435. The Fall of the Heavenly Artifact Sect
"Gone?" Lin Fei's brows furrowed. By now, the Heavenly Artifact Sect was nothing but ruins. The entire sect, from top to bottom, was buried within the mountain range.
With a stomp of his foot, Lin Fei activated his Earth Pulse Divine Mountain Spirit Communication Bloodline. The ground cracked open, creating a massive chasm that swallowed the Heavenly Artifact Sect whole. Lin Fei closed the crevice, erasing the sect without a trace. It was as if it had never existed.
Yet, Lin Fei was clear. The trouble wasn't over. In fact, the main problem remained: Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master was still alive.
"Let's head back to the Feng Clan first," he muttered, "There will always be a way to deal with him." With that, he departed from what used to be the Heavenly Artifact Sect.
The destruction of the Heavenly Artifact Sect was big news that could not be concealed. Especially when everyone knew that the Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master was on the verge of Deity Transformation. The news spread like wildfire, causing an uproar everywhere.
"What?! The Heavenly Artifact Sect was annihilated by the Ancient Origin Saber King?"
"Yes, the entire sect was buried underground by the Ancient Origin Saber King's supreme techniques!"
"It's unbelievable! The Heavenly Artifact Sect was founded by the Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master himself!"
"What about Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master? He's almost reached Deity Transformation!"
"I heard he went to the Feng Clan, intent on forcibly obtaining the Heavenly Pillar Seal, but was repelled by the Ancient Origin Saber King. He was even forced to detonate his Nascent Soul."
"But Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master is on the verge of Deity Transformation and has a Deity Transformation body. Even after the self-destruction, he must still be alive, right?"
"Who knows? But if he is still alive, he'll definitely harbor a deep grudge against Lin Fei."
"The future doesn't look promising for the Ancient Origin Saber King and the Feng Ling."
The news traveled throughout the entire Ancient World. Lin Fei's reputation was already formidable. He had defeated the Vast Ethereal Immortal Sect, slain the Peacock King, and annihilated the Three Immortals.
While his victory over the nearly Deity Transformation Ancestral Master seemed unbelievable, it wasn't entirely surprising. The real concern was that Ancestral Master still had a remaining avatar.
"I must expedite the cultivation of the eighth bloodline. Concerning Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master, Feng Ling, you must also stay vigilant, instructing the disciples to investigate his whereabouts everywhere. To pressurize Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master into hiding, buying us time."
"I understand our course of action now. I hope you too swiftly cultivate the nine bloodlines, and in time, find your path, fuse the yin and yang, and attempt to strike at Martial Gods..."
Mentioning the fusion of yin and yang, even Feng Ling's complexion shifted a tad.
Soon after, Lin Fei retreated to his private chamber. He already cultivated seven bloodlines. Aiming to cultivate the eighth and possibly the ninth.
Previously, Lin Fei intended to cultivate a defensive bloodline. However, after his duel with Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master, Lin Fei had a change of heart.
Lin Fei's power of the Four Symbols and the Five Elements, once fused, would form a novel World Power. In truth, this World Power encompassed a variety of powers, offense, defense, and more.
Previously, even Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master, with the power of his nine peak Nascent Soul Magic Avatars, couldn't shatter Lin Fei's World Power. Did Lin Fei then need to cultivate a defensive bloodline? Certainly not!
"The Four Symbols and Five Elements essentially represent the foundational elements of the world. Within me, which bloodlines are especially unique and yet cultivable?"
Lin Fei began pondering. The bloodlines within him were diverse. But apart from the Four Symbols and the Five Elements bloodlines, the remaining ones seemed rather common.
"Hold on, I possess the genuine blood of the Phoenix. By all means, that's the Phoenix bloodline! The Phoenix bloodline is a peak divine lineage, belonging to mythical beings! I can cultivate the Phoenix bloodline! Furthermore, I possess the Azure Flood Dragon's bloodline, which stems from the Azure Dragon's bloodline. Meaning, I also have a trace of the Azure Dragon's bloodline within me. And the Azure Dragon, that's a true dragon! I can likewise cultivate the true dragon bloodline!"
A thought struck Lin Fei.
Both the Phoenix and the Dragon are creatures of myth, of immense significance, possessing an array of wondrous abilities. Furthermore, cultivating the Phoenix bloodline has its advantages. There exists a genuine Phoenix. And even the genuine blood of the Phoenix.
For Lin Fei to perfect the Phoenix bloodline would naturally be a piece of cake. As for the Azure Dragon bloodline, it wouldn't pose an issue either. He'd begin with the Azure Flood Dragon King.
"First, I'll cultivate the Phoenix bloodline, followed by the Azure Dragon bloodline!"
Lin Fei had made up his mind. Thus, this time, he didn't need to search for cultivation techniques. He channeled a trace of the Phoenix bloodline from the genuine blood of the Phoenix.
