Smoke and dust rose from every corner of Buried Heaven’s God Territory.

This first clash between Buried Heaven and the raptor was extraordinarily spectacular.

​

However, Lin Huang was frowning slightly as he watched.

Buried Heaven’s situation was not exactly ideal.

Whether it was physical strength, power, or speed, the raptor was still a cut above.

Furthermore, its battle style was based more on instinct. Even when encountering techniques that it had never seen before, it could react accurately in time.

As for Buried Heaven, even though he displayed great initiative and did not withhold any of his martial arts skills, he was gradually losing the upper hand. His tempo of battle was also beginning to be affected by his opponent.

Buried Heaven’s expression was gradually becoming more serious as well.

From the very beginning, he had not made the mistake of underestimating the raptor. However, after they had exchanged blows, he realized that the raptor was more powerful than he had expected.

The six Blood Sickle members could only see the two fighting within the smoke and dust; they seemed to be equally matched.

However, Lin Huang saw what was going on more clearly than the rest.

The raptor’s overall ability was certainly more powerful than Buried Heaven’s, but its ability also had its limits.

Buried Heaven’s advantage was that the God Territory was his turf. The drain on his Divine Power was minimal there.

As long as he stood his ground and fought steadily without making mistakes and did not allow his opponent to affect his tempo of battle, he would, in essence, be undefeatable.

The raptor was only able to remain in the material realm for a limited time. The longer the battle took, the more it would be at a disadvantage.

Lin Huang had initially thought that Buried Heaven would be aware of this logic.

However, he had never expected that Buried Heaven might fall prey to rashness right from the start, to where his battle rhythm now was affected by the raptor.

If this went on and the raptor gained full control of the tempo of battle, Buried Heaven would completely lose his chance to turn things around.

As a bystander, Lin Huang felt somewhat anxious for him as he watched.

However, Buried Heaven’s physical body was currently in his God Territory at the moment. He could not sense anything in the outside world.

If not for the Heavenly Dao’s projection, Lin Huang and the rest would not be able to see anything at all either.

Within the God Territory, the battle between the two combatants was growing increasingly worrying.

Buried Heaven was gradually beginning to lose the upper hand, to where the six Blood Sickle members could clearly see that something was off. They began an anxious discussion.

“Just now, it was very clear he held the advantage; why has the raptor gained control of the tempo of battle all of a sudden?”

“This raptor’s ability is more powerful than Buried Heaven’s, to begin with, and now it’s seized control of the tempo of battle. If this goes on, I’m afraid Buried Heaven’s unification will fail this time.”

“It has nothing to do with how powerful the raptor is. Buried Heaven was too impulsive and gave his opponent an opportunity. The truth is, he’s always held the advantage because that’s his turf. He could defeat the raptor just by stalling it.”

After all, the onlookers were able to see the situation in a much clearer light. The Blood Sickle members’ estimation of the situation was roughly the same as Lin Huang’s previously.

Unfortunately, Buried Heaven could not hear these discussions.

While the few of them were still in a heated debate, the first clash between the two in the God Territory came to an end at last.

Buried Heaven was sent flying by the one-eyed raptor’s heavy blow, shattering dozens of planets.

The discussion among the Blood Sickle members stopped as soon as they saw what was happening in the projection. They stared at the projection with worry in their eyes.

Lin Huang was the only one who raised his brows.

Buried Heaven had lost this first encounter.

However, as far as Buried Heaven was concerned, this might just be a chance for him to regroup.

Lin Huang clearly noticed that while Buried Heaven seemed to have been sent flying, in reality, he had put up a defense at the very last moment and had not suffered any physical harm.

Furthermore, he had utilized the impact of his opponent’s attack to exit the battlefield temporarily. Perhaps he wanted to buy himself some time to replay the battle mentally and find out what the issue had been in the previous encounter.

Lin Huang had always regarded Buried Heaven as a true powerhouse.

A true powerhouse not only had to have formidable abilities but also extreme mental fortitude.

Lin Huang felt that Buried Heaven possessed such qualities.
