596. Lin Fei Transforms into the Eternal Realm, Overpowering Unity True Immortal!
Unity True Immortal, already acquainted with Lin Fei and known for his ability to transform into countless avatars, was the one who stepped forward. "Let me test fellow daoist Lin's capabilities," he said confidently.
"Very well, Unity True Immortal," Lin Fei nodded in agreement. "Let's take this to the void."
With a step, Lin Fei moved into the expanse of the void, with Unity True Immortal following suit. The gathering of Martial Ancestors, True Immortals, Martial Gods, and Deity Transformation cultivators below watched intently. A Martial Ancestor versus a True Immortal was an extraordinary event, even if it was just a friendly spar and not a fight to the death.
Taking a deep breath, Unity True Immortal announced, "Fellow Daoist Lin, please forgive my forthcoming actions," before he made the first move, demonstrating the power of his Dao, which could harness a portion of the Divine Realm's force.
"Unity Dao! Strike!"
With a resonant hum, the Dao of Unity True Immortal materialized, unleashing a formidable force that surged towards Lin Fei like a vast, unstoppable wave, attempting to crush him with the power not just of a True Immortal but of the Divine Realm itself.
However, Lin Fei remained unshaken, standing firm in the void until the force was nearly upon him. At that critical moment, Lin Fei acted.
With a thunderous roar, he transformed—his body became a world, the Eternal Realm!
Instantly, the vast expanse of the Eternal Realm materialized in the void, a colossal presence that eclipsed the sun and the stars. Despite the full might of the Divine Realm's power hurled by Unity True Immortal crashing against it, the Eternal Realm only showed faint ripples on its surface, akin to water stirred by a gentle breeze.
Then... there was no more 'then.'
Lin Fei's Eternal Realm remained undamaged, not even a scratch evident on its vast landscape. Instead, with a mere tremor, the realm's power erupted in full force, overwhelming Unity True Immortal's attack in an all-engulfing wave.
With a subdued sound, the avatar of Unity True Immortal was instantly obliterated, reduced to dust, and vanquished by the overwhelming power of Lin Fei's Eternal Realm.
The onlookers remained transfixed, their eyes glued to the void where the spectacular battle had unfolded. Lin Fei's transformation into an entire world had not only mesmerized the crowd but also deeply unsettled them with the sheer magnitude of power on display. Even the void seemed to have shattered under the force of their clash, sending ripples of awe and a palpable sense of oppression throughout the spectators.
As the dust settled and it became evident that Lin Fei's victory was decisive, the crowd's shock turned into a reverent silence. The battle, though brief, had been overwhelmingly conclusive.
Lin Fei had annihilated Unity True Immortal's avatar without him being able to mount any defense—a feat that left everyone in attendance astounded.
"Has Martial Ancestor Lin really transformed into an entire world?" one spectator whispered in disbelief.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist."
Thus, Lin Fei and Unity True Immortal returned to the high platform. After this battle, the gazes of the Ancients' Martial Ancestor and True Immortals upon Lin Fei changed.
Lin Fei had just achieved Martial Ancestor, yet he could overpower Unity True Immortal. None of them, they admitted, possessed such prowess. Especially those Dao Integration True Immortals.
There were almost none who could confidently claim victory over Unity True Immortal. Only the Martial Ancestor might have that potential, as their power varied greatly.
Having never truly fought, none knew whose strength was superior. After all, the Martial Ancestor's might lay within themselves. Even the Dao they mastered could gradually enhance. When unleashed, their power was earth-shattering.
Take the Great Dream Ancestor for instance, who dared to underestimate the Great Dream Ancestor?
For many years, the Great Dream Ancestor had not made a move. No one knew the extent of his current strength. Even the Great Dream Ancestor's gaze flickered with a keen light as he looked at Lin Fei.
"Fellow daoists, today is the birth of our second Martial Ancestor of the Great Dream Sect. After all these years, don't you have some fine gifts? How could you come empty-handed?"
The Great Dream Ancestor's eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly unceremonious.
He directly "requested" benefits. These True Immortals and Martial Ancestors were well-acquainted with the Great Dream Ancestor.
In the Ancient Covenant, overall, the True Immortals and Martial Ancestor were united. They stood together against external threats, a cohesive force. There might be some rivalry or disputes among the various factions.
But among the Ancient Covenant's True Immortals and Martial Ancestor, such top existences, there were no issues. Their relationships were excellent.
At the Great Dream Ancestor's single word, nearly all True Immortals and Martial Ancestor arrived. Only three, who were wandering far away and could not be contacted, were absent. Almost all the notified True Immortals and Martial Ancestors had come.
"Haha, what a Great Dream. You're still thinking about our benefits? Your Great Dream Sect is wealthy and prosperous."
For a moment, the True Immortals and Martial Ancestor burst into laughter. Lin Fei's Martial Ancestor ceremony concluded in a harmonious atmosphere.
Subsequently, this news spread swiftly. The entire Divine Realm received the message. The Ancient Covenant no longer had just eight Martial Ancestors but nine!
