Previously, when he was in the Endless Void, Lin Li did not continue to explore the inverted tower. One reason was that it was a matter of time, and another, more important reason was that he felt that he was not strong enough. This time, Lin Li had successfully stepped into level-27, and with the guidance of Geresco's incarnation, his strength had changed tremendously. Hence, when the speed of his improvement fell to a low point, Lin Li felt that it was time for him to explore the inverted tower further.
Hence, when the representatives of the various forces of the Breezy Plains came to the Tower of Dusk again in a bid to get Lin Li to stand up and preside over the alliance, Lin Li had already stepped into the inverted tower.
The first floor, which had been emptied of bookshelves, was no longer of any value to Lin Li. Lin Li passed through the layers of bookshelves, and arrived in front of the stairs that led to the second floor of the tower. The invisible barrier that had previously blocked everyone from passing through could no longer stop Lin Li's footsteps. It was as if he had passed through a layer of water, and he successfully stepped onto the stairs.
Before entering the second floor, Lin Li could already feel a vast and ancient aura surging towards him from above as soon as he stepped on the stairs. At the instant that he felt the aura, Lin Li even had an illusion, as if he had suddenly been placed in the prehistoric land of the prehistoric times.
What could it be? Lin Li's curiosity was immediately piqued, but his footsteps did not become hurried. He continued to walk up the stairs unhurriedly, and with some anticipation in his heart, he walked towards the second floor of the tower.
Lin Li walked all the way to the end of the stairs, and what appeared in front of him was a small hall that was not very spacious. There were no decorations in the small hall, and there was only a crystal ball suspended on a stone platform in the middle. There were complicated mageweaths carved on the stone platform, and the crystal ball was not a rare item. It could only be considered a high-quality crystal ball.
Lin Li was somewhat surprised to see this. However, there was a whirlpool-shaped door opposite the small hall, and the ancient aura was coming from that door. Lin Li knew that the truly valuable thing on this floor seemed to be behind the vortex-shaped door. However, he had no way of knowing what the crystal ball was used for.
Looking at the vortex-shaped door, Lin Li knew that such a door often meant that there would be another space or world behind it. However, he did not hesitate because of that. If this was set up by the Immortal King or Osric, he would have to think about it carefully. However, since it was left behind by Geresco, it meant that it was unlikely to be a fatal trap.
Hence, without hesitation, Lin Li walked past the stone platform and the crystal ball, and stepped into the vortex-shaped door.
After walking through the door, Lin Li saw a very wide space. The flat ground was engraved with smooth lines that formed a huge array. In the surroundings, there were hundreds of giant stone pillars that towered into the clouds. The stone pillars were engraved with simple and unadorned patterns that gave off a sense of rugged beauty, surrounding the space into a circular field.
From the surrounding scenery, Lin Li could tell that this should be an existence similar to an arena. However, why would Geresco place an arena here? Lin Li did not think that Geresco would place useless things in the tower like they were treasures.
Lin Li carefully sized up the arena, from the huge array on the ground to the decorative patterns on the surrounding stone pillars. He could feel the ancient aura emitted by the arena, and an unbelievable possibility suddenly appeared in his mind.
Could it be that this place was actually the legendary Barbarous Arena? Even with Lin Li's current vision and mentality, he could not help but feel his heart race when he thought of that possibility.
The Barbarous Arena was not the kind of arena that was used for duels or entertainment. In ancient mythology, the reputation of the Barbarous Arena was not inferior to that of the Tree of Eternity. However, the Tree of Eternity was easily proven to exist, while the Barbarous Arena had always been said to be a fantasy.
Legend had it that on the frozen highlands of Anril, there used to be a very powerful race. They did not know how to use magic or Combat Energy, but their bodies were so strong that even wyrms had to bow down to them. Because of their fearsome brute force, other races called them barbarians, while they claimed to be the descendants of the Titans.
To be honest, many races in Anril claimed that they were descendants of the Titans, and even the dwarves claimed that they had the bloodline of the Titans. Therefore, this statement of the barbarians was not accepted by the other races. Only they themselves believed in it.
The reason why the barbarians chose to live in the harsh environment of the frozen highlands wasn't because they were oppressed by other races. Instead, they believed that only by living in harsh conditions could they stimulate the bloodline power of the Titans' descendants to the greatest extent. Another more important reason was the Barbarous Arena located in the middle of the frozen highlands.
It was said that the Barbarous Arena was even older than the Tree of Eternity, and could be traced back to before the Dark Age. The arena had already existed before the Tree of Eternity was born. Even the barbarians did not know when the Barbarous Arena had appeared on the frozen highlands, nor did they know who had built it. They only claimed that the arena had once been the place where the gods fought.
The Barbarous Arena was very important to the barbarians, and they had been nurturing powerful and outstanding warriors through the Barbarous Arena for generations. They also selected the most powerful warrior of the entire race to become the king of the barbarians.
Every barbarian would be qualified to enter the Barbarous Arena at the age of 12, and had to enter the Barbarous Arena to train. No one knew what kind of power was controlling the Barbarous Arena. In short, as long as someone entered it, an opponent of equal strength would automatically appear.
No one knew where the opponent came from, or why the opponent would appear in the Barbarous Arena. In fact, no one even knew what kind of opponent they were going to face. It might be a human, a High Elf, a magical beast, a demon, a wyrm, and so on. In short, everything was possible.
It was precisely because of the incredible power of the Barbarous Arena that people had always thought that it was an illusory existence that existed only in myths. Not to mention ordinary people, even the powerhouses of the Sanctuary-realm who had mastered the World Laws to the extreme would probably not be able to understand the magical power of the Barbarous Arena.
Moreover, there seemed to be no limit to the power of the Barbarous Arena. If an ordinary person were to enter, his opponent would also be an ordinary person. However, if a Sanctuary powerhouse were to enter, his opponent would also be a Sanctuary powerhouse of equivalent strength. It was said that even if a real deity entered, there would still be an opponent that could rival him. That might be the origin of the battlefield of the gods.
Lin Li carefully looked around, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was like the Barbarous Arena that he knew. If this was really the Barbarous Arena, it would indeed be qualified to be placed in the inverted tower by Geresco.
Just as Lin Li was guessing if this was the legendary Barbarous Arena, a massive wave of mana suddenly emerged out of thin air not far in front of him, and the space there began to distort violently. Next, the figure of a wyrm appeared out of thin air in the blink of an eye, and it quickly became extremely real.
"Roar!" A loud and clear dragon roar resounded in the arena along with the appearance of the giant dragon.
Looking at the wyrm that appeared out of thin air, Lin Li's pupils suddenly constricted, because it was not a wyrm that ordinary people were talking about, but a king of the wyrms that had Sanctuary-level mana waves.
It was a silver wyrm that was not very large, but looked more robust from head to toe. Its entire body was covered with scales that were like silver armor that shone with a cold and beautiful glow. The silver dragon did not seem terrifying, but rather like an unsheathed sword that was so sharp that no one dared to look at it directly.
Among the ancient wyrms, the silver dragons had always been known as the assassins of the wyrms. They had speed that other wyrms could not compare to, and were known for their agility and agility in battle. Moreover, the Silver Dragon Clan also grasped spatial force, which made their attacks even more difficult to defend against.
Hence, even though the silver dragon seemed to be only level-26, Lin Li did not dare to let his guard down at all. In particular, for wyrms, their powerful defense and unparalleled power were all part of their strength, and their level did not mean anything at all.
Besides, there was a special characteristic of the Barbarous Arena, and that was that it would automatically match the corresponding opponents for those who entered. Although the silver dragon was only level-26, since it had been let in by the Barbarous Arena, it meant that its combat power was definitely not inferior to Lin Li's, who was a level-27 powerhouse. In fact, it might even be stronger.
After entering the Barbarous Arena, the silver dragon seemed to be a little dazed for suddenly coming to an unfamiliar place, but its bloodshot eyes regained clarity in the blink of an eye. It had already noticed Lin Li, who was standing not far in front of it. After letting out a roar, it attacked Lin Li without hesitation, perhaps because it had regarded Lin Li as the culprit who got it there, or because it had obtained some unknown information.
