"True Monarch!" Lin Fei's voice was cold as he spoke, "May I know which True Monarch graces us with their presence?"

"I am Purple Paradise True Monarch," the figure in the green robe replied.

"Purple Paradise True Monarch!" Lin Fei didn't recognize the name, but some of the Deity Transformation powerhouses around him reacted with shock and recognition. Clearly, they were familiar with Purple Paradise True Monarch's identity.

"It's really Purple Paradise True Monarch from the Nine Dragons Heaven, personally taking action!"

"Who managed to persuade Purple Paradise True Monarch to dispatch an avatar to slay Lin Fei?"

"The True Monarch personally steps in, showing no fear of the Great Dream Sect. This time, Lin Fei may not escape his fate."

"Hmph, Lin Fei was too domineering and offended many. Even if he survives this time, another True Monarch is bound to take action against him."

"Now that Lin Fei might be killed, do we have a chance to contend for the world origins he's collected?"

The crowd was abuzz with excitement, almost wishing for Purple Paradise True Monarch to immediately strike down Lin Fei, opening up their chance to vie for the world origins.

"Purple Paradise True Monarch," Lin Fei said, unfazed, "whoever has asked for your intervention, I won't inquire. But I do have a question. Aren't you afraid that failing to kill me might keep you up at night?"

Purple Paradise True Monarch's expression turned cold, and chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes. He scoffed, "Lin Fei, you as a Martial God, being able to slay Deity Transformation powerhouses is indeed impressive. But no matter how strong you are, you're still just a Martial God. For me, a True Monarch, slaying a mere Martial God like you is effortless. It seems you truly believe that a Martial God can contend with a True Monarch. Even as the Number One Martial God, you're insignificant in the face of a True Monarch!"

Purple Paradise True Monarch was taken aback by Lin Fei's audacity. Even in this critical moment, Lin Fei dared to threaten him. He, a distinguished True Monarch renowned throughout the Nine Dragons Heaven and formidable even among his peers, had already given Lin Fei considerable attention by sending his battle avatar to slay him. He could have sent several ordinary avatars, but he chose to confront Lin Fei personally.

Initially, Purple Paradise True Monarch had admired Lin Fei's achievements. As a mere Martial God, Lin Fei had managed to intimidate numerous Deity Transformations and Martial Gods and dominate entire minor worlds. His talent was indeed exceptional. However, Lin Fei's boldness to threaten him was a step too far, and Purple Paradise True Monarch resolved not to hold back – Lin Fei must be eliminated.

"Many have sought to kill me," Lin Fei declared with confidence. "Today, I wish to see if you truly have the ability to do so."

Standing with his hands behind his back, Lin Fei exuded an infinite desire for battle, his gaze lofty and commanding. At the sound of his words, those around them were struck with awe and fear. Lin Fei, a Martial God, dared to openly challenge a True Monarch, showing no fear in the face of such overwhelming power.

"Such courage and composure truly make him deserving of the title 'Number One Martial God,'"

"Who else but Martial God Lin could remain so calm and fearless in the face of a True Monarch like Purple Paradise?"

"Even the infamous Initial Evil True Monarch might not compare to Martial God Lin."

"What confidence does Martial God Lin have to stand against a True Monarch? For a Martial God, death is the end. Does Martial God Lin truly have something to rely on?"

The crowd buzzed with discussions, all eyes fixed on the impending confrontation between Lin Fei and Purple Paradise True Monarch. Purple Paradise True Monarch, a figure of great significance, had personally sought out Lin Fei, the Number One Martial God, known for his notorious feats. Even in the face of a True Monarch, Lin Fei remained defiant. Everyone was eager to see what strength or secret Lin Fei possessed to dare to stand against a Void Transformation True Monarch.

"Very well, Lin Fei," declared the Purple Paradise True Monarch with a cold expression. "Today, you leave me no choice but to eliminate you!"

Extending a hand towards Lin Fei, he made a grasping motion. Suddenly, Lin Fei felt an invisible force pressing and binding him, as if trying to crush his physical body into dust. This force was terrifyingly powerful, likely insurmountable even for Martial Gods who had weathered nine thunder tribulations.

However, Lin Fei was no ordinary Martial God. He was a Martial God at his limit, and even without the augmentation of Saber World, his physical body had reached the pinnacle of what a Martial God could achieve. Despite the strength of this compressive force, Lin Fei managed to withstand it.

"Your physical body is indeed strong, resisting even the spatial binding," observed the Purple Paradise True Monarch. "But if you think this is the extent of a True Monarch's power, you are gravely mistaken. A Void Transformation True Monarch, having comprehended the secrets of the void, can control it. Unless one can shatter the void, no one can withstand the spatial suppression. Be crushed by my power!"

With that, Purple Paradise True Monarch's hand pressed down fiercely towards Lin Fei. The void itself trembled under this motion, utilizing the power of the void—a force only a Void Transformation True Monarch could wield. Against such a force, Martial Gods and Deity Transformations stood no chance of resistance.

Now, Lin Fei seemed on the verge of being utterly obliterated by Purple Paradise True Monarch's palm. Spatial binding made evasion impossible, and the surrounding Martial Gods and Deity Transformations, feeling the terrifying power, were struck silent, their expressions grave.

They contemplated their own chances if they were in Lin Fei's position. Could they withstand such a strike from Purple Paradise True Monarch? However, their faces turned ashen. They knew they couldn't. Such a strike from a True Monarch surpassed the limits of a Martial God. No Martial God or Deity Transformation could withstand it.

Lin Fei was in grave danger.

"Boom!"

As Purple Paradise True Monarch unleashed his palm strike, Lin Fei's body, which had been quiet until now, erupted like a dormant volcano. A tremendous surge of violent energy burst forth, with all two thousand six hundred of his Particle Worlds unleashing their full power.

Simultaneously, Lin Fei's Martial God physique expanded massively, reaching a colossal height of ten thousand feet in the void, resembling a titan, emanating a terrifying pressure.

The next moment, Lin Fei counterattacked with a punch that collided fiercely with Purple Paradise True Monarch's palm. The clash unleashed a ripple of force, spreading rapidly in all directions like ripples in water, creating a devastating storm that ravaged the void.

Lin Fei's divine body indeed felt a tremendous force, annihilating up to thirty percent of his particles. However, that was the extent of it—Lin Fei did not fall. His colossal form stood resolutely in the void, his expression a mixture of pride and cold indifference as he gazed at Purple Paradise True Monarch.

For a moment, it was Purple Paradise True Monarch who seemed taken aback, his face struggling to maintain composure, his eyes betraying a flicker of shock. He had unleashed a strike worthy of a True Monarch, yet how could a mere Martial God withstand it?

It seemed impossible, yet the reality was undeniable: Lin Fei had resisted it. Moreover, the aura emanating from him was so strong that it seemed to suppress the very void around them, causing space itself to crack and heal intermittently.

Witnessing this, Purple Paradise True Monarch's pupils constricted slightly. This was the true limit of a Martial God—the critical point. Lin Fei's physical strength had reached the brink of shattering the void. Just a bit more power, and Lin Fei would be capable of shattering the void himself.
