"The lowest level?" Luo Feng smiled.

Even for him, reaching the 34th Level—the lowest level—was a significant achievement.

After all, the Abyss of Destruction is one of the Three Poles of the Infinite Hunyuan Space.

Among all the Hunyuan Ancestors and Lords, he was the first to reach this place.

"Are you the Realm Envoy of this lowest level, the Chaos Destruction Realm?" Luo Feng asked curiously, delaying his attack.

It was rare to encounter a Realm Envoy capable of conversation, and Luo Feng was eager to learn some of the Abyss of Destruction's secrets from this being.

"Yes," the hooded figure replied with a smile.

"The Realm Envoys of the previous 33 levels seemed rather lacking in intelligence," Luo Feng remarked.

Those Realm Envoys acted marely on instinct than anything else.

"They're hardly worthy of comparison to me," the hooded figure said, "As for intelligence, both Innate Hunyuan Lifeforms and beings from the Origin World possess it. Since I was nurtured by the Abyss of Destruction, isn't it natural for me to be intelligent?"

"You know I'm from the Origin World?" Luo Feng asked, surprised.

"The Abyss of Destruction gathers the hatred, killing intent, resentment, and all manner of emotions from every living being," the hooded figure explained, "Through this, I can observe the ecology of the entire Infinite Hunyuan Space. Though I can't leave the Abyss even a single step, I may know more than you."

"The Eternal Land, the Hell Fire Prison Wall, and the Abyss of Destruction are all on the same level. Do you think they also contain sentient beings?" Luo Feng asked.

"Perhaps," the hooded figure replied.

Luo Feng understood this well. Even the Hunyuan Ancestors and Lords knew very little about those two realms, having never even seen their cores. Even if sentient beings existed there, the threshold to encounter them would likely be extremely high.

"You may now attack me," the hooded figure said, "I am different from the previous 33 Realm Envoys. Defeat me, and you will completely control the 'Chaos Destruction Realm'."

"Control the Chaos Destruction Realm?" A thought stirred in Luo Feng's mind.

Earlier, when he entered the hidden realm of the Mountain of Destruction, he learned that "by passing the Sevenfold Trial, one could control the Abyss of Destruction."

Now this Realm Envoy claimed that defeating it would grant control over the Chaos Destruction Realm.

"What's the difference between controlling the Chaos Destruction Realm and controlling the Abyss of Destruction?" Luo Feng asked.

"The Abyss of Destruction is divided into seven parts," the hooded figure explained, "The Chaos Destruction Realm is the lowest threshold, allowing direct entry. By delving deeper level by level, if you can slaughter your way through all 34 levels of the Chaos Destruction Realm, you will gain control of it. The power of the Chaos Destruction Realm constitutes approximately one-seventh of the Abyss of Destruction's total power."

"What about the other six parts?" Luo Feng asked curiously.

"Each has its own threshold to explore," the hooded figure replied, "For example, the Mountain of Destruction you entered is the core of the Abyss of Destruction. That mountain itself contains three parts of the power. Passing the sixth level of the Sevenfold Trial also grants you one part of the power. As for the others? Since you haven't encountered them, I can't reveal them to you."

Luo Feng was inwardly startled.

The Chaos Destruction Realm is one part of the power, the Mountain of Destruction concealed three parts, and passing the sixth level of the Sevenfold Trial granted another part. That made five parts in total.

Clearly, he hadn't yet encountered the remaining two parts.

"There may be seven parts of power, each with its own controller," the hooded figure said, "Once a great being passes all seven levels of the Sevenfold Trial, they will completely master the Abyss of Destruction, and your power will be utterly stripped away."

Luo Feng understood.

It was still a competition among rivals.

Since the entity that would master the Abyss of Destruction hadn't yet emerged, it was possible that several powerful beings were each controlling a portion of the power.

"Of course, all of this is still far off," the hooded figure continued, "Even a single controller of one part of the power hasn't appeared yet."

"Alright, you've learned what you needed to know," the hooded figure said, raising its head slightly, "Now, receive this blow."

"Whoosh—"

Its majestic form instantly transformed into an endless black mist. The dense mist effortlessly obliterated Luo Feng's Domain of Life and Death, completely enveloping him.

Whether it was Luo Feng's Domain of Life and Death or the Realm Envoy's black mist, neither allowed any living being outside to observe the 34th Level.

"What an overwhelming pressure!" Luo Feng's Protective Energy Layer, imbued with the characteristics of "Immortality" and "Shadow," still felt the crushing weight of the black mist.

Under this immense pressure, the power of his Blood Crane Territory couldn't spread, rendering him unable to utilize the Shadow Force for movement.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Without hesitation, Luo Feng drew his blade.

In an instant, countless dazzling blade lights erupted forward in a dense barrage!

These blade lights harmonized like surging waves, tearing through the black mist with relentless ferocity.

This was one of Luo Feng's Five Combat Techniques: The Destruction Blade Technique.

The Destruction Blade Technique disregarded target locking, focusing solely on inflicting extreme destruction at close range!

"Your blade technique is quite impressive," a calm voice resonated as the black mist rapidly condensed into thick, viscous Blackwater, surging forward with crushing force.

Even Luo Feng's blade lights could only barely sever fragments of the Blackwater.

As the Blackwater flowed relentlessly, the layers of blade lights were ultimately dissipated.

"Is this Domain alone enough to stop me in my tracks?" Luo Feng frowned.

Unless a group of Lords or Hunyuan Ancestors combined their power, none of them could exert such overwhelming pressure.

"Slash!"

Within Luo Feng's body, 1.08 billion origin cores burned with frenzied energy.

His physical form partially transformed into pure energy, releasing an endless surge of power.

Luo Feng became the Void-Severing Blade, condensing into an incomparably concentrated blade of light.

The forbidden technique of the Destruction Blade Technique: One Slash, Two Halves!

Severing Power was the first Destructive Power Luo Feng mastered, perfectly aligned with his spiritual will.

In his self-created Hunyuan Blade Dao, he naturally leveraged this strength, developing numerous "severing" blade techniques.

Without self-detonating, he burned thirty percent of his energy reserves in an instant, transforming his entire being into an incomparably concentrated blade of light.

This was the pinnacle of Luo Feng's energy control.

It couldn't be helped; his energy reserves were simply too vast! Burning more would release such immense power... even Luo Feng, who mastered both the Hunyuan Life and Death Dao and the Hunyuan Blade Dao, couldn't guarantee he could condense it without any leakage.

This condensed blade of light carried an unstoppable force, capable of severing anything in its path.

"Tear—"

A soft sound.

Wherever the blade of light passed, the Blackwater naturally split apart, allowing the concentrated blade to streak directly toward the Phantom Origin.

"What a formidable slash!" a voice of praise rang out.

Within the Blackwater, a chain materialized, solid and resilient, blocking the path of the blade's light.

"Pfft."

The blade's light swept through, severing the chain in an instant.

This Forbidden Technique was designed to slay enemies, and Luo Feng was using it to hack through obstacles, determined to reach the Phantom Origin.

But more chains coalesced from the Blackwater, swirling around him.

The severed chains dissipated, only to reform anew before the blade's light.

There were thirty-four chains in total, their presence erratic, capable of manifesting anywhere within the Chaos Destruction Realm.

Each time one was severed, another materialized to intercept Luo Feng.

The chains encircled and intertwined, relentlessly converging on him.

"Swish... Swish... Swish..."

After severing hundreds of chains, the terrifying blade's power finally waned.

As its momentum faltered, the chains immediately swarmed around him, binding his True Body in an instant.

"Boom!"

A catastrophic explosion erupted, instantly annihilating all thirty-four chains and a portion of the surrounding Blackwater.

But the blast's radius was too small. Fueled by the Chaos Destruction Realm's inexhaustible power, the Blackwater surged back, and new chains reformed.

"The Origin Combat Technique's Forbidden Technique can only destroy such a tiny area?"

Luo Feng, his body condensed from his remaining power, had no choice but to retreat a step before the Blackwater engulfed him, traversing Time-Space back to the 33rd Level.

His strength severely diminished, he could no longer fight.

...........

33rd Level.

Luo Feng's energy reserves plummeted to less than twenty percent, and he was in the process of recovering.

"Combining the Domain with the chains, my other battle techniques, including the Origin Combat Technique, can only annihilate a small area," Luo Feng frowned, "Only by transforming into blade light and using the Forbidden Technique can I sever hundreds of chains and fly a significant distance."

This was the farthest he could fly.

"But after each move, I'll be immediately bound."

"What should I do?"

He was still far from the Phantom Origin, yet the battle was already this difficult.

Based on his experience, the closer he got to the Phantom Origin, the more frenzied the Realm Envoy would become.

"The Domain and chains are likely only part of this Realm Envoy's arsenal," Luo Feng thought. Having a deep understanding of the mysteries of the Destructive Power at the Abyss's lowest levels, he could infer some of the Realm Envoy's methods.

If the Dark Envoy and Flame Envoy of the 33rd Level were his equals, then the sole Realm Envoy of the 34th Level completely overshadowed him in all aspects.

"The gap is too wide," Luo Feng pondered.

Despite the seemingly simple combination of the Blackwater Domain and chains, he couldn't figure out how to break free.

"I need to investigate the Mountain of Destruction."

.........

The hidden location within the Abyss of Destruction: the Mountain of Destruction.

"Huh."

Luo Feng returned to the Mountain of Destruction once more.

Before him stood the colossal, pitch-black mountain, its surface shrouded in ink-like mist. Thirty-four luminous points, resembling stars, glimmered across its surface, their radiance intertwining like veins, forming the Mountain of Destruction's intricate pattern.

"The Realm Envoy said the Mountain of Destruction contains three sources of power."

"But from what I can see, it nurtures countless weapons, even the Destruction Fruit itself. It also harbors thirty-four forms of Destructive Power and conceals countless negative emotions," Luo Feng observed.

"The pattern formed by these thirty-four Destructive Powers must outline the evolutionary path of the Life Core along the Dao of Destruction," Luo Feng realized.

"Perhaps if the Life Core evolves along this trajectory to a certain extent, it can uncover the method to obtain one of these 'sources of power'."

Among the seven powers of the Abyss of Destruction, the power to "Destruction Power" might be the most accessible.

After all, any Practitioner Lord could enter the outermost Chaos Destruction Realm.

Luo Feng meticulously examined the surroundings of the Abyss of Destruction, studying and analyzing everything.

The only entrance to the Mountain Path was blocked by the Seven Sculptures.

Without challenging these sculptures, there was no way to ascend the mountain.
