Lin Li stood quietly in between the cracks of the void, feeling the unprecedented power. The moment of fusion not only brought him countless memory fragments, but also brought him immense power. This power did not only come from the magical crystal of the fire element Wyrm, but also from the entire Eternal Furnace.
It was only then that Lin Li understood why Connoris would say that mastering this heart was equivalent to mastering the entire Eternal Furnace. It was because the heart and the Eternal Furnace were basically the same thing. The heart was the Eternal Furnace, and the Eternal Furnace was the heart.
When Lin Li branded his Mental Brand on the huge heart, the memories and power that the entire Eternal Furnace had accumulated over the past 1,200 years gushed into the Brand of Dusk like a tidal wave. This was a process of mutual devouring and fusion. Countless memory fragments pieced together to form a complete Eternal Furnace.
Although Connoris was the only person apart from Osric who knew the most about the Eternal Furnace, even the great Soul Trader did not know how dangerous the process was. The moment the countless memory fragments surged in, the impact on one's mental strength was far beyond what a human could withstand. Even Osric, the creator of the Eternal Furnace, might not be able to withstand such an impact.
Fortunately, Connoris met Lin Li. His almost infinite mental strength saved Lin Li's life, and also prevented Connoris from being trapped in the Ring of Endless Storm forever.
When the devouring and fusion was completed, Lin Li became the true owner of the Eternal Furnace.
It could even be said that Lin Li was the Eternal Furnace, and the Eternal Furnace was Lin Li. Through the connection between the Brand of Dusk and the heart, there was no distinction between him and this huge sky fortress.
The only thing Lin Li needed now was to further master this power.
This process might be long, but it was not unfamiliar, because all the methods and techniques had already gushed into his mind along with the countless memory fragments.
"How is it, Connoris? Are you used to living in the dimensional space?" Lin Li opened the Ring of Endless Storm, and took out the hammer that Connoris was residing in.
"What the hell! How dare you treat a great Soul Trader like this! " Connoris was furious. If the hammer had a mouth, it would have bitten Lin Li.
"I'm doing this for your own good …" Lin Li rubbed his nose, and his expression was somewhat awkward. He was indeed in the wrong for what he did, and the facts proved that Connoris did not lie to him this time. However, awkwardness aside, Lin Li's thick skin allowed him to quickly forget about it. With a smile on his face, he asked, "Oh yes, Mr Connoris, I have two pieces of news now. One is good news, and the other is bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"I want to hear good news!" Connoris said without hesitation.
"That's good." Lin Li smiled. "The good news is that I have control over the entire Eternal Furnace."
"That's great, that's great …" Connoris was trembling with excitement. He repeated "that's great" twice before asking doubtfully, "What about the bad news?"
"The bad news …" Lin Li hesitated, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly. "The bad news is that you can't get a new body for the time being."
"Why!?" Connoris' voice suddenly became unusually sharp. "Don't forget, you promised me!"
"F * ck, I didn't forget!" Lin Li scolded angrily, but after scolding himself, he became discouraged. His expression was a little helpless. "The problem is, I can't do it with my current ability. I can't do it, do you understand?"
"Then … Then what should I do?" He finally had hope, only to be told that he couldn't do it. Connoris was so anxious that he was about to cry. "I've been imprisoned by this damned hammer for 1,200 years …"
"What can I do? If you want to blame someone, blame Osric. He's always using high-level Magical Domains, and he always tampers with those few core magical laws. Look at me carefully. Do I look like someone with legendary power?" Lin Li felt unlucky at the thought of this. Yes, the memory fragments did contain information about using puppets to create life, but this information was meaningless to Lin Li. The use of a large number of high-level Magical Domains involved tampering with the core magical laws. This was not a field that mortals should be involved in. Legendary-level power was just Lin Li's most conservative estimate. To be more reliable, this requirement had to be raised by at least a few levels …
"Then …"
"Then what then? Since you've already waited for 1,200 years, it doesn't matter if you wait another few hundred years. Why don't I give you an idea? Since you have nothing better to do, why don't you go out with me later? You can even help me forge iron in the future. When I break through to the Legendary-realm, I'll help you get a new body. What do you think?" Lin Li said with a smile while sneaking a glance at Connoris …
This time, Lin Li was really tempted …
It couldn't be helped. Connoris' background was too tempting, and he was a true demon.
And the hometown of the demon was the legendary Abyss.
All along, Lin Li was not a person with many desires. There were very few things that could pique his interest. Especially after coming to Anril, there were only two things that could pique his interest. One was to become stronger, because that was the only way he could live better. The other was to obtain various precious materials like the black lotus and the Infernal Magic Iron. In order to become stronger and obtain more precious materials, he could do many things that he was not willing to do normally — such as roping in a soul that was imprisoned in a hammer …
The reason why he did this was because Connoris used to live in the Abyss of Demons. This was too important to Lin Li. Other than being dangerous, the Abyss of Demons was also famous for its rich resources. At least one-third of the precious materials that Lin Li dreamed of came from the Abyss of Demons!
Roping in Connoris was equivalent to roping in a guide. In a place like the Abyss of Demons, a good guide would undoubtedly help Lin Li avoid many detours.
Hence, Lin Li was very enthusiastic.
So enthusiastic that Connoris was a little suspicious. "When you break through to the Legendary-realm?"
"What's the problem?"
"You are a Warrior …" Connoris muttered softly. Actually, what he wanted to say was, F * ck, when you, a level-five Warrior, break through to the Legendary-realm? I might as well sleep in the Eternal Furnace for another 1,200 years … Of course, considering the ring on this fella's finger, Connoris wisely swallowed his words.
"Now that you mention this, I remember something that I forgot to tell you."
"What is it?" Connoris was stunned.
Lin Li did not answer. He only tightened his grip on Connoris' right hand. In an instant, a blazing flame rose.
With a Flaming Hands, Connoris was so scalded that he howled. "What the hell, you ungrateful bastard, are you trying to burn me to death?"
"This is what I forgot to tell you …" Lin Li slowly put Connoris down. At the same time, he lightly shook his right hand to extinguish the remaining flames. "Now, do you have any more questions?"
"What the hell, are you crazy …" Connoris grumbled for a long time. Then, as if he suddenly realized something, he asked in a tone of disbelief, "You, you, you … You are not a Warrior?"
"Nonsense …"
It was as if Connoris became excited all of a sudden. "You are a mage! No, no, no … Not a mage, at least an Archmage! What the hell, such a young Archmage, how is this possible? "
When he said the last sentence, Connoris' voice sounded as if someone was squeezing his neck. It was unusually sharp …
"Sorry for making a fool of myself …" Lin Li said humbly, but he could not hide the smile on his face. It could not be helped. If this person was lucky, even the city walls could not stop him. The moment he branded the Mental Brand on that huge heart, his mental strength had fused with the power of the Eternal Furnace. Although he could not fully utilize this power at the moment, it was just a moment of contact, and it had brought him great benefits.
Lin Li estimated that his strength had increased by at least two levels. This was because he could clearly feel that it was not only his strength that had increased, but also his realm that had broken through. This feeling was too clear. The difference between a Magic Shooter and an Archmage was completely different. Looking at a Magic Shooter as an Archmage was like an adult looking at a child …
Lin Li even felt that with his current strength, he was confident that he would be able to defeat Argus even if he were to be assassinated by him again. Besides, it would be a duel between the two of them based on their true strength without using any tricks.
Unfortunately, this could only be a thought. Argus was already completely crippled. Even if Lin Li wanted to have a fair duel with him, he would not have the chance.
"What the hell, he really is an Archmage …"
"Now, do you believe me?"
"I believe, I believe, I believe …" Connoris' voice was unusually excited. This series of twists and turns was too exciting for him. From being full of hope to complete despair, and then from complete despair to being full of hope. This back and forth was like going from heaven to hell, and then from hell to heaven. If he could, he really did not want to experience it again …
"That's good …" Lin Li nodded, and did not continue to provoke him. "From now on, you are my personal belonging. My name is Felic. Nice to meet you, Mr Connoris."
"Me too …" For some reason, the smile on Lin Li's face made Connoris feel a little guilty …
"Oh, yes, Connoris. I heard that the Abyss of Demons is rich in all kinds of precious magical materials. Why don't you bring me there some other day? Maybe it will be useful when I help you create a body … "
