As Lin Huang petted the Ninetails Lynx that had landed on his shoulder, he looked toward the distance in the direction the Raiders were coming from.

  He was quite satisfied with the results of this first clash.

  After all, this Ninetails Lynx was only a lower-rank Lord with a level-10 Dao seal. It was extremely difficult for it to use its space barrier abilities to restrain middle-rank lord-level powerhouses. Moreover, it was attacking nine Lords at once this round, so it made sense that some were able to break free. Furthermore, the three lower-rank Lords who had broken loose all had powerful abilities and more than six Dao seals.

  However, the Ninetails Lynx seemed to be rather dissatisfied with the result. It sat on Lin Huang’s shoulder, its pitch-black eyes staring at the two middle-rank Lords in a somewhat unfriendly manner.

  If these two Lords had not attacked it, the three lower-rank Lords would not have been able to break free of their restraints so easily.

  “A rank-6 imperial monster?!”


  The appearance of the Ninetails Lynx attracted Steel Fist and Epic Player’s attention immediately.

  The two of them could only roughly gauge its ability, but they did not pick up on the fact that it was one of Lin Huang’s Combat Souls.

  This was because, ordinarily speaking, nobody would cultivate their God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls to lord-level in a fit of idleness. If they had the resources, it would be far better to utilize those resources themselves.

  “A rank-6 imperial monster with a main cultivation path in spatial rule. That’s rare.” Epic Player looked envious.

  As a clone of a reincarnated being, he had obtained a few fairly excellent imperial monster cubs from his Primordium and had raised them himself as well. The one with the highest combat strength was already at lord-level too. However, compared to the Ninetails Lynx on Lin Huang’s shoulder, there was a big gap in their abilities.

  A single direct confrontation had killed almost half their members in one attack, but the remaining Raiders did not give up on their pursuit. Instead, they immediately entered the Devil Hunter Star Zone and arrived in the starry sky not far from the Pfister Star.

  “Lin Huang, it seems we’ve truly underestimated you.” The leader was a man with the codename Black Mountain.

  His build was stocky, and he was over three meters tall. He only gave Steel Fist and Epic Player a glance before turning his gaze toward Lin Huang, who was on the Pfister Star.

  In a flash, Lin Huang disappeared from where he was and reappeared next to Steel Fist and Epic Player.

  “It’s not that you’ve underestimated me; it’s that you’ve overestimated yourselves,” Lin Huang replied calmly.

  He merely gave the middle-rank Lord leader a glance, then turned his gaze toward the other middle-rank Lord.

  He was a man of very ordinary appearance with an inconspicuous face; he was not even one point eight meters tall. He looked thoroughly harmless.

  “You must be Spy, yes?” Lin Huang’s tone grew colder.

  The man lifted his head, and the smile on his face became increasingly bizarre. He then spoke in a synthesizer-like voice, “That’s right, I’m Spy who killed Yang Ling. Give me Yang Ling’s girlfriend, and I’ll allow you a quick death.”


  “Unfortunately, I don’t intend to give you a quick death!” Lin Huang turned his gaze from Spy and looked at the team leader again.

  “Are these all of the Raiders in this great world?”


  “Almost.” Black Mountain gave a bland smile. “What—are you going to kill us all?”


  “I’m certainly planning on it,” Lin Huang answered bluntly.

  “You’re young in years but certainly not small in your boasting.” As soon as Black Mountain finished speaking, he signaled one of the lower-rank Lords with a glance.

  The lower-rank Lord moved his fingers slightly. No one knew at which juncture he had managed to set up Divine Telekinesis threads that twined around Steel Fist and Epic Player’s arms, pulling them away from Lin Huang.

  At the same time, the other two lower-rank Lords advanced on Steel Fist and Epic Player, respectively.

  Lin Huang watched this happening, completely expressionless, but did not try to prevent it.

  In reality, he had already noticed the lower-rank Lord’s maneuvers earlier and had guessed their battle strategy.

  They wanted to separate his allies from him, then muster the two middle-rank Lords to dispose of him first.

  All they had to do on Steel Fist and Epic Player’s side was to stall them, preventing them from coming to his rescue.

  “The abilities of the two aides you’ve summoned here are indeed quite excellent, but unfortunately, they can’t help you now.” A ferocious grin appeared on Spy’s face.

  “You’re not really thinking the two of you can definitely take me out, are you?” Lin Huang remained extremely calm. He did not betray any traces of the anxiety and fear that ordinary people would have when facing two middle-rank Lords.

  “You restrain that cat; I’ll get rid of him,” Black Mountain told the nearby Spy, not bothering to conceal his words. He was not worried about Lin Huang hearing him. After all, to him, Lin Huang was already a dead man.

  However, Lin Huang smiled when he heard that.

  “I think you’ve made a mistake about one thing. What I’ve reared……isn’t just a mere cat.”


  As soon as Lin Huang finished speaking, the remaining God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls appeared almost simultaneously.

  These were the Divine Sun Tree, Enchanted Fairy, the Destructive Divine Mammoth, Nightmare Tapir, Undead Styx, Withered Flower, Creation Clock, Shackle Serpent, and Death Butterfly!

  Each of them was a lower-rank Lord with a level-10 Dao seal.

  This was the result of Lin Huang spending countless years visualizing in the virtual realm. Only then were the ten God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls able to consolidate level-10 Dao seals and achieve lower-rank lord-level.

  Even middle-rank Lords Black Mountain and Spy had a change of expression when they saw the ten God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls appearing all at once.

  The two battlefields nearby also rapidly became aware of the anomalies happening on this end.

  The three lower-rank Lords looked rather pale. After all, the Ninetails Lynx had displayed its abilities earlier for all to see, and the three of them had almost been killed.

  Meanwhile, Steel Fist and Epic Player’s faces bore rather strange expressions.

  Both of them had initially been worried about how long Lin Huang would be able to face down the two middle-rank Lords on his own. Now they saw that Lin Huang did not just have one aide in combat—he had an entire group of them.

  ‘That aura strength—all ten of them are rank-6 monsters!’ Epic Player could not help secretly exclaiming to himself.

  He had reared imperial monsters before, and could tell at a glance that Lin Huang’s God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls were all terrifying Pure Spirit rank-6 entities.

  Steel Fist, on the other hand, could not identify the imperial monsters’ ranks, but she could clearly sense that the aura of these “imperial monsters” was no lower than her own.

  ‘No wonder this fellow was so confident from the start.’


  Although a lower-rank Lord with ten seals had not yet elevated to middle-rank lord-level, they more or less possessed the ability to fight a newly-elevated middle-rank Lord.

  “I’ll stall these imperial monsters—you look for an opportunity to kill him!” Black Mountain changed his strategy right away.

  As a combat cultivator, he had more powerful defensive abilities. Under these circumstances, it was natural that he was more suited to drawing fire from the “imperial monsters”.

  If he allowed Spy to draw fire from the “imperial monsters” instead, Black Mountain was slightly worried that all ten of them would finish Spy off before he himself managed to kill Lin Huang.

  Clearly, Spy was aware of this as well. He did not put forward any objections.

  Lin Huang’s expression remained calm as if he were not really bothered about whatever battle strategy his opponents were going to use.

  As soon as he gave his order, the God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls immediately went into action.

  The Destructive Divine Mammoth led the way, lumbering toward Black Mountain with its steel hooves……
