The area where the Jealousies were distributed was even larger than that of the Furies previously . It took Lin Huang and the others a full day before they managed to get out of the area where the Jealousies were .

Along the way, they encountered over forty Jealousies . These were of various forms, and their jealousies were each more peculiar than the other .

Everyone in Lin Huang’s group was targeted by Jealousies for various strange reasons .

For instance, Lin Huang was targeted with, “Why are you so good looking?” while Virtuoso was targeted with, “Why is your mask so pretty?””You’ve got a few years on you, but why is your aura still so good?” was directed at Saber9, while “Why is your mustache so thick?!” was aimed at Tu Tong . “Why do you have such a nice body when you’re so short?!” was what Lan Ling received…

Fortunately, they were able to avoid high-level Jealousies thanks to Lan Ling’s advance warning . The beginner-stage and intermediate-stage Jealousies were not powerful enough to be threats to them .

After leaving the Jealousies’ territory, Lan Ling performed a new round of probing immediately .

“Up ahead is the Greeds’ territory . ”

“We’ve finally reached the good stuff,” Tu Tong commented with a smile .

He said this because when these monsters called Greeds were killed, they would drop various materials . Sometimes, there would even be rare materials dropping from their corpses .

“Don’t be reckless . There are extremely powerful fellows among Greeds as well,” Virtuoso reminded, “Most Greeds covet superficial things . However, there’s a small minority of them who will steal the essence of their prey after discovering the fundamental essence of the prey’s power . Such Greeds can be as powerful as any sixth-rank being . ”

“According to the data records within the universe, among the seven most common types of Disasters, Greeds are the second-most numerous group to have elevated to Lords—they’ve even surpassed the Gluttons,” Saber9 added from where he was off to the side .

“Then which of them is ranked No . 1?” Lin Huang asked curiously .

“I guess it should be the Arrogances,” Lan Ling answered before Virtuoso and Saber9 could do so .

“That’s right . ” Saber9 nodded .

“Only extremely haughty individuals become Arrogances . Many of them were geniuses from various tribes before their transformation, so their foundation is much better than the other types of Disasters . They also have the strongest talent and potential after transforming into Arrogances,” Virtuoso added, noticing that Saber9 did not have the intention of elaborating further .

The few of them chatted about various Disasters all along the way and very soon came upon their first Greed .

This was also Lin Huang’s first time encountering such a monster .

The Greed before them resembled a Patchwork Monster with many limbs and eyeballs of various forms .

It looked terrifying, but in reality, it was the weakest kind among the Greeds .

Watching as this Patchwork Monster charged toward them, Sword9 did not even have the desire to fight .

Tu Tong, on the other hand, felt that this was his chance to shine . He dashed forward and swung a heavy punch at it .

Within less than ten seconds, his blows had reduced the Greed to a puddle of pulverized flesh .

What depressed Tu Tong was that this Greed was so weak, no material fell out of it after it was killed .

After resolving the matter of this first Greed, they proceeded on their journey again .

Unlike before when they had avoided Disasters as much as they could, Lan Ling’s route this time took them straight toward the Greeds . Apart from high-level heavenly god-level Greeds, she did not bypass any beginner-stage or intermediate-stage ones if they were along her route . All along the way, she led the group to monsters that they could kill .

As anticipated, apart from the first Greed that did not drop any materials, the rest of the Greeds dropped materials whenever they were killed .

Lin Huang was excited at first, but seeing that Tu Tong was happy to do the fighting for them, he did not bother to interfere .

However, later on, he could not help jumping into the fray when they encountered intermediate-stage Greeds . He obtained many materials along the way, even some rare ones .

Just as they were about to leave the Greeds’ gathering area, they finally encountered a powerful Greed .

This Greed was a skeletal monster clad in a black robe . Before Lin Huang and the rest had even arrived, it had already sensed them from far away .

It did not use Divine Telekinesis; this was purely spiritual perception .

It stretched its arms into the void and retrieved a gigantic black sickle .

Right after that, it brandished the sickle and launched an attack from dozens of kilometers away .

Like a wave, the black sickle gleam swelled on the wind, charging at the group in destructive fury . By the time it reached them, it had become a massive tsunami .

Even Lin Huang’s pupils contracted involuntarily when he saw this .

This attack alone was on par with level-2 Sword Dao heavenly rule, at the very least .

Before Lin Huang could make a move, the nearby Saber9’s battle intent peaked . His saber gleam shot forward like a golden electric arc and collided forcefully with the sickle gleam .

Sword cultivators and saber cultivators had always been rivals who were unwilling to yield to one another . Saber9 had been looking for the opportunity to spar with Lin Huang along the way, but Lin Huang had repeatedly declined .

Saber9 had nursed his irritation for the entire journey . Now that the group had suddenly come upon a powerful sword cultivator Disaster, it was only natural that he could no longer restrain himself .

This time, he held nothing back in his attack .

At first, the saber gleam was just a golden meteor, but it grew increasingly blinding .

By the time it collided with the black wave, it was already like a blazing sun .

The collision of these two forces was like a massive wave colliding with a sun in the heavens .

Both forces were at a stalemate for a long time . Eventually, they exploded and collapsed almost simultaneously…

A terrifying energy storm swept in all directions, swirling around .

Tu Tong and Lan Ling could not even keep a steady footing . It was not until Virtuoso held up a god sequence shield relic that they were able to resist the aftermath impact of the energy shockwaves .

“So powerful!” Tu Tong’s eyes gleamed as he stared at the explosion .

He and Saber9 were both ninth-rank True Gods, but his ability was nowhere near that of Saber9 .

A trace of fear flickered in Lan Ling’s eyes .

Lin Huang and Virtuoso were unfazed, however . Both of them felt it was nothing out of the ordinary for Saber9 to possess such ability .

In reality, Lin Huang had thought of challenging this sword cultivator Greed earlier . However, since Saber9 did it first, he did not bother trying to compete for the monster with him .

However, since they had seen so many weak Greeds previously, he was still very interested in this Greed that had abilities on par with Saber9 .

“Is this a type of Greed that’s mastered power essence?” Lin Huang turned his head to ask Virtuoso beside him .

“Yes . ” Virtuoso nodded . “It’s only at third-rank heavily god-level, but it has abilities closer to seventh-rank . It must have plundered quite a few god sequence chains . ”

“Greeds can plunder other people’s god sequence chains directly?” Lin Huang was rather puzzled . He himself had the ability to plunder god sequence chains as well, but he had always thought that such an ability was extremely incredible, so it should be rare .

“Very few Greeds have such an ability . ” Virtuoso nodded . “First of all, it must realize that god sequence chains are the source of a Heavenly God’s power . Secondly, it must find the right method of plundering and extracting the god sequence chains from its prey’s body . Thirdly, it must find the right way of integrating the god sequence chains that it has plundered .

“It’s actually extremely difficult to achieve these three conditions because Disasters inherently have clouded consciousness . Moreover, their behaviors are dominated by negative emotions; they’re unable to make judgments on their own .

“Those that can generate a spark of self-awareness in their cloudy minds and shake off being completely dominated by negative emotions are the anomalies among the Disasters . ”
