It was a battle on another level, where the strength of the two parties had become secondary. The most important thing was the experience of the two parties. Although such a battle did not seem to have any shocking momentum, it was no less thrilling than a head-on collision.
Osric's experience was needless to say. During the Dark Age, he had killed countless peerless powerhouses in Anril, and the experience he had accumulated was definitely not something that ordinary people could compare to.
However, Lin Li was not bad, either. Although he had only been in this world for a few years, and had not experienced many real battles, he had other ways to gain experience.
The dragon crystal of the Dragon of Destruction, Azardas, contained the lifetime battle experience of the Dragon of Destruction. There was also the magical crystal of the Tyrant Balak, a top powerhouse in the Endless Abyss, which also contained the lifetime experience of the ancient deity. More importantly, Lin Li had obtained the control crystal of the Sky Castle. Although he did not know the origin of the magical crystal, he had obtained a massive amount of knowledge and experience from it.
With such a rich accumulation, Lin Li would not be too far behind Osric in terms of experience, although he might not be stronger than Osric.
What really gave Lin Li a headache was the characteristic of Osric's immortal soul, which made it impossible for him to do anything about it. If Lin Li's strength was far greater than Osric's, he could seal Osric's soul. However, the problem now was that the stronger party was Osric, and it was not easy for Lin Li to resist Osric's attack. How could he have the extra strength to seal Osric's soul?
"Die, so what if you have those things? I want him to know that his choice was wrong!" Osric's anger was obviously not only directed at Lin Li, but also at the Immortal King's unfairness. With a roar, an even more powerful force erupted.
With this terrifying force, Osric barged straight into Lin Li's Domain World with only one goal, and that was to kill Lin Li in the Domain World. He did not care about the control crystal at all. Those who dared to look down on him had to die.
Under Osric's oppression, Lin Li's Domain World was already on the verge of collapse. At this moment, the entire Domain World seemed to be collapsing, and a huge wound was torn in the sky. The ground was also shaking, and a large area was collapsing continuously.
Faced with such a sudden change, Lin Li did not panic at all. He suddenly raised his hand and released an emerald green seed. It was the seed of the Tree of Eternity that he had obtained from the Undead World. As the tree seed integrated into the space of the Domain World, a spot of green suddenly appeared on the ground in the center of the Domain World. Immediately afterwards, it began to grow rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, a towering tree stood at the center of the world. Its roots covered the entire land, and its crown held up most of the sky. The towering tree was the legendary Tree of Eternity. However, in Lin Li's Domain World, the Tree of Eternity was just a virtual image created by using the power of the Seed of Eternity.
However, the power of the Tree of Eternity was immense. Even though it was only a small part of the power that the seed had exerted, it was enough to support the stability of Lin Li's Domain World. With the appearance of the Tree of Eternity, the huge wound in the sky and land of the Domain World was instantly healed, and the entire Domain World immediately became extremely stable.
Under the scouring of the power of the Tree of Eternity, the mana that Osric had invaded Lin Li's Domain World was instantly erased from its spiritual imprint, and integrated into the Domain World to become the power of this world.
Seeing the changes in Lin Li's Domain World, Osric was infuriated because he knew that he had once again fallen into Lin Li's trap. Under the protection of the power of the Tree of Eternity, Lin Li's Domain World almost became a real world, just like the Domain World created by the Immortal King. To Osric, who had barged into it, it was equivalent to becoming a huge and solid cage.
However, at this moment, Osric did not panic even though he was furious. After all, with his realm and strength, it was not difficult for him to break the Domain World protected by the power of the Tree of Eternity. Of course, the simplest way was to kill the creator of the Domain World. As long as the creator died, the world would immediately disappear.
Hence, while Lin Li's Domain World was changing, Osric did not stop at all, and continued flying straight towards Lin Li.
However, just as Osric was about to rush towards Lin Li, he did not see any panic on Lin Li's face at all. Instead, he saw a damned mocking smile.
Before Osric could react and figure out the meaning behind Lin Li's smile, a huge black hole suddenly appeared in the Domain World. The black hole appeared right in front of Osric, and a strong and irresistible force of attraction emerged from it, pulling Osric, who was already charging forward, towards it.
"Abyssal Passageway!" Osric sensed a familiar aura from the black hole, which came from the depths of the Endless Abyss. He immediately stopped, and retreated with all his might. Although Osric had swept through the Endless Abyss countless times during the Dark Age, he was now just a spiritual existence, and it was difficult for him to resist the restraining force of the Endless Abyss. Once he was sucked in, it would not be easy for him to come out again.
The black hole that led to the Endless Abyss was created by Lin Li by using the power of the Tree of Eternity to influence the World Laws. That was also the only way he could think of to temporarily deal with Osric. Immortal souls were the most annoying, and if Osric's soul was banished to the Endless Abyss, he would probably not be able to escape without 800 to 1,000 years.
Lin Li had painstakingly set up such a trap, so how could he let Osric escape so easily? Under his control, the black hole instantly became larger, and swallowed Osric who was continuously retreating like the mouth of a monster.
"I won't let you off!"
With an indignant roar, the huge black hole disappeared along with Osric's figure. Although he could not directly destroy Osric, Lin Li believed that Osric would not be able to pose a threat to him even if he regained his body and left the Endless Abyss after a few hundred years.
Finally, everything returned to peace, and the seven pieces of the debris of the stars and the Seed of Eternity left the Domain World. Lin Li put them away and returned to the ground. On the other hand, Archbishop Martin and the others collapsed to the ground one by one. Having survived another calamity, they seemed to be in a daze.
Lin Li did not bother about them, and instead walked straight to the control panel in the center, where Osric had already collapsed completely. The Divine King's battle robe was spread on the ground, and some black ashes could be vaguely seen under the battle robe. On the control panel, the strange magical crystal was shining in the groove, and emitting a strong mana wave at the same time. Clearly, it had devoured a lot of mana from Osric.
However, the function of this magical crystal was to cause the mana in Osric's body to go berserk, and the actual mana that it devoured was actually just a drop in the ocean. If the magical crystal could really devour all the mana in Osric's body, it would probably not be much worse than the control crystal.
Lin Li reached out without hesitation, and removed the magical crystal from the groove of the control panel. The magical crystal that made Osric suffer just now seemed to be extraordinarily calm in his hand. After putting away the magical crystal, Lin Li finally took out the real control crystal, and slowly placed it into the groove of the control panel.
This time, no one came out to disturb him, and Lin Li successfully placed the control crystal into the groove of the control panel. All of a sudden, countless complicated golden mageweaths appeared on the entire control panel, and they led straight to the groove at the top of the control panel. The control crystal in the groove also emitted a dazzling ray of light that was as bright as the sun under the stimulation of some kind of power.
With the change in the control crystal, Lin Li's mental strength that was attached to the control crystal was immediately magnified infinitely, enveloping and seeping into every corner of the Sky Castle. Lin Li could clearly feel that he had now become the master of the Sky Castle, and all the secrets of the Sky Castle appeared clearly in his mind.
However, Lin Li could also feel that there seemed to be a certain gap between his current power and that he could fully control the Sky Castle. He could only perform some basic control. It was like a child playing with a big sword. Being able to pick it up was one thing, but if he wanted to wield it beautifully, he would need to have corresponding strength.
Lin Li secretly estimated that he would probably only be able to control the Sky Castle when his strength reached Osric's level. Now, although he was already the true owner of the Sky Castle, he still could not truly exert the full power of the Sky Castle.
Although it was a little regretful, Lin Li did not take it to heart. After all, the Sky Castle truly belonged to him, and it was only a matter of time before he could fully control it. Besides, Lin Li was confident that with the speed at which he was improving his strength, it definitely wouldn't take too long.
If it were anyone else, it would take them hundreds or thousands of years to advance from level-26 to level-28. However, Lin Li was different. It had only taken him a few years to advance from a mage apprentice to the Sanctuary-realm. The level gap that was like a natural chasm in the eyes of others was not a problem for him at all.
Lin Li slightly familiarized himself with the operations that he could use at this stage, and then issued an order to clean up the Sky Castle. Previously, he had destroyed the 36 Double-Realm Psychic Towers, causing the Sky Castle to be in a mess. Now that the Sky Castle belonged to him, Lin Li naturally had to clean it up first.
With Lin Li's order, the four underground warehouses in the four directions of the Sky Castle outside the Central Tower slowly opened their heavy doors. Next, batches of alchemy puppets walked out of the underground warehouses neatly, and began to clean up the Sky Castle.
Each of those alchemy puppets could be sold for a sky-high price in Anril, but they were only doing cleaning work here. If Archbishop Martin and the others were to see them, they would probably die of jealousy.
"Master Felic, congratulations on finally controlling the Sky Castle," Archbishop Martin said as he walked forward to congratulate Lin Li sincerely.
Through Osric's appearance just now, coupled with the shocking changes in the magical crystal that Lin Li had taken out again, Archbishop Martin could roughly guess what was going on even if he knew nothing about it previously. After congratulating Lin Li, Archbishop Martin secretly sighed in his heart. He had never thought that Lin Li's exploration of the Sky Castle would be so shocking.
At the thought that the Immortal King's Sky Castle, along with the treasures in it, now belonged to Lin Li alone. Even though Archbishop Martin had a good relationship with Lin Li, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous at this moment. If the Brilliance Shrine had such a Sky Castle …
"Congratulations, Master Felic, for obtaining the Immortal King's Sky Castle. In the future, the Tower of Dusk will definitely have a status in Anril that no one else can reach." At this point, Donald had no choice but to be generous with his compliments. He just hoped that Lin Li would not burn the bridge after crossing it.
Deep down, Donald was of course extremely jealous. That was the Immortal King's Sky Castle, the most powerful magical weapon that the High Elves used to rule Anril. If the Rotterdam Kingdom could obtain such a Sky Castle, it would probably not be a problem for them to unify the entire Anril.
However, Donald was well aware that he could not reveal a trace of jealousy, because the relationship between the Rotterdam Kingdom and the Tower of Dusk was not good. If he was not careful, he might be destroyed by the other party. A Sanctuary powerhouse who controlled a Sky Castle was not someone that anyone could contend with.
"Okay, I've already achieved the purpose of this exploration. Everyone, are you preparing to return to Anril next, or do you have any other plans?" Lin Li's words were clearly an order for them to leave. After all, the Brilliance Shrine and the Rotterdam Kingdom had already found what they were looking for previously. Now that the entire Sky Castle had become Lin Li's, no matter what else there was in the Sky Castle, it would all belong to him. Hence, he definitely could not let the people of the Brilliance Shrine and the Rotterdam Kingdom continue to explore.
Archbishop Martin and Donald were both old and wise. Even without Lin Li's reminder, they knew that they could not expect to get anything else from the Sky Castle. At this moment, they finally remembered why the Tower of Dusk had been so generous in the distribution of benefits when they were discussing the cooperation. Yes, the entire Sky Castle belonged to them. Why would they have to discuss with others about splitting their own things?
