***********************************
Each strand of Luo Feng's energy pulsed with extraordinary spiritual awareness, imbued with his very will.
Even after unleashing the Great Origin Destruction, he could still recover 20% of his energy reserves.
"I barely managed to win this time," Luo Feng thought, clad in blood-colored robe as he reflected on the battle.
He had to admit that the Third Sculpture's overall power far surpassed his own current capabilities.
According to the power levels of the Hunyuan Ancestors in the Infinite Hunyuan Space, beings at this level were already Immortal!
Even his Great Origin Destruction posed no threat to them.
In other words, It's only because the Seven Sculptures are part of a trial did they possess the weakness of an Energy Core, giving him a slim chance of victory.
"My blade techniques still fall far short of the Great Origin Destruction's destructive power," Luo Feng thought.
In terms of blade techniques alone, Luo Feng is on par with Lord Xingmang and Shazhou.
However, the Great Origin Destruction, a technique of this level of Power, had severely injured the Giant God Emperor and over twenty Hunyuan Ancestors!
Previously, this single technique had thrown the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction's morale into chaos, ultimately forcing them to cease their attacks.
Once again, Luo Feng had relied on this technique to narrowly defeat the Third Sculpture.
Unfortunately, once someone had seen this trick, they wouldn't fall for it again.
"Huff."
Luo Feng strode forward, approaching the Mountain of Destruction. He reached out and touched it once more.
This time, the touch brought another onslaught of hatred, murderous intent, and soul-shattering visions. Luo Feng's expression grew even more colder.
After enduring the impact, he sensed the information about the Destruction Fruits and other treasures.
"I can now claim three Destruction Fruits, or exchange them for other treasures. Three Destruction Fruits can be exchanged for... can I really get something like that?" Luo Feng was astonished.
A single Destruction Fruit could evolve one's Life Core toward the Dao of Destruction to a certain extent, or it can also be exchanged for a treasure at the level of Kafuxiu's armor.
The treasures obtainable with three Destruction Fruits are a qualitative leap, enough to excite any Hunyuan Ancestor or Practitioner Lord.
"There are only six treasures available for exchange, and you can choose any one of them."
"A seed, a stone, a drop of water, a flame, a glob of golden liquid, and a ray of colorful light."
These six treasures are all undeveloped Mysterious Lands. They can be called Mysterious Lands in their "Embryonic State".
The reason these entities have never matured into a matured Mysterious Lands is because each of them can only breed a single Supreme-Tier Power.
The seed, as Luo Feng sensed, pulsed with boundless vitality and resilience, embodying the Supreme-Tier - Power of Life.
The stone, utterly steadfast and unyielding, contained a Supreme-Tier- Power of Defense.
The remaining four - water, fire, material, and light - each held their respective Supreme-Tier Powers.
"Although these six treasures have not fully developed into true Mysterious Lands within the Infinite Hunyuan Space, their embryonic forms can still be refined and carried personally," Luo Feng realized, after absorbing the information.
Even a relatively ordinary Mysterious Land like the Blood Crane Territory was colossal. It took Luo Feng ten Epochs to move it from its original location to the Origin World of the Origin Continent.
Some particularly massive ones were simply immovable.
These "embryonic" Mysterious Lands, however, could be carried effortlessly.
"Even if a fully formed Mysterious Land is refined and controlled, its full power can only be unleashed within its own domain."
"Once you leave it, you can only borrow a fraction of its power from a distance. If you can increase your strength by thirty percent, that's already a good result."
"But these embryonic forms can be integrated into your body and carried with you, allowing you to wield their full power!"
Even if it only nurtured a single Supreme-Tier Power, being able to access its full potential would still greatly benefit him.
However, since it would be a borrowed power, he wouldn't have a deep understanding of it, unlike the Hunyuan Ancestors who dedicates their entire lives to mastering a specific Supreme-Tier Power.
He estimated he could only unleash about sixty to seventy percent of its true potential.
"If I had to choose, I'd definitely pick something compatible with "Life and Destruction"."
"My defensive capabilities are already strong enough. I'll definitely prioritize offensive power."
All three remaining treasures could aid him.
The Supreme-Tier - Flame Power, when combined with Life and Destruction, would undoubtedly amplify his destructive power to catastrophic levels.
The golden liquid, flowing like a living blade, seemed like a weapon born from the heavens itself.
It contained a Supreme-Tier - Material Power, which would also benefit him.
Crucially, after Life and Destruction, his third greatest aptitude lay in the Material Dao.
Of course, comprehending the Material Dao would be a million times more challenging than mastering Life and Destruction.
That radiant light contained a form of colorful Light Power! Mastering it would grant Luo Feng the ability to be omnipresent, making his blade strikes inescapable and potentially granting him the "guaranteed hit" ability possessed by Lord Minghuang. It would also enhance the power of his blade techniques.
"In terms of immediate power enhancement, that colorful light seems to be the most beneficial for me."
"But from a long-term perspective, for Dao enlightenment, the golden liquid would be more suitable."
Luo Feng pondered for a moment.
"No need to rush. Once I've created the Hunyuan Blade Dao, I can try to defeat the fourth sculpture. And after obtaining another Destruction Fruit, should allow me to exchange for even better treasures."
With this thought, Luo Feng turned his attention to the fourth sculpture: a massive cube composed of 125 smaller cubes.
"This one should be far stronger than the Third Sculpture."
"I'll probably suffer a crushing defeat." Luo Feng anticipated this, yet he still approached the sculpture. His body had fully recovered to peak condition while he was studying the treasure information.
The previous three sculptures had fallen silent. As Luo Feng approached, an aura began to emanate from the colossal cubic sculpture- a presence far more formidable than that of the Mo Xu, its invisible waves locking onto Luo Feng.
Gripping the Void-Severing Blade, Luo Feng braced himself for the challenge.
..........
The 19th layer of the Abyss of Destruction.
"Hmm?"
Yuan suddenly sensed spatial fluctuations.
A familiar figure crossed the void and arrived on this layer. Luo Feng looked disheveled, his energy reserves depleted to less than ten percent, leaving him utterly weakened.
"Luo Feng!" Yuan immediately rushed forward, pressing him with questions.
"Where have you been? You were gone for over thirty Epochs!"
"It's a hidden space-time within the Abyss of Destruction," Luo Feng replied with a smile.
"I'll record all the information about this place and store it in the Land of Origin later."
There was no need to keep this opportunity secret from the other Lords.
However, the entry requirements were exceedingly strict. Including himself, only three so-called "Ultimate Lifeforms" had ever managed to enter!
"Good," Yuan nodded with a grin, his curiosity about this opportunity piqued.
Both Kafuxiu and Luo Feng had encountered their fortunes on the 19th layer of the Abyss of Destruction. As the master of this layer, Yuan couldn't help but wonder why he had never been able to access this hidden space-time himself.
"Why is your breath so weak?" Yuan asked, his voice filled with concern, "Was it very dangerous there?" He knew firsthand how formidable Luo Feng's defenses were, especially after he gained control of the Blood Crane Territory, which had further enhanced his survival capabilities.
But at this moment, Luo Feng's energy reserves were less than ten percent, and his weakened breath was impossible to conceal.
"It wasn't dangerous, it's just, I tortured myself like this," Luo Feng replied with a wry smile, "I just pushed myself too hard."
After all, that place was merely a trial.
Yuan nodded in understanding.
"Are you planning to continue your seclusion or move on to the next layer?"
"I'll stay here for a while," Luo Feng said.
Yuan nodded again and left Luo Feng to his thoughts.
Inside his cultivation cave on the 19th level of the Abyss of Destruction...
Luo Feng sat cross-legged, his mind replaying the battle against the fourth sculpture.
'What a crushing defeat!'
A one-sided annihilation!
He hadn't stood a chance.
He relied solely on his defensive capabilities to endure the onslaught, but enduring such a relentless beating left him deeply frustrated.
He managed to seize a single opportunity to unleash the Great Origin Destruction, but even the cataclysmic explosion was merely able to shatter the massive cube into 125 smaller cubes, scattering them in all directions. Only nine were annihilated; the rest remained intact.
The nine annihilated smaller cubes swiftly reformed, completely unscathed. After having unleashed the Great Origin Destruction, Luo Feng's power plummeted.
He was relentlessly battered by the 125 cubes until his energy reserves dwindled to less than ten percent. At that point, he made a hasty retreat.
After leaving his mark on the Mountain of Destruction, Luo Feng could manifest his clone or travel there in his True Body, and then depart in his True Body.
Luo Feng was unwilling to risk complete annihilation, so he ran away immediately.
With less than ten percent of his energy remaining, it would take only about fifteen minutes of Earth time to fully recover. Being annihilated, however, would make recovery far more troublesome.
"My current strength is still significantly weaker than the Third Sculpture," Luo Feng thought, "Against the Fourth Sculpture, I stand no chance whatsoever. Mastering the Abyss of Destruction will indeed be an absurdly difficult task."
In the Infinite Hunyuan Space, the most mysterious and powerful realms each present an impossibly high barrier to refinement and mastery.
Some even lack any known methods for achieving such control.
Luo Feng immediately split off a portion of his consciousness to record his findings about the Mountain of Destruction, storing the information in the Land of Origin, accessible only to the Lords.
........
"Latest intelligence on the Abyss of Destruction?"
The moment Luo Feng saved the information, Lord Moman noticed the new entry and began reviewing it.
Apart from the fourth sculpture's strength and the details of Luo Feng's battle against it, Luo Feng had meticulously documented every other aspect of the Mountain of Destruction.
"Passing the Sevenfold Trial grants mastery over the Abyss of Destruction?" Lord Moman's eyes lit up, finally understanding how to refine and control the mysterious Abyss of Destruction.
"Including Luo Feng, only three have entered?"
"The first sculpture's strength rivals the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor before his breakthrough?"
"The second sculpture matches the combined power of two Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestors?"
"The third sculpture even suppressed Luo Feng?"
Lord Moman trembled slightly as he read the intelligence.
While obtaining Destruction Fruits through partial trials could be exchanged for valuable treasures- which was a tempting prospect- the difficulty of the Seven Sculptures' trials was simply too daunting.
"Brother Jin, take a look at this intelligence. It was recorded by Brother Luo Feng. You'll find it fascinating," Lord Moman immediately contacted Lord Jin.
"Hmm?"
Lord Jin promptly accessed the intelligence as well.
Lord Jin was deeply intrigued by the Abyss of Destruction. Each Chaos Destruction Realm within it contained a unique Destructive Power, and he had always believed that the Abyss of Destruction was worth his dedicated study.
"So, this is how one Refines and controls the Abyss of Destruction," Lord Jin murmured, studying the intelligence report.
"The Sevenfold Trial... the first trial's opponent is comparable to the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor in his past state?"
Lord Jin's heart skipped a beat.
Before his breakthrough, the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor had been on the 14th level of the Abyss of Destruction, while Lord Jin had been on the 12th.
Although the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor had the advantage of being the "first conqueror," Lord Jin had to admit that their strengths were nearly equal.
"Even if I enter, I might not even pass the first trial?" Lord Jin realized the immense difficulty.
The Mysterious Land, naturally formed within the Infinite Hunyuan Space, had no understanding of the Hunyuan Destruction Path. It followed only one principle: the more powerful one's Destructive Power, the greater it's favor for them.
According to the path naturally formed by the Mysterious Land, Hunyuan Ancestors seeking to advance along the "path of destruction" needes to cultivate 34 distinct types of Destructive Power. Since similar types of Destructive Power offered little additional benefit, these 34 types had to encompass the profound mysteries of dozens of Daos.
This path... was enough to drive any Hunyuan Ancestor to despair.
The Practitioner Lord, Lord Xingmang, who had created two Hunyuan level Daos, and Lord Jin, who had created the Hunyuan Destruction Dao, both failed to enter that hidden realm.
This demonstrates that the mere threshold for entry is exceedingly high.
Controlling it would be even more impossibly difficult.
As a mysterious land devoid of consciousness, it never considered whether the difficulty was excessive, because everything unfolded through natural evolution.
"Kafuxiu and Luo Feng were both guided into the 19th level of the Abyss of Destruction. Perhaps reaching the 19th level is the minimum requirement for entry?" Lord Jin thought.
"Kafuxiu, Luo Feng, and Shazhou all wield a Supreme-Tier Destructive Power. Does this mean that mastering at least one Destructive Power is also a prerequisite for entry?"
According to Luo Feng's recorded intelligence, Kafuxiu had definitely entered the realm, as his battle armor could be exchanged for treasures, just like the Mountain of Destruction. There was also strong suspicion that Shazhou had entered.
After all, the only beings stronger than Kafuxiu who also wields Destructive Power are Mo Xu and Shazhou.
Mo Xu had been born with such power and showed no significant improvement over time.
Shazhou, however, had undergone a period of growth, eventually reaching the pinnacle of the Infinite Hunyuan Space.
"I wield the Hunyuan Destruction Dao, and the power I wield is inherently the supreme-tier - Destructive Power."
"The only problem is my lack of strength," Lord Jin thought.
Hunyuan Ancestors, sought to unlock greater power.
Practitioner Lords, pursued the creation of more Daos.
"My Hunyuan Destruction Dao is 90% destruction and 10% life. I also possess my own understanding of life," Lord Jin pondered.
"But my comprehension of life's mysteries... is insufficient to form a 'Life-Dominant' Dao."
Comprehending a Dao required an immense depth of insight.
Before breaking free from the Cage, Luo Feng was already able to comprehend the Hunyuan Life and Death Dao, which was 70% life and 30% destruction, demonstrating his profound understanding of destruction.
Even after becoming a Lord, he still needed to venture into the Abyss of Destruction to further refine his comprehension of destruction.
As for Lord Jin, his accumulated insight fell far short of what was required.
"I'm even less adept at comprehending other mysteries," Lord Jin lamented, feeling utterly helpless.
This is the nature of cultivation.
Some powerhouses reached their limit at the World-Tier Hunyuan level.
Others could only comprehend a single Hunyuan-level Dao before reaching their limit.
Compared to those who couldn't break free from the Cage, these individuals shone brightly, yet they still possessed their own limitations!
Even Lord Xingmang and Luo Feng, who broke through with sheer force, had their own limitations!
...........
Luo Feng, on the 19th level of the Abyss of Destruction, calmed his mind and gazed outward.
His vision pierced through endless space-time, following the threads of cause and effect.
He saw vast territories: the domains of the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction, the Ice Peak Faction, and the realms of weaker powers.
"On the Mountain of Destruction, I encountered countless killing intents, hatred, and vivid memories, as if I had personally experienced them."
"These scenes were countless, many were from ancient times. Yet there were also ongoing calamities."
"There are 3,916 calamities, and they are still unfolding at this moment."
Luo Feng sat cross-legged and instantly divided his consciousness into 3,916 thoughts, each descending upon those distant territories.
Each thought began to gather power, gradually growing stronger.
Reaching any one of these territories would take dozens of days or even longer to travel!
To resolve 3,916 calamities simultaneously, his True Body couldn't travel fast enough.
Only clones could descend and develop in time.
The 3,916 thoughts slowly gathered power and grew, taking approximately 15 Earth hours.
By then, each had reached a form with one ten-thousandth of the energy reserves of Luo Feng's True Body- a state sufficient to sweep away and annihilate any World-Level Hunyuan lifeform.
"Begin."
Luo Feng showed no mercy when it came to eliminating World-Level Hunyuan lifeforms.
The 3,916 black-robed Luo Feng clones moved simultaneously.
