Chapter 1640: Lin Huang’s Killing Move
After merely one clash, Lin Huang already had some gener insight into the ability of the Apocalypse Dragon Python that he was facing.
This was a Lord with five Dao seals that had mastered a total of some ten thousand god sequence chains.
Overall, its ability was similar to Dark Sword, whom he had encountered previously.
However, Dark Sword was a sword cultivator, after all, and more proficient in attacks; his techniques were also more varied.
In comparison, the Apocalypse Dragon Python had a more powerful physical body and stronger defenses.
For Lin Huang, the Apocalypse Dragon Python was more difficult to deal with compared to Dark Sword.
Its physical body was almost perfectly integrated with its Dao seals, and the surface of its scales was completely covered by Dao seal layers.
For Lin Huang, who only had a level-1 Sword seal, it would be very difficult for him to breach the creature’s defenses.
Whenever the blood-red dragon beast formed from the God Weapon flying daggers struck the body of the Apocalypse Dragon Python, there would be the ringing sound of metal striking against metal. Sometimes, there would even be sparks. Even if that happened, however, the daggers only left faint scratches on the creature’s scales at most.
“This definitely won’t do if I go on exhausting myself. Given the current strength of my attacks, it’s able to defend itself without expending that much Divine Power at all.” In his mind, Lin Huang was rapidly thinking through all sorts of countermeasures. “I have to increase my attack power!”
While Lin Huang was still considering combat tactics, the Apocalypse Dragon Python had swiftly regrouped from its earlier injuries.
Losing six of its eyes did not make it fear Lin Huang. Instead, the injury had aroused its ferocity.
As far as the Apocalypse Dragon Python was concerned, Lin Huang was just a Lord with one Dao seal who had managed to injure it earlier through sheer luck.
It lowered its head, its two remaining crimson eyes staring fixedly at Lin Huang.
However, this time, it did not dare to release any more shockwaves. Instead, it opened its enormous mouth and spewed out endless black flames.
The flames were like a flowing galaxy. Within the blink of an eye, they had spread over a distance of several dozen lightyears, surging toward Lin Huang. Even a small part of the Devil Hunter Star Zone was swallowed up.
Although it was not particularly intelligent, the Apocalypse Dragon Python had clearly learned its lesson from earlier. It did not plan on giving Lin Huang a chance to deflect the attack—it used a ranged attack right away.
Lin Huang smirked slightly. He had no intention at all of fighting the tsunami-like inferno that was surging toward him.
In a flash, he vanished on the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already outside the area that the black flames covered.
As for the Pfister Star, he would not feel psychologically burdened at all if such a barren planet was destroyed in the material realm, much less in this virtual realm.
After dodging the Apocalypse Dragon Python’s black flame attack, Lin Huang began to perform hand seals rapidly.
In the starry sky, the million or more God Weapon flying daggers swiftly began changing shape. In an instant, they transformed into over a million swords. The dragon beast form dispersed completely as well, rapidly forming a massive sword formation in the air.
This was the killing move that Bloody had left for Lin Huang the last time they met.
In total, there were twelve sets of ultimate sword formations. Bloody had derived these ultimate killing formations using her own spirit strength and computational skills.
Based on what Bloody had mentioned at the time, if Lin Huang were able to use them, it should not be difficult for him to kill a half-step Lord.
The abilities Lin Huang displayed currently were at least a hundred times more powerful than before as well.
It was also his first time using this type of sword formation in actual combat. He could clearly sense that as the countless battle swords returned to their places in the sword formation and resonated with each other, the formation’s power was also continuously increasing.
In less than the time it took for a breath, the formation’s power had shot up to its peak!
“It’s almost the equivalent of compounding two additional Sword seal levels…” Lin Huang’s eyes lit up.
The power of his compounded Sword seal far exceeded the Apocalypse Dragon Python’s level-5 Dao seal.
This was because his level-1 Sword seal contained the power of over twelve thousand god sequence chains. By compounding another two levels, this gave it the equivalent power of thirty-six thousand god sequence chains.
The Apocalypse Dragon Python’s compounded level-5 Dao seal, however, had only amassed the power of some ten thousand god sequence chains.
Although Lin Huang did not have as many Dao seals as the creature, he could completely overwhelm it in terms of the volume of sequence power.
Once the sword formation was complete, the Apocalypse Dragon Python clearly sensed the threat radiating from it.
Its massive snake tail lashed out, intending to smash the newly-consolidated sword formation to bits.
In the time it took for a breath, the enormous snake tail had traversed a distance of several dozen lightyears.
At the same time, the huge sword formation began spinning furiously as Lin Huang controlled it with his mind.
The million or more battle swords in the sky transformed into a single giant sword. It slashed toward the snake tail at an even faster speed.
Boom!
In an instant, both attacks collided in the starry heavens.
The boom even pierced through the limits of the vacuum of space, transmitting in all directions. It spread toward the distance at a speed that was hundreds of times faster than the speed of light.
At the same time, what the collision produced—energy waves, overwhelming Odylic waves, all sorts of sequence powers and Rule Bending Powers, as well as Divine Power that had dispelled—was sweeping in all directions.
Suddenly, all the planets in the entire Devil Hunter Star Zone exploded one after another and were then completely reduced to dust.
Even stars and black holes were no exception. They were crushed to powder by the escaping energies caused by the two combatants.
This, then, was the Holy Power of lord-level powerhouses.
They could destroy the entire galaxy in the time it took to turn one hand over!
At that moment, one of the main culprits in this attack—Lin Huang—remained where he stood, unmoving. He watched the Apocalypse Dragon Python across from him with calm, clear eyes.
The tail that the Apocalypse Dragon Python was so proud of now sported a massive wound so deep the bone could be seen.
It was very evident who the winner of this encounter was.
The corners of Lin Huang’s mouth quirked up slightly when he saw the wound. It was at least one thousand kilometers long and was still bleeding.
He had finally breached the creature’s defenses!
Although it was a far cry from directly severing its tail, the fact that he had broken through its defenses and had been able to cause such a massive wound was already good news.
Lin Huang finally felt completely relieved when he saw the Apocalypse Dragon Python’s wound.
Only now was he sure that he had a chance of winning.
“Roar!”
The Apocalypse Dragon Python released a terrifying roar at Lin Huang—whether from anger, pain, or whatever other reason was unknown.
Endless black flames accompanied the roar.
This time, the Apocalypse Dragon Python spewed considerably more black flame than previously. If it had been just a river bursting its dams before, it was now truly a surging tsunami.
It flung its head and spurted flames in every direction. It clearly wanted to seal off all possible escape routes for Lin Huang.
However, in face of the Apocalypse Dragon Python’s behavior, Lin Huang merely shook his head and smiled.
This was nothing more than a child throwing a tantrum after losing a game.
It would not affect the final outcome of the game at all.
Lin Huang did not even bother to evade this time. As he moved his fingers slightly, Mirror consolidated in front of him immediately. It then turned into a sphere over two meters in diameter, entirely enveloping his body with no neglected areas in his defenses at all.
At the same time, he used his mind again. In the distance, the sword formation made from the God Weapon flying daggers transformed into a giant, blood-red sword once more and slashed at the Apocalypse Dragon Python.
This time, the target of its attack was the creature’s vital parts!
