680 The Beginning of Divine Battle!

Boom.

It was as if the universe had been annihilated. A black current appeared in the cosmos. If they so much as brushed against a little of it, even the combat bodies of the Divine Kings would be on the verge of collapse.

It was as if nothing in the world could resist this power.

The annihilative power and the Law of Annihilation finally formed… the Principle of Destruction!

The universe was shaking. Lin Feng’s body had just emitted the aura of a tide, like a cosmic tide. He was a body of tides, standing at the peak of the universe.

In an instant, the annihilative power descended. Lin Feng’s entire body emitted an aura of destruction.

That black current enveloped the entire cosmos, as if it was devastating and destroying everything.

The Law of Annihilation finally metamorphosed, becoming the Principle of Destruction!

With the descent of Principle, all Laws must retreat. For both the Law of Annihilation and the Law of Destruction, perhaps the two were somewhat different at the stage of Laws.

However, all Laws would ultimately become one. Once they metamorphosed into a Principle, there would only be one Principle, and they would all become the Principle of Destruction!

The Principle of Destruction contained billions of Laws. All kinds of Laws were related to the Principle of Destruction. In the Sacred Stone of Anathema, a complete Principle was a towering tree, or rather, a tree trunk. Those countless branches were nurtured by this tree trunk. Different paths would lead to the same destination, and all Laws would converge to form a complete Principle.

Hence, Lin Feng’s had the Law of Annihilation, but ultimately comprehended the Principle of Destruction! action

Lin Feng was enveloped in a layer of black currents, as if he was draped in a mysterious veil. It was faintly discernible as he walked out of the depths of the cosmos.

He gently extended his hand and pointed.

Boom.

The cosmos shook, as if there was a faint roar from an ancient deity. Everything was annihilated, just like the Big Bang back then. Even though the scale was different, the aura was the same.

“Principle of Destruction!”

Lin Feng’s heart was devoid of joy or grief. In his senses, there were countless clear Principles in the vast universe. In his left hand was the Principle of Tides, and in his right hand was the Principle of Destruction. With two Principles in hand, he stood at the top of the universe.

However, Lin Feng did not seem to be the only one who had comprehended this second Principle of Destruction.

Lin Feng sensed that there were three faint imprints on the Principle of Destruction. In other words, at least three people had grasped the Principle of Destruction. Now, Lin Feng was the fourth.

There was a need to fight for the Principle. Even though multiple people could master a single Principle, there was still a huge difference between one person mastering it and a few people mastering it.

If a few people needed the power of the Principle at the same time, there would be a situation where the power of the Principle would be weakened. Even though the chance of this situation occurring was minuscule, it existed.

If both of them actually grasped a Principle at the same time, and the two of them were enemies with each other, that would be real trouble.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, but Divine King Morrow was overjoyed.

“The Principle of Destruction, it’s actually the Principle of Destruction! Lin Feng, oh Lin Feng, you’re indeed worthy of being the Supreme Grand Emperor. You’ve grasped the Principle of Tides and the Principle of Destruction. In particular, the Principle of Destruction specializes in offense. Its offensive power can be considered top-notch among all Principles. However, do you know that the Principle of Destruction is not so easy to master?

“It’s one thing for other Principle, where no one is competing with you. However, for the Principle of Destruction, there’s a Divine King of Destruction. He’s a peak-level Divine King that took up destruction as his title. He’s even half a step away from becoming a Divine Venerable. By comprehending the Principle of Destruction, you’re competing with him for the Principle. Haha, be ready to face a true divine battle.”

Divine King Morrow laughed in elation.

A divine battle. Lin Feng was definitely going to face a divine battle!

Divine battles were not great battles between Divine Kings, but battles for Principles. This was because all those who comprehended Principles were actually true gods.

The competition between gods for the Principle was a divine battle!

Apart from the Morrow Chamber of Commerce, there were also the other nine chambers of commerce. Naturally, there were the nine Divine Kings. How could nine Nine Divine Kings not pay attention to such a huge commotion now?

Originally, the ten Divine Kings had a good relationship. Divine King Morrow even sent messages to the nine Divine Kings, asking them to interfere and restrain Lin Feng if necessary.

However, as Lin Feng comprehended the Principles and the situation reversed, how could the Nine Divine Kings dare to act rashly?

For a moment, the nine Divine Kings appeared very cautious.

At this moment, the nine Divine Kings, who were already stunned, behaved similarly to the Divine King Morrow. Others might not know this well, but the nine Divine Kings did.

The Principle of Destruction was not a Principle that ordinary people could master. In fact, the Principle of Destruction was not a blessing, but a curse! The reason was very simple, and it was the Divine King of Destruction!

He was a terrifying Divine King who was on the brink of entering the Divine Venerable Realm, and was vengeful and extremely domineering. Moreover, he enjoyed killing and destruction. Even true Divine Venerables had to be wary and would not offend the Divine King of Destruction lightly.

However, even if they did not provoke the Divine King of Destruction, sometimes, the Divine King of Destruction would take the initiative to provoke them. The reason was very simple—competition for the Principle!

The Principle of Destruction contained many Laws, most of which were extremely offensive Laws. Hence, all paths led to the same destination, and all techniques converged into one. There were many battles in the universe. To cultivators, fighting was ultimately inevitable.

Hence, in order to defeat enemies, there were many cultivators who cultivated powerful offensive combat bodies and comprehended offensive Laws. Naturally, cultivators who comprehended the Principle of Destruction were born among them, and there would naturally be far more of them than Divine Kings who comprehended other Principles.

But in reality?

Up until now, only three Divine Kings had comprehended the Principles of Destruction, and the Divine King of Destruction was the reason. If anyone tried to comprehend the Principle of Destruction, they would evoke the wrath of the Divine King of Destruction.

The Divine King of Destruction would launch a divine battle and kill his opponent at all costs. There were countless cultivators who had lost their lives because of it. Among them, there was no lack of Divine Kings who had already comprehended the Principle of Destruction. They had all died at the hands of the Divine King of Destruction.

Only the two Divine Kings were very lucky. Back then, they had decent Origin Weapons or were protected by other Divine Kings, which saved their lives. Then, they slowly developed their abilities to the point where they could contend with the Divine King of Destruction.

The Divine King of Destruction could not do anything to the other two Divine Kings who had comprehended the Principle of Destruction, but as soon as a fourth person had comprehended the Principle of Destruction appeared, the Divine King of Destruction would definitely not let them off.

Such domineering Divine Kings were rare. The Divine King of Destruction happened to be one of them.

“So what if it’s a divine battle?”

Lin Feng’s gaze was cold. In his entire life, he had almost always faced all kinds of battles and opponents. Why would he be afraid of a Divine King of Destruction launching a divine battle?

Lin Feng carefully experienced the Principle of Destruction. He could clearly sense three mental imprints within.

One of the mental imprints was the strongest. It seemed to have vaguely sensed Lin Feng’s mental imprint. Hence, it suddenly erupted, and the entire Principle of Destruction seemed to be fluctuating violently.

“Hmph!”

Lin Feng snorted coldly and immediately controlled the riot of the Principle of Destruction.

He knew that this meant the Divine King of Destruction had already discovered him, the new and fourth controller of the Principle of Destruction.

…

In the distant cosmos, a magnificent Divine Palace was filled with austerity.

In the Divine Palace, a tall man with dark skin sat cross-legged quietly.

Swoosh.

The tall man’s eyes flew open.

“How dare you! Another cultivator trying to comprehend the Principle of Destruction? You’re courting death!”

The tall man was the Divine King of Destruction. He ruled over several galaxies, and his style was extremely domineering. He had once killed a few Divine Kings who had comprehended the Principle of Destruction.

Only the two Divine Kings could barely contend with him, but contending with him was all they could do. The two Divine Kings who had comprehended the Principle of Destruction were both desperately improving their own strength.

This was because they knew very well that once the Divine King of Destruction took another step forward—if he took that critical step and became a Divine Venerable, the first thing the Divine King of Destruction would probably do was to kill the two Divine Kings who had mastered the Principle of Destruction once and for all.

The domineering nature of the Divine King of Destruction was evident.

But now, someone actually dared to comprehend the Principle of Destruction and compete with the Divine King of Destruction for the Principle. How could the Divine King of Destruction not be enraged?

“No matter who you are, if you fight for the Principle of Destruction, you shall die!”

The Divine King of Destruction stood up abruptly. It was as if the entire Divine Palace and even the entire planet were shaking. His murderous aura spread majestically throughout the entire cosmos.

It made all the living beings outside the Divine Palace tremble. They knew that their only deity, the supreme Divine King of Destruction, was enraged again.

Swoosh.

The Divine King of Destruction took off and stepped into the spatial passage. At the same time, the Divine King of Destruction sensed the new mental imprint in the Principle of Destruction.

Then, the Divine King of Destruction mobilized the Principle of Destruction and swept towards the new mental imprint in an overwhelming manner, intending to erase this new mental imprint.

This was a divine battle initiated by the Divine King of Destruction. The Divine King of Destruction initiated the most brutal divine battle to fight for the Principle right from the beginning!

…

“Hmm?”

In the distant Pelagios Domain, Lin Feng was quietly comprehending the Principle of Destruction.

While all paths led to the same destination, the Law of Annihilation and the Principle of Destruction were actually still a little different. The Principle of Destruction contained more Laws, and every Law was not inferior to the Law of Annihilation.

They were all Laws that specialized in offense. There were simply tens of thousands of them, and they were infinite. If he had not grasped the Principle of Destruction, Lin Feng would not have imagined that a single Principle could actually contain so many Laws.

Even under the Principle of Tides, there were not so many Laws.

The many offensive Laws echoed in Lin Feng’s mind like streams of information, also aiding Lin Feng in comprehending the Principle of Destruction.

As his comprehension deepened, his Principle of Destruction would become stronger and stronger. In fact, in the end, it was not impossible for the Principle of Destruction to unleash the power of a destructive tide akin to the Big Bang.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Lin Feng felt the tremors in the Principle of Destruction. A mental mark that was far stronger than his seemed to be competing for the Principle of Destruction. Even the Principle of Destruction that Lin Feng was using now seemed to be affected, and its power was greatly reduced.

“Divine King of Destruction!”

Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately knew the reason.

It was the Divine King of Destruction who was competing with him for the Principle, and he did not hesitate to launch a divine battle to do so.

Lin Feng’s gaze became colder and colder. He could even sense the Divine King of Destruction approaching him. Clearly, the Divine King of Destruction had already warped space and locked onto his location, and was rushing over.

“The divine battle begins!”

Lin Feng took a deep breath. From this moment on, he knew that the divine battle had already begun. He could not hide even if he wanted to.
