After that, there were several regional shields that divided the sea market into several areas. The most powerful one was a seemingly substantial aquamarine magical shield that was supported by more than 100 stone pillars around Cage Island.
The aquamarine magical shield was very different from ordinary magical shields. Ordinary magical shields would burst like bubbles if they were to withstand an attack that exceeded their limits. In addition to defending against attacks, the aquamarine magical shield also had a transitional and buffering function. Once the attack exceeded the user's limit, the magic shield would absorb the attack and reduce the power of the attack as much as possible.
The magical shield was as tough as the sea, and the dense attacks of the thunderbolts that landed on the aquamarine magical shield were like raindrops falling on the sea. The weaker attacks were blocked outside, while the more powerful attacks would be weakened by the magical shield. Even if they were placed inside the magical shield, they would still be blocked by other magical shields.
Just from the aquamarine magical shield, one could see the characteristics of the power of the Seafolk. It was a kind of vast and tenacious power, and it was a very perfect use of the water elemental rule. Thanks to the protection of the magical shield, the sea market on the island did not suffer any damage even though it seemed like the end of the world outside had arrived.
However, although the sea market was still relatively safe, the ships that had just left the port or were about to enter the port were not so lucky. Although there were also various magical shields on some ships, they could only deal with ordinary sea storms. In the face of the Legendary-level thunderbolts, their defenses were as fragile as paper.
In the blink of an eye, the ships on the surface of the sea were blasted into pieces by countless lightning bolts without any resistance. Then, the wreckage was blasted into smithereens and swept away by the waves. It was as if these ships had never existed on the surface of the sea.
The people brought by Onor, the massive sea beast, and the warriors of the Sea Clan that were thrown into the sea were equally unlucky. Originally, the sea should have been a relatively safe place for them, but the sudden disaster turned the sea into their graveyard.
Lying on the deck of The Star, Onor looked at the apocalyptic scene outside the magical shield. He watched as the ships in the distance were blasted into pieces, the marine beasts that he had ridden were torn into pieces, and his subordinates turned into ashes. He was so terrified that he almost peed his pants. Now, he didn't know if he should be glad that he had been caught and brought to this large battleship. Otherwise, he would probably have ended up like his subordinates.
Lin Li raised his head and looked at the dark clouds in the sky, as if he was trying to see through them. He was rather confident in the defensive abilities of The Star. Not to mention the thunderbolts that were equivalent to Legendary-level magic spells, even the full-powered attack of a low-level Sanctuary powerhouse might not be able to easily tear through the defenses of The Star.
What really worried Lin Li was the familiar aura that made him feel that it was violent, dark, and evil. In his memory, he vaguely remembered that it belonged to a terrifying existence. Although he couldn't connect the aura with the powerhouses in his memory, he knew that the terrifying existence was definitely not something that he could contend with with his current strength.
At this moment, a large hole suddenly appeared in the dark clouds in the sky, and a massive object that was the size of a hill fell from the hole like a meteor. That huge object was wrapped in a thick black aura, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Just like that, the massive object smashed into the sea near Cage Island in the blink of an eye, immediately stirring up huge waves that were hundreds of meters high, as if they were going to blast the seawater into the sky. Cage Island looked incomparably small in the face of the huge waves. If it weren't for the blue magical shield outside, it would have been swept away by the huge waves.
Seeing such a scene, especially when he felt the aura emitted by the falling behemoth, a piece of information suddenly flashed in Lin Li's mind. He remembered that he had gone to Cage Island to assist the Gilded Kingdom previously. When did Cage Island become the place where the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction was sealed? Even the Gilded Kingdom did not have a clear answer. Before their ancestors sealed the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction, it was said that the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction had already been on Cage Island for an unknown period of time.
Could this scene be the scene when the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction was sealed for the first time? Lin Li couldn't help but think of such a possibility, because it seemed that there was still a long time before the ancestors of the Gilded Kingdom sealed the dragon corpse for the second time.
Seemingly to confirm Lin Li's conjecture, a massive palm emerged from the dark clouds in the sky after the huge waves that were stirred up by the massive object fell. The massive palm was completely condensed with mana, and was somewhat similar to the one that Lin Li had used to capture Onor previously. However, it was much larger. The massive palm that stretched out from the dark clouds would probably be able to press Cage Island into the sea with just one finger.
Besides, the giant hand that was condensed with mana was much more agile than the Magic Hand that Lin Li had cast. It was just like a living palm. The massive palm was extremely agile, and it quickly made three mysterious gestures in the sky. The three gestures seemed to be a kind of hand gesture that a mage would make when casting a spell, but even with Lin Li's current knowledge in magic, he could not see through the Laws contained in the three gestures.
When the first gesture was completed, the sea around Cage Island boiled to the extreme like a boiling pot, as if all the seawater in the sea had been flipped over. At the same time, the thunderbolts that fell from the sky suddenly became more powerful, and they were simply massive pillars of lightning that continuously blasted down.
However, the second gesture made the entire space fall into dead silence, and the scene of the raging waves instantly calmed down. The surface of the sea seemed to have been frozen, and it had completely turned into a smooth mirror. There were no waves at all. The thunderbolts that were constantly falling from the dark clouds like a rainstorm also disappeared without a trace. The violent magical elements in the space seemed to have encountered something that made them extremely fearful, and they all froze in place, not daring to move at all.
With the completion of the third gesture, the sea around Cage Island immediately surged again, but it was far from the doomsday-like scene at the beginning. Instead, it was just like an ordinary sea storm. At the same time, the dark clouds in the sky also began to recede like the tide. In the blink of an eye, the original blue sky was revealed, and the sun shrouded the sea again.
"This …" Onor felt that the pressure on his body had suddenly disappeared, but he dared not immediately stand up from the ground. Instead, he simply lay there and stared blankly at everything in front of him. All the changes just now had completely exceeded his imagination. He really couldn't imagine who could have such terrifying power.
At this moment, Lin Li also didn't move, and just stared at the sky that had already dissipated like before. Although he still couldn't understand the mystery contained in the three gestures just now, he was already very sure that it was a kind of sealing method used to suppress the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction. Based on the era of this world, it was obvious that the one who sealed the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction couldn't be the ancestor of the Gilded Kingdom. Hence, it could only be the Immortal King.
Lin Li couldn't understand why the Immortal King would appear in the world created by Geresco. Could it be that Geresco had arranged such a world and such a scene for the inheritor to see the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction sealed by the Immortal King?
At this moment, Lin Li suddenly discovered that a figure flashed in the sky, and then flew straight towards the depths of the Endless Ocean without even looking at Cage Island. Is that the Immortal King? Or Geresco? According to the real history of Anril, the one who had just sealed the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction should undoubtedly be the Immortal King. However, since this world was created by Geresco, who could play the role of the Immortal King in his world?
No matter what, Lin Li felt that if he wanted to know the answer, the Immortal King would probably be the best person to ask. However, he did not immediately take action, and instead chased after the Immortal King who was flying towards the depths of the Endless Ocean. Instead, he grabbed Onor, pointed in that direction, and asked, "Tell me, what's special over there?"
Lin Li didn't think that the Immortal King was flying aimlessly, so there had to be something in the depths of the Endless Ocean that was attracting him. Besides, judging from the way the Immortal King had sealed the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction just now, the Immortal King seemed to be in a hurry. According to the history of Anril, the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction later broke the seal, and brought a huge disaster to the Gilded Kingdom. Hence, the ancestors of the Gilded Kingdom sealed it again.
However, with the Immortal King's ability, he wouldn't be able to break the seal on the Dragon of Destruction's corpse after 1,000 years, even if he couldn't seal it forever. That was enough to show that the Immortal King was actually a little hasty when he sealed the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction at this time.
Besides, Lin Li thought of another clue, which was the stone slab of the barbarians that he had obtained after clearing the Barbarous Arena. According to the stone slab, the Immortal King had once descended to the territory of the barbarians, and plundered almost all of their wealth to build a very powerful battleship. Of course, that seemed to be somewhat different from what Lin Li was seeing now. The Immortal King did not ride a battleship. However, that was not the point. The point was that the stone slab also pointed out that the Immortal King had gone to the Endless Ocean.
In that case, what exactly was there in the Endless Ocean that could make the Immortal King so anxious? Lin Li knew almost nothing about the Endless Ocean. Hence, he thought of Onor, the captive of the Sea Clan that he had just captured. Since Onor was the supervisor of this sea market, he obviously had a certain status among the Sea Clan. Hence, he should have obtained plenty of information about the Endless Ocean.
"What? Over there … "However, after hearing Lin Li's question, Onor became a little hesitant, and did not answer as straightforwardly as before. Clearly, he had some concerns.
Onor's behavior piqued Lin Li's interest even more. He waved the Life Commendation potion again, and said, "Tell me what special existence there is in the direction of the Endless Ocean, and this potion will be yours."
Onor hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of the Life Commendation. He said, "That direction leads to the center of the Endless Ocean, which is the sacred land of the Sea Clan."
The main reason why Onor revealed that piece of information was that he didn't see the Immortal King flying over at all. At the same time, he didn't think that Lin Li would be able to break into the heavily guarded sacred land of the Sea Clan with just a battleship. Although he already knew that Lin Li had Sanctuary-level power, how could the Sea Clan not have a Sanctuary powerhouse since they could fight against the High Elves?
"Sea race's holy land?" His answer was somewhat unexpected to Lin Li. Could it be that the Immortal King is going to the sacred land of the Sea Clan for something? At this moment, he remembered that in the real history of Anril, it was said that the Sea Clan, which was once feared by the High Elves, seemed to have declined overnight. After the Dark Age ended, the Sea Clan rarely appeared in front of people, and people even called the people of the Gilded Kingdom the Sea Clan. They had completely forgotten what the real Sea Clan was like.
If the Immortal King had really gone to the sacred land of the Sea Clan, could the sudden decline of the Sea Clan be caused by the Immortal King? With the Immortal King's strength, it didn't seem to be very difficult for him to do that. After all, he had even killed the Dragon of Destruction, one of the Dragon Aspects.
However, why did the Immortal King do that? Was he clearing the obstacles for the High Elves' rule? However, the High Elves were just afraid of the Sea Clan. If the High Elves really wanted to develop towards the Endless Ocean, the Sea Clan probably wouldn't be able to resist them. Hence, there was no need for the Immortal King to deal with the Sea Clan personally for the sake of the development of the High Elves.
In that case, what exactly was in the sacred land of the Sea Clan that attracted the Immortal King? Lin Li looked at Onor again. He probably had to ask the real Sea Clan what exactly was in the sacred land of the Sea Clan.
