the Three Major Faction Camps. In reality, they were all quite formidable and possessed their own powerful foundations.
The weakest Ancestors, those lacking confidence in surviving crises, had generally long ago joined either the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction or the Ice Peak Faction.
"Lord Luo Feng."
Bafayu's voice rumbled like thunder.
Luo Feng had already entered the First Destruction World.
This world was incomparably vast, several times larger than a Source World.
It also contained a destructive force capable of tearing everything apart.
That destructive force permeated every part of the world.
However, because the First Layer already had its master, Bafayu, the hidden destructive force had not erupted.
"Bafayu."
Luo Feng looked at him with a single glance.
Bafayu wielded the highest-level power known as Multidimensional Divine Light. It possessed formidable destructive power. He excelled at imprisoning and restraining enemies with sixteen-colored Multidimensional Divine Light and was also exceptionally skilled at escaping.
His escape ability even surpassed that of the Shadow Lord of the Blood Crane Territory.
Compared to Luo Feng, who could only borrow part of the Power of Shadow, his escape ability was far superior.
"Have you come to occupy my First Destruction World?"
Bafayu looked at Luo Feng solemnly.
"If you want it, I can give it to you."
He knew his own limits.
Even the combined resistance of the three Lords of the Blood Crane Territory had failed to stop Luo Feng, who had forcibly broken through and ultimately refined the Blood Crane Territory.
His own resistance alone would likewise be crushed.
Luo Feng would certainly be able to leave his Life Imprint upon the Source Phantom of the First Destruction World.
"Don't worry. I won't occupy the First Destruction World."
Luo Feng said,
"However, I'd like you to mobilize every World Envoy to attack me together. I want to experience the power of this layer of the Destruction World."
"Very well."
Bafayu smiled, his whiskers even curling upward.
Everything had happened exactly as he had expected.
Among the previous seven Cultivator Lords, every one who had mastered a Primordial Dao was extraordinarily powerful.
Even Wu Lan, whose techniques were somewhat clumsy, occupied the Seventh Destruction World.
How could Luo Feng possibly be interested in the First Layer?
Lord Luo Feng might not care.
But Bafayu certainly did.
"Lord Luo Feng, I'll mobilize every World Envoy to besiege you. Please be careful."
Luo Feng stood in midair and nodded slightly.
"Thank you."
……
Not far from Bafayu, the nine World-Level Primordial Lifeforms had just been thoroughly battered while sparring against a World Envoy.
Then they noticed Lord Luo Feng's arrival.
"The First Destruction World can mobilize three thousand World Envoys. Every one of them is Undying and Indestructible. Lord Luo Feng, you'd better be careful."
As soon as Bafayu finished speaking, every World Envoy—including the one sparring with the nine World-Level Primordial Lifeforms—charged toward Luo Feng.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
An overwhelming army of three thousand World Envoys appeared and besieged Luo Feng.
The scene caused the nine World-Level Primordial Lifeforms to tremble inwardly.
"One of the Eight Cultivator Lords... Lord Luo Feng?"
"Ancestor Bafayu is treating Lord Luo Feng with such courtesy. He was even willing to voluntarily surrender the First Destruction World?"
"I've heard every one of the Eight Cultivator Lords is terrifyingly powerful."
The nine World-Level Primordial Lifeforms watched curiously.
Then they saw it.
Faced with the overwhelming siege of three thousand World Envoys, Luo Feng stood like an immovable mountain, enduring every attack head-on.
The Blood-Colored Robe he wore fluttered in the wind as it blocked every attack.
A casual counterattack from him was enough to reduce ten or more World Envoys to nothingness.
……
Standing in midair with the Void-Splitting Blade in hand, Luo Feng swung his blade.
A blade of light swept across the battlefield, instantly killing several World Envoys.
The annihilated World Envoys immediately condensed back into existence from nothingness.
The World Envoys were embodiments formed from the power of each Destruction World.
They were Undying and Indestructible.
Although individually weak and containing only incomplete fragments of the Power of Destruction, the combined strength of all three thousand remained terrifying.
The so-called act of "cutting through a Destruction World" meant overcoming every World Envoy before forcibly leaving one's imprint upon that world's Source Phantom.
To overcome the three thousand World Envoys of the First Destruction World required strength comparable to Bafayu's.
Even Star Light Lord was unable to overcome every World Envoy of the Twenty-Eighth Destruction World.
"Slash."
One World Envoy instantly transformed into a streak of light.
The streak slashed across Luo Feng's Blood-Colored Robe.
A Protective Energy Layer flowed across its surface.
Although a crack appeared, it still failed to inflict the slightest damage.
"Kill!"
Another World Envoy instantly disappeared.
A streak of light erupted directly inside Luo Feng's body.
His body, strengthened by the Power of the Blood Sea, was incomparably tougher than before and completely withstood the attack.
The three thousand World Envoys attacked in endlessly mysterious ways.
From every direction.
Even from inside Luo Feng's own body.
"These World Envoys can wield only a small portion of the First Destruction World's power. Yet when all of them are combined, they almost reveal the complete picture of that power."
Luo Feng carefully experienced it.
The combined methods of the three thousand World Envoys could be described as the Power of Severance.
Or the Power of Cleaving.
This highest-level destructive power could sever everything.
"A destructive power that severs everything?"
Luo Feng carefully experienced it.
He even dismissed his Blood-Colored Robe with a thought, allowing his physical body to experience the attacks of the World Envoys in even greater detail.
Within the Abyss of Destruction, every Destruction World contained a single highest-level destructive power.
Furthermore, every weapon born there also contained a highest-level destructive power.
"Slash—nothing is beyond cutting."
Luo Feng experienced the attacks striking his body.
The body nurtured by the Primordial Life-and-Death Path remained extraordinarily resilient.
Even after withdrawing the enhancement of the Power of the Blood Sea, only superficial wounds appeared upon its surface.
"Cleave—life itself naturally splits apart."
A World Envoy transformed into a black ray of light that appeared inside Luo Feng's body.
Before the black light even touched his flesh, his flesh had already begun naturally splitting apart.
Luo Feng carefully experienced every form of damage.
All of them were powers centered upon destruction while integrating various other profound mysteries.
Within the Abyss of Destruction, every form of destructive power contained at least eighty percent destruction.
The remaining portion could contain profound mysteries from the Paths of Life, Matter, Infinity, Flame, Space, and many others.
"This is far richer than my previous understanding. The so-called Power of Severance isn't merely cutting something into two. It also includes the severing of life itself and the natural fracturing of all things."
A smile appeared on Luo Feng's face.
"The Power of Severance consists of eighty percent destruction and twenty percent life. It is the most basic form of destructive power contained within the Abyss of Destruction."
Luo Feng carefully contemplated it.
Because his accumulation was already profound, he vaguely sensed,
"With enough time, I should be able to master this Power of Severance."
His Primordial Blade Dao already possessed a complete prototype.
Creating an entirely new Dao was exceedingly difficult.
However, mastering one specific power corresponding to that Dao was much easier.
Within the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space, mastering different manifestations of the same type of power was still recognized as mastering a highest-level power.
For example, once a Cultivator Lord mastered a Primordial Dao, they could easily master several highest-level powers belonging to that Dao if they wished.
However, multiple powers originating from the same Dao brought no increase in overall strength.
Different kinds of highest-level powers offered far greater benefits.
For example, Star Light Lord had mastered two Primordial Daos.
One focused primarily on space.
The other focused primarily on time.
Only such fundamentally different Daos produced a qualitative transformation. Time combined with space created an entirely different level of power.
What Luo Feng pursued, however, were life and destruction.
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor had mastered the two highest-level powers of Infinity and Space, while also receiving the support of the Mysterious Land known as the Infinite World.
"Once I master the highest-level destructive power—the Power of Severance—it will certainly provide tremendous assistance in allowing me to fully comprehend the Primordial Blade Dao."
Luo Feng felt that the difficulty was not high.
At the very least, it was much easier than overcoming the bottleneck of the Primordial Blade Dao itself.
Thus, he immediately immersed himself in comprehending it.
