335. The Great War is Coming
The Ancient Origin Sect indeed had Martial Sovereigns, and not just a few. They were mostly senior elders. Even among them, there were top-tier Martial Sovereigns who had cultivated nine Divine Abilities. Of course, these nine Divine Abilities were all Lesser Divine Abilities. However, that still made them top-tier Martial Sovereigns. Yet, Lin Fei hadn't met these Martial Sovereigns before.
Now that Lin Fei was gearing up to confront Taiyi Dao Palace, the Ancient Origin Sect couldn't remain indifferent. The Sect Master quickly made a decision. They would go all out! If they won this battle, the Ancient Origin Sect would be safe for now. Taiyi Dao Palace wouldn't dare lay a finger on them for decades, or even centuries to come. But if they lost, the Ancient Origin Sect would face the threat of complete annihilation. They had to give it their all.
Lin Fei waited patiently in the main hall. The Sect Master went to summon the senior elders. Soon, nine Martial Sovereigns flew into the hall, joining the Sect Master and Wind Sovereign. Excluding Lin Fei, the Ancient Origin Sect had a total of eleven Martial Sovereigns.
"Greetings, Sovereign Lin!" The nine Sovereigns turned their gaze to Lin Fei. Even though they had not met him before, the Sect Master had briefed them about recent events in the sect. These Martial Sovereigns who had been in seclusion or in deep slumber were naturally surprised by Lin Fei. When did the Ancient Origin Sect gain such a powerful Martial Sovereign?
"Sovereign Lin, these are all the Martial Sovereigns of our Ancient Origin Sect," the Sect Master solemnly announced.
Lin Fei nodded and responded, "Good, let's set out." He didn't say much else. A confrontation between the Ancient Origin Sect and Taiyi Dao Palace was inevitable. Moving the battlefield to the Taiyi Dao Palace might be a blessing in disguise, ensuring the Ancient Origin Sect wouldn't be destroyed. The group quickly soared into the sky, heading towards Taiyi Dao Palace.
...
Taiyi Dao Palace had recently seen the awakening of many ancient Golden Core True Persons. Some had slumbered for hundreds of years, while others had been asleep for thousands. They had finally been roused and needed some time to adjust to the current era.
However, for these ancient beings, awakening almost certainly meant they were bound to face death, so they had nothing to fear. Initially, when they learned they were awakened just to face a single Martial Sovereign, they were shocked.
A mere Martial Sovereign, even a top-tier one, shouldn't have necessitated their awakening. Even after getting to know some details about Lin Fei of the Ancient Origin Sect, they still found it unbelievable. The Taiyi Dao Palace was not at a critical juncture of life and death. Why was there a need to wake them up?
"Palace Master. The Taiyi Dao Palace has awakened us. Regardless of the reasons, it ultimately requires us to take action. Since Lin Fei and the Ancient Origin Sect pose a threat, we must spare no effort to eliminate them. What are you waiting for?"
The speaker was a remarkably ancient Golden Core True Person belonging to the era thousands of years ago, a prominent figure within the Taiyi Dao Palace.
The Palace Master responded, "It is almost time. I will use the Great Mountain Divine Seal to merge all of your Great Mountain Seals together. Even if we cannot utilize the Great Mountain Divine Seal, the combined power of the Great Mountain Seals alone will be earth-shattering. Taking action against the Ancient Origin Sect and Lin Fei will naturally increase our chances!"
"It won't be in vain that we were awakened by the sect!"
Hence, a large number of Golden Core True Persons, brimming with battle intent, quickly transformed into streaks of light, flying towards the outside of the Taiyi Dao Palace.
At this moment, outside the Taiyi Dao Palace, Lin Fei stood with his hands behind his back, quietly in the void. Behind him was a Martial Sovereign of the Ancient Origin Sect, also standing in the void, gazing at the gate of the Taiyi Dao Palace ahead. This was the Nascent Soul lineage! The Ancient Origin Sect had never had any Martial Kings.
Having come so close to the Taiyi Dao Palace, Lin Fei did not immediately make a move. The formation of the Taiyi Dao Palace was certainly not easy to break. However, even if he couldn't break it, Lin Fei was determined to deal a heavy blow to the Taiyi Dao Palace. To render the Taiyi Dao Palace powerless against the Ancient Origin Sect.
Therefore, he was biding his time. He knew that the Taiyi Dao Palace certainly could not hide behind the gate and refuse to come out. The people of the Profound Light Cave Heaven might do so, but the Taiyi Dao Palace absolutely couldn't.
A prestigious Nascent Soul lineage. If it lacked the courage to come out and fight and was instead blocked outside the gate by Lin Fei, then what right did the Taiyi Dao Palace have to be called a Nascent Soul lineage? It would likely become the laughingstock of the entire Ancient Continent.
Thus, Lin Fei stood outside the entrance, doing nothing. The Taiyi Dao Palace would certainly send someone out.
"Hum."
Suddenly, the gate of the Taiyi Dao Palace trembled slightly. Indeed, someone from the Taiyi Dao Palace had come out.
"Swish, swish, swish."
Thus, figures flew out of the Taiyi Dao Palace one after another. One, two, three, four, five...
However, with each figure that appeared, the eleven Martial Sovereigns of the Ancient Origin Sect behind Lin Fei widened their eyes. Their expressions became extraordinarily solemn.
Figures flew out of the Taiyi Dao Palace, one after another. It's just that, wasn't it a bit too many?
