Chapter 1697 - The Imperial Monsters’ Competition
Chapter 1697: The Imperial Monsters’ Competition
As the Great Heaven Palace accelerated time by 10,000 times, the imperial monsters soon broke out of their cocoons one by one.
Lin Huang teleported them over as the few Queen Mothers completed their elevations one after the other.
After questioning them, he found out that they had encountered the same thing as Shasha did.
The bug horde’s will left a blessing imprint on their bodies too.
Lin Huang did a detailed comparison by scanning them with Divine Telekinesis. The sigils of the imprints were completely different. Each imprint looked similar, but there were subtle differences.
The Queen Mothers had the same understanding as Shasha regarding the imprints. They thought it was a blessing imprint.
On the surface, Lin Huang could not see any problems in these Queen Mothers.
He checked them thoroughly with Divine Telekinesis again, but failed to find anything out of the ordinary.
Given that Xiao Hei did not sense any issues with the contracts, Lin Huang eventually decided to put the few Queen Mothers onto his watchlist for the time being.
He did not seal them into their card forms.
Instead, he got Xiao Hei to watch these Queen Mothers’ cards’ conditions at all times. As soon as it noticed anything off, it would seal them instantly.
To Lin Huang, no matter what the bug horde’s will did, as long as nothing happened to the contract, these Queen Mothers would still be under his control.
Moreover, Xiao Hei would seal them as soon as any situation occurred. It would only take a second.
After settling the unforeseen circumstance that arose from the elevations of the few Queen Mothers, Lin Huang questioned and investigated the few Bug Queens, excluding Xia Ke for safety purposes.
In the end, the investigation result was that, apart from Xia Ke, all of the other Bug Queens did not sense the prying of the bug horde’s will.
They did not have a blessing imprint left on their bodies, nor did they experience anything unusual.
Lin Huang guessed that it was perhaps because Xia Ke was the first to elevate, thus gaining the attention of the bug horde’s will. Clearly, a Pure Spirit rank-6 still did not deserve the bug horde’s will’s attention.
Not only that, he could tell that as beasts of the same rank, which was rank-6, a Queen Mother’s status was much higher than that of the Bug Queens.
Lin Huang thought about it carefully. He could understand why the Queen Mothers’ status was higher.
Queen Mothers had a certain chance of breeding offspring that were a rank higher than they were.
Theoretically, a rank-6 Queen Mother might give birth to a rank-7 offspring. Although the chances were extremely low, it was not impossible.
Moreover, even in the universe, a rank-7 being could definitely be considered as somewhat heaven-defying.
After handling the Bug Tribe’s emergency, all of the imperial monsters in the Great Heaven Palace had broken out of their cocoons and completed their advancement and elevation.
Lin Huang’s lord-level rank-6 imperial monster army had finally been established.
He began to check the Monster Cards one after the other.
“Monster Card: Bloody”
“Rarity: Pure Spirit”
“Monster Name: Wise Goddess”
“Type of Monster: Super Wisdom-type”
“Nickname: The Wise One of the Era”
“Combat Level: Lower-rank Lord (level-1 Dao seal)”
“Major: Intelligence”
“Major Skills: Perfect Parasitism, Total Control, Heart of Knowledge, Inheritance Duplication…”
“Minor Skills: Memory Administration, Immortal Tinder, Consciousness Transfer…”
“Summon Authority: Activated”
“Card Remarks: Please spare no efforts in cultivating this!”
…
“Monster Card: Tyrant”
“Rarity: Pure Spirit”
“Monster Name: Genie Combat Saint”
“Type of Monster: Celestial Giant Tribe”
“Nickname: Combat Saint”
“Combat Level: Lower-rank Lord (level-1 Dao seal)”
“Major: Combat God Dao, Martial Dao, Combat Cultivation”
“Major Skills: Combat Saint Technique, Galactic Power, Combat God Ax…”
“Minor Skills: Immortal Being of the Galaxy…”
“Summon Authority: Activated”
“Card Remarks: Please spare no efforts in cultivating this!”
…
Bloody, Tyrant, Thunder, Bloody Robe, Fiend, Imp, Witch, Death Knight, Fallen Knight, Warlord, Herculean King, Bing Wang, Eclipse Boa, Dark Crescent Snake, Killer, Evil Dominator, Abyssal Fountain (Symbiotic Creature of the Abyssal Fountain), Nine Gloom (Silver-armored Nine Gloom) as well as Shasha, Xia Ke and the bunch of Bug Tribe beasts…
Lin Huang looked at the cards one by one.
None of the Mythical-level rank-4 and Supreme God rank-5 Monster Cards from before were left behind. All of them had been elevated to Pure Spirit rank-6. Not only that, apart from Kylie, all of the remaining members had been elevated to lord-level.
Naturally, Lin Huang only got Xiao Hei to consolidate a Dao seal for them.
The imperial monsters would have to do the rest on their own.
After all, consolidating a Dao seal would drain a great deal of Xiao Hei’s Origin Energy.
Moreover, Lin Huang had helped his imperial monsters to cross the most difficult hurdle. He did not want his imperial monsters to slack off and get lazy.
The imperial monsters guessed what Lin Huang had in mind. After all, they would have to gather materials to elevate each time before. If not for the fact that they were slowing him down too much, he would not be in such a rush to skip the step of getting them to gather materials.
Lin Huang glanced through the many imperial monsters present. He was planning to give them some pressure.
“Since everyone is here today, I’d like to be frank about something.
“The resources that I provided to elevate everyone to lord-level is almost the limit I can bear at my current level.”
“You guys will have to depend on yourselves for the next combat strength elevation.”
“Also, the resources required for your elevation to the next rank, which is rank-7, will be tens or even hundreds of times more than the amount used this time. I’m not sure if I can gather enough resources to elevate all you guys by then when we get to that stage.”
“I’ll be honest now. If the resources are insufficient at that point, then I’ll most probably prioritize elevating those who have a higher level of combat strength.”
“Also, I’m aware that your combat strength has just received a boost at this moment, and that you’re quite proud of yourself, but I’ll let you in on a secret—Lord-level is far from the end.”
“Above the lord-level, there is the minor dao-level, major dao-level and levels that are even higher than those.”
“I’m not sure how far I can go, but I hope that you guys can work hard enough to keep up with me.”
…
They thought that they were invincible since they had just been elevated to Lords, but instantly felt pressure by Lin Huang’s words.
When they looked around again and realized they all had the same combat strength and that they were on the same starting line, the pressure they felt became even greater.
Although they knew what their master said was to add a sense of pressure on purpose, they understood that they definitely required even more resources to elevate to rank-7. If their master really had insufficient resources at that point, then he could only choose to elevate a portion of his imperial monsters.
If their performance was not as outstanding as the other imperial monsters, they might stay at rank-6 forever.
To the imperial monsters who had just felt how powerful Pure Spirit rank-6 was, that was definitely something that was hard to accept.
Moreover, there were more levels above lord-level. To most of the imperial monsters present, it was like a bombshell had been dropped on them. They had not been aware of this previously, and a sense of ambition was slowly growing within them…
Lin Huang was secretly relieved seeing the imperial monsters beginning to develop a competitive mentality.
‘As I thought, only competition can boost their will to fight!’
