498. North Wind True Person in Dire Straits

In the True Spirit Realm, North Wind True Person also known as Great Emperor North Wind, was a title bestowed upon the pinnacle god-level powerhouses in the True Spirit Realm.

In the True Spirit Realm, cultivation revolved around the True Spirit. Possession of a True Spirit was essential for cultivation. These True Spirits might be hidden within the flesh and blood of the body, or perhaps within the soul. Upon the awakening of the True Spirit, the speed of cultivation would skyrocket, advancing by leaps and bounds.

However, for the native beings of the True Spirit Realm, reaching the levels of Martial King or Nascent Soul was already remarkable. They were also referred to as Emperors! Whereas Martial Gods and Deity Transformation cultivators were the Great Emperors!

In reality, with the "extraterrestrial" gateway to the True Spirit Realm flung wide open, numerous "Great Emperors" descended, and the native forces were swiftly subdued.

The True Spirit Realm thus became a battleground for these Great Emperors, engulfed in constant warfare, leading to widespread devastation, with the sun and moon dimmed.

The True Spirit Realm was nearly shattered by the conflicts, which intensified rather than ceased. The natives of the True Spirit Realm were oblivious to the intentions of these "Great Emperors" – to break the True Spirit Realm!

Normally, it's difficult for god-level powerhouses to shatter a minor world. However, when these god-level beings constantly wage war and battle within a minor world, gradually depleting the world's energy, eventually, the minor world will collapse.

This was the ultimate goal of these god-level powerhouses. Only with the collapse of a minor world could they plunder its primal source. Otherwise, they could not seize it.

True Monarchs rarely intervened in minor worlds, as such worlds were too fragile for them. Should a True Monarch intervene, a minor world would disintegrate in an instant.

Moreover, the minor world would desperately burn its primal source to resist the True Monarch, rendering it impossible for the True Monarch to gain any benefit.

Over time, True Monarchs generally ceased to interfere with minor worlds. For True Monarchs, there were certainly other places to go. But for god-level powerhouses, minor worlds were their only means to acquire the primal source!

Upon entering the True Spirit Realm, North Wind True Person promptly established the North Wind Sect, becoming its Emperor.

Relying on his formidable strength and countless combat avatars, he led the North Wind Sect to nearly dominate a vast expanse of the True Spirit Realm.

However, the sudden emergence of numerous Great Emperors, attacking the North Wind Sect led to the severe depletion of North Wind True Person's combat avatars.

"Great Emperor, we can hardly hold on any longer!"

"Indeed, the number of opposing Great Emperors is overwhelming."

"Our North Wind Sect is on the brink of disintegration."

"Great Emperor, our only option is to consolidate our defenses."

Numerous followers were pleading with North Wind True Person. North Wind True Person remained expressionless. He gazed into the void as if seeing someone within it.

"Consolidate our defenses!"

North Wind True Person conceded. He had no choice but to shrink his defensive line. However, doing so meant that once the True Spirit Realm shattered, his share of the primal source would significantly reduce.

In the past, North Wind True Person would have been unyieldingly dominant, refusing to cede a single step. But now, he had to retreat. For an old rival had arrived.

"North Wind, you've been in the True Spirit Realm for many years. But what has it availed you? The moment I arrive, you have to retreat!"

Out of nowhere, an elder appeared in the void. His emergence seemed to warp the very fabric of space.

"Bloodthirsty, do you really think you have me cornered?"

The robe on North Wind True Person fluttered without any wind. Two formidable presences rose in the void, clashing and colliding against each other in a standoff.

"Hahaha, indeed, I do have you cornered! Rest assured, I will burst your avatars one by one. Let's see whether you have more avatars or I have more power to destroy them."

Bloodthirsty Martial God burst into a hearty laugh, confident in his victory over North Wind True Person!

North Wind True Person and Bloodthirsty Martial God had clashed more than once or twice, with each having their share of victories and defeats.

However, those were encounters where both exerted their full strength. But now, North Wind True Person needed his combat avatars to control the True Spirit Realm, which caused their dispersion.

Bloodthirsty Martial God, seizing the opportunity, shattered them one by one, leaving North Wind True Person helpless. If he retracted them, his years of effort in the True Spirit Realm would be rendered futile. Even if he did retract and confront Bloodthirsty with full force, he still couldn't overpower him.

If he didn't retract, he would watch as his avatars were successively destroyed by Bloodthirsty. Either way, North Wind True Person was at a disadvantage.

"Bloodthirsty, it's been years. You seem well," a new, unfamiliar voice echoed in the void. Following this, two streaks of light flew from afar, gradually revealing their figures.

"Hmm? Mi Tian? What, you also wish to meddle in the affairs of the True Spirit Realm?"

Bloodthirsty Martial God's eyes narrowed slightly as he noticed Heart Demon Martial God, becoming instantly alert. As for the Martial God beside Heart Demon Martial God, Bloodthirsty didn't pay much heed. But he had to be wary of Heart Demon Martial God.

Although Heart Demon Martial God's own realm and physical strength were not extraordinary, his mastery of illusion was truly transcendent, specifically targeting the vulnerabilities of the mind. Once trapped in his illusions, it was exceedingly difficult to awaken. Hence, Bloodthirsty's vigilance.

"Meddle?"

Heart Demon Martial God replied with a slight smile, "I am here by invitation, right, North Wind True Person?"

"Hmm? North Wind, I didn't expect you to ally with others."

Bloodthirsty Martial God expressed his surprise. North Wind True Person had always been a loner, seldom collaborating with anyone. It was unexpected that this time, he would join forces with Heart Demon Martial God.

North Wind True Person responded calmly, "Bloodthirsty, so only you are allowed to join forces with others, and I am forbidden from seeking help from Heart Demon Martial God? Mi Tian, Martial God Lin, your arrival is timely. This Bloodthirsty Martial God is an old rival of mine.

He plans to defeat my avatars one by one. Once my combat avatars can no longer control the entire True Spirit Realm, the share of the primal source we can acquire, once it collapses, will be minimal. Therefore, why not join forces now and eliminate Bloodthirsty Martial God in one fell swoop?"

A flicker of unusual light danced in North Wind True Person's eyes. He was genuinely eager to try. With the recent arrival of Lin Fei and Heart Demon Martial God, North Wind True Person was already planning to ally and eliminate a top-tier Martial God.

This development made Bloodthirsty Martial God somewhat nervous. Heart Demon Martial God was no ordinary figure. Coupled with North Wind True Person, he might not be able to withstand them. However, the notion of them defeating him seemed rather underestimating.

Just then, Lin Fei spoke up.

"Killing is trivial. But after the killing, how shall we divide the world's primal origin?"

As Lin Fei's words ended, the surroundings fell into a profound silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Even Heart Demon Martial God narrowed his eyes and remained silent, not objecting, which in itself indicated his stance.

North Wind True Person also glanced at Lin Fei. In fact, he hadn't invited Lin Fei; it was Heart Demon Martial God who had invited him. Even North Wind True Person was unaware of Lin Fei's true capabilities. He only knew that anyone valued by Heart Demon Martial God should not be underestimated.

But North Wind True Person had not expected that in their first meeting, Lin Fei would ask such a sharp and critical question, especially in the presence of a formidable enemy!
