The reason why Lin Huang suspected that Xia Bing had discovered his identity was because she said “his Kingdom is still here”.

Not just anyone could refine Kingdoms as they wished.

There was a limit to everyone’s Kingdoms’ territories. It depended on the foundation when one consolidated their Kingdom in the beginning.

Therefore, there was a limit to the Kingdom that one could refine and integrate.

Meanwhile, White Brow’s Kingdom was close to the strength limit of major dao-level powerhouses.

Most major dao-level powerhouses could not refine such a Kingdom at all.

To a powerhouse like Xia Bing, although she could refine it, she had to have refined many Kingdoms to have been able to cultivate to this level, so her Kingdom should have reached its limit and she could no longer integrate any more Kingdoms.

Therefore, to most people, White Brow’s Kingdom was useless.

Lin Huang on the other hand, was a unique case. His Kingdom’s foundation was more powerful than everyone else’s.

Refining other people’s Kingdoms was one of the main ways to elevate his strength.

However, only people who knew him or people he was close with knew that fact.

Xia Bing mentioning it made him suspect that she knew him. Not only that, he thought that she had guessed his real ability judging from his God Weapon flying daggers.

Xia Bing was stunned. A subtle panic flashed through her eyes, but her expression remained calm.

“How would I know? The mask you’re wearing has shielded your real aura entirely. Maybe… you should remove your mask and see if I know you?”

Lin Huang stared at Xia Bing for a moment and did not see anything unusual. He figured that he was overthinking things.

“It’s impossible for me to remove my mask. Stop thinking about such things.”

He intentionally adjusted his mask with his hand as he spoke. Only after that did he put away White Brow’s corpse into his storage space.

After dealing with the corpse, Lin Huang turned around to look at the altar that was covered in black fog not far away.

“Did you say that the altar couldn’t be destroyed?”

Xia Bing looked at the altar with a rather worried expression. She nodded. “I’ve tried it. I don’t think a major dao-level powerhouse can destroy it.”

“Let me try it,” Lin Huang attempted it directly as he spoke those words.

His Kingdom descended instantly, enveloping the altar.

The next second, endless electric arcs formed by the one billion God Weapon flying daggers enveloped the space where the altar was.

He borrowed all of the Odyl outside his Kingdom for this attack. He almost did not hold anything back.

After all, he had exposed his true ability to Xia Bing. There was no need for him to continue hiding things now.

Under the superimposition of the Critical Hit Hammer’s effect, the God Weapon flying daggers unleashed terrifying power.

Any one of them was sufficient to kill a peak major dao-level powerhouse.

However, such an attack seemed to have fallen into a swamp as soon as it entered the area covered by the black fog where the altar was.

As the flying daggers continued moving, inch by inch, the Odylic Force covering them would detach and dissolve rapidly.

The remaining attack power was next to nothing by the time the flying daggers hit the stone platform.

His attack did not cause any damage to the stone platform at all. Not even a stone chip was dislodged.

Lin Huang could not help but frown slightly when he saw the outcome of his attack.

While controlling the God Weapon flying daggers to continue attacking, he covered the entire altar with his Divine Telekinesis, trying to discover where the problem lay exactly.

Although the black fog was corroding the Divine Telekinesis that was being spread out quickly, indeed, Lin Huang soon discovered something unusual.

There were many runes “carved” onto the altar. Lin Huang had initially thought they were carvings.

Observing through his Divine Telekinesis, he discovered that the black runes were made from Abyssal energy in liquid form. Not only that, the Abyssal energy was flowing continuously.

It was just that the rate of flow was rather strange, giving people the illusion that it was completely still.

That was what caused Lin Huang to initially think that the runes were carved.

He also discovered that every time his God Weapon flying daggers hit the stone platform, the Abyssal energy within the runes would exude a faint black glow.

Lin Huang guessed that there was a high probability that those runes were the reason why the stone platform remained perfectly unscathed by his attack.

After seeing his futile attack, Xia Bing who was standing at the side could finally no longer take it.

“Forget it, stop wasting your strength. Let’s leave it if we can’t get rid of it, since this mystic territory won’t appear again within a short period of time. Our priority now should be to bring back the news about the Black Abyss.”

Lin Huang thought for a moment before speaking again, “Let me try again.”

He recalled his Kingdom and God Weapon flying daggers directly after saying that.

In a flash, he dove into the black fog and appeared on the altar directly.

Xia Bing wanted to stop him when she saw that, but it was too late.

“You…”

Although White Brow had died, the altar that he had activated remained active.

Xia Bing had only dared to attack it from a distance previously, as she was afraid that she would be tainted by the Abyssal energy surrounding the altar.

Never had she thought that Lin Huang would take the initiative to jump inside the black fog.

It was an action that was equivalent to asking for death had it been performed by an ordinary person.

White Brow was the best example of what would happen when one was contaminated by Abyssal energy.

However, Xia Bing soon calmed down. On one hand, she recalled that Lin Huang had a unique technique to cleanse the Abyssal energy. On the other hand, she saw that Lin Huang, who was standing on the altar, did not show any signs of being contaminated by the Abyssal energy at all.

In addition, he looked more like he was absorbing the Abyssal energy.

In reality, that was indeed what Lin Huang wanted to do.

He went straight to the altar and activated Eternity Fire to absorb the Abyssal energy frantically.

As Eternity Fire absorbed the Abyssal energy wildly, the black fog surrounding the altar soon became thin.

Very soon, it faded entirely.

Meanwhile, Eternity Fire started the second round of absorption.

The black runes on the altar began stretching out threads, that were like inverted tornadoes, into Lin Huang’s body.

It was not that Lin Huang was being attacked, but rather an effect caused by Eternity Fire’s absorption.

On the altar, as Eternity Fire absorbed the ink-black runes, they rapidly started fading at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, Xia Bing could finally see the possibility of this altar being destroyed.

Time was passing by inside this virtual realm space.

Over half an hour later, Eternity Fire had finally completely absorbed the last bit of liquid Abyssal energy.

However, the second it was absorbed, Lin Huang suddenly felt a shudder inside his body.

The next second, he noticed that his physical body, God’s soul, Odyl, Kingdom, Divine Power, Divine Telekinesis, and the Goldfingers in his body… Everything seemed to have been blocked.

He was only left with his consciousness, which was being pulled by an irresistible force. It was falling continuously…

Not knowing how long he had been falling, Lin Huang only felt that his surroundings were getting darker and darker. When it became so dark that even his consciousness could not sense anything around him, he faintly sensed that the pulling sensation had finally stopped.

He tried his best to sense everything around him, but there was only darkness.

However, he soon heard a faint, long breathing sound that was coming from extremely far away.

Not knowing why, Lin Huang felt an unknown fear sprout inside him when he heard that sound.

The feeling was indescribable. If he had to describe it, he could clearly sense the source of the breathing sound. It was a powerful entity that he did not know of. Even if He did nothing and merely existed, it was enough to make one tremble.

Lin Huang tried to maintain his very last strand of rationality to resist this great and unknown fear.

After an unknown period of time had passed, an intense dizziness suddenly hit him.

When he looked around again, he realized that he had returned to the altar…

His physical body, God’s soul, Odyl, Kingdom, Divine Power, Divine Telekinesis, and the Goldfingers in his body… Everything had become normal again..
