In their opinion, Lin Li had obviously given up on resisting, even though they knew that Lin Li would only be delaying his failure even if he continued to resist. However, as long as Lin Li was still resisting, there would at least be a glimmer of hope. Now, even that glimmer of hope was gone.
At this moment, Edmund couldn't help but look remorseful. He hated himself for not seeing through High Priest Poer's ambition earlier. Otherwise, there was no way he would have brought High Priest Poer along for this operation. However, it was too late for regrets now. With the powerful strength of a demigod, once High Priest Poer left this place, he would definitely bring a huge disaster to the Illuminati and the Gilded Kingdom.
In the eyes of everyone, Lin Li's Domain World was collapsing under the storm-like attacks of High Priest Poer. It was as if the end of the world had arrived, and it was on the brink of destruction. They could totally imagine that with the collapse of Lin Li's Domain World, it would be their doomsday. However, no one could think of any solution.
High Priest Poer, who had been expressionless all this while, seemed to be a little smug at this moment. However, the smugness disappeared in a flash. Perhaps killing Lin Li with his own hands was the only obsession in High Priest Poer's will. When this moment was about to become a reality, he finally became a divine servant of the Ancient God of Light.
With a series of loud booms, Lin Li's Domain World, which was already riddled with holes, finally collapsed under the attack of High Priest Poer. The Laws that constituted the Domain World could no longer withstand the terrifying attack. Under everyone's despairing gaze, it shattered like glass being hit by a hammer.
After destroying Lin Li's Domain World, High Priest Poer didn't stop at all. He waved the crystal sword in his hand repeatedly, and weaved a huge net of sword light that covered Lin Li, who was no longer protected by the Domain World. Even though Lin Li was already a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, he would only end up with a broken body under such an attack from High Priest Poer.
Seeing this scene, everyone below almost broke down. Edmund and the others closed their eyes in despair. They already knew the outcome. On the other hand, the people from the Tower of Dusk flew towards Lin Li, seemingly wanting to block the fatal blow at the last moment. However, everything was in vain.
However, at this moment, Lin Li, who was facing High Priest Poer's attack, suddenly opened his eyes. Although the Domain World had already been shattered, and he was facing High Priest Poer's fatal blow, Lin Li did not panic at all. He raised the Helios's Scepter, and chanted a spell quickly. The gem at the top of the Helios's Scepter emitted thousands of rays of light.
However, the ray of light emitted from the Helios' Scepter was not directed at High Priest Poer. Instead, it passed him and shot towards the seven monuments with spires. Although the seven monuments were still very far away from Lin Li, the speed of the light was so fast that it could reach him in an instant even if it was ten or a hundred times further away.
As of that, the ten, the the Li, the the the up the rays of the Of the Lin Li. However, if someone were to pay attention, they would discover that the flow of mana in the mageweath was slightly different from before. Moreover, the power of the seven monuments seemed to have been used to suppress the barrier of the Ancient God of Light. However, this time, it began to spread outwards, attracting the Power of Light in the space.
When the seven monuments began to change, the net of sword light that High Priest Poer had cast was already about to engulf Lin Li. However, at this critical moment, the light of the net of light quickly dimmed. When it was about to touch Lin Li, it was completely extinguished, and disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the surprised High Priest Poer, Lin Li still had a smile on his face despite looking a little disheveled. While continuing to activate the mageweath of the seven monuments, he calmly said, "Regardless of whether you are a servant of god or the will of an ancient god, that is where you should be!"
Immediately afterwards, the light wings on High Priest Poer's back seemed to have been pulled by a huge force, and began to distort rapidly. Starting from the edge, it was broken down into the most basic particles, and sucked into the barrier formed by the seven monuments, forming a gorgeous band of light.
After the phantom wings disappeared, High Priest Poer's body also began to disintegrate. His silver hair and crystal-like body were like weathered stones as they were disintegrated and sucked away layer by layer. In the blink of an eye, High Priest Poer's figure disappeared from the sky. Everything disappeared without a trace, and only the holy relic of the Illuminati was left behind, which flew directly into Lin Li's hands.
In the barrier formed by the seven monuments, the ball of light that was the incarnation of the Ancient God of Light also began to jump violently again. However, the seven monuments shot out tens of thousands of rays of light again and whipped the ball of light, causing it to calm down very quickly.
At this moment, Lin Li finally heaved a sigh of relief. He held the holy relic of the Illuminati in one hand, and his body swayed as he landed on the ground from the sky. In the eyes of others, it seemed like only a minute had passed. However, to Lin Li, there were too many thrilling events that took place in less than a minute.
With Lin Li's current strength, it was not easy to distort the Laws of Time. Apart from expending a large amount of mental strength and vitality, the risks involved were rather huge. Why did he wait until the Domain World was destroyed before activating the power of the mageweath on the monument to counter High Priest Poer? It was not because he only understood the mysteries of the mageweath at the last moment, but precisely because of the distortion of the Laws of Time, causing him to be unable to escape from the unequal flow of time, and almost lost his will in the turbulence of time. It was precisely because of the collapse of the Domain World that he broke the barrier of time, and freed his will from the turbulence of time.
To be honest, from a certain point of view, High Priest Poer could be considered to have saved Lin Li's life. Of course, Lin Li would not go easy on him just because of this. After his will returned, he immediately used his understanding of the mageweath on the monument to suppress High Priest Poer, who had already become a divine servant of the Ancient God of Light.
Seeing that High Priest Poer, who was originally going to win, was actually destroyed by Lin Li's counterattack, Edmund and the others could not believe their eyes. They even felt like they were dreaming as they stood there in a daze, not daring to move at all, as if they were afraid of breaking the dream.
On the Tower of Dusk's side, Connoris and the two Undead servants had a soul connection with Lin Li, and naturally knew that everything was real. In particular, when they saw that Lin Li seemed to be very weak when he landed on the ground, the three of them immediately scurried over like lightning. On one hand, they wanted to check on Lin Li's condition, and on the other hand, they wanted to prevent the Gilded Kingdom from burning their bridges.
"Haha, Felic, how did you do it? I knew you would have a way!" Connoris was the first to rush to the front, and excitedly patted Lin Li's shoulder. In terms of fear of death, he was not inferior to that goblin Angelano at all. In particular, he had been sealed by Osric for a long time, and only had a perfect body for a short period of time. Naturally, he was unwilling to die just like that. Hence, seeing that Lin Li had defeated High Priest Poer, the excitement in his heart could not be described with words.
In fact, it was not only Connoris, but also everyone present except Lin Li himself probably did not know how Lin Li managed to defeat a powerhouse who was half a step into becoming a god. After all, what everyone saw was that a minute ago, Lin Li was unable to retaliate, and the next minute, he turned the situation around. It was just like a myth.
Connoris patted Lin Li's shoulder twice, and when he wanted to pat him again, he was stopped by Norfeller, who had rushed over. He then coldly said, "Master needs to rest!"
If it had been in the past, it would have been too easy for Connoris to trample on Norfeller with his strength. However, now that Norfeller had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, Connoris would not be able to do as he pleased. Connoris had no choice but to retract his hand resentfully, and mumbled, "Alright, alright, I'm too happy. I'll deal with you when I step into the Sanctuary-realm."
At this time, Edmund and Elder Zumar from the Gilded Kingdom also walked over. Looking at Lin Li who was blocked by the two Undead servants, Edmund had a complicated expression on his face. Previously, he had never thought that he would have to rely on Lin Li, an outsider, to turn the tide at the end of this mission.
Lin Li patted Norfeller's shoulder, who was in front of him, and separated the two of them. Although he still looked a little weak, he felt much more energetic compared to the seriously injured Edmund and Elder Zumar. He calmly said, "Saint Edmund, Elder Zumar, shouldn't you give us an explanation for this matter?"
Edmund had previously promised that he wouldn't wake up the ancient God of Light when collecting the holy artifact. That was also the reason why Lin Li agreed to bring his subordinates and follow them all the way here. However, in the end, the people of the Gilded Kingdom were the ones who caused the trouble. Although the ancient God of Light was behind it, it couldn't be said that Edmund and the others were not to blame.
Besides, Lin Li was not a person who did good deeds without asking for anything in return. Since he had helped the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati solve such a huge problem, it wouldn't be right if Edmund didn't express his gratitude. Although he said that he wanted Edmund to give them an explanation, in fact, everyone knew that Edmund was clearly asking for benefits from them.
However, Edmund was not angry at Lin Li's words at all. On the one hand, he was indeed in the wrong, and on the other hand, the holy artifact was still in Lin Li's hands. Edmund and his team had worked hard to come here in order to obtain the holy artifact, and use its power to resurrect the founding saint, Aquilo. Now that the key to completing the mission was in Lin Li's hands, Edmund wouldn't be angry at all even if Lin Li scolded him to his face.
"President Felic, we have indeed made a serious oversight in this matter. Hence, I would like to apologize to you very sincerely first. On behalf of the Illuminati and the Gilded Kingdom, I would like to thank you for everything you have done for us. " The expression on Edmund's face was very sincere. Of course, it was partly because Lin Li had the holy artifact, but more importantly, it was because he had seen Lin Li's true potential.
During the process of speaking, Lin Li's expression had gradually returned to normal. He waved his hand, and said, "Saint Edmund, don't say those meaningless words. Let's talk about something practical. I've solved such a problem for you, and now that your holy artifact is here, I don't need you to give me anything. However, like I said before, I want to read the supreme scripture of the Illuminati, as well as other ancient documents. I hope you won't come up with any excuses to brush me off when the time comes. "
"How can that be? You're worrying too much, President Felic. Since I've agreed to your conditions, I will definitely fulfill them. As for the great help you've given us, I will report it to the saint after we return. The Illuminati and the Gilded Kingdom will definitely thank you handsomely, "Edmund said, feeling a little embarrassed. In fact, before this matter, he and High Priest Poer had reached some tacit understanding on how to deal with Lin Li. However, who would have thought that High Priest Poer would create such a huge problem in the end, and the one who helped him solve the problem was the person he originally wanted to deal with?
"Okay, I'll believe you again. This is your holy artifact, take it back." After saying that, Lin Li nonchalantly threw the holy artifact in his hand towards Edmund.
Lin Li's action made Edmund unable to react, and he even forgot to catch the holy artifact that was thrown over. Fortunately, Elder Zumar, who was next to him, reacted quickly enough, and caught the holy artifact in advance. Otherwise, the holy artifact would have probably smashed into Edmund's face.
It was the holy artifact of the Illuminati, and High Priest Poer had just used it to raise his strength from the mid-Sanctuary-realm to the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. That was enough to show how powerful the holy artifact was. However, such a powerful holy artifact was thrown over by Lin Li as if it was the most ordinary thing. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they probably wouldn't have believed it.
Of course, Lin Li was actually not that selfless. However, after getting the holy artifact, he studied it a little, and realized that the so-called holy artifact could not be compared to the debris of the stars, Holy Light. To the Illuminati, it was considered a very impressive holy artifact, but to Lin Li, who had seven pieces of the debris of the stars, it was actually quite redundant.
Lin Li was not a miser who would keep all the good things and be reluctant to use them. Otherwise, no matter how good they were, they would still be useless, and there would be no way to show their value.
