Chapter 1737 - An External Strength Boost
Chapter 1737: An External Strength Boost
Three years was Old He’s estimated timeframe before the mystic territory would open. However, Lin Huang thought there was no need for him to return to the great world if he really were to head out into the universe.
After all, with his ability, it was rather meaningless to continue staying in the great world. He would seize the opportunity of the mystic territory’s opening to leave directly.
Since he was only left with three years, he would settle everything that he had yet to do in this world as soon as he could.
Therefore, he informed everyone about the decision to get everyone to finish what they had yet to finish.
Meanwhile, the first thing that Lin Huang thought about was to locate Xue Luo.
In reality, he had always remembered that.
Xue Luo was the first Protoss that Lin Huang met.
Thanks to the impression Xue Luo gave Lin Huang, he never held any disgust toward other Protoss later on.
Since coming to the great world, he had never forgotten about finding Xue Luo.
It was just that, in the beginning, he did not have the ability to protect himself. As such, he spent most of his time and effort on cultivation.
When he became slightly more capable later on, he asked around on the black market, and ran an investigation with Bloody’s assistance by using the Nephilic Judge’s force. However, it was all to no avail.
Therefore, he had been putting this matter aside.
When he founded the Sword Alliance’s headquarters in the God Territory and suggested that Yang Ling establish the Heavenly Net intelligence department, he actually had an important goal in mind. He wanted to borrow Heavenly Net’s intel network to look for Xue Luo as well as the clan she originated from.
The information channels were limited as the Heavenly Net had just been established. However, Lin Huang gave them the mission to look for Xue Luo, her clan as well as her ex-husband.
Apart from Xue Luo, the Heavenly Net was also investigating who the mastermind behind Myriad Tribe Palace was exactly.
One could say that the Heavenly Net would become the busiest department within the entire Sword Alliance during these three years.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang had to start figuring out how he would strengthen himself further.
Firstly, the number of Dao seals in his Kingdom was far from the limit he could possess. He could refine more Kingdoms to borrow even more Dao seals.
That would require a massive amount of resources. He could only trade all sorts of resources for more Kingdoms on Royal’s trading market.
Therefore, he could not rush into things using this method. He could only trade each time he had accumulated a certain amount of resources.
Secondly, in order to consolidate more Dao seals, he would need to unlock his Kingdom over and over again. That would require more Lords consolidating Dao seals in his Kingdom.
Although theoretically Lin Huang could elevate all of his imperial monsters to the limit of supreme-rank Lord at once, and they would possess 3,000 Dao seals directly, unlocking the major dao-level quota of having 100,000 Dao seals instantly, he did not plan to do so unless it was absolutely necessary.
He hoped that his imperial monsters could polish themselves as much as possible instead of obtaining elevation through an external force.
It would be more difficult to cultivate Lords in his Kingdom.
After all, it was nothing simple for one to achieve lord-level.
Even with sufficient talent, potential and resources, one would require sufficient time to grow.
After all, there were not many people in the entire universe who possessed cheat codes like he did.
The third way of becoming more powerful was to refine more Origin Energy fragments from the death spring.
In reality, that method would not strengthen Lin Huang directly. However, there were many memory inheritances within the Origin Energy fragments. If he obtained an inheritance of a powerhouse, it would increase his strength in the form of an ability boost.
However, most of the Origin Energy fragments that Lin Huang obtained came from Lords. The probability of receiving minor dao-level powerhouses’ inheritances was low, and even lower for major dao-level. Moreover, most of those dao-level fragments contained redundant information. There were few useful inheritances.
Nevertheless, that was out of his control. He could only accept them passively and try his luck.
The fourth way was to depend on external augmentations; objects such as spiritual treasures.
However, Lin Huang could not afford spiritual treasures. He did not even have enough resources to trade for Lords’ God Territories, let alone expensive spiritual treasures.
Fortunately, the few God Weapons he owned had evolved into spiritual treasures now.
He did not need to worry about dao-level equipment.
Apart from spiritual treasures, Lin Huang very soon thought about his Combat Souls.
His ten God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls had only been elevated to lower-rank Lords before, and their elevation had stopped since.
Their combat strength was clearly too low at this point.
If one optimized their God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls, in reality, they were comparable to clones.
However, as they would exhaust a great deal of resources, many would stop using God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls when they got to true god-level.
After all, if one had that many resources, they would rather use it on themselves.
Nevertheless, there were a small number of Lords and half-step Lords who would cultivate God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls.
Some Lords who reached a plateau thought that the possibility of breaking through further was low. There were also half-step Lords with no space to improve who thought that spending resources on themselves would be a waste. Therefore, they would start to cultivate their Combat Souls again.
God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls that were cultivated properly would be equivalent to having assistants with the same abilities.
When encountering enemies, it might become a trump card to turn the tables in battle.
Lin Huang thought it would be a little difficult to cultivate the God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls to his level, but that it was doable to cultivate them to a certain level to his advantage.
…
Among the four main elevation methods, Lin Huang thought the fourth one was the only one where the result would be instantly noticeable.
He did not hesitate and started work.
He returned to his Kingdom with a flash.
He summoned his ten God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls and the Goldfinger Eternity Fire.
The ten God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls’ God’s souls were connected to Lin Huang’s God’s souls directly. There was ample space of growth for their God’s souls.
Meanwhile, their physical strength was connected to their ranking. Their Pure Spirit rank-6 ranking allowed their physical bodies to bear the limit of supreme-lord level or even more powerful combat strength elevation.
After inserting a large amount of Origin Energy into Eternity Fire, it stretched ten golden tentacles out and connected to the ten God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls. It shared its energy with them to elevate their combat strength.
Lower-rank Lord!
Middle-rank Lord!
Upper-rank Lord!
Supreme-rank Lord!
The ten God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls’ aura only stabilized gradually when they had elevated to the limit of supreme-rank lord-level.
However, the sharing of energy from Eternity Fire had yet to stop. It was still ongoing.
At the moment, Lin Huang noticed that the ten God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls had Dao seals lighting up on them.
He was unusually familiar with those Dao seals.
Many of them belonged to him, and there were some that were not consolidated by him, but instead were the Dao seals in his Kingdom.
Lin Huang widened his eyes. The ten God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls duplicated the Dao seals in his body directly.
After thinking about it carefully, he understood what was happening.
By nature, the God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls were his God’s soul clones wearing the shell of God’s Figurines.
Therefore, theoretically, the Dao seals that his God’s soul could use would be applicable to the Combat Souls as well.
Lin Huang had not noticed that before. He had only noticed it now that all of the Dao seals and sequence power that the ten God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls used came from his Kingdom.
“It’ll save them a lot of time and effort since they won’t have to consolidate Dao seals all over again,” Lin Huang mumbled softly.
As approximately half a day had passed, there were 3,000 Dao seals that lit up on the ten God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls.
They were glowing brightly at the moment. Like ten big suns, they lit up the entire sky.
It was only after the golden glow faded that Lin Huang realized that the ten God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls had broken through to dao-level.
They had 3,001 Dao seals on them, and the Dao seals penetrated their bodies gradually.
“I’ll elevate them as much as they can take.” Lin Huang proceeded to pour more Origin Energy into Eternity Fire’s body.
He had consolidated more than a hundred Dao seals in the virtual realm, and he had encountered minor dao-level Raptors over a hundred times. He had killed thousands of minor dao-level Voids, obtaining enough Origin Energy to make thousands of dao-level God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls.
As Eternity Fire was receiving more Origin Energy, it boosted the energy transfer for the ten God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls.
Approximately three days later, the God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls had duplicated more than 10,000 Dao seals. It was only then that Eternity Fire.
“Has it reached the limit yet?” Lin Huang asked immediately.
“Not yet.” It was the Ninetails Lynx who answered that question, “However, we’re out of Dao seals that we can duplicate.”
“Apart from the Dao seals that we can’t use, we’ve duplicated all of the Dao seals, god sequence chains and god rules that we can use,” Nightmare Tapir who was standing at the side spoke.
Lin Huang had only noticed that almost all of the some 120,000 Dao seals in his body had been duplicated by his ten God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls. Each Combat Souls had duplicated tens of thousands of Dao seals. As they had different cultivation directions, the repetition rate of Dao seals they duplicated was less than one-tenth. Therefore, each of them only had some 10,000 Dao seals in their bodies.
“Alright, that’s all for this round of elevation.” Lin Huang nodded while feeling rather helpless. He did not expect that he had restricted his Combat Souls from strengthening further.
