However, although Lin Li's behavior was rather suspicious, everyone tacitly did not ask about the reason for his late arrival, because they all knew that there wouldn't be anything left in the laboratory. Be it Elder Randy or Cheyenne, they both felt that they had gained a lot from the fifth floor, especially when compared to Lin Li's 20 alchemy puppets. Hence, no one wanted to mention the fifth floor again, lest they incur Lin Li's displeasure.
"Hehe, we have no choice but to wait. Mage Felic, you'll know once you come and take a look." Chief Elder Randy and Cheyenne greeted Lin Li with a wry smile, and then consciously made way for Lin Li in the middle. Unknowingly, Lin Li had already been placed in the first position among the three forces that were cooperating with each other.
Lin Li looked at the two of them strangely, but he didn't say much. He simply walked to the middle of the two of them, and then looked inside the door. After taking a look, he got a great shock, and finally knew why everyone was waiting there with a sullen expression.
There was a long corridor behind the door, and there didn't seem to be anything special about it. This corridor didn't seem to be much different from the corridor on the first floor. The floor was covered with precious magical crystals, and the walls on both sides were lit with bright Pale Flame crystal lamps.
However, as a Legendary powerhouse who was extremely sensitive to power, Lin Li could clearly feel that the seemingly ordinary corridor was filled with fatal murderous intent. Besides, the murderous intent in the corridor did not come from the Alchemy Arrays or magic gears, but from the pure nomological power.
"This, this is too exaggerated!" Lin Li had only sensed it slightly, but the shock that the corridor brought him was definitely indescribable. Because in that long corridor, the Laws of Space were extremely chaotic, completely exceeding the common sense of humans. It had reached an extremely ridiculous level.
If space was compared to a piece of white paper, the space in the corridor would be a piece of white paper that had been torn into pieces and forcefully pieced together. From afar, the piece of white paper didn't seem to be unusual, but if one looked closely, they would discover the dense tear marks on it. Of course, the torn piece of white paper wouldn't pose any threat, but the torn and pieced together space would definitely be fatal to those who entered. If one stood outside the space, they would naturally not be affected at all. However, once someone stepped inside, no matter how powerful they were, they would be instantly torn to shreds by the countless spatial cracks.
Without a doubt, only the Immortal King, whose strength was comparable to that of a deity, could create such an insane space trap. This was an almost unbreakable trap for any invader. Furthermore, it was clearly placed there, clearly telling every invader that life and death was just a step away.
That was what shocked Lin Li. The power of tearing space was indeed terrifying, but to him, it was just a slight shock. Back in Tutankhamun's wooden hut, he had personally witnessed Geresco's powerful ability to tear space apart through the Spacetime Beacon Spell.
However, the corridor that he and the others were facing now was not simply a matter of tearing space. The dense and ghastly spatial cracks were equivalent to countless spaces being torn apart and then forcefully pieced back together. It had almost nothing to do with any technique, and was instead a naked display of power. The Immortal King had created such an almost unsolvable trap, and his power was comparable to that of the legendary deities.
What was even more incredible was that any spatial crack that appeared would gradually recover under the powerful Space Laws of the entire world until it disappeared. Otherwise, this world would have collapsed a long time ago, and the world would have been destroyed long ago due to the countless battles that could tear space apart since the prehistoric times.
However, the spatial cracks in the corridor did not seem to have recovered at all after such a long time. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the power that violated the World Laws was heaven-defying.
Lin Li shook his head slightly. If it was an Alchemy Array or magic gears, he would be able to find a way to crack it with his knowledge, even if it was a Guru-level magic trap. However, the space trap in front of him now was a trap created by the Immortal King purely with his immense power. There was no way to crack it at all.
Lin Li could only lament that there were times when knowledge was useless. Although he was rather proficient in alchemy and magic gears, he was helpless in the face of this trap that was created with absolute power, just like how a scholar would be helpless in front of a soldier.
Noticing Lin Li's expression, Cheyenne and Elder Randy could not help but look disappointed. Although they also knew that it was almost impossible for anyone to crack the space trap in the corridor, they still had some hope in Lin Li, hoping that the young mage would show some miracles again.
Unfortunately, this time, Lin Li directly said to everyone, "This corridor is not meant for humans to walk through at all. Seems like we'd better find another way. Otherwise, we'll have to stop here. "
Lin Li's tone was filled with helplessness. This time, he really had no other way. Although he had the debris of the stars, the cracks in space were not physical objects, after all. Even if the debris of the stars was not destroyed, it would still disappear in the turbulence of time and space after being shot into it. He finally had the hope of gathering the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, and he did not want to take the risk. If he really lost one of them in the turbulence of time and space, he might never be able to find it again.
Because he was thinking about the debris of the stars, Nothingness, that might exist in Osric's mausoleum, Lin Li did not have much interest in continuing to walk. However, Cheyenne and Elder Randy were obviously unwilling to give up. Although they had already obtained the Magic Tides and the Tower of Death, there was still such a powerful and unsolvable trap in front of them. Didn't that mean that there were greater treasures behind? Everyone knew that it was not good to be greedy, but it was not easy to know when to stop when faced with real temptation.
Everyone spread out around the door or pressed their faces against the wall to carefully observe the patterns, hoping to find the switch to deactivate the space trap in the corridor. They also used their hands to knock on the wall inch by inch, hoping to find something like a hidden door. According to common sense in treasure exploration, the more difficult a trap was to crack, the more it meant that there was something good behind it. Hence, the unsolvable space trap attracted everyone's interest.
Lin Li and his two Undead servants did not do anything. They simply stood in front of the door and looked into the depths of the corridor. It was because he knew very well that what Cheyenne and the rest were doing was completely useless. The Immortal King had set up the space trap to prevent others from entering. How could he leave any backdoors for others?
Indeed, it did not take long for Cheyenne and Elder Randy to return to Lin Li's side. They did not say anything, and simply looked at the depths of the corridor helplessly.
"Seems like this is indeed the end of our operation," Elder Randy said as he grabbed an arrow and threw it into the corridor. In an instant, the arrow was torn into pieces and devoured by countless cracks in space.
Everyone who saw it couldn't help but shiver. They could totally imagine what would happen to them if they entered rashly.
"Yeah, but we've already gained a lot from this operation. Indeed, we shouldn't expect anything more," Cheyenne said with a sigh. He was obviously indignant, but what else could they do in the face of the unsolvable space trap?
Although that was what they said, no one took the initiative to move or show any intention of leaving. Everyone still had a sliver of hope in their hearts, and they were all thinking about what if they found a way to pass through, even though they knew that the possibility was illusory.
"Did you guys notice that the magic oil lamp seems to be a little different from the others?" Cheyenne suddenly asked with uncertainty after everyone stood in front of the door for a long time, pointing to one side of the corridor.
However, Cheyenne's discovery did not arouse their interest. In fact, every oil lamp in the corridor had a different shape, and the difference seemed to be meaningless.
"Didn't you guys feel it? The magical waves of the oil lamp and the aura of the flames. Carefully compare it with the surrounding oil lamps." Cheyenne seemed to have really sensed something, and there was a hint of excitement in his tone. If the oil lamp was really special, it was very likely to be related to the space trap in the corridor. The High Elves wouldn't use other materials to make up for the lack of materials.
"Which one? The second one on the right?" Elder Randy looked in the direction that Cheyenne was pointing in disbelief. He then closed his eyes again, and carefully sensed the aura emitted by the oil lamp under the influence of the countless cracks in space. The doubtful expression on his face gradually disappeared, and a wisp of pleasant surprise gradually rose up.
It's indeed different! When Cheyenne first mentioned it, Lin Li had already focused on the oil lamp that he was talking about, and discovered that the flames of the oil lamp were very similar to Cang Yan's, but the aura it emitted was slightly different. Although that did not eliminate the influence of the countless spatial rifts in the corridor, Lin Li discovered another special thing.
The shape of the oil lamp seemed to be nothing special compared to the other oil lamps around it. Anyway, all the oil lamps had different shapes. However, Lin Li discovered that the structure of the oil lamp seemed to be very similar to the Summoning Lamp in his hand.
