While dealing with High Priest Poer, Lin Li was also constantly thinking of countermeasures in his mind, trying to find a way to counter him. Of course, although it was said that they were contending, they were actually taking hits head-on. When they couldn't take it anymore, it would be the end of them.
Speaking of which, Lin Li had a lot of trump cards, such as the Lord of Nightmares and Lord Devourer sealed in the Summoning Lamp, and the Elemental Dragon Xiao Hua in the Ring of Dream Garden. They were all considered powerful trump cards. It was also because of these trump cards that Lin Li agreed to Edmund's request to continue exploring this place with them.
However, such trump cards would only be of some use in the Sanctuary-realm. If the Tower of Dusk had a conflict with the Gilded Kingdom, such trump cards would be enough to give the Tower of Dusk the upper hand quickly. However, now that they were facing a powerhouse who was half a step into becoming a god, these trump cards were not enough.
Lord Devourer Garl's ability was insane. No matter what material or force it was, as long as it opened its mouth, it would be able to swallow everything into its stomach and turn it into its own power. However, the power of a powerhouse who was half a step into becoming a god already contained a trace of divine power, and that was not something that Lord Devourer could digest. If Lord Devourer really dared to devour High Priest Poer's power, even if it was just a trace of it, it would immediately explode.
As for the Elemental Dragon Xiao Hua, it had endless mana, and could definitely be called the king of group battles. However, it had not stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, and was even further away from the realm of the gods. There was a huge difference in the nature of their power, and it could not be made up for with numbers.
The seven pieces of the debris of the stars were very powerful, but with Lin Li's current strength, it was almost impossible for him to kill a powerhouse who was half a step into becoming a god. Back then, the Immortal King could kill the Dragon of Destruction not only because of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, but also because of the Stars of Fury, which could fully exert the power of the debris of the stars. However, Lin Li only had a replica of the Crossbow of Reincarnation now, which was not enough to exert the power of the debris of the stars.
Although the current High Priest Poer could not be compared to the Dragon of Destruction, Lin Li could not be compared to the Immortal King either. The Immortal King was a freak who could directly suppress the ancient God of Light. Lin Li was only a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse now.
After some calculations, even Lin Li could not help but feel a little discouraged. Although he had many trump cards, none of them could help him turn the tables. Was he really going to die here this time? However, at this moment, the seven monuments suddenly flashed across Lin Li's vision. Although it was just a fleeting thought, an idea, or rather, a hope, appeared in Lin Li's mind.
The fight with High Priest Poer allowed Lin Li to have a certain understanding of the nature of his power. When Poer's power reached the level of a demigod, Lin Li felt a huge change in his power. There were three types of power in Poer's body. One was his own power, one was the power of a holy artifact, and the last was the most powerful light power.
Poer himself was only in the mid-Sanctuary-realm. After obtaining the power of the holy artifact, he reached the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. After obtaining the powerful light power, he became a demigod. Lin Li felt that the powerful Power of Light was very similar to the power of the Ancient God of Light that was suppressed.
In fact, when Poer's power leaped to the level of a demigod, Lin Li had already suspected that it was the ancient God of Light who was playing tricks. Otherwise, if a Holy Relic, or a magical tool, could allow someone to reach the level of a demigod, then that magical tool would be too heaven-defying. In particular, there was the God's Whisper that the ancient God of Light had created previously. It could be seen that although the ancient God of Light was suppressed, he still had a certain influence on this space.
In order to defeat Poer, Lin Li had to start with this power. If he could expel the power of the ancient God of Light from Poer, Lin Li was confident that he could kill him even if he still had the power of a peak Sanctuary-realm. The problem was, how could he expel the power of the ancient God of Light? Lin Li thought of the seven monuments with pointed tops.
The seven monuments with pointed tops were built by the Immortal King to suppress the ancient God of Light. The mageweaths on the monuments had a great suppressive effect on the power of the ancient God of Light. Hence, Lin Li felt that if he could understand the mystery of the mageweaths on the monuments, he might be able to turn the situation around.
Of course, this was not an easy task for Lin Li. Although he was already a Guru of Inscription, the mageweaths on the monuments were all at the level of a Divine Smith. To be honest, with his Guru-level skills, understanding the mystery of a Divine-Smith-level mageweath was not much different from challenging a demigod powerhouse.
If Lin Li was given a quiet and stable environment to study for a period of time, he might really be able to understand some of the mysteries of the Divine-Smith-level mageweath. However, the problem now was that Lin Li still had to deal with the attacks of High Priest Poer. He had to spend most of his energy on maintaining the Domain World. Otherwise, he would probably be killed soon. How could he have such an environment to focus on studying the mageweath?
However, this could be said to be the only chance that Lin Li could think of to turn the situation around. Moreover, Lin Li had studied the Void Spirit mageweath for a period of time before. It was also a Divine-Smith-level mageweath. Although he had not achieved any results, he at least had some understanding of it.
How would he know if he could really turn the situation around if he did not try? Lin Li was not a person who would give up easily. The problem now was how to buy himself enough time to study the mageweath on the monuments.
It was obviously impossible to count on the people below to buy him enough time. Even if Edmund was not injured, the two teams would probably not be able to defeat High Priest Poer even if they used all their strength. Hence, Lin Li still had to rely on himself. He had to fight for time while studying the mysteries of the mageweath. The pressure was immense.
Lin Li continuously repaired and consolidated his Domain World while carefully dividing his energy to study the mageweath on the monuments. However, as soon as he read a little bit of the mageweath, he had no choice but to immediately withdraw all his energy to repair the Domain World that had been blasted by Poer.
This couldn't go on. Not to mention studying a Divine-Smith-level mageweath, it was impossible for him to even read a few lines of words! After trying several times in a row, Lin Li began to get a little anxious. He suddenly thought of the power that was restrained by the debris of the stars, Holy Light, when he killed the incarnation of the Serpent of Light.
Previously, when Lin Li killed the incarnation of the Serpent of Light, he used the debris of the stars, Holy Light, to devour more than half of the mana of the incarnation of the Serpent of Light. Although this mana was not all of the mana of the incarnation of the Serpent of Light, if it were to be released all at once, the power would not be inferior to the self-destruction of a powerhouse at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm.
However, Lin Li was very clear that this power alone was not enough to hurt a powerhouse who was half a step into becoming a god. Hence, he had not used this power. However, what Lin Li needed now was not to cause serious damage to Poer, but to buy some time for himself. He did not need much time. About a few minutes would be enough. If Lin Li could not comprehend anything within this time, it would be useless even if he had ten or a hundred times more time.
At the thought of this, Lin Li quickly had an idea in his mind. He separated the debris of the stars, Holy Light, from the Domain World. As the power of Holy Light was extracted, the power of Lin Li's Domain World immediately decreased by a level. The Power of Light that Poer had cast was even about to rush into his Domain World.
However, this time, Lin Li was not in a hurry to repair the damage to the Domain World. Instead, he turned Holy Light into an arrow of light, and placed it on the Crossbow of Reincarnation. As he gently pulled the trigger, the arrow of light transformed from Holy Light flew towards High Priest Poer who was outside the Domain World. At the same time, the moment Holy Light was shot out, the power of the incarnation of the Serpent of Light was also activated and erupted.
High Priest Poer did not take such power seriously at all. In fact, he did not even dodge at all, and instead continued to attack Lin Li. Although the power was enough to severely injure a powerhouse who was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, it was not a threat to him who was already half a step into becoming a god.
The power of the incarnation of the Serpent of Light came from the continuous absorption of the Power of Light in the space. The Power of Light in the space came from the ancient God of Light. Hence, the two powers could be said to have the same source. Hence, Poer could clearly feel that the power contained in the arrow was the same Power of Light as his. Not only would it not cause him any harm, but it would also be equivalent to nourishing him.
However, when the energy blasted Poer's body, something unexpected happened. Although they were both Power of Light, the power of the incarnation of the Serpent of Light still contained the remnant will of the incarnation of the Serpent of Light. Although this will was relatively not strong, it was like a virus that affected the power of the ancient God of Light in Poer's body. The ancient God of Light's power instinctively made dispelling that will its primary goal.
Of course, with Poer's current strength, it would not take long for him to dispel the remnant will of the incarnation of the Serpent of Light. Perhaps it would take a minute, or even less. What use would less than a minute be to Lin Li? Could the mystery of a Divine-Smith-level mageweath be comprehended in a minute? Perhaps even if Lin Li had reached the level of a Divine-Smith-level mageweath, he would not be able to figure out a Divine-Smith-level mageweath that he had never seen before in a minute.
However, a minute was different for Lin Li, even though it was just a minute for others. Just as the will of the incarnation of the Serpent of Light came into play in High Priest Poer's body, the Helios' Scepter in Lin Li's hand also emitted a dazzling light, and a spell that he had long prepared was released.
This spell was not an offensive spell. With the casting of this spell, Lin Li's Domain World immediately underwent an earth-shattering change. The time in the entire Domain World began to pass quickly. A second in the outside world was equivalent to a few days in the Domain World. A minute in the outside world was equivalent to dozens of days in Lin Li's Domain World. This was the distortion of the Laws of Time.
Among all the Laws, the Laws of Time and Space were the most difficult to comprehend and grasp. Even the gods might not be able to completely grasp these two Laws. Fortunately, Lin Li had the debris of the stars, Nothingness, which contained the Laws of Space and Time. At the same time, he had the huge wealth of knowledge left behind by the God of Mages Geresco, including the Book of Eternity. Thus, he could more or less get a glimpse of some of the mysteries of space and time.
Now, Lin Li was using his understanding of the Laws of Time to distort the time ratio inside and outside the Domain World, extending the time that was less than a minute in the outside world to dozens of days in the Domain World. Of course, the price that Lin Li had to pay was definitely not small. Not only was his mental strength being depleted every second, his vitality was also being depleted at a terrifying rate.
Under such circumstances, Lin Li really did not dare to waste a single second, and devoted all his energy to the study of the mageweath on the monument. A few dozen days might seem like a lot of time, but it would be a stretch to use it to study a Divine Smith mageweath. Not to mention studying the mageweath thoroughly, it would not be easy for him to even comprehend the slightest bit of the mystery of the mageweath.
In the eyes of the people outside, High Priest Poer's body paused slightly in the air after Lin Li shot an arrow at him, and the light on his body flickered a few times before returning to its original state. Immediately afterwards, High Priest Poer continued to wave the crystal sword in his hand, and launched another attack on Lin Li's Domain World. The entire process only took about a minute, and no one could tell what kind of impact this minute would have on the entire situation.
What everyone saw was that Lin Li's Domain World had become riddled with holes in the blink of an eye under the bombardment of High Priest Poer. It was almost on the verge of collapse. However, under such circumstances, Lin Li, who was in the Domain World, did not actively repair the Domain World like before. Instead, he seemed to be letting things slide.
Seeing Lin Li's behavior, Edmund and the others were really in despair.
