However, this time, the Domain World that Lin Li constructed did not use the debris of the stars, and instead relied entirely on his own understanding of the world. In particular, through the previous battle, he had also made great progress in his understanding of the world. Although the Domain World at this time was not as powerful as the debris of the stars, it was much more resilient.
Seeing that the Black Flames Flower was burning the outer layer of the Domain World, Lin Li raised the Helios' Scepter unhurriedly, and the entire Domain World immediately began to revolve rapidly with his movements. The power from the Domain World was like an extension of Lin Li's limbs, and it was no longer as obscure as before. Waves of World Power continuously vibrated, and the ingenious combination of power gradually extinguished the Black Flames Flower.
However, that was not Lin Li's entire purpose. Defense could not be purely defensive, for that would only put him in a passive position, especially when facing an opponent like Geresco. In terms of seizing opportunities, there was probably no one in the entire Anril who could compare to Geresco. Hence, what Lin Li had to do was not to give his opponent any chance. Even if there was a chance that he might give Geresco an opportunity, he had to find a way to make up for it, and even turn the opportunity into a trap.
While Lin Li was using the vibrating World Power to extinguish the Black Flames Flower, the Domain World was also continuously expanding and collapsing. It was as if the Domain World could not bear the burden and was about to collapse. A large amount of World Power seemed to have lost its restraints and spread towards the surroundings.
However, Geresco was a formidable figure. Although he saw the changes in Lin Li's Domain World, he did not fall for it. Instead, he waved the scepter in his hand, and a large ring of lightning spread towards the surroundings with his body as the center, repelling all the World Power that Lin Li had spread towards him.
Geresco's response was not beyond Lin Li's expectations. If Geresco had fallen for it so easily, he wouldn't have ravaged him for so long. After the World Power that he controlled was repelled, Lin Li immediately waved the Helios' Scepter, and a large six-pointed star suddenly appeared above Geresco's head. The six-pointed star emitted black and white rays of light, and it rotated rapidly, scattering the light in all directions, almost covering Geresco's figure.
On the other hand, the Lightning Ring that Geresco had just cast did not bounce off after coming into contact with the black and white light. Instead, it seemed to pass through the air without any hindrance.
In addition to the power of Light and Darkness, Lin Li also used the power of space on the black-and-white six-pointed star. In fact, he placed the black-and-white six-pointed star on the level of parallel space. The black and white hexagram and the lightning ring were not in the same layer of space. Naturally, the lightning ring could not reflect the power of light and darkness.
However, it was precisely because the two of them were not in the same dimension that the power of the black and white hexagram could not actually cause any harm to Geresco. However, Lin Li's purpose was not to frighten people. As the black and white six-pointed star rotated, a black hole was formed in the center of the six-pointed star, and a strong suction force shrouded the body of Geresco's incarnation. At the same time, a Hand of Light and Darkness reached out from the Black Hole and grabbed at Geresco's incarnation.
That magic was known as the Right Hand of God in Holy Light Magic, and it could uproot a city and bring it into a different dimension. Legend had it that when the Brilliance Shrine and the Supreme Council worked together to expel the Black Current in the Sunset Mountains, Pope Rosario of the Brilliance Shrine had once used this magic to capture tens of thousands of magical beasts that had gone berserk and brought them into a different dimension.
The Right Hand of God that Lin Li had cast was even more powerful than the one that Pope Rosario of the Brilliance Shrine had cast before, especially since the target was only Geresco's incarnation. Hence, the power was more condensed, and it was harder to resist. If it were any other level-25 Sanctuary powerhouse, they would probably have been banished to a different dimension.
However, Geresco didn't seem to take the Hand of Light and Darkness seriously and the strong suction force of the black hole. Just as the Hand of Light and Darkness was about to land, a faint halo suddenly shrouded Geresco's body, after which all the light surged upwards and converged into a pillar of light that shot into the sky.
After the silent contact, the Hand of Light and Darkness fell into the pillar of light, as if it had come out of a black hole and entered a white hole. After the pillar of light engulfed the Hand of Light and Darkness, it shot straight into the black hole in the center of the Light and Darkness Hexagram, and the entire Light and Darkness Hexagram was immediately covered by a layer of light. When the light dissipated, everything had disappeared without a trace. It was as if nothing had ever existed.
However, at this moment, the image around Geresco suddenly changed, and the library-like hall had disappeared, replaced by a barren world. Lin Li stood quietly in a place not far away with the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he smirked as if his scheme had succeeded.
Yes, this place was Lin Li's Domain World. Through various designs, he had finally incorporated Geresco's incarnation into his Domain World. In the Domain World, Lin Li was the supreme god. If Geresco's incarnation had level-26 strength, it might not have been affected too much. However, the incarnation was restricted to level-25, after all.
Although Lin Li could not completely control the life and death of Geresco's incarnation even in his own Domain World, the home advantage could not be erased.
Previously, Lin Li had disintegrated his Domain World and spread the power of the world to the greatest extent, precisely because he hoped to include Geresco's incarnation in the Domain World when he rebuilt it. At that time, Geresco's incarnation had obviously already known Lin Li's intentions. Hence, he directly cast magic to repel all of Lin Li's World Power.
However, Lin Li did not ignore the World Power that had been repelled. Instead, while casting the Right Hand of God, he permeated the World Power into the spatial layer of the Light and Darkness Hexagram through the Space Power. In order to resist the attack of the Right Hand of God, Geresco's incarnation also used Space Power, and brought himself into that spatial layer.
At this moment, Lin Li used the World Power that he had already set up to reconstruct the Domain World in the same spatial layer, and incorporated Geresco's incarnation into the Domain World. Those things seemed simple, but the knowledge of magic involved and the skills of using magic had reached a certain extent.
Besides, the exchange between the two actually happened in an instant. In the past, Lin Li would definitely not have been able to complete all the arrangements in such a short period of time.
Although Lin Li did not launch the final attack after incorporating Geresco's incarnation into the Domain World, the outcome of the battle was actually very obvious. When a level-25 Sanctuary powerhouse was placed in the Domain World of a level-26 Sanctuary powerhouse, all experience and skills would be useless, and the realm would be the deciding factor.
Geresco's incarnation had indeed stopped all his movements, and after looking around at the scene in the Domain World, his gaze finally landed on Lin Li. His face had also relaxed at this moment, and he calmly said, "The Immortal King has taken the wrong path, and I seem to have taken the wrong path too. I wonder what your path will be like in the future."
Lin Li initially planned to show off or listen to Geresco's praise, but he didn't expect Geresco to suddenly say such a thing. With a dumbfounded expression, he asked, "What? What do you mean by path?"
However, Geresco's incarnation did not answer Lin Li's question. With a relaxed expression on his face, he gradually became transparent, and soon disappeared without a trace.
"Hey, what do you mean by that!?" Lin Li asked, but in the end, he did not get any answer until Geresco's mana waves completely disappeared from his Domain World.
With the disappearance of Geresco's incarnation, the surrounding scenery changed again, and everything became blurry and distorted. However, it soon returned to normal. However, at this moment, Lin Li saw the figures of his subordinates, Archbishop Martin, and the others not far behind him, as well as the magic books that were floating around slowly.
In the eyes of Archbishop Martin and the others, they also saw Lin Li's figure gradually emerging after a distortion in the space, along with the magic books. They seemed to have been cast with the Levitation Spell as they slowly floated down like snowflakes.
"Master Felic, it's great that you're alright. Where did you go with Geresco's incarnation just now?" Seeing that Lin Li was fine, Archbishop Martin immediately greeted him with a face full of joy, and asked him about what had happened while walking.
"Nothing much, I just got some pointers from Geresco's incarnation on some magic issues," Lin Li answered simply. Without explaining what had happened just now in more detail, he began to put the magic books into the Ring of Endless Storm one by one.
Seeing that Lin Li was putting away the precious magic books, Archbishop Martin and Donald were a little jealous, but that was all they could do. After all, the Sky Castle was built by Lin Li, so the things in the Sky Castle would naturally be built by Lin Li too. Besides, the Brilliance Shrine studied Holy Light Magic, while the Rotterdam Kingdom studied Alchemy. Hence, the magic books were precious to them, but not of much value.
As for what had suddenly happened during the period when Lin Li disappeared, Lin Li was unwilling to talk about it. Hence, Archbishop Martin and Donald did not ask too much. If Lin Li had gained a greater gain, they would just be more envious and jealous of him. Wouldn't they be making things difficult for themselves?
Of course, just like what Archbishop Martin and the others were worried about, Lin Li had indeed gained a greater gain. Through the battle with Geresco's incarnation during this period of time, the experience and skills that he had obtained from the Book of Eternity and various other channels had all been verified. He had truly turned other people's things into his own.
That had definitely played a great role in improving Lin Li's combat power. Previously in the Well of the Sun, Lin Li's strength had already reached the peak of level-26 through the battle with the Immortal King's incarnation. However, that was only in terms of power. Even if he reached the peak of level-26, he would still be very far away from level-27 if he did not know how to use his power.
However, after being tempered by Geresco's incarnation, Lin Li could already use the power that he had mastered to the extreme. That was what he was really a step away from level-27. What Lin Li needed now was an opportunity to advance. As long as the opportunity arrived, there would be almost no accident for him to step into level-27.
As for the magic books, they were actually not of much use to Lin Li, but they could be used to fill up the library of the Tower of Dusk to a large extent. Moreover, with these magic books, the mages of the Tower of Dusk would have a greater advantage when learning magic. After all, they were all written by Geresco, and belonged to humans.
After putting away all the magic books, Lin Li led the crowd through the library-like hall, and arrived at the location of the building that led to the upper floor according to the structure of the Central Tower. However, there was a problem there. The stairs were clearly there, but Lin Li and the others kept walking up them, and when they reached the end of the stairs, they returned to the hall on the first floor.
"Is this some kind of magic gear?" Archbishop Martin asked Lin Li in bewilderment.
Lin Li took a closer look at the stairs, but he did not see any traces of magic gears or magic traps. At the same time, he did not feel any abnormal mana waves either. The stairs seemed to be the most ordinary stairs. Unwilling to give up, Lin Li led them up a few more times, but the results were the same every time. They would always return to the hall on the first floor.
At this moment, Lin Li suddenly thought of Geresco's incarnation. That incarnation's power was limited to level-25, but he beat up a level-26 Sanctuary powerhouse like him. Could it be that I can't go up to the second floor with my current strength?
I'm now at level-26, and through the guidance and training of Geresco's incarnation, I've completely mastered the power of level-26, and am only a step away from level-27. When I step into level-27, I'll definitely encounter similar problems. If I want to master the power of level-27 as soon as possible, I'll probably still need Geresco's guidance. In that case, could it be that Geresco had left a test on the second floor of this tower?
No matter what, Lin Li could at least be certain that the existence of this tower should not pose any threat to his control of the Sky Castle.
