"Is this the passage to the next floor?" Connoris asked as he walked towards the stone door, and reached out to touch the light curtain tentatively. However, this light touch made him feel as if he had been electrocuted, and he jumped up with a shout.
Connoris' reaction gave Lin Li a great shock. Connoris' body was known to be even stronger than that of the ancient wyrms. How could he have such an intense reaction after just touching the light curtain? Could it be that this is not the door to the next floor?
At the thought of this, Lin Li also walked up, stretched out a finger, and slowly pointed at the light curtain. He couldn't be blamed for being so cautious. He was really a little scared of Geresco. God knew what was behind the light curtain.
"What the hell is Geresco doing!? This damned light curtain almost made my body fall apart, "Connoris said as he took two steps back, clearly a little frightened by what had happened just now.
However, as soon as Lin Li's finger touched the light curtain in the middle of the stone door, an irresistible force suddenly surged up, and pulled his entire body into the stone door.
Seeing this scene, Connoris and the two Undead servants were a little dumbfounded. Lin Li was a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse. What kind of power could make him unable to resist and get dragged into the stone door directly? Connoris hesitated for a moment, and walked up again. He imitated Lin Li's action just now, and stretched out his finger to touch the light curtain in the middle of the stone door.
However, what awaited Connoris was still the same as before, and he still felt the immense pain of being devoured by lightning. Besides, it seemed that Lin Li had not learned his lesson. The light curtain shrunk and bounced, and Connoris was actually sent flying. He smashed hard against the rock wall behind him, leaving a huge human figure behind.
However, although the situation was strange, Ujfalusi and Norfeller were not very worried, because they had a Soul Contract with Lin Li. If anything were to happen to Lin Li, the two of them would have been doomed long ago. Although they had lost their Soul Connection with Lin Li, they could feel that Lin Li was not in any danger. Besides, after seeing Connoris' miserable state, they no longer tried to enter the light curtain.
On the other side of the stone door, after Lin Li was pulled in by the irresistible force, he discovered that the scene in front of him was completely beyond his expectations. Originally, he thought that the next level of the inverted tower would be the same as the first level, a learning space where he could give pointers for a breakthrough in his strength. But now, what appeared in front of him was actually a small but somewhat spacious room. He could even feel the slight undulation under his feet as if he was in the sea.
When Lin Li walked out of the room, he was finally able to confirm his conjecture. At this moment, he was on a very large ship, surrounded by a boundless ocean. Water birds were chirping and circling around the ship, and on both sides were rolling waves.
Why was he on a ship? What was Geresco's intention in bringing him here? A large number of questions popped up in Lin Li's mind. According to the previous information, Geresco seemed to have left behind the inverted tower for the sake of allowing the person who obtained everything to reach a higher place step by step. But now, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what the surrounding scenery had to do with increasing his strength.
He looked at the surrounding scenery, and realized that the ship was obviously sailing in a certain direction. Hence, there should be someone or something controlling the ship, right? At the thought of this, Lin Li turned around and walked towards the cabin, and soon found the cockpit of the ship based on his understanding of the structure of the ship.
However, something that made Lin Li feel even more surprised happened. The ship was indeed not sailing on its own, but the one controlling it was not a person, but a short skeleton. Besides, after hearing Lin Li's entry, the little skeleton turned around without any hesitation, and said, "Welcome to The Star, my great master."
"Wait, who are you? Why are you calling me master? Where is this ship heading to?" The little skeleton's words made Lin Li even more confused. How did I somehow become the master of a skeleton? Could it be that this little skeleton was also left behind by Geresco?
"According to the previous master's instructions, the first person to set foot on The Star after him will be my new master, so you are now my master and also the owner of The Star." The Little Skeleton placed its claw-like hands in front of its chest, and its body creaked as it bowed to Lin Li before speaking respectfully.
"Previous master? Is it Geresco? " Lin Li asked again. Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still found it a little unbelievable, and he really couldn't figure out what Geresco was up to.
The little skeleton did not show the slightest bit of impatience, and the soul fire in its eye sockets flickered slightly. "Yes, my great master! Before you, the owner of The Star and I was Lord Geresco, and you're the current owner. "
Seeing that the little skeleton was being so serious, Lin Li stopped being pretentious, and continued to ask, "In that case, can you tell me where The Star is heading to now?"
Hearing Lin Li's question, the soul fire in the little skeleton's eye sockets flickered twice, and it seemed to be in a dilemma as it said, "I'm very sorry, my great master, but The Star is sailing according to the course set by Lord Geresco, and I don't know where it is heading."
The little skeleton's words made Lin Li a little speechless. After a moment of silence, he said, "Have you and The Star been sailing aimlessly at sea for thousands of years?"
In terms of time, the inverted tower had existed for at least a thousand years. If the little skeleton and The Star had been sailing at sea for thousands of years, they should have gone around the Endless Ocean by now. How could they not have reached their destination yet?
"No, my master, according to Lord Geresco's settings, The Star will only start and sail according to the preset course when you appear in the pilothouse," the little skeleton answered straightforwardly.
After asking those questions, Lin Li knew that he wouldn't be able to get any more answers. Hence, he decided to wait and see where The Star would go. Of course, while waiting, Lin Li did not stay idle, and instead carefully studied the situation of The Star. After studying it, Lin Li was really shocked. The Star was not just a large ship, but a battle fortress on the sea.
In the current world of Anril, there was probably no kingdom that could compare to the Gilded Kingdom in terms of battleships. It was not an exaggeration to say that the giant alchemical ships of the Gilded Kingdom were the most powerful battleships in Anril. The armor with amazing defensive power and the powerful cannons were definitely not something that the small ships of other kingdoms could compare to.
However, after studying The Star, Lin Li discovered that the giant alchemical ships of the Gilded Kingdom were simply trash in front of The Star. First of all, compared to the giant alchemical ships of the Gilded Kingdom, the so-called giant alchemical ships were just like small boats. In terms of offensive power, the giant alchemical ships of the Gilded Kingdom were even more incomparable. The main cannon of The Star would probably be able to blast the giant alchemical ships of the Gilded Kingdom into smithereens. The main cannons on the giant alchemical ships of the Gilded Kingdom were just the most ordinary cannons on The Star.
While having such terrifying offensive power, the defensive power of The Star also amazed Lin Li. The defensive shield used on The Star was actually a magical canopy that was somewhat similar to the Sky Castle, which was a super defensive method that could even block Nether Storms. Even if the giant alchemical ships of the Gilded Kingdom continuously fired cannons at The Star, they probably wouldn't be able to shake its defense after the magical protection was turned on.
While Lin Li was studying The Star, a huge wave suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea in the distance. Next, a massive figure that was not inferior to The Star emerged from the waves. Lin Li walked to the deck and looked at the massive creature in the distance, only to discover that it turned out to be the Nine-headed Sea Dragon that had long disappeared from Anril.
The Nine-headed Sea Dragon looked like a long-necked dinosaur from the dinosaur era, but its body was much larger, and its nine long necks were swaying in a way that would make one dizzy. Lin Li knew that the Nine-headed Sea Dragon was the overlord of the Endless Ocean during the prehistoric times, and even during the Dark Age, it was definitely a nightmare for all those who sailed on the sea.
The Nine-headed Sea Dragon was different from the magical beasts with multiple heads on land. Its nine heads had the ability to manipulate water magic, and every time one of its heads reached the peak of the Legendary-realm, a new head would grow out. The nine heads meant that there were nine powerhouses at the peak of the Legendary-realm. Although they could not break through to the Sanctuary-realm, ordinary Sanctuary-realm magical beasts would avoid them as far as they could with the nine heads that were at the peak of the Legendary-realm.
Perhaps because The Star had entered the territory of the Nine-headed Sea Dragon, the Nine-headed Sea Dragon still dashed forward fearlessly even though The Star was larger than its body. Of course, there was really nothing that could scare the Nine-headed Sea Dragon in the Endless Ocean. Even the larger Horned Whale could only become food for the Nine-headed Sea Dragon.
Seeing the Nine-headed Sea Dragon that was rushing towards The Star, Lin Li was immediately shocked. Although the little skeleton said that it was now the owner of The Star, it still had no idea how to operate it. At this juncture, encountering the Nine-headed Sea Dragon, which was known as the overlord of the sea, was obviously not something to be happy about.
Besides, Lin Li was still waiting for The Star to bring him to the destination of this trip, and he did not want to be disrupted by the Nine-headed Sea Dragon midway. Hence, before the Nine-headed Sea Dragon could approach The Star, Lin Li flew towards it, and at the same time, took out the Helios' Scepter, and launched an attack at the Nine-headed Sea Dragon.
In front of the massive Nine-headed Sea Dragon, Lin Li was like a mosquito. However, the aura of a Sanctuary powerhouse that Lin Li exuded made the Nine-headed Sea Dragon a little wary. However, it was just a little wary. After all, as the overlord of the sea, the Nine-headed Sea Dragon had dealt with Sanctuary-level marine magical beasts before.
Seeing that Lin Li was flying over, one of the heads of the Nine-headed Sea Dragon let out a roar, and a huge wave that covered the sky was stirred up and slammed towards Lin Li as if he was a mosquito. However, Lin Li was not a mosquito, and when the huge wave arrived in front of him, he flashed behind it while waving the Helios' Scepter in his hand.
As Lin Li waved the Helios' Scepter, dark clouds began to roll above the Nine-headed Sea Dragon, and large chunks of ice the size of hills whizzed towards the Nine-headed Sea Dragon's massive body. If the Nine-headed Sea Dragon had been replaced by the giant alchemical battleship of the Gilded Kingdom, it would probably have been smashed and sunk by the huge chunks of ice that fell like raindrops.
However, the Nine-headed Sea Dragon was not called the overlord of the sea for nothing. When the huge chunks of ice fell, a huge wave rose around the Nine-headed Sea Dragon, and immediately swept the falling chunks of ice into the sea. At the same time, the Nine-headed Sea Dragon did not forget about Lin Li, the culprit. Pillars of water shot out from the surface of the sea below Lin Li like a volcanic eruption in an attempt to shoot down Lin Li, who was like a mosquito.
Of course, Lin Li knew that the huge chunks of ice previously would not pose much of a threat to the Nine-headed Sea Dragon, and the reason he used that move was just to test the strength of the Nine-headed Sea Dragon. If Lin Li was just a beginner Sanctuary powerhouse, he might really be forced to panic when facing the Nine-headed Sea Dragon's attack. Unfortunately, Lin Li was now a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse who was close to the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. Although the Nine-headed Sea Dragon was equivalent to nine Legendary powerhouses at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, such power was still insignificant to a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse.
Lin Li waved the Helios' Scepter in his hand gently, and the Domain World immediately shrouded the sea. The water pillars that shot out from the sea were also suppressed by the power of the Domain World. Next, Lin Li did not waste any more time with the Nine-headed Sea Dragon, and a Light and Darkness Sword instantly condensed above the Nine-headed Sea Dragon before slashing down hard.
The Nine-headed Sea Dragon had nine heads, but only one body. When the Light and Darkness Sword cut open the Nine-headed Sea Dragon's body, it would not be enough to kill it even if it had 900 heads. Lin Li used the Light and Darkness Sword to split open the Nine-headed Sea Dragon's body, and then harvested its magical crystals.
At this moment, Lin Li also suddenly realized that it was no wonder the Nine-headed Sea Dragon became extinct in the Endless Ocean. A magical beast that could allow one to harvest nine peak Legendary magical crystals was definitely the most cost-effective deal. Of course, that was only because Lin Li was a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse. If it had been an ordinary person, he would have probably become the Nine-headed Sea Dragon's meal.
After killing the Nine-headed Sea Dragon, Lin Li returned to The Star, and continued to study the structure of The Star while waiting for it to take him to the destination.
