After being besieged by the blood-red sword gleams for about ten seconds, the shield created by the black scales finally could not withstand the energy impact and retreated back within the body of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his entire body was sent flying backward.

Lin Huang noticed that the man’s body had not completely melted away; it was merely in the condition that it would be in the aftermath of an extremely high-temperature inferno.

“A combat cultivator?!” Lin Huang could not help but raise his brows. When this monster was still a human being, he had probably been an extremely powerful combat cultivator.

However, the fact that he was able to survive was not entirely due to his strong physical body, but also because the black scales integrated into his muscles and bones after retreating into his body, taking at least half the subsequent impact from the blood-red rays.

Even so, at a glance, Lin Huang guessed that the combat cultivator’s physical strength was probably close to that of a first-rank Heavenly God. Otherwise, he would not have been able to withstand the power of Lin Huang’s assault.

The three slashes killed two of the monsters within seconds, and although one was not dead yet, it had completely lost its ability to fight.

When Lin Huang glanced toward the blackscale monster in the distance whose Divine Power had been completely exhausted, his expression suddenly changed to one of slight puzzlement.

This was because he sensed that the Divine Fires within the bodies of the two slain monsters had all been absorbed by his Life Wheels.

“What’s going on? Why did they absorb eleven Divine Fires?!”

According to his previous experiences from Virtual God rank-1 to Virtual God rank-8, every transition of rank would only allow absorption of ten True God Divine Fires. Virtual God rank-9 should have been no exception.

However, his Life Wheels seemed to have absorbed an eleventh ninth-rank Divine Fire; this was entirely unexpected.

However, his doubts only lasted for a moment. Lin Huang then turned his gaze in the direction of the blackscale monster again.

“Since I can absorb more, then I’ll continue hunting until my Life Wheel stops absorbing!”

He did not bother racking his brain any further over what might have caused this change.

His figure flickered, and he appeared beside the blackscale monster—more precisely, beside the naked middle-aged man whose body had entirely cast off its black scales.

“Your consciousness seems to have preserved its state of awareness, which is rare among polluted individuals.” While Lin Huang carefully scrutinized his opponent, his Divine Telekinesis also made a sweep of the other’s body. “It seems to be in an unusual state of symbiosis…”

After studying the blackscale monster, Lin Huang did not spare it. He raised his sword and beheaded his opponent right away.

“Congratulations to the host on obtaining the entire monster card set for the Symbiotic Creature of the Abyssal Fountain (Supreme God)”

“I obtained a complete monster card set?!” Lin Huang immediately took out the card to check it.

“Monster Card: Symbiotic Creature of the Abyssal Fountain”

“Rarity: Supreme God”

“Monster name: Blackscale”

“Type of Monster: Unique Species / Unknown Tribe”
