283. Worry-free Sovereign's Decision

Worry-free Sovereign glanced at his own body, reduced to bare bones. It looked incredibly tragic. If he had acted even a moment later, his physical body would have been completely destroyed. At that point, even as a Martial Sovereign, he would have undoubtedly perished.

Dangerous!

This time, the risk was too great. Worry-free Sovereign had never expected that he might fall at Lin Fei's hands. Fortunately, he had chosen a life-saving Divine Ability as his third. Otherwise, this time would have been truly perilous.

The contests between Martial Sovereigns are this intense. Divine Abilities are mysterious and unpredictable. One can never be sure about the opponent's Divine Ability. In terms of mysterious and arcane techniques, they are even more enigmatic than Golden Core True Persons.

It's known that the way of the Qi cultivator has many techniques, like spells, magic treasures, and formations. Only a Martial Sovereign, possessing a Divine Ability, can truly match up with the Golden Core True Persons.

As Worry-free Sovereign channeled his Life Power, fresh flesh and blood grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. Quickly, Worry-free Sovereign was restored to its original state.

At that moment, Wind Sovereign laughed out loud, "Hahaha, Worry-free, how was that? Our Ancient Origin Sect's Martial Sovereign isn't too shabby, right? Sovereign Lin is just a newly advanced Martial Sovereign from our sect. Surprisingly, even after displaying three Divine Abilities, you're still no match for him. As long as Sovereign Lin is around, you'll always be overshadowed!"

Wind Sovereign's words were dripping with sarcasm. Worry-free Sovereign's expression changed repeatedly, while Lin Fei calmly asked, "Worry-free Sovereign, do you wish to continue the battle?"

Worry-free Sovereign looked deeply at Lin Fei and asked in a deep voice, "What was that wind just now?"

"Bone-Eroding Wind. A wind that reveals bones upon touch," Lin Fei answered succinctly.

"A formidable Bone-Eroding Wind," Worry-free Sovereign commented. "Sovereign Lin, I admit my defeat..."

He had lost. If the battle continued, he would still lose.

With Worry-free Sovereign's admission, the entire population of Illusion Worry City was in shock.

He lost! Worry-free Sovereign actually lost! Did this mean that the balance of power in Illusion Worry City would change? And it was Lin Fei who defeated him.

Who was Lin Fei? He was the rising star who, with the body of a Three Flowers Gathering Martial Sovereign, had repelled True Person Lu Feng.

And now, Lin Fei had just attained the title of Martial Sovereign. While others might still be diligently practicing a single Divine Ability, Lin Fei was already capable of challenging Worry-free Sovereign. He even defeated Worry-free Sovereign in one fell swoop.

Wind Sovereign felt so elated that the bottleneck in his cultivation of the Great Divine Ability seemed to loosen. Perhaps, the Divine Ability is on the verge of Transcendence!

"Sovereign Lin, the top-tier saber techniques you requested will be delivered as promised," Wind Sovereign assured.

"Tianyun, fetch the top-tier saber techniques," Worry-free Sovereign ordered.

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

"Yes, Master!" Jiang Tianyun responded, his expression complex. His previous bold claims seemed to have collapsed the moment Lin Fei defeated his master. His confidence was thoroughly shattered! Facing such a formidable Lin Fei, who would dare to catch up? Even the most resolute will would waver in front of Lin Fei.

Jiang Tianyun then flew back into Illusion Worry City. Meanwhile, Worry-free Sovereign and Lin Fei remained in a standoff. Even though he was defeated, Worry-free Sovereign would not permit Lin Fei to enter Illusion Worry City. It was a rule: no Sovereign should step into Illusion Worry City! This was not just his decision but also that of Illusion Heart True Person. After all, this was merely a martial arts spar. A real life-and-death battle would be a different story. No matter how powerful Lin Fei was, Worry-free Sovereign still possessed combat capabilities.

Lin Fei had no intention of entering Illusion Worry City, nor did he intend to kill Worry-free Sovereign. His current power was still somewhat forced. He might defeat Worry-free Sovereign, but to kill him would be too challenging. After all, he only had one Divine Ability, which was at a beginner level. His saber momentum was indeed formidable, comparable to an average Golden Core True Person or Martial Sovereign. Yet, it was just saber momentum and not enough to kill those of higher ranks.

Moreover, Lin Fei's objective was clear: he just wanted the top-tier saber techniques at the Martial Sovereign level.

Before long, Jiang Tianyun flew out of the city again, holding several martial arts manuals. However, there weren't many, perhaps less than ten in total.

"Sovereign Lin, here are the top-tier saber techniques of the Martial Sovereign level you requested," Jiang Tianyun said, presenting the items. "After searching throughout Illusion Worry City, we only found these nine top-tier saber technique manuals."

Lin Fei took a look at the manuals. They were different from the techniques in the Ancient Origin Sect, and they were indeed the top-tier saber techniques at the Martial Sovereign level, each capable of manifesting saber momentum. Nine top-tier saber techniques – it was sufficient!

"Wind Sovereign, let's leave," Lin Fei said, after safely storing the technique manuals. Without uttering another word, he and Wind Sovereign turned into streaks of light and vanished into the horizon.

As Lin Fei's figure disappeared, an elderly figure slowly emerged from the crowd.

"City Lord Illusion Heart!" Many were taken aback. Illusion Heart True Person had been amidst them, and they hadn't even noticed.

"This Sovereign Lin is truly remarkable," Illusion Heart True Person remarked thoughtfully. Lin Fei's decisive departure had not gone unnoticed. While others might not understand, how could he not? Lin Fei had detected his presence.

"Indeed, he's exceptional," Worry-free Sovereign coldly replied. "The Ancient Origin Sect might have truly ushered in a formidable Martial Sovereign. But this might not be a good thing. Don't forget, that Taiyi Dao Palace has set its sights on the Ancient Origin Sect and even on Lin Fei. A great battle between the three major powers and Taiyi Dao Palace seems inevitable..."

"Illusion Heart, I've decided to go into seclusion," Worry-free Sovereign continued, "I had intended to delay it, but recent events have made me realize that I've been too complacent. My Divine Ability, Quicksand, has reached perfection. Therefore, I can cultivate a fourth Divine Ability anytime. I was previously unsure whether to choose a Lesser Divine Ability or a powerful Great Divine Ability. Now, I've made up my mind. How much stronger can multiple Lesser Divine Abilities make me? Moreover, with my Divine Ability, Quicksand, I already have sufficient defensive capabilities. Thus, I have decided to cultivate a Great Divine Ability!"

It seemed that Worry-free Sovereign was deeply affected by recent events. In the past, even with Lesser Divine Abilities, he was able to defeat Martial Sovereigns like the Wind Sovereign who cultivated Great Divine Abilities. He had been somewhat proud, thinking his path of relying on Lesser Divine Abilities to defeat those with Great Divine Abilities was correct.

However, now he realized he was mistaken. Lesser Divine Abilities were just that – lesser. They couldn't compare to a true Great Divine Ability. He had defeated Martial Sovereigns like Wind Sovereign in the past, not because Great Divine Abilities were weak, but because those Martial Sovereigns were. Now, Lin Fei had defeated him using just one Great Divine Ability, shattering Worry-free Sovereign's pride.

Illusion Heart True Person looked deeply at Worry-free Sovereign and finally nodded, "It's wise. Not only should you seclude yourself, but even Illusion Worry City needs to stay low-key. I will handle everything; you focus on your cultivation."

With that, Worry-free Sovereign turned into a streak of light and flew into Illusion Worry City.
