Hanging Moon True Monarch was in trouble. He had underestimated Hundred Flowers True Monarch's strength and did not anticipate that she possessed a total of thirty thousand battle avatars.
Now, overwhelmed by this formidable force, Hanging Moon True Monarch was struggling to withstand the onslaught. Moreover, he couldn't retreat; he had to continue attracting and restraining these avatars.
Hundred Flowers True Monarch watched intently, relieved to see Hanging Moon True Monarch steadfastly holding his ground, not showing any signs of attempting to break through.
This was unusual behavior for Hanging Moon True Monarch, who in the past would flee at the first sign of danger, never engaging in prolonged battles. Why was he now so determined to fight to the death? This deviation from his usual pattern raised Hundred Flowers True Monarch's suspicions, but she couldn't quite pinpoint what was off.
"I can't hold on any longer..." Suddenly, Hanging Moon True Monarch gritted his teeth and yelled towards the outside of the hall.
"Is there someone else?" Hundred Flowers True Monarch's expression shifted slightly. She quickly realized what Hanging Moon True Monarch meant. Had he sought help? But which True Monarch would assist Hanging Moon True Monarch against Hundred Flowers True Monarch?
Hundred Flowers True Monarch, a formidable Ethereal True Monarch with millions of avatars, was nearly impossible to kill. Would the person aiding Hanging Moon True Monarch not fear her retaliation?
As these thoughts raced through Hundred Flowers True Monarch's mind, a figure suddenly emerged from the void. It was Lin Fei, who immediately spotted Hundred Flowers True Monarch.
"Saber World!"
Without hesitation, Lin Fei deployed his Saber World, integrating all fifty-two worldly laws, elevating it to the True Monarch level.
"Saber World" descended, not to suppress but to envelop the thirty thousand battle avatars of Hundred Flowers True Monarch. Trapping these avatars was Lin Fei's objective.
"Break!"
Hundred Flowers True Monarch, sensing the terrifying might of Saber World, realized she was cut off from the outside world. She understood that her thirty thousand battle avatars were at risk of being completely ensnared.
Refusing to let Hanging Moon True Monarch and Lin Fei succeed, Hundred Flowers True Monarch immediately commanded her avatars to attempt to break through Saber World and escape. If her battle avatars could flee, she would essentially be in an unassailable position.
However, Lin Fei's Saber World had evolved significantly. Now at the True Monarch level, especially after integrating nine worldly laws, its power had reached an almost unimaginable level. It was more than capable of containing the Ethereal True Monarch's battle avatars, even if there were thirty thousand of them.

"Boom!"
Lin Fei's Saber World vibrated intensely under the onslaught of thirty thousand battle avatars, each with the strength of a True Monarch. However, their collective assault only caused the Saber World to tremble; they were far from breaking through it. Witnessing this, Hundred Flowers True Monarch's expression darkened.
"Who are you?" she demanded coldly. "Are you not afraid of my retaliation for helping Hanging Moon? Can you even kill all my avatars?"
Hundred Flowers True Monarch eyed Lin Fei suspiciously, not recognizing him. Despite Lin Fei's growing reputation, not many had actually seen him, especially in the Yin-Yang Immortal Realm, far from the Ancient Covenant.
Lin Fei calmly studied Hundred Flowers True Monarch. "Do you remember Qing Yuzi?" he suddenly asked.
At the mention of Qing Yuzi, Hundred Flowers True Monarch's face drastically changed. "Qing Yuzi? How do you know about Qing Yuzi? Who are you?"
The mere mention of Qing Yuzi seemed to touch a nerve. Her eyes brimmed with lethal intent as if the name was her forbidden word.
"I am Lin Fei from the Ancient Covenant," Lin Fei replied nonchalantly.
"Ancient Covenant's Lin Fei? The one who withstood nine heavenly lightnings and is still undergoing tribulation?"
"Yes, that's me," Lin Fei confirmed. "I once received favors from Qing Yuzi. He died at your hands, and it's time to settle that blood debt today!"
Without further ado, Lin Fei launched a powerful punch towards Hundred Flowers True Monarch.
"Boom!"
Lin Fei unleashed the formidable power of his 5,300 Particle Worlds, creating a force as overwhelming as a surging torrent, crushing towards the battle avatars of Hundred Flowers True Monarch within the Saber World.
"Pfft" – it was an absolute overbearing suppression. The power of the 5,300 Particle Worlds was earth-shattering. Feeling just a hint of its aura, Hundred Flowers True Monarch realized her battle avatars couldn't withstand it. She was no match for this level of power.
Under Lin Fei's mighty strike, ten, a hundred, a thousand of Hundred Flowers True Monarch's battle avatars were obliterated.
"Saber World, suppress!"
Lin Fei activated the full power of his Saber World, further augmenting it with the might of the Particle Worlds. It was a one-sided slaughter. Hundred Flowers True Monarch's battle avatars stood no chance against such overwhelming force. Every avatar crushed by Lin Fei's fist instantly shattered into ashes.
Thus, Hundred Flowers True Monarch's battle avatars were rapidly vanishing at a visibly fast rate: one thousand, two thousand, three thousand... In a short span, Lin Fei had destroyed ten thousand of her thirty thousand battle avatars.
Witnessing this scene, Hanging Moon True Monarch was profoundly shocked. He now understood that Lin Fei's reputation was not unearned. Such strength placed Lin Fei among the very top echelons of True Monarchs.
"Hahaha, Hua Xiangzi, you too have met your day!" Hanging Moon True Monarch laughed uproariously. Meanwhile, Hundred Flowers True Monarch's complexion turned ashen. She knew she had been defeated, and it was a crushing defeat at that. In the face of Lin Fei, she was powerless, and her thirty thousand battle avatars were on the brink of being entirely annihilated.
Losing all these avatars would be catastrophic for her. Even as an Ethereal True Monarch, she wouldn't die, but losing her primary combat avatars meant she would no longer be a match for Hanging Moon True Monarch. He would be able to relentlessly pursue and whittle down her strength.
"Qing Yuzi deserved to die!" she ranted in a crazed tone. "If he had just given me all his treasures, none of this would have happened. And you, Hanging Moon, you deserved to die too! I regret not killing you completely back then, allowing you to become a True Monarch."
Hua Xiangzi was utterly hysterical, no longer the lofty Hundred Flowers True Monarch but a figure of manic desperation. However, her words did nothing to affect Lin Fei. Soon, Lin Fei completely obliterated all but one of her battle avatars.
"Hundred Flowers True Monarch, speak," Lin Fei said calmly, hands behind his back. "You were once Dao companions with Qing Yuzi and later with Hanging Moon True Monarch, yet you betrayed them both. Why did you do it?"
