Due to the fact that Xiao Hua had devoured the magical crystal of an adult Elemental Dragon, Xiao Hua persisted until the end of the exploration of the Sky Castle, but it began to fall into a deep slumber after it returned. During this period of slumber, Xiao Hua finally completely absorbed and transformed the power of the Elemental Dragon's magical crystal into its own.
Although Littleflower's size hadn't changed much, he no longer had that childish aura around him. Although it had yet to truly step into the Sanctuary-realm and become an adult Elemental Dragon, its strength was not inferior to any Sanctuary powerhouse. In fact, in terms of mana alone, Lin Li, a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse with infinite mana, might not be comparable to Xiao Hua.
After Xiao Hua came out of Dream Garden, it first circled Lin Li twice while chirping happily before turning to face the nine-headed manticore that was rushing over. The terrifying magic storm immediately swept towards the nine-headed manticore. The power of each magic storm that Xiao Hua had cast was probably not inferior to the full blow of a powerhouse who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm. Countless peak Legendary-level magic spells were gathered together, and the power was definitely enough to make heaven and earth change color. If they were to blast at the island below, it would probably disappear in the blink of an eye.
After summoning Xiao Hua, Lin Li did not stop, and instead took out the Summoning Lamp. After chanting a few simple incantations, a massive and bloated body appeared in mid-air. It looked like a huge worm, and although it had a pair of wings on its back, they had long lost their function. Its massive body floated in mid-air in a ridiculous manner.
The monster was none other than the Lord Devourer, Garl, that Lin Li had subdued in the Well of the Sun. For some unknown reason, Angelano and Garl would quarrel non-stop whenever they met, and they even seemed to be on the verge of getting into a fight. Hence, apart from letting Garl out occasionally, Lin Li had always sealed it in the Summoning Lamp, and brought it out with him this time.
After Garl appeared in mid-air, the attacks of the nine-headed manticore surged towards him like a tidal wave before he could complain to Lin Li. In the face of the delicious food that was delivered to his doorstep, Garl temporarily put aside the unhappiness of being locked up for so long, and opened his huge, sky-devouring mouth at the nine-headed manticore.
The reason why the Nine-Headed Manticore was terrifying was that its nine heads had nine powerful innate spells, and it also had nine Sanctuary-level magical crystals to provide mana. Facing a nine-headed manticore, especially one that was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, was like facing nine powerhouses who were close to the peak of the Sanctuary-realm at the same time. Not everyone could take it.
However, the Lord Devourer, Garl, had the ability to devour everything. The overwhelming magic was just like a delicious feast to him. If the nine-headed manticore contained a trace of godly power like the dragon corpse of the Dragon of Destruction, Garl would probably be courting death by swallowing it rashly. But now, even though the nine-headed manticore's magic power was massive, it still belonged to the mortal world, so Garl could naturally devour it smoothly.
On one hand, the Elemental Dragon Xiao Hua cast a magic storm attack, while on the other hand, the Lord Devourer Garl was devouring frantically. The momentum of the nine-headed manticore's attack was immediately weakened. Lin Li naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity. The seven pieces of the debris of the stars flew out of the Ring of Endless Storm one after another, and the seven terrifying forces condensed into a World Sword that slashed at the nine-headed manticore.
At the same time, The Star also received a mental message from Lin Li on the surface of the sea below, and all of its offensive weapons were raised and pointed at the nine-headed manticore in midair. The massive Magical Crystal Cannons, ordinary Magical Crystal Cannons, offensive mageweaths, and Alchemy Arrays were all activated.
After a few seconds of charging, all of the weapons on The Star roared almost at the same time, and the mana cannons, the Exploding Harpoons, and all sorts of offensive magic spells were instantly cast at the nine-headed manticore from the surface of the sea.
If the nine-headed manticore had even a trace of godly power, Lin Li would probably have no choice but to flee. However, the situation was completely different now, and the attacks from the sea and sky instantly drowned the nine-headed manticore. The powerful Shield of Earth shattered under the bombardment of the World Sword, and all of the attacks landed on the nine-headed manticore immediately afterwards.
After a series of roars, everything finally calmed down, and the nine-headed manticore's body that was covered in wounds fell towards the sea like a meteor. However, Lin Li waved the Helios' Scepter, and a giant mana hand appeared out of thin air, scooped up the nine-headed manticore's corpse, and instantly kept it in the Ring of Endless Storm.
After dealing with the nine-headed manticore, Lin Li surrendered to the pitiful gaze of the Elemental Dragon Xiao Hua, and let it go to the island to devour the magical elements that had been accumulated by the Void Spirit Mageweath for an unknown period of time. As for Garl, Lin Li didn't stand on ceremony, and simply turned the Summoning Lamp in his hand to put Garl, whose eyes were filled with resentment, away.
Lin Li returned to the island, and when the disheveled crowd looked at him, there was more respect in their eyes! The nine-headed manticore was a powerful mythical existence that could contend with the gods, and yet, it was killed just like that! That gave them a better understanding of Lin Li's terrifying strength.
Without the disturbance of the nine-headed manticore, the work of inscribing the Void Spirit Mageweath began, and after another day and night, the inscription was finally completed.
After recalling the Elemental Dragon Xiao Hua, who was patting its belly and burping, Lin Li brought everyone back to board The Star. In the past few days, the damage that The Star had suffered had already been repaired, and after receiving Lin Li's order, it immediately set sail and left the island according to the original plan.
However, after The Star set sail again, it did not rush to leave, and instead maintained a steady speed, looking rather leisurely. In the beginning, Joseph deliberately asked Lin Li about it twice, but when he saw that Lin Li didn't seem to care, he had no choice but to keep quiet in the end.
Of course, apart from Joseph, the others also found it very strange, but when The Star stopped near another island, they finally knew Lin Li's plan. Actually, Lin Li's plan was not complicated, and he just wanted to use this opportunity to explore the sea.
The appearance of the island with the Void Spirit Mageweath previously was sufficient to show that no one had entered the sea for many years. Otherwise, the island would have probably been discovered by others long ago, and Lin Li and the others who were new to the sea wouldn't have been there. Not to mention the Gilded Kingdom that had dominated the Endless Ocean for thousands of years, even the people who made a living at sea along the coast of the Breezy Plains had all lived at sea longer than Lin Li and the others. If the island with the Void Spirit Mageweath was near a certain sea route, the phenomenon of the rapid gathering of magical elements would have long attracted the attention of others.
Besides, Lin Li also had a huge question in his heart, and that was the origin of the Magic Tower. Who built the tower there, drew the Divine-Smith-level Void Spirit Mageweath, and even locked a nine-headed manticore in the tower? Lin Li did not know where to find the answers to those questions, and had no choice but to pin his hopes on the various islands in the sea in an attempt to find some clues.
Of course, Lin Li would not put everything aside and specially stop in the sea to explore carefully. He was actually just trying his luck now. It would naturally be good if he could make some discoveries, but if he really did not find anything, he would have to continue with his original plan, and leave the sea for future exploration.
In fact, apart from Lin Li, the others were also full of doubts about everything that had happened on the island previously. Hence, they did not show much objection to Lin Li's approach, and instead seemed rather enthusiastic about exploring the sea. After all, who wouldn't want to make a huge fortune? If they could explore some ancient ruins, they would really make a huge profit.
"President Felic, why did you stop again? We can see everything on this island at a glance. There can't be any hidden place, right?" Joseph initially didn't want to say anything more, but when The Star stopped near a barren island again, he couldn't help but ask anxiously.
In Joseph's opinion, it would be reasonable for the ship to stop and explore the island that was full of forests or had a peculiar structure. But now, it was a barren island with nothing at all. From one side, one could see the other side. Even if a puddle of bird droppings fell on it, one could see it clearly. What was there to explore?
That made Joseph wonder if President Felic was really exploring something, or if he was simply using that as an excuse to stall for time. This time, the various forces were invited to the Gilded Kingdom's founding celebration, and it was a good opportunity for the Gilded Kingdom to build a good relationship with them. However, that did not seem to be beneficial to the Tower of Dusk.
After all, the Tower of Dusk could be said to be the greatest obstacle to the Gilded Kingdom's further development in the Breezy Plains, and the two forces were destined to become rivals. If the Gilded Kingdom roped in a few more forces of the Breezy Plains, the Tower of Dusk would have fewer supporters, and that was a problem.
Hence, Joseph had such a suspicion in his heart. If the Tower of Dusk was deliberately stalling for time and making them miss the Gilded Kingdom's founding celebration, it would undoubtedly be a great benefit to the Tower of Dusk.
Of course, Joseph was not foolish enough to raise that question directly. In fact, he didn't even mention it to the others. After all, they were on The Star, and he didn't want to be thrown into the sea halfway through. Besides, a guess was just a guess, and it was completely a matter of free evaluation. There would be no proof until the final result was out.
At this moment, Claus and the others also found it a little strange, but they didn't ask about it like Joseph did. However, their eyes were still full of bewilderment. After all, the island was too simple, and it couldn't even be considered an island. It was more like a boulder submerged in the sea.
However, Lin Li did not immediately answer their doubts, and instead smiled at them. "Why don't you attack that stone and see who can smash it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was even more confused, but they still followed Lin Li's instructions and tried to attack the stone. However, with this attack, everyone saw something even stranger. Regardless of whether it was magic or Dou Qi, after blasting against the boulder, there was not even a sound before it disappeared. In the beginning, they just casually threw a few fireballs and waved two energy slashes, but later on, they couldn't help but increase the intensity of their attacks, and even used almost all of their strength. However, the boulder remained undamaged despite the bombardment.
"This?" At this moment, everyone finally knew what was strange about the stone. They were all Legendary powerhouses, and even if it was a piece of steel, it would have long been blasted into pieces, let alone a stone.
Seeing that everyone had stopped what they were doing and were looking at him with bewilderment, Lin Li smiled and flew away from The Star before landing on the boulder in the distance. Next, a spear appeared in his hand, which was none other than the spear transformed from the debris of the stars, Nothingness, which had the power to cut through everything.
Holding the Nothingness Spear, Lin Li slashed the boulder in a seemingly casual manner, and a large number of stones were cut off. He casually slashed the stone a few times like he was peeling an egg, and the stones fell into the sea one by one. Finally, a ray of blue light emerged. His movements became faster and faster, and in a few moments, he had peeled off the shell of the boulder that was exposed on the sea surface, revealing a large azure crystal.
"This … This is the Heart of the Ocean?" After seeing the azure crystal, everyone on The Star couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief.
The Heart of the Ocean was a special product of the Endless Ocean, and was a very pure water-type magical gem that was known as the holy relic of the Sea Clan during the Dark Age. However, in their memory, the largest one they had seen was probably only the size of a baby's fist, and that was already considered a supreme-grade Heart of the Ocean. A nail-sized Heart of the Ocean could be sold for tens of millions of gold coins, and those that were the size of a baby's fist could not be measured by gold coins at all.
In addition to containing very pure water-type mana, the Heart of the Ocean also had a very great ability, and that was to absorb and convert offensive power of any attribute into water-type mana. Of course, there was also a limit to the absorption. In addition to factors such as the size and purity of the Heart of the Ocean, the strength of the wearer also had a considerable impact. In other words, the stronger the wearer was, the more they could exert the power of the Heart of the Ocean. Hence, with such an accessory that was embedded with the Heart of the Ocean, there was basically no need to worry about the problem of being eliminated in the future.
