Taking Control of the Destruction World

Luo Feng had studied the Mountain of Destruction for a long time, yet he had found no way to obtain the other powers of the Abyss of Destruction.

"As the highest-level mysterious place, even a portion of the Abyss of Destruction's power has an extremely high threshold for selection."

"Forget it. I won't think about the other six powers for now. I should seize the time to take control of the Destruction World first." Luo Feng looked at the Seven Sculptures in the distance. Although even the lowest-level World Envoy was immensely powerful, he remained confident that he could handle them.

His confidence lay in this...

He had yet to exchange any of the Destruction Fruits from the Mountain of Destruction for treasures! Once he did, his strength could rise even further!

"The more Destruction Fruits I have, the better the treasures I can exchange for." Luo Feng walked toward the Seven Sculptures.

The fourth sculpture, the "Massive Cube," gradually awakened. Its aura rose as it naturally locked onto Luo Feng.

When Luo Feng had defeated the third sculpture last time, there had been a measure of luck involved. Against the fourth sculpture, he had suffered a crushing defeat! But now, he had comprehended the Primal Chaos Blade Path and created five great combat techniques. He had undergone a complete transformation!

Previously, his combat power had been on par with Shazhou's.

Now, he utterly surpassed Shazhou!

"Based on my experience from our last fight, I should be confident of defeating the fourth sculpture." Luo Feng spread his hands, and streams of condensed blade light immediately flew out, naturally descending around him.

There were fifty enormous blade lights in total, each one containing one percent of Luo Feng's energy reserves! Each of these fifty blade lights was like a clone of Luo Feng, forming an overwhelmingly powerful destruction blade array—the Five Factions Life and Death Reincarnation Killing Array.

This was the array Luo Feng could mobilize the most power into, and it was also his most powerful killing array.

The moment the array emerged, it sealed off everything within and without.

Boom!!! The Massive Cube instantly turned into an afterimage and shot forward, trying to rush beyond the blade array's range.

"Kill!"

With a thought from Luo Feng—

The killing array activated. Within the Five Factions Life and Death Reincarnation Killing Array...

Countless blade lights twisted like silk around fingers, binding and entangling the Massive Cube!

The incomparably condensed and terrifying blade lights could cut through anything, causing the Massive Cube to fracture and split into 125 smaller cubes.

Some blade lights carried Severing Life, weakening even the life spirituality granted to the Massive Cube by the Abyss of Destruction.

Some possessed ultimate penetrating power...

Others combined numerous Life and Death blade lights, grinding and killing like gears...

Countless methods combined perfectly, cycling endlessly like reincarnation!

Rumble. The Massive Cube could gather and disperse at will. Even when dozens of its smaller cubes were pierced and shattered, it would recover completely in an instant. The cubes would also form the complete Massive Cube again and crash into the blade array.

The impact from that single point at its tip was terrifyingly powerful.

But even if one blade light in the array was damaged, other blade lights would temporarily take its place, while Luo Feng would immediately replenish and maintain it.

The entire blade array was brimming with endless vitality. While trapping the enemy, its many powers continuously besieged and slaughtered it.

Severing seventy or eighty small cubes?

Grinding countless small cubes to pieces?

The array's power was clearly superior! Yet as long as a single small cube remained intact, all the other damaged cubes could recover.

"Even this killing array alone can't destroy the fourth sculpture?" Luo Feng was somewhat surprised. He reached out, gripped the Sky-Rending Blade, and entered the killing array himself.

Rumble—

Luo Feng struck.

As the blade array ground away at the enemy, savage and terrifying blade light surged forth. It was Luo Feng's close-combat technique for destroying all things—the Destruction Blade Technique.

The blade array's range was not large, making it perfect for the Destruction Blade Technique to display its power.

Boom— The blade array and the Destruction Blade Technique worked in concert, their power climbing once more as they completely shattered all 125 cubes! At the instant every cube was shattered, the energy core that could shift and transform among the 125 cubes was finally affected.

All the broken and fragmented small cubes turned into energy and flew back into the distance, condensing into the original Massive Cube sculpture.

The Seven Sculptures remained quietly in the distance.

"Done." Luo Feng smiled.

If he had failed this time, he would have had to try using a trapping array in conjunction with his Primal Chaos combat technique.

Fortunately, the killing array paired with the Destruction Blade Technique had already succeeded.

"I possess two Primal Chaos-level Daos of life and death, yet I had to nearly exhaust my strength just to defeat the fourth sculpture." Luo Feng looked at the other three sculptures. "The difficulty of passing the Seven Trials truly is beyond imagination."

"Let me try the fifth sculpture and see how wide the gap is."

Luo Feng did not expect to have much chance of success, but he had to try.

His battle against the fifth sculpture, the "Black Star," went exactly as expected. He lost miserably.

Yet Luo Feng did not care in the slightest. He would have found it strange if he had won!

"It's time to exchange for treasures."

Luo Feng walked before the Mountain of Destruction and gently touched it. Once more, he endured waves of hatred, killing intent, resentment, and more, as well as the impact on his soul from countless memory scenes. Luo Feng faced it all calmly.

After enduring the impact, Luo Feng sensed some information.

"I can choose four Destruction Fruits, or exchange them for other treasures." Luo Feng examined the vast amount of information regarding the treasures.

Information surged into his mind regarding what could be exchanged for one fruit, two fruits, three fruits, and four fruits.

Luo Feng was very cautious.

Once he exchanged these four fruits, before taking control of the Abyss of Destruction, he would at most be able to accumulate one or two more Destruction Fruits. The treasures he could exchange for then would be far inferior to what he could obtain now.

"I have to exchange for treasures now. Only by relying on external items can I defeat the World Envoy on the thirty-fourth level in a short time." Luo Feng understood this well. After mastering two Primal Chaos-level Daos, he had reached a bottleneck. Over the long years ahead, even improving by the slightest bit through comprehension and cultivation would be difficult.

Relying on the enhancement of mysterious places and external assistance from special Weapon Secret Treasures instead gave him greater hope of improving.

"There are only three treasures that four fruits can exchange for." Luo Feng sensed the information.

The three treasures were a black robe, a black sphere, and a sharp blade.

They were the three most powerful Weapon Secret Treasures nurtured by the Mountain of Destruction.

Once worn, the black robe would merge into one's body, making that body extremely difficult to destroy from then on! By Luo Feng's judgment, even an ordinary Progenitor with the black robe would possess a body comparable to Wulan or the Ice Peak Progenitor.

The black sphere could transform into a Blackwater Domain! The domain's power was likely no weaker than the Primal Chaos Beast Ancestor's domain.

The sharp blade could change into any weapon form, contained endless sharpness, and could cut through all matter and energy.

"The three strongest secret treasures nurtured by the Mountain of Destruction. A robe, a domain secret treasure, and a weapon." Luo Feng pondered.

Under normal circumstances—

Among treasures of the same grade, domain secret treasures were generally the most valuable, followed by defensive secret treasures, with weapons coming last.

"The Mountain of Destruction should be best at nurturing destruction-type treasures." Luo Feng considered the sharp blade. Its information contained one line—able to cut through all matter and energy.

This information carried extraordinary meaning.

Considering his Primal Chaos Blade Path—

"I'll take it." With a thought, Luo Feng exchanged for the sharp blade.

Boom—

The Mountain of Destruction trembled slightly. A vast aura of destruction soared into the sky, and within that terrifying aura was a sharp blade. The blade shot skyward and flew toward Luo Feng.

Luo Feng reached out, and the sharp blade landed in his hand. This blade had no handle; all four sides were edges.

Yet at Luo Feng's will, the sharp blade naturally changed, eventually becoming the form of his favorite Blood Shadow Blade.

Holding the strongest weapon nurtured by the Mountain of Destruction, Luo Feng seemed to return in a daze to his youth, to those days when he had practiced with the Blood Shadow Blade in the martial arts hall.

"Blood Shadow Blade, stay by my side through the endless years to come." Luo Feng smiled faintly.

The treasures exchanged from the Mountain of Destruction all shared a common flaw—they had to be carried on one's person!

Whether it was the weak mysterious place in "embryonic form" exchangeable for three Destruction Fruits, the strongest secret treasures exchangeable for four Destruction Fruits, or Kav Xiu's armor exchangeable for a single fruit, they all had to be carried on one's person!

In a life-and-death battle, one's body could be shattered and the treasure taken away!

"With my blade techniques and this Blood Shadow Blade, I can cut through everything wherever I go. No one can stop me." Luo Feng was confident that even if he faced the siege of over a hundred Progenitors, he could carve out a path.

"Let's go to the thirty-fourth level of the Abyss of Destruction and test the power of this Blood Shadow Blade."

With a thought, Luo Feng traversed space-time and left the Mountain of Destruction.

The thirty-fourth level of the Abyss of Destruction was also its lowest level. The Life and Death Domain once more enveloped the place.

The World Envoy condensed again, taking the form of a robed figure.

"You have come." The robed figure looked at Luo Feng, then at the Blood Shadow Blade in his hand.

The strongest sharp blade nurtured by the Abyss of Destruction, one of the Three Poles of the Infinite Primal Chaos Space! The robed figure knew very well... that this sharp blade contained inconceivable sharpness. Of course, only someone sufficiently powerful could obtain this weapon from the Abyss of Destruction and gain its recognition.

"Your strength is formidable. To show my respect, I went to the Mountain of Destruction and exchanged for this weapon." Luo Feng said.

"Good." The robed figure nodded slightly.

Whoosh.

Its towering body transformed into endless black mist, blanketing a vast area, including Luo Feng's location. The black mist condensed into countless streams of black water, beginning to suppress Luo Feng from every direction.

Hum—

Luo Feng suddenly became one with his blade, transforming into an incomparably condensed streak of blade light. At the sharp tip of that blade light was the Blood Shadow Blade itself.

Rip!

Compared to last time, Luo Feng felt far less resistance. The black water seemed to be "actively" moving aside. The Blood Shadow Blade inherently possessed the trait of "cutting through all matter and energy," and Luo Feng was using it in a blade technique fueled by thirty percent of his energy reserves, having mastered two Daos.

Wherever the blade light passed, everything was split in two.

Even the chains that had condensed one after another silently split apart beneath the blade light.

"Nothing is uncuttable. This is what it truly means for nothing to be uncuttable. Nothing can block my blade." Luo Feng marveled. He also understood that merely cutting someone in half was not fatal to Progenitors or Lords, but it still had a considerable impact.

Boom—

The black water could not stop him. The chains could not intercept him. A towering body stood before the Blood Shadow Blade—it was the World Envoy's powerful body.

Pfft!

The blade light flashed past, already piercing through the World Envoy's body.

"This..." The World Envoy watched helplessly. Luo Feng's already terrifying strength, combined with that sharp blade, was simply impossible to block.

Having become blade light, Luo Feng had already arrived beside the Primal Chaos Shadow.

Luo Feng found it far too easy.

When exchanging for a treasure, he had chosen this sharp blade among the three options. On one hand, it made what he excelled at even stronger! On the other, to take control of the Destruction World, Luo Feng had worried that a domain secret treasure might be weaker than the World Envoy's domain, while the robe secret treasure merely enhanced defense. He had worried that those two treasures would not help him refine and control the thirty-fourth level.

"The mystery of nothing being uncuttable, paired with the strongest weapon that can cut through anything." At this moment, Luo Feng even had a thought: I wonder whether my blade can cut the Initial Progenitor into One Cut Two Pieces.

In his delight, Luo Feng's consciousness easily imprinted itself upon the Primal Chaos Shadow.

At the instant of imprinting—

Boom.

Luo Feng sensed the true nature of the entire Abyss of Destruction.

He saw the surface layer, the "real world"—the thirty-four levels of the Destruction World! This was the layer most easily explored by Progenitors and Lords.

He also saw the inner layer, the "spiritual world"—the Destruction Sea! It was formed from the accumulated negative spiritual power of all living beings throughout the Infinite Primal Chaos Space over endless years, gathering into an incomparably terrifying Destruction Sea.

He even saw the core layer—the Mountain of Destruction.

At this moment, as the master controlling the surface-layer "Destruction World," Luo Feng sensed all manner of powers within the Infinite Primal Chaos Space.
