Abyss of Destruction, 22nd Level...

This level of the Chaos Destruction Realm was twisted and shattered, its very fabric contorted into surging energy currents.

Endless streams of energy swirled around a peculiar cube, Mo Xu, who sensed Luo Feng's approaching from afar.

"He's here," Mo Xu said, brimming with anticipation.

He was born to stand at the pinnacle of the Infinite Hunyuan Space, Mo Xu is an Immortal level existence.

His close-range destructive power is unmatched! But even those Hunyuan Ancestors and Lords wouldn't be foolish enough to engage him in close combat.

His mobility is weak, severely limiting his deterrent power. Consequently, he had only claimed the 22nd level of the Abyss of Destruction, far behind Shazhou and Lord Xingmang.

A figure materialized through time and space- it was Luo Feng.

"You've come," Mo Xu said, radiating waves of excitement.

Luo Feng surveyed his surroundings. This entire level of the Chaos Destruction Realm was shattered and twisted, swirling around Mo Xu.

This scene reminded him of the Fourth Sculpture on the Mountain of Destruction, a structure composed of 125 smaller cubes, resembling Mo Xu.

That Fourth Sculpture was far more formidable than Mo Xu. Not only was it a formidable close-range fighter, but it also excelled in long-range attacks, its killing power completely overwhelming Luo Feng's current capabilities.

"Mo Xu has potential," Luo Feng thought, "He might evolve into the 'Fourth Sculpture' form. But his techniques are still too basic."

After all, since his creation, Mo Xu' strength hadn't significantly improved.

"How should I assist you?" Mo Xu asked enthusiastically, "One-on-one, or should we have Realm Envoys join the attack?"

"Either way is fine," Luo Feng replied with a smile.

He harbored hostility toward the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor, but held no grudge against Mo Xu.

As a solitary, Immortal, and immensely powerful entity, no faction would dare to oppose Mo Xu.

"Hahaha! Let's go with one-on-one first!"

The Immense Cube erupted with terrifying waves, tearing through the sky as it surged forward, carrying boundless energy.

Its speed seemed incredible, but for Lords and Hunyuan Ancestors, its mobility was actually quite weak.

Powerhouses like the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor or Feather Emperor could achieve omnipresence!

Using the Blood Crane Territory's power, Luo Feng could also move with ghostly speed over short distances.

Even Lord Wu Lan, the slowest among the Eight Lords, was slightly faster than Mo Xu.

"Don't hide! Don't hide!" The immense cube surged forward, brimming with anticipation. He relished direct confrontations, and if Luo Feng evades, the clash would be utterly unexciting.

Luo Feng, clad in blood-colored robes, stood his ground, not moving a single step.

Throughout the entire Infinite Hunyuan Space, no living being could force him to evade! Luo Feng was genuinely curious about the so-called "Strongest-Level of Destructive power at Close Range"!

Just how formidable is it?

"Boom---"

"Hmm?" Luo Feng carefully sensed the impact as the immense cube's "apex" collided with his Protective Energy Layer.

This protective layer, fueled by 1.08 billion Origin Core's energy, was formed from the mysteries of the Hunyuan Life and Death Dao. Empowered by the Blood Crane Territory, it possessed attributes such as "Immortal" and "Shadow."

"Sizzle, Sizzle, Sizzle..." 

The moment the apex touched the Protective Energy Layer, it caused the layer to collapse inward, with its sharpest point effortlessly piercing through. It then penetrated Luo Feng's blood-colored robes, piercing his skin, tendons, and bones...

"This..."

"Truly remarkable."

Although Luo Feng had clashed with the Fourth Sculpture of the Mountain of Destruction, that sculpture didn't needed to resort to such crude tactics.

He had never experienced such "pure" methods before.

The apex of the peculiar cube! Its "sharpness" transcended the limits of the Infinite Hunyuan Space theory!

That single point possessed an inconceivable destructive power. In terms of sheer destructive force, even the combined efforts of dozens of Hunyuan Ancestors would fall far short.

However, it also has a fatal flaw----

This razor-sharp point was smaller than the smallest unit recognized by the Infinite Hunyuan Space theory.

It's important to note that Luo Feng's body is immensely vast, comprising one-third the size of a "normal Origin World"!

Moreover, his entire body lacks vital points.

Consequently, even if this "smallest point" pierced through any obstacles, the damage it inflicted upon Luo Feng remained minimal.

"Although it has an indestructible point, its range of effect is too narrow," Luo Feng observed.

The peculiar cube's apex had stabbed into him, its edges razor-sharp and its overall power was also formidable. Although It had managed to burrow into his body, but ultimately became lodged.

The energy loss from this attack was trivial, swiftly replenished by Luo Feng's energy reserves.

"Luo Feng, do you dare to clash with me head-on? I like opponents like you," Mo Xu said, his excitement surging as his fondness for Luo Feng rapidly grew.

He had once fought Lord Xingmang, who stood before him, but he couldn't touch or hurt him at all!

Lord Xingmang had never engaged in such a foolish, direct confrontation.

And "Shazhou" could transform into Endless Flame, omnipresent and equally impossible to confront head-on.

Luo Feng's immense power and willingness to engage in direct combat naturally delighted Mo Xu.

"I also like an opponent like you," Luo Feng replied, rapidly grasping the essence of Mo Xu's "Extreme Point" technique. That single point, infinitely small, was invincible! Its power stemmed from its extreme minuteness.

"That sharp point isn't made of matter, but of laws."

"At a point that transcends theoretical limits, no matter or energy can exist independently. Only laws can endure there, forming an incredibly destructive focal point."

"The laws governing this point are formed by the intricate entanglement of the mysteries of the Extreme Power and Destruction Power."

Luo Feng's Hunyuan Blade Dao also pursued a destructive power capable of slaying all things. However, compared to Mo Xu' innate talent, his own capabilities paled in comparison.

"Be careful!" Mo Xu roared, his voice shaking heaven and earth as he charged forward, clashing repeatedly with Luo Feng.

Luo Feng met each attack head-on, carefully studying his opponent's destructive techniques.

"My Extreme Point is invincible, but it's too small! Even when I destroy a part of my enemy, the damage is minimal," Mo Xu thought, feeling increasingly powerless as he fought Luo Feng.

"Kafuxiu told me... he once saw a Sculpture that I could evolve into."

"Split myself? Into 125 versions of myself? I've tried before. Whenever I split, each fragment becomes too weak, and my overall power also decreased instead of increasing." Mo Xu pondered evolution strategies.

Even with Kafuxiu's guidance, showing him a potential path, he still didn't understand how to evolve in that direction. And even if he did evolve, how would he become stronger?

"I understand now!"

Luo Feng, who had long mastered the Severing Power and possessed profound cultivation in the Hunyuan Blade Dao, finally glimpsed the subtle mysteries of "Sharpness" after countless clashes with Mo Xu.

Mo Xu possessed such devastating power because he was born imbued with the "Power of Extremity" and "Power of Destruction". This granted him,his terrifying destructive force, while the Power of Extremity also endowed him with the ability to be Immortal.

Mo Xu and the Chu Shi Hunyuan Ancestor represents two extremes. But even the slightest enhancement of either's power was immensely difficult, because their power had been perfect from the beginning.

What Luo Feng had glimpsed were merely fragments of the parts of Mysteries of Destruction.

He was unable to fully grasp Mo Xu' innate capabilities.

After his observation, Luo Feng resumed testing other techniques of the Hunyuan Blade Dao.

After having enjoyed the battle, Mo Xu also summoned 90 Realm Envoys to jointly besiege him. Even combined, however, they proved no match for him.

Within Luo Feng's Blade Formation, the Realm Envoys were easily crushed.

Then, at a certain moment, Mo Xu suddenly halted, hovering motionless as if lost in thought.

The Realm Envoys, still following their earlier orders, continued to surround and attack Luo Feng.

Seeing his opponent in a daze, Luo Feng didn't disturb him.

With a single step, he traversed space and time, escaping the Realm Envoys and ascending to the 23rd level.

.........

This confrontation had been within the expectations of all factions in the Infinite Hunyuan Space. Mo Xu' weaknesses were obvious; no one believed he could stand up to Luo Feng!

The 23rd, 24th, and 25th levels of the Abyss of Destruction.

These are the levels that Yuan, Bingfeng Hunyuan Ancestor, Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor, and Mo Xu attempted to pass but failed.

Luo Feng advanced through each level, honing his blade techniques, and effortlessly cleared these three levels to reach the 26th level of Abyss of Destruction.

This is also where Lord Xingmang resides.

Luo Feng temporarily settled on the 26th level, but he did not engage with Lord Xingmang, much to the disappointment of the Hunyuan Ancestors observing from afar.

..........

Land of Origin...

Lord Yuan, Lord Jin, Lord Wu Lan, Lord Minghuang, Lord Naigu, Lord Xingmang, and Lord Moman - the seven Lords - met with Luo Feng.

"Luo Feng," Yuan said with a smile, "are you looking for opponents?"

"Sparring between Lords doesn't need to be publicized," Lord Xingmang said with a smile, "The seven of us will face you one by one."

Lord Jin also looked at Luo Feng.

"I want to see which of us has the superior Dao of Destruction!"

The Lords understood each other well.

They all knew that Luo Feng had become a Lord through the Hunyuan Life and Death Dao, centered around "Life."

Therefore, his second Hunyuan-level Dao - necessarily the easiest for him to cultivate - must be the Dao of Destruction.

"Among the seven of us, I was the last to become a Lord," Lord Moman said with a smile, "I'll go first!"

Luo Feng smiled.

"Thank you all, I won't refuse!"

During his time in the Abyss of Destruction, he hadn't fought any Lords.

But in reality, Lords, having mastered at least one Hunyuan-level Dao, possessed the highest combat prowess.

Thus...

In the Land of Origin, the eight Lords, each maintaining a reserve of ten percent energy reserves, engaged in one-on-one confrontation.

These clashes made Luo Feng acutely aware of the threats posed by the other Lords' Hunyuan Daos! While their energy reserves might be far inferior to his, in their areas of expertise, they far surpassed him.

These battles served as tests of his Hunyuan Blade Dao from various angles.

Through these trials, Luo Feng's understanding deepened, and his vision of the Hunyuan Blade Dao also became more clear.

............

Abyss of Destruction, 26th Level.

Luo Feng, sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and saw Lord Xingmang in the distance.

"If you wish, you should be able to establish the Hunyuan Blade Dao now, right?" Lord Xingmang observed Luo Feng.

"Yes, I can establish the Hunyuan Blade Dao at any time," Luo Feng nodded in acknowledgment.

During his battles with the Eight Lords, he also felt an overwhelming urge to forge the "Hunyuan Blade Dao".

"However, I still have one more battle to fight," Luo Feng said, gazing into the deeper levels of the Abyss of Destruction, "Only after my final clash with Shazhou will be the perfect time to establish the Hunyuan Blade Dao!"

Lord Xingmang smiled and nodded.

"I'm leaving now," Luo Feng said.

With a single step, he advanced to the 27th level.

Shazhou would be his final opponent in this trial, and also the one wielding the most terrifying destructive power.

At this moment, across the Infinite Hunyuan Space, over two hundred Hunyuan Ancestors and Lord-level beings are watching through time and space, unwilling to miss this pivotal battle.
