As for the whereabouts of the magical crystal, there seemed to be no need to guess. It had most likely been dug up by the Immortal King. Rumor had it that Tutankhamun and Nefa were hatched by the Immortal King using the magical crystal of the Dragon of Destruction. Anyway, the parties involved had already admitted to it. As for whether it was true or not, Lin Li had no way to judge.
There were also many legends about the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction in Anril. For example, the Immortal King used the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction to build the Sky Castle, and Highlord Osric used the eyes of the Dragon of Destruction to make the sun in his mausoleum. But now that he had seen it, most of those legends were just people's guesses. Although they sounded convincing, now that the dragon corpse had appeared, all the legends collapsed on their own.
Although there was a complete corpse of the Dragon of Destruction in Lin Li's Ring of Endless Storm, he felt like it had been a long time since he saw one that could move. Of course, in fact, Lin Li didn't want to see a moving dragon corpse at this moment. However, since he had encountered it, there was nothing else he could say.
The dragon corpse in front of him looked like a mountain that was suspended in the air, and the pair of large fleshy wings on its back was flapping slowly, creating a gust of wind that set off huge waves on the surface of the sea. Apart from the large hole in its chest, the dragon corpse looked rather intact. It seemed that the Immortal King was not a person who liked to torture corpses. In fact, the dragon scales on the dragon corpse were not damaged at all, and were still shining with a black light.
However, there was one thing that Lin Li couldn't figure out. What exactly was the Immortal King trying to do? How could he throw the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction around so casually? The dragon corpse in his ring was too precious, and he had always been reluctant to use it. Yet, the Immortal King casually threw such a precious material away. The difference was too great.
Of course, perhaps the Immortal King did not throw it away casually, and instead placed it there for a purpose. After all, the dragon corpse was sealed under Cage Island. However, with the Immortal King's ability, he probably wouldn't have let the dragon corpse escape so easily if he wanted to seal it. Or was it sealed by someone else? The ancestors of the Gilded Kingdom were more suspicious. Otherwise, they wouldn't have left a map for their descendants, and even asked them to reinforce the seal regularly.
However, in that case, there was another problem. It was the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction, which was unique in Anril. It could be considered a priceless treasure. If the Immortal King was the one who left it here, and the ancestors of the Gilded Kingdom discovered it, why didn't they just take it away, and instead sealed it here? Could it be that being sealed here was more beneficial than using corpses to make all kinds of precious things?
The appearance of the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction brought too many questions to Lin Li, but the moving corpse obviously did not intend to give Lin Li time to think about those questions. After the dragon's corpse flew up, it opened its mouth without any warning, and spewed a mouthful of dragon breath at Lin Li and the rest with a hoarse roar.
Due to the fact that the body of the Dragon of Destruction was extremely large, its dragon breath almost enveloped half of Cage Island. Fortunately, Lin Li did not let his guard down. As soon as he saw the dragon corpse open its mouth, he immediately activated his Space Robe to escape. On the other hand, Elder Zumar was unlucky because he still had a large number of subordinates to manage. Seeing that the dragon breath was spewed over, he barely managed to gather some of his subordinates, and managed to dodge it by a hair's breadth.
However, there were still some people from the Gilded Kingdom who did not have time to return to Elder Zumar's side because they had been shocked by the dragon's might at the beginning. At this moment, they were hit by the dragon breath. The defense of those people was like paper in front of the dragon breath of the Dragon of Destruction, and they did not even have the time to scream before they were instantly turned into ashes by the dragon breath.
Seeing this scene, Elder Zumar's heart ached terribly. They were all elites of the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati, and they had not suffered any casualties along the way. He didn't expect them to die so worthlessly. However, the current situation did not allow him to feel sorry for those who had already died. He still had plenty of subordinates to protect in the oceanic world, and he had to consider the lives of those who were still alive.
"President Felic, these people of mine will only be a burden to us if they stay here. Help me stall that dragon corpse, and I'll send them away immediately," Elder Zumar immediately said to Lin Li for help, no longer caring about his pride.
What a joke, if I stall the dragon corpse, who knows if you'll just run away with your people!? Lin Li was not trying to measure the heart of a gentleman with his own yardstick. In this world, interests were always the most important. At such a critical juncture, it was not surprising for people to make any choice.
"Elder Zumar, do you think I can stall this big guy alone? I think you'd better get someone else to help you send those subordinates away. If you stay with me, you should be able to stall it for some time." Lin Li did not say that he would stand aside and do nothing, and instead made such a suggestion. Anyway, Elder Zumar would not leave him there.
"Okay, I'll listen to your arrangements, President Felic." Elder Zumar was also a smart person, and immediately understood what Lin Li was worried about. Although he was very uncomfortable, he did not show it on his face. After all, he had seen Lin Li dodge just now, and knew that Lin Li could leave at any time. It would not be wise to provoke Lin Li at this juncture.
Seeing that Elder Zumar was considered smart, Lin Li did not deliberately make things difficult for him. Instead, he called Cardson and Gatana, the two pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses, and instructed them to escort Elder Zumar's subordinates away from the battlefield with their peak Legendary powerhouses. The main reason he called them was that they were the weakest among the six pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses. It would be better for them to return after escorting the people of the Gilded Kingdom away. Even if they did not return, it would not affect the battle too much.
Although Elder Zumar did not trust the strength of Cardson and Gatana very much, he had no choice but to hand over his subordinates who were protected in the domain to them. In order to make it safer for his subordinates to leave, he did not dare to delay any longer after handing them over. Instead, he immediately flew towards Lin Li, and acted like he wanted to fight alongside Lin Li.
However, as the dragon corpse breathed out another dragon breath, Lin Li and Elder Zumar immediately went their separate ways. After all, it was the dragon breath of the Dragon of Destruction, and even high-level Sanctuary powerhouses like them would not dare to use their own defenses to resist it.
Perhaps sensing a large amount of life aura that was leaving the sea area of Cage Island, the dragon corpse did not care about the two enemies that seemed to be stronger. Instead, it flapped its wings, and its massive body darted towards the retreating crowd of the Gilded Kingdom like a sharp arrow.
This time, Elder Zumar was anxious. He did not think that Cardson and Gatana could really block the dragon corpse's attack with their strength. Besides, if it really came to an emergency, the two of them would definitely abandon the others and flee without hesitation. He could not blame them afterwards. After all, they were in the Sanctuary-realm, and it was only right for them not to take risks for ordinary people.
Seeing that the dragon corpse was about to chase after them, Elder Zumar did not dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly pointed the staff in his hand forward, and all sorts of water and ice magic spells were immediately blasted over. Although the speed of the dragon corpse was not slow, it was still caught up by Elder Zumar's magic torrent, and the dragon corpse's shiny black back was immediately blasted with an icy-blue color.
Elder Zumar's magic bombardment had indeed attracted the attention of the dragon corpse, but what was shocking was that the magic just now did not really cause the slightest damage to the dragon corpse. The icy-blue color on the dragon corpse's back was shaken off as the dragon corpse turned around, and the spot that had been bombarded by the magic was still glowing.
However, even though it was not hurt, the dragon corpse still had its eyes on Elder Zumar. After all, the majesty of a wyrm could not be desecrated so easily, not to mention that it was the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction, which was once one of the five Dragon Aspects. With a hoarse roar, the fleshy wings on the dragon corpse's back flapped twice, and its mountainous body rushed towards Elder Zumar in an instant.
The dragon corpse did not spit out dragon breath again, and instead used its huge dragon claw to grab Elder Zumar's head. From the beginning, Elder Zumar did not neglect his defense at all. At this moment, he was surrounded by his Domain World, Oceanic World.
However, the Domain World of a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse actually burst like a soap bubble under the claws of the dragon corpse that contained terrifying power. The power of that claw was much stronger than that of Antora's previously. Although it did not contain the slightest nomological power, it still had the power to tear the sky and earth apart.
Even though Elder Zumar was a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, he still could not catch his breath for a while after his Domain World was crushed. Besides, the huge dragon claw was like a cover that covered the sky, and it completely enveloped Elder Zumar.
Faced with this situation, Elder Zumar did not panic, and instead chanted an incantation while raising the staff in his hand. As the gem at the top of the staff glowed, Elder Zumar's body shattered into countless water droplets with a loud bang before he was even touched. At a place not far from the dragon corpse, countless water droplets suddenly emerged out of thin air, and instantly reassembled Elder Zumar's body.
However, just as Elder Zumar's body was revealed, the dragon corpse suddenly turned around, and its tail that could flatten a mountain peak whizzed over with a whistling sound. As soon as Elder Zumar had the time to cast an ice wall, the dragon's tail had already smashed the ice wall, and hit Elder Zumar's body hard.
With a loud bang, Elder Zumar's body was sent flying, and his magic robe was actually torn.
After the dragon corpse sent Elder Zumar flying, it actually chased after Elder Zumar without stopping. At this moment, Elder Zumar almost had no ability to counterattack, and he couldn't defend at all. He was just waiting for death. Lin Li knew that he would be in trouble if he didn't take action. If he were to be left alone, it would probably be wishful thinking to deal with the dragon corpse.
Hence, Lin Li pointed the Helios' Scepter, and a large Light and Darkness Sword instantly condensed. As soon as the sword condensed, it slashed at the massive body of the dragon corpse. The power of the Light and Darkness Sword was no longer comparable to Lin Li's World Sword, but the power contained in it was still rather astonishing.
Even with such a slash, the dragon corpse's massive body staggered from the force of the slash. Of course, there was still no trace of damage on the hard scales of the dragon corpse at the spot that was slashed by the Light and Darkness Sword. On the contrary, the solid Light and Darkness Sword actually collapsed under the impact.
However, no matter what, with Lin Li's help, Elder Zumar managed to escape the calamity. Under Elder Zumar's order, the giant alchemical battleships that were still in the sea around Cage Island pointed their thick muzzles at the sky in unison, after which mana cannons were fired.
The body of the dragon corpse was too large, and the giant alchemical battleships below did not need to aim too carefully at the target. They simply had to point the muzzles slightly in the right direction, and the mana cannons that were shot out all hit the dragon corpse in an instant.
The mana cannons blasted a halo on the body of the dragon corpse, and the mana cannons that had killed countless marine beasts and could even blast through mountains did not have any effect on the dragon corpse. There was not a single trace left on the neatly arranged dragon scales, as if the mana cannons were just beams of light used for illumination.
"Roar!" The dragon corpse seemed to be annoyed by the little bugs below as it spat a mouthful of dragon breath at the sea below.
Although the alchemical battleships of the Gilded Kingdom were the most powerful battleships in the entire Anril, they were still relatively slow at sea, after all. Seeing the overwhelming dragon breath, the battleships that were shrouded immediately put up a defensive magic shield, and at the same time accelerated to change their direction in a bid to rush out of the range of the dragon breath.
However, there were still two battleships that did not manage to escape, and were directly enveloped by the dragon breath. All of a sudden, the magic shields on the two giant battleships burst like soap bubbles, and the steel hulls turned into a pile of molten iron that sank to the bottom of the sea in the blink of an eye like ice and snow under the sun. In fact, even the surface of the sea was eroded into a large depression after the dragon breath landed, and the seawater in all directions surged over, forming a large vortex.
When Elder Zumar saw this scene, he was extremely regretful. The value of the alchemical battleships was no less than that of the people who had evacuated previously. Although the Gilded Kingdom was known as the country with the most advanced maritime civilization, and was famous in Anril for its alchemical battleships, it was not an easy task to build such a battleship. Had he known that the alchemical battleships would be so vulnerable in the face of the dragon corpse, Elder Zumar would not have let them stay there no matter what.
