Teng Ran had used his innate divine ability to shed his shell and fake his death at the cost of losing his mortal body and returning to his python form.
After emerging from the snake-tailed Virtual God's body in his python form, he did not flee.
Now that his origin body had been discovered, it was tantamount to a complete failure to fake his death. Instead, he calmed down.
"I'm very curious — how did you discover me? Clearly, my fake death was flawless. "
Lin Huang looked at the giant python in front of him and did not immediately make a move. He observed the pair of bat-like wings on the other party's back with some curiosity. Although they were currently in a shrunken state, it was obvious that they were a pair of wings.
"I have a probing god rule technique."
This reason was naturally a cover. He could not possibly say that the truth was that his Goldfinger had not given him a kill notification.
However, Teng Ran nodded silently and accepted this explanation. There were many probing god rules, and it was not surprising that some special probing god rules could detect his fake death.
"I have one more question. Are you at peak True God or heavenly god-level? "Teng Ran asked somewhat reluctantly.
"Neither," the corners of Lin Huang's lips curled up slightly as he answered.
This answer completely dumbfounded Teng Ran. If he was not peak True God or a Heavenly God, could he be a Lord?! He had never considered that the Virtual God rank-6 that Lin Huang had always displayed was his true combat strength.
"You've already asked two questions, so I'll give you one last chance." As Lin Huang spoke, four thousand telekinetic flying daggers floated in front of him, their tips all pointed in the direction of the giant python.
Seeing this, Teng Ran felt a chill run down his spine.
After careful consideration for a moment, he asked his third question.
"Can we shake hands and make peace?"
After asking this question, without waiting for Lin Huang to answer, he hurriedly said, "The Thousand Snake Sect can surrender and even hand over all the items in their storage equipment as compensation. As long as you let those who are still alive leave safely. I admit that we've made a big mistake. We shouldn't have invaded this gravel world that you've already occupied. "
After hearing Teng Ran's words, Lin Huang smiled.
"First of all, I'm a native of this gravel world. What you are invading is not a world that I have conquered, but my home. "
"Second, does the Thousand Snake Sect have the right to shake hands and make peace with us? If you want to talk, it should be the Myriad Tribe Palace behind you, right? "
Lin Huang's words directly revealed the crux of the matter. Teng Ran's heart thumped when he heard this.
Of course, he didn't really want to shake hands and make peace. This suggestion was just to temporarily save his life. He had to avenge his sister's death!
Moreover, as Lin Huang had said, even if the Thousand Snake Sect and Lin Huang came to an agreement, it would be useless. After that, Myriad Tribe Palace only needed to issue a single command, and the Thousand Snake Sect had no choice but to obey. Whether or not they could make peace was not something the Thousand Snake Sect could decide.
"So, my answer is — no!"
As soon as Lin Huang finished speaking, the four thousand telekinetic flying daggers once again transformed into bolts of blood-red lightning and shot toward the giant python that Teng Ran had transformed into.
The bat wings on Teng Ran's back suddenly unfurled. The wings shook violently, and his figure rapidly retreated. His speed was more than ten times faster than when he was in his human form, and he was not much slower than Lin Huang's telekinetic flying daggers.
Seeing this, Lin Huang could not help but raise his eyebrows.
"As expected, his strength is different when he's in his source form."
Many of the Protoss he had killed before were in their mortal forms, and they were killed instantly before they had time to change their forms.
Some of them were in their God's form in battle, and very few of them revealed their source form. This was because once their source form was dead, they would truly be dead.
It was Lin Huang's first time encountering someone like Teng Ran, who first fought in his mortal form and then revealed his source form. He could clearly sense that the difference in strength between the two forms was not insignificant.
In his source form, Teng Ran's control over the rules was obviously higher. Lin Huang even noticed that Teng Ran could now use his Wind Elemental Enlightenment to slightly interfere with the trajectory of his telekinetic flying daggers. Although this effect was very subtle, it was much stronger than before, when he was completely powerless to resist it.
"This little fellow seems to have the bloodline of the primeval era's wild beast, the Soaring Serpent. Although the bloodline is very thin, it's already very impressive that a trace of it remains today and has not been diluted into nothingness by other bloodlines." The stone tablet's voice suddenly rang in Lin Huang's body.
"Soaring Serpent? What's its level? "Lin Huang could not help but ask curiously.
"In the primeval era, those who were called wild beasts were all Holy Spirit rank-6. They had lord-level abilities when they came of age," the stone tablet explained.
"Above Supreme God rank-5 is Holy Spirit rank-6?!" Lin Huang had always guessed that there were even higher levels above Supreme God rank-5. He did not expect to finally find out today that there were Holy Spirits above Supreme God rank-5.
"It's a pity that the Soaring Serpent bloodline in this little brat's body is too thin, and the other bloodlines are too impure. Otherwise, he might have a chance of becoming a lord-level," the stone tablet said rather regretfully.
"He won't be able to become a lord-level even if it's not thin, because he's bound to die here today." Lin Huang took over the conversation. "Not a single one of these invaders can be left alive. Otherwise, they'll only invite disaster sooner."
If they did not leave any survivors, it would take at least a year for the news to reach Myriad Tribe Palace. As long as one survived and escaped back to the great world, the abnormality in the gravel world would be reported back to Myriad Tribe Palace on the same day.
Although Lin Huang did not think that he could improve his abilities enough to fight against Myriad Tribe Palace in a year's time, he would at least have time to think of other ways if he delayed for at least a year.
However, if Myriad Tribe Palace found out about the abnormality in the gravel world now, the entire gravel world was likely to be destroyed on the same day.
This was also the reason why Lin Huang was unwilling to make peace with Teng Ran. Even if Teng Ran could promise not to report what happened here to Myriad Tribe Palace, it was difficult to prevent others from secretly leaking the news. After all, the truth could not be wrapped up in paper. As long as something like this happened, sooner or later, it would be exposed one day.
The only way to solve this problem was to silence them. This was also the safest thing to do.
The stone tablet did not say anything more. It only sensed that Teng Ran had the Soaring Serpent Bloodline in his body and was slightly moved. Even if Teng Ran had the complete Soaring Serpent Bloodline in his body, it would not stop Lin Huang if he wanted to kill him.
Although Teng Ran had the Holy Spirit Bloodline in his body, the bloodline was too thin. In fact, it did not bring much improvement to his abilities. It only increased his potential in the wind and water elemental attributes significantly.
Of the eleven types of Control-level God Rule Powers that he had mastered, six of them were Elemental Enlightenments of these two types.
However, Teng Ran did not seem to know that he had the Soaring Serpent Bloodline in his body. It was even possible that he did not know that he had talent in Wind and Water Elemental Enlightenments in the beginning. The sixty-seven Rule Bending Powers that he cultivated were very complicated. Most of them had nothing to do with Wind and Water Elemental Enlightenments, which wasted a lot of time and energy.
If he had focused on Wind and Water Elemental Enlightenments for so many years, he might have reached Control-level in twenty to thirty Elemental Enlightenments, and he might even have broken through to Complete Mastery.
