Chapter 426: Hunyuan Swordsmanship (Final Chapter)

The 27th level of the Abyss of Destruction. The ground was a landscape of multicolored crystals. On this crystalline land stood a woman in a gray robe. Winds strong enough to annihilate World-level Chaotic Origin lifeforms blew, yet they could not stir a single strand of her hair. Her gaze pierced through spatial and temporal barriers, reaching Luo Feng on the level above. She had long awaited this battle.

With a whoosh, the black-haired man, clad in a blood-red robe, finally descended to this level of the world of destruction.

“Luo Feng,” Sha Zhou said with a slight smile, her expression possessing a strange charm.

At this moment, forces from across the boundless Chaotic Origin Space, including some very secretive entities, were all watching this battle!

“Among the many Ancestors, Sha Zhou’s ‘Destruction Talent’ is the highest. With two highest-tier powers, she can unleash such formidable might,” Xing Mang exclaimed in admiration.

Ancestor Ice Peak, Ancestor Boundless Serpent, Kafka, Feather Emperor, Demon Abyss, and others, all wielded two highest-tier powers, and their combined strength was considered extremely potent. Some of them even controlled Mystical Lands. Yet, Sha Zhou was in a league of her own among the Ancestors.

“In terms of sheer destructive power, I fall short,” Xing Mang stated. He relied on a combination of various methods to match Sha Zhou in direct combat. “Elder Sister Sha Zhou is very pure,” Yuan nodded. “What’s most remarkable is that among this group of Ancestors, if anyone can comprehend a ‘Path at the Chaotic Origin level,’ I believe Elder Sister Sha Zhou is the most likely.”

“Elder Sister Sha Zhou.” Ancestor Ice Peak also watched from afar. Long ago, he hadn’t yet established the Ice Peak Faction, and his strength was significantly weaker than it was now. He and Elder Sister Sha Zhou had once ventured together through the boundless Chaotic Origin Space, exploring various Mystical Lands. At that time, it was Elder Sister Sha Zhou who protected and cared for him. Since the Cultivator Faction and the Ice Peak Faction gradually grew apart, he and Elder Sister Sha Zhou rarely acted together. It was only after Ancestor Ice Peak reached the Immortal and Indestructible level that Sha Zhou began to let go.

“Elder Sister Sha Zhou, I believe you will win,” Ancestor Ice Peak watched, adding, “Even if this Luo Feng possesses great talent, he is still not your match.” Since becoming invincible, Elder Sister Sha Zhou had never lost.

On the crystalline continent of the 27th level of the world of destruction, Luo Feng and Sha Zhou gazed at each other.

“I’ve waited for you for a long time,” Sha Zhou said with a smile, her eyes filled with battle intent. “Luo Feng, you must go all out.” “Please, you also go all out, Sha Zhou,” Luo Feng replied, his own battle intent equally fierce.

He was already at the point where he could establish the Path of Chaotic Origin Blade at any moment, yet Luo Feng still wanted to see the true strength of the entity who had been invincible in the Chaotic Origin World for the longest time. At Luo Feng’s current realm, finding a suitable opponent was rare indeed! Sha Zhou was such an opponent!

“Be careful.” No sooner had Sha Zhou’s voice faded than her gray-robed body naturally dispersed, transforming into endless flames. These flames instantly spread throughout the entire level. The crystalline land, an extraordinary part of this layer of the world of destruction, melted under the spreading flames, turning into a flowing, multicolored liquid. Multicolored mists also ascended, mixing with the flames. The flames were a pale white, incinerating everything.

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~~~” Luo Feng stood his ground, his protective energy layer resisting the flames’ assault. He watched the melting, flowing land, realizing that it had probably been melted and solidified countless times.

“Fire as the root, destruction as the fruit,” a clear, cold voice echoed amidst the endless flames.

Amidst the endless flames, a white flame condensed! The moment this white flame appeared, it began to burn on Luo Feng’s body surface and simultaneously within his body. In the blink of an eye, the endless flames filling the world of destruction transformed into black flames, which enveloped Luo Feng, incinerating him both inside and out.

“Ignoring all defenses? Incinerating everywhere?” Luo Feng felt his body consuming approximately one-tenth of its energy reserves with every passing moment, which greatly shocked him. The destructive power was simply too terrifying.

“I knew Lord Luo Feng wielded the power of life. For this battle, I created the ‘Life Incineration’ technique. Who would have thought it still wouldn’t threaten Lord Luo Feng?” A voice echoed through the world.

“What I’m about to unleash next is my most confident killing move. I will burn my true body to unleash my strongest attack,” the clear, cold voice resonated everywhere.

“Please,” Luo Feng stood there, still with ample patience. He was eager to witness Sha Zhou’s strongest attack by burning her true body. “Buzz!”

In the void, flames enveloped Luo Feng. The black flames that had been burning inside and outside Luo Feng’s body instantly converged.

“Great Primordial Annihilation?” Luo Feng’s expression changed. All the flame power that had spread across this level of the world of destruction converged within Sha Zhou’s body in an instant. Luo Feng was unable to stop this process.

These flames were formless and traceless, impossible to obstruct. The moment they completely condensed within Sha Zhou’s body—an explosion akin to a ‘Great Primordial Annihilation’ began!

The most terrifying aspect of this explosion was that at the point where all the flame power converged, its super-high might “leveraged” a certain profound rule, triggering the self-destruction of the entire world of destruction! It triggered the self-destruction of space-time! It triggered the self-destruction of all power… Even Luo Feng’s own body and his own power were affected.

“Boom!” Luo Feng felt a thrill of delight as he experienced this terrifying great annihilation deep within his body. In his delight, Luo Feng seized the opportunity to make his body suddenly explode, scattering his energy instantly throughout this entire level of the world of destruction. “This is what I wanted to see,” Luo Feng exclaimed with immense delight. His Path of Chaotic Origin Blade was centered on the Great Annihilation system, striving to unleash immense power from a single unit of energy. Sha Zhou, in terms of physical body, only had about one-tenth of Luo Feng’s energy reserves, yet the power of her move reached seventy to eighty percent of Luo Feng’s full capacity.

The key was that her move was indefensible, exploding directly at the enemy’s core. In comparison, Luo Feng’s Great Annihilation seemed far too clumsy.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” Amidst this terrifying destruction, this level of the world of destruction transformed into an endless flow of energy. Yet, parts of these energy flows condensed again, forming Luo Feng’s figure! He still retained one-tenth of his energy reserves and was rapidly recovering with time.

“Your body recovers so fast, and there’s endless energy restoring you to your gray-robed ‘Luo Feng’ appearance,” she watched Luo Feng, surprised. She controlled this level of the world of destruction, which allowed her to recover so quickly. “But within the world of destruction, my power is inexhaustible; I can continuously unleash killing moves!”

No sooner had she spoken, “Boom!!” Luo Feng, sensing it slightly, proactively scattered himself. Boom! Boom!—On this 27th level of the world of destruction, great annihilations erupted again and again, each time an attack fueled by burning the true body. Afterwards, the remaining power would use the world of destruction’s energy to unleash another killing move. The continuous, relentless killing moves made this level of the world of destruction seem like boiling water.

“Sha Zhou, you cannot do anything to me,” Luo Feng’s voice resonated from everywhere in the world of destruction. “The power of your killing move erupts at a single point! My body is dispersed throughout heaven and earth… each time, you can only slightly harm me.”

“Now you take a move from me! This is a killing move I’ve newly comprehended since venturing into the Abyss of Destruction!”

During the continuous destruction inflicted by Sha Zhou, Luo Feng, with his accumulated knowledge sufficient to establish a Path of Destruction, naturally understood the ‘profound mysteries of destruction’ behind Sha Zhou’s move. However, this move was a combination of ‘flame power’ and ‘destruction power’; Luo Feng could only study the destruction aspect’s mysteries and could not imitate it. Yet, witnessing Sha Zhou’s move deepened his comprehension of the ‘Great Annihilation system,’ which was at the core of his Path of Chaotic Origin Blade.

At this point, Luo Feng could no longer suppress it. His profoundly deep comprehension naturally sketched out secret patterns in his mind, forming a complete Path of Chaotic Origin Blade. Everything felt divinely ordained.

“Whoosh!” Luo Feng stood there, swinging the blade in his hand. This blade carried an unshakable will. As it slashed out, the 27th level of the world of destruction completely split open. Even the deeper 28th level began to crack, and the effect extended to the 29th level! This single slash pierced through three levels of the Abyss of Destruction!

“Whoosh!” Even though Sha Zhou’s body had transformed into formless flames, nine-tenths of her body was instantly annihilated. Because the 27th level of the Abyss of Destruction was so thoroughly destroyed, there was no immediate power supply for Sha Zhou to recover.

Meanwhile, the fragmented 27th level of the Abyss of Destruction, the completely split 28th level, and the half-cracked 29th level…

“So strong,” Sha Zhou’s gray-robed figure condensed, her eyes burning with fervor. He was too strong. If she was in a league of her own compared to other Ancestors, then Luo Feng was in a league of his own compared to her.

“Path of Chaotic Origin Life and Death, Path of Chaotic Origin Blade.” Luo Feng’s previous strike naturally combined two Paths at the Chaotic Origin level, and the power of that unrestrained blow was terrifyingly immense.

“I lost,” Sha Zhou said. Despite her defeat, she was incredibly exhilarated. She had seen the way forward.

The Seven Trials set by the Mountain of Destruction made sense. This Lord Luo Feng had completely suppressed her.

“Luo Feng, your blade can be called the most terrifying blade in the entire boundless Chaotic Origin Space!” Sha Zhou said. “The entire Cultivator Faction will change because of you.”

Sha Zhou’s mood was also somewhat complex. She knew that the Ice Peak Faction could no longer compare with the Cultivator Faction. Lord Xing Mang controlled space-time, his plans flawless. Yuan could perfectly combine the powers of all the lords. With these three present, the foundation of the Cultivator Faction was set! Unshakable!

“You flatter me,” Luo Feng replied, still contemplating the Path of Chaotic Origin Blade he had just comprehended. Sha Zhou looked at Luo Feng, unable to suppress her eagerness, and sent a telepathic message: “Luo Feng, with your destruction talent, you must have visited the Mountain of Destruction, right?”

Luo Feng looked at Sha Zhou and nodded: “I have.”

“How many trials did you pass?” Sha Zhou pressed telepathically.

“Three,” Luo Feng did not conceal.

Sha Zhou understood. “You are indeed stronger than me.”

Sha Zhou looked at Luo Feng, unable to suppress her longing, and said, “I want a Destruction Fruit. If you can give me one, I promise to fully support your Cultivator Faction from now on.”

Luo Feng looked at Sha Zhou in surprise. Destruction Fruits were extremely precious; one fruit was no less valuable than the blessing of an ordinary Mystical Land. However, if Sha Zhou stood with the Cultivator Faction, it would, on one hand, signify her detachment from the Ice Peak Faction, and on the other, represent a significant boost in the Cultivator Faction’s strength, akin to gaining a new lord.

“You can come find me anytime,” Sha Zhou transmitted.

She was a lone wolf and held no deep affection for the Ice Peak Faction. She was also weary of the Ice Peak Faction’s disputes. Moreover, Ancestor Ice Peak, whom she cared about, was already immortal and indestructible, no longer needing her constant protection.

She had consumed two Destruction Fruits. For a third Destruction Fruit, she was willing to stand with the Cultivator Faction.

However, she was uncertain whether Luo Feng would agree. After all, one Destruction Fruit was simply too precious.

“I need to think about it carefully,” Luo Feng replied.

Yuan watched, seeing Elder Sister Sha Zhou smile once again. Sha Zhou had a reclusive nature, dedicated solely to pursuing the path of ultimate strength! Her smiles were exceedingly rare; in Yuan’s memory, they had been very few.

“No rush,” Sha Zhou said with ample patience. “Do you need the World Emissary to spar with you?”

“Alright,” Luo Feng said with a slight smile.
