307. The Power of Dual-World Saber
Lin Fei had already flown away from the Xiao family. He flew continuously, directly reaching a mountain range. If he wanted to test his new ability, Lin Fei naturally needed a place without constraints. In populated areas, it would be inconvenient.
This dense forest, devoid of any human presence, was populated with flora, fauna, and various wild beasts. Perhaps even some exotic beasts. It was the most fitting place for a test.
Floating above the mountain range, Lin Fei looked down, seeing the lush forest below, and the various wild animals roaming within.
The next moment, a Life Wheel emerged behind Lin Fei. On the Life Wheel, three layers of light emerged, representing his three Divine Abilities!
The third layer of light represented Lin Fei's newly acquired Divine Ability, Dual-World Saber. Although it was at Transcendence, it wasn't yet perfected.
Yet, the glow of the Dual-World Saber was even more radiant and vast than that of the perfected Gravity Domain and Black Wind Prison. The brighter and more radiant the light, the stronger the Divine Ability!
"Dual-World Saber, strike!"
With a mere thought, Lin Fei unleashed the Divine Ability, Dual-World Saber. He didn't have a saber, but he had the power of the Life Wheel.
Lin Fei's Life Wheel power had merged with the saber essence. So, at this moment, the power of the Life Wheel materialized, forming a saber.
This saber was not particularly large, merely tens of meters. compared to Lin Fei's previously used sabers, which stretched thousands of meters, it seemed insignificant. Yet, this tens-of-meters-long saber seemed to contain terrifying power.
"Boom."
With a slash, the saber cut through the air. It didn't create a world-shaking tremor, no roaring winds, no earth-shattering quakes. However, this singular slash, merely seeing it made one's heart race.
"Whoosh."
The Dual-World Saber descended, and a saber of tens of meters fell from the sky, dropping into the forest below.
The forest wasn't bisected. The ground didn't crack. Instead, an invisible force instantly split the entire forest in two.
On the left, whether it was plants, animals, or even stones, everything vanished. Turned to dust. As if erased from existence by some tremendous power.
On the right, everything remained intact. Trees, flowers, even the stones on the ground, and fallen leaves. Everything was unharmed. Only the animals and insects, suddenly and silently fell.
Without any visible injuries, they just dropped dead. Their life force rapidly fades, turning them into cold, lifeless bodies.
After all, no matter how strong a saber-related Divine Ability is, it still pertains to the "Dao of the saber." And as the Saber Domain evolves and progresses, it remains aligned with the "Dao of the saber."
The two are deeply connected. Otherwise, how could Saber Domain augment and enhance the power of the Dual-World Saber?
However, how does one elevate the Saber Domain?
Lin Fei had developed the Saber Domain for quite some time, yet, it remained at the beginner stage. The progress was still at zero. There hasn't been any advancement.
"Methods like saber techniques, saber intent, and saber momentum seem to be of limited help for the Saber Domain. Perhaps, by integrating with other Saber Domains, I might be able to progress in its cultivation. But no saber technique can be cultivated directly to the level of the Saber Domain. At best, one reaches saber momentum..."
Lin Fei's cultivation of the Saber Domain had reached a bottleneck. In the past, Lin Fei integrated directly. But now, saber techniques can only reach the momentum. None can be directly cultivated into the realm of the Saber Domain.
After all, the realm of the Saber Domain corresponds to that of a Martial Sovereign. And those at the level of Martial Sovereign are already cultivating Divine Abilities.
Who would then delve deep into saber techniques, let alone evolve them into the Saber Domain? This path seems impassable.
"Wait, honing the Saber Domain might still boost its cultivation. But, I'd need another powerful martial domain to sharpen the Saber Domain. Where can I find such a powerful martial domain?"
A thought flashed through Lin Fei's mind. Powerful martial domains, hadn't one appeared today? And so, in a flash, Lin Fei's figure transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the horizon.
...
The sun was rising. On a steep peak, below lay a bottomless cliff. At this moment, Sovereign Yuan sat cross-legged at the edge. He seemed to have been sitting there for a long time. In his hand, he held a sword. This sword was merely made of common iron, not some divine weapon. Yet, it was the sword that had been with Sovereign Yuan since his weaker days. Defeating enemies, defending against rivals, guarding Sovereign Yuan on his journey to become a Martial Sovereign.
It was Sovereign Yuan's "Guardian Sword". As Sovereign Yuan infused it with various materials, even this common iron blade began to transform. Sovereign Yuan could even sense that this mundane sword now seemed to possess a vague consciousness, connecting with his soul.
Suddenly, Sovereign Yuan's eyes snapped open. He grasped the sword tightly.
"I'm not mistaken! Although the Sword Domain's Transcendence couldn't suppress his Saber Domain, my path is not wrong. If the Transcendence Sword Domain fails to suppress, then I'll perfect the Sword Domain. Though his Divine Ability is powerful, my path is that of the sword. Divine Ability is but an aid. Even if I become a Martial King, my way is the sword! Nothing can shake my will."
The next moment, the sword in Sovereign Yuan's hand vibrated. It seemed to emit a sword aura, brighter than ever before!
"What a commitment to the Dao of the sword! I never expected someone to follow the Dao of the sword with such determination."
From behind Sovereign Yuan, a familiar voice sounded.
