After making the necessary preparations, Lin Li brought his three subordinates, Archbishop Martin, and Donald back into the Sky Castle. They followed the route they had chosen and walked towards the bottom of the Sky Castle.
There were no doors leading to the outside of the Sky Castle. After all, the Nether Storm was wreaking havoc on the outside. If the Nether Storm was the only thing blocking it, the Sky Castle would have been destroyed long ago. Furthermore, if there was a door down there, the enemies could also sneak into the Sky Castle from there when they were not in the Endless Void.
However, it did not matter if there was no door. As the current owner of the Sky Castle, Lin Li was very clear about every corner of the Sky Castle, except for the place where his mental strength was blocked. The place they came to was a room at the bottom of the Sky Castle. This room was actually used to store magical weapons similar to Magical Crystal Cannons. Hence, there was a launching port for magical weapons inside. Although it was only a launching port for magical weapons, it was not a problem for a person to pass through.
As the most powerful battle fortress in the sky, there were many launching ports for magical weapons like the one below the Sky Castle. The room that Lin Li brought them to was a Dragon Cannon. It was a magical weapon that was a combination of alchemy and mageweaths. It could shoot Dragon Flame Bombs out of the room. Compared to the Magical Crystal Cannons that used compressed mana to attack, the Dragon Cannon used mana from the source of mana. It could be combined with mageweaths and Alchemy Arrays to attack, and thus possessed greater magical lethality.
In this era, the craftsmanship of a complicated magical weapon like the Dragon Cannon had long been lost. It could only be seen occasionally in myths and legends. Hence, when they saw the Dragon Cannon in the room, Archbishop Martin and Donald, who were already numb from the previous tour, could not help but drool with envy.
After the Sky Castle entered the Endless Void, the launching port for magical weapons would automatically release a barrier that was similar to a canopy. It was like installing glass on a window to prevent the Nether Storm from eroding the Sky Castle. As the owner of the Sky Castle, Lin Li naturally had a way to temporarily open the barrier so that he and the rest could go outside.
Arriving in front of the magical weapon launch port, Lin Li looked through the barrier, and carefully observed the situation outside. A Nether Storm swept past in front of him, and the sturdy barrier immediately shook violently. Seeing this scene, even Lin Li himself could not help but shudder in fear, let alone Archbishop Martin and the others. Although he had not experienced it for himself, he knew that the power was definitely not something he could contend with.
The place that Lin Li had chosen was already very close to the bottom of the Sky Castle, and it would only take a few seconds for them to fly directly to their destination. However, due to the fact that his mental strength was blocked, Lin Li could not get a deeper understanding of the destination. Hence, he had to be prepared to retreat at any time.
After all, Lin Li could not be sure that he would be able to enter immediately after arriving at his destination. If there was a problem that could not be solved in a short period of time, it would undoubtedly be very dangerous to stay in the endless void.
Lin Li originally wanted to observe and find some patterns in the appearance of the Nether Storm, such as the interval or direction of movement. However, in the endless void, the Nether Storm was like an unrestrained child. It might not appear for a few minutes, or it might appear several times in a row within a few seconds. There was no pattern to it at all.
Although he had made up his mind to go out and head to the bottom of the Sky Castle from here, and indeed only needed to stay in the endless void for a short period of time, Lin Li could not help but feel a little nervous when he saw the irregular Nether Storms sweeping past the outside continuously.
Archbishop Martin and Donald knew very well what they were capable of. They could take risks, but no one would be willing to risk their lives if it was obvious that they were going to die. However, they could not go back on their words now because they had said that they would accompany Lin Li.
Hence, seeing that Lin Li seemed to be hesitating, Archbishop Martin and Donald secretly rejoiced. Of course, it was not appropriate for them to directly say that they would retreat, and they simply used the excuse of coming up with ideas to persuade Lin Li to temporarily give up on the exploration.
However, Lin Li acted as if he did not hear the words of Archbishop Martin and Donald, and simply stared outside the launch port. Of course, he knew that there would be danger if he went out, and he did not like to risk his life. However, if he allowed an unknown threat to exist in the Sky Castle, it would probably be a greater danger to himself and the Tower of Dusk.
Seeing that Lin Li did not respond for a long time, Archbishop Martin and Donald had no choice but to smile awkwardly, and stop talking about the ideas that they thought were smart. They stood at the side and waited for Lin Li to make the final decision.
Lin Li did not make them wait for too long, either. He finally turned around, and said to the crowd, "Please take a step back."
"Okay, okay!" Archbishop Martin and Donald were overjoyed at first, and they turned around to take a few steps. Just as they were about to reach the door of the room, they saw that Connoris and the others had suddenly stopped. Only then did they suddenly realize that Lin Li did not mean to retreat, but to retreat. Could it be that he really had to make this trip? Although the two of them were very unwilling, they had no choice but to stop awkwardly.
Lin Li did not care about Archbishop Martin and Donald's behavior. In fact, even if they wanted to leave, it would not be a big deal to him. After all, the combat power of two people who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm was very limited. He went straight to the front of the Dragon Cannon, and pushed the Dragon Cannon to the launch port along the tracks laid on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Archbishop Martin and Donald were a little confused. Although the Dragon Cannon was said to be extremely powerful in the legends, and was said to be able to collapse a mountain with one shot, what was the use of it in the endless void?
Lin Li pushed the Dragon Cannon to the launch port, and then threw out seven pieces of the debris of the stars to form a sturdy Domain World that covered the whole room. Then, he used his mental strength to communicate with the control crystal, and ordered to open the barrier of the launch port.
Although the endless void was called the void, it was not really empty. Apart from the powerful Nether Storm, the void was also filled with all kinds of violent energy particles, which were extremely harmful to people and buildings. The outer layer of the Sky Castle was made of the extremely rare Spacetime Sand, which could resist the erosion of the violent particles. However, even the Immortal King did not have the luxury to use the Spacetime Sand inside.
Moreover, the erosion of the violent particles in the void was only a small part of the building. These fellows seemed to be born to choose leaders. Once they entered the environment of the Sky Castle, they would cause the internal magical elements to go berserk, and the entire Sky Castle would become a barrel of gunpowder.
Lin Li had already treated the Sky Castle as his own, and did not dare to make any mistakes in this aspect, lest he ended up in a terrible situation. That was why he was so careful. As long as there was no Nether Storm, the Domain World built by the debris of the stars would be able to resist the erosion of the violent particles.
After displaying the Domain World and opening the barrier of the launch port, Lin Li took out a Legendary magical crystal from the Ring of Endless Storm, and placed it at the mana source of the Dragon Cannon. Although Lin Li had never used the Dragon Cannon before, he could easily find the way to activate it with his Guru-level attainments in Alchemy.
Lin Li fiddled with the Dragon Cannon for a while, and the Legendary magical crystal that was the mana source was quickly enveloped by a ball of light. Then, the shining mana spread rapidly along the path of the Alchemy Array and mageweath. In the blink of an eye, the entire Dragon Cannon was lit up.
The Exploding Dragon Flame Cannon, which had been sitting in the room for thousands of years, finally revealed its ferocious appearance. The Alchemy Array and mageweath that were glowing with mana were like the most perfect artwork in the world, and they gave the Dragon Cannon an ancient and mysterious aura.
Then, with a loud roar, a fireball as bright as the sun shot out from the muzzle of the Explosive Dragon Flame Cannon. The fireball passed through the launch port of the room and into the endless void. After the small sun flew a distance away from the Sky Castle, it suddenly expanded, and silently filled everyone's field of vision. Although there was no roar of an explosion, the people in the room could faintly feel that the Sky Castle seemed to have shaken slightly under the impact of the explosion.
Could it be that this young Sanctuary powerhouse only wanted to see the power of the Dragon Cannon? That's too much of a waste! Seeing Lin Li use the Dragon Cannon, Archbishop Martin could not help but feel his heart ache.
The power of the Dragon Cannon was strong, but the effort was always proportional to the gain. Hence, the mana consumed was definitely shocking. If the Dragon Cannon was not powered by a Legendary magical crystal, it would not be able to operate. The shot used up one-tenth of the mana of the Legendary magical crystal, which was equivalent to destroying the Legendary magical crystal. This directly caused the Legendary magical crystal to fall below the Legendary level.
Although the teams from the Brilliance Shrine and the Rotterdam Kingdom had gained quite a lot from the exploration this time, Legendary magical crystals were still very precious and rare to them. Seeing Lin Li waste a Legendary magical crystal just like that, Archbishop Martin and Donald could not help but want to scold Lin Li for his wasteful behavior.
However, Lin Li did not care about the loss of the Legendary magical crystal at all. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the fireball that was shot out, and he did not look away even when the fireball exploded.
"Did … Did it miss?"
Although Archbishop Martin was pained by Lin Li's wasteful behavior, he knew that Lin Li did not just want to test the power of the Dragon Cannon. Hence, seeing Lin Li's eyes fixed on the outside, he could not help but take a few steps forward out of curiosity, and look at the endless void outside.
However, Archbishop Martin was greatly shocked by what he saw. It turned out that the Bursting Fireball that had exploded in the void seemed to have become a magnet at this moment, causing the Nether Storms that emerged in the surrounding void to deviate from their original trajectories to varying degrees.
However, the fireball was not a sustained spell, after all, and the power of the explosion did not last too long. Coupled with the devouring of the Nether Storms, the huge fireball that was like a small sun quickly dissipated into thin air. As for the Void Storms, they continued to fluctuate in the endless void according to the trajectories that had already deviated from their original trajectories.
In fact, this was the characteristic of the Nether Storms that chased after foreign energy. Why was it said that even Sanctuary powerhouses would be in great danger in the Endless Void? It was because the Nether Storms could not be avoided even if one wanted to. No matter how fast a Sanctuary powerhouse was or how agile he was, he would definitely have to rely on the power of magic to move in the endless void. And as long as a Spell was used, the Void Storm would be like a bloodthirsty shark that would chase after that trace of Mana fluctuation until it completely disappeared.
It was impossible to outrun the Nether Storms, because there would be new Nether Storms appearing in the endless void at any time. No one would know if a Nether Storm would suddenly appear beside them while they were escaping. Furthermore, even if one was lucky enough not to be blocked by a new Nether Storm, the number of Nether Storms chasing after them would only increase. Unless one hid in the world in time, even a Sanctuary powerhouse would be exhausted to death.
Only when one reached the level of the Immortal King, whose Domain World had become a real world, could one open up a real world in the void at any time and place, and travel freely in the endless void.
The purpose of Lin Li's experiment was to make use of the Nether Storms' ability to chase after foreign energy and try to create a short period of safety for himself. Lin Li had a rough idea of how long it would take for him to bring people back to the bottom of the Sky Castle. This was because he had to calculate how long the Nether Storms could be held back by the Nether Storms, and where to explode them, and so on.
For this purpose, Lin Li was not stingy with the consumption of Legendary magical crystals. He activated the Dragon Cannons again and again, using one Legendary magical crystal for every ten shots. He only stopped after using six Legendary magical crystals.
After persuading Lin Li for a while, Archbishop Martin finally became numb to Lin Li's prodigal behavior. He stared blankly at the pile of crystal powder below the Dragon Cannons. Those were all priceless treasures, but they turned into a pile of residue in the blink of an eye. What a waste of God's good gifts.
As for Donald, although he wanted to build a good relationship with the Tower of Dusk, he did not have much of a relationship with them. Seeing Lin Li waste Legendary magical crystals, he felt that it was a pity, but more than that, he wanted to watch a good show.
