398. Vast Void Immortal Sect's Action

"Water is ice. Water elemental bloodline can also be the ice elemental bloodline. Ice often symbolizes freezing, destruction, and deathly stillness."

With a flicker of thought, Lin Fei discerned which bloodline he should cultivate next: the ice elemental bloodline. Currently, Lin Fei lacked a means to broadly control and constrain adversaries. The ice elemental bloodline, without a doubt, could offer such a capability. Once he managed to restrict an opponent, the full force of his Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline, the Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline, Triple Yin True Fire Bloodline, and more could envelop and assail them. Given the current potency of his bloodlines, few Martial Kings or Nascent Souls could withstand their assault.

Thus, the ice elemental bloodline was crucial for Lin Fei. He particularly valued its freezing capability. Hence, if he were to cultivate the ice elemental bloodline, it needed to possess a formidable freezing power.

Lin Fei promptly entered the Dubhe Dao Artifact to meticulously select. Within the artifact lay a myriad of bloodline techniques, including numerous ones related to the ice element. Even within the realm of ice bloodlines, many had distinct specialties. For instance, some excelled in freezing life forces, capable of killing Nascent Souls or Martial Kings. Yet, such bloodlines often had unsatisfactory freezing capabilities.

What Lin Fei sought was a constraint. Therefore, the freezing ability of his chosen bloodline had to be exceptionally potent. With this criterion in mind, he discovered the Annihilation Frost Bloodline. Once unleashed, it could freeze everything in its vicinity. Any force frozen by it would plunge into silence. Whether it be freezing Spiritual Qi, making the Spiritual Qi fall silent, or freezing a magical treasure, causing the treasure to become dormant, and even freezing array formations, forcing them into stillness. It was an incredibly fearsome bloodline.

Lin Fei had long understood that there were significant distinctions among Martial King bloodlines. Without a doubt, the Annihilation Frost Bloodline was among the most elite. Of course, this didn't mean the Annihilation Frost Bloodline was invincible.

Firstly, its offensive capabilities were relatively weak, making it challenging to slay adversaries. Moreover, it merely froze. If an opponent's power was formidable, for instance, if their Spiritual Qi was robust, they could resist the freezing. Hence, the Annihilation Frost Bloodline was never a standalone lineage but served as a supplementary one.

Yet, Lin Fei currently required such a supplementary bloodline. "You're the one, Annihilation Frost Bloodline!"

In the very next moment, Lin Fei manifested his True Martial King Form. Four peak bloodlines encircled him, their overwhelming might pressing down upon the Annihilation Frost Bloodline.

"Annihilation Frost Bloodline, come, become part of my lineage!"

"Whoosh."

The Annihilation Frost Bloodline, showing its own form of "intelligence," didn't futilely resist. It swiftly merged into Lin Fei's body. Instantly, memories surfaced in Lin Fei's mind, and concurrently, a new bloodline was birthed within him. It was the fifth bloodline, the Annihilation Frost Bloodline!

"Swish."

Lin Fei opened his eyes and once again entered the Dubhe Dao Artifact, this time the chamber of the Martial Sovereign level, to select a Divine Ability to integrate into the Annihilation Frost Bloodline.

The newly cultivated Annihilation Frost Bloodline was merely at its inception, with its cultivation progress being only 1%. This showed that the various accumulations of Lin Fei's previous cultivations weren't of much help to this bloodline.

Thus, mastering the Annihilation Frost Bloodline wasn't going to be easy. Lin Fei even thought that some ice elemental Divine Abilities probably wouldn't significantly enhance the Annihilation Frost Bloodline. It was not just about freezing; it carried the aspect of "annihilation" and the characteristic of "constraining" other forces.

Within the Dubhe Dao Artifact, there were many ice elemental Divine Abilities. Lin Fei counted roughly twenty. So, he integrated all of them into the Annihilation Frost Bloodline - a total of twenty-three ice elemental Divine Abilities. What was the result?

"System."

Lin Fei summoned the system panel to inspect his martial arts progress:

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Realm: Mid Martial King

Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline: Perfection

Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline: Perfection

Triple Yin True Fire Bloodline: Perfection

Supreme Yang Heavenly Thunder Bloodline: Perfection

Annihilation Frost Bloodline: Beginner (71%)

Saber World: Perfection

The cultivation progress of Lin Fei's Annihilation Frost Bloodline had only increased by about 70%. It was still in its beginner stage, not having broken through to mastery. This realization weighed heavily on Lin Fei's heart.

Previously, any bloodline, once integrated with twenty-three Divine Abilities, would surely advance from beginner to mastery. But now? Even after merging with twenty-three ice elemental Divine Abilities, the Annihilation Frost Bloodline remained at the beginner stage.

Lin Fei pondered deeply. "It seems the Annihilation Frost Bloodline is hard to cultivate. Even if it requires ice elemental Divine Abilities, it would probably need a vast number of them. At least a hundred, if not several hundred."

Lin Fei had never imagined that cultivating a bloodline would necessitate integrating such a vast number of Divine Abilities. Such a horrifying quantity of Divine Abilities surely wouldn't be found within the Dubhe Dao Artifact. Even martial families of the King's lineage, like the Xiao clan, couldn't possibly have this many ice elemental Divine Abilities. He would have to resort to trading in the Martial God Space.

With this in mind, Lin Fei left the chamber. With a thought, he ventured into the Martial God Space.

...

In the grand hall of the Vast Void Immortal Sect, the atmosphere was palpably tense. The four Nascent Soul Great Beings sat elevated upon the main throne, flanked by various Golden Core elders on either side of the spacious room.

"As for our journey to the Tuyuan Secret Realm," a voice echoed, "we were utterly defeated. Has every detail of the news been verified?"

From the elevated throne, the serene voice of the Vast Void Immortal Sect's master inquired.

"The news has been thoroughly verified, Master," a response came. "The Ancient Origin Saber King, Lin Fei, of the Ancient Origin Sect, outside the Vast Void Immortal Sect Realm, slew our Nascent Soul elders and every remaining Golden Core True Person."

"In addition," the voice continued, "inside the secret realm, our Golden Core True Persons fell at the hands of the Martial Sovereigns of the Ancient Origin Sect. Our total loss in the Tuyuan Realm is tied to the Ancient Origin Sect. Currently, the Ancient Origin Saber King has returned to their sect."

The Golden Core True Person fell silent after conveying the news. The great conflict between the Nascent Souls and the Martial King weighed heavily on the minds of those present. The next course of action was for the four great Nascent Souls to decide.

"The Nascent Soul elders of our Vast Void Immortal Sect cannot die in vain," declared the sect master with a firm voice. "Those who dare offend our sect shall be shown no mercy! I hereby decree, activate the great mountain protective formation, and guard the entrance! All four Nascent Soul cultivators of the Vast Void Immortal Sect shall set forth and eradicate the Ancient Origin Sect to assert our unyielding authority!" The sect master of the Vast Void Immortal Sect resolved.

"We obey the Sect Master's decree!" was the unanimous response.

In the next moment, the four great Nascent Souls rose swiftly. With a 'whoosh', they transformed into beams of radiant light, departing from the sect.

399. The Vast Void Immortal Sect's Four Great Nascent Souls Descend

In the realm of Martial God Space, Lin Fei entered the main hall. To his surprise, many were abuzz discussing a single matter.

"Have you heard? The Ancient Origin Saber King managed to cut down a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Vast Void Immortal Sect."

"It's absolutely true!" Another voice chimed in. "Right after the Tuyuan Secret Realm expedition concluded, there was a dispute between the two sides. The Ancient Origin Saber King took action and killed the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Vast Void Immortal Sect."

"The Vast Void Immortal Sect has always been domineering," another murmured, "Yet this time, they've met their match. Even their Nascent Soul cultivator was beheaded."

"It's uncertain if the Ancient Origin Sect is truly unyielding," another replied, "But given the Vast Void Immortal Sect's nature, the Ancient Origin Sect's days may be numbered."

"Indeed," a voice agreed, "The might of the Vast Void Immortal Sect is unparalleled. Once they mobilize, the Ancient Origin Sect will surely struggle."

"What's more, it's rumored that the Ancient Origin Sect only has one Martial King."

"I fear they'll find it difficult to withstand the Vast Void Immortal Sect this time."

The Martial God Space was a nexus for Martial Kings and Nascent Soul cultivators from various lands, ensuring that news traveled swiftly.

Lin Fei hadn't expected that word of his conquest against the Vast Void Immortal Sect's Nascent Soul cultivator would spread throughout the entire Martial God Space so quickly. Leaving behind a message regarding his need for an ice-attributed Divine Ability, Lin Fei swiftly departed the Martial God Space and retreated to his secret chamber.

As he pondered, Lin Fei uttered softly, "Vast Void Immortal Sect..." He was well aware of the sect and its top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, he gave little heed to the other Nascent Soul cultivators. With his newly acquired Annihilation Frost Bloodline – although in its infancy – its power was formidable. After all, it was a lineage of the highest caliber. Even at its beginning stages, its potential was horrifying. Coupled with his Saber World, Lin Fei felt he was on par with any Nascent Soul cultivator.

"If the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Vast Void Immortal Sect do not come, so be it," Lin Fei thought coldly. "But if they do... I shall cut them down. It's merely the destruction of another immortal sect." His eyes grew icy, for annihilating immortal sects was a deed he was all too familiar with.

Suddenly, from the outskirts of the Ancient Origin Sect, a voice thundered, "Ancient Origin Saber King, emerge and meet your end!"

"Already?" Lin Fei mused, somewhat taken aback. He hadn't anticipated the Vast Void Immortal Sect's arrival so soon. With a single stride, he emerged from his chamber.

Above the Ancient Origin Sect, four prominent Nascent Soul cultivators, led by the Taoist Lord of the Distant Cloud, surveyed the land below. Their spiritual senses easily ascertained the strength of the Ancient Origin Sect. It was just as they had expected – not a major force.

Before this, it had only been a power at the Martial Sovereign level. Largely relying on the Ancient Origin Saber King, Lin Fei, they had risen to the rank of a "Martial King Power". Among all in the Ancient Origin Sect, the only one they deemed worthy of attention was the Ancient Origin Saber King, Lin Fei.

"Sect Leader, based on our intelligence, this Lin Fei, known as the Ancient Origin Saber King, is not to be underestimated. We must tread carefully. It is whispered that Lin Fei, the Ancient Origin Saber King, is a Dao Seeker."

"Typically, those who seek the Dao attain the status of Golden Core or Martial Sovereign. And there are those exceptional few who ascend to the ranks of Nascent Soul or Martial King. Lin Fei is no exception. Shortly after achieving the rank of Martial King, he repelled the Taoist Lord Qianhe. He even slew Martial King Xiao Tianling thereafter. And, our Vast Void Immortal Sect's Nascent Soul cultivator met his demise at his hand."

Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's expression was grave, his voice deep and resonant, "The reputation carved out by this Ancient Origin Saber King is certainly not undeserved. He has even manifested the Saber World. Thus, if he seizes an opportunity, escape becomes a luxury. One is bound to face his blade! However, if one can shatter his Saber World, they can overpower him with an unbeatable might. And even the Saber King would surely meet his doom."

Such words came easily to the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord. To crush with unbeatable force, the concept was known to all. But who could truly overpower the Ancient Origin Saber King? That was the real conundrum.

Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's gaze remained unfazed, exuding tranquility. Even upon learning of the Vast Void Immortal Sect's Nascent Soul cultivator's defeat, he remained unruffled.

It seemed that nothing could unsettle him. All seemed to be within his control. While others may not possess the confidence to challenge the Ancient Origin Saber King, he did. He was a Nascent Soul cultivator of the highest caliber, and he was just one step away from Deity Transformation. He was certain that within a decade, he would attain the preliminary phase of Deity Transformation. Once there, he would push through, achieving full Deity Transformation, establishing himself as a dominant force with a lifespan of a hundred thousand years. A true immortal.

As for dealing with the Ancient Origin Sect or the Ancient Origin Saber King, they were but fleeting episodes in his long journey of cultivation. They could be dismissed with a wave of his hand.

"There's no need to wait. Obliterate the Ancient Origin Sect now," Distant Cloud Taoist Lord spoke with serene authority. The very next moment, he extended his hand. With a thunderous boom, his hand materialized a colossal palm in the void, formed entirely from the spiritual energy of the cosmos, casting a shadow so vast it blanketed the entire Ancient Origin Sect.

Instantly, a terrifying pressure descended upon the sect. Even the Martial Sovereign of the Ancient Origin Sect felt the weight of a mountain pressing down as if facing an impending apocalypse.

"What's happening?"

"It seems there are four Qi cultivators."

"This daunting pressure isn't from a Golden Core; it's from a Nascent Soul Great Being!"

"When did our Ancient Origin Sect offend such a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"Could it be someone from the Vast Void Immortal Sect?"

In that moment, those in the know, like Wind Sovereign, were overtaken by a wave of horror, their faces paling drastically.

Nascent Soul Great Beings!

Moreover, not one, but four Nascent Soul Great Beings stood in their midst. When had anyone within the Ancient Origin Sect ever witnessed the presence of four Nascent Soul Great Beings?

And their positions were no coincidence. They stood forming a formidable formation, harnessing the combined might of all four. How terrifying would that power be?

Even now, with just the techniques exhibited by the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord, none within the Ancient Origin Sect, save for Lin Fei, could withstand it. When that hand descends, the entirety of the Ancient Origin Sect will be reduced to ruins.

"This... this is the power of a Nascent Soul Great Being..." whispered the Sect Master of the Ancient Origin Sect. Such power, it almost instilled a sense of hopelessness. Even as a Martial Sovereign, even with his Divine Abilities, faced with this magnitude of power, his skills, his strength – they seemed utterly insignificant.

Witnessing Lin Fei slaying the Nascent Soul Great Being from the Vast Void Immortal Sect hadn't instilled such intense feelings. After all, they were mere spectators then. It didn't seem so dire.

But now, facing the wrath of a Nascent Soul Great Being firsthand, they truly understood the terror of such might. A power capable of annihilating heavens and earth, effortlessly "crushing" them. The vast Ancient Origin Sect seemed to be nothing more than a plaything in the face of such a Nascent Soul Great Being – easily wiped out with a flick of a hand.

However, suddenly, a brilliant saber light fiercely emanated from beneath the Ancient Origin Sect. Stretching for a thousand miles, the light surged upwards, clashing forcefully with the massive hand in the void.

Boom!

The intense collision reverberated through the void. The terrifying aftermath of the clash radiated in all directions. When the dust settled, a silhouette emerged from below the Ancient Origin Sect. It seemed as if he was ascending an invisible staircase in the void, step by step, walking confidently into the midst of the expanse.

The Martial King had made his entrance. The one who was the only Martial King of the Ancient Origin Sect. The Ancient Origin Saber King, Lin Fei, had finally appeared!

400. Bloodline Shows Its Power

Lin Fei took steps, slowly making his way into the void. He confronted the four Nascent Soul cultivators from a distance. At first glance, his eyes locked onto Distant Cloud Taoist Lord, presumably the leader among the four Nascent Souls.

It was the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord who had attacked earlier. Even though it was a casual move on his part, its power seemed to be nearing that of a Martial King's bloodline. This casual strike alone was proof of the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's immense strength, undoubtedly one of the top Nascent Souls within the Vast Void Immortal Sect.

"Ancient Origin Saber King, Lin Fei!" Distant Cloud Taoist Lord addressed him.

"You are the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord from the Vast Void Immortal Sect?" Lin Fei replied. With the threat posed to the Ancient Origin Sect by the Vast Void Immortal Sect, Lin Fei had of course taken note. His research had revealed that the Sect Master, Distant Cloud Taoist Lord, was the strongest and truly a top-tier Nascent Soul.

"Yes, and I believe you know the reason for my visit here," the Taoist Lord began. "I've heard of the Ancient Origin Saber King's Saber World. I would like to test and see if I can shatter this Saber World of yours." He spoke confidently.

Lin Fei glanced at the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord and the three Nascent Soul cultivators around him. They weren't just standing there for show. The three Nascent Soul Great Beings were in specific positions, evidently forming a formation.

Should they make a move, the combined power of the four Nascent Soul cultivators would be formidable. To defeat the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord, Lin Fei would first need to break their combined formation. And to do so was straightforward — by slaying just one of the Nascent Soul Great Beings, the formation would be shattered.

"Saber World!"

Without hesitation, Lin Fei immediately invoked his Saber World technique. As the Saber World descended, it isolated everything within. For a moment, the entire void transformed into its own realm.

"Ignite!"

Within the Saber World, flames erupted violently. While they appeared to be ordinary flames, they were actually filled with deadly intent. Hidden within them were Lin Fei's Triple Yin True Fire. These engulfing flames immediately enveloped the four Nascent Soul cultivators.

Ordinary flames wouldn't pose a threat to the likes of them. However, the Triple Yin True Fire was different. Once tainted by it, even a Nascent Soul Magic Avatar would be reduced to ashes.

"What an impressive Saber World!"

"Nascent Soul Magic Avatar!"

As Lin Fei invoked his Saber World, the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord manifested his Magic Avatar. At first glance, the Magic Avatar seemed ordinary, taking on the appearance of a giant.

However, as soon as the Magic Avatar appeared and threw a punch, the sound of space shattering echoed. But this wasn't ordinary space; it was the void within Lin Fei's Saber World.

Under the force of that single punch, everything broke apart. Concurrently, Lin Fei's Saber World experienced intense tremors, and cracks started to form as if it would collapse at any moment.

For the first time, Lin Fei's expression changed slightly. He realized that his Saber World couldn't withstand the onslaught of the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's Magic Avatar.

Ever since Lin Fei evolved his Saber World, he had relied on its power, becoming almost invincible. Only once, when faced with the explosion of the Heavenly Dragon Orb, had it been torn open, allowing the Taoist Lord Qianhe to escape.

Apart from that incident, Lin Fei's Saber World had always been powerful. Figures like Martial King Xiao Tianling and the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Vast Void Immortal Sect were trapped by Lin Fei's Saber World before being executed.

However, now, even after perfectly invoking his Saber World, it seemed on the verge of collapsing under a single blow from the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's Magic Avatar. Without his Saber World, Lin Fei would lose a significant portion of his combat strength. The might of a top-tier Nascent Soul was truly horrifying!

Nevertheless, Lin Fei's Triple Yin True Fire wasn't without effect. The engulfing flames suddenly surged, intensifying on the four Nascent Souls. When they tried to extinguish the Triple Yin True Fire with their spell, they found it impossible.

Importantly, everything the Triple Yin True Fire touched turned to ash, even at the particle level. The movements of the four Nascent Souls were momentarily hindered.

"Heavenly Saber, Strike!"

Simultaneously, Lin Fei slashed down with his saber. He didn't aim for Distant Cloud Taoist Lord but targeted one of them.

Lin Fei wasn't confident in defeating the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord in a single strike. However, he was certain he could kill one of the Nascent Soul cultivators. Therefore, while his Saber World was still held, Lin Fei concentrated all his power to eliminate at least one Nascent Soul cultivator.

This saber burst forth in an instant, moving at an unbelievable speed. However, the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord was quick to react. The fact that he couldn't shatter Lin Fei's Saber World with a single strike left him mildly surprised, but not majorly taken aback. What truly caught him off guard was Lin Fei's determined attempt to kill one of them.

Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's Nascent Soul Magic Avatar tried to intervene, but before it could act, the void around it started to crystallize into icy shards, revealing the power of Lin Fei's Annihilation Frost Bloodline. This was the first time Lin Fei had ever used it. The four Nascent Soul cultivators were instantly frozen in place, unable to move or use their spiritual powers.

At this moment, Lin Fei's saber descended.

With a loud "bang", Lin Fei's saber struck down, shattering the icy figure of the Nascent Soul cultivator. A gust of chilling wind blew, turning the shattered figure into ashes. Dead.

Such a prestigious Nascent Soul Great Being had perished just like that.

"Die!" Seeing this, the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's anger reached its peak. His Magic Avatar, frozen only for a split second, broke free from the ice. With immense force, he directed a punch at Lin Fei. The void shattered, and the Saber World along with it. The sheer power of the punch seemed to have the capability to annihilate everything.

Suddenly, a massive bolt of lightning struck, targeting Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's Nascent Soul Magic Avatar. The attack halted the Magic Avatar momentarily. Taking this opportunity, Lin Fei turned into a gust of wind and disappeared, simultaneously withdrawing his Saber World.

"Boom!" Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's punch missed its target, hitting only empty space. The Vast Void Immortal Sect had lost another of its Nascent Soul Great Beings. The first clash ended with Lin Fei's clear victory.

"What a formidable Ancient Origin Saber King!" Distant Cloud Taoist Lord exclaimed, a mix of shock and rage evident in his voice. From the original five Nascent Souls, two had now fallen at Lin Fei's hands. This fueled Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's murderous intent even more.

"Immortal Binding Tower, suppress!" Distant Cloud Taoist Lord rarely used his magical treasures, considering his Nascent Soul Magic Avatar was powerfully unmatched. But now, just the Magic Avatar seemed insufficient against Lin Fei. He summoned the Nascent Soul magic treasure, Immortal Binding Tower, known for its powerful suppressive capabilities.

"Nascent Soul Magic Avatar." The remaining two Nascent Soul Great Beings, filled with dread, also summoned their Nascent Soul Magic Avatars. They were deeply shocked. Killing a Nascent Soul Great Being wasn't a simple task, yet Lin Fei had done it with seeming ease.

Before they could fully comprehend the situation, the three Nascent Soul Magic Avatars, accompanied by the colossal Immortal Binding Tower, launched an attack on Lin Fei.

401. Lin Fei Furious Slash Nascent Soul Magic Avatar

Boom!

The Immortal Binding Tower descended. Even with Lin Fei's Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline, enabling him to drift with the wind, he wasn't exempt from the tower's snare.

The Immortal Binding Tower, as its name suggests, wasn't easy to escape from. The moment it appeared, it already had the surrounding void ensnared within its cloak.

As the tower activated, the void itself was suppressed. Lin Fei's attempts to drift were met with staggering resistance. Even a minor delay and the tower would land upon him. And then, the tower descended.

Lin Fei, in a show of defiance, thrust his hand upwards, using nothing but the sheer power of his physical body to strike the descending tower.

Thud.

Unexpectedly, the Immortal Binding Tower shuddered violently, unable to complete its descent. For a moment, the three Nascent Souls present widened their eyes in disbelief, as if questioning the reality before them.

"How can this be?"

"While the Martial King's physical form is strong, it shouldn't be this formidable!"

"The Martial King's main strength lies in his bloodline. If the bloodline power is not fully effective, how potent can his physical body be?"

"Is this physical strength truly that of a Martial King?"

Lin Fei's punch astounded everyone present. Even he had not fully realized the magnitude of his own strength. Lin knew his body was formidable, honed and refined time after time. Having surpassed numerous martial saints and Martial Sovereigns in the past, once he ascended to the rank of Martial King, he seldom relied purely on his physical prowess. Yet with every bloodline addition, he felt a distinct change, a series of metamorphoses.

To what extent his raw physical strength had grown, even Lin Fei did not have a clear grasp. Until now. Perhaps even he was not fully aware of the terror of his own body. His physique carried the bloodline of the Azure Flood Dragon King, a top-tier king-level exotic beast, a creature with the blood of true dragons coursing through its veins.

Perhaps the Azure Flood Dragon King's bloodline did not manifest its effects overtly but worked subtly, continuously strengthening Lin Fei's body. Coupled with Lin Fei's inherently formidable physique, a combination of factors resulted in Lin Fei's physical form being on par with king-tier exotic beasts.

To understand this significance, king-tier exotic beasts were entities capable of clashing head-on with Nascent Soul Magic Avatars and Martial King bloodlines.

At this moment, with a physique rivaling a king-tier exotic beast, it implied that Lin Fei, with just the power of his body, could counter the forces of the Nascent Soul Magic Avatar and Martial King levels.

That's why Lin Fei repelled the Immortal Binding Tower with just a single punch. And then, with two more punches, he repelled two Nascent Soul Magic Avatars.

Lin Fei's eyes shimmered with brilliance. At this moment, he seemed to truly "understand". It turned out that ever since he became the Martial King, his body had been undergoing transformation every single moment.

This transformation was subtle and imperceptible, and it could last a very long time. Even now, the transformation of Lin Fei's physical body has not ended. It might continue for an extended period.

With such a prolonged bodily transformation, Lin Fei's physique is bound to become more and more formidable.

Lin Fei had never realized this before. Just his physique alone could probably rival two bloodlines or even more!

At this moment, Lin Fei stood in the void. Even if he did not use the Saber World, the aura emanating from Lin Fei was not to be underestimated. It might even be more potent if Lin Fei had fully unleashed the power of his body.

"Heavenly Saber, Slash!"

Lin Fei's eyes were icy cold. He charged toward a Nascent Soul Magic Avatar.

With a swing of his saber, both the Nascent Soul Magic Avatar and the Nascent Soul cultivator beside it rapidly froze into ice crystals. This was the power of the Annihilation Frost Bloodline!

Instantly, both the Nascent Soul Magic Avatar and the Nascent Soul cultivator were frozen solid. Even if it was just for an instant, it was enough!

"Crack!"

Lin Fei's saber slashed down, and the Nascent Soul Magic Avatar instantly shattered. And a cold wind followed. The Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline!

With a gust of this cold wind, the shattered ice crystals instantly turned into ashes. The Nascent Soul Magic Avatar was obliterated. Moreover, Lin Fei's saber was already aiming for the Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Boom!"

However, the Immortal Binding Tower appeared in time, blocking Lin Fei's saber. But Lin Fei did not force the issue. He swiftly retreated.

"Supreme Yang Heavenly Thunder Bloodline!"

"Boom!"

Massive thunders flickered, instantly forming a beam of light. Descending from the sky, it fiercely targeted the body of the Nascent Soul cultivator.

This time, the Immortal Binding Tower could no longer defend in time. The massive heavenly thunder fiercely landed on the body of the Nascent Soul.

This was the heavenly thunder from Lin Fei's perfected bloodline. Its power, containing the force of destruction, could obliterate everything.

As a result, when the thunder struck, it heavily bombarded the body of the Nascent Soul cultivator.

This time, there was no Magic Avatar to take the hit. It directly impacted the Nascent Soul cultivator.

Suddenly, the Nascent Soul cultivator let out a tragic scream. This bolt of heavenly thunder had the power to annihilate the Nascent Soul at a particle level. Thus, just a single bolt nearly obliterated almost a quarter of the Nascent Soul cultivator's particles.

However, it wasn't just a single bolt of thunder. It was two, three, or even countless thunders, all crashing down. Just like raindrops, the entire void turned into a sea of thunder.

"Boom!"

At last, the second Nascent Soul cultivator was pulverized by the thunder.

Dead!

The second Nascent Soul cultivator had perished. Previously, four formidable Nascent Souls had joined forces. With overwhelming momentum, they seemed set to obliterate the entire Ancient Origin Sect. Yet, now, only two of these Nascent Soul cultivators remained.

In a fleeting moment, Lin Fei had slain two of them.

"Damn it, how did this happen?"

Distant Cloud Taoist Lord, a pinnacle Nascent Soul Great Being, exclaimed. Even with his presence, two of the Nascent Soul cultivators had fallen. More vexing was the fact that he found himself powerless against Lin Fei, unable to find a way to counter him.

"Nascent Soul Magic Avatar! Immortal Binding Tower! Die!"

Distant Cloud Taoist Lord was consumed by fury. He summoned his Nascent Soul Magic Avatar, With the Immortal Binding Tower accompanying, both attacked Lin Fei with unparalleled force. But Lin Fei's gaze remained icy.

"Heavenly Saber, strike!"

With a single swing, his saber unleashed.

Flames roared around the blade. Those were the Triple Yin True Flames! Moreover, a gust of wind rose in the void, the Grand Yin Wind.

The wind fueled the flames, making the Triple Yin True Fire even more ferocious.

Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline, Triple Yin True Fire Bloodline, and Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline, all three bloodlines were unleashed.

With Lin Fei's True Form exerting its physical strength, this single strike was the epitome of Lin Fei's power.

As their forces clashed, Lin Fei also released the Annihilation Frost Bloodline.

In just an instant, Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's Nascent Soul Magic Avatar, and even the Immortal Binding Tower, were frozen in place. Once frozen by the Annihilation Frost Bloodline, it instantaneously suppresses Spiritual Qi and other forms of strength.

Although, given the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's prowess, this suppression might only last an instant. After all, Lin Fei's Annihilation Frost Bloodline was merely in its nascent stage, its power still relatively weak.

Yet, that fleeting moment was ample for Lin Fei. His saber, in that split second, struck both the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's Nascent Soul Magic Avatar and the Immortal Binding Tower.

A thunderous boom resounded. Three terrifying forces collided fiercely.

Yet, under the chilling frost, Lin Fei's saber held the absolute upper hand. Thus, with that single slash, the Immortal Binding Tower instantly cracked. Crack after crack appeared, the Immortal Binding Tower, a majestic Nascent Soul-level magical treasure, shattered at that moment. Following that, Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's Nascent Soul Magic Avatar met the same fate.

Once one had a pinnacle Nascent Soul Magic Avatar like his, Distant Cloud Taoist Lord had been undefeated. But now, Lin Fei's saber descended, and the formidable Nascent Soul Magic Avatar, accompanied by shards of ice, instantly shattered. It turned into a blanket of ice crystals on the ground and struck by the heavenly lightning accompanying Lin Fei's saber, it was reduced to ashes in an instant.

402. The Four Nascent Soul Cultivators Are Destroyed!

The Nascent Soul Magic Avatar of Distant Cloud Taoist Lord was destroyed and completely turned into ash. This development shocked both him and the remaining Nascent Soul cultivator. The Distant Cloud Taoist Lord, a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator, was regarded as invincible. Who could possibly destroy it?

"How could this be?" exclaimed one of the disciples. "Master, your Magic Avatar is destroyed!"

Distant Cloud Taoist Lord, realizing the gravity of the situation, quickly ordered, "Leave!" He led the remaining Nascent Soul cultivator and they immediately employed escape techniques to flee. Without the protection of his Nascent Soul Magic Avatar, how could he confront Lin Fei? Staying would only lead to certain death.

Both Nascent Soul cultivators initiated their escape techniques, but Lin Fei sneered, "Think you can escape?"

Previously, without the aid of the Saber World, Lin Fei would find it challenging to catch up with the fleeing Nascent Soul cultivators.

But now, things had changed. Evoking the "Grand Yin Wind," a gust swiftly rose. Lin Fei's True Form merged into this wind, becoming one with it. Given that wind permeated everywhere, especially in the void, this technique was akin to, if not more powerful than, traditional wind escape techniques.

Lin Fei's speed was no less impressive than the Nascent Soul cultivators. As he neared them, he unleashed the power of his Annihilation Frost Bloodline, instantly freezing a large portion of the void around them. This freezing effect also halted the escape techniques of the two Nascent Soul cultivators, rendering them immobile.

Instead of wielding his heavenly saber, Lin Fei chose to project a myriad of saber lights. The sky was filled with these saber rays, and within each ray lurked the Triple Yin True Fire.

As these rays descended upon the Nascent Soul cultivators, they not only faced the sharpness of the saber lights but also the burning pain from the Triple Yin True Fire. Without the protection of their Nascent Soul Magic Avatars or with weaker versions of it, how could they resist?

Furthermore, at this moment, they were still immobilized by Lin Fei's ice.

"Ancient Origin Saber King, do you intend to wipe us out completely?" Distant Cloud Taoist Lord roared in anger.

Lin Fei merely cast an indifferent glance at the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord. With the entirety of the Vast Void Immortal Sect having already been mobilized against him, how could he possibly show mercy now?

"Ahh..."

Countless saber lights descended upon both the Nascent Soul Magic Avatar and the Nascent Soul of Distant Cloud Taoist Lord. Although the other Nascent Soul cultivator had a Magic Avatar, it was just an ordinary one. It couldn't fend off the overwhelming saber lights and the Triple Yin True Fire.

As for Distant Cloud Taoist Lord, even though he was a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator, having lost his Nascent Soul Magic Avatar, he could only rely on some minor spells. These defenses were practically negligible against Lin Fei's onslaught, especially since Lin Fei prioritized targeting him.

"Heavenly Thunder!"

Suddenly, the void was filled with descending bolts of lightning. Though not particularly massive, the bolts were numerous and dense, striking down like a vast net.

"Ahh..."

The Nascent Soul cultivator's Magic Avatar couldn't withstand it any longer and disintegrated immediately. Amidst the Triple Yin True Fire, the heavenly thunder, and the saber lights, he was turned to ashes.

Dead!

The third Nascent Soul had fallen. In a moment, of the four Nascent Souls from the Vast Void Immortal Sect, only Distant Cloud Taoist Lord remained. And even he was now on the brink of annihilation.

"Ancient Origin Saber King, I won't let you have your way!" he shouted with hatred in his eyes, and commanded, "Explode!"

Without hesitation, Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's Nascent Soul detonated.

The explosion was earth-shattering, forcing even Lin Fei to retreat immediately. The void shattered, and in the aftermath of the Nascent Soul's self-destruction, everything within several miles was reduced to dust.

Distant Cloud Taoist Lord was no more.

The Nascent Soul Magic Avatar differs from the True Martial King Form. While a Nascent Soul Magic Avatar can be undying, capable of reforming after numerous deaths, the Nascent Soul itself is the very essence. Once the Nascent Soul is damaged, it signifies true death. Such self-destruction meant that there was no way for the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord to survive.

However, Lin Fei wasn't about to let things end there. Even though the four major Nascent Soul cultivators were dead, there was still the Vast Void Immortal Sect to deal with. He wouldn't spare them.

With no time to waste, Lin Fei merged into the wind, moving swiftly toward the Vast Void Immortal Sect, leaving behind a message for the Ancient Origin Sect leader: "I'm off to exterminate the Vast Void Immortal Sect, eliminating future threats."

And then, Lin Fei vanished without a trace.

In the Ancient Origin Sect, the Sect Master, Wind Sovereign, and the others exchanged glances, their hearts filled with astonishment. They had just witnessed a true battle. The four Nascent Soul cultivators had united against Lin Fei, yet they had all perished. The Nascent Soul-level forces of the Vast Void Immortal Sect were almost completely annihilated.

"Elder Lin is... truly incredible!"

"Yes, Distant Cloud Taoist Lord was a top-tier Nascent Soul Great Being who rarely met a match."

"And yet Elder Lin defeated all four Nascent Souls on his own, even forcing Distant Cloud Taoist Lord to self-destruct."

"Should we now consider Elder Lin the top Martial King?"

"To call him the number one Martial King might be an exaggeration, but he's certainly among the best."

"This victory needs to be proclaimed far and wide!"

"Yes, after this, our Ancient Origin Sect will be famous throughout the realms!"

The spirits of everyone in the Ancient Origin Sect were lifted. With this victory, their sect was poised to become one of the top Martial King sects, even surpassing the Vast Void Immortal Sect in reputation.

Meanwhile, at the Vast Void Immortal Sect, an inconspicuous gray light, which seemed to be a bead, silently entered, emitting no aura. The bead found its way into a secret chamber, and out from it emerged an apparition – it was Distant Cloud Taoist Lord! He was alive! But he appeared frail, seemingly on the verge of dispersion with the slightest gust of wind.

"Thankfully, I had once stumbled upon a mysterious technique called the 'Divided Spirit Method'. I managed to split a part of my true spirit, cultivating a second Nascent Soul. Originally, it was meant for my attempt to break through to the Deity Transformation stage. But now, I've had to use it to save my life," he thought.

His secondary Nascent Soul was unstable and couldn't exist independently. Now, he needed a new host. He began recalling the best disciples within the Vast Void Immortal Sect. He was making a choice, deciding which disciple to take over.

"It'll be you," he decided, focusing on the number one disciple of the Vast Void Immortal Sect, Ethereal True Person. Despite her being a female, the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord decided to choose her due to her exceptional talents. If he wanted to regain his former power or even surpass it, he would need to take over Ethereal True Person's body.
