"Martial King!" Lin Fei murmured in a low voice, finally attaining the status of Martial King. The transition from Martial Sovereign to Martial King was arguably the hardest step in Lin Fei's long journey of martial arts cultivation. He practiced various Divine Abilities, merging them one after another, step by step, until he reached this day.

Once one attains the status of Martial King, they gain a lifespan of ten thousand years. On this path of cultivation, Lin Fei could finally relax a bit. A lifespan of ten thousand years was incredibly long.

Moreover, at this moment, Lin Fei's Martial King bloodline could also be passed down to his descendants. But of course, this was provided he had descendants.

However, Lin Fei's bloodline was no ordinary one. Even if Lin Fei wanted to have children in the future, his partner wouldn't just be any regular person with a weak physique. At the very least, she would need to be a Martial Sovereign, if not a Martial King.

If two Martial Kings were to unite, their offspring might even naturally inherit both bloodlines. The probability of awakening such powerful bloodlines would then significantly increase, offering their descendants more opportunities to "choose". Of course, talk of descendants was still a distant matter for now.

Having achieved the status of Martial King in the Ancient Continent, Lin Fei was now considered a dominant power. He could establish a Martial King dynasty or even create a sect rivaling those of the Nascent Soul tradition.

Every time a Martial King emerges in the Ancient Continent, it is deemed an earth-shattering event. Usually, when a Martial King is born, celestial phenomena would manifest. However, since Lin Fei was inside the Dubhe Dao Artifact when he achieved this status, the outside world was unaware of this change.

"It's time to leave," Lin Fei thought, and in one step, he exited the Dubhe Dao Artifact.

"Swoosh."

Lin Fei reappeared in front of the Azure Flood Dragon King, who was suffering every moment, feeling as if every day was a year. Now, with hope in sight, it felt even more torturous. Suddenly, upon seeing Lin Fei, the Azure Flood Dragon King widened its eyes in disbelief.

"Master of Dubhe, have you... have you cultivated the Martial King bloodline and attained the title of Martial King?" The Azure Flood Dragon King seemed like it couldn't trust its own eyes, even though it had been hoping for Lin Fei's success.

"Indeed, thanks to half of your bloodline, I have achieved my desire and cultivated the Martial King bloodline, attaining the title of Martial King," Lin Fei nodded, confirming the truth.

"Boom!"

The Azure Flood Dragon King's body struggled intensely. The grand array in which it was imprisoned trembled violently. Chains tightened even more around the Azure Flood Dragon King.

"It really worked? Hahaha, does this mean I have hope of being freed?" The Azure Flood Dragon King felt a surge of elation. It had been waiting for this day for an incredibly long time. It had started to believe that it might never be freed in its lifetime. Who would have thought Lin Fei could attain the title of Martial King? And with the integration of its bloodline at that? Now, there was hope of its release!

"Master of Dubhe, quickly break the array and let me out!" The Azure Flood Dragon King said, its impatience palpable.

Lin Fei observed the chains surrounding the Azure Flood Dragon King. He then threw a punch directly at them. It was a casual punch, but its power was far more terrifying than when Lin Fei previously unleashed his six Divine Abilities combined. Such was the might of the Martial King. Every action was as potent as a full release of all his Divine Abilities.

Moreover, this punch didn't just incorporate six top-tier Divine Abilities. It had also merged with the bloodline of the Azure Flood Dragon King. Essentially, the punch was equivalent to the force of eleven top-tier Great Divine Abilities. Its terror was unmatched. Even without invoking the power of his bloodline, Lin Fei's punch was far more powerful than those of average Martial Kings.

His rise to Martial King was exceptional, equivalent to achieving the status with the might of eleven top-tier Divine Abilities, whereas even the most potent Martial Kings generally have nine Divine Abilities. And Lin Fei's were all of the highest tier. So, even a casual punch from him was stronger than the full-force punches of some Martial Kings.

"Boom!"

The punch finally hit the chains. They vibrated madly. Even the Azure Flood Dragon King shuddered, its face showing signs of pain. But after all the shaking, the chains didn't break and eventually returned to their original state.

"They didn't break?" Lin Fei's eyes sparkled with a hint of surprise.

From hope to despair, the Azure Flood Dragon King sighed, "Qing Yuzi is a demi-Deity Transformation cultivator. The formation he set up is exceptional, especially since he adjusted it before leaving. A typical Martial King's power cannot breach this grand formation."

Lin Fei didn't attempt again. If one punch couldn't break the formation, then even a hundred punches would likely yield the same result. The formation constantly regenerated and could recover endlessly. To break the formation, one would need to shatter it with a single, overwhelming strike!

Yet, that was merely a casual strike from Lin Fei. Being a Martial King, Lin Fei well understood the pinnacle of a Martial King's strength. It was their bloodline!

The ultimate strength of a Martial King lay in the Martial King's bloodline. Once this bloodline was activated, the True Form of the Martial King would be revealed. This was the fundamental reason for the Martial Kings to possess such earth-shattering powers.

With the emergence of a True Martial King Form, the heavens quaked and the earth rumbled.

A low hum resonated.

The next moment, a massive phantom emerged behind Lin Fei. Martial King Phantom! To some extent, this phantom was a projection of the True Martial King Form.

Lin Fei closed his eyes, feeling the Martial King Bloodline coursing within him. The bloodline had already seeped into his very particles. Thus, upon activation of the Martial King bloodline, he would unleash the power at a particle level.

There was no real need for Lin Fei to sense this bloodline, for it already resided within him, omnipresent, seamlessly merged with his physical form.

With a deafening roar, Lin Fei activated his Martial King bloodline. Instantly, an overwhelming aura surged towards the heavens. His body began to expand uncontrollably.

Although the underground space was vast, its height was but a mere thousand meters. Consequently, Lin Fei's body swelled to a towering thousand meters, morphing him into a colossal giant.

Lurking on the giant's back and shoulders, one could faintly discern a Flood Dragon, bearing some resemblance to the Azure Flood Dragon King. This implied that Lin Fei's bloodline contained the essence of the Azure Flood Dragon King.

Beyond that, an ethereal saber manifested in Lin Fei's grasp. Neither gold nor jade, this saber was formed from Lin Fei's very bloodline. Within it, one could vaguely sense countless saber techniques, all that Lin Fei had ever practiced, including the Dual-World Saber Divine Ability, seemingly constituting this single saber. It signified that Lin Fei's bloodline had integrated the way of the saber.

Lin Fei's muscles bulged impressively, his skin adorned with intricate and mysterious glyphs, each symbolizing a unique power. These countless symbols collectively represented the True Martial King Form.

Upon achieving the status of Martial King and cultivating the Martial King bloodline, every power Lin Fei had ever mastered merged into his bloodline. If he were to manifest his true form by activating this bloodline, each of these powers would distinctly manifest upon it, like the Flood Dragon on his shoulder or the saber in his hand.

At this moment, Lin Fei felt an unparalleled, world-shaking power. The True Form was the Martial King's ultimate weapon.

Witnessing Lin Fei's True Martial King Form, the Azure Flood Dragon King trembled uncontrollably, completely overawed by Lin Fei. This was an intimidation rooted in bloodlines. No matter how powerful the dragon was, it was suppressed by Lin Fei's bloodline.

Yet, a hint of excitement shimmered within the Azure Flood Dragon King. Lin Fei's true power was beyond imagination, incomparable to any regular Martial King. After all, Lin Fei's bloodline was a culmination of eleven top-tier Great Divine Abilities, surpassing any other Martial King.

"Strike!"

The next moment, Lin Fei's true form, gripping the divine saber, fiercely slashed at the countless chains binding the Azure Flood Dragon King. This strike was earth-shattering, tearing the very fabric of the void. As the saber descended, the chains radiated a blinding light, seemingly sensing the impending doom, as the formation began to operate at its pinnacle.
