The individual who had attacked so suddenly was clearly a Lord.
The six Blood Sickle members were not able to block the assault even though they had joined forces.
If the massive palm struck Buried Heaven’s God Territory, it might wreck the God Territory altogether.
Once Buried Heaven’s God Territory was damaged, the unification raptor would certainly escape.
Since the God Territory was Buried Heaven’s turf, for the raptor, the only fair place to do battle was outside the God Territory.
As soon as the raptor escaped out of the God Territory, Buried Heaven would lose his home ground advantage.
Although his Dao seal had already consolidated, and he could invoke the boost from his god sequence chains outside his God Territory, the Divine Power within his body would not be inexhaustible like it was within his God Territory.
In his God Territory, at least he could exhaust the raptor to death. However, outside his God Territory, the raptor would most likely wear him down instead.
Furthermore, once the raptor escaped, Buried Heaven would have no choice but to follow it out. Once he did so, he would become the target of the Lord’s attack.
That was why Lin Huang and the rest wanted to stop that massive palm.
Although the onslaught of the six Blood Sickle members was halted, Lin Huang made his move in the nick of time, stopping the enemy’s attack.
In truth, he was rather unwilling to display his real ability in front of the six Blood Sickles. After all, he was not familiar with any of them. He knew nothing of their characters, nor did he know if there were any Raider spies among the six.
However, he had no choice. If he did not show his hand, there was a high possibility that Buried Heaven’s unification this time would fail.
Within the Dimensional Whirlpool inside the black hole, the Lord powerhouse who had attempted the stealth attack withdrew its arm, turned around and made good their escape after the attack failed. They did not even retrieve their severed hand.
From that one clash alone, they knew that they were not Lin Huang’s match. In fact, they feared that Lin Huang would kill them on the spot.
“It’s certainly fleeing very quickly.” Naturally, Lin Huang immediately sensed the other party escaping far away.
He did not pursue it either. For one, he was worried that the opponent might be creating a diversion—once he left in pursuit, another Lord would attack Buried Heaven. For another, he felt that he might not be able to catch up. The black hole inherently possessed a spatial distortion effect. Even if he followed the other via teleportation, the tiniest variance would result in the dimensional coordinates being completely different.
Lin Huang knew that it was only a matter of time before his true ability was revealed.
He could hide it for a time, but he could not hide it forever.
Compared to before, now, he no longer shied away from his identity being exposed. After all, he already possessed the ability to fight on equal footing with Lords.
Watching the severed hand hovering in the air, the six Blood Sickle members only snapped back to their senses a moment later. They all turned to look at Lin Huang.
They knew Lin Huang was a genius with astounding ability. After all, he had previously assassinated the twins, Shen Yu and Shen Jue.
However, in their eyes, this young fellow named Xiu Mu could only be regarded as a mere junior. At most, he was just a slightly bigger fish in the pond.
After all, no matter how powerful a Heavenly God was, their Godly Right would only be effective in their own God Territory. Outside the God Territory, it would be useless.
However, at that very moment, the six of them finally realized just how much of a mistake they had made.
Lin Huang had suppressed a bona fide Lord on his own!
If not for the fact that their attacks had been easily countered, the six might even have had doubts about the ability of the stealth attacker. However, they had attacked full force earlier, yet they had failed to stop their opponent by even a fraction.
Lin Huang, however, had not only stopped the stealth attack, but he had even severed the other’s hand.
The disparity in ability was extremely obvious.
“Your cultivation base is at lord-level?!” Gao Ming could not help but ask.
Actually, this was the speculation of the remaining five Blood Sickles as well.
After all, the preconception they had was that only Lords could fight Lords.
“Not yet.” Lin Huang shook his head. He did not mention exactly which rank he was at; he did not think this was necessary.
“How is that possible?!” Boundless Blood was in slight disbelief. “A Heavenly God’s Godly Right can only be used inside their God Territory. The sequence powers they’ve mastered in the outside world won’t gain a boost. Your attack earlier likely had over ten thousand levels of compounded sequence power. How is it possible that it wasn’t a boost?!”
“Why do I need that? Can’t I have mastered up over ten thousand types of sequence power?” Lin Huang retorted at once.
The six Blood Sickle members present thought Lin Huang was spouting nonsense.
One had to be aware that individuals with a normal heavenly god-level aptitude would need tens of thousands of years to master one god sequence chain. Even if it were a one-in-a-million talented genius, they would need hundreds of years at least to master a single god sequence chain. They would need tens of thousands of years to accrue mastery for over ten thousand god sequence chains.
Moreover, Lin Huang was a newly-emerged genius. According to Death Sickle’s investigation, he might not be even a hundred years old. Naturally, he could not possibly have mastered ten thousand god sequence chains.
It was even more unlikely that he had already elevated to Lord!
The six Blood Sickle members rapidly calmed down when they remembered Lin Huang’s identity information.
All six had practically the same speculation—Lin Huang must have used some special technique, such as borrowing an Almighty’s power. That was how he had managed to stop the Lord’s massive palm.
Indeed, logically speaking, that was the most reasonable explanation.
In addition, Lin Huang had also stopped a half-step Lord’s attack previously during Shen Yu and Shen Jue’s assassination, and the technique he had used then was very obviously not inherently his own.
This made the few half-step Lords even more certain of this point—Lin Huang had a powerful survival trump card left to him by an Almighty.
Only after they had thought this out did the Blood Sickle members come out of their shocked state and regain their composure.
Seeing that Lin Huang was stubbornly denying any use of an Almighty’s technique, they did not pursue the matter further.
Lin Huang, on the other hand, had no idea what the Blood Sickle members were thinking. Since they had stopped asking, he also did not bother to explain further.
He extended a telekinetic thread and coiled it around the severed hand. He then put the hand away in his storage space.
Only then did he turn his head to watch the projection of Buried Heaven’s God Territory.
The six Blood Sickle members did not speak any further. They looked over at the projection of the God Territory in silence and continued observing the fight.
In the God Territory, the battle between Buried Heaven and the raptor was becoming more and more intense.
Buried Heaven had also gotten increasingly into the zone and had taken control of the entire battle now.
Every attack was delivered full force without holding back.
Even in defense, he was only protecting crucial body parts.
He was like a mad demon now.
Lin Huang and the rest could not help exclaiming in admiration to themselves.
This was the best way to do battle in the God Territory. There was no need to worry about the drain on one’s power or be concerned about getting injured.
On the other end, the Divine Power in the raptor’s body was nearing critical levels.
When the raptor entered the material realm, it was restricted by the realm itself.
Before obtaining the Dao seal, they could not replenish their power from the material realm at all. The more they used the energy in their bodies, the more it would decrease.
The battle between Buried Heaven and the raptor lasted for almost three days and three nights before coming to an end at last.
The powerful raptor was finally drained to the point of collapse, and Buried Heaven slaughtered it in his God Territory.
After the raptor’s death, Buried Heaven’s Dao seal absorbed the raptor’s true spirit automatically, making it part of the Dao seal itself.
Only then was Buried Heaven considered to have completed his unification.
A moment later, he strode out of his God Territory and his aura was now completely different.
