In less than a minute, Lin Huang and the other two had ransacked Nine Gloom's lair.
They had even transplanted over two hundred Nirvana Trees all over the ground into Lin Huang's God Territory.
After completing their search, the three of them did not linger and quickly left Nine Gloom's territory.
"The battle fluctuations have stopped …"
A Multi-eyed Bug Beast poked its head out of the ground and looked in the direction of Nine Gloom's territory.
Its territory was relatively close to Nine Gloom, so it sensed the battle fluctuations between Lin Huang and the other two and Nine Gloom almost immediately. It could even clearly sense the aftermath of the battle.
However, due to Nine Gloom's power, it dared not use its Divine Telekinesis to investigate.
It was only when the battle fluctuations had stopped for close to twenty minutes that it finally could not help but use its Divine Telekinesis.
The Multi-eyed Bug Beast did not blink for a long time as it looked at the devastated Nine Gloom's lair that had been completely reduced to ruins.
"W-what's going on?!"
A moment later, it scanned the entire area with its Divine Telekinesis several times. It was even more certain that Nine Gloom's aura had completely vanished.
"Someone killed Nine Gloom?!" Upon reaching this conclusion, a layer of sweat oozed out of its carapace.
As Nine Gloom's neighbor, it naturally knew how powerful he was. However, even someone as powerful as Nine Gloom had been killed. One could only imagine how powerful the person who had done this was.
It hesitated and struggled on the spot, scanning the area with its Divine Telekinesis many times to confirm that there were no other powerhouses' auras nearby. Only then did it decide to head to Nine Gloom's territory to investigate.
At the moment, apart from the Multi-eyed Bug Beast, several monsters around Nine Gloom's territory had also sensed the abnormality there. They decided to head to the scene to investigate.
As these powerhouses headed to Nine Gloom's territory one after another, Lin Huang and the other two had already teleported away.
In the inner world, in a ruined building over a million kilometers away from Nine Gloom's territory, Lin Huang and the other two stepped out of the Dimensional Whirlpool.
This was the return coordinates they had set long before the operation.
The area within thousands of kilometers was in ruins. There were no heavenly god-level monsters around.
As soon as they stepped out of the Dimensional Whirlpool, Virtuoso retrieved a crystal from their storage space and activated the formation patterns on it.
In the next instant, a nearly transparent isolation barrier quickly formed and enveloped the entire building.
Under the cover of this barrier, the auras of the three of them were completely isolated from the outside world and could not be sensed.
"There's no way we can leave the Abyss in our current state. If we encounter any resistance on the way back, we'll only become a burden to you." Virtuoso tossed the formation board crystal aside and turned to speak to Lin Huang, "So, for the next few days, the two of us can only stay here and recuperate. We'll leave together when our abilities are more or less recovered."
"How long will it take?" Lin Huang asked.
"I'm guessing it'll take at least ten days to half a month," Saber9 answered immediately, "There'll be backlash from forcefully using the trump card earlier. I need enough time to nurture my body and soul so that there won't be any internal injuries. "
Virtuoso nodded slightly as well. "We might have to trouble you to stand guard during this period."
"Sure!" Lin Huang agreed. "Let's divide the loot first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Huang took out all the loot he had looted earlier, including the over two hundred Nirvana Trees.
"Although the two of us contributed in this battle, your contribution was the greatest. Moreover, you killed Nine Gloom. " As Virtuoso spoke, they took out all the loot they had looted. "In terms of contribution points, the two of us actually don't have the right to take anything."
Saber9 said nothing from the side. He also took out all the loot and piled them on the ground.
"Both of you killed Nine Gloom once each and used up your trump cards." Lin Huang did not think he should take everything.
"How about this? Apart from the Nirvana Tree, all the other loot belongs to you." Virtuoso thought for a moment and proposed a distribution plan, "You can take half of the Nirvana Tree, and Saber9 and I will split the remaining half equally. However, we won't take the Nirvana Tree from you for free. We'll take it at the galaxy's market price. "
"I agree," Saber9 agreed as well.
"Don't go at the market price. You can just split the Nirvana Tree," Lin Huang said generously.
"Do you know how much the Nirvana Tree costs in the galaxy?" Virtuoso's tone was odd.
"What's the price?" Lin Huang was a little curious now that Virtuoso had mentioned it.
"The starting bid for a heavenly god-level Nirvana Tree at an auction house is a top-notch god sequence relic," Saber9 announced the price with a smile.
Lin Huang was stunned when he heard that, but he immediately corrected himself, "I think it's good to just take it at the market price …"
One must know that giving half to the two of them would be over a hundred Nirvana Trees, which was equivalent to over a hundred top-notch god sequence relics.
Although Lin Huang was not a stingy person, he would never do something as wasteful as giving away over a hundred top-notch god sequence relics for free.
"Do you want Divine Crystals or something else?" Virtuoso asked again.
"I don't want Divine Crystals. I'll exchange them with other resources. However, I haven't thought of what I want yet, "Lin Huang said after some thought.
"Then I'll owe you. Let me know when you've thought of something. I'll tell Saber9 when the time comes. "Virtuoso nodded.
"Sure!"
After the three of them had come to an agreement, they soon finished distributing the loot.
Virtuoso and Saber9 sat down cross-legged and began recuperating from their injuries.
Lin Huang watched for a while and thought about it for a moment. Then, he left a clone behind and left the building.
Virtuoso and Saber9 would need at least over ten days to recuperate this time. He could not possibly wait here forever.
Apart from helping Virtuoso obtain Phantom City's castellan's seal, he had another objective in coming to the Abyss this time — to elevate his combat strength.
In order to elevate his combat strength, he needed to plunder massive amounts of Rule Bending Powers.
Meanwhile, there were many heavenly god-level monsters in the Abyss that he could slaughter. It was the best place to plunder.
After leaving the building where Virtuoso and Saber9 were recuperating, Lin Huang extended his Divine Telekinesis and began searching for heavenly god-level monsters nearby. He then began a bloody massacre.
Within a short day, Lin Huang had slaughtered hundreds of middle- and high-level Heavenly Gods, successfully plundering up to a hundred million Rule Bending Powers and thousands of sequence powers, successfully elevating to ninth-rank true god-level.
After elevating to ninth-rank, Lin Huang could clearly sense that this was not the end of true god-level.
After elevating to ninth-rank, he was still able to plunder even more Rule Bending Powers from killing Heavenly Gods. His body's capacity for Rule Bending Powers had obviously not reached a saturation state yet.
Therefore, he chose to continue plundering over the next few days.
On one hand, he wanted to see exactly how much Rule Bending Powers his body could accommodate. On the other hand, he also wanted to know if there was a tenth-rank after ninth-rank.
In the next few days, Lin Huang encountered some minor problems.
This was because the powerhouses of the inner world soon noticed that a large number of heavenly god-level powerhouses had disappeared. Some simply hid in the surface world, while others gathered in groups.
However, this did not affect Lin Huang's hunting too much.
Soon, another four days passed. The number of Rule Bending Powers Lin Huang had plundered finally reached a new limit.
Almost six hundred million Rule Bending Powers allowed his combat strength to achieve another breakthrough.
He had broken through from ninth-rank to a level no one had ever reached before — tenth-rank true god-level!
After the breakthrough in his combat strength, Lin Huang discovered that his body's capacity for Rule Bending Powers had increased once again.
In the next ten days or so, Lin Huang continued to hunt and plunder. However, he discovered that the efficiency of his plundering was rapidly decreasing.
There were fewer and fewer Heavenly Gods in the inner world.
Since the Heavenly God powerhouses who had gathered to resist him had been continuously suppressed and massacred, almost all the remaining Heavenly Gods had fled the inner world.
As a result, in the next ten days or so, the total number of Rule Bending Powers he had mastered had only barely exceeded 1.3 billion. He was far from reaching his upper limit.
However, Saber9 and Virtuoso emerged from closed-door cultivation one after another, so Lin Huang had no choice but to stop hunting.
Although they had spent close to half a month, both of them had yet to recover to peak condition. At most, they could only be considered to have recovered around ninety percent.
However, both of them knew that it might take several times longer for them to completely recover to peak condition, so they decided not to delay any further.
As soon as Lin Huang's Primordium returned to the building, Virtuoso and Saber9 spoke almost simultaneously when they saw him.
"You've become more powerful again?!"
Although Lin Huang had concealed his combat strength, both of them were very familiar with Lin Huang's aura during this period of time they had spent together. Both of them had noticed the slight changes.
"You've broken through to heavenly god-level?!" Saber9 could not help asking.
"It doesn't seem like I've broken through to heavenly god-level …" Beside them, Virtuoso denied Saber9's speculation.
"I've just broken through to ninth-rank," Lin Huang explained with a smile.
He hid the second half of his sentence, "Then I broke through to tenth-rank."
Hearing that, both of them did not pursue the matter further.
After all, no matter what encounters Lin Huang had had, that was his privacy. Both of them did not pursue the matter further.
"How are the both of you doing?" In reality, Lin Huang could sense that both of them had yet to recover to peak condition. He also had a rough idea of why they were in such a hurry to come out of closed-door cultivation. He only asked to know if they were ready.
"Almost." Virtuoso nodded.
"Yes, we can't delay any longer." Saber9 nodded as well.
The great world powerhouses' expedition into the Abyss this time was only a small-scale operation. It could not possibly go on for too long. If they dragged things out for too long, when the great world's lord-level powerhouses retreated, it would be difficult for them to leave the Abyss. If they were targeted by half-step Lords or lord-level powerhouses, they would not be able to leave even if they wanted to.
"Let's go then!" Lin Huang said no more.
Virtuoso put the formation crystal away and summoned the Dimensional Whirlpool again. Without hesitation, the three of them stepped into it one after another.

"I'm sorry, there was a bug in the previous chapter where I fought Nine Gloom. Lin Huang was eighth-rank, and I remembered that he was ninth-rank. Therefore, he must have used two Provisional Combat Strength Upgrade Cards, not one. It's been modified. "
