"That's impossible!"
A furious roar came from the countless regenerating vines. In the blink of an eye, they consolidated into silver-armored Nine Gloom again. His eyes under his helmet were crimson to the extreme.
"The giant shield I just formed is layered with eighteen levels of sequence power. With the number of sequences you've mastered, there's no way you can break it!"
The reason why Nine Gloom said that was that he could not figure out how Lin Huang was able to unleash such a powerful attack.
Although he had no way of finding out the true combat strength of Lin Huang and the other two, he had a rough idea of the number of sequence chains they had mastered from the previous battle.
He also knew that Saber9 and Virtuoso had only been able to kill him earlier because they had used special trump cards. It was not their own strength.
However, Lin Huang had only elevated his combat strength and broken through Nine Gloom's defenses with his own abilities.
Nine Gloom thought this was unbelievable.
Logically speaking, such a temporary elevation in combat strength could only increase the strength and quantity of Divine Power. It was impossible for one to master more sequence chains.
If a person had only mastered one sequence chain, even if he could temporarily elevate his combat strength from first-rank heavenly god-level to ninth-rank, he would still only have one sequence chain. It was impossible for him to master more sequence chains.
However, judging from Lin Huang's two attacks, it seemed that he had not only elevated his combat strength, but he had also increased the number of sequence chains he had mastered.
"Logically speaking, you're right," Lin Huang responded with a smile, "However, that's only within the scope of your knowledge."
Lin Huang's mastery of sequence chains did not depend on how many sequence chains he had mastered. Instead, it depended on how many sequence chains his physical body and soul strength could bear. This was because he could borrow the sequence chains that all the Sword Servants had mastered.
When he was still a ninth-rank true god-level, his limit was thirteen sequence chains (twelve sequence chains plus Sword Dao heavenly rule). Now that he had elevated to first-rank heavenly god-level, this number had tripled to thirty-nine.
In terms of quantity alone, that was more than twice what Nine Gloom had mastered.
Such a layering of sequence power was not a simple matter of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Each additional level of sequence power that he mastered would bring him an advantage that was difficult to make up for in other aspects.
"The number of god sequence chains I control is much more than you expected!"
Lin Huang smiled as he glanced at Nine Nether, who was furiously stacking her shields.
He knew that his opponent was stalling for time so that he could stack more shields. Furthermore, the shape of the shields this time was completely different from the previous round. They were embedded into the ground, as if it was a way to divert the force.
Lin Huang did not mind at all. He patiently waited for the other party to stack more than a hundred layers before he smiled and asked, "Have you stacked enough for this round?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Huang thrust his saber again.
This strike was still a stab, but it was completely different from the previous one.
The saber radiance shot out slowly and penetrated the layers of shields as if it was cutting through tofu.
It didn't cause a loud noise, only leaving a wound not even as thick as a thumb on the layers of shields.
Even after the saber beam pierced through the hundreds of layers of shields and pierced through Nine Nether's glabella, the shields did not collapse. Instead, they continued to maintain their original shape.
A moment later, Nine Nether's aura was completely obliterated. Without the supply of Divine Power, the layers of shields gradually collapsed on their own.
Saber9 could not help sighing when he saw this. "That attack of his is almost at the threshold of Heavenly Dao."
There were three levels of Sword Dao heavenly rule — Heavenly Sword, Heavenly Heart, and Heavenly Dao.
Even a heavenly god-level sword cultivator would be at the pinnacle among Heavenly Gods once they achieved Heavenly Dao. Just one Sword Dao alone had an offensive effect comparable to over ten layers of sequence power stacked together.
This was the strength of sword cultivators and sword cultivators.
Virtuoso, on the other hand, saw something different. "The way he combines and utilizes the various sequence powers doesn't look like he's just mastered them.
"I even have a faint feeling that what he's displaying now might be far from the upper limit of his true abilities."
Saber9's pupils contracted slightly when he heard this, and he gave Virtuoso a deep look. He then turned his gaze back to Lin Huang. No one knew what he was thinking.
After killing Nine Nether three times in a row, Lin Huang did not panic at all when he saw that Nine Nether was still resurrecting. He patiently waited for Nine Nether to complete his resurrection.
He did not seem to care at all what other tricks Nine Nether had up his sleeve. After all, to him, he could suppress them with brute force.
"I don't think you can maintain this state for too long, right?" Before Nine Nether's body had even consolidated, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Lin Huang again. "It doesn't matter how many times you kill me — I can always resurrect. As long as I hold on until you're out of this state, all three of you will become part of my collection sooner or later! "
"Is that so?" There was a hint of mockery in Lin Huang's tone. "Even if your substitution technique really connects all the Nirvana Trees here, it'll only be enough for you to die three hundred times over.
"Even if I take into account the time I spend waiting for you to resurrect and setting up defensive measures, I'll only need three to five seconds at most to kill you each time. Even if I calculate it at five seconds per kill, I'll only need half an hour at most to kill you three hundred times.
"And I can maintain this state for more than half an hour …"
When he had killed Nine Nether for the first time earlier, Xiao Hei's push notification had popped up that he had obtained a Nirvana Tree fragment. He was only mildly surprised for a moment before he immediately understood that Nine Nether was using a substitution technique. Furthermore, the substitution technique was connected to the Nirvana Tree.
Previously, he had not bothered to expose Nine Nether because it did not make much sense. When Nine Nether had pretended to be immortal in front of him, he could not take it anymore and told him the truth that he had long since known.
As soon as he said that, Nine Nether fell dead silent.
He had not expected Lin Huang to see through his technique.
Virtuoso and Saber9, who were watching from the sidelines, finally came to a realization.
In reality, Virtuoso had already guessed this when they saw that their trump card had not been able to kill Nine Nether. However, substitution techniques were strange and rare. Moreover, almost every substitution technique had a different effect, so they had not been too sure.
Only when Lin Huang mentioned it did they confirm their earlier guess.
As for Saber9, he really had no idea what technique Nine Nether was using, nor had he thought of using a substitution technique. However, even though he had never come into contact with substitution abilities, he had heard of them. As soon as he heard what Lin Huang had said, he understood immediately.
Seeing that his biggest secret had been exposed, Nine Nether lost all confidence.
Initially, he had wanted to yell at the three of them and negotiate for them to leave.
However, he had not expected Lin Huang to expose him right away.
A technique like a substitution technique had extremely high limitations.
In reality, he had not connected to over three hundred Nirvana Trees at all. Given the strength of his spirit, he had only connected to eleven trees before reaching his limit. In other words, including his natural life, he only had twelve lives.
Now, he had been killed five times in a row by the three of them.
With the speed at which Lin Huang had chopped vegetables earlier, Nine Nether felt that he would really die at Lin Huang's hands in half a minute at most.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind. After weighing the pros and cons, Nine Nether finally chose to admit defeat.
"How about this? We'll each take a step back. If you want the castellan's seal, I'll give it to you and let you out of the God Territory. However, you can't attack me again! After you obtain the complete castellan's seal, you can't erase my existence either. "
This was already the greatest compromise he could make.
Even Virtuoso and Saber9 were tempted when they heard this.
However, Lin Huang rejected this suggestion right away. He swung his battle sword again without hesitation.
"We can get the castellan's seal after we kill you!"
