The Nascent Soul Magic Avatar of Distant Cloud Taoist Lord was destroyed and completely turned into ash. This development shocked both him and the remaining Nascent Soul cultivator. The Distant Cloud Taoist Lord, a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator, was regarded as invincible. Who could possibly destroy it?

"How could this be?" exclaimed one of the disciples. "Master, your Magic Avatar is destroyed!"

Distant Cloud Taoist Lord, realizing the gravity of the situation, quickly ordered, "Leave!" He led the remaining Nascent Soul cultivator and they immediately employed escape techniques to flee. Without the protection of his Nascent Soul Magic Avatar, how could he confront Lin Fei? Staying would only lead to certain death.

Both Nascent Soul cultivators initiated their escape techniques, but Lin Fei sneered, "Think you can escape?"

Previously, without the aid of the Saber World, Lin Fei would find it challenging to catch up with the fleeing Nascent Soul cultivators.

But now, things had changed. Evoking the "Grand Yin Wind," a gust swiftly rose. Lin Fei's True Form merged into this wind, becoming one with it. Given that wind permeated everywhere, especially in the void, this technique was akin to, if not more powerful than, traditional wind escape techniques.

Lin Fei's speed was no less impressive than the Nascent Soul cultivators. As he neared them, he unleashed the power of his Annihilation Frost Bloodline, instantly freezing a large portion of the void around them. This freezing effect also halted the escape techniques of the two Nascent Soul cultivators, rendering them immobile.

Instead of wielding his heavenly saber, Lin Fei chose to project a myriad of saber lights. The sky was filled with these saber rays, and within each ray lurked the Triple Yin True Fire.

As these rays descended upon the Nascent Soul cultivators, they not only faced the sharpness of the saber lights but also the burning pain from the Triple Yin True Fire. Without the protection of their Nascent Soul Magic Avatars or with weaker versions of it, how could they resist?

Furthermore, at this moment, they were still immobilized by Lin Fei's ice.

"Ancient Origin Saber King, do you intend to wipe us out completely?" Distant Cloud Taoist Lord roared in anger.

Lin Fei merely cast an indifferent glance at the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord. With the entirety of the Vast Void Immortal Sect having already been mobilized against him, how could he possibly show mercy now?

"Ahh..."

Countless saber lights descended upon both the Nascent Soul Magic Avatar and the Nascent Soul of Distant Cloud Taoist Lord. Although the other Nascent Soul cultivator had a Magic Avatar, it was just an ordinary one. It couldn't fend off the overwhelming saber lights and the Triple Yin True Fire.

As for Distant Cloud Taoist Lord, even though he was a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator, having lost his Nascent Soul Magic Avatar, he could only rely on some minor spells. These defenses were practically negligible against Lin Fei's onslaught, especially since Lin Fei prioritized targeting him.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

"Heavenly Thunder!"

Suddenly, the void was filled with descending bolts of lightning. Though not particularly massive, the bolts were numerous and dense, striking down like a vast net.

"Ahh..."

The Nascent Soul cultivator's Magic Avatar couldn't withstand it any longer and disintegrated immediately. Amidst the Triple Yin True Fire, the heavenly thunder, and the saber lights, he was turned to ashes.

Dead!

The third Nascent Soul had fallen. In a moment, of the four Nascent Souls from the Vast Void Immortal Sect, only Distant Cloud Taoist Lord remained. And even he was now on the brink of annihilation.

"Ancient Origin Saber King, I won't let you have your way!" he shouted with hatred in his eyes, and commanded, "Explode!"

Without hesitation, Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's Nascent Soul detonated.

The explosion was earth-shattering, forcing even Lin Fei to retreat immediately. The void shattered, and in the aftermath of the Nascent Soul's self-destruction, everything within several miles was reduced to dust.

Distant Cloud Taoist Lord was no more.

The Nascent Soul Magic Avatar differs from the True Martial King Form. While a Nascent Soul Magic Avatar can be undying, capable of reforming after numerous deaths, the Nascent Soul itself is the very essence. Once the Nascent Soul is damaged, it signifies true death. Such self-destruction meant that there was no way for the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord to survive.

However, Lin Fei wasn't about to let things end there. Even though the four major Nascent Soul cultivators were dead, there was still the Vast Void Immortal Sect to deal with. He wouldn't spare them.

With no time to waste, Lin Fei merged into the wind, moving swiftly toward the Vast Void Immortal Sect, leaving behind a message for the Ancient Origin Sect leader: "I'm off to exterminate the Vast Void Immortal Sect, eliminating future threats."

And then, Lin Fei vanished without a trace.

In the Ancient Origin Sect, the Sect Master, Wind Sovereign, and the others exchanged glances, their hearts filled with astonishment. They had just witnessed a true battle. The four Nascent Soul cultivators had united against Lin Fei, yet they had all perished. The Nascent Soul-level forces of the Vast Void Immortal Sect were almost completely annihilated.

"Elder Lin is... truly incredible!"

"Yes, Distant Cloud Taoist Lord was a top-tier Nascent Soul Great Being who rarely met a match."

"And yet Elder Lin defeated all four Nascent Souls on his own, even forcing Distant Cloud Taoist Lord to self-destruct."

"Should we now consider Elder Lin the top Martial King?"

"To call him the number one Martial King might be an exaggeration, but he's certainly among the best."

"This victory needs to be proclaimed far and wide!"

"Yes, after this, our Ancient Origin Sect will be famous throughout the realms!"

The spirits of everyone in the Ancient Origin Sect were lifted. With this victory, their sect was poised to become one of the top Martial King sects, even surpassing the Vast Void Immortal Sect in reputation.

Meanwhile, at the Vast Void Immortal Sect, an inconspicuous gray light, which seemed to be a bead, silently entered, emitting no aura. The bead found its way into a secret chamber, and out from it emerged an apparition – it was Distant Cloud Taoist Lord! He was alive! But he appeared frail, seemingly on the verge of dispersion with the slightest gust of wind.

"Thankfully, I had once stumbled upon a mysterious technique called the 'Divided Spirit Method'. I managed to split a part of my true spirit, cultivating a second Nascent Soul. Originally, it was meant for my attempt to break through to the Deity Transformation stage. But now, I've had to use it to save my life," he thought.

His secondary Nascent Soul was unstable and couldn't exist independently. Now, he needed a new host. He began recalling the best disciples within the Vast Void Immortal Sect. He was making a choice, deciding which disciple to take over.

"It'll be you," he decided, focusing on the number one disciple of the Vast Void Immortal Sect, Ethereal True Person. Despite her being a female, the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord decided to choose her due to her exceptional talents. If he wanted to regain his former power or even surpass it, he would need to take over Ethereal True Person's body.
