"What did you say? Lin Fei used illusions to slay Flying Moon True Person and True Person Moke?"
The news was met with disbelief.
"Absolutely true! Lin Fei, the Martial God, is suspected of possessing a mind-control technique similar to Shen's, capable of compelling Deity Transformation powerhouses to commit suicide. Once they do, no number of avatars can save them."
"Lin Fei's own strength is already immensely formidable, with his Saber World, and now with illusions, he's even more challenging than the former Yuanxie True Person."
"It seems no one but a True Monarch could possibly stand against Lin Fei now."
"Slaying Deity Transformation cultivators, it's terrifying."
"It looks like the world's origin of the Heavenly Principle Realm will truly belong to Lin Fei alone..."
The news of Lin Fei slaying Flying Moon True Person and True Person Moke spread rapidly. Many Deity Transformation powerhouses in the Heavenly Principle Realm tightened up upon hearing this. No longer did they speak arrogantly; instead, they became cautious in their words and actions. In fact, some Deity Transformations even began to withdraw their avatars slowly. They were not afraid of Lin Fei before because they knew he couldn't slay them.
But now? Lin Fei could not only kill them but also silently compel them to commit suicide. This method was terrifying to even contemplate. Having numerous avatars was no longer a surefire way to stay alive. No one wanted to offend a Martial God capable of making Deity Transformations truly perish.
Thus, when Lin Fei moved to his next target, the third Deity Transformation True Person, he found their residence deserted.
"Gone?" Lin Fei was slightly surprised. Although he had intentionally slowed down after slaying Flying Moon True Person, wanting the news to spread and the Deity Transformation powerhouses to leave voluntarily, his method had proven effective. A large number of Deity Transformation powerhouses had indeed left.
"Boom!"
Just then, a rift appeared in the void of the Heavenly Principle Realm. The Heavenly Principle Realm was collapsing, and strands of the world's origin began to emerge.
However, by this time, nearly all Deity Transformations had already left the realm. At the entrance between the Divine Realm and the Heavenly Principle Realm, many gazed at the collapse and the emerging world's origin, their eyes filled with greed and regret.
After all, some had spent thousands of years establishing their power in the Heavenly Principle Realm, and now, due to Lin Fei's threat, they were forced to retreat. The sight of the world's origin appearing only deepened their unwillingness to leave.
Yet, none dared to step back into the Heavenly Principle Realm. The caution in their eyes was palpable, deterred by the examples of True Person Moke and Flying Moon True Person. Who would dare risk returning to the Heavenly Principle Realm? Life, after all, was more precious than the world's origin.

In an instant, as the world collapsed, a white radiance covered eighty percent of the Heavenly Principle Realm. That was Lin Fei's Saber World. People watched closely, curious about how Lin Fei would harvest the world's origin.
Within the Saber World, Lin Fei looked up at the void, observing the disintegration of the realm and the seeping origin from every corner.
"Saber World, collect!" Lin Fei commanded, and his Saber World began to absorb the world's origin. Every bit within its reach was drawn into Lin Fei's control.
Even the remaining twenty percent of the realm wasn't neglected. Wherever the world's origin was sparse or vanishing, Lin Fei adjusted the Saber World to ensure it absorbed enough essence. Time passed—days went by.
The collapse of a minor world wasn't an overnight event; it required a lengthy duration. After a few days, feeling that most of the world's origin of the Heavenly Principle Realm was harvested, Lin Fei retracted his Saber World.
Continuing further might have accelerated the realm's collapse, potentially trapping him. The complete collapse of a minor world would unleash a terrifying destructive force, capable of instantaneously annihilating Martial Gods and Deity Transformations. Typically, when harvesting a world's origin, one only takes about eighty to ninety percent before hastily departing. Lin Fei followed this prudence.
"Leave," Lin Fei declared, taking a step forward.
"Swoosh."
In an instant, he had left the Heavenly Principle Realm and stood outside the passage between the two realms.
"Swish."
Suddenly, countless gazes fell upon him. Lin Fei was well accustomed to such intense scrutiny. After all, it wasn't his first time being the center of attention. Just like when he left the True Spirit Realm, he was the focus of numerous onlookers.
Of course, Lin Fei understood their interest in him stemmed from the world's origin he had just collected. As long as no one spoke up or tried to stop him, he wouldn't bother with them. However, this time seemed different.
"Martial God Lin, please wait," a voice called out just as Lin Fei prepared to leave.
"Hmm?" Lin Fei glanced around and spotted a Deity Transformation cultivator, merely a combat avatar. But Lin Fei didn't even bother to listen.
"Saber World!" Instantly, his Saber World swept out, enveloping the Deity Transformation powerhouse.
"Martial God Lin, stop..." The Deity Transformation figure was taken aback and tried to say something more, but it was futile. Lin Fei, without a word, had already activated the Saber World, bringing Shen's illusion into play.
"Ten Directions Heavenly Array!" The grand array activated, and the illusion descended. The Deity Transformation was instantly pulled into the illusion and struggled only briefly before succumbing completely.
"You are deeply sinful and unworthy to live," Lin Fei's calm voice resounded, piercing into the ears of the Deity Transformation. The figure seemed to struggle as if trying to wake from the illusion but to no avail. Soon, all struggles ceased.
"Bang." The Deity Transformation self-destructed. At the same time, his other avatars in the vicinity also exploded in unison.
He was dead.
A formidable Deity Transformation, not even given the chance to speak, died for merely obstructing Lin Fei's path. His fall was absolute. Witnessing this, countless powerhouses in the void fell silent. They knew of Lin Fei's ferocity and his decisive nature in killing, but they hadn't anticipated his ruthlessness to such an extent.
Was this a case of killing upon the slightest disagreement? More crucially, he had the power to slay a Deity Transformation so swiftly, a feat not even a True Monarch would dare claim to achieve in such a short span.
In fact, it was something a True Monarch genuinely couldn't accomplish. But Lin Fei had done it. Rumors had already circulated about Lin Fei slaying True Person Moke and Flying Moon True Person, attributed to his ability to control the minds of others and his terrifying illusory techniques.
Some were skeptical at first, but now, any doubts had vanished. This was more than mere illusion; it was almost divine in execution, surpassing Shen and even exceeding the Heart Demon Martial God. And crucially, Lin Fei's own strength was immense.
Who would dare to make a move against such a top-tier Martial God capable of slaying Deity Transformations? Who would dare to obstruct him?
"Anyone else?" Lin Fei's gaze swept across the crowd, his tone as cold as eternal ice, slowly asking the question.
