Episode 12: The Seven Parts of the Abyss of Destruction
"The lowest level?" Luo Feng smiled.
Even he felt a great sense of accomplishment upon reaching the lowest level, the 34th floor. After all, it was the Abyss of Destruction, one of the Three Poles of the Infinite Primal Chaos Space, and he was the first among the many progenitors and lords to arrive here.
"Are you the World Envoy from the lowest level of this Destruction World?" Luo Feng asked curiously instead of making a move.
Having finally encountered a World Envoy with whom he could communicate, Luo Feng was eager to learn some secrets about the Abyss of Destruction from the other party.
"Yes," the figure in the burqa said with a smile.
"The World Envoy on the 33rd floor before didn't seem to have much intelligence," Luo Feng said. Those World Envoy were more driven by instinct.
"They are not qualified to compare with me," the cloaked figure said. "As for developing intelligence, both Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform and beings from your Source World possess intelligence. As a being born from the Abyss of Destruction, isn't it normal for me to have intelligence?"
"You know I am a being from the Source World?" Luo Feng asked in surprise.
"The Abyss of Destruction gathers the hatred, killing intent, resentment, and so on of all living beings. Through this, one can naturally observe the ecology of the entire Infinite Primal Chaos Space," said the figure in the cloak. "Although I can't leave the Abyss of Destruction even half a step, I know perhaps more than you do."
"Are there intelligent beings in the Eternal Land, the Wall of Fiery Hell, and the Abyss of Destruction, which are on the same level?" Luo Feng asked.
"Perhaps," the figure in the cloak said.
Luo Feng understood this as well. Even the progenitors and lords knew very little about those two places, and had never even seen their cores. Even if intelligent beings had been born there, the threshold for them to see them would probably be very high.
"You can make your move now," the cloaked figure said. "I am different from the World Envoy on the previous 33 floors. Once you defeat me, you will completely take control of 'Destruction World'."
"To be in charge of Destruction World?" Luo Feng's heart stirred.
Previously, upon entering the hidden place, the Mountain of Destruction, I learned that 'by passing Seven Trials, one can wield the Abyss of Destruction '.
Now this World Envoy says that defeating it will grant the power to Destruction World.
"What's the difference between ruling the Destruction World and ruling the Abyss of Destruction?" Luo Feng asked.
"The Abyss of Destruction is divided into seven parts," the cloaked figure said. "The Destruction World has the lowest entry threshold; one can enter directly and delve deeper layer by layer. Once you've conquered all 34 layers of the Destruction World of Destruction World, you can take control of it. The power of the Destruction World is about one-seventh of that of the Abyss of Destruction."
"What about the other six parts?" Luo Feng asked curiously.
"There are thresholds to explore," the cloaked figure said. "For example, the 'Mountain of Destruction' you entered is the very core of the Abyss of Destruction. That mountain contains three parts of power. If you can pass the 'sixth Seven Trials, you can also obtain a part of the power. As for the others? Since you haven't come into contact with them, I can't tell you."
Luo Feng was secretly alarmed.
Destruction World is one power, the Mountain of Destruction holds three powers, and passing six trials also grants one power. That makes five powers. There are two more powers that I clearly haven't yet encountered.
"Seven powers, perhaps wielded by different individuals," the cloaked figure said. "And once a great being passes the Seven Trials, he will completely control the entire Abyss of Destruction. Your powers will be completely stripped away."
Luo Feng understood; they were still competitors.
Since no one has been born to control the Abyss of Destruction, there may be several powerful beings who each wield a portion of that power.
"Of course, that's still a long way off. To date, no one has even come forward to possess any power," the cloaked figure said.
"Alright, you know what you need to know." The figure in the cloak slightly raised his head. "Take this."
Whoosh—
Its majestic figure instantly transformed into endless black mist, which easily annihilated Luo Feng's Life and Death Domain and completely enveloped Luo Feng.
Whether it was Luo Feng's Life and Death Domain and Death or the black mist power of this World Envoy, no living being outside could see into the 34th floor.
"Such intense pressure!" Luo Feng's protective energy layer also contained the characteristics of 'immortality and shadow,' yet he still felt the immense pressure from the black mist. Furthermore, under such suppression, the power of the Blood Crane Territory could not spread out, and he could not move with the help of the Power of Shadow.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom!
Luo Feng drew his sword without hesitation.
In an instant, countless dazzling blades of light slashed forward! These blades of light coordinated with each other, like surging waves rising and falling, tearing apart all the black mist that blocked their way.
It is Luo Feng's "Destruction Blade Technique," one of his five major combat techniques.
The Destruction Blade Technique disregards locking onto a target, pursuing extreme destruction at close range!
"Your swordsmanship is quite powerful." A calm voice rang out, and the black mist quickly condensed into water, the black water thick and heavy, pressing down.
Even Luo Feng's sword light could only barely cut through part of the black water. As the black water flowed and pressed down, the layers of sword light eventually dissipated.
"Just the domain itself makes it impossible for me to move an inch?" Luo Feng frowned. Unless a group of lords and ancestors joined forces, how could they have such a deterrent effect?
"Cut!"
The 1.08 billion primal energy within Luo Feng's body burned wildly, and his physical body began to partially transform into energy. In an instant, endless energy erupted, and Luo Feng merged with the Sky-Rending Blade, transforming into an incomparably condensed blade of light.
The forbidden move of the Destruction Blade Technique: 'One Cut Two Pieces'!
The 'Power of Severance' was the first Destruction Power that Luo Feng mastered, and his Mind Will was particularly aligned with this path. In the 'Primal Chaos Blade Path' he created, Luo Feng naturally made use of his advantages and created many 'severing' blade techniques.
Without self-destructing, he instantly burned 30% of his energy reserves, transforming himself into an incredibly condensed blade of light. This was the ultimate control Luo Feng had over energy.
There was no way around it; his energy reserves were simply too high! If he were to burn even more of his energy reserves, the sheer volume of energy would be overwhelming... Even Luo Feng, who had mastered the 'Primal Chaos Life-Death Path' and the 'Primal Chaos Blade Path,' wasn't confident he could condense the energy perfectly without any leakage.
Such a refined blade of light carried an aura of power that Nothing Is Uncuttable.
"Tear--"
A very soft voice.
Wherever the blade passed, the black water naturally split open, and this condensed blade light went straight for the Primal Chaos Shadow.
"That was a powerful strike!" a voice of praise rang out.
Within the black water, a chain materialized, strong and solid, blocking the blade's gleam.
"Puff."
The blade flashed past, severing the chains instantly.
This forbidden technique was originally meant for slaying enemies, and Luo Feng was using it now to overcome obstacles, hoping to reach the location of the Primal Chaos Shadow.
But within the black water, more and more chains coalesced, enveloping everything. The broken chains dissipated on their own, only to coalesce again before the flashing blades.
There are 34 chains in total, but they can come together and disperse unpredictably, appearing anywhere in this layer of the Destruction World.
After the chain breaks, a new chain will block Luo Feng's path.
These chains coiled and intertwined, continuously enveloping the area.
Puff puff puff—
The terrifying blade of light that Luo Feng had transformed into finally weakened after severing hundreds of chains. As its momentum diminished, chains immediately enveloped him, binding Luo Feng's true form in the blink of an eye.
"Boom--"
A terrifying explosion erupted, instantly obliterating the 34 chains binding him and also partially annihilating the surrounding black water.
However, the area annihilated by the explosion was too small. With the continuous supply of power from 'Destruction World', the black water immediately surged in again, and 34 new chains condensed and reappeared.
"The forbidden move of the Origin Battle Method only blasted such a small area?" Seeing this, Luo Feng's body, formed from the remaining power, could only take a step back before the black water enveloped it, and then travel through time and space back to the 33rd floor.
With his strength greatly diminished, he was simply unable to fight.
33rd floor.
Luo Feng's energy reserves have fallen to less than 20% and are recovering.
"With the combination of the domain and the chains, my other combat techniques, including the 'Origin Battle Method,' can only annihilate a small area." Luo Feng frowned. "Only by transforming into a blade of light and unleashing forbidden moves can I sever the chains hundreds of times and fly a certain distance."
This is the method with the longest flight distance.
"But if you weaken it with one move, you'll be immediately bound."
"What to do?"
I'm still so far from the Primal Chaos Shadow, and it's already this difficult. Based on my experience, the closer one gets to the Primal Chaos Shadow, the more frantic the World Envoy will become.
"Domains and chains are probably just some of the methods used by this World Envoy." After all, Luo Feng understood the mysteries of the most basic Destruction Power and could deduce some of the methods used by this World Envoy.
If the Dark Envoy and the Flame Envoy on the 33rd floor were on par with him, then the sole World Envoy on the 34th floor completely suppressed him.
"The gap is quite large." Luo Feng pondered for a moment. The seemingly simple Blackwater Domain combined with the chains was something Luo Feng couldn't figure out how to break.
"Go and take a look at the Mountain of Destruction."
The hidden location of the Abyss of Destruction is 'Mountain of Destruction'.
Call.
Luo Feng returned to the Mountain of Destruction.
Looking at the massive mountain before me, this Mountain of Destruction was pitch black, with an inky black mist covering its surface. Thirty-four bright spots, like stars, were intertwined, resembling the veins of the Mountain of Destruction.
"The World Envoy said that the Mountain of Destruction contains three powers."
"On the surface, it has nurtured numerous weapons, and even things like the Destruction Fruit. It also possesses thirty-four kinds of Destruction Power and harbors countless negative emotions," Luo Feng observed.
"The network diagram outlined by these 34 Destruction Power is the evolutionary direction of the Life Core on the Path of Destruction." Luo Feng's heart stirred. "Perhaps if the Life Core evolves along this direction, it can reach a certain level and come into contact with the method of obtaining 'a power'."
Of the seven powers of the Abyss of Destruction, the power of 'Destruction World' is probably the easiest to access, since any Primordial Lord can enter the outermost layer of the Destruction World.
Luo Feng carefully observed and touched the area around the Mountain of Destruction.
The only entrance to the mountain path is blocked by Seven Sculptures, making it impossible to climb the mountain without challenging them.
