414. Slashing the Peacock King

414. Slashing the Peacock King

Lin Fei took a deep breath. He understood that dealing with the Peacock King would be no simple task. Even though it seemed like he had just shattered the Peacock King's realm with a single saber strike, he actually didn't manage to harm the Peacock King at all.

Moreover, the Peacock King still had its most potent technique— that mesmerizing seven-colored radiance. Even Lin Fei could hardly discern its true essence. It was both mysterious and terrifying.

"Supreme Yang Heavenly Thunder Bloodline!" Lin Fei instantly invoked his True Martial King Form. At the same time, the sky was filled with rumbling thunders, and an overpowering Yang and firm thunder aura gradually converged in the void.

"Heavenly Thunder, descend!" Lin Fei swiftly activated his Thunder Bloodline, sending streaks of heavenly thunder crashing down like a massive net, aiming directly at the Peacock King.

However, facing the overwhelming thunder, the Peacock King merely chuckled coldly. Immediately after, the Peacock spread its feathers, and its tail, reminiscent of a grand canopy, overshadowed the sky with dazzling beauty, painting the entire horizon with its seven-colored brilliance.

Peacock Displaying its Feathers! It was the legendary display of the Peacock! But now, this display wasn't merely about beauty. The sky-filling thunders that crashed onto the Peacock King were instantly absorbed by the seven-colored glow, leaving the Peacock King utterly unaffected.

"Icebound!" Lin Fei's eyes turned cold, and an intense chill began to spread. Annihilation Frost Bloodline! It was among the most top-tier bloodlines. Especially now that Lin Fei's Annihilation Frost Bloodline had reached perfection, its power was incomparable to before.

As the chill permeated, it seemed like even the void was being frozen. The Peacock King began to feel an intense coldness, its body assaulted by the frost. Initially, its seven-colored realm could absorb and suppress anything, be it saber aura, sword beams, thunders, flames, and more. Even cold air could be suppressed by its seven-colored realm.

But the key here was that Lin Fei's Annihilation Frost Bloodline wasn't just about cold air. It started by freezing the void itself and then spread to the Peacock King. Under such circumstances, the Peacock King's seven-colored realm was rendered powerless. After all, Lin Fei was freezing the very void. Could it be that the seven-colored realm could suppress even the void itself?

The seven-colored realm was indeed powerful, but it hadn't reached such an invincible level. Consequently, as Lin Fei unleashed the Annihilation Frost Bloodline, the effects were pronounced. The void was frozen, and with it, the Peacock King was immobilized too.

Originally, the Peacock King had planned to suppress the frost using its seven-colored realm after being frozen. However, it miscalculated. Lin Fei's Annihilation Frost Bloodline was a top-tier bloodline. Once frozen, all its powers would be suppressed and subsequently "annihilated." That "annihilation" was the strongest aspect of this bloodline. A perfected Annihilation Frost Bloodline was indeed potent, so much so that even the Peacock King's seven-colored realm couldn't contend.

Crackling sounds emerged as the Peacock King was frozen, and its seven-colored realm was suppressed.

However, Feng Ling quickly caught the hidden meaning in Lin's words. Fulfilled a promise? It's clear who entrusted him. Feng Jiushang had already informed Feng Ling of his seeking help from Lin. She couldn't pretend to be ignorant. But becoming dao companions wasn't just about romantic feelings. There were many things to consider.

In the past, Feng Ling had considered finding a dao companion, but no one was worthy in her eyes. She was proud and ambitious, aiming to challenge the Martial Gods. How could someone not on her level be her equal?

More importantly, a dao companion should be someone who can mutually support and progress together in their cultivation journey. She needed someone stronger than herself in the martial arts. Such individuals were rare.

She had noticed Lin when he destroyed the Vast Void Immortal Sect. But she hadn't paid much attention until she witnessed his strength when she invited him to the secret realm to obtain the Phoenix bloodline. Even though he hadn't cultivated eight or nine bloodlines, he was stronger than Feng Ling!

Now, he had single-handedly defeated their great enemy, the Peacock King. Lin's potential and strength surpassed even hers. He was the dao companion she had been searching for.

When Feng Jiu Shang mentioned Lin to her, Feng Ling didn't refuse. That in itself indicated her intentions.

"Fellow daoist Lin, Would you like to explore the Dao with me? I will delay my attempt to become a Martial God. I can wait a hundred years if I must. Once you're ready to challenge the Martial Gods, we can combine our energies and be reborn in the flames. Then, together, we can both achieve the status of Martial Gods. Otherwise, if I become a Martial God first, the benefits of our union will likely not be in your favor."

Her face flushed a bit as she said this.

Lin replied thoughtfully, "So, both parties need to be Martial Kings, and only by combining their energies can they reap the maximum benefits?"

"Yes, only if both are on the same level."

Understanding her point, Lin, being bolder, approached and took Feng Ling's hand, laughing heartily. "Why would I make you wait for a hundred years? Within ten years, or even less, I will definitely challenge the Martial Gods!"

Lin Fei was full of confidence.

When Feng Ling mentioned waiting for him to achieve Martial God status together, Lin accepted her completely. She could have achieved the status first and then combined their energies, reaping most of the benefits for herself. But she chose to wait for him. With such a dao companion, what more could he ask for?
