597. The Descent of the Dark Demon Lord, Supreme Summons All True Immortals and Martial Ancestor!
The tranquil, pitch-black void. This was an empty expanse within the Yinn-Yang Immortal Domain. A radius of a thousand miles, almost entirely devoid of life. It seemed utterly desolate.
No one was willing to venture into this desolate void. It was said that a great battle had once erupted here. After the battle, this place was left in such a state. Complete and utter desolation.
"Crack."
No one knew how much time had passed. In this empty void, cracks began to appear, as if it were glass. These were not spatial ripples nor was it the shattering of the void. Rather, it was as if the void was being annihilated. A strange wave began to spread from the fissures.
"Boom."
Finally, the void shattered. A thick, dense black mist spread throughout the void. The moment this black mist appeared, the entire Divine Realm began to tremble violently.
As if encountering some colossal threat. The laws of the Divine Realm even attempted to suppress this black mist. Yet, the mist was too abundant. It continuously spread from the void into the Divine Realm.
"Buzz."
Eventually, as the black mist reached a certain density, it abruptly condensed into a colossal giant, hundreds of thousands of meters tall, with horns resembling those of an ox.
This giant stood in the void, its gaze cold and indifferent. The black mist appeared to be a force entirely different from the Divine Realm. It could even counter the laws of the Divine Realm.
"So this is the Divine Realm? Finally, I've caught you. This time, your stronghold has been found by me. The entire Divine Realm will become my nourishment!"
The giant, shrouded in black mist, spoke as if shaking the void with its voice.
"Buzz."
In the next moment, one after another, spatial ripples appeared. One by one, powerful entities manifested. Entities far surpassing Martial Ancestors and True Immortals.
If some ancient Martial Ancestor or True Immortals saw these figures, they would be utterly shocked. For these figures were none other than the Supremes, lofty and elusive.
These Supremes were not just one. But several Supremes appeared.
"This is... an extra-dimensional being. Who are you? Our Divine Realm has not offended other dimensional beings. Who are you to invade the Divine Realm?"
These Supremes recognized at a glance that the other party was an extra-dimensional being. The Divine Realm was an ordinary realm. Only the Supremes and some top-tier Martial Ancestors and True Immortals knew this.
In the vast chaos, countless realms were birthed. Within each realm, different forms of life and cultivation systems emerged.
"I am the Dark Demon Lord! You may not have encountered me. But your Radiant Supreme knows of me. Thanks to the Radiant Supreme, I have found your Divine Realm."
"Whoosh."
At that moment, another figure appeared in the void. It was a radiant light, dazzling beyond compare. It was the Radiant Supreme!
"Dark Demon Lord? How did you find this place? Damn it, did you use some means to track me?"
The Radiant Supreme was furious. In the vast chaos, each realm was essentially concealed.
Ordinarily, other beings could not find them unless meticulously searched or by tracking some Supreme stronghold.
Clearly, the Dark Demon Lord had done just that. Using some special method, he tracked the Radiant Supreme to the Divine Realm.
"Radiant Supreme, you ruined my plans in the Boro Domain. Did you think I would not respond? So, enjoy your remaining time. My Dark Demon army will soon march upon your Divine Realm, hahaha..."
"Kill!"
The Radiant Supreme struck instantly. The other three Supremes also joined in. In an instant, they pulverized the body of the Dark Demon Lord into dust. Even the shattered void restored itself.
It seemed as though nothing had changed around them. As if everything that had just happened was an illusion. But everyone knew, it was no illusion. It was a real event. And the Divine Realm was in great danger. Its location had been exposed. They had been targeted by an extra-dimensional stronghold.
As for the Dark Demon Lord, it was merely a projection. His true body was still within the chaos, separated by countless realms.
"Radiant Supreme, who exactly is this extra-dimensional being?"
"Yes, how did we provoke this extra-dimensional being?"
"The Boro Domain, isn't that where the Radiant Supreme recently traveled?"
Many Supremes' gazes fixated on the Radiant Supreme. They sought to understand the full story.
The Radiant Supreme's face darkened. In a deep voice, he said, "The being just now was the Dark Demon Lord, hailing from the Dark Demon Domain. He is the Ruler of the Dark Demon Domain! We once crossed paths in the Boro Domain. The Dark Demon Lord sought to enslave the Boro Domain, which I thwarted. Thus, he tracked me here. Now, our Divine Realm is in trouble. The Dark Demon Lord's army is terrifying, and he commands many Supremes as well..."
Hearing the Radiant Supreme's words, everyone fell silent. The Dark Demon Lord was a Ruler, a being of above Supreme!
In fact, the realm of a Ruler is equivalent to that of a Supreme. There is no essential difference between the two. In the vast chaos, a Ruler's power is not significantly different from that of a Supreme. The only distinction is that a Ruler is the overlord of a realm.
Within that realm, they can wield the realm's power, easily suppressing Supremes. Thus, the Dark Demon Lord could wield all the power of the Dark Demon Domain.
And what of the other Supremes? They dared not invade the Dark Demon Domain. Once they did, the Ruler could suppress them instantly. Having a Ruler in a realm meant it was nearly invincible.
For the Dark Demon Lord to grow stronger, he had to continually enslave other realms. Devouring other realms, turning them into nourishment for the Dark Demon Domain.
The stronger the Dark Demon Domain, the stronger the Dark Demon Lord became. It was for this reason that the Dark Demon Lord acted so recklessly, wanting to invade the Divine Realm.
Listening to the Radiant Supreme, everyone grew silent.
"Radiant Supreme, by what you say, our Divine Realm is indeed in great trouble."
"Indeed, with just us Supremes, we might not be a match for the Dark Demon Lord."
"Once the invasion begins, our Divine Realm will be on the defensive."
"Moreover, many Supremes are not in the Divine Realm. We must notify them, come together, and find a way to survive this calamity."
"If the Divine Realm is devoured by the Dark Demon Lord, many of us Supremes will become rootless drifters."
"Unfortunately, our Divine Realm has never birthed a Ruler. Despite having so many Supremes, none have become Rulers..."
For a moment, many Supremes had numerous plans. But lacking a Ruler was the Divine Realm's greatest weakness. Thus, one by one, the Supremes departed to make arrangements.
The war might come soon.
...
"The essence of Martial Ancestor lies in the Great Dao! Yet, to elevate my World Dao is as hard as ascending to the heavens. I can only enhance the world's level. But enhancing the world's level requires the birth of life within it. This takes an incredibly long time."
Lin Fei was in a secluded chamber. He frowned deeply. After achieving Martial Ancestor, his cultivation had stagnated. He couldn't advance further.
The only way was to wait for a long time. Wait for the world to birth life.
At this moment, Lin Fei suddenly heard a voice: "Lin Fei, hasten to the Ancient Covenant headquarters. The Supreme has emerged, summoning all Martial Ancestors and True Immortals of the Ancient Covenant."
It was the voice of the Great Dream Ancestor.
"A summons from the Supreme?"
Lin Fei was startled. The elusive Supremes were summoning all True Immortals and Martial Ancestor. Clearly, something significant had occurred. Yet, he didn't know what it was. But the chance to see a Supreme...
Lin Fei immediately left his cave and flew towards the Ancient Covenant headquarters.
598. The Supreme Summons, Divine Realm in Crisis!
Before long, Lin Fei arrived at the Ancient Covenant headquarters.
Led by some headquarters personnel, Lin Fei entered the grand hall of the headquarters.
At this moment, many True Immortals and Martial Gods were already present. All of them had been seen by Lin Fei at the Martial Ancestor ceremony. Each bore a grave expression.
"Master, what has happened?" Lin Fei quietly asked the Great Dream Ancestor.
The Great Dream Ancestor shook his head and replied softly, "I don't know. All I know is that the Supreme has summoned us Martial Ancestors and True Immortals. No one knows the specifics. However, it's very rare for the Supreme to appear, let alone summon all of us.
Such a gathering usually only happens when the Ancient Covenant faces life-or-death situations, or when we engage in decisive battles with other forces. But this time, it seems our Ancient Covenant isn't in any immediate danger, nor are we preparing for a decisive battle with any force."
The Great Dream Ancestor was uncertain, and other Martial Ancestors and True Immortals shared the same puzzled expressions. Clearly, no one knew the exact situation. Perhaps only the Supreme knew.
The two Supremes of the Ancient Covenant were the pillars of the entire covenant. While the Martial Ancestor and True Immortals constituted the covenant's elite combat strength and core, the two Supremes ensured the covenant's formidable status. It was because of these two Supremes that the Ancient Covenant continued to stand tall in the Divine Realm, its reputation resounding far and wide.
"Buzz."
In the next moment, two figures materialized in the grand hall. They were none other than the two Supremes of the Ancient Covenant, the Azure Emperor Supreme, and the White Cloud Supreme!
Back then, the Azure Emperor Supreme was a Martial Ancestor, and the White Cloud Supreme was a True Immortal. Both had risen from the Ancient Covenant to the Divine Realm. Later, they ascended to become Supremes!
This indicated that Martial Ancestors and True Immortals from the Ancient Continent could still achieve the rank of Supreme.
However, over the years, the Ancient Covenant still only had two Supremes. It demonstrated just how difficult it was to become a Supreme. Many Martial Ancestors and True Immortals had their cultivation stagnate, unable to find the path forward.
Indeed, once one achieved the status of Martial Ancestor or True Immortal, many lost their motivation. After all, Martial Ancestors and True Immortals, as long as they remained in the Divine Realm, were immortal and indestructible.
As long as the Divine Realm faced no issues, neither would they. Even becoming a Supreme merely made them more powerful. Why expend effort and energy to continue cultivating?
When a cultivator lost motivation or had insufficient drive, their cultivation efficiency diminished greatly. Becoming Supreme seemed to hold little significance for many Martial Ancestors and True Immortals.
At this moment, the two Supremes scanned the room with solemn expressions.
The Azure Emperor Supreme slowly spoke, "Apart from the three Hermits still traveling, all other Martial Ancestors and True Immortals are present. This time, we have summoned you to prepare for battle. This battle will be extremely difficult. You must prepare with all your might, even to the point of risking your lives. It could be a year, one hundred years, or perhaps just a few months.
No one knows when the war will begin. During this time, you must do everything possible to increase your strength and combat capability. This time, it concerns the entire Divine Realm. Every Supreme, every Martial Ancestor, and True Immortal will go to battle. If anyone is unwilling to fight, I will personally ensure they are not spared!"
The Azure Emperor Supreme's tone was unyielding, filled with a menacing intent. Although True Immortals and Martial Ancestors were immortal and indestructible, the Supremes had the power to kill.
Supremes could completely imprison the Great Dao that True Immortals had merged with. Ultimately, they could forcibly separate the True Immortal from the Dao of the Divine Realm.
Naturally, this would result in the True Immortal's death. Killing a Martial Ancestor was even easier. The power of a Supreme was boundless, making the killing of a Martial Ancestor effortless.
Thus, the so-called immortality of True Immortals and Martial Ancestor was, in fact, relative. Without accidents or dangers, they were indeed immortal. But if an accident occurred, and they were killed, they would still perish!
The crowd was puzzled. What could possibly threaten the Ancient Covenant, or even place the entire Divine Realm in danger? What could force even the Supremes to mobilize urgently?
"Supreme, what exactly are we facing?" Unity True Immortal couldn't help but ask.
The other True Immortals exchanged glances, equally perplexed.
Only some ancient True Immortals showed deep, contemplative expressions as if they vaguely guessed the reason.
The White Cloud Supreme slowly said, "Some True Immortals and Martial Ancestors know, but some do not, that our Divine Realm is merely a realm. Beyond our Divine Realm lies the vast chaos. In this chaos, there are numerous realms.
Typically, it is the Supremes who venture into the chaos to explore and roam. The chaos is filled with opportunities but also with great dangers. For instance, realms must never reveal their locations to each other. Some powerful beings devour realms to enhance themselves.
This time, our Divine Realm has encountered trouble. A Ruler of the Dark Demon Domain, the Dark Demon Lord, has discovered the location of our Divine Realm.
Hence, the Dark Demon Lord will soon send the army of the Dark Demon Domain to conquer our Divine Realm. The Dark Demon Lord's true aim is to completely devour the Divine Realm or transform it into nourishment to bolster his strength.
Our Divine Realm lacks a Ruler and cannot withstand the Dark Demon Lord. However, once he enters the Divine Realm, he is no longer a Ruler, thus he will seek ways to gradually weaken the Divine Realm.
To weaken the Divine Realm, the best method is to wage war. Constant slaughter, destruction, and devastation will naturally diminish the Divine Realm. Your sole advantage is that within the Divine Realm, True Immortals are immortal. Even Martial Ancestors are difficult to kill. Your immortality is your only advantage.
However, the strength of the Dark Demon Domain is formidable. This could be an epoch-spanning, protracted war that concerns the survival of the entire Divine Realm. If the Divine Realm is destroyed by the Dark Demon Lord, True Immortals, being closely linked to the Divine Realm, will suffer the same fate.
Similarly, Martial Ancestor will fare no better. Without the Divine Realm, entering the chaos would mean certain death. So, return and prepare. Do everything in your power to enhance your strength!"
The White Cloud Supreme explained clearly, laying out the cause and effect. He even analyzed the pros and cons thoroughly. If the Divine Realm were to be destroyed, the Supremes might still escape and wander the chaos.
But what about Martial Ancestors and True Immortals? They would face inevitable death!
Martial Ancestor and True Immortals had no choice. They had to fight to the death. That was the only way!
"Alright, return to your preparations. If the dark demons of the Dark Demon Domain arrive, I will notify you."
"Thank you, Supreme!"
Thus, Lin Fei, the Great Dream Ancestor, and the others quickly got up and left the Ancient Covenant headquarters.
Lin Fei and the Great Dream Ancestor exchanged looks, seemingly unable to believe the words of the Supremes. However, the Supremes would not deceive them about such matters. Since the Supremes said the situation was dire, it truly was.
"Master."
"Lin Fei, the Supremes have made it very clear. This is a matter of life and death for the Divine Realm. We have no choice but to fight to the death. True Immortals may be immortal, but we Martial Ancestors are different. When the war begins, it is likely that we Martial Ancestors will suffer the most casualties. If we die, we truly perish. So, when you return, do whatever it takes to enhance your strength, especially your survival abilities."
Lin Fei nodded and said, "Master, I understand."
"Alright, go back and prepare. I must also make my preparations."
With that, the Great Dream Ancestor and Lin Fei parted ways and flew back to their respective abodes.
599. Martial Ancestor Lin Descends Upon Eternal Light Realm, Forcefully Seizes World Laws
Lin Fei returned to his residence and went directly into his secluded chamber.
"Chaos, realms, extra-dimensional beings..."
Today, Lin Fei learned many secrets from the Supremes. Or rather, he learned the "truth" of this world. The Divine Realm was merely one of many realms in the chaos. Even the Divine Realm could collapse. Once the Divine Realm was invaded or devoured by beings from other realms, the supposed immortality of True Immortals would become a joke.
Although the Supremes claimed they could roam the chaos, in reality, they did not want to lose the Divine Realm. After all, the Divine Realm was their foundation! However, Lin Fei also discerned some implications.
"True Immortals are fundamentally one with the Divine Realm. They thrive and fall together, inseparable. But if a True Immortal achieves Supreme status, it seems to be different. Supremes can travel through chaos and even completely leave the Divine Realm. Even if the Divine Realm is destroyed, the Supremes wouldn't suffer significant losses. So, it seems that once a True Immortal becomes a Supreme, they can detach from the Divine Realm."
A gleam of determination flashed in Lin Fei's eyes.
Lin Fei didn't know the path to becoming a Supreme. He didn't even have a direction. The Supremes had not revealed it. But from their few words, Lin Fei could deduce some information about Supremes.
Of course, this was not important. What Lin Fei needed now was to increase his strength at any cost. Only by increasing his strength could he survive the upcoming war.
"To increase my strength, there are two methods. One is for the Eternal Realm to birth life, but that can only be waited for gradually. It is impossible in a short time. The second method is through the Saber World. If the Saber World can continue to expand, its power will also grow rapidly. To enhance the Saber World, aside from merging with other Saber Worlds, it needs to merge with the world laws of other small worlds. Previously, as a True Monarch, I couldn't extract the world laws of True Monarch-level worlds. But now that I am a Martial Ancestor, it is different..."
A glint of determination flashed in Lin Fei's eyes. He had thought of a way to increase his strength. However, this method was indeed somewhat insane.
Moreover, it could cause extensive damage or even destruction to many worlds. But the Supremes had made it clear. That was to increase strength at any cost. As long as it could enhance his power, he should do it.
"I can extract the world laws of small worlds and True Monarch-level worlds. True Monarch-level world laws would be the most effective in enhancing the power of the Saber World. Even a completely intact True Monarch-level world can be extracted. Now, which True Monarch-level world should I go to?"
Lin Fei recalled the information about True Monarch-level worlds. Soon, he had a target in mind. He thought of a True Monarch-level world, the Eternal Light Realm!
The Eternal Light Realm was the largest known True Monarch-level world in the Divine Realm. Moreover, it had birthed the Eternal Light True Monarch!
Hardly anyone dared to offend the Eternal Light True Monarch or make a move against the Eternal Light Realm. Besides, neither Martial Ancestors nor True Immortals could destroy the Eternal Light Realm.
Lin Fei had visited the Eternal Light Realm before but had done nothing there. This time, it would be different.
"Let's go."
Without any hesitation, Lin Fei stepped into the spatial passage. Then, he traversed the void, disappearing from sight.
...
The Eternal Light Realm remained as peaceful and harmonious as ever.
As the largest known True Monarch-level world in the Divine Realm, the Eternal Light Realm was very famous. Its renown spread throughout the entire Divine Realm.
Moreover, it produced the Eternal Light True Monarch. The Eternal Light True Monarch was a top-tier True Monarch. Apart from True Immortals and Martial Ancestor, who could confidently claim to defeat the Eternal Light True Monarch?
As a result, the Eternal Light Realm was highly prosperous. The Eternal Light True Monarch adopted an open attitude, not prohibiting people from the Divine Realm from entering the Eternal Light Realm.
"Buzz."
Suddenly, spatial ripples began to spread outside the Eternal Light Realm. Many people noticed these spatial ripples.
"Which True Monarch has arrived?"
"The Eternal Light Realm certainly attracts a lot of True Monarchs, constantly coming and going."
"Indeed, being the largest True Monarch-level world in the Divine Realm, it's normal to see many True Monarchs."
Seeing the spatial ripples, many were not surprised. Only a True Monarch could traverse space. Someone traversing space was undoubtedly a True Monarch-level or higher expert.
"Whoosh."
In the next moment, a figure stepped out from the spatial passage.
"Is that... Martial Ancestor Lin?"
"Yes, it's Martial Ancestor Lin!"
"Why has Martial Ancestor Lin come to the Eternal Light Realm?"
"Martial Ancestor Lin, a legend of our Divine Realm."
"I never expected Martial Ancestor Lin to come to the Eternal Light Realm. Is he planning to enter the Eternal Light Realm?"
"Martial Ancestor cannot enter a True Monarch-level world. If they do, the True Monarch-level world would explode."
Many people saw the figure emerging from the void and became excited.
They respectfully greeted, "Greetings, Martial Ancestor!"
Lin Fei was no longer an unknown figure. On the contrary, his reputation was illustrious. His fame had spread throughout the entire Divine Realm.
Now, Lin Fei was a revered Martial Ancestor. Many knew of him. Therefore, as soon as Lin Fei appeared, many people bowed respectfully.
Lin Fei did not speak. He simply gazed quietly at the Eternal Light Realm. The Eternal Light Realm before him was not unfamiliar. He had visited the Eternal Light Realm once before.
But the last time, Lin Fei didn't stay long. He hadn't sensed anything significant and left. This time, Lin Fei returned. The Eternal Light Realm was bustling with people. There were many inhabitants.
However, Lin Fei didn't mind. He took a deep breath.
"Boom."
Instantly, Lin Fei transformed into the Eternal Realm. The Eternal Realm expanded directly towards the Eternal Light Realm. He intended to "swallow" the Eternal Light Realm!
Lin Fei did not enter the Eternal Light Realm. Instead, he aimed to directly "swallow" it. For a moment, everyone was stunned!
"Martial Ancestor, spare us."
"Your Majesty, Martial Ancestor, what has the Eternal Light Realm done to offend you, to warrant your personal intervention?"
"Your Majesty Martial Ancestor, aren't you afraid of the wrath of other True Immortals and Martial Ancestor for attacking the Eternal Light Realm?"
Fear and panic spread among the people. Lin Fei was actually attempting to "swallow" the Eternal Light Realm.
At this moment, the Eternal Light True Monarch also noticed the vast expanse of the Eternal Realm covering the sky. He was aware of Lin Fei's arrival.
However, it was too late for him to react. Once Lin Fei unleashed the Eternal Realm, it enveloped the entire Eternal Light Realm almost instantly.
Looking up, the void was filled with the Eternal Realm.
"Boom."
The Eternal Light Realm shook violently. But it was of no use. Lin Fei's Eternal Realm represented the genuine power of a Martial Ancestor.
No matter how strong the Eternal Light Realm was, it couldn't escape the suppression of the Eternal Realm.
Addressing the panic of the Eternal Light Realm's inhabitants, Lin Fei spoke.
"This trip of mine is solely for the world laws of the Eternal Light Realm. All of you, remain calm and wait quietly in the Eternal Light Realm. Once I have extracted the world laws, I will leave!"
Lin Fei made his intentions clear.
"Martial Ancestor Lin wants to extract the world laws of the Eternal Light Realm?"
"What? Martial Ancestor Lin has gone to such lengths just to extract world laws?"
"But if he extracts the world laws, won't the Eternal Light Realm be severely damaged and destabilized?"
"There will definitely be an impact, but the Eternal Light Realm won't collapse."
"Is this really Martial Ancestor Lin? Acting so recklessly, doesn't he fear the True Immortals behind the Eternal Light True Monarch? Or the True Immortals and Martial Ancestor behind us many True Monarchs?"
Many were displeased with Lin Fei. They felt he was acting with impunity. He seemed to completely disregard the True Immortals and Martial Ancestor supporting them.
However, they were helpless at this moment. They could only watch as Lin Fei forcibly seized the world laws of the Eternal Light Realm.
600. True Immortal's Interference!
The Eternal Light Realm trembled violently. Many thought the end of the world had come. Fear gripped everyone.
Yet, Lin Fei remained calm. Though the Eternal Realm was merely a small world and the Eternal Light Realm a True Monarch-level world, making the Eternal Realm seemingly weaker, the situation was reversed now.
Lin Fei's Eternal Realm actually suppressed the Eternal Light Realm. Moreover, the Eternal Light Realm had no power to resist. This was the difference when Lin Fei transformed into the world and fully controlled it. It far surpassed any other small world in the Divine Realm.
"Seize the world laws!"
After the Eternal Realm suppressed the Eternal Light Realm, Lin Fei could also suppress its world laws. He forcibly extracted the world laws from the Eternal Light Realm. The Eternal Light Realm shook violently.
Of course, Lin Fei left a trace of the world laws intact. This would severely weaken the Eternal Light Realm, but over time, it could slowly recover the lost world laws.
Despite the long recovery time, the benefit was that the Eternal Light Realm wouldn't collapse. However, for now, the Eternal Light Realm was in upheaval, akin to an apocalypse.
The Eternal Light True Monarch gritted his teeth but said nothing, his gaze fixed on Lin Fei.
"Retrieve."
Lin Fei had obtained the world laws of the Eternal Light Realm. He retracted the Eternal Realm. The Eternal Light Realm returned to normal, albeit severely weakened.
Throughout the entire ordeal, the Eternal Light True Monarch remained silent. He had sent a message to a True Immortal from his backing force, hoping the True Immortal would seek justice.
However, up until now, True Immortal had not appeared. It was known that True Immortals could traverse the void in an instant. There was no reason for such a delay. The True Immortal's absence spoke volumes.
"On to the next world."
Lin Fei did not linger. He immediately traversed space and disappeared.
Seeing Lin Fei vanish, the numerous True Monarchs couldn't help but start discussing.
"Isn't Martial Ancestor Lin too overbearing?"
"Aren't Martial Ancestors and True Immortals seldom supposed to directly attack a True Monarch-level world? How could Martial Ancestor Lin act so recklessly and directly target the Eternal Light Realm?"
"Usually, if a Martial Ancestor acted so brazenly, other True Immortals or Martial Ancestor would step in to stop them. At the very least, they would intervene. But this time? Many True Immortals and Martial Ancestors have remained silent and have not intervened. There's definitely something more to this."
"Martial Ancestor Lin is in a hurry to seize True Monarch-level worlds, even acting personally. Something must have happened that forces Martial Ancestor Lin to urgently enhance his strength. But it seems like Martial Ancestor Lin will target the next True Monarch-level world. Will no one really stop him?"
Amidst their discussion, there was a growing realization that something significant must have happened to prompt Lin Fei's aggressive actions. For a time, many were dissatisfied with Lin Fei's domineering approach.
However, Lin Fei was a Martial Ancestor, exalted and untouchable. They were powerless. Only other Martial Ancestors or True Immortals could contend with him.
...
In the vast void.
Lin Fei took a step forward. He saw a world not far away.
"Gaint Spirit True Realm!"
Lin Fei gazed at the world before him. This was also a True Monarch-level world, known as the Gaint Spirit True Realm.
Moreover, this world was quite peculiar. All life within it, whether plant, animal, or native life forms, was exceedingly large. Especially the native life forms.
Ordinarily, they stood about thirty meters tall. With successful cultivation, they could reach ten thousand meters or even tens of thousands of meters!
Hence, the name "Gaint Spirit" in the world's title was quite fitting.
Lin Fei did not act immediately. He summoned the Saber World.
"Whoosh."
Lin Fei's Saber World descended.
"Let's see to what extent the world laws of the Eternal Light Realm can enhance the Saber World."
Currently, Lin Fei's Saber World was merely at the True Monarch level. Even at its peak, it was still only at the True Monarch level. When the great battle erupted and the strong from the Dark Demon Domain invaded, Lin Fei would have to face Martial Ancestor and True Immortal-level opponents.
Thus, no matter how powerful the True Monarch-level Saber World became, it would not be of much use to Lin Fei. Therefore, the Saber World must be enhanced.
Ideally, it should be elevated to the level of Martial Ancestor or True Immortal. Only then could it significantly bolster Lin Fei's strength and be effective in the impending war.
"Fusion."
After the Saber World descended, Lin Fei immediately brought out the world laws of the Eternal Light Realm. Instantly, the world laws merged into the Saber World.
"Boom."
The power of Lin Fei's Saber World surged dramatically. Moreover, the Saber World began to expand rapidly. It even started to undergo a slight transformation. The integration of the world laws had an immediate effect.
However, the Saber World still hadn't completely transformed to the level of Martial Ancestor or True Immortal. It remained at the peak of the True Monarch level.
The gap between True Monarch and Martial Ancestor or True Immortal seemed like a mere step, but in reality, the difference was vast, unimaginable. It was like an enormous chasm, insurmountable.
Now, Lin Fei's fusion with the Saber World was continuously enhancing it, merely narrowing the gap. The goal was to bring the Saber World as close to the level of True Immortal or Martial Ancestor as possible.
Nonetheless, transforming the Saber World to the level of True Immortal or Martial Ancestor was indeed very challenging. But as long as Lin Fei persisted, seizing enough world laws and constantly narrowing the gap, he would have a chance to elevate the Saber World to the level of True Immortal or Martial Ancestor.
After Lin Fei fused with the world laws, a glimmer of determination flickered in his eyes. His gaze then fixated on the Gaint Spirit True Realm before him.
"Eternal Realm!"
Lin Fei directly summoned the Eternal Realm, swiftly enveloping the Gaint Spirit True Realm within it.
At that moment, within the Gaint Spirit True Realm, countless beings looked up, their eyes filled with shock.
"What is that?"
"Why has the sky suddenly darkened?"
"It seems as if the Gaint Spirit True Realm is being blocked out!"
"That... that is another world!"
"Who is attacking?"
"Martial Ancestor Lin?"
Some of the True Monarchs of the Divine Realm seemed to have received some prior information.
Connecting the dots, they quickly deduced that Lin Fei had arrived.
Lin Fei had just seized the world laws of the Eternal Light Realm. Many hadn't expected Lin Fei to move so swiftly, without any rest, going straight from the Eternal Light Realm to the Gaint Spirit True Realm.
"Seize!"
Lin Fei, now adept at this process, quickly mobilized the power of the Eternal Realm. He directly stripped the world laws from the Gaint Spirit True Realm and integrated them into the Saber World.
This further enhanced the Saber World, bringing it a step closer to the level of True Immortal or Martial Ancestor.
As for the possible "collateral damage" to some beings in the Gaint Spirit True Realm, Lin Fei paid no mind. He had already minimized harm to the world's life forms. Otherwise, he could have easily obliterated the Gaint Spirit True Realm, resulting in countless deaths.
"Two True Monarch-level world laws are clearly far from enough. Continue."
Lin Fei paid no further attention to the Gaint Spirit True Realm. After merging its world laws, Lin Fei took a step forward, disappearing into the spatial passage once more.
When Lin Fei reappeared, he was in another vast and unfamiliar void. His gaze fell upon another True Monarch-level world ahead.
The Ancient God Realm! This was another renowned True Monarch-level world in the Divine Realm.
Just as Lin Fei was about to act against the Ancient God Realm...
"Swish."
In the next moment, a figure appeared before Lin Fei. It was an incarnation of a True Immortal!
"Martial Ancestor Lin, you have gone too far!"
The True Immortal, with an expression as cold as eternal ice, spoke sternly.
601. One Strike to Annihilate Thousands of True Immortal Avatars
Lin Fei gazed calmly at the True Immortal before him. He did not recognize this figure.
In fact, Lin Fei knew very few True Immortals. After all, he had only recently become a Martial Ancestor. How could he possibly know all the True Immortals?
"Which True Immortal are you, fellow daoist?" Lin Fei inquired.
"I am Azure Mountain True Immortal of the Azure Mountain Sect!"
"Azure Mountain True Immortal, you must have received the message from the Supremes? The Divine Realm is on the brink of destruction. We must all do everything possible to enhance our strength. I urgently need the world laws of True Monarch-level worlds. Thus, I am extracting some world laws. Although this will have some impact on True Monarch-level worlds, with time, they will recover. To increase my power, I must have the world laws of True Monarch-level worlds. Are you truly intent on stopping me, Azure Mountain Daoist?"
Lin Fei's gaze fixed on Azure Mountain True Immortal as he spoke calmly. He believed he had explained himself clearly. He needed to enhance his strength by merging world laws into the Saber World. He was only extracting some world laws from True Monarch-level worlds and would not destroy them. If someone still tried to stop him, Lin Fei would not be held accountable.
"I certainly will stop you. At least, you cannot touch the Ancient God Realm."
As soon as Azure Mountain True Immortal finished speaking, the void suddenly filled with countless avatars of Azure Mountain True Immortal.
Upon closer inspection, there were over ten thousand avatars. These were all True Immortal avatars!
Ten thousand avatars was an alarming number. Clearly, Azure Mountain True Immortal had come prepared. He had studied Lin Fei's previous confrontation with Taihao True Immortal. Thus, once he decided to stop Lin Fei, Azure Mountain True Immortal made thorough preparations.
Seeing the countless avatars of True Immortal, Lin Fei remained calm. His expression did not change.
"You cannot stop me. If you insist on obstructing me, then I will have no choice but to destroy these avatars, Azure Mountain Daoist."
Lin Fei spoke coldly.
The vast number of True Immortal avatars did not intimidate him in the slightest. In reality, it wasn't that Lin Fei specifically needed the world laws of the Ancient God Realm. It was because he couldn't retreat.
If he retreated, when he went to other True Monarch-level worlds, those True Immortals and Martial Ancestor would similarly appear to stop him.
Would Lin Fei have to battle a True Immortal or Martial Ancestor each time? How much time would that waste?
Now, Lin Fei noticed the void concealed many figures and gazes. They were all closely watching his confrontation with Azure Mountain True Immortal.
Lin Fei had no way out. If he retreated now, he would face the same problem when going to other True Monarch-level worlds, perhaps even worse.
Therefore, Lin Fei couldn't retreat. He needed to crush Azure Mountain True Immortal to deter other Martial Ancestor and True Immortal powerhouses. After all, they always had vested interests.
For example, behind the Ancient God Realm stood Azure Mountain True Immortal. Other worlds had other True Immortals or Martial Ancestors behind them. Only by demonstrating absolute overwhelming strength could Lin Fei ensure they wouldn't dare to stop him.
"They say Martial Ancestor Lin is extraordinary. Let me see for myself. Martial Ancestor Lin, what methods do you possess?"
In the next moment, with a thought, Azure Mountain True Immortal's ten thousand avatars formed a massive formation.
At the same time, this formation seemed to resonate with a certain Dao in the Divine Realm. Each avatar emitted a terrifying aura, their power soaring!
However, Lin Fei remained unmoved. He gazed at the ten thousand True Immortal avatars, a gleam of fierceness flashing in his eyes.
"Boom."
Lin Fei made his move. He transformed into the Eternal Realm.
Instantly, an unparalleled world appeared in the void. Simultaneously, the power of the Eternal Realm erupted.
The battle between Lin Fei and Unity True Immortal had only circulated within the Ancient Covenant. Many True Immortals and Martial Ancestors were unaware of the details. They only knew Lin Fei had seemingly defeated Taihao True Immortal but didn't know how.
Now, as Lin Fei unleashed the Eternal Realm, those in the Ancient God Realm and the surrounding True Immortals and Martial Ancestor observing in secret were all shaken to their core!
"This is... transforming into a world?"
Azure Mountain True Immortal was shocked. The moment Lin Fei's Eternal Realm appeared, he felt a terrifying suppression. Instantly, all his power erupted.
Yet, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm encompassed all ten thousand of Azure Mountain True Immortal's avatars.
"Destroy!"
Lin Fei's eyes were cold, and he uttered a soft command.
"Thud."
In the next instant, over ten thousand True Immortal avatars were pulverized into dust within the Eternal Realm following Lin Fei's soft command.
Silence!
A profound silence fell over the scene.
Everyone who witnessed this battle was in disbelief. In their minds, this should have been an earth-shattering confrontation.
Yet, in reality, as soon as Lin Fei acted, Azure Mountain True Immortal's ten thousand avatars were obliterated as if made of paper, vanishing instantly.
"Destroyed? Azure Mountain True Immortal's ten thousand avatars were all obliterated?"
"Azure Mountain True Immortal is a veteran True Immortal. How could his ten thousand avatars be annihilated so quickly?"
"But it's a fact. No matter how unbelievable, it remains true."
"Martial Ancestor Lin, having just become a Martial Ancestor, is already this strong?"
"It seems the rumors that Lin Fei defeated Taihao True Immortal are true."
Some of the True Immortals and Martial Ancestors observing from the shadows were rendered speechless by Lin Fei's display of power, leaving them profoundly shaken. They now had a renewed understanding of Lin Fei's strength. The rumors were not exaggerated—if anything, they understated his power!
Lin Fei's strength had already surpassed that of a typical Martial Ancestor. Generally, a Martial Ancestor might be stronger than a True Immortal, but not to this extent.
"Buzz."
Another figure appeared in the void—it was Azure Mountain True Immortal.
At this moment, his face was somber. This was a newly arrived avatar. He already knew what had transpired.
Over ten thousand of his True Immortal avatars were unable to withstand even a single strike from Lin Fei. This was nearly beyond belief for Azure Mountain True Immortal, but it was the undeniable truth.
"Martial Ancestor Lin, your ability to transform into a world and annihilate over ten thousand of my avatars in a single strike means I can no longer stop you. I hope Martial Ancestor Lin can show mercy to the Ancient God Realm. At the very least, don't let it collapse."
Although Azure Mountain True Immortal had been defeated and lost face, he still sent another avatar because the Ancient God Realm was vital to him.
There were people in the Ancient God Realm he needed to protect. Even now, after his defeat, he had to find a way to preserve the Ancient God Realm.
Lin Fei nodded, not refusing. After all, he only needed the world laws from the True Monarch-level world. Destroying an entire True Monarch-level world was not his intention.
"I only need the world laws!"
With that, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm expanded rapidly, engulfing the Ancient God Realm. The Eternal Realm then suppressed the Ancient God Realm, exerting full-scale pressure.
Using overwhelming force, Lin Fei forcibly extracted the world laws.
Holding the world laws in his hand, Lin Fei's Saber World descended instantly.
"Fuse!"
Lin Fei integrated the world laws into the Saber World. The Saber World expanded rapidly, swelling with newfound power. Yet, it still hadn't fully transformed.
However, it seemed closer to the True Immortal and Martial Ancestor levels, almost within reach. Lin Fei could feel this proximity.
"Still not enough."
Lin Fei frowned. He needed more world laws.
"Martial Ancestor Lin, do you need the world laws of True Monarch-level worlds? How many more do you need? Just now, a Supreme decreed that your requirements for world laws will be met as much as possible."
At this moment, an unfamiliar figure appeared in the void. It was another True Immortal, and his words left Lin Fei slightly surprised.
602. Saber World Transforms
"Who are you, fellow Daoist? And which Supreme issued this decree?"
Lin Fei asked cautiously. He did not recognize the True Immortal before him.
As for the Supremes, how many were there in the entire Divine Realm? Lin Fei knew fewer of them.
"I am Mystical Cloud True Immortal! Under the command of the Original Yang Supreme from the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain. We are to facilitate your needs for True Monarch-level world laws."
"Original Yang Supreme?"
Lin Fei's eyes narrowed slightly. He wasn't very familiar with the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain, having visited it only once or twice. He certainly did not know Original Yang Supreme.
However, this unfamiliar Supreme was offering him great convenience, even willing to meet his needs for True Monarch-level world laws.
Lin Fei considered this. If he continued going through each True Monarch-level world, it would take a lot of time. It was more efficient to obtain a large number of world laws directly from Mystical Cloud True Immortal.
Lin Fei estimated that for his Saber World to fully transform, he might need ten world laws from True Monarch-level worlds. Seven or eight might suffice, but ten would ensure no errors.
With this in mind, Lin Fei clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Mystical Cloud True Immortal, and thank you, Original Yang Supreme!"
Regardless of the reason Original Yang Supreme offered this convenience, Lin Fei would remember this favor, as it provided him with immense benefits.
"Ten world laws from True Monarch-level worlds? Though it's somewhat troublesome, the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain can provide them."
Mystical Cloud True Immortal waved his hand.
"Whoosh."
A series of world laws from True Monarch-level worlds fell into Lin Fei's hands. It seemed Mystical Cloud True Immortal was well-prepared, likely under Original Yang Supreme's arrangements.
"Martial Ancestor Lin, now that you have obtained ten world laws, you must not disturb the True Monarch-level worlds in our Yin-Yang Immortal Domain anymore."
Mystical Cloud True Immortal said to Lin Fei.
The Ancient God Realm was part of the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain. Otherwise, why would Mystical Cloud True Immortal appear and even attract Original Yang Supreme's attention?
"Naturally. Thank Original Yang Supreme for me."
With that, Lin Fei wasted no time, shattering the void and stepping into the spatial passage. In an instant, he vanished from sight.
The only ones left were the inhabitants of the Ancient God Realm and Azure Mountain True Immortal, each with complex expressions. Eventually, they all departed, for the situation was now clear.
Even Original Yang Supreme sought to ally with Lin Fei. What other choice did the remaining True Immortals and Martial Ancestors have?
...
In Ancient City, at Lin Fei's residence.
After traversing through the void, Lin Fei quickly returned to his abode, retreating into his secluded chamber.
"Ten world laws should be enough!"
In the chamber, Lin Fei took out the ten world laws. Given his current state, perhaps seven or eight world laws would have sufficed.
However, to ensure absolute certainty, the more world laws, the better.
Now, Lin Fei was ready.
"Let's begin, Saber World fusion!"
With Lin Fei's command.
"Boom."
The Saber World descended!
As soon as the Saber World appeared, it instantly absorbed one of the world laws.
Immediately, Lin Fei's Saber World expanded dramatically!
Lin Fei felt that his Saber World was very close to its transformation. But this was an illusion. It was like running toward a distant mountain; it appeared close but was actually far away.
Nevertheless, Lin Fei was not discouraged. He continued to fuse the world laws into the Saber World.
One, two, three, four, five...
Each world law was from a True Monarch-level world, providing a massive boost to Lin Fei's Saber World.
Especially when fused consecutively with five world laws, Lin Fei felt the transformation was imminent but still slightly out of reach. So, he continued the fusion.
Six, seven, eight, nine...
When Lin Fei fused the ninth world law, his Saber World finally began to change.
"Boom."
The ninth world law integrated into the Saber World.
At this moment, Lin Fei's Saber World vibrated violently. Suddenly, the Saber World erupted intensely within.
Lin Fei could sense that the Saber World was indeed transforming. Moreover, this transformation was fundamental and all-encompassing. But it differed significantly from the world Lin Fei had created.
The Saber World, although manifesting from the void to reality, was essentially an illusion. Even when materialized, it was not a true world. The Saber World was not inherently strong.
After all, a Martial King could evolve the Saber World. In other words, the Saber World was fundamentally at the Martial King level. Beyond the Martial King, there was no further method of cultivation for the Saber World.
Lin Fei's Saber World reached its current state through gradual and meticulous enhancement. Step by step, he elevated it. This allowed it to reach its present state, almost comparable to the True Immortal and Martial Ancestor levels. It was practically a miracle!
Of course, Lin Fei's method of enhancement was a special case. It could not be generalized.
In other words, even Lin Fei could not establish a method that would suit all cultivators evolving the Saber World. The Saber World itself was inherently imperfect.
Lin Fei was perfecting it step by step. Each step required his own exploration.
The Saber World was still undergoing transformation. Even Lin Fei did not know what it would ultimately become.
Lin Fei did not have a clear path of cultivation for the Saber World. The transformation of the Saber World was purely a result of accumulating power. It meant that Lin Fei kept increasing the power of the Saber World.
When the power reached a certain level, it naturally caused a qualitative change. With time, the changes in the Saber World became more significant. Eventually, the Saber World roared continuously, then gradually calmed down.
"Is the transformation complete?"
Lin Fei was curious about what the Saber World had become after the transformation.
It was undoubtedly different from his Eternal Realm. So, Lin Fei focused his mind.
"Saber World!"
Instantly, the Saber World descended, enveloping Lin Fei entirely. However, Lin Fei did not feel a particularly strong suppression.
"What is this? Hasn't it already transformed? After merging so many True Monarch-level world laws, the transformation should have reached the True Immortal or Martial Ancestor level. Why do I feel no suppression at all?"
Lin Fei frowned. The transformation of the Saber World was entirely different from what he had imagined.
"Eternal Realm!"
Lin Fei transformed into the Eternal Realm. He attempted to pit the Eternal Realm against the Saber World. Upon summoning the Eternal Realm, he found that the Saber World enveloped the Eternal Realm. Yet, it had no significant impact on the Eternal Realm.
"Break!"
Lin Fei unleashed the power of the Eternal Realm. Instantly, a violent force erupted, tearing through the Saber World.
"Torn apart?"
Lin Fei was even more astonished.
Was the Saber World so weak? Or had it not truly transformed? Was the transformation he sensed earlier just an illusion? Or perhaps the Saber World could not reach the True Immortal or Martial Ancestor level at all? Could its limit be the peak True Monarch level?
Many possibilities existed.
"Buzz."
Just as Lin Fei was contemplating in surprise, ready to retract the Saber World, the previously shattered Saber World instantly restored itself.
Moreover, it appeared undamaged.
"This Saber World, even the Eternal Realm couldn't break it. No, it's not that it couldn't break it, but rather the two powers are fundamentally different. The Eternal Realm cannot affect the Saber World. The Saber World is still an illusion!"
Lin Fei felt a sense of familiarity with the current Saber World. Then, a realization struck him. He immediately thought of a very familiar place.
The Great Dream City! Or rather, the current Saber World resembled a dream world!
