272. The Power of Martial Sovereign

272. The Power of Martial Sovereign

"Boom!"

The clash echoed mightily. Lin Fei's strike against the Golden Core-level magic treasure, the Great Mountain Seal, was nothing short of direct confrontation with the might of a Golden Core True Person Lu Feng.

Lin Fei was only at the Three Flowers Gathering stage and not a Martial Sovereign. How long had it been since a martial artist at the Three Flowers Gathering stage dared to confront a Golden Core True Person?

Many couldn't even recall. Perhaps such records were only found in ancient texts.

The towering Great Mountain Seal, initially as steady as Mount Tai, was menacingly crushing down on Lin Fei. However, Lin Fei's blade, powered by the Three Flowers Gathering, had struck it directly. Instantly, the Great Mountain Seal quivered, and the entire sea seemed to boil in response. The terrifying blade's aura could penetrate tens of thousands of meters.

For the first time, Lu Feng felt a jolt through his entire being. His Great Mountain Seal was actually repelled by Lin Fei's single strike!

"Impossible! A mere Martial Saint, no matter how powerful, is still just a Martial Saint. How could he repel the Great Mountain Seal of this True Person?"

Lu Feng was deeply shocked, finding it hard to believe. Even with the reality before him, he was in disbelief. Lin Fei, a mere Martial Saint, had actually managed to repel his Great Mountain Seal head-on.

Although he hadn't broken through the Great Mountain Seal, the mere act of repelling it was astonishing, leaving Lu Feng unable to accept it. This signified that Lin Fei, in his Martial Saint form, possessed a strength comparable to that of the Golden Core!

"You think a Golden Core True Person only possesses magic treasures? Water Shadow Thunder! Explode!"

Lu Feng was genuinely infuriated. His hands subtly formed several magic symbols. Instantly, the entire seabed began to boil. Around Lin Fei, there seemed to be massive bubbles forming, all made up of seawater.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

These water bubbles explosively detonated. Magic! This was an underwater magic technique. Golden Core cultivators differed from Foundation Establishment cultivators. A Golden Core True Person could instantaneously deploy a myriad of magical techniques, having virtually no weaknesses. Whether underwater, on land, or in the sky, they possessed a diverse array of magical skills, making them incredibly versatile.

Once these Water Shadow Thunders exploded, their power was immensely terrifying. Each of them could easily kill a Martial Saint or a Foundation Establishment True Person.

"Crack!"

At last, the Great Mountain Seal couldn't withstand any longer. When Lin Fei and the Wind Sovereign joined forces, even the Great Mountain Seal of Lu Feng couldn't stand the assault. Instantly, Lu Feng felt the looming threat of death.

"Ancient Origin Sect, well played! Wait for the wrath of the Taiyi Dao Palace! Water Escape!"

In the next moment, Lu Feng summoned a stream of water, swiftly retracting the Great Mountain Seal. Then, with the waters rippling around him, he disappeared without a trace, leaving even Lin Fei's saber momentum unable to restrain him.

Lin Fei looked coldly in the direction where Lu Feng had fled. This time, they hadn't managed to kill Lu Feng. Noticing Lin Fei's disappointment, the Wind Sovereign shook his head slightly, saying with a smile, "Lin Fei, do you know how difficult it is to kill a Golden Core True Person? Even if I teamed up with Red Crane True Person and Golden Light True Person, we wouldn't be sure of killing a Golden Core True Person.

Your current strength, allowing you to confront a Golden Core True Person head-on, is already at the level of a Martial Sovereign. In the history of our Ancient Origin Sect, no one has achieved this. In the vast Ancient Continent, among all Martial Saints, you're probably at the pinnacle. If you wish to kill Lu Feng, it's not too hard. Once you become a Martial Sovereign, the next time you encounter Lu Feng's True Person, you'll undoubtedly be able to slay him."

Red Crane True Person and Golden Light True Person both wore expressions of complexity. Lin Fei's strength had surpassed their expectations. This wasn't a minor matter. This revelation had the potential to change the balance of power among the three major forces in their world. After all, in this universe, the strong are revered above all.

Lin Fei was currently just a Martial Saint, but he had already displayed such formidable strength. How powerful would he become once he ascends to the status of Martial Sovereign?

With a series of swift motions, Lin Fei released five streaks of saber essence. They targeted five Foundation Establishment True Persons from the Taiyi Dao Palace. These individuals were among the top tier of Foundation Establishment True Persons.

While Lu Feng managed to escape, these five couldn't. Even though the treasures they acquired in the immortal mansion had been taken by Lu Feng, they themselves possessed five magic treasures of the Golden Core tier - the Great Mountain Seals, bestowed upon them by the elders of Taiyi Dao Palace. These seals were invaluable treasures. This time, however, the Great Mountain Seals couldn't escape, as they were suppressed by Lin Fei's saber essence and seized.

"Next time, Lu Feng will surely die!" Lin Fei's eyes were filled with cold determination.

Soon after, Lin Fei and the Wind Sovereign swiftly left the seabed, heading towards the Ancient Origin Sect. Golden Light True Person, Red Crane True Person, and the Foundation Establishment True Persons of their respective sects witnessed the entire sequence.

"A figure like Lin Fei has emerged from the Ancient Origin Sect. He acts so decisively. Taiyi Dao Palace surely won't let this slide easily. Perhaps, a great battle is on the horizon."

The eyes of the two Golden Core True Persons held a hint of complexity. Whether they were concerned for Lin Fei or apprehensive about Taiyi Dao Palace was unclear.

Soon, the two Golden Core True Persons, along with the disciples of their sects, departed. The entire seabed regained its tranquility. Even the immortal mansion, under the operation of its grand formation, vanished without a trace.
