396. Contention

There was intense shaking at the entrance of the Tuyuan Realm. Soon after, several figures flew out from within the realm.

Time's up!

The time in the Tuyuan Realm had ended, prompting people to leave. The first to emerge was a Golden Core cultivator, his face pale as ash, looking terrified as if he had witnessed something horrifying.

"They're all dead! Only I escaped, and I didn't get anything..."

The Golden Core cultivator began to recount what had transpired within the realm. Although backed by a Nascent Soul master, he was still outmatched. Deaths inside the realm were commonplace; if you were defeated, it was merely because of your lack of skill.

As more people emerged from the entrance, Lin Fei spotted the Sect Leader of the Ancient Origin Sect and the Wind Sovereign among them.

"You're back?"

Upon observing the Ancient Origin Sect Leader, Lin Fei noted that his physical body seemed to have grown much stronger. Moreover, everyone seemed to have reaped some rewards, and their gains appeared substantial. However, Lin Fei quickly counted and realized they were one person short.

"One person is missing. What happened?" Lin Fei inquired.

The Ancient Origin Sect Leader took a deep breath, not daring to conceal the truth, and reported, "Indeed, we're missing one - it's Sovereign Pang. We encountered a group of Golden Core cultivators. We clashed over a particular treasure. In the end, Sovereign Pang died. However, we managed to kill fourteen of those Golden Core cultivators. Only two managed to escape."

The Ancient Origin Sect Leader gritted his teeth. It was evident the battle had not been easy. Surprisingly, they had managed to slay so many Golden Core cultivators. No doubt, the Ancient Origin Sect Leader and his team were well-prepared and possibly had other tactics up their sleeves.

Lin Fei nodded and said, "In the realm, fate determines life and death. Sovereign Pang's death was due to his lack of skill, and no one else is to blame. It's good that the rest of you are alive. I hope this journey into the Tuyuan Realm will be transformative for you. May the Ancient Origin Sect gain another Martial King in the future!"

Lin Fei didn't seem overly concerned. Deaths within such realms were typical. After all, whether it was a Golden Core cultivator or a Martial Sovereign, all vied for treasures. Clashes over disagreements were frequent. How could there be no casualties?

"What? All of them are dead? Only the two of you survived? Speak! Who did this? Who dared to kill the cultivator of our Vast Void Immortal Sect?"

"Hmph, your Ancient Origin Sect only lost one, while our Vast Void Immortal Sect lost fourteen!"

"That just shows that your Vast Void Immortal Sect's Golden Core disciples are all show and no substance, less skilled than others." Lin Fei said dismissively.

"Well said, 'less skilled than others'! It seems the Ancient Origin Saber King hasn't heard of my Vast Void Immortal Sect. Or perhaps, the Ancient Origin Saber King feels that defeating a few Nascent Soul cultivators and killing some Martial Kings means he can act with impunity?"

Facing the Nascent Soul Magic Avatar, Lin Fei didn't respond. Speaking more wouldn't change the situation. The opposition clearly didn't want him to leave, and didn't care about Lin Fei's "reputation." But when his reputation couldn't deter others, the situation became simpler. In the vast Ancient Continent, power reigned supreme. Nothing trumped raw strength.

"In that case, let me cut you down!" A sharp glint flashed in Lin Fei's eyes.

Boom!

In an instant, the four bloodlines within Lin Fei exploded with power - the Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline, the Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline, the Triple Yin True Fire Bloodline, and the Supreme Yang Heavenly Thunder Bloodline. And it wasn't over. "Saber World!"

Suddenly, a layer of white light descended, enveloping both the Vast Void Immortal Sect's Nascent Soul cultivator and his Magic Avatar, completely sealing off the two worlds.

The oppressive force of the Saber World pressed down heavily.

"What? Saber World?" The expression of the Nascent Soul from the Vast Void Immortal Sect changed dramatically.

Meanwhile, Lin Fei's vast True Martial King Form unleashed a mighty saber strike. Accompanied by raging winds, true fire, and a massive thunder trench, it descended with great momentum.

"Four bloodlines and the Saber World, how is this possible?!" The Nascent Soul roared, his voice filled with shock and fear.

Boom!

Finally, the saber fell. The power of the four bloodlines overwhelmed the opponent's Nascent Soul Magic Avatar.
