Within the gigantic round shield constructed from vines, Nine Gloom, clad in silver armor, was unscathed. However, his mood was currently clouded with gloom.
Indeed, the wave of attacks from Lin Huang and the other two had not harmed him at all. However, he had used up more Divine Power in this round of attacks than he had in the first round.
There was no other reason for this. Lin Huang and Saber9 had used techniques to absorb and deplete Nine Gloom's Divine Power in this round of attacks. This had greatly depleted Nine Gloom's Divine Power.
Although he had successfully defended himself against Virtuoso's shockwave attack, Nine Gloom's Divine Power had been depleted as a whole. He had depleted almost one-third of his total Divine Power.
In addition to the depletion from the first round of attacks, his Divine Power had been depleted by more than half after just two rounds of attacks.
This was not good news for Nine Gloom.
No matter how powerful he was, without Divine Power, he could not make bricks without straw.
Realizing that he was being targeted by Lin Huang and the other two, Nine Gloom quickly thought of a countermeasure.
As for Lin Huang and the other two, although they knew that this round of attacks was not enough to harm Nine Gloom, they were still satisfied.
They did not know the percentage of Nine Gloom's Divine Power depleted, but they had an idea of how much Divine Power they had absorbed and depleted in this round of attacks earlier.
If one round was not enough to deplete his opponent's Divine Power, they would just have to go for a few more rounds. Eventually, his Divine Power would be depleted.
Clearly, Nine Gloom had realized this as well. Just two rounds of attacks had depleted more than half of the Divine Power in his body. If he allowed Lin Huang and the other two to continue attacking, he would be able to hold on for two more rounds at most before his Divine Power would be completely depleted.
As soon as he thought of this, the instant the shockwave dissipated, he attacked first.
The gigantic spherical shield suddenly split and multiplied, extending countless vines toward Lin Huang and the other two, blotting out the sky.
Lin Huang and the other two dodged hurriedly, slashing the vines one after another as they dodged the onslaught of the vines.
However, the waves of vines were endless. After each vine was severed, it would regenerate in the blink of an eye and continue to attack the three of them.
Due to the sheer number of vines, Lin Huang and the other two could only struggle to deal with them. They could only defend passively, unable to initiate an attack.
Nine Gloom finally gained the upper hand in this round of attacks.
However, Lin Huang and the other two did not panic at all. They even secretly communicated with each other through voice transmissions.
"Is this guy crazy? Why is he suddenly using his ultimate skill?! "Saber9 could not help complaining.
"This means that our two rounds of attacks earlier drained his Divine Power tremendously. He doesn't dare to drag things out any longer, so he's eager to take control of the battle and end it as soon as possible." Virtuoso saw through Nine Gloom's train of thought right away.
"You're right, but not completely right." Lin Huang raised his head and looked at the sky above him.
Other than the vines that attacked the three of them, more vines had already crossed over their heads and extended further away.
"The area-of-effect attack is just a cover. His real goal is to move the battlefield!" As soon as Lin Huang finished speaking, the vines that filled the sky had already completed their encirclement, completely covering the entire sky.
In the next instant, Lin Huang's group of three appeared in a world filled with vines.
Countless vines blotted out the sky and attacked the three of them.
"We're in trouble now. He's pulled us into his God Territory …" Saber9's expression turned grim.
Although Lin Huang and the other two had powerful abilities, their combat strength was only at true god-level, after all. The strength of their God Territory was far weaker than Nine Gloom's, so there was no way they could defend themselves against Nine Gloom's God Territory.
In his God Territory, however, Nine Gloom was practically the master of this world. His Divine Power was almost inexhaustible.
Therefore, the little plan that Lin Huang and the other two had come up with earlier was completely useless here.
If they continued to expend Nine Gloom's Divine Power, the only one who would die would be themselves.
"What do we do now?!" Saber9 looked at Lin Huang and Virtuoso.
Virtuoso said nothing. They seemed to be thinking of countermeasures.
Lin Huang, on the other hand, spoke right away, "There are only two ways to leave the God Territory. One is to destroy the God Territory by force, while the other is to kill the God Territory's master.
"With the strength of our attacks, naturally, we can't do the former, so we can only choose the latter."
Destroying the God Territory by force was only possible if the strength of one's attack exceeded the limits of what the God Territory could withstand. With Nine Gloom's abilities, perhaps only a half-step lord-level powerhouse would be able to break his God Territory by force.
Clearly, Lin Huang and the other two did not have that kind of ability. Therefore, breaking through by force would not work.
However, when he heard Lin Huang say that there was only the second option, Saber9 could not help pursing his lips, secretly criticizing Lin Huang in his heart.
If they could not destroy the God Territory by force, could they do it by killing Nine Gloom in his God Territory?!
Judging from Lin Huang's tone, it seemed like killing Nine Gloom would be a piece of cake.
"Lin Huang's right. If this had happened before Nine Gloom unleashed his God Territory, we would still have had a choice. We could've given up and fled if we couldn't win. However, we don't have a choice now. We can only leave the God Territory by killing him, "Virtuoso finally spoke up after a moment of silence.
Saber9 looked helpless when he heard that. "The problem is, how can we kill him?! When we were outside, we could've slowly whittled away at his Divine Power. However, now that we're in his God Territory, the Divine Power in his body is endless. If we continue to wear him out like we did earlier, we'll definitely be the ones to die in the end. "
After hearing that, Virtuoso glanced at Saber9 and said calmly, "That's why we have to use our trump cards. Otherwise, the three of us will really die here."
When Saber9 heard that, he fell completely silent.
Virtuoso did not rush him. They continued to dodge Nine Gloom's vine attacks as they waited patiently for Saber9's reply.
They were waiting for Saber9 because they were worried that their trump card might not be able to kill Nine Gloom in one blow. If they had Saber9 with them, their chances would be much higher. Therefore, before Nine Gloom agreed, they dared not attack recklessly.
Saber9 fell silent for a good while before finally making up his mind.
"Alright, I'll go first! If I can't kill him, you can finish him off. "
He had made up his mind because he knew that things would only get worse if they continued to wear him out. By then, he might not even have enough Divine Power to activate his trump card.
Naturally, Nine Gloom knew that the three of them were discussing countermeasures. However, he could not hear the specifics, nor did he care what they were talking about.
As far as he was concerned, the three of them were already trapped; there was no way they could escape.
He could not even be bothered to waste his energy attacking the three of them. After all, their abilities were not weak; attacking him head-on might not give him much of an advantage. Therefore, he chose the same strategy as the three of them earlier — using vine attacks to whittle away at their Divine Power. Once their Divine Power was depleted, the three of them would naturally become fish on a chopping board, at his mercy.
Unfortunately, he did not know about Virtuoso and Saber9's backgrounds.
If he had known, he would definitely have killed the three of them as soon as possible to prevent any unforeseen events.
However, it was precisely this small gap in information that gave Lin Huang and the other two an opportunity.
