Perhaps the god who created the Divine Kingdom liked to create a desert in his own Divine Kingdom! That was actually not considered rare. Although the desert was a barren and terrifying place in the eyes of ordinary people, it also contained powerful laws. Perhaps the God-king of Light that the Illuminati believed in had become a god through the laws of light in the desert, Lin Li thought to himself. He put down the sand in his hand, and stopped thinking about that issue. Instead, he followed behind the Gilded Kingdom's team with his subordinates.
Although it was already difficult to tell the direction in the endless desert, and there was no sun above their heads to guide them, and the divine might that filled the desert made it impossible for them to use their mental strength, Edmund clearly had a way to determine the direction. Under Edmund's lead, the team did not stop for a moment, and kept moving in a straight line in a certain direction in the desert.
Just like that, the two teams walked in the desert for nearly half a day. When the people in the team thought that they would continue walking peacefully, they suddenly felt the ground shaking violently, and the yellow sand seemed to have become undulating like the surface of the sea, causing them to sway unsteadily.
On the other hand, Edmund, who had been walking in front of the team, immediately had a change of expression. He waved the scepter in his hand at the empty space in front of him, after which a large fist broke through the air and blasted heavily on the yellow sand that was rolling like a wave. All of a sudden, there seemed to be a storm in the desert, and a large amount of yellow sand splattered in all directions, revealing a large sandpit. However, there was nothing in the sandpit.
Just when the people were still puzzled by Edmund's reaction, they suddenly heard a shuffling sound coming from the side of the team. Before they could turn their heads to look, a black shadow had already darted out from under the yellow sand, and pounced towards the Gilded Kingdom's team at lightning speed.
The monster that suddenly appeared was like a giant python. Half of its body was still under the yellow sand, but just its upper body that was exposed was already over a hundred meters long. The monster's body was covered with silver-white scales that emitted a faint white halo. Just by looking at it, it looked like a silver-scaled python. At most, it was a little bigger, but there was nothing strange about it.
However, looking at the monster's head, there was a long spiral horn in the middle of its forehead, emitting a bright white light, like the holy horn of a unicorn. On both sides of the monster's head, there were two curved horns like those of a demon, but this pair of horns was still wrapped in white light.
As the monster emerged from the yellow sand, two rows of light wings unfurled from its back. The pair of wings near the neck were the largest, spanning more than ten meters when spread out. They looked like the membranous wings of a bat, but they emitted a silvery-white glow. At the tip of the wings of light, there were sharp spikes that were two to three meters long and looked like sawtooth sickles. They could probably slice a person in half with a light swipe. Behind this pair of light wings were rows of light wings that gradually shrunk until they disappeared into the yellow sand. It was unknown if there were more light wings below.
Such a monster had never appeared in Anril before, and it was not just the current Anril. Even during the prehistoric times when the prehistoric magical beasts occupied the world, there were no records of such a monster. Lin Li had transmigrated from the game Endless World, and had seen many monsters that had never been seen in Anril. However, he couldn't find any information about the monster in front of him.
After the Radiant-winged Giant Python emerged from the yellow sand, it didn't give anyone the slightest time to react, and pounced straight at the Gilded Kingdom's team. Although half of its body was still buried under the yellow sand, the yellow sand naturally parted like seawater when it moved, and did not affect its movement at all.
In an instant, the Radiant-winged Giant Python had already arrived in front of the Gilded Kingdom's team, and then lowered its huge head, opening its huge mouth abruptly, after which a ray of white light blasted towards the Gilded Kingdom's team like a mana cannon shot from a Magical Crystal Cannon. This white light was like a divine punishment from the heavens. In an instant, it enveloped more than a dozen people within the range of the bombardment.
The people in the Gilded Kingdom's team were all above the Legendary-level, and if they were really facing the light of the Magical Crystal Cannons, they might not have to dodge at all. They could just rely on their defensive magic to resist it without suffering the slightest damage. However, the ray of white light that the Radiant-winged Giant Python spat out was actually its venom, or rather poisonous light. It was not something that the mana cannons could compare to.
When the white light of the Radiant-winged Giant Python blasted down, the Legendary powerhouses in the bombardment range immediately felt the terrifying power contained in the white light. However, at this moment, it was already too late for them to dodge. No one could escape the speed of light, and even though the white light was not real light, its speed was not much different.
In just an instant, the white light spat out by the Radiant-winged Giant Python had already landed on those people's heads. Only a few Legendary powerhouses in the periphery could still dodge in time, but the few in the middle were blasted. There was no violent roar, nor were there any screams or wails coming from the white light. However, the surrounding people could only watch as the few figures in the white light disappeared without a trace like shadows under the illumination of the light.
At this moment, Elder Zumar and High Priest Poer finally reacted, and the two Sanctuary powerhouses raised their staffs in unison, after which two massive magic storms swept towards the Radiant-winged Giant Python. At the same time, the other Legendary powerhouses of the Gilded Kingdom's team also immediately spread out into the distance, and launched various attacks on the Radiant-winged Giant Python.
Unfortunately, for the Radiant-winged Giant Python, the Legendary-level attacks were just like tickles. Only the attacks of the two Sanctuary powerhouses, Zumar and Poer, could make it feel a little threatened. Seeing the two magic storms blasted towards it, the Radiant-winged Giant Python did not even dodge at all. The spiral horn on its forehead suddenly emitted a ball of light, after which dazzling balls of light flew out of the void and blasted towards the two magic storms.
Lin Li had been leading the Tower of Dusk's team behind the Gilded Kingdom's team, and due to the inexplicable conflict that had occurred previously, there was a considerable distance between the two teams. Perhaps that was also the reason that when the Radiant-winged Giant Python attacked the Gilded Kingdom's team, it seemed to have ignored the Tower of Dusk's team that was following behind.
Hence, when the Gilded Kingdom was attacked, Lin Li and the Tower of Dusk's team stopped not far away, and got into a defensive formation. They neither abandoned the Gilded Kingdom's team to retreat, nor did they immediately step forward to participate in the battle. Instead, they took this opportunity to observe the Radiant-winged Giant Python that they had never seen before.
In fact, Lin Li was not the only one who did that. Even Saint Edmund, who was on the Gilded Kingdom's team, did not continue to attack, and instead watched the battle between Zumar, Poer, and the Radiant-winged Giant Python.
However, at this moment, a sand dune suddenly rose beside the Tower of Dusk's team, after which another monster broke out and swept towards the people of the Tower of Dusk's team. Fortunately, the mages of the Tower of Dusk had already prepared their defenses. Not only did they activate the War Shield, but they also cast countless layers of defensive magic spells with the Net Array.
They didn't even see what the monster that came out of the yellow sand looked like, and the monster had already swept heavily on their magic defense. The outermost layer of defense of the Tower of Dusk's team was the War Shield that was made of the magical crystal of the Golden Behemoth.
Under normal circumstances, very few forces could break the defense of the Battle Shield. Even the all-out attack of a Sanctuary powerhouse might not be able to break the defense in an instant. However, this time, the War Shield seemed to be made of glass under the attack of the monster, and it didn't even last for a second before it was shattered.
The mages of the Tower of Dusk were really shocked. Although the defense of the War Shield could not be compared to that of a real Golden Behemoth, it was definitely not something that could be broken easily. Now that the monster managed to shatter the War Shield with a single blow, how powerful must it be?
However, faced with this situation, Lin Li did not seem to be surprised at all. First of all, the strength of the monster was definitely at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and the War Shield was not an absolute defensive artifact. Hence, it was not surprising that it could be broken. Secondly, it had something to do with the environment here. The reason why the defense of the War Shield was strong was mainly because of the power of the earth. When Lin Li killed the Golden Behemoth back then, he had lured it into the sky before finally killing it. Although it looked like a desert, it was actually completely different from a desert. Hence, the War Shield naturally could not borrow power from the earth.
Although the War Shield was broken, it did play a considerable role in blocking the attack of the monster. After breaking the War Shield, the monster's attack immediately blasted on the defensive magic spells of the mages. This time, a series of explosions sounded, and the layers of magical defense were blasted apart like paper.
Back then, when the mages of the Tower of Dusk were still just Archmages, they were able to exert power that was comparable to the peak of the Legendary-realm with the help of the magic of the Net Array. Although the mages that Lin Li had brought along were still rookies in terms of combat, each of them had already stepped into the Legendary-realm. A group of Legendary-realm mages had connected their respective powers through the Net Array, and in terms of mana alone, they were probably not inferior to ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses.
However, this time, the strength of the monster that attacked them was clearly not comparable to that of ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses. With just a casual sweep, the layers of solid magical defense burst like bubbles. Besides, as the layers of magical defense broke, the mages naturally had to suffer the backlash of mana too. All of a sudden, the entire team fell into a passive state.
Ujfalusi, who was in the team, was tasked with taking care of the group of rookie mages lest there be casualties due to a moment of carelessness. Hence, he panicked when he saw the situation. Although he could not connect his mana with the mages through the Magic Net Array, his personal strength alone was already not inferior to that of a beginner-stage Sanctuary powerhouse.
Seeing that the situation was a little critical, Ujfalusi immediately raised the Dragon Bone Staff high, and countless large skeletons immediately surged out frantically around the team, forming a white wall of skeletons that protected the mages inside.
Almost at the same time that the wall of skeletons was formed, the monster's attack also arrived, and it smashed onto the wall of skeletons with a loud bang. All of a sudden, bone fragments flew in all directions, and the seemingly indestructible wall of skeletons was smashed into a huge gap. As the caster, Ujfalusi's soul fire was shaken by the terrifying power, and he was just like a candle in the wind. Clearly, he had suffered severe injuries.
After all, Ujfalusi had yet to step into the Sanctuary-realm, and even though he had reached that level of mana, he was not perfect in the use of this power. The collision with the monster allowed Ujfalusi to truly experience the horror of a Sanctuary powerhouse.
The Vampire Norfeller, who was also an Undead servant, had successfully stepped into the Sanctuary-realm by sucking the blood of the Ice Phoenix previously, and immediately possessed power that was not inferior to that of a middle-rank Sanctuary powerhouse. However, Norfeller was not good at defense, but rather at attacking or assassinating. In terms of defensive abilities, he might not even be comparable to Ujfalusi.
Hence, at this critical juncture, Norfeller, who had just advanced to the Sanctuary-realm, could not come up with any countermeasures at all. He could only emit a ray of sanguine light that shrouded the team, but he did not know how effective it would be.
However, at this moment, a faint halo suddenly rose out of thin air around the Tower of Dusk's team. If one did not pay attention, they would not be able to detect the existence of the halo at all. In the eyes of the crowd, the halo spread out like ripples, and soon came into contact with the monster that was sweeping over.
The halo that seemed to have no power suddenly erupted with an extremely powerful force after coming into contact with the monster, and it immediately bounced off the monster that was sweeping over. Afterwards, the halo trembled violently, and formed a layer of light film around the team that enveloped the entire team.
At this juncture, everyone could imagine that the only one who had the ability to do that was probably the President of the Tower of Dusk. Everyone who was safe immediately turned to look at Lin Li, only to see that the Helios' Scepter in Lin Li's hand was converging its light.
