Chapter 412 : Volume Eleven: Attention
Chapter 412: Volume Eleven: Attention
The Tenth Layer of the Abyss of Destruction was now occupied by Lord Naigu.
The dark-cyan-skinned Lord Naigu looked up at Luo Feng's arrival and smiled. “Luo Feng, I've been waiting for you.”
“Naigu, you've already reached the Tenth Layer?” Luo Feng replied casually. As he descended layer by layer through the Abyss of Destruction, experiencing its various destructive powers, only the layers occupied by the Cultivator Lords were relatively easy.
“It's all thanks to Endless Ancestor. After he seized the Eighteenth Layer from Kafuxiu, the resulting turmoil naturally allowed the rest of us to advance a little.” Lord Naigu sighed. “The Abyss of Destruction only changes once in a very long time.”
Luo Feng nodded in agreement.
The occupiers had the assistance of the World Envoys, so only those with overwhelming strength, like Luo Feng or Endless Ancestor, could alter the rankings!
“I carefully sensed the Abyss of Destruction. Mogusi has disappeared?” Luo Feng asked.
“After Kafuxiu lost the Eighteenth Layer, he went after the heavily weakened Mogusi. Mogusi had been hunted by Star Light Lord, leaving him with less than ten percent of his Lifeform remaining! Naturally, he couldn't stop Kafuxiu. With his strength so depleted, Mogusi is temporarily no longer qualified to compete for any layer,” Naigu said with a smile.
Luo Feng was pleased to hear that.
The entire Cultivator Faction viewed Mogusi as an enemy. Yet throughout the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space, Mogusi, who specialized in the highest-level Soul Power, had only one true nemesis—Star Light Lord. Other factions generally had no wish to offend him.
Mogusi cared nothing for other resources. He cared only about the souls of the weak! Those factions naturally tolerated him.
Moreover, Mogusi was Undying and Indestructible, ranked among the top ten in strength, approaching the level of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, Ice Peak Ancestor, and Yuan, while having no attachments whatsoever... How many dared provoke him?
Even after his strength had been greatly reduced, very few dared compete for his Destruction World, fearing his revenge after he recovered. Only the equally solitary Kafuxiu dared to seize Mogusi's territory by force.
“Mogusi is terrifying,” Naigu sighed. “He possesses the highest-level Soul Power. In the past, no Ancestor or Lord could threaten him. Our Cultivator Faction also suffered endlessly because of him. During the darkest period, more than one-tenth of the Cultivator Faction's Source Worlds were infiltrated by his power, and countless souls were devoured.”
Luo Feng fell silent, his heart weighed down.
The souls of the inhabitants of more than one-tenth of the faction's Source Worlds had been devoured. No Lord could possibly tolerate such a thing.
“Even Star Light Lord finds it difficult to hunt him down. He has to search throughout space-time for traces of him before pursuing him. At best, he can only weaken him temporarily. Mogusi always returns,” Naigu said.
Luo Feng was equally powerless.
The highest-level Soul Power!
Its power could hide within any Lifeform below the Ancestor level! What could Luo Feng possibly do? The sheer immensity of the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space and the countless living beings within it rendered him completely helpless.
“If our Cultivator Faction could produce a Lord who mastered the Soul Dao, perhaps someone could restrain him,” Naigu mused.
“That's far too difficult. Up until now, not even a single God King at the Ultimate Realm has been born on the Soul Path,” Luo Feng shook his head. “The complete Soul Dao doesn't even exist among the Great Daos contained within the Source World Origin. There is nothing that can be directly referenced.”
Throughout history, there had been ninety-three Half-Chaotic Origin cultivators who followed Fusion Daos, yet not a single God King at the Ultimate Realm had followed the Soul Dao! Even a God King Ultimate Realm on the Soul Dao remained unimaginably far from the Chaotic Origin-level Soul Dao.
“Naigu, I'll have to trouble you to arrange for all the World Envoys to besiege me again. It will aid my cultivation,” Luo Feng said.
“Certainly.”
With a single thought, Naigu immediately mobilized the World Envoys to surround and attack Luo Feng.
Although, like Jin, he had once been a Calamity-type Cultivator, Naigu still eagerly sought to befriend Luo Feng. He knew that Luo Feng, who had achieved Force Breaking All Techniques, might become his greatest hope of obtaining an Ancestor Bloodline in the future.
Whoever could help him obtain an Ancestor Bloodline was someone Naigu would become close to!
Jin, on the other hand, was far prouder.
Their respective paths actually reflected their personalities. One followed the Primordial Bloodline Path, striving to embrace every Ancestor Bloodline. The other followed the Primordial Destruction Path, with an overwhelmingly destructive heart.
……
The Eleventh Layer of the Abyss of Destruction was occupied by Ancestor Pucheng, the third strongest member of the Ice Peak Faction. Ancestor Pucheng was small in stature but extremely strong-willed! In terms of direct combat, he was roughly equal to Lord Momang, Jin, and Minghuang Lord. Combined with his exceptionally powerful body, his overall strength was even slightly greater.
Among the twelve Undying and Indestructible beings of the Ice Peak Faction, Ancestor Pucheng also had the worst relationship with Ice Peak Ancestor.
“Lord Luo Feng, my Pucheng Clan has always maintained good relations with the Cultivator Faction. Yuan is also a close friend of mine.” Ancestor Pucheng was exceptionally courteous toward Luo Feng. “You are welcome to visit my clan's territory at any time.”
“Thank you, Ancestor Pucheng.” Luo Feng also knew that among the twelve beings of the Ice Peak Faction, Ancestor Pucheng and Xiu Saiwei had the best relationship with the Cultivator Faction. Both shared a profound friendship with Yuan.
Xiu Saiwei's achievement of becoming Undying and Indestructible had even been connected to Yuan! That debt of gratitude had forged an extraordinary relationship between them.
Ancestor Pucheng maintained good relations with the Cultivator Faction primarily because the Pucheng Clan and the Ice Peak Clan were fierce rivals. As the two strongest clans within the Ice Peak Faction, they constantly fought over resources.
“You need the World Envoys to besiege you?” Ancestor Pucheng smiled. He had observed Luo Feng several times and knew that Luo Feng remained in each Destruction World for one or two eras while enduring the attacks of its World Envoys.
“One or two eras will be enough. Thank you for the trouble,” Luo Feng said.
Ancestor Pucheng nodded and, with a single thought, dispatched the World Envoys.
……
The Twelfth through Fourteenth Layers of the Abyss of Destruction were occupied respectively by Minghuang Lord, Jin, and Lord Momang. Since they all belonged to the Cultivator Faction, they naturally cooperated.
“You'll have to be careful from here onward. Starting from the Fifteenth Layer, you'll probably be fighting continuously,” Lord Momang said.
Luo Feng nodded. “I know.”
Instead, Luo Feng's eyes burned with fighting spirit. The deeper he went, the more terrifying the opponents would become! Ever since becoming a Lord, every truly exciting battle had become exceptionally precious to Luo Feng, who loved combat.
“I'll treasure every opponent.”
Luo Feng's eyes blazed with anticipation.
Whoosh—
Luo Feng crossed through space-time and entered an even deeper layer of the Abyss of Destruction.
The Fifteenth Layer of the Abyss of Destruction was shrouded in endless darkness. Occupying this place was Annihilation Ancestor, one of the three strongest members of the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction.
“Luo Feng?”
A massive sphere of black light condensed into existence. Within the black light was a vague figure that resembled both a humanoid and a bird.
“Annihilation Ancestor.”
Luo Feng looked at him.
“I've observed your journey through the Abyss of Destruction. Rather than carefully exploring it, you seem to want the World Envoys of each layer to besiege you?” Annihilation Ancestor said.
Exploration?
What Luo Feng cared about most was the destructive power contained within each layer. As for exploration, he knew very well that the deeper layers contained the greater opportunities. There was no need to waste time exploring the shallower Destruction Worlds.
“Annihilation Ancestor, would you allow all the World Envoys to besiege me?” Luo Feng asked.
“My true body isn't here.” Annihilation Ancestor's voice echoed throughout the entire world. “Yet you're a Cultivator Lord, and you still expect me to help you? What a joke!”
Luo Feng smiled and nodded. “Then I'll have no choice but to force you to cooperate.”
“Go ahead and try.” Annihilation Ancestor was full of confidence. “Even without my true body here, there's nothing you can do to me.”
“Oh.”
Luo Feng extended his hand, and the Void-Splitting Blade appeared within it. Although he had traversed so many layers of the Abyss of Destruction and obtained six Destruction Weapons during his battles with the World Envoys, they were all on the same level as the Void-Splitting Blade. None were particularly special.
“Hmph.”
With a single thought from Annihilation Ancestor, two hundred and sixty purple birds instantly appeared.
Each of these purple birds was covered in densely packed purple scales, every scale engraved with countless secret patterns. Every one of them resembled a weapon while borrowing part of the highest-level destructive power, making them terrifyingly formidable.
At the same time, Annihilation Ancestor instantly divided himself, splitting his black light and descending upon every bird.
Ordinary Ancestors either enhanced themselves with the Destruction World's power or condensed the Destruction World's power into a group of World Envoys. However, since Annihilation Ancestor's true body wasn't here, he instead used his own power to enhance the World Envoys.
Annihilation Ancestor specialized in the Power of Darkness and the Power of Death. The combination of these two highest-level powers was known as the Power of Annihilation. This power could target both the physical body and the soul, making it extraordinarily dangerous.
Despite not having reached the Undying and Indestructible realm, he still ranked among the top three of the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction, demonstrating just how extraordinary his power truly was.
“Kill—”
The 260 World Envoy birds, each carrying the Power of Annihilation, fearlessly charged toward Luo Feng.
Together, these World Envoys already possessed eighty to ninety percent of Annihilation Ancestor's strength. Now, enhanced by the Power of Annihilation, they had become slightly stronger than Annihilation Ancestor's complete true body.
Thud! Thud!
Two birds tore through space with their claws and struck the surface of Luo Feng's Blood-Colored Robe, creating ripples.
Luo Feng experienced the damage from their attacks while casually counterattacking. His blade light swept around him like threads of silk, effortlessly slicing through dozens of purple birds. This immediately changed the expression of the Annihilation Ancestor whose power was enhancing the birds.
“Even with my enhancement, these World Envoys are this fragile before him?” Annihilation Ancestor found it unbelievable.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Luo Feng did not use his full strength. While experiencing the mysteries of the destructive power contained within the attacks against him, he casually swung his blade in response, causing large numbers of birds to fall.
“These World Envoys, enhanced by my power, are now slightly stronger than even my true body. Yet before Luo Feng, they have absolutely no ability to resist?”
Annihilation Ancestor felt a chill in his heart.
The blade light appeared restrained, yet in truth it was unstoppable, capable of severing everything.
Anything it touched—
Was cut cleanly in two!
Looking at the dozen or so scattered purple birds still flying around, Luo Feng frowned and said, “Annihilation Ancestor, please arrange for all the World Envoys to attack me with their full strength. I need them to continue doing so for one or two eras! If you refuse to cooperate, then I'll have no choice but to forcibly seize this layer of the Destruction World.”
Luo Feng had no interest in controlling this layer.
“I have no ability to stop you. Naturally, I'll cooperate,” Annihilation Ancestor replied.
At that moment, Annihilation Ancestor felt that this Cultivator Lord Luo Feng actually had a very good temperament! Despite possessing such overwhelming strength, he had not seized this layer of the Destruction World.
He withdrew his enhancement from the World Envoys and, with a single thought, ordered them to attack Luo Feng with all their might! Whenever a World Envoy died, its power immediately condensed into a new World Envoy, ensuring an endless assault.
Luo Feng immersed himself completely in cultivation, paying no further attention to Annihilation Ancestor.
“So now... Luo Feng doesn't even think much of me anymore.”
Annihilation Ancestor's feelings were complicated. He was one of the top three experts of the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction. Those who occupied deeper layers of the Abyss of Destruction than he did were all universally acknowledged top-ten existences.
“What? Annihilation Ancestor was defeated so easily before Lord Luo Feng?”
“Even if it wasn't his true body, with the World Envoys fighting alongside him, he shouldn't have been so fragile.”
Quite a number of powerful beings witnessed the battle between Luo Feng and Annihilation Ancestor.
The Cultivator Lords, Ancestor Liuyue, Ancestor Wugu, and many other Ancestors all observed it. After all, this was already the Fifteenth Layer of the Abyss of Destruction. A clash between two powerful beings at such a deep level naturally attracted attention.
“Lord Luo Feng is stronger than he was during the war between the two factions!”
“Annihilation Ancestor wasn't using his true body! His strength was limited. Starting from the Sixteenth Layer, everything will be completely different. From the Sixteenth Layer onward... every occupant ranks among the top ten, and every one of them is using their true body.”
“With a true body fighting alongside the World Envoys, victory is impossible unless the difference in strength is overwhelming—or unless one completely counters the other.”
Many Ancestors watched the battle, eagerly anticipating the even greater conflicts that would follow.
The seven other Lords of the Cultivator Faction also noticed the increase in Luo Feng's strength.
“Luo Feng, have you comprehended your second Chaotic Origin Dao?” Yuan asked excitedly through voice transmission.
“Not yet! I've only comprehended one type of destructive power,” Luo Feng replied.
Even so, Yuan was overjoyed.
When two different highest-level powers were perfectly combined, they already produced tremendous combat strength.
Luo Feng, however, possessed one Chaotic Origin-level Dao combined with one type of destructive power. His foundation was vastly more profound! Moreover, one represented life while the other represented destruction. The combination was perfectly suited for battle.
More and more attention was now focused upon Luo Feng.
“Luo Feng?”
Within the Sixteenth Layer of the Abyss of Destruction, the current occupant was Kafuxiu.
Wearing his white battle armor, Kafuxiu looked through space-time toward Luo Feng cultivating in the Fifteenth Layer. His eyes burned with unprecedented excitement! Kafuxiu wandered alone and was undoubtedly one of the most battle-crazed beings in the entire Infinite Chaotic Origin Space. Battle itself was the greatest enjoyment of his endless life!
A truly exhilarating battle was what Kafuxiu had always dreamed of!
“Luo Feng, my Sixteenth Layer won't be so easy to pass!”
Kafuxiu was already eagerly anticipating the battle that was about to begin.
