With the appearance of this figure, the aura that contained divinity instantly swept through the entire space. The people of the Illuminati and the Tower of Dusk suddenly became very nervous. Although they could not see through the strength of the other party, they felt that their souls were shrouded in boundless fear.
Edmund and Zumar were so frightened that their faces changed. They could not be bothered to say anything more to Lin Li, and hurriedly turned around to organize their teams to prepare for battle. They could feel that the figure that rushed out of the crack possessed strength that was probably not inferior to that of a demigod, even if it was not comparable to that of a true god. This was undoubtedly going to be an extremely difficult battle.
The figure stopped in mid-air and did not immediately notice the two teams below. Instead, he raised his head and let out a deafening roar. The roar was filled with pain and fury, but at the same time, there was also a hint of indescribable joy.
As a God, being suppressed for such a long time and having his mana constantly extracted like a slave was not only painful, but also a great humiliation. If not for the fact that they could not control themselves, these gods would have long extinguished their divine fire and committed suicide after knowing that they could not leave.
After venting for a while, the figure finally noticed Lin Li and the others, especially Lin Li who had entered and exited the crack. He could obviously guess that Lin Li had a close relationship with the person who suppressed him. Maybe Lin Li was the descendant of that damned guy.
After being suppressed for thousands of years and having his mana continuously extracted, the hatred in this god's heart towards the person who suppressed him could no longer be described with words. Now that he had guessed that Lin Li might be the descendant of that person, the god naturally refused to miss this opportunity for revenge.
Hence, the god roared and suddenly opened his hands, and an erupting volcano suddenly appeared behind him.
God of Volcanoes? Seeing this, Lin Li could already confirm the identity of the person who had escaped.
The God of Volcanoes was just a subsidiary god who served the main god, the Ancient God of Fire, and had mastered the Volcano Rules derived from the combination of fire and earth. Although he was a subsidiary god, ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses could not fight against him. However, this God of Volcanoes had been suppressed in the crack, and had his mana extracted for thousands of years. His strength was far from what it had been at its peak. If he were to be suppressed like this for another few thousand years, perhaps even his divine flame would be extinguished, and he would truly fall from his divine position.
However, Edmund and the others did not know that, and they only knew that the sudden appearance of the figure gave them a huge pressure that was almost suffocating. Not to mention the rest of the team, even a veteran Sanctuary powerhouse like Saint Edmund was extremely nervous at this moment.
If it were any other situation, he could at least escape if he couldn't win. However, the resurrection place of Lord Aquilo was right behind them now. If they were to run away now, who knew what would happen to Lord Aquilo's resurrection? For this goal, the Illuminati had been working hard for thousands of years. Who would be willing to fall into eternal despair again after seeing the light of hope?
Saint Edmund, Elder Zumar, and everyone else from the Illuminati all seemed to be unafraid of death at this moment. For the resurrection of Lord Aquilo, they would not hesitate to sacrifice their lives even if they had to face a real deity.
At this moment, Lin Li frowned slightly, and muttered, "How could I be so careless? I actually let one escape." While speaking, he turned around and raised his arm to point at the God of Volcanoes who was about to rush over and start a massacre.
No one knew what was going on. Lin Li turned around and pointed a finger, after which a brilliant ray of light suddenly emerged in the space, and entangled the God of Volcanoes who was about to fly into a rage. As soon as the God of Volcanoes rushed out more than 10 meters, he was entangled by the light, and immediately let out an incomparably painful roar.
After being entangled by the rays of light, the God of Volcanoes emitted black smoke like a pile of firewood that had been extinguished. He couldn't be bothered to vent his anger on Lin Li and the others, and simply struggled and roared in midair as if he had been tortured. When the people below heard the pain in his roar, they couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
If the God of Volcanoes were still in his prime, Lin Li wouldn't have had to try at all, and would have run as far away as he could. However, the God of Volcanoes had first been drained of mana for thousands of years, and had already weakened to a considerable extent. When he escaped, he had also paid a huge price. His current strength was probably inferior to that of a demigod.
In Geresco's test, Lin Li had even defeated a few ancient gods, let alone a small subsidiary god who had been drained of most of his power and could only struggle at death's door.
Soon, the roar of the God of Volcanoes stopped, and his entire body seemed to have cooled down. He turned into a black, cracked stone that broke off piece by piece.
In the blink of an eye, a deity had fallen in front of them. The shock that this brought to Edmund and the others could no longer be described with words. Although they also knew that the deity only had divinity, and his power was not that strong, Lin Li had done it too easily. Even if it was just an opponent who was a demigod, he shouldn't have been killed so easily!
From the moment he saw Lin Li again, Edmund felt that there was an indescribable change in Lin Li. At this time, seeing Lin Li easily kill a deity, they felt that Lin Li's strength was even more unfathomable. As for Edmund, a veteran Sanctuary powerhouse, it was impossible for him to kill the God of Volcanoes so easily. In fact, the Illuminati would have to pay a huge price for it.
However, the problem was that Edmund could clearly feel that Lin Li's current strength had definitely not reached the realm of the gods. He was probably still a little short of being a demigod. That made Edmund confused. They were both at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, but why was there such a huge difference in strength?
On the other hand, Lin Li, who had killed a deity, acted as if nothing had happened. He turned around, clapped his hands, and said to the people of the Tower of Dusk, "Okay, everyone, get ready, we should leave this place."
Edmund was full of doubts, but he also knew that he could not ask about such things. He could only suppress all his doubts and order his team to get ready to leave. However, he was very clear about one thing, and that was that he had to spread the news about Lin Li's strength back to the Illuminati as soon as possible.
A Guru of Inscription who was close to the level of a Divine Smith and a Sanctuary powerhouse who could kill a deity with a wave of his hand … The Illuminati would be really foolish to make an enemy of such a person. Moreover, not only could they not become enemies, they had to use more means to further strengthen the relationship between the two parties. That was the only choice that was in line with the interests of the Illuminati.
After the matters in the underground world were over, the two teams of the Tower of Dusk and the Illuminati finally returned to the surface of the cursed land. They then boarded The Star of the Tower of Dusk, and returned to Four Seasons Island.
At this moment, on Four Seasons Island, Young Lord Gerina of the Giant Shark Clan seemed to be unprecedentedly happy. He had suffered a huge loss at the previous auction. Not only did he not get what he wanted, but he even transferred the mining rights of a mine to the Sea Snakes for a few years. Logically speaking, he should not be in a good mood.
The reason why Gerina's mood suddenly became better was because the people standing in front of him at this moment were the Seahorse slaves that had been bought by the Tower of Dusk in advance. Outsiders might not know what this group of Seahorse Race slaves meant to the Colossal Shark Race, but as the young master of the Colossal Shark Race, Gerina knew that this group of Seahorse Race slaves was enough to make up for his regret at losing the auction.
The Seahorse Clan used to be the ruler of the Endless Ocean and the royal family of the Ocean Dynasty, but they lost their power because they angered the Sea God. However, the Ocean Dynasty was so powerful back then, and the wealth they had accumulated was far beyond people's imagination. After the Giant Shark Clan and the other major Sea Clans rebelled, the wealth that they got from the Ocean Dynasty was estimated to be less than 10%. As for where the other 90% of the wealth went, they could only ask the surviving Seahorse Clan.
Gerina had also heard that there seemed to be a descendant of the Seahorse Clan's royal family among the Seahorse slaves, and that was why they went to war with the Tower of Dusk for such a group of slaves. Of course, it was also an important reason that he looked down on the tiny Tower of Dusk. Otherwise, if it were any other powerful force, he would have to carefully examine whether it was worth it to fall out with them.
Gerina waved his hand to get his men to take the Seahorse slaves away, and then turned around to look at Cantory, who had provided him with the information. With great enthusiasm, he said, "Cantory, my brother, thanks to your information, I've found these damned slaves."
In fact, Cantory had only told Gerina that Lin Li had left with the main force of the Tower of Dusk. However, Gerina couldn't say that, or else it would seem like he was afraid of the Tower of Dusk. Even though he was indeed not confident of snatching those slaves from Lin Li, Cantory had always been thinking about how to make Lin Li suffer a setback.
Cantory, on the other hand, had been thinking about how to make Lin Li suffer a setback. Now that he saw that the slaves that Lin Li had bought had been snatched away by Gerina, he was naturally extremely pleased. However, he was still rational at the end of the day. After accepting Gerina's gratitude, he reminded, "Brother Gerina, you know the relationship between our kingdom and the Tower of Dusk, so please keep this matter a secret for me."
"Got it, got it!" Gerina patted Cantory's shoulder hard, but his expression was obviously disdainful. "I don't know what that old fellow Bradlor is thinking. How dare he suck up to the Tower of Dusk like that. What do you think the Tower of Dusk has? Isn't it just two Sanctuary-level powerhouses? What's there to be afraid of? "
Cantory seemed to find it hard to answer Gerina's words, and could only shake his head with a bitter smile before bidding farewell to Gerina. In fact, he also wanted to say that the Gilded Kingdom was not the only one sucking up to the Tower of Dusk. Even the Illuminati was almost the same. However, he couldn't say that out loud, or Gerina might not do what he wanted.
After sending Cantory away, Gerina returned to his underwater castle, and couldn't help but want to laugh out loud. Ever since he came to the Gilded Kingdom, he had never felt so carefree. He could even imagine how exasperated Felic would be when he returned from the Tower of Dusk and found out that the seahorse slave had gone missing.
Besides, Gerina was already prepared to humiliate the people from the Tower of Dusk when they came looking for him. He wanted to take revenge for the humiliation he received at the embassy of the Tower of Dusk previously.
There didn't seem to be many changes on Four Seasons Island during Lin Li's absence. It was still filled with a festive atmosphere, and everyone was making various preparations for the founding celebration of the Gilded Kingdom. After a few days of sailing, The Star finally sailed into Helena Port, which was decorated with a festive atmosphere.
Edmund and Zumar led the people of the Illuminati to bid farewell to Lin Li at the dock, and prepared to return to the Illuminati to report the results of this operation. However, at this moment, a priest of the Illuminati hurriedly ran to the dock, and whispered a few words to Edmund.
No one heard what the priest said, but Edmund's face turned extremely sullen in an instant. Next, Edmund couldn't be bothered to exchange pleasantries with Lin Li anymore, and after saying a few simple words of farewell, he immediately left the dock with his men in a hurry.
Damn it, that kid from the Giant Shark Clan really doesn't know what death is!? Edmund led his men away from the dock while cursing in his heart.
In the Gilded Kingdom, there were some things that the king didn't know, but there was nothing that the Illuminati didn't know. What Gerina of the Giant Shark Clan had done could be hidden from the Gilded Kingdom, but not from the Illuminati. However, the external affairs of the Illuminati had always been handled by Saint Edmund of the Chaos Sanctuary. Hence, the people of the Illuminati only reported this matter to him now that he had returned.
Besides, there were still four Sanctuary-level Divine Generals from the Giant Shark Clan, and they were the forces that the Illuminati had left in Four Seasons Island. If they didn't make use of the other three sanctuaries, it would really be difficult for them to interfere in this matter.
In the underwater palace of the Giant Shark Clan, Gerina was still happily thinking about how to deal with the seahorse slaves when he suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps.
Soon, a guard ran in with an anxious expression, and as soon as he saw Gerina, he yelled, "Young Lord, bad news, the people of the Illuminati are here."
What's so bad about the people of the Illuminati coming? Gerina was a little puzzled. After all, the Giant Shark Clan and the Illuminati also had dealings with each other, and although they weren't on good terms, they still gave each other some face.
Hence, Gerina's face immediately darkened, and he asked in displeasure, "What do you mean? So what if the people of the Illuminati are here?"
"Young Lord, the people of the Illuminati are asking you to immediately hand over all the seahorse slaves of the Tower of Dusk," the guard hurriedly said.
