The Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor was also confident. By harnessing the power of the "Infinite World", he could achieve complete voidification.

In this state of "Absolute Voidification", no physical energy could harm him in the slightest! Of course, in this state, he also couldn't harm his enemies.

However, this state of "Absolute Voidification" was a unique ability exclusive to the "Mysterious Land - Infinite World".

With this ability, the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor was not afraid of Luo Feng at all.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Neither the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor nor Luo Feng held back, and launching their attack with full force.

The entire Chaos Destruction Realm instantly transformed into a Void Labyrinth.

The Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor merged seamlessly with this labyrinth, moving with ghostly stealth, disappearing and reappearing at will, launching frenzied attacks on Luo Feng.

........

This battle drew unprecedented attention from across the Infinite Hunyuan Space.

Everyone knew that the Practitioner Faction and the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction were mortal enemies, locked in a conflict that had raged for epochs.

In the Land of Origin...

Lord Yuan, Lord Jin, Lord Wu Lan, Lord Minghuang, Lord Naigu, Lord Xingmang, and Lord Mo Man observed the battle, keenly invested in their companion Luo Feng's progress.

According to his rapid progress in breaking through with sheer force, they anticipated that it wouldn't be long before Luo Feng comprehends a second Hunyuan-level Dao.

They all eagerly awaited that moment!

"Luo Feng's blade techniques are fierce and violent, but the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor is too bizarre and unpredictable. His strikes can't even touch his," Lord Minghuang said, frowning.

"Brother Luo Feng has unleashed over a hundred strikes, each terrifying in its own, yet none have touched the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor," Lord Wu Lan remarked, shaking his head gently, "Throughout the Infinite Hunyuan Space, only Xingmang surpasses the Infinite Serpent in mastery of the void."

Lord Xingmang nodded in agreement.

"The Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor hasn't even used his Absolute Voidification ability. By manipulating the void alone, he has evaded all of Luo Feng's attacks."

Under the influence of void manipulation, the trajectory of Luo Feng's blade strikes would veer wildly off course.

"Hmm?"

Yuan's eyes lit up.

'Luo Feng's blade technique has changed.' While the power of each strike had diminished, every blade now moved with a life of its own, tracing eerie arcs through time and space.'

They pierced through layers of dimensional barriers, relentlessly targeting the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor hidden within the Void Labyrinth.

Every strike was inevitable.

There was no escape.

No matter how profound the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor's mastery of the void, he couldn't evade them.

"Absolute hits?" Yuan chuckled.

Lord Minghuang, Lord Jin, and Lord Mo Man nodded. Each possessed the ability to achieve absolute accuracy.

"Luo Feng is still somewhat unpracticed," Lord Jin said with a smile, "While maintaining absolute accuracy, he can't unleash the full power of each strike. He needs to learn from me."

"Luo Feng's individual strikes may not be particularly strong," Lord Mo Man remarked, "but his speed is astonishing."

Indeed...

Blade lights filled the air, each imbued with sentience. They split into multiple streams, converging through the fabric of time and space to pierce the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor's form.

The relentless barrage of strikes rapidly depleted the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor's energy, forcing him to rely entirely on the Chaos Destruction Realm's power supply to maintain his peak state.

"Hmph."

The Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor disdained relying on the "Chaos Destruction Realm's energy supply," knowing that such an abundance of energy could never exist in normal external environments.

He began to employ "Absolute Void"!

As Luo Feng's torrential blade lights, resembling a flowing river, descended upon the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor, the serpent completely voidified, suffering no harm whatsoever.

"Hitting doesn't mean you can hurt the opponent," Yuan observed, likening the situation to the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor enduring enemy attacks- attacks that could land but posed no real threat.

Although the "Absolute Void" of the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor couldn't match the Chu Shi Hunyuan Ancestor's perfect invulnerability, his tenacity still ranked among the most formidable.

"There's nothing else we can do," Lord Minghuang said, shaking her head.

"Luo Feng's attacks can't threaten the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor," Lord Naigu remarked.

At this moment, Luo Feng's blade techniques were swift and ferocious, tearing through the entire Chaos Destruction Realm.

He even unleashed the Blade Formation- a formation of fifteen terrifying blade lights that sought to strangle every corner of the Chaos Destruction Realm.

But the Absolutely Voidified Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor watched all this with ease, occasionally seizing opportunities to launch sneak attacks.

"Absolute accuracy can threaten most Hunyuan Ancestors, but some are impervious even when struck." Luo Feng relentlessly tested his techniques on the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor, refining his Hunyuan Blade Dao with each strike.

Suddenly-

Luo Feng swung his blade.

This time, no blade light was visible, impossible to perceive.

Yet on the Absolutely Voidified Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor, scales silently disintegrated.

The Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor froze in shock.

"Severing Life Force is effective," Luo Feng's eyes lit up.

Not slaying the physical body...

Not slaying the soul...

But slaying the vitality!

This was something only Luo Feng, having comprehended the Hunyuan Life and Death Dao, could achieve.

"Sizzle," "Sizzle," "Sizzle".

Luo Feng stood motionless, power surging across his skin as over a hundred Severing Life Force blade lights erupted.

These lights were imperceptible, yet they relentlessly severed the vitality.

The serpent scales on the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor continued to disintegrate, and now even the flesh and muscles began to vanish.

"How is this possible?" The Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor was panicked.

Concealed within the Void Labyrinth and protected by Absolute Void, how could he still be injured?

This scene struck terror into the hearts of many Hunyuan Ancestors.

"Under any circumstances we should not act alone, and reveal our True Body to Luo Feng."

Although every Hunyuan Ancestor possessed tenacious vitality and had developed numerous life-saving secret techniques, Luo Feng's current methods were clearly far too terrifying. They dared not gamble.

To lose that gamble meant absolute annihilation.

"Previously, due to the power of the Great Origin Destruction, I centered my Hunyuan Blade Dao around the Great Destruction System. That was correct."

"But I underestimated the true power of Severing Life Force."

This technique was obtained only after comprehending the Hunyuan Life and Death Dao!

When Luo Feng first became a Lord, his killing methods were weaker, and the full potential of Severing Life Force remained hidden, making it suitable only for bullying World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms.

However, with the gradual refinement of his Hunyuan Blade Dao, the power of Severing Life Force skyrocketed, revealing its true horror.

It was an unavoidable technique.

Unlimited presence?

Absolute Void?

As long as it is a lifeform, none could evade Severing Life Force!

"This technique transmits along vitality, but it's limited by an energy ceiling," Luo Feng pondered.

Vitality sensing is like a channel.

It could transmit the "blade light," but this channel had a limited capacity for energy.

This capacity is determined by Luo Feng's mastery of vitality. As the highest attainments in the Infinite Hunyuan Space when it came to mastery of life, this limit could not be surpassed.

"If I can't raise the energy limit, I'll have to find ways to increase the speed of my strikes, study the mysteries of the blade, and continue enhancing its power," Luo Feng thought.

In the future, when the Blade Dao reaches absolute perfection, its power would likely increase even further.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh--"

As Luo Feng pondered, he also experimented with variations of his blade techniques.

With such an excellent opponent, he naturally wanted to thoroughly test all the techniques he had speculated about.

..........

"How is this possible? Even the Absolute Voidified Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor, whom I couldn't harm, was injured by Luo Feng?" Lord Jin stared in disbelief, "How could Luo Feng have done this?"

In terms of destructive prowess, Lord Jin was far superior.

"It's vitality."

Lord Jin, with his considerable understanding of life, quickly grasped the key.

"He sensed vitality and used his blade light to... Sever it? Sever vitality? How can vitality be severed?"

Lord Jin understood sensing and locking onto vitality, but the concept of "Severing Vitality" defied his comprehension. It far surpassed his accumulated knowledge of life.

"Severing Vitality?"

Among the three Lords who escaped from Blood Crane Territory, Blood Lord, who mastered the supreme life force known as Blood Force, also struggled to understand.

"Through vitality sensing, I can barely transmit a wisp of energy, perhaps enough to gravely wound a World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform. But that feeble wisp of energy... it's utterly insignificant against a Hunyuan Ancestor of the same level!"

The deeper one understands life, the more one comprehends the difficulty of this technique.

"The fusion of two paths is gradually revealing its true power," Lord Xingmang observed with delight, "Life and Destruction, when combined... it's the ultimate master of Destruction Life!"

After having observed countless future timelines, Lord Xingmang had long understood the terrifying potential of this combination.

The fusion of two Hunyuan-level Daos, Life and Destruction, would create a synergy of immense threat.

He had long since concluded that Luo Feng would become the most formidable force in future battles, the core member of the Practitioner Faction's frontline forces!

Luo Feng's blade... would become the sharpest weapon in the entire Practitioner Faction, capable of cleaving through all obstacles!

"The second Dao is gradually taking shape. Soon, very soon," Lord Xingmang's eyes glimpsed the future.

He clearly saw it:

Luo Feng's Hunyuan Blade Dao was on the verge of completion.

..........

No other methods could threaten the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor. Only by sensing his vitality could Luo Feng use the "Severing Life Force" technique.

He unleashed it repeatedly, but the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor, bolstered by Infinite World Power, fought back relentlessly, even trying to conceal his vital energy.

This formidable opponent forced Luo Feng to refine his Severing Life Force technique again and again.

As the Severing Life Force technique grew more perfected, so too did the Hunyuan Blade Dao as a whole.

Eventually, the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor ceased to pose a challenge.

Luo Feng has also become too familiar with his evasive maneuvers.

"Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor, release the Realm Envoy," Luo Feng spoke.

"Make me cooperate?" The Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor scoffed, "While your Severing Life Force can indeed erode my body, outside this world, it would merely force me into a desperate retreat. But here, within the Chaos Destruction Realm, I can absorb energy to maintain my peak power."

"Hmph," Luo Feng snorted coldly, transforming into a terrifying blade of light that tore through the sky, hurtling straight toward the Phantom Origin of this level of the Chaos Destruction Realm.

"If you won't cooperate, I'll seize this level of the Chaos Destruction Realm by force!"

"Forget it!" The voice of the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor rang out, a hint of resignation in his tone. Losing to Lord Luo Feng isn't a disgrace; even Shazhou might not match up to him.

With a sigh, Luo Feng, who had been charging straight toward the Phantom Origin, suddenly faced a barrier: a hundred Realm Envoys materialized before him, each enveloped in blue flames. They immediately converged to besiege him.

"Your words are defiant, but your actions are pragmatic," Luo Feng observed.

After a few breaths of combat, the mysteries he had witnessed on the Mountain of Destruction were confirmed by this real battle.

The Realm Envoys proved utterly useless.
