Luo Feng had remained on the first level of the Abyss of Destruction for over one Epoch.

During this time, the Three Thousand Worlds Envoys attacked tirelessly without pause, while Luo Feng carefully studied the portions of Destruction Power they wielded.

That should be enough. I have thoroughly studied every power the Three Thousand Worlds Envoys possess. There is no point in staying here any longer. One day, Luo Feng naturally came to this realization.

Luo Feng looked into the distance and said, "Progenitor Bafayu, thank you for your assistance! I am preparing to head to the next Destruction World."

Bafayu, who had been silently observing all along, also breathed a sigh of relief. With a thought, he immediately withdrew all the World Envoys.

Luo Feng nodded to him, then directly broke through the barriers of space-time and advanced toward the next Destruction World.

"He has finally left." Bafayu was completely relieved. As long as Luo Feng remained here, he had worried that Lord Luo Feng might suddenly turn hostile and seize this level of the Destruction World by force. Unfortunately, his side was too weak to provoke the Cultivator Faction.

The nine World-tier Primal Chaos beings had also been awaiting this day. For more than one Epoch, they had not even had World Envoys to spar with, and they had not dared make any major commotion for fear of angering that Cultivator Lord.

"Continue cultivating." Bafayu immediately assigned a World Envoy to accompany the nine clan members.

The second level of the Abyss of Destruction.

"Cultivator Lord Luo Feng?" A fat colossal beast appeared. It possessed sleek fur that shifted endlessly through brilliant colors. Every strand of fur contained boundless wonders and housed vast space within it.

The master of this level of the Destruction World was none other than the Primal Chaos Beast Ancestor, one of the Nine Sovereigns of the Innate Primal Chaos Faction.

"Primal Chaos Beast Ancestor." Luo Feng saw the other party as well.

The Primal Chaos Beast Ancestor was the strongest being in the domain aspect throughout Infinite Primal Chaos Space. Its body itself was a domain! Of course, it only excelled in domains and was rather weak in other aspects. In direct combat, it was considerably weaker than even Wulan, and it had only managed with great difficulty to occupy the second level of the Destruction World.

"Lord Luo Feng, what are you doing here?" The Primal Chaos Beast Ancestor stared at Luo Feng warily.

It had personally experienced the explosive might of Luo Feng's Primal Chaos Great Destruction.

Together with the Ancestor of Black Tide and the Giant God Emperor, the three of them were invincible when working together. But one-on-one? It was weaker than any of the Cultivator Lords.

"I have no intention of competing for this level of the Destruction World. I ask the Primal Chaos Beast Ancestor to dispatch all the World Envoys of this level to attack me with their full strength," Luo Feng said.

Though wary inwardly, the Primal Chaos Beast Ancestor merely nodded slightly on the surface. "Very well."

With a thought, black-furred Envoys appeared one after another. Eighteen hundred Black-Furred Envoys, ferocious and domineering, each with much stronger bodies, surrounded and attacked Luo Feng together.

Luo Feng's blood-red robe billowed around him as he allowed those attacks to land upon his body, carefully experiencing them.

"The Destruction Power contained in the second level of the Destruction World should be called Shattering Power. It consists of eighty percent destruction and twenty percent material composition." Luo Feng had accumulated an extremely deep understanding of destruction, so he quickly made his judgment.

Eighty percent destruction, twenty percent matter. It was not suitable for him to master, but he could still comprehend the mysteries of destruction within it.

Luo Feng immediately fought these Envoys, even deliberately using his body to withstand their attacks much of the time as he carefully contemplated their mysteries.

Boom—

As he casually slew an Envoy with a single slash, invisible ripples suddenly spread out, and a gray weapon descended from some hidden region of space-time.

Luo Feng's eyes lit up. He immediately reached out and caught it. It was a gray longspear, carrying an immensely powerful force of destruction and devastation.

"My first Destruction Weapon obtained in the Abyss of Destruction!" Luo Feng smiled. According to the intelligence he had gathered, while exploring the Abyss of Destruction and fighting through one Destruction World after another, one would occasionally obtain weapons. The previous seven Lords had all acquired some Destruction Weapons. Even those with the fewest had obtained five or six, while the Starlight Lord had acquired more than twenty.

All of them were Destruction Weapons and were not especially suitable for the Lords. Thus, most Lords placed them in the Initial Land for younger cultivators to exchange for.

During the earlier desperate period of war, the Lords had temporarily opened exchange permissions, allowing even Luo Feng, who had not yet transcended the cage at the time, a chance to exchange for the Sky-Rending Blade. Many treasures had been made available then, and quite a few were no less valuable than the Sky-Rending Blade.

"These Destruction Weapons are of limited help to me." Luo Feng put away the longspear with a flip of his hand. This longspear was comparable to the Sky-Rending Blade, but he preferred blade techniques in his heart.

Weapons at the level of the Sky-Rending Blade were ordinary weapons for Ancestors and Lords, providing only limited increases in strength.

As for treasures that could greatly increase a Cultivator Lord's strength? Those were simply far too precious.

"According to the intelligence, the land of destruction contains some special opportunities that can yield extremely precious items." Luo Feng had learned that Kav Xiu's White Battle Armor had been obtained from the Abyss of Destruction!

The reason Jin had explored it time and again, even wanting to ask Luo Feng for help, was to enter the Abyss of Destruction and obtain special opportunities, hoping to acquire an exceptionally powerful weapon or battle armor.

The range he could explore alone was limited. With Luo Feng's assistance, many levels of the Destruction World would be unable to stop them.

Refining a Primal Chaos Shadow required relying on one's own strength.

But merely exploring? It was entirely normal to explore together.

"According to the intelligence, the deeper one goes into the Abyss of Destruction, the greater the chance of encountering special opportunities." This was the experience summarized by the other Lords.

There had been no reports of special opportunities appearing within the first ten levels! Of course, it was also possible that those who obtained them had kept them secret and never revealed them.

After the tenth level, however, special opportunities occasionally appeared. Kav Xiu had encountered one while exploring the nineteenth level in the distant past. After enduring countless dangers, he finally obtained the White Battle Armor that had accompanied him for endless years. The assistance that White Battle Armor provided, greatly resisting all kinds of external attacks, was no less than the benefit of refining and controlling a mysterious land.

It was said that even more extraordinary opportunities existed beyond the twentieth level!

Yet Infinite Primal Chaos Space had only four occupants beyond the twentieth level in total: the Infinite Serpent Ancestor on the twenty-first level, Demon Ruins on the twenty-second, the Starlight Lord on the twenty-sixth, and Shazhou on the twenty-seventh.

Yuan was on the nineteenth level. But that did not mean he was weaker than the Infinite Serpent Ancestor or Demon Ruins.

Occupying each level of the Abyss of Destruction benefited whoever occupied it first! For Yuan to seize the twenty-first level, he would need to face the joint obstruction of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor and numerous World Envoys nearly as powerful as the Infinite Serpent Ancestor!

"Slowly, then." Luo Feng felt the siege of the Black-Furred Envoys before him and familiarized himself with Shattering Power, this highest-level destructive force.

The Primal Chaos Beast Ancestor, master of the second level of the Destruction World, watched from afar with considerable envy. "These Cultivator Lords have each mastered a Primal Chaos Path. As for me, I rely more on my innate talent. I was born an Ancestor. Even though I have grown to this point, and my domains can be called the strongest in Infinite Primal Chaos Space, I still cannot achieve immortality."

"My body itself is my domain. While that has made my domain immensely powerful, it has also trapped me." Having lived and accumulated experience for far too long, the Primal Chaos Beast Ancestor understood its own flaw. "If I wish to become immortal, I must break free of my physical body's constraints... I must allow my domain to completely merge into Infinite Primal Chaos Space."

"At that time, I will become part of Infinite Primal Chaos Space. Only then can I achieve immortality."

"As for now, as long as I possess a clearly defined body, there remains the possibility of being slain."

It had previously experienced Luo Feng's Primal Chaos Great Destruction. At the time, it had immediately taken the initiative to shed the power of Luo Feng's Primal Chaos Great Destruction. Even so, both it and the Ancestor of Black Tide had lost roughly ten percent of their bodies! If it had tried to completely seal that terrifying power, the Primal Chaos Beast Ancestor itself might have been utterly annihilated.

Naturally, it was not that foolish!

"Immortality..." The Primal Chaos Beast Ancestor yearned for it, yet could not take that step.

In the blink of an eye, more than one Epoch passed.

"Primal Chaos Beast Ancestor, there is no need to have the World Envoys continue besieging me. I am preparing to head to the next level as well," Luo Feng said.

"Lord Luo Feng." The Primal Chaos Beast Ancestor suddenly spoke. "How do you think my Void Body can completely merge into Infinite Primal Chaos Space?"

"Completely merge into it?"

Luo Feng glanced at it and said, "To merge with it, you must first understand it well enough! You need to carefully comprehend Infinite Primal Chaos Space. Even if you cannot comprehend the Primal Chaos Space Path, it would be best if you could at least comprehend one highest-level kind of Space Power."

"Comprehend a kind of Space Power?" The Primal Chaos Beast Ancestor instinctively abandoned the thought of comprehending the Primal Chaos Space Path. That was not something an Ancestor like it could hope for.

But comprehending a new highest-level power was still frighteningly difficult.

"Thank you," the Primal Chaos Beast Ancestor said gratefully.

Luo Feng smiled faintly and headed toward the next level.

The Lords of the Cultivator Faction treated the Innate Primal Chaos Faction differently depending on their stance! They were deeply hostile toward the pro-war faction, but much friendlier toward the anti-war faction.

Among the Nine Sovereigns, the Giant God Emperor, the Ancestor of Black Tide, and the Primal Chaos Beast Ancestor were the leaders of the anti-war faction! Previously, it had only been when more than seventy Ancestors found it difficult to retreat intact and the entire faction was about to lose that these three had joined the battle.

The Cultivator Faction was friendly toward the Giant God Emperor and the other two because it hoped there would be fewer members of the pro-war faction. After all, although the Lords themselves would be unharmed if battle erupted, the many world communities would suffer horrific casualties.

"Mastering one highest-level power truly is not easy." Luo Feng sighed inwardly.

Back then, even after mastering the Primal Chaos Life-Death Path, it had taken him more than three Epochs to comprehend Blood Power.

This time, his Primal Chaos Blade Path was merely in its embryonic stage, and comprehending the Power of Severance was clearly much more strenuous. Of course, it was still far easier than comprehending a complete Primal Chaos Blade Path.

Even with his potential and comprehension, as well as his accumulation in the Path aspect, comprehending a highest-level power was this difficult.

Those Ancestors grew through their Life Cores and usually mastered one highest-level power through their innate talents. As for mastering a second highest-level power? The difficulty naturally rose dramatically.

For example, no member of the Giant God Emperor Clan had been able to refine and control the Giant God Realm! Among the Infinite Great Serpent Clan, only the Infinite Serpent Ancestor had completely mastered two highest-level powers. The other Ancestor-level Infinite Serpents were clearly far weaker.

Luo Feng remained in every Destruction World for one or two Epochs, familiarizing himself with the highest-level Destruction Power contained in that level's Destruction World!

On the fifth level of the Destruction World, Luo Feng encountered the Lotus Prison Mountain Master. The Lotus Prison Mountain Master hated every Cultivator Lord, so he was naturally extremely hostile toward Luo Feng and utterly unwilling to cooperate.

Luo Feng could only take action himself, adopting the posture of forcibly seizing the fifth level of the Destruction World. Although the Lotus Prison Mountain Master excelled at withstanding all attacks, he was weaker than Luo Feng in direct combat. Otherwise, he would not have occupied only the fifth level. Under Luo Feng's forceful posture, the Lotus Prison Mountain Master was compelled to go all out and join forces with eight hundred World Envoys to besiege him.

The two sides fought until the world turned dark.

Luo Feng continued fighting for more than one Epoch. Only after thoroughly studying the powers of the eight hundred World Envoys did he proceed to the sixth level of the Destruction World.

"These Cultivator Lords are all so domineering!" The Lotus Prison Mountain Master was deeply displeased, yet there was nothing he could do.

The seventh level of the Abyss of Destruction.

Luo Feng finally arrived here.

"Brother Luo Feng." Wulan's laughter rumbled and echoed throughout the entire seventh-level world. "I sensed that you stayed in every level of the Destruction World for one or two Epochs. Were you comprehending Destruction Power?"

The other Lords all understood that after Luo Feng had achieved Yi Li Po Fa, he would certainly attempt a second Primal Chaos Path.

They also believed that given the speed at which Luo Feng had achieved Yi Li Po Fa, his second Primal Chaos Path should not take too long.

"I have also encountered a bottleneck in comprehending my second Path." Luo Feng shook his head. "So I came to the Abyss of Destruction to increase my accumulation."

"Tell me whatever help you need," Wulan said.

"Brother Wulan, please dispatch all the Envoys of this level's world to besiege me," Luo Feng said.

"Fine."

With a thought from Wulan, he mobilized six hundred World Envoys.

Each of these six hundred World Envoys resembled a lava colossus. All were incomparably ferocious as they besieged Luo Feng, allowing him to come into contact with a new Destruction Power: Violent Power.

Violent Power contained eighty percent Path of Destruction and twenty percent Path of Fire.

After experiencing it for more than one Epoch, Luo Feng had Wulan withdraw the Envoys.

"Brother Wulan, I need to stay in your level of the Destruction World for some time," Luo Feng said.

"Hahaha... Stay as you please, for as long as you like. This avatar of mine is usually asleep anyway." Wulan's laughter rumbled through this level of the Destruction World.

With a thought from Luo Feng, the earth changed, and an ordinary cave residence quickly formed.

"I will not disturb you, Brother Luo Feng." Wulan smiled as his enormous body slowly sank, descending into the depths of the earth and entering a slumber. He would awaken only when outsiders arrived.

"I have experienced seven kinds of Destruction Power. I have figured out all their mysteries, and now I need to properly digest and absorb them, making them part of my own path." Luo Feng began his closed-door cultivation within the cave residence.

Thank you to the new alliance leader Tianya Yisheng Bumei for the donation!
