However, the alchemical battleships did give Lin Li an opportunity. Seeing that the dragon corpse's chest had been exposed, Lin Li pointed the Helios' Scepter forward, and a Light and Darkness Sword appeared, piercing the huge wound on the dragon corpse's chest.
According to Lin Li's thoughts, although the dragon corpse's body had a strong physical and magical defense, the huge wound had already penetrated deep into its internal organs, and there were no scales to protect the wound. If he could stab it through the wound and trigger the Light and Darkness Explosion, he might directly blow up the dragon corpse's stomach. In that case, the Dragon Corpse would only be left with its skin, and it probably wouldn't be able to cause any more waves.
Seeing Lin Li's approach, Elder Mafa, Elvis, and the others were also inspired, and cast their strongest magic spells one after another to bombard the wound on the dragon corpse's chest. All of a sudden, the sky was filled with all kinds of magic spells, and the entire sky was illuminated with a myriad of colors. The target of all the magic spells was the wound on the dragon corpse's chest.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The continuous roars sounded in the sky, and the light in front of the dragon corpse's chest flickered continuously, almost drowning half of the dragon's body.
Even a mountain range would be flattened by such a dense bombardment of magic spells that were cast by Sanctuary powerhouses and peak Legendary powerhouses. However, when the light of the magic spells dissipated, everyone discovered that the dragon corpse had actually used a dragon claw to block the wound on its chest. Apart from some traces of bombardment at the edge of the wound that was not blocked, none of the magic spells had really blasted into the wound.
Damn it, how are we supposed to fight? We can't even move it, but we might die if we get hit by it! At this moment, everyone including Lin Li felt a sense of powerlessness. The battle was really hopeless.
Among all of them, Lin Li probably had the most trump cards, and each of them would probably play a vital role in other battles. However, Lin Li carefully recalled all of his trump cards while dealing with the dragon corpse's attacks, only to helplessly realize that none of them could play an obvious role.
Indeed, Lin Li had the debris of the stars, but in order to truly exert the power of the debris of the stars, he still needed the Stars of Fury to work. Although Lin Li still had the Crossbow of Reincarnation, which could slightly replace the effects of the Stars of Fury, Lin Li still had the Crossbow of Reincarnation. But that was when he was facing other enemies. Now that he was facing the corpse of Azardas, the Dragon of Destruction, he knew very well how useful the Crossbow of Reincarnation could be.
Back in the Endless World, Lin Li had fought with the Dragon of Destruction. Although he managed to kill the Dragon of Destruction in the end, the process was really like a nightmare. At that time, Lin Li was using the debris of the stars and the Stars of Fury. With those two artifacts, it was still extremely difficult to kill them. Hence, Lin Li knew better than anyone else about the defensive capabilities of the Dragon of Destruction's skin. Even if he was only facing a dragon corpse now, the Crossbow of Reincarnation would not be of much use.
Since he could not break through the dragon corpse's defense, he could only think of another way. The first thing that came to Lin Li's mind was Necromagic, but was this dragon corpse an Undead creature? Logically speaking, a dead body that could move and fight like a living person should be an Undead creature. However, Lin Li did not feel a trace of the aura of an Undead creature from the dragon corpse. Besides, the Dragon of Destruction, Azardas, was one of the five Dragon Aspects, and was a powerful existence with a divine position. Even if it died, it would not become an Undead creature.
In that case, if it was not an Undead creature, what was supporting the dragon corpse's movement and fighting? Lin Li thought about it for a moment, and decided to give it a try. Anyway, there was no other way now, so he might as well give it a shot. After all, although he had the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction for so many years, he really did not know what it should belong to after it came to life.
"Attract its attention!" Due to the fact that Lin Li's attack power was the highest among them, he had already attracted a lot of the dragon corpse's attention even though he did not cause much damage to it. Lin Li now simply stopped attacking, and instead continuously activated the power of the Space Robe while his body constantly flickered in space to avoid the dragon corpse's attacks.
When the others heard Lin Li's words, no one objected, even though the arrangement seemed unfair. Even Elder Zumar began to do as Lin Li said unconditionally. After all, he did not want to offend such a powerful ally at this juncture.
As expected, the dragon corpse's attention was attracted by Elder Zumar who had the second highest attack power after chasing Lin Li for a short while. Seeing this scene, Lin Li immediately stopped flashing, and flew to a place not far behind the dragon corpse. He then raised the Helios' Scepter and pointed it forward, casting a seemingly invisible magic spell, Soul Shock.
In Lin Li's opinion, even if the dragon corpse was not an Undead creature, its body could still move as if it were alive, and it did not seem rigid or mechanical in battle at all. Hence, there had to be something that could control it. Due to the fact that the dragon corpse displayed peak Sanctuary-level power, parasites like Lord Devourer that could control its host dared not approach the Dragon of Destruction's corpse at all. If it got too close, it might be crushed into meat paste by the supreme Menace of the Dragon.
Hence, Lin Li chose Soul Shock, which had the most powerful offensive power among the Spiritual Magic spells. Soul Shock should be considered an enhanced version of Soul Shock. Soul Shock could only make the enemy's soul fall into a state of dizziness, but Soul Shock could directly shatter the enemy's soul.
In particular, Lin Li now had a massive amount of mental strength that had become extremely pure after being purified by the magical crystal that controlled the Sky Castle. Hence, the power of Soul Shock would definitely be multiplied several times. However, Lin Li was not sure if the magic would be effective. After all, the soul of the Dragon of Destruction could not be shattered that easily. However, it should at least be able to make the dragon corpse's soul fall into a state of dizziness. Even if it was just a short period of dizziness, Lin Li and the others could take this opportunity to send a large amount of magic directly into the dragon corpse's stomach through the wound on its chest.
Soul Shock let out a spiritual roar that rushed directly into the dragon corpse's brain. However, to Lin Li's surprise, there was no soul in the dragon corpse, and its brain was empty. Even the low-level soul fire of an Undead creature was nowhere to be seen.
There was no life and no soul. It was just a pure dragon corpse, yet it had an extremely high combat awareness, as if it was born to be proficient in combat. It did not seem like a corpse at all.
That made Lin Li feel strange again. To be honest, an existence at the level of the Dragon of Destruction should have long had an immortal soul. However, where did the soul of the Dragon of Destruction go? Could it be that what Tutankhamun was guarding under the Blackstone Mountains was not the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction, but the soul of the Dragon of Destruction? Or could it be that the Immortal King had not only taken away the magical crystal of the Dragon of Destruction, but also the soul of the Dragon of Destruction?
However, no matter what, the soul attack was undoubtedly ineffective, and Lin Li was really in a difficult position now. The various magic spells could not cause any obvious damage to the dragon corpse, and the soul attack was completely ineffective. The dragon corpse was simply unsolvable! If he had the Stars of Fury, he would probably have blasted the dragon corpse into smithereens long ago. No matter how precious it was, he already had one in his ring, but the problem was that he couldn't possibly go to the Stars of Fury now.
Besides, more importantly, the dragon corpse did not have a soul, but its combat instincts were still so perverted. It was not a simple problem of having a thick tortoise shell. Its bite was really deadly. Cardson and Gatana returned after sending the people of the Gilded Kingdom off, but the two of them soon left again. One of them had almost all his bones broken by the tail of the dragon corpse, while the other was disfigured by the dragon breath. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have really died there.
As for the others, the peak Legendary powerhouses had basically withdrawn from the battlefield, and no matter how many trump cards they had, they would still be useless to the dragon corpse. Elvis and the other four pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses were also injured, but they were not so serious that they had lost their combat power. Hence, they were still barely holding on.
Even Lin Li, who had received guidance from Geresco and accumulated so much combat experience in the Barbarous Arena, almost suffered a huge loss when facing the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction several times. If it weren't for the fact that he could dodge fast enough with his Space Robe, he would probably have been injured by now.
In this battle, it seemed that Lin Li and the others were besieging the dragon corpse, and the dragon corpse seemed to be at a disadvantage. However, only Lin Li and the others knew that they were actually the ones who were at a disadvantage. No matter how fiercely they fought, they could not hurt the dragon corpse. However, once the dragon corpse began to counterattack, they would often be flustered, and even have to flee in all directions to avoid being forced into a desperate situation.
However, after such a situation occurred several times, Lin Li suddenly discovered a key problem. Since the dragon corpse had no soul and only had combat instincts, why did it miss the opportunity to vanquish the enemy so many times? It was because he saw several times that the dragon corpse clearly had a chance to kill Elvis and the others, but it suddenly stopped and retreated to the sky above Cage Island.
Could it be that the dragon corpse is like a chained dog that can only move within a certain range, and can only watch as the enemy escapes if it goes further? Lin Li couldn't help but make such a guess. Although it was still just a guess, he might really be able to make use of it if it could be verified.
In order to confirm his guess, Lin Li specially instructed the others to fly far away when they encountered danger, and to fly directly out of the sea area of Cage Island.
With Lin Li's instructions, Elvis and the others immediately fled several times more frequently. As long as they saw that the situation was not good, they would immediately fly out of the sea area of Cage Island. Taking this opportunity, Lin Li did a lot of observation, and indeed discovered that the dragon corpse seemed to be really chained to Cage Island, and the only area that it could move about in was the sea area with Cage Island as the center.
In that case, what exactly was the reason that the dragon corpse had been guarding Cage Island? After all, the Gilded Kingdom's operation to reinforce the seal had failed, and since the dragon corpse could break out of Cage Island, the seal was most likely broken. Could there be a seal that restricted its range of movement? Of course, there was another possibility, and that was that the dragon corpse had its own reasons. Regardless of whether it was to protect something or simply out of nostalgia, such a phenomenon could occur.
Although both of those reasons could cause the dragon corpse to not leave Cage Island now, there was a huge difference between the two. If it was a seal, he might be able to find a way to deal with that seal, and seal the dragon corpse under Cage Island again. However, if it was purely because of the dragon corpse, Lin Li would have to be prepared to escape, because that meant that the dragon corpse was likely to rush out of Cage Island without a care for anything else. If that were to happen, Lin Li reckoned that he probably wouldn't be able to take care of them, and would have no choice but to be prepared to give up on them.
In order to verify the conjecture in his heart, Lin Li reduced the number of times he attacked even though he was still on the battlefield. He could almost gradually fade out of the battle. He wasn't slacking off by doing so. Instead, he was devoting more of his energy to the entire battlefield, hoping to find some clues there.
Elder Zumar had long begun to curse Lin Li's behavior. After all, among them, he and Lin Li were the only ones who could really be a match for the dragon corpse. Now that Lin Li had faded out of the battle, it meant that all the pressure was now on Elder Zumar. How could the old man be happy about that?
As for Elvis and the others, although they couldn't figure out what Lin Li was going to do, they still strictly followed Lin Li's instructions, and continuously fought with the dragon corpse. No one complained at all. At this point, they were truly convinced of Lin Li's abilities. They didn't know how great the young Sanctuary powerhouse's achievements would be in the future, and he might even become a figure like Geresco. If they didn't hurry up and suck up to him now, they wouldn't be able to do so in the future.
Lin Li's slacking on the battlefield caused the battle to develop to a very dangerous point. As a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, Elder Zumar was forced into a perilous situation by the dragon corpse after bearing most of the pressure of the battle. On the other hand, although Elvis and the others were not the focus of the dragon corpse, the difference in strength was too great, after all. Hence, they were all in a disheveled state as if they could be destroyed at any time.
After all, it was the corpse of Azardas, the Dragon of Destruction. Even without its soul and Dragon Crystal, it still had peak Sanctuary-level power.
