The Jealousies' territory was even vaster than the Furies they had encountered earlier. Lin Huang and the rest spent an entire day before they walked out of the Jealousies' territory.
Along the way, they encountered over forty Jealousies. They came in all shapes and sizes, and each of them was weirder than the last.
Lin Huang and the rest were targeted by Jealousies for all sorts of baffling reasons.
For example, "Why are you so good-looking?!" directed at Lin Huang. "Why is your mask so good-looking?!" directed at Virtuoso. "You're so old, but why do you still have such a good aura?!" directed at Saber9. "Why is your beard so thick?!" directed at Tu Tong. "You're so short, but why are you so well-developed?!" directed at Lan Ling.
Fortunately, with Lan Ling's warning, they avoided the high-level Jealousies. The low-level and middle-level Jealousies did not pose much of a threat to Lin Huang and the rest.
After leaving the Jealousies' territory, Lan Ling immediately carried out a new round of investigation.
"Greed's territory is up ahead."
"We're finally getting some benefits," Tu Tong said with a smile.
He said this because monsters like Greed would often drop all sorts of materials after they were killed. Sometimes, they would even drop rare materials.
"Don't be careless. There are also very powerful fellows among the Greed," Virtuoso reminded them, "Most Greed covet superficial things. However, there are very few Greed that will steal the most essential things from their prey after understanding the nature of power. Some of these Greed are even as powerful as rank-6 existences.
"According to Galaxy's data records, among the seven conventional Disasters, Greed has the second-highest number of elevated lord-level Disasters, even surpassing Gluttony," Saber9 added from one side.
"What ranks first?" Lin Huang asked curiously.
"I'm guessing it should be a Proud Disaster," Lan Ling answered before Virtuoso and Saber9 could answer.
"That's right." Saber9 nodded.
"Those who can become Proud are people with extremely arrogant hearts. Many of these people were geniuses from various tribes before they transformed. Their foundations are much better than the other Disasters. After transforming into a Disaster, his talent and potential are also the most powerful, "Virtuoso added when they saw that Saber9 had no intention of explaining further.
The few of them chatted about various disasters along the way and soon encountered the first Greed.
This was also the first time Lin Huang had encountered a monster like the Greed.
The Greed in front of him was like a stitched monster, with a large number of limbs and eyeballs.
It looked terrifying, but in reality, it was the weakest type of Greed.
Saber9 did not even have the desire to attack when he saw the Patchwork Monster lunging at them.
Tu Tong, on the other hand, felt that his chance to shine had arrived. He hurriedly stepped forward and swung his heavy fists.
In less than ten seconds, the Greedy was hammered into a pile of minced meat.
What depressed Tu Tong was that this Greed was so weak that it didn't even drop any materials.
After dealing with the first Greed, everyone continued forward.
Unlike before when she tried to avoid the Calamities, this time, Lan Ling's route was completely aimed at the Greeds. Apart from the high-level Heavenly Gods, she did not spare any intermediate-level or intermediate-level Greeds as long as they were near their route. She led the rest in killing them.
As expected, apart from the first Greed that didn't drop any materials, the Greeds that followed after them all dropped materials after they were killed.
At first, Lin Huang was not very interested. Seeing that Tu Tong was doing the fighting for him, he did not bother to attack.
However, when they encountered intermediate-level Greeds later on, he could not help but attack. They obtained many materials along the way, and there were even a few rare materials.
Just as they were about to leave the Greeds' gathering place, they finally encountered a powerful Greed.
It was a skeleton monster draped in a black robe. Before Lin Huang and the rest could reach it, it sensed Lin Huang and the rest from afar.
It did not use Divine Telekinesis but pure spiritual perception.
It extended its arm into the void and retrieved a gigantic, jet-black scythe.
Subsequently, it waved the scythe and launched an attack from dozens of kilometers away.
A wave-like black sword gleam swelled in the wind, charging toward Lin Huang and the rest with devastating force. By the time it reached Lin Huang and the rest, it was already like a massive tsunami.
Even Lin Huang's pupils contracted involuntarily when he saw this attack.
This attack alone was at least at the standard of level-two Sword Dao heavenly rule.
Before Lin Huang could attack, Saber9's battle intent soared to its peak. His sword gleam shot out like golden lightning, colliding violently with the sword gleam.
Sword cultivators and sword cultivators were sworn enemies to begin with. Along the way, Saber9 had been looking for an opportunity to compete with Lin Huang, but Lin Huang had never accepted his challenge.
He had been suppressing his anger along the way. Now that he had suddenly discovered a powerful sword cultivator Disaster, naturally, he could not hold it in any longer.
He did not hold back at all when he attacked.
At first, the sword gleam was just a golden meteor, but it became increasingly blinding.
By the time it collided with the black wave, it was already like a sun.
When the two forces collided, it was like a huge wave in the sky colliding with the sun.
The two forces were locked in a stalemate for a long time. Finally, they exploded at almost the same time, collapsing …
A terrifying energy storm swept out in all directions.
Tu Tong and Lan Ling were a little unsteady on their feet. Virtuoso had to activate a god sequence relic's protective barrier to withstand the energy shockwave.
"So powerful!" Tu Tong's eyes lit up as he stared at the explosion.
They were both ninth-rank True Gods, but his ability was much weaker than Saber9's.
A hint of fear flashed in Lan Ling's eyes.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang and Virtuoso were unmoved. Both of them felt that it was normal for Saber9 to have such ability.
In reality, Lin Huang had wanted to fight this sword cultivator Greed at first. However, since Saber9 had beaten him to it, he could not be bothered to steal the kill.
However, he had seen many weak Greeds before. He was still very interested in this fellow whose ability was on par with Saber9's.
"Is this a Greed that has mastered the essence of power?" Lin Huang turned his head and asked Virtuoso, who was next to him.
"Yes." Virtuoso nodded. "It's only third-rank heavenly god-level, but its ability is close to seventh-rank. It must have stolen a few god sequence chains. "
"Greeds can steal god sequence chains from others directly?" Lin Huang was a little surprised. He himself had the ability to steal god sequence chains, but he had always thought that such an ability was very overpowered and should be very rare.
"Very few Greeds have such an ability," Virtuoso nodded, "First of all, it must realize that god sequence chains are the foundation of a Heavenly God's power. Second, it must find the right way to steal and extract god sequence chains from its prey's body. Third, it must find the right way to integrate the god sequence chains it has stolen.
"It's actually very difficult to achieve all three conditions at the same time. This is because the consciousness of Disasters themselves is chaotic, and their actions are also dominated by negative emotions, so they can't control themselves.
"Those that can develop a bit of self-consciousness in the midst of chaos and break away from being completely dominated by negative emotions are anomalies among Disasters."
