800 years ago, 3000 dimensional gates opened across the entire world.

Chapter 961: Hat Mountain

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shi Qiang and the other two men were on imperial-level white gold-rank. Their combat strength exceeded Bloody's ability to cast its parasites on them.

However, it was no trouble for Lin Huang.

His God Figurine's Combat Soul Nightmare Tapir had a hypnotizing ability. Although the Nightmare Tapir's combat strength was only imperial-level white gold-rank, its ability was sufficient to control imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses.

As Bloody was attempting to retrieve the memories of the imperial-level powerhouses lying on the ground, Lin Huang began the hypnotizing interrogation on Shi Qiang and the other two.

"What's your name?"

"Shi Qiang."

"Why did you come to the Shadow Canyon?"

"To kill the candidates."

"Who told you about the candidates?"

"Ge Nan did."

"Who is Ge Nan? Why did you trust him?"

"Dynasty sent us into this prison on the same day. Maybe because we went through the same thing, we clicked as soon as we talked. We then became good friends. He's one of the very few people who I could talk to in this prison, and he's also one of the people with whom I could let my guard down."

After confirming that the hypnotization was working by asking what he already knew the answers to, Lin Huang then began cutting to the chase.

"I heard that you're close to Pang Bing, the regional chief here. Is that true?"

"We're not close. I've only seen him three times."

"Does Pang Bing value you?"

"Yes, he thinks that I can break through and he hopes to train me as his underling. He wants me to be the regional deputy chief after I break through imperial-level purple gold-rank and work for him."

"You should know where Pang Bing lives then."

"I do, I've been there once."

Lin Huang was pleased to hear that.

"Where exactly does Pang Bing live?"

"On top of Hat Mountain," Shi Qiang proceeded, "He doesn't live alone. He lives with his six wives. Two of them are on imperial-level white gold-rank while the remaining four are imperial-level yellow gold-ranks."

"What? Does he live such a happy life in prison?! Six wives?!" Lin Huang widened his eyes after hearing that.

"The regional chief is only a position surpassing the chief. The resources they obtain can't compare with ordinary imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses. These women must've gone to him for the resources. After all, resources are scarce in the Dynasty prison. They might not have food if they don't depend on a powerhouse." Bloody heard this and explained, "I'm sure that apart from the six of them in his harem, there are more women who desire to climb into his bed in this prison."

"What else do you know about Pang Bing?" Lin Huang returned to the topic after a moment of being astounded and proceeded with the interrogation.

"In reality, Pang Bing's ability is considered mediocre among the imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses. However, he has two demigod-level types of equipment with him. One is a defense armor while another is a battle saber. The reason he managed to be the regional chief is mainly because of these two items. Apart from that, I heard he's a relative of Chief Liang's and they were put into this prison together. Nobody knew how true that is."

After some interrogation, Lin Huang and Bloody gained a rough understanding of regional chief Pang Bing. Lin Huang then proceeded to question the other two.

The duo knew nothing much about Pang Bing. However, they knew another regional deputy chiefs each. As a result, Lin Huang gained information that he was not expecting about the two regional deputy chiefs.

Bloody was already done the integration after retrieving the memories way before Lin Huang was done with the interrogation.

"We're currently in Zone 17, which is Liang Jin's territory. The regional chief is Pang Bing, and there are three regional deputy chiefs who all have imperial-level purple gold-rank combat strength. Apart from these four, there are two idle imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses who didn't accept Liang Jin's recruitment. There are a total of over 3,000 convicts in the entire zone. Among them are six imperial-level purple gold-ranks, 43 imperial-level white gold-ranks, and 367 imperial-level yellow gold-ranks."

"So, what's the plan next? We already have Pang Bing's coordinates. Do we go to him directly?" asked Lin Huang, "Or do we use our old trick to bait them?"

"We can no longer use the old plan." Bloody shook its head. "In reality, there was a high probability that we might've failed when we were tricking Shi Qiang earlier. Fortunately, Shi Qiang trusted Ge Nan so much and didn't suspect a thing. Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't fall into our trap. The chances of failing are too high if we continue to use the same plan on Pang Bing."

"So, do you mean that we should kill Pang Bing immediately this time?"

"We kill Pang Bing after gathering information from him. We'll kill the three regional deputy chiefs one after another later," Bloody advised.

"Do we give up on all of the convicts?" Lin Huang raised his brow when he heard that.

"Of course not." Bloody shook its head, wearing a smile. "Killing the regional chief and the regional deputy chiefs is the first step. We can only carry out our next plan after killing them."

Bloody then shared the plan eventually and Lin Huang kept nodding while listening.

"That's such a great idea! If everything goes well, we can sweep everything in Zone 17 today." Lin Huang patted the Nightmare Tapir's head while watching Shi Qiang and the other two standing there looking lost. "You can kill them now."

The Nightmare Tapir's eyes turned black like they were dyed with ink.

A moment later, Shi Qiang and the other two fell to the ground. Life oozed out of them quickly.

The 50-odd people who fell unconscious earlier were killed as well.

However, their bodies had no wounds on their bodies at all. They did not look like they were dead. Instead, they looked more like they had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Bury them. They're human just like me after all. It's brutal to just abandon their bodies in the wild." Lin Huang had no sympathy for the convicts, but he thought he should respect the dead by burying them. It would not take too much time anyway.

Bloody summoned its hundreds of parasitical puppets and spent less than ten minutes digging holes. They then buried all of the corpses underground.

"Let's go to Hat Mountain now." Lin Huang summoned Thunder when he noticed that Bloody was done on its side and had recalled all of its parasitical puppets.

Riding on Thunder's back, they headed towards Hat Mountain.

Hat Mountain was approximately 2,000 kilometers away from Shadow Mountain. With Thunder's current speed, they arrived at the destination in less than 15 minutes.

They encountered two rounds of convicts who attacked them along the way. Thunder accelerated to dodge them and they lost the convicts like a piece of cake.

When they saw Hat Mountain in the sky, Lin Huang realized why the mountain had such a common name. The entire mountain looked like a conical hat. It resembled exactly the same as those pointed hats that witches always wore in fairytales. The only difference was that it was green. The entire mountain was covered in trees, and the sloppy tip stood tall in the sky. Compared to the mountains around it, this mountain stood out, which was how Lin Huang recognized it at first glance.

"Hat Mountain lives up to its name!" Looking at the lush green mountain, Lin Huang thought that Pang Bang had an impeccable taste for choosing to live on such a mountain.

Chapter 962: He's A Manstress

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He's A Manstress

There was a palace perched on top of Hat Mountain that reached the clouds. It looked like the tip of a giant hat.

Lin Huang patted Thunder's neck. "Get down there."

Thunder withdrew its wings and fell rapidly. It spread its wings again when they were about to land and hovered in the air. They landed at the entrance of the palace safe and sound.

Lin Huang got off its back and recalled Thunder. He then summoned the Nightmare Tapir and pushed open the palace doors.

He saw a steamy scene as soon as the door was pushed opened for a second.

Six naked women surrounded a man who was also bare, licking the man everywhere.

In a glance, Lin Huang saw the thing between the strong man's thighs who lay reclining on the chair. He could not help but comment while smiling, "No wonder he could marry six wives. This fella can afford to do that."

Bloody's voice came into Lin Huang's ears at that moment. "He's not Pang Bing. He's the regional deputy chief, Wang Xing."

"Ugh…" Lin Huang suddenly thought that the greenery in this Hat Mountain was perfect for the situation. 1

Wang Xing stood up immediately upon seeing the door open all of a sudden. He widened his eyes and looked at the newcomers.

The six women screamed as they hurriedly picked up their bras that were scattered all over the floor and covered their lady bits.

Wang Xing had sensed Thunder's existence earlier, but he did not care. Since Thunder's imperial-level crimson gold-rank aura masked Lin Huang's immortal-level aura completely, he did not notice that there was a human on Thunder's back.

In this prison, there were initially many local monsters. Since a supply of never-ending convicts was added in, most of the local monsters almost went extinct as a result of the convicts eating them.

The chief back then noticed the severe food shortage and prohibited the hunting of local monsters. For the sake of maintaining the food source in the long run, they allowed those monsters to move around and breed. They would only hunt once a year. Although they would hunt annually, the hunting of baby monsters was prohibited.

Therefore, Wang Xing did not care when he sensed Thunder's existence. He thought it was just an ordinary monster passing by. How could he have guessed that Thunder would dash down directly when it arrived above Hat Mountain? It only took less than one second when Lin Huang opened the palace door.

It was too late when he reacted as he was distracted, enjoying the six women's attention.

Compared to the women's panic, Wang Xin soon calmed down upon sensing Lin Huang and the Nightmare Tapir's aura. He did not even bother to look for clothes to cover his body as he stood up and shouted at Lin Huang, "Are you seeking death, candidate?!"

"I'm sorry to interrupt your interesting activity." Lin Huang spread his arms wide. "I'd be happy to wait until you guys were done if I weren't in such a hurry."

"Don't be sorry. Just suffer the death penalty." A sword aura shot out from Wang Xing's hand that was lifted as soon as he was done speaking. It arrived in front of Lin Huang's face directly.

However, his eyes turned blank right away while the sword aura that shot out faded in the air. The attack stopped and his body could not move at all as if he was a puppet that was being controlled.

At the same time, the six women, who were putting on their clothes in a panic, fell onto the ground. They seemed to be have fallen into a deep sleep.

"Put on your clothes." Lin Huang lay on the chair and waited for Wang Xing to put his undergarments on before he began the interrogation.

"Who are you?"

"My name's Wang Xing. I'm the regional deputy chief of Zone 17."

"Why are you in Pang Bing's home?"

"The Royal Trials commenced today. The regional chiefs are holding a meeting. He's not home, so his six wives invited me here."

"Don't you have to join such a meeting since you're a regional deputy chief?" Lin Huang asked rather confusedly.

"We only need to get our clone to go to most meetings. My clone went to the meeting this time as well."

"Now that he's being hypnotized, will his clone be affected?" Lin Huang asked the Nightmare Tapir.

The Nightmare Tapir shook its head and sent a thought into Lin Huang's head. He understood the Nightmare Tapir's explanation right away.

When a person was hypnotized, he would be in a kind of slumber while the clone was moving independently. Even if the person himself was in sleeping mode, it would not affect the clone. Furthermore, the clone would not sense whatever that was happening to the person. On the contrary, the person would be aware of whatever that was happening to the clone.

Lin Huang was finally relieved after confirming that and proceeded with the interrogation.

"Does Pang Bing know about your relationship with his six wives?"

"He doesn't. The six wives and I know his whereabouts very well, so we're not afraid of being busted."

"How long have you guys maintained this… relationship?"

"It's been 23 years."

"It's fine if you're with one or two of his wives, but why do you do this with all six wives?" Lin Huang could not understand that.

"Wife No. 6 is actually the spy that I asked to be with Pang Bing. Realizing that Pang Bing's terrible in bed, she connected all of us together and it slowly developed into the relationship that we have now."

"This female spy's powerful. Not only did she give him five women for free, but she also threw herself into his embrace as well," Lin Huang mumbled softly.

"Maybe this female spy has liked him since the beginning." Bloody's voice came out of his sleeve.

After some gossip, Lin Huang finally came to the serious stuff.

"Where's Pang Bing now?"

"He's at Sky Pillar Mountain, hosting the trial meeting."

"Apart from you, who else is at the meeting?"

"Another two regional deputy chiefs."

"Are they using clones too?"

"No, they went as themselves this time."

"When does the meeting end?"

"Looking at the current progress, I'm afraid it'll only end at 1 p.m. or after 1.30 p.m. if it takes longer."

"So, that means I can kill all of them this time without having to look for them one by one!" Lin Huang was elated to hear that.

After asking a couple of questions, Lin Huang got the Nightmare Tapir to retrieve the memories of all seven of them directly and share the information with Bloody.

Soon, Bloody came up with the detailed plan that they should carry out next.

"There's no need to keep these six women around, but we can't kill Wang Xing just yet. His clone will disappear as soon as he's dead. Pang Bing and the rest will know something's off right away."

"Moreover, there are many defensive measures at Sky Pillar Mountain. We'll alert the enemy if we get in with Thunder by force. It'll be much easier to get Wang Xing to go with us."

"However, I'm afraid it's hard to bring someone in since this is a meeting that's strictly for regional chiefs." Lin Huang thought he might be suspected even if he followed Wang Xing.

After all, Bloody's initial plan was to invade the abodes of the regional chief and the deputies to kill them one by one. That would not be happening now.

Bloody grinned to hear Lin Huang's doubts.

"Don't worry. I have my way. Not only will Pang Bing and the rest not suspect your identity, but they'll also get Wang Xing to invite you to the meeting!"

Chapter 963: A Successful Invasion

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the meeting room at Sky Pillar Mountain, an old man with silver hair sat on the main seat. The strong Wang Xing and a fat man with small, beady eyes sat on his left while a poker-faced man who looked mediocre sat on his right.

The four of them were the regional chief and regional deputy chiefs of Zone 17.

Wang Xing, who sat on the old man's left, suddenly spoke as he waited for the old man to finish speaking, "Regional chief, my body says that he would like to discuss a deal with all of you."

"A deal?" Pang Bing raised his brow upon hearing that. "What deal is that?"

"A candidate came to my body approximately half an hour ago. He said he brought many food resources and he would like to make a deal with us," Wang Xing explained, "My body has checked the food that he's providing. Apart from meat, there are also vegetables and fruits, and even drinks like alcohol. This candidate clearly came prepared."

Food was the scarcest resource they lacked in this space. Ever since they entered this world, they were basically eating only meat. Neither was there any vegetables nor fruits around. Due to the barren land, they could not plant those at all, let alone brew drinks such as alcohol.

The other three could not help but gulp when they heard that.

"This prison's barren. What does this candidate want?" Although Pang Bing was moved, he remained rational.

"He said all he wants are that storage equipment that we can't unlock," Wang Xing announced the condition of the deal.

"He's out of his mind to be asking for storage equipment in exchange for food. Any of that storage equipment could trade food that could pile into hundreds of Sky Pillar Mountains if he unlocks them." The poker-faced man scoffed. It was clear that he was extremely discontented with the condition.

"You can't say that, Old Ning. Although the storage equipment is valuable out there, they're just a pile of trash since we can't unlock them in this prison. They're just trash even if there are god relics, god items or god-level methods since we can't retrieve them! Food is the scarcest resource this prison lacks. Exchanging a bunch of trash with scarce resources, why can't we do that?" The fatty sitting next to Wang Xing gave a different opinion.

The poker-faced man scoffed and said nothing back.

"What do you think, Old Wang?" Pang Bing turned his head to look at Wang Xing's clone.

"I agree with what Huyan said. We can't unlock that storage equipment anyway, so it's useless to keep them. Some of them have been here for thousands of years and we still can't unlock them. Even if there's something amazing in them, it's futile since we can't retrieve them. Why not just exchange them with food?" Wang Xing shared the same opinion as the fatty.

"Why didn't your body catch that fella directly and force him to hand over all of the food?" The poker-faced man asked Wang Xing.

"I thought the same too, but that fella said he has a team who wants to work with us for the long term when we met. He's the only one who brought food at this time since it's the first time. He wants to see if we can collaborate. As soon as the first collaboration goes smoothly, they'll bring in tens of members with food every time the trial opens and the amount of food will be more than tenfolds compared to this deal. Moreover, we can give them a list of the food that we need in the future," Wang Xing's clone reiterated his body's explanation.

"Collaboration, my as*! Nobody knows how long until the next Royal Trials will take place in this space. You believe him just because he said he would have a long-term collaboration with us?! Don't you know that everybody can make empty promises?!" The poker-faced man, on the other hand, had disdain written all over his face.

"Wouldn't we know if he's making empty promises after he takes Huyan's test?" Wang Xing turned his head to look at the fatty next to him.

"Sure. It's just testing an immortal-level which doesn't require much effort," said the fatty while spreading his arms.

"Then, that's set. Old Wang, ask your body to send the candidate here directly. We'll get Huyan to test him. We'll discuss further if he passes the test. If he fails, we'll kill him directly." Pang Bing eventually decided after the trio's discussion.

The poker-faced man crossed his arms and looked away with a dour expression, but he did not object any further.

Thousands of kilometers away, Wang Xing's body still seemed to have blank eyes while reiterating the clone's discussion.

"They've agreed to the deal, but before discussing it officially, they'll do a test on you to make sure that the long-term collaboration you said is true. If not, they'll kill you directly."

"Test? Something like a hypnotizing interrogation?" Lin Huang raised his brow when he heard this, roughly guessing what the test was.

"Something like that. There's a regional deputy chief called Huyan Zhuo who is an expert in illusion whereby he can easily get the answer to what he wants to know," Wang Xing added, "Apart from the collaboration, they'll seize the opportunity to ask information about the world that you're from."

"I understand now. Lead the way then." Lin Huang nodded, wearing a smile.

Pang Bing and the rest were plotting against him, so was he not too?

Approximately 15 minutes later, Lin Huang arrived at the core zone of Zone 17, Sky Pillar Mountain, with the guidance of Wang Xing.

The mountain was the highest among all of the peaks in Zone 17. It was also where Wu Bin, the first chief of this Dynasty prison lived. Tens of millions of years ago, this prison had four chiefs and Wu Bin was one of them. It was those four who had implemented the orders in this prison which resulted in the stable development now.

To show respect to Wu Bin, nobody ever lived in Sky Pillar Mountain. The palace that used to belong to Wu Bin slowly became the Zone 17 office.

In midair faraway, Lin Huang saw many guards around Sky Pillar Mountain. There were at least 30 to 40 of them. Most of them had imperial-level yellow gold-rank combat strength and a few were on imperial-level white gold-rank.

He was not surprised to see that since he had heard about it from Wang Xing earlier.

As they landed on Sky Pillar Mountain, Lin Huang followed behind Wang Xing and entered the palace right away. Nobody stopped him. The guards did not even bother to look at him and ignored his existence completely.

Lin Huang figured it must be Pang Bing who notified them before their arrival. Otherwise, it was impossible for him for step foot in this palace even though Wang Xing was there.

After entering the palace, Lin Huang realized the palace was a demigod relic.

The demigod relic palace looked brand new even though tens of millions of years had passed. Of course, apart from the accumulation of energy for generations, the credit must go to the people who managed it often.

As Lin Huang stepped into the palace, the door closed automatically.

In the hall, the gray-haired Pang Bing sat on the main seat while Wang Xing and the other two sat on both sides.

However, Wang Xing's clone faded immediately when Wang Xin himself arrived. He took big strides and sat where his clone had been before.

Lin Huang stepped forward slowly.

When Pang Bing was ready to ask his questions, the Nightmare Tapir had released the Ninetails Lynx from its alternate dimension.

The Nightmare Tapir's eyes turned completely black when a little white cat landed on Lin Huang's shoulder sturdily.

Pang Bing and the rest stared blankly. They could not move as they sat on the chairs.

Chapter 964: The Disclosure of Dynasty

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As soon as the Nightmare Tapir activated its ability, Pang Bing and the rest were hypnotized without being able to fight back at all.

After reading their minds for less than a minute, the Nightmare Tapir sent the information that it had read to Bloody.

Bloody spend three to four minutes selecting and categorizing the information before snapping back to its senses.

"So, is there any useful information?" Lin Huang, who was standing aside, asked.

"There are quite some information about this prison and something about Dynasty. I think you should take a look," said Bloody and extended one of its tentacles, pressing it to his forehead.

A moment later, the sea of information Bloody selected and categorized rushed into Lin Huang's head.

Lin Huang took close to half a minute to digest the information as he shut his eyes after Bloody was done with the transfer and had retrieved its tentacle. "Dynasty is that powerful?!" That was the first thing Lin Huang said after he opened his eyes again.

In reality, Lin Huang already got some of the killed convicts' memory from Bloody this morning. He found out quite some information about the other worlds.

He gained a rough understanding of Dynasty after he got Pang Bing and the rest's memory. He also had a preliminary understanding of the gravel world, the mini world, and the great world.

The gravel world was a mini world with an incomplete order. It could be a mini-world that was growing or one that had fallen.

The world that Lin Huang was currently in was a gravel world. Furthermore, judging from the current situation, it should belong to the latter category.

In a gravel world with incomplete order, it was impossible to have True Gods in it. Even elevating to Virtual God was extremely difficult.

A mini world was a complete gravel world. Such a world had complete order where True Gods could be born. There might be heavenly god-level powerhouses that surpassed True Gods who were born in a minority of powerful mini worlds due to some special reason or opportunity. Some people would call this kind of world a medium world, but in reality, the nature of such a world was still a mini world.

A great world was the ultimate version of evolution in a world. In such a world, even lord-level powerhouses could be born. They could end a mini world with the flip of a hand.

There were countable Lords even in the great world with many tribes and talented geniuses.

According to Pang Bing's memory about great worlds, Dynasty was not a tribe, but a special organization outside a great world. There was a division founded in the big world.

However, such a division had a Lord guarding them. In the great world, their combined ability ranked No. 3 in all the organizations.

Dynasty had an extremely high acceptance rate to be a member. Apart from the minority Bug Tribe and Abyssal Tribe, they treated almost all tribes equally without discrimination. They would recruit members from all the worlds every now and then. No matter whether the person came from a gravel world, a mini world, or a great world, they could be a Dynasty member as long as they passed the trial.

The biggest advantage of being a Dynasty member was that they could trade resources they desired in the Dynasty market no matter which world they were in.

Due to the massive number of Dynasty members in every world with the existence of many gods, one could purchase almost anything that one thought of. God relics and god items aside, one could even get methods to cultivate to become a Lord.

"It seems like Dynasty's a little bit like an upgraded Genius Union, but they have a higher demand for personal ability. Only one person passes in the end among the 10,000 supreme geniuses compared to Dynasty's Prince," Lin Huang could not help but exclaim. "According to Pang Bing and the rest's memory, even without me, powerhouses such as Huang Wuji of the Five Princes have less than a 10% chance of passing the trial looking at the candidates who've passed in history.

"But the fact that I can trade different resources in various worlds is worth the effort to fight to be a Dynasty member." Lin Huang was sure that he wanted to be a Dynasty member after learning a little bit more about Dynasty.

"Only the person who obtains the highest points in this trial will be accepted as a Dynasty member. Although it's easy to achieve No. 1 on the leaderboard under normal circumstances, we can't be sure about what special techniques the others have. We can't see their points after all. To be safe, I suggest that we eliminate all of the participants first." Bloody offered a bold suggestion.

Lin Huang was stunned to hear that. He had never thought Bloody would make such a suggestion.

Bloody added after noticing that Lin Huang did not speak for a while, "Judging from the memory of Pang Bing and the rest, most of them who are participating in the trial came from a mini world while some of them came from a great world. The similarity is that those people came from major organizations. Some have True Gods in their organization while some even have Heavenly Gods. The seed players those organization sent should have formidable trump cards with them. We can't rule out the possibility that they can harm you. The easiest way to eliminate those threats is to eliminate them right away."

Lin Huang could not argue with what Bloody said at all.

"So, you're saying that we won't be following our initial plan of going for the three chiefs? Instead, we're going for the participants?"

"We're still implementing our initial plan as a whole, but we're not clearing Zone 17." Bloody shook its head. "Because we need those convicts to hunt those participants."

"You're saying that we're using the local convicts' strength to eliminate all of the participants?!" Lin Huang understood what Bloody meant now.

"That's right," Bloody confirmed, wearing a smile, "The efficiency is too low if we do it ourselves. The trial is only opened for a month. It might not be sufficient for us to kill all of the participants hiding everywhere within a month. Using the convicts will be much faster. They're more familiar with the terrain and the number of them is tenfolds more than the participants. It shouldn't take too long for them to eliminate all of the participants if all of them hunt together. We can prevent the risk of the participants from attacking using their trump cards if we get the convicts to kill them for us."

"So, what do we do next?" Lin Huang asked, "Do we find the three chiefs, hypnotize them and order them to hunt for the participants?"

"Something like that, but we can't order them to hunt just like that. Those convicts aren't as obedient after all. Most of them won't be enthusiastic about carrying out the order if we ask them to hunt right away." Bloody shook its head while smiling. "They'll be more enthusiastic plotting a plan that makes them think them they'll benefit," Bloody voiced its concern after telling its plan.

"There's another thing. The three chiefs are the top among imperial-level purple gold-ranks. Looking at Pang Bing's memory, they might be supreme geniuses. The Nightmare Tapir's combat strength's only imperial-level white gold-rank, so I'm a little concerned that the hypnotizing might fail."

Lin Huang took out a demigod-level soul crystal from his storage space, smiling after hearing that. "I've been putting this aside. Now, I can finally use it."

He fed the demigod-level soul crystal to the Nightmare Tapir. After some ten minutes, it digested the soul crystal successfully and elevated from imperial-level white gold-rank to imperial-level purple gold-rank. It was Lin Huang's third imperial-level purple gold-rank God Figurine's Combat Soul!

Within the ten minutes, Lin Huang got the regional chief Pang Bing to bring out all the treasures around Sky Pillar Mountain in Zone 17.

"Shall we depart now?" Lin Huang could not wait to go ahead with the next plan after noticing that the Nightmare Tapir's elevation was completed while he had the loots in his hands.

Chapter 965: The Clearing Plan Takes Off

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang got the Nightmare Tapir to go easy on the hypnotizing so that although Pang Bing and the rest were now semi-hypnotized, it seemed nothing out of the ordinary to outsiders. After that, Lin Huang left Sky Pillar Mountain and headed toward where Chief Liang Hao lived.

Liang Hao was one of the three chiefs in the current Dynasty prison who actually had a secret identity. He was Pang Bing's nephew.

Liang Hao had a formidable ability and was worthy of being called a supreme genius before elevating to imperial-level. In the great world, he was considered a person with extraordinary talent. Unfortunately, he did not come from a powerful family and had rather bad luck. He grew up in a minor organization that Pang Bing had founded. However, someone attacked the organization when Liang Hao was still on immortal-level and the organization was completely destroyed.

Since then, he had been following Pang Bing, living a life full of swindle.

Ever since Liang Hao elevated to imperial-level, both of them founded a minor organization in the great world to con the rookies in the main city. They even killed the rookies after conning them to prevent from being exposed.

Relying on those immoral resources, Liang Hao and Pang Bing cultivated their skills all the way to imperial-level purple gold-rank.

However, the good old days did not last long. They eventually offended a Dynasty member one day. While the organization was destroyed, Liang Hao and Pang Bing were thrown into this prison.

Ever since they arrived in the prison, Liang Hao soon realized that his ability made him a dominator in this space. He challenged the previous chief and killed him. Naturally, he became the new chief since then.

Lin Huang learned about that information from Pang Bing's memory.

Lin Huang did not doubt Liang Hao's ability. Liang Hao used to be a supreme genius after all. Perhaps his ability was nothing less than a pseudo-mythical-level monster since he elevated to imperial-level. His ability should be even more powerful now ever since he became the new chief. Besides having a full set of demigod relic equipment, he even got himself a god sword relic.

However, Lin Huang did not think Liang Hao had the upper hand if he were to fight his God Figurine's Combat Souls of the same combat strength.

After spending more than half an hour, Lin Huang arrived where Liang Hao lived — Dragon Pond Mountain.

He sensed the aura of more than 100 imperial-level powerhouses in the Dragon Pond Mountain area when he was far away midair. Most of them were on imperial-level yellow gold-rank while a minority of them were on imperial-level white gold-rank. The latter should be the guards.

He also saw a gigantic building on top of Dragon Pond Mountain. It was clearly another demigod relic palace.

The aura inside the palace was blocked entirely, so he could not sense anything inside at all. However, he knew that everyone in the palace sensed his presence since the beginning.

Apart from the people in the palace, even all the guards on Dragon Pond Mountain lifted their heads and pointed at the sky cautiously.

Liang Hao, who was sitting on a brass throne, raised his head slightly. "A participant?"

"Boss, do we catch him alive?"

There were four other people in the palace hall, three men and one woman whose aura was clearly on imperial-level purple gold-rank. The four of them were Liang Hao's personal bodyguards.

"He's only on immortal-level rank-7… Has Dynasty lowered its standards in the trial?" mumbled Liang Hao softly and shook his head, smiling. "Ignore him. The guards out there will take care of him."

Before he was even done speaking, he faltered and soon looked aghast.

The reason being was the young man, who appeared below 20 years old, summoned a monster which attacked all the guards on Dragon Pond Mountain until they slumped to the ground. They seemed to have been attacked by an invisible curse.

In the next second, the young man grabbed the token hanging on the waist of an entrance guard and opened the palace door.

Lin Huang and the Nightmare Tapir walked into the palace hall as soon as the door opened. He had a faint smile on his face while he glanced past the five of them present and his eyes eventually stopped on Liang Hao.

"Who are you?" Although Liang Hao was asking Lin Huang, he had his eyes trained on the Nightmare Tapir. His instinct told him that this little beast that appeared rather small was life-threatening to him.

"Hi, Chief Liang," Lin Huang introduced himself while grinning, "It's your humble servant, Lin Huang, the participant. The reason I'm here is to let you have a good sleep."

"Go!" Liang Hao shouted all of a sudden before Lin Huang could finish.

The five of them left their seats almost at the same time, racing toward Lin Huang and the Nightmare Tapir like an arrow leaving its bow.

At the moment, the Nightmare Tapir lifted its snout up high while releasing a loud roar from its muzzle. The sound wave spread almost 100 times faster than the speed of sound, and the five of them stopped moving.

The four of them had their eyes looking blank while Liang Hao managed to struggle for less than 0.1 seconds before he became a hypnotized puppet too.

After it was done reading their minds, the Nightmare Tapir sent the information to Bloody again.

The Nightmare Tapir put all five of them into a semi-hypnotized mode once the searching of the loot was done. Lin Huang then headed toward where the second chief lived.

It was close to four in the afternoon after spending close to an hour and a half hypnotizing the second and third chiefs as well as completing the search for the loot.

Lin Huang stopped moving around. Instead, he stayed in the house of the third chief, Liu Hong.

"We can commence our plan now that all three chiefs have been hypnotized."

"Yes, we can get the Nightmare Tapir to make the three chiefs announce the hunting of the participants at the same time now," Bloody confirmed.

"The notice must make the hunting rule clear. Those who manage to find the participants and provide accurate information will be given 10% of the prey. Those who manage to kill the participants will be given 50% of the prey.

"Among the 35 regions, all of the members in the top three regions will be given 30%, 20% and 10% of the prey they hunt respectively as a reward. Regions that rank from No. 4 to No. 10 will have a 5% reward on the prey that they hunt. The regions that rank No. 33, No. 34 and No. 35 will have 10%, 20% and 30% of the prey that they hunt taken away respectively.

"In the top three major zones, everyone in the major zone that ranks No. 1 will have 10% reward of the prey that they hunt while the No. 3 region will have 10% of the prey that they hunt taken away. The region that ranks No. 2 won't have any reward or punishment."

The notice was sent to the talismans of all the convicts in the prison around four in the afternoon simultaneously.

They were excited and could not wait to commence the hunt as soon as they saw the notice.

Under normal circumstances, the convicts would have to submit 50% of the preys that they hunted. 20% would go to the chiefs while 30% would go to the regional chief and regional deputy chief. The convict could only keep half of their prey.

However, they would be given 10% as soon as they found the participants. Together with the 50% that they obtained from killing the participants, they would be given 60% of the harvest. If their region and major zone ranked No. 1, they would be given another 40%. That would be mean that they would get 100% of the harvest.

Naturally, the regional chiefs were displeased to see the notice because their benefits would be taken away because of the new rule.

Just when the regional chiefs were complaining, another notice was sent to all of the regional chiefs and deputy chiefs.

"For the remaining bodies in this hunt, the three chiefs will only be given 5% while the remaining 95% will be given to the top 10 regional chiefs and deputy chiefs. The region that ranks No. 1 will be given 30%, No. 2 20%, and No. 3 10% while No. 4 to No. 10 will be given 5%."

Everyone shut up as soon as the notice went out.

The regional chiefs and deputy chiefs from the 35 regions gathered people to hunt for the participants immediately.

Chapter 966: The Gravel World's Dangerous Situation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huang Chenyu hid carefully in the branch of a big tree. He leaned closer to the branch and stopped breathing entirely. His heartbeat was so weak that it almost came to a halt.

It was a disguise ability that he had mastered, giving him the ability to blend in with the environment rapidly so that nobody could sense his presence. With his current imperial-level crimson gold-rank combat strength, he could even hide being detected from imperial-level yellow gold-rank powerhouses' Territory skill.

He assassinated three local convicts throughout the day with the same ability. One of them was an imperial-level black gold-rank and two were imperial-level crimson gold-ranks.

However, as the Second Prince of Dynasty, he was not hunting. Instead, he was avoiding himself from being killed.

He hid on top of the tree for over ten minutes without moving. Midair, the search teams went by one after another. He was relieved to sense the aura of the two teams getting further and further away.

"What exactly happened? It was fine during the day. Why did these convicts become so hardworking with their large-scale search for participants before the sky turned dark?" mumbled Huang Chenyu softly.

"That's because the three chiefs ordered them to hunt." A voice came from above Huang Chenyu.

Stunned, Huang Chenyu did not look at the person at all as he hurried on tip-toe rapidly into the dense jungle.

A skeletal gray silhouette followed closely behind him. He was getting closer and closer. Soon, his voice went into Huang Chenyu's ears clearly.

"This stealthy disguise ability of yours isn't too shabby. You might be able to hide from me if your combat strength is a rank higher, but now you're like a firefly in the dark. You can't hide no matter where you go. Instead of wasting your strength running away, why don't you just fight me? At least, you could die with dignity."

Huang Chenyu said nothing as if he had not heard what the person said. He traveled through the dense jungle, twisting and turning in an attempt to get rid of the person.

Both of them tore through the dense jungle for a couple of minutes. One was running away while the other was in pursuit. The gray silhouette seemed to be afraid of attracting attention and did not attack.

However, a black gleam flashed diagonally at his front all of a sudden. Huang Chenyu was shocked, but it was too late when he tried to avoid it. The black gleam pierced through his chest and his heart burst into pieces.

Huang Chenyu's aura disappeared on the spot while he fell onto the ground.

They gray silhouette behind halted immediately and revealed a tall, skinny man. He condemned in rage, "Who dares to take my prey? Come out now!"

At the moment, a skinny silhouette walked out of the dense jungle slowly. He wore a white robe with disheveled long hair. He lifted his head and looked at the tall, skinny man as a challenge. "Do you have any comment on this?"

"N-No comment." The tall, skinny man waved his hand immediately as cold, dense sweat dripped down his forehead.

"I found this meat first. Get out," said the white-robed man casually as if he was telling the truth.

"Yes, yes, yes… I didn't see anything!" The tall, skinny man turned around and immediately fled. He only stopped running when he was tens of kilometers away. He wiped the sweat on his forehead away. "Scared the sh*t out of me! Even the white-robed lunatic is participating in the hunt this time. Isn't this fella a lone wolf whereby even the regional chief means nothing to him?"

At the same time that Huang Chenyu was killed, a large-scale hunt for the participants took off everywhere.

Many participants could not understand it until the final seconds when death loomed in front of them. Why did all of the convicts in the trial space go nuts and began seeking and killing participants when they had just skimmed the surface by killing two to three convicts?

What they had no idea about was that someone had the entire space figured out while the rest were combing the trial space carefully. This person was the culprit who drove all the convicts nuts.

As the hunt for the participants got heated out there, as a participant himself, Lin Huang was sitting on the couch in Chief Liu Hong's home, studying the memory Bloody had selectively sent him.

"Ahh, the so-called Virtual God and True God are just how the Protoss addresses them…"

According to the great world, virtual god-level was called destiny-level and was the level to consolidate Life Columns. There would be nine transformations in the Life Columns. Each transformation would be called a rotation, so there would be a total of nine rotations on destiny-level.

In this level, a territory that was initially invisible would form a mini world because of the Life Columns. It was called a God Territory, which the Protoss called "Kingdom".

After the nine rotations in the Life Columns were completed while the Divine Fire was lit, one would reach god order-level when they learned the orders and sequences, which was what they called true god-level. There were nine sequences in the god order-level. One would master a level of the order of the world every time they broke through a sequence.

A complete sequence chain would be formed once the person mastered the order up to the ninth sequence. A powerhouse who achieved Supreme Godly Right covering the entire God Territory would be said to have achieved god sequence-level. Since the Godly Right could not be rebelled against and was formidable, the Protoss called the level heavenly god-level. The ranks were divided into five titles according to the intensity of the Godly Right and the God Territory which were duke-rank, marquess-rank, earl-rank, viscount-rank, and baron-rank.

Moving up, Absolute Godly Right would be formed when one consolidated nine or more god sequence chains. A powerhouse who elevated his God Territory to Supreme Kingdom would be on what they called supreme god-level, which the Protoss called lord-level. Strictly speaking, only the God Territory of a supreme god-level could be called a real Kingdom. Even though a powerhouse had just entered supreme god-level, the Kingdom would already be fully opened and contain up to 1,000 mini-worlds. On this level, he could build an enormous Kingdom of his own easily.

However, that was all the chiefs understood about the combat strength.

Liang Hao and the rest had no idea how supreme god-level or lord-level were divided exactly, let alone the existence of other levels above supreme god-level.

Nevertheless, the current information was sufficient for Lin Huang. He had yet to reach imperial-level now, so virtual god-level was far away from him, let alone the higher levels.

Apart from learning about combat strength, Lin Huang had a rough idea about the tribes and the distribution of the organizations now.

In the great world, the most powerful tribe would be the Protoss. The second would be the Bug Tribe and the third would be the Immortal Tribe. The fourth would be the foreign Abyssal Tribe and the fifth was the Dragon Tribe. Humans ranked No. 6, which was the lowest among all.

The Dragon Tribe which ranked No. 5 was the only tribe in the top six that was not a prominent tribe. In reality, the ability of their top powerhouse was no less than a Protoss'.

Just like the Dragon Tribe, the other tribes were less in quantity compared to the great tribes. Overall, they were not as powerful as the Dragon Tribe so they ranked after human. However, that did not mean they had no powerhouses.

"Looking at the situation of the gravel world that we're in, our world's most probably within the range of power under the Protoss's organization. Those that have been invading our world has always been the Protoss and the God Servants!" Out of the blue, Lin Huang noticed that after having a rough idea of the distribution of the tribes.

"I think it's more possible for us to be at the intersection of the Protoss and the Abyssal Tribe's territories," Bloody added, "Many abyssal living things in the Abyss Brink should come from the Abyssal Tribe's territory."

"What you said makes it sound like the situation's actually worse now." Lin Huang shook his head while forcing a smile.

"It's pretty bad. It's usually just a copy for the Protoss to gain experience whereby they'd leave after they're done with it. As soon as the Protoss and the Abyssal Tribe go to war, it won't be just a one-off incident. The entire gravel world might even be destroyed."

"Waiting for the Protoss to come and defend them then won't be a solution. Even if the defense works in the end, it doesn't solve the root problem." Lin Huang scowled to hear what Bloody said. "We must find ways outside of gravel world to solve it completely!"

"I'm planning to break through to imperial level as soon as I can after I leave this trial space. I'll leave the gravel world after settling some stuff!"

Chapter 967: Number of Remaining Trialists: 1

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was midnight. A silhouette dashed at high speed in the dense jungle. Up to a hundred skinny silhouettes followed closely behind him

Huang Wuji was running for his life like a mad man. Before entering this trial space more than ten hours ago, he had never imagined that such a thing would happen to him.

As the Fifth Prince, he was well-prepared before coming to the trial. He even hired an Imperial Censor to sign a contract with three imperial-level monsters for him to bring them into this trial space. He obtained a Life Base as soon as he entered the trial space and elevated all the way to imperial-level yellow gold-rank.

Initially, he thought elevating to imperial-level yellow gold-rank would give him the ability to fight most imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses head-on, making him the overlord in this trial space. Never had he thought that he would break the beehive after killing a few convicts and end up being chased by a bunch of local convicts who had lost their minds like he was a dog.

'Seriously? All I did was killing a few of you and up to a hundred people are chasing me for more than 5,000 kilometers. Plus, there are more and more people! Could one of the people I killed come from a powerful background? Am I that ill-fated?'

Huang Wuji sensed a few powerful aurae advancing toward him swiftly as he was thinking to himself. There were four of them and their combat strength was clearly on imperial-level purple gold-rank. Their aura was much more powerful than the usual imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouse.

"Sh*t! These four must be the regional chiefs and the deputy chiefs of this region. Are people of such a level out hunting too?" Huang Wuji was hesitating as to whether to leave the trial now.

He tried deviating his direction a little, but the people that were approaching him changed their flight trajectory immediately and headed toward him.

"I've been targeted!" There were obstructions before him and people chasing behind him while he was surrounded on both sides too.

Knowing that it was impossible for him to escape, Huang Wuji did not choose to give in. He went forward to the few imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses before him, clenching his teeth.

Soon, both parties met.

Huang Wuji glanced at the four of them. Instead of targeting the one who had the weakest aura, he had his eyes fixed on the one who had the most powerful aura. His intention to battle was skyrocketing.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the regional chief. Do you dare to take my challenge?"

"Boss, this kid's interesting," said a shorty standing next to him while grinning.

"You have excellent eyes." The man with facial paralysis, who was challenged, smirked. "Let's play then."

Huang Wuji tossed the golden combat spear in his hand as soon as the man was done speaking. The spear spun rapidly like an arrow in the air and a golden line reflecting the moonlight arrived before the man's face. At the same time, he raced towards the man.

The man with facial paralysis had no expression. He pointed his right hand in the air as he lifted an eyelid, pointing at the tip of the golden spear.

The golden gleam at the tip of the spear disappeared. It expanded rapidly and exploded. Countless golden rays shot out everywhere as if a sun had just exploded. The blast sounded like tens of millions of thunders rumbling at the same time and the area within a radius of tens of kilometers turned into ruins.

In the next second, the man with facial paralysis pointed in the air again as his eyelid twitched.

A silhouette went from being invisible to turning visible. His body shot out like a cannonball as he spat a mouthful of blood out.

"You're worthy of being called the regional chief! You sure are compelling!" Huang Wuji realized how far apart his ability was from the person in that instant. The regional chief should have been a supreme genius even before he elevated to imperial-level.

"Eh, he's still alive?" The man with facial paralysis raised his brow faintly. Just when he lifted his hand in an attempt to attack again, he did not expect to hear the participant across him.

"I'll surrender since I'm not a match for you. You guys don't have to send me off." Huang Wuji crushed the trial token without hesitation as soon as he finished speaking. His body was covered in a golden glow in an instant and it turned into a golden sphere. He then shot into the sky at the speed of light and disappeared in the clouds in the blink of an eye.

Some seed players from other organizations who were sent in experienced a similar encounter with Huang Wuji.

All of them came in with full confidence with the expectation of showcasing their abilities to win themselves a place in Dynasty. However, they were treated like dogs not even a day into the trial. Those who were slightly lucky like Huang Wuji managed to escape by crushing the trial token in time. Those who were unlucky could not even escape and were killed by a bunch of convicts who collaborated.

Early the next morning, since the trial began, 90% of the 10,000 participants were disqualified, so only less than 1,000 remained.

Looking at the calculated data the trial system conveyed, Lin Huang could not help but admire the convicts' terrifying hunting efficiency.

"It's only been a day and 9,081 people have been disqualified. Including me, there are only 919 participants left now. Looking at the progress, they'll clear all of the participants within one or two days."

"I don't think it'll be that quick." However, Bloody gave a different opinion. "The reason the first hunt had a high efficiency is that the participants were caught off-guard since they didn't expect the convicts to be hunting them. They had no upper hand since they're unfamiliar with the terrain.

"Those who managed to survive the first hunt should have top-notch abilities among those participants. Furthermore, after a night of escaping, they should've gained a certain understanding of the terrain. Although the number of convicts has the absolute upper hand, it'd take at least a week to kill all of the participants."

"What you said makes sense." Lin Huang figured that he was thinking too shallowly after hearing Bloody's explanation. "Seems like we can only wait patiently."

Lin Huang spent the next few days practicing his swordsmanship.

Time flashed by and a week had passed. Among the 10,000 participants, three people survived.

Apart from Lin Huang, the other two had been playing hide-and-seek of all sorts with the convict army.

According to the messages the convict army sent back, the two participants were imperial-level white gold-rank powerhouses. The ordinary imperial-level purple gold-rank could do nothing for them since they would only be afraid of masters such as the regional chief.

Just when Lin Huang was cracking his head, pondering how to kill the two people, the number of remaining participants dropped to 2 all of a sudden. It was clear that someone had either been killed or disqualified.

"There's this one last man left. The Dynasty member quota will be mine as soon as he's dead," Lin Huang muttered softly at the number 2.

Soon, two days had passed and the number of remaining participants stayed unchanged at 2.

Even Lin Huang was considering if he should hunt the person himself.

After lunch, a maidservant walked toward Lin Huang with a plate of fruits. She turned her head after placing the plate on the coffee table and realized that Lin Huang was looking at her smiling.

"Don't go since you're here." Lin Huang grabbed the lady's wrist.

"Are you sure about that, Master?" The lady leaned in while smiling sweetly.

"Of course I am." Lin Huang released her arm and pulled her into his embrace.

At the moment, the lady grinned and grabbed a short blade from her sleeve. She shoved it rapidly and pierced it through Lin Huang's head.

However, the lady had a slight change of expression at the same time. She stepped back quickly because she saw Lin Huang's penetrated head being crushed into pieces and fading away.

"There are two things that I didn't expect. One is that you'd be a lady and secondly, I didn't expect you to come to my doorstep." Lin Huang stood at the entrance of the palace and looked at the lady in a maid's uniform as he leered. "Perhaps I couldn't do anything to you if you were to hide properly for a short period of time, but now…"

"I didn't expect it to be an immortal-level who managed to create such a stir in Dynasty's trial space and get everyone disqualified." The lady's body gradually transformed into her original body. She was a beauty, much prettier than the maidservant that she had disguised as earlier.

"Can I ask you a question? How did you find out about me? I thought I disguised myself perfectly as this maidservant. There shouldn't be any flaws at all."

"I hypnotized everyone in this palace, but you're the only one who isn't under the spell." Lin Huang knew this lady was the last participant that he was looking for as soon as he laid his eyes on her.

"Since you're done asking, do you want to leave by yourself or should I send you out?" Lin Huang asked while smirking.

"Aren't I the one who has the upper hand in such a situation?" It was clear that the lady did not want to give up on the member quota of Dynasty that was just right there.

"Some things can't be seen by the naked eye." Lin Huang smiled while raising his brow.

Just when the lady was attempting to launch an attack, she felt a searing pain that spread from her neck out of nowhere. In the next second, her head tumbled from her neck as fresh blood spurted out of her neck like a fountain.

Lin Huang's silhouette was reflected in the eyes of the head on the ground. Without any realizing it, a tiny little cat had appeared on his shoulder.

A notification from the trial system popped up before Lin Huang all of a sudden.

"Number of remaining participants: 1"

Chapter 968: The Hongmen Feast

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the tenth day since the Royal Trials began, apart from Lin Huang, all 10,000 participants were disqualified.

By then, Lin Huang had completed a significant part of the goal of his journey in the Royal Trials.

Glancing away from the notification coming from the trial system, Lin Huang observed the headless lady's body.

A ball of black liquid appeared on the left side of him. It then turned into a black stream and headed towards the lady's headless body and her decapitated head.

Approximately ten seconds later, the black liquid vanished completely. The lady's severed head was reconnected with black threads. As if she had merely faked her death, the lady stood up from the ground. Her aura was still the initial imperial-level white gold-rank aura. Apart from her eyes that were now all black without any white irises, nobody could tell there was anything off about her.

"Master." The lady bowed respectfully to Lin Huang slightly as she fixed her eyes on him.

Lin Huang raised his brow. The ball of black liquid was his God Figurine's Combat Soul, the Undead Styx. He roughly knew that it could resurrect the dead. Furthermore, the person who was resurrected would be immortal.

Because the lady before him had a terrifying ability when she was alive, he suddenly had an idea of trying the Undead Styx's resurrection ability.

"Does this resurrection preserve her ability and memory from when she was alive?"

"Yes. As long as the soul's intact, complete preservation is possible," replied the lady with a nod.

"Even if the brain's been destroyed?" Lin Huang asked rather surprisedly.

"That doesn't matter. It won't affect anything whether it's destroyed or rotting because I retrieve information from their soul."

"How many people can you control at once?" Lin Huang asked again.

"According to my inherited memory, there shouldn't be a limit on the quantity." The Undead Styx's answer was rather out of Lin Huang's expectations. "Wouldn't it burden you if the number is too high?"

"No. The soul and body I devour will become part of my body, so it'll only strengthen me."

"What about the limit to the resurrection combat strength?"

"The highest I can resurrect will be imperial-level purple gold-rank. I can't resurrect people on demigod-level and above due to the Divine Power in their bodies. However, since my combat strength's only on imperial-level white gold-rank now, it'll take a longer time for me to resurrect an imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouse. The more powerful the soul is, the longer it'll take."

"How long does it take for you to resurrect an imperial-level purple gold-rank then?" Lin Huang asked immediately.

"Usually around three minutes. I'll need at least ten minutes for those who've elevated from supreme genius. If the person's comparable to a quadruple mutated monster, it'll take at least two hours. Due to the combat strength restriction, I can't resurrect many imperial-level purple gold-ranks at once currently. I can only resurrect one at a time. I won't have this problem if my combat strength is elevated to imperial-level purple gold-rank. Then, the speed of my resurrection will experience a boost by tenfolds too."

Lin Huang asked a couple more questions and achieved a better understanding of the Undead Styx's abilities.

After recalling the Undead Styx, he realized that the resurrected lady had disappeared as well.

"With the Undead Styx's ability, it won't take long for us to build an undead army," Bloody declared while smiling in envy.

"You don't have to be envious of its ability. All it does is resurrect dead beings while you can cast parasites and control all living things," Lin Huang comforted.

Bloody did not dwell on the topic. It then focused on the important thing at hand.

"Now that all of the participants have been cleared, we'll have to clear the convicts next."

"Do you have any idea how to gather these convicts together?" Lin Huang had been thinking about it for these past few days, but he could not come up with a solid plan.

"It's simple. We'll organize a Hongmen feast!" Bloody told him how to carry out the next plan in detail.

Both of them discussed until late at night until they had nailed down all the details of the Hongmen Feast.

When it was almost 10 p.m., Lin Huang got the Nightmare Tapir to issue the order to the three chiefs. They announced a new notice together when it was 10 p.m. sharp.

"The participant-clearing collaboration has officially ended!"

"Congratulations, everyone! It's the first time we've cleared all the Dynasty participants in our territory."

"The three chiefs are officially inviting all regional chiefs, regional deputy chiefs and all members in this prison to have a feast tomorrow at 10 a.m. at the foot of Tongtian Peak."

"By then, please submit all the meat that everyone has hunted this time. We will calculate and rank the three zones and regions based on the number of prey. After the ranking is done, we will distribute the meat according to the rule that was set earlier."

"The three chiefs will come to your doorstep if anyone doesn't attend the feast at the said time and if you hide the meat. All the meat will be confiscated and you won't be given any food and water for a hundred years. Those who refuse to surrender the meat when the three chiefs visit will be killed on the spot!"

Those who were planning on playing tricks eliminated their plan as soon as the notice went out. Nobody wanted the three chiefs to come to them and they were far from willing to give up on a hundred years of food and water.

Although the notice was filled with harsh words and it was rather odd to demand everyone to be there, not many people suspected the authenticity of the notice.

A similar incident had happened before; it was not the first time the three chiefs were doing such a challenge. Besides that, the trio had announced the notice together, proving that they had discussed this before, so the probability of it being fake was almost zero. Nobody would be able to figure that the three chiefs were being controlled without them even realizing it.

Since the notice went out, many of them departed directly to Tongtian Peak.

A minority of powerhouses who were not in the organization under the three chiefs frowned slightly when they saw the notice. They communicated with each other immediately.

"I'm sure you guys saw the notice Liang Hao and the rest sent, didn't you?"

"Yes, it's obvious that they're pointing at us."

"Didn't we just got a few bodies when we followed the crowd? It's so petty for them to want us to submit all the bodies."

"It has nothing to do with the meat. The trio is just seizing the opportunity to flaunt their power."

"Do we go? I'm guessing they might really come to us if we don't. Since they've already announced that, they wouldn't want to look bad."

"Of course we're going. They'll have something to hold against us if we don't. We'll just play by their rules. If they ask for trouble even if we obey, we'll kill them together. Let's see who'll die then!"

"Let's see what kind of trick they're pulling off."

Clearly, this notice had extremely high oppressive power. Even those who were usually rebellious did not dare to say anything this time.

Even a minority of them, whose abilities were comparable with Liang Hao and the rest, chose to compromise. After all, they would not be able to take Liang Hao and the rest on since they had more people on their side no matter how powerful their personal ability was. If they really were to fight, the upper hand was not theirs.

Lin Huang and Bloody waited patiently for the next day to come after sending the notice out.

Chapter 969: We Should Be Humble Instead of Being High on Pride

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tongtian Peak was the interception of the three zones. It had also been the fixed venue for all of the collaborative activities of the three zones for tens of thousands of years.

It was past nine in the morning, but the foot of Tongtian Peak was already congested with people. Most of them made it there last night and they had been waiting at the foot for a night.

Apart from the minority of them who had been killed by the two days ago, basically 99% of the 100,000 convicts in the entire prison were here.

Lin Huang, on the other hand, arrived at the place leisurely after having some light breakfast early in the morning. However, he was hiding in the Ninetails Lynx's alternate dimension where nobody could see him.

Everyone was relaxing while chatting with people they knew since the chiefs were not there yet.

Even some of the regional chiefs were talking about the feast this time.

"Why do you guys think the three chiefs are doing this? If they're going to divide the meat according to the rules that they've set, they won't be getting much meat."

"I guess they just want to torture us since they're bored."

"What else? They just want to show off! Remember the Octodecathlon last time?"

"Don't talk about the Octodecathlon anymore. Ugh, I get so pissed whenever someone mentions this!"

"Oh yeah, your region came in last for the Octodecathlon last time. What? Are you fighting for the last place again this time?"

"F*ck! Can't you say something more auspicious? Boss Zheng will kill me if we get last again."

"Do you guys think the people in Dynasty will go insane since we've cleared all the participants in the Royal Trials this time?"

"I don't think so since we're only one of the tens of thousands of trial venues. Moreover, it's normal for participants to fail. It's not like there's always an implicit condition whereby the participant who gets the most points must obtain at least 1,000 points."

"I don't think so either. This is only a Rank-D trial space after all. The participants will only get a Rank-D authorization even if they pass this trial. There are at least millions of Dynasty members with Rank-D authorization. They wouldn't care whether they have one more or one less Rank-D member."

Liang Hao and the other two arrived at the scene when it was approximately 9.55 a.m.

Everyone who gathered at the foot of the mountain fell into a hushed silence as soon as the three showed up. They then shuffled back to their own teams.

"I won't beat around the bush. Regional chiefs, do a headcount and see who isn't here yet. Hand me the list of absentees. Cross the names of those who made it before 10 a.m. off the list. We'll handle those who arrive after 10. Their meat will be confiscated and they won't be given food and water for 100 hundred years!"

Many regional chiefs looked solemnly at the other two chiefs, Zheng Tu and Liu Hong.

Both of them nodded to the regional chiefs under their wings. "Follow what Chief Liang said."

The regional chiefs and regional deputy chiefs began working as soon as the two spoke.

Many of them who made it just on time looked guilty, they were secretly relieved that they were not late.

When it was almost 10 a.m. sharp, four imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouse whose aura was nothing less than Liang Hao and the rest arrived just in time. They way they looked at Liang Hao and the rest two was a little provocative.

However, Liang Hao and the two did not do anything about that since they were under the Nightmare Tapir's control.

Liang Hao spoke again as soon as time passed ten.

"Those who haven't arrived will be given the punishment that was set last night."

Around some ten minutes, only three among the 35 regional chiefs handed the list. Everyone in the remaining regions made it there.

There were only four names on the three lists.

Among the four names, one of them made it to Tongtian Peak but he was approximately three minutes later.

The people who knew him turned to look at him when the three chiefs read out his name. Most of them had teasing expression on their faces, only a minority of them had sympathy flashed through their eyes.

"Chief Zheng, please give me one more chance. I could've made it on time but I was chased by a monster when I was on the way. I took a big round and that's why I'm late…"

Zheng Tu, who was short and muscular, spoke without an expression on his face, "You're an adult. Adults should pay for their mistakes. There's nothing to complain about. No matter what the reason is, it's a fact that you've broken the rule that we've set. If I let you go this time, we'll set precedence. In the future, everyone will think that they can break the rule that we've set. Just accept the punishment obediently and stop complaining. I'll kill you if you continue to complain!"

The man, who still wanted to argue, shut up immediately. He dared not utter another word.

"We'll visit the remaining three who haven't made it here until now after the feast has ended." Zhang Tu glanced at everyone when he said that. Many people had goosebumps from that warning of his.

"Alright, we'll begin with the submission of the meat. All the members of each region will hand all of the meat to your regional deputy chiefs. The regional chiefs will be responsible for registering and calculating the data. Pass the data to your chief when you're done with the calculation. The three of us will confirm the number. Don't cheat. All the meat from the entire region will be confiscated if we find out that anyone has cheated on the data!"

All of the regional chiefs who were planning to cheat began the registration obediently when they heard the last sentence.

Lin Huang stayed in the alternate dimension until past noon. Seeing that everyone surrendered the thousands of participants' bodies they had hunted and put them into 35 piles, he got the Ninetails Lynx to release him.

Everyone looked puzzled when he appeared next to the three chiefs.

Many of them reacted immediately upon realizing that he was a foreign participant. However, what puzzled them was that the three chiefs seemed to be ignoring him.

"Get good sleep, all of you." Next to him, the Nightmare Tapir released a loud roar as Lin Huang snapped his fingers. The sound wave spread at a speed that was close to 100 folds faster than the speed of sound.

Many of the convicts fell onto the ground wherever the sound wave passed by.

The few imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses who had similar abilities with Liang Hao and the rest had the fastest reaction. They sped toward Lin Huang in an attempt to attack him. However, they lagged far behind the Nightmare Tapir's sound wave attack no matter how fast they were. All of them fell midair as the sound wave spread.

In less than a second, at least 100,000 convicts fell into the Nightmare Tapir's dreamland.

After spending more than an hour reading everyone's minds, the Nightmare Tapir made everyone fall asleep in the dreamland forever.

Lin Huang then summoned the Undead Styx to take over the loose ends.

The Undead Styx that was initially the size of four basketballs turned into a flowing black river. It devoured all of the convicts apart from the imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses.

In less than an hour, more than 4,000 participants and 100,000 convicts, who were deep in the dreamland, woke up again. However, their eyes were now pure black as if they were dyed with ink.

The Undead Styx spent almost a day and night to devour all the remaining over 180 imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses before resurrecting them.

The three chiefs took the longest whereby it spent more than half an hour resurrecting them.

Lin Huang was beaming with pride as he looked at his imperial-level army that was close to 110,000 people. "Such an army should be enough to clear any organizations in a gravel world."

However, Bloody soon ruined his imagination. "I'm afraid it's not sufficient yet. Even though the imperial-level powerhouses' numbers surpass any organization's, we're still lacking the peak combat strength — demigod!"

"In an organization such as the Union Government, they would have at least 15 demigods. The Hunter Association would have more than ten. I'm afraid that even Dynasty would definitely have more than five. And that's conservative speculation."

Lin Huang's pride was torn as Bloody practically splashed a bowl of cold water onto him.

"Hmm, I think we should be humble instead of being high on pride then."

Chapter 970: He Took All the Corpses With Him

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Undead Styx that had a 110,000-strong army under its wing controlled the undead army to go their old lair respectively as Lin Huang ordered. They then searched for loots in the lair.

Although most of them had no space for equipment, the Undead Styx could turn into liquid and devour all the items to store them inside its body temporarily.

Whilst the undead army was searching for loots, the Undead Styx shared the memory of its army members with Bloody. After some selecting and arranging, Bloody shared the useful bits with Lin Huang.

More than an hour later, the undead army came back when Lin Huang was still digesting the sea of memories in his head. They handed all of their stored items to Lin Huang without holding back.

Apart from their items, the treasuries of the 35 regions were emptied too. Also, the over 4,000 participants' storage equipment became Lin Huang's loots too.

Lin Huang only left each of them a set of weapon and armor equipment.

After the search of loots, Lin Huang thought about it and decided not to let go off the three convicts who did not come to the feast. He made the Undead Styx control the three chiefs to lead and form three teams consisting of the regional chiefs and deputy chiefs to kill the remaining three.

When the three convicts, who were thousands of kilometers away, died eventually, a notification from the system popped out in front of Lin Huang immediately.

"Number of Remaining Participants: 1

"Number of Remaining Convicts: 0

"All of the convicts are killed, the trial has officially ended!

"Calculating trial result…

"Participant: Lin Huang

"Gender: Male

"Age: 18

"Combat Strength: Immortal-level Rank-7 (Candidate's cultivation system is eligible for the trial)

"Qualification Assessment: Grade-A

"Basic Points: 552,831

"Reward Points (Killing Regional Chiefs): 780,000

"Reward Points (Killing Chiefs): 300,000

"Total Points: 1,632,831

"Qualification Result: Total points exceed one million points, trial result — Perfect.

"Congratulations, participant, you've obtained a Perfect qualification in the trial and won yourself a Rank-A Dynasty member authorization!

"The trial has officially ended!

"Do you want to be sent out of the trial space right now?"

Lin Huang selected "no" immediately.

"Reminder: Please handle the loose ends as soon as you can. The trial space will shut down automatically 24 hours later. You can leave anytime within the 24 hours. At the last minute before the trial space shuts down, you will be sent back to your world by force whether you're willing to leave or not."

No more notifications popped out from the system after the reminder.

Lin Huang stood there looking a little lost. He had yet to digest the sea of information Bloody had sent earlier and the system issued such a reminder all of a sudden. It caught him by surprise.

Theoretically, he would not obtain a million points after killing all of the convicts. However, after studying the two reward points closely, he realized that he was given 10,000 reward points for killing each regional chief and 5,000 reward points for killing each regional deputy chief. As for each chief, he was awarded 100,000 reward points. As a consequence, he accumulated a total of over 1.6 million points.

What he was even more confused about was that he was given a Rank-A Dynasty member authorization albeit having participated in a Rank-D trial.

"What's happening? Could the Dynasty member authorization have something to do with the trial points?"

"Indeed, it's related to the trial points." Although Bloody could not see the system notification Lin Huang read, it took over the subject anyway. "Liang Hao and the rest have a related memory on this. The participants will only pass if they obtain more than 1,000 points. Otherwise, it's futile even if they get first place in the trial after staying for a month in the trial space. However, the participants who pass the trial will only be given Rank-D Dynasty member authorization.

"As the points go up, the trial qualification will be classified 'Good' as long as the points exceed 10,000 and a Rank-C Dynasty member authorization will be granted. Those who obtain even higher points will qualify for 'Outstanding' as long as the points exceed 100,000 and the person will be given a Rank-B Dynasty member authorization.

"However, nobody knows if one would attain higher authorization if they obtain more points than that. The highest Liang Hao and the rest have in their memories is Rank-B authorization."

The related information appeared in Lin Huang's head after Bloody reminded him.

Although the three chiefs had no information about the Rank-A authorization, it was easy for him to figure the reason he had obtained the Rank-A authorization from the available information. It should be the reason he accumulated more than 1 million points and was graded Perfect.

After solving his doubt, Lin Huang put aside the Dynasty member authorization temporarily while proceeding to digest the information Bloody had sent.

The three chiefs returned with glory a few minutes after he was done digesting the information.

They brought back the dead bodies and loot of the three men who refused to join the feast.

"The three of them are on imperial-level purple gold-rank. Two of them have similar abilities with the regional chiefs while one has an ability that's comparable to the chiefs," reported the Undead Styx through Liang Hao.

"It's a good thing that the undead army has three more outstanding fighters now!" Lin Huang nodded while smiling and putting the loots away in his Emperor's Heart Ring.

The Undead Styx spent some time to resurrect the three imperial-level purple gold-ranks one after another.

By then, all of the convicts were dead and had become members of the undead army.

"We should've already done everything we need to in this trial space. There's nothing that we left out. Am I right?" Lin Huang held his head down and asked Bloody that was in his sleeve. He could not think of anything that had not been done.

"You're the only participant left and all the convicts have become part of the undead army." Bloody thought about it and said, "As for the plunder, we've searched through all the accommodation of the 4,000 participants and 100,000 people. We didn't leave anything behind in the treasuries of the regions and zones. Even a few mini treasuries that a few regional chiefs squirreled away didn't escape from the Undead Styx's mind-reading. We've got everything."

"If we have to look for things that we haven't searched, we're left with the hundreds of local monsters. Most of them are baby beasts with limited combat strength. Moreover, they're all carnivorous monsters with little potential to elevate." Bloody had learned about the local monsters from Liang Hao and the rest's memory. It knew every single detail of each monster.

"Which means there are no more benefits that I can gain from this place." Lin Huang pouted when he heard that. He had little interest in those monsters that had low combat strength and little potential to elevate.

"Then, there's no longer any reason for us to stay," Lin Huang declared and he recalled the Undead Styx before recalling Bloody back to card form after that.

As the crowd at Tongtian Peak foot vanished all of a sudden, Lin Huang was the only person left at the empty place.

"Send me out then."

Lin Huang's body was wrapped in a ring of golden light as soon as he said that. The golden sphere then shot into the clouds at the speed of light and vanished completely.

Not long after Lin Huang disappeared, a tremor shook the trial space out of the blue. Two silhouettes, one skinny and one plump, walked out of a crack.

The duo had a rather perplexed expression on their faces as they scanned through the entire trial space with their Divine Telekinesis.

"What's happening? Where are the convicts?"

"There's not even a single participant either."

"Is there surveillance?"

"There used to be, but it was removed later on. It was said that a female leader came to check on the trial space many years ago, and the higher management was afraid that she would see obscene things, so they removed many surveillance cameras in the prison. They didn't put it back after that."

"So, how are we supposed to find out what that participant Lin Huang did in this trial space?"

"Looking at the current situation, we can report that he killed all of the participants and convicts, then took all of the corpses with him."

"It doesn't sound credible at all…"

"Why don't you make something up then?"

"Err, let's just report what you said then."

Chapter 971: Was Chan Dou Attacked?!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang realized he was still in the hotel in Wanbao City when he opened his eyes after getting out of the trial space.

The trial that should have gone on for a month ended early. It only lasted for 12 days.

Although he did not experience any elevation in his combat strength at all, Lin Huang was satisfied with the trial results.

The biggest reward was none other than the 100,000-strong undead army and the information about the tens of thousands of mini worlds and great worlds retrieved from the undead army's souls.

The various cultivation methods were the second best. The information in the memories broadened Lin Huang's view greatly. It made him realize that the gravel world he was currently in was just the equivalent of a rookie village in a game.

"I wonder if Yang Ling can unlock the space equipment from other great worlds and mini-worlds. If he can't, I'll have to get someone from the great world to unlock them." Lin Huang thought that the journey into the trial space was worth it as he thought about the hundreds of thousands of space equipment that were waiting to be unlocked in his Emperor's Heart Ring.

He put the Dynasty member matter aside at the moment.

Within less than ten seconds after he returned from the trial space, the Emperor's Heart Ring in his hand began vibrating as soon as he reconnected to the network and signal.

He clicked on the communication page and immediately took a look.

"Why did Jian Fei call me?" Lin Huang saw a couple of call requests and messages the Heaven Alliance deputy chief Jian Fei had sent a week ago as soon as he opened the communication page.

He began reading the messages one after another.

The first two messages were about Jian Fei asking Lin Huang to contact Chan Dou since his attempt was to no avail and he was busy working on something. The two messages sent following that were links and screenshots from some news. He even asked Lin Huang to contact him as soon as he saw his messages.

Lin Huang's pupils shrunk when he saw the few screenshots of the news.

"Chan Dou has been attacked? Someone abducted him! Nobody knows if he's still alive…"

"Who did this? Why did they attack Chan Dou?"

Lin Huang's expression was rather grim after reading the news via the links.

Chan Dou had been taking care of him all this time, so Lin Huang treated him as a friend. Otherwise, he would not have shared the ancient cultivation methods with him.

"Could the cultivation methods have leaked and the Union Government sent people to do this?" Lin Huang shook the idea off a moment after it flashed through his mind.

Knowing Chan Dou's character, there should not be anyone who would find out that he had obtained the cultivation methods apart from Lin Huang. It was quite impossible for the Union Government to find out about it within such a short period of time. Furthermore, the Chan Clan was a powerful family in Division 1. Even if the Union Government found out, the possibility of them attacking Chan Dou directly was low. The most they would do was just to prod the Chan Clan for that.

Lin Huang thought about it and called Jian Fei back eventually since he could not figure anything out.

Jian Fei picked up the phone as soon as the video call request only went on for two rings.

"I've finally reached you!" Looking at his face that was initially plump, Jian Fei had lost weight.

"I've been doing closed-door cultivation and just got out today." Lin Huang nodded. "I've read about the chief. Is there any updates about his attack from your side?"

"I've been getting everyone to search for related information, but we haven't found many useful ones. We only know it was two white-robed men who attacked him."

"White robes? Could it be the Saints?" Lin Huang thought of the Saints right away when he heard about the white robes.

"Shouldn't be them. They had no cross on their faces." Jian Fei shook his head. "Moreover, the Saints' headquarters isn't in Division 1. They wouldn't have the guts to offend Chan Clan in Division 1. The Chan Clan has demigods guarding their home and many members who are working for the Union Government. Underground organizations that aren't stupid won't offend them easily."

"You said they have no cross on their faces, so did anyone see the attackers' faces?" Lin Huang asked again.

"The chief was attacked at Sun City's black market. Although the attack was shielded with a demigod relic, two people from the Genius Union happened to be at the black market before it happened. They know the chief and just when they were going to greet him, they saw the two white-robed men walking towards him before the three of them disappeared. A few minutes later, the chief was nowhere to be seen when the two white-robed men reappeared."

"The Union Government's intelligence system retrieved the two white-robed men's facial recognition outline and matched their databank, but they couldn't find anyone that matches the face."

"It's obviously a plot. They must've disguised themselves before they attacked." Lin Huang nodded after he listened. The possibility of finding the attackers based on the two faces was low.

"Oh yeah, why did you look for the chief earlier? Is it solved yet?" Lin Huang asked again.

"Jiang Rui has elevated to imperial-level. His deputy chief position is vacant now. I wanted to discuss picking another deputy chief with the chief," Jian Fei told Lin Huang what he had been dragging out for a week.

Jiang Rui was one of the Heaven Alliance deputy chiefs but Lin Huang had never seen him before. The latter happened to be in a ruins in Division 1, attempting to break through to imperial-level when Lin Huang was promoted to deputy chief. Chan Dou and the rest could not find him, so he did not join the meeting during which Lin Huang was promoted to deputy chief.

Lin Huang nodded as he listened. Chan Dou had mentioned Jiang Rui to him before.

"The chief suggested that Gu Fei replace Jiang Rui as deputy chief earlier. Although Gu Fei's a supreme genius, she's only on immortal-level rank-8 now. I'm a little concerned that she can't convince the people."

Chan Dou had told him about Gu Fei before. The reason she was stuck on immortal-level rank-8 was that she was a psychic, so it was even more difficult for her to look for Life Lamp monsters to elevate herself. However, when it came to abilities, she was just as powerful as other immortal-level rank-9 Heaven Alliance supreme geniuses.

"I think we should follow what the chief said. Gu Fei has a powerful ability. Her elevating to immortal-level rank-9 is just a matter of time." Lin Huang gave his opinion. "Moreover, her appointment as deputy chief could unite the current female Heaven Alliance members. It could attract more female members to join too. It's a good thing for the Heaven Alliance's development in the long run."

"The other organizations such as the Divine Alliance are watching us. We can't drag this new deputy chief appointment any longer. Gu Fei isn't a rookie. Getting a headstart as a deputy chief should fast track her faster than me. They can come to me if they think she's not convincing."

"Also, since the chief isn't around now, I think based on Brother Jian's experience, he is the best to take the chief position temporarily. We should spend some time closing the decision of the appointment of the acting chief and new deputy chief these few days. I'll support you in your work with all my might."

"Great, I'll contact the rest and organize a meeting as soon as I can. I'll let you know once I've gotten the confirmed date." Jian Fei nodded immediately. He did not expect Lin Huang to be so easy that he handed the acting chief position to him directly.

Lin Huang smiled while shaking his head after ending the call with Jian Fei.

To Lin Huang, who was in touch with all sorts of information about Dynasty, the Genius Union was just a place for kids playing the most. Apart from its resources that were not too shabby, the benefit of it was its people relation. The position as the chief of the Heaven Alliance position was similar to a kindergarten class monitor to him.

He knew Jian Fei wanted to be the acting chief. He was not interested in being deputy chief, so he might as well just release the position and get Gu Fei to take the place as deputy chief.

He knew nothing about Gu Fei, but he believed Chan Dou's taste. Moreover, without the newly appointed deputy chief, he figured Jian Fei would disturb him every few days.

For the development of the Heaven Alliance and him being more relaxed with their responsibilities, it was necessary for him to get Gu Fei who Chan Dou had made positive comments on to take the position.

Chapter 972: Love Makes Us Blind

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After settling Jian Fei's matter, Lin Huang noticed that Tang Xu from the Wanbao Auction had called him twice on the communication page. He also sent Lin Huang two messages.

From the messages he skimmed through, Tang Xu wanted him to contact his "demigod master" for him.

He took out the Emperor's Heart Ring that he always used to contact Tang Xu while disguising himself as a demigod.

A couple of notifications chimed as soon as he took out the Emperor's Heart Ring.

He opened the communication page to see four missed calls and three messages from Tang Xu. He could not help smirking after reading them.

Two demigods went to the Wanbao Auction separately ten and eight days ago, stating their interest in the god relic Ba Huang that had been auctioned earlier. They were willing to trade that with God Figurines.

However, Tang Xu had returned the god relic to Lin Huang, so he could not sell it even if he wanted to. Feeling helpless, he called Lin Huang to get the inventory. However, he failed to contact him since he happened to be in the Royal Trials.

"I'll finally have the last two God Figurines!" Lin Huang disguised as the demigod as usual immediately and called Tang Xu after making sure that everything was fine.

"Sir, I've finally managed to contact you!" Tang Xu exclaimed in excitement as soon as the call was connected.

"I brought my disciple into the ruins, so I'm calling you back a few days late." Lin Huang nodded expressionlessly.

"No wonder I couldn't contact the both of you."

"Noted on Ba Huang. I'll get my disciple to bring it to you within two days. You can contact him directly after the deal is done."

After hanging up the call with Tang Xu, Lin Huang used Lin Xie's identity to send Tang Xu a message. "I'll bring the god relic to the Wanbao Auction tomorrow morning."

Tang Xu replied seconds after the message was sent. "Thanks, Brother Lin. I'll arrange the sale of the god relic as soon as possible and I'll contact you as soon the deal's closed."

Lin Huang was elated after talking to Tang Xu. He could not wait to get the God Figurines.

As soon as he obtained the two God Figurines, he would be able to elevate to immortal-level rank-9 and would be just one step away from achieving imperial-level.

After calming himself down a little, Lin Huang recalled that there was still one more thing he had yet to do. He opened his contact book and found a name after some browsing. It was Yang Ling. Without hesitating, he pressed the "call" button.

The video call was connected in less than a single ring.

Lin Huang was stunned to see Yang Ling who was dressed in a neat suit and looked clean-shaven. He even combed his hair which was shining.

"Yang Ling?" He asked rather unsurely.

One must know that Yang Ling always looked messy according to Lin Huang's memory whereby he did not care how he looked at all. He had seen Yang Ling butt naked in video calls more than once. He even saw him having sex with women before. He could not get used to seeing him dressed so smart and dapper.

"Don't I just look handsome?" Yang Ling asked rather proudly.

"Did you get plastic surgery?" Lin Huang teased while smiling.

"Why the f*ck would I need plastic surgery? Take a good look! These are real." Yang Ling inched closer to the screen and squeezed his chin, then his nose. "I'm an authentic, handsome man."

"Alright, alright. Which part of your body have I not seen? Don't come so close. I can see your nose hair. It hurts my eyes."

Yang Ling retreated a distance away and projected his own screen to check his nostrils out.

"Alright, stop messing around. Are you still with Ms. Hong?" Lin Huang could not help but ask. He still remembered seeing Hong Zhuang by Yang Ling's side the last time.

"Ms. Hong? You won't be calling her that for long. Ahem, you should call her Madam Yang soon." Yang Ling grinned joyfully. "I'm thinking of proposing to her next month on an auspicious day."

"You've only known her for a few months, am I right? Are you sure you want to marry her?" Lin Huang was almost speechless. He knew Hong Zhuang's past very well. Although Yang Ling was a traveler like him, he was afraid that he was no match for this woman when it came to manipulation.

"I'm sure and I guarantee it!" Yang Ling nodded vigorously. "I've never had such a certain feeling with any woman in my life. This is my first time wanting to spend the rest of my life with a woman. If I miss this opportunity, I might not have such a feeling for any other women in the future."

"But do you know enough about her? What if she has a past that nobody knows about?" Lin Huang began hinting vaguely.

However, Yang Ling did not notice that at all. "Who doesn't have a past? My past isn't clean either. We'll let whatever happened in the past pass. Why should we dwell on it? I like her now, and that's enough."

Lin Huang did not want to say more since Yang Ling was so determined to be with Hong Zhuang.

"Alright then, let's get down to business."

"Tell me how many rings do you have this time?" Yang Ling asked directly.

"The situation now's a little different…" Lin Huang lowered his voice. "I want to ask if you can unlock storage equipment from other mini worlds?"

"What?" Yang Ling was stunned and demanded immediately, "How did you get those stuff?"

"Don't ask that. I'm asking you if you can unlock them. It's okay if you can't."

"I've never done this before. I can only tell you when I see the item," replied Yang Ling after some thought. He proceeded to ask right away, "How many are there? Are there many?"

"Quite a number," Lin Huang confirmed.

"Sure, bring them to me and I'll try if I can do it when I come back the month after next."

"The month after next? Where are you now?" Lin Huang asked confusedly.

"I'm traveling with the future Madam Yang in Division 3 now. The earliest I can get back to Division 7 will be the month after next," Yang Ling said while looking proud.

"I'm in Division 3 too. Send me your address. I'll go to you in two days." Lin Huang did not expect Yang Ling to be in Division 3 too.

"That works too." Soon, Yang Ling sent his address after they hung up.

"No. A17 foothold Crow City? That's the Purple Crow's territory!" Reading the address Yang Ling sent, Lin Huang could not help but frown. "What's Hong Zhuang trying to do?"

Lin Huang thought of reminding Yang Ling to be careful. After all, both of them were travelers from Earth and they had known each other for more than two years now. He could not watch him just fall into trouble like that. However, he eliminated the plan after thinking about it. Now that Yang Ling was high on pheromones and had completely lost his mind, he would not listen to him no matter what he said. On the contrary, he would suspect that Lin Huang was sowing discord between him and Hong Zhuang.

Love did not only make a woman stupid; the same applied to men. They would be even more foolish than women.

In Yang Ling's eyes now, Hong Zhuang was beautiful and in the right no matter what she did. He could not see what she was hiding, or rather, he chose to ignore the existing problems she might have.

"Forget it. I'll see what to do when I meet him in two days. I'll only tell him about Hong Zhuang if it's necessary. Whether he believes or not, that's not out of my control."

After breakfast the next morning, Lin Huang departed for the Wanbao Auction leisurely.

Just when he entered the entrance, a female attendant, who had outstanding features, welcomed him with a wide smile.

"Mr. Lin, my boss asked me to bring you to the guest lounge. Please follow me."

Lin Huang nodded and followed her. They passed the crowd toward the guest lounge.

At the entrance of the lounge, she swiped her work pass which was projected onto the wall and opened the door. "Mr. Lin, my boss will be here right away. Would you like tea, coffee, or something else?"

Lin Huang noticed a coffee machine in the guest lounge. He said carelessly, "Black coffee, please. Thanks."

"Sure, please give me a minute," she said to Lin Huang while her hands moved to make the cup of coffee. "The fruits just came in this morning and we've just washed them."

"Oh." Lin Huang just noticed a basket of fruits on the coffee table with seven to eight different varieties.

He sat on the couch and picked up a sour cherry, then popped it into his mouth without paying much attention. Sour cherry was a fruit that looked a little like a cherry, but its color was purple like an eggplant. It was seedless and tasted like a combination of cherry and blueberry. There was a faint sourness in the juicy sweetness.

Such a fruit was very expensive to ordinary people as one would cost hundreds of credit points. However, it was affordable to cultivators.

When Lin Huang had just popped two sour cherries into his mouth, Tang Xu opened the door and walked to Lin Huang with a grin.

"Brother Lin, sorry to keep you waiting."

"Not really, I've just arrived." Lin Huang stood up and shook his hand while smiling.

As they sat down, Tang Xu peeped in the direction where the attendant was without talking about the god relic right away. Instead, he began talking about Lin Huang's daily life.

"Brother Lin, it's only been two months and you've already achieved a boost in your combat strength!"

"My Master should own the credit." Lin Huang brought up his fake identity again.

"That's right. I'm envious you have a demigod-level Master!" Tang Xu's longing on his face was authentic. Although he came from a wealthy family, he only had one demigod who was a few generations away from him at home. He did not receive any lessons from the demigod.

"I heard from your Master that you guys went into the ruins earlier?"

"That's right, my Master encountered this private ruins by accident. We went in for a month and just came out yesterday." Lin Huang confirmed what the demigod he disguised as had said to Tang Xu in detail.

"Having a demigod to train you himself is a treatment that we don't even dare to dream about."

The attendant served the coffee that she made to Lin Huang after they chatted for a while.

Smelling the wonderful aroma, Tang Xu ordered one for himself.

The attendant only left the guest lounge after serving Tang Xu's coffee and shutting the door.

Seeing that the attendant had left, Tang Xu could not help but ask while lowering his voice, "Brother Lin, did you bring the god relic?"

Lin Huang smiled and put the coffee mug in his hand down, then took out the god relic spear, Ba Huang, from his storage space.

Tang Xu could not help himself but become excited when he took the god relic. He caressed it softly.

Although it was not his first time seeing Ba Huang, Tang Xu's eyes would still light up whenever he saw a god relic.

"How do you plan to sell it this time?" Lin Huang asked because he wanted to get the God Figurines as soon as possible.

If Tang Xu was planning to organize another auction, the fastest he would be able to obtain the God Figurines would be a month later.

"I can't do an auction this time since the two buyers are in a hurry to get this. Furthermore, we don't have much good stuff in our inventory. I'll just invite the two buyers to talk about it. The buyer who offers the highest price will get it," Tang Xu said, feeling a little helpless. He was more eager to organize an auction to boost his fame, but the situation did not allow him to.

Under normal circumstances, to organize a massive auction like the Wanbao Auction, they would need two to three months or even half a year to collect the items. Even a small-scale auction would require more than a month to prepare the preliminary work.

"I've scheduled to meet them tomorrow morning. We should be able to close the deal before noon if everything goes as planned. I'll contact you right away by then."

Tang Xu's arrangement was exactly what Lin Huang wanted.

"Oh right, did your Master mention if there's anything specific that he wants for the trading items apart from God Figurines?" Tang Xu asked out of the blue.

"He mentioned it once casually. He said the best would be demigod-level soul crystals. If there are none, demigod relics will suffice," Lin Huang thought about it and answered.

"No problem. I'll tell the buyers later." Tang Xu nodded. "Wait for my good news tomorrow."

Lin Huang returned to the hotel after the successful discussion with Tang Xu.

As he calmed himself down, the Emperor's Heart Ring on his hand vibrated all of a sudden just when he was going to practice his sword skills.

He opened the communication page and realized that it was a message from Jian Fei.

"The meeting date has been set at 9.30 a.m. the day after tomorrow. The venue will be the meeting room at checkpoint 63 of the Stairway Tree. Please be there on time!"

Lin Huang replied, "Got it", and began to practice his sword skill.

His mind was occupied with selling the spear, Ba Huang, after breakfast the next morning. He could not even focus on practicing. He put the practice aside directly and looked at the news on the Heart Network and the Hunter Association forum.

An inconspicuous thread on the Hunter Association forum grabbed his attention all of a sudden.

The title of the thread was 'What's The Purple Crow Doing?'. Due to the mention of the Purple Crow on the title, Lin Huang could not help but click on it.

The thread was written by a Hunter Association member. He happened to be on a mission in Division 3's No. A17 foothold. He noticed many Purple Crow members who possessed powerful combat strength showing up in the foothold as a group. Furthermore, more than one group who were on the go, so almost all the members with powerful combat strength were out.

There were less than ten replies on the thread. Basically, nobody took the matter seriously.

However, Lin Huang thought of Yang Ling and Hong Zhuang right away when he saw the thread since both of them were in No. A17 foothold right now. It was clear that Hong Zhuang must have known something about this, there must be an objective that she chose to be in No. A17 foothold now.

"What's that lady thinking?" Lin Huang frowned slightly. He was almost sure that Hong Zhuang's appearance in No. A17 foothold definitely had something to do with the Purple Crow.

Just when Lin Huang was thinking about that, a message popped out suddenly from the communication page on his Emperor's Heart Ring.

Seeing that it was Tang Xu who sent it, he opened the message immediately. "I've closed the deal. The final price was three God Figurines and two demigod-level soul crystals."

Lin Huang was stunned to see the message. 'I have one more God Figurine now?!'

Nonetheless, he accepted the result happily.

No matter whether it was God Figurines or demigod-level soul crystals, those were the items that he urgently needed now.

"Got it. I'll drop by later."

After replying Tang Xu's message, Lin Huang closed the webpage and forum that he was surfing.

To show that he was not eager, Lin Huang did not go to the Wanbao Auction right away. Instead, he went to a cafe near the hotel. He ordered two cups of coffee and snacks that were prepared on the spot. He spent approximately half an hour to finish them and headed to the Wanbao Auction slowly.

Although he took his time, Tang Xu said to him with a smile when he arrived at the auction, "You're quick. I thought tomorrow after lunch would be the earliest you'd come."

"Oh well, my Master's urging me." Lin Huang used the demigod who did not exist to defend himself.

Tang Xu took out the three God' Figurines and two demigod-level soul crystals, then handed them to Lin Huang. He did not forget to remind him, "I hope that Brother Lin and your Master will support us in the September auction."

"Don't worry, my Master loves working with people he's familiar with." Lin Huang smiled while putting the God Figurines and demigod-level soul crystals away.

"Our Wanbao Auction welcomes regular customers like Brother Lin and your Master too."

Chapter 974: Overthrowing All You Ever Knew

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Leaving the Wanbao Auction, Lin Huang could not wait to take the three God Figurines out to observe as soon as he returned to the hotel room.

The first of the three God Figurines was a monster carrying a coffin.

The monster was completely red with muscles bulging all over its body. Its form looked like a fully skinned bullfrog that had just been served from a spicy hotpot. It had faint black sigils on its body and seemed rather human-like since it walked on both feet. However, it had fangs and two horns on its head like a buffalo's. Unlike a human, however, it had hoofs on both feet and sharp claws on its hands like a devil.

There were two thick, black chains on the back of its shoulders that were tied to a black coffin. The coffin was clearly heavy, making its back seem a little crooked from the pressing weight of the coffin.

"This monster is called the Coffin Carrier. It's an Abyssal Protoss that fell from its kind. It's a ninth-rank True God that has mastered the Death Rule," introduced the stone tablet. "I never expected an Abyssal Protoss to turn into a God Figurine when it dies."

"What kind of True Spirit should I visualize?" Lin Huang could not help but inquire.

"There are actually many True Spirits that have mastered Death such as the Death Knight, the Black-robed Death God, the Golden Skeleton, the Immortal Tombstone, the Tabooed Black Coffin, the Crimson-eyed Crow, and the Grimacing Baby Puppet. Although they're all extremely powerful, I personally think the one that has the most spirit and is also the most unique goes to the Death Butterfly."

"The Death Butterfly guards the Yin Yang Gate, and it's the only True Spirit that can travel between the material realm and the spiritual realm freely when it's on true god-level. As long as your soul's still intact, the Death Butterfly can guide you from the spiritual realm back to the material realm."

"Of course, it has flaws too. Its beginner combat strength is no match for True Spirits such as Black-robed Death God and Golden Skeleton. However, its growth potential is outstanding among all True Spirits because it'll be more powerful each time it comes out of its cocoon."

"The Death Butterfly then." Hearing the stone tablet's introduction, Lin Huang decided to pick the Death Butterfly. He had too many God Figurines' Combat Souls that were experts in combat. It would not affect him at all if he had one less.

After confirming the first True Spirit, Lin Huang then looked at the second God Figurine which took on the form of a lady.

The lady wore a thin, purple dress that was almost transparent. She hovered in the air barefoot and she had a beautiful body. However, she had no face or features, only black hair on her head.

Her hair was swaying in the air like countless little snakes that were alive and looked like they were going to attack.

"This monster's called the Hair Demon. It's an evil spirit type of Protoss which was an eighth-rank True God when it was alive. She mastered the Sealing Rule, and her ability's similar to the sealing chains your red-robed skeleton imperial monster has, but she's much more powerful.

"Among the True Spirits that have mastered the Sealing Rule, the one that has the highest compatibility with this Hair Demon would be the Shackle Serpent. The Shackle Serpent's a formidable True Spirit. Among the Protoss, the Medusa Tribe which possesses the most powerful sealing ability obtained their sealing ability from the Shackle Serpent.

"Legend has it that the most powerful Shackle Serpent could imprison the world forever with just one look, freezing the time and space, making it a specimen."

"That's so powerful!" Lin Huang could never imagine any sealing ability to be so powerful that it could do that. He always thought that a sealing ability was just an aiding combat ability.

After settling the second True Spirit, Lin Huang looked at the third God Figurine.

This God Figurine looked like a toy doll with short and small limbs. It also had the face of a clown. The most unique thing about it was its tummy. It was not made of blood and flesh, but a mechanical clock. Besides the hour hand, the minute hand, the second hand, and the timescale could be seen clearly. Even the big and small gear wheels within were clear.

"What an odd creature!" Although Lin Huang had seen all kinds of monsters, the peculiarity of this monster could make the top three because it did not look like a living thing at all. It appeared more like a puppet.

"This is a Time Spirit. It's a unique species among the Protoss with a limited number. It was an eight-rank True God when it was alive and it mastered the Time Rule. It could control the flow of time in a specific area and even stop time."

"Doesn't that mean that True Spirits which master the Time Rule are even mightier?" Lin Huang was very interested in this God Figurine.

"Yes, the Creation Clock is a True Spirit of the same kind. Legend has it that such a True Spirit is the Creation Clock's stopwatch. It could control the life and death of all creations by changing the hour hand on the clock. It could even target the entire world and destroy it.

"Apart from controlling life and time as well as the flow of time, the most powerful Creation Clock in the legend had terrifying abilities including stopping time, turning back time, freezing time and time traveling."

"That sounds compelling!" Hearing the stone tablet's description, Lin Huang suddenly thought that all the three God Figurines were desirable and he could not get rid of any of them.

"What should I do? I want all of them, but I'm only two God Figurines away from elevating to immortal-level rank-9." The extra God Figurine now became a burden for Lin Huang and he was having difficulty choosing now. "Which one should I give up?"

"Why do you have to give up?" At the moment, the stone tablet's voice came to Lin Huang's ears.

"I only need two God Figurines to get to immortal-level rank-9. What else can I do with the extra one if I don't give it up?" Lin Huang retorted back rather confusedly.

"Everyone else can only have nine Combat Souls in one Life Wheel. You have ten Life Wheels. Even if one Life Wheel can only keep one Combat Soul, you could have ten of them, am I right?" asked the stone tablet.

"Err…" Lin Huang could not rebel against the stone tablet's logic at the time being. He thought about it seriously and found that it kind of made sense.

"But my combat strength will elevate a rank up whenever I absorb one God Figurine. Looking at the current situation, my combat strength will reach the limit of immortal-level after absorbing two God Figurines. I'm not sure what will happen if I absorb one more." Lin Huang thought about it and decided to raise his doubt.

"Maybe I should put it this way. The cultivation system in the world you're currently in has its flaws. The limit that you are thinking about isn't the limit if you're looking at it from higher ground," said the stone tablet while smiling.

"Do you mean that immortal-level rank-9 isn't the limit for immortal-level and that there's space to elevate even more?" Lin Huang was stunned and asked immediately.

"I mean there might not be space for elevation in the past, but it's possible under various conditions." The stone tablet fell into silence after that. It did not talk no matter what Lin Huang asked later on.

"There's still immortal-level rank-10 after immortal-level rank-9." What the stone tablet said completely overthrew Lin Huang's knowledge of the current cultivation system. He fell into deep thought.

'My body's different from others. My God Figurines are all True Spirits that I have visualized. True Spirits are a formidable existence. It's impossible for them to share territory with another True Spirit. Therefore, my Life Wheels can't contain many Combat Souls like the rest whereby each Life Wheel can only contain one True Spirit at the most. Even if I were to calculate it based on this, I'd be able to take ten True Spirits in given that I have ten Life Wheels.

'Judging by this logic, it's definitely possible for me to elevate to immortal-level rank-10!'

Chapter 975: Heaven Alliance's Meeting

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although he was not 100% sure that he could elevate to immortal-level rank-10, Lin Huang thought it was 80% possible after comparing the cultivation system from other worlds in his memory.

After confirming that, he regretted not using a few more Life Wheel Storage Cards when he had reached life wheel-level back then. If he had done that back then, he could have obtained a few more Life Wheels with Flawless Cards and he might have been able to elevate to immortal-level rank-20 now.

Recalling that he would be joining the Heaven Alliance meeting tomorrow, Lin Huang put aside his urge to place God Figurines into his Life Wheel at the moment, he put away all three God Figurines.

He quieted his mind down and began practicing his sword skills.

The next morning, Lin Huang only logged onto the Genius Union when it was almost 9.20 a.m. after breakfast and short sword practice.

He was at the Heaven Alliance foothold the last time he logged out, and he now arrived the same place this time. It only took a couple of steps to get him to the meeting room.

Jian Fei was already there when he went into the meeting room. There were six Heaven Alliance higher management members and a lady whose combat strength was only immortal-level rank-8.

Lin Huang nodded to Jian Fei and the rest, but he had his eyes on the lady. It was clear that the lady was the deputy chief candidate that Chan Dou had recommended, Gu Fei.

To be honest, Gu Fei did not look as pretty as Lin Huang imagined. He thought that Chan Dou would recommend a beauty but Gu Fei could not consider a beauty.

Her body looked like a man. She was at least 1.85 meters tall and her frame was slightly bigger than Lin Huang's. She was practically the most muscular one among all nine of them in the meeting room at that moment. Her face was not considered ugly, but it was squarish. If that face had been on a man, it looked pretty charming, but when it was on a lady, it was a little too manly. Most importantly, she shaved her hair so short that one could see her scalp.

If not for her stunning breasts, Lin Huang might not have recognized her as a lady at once.

Noticing that Lin Huang was observing her, Gu Fei stood up to greet him immediately, "Chief Lin, my name's Gu Fei."

"Hi." Lin Huang extended his hand to shake hers. "You can sit down. There's no need for such courtesy."

Jian Fei did not take the main seat. Instead, he sat on the left of the main seat while Lin Huang sat across him directly.

As he took his seat, the remaining two higher management came in.

Since everyone had taken their seats in the meeting room, Jian Fei did not beat around the bush and went right into the subject.

"We hold this meeting today mainly is to solve two issues."

"The first issue would be that some matters that require decision in Heaven Alliance are put aside since the chief went missing. They come to a halt at the moment, the entire Heaven Alliance might be affected if this goes on."

"The second issue would be deputy chief Jiang Rui's elevation to imperial-level. His position's vacant now, we must find someone to take the position as soon as possible. It's something that could affect the organization's operation as well."

"Voice out your opinions right away if you have any."

A young man in the white shirt was the first to speak as soon as Jian Fei was done speaking.

"The chief's just missing, his death isn't confirmed yet. I personally think his position should be vacant. If there are matters that require a decision, the three deputy chiefs would take responsibility by then."

"Xiao Fan, your suggestion's just a short-term solution. It wouldn't work if there's no news of the chief for a long time while his position is vacant. Many organization are watching us Heaven Alliance. My suggestion would be picking an acting chief. If we do that, at least we would have someone in charge," A tanned skin middle-age man voiced a different opinion.

"I agree on Old Xia's opinion. Pick an acting chief doesn't mean that the person would replace the chief. If the chief is back, the acting chief would just resign from his position."

"I understand your point Xiao Fan but you have to consider how realistic the issues are. If the chief's just missing for a short time, indeed, Heaven Alliance could maintain its usual operation with your suggestion but that's not a solution to the issue. What if the chief's away for a long time? Wouldn't this issue be dragged and not solved?"

The fatty sitting next to Lin Huang raised comments on the two people's suggestions.

The man in the white shirt frowned slightly but he did not object further.

"I agree with Old Zhang's suggestion. Looking at Heaven Alliance's current condition, it's necessary that we pick an acting chief to take over," It was the short-haired lady next to the fatty who spoke. She was the only lady among the eight higher management.

The rest remained silent and said nothing.

"Is there anyone else who has a third solution?" Jian Fei asked seeing nobody spoke.

It was silence that responded him.

"Then let's vote on the two proposals. The first proposal would be three deputy chiefs taking the acting chief's responsibility. The second proposal would be picking an acting chief."

"Now those who support the first proposal please raise your hand."

The man in the white shirt was the first to raise his hand as soon as Jian Fei was done speaking. Although he could not convince others, he was firm on his choice.

However, nobody raised their hand apart from him.

"Alright then, those who support the second proposal please raise your hand."

Jian Fei was the first to raise his hand. Later on, six out of the eight higher management raised their hands. Lin Huang was the last to raise his hand.

Jian Fei looked at the man in glasses who did not raise his hand both times.

"I pass." The man in glasses shrugged.

"Gu Fei, are you giving it a pass too?" Jian Fei turned his head and looked at Gu Fei who sat at the far end of the long table.

"Do I have the right to vote?" Gu Fei asked rather surprisedly.

"Of course you do since you're sitting here." Jian Fei nodded.

"Then, I'll choose the first one."

"Alright, it's 2 versus 10. The second proposal wins!" Jian Fei announced the final result.

Among the 11 people present, the two deputy chiefs had two votes while the rest only had one. Gu Fei only had one vote since she had yet to become a deputy chief yet.

"Deputy chief Lin, we'll put the acting chief matter aside at the moment. Let's decide on the third deputy chief so that's it's fairer for the newly appointed deputy chief." Jian Fei skipped to the second issue of the meeting directly and looked at Lin Huang.

Lin Huang nodded to show his agreement.

Jian Fei turned his head to look at everyone and spoke leisurely, "Our previous deputy chief Jiang Rui has elevated to imperial-level, so his position's vacant now. Following the usual procedure, we should submit the list of eligible deputy chief candidates on checkpoint 63, wait for a review and eventually vote.

"However, Chief Chan Dou recommended Gu Fei as Jiang Rui's replacement since the very beginning and Jiang Rui has agreed to it. Therefore, after discussing with deputy chief Lin, we've decided to skip the usual procedure and carry out the chief's order.

"Since Gu Fei's the only deputy chief candidate now, let's vote whether she should take this position. She will pass if the votes surpass half. If the votes are less than half, the third deputy chief's position will only be vacant temporarily. We will recruit other candidates publicly later on for them to go up against Gu Fei for this position.

"Let me make this clear. You have no right to vote this time, Gu Fei," Jiang Fei emphasized intentionally.

Gu Fei nodded without any expression on her face, so Lin Huang could not tell whether she desired the position or not.

"Now, let's vote. Those who agree, please raise your hand!"

Chapter 976: She Really is A Powerful Lady

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As soon as Jian Fei was done speaking, Lin Huang was the first to raise his hand while Jian Fei followed suit.

After the two deputy chiefs raised their hands, the eight higher management hesitated and looked at each other.

The short-haired lady looked at Gu Fei who sat at the far end of the long table and raised her hand.

Since then, the tanned, middle-aged man and the fatty next to Lin Huang raised their hands too.

The remaining five people did not move.

"Since we're done with the voting, I'll announce the result then. Jian Fei glanced at everyone.

"7 voted yes while 5 objected. More than half have agreed!" After announcing the result, Jian Fei looked at Gu Fei with a grin.

"Congratulations to Gu Fei for becoming the Heaven Alliance's third deputy chief!"

Gu Fei stood up to show her gratitude while smiling.

"Since we've selected our third deputy chief, now it's time to go back to our first topic: picking the acting chief!

"We have three deputy chiefs now, which means there are three candidates. Now, everyone will vote among the three candidates to select the acting chief.

"There are 11 people here. Everyone gets one vote, and the same goes to the deputy chiefs. Three candidates can vote for themselves and vote for others."

"Let's write the candidate's name that we're picking down on the paper. Those who don't want to be part of this can submit an empty paper to show that you're giving your vote up," said Jian Fei and gave everyone a piece of white paper the size of a palm.

"Don't peep at the name others are writing down and no discussion is allowed. Write the name of the candidate that you hope to be the acting chief. Those who are done, fold the paper and don't let anybody see what you have written. We will announce the result after everyone has submitted the slip. The name that appears the most will eventually be selected as the acting chief."

Everyone, including Lin Huang, picked up the piece of white paper in their hands and scanned it with their Divine Telekinesis. They found out that this paper blocked detection out to a certain level. Apart from that, there was nothing wrong with the paper.

After confirming that the paper was fine, Lin Huang inserted Life Power into the paper and scrawled Jian Fei's name on it. He then folded it and put it on the table before him.

Jian Fei, who was sitting across Lin Huang, wrote a name without much hesitation and folded it.

In less than half a minute, all 11 of them had written their chosen name down and folded the paper one after another.

"Deputy Chief Gu, please collect everyone's vote for us," Jian Fei instructed Gu Fei since everyone was done.

Gu Fei nodded and picked up her paper before collecting the remaining slips quickly. She then passed them to Jian Fei.

Jian Fei passed the slips to Lin Huang who was sitting across him. "Deputy Chief Lin, you'll announce it."

Lin Huang was a little surprised, but he nodded anyway.

He picked up the bunch of slips and stood up.

It was his name when he opened the first folded slip: Lin Xie.

"Lin Xie, 1 vote."

Lin Huang presented the opened slip to the people then placed it on the table.

He saw his name again when he opened the second folded slip.

"Lin Xie, 2 votes."

He then presented the opened slip to the people again then placed it on the table.

Upon opening the third slip, he could not help but frown when he saw the name. It was his name again.

"Lin Xie, 3 votes."

After putting the stack of opened slips on the table, he picked the fourth one up while scowling slightly.

Finally, it was not his name this time. There was finally a slight relief in his expression.

"Jian Fei, 1 vote."

Since then, Jian Fei's name came up more often.

"Lin Xie, 4 votes."

"Jian Fei, 5 votes."

Jian Fei's votes finally surpassed Lin Huang's when it came down to the last three slips. Lin Huang was much more relieved. He really did not want to take the responsibility as the acting chief, and he did not have the time to look after the Heaven Alliance.

However, his name appeared again when he opened the last second slip.

"Lin Xie, 5 votes."

Lin Huang was a little surprised that it was 5-5 which was a tie.

He had only been a deputy chief for less than a month and hardly did anything usually. He did not even log onto the Genius Union. He had no idea why would so many people vote for him.

Jian Fei looked a little nervous too. It seemed like he did not expect so many people to vote for Lin Huang as well.

Everyone was taken aback by the result too.

Naturally, they knew that Lin Huang had not cheated because they could recognize their own handwriting.

They were left with the last vote that had yet to be revealed. Apart from the person whose slip that was, the rest were anticipating the last reveal with bated breath.

Lin Huang exhaled in relief when he picked up the last slip and saw the name on it. "Jian Fei, 6 votes!"

He showed everyone the last slip after he spoke, "It's 6-5!"

"Congratulations, Chief Jian, for being the acting chief of the Heaven Alliance!"

"Thank you, thank you!" Jian Fei exhaled in relief after seeing the result. He stood up with all smiles and shook Lin Huang's hand. He then thanked everyone.

Although close to half of them had voted for Lin Huang, he accepted the final result anyway.

Nobody was surprised that the newly appointed deputy chief Gu Fei had zero votes.

After a brief conclusion, Jian Fei ended the meeting.

In the meeting room, Jian Fei and the eight higher management logged out one after another.

Just when Lin Huang was going to log out, Gu Fei stopped him. "Deputy chief Lin, can I get your contact details, please?"

"Sure." Lin Huang nodded to agree immediately.

He had recommended Gu Fei so that she could share the burden of the Heaven Alliance. They would be communicating with each other on many matters in the future.

After getting his contact details, Gu Fei asked while smiling, "Why didn't you want to be the acting chief, Deputy Chief Lin?"

"Did I say that?" Lin Huang raised his brow.

"I saw that you were in great relief when you opened the last slip," said Gu Fei with a chuckle.

"Haha, you saw that!" Lin Huang did not bother to deny it. "Maybe I'm a little lazy."

"But I think the Heaven Alliance might advance further if you were to become the acting chief," Gu Fei expressed while smiling.

"You're thinking too highly of me. The reason the Heaven Alliance has achieved what it has today depended on the generations of chiefs managing it as well as the shared effort from the past Heaven Alliance members throughout the hundreds of years. It can't be changed just by relying on one person's ability. If Chief Chan Dou can't do it, neither can I." Lin Huang shook his head. "Moreover, I've never planned to stay on immortal-level since the beginning."

"Shallow water can't keep a real dragon submerged. I understand now." Gu Fei smiled and did not dwell on the subject. "Let's keep in touch. I'll log out now."

As he watched Gu Fei logging out, Lin Huang shook his head and said with a grin, "She really is a powerful lady. Chan Dou's taste really is something!"

Chapter 977: Elevating to Immortal-level Rank-10!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was almost noon when Lin Huang returned to the hotel room after logging out of the Genius Union.

"Since we've solved the matter of the acting chief while Gu Fei should know the reason why I supported her very well, I shouldn't be meeting anyone from the Heaven Alliance within a short period of time." Lin Huang took three God Figurines out from his storage space as he thought about this. "It's about time I elevate my combat strength now."

Lin Huang's Divine Telekinesis turned into three tentacles and latched onto the three God Figurines. After covering the three of them completely, they were pulled into his inner body.

As soon as they were drawn in, the three God Figurines turned into three streams of light without the guidance of his Divine Telekinesis. They then entered the last three Life Wheels and went into the Divine Fire.

The giant Divine Fire mountain in the Life Wheels experienced tremors as soon as the God Figurines entered. They turned into three giant vortexes almost in the blink of an eye while the Divine Fire shrunk rapidly.

At the same time, Lin Huang's Life Power that was initially full in his Life Wheels was absorbed into the vortex. This did not only happen to the three brand new Life Wheels where the God Figurines were, but the other seven Life Wheels also had their Life Power sucked in like a dragon was drinking water greedily.

Approximately an hour passed, and all of the Life Power in Lin Huang's body was sucked dry while the three spheres of Divine Fire penetrated the three God Figurines completely.

A moment later, the three God Figurines seemed to be awoken whereby they had black Divine Fire spurting out of their opened eyes. Their bodies began growing rapidly and they grew from the size of palm to regular size. By then, the God Figurines' eyes were shut again as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.

Circles of Life Power seemed to be spreading out following the three God Figurines' breathing momentum. They began compensating the Life Wheels. After filling all ten Life Wheels up, Life Power began flowing into Lin Huang's meridians, muscles, bones, and soul…

Lin Huang could clearly feel his combat strength growing quickly.

It skyrocketed from the initial immortal-level rank-7 to immortal-level rank-8, and he elevated to immortal-level rank-9 in less than one second. When he reached the peak stage of immortal-level rank-9, he elevated again almost without any obstacle.

"Immortal-level rank-10! I can't believe I can really elevate to immortal-level rank-10!" While he was shocked to see his combat strength stepping into a level that nobody had ever reached, Lin Huang was more than a little excited.

Initially, he thought something that was theoretically possible was not necessarily practical. He was still doubting whether he could elevate to immortal-level rank-10 the very second before he achieved it.

However, it seemed like the cultivation system in this world indeed was like what the stone tablet said —flawed.

"I told you." Naturally, the stone tablet sensed Lin Huang's change in combat strength. "How are you feeling now?"

"I'm feeling great! I feel powerful like never before!" Lin Huang growled shamelessly while swinging his fists. "I knew what you told me is true."

The stone tablet was stunned for a moment before replying, "You're so shameless!"

In reality, elevating to immortal-level rank-10 was not a full elevation to Lin Huang.

He would only consider himself having completed his elevation after visualizing the last three True Spirits and consolidating them into God Figurines' Combat Souls.

However, he did not go for closed-door cultivation to visualize the True Spirits right away.

"There's no rush to visualize the True Spirits just yet. I need more than a month to visualize all three True Spirits. There are some matters that I'd like to settle before this."

After taking a shower and having lunch, Lin Huang returned to the hotel room and opened the communication page leisurely. He looked for the name Hu Lu and tapped the video call button.

Soon, the video call was connected.

A lady in her early 30's whose body was slightly voluptuous appeared in the video. She was Hu Lu from Sweep City's black market.

"How's the progress of the items that I asked for?" Lin Huang did not make any small talk with the lady while diving into the topic right away.

"Mr. Lin, the materials that you asked for are rare. Although you've made your order a few months ago, we've only collected almost half of them. There are a few items that we've no idea what they are up until now. I'm not sure if we can collect everything on your list by this year," Hu Lu admitted helplessly.

"Then, give me the list of the materials that you've already gathered. I'll drop by your place these two days to pick up the stuff." Lin Huang added, "Also, give me a list of materials that you guys think are most difficult to find. I'll find my own way."

"Sure, I'll send it to you later after sorting it out." Hu Lu nodded. She knew there were things that she could not force to happen.

After hanging up the call with Hu Lu, two message notifications came consecutively some ten minutes later.

Lin Huang opened the communication page. The two messages only had titles and attachments. There was nothing else in the messages that were both sent by Hu Lu.

Lin Huang summoned Bloody that had already elevated to imperial-level yellow gold-rank and opened the message titled 'List of Materials Collected'.

The human and monster examined at least 100 materials on the entire list thoroughly. Lin Huang could not help but ask Bloody, "Are the materials enough to make a complete set?"

"Our luck isn't that bad. There are enough materials to make two complete sets," Bloody responded while smiling. "They're for Charcoal and the Herculean King."

"Our luck isn't bad indeed." A smile was revealed at the corner of his eyes that he could not hide. "I thought we might not even be able to make one."

Apart from using five Advance Cards, some rare materials were needed for a legendary-level Monster Card to elevate to mythical-level.

Lin Huang had begun collecting those materials before the New Year, but the progress was slower than he expected since more than three months had passed.

"Is there any set that isn't lacking too many materials?" asked Lin Huang again.

"Tyrant lacks two items while Bai lacks four. The rest lack more. I'm figuring it's difficult to collect all of them within such a short period of time." Bloody knew that Lin Huang had asked so so that that he could find other ways to collect the materials.

"What do Tyrant and Bai lack?"

"Tyrant lacks a star core and a god relic ax. Bai lacks a ton of demigod's blood and ten demigod souls."

"I remember the two items that Tyrant lacks are available on the Stairway Mall of the Genius Union. Meanwhile, among the four items Bai needs, there should be three items available on the Stairway Mall too, including the demigod's blood. For the demigod's soul, I'm afraid we can only obtain that from killing demigod-level monsters." Lin Huang raised his brow as he rattled on.

After closing the first list, Lin Huang tapped open the second.

There were not many items on this list — only over 30 of them. The demigod souls Bai needed was included too.

Lin Huang thought about it and sent the list to Tang Xu from the Wanbao Auction after removing a minority of items that could be found on the Stairway Mall.

"Help me get as many of these items on this list as you can."

Tang Xu replied the message almost immediately, "Some of them are difficult to get while the rest are doable, but I need time."

"Sure, just collect as many as you can," Lin Huang replied.

Tang Xu replied with a 'no problem' emoji immediately.

The reason why Lin Huang did not send the full list to the Wanbao Auction was that the level of confidentiality at the auction was not as high as the black market. Moreover, the list Lin Huang had given the black market was not the full list to begin with. Bloody had taken a portion of the material that could be found at the market out while only listing those that were difficult to find. They only formed half of the total items needed.

The reason it did that was that Lin Huang was not sure if those materials could elevate his monsters without using the Advance Cards.

The list was sufficient to make all the organizations on the entire continent to go wild even if it could elevate legendary-level monsters to pseudo-mythical-level. That was something Lin Huang wanted to avoid the most.

Chapter 978: Returning to Sweep City Again

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Soon, Lin Huang found the few items that Tyrant and Bai needed for their elevation as he browsed the Stairway Mall. He put them into the shopping cart one after another.

The god relic ax that Tyrant needed was the most expensive one. Its original price was 80 billion Stairway points, but luckily for Lin Huang, he had a 40% discount because he was the deputy chief of the Heaven Alliance, so he purchased it at 48 billion points.

The second most expensive item was the ton of demigod's blood Bai needed which was originally priced at 50 billion Stairway points.

The third most expensive was the star core which originally cost 30 billion Stairway points.

He purchased everything at a 40% discount, spending a total of 105 billion Stairway points. By then, he was only left with slightly more than 20 billion Stairway points.

"It's almost time I drop by Sweep City."

Since Lin Huang had gathered the two items Tyrant lacked, it meant he would have three complete sets for elevating after he collected the materials at the black market.

As he arrived at Sweep City after passing through the dimensional portal, Lin Huang flew into the sky and headed toward the black market.

It took him a couple of minutes to get to the black market and he headed to the store where Hu Lu was.

He spoke before the attendant could ask, "I'm looking for Hu Lu."

"Please follow me." The attendant soon brought Lin Huang to the entrance of the room Hu Lu was in. "This is Sister Hu Lu's office."

"Thanks." Lin Huang went in directly.

Hu Lu was stunned to see Lin Huang come in. She clearly sensed that he had had a significant boost in his combat strength. A gleam of surprise flashed through her eyes, but soon she looked normal again and greeted while smiling, "Mr. Lin, you're here so soon. I thought you'd only be here tomorrow at the earliest."

"I happen to be free in the afternoon, so I came," Lin Huang explained. He did not plan to continue the small talk and went right into the topic. "Are the stuff ready?"

"It's ready. Please check." Hu Lu nodded while smiling. She took a temporary storage ring out from her Emperor's Heart Ring and handed it to Lin Huang.

Lin Huang took the ring and scanned it with his Divine Telekinesis. Soon, he checked and confirmed that the list was correct.

"The materials are correct. How much are they?"

"The total is one trillion, two hundred thirty-seven billion and one hundred million. We're giving you a 20% discount which makes it 989.68 billion. We've also rounded it up for you, so the final price is 980 billion," Hu Lu mentioned the price leisurely, "I'm sending you the detailed price list right now."

Lin Huang received the message just when she was done speaking.

He just looked at it roughly after opening the message instead of going through it thoroughly. He knew that Hu Lu would not fake something like this since he was a valuable client here. Moreover, they had been serving him for some time now and would not do something so petty to him.

After transferring the amount by scanning the code, Lin Huang put the temporary storage ring with the materials away into his Emperor's Heart Ring.

"Please continue to gather the remaining materials. I'll drop by again to pick them up when I have the time in the future."

"Sure, we'll inform you as soon as we've gathered all materials."

Lin Huang nodded and stood up in an attempt to leave, but Hu Lu stopped him.

"Mr. Lin, there's one more thing."

Lin Huang turned around in surprise. "What's the matter?"

"About the attack on the Heaven Alliance chief Chan Dou that you asked us to check a few days ago, we have news that' might not really be considered news." Hu Lu lowered her voice.

"What do you guys have?" Lin Huang turned around and placed both his hands on the back of the chair he was sitting on earlier.

"According to our intel, the one who attacked Chan Dou isn't any major organization that we already know. It should be a new, unknown organization. It might've been founded these few years. It could also be a minor organization that disguised themselves well in the past. We've no idea who exactly did it, so this news is complimentary for you.

"However, it's not the first time. A similar case has happened almost three years ago. Chan Dou's case is already the eighth case. All victims have the same characteristic as Chan Dou whereby all of them are high-level immortal-level supreme geniuses with stunning combat ability."

"You guys have no clue about this organization at all?" Lin Huang asked immediately.

"Not at all. If it has been done by any of the organizations that we're familiar with, we could tell with the tiniest trace. All major underground organization members have different behaviors, so it's easy for us to identify them. Especially imperial-level powerhouses, we know all of them from the different organizations as well as their techniques, so it would be futile no matter how they disguise themselves. To outsiders like you, it might be hard for you to tell someone apart as soon as they change their face and body shape, but to us who are in underground organizations, we can tell who that is in one glance.

"However, the organization that attacked Chan Dou isn't from any of the organizations that we know. They're hiding very well. Moreover, looking at the ability they've revealed so far, they possess at least a first or second-rate ability."

"Thanks for the information you've provided." Lin Huang nodded to show gratitude.

Clearly, Hu Lu did not know much, so she only provided him a rough direction.

Hu Li spoke to him through voice transmission as Lin Huang turned around and walked to the stairs.

"Please be extra careful too, Mr. Lin. Following the conclusion that we currently have, you fit the predator's target condition entirely. You might be on their hunting list."

Lin Huang stopped walking and thanked Hu Lu. Then, he walked out of the premise with a faint smirk on his lips.

He only mumbled to himself while smiling as he walked out of the store, "I can't wait for those people to come to me."

Lin Huang summoned dimensional portal after walking out of the black market alley and stepped into it.

The other side of the dimensional portal was not Wanbao City but the entrance to the second layer of the Abyss Brink.

He went right into the entrance, allowing his body to fall freely.

Approximately ten minutes later, he finally arrived at the second layer of the Abyss Brink.

He went there because of the major commotion elevating triple mutated monsters to quadruple mutated would bring. The elevation of Charcoal and the rest would not gain any attention from humans if it was done in forbidden lands such as the Abyss Brink and the Peaceful Ocean.

The condition of the Peaceful Ocean was too complicated whereby there might be demigod-level monsters hiding in the ocean at all times. It was not a viable place for the monsters to elevate. Even though Lin Huang was not afraid of demigods now, he might not be able to protect them from being attacked if the elevation aura of Charcoal and the rest attracted a couple of demigod-level monsters.

Meanwhile, it was a different story for the second layer of the Abyss Brink since the most powerful monsters here were only imperial-level yellow gold-rank which was the same as Charcoal and the rest. It was nothing to Lin Huang; he could handle them no matter how many came his way. Moreover, like the Peaceful Ocean, this was a dangerous place where nobody would come. Even if somebody sensed their aura, they might avoid them as far as they could.

"Bloody, pick a place that's far away from areas populated by humans." Lin Huang summoned Bloody as soon as his feet touched the ground of the second layer of the Abyss Brink.

Chapter 979: Three Golden Eggs

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Over an hour later, Bloody sent its Leech Pods to cover the entire second layer of the Abyss Brink.

"Looking at the whole second layer of the Abyss Brink at the moment, I could only find 35 people while most of them are in the southern region. I don't see anyone within thousands of kilometer radius around the northwestern side close to the third layer of the entrance. There are a few imperial-level monsters over there, but they're no threat to us. I think that's the best place for Charcoal and the rest to elevate."

"We can't do it in the northwestern side." However, Lin Huang rejected the suggestion right away. "It's too close to the third layer of the entrance and there might be human imperial-level powerhouses entering and exiting any time. They might come to check it out if they sense the commotion."

"Then, we're only left with the northeastern side, but there's a team of five hunting over there now. They're all high-level immortal-levels," Bloody explained the reason why it had not picked the northeastern region earlier.

"It's alright. We can get Grimace to cover up the commotion of the elevation with his illusion if they're only on immortal level." Lin Huang already thought of a plan. "Let's go for the northeastern region then."

"There's a valley that's not bad in the northeastern region." Bloody marked the coordinates down as it spoke.

Although he could not set the coordinates with his Emperor's Heart Ring at the Abyss Brink, the third layer of the Abyss Brink had been explored countless times and he could purchase a detailed map with money.

Studying the coordinates Bloody had marked, Lin Huang summoned Thunder right away and sat on its back with Bloody.

He patted Thunder's neck. "To the northeastern region."

Thunder flapped its wings and rose into the sky rapidly. It brought Lin Huang tens of thousands of meters above the sky in the blink of an eye. It then flapped its wings again in the sky and sped toward the northeastern region at high speed like an arrow.

Though Thunder was quick, it took half an hour for it to bring Lin Huang to the valley Bloody had marked.

Under Bloody's guidance, Thunder landed deep in the valley.

Hopping off Thunder, Lin Huang patted Thunder's beak affectionately. "Do whatever you want now, even hunting, but don't create trouble with the humans. Also, don't go too far. I need you later."

Thunder nodded right away. It was so sick of being in card form. Naturally, it was elated to have the opportunity to move freely. It flapped its wings, rose into the sky and disappeared in the next second as if it was afraid that Lin Huang would back out on his words.

Seeing Thunder disappear, Lin Huang shook his head and smiled before summoning three Monster Cards including Charcoal, Tyrant, and the Herculean King. The three imperial monsters showed themselves as soon as the cards were crushed.

Charcoal glanced around after being summoned and asked rather curiously, "Where are the enemies?"

Tyrant and the Herculean King were puzzled too.

"Are you giving us any snacks?" Charcoal leaned its big head toward Lin Huang.

Lin Huang caressed Charcoal's head and said casually while smiling, "I didn't let you guys out to fight or give snacks out this time, but I'm going to do something that you guys have been waiting for."

"Ice cream?!" Tyrant was the first to answer. He was practically drooling as soon as he said that.

"Grilled fish?!" Charcoal was stunned for a moment and asked while widening its eyes.

The Herculean King hesitated and asked with a little uncertainty, "Is it durian?"

"I've told you guys it's not snacks," Lin Huang said helplessly while covering his face.

The three monsters clearly had disappointment written on their faces when they heard Lin Huang emphasizing that he was not giving snacks out.

"You guys are elevating to quadruple mutation." Bloody that was standing aside finally could not help but blurt it out.

The three imperial monsters were astonished to hear that.

"Are we really elevating?" Charcoal became excited all of a sudden.

"I've only gathered enough materials for elevation for the three of you, so I'm elevating you first instead of gathering all materials."

"But, Master, you're still on immortal-level. Wouldn't you be unable to summon us after we've elevated?" Tyrant asked immediately. They knew Kylie had been sealed since her elevation.

"It's alright. I'm already on peak-stage immortal-level now, so it shouldn't take long for me to break through to imperial-level," Lin Huang explained, "Xiao Hei's authorization will be activated as soon as I elevate to imperial-level. I think I will take two to three months at the most."

"Don't worry about it. I'll be the last to elevate, so I'll take good care of Master," Bloody knew what Tyrant was worried about, so it comforted it.

"You guys elevating to quadruple mutation and mythical-level will be a great help for me. I personally hope that I can elevate all of you to mythical-level while I'm still on immortal-level. If that happens, all of you would have your combat strength boosted as soon as I elevate to imperial-level. I won't have to spend more time collecting materials. So, let's not drag it out further. Go ahead with the elevation when we have the materials instead of waiting for me to get to imperial-level. Understand?"

"Understand!" Tyrant and the rest chanted in unison. The three of them objected no further after hearing what Lin Huang said.

"Alright then, Tyrant, you will go first." Lin Huang waved at Tyrant. Tyrant saw his signal and walked over.

Following the condition at the back of the card, Lin Huang took the materials for elevating and five Advance Cards out.

"Hold the god relic ax. Put this star core into your heart and drink this bottle of Spirit Lava."

Although the order sounded suicidal, Tyrant followed Lin Huang's order to a T without hesitation.

After waiting for Tyrant put all the materials into his body more than half an hour later, Lin Huang crushed the five Advance Cards in his hand and pointed at Tyrant that was kneeling on the ground, shaking.

The five Advance Cards turned into five golden beams and entered Tyrant's body which calmed quickly while the god relic ax in his hand was absorbed into his body as well. He sat leaning against a huge mountain peacefully as his body began to grow rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, he regained his normal size whereby his height reached over 30,000 meters. Even though he was sitting down, he was more than 10,000 meters tall, two folds taller than the mountain behind him.

Later on, he seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep while he shut his eyes slowly. A golden cocoon layer soon consolidated on the surface of his body.

As the cocoon was completely consolidated, Tyrant turned into a colossal golden egg.

The entire process went on for over an hour. Lin Huang was relieved when the golden egg was formed.

"Seems like the condition for elevating that Xiao Hei gave is pretty reliable."

"Looking at Tyrant's reaction, this elevation process might be uncomfortable. Please bear with it as much as you can." Lin Huang turned around to look at Charcoal and the Herculean King.

Charcoal retracted his head as Lin Huang smiled upon seeing his fear and waved at the Herculean King. "Herculean King, you're up next."

The Herculean King nodded and walked up to him. Lin Huang took out the materials for the Herculean King.

"First, put the Titan Heart into your heart. Secondly, drink the entire bottle of demigod-level Dragon Whale's blood."

After spending over half an hour putting all the materials into the Herculean King's body, Lin Huang crushed another five Advance Cards. They turned into five golden beams and penetrated the Herculean King's body.

Soon, the Herculean King's body began to grow insanely. It regained its usual height of 3,000 meters and turned into a golden egg too.

Charcoal was a little worried watching Tyrant and the Herculean King going through the process of putting the materials into their body. However, figuring that he would elevate after a moment of torture, he went up anyway.

"The first step, integrate this Star Fire into your body. Secondly, eat these 36 fire-element crystals." Lin Huang took the materials out for Charcoal one after another. What surprised it was that he did not feel like the process was torturous, just that some of them made him want to throw up.

Before it could experience any other feeling, Lin Huang had crushed five Advance Cards and they went into his body.

Soon, Charcoal regained its usual size, growing to more than 30,000 meters long. It fell asleep leaning next to Tyrant on the mountain.

It was almost four hours later when Charcoal turned into a golden egg.

Night had fallen in the Abyss Brink.

Noticing that the sky had turned dark, instead of resting, Lin Huang summoned two God Figurines' Combat Souls, the Divine Sun Tree, and the Enchanted Fairy as well as Grimace.

"Grimace, shield the area around here with your illusion skill. Divine Sun Tree and Enchanted Fairy, both of you will guard the trio's elevation. I'll be away for one to two days to hunt for Bai's demigod's soul."

After coming up with the arrangement, Lin Huang summoned Thunder and hopped onto its back. "Go to the northwestern region, the third layer of the entrance to the Abyss Brink!"

Chapter 980: Python-belly Poison Frog

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was midnight in the underground of some luxurious mansion in Division 1.

A big, muscular man watched a naked man whose limbs and neck was bound with thick shackles in a room through a transparent window.

If anyone from the Heaven Alliance was there, they should be able to recognize this person who was tied up in one glance. He was the chief of the Heaven Alliance who was attacked and had gone missing earlier, Chan Dou.

He was fully naked and almost every inch of his skin was wounded. It was clear that he had been tortured in an unimaginable way recently.

There was a black gooey monster clinging to his head at the moment. It looked like a pile of swamp mud that had come alive. Nobody knew what it was doing to Chan Dou. No matter what, it was stuck to Chan Dou's head and could not be get rid of.

Chan Dou was struggling with all his might in the room. The veins on his neck and forehead were bulging and he was shrieking in devastation as if he was suffering extreme pain that was unbearable for humans.

The big man had no change of expression on his face as he watched Chan Dou struggling in pain. He turned his head to look at the old gray-haired man that was working on a device aside.

"I've given you guys half a month. How much more time do you need to fully purify him?"

"We've used up all the techniques that we have, but this fella has an extremely strong will. Moreover, there's a god that's clinging onto his will in his body. There are only two ways to destroy his will completely. One is to wear his will out slowly while the other is to destroy that god."

"I asked how much more time do you need?" A ferocious gleam flashed through the big man's eyes.

"Three months. Looking at the current progress, we'll need at least three months." The gray-haired old man gave a time limit immediately.

"Three months, that's what you said." The big man glared at the old man. "If you haven't done it in three months, all of you will be sacrificed." He then turned around and left right after he was done speaking.

Just when he walked out of the room, the Emperor's Heart Ring on his left middle finger vibrated. He saw a message when he opened the communication page.

"Someone saw Lin Xie in the second layer of the Abyss Brink. Should we do it?"

The big man grinned slightly and replied with six words: "Find him and bring him back!"

Lin Huang had no idea that his whereabouts had been exposed and that he was being targeted.

However, he had stepped into the third layer of the Abyss Brink at the moment.

"There are too many monsters with a combat strength above imperial-level yellow gold-rank in this layer. My Leech Pods will be discovered easily. There's no way that I could use the map here," Bloody voiced its helplessness once they stepped into the third layer of the Abyss Brink. "But we could hunt for imperial-level monsters first. The local imperial-level monsters should know which area has demigods."

Lin Huang nodded and sensed what kind of monsters were available with his Territory.

Ever since he elevated to immortal-level rank-10, the range of his Territory had expanded to 10 kilometers. However, he found nothing after a while of sensing.

Feeling helpless, Lin Huang summoned Lancelot.

Ever since Lancelot had elevated to imperial-level yellow gold-rank, the range of his Territory had expanded further to 80kilometers now. Since he was on pseudo-mythical-level, the range of his Territory was on par with other imperial-level white gold-rank monsters.

Lancelot soon found a few targets as he heard the commotion after sensing around for a while.

"There are three monsters in the range of my Territory. Two imperial-level crimson gold-ranks and one imperial-level yellow gold-rank."

"Where's the imperial-level yellow gold-rank?" Lin Huang asked, ignoring the presence of the two imperial-level crimson gold-ranks.

"In our 11 o'clock. It's approximately 60 kilometers away from us."

"Let's go!"

Lin Huang moved toward the target as soon as Lancelot reported the location.

Lancelot caught up to him right away.

In less than half a minute, Lin Huang arrived before the imperial-level yellow gold-rank monster Lancelot mentioned.

It was a Crimson Scorpiodemon. Its body was at least 100 meters long and was completely maroon in color. The monster exhibited a mysterious beauty under the radiance of the moonlight.

"Looks like food sent themselves here." The Crimson Scorpiodemon was drooling upon sensing humans invading its territory.

However, its mind went blank while its eyes turned black in the next second.

In less than three seconds, Bloody cast its parasite on this gigantic Crimson Scorpiodemon and turned it into a puppet.

Bloody spoke leisurely after spending a few minutes reading everything in the Crimson Scorpiodemon's head, "There's a demigod monster in the swamp approximately 2,000 kilometers from here in the southeastern direction. It's a Python-belly Poisonous Frog."

Lin Huang had seen the Python-belly Poisonous Frog in the monster guide before.

Such a monster was usually only imperial-level whilst its most powerful two abilities were poison and devouring.

Their poison could easily kill all monsters on the same level. Moreover, they ate almost everything and could digest anything. Almost anything that went into this monster's belly would be washed with poison and turned into liquid in a short period of time.

Apart from that, the attack speed of their tongue was pretty terrifying. It could pierce through most bodies of monsters on the same level.

Naturally, such monsters would have even a more powerful ability if it elevated to imperial-level.

However, Lin Huang smirked when he heard about the Python-belly Poisonous Frog. "It seems like we're in luck."

If it were anyone else encountering such a monster, even though the person was a demigod-level powerhouse, they would run as far as they could. It was very possible for the demigod-level powerhouse to be attacked and eaten by the Python-belly Poisonous Frog as soon as he was poisoned as his ability would be weakened.

In reality, the Python-belly Poisonous Frog was considered the overlord in the third layer of the Abyss Brink. Although it was not as powerful if it were to be compared with other demigod monsters' abilities alone, the outcome of the battle was outstanding given that its ability was combined with poison.

Three human demigods had been killed by it throughout the hundreds of years while two had run away. Two demigod-level monsters that attempted to fight for its territory eventually became its food. Another one ran away alive but died halfway due to the poisonous attack while only one that managed to escape and survived.

That was the reason why almost no human demigod was willing to offend it while the other demigod monsters allowed it to occupy the third layer of the Abyss Brink's southeastern region.

However, Lin Huang had no idea about all that. He did not even look at the information about the third layer of the Abyss Brink. It was also his first time entering the third layer of the Abyss Brink. Otherwise, he would just look at the map for demigods as soon as he entered. The territory of each demigod-level monster was marked clearly on the map of the third layer of the Abyss Brink.

The reason why Lin Huang said that he was fortunate to encounter the Python-belly Poisonous Frog was that the God Figurine's Combat Soul's body was on par with a Protoss. Neither could they be poisoned, nor would the poison enter their bodies. It was perfect to challenge the Python-belly Poisonous Frog's two most powerful abilities.

After recalling Lancelot back into card form, Lin Huang took Bloody along towards the Python-belly Poisonous Frog's territory.

Chapter 981: A Demigod Has Fallen!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang only spent just over ten minutes to cross more than 2,000 kilometers.

Apart from being attacked by an imperial-level white gold-rank monster not long into their journey, no other monsters attacked them since then.

The reason being that he summoned the Destructive Divine Mammoth right away. Its terrifying imperial-level purple gold-rank combat strength and True Spirit aura echoed across the land. All the monsters trembled wherever the Destructive Divine Mammoth passed, including monsters on the same level. None of them dared to come looking for trouble.

The Python-belly Poisonous Frog sensed the Destructive Divine Mammoth coming into its territory from a distance. The aura that alarmed it also faintly sent a thrill down its spine.

"This terrifying aura must be that of a mythical-level quadruple mutated monster! It trembles deep in my soul even when it's hundreds of kilometers away!" Fear did not provide the Python-belly Poisonous Frog reason to retreat at all. Instead, it boosted its battle will. "There's a high possibility that I could break through to quadruple mutation as soon as I eat it and elevate to mythical-level! My combat strength might even break through and I might become a Virtual God!"

Sensing the Destructive Divine Mammoth advancing at a high speed, the Python-belly Poisonous Frog glared viciously at the silhouette that was moving rapidly in the range of its territory while drooling. Meanwhile, Lin Huang, who was next to the Destructive Divine Mammoth, was completely ignored.

Approximately two to three minutes later, Lin Huang and the Destructive Divine Mammoth finally arrived above the swamp where the Python-belly Poisonous Frog was.

Before Lin Huang could figure where the amphibian monster was, a bloody glow shot into the sky at a high speed, aiming at the Destructive Divine Mammoth's heart.

Even Lin Huang's eyes could not detect such an abrupt attack. All he saw was a red shadow that flashed through the sky and heard a rumble that sounded like thunder coming from where the Destructive Divine Mammoth was. The Destructive Divine Mammoth shot out like a cannon and went right through a few large mountains tens of kilometers away.

The attack that hit the spot made the Python-belly Poisonous Frog realize that its opponent's defense was more powerful than it imagined even before it could get excited. It was surprised that its attack did not break through the opponent's defenses. It just realized that its current opponent was much more impressive than it thought.

"It's worthy of being called a mythical-level monster!" Not only did the Python-belly Poisonous Frog not have any sense of failure, but it also became more enthusiastic now. The more powerful its opponent was, the more benefits it would obtain from devouring it.

It had never imagined what the consequences were if it were no match for its opponent since it had never lost any battle throughout centuries.

The Destructive Divine Mammoth had always been a defensive alpha among the True Spirits. It was hard for one to break through its defenses even if other True Spirits of the same level were to attack it, let alone a mere demigod-level Python-belly Poisonous Frog.

Any other imperial-level purple gold-rank or even mythical-level monsters would be killed or severely injured by the Python-belly Poisonous Frog's attack. However, to the Destructive Divine Mammoth, it was no different from an itch. It could not feel any pain, let alone be harmed by it.

Still, such a great impact pissed him off a little.

The Destructive Divine Mammoth stared at the Python-belly Poisonous Frog's direction as he stood up from the fallen gravel and shook the soil on his body off. His eyes were a little red with fury.

He was furious now!

The Destructive Divine Mammoth released a long shriek tens of kilometers away. He slammed its long trunk, and charcoal gray Life Power echoed like a whip, shooting across the sky towards the Python-belly Poisonous Frog.

Although the Destructive Divine Mammoth was not a monster built for speed, that did not mean that it had no speed-related technique.

The trunk whip was the fastest attack that would go furthest in his inherited memory.

Its attack speed was no slower than the Python-belly Poisonous Frog's attack earlier.

The Python-belly Poisonous Frog did not seem to expect its opponent to have such a quick reaction from so far away. It only snapped back to its senses when the charcoal gray trunk whip was coming near it. It hopped on both its rear legs and dodged the attack.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The trunk whip brushed through its body.

Under the terrifying attack, half of its body was hit by the compelling power.

The impact made its body shoot out, and it smashed into a mountain that was even further away like a cannonball.

Lin Huang did not see the Destructive Divine Mammoth's movements clearly. All he could see was a gray shadow flashing in the sky and a silhouette shooting out. He then saw mountains collapsing far away.

He had just heard the thud coming from the trunk whip attack when the mountains collapsed. Meanwhile, the sound of the mountains collapsing only came echoing a while later.

The Python-belly Poisonous Frog that was buried deep in the gravel had shock written all over its face. It had never thought that the opponent would not only have such stunning defense techniques but also be able to launch a terrifying attack too. The one attack alone almost smashed its body to smithereens.

"A mythical-level monster really is terrifying. It seems like it's hard to kill it without some effort."

By then, the Python-belly Poisonous Frog finally took its opponent seriously, treating him a powerhouse on the same level as it was although the Destructive Divine Mammoth was only on imperial-level purple gold-rank.

The Destructive Divine Mammoth knew that the Python-belly Poisonous Frog did not die although the attack sent it flying away. He appeared above the cliff the Python-belly Poisonous Frog was on in a flash. It stomped its foot in the air without even looking.

The entire mountain seemed to be suppressed by an invisible yet invincible power and turned into dust, disappearing into the ground. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a deep underground pit which was a couple of kilometers wide as if a meteorite had struck.

At that moment, a red glow shot out from under the deep pit.

The speed was a few times faster than the Python-belly Poisonous Frog's first attack. Moreover, the red glow coming from the attack this time was as glaring as the sun.

This time, the Destructive Divine Mammoth held both its legs high and stomped in the air once again.

An elephant's leg that looked like a giant pillar appeared in the air and blasted the ground.

Unsurprisingly, the red glow and the elephant leg collided hard.

A glaring golden glow lit up the epicenter of the collision as if hundreds of nuclear bombs had gone off at the same time. In an instant, the area within thousands of kilometers looked like it had changed from night to day.

All the monsters looked at the center of the battle in fear.

Even Lin Huang who was watching the battle was dragged into Ninetails Lynx's alternate dimension that it had been hiding in.

Meanwhile, an insane heat that was billions of degree Celsius high as a result of the impact spread hundreds of kilometers away from the core of the battle between the two monsters. Everything within that radius was destroyed.

The energy wave that came from the explosions was like gallons of water washing everything within 3,000 kilometers away together with petrifying wind pressure.

Countless plants were destroyed as if they had experienced a category-18 typhoon.

All monsters below imperial-level yellow gold-rank were killed by the impact within 3,000 kilometers. The imperial-level yellow gold-rank and imperial-level white gold-rank monsters also suffered different levels of injuries, except for the imperial-level purple gold-rank monsters which were barely affected.

The Destructive Divine Mammoth that was in the center of the battle stood sturdily midair while glaring dangerously somewhere beneath.

The Python-belly Poisonous Frog was still alive, but it was dying.

It had activated the Divine Power in its body for the attack earlier in an attempt to kill. However, it did not expect its opponent to fight it with Life Power as well as suppressing its most powerful attack. It had no choice but to insert more Divine Power, but the opponent's Life Power seemed to be endless. Eventually, the Divine Power in its body was worn out and it was completely defeated.

Because the Divine Power in its body was drained, it could only use its Life Power to defend itself forcefully during the explosions. However, it could not handle the impact that came from the explosion of Divine Power even though it had drained its Life Power.

Sensing his opponent's remaining aura, the Destructive Divine Mammoth stomped again without thinking twice.

The ground that had already turned into a deep pit collapsed tens of meters further.

Within the gravel that had been crushed into dust, the Python-belly Poisonous Frog which had completely lost its defensive ability turned into a pile of mush instantly.

Chapter 982: The Cultivation System's Fatal Flaw

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Congratulations, you've killed the Python-belly Poisonous Frog (Demigod-level). You've obtained Mythical-level Python-belly Poisonous Frog Monster Card Pieces x2"

Lin Huang only found out that the Python-belly Poisonous Frog was dead after hearing the notification from Xiao Hei.

"It's settled so soon?" Lin Huang came out of the alternate dimension and hovered above the deep collapsed pit. He retrieved the Python-belly Poisonous Frog's carcass that was smashed into a mush deep in the underground with his telekinetic threads.

Xiao Hei's notification came again just when he saw the tragic carcass.

"The system has detected a demigod's soul and a Godhead (broken). Would you like to retrieve them?"

"Retrieve them," Lin Huang confirmed.

Obtaining the demigod's soul was the main purpose of his hunting demigods this time. As for the broken demigod's Godhead, he had no idea what he could do with it after retrieving it.

Looking at the memories he read from all the mini-worlds and the great worlds, it was possible to merge a Godhead, but Gods who elevated from the merging of the Godhead might not be able to elevate his combat strength forever. Therefore, not many people would want to merge others' Godheads, let alone a demigod's broken Godhead.

In less than half a minute, Lin Huang held two cards in his hand: a demigod's soul and a broken Godhead.

Putting the demigod's soul card away into his body, Lin Huang crushed the broken Godhead's card.

An irregular, thumb-sized, charcoal gray crystal appeared in his palm. He looked at the crystal with his face pinched. "What does such a broken Godhead do?"

"Perhaps this thing is useless to others, but it's useful stuff for you," said the stone tablet, smiling all of a sudden.

"Useful stuff? I don't want to merge someone else's Godhead, let alone merge this broken Godhead." Lin Huang was very confident about elevating to Virtual God, but merging someone else's Godhead was out of the picture.

"I'm not asking you to merge it but to refine it," explained the stone tablet while smiling.

"Refine it? What does this thing do after refinement?" Lin Huang was even more puzzled now.

"Do you think you can elevate to imperial-level successfully with your cultivation system?" The stone tablet did not answer Lin Huang's question. It asked him another question instead.

Lin Huang was stunned to hear the stone tablet's question.

He had never thought about that before. The reason being he would need over a month to visualize the three remaining God Figurines' Combat Souls before elevating to imperial-level. He needed time to cultivate the God Figurines too, so it would be at least two months later when he really elevated to imperial-level.

However, now that the stone tablet raised such a question, it made Lin Huang began to think hard about how he should elevate to imperial-level. He was frowning more and more as he thought about it.

"I can't inherit the Divine Fire if I take the imperial-level monster's Life Base… Which means I can't elevate to imperial-level with the current cultivation system."

Lin Huang began sweating upon realizing the issue and he asked the stone tablet immediately, "Do you have a solution to this?"

"In reality, the biggest crux of the problem with elevating to virtual god-level in your world's cultivation system is the imperial-level. It's actually a good thing that you can't elevate with the current system."

"I thought the incomplete world order that we have is the reason for lesser people elevating to Virtual Gods?"Lin Huang asked rather confusedly.

"An incomplete world order will only cause the failure to elevate to True Gods. The number of Virtual Gods is restricted to a certain level, but it's possible to elevate to Virtual Gods. Moreover, it's not that there are few people elevating to Virtual Gods in the current world that you're in. There are none at all," corrected the stone tablet.

"What's wrong with imperial-level? From what I know, most cultivation systems in other mini worlds and great worlds go through the forging of Life Palaces. They just have different names. But they can elevate to virtual god-level and true god-level, so they don't have any problem at all."

"Think about it properly. When do other cultivation systems forge Life Palaces?" asked the stone tablet while smiling.

Lin Huang thought about it carefully and frowned even deeper a moment later. "It's rather odd. Basically, all cultivation systems forge Life Palaces in the beginning stage of cultivation. Do you mean our cultivation system has gotten the sequence of forging Life Palaces wrong?"

"Indeed, the wrong sequence is the main reason." Noticing that Lin Huang figured out the problem, the stone tablet proceeded to explain, "The so-called Life Palace of yours is called a Life Base in the great world. The reason it's called a Life Base is that it's the foundation of the entire cultivation. Only with a sturdy foundation will your house be stable when it's built.

"In the great worlds, there was once an era called the Cultivation Era. During that era, humans were the most powerful race in the entire great world. Furthermore, the first step of almost all human cultivation in that era was to forge a Life Base. The first cultivation level was called the base building-level.

"The reason why humans in that era were powerful was that they forged a sturdy foundation as their first step. Since then, the cultivation system that was built later on grew more and more powerful. In the end, it cultivated countless powerhouses and conquered the entire great world."

"So, why did that cultivation system not become the main system in that era later on?" Lin Huang asked rather confusedly.

"Because there's a fatal flaw in that cultivation system, it took too long. A person would need at least millions or even tens of millions of years to grow to the top combat strength in the great world." The stone tablet's tone became a little awkward all of a sudden.

"What I'm trying to say is that most cultivation system nowadays place forging of the Life Base in the early stage because they were influenced by the Cultivation Era. Basically, all cultivation systems hardly rely on foreign items when it comes to forging the Life Base. Instead, they cultivate it slowly with their own ability. The Life Base that's forged that way is many times more powerful no matter the compatibility or growth compared to the Life Base that you take from others. Moreover, their Life Base will elevate following their level whereby it'll grow and evolve continuously. Eventually, it can be cultivated through divine force and transform from there.

"Your cultivation system has an ordinary quality since it's taken from other monsters. It's not even achieved a tenth of the growth and compatibility compared to other cultivation systems. Furthermore, it's too late to forge the Life Base. The lack of cultivation makes the consolidation of the Life Base into the Godhead impossible. Most importantly, the transformation of the Life Base is simply not there.

"It's possible to elevate successfully if the imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses in your world are willing to spend thousands or tens of thousands of years to absorb the divine force slowly and cultivate the Life Base, then break through when it's on the verge of transformation.

"However, you guys have gotten used to the cultivation method of taking whereby you kill demigod monsters and break through forcefully, relying on the Divine Power in the demigod monsters' bodies. This won't work at all! The Divine Power in the demigod's body is insufficient to consolidate into a complete Godhead. Plus, a Life Base that hasn't gone through sufficient cultivation can't take the impact of the Divine Power."

"So, are you suggesting that I consolidate the Life Base myself instead of taking the available Life Base in imperial-level monsters' bodies?" Lin Huang finally grasped what the stone tablet meant. "But what does that have to do with this broken Godhead that I have?"

"Let me ask you… Where did you get this broken Godhead?" The stone tablet asked while grinning.

"It's formed from those demigod monsters that failed to elevate to Virtual God."

"What is a broken Godhead converted from?"

"A Life Palace…" Lin Huang understood what the stone tablet meant right after he said that. "Are you saying that I can consolidate a Life Base with this broken Godhead as the material?"

"Not one, but a massive amount of broken Godheads. Use as many as your inner world can handle!" The stone tablet chortled out loud. "You could consolidate an invincible Life Base that's even more powerful than a Godhead!"

Chapter 983: Hunting Demigods

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang peeped at the Destructive Divine Mammoth, not sure whether to laugh or cry after putting the Python-belly Poisonous Frog's tragic carcass away. He then put the Destructive Divine Mammoth back into his body.

To him, the poisonous frog's carcass that was now mush had no use to him other than getting Mr. Fu to turn it into food.

Lin Huang looked around the area that had completely turned into ruins. He hovered into the sky and flew north.

Xiao Hei retrieved the Python-belly Poisonous Frog's demigod soul and made it into a card. Naturally, Lin Huang could not read the memory in its head. All he could do was to find another imperial-level monster to acquire the other demigods' coordinates.

Lin Huang flew more than 2,000 kilometers north from the southeastern corner on the third layer of the Abyss Brink. It was still a burnt ruin in his field of vision. He did not even sense a single living thing's aura along the way.

It was his first time learning how powerful a demigod really was then.

"The impact of the battle collision alone destroyed everything within 3,000 kilometers. I don't see any imperial-level monsters that survived. A demigod's power is really terrifying!

"The collision of the Divine Power is the main reason for such great destruction. If that poisonous frog didn't use its Divine Power, the destruction as a result of the collision would only cover an area within 1,000 kilometers at the most. Also, not all monsters were killed by the battle impact. Many of the injured had fled. After all, they had no idea if another collision that was similar would occur again. Those that survived fled the impacted area as soon as they could," explained the stone tablet.

Until he flew 3,000 kilometers out, Lin Huang finally saw the border of the destroyed battleground. A scorched line extended towards the east and the west so far that Lin Huang could not see it with his eyes. The entire land looked like a painting that was half-burned and half-green.

Finally, Lin Huang sensed a living being's aura when he proceeded 1,000 kilometers up north.

At the same time he sensed the aura, the monster attacked.

A green gleam flashed through the sky like a whip coming at him.

Before Lin Huang could do anything, a white light shot through the sky. A little white cat appeared on Lin Huang's shoulder in the next second.

Lin Huang looked down and saw the imperial-level white gold-rank Jasper Boa that was attacking him with its tail sliced into pieces. It was now dead.

He shook his head and landed on the ground slowly.

Bloody came out of his sleeve and connected a tentacle to the Jasper Boa's head that was severed. After a while, all the information in the Jasper Boa's head that was still active was retrieved.

"A thousand kilometers to the north is the demigod-level monster, the Titan Boa's territory. The Ghastly Spider Lady's territory is approximately 3,000 kilometers west."

Lin Huang was familiar with the two monsters since they were in the monster guide.

The Titan Boa was a supreme giant monster. It had a colossal body and possessed imperial-level combat strength. When it turned into an adult, it would be at least tens of thousands meter long. This one in the Abyss Brink with demigod-level combat strength might be at least 50,000 meters long. Its body was even bigger than Tyrant's complete form.

The Titan Boa's gigantic form did not only mean that it had a terrifying ability, but it also had a scary defensive ability. Its combat technique was similar to the Destructive Divine Mammoth whereby they both suppressed their opponents with force.

However, this monster had a petrifying ability, the Star Engulf.

As soon as the ability was charged, there would be a scary engulfing force that surged from its mouth, sucking its opponents into an isolated space inside its body.

Meanwhile, the Ghastly Spider Lady had nothing to do with an arachnid monster at all. She was an undead monster that looked a bit like a female human. She had long hair with a beautiful face but appeared rather pale. The biggest difference compared to a female human was that neither did the Ghastly Spider Lady have human breasts, nor did she have genitals or hair that humans usually had. From far away, she looked like a drained dead body that had been soaked in water for a long time.

The reason the monster was called a spider lady was that her hair was her attack weapon. The attack mode was similar to how spiders hunted.

The Ghastly Spider Lady appeared countable times throughout history, but there was tons of information about her recorded in the monster guide.

Her hair had broad functions including cutting, piercing, tying, weaving webs, and setting traps. It could also be consolidated into a shield and a weapon for defense.

She also had powerful telekinetic power. Not only could she strengthen her hair with various techniques, but she could also give it an attribution ability.

Combining telekinesis and ghastly hair that she was born with, she gave them a comprehensive ability. Apart from slightly weak close-distance combat strength, she almost had no flaws.

Moreover, as she was born undead, the only way to kill her was to cut all of her hair. She would not die even if they still had a single strand of hair attached.

To Lin Huang, this monster was much more difficult to handle compared to the Python-belly Poisonous Frog due to its immensely powerful hair. Even if a strand of demigod-level Ghastly Spider Lady's hair was not as powerful as a demigod relic, it should be on par with a demigod relic when tens of them came together. One could imagine how difficult it would be to cut hundreds of thousands of such locks.

"Let's go for the Titan Boa first then." Lin Huang decided almost without hesitation after a while of comparing.

The Titan Boa was much easier to kill compared to the Ghastly Spider Lady.

After acquiring the Titan Boa's coordinates, Lin Huang continued his journey to the north.

A couple of minutes later, he saw a scary giant boa that looked like a massive mountain from far away. From guesswork, Lin Huang figured that this Titan Boa's body was at least 70,000 meters long.

"What a monster!" The monster's form was the top three biggest monsters Lin Huang had ever seen.

The Titan Boa sat there with its eyes shut, pretending to sleep. Although it did not seem to sense Lin Huang's existence, in reality, it sensed him coming when he was hundreds of kilometers away.

However, it did not take Lin Huang seriously no matter what his combat strength or form was. It did not think that this immortal-level human was coming for it. Instead, it thought Lin Huang was just passing by.

Finally, it could not take it when Lin Huang arrived 20 kilometers away and was still approaching it when he could clearly see the monster's existence. It opened its eyes and looked straight at Lin Huang.

The glance alone from the Titan Boa gave Lin Huang a suppressive demigod aura.

'Seems like it looks down on me completely!' Lin Huang forced a smile while shaking his head.

If he were some other immortal-level powerhouse, the overwhelming intensity coming from the glance alone was sufficient to kill.

However, to Lin Huang who possessed Divine Fire and God Figurines in his body, the Divine Fire would extinguish such a demigod-level spiritual suppression as soon as it came within a certain distance of his consciousness. It could not threaten Lin Huang at all.

"I can't believe it's using its spirit to suppress me when it's an expert in body combat. Let me show you the master who's really skilled in this!" Lin Huang smirked cunningly. "Come on out, Nightmare Tapir!"

Chapter 984: Die, Titan Boa!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Titan Boa was slightly stunned when its spiritual suppression did nothing to the immortal-level human before it. Although it was not a monster expert in spiritual skills, even an imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouse among demigods could not ignore its spiritual suppression. It had killed imperial-level white gold-rank humans in the past in the same way.

However, it could clearly sense that the human before it ignored its spiritual suppression completely. He hovered into the sky like a tough coral in the wave of its spiritual suppression. He could not be affected at all.

In the next second, it saw Lin Huang summon a monster with an elephant trunk and the body of a leopard. The Titan Boa was shocked to sense the monster's aura.

It could sense that the monster's combat strength was only on imperial-level purple gold-rank, but there was an odd aura that caused it to be instinctively fearsome.

"The chill that strikes my spirit…" Soon, the Titan Boa noticed that the chill was a form of suppression that came from its opponent's level. "This fella is on mythical-level!"

Its eyes were filled with fear when it looked at the Nightmare Tapir.

Compared to the Python-belly Poisonous Frog, it dared not underestimate its mythical-level opponent.

The Nightmare Tapir with an elephant trunk and the body of a leopard was only less than three meters long. It was like a mere ant before it.

However, at that very moment, it treated the Nightmare Tapir as its deadly rival that it had never encountered before.

Thousands of meters away, the Nightmare Tapir's eyes turned completely black all of a sudden.

The Titan Boa jolted before it attacked without thinking twice.

Its body that was lying down shot out of nowhere. Its tail that was like a gigantic mountain range whipped through the air and appeared where the human and beast were in the blink of an eye, drowning the both of them.

The strong wind and energy wave coming from the end of its tail plowed a fan-shaped area which radius exceeded 800 kilometers on the ground. The trees and flowers within the entire area turned into dust.

The attack was practically the most powerful attack the Titan Boa could launch without using its Divine Power.

However, it was not elated at all despite having released all it had. Instead, it had a slight change of expression because it clearly sensed that its attack had landed on nothing.

"Where is he?" The Titan Boa sensed all the surrounding areas within its range of its territory with all its might in an attempt to detect Lin Huang's whereabouts.

Just when it sensed something, it jolted again and shot forward all of a sudden.

However, a sharp claw mauled its neck at the moment, leaving a few massive wounds that were at least 20 meters long on its neck.

Its scales with powerful defensive abilities seemed to have zero defenses against the opponent's sharp claws.

Bearing the pain, the Titan Boa turned its head to look at the Nightmare Tapir. Its initial shock calmed down a little.

If it were to dodge the attack earlier a millisecond later, its head might have been torn off and smashed into mush.

"You won't be that lucky next time," said the Nightmare Tapir through voice transmission while grinning coldly.

"I admit that you're powerful, but there's something that I have that you can't compare to." The Titan Boa released a deafening sound. "You have no Divine Power in you!"

"I can still kill you without Divine Power!" The Nightmare Tapir raised its head and whipped its elephant trunk as soon as it was done speaking.

The elephant trunk swept through the air like a whip. As if it were a giant scimitar that sliced through the air, everything it passed by was sliced into half.

The long whip arrived before the Titan Boa in a flash, going straight to its vital point.

The Titan Boa lashed its tail madly again without thinking twice. This time, it inserted almost half of its Divine Power into it.

The massive mountain-like snake tail collided with the long elephant trunk which diameter was less than 15 centimeters long.

At the moment, a golden flare that was as glaring as the sun lit up the collision point.

The golden flare was growing brighter just as its size was growing rapidly too. It grew into a sphere that was thousands of meters in diameter within a few breaths.

Eventually, the golden sphere did not seem to be able to withstand the rapidly expanding speed and exploded entirely. White light shot out all over the place.

In that second, the entire night sky was lit up. The area within thousands of kilometers turned into day.

Endless energy waves and wind pressure swept towards all directions with the collision point as the epicenter.

The area within 2,000 kilometers turned into ruins. All the plants turned into dust while most imperial-level monsters were either injured or killed. Only a minority of them managed to escape with their injured bodies away from the energy waves like rabid animals.

From a distance, Lin Huang, who hovered mid-air, saw that the Titan Boa's eyes had turned completely black long ago. The Divine Power in its body experienced a tremor, and its aura fell away a while later.

He could not help but swivel his head to look at the Nightmare Tapir next to him. "What exactly did he dream about?"

"Fighting me," replied the Nightmare Tapir, turning its head and smiling.

"Close-distance combat?'

"Yes."

"Aren't you lousy at close-distance combat?" Lin Huang asked in confusion.

"It thought I'm good at it, so I made it think so on purpose. I made my close-distance combat ability super powerful." The Nightmare Tapir could not help but chuckle out loud. "Not only do I have the Ninetails Lynx's speed and claws, but I also have a defensive ability on par with the Destructive Divine Mammoth. It was beaten up real good."

"Oh wow, that's so powerful!" Even Lin Huang could not help himself and gave the Nightmare Tapir a thumbs-up.

He could only wonder if he would be invincible if the Nightmare Tapir integrated all nine True Spirits' most powerful abilities into his body in his dream.

The remaining Divine Power in the Titan Boa's body went through another tremor when the duo was chatting. A moment later, its aura dropped rapidly and it was soon dying.

The Titan Boa looked devastating in the dream world.

It laid in the ruins while its body had hundreds of thousands of wounds like it had been cut with a sharp blade. There was no flesh in pristine condition from its head to its tail as if it went through slow slicing execution.

Its scales and tough flesh did not seem to be able to defend it at all. Each wound on its body was at least tens of meters long. Its red flesh could almost be seen from its scales that were torn open. Some wounds were so deep that they went into its organs.

The cuts were bleeding continuously with no sign of healing. Blood spilled from the Titan Boa's mouth like a stream.

"I lost…" There was no yielding in its voice.

"This is the toughest battle I've ever had in my life. It's also the battle in which I was suppressed entirely. The power and defensive ability that I'm proud of were like babies to you. Even my most powerful ability, the Star Engulf, can't do anything to you.

"Although I never underestimated you since the beginning, never had I thought that a mythical-level would be so much more terrifying than I imagined!"

"I think there's something that I must tell you." The Nightmare Tapir that was hovering mid-air looked at the Titan Boa in a condescending way. It finally spoke, "I'm not on mythical-level. I'm on a level that's even higher than mythical-level!"

However, the Nightmare Tapir kept something a secret. It was still a child now.

"Is that so? I didn't lose in vain then…" The very last wisp of breath in the Titan Boa finally faded when it learned the 'truth'.

"Congratulations, you've obtained a complete Titan Boa Card (Legendary-level) x2!"

"The system has detected a demigod soul and Godhead (broken). Would you like to retrieve them?"

Chapter 985: Secret Skill – Stealthy Snake

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang was rather surprised to see Xiao Hei's notification about acquiring a complete Titan Boa Monster Card.

Under normal circumstances, the chances of obtaining a complete Monster Card from killing a monster was extremely low.

According to Lin Huang's past experience, the chances of it occurring was definitely much lower than 1%. Sometimes, he might only obtain a few hundred complete Monster Cards after killing millions of monsters.

However, he obtained a complete card after killing the second monster.

"Seems like my luck's great today!" Lin Huang put away the gigantic monster carcass into his storage space after retrieving the demigod soul and Godhead.

On the other hand, the Nightmare Tapir shared the memory it had retrieved with Bloody.

"How is it going? Do we have the other demigod monsters' coordinates?" Lin Huang only asked Bloody when he saw the Nightmare Tapir detach its elephant trunk from Bloody's head.

Bloody nodded in confirmation. "Almost there. Apart from the two that we've killed, there should be another 14 demigod-level monsters on this layer. The one that's closest to us is the Ghastly Spider Lady that I told you about earlier. It's approximately 3,500 kilometers from us in the southwest. Apart from that, there's a Ghoul Lynx at least 5,000 kilometers north."

The Ghoul Lynx was a spirit monster. There were not many recordings of it in the monster guide because most people who saw such a monster were dead.

This monster was immune to most physical attacks. One could only harm it on a spiritual level. However, it was an expert in soul-type of attack techniques, illusions, and hypnotization.

"They're hard to handle no matter if it's the Ghastly Spider Lady or the Ghoul Lynx." Lin Huang fell into silence for a moment. "Let's go for the one that's closest to us. Plan the route, Bloody."

"Alright." Bloody soon plotted the route. "We're heading west now. After killing the Ghastly Spider Lady, we'll head northwest, then go north. If we follow this route, the Ghoul Lynx will be our last prey."

"Sure!" Lin Huang had no objection. To him, there was no difference whoever they killed first.

After all, he did not plan to spare any of the remaining 14 demigod-level monsters.

After putting the demigod soul and the Godhead away as well as recalling the Nightmare Tapir into his head, Lin Huang made his way to the Ghastly Spider Lady's territory with Bloody.

Approximately 20 minutes later, they arrived at the Ghastly Spider Lady's territory. Lin Huang crushed a Lucky Card and summoned his chosen fighter to go against the Ghastly Spider Lady — the Ninetails Lynx.

He only had three imperial-level purple gold-rank monsters with him at the moment. They were the Destructive Divine Mammoth, the Ninetails Lynx, and the Nightmare Tapir. The rest of them were on imperial-level white gold-rank and while they might be able to fight demigods, they could not suppress them easily. As for the three God Figurines that he had just obtained, he had yet to visualize them until now since their Combat Souls had yet to be consolidated.

The Destructive Divine Mammoth, the Ninetails Lynx, and the Nightmare Tapir were the only ones that he could use at the moment.

Theoretically, among the three God Figurines' Combat Souls, the Nightmare Tapir should be the most suitable to fight a monster like the Ghastly Spider Lady.

The Nightmare Tapir was the best expert in dragging his opponent into dreamland without them realizing and draining him to death there.

No matter how intricate the Ghastly Spider Lady's ability was, she would be controlled by the Nightmare Tapir in the dreamland. There was no way that she could turn the tables.

One reason Lin Huang chose the Ninetails Lynx was that the latter was eager to fight after watching the Destructive Divine Mammoth and the Nightmare Tapir's battles earlier. On the other hand, he wanted to watch the fight against the demigod-level powerhouse himself. He had not witnessed the fight between the Nightmare Tapir and the Titan Boa earlier.

What he had no idea about was that the Nightmare Tapir could actually pull him into dreamland to watch the fight. Since he did not mention it, the Nightmare Tapir did not know that he intended to watch it.

The Ghastly Spider Lady locked her sights on Lin Huang who was coming at her at a rapid speed. In reality, she noticed this human who intruded her territory when he was hundreds of kilometers away.

Her hunting instinct taught her patience, so she waited for her opponent to reveal his flaws in order for her to kill it in one blow.

However, what puzzled her was that this human, whose combat strength was obviously only immortal-level, did not show any flaws at all. Even though he was moving at a high speed, he still maintained his high alertness, ready to take any attack from all directions at any time.

"This human's an expert. It's too bad his combat strength is too weak. If he has the same combat strength as I do, I'm afraid he'll be a difficult opponent." That was the first impression the Ghastly Spider Lady had of Lin Huang.

She smirked when she noticed Lin Huang advancing to her soon.

A couple of strands of hair were waving like they were living things. Gradually, they faded and turned invisible. They were like poisonous snakes hiding in the dark, slithering their way to Lin Huang.

There was no sound or trace left behind everywhere they passed.

That was her assassination secret skill, the Stealthy Snake.

Such a secret skill attack was not only invisible, but it also blocked out the ability to sense one's territory.

The Ghastly Spider Lady had killed countless preys with this secret skill. Up until the moment they were dead, many preys had no idea what attacked them.

Lin Huang frowned suddenly when he was still more than 20 kilometers away from the Ghastly Spider Lady.

Using his Divine Telekinesis, he found out that there were over 30 strands of hair that could not be seen with the naked eye coming toward his direction rapidly. What surprised him was that even his Territory skill did not sense the hair. It did not sense anything out of the ordinary.

"It seems like this is a powerful one. Without my Divine Telekinesis, I'm afraid I'd have been dead right now." Lin Huang summoned the Ninetails Lynx right away. He knew he could not go up against such a demigod-level attack without having his trump card to boost his combat strength.

"Do you sense the invisible hair?" Lin Huang asked through voice transmission.

The Ninetails Lynx nodded. "This stealthy technique isn't too shabby. There's a unique shield layer on the surface of the hair that blocks out a large chunk of the sensing ability of the Territory skill. Unfortunately, the hair occupies space no matter how small it is. In the range of my territory, anything in the material world that occupies space can't escape from me."

It saw through the structure of the shield on the hair in one glance.

Lin Huang was completely relieved when he heard what the Ninetails Lynx said. He was thinking of getting the Nightmare Tapir to fight again if the Ninetails Lynx could not sense the hair. The Nightmare Tapir could pull the opponent into dreamland so that there was no way it could fight at all.

At least 30 strands of hair slithered less than 100 meters from Lin Huang using the Stealthy Snake when the human and cat were just done talking.

The little cat returned to Lin Huang's shoulder, seeming like a white shadow that flashed in the air.

At that moment, Lin Huang's Divine Telekinesis just sensed that the 36 strands of hair that were attempting to attack him were now sliced into pieces.

The Ghastly Spider Lady that was 20 kilometers away let out a deep groan. The pair of eyes on her pale face shifted slowly. She was now staring at the little white cat on Lin Huang's shoulder 20 kilometers away.

She flashed her white teeth with a devilish smile. "So, he has an assistant."

Chapter 986: She Becomes Bald but No More Powerful

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The missed hit made the Ghastly Spider Lady shift her attention to the Ninetails Lynx on Lin Huang which was even more threatening.

The Ninetails Lynx looked at her from far away too.

As they locked eyes, the Ghastly Spider Lady clearly noticed that her soul was shaking. At that moment, she realized that it was on a higher level of suppression.

"It's on mythical-level?!" The moment the Ghastly Spider Lady was stunned, the Ninetails Lynx on Lin Huang's shoulder disappeared again.

Almost at the same time, a white streak appeared before the Ghastly Spider Lady without warning.

It was too late when she noticed that. Before she managed to do anything, the white streak had pierced through her body.

In the next second, the white streak appeared hundreds of meters behind the Ghastly Spider Lady, revealing itself gradually. It was the Ninetails Lynx that had been on Lin Huang's shoulder earlier!

Lin Huang only noticed that the little white cat on his shoulder was no longer there when he saw it appear behind the spider lady.

By then, he had arrived less than five kilometers from the Ghastly Spider Lady. He was stunned when he saw her naked body sliced into tens of pieces. He recalled something all of a sudden and spoke to the Ninetails Lynx through voice transmission immediately, "She's an undead monster. You must cut all of her hair off to kill her!"

The Ghastly Spider Lady's body was healing rapidly at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye as soon as the voice transmission was heard.

Her head turned 180 degrees directly, and her black eyes on her pale face glared deadly at the Ninetails Lynx. Her long hair began dancing like snakes.

"Die!" A devastating shriek came from the Ghastly Spider Lady's throat.

Clearly, she was extremely furious that she was attacked. She had gone into a frenzy, not caring whether the opponent was on mythical-level at all.

At the same time that she shrieked, her long hair swept towards the Ninetails Lynx like an ocean wave.

Her black, long hair turned into bunches of black threads and swept through heaven and earth. It was like flood flushing out of a broken dam.

Nonetheless, the Ninetails Lynx was fearless, its eyes turned a little red as it charged like a white streak again.

Not only did the white streak not run away, but it also entered the flood formed by the black strands of hair.

The white streak was sparkling mid-air. At the same time, sharp air blades formed from the white streak attacked the hair again and again.

The bunches of black hair was like hair being cut whereby they broke off easily wherever the scimitar-like sharp blade passed by.

None of the hairs managed to touch the white streak at all.

"Didn't they say that the Ghastly Spider Lady's hair is as powerful as a demigod relic?" Lin Huang began to suspect whether the information recorded in the monster guide was true. According to his observation, the Ghastly Spider Lady's hair seemed to be no different from an ordinary human's hair whereby it was easily snipped off.

"The information in the monster guide should be verified," Bloody voiced its speculation, "There should be two reasons why the hair can be cut so easily."

"One is that the Ninetails Lynx is extremely powerful, and its attack contains the slicing of space. The second reason is that the Ghastly Spider Lady's hair's attribute isn't the highest defense mode at the moment, but is her most powerful attack mode."

In the short couple seconds of battling, the Ghastly Spider Lady who had a third of her hair gone realized that her opponent was much more powerful than she imagined. She calmed down gradually.

"No, I'll definitely lose if this goes on!"

She noticed that her opponent would cut a great amount of her hair easily whenever it mauled her with its claws. Although she had no idea how it did it, she knew that she would be defeated sooner or later, so she changed her strategy immediately.

Her black hair scattered all of a sudden and turned into thin threads. They swept towards the Ninetails Lynx from all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the Ninetails Lynx seemed to have fallen into a trap whereby it was covered completely by countless strands of hair. Furthermore, its space was shrinking.

"Let's see how you're going to run!"

A sense of disdain flashed through the Ninetails Lynx's eyes when it noticed that.

In the next second, it flashed away while the prison made of the long hair suddenly became empty.

The Ghastly Spider Lady jolted upon realizing that the Ninetails Lynx was gone.

Almost at the same time, the Ghastly Spider Lady's head was left with a round and naked scalp. She looked similar to a middle-aged man who suffered from baldness.

Yes, she was bald.

However, no, she did not become more powerful. Instead, her aura was dropping rapidly.

The Ninetails Lynx's attack almost made her lose two-thirds of her hair.

Lin Huang was not sure to laugh or cry when he witnessed that mid-air. The Ninetails Lynx had made its opponent bald! It was clear that the cat had done that on purpose.

Perhaps because she thought the top of her head was a little chilly, so the Ghastly Spider Lady could not help but touch her head. Her expression turned terrible when she found out that she was bald.

Her pallid face was even paler now. The expression on her face was gravely ferocious. Clearly, she was extremely mad.

"I'll kill you! Kill you! Kill you!"

Anyone could not help but have goosebumps when the devastating shriek that reflected despair spread hundreds of kilometers away into the night.

The Ghastly Spider Lady fell into a complete frenzy later on. She lost her calm and ditched her strategy entirely. She consolidated her remaining hair into a long whip, even inserting Divine Power into it while lashing everything around her madly.

The Ninetails Lynx did not bother to fight her and dodged with sparkles continuously. It even had the time to grab Lin Huang and send him into the alternate dimension to prevent him from feeling the impact.

The Ghastly Spider Lady was even more enraged now that the Ninetails Lynx could still take care of others under its attack. She increased the frequency of her lashes.

However, apart from destroying everything within hundreds of kilometers, her attack did not even touch a hair on the Ninetails Lynx.

By going into a rage, the spider lady revealed all of her flaws to the Ninetails Lynx.

The flaws that kept spilling made the Ninetails Lynx assault her scalp over and over again.

When it attacked for the sixth time, it removed the very last strand of hair behind the Ghastly Spider Lady's head.

By then, the Ghastly Spider Lady became completely bald. Her shiny scalp reflected the bright moonlight.

The Ghastly Spider Lady, whose hair was completely removed, looked like she had turned into a rock. She stood frozen where she was while her eyes lost spirit slowly and all signs of life were fading rapidly.

Xiao Hei's notifications came one after another on Lin Huang's side.

"Congratulations, you've obtained complete Ghastly Spider Lady Card (Legendary-level) x2!

"Congratulations, you've obtained demigod soul crystals (Pseudo-mythical-level) x2

"The system has detected a demigod soul and a Godhead (broken). Would you like to retrieve them?"

Chapter 987: Bai Agrees to Elevate

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Before hunting the Ghastly Spider Lady, Lin Huang used a Lucky Card intentionally but never had he expected that complete Ghastly Spider Lady Monster Cards would come out. Besides that, there were even demigod soul crystals.

After retrieving the Ghastly Spider Lady's demigod soul and Godhead in her body, Lin Huang put the carcass away and said to Bloody in his sleeve with his head down, "Where to next?"

"There's a Golden Venom Silkworm 6,800 kilometers in the southwest."

"Let's go!" Lin Huang hovered into the sky directly after putting the Ninetails Lynx away and headed straight southwest.

Past 10 a.m. the next morning, Lin Huang finally returned to the second layer from the third layer of the Abyss Brink.

He had spent the entire night killing all 16 demigod-level monsters in the Abyss Brink.

With the effect of the Lucky Cards and Double Reward Cards, his night full of reward was pretty handsome. He obtained a total of six compete Monster Cards, four demigod soul crystals, four demigod relics, 32 demigod souls, and 32 broken Godheads.

The six complete Monster Cards were two Titan Boas, two Ghastly Spider Ladies, and two Ghoul Lynxs.

Although they were all demigod-level monsters, due to the restriction of Lin Huang's combat strength, they were just like Bai and the rest whereby their combat strength was only on imperial-level yellow gold-rank.

Lin Huang also obtained 16 cross-ranking rewards. Since he had killed demigods, he would receive 80 card draws each time he killed one. With the Double Reward Cards, he obtained a total of 2,560 draws.

Lin Huang summoned Bai when he returned to the land where Tyrant and the rest were elevating.

Bai was rather puzzled when he saw the three golden eggs. However, he soon sensed the aura that he was familiar with inside the eggs. Tyrant and the rest were in there!

Lin Huang only explained upon seeing Bai glaring at the golden eggs, "I elevated Tyrant and the other two to mythical-level since I've gathered sufficient materials for them."

A sense of envy flashed through Bai's eyes when he heard that, but soon he hid his emotions.

"You don't have to be envious because I've gathered the materials for you too. You can elevate now." Lin Huang took out the materials one after another while speaking.

"You can't summon me after I elevate, can you?" Bai asked.

"It's alright. That'll just be temporary," Lin Huang explained while smiling, "I've found a way to elevate to imperial-level, so I should complete the elevation soon."

Bai fell into silence for a moment before asking again, "Your Combat Souls… Are they much more powerful than us?"

It was Lin Huang's turn to fall into silence when he heard the question. He nodded a while later. "There are three of them who can kill demigods now while the remaining four should be able to fight demigods face-on."

"I get it now. Let's elevate then." Bai nodded firmly after hearing the answer.

"Let's begin then." Lin Huang handed the materials to Bai one after another for the integration following the instructions on the cards.

The integration process was extremely torturous, especially integrating the demigod blood and demigod soul. The expression on Bai's face was so distorted that he looked like something else now.

Usually, it only required the integration of a ton demigod blood and ten demigod souls. However, the instruction at the back of the card said the more, the better.

Bai integrated a total of three tons of demigod blood and 32 demigod souls. He said nothing throughout the entire process whereby he stood where he was while blood gushed out of the pores all over his body.

Even Lin Huang, who stood aside, was frowning hard when he saw this grisly scene. He did not stop Bai. Instead, he crushed five Advance Cards.

Bai's pain finally faded when the five Advance Cards turned into five golden glows which penetrated his body. Just like Tyrant and the rest, his body began turning into a golden egg too.

Lin Huang released a long exhale of relief upon seeing Bai enter the elevation mode. "This round of elevation is finally done."

Since he had completed the core goal of elevating the four imperial monsters, Lin Huang turned his head and looked at the two God Figurines' Combat Souls beside.

He then summoned all four of his imperial-level white gold-rank God Figurines' Combat Souls.

The Divine Sun Tree mastered the Fire Rule. Everything would be inflammable when it elevated to its peak in order to strengthen itself.

The Enchanted Fairy mastered the Ice Rule. It could freeze the entire world from revolving when it was elevated to its peak.

The Undead Styx mastered the Spirit Rule. When it elevated to its peak, it could turn any living thing into its loyal worshippers as it wished, building countless undead armies. It could also retrieve countless inheritances from the numerous souls and own them.

The Withered Flower mastered the Life Rule. It could revive the dead on a large scale when it elevated to its peak. It could also engulf all living things in the world and turn it into a dead, barren land.

All four Combat Souls had abilities no less than the Ninetails Lynx and the rest. It was just that they were one rank lower in terms of combat strength.

Initially, Lin Huang could not decide which Combat Soul he should use the two demigod soul crystals that he had obtained from auctioning the god relic Ba Huang on. However, he had obtained another four during the hunt this time, so it was sufficient now.

After summoning the four God Figurines' Combat Souls, he took out four demigod soul crystals and threw them towards the four Combat Souls that grabbed the demigod soul crystals without thinking twice and swallowed them.

The God Figurines' Combat Souls completed their breakthrough merely over ten minutes later. All of them had elevated to imperial-level purple gold-rank, and their aura was just as strong as the Destructive Divine Mammoth.

Lin Huang made the Undead Styx stay to guard the premises as he put the three God Figurines' Combat Souls away.

He began practicing on his own.

The Undead Styx had hundred thousands of imperial-level armies in its body whereby it had close to 200 imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses alone. Even if it did not fight by itself, the hundred thousand-strong armies were sufficient to fight two to three demigods. Furthermore, it was under the premise of no battle formation.

In reality, Lin Huang got Bloody to share all of its battle formation knowledge to the Undead Styx ever since it formed its undead army. What he had no idea about was how well the Undead Styx mastered the battle formation now.

Two white-robed people rushed through the second layer of the Abyss Brink, ignoring any monsters' aura around completely.

In reality, there was nothing that they should worry about since both of them were imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses. They did not hide their aura at all. All of the monsters along the way would hide when they sensed the duo's aura. They were afraid that they would be discovered.

The most powerful monster in the second layer of the Abyss Brink was only on imperial-level yellow gold-rank after all. Picking a fight with anyone whose combat strength was two ranks higher was definitely asking for death.

"We've searched through the few usual hunting zones on the second layer, but we didn't find Lin Xie's trace at all. Could he not be in the hunting zone?"

"There are only two possibilities. He's either in the hunting zone or he's gone to the third layer."

"Why did he even come to the Abyss Brink if he's not going for the hunting zones?"

"Who knows? We can only search following the map. We can't let go of even a single zone!"

Chapter 988: God Bless

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Two white silhouettes, one tall and one short, were flying north at high speed in a dense jungle in the northeast of the second layer of the Abyss Brink.

"This is the last zone. If we can't find Lin Xie here, it means that he has either gone to the third layer or he's left the Abyss Brink," said the tall one without any expression on his face.

"I think there's one more possibility." The short one had disdain written all over his face. "That brat named Lin Xie might not even come to the Abyss Brink at all. The news that we got might be fake since the beginning."

"This possibility is low." The tall one shook his head expressionlessly.

"So, what do we do if we don't find him in the last zone?" asked the short one, "It's been two days and one night since we last rested."

"We can only search the third layer if we can't find him in this layer." The tall one could not help but frown as he spoke.

"I think this is a complete waste of time," the short one objected immediately. "He's on immortal-level. He's not stupid. How is it possible that he'd go to the third layer? Wouldn't he be looking for death if he does that? We'll forget it when we're done searching through the second layer. Why should we torture ourselves?"

"Master asked me to team up with you on purpose because he knew you'd give up fast. Don't you ever think of slacking…"

"Stop!" The short one spoke through voice transmission and interrupted the tall one from speaking further.

"What?" The tall one looked confused.

"Shh!" The short one made a shushing gesture and pointed to his right.

"Do you see something?" The tall one spoke through voice transmission this time.

"Someone set up an illusion in the canyon on the northeast side. I'm suspecting it might be Lin Xie." The short one became a little excited now.

"Let's go take a look." Both of them hid their aura immediately as soon as the tall one was done speaking. They lowered their flight and rushed toward the zone the short one detected.

Lin Huang, who was practicing his sword skills in a canyon more than 100 kilometers away, smirked all of a sudden. "They're finally here."

Yesterday, when Lin Huang returned from the third layer of the Abyss Brink, Bloody found out about these two imperial-level purple gold-rank men in white robes since its Leech Pods filled the entire the second layer of the Abyss Brink.

When Bloody informed Lin Huang about the duo's whereabouts, he connected the dots to the two people who had captured Chan Dou and were wearing white robes too. He suspected that they were the same people. How could he have known that that they would be coming for him now?

Lin Huang summoned the Nightmare Tapir. "Don't kill them yet. Remember to read their minds. Find out which organization they're from and where they brought Chan Dou to. Is he still alive? Also, find out how many demigods are there in their organization and where their headquarters is."

The Nightmare Tapir nodded. Sensing the duo approaching at high velocity, it raised its head and flipped its trunk instantly while releasing an ear-splitting shriek.

The screech spread a hundred times faster than the speed of sound. It reached the two white-robed men in the blink of an eye.

The two white-robed men slowed down all of a sudden.

"Did you hear that?" asked the short one.

"I did. I wonder what kind of monster's shriek was that?" The tall one nodded.

"It seems to be coming from that canyon." The short one seemed timid now.

"No matter what it is, the highest its combat strength will only be is imperial-level yellow gold-rank. Monsters of a higher combat strength can't enter the second layer at all." The tall one remained calm.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." The short one was relieved now.

The duo soon passed through more than 100 kilometers and arrived deep in the canyon.

An ungulate monster with black scales all over and a horn on its head lay on the ground of a cave. It was breastfeeding two of its babies.

"It's a… Midnight Unicorn?!" The tall one raised a brow when he saw that creature.

"It seems like that fella set this illusion up. We've wasted our efforts again." Disappointment remained all over the short man's face.

"Our luck's awesome! The Midnight Unicorn is a rare spirit-type monster that's expert in illusions. It happens to have two babies, so we'll have one each." The tall one killed the mother monster quickly as he was speaking. He grabbed the two baby monsters and passed one of them to the short one.

"None for me. I'm not a fan of keeping pets," the short one rejected right away. "What do we do now? We're already done searching the last zone, but we didn't find any traces of Lin Xie."

"What else can we do? We can only go to the third layer. We can't go back without even taking a look at the third layer. Am I right? Or do you think that you can get away from Master's questioning?"

The short one fell into silence for a moment and eventually nodded unwillingly. "Let's go to the third layer then, but you'll search on your own if want to do it at night. I'm going to sleep."

"Sure, let's take a rest tonight. Let's take a look at the third layer together tomorrow," the tall one agreed directly.

Lin Huang began observing the two white-robed men when they appeared before him.

The tall one was skinny. He was at least 1.9 meters tall like a bamboo stick. His skin was rather fair. He seemed to have taken on an unhealthy pallor as if he had been staying indoors for a long time without getting any sunlight.

The short one was obviously less than 1.7 meters. Perhaps, he was only 1.6 meters at the most. He was plump and tanned while the pores on his nose were huge with many blackheads.

The white robes they were wearing were pure white without any labels. Lin Huang only found two Emperor's Heart Rings on them; they had nothing else.

After he was done observing them, the Nightmare Tapir transferred all of the information it had retrieved to Bloody.

"How is it? Are they the ones who took Chan Dou?" Lin Huang asked immediately upon seeing Bloody looking at him.

"Yes," Bloody confirmed.

"Is Chan Dou still alive?"

"He's still alive, but this is so much more complicated than we imagined!" Bloody had no idea how to put it into words. "They're from an organization called God Bless. It's not a new underground organization, but it's been hiding under the radar for over 800 years. They've even joined the organizations founded by the Union Government and the Hunter Association. Their people have penetrated the higher management of organizations including the Union Government and the Hunter Association… Apart from the Union Government organization, they've occupied almost all the major underground organizations' higher management."

"I'll transfer the memory after I've arranged them. Take a look for yourself." Bloody extended a tentacle that slithered to Lin Huang's forehead after speaking. A sea of information rushed into his head rapidly.

Lin Huang only opened his eyes a long time after Bloody recalled its tentacle. He was frowning hard.

"No wonder these people dare to capture the direct descendants of the Chan Clan who have demigods guarding their clan. They basically control all the major organizations in this world."

"It should be them who attacked Master that time! Only they could do it. They used the Union Government name to set the trap for Master and destroyed the evidence perfectly."

"Now, the most troublesome thing is that there's no way we can identify who is from God Bless and who isn't," Bloody voiced the biggest existing conundrum.

Lin Huang, who had just digested the new information in his head, looked serious now.

Making enemies with God Bless was no different from making enemies with all the organizations in the world.

Chapter 989: Herculean King, Quadruple Mutated

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang found out from the two white-robed men's minds that Chan Dou was still alive, but the duo had no idea where he had been sent to.

The God Bless organization was massive whereby there were a couple of branches in each safety zone and each branch in the same zone served different purposes. The white-robed men only knew what was happening at their branch, but they knew nothing much about the other branches and the headquarters. They did not even know where were the exact locations of those branches and headquarters.

Although Lin Huang found out about the location of their branch as well as there being a demigod there from the duo's memory, he did not plan to alert the enemy just yet.

Bloody shared the same opinion.

"Looking at the current situation, it's easy for us to destroy this branch that we know of. However, the people from God Bless will be even more cautious as soon as the branch is destroyed. It will only bring our further investigation a bigger obstacle, so we can't do anything to this branch just yet."

"I think so too, but the current issue is that we can't obtain more information to deepen the investigation if we don't drop by this branch."

"We don't have to do the investigation ourselves," Bloody said and looked at the two white-robed men who were still wandering in dreamland. "We can send two spies in."

Lin Huang's attention shifted to the two white-robed men. He stared at them for a while and turned his head to ask the Nightmare Tapir, "Can you do it?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. I can imprint a part of me in their bodies. As soon as they fall asleep, I can retrieve the information from their heads no matter the distance. Furthermore, nobody will find out about that including themselves," said the Nightmare Tapir, nodding, but he raised a question, "But there's one problem. Many things they experienced in the dreamland can't be explained properly. If we let them go just like that, there'd be many loopholes when someone were to question them. They'd find out about it sooner or later. I'm afraid they'd know we did something to them by then."

"Tell me about what they went through. I'll make you a new script." Bloody took up the responsibility.

Bloody saw everything in their heads a moment later. "I get it now. I might need your help to delete the beginning portion of their memory. Start from the Midnight Unicorn illusion they saw when they came to the canyon. Change it to them seeing a male Midnight Unicorn which ran away when it saw them from far away."

Soon, two days had passed. The two white-robed men returned to the second layer of the Abyss Brink from the third layer.

"I've already told you that he's definitely not on the third layer. We wasted two days for nothing," the short one complained, feeling irritated.

"It seems like Lin Xie has left the Abyss Brink," the tall one ignored the short one's complaint while speaking to himself, "Since he's not on the second and third layers, I think we should take a look at the first layer."

"Go by yourself. I don't have the time to play along with you. I'm going back to report myself now." The short one did not bother the tall one and rushed to the exit of the second layer right away.

The tall one frowned slightly. Seeing the short one disappearing from his field of vision, he followed, feeling helpless.

Over half an hour later, the duo got out of the second layer exit of the Abyss Brink one after another. They returned to the land.

Just when they returned, the duo summoned a Dimensional Portal and stepped into it.

In Division 3, Magical Sky City.

In a tall office building, there was a well-lit office with three transparent membrane walls.

An old, gray-haired man in a ponytail who was sitting at a meeting table was looking at the two white-robed men standing before the office table through the frameless glasses on his nose bridge.

One of the two white-robed men was short and the other, tall.

The tall one was at least 1.9 meters tall. His skin was unhealthily pale.

The short one was less than 1.7 meters tall. His skin was tanned, and one could see the pores on his nose from a couple of meters away.

The old man placed his elbows on the table while crossing both of his hands as he listened to the two men talking.

"Do you mean the both of you have browsed through the second and third layers of the Abyss Brink but you didn't find any trace of Lin Xie?"

"Yes, boss. We didn't only browse through the hunting zones this time. We also went through every inch of the land from the south to the north, from the east to the west, but we didn't find Lin Xie,' added the short one.

The old man did not look at the short guy. Instead, he turned his head to look at the tall one and asked, "You didn't miss out any place?"

The tall one nodded. "Yes, we didn't miss out an inch on the second and third layers."

"So, you didn't browse the first layer?" The old man frowned slightly.

The short one nudged the tall one next to him with his elbow. "See, I told you that we should browse the first layer, but you insisted that it's impossible for Lin Xie to go to the first layer and you said we must come back to report ourselves right away."

"You…" The tall one was enraged to hear that. Just like that, the short one turned the tables around!

"Never mind. It doesn't matter if you didn't browse through them. Indeed, it's pretty impossible that Lin Xie would go to the first layer." The old man waved to stop the duo's fight.

"Alright, both of you may leave now. Be on standby and don't go too far. There will be a mission soon."

"What mission, boss?" the short one asked rather curiously.

"Something from the Purple Crow. Don't ask about the detail. I'll tell you guys by then." The old man waved to get them to leave directly.

Lin Huang had been staying in the second layer of the Abyss Brink. He had been guarding the four golden eggs while practicing his sword skills every day.

At midnight on the ninth day, one of the golden eggs finally hatched.

Lin Huang put the wooden sword in his hand away immediately hearing the cracking of the shell. He looked at the few golden eggs and soon realized that it was the Herculean King's golden egg that was cracking.

The crack seemed to have formed automatically. It was just a hairline crack in the beginning at only over ten centimeters. Soon, it turned into the size of a thumb while its length expanded to hundreds of meters. The crack spread out, and there were more and more cracks.

Approximately half an hour later, cracks of all sizes filled the entire egg. All of a sudden, countless golden rays shot out of the cracks. Subsequently, the entire shell broke and turned into pieces. The tens of thousands of eggshell pieces turned into golden dots sparkling in the air. It looked like stars in the night sky.

Lin Huang saw the giant golden ape covered in the sparkles. The giant ape opened its eyes slowly as if it was waking up from a deep slumber. At the moment, the golden dots went through a tremor out of the blue. They turned into a golden stream and penetrated the giant ape's chest.

After a long time later, the golden gleam faded completely. The giant ape stepped forward, shrinking with every step it took.

Its height shrunk to three meters when it appeared before Lin Huang.

With the help of a bonfire, Lin Huang saw the Herculean King's transformed appearance.

His long hair was short now. He looked more like a human when he was standing up. The biggest difference was that many parts of his body were covered with a layer of golden armor. He even had an exquisite golden headband on his head and golden flames burned in his eyes.

'The Monkey King bar is the only thing you're missing to be the Monkey King!' Lin Huang thought to himself upon seeing the Herculean King's transformation.

Chapter 990: The Imperial Monsters that Hatched

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang sensed clearly that the Herculean King's aura was much more powerful than before. It was at least 100 times more powerful now.

The golden flames in the Herculean King's eyes faded slowly when he saw Lin Huang.

He walked to Lin Huang before speaking, "Master, you must take care of yourself when we're not around."

"I will. Don't worry. You guys just wait for me to elevate to imperial-level." Lin Huang patted the Herculean King's arm. "Your new style isn't too shabby. You're quite handsome!"

The Herculean King smirked when he heard the compliment. His body turned into orange pieces before he could say anything more as he converted into an orange card before Lin Huang quickly.

Lin Huang extended his hand and the card was drawn to his palm.

The card was completely orange with the Herculean King's image on it. He was waving at Lin Huang in there.

Lin Huang smiled and flipped the card over to look at the details.

"Monster Card: Herculean King

"Rarity: Mythical-level

"Monster Name: Super Strength Battleape (Fire attribute)

"Type of Monster: Demon God-type (Pure Blood) / Ancient era Mighty Ape Tribe)

"Nickname: None

"Combat Level: Imperial-level Yellow Gold-rank

"Major: Martial Dao

"Major Skills: Superhuman Strength, Undefeatable Warrior, Unbending Will, Unrestrained Divinity…

"Minor Skills: Demon God Armor, Demon God Shield…

"Summon Authority: Denied (To be activated when you reach imperial level)

"Card Remarks: The second Monster Card that you can show off.

"Demon god-type…"

Seeing that description on the card, Lin Huang recalled the introduction of such a tribe in his memory of the great world. During the ancient era, the demon god and god's blood were the two major tribes of almost of the same rank. They were glorious.

The reason they were fallen later on was mainly because the demon gods needed to maintain pure bloodline in each subgroup while most subgroups had low reproduction. Eventually, that caused the tribe members to drop and soon they were fallen.

Putting away the Herculean King's card into his body, Lin Huang gave his undivided attention to practicing his sword skills. He waited for the remaining three golden eggs to hatch patiently.

In the next afternoon, the second golden egg hatched when the sun was glaring the hottest in the middle of the sky.

It was Charcoal that hatched from the golden egg this time.

Charcoal's body shrunk to approximately 30 meters, but its appearance was at least a grade higher now.

The current Charcoal had shiny scales all over its body like a coat of piano shellac that reflected Lin Huang's image clearly. The scales were like shiny black mirrors.

Not only had it shrunk, but its body was also slenderer now. It lost the clumsiness it had before and seemed rather elegant now.

Although it did not look as suppressive as before, Lin Huang clearly sensed that the aura the current version of Charcoal had was so powerful that it was terrifying.

Charcoal disappeared just when Lin Huang saw it hatch out of the shell. It then appeared before Lin Huang, rubbing its head against him. Lin Huang staggered from the slight scare.

He did not see the dragon's trajectory of movement at all which shocked him a little. "His speed's a few folds faster than Kylie before she elevated!"

He patted Charcoal's head. "Your strength's different from before now. Please behave."

"Hehe, I'm more powerful now! Soon, I'll be able to fight." Charcoal grinned.

"It's still far away from that. Stay in your sealed form patiently." Charcoal's body began to turn into a card as soon as Lin Huang was done speaking.

Lin Huang flipped the card in his hand directly to look at the detailed information on the back.

"Monster Card: Charcoal

"Rarity: Mythical-level

"Monster Name: Demon Flame Dragon (Fire attribute)

"Type of Monster: Dragonkin (Pure Blood) / Ancient Era Demon Dragon Tribe)

"Nickname: Flame Lord

"Combat Level: Imperial-level Yellow Gold-rank

"Major: True Dragon Dao

"Major Skills: Evil Flame, Dragon Power, Dragon Breath, Draconic secret skill, Dragon Realm, Dragon Flame…

"Minor Skills: Elemental Immunity, Divine Regeneration, Physical Reflection…

"Summon Authority: Denied (To be activated when you reach imperial level)

"Card Remarks: Trainable!"

Lin Huang proceeded with his sword practice after putting Charcoal's card away.

On the morning of the 11th day, Lin Huang heard the cracking of an eggshell when he had just washed up and was having a snack.

He looked up and saw a crack that was so subtle that it was almost invisible to the naked eye on the giant golden egg which was so colossal that it was touching the sky. Since he had experienced the same thing twice, Lin Huang proceeded to munch on the dried meat in his hand while waiting for Tyrant to break out of the egg patiently.

Almost 20 minutes had passed when he finished his breakfast in leisure. By then, Tyrant finally hatched from the egg.

Tyrant's height that was over 30,000 meters tall was shrinking rapidly. He only stepped out and appeared before Lin Huang when he shriveled to approximately two meters tall.

"Master."

Lin Huang began taking a closer look at Tyrant that looked almost similar to a human now.

He was over two meters tall with huge muscles bulging all over his body while his skin was its usual bronze color. He had blonde hair now while his pupils were black. The beard on his face was cleanly shaven. He looked like a handsome hunk who was 25 years old at the most.

The once-dark gold armor that was attached to his body was pitch-black and it flaunted his body even more now.

Lin Huang sensed the explosive power coming inside of Tyrant's body unquestionably. Although he was only two meters tall, his real flesh was tens of thousands of meters tall. His power was condensed in each cell of his body.

"Not bad! You're much more powerful now."

Tyrant smirked while scratching the back of his head, feeling bashful.

"I'm sorry that I'll have to seal you guys for a while. I'll release all of you as soon as I've elevated to imperial level." Lin Huang patted Tyrant's shoulder.

Tyrant's body soon began to fade and turned into a card.

Lin Huang looked at the back of the card in his hand right away.

"Monster Card: Tyrant

"Rarity: Mythical-level

"Monster Name: Genie Combat God

"Type of Monster: Archaic-type (Pure Blood) / Celestial Giant Tribe

"Nickname: Combat God

"Combat Level: Imperial-level Yellow Gold-rank

"Major: Combat God Dao, Martial Dao

"Major Skills: Combat God Technique, Combat God Power, Combat God Rage, Combat God Ax…

"Minor Skills: Divine Regeneration, Physical Immunity…

"Summon Authority: Denied (To be activated when you reach imperial level)

"Card Remarks: Trainable!"

Lin Huang put the card back into his body after reading Tyrant's card description. He turned his head and looked at the last golden egg far away for a while before glancing away.

"Bai won't complete his elevation so soon. The materials he digested were a few times more than the standard amount so it will delay the digesting time," Bloody explained while smiling upon noticing Lin Huang's behavior.

"I know." Lin Huang nodded.

He said nothing more. In reality, he was rather worried that Bai would elevate abnormally. The reason being was that he had asked Xiao Hei a couple of days ago if there would be any side effects if Bai used too many integrated materials. Xiao Hei said that the material amount recommended by the system was the best suggestion. Too much or too few might cause the elevation to fail.

Time passed by and another week passed. It was the 18th day since Lin Huang entered the Abyss Brink.

Early in the morning, he finally heard a soft crack.

Chapter 991: Bai Who Has Elevated

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Before Lin Huang managed to wash up, he got out of the tent immediately and looked at the very last golden egg hearing the cracking noise.

He confirmed what he heard was not an illusion upon noticing a tiny hair-line crack on the golden egg.

After washing up, he took his time to finish his breakfast and put the tent that he had been sleeping in for more than half a month away. He then sat on the rocks while waiting for Bai to complete his elevation patiently.

Nobody knew if it was the eggshell that was extra hard or some other reason, but the cracking of Bai's golden egg was significantly slower than Tyrant's and the rest. The golden eggshell finally broke completely and turned into beams of light that penetrated into Bai's body a full three hours later.

Bai took a step forward and arrived before Lin Huang after he completed his elevation.

He did not undergo a major change in terms of appearances. His hair remained white but his eyes were completely bloody red now. There was a red crystal in between his brows that was the size of a thumb while a thin layer of bloody mist lingered around his body.

The black robe he was wearing changed from pure black to crimson patterns that looked like divine patterns. The crimson patterns looked like living things as they were flowing slowly.

Bai's bloody eyes turned back to black when he trained his eyes on Lin Huang. The blood crystal in between his brows sunk back into his skin automatically, disappearing. The bloody mist lingering around his body also faded quickly. Even the crimson patterns on his black robe stopped flowing as if they were just ordinary patterns now.

What puzzled Lin Huang was that he did not sense a powerful aura from him like Tyrant and the rest had. To be exact, he did not sense any cultivator's aura from Bai. It was as if he was just an ordinary person without any cultivation.

"What happened to your aura?" Lin Huang asked while thinking how odd it was.

"I'm hiding it," Bai explained while smiling, "The effect of elevation this time is so amazing that it's out of my expectations."

What he said puzzled Lin Huang even more in the end.

Just when he wanted to probe further, Bai's body began collapsing. Soon, he turned into a golden card hovering mid-air.

Lin Huang was stunned to see the color of the card.

A mythical-level Monster Card was orange in color but Bai's card was golden. From what Lin Huang knew, only a supreme god-level Monster Card would be gold in color.

He stretched out to pick up the card and turned it over to read right away.

"Monster Card: Bai

"Rarity: Supreme God-level (Pseudo)

"Monster Name: Vampire King

"Type of Monster: Fallen God's Blood (Pure Blood) / Blood Demon Tribe

"Nickname: Vampire

"Combat Level: Imperial-level Yellow Gold-rank

"Major: Blood Bond

"Major Skills: Almighty Vampire Particles, Blood Moon, Blood Demon secret skill, Blood Demon Realm…

"Minor Skills: Flesh Regeneration…

"Summon Authority: Denied (to be activated when you reach imperial level)

"Card Remarks: Recommended to train with maximum effort!"

Lin Huang was a little dizzy just looking at the hundreds of skills in Bai's skill slots. There were quite a number of skills that made him envious when he took a glance at them.

"Almighty Vampire Particles

"Function 1: Evolved from Vampire Particles. It can imitate any form as well as constructing any form from one's imagination as long as it doesn't defy the law of physics.

"Function 2: The owner of the skill can read all information about another living thing on the gene level from their blood. It gives the owner of the skill the ability to imitate the subject perfectly (unable to imitate living things possessed by high-level owners)

"Function 3: The owner of the skill with the living thing's blood can influence and assimilate the subject, and turn it into his Blood Servant. The maximum efficiency would be assimilating a living thing of the same combat strength as the owner of the skill.

"Blood Moon: A Blood Moon can be consolidated from Blood Power and Divine Power coming from the owner's body. Every living thing that the moon shines on within the territory will turn into Blood Servants (only applicable to living things with combat strength and level lower than the owner of the skill)"

"Flesh Regeneration: As long as the owner of the skill has 1% of flesh left on his body, he can be resurrected using the remaining portion of flesh."

Apart from these skills, there were a couple more in the Blood Demon secret skill that made Lin Huang envious.

"Blood Demon Embodiment: An Embodiment made of Blood Power and Divine Power. The embodiment will possess 80% of the owner of the skill's abilities and most of the owner's skills. As long as the owner's Blood Power and Divine Power are available, the embodiment can be consolidated over and over again no matter how it is killed.

"Blood Power Extraction: The owner of the skill with any injuries at all can use this skill to extract all living things' blood within his territory and turn it into Blood Power for healing (only applicable to living things with a combat strength and level lower than the owner of the skill)

"Bloody Sacrifice: The owner of the skill can use this skill to sacrifice a massive amount of living things within his territory to acquire temporary level elevation (the sacrificial lives must have a combat strength and level lower than the owner of the skill. The maximum elevation with this skill is one level higher)

"Stealthy Blood: Hide all life aura and transform oneself into a drop of blood to go completely stealthy".

"What's wrong? Any there issues on Bai's elevation?" Bloody could not help but ask when it saw Lin Huang staring at the card silently for a long time.

As his summoning beast, it could not see the card. However, it knew Lin Huang was looking at Bai's card details.

"Nothing." Lin Huang just snapped back to his senses. He put Bai's card away and shook his head while smiling. "Bai elevated to pseudo-supreme god-level directly. Some of his skills are very impressive."

"He elevated to pseudo-supreme god-level directly?!" Bloody gasped. It was clearly surprised. "Man, I'm envious!"

"There's no need to be envious of him. All of you will elevate to supreme god-level as long as you follow me. It's just a matter of time," Lin Huang assured with full confidence.

"A mythical-level quadruple mutated monster is already a legendary figure. It's a little hard for me to imagine how powerful would a quintuple mutated supreme god-level monster be." Bloody was in awe.

Lin Huang thought it was funny as he watched it. Bloody was usually extremely rational, so it was rare for it to take that much interest in something.

Since the mission of elevating his summoning beasts was completed, Lin Huang's goal of coming to the Abyss Brink this time had come to a perfect end. He could even say that it was more than what he bargained for.

Apart from learning about God Bless which was considered to be bad news, overall, the trip was rewarding.

Not only did he obtain a massive amount of cross-ranking kill rewards and six complete legendary-level Monster Cards, but he even acquired sufficient demigod soul crystals to elevate seven of his God Figurines' Combat Souls to imperial-level purple gold-rank. Lastly, he learned how to elevate himself to imperial-level and even obtained 32 broken Godheads that could be used as elevation material.

Lin Huang called out to Bloody after recalling Grimace who was in charge of setting up the illusion and the God Figurine's Combat Soul Undead Styx that was in charge of guarding, "Let's go!"

Bloody snapped back to its senses and returned to Lin Huang's sleeve immediately.

Lin Huang then summoned a Dimensional Portal and stepped into it.

Chapter 992: Bronze Crow City

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang returned to Wanbao City as soon as he came out of the Abyss Brink. However, he did not stay in a hotel this time. Instead, he headed straight to the Wanbao City dimensional portal.

He had lunch and waited for almost two hours before entering the dimensional portal heading to Bronze Crow City.

No. A17 foothold, Bronze Crow City, was one of the two grade-A footholds which the underground organization Purple Crow terrorized in Division 3.

The reason he went there was that he had a massive amount of storage equipment that he needed Yang Ling to unlock for him.

Since he had storage equipment from the great world and other mini worlds, Yang Ling could not unlock them for him from a distance because he would need the storage equipment with him. As a result, Lin Huang could only make the trip to get it done.

He informed Yang Ling that he would visit when he had just gotten out of the Abyss Brink more than two hours ago.

A middle-aged man walked toward him not too far away just when Lin Huang opened the map after coming out of the dimensional portal.

"Brother, do you need accommodation?" asked the man who smirked while speaking through voice transmission, "We offer our special services."

Speechless, Lin Huang did not expect this world to have such a soliciting technique too.

"It's alright. I've already booked a hotel."

"We have everything here. Young ladies or mature women, pick anyone you like. You definitely won't have such service at those usual hotels," continued the man through voice transmission.

"Thanks, I don't need that." Lin Huang waved to reject him outright.

However, just when he was going to key in the name of the hotel on the map, the man spoke through voice transmission again, "If you don't like girls, we have men too. Young boys and old men, you can pick anyone you like. 16 to 60 years old, we have everything."

Lin Huang blocked the voice transmission speechlessly while keying the hotel name in. After setting the coordinates, he hovered into the sky directly, leaving an explosion as he took off.

The middle-aged man turned around after watching Lin Huang leave. He shook off the wretched expression on his face and walked into an alley. He dialed a number after clicking the communication page on his Emperor's Heart Ring.

"I saw Lin Xie. He's going to the Phoenix Hotel now."

A voice came behind him as soon as he was done speaking. "Are you talking about me?"

The middle-aged man turned around stiffly and realized that it was Lin Huang behind him. "You…"

"I already knew that you're not some motel owner as soon as I saw you, let alone some pimp," Lin Huang said while smiling.

The reason he said that was because the Nightmare Tapir who mastered spiritual force could clearly sense bad intention from anyone. The moment the man locked eyes with Lin Huang, the Nightmare Tapir in his body sensed his evil intentions and informed him immediately.

Subsequently, Lin Huang released the God Figurine's Combat Soul, the Nightmare Tapir, to pull the man into dreamland. Everything was just an illusion, from him speaking to Lin Huang to seeing him leave and informing his senior about Lin Huang's arrival.

In reality, the man had just taken a step toward Lin Huang's direction whereby he had yet to even speak to the latter.

Naturally, him speaking to Lin Huang at the moment was an illusion too. It was the Nightmare Tapir who projected the dreamland for Lin Huang, giving him the opportunity to participate in the dreamland.

In the dreamland, the plot went on.

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be someone from God Bless." The middle-aged man's heart jolted when he heard what Lin Huang said. He did not expect his organization to be exposed.

'No, I must send out the news about Lin Xie knowing about the organization. I'll get the higher management to kill him immediately!' He covered his sleeve with his hand while composing a message using telekinesis secretly in his sleeve.

He was relieved when he noticed that Lin Huang did not seem to realize he was sending the message out. However, he had no idea that whatever he was doing in the dreamland was futile.

"You must be a professional intel to be playing tricks before me!" Even Lin Huang admired the man's professionalism when he noticed the man's secret trick.

"So what if you've found out? I've already sent the message out. You can't change the truth even if you killed me." The middle-aged man seemed to be fearless of death at all. His eyes were filled with disdain when he stared at Lin Huang.

"Thanks for making me understand something. I can't underestimate anyone in God Bless." Lin Huang assigned the man the death penalty as soon as he was done speaking. "You may rest in peace."

A flying dagger shot out of his sleeve as soon as he concluded with that sentence. It pierced through the man's head, penetrating the air tens of times faster than the speed of sound.

The head of the middle-aged man, whose combat strength was only mid-level immortal-level, exploded like a watermelon. He did not have time to respond at all.

When he was pulled out of the dreamland back to reality, the middle-aged man collapsed onto the ground all of a sudden and he was pronounced dead.

Lin Huang walked past the body without stopping at all, as if the person's death had nothing to do with him.

However, he secretly used his Divine Telekinesis to steal the Emperor's Heart Ring on the person's finger silently.

Many people surrounded the body after he took a few steps away. He left the crowd without any reaction and walked to an alley hundreds of meters away.

The Nightmare Tapir transferred the information it had retrieved to Bloody in the alley. Bloody then shared the information to Lin Huang after it was done organizing the data.

Lin Huang could not help but frown after looking at the middle-aged man's memory.

"Why did the people from God Bless come to Bronze Crow City?"

From the middle-aged man's memory, all he could see was that most of the higher management from both God Bless branches in Division 3 came to Bronze Crow City two days ago. However, since the middle-aged man was just a normal spy with extremely low authorization, he had no idea what the two branches were doing in the city at the same time. His responsibility was just to monitor the situation around the dimensional portal.

"If I'm not mistaken, it must be something to do with the Purple Crow. You can take a look at the underground organization forum whether the Purple Crow has been up to something recently," Bloody speculated.

Lin Huang looked at the forum immediately and saw a piece of news that the Purple Crow posted a few days ago. He came to a realization after reading it.

'So, the Purple Crow is electing its Crow Spirit!'

Lin Huang was familiar with the Crow Spirit. He had learned from Hong Zhuang earlier that the Crow Spirit was the Purple Crow's Holy Son or Virgen on the surface, but in reality, they were the Crow God's vessel in the world.

Among the candidates, the Crow Spirit who was eventually selected would have his or her consciousness wiped away by the Crow God. The Crow God would take the body and make it its puppet completely.

'So, Hong Zhuang is here to elect the Purple Crow's Crow Spirit?' Lin Huang could not help but think of that possibility. He could not figure out why she would come to Bronze Crow City that was not considered a tourism city instead of any other foothold in Division 3.

'Forget it, I don't care. What that lady does has nothing to do with me. I'm just here to get Yang Ling to help me unlock those stuff. I'll leave right after that instead of causing trouble.' Lin Huang shook his head and pushed the thought out of his head. He turned off the webpage on his Emperor's Heart Ring and hovered into the air. Then, he flew toward the Phoenix Hotel.
