Chapter 1655: The Imperial Monsters Return

After dinner that evening, Lin Huang went strolling around the night market.

The Ricky Star had an abundance of nightlife. Even the night market was on a much bigger scale than any Lin Huang had been to on other planets.

This night market was the size of an Earth city—at least a few times bigger even than Wulin Town in the gravel world where he used to live.

There were thirty to forty intersecting streets, both big and small. The longest street stretched fully ten meters or more and was densely packed with hundreds upon thousands of stalls.

There were even more people than that strolling through the streets, however. Although their shoulders did not touch, the crowd could be considered an endless stream of moving figures.

As the sky darkened gradually, warm lights began to light up one by one above the night market, a decorative touch that made the place seem even lovelier.

As the lights came on, more people began showing up at the night market.

Lin Huang relaxed and strolled around aimlessly. Along the way, he saw countless weird and wonderful snacks, as well as many local crafts. For a while, he was dazzled by the sheer amount of things to look at.

He also rapidly discovered that the night market on the Ricky Star must have been inspired by humans. Aside from the larger scale, the types of items for sale were generally the same.

There were all sorts of snacks, drinks, tidbits, crafts, little trinkets, and children’s toys…

After strolling around for almost an hour, Lin Huang suddenly sensed the auras of Grimace and his group.

Only then did he return to his hotel room in a flash.

A moment later, the three imperial monsters found him by following their contract sense.

As soon as Grimace, Lancelot, and Charcoal appeared in front of Lin Huang, they were subjected to a Divine Telekinesis scan.

“All three of you have improved quite a lot.” Lin Huang nodded in satisfaction after the scan.

The three of them were already at eighth-rank heavenly god-level now; they were almost as fast as Kylie in terms of advancement speed.

Furthermore, the three of them had successfully elevated to Pseudo-supreme God-level rank 4.5.

At this level of rank and combat strength, as long as they did not encounter half-step lord-level or lord-level powerhouses, they would be practically invincible in the God Territory when the three of them joined forces.

Grimace gave a faint smirk when he heard Lin Huang’s compliment. Lancelot was expressionless; Charcoal was the only one who was so happy that his tail began undulating.

“We worked really hard the past few months!” Charcoal immediately wanted to show off. “Grimace took us…”

However, Grimace, who was standing to one side, coughed lightly once. Charcoal glanced at him and swallowed the rest of his words with an effort.

“What did Grimace take you all to do?” Lin Huang raised his brows. He had a vague sense that it was probably something illegal. Otherwise, Grimace would not have purposely interrupted Charcoal.

“Well…” Charcoal failed to respond for a while.

At this point, Grimace finally spoke up from where he was standing off to the side, “I just took them along to collect a few treasures, then exchanged those for money.”

Lin Huang eyed Grimace. He knew that this fellow was certainly lying. If that were really the case, there would have been no need for him to stop Charcoal at all.

At that moment, Lancelot spoke up as well from beside them, “Can you truly elevate us directly to rank-6 this time?”

This fellow was obviously helping to change the subject.

“When did the three of you get so close?” Lin Huang teased, looking at Lancelot and Charcoal.

Both of them looked in other directions immediately. They did not dare meet Lin Huang’s gaze.

“I don’t care how you obtained your resources, but there’s a bottom line you can’t cross.” Lin Huang glanced over the three of them, “You’re not allowed to do things that will do harm or commit atrocities.”

Lin Huang did not extrapolate on the subject after he finished speaking.

He opened the door to his God Territory with a wave of his hand, then gestured at the three of them. “Come with me.”

Lin Huang appeared directly in front of the Great Heaven Palace together with the three imperial monsters.

If one wanted to talk about the safest available place, it would undoubtedly be the Great Heaven Palace.

Therefore, Lin Huang chose to elevate his imperial monsters here.

When Charcoal saw the two guardian beasts at the door, he involuntarily shrank back slightly.

The two three-legged Golden Crows were Combat Souls of archaic descent. Not only were they supreme god-level rank-5, but their combat strength was also peak heavenly god-level.

Charcoal, whose main cultivation path was the fire element, could clearly feel the sense of oppression emanating from the two guardian beasts. He could also sense even more that he was no match for both of them.

However, what he did not know was whether even King Kong and Peerless Overlord would be able to hold the advantage if these two three-legged Golden Crows were to join forces.

Naturally, Lancelot and Grimace also sensed how powerful the two guardian beasts were, but they could not sense it as clearly as Charcoal could.

Both of them could not help warily eyeing the two sculpture-like three-legged Golden Crows.

The two three-legged Golden Crows observed the three of them for a while as well, only withdrawing their gaze when they saw Lin Huang bringing the group over to the steps.

The three imperial monsters followed Lin Huang and arrived at the Great Heaven Palace’s entrance only after going up the steps.

The three became nervous again upon seeing the two palace doors.

The eyes of the two relief-carved Archaic Fire Dragons on the doors slowly began moving round and round, then fixed their gaze on Charcoal and the other two imperial monsters.

The two Archaic Fire Dragons merely gave Lancelot and Grimace a glance, then turned their eyes upon Charcoal to check out this member of their tribe.

They were not scrutinizing Charcoal.

As pure blood Dragon Tribe members, naturally, the two were more curious about this junior who possessed the same bloodline.

Charcoal felt an immense pressure bearing down on him at that moment.

He could clearly sense how powerful the bloodlines of the two Dragon Tribe members were.

He merely gave the relief carvings a glance, then lowered his head and did not dare to look at them again.

Only after Lin Huang pushed open the Great Heaven Palace’s doors and the two Archaic Fire Dragons closed their eyes once more did Charcoal feel that the pressure had lifted. Hurriedly, he caught up with Lin Huang and slipped into the palace.

Grimace and Lancelot also released a sigh of relief almost simultaneously.

Although they had not been singled out by the Archaic Fire Dragons, the pressure from the Dragons’ aura was still tangible.

Lin Huang led the three imperial monsters deep into the palace. He only stopped when he arrived at the dais where the throne was.

“Sit down first, all three of you, and settle your state of mind.”

The three of them sat down immediately with their legs crossed when they heard this and began to regulate their breathing with their eyes closed.

In all honesty, their auras had been affected by their emotions since meeting up with Lin Huang and had been continuously fluctuating. When they saw the three-legged Golden Crows and the Archaic Fire Dragons, especially, it was hard to calm their auras under such immense pressure.

Lin Huang had sensed this, which was why he had asked the three of them to regulate their breathing to calm themselves.

After a moment, sensing that their emotions had gradually stabilized and their auras were no longer fluctuating, Lin Huang contacted Xiao Hei and requested for consolidation of all the rank-5 and rank-6 Advance Cards.

“You don’t have to open your eyes. Just feel the sensation of being elevated, that’s good enough.”

As soon as Lin Huang finished speaking, he targeted the three intended card users and crushed the cards in his hands.

The six cards turned into golden points of light that entered the bodies of the three imperial monsters, respectively.

The golden points of light had barely been in their bodies for a few seconds before cocoons rapidly began forming over their figures at a speed visible to the naked eye.
