Chapter 1630 - The Raiders’ Creed

Buried Heaven and Zhan Guang frowned when they saw what was happening.

"Zhan Zhuo, are you out of your mind?!" Zhan Guang realized that Zhan Zhuo was going to kill him as well.

"I already said you shouldn’t have come." Zhan Zhuo turned his head to look at Zhan Guang, his eyes set with killing intent. "After you brought them here, you could have just given an obligatory show of courtesy and left after you knocked and the door didn’t open. You should have just let them figure something out. But no, you had to make threats, demanding I open the door so you could force me into confronting them."

"Senior Zhan Guang, you needn’t indulge in wishful thinking anymore. From the moment this fellow opened the palace door, he already knew that his deeds would be exposed. From that instant as well, he never intended to leave any of us alive." Lin Huang did not use voice transmission; his voice resounded through the great palace.

"You’re absolutely right," Zhan Zhuo admitted frankly after hearing what Lin Huang said. "I began setting up the palace ever since you teleported here. I opened the door because I had completed my preparations. What a pity all of you were so foolish as to step right into my carefully-prepared trap."

One by one, the relief-carved monsters on the bronze pillars came alive and materialized in the palace. There were a full twenty to thirty of them, and the intensity of each of their auras was obviously lord-level.

Buried Heaven and Zhan Guang’s expressions were rather odd. Both of them could clearly sense that the monsters’ auras were very similar to that of the unification raptors.

These dozen-over monsters soon split into three groups and charged at Lin Huang and the other two, respectively.

When Zhan Guang saw this, he did not hold back any longer.

He made a sweep with the Dao Weaponry spear in his hand, aiming at the monsters surrounding him.

On the other end, Buried Heaven was frowning hard. He wanted to go to Lin Huang’s rescue, but he was blocked by several monsters.

Although he had roughly guessed that Lin Huang had severed Zhan Zhuo’s hand using his own inherent abilities and not some unique technique, he did not dare guarantee that his speculations were correct.

If Lin Huang had indeed previously used the trump card that an Almighty had left for him, then what he faced now under the current circ.u.mstances was certain death.

However, the next instant, Buried Heaven saw dozens of blood-red gleams shooting out from Lin Huang’s sleeves. They shot through the air like dozens of lightning bolts.

A moment later, the monsters charging at Lin Huang all toppled to the ground and did not get up again.

Not only that, even the monsters that surrounded Buried Heaven and Zhan Guang all fell to the ground.

When Buried Heaven took a closer look, he realized that all the monsters’ heads had been instantly impaled, and their God’s souls removed.

"This is your carefully prepared setup?" Lin Huang took a step forward and asked Zhan Zhuo calmly.

The flying daggers he used earlier were his elevated Dao Weapon-rank telekinetic god weapon. Each of the daggers had up over ten thousand levels of compounded sequence power.

One could say that the power of each attack far surpassed Zhan Zhuo’s inherent full-force attack, what more the relief-carving combat spirits he had conjured up.

For a moment, it was difficult for Buried Heaven to regain his composure. Although he had guessed long ago that Lin Huang’s abilities might be astounding, Lin Huang’s attack earlier had startled him a little.

He could clearly sense that if he had been attacked by any of the flying daggers earlier, there was a very high chance that he would have been killed instantly.

Nearby, Zhan Guang was dumbfounded.

He had never expected that the heavenly god-level junior Buried Heaven had brought along possessed such terrifying ability—he was powerful enough to suppress Zhan Guang himself. Zhan Guang had no idea what to say at the moment.

Zhan Zhuo’s expression, on the other hand, was not very pleasant.

Initially, he had thought he would win through numbers by draining the three’s Divine Power. He had never expected that the first phase of his setup would be destroyed completely in just the first encounter.

Although he had intentionally given Lin Huang’s abilities as high an estimate as possible, Zhan Zhuo could not believe he had still underestimated him.

"It’s too early for you to celebrate yet."

Zhan Zhuo gave a cold snort. Lin Huang and the other two could clearly sense that more auras were rapidly awakening in the shadows all over the palace.

When they sensed the monsters’ auras again, Buried Heaven and Zhan Guang were finally able to confirm that these monsters were unification raptors.

They did not know what method Zhan Zhuo had used to summon so many unification raptors and seal them within the relief carvings of the ancient palace. What he had done subsequently was merely to unseal the carvings and release these raptors.

In reality, the unification raptors were not very powerful in terms of ability. The most powerful one had only mastered less than two thousand god sequence chains. Most of the others had only mastered a thousand or so god sequence chains, which was on par with a new Lord who had just succeeded in unification.

The trouble was that there were far too many raptors.

If Lin Huang had not intervened earlier, Buried Heaven and Zhan Guang would definitely have been s.u.c.k.e.d into a grueling battle that drained large quantities of their Divine Power.

A subsequent second round would certainly have exhausted them to death.

However, Lin Huang was now a variable within the ancient palace.

The second round of monsters rapidly emerged from the relief carvings on the walls of the ancient palace and surrounded Lin Huang and the other two.

Buried Heaven and Zhan Guang looked tense. There were over a hundred unification raptors surrounding them this time. Just the sheer numbers alone were enough to cause them psychological stress.

It was the mere work of a moment before the hundred or so unification raptors toppled to the ground. Their wounds were in the same place—the flying daggers had directly impaled their heads.

After that, the bodies gradually blurred, then vanished.

"If that’s all you have, stop wasting time continuing to fight. Surrender your partner willingly, and I’ll make sure to give you a quick death." Lin Huang withdrew the telekinetic flying daggers and turned his head to look at Zhan Zhuo.

From off to one side, Zhan Guang spoke as well, "Stop persisting in the error of your ways!"

"Do any of you know the nature of the raptors?" Zhan Zhuo suddenly asked with a smirk.

Lin Huang and the other two thought it ridiculous of Zhan Zhuo to ask such a thing out of nowhere.

"The world the raptors inhabit is called the virtual realm. What we know as raptors are actually the resident living beings of this virtual realm," Zhan Zhuo explained, heedless of anyone but himself.

"Do you know what the virtual realm is?" he asked again.

Lin Huang, Buried Heaven, and Zhan Guang had even more misgivings now. They could not figure out what Zhan Zhuo was trying to say at all.

"The virtual realm is the reflection of the material realm. The size of the material realm will be the size of the virtual realm. It’s not just the whole universe—it stretches even beyond that...

"All of you are just ants with no idea of how vast this world truly is. The boundless great world that you see is essentially a speck of dust.

"Death Sickle, the Combat God Temple, the God Territory... What of them, they’re just dust within the dust!

"To us Raiders, every living thing, every item, all the power, all the worlds—in fact, everything that there is—they’re targets for plundering as long as they bring us benefits!

"To me, the three of you will forever be mere targets to be plundered!

As soon as Zhan Zhuo finished speaking, three ’Virtual Eyes’ opened in the vault of the heavens. They were like living eyes staring at Lin Huang and the other two.
