"Boom!"
Lin Fei's entire body trembled. Concurrently, a voice from the system echoed in his mind. Alongside that, a surge of unfamiliar memories emerged in his consciousness.
"Divine Ability Annihilation has become the host's Divine Ability!"
Sorting through these new memories, Lin Fei understood that these were memories of a Great Divine Ability formed from the fusion of approximately twenty-eight Divine Abilities. In these memories, he himself had seamlessly combined these twenty-eight Divine Abilities, as though he had personally created this new Divine Ability.
"System," Lin Fei uttered without hesitation, promptly summoning the system's interface.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Arts Realm: Mid Martial Sovereign
Great Divine Ability: Black Wind Prison: Perfection
Great Divine Ability: Gravity Domain: Perfection
Great Divine Ability: Dual-World Saber: Perfection
Great Divine Ability: Annihilation: Beginner (Progress 10%)
Saber Domain: Transcendence (Progress 1%)
Lin Fei's martial arts realm had finally advanced from the early phase of Martial Sovereign to the mid-phase. From the early to the middle phase, Lin Fei could sense a dramatic increase in the power of his Life Wheel. Furthermore, the Life Wheel's power continued to subtly remodel his body, pushing it in a particular direction. This gradual transformation wasn't sudden and didn't significantly boost his strength.
However, this subtle change was essential. Without it, Lin Fei wouldn't be able to develop the Martial King bloodline in the future. However this transformation process was lengthy, and Lin Fei was not in a hurry. He let the power of the Life Wheel work its magic patiently.
His attention then shifted to the Great Divine Ability "Annihilation." Currently, its cultivation was only at the beginner level, with a mere 10% progress. This seemed different from the Divine Abilities other Martial Sovereigns created on their own.
Typically, when a Martial Sovereign personally creates a Divine Ability, it indicates a full understanding of that ability, allowing it to directly reach perfection. However, Lin Fei's self-made Divine Ability was still only at the beginner stage. Instead of being truly self-created, it felt more like a fusion of various Divine Abilities.
Furthermore, the Divine Ability was named "Annihilation," without the word "saber." It suggested that it wasn't a Saber Dao Divine Ability. It was noteworthy because the foundational ability, the "Heaven-ending Saber," had fused from fifteen Saber Dao Divine Abilities. But after amalgamating twenty-eight Divine Abilities, it had transformed, becoming an entirely different type of Divine Ability.
Lin Fei was also very curious. How powerful was the "Annihilation," which was formed from twenty-eight Lesser Divine Abilities? Could it be considered a top-tier Great Divine Ability? He wasn't sure. To determine if it truly belonged to the elite class of Great Divine Abilities, he would have to test it personally.
With that thought, Lin Fei took a step and exited the Divine Ability Tower.
"Whoosh."
Lin Fei found a mountain range. Given his speed, it took merely the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to get away from the Xiao family and arrive at these mountains.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
"Hum."
Behind Lin Fei, his Life Wheel emerged. Instantly, four layers of radiance shone brightly. He could distinctly feel the power of the Life Wheel continually modifying his physique, making the deeper layers of his body seem as if they were undergoing a slow metamorphosis. The four Divine Abilities served as a protective barrier, shielding his body.
Naturally, these Divine Abilities had long integrated into him, becoming one with his flesh. This was the embodiment of harnessing power within oneself. No matter when, a Martial Sovereign's Divine Ability can always be invoked, without overly depending on external circumstances. In this respect, it is indeed much superior to a Golden Core True Person.
Gazing at the lush forest below, Lin Fei took a deep breath.
"Divine Ability, Annihilation!"
With a mere thought, the fourth Divine Ability, "Annihilation," was instantly unleashed.
"Boom."
As soon as Lin Fei deployed the Divine Ability Annihilation, the mountain range below crumbled immediately as if the sky and earth were breaking apart. Massive cracks appeared on the ground as if torn apart by some formidable force. The flora gradually withered and eventually turned into dust, completely vanishing. The entire mountain range was transformed, looking like a barren desert. Such a feat could only be described as earth-shattering.
"Is this the power of the Annihilation Divine Ability?"
Lin Fei was deeply shocked.
The Annihilation embodies two types of power: the Power of Breakage and the Power of Destruction. The former signifies disruption and fragmentation, while the latter represents annihilation and obliteration.
Hence, Lin Fei's Divine Ability is a force that can shatter anything and everything. With a single strike, it's pure, unadulterated power. The terrifying might, akin to earth-shattering quakes and overwhelming tsunamis, truly showcases the frightening capability of a "Divine Ability."
"Amazing! Based solely on sheer power, the 'Annihilation' Divine Ability is probably the most potent among my four Great Divine Abilities. Once the 'Annihilation' Divine Ability is used, it truly causes earth-shattering chaos, with mountains crumbling and oceans roaring, akin to an apocalypse."
Lin Fei's emotions surged with excitement. It seemed his initial speculation was correct. The merging of the twenty-eight Lesser Divine Abilities had formed the "Annihilation" Divine Ability, which had reached its zenith. It was truly a top-tier Divine Ability.
Moreover, the core philosophy behind all twenty-eight Divine Abilities was the same - a force that could shatter anything. This made the "Annihilation" Divine Ability immensely powerful.
"If I combine the four Divine Abilities with the Saber Domain," Lin Fei contemplated, "My Transcendence Saber Domain would be on par with at least three top-tier Great Divine Abilities. Does this mean I now possess the power equivalent to seven top-tier Great Divine Abilities as a Martial Sovereign?"
The thought was almost inconceivable. A Martial Sovereign with seven top-tier Great Divine Abilities—how formidable would that be? Even among those with the bloodline of Martial Kings, very few awakened Divine Abilities are top-tier. Most only possess one or maybe two such abilities.
The distinction between Great Divine Abilities and top-tier Great Divine Abilities lies in whether they have reached the ultimate extent of power. For instance, the Gravity Domain epitomizes the peak of gravitational force.
Similarly, the Annihilation Divine Ability represents power at its most potent, capable of shattering any force. Therefore, every top-tier Great Divine Ability is terrifying in its might but also exceptionally challenging to cultivate. Even those gifted as Martial Kings find it remarkable to master just one or two of these top-tier abilities.
And Lin Fei? He now had four top-tier Great Divine Abilities and the Transcendence Saber Domain, almost equivalent to seven top-tier abilities! With such prowess, even a Martial Sovereign with the usual eight Great Divine Abilities might not be his match. Unbeknownst to many, Lin Fei had ascended to the pinnacle of Martial Sovereigns, truly among the elite.
However, the vast Ancient Continent was teeming with emerging talents. There would certainly be those who merged nine top-tier Great Divine Abilities to give birth to the Martial King bloodline. There might also be Martial Sovereigns who have mastered the Saber Domain, Sword Domain, or even several martial domains. Although Lin Fei had not encountered them, he was certain they existed. Therefore, in the grand scheme of things, his achievements might not be that extraordinary.
The issue was, how could he further enhance the "Annihilation" Divine Ability? It's a bit troublesome, especially since the "Annihilation" Divine Ability, born from the fusion of twenty-eight abilities, was still at a beginner level. How should he elevate it? Lin Fei was momentarily at a loss.
"I should return to the Xiao family first," he decided, casting aside his deep thoughts. Transforming into a streak of light, he headed back to the Xiao family's residence.
