<h4>Chapter 1623 - Buried Heaven Versus The Raptor</h4>


    Lin Huang was slightly dazed when he saw the space rift in Buried Heaven’s God Territory. It was as if he had returned to the gravel world and was seeing the Virtual Eye opening in the heavens.


    From the very beginning, he had already known the truth about why the gravel world had been invaded by the Virtual Eye. It was a result of the Emperor’s Heart performing modifications to the gravel world in order to train the native residents.??


    Seeing the space rift that preceded the raptor’s arrival, Lin Huang immediately understood that this must be the inspiration for the Emperor’s Heart in creating the Virtual Eye.


    The space rift above the Dao seal split apart like an eye opening.


    In the ck, fathomless void, a massive, muscled arm suddenly extended out of nowhere, reaching right through the space rift and into Buried Heaven’s God Territory.


    Immediately after, a head poked through as well.


    The head had a face that looked human. It was bald, and there was a single eye on its forehead, while a huge mouth upied almost half its face.


    The creature’s inky-ck eye swept its gaze over Buried Heaven’s God Territory and finally alighted on Buried Heaven. It opened its huge mouth, revealing a maw full of sharp, shark-like teeth.


    "So this is the unification raptor..." Lin Huang mumbled softly. He did not verbalize the second part of the sentence, which was, "It doesn’t look very powerful".


    Off to one side, Gao Ming heard Lin Huang muttering and exined earnestly, "The raptor’s form isn’t fixed. The fact is, the people who performed unification—the ones we know about—encountered different raptors. None of them were the same.


    "However, the one thing we’re certain of is that the raptor has a specific connection to the individual. Almost all saber cultivators will encounter a saber cultivator-type raptor. Almost every sword cultivator will encounter sword cultivator-type monsters. Buried Heaven is abat cultivator, so the raptor he’s encountering this time is clearly abat cultivator like him."


    "What if it’s someone like me, who is a sword cultivator and a psychic?" Lin Huang asked rather curiously.


    "Ordinarily speaking, the raptor you encounter at that point will most likely be a sword cultivator-type monster. After all, sword cultivation is your main cultivation path. There were Lords in the great world who were in the same boat as you. In essence, they encountered raptors that cultivated the same path. There doesn’t seem to have been anyone who’s encountered a raptor that cultivated their secondary path," Gao Ming answered after giving this some thought.


    During Gao Ming and Lin Huang’s conversation, the raptor had fully emerged from the space rift and intruded into Buried Heaven’s God Territory.


    Only now were Lin Huang and the others finally able to see the monster’s full appearance.


    The surface of its body was enveloped in ayer of blood-red energy that did not give off the feel of Divine Power; it was another type of energy. An indeterminate aura radiated from its entire being.


    Its single eye had practically never left Buried Heaven.


    "What a powerful flesh-and-blood aura. You’re definitely delicious. Just catching a whiff of the scent on you from far away has already increased my appetite..."


    As the one-eyed raptor spoke, it extended its long tongue to lick its lips. It did not seem to care what an ugly, drooling spectacle it made.


    "I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to devour you first, then refine your Dao seal!"


    The one-eyed raptor had only just finished speaking when Buried Heaven attacked from his end.


    Even though the raptor was unbelievably arrogant and aggressive, right now Buried Heaven did not fear it in the least.


    One must know that this was his God Territory. He had full advantage on his turf.


    Moreover, his Dao seal had already been consolidated, which also gave him absolute confidence in his abilities.


    As Buried Heaven was illuminated by the Dao seal’s light, a Dao tattoo that was exactly the same as the Dao seal formed on his forehead. At the same time, golden Odyl began flowing through his entire body.


    At that moment, it was as if he had transformed into a golden-armoredbat god.


    Within the blink of an eye, his figure darted forward like lightning. Landing in front of the raptor, hended a heavy blow on it.


    He did not bother testing this blow at all; heunched into it full force.


    Abat cultivator’s physical body was already formidable. In addition, this basic punch had beenpounded with all the sequence powers that Buried Heaven could borrow in his God Territory. In fact, its sheer power could be considered earth-shattering.


    The six Blood Sickle members watched with wide eyes. Clearly, the force of Buried Heaven’s blow was way beyond anything they had expected.


    Even Lin Huang could not help raising his brows.


    "He’spounded over one thousand eight hundred levels of sequence power... Is this the Godly Right’s effect in his God Territory then?"


    Through his inherited memories, Lin Huang had discovered that powerhouses who elevated to heavenly god-level by the usual methods could—within their God Territory—boost their Godly Right by using Rule Bending Power.


    An example was Great Heaven, who had only mastered forty-two god sequence chains. However, from first-rank all the way to ninth-rank, he had integrated ninth-rank heavenly god-level God Territories when he first constructed his Godly Right and during every subsequent elevation. This had given his Godly Right a full eighty-onefold boost.


    As for Buried Heaven, he had mastered twenty-seven god sequence chains. He couldpound one thousand eight hundred levels of sequence power in his God Territory because his Godly Right had clearly given him a sixtyfold boost.


    Lin Huang’s Godly Right, however, waspletely different from theirs. His Godly Right’s maximum limit was far beyond that of Buried Heaven and Great Heaven, and not just in terms of numbers. In his God Territory, he could freely borrow all of the sequence powers it contained.


    If his God Territory absorbed a million or even ten million god sequence chains, then he could use a million or ten million sequence powers.


    However, under normal circ.u.mstances, a Heavenly God’s Godly Right would only work in their own God Territory. It could not be used in the outside world.


    Only by consolidating a Dao seal, bing a Lord, and making their Dao seal the vehicle of the Godly Right could the Godly Right be used in realms outside the God Territory. This would result in the Lord benefitting from the boost in their god sequence chains.


    It was the equivalent of having one hundred million in fixed assets; if it could not be converted into cash, it could not be used at all. However, if one had one hundred million in cash, they could use it where and when they pleased.


    That was the reason why the disparity in ability between Lords and Heavenly Gods could not be bridged.


    Buried Heaven had yet toplete the entire process of unification. Naturally, his abilities could not be reflected in the outside world. Fortunately, the current battle was happening inside his God Territory. This was his turf, which meant he could allocate his Godly Right’s boost as he wished. On top of that, he had sessfully consolidated his Dao seal, so the flow of Odyl throughout his entire body right now made him no different from an actual Lord.


    The punch he threw at the one-eyed raptor at that moment was undoubtedly the most powerful blow he had ever thrown in his life!


    The heavy blow was imbued with a dazzling goldenyer of Odyl and sent straight at the raptor’s face. It was unbelievably fast.


    However, just as the punch was about to strike the raptor’s face, the raptor suddenly grinned at Buried Heaven. The next second, its hand shot out, transforming into eagle-like talons that stopped Buried Heaven’s attack midway. With its other hand, it curled its fist and sent an even faster punch at Buried Heaven.


    Boom!


    The six Blood Sickle members had not even been able to see very much of the exchange of blows between the two when they heard the loud boom.


    Dust and smoke rose from every corner of the God Territory after that, obscuring the figures of the twobatants.


    Lin Huang was the only one who could see everything clearly, and he could not help but frown slightly.


    "This raptor’s physical strength is even more powerful than Buried Heaven’s. Not only that, it’s far more familiar with using its body than he is... I’m afraid Buried Heaven might have a difficult time in this battle."
