Looking at the four flashing yellow dots left on the map, Lin Huang’s expression was not relaxed at all .
He still had no clue what the conditions for advancing his Life Palace might be .
“Let’s go; we’ll head to the nearest dot first . ”
Although he had absolutely no clue, he still intended to continue with his line of thought, screening and excluding each of the possibilities .
This time, his target was further away; it took Lin Huang and Warlord more than ten minutes before they finally reached its location .
This third intended target was a humanoid Frost Zombie .
This monster looked a little like a very hairy savage with a height of seven or eight meters . What it might have been in its previous life, Lin Huang could not tell . However, he was able to verify that this Frost Zombie was undead . To be exact, it was a Virtual God rank-9 undead .
Sensing the intruder’s aura, the Frost Zombie lifted its head to stare in Lin Huang and Warlord’s direction . It roared furiously and its aura blazed up like ferocious flames . Its aura was obviously much more powerful than that of an ordinary Virtual God rank-9 .
“The strength of this aura… mythical-level?” Lin Huang could not help but raise his eyebrows upon sensing the Frost Zombie’s aura .
He was barely surprised—after all, he had seen far too many mythical-level creatures .
The blazing flames of the Frost Zombie’s aura quickly peaked; bending its knees slightly, it leaped high into the air toward Lin Huang .
The next moment, however, Lin Huang shook the cuff of his sleeve slightly and another silver gleam flew toward the sky .
The gleam shot toward the Frost Zombie’s forehead at an even higher speed, penetrating it without any observable resistance .
The Frost Zombie did not have time to dodge at all as the telekinetic flying dagger pierced through its brain and out its skull again . Its leaping figure quickly smashed onto the ice, raising a cloud of mist .
Lin Huang stared at the mist-obscured area, however, and frowned .
“It’s not dead?”
The vital points of some types of undead were not the same as those of ordinary monsters . Normally, the head was a vital organ for most monsters . However, despite its head having been shattered, the Frost Zombie in front of Lin Huang showed no signs of its aura weakening . Obviously, its head was not one of its vital points .
From within the cloud of mist, the Frost Zombie howled in fury, sounding even more aggressive than before .
Clearly, Lin Huang’s earlier attack had angered it .
“It doesn’t seem to be very clever . ” As soon as Lin Huang finished speaking, the Divine Telekinesis-controlled flying dagger that had penetrated through Frost Zombie’s head circled around, flew backward, and shot through the cloud of mist .
Almost at the same time, the Frost Zombie’s roaring abruptly ceased .
After a while, Lin Huang’s figure slowly descended to the ground .
Within the mist-covered area, he quickly saw the corpse of the Frost Zombie where it had tumbled to the ground . There was a clear wound on the left side of its chest cavity where its heart was—this was the result of the second attack .
The creature’s life force was rapidly fading .
Lin Huang was expressionless . After he withdrew the flying dagger, he quickly retrieved the Godhead from the Frost Zombie .
As he tossed the Godhead into his inner world, Lin Huang also sent his consciousness into his body simultaneously .
This ice-blue Godhead took a long time to melt within the flames of the Divine Fire .
However, Lin Huang did not need to wait for it to be completely refined . He merely had to wait for a wisp of Godhead energy to be extracted, which he then infused into his Life Palace .
This time, the Life Palace did not reject the infusion of Godhead energy, accepting it instead .
Lin Huang, who had not expected anything to happen, was rather ecstatic after seeing this .
However, he quickly calmed down .
“So the Life Palace can only absorb rank-9 Godheads—or is there something special about this particular one?”
A few months ago when he had first elevated to grade-9 Imperial-level, he had felt that his imperial-level was not yet complete . At that time, he tried one by one with rank-1 to rank-9 Godheads, but the Life Palace refused to absorb any of them .
Right now the Life Palace was willing to absorb this rank-9 Godhead . He was still uncertain what screening criteria the Life Palace used, however .
After a moment of thought, Lin Huang returned his consciousness to his body .
“Let’s go find the next one!”
After he had stowed the Frost Zombie in his storage space, Lin Huang and Warlord headed straight in the direction of the second Virtual God rank-9 monster .
After about six or seven minutes, the two of them located their fourth target .
This time, the object of their attention was a Snow Raven .
This was a species of white Corvidae, diminutive in size and only slightly larger than the palm of an adult .
Although it was not large, the combat strength of these creatures was by no means weak . Their speed was greater than 90% of monsters of the same rank . They were also proficient in psychic attack esoteric arts and were highly skilled at combined psychic attack techniques with Ice Elements . If they encountered weak opponents, they could even freeze their opponent’s souls directly with their gaze .
Sensing Lin Huang and Warlord’s arrival, the Snow Raven immediately uttered a loud cry .
A torrent of psychic shock waves rippled swiftly outward like an invisible wave of water, engulfing Lin Huang and Warlord .
Both of them allowed the psychic shock waves to penetrate through their bodies as if nothing had happened .
For Lin Huang, he was able to completely resist a move like this .
His soul strength was comparable to that of a True God, and he was almost completely immune to all forms of psychic attacks at virtual god-level, not to mention this was only a Legendary-level Snow Raven .
As for Warlord, he was a mechanical type . He did not even have a soul in the conventional sense, so he was naturally immune to all forms of psychic attacks .
Lin Huang did not make any large gestures either; a silver gleam shot out from his cuff and into the open beak of the Snow Raven, exiting the creature’s skull with no obstacles at all .
After killing the Snow Raven, Lin Huang quickly retrieved its Godhead and tossed it into his inner world .
After a while, he frowned again .
“It’s not absorbing now?”
The Snow Raven’s Godhead was also a Virtual God rank-9 Godhead, but the Life Palace rejected it entirely .
However, the energy from the Frost Zombie’s Godhead was accepted by the Life Palace .
“They are all rank-9 Godheads—one was absorbed, but the other was not…” Lin Huang stood where he was and carefully analyzed the possible reasons . “Is it because the Frost Zombie Godhead is class-4, and the Snow Raven Godhead is class-3? ”
He thought back carefully . After he had elevated to grade-9 Imperial-level, he had tried to continue refining Godheads . In the end, he had tried Godheads from rank-1 to rank-9 one by one, and the Life Palace had still refused to absorb the Godhead energy . However, he seemed to recall that all the Godheads he had used at that time were from class-3 Legendary-level monsters—none of the Godheads were from class-4 Legendary-level monsters .
“So the Life Palace didn’t accept the Godhead energy previously because the class of the Godhead was insufficiently advanced?” Lin Huang’s eyes gradually brightened; he felt that he might have hit upon the truth .
“Warlord, are there any class-4 Legendary-level monsters in the remaining two hunting targets?” He immediately turned his head and asked Warlord .
“There is a frost spirit that should be class-4 . ”
“Let’s go! We’ll hunt for that ice spirit right away!” Lin Huang could not wait to verify his guess .
