Lord Naigu currently resided on the tenth level of the Abyss of Destruction.

Lord Naigu, with deep cyan-skinned, looked up as Luo Feng descended, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Luo Feng, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Naigu, you've already reached the tenth level?" Luo Feng replied casually.

After having descending through the Abyss of Destruction level by level, encountering various forms of Destructive Power, he found the levels occupied by Practitioner Lords relatively easy to navigate.

"It's all thanks to that Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor," Lord Naigu sighed.

"His seizure of the 18th level from Kafuxiu sparked a chaotic battle, allowing us to advance as well. The Abyss of Destruction rarely undergoes such changes."

Luo Feng nodded in agreement.

The occupiers benefited from the assistance of Realm Envoys, making it nearly impossible to change the established order unless one possesses overwhelming power like Luo Feng or the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor.

"I've sensed the Abyss of Destruction carefully," Luo Feng asked, "Has Mogusi disappeared?"

"After losing the 18th layer, Kafuxiu bullied the weakened Mogusi. Mogusi, relentlessly pursued by Xingmang, had less than 10% of his life force remaining and couldn't withstand Kafuxiu. In his weakened state, Mogusi is temporarily unqualified to compete for any level," Lord Naigu said with a smile.

Luo Feng listened with satisfaction.

The entire Practitioner Faction harbored hostility toward Mogusi. Yet, looking across the vast Infinite Hunyuan Space, Mogu Si, a master of the highest-level soul power, has only one true nemesis: Lord Xingmang.

Most other factions preferred to avoid antagonizing him.

Mogusi cared nothing for resources, only for the souls of the weak. This made him tolerable to other powers.

Moreover, Mogusi is immortal, his strength can be ranked among the top ten, rivaling figures like the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor, Bingfeng Ancestor, and Yuan. With no attachments to hold him back, who can even dare to provoke him?

Even in his weakened state, few dared to seize his Chaos Destruction Realm, fearing retaliation once Mogusi recovered. Only the solitary Kafuxiu dared to openly challenge him.

"Mogusi is truly terrifying," Lord Naigu lamented, "He wields the highest level of soul power. In the past, no Hunyuan Ancestor or Lord could threaten him. Our Practitioner Faction suffered endless hardships. During the most brutal period, over one-tenth of our Origin Worlds were infiltrated by his power, and countless souls were devoured."

Luo Feng remained silent, his heart heavy with dread.

The souls of living beings in over one-tenth of the entire faction's Origin Worlds had been devoured- which was a catastrophe that no Lord could tolerate.

"Even Xingmang's pursuit of him is arduous," Lord Naigu continued, "They must scour the entire space-time continuum for traces of his presence, and even then, they can only temporarily weaken him. He will inevitably return."

Luo Feng felt utterly helpless.

The highest level of soul power!

Its influence could lurk within the bodies of every living being below the Hunyuan Ancestor-level!

What could he, Luo Feng, possibly do?

The sheer vastness of the Infinite Hunyuan Space and its teeming life rendered him powerless.

"If our Practitioner Faction could produce a Lord who masters the soul path, perhaps we could finally counter him," Lord Naigu thought.

"It's too difficult," Luo Feng said, shaking his head, "Not even a single Ultimate God King Realm Soul Path Practitioner has ever been born."

The complete soul path didn't even exist within the Great Dao contained in the Origin Core of the Origin World, leaving no direct reference point.

Historically, there had been ninety-three Semi-Hunyuan Fusion Path practitioners, but not a single Ultimate God King Realm Soul Path Practitioner!

And even the Ultimate God King Realm Soul Path remained vastly distant from the "Hunyuan level Soul Path".

"Naigu, I need you to arrange all the Realm Envoys to attack me simultaneously to aid my cultivation," Luo Feng said.

"Very well," Lord Naigu replied, immediately mobilizing the Realm Envoys to surround and attack Luo Feng.

Although Lord Naigu, like Lord Jin, had once been a Calamity-Class practitioner, he eagerly befriended Luo Feng. He also understood that Luo Feng, who "broke through with force," might be his greatest asset in obtaining the Hunyuan Ancestor Bloodline.

Lord Naigu would befriend anyone who could help him acquire the Hunyuan Ancestor Bloodline!

Lord Jin, however, remained far more aloof.

Their paths reflected their natures: one, the Hunyuan Bloodline Path, sought to fully encompass all Hunyuan Ancestor Bloodlines; on the other hand, the other, the Hunyuan Destruction Path, is driven by an overwhelming desire for destruction.

..........

The 11th level of the Abyss of Destruction is occupied by the Pu Zhi Hunyuan Ancestor, the third most powerful member of the Ice Peak Faction.

Despite his slender frame, Pu Zhi Hunyuan Ancestor possessed an unyielding spirit.

His combat prowess rivaled that of Lord Moman, Lord Jin, and Lord Minghuang, and his formidable physique gave him a slight edge in overall strength.

Pu Zhi Hunyuan Ancestor also had the worst relationship with the Bingfeng Hunyuan Ancestor among the twelve Immortal beings of the Ice Peak Faction.

"Lord Luo Feng," Pu Zhi Hunyuan Ancestor greeted Luo Feng courteously, "My Pu Zhi Clan has always maintained excellent relations with your Practitioner Faction. Yuan is a dear friend of mine. You are welcome to visit my clan's territory anytime."

"Thank you, Pu Zhi Hunyuan Ancestor," Luo Feng replied.

He also knew that among the twelve Immortal beings of the Ice Peak Faction, Pu Zhi Hunyuan Ancestor and Xiu sawei had the closest ties to the Practitioner Faction, both sharing deep friendships with Yuan.

After all, Xiu sawei's ascension to Immortality status is even linked to Yuan's influence, a debt that forged an extraordinary bond between them.

The primary reason for Pu Zhi Hunyuan Ancestor's amicable relations with the Practitioner Faction stemmed from the intense rivalry between the Pu Zhi Clan and the Icepeak Clan.

As the two most powerful clans within the Ice Peak Faction, they clashed fiercely over resources.

"Do you need Realm Envoys to besiege you?" Pu Zhi Hunyuan Ancestor chuckled smiled!

He had also observed Luo Feng's past movements in the Chaos Destruction Realm, where he had endured sieges lasting one or two Epochs.

"One or two Epochs will be enough. Sorry for the trouble," Luo Feng replied.

Pu Zhi Hunyuan Ancestor nodded and immediately dispatched Realm Envoys to begin the siege with a thought.

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

The 12th, 13th, and 14th levels of the Abyss of Destruction are occupied by Lord Minghuang, Lord Jin, and Lord Moman, respectively.

As members of the Practitioner Faction, they naturally cooperated fully.

"Be careful from now on," Lord Moman warned, "Starting with the 15th level, you'll likely face continuous battles."

Luo Feng nodded.

"I know."

A burning battle intent flared in Luo Feng's eyes. The deeper he went, the more terrifying his opponents would become!

For a battle-loving warrior like Luo Feng, ever since becoming a Lord, every truly challenging fight had become a precious treasure.

"I will cherish each and every opponent," Luo Feng vowed, his gaze blazing with fervor.

Whoosh!

Luo Feng directly traversed space-time, plunging deeper into the Abyss of Destruction.

******

The 15th level of the Abyss of Destruction was shrouded in endless darkness, ruled by the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor, ranked among the top three of the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction.

"Luo Feng?" A massive sphere of black light coalesced, revealing a vaguely humanoid figure within, its form shifting between man and avian.

"Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor," Luo Feng replied, meeting his gaze.

"I've observed your journey through the Abyss of Destruction," the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor said, "You don't seek thorough exploration, but rather need each level's Realm Envoys to besiege you?"

Exploration?

Luo Feng's primary concern was the Destructive Power of each level.

As for exploration, he knows that greater opportunities lays deeper within the Abyss.

There was no need to waste time exploring the shallower Chaos Destruction Realm.

"Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor, would you command all Realm Envoys to attack me?" Luo Feng asked.

"Even though my true body isn't here," the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor's voice echoed across the world, "Yet you, a mere Practitioner Lord, dare ask for my assistance? What a joke!"

Luo Feng nodded with a smile.

"Then I'll have to force your cooperation!"

"Try it," the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor said confidently, "Even without my True Body, you can't harm me."

"Oh."

Luo Feng extended his hand, and the Void-Severing Blade materialized in his grasp.

Although he had ventured through many levels of the Chaos Destruction Realms and even obtained six Weapons of Destruction in his battles with Realm Envoys, none surpassed the Void-Severing Blade in power or possessed any truly unique properties.

"Hmph," the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor sneered, his thoughts instantly summoning two hundred and sixty Purple Flying Beasts.

Each Purple Flying Beast was covered in dense, violet scales etched with countless secret patterns.

Resembling living weapons, they channeled a portion of the highest-level Destructive Power, radiating terrifying power.

Simultaneously, the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor split his essence into black light, which descended upon each beast.

Generally, the Hunyuan Ancestors typically imbued themselves with Power of Chaos Destruction Realm or concentrated it into groups of Realm Envoys!

However, Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor's True Body was not here at this moment, but his power instead was amplifying his "Realm Envoys."

The Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor excelled in the highest-level powers: "Darkness Power" and "Death Power".

The combined Power of these two is known as "Annihilation Power", capable of targeting both physical bodies and souls, making it an exceptionally dangerous power.

Despite not achieving Immortality status, his position among the top three powers in the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction demonstrated the extraordinary nature of his power.

"Kill!"

Two hundred and sixty Realm Envoy flying beasts, each imbued with "Annihilation Power" and fearless in their attacks, besieged Luo Feng.

Combined, these Realm Envoys already possessed eighty to ninety percent of the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor's true strength.

Now, amplified by "Annihilation Power", they surpassed even the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor's full True Body in power.

"Pfft, pfft." Two flying beasts pierced the air with their razor-sharp claws, tearing through Luo Feng's blood-colored robes and sending ripples across the fabric.

Luo Feng sensed the damage from these attacks, and casually retaliated.

His blade flashed like silk threads, effortlessly slicing through dozens of Purple Flying Beasts. This caused the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor, who had empowered the beasts, to pale.

"Even with my amplification, these Realm Envoys are so fragile before him?" the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor thought in disbelief.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft."

Luo Feng wasn't even using his full strength.

He merely studied the mysteries of the Destructive Power in the attacks while testing his counterattacks. Yet, large number of flying beasts plummeted from the sky.

"These Realm Envoys, amplified by my power, are now slightly stronger than my True Body. Yet they have no resistance against Luo Feng?" The Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor trembled inwardly.

The blade's light appeared restrained, yet it was utterly indestructible, capable of cleaving through anything.

At its touch, everything was instantly severed in two!

Luo Feng frowned and gazed at the dozen or so Purple Flying Beasts scattered around him.

"Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor," Luo Feng said, "I request that you command all Realm Envoys to launch a full-scale attack on me. I need them to maintain this attack for at least one or two Epochs! If you refuse to cooperate, I'll have no choice but to forcibly seize this Chaos Destruction Realm."

Luo Feng had no interest in claiming dominion over this Chaos Destruction Realm.

"I am powerless to resist," the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor replied. "I will cooperate."

At that moment, the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor realized that Practitioner Lord Luo Feng possessed a surprisingly reasonable temperament. Despite his overwhelming power, he hadn't simply seized the Chaos Destruction Realm.

The Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor ceased amplifying the Realm Envoys' power. With a single thought, he commanded them to launch a relentless attac6. Whenever a Realm Envoy fell, its power would immediately coalesce into a new one, ensuring an endless stream of attackers.

Luo Feng remained immersed in his cultivation, paying no further attention to the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor.

"This Luo Feng doesn't even consider me a threat anymore," the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor thought, his emotions complex.

As one of the top three Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction members, he had claimed greater depths in the Abyss of Destruction than most. Those who had surpassed him are universally recognized as being among the top ten.

"What?! The Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor was so easily defeated by Lord Luo Feng?"

"Even if it wasn't his True Body, with the combined power of the Realm Envoys, he shouldn't have been so vulnerable."

Several powerful beings had witnessed the clash between Luo Feng and the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor.

The Practitioner Lords, along with Hunyuan Ancestors Ruyue, wugu, and others, were already on the fifteenth level of the Abyss of Destruction. A clash between two such powerful beings at this depth was bound to attract attention.

"Lord Luo Feng's strength has surpassed even his performance during the war between the two factions!"

"The Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor wasn't using his True Body! His power was limited. From the sixteenth level onward, everything will change. The occupiers there are all ranked among the top ten, and every one of them is using their True Bodies."

"A True Body combined with a Realm Envoy is nearly unbeatable unless there's a massive disparity in power or they are completely restrained. Otherwise, victory is impossible."

Many Hunyuan Ancestors observed the battle, eagerly anticipating even greater clashes to come.

The seven Practitioner Lords also noticed the improvement in their companion Luo Feng's strength.

"Luo Feng, have you already comprehended the second Hunyuan Dao?" Yuan asked excitedly through telepathy.

"Not yet! I've merely grasped a form of Destructive Power," Luo Feng replied.

Yuan was still surprised.

Two different types of highest-level power, when combined effectively, could unleash tremendous power.

Luo Feng possessed a Hunyuan level Dao paired with Destructive Power, giving him a far more robust foundation. Moreover, his powers- life and destruction- complemented each other perfectly for combat.

Luo Feng was attracting more and more attention.

"Luo Feng?"

On the 16th level of the Abyss of Destruction....

Kafuxiu currently held Dominion over this level.

Clad in white battle armor, Kafuxiu's gaze pierced through space-time, focusing on Luo Feng cultivating on the 15th level.

His eyes burned with unprecedented fervor!

A solitary figure, Kafuxiu is renowned as the most battle-hungry warrior in the Infinite Hunyuan Space. Combat is the greatest joy in his long life!

A fierce, exhilarating battle is Kafuxiu's ultimate dream!

"Luo Feng, the 16th level won't be so easy to conquer!" Kafuxiu already anticipated the imminent clash with growing excitement.
