Chapter 1692 - It’s Time (1/2)
In the virtual realm cabin, Lin Huang went into closed-door cultivation again.
This time, his main objective was to refine the Kingdoms of Nine Snake and the other Raiders.
In the cabin, days went by.
Lin Huang completely lost all concept of time as he immersed himself fully in the refining process.
It was unclear how much time had passed when he finally managed to refine all nine Kingdoms completely.
On average, the short, burly, bald man and the other five middle-rank Lords had contributed approximately 80 Dao seals, which had given Lin Huang an increase of 483 Dao seals. His Dao tattoos had also shot up to over two million in number.
Nine Snake and the other two upper-rank Lords had added 2,728 Dao seals to Lin Huang's existing total, and his Dao tattoos had increased to over twelve million in number.
This brought the total number of Dao seals in Lin Huang's Kingdom to 4,618 and significantly increased his Dao tattoos to over 33 million.
It could be said that this had exceeded the limits for an upper-rank Lord.
However, this was merely the limit of the power that he was able to use within his Kingdom.
In reality, outside his Kingdom, his ability was still restricted by the strength of his God's soul.
Apart from being able to invoke the three million levels of Dao tattoo power from his three Dao seals, at most, he could only borrow the Dao seal power of the 1,000 Dao seals in his Kingdom to give himself a further boost of 1.8 million levels of Dao seal power.
As long as he did not encounter a top-notch ultimate-rank Lord, he could fight anyone at all.
However, if he descended into his Kingdom, the total number of Dao seals currently within it was enough to defeat all ultimate-rank Lords.
This round of ability boosting was something entirely within the realm of Lin Huang's expectations.
After refining the Kingdoms of the nine Raiders, he did not proceed with the absorption of the twenty-two Origin Energies.
Aside from the two minor dao-level Origin Energies, he fed the remaining twenty spheres to Xiao Hei.
This was because Xiao Hei needed Origin Energy to create various cards.
Lin Huang needed Xiao Hei's help to create a lot of Advance Cards and Combat Strength Upgrade Cards so he could elevate the imperial monsters under his control to a level where they could be useful.
Furthermore, to Lin Huang at present, lord-level inheritances were not of very much use to him, even if there were Sword Dao cultivators and Lords with cultivation paths that specialized in God's soul. For those that were truly useful to Lin Huang, Xiao Hei could also use a small amount of Origin Energy to create Inheritance Cards, so there was no need for Lin Huang to absorb all of the Origin Energies.
As for the two minor dao-level Origin Energies, Lin Huang decided to keep them for the time being.
He would use them when he was finally able to do so.
He was not in a hurry to elevate his ability at present anyway. The twenty Origin Energies that Xiao Hei had absorbed were sufficient to elevate all of his imperial monsters to Pure Spirit rank-6 Lords.
As soon as he returned from the virtual realm to the Demon Eye Star Zone, Lin Huang summoned Yang Ling and passed him the storage rings from Nine Snake and the other Raiders.
Yang Ling immediately sensed the anomaly when he received the dozen or more storage rings. With some curiosity, he scrutinized them.
”This batch of storage rings isn't from our great world, right?” Yang Ling asked off-handedly as he carefully checked the rings.
”They're from the universe.” Lin Huang nodded with a smile.
Yang Ling paused what he was doing when he heard that, and raised his head to look at Lin Huang. ”Raiders?”
”That's right.” The smile on Lin Huang's face did not change.
”You handled all of them?” Yang Ling pursued the matter further.
”Not a single one was left.” Lin Huang nodded again.
”Didn't they send any upper-rank Lords?” Yang Ling was rather puzzled.
Theoretically speaking, since a middle-rank Lord had been killed, there had to be upper-rank Lords among the investigators sent by the Raiders' headquarters. Yang Ling felt that Lin Huang's abilities were likely not enough to handle the investigators that the Raiders sent this time.
