Besides, unlike other peak Sanctuary powerhouses, it was a corpse with a god's position. That meant a qualitative difference, just like the difference between a pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouse and a true Sanctuary powerhouse. It was something that ordinary peak Sanctuary powerhouses who were half a step away from becoming gods could not compare to.
The dragon corpse had strong combat instincts, and at the same time, its power contained a wisp of godly power, which was the power left behind by the gods. One should not underestimate the power of the gods. Although it might not be much to the real gods, it was extremely terrifying to the powerhouses of the Sanctuary-realm who were below the God-level.
Besides, in the face of the almost imperceptible godly power of the dragon corpse, Elder Zumar and the other Sanctuary powerhouses could clearly feel that their power was being suppressed by some existence. However, at their realm, they could not perceive the existence of that wisp of godly power, and they somehow felt that they could not exert their full power.
That caused the dragon corpse to become more and more arrogant, and Elder Zumar and the others were forced to run for their lives. In their current situation, they were simply being suppressed by the dragon corpse, and they would be thankful if they could keep themselves alive, let alone seal the dragon corpse again.
Outside the battlefield, the people of the Gilded Kingdom were also nervously watching the battle in the sky above Cage Island. Although their realm was still far from that, they could tell that the situation on the battlefield had already reached a rather disadvantageous point. One must know that those were six Sanctuary powerhouses. Despite being besieged by six Sanctuary powerhouses, the massive dragon corpse still had the upper hand. That was simply terrifying.
Although Cantory was not qualified to participate in a battle of such a level, his eyesight was not bad at all, and he soon discovered Lin Li's shameless act of slacking off on the battlefield. The experience of asking for help this time had already made Cantory resentful towards Lin Li. At this moment, when he saw that Lin Li was not putting in any effort, he felt even more resentful.
Damn it, is he trying to get us all killed!? Cantory clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth as if he was going to grind them into pieces. Now, he only hated himself for not stepping into the Sanctuary-realm. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to beg for help everywhere, would he still have to look at those people's faces, and would he still have to agree to those greedy guys' requests.
In Cantory's opinion, with his talent, he would definitely become a top powerhouse in the Sanctuary-realm as long as he could step into the Sanctuary-realm, just like when he was in the Legendary-realm. He even began to imagine how he would take revenge on the Tower of Dusk and the various forces of the Breezy Plains after he stepped into the Sanctuary-realm.
At this moment, Lin Li, who had been thought to be slacking off on the battlefield, suddenly had a thoughtful expression on his face. During the careful observation of the battlefield just now, he finally discovered something strange. Among the various powers that filled the entire space, some belonged to the dragon corpse, and some belonged to Elder Zumar and the several pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses. However, there was a faint trace of power that did not belong to anyone present.
The trace of power was very weak, just like a candle flame in a gale that could be extinguished at any moment. However, the trace of power was extremely tough, and every time Lin Li felt that it was about to disappear, it would persevere very tenaciously. It seemed very different in the space that was filled with all kinds of violent power.
What kind of power is this? Lin Li couldn't help but have a huge question mark in his mind. In this entire battlefield, if there had to be anything unusual, it would probably be the power of unknown origin. Although the power did not seem to be strong, the fact that it could exist in the space that was filled with all kinds of violent power showed that it was extraordinary.
Could it be that it was this power that prevented the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction from leaving Cage Island? Putting aside the possibility that it was the dragon corpse itself, in Lin Li's opinion, the power of unknown origin was the most suspicious thing in the entire battlefield. Although it seemed a little unbelievable that such a weak power could restrain the dragon corpse that was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, Lin Li could not find anything else that was suspicious.
Although Lin Li's attention was focused on that, he was just as aware of the changes in the overall situation of the battlefield as the others. How could he not know what kind of situation Elder Zumar and the others would be in under the crazy attacks of the dragon corpse? In fact, he might even be clearer than Elder Zumar and the others about how long they could persist in the face of the dragon corpse.
The seemingly weak power should be the only clue that Lin Li could find now. He was well aware that he had no other better choice, and that Elder Zumar and the others could not buy more time for him to find other possible clues under the attack of the dragon corpse.
In this situation, Lin Li had no choice but to put all his eggs in one basket and continue to search for that clue. If it turned out that he had found the right clue, everything would be fine, but if the clue was useless, Lin Li would have to leave immediately.
Lin Li was very self-aware, and he was well aware that with his current strength, he would not be able to contend with the dragon corpse of the Dragon of Destruction head-on no matter what. After all, it was already a difference in realm, and not something that could be made up for with skills and experience. Lin Li was afraid that even Geresco would not be able to defeat the dragon corpse that had the power of the gods with his current strength.
"President Felic, how long are you going to continue watching!?" After dodging the fatal blow of the dragon claw in a sorry state, Elder Zumar finally couldn't help but yell. He really hated the young president of the Tower of Dusk now. If the situation continued to develop like this, he and the elites of the kingdom would probably die in this godforsaken place, let alone complete the mission of his trip.
What Lin Li was doing now was naturally interpreted by Elder Zumar as Lin Li sitting on top of the mountain and watching the tigers fight. He was waiting for the two sides to fight to the point where they were both injured so that he could reap the benefits. However, in his opinion, that was simply foolish. It would have been fine if both sides had suffered heavy injuries in the end. However, with the dragon corpse's terrifying strength, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the entire battle was one-sided. If there were no evenly matched opponents, there would be no such thing as a lose-lose situation.
Faced with Elder Zumar's blatant urging, anyone who was thick-skinned would not continue to slack off shamelessly at this time. At the very least, they would have to act like they were working hard. However, Lin Li seemed to have not heard anything at all. Apart from dodging the aftermath of the attacks that he had to, he couldn't bear to even release a small fireball.
No one knew that at this moment, Lin Li's mental strength had already followed the strange power, and was pursuing the source of the power. The extremely weak power that seemed to be on the verge of breaking at any time made Lin Li put in a lot of effort in the process of pursuing the source. Speaking of which, he was really not inferior to the few who were currently fighting. However, the activity at the mental level could not be specifically manifested, and it was not as shocking as the collision of power in a head-on battle.
For ordinary people, in such a space that was filled with all kinds of violent power, it would be extremely difficult and dangerous for them to simply emit their mental strength, let alone pursue the almost undetectable power. Even Lin Li was now devoting all his energy to pursuing the source of the power, and at the same time, he had to deal with the ever-changing situation on the battlefield. Hence, he didn't have the energy to explain to others.
"Elder Zumar, Master Felic must be thinking of a countermeasure. Our task is to try our best to buy time for him." After all, Elvis had once explored Prince Brahere's mausoleum with Lin Li. Hence, he knew that Lin Li was definitely not a reckless person. Although he did not know what Lin Li was doing now, he was certain that he was definitely not doing nothing like what others saw. It was just that they couldn't understand it.
Hence, even though Elvis was also in a perilous situation, he still reminded Elder Zumar lest Lin Li intentionally or unintentionally lead the dragon corpse to Lin Li and disrupt what Lin Li was doing. Of course, more importantly, he had clearly expressed his trust in Lin Li, and that would definitely give Lin Li a lot of credit. That would definitely have a considerable impact on the relationship between the Mithril Alliance and the Tower of Dusk in the future.
Hearing Elvis's words, Elder Zumar was so infuriated that he almost vomited blood. How can there be such a shameless person in this world!? It was his first time working with Lin Li. Although Lin Li had previously shown strength that surprised him, he did not think that Lin Li really had the ability to suddenly turn the situation of the entire battlefield around. Hence, Elvis's words undoubtedly sounded like he was trying to flatter Lin Li, and was obviously trying to win Lin Li's favor.
However, Elvis's attitude still made Elder Zumar a little fearful. Right now, even if someone was shamelessly slacking off, at least he had the help of these people. However, if he were to anger these people, could it be that he would have to face this terrifyingly powerful dragon corpse alone?
Feeling helpless, Elder Zumar had no choice but to temporarily give up on the idea of finding trouble for Lin Li. He only hoped that Lin Li could really find the weakness of the dragon corpse like Elvis had said, and find a way to change the disadvantageous situation.
Lin Li was not completely unaware of the situation on the battlefield. Although he could not divert his energy to do anything for the time being, Elvis's tactfulness had indeed left a good impression on him. At this moment, Lin Li finally found the source of the weak power through careful identification.
As Lin Li had expected, the source of the weak power came from a certain position under Cage Island. At the same time, the other side of the power was indeed connected to the dragon corpse. Although Lin Li could not determine that the power was the one that had restrained the dragon corpse, it was enough to make him suspicious.
However, when Lin Li's mental strength wanted to penetrate the surface of the sea to finally confirm the source of the power, he encountered considerable resistance. The power of the dragon corpse had completely seeped into this space, including the entire sea around Cage Island. Although the dragon corpse did not have a soul or magical crystal, the sea around Cage Island was now equivalent to the Magical Domain of the dragon corpse. It was extremely difficult for Lin Li to penetrate it with his mental strength, and it was just like using a needle to stab an iron plate. It was extremely difficult.
Fortunately, Lin Li's mental strength had long been refined by the control crystal of the Sky Castle, and was far from what ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses could compare to. If there was really a higher realm above the Sanctuary-realm, Lin Li's current mental strength might have already reached the standard of the realm.
Under Lin Li's unremitting efforts, his mental strength finally penetrated the surface of the sea that was like a metal plate. Although Lin Li's mental strength still had to face great resistance after that, as long as he made a good start, the rest would not be too difficult. Following the weak power that he had found, Lin Li's mental strength broke through the layers of resistance, and explored all the way to the bottom of Cage Island.
Just as Lin Li's mental strength went deep into the bottom of Cage Island to explore, the battle situation above Cage Island had also developed to a very dangerous point. The terrifying dragon corpse had already completely taken the initiative in the battle, and everyone on the battlefield, including Elder Zumar, who was a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, was facing the greatest crisis in their lives.
Should I escape? As soon as that thought flashed through Elder Zumar's mind, he immediately got rid of it while it was still budding. Not to mention the fact that it would be embarrassing to escape, in the face of such a powerful dragon corpse, he wouldn't be able to care about the others even if he escaped. By then, the elite team of the Gilded Kingdom would definitely be buried there. Not only did he fail to complete the mission, but he also lost all the team he brought. How was he going to explain it to the king of the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati?
Besides, others might not know, but as the leader of this operation, Elder Zumar was well aware of the importance of this operation to the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati. It could be said that the successful completion of the mission this time would have a great impact on the future survival of the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati.
He had to give it his all!
Although Sanctuary powerhouses rarely risked their lives because of their extremely long lifespan, Elder Zumar had no other choice now. If he failed this time and caused a huge loss, Elder Zumar would definitely lose all his glory, and might even face the most severe punishment from the Illuminati. That was something that he would rather die than face.
