Soon, a Minotaurs that was nearly 10 meters tall appeared in front of Lin Li and the others while riding on a two-headed Manticore that was the size of a hill. The Minotaurs had power that was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and was many times stronger than the one Lin Li had seen in the crack of the Eternal Darkness Altar. It was probably even stronger than the evil dragon Nefa. The two-headed Manticore that the Minotaurs was riding also had powerful strength that was close to the peak of the Sanctuary-realm.
The combination of the Minotaurs and the two-headed Manticore was an existence that no one would dare to provoke easily, even in the Meditation Land that was full of Sanctuary-realm magical beasts. That was also the reason that Lin Li chose them first. In his opinion, this place should be the most likely place to have a passage.
In order to save time and deter the other magical beasts at the same time, Lin Li did not hold back at all. He pointed the Helios' Scepter in his hand, and the light of the seven basic Laws instantly converged into a World Sword that cut through the space and slashed at the Minotaurs.
The Minotaurs had lived in this space for thousands of years, and it had never seen anyone who dared to provoke it. As soon as it saw Lin Li and the others attacking it, the Minotaurs immediately flew into a rage, and waved the giant steel fork in its hand before smashing it against the World Sword.
At the same time, the two-headed Manticore that the Minotaurs was riding also opened its huge mouth at Lin Li and the others, and shot a dazzling and fatal ray of light. It was a two-headed Manticore that was close to the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and the magic ray that it shot out was many times more powerful than the cannons on the battleships of the Gilded Kingdom.
However, in the face of the magic ray shot out by the two-headed Manticore, Lin Li did not dodge at all, and instead opened his Domain World. At the same time that the magic ray shot into the Domain World, the World Sword that Lin Li cast also collided with the steel fork of the Minotaurs.
With a violent roar, the steel fork in the hand of the Minotaurs broke inch by inch. After the World Sword shattered the steel fork, it slashed at the head of the Minotaurs without stopping at all. The only ones that could resist Lin Li's World Sword were probably the Golden Behemoths and the ancient wyrms that were known for their defense. Although the Minotaurs were extremely strong, they clearly did not have the insane defense of the Golden Behemoths.
Fortunately, the Minotaurs reacted quickly enough. It immediately urged the two-headed manticore it was sitting on to dodge into the distance. However, the Minotaurs had been careless, after all. It seemed like the peaceful life that had lasted for thousands of years had made it forget how to fight. Although the World Sword looked like a sword, it was essentially still magic. It was an aggregation of nomological power, and the blade was not the only thing that hurt.
Although the Minotaurs dodged the blade of the sword, it was still blasted by the power of the World Sword. Its tall and sturdy body, as well as the two-headed manticore that it was sitting on, were blasted away by the power of the World Sword. Blood splattered all over the place as if it was raining blood.
In just two or three rounds, the Minotaurs and the two-headed Manticore were destroyed by Lin Li's World Sword without Connoris and the others needing to help at all. The two Sanctuary-level magical crystals landed in Lin Li's hands as the World Sword dissipated.
Even Connoris was dumbfounded as he watched from the side. He did not know if he should say that the enemy was too weak, or that Lin Li was too strong. If the enemy was weak, the Minotaurs was a powerhouse at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and there was a two-headed Manticore that was close to the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. How could they be weak? However, Lin Li was too strong. That kid was not even at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and he was probably about the same level as the two-headed Manticore. How could he be considered strong?
As for Ujfalusi and Norfeller, they also felt the huge gap between them and Lin Li, and they also thought that if they continued to develop like this, they probably wouldn't be able to provide much help to Lin Li in future battles. With this thought in mind, their desire to increase their strength became even more urgent.
After dealing with the Minotaurs and the two-headed Manticore, Lin Li immediately led Connoris and the two Undead servants to search the lair of the Minotaurs. However, to Lin Li's disappointment, he did not find any clues related to the passage even after searching every corner of the maze-like lair.
However, Lin Li was already mentally prepared. Since Geresco did not lay out the passage, he would definitely have to put in a lot of effort to find it. Hence, after searching the Minotaurs to no avail, Lin Li immediately led Connoris and the others to the next target that he had already chosen.
It had to be said that Sanctuary-level magical beasts did have considerable intelligence. The World Sword that Lin Li had just cast and the powerful aura of the World Power had a considerable deterrent effect on many magical beasts. When they flew all the way to the next target, the magical beasts along the way avoided them, and none of them dared to come out to cause trouble for them.
However, even then, Lin Li's search was definitely not smooth. After the Minotaurs, they searched the lair of several Sanctuary-level magical beasts, but they still did not find any trace of the passage. However, the battles that they encountered were far more troublesome than at the beginning. Connoris and the two Undead servants also began to join the battle. After all, Sanctuary-level magical beasts could be said to be beyond the scope of magical beasts. They were more and more intelligent and cunning.
After a few consecutive battles, Lin Li obtained a few more Sanctuary-level magical crystals, but he still had no clue about the clues of the passage. Fortunately, they were in Geresco's Meditation Land, and the mana that Lin Li and Connoris had consumed could be recovered extremely quickly. Otherwise, they would have no choice but to return at this time.
At this moment, Lin Li, Connoris, and the others were in a deep valley in the Meditation Land. There was an aura of death in the deep valley, but there was no smell of decay. It seemed to be a pure aura of the end of life. Following the Sanctuary-level aura that was sensed by their mental strength, Lin Li and the others flew all the way to the depths of the deep valley.
If there was nothing here, he would have to reconsider whether the passage existed or not! In fact, Lin Li had already said that to himself more than once, but humans were strange, and there would always be an endless last time. They had already explored several such deep valleys, and this time, Lin Li did not have much hope, either.
All of a sudden, an incomparably powerful mental shock swept towards Lin Li and the others from the deep valley like a tsunami. Even with Lin Li's massive mental strength, he could not withstand it for a while, while Ujfalusi and Norfeller were blasted away by the pure mental shock. Connoris froze on the spot, and seemed to have lost control of his body in an instant due to the mental shock.
Lin Li endured the headache, and hurriedly raised the Helios' Scepter in his hand, after which a light curtain was immediately erected in front of him. Under the mental shock, he could immediately see the layers of ripples stirred up on the light curtain, as if there was a massive creature that was about to rush out of the water.
Seeing this scene, Lin Li couldn't help but gasp. Such a powerful mental shock would probably cause the heads of those below the Sanctuary-realm to explode.
Then, from the shadows of the deep valley, a ferocious-looking monster slowly crawled out. The monster had the head of a lion, but its body was like that of a python, and it was densely covered with obsidian-like scales. On both sides of the python-like body, there were four thick limbs, and its sharp claws left deep claw marks on the rocks like cutting tofu.
Seeing the appearance of the monster, Connoris, who had just regained control of his body, couldn't help but exclaim, "This is … Asgor, why is there such a thing here!?"
"Asgor?" Connoris' exclamation of the name immediately made Lin Li think of a myth that had been circulating in Anril.
Legend had it that the God of Death was in charge of the final destination of all living beings. Due to the fear and isolation of the gods, he raised all sorts of terrifying creatures in his palace, and the monster Asgor was one of the best of them. The monster fed on the souls of the dead, and had powerful Soul Power. It was also given magic to manipulate death by the God of Death.
During the prehistoric times, Asgor might not have been the most powerful prehistoric magical beast, but it was definitely the most terrifying one. Wherever Asgor passed, it would take away the lives of all living beings, and even the ancient wyrms and the Titans would not be spared. They would only leave a lifeless land of death.
Although that was only a myth, Lin Li could feel from the mental shock just now that even the Lord of Souls in the abyss was far from being a match for Asgor in terms of Soul Power.
At this moment, Asgor had already completely emerged from the shadows, and it opened its bloody mouth in front of Lin Li and the others as if it was letting out a silent roar. All of a sudden, an even more powerful mental shock caused the space to distort, and it collided with the light curtain that Lin Li had erected. In an instant, the defensive light curtain that Lin Li had erected burst like a bubble.
Before Lin Li could react, he felt as if his head had been smashed by a heavy hammer, and it was as if his soul was about to be shaken out of his body at once. As for Connoris and the two Undead servants, they were in an even worse state. Connoris' body was not his in the first place, and the compatibility between his soul and body was not high enough. Besides, the two Undead servants were even less resistant to attacks on the soul.
