Chapter 415: Destructive Mountain

Countless layers of time and space intersected, shielding the core. Furthermore, a vast, mighty destructive force formed a massive vortex, swirling around that core. This enormous vortex of destructive power also shattered time and space, making time and space increasingly minute and dense the closer one got to the "core." Once trapped within, it was easy to become completely lost.

Luo Feng was currently being carried by a ripple of spacetime, flying towards the core.

"Luo Feng, what's going on?" Yuan was contacting Luo Feng's other avatars at this moment.

Luo Feng gazed in awe at the distant core. This hidden expanse of time and space severed all connection with the outside world! No methods of spacetime observation, life-energy detection, or causality probing could discover this place.

"I must have stumbled upon a great opportunity," Luo Feng replied, then meticulously observed the core.

The surrounding destructive power, which had transformed into a massive vortex, contained countless mysteries. While the mysteries of destruction were dominant, various other profound principles—such as life, matter, water, fire, wind, lightning, causality, darkness, earth, time, space, and force—were all integrated within, ultimately forming an immense and irresistible "destructive power."

"What terrifying destructive power! Even my body would likely be annihilated in an instant," Luo Feng judged after a brief assessment. Perhaps in the entire Boundless Origin Space, only 'Prime' stood a chance against this dreadful destructive force.

But Prime couldn't reach this place! It couldn't even occupy the first layer of the Abyss of Destruction.

As Luo Feng was carried by the spacetime ripple, the destructive power naturally avoided him, not harming him in the slightest! And the layered, folded spacetime, even if Star-Glimmer were to arrive, would likely take him countless years to comprehend that labyrinthine expanse. However, Luo Feng was being enveloped and carried ever deeper, drawing closer to the core.

"I see it."

Luo Feng finally saw it: hidden beneath the vast, surging destructive power, a mountain was faintly discernible! That mountain seemed to be the source of all 'destruction,' and even his Void-Ripping Blade was trembling slightly.

Hum.

As he flew completely out of the destructive power vortex, the Mountain of Destruction appeared clearly before his eyes.

The Mountain of Destruction itself was pitch black, with dense, solid black mist flowing over its surface. Countless destructive weapons were being birthed upon it, all merely parts of this mountain.

Most striking were the clusters of light; there were 34 of them on the Mountain of Destruction, like 34 stars in the darkness. Their light intertwined and flowed, resembling the very脉络 (meridians or veins) of the 'Mountain of Destruction' itself.

"So many weapons," Luo Feng remarked, looking at the Mountain of Destruction, which was covered with various weapons: blades, swords, spears, axes, and other forms of weaponry.

"The destructive weapons occasionally acquired while exploring the Abyss of Destruction must be birthed here."

At the foot of the Mountain of Destruction lay a vast expanse of land. As Luo Feng flew closer to the Mountain of Destruction, he felt an increasingly powerful invisible suppression, eventually forcing him to land. The Mountain of Destruction's inherent rule suppression was incredibly strong! Although its range was smaller than that of the Eternal Land, the suppression became more terrifying the closer one got. Weaker Ancestral Gods would even be directly immobilized, unable to move an inch.

At the foot of the mountain stood several statues.

The first statue was of a colossal flying beast! Its material was the same as the 'Mountain of Destruction,' composed entirely of black matter.

The second statue was a massive cube, composed of 125 smaller cubes.

The third statue was a black star.

The fourth statue was a nine-headed great serpent, whose body bore a seventy to eighty percent resemblance to the 'Infinite Serpent' race.

The fifth statue was a misty form with an eye on its surface! It bore a striking resemblance to the immortal and undying 'Hermit.'

The sixth statue was a black mountain, extremely similar to the 'Mountain of Destruction.'

The seventh statue, however, was a miniature 'Abyss of Destruction.' Each layer within this miniature Abyss of Destruction contained even smaller statues, which Luo Feng could identify as: Bavayu, Primeval Beast Ancestor... Wulan, Jin, Minghuang, Moman... Mogus, Feather Emperor, Kavosiu, Endless Ancestor, Yuan, Ice Peak Ancestor... Star-Glimmer, Sandboat!

Luo Feng walked towards these statues.

When Luo Feng approached within a certain distance, the first avian statue suddenly erupted with terrifying flames! Its eyes lit up, and its head tilted slightly, scrutinizing Luo Feng.

Boom!

The avian statue fluctuated unpredictably, appearing nowhere and everywhere! Its flames were fierce and violent, and its body possessed immense power! It was difficult to evade its pounce.

Bang! The avian statue had already pounced close to Luo Feng.

The avian statue's wing, like a giant sharp blade, slashed down on Luo Feng's blood-colored robe. His protective energy layer was torn, the blood-colored robe vibrated, and Luo Feng's body trembled slightly, forcing him to take a step back. That single step caused the ground to violently quake, creating numerous cracks.

Immediately after, a massive bird head appeared before Luo Feng, opening its mouth and spewing terrifying five-colored flames that scorched Luo Feng's body! Luo Feng endured the five-colored flames, took a step forward, and his figure transformed into a blade of light, striking through the bird head.

The avian statue's giant claws appeared out of thin air, reaching for Luo Feng's chest. Luo Feng extended a hand and seized the fierce claws. The flaming avian struggled violently but couldn't break free at all. Luo Feng's 1.08 billion units of origin energy erupted within him. With one hand, he grasped the flaming avian and slammed it violently into the ground!

Boom!

Luo Feng slammed it hard into the ground, but the avian statue transformed into endless flames and dispersed the instant it hit.

Flames converged nearby, re-forming into the avian statue, motionless! The avian statue grinned.

Hum.

A message was transmitted.

"You are the third ultimate life form to arrive at the Mountain of Destruction. If you can pass the seven trials, you will gain control of the Abyss of Destruction!" Luo Feng received this message upon his arrival at the outermost perimeter of the Mountain of Destruction.

Luo Feng paused, a glint in his eyes.

"Counting myself, only three have been selected!" Luo Feng immediately understood that this statue represented one trial! According to the sequence, defeating weaker statues would grant the right to challenge stronger ones. Once all seven statues were defeated, he would be able to control the entire Abyss of Destruction.

"Besides myself, two other ultimate life forms also know this secret," Luo Feng mused. "If Kavosiu didn't come here, then who could the other two ultimate life forms be?"

Information about the Abyss of Destruction was recorded and shared by every Lord, but this specific location was not mentioned. Star-Glimmer wasn't one to be stingy; if he hadn't recorded this place, he likely hadn't been here. Luo Feng vaguely understood that strength alone didn't guarantee access to this place. There must be some screening criteria for entry!

"Kavosiu once stumbled upon an opportunity on the 19th layer of the Abyss of Destruction and obtained that war armor. While other powerhouses also occasionally encountered opportunities exploring the Abyss of Destruction, they never obtained overly precious treasures. Kavosiu was the only one known to have acquired something truly valuable, a fact known to the outside world. The entire Boundless Origin Space was unaware of the location of the core of the mysterious 'Abyss of Destruction,' nor how to control it. Who would have thought that he, Luo Feng, would learn this secret as soon as he arrived here?"

"So Kavosiu might have been here, meaning one other powerhouse has also visited this place," Luo Feng thought, looking at the Mountain of Destruction before him. "The other Lords from my cultivator faction likely haven't set foot here."

"Slice!"

Luo Feng extended his hand, and his five fingers instantly emitted five incredibly dazzling blades of light. The five blades of light descended majestically, instantly forming a terrifying array! The blade array completely enveloped the area where the flaming avian was. Within the array, endless blades of light wildly slashed and twisted, finally precisely touching the core within the flaming avian.

The moment its core was touched, the flaming avian completely disintegrated.

Luo Feng's dispersed blade light was naturally absorbed by the ground beneath his feet, leaving behind a trace. Luo Feng immediately understood. Just like the seats in the Eternal Land, once an imprint was left, one could directly manifest an avatar there next time, without the arduous journey. It was the same for the Mountain of Destruction; passing the first statue's trial granted the qualification to leave an imprint, allowing for direct arrival in the future.

Luo Feng extended his hand, gently pressing his five fingers onto the ground beneath his feet. As his own imprint merged with the earth, Luo Feng also felt that the majestic Mountain of Destruction before him had become much more welcoming, and the previously invisible rule obstacle completely vanished.

The 34 clusters of light on the Mountain of Destruction, now free from rule obstacles, became incredibly clear. The network formed by the converging light naturally outlined a mountain path, leading directly from the foot of the mountain to its summit.

"So, to reach the summit of the Mountain of Destruction, one must likely use this mountain path," Luo Feng surmised. Of course, this was just a guess.

"Let's take a closer look," Luo Feng said, quite curious about the 34 clusters of light on the Mountain of Destruction. He immediately moved towards them. The invisible rule suppression still existed; despite his strength, he was suppressed to the point of being unable to fly.
