1375 Returning To The Great World (2/2)
Inside was a small thumb-sized sheet of metal. When he saw the object, Buried Heaven's eyes lit up suddenly.
”You're still alive!”
He had given Lin Huang this piece of metal before the Great Heaven Territory opened. It was meant for recording information about the inheritance.
Buried Heaven stowed the sheet of metal in his storage space. Without hesitation, he summoned the green snake again and disappeared on the spot.
When he reappeared, he had already returned to the Death Sickle headquarters.
Instead of going back to the conference room, however, he went directly to his palace.
Buried Heaven made sure the gates of the god sequence relic palace were securely fastened and all the multiple layers of locks were fully disarmed. Only then did he take out the sheet of black metal he had retrieved earlier and carefully enter Divine Telekinesis into it.
After a brief moment where his eyes were dazzled, he found himself in an unfamiliar starry sky.
He saw an imposing man wielding a sword in one hand. With just one effortless swing of the man's blade, before Buried Heaven's very eyes, the entire galaxy and its myriad stars shook violently.
An instant later, the entire galaxy fractured and disintegrated into two halves, as if someone had sliced a sheet of white paper in half with a sword
Buried Heaven looked down at himself; somehow—he did not know when—he had been sliced apart at the waist without realizing it. As soon as the world went dark in front of his eyes, his consciousness returned to his body.
When his consciousness returned, he was soaked through with cold sweat, gasping laboredly for breath.
”Can this really be achieved at heavenly god-level?!”
Even though Buried Heaven knew that Great Heaven—an unprecedented genius who dominated an entire era—would be stronger than him, he never expected the gap in their abilities to be so astoundingly great.
If he had really encountered Great Heaven, he would have been killed instantly!
Buried Heaven gave a helpless, bitter smile.
Just a casual sweep of the other's blade had rendered him completely defenseless.
It took him quite a while before he calmed down from the shock of the attack earlier.
”You're even able to take over the inheritance of a fellow like this—what kind of monster are you, Xie Lin?”
…
Lin Huang had long since departed the Iron Fist Shelter.
To avoid being remembered, he had stayed in the Great Heaven Territory for more than half a month and had only just arrived a day ago in the God Territory with 68 Sword Servants.
Since the identity of Xie Lin could no longer be used, he wore the Thousand Face mask and altered his face again for this visit.
He went to the Iron Fist Shelter first thing while the Sword Servants scattered and hid in the other grade-3 or grade-4 Shelters around the Iron Fist Shelter.
Lin Huang contacted Yang Ling once more the minute he arrived at the Iron Fist Shelter. This time he was making a large order—not only did he need to create a new identity for himself, but he also had to create a fake identity for each of the 68 Sword Servants.
Yang Ling was speechless at suddenly receiving such a big order.
After resting in the Iron Fist Shelter for a night, Lin Huang took Sword301 and Sword302 to a grade-4 Shelter and prepared to carry out the next phase of the plan.
Including his time in the Great Heaven Territory, he had been away from the gravel world for almost half a year. Improving his abilities was becoming a much more pressing matter.
Lin Huang's combat strength had been stagnant at grade-9 Imperial-level; he did not feel that he had reached the critical point even after so long.
Initially, he had no idea what to do. However, after accepting the Great Heaven inheritance, Lin Huang had finally found a solution to the problem.
It was not that Great Heaven's inheritance memories contained a similar situation; it was the way Great Heaven dealt with problems that allowed Lin Huang to find an answer.
Since he had not arrived at the critical point for a breakthrough after so long, he would continue to refine more Godheads until the critical point could be sensed!
