Chapter 1668

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The first stage of unification—psychic communication—went by easily, just like that.

Inclusive of the time the god sequence chains took to manifest as creatures, the entire process only lasted less than half a minute.

After the god sequence chains withdrew into the God Territory within Lin Huang’s body, they consolidated into lines of Dao tattoos in the heavens above his God Territory.

Once the millions of Dao tattoos were fully consolidated, they began releasing an endless frenzy of Divine Power.

At the same time, Lin Huang’s God Territory finally manifested on its own around him. The size of his God Territory was like a boundless universe that had descended into the virtual realm.

Lin Huang himself did not know at present exactly how many star zones it covered.

However, he could clearly sense that many Voids were contained within his God Territory.

.

Fortunately, he did not sense the existence of anything threatening.

After all, he was in the great world right now, not the universe.

At present, the great world did not even have a publicly visible middle-rank Lord. Fewer still had died and become Voids. Even back in the ancient era, when resources in the great world were ample, not many upper-rank Lords would stay in the great world, so very few of them had died in the great world and become Voids.

This was also the main reason why Lin Huang dared to try unification in the virtual realm.

However, he was by no means certain if the unification would attract powerful entities from the universe.

Lin Huang ignored the Voids contained within his God Territory.

He focused his entire attention back on the process of unification.

This was the second stage of unification—unification.

Simply put, this was the transformation of god sequence chains into Dao tattoos, which would then consolidate into a Dao seal.

This stage was also the one with the highest failure rate in the process of a Heavenly God’s unification. Over eighty percent of individuals had their unifications fail at this point.

This was because the process of god sequence chains consolidating into a Dao seal would release terrifying energy, somewhat similar to a nuclear fusion reaction. It was a triple test for the physical body, God’s soul, and God Territory of the individual performing the unification.

The energy released from the god sequence chains consolidating into a Dao seal would impact the individual’s God Territory first. At the same time, some of the energy would leak out and impact the individual’s physical body and God’s soul.

The unification would instantly fail if either the individual’s God Territory, physical body, or God’s soul failed to sustain the impact.

Therefore, for most cultivators in general, this was a very dangerous stage.

However, Lin Huang was different.

Even as early as imperial-level, his God Territory had been different from that of everyone else. Back then, he could already refine and integrate others’ God Territories.

As for later on, despite being newly elevated to heavenly god-level, he could integrate many God Territory Shell Remnants of half-step Heavenly Gods. He could even refine the God Territories of lower-rank Lords right away.

For ordinary cultivators, there were limits on the number of God Territories each individual’s God Territory could refine and integrate. Not only that, there were severe restrictions on refinement strength. They could not increase their strength limitlessly like Lin Huang could.

Great Heaven, who was powerful enough to subdue an entire era, had mastered forty-two god sequence chains. However, from first-rank heavenly god-level to ninth-rank heavenly god-level, he only dared to refine nine Heavenly Gods’ God Territory Shell Remnants.

That was already the limit his God Territory could take.

Lin Huang, on the other hand, did not merely have a powerful God Territory. The strength of his God’s soul was peak upper-rank lord-level now. Although his physical body was slightly less powerful, he was still on par with a peak middle-rank Lord.

In the void, the millions of Dao tattoos rapidly consolidated into a golden Dao seal.

The Dao seal was like an intensely burning star suspended above the God Territory, releasing endless energy in all directions.

The piercingly bright golden light spread to practically every corner of the God Territory. Any place it passed through was immediately reduced to scorched earth.

Without hesitation, Lin Huang immediately invoked more god sequence chains from within his God Territory to envelope the Dao seal in layers.

One must know that only a million god sequence chains were required to consolidate this Dao seal. However, there were over seven million god sequence chains in Lin Huang’s God Territory. Excluding the one million god sequence chains used to consolidate the Dao seal, there were still over six million of them remaining.

Under Lin Huang’s control, these six million and more god sequence chains swiftly enveloped the Dao seal like a giant cocoon.

Although the divine rays released from the Dao seal were powerful, they could not break through a barrier several times more powerful than themselves.

The divine rays released from the giant god sequence chain cocoon were now less than ten percent of what had previously been released.

This level of energy was no longer sufficient to cause any shakeups in Lin Huang’s massive, boundless God Territory.

As time passed by, the golden rays released from consolidating the Dao seal soon faded entirely. The one million god sequence chains had fully consolidated into a golden Dao seal.

From beginning to end, Lin Huang’s God Territory did not experience even a tremor. The unification stage had passed.

He did not even sense any of the three challenges other Lords faced in the unification stage.

Most of the energy released from consolidating the Dao seal had been absorbed by the giant cocoon formed from the six million and more god sequence chains. It did not shake Lin Huang’s God Territory in the slightest, much less bleed through into his God Territory and impact his God’s soul and physical body.

The second stage of unification was now complete—in fact, far more smoothly than Lin Huang had anticipated.

In reality, he had been a little worried that his physical body might not be strong enough and had wondered if it would be crushed by the energy impact resulting from consolidating the Dao seal.

However, from the looks of it, this was an entirely extraneous worry.

The second stage of unification had now finished, and the Dao seal had been formed.

The next would be the third and last stage of unification—Dao plundering!

Once the Dao seal had been formally consolidated, it would attract covetous raptors. A raptor would then come to the material realm and attempt to snatch away the Dao seal.

Only through defeating the raptor, protecting the Dao seal, and letting it absorb the raptor’s Origin Energy would the Dao seal truly be successfully consolidated.

However, this stage was the most difficult in the entire process of unification.

This was because raptors were attracted by the Dao seal’s aura, and their abilities would usually be on par with the individual performing unification.

The problem was that raptors were all lord-level powerhouses. They were far more familiar with using a Dao seal than the individual performing unification.

Furthermore, both raptor and individual would be in different states of mind. The individual would mostly desire to protect the Dao seal—a more passive state of mind. The raptor, however, would be in a predatory state of mind, which was more active.

Raptors would definitely have the upper hand in terms of combat experience and state of mind.

Naturally, the individual performing the unification was not entirely at a disadvantage. At least they had the advantage of home ground, as the battlefield would be within the individual’s God Territory.

Despite this, throughout the ages, individuals performing unification would lose to raptors in battle more often than not.

If the second stage of unification was extremely dangerous, then the third stage—Dao plundering—was akin to burning one’s bridges.

If one managed this stage successfully, they would be reborn and become a Lord! If they could not navigate this stage, they would fail, and all their efforts would be for naught.

Lin Huang was no stranger to Dao plundering.

Several months back, he had witnessed Buried Heaven’s Dao plundering and had fought a raptor more than once after that. Many raptors (Voids) had died at his hands as well.

However, Lin Huang could not help but feel rather anxious at this moment.

This was because, from what he knew, everyone performed unification in the material realm.

He had absolutely no idea what kind of raptors he would attract now that he was performing unification in the virtual realm.
