Chapter 1613: Elevating to Heavenly God-Level!
In the Great Heaven Palace, Lin Huang adjusted the time flow once more to be one thousand times faster than the outside world. He then brought his mind into a calm, meditative state and sat down cross-legged.
He retrieved the headless corpses of the twins Shen Yu and Shen Jue, then began refining the God Territories within their bodies.
In all honesty, he did not care how many god rules he could plunder from them.
Previously in the Abyss, he had already obtained over five thousand God Territory Shell Remnants.
The Eternity Fire had already devoured all the Abyssal energy remaining in this earlier batch of God Territory Shell Remnants.
Lin Huang’s main objective in killing Shen Yu, Shen Jue, and the other twenty-four targets was actually to plunder resources and obtain the mission rewards. Plundering God Territories was just a habit.
After all, in order to trade for half-step Lord God Territories, one required a massive amount of resources.
What Lin Huang had not expected was that the net worth of all twenty-six people he had assassinated was far beyond anything he could have possibly imagined. The loot that he obtained from this round of assassination was enough to allow him to elevate to ninth-rank heavenly god-level.
Within merely half an hour, Lin Huang had fully completed the refinement of Shen Yu and Shen Jue’s God Territories. The pair contributed a significant number of god rules—added up together, they numbered over two million in total.
He had already refined the God Territories of the other twenty-four targets one by one and plundered their god rules when he had been lying low in Gemini, waiting for a chance to carry out his assassinations.
None of the twenty-four targets possessed more than a million god rules each. When the god rules were all added up together, they came to a total of less than 15 million.
After refining Shen Yu and Shen Jue’s God Territories, Lin Huang opened his eyes and glanced briefly at the two headless corpses in front of him. Casually, he produced two blood-red flames and immediately burned the bodies to ash in no time at all.
After disposing of the bodies, Lin Huang did not give them a second glance. Instead, he closed his eyes and resumed refining the five thousand and more Abyssal God Territory Shell Remnants within his body.
Time passed in the Great Heaven Palace.
When Lin Huang opened his eyes again, one week had already gone by.
The Godly Right in his body had already reached the maximum number of god rules it could contain, but he persisted and refined all five thousand-plus God Territory Shell Remnants.
As for the extraneous God Rule Powers, Lin Huang put all of them into the mainland area where the gravel world was.
By now, he had plundered many thousands of God Territories. There were complete gravel worlds or mini worlds in many of these God Territories; there were even a considerable number of living beings in existence.
Lin Huang had preserved everything. On some level, these living beings in the refined worlds were his all people. Essentially, this was no different from the gravel world.
It was just that he possessed a certain affection for the gravel world that he had grown up on, so he took special care of its inhabitants.
By the time his god rules had reached the limit of what his Godly Right could hold, Lin Huang’s combat strength had finally elevated to full tenth-rank true god-level as well.
After he achieved this stage, he could clearly feel that his physical body and spirit strength had grown stronger once more.
He experimented a little and discovered that his body could now sustain twenty levels of compounded sequence power.
Theoretically, in this present state, he could break through to heavenly god-level entirely.
However, Lin Huang did not do that. Instead, he closed his eyes again and sent his mind into his inner world. He then began to visualize the nameless Divine Telekinesis visualization images.
Before going into the Abyss, by the time he had visualized the 80th image, he had reached the limit his God’s soul could sustain. His visualization efficiency had plummeted.
Now, his combat strength had elevated to full tenth-rank true god-level. Not only that, his God’s soul had been refined by the Immeasurable Calamity Fire, and his God soul’s strength was at least a hundred times more powerful than before.
He felt that it was the right time to visualize this set of inheritances again.
Before elevating to heavenly god-level, he wanted to raise his God’s soul’s strength even further.
This was because he knew that each level of advancement was an opportunity for transformation.
The stronger his foundation, the better his transformation results would be.
Now that he was visualizing this set of inheritances again, Lin Huang was absolutely certain that it was progressing much faster than before.
Based on his current God’s soul’s strength, he would still need two years of outside world time to completely visualize the 81st to the 90th visualization image, despite time being sped up a thousand times.
However, he merely used around six years to fully complete the visualization this time. Less than two and a half days had passed in the outside world.
The visualization this time had gone so quickly because apart from his God’s soul becoming stronger, his innate understanding had also increased after being refined by the Immeasurable Calamity Fire.
After he was done visualizing the 90th visualization image, Lin Huang realized that his God’s soul’s strength had broken through the limit for Heavenly Gods. Although he had not reached lord-level yet, he supposed he was already at the level of a half-step lord.
As his God’s soul became stronger, Seamless’ separation of telekinetic thread accelerated again.
The automatic hourly separation had now increased to thirty thousand threads.
Seeing that he still seemed to have energy left, Lin Huang looked at the 91st visualization image.
He tried to visualize it for a little bit; it did not take him long to calculate the visualization speed. Given his current state, approximately a month would pass in the outside world for him to visualize all the way to the 100th image.
Lin Huang felt that this was an acceptable period of time. He then entered another round of closed-door cultivation and began to visualize the rest of the visualization images.
Eighty-one years passed by as he did so.
Although the time flow in the Great Heaven Palace was one thousand times faster, almost a month passed in the outside world still.
When Lin Huang opened his eyes again, he felt that his God’s soul had once again become stronger.
He did not know if it had reached lord-level strength, but he could clearly sense that it was more than a few times more powerful than a month ago.
He did not continue trying to visualize the last eight images.
This was because he knew that it would take several dozen times, perhaps even several hundred times, longer. For now, he did not have that sort of time.
Now that he had pushed his God’s soul’s strength to its limit, Lin Huang finally let out a long sigh.
“After this, I’ll just follow my original plan for my breakthrough.”
A thumb-sized purple crystal appeared in his hand.
It was the God Territory Shell Remnant of a half-step Lord.
Lin Huang flicked his fingers and sank the crystal into his brow. He then activated the Divine Fire in his body to refine it.
This round of refinement was not considered very long—it only took around three hundred days or so to complete both the refinement and integration.
The moment the integration was fully complete, Lin Huang sensed waves of new energy emanating from his God Territory and feeding back into his body.
He observed carefully for a while before discovering that these were sequence powers issuing from countless god sequence chains.
Although he was familiar with sequence powers and had even successfully consolidated god sequence chains, Lin Huang had only borrowed sequence powers in the past. The cells in his body were still full of God Rule Power.
However, at this very instant, countless sequence powers started surging into every cell and particle of his body, beginning another round of cleansing his entire physical body as well as his God’s soul.
He could clearly feel that his physical body was transforming. Even his God’s soul was undergoing a further change.
His entire body was being continuously fortified—from each strand of hair on his head down to his skin, his bones, his inner organs, and every particle that made up his body.
The process lasted a full twelve days before finally coming to an end.
Lin Huang sensed things out carefully; he felt that he was now so powerful, he was practically invincible.
To test his limits, he rapidly began stacking and compounding layers of sequence power onto his fingertips.
Ten layers!
Twenty layers!
Thirty layers!
…
Eighty layers!
Ninety layers!
One hundred layers!
Once he had stacked and compounded one hundred layers, Lin Huang finally began to feel that his body was being burdened.
He did not go on, as he already had a rough idea now of his limits.
One must know that going from twenty layers to one hundred layers was not just a simple matter of fivefold multiplication.
Each additional layer of stacked and compounded sequence power would result in a surge of potential ability.
“Right now, I think I might be able to defeat Buried Heaven with one hand,” Lin Huang mumbled softly, “Of course, the caveat is that he hasn’t broken through to lord-level yet.”
Lin Huang was only saying this, of course.
He knew that he was more powerful than Buried Heaven if he were to base this solely on the number of sequence powers he could compound. In that regard, he was even more powerful than Great Heaven, who had dominated an entire era back in the day.
However, he was not sure what would happen if he really were to attack.
After all, Great Heaven could massacre half-step lord-level powerhouses back then, while Buried Heaven had a record of battling half-step Lords as well.
“I genuinely would like to know how powerful a half-step lord-level powerhouse is!”
