432. Nine Nascent Soul Magic Avatars

"Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master, thank you for gracing the Feng family with your presence," said Feng Ling, floating in mid-air and gazing solemnly at the Daoist before him. "May I ask, what brings you here?"

Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master was no ordinary figure. He was the founder of the Heavenly Artifact Sect and had even developed a novel cultivation method that led directly to the Nascent Soul stage. It was rumored that he was on the brink of reaching the Deity Transformation stage.

However, what truly mattered was that he was in the "half-step Deity Transformation" stage, a term exclusive to immortal cultivators. Martial artists didn't have such a classification.

Those in half-step Deity Transformation had a great chance of achieving real Deity Transformation, and their strength was awe-inspiring. Thus, it was no wonder Feng Ling personally greeted him.

Yet from Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master's demeanor, it was clear his intentions were not friendly.

Staring deeply into Feng Ling's eyes, the Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master said in a low voice, "I've heard that you've acquired a bloodline magic treasure, the Heavenly Pillar Seal? I've come to borrow this Heavenly Pillar Seal in hopes of breaking through to the Deity Transformation stage."

"Borrow the Heavenly Pillar Seal?" Feng Ling's eyes narrowed. She now understood Heavenly Artifact's true motive. He wasn't here to borrow; he was here to claim the seal for himself!

Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master, known for his deep cultivation and rare public appearances, had come out this time solely for the Heavenly Pillar Seal. It seemed this artifact was crucial for him, perhaps even a must-have.

But the Heavenly Pillar Seal was just as vital for Feng Ling. She wouldn't easily "lend" it, especially since doing so would likely mean never getting it back.

Resolutely, Feng Ling declined, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master. The Heavenly Pillar Seal is crucial to me as well. Therefore, I cannot lend it to you. Please understand and return."

Unafraid, Feng Ling faced Heavenly Artifact. After all, she wasn't alone. Moreover, the Heavenly Pillar Seal wasn't just for show. Even if Heavenly Artifact was at half-step Deity Transformation, Feng Ling's company was renowned as the prime Martial King of ancient times!

Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master's eyes flashed coldly upon hearing the rejection. "So, Feng Ling!" he exclaimed, "I politely asked, yet you disrespect me so. In that case, there's no need for niceties. The Heavenly Pillar Seal is essential for my ascension. Whether or not to give it is not your decision. It's mine!"

With a wave of his hand, Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master shouted, "Nascent Soul Magic Avatar!"

In an instant, one, two, three... a total of nine Nascent Soul Magic Avatars appeared out of thin air, radiating an overwhelming aura that filled the void.

The members of the Feng family watched with growing concern, but they had no opportunity to intervene. Engaging in such a high-level confrontation was beyond their capabilities.

"Phoenix Flame!"

Feng Ling wasn't merely reliant on magic treasures. She herself was a top-tier Martial King, and within her flowed the bloodline of the Phoenix. Thus, the Phoenix Flame roared to life, turning the void into a blazing red hue. The Phoenix Flame, known to incinerate anything in its path, raged with a force that shook the heavens.

However, when faced with three top-tier Nascent Soul Magic Avatars, each protected by magic treasures, the raging Phoenix Flame couldn't fully shield Feng Ling. One of the Nascent Soul Magic Avatars broke through the Phoenix Flame barrier and struck her directly.

"Thud."

Feng Ling staggered, and then, with a straight plunge, she crashed into the ground, creating a large crater. With just one hit, she felt like one percent of her physical body was obliterated. And that was no small fraction. If she had been hit by two, three, or even more of these Magic Avatars, how long could she hold on?

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

The three Nascent Soul Magic Avatars of Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master descended again. Feng Ling couldn't evade; if she did, the Feng family behind her might be obliterated. With determination, she unleashed the power of all nine of her bloodlines to resist the three avatars of the Heavenly Artifact.

"Thud."

Another muffled sound echoed as the three Nascent Souls from various directions assailed Feng Ling.

"Weak, truly weak!" Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master taunted. "Feng Ling, are you still a top-tier Martial King? With nine bloodlines, this is all you can muster?"

Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master seemed somewhat "disappointed". Apart from the Heavenly Pillar Seal, he found Feng Ling to be almost defenseless. If all top-tier Martial Kings were of this caliber, Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master felt he had overestimated them for far too long.

"If you won't hand over the Heavenly Pillar Seal," Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master declared coldly, "then perish!"

The three Nascent Soul Magic Avatars of Heavenly Artifact subtly formed a formation, entrapping Feng Ling within. A foreboding aura of impending doom enveloped her.
