Chapter 1871 Grimace with Terrible Temperament
Lin Huang explored other areas with his Divine Telekinesis after moving on from the battle on Long Han's side.
As he spread out his Divine Telekinesis, he found many other outsiders one after another.
Most of them had encountered the local monsters.
Over two hours later, Lin Huang's Divine Telekinesis finally located his first imperial monster-Grimace.
Grimace had been teleported to an underground snake lair.
In the lair, there were all sorts of snake monsters. However, they did not look normal, and were mutated to different extents.
Some had rotten scales, some had two or even three heads, while others had multiple tails, and even had wings…
The number of snake monsters in the lair seemed to be endless. However, it was almost as if they could not see Grimace, as they allowed him to travel deep into their lair.
All of the snake monsters even went into a frenzy wherever he passed. They attacked everything in their surroundings, including each other.
Just like that, Grimace arrived at the deepest part of the lair without getting hurt at all.
It was a huge underground cave with a giant white python lying inside it.
However, Lin Huang saw that the upper part of its body was human-like. Somehow, there was both a man and a woman.
The two humans were connected to a single white snake tail from the waist down.
"Tsk, tsk. You guys sure are intimate." Grimace only briefly felt conflicted for a second when he saw the snake monster, after which, his eyes flashed and he teased the monster directly, "Or maybe you guys are actually a single entity?"
The snake monster did not bother to reply and attacked Grimace directly.
The male held a spear in one hand. He stabbed it toward Grimace at lightning speed.
The tip of the spear transformed into bolts of lightning and struck toward him. Meanwhile, the female held swords in both hands and attacked as well.
Sword gleams surrounded Grimace from all directions.
They were a spear cultivator and a sword cultivator combo.
Facing a dominator-level rank-9 spear cultivator and a sword cultivator, Grimace did not dare to be careless at all. He dodged quickly.
Watching the two attacking together, even Lin Huang had surprise flashed through his eyes.
The spear cultivator and sword cultivator's standards were on par with legitimate spear cultivators and sword cultivators, especially that woman wielding two swords.
Lin Huang speculated that she might be on par with Lancelot. Her sword force was ferocious, yet agile. It was extremely quick. Meanwhile, the spear cultivator was powerful and majestic.
The two complemented each other well when they fought together. There were almost no flaws at all.
Grimace could only dodge forcefully and bear some of the attacks using his substitute skill occasionally. At that moment, it seemed like he had been completely suppressed.
As a spectator, Lin Huang did not panic at all. Although the white python was powerful, its ability was still limited by its grade. It was far from enough to truly suppress Grimace completely.
Lin Huang knew Grimace pretty well. On a certain level, Grimace's real battle skills were unrivaled against similar-leveled opponents.
There was only one possible method of defeating him, which was if the opponent had terrifying abilities that could suppress him entirely! Otherwise, Grimace could always find ways to turn the tables around.
Although he looked like he was in a passive defensive mode and had close to no ability to fight back at all, Lin Huang knew that he was waiting for the right opportunity. "Hmm?"
As expected, within five minutes, Lin Huang noticed a change on the battlefield.
Grimace suddenly took a step back. He moved out of the battlefield.
It was only then that Lin Huang noticed that Grimace unleashed his ocular skill at some point during the battle.
Meanwhile, the two top halves of the white python on the other side began to fight each other intensely. They seemed to regard each other as archenemies.
"Fortunately, it's only at Omniscience rank-7. If it was a grade higher, my ocular skill might not have worked." Grimace patted his wrinkled clothes and began to watch the battle in silence.
At the same time, it was not limited to just this part of the cave, all of the snake monsters in the entire lair were killing each other. They seemed to have fallen into an endless frenzy.
Many snake monsters began to perish in large numbers.
Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the lair, the white python with two upper bodies had more and more wounds on its body.
"The more rage, resentment and negative emotions you have, the more you'll drown in the nightmare that I created. Only death will free you from all of your negative emotions and end the nightmare…"
Grimace was indulging in the scene of the two killing each other.
Lin Huang saw everything. He shook his head feeling helpless. "This guy's temperament is still so terrible."
He had not been correcting Grimace's temperament recently. It was not that he did not want to, but he found out from Xiao Hei that it was simply Grimace's nature.
All of the imperial monsters had their temperaments reset when they were made into cards. Only their original natures remained. Although they could be changed later, their innate temperaments could not be altered.
Lin Huang had been observing Grimace's behavior. There would be someone monitoring him every time he went out for missions. Lin Huang had wanted to correct his behavior.
He had also thought of altering his nature, but Xiao Hei did not recommend that, as more serious issues might be triggered.
Lin Huang did not want an imperial monster that was a puppet, so he gave up on changing Grimace's nature.
However, this guy would still display his terrible side when no one was watching.
Lin Huang was helpless about that.
Grimace's ocular skill went on for over an hour. The white python's tail was almost split into two, and the male had finally killed the female.
After all, she was skilled at dodging, but she was bound to the other.
Meanwhile, the male was dying. As he had no one to release his negative emotions on, he finally snapped out of the ocular skill. He saw that he had killed his other half.
It was then that he realized that he had been fighting his other half.
He was completely drained of the Dominator Power in his body, and his vitality was almost gone. He did not have the strength to fight anymore. He could only stare at Grimace in resentment. His final bits of vitality faded away a few seconds later.
At that moment, all of the snake monsters in the lair had already died from killing each other.
There was no life in the huge lair.
A hum came from the deepest part of the lair. Grimace walked toward the white python's carcass as he hummed a tune. He squatted down to examine it.
"Its physiology is quite strange… Is this a creation of the mystic territory's master? That master is quite powerful…"
Grimace only put the carcass away a moment later.
He then walked out of the lair and put away the dominator-level carcasses while whistling
Lin Huang watched the entire battle on Grimace's side without being distracted.
He had never doubted his ability before, but he did not expect him to achieve victory so easily.
Chapter 1872 Veiled Lady
After watching Grimace's battle, Lin Huang soon redirected his Divine Telekinesis away and explored other locations.
Three days passed just like that. He had been watching what the others were doing while slowly searching for K'thun.
Throughout the search, he found Bai, Lancelot and Kylie. He observed all of their battles.
By the time half of the fourth day had passed, his Divine Telekinesis suddenly discovered that lady from Snow Domain, whose aura he suspected to be Xue Luo.
"It's her!"
Lin Huang could not help but raise his brows. He had a feeling this lady should be related to Xue Luo.
She was still in a black robe, and her aura and face was covered by a veil.
It would be rude for him to use his Divine Telekinesis to break through her veil and robe, so he could only watch her movements in secret.
The veiled lady was currently on a planet that was filled with plants.
The planet was almost covered entirely in greenery. The plants were so lush that one had nowhere to place their feet.
The problem was that these were not ordinary plants, but Abyssal demonic plants. The threat they posed was no lower than monsters.
The veiled lady had clearly just arrived. She tried her best to conceal her aura. She seemed to be using a shielding technique to isolate her existence so that these plants would not sense her existence.
Even Lin Huang had to admit that her technique was outstanding. If his level of ability did not surpass hers, his Divine Telekinesis might have missed her.
The veiled lady flew across the dense forest. She seemed to be looking for something.
Lin Huang saw her pass by many Abyssal demonic plants along the way, but none of them noticed her or attacked her.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang was curious, "What is she looking for?"
He noticed that, on the planet filled with the Abyssal demonic plants, there was a strong restriction on Divine Telekinesis. The reason why the veiled lady flew around while searching was probably because her Divine Telekinesis was significantly restricted on this planet.
However, the restriction did not affect Lin Huang much.
He soon scanned the entire planet with his Divine Telekinesis. He was surprised to find two dominator-level rank-9 monsters on this planet.
One was a demonic tree, while the other was a demonic vine.
"They've found her…" Lin Huang could not help but frown.
Through the probing of his Divine Telekinesis, he realized that the demonic vine's branches were spread out almost everywhere on the entire planet. Meanwhile, the demonic tree's roots were connected to all of the plants. The two of them could sense the tiniest of changes on this planet clearly. The veiled lady seemed to have concealed her aura as well as using an illusion-type skill, and she was even careful enough to avoid stirring up air current fluctuations while she was flying
However, everything that she did was actually useless. There was nowhere that she could hide in the presence of the two monsters.
The reason why the two monsters did not attack her was because they were waiting for her to fall into their trap.
Lin Huang fell into deep thought as he watched.
"Seems like not all of K'thun's creations have lost their senses. These two clearly haven't."
Almost all of the monsters that he saw throughout the past few days, including the ones at dominator-level rank-8 and dominator-level rank-9, had lost their senses.
He thought all of the monsters that were modified by K'thun would become like that.
This was clearly not the case now.
He could only speculate that the two demonic plants represented cases of successful modification.
Those mutated and insane ones were failed products.
The veiled lady clearly did not know that. She thought her shielding technique was perfect, and that she had not been noticed at all.
Apart from having to fly slower, she could almost probe all areas on this planet with Divine Telekinesis fearlessly.
Lin Huang had no idea whether she was looking for dominator-level rank-9 monsters on this planet or something else.
After searching for half an hour, she seemed to have finally found something. She began to accelerate and flew toward that direction.
A moment later, she appeared in a valley.
There was a big tree that was similar to a willow tree there. It was not too tall, and it was only one to two meters taller than the trees around it. However, its leaves were lush and vibrant, and it had many branches that almost covered the entire valley.
The big tree was one of the two dominator-level rank-9 trees that Lin Huang had discovered earlier.
It suddenly moved as soon as the lady arrived.
Its branches swept toward her densely like whips. They blocked the lady's path of retreat instantly.
The lady dodged with all of her might. A crystal sword was consolidated in her hand. She swung it to destroy the incoming branches.
However, the branches had a terrifying regenerative capacity. They regenerated almost the exact moment they were cut.
The branches were endless and attacked like a tidal wave.
The veiled lady was still fending off the attack easily at first, but as more and more branches joined the battle, things started to become tenuous.
The branches were like maggots chewing on her bones. They were tough to get rid of.
After fighting for some ten minutes and realizing that she could not clear them all, the lady suddenly launched an attack. She performed a hand seal with both hands quickly and summoned an endless sea of fire. It drowned the wave of branches.
Countless branches turned into dust from the high-temperature flames. Although they regenerated quickly, they were soon burned in the fire again.
After that, the cycle of regeneration was halted by the sea of fire.
Even Lin Huang who was watching the battle secretly exclaimed, "Amazing fire!"
However, the veiled lady clearly knew that the opponent was a tough one.
She had merely stopped one of its tricks.
As a fellow dominator-level rank-9 powerhouse, she was not sure what the opponent would do next.
However, she found out a moment later.
The burnt branches were soon carbonized. They turned into black, fiery branches that swept toward the lady.
This time, the branches seemed to ignore the flames completely; they even suppressed the fire wherever they went.
"It inserted fire element Odyl in its branches and elementalized them?!" The veiled lady finally understood what the opponent did.
A dominator-level rank-9 powerhouse would have mastered many Dao seals. Naturally, it would not lack fire element Dao seals.
In reality, she did not find it strange that it did that.
The lady was only confused for a second when she saw that, after which she changed her battle strategy quickly.
In the next second, the fire turned into an ocean.
Endless columns of water stretched out like tentacles. They collided with the fiery branches.
"Elemental Transformation! An amazing change in attack method!" Lin Huang praised again.
One must say that what the lady did proved that she had profound attainments in terms of her elemental Dao seals.
Chapter 1873 One for One
The big tree instantly fell into a disadvantaged state again. The fire on the branches were put out quickly. Clearly, its attainment in terms of elements was lower than the veiled lady.
She had clearly noticed that. Seizing the time before it came up with a plan, she attacked further, riding on the momentum. Endless waves turned into giant beasts, pouncing at the tree.
However, the tree was not to be underestimated. It recalled its fire element Dao seals and swapped back to the wood element.
Although the branches could not absorb the water made of Odyl, they were moving like fish. They were much more agile now.
As the branches were turning the beasts made of the waves into nothingness like threatening wires, the veiled lady smirked at that very moment.
The temperature of the ocean water began to plummet. Before the tree could react, it was frozen.
It did not notice the water surrounding it before. After all, its ability would not be weakened in water.
The veiled lady had undoubtedly come up with this plan when she performed Elemental Transformation the first time.
The moment the tree was frozen, the sword in her hand turned into white lightning and shot at the demonic tree that was unable to move. Everywhere the sword passed turned into white crystals.
In reality, the ice would not usually be able to trap the demonic tree. The lady did not want to trap it. All she needed was to seize the brief moment while it was frozen to launch her killer attack.
The white sword gleam arrived before the demonic tree almost instantly. The second the sword was about to pierce through its body, a purple gleam broke the seal. Subsequently, a purple vine wrapped itself around the demonic tree and pulled it away. It barely dodged the sure-kill attack.
"He had assistance?!" The veiled lady was surprised.
Almost at the same time, countless purple vines broke out of the ice beneath her feet. They wrapped around her legs like snakes.
The lady tapped the tip of her toes and retreated immediately.
The countless purple vines broke out of the ice repeatedly and kept coming at her.
By the time the lady was busy dodging, the demonic tree had finally snapped back to its senses. It stretched its branches out and rejoined the battle.
The lady had just noticed that there was a thick purple vine wrapped around the demonic tree. It was as if there was a giant snake coiled around it.
"Two dominator-level rank-9 powerhouses?!" The lady's expression turned solemn.
In reality, the demonic tree had a similar level of ability as her.
She would have to spend a tremendous amount of effort just to handle one of them.
Now that two of them had appeared at the same time, it made sense that she found herself in a pickle.
She did not have full confidence to defeat even
one.
Now that another one had come, and given that the demonic vine's ability was no weaker than the demonic tree, the difficulty of the battle had just multiplied, and she was forced to fight them both on her own.
Nevertheless, the lady clearly did not plan to retreat just like that. Although she had fallen into the sea of branches and vines of the two demonic plants, she tried her best to dodge and defend instead of trying to pull away.
Lin Huang saw it even more clearly as an observer.
It was wise that the veiled lady had not tried to escape.
The entire planet was under the two plants' control. If she tried to escape, it would beimpossible for her to get away.
The planet had a Space Seal. One could not teleport on the planet.
Moreover, the two plants could get all of the demonic plants on the entire planet to join the hunt.
At that point, she would be drained to death.
Such a predicament might be a little tough even for Lin Huang.
Nevertheless, the lady remained calm until now. She was agile as she kept dodging between the branches and vines. She would only swing her sword occasionally to slice off the branches and vines that she could not dodge.
Time passed by, and the battle between the three of them seemed to have fallen into a stagnant state.
Lin Huang understood that the two demonic plants were hoping to drain the Dominator Power in her body through such high frequency attacks.
They must have figured that she might fight back if they changed their attack mode.
Meanwhile, the lady was probably buying time to try and come up with a strategy.
However, Lin Huang thought her situation was more difficult.
She did not have the ability to fight two head-on.
It would be fine if she was only focusing on one and leaving the other one aside. However, one of them could interrupt her sure-kill attack at any time, as well as attack her weaknesses.
Lin Huang put himself in her shoes and thought of a couple of strategies, but none of them were guaranteed to win the battle.
At that moment, the lady suddenly did something new.
She dodged continuously and pulled some distance away from the two demonic plants.
Subsequently, she performed a hand seal quickly.
In the next second, two figures made of ice began to consolidate in the air.
The figures very soon transformed into the lady's face. Even their aura was exactly the same.
Lin Huang was the only one who could probe the difference in God's soul fluctuations. However, he figured the two demonic plants should not be able to tell which one was the real body.
As soon as the clones were formed, three figures held swords and attacked the two demonic plants at the same time.
Lin Huang could not help but raise his eyebrows when he saw that.
He did not think that the lady was going to collide head-on with the two demonic plants.
As he contemplated, one of them fought the demonic tree, while the other two attacked the purple vine frantically.
Her strategy was obvious. She wanted to stall one to kill the other one first.
The purple vine soon separated from the demonic tree as it was forced to the side by the two ladies. It began to dodge continuously.
The demonic tree wanted to help, but it was stalled by the other lady. Her many tricks forced it to protect itself, and it was helpless to rescue the purple vine.
However, Lin Huang soon noticed that something was off after watching for a while. The demonic tree had been watching the situation on the purple vine side. Facing the lady's persistent and frantic attack, all it wanted to do was to get away. It had no interest in fighting.
On the other hand, the purple vine was not good at defense after all. It had finally revealed its trump card as its hand was forced by the two ladies.
The vines that stretched out began to sprout poisonous thorns. Even its body had turned black.
The demonic tree was even more eager to break away from the lady stalling it when it saw that.
It even ignored the lady's attack and stretched out a portion of its branches in an attempt to interrupt the two ladies.
At that moment, something strange happened!
Out of nowhere, the two ladies suddenly changed positions with the lady that was fighting the demonic tree.
The next second, the two ladies, one left and one right, shot out white gleams, which were made of the battle swords in their hands, at the tree.
On the other side, the lady looked at the vines that had pierced through her body while smiling. She suddenly released the chill in her body, freezing all of the vines that had pierced her body.
It was already too late by the time the purple vine noticed something off.
At the same time, two peerless sword gleams pierced through the demonic tree's body!
One for one!
It was just that the lady had only lost a clone, while the demonic tree had lost its life…
Chapter 1874 Tricky Battle
Even Lin Huang had to admit that the veiled lady's attack method was brilliant.
Her target had always been the demonic tree from the beginning, and not the purple vine.
Her Primordium attacked the purple vine together with a clone. They seemed to have lost their mind, looking as if they were dead-set on killing it. However, it was all an act.
Apart from herself, nobody knew that she was acting
The reason being was that, logically, it made sense for her to want to kill the purple vine first.
The purple vine had weak defensive capabilities and more powerful attack abilities. It was the bigger threat of the two. It should also be comparatively easier to kill, and as such the advantage of killing it first was clear.
However, the two demonic plants did not expect that the lady did the opposite. With that in mind, she had set up a trap on purpose and targeted the demonic tree.
Even Lin Huang had almost been deceived at first. He only noticed that something was off after observing for a while.
The reason being was that he could see her Primordium. He saw that she was controlling her usage of Dominator Power, which was how he came to that conclusion.
After killing the demonic tree, the lady's Primordium and the remaining clone turned around and attacked the purple vine without hesitation.
However, something happened at that moment.
The purple vine stretched out its hundreds of vines and penetrated the demonic tree's carcass. It dragged it underground quickly. At the same time, its aura was growing with every second.
"What a decisive move!" Lin Huang could not help but look up to the purple vine's intelligence even more now when he witnessed its actions.
From that act alone, the modification of this demonic plant was more than a success.
The veiled lady was persistent in going after
it.
She knew that it was not escaping at all, but rather stalling for time. It wanted to absorb the demonic tree's carcass as much as possible in order to strengthen itself.
After spending quite some effort to kill the demonic tree, she did not expect that it would become a source of energy and growth for her enemy instead.
The lady gritted her teeth and continued to dive underground. She struck forth with sword gleams continuously in an attempt to interrupt it.
She also tried to freeze the soil, but the purple vine was like a loach. No matter how she tried to hinder it, it would successfully escape no matter what.
She knew very well that the longer it stalled, the more powerful it would become.
However, she had tried everything as she went, but had minimal success.
The underground was the purple vine's territory.
It was like a fish in water. Though it was carrying a gigantic carcass with it, it was much faster than the veiled lady.
The lady chased after it for a while, but it was getting further and further away.
After sensing the drain on her Dominator Power, she decisively chose to give up the chase and ran back above ground.
Her clone disappeared quickly when she returned above ground.
Meanwhile, her Primordium glanced at the hole in the ground that the purple vine left as it escaped with regret, and flew to the sky directly. She seemed to have given up on fighting and left this planet.
However, at that moment, countless vines shot out of the hole. It was as if a gigantic mouth had opened and was coming at the lady ferociously.
Clearly, the purple vine did not plan to let its enemy leave so easily.
The lady smirked from behind her veil. Just as the countless vines were about to touch her body, she released a chilly aura from her body frantically.
The gigantic mouth made from the countless vines was frozen into an ice sculpture instantly.
The ice even spread downward quickly. It froze the portion of the purple vine's body that was exposed on the ground.
At the same time, the lady's clone appeared at the hole. It was unknown as to when she had performed another hand seal.
A massive wave came pouring into the hole manically.
Lin Huang almost cheered out loud when he saw that.
In reality, he knew from the beginning that the lady did not plan to leave at all.
She seemed to have removed her clone, but it was all just an act. Her clone merely concealed its aura.
Lin Huang was observing the battle with his Divine Telekinesis. Moreover, his Divine Telekinesis was much more powerful than the lady's, so she could not deceive him with her actions at all.
Therefore, he knew from the start that the lady had been pretending to leave. She wanted to lure the enemy out in order to attack it.
However, he did not know how she was going to set up the attack.
Now that he finally saw it, he could not help but secretly exclaim at how brilliant it was.
No matter how deep the purple vine dove underground, and no matter how complicated its body was, as long as there was a gap, the water could go in.
As the lady controlled the rate of freezing, she could totally freeze it underground.
Moreover, as the person who released the water, she could control where the water went perfectly, and as a result would know where the enemy was hiding and attack accurately therefrom.
Lin Huang's Divine Telekinesis saw that even clearer.
The second the purple vine sensed that it was ambushed, without hesitation, it chose to sever its limbs to survive.
It severed all of the frozen vines and continued to escape by digging holes further and further underground.
However, before it could run far, endless water poured in, filling every inch of the space that it dug out.
The second when the entire space was almost filled with water, the piercing cold ice arrived.
It froze the purple vine and the demonic tree's carcass that it had yet to finish absorbing entirely. On the ground, the lady hovered midair.
Eighty-one pairs of crystal wings consolidated instantly. They then turned into 162 crystal sabers and attacked maniacally at the targeted location.
She clearly did not hold back with her attack.
The 162 crystal sabers poured down like a storm, transforming the ground into a bottomless pit… She did not stop just yet, because she did not sense the purple vine's aura dissipating.
The crystal wings on her back poured down like rain over and over again, seemingly trying to turn this area into nothingness.
However, Lin Huang slowly looked solemn.
The lady was too slow after all.
The second the purple vine was frozen, it managed to absorb the demonic tree completely.
As the crystal sabers attacked, not only did its aura not disappear, it became unprecedentedly powerful.
The strength of its aura had far surpassed the veiled lady.
Sensing the unusualness, the lady gave up decisively. She flapped her 81 pairs of crystal wings quickly into the sky.
She wanted to seize the opportunity to escape before the purple vine's aura had peaked and stabilized completely, and before it could focus on the outside world. It was the only opportunity she could use to escape.
However, Lin Huang, who was watching the battle, secretly released a soft sigh. "It's too late…"
The second the lady turned around to escape, the purple vine's aura peaked. It finally focused on what was happening outside its body and locked its Divine Telekinesis on the veiled lady.
Suddenly, countless vines with thorns pierced through the ground from beneath. They were like endless tentacles sweeping toward the lady…
Chapter 1875 Hi, My Name is Lin Huang
The veiled lady's 81 wings flapped frantically as her body rose quickly. She tried to escape out of the planet at the fastest speed possible.
However, countless vines with thorns came after her at an even higher speed.
Feeling helpless, the lady could only turn more wings into sabers to slice the vines that were terrifyingly close to her.
However, the vines regenerated almost the exact second they were sliced.
They came after her again after merely pausing for a second.
Although she tried her best to destroy them, the number of vines that came after her was gradually growing.
Some vines even went around her directly and stretched higher in an attempt to block her path of escape.
The lady could only turn more wings into sabers to slice them in order to break through.
However, she soon found out that everything she did was to no avail.
The reason being was that, at an unknown point in time, the maniacal purple vine was not the only one participating in the battle now.
Almost all of the dominator-level plants on the entire planet started to join in. They did not besiege the lady, but they were stretching out their countless branches and vines frantically. The vines and branches came from all directions. The entire sky above the lady's head had been covered…
Watching the dense branches and vines above her head gradually getting thicker, the veiled lady finally realized that the chances of her escaping were slim.
Uncertainty only appeared in her eyes for a mere second before she became even more determined
She finally unleashed the Dominator Power in her body without holding back. Some tens of her wings were turned into sabers, slicing at the branches and vines in the sky…
Under her full-force Dominator Power, the sabers got rid of all of the obstacles along the way easily.
She did not slow down at all. She was flying even faster than before.
However, Lin Huang who was watching in secret shook his head. "She gave up a little too soon…"
In reality, she should not have used her Dominator Power like that in such a situation. Instead, she should have continued to run as the purple vine went after her, and only unleashed her power at the appropriate time.
However, Lin Huang could understand that she might have felt defeated by having all her plans fail one after the other. Moreover, she might not even be able to find the opportunity to run if this went on. Therefore, she decided to unleash her power directly to charge out immediately.
The consequence of doing that was that, if she failed, she would not have any chance of escaping. The reason being was that she would not have enough Dominator Power in her body to continue fighting the purple vine if she failed.
Naturally, he could see from her determined expression that she knew the consequences of doing so. Since she had decided that, she did not allow herself to have another back-up plan to fall back on.
She ascended quickly as she flapped the tens of pairs of crystal wings.
All of the branches and vines were crushed into dust along the way.
Although the regeneration speed of those hindering obstacles were slow after being crushed, more branches and vines continued to stretch out from the distance. They continued to stack higher and higher.
Meanwhile, the purple vine continued to release more vines everywhere beneath her feet.
Lin Huang watched the battle without blinking. His Divine Telekinesis could clearly sense that, although the obstacles were still stacking up, the lady was actually breaking them faster than they formed.
It was like an egg shell that was becoming thinner as it was being constantly poked by a needle.
Nevertheless, Lin Huang still did not think that she could escape.
The battle was still going on in the lush green battlefield.
Suddenly, a white gleam lit up amidst the lush green. Subsequently, a figure ran out of it quickly.
However, a purple gleam shot up at a higher speed, tying itself around that figure's ankle.
The next second, the white gleam fell at lightning speed. It was being dragged into the lush green battlefield again.
The gap that was torn within the lush green battlefield was fixed the next second.
"Sigh…"
Lin Huang could not help but let out a soft sigh. He disappeared from where he was the next second.
Although the veiled lady sliced off the purple vine that had entangled her ankle as soon as she was dragged back in, more vines came after her.
She was quickly drowned in the sea of purple vines.
The purple vine's giant snake-like body finally revealed itself from its underground hiding place.
It had a human-like look of joy on its face as it gazed in the direction where the lady was being drowned by the vines and branches.
"You can even put on a human expression. You should be considered a creation that K'thun was proud of."
A man's voice suddenly came from above the purple vine.
The purple vine lifted its head immediately to look at the source of the voice. It was clearly shocked.
Not only was it shocked that it had not sensed the person coming, it was even more shocked that it did not sense the person's aura at all even though he was just standing right in front of it.
Before it could do anything, the man pointed at the air.
The next second, the endless sea of vines turned into a sea of fire.
Under the burning of the flames, all of the vines melted like chocolate at a high temperature. They even evaporated entirely.
The purple vine tried to use water element Dao seals to change the vines' element, but soon realized it was futile.
No matter whether they were transformed or not, all of the vines evaporated from the fire. They had no way of resisting at all.
The veiled lady panted hard and looked at the man above the purple vine with a glance. She seemed to be relieved.
Although she had been drowned by the sea of vines earlier, she had transformed all of her wings into sabers and defended herself against all of the vines' attacks.
She did not even suffer any skin-level injuries. It was just that she had almost been drained of all the Dominator Power in her body.
Lin Huang glanced at the lady. He was relieved to see that she was alright.
When he focused on the purple vine again, it had escaped underground directly in a flash.
Clearly, it had sensed that Lin Huang was a tough one, so it chose to escape directly.
"Don't let it escape!" The veiled lady could not help but exclaim out loud.
"Don't worry. It can't escape."
Lin Huang smirked. As soon as he was done speaking, the sea of fire poured into the hole where the purple vine ran into.
A moment later, a devastating shriek came from underground. The ground shook maniacally too.
However, the unusual commotion only lasted for a moment. The shriek stopped abruptly, and the trembling of the ground calmed down completely.
Lin Huang moved his finger in the air lightly. A Divine Telekinesis thread wrapped itself around the purple vine's carcass and pulled it out of the underground.
The purple vine was burnt black entirely. It was like a snake carcass that had been struck by lightning
Lin Huang put it away in his storage space simply and turned around to look at the veiled lady with a smile.
"Hi, my name's Lin Huang. Have we met before?"
Chapter 1876 My Name's Xue Luo
The veiled lady hesitated for a moment before removing the veil.
Lin Huang was stunned the second she revealed her face.
It was a face that looked exactly like Xue Luo's!
"On a certain level, we've indeed met before, and we've met more than once too," the veiled lady said while smiling faintly.
"What's your relationship with Xue Luo?" Lin Huang understood it instantly. She was not Xue Luo, although they looked exactly the same.
"Xue Luo is my clone," the lady in crap explained. "To be exact, she's one of my countless clones."
Lin Huang nodded lightly after he heard that. In reality, he had similar guesses before she told him that.
"You… have recalled her, right?"
Lin Huang asked that because he had not been able to find her.
"I recalled her after you left that mini world," the veiled lady nodded. "You awakened her after she lost her Divine Fire. Something strange happened to her God's soul. If I didn't recall her in time, other dominator-level powerhouses would easily notice how unusual her God's soul was. She would then end up becoming a spiritual medicine for the other powerhouses."
Lin Huang remained silent. He knew that the world of cultivators was cruel like that.
Moreover, it was not rare for a living being to be refined into spiritual medicine.
It also made sense for the veiled lady to recall her clone.
"Aza is coming, so I recalled all of my clones two months ago," the veiled lady added and smiled before she said again, "Then I found out that Xue Luo wasn't the only one of my clones who communicated with you."
"Who else?" Lin Huang asked in slight confusion.
"There's an organization called Star Cluster in that chaotic cosmos you're in, right?" The veiled lady asked.
"Star Cluster?" Lin Huang could not remember.
swe
"Xia Bing." The veiled lady answered directly with a smile.
"Xia Bing?!" Lin Huang did not expect that at all. The reason being was that Xia Bing's face was different from the veiled lady's and Xue Luo. There was a significant difference in their auras as well.
"I have two types of clones. The first type are clones like Xuo Luo that are fleshly clones made from my blood. The other type is like Xia Bing, where I project my will on someone who has just died randomly."
"Therefore, Xia Bing's face and aura are very different from mine. Moreover, I have female and male will projection clones. Some of them are even mutated beasts and Abyssal creatures."
Lin Huang finally understood what had happened after hearing the veiled lady's explanation.
However, she continued after explaining, "In reality, it's not only Xia Bing, the master of the Snow Kingdom, Ice Queen, in the chaotic cosmos you're in, is also my clone. Just like Xue Luo, she's also my fleshly clone."
Lin Huang suddenly recalled Xia Bing telling him that she would go to Snow Kingdom if she could no longer stay in Star Cluster, as she had a friend there.
Now that he thought about it, the friend she mentioned must have been the Ice Queen.
However, he had never met the Ice Queen before. Therefore, he had no idea what she looked like, nor what her aura was like.
"Apart from Xia Bing, you've actually met another of my clones. It's just that you weren't aware of it," the veiled lady continued.
"Who else?" Lin Huang really could not recall.
"Your aura piqued the interest of a dao-level powerhouse when you elevated to lord-level in the virtual realm. A clone I left in the virtual realm sensed that…"
"It was your clone who saved me that time?!" Lin Huang could not figure out who had attacked that time. He had finally figured out the truth now."
"I have a couple of clones in the virtual realm. One of them was guarding the Golden Universe. She sensed your aura when you elevated to Lord," the veiled lady explained, looking calm.
"I didn't know we came across each other so many times." Lin Huang was quite surprised. "So how should I address you now?"
"My Primordial is called Xue Ling-er. All of the names of my fleshly clones are also called Xue Ling-er. However, I thought the name Xue Luo was better after recalling her, so I changed my name to Xue Luo." The veiled lady had been observing Lin Huang's expression when she said that name.
"Xue Luo… It's pretty good." Lin Huang raised his brows and smiled faintly while nodding "Oh, how's Bing Wang? How is he?" He suddenly thought of the yeti that was following Xue Luo back then.
"He's pretty great. I found a solution to elevate his combat strength. He's at dao-level now. Although his ability hasn't reached the required standard to join the war, he's considered a powerhouse in many chaotic cosmoses," Xue Luo responded.
"Your ability on the other hand, has been elevating at a terrifying rate throughout these years." Xue Luo continued, "Although I haven't been watching you throughout these years, I can visualize the rough elevation trajectory through the few encounters you had with my clones. You've elevated to dominator-level rank-9 so quickly. That's a little scary. Also, your ability is more powerful than mine?!"
"And your imperial monsters, they've all been elevated to dominator-level rank-9!"
"I'm a traveler. It's only natural that I have my ways." Lin Huang did not hide his traveler identity.
In reality, it was no longer a secret. One could find out just by requesting it from some intel channels.
Xue Luo merely smiled and did not take him seriously.
She had lived for countless years in this infinite universe. She had witnessed the growth of at least 10,000 travelers.
Although travelers possessed many innate advantages, no matter how powerful their Goldfinger was, it was limited. Most travelers would reach their limit after they surpassed lord-level and got to dao-level. The more powerful ones might be able to get to heavenly dao-level, becoming the most powerful person in a particular chaotic cosmos.
However, there were very few who could surpass the chaotic cosmos they were in and step into dominator-level. Perhaps since the beginning, there were only hundreds of them. There were even fewer who could elevate to dominator-level rank-5, not to mention someone like Lin Huang who had elevated to dominator-level rank-9.
Compared to Lin Huang elevating to rank-9, what Xue Luo was more shocked about was actually the fact that he could cultivate over 20 dominator-level rank-9 imperial monsters.
Although they clearly looked like they had just stepped into dominator-level rank-9, she could sense a faint sense of threat from Bai and the others. This confirmed that their grade was definitely high.
It was a little hard for her to imagine how much resources Lin Huang used exactly to cultivate his imperial monsters to this level.
"How long do you need to rest to recover your combat power?" Lin Huang suddenly asked while Xue Luo's mind was dominated with various thoughts.
"Approximately half a day. I should be able to recover 80% of my ability by then," Xue Luo answered honestly.
recoV
She knew Lin Huang well, so she did not have her guard up against him.
"Then rest. I'll protect you." Lin Huang took the initiative to protect her.
"Wouldn't I be delaying your hunt then?" Xue Luo asked immediately.
"I've been hunting these past few days, but I still can't find K'thun." Lin Huang told her the truth.
"The suppression of Divine Telekinesis in this mystic territory is quite strong indeed." Xue Luo misunderstood that Lin Huang could not find K'thun because his Divine Telekinesis was restricted.
Lin Huang did not bother to explain. "I'm not in a rush anyway. I'll just look at other people's battles when I'm bored."
Xue Luo finally understood as she listened up to this point. It turned out Lin Huang had been secretly watching her battle. That was why he had managed to come so quickly when she was about to be defeated.
Seeing him sitting to the side with his legs crossed, she finally calmed herself down and adjusted her breathing with her eyes closed.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang fell silent and continued to spread out his Divine Telekinesis to watch other battles.
Chapter 1877: Heaven's Secret
Half of a day passed by quickly. By then, Xue Luo's ability had pretty much recovered.
In reality, she had not suffered severe injuries. She had mainly drained herself of Dominator Power.
Seeing that Lin Huang was still sitting there with his legs crossed, she could not help but break the silence. "What's your plan now?"
"Find K'thun and kill her," Lin Huang's answer was simple.
"How confident are you?" Xue Luo asked further.
"100% I think," Lin Huang gave her an honest answer.
His target enemy had always been Aza. Every creature and being under Aza's command was not a threat to him.
Xue Luo was stunned when she heard that. She had actually wanted to ask whether he needed her to be his assistant. Since Lin Huang said he had absolute confidence, she could not continue down this path.
"According to the information we obtained from Heaven's Secret, K'thun should be a second-tier powerhouse under Aza's command. He has more powerful first-tier powerhouses above that. The three most powerful ones of the first-tier are known as Outer Gods."
"I heard that the three of them are so powerful that it's beyond our imagination. Dominator-level rank-9 powerhouses can master hundreds of millions of chaotic cosmoses, while these three might have mastered trillions of chaotic cosmoses. It has far surpassed the limits we could get to."
"Trillions, huh?" Lin Huang raised his eyebrows.
That was nothing to him.
He integrated far more chaotic cosmoses on a daily basis.
"In reality, I'm more curious about how Heaven's Secret obtained such secrets?" Lin Huang changed the subject to the question that he had always had.
Xue Luo sorted through her thoughts before speaking up again when she heard that question.
"I've only heard a little bit about Heaven's Secret, and I don't know if what I heard is completely true, but if you're interested, you can treat it as gossip."
"From what I know, Heaven's Secret was founded very early after the ancient war with Aza. After the war, almost all of the powerhouses above dominator-level rank-7 died. The powerhouses who survived either went into hiding or disappeared."
"Just as the entire infinite universe calmed down, Heaven's Secret suddenly appeared. As soon as they appeared, they announced the news that Aza and His army had been suppressed. They even listed the powerhouses who participated in the war. For a long period of time, they would fill in all sorts of details on the list, such as who died and how they died, those who were suppressed and how it happened, as well as who reincarnated…"
"They exposed things that were impossible to be discovered normally. It's almost like they are aware of everything."
"Some people were suspicious at first. They thought that their news was made up. Later on, many busybodies went to verify them and found out that the news that Heaven's Secret announced was legitimate."
"Since then, Heaven's Secret's reputation has spread like wildfire. They gradually become the most powerful intel organization throughout the entire infinite universe."
"For a period of time, a rumor was spread. They said Heaven's Secret's chief liege refined the Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao. Therefore, he could sense everything in the infinite universe."
Lin Huang raised his eyebrows as he listened up to this point.
He thought that such a rumor was ridiculous.
Since stepping into dominator-level rank-9, he knew that nobody could refine the Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao.
The number of Kingdoms one could contain was limited. Moreover, the infinite universe was ever-expanding, and the Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao was strengthening with each passing minute and second.
It was impossible for someone with a limit to master the limitless.
Even he did not think that the number of chaotic cosmos he integrated everyday could surpass the number of chaotic cosmoses added to the infinite universe.
He knew very well that even the number of chaotic cosmoses he mastered at the moment might not be one-ten-thousandth of the total number of chaotic cosmoses the infinite universe had.
He did not think that anyone was integrating more chaotic cosmoses than he was daily.
If he and Aza could not do it, it was impossible for the rest.
"However, don't take such a rumor seriously. Low level dominator-rank powerhouses might believe it, but we who are at rank-9 know that nobody can refine the Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao." Xue Luo had the same opinion as Lin Huang did.
"However, I have a new speculation based on the rumor," Xue Luo said while smiling, "I suspect that Heaven's Secret's chief liege might have a way to sense some images within the Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao."
"Using something like ocular skills?" Lin Huang instantly understood what Xue Luo meant.
"I also think the possibility of it being an ocular skill is the highest. Or maybe he has an unusual God's soul that can connect with the Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao on some level," Xue Luo added.
Lin Huang nodded lightly when he heard this. Indeed, the speculations that Xue Luo mentioned had the highest possibility.
"Didn't Old Man Heaven's Secret invite you? You can meet their chief liege when the mystic territory exploration ends. Find out what exactly it is," Xue Luo said with a smile.
"Yes, I must meet him." Lin Huang nodded lightly.
He was eager to meet Heaven's Secret's chief liege indeed. It was not to find out his secret, but rather because he wanted to obtain more information about Aza.
Although Death Spring had provided him with much information about Aza, he wanted to know even more.
Heaven's Secret's chief liege was the person who knew the most secrets in the entire infinite universe, and was the most suitable person to ask about this.
After all, Death Spring knew about Aza's past, but Lin Huang was eager to know more about Aza's current situation.
"How much does Snow Domain know about Aza?" Lin Huang asked Xue Luo.
He did not want to let go of any opportunities to learn about Aza.
"I don't know much about Aza." Xue Luo shook her head. "He had been sealed for a couple of eras by the time I was born. If not for the fact that the Abyss became active in this era, many might've forgotten about Aza's existence."
"To be honest, before the mystic territories opened frequently during these past hundred years, I've always thought that Aza was just an ordinary dominator-level rank-9 powerhouse, and that although His ability was more powerful than mine, it should still be limited to an extent."
"Then recently I saw some information that Heaven's Secret sent out, and combined it with my own experiences in some mystic territories. Only then did I begin to realize that this guy is much more powerful than I've ever imagined. We're on completely different levels!"
"If you want to know more about Aza, it's best you ask Heaven's Secret's chief liege directly when you leave this mystic territory," Xue Luo suggested.
Lin Huang nodded. It seemed like Xue Luo might know even less than he did.
After they chatted for a little while longer, she ended up suggesting that they go their own ways.
"I've almost fully recovered now. I can continue hunting now. Go ahead and look for K'thun. I'll seize this opportunity to kill a few more dominator-level rank-9 powerhouses before you kill her."
She figured that she might slow him down. "I'll go watch and learn when you find K'thun."
Lin Huang did not ask her to stay. He merely nodded and watched her leave.
Chapter 1878: I Forgot to Tell Them to Watch the Battle
Time flew by, and a couple of days passed.
Throughout the almost week-long period, Lin Huang had traveled through half of the mystic territory. He observed almost all of his imperial monsters' performances.
Overall, he was quite satisfied.
Today, he had finally located K'thun's hiding place.
She was hiding in a star zone with lush greenery and rich blue water.
Her Primordium had disguised herself as a regular tree on one of the planets. However, her disguise could not escape Lin Huang's Divine Telekinesis.
After all, the strength of their God's souls were on different levels.
Lin Huang could roughly estimate her level of ability after a brief scan.
She should have mastered between three to four trillion chaotic cosmoses. That was at least ten-fold of what Xue Luo had mastered.
Apart from him, one could almost imagine what the consequences would be if other explorers encountered this monster.
Lin Huang appeared above the dense forest directly in a flash.
"Stop hiding, K'thun. Come with me."
The entire dense forest fell silent as soon as he said that. There was not even the sound of wind.
The next second, the forest seemed to have come alive. Countless plants stretched their branches toward the direction where Lin Huang was.
However, Lin Huang just stood there and allowed the plants to attack him.
As all the branches came whipping toward him, they pierced through his body as if he was but a shadow.
Sensing the futility of their attacks, countless branches began to tangle together, forming a gigantic tree. To be exact, the entire planet began to transform, dramatically, into a tree.
Not only that, after the entire planet transformed, the other planets in the entire star zone gathered quickly, and its size continued to expand.
Lin Huang finally saw what K'thun really looked like.
Her true form was similar to an enormous tree that was light gray. Her tentacles were copied from branches and roots, and they spread in all directions, covering the sky.
A big dark green eye opened in the middle of the tree. It locked onto Lin Huang, who was floating in the air.
"You look like you'd be great material for modification…"
K'thun's voice rang into Lin Huang's ears. Her voice sounded like syllables made from the squirming of countless tentacles.
"Thank you for your compliment." Lin Huang was not annoyed, after which he said calmly, "I'll give you one more chance to attack. Give it your best shot."
He knew that if he did not say that, she would definitely want to test him out first. He did not bother to waste his time on her.
K'thun took a good look at Lin Huang, seemingly wanting to see through this man. However, she soon realized that she could not see him through at all.
His aura was like that of an ordinary person who had never cultivated before. This made her realize quickly that she might have encountered a tough one.
Therefore, she did not dare to hold back at all as she adjusted her state and recovered her ability.
Her body was expanding at a size that was visible to the naked eye.
She was only the size of a planet at first, after which she gradually expanded to the size of a star zone. She then grew to the size of a mini world, and continued to grow even further.
She finally stopped growing when her body had expanded to the size of a chaotic cosmos.
Throughout the process, Lin Huang did not try to stop her at all. He allowed her to expand, as her aura skyrocketed. He waited for her transformation to stabilize completely.
K'thun realized that something was unusual about Lin Huang. She did not dare to underestimate the opponent in front of her at all.
She adjusted her state to her peak and gathered strength. Countless tentacles tied themselves together and formed a grayish-green divine spear.
Countless Dao seals were swirling on the spear. She inserted over half of the Dominator Power she had in her body into it.
After performing this series of preparations, the divine spear turned into a green gleam and disappeared.
Almost at the same time, the divine spear arrived less than ten meters in front of Lin Huang. Its edge was pointed directly between his eyebrows.
However, K'thun was completely shocked the next second.
The reason being was that she saw Lin Huang merely extend a finger and tapped the tip of the spear accurately. After that, the attack that she had gathered almost all of her force began to collapse from the tip onward.
Within the blink of an eye, the divine spear had vanished completely.
That stunned K'thun as she stood where she was. Her mind went blank.
"Is this your most powerful attack?" Lin Huang raised his eyebrows. "It can't be considered weak… But it's nothing to me."
He could sense that not only was that her full-force attack, but that she had been drained of half of the Dominator Power she had in Her body. It also meant that it was impossible for her to launch a more powerful attack.
"Who exactly are you?!" K'thun only snapped back to her senses when she heard his comment. She asked in shock.
"I'm just a regular citizen who doesn't want Aza to destroy the infinite universe," Lin Huang answered calmly.
"You should know Aza better. Tell me, how's my attack compared to His?" Lin Huang asked further. He was really eager to know the answer to the question.
K'thun was stunned when she heard the question, after which she failed to hold back and laughed out loud.
"Your attack earlier might be barely on par with Outer Gods. You might not even be one-ten-thousandth as strong as Master Aza!"
"One-ten-thousandth, is it?" Lin Huang was clearly not completely satisfied with this answer. "Seems like you don't know His ability very well either."
He did not mention that the ability that he had unleashed earlier was actually less than one trillionth of what his clone could do.
If it was really as K'thun said, then his clone's little finger could kill Aza easily.
However, he knew that K'thun probably did not understand how terrifying Aza really was, given her ability. To her, 10,000 times of her ability might be no different than 100 million times and one trillion times. The reason being was that she would be killed with a single finger anyway.
"Since you're done, come with me." Lin Huang did not ask for K'thun's permission at all.
After he was done speaking, he stretched out a Divine Telekinesis thread with a thought. He tied up K'thun's body that was comparable to a chaotic cosmos.
The next second, her aura was sealed entirely. Even her God's soul was sealed, She could not move at all. Her body began to shrink drastically. It finally stopped when she had shrunk to three meters.
At the same time, the entire mystic territory began to tremble and collapse.
"What did you do to me?!" K'thun finally snapped back to her senses. She had really been scared by Lin Huang's ability.
In her mind, even Outer Gods could not accomplish this.
Lin Huang did not bother to talk to her. He tossed her into his Kingdom directly.
He lifted his head to look at the mystic territory that was collapsing completely. He raised his eyebrows. "Sigh, I forgot to tell Bai, Xue Luo and the others to watch the battle…"
Chapter 1879: Gold Token
Seeing the mystic territory collapsing, Bai and the others instantly realized that Lin Huang must have gotten K'thun under control.
It also meant that their trip into the mystic territory had ended.
Most of the outsiders looked confused.
Most of them had thought nobody could take down this mystic territory after finding out that the master of the mystic territory was a dominator-level rank-9 powerhouse.
After all, even Old Man Heaven's Secret and the others only displayed their combat strength at dominator-level rank-5.
However, judging by what was happening, someone had clearly killed the master of this mystic territory.
Apart from the imperial monsters under Lin Huang's command, and a small number of people like Xue Luo who knew that it was done by Lin Huang, the rest had no clue at all.
Though they were clueless, they all retreated out of the mystic territory quickly without hesitation.
Before the mystic territory collapsed entirely, all of the outsiders who survived managed to escape without exception.
Lin Huang also left among the crowd.
Xue Luo also came out not long after Lin Huang did.
The two of them locked eyes, and then he heard her voice transmission. "Didn't you ask me to watch the battle?"
"I was too excited and forgot about it." Lin Huang sent a voice transmission over rather helplessly. "It was already done by the time I remembered."
"How powerful is K'thun… compared to me?" Xue Luo asked directly after some hesitation.
"She should have mastered between three trillion to four trillion chaotic cosmoses." Lin Huang did not compare them. Instead, he told her K'thun's ability directly.
"So powerful!" Xue Luo could not help but exclaim, after which she looked at Lin Huang in a strange way. "I have a feeling that you won with ease."
"It's okay. It wasn't that easy." What Lin Huang said was the truth. He had tried his best to retrain his strength in order not to kill her directly.
After all, he had promised Death Spring previously that he would try to bring her back alive.
As the two chatted, the people from Heaven's Secret came out one after the other.
Old Man Heaven's Secret looked at Lin Huang as soon as he came out.
Naturally, he knew that this young man in front of him was the only person who could have possibly killed K'thun.
"Mr. Lin, I wonder if you could sell K'thun's carcass to us?"
Old Man Heaven's Secret's voice transmission reached Lin Huang's ears suddenly.
"I can't do that," Lin Huang rejected him directly, "Because she isn't dead."
"She isn't?!" Old Man Heaven's Secret was stunned to hear that.
"I captured her alive," Lin Huang explained, "I promised someone that I'd bring her back alive."
"Won't there be… trouble?" Old Man Heaven's Secret asked in a concerned manner.
"Don't worry, I've sealed her," Lin Huang explained patiently, "Also, even if she wasn't sealed, that person has sufficient ability to suppress her."
"Someone who can suppress K'thun and ask you to capture her alive…" Old Man Heaven's Secret fell silent for a moment. "Are you talking about Death Spring?"
"Seems like Heaven's Secret really knows many things." Lin Huang nodded while smiling.
"We're relieved that she will be with Senior Death Spring." Old Man Heaven's Secret did not dwell on the topic and asked instead, "I wonder when will Mr. Lin be free to meet our chief liege?"
"I can do that anytime after I'm done dealing with K'thun." Lin Huang was eager to meet Heaven's Secret's chief liege as well.
"Then I'll wait for Mr. Lin to contact me when you're free." Old Man Heaven's Secret flicked his fingers as soon as he was done speaking.
A golden gleam shot out at a terrifying speed. It arrived before Lin Huang instantly.
Lin Huang caught it casually. He found out that it was a golden token that had been thrown to him.
"Heaven's Secret" was engraved on it.
"Heaven's Secret Token?!"
Bloody, who was standing to the side. recognized it from a glance.
"Is this a communication token?" Lin Huang figured out the general function of the token after scanning it with his Divine Telekinesis.
Apart from the communication function, he also saw dimensional Dao tattoos on it.
"It isn't just a communication token," Bloody explained immediately, "The Heaven's Secret Token's nature is a symbol of status Heaven's Secret gives to its members. Not only does it work as a communication device, it connects one to Heaven's Secret's internal network and allows for instant transactions."
"However, one would not get the Heaven's Secret Token even if they purchased intel from Heaven's Secret. One would only obtain it if they spent above a certain amount, and that amount is extremely high."
"Since Heaven's Secret was founded, I think they've only given out over a hundred Heaven's Secret Tokens so far. Among them, most of them were bronze tokens. They've only given out some ten silver tokens. The people who have them are basically leaders of top organizations. Meanwhile, the gold token is only a legend. They haven't seemed to have given out any. This one you have might be the first one."
"What's the difference?" Lin Huang asked in confusion.
"The most important thing is that the authorization of information is different," Bloody continued to say, "One can obtain most of the secrets in the infinite universe. As long as you pay, you can obtain almost all of the information available."
"I heard that having the gold token means that you'd have the chance to meet Heaven's Secret's chief liege once!"
"Apart from that, the possessors of the Heaven's Secret Token would enjoy discounts when they make transactions at Heaven's Secret. One must know that, although they're known to trade information, they trade resources too. The scale is so large that they might rank among the top three among all of the organizations in the infinite universe."
"The possessors of bronze tokens can buy products at Heaven's Secret. They only need to pay 20% interest. Meanwhile, possessors of silver tokens would only have to pay 10% of interest. I don't know how much the possessors of gold tokens would have to pay, but you'd definitely get a better price."
"Not only does this token allow you to communicate and connect to Heaven's Secret's internal network, it comes with a product delivery service as well. You'll receive the products as soon as you pay. The transaction is done instantly. Also, it teleports. It will teleport the possessors of tokens to the nearest Heaven's Secret's store…"
"I think our Sword Alliance should do something similar." Lin Huang did not care about the fact that he had obtained this token after hearing all that. Instead, he was thinking about getting Yang Ling to make something similar with similar functions.
Not only did Bloody and the others notice that Lin Huang had obtained Heaven's Secret Token, many people who stayed behind saw it too.
They were shocked by the fact that the Heaven's Secret Token Old Man Heaven's Secret had given out a gold token.
One had to know that it had never happened in history.
Before Old Man Heaven's Secret gave out the token, even the existence of the Heaven's Secret gold token was considered but a legend.
The people there became even more curious about who this Sword Alliance's chief was.
After giving out the token, Old Man Heaven's Secret said nothing further and left with the two lieges directly.
Naturally, Lin Huang did not care about the people staring at him.
He left with his imperial monsters after saying goodbye to Xue Luo.
The people who stayed behind were still discussing the Heaven's Secret Token.
Chapter 1880: Heaven's Secret Chief Liege
After leaving the mystic territory, Lin Huang went to Death Spring directly and passed the sealed K'thun to him.
Even Death Spring could not help but release a long sigh when he saw what K'thun had turned into. "I can't believe she became like this…"
Lin Huang did not find it strange. "All creatures that are contaminated by Aza will undergo all sorts of strange mutations. Her case isn't considered to be particularly severe."
"Cleanse her for me, I'll handle the rest." Death Spring did not want to waste time chatting and got straight down to business.
Lin Huang nodded lightly and stretched out his hand. He pressed it onto K'thun, and Eternity Fire began to absorb the Abyssal energy in her body and Kingdom quickly.
The process only ended after about half an hour.
K'thun shrieked in devastation for half an hour. Clearly, the cleansing process brought her great pain.
However, she would not have had the strength to resist Lin Huang's at all, even if she had not been sealed. She could only watch the entire thing happen.
As the cleansing continued, the mutation on her body gradually started to fade away. Her tentacles began to turn back into branches, while the scales on her body transformed into tree bark again. Slowly, she turned back into a tree.
Lin Huang noticed that, as the Abyssal energy was cleared from her body, the aura fluctuations coming from her God's soul were clearly different from before.
He only removed the seal when the cleansing process was completed.
However, K'thun was extremely weak at the moment. She had fallen into a state of deep sleep.
Death Spring, who had been watching the entire thing from the side, could not help but exclaim, "I can't believe the cleansing process could be so thorough. She has returned to how she was before she was contaminated."
"I can only say that my Goldfinger is powerful," Lin Huang said while smiling, "What do we do next?"
"I'll reincarnate her. I'll reincarnate her over and over again to wipe away the psychological influence Aza had on her," Death Spring responded while smiling.
"Wouldn't that take a lot of time?" Lin Huang frowned lightly. "We need powerhouses who can participate in the war when Aza comes. Aza might wake up at any time now."
"No, I'll toss Her into another timeline," Death Spring explained.
Lin Huang instantly understood what Death Spring meant. "Then you'll bring her back to our timeline after that?"
"That's right."
"I'll leave it to you then. I'll be waiting for your good news." Lin Huang looked at K'thun, who was still in a state of deep sleep. He knew that she would be in for some torture later.
The reason being was that all of her memories would be wiped during each reincarnation. Then, she would have to turn into all sorts of creatures and experience illness, old age and death. This process would repeat itself tens of thousands of times. Only when the psychological influence Aza had on her was completely wiped out would Dearth Spring bring her back.
Lin Huang fell into deep thought for a moment after leaving Death Spring. He recorded the memory scenes of the entire battle with K'thun into a document and sent it to Bloody and his imperial monsters.
He also spoke to all of them through voice transmission, "K'thun is only a second-tier powerhouse under Aza. I hope that your ability can reach the standard K'thun displayed in the video before the war commenced."
Bai and the others were indeed stressed when they received the video and the message, but they were also motivated.
The reason being was that not only did they see K'thun's ability, they also witnessed the terrifying abilities Lin Huang displayed. It was so powerful that it motivated them to become more powerful.
After sending them the video, Lin Huang decided to send it to Xue Luo as well after some hesitation.
She replied quickly.
"You suppressed her completely…" She sent a terrified emoji.
"K'thun is only considered a second-tier powerhouse under Aza's command after all," Lin Huang responded after thinking about it.
"I can't even compare to His second-tier underling…" Xue Luo replied almost immediately.
"You're already considered a first-tier powerhouse in the infinite universe." Lin Huang avoided the comparison.
He only focused on the serious stuff after the two chatted for a little bit.
He took out the gold token Old Man Heaven's Secret had given him.
He soon sensed the token's functions after inserting his Divine Telekinesis into it.
Just as he was about to contact Old Man Heaven's Secret to arrange his meeting with Heaven's Secret chief liege, his Divine Telekinesis suddenly discovered that there was a door.
He was certain that the door had not been there before.
It had just appeared out of thin air.
Lin Huang thought for a moment while holding his chin. With a little bit of caution and doubt, he spread out his Divine Telekinesis toward the door.
Almost the very second his Divine Telekinesis touched it, Lin Huang felt a fragment of his consciousness taken away.
The next second, the consciousness had arrived in a vast sky full of stars.
"Who is it?!"
Lin Huang's consciousness spread out his Divine Telekinesis. It radiated through the entire chaotic star zone, but he found nothing.
At that moment, a cloud quickly formed not far from where Lin Huang was. It was an irregular-shaped cloud.
A gentle voice emanated from it.
"Hi, Lin Huang. I sensed that you wanted to see me, so I teleported a fragment of your consciousness here through the Heaven's Secret Token."
"You're… Heaven's Secret chief liege?!" Lin Huang asked in an unsure manner. The reason being was that, no matter what, the cloud in front of him did not look like any kind of living being.
"Yes, I'm Heaven's Secret chief liege. I also have another identity…" The cloud responded quickly. "I'm also the Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao that you guys always talk about."
"The infinite universe's Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao?!" Lin Huang widened his eyes. He had all sorts of guesses regarding the Heaven's Secret chief liege's identity before, but he had never thought of this possibility.
The Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao was only an existence in legends. Nobody had ever verified whether such a thing existed or not.
However, many of Lin Huang's doubts were answered when he heard that.
"No wonder Heaven's Secret knows so many secrets in the infinite universe," he could not help but mutter.
"I founded Heaven's Secret. It's used to monitor and handle the unusual organizations in the entire infinite universe," the cloud explained, "Trading information is just a cover."
"So trading information is just a side act…" Lin Huang had never thought that trading information was not Heaven's Secret's main business.
"We trade information just to accumulate sufficient resources to cultivate powerhouses." A calm voice could be heard from the cloud.
"However, from what I know, there's only one dominator-level rank-9 powerhouse in Heaven's Secret. Theoretically, Heaven's Secret's resources should have been enough to cultivate hundreds of dominator-level rank-9 powerhouses, no?" Lin Huang asked with slight confusion.
The Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao laughed when it heard his words. "You're underestimating the resources required to achieve dominator-level rank-9. Apart from the derivatives that came out when the infinite universe was born, it's quite impressive that the entire infinite universe produces three to four dominator-level rank-9 powerhouses in a single era.
"Also, to fight Aza, dominator-level rank-9 powerhouses aren't what we lack, but rather dominator-level rank-9 powerhouses that are powerful enough."
"Heaven's Secret only has one dominator-level rank-9 powerhouse, which is First Liege. Apart from him being qualified, he's the only living being who was born at Peerless rank-10 throughout these tens of eras. I poured all of Heaven's Secret's resources into him, hoping that he can fight Aza."
