Although the Stars of Fury that was condensed with mana only used Legendary-level mana, it could exert the power of the debris of the stars with the Laws and characteristics contained in it. Besides, the Stars of Fury were paired with Thunderbolt, the most powerful of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. Such a combination could almost instantly kill anyone below the Sanctuary-realm. Lansdale was an example. Even a Sanctuary powerhouse might not be able to withstand the attack for long.
Lin Li was able to break through the last realm thanks to the three pieces of the debris of the stars that he had. Otherwise, he would have inevitably ended up like Lansdale after being struck by Thunderbolt.
There were various theories about Osric's strength in history, but Lin Li, who understood the power of Thunderbolt, knew that even if the disciple of the Immortal King had Sanctuary-realm power, he would not be able to contend with Thunderbolt that was paired with the Stars of Fury. Perhaps he could retreat safely, but it would be impossible to break through the last realm without paying a considerable price.
However, the message in the laboratory clearly showed that Osric had really broken through. If it weren't for the fact that his strength had reached the level of the Immortal King, he would have had something to rely on. The greatest possibility was that Osric also had at least one piece of the debris of the stars.
There were a total of seven pieces of the debris of the stars, and Lin Li now had four of them: Holy Light, Gloomy Dark, Rebirth, and Thunderbolt. Holy Light came from the catacomb of Norfeller's former master, and the High Elf who had transformed into a Lich, who was said to be Osric's younger brother, died because of Holy Light. Since that unlucky High Elven Lich did not know about the existence of Holy Light in the beginning, Osric shouldn't have used Holy Light.
Gloomy Dark came from the Scar of Death, which was also the altar of the Immortal King guarded by a High Elven Lich. If Osric really had Gloomy Dark before, he wouldn't have placed it in that place in the end.
Lin Li had no idea where Rebirth originally came from, but he had paid a sky-high amount of gold coins for it. Hence, it was relatively easy to get his hands on it. Of course, it also led to a battle with the elven mage Vidas. However, in terms of power, Rebirth was not suitable for fighting Thunderbolt head-on. The power of Rebirth was more reflected in the control of vitality.
Thunderbolt was the last realm of the Seven-Realm Spiral. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Li already had three pieces of the debris of the stars, he would probably have died under the attack of Thunderbolt.
In the underground palace of the Dragon Mountains, there were also Raging Flames and Polar Snow, which had already formed natural Magical Domains. Osric should know about these two pieces of the debris of the stars. The underground palace might have been built for them. However, Lin Li was sure that Osric had not used any of them. Otherwise, the Nature Magical Domain would have collapsed long ago.
Out of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, six had already appeared, and only the last one was missing. Hence, Lin Li guessed that the debris of the stars in Osric's hands was probably Nothingness that contained the Laws of Chaos.
Although the seven pieces of the debris of the stars could be said to be on par in terms of power, the power they displayed was also different due to the difference in the Laws of Power they contained. The most powerful one was the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt. Meanwhile, Holy Light and Gloomy Dark had the purest form of power.
The most mysterious and elusive one was undoubtedly the debris of the stars, Nothingness, which contained the Laws of Chaos. Even though Lin Li used to have all seven pieces of the debris of the stars, and had mastered the Stars of Fury that could be used perfectly, he still knew very little about Nothingness. In fact, Lin Li felt that he knew nothing about the debris of the stars, Nothingness.
Although he used to have seven pieces of the debris of the stars, Lin Li had only used Nothingness once because of the unknown and mysterious power. He did not even dare to make up his mind to use it, as he did not know what would happen if he used it. The only time Lin Li had used Nothingness was when he was facing the Dragon of Destruction. The scene was still fresh in his memory.
Under the activation of the Stars of Fury, the power that erupted from Nothingness was not as unstoppable as Thunderbolt, nor as violent as Raging Flames. However, it was that seemingly calm power that tore the void and cracked the earth, giving the Dragon of Destruction a heavy blow. That kind of power that even the Dragon of Destruction trembled in fear was unbelievable to Lin Li.
If his guess was right, and Osric had really mastered Nothingness back then, it would not be difficult for him to break the Seven-Realm Spiral with his Sanctuary-level power even without the Stars of Fury. Perhaps that was the reason why Osric did not take Thunderbolt away.
To be honest, Lin Li felt a little impatient at the thought of the power that Nothingness had once displayed. He even secretly decided that after returning from here, he would go to Alanna no matter what to fulfill the agreement he had with Aldwin, and facilitate the exploration of the Highlord's mausoleum as soon as possible. This time, Lin Li believed that he definitely had the right to negotiate with them with his status and strength, and was not a small figure who could be easily dismissed by some benefits.
At the thought that Nothingness might be in Osric's mausoleum, Lin Li even had the urge to return immediately, because Nothingness was not just a piece of the debris of the stars to him. Although he did not get Raging Flames and Polar Snow, he already saw them as his. If he could get Nothingness, he would truly have the seven pieces of the debris of the stars again.
The significance of gathering the seven pieces of the debris of the stars was not just the possession of seven powerful arrows. The seven pieces of the debris of the stars would not only bring him more combat techniques, but also an increase in power. It was a change that was almost like a rebirth.
The seven pieces of the debris of the stars each contained different nomological powers, and each was nurtured in a different environment. However, Lin Li, who had truly owned all of them, knew that the seven pieces of the debris of the stars with different powers could form a whole when gathered together.
Although the separated pieces of the debris of the stars also possessed extremely powerful power that was definitely above the Legendary-level, it was impossible for the debris of the stars to be separated. However, when the seven pieces of the debris of the stars became one and were truly in the hands of the same person, they would be able to exert their true power, and that power was no longer something that mortals should be able to control.
Besides, as the former owner of the Stars of Fury and the debris of the stars, Lin Li also knew a secret that no one else knew. The Laws contained in the seven pieces of the debris of the stars included all the basic elemental Laws in the world. Naturally, the various derived Laws were also included. Hence, when a person mastered all seven pieces of the debris of the stars, it was equivalent to mastering all the elements in the world at the same time. Earth, water, fire, wind, light, darkness, and chaos represented the seven basic Laws of the world. They would also be exposed to the person who held them.
When Lin Li was still a Hunter, this benefit might not have been much, but now, he was a mage who had stepped into the Legendary-realm. The Holy Light and Gloomy Dark that he had obtained previously had already brought him great benefits. Through the Light and Darkness Laws, he had created the Light and Darkness Domain. If the seven pieces of the debris of the stars were gathered together, he would be able to use this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the seven basic Laws. For a Legendary-mage who had already gone far in the Legendary-realm, the benefits it would bring would definitely be unimaginably terrifying.
In fact, Lin Li even had a vague feeling that he would break through the Legendary-realm and step into the Sanctuary-realm when he had all seven pieces of the debris of the stars in his hands at the same time. That was definitely not a delusion, because no one knew the power of the debris of the stars better than him. Besides, didn't Legendary-mages have to master the seven basic Laws and create a World Magical Domain as the standard for advancing to the Sanctuary-realm?
However, it seemed that it would not be easy to enter Osric's mausoleum and obtain the debris of the stars, Nothingness. Regarding Osric being the disciple of the Immortal King, Lin Li had always thought that it was just a legend. Even Lin Li used to think that the Immortal King had only given Osric a few pointers. However, there was now clear evidence to prove this matter. In that case, Osric's mausoleum might not be as simple as the Sky Castle.
Indeed, there were various signs that Osric's mausoleum was very likely to be a trap full of death. Hence, he had to study it properly after he returned lest he accidentally fell into it. Lin Li did not want to lose his life in the mausoleum because of his negligence. Not only did he fail to obtain Nothingness, but he also did not want to lose his life in the mausoleum.
Seeing that he could not get any valuable information from Connoris, Lin Li decided to put that thought aside for the time being in order to avoid Elder Randy's suspicion. He then quickly left the Immortal King's laboratory.
Lin Li thought that Cheyenne and Elder Randy should have already entered the sixth floor at this time, and were impatiently plundering the place. However, when he arrived at the sixth floor of the tower, he saw Cheyenne and Elder Randy waiting there. They did not enter the hall on the sixth floor before him.
That really surprised Lin Li. Although they had some sort of tacit understanding before, it did not make them wait for him there willingly. In particular, each of them represented their own forces. In the face of benefits, there was almost no need to be considerate.
However, when he got closer, Lin Li realized that the people waiting in front of the door of the sixth floor did not seem to be impatient. Instead, they were all frowning as if they had encountered some unsolvable problems.
"Elder Randy, Master Cheyenne, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," Lin Li said with a smile, but he did not mention the note that Osric had left behind.
