The reason why there was an insurmountable gap between true god-level and virtual god-level was because of God Rule Power.
God Rule Power was essentially a beginner Rule Bending Power.
Rule Bending Power was a special power that interfered with the material world directly.
For example, the direction of gravity on Earth was toward the ground. That was a rule. If the rule was changed such that gravity was toward the sky, seawater would flow backward, people would float, and the entire world would be different.
To a certain extent, Rule Bending Power was irresistible. Just like how the animals and plants on Earth would always be affected by Earth's gravity, that would not change as long as they were in Earth's rule field.
Therefore, God Rule Power was completely different from other types of power.
If a person mastered a God Rule Power that petrified anyone he looked at, that person would be petrified. In that case, no matter how much Divine Power the person looked at had, how powerful they were, how fast they were, or how powerful their Divine Telekinesis was, they would be petrified as soon as they were looked at. That was how powerful God Rule Power was. It did not even have much to do with the strength of the person who wielded the power.
Lin Huang's God-slaying Power was a God Rule under the Kill Rule. It was an offensive God Rule that was especially suitable for battles.
The terrifying thing about this God Rule was that as soon as the God-slaying Power cut a person, they would be killed. Even Gods were no exception. Even if it was just a layer of skin, even if there was no blood, the God-slaying Power would kill the person's body and soul together.
Of course, the prerequisite was that there were no other God Rule Powers in the person's body.
If there were, the God Rule Powers would fight and cancel each other out.
However, not all God Rule Powers killed their opponents as cleanly as the God-slaying Power. Many God Rule Powers did not kill their opponents directly.
For example, Forbidden Lamella's God Rule Power was called the Divine Lamella Fire. It was a God Rule under the Fire Rule.
As soon as the Divine Lamella Fire's God Rule Power touched a living being's skin, black flaming scales would form rapidly. The scales would automatically absorb the energy in the host's body and spread it throughout the body. They would also release extremely high temperatures. Not only would the flaming scales hurt the host's body, but they would also burn the soul directly, inflicting excruciating pain.
After the Divine Kylin Fire covered the surface of the skin, it would quickly sink into the lower layers of the skin, into the flesh, into the organs, and then to the bones and brain … It would cause the entire body to be covered with this kind of flaming scales.
In the end, not only would the infected die from the high temperature, but their corpses and souls would also be changed by the Divine Kylin Flame, turning into a monster covered in black scales and becoming a slave of the Divine Kylin Flame.
Naturally, Lin Huang had no idea what Forbidden Lamella's God Rule Power was called, nor did he know what kind of ability this God Rule Power possessed.
However, flame-type God Rule Power usually had high temperatures. Once he came into contact with it, it would not be easy to bear even if he had God Rule Power to resist it.
Even Lin Huang had to be more vigilant.
As soon as the God Rule Power was unleashed, both of them finally revealed their trump cards.
The surrounding onlookers stared with their eyes wide open. It was the first time for most of the onlookers to witness a battle that was close to a True God-level battle at such a close distance.
"No wonder Xie Lin and Forbidden Lamella could defeat the BOSS. They've mastered God Rule Power!"
"If that's the case, could it be possible that Unrivaled God and the others who defeated the BOSS have mastered God Rule Power as well?"
The onlookers discussed among themselves. They all thought that Lin Huang and the rest were able to defeat the BOSS because they had mastered God Rule Power.
On Death's Scythe's side, Twin and Destiny could not help turning their heads to look at Fallen Star. After all, Fallen Star had defeated a BOSS as well.
Noticing the two of them looking at her, Fallen Star shook her head expressionlessly.
"I haven't mastered God Rule."
"Then how did you defeat the BOSS?" Destiny asked immediately.
"I used all my trump cards, and with a bit of luck, I won the battle." Fallen Star's answer was very concise. Noticing that the two of them were still looking at her after she was done, she added somewhat helplessly, "Actually, I encountered three BOSSes in total. The second one was the weakest, but it took me over 30 hours to barely defeat it.
"As for the other two, I was no match for them at all. The first one defeated me completely after a few rounds. Fortunately, I retreated in time and escaped from the room he was guarding. He didn't go after me either. As for the third one, I sensed the aura of death the moment he released his Sword Dao. I retreated without hesitation after stepping half a step into his sensing range. "
While Death's Scythe was chatting, Lin Huang and Forbidden Lamella had begun a new round of battle not far away.
In the air, two sword gleams, one red and one black, collided at an even more terrifying speed.
The glaring scarlet and ink-stained darkness instantly covered half of the sky.
The energy released from the collision of the two sword gleams left marks on the roofs and walls of the buildings around them. Some were only a few centimeters long, while some were a few meters long. However, they left deep marks on the buildings.
Many of the competitors who were watching were shocked when they saw the saber marks.
One must know that even if they attacked with all their might, they might not be able to leave such deep marks on the buildings. Meanwhile, the sword marks were only the result of the energy released from the battle between the two of them.
Most of the onlookers retreated further away when they saw the sword marks, afraid that they would be affected by the battle. If they were unlucky and the energy released cut them, they might be cut in half at the waist.
The red and black sword gleams collided again and again in the air, creating endless thunderous booms.
The howling of the wind caused by the energy repercussions sounded like an army of a million devils from hell wailing in unison.
As the strong winds came from different directions, the rows of lanterns hanging on the eaves would swing here and there. It was as if the gravity in this area was switching directions from time to time.
The buildings had not stopped shaking since the battle began. Moreover, many of them were cut by the energy repercussions of the battle, leaving cuts on them. It felt more like an earthquake than before.
Due to his advantage in strength and speed, Forbidden Lamella was still performing well.
However, Lin Huang's performance was getting better.
Since both of them were using God Rule Power, Lin Huang was reluctant to touch the Divine Lamella Fire. Therefore, he was slightly more serious than before.
The frequency of his footwork was much higher than before. Even the way he attacked with his sword was slightly more meticulous than before.
Before this, he would retreat hundreds of meters each time they collided. However, the distance he retreated was much closer now. It was only about a hundred meters, which was not much further than Forbidden Lamella.
However, only Forbidden Lamella knew that he only seemed to have the upper hand on the surface. Xie Lin was still using him to practice with his sword. Although he was slightly more serious now, there was no difference in essence. His opponent had been dominating the rhythm of the battle. No matter how hard Forbidden Lamella tried, Xie Lin did not seem to treat him as a real opponent that he had to fight with his life on the line.
However, what Forbidden Lamella did not know was that Lin Huang was not looking down on him on purpose. Instead, ever since he had elevated his Sword Dao to true meaning, this was how he dealt with all opponents he could use to practice with his sword. Even if his opponent was one of the top 20 Sword Servants under Great Heaven, he would still use him to practice with his sword. He would only use his real moves to defeat his opponent when he had almost figured out his opponent's Sword Dao.
The reason why he did not kill or defeat Forbidden Lamella after figuring out his Sword Dao was that Lin Huang was still waiting for Unrivaled Combat God and the rest to arrive. He wanted to see how effective they would be when they fought together and how much pressure they could put on him. Moreover, Warlord's investigation results were not out yet. Since he had nothing to do, it would be nice to find a sparring partner to study new sword moves with.
The intense battle between the two lasted for about ten minutes. Suddenly, Warlord's voice transmission came into Lin Huang's ears.
"There's a team of three approaching. Their auras are almost as strong as Forbidden Lamella's!"
Lin Huang raised his brows when he heard that.
Unrivaled Combat God and the rest had finally arrived!
