MONSTER PARADISE

1621 - 1640

Buried Heaven’s figure hovered in front of the black hole, like a particle of dust facing a giant black whirlpool. He appeared infinitely small in this vast starry sky.

However, his aura kept skyrocketing.

Within the blink of an eye, Buried Heaven seemed to transform into a ferocious, unrivaled beast even more terrifying than the black hole.

God sequence chains of various colors extended out of his body like tentacles. They were no longer invisible like they usually were to ordinary people but had materialized into actual chains.

As the god sequence chains extended, Lin Huang was finally able to see the number of god sequence chains that Buried Heaven had mastered—twenty-seven in total.

Compared with Lin Huang, this was not considered very many. However, in the entire great world, this number was already the ultimate limit.

After all, Great Heaven, who had dominated an entire era in the great world, had only mastered forty-two god sequence chains.

Although Lin Huang could control over ten thousand god sequence chains, most of them were borrowed and were not ones he had comprehended himself. In all honesty, the number of god sequence chains that he had comprehended was far less than Buried Heaven.

Lin Huang did not find it that impressive, but the six Blood Sickle members were clearly envious.

The more god sequence chains a Heavenly God had mastered, the more powerful the Dao seal would be after unification.

From this standpoint, Buried Heaven’s foundation was enough to suppress most Heavenly Gods. They might elevate to become Lords, but Buried Heaven would undoubtedly be more powerful than the rest after elevation.

Furthermore, he would only become even more powerful after elevating to become a Lord.

The number of god sequence chains used in the first Dao seal would determine the maximum number of god sequence chains all the subsequent Dao seals could hold. In other words, two Lords who started with different numbers of god sequence chains would see an increasing disparity in their abilities as they consolidated more and more Dao seals.

Buried Heaven, for example, had consolidated a Dao seal that could hold 27 god sequence chains. If he consolidated two Dao seals, they would be able to contain 54 god sequence chains. However, if another Lord’s Dao seal could only hold 9 god sequence chains from the start, then they would only have 18 god sequence chains when they consolidated two Dao seals. Even if the two Lords had the same combat strength, the gap between their abilities would only grow wider as the number of consolidated Dao seals increased.

Although the number of god sequence chains that Buried Heaven had mastered did not unduly surprise Lin Huang, he was still fully focused on watching the entire unification process without so much as a blink.

In the void, the god sequence chains moved threateningly in a frenzy as if they were completely out of control.

Amidst his uncertainties, Lin Huang saw a scene that shocked him even more.

The god sequence chains detached from Buried Heaven’s body one by one and began coiling together in the air above his head. They seemed to be possessed of some form of sentience. The feeling they gave off was one of dissatisfaction each with the other and wanting to fight until a winner finally emerged.

“Is this normal?” Lin Huang could not help asking the Blood Sickle members.

“This is the first stage of unification—psychic communication,” Gao Ming was the first to explain, “During this stage, the god sequence chains in the body gain a measure of intelligence. Therefore, they’ll vie with each other, with none willing to surrender.”
