278. The Power of Black Wind Prison

Lin Fei arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall and found Wind Sovereign.

"Hmm? Sovereign Lin, shouldn't you be consolidating your cultivation and practicing your Divine Ability? Why have you come to see me?" Wind Sovereign remarked with surprise upon seeing Lin Fei.

It was commonly understood that new Sovereigns would seclude themselves to train. Wind Sovereign himself had done just that, closing himself off for three whole years before mastering his first Divine Ability. Almost every Martial Sovereign became irresistibly engrossed in cultivating their Divine Abilities.

"Sovereign Lin, did you encounter difficulties in your Divine Ability training?" he asked with a smile. "If you have questions, you can always ask."

Wind Sovereign held Lin Fei in high regard. After all, Lin Fei was the first Martial Sovereign the Ancient Origin Sect had produced in centuries. There was a chance that, in the future, his family might need Lin Fei's support.

Lin Fei calmly replied, "Regarding my Divine Ability, I have mostly grasped it and haven't encountered many challenges. I came to ask about Illusion Worry City. I need top-tier Martial Saint saber techniques to augment my saber base, hoping to evolve into the Saber Domain. I've already explored the best techniques in the sect's Martial Arts Tower, but they're insufficient. I need more top-tier Martial Saint-level saber techniques. I wish to visit Illusion Worry City to see if I can obtain some, and that's why I wanted to consult you about the city."

Wind Sovereign blinked in disbelief.

"You want to go to Illusion Worry City for top-tier Martial Saint saber techniques? Wait, rewind a bit. Did you just say you've already begun mastering your Divine Ability? Did you choose to cultivate the Great Divine Ability or the Lesser?"

His eyes widened, and a hint of astonishment graced his features.

"It's a Great Divine Ability called the Black Wind Prison. I presume you're familiar with it?" Lin Fei inquired without any reservation. After all, it wasn't a secret.

"Black Wind Prison... That's indeed a Great Divine Ability! And it's by no means weak among the Great Divine Abilities. You've already cultivated it successfully in such a short time..."

Wind Sovereign had already been profoundly stunned when Lin Fei became a Martial Sovereign so quickly. But now, hearing that Lin Fei had mastered a Great Divine Ability in just a few days? It took him three whole years for his first one! The stark contrast left Wind Sovereign somewhat at a loss for words.

"It's just the beginning. I haven't fully mastered it yet," Lin Fei remarked with a shake of his head. He had merely "intimidated" the Black Wind Prison once, demonstrating his ruthless determination, after which it willingly became his martial art. By Lin Fei's assessment, he was far from having mastered it.

"Lin Fei, let's spar," Wind Sovereign proposed, unable to contain his curiosity about Lin Fei's rapid cultivation of such a powerful Divine Ability, especially one of the Great Divine Abilities.

Lin Fei nodded. He too was eager to gauge the strength of other Martial Sovereigns' Divine Abilities.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Both promptly exited the cave dwelling. Opting not to spar on the standard platforms — as a clash between two esteemed Martial Sovereigns, both employing Divine Abilities, could cause a massive commotion that might demolish the entire arena and potentially harm spectators — they soared directly into the void. And they kept ascending until they reached the clouds.

Here, amidst the drifting white clouds, their activities would be hidden from prying eyes below. Although the high altitude exerted an intangible pressure on the physical body, both Lin Fei and Wind Sovereign, having undergone several bodily transformations, could withstand this force.

"Let's begin," Wind Sovereign declared. "Sovereign Lin, my Divine Ability is called 'Mountain Collapse', also a Great Divine Ability. Be careful."

Lin Fei nodded in understanding. This was merely a friendly spar, not a fight to the death. Both would exclusively display their Divine Abilities without resorting to other tactics.

In the next moment, both simultaneously manifested their Life Wheels.

A resonating hum filled the air.

Behind Wind Sovereign, a massive Life Wheel emerged. On the Life Wheel, a halo of light circled, signifying the presence of a Divine Ability. Similarly, behind Lin Fei, another Life Wheel materialized, also surrounded by a radiant glow, representing yet another Divine Ability. The two colossal Life Wheels, suspended in the void, exuded an overwhelming aura. Both being Martial Sovereigns, neither was suppressed by the other's aura.

Though Wind Sovereign had become a Martial Sovereign centuries before Lin Fei, he had cultivated only one Divine Ability so far. Upon reaching the Martial Sovereign level, it's not uncommon to experience little to no progress for decades or even centuries.

"Wind Sovereign, my Divine Ability is called Black Wind Prison. Be prepared," Lin Fei warned.

Both unleashed their Divine Abilities simultaneously with a resounding "boom." Wind Sovereign's Mountain Collapse ability was overpowering, simulating the cataclysmic force of mountains crumbling and the ground splitting apart. The void itself trembled under its might, with thunderous bursts of energy echoing around. And adding to its potency, Wind Sovereign launched this ability with a single punch. This was no ordinary martial skill but a genuine Divine Ability, rivaling spells and magic treasures in strength.

"Black Wind Prison!"

With a mere thought, Lin Fei stretched out his finger, pointing directly at Wind Sovereign. The required Life Power was instantly mobilized to fuel the Divine Ability. The activation of a Divine Ability demands the support of Life Power, which naturally regenerates over time without the need for cultivation. But unless the adversaries are evenly matched and a war of attrition ensues, the amount of Life Power is not usually a deciding factor. Rarely are Divine Abilities equal in power.

As Lin Fei executed his move, Wind Sovereign's world was enveloped in darkness. He could neither see nor hear, feel, or sense anything. His five senses were entirely sealed off. Swiftly, Lin Fei retreated. With Wind Sovereign's senses sealed, his Mountain Collapse Divine Ability went berserk, manifesting its true might. Even from a distance, Lin Fei felt as if he was on the verge of being completely crushed. He had to deploy his saber momentum for protection, evading the brunt of Wind Sovereign's attack.

This escape was only possible because Lin Fei's Black Wind Prison had incapacitated Wind Sovereign's senses, leaving him momentarily unaware of his surroundings.

"Bone-Eroding Wind."

Almost simultaneously, within Lin Fei's Black Wind Prison, the Bone-Eroding Wind began to blow.

A gentle gust of this wind passed by, and Wind Sovereign felt a jolt throughout his body. Following this, his reborn physique, which had undergone transformation and rebirth, began to dissolve swiftly, just like snow under sunlight. Even his Life Wheel behind him seemed to be affected by the Bone-Eroding Wind, its luminescence dimming as if on the verge of disintegration.

"Stop! Sovereign Lin, halt immediately!" Wind Sovereign shouted, urgency evident in his voice.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Fei promptly dispersed the Black Wind Prison Divine Ability. Almost instantly, the world lit up before Wind Sovereign's eyes, and his senses returned to their natural state. However, when he looked down at his body, his expression turned somber.

"Black Wind Prison, Great Divine Ability Black Wind Prison!" he muttered to himself.

"Sovereign Lin, this Black Wind Prison is more than just a Great Divine Ability," Wind Sovereign said, a bitter smile crossing his face.
