Chapter 434 : Volume Twelve The Seven Parts of the Abyss of Destruction
Chapter 434: Volume Twelve The Seven Parts of the Abyss of Destruction
“The deepest level?” Luo Feng smiled.
Even he felt quite a sense of accomplishment upon reaching the deepest level, ‘Level 34’. After all, this was the Abyss of Destruction, one of the Three Poles of the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space. Among the many Ancestors and Lords, he was the first to reach this place.
“You are the World Envoy of this deepest-level Destruction World?” Luo Feng wasn’t in a hurry to attack and instead asked curiously.
It was rare to encounter a World Envoy capable of communication, and Luo Feng very much wanted to learn some secrets of the Abyss of Destruction from the other party.
“Yes.” the hooded figure said with a smile.
“The World Envoys of the previous 33 levels seemed to possess little intelligence.” Luo Feng said. Those World Envoys had acted more on instinct.
“They aren’t qualified to compare with me.” the hooded figure said, “As for developing intelligence, whether Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Lifeforms or you Source World Lifeforms, all possess intelligence. As an existence nurtured by the Abyss of Destruction, isn’t it perfectly normal for me to possess intelligence as well?”
“You know I’m a Source World Lifeform?” Luo Feng was surprised.
“The Abyss of Destruction gathers the hatred, killing intent, resentment, and so forth of all living beings. Through this, it can naturally observe the ecology of the entire Infinite Chaotic Origin Space.” the hooded figure said, “Although I cannot take even half a step outside the Abyss of Destruction, what I know may be even more than what you know.”
“The Eternal Land and the Wall of Fire Prison are on the same level as the Abyss of Destruction. Do they also contain intelligent existences?” Luo Feng asked.
“Perhaps.” the hooded figure said.
Luo Feng understood this as well. The Ancestors and Lords knew very little about those two places and hadn’t even seen their cores. Even if intelligent existences had been nurtured there, the threshold for encountering them was probably extremely high.
“You may attack me now.” the hooded figure said, “I am different from the World Envoys of the previous 33 levels. Once you defeat me, you will completely take control of the ‘Destruction World’.”
“Take control of the Destruction World?” Luo Feng’s heart stirred.
Previously, when he entered the hidden place Destruction Mountain, he had learned that ‘by passing the seven trials, one could take control of the Abyss of Destruction’.
Yet now, this World Envoy was saying that defeating it would allow him to take control of the Destruction World.
“What is the difference between taking control of the Destruction World and taking control of the Abyss of Destruction?” Luo Feng asked.
“The Abyss of Destruction is divided into seven parts in total.” the hooded figure said, “The Destruction World has the lowest threshold. It can be entered directly, and by delving deeper level by level, as long as you fight through all 34 levels of the Destruction World, you can take control of the ‘Destruction World’. The power of the Destruction World is approximately one-seventh of the Abyss of Destruction.”
“What about the other six parts?” Luo Feng was curious.
“They all have thresholds for exploration.” the hooded figure said, “For example, the ‘Destruction Mountain’ you entered is the very core of the Abyss of Destruction. That mountain itself contains three portions of power. If you can pass the ‘sixth trial’ of the seven trials, you can also obtain one portion of power. As for the others? You haven’t come into contact with them, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to tell you.”
Luo Feng was secretly startled.
The Destruction World was one portion of power, Destruction Mountain secretly contained three portions of power, and passing the sixth trial could also grant one portion of power. That made five portions of power. There were clearly another two portions of power that he had yet to come into contact with.
“The seven portions of power may have different controllers.” the hooded figure said, “But once some great existence passes the seven trials, they will completely control the entire Abyss of Destruction. Your powers will also be completely stripped away.”
Luo Feng understood. They were still competitors.
As long as no existence capable of controlling the Abyss of Destruction had emerged, several experts might separately control portions of its power.
“Of course, speaking of this is still far too early. To this day, not even someone who controls a single portion of power has appeared.” the hooded figure said.
“All right, you now know what you should know.” the hooded figure slightly raised its head, “Take my move.”
Whoosh——
Its towering figure instantly transformed into endless black mist. The dense black mist easily annihilated Luo Feng’s Life-and-Death Domain and completely enveloped Luo Feng as well.
Whether it was Luo Feng’s Life-and-Death Domain enveloping the area or this World Envoy’s black mist power enveloping it! No lifeform in the outside world could observe Level 34.
“Such powerful pressure!” Luo Feng’s Protective Energy Layer also contained the characteristics of ‘Undying and Shadow’, yet he still felt the black mist exerting extremely powerful pressure. And under such suppression, even the Power of the Blood Crane Territory couldn’t spread outward, making it impossible to move using the Power of Shadow.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!!
Luo Feng attacked with his blade without hesitation.
In an instant, incomparably dazzling Blade Lights densely hacked forward! These Blade Lights coordinated with one another like surging waves rising and falling in succession, tearing through all obstruction from the black mist.
It was precisely one of Luo Feng’s Five Great Combat Techniques, 《Destruction Blade Technique》.
The Destruction Blade Technique didn’t care about locking onto the target. What it pursued was ultimate close-range destruction!
“Your Blade Technique has decent power.” an indifferent voice rang out as the black mist rapidly condensed into water. The black water was incomparably heavy as it crushed forward.
Even Luo Feng’s Blade Lights could only barely cut apart portions of the black water. As the black water flowed, it continuously pressed forward, and the layers upon layers of Blade Lights ultimately had no path except collapse.
“Just the Domain alone makes it impossible for me to advance even a single step?” Luo Feng frowned. Unless those Lords and Ancestors outside joined forces as a group, how could any of them possess such oppressive might?
“Sever!”
The 1.8 Billion Origins within Luo Feng’s body frantically burned energy. Even his physical body began partially transforming into energy. Endless energy erupted in an instant, and Luo Feng merged entirely with the Void-Splitting Blade, transforming into an incomparably condensed Blade Light.
Forbidden Technique of the 《Destruction Blade Technique》, ‘Severing in Two’!
‘Power of Severance’ was the first Power of Destruction Luo Feng had mastered, and his Mental Will was also exceptionally compatible with this path. Within the ‘Primordial Blade Dao’ he had created, Luo Feng naturally made use of his own advantage and created numerous blade moves centered around ‘severing’.
Without self-detonating, he instantly burned Three-Tenths Energy Reserve, transforming his entire being into an incomparably condensed Blade Light. This was already the utmost limit of Luo Feng’s energy control.
There was no other way. His energy reserves were simply too vast! If he burned even more energy reserves, then that enormous amount of energy……even Luo Feng, who had mastered the ‘Primordial Life-and-Death Path’ and ‘Primordial Blade Dao’, wasn’t confident he could condense the energy incomparably tightly without even the slightest leakage.
Such a condensed Blade Light carried the might to sever anything.
“Rip——”
A very gentle sound.
Wherever the Blade Light passed, the black water naturally split apart. This condensed Blade Light headed straight toward the location of the Source Phantom.
“That blade is impressive!” a voice of praise rang out.
Within the black water, a chain condensed into existence. The chain was tough and solid, blocking the Blade Light’s path.
“Puff.”
The Blade Light swept past and directly severed the chain.
This Forbidden Technique was originally meant for severing enemies. Luo Feng was now using it to cut through every obstacle, intending to rely on it to reach the location of the Source Phantom.
But within the black water, more and more chains condensed. Chains enveloped him one after another. Those severed chains voluntarily dissipated, while new chains condensed ahead of the Blade Light.
There were 34 chains in total, but they could gather and disperse unpredictably, condensing into existence anywhere within this level of the Destruction World.
After being severed, new chains would once again intercept Luo Feng from ahead.
These chains surrounded and intertwined with one another, continuously enveloping him.
Puff puff puff——
The terrifying Blade Light Luo Feng had transformed into finally weakened after consecutively severing the chains hundreds of times. The instant its momentum diminished, chains immediately enveloped it one after another. In the blink of an eye, Luo Feng’s true body was bound.
“Boom——”
A terrifying Great Explosion erupted, instantly annihilating the 34 chains binding him and even annihilating a small portion of the surrounding black water.
But the area annihilated by the explosion was far too small. With the continuous supply of power from the ‘Destruction World’, the black water immediately surged over once again, and 34 new chains condensed into existence once more.
“The Forbidden Technique of the 《Origin Combat Technique》 only blew apart such a small area?” Seeing this, Luo Feng’s body, condensed from his remaining power, could only seize the moment before the black water enveloped him, immediately take a step backward, traverse space-time, and return to Level 33.
With his strength greatly depleted, there was simply no way for him to continue fighting.
……
Level 33.
Luo Feng’s energy reserves had fallen to less than two-tenths and were recovering.
“The Domain combined with the chains……my other Combat Techniques, including the 《Origin Combat Technique》, can only annihilate a small area.” Luo Feng frowned, “Only by transforming myself into Blade Light and using a Forbidden Technique can I sever the chains hundreds of times and fly a certain distance.”
This was the method that allowed him to travel the farthest.
“But once the move weakens, I’ll immediately be bound.”
“What should I do?”
He was still very far from the Source Phantom, yet it was already this difficult. According to his experience, the closer he got to the Source Phantom, the more frenzied the World Envoy would become.
“The Domain and chains should only be part of this World Envoy’s methods.” Luo Feng understood the profound mysteries of the Power of Destruction on this deepest level, so he could infer some of this World Envoy’s methods.
If the Darkness Envoy and Flame Envoy on Level 33 were each comparable to him, then the sole World Envoy on Level 34 comprehensively suppressed him in every aspect.
“The gap is rather large.” Luo Feng pondered for a moment. The seemingly simple combination of the Black Water Domain and chains left Luo Feng completely unable to think of any way to overcome it.
“I’ll go take a look at Destruction Mountain.”
……
The hidden location within the Abyss of Destruction, ‘Destruction Mountain’.
Whoosh.
Luo Feng arrived at Destruction Mountain once again.
Looking at the enormous mountain before him, Destruction Mountain was completely pitch-black, with ink-like black mist covering its surface. Thirty-four clusters of light resembled stars, their radiance linking together like the meridians of Destruction Mountain.
“That World Envoy said that Destruction Mountain contains three portions of power.”
“But judging from the surface, it nurtures numerous weapons and even nurtures things such as Destruction Fruits. It also possesses thirty-four types of Power of Destruction and secretly contains countless Negative Emotions.” Luo Feng looked on.
“The meridian diagram outlined by these 34 types of Power of Destruction is the Life Core evolution direction of the Destruction Path.” Luo Feng’s heart stirred, “Perhaps if the Life Core evolves along this direction and reaches a certain degree, I can come into contact with the method for obtaining ‘one portion of power’.”
Among the seven portions of power of the Abyss of Destruction, perhaps the portion belonging to the ‘Destruction World’ was the easiest to come into contact with. After all, any Ancestor or Lord could enter the outermost Destruction World.
Luo Feng carefully observed, touched, and studied the surroundings of Destruction Mountain.
The only entrance to the ‘mountain path’ leading up the mountain was blocked by seven statues. Without challenging the seven statues, there was simply no way to ascend the mountain.
