Chapter 1599: Lin Huang Versus Sword1

Lin Huang had utterly not anticipated that the benefits he obtained from this Soul seal fragment would so greatly surpass his expectations.

Although there was no Soul Dao inheritance in this Soul seal fragment, there was an Immeasurable Calamity Fire tinder concealed within it.

As soon as it had been integrated, the tinder was swiftly set ablaze. Not only had the flame grown, but it had also fully cleansed Lin Huang inside out.

Lin Huang checked carefully and discovered that the benefits he had reaped were considerable.

His physical strength had originally been merely at ninth-rank heavenly god-level, but now it had achieved peak ninth-rank heavenly god-level.

Ninth-rank heavenly god-level combat cultivators aside, his physical body was in no way weaker than any other top-tier ninth-rank powerhouse.

His God’s soul was also strong enough to reach peak ninth-rank heavenly god-level, which might possibly be second only to a ninth-rank heavenly god-level Soul Dao cultivator.

Even the speed of Seamless’s normal revolutions had increased approximately threefold. The number of telekinetic thread divisions per hour had elevated to nine thousand threads.

His Divine Telekinesis had also reached peak ninth-rank heavenly god-level strength.

If he were to use only telekinetic weapons, he would still be evenly matched against most top ninth-rank heavenly god-level powerhouses.

The Sword Soul’s strengthening by the flame had caused Lin Huang’s Sword Heart to become even more intensely luminous. He had only just elevated to Heavenly Heart Sword Dao not long ago, and now he was already at the peak of Heavenly Heart.

Aside from that, the size of his entire God Territory had increased almost onefold.

It had to be said that the benefits Lin Huang had reaped from the Immeasurable Calamity Fire far surpassed what he would have gotten by directly obtaining a Soul Dao Inheritance.

Anyway, in truth, Lin Huang did not lack for Soul Dao Inheritances. He had yet to digest the half-step lord-level telekinesis inheritance he had obtained from God Capital previously.

The inheritance had come from a half-step lord-level Divine Telekinesis Master, and Lin Huang felt it was a better fit for his specialization.

Not only that, the nameless Divine Telekinesis visualization images from the inheritance had come from an unknown civilization in the ancient era. According to Lin Huang’s inherited memory, this half-step Lord had not completed visualizing them either.

Out of one hundred and eight visualization images, Lin Huang had only visualized eighty of them at present.

As it took too much time to visualize the later images, he could only put them aside for now.

Lin Huang’s thoughts drifted for a while before he looked at the red flame burning in his palm.

“The Immeasurable Calamity Fire…”

This was a flame that could aid in cultivation. Its main purpose was to assist in Soul Dao cultivation, but it could be used to aid in physical cultivation as well.

Since the Immeasurable Calamity Fire came with unique attributes, it could consume any sort of flame. It could also replicate all the characteristics of the flames that it consumed.

It could even imitate all sorts of Fire God Rules and god sequence chains…

However, Lin Huang was thinking about something else as he stared at the ever-changing form of the Immeasurable Calamity Fire in his palm.

Did Virtuoso know that there was this Immeasurable Calamity Fire hidden in the inheritance?!

One had to be aware that Lin Huang had almost been killed by the Immeasurable Calamity Fire earlier.

This inheritance appeared to have helped him progress. In reality, however, it concealed an infinitely murderous intent.

If Virtuoso had known prior to this that the Immeasurable Calamity Fire was concealed in the inheritance, it proved that they had intended to dispose of Lin Huang and wanted to seize the opportunity to kill him.

However, upon careful consideration, Lin Huang felt it was not very likely that Virtuoso would know about the Immeasurable Calamity Fire.

After reaching an agreement with Virtuoso regarding the Abyss trip, Lin Huang had used Death Sickle’s channels at the first possible chance so that he could check for information about the Dao seal fragment he had received as pre-payment.

Through Odyl, half-step Lords and lord-level powerhouses could indeed discover the attributes of various Dao seal fragments and some other general information. However, they would not be able to tell what information was contained within the seal.

Only by refining could one discover in detail the contents of the Dao seal fragment.

Furthermore, each Dao seal fragment would be imprinted in the refiner’s body after refinement. It could not be extracted unless the refiner died.

There was also another reason why Lin Huang felt fairly sure that Virtuoso knew nothing about the Immeasurable Calamity Fire.

When Virtuoso initially invited Lin Huang to enter the Abyss with them, the proposed condition was to first pay Lin Huang the Soul seal fragment, with the Sword seal fragment to be paid upon completion of the deal. It was Lin Huang who had requested for the Sword seal fragment first and the Soul seal fragment at the end of the trip.

If both of them had gone by Virtuoso’s original arrangement, Lin Huang would have obtained the Soul seal fragment first.

If he had died at that point, it was of no benefit to Virtuoso when going into the Abyss.

Lin Huang’s excessive caution was not because he lacked trust in his friends.

It was just that after hearing Yang Ling’s story, he could not help but be extremely vigilant.

A Raider could masquerade as Yang Ling’s brother, lying low around him for over ten thousand years just for the opportunity to plunder the Goldfinger within him.

It was entirely possible for them to disguise themselves with any identity, just to get close to Lin Huang.

In truth, Lin Huang did not really trust the Club’s headquarters, much less one of their small branches.

After all, everything about the Club that he learned, including their stance against the Raiders, had been revealed by the Club members themselves.

He had not been able to find out anything at all about the Club on other channels.

Fortunately, this time it was all smoke and no fire. Not only had he not died, but he had also advanced even further in his abilities.

He was sufficiently confident in himself at present. Apart from lord-level and half-step lord-level entities, he did not fear being challenged by any other powerhouses.

Lin Huang put away the fire in his palm, his eyes gleaming brightly. He got up and pushed open the doors of the Great Heaven Palace.

When he saw that Lin Huang had come out of closed-door cultivation, Sword1 hurriedly stood up from his cross-legged position at the doors.

It did not matter if Lin Huang was at the Great Heaven Palace or not—Sword1 never abandoned his role as a guardian. Day and night, he kept watch at the doors of the Great Heaven Palace.

When he sensed Lin Huang’s aura, delight flashed through Sword1’s eyes once more.

“You seemed to have improved again during this round of closed-door cultivation, Lord Swordmaster.”

“A little bit.”

Lin Huang nodded lightly and took a few steps forward. He suddenly turned his head to look at Sword1.

“Sword1, come to the arena with me. I want to see what the level of my actual combat skill is now.”

“Of course, Lord Swordmaster,” Sword1 agreed without hesitation. He was also eager to find out how powerful Lin Huang was now.

One reason why Lin Huang chose Sword1 to be his sparring opponent was that he was the nearest in proximity. Another reason was that Sword1’s ability was considered to be the best among all the Heavenly Gods—close to half-step Lord even.

Lin Huang wanted to know if his abilities had reached the same level as Sword1. If not, he wished to find out how far apart they were.

The two of them entered the arena and fought intensely for one full day before finally ending the battle.

In truth, approximately half an hour after the battle began, Lin Huang already knew that his abilities were lacking in comparison with Sword1.

Going by just the number of sequences that each of them could use, Lin Huang was already outclassed.

Although the Immeasurable Calamity Fire had made Lin Huang stronger, his physical body and spirit strength could only sustain eighteen god sequence chains at most.

As a rank-5.5 super genius, Sword1 had mastered thirty-one god sequence chains. Even though he had suppressed his ability to match Lin Huang’s level, only using eighteen god sequence chains, his familiarity with sequence power and his combat experience were things that Lin Huang could not compare with by far.

To Sword1, the final sparring result was a draw. However, Lin Huang himself knew that he had lost.

In the great world, Sword1’s ability would certainly be ranked as one of the top three powerhouses below half-step lord-level.

Being able to face a powerhouse like this on equal footing was sufficient proof of Lin Huang’s own abilities.

As Sword1 had screened off the sparring session, none of the other Sword Servants witnessed it.

However, the next day after Lin Huang had left, some Sword Servants still managed to find out about the spar and that Lin Huang and Sword1 were evenly matched in battle.

The news immediately spread like wildfire to all the Sword Servants. All of them were in a state of disbelief when they first heard this, but after that, their admiration for Lin Huang knew no bounds.

Only Sword1 remained seated at the doors of the Great Heaven Palace, cross-legged and eyes closed, looking as if nothing had happened.

However, if anyone were to look closely, they would see that the corners of his mouth had quirked up in the tiniest of smiles.
