Chapter 1146 - A Different Imperial-level (2/2)

Lin Huang was shocked to hear what Xiao Hei said. He suddenly recalled that the combat strength on his personal card was indeed not ‘imperial-level black gold-rank’, but merely ‘imperial-level’.

He tapped his personal card open again and checked through it. To his astonishment, he realized that the combat strength displayed on it was indeed ‘imperial-level’ only. He was dumbstruck.

“If I don’t elevate from imperial-level black gold-rank to imperial-level purple gold-rank like how it usually goes, how am I elevating based on ranks?” Lin Huang had no idea how should he advance next.

“Think about the people in this gravel world. How do they elevate from imperial-level black gold-rank to imperial-level purple gold-rank?” said the stone tablet’s voice slowly. It did not give Lin Huang a direct solution and asked him that instead.

“One would have to kill an imperial-level monster and take its Life Base for integration in order to elevate. To elevate from imperial-level black gold-rank to imperial-level crimson gold-rank, one would have to kill a monster on imperial-level crimson gold-rank or above to take its Life Base. The process is similar to elevating from immortal-level to imperial-level black gold-rank…” Lin Huang stopped all of a sudden as he muttered, “Do you mean… I’ll integrate more G.o.dheads into my Life Palace that has been formed to elevate it?!”

“It’s a Life Palace anyway. The other elevation methods work no matter how different they are,” the stone tablet informed while smiling.

“So, how many integrations will it take for me to elevate to virtual G.o.d-level?” Lin Huang asked immediately.

“It depends on how many integrations your Life Palace can take and when will it be the limit to integrate G.o.dheads. When there’s no way to integrate any more G.o.dheads, it would mean it’s time for you to elevate to virtual G.o.d-level,” the stone tablet’s tone sounded like everything made sense.

“What you said seems flawless based on logic…” Lin Huang took the stone tablet’s advice which was to integrate G.o.dheads when he was elevating to imperial-level earlier. Eventually, he made it. He thought about it and decided to go with it anyway. “I don’t care how many ranks there are. It’s not too late to elevate to virtual G.o.d-level when I’m done feeding my Life Palace to the point that it can no longer integrate any more G.o.dheads! Meanwhile, I’ll call this Life Palace imperial-level grade-1 then. I’ll add one more grade to it each time the integration goes through. Let’s see how many grades it’ll take for it to reach a full cycle.”

Lin Huang did not notice that the information on his personal card changed automatically as soon as he said that. The original combat strength evolved from ‘imperial-level’ to ‘imperial-level grade-1’.

“Judging by the process through which I elevated to imperial-level, a Virtual G.o.d rank-9 G.o.dhead will be required as the main material for each grade of elevation as well as other ranks of G.o.dheads and broken G.o.dheads as subsidiary materials. I only have three Virtual G.o.d rank-9 G.o.dheads as the main material now, but I don’t have many subsidiary materials.”

Lin Huang had obtained three Virtual G.o.d rank-9 G.o.dheads as his reward when he was on Stairway Tree earlier. They could be used as the main material for the elevation of his combat strength. The problem was that he had used most of the other G.o.dheads and broken G.o.dheads for his previous upgrade to imperial-level. The remaining few were the ones he was now left with when his body could no longer take any more materials earlier. They were insufficient for him to elevate to imperial-level grade-2.

“It might be a little difficult to gather subsidiary materials to get to imperial-level grade-3 and grade-4, but it shouldn’t be too hard to collect enough subsidiary materials to elevate to imperial-level grade-2.”

After making sure that the elevation method was fine, Lin Huang did not hesitate anymore and took out a Virtual G.o.d rank-9 G.o.dhead. He tossed it into his body and threw in the remaining few G.o.dheads and broken G.o.dheads in his storage s.p.a.ce at the same time.

The G.o.dheads and broken G.o.dheads crashed into his Life Palace like a meteor shower. They were soon surrounded by the ten golden Life Wheels that resembled suns. Maroon Divine Fire was spat out of the Life Wheels one after another and drowned the G.o.dheads completely.

Lin Huang felt the refinement progress right away. “The refinement speed almost doubled compared to before. Given the current efficiency of refinement alone without me activating it, it’ll only take six to seven months to refine this Virtual G.o.d rank-9 G.o.dhead fully. If I refine it by myself at all costs, I think I’ll only need approximately a month to complete the refinement.

“What I need to do now is to find enough G.o.dheads to elevate my Life Palace to grade-2 before this Virtual G.o.d rank-9 G.o.dhead is refined completely!”
