515. A Leap in Strength, Aspiring to Dominate a Realm!
Lin Fei, having calculated the time, confirmed it had indeed been three days. He generally trusted the Heart Demon Martial God and was pondering whether the latter intended to renege on the agreement.
At that moment, the Heart Demon Martial God arrived. Presenting himself personally, he expressed relief upon seeing Lin Fei, "I've finally made it in time."
"To secure the five Saber Worlds for you, Lin Daoist Friend, I've incurred a great cost," the Heart Demon Martial God revealed. He then handed over the five Saber Worlds to Lin Fei, who was quite pleased with them.
"Excellent, these are indeed the five Saber Worlds," Lin Fei remarked, praising the Heart Demon Martial God for his reliability. "However, there's one small favor I hope you can do for me."
"What favor?" asked the Heart Demon Martial God.
"Experience my Saber World," Lin Fei said, not allowing the Heart Demon Martial God any time to react.
Lin Fei's Saber World instantly expanded and enveloped the Heart Demon Martial God. The latter, caught by surprise, wondered why Lin Fei had suddenly made a move against him. Lin Fei remained silent, intensely observing the Heart Demon Martial God. He didn't use the power of the nineteen hundred particle worlds within him but solely relied on the Saber World and the power of the Ten Directions Heavenly Formation, unleashing the mirage beast's illusionary arts along with the Saber World's suppressive and sealing forces.
With Lin Fei's current mastery of the Saber World, it was indeed possible to suppress the Heart Demon Martial God, although it would take time and allow for some resistance from him.
But now, things were different. As Lin Fei's Saber World enveloped the Heart Demon Martial God, the latter seemed to lose all sense of action, appearing utterly bewildered, as if trapped in an illusion. Indeed, he had fallen into an illusion.
Lin Fei was astonished, knowing well that the Heart Demon Martial God was extremely proficient in illusionary techniques and even possessed the Law of Illusion. Yet, he had been ensnared in the illusion within Lin Fei's Saber World, which was merely the power of a juvenile mirage beast.
After a few breaths, the Heart Demon Martial God shuddered and then regained clarity in his eyes.
"Wait, I just fell into an illusion created by the mirage beast?" he said in disbelief. Lin Fei nodded slightly, confirming, "You've finally come to your senses. You were indeed pulled into the illusion by the mirage beast."
However, it required extensive planning over thousands of years, which Lin Fei lacked the patience for. Therefore, he dismissed the Heavenly Secret Realm from his consideration.
Next, Lin Fei considered the Seven-colored Realm, which had been contested for thousands of years without signs of imminent collapse. He ruled it out as well. Many other small worlds were too weak to pique his interest. After a thorough evaluation, only one small world barely met Lin Fei's criteria: the Heavenly Principle Realm.
The Heavenly Principle Realm was roughly half the size of the True Spirit Realm, and its world origin energy was likely half as much. However, it was still a considerably large small world, and crucially, it was on the brink of collapse. Many Martial Gods from the Great Dream Sect were already involved, and the sect was seeking additional support.
Lin Fei contemplated, "If I collaborate with several Martial Gods, how much of the world origin energy would I actually receive, considering the small size of the Heavenly Principle Realm?" He realized that if he acted alone and dominated the Heavenly Principle Realm, even though it was smaller than the True Spirit Realm, he could potentially obtain the same amount of world origin energy as he did in the True Spirit Realm.
His eyes lit up with this realization. In the True Spirit Realm, he had only acquired half of the world origin energy, roughly equivalent to the total world origin energy of the Heavenly Principle Realm. Thus, Lin Fei harbored a bold idea: he didn't want to collaborate with others; he aimed to monopolize the world origin energy of the Heavenly Principle Realm.
However, the situation in the Heavenly Principle Realm was complex, with many forces involved and plans that spanned thousands of years. If Lin Fei interfered and attempted to take over the entire realm, would those people and forces agree?
Moreover, it could potentially involve True Monarchs, as it was unlikely that these forces and individuals didn't have True Monarchs backing them. Nevertheless, Lin Fei had his own backing; he was a member of the Great Dream Sect.
Under normal circumstances, a True Monarch wouldn't personally intervene against a Martial God. But those were just ordinary situations. If provoked, a True Monarch might indeed take action. Martial Ancestors and True Immortals need not be feared; their intervention would surely draw the attention of the Great Dream Ancestor. After all, their involvement would be seen as excessive bullying, a concept entirely different from a True Monarch's potential engagement.
"True Monarch..." Lin Fei murmured. True Monarchs were powerful, capable of shattering the void or comprehending the secrets of the vacuum. However, if Lin Fei obtained the world origin energy from the Heavenly Principle Realm and survived his fifth heavenly tribulation, his power might soar to the level of shattering the void. He was already nearing the limit of a Martial God. Even if his power post-fifth tribulation didn't match a True Monarch's, it wouldn't be far off. If a True Monarch did intervene, Lin Fei believed he could withstand it.
"There's no way to be completely risk-free," he thought. "The Initial Evil True Monarch dominated a small world with tens of thousands of avatars. I don't have that many avatars. Perhaps I need to collaborate with a Deity Transformation cultivator."
Lin Fei thought of North Wind True Person, but he had passed away. Finding another Deity Transformation cultivator might be possible, but the thought of sharing the spoils with another made Lin Fei somewhat reluctant.
"Wait, can my Saber World now envelop an entire small world? If I expand the Saber World without regard for its power, even covering the whole small world, just to collect the world origin energy, that should be feasible, right?"
A flash of inspiration struck Lin Fei. He had thought of a plan!Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates
