Chapter 410: Volume Eleven: How Is This Possible?
Luo Feng wore a black robe with a Blood-Colored Robe draped over it as he sat cross-legged. Yet his aura had become completely different.
In the past, Luo Feng's aura had been heavy and boundless—heavier even than an entire Source World! Even those ancient Ancestors would develop headaches upon seeing him. They all knew that even dozens of Ancestors joining forces would struggle to wear down Luo Feng's body. His defensive capability ranked among the finest in the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space.
However, many Ancestors did not fear those with powerful defenses.
There were already thirty Undying and Indestructible existences! So what if someone's defenses were strong?
What the Ancestors truly feared were those with overwhelming killing power!
Luo Feng had possessed only one move, the Origin Great Destruction Explosion. It was merely a self-destructive technique that relied entirely on his enormous energy reserves, making every faction wary. But the Ancestors were not fools. After witnessing it once, they naturally took precautions against it.
"My Primordial Life-and-Death Path is ultimately centered on life. Although it contains some destructive methods, there is still a fundamental gap between them and a highest-level power," Luo Feng thought.
A highest-level power represented a qualitative transformation.
Take the Power of Blood from the Blood Crane Territory as an example. Compared to Luo Feng's Primordial Life-and-Death Path, it was inferior in every aspect.
But that comparison was against Luo Feng!
Compared with the countless Ancestors, its energy reserves, vitality, recovery ability, and every other aspect were already terrifying.
"This Power of Severance certainly has many shortcomings compared to the Primordial Blade Dao I seek."
"But it is still a highest-level destructive power."
"It has completely transformed my destructive capabilities."
A smile appeared on Luo Feng's face.
The Power of Severance alone was naturally somewhat inferior to Jin, Minghuang Lord, or Lord Momang.
But once the Primordial Life-and-Death Path and the Power of Severance were combined, everything became different.
"My lifeform is nearly a hundred times stronger than Jin's or Lord Momang's! The energy unleashed by any casual move of mine is already comparable to them burning their Main Battle Clone."
"So under the control of such terrifying energy, just how powerful will the Power of Severance become?"
Even Luo Feng himself could not determine just how powerful he had become.
An Ancestor who mastered two highest-level powers could generally rival a Lord.
If the combination was sufficiently perfect, supported by a Mysterious Land or enhanced through some extraordinary opportunity, they could even overpower a Lord.
The Ice Peak Ancestor, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, Kafuxiu, and Demon Ruins all belonged to this category.
"The Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the others combine two different kinds of highest-level powers."
"Meanwhile, I possess a Chaotic Origin-level Dao together with one highest-level power."
"I should be even stronger than they are."
Luo Feng possessed a vague understanding.
He was confident of surpassing every other opponent.
There were only two exceptions.
Star Light Lord.
And Shazhou.
Luo Feng had no confidence of surpassing either of them.
However, there was no doubt that after completely compensating for his shortcomings with a highest-level power of the path of destruction and combining it with the path of life, a qualitative transformation had naturally occurred.
Luo Feng's techniques were no longer merely overwhelming due to sheer quantity.
Now, in addition to possessing immense amounts of power, every single portion of that power had become incomparably profound, each carrying the mysteries of a highest-level destructive power.
"Hiss... hiss... hiss~~~"
Even Luo Feng's aura now carried traces of destructive intent.
"This still isn't my strongest state. Once I master the Primordial Blade Dao, I'll become even stronger than I am now."
Only after comprehending the Power of Severance did Luo Feng finally understand the greatest bottleneck preventing him from creating the complete Primordial Blade Dao.
"If I wish to comprehend the Primordial Blade Dao, my greatest obstacle should be my own heart," Luo Feng thought.
For every Lord, the path they excelled at most was always the one most compatible with their true heart.
As for a second path, its compatibility with one's heart naturally declined significantly.
Just as Luo Feng had studied the inheritance created by Jin, he greatly disliked the mental power contained within it.
Destroy heaven and earth.
Destroy everything merely for one's own strength?
Luo Feng could not accept such a belief.
"My heart must become sufficiently compatible with the path of destruction before I can create a Primordial Blade Dao centered upon destruction."
Luo Feng's heart was like a blade.
It could sever every obstacle.
After endless years of tempering, that blade-like heart had become ever sharper.
Yet that desire to sever everything was only barely enough for him to comprehend the highest-level Power of Severance.
It remained far from sufficient for creating the complete Primordial Blade Dao.
"My accumulation has gradually become sufficient, only for me to discover that my greatest weakness lies within my heart. Only when the heart and the Dao become one can a Dao truly be created."
Luo Feng contemplated.
"I'll continue accumulating."
"The more complete my accumulation becomes, the better."
Throughout his cultivation journey, Luo Feng had always followed this approach.
He prepared every aspect as thoroughly as possible.
Only then would the path ahead become easier.
Buzz~~~~
With a single thought from Luo Feng, the cave dwelling naturally disintegrated, its energy returning to this Destruction World.
"Brother Wu Lan, I'll continue exploring the next layer."
Luo Feng spoke.
"Congratulations, Brother Luo Feng."
When Luo Feng had just broken through, the invisible fluctuations had already alerted Wu Lan, the master of this Destruction World.
Wu Lan merely assumed Luo Feng had gained something from his cultivation.
He never imagined Luo Feng had created a second Dao.
Creating a second Chaotic Origin-level Dao was not merely a major event for Luo Feng.
It was a major event for the entire Cultivator Faction.
He would certainly have informed the other Lords if that had happened.
……
The Abyss of Destruction.
This Mysterious Land, bearing the very name "Destruction," was regarded as a sacred land in the hearts of countless Ancestors throughout the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space.
Holding a seat within the Eternal Land represented being Undying and Indestructible.
Occupying a layer within the Abyss of Destruction represented ranking among the thirty strongest beings!
One had to remember that renowned existences such as the Lord of Lotus Prison Mountain and the Primordial Beast Emperor occupied only the first five layers.
These two sacred lands each represented something different.
One represented survival capability.
The other represented combat strength!
"The Eighth Layer!"
Luo Feng broke through the barriers of space-time and entered the Eighth Layer of the Abyss of Destruction.
This Eighth Layer was filled with mist.
A towering black figure emerged from beneath the earth.
Its entire body was covered in black scales, and a single eye burned with crimson flames as it coldly stared at Luo Feng.
"Lord Luo Feng, have you come here to seize this Destruction World from me?"
"Ancestor Wugu."
Luo Feng looked at him.
This towering black figure was none other than Ancestor Wugu, one of the twelve Undying and Indestructible existences of the Ice Peak Faction, powerful enough to rank among its top five.
"I believe you've already sensed it. Since entering from the First Destruction World, I've gone progressively deeper, staying in every layer for some time."
Luo Feng said,
"I'm exploring the Abyss of Destruction to temper my cultivation. I won't seize this Destruction World from you."
"And you expect me to believe that?"
Ancestor Wugu said angrily.
"You Cultivator Lords have already seized it from me more than once!"
This was the Eighth Layer.
Lord Naigu occupied the Ninth Layer.
Minghuang Lord, Jin, and Lord Momang occupied the Eleventh through Thirteenth Layers respectively.
Ancestor Wugu belonged to the same era as Yuan.
Yet one Cultivator Lord after another had eventually surpassed him.
Every Cultivator Lord possessed techniques that gave Ancestor Wugu enormous headaches, making him appear clumsy and foolish by comparison.
"I can promise not to seize this Destruction World."
"I have only one request."
"Mobilize every World Envoy to attack me for one or two eras."
Luo Feng said.
"Help you cultivate?"
Ancestor Wugu gently shook his head.
"You really have wonderful dreams!"
Even if Luo Feng truly had no intention of seizing the layer, Ancestor Wugu still refused to cooperate.
Previously, when the Ice Peak Faction invaded the Cultivator Territory, Ancestor Wugu had seized the greatest amount of territory.
At that time, his true body had personally guarded those occupied lands.
Yet in the end, everything he had worked so hard to obtain had been forcibly returned.
Returning what he had personally taken?
Ancestor Wugu had been extremely dissatisfied.
After becoming Undying and Indestructible, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Only because the entire Ice Peak Faction had jointly made that decision had he been unable to oppose it.
But now...
"I'll never cooperate with you. Hurry up and get out. Go to the next layer instead."
Ancestor Wugu sneered.
"You refuse to cooperate?"
Luo Feng's expression turned cold.
"Then I'll have no choice but to force you."
"Force me? Hahaha..."
Ancestor Wugu sneered.
"If I'm unwilling, you won't even touch a single World Envoy!"
"Enough. Get out of my Destruction World!"
With a single thought, endless black clouds surged forth.
The boundless black clouds instantly engulfed Luo Feng.
Within those clouds, they were further empowered by the World Power of this Destruction World!
That World Power could either condense into several hundred World Envoys or be used to strengthen the user.
However, condensing World Envoys was the method that maximized combat strength.
After all, Ancestor Wugu was not skilled in the destructive power contained within this Destruction World.
"Get out!"
Ancestor Wugu already possessed combat power around the average level of a Lord.
Although his offensive ability was somewhat weaker, his domain techniques were exceptionally powerful.
His Life Core could merge into his own power and appear within any of his clones.
That was why he had dared to personally guard the occupied territory with his true body.
Now, with only a single thought, his Life Core instantly merged into this clone from an unimaginably distant location.
That clone immediately became his true body!
With an endless supply of power from the Destruction World, it instantly reached its strongest state.
Furthermore, enhanced by the World Power of the Destruction World, it became another thirty percent stronger than his normal true body!
Rumble~~~!
The endless black clouds crushed toward Luo Feng, attempting to force him out.
The black clouds were incomparably heavy.
Their oppressive pressure was terrifying.
"Get out—"
Ancestor Wugu was thoroughly disdainful.
Wanting him to help with cultivation?
This Cultivator Lord must be dreaming!
Suddenly—
A cold blade light flashed into existence!
That blade light instantly pierced through layer upon layer of black clouds and even struck Ancestor Wugu's body.
Ancestor Wugu felt an overwhelmingly terrifying force slash through his body.
His body seemed to cooperate completely, splitting apart of its own accord!
"My body split apart?"
Ancestor Wugu turned his head in shock and fury.
The blade light, carrying Luo Feng's figure, had already cleaved deep into the earth of this Destruction World, charging directly toward the core Source Phantom.
"Not good!"
Ancestor Wugu was both shocked and enraged.
His speed was nowhere near Luo Feng's current speed.
The World Power that had been augmenting his body immediately dispersed, rapidly forming all five hundred and fifty World Envoys.
"Stop him!"
Ancestor Wugu urgently issued the command with a single thought.
When these World Envoys joined forces, they were only slightly weaker than he was.
As long as they delayed Luo Feng for even a brief moment, he would be able to join forces with the entire group!
The five hundred and fifty World Envoys faithfully carried out the order, doing everything they could to stop him.
Whoosh!
The blade light condensed into a single streak and vanished in an instant.
More than three hundred World Envoys were directly severed into two with a single slash.
With almost no resistance whatsoever, the blade light reached the location of the Source Phantom.
Before Ancestor Wugu could even arrive, he already felt himself lose control over this Destruction World.
"Wugu, I no longer need your cooperation."
"Get out."
Luo Feng appeared upon the surface.
His Blood-Colored Robe fluttered as he coldly looked at him.
"How is this possible? This... this... this is impossible!"
Ancestor Wugu simply could not comprehend it.
Even with the enhancement of the World Power, he had been unable to stop Luo Feng for even a single instant?
During the war between the two great factions, Luo Feng had never displayed such terrifying strength!
