Chapter 409

Luo Feng, dressed in black with a bloody robe draped over him, sat cross-legged, but his aura was completely different.

In the past, Luo Feng's aura was immense and profound, even more so than a primordial world. Even the most ancient Ancestors would get a headache seeing it, knowing that dozens of them attacking simultaneously could barely wear down Luo Feng's body. He was one of the foremost defensive existences in the boundless Chaosverse.

However, many Ancestors were not afraid of those with strong defensive capabilities. There were already 30 immortal beings; what was so great about strong defense? What Ancestors truly feared were those powerful in destructive force.

Luo Feng only had one move, the 'Great Destruction of Origin,' which made everyone wary purely because he could store enough self-detonating attacks. However, the Ancestors were not foolish; after experiencing it once, they would naturally guard against it.

"My 'Chaos Origin Life-Death Dao' is, after all, primarily focused on life. While it has some destructive aspects, there's still a fundamental gap compared to 'peak-level power,'" Luo Feng thought.

Peak-level power represents a qualitative leap. For instance, the Blood Crane Lord's 'Blood Force,' compared to Luo Feng's Chaos Origin Life-Death Dao, was inferior in every aspect. But that was in comparison to Luo Feng! Compared to many other Ancestors, its energy reserves, vitality, and recovery capabilities were already terrifying in every respect!

"'The Power of Severance,' compared to the Chaos Origin Blade Dao I seek, certainly has many shortcomings. But it is, after all, peak-level destructive power. It allows for a complete qualitative leap in my destructive capabilities,'" Luo Feng said with a smile.

By itself, 'The Power of Severance' was naturally inferior to Jin, Ming Huang, or Morman. But when combined with the Chaos Origin Life-Death Dao, it was a different story.

"My life form is nearly a hundred times stronger than Jin's or Morman's! The energy unleashed by any of my casual attacks can rival them burning their main combat avatars. What level of power can 'The Power of Severance' reach when wielded with such terrifying energy?" Luo Feng couldn't even be certain how strong he truly was now.

An Ancestor who mastered two types of peak-level power could generally rival a Lord.

If they combined them perfectly, with the blessings of mysterious lands and some special opportunities, they could even overpower a Lord. Ancestors like "Ice Peak Ancestor," "Infinite Snake Ancestor," "Kafushiu," and "Demonic Ruin" all belonged to this category.

"The Infinite Snake Ancestor and others combined two different types of peak-level power. But I have a Chaos Origin level Dao and one type of peak-level power! I should be even stronger than them!" Luo Feng had a vague understanding: he was confident he could surpass all other opponents, except for two: Xing Mang and Sha Zhou!

Luo Feng was not confident. However, there was no doubt that a peak-level power from a destructive path, after completely remedying its flaws and combining with the life aspect, would naturally undergo a qualitative leap.

Luo Feng's moves were no longer just about sheer quantity. Instead, on the basis of sheer quantity, every bit of power was incredibly profound, imbued with the peak-level mysteries of destruction.

Luo Feng's aura now also contained an element of destructive intent.

"This isn't even my strongest state yet. If I master the Chaos Origin Blade Dao, I'll be even stronger than I am now." Only after comprehending 'The Power of Severance' did Luo Feng understand what his greatest bottleneck was in creating the complete Chaos Origin Blade Dao.

"To comprehend the Chaos Origin Blade Dao, my greatest obstacle must be my inner self," Luo Feng thought. For any Lord, the path they are most adept at is the one that best aligns with their true heart! However, the second path's alignment with their true heart significantly decreases. For example, when Luo Feng saw the legacy created by Jin, he greatly disliked the mental power contained within it. Destroying everything to become powerful? Luo Feng could not accept that.

"My inner self must be sufficiently aligned with the destructive aspect to create a Chaos Origin Blade Dao primarily focused on destruction." Luo Feng's heart was like a blade, capable of severing all obstacles.

"Through endless ages of tempering, my heart, like a blade, has become ever sharper. However, this heart of severance is only barely enough to comprehend 'The Power of Severance' at its peak level; it is far from enough to comprehend the complete Chaos Origin Blade Dao. My accumulated knowledge has gradually become sufficient, only then did I discover my greatest flaw lies within my inner self. Only when the heart and Dao merge can one create a 'Dao.'" Luo Feng mused, "First, I must accumulate more."

"The more accumulation, the better."

Luo Feng had always followed this path in his cultivation: preparing thoroughly in all aspects made the journey smoother. With a thought, the cave dwelling naturally disintegrated, and its energy returned to this destructive world. "Brother Wulan, I'll continue exploring the next layer," Luo Feng said.

"Congratulations, young brother Luo Feng."

When Luo Feng had just broken through, an invisible fluctuation had already startled Wulan, the master of this destructive world. Wulan merely assumed Luo Feng had made some progress in his cultivation, not realizing he had created a second Dao.

Creating a second Chaos Origin-level Dao was a momentous event, not only for Luo Feng personally but for the entire cultivator faction, and it would certainly need to be reported to the other Lords.

The Abyss of Destruction, this mysterious place named after 'destruction,' was considered a sacred ground by many Ancestors throughout the boundless Chaosverse!

Having a seat in the 'Eternal Land' represented immortality.

Occupying a layer in the 'Abyss of Destruction' meant one's power ranked among the top thirty! One should know that renowned existences like 'Lotus Prison Mountain Master' and 'Chaos Origin Beast Emperor' only occupied layers within the top five.

These two sacred grounds, one represented survival capability, and the other represented combat prowess!

"The eighth layer!" Luo Feng passed through the spatial-temporal barrier and entered the eighth layer of the Abyss of Destruction.

This eighth layer was shrouded in mist, and a towering black figure emerged from the ground. Covered in black scales, with a single eye blazing with crimson fire, he coldly stared at Luo Feng. "Lord Luo Feng, have you come here to seize this layer of the destructive world?" "Ancestor Wugu," Luo Feng said, looking at him.

"I believe you've sensed that I've been progressing deeper from the first layer of the destructive world, staying for some years in each," Luo Feng said. "I am traversing the Abyss of Destruction to temper my cultivation; I will not seize this layer of the destructive world from you."

"Do you think I'll believe that?" Ancestor Wugu angrily retorted. "You cultivator Lords have seized territories from me more than once!"

This was the eighth layer; Lord Naigu was in the ninth, and Ming Huang, Jin, and Morman were in the eleventh to thirteenth layers, respectively.

Wugu was from the same era as Yuan! Yet, he was later surpassed by cultivator Lords one by one. The methods of each cultivator Lord gave Wugu a great headache, making him seem rather foolish.

"I can promise not to seize this layer of the destructive world from you. I only have one request: arrange for all the world envoys to besiege me for one epoch," Luo Feng said.

"Cooperate with your cultivation?" Ancestor Wugu shook his head slightly. "You dream too much!" Even if Luo Feng wouldn't seize it, Ancestor Wugu was unwilling to cooperate.

Previously, when the Ice Peak Faction encroached upon cultivator territories, Ancestor Wugu was the one who seized the most! Ancestor Wugu had personally overseen that seized territory with his true body! But in the end, all his hard-earned gains were forcibly returned.

To have to return what he had seized himself? Ancestor Wugu was extremely displeased.

He was immortal; when had he ever suffered such humiliation? But at the time, the entire Ice Peak Faction had collectively decided, and he could not defy them.

Yet, at this moment...

"There's no way I'll cooperate with you. Get lost, go to the next layer," Ancestor Wugu sneered.

"Not cooperating?" Luo Feng's expression turned cold. "Then I'll just have to force you to cooperate."

"Force me to cooperate? Hahaha... If I don't want to, you won't even touch a single world envoy," Ancestor Wugu sneered. "Alright, now get out of my layer of the destructive world!"

With a thought, dark clouds surged forth, vast and imposing. The endless dark clouds instantly engulfed Luo Feng, empowered by the 'World Force' of this layer of the destructive world! This World Force could condense into hundreds of envoys or be used to enhance oneself. However, condensing world envoys was the way to maximize combat power, as Ancestor Wugu was not adept at wielding the destructive power contained within this layer of the world.

"Get out!"

Ancestor Wugu already possessed the average combat power of a Lord, with slightly inferior close-combat ability but considerable strength in his domain. His life core could also integrate with his own power and appear in any avatar, which was why he dared to personally oversee the seized territory with his true body back then! At this moment, with just a thought, his life core merged into this avatar from an infinitely distant place, and this avatar naturally became his true body! With a continuous supply of the destructive world's power, he rapidly ascended to his strongest state. Furthermore, empowered by the 'World Force of Destruction,' he was thirty percent stronger than his true body in its normal state.

A "rumbling" sound filled the air as the endless dark clouds crushed down on Luo Feng, intending to force him out. These dark clouds were incredibly dense, and their oppressive force was terrifying.

"Begone—" Ancestor Wugu sneered disdainfully. Wanting him to cooperate with cultivation? This cultivator Lord was truly dreaming!

Suddenly, a chilling blade light flared!

This blade light instantly pierced through layers of dark clouds and even touched Ancestor Wugu's body. Ancestor Wugu only felt a terrifying force instantly cleave through his body, which seemed to willingly split open in perfect cooperation!

"Split open?"

Ancestor Wugu was shocked and enraged, turning his head to look.

That blade light, carrying a figure, had already cleaved deep into the earth of this layer of the destructive world, heading directly for the innermost 'Origin Shadow.'

"Oh no." Ancestor Wugu was shocked and enraged. His speed was far inferior to Luo Feng's at this moment. The 'World Force of Destruction' that had been enhancing his body immediately dissipated, rapidly forming a total of 550 world envoys.

"Stop him!" Ancestor Wugu urgently commanded with a thought.

This group of "world envoys" combined their efforts, only slightly inferior to him. As long as they could stop Luo Feng for a short time, he would be able to join forces with the group of world envoys!

The 550 world envoys, acting on command, exerted their full strength to block. "Whoosh!" The blade light condensed, flashed, and in an instant, over three hundred world envoys were severed by a single strike. With almost no obstruction, the blade light had already reached the location of the 'Origin Shadow.'

Before Ancestor Wugu could even arrive, he felt himself lose control over this layer of the destructive world.

"Wugu, I no longer need your cooperation. Be gone." Luo Feng appeared on the surface, his bloody robe fluttering, and he looked at Wugu coldly.

"How is this possible? This, this, this is impossible!" Ancestor Wugu simply could not comprehend it: he, empowered by the World Force, couldn't even intercept Luo Feng for a single instant? This Luo Feng had never displayed such terrifying strength during the War of the Two Great Factions!
