424. The Descent upon Three Immortals City

The Three Immortals Sect, though named "Three Immortals," truly refers to three Nascent Soul cultivators.

The ultimate goal of the Immortal Dao was ascension. Only through ascension could one achieve eternal vision, truly basking in boundless freedom and serenity.

However, the Three Immortals of the Three Immortals Sect were not truly immortals. They were three Nascent Soul cultivators. Their origins were shrouded in mystery. Yet, united, they founded the Three Immortals Sect. Though it boasted a mere few millennia of history,

With the support of the Three Immortals, each an apex Nascent Soul Ascendant, The Three Immortals Sect became renowned.

Expanding ceaselessly, the Three Immortals Sect encountered no adversity. Even the Vast Void Immortal Sect paled in comparison before them.

After all, the might of three apex Nascent Soul Ascendants was profoundly intimidating. Thus, the present-day Three Immortals Sect had grown colossal. Many of its disciples became arrogant and domineering, wielding unrestrained power across the ancient continent. This led to a decline in the Sect's reputation.

Yet, the Three Immortals seemed indifferent to fame. For the Three Immortals themselves bore tarnished names. Even a paragon of virtue like Taoist Lord Tai Su had his Nascent Soul magical artifact "borrowed" by force by the Three Immortals. One could imagine their customary dominance.

With a swish, Lin Fei arrived outside the Three Immortals City. The Three Immortals Sect was not perched upon a mountain peak. Instead, they established the Three Immortals City, which was quite "down-to-earth."

However, at a glance, Lin Fei discerned chaos. All sorts of characters, imposters among genuine ones, a mixture of dragons and snakes, lurked within the confines of the Three Immortals City.

The Three Immortals Sect turned a blind eye. To be precise, the Three Immortals ignored it all. They seemed solely focused on their cultivation.

In fact, they had no specific plans for the Three Immortals Sect. They used the Sect merely as a tool to amass various treasures, aiding their cultivation. Their ambition lay in achieving Deity Transformation.

From this perspective, the Three Immortals indeed had great ambitions. Many Nascent Soul cultivators, in reality, upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage, no longer harbored the ambition to advance further.

Everyone knew achieving Deity Transformation was arduous. How could one easily aspire to Deity Transformation? Better to live freely for ten thousand years.

Yet, while the Three Immortals were indeed domineering, They possessed a fervent spirit, aiming for Deity Transformation.

Lin Fei noticed that outside the Three Immortals City, many cultivators ceased flying. Instead, they walked into the city. Evidently, this was the rule of Three Immortals City. No flying was permitted above the city. No one dared defy the city's regulations.

However, Lin Fei wasn't in the Three Immortals City to seek opportunities or join the Three Immortals Sect. He was there to "retrieve" an item.

And so, Lin Fei stood, hands behind his back, Step by step, he slowly approached the Three Immortals City. He didn't walk on the ground, but through the void, right above the Three Immortals City.

For a moment, many took notice of Lin Fei, hovering above the city.

"Heh, some fool dares to breach the customs, flying brazenly over the expanse of the Three Immortals City?"

"That man is doomed! The laws of the Three Immortals City are stringent. Those who dare to soar its skies are sentenced to death on sight!"

"Indeed, whence does this audacious one hail? Is he not aware that even a Nascent Soul Great Being would be executed for flying over this city?"

"Perhaps he's journeyed from distant lands, utterly ignorant of the city's ordinances."

Throughout the Three Immortals City, murmurs and discussions arose. Yet, none stepped forth to caution him. Instead, they watched with anticipatory glee.

"How dare you! Those who trespass the Three Immortals City shall meet an unforgiving end!"

At that moment, a contingent of Golden Core True Persons swiftly emerged from the heart of the city. They were the enforcers of the Three Immortals Sect.

Lin Fei's eyes turned icy.

"Boom."

A radiant white aura erupted from Lin Fei in an instant.

The Saber World!

Lin Fei summoned the Saber World without hesitation. The moment it manifested, it enveloped the entirety of the Three Immortals City.

Within the Saber World, Lin Fei reigned as the omnipotent sovereign! Hence, those Golden Core True Persons, barely airborne, found themselves paralyzed in mid-flight as if ensnared by unseen chains.

Within the city were seasoned cultivators with vast experience. The encompassing white radiance hinted at isolation from the outer realm.

They quickly pieced together the puzzle.

"It's the Saber World!"

"Such a formidable Saber World; could it be the perfect Saber World?"

"Within the Saber World, a mere whim of its master would spell our doom."

"Is this not some rule-breaking cultivator, but a peerless Martial King?"

"Is he challenging the Three Immortals Sect?"

For a moment, many turned ashen-faced, gripped by panic. Yet, within the Saber World, they dared not twitch. They wouldn't even consider attacking the Saber World, fearful of misunderstanding by its lord. A mere thought and their lives would be extinguished.

"Hmm? Who dares to stir trouble in the Three Immortals City?"

Then, three figures ascended from a secret chamber within the city, hovering in the void. The Three Immortals of the Three Immortals Sect, all were top-tier Nascent Soul Great Beings!

At that moment, they confronted Lin Fei from a distance.

"Saber World? Of late, in the Ancient Continent, a formidable Martial King has risen. Commander of the Saber World, slayer of the Peacock King, annihilator of the Vast Void Immortal Sect, and joined forces with the Phoenix Spirit King. You must be the renowned Ancient Origin Saber King, Lin Fei?"

One of the top-tier Nascent Soul Great Beings slowly intoned.

"It is I, Lin Fei."

He neither evaded nor hid. By now, his reputation had grown vast, echoing across the entire Ancient Continent. That the Three Immortals recognized him was no great matter.

"Lin, my daoist fellow," one of them began, his voice glacial, "You come to the Three Immortals City, immediately unleashing the Saber World. What business do you have here, coming with such an overwhelming presence?"

Lin Fei responded evenly, "Simple. I am here on someone's behalf to retrieve the Vajra Chain. It's been quite a while since you've borrowed the Vajra Chain from Taoist Lord Tai Su. Isn't it time you return it?"

The mention of the "Vajra Chain" caused a subtle shift in the expressions of the Three Immortals. They remembered it well. They had forcefully "borrowed" it from Taoist Lord Tai Su and had no intentions of ever giving it back.

While Taoist Lord Tai Su had many allies, who would dare risk offending the Three Immortals? After all, these beings were among the pinnacle of Nascent Soul Great Beings. However, they hadn't expected that Taoist Lord Tai Su would engage the services of the Ancient Origin Saber King, Lin Fei.

Lin Fei had vanquished the Peacock King, eradicated the Vast Void Immortal Sect, and more crucially, his strength rivaled that of top-tier Martial Kings. Furthermore, Lin Fei's partner, Feng Ling, was also a Martial King of the same caliber. Essentially, they represented the combined force of two top-tier Martial Kings.

Even if the Three Immortals combined their powers, it remained uncertain whether they could suppress both Lin Fei and the Phoenix Spirit King.

The countenance of the Three Immortals darkened. One of them, his voice deep and resonant, remarked, "Lin Fei, it's true that we borrowed the Vajra Chain from Taoist Lord Tai Su. But how does this concern you? Do you truly wish to interfere in this matter?"

Instead of giving in, the Three Immortals turned the tables and began to question Lin Fei's intentions.

Lin Fei, unwavering, responded, "I currently hold the title of Honorary Elder at the Tai Su Treasure Pavilion. Their matters are mine. This affair? I'll handle it."

His gaze steady, Lin Fei stared directly at the Three Immortals, exuding an aura of unyielding authority. Both parties were forceful in their own right. For a moment, none spoke, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

425. Bursting the Three Immortals' Magic Avatar

"Three Immortals Magic Avatar!"

In an instant, the Three Immortals took action simultaneously. An endless surge of Spiritual Qi converged, giving birth to three Nascent Soul Magic Avatars.

Moreover, these bodies immediately took their positions, forming an arcane array. This formation subtly funneled the power of the three Nascent Soul Magic Avatars into a single entity. And these weren't just any magic bodies; they were the pinnacle of Nascent Soul Magic Avatars.

The ability of the Three Immortals to dominate and traverse without challenge was largely due to their Magic Avatars. Even a top-tier Martial King or a Nascent Soul Great Being would usually face defeat when confronting them. They would flee in disarray or risk being annihilated by the Three Immortals' Magic Avatars.

With a swift slash, Lin Fei's Saber World crumbled under the might of the Three Immortals' Magic Avatars. Their power was earth-shattering. The trio, seemingly overbearing, truly had the strength to back up their audacity.

Even if Taoist Lord Tai Su combined the power of the nine Nascent Soul cultivators, they might not be a match for Lin Fei. Lin Fei's six bloodlines, even if fully unleashed, probably wouldn't compare to the might of the Three Immortals' Magic Avatars.

Yet, Lin Fei was not afraid. He wasn't interested in a prolonged battle of attrition with the Three Immortals. He wanted to dominate them completely and crush them utterly.

"Earth Pulse Divine Mountain Spirit Communication Bloodline!"

"Triple Yin True Fire Bloodline!"

"Annihilation Frost Bloodline!"

"Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline!"

Suddenly, four bloodlines manifested around Lin Fei. With a thunderous roar, Lin Fei unleashed his True Martial King Form, fully activating all four bloodlines. Representing the elemental forces of earth, fire, water, and wind, they were the bloodlines of the Four Symbols. At this moment, these bloodlines erupted in power, gradually merging within Lin Fei's True Martial King Form. His already massive True Martial King Form expanded further, swelling dramatically to a colossal size of one hundred thousand meters.

Previously, Lin Fei's True Martial King Form was roughly the same size as the Three Immortals' Magic Avatars, perhaps slightly smaller. However, as his form expanded to one hundred thousand meters, filled with the overwhelming power of the Four Symbols, it became truly awe-inspiring.

This towering True Martial King Form of Lin Fei looked down condescendingly at the Three Immortals' Magic Avatars. And then, with a deafening crash, the scene shifted.

The fist of the Three Immortals' Magic Avatar slammed into Lin Fei's True Martial King Form. Following the strike, Lin Fei's form quaked continually. But after the trembling subsided, calm returned. Lin Fei remained unharmed.

It must be understood that this was the Magic Avatar of the Three Immortals, merging the power of their three Nascent Soul powers. What top-tier Martial King or Nascent Soul could possibly withstand a blow from the Three Immortals' Magic Avatar? And yet, Lin Fei emerged completely unscathed.

"It's impossible! How can your True Martial King Form be this powerful? Is this still even a True Martial King Form?"

Shock coursed through the Three Immortals. However, before they could recover from their astonishment, Lin Fei's hundred-thousand meters True Martial King Form launched a massive palm strike.

"Boom!"

In this palm strike, Lin Fei utilized the power of the Four Symbols. It wasn't just pure strength; it contained the might of the four bloodlines. The force of the Four Symbols, combined with the raw power, landed instantly on the three Nascent Soul Magic Avatars.

"Splatter."

In an instant, more than half of the Three Immortals' Magic Avatars were obliterated. Lin Fei's single strike decimated almost seventy to eighty percent of their Nascent Soul Magic Avatars. It was absolute annihilation, obliteration down to the particle level. Another strike and the Magic Avatars of the Three Immortals would be destroyed.

But how was this possible? They were top-tier Nascent Soul Great Beings. Even if these were Magic Avatars, they were top-tier Nascent Soul Magic Avatars. How could they not withstand even a single strike from Lin Fei? At most, two strikes and their Magic Avatars would collapse. This far exceeded their expectations.

However, as shocked as the Three Immortals were, Lin Fei was even more stunned. In the past, facing the Three Immortals, Lin Fei would deploy every skill at his disposal: the Saber World, the bloodlines, and more. And it would take a considerable amount of time and energy, with no guaranteed victory. After all, the Three Immortals were not weaklings.

But now, having unleashed the four bloodlines of earth, fire, water, and wind, Lin Fei witnessed a new power born from their fusion: the Power of the Four Symbols.

Under the force of the Four Symbols, the Magic Avatars of the Three Immortals were as fragile as paper, easily torn by Lin Fei. With this power, Lin Fei could shatter the Three Immortals' Magic Avatars with just two strikes. The might of the Four Symbols surpassed even Lin Fei's expectations. He even wondered whether this power still belonged to the Martial King realm.

Of course, this was a benefit! Now, with his own strength, Lin Fei could overpower the Three Immortals. And so, he launched another palm strike. With this strike, the Magic Avatars of the Three Immortals would surely crumble.

Clearly aware of their peril, the Three Immortals recognized that once their Nascent Soul Magic Avatars collapsed, none of their other magical techniques would be able to withstand Lin Fei's might.

"Vajra Chain!"

In the next moment, the Three Immortals conjured the Vajra Chain.

"Buzz."

The Vajra Chain was a series of circular, ring-shaped magic treasures. At this moment, these ring-shaped treasures started to interconnect, hinting at a deeper unity.

"Bang!"

Lin Fei's palm came down, striking the Vajra Chain.

With Lin Fei's current strength, especially the Power of the Four Symbols, it was nearly invincible. No force at the Nascent Soul level could withstand Lin Fei's Power of the Four Symbols.

Yet, the Vajra Chain held firm. Even though Lin Fei's strike pushed the Vajra Chain to its limits, it didn't break. It truly held its own.

"Hmm?"

Lin Fei was slightly taken aback. He took a closer look at the Vajra Chain and realized it was composed of nine magic treasures, each a Nascent Soul magic treasure.

Lin Fei's strike hit one of them, but the force was dispersed among the remaining eight. The strength of his palm was absorbed and distributed amongst the nine magic treasures, which is why the Vajra Chain could withstand it.

"What a good treasure!" Lin Fei acknowledged the exceptional quality of the Vajra Chain.

No wonder Taoist Lord Tai Su was so obsessed with it, wanting to "take it back". Such a clever design and exceptional magic treasure was indeed extraordinary. Even if it was a magic treasure of the Nascent Soul level, in some respects, it was close to a god-tier level.

The Three Immortals possessed such a powerful treasure, how could they be willing to part with it? However, Lin Fei still intended to reclaim the Vajra Chain.

"Do you think only you possess magic treasures? Don't I have one too?"

Lin Fei's voice echoed in the void. Everyone was amazed. After all, Lin Fei was merely a Martial King. Could a Martial King also possess a magic treasure?

Next, Lin Fei reached out his hand, and in his palm appeared a seal – the Heavenly Pillar Seal, enveloped in a dim glow.

"Go."

Lin Fei casually threw the Heavenly Pillar Seal into the air.

"Boom."

The Heavenly Pillar Seal grew rapidly upon contact with the wind. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a mountain range spanning hundreds of miles. The sky darkened instantly under its shadow. An oppressive aura enveloped the entire Three Immortals City.

"What kind of magic treasure is this?"

"Could it be another treasure crafted by Taoist Lord Tai Su?"

"Damn, the oppressive force of this magic treasure is terrifying!"

Fear gripped the Three Immortals. They felt a looming sense of death with the appearance of the Heavenly Pillar Seal. It seemed that once the seal landed, they would be doomed. But there was no stopping it, for the Heavenly Pillar Seal was already descending!

426. Lin Fei Strikes Down the Three Immortals

Lin Fei's Heavenly Pillar Seal ruthlessly descended upon the Vajra Chain. The Heavenly Pillar Mountain, a range stretching hundreds of miles, was an incomparably heavy ancient divine mountain. It suddenly bore down upon the Vajra Chain, causing it to be flattened, and compressed to its limits. Yet, miraculously, it held.

But Lin Fei's arsenal was not limited to just the Heavenly Pillar Mountain. As the Heavenly Pillar Mountain suppressed the Vajra Chain, Lin Fei, in his True Martial King Form, once again reached out, aiming a fierce blow at the Three Immortals.

"No..." came a cry as Lin Fei's palm, vast as it blotted out the sky, crashed down upon the Three Immortals. The sound of impact was sharp, a squelch.

Though the Three Immortals had protective measures and other magical treasures, aside from the Vajra Chain, what other magical artifact could withstand a blow infused with Lin Fei's power of the Four Symbols?

When his palm met their forms, the force of the Four Symbols exploded with great intensity. All their defenses, like the Triple Yin True Fire and the Grand Yin Wind, erupted in a mere instant.

The nascent souls of the Three Immortals were swiftly obliterated. Lin Fei was truly intent on killing. Recognizing the threat the Three Immortals posed, once he'd gauged their strength, there was no way he would allow them to remain. Thus, seizing the opportunity, he annihilated them.

With the death of the Three Immortals, the Vajra Chain fell into Lin Fei's possession. His objective was achieved.

Lin Fei then retracted the Heavenly Pillar Seal. The seal, because of the Vajra Chain's interference, had not completely descended, thus, in a way, "saving" the Three Immortals City.

Without the Vajra Chain, had the Heavenly Pillar Seal fallen, with hundreds of miles of mountainous mass crashing down, would there have been a Three Immortals City left? It would likely have been crushed into dust by the Heavenly Pillar Mountain, leaving no soul in the city untouched.

With the Three Immortals dead, Lin Fei had no intention of destroying the Three Immortals City. There was no meaning in such an act. The Three Immortals City was different from the Vast Void Immortal Sect.

The cohesion of the Three Immortals Sect was almost non-existent. Upon the death of the Three Immortals, it would immediately collapse. However, Lin Fei wasn't about to let the Three Immortals Sect off without extracting a price.

"The Three Immortals are dead," he declared. "If you wish to live, present the treasures of nature brimming with life force. If I am pleased, I may spare the Three Immortals Sect."

Lin Fei's voice echoed over the Three Immortals City. Chaos reigned within. They had witnessed all that had transpired. The Three Immortals were dead, three top-tier Nascent Soul Great Beings gone. To them, this seemed an unfathomable event. But it was reality. The death of the Three Immortals signified danger for the city.

Moreover, they realized they were in the presence of an unparalleled formidable foe. Failing to meet Lin Fei's demands would doom the Three Immortals City.

"Quickly, go search for the heavenly materials and earthly treasures filled with vitality."

"At any cost, we must find these treasures."

"The Three Immortals have died; we don't want to join them in death..."

For the sake of survival, many Golden Core True Persons sprang into action.

Lin Fei cultivates the Endless Vitality Green Wood Bloodline, which requires a massive amount of treasures full of vitality. If he could obtain them from Three Immortals City, it would be wonderful.

Soon after, numerous Golden Core True Persons from Three Immortals City came forward, presenting a plethora of treasures in front of Lin Fei.

Lin Fei beckoned, and these treasures landed in his hands.

Taking a brief glance, he nodded in satisfaction. Indeed, the Three Immortals Sect and even the entire Three Immortals City had gathered an impressive amount of these treasures. No one dared to deceive Lin Fei; therefore, everyone was fully committed. Both the Three Immortals Sect and City were nearly emptied of their treasures.

"From today onwards, the Three Immortals Sect must disband. If I ever hear of the existence of the Three Immortals Sect again, I will definitely obliterate it."

With that, Lin Fei turned into a beam of light, disappearing into the horizon. He didn't bother to annihilate the Three Immortals Sect. With just a word, he could cause the complete collapse of the sect, without lifting a finger.

Holding the Vajra chain, Lin Fei returned to the Tai Su Treasure Pavilion and met Taoist Lord Tai Su.

"Taoist Lord, I have obtained the Vajra chain," Lin Fei said, handing it over immediately.

Upon receiving it, Taoist Lord Tai Su's face lit up with joy. But after a closer examination, he frowned, "Why is the Vajra chain cracked? It's full of fissures, as if... as if it was crushed by an immense force. But what kind of force could possibly break the Vajra chain?"

Taoist Lord Tai Su found it unbelievable. He knew very well the strength of the Vajra chain, as he crafted it himself. Damaging it would be extremely difficult, especially for those at the Martial King or Nascent Soul stages. Yet, the facts were in front of him. It was damaged.

Lin Fei casually responded, "Perhaps it was damaged during my battle with the Three Immortals. I used the Heavenly Pillar Seal to suppress the Vajra chain, allowing me to defeat the three. Both the Vajra chain and the Heavenly Pillar Seal are indeed top-tier magic treasures."

Lin Fei praised the Heavenly Pillar Seal.

"What? You used the Heavenly Pillar Seal to suppress the Vajra chain? So that's why the Vajra chain has some damages? And what about the Three Immortals? How could they have let this go?"

Taoist Lord Tai Su continued to inquire. He knew very well the strength of the Vajra chain. However, he was even more aware of the formidable power of the Heavenly Pillar Seal.

Taoist Lord Tai Su had initially thought that nothing could damage the Vajra chain, but the Heavenly Pillar Seal did. And even managed to leave it in a damaged state. But all of this wasn't what concerned him.

What truly mattered was how the Three Immortals reacted. This was the part that worried Taoist Lord Tai Su.

"The Three Immortals? I have slain them," Lin Fei said calmly.

"You... you've slain the Three Immortals..."

Even if Taoist Lord Tai Su had high expectations of Lin Fei, he was completely astounded upon hearing this. He was deeply shocked. The Three Immortals had fallen! They were defeated by Lin Fei.

It's well-known that the Three Immortals were top-tier Nascent Soul Great Beings. Furthermore, the Nascent Soul Magic Bodies of the Three Immortals could collaborate. Even someone at the Martial King level would find it challenging to defeat the Three Immortals, let alone kill them.

Otherwise, with Taoist Lord Tai Su's vast network and connections over the years, why would the Three Immortals have remained unbeatable?

It's because the Three Immortals were too strong, their reputation too immense. No one was confident enough to handle them. But now, all three were defeated at the hands of Lin Fei.

Though it seemed unbelievable, Taoist Lord Tai Su did not think Lin Fei would joke about such a matter. The Three Immortals were most likely truly dead.

Taoist Lord Tai Su never expected that the issue of the Three Immortals, which had troubled him for so many years, would be resolved by Lin Fei just like that. For a moment, he was somewhat silent.

"Taoist Lord Tai Su, I shall take my leave now," Lin Fei said. "If you need anything, you can find me at the Ancient Origin Sect."

With that, Lin Fei transformed into a beam of light, vanishing into the horizon.
