305. Admit Defeat

Sovereign Yuan's face turned stiff.

The chains broke! His Divine Ability, the Vajra Unbreakable Chains, had actually been broken!

At the same moment, Lin Fei had a mere thought.

"Whoosh..."

The wind began to blow.

Within Lin Fei's Saber Domain, a chilling gust of wind swept across. Sovereign Yuan, now devoid of his Divine Ability's protection, felt the wind's touch. Instantly, his flesh was eroded. Only bones remained.

This was the Bone-Eroding Wind! With the wind's touch, only bones were left.

"Retract!"

Immediately, Sovereign Yuan's complexion changed dramatically. He retracted his Sword Domain. Although being heavily suppressed by the Saber Domain, the retracted Sword Domain managed to stifle the Bone-Eroding Wind instantly.

"Sword, come forth!"

"Clang!"

Sovereign Yuan gestured with his hand, From behind him, a sword swiftly flew out. The moment the sword left its sheath, countless sword lights, bolstered by the Transcendent Sword Domain, seemed to slice through the void.

"He drew his sword! Sovereign Yuan, having grasped the essence of the Sword Domain, is a top-tier swordsman, yet we've never seen him unsheathe his blade. It turns out that Sovereign Yuan's sword is this terrifying."

At that moment, many were deeply shaken!

A single blade, its gleam shattering the void. For many martial artists, the sword is a familiar weapon. However, many martial artists, once they become Martial Sovereigns, rarely use swords. They mostly deploy their Divine Abilities.

But now, Sovereign Yuan unsheathed his sword, The fierce sword light aimed directly at Lin Fei. Yet, Lin Fei keenly discerned, that this strike from Sovereign Yuan wasn't a mere sword technique.

It was a Divine Ability!

The Dao of the Sword Divine Ability! This was Sovereign Yuan's second Divine Ability. This Sword Divine Ability was boosted by the Sword Domain, the power of this strike would be immensely fearsome.

Regrettably, Lin Fei lacked a Saber Dao Divine Ability. However, he possessed the Heavenly Saber and the Gravity Domain.

"Heavenly Saber, strike!"

Endless saber lights, burning with roaring flames, carrying the might of the heavens, clashed fiercely against Sovereign Yuan's sword strike. Moreover, a terrifying gravitational force instantaneously acted upon Sovereign Yuan's sword light.

"Crack."

Endless sword radiance seemed to slice the void. Yet, at this moment, it shattered. With the sword's radiance shattered, the Divine Ability was also broken.

Lin Fei's Saber Domain vibrated intensely. This strike had clearly affected Lin Fei's Saber Domain. However, Lin Fei's Saber Domain, having incorporated numerous saber techniques and saber momentum, merely trembled momentarily and then returned to tranquility.

"Whoosh..."

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

The wind blew again. Lin Fei's Black Wind Prison never stopped. Even if Sovereign Yuan had the power of the Sword Domain to suppress, it could still restrain him, restricting his Sword Domain to a small area. Whereas Lin Fei's Saber Domain could freely suppress any Divine Ability that Sovereign Yuan exerted.

At this moment, the outcome was clear.

"I've lost..."

Sovereign Yuan said with a complex expression. He admitted defeat.

"Hmm?"

Lin Fei stared at Sovereign Yuan, speaking calmly, "You still haven't used your third Divine Ability."

Sovereign Yuan had three Divine Abilities. He had only shown two.

"Your one Divine Ability suppressed my Sword Domain. With your Saber Domain combined with the Gravity Divine Ability, what other Divine Ability could harm you? My final Divine Ability, even if unleashed, won't change the outcome. I never thought that the combination of Divine Ability and martial domain could be executed to this extent by you.

Your Saber Domain is clearly inferior to my Sword Domain in level, yet when combined with Divine Ability, becomes so terrifying. You don't possess the bloodline of the Martial King. However, your two Divine Abilities are both top-tier, and you can even manifest a Saber Domain... So, I admit defeat wholeheartedly!"

Sovereign Yuan's tone was calm. He lost. It had been a long time since he tasted defeat. It felt terrible. But it made Sovereign Yuan realize, there's always someone better!

Lin Fei had one less Divine Ability than him. His domain was also inferior. Yet, he still lost. And it was a total defeat. In a battle to the death, Sovereign Yuan knew clearly he would die. There wouldn't be any other outcome. However, Sovereign Yuan admitting defeat caused a stir among the spectators.

"Sovereign Yuan lost?"

"With his three Great Divine Abilities and a Transcendent Sword Domain, he still lost?"

"And he lost to a Martial Sovereign with only two Divine Abilities?"

"This Sovereign Lin not only possesses a Saber Domain but also two top-tier Great Divine Abilities. In all aspects, the Sovereign Yuan was almost completely suppressed. His loss was justified."

The martial artists of the Xia family merely discussed among themselves. But Xia Xuan turned pale, she stepped forward to Sovereign Yuan. With a trembling voice, she growled, "How could you admit defeat? Once you lose, all our prior efforts are wasted. Everything we've gained will be lost. Do you understand the consequences? Fight, fight to the death, you must win back our honor!"

Sovereign Yuan just gave Xia Xuan a cold glance. Expressionless, he calmly said, "Xia Xuan, when you lose, you lose. You merely lost what you obtained before; there's no real loss. But if I had continued the fight, I would have died! If you think you can beat Lin Fei, then you go ahead."

Having said that, Sovereign Yuan directly threw a spatial pouch to Xia Xuan.

"All the things I've won before are yours. From now on, we are settled."

Having spoken, Sovereign Yuan transformed into a streak of light. He quickly left the Xia residence, vanishing without a trace.

"Damn it!"

Xia Xuan's face turned ashen. She had never imagined that Sovereign Yuan would be defeated. Previously, she had nineteen consecutive victories. Hardly any Martial Sovereign below three Divine Abilities was a match for Sovereign Yuan.

"Xia Xuan, hand over the items."

Ring Sovereign's face broke into a slight smile. She felt incredibly exhilarated. Especially seeing the flustered and exasperated look on Xia Xuan's face. It made her even more elated.

Xia Xuan had no choice. Under everyone's gaze, she couldn't act dishonestly. Furthermore, Xiao Yuhuan was a Martial Sovereign from the Martial King lineage. She couldn't default on what she owed to Xiao Yuhuan.

Thus, Xia Xuan clenched her teeth and handed over the items to Xiao Yuhuan.

Xiao Yuhuan, along with Xiao Yuchen and Lin Fei, departed the Xia residence and returned to the Xiao family. She gave half of the items to Xiao Yuchen. This was their agreement. But, the most vital item was the Divine Ability manual.

"Sovereign Lin, we owe you big this time. Without you, I couldn't have found anyone to defeat Sovereign Yuan. This is the secret for the Divine Ability, Dual-World Saber. Take good care of it."

Ring Sovereign, staying true to their agreement, produced the manual for the Divine Ability Dual-World Saber. At last, this top-tier Great Divine Ability was now within grasp.

"Ring Sovereign, Aurora Sovereign. I am eager to cultivate this Divine Ability. I bid you farewell."

Without waiting, Lin Fei eagerly returned to his room to practice the newly obtained Divine Ability.

Watching Lin Fei's departing figure, Xiao Yuhuan glanced at Xiao Yuchen. With profound meaning, she said, "Aurora Sovereign, someone like Sovereign Lin has boundless potential. Even becoming a Martial King in the future isn't impossible. Even if he doesn't become a Martial King, with his talent, becoming an unparalleled Martial Sovereign isn't an issue. If you can forge a good relationship with Sovereign Lin and get his support, what would you have to fear about the Martial King Tower?"

Xiao Yuchen's heart shuddered. She sank into deep contemplation.
