The Tower of Dusk's team naturally had another intention, and that was to let the mages of the team get as much training as possible. The mages would not be able to intervene in battles at the level of the Titans and the Radiant-winged Giant Python. If they were accidentally involved in the aftershocks of the battle, they would all end up turning into ashes. Hence, when an opponent like the Radiant Giant Scorpion appeared, Lin Li naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to train his subordinates.
On the other hand, Lin Li was actually seizing the time to study the power of the incarnation of the Serpent of Light, Shagar, in the debris of the stars, Holy Light. Lin Li didn't just use it as a trump card, but also hoped to find out the secrets of the Divine Kingdom from it.
The Divine Kingdom was something that only the gods could possess, although it seemed a little too early for Lin Li to consider the issue of creating a Divine Kingdom with his current strength. However, after hearing Connoris' description of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness, Lin Li thought of another use. If he could simulate the power of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness, and apply it to his Domain World, what kind of changes would there be in the Domain World?
Lin Li was not being delusional. Others might not be able to realize such an idea at all, but he had the two pieces of the debris of the stars, Holy Light and Gloomy Dark. The two pieces of the debris of the stars contained the purest power of light and darkness. As long as Lin Li could comprehend even the slightest bit of mystery from the power of the Serpent of Light Shagar, he would be able to obtain unimaginable gains.
The battle with the Radiant Giant Scorpion of Light soon ended. Be it the team of the Gilded Kingdom or the team of the Tower of Dusk, there were no casualties in this battle. The Gilded Kingdom had originally brought the elites of the Legendary powerhouses, and each of them could be said to have experienced hundreds of battles. Hence, there naturally wouldn't be any accidents when dealing with a battle of such a level.
As for the group of rookie mages from the Tower of Dusk, although they had not experienced many battles since they arrived, the aura of rookies on them had gradually faded away. After all, each and every battle was not a joke. They had to bet their lives on it. If they were not careful, not only would they harm themselves, they would also harm their companions. Such a battle was even more training than when they had gone to the Barbarous Arena in the Tower of Dusk.
It seemed that the two teams had walked out of the territory of the Radiant-winged Giant Python. After dealing with the group of Radiant Scorpions, various magical beasts began to appear along the way. However, these magical beasts all had a common characteristic, and that was that they all used the power of light. Clearly, this was caused by the environment here. Apart from Radiant Scorpions, there were also Gryphons, Earth Dragons, and even Sandworms.
However, just as everyone thought that the light would continue to shine, a strange phenomenon appeared in the desert that caught everyone's attention. The desert was originally bright, but they discovered that in the distance, a layer of black fog was gradually shrouding it. In the middle of the black fog, there was a black whirlwind that was constantly spinning in place.
Initially, Edmund and the others did not care much, and were prepared to lead the team in the original direction. However, after seeing the black fog, Lin Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he thought of the incarnation of Intoro, the Serpent of Darkness that Connoris had mentioned.
The Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness were originally a pair. The incarnation of the Serpent of Light had already been killed, but the incarnation of the Serpent of Darkness had never appeared. Hence, Lin Li, who wanted to obtain the mysteries of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness, had been thinking about it. On the one hand, he was worried that the incarnation of the Serpent of Darkness would suddenly appear and catch him off guard. After all, it was a powerful existence that was close to the gods. However, on the other hand, he was afraid that the incarnation of the Serpent of Darkness had already ceased to exist. In that case, it would probably be almost impossible for him to obtain the mysteries of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness.
After seeing the black fog in the distance, Lin Li immediately thought of the incarnation of the Serpent of Darkness that he was looking for. In this environment that was full of light, there was probably nothing else that could maintain such a special existence apart from the incarnation of the Serpent of Darkness.
This time, Lin Li did not run over directly, and instead greeted Edmund, who was in front of him, and said that he was going there to check it out. In fact, Lin Li was not an unreasonable person, but when Edmund showed him a cold face, he naturally couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him. Ever since the battle with the Radiant-winged Giant Python, Edmund's attitude had gradually changed, and Lin Li no longer made things difficult for them.
Of course, there was a more important reason, and that was that Lin Li was still uncertain about the situation of the incarnation of the Serpent of Darkness if it was really the incarnation of Intora. If the situation of the Serpent of Darkness was the same as that of the Radiant-winged Giant Python, Lin Li would naturally need a few helpers.
Previously, Lin Li had unearthed the temple, and in the end, he discovered a secret that even Edmund didn't know. At this time, Edmund naturally wouldn't miss out on what Lin Li was going to investigate.
As expected, when he heard that Lin Li was going there to check out the situation, Edmund immediately said that he wanted to tag along. However, Elder Zumar and High Priest Poer were left in the team to prevent any accidents from happening at this time that would cause unnecessary casualties to the team.
Lin Li and Edmund soon arrived at the place that was shrouded in the black fog. The black fog was actually very faint, and it looked as if it would dissipate at any time. However, because the surroundings were filled with light, it seemed more eye-catching. Otherwise, a black fog of this level would not attract anyone's attention in the outside world.
In the thin black fog, there was a black tornado that was constantly rotating. Although it seemed to be more than 10 meters tall, its core was only as tall as a person. Besides, the speed at which the black tornado was rotating was also extremely slow, just like an old man in his twilight years.
As soon as he walked into the thin black fog, Lin Li felt an aura that was very similar to the aura of the incarnation of the Serpent of Light. Without any suspense, Lin Li confirmed that the black tornado had evolved from the incarnation of the Serpent of Light.
Initially, Lin Li was a little puzzled as to why the Ancient God of Light would leave the incarnation of the Serpent of Light behind after destroying the Divine Kingdom of the God of Bravery. However, it seemed that there was an answer to everything now. The incarnation of the Serpent of Light had most likely failed to escape that calamity. However, as the Ancient God of Light was suppressed by the Immortal King, the incarnation of the Serpent of Light might have been reborn with the help of the Power of Light emitted by the Ancient God of Light.
The Serpent of Light was unlucky. Every inch of the space here was filled with the Power of Light, making it unable to obtain enough Dark Force to be reborn. In the end, it became what it was now under the wear and tear of the Power of Light. If Lin Li and Edmund had come a few decades later, the incarnation of the Serpent of Darkness might have already disappeared.
At this moment, Lin Li couldn't be bothered to explain anything to Edmund, and simply took out the debris of the stars, Gloomy Dark, and threw it into the center of the black tornado. As Gloomy Dark fell, the black tornado that was originally rotating slowly seemed to have been rejuvenated, and suddenly accelerated its rotation. However, the volume of the entire tornado also continuously shrank as it rotated rapidly.
Seeing this scene, Edmund could guess what Lin Li was doing even if he didn't ask. Clearly, Lin Li was using some magical equipment to absorb the Dark Force. However, what made him feel puzzled was that the Dark Force was actually not that powerful. In fact, it was probably not comparable to the magic cast by a Sanctuary powerhouse. What was the use of Lin Li absorbing the Dark Force?
However, although Edmund was puzzled, he didn't ask Lin Li anything. After all, even though the relationship between the two of them had eased, it had not reached the point where they could talk about everything. If he were to ask Lin Li now, it would definitely have a negative impact on the relationship between the two of them, regardless of whether Lin Li answered or not. If he couldn't even think of that, he would really be a Saint for nothing.
Soon, Lin Li retracted Gloomy Dark, and used his mental strength to detect the Dark Force that he had captured. Indeed, compared to the power of the incarnation of the Serpent of Light, the Dark Force was like an ant compared to an elephant. However, what he wanted was not a massive amount of Dark Force in the first place. Even if there was only a trace of it, it would be enough for him to get a glimpse of the mysteries of the power of the Serpent of Darkness.
After putting away Gloomy Dark, Lin Li smiled at Edmund, and said, "It's just a mass of Dark Force. Seems like it won't provide us with any useful information. Let's continue on our way."
Since Lin Li refused to talk about the Dark Force, Edmund couldn't ask further. Hence, he nodded, turned around, and returned to their respective teams with Lin Li. When Edmund returned to the Gilded Kingdom's team, Zumar and Poer immediately greeted him in a bid to ask about the results of Edmund's investigation. However, they only saw Edmund shaking his head calmly.
The two teams set off again. Not long after, they saw seven tall buildings standing in the desert in front of them. Before they could see what the building looked like, Edmund's face was already filled with unconcealable excitement. Although Elder Zumar and High Priest Poer did not know much, they immediately had an answer in their hearts when they saw Edmund's reaction. Clearly, the purpose of the mission was about to be achieved.
Immediately afterwards, under Edmund's orders, the Gilded Kingdom's team immediately sped up. As soon as the team of the Tower of Dusk saw the Gilded Kingdom speeding up after seeing the seven tall buildings in the distance, they naturally understood the reason for the Gilded Kingdom's actions. However, Lin Li did not let the team speed up, and instead maintained the original speed. Anyway, they wouldn't lose track of them.
As they got closer and closer to their destination, the seven tall buildings that originally seemed a little hazy in the light gradually revealed their true appearance in front of them. The seven tall buildings were about 100 meters tall, and had slender spires that looked like huge sword tips that were inserted into the ground.
When they got closer, they finally saw that these weren't Magic Towers, but seven tall and majestic monuments with pointed tops. These seven pointed monuments emitted a faint golden light, like seven sharp swords pointing to the sky. They carried an aura that looked down on the world, causing everyone to involuntarily feel a desire to worship them.
The surface of the spires was engraved with extremely complicated mageweaths and numerous magic runes. Even in this environment that was filled with light, they still shone brightly and looked extremely eye-catching. There were also large magical crystals inlaid on the base of the spires, which should be providing mana for the mageweaths on the tombstones. Each magical crystal was probably above the Sanctuary-realm.
In addition, the seven spires were not lined up in a row, but formed a circle. At the same time, there was a strong connection between the tombstones, forming a massive magical barrier. Surrounded by the seven spires, there was a ball of light that was as dazzling as the sun that was beating slowly like a human heart.
When the people of the two teams walked to the bottom of the spires, and were only 1,000 steps away from the ball of light in the center, they saw that there was a more condensed ball of light floating above the light.
At this moment, Edmund could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. He couldn't help but raise his hands, and exclaim fervently, "That's our holy relic. As long as we get it back, we can resurrect Lord Aquilo!"
Hearing Edmund's words, the people of the Gilded Kingdom immediately looked fervent. If they hadn't remembered where they were, they would have probably cheered immediately. Even the mages of the Tower of Dusk who were following behind seemed to be a little excited at this moment. Although the holy relic had nothing to do with them, it should be a moment of witnessing a miracle to them.
Lin Li, Connoris, Angelano, and the two Undead servants were the only ones who were indifferent to all of this. Moreover, at this moment, Lin Li became even more vigilant, and was even ready to fight at any time. There was a saying that many things often went wrong when they were close to the end. Hence, the more it was like this, the more they couldn't let their guard down.
After suppressing the initial excitement in his heart, Edmund turned around and began to arrange for his subordinates to prepare for the ritual of collecting the holy relic. Immediately, the people of the Gilded Kingdom got busy. First, they built a temporary altar under the command of Elder Zumar and High Priest Poer.
Although it was a temporary altar, it was definitely not a casual one. The materials used to build the altar were all brought in from outside, and it was almost as if they had moved the treasury of the Gilded Kingdom there. Every item was a top-grade magical material that was priceless. During the construction process, there was no negligence at all. Everyone was extremely serious, and the slightest deviation would be corrected immediately. Just like that, an exquisite altar was soon built in front of the seven spires.
