488. The Descent of the Martial God Du Yuan, Seeking an Explanation!

Lin Fei returned to the Ancient Covenant. Without hesitation, he entered seclusion. The Zeng family's mystical realm was in his possession, once the Saber World of the Zeng's saber king. Now, this realm lay completely enveloped within Lin Fei's own Saber World, utterly subdued and dominated.

Thus, Lin Fei's consciousness could probe within it. The former Saber World, transformed into a mystic realm, comparable to other such enigmatic lands, its only difference, perhaps, was its slightly lesser expanse. After all, how vast could a realm evolved by a saber king be?

"Saber World, devour!" Lin Fei commanded without a moment's delay, commencing the absorption of this mystical realm.

With a thunderous rumble, despite the realm's strength, it stood no chance against Lin Fei's current Saber World. Under the crushing force of his Saber World, the realm rapidly began to disintegrate, its fragments merging into the Saber World.

Lin Fei's Saber World expanded visibly at an astonishing pace. As time trickled by, three days later, Lin Fei completely devoured the Zeng family's realm.

"Excellent, the Saber World grows ever stronger! If I devour a few more Saber Worlds, then, relying solely on the Saber World, I might even withstand three heavenly tribulations, resisting at least three divine thunderbolts!" he murmured softly, a hint of unusual light flickering in his eyes.

Devouring the Saber World accelerated its growth immensely, an increase nearly exponential in scale. Such a predatory advancement proved highly effective, far outpacing the arduous, step-by-step cultivation.

Having tasted such rapid progression, the traditional path of cultivation seemed hardly appealing. Of course, this was possible due to the uniqueness of Lin Fei's world laws, able to accommodate and even devour other Saber Worlds, allowing his own to expand continuously.

Without these world laws, Lin Fei's Saber World would struggle to absorb others, let alone expand. Thus, only Lin Fei could accomplish this feat. Other Martial Gods could not replicate his method unless another Martial God, like Lin Fei, comprehended the world laws and coincidentally evolved a Saber World. But such a possibility was exceedingly slim.

Yet, Saber Worlds were elusive to find. To date, Lin Fei had devoured only two. Yet, this had led to a qualitative leap in his strength. With his current prowess, passing through three heavenly tribulations seemed feasible. Easily surpassed three tribulations, but to withstand several divine thunderbolts was more challenging.

Lin Fei's ambition was not merely to survive the tribulations. He aspired to plunder more laws, Only through this could he hope to master a complete Path, and thus, ascend to the stature of a Martial Ancestor! Even becoming a Great Martial God or a True Monarch, was not his ultimate aim.

Achieving True Monarch status, and shattering the void, was, in Lin Fei's view, a matter of time. But becoming a Martial Ancestor was a far greater challenge.

Saber Worlds were scarce. What remained was the origin of the world itself. Plundering this origin was arduous. With his current strength equivalent to seven laws, even with the Saber World, even with the Particle World, he could be considered a top-tier Martial God.

But to vie for the origin of the world, to contest for smaller worlds, he was still far off. Unless Lin Fei survived three heavenly tribulations, and in those tribulations, plundered three, four, or even five laws, only then could he qualify to contend for smaller worlds. For now, Lin Fei prioritized stability.

"Then I can only continue to wait for an opportunity."

Thus, Lin Fei quietly waited in the ancient city. Preferring stability, shunning risks. Rather waiting for the next clue about a Saber World than recklessly competing for smaller worlds. For he had no certainty of victory, no assurance, and it would be perilously risky.

While Lin Fei waited silently for an opportunity, Zeng Yushu had already reached the Unity faction, meeting his master, the Martial God Du Yuan!

In the Great Dream City, Lin Fei was conversing with a Martial God.

"Hmm? Someone is inquiring about me?"

Lin Fei was somewhat puzzled. He had just learned from this Martial God that someone was seeking information about him.

"Indeed, it's Du Yuan from the Unity faction."

In the Great Dream City, many members of the Great Dream Sect were exchanging information, and news traveled fast.

Lin Fei was immediately aware of the inquiries about him.

"The Unity faction, Du Yuan?"

After a brief contemplation, Lin Fei understood. It must be Zeng Yushu's master. Zeng Yushu's master was a Martial God of the Unity faction. Doubtlessly, Du Yuan would soon seek him out.

However, Lin Fei had anticipated a visit from a Martial God of the Unity faction. As fellow members of the Ancient Covenant, Lin Fei couldn't annihilate the Zeng family. Such an action would change the nature of things, and even the Great Dream Sect might not protect him. But not destroying the Zeng family meant they would eventually seek the intervention of the Unity faction's Martial God.

After all, this matter had to be "addressed" somehow. Otherwise, the Zeng family wouldn't let it rest.

"Right, I heard that the Unity faction has produced many saber kings. If you're looking for Saber Worlds, this might actually be an opportunity," The Martial God conversing with Lin Fei said with a smile.

"Saber kings of the Unity faction?"

Lin Fei's eyes lit up. Indeed, he had almost forgotten about that. The Unity faction was a martial arts sect with a long heritage. It was natural for them to have produced saber kings, even many of them.

The Saber Worlds preserved by them would surely be numerous. Normally, Lin Fei had no excuse to visit the Unity faction in search of Saber Worlds. But this time, he might just have the reason he needed!

Thus, Lin Fei was even feeling a bit of anticipation. On this day, Lin Fei suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, a thunderous voice boomed from the sky.

"Lin Fei! Du Yuan of the Unity faction has come to seek an explanation!"

This voice, mighty and resounding, spread throughout the surrounding void. For a moment, the entire ancient city turned its attention to this event.
