Devouring Starry Sky 2 Origin Continent

Chapter 426, Episode 11: Sharpening the Knife (Part 2)

The 22th floor of the Abyss of Destruction.

This layer of destruction twisted and shattered the world, turning it into surging energy flows. Endless energy flows revolved around that strange cube, the 'Demon Ruins,' which remotely sensed Luo Feng's location.

"He's here." The Demon Ruins were filled with anticipation.

He was born standing at the pinnacle of the endless primordial space, immortal and indestructible! His close-range destructive power is arguably the strongest! However, those ancestors and lords wouldn't be foolish enough to engage him in close combat.

His movement technique was weak, so his intimidating power was naturally much weaker. He only occupied the 22nd floor of the Abyss of Destruction, which was much weaker than Sha Zhou and Xing Mang.

A figure descended from time and space; it was Luo Feng.

"You've arrived." The Demon Ruins emanated waves of excitement.

Looking around, Luo Feng saw that this layer of the Destruction World had been shattered and twisted around the 'Demon Ruins'. This scene reminded Luo Feng of the fourth sculpture on the Mountain of Destruction, which was a similar existence to the Demon Ruins, formed by 125 small cubes. That fourth sculpture was much stronger than the 'Demon Ruins'. It was not only good at close combat, but also good at long-range attacks. Its killing ability completely overwhelmed Luo Feng at this moment.

"The Demon Ruins has potential and may evolve into the 'Fourth Sculpture' form," Luo Feng thought. "Right now, its moves are still too simple."

After all, since its birth, the strength of the Demon Ruins has not improved significantly.

"How do you need my cooperation?" Demon Ruins asked enthusiastically. "Shall we fight one-on-one, or should we arrange for world envoys to gang up on you together?"

"Either is fine," Luo Feng said with a smile.

He was hostile to the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, but had no enmity with the Demon Ruins.

Given its solitary, immortal existence and immense power, no force would dare to oppose the Demon Ruins.

"Hahaha, let's start with a one-on-one fight!" The massive cube of the Demon Ruins erupted with terrifying energy, then shattered the sky, carrying an endless stream of energy as it swept in.

This flight speed seems extremely fast, but at the level of lords and progenitors, it is considered to be a very weak movement technique.

Powerful ones like the 'Infinite Serpent Ancestor' and the 'Feather Emperor' can be omnipresent! Luo Feng, with the help of the Blood Crane Territory, can also move and change in a ghostly manner over short distances.

Even Wu Lan, who is the slowest among the eight lords, is slightly faster than Mo Xu.

"Don't dodge, don't dodge!" The massive cube charged forward, full of anticipation; it loved head-on collisions. If Luo Feng dodged, this battle would be too boring.

Luo Feng, draped in a blood-red robe, stood still without moving an inch.

Looking across the entire infinite primordial space, there wasn't a single life form that could force him to dodge! Luo Feng was also very curious about just how strong the so-called 'strongest level at close range' destructive power really was.
"boom--"

"Hmm?" Luo Feng carefully sensed that the 'tip' of the huge, strange cube collided with his protective energy layer.

The protective energy layer is supplied with 1.08 billion units of primordial energy and formed by the profound mysteries of the Chaos Origin of Life and Death! It is further enhanced by the power of the Blood Crane Territory, possessing characteristics such as 'indestructibility' and 'shadow'.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~~~" The moment the sharp tip touched the protective energy layer, it caused the layer to dent, the sharpest point easily piercing through it. Then, upon contact with the blood-red robe, it similarly pierced through the robe and then penetrated Luo Feng's skin and bones…

"this?"

"It's amazing."

Although he had fought the fourth statue of the Mountain of Destruction, that statue no longer needed to resort to such foolish techniques. Luo Feng had never experienced such 'pure' methods before.

The very tip of that strange cube! Its 'sharpness' even surpasses the limits of the infinite primordial space theory!
That single point possesses unimaginable destructive power. The sheer terror of its destructive force, measured solely by that 'point,' far surpasses that of dozens of progenitors combined. However, it also has a fatal flaw—

This sharp point is a small one that transcends the theory of endless primordial space.

It's important to understand that Luo Feng's body is incredibly large, about one-third the size of someone from a 'normal source world'! Furthermore, he has no vital organs. Therefore, even if this 'smallest point' pierces through the obstacle, the injury to Luo Feng will still be very minor.

"Although it has an indestructible point, the damage range is too small." Luo Feng stood there, and the tip of the strange cube pierced into him. Its edges were also extremely sharp, and its overall power was extremely strong. It forcefully penetrated into Luo Feng's body, but was eventually completely stuck.

The slight energy loss from that attack was instantly recovered by Luo Feng.

"You dare to go head-to-head with me, Luo Feng. I like an opponent like you." Mo Xu was extremely excited, and his goodwill towards Luo Feng soared at this moment.

He had fought the Star Lord before, but the Star Lord was right in front of him, and he couldn't touch or harm him at all! The Star Lord wouldn't be foolish enough to engage him in a head-on collision. And the 'Sand Boat' had transformed into endless flames, omnipresent, making it equally impossible to confront it head-on.

Luo Feng's strength was immense, and he could even fight head-on, which naturally pleased the Demon Ruins.

"I also like an opponent like you." Luo Feng was quickly understanding the 'point-breaking strike' of the Demon Ruins. That point was indestructible! It was because of its extremely small size.

"Its sharp point is not matter, but rules."

"At a point beyond the limits of theory, no matter or energy can exist alone. Only rules can exist there, forming a point of super-destructive power."

"The rule of this point is formed by the mysterious entanglement of two rules: the infinitely vast extreme and destruction."

Luo Feng's Hunyuan Blade Dao also pursues destructive power that can cut through anything, but it is far inferior to the talent of the Demon Ruins.

"I'm here!" Demon Ruins' voice boomed throughout the heavens and earth as he charged forward again, clashing with Luo Feng time and time again! Luo Feng also took the initiative to clash with him repeatedly, carefully familiarizing himself with his opponent's destructive moves.

“My ‘Extreme Point’ is indestructible, but it’s too small! Even if the enemy is slightly damaged, the injury is very weak.” As Demon Ruins fought Luo Feng, he felt his own powerlessness more and more clearly. “Kavshu told me… he saw a sculpture, and I can evolve into that form.”

"Split myself? Split into 125 selves? I've tried it. Once I split, each sub-body becomes very weak, and my strength decreases instead of increasing." The Demon Ruins was also pondering a method of evolution.

Even with Kafshu's help, they knew there was such a direction.

But he still didn't understand how to evolve in that direction, and how to become stronger after evolving.

"I understand!" Having long mastered the 'Power of Severance' and accumulated an incredibly profound understanding of the Hunyuan Blade Dao, Luo Feng finally glimpsed the secret of destruction in the 'sharp' point after repeated clashes with the Demon Ruins.

The reason why the Demon Ruins possess such destructive power is that it was born with the "Power of the Extreme" and the "Power of Destruction," which makes its destructive power so terrifying. The "Power of the Extreme" also endows it with the ability of immortality.

It and the initial state represent two extremes. Yet, improving either of them, even by a single point, is incredibly difficult.

Because their power is already perfect from birth.

Luo Feng only glimpsed the mysteries of the destruction aspect; he couldn't master the innate ability of the Demonic Ruins.

After observing, Luo Feng began testing other moves of the Hunyuan Blade Dao. Having enjoyed the battle, the Demon Ruins summoned 90 World Envoys to join forces and attack Luo Feng, but even together they were still somewhat outmatched.

With Luo Feng's sword formation, those world envoys could be easily defeated.

At a certain moment, the Demon Ruins suddenly stopped, hovering there as if in a daze. The World Messengers continued to follow their earlier orders, besieging Luo Feng.

Seeing that the other party was in a daze, Luo Feng did not disturb him. He took a step and traveled through time and space, getting rid of those world messengers and heading to the 23rd floor.

……

This clash was also within the expectations of the various forces in the Endless Chaotic Origin Space. The weaknesses of the Demon Ruins were obvious; no one believed it could defeat Luo Feng!

Floors 23, 24, and 25 of the Abyss of Destruction.

This is a world of destruction that Yuan, the Ice Peak Ancestor, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, and the Demon Ruins all tried to cross but could not.

Luo Feng honed his swordsmanship as he walked through each floor, easily passing through the three floors and arriving at the 26th floor.

This is also where the Star Lord resides.

Luo Feng is temporarily residing on the 26th floor. He did not fight Xingmang, which disappointed many of the ancestors who were watching from afar.

……

The original land.

Yuan, Jin, Wulan, Minghuang, Naigu, Xingmang, and Moman met with Luo Feng together.

"Luo Feng," Yuan said with a smile, "do you need an opponent now?"

“There’s no need for outsiders to know about our sparring between lords,” Starlight said with a smile. “The seven of us will accompany you.”

Jin looked at Luo Feng and said, "I want to see which is more powerful, your Path of Destruction or my Path of Destruction!"

The lords knew each other very well; they all knew that Luo Feng had become a lord through the Chaotic Origin Path of Life and Death, which was based on 'life'! Therefore, the easiest of Luo Feng's second Chaotic Origin level path... must be the path based on destruction.

"Of the seven of us, I'm the last to become a lord," Moman smiled. "Let me go first!"

Luo Feng smiled and said, "Thank you all, I won't refuse!"

While venturing into the Abyss of Destruction, he did not engage in combat with any lords. In reality, however, each lord possessed at least one Dao at the Chaos Origin level, making them the most skilled in combat.

then……

In the initial land, Luo Feng and the other eight lords each maintained 10% of their energy reserves and competed one by one.

These battles made Luo Feng feel the threat posed by the other Hunyuan Paths! Perhaps in terms of energy reserves, the other lords were far inferior to Luo Feng, but in their areas of expertise, the lords were much stronger than Luo Feng.

These clashes are tests of the 'Hunyuan Knife Way' from different perspectives.

Luo Feng had a deeper understanding, and he was now extremely clear about what kind of 'Hunyuan Blade Dao' he wanted.

……

The 26th floor of the Abyss of Destruction.

Luo Feng, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and saw the Star Lord in the distance.

"If you're willing, you should be able to establish the Chaotic Origin Blade Path, right?" Star Lord looked at Luo Feng.

"Yes, I can open up the Hunyuan Blade Path at any time."

Luo Feng nodded in agreement.

During his battles with the seven lords, he felt an overwhelming urge to develop the 'Hunyuan Blade Path'.

"However, I still have one more battle to fight." Luo Feng looked into the deeper Abyss of Destruction. "The best time to open up the Chaotic Origin Blade Path will be after the battle with Sha Zhou is over!"

Xingmang smiled and nodded.

"I'm off," Luo Feng said, and with one step, he was already heading to the 27th floor.

Sha Zhou will be the final opponent in this trial, and also the one with the most terrifying destructive power.

At this moment, throughout the endless primordial space, the gazes of more than two hundred ancestral and lord-level beings pierced through time and space to look over this battle, none of them wanting to miss it.
