Hearing this, High Priest Poer stopped trying to persuade Lin Li despite feeling indignant. However, he was not completely disappointed. Saint Edmund said that they would talk about other things later, but he did not say that he would not consider this matter. As long as Saint Edmund was willing to deal with the Tower of Dusk, it would be a piece of cake for the Tower of Dusk.
After a while, the Tower of Dusk's team finally ended the battle. Although there were no casualties among the mages, they were clearly exhausted. However, before High Priest Poer could think of anything else, the mages of the Tower of Dusk had already taken out a potion each and drank it. Immediately afterwards, the mages' mana and mental strength began to recover rapidly.
This time, the people of the Gilded Kingdom were stunned again. Although they had also prepared a lot of high-level potions for this exploration, the magical effects of the potions that the mages of the Tower of Dusk had taken still made them very surprised. It was not that they had never seen such magical potions before, but it was precisely because they had seen them before that they knew that such potions were usually Master-level potions.
They were Master-level potions! No matter where they were, they would definitely be valuable and rare, yet the mages of the Tower of Dusk drank them like water! Seeing such a scene, the people of the Gilded Kingdom were really envious and jealous, and they couldn't wait to snatch those potion bottles to see if they could make a potion out of the residue.
Of course, Saint Edmund and the other two Sanctuary powerhouses were not that incompetent, but they were still rather emotional about the extravagance of the Tower of Dusk. The potions that could instantly restore mana and mental strength were usually used to save lives, and were often treated as a trump card that was only used at the most critical moment. However, the mages of the Tower of Dusk could clearly recover to a certain extent by taking a short break or using some low-level potions. Yet, they would rather consume such precious potions in order to recover to their best state. What a wastrel!
By the time the Tower of Dusk's team finished cleaning up the battlefield, the people of the Gilded Kingdom were already looking at the people of the Tower of Dusk as if they were nouveau riche. The people of the Gilded Kingdom could not understand at all. It was just a trivial battle. Was there a need to use such expensive potions?
However, on the Tower of Dusk's side, Lin Li was very satisfied with the battle just now. Originally, these rookie mages were quite talented, and they were not bad in terms of theory. After a few real battles, they quickly got into the groove. Although the performance of those mages could not be compared to the mages that Lin Li had brought to the Sky Castle, he believed that they would definitely become the elites of the Tower of Dusk after a few more battles.
In the process of advancing towards the center of the ominous island, the two teams of the Gilded Kingdom and the Tower of Dusk encountered several attacks from the ice elemental lifeforms. Besides, the closer they got to the center of the island, the more powerful the ice elemental lifeforms became. There were even quite a number of them that were close to the Sanctuary-realm.
The team of the Gilded Kingdom basically settled the battle very quickly, especially with the help of High Priest Poer, a Sanctuary powerhouse. They could be considered to have won easily every time. As for the Tower of Dusk's team, the battle would always drag on for a long time due to the fact that Lin Li wanted to train his subordinates.
In the end, the mages of the Tower of Dusk clearly could have ended the battle quickly, but Lin Li made them change to a new way of fighting, causing the battle to be prolonged again and again.
The Gilded Kingdom was naturally quite displeased with the Tower of Dusk's procrastination, especially since High Priest Poer had always disliked the people of the Tower of Dusk. However, be it negotiation or sarcasm, Lin Li remained indifferent, and continued to do what he had to do.
Faced with the negotiation of the Gilded Kingdom's team, Lin Li's response was also very simple. While watching his subordinates fight, he nonchalantly said, "If you're in a hurry, you don't have to wait for us. It doesn't matter, we can find our own way there."
How could Lin Li not understand what the Gilded Kingdom's team was up to? They just wanted his team to be cannon fodder. In particular, under the current circumstances, the Gilded Kingdom knew more about this place, while his team knew nothing about the island. Hence, it was no wonder that the Gilded Kingdom would have such a plan.
However, Lin Li had the same idea in his mind.
Hearing Lin Li's response, High Priest Poer was so infuriated that he almost vomited blood. However, Saint Edmund had spoken first, so he couldn't flare up at all. After feeling helpless, the Gilded Kingdom's team had no choice but to wait for the Tower of Dusk's team at the side after ending their battle.
Of course, High Priest Poer had also tried to help the Tower of Dusk's team get rid of the enemy. Although it seemed a little shameless to help his enemy get rid of their opponents, High Priest Poer felt much better at the thought of being able to ruin the Tower of Dusk's plan to train his troops.
However, as soon as High Priest Poer showed the intention to attack, it immediately caused Lin Li to erupt with a terrifying mana wave. Clearly, Lin Li would never allow anyone to ruin his plan. As long as High Priest Poer attacked, he would definitely suffer a thunderous counterattack.
In the end, Saint Edmund of the Gilded Kingdom stopped High Priest Poer's actions in time, and prevented the conflict between the two sides from breaking out in advance. Hence, the Gilded Kingdom's team had no choice but to wait for the Tower of Dusk's team to end their own battle.
Just like that, the two teams stopped and walked for almost a day before they finally arrived at the center of the Island of Ice. Moreover, after entering the central area, the ice elemental life forms also disappeared, and no longer appeared to attack the two teams.
Hence, the Tower of Dusk's plan to train their troops naturally had to stop. The Tower of Dusk's team did not waste any more time, and the speed of the two teams' advancement was immediately greatly increased. It was as if they could really reach their destination in the next moment.
However, before Saint Edmund and the others could rejoice for a while, an extremely terrifying aura instantly shrouded the two teams with a loud and clear chirp. Next, they saw a massive, snow-white bird-shaped magical beast in the sky that pounced towards the two teams on the ground.
"Damn it, it's the Ice Phoenix! How did this thing appear here!? "High Priest Poer couldn't help but exclaim.
It was said that during the prehistoric times, the strength of the phoenixes was probably superior to that of the ancient wyrms. However, due to the fact that the number of phoenixes was extremely small, they could not participate in the battle between the ancient wyrms and the Titans against Anril. However, in the war between the Primordius Dragons and the Titan Gods, the Phoenixes had always been a transcendent existence. Neither the Primordius Dragons nor the Titan Gods wished to push the Phoenixes into the opposing camp. Clearly, although the number of phoenixes was small, their strength was enough to make the ancient wyrms and the Titans rather fearful.
The Ice Phoenix could be said to be an anomaly among the phoenixes. Even during the prehistoric times, there were less than a handful of them. This was because the Phoenixes basically used fire as their power source, unlike the Primordius Dragons, who possessed all kinds of power source and were divided into clans based on their power source.
As the name suggested, the Ice Phoenix used the laws of ice as its source of power. Compared to the phoenixes that ordinary people knew, it was on a completely different extreme. The Ice Phoenix that appeared in front of the two teams now had strength that had reached the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. In fact, there was even a hint of the aura of a god in its massive aura. It was probably not far from stepping into the realm of the gods.
The Ice Phoenix was wrapped in crystal-clear white snow feathers, and its wings were hundreds of meters long when spread out. It also had nine long tails that resembled comets. Its body was surrounded by clouds of frost origin, causing it to exude a mysterious and majestic aura.
Even Saint Edmund and the others from the Gilded Kingdom could not say for sure whether it was the Ice Phoenix that caused the change in the ice island, or the change in the ice island that attracted the Ice Phoenix. However, the Sanctuary powerhouses all knew that the Ice Phoenix was definitely not there to chat with them.
The Ice Phoenix could definitely be said to be the strongest opponent that the two teams had encountered so far. Once the Ice Phoenix began to show its power, it would probably be a huge disaster for the rest of the two teams, except for the few Sanctuary powerhouses.
Facing such an opponent that was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, no one would be cannon fodder. Those below the Sanctuary-realm would probably be turned into ashes if they were swept by the aftershocks of the battle. Hence, the several Sanctuary powerhouses left their respective teams almost at the same time, and flew into the sky towards the Ice Phoenix.
Seeing that the few Sanctuary powerhouses were coming up to it, the Ice Phoenix didn't seem to take them seriously at all. It suddenly flapped its huge wings, and a terrifying ice storm swept towards the few Sanctuary powerhouses. In the ice storm, countless large ice crystals swirled at a high speed. Even a mountain range would probably be crushed into powder in an instant.
As soon as they saw this situation, the few Sanctuary powerhouses did not dare to slack off at all, and each immediately cast their strongest defensive spells. It wasn't that they couldn't avoid the attack of the ice storm, but that if they did, the people below would suffer. Even the peak Legendary powerhouses below probably wouldn't be able to last a second in the ice storm.
Although everyone below the Sanctuary-realm was insignificant, be it Lin Li or Saint Edmund, none of them would be willing to sacrifice the subordinates that they had nurtured.
Saint Edmund pointed the scepter in his hand forward, and a giant shield that was composed of gray light immediately appeared out of thin air in front of him. Elder Zumar and High Priest Poer even directly opened their respective Domain Worlds, which were definitely the most powerful defensive means of all Sanctuary powerhouses.
Both Elder Zumar and High Priest Poer used the Laws of Water as their foundation, so the Domain Worlds they created were also oceanic worlds. However, it could be seen from their Domain Worlds that Elder Zumar was obviously much stronger than High Priest Poer.
Elder Zumar's oceanic world had already derived many other Laws based on the Laws of Water, and the oceanic world created was full of vitality. On the other hand, High Priest Poer's oceanic world was much more monotonous. Apart from the vast sea, all the islands were just floating icebergs, and there were naturally no living creatures on them.
At this moment, Lin Li had already waved the Helios' Scepter in his hand, but he did not open his Domain World. Instead, he erected a large crystal-clear ice shield in front of him. Not only did he protect himself, but he also protected Connoris and the two Undead servants behind the large ice shield.
Seeing that Lin Li did not cast his Domain World, and instead only cast a Magic Shield like Saint Edmund, High Priest Poer was immediately filled with disdain.
Although High Priest Poer had suffered a loss during the brief battle, he didn't think that Lin Li was much stronger than him. However, Lin Li was now trying to block the terrifying attack of the Ice Phoenix with a Magic Shield, just like Saint Edmund. In his opinion, Lin Li was clearly going to make a fool of himself.
When Elder Zumar saw Lin Li's attack, he couldn't help but be shocked, and secretly blamed Lin Li for being too careless. Although he had a far deeper understanding of Lin Li's strength than High Priest Poer, he also didn't think that Lin Li's strength could be compared to Saint Edmund's.
High Priest Poer hoped that Lin Li would suffer a huge loss, and even get killed by the Ice Phoenix, but Elder Zumar had more thoughts. Although he also hoped to get rid of the young president of the Tower of Dusk, he didn't think that it was a good time now. The strength of the Ice Phoenix had already reached the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and was even vaguely touching the edge of the godhood. If they lost a Sanctuary powerhouse as soon as they started, the battle would be difficult to continue. Even if they could win in the end, they would definitely have to pay a certain price.
However, at this moment, it was too late to say anything. The Ice Phoenix wouldn't give them time to discuss. The terrifying ice storm swept over in the blink of an eye, and blasted heavily with the magic defenses of several Sanctuary powerhouses. All of a sudden, it was as if there was a sudden snowfall in the entire sky, and countless ice crystals splattered in all directions amidst the continuous roars.
High Priest Poer was still waiting to see Lin Li make a fool of himself, but he didn't expect himself to be the first to suffer. Under the ferocious impact of the ice storm, the Domain World that he had created cracked like an eggshell, and countless spatial cracks immediately appeared within it.
