However, when it came to his turn, Elder Zumar couldn’t help but be overwhelmed with anger. After all, if he couldn’t seal the existence under Cage Island, losing his life would be a major matter compared to the destruction of the Breezy Plains.
However, at this moment, after Lin Li repaired his Domain World, a strange sight appeared in it. There seemed to be something trapped in his Domain World like a bug in a glass bottle, charging everywhere in a seemingly unobstructed space.
If one looked closely, they would be able to vaguely see a wyrm’s shadow. Indeed, the shadow was Lin Li’s current enemy, Antora, which was known as the Death Shadow.
Unable to break Lin Li’s Domain World, the Death Shadow Antora finally couldn’t hold back any longer, and it simply sneaked into Lin Li’s Domain World through the gap in a bid to give Lin Li a hard time in this Domain World.
Unfortunately, just as Antora sneaked into Lin Li’s Domain World, Lin Li integrated the seven pieces of the debris of the stars with the Domain World, instantly maximizing the nomological power of the Domain World. At the same time, the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars immediately cordoned off the space that Antora was in.
That was not coincidental at all. In fact, it had all been part of Lin Li’s plan right from the beginning. Lin Li’s intention had been to lure Antora’s true body into his own Domain World. Since Lin Li and Antora were about the same level, it was not an easy task to break Antora’s world of darkness. Hence, the best thing to do was to let Antora come out on his own, and create an environment which restricted darkness.
Nothing would be more suitable than a Domain World of another Sanctuary powerhouse when it came to restricting the Domain World of a Sanctuary powerhouse. Lin Li first used the World Sword to show Antora that they were evenly matched in strength, and it was considered a type of challenge, or rather provocation, at the same time. Under the siege of the black giants, he pretended to be struggling to sustain the attacks, but he often managed to pull through, which angered Antora even more.
After all, Antora had already lost himself now, and was just a ghost that was acting according to his instincts without much consideration at all. He saw that the opponent who provoked him pulled through time and time again despite being on the verge of collapsing and simply lacking the last straw. Driven by anger, he dived into Lin Li’s Domain World through the crack in a bid to annihilate his enemy as soon as possible.
However, how could Antora have expected that Lin Li still possessed seven powerful pieces of the debris of the stars which were completely capable of bringing his Domain World to a higher level? Hence, Antora was captured by Lin Li with the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars right after it invaded the Domain World.
After capturing Antora, Lin Li raised the Helios’ Scepter and chanted a quick incantation under his breath. As he did so, his Domain World also began to change rapidly. Everything in the Domain World began to emit a sacred light that caused the entire Domain World to become a world filled with holy aura.
If Pope Rosario of the Brilliance Shrine had been there, he would have recognized Lin Li’s Domain World at this juncture to be the Holy Haven, which was the highest realm of Holy Light Magic. In the entire Brilliance Shrine, only the Pope who was known as the spokesman of Holy Light could create the Holy Haven.
It was a world full of light that was not too glaring but emitted a pure holy aura. Everything in the world was bathed in the light that made it seem incredibly sacred. Anyone would quickly develop a faith in Holy Light, and become a true believer of Light once they were in this world.
Of course, Antora wouldn’t have the opportunity to become a Believer of Light, because it possessed a world of darkness, and was also a ghost that had the identity of an Undead creature. The Holy Haven was not heaven but hell for him. It was a place where all filth and evilness could be purified by Holy Light, and his only fate would be to completely disappear from this world.
Antora roared and struggled, but was never able to escape from Lin Li’s Holy Haven. The powerful purification power kept baptizing his body and disintegrating the rules of Undead and Darkness in his body. Antora’s body was now burning with Holy Heavenly Flames, and its huge body was also rapidly shrinking while the world of darkness burned up as soon as it appeared.
Is he from the Brilliance Shrine!? Elder Zumar was once again dumbfounded as the battle in the sky was just too unexpected. He could never believe that the president of the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic would actually cast the Holy Haven, which only the Pope of Brilliance Shrine could cast.
With the help of the debris of the stars, Holy Light, the Holy Haven that Lin Li cast was probably not much inferior to that of Pope Rosario. Under such strong purification, Antora was soon burned down to nothing by the Heavenly Purification Flames.
After getting rid of Antora, the battle on Cage Island became one-sided as the remaining wyrm ghosts could not cause any problems for Lin Li. It only took a short time for the wyrm ghosts to be wiped out completely. Elder Zumar and the others were the only ones left now. As long as they could reinforce the seal, the matter would come to an end.
In order to let the people of the Gilded Kingdom complete their task successfully, Lin Li didn’t slack off at the side. Instead, he got Elvis and the others to help suppress the force from below Cage Island.
Perhaps because of the release of Antora and the numerous wyrm ghosts that consumed too much power, or because of the effect of Lin Li’s suppression, the existence that was sealed under Cage Island seemed to have also resigned to fate as they quieted down.
Under such circumstances, the environment of Cage Island was no longer as frightening as before. The mages of the Gilded Kingdom took advantage of this rare opportunity, and sped up the repair of the Alchemy Array. It took them only a few minutes to reactivate the entire Alchemy Array.
Looking at the light emanating from the Alchemy Array, Zumar finally let out a long sigh of relief. Although he knew that Cantory had to have promised Lin Li and the others handsome benefits when requesting for their help, all the effort would be worth it as long as this task could be successfully completed.
However, just when everyone thought that everything was alright, Lin Li, who had been staying in mid-air, had a somewhat strange expression on his face. Although Lin Li couldn’t pinpoint exactly the reason for that feeling, he just felt that something was amiss.
Lin Li would never ignore his premonitions, because that gut feel was what allowed him to get out of danger time and time again during all his close shaves with death. At the thought of this, he carefully observed Cage Island before fixing his gaze on the Alchemy Array arranged by the Gilded Kingdom. He originally did not feel anything, but the more he looked at it, the more strange it seemed to him.
All of a sudden, Lin Li’s eyes lit up as if he understood something, and he immediately yelled, “Hurry up, stop your Alchemy Array!”
Lin Li’s words made the people of the Gilded Kingdom a bit baffled, and even Elvis and the others couldn’t understand what was going on. Elder Zumar thought that Lin Li had guessed the purpose of his trip, and couldn’t help but frown slightly as he looked up, and said to Lin Li who was in midair, “President Felic, thank you very much for your assistance this time, but please leave it to us to handle the aftermath.”
“Damn it, stop the array, hurry up. You can’t reinforce the seal like that!” Lin Li yelled in infuriation. The thing sealed beneath Cage Island was already horrifying enough when it revealed some of its power. There would be huge trouble if it really escaped.
However, at this juncture, the entire Cage Island suddenly began to shake violently again. It even seemed to be more vigorous than before, as if the island was about to be overturned. This time, Elder Zumar finally panicked, and yelled to his subordinate mages, “Did you guys do something wrong!?”
However, before the mages could answer, Cage Island was split up in the middle, and the surrounding seawater immediately poured into the crack. The mages who originally stood in various positions in the Alchemy Array were immediately moved everywhere, and some unlucky mages even fell directly into the huge crack.
While everyone on the island was in chaos, a huge black figure flew out of the crack, and an extremely terrifying aura immediately enveloped the entire sea.
Staring at the huge black figure flying out of the crack, Lin Li’s pupils constricted, and he saw a black wyrm, or rather a black dragon’s corpse—he could see the internal organs of the wyrm from the hole in its chest.
At this moment, Lin Li also finally confirmed the suspicion in his heart. The aura that seemed familiar to him was from the black dragon corpse in front of him. The aura felt familiar because the black dragon was Azardas, the Dragon of Destruction which he had shot and killed in the Endless World!
How could the corpse of Azardas the Dragon of Destruction appear here!? That was the first question that came to Lin Li’s mind because he had found out from Nefa, a descendant of the Dragon of Destruction, and Rogge, a high priest of the Darkness Shrine, that Azardas seemed to have been buried under the Blackstone Mountains after being killed by the Immortal King, and was guarded by another descendant Tutankhamun.
What is going on? Since the corpse of Azardas the Dragon of Destruction is here, what is Tutankhamun guarding? Lin Li felt that there seemed to be no need for Nefa to lie to him. If he had known that the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction was there, he would have gone there long ago to dig the corpse out.
However, the dragon corpse in front of him was not quite the same as the one in his memory. There did not seem to be a trace of destruction or evilness on the body, and all he could sense was a massive magical wave that was at least at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm.
A corpse alone could possess power that was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. What level would it be when it was alive, then? When Lin Li first killed the Dragon of Destruction in the Endless World, he didn’t have a clear feeling of it. After all, the Endless World was just a game. However, legend had it that Azardas, the Dragon of Destruction who was also one of the five Dragon Aspects, possessed strength that was at the level of the gods. In that case, Azardas’ strength had to have been beyond the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and was close to the gods. Perhaps he might even be an existence with a god’s position.
In fact, Lin Li did feel a wisp of aura that did not seem to belong to the peak of the Sanctuary-realm from the corpse of the dragon, as it was rather majestic, and gave off a might that would have no tolerance for blasphemy. Although it was extremely subtle, it would still affect one’s soul. Of course, the influence was not great. Otherwise, the people present, including Lin Li and Elder Zumar who were high-level Sanctuary powerhouses, would have to immediately run as far as possible.
Since it was the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction that was sealed there, Cantory obviously didn’t tell the truth when he’d said that his ancestors had found the map in the ruins of the Titans. That was obviously made up according to the original legend of the Breezy Plains. The most important thing now was to deal with the corpse of the dragon. There would be plenty of chances for him to settle scores with the Gilded Kingdom.
Lin Li had a good understanding and experience of the strength and power of the Dragon of Destruction. Not to mention the legends that he had heard in Anril, he had paid a huge price to kill the Dragon of Destruction in the Endless World. At that time, he had had the seven pieces of the debris of the stars and the Stars of Fury. However, he’d only managed to painstakingly kill the Dragon of Destruction by exerting the full power of the debris of the stars with the help of the Stars of Fury.
However, Lin Li now had seven pieces of the debris of the stars, but he still didn’t know where the Stars of Fury was. Fortunately, it was also a dragon corpse, and although it was still incredibly strong, there was still a huge difference between the corpse and when it was alive.
Besides, Lin Li also noticed that the huge wound on the chest of this dragon corpse was where the magical crystal should be. However, the wound could now be seen clearly, but there was no longer a trace of the magical crystal. There was only flesh, blood, and some of its bones. Without the magical crystal, its strength would be greatly reduced. Hence, the dragon corpse only had power that was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm.
