Feng Ling's journey to divinity was grand and imposing. She made no attempt to conceal her process. Her True Martial King Form erupted instantly. Behind her, a massive phoenix shadow, the manifestation of her phoenix bloodline and the phoenix fire, could be vaguely seen. It resembled a fiery cloud, presenting a miraculous vision.
Many from the Feng family immediately understood what was happening. Even those who didn't know, upon seeing such a spectacle, could guess.
"Feng Ling is now challenging the realm of Martial Gods. It's uncertain if she will succeed."
"It's hard to say. Although Lin Fei Martial God recently achieved divinity, it was an exception."
"Moreover, Lin Fei Martial God's path of cultivation has been smooth sailing, never once failing. It's normal for him to create miracles."
"But Feng Ling, even among Martial Kings, is not the most exceptional. The phoenix bloodline in the Feng family seems advantageous."
"However, in reality, when it comes to achieving divinity, the phoenix bloodline might be a hindrance. After all, the Feng family has never produced a Martial God."
"Perhaps Lin Fei Martial God could offer some assistance to Feng Ling."
Many eyes turned toward Feng Ling and then glanced at Lin Fei. Indeed, Lin Fei was a newly achieved Martial God. He could at least provide some experiential guidance to Feng Ling. However, such help was limited, or else there would be more Martial Gods.
Feng Ling's nine bloodlines merged into one. After that, she remained motionless. Lin Fei suddenly looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly. He could see that only a single thread remained on Feng Ling. That was the path, or the law, chosen by Feng Ling.
Lin Fei continued to follow this thread with his senses. Soon, he sensed the blazing flames that seemed capable of burning everything. Indeed, Feng Ling had chosen the path of flame. She needed to comprehend the law of fire to achieve divinity.
However, this was a step that no one could assist Feng Ling with. She had to rely on herself. Lin Fei could only wait quietly. As time ticked by, the Sea of the Origin of Fire showed no signs of activity.
Lin Fei felt a chill in his heart. He knew well that the shorter the time taken in the process of divinity, the better. The longer it took, the more likely it was to encounter trouble. Taking too long could mean getting completely lost in the Sea of Origin.
However, Lin Fei was unable to assist Feng Ling. She had to comprehend the law of flames by herself to awaken fully.
After what felt like an eternity, Lin Fei grew increasingly anxious. Suddenly, the Sea of the Origin of Flames began to tremble. The sea churned subtly, and vast flames burned. A faint ripple of the law of flames could be discerned.
"Did she succeed?" Lin Fei immediately turned his gaze towards Feng Ling.
At that moment, Feng Ling abruptly opened her eyes. Their gazes met.
"Feng Ling, congratulations," Lin Fei said, a smile breaking across his face. He knew she had succeeded. She had achieved divinity and become a Martial God.

"Flame law…" Feng Ling was more aware than anyone. She had grasped the law of flames and, based on this, she began to reconstruct her divine body. This was a step every Martial God must undergo: the reforging of the divine body.
The flames roared fiercely. Feng Ling was like a phoenix reborn from fire. Her physical body burned to ashes, but with the flame law at its core, she reconstructed a new body - a divine body, the body of a god. At this moment, the life of Feng Ling was elevated to a whole new level, entirely different from ordinary beings.
"Lin Fei, at least I can accompany you for a hundred thousand years now!" she said, her eyes full of affection. "I won't let you be alone." The unspoken understanding between companionss was evident. To accompany one another, especially as Martial Gods, was vital. The inability to do so would be tragic.
With Feng Ling achieving Martial God status, it meant that she could accompany Lin Fei for a considerable time. A hundred thousand years was a significant duration. Lin Fei took Feng Ling's hand, and they descended from the void, arriving before the Feng family.
"Congratulations to the clan leader on becoming a deity!"
"Congratulations to the clan leader and Martial God Lin on becoming Martial God companions!"
The Feng family erupted in various congratulatory messages. For them, this was a double blessing. The shock of Lin Fei being a Martial God was immense, but now Feng Ling had also achieved Martial God status! This was a true phoenix bloodline, capable of extending the family's glory for a hundred thousand years.
Moreover, the Feng family pondered deeply. Lin Fei and Feng Ling had no children yet, but now that they were both Martial Gods, any offspring they might have would be extraordinarily powerful. Could it possibly lead to the birth of a third Martial God? The mere thought was exhilarating.
"This is indeed a cause for celebration," Feng Ling said calmly. "But let's not make a big fuss about it. We've just had a celebration for Lin Fei. Let's just spread the news."
Feng Ling, unconcerned with formalities, relaxed completely after achieving the status of a Martial God, fulfilling her initial aspiration. Bearing the hopes and expectations of the entire Feng family, she had now lived up to them all by becoming a Martial God.
As for what lay beyond the realm of Martial Gods, she did not think too far ahead. Just becoming a Martial God was fortunate enough. She decided to consider further cultivation later, aware that Lin Fei's talent far surpassed hers.
Lin Fei would undoubtedly continue steadfastly on the path beyond Martial Gods, and when a safe and convenient route was found, he would surely lead Feng Ling along with him. Her trust in Lin Fei was absolute!
"Feng Ling, I'll spend more time with you in the coming days," Lin Fei said, setting aside his own cultivation for the time being. As Dao companions, they had not yet had the chance to truly talk heart-to-heart and experience ordinary life together. Now, as both had achieved Martial God status, they finally had the time.
However, the news of Feng Ling becoming a Martial God quickly spread throughout the Ancient Continent. This was no minor gossip but a significant event.
Feng Ling, hailing from a Martial King family and achieving Martial God status, proved that the bloodline of a Martial King family was not an absolute shackle. It could be broken, and one could still become a Martial God.
Moreover, the relationship between Lin Fei and Feng Ling as Dao companions was unique, representing a pair of Martial Gods - a true "celestial couple."
While they were not yet at the level of Dao Integration True Immortals, the fact that both companions, coming from Martial King backgrounds, achieved divinity was extraordinarily rare. In no time, the names of Lin Fei and Feng Ling became widely known throughout the ancient lands.
In a dark rift that suddenly appeared in the void, a portal formed. A wisp of black mist flew out from the portal, which then vanished. The mist coalesced into a slender, handsome man in a black robe. He looked around, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and sighed, "Finally back. The Divine Realm is nice, but you can't just devour at will. The Ancient Continent is wonderful, full of life. Sneaking a little consumption here and there won't hurt. Hmm, let's start with this kingdom, a little appetizer."
The man in the black robe, his eyes revealing a hint of madness, transformed into a streak of black light and flew toward a distant human kingdom.
