In the blink of an eye, Luo Feng had been in seclusion on the seventh level of the Abyss of Destruction for over three hundred Epochs.

A hidden place, within the territory of the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction....

A colossal sphere of light pulsed rhythmically, expanding and contracting.

The terrifying energy fluctuations emanating from it spread across an ever-widening area, causing fear among the surrounding Innate Hunyuan lifeforms.

"What's happening?"

"Has the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor lost control?"

The five Hunyuan Ancestors and over a thousand World-level Hunyuan Lifeforms under the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor's command turned their gazes toward the true form of Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor.

Even during cultivation, the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor does not bother to conceal himself.

Instead, he manifested as a colossal sphere of light, its radiance illuminating the vast expanse of space and the countless lifeforms within it.

"This is...?" The five Hunyuan Ancestors and over a thousand World-level Hunyuan lifeforms who dared to gaze directly at the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor Ancestor's true form noticed black patterns spreading across the surface of the colossal sphere of light.

The sphere, once brimming with endless light, was now being consumed by these dark, serpentine patterns.

The writhing black patterns resembled grotesque, serpentine creatures.

As soon as they saw them, these dark serpents burrowed into the minds of the observers, infiltrating their bodies and souls.

"Ah, ah- " Over a thousand World-level Hunyuan lifeforms desperately realized that a terrifying pollution was engulfing them, drowning them.

After having followed the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor for ages, they were accustomed to gazing upon his true form.

In the past, the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor's true form emitted minimal pollution, posing no threat to World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms.

"Do not look directly!"

"Do not look directly at the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor's true form!" the five Hunyuan Ancestors urgently commanded.

They were immune to pollution themselves, they could clearly discern that the grotesque black patterns were, in fact, profoundly mystical black runes.

It's just that the runes contained such profound mysteries that even a brief, close-range gaze could severely pollute World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms.

"These thousand World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms are heavily polluted."

"Let them fend for themselves. Those who resist the pollution will survive; those who fail will perish."

The five Hunyuan Ancestors cared little for these World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms, their attention fixed on the colossal sphere of light.

The sphere, now writhing with countless black runes, had become monstrously terrifying, it's aura far more dreadful than before.

"What happened to the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor?"

"His true form's pollution has never been this terrifying."

The five Hunyuan Ancestors were confused.

While the true form of the Hunyuan Ancestor had always possessed polluting properties, it was exceedingly rare for it to become so potent that even World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms struggled to withstand its gaze.

Suddenly-

The colossal sphere of light expanded violently, transforming in an instant into an incomparably dazzling radiance that utterly annihilated vast territories in all directions!

Fortunately, the earlier commotion had deterred any living beings from lingering nearby.

The shockwave radiated outward, reaching the five Hunyuan Ancestors observing from afar. Even these beings felt a faint discomfort.

As the wave continued to propagate across space-time, High-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms in distant regions were instantly pulverized upon contact with its residual energy. Lower-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms were completely annihilated, their essence dissolving into pure energy.

"This terrifying power rivals seventy to eighty percent of Lord Luo Feng's self-destruction!" the five Hunyuan Ancestors exclaimed in shock.

Although the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor ranked among the top three Innate Hunyuan Sovereigns, he had never displayed such overwhelming power before!

"Hahaha..."

Accompanied by a loud laugh, a sphere of light reappeared, its surface rippling with energy.

"I attempted a self-destruction, but alas, I could only recover less than ten percent of my original form afterward. My regenerative abilities pale in comparison to Luo Feng's."

"Wu Jin, you can self-destruct?" The five Hunyuan Ancestors were incredulous.

Hunyuan Ancestors possessed vulnerable Life Cores, making self-destruction techniques generally too risky to employ.

"I must thank Lord Luo Feng for advancing my 'Endless Light' to a new level. Now my Life Core has also transformed into Endless Light, truly achieving immortality! Hahaha... hahahaha..." The Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor was overjoyed, his booming laughter echoing through the vast, boundless space.

He showed no concern whatsoever, even after testing his self-destruction technique, which had devastated countless weaker Hunyuan Lifeforms.

"Immortality?" The five Hunyuan Ancestors exclaimed in astonishment and delight.

"Congratulations, Brother Wu Jin!"

They were filled with joy and envy. Before this, only four Hunyuan Ancestors in the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction had reached the Realm of Immortality. Now, the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor had also joined their ranks.

"Brother Wu Jin, what are your plans now?" one of the Ancestors asked.

"Naturally, I must prove my strength to the Infinite Hunyuan Space to secure a seat in the Eternal Land," the colossal sphere of light said in a resounding voice.

In the Practitioners' Faction, any newly ascended Lord automatically gained a seat in the Eternal Land.

However, the Hunyuan Ancestors faced a different reality. Most lacked such positions, and even after breaking through, they had to demonstrate their power to the outside world to earn recognition.

"The simplest way to prove my strength is to slaughter my way deeper into the Chaos Destruction Realm!" the colossal sphere of light said, brimming with battle spirit.

.....

The Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor originally occupied the fourteenth level of the Abyss of Destruction.

In truth, his strength is comparable to Lord Moman's, and he can go deeper than Lord Mo Man is primarily because of the advantage of first occupation.

After achieving a breakthrough, the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor began venturing into deeper levels.

The fifteenth level was home to his old friend, the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor, whom he chose not to challenge.

The sixteenth level was occupied by Mogus. Driven to madness, the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor forced Mogus to mobilize all Realm Envoys to fight him together.

Now bathed in Endless Light, the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor radiated terrifying power.

Single-handedly, he completely suppressed Mogus and the combined forces of the Realm Envoys, forcibly reaching the "Phantom of the Origin". Yet instead of leaving a Life Mark, he continued to the next level with a thunderous laugh.

The seventeenth level was ruled by the Feather Emperor!

The Feather Emperor also wielded two supreme powers: Light Power and Feather Power. Like the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor, he could be omnipresent, his movements equally elusive.

Moreover, the Feather Emperor was bolstered by the Feather Realm and now commanded the combined power of all Realm Envoys.

In the ensuing clash, the Feather Emperor's formidable combat prowess allowed him to withstand the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor's onslaught.

"Even with the Realm Envoys' combined efforts, we barely managed to suppress him," the Feather Emperor realized, "In a one-on-one fight, I would be at a disadvantage. his Endless Light is far more powerful than before!"

The eighteenth level was occupied by Kafuxiu.

The Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor clashed with Kafuxiu! Kafxiu was formidable in close combat and had the support of all the Realm Envoys.

However, his agility was far inferior.

The Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor used a portion of his power to restrain Kafuxiu while repelling the Realm Envoys, forcibly imprinting his mark upon the Phantom of the Origin and successfully claiming the eighteenth level.

The Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor had already sensed that while he had barely managed to seize the eighteenth level through strategic maneuvers, the nineteenth level was the flawless "Yuan," and each subsequent level would be increasingly difficult to conquer. his chances of claiming them were slim.

"I actually lost," Kafuxiu muttered, deeply frustrated.

He had no excuses.

After having lost even with the Realm Envoys' assistance, what justification could he offer?

The Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor was simply too much for him! The combination of his Endless Power and Light Power formed the Endless Light, which had been formidable in the past but now possessed a clearly elevated level of power.

Under his restraint, Kafuxiu couldn't break through the levels of light even for a moment, forced to watch helplessly as he crushed the Realm Envoys and seized the Phantom of the Origin.

Nineteenth Level! The Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor battled Yuan.

Yuan's Hunyuan Rules operated, uniting the entire Chaos Destruction Realm into a single entity. The Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor couldn't even breach the barrier. Even without mobilizing the Realm Envoys, Yuan completely blocked Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor.

"The Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor has grown even stronger," Yuan said solemnly, watching it advance to the next level, "His Endless Light now erupts with terrifying power. Moreover, his Life Core has merged with the light, leaving no vulnerabilities."

If the Life Core still existed as a physical entity, Yuan's formation would have detected it without fail.

From the twentieth level onward, the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor Ancestor attempted to advance but failed each time.

However, it was now clear that his strength rivaled that of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, Yuan, and the Moxu.

But only because he was a later arrival he had been limited to claiming the eighteenth Chaos Destruction Realm.

......

"The Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor has broken through, and reached the Realm of Immortality and even claimed the 18th level of the Abyss of Destruction?" Luo Feng, who was in seclusion, received the news, with a little surprised.

In the war between the two factions, the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction had devoured the vast Origin Essence of Origin Worlds from hundreds of world clusters, giving rise to several new Hunyuan Ancestors.

While the Practitioners' Faction paid little attention to these ordinary Hunyuan Ancestors, the birth of an Immortal being was a matter of utmost importance to all eight Lords.

The Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor's power had now reached the same level as Yuan!

"The Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction has grown even stronger," Luo Feng thought, feeling the pressure.

After all, in the Infinite Hunyuan Space, his faction and the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction were natural enemies.

******

The Eternal Land also welcomed its 30th member: the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor.

Upon his first arrival, all 29 other members descended in their clones.

"Last time it was Lord Luo Feng, and now it's the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor. War truly breeds the strongest," Moxu remarked.

"Although the war between the two factions claimed some Hunyuan Ancestors, but it also birthed two Immortal beings," Infinite Serpent Ancestor said leisurely, clearly pleased.

The Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor's breakthrough significantly enhanced the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction's deterrent power.

Moreover, lacking a clan, he had no need to compete for resources with ordinary races.

"Lord Luo Feng," the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor addressed him directly.

Luo Feng turned to face him.

"I owe my breakthrough to the Realm of Immortality to you," the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor declared, his voice resonating with power.

"Your self-destruction technique provided the catalyst. Only then did the Endless Light undergo its qualitative transformation."

Seated calmly, Luo Feng replied, "No need to thank me. Your accumulated potential was already sufficient."

After the gathering concluded, Luo Feng dispersed his clone and resumed his seclusion.

He also declined to attend the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor's celebratory banquet.

Instead, the Practitioners' Faction sent Yuan, Jin, and Mo Man to represent them.

Luo Feng's absence left the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor visibly disappointed.

......

Luo Feng remained in secluded cultivation, a retreat that had now lasted over five hundred Epochs.

His Hunyuan Blade Dao had already taken shape, with a complete framework and a prototype form.

He had comprehended over ninety percent of it.

Upon arriving at the Abyss of Destruction, he meticulously studied the seven supreme Destructive Powers, deepening his understanding.

Seventh Level of the Chaos Destruction Realm.

Within his cultivation cave, Luo Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze radiating a terrifying sharpness- the pinnacle of power within the Dao of Destruction.

"Finally comprehended it!" Luo Feng felt a surge of joy. Though still some distance from perfecting the Hunyuan Blade Dao, he had finally grasped one of its supreme powers: "The Severing Power".

The Severing Power, embodying the pursuit of destruction, would greatly compensate for his weaknesses.
