It was the key to the Seventh Sky Castle …
Lin Li finally understood everything now. It was no wonder that the High Elves had only used six Sky Castles during the war. The seventh Sky Castle, which was the most powerful and powerful, had never appeared on any battlefield. It was all because a key was needed to activate the Seventh Sky Castle, and this key was in Geresco's hands!
However, there was something strange. Why did Geresco have the key to the Sky Castle?
The High Elves had spent countless years and effort to build the seven Sky Castles. To the High Elves, the seven Sky Castles were not only their strongest weapons, but also the key to them taking the last step into the realm of gods. Ever since the seven Sky Castles were built, they had always been in the hands of the High Elven Queen, Azshara.
Although Geresco was the God of Mages, the most powerful mage in Anril was not Geresco, but the High Elven Queen, Azshara. This female High Elf, who was born under the Tree of Eternity with the Mana Staff, was the most powerful mage in Anril. Although Geresco was powerful back then, it would have been impossible for him to snatch the key to the Sky Castle from the hands of the High Elven Queen …
However, to Lin Li, what was going on was not particularly important …
It was because Lin Li knew very well that no matter how many questions and secrets there were, he had to get his hands on these three relics.
There was no need to mention the Book of Eternity. The last page recorded a spell that could topple the entire magic system. A mage who mastered this spell could be described as omnipotent. Apart from that, the magical crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant was equally important. There was not a mage who did not want to have more and stronger mental strength, especially for a monster like Lin Li, whose mental strength was in the category of a freak. Once he obtained the magical crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant, he would be like a tiger that had grown wings. With such a terrifying mental strength enhancement, coupled with the knowledge contained in the Book of Eternity, Lin Li was almost 100% confident that he could reach Geresco's realm. It was not impossible for him to surpass Geresco …
Moreover, there was a key to open the seventh Sky Castle …
To ordinary people, such as Hutton and Stephen, the key was just icing on the cake. It was far less meaningful than the Book of Eternity and the magical crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant. They could only hope that they were lucky enough to find the Sky Castle that had been lost in time and space.
However, to Lin Li, the significance of the key was far more than that.
Because the blueprints of the seven Sky Castles were now lying in the Ring of Endless Storm …
Lin Li had been studying the secrets of the blueprint ever since he obtained it in the Scar of Death. He had translated many of the High Elves Print. Although he was still miles away from deciphering the entire blueprint, Lin Li still understood many secrets from the few words that he had translated.
These secrets might not be of much use now, but as time passed, Lin Li's power would become stronger and stronger. Breaking through the Legendary-realm would be just a matter of a blink of an eye. Even breaking through the Sanctuary-realm was not impossible. When that time came, Lin Li could enter the turbulence of time and space with the spacetime coordinates in the key, and find the Sky Castle that had been lost for more than 1,300 years. Then, he could control this unprecedented war machine!
A Sanctuary Master who controlled the Sky Castle would not have the slightest bit of fear even if he were to face a deity …
"As for who among the three of you can obtain these three relics, it will be up to the three of you to decide." After introducing the origins of the three relics, Tutankhamun seemed to heave a sigh of relief. He put down the key in his hand, and slowly sat back on the wooden chair.
"What should we do?"
"What you have to do is actually very simple …" Tutankhamun suddenly smiled. His smile seemed a little strange. "You only have to carry out a harmless competition. Whoever can obtain the final victory will be able to obtain these three relics."
"Competition?"
"Yes, a race against death …" After Tutankhamun finished smiling with a strange expression, he suddenly stood up from his chair, and then used a roaring voice to recite an incantation. The moment the incantation left his mouth, Lin Li could hear it clearly. This was an incantation formed from the Ancient Dragon Language …
Feeling the ancient aura coming from the spell, Lin Li vaguely felt that something was wrong. The competition that Tutankhamun spoke of was probably not as harmless as he had said …
As expected …
Almost at the instant the roar ended, the three young mages suddenly felt the scenery around them change. The originally lush forest disappeared with a "swoosh", and was replaced by an overwhelming black flame. This was an extremely strange world. Whether it was the sky or the earth, they seemed to have been ignited by this black flame. Everywhere they looked, they could only see a burning world.
The most frightening thing was that this black flame was not very hot. Instead, it was icy cold. Standing beside it was like sticking to a block of ice. Moreover, Lin Li could clearly feel that this black flame was also emitting an extremely strong death aura. This death aura did not have the rotting stench of the Undead, but it was purer and stronger. It made people feel as if their blood had stopped flowing just by standing there …
"F * ck …" The moment the black flame entered his eyes, Lin Li's face instantly turned deathly pale.
What else could it be if not the 27th floor of the Abyss? The 27th floor of the Abyss was also known as the Abyss of Tharlen.
The 27th floor of the Abyss was also known as the Abyss of Tharlen. In the ancient language of the dragons, Tharlen meant destruction. It was a world filled with darkness and evil. Lin Li did not know what was going on in Anril, but he knew that there had always been a saying in the Endless World that the Demon Lord that ruled the Abyss of Tharlen was actually the incarnation of the Dragon of Destruction, Azardas. This ancient wyrm that controlled the Laws of Darkness and Evil had cast a shadow of itself into the Abyss of Tharlen. This shadow did not have any thoughts or consciousness, and only possessed a portion of the Dragon of Destruction's power.
Azardas used this method to break through the restrictions of the laws of Anril, allowing his shadow to continuously absorb energy from the Abyss while conquering the endless planes of the Abyss.
Although the Abyss of Tharlen was only located on the 27th floor of the Abyss, the demons there were definitely more terrifying than those on the 30th or 35th floor …
When Lin Li's Hunter killed Azardas with the Stars of Fury, he received a mission to enter the Abyss of Tharlen. However, this mission did not specify what he had to do after entering the Abyss of Tharlen. Nobody told Lin Li if the Abyss of Tharlen was really related to Azardas. Furthermore, Lin Li had too many things to do after that. For example, he had to train his Life Skills as a mage, make wishes with the Scroll of Wishes, and so on …
In short, all these things delayed him. Even when Lin Li was swallowed by the Black Hole, he still did not have the time to complete this mission that was full of doubts.
He did not expect that after more than a year, he would enter the Abyss of Tharlen from another world …
"This is big trouble …" Lin Li could not help but frown at the thought of this possibility.
The Abyss of Tharlen was still the Abyss of Tharlen, but he was no longer himself. In the Endless World, he could be said to be almost invincible with the Stars of Fury. Even Azardas, one of the four Dragon Aspects, died in his hands. Although the Abyss of Tharlen was extremely dangerous, it was not enough to make him flinch.
But now …
Lin Li lowered his head to look at the black robe he was wearing. He was only a level-19 Archmage. What was the difference between entering a place like the Abyss of Tharlen and throwing meat buns at dogs? There were level-10 Minion Demons, level-15 Demons, and Greater Demons ranging from level-18 to level-20. With Lin Li's current strength, he could still fight a level-20 Greater Demon, but what if he met Azardas' incarnation?
That was the shadow of one of the four Dragon Aspects …
Even if it had only inherited one-tenth of the Dragon of Destruction's power, it was not something Lin Li could fight against. Azardas controlled all the dark and evil forces in Anril. Even if it was only one-tenth of it, it was still a terrifying existence that was close to the Sanctuary-realm.
Although Lin Li could be said to be the strongest person below the Legendary-realm, and he had the Holy Light and Gloomy Dark in his hands and the Humerus Wyrm behind him, it did not mean that Lin Li had the ability to challenge the peak of the Legendary-realm. Lin Li could use the power of Holy Light and Gloomy Dark to close the distance between him and his opponent at level-20, 21, or even 22. However, once the opponent reached level-24, the difference in strength between both parties would be like heaven and earth. Holy Light and Gloomy Dark would no longer be able to protect Lin Li. As for the Humerus Wyrm … it was just a laughable toy in front of a powerhouse that was close to the Sanctuary-realm …
"This is the 27th floor of the Abyss. In the legends of Anril, it is also known as the Abyss of Tharlen. What the three of you have to do now is to find a palace in the deepest part of the Abyss of Tharlen, and then use the Teleportation Portal in the palace to return here. Whoever returns first will win this competition and the three relics left behind by Geresco."
