Chapter 1631 - The Voids

"Enjoy the big gift that I’ve prepared for the three of you!"

The three Virtual Eyes in the void opened slowly, while Zhan Zhuo’s figure became increasingly indistinct as well, vanishing a moment later.

"We’re in his God Territory." Buried Heaven frowned slightly.

After undergoing unification just a few days ago, seeing the Virtual Eyes opening once again gave him a vague sense of unease.

"He must have shrouded the entire ancient palace with his God Territory before we entered." Zhan Guang seemed to have noticed this as well. "However, I have no idea how he managed to do it and spontaneously open a passage to a virtual zone within his own God Territory."

Under normal circ_u_mstances, the consolidation of a Dao seal during a Heavenly God’s unification would attract raptors. This process would be initiated by the raptors opening a passage from the virtual zone to come into the material realm. However, Zhan Zhuo had currently used some unknown method to spontaneously open a passage to the virtual zone on his own.

As to what methods Zhan Zhuo had used, Lin Huang had a vague suspicion that it might be connected to the other party’s Goldfinger. That was because he could not figure what other methods Zhan Zhou could have used to do this.

Furthermore, ever since the beginning of the fight until now, Zhan Zhuo did not seem to have displayed his Goldfinger’s ability. If that were the case, it was entirely possible that communicating with the virtual realm was his Goldfinger’s ability.

The auras emanating from the Virtual Eyes were becoming increasingly powerful. Lin Huang could even clearly sense that the aura radiating from one of the Virtual Eyes was already a threat to him.

Zhan Guang and Buried Heaven looked grim as well. Both of them also clearly sensed that the monsters within the Virtual Eyes this time were much more powerful than those that Lin Huang had killed earlier. In particular, as the aura of the strongest monster began permeating through, both of them experienced the suffocating feeling that preceded death.

Although they had seen Lin Huang’s display of ability earlier, they did not think that he stood a chance of defeating this creature at all.

"I’m mainly responsible for both of you ending up in this situation. I shouldn’t have brought you in here," Zhan Guang apologized with a wry smile. He knew that if he had not led them in, Lin Huang and Buried Heaven would certainly not have entered the ancient palace recklessly, and they would not have fallen into Zhan Zhuo’s trap.

"Right now, we should be thinking more of how to deal with the impending threat." Buried Heaven glanced at Zhan Guang. Although he did not think they had very much chance of winning at all, he still had no intention of giving up just like that.

In the Virtual Eyes, the figures of three monsters began to coalesce.

"If I’m not wrong, these few monsters should have the same nature as the raptors; they’re attracted by our auras. Therefore, even if they’re more powerful than we are, they won’t be that much more powerful. This ought to be a rule limitation when arriving from the virtual realm," Lin Huang ventured a guess.

The reason for his speculation was that he sensed the strength of the three monsters’ auras, which was similar to their own auras.

However, Lin Huang had been hiding his aura all along, so Buried Heaven and Zhan Guang could not sense it. That was why they had erred in supposing that his ability was much weaker than the most powerful monster of the three. In reality, if Lin Huang were to fully unmask his aura, it would not be very much weaker than that of the monster.

"So the most powerful one was attracted by your aura?" Zhan Guang came to a sudden realization.

"I think so." Lin Huang nodded.

"Are you confident enough to fight the strongest monster?" Buried Heaven turned his head to ask Lin Huang.

"If I don’t use my trump card, maybe about fifty percent confident," Lin Huang admitted after thinking about it.

Buried Heaven really wanted to follow up by asking, "What if you used your trump card?" Seeing Lin Huang’s calm expression, however, he felt there was not much point to the question.

One was a giant ape monster, one was a black-armored cavalry soldier, and one looked almost entirely like a human.

The one whose aura was so powerful it gave Buried Heaven and Zhan Guang the shudders was the humanoid fellow.

His appearance was that of a handsome young man who looked to be in his early 20s. His hair was pulled up in a man bun, and he was clad in white.

His build was slim, and his fingers were long and slender.

If he were on Earth, this man would definitely be a top celebrity.

Be it appearance or charisma, he made a definite impression. He was certainly the sort of person one would be unable to forget after merely meeting them once.

The handsome man’s gaze immediately fixed on Lin Huang. He did not even give Buried Heaven and Zhan Guang so much as a glance.

The man smirked slightly after that. With one stride, he passed through the Virtual Eye and appeared not too far from Lin Huang.

"You’re human?" The man in white asked Lin Huang directly.

Lin Huang was stunned when he heard that. He had previously determined that the enemies the three of them were about to face ought to be entities similar to raptors. However, this fellow in front of him did not look like a raptor no matter what. Not only that, he was even engaging in small talk with Lin Huang.

"That’s right." However, Lin Huang quickly regained his composure and asked immediately, "You’re human too?"

Upon hearing that question, the expression in the man’s eyes altered slightly. "Human... I was considered one in the past."

"How about now?" Lin Huang followed up by asking.

"Now, I’m a Void," the man in white answered with a smile, as if he felt this was nothing to be ashamed of.

Li Huang became quite curious upon suddenly hearing the term ’Void’. "Are all living beings in the virtual realm called Voids?"

"Your understanding is not wrong." The man in white nodded.

"You said you were human before—so how did you become a Void?" Lin Huang asked curiously.

The smile on the man in white’s face became rather mysterious upon hearing that question. "Do you really want to know? I don’t mind letting you experience it."

"There’s no need for that," Lin Huang declined at once, "Can you explain what the virtual realm is like?"

"There’s no color in the virtual realm. Everything is black and white." The man in white did not elaborate further. "Black and white, and barren.

"It’s not like your material realm—rich and colorful and vibrant..." The man in white clearly displayed a look of yearning. "It’s so wonderful!"

"Do you want to stay in the material realm?" Lin Huang inquired.

"More precisely, I want to return to it." The man in white eyed Lin Huang and corrected him, "All Voids wish to return to the material realm!"

"Return..." This term caught Lin Huang’s attention. "Do you mean to say all of the Voids used to be living beings in the material realm?"

The man in white smiled when he heard Lin Huang’s question. "Some things are secrets that only Voids know. Are you sure you want to hear them?"

Lin Huang smiled awkwardly and without mirth when he heard the man’s reply.

During their conversation, the two monsters from the other two Virtual Eyes rapidly emerged as well.

Seeing that, Lin Huang finally set aside his curiosity and got down to the subject matter.

"How were you able to enter the material realm this time without someone consolidating their Dao seal during unification?"

"Someone opened the passage for us and offered the three of you to us as sacrifices for free."

Lin Huang could not help frowning slightly when he heard the man in white’s answer.

At that moment, the two other monsters passed through the Virtual Eyes almost simultaneously. Their eyes locked onto Buried Heaven and Zhan Guang, respectively.
