Chapter 1707 - Soaring Combat Strength

Lin Huang continued his closed-door cultivation session in the virtual realm cabin.

Noticing that the number of Dao seals he could borrow from his Kingdom had reached its limit, he decisively stopped refining more God Territories.

Instead, he began developing the god sequence chains that were already in his Kingdom.

Lin Huang could borrow all of the god sequence chains in the Kingdom, and had not only used them before, but also studied them before.

Therefore, developing them again and transforming them into his own god sequence chains was easier than consolidating god sequence chains from scratch.

Days passed by rapidly in the virtual realm cabin.

The number of god sequence chains in Lin Huang's body was skyrocketing.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but he had finally consolidated one million god sequence chains.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Huang resolutely chose to perform unification again.

He had been attacked by a powerhouse above lord-level the last time he performed unification, and almost failed to fight back.

If not for the lady who attacked in the end, his virtual body would definitely have been destroyed.

This time, he was not leaving it to chance; on whether such an entity would appear again, nor whether the lady who saved him before would appear again.

He was fully prepared.

He spread out his Kingdom in its entirety. The God Weapon flying daggers in his sleeves were ready to attack.

This time, he was going to fight it head-on.

It was not the case of him being arrogant due to his increase in combat strength, but rather he wanted to know how large of a gap exactly there was between his ability and a dao-level powerhouse.

On the other hand, he was not worried about being killed.

If he died in the virtual realm, all he would lose was a virtual body.

Even if a dao-level powerhouse's technique could affect the material realm, he had other techniques that would allow him to revive.

His comprehensive preparations allowed him a measure of confidence and safety in attempting this once again.

The path of cultivation, after all, was something in defiance of nature.

If he became terrified of powerful enemies due to one failure, he would truly be in a regretful state in future encounters.

Lin Huang took action instantly after making up his mind.

He performed unification again.

It was his fourth Dao Seal. The process of unification was pretty similar to the process before.

The first stage of unification—psychic communication.

In this stage, the god sequence chains would start to possess a fragment of intelligence. They would enter a state of chaos and fight for dominance.

In Lin Huang's body, the one million god sequence chains transformed into various forms and entered a chaotic state.

This process was very dangerous for a person who was performing unification for the first time. However, it was nothing to veterans.

Lin Huang had no expression on his face. He merely used his God's soul to release some pressure, and the god sequence chains immediately became obedient.

The entire process ended in less than a second.

The second stage of unification—unification.

During this stage, the god sequence chains would change their forms and transform into Dao tattoos to consolidate the Dao seal.

This stage was the stage with the highest failure rate for ninth-rank heavenly god-level powerhouses who were performing unification for the first time.

The reason was that the process of Dao tattoos consolidating the Dao seal was similar to nuclear fusion. It would release terrifying amounts of energy.

The release of such energy would impact the physical body, God's soul and God Territory of the person performing unification.

If any of the three failed to overcome the impact, the unification would abort itself.

However, to a powerhouse whose physical body and God's soul had reached the limits of ultimate-rank lord-level, the energy impact of a lower-rank lord-level unification could not break through his defense at all.

His Kingdom was even more sturdy. It could not be moved by the mere unification of a Dao seal.

Throughout the unification process this time around, Lin Huang had no expression on his face from the outset. He watched the entire process play out in silence.

The energy impact of the unification did not harm his Kingdom at all, nor did it affect his physical body and God's soul.

He was like a spectator, watching a grand display of fireworks in his Kingdom.

He watched the fourth Dao seal begin to consolidate quickly.

Lin Huang knew that the third stage was coming.

Dao plundering!

The moment the Dao seal consolidated successfully, the aura that it generated would attract the attention of Raptors, luring them from the virtual realm.

Lin Huang was currently in the virtual realm. Naturally, countless Voids would sense the Dao seal's aura.

He lifted his spirit. It was not that he was afraid of the Voids that would come in search of his Dao seal's aura. Instead, he was taking precautions against the dao-level powerhouse that had attacked him previously.

He was ready to go all out at any time. He did not plan to hold back at all.

In the virtual realm, Lin Huang's Kingdom descended. It was unknown how many star zones nearby were enveloped within. 

The sparkling golden Dao seal that had just been consolidated was like a big, golden sun above the Kingdom. It exuded an endless golden glow and its overwhelming aura spread toward all directions like a wave.

To the Voids' senses, the aura from the Dao seal was similar to the aroma of delicious food that made one drool.

They were like sharks that had smelled blood. They began to rush toward Lin Huang's direction in a frenzy.

Lin Huang was expressionless. He clearly sensed the Voids that were intruding into his Kingdom.

From his sleeves, blood-colored electric arcs shot forth consecutively, reaping lives mercilessly. 

This time, he had killed over 50 Voids.

The most powerful one even had the combat strength of upper-rank lord-level.

Lin Huang could not help but raise his brows as he watched the Dao seal's glow in the sky dimming slowly.

The dao-level attacker from the last time did not come.

It was unknown whether it was afraid of that lady who attacked previously or perhaps because of some other reason.

Up till the Dao seal's aura had weakened completely and hidden itself deep in the depths of his Kingdom, Lin Huang did not see the attacker from before.

While he did feel a sense of relief, he also felt that it was quite a pity.

He put his Kingdom away and turned around. He entered the virtual realm beneath again and started a new round of developing his god sequence chains...

Years passed by in the virtual realm.

Since the fourth Dao seal had been successfully consolidated, Lin Huang consolidated more and more over and over again.

The dao-level attacker never showed up again.

Instead, he would reap the lives of many Voids each time he consolidated Dao seals.

Just like that, he consolidated ten Dao seals smoothly.

The strength of the Dao seals had arrived at peak lower-rank lord-level.

However, Lin Huang did not stop just yet. Instead, he chose to consolidate more Dao seals.

When the 11th Dao seal was formed, the difficulty of unification had clearly increased significantly.

Nevertheless, this did not cause any hindrances to Lin Huang.

Even though the number of Voids the Dao seal's aura attracted was multiplied, it merely increased the number of lives Lin Huang would reap.

Lin Huang had yet to halt the development of god sequence chains.

The number of Dao seals in his body skyrocketed.

11…

12…

…

20…

30…

…

90…

A hundred!

When he consolidated the 101th Dao seal, the difficulty of unification increased again.

However, it still did not cause any problems to Lin Huang.

Although he knew that he had been in closed-door cultivation for an extremely long time, he did not plan to leave just yet. He chose to continue developing even more Dao seals.

The number of Dao seals in his body continued to grow significantly.

101…

102…

…

110…

120…

…

200…

300…

…

1,000…

2,000…

3,000!

Lin Huang reached the limit of 3,000 Dao seals, similar to the amount an ultimate-rank Lord would have, but the dao-level attacker still had not shown itself.

However, he finally felt that he had hit a plateau.

He could not develop more god sequence chains…

The god sequence chains that had looked extremely simple to him before felt like they had suddenly been encrypted.

Lin Huang tried over ten times, but failed each time.

"Perhaps this is the limit before stepping into dao-level…" 

Feeling helpless, Lin Huang could only halt things here and shook his head while forcing a smile. "The duration of this closed-door cultivation session has gone on long enough.. It's time to leave."
