Lin Huang was finally relieved when the unification stage with the highest mortality rate had passed.
Theoretically, the most difficult stage of unification was the third stage—Dao plundering.
However, Sword 1 was performing the unification in the Kingdom in Lin Huang's body.
If Sword 1 could not defeat the Raptor, Lin Huang would not mind intervening.
He was not worried that his intervention would cause any abnormalities in the unification.
After all, he could suppress the situation with this current ability if it really happened, since it was just the unification of a Heavenly God elevating to a lower-rank Lord.
The unification stage had been completed in Sword 1's God Territory, and the Dao seal had been officially consolidated, and had retracted its aura entirely. It hovered in the air quietly, integrating with the God Territory.
At that moment, the third stage, Dao plundering, had commenced.
In the God Territory, a Dimensional Whirlpool that was like a Virtual Eye was formed at a high speed.
A monster with a muscular body walked out of the Dimensional Whirlpool.
It was a monster that was over three meters tall. Its lower body looked a little like a praying mantis. It had four powerful insect legs that made it look like the monster had excellent jumping capabilities. There was no head on its upper body, with only a section of spine that seemed to be made of bronze. It had 12 delicate joints that were connected to sword arms.
The monster looked like a praying mantis monster that had been mechanically modified.
It was also Lin Huang's first time seeing such a monster. He did not know its name at all.
Sword 1 merely observed it momentarily, without a trace of emotions on his face at all. However, he clearly exerted more strength into his right, sword-wielding hand.
Lin Huang probed it with Divine Telekinesis. The praying mantis monster's aura was slightly more powerful than Buried Heaven's. It was clearly a lower-rank Lord with only one Dao seal. It was just that it had more Dao tattoos than Buried Heaven.
Lin Huang guessed that it should have a similar number of Dao tattoos as Sword 1 did.
After the mechanical praying mantis monster passed through the Virtual Eye, it locked onto its prey—Sword 1.
Almost without hesitation, its body instantly turned into an aftershadow as it jumped hard with its legs. It arrived before Sword 1 almost instantaneously.
Its 12 sword arms controlled 12 battle swords, slashing at Sword 1 from different angles.
Sword 1 would be dismembered if he was hit by the attack.
Sword 1's pupils could not help but constrict slightly the second he saw its movements. "So fast!"
Nevertheless, his body reacted instinctively.
While he retreated frantically, he swung his sword consecutively as he used the Odyl that he had yet to familiarize himself with to defend against the praying mantis monster's attack.
His attack was crushed in one hit as expected, but he had managed to dodge the praying mantis monster's first round of attacks.
Lin Huang saw the gap of abilities between the two of them from that one exchange.
Sword 1 was significantly weaker in terms of speed.
The praying mantis monster was clearly an expert in speed-type attack techniques. Its speed exceeded most Lords with one Dao seal.
Not only its movement speed, but its attack speed was stunning too.
Its 12 sword arms attacked almost at the same time without any delays in between. It could adjust its attack speed as it wished.
These two factors gave it excellent flexibility.
Although Sword 1 was no match for it in terms of speed, he had great movement skills to make up for it.
In terms of attack speed, his rapid attack technique was no slower than the praying mantis monster.
In terms of flexibility, the praying mantis monster was slightly more capable, but it was not to the point where it would have the upper hand in suppressing Sword 1.
On the application of Odyl, the praying mantis monster was clearly more familiar with it. It was extremely smooth.
Sword 1 was rather new to that aspect.
The disparity was obvious. That was the reason why it defeated Sword 1's few sword attacks easily.
However, Lin Huang did not think that it was an issue.
With Sword 1's Sword Dao comprehension, and his abundant battle experience in the past, he should be able to familiarize himself with the application of Odyl in no time.
Although Sword 1 was weaker than his opponent at the moment, Lin Huang did not think that he would lose.
After all, the two of them were battling in Sword 1's God Territory.
As soon as he familiarized himself with the application of Odyl, he should be able to master using the other god sequence chains in his God Territory rapidly.
Just when Lin Huang was still evaluating Sword 1's probability of winning, the battle between the two had moved on to the second round.
Since the first attack had failed to defeat Sword 1, the praying mantis monster tried applying Odyl that the opponent was unfamiliar with.
It began its frantic attacks without hesitation. It teleported continuously and took the initiative to attack over and over again.
Sword 1 changed his previous strategy of tackling speed with speed. He began to defend instead.
At the beginning, Lin Huang was frowning a little bit as he watched. The reason being that pure defense would only accelerate the exhaustion of Divine Power and Odyl. He might drain his Divine Power and Odyl completely right in front of his opponent.
However, Lin Huang soon realized that his worry was unnecessary.
Sword 1 was very skillful in his defense. He mainly dodged by using teleportation. He would only defend when he really could not dodge the attack.
Although almost each of his defenses would be crushed with one hit, he could always dodge the attack that broke through the defense.
Not only that, Lin Huang could see that he was becoming more and more familiar with the application of Odyl with each defense.
"This guy has such a firm mentality. He didn't forget to use his opponent to increase his familiarity in applying Odyl at such a time."
Fortunately, this Raptor did not seem to be very smart. It did not notice what Sword 1 was doing.
It kept attacking over and over again, adjusting its attack angle and speed over and over again.
However, it soon realized that its opponent's defense was getting more and more stable.
Lin Huang watched the defensive battle for over half an hour. He had also witnessed the entire process of Sword 1 mastering the application of Odyl.
At the moment, Sword 1, who figured that he had gotten familiar with Odyl, finally retaliated.
At the beginning, he was only using the Dao tattoo power that was available in his Dao seal.
The opponent would still break each of his attacks easily.
Slowly, he began to borrow the available god sequence chains in the God Territory in his body.
Almost over an hour later, he could finally fight a fair and even battle with the Raptor.
He even began to suppress his opponent now, after figuring out the Raptor's combat tendencies.
Lin Huang was finally relieved as he watched up to this point.
He knew that it was certain that Sword 1 would succeed in his unification.
Less than half an hour later, Sword 1 had finally killed the mechanical praying mantis monster.
The Virtual Eye in his God Territory faded quickly.
The integration of the Dao seal with his God Territory was completed thoroughly, as if the reset button on the entire God Territory had been pressed.
The God Territory seemed like it was going back in time. The planets that were destroyed during the unification had returned to their original orbits.
Even the living beings that died in the God Territory were reborn one after the other…
Sword 1's God Territory began to expand further, transforming into a legitimate Kingdom.
As Lin Huang waited for the changes of the projection of Sword 1's Kingdom to complete its transformation, he had a faint feeling that the Kingdom inside his body seemed to have had a layer of restriction lifted.
This time, he did not spread his Divine Telekinesis to search for the source of the feeling. Instead, he checked the changes within his body directly.
Very soon, he could not help but raise his brows slightly.
"The restriction of 3,000 Dao seals has been lifted?!"
