As the former owner of the Stars of Fury, Lin Li would definitely not be wrong about it. Besides, the bow did not just look like the Stars of Fury. The magical wave of the Stars of Fury that he had sensed previously came from the bow. It could be said that the characteristics and the nomological power contained in it were no different from the real Stars of Fury.
However, the only difference was that the Stars of Fury in the Thunderbolt Vortex gave Lin Li a feeling that it was too weak. Although the effect of the Stars of Fury was mainly reflected in using the debris of the stars and fully exerting the power of the debris of the stars, it was probably only a step away from being an artifact. However, Lin Li felt that the power contained in the bow in the Thunderbolt Vortex was only at the Legendary-level. The difference between them was too great.
Could it be that someone had really replicated the Stars of Fury? Lin Li thought of the Song of Heart in Princess Elune's hands. There were some characteristics in the Song of Heart, which were obviously borrowed from the Stars of Fury. On the other hand, the Song of Heart borrowed a tiny portion of the Stars of Fury's characteristics, and even for a Smithing Guru, it was the limit that he could achieve.
Lin Li was a Smithing Guru himself, and he was well aware that the ability of a Smithing Guru was far from enough to perfectly replicate the Stars of Fury. Besides, even if someone could really replicate the Stars of Fury, it would definitely not be in the Legendary-level.
In order to figure out the true identity of the Stars of Fury, it would be impossible to rely solely on guesses. The only way was to use his mental strength to investigate carefully. In order to divert enough attention to explore the secrets of the Stars of Fury in the Thunderbolt Vortex, Lin Li suddenly opened his Magical Domain. The ice, snow, light, darkness, and even the Laws of Earth that had yet to take shape formed formed an unprecedentedly powerful Magical Domain.
As Lin Li's Magical Domain was opened, the situation seemed to have improved a little. Be it the lightning magic that was continuously falling from the sky or the hundreds of wind elementals that were bombarding them like a tidal wave, none of them could shake the defense provided by the Magical Domain. However, Elder Randy and the others did not seem to be overjoyed at all. Instead, they were even more worried.
Elder Randy and the others had always thought that the guardian of this realm was likely to be a powerhouse at the peak of the Legendary-realm. For mages, the Magical Domain was undoubtedly their strongest means. Now that the powerful Guardian had yet to appear, Lin Li had already unleashed his Magical Domain. Could it be that he was really at his wit's end?
Lin Li did not explain anything to Elder Randy and the others. Instead, he concentrated his mental strength and probed the Thunderbolt Vortex like he did when he was investigating the Elemental Wyrm previously.
As Lin Li diverted more attention to the Thunderbolt Vortex, the speed of his spellcasting slowed down, and the Magical Domain seemed to be shaking. However, that gave Elder Randy and the others a great shock, for they thought that Lin Li had already lost his strength. Although Lin Li's casting speed returned to normal in the blink of an eye, the despair in Elder Randy and the others' hearts intensified.
Lin Li did not believe that anyone could replicate the Stars of Fury, especially one that only emitted Legendary-level magical waves. In order not to provoke a counterattack from the Stars of Fury, Lin Li only probed the vicinity of the Stars of Fury with his mental strength. However, that was enough.
When the mental strength detected the situation, Lin Li's face was filled with shock and disbelief, and he was no longer just astonished. It was because the Stars of Fury was not an imitation, nor was it real. Even if the real Stars of Fury had appeared here, Lin Li wouldn't have been so shocked.
Through that wisp of mental strength, Lin Li could clearly sense that the Stars of Fury in the Thunderbolt Vortex was actually condensed entirely from mana. Lin Li finally knew why the Stars of Fury emitted only Legendary-level magical waves. It was because the mana condensed from the Stars of Fury was like a Legendary-level magic spell.
However, although the mana condensed from the Stars of Fury seemed to be similar to Legendary-level magic, it was definitely not a power that mortals should be able to master. Even with Lin Li's knowledge and experience, he had never heard of such a method. Even in the myths and legends, the ancient gods had spent countless years to create the Stars of Fury. If it could be condensed with just mana, why would they need to put in so much effort? Didn't that mean that the power of the mortal who condensed the Stars of Fury with mana was above that of the ancient gods?
Even if the person who condensed the Stars of Fury with mana might not be stronger than the ancient gods, one thing was certain: that person's understanding of the Stars of Fury definitely surpassed that of the ancient gods who had personally created the Stars of Fury. Although Lin Li had once possessed the Stars of Fury, he admitted that he could not achieve that. All of this had nothing to do with power or level, but the most thorough and complete mastery of the Stars of Fury.
Even if Lin Li had reached the Sanctuary-realm, he would never be able to condense the Stars of Fury with mana, let alone his current Legendary-level strength. Although Lin Li was once the owner of the Stars of Fury, his understanding of the Stars of Fury was actually still at a very superficial stage.
After all, after Lin Li obtained the Stars of Fury in the Endless World, he transmigrated to Anril not long after. The time he had had was actually rather short. Moreover, when Lin Li owned the Stars of Fury, he was a Hunter by profession. Hence, he did not know much about the various nomological powers. Hence, he could not understand the Stars of Fury too deeply.
For an ordinary weapon, understanding its appearance, its material, and its usage would be considered mastering the weapon. However, the Stars of Fury was not an ordinary weapon. Even if Lin Li understood its appearance, usage, some of its characteristics, and even clearly remembered its mana waves, those were just superficial to the Stars of Fury.
In fact, as an artifact, the attack power of the Stars of Fury was not the most outstanding. The reason the ancient gods created the Stars of Fury was to exert the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. Without the debris of the stars, the power of the Stars of Fury might not be ranked among the artifacts. However, with the debris of the stars, the Stars of Fury was definitely one of the best.
Most of the energy that the ancient gods spent on creating the Stars of Fury was for the sake of exerting the power of the debris of the stars. In order to exert the full power of the debris of the stars, one would need to have complete mastery of the Laws contained in each piece of the debris of the stars.
Such mastery was not as simple as understanding it. Otherwise, it would just be borrowing it, and it would not be able to exert the full power of the debris of the stars. Even the ancient gods would probably find it difficult to fully master the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. However, the Stars of Fury had to be able to fully activate the power of the debris of the stars.
Perhaps not all the Laws of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars were needed in the Stars of Fury, but the nomological power contained in the debris of the stars might not be as simple as that of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. When Lin Li obtained the Stars of Fury, he was only a Hunter by profession. He only knew how to use the Stars of Fury, and did not have the time or ability to understand and master the Laws contained in the Stars of Fury.
For the Stars of Fury, the material and structure were not the most important. The most important thing was the Laws that could activate the power of the debris of the stars. Among the Laws, there were the most fundamental Laws of this world, as well as the Laws that had been changed or re-formulated by the ancient gods. Hence, Lin Li was filled with shock and disbelief when he faced the Stars of Fury that was condensed by mana.
The pressure that everyone was under was constantly increasing, and they might be crushed mercilessly at any time. However, Lin Li's eyes gradually lit up after the shock, and a ray of hope flickered in his eyes. If the guardian of this realm was a powerhouse who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm, there might really be nothing he could do. However, the Stars of Fury that were condensed by mana gave Lin Li hope to escape.
To Lin Li, the most important thing was that the Stars of Fury that were condensed by mana also gave him some clues about the real Stars of Fury. Ever since he obtained the first piece of the debris of the stars, Holy Light, in the catacomb, Lin Li knew that the Stars of Fury definitely existed in Anril.
Although Lin Li had never seen it with his own eyes, and had never even heard of the legends related to the Stars of Fury, the only clue he had was the debris of the stars, Holy Light. However, he still firmly believed in the existence of the Stars of Fury. This was purely an intuition, a kind of intuition that seemed to be born with.
In particular, the debris of the stars appeared one after another, such as Gloomy Darkness in the Scar of Death, Rebirth in the Time Consignment Store, and Raging Flames and Polar Snow in the underground palace of the Dragon Mountains. The appearance of the debris of the stars strengthened Lin Li's belief that his arrival in this world seemed to have something to do with the Stars of Fury.
Although the existence of the debris of the stars still could not prove the existence of the Stars of Fury, there was no reason for Lin Li to believe that he was here. Hence, the Stars of Fury had to exist here too. It was just that simple and logical.
Now, the dazzling longbow in the middle of the huge vortex of lightning in the middle of the sky had confirmed Lin Li's conjecture. The Stars of Fury existed, and it had been in the hands of an incredibly powerful powerhouse many years ago. Otherwise, no one would have condensed the bow in front of him with magic.
Lin Li already had a conjecture that could not be verified regarding the incredibly powerful powerhouse who had once mastered the Stars of Fury. After looking at the history of Anril and combining it with his own experience in Anril, Lin Li guessed that the incredibly powerful powerhouse was likely to be the Immortal King who had single-handedly created the High Elves. The words left behind by the black smoke in the Daylight Square before it left, the appearance of the stone sculpture in the depths of the Scar of Death, and the roar of the Titan Spirit that was being expiated flashed before Lin Li's eyes. At this moment, Lin Li seemed to have grasped something …
The Stars of Fury that was condensed with mana gave Lin Li a lot of imagination. However, regardless of what it was, the most important thing now was to get out of the predicament in front of him. Soon, Lin Li put aside the messy thoughts in his mind, and held the Helios' Scepter tightly in his hand. There was no longer a trace of doubt in his eyes as he looked at the sky. There was only determination and understanding.
Although Lin Li had opened his own Magical Domain, and used the Laws of Light, Darkness, Ice, and Earth to temporarily give himself a chance to explore the Stars of Fury, the surrounding attacks did not weaken at all. Instead, they became even more powerful.
As one of the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt had the most powerful attack power among the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. With the help of the Stars of Fury that was condensed with mana, its power was far from what the so-called powerhouses present could contend with. Even in Anril, these Legendary powerhouses were the top figures, but that was only relative to mortals.
The Stars of Fury and Thunderbolt were powers that only the gods could master, even though the Stars of Fury that was condensed with mana was far inferior to the real Stars of Fury, and even though the power that Thunderbolt could exert was not all of its power.
Countless wind elements were continuously being summoned, and the magic spells were like waves after waves, slamming against the magical defenses that everyone was struggling to maintain. Each wave of magic attacks would cause the magical defenses to shatter and collapse, making everyone shudder in fear. It was as if they would be drowned by the magic waves at any time. Everyone's hearts had sunk to the bottom, and they were filled with despair and helplessness.
However, at this moment, everyone suddenly discovered that the young mage who had been working together to resist the magic bombardment had given up on continuing to cast defensive magic spells. Instead, he slowly raised the Helios' Scepter that he was holding tightly, and continuously chanted a large number of magic spells.
Although they did not know what Lin Li was going to do, they had no choice but to squeeze out their potential again and fully cast defensive magic spells to make up for the loss of magical defense caused by Lin Li's withdrawal. The two Legendary-mages, Cheyenne and Culofen, also unreservedly cast their respective Magical Domains in order to last a little longer.
No one understood what Lin Li was chanting, not even Cheyenne and Culofen, who were also Legendary-mages, and not even the knowledgeable Elder Randy. They only knew that as Lin Li chanted the spell, the surrounding magical waves became more and more turbulent, and there was even a whistling sound that resembled a tidal wave. Although everyone was puzzled, no one dared to stop and think about it, and had no choice but to wait for Lin Li to give the final answer.
While everyone was puzzled, three arrows appeared out of thin air in Lin Li's Magical Domain, and turned into three elements — Light, Darkness, and Earth — that revolved around his body slowly. At this moment, everyone felt a sense of suffocation. The power emitted by the three arrows was definitely the most terrifying they had ever seen in their lives. Although the power was not the most powerful, they could clearly feel its purity, as if it represented the Laws of Light, Darkness, and Earth. It was so pure that it had already exceeded the limits that humans could comprehend and control. Even a Sanctuary Master might not be able to feel such pure nomological power.
