***********************************
As Luo Feng descended to the 16th level of the Abyss of Destruction, over thirty Ancient Beings across the Infinite Hunyuan Space turned their attention to the battle, including the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor and Bingfeng Hunyuan Ancestor, all of them regarded this battle with utmost importance.
"Although I'm slightly stronger than Kafuxiu alone, if he teams up with the Realm Envoy, I'd be at a disadvantage," Bingfeng Hunyuan Ancestor thought, his eyes were cold.
As one of the highest-ranking figures in the Infinite Hunyuan Space, his power ranked among the top tier, and with Sha Zhou's unwavering support, his authority is undeniable.
However, the Practitioner Faction that had once aligned with him was growing increasingly powerful, and the Bingfeng Hunyuan Ancestor was naturally very unhappy.
"This battle will reveal Luo Feng's true strength," Bingfeng Hunyuan Ancestor observed coldly.
Kafuxiu's strength is universally acknowledged.
He had previously occupied the 18th level of the Abyss of Destruction.
After the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor's breakthrough, even his attempt to seize the 17th level failed. The Feather Emperor and many Realm Envoys joined forces to suppress him.
In a direct confrontation, the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor held a slight edge over Kafuxiu, but he still couldn't withstand Kafuxiu and the Realm Envoy's combined attack.
At that time, the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor relied on his "omnipresent" advantage to restrain Kafuxiu and seize control of the Phantom Origin first.
"Kafuxiu and the Realm Envoy's combined strength rivals that of the Mo Xu," the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor remarked, observing from afar.
"This should be enough to gauge Luo Feng's true capabilities."
If the Infinite Hunyuan Space were forced to choose a "third strongest," it would undoubtedly be Mo Xu!
While "Chu Shi Hunyuan Ancestor" represents the "Pinnacle of Defense", Mo Xu embodies the "Ultimate of Destruction".
It is only because of his weaknesses in agility and clumsy techniques that kept him noticeably weaker than Lord Xingmang and Shazhou.
"I've broken through. Has Luo Feng also broken through?" The Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor observed.
Luo Feng's battle had stirred something within him, allowing him to finally reach the Realm of Immortality.
This achievement, forged through their Immortal bond, earned Luo Feng a new level of respect from the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor.
Of course, as members of opposing factions, the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor felt no genuine gratitude. Yet, among the two hundred-plus Hunyuan Ancestors and Lord-level beings in the Infinite Hunyuan Space, Luo Feng stood out as truly exceptional.
"I grow stronger, and Luo Feng grows stronger too. The Practitioner Faction truly is the greatest threat to my Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction," the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor thought.
"The Practitioner Faction is growing even more powerful," the Grey-Robed Woman, Shazhou, observed from the 27th level- the deepest point in the Abyss of Destruction within the Infinite Hunyuan Space.
"In the near future, I am afraid that they might completely surpass the Ice Peak Faction."
The Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction has half of all Hunyuan Ancestor-level beings, with new Ancestors constantly emerging.
The Practitioner Faction, rooted in countless Origin Worlds, is also nurturing Lords one by one! Each Lord is an existence who had comprehended the "Hunyuan Dao", making them individually formidable, and even more terrifying when united.
As both factions continued to strengthen, the Ice Peak Faction gradually fell behind.
.........
Luo Feng sensed over thirty gazes fixed on him, and he could even trace their origins.
"My confrontation with Kafuxiu has truly attracted quite a few existences," Luo Feng thought inwardly.
Previous confrontation had never attracted so many powerful observers.
Finally, he broke through levels of space-time barriers and entered the deeper 16th level.
The 16th level was a Chaos Destruction Realm teeming with countless massive, dark cyan plants. These colossal flora thrived in this realm, their dense growth covering every surface.
A figure stood atop the crown of the most majestic tree- Kafuxiu!
Clad in White Battle Armor, Kafuxiu gazed at Luo Feng with burning intensity.
"Lord Luo Feng, come and fight me!" Kafuxiu's voice boomed across the Chaos Destruction Realm.
"If you give me a satisfying battle, even if you lose, I'll arrange all Realm Envoys to assist in your cultivation. But if you're too weak, I'll simply banish you!"
Luo Feng met Kafuxiu's gaze.
Their eyes locked across the distance, each understanding the other's intentions.
"I relish the thrill of battle, but this Kafuxiu... he was born for it!" Luo Feng could sense this keenly.
His own heart held family and his race, but Kafuxiu's only had battle in his heart.
"I hope you're not like that Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor, just trying to stall me and hide. That would be utterly boring," Kafuxiu said, his gaze fixed on Luo Feng.
"Fight me head-on! If you can gain the upper hand, I'll give you this entire Chaos Destruction Realm!"
"Rest assured, I'll fight you head-on," Luo Feng nodded, summoning the Void-Severing Blade with a wave of his hand.
"Hahahaha!"
A thunderous laugh echoed through the Chaos Destruction Realm, as Kafuxiu moved, a colossal hand, large enough to blot out half the sky, descended like an endless, towering mountain range, distorting the very fabric of the Chaos Destruction Realm.
Boom!
Luo Feng stood firm, casually swinging his blade.
The blade's arc flashed like a celestial whip, tearing through the sky and cleaving the Chaos Destruction Realm itself.
The strike landed squarely on the massive hand, splitting it open. Blood gushed forth in torrents, forming blood lakes across the shattered landscape.
A torrential downpour of blood enveloped Luo Feng, the blood liquid coiling around him like serpents, binding him layer upon layer.
"Break!"
Luo Feng stood motionless.
With hiis body as the center, thousands of blade light erupted, radiating outward in all directions.
The countless blades sliced through the blood, annihilating it, and even severed the approaching hand.
The blood and severed hand fragments transformed into energy, which surged back into Kafuxiu's distant body.
"It can actually wound my body... Luo Feng, your blade is indeed formidable," Kafuxiu remarked, standing tall.
The white battle armor covering his body began to spread, engulfing his hands, head, and eventually his entire form, leaving only his eyes glowing with a white light.
With a swift movement, Kafuxiu closed the distance to Luo Feng, initiating close-combat.
Each of Kafuxiu's fingers contained power of the Chaos Destruction Realm, their strength terrifyingly immense and their sharpness unparalleled, capable of inflicting catastrophic damage.
Even Lord Jin, had been overwhelmed in direct combat.
Kafuxiu's combat techniques had nearly reached the Hunyuan level of Dao, his entire body as a living weapon.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Wielding the Void-Severing Blade, Luo Feng's Hunyuan Blade Dao was beginning to take shape. His blade techniques were also bery comprehensive, further enhanced by the boundless sharpness of his "Severing Power".
Instead of overwhelming Kafuxiu with his endless energy from the start, Luo Feng sought to refine his blade techniques.
The Void-Severing Blade clashed with Kafuxiu's body countless times. Each strike against the White Battle Armor was weakened by the armor's defenses, leaving Kafuxiu unscathed.
"Compared to Kafuxiu's combat techniques, my blade techniques are still too immature," Luo Feng realized.
"My control over the 1.8 billion Origin Cores is still too clumsy, which is preventing me from truly unleashing my potential."
By sparring with Kafuxiu, the most skilled combatant in the Infinite Hunyuan Space, Luo Feng immediately identified the many imperfections in his Hunyuan Blade Dao.
He channeled his energy to ensure each blade strike carried slightly greater force than Kafuxiu's attacks, but Kafuxiu compensated with his superior combat techniques.
On the surface, the battle appeared evenly matched.
"Hahaha, hahahaha..." Kafuxiu, however, was thoroughly enjoying the confrontation, his laughter echoing through the space.
Despite exhausting every tactic and giving his all, the back-and-forth exchanges are exhilarating.
If the battle had been one-sided, with Luo Feng completely overwhelming Kafuxiu, Kafuxiu might have gained some insights, but the thrill of the battle would have been greatly diminished.
What he craved was a clash of equals, a battle where their strengths are closely matched. And it had to be a head-on confrontation, a true test of skill and power.
"Whether you win or lose, Luo Feng, I'll gift you this entire Chaos Destruction Realm!" Kafuxiu roared with laughter, "From this day onwards, you are my friend!"
"Brother Luo Feng, let's have a proper battle!" Kafuxiu reveled in the fight.
It had been far too long since he'd experienced such a exhilarating clash.
"Kafuxiu, from this day onwards, you are my friend as well!" Luo Feng had also gained immensely from this battle.
The Hunyuan Blade Dao requires exceptional combat techniques, and Kafuxiu is undoubtedly the foremost master of battle techniques.
Throughout their exchanges, Luo Feng continuously absorbed insights, gradually refining his Hunyuan Blade Dao.
This manifested in the battle as Luo Feng's energy bursts remained unchanged, yet his combat prowess steadily improved. The destructive force of his blade grew increasingly potent.
One day, two days, three days...
Their battle raged from the skies to the depths of the forests, then plunged into the earth's depths, their clashes echoing through diverse environments.
They were both relishing the battle.
"Excellent, excellent!" Kafuxiu fought with unparalleled exhilaration.
His opponent's strength gradually increased, slowly ratcheting up the pressure on him.
This forced Kafuxiu to tap into his own latent combat potential.
Occasionally, the fusion of the two highest-level powers he wielded would unleash a miraculous technique!
Under this pressure, each time he comprehended a new technique, Kafuxiu felt a profound joy welling up from the depths of his heart.
This repeated surge of joy made the battle immensely enjoyable for him.
After all, he hadn't encountered such a worthy opponent in countless years.
He had once believed that Lord Jin, who had comprehended the aspect of the Hunyuan Destruction Dao, would be a suitable rival.
But who would have thought that Lord Jin was kind of person who would resort to any means to secure victory, even ambushing Kafuxiu while he was fighting other opponents for opportunities.
Kafuxiu had always despised those who resorted to ambushes.
He preferred honorable, head-on combat!
As for victory or defeat, he cared little for either; what truly matters to him is the thrill of the battle itself.
Even in defeat, he would laugh heartily.
As for underhanded tactics, ambushes, or scheming? Kafuxiu held them in utter contempt.
In his view, since they are already Immortal, why bother about winning or losing? They should simply revel in the passion of battle!
..........
The battle had raged for over an Epoch.
This was no longer an ordinary clash; it was a mutual cultivation between Luo Feng and Kafuxiu, both reveling in the gains the combat brought.
"In a direct confrontation, Luo Feng completely overwhelms Kafuxiu!"
"His strength now rivals that of the Bingfeng Hunyuan Ancestor and the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor."
The number of Ancient beings observing the battle continued to grow. These beings possessed the ability to divide their consciousness into countless fragments, allowing them to monitor the battle indefinitely with minimal effort. They meticulously gathered data to assess the true strength of Luo Feng and Kafuxiu.
"Brother Luo Feng, I know your strength is far more than this. You don't have to hold back for me!" Kafuxiu laughed, "Unleash your full power! Let me truly experience your true strength!"
Kafuxiu's combat prowess is unparalleled.
From their confrontation, he could sense Luo Feng was suppressing his full potential.
"Very well," Luo Feng replied.
"I'll end this battle with my newly comprehended killing technique!"
He held genuine respect for Kafuxiu; their prolonged clash had greatly refined his Hunyuan Blade Dao.
"Come on," Kafuxiu said, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Luo Feng drew his blade!
The First Blade, the blade strike was a dark, heavy slash, as if the endless earth itself were crushing down. This single strike made the watching Ancient beings tremble, because it contained one-tenth of Luo Feng's total energy reserves! The moment the blade strike touched Kafuxiu's body, Luo Feng's second strike was already unleashed.
The Second Blade, the second blade strike blazed with dazzling brilliance, as if the most radiant light in the universe had materialized. It resembled the splendor of Luo Feng's earlier Great Origin Destruction technique, but this radiant light was far more concentrated, infused with the "Essence of Life" and the mysteries of "Severing Power". The two strikes landed on Kafuxiu in rapid succession.
The Third Blade, The third blade strike surged forth with overwhelming force, like a river of destruction sweeping away all obstacles.
Each of these three blade strikes contained one-tenth of Luo Feng's total energy reserves! Combined, they formed the most perfect killing technique Luo Feng had ever devised.
Kafuxiu urged him to unleash his full power!
To repay his friend's trust, Luo Feng revealed his newly perfected, most devastating killing technique in its entirety!
