Chapter 363-366 (Patreon)

363. True Form of the Martial King

"Martial King!" Lin Fei murmured in a low voice, finally attaining the status of Martial King. The transition from Martial Sovereign to Martial King was arguably the hardest step in Lin Fei's long journey of martial arts cultivation. He practiced various Divine Abilities, merging them one after another, step by step, until he reached this day.

Once one attains the status of Martial King, they gain a lifespan of ten thousand years. On this path of cultivation, Lin Fei could finally relax a bit. A lifespan of ten thousand years was incredibly long.

Moreover, at this moment, Lin Fei's Martial King bloodline could also be passed down to his descendants. But of course, this was provided he had descendants.

However, Lin Fei's bloodline was no ordinary one. Even if Lin Fei wanted to have children in the future, his partner wouldn't just be any regular person with a weak physique. At the very least, she would need to be a Martial Sovereign, if not a Martial King.

If two Martial Kings were to unite, their offspring might even naturally inherit both bloodlines. The probability of awakening such powerful bloodlines would then significantly increase, offering their descendants more opportunities to "choose". Of course, talk of descendants was still a distant matter for now.

Having achieved the status of Martial King in the Ancient Continent, Lin Fei was now considered a dominant power. He could establish a Martial King dynasty or even create a sect rivaling those of the Nascent Soul tradition.

Every time a Martial King emerges in the Ancient Continent, it is deemed an earth-shattering event. Usually, when a Martial King is born, celestial phenomena would manifest. However, since Lin Fei was inside the Dubhe Dao Artifact when he achieved this status, the outside world was unaware of this change.

"It's time to leave," Lin Fei thought, and in one step, he exited the Dubhe Dao Artifact.

"Swoosh."

Lin Fei reappeared in front of the Azure Flood Dragon King, who was suffering every moment, feeling as if every day was a year. Now, with hope in sight, it felt even more torturous. Suddenly, upon seeing Lin Fei, the Azure Flood Dragon King widened its eyes in disbelief.

"Master of Dubhe, have you... have you cultivated the Martial King bloodline and attained the title of Martial King?" The Azure Flood Dragon King seemed like it couldn't trust its own eyes, even though it had been hoping for Lin Fei's success.

"Indeed, thanks to half of your bloodline, I have achieved my desire and cultivated the Martial King bloodline, attaining the title of Martial King," Lin Fei nodded, confirming the truth.

"Boom!"

The Azure Flood Dragon King's body struggled intensely. The grand array in which it was imprisoned trembled violently. Chains tightened even more around the Azure Flood Dragon King.

"It really worked? Hahaha, does this mean I have hope of being freed?" The Azure Flood Dragon King felt a surge of elation. It had been waiting for this day for an incredibly long time. It had started to believe that it might never be freed in its lifetime. Who would have thought Lin Fei could attain the title of Martial King? And with the integration of its bloodline at that? Now, there was hope of its release!

"Master of Dubhe, quickly break the array and let me out!" The Azure Flood Dragon King said, its impatience palpable.

Lin Fei observed the chains surrounding the Azure Flood Dragon King. He then threw a punch directly at them. It was a casual punch, but its power was far more terrifying than when Lin Fei previously unleashed his six Divine Abilities combined. Such was the might of the Martial King. Every action was as potent as a full release of all his Divine Abilities.

Moreover, this punch didn't just incorporate six top-tier Divine Abilities. It had also merged with the bloodline of the Azure Flood Dragon King. Essentially, the punch was equivalent to the force of eleven top-tier Great Divine Abilities. Its terror was unmatched. Even without invoking the power of his bloodline, Lin Fei's punch was far more powerful than those of average Martial Kings.

His rise to Martial King was exceptional, equivalent to achieving the status with the might of eleven top-tier Divine Abilities, whereas even the most potent Martial Kings generally have nine Divine Abilities. And Lin Fei's were all of the highest tier. So, even a casual punch from him was stronger than the full-force punches of some Martial Kings.

"Boom!"

The punch finally hit the chains. They vibrated madly. Even the Azure Flood Dragon King shuddered, its face showing signs of pain. But after all the shaking, the chains didn't break and eventually returned to their original state.

"They didn't break?" Lin Fei's eyes sparkled with a hint of surprise.

From hope to despair, the Azure Flood Dragon King sighed, "Qing Yuzi is a demi-Deity Transformation cultivator. The formation he set up is exceptional, especially since he adjusted it before leaving. A typical Martial King's power cannot breach this grand formation."

Lin Fei didn't attempt again. If one punch couldn't break the formation, then even a hundred punches would likely yield the same result. The formation constantly regenerated and could recover endlessly. To break the formation, one would need to shatter it with a single, overwhelming strike!

Yet, that was merely a casual strike from Lin Fei. Being a Martial King, Lin Fei well understood the pinnacle of a Martial King's strength. It was their bloodline!

The ultimate strength of a Martial King lay in the Martial King's bloodline. Once this bloodline was activated, the True Form of the Martial King would be revealed. This was the fundamental reason for the Martial Kings to possess such earth-shattering powers.

With the emergence of a True Martial King Form, the heavens quaked and the earth rumbled.

A low hum resonated.

The next moment, a massive phantom emerged behind Lin Fei. Martial King Phantom! To some extent, this phantom was a projection of the True Martial King Form.

Lin Fei closed his eyes, feeling the Martial King Bloodline coursing within him. The bloodline had already seeped into his very particles. Thus, upon activation of the Martial King bloodline, he would unleash the power at a particle level.

There was no real need for Lin Fei to sense this bloodline, for it already resided within him, omnipresent, seamlessly merged with his physical form.

With a deafening roar, Lin Fei activated his Martial King bloodline. Instantly, an overwhelming aura surged towards the heavens. His body began to expand uncontrollably.

Although the underground space was vast, its height was but a mere thousand meters. Consequently, Lin Fei's body swelled to a towering thousand meters, morphing him into a colossal giant.

Lurking on the giant's back and shoulders, one could faintly discern a Flood Dragon, bearing some resemblance to the Azure Flood Dragon King. This implied that Lin Fei's bloodline contained the essence of the Azure Flood Dragon King.

Beyond that, an ethereal saber manifested in Lin Fei's grasp. Neither gold nor jade, this saber was formed from Lin Fei's very bloodline. Within it, one could vaguely sense countless saber techniques, all that Lin Fei had ever practiced, including the Dual-World Saber Divine Ability, seemingly constituting this single saber. It signified that Lin Fei's bloodline had integrated the way of the saber.

Lin Fei's muscles bulged impressively, his skin adorned with intricate and mysterious glyphs, each symbolizing a unique power. These countless symbols collectively represented the True Martial King Form.

Upon achieving the status of Martial King and cultivating the Martial King bloodline, every power Lin Fei had ever mastered merged into his bloodline. If he were to manifest his true form by activating this bloodline, each of these powers would distinctly manifest upon it, like the Flood Dragon on his shoulder or the saber in his hand.

At this moment, Lin Fei felt an unparalleled, world-shaking power. The True Form was the Martial King's ultimate weapon.

Witnessing Lin Fei's True Martial King Form, the Azure Flood Dragon King trembled uncontrollably, completely overawed by Lin Fei. This was an intimidation rooted in bloodlines. No matter how powerful the dragon was, it was suppressed by Lin Fei's bloodline.

Yet, a hint of excitement shimmered within the Azure Flood Dragon King. Lin Fei's true power was beyond imagination, incomparable to any regular Martial King. After all, Lin Fei's bloodline was a culmination of eleven top-tier Great Divine Abilities, surpassing any other Martial King.

"Strike!"

The next moment, Lin Fei's true form, gripping the divine saber, fiercely slashed at the countless chains binding the Azure Flood Dragon King. This strike was earth-shattering, tearing the very fabric of the void. As the saber descended, the chains radiated a blinding light, seemingly sensing the impending doom, as the formation began to operate at its pinnacle.

364. Azure Flood Dragon King Breaks Free

"Strike!"

As Lin Fei, in his Martial King form, brandished his saber, it seemed as if he sought to cleave the very void itself. Beneath that singular strike, even the tallest mountains and vastest seas would likely have succumbed to Lin Fei's blade. Even the mighty Azure Flood Dragon King, for reasons it couldn't fathom, felt an inexplicable tremor in its heart. It seemed that with this one saber, it too could be cleaved in twain!

It was a peak king-level exotic beast! Even though it had shared half its bloodline and no longer held its peak status, when compared to Lin Fei, who had just become a Martial King, it should have been incomparably stronger.

Yet, that saber sent shivers through its core. There could only be one explanation — the depths of Lin Fei's prowess were unfathomable. Even with merely six top-tier Great Divine Abilities and having fused with the Azure Flood Dragon King's bloodline to attain the Martial King status, he was still leagues above those who achieved Martial King with nine Great Divine Abilities. The comparison wasn't even close. It couldn't simply regard Lin Fei as an ordinary Martial King.

With a resounding "snap," Lin Fei's saber descended, and the chains surrounding the Azure Flood Dragon King astonishingly shattered, meeting no resistance whatsoever.

"Broken?"

The Azure Flood Dragon King found it almost inconceivable. Were the chains so easily broken? These were the very chains that had confined it for twenty millennia!

With a thunderous roar, the Azure Flood Dragon King's massive form soared into the sky. If the formation's strongest aspect was these chains, and they were now severed by Lin Fei, what other mechanism could possibly restrain the Azure Flood Dragon King?

"Ha-ha-ha, I am finally free! Twenty thousand years, a full twenty millennia! Damn you, Qing Yuzi, for trapping me for over twenty millennia!"

The aura of the Azure Flood Dragon King surged tremendously, its colossal form causing the subterranean hall to tremble as if on the verge of collapse.

"Azure Flood Dragon King, that will be enough!"

A gleam flashed in Lin Fei's eyes. The next moment, his own aura soared, especially potent because of his Martial King bloodline. When he exerted the pressure of his Martial King bloodline onto the Azure Flood Dragon King, there was a palpable thud.

The Azure Flood Dragon King felt as if it were pinned beneath an ancient, heavy mountain, unable to wriggle free. Its vast form plummeted from the sky, crashing into the ground and creating a massive crater. Overwhelmed and wary, it rolled over, raising its head. With its immense body prostrated on the ground, it respectfully addressed Lin Fei, "I acknowledge you as my master."

"Master?"

Lin Fei fixed his gaze on the Azure Flood Dragon King. Previously, the flood dragon had addressed him as the "Master of Dubhe." Now, it called him "Master." Naturally, the implications of these titles were not the same.

"Yes, Master. Your Divine Abilities have merged with half of my bloodline, thus producing the new Martial King bloodline. The source of the blood coursing through you is equivalent to the origin of my own blood. For all eternity, I am bound to serve you. Even the entirety of my Azure Flood Dragon clan, for generations to come, will serve you unwaveringly!"

The Azure Flood Dragon King spoke with utmost reverence. It had prepared itself for this. Having contributed half of its bloodline, it had long come to the realization that its fate was now intertwined with Lin Fei's.

While it could choose to leave, the ocean's vast expanses held their own dangers. Should it return now, not only might its clan be endangered, but its own life would likely be at risk.

Having weakened considerably, it was well aware of the law of the jungle prevalent among sea beasts - the weak were preyed upon. It had once subjected other exotic beasts to this very rule.

Therefore, it deemed it wiser to align itself with Lin Fei. After all, Lin Fei possessed the Dubhe Dao Artifact and cultivated the pinnacle of six Great Divine Abilities. Such prowess was not to be underestimated.

Perhaps one day, Lin Fei could ascend to the status of a Martial God, a being on par with a Deity Transformation, possessing an immeasurable life span and abilities capable of dominating worlds. By then, the Azure Flood Dragon clan might transform its misfortune into a blessing.

Lin Fei scrutinized the Azure Flood Dragon King, intuitively grasping its intentions. This beast, despite its ordeal of over twenty millennia, seemed to have gained wisdom and clarity about the broader situation.

Rather than struggling in the vast ocean with the dim hope of ascending to dragonhood, it would be better to align with Lin Fei. Perhaps one day, the Azure Flood Dragon King could truly metamorphose into a dragon, soaring the skies.

"Very well, from now on, you shall remain by my side."

Lin Fei did not decline. He accepted the allegiance of the Azure Flood Dragon King. After all, it was a king-level exotic beast. Being of the water element, the Azure Flood Dragon would prove invaluable in oceanic realms.

Lin Fei wouldn't reject a king-level exotic beast of Martial King equivalence. Especially as he planned to return to the Ancient Origin Sect. What would become of Great Chang in his absence? And the Nine Profound Sect?

At present, Great Chang lacked even a Martial Saint, let alone a Martial Sovereign. The only Martial Saint, Shen Lianxin, would be accompanying Lin Fei back to the Ancient Origin Sect. Great Chang would undeniably require a formidable guardian in their absence.

The Azure Flood Dragon King seemed apt for this role. A king-level exotic beast, comparable in power to a Nascent Soul cultivator. With its protection, no individual or faction would dare covet Great Chang again. Lin Fei could depart with his mind at ease.

"Azure Flood Dragon King, can you reduce your size?" Lin Fei inquired.

Given the current colossal size of the Azure Flood Dragon King, parading it through the Nine Profound Sect would be too conspicuous and shocking.

"Of course I can," it replied.

The Azure Flood Dragon King rapidly shrank down until it was no larger than a gecko. It then leaped onto Lin Fei's shoulder.

"That's better. Let's go," Lin Fei said.

With the Azure Flood Dragon King on his shoulder, Lin Fei departed Qing Yuzi's underground chamber, taking with him a considerable amount of jade liquid. Now, without the Azure Flood Dragon King, the grand array set by Qing Yuzi would gradually lose its effect. The array wouldn't drain the Spiritual Qi of the entire Great Chang anymore, allowing its energy to slowly rejuvenate. However, this process would take time.

Soon, Lin Fei returned to the Nine Profound Sect. After making some inquiries and learning that no significant events had transpired, he retreated to his private chamber. He advised the Azure Flood Dragon King to roam around the vicinity of the Nine Profound Sect, keeping its true identity concealed and avoiding causing any significant disturbances.

As for Lin Fei, he secluded himself in his chamber. He had recently advanced to the Martial King realm, but he still had much to learn and understand about this new level. Once settled, Lin Fei summoned his system panel to check his current status:

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Arts Realm: Early Martial King

Saber Domain: Perfection (Progress 0%)

The system had become quite succinct. The Divine Abilities from before had vanished, not truly gone but integrated into his Martial King bloodline. Every action Lin Fei took now was infused with the power of these Divine Abilities.

However, a problem arose. While he had achieved the Martial King realm, it was not the pinnacle of martial arts. Beyond Martial King was the realm of Martial God. How should one train as a Martial King? How to progress further? The system didn't provide guidance on this.

Had it been earlier, Lin Fei would have been puzzled and might have even sought the Xiao family for insights, given the Ancient Origin Sect had never witnessed the rise of a Martial King. But now, with the Dubhe Dao Artifact in his possession, Lin Fei felt no concerns regarding his cultivation.

With a swift motion, Lin Fei entered the realm within the Dubhe Dao Artifact.

365. Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline

Within the Dubhe Dao Artifact, Lin Fei immediately entered the realm of the Martial King. Here lay countless techniques and skills of the Martial King level, collected by the True Immortal Dubhe.

Yet, Lin Fei didn't rush to study these techniques. First, he needed to understand, what exactly was a Martial King? Such knowledge can be found in the books here.

Quickly, Lin Fei located a particular tome, its title grand and authoritative. It didn't merely discuss the differences between a Martial King and the Nascent Soul stage. Instead, it delved deep into the philosophy of martial arts and the path of immortals.

Immortal cultivators, while they harnessed the essence of the heavens and earth and the brilliance of the sun and moon to refine themselves, essentially focused on comprehending nature, the universe, and the Dao. Their ultimate goal was to merge their understanding, their very beings, with the cosmos, thus gaining control over it. A single individual's power was insignificant. Even after reaching the Nascent Soul or Deity Transformation stage, the universe and the Dao were still supreme.

Martial arts, however, took a different approach. They emphasized the return of great power to oneself. Martial artists sought to seize external forces to supplement themselves. For instance, they would absorb external strength to continually enhance their physical bodies. If one's potential was fully tapped, no worries, they would use external resources to strengthen themselves, always aiming for greater power. Perhaps the universe is vast, but when a martial artist reaches a certain pinnacle of strength, even the heavens, earth, and moon could be subsumed into oneself, becoming "nourishment" for one's own growth. This is the essence of martial arts!

Though both paths seemingly lead to the same destination, the only distinction between the Dao of Immortals and Martial Arts might be the pursuit of eternal life - a quest for longevity, freedom, and true liberation. However, in terms of cultivation philosophy, they are diametrically opposed.

Having grasped the philosophy of martial arts, Lin Fei could now delve into the cultivation methods of the Martial King. After all, the foundation of the Martial King was the cultivation of bloodlines.

Indeed, once one achieves the status of Martial King, they must cultivate their bloodline. The first bloodline must be perfected before one can move on to the next. This bloodline cultivation could either be based on personal insights or external resources. A bloodline could even be "plundered" from exotic beasts or even from other Martial Kings.

However, such methods come with their downsides, even defects. The seized bloodlines carry their own wills. If not adequately suppressed, these conflicting bloodlines might cause chaos within, leading to the disintegration and eventual demise of the Martial King's bloodline.

Of course, plundering the bloodline of another Martial King is taboo. Such actions would be branded as dark or demonic arts, and those who dared to tread this path would be condemned and pursued by all!

Once the nine bloodlines reached perfection, unified as one, they could transcend the Martial King, and rise to become the God of Martial Arts.

Though many claimed martial arts bridged to the divine, only those with the nine conjoined bloodlines were truly deemed Gods of Martial Arts, Equivalent, it was, to the Immortal Dao's Deity Transformation.

Lin Fei had discerned the principles behind the Martial King's cultivation, and its diverse realms.

"What about the Martial Domain? What's the next threshold within it?"

Lin Fei contemplated the Martial Domain. Now, his Saber Domain had attained perfection. Yet, it had reached an impasse. Moreover, Lin Fei was already a Martial King. Unleashing the Martial King's bloodline, his Saber Domain could effortlessly be torn asunder, seeming to have lost its prior significance.

Lin Fei poured over countless arcane scriptures and indeed discovered details on the Martial Domain. Beyond the domain was the World!

But this world differed from the conventional sense, such as the Saber World, and the Sword World. Evoking the Saber World, it represented a universe of the saber.

Within this Saber World, one could cultivate normally. Moreover, all who practiced saber techniques and pursued the Saber Dao, found their cultivation within Saber World doubly effective. Comprehending the Saber Intent, Saber Momentum, the Saber Domain, and more, all hastened.

Moreover, the Saber World could be detached, existing in splendid isolation, comparable to a mystical territory. Of course, the Saber World was combat-ready, rivaling the prowess of a Martial King. And the might of a Saber World was not inferior to those Martial Kings with one or even two bloodlines. This was just a common Saber World. A mightier Saber World could easily vanquish average Martial Kings.

However, these texts also highlighted a pivotal point. Without the bloodline of the Saber Dao, evolving was an impossibility. In fact, the Saber Dao's bloodline often had to be perfected, for the Saber Domain to potentially evolve into the Saber World.

"The bloodline of the Saber Dao..." Lin Fei whispered under his breath.

The Saber World was the zenith of the Saber Dao. If one could craft an entire world, was that not the apex?

Concerning the God of Martial Arts, it represented a transcendent echelon. To which, the Saber World was rendered obsolete. The realm of Martial God was a life tier beyond Lin Fei's comprehension.

Martial King and Martial God, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation, symbolized a profound metamorphosis. This leap was even grander than the jump from Innate to Martial Saint. Although the Saber World was the endpoint of the Saber Dao, at the level of the Martial King, the Saber World evidently held immense value, especially in combative prowess. A Martial King possessing the Saber World was akin to gaining an additional bloodline or even several. Naturally, their combat strength surged linearly.

Lin Fei was somewhat anxious. "What should I cultivate for my first bloodline?" Now, he had an idea in his heart. "It's naturally the Saber Dao bloodline!"

The Dao of the saber is also a bloodline. Similarly, the Dao of the sword is a bloodline. Some Martial Kings inherit the saber Dao bloodline and the sword Dao bloodline. Their descendants have an amazing talent in the way of the saber and sword.

However, cultivating saber Dao isn't as simple as just mentioning it. It requires practicing specific techniques. Although Lin Fei already has a bloodline, it's too mixed and difficult to cultivate to perfection.

The bloodline has to be pure. All nine bloodlines of a Martial King must be absolutely pure. Only when they are pure can they hope to be cultivated to the utmost. The mixed nature of the bloodline that allowed Lin Fei to become a Martial King must be refined through techniques. It needs to be made pure over time.

So, Lin Fei began searching for saber Dao techniques. Inside the Dubhe Dao Artifact, various techniques can be found. The vast collection of True Immortal Dubhe had a plethora of techniques, naturally including saber Dao.

However, there are differences in saber Dao techniques. Different techniques result in different bloodlines. Even within the saber Dao bloodline, there are differences in strength.

Lin Fei skimmed through various saber Dao techniques. Most saber Dao techniques are quite balanced. However, there are also some very extreme saber Dao techniques.

For instance, Lin Fei came across a technique named Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline. Upon practicing this technique, one could cultivate the Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline. This bloodline has no defense, and no other advantages but focuses purely on the attack aspect of saber Dao. It's the pinnacle of offense. Its attacking power is said to be terrifying, an overwhelming direct attack.

"Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline? It dares to proclaim itself as supreme, it must be extraordinary. However, the entry requirements for this technique are very strict. One must have talent in saber Dao, even reaching a very high level."

Lin Fei had an idea. Isn't his Dao of the saber quite strong? Moreover, his bloodline was integrated with saber Dao. Like the Dual-World SaberDivine Ability. That's Saber Dao!

Furthermore, Lin Fei has achieved the perfect Saber Domain. His accomplishments in Saber Dao surely meet the requirements for the Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline.

"Decided!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Fei chose this technique. If he's to cultivate the saber Dao bloodline, he naturally should aim for the strongest one. This Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline technique is ambitious and demanding. Most importantly, it's collected by True Immortal Dubhe. Anything that catches the eye of Dubhe True Immortal must be extraordinary.

Lin Fei took a deep breath and said to the technique, "I have achieved the perfect Saber Domain, my saber Dao isn't weak, and in the future, I can even evolve my Saber Domain into a Saber World. Would you assist me in achieving the Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline?"

"Buzz."

After Lin Fei finished speaking, he instantly deployed his Saber Domain, encompassing the Saber Dao technique.

366. Progresses Rapidly

Lin Fei knew that every technique had its own unique character. The stronger the technique, the more distinctive it would be. To persuade these techniques to join him, there was only one way: to subdue them or let them recognize his potential. Therefore, Lin Fei immediately demonstrated his Saber Domain, enveloping the technique with it.

A perfect Saber Domain was rare. Lin Fei believed that even if this saber bloodline technique was proud, it would realize that finding another with Lin Fei's level of saber talent would be almost impossible. Hence, Lin Fei was confident.

"Supreme Saber Dao requests to become your martial art."

As expected, a voice echoed in Lin Fei's mind.

"Agreed." Lin Fei, of course, accepted.

In the next moment, there was a rumble in Lin Fei's mind. His Martial King bloodline seemed to start refining. All the saber techniques, including the "Dual-World Saber" Divine Ability that Lin Fei had practiced before, emerged in his mind.

The system's voice rang out.

"Your Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline has refined your Martial King bloodline. Due to your bloodline containing saber Dao Divine Abilities and countless saber techniques, the progress of the Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline has increased by 100%. Your Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline has broken through to Mastery."

Lin Fei was taken aback. He had only just begun practicing the Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline, and now it had already achieved mastery? He quickly accessed the system to verify.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Arts Realm: Early Martial King

Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline: Mastery (Progress 6%)

Saber Domain: Perfection (Progress 40%)

Indeed, his status now included the Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline. Within him was a bloodline that was distinct from before, a purely saber-oriented bloodline. His previous bloodline was still present, but it had fused with his physical being, making it his foundation and impossible to cultivate further. The only way forward was to extract and cultivate more pure bloodlines from it.

Moreover, Lin Fei noticed that his Saber Domain's cultivation progress had increased by a whopping 40%. Given that his Saber Domain was already at perfection, a further 40% improvement indicated that he might soon evolve it into a Saber World!

Naturally, this wasn't an unexpected boon. In order for the Saber Domain to evolve into the Saber World, one must cultivate the Saber bloodline. The two complemented each other perfectly. Lin Fei's cultivation of the saber bloodline was a win-win.

Feeling the saber bloodline within, Lin Fei realized that once he fully unleashed this bloodline, his saber attacks would reach an incredibly fearsome level. Yet, the Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline was merely at the mastery level. This wasn't enough. He needed to cultivate it to perfection before cultivating a second bloodline.

"To elevate the saber bloodline, besides comprehension, one could forcibly seize another saber bloodline," he thought. "However, such bloodlines are rare. Moreover, if one isn't careful in suppressing the will of the acquired bloodline, a bloodline conflict could arise, leading to death."

Lin Fei pondered for a moment. Unless there was no other way, he wouldn't choose the path of seizing another saber bloodline. All he could do now was to rely on his own comprehension to enhance the saber bloodline.

"Wait, there are Divine Abilities within the saber bloodline. Could integrating other saber Divine Abilities boost the Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline?"

An idea struck him. However, he needed to test it out.

Lin Fei entered the Dubhe Dao Artifact's Martial Sovereign level space. There were numerous martial arts Divine Abilities.

Lin Fei sought out the saber Divine Ability manuals. As he channeled his thoughts, he activated his internal saber bloodline. Instantly, it surged within him, expanding his body rapidly. An intense aura emanated from him as if he'd turned into an unparalleled treasure saber.

At that moment, Lin Fei's True Martial King Form was that of a saber—a saber that could cut through the heavens. This was the Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline!

Facing the saber Divine Abilities below, Lin Fei declared, "I have cultivated the saber bloodline. Saber Divine Abilities willing to fuse with my bloodline for eternity, in a perfected state, come forth!"

For these saber Divine Abilities, Lin Fei's Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline was incredibly enticing. Using his perfected Saber Domain, the saber's Divine Abilities on the shelves became restless. They began to surge towards him, answering his call.

One by one, the saber Divine Abilities transformed into phantoms, merging directly into Lin Fei's body and combining with his Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline. These Divine Abilities were exceptional since they were collected by the True Immortal Dubhe. Each one had its unique characteristics. They ranged from Great Divine Abilities to even top-tier Great Divine Abilities. Lesser Divine Abilities were notably absent; perhaps, to the True Immortal Dubhe, they were not worth collecting. As these saber Divine Abilities integrated, each one enhanced the cultivation progress of Lin Fei's Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline.

However, the extent of the progress varied. Some Divine Abilities significantly advanced the cultivation, while others added just a bit. This discrepancy was due to the compatibility with Lin Fei's saber bloodline. His Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline was the epitome of sheer offensive power and dominance. Some Divine Abilities, even if top-tier but more holistic in nature rather than purely offensive, contributed minimally to his bloodline's progress. In contrast, even ordinary Great Divine Abilities, if purely offensive, would considerably boost Lin Fei's Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline.

In essence, the Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline was selective, integrating only the most synergistic Divine Abilities while filtering out the rest. As more and more saber Divine Abilities were assimilated, the number of Divine Abilities within Lin Fei's bloodline increased proportionally.

Should Lin Fei have descendants in the future, those inheriting his Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline would likely manifest a variety of saber Divine Abilities due to the sheer volume integrated. Depending on the Divine Abilities they awaken, their powers might differ, underscoring the potency of Lin Fei's lineage. After all, how many bloodlines could incorporate such an array of Divine Abilities?

"Your Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline has reached 100% in cultivation progress, breaking through to Transcendence!”

Finally, Lin Fei's inner Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline had advanced once again, reaching the realm of transcendence. However, after reaching transcendence, he fused with a few more saber Divine Abilities and then stopped. He had exhausted all the saber Divine Abilities at hand. While Dubhe, the true immortal, had gathered many saber Divine Abilities, all of which were of Great Divine Ability level or above, they were still finite in number.

Who could have thought that someone could use saber Divine Abilities to forcibly upgrade their saber bloodline? It was a challenging endeavor and often thankless. Becoming a Martial King allowed one to continue cultivating Divine Abilities, but to integrate them into the bloodline and elevate it, the Divine Abilities had to be perfected.

The immense effort required to cultivate a Divine Ability to perfection and then merge it could only slightly enhance the cultivation progress of the bloodline. For a Martial King, this was hardly worthwhile.

But Lin Fei was an exception. He could let those saber Divine Abilities integrate into his bloodline at the "Perfection realm" without any effort or time spent on cultivation.

Lin Fei glanced at his system panel again.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Realm: Early Martial King

Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline: Transcendence (Progress: 21%)

Saber Domain: Perfection (Progress: 80%)

With the Saber Domain's cultivation progress at 80%, when the Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline reached perfection, the Saber Domain would also evolve into the Saber World.

"Out of saber Divine Abilities…" Lin Fei murmured to himself, an idea forming in his mind. He needed to return to the Ancient Continent. Only there could he continuously acquire Saber Divine Abilities, allowing him to perfect his Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline and potentially evolve the Saber World. The Great Chang was not a place for long-term cultivation. To reach higher realms, he needed to return to the Ancient Continent, the center for all cultivators.

With this decision made, Lin Fei rose, leaving the secret chamber and heading towards the main hall of the Nine Profound Sect.
