Chapter 511-520 (Patreon)

511. Joining Forces Again, Descending on Shen's Territory!

"Hmm? Friend Mi Tian, just for this? To slay Shen?"

Lin Fei looked meaningfully at Heart Demon Martial God. So, Heart Demon Martial God was after Shen. Or perhaps, Heart Demon Martial God originally lacked ambition. But after acquiring the world's origin this time, he developed such aspirations. He, too, wished to shatter the void, even to become a Martial Ancestor.

However, Mi Tian's foundation was weak. In his previous tribulations, he obtained too few laws. Now, relying on the quantity of laws to comprehend a complete Dao was too difficult. Thus, he sought an alternative path. He hoped to master the path of illusion through a deep understanding of the laws of illusion. But that required external aid.

The divine-level exotic beast Shen, proficient in illusion and mind control, possessed innate talents in these areas. Naturally skilled in creating illusions and controlling minds, if Heart Demon Martial God could acquire Shen's bloodline, and then slowly dissect, study, and comprehend it, he might indeed comprehend a complete path of illusion.

"Why didn't you try to slay Shen before?" Lin Fei inquired.

"Shen's illusions are too strong, And it can control minds, which precisely suppresses me. Seeking help from anyone else was futile. But fellow daoist Lin, your arrival changes things. Your laws seem to counteract illusions. Only you can slay Shen."

Heart Demon Martial God probably had some plans in his mind when Lin Fei fought him previously. But he had waited until now to mention it. And he even forcibly linked it to the death of North Wind True Person.

"So, you're suggesting North Wind True Person's death might have been Shen's doing?"

"I don't know, but Shen is capable of killing North Wind True Person."

Lin Fei nodded thoughtfully. He didn't rush to answer, looking steadily at Mi Tian. The implication was clear. What benefit would there be for Lin Fei in slaying Shen?

After all, it was a risky endeavor, and slaying a divine-level exotic beast was no trivial matter. Without a benefit, Lin Fei wouldn't undertake such a task.

Heart Demon Martial God hesitated for a moment before speaking in a grave tone, "I have uncovered that Shen still has a descendant of its bloodline, who is currently in its infancy. If you slay Shen, you can obtain this young offspring. Whether you refine it into an external avatar or keep it as a spiritual pet, the choice is yours."

Lin Fei shook his head, "Not enough! A juvenile Shen, I can slay it alone and obtain it."

Mi Tian gritting his teeth, continued, "Upon successful completion of this task, I will grant you five Saber World secret realms. How does that sound? No matter the means I employ, I will ensure you receive five Saber World secret realms as a token of gratitude!"

Heart Demon Martial God finally revealed his trump card. He knew what Lin Fei needed most. Five Saber World secret realms might seem slightly insufficient for the current Lin Fei.

However, the addition of a juvenile Shen was almost enough to sway him. Lin Fei did not inquire how the Martial God had come to possess five Saber World secret realms. Judging by his demeanor, these realms were not easily obtained, certainly requiring some sacrifice. Yet, for Lin Fei, it was sufficient.

"When do we depart?" Lin Fei asked.

Heart Demon Martial God's heart swelled with joy. Lin Fei's inquiry signified his agreement.

After a moment's thought, the Martial God said directly, "If we are to go, then let's proceed with utmost haste. We can leave now, catching Shen unawares. However, Lin, one thing must be made clear. Shen belongs to the All Beasts Alliance, which is not particularly friendly towards our human cultivators. Therefore, once we confront Shen, we must strike quickly and decisively, without delay. Otherwise, the True Monarch-level powerhouses of the All Beasts Alliance may intervene!"

The All Beasts Alliance, while a force in the Divine Realm, was somewhat different. It primarily consisted of exotic beasts. The relationship between exotic beasts and human cultivators was far from friendly. Both sides engaged in relentless battles, accumulating countless grudges. Many exotic beasts harbored hostility towards human cultivators. Similarly, human cultivators never regarded exotic beasts as equals.

Once they ventured into the All Beasts Alliance territory to slay Shen, Provoking the True Monarch powerhouses to act directly wouldn't be surprising.

"I understand. We must act swiftly and silently, preferably not alerting Shen at all," Lin Fei acknowledged.

With Saber World at his disposal, he could unleash all his techniques in an instant, slaying his foes. In Saber World, no sound would escape unless the opponent could tear through it.

"Very well, we depart now."

Thus, Lin Fei followed behind the Martial God, swiftly leaving the Ancient City, and heading towards the All Beasts Alliance.

The All Beasts Alliance, the territory of Shen.

Shen was deep in slumber, a state it deeply cherished. Or rather, in its endless life, it spent at least sixty to seventy percent of its time asleep. Its periods of wakefulness were rare.

Once Shen fell asleep, it would exhale bubbles from its mouth. These bubbles, mesmerizingly beautiful, would trap any life form that touched them, be it an exotic beast or a human cultivator.

Anyone who encountered these bubbles would be ensnared in a phantasmagoric realm, a delusion so captivating that one might remain submerged in it, oblivious to reality. Each bubble was akin to an "independent" illusory world. Hence, these bubbles were also known as the Realms of Illusion!

Shen's innate ability was illusion. Its prowess in this art was unimaginably profound. Throughout its prolonged existence, even in slumber, none dared provoke it.

Even a Deity Transformation, with just a thought, could be ensnared in its control and thus slain. The Martial God was no exception. Unable to withstand its illusion, it would fall under its control.

In terms of illusion, the Martial God was but a novice in Shen's presence, incomparable in every respect. Without a means to counter Shen's power, no one dared provoke it.

Even a True Monarch, who harbored vulnerabilities in their spirit, feared Shen. Shen's illusions targeted the psyche, thus granting it a unique standing.

Within the All Beasts Alliance, it was regarded as a True Monarch in its own right.

"Swoosh".

At that moment, two beams of light had already penetrated into Shen's territory. There were few exotic beasts in this domain, and those present were either asleep or caught in illusions. Shen's exhaled bubbles enveloped the entire territory, rendering it the most tranquil of realms.

"Lin, do not touch these bubbles," the Martial God warned gravely, his face etched with seriousness. "My illusion techniques can barely contend with the phantasms within Shen's territory. The rest is up to you."

Mi Tian had now fully realized the terror of Shen. Merely in its slumber, the unconscious release of these illusions was enough to put the Martial God on high alert, requiring his utmost effort to resist. What if Shen were to awaken? Probably a mere glance would be sufficient to plunge the Martial God into a deep abyss of illusion.

"Saber World!"

Lin Fei took a step forward, and instantly, the Saber World descended, encompassing only himself. It isolated him from the outside world, rendering him impervious to external illusions.

"Swoosh."

In a flash, Lin Fei appeared before a massive exotic beast – Shen itself! Even then, Shen's mouth continued to emit bubbles, each one a marvel of beauty, almost too poignant to disrupt.

Yet, Lin Fei remained unaffected. His Saber World, with a fierce shimmer, engulfed Shen in its vast expanse, drawing it into the realm of the Saber World.

512. Unexpected changes, Shen's true strength!

Within the Saber World, as Lin Fei pulled Shen into the Saber World in an instant,

"Swoosh."

Shen abruptly opened its eyes. It was awake. And with Shen's awakening, Lin Fei suddenly felt as if he were in an immense void, surrounded by a silence akin to death.

"An illusion?"

Lin Fei immediately realized that this must be Shen's illusionary technique, dragging him into a phantasm. It was remarkable, considering he had not even physically contacted Shen.

Moreover, Shen had just woken up. To pull him into an illusion in that fleeting moment of awakening?

This ability alone set Shen far above the Martial God. Or to say, the Martial God's illusionary techniques paled in comparison to Shen's. They were utterly subdued.

However, Lin Fei was unafraid. He was in his Saber World, after all. Within the Saber World, Lin Fei was omniscient and omnipotent, like a sovereign of his own realm.

"The illusion, disperse."

Lin Fei's calm voice echoed. Instantly, the vast emptiness before his eyes rapidly dissolved, revealing the scene within the Saber World.

Shen attempted to escape the Saber World, but Lin Fei's realm was not so easily breached. In such a short span of time, Shen couldn't break through Lin Fei's Saber World.

Seeing Lin Fei escape the illusion, Shen didn't seem surprised.

"Unexpectedly, there is someone who has comprehended the laws of the world."

Then, Shen spoke without attacking.

"Hmm? You know about the laws of the world?"

Lin Fei was somewhat astonished. He had been in the Divine Realm for so long, encountering many powerful beings, like North Wind True Person, Bloodthirsty Martial God, Meditation True Person, and others. Yet, none could recognize that Lin Fei was utilizing the laws of the world. But now, an exotic beast had identified it.

Shen, with a profound gaze and a hoarse voice, slowly said, "In the blood memory of our Mirage clan, those who comprehend the laws of the world are unspeakably powerful entities. Our Mirage clan's Dao is the art of illusion, which, in essence, is also the way of the world. After all, for an illusion to be realistic, it must mimic reality precisely. What the world is, our illusions will be.

Therefore, we of the Mirage clan are not unfamiliar with the laws of the world. Moreover, your world laws are the bane of our Mirage clan, completely restraining our art of illusion. Your laws can seal our illusionary techniques at any moment. However, this is my territory. On my territory, no one can suppress me!"

A strange light flickered in Shen's eyes.

"Boom."

The world turned upside down in an instant. A terrifying force struck directly at Lin Fei's Saber World from the outside, attacking it.

"What is this..."

Lin Fei's eyes widened in shock. Not just Lin Fei, but Mi Tian too stared in disbelief. What did they see?

Within Shen's territory, suddenly, several, no, more than a dozen exotic beasts appeared. All of them were divine-level exotic beasts!

These divine-level beasts seemed to awaken from beneath the ground. Some flew in the sky, others ran on the ground, and still more bore dark clouds overhead, as if endless vapors were converging. Intense heat radiated towards them.

Both Lin Fei and the Heart Demon Martial God were stunned. They had never imagined encountering so many divine-level exotic beasts.

"You can't kill me!"

Unknown to Lin Fei, a crack had appeared in his Saber World. Through this small fissure, Shen transformed into a wisp of smoke and vanished from the Saber World.

The next moment, it appeared before the dozen divine-level exotic beasts. Its massive form stood like a king among exotic beasts. These divine-level beasts, like stars around the moon, protected Shen at the center.

"What's happening?"

"Martial God Lin, I am also unaware of this situation, How could so many divine-level exotic beasts appear in Shen's territory?"

Heart Demon Martial God was bewildered. He had no knowledge of this scenario.

"Control the spirit!"

Lin Fei suddenly spoke, His gaze fixed intently on Shen, he said word by word, "Shen excels at controlling the enemy's spirit. Is it possible that it subtly controlled the spirits of some exotic beasts? Turning them into its puppets?"

Lin Fei's words were speculative, But the scene before them made it clear. Speculation had become a reality. Shen, imperceptibly, had controlled the spirits of so many divine-level exotic beasts, even turning them into its servants, to fight for it.

This was the terrifying aspect of Shen. Silently influenced by Shen, even becoming willing servants, believing everything to be normal. This was more terrifying than death itself.

Shen's gaze, deep and profound, fixed upon Lin Fei. It slowly began to speak, "Indeed, worthy of a Martial God who has comprehended the world's laws. These exotic beasts have indeed been seeded by me with a spirit seed, subtly and gradually influenced until they willingly became mine."

Many know of our Mirage clan's prowess in illusion, But what truly defines us is our control over the spirit. It might take hundreds or thousands of years to plant a spirit seed, allowing it to slowly take root and finally serve me. These divine-level exotic beasts are all willing and eager to be commanded by me. In their hearts, I am their king, whom they would protect at any cost.

If you were a True Monarch, perhaps I would admit defeat. But you are merely a Martial God. Heh, though the law of the world does restrain our Mirage clan's illusions, can also be advantageous. Killing you and obtaining your world laws, then integrating them into my bloodline to fully merge with the illusionary bloodline, could lead to transcendence and a metamorphosis of the bloodline. Perhaps, it could even lead to becoming an Ancestor!"

At that moment, Shen's eyes filled with greed as it looked at Lin Fei. The so-called Ancestor in the context of exotic beasts is akin to the level of Martial Ancestor or Dao Integration True Immortal. It seemed Shen had developed an interest in Lin Fei, Or rather, in Lin Fei's world laws, seeing it as an opportunity. Capture Lin Fei, obtain the world laws, and Shen could achieve its transformation.

Suddenly, Lin Fei and Mi Tian found themselves in grave danger. Neither had anticipated such a turn of events. Initially, they were plotting against Shen, but now they were the ones threatened, trapped within Shen's territory, like fish in a barrel, surrounded by Shen.

"Martial God Lin, what should we do?"

Heart Demon Martial God was already considering retreat. His illusion techniques proved ineffective against these exotic beasts, apparently under Shen's control, which also seemed to increase their resistance to illusionary techniques. He found himself helpless against these beasts.

"What to do?" Lin Fei's gaze was icy. "Proceed as planned! Leave Shen to me!"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Fei stepped forward.

"Boom."

In the next instant, Lin Fei fiercely approached one of the exotic beasts.

A punch thundered down!

"Die!"

Lin Fei's gaze was cold and merciless. Thousands of particle worlds within him erupted simultaneously.

513. Crushing Shen

"Bang."

The exotic beast before Lin Fei, undoubtedly a divine-level one, bore a resemblance to a colossal elephant. However, under the onslaught of Lin Fei's thousands of particle worlds, it was no match. With just a single punch, the beast was obliterated.

This wasn't even Lin Fei at his full strength; it was merely the eruption of his thousands of particle worlds combined with his own physical prowess. Ordinary divine-level exotic beasts stood no chance against him.

"One down!"

Lin Fei's gaze remained icy as he approached a second exotic beast. This one, anticipating the attack, unleashed a terrifying stream of flames from its mouth. Lin Fei, with a casual wave of his hand, summoned a world law.

"World Law, Seal!"

Lin Fei's world law could seal anything, making a mere flame trivial. The fire was instantly sealed by his world law, and Lin Fei closed in on the exotic beast.

"Bang."

Another punch, and this second beast, too, could not withstand the attack.

"Second one down."

Lin Fei's expression was unwaveringly cold as he repeated the process. The third, fourth, fifth, sixth... every exotic beast he struck was annihilated by his overwhelming power. None could recover once obliterated. Unless possessing a clone, death was certain for them.

As for the innate abilities of the exotic beasts, Lin Fei effortlessly sealed them with his laws. He now wielded eighteen laws, more than enough for the task at hand.

Shen hadn't anticipated Lin Fei breaking the deadlock in such a brute-force manner. In its understanding, warriors who comprehended world laws typically fought using those laws, refined in their application for sealing and suppressing.

However, the number of laws one could use was limited. Thus, Shen summoned its underlings, intending to deplete Lin Fei's world laws. But unexpectedly, Lin Fei's physical strength was terrifying, seemingly even more formidable than his world laws. In this direct confrontation, not a single exotic beast could stand in his way.

This turn of events was beyond Shen's expectations. Feeling the tide of battle turn against it, Shen sensed its own demise looming. Without a second thought, it turned to flee.

Even with some exotic beasts left to defend it, Shen's decision to escape was immediate. It even considered seeking refuge with a True Monarch-level exotic beast, believing Lin Fei, despite his strength, would not dare to provoke such a formidable opponent. Shen planned to deal with Lin Fei later, after devising a strategy.

However, Lin Fei, already alert to Shen's movements, was well aware that Shen was his primary target. If Shen escaped, eliminating all other exotic beasts in the vicinity would be meaningless. Thus, seeing Shen attempting to flee, Lin Fei acted instantly.

"Think you can escape? Stay! Saber World! Eighteen Laws!"

"Boom."

Lin Fei's eighteen world laws merged with the Saber World, expanding it several-fold. Like a colossal cage, it enveloped Shen in an instant. Under Shen's command, its few remaining exotic beasts desperately tried to break through Lin Fei's Saber World. But the combined force of eighteen laws with the Saber World was not easily penetrated.

Taking advantage of this moment, Lin Fei launched his attack.

"Hum."

All particle worlds within Lin Fei erupted. This time, he held nothing back. Nineteen hundred particle worlds empowered Lin Fei's True Martial King Form, transforming him into a towering giant. His massive fist, like a hammer from the heavens, crashed down with enough force to seemingly split the earth asunder.

"No..."

Shen immediately commanded several divine-level exotic beasts to intercept Lin Fei's attack. But the force of the punch was overwhelming, obliterating the beasts in an instant. The residual force even struck Shen.

Shen, though powerful in illusion and mind control, was physically weak. This was precisely why it had controlled so many exotic beasts for protection. Faced with the eruption of Lin Fei's nineteen hundred particle worlds, with six hundred of them ten times stronger than the others, Shen stood no chance. Even a fraction of this terrifying force, nearing the power to shatter the void, was too much for Shen to bear.

"Pfft."

In the next moment, Shen's body burst apart. In such a situation, even if a single particle escaped, it could potentially recover later. However, within Lin Fei's Saber World, not even a speck of dust could escape, let alone a particle of Shen's body.

"True Fire, refine!"

Lin Fei commanded coldly. Instantly, his Saber World blazed with intense flames. This was True Fire, capable of burning everything to ashes.

"No..."

Shen's voice shrieked, its particles attempting to reform. But against the True Fire within Lin Fei's Saber World, they were powerless and turned to ash.

Shen was dead, obliterated by Lin Fei in the face of numerous divine-level exotic beasts, leaving not a single particle behind.

Shen likely had no clone, meaning its fall was absolute. Not every divine-level exotic beast possesses the ability to create clones. While beings like Taotie might have clones, it didn't imply Shen had one as well. Lin Fei could distinctly feel Shen's demise.

"Wait, Shen is dead, completely annihilated. Where do we find Shen's bloodline now?"

Suddenly, Heart Demon Martial God voiced his concern.

Caught up in the moment, the Heart Demon Martial God had only been spectating. Now, he remembered that his goal was Shen's bloodline and heart. With Shen's particles gone, how could he obtain Shen's bloodline?

"Who says it's gone?"

Lin Fei extended his hand, revealing a heart that was still beating, though sealed and suppressed by his world laws. He had secured Shen's heart early on, ensuring that Shen could never be revived as long as the heart was intact.

"Fortunately, you didn't completely annihilate Shen," the Heart Demon Martial God sighed in relief.

"Shen's heart is right here, and you can extract Shen's bloodline from it. But can you suppress Shen's heart? Without my laws to constrain it, it will immediately recover."

Lin Fei faced a dilemma regarding Shen's regeneration. Even a single particle could enable Shen to revive. What could the Heart Demon Martial God use to suppress Shen and ensure it didn't recover? If his strength was insufficient, he wouldn't even be able to suppress a drop of blood from a divine-level exotic beast.

The Heart Demon Martial God smiled, "Lin, I have made preparations. This is a sealing bottle, crafted by a Dao Integration True Immortal. It can suppress and seal the flesh and blood of Martial Gods and avatars of Deity Transformation experts, eliminating any chance of revival."

"Sealing bottle?" Lin Fei was surprised. He handed over Shen's heart to the Heart Demon Martial God, who placed it in the sealing bottle. A miraculous force immediately suppressed and sealed the heart, rendering it completely immobile. The Heart Demon Martial God had indeed prepared thoroughly, even considering this detail.

"You mentioned a juvenile Shen nearby, right?" Lin Fei said

"It should be around here. Keep looking, Lin."

Lin Fei closed his eyes, his Saber World rapidly expanding, beginning to sense all life within Shen's territory.

514. The Fusion of Saber World and the Mirage!

"Hmm?"

Lin Fei, within his Saber World, had already sensed something.

"Whoosh."

Lin Fei's figure flashed. Within the Saber World, Lin Fei could teleport instantly. He arrived at an underground location in a blink.

"Open!"

Lin Fei extended his hand. A massive fissure tore open the ground. Beneath it lay a hidden palace. Within the palace, a mirage beast was revealed. However, this mirage beast was much weaker than Shen. Its aura, at most, was that of a Martial Sovereign. Still in its juvenile phase. Yet, a Martial Sovereign mirage beast possessed considerable attack power. It even remained wary of Lin Fei.

"Seal!"

Lin Fei paid it no heed. With a single law, he sealed the creature. Planning to slowly refine it upon his return. Lin Fei then approached the Heart Demon Martial God.

"Mi Tian, when will you fulfill your promise of the five Saber Worlds?" Lin Fei inquired.

The Heart Demon Martial God, gritting his teeth, replied, "In three days, the five Saber Worlds will be delivered to the Ancient City."

"Good, then I shall wait for my esteemed friend from the vast heavens for three days," Lin Fei said, unafraid of the Heart Demon Martial God's evasion or escape.

Should the Heart Demon Martial God truly contemplate fleeing, Lin Fei had ways to find him. Moreover, Lin Fei believed the Heart Demon Martial God wouldn't be so foolish. Thus, Lin Fei, with the juvenile mirage beast in tow, returned directly to the Ancient City.

In a secret chamber within the Ancient City, Lin Fei took out the sealed mirage beast. To have the mirage beast completely obey him, the best method would be to transform it into an external avatar.

However, this was a practice of the immortal path, and Lin Fei, not being an immortal cultivator and lacking magical power, could not create such an avatar.

As for the control methods of the martial path, while they existed, none were entirely reliable. It was especially challenging to fully control a divine-level exotic beast like the mirage beast, known for its immensely powerful mental strength.

Moreover, Lin Fei didn't need an external avatar. Even if the mirage beast grew to its peak, matching a True Monarch, it did not align with Lin Fei's ultimate goal, which was to become a Martial Ancestor. His interest in bringing back the mirage beast stemmed from a curiosity about its illusionary abilities and the phantasmal world formed by its innate talents. Perhaps, it could inspire his Saber World. Lin Fei always believed there was room for further development in his Saber World.

"If my Saber World were to incorporate illusionary techniques," he pondered, "or better yet, merge with the mirage beast, its power could become significantly stronger!"

A glint of realization shone in Lin Fei's eyes as he contemplated the optimal use of the mirage beast: a fusion with the Saber World. Such a union would enhance his Saber World beyond suppression and sealing; it would engulf adversaries in a potent illusion, diminishing their strength drastically.

Lin Fei felt an intuitive sense that this fusion would transform his Saber World qualitatively. However, the idea, though appealing, was not easy to implement. The challenge was in merging a Saber World with a juvenile mirage beast. How could such a fusion be achieved?

"If the mirage beast merely hides within the Saber World to launch illusionary attacks, the effect would be far from optimal," Lin Fei mused. "Only by fully integrating it into the Saber World can enemies be completely drawn into the illusion the moment they enter it. But the mirage beast is not a magic treasure; how can it be refined into the Saber World?"

Lin Fei furrowed his brows, sinking into deep thought. If it were a magic treasure, such integration might be possible, but the mirage beast was not. This realization, however, sparked an epiphany in Lin Fei.

"Wait, magic treasure? The Saber World can incorporate magic treasures, so why not treat the mirage beast as one and refine it into the Saber World? Alternatively, the Saber World could be viewed as a formation with the mirage beast as the formation's core, allowing for a perfect fusion..."

Once Lin Fei's train of thought was unleashed, inspiration flowed endlessly. He pondered various ideas, each bringing new insights. Considering the mirage beast as a magic treasure and refining it into the Saber World was feasible, but that would mean the end of the beast's life, forever halting its growth and limiting its illusionary power.

However, treating the Saber World as a formation and using the mirage beast as the formation's core would allow the beast to continue growing. Once fully mature, what level of illusionary power could the mirage beast achieve when fused with the Saber World?

Excited by the possibilities, Lin Fei immediately sprang into action. He began searching for a suitable formation, one that could link the Saber World with the mirage beast. After much deliberation and even a visit to the Great Dream City to release some inquiries, he finally discovered a formation known as the Ten Directions Heavenly Formation. This formation was renowned and considered the trump card of the Ten Directions Realm. It had once brought fame to the realm across the entire Divine Realm, reputed to be nearly unbreakable and capable of overpowering everything.

However, the Ten Directions Heavenly Formation was too famous, which led to its simplified versions being widely disseminated. The original version was, of course, unattainable, but for Lin Fei, even the simplified versions were sufficient.

The Ten Directions Heavenly Formation typically required ten powerful cultivators to preside over each direction, but Lin Fei, with his Saber World, didn't need them. The power of his Saber World could reach everywhere, not just in ten directions but essentially forming a circle. Therefore, setting up the formation as the Ten Directions Heavenly Formation posed no problem, with the mirage beast naturally becoming the core of the formation.

The core's power could continuously feed into the Saber World, and similarly, the Saber World's power could converge into the core. This integration was essentially a fusion between the mirage beast and the Saber World.

"Let's try it," Lin Fei thought, taking a deep breath. He had committed the entire Ten Directions Heavenly Formation to memory. With a thought, Lin Fei deployed the Saber World, instantly arranging it into the formation's layout.

"Mirage beast, enter," Lin Fei commanded, releasing the beast into the Saber World. A humming resonance ensued, perfectly merging the two. The Ten Directions Heavenly Formation was established, albeit in a rather unique and complementary form.

Using special means, Lin Fei controlled the mirage beast, making it obediently become the core of the formation. The beast's power merged with the Saber World, and within it, Lin Fei could conceal the beast at will. As long as Lin Fei didn't wish for his enemies to detect the beast, no one could discover it within the Saber World. However, Lin Fei was unclear about the extent of its power and knew he needed to test it.

"Whom should I test it on?" He immediately thought of the Heart Demon Martial God. Since both used illusionary techniques, the Heart Demon Martial God was the perfect candidate. However, finding the Heart Demon Martial God would be troublesome. "Wait, it's been three days; hasn't the Heart Demon Martial God delivered the Saber World sanctuaries yet?"

Lin Fei remembered his agreement with the Heart Demon Martial God. Within three days, the Heart Demon Martial God was to deliver five Saber World sanctuaries to the Ancient City. But now, there was no sign of him. Could the Heart Demon Martial God be planning to renege on the deal? But then, Lin Fei wondered, is it that easy to renege on a debt to him?

515. A Leap in Strength, Aspiring to Dominate a Realm!

Lin Fei, having calculated the time, confirmed it had indeed been three days. He generally trusted the Heart Demon Martial God and was pondering whether the latter intended to renege on the agreement.

At that moment, the Heart Demon Martial God arrived. Presenting himself personally, he expressed relief upon seeing Lin Fei, "I've finally made it in time."

"To secure the five Saber Worlds for you, Lin Daoist Friend, I've incurred a great cost," the Heart Demon Martial God revealed. He then handed over the five Saber Worlds to Lin Fei, who was quite pleased with them.

"Excellent, these are indeed the five Saber Worlds," Lin Fei remarked, praising the Heart Demon Martial God for his reliability. "However, there's one small favor I hope you can do for me."

"What favor?" asked the Heart Demon Martial God.

"Experience my Saber World," Lin Fei said, not allowing the Heart Demon Martial God any time to react.

Lin Fei's Saber World instantly expanded and enveloped the Heart Demon Martial God. The latter, caught by surprise, wondered why Lin Fei had suddenly made a move against him. Lin Fei remained silent, intensely observing the Heart Demon Martial God. He didn't use the power of the nineteen hundred particle worlds within him but solely relied on the Saber World and the power of the Ten Directions Heavenly Formation, unleashing the mirage beast's illusionary arts along with the Saber World's suppressive and sealing forces.

With Lin Fei's current mastery of the Saber World, it was indeed possible to suppress the Heart Demon Martial God, although it would take time and allow for some resistance from him.

But now, things were different. As Lin Fei's Saber World enveloped the Heart Demon Martial God, the latter seemed to lose all sense of action, appearing utterly bewildered, as if trapped in an illusion. Indeed, he had fallen into an illusion.

Lin Fei was astonished, knowing well that the Heart Demon Martial God was extremely proficient in illusionary techniques and even possessed the Law of Illusion. Yet, he had been ensnared in the illusion within Lin Fei's Saber World, which was merely the power of a juvenile mirage beast.

After a few breaths, the Heart Demon Martial God shuddered and then regained clarity in his eyes.

"Wait, I just fell into an illusion created by the mirage beast?" he said in disbelief. Lin Fei nodded slightly, confirming, "You've finally come to your senses. You were indeed pulled into the illusion by the mirage beast."

Although the Heart Demon Martial God had recovered, the few moments he had spent trapped in the illusion would have been enough for Lin Fei to defeat him countless times in battle.

Moreover, Lin Fei was pleasantly surprised to find that even in its juvenile stage, the mirage beast's illusionary power was formidable enough to overcome the Heart Demon Martial God. What would its capabilities be once it continued to grow?

This was indeed a pleasant surprise, and Lin Fei's initial idea was not wrong. The fusion of the mirage beast with the Saber World, even in the form of a formation core, had significantly transformed the Saber World.

While this might not aid Lin Fei in transcending tribulation, it would be incredibly effective against various opponents, whether they be Martial Gods, Deity Transformation cultivators, or exotic beasts. They would all find it exceedingly difficult to face Lin Fei. His Saber World was already strong, and now, with the addition of the mirage beast's illusionary arts, it had become even more formidable. How could anyone contend against it?

"Thank you for your assistance, friend Mi Tian," Lin Fei said calmly.

However, the expression on the Heart Demon Martial God's face was complex. "You've already mastered the use of the mirage beast's power and even integrated it with your Saber World. Anyone who becomes your opponent..." He shook his head as if contemplating a nightmare. The Heart Demon Martial God certainly did not wish to become Lin Fei's enemy.

After leaving Lin Fei, the Heart Demon Martial God seemed inspired to return and study the mirage beast's lineage, striving to understand the Law of Illusion more profoundly. He could no longer afford to be vulnerable to Lin Fei's illusions within the Saber World.

Lin Fei, returning to his secret chamber, was quite satisfied with the integration of the mirage beast and his Saber World, meeting his expectations. He didn't waste the five Saber World sanctuaries he had received, immediately integrating them with his own Saber World. This significantly increased its power, aiding him in facing his fifth heavenly tribulation.

However, Lin Fei was not in a hurry to undergo the tribulation. Having tasted the benefits of the world's origin energy before, he was keen on acquiring a significant amount again.

Lin Fei visited the Great Dream City, where many missions involved recruiting companions to contest for world origin energies.

However, Lin Fei's standards had risen; a mere small world did not interest him much in terms of world origin energy. His last venture into the True Spirit Realm, nearly equivalent to ten small worlds, set his benchmark.

Therefore, he sought a powerful small world, preferably one comparable or even superior to the True Spirit Realm, especially one nearing collapse for quick access to its world origin energy.

Finding a world that met Lin Fei's criteria was not easy. For instance, the currently popular Hevenly Secret Realm was said to be even more powerful than the True Spirit Realm, attracting many Deity Transformation and Martial God cultivators for its world origin energy.

However, it required extensive planning over thousands of years, which Lin Fei lacked the patience for. Therefore, he dismissed the Heavenly Secret Realm from his consideration.

Next, Lin Fei considered the Seven-colored Realm, which had been contested for thousands of years without signs of imminent collapse. He ruled it out as well. Many other small worlds were too weak to pique his interest. After a thorough evaluation, only one small world barely met Lin Fei's criteria: the Heavenly Principle Realm.

The Heavenly Principle Realm was roughly half the size of the True Spirit Realm, and its world origin energy was likely half as much. However, it was still a considerably large small world, and crucially, it was on the brink of collapse. Many Martial Gods from the Great Dream Sect were already involved, and the sect was seeking additional support.

Lin Fei contemplated, "If I collaborate with several Martial Gods, how much of the world origin energy would I actually receive, considering the small size of the Heavenly Principle Realm?" He realized that if he acted alone and dominated the Heavenly Principle Realm, even though it was smaller than the True Spirit Realm, he could potentially obtain the same amount of world origin energy as he did in the True Spirit Realm.

His eyes lit up with this realization. In the True Spirit Realm, he had only acquired half of the world origin energy, roughly equivalent to the total world origin energy of the Heavenly Principle Realm. Thus, Lin Fei harbored a bold idea: he didn't want to collaborate with others; he aimed to monopolize the world origin energy of the Heavenly Principle Realm.

However, the situation in the Heavenly Principle Realm was complex, with many forces involved and plans that spanned thousands of years. If Lin Fei interfered and attempted to take over the entire realm, would those people and forces agree?

Moreover, it could potentially involve True Monarchs, as it was unlikely that these forces and individuals didn't have True Monarchs backing them. Nevertheless, Lin Fei had his own backing; he was a member of the Great Dream Sect.

Under normal circumstances, a True Monarch wouldn't personally intervene against a Martial God. But those were just ordinary situations. If provoked, a True Monarch might indeed take action. Martial Ancestors and True Immortals need not be feared; their intervention would surely draw the attention of the Great Dream Ancestor. After all, their involvement would be seen as excessive bullying, a concept entirely different from a True Monarch's potential engagement.

"True Monarch..." Lin Fei murmured. True Monarchs were powerful, capable of shattering the void or comprehending the secrets of the vacuum. However, if Lin Fei obtained the world origin energy from the Heavenly Principle Realm and survived his fifth heavenly tribulation, his power might soar to the level of shattering the void. He was already nearing the limit of a Martial God. Even if his power post-fifth tribulation didn't match a True Monarch's, it wouldn't be far off. If a True Monarch did intervene, Lin Fei believed he could withstand it.

"There's no way to be completely risk-free," he thought. "The Initial Evil True Monarch dominated a small world with tens of thousands of avatars. I don't have that many avatars. Perhaps I need to collaborate with a Deity Transformation cultivator."

Lin Fei thought of North Wind True Person, but he had passed away. Finding another Deity Transformation cultivator might be possible, but the thought of sharing the spoils with another made Lin Fei somewhat reluctant.

"Wait, can my Saber World now envelop an entire small world? If I expand the Saber World without regard for its power, even covering the whole small world, just to collect the world origin energy, that should be feasible, right?"

A flash of inspiration struck Lin Fei. He had thought of a plan!

516. Descends on Heavenly Principle Realm, Time-Limited Cleansing!

At the entrance to the Heavenly Principle Realm in the Divine Realm, a multitude of Martial Gods and Deity Transformation cultivators had gathered. They hesitated to enter the realm, displaying a mix of reluctance and fear.

The Heavenly Principle Realm was on the verge of collapse, and inside, battles raged fiercely, with several Martial Gods having already fallen. Thus, intervening in the Heavenly Principle Realm was fraught with danger, and not everyone possessed the courage to do so.

However, they were unwilling to walk away, hoping for an opportunity to seize some advantages. They waited on the periphery, ready to rush in and share the spoils once the chance arose.

Suddenly, a streak of light flashed through the void. As the light dissipated, a figure emerged. Plain and unremarkable at first glance, this person's appearance sent a shock through some observers, their eyes narrowing in recognition.

"Is that Lin Fei, the Martial God from the Great Dream Sect?"

"Yes, that's Lin Fei from the Ancient Covenant Great Dream Sect!"

"Are you talking about the Lin Fei who joined forces with the Heart Demon Martial God and North Wind True Person?"

"Why is Lin Fei here in the Heavenly Principle Realm? Is he planning to intervene?"

"I heard that North Wind True Person has disappeared, likely fallen for good. Without him, wouldn't Lin Fei, a mere Martial God, be just setting the stage for others by intervening in the Heavenly Principle Realm?"

"Lin Fei has come alone, probably at the invitation of another Deity Transformation cultivator. Without North Wind True Person, does that mean there are no other Deity Transformation cultivators?"

"This Lin Fei is said to be incredibly powerful, bearing a resemblance to the once-famed Initial Evil True Person."

With Lin Fei's arrival, the many powerful beings gathered at the entrance of the Heavenly Principle Realm quickly made way for him. They certainly did not wish to be misunderstood by Lin Fei.

Observing this, Lin Fei felt a slight sense of sentimentality. In the Divine Realm, he was no longer an unknown figure. His mere presence caused others to automatically clear a path for him, signifying his widespread reputation in the Divine Realm.

However, it was likely more of an infamy than fame, especially after his actions in the True Spirit Realm, where he had offended many.

Regardless of whether it was fame or infamy, Lin Fei's arrival made others retreat, demonstrating his deterrence power. Approaching the entrance, Lin Fei scanned the situation inside.

The realm was in chaos, with Deity Transformation cultivators' avatars and Martial Gods engaged in fierce battles. The entire Heavenly Principle Realm was in a precarious state, possibly on the verge of collapse, which would release the world origin energy.

Lin Fei needed time to collect this energy and to make some preparations. Without further ado, he stepped forward and, with a "whoosh," entered the Heavenly Principle Realm.

The Heavenly Principle Realm was a world where everything was "large." Plants, rocks, mountain ranges, forests, and even the exotic beasts were enormous. It was inhabited by a race known as the "Giant Spirits," who were also quite large and ruled the entire realm.

However, the Giant Spirits had now completely submitted to the invading Martial Gods and Deity Transformation cultivators, as their strongest were only comparable to Martial Kings, no match for the more powerful invaders.

As Lin Fei stepped into the Heavenly Principle Realm, he immediately felt numerous malicious gazes sweeping over him. Undeterred, he called out loudly, "All Martial Gods and Deity Transformation cultivators in the Heavenly Principle Realm, listen up! You have one hour to leave the Heavenly Principle Realm. Anyone still here after an hour will be killed without mercy by me!"

His voice, calm yet clear, resonated throughout the entire realm, causing a stir both inside and outside the Heavenly Principle Realm.

"Is that Lin Fei? The Martial God who swept through the True Spirit Realm?"

"He's too arrogant, trying to clear the Heavenly Principle Realm. What is he planning? To emulate Initial Evil True Person?"

"Lin Fei had the help of the Heart Demon Martial God and North Wind True Person previously. Now, as a mere Martial God without any Deity Transformation assistance, even if he dominates the Heavenly Principle Realm, how much world origin energy can he really obtain?"

"We've spent thousands of years planning in the Heavenly Principle Realm. How can we just leave like this?"

"I don't believe Lin Fei would really clear the realm. Even if he tries, we Deity Transformation cultivators have numerous avatars. How long can he keep up?"

Many Deity Transformation cultivators and Martial Gods within the Heavenly Principle Realm were angered. However, those who refused to leave were mainly the Deity Transformation cultivators, relying on their countless avatars.

Martial Gods, on the other hand, hesitated. Despite their reluctance, they didn't have the confidence of the Deity Transformation cultivators. Offending Lin Fei and facing his wrath could lead to their complete downfall. After all, Lin Fei's notoriety was well known – ruthless and decisive. No Martial God dared to claim they could withstand him.

"Let's go. We'll leave the Heavenly Principle Realm first and see how Lin Fei handles this."

"Exactly, let's step back and watch how Lin Fei alone can collect the world origin energy."

"Lin Fei relies on his strength, but those Deity Transformation cultivators with numerous avatars won't leave easily. How many of their avatars can he possibly kill by himself?"

Many Martial Gods left the Heavenly Principle Realm with reluctance, uttering harsh words, but they still obediently departed. At the realm's passageway, streaks of light flew out one after another, each representing a Martial God leaving the scene.

Among them were several well-known and influential Martial Gods who had once stirred up storms within the Heavenly Principle Realm. Now, however, they left with faces grim and full of resentment.

This scene left onlookers outside the Heavenly Principle Realm in awe, and they couldn't help but envy the power of Lin Fei's reputation. The mere words of Lin Fei, the Martial God of the Great Dream Sect, were enough to make countless powerful beings leave obediently.

"Lin Fei's reputation is indeed widespread. The situation in the Heavenly Principle Realm is about to change dramatically."

"Mostly Martial Gods have left, while some Deity Transformation cultivators remain unmoved, obviously thinking that Lin Fei can't handle them," another added.

"Could Martial God Lin Fei be so rash? If he really can't deal with them, wouldn't his words turn into a joke?"

"Maybe Martial God Lin has a backup plan, or maybe not. But Deity Transformation cultivators with numerous avatars are indeed difficult to deal with. Just Lin Fei alone might find it difficult to clear the Heavenly Principle Realm."

"Perhaps among those Deity Transformation cultivators, there are some who will collaborate with him."

Amidst the speculations, everyone was eager to see how a single Martial God would 'cleanse' the Heavenly Principle Realm. Was Lin Fei there at the invitation of a Deity Transformation cultivator for cooperation?

But Lin Fei had asked all Deity Transformation cultivators in the Heavenly Principle Realm to leave, promising to clear the realm after an hour.

Many were closely monitoring the situation in the Heavenly Principle Realm. Time ticked by, and gradually, no more figures were seen leaving through the passageway. Finally, the hour passed.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei, floating in the void of the Heavenly Principle Realm, opened his eyes and declared, "The hour has passed! Those who have not left the Heavenly Principle Realm, need not leave anymore. Stay here forever!"

Lin Fei's voice, cold and resolute, was filled with a commanding and lethal intent.

517. Saber World Expansion

As Lin Fei finished speaking, a white glow emanated from him. This radiance, rippling like waves on water, rapidly spread in all directions. But these were not ordinary ripples; they were the expansion of Lin Fei's Saber World.

The Saber World expanded continuously - ten meters, a hundred meters, then a mile, ten miles, a hundred miles, reaching a thousand miles. It seemed to hit its limit, unable to spread any further.

"Can't expand anymore?" Lin Fei murmured to himself, not surprised, as if he had anticipated this.

Previously, Lin Fei had used his Saber World to sweep through the entire True Spirit Realm. Now, he didn't need to 'sweep' through; he just needed to expand his Saber World as much as possible, even if it meant sacrificing its power.

"World laws, expand!" he commanded.

The next moment, something within Lin Fei's Saber World seemed to 'peel away' – these were the world laws. Each law capable of creating a world could naturally expand the Saber World.

Previously, these world laws were merged with the Saber World, significantly enhancing its power. When integrated, the laws could increase the Saber World's power tenfold or even a hundredfold, allowing Lin Fei's Saber World to subdue Martial Gods and Deity Transformation cultivators.

With the separation of the world laws, Lin Fei's Saber World was purely for expansion, lacking the enhancement of these laws. As a result, it couldn't suppress Martial Gods or Deity Transformation cultivators.

However, Lin Fei had no intention of using the Saber World for suppression. His aim was to cover the entire Heavenly Principle Realm with it, facilitating a better reception of the world origin. Clearing the area was just a secondary objective.

Under the cover of the Saber World, Lin Fei could teleport instantaneously, possessing the ability to traverse the void akin to a True Monarch.

"Is this Lin Fei's Saber World?"

"We know Lin Fei has a Saber World, but why has it expanded so much? Is he trying to cover the entire Heavenly Principle Realm?"

"Though the range of the Saber World has increased, it doesn't seem to be suppressing us. We can break free from it anytime, can't we?"

Indeed, many Deity Transformation cultivators, initially panicked, soon calmed down upon realizing the Saber World's power was weaker than they expected. No matter how strong a Martial God was, he was still just one person. Even if he killed them one by one, how long would that take?

After all, for a Martial God to slay an avatar of a Deity Transformation cultivator, it would require a long journey. And these avatars wouldn't just wait to be slain by Lin Fei; they could flee. If they played a game of hide-and-seek with Lin Fei, dragging out time, how many could he actually kill?

When the Heavenly Principle Realm collapsed and the world origin appeared, there would still be many Deity Transformation avatars to seize it. This seemed like an unsolvable situation. A Martial God, after all, was different from a Deity Transformation; they didn't have as many avatars and couldn't dominate the source of a small world alone.

Ignoring these Deity Transformation cultivators, Lin Fei continued to expand his Saber World. One law, two laws, three laws... He utilized nearly all eighteen world laws, covering about eighty percent of the Heavenly Principle Realm. Although not entirely enveloping it, it was satisfactory for Lin Fei.

Covering eighty percent of the Heavenly Principle Realm meant that Lin Fei could potentially obtain eighty percent of the world origin. Moreover, after clearing the area, he would have time to collect the remaining origin, possibly securing it all, provided it didn't dissipate too quickly.

However, the first step was to 'clear the field,' as the presence of Deity Transformation cultivators in the realm remained an obstacle. Even though his Saber World couldn't block these cultivators, their reliance on numerous avatars was now a weakness.

Within the Saber World, Lin Fei could pinpoint the location of every avatar of the Deity Transformation cultivators. This knowledge was sufficient.

Within the Saber World, these avatars were mere sitting ducks. Instantly, Lin Fei vanished. In his Saber World, he was the dominator, and instantaneous movement was effortless, not straining him in the least.

At that moment, True Person Moke, with dozens of battle avatars and tens of thousands of ordinary avatars, controlled a significant force within the Heavenly Principle Realm. He hadn't left, defiantly declaring, "Others may fear you, Lin Fei, but I, True Person Moke, do not. I've been planning in the Heavenly Principle Realm for three thousand years, and I'm on the verge of reaping the rewards. You want me to leave now? Let's see how you handle my tens of thousands of avatars."

True Person Moke had invested too much in the Heavenly Principle Realm to leave easily. Departing would mean all his efforts were in vain, a cost he couldn't afford. However, the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared before True Person Moke.

"Lin Fei? How did you get here so quickly?" Moke was taken aback, knowing the distance Lin Fei had covered in such a short time was immense. It was akin to the spatial traversal capabilities of a True Monarch.

True Person Moke's mind flashed with insight as he realized the reason behind Lin Fei's actions.

"Could it be instantaneous movement within the Saber World?" As the master of the Saber World, Lin Fei indeed had the ability to move instantaneously within it. True Person Moke had almost forgotten this critical detail. Now he understood why Lin Fei kept expanding his Saber World – it enabled him to move instantly. In the Saber World, Lin Fei was effectively as powerful as a True Monarch.

"Lin Fei, what if you kill this avatar of mine?" True Person Moke said calmly, showing no fear. "Even if you kill all my main battle avatars, I still have ordinary ones. Your expanded Saber World can't suppress the avatars of us Deity Transformation cultivators. Once the Heavenly Principle Realm collapses and the world origin appears, our ordinary avatars can still seize it!"

True Person Moke was surprisingly calm, even though Lin Fei's ability to move instantaneously was unexpected. He had already thought of a countermeasure. Lin Fei frowned at the mention of 'ordinary avatars.' Indeed, this was a problem. Deity Transformation cultivators could create countless ordinary avatars, and Lin Fei's expanded Saber World could not kill these avatars.

"Thank you for the reminder," Lin Fei said. "The ordinary avatars of Deity Transformation cultivators are indeed troublesome. However, there is a solution. Do Deity Transformation cultivators truly never die?"

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Fei's eyes. He recalled the memories of the mirage beast, which he had controlled using a special method. He knew that the mirage beast had effortlessly killed North Wind True Person. Others might not be able to kill Deity Transformation cultivators, but the mirage beast was their nemesis!

Lin Fei hadn't fully refined the mirage beast but had integrated it with his Saber World to form a grand formation – the Ten Directions Heavenly Formation. The next moment, he deployed the formation, and instantly, the mirage beast's illusion descended, successfully pulling True Person Moke into the illusion.

518. Lin Fei's Illusion Kills a Deity Transformation

True Person Moke's eyes widened in disbelief as he found himself surrounded by an endless expanse of white. Then, the scenery shifted, and he seemed to return to his hometown.

"This must be an illusion," he thought, recognizing the falsehood. Yet, when he saw a familiar figure, his heart jolted. "You're not dead..."

True Person Moke was entranced by the figure, completely caught in the illusion. Lin Fei, unaware of the specific illusion True Person Moke experienced, knew from the moment he deployed the Ten Directions Heavenly Formation that his opponent had fallen into the illusory realm. The illusion exploited the victim's vulnerabilities and weaknesses, making them succumb entirely to its influence.

Lin Fei had complete control over True Person Moke in this state.

"Moke, you are steeped in sin and have no right to live," Lin Fei's voice, like a demonic whisper, infiltrated True Person Moke's ears. True Person Moke shuddered, struggling momentarily before his expression softened, even smiling slightly.

The next moment, True Person Moke self-destructed. Simultaneously, his dozens of battle avatars and countless ordinary avatars all self-destructed at the same time.

"What happened? What's wrong with True Person Moke?"

"His presence seems to have vanished."

"Did True Person Moke die?"

"Quick, contact True Person Moke's avatar in the Divine Realm. What? Can't reach him either, likely dead?"

"Could it be Lin Fei?"

"Did Lin Fei kill a Deity Transformation cultivator, causing a complete demise?"

At that moment, the affairs of True Person Moke stirred a vast controversy. In the Heavenly Principle Realm, True Person Moke actually had many friends. These friends soon realized that all of True Person Moke's avatars, whether ordinary or combat ones, were self-destructing. This was highly abnormal.

Lin Fei used an unknown method to compel True Person Moke to commit suicide! A true deity committing suicide meant that all his avatars would do the same, leading to a complete downfall.

However, whether True Person Moke truly perished remained a subject of debate. After all, no one knew if he had just concealed himself. Yet, when Lin Fei confronted the next Deity Transformation, the truth became clear.

With a "swoosh", Lin Fei's figure flashed and he arrived in the Heavenly Principle Realm, in front of Flying Moon True Person. Flying Moon True Person, a Deity Transformation powerhouse, had thirty-eight combat avatars scattered throughout the Heavenly Principle Realm.

Not too many, but still a formidable Deity Transformation figure. Additionally, his ordinary avatars were also distributed everywhere in the realm. The key moment was Lin Fei's arrival. Under Flying Moon True Person's command were many Martial Kings and Nascent Souls. Lin Fei ignored these Martial Kings and Nascent Souls, focusing his gaze on Flying Moon True Person.

"Lin Fei!" Flying Moon True Person was also very cautious. Upon seeing Lin Fei, he did not summon his avatars. He understood that he was no match for Lin Fei even with his all avatars. Instead, it was better to let the avatars remain dispersed across the Heavenly Principle Realm. This was the best strategy against Lin Fei.

"Martial God Lin, did you slay True Person Moke?" Flying Moon True Person inquired.

Lin Fei looked indifferently at Flying Moon True Person and then spoke calmly, "True Person Moke, like you, was reluctant to leave the Heavenly Principle Realm."

"Unwilling to leave? Then I shall ensure he remains here forever," Lin Fei declared. "The same goes for you!"

With that, Lin Fei pointed a finger.

"Ten Directions Heavenly Array!" A humming sound filled the air. Lin Fei's Saber World instantly enveloped Flying Moon True Person.

Flying Moon True Person shuddered, a hint of bewilderment appearing in his eyes. His spirit, even weaker than that of True Person Moke, easily succumbed.

With effortless ease, Lin Fei plunged Flying Moon True Person into an illusion. Those who witnessed Flying Moon True Person's state stood motionless as if struck by a spell, their eyes wide with disbelief.

"What's happening? What's wrong with Flying Moon True Person?"

"Why is he not moving?"

"Has Flying Moon True Person been sealed or suppressed?"

"It doesn't seem so; it's like he's fallen into an illusion."

"An illusion? "Heart Demon Martial God?"

The mention of an illusion immediately brought to mind the Heart Demon Martial God. However, Lin Fei was alone; the Heart Demon Martial God had not accompanied him. Moreover, how could the Heart Demon Martial God contend with all of Flying Moon True Person's avatars? Nevertheless, they were about to witness something truly terrifying.

Approximately fifteen minutes later, the expression on Flying Moon True Person's face gradually relaxed, his eyes clouded with confusion. Seeing this, Lin Fei knew that Flying Moon True Person's spirit was now under his control.

"Flying Moon True Person, you are deeply sinful and unworthy to live," Lin Fei stated dispassionately. "Commit suicide."

This directive mirrored the one given to True Person Moke. And indeed, Flying Moon True Person did as Lin Fei commanded. With a loud "bang," he self-destructed.

Not only this avatar but also the remaining thirty-seven combat avatars and countless ordinary avatars exploded simultaneously. Even in the Divine Realm, the avatars of Flying Moon True Person hidden in various places self-destructed at the same moment.

Flying Moon True Person was dead, completely and utterly fallen.

At this moment, everyone stared in stunned silence at the unfolding scene before them. They were finally convinced that True Person Moke hadn't merely disappeared, but had died, just like Flying Moon True Person. Most likely, both had perished at the hands of Lin Fei.

The method Lin Fei used to slay Flying Moon True Person and True Person Moke wasn't traversing the void or laboriously seeking out each avatar. Instead, it was illusion, controlling the mind, compelling these Deity Transformation powerhouses to take their own lives! Once a Deity Transformation powerhouse contemplated suicide, who could stop them? Thus, even Deity Transformations fell.

Numerous Martial Kings and Nascent Soul cultivators witnessed this event. Lin Fei glanced at them, unconcerned about these Martial Kings and Nascent Souls. His figure vanished instantly, leaving no trace. These Martial Kings and Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't hinder his collection of the world's origin. After all, they weren't qualified to harvest it.

Seeing Lin Fei's disappearance, the many Martial Kings and Nascent Soul cultivators exchanged glances, shock evident in their eyes. Without hesitation, they decided not to linger in the Heavenly Principle Realm any longer. It was too perilous; while they could possibly reap some benefits, the likelihood of being crushed was greater. After all, even Deity Transformations had fallen!

As the numerous Martial Kings and Nascent Souls departed, the news of Lin Fei slaying True Person Moke and Flying Moon True Person spread rapidly. Many Nascent Soul cultivators and Martial Kings had seen it with their own eyes; there could be no mistake.

Furthermore, it was said that Lin Fei had used illusions to control the minds of True Person Moke and Flying Moon True Person, leading the Deity Transformation powerhouses to suicide. Only in this way could two Deity Transformation powerhouses fall in such a short time. Otherwise, even True Monarchs couldn't achieve this. Lin Fei could only have done it this way!

Some even thought of Shen. Some top Martial Gods and Deity Transformations knew of Shen's existence and its potent mind control. But upon investigation, they discovered that Shen too had disappeared, presumably fallen.

Interestingly, before Shen's disappearance, Lin Fei and Heart Demon Martial God had visited his domain, Shen's territory. Suddenly, the "truth" seemed crystal clear.

519. Slaying Deity Transformations Without Hesitation!

"What did you say? Lin Fei used illusions to slay Flying Moon True Person and True Person Moke?"

The news was met with disbelief.

"Absolutely true! Lin Fei, the Martial God, is suspected of possessing a mind-control technique similar to Shen's, capable of compelling Deity Transformation powerhouses to commit suicide. Once they do, no number of avatars can save them."

"Lin Fei's own strength is already immensely formidable, with his Saber World, and now with illusions, he's even more challenging than the former Yuanxie True Person."

"It seems no one but a True Monarch could possibly stand against Lin Fei now."

"Sslaying Deity Transformation cultivators, it's terrifying."

"It looks like the world's origin of the Heavenly Principle Realm will truly belong to Lin Fei alone..."

The news of Lin Fei slaying Flying Moon True Person and True Person Moke spread rapidly. Many Deity Transformation powerhouses in the Heavenly Principle Realm tightened up upon hearing this. No longer did they speak arrogantly; instead, they became cautious in their words and actions. In fact, some Deity Transformations even began to withdraw their avatars slowly. They were not afraid of Lin Fei before because they knew he couldn't slay them.

But now? Lin Fei could not only kill them but also silently compel them to commit suicide. This method was terrifying to even contemplate. Having numerous avatars was no longer a surefire way to stay alive. No one wanted to offend a Martial God capable of making Deity Transformations truly perish.

Thus, when Lin Fei moved to his next target, the third Deity Transformation True Person, he found their residence deserted.

"Gone?" Lin Fei was slightly surprised. Although he had intentionally slowed down after slaying Flying Moon True Person, wanting the news to spread and the Deity Transformation powerhouses to leave voluntarily, his method had proven effective. A large number of Deity Transformation powerhouses had indeed left.

"Boom!"

Just then, a rift appeared in the void of the Heavenly Principle Realm. The Heavenly Principle Realm was collapsing, and strands of the world's origin began to emerge.

However, by this time, nearly all Deity Transformations had already left the realm. At the entrance between the Divine Realm and the Heavenly Principle Realm, many gazed at the collapse and the emerging world's origin, their eyes filled with greed and regret.

After all, some had spent thousands of years establishing their power in the Heavenly Principle Realm, and now, due to Lin Fei's threat, they were forced to retreat. The sight of the world's origin appearing only deepened their unwillingness to leave.

Yet, none dared to step back into the Heavenly Principle Realm. The caution in their eyes was palpable, deterred by the examples of True Person Moke and Flying Moon True Person. Who would dare risk returning to the Heavenly Principle Realm? Life, after all, was more precious than the world's origin.

In an instant, as the world collapsed, a white radiance covered eighty percent of the Heavenly Principle Realm. That was Lin Fei's Saber World. People watched closely, curious about how Lin Fei would harvest the world's origin.

Within the Saber World, Lin Fei looked up at the void, observing the disintegration of the realm and the seeping origin from every corner.

"Saber World, collect!" Lin Fei commanded, and his Saber World began to absorb the world's origin. Every bit within its reach was drawn into Lin Fei's control.

Even the remaining twenty percent of the realm wasn't neglected. Wherever the world's origin was sparse or vanishing, Lin Fei adjusted the Saber World to ensure it absorbed enough essence. Time passed—days went by.

The collapse of a minor world wasn't an overnight event; it required a lengthy duration. After a few days, feeling that most of the world's origin of the Heavenly Principle Realm was harvested, Lin Fei retracted his Saber World.

Continuing further might have accelerated the realm's collapse, potentially trapping him. The complete collapse of a minor world would unleash a terrifying destructive force, capable of instantaneously annihilating Martial Gods and Deity Transformations. Typically, when harvesting a world's origin, one only takes about eighty to ninety percent before hastily departing. Lin Fei followed this prudence.

"Leave," Lin Fei declared, taking a step forward.

"Swoosh."

In an instant, he had left the Heavenly Principle Realm and stood outside the passage between the two realms.

"Swish."

Suddenly, countless gazes fell upon him. Lin Fei was well accustomed to such intense scrutiny. After all, it wasn't his first time being the center of attention. Just like when he left the True Spirit Realm, he was the focus of numerous onlookers.

Of course, Lin Fei understood their interest in him stemmed from the world's origin he had just collected. As long as no one spoke up or tried to stop him, he wouldn't bother with them. However, this time seemed different.

"Martial God Lin, please wait," a voice called out just as Lin Fei prepared to leave.

"Hmm?" Lin Fei glanced around and spotted a Deity Transformation cultivator, merely a combat avatar. But Lin Fei didn't even bother to listen.

"Saber World!" Instantly, his Saber World swept out, enveloping the Deity Transformation powerhouse.

"Martial God Lin, stop..." The Deity Transformation figure was taken aback and tried to say something more, but it was futile. Lin Fei, without a word, had already activated the Saber World, bringing Shen's illusion into play.

"Ten Directions Heavenly Array!" The grand array activated, and the illusion descended. The Deity Transformation was instantly pulled into the illusion and struggled only briefly before succumbing completely.

"You are deeply sinful and unworthy to live," Lin Fei's calm voice resounded, piercing into the ears of the Deity Transformation. The figure seemed to struggle as if trying to wake from the illusion but to no avail. Soon, all struggles ceased.

"Bang." The Deity Transformation self-destructed. At the same time, his other avatars in the vicinity also exploded in unison.

He was dead.

A formidable Deity Transformation, not even given the chance to speak, died for merely obstructing Lin Fei's path. His fall was absolute. Witnessing this, countless powerhouses in the void fell silent. They knew of Lin Fei's ferocity and his decisive nature in killing, but they hadn't anticipated his ruthlessness to such an extent.

Was this a case of killing upon the slightest disagreement? More crucially, he had the power to slay a Deity Transformation so swiftly, a feat not even a True Monarch would dare claim to achieve in such a short span.

In fact, it was something a True Monarch genuinely couldn't accomplish. But Lin Fei had done it. Rumors had already circulated about Lin Fei slaying True Person Moke and Flying Moon True Person, attributed to his ability to control the minds of others and his terrifying illusory techniques.

Some were skeptical at first, but now, any doubts had vanished. This was more than mere illusion; it was almost divine in execution, surpassing Shen and even exceeding the Heart Demon Martial God. And crucially, Lin Fei's own strength was immense.

Who would dare to make a move against such a top-tier Martial God capable of slaying Deity Transformations? Who would dare to obstruct him?

"Anyone else?" Lin Fei's gaze swept across the crowd, his tone as cold as eternal ice, slowly asking the question.

520. A True Monarch Aims to Kill Lin Fei?

In the void of the Divine Realm, at least a hundred Martial Gods and Deity Transformation powerhouses, along with their combat avatars, densely surrounded the area, making it impregnable. Yet, amidst this congregation of formidable beings, an eerie silence prevailed. Every head was bowed, and no one dared to speak. The atmosphere was heavy with tension.

No one answered Lin Fei. No one even dared to meet his gaze directly. Wherever Lin Fei looked, heads were lowered in submission. In this moment, the hearts of many powerful beings trembled with fear.

Lin Fei, with his singular might, had subdued numerous divine-level powerhouses, preventing them from even raising their heads. Even Initial Evil True Person, at his peak with tens of thousands of combat avatars, had never commanded such awe as Lin Fei did at this moment.

"If there are no objections, then I shall take my leave," Lin Fei declared.

"Swoosh."

His figure transformed into a streak of light and swiftly vanished into the void.

With Lin Fei's departure, the crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yet, the thought of Lin Fei's ability to slay a Deity Transformation with a mere thought hung over them like a sword, creating an oppressive and uncomfortable atmosphere.

"Unbelievable! Just as the rumors suggested, Martial God Lin has mastered the art of illusion and can even control the minds of his opponents. Now, even Deity Transformation powerhouses face a threat to their lives when confronting Martial God Lin."

"Lin Fei might not just have mastered illusion. It could be related to Shen. Perhaps Lin Fei slew Shen and acquired some of its illusionary powers."

"Regardless of how Lin Fei obtained his illusionary abilities, the problem now is that he has the strength to slay Deity Transformations. He might well be the number one Martial God in the Divine Realm."

"Indeed, Lin Fei stands unparalleled in the Divine Realm, unmatched in both the past and likely the future," agreed the others, and these affirmations came predominantly from Deity Transformation cultivators.

In truth, their praises for Lin Fei weren't genuine. Nor were they meant to elevate his fame. Instead, their intentions were sinister. Proclaiming Lin Fei as the number one Martial God in the Divine Realm was a strategy, for in the world of martial arts, there is no second in literature and no first in martial prowess.

Ultimately, some Martial Gods, perhaps caring for such empty honors, might challenge Lin Fei. Or those harboring dissatisfaction with Lin Fei might see this as an opportunity. This was sufficient! After all, Lin Fei's existence made all Deity Transformations uneasy. Even True Monarchs couldn't easily slay Deity Transformations at will. Why should they now feel threatened by Lin Fei?

Of course, Shen once possessed such abilities, and many were aware of it. However, Shen was not as ostentatious, and it had weaknesses that could be exploited. But did Lin Fei have any weaknesses? Many pondered their own schemes in light of this development.

......

Back in Ancient City, Lin Fei returned and immediately entered a secluded chamber.

"The five Saber World secret realms have made my Saber World stronger! And now I have so much of the world's origin. Let's see how far these can enhance the particle worlds."

Lin Fei began to utilize these precious world origins. No matter how valuable, they must be put to use. Moreover, they needed to be applied to the edge of his saber.

The world origin Lin Fei had obtained this time was almost equivalent to what he had garnered in the True Spirit Realm. After all, the Heavenly Principle Realm was not small, and he had harvested its entire world origin. This was the advantage of dominance and strength.

With his formidable power, Lin Fei could indeed do as he pleased. He was aware that many Deity Transformation powerhouses were likely plotting against him in secret, even preparing to confront him.

Yet, Lin Fei was unafraid. As long as he continued to grow stronger, these adversaries could only harbor thoughts in their minds and would not dare to act.

As days passed, the world origin significantly enhanced the particles throughout Lin Fei's body. The enhancement wasn't as significant as the last time; previously, it had increased tenfold, but this time, it was merely a doubling. However, even a twofold increase on top of his existing strength was incredibly formidable.

Opening his eyes, Lin Fei realized the world origin was now entirely depleted.

"Particles have doubled in number," Lin Fei reflected. "The Saber World secret realms have increased by five. Including the previously enhanced six hundred particle worlds."

This increase in strength seemed no less significant than the last one. However, Lin Fei was acutely aware that he was about to face his fifth thunder tribulation, and each tribulation was more formidable than the last. While crossing the tribulation would be easy for him, Lin Fei aimed to gain as much understanding of the world's laws as possible, which required even greater strength.

"This time, the power of the particle worlds has greatly surged," he pondered. "I now possess one thousand nine hundred particle worlds. Six hundred of these were created from particles that had previously increased tenfold. Now, all particles have doubled from their original count!"

Lin Fei calculated, "If I face the fifth thunder tribulation now, withstanding five or possibly six heavenly thunders should be feasible. The seventh thunder, however, remains uncertain until I confront it directly."

Lin Fei was clear in his mind. While there was a good chance of withstanding up to six heavenly thunders, he was not sure about the seventh. The exact nature and power of the seventh thunder were unknown to him.

But, in his view, surviving six thunders to gain six world laws was an acceptable outcome. At least, with six laws, it would be easier for him to master a complete Dao in the future and achieve the status of a Martial Ancestor.

Lin Fei didn't aim for the extreme of pursuing ten or eleven laws. It was not worth the immense effort and time required to slowly gather world origin and explore Saber World secret realms. Gaining sufficient world laws was enough. With these thoughts, Lin Fei left his residence.

As Lin Fei was preparing to head to the location for his tribulation, he was suddenly contacted by someone from the Great Dream City.

"Hmm? Someone from the Great Dream City is looking for me?"

Curious, Lin Fei immediately made his way there.

"May I ask if you are Martial God Lin?" Standing before Lin Fei were two Martial Gods from the Great Dream Sect.

"Martial God Lin, Void Transformation True Monarch intends to kill you!"

His opening statement was startling.

"Hmm? A True Monarch wants to kill me?" Lin Fei's eyes flashed with surprise. "How do you know this, and why are you telling me?"

The Martial God smiled slightly, "Please do not misunderstand, Martial God Lin. I am Zuo Yuan, a disciple serving beside our sect's elder. The elder sent me to warn you. As a top-tier Martial God of our Great Dream Sect, it's unacceptable for you to be ambushed unknowingly. If it were just a Martial God-level confrontation, that would be one thing, but the elder won't ignore a threat from a True Monarch level.

However, the Divine Realm is vast, and even with our elder's divine abilities, it's impossible to cover everything. Therefore, as long as you stay within the Ancient Covenant's sphere of influence, our elder can ensure your safety."

Lin Fei respectfully replied, "Thank the elder for his concern."

"It's no trouble. The elder has high hopes for you and hopes to see you achieve True Monarch status soon." After delivering his message, Zuo Yuan left.

"Swish."

Lin Fei opened his eyes, returning his consciousness from the Great Dream City.

"A True Monarch wants to kill me?" He frowned deeply. This matter required thorough investigation, and he needed to find out more about this "Zuo Yuan."
