"Master!"
Jiang Tianyun's eyes were bloodshot as he suddenly charged forward.
Lin Fei naturally recognized Jiang Tianyun. However, he didn't show any mercy. Next, with a slight press of the Saber Domain, a saber light instantly slew Jiang Tianyun.
A mere martial saint. Lin Fei didn't even need to use his Divine Ability.
Jiang Tianyun was dead.
Everyone in the Illusion Worry City was silent, daring not to move. They all knew too well that the Illusion Worry City was finished. After all, the city had always been sustained by the two city lords. Once both lords were dead, what advantage would the Illusion Worry City have?
Originally, they were confident in the city's two lords to protect Illusion Worry City. But now, they looked at Lin Fei with complicated expressions. It was Lin Fei again. He single-handedly killed the two city lords. Almost single-handedly destroyed the Illusion Worry City.
Lin Fei glanced at the people inside the Illusion Worry City. Step by step, he floated above the city.
"In one hour, I will destroy Illusion Worry City completely. If you don't leave, you can be buried with Illusion Worry City."
Lin Fei never intended to kill everyone in the Illusion Worry City. These people, after all, weren't the same as those from the Profound Light Cave Heaven. Those from the Profound Light Cave Heaven were all accomplices of Xuanwu. None of them were innocent.
Lin Fei could wipe out the Profound Light Cave Heaven without any qualms. But in the Illusion Worry City, while there were many evildoers, many were independent cultivators.
Lin Fei wasn't a bloodthirsty person. Thus, he gave them an hour. Enough time for them to leave.
As Lin Fei's words fell, the whole Illusion Worry City plunged into chaos. One hour! They only had one hour!
Some shrewd individuals quickly left the Illusion Worry City. Yet, some greedy ones were trying to grab some treasures from the city in the chaos, hoping to steal some valuables amidst the turmoil.
Lin Fei paid them no mind. He would wait for an hour. After an hour, he would use his Annihilation Divine Ability to completely obliterate the entire Illusion Worry City. He believed that this would significantly enhance his cultivation progress for the Annihilation Divine Ability.
Time ticked away. Soon, the hour had passed.
Nobody dared to linger for the full hour. Essentially, they all left the Illusion Worry City even before the hour was up. Some were reluctant to part, not moving too far away. They wanted a final look at the Illusion Worry City.
A resonating hum echoed. The very next instant, a massive Life Wheel materialized behind Lin Fei. Radiance shimmered from four layers of the Life Wheel, the fourth layer shining the brightest.
"Divine Ability, Annihilation!"
With a resounding boom, Lin Fei's powerful Divine Ability, Annihilation, erupted within Illusion Worry City. Instantly, the entire city crumbled and vanished. No matter how solid or valuable anything was—majestic walls, massive stones—all yielded before the power of the Annihilation Divine Ability.

Everyone felt their spirits tremble. They gazed down at the once-prosperous Illusion Worry City, which was crumbling and disappearing before their very eyes. In a mere moment, the bustling city had vanished, leaving behind only ruins. No traces remained of the once magnificent metropolis.
"Your Annihilation Divine Ability has obliterated a prosperous and sturdy city, grasping the concept of Annihilation completely."
"Your Annihilation Divine Ability got an enlightenment."
"Your Annihilation Divine Ability practice progress has reached 100%."
"Your Annihilation Divine Ability is now perfected."
With the destruction of Illusion Worry City by his Annihilation Divine Ability, Lin Fei heard these successive announcements in his mind. His Annihilation Divine Ability was perfected, just as he had anticipated.
Anything annihilated furthered the progress of his Annihilation Divine Ability. Having obliterated both Profound Light Cave Heaven and the vast Illusion Worry City, he transformed prosperity into ruins, grasping the very essence of annihilation.
All four of Lin Fei's top-tier Divine Abilities had reached perfection. Perhaps it was time to start cultivating his fifth Divine Ability.
"Let's go."
Lin Fei didn't linger. He turned into a streak of light, heading back to the Ancient Origin Sect. The residents of Illusion Worry City could only stare blankly at the ruins, their expressions complex. The city, which had stood for centuries, was no more. They now truly understood the implications of the wars between sects like the Ancient Origin Sect, Red Hades Mansion, and Taiyi Dao Palace. As the saying goes, no egg remains unbroken when the nest is overturned.
"No matter, let's leave this place of conflict. The Ancient Continent is vast after all..."
Many sighed deeply and began to depart.
As Lin Fei returned to the Ancient Origin Sect, he happened upon Wind Sovereign and the Ancient Origin Sect's sect master, who seemed to be searching for him.
"Sovereign Lin," began the sect master, "You weren't in your cave earlier. Where had you gone?"
"I paid a visit to Illusion Worry City."
"Illusion Worry City?"
"Yes, I took care of Illusion Heart True Person and Worry-free Sovereign. I then destroyed Illusion Worry City."
The Ancient Origin Sect Master and Wind Sovereign exchanged glances. Was Lin Fei, residing peacefully in the Ancient Origin Sect, actually taking time out to obliterate Illusion Worry City?
While they were unsure of Lin Fei's motives, they didn't particularly care for Illusion Worry City either. Eliminating potential threats before the upcoming battle with Taiyi Dao Palace seemed like a wise move.
"Sect Master, Wind Sovereign, did you seek me out for a particular matter?" Lin Fei inquired.
The Ancient Origin Sect Master responded gravely, "Indeed, there's a matter of concern. Recently, Taiyi Dao Palace has been unnaturally quiet. Their silence is unsettling especially after you annihilated Profound Light Cave Heaven and executed several of Taiyi Dao Palace's Golden Core True Persons. This very silence is abnormal.
Thus, we've come to caution Sovereign Lin. The most formidable weapon, or power, that you must be wary of from Taiyi Dao Palace is the 'Great Mountain Divine Seal.' Although it's unlikely Taiyi Dao Palace would deploy it recklessly, it's their mightiest magic treasure. Crafted personally by a Nascent Soul Great Being within Taiyi Dao Palace, its might is boundless. Sovereign Lin, you must exercise utmost caution."
Lin Fei nodded slightly. The Great Mountain Divine Seal! He had certainly heard of it. This was the very foundation of Taiyi Dao Palace. A Nascent Soul magic treasure. Such treasures possessed earth-shattering power, typically used to suppress the entire sect. It would be highly improbable for it to be taken outside, for any damage to it would harm the foundation of Taiyi Dao Palace itself.
But what if on the off chance that Taiyi Dao Palace decided to deploy the Great Mountain Divine Seal? With Lin Fei's current prowess, encompassing his four top-tier Great Divine Abilities and his Transcendence Saber Domain, it was still uncertain if he could contend against the Great Mountain Divine Seal. If trapped, he might be suppressed.
The Ancient Origin Sect Master's warning probably intended to prompt Lin Fei to strategize a defense against the potential deployment of the Great Mountain Divine Seal.
"I understand," Lin Fei acknowledged. "I'll visit the Martial Tower."
With that, Lin Fei transformed into a streak of light, heading towards the Martial Tower of the Ancient Origin Sect.
