Chapter 413

Kavush’s palms, like mountains, blocked the first strike. The strike’s terrifying power crushed his palms and slammed into his entire body! Its force was incredibly heavy, and even after being weakened by his armor, 70-80% of it still affected every part of his being, causing Kavush’s mighty physique to vibrate and countless cracks to appear. "Hmph," Kavush couldn't help but let out a low grunt, his eyes burning with even greater intensity.

At the same time, the second strike arrived. This dazzling second strike was completely different in style from the first! It carried the power to cut through anything, piercing through Kavush’s armor and into his body! Instantly, Kavush’s body was sliced into dozens of pieces, like a shattered porcelain vase put back together.

“Wonderful.”

Kavush, though shattered into dozens of pieces, still praised with delight.

“Boom!”

The third strike immediately followed. This third strike was as vast and ceaseless as a river! After being weakened by the armor and entering Kavush’s body, it even activated the power of the previous two strikes that still lingered within him!

The third strike triggered the first two, and all their power erupted simultaneously in an instant!

Kavush’s mighty physical body directly exploded into a massive cloud of blood mist! However, this vast blood mist then re-coalesced within his white armor, reforming into Kavush’s body.

At this moment, Kavush’s body’s energy reserves were depleted to only 20%. But he was continuously absorbing power from the World of Destruction, and his own energy reserves were rapidly climbing.

“Three strikes, and 80% of my body’s energy is gone,” Kavush chuckled. “Looking across the endless Origin Source Space, only Shazhou could do that before!”

Shazhou and Xingmang were universally acknowledged as the two most powerful beings, yet their styles were completely different.

Xingmang excelled at manipulating time and space, observing the past and future, and calculating all possibilities. He was skilled in prolonged battles, relentlessly pursuing every bit of an enemy’s strength.

Shazhou was pure destruction! Destruction! And more destruction! Some of the killing moves she comprehended from the mysterious lands and the Valley of Penetration instilled fear in many ancient beings.

Although Mo Xu possessed extreme destructive capabilities, his techniques were too crude and required close proximity. His incredible destructive power could only be unleashed by the tip of his bizarre cube.

As long as the Ancestors and Overlords weren’t foolish, they could easily evade him.

However, some of Shazhou’s destructive killing moves were unavoidable, which was why Shazhou was on the 27th level, while Mo Xu was on the 22nd.

“Three knife strikes can destroy 80% of Kavush’s body! If those hit me, I’d be finished, wouldn’t I? I cannot resist them head-on, absolutely not!”

“Judging from his battle with Kavush over more than an era, Luo Feng’s blade strikes are incredibly difficult to evade!”

“How can Overlord Luo Feng’s power be this immense?”

One after another, ancient beings watched this battle, their gazes piercing through spatial and temporal barriers.

But this battle filled their hearts with dread! More than 90% of these ancient beings came to the same conclusion: “Against Luo Feng, one can only flee! Absolutely no direct confrontation or combat is possible? Kavush is an example!”

Kavush ranked among the top ten in strength, possessed battle armor, and had a formidable physical body.

Yet, after three strikes, this was the outcome!

“I’ve heard that for cultivators seeking to become Overlords, the most difficult path is ‘breaking laws with sheer force’.”

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor, coiled with his body covering most of the World of Destruction, looked at Luo Feng.

As the leader of the Innate Origin Source Faction, he naturally gathered countless pieces of information about the cultivator faction. The paths cultivators took to break free were not secrets, so the Infinite Serpent Ancestor could easily obtain this information.

Xingmang broke laws with sheer force, and Luo Feng did too. Xingmang’s strength was comparable to Shazhou’s! Moreover, he could observe the past and future, almost all possible futures. Facing him was already a great source of trouble for me.

“This Luo Feng, having only recently become an Overlord, is already on the same level as Xingmang and Shazhou.”

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor, naturally possessing detailed evaluation criteria for other Ancestors and Overlords, had, after watching this battle, concluded that Luo Feng, Xingmang, and Shazhou were all on the same tier! They represented what could be called the ‘absolute peak’ of combat power in the entire Infinite Origin Source Space.

“Although I can suppress Kavush, no matter how long we fight, I can’t destroy 80% of his body.”

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor sighed inwardly, acknowledging a destructive power that completely surpassed his own. The leader of the other major faction, the ‘Ice Peak Faction,’ also meticulously watched this battle. He remembered every clash between Luo Feng and Kavush clearly, having analyzed it countless times. “This Luo Feng’s destructive power is stronger than mine,” Ice Peak Ancestor admitted to himself.

If the difference had been negligible, he might have felt some resentment, but the disparity was too obvious! There was no point in comparing.

“He is comparable to Sister Shazhou!” Ice Peak Ancestor’s eyes showed reluctance. Most of his prestige and influence stemmed from Shazhou, who firmly supported him and advanced with him! His ability to rally the Ice Peak Faction was far stronger than the Infinite Serpent Ancestor’s in the Innate Origin Source Faction.

It was important to note that the Innate Origin Source Faction had ‘Nine Emperors,’ who were nominally equal! The Infinite Serpent Ancestor had to win over many Ancestors to achieve his influence.

Even so, the Giant God Emperor’s faction still largely disregarded the Infinite Serpent Ancestor. In contrast, the entire Ice Peak Faction was named after Ice Peak! Nominally, he was the absolute leader!

In fact, apart from Ancestor Pu Cheng, all other Ancestors in the faction dared not truly defy Ice Peak Ancestor.

“I truly look forward to fighting Luo Feng.” A bizarre cube was exceptionally excited at this moment. It loved all adventures and enjoyed clashing with powerful beings.

‘His destructive power is comparable to mine!’ The grey-clad woman, standing on the deepest 27th level, also showed battle intent in her eyes.

Across the entire Infinite Origin Source Space, too few could compel her to act!

She had fought Xingmang before, but couldn’t even touch him. Such a confrontation was too boring. Shazhou preferred the clash of extreme destructive powers! She really wanted to see who was superior!

“Brother Luo Feng, do you need this layer of the World of Destruction?” Kavush asked enthusiastically. For him, a thoroughly satisfying battle was far more valuable than a layer of the World of Destruction.

“No need,” Luo Feng shook his head. “Kavush, just arrange for the World Emissaries to attack me with full force.”

Occupy the World of Destruction? Levels 23 to 25 were all unclaimed; it wouldn’t be difficult for him to occupy any one of them. Perhaps he could even attempt to challenge the deeper levels, 28 and 29. Naturally, he wouldn’t want the layer Kavush offered.

“Alright,” Kavush nodded. With a thought, he commanded 230 World Emissaries to attack simultaneously. These World Emissaries resembled plant life.

Their countless branches were like arms. “This... is the power of destruction?” Luo Feng stood there, feeling the attacks from these World Emissaries land on him, and a look of delight appeared on his face.

“It could be called the ‘Power of Severed Life Force,’ composed of seven parts destruction and three parts life? The destructive power of this layer of the world is greatly beneficial to me. It is also the second type of ‘destructive power blended with life’ that I have encountered since venturing into the Abyss of Destruction.” Luo Feng immersed himself in cultivation, but his battle with Kavush had unleashed a colossal wave across the Infinite Origin Source Space, impacting an increasing number of forces.

The Innate Origin Source Faction occupied over half the territory of the Infinite Origin Source Space.

Many areas had no Origin Worlds, yet many low-level and high-level Origin Source beings still propagated and survived there. After all, absorbing ‘Origin World Essence’ had a threshold; only World-level Origin Source beings could do it at the very least!

The growth of the numerically dominant low-level and high-level Origin Source beings required far fewer resources.

In such a remote area, one location was governed by ‘Ancestor Shui Yu’. Ancestor Shui Yu protected his own clan, and many weaker clans also sought his protection. He was unwilling to participate in any disputes.

However, his strength was too weak at the Ancestor level. His entire clan could only survive safely by allying with a powerful faction. Thus, he joined the Innate Origin Source Faction and chose the ‘Rear God Emperor’ faction, which also disliked conflict.

Not every Ancestor was warlike. Some joined a large faction simply for the better survival of their clan. If an Ancestor lived a solitary, unattached life, perhaps by secluding themselves somewhere or hiding their core in an elusive spot, they could live very freely.

But if one had a large clan to worry about, they either had to be strong enough to fear no forces, or they had to join a major power and seek its protection.

After Ancestor Shui Yu joined the Innate Origin Source Faction, his entire clan could prosper safely.

No one dared to easily attack an Ancestor from the Innate Origin Source Faction; that would be provoking the entire faction. Furthermore, he was a firm supporter of the Giant God Emperor’s faction, which would also protect him.

Of course... when the time came for the Giant God Emperor’s faction to participate in a crucial war, he would also have to join.

“How terrifying, far more dreadful than the previous two great faction wars,” Ancestor Shui Yu murmured, gazing remotely at the Abyss of Destruction and observing the battle between Luo Feng and Kavush.

The Abyss of Destruction was a place occupied by the most formidable beings in the entire Infinite Origin Source Space. Ancestor Shui Yu, if he merely stepped into the first layer, would likely be blasted out by ‘Bawen’!

Bawen, although modest in front of Luo Feng, was ultimately a being who ranked among the top thirty. How could he possibly regard an ordinary Ancestor like Shui Yu?

“Kavush, who ranks among the top ten, is a being I must look up to.

And more than half of his body was destroyed by three strikes?” Ancestor Shui Yu exclaimed. “This Overlord Luo Feng should be at the strongest tier in the Infinite Origin Source Space.

If I ever face such a being, I cannot resist him head-on; I must immediately flee. The weaker an Ancestor’s direct combat power, the better they generally are at self-preservation!

After all, they were beings who had mastered at least one supreme-level power. In the areas they excelled in, they were exceptionally brilliant.

So many Ancestors watched that even those who missed it could easily obtain combat footage from their friends, allowing them to clearly witness the entire confrontation between Luo Feng and Kavush.

Most of these ancient beings were not qualified to contend for the first layer of the Abyss of Destruction, but they all possessed certain observational secret techniques that allowed them to make informed judgments. They could all determine Overlord Luo Feng’s approximate power level! If they encountered him, they had to flee! No direct resistance was possible!

“Excellent!” Overlord Moman was overjoyed. “Truly worthy of someone who breaks laws with sheer force. His strength has surpassed ours so quickly; he’s already stronger than me.” Jin, on the 13th level, watched Luo Feng cultivating on the 16th level.

Despite this, Jin still disliked Luo Feng’s strategy for managing territories.

Luo Feng wanted to eliminate all opportunities for ‘Calamity-type Cultivators’!

He believed that a Calamity-type Cultivator would use all beings in an Origin World as resources, continuously monopolizing the entire Origin World through successive reincarnations, thereby extinguishing all hope for the weak.

From the perspective of countless weak beings, Luo Feng felt that ‘Calamity-type Cultivators’ who ‘extinguished all hope’ should not exist! Jin, however, greatly admired Calamity-type Cultivators, believing each to be the most outstanding elite to emerge from countless beings, as he himself had followed this path!

Different paths, no common ground for strategy! Jin was willing to occasionally cooperate with Luo Feng for the faction’s overall benefit, but normally he preferred to maintain his distance.

“Just because you’re stronger than me doesn’t mean you’re right. Naigu and I are both Calamity-type Cultivators, and in the future, there might be a second, or even a fourth Calamity Cultivator,” Jin mused.
