Immediately afterwards, everyone turned to look at the monster that had been flicked away. However, after looking at it, they couldn’t help but get a huge shock. Initially, the thing that attacked them could only be considered a half-monster because what hit them turned out to be a long tail that was covered in silvery white scales. There were a few pairs of radiant wings on the spot that was closest to the ground. If it didn’t have any wings, it should be the tail of the Radiant-winged Giant Python that attacked the Gilded Kingdom’s group.
A mere swipe of its tail brought such a big crisis to the team, and even made Ujfalusi severely wounded. The mages of the Tower of Dusk could not help but wonder where the Radiant-winged Giant Python came from, and why it had such terrifying power!
“This monster is not something you can deal with, back off,” Lin Li said with a serious expression as he ordered the mages to leave the battlefield.
After taking a blow for the mages just now, Lin Li gained a certain understanding of the strength of the Radiant-winged Giant Python through the contact he had with it, even though it seemed effortless in the eyes of others. Although the Radiant-winged Giant Python was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, its strength was beyond just the Sanctuary-realm, and it was probably even more powerful than the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction.
Lin Li could tell from the whip of its tail that the power it possessed was not inferior to that of a Sanctuary powerhouse. Hence, it was obvious how terrifying the Radiant-winged Giant Python was. Those mages definitely could not take part in a battle of such a high level. Otherwise, Lin Li would have to spend all his energy on taking care of them like a babysitter.
Under Lin Li’s protection, the team of the Tower of Dusk retreated into the distance. The tail of the Radiant-winged Giant Python, which was exposed on the sand, tried to chase after them twice, but it was blocked by Lin Li.
Looking at the tail that was constantly swaying, Lin Li found it really absurd. He was a Sanctuary powerhouse, and yet he was now going hard against the tail of a magical beast. If word about this were to get out, it would probably make the jaws of a large group of people drop.
However, even though he was facing only the tail of a Radiant-winged Giant Python, Lin Li did not dare to take it lightly. Not only did he directly expand his Domain World, he also incorporated the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars into his Domain World in one go.
At the same time, after Saint Edmund joined the battle that the team of the Gilded Kingdom was engaged in, they quickly retreated from the battlefield like the Tower of Dusk’s team did under the protection of the three Sanctuary powerhouses. However, compared to the team of the Tower of Dusk, the team of the Gilded Kingdom suffered more severe casualties. Apart from the several Legendary powerhouses that had been engulfed by the poisonous light of the Radiant-winged Giant Python at first, more than 10 members were severely injured.
The only ones who remained on the battlefield were Elder Zumar and High Priest Poer. Although they had only fought several rounds with the Radiant-winged Giant Python, they were also disheveled. In particular, High Priest Poer, who was the weakest among the few Sanctuary powerhouses, suffered just as much pressure as the rest.
A short while after the battle began, High Priest Poer’s image was already very different from before. Not only did the luxurious robe that he was wearing turn into rags, High Priest Poer’s scepter had also been broken in half. Yet, no matter how precious the things that had been destroyed were, pride sometimes mattered the most to the high priest of a nation.
High Priest Poer was put in a miserable state by the Radiant-winged Giant Python, and the first thing that came to mind was not how strong he was, but where the people of the Tower of Dusk had gone. In his opinion, if the people of the Tower of Dusk, especially Lin Li, could help to share the pressure, he wouldn’t be in such a terrible state.
By the time High Priest Poer took the time to look over at the team of the Tower of Dusk, he got even more exasperated, so much that his lungs were about to explode. In his eyes, the Tower of Dusk’s mages had long retreated far from the battlefield, while Lin Li was still doing something with the Radiant-winged Giant Python. Poer did not see how powerful the tail of the Radiant-winged Giant Python was, and merely thought that the people of the Tower of Dusk were studying the Python’s tail relaxedly while they were dealing with the Radiant-winged Giant Python with all their might.
Besides, the tail that Lin Li fought hard against for a while not only did not attack Lin Li again, but instead giggled and burrowed back under the yellow sand, as if to confirm High Priest Poer’s conjecture. Its action had further made it seem as if Lin Li had merely stood by the side without providing any help. The resentment within High Priest Poer rose to the maximum, and while it did not erupt immediately, the resentment in his eyes became even more intense.
Lin Li did not pay attention to the changes in High Priest Poer; in fact, High Priest Poer was just a nobody to him. Although Lin Li and High Priest Poer were both at the Sanctuary-realm, the difference between them was huge. It was just like the gap between an adult and a child.
Seeing that the Radiant-winged Giant Python’s tail had slipped away, Lin Li didn’t stay any longer, and instead arrived at the battlefield where the Gilded Kingdom’s team was in a flash. Lin Li knew very well that the Radiant-winged Giant Python was by no means something he could deal with alone, so he naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to wait for the Gilded Kingdom’s combat power to be depleted.
When Lin Li came close to the Radiant-winged Giant Python, he pointed the Helios’ Scepter forward, and hundreds of Light and Darkness Swords emerged from the void before darting towards the head of the Radiant-winged Giant Python like arrows. Each Light and Darkness Sword was as powerful as the full force of an ordinary Sanctuary powerhouse. If hundreds of Light and Darkness Swords landed on a certain city, they would definitely wipe it out in its entirety.
When the hundreds of Light and Darkness Swords appeared, Edmund and others were the first to be startled. Although Edmund had seen how powerful Lin Li was, the terrifying attack was beyond his expectations. More importantly, from this point on, Edmund no longer dared to casually make judgments or assumptions about Lin Li’s strength. God knew if Lin Li had exhibited his full strength.
Hundreds of Light and Darkness Swords shot towards the head of the Radiant-winged Giant Python in an instant, and all of a sudden, a loud roar filled the entire battlefield. The area that the Light and Darkness Sword exploded became distorted, and the dazzling rays of light emitted, as well as the darkness, completely shrouded the large head of the Radiant-winged Giant Python.
However, just when the crowd thought that the bombardment could at least injure the Radiant-winged Giant Python even if it could not kill it, the power of Light and Darkness that were entangled suddenly formed a vortex which gradually shrunk. First, the horns of the giant python were revealed, followed by half of its head. Finally, both the light and dark disappeared into the huge mouth of the Radiant-winged Giant Python. The terrifying power of hundreds of Light and Darkness Swords was actually devoured by the Radiant-winged Giant Python!
“What kind of monster is this? Why have we never heard of it before!” Elder Zumar looked at the Radiant-winged Giant Python with bewilderment. He wanted to find some traces of wounds on the Radiant-winged Giant Python, only to be disappointed.
The terrifying power of the hundreds of Light and Darkness Swords actually failed to even remove a single scale of the Radiant-winged Giant Python. If it weren’t for the powerful fluctuations emanating from those Light and Darkness Swords, Edmund and the others would have probably thought that Lin Li had just been putting on an act.
When Lin Li saw this result, he was also a little dumbfounded. He was well aware of how powerful his attacks were. Although the Light and Darkness Sword was not his strongest means of attack, the power of hundreds of Light and Darkness Swords was not inferior to the World Sword’s.
Just as the crowd was in a daze, the Radiant-winged Giant Python tilted its head and hissed, after which the hundreds of pairs of radiant wings on its back flapped. Its body then flew towards the sky. The lower half that was still buried in the yellow sand also emerged, and its full body appeared in front of Lin Li and Edmund.
At this juncture, they finally knew that the Radiant-winged Giant Python’s body was actually hundreds of meters long. After it spread its wings fully, it looked like a centipede that had replaced its feet with wings. The wings were so densely packed that it was hair-raising.
After the Radiant-winged Giant Python flew into the air, the light in the entire space seemed to be converging on it quickly, forming a beautiful ribbon of light in the sky. At the same time, the Radiant-winged Giant Python emitted a dazzling light, making it seem as if a peculiar sun had appeared in the sky.
Along with the phenomena, a faint but powerful might that was strong enough to make one’s soul tremble also gradually enveloped this space. With the emergence of this divine might, several Sanctuary powerhouses unanimously felt that the mana in their body was going out of control. They began to be so frightened that they dared not reveal their heads, like mice in front of cats.
That was the difference between Sanctuary powerhouses and gods. Regardless of how terrifying the power of the Sanctuary powerhouses was, they couldn’t resist the suppression of the faint wisp of divine might. A single wisp of it was enough to greatly affect the power of those several Sanctuary powerhouses, and at least nearly half of their strength could not be exerted. Sensing the changes, the Sanctuary powerhouses below also panicked. If the Radiant-winged Giant Python continued, there would be no need for the battle to go on.
Saint Edmund of the Illuminati waved his Chaos Scepter, and took the lead in attacking the Radiant-winged Giant Python that was in midair. As the Chaos Scepter emitted powerful rays of light, the entire space shook violently, and dozens of huge dull gray vortexes emerged in the sky. Immediately afterwards, thick tentacles that were larger in girth than the Radiant-winged Giant Python emerged from the vortexes before darting towards the Radiant-winged Giant Python that was in the middle of the vortex.
The tentacles in the sky not only had a terrifying strength sufficient to crush mountains, but they also came with chaos willpower. They were known as the Tentacles of Chaos. Those that were affected by the chaos willpower would lose themselves in the chaos, or become targets of slaughter. They might even go mad and die.
Elder Zumar and High Priest Poer followed closely behind, and they released their mana almost all at once. They cast the magic spells that they were best at, and the seawater that gushed out of the void flooded the desert in the blink of an eye, causing several waves to rise and charge towards the Radiant-winged Giant Python.
At this moment, a giant sword that was about the same size as the Radiant-winged Giant Python also charged towards the Radiant-winged Giant Python’s vitals with a loud, thunderous roar. The giant sword, which seemed to be able to open up the sky and the earth, was the World Sword that Lin Li had formed using his World Sword. It was more than 10 million times stronger than the Light and Darkness Sword.
As soon as the World Sword was cast, it immediately made everyone’s attacks seem dull and lackluster, especially with the majestic power of the power of the world. In fact, it was not even inferior to the divine might emanating from the Radiant-winged Giant Python. In everyone’s eyes, it was as if the entire space had been emptied out, leaving behind only the World Sword. It was as if this space was going to be cut in half by this World Sword in one stroke.
Seeing Lin Li raise his hand to release such a terrifying attack, Edmund was really surprised and overjoyed. He was even more grateful for his decision previously. He was almost certain that if he had really fought with the Tower of Dusk, he would have had to pay a high price for victory, and he would not have had to consider this mission at all.
However, Edmund also knew very well in his heart that the strength of the Radiant-winged Giant Python had already surpassed the level of the Sanctuary-realm. Unless a Sanctuary powerhouse was there, there would still be no way for him to avoid the tough battle. Hence, even if Lin Li cast a powerful magic spell like the World Sword, Edmund probably could not relax.
The four Sanctuary powerhouses attacked with all their might, and the Radiant-winged Giant Python was obviously a little enraged. Although the latter had a huge body, its movements seemed extremely agile and fluid, without any clumsiness. In the face of the Tentacles of Chaos that Edmund whipped up, its figure instantly turned into a white lightning bolt, and shuttled through the large net formed by the hundreds of Tentacles of Chaos. The hundreds of pairs of radiant wings on its back seemed to be the sharpest swords in the world, and could cut the tentacles without any issues.
The Tentacles of Chaos that Edmund summoned were not real tentacles, but tentacles that were condensed using the power of Chaos, which could not be broken even by the full-force attacks of ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses. However, in the face of the Radiant-winged Giant Python, the Tentacles of Chaos were as fragile as noodles, which was a great shock to the people who were watching.
After dealing with Edmund’s Tentacles of Chaos, the Radiant-winged Giant Python flapped its wings twice, and countless rays of white light emerged from the sky in an instant, surging into the gigantic waves that Zumar and Poer had jointly cast. Each time the light landed, it would cut off a large portion of the giant waves and seawater like an eraser. In the blink of an eye, their attacks seemed to vanish without a trace.
