However, the Ghost's strength was infinitely close to the Sanctuary-realm, and the information was not of much use to Lin Li. When the difference in strength reached a certain extent, weaknesses would not be easy to take advantage of. Hence, Lin Li did not think about what weaknesses the Ghost could take advantage of. It was more practical to focus on dealing with the Psychic Array according to his own plan.
After the observation just now, Lin Li had a basic understanding of some information about the Psychic Array. The Necromagic Array that was embedded with the Conquering Mageweath seemed to have a symbiotic or parasitic relationship with the Conquering Mageweath. Although they shared the same magic power circuit that provided power, there was another magic power circuit that extended near the magic nodes of these magic power circuits, and part of the power was channeled into the Psychic Array.
It was indeed a brilliant idea. In this space where there were not many magical elements, the Psychic Array could share the same source of mana with the Conquering Mageweath instead of setting up another source of mana. As long as there was no problem with the Conquering Mageweath, there would be no problem with the Psychic Array, and it could also use the power of the Conquering Mageweath.
However, even if many people could think of this method, they might not be able to realize it if they did not have high attainments in inscription and magic. Be it the Conquering Mageweath or the Psychic Array, they were both top-notch existences in their respective fields. Even Lin Li was not confident in making changes to them.
It seemed that it was just opening a channel next to a river to divert the water in another direction. However, when it came to realization, the problems to consider were not so simple. Mana was not like water, and one could not just open a channel next to it for mana to flow in the way one wanted. Besides, the magic circuit of the Conquering Mageweath was not the riverside, either. Not anyone could open a hole next to it. Once mana leaked, the entire Conquering Mageweath would be destroyed, and even the Sky Castle would have to suffer great consequences.
That was also the reason why Lin Li did not directly destroy the Conquering Mageweath, and instead chose other methods. Firstly, the Conquering Mageweath used the streets as its magic circuit, and the materials used for the streets might not be able to be destroyed even by a Legendary-level magic attack. Secondly, if the Conquering Mageweath was destroyed, the massive mana source of the Sky Castle would leak, and the disaster would be devastating. Thirdly, after Lin Li obtained the magical crystal that controlled the Sky Castle, he had already regarded the Sky Castle as his own even though he did not have the ability to control it yet.
As for the Psychic Array, it was now connected to the Conquering Mageweath, so there was no difference between destroying the Psychic Array and the Conquering Mageweath. Although he was a mage, he didn't know why he was so fated with Undead creatures. Both of his servants were Undead creatures. If he had the chance to control the Sky Castle in the future, he might be able to use this Psychic Array to make Norfeller and Ujfalusi advance by leaps and bounds.
Of course, it was still too far away to think about that now. Time waited for no man. If Lin Li couldn't overcome this obstacle, the Sky Castle and the Conquering Mageweath Psychic Array would all be nonsense.
Lin Li hovered in mid-air and looked at the ground carefully. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No matter who left the work here, it was indeed worthy of the title of 'divine'.
The magic circuit of the Psychic Array was seamlessly integrated with the magic circuit of the Conquering Mageweath, and there was no trace of the two magic circuits at all. It was as if the Psychic Array and the Conquering Mageweath should have been one in the first place. Lin Li wanted to cut off the magic circuit of the Psychic Array, but he didn't know where to start. He had to find the place where the two were truly connected.
With the support of the powerful mana source of the Conquering Mageweath, the power of the Psychic Array would be maximized. Of course, that was the only way to use such a powerful tower as a magic node. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the person who set it up was, he wouldn't have used a tower to set up the Psychic Array, because that would completely violate the World Laws.
Norfeller and Ujfalusi had already dealt with their respective opponents, and they came to Lin Li's side, feeling that they had the responsibility of guarding him. Lin Li looked at the sky, and the appearance of the Ghost had become clearer and clearer. Most of its body seemed to be popping out of the black fog, and its eyes were filled with endless resentment. It was staring at Lin Li.
In the distance, Cheyenne, Elder Randy, and the others were in a bad situation, too. Without Lin Li's support, they had no choice but to retreat in the face of the Undead Army that was still growing. The boundless Undead Army was like an ocean that had almost filled half of the Sky Castle. Even the roofs on both sides of the streets were full of Undead creatures.
Time was running out, and Lin Li roughly glanced at the current situation, only to realize that his side was almost at a dead end. There were only 10 seconds left, and he couldn't afford to hesitate or delay any longer. If he couldn't turn the situation around within 10 seconds, he would not be able to escape the fate of being engulfed by the Undead Army no matter how powerful he was. Even if he could hold on for a while with his strength, he would definitely not have the time to fully plan, and it would still be a dead end in the end.
Lin Li flew to the ground and faced the base of the tower, after which a crystal inscription pen appeared in his hand. Without a moment's hesitation, Lin Li waved his hand quickly, and the crystal inscription pen in his hand emitted a hazy glow. Clear and bright traces of light landed on the base of the tower, and in the blink of an eye, three powerful mageweaths were completed.
In fact, after discovering the relationship between the Psychic Array and the Conquering Mageweath, Lin Li had already begun to design a way to cut off the magic circuit of the Psychic Array. However, when he was looking for a place to start, the two Psychic Arrays and the Conquering Mageweath that had almost merged into one caused Lin Li to waste some time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry.
The three mageweaths that Lin Li had just drawn on the base of the tower were named Figaro, Max, and Buwanga. Although they were completed in an instant, they were all top-notch Guru-level mageweaths. Any mageweath would be enough for most inscriptionists to study and study for a lifetime. It would be impossible to perfectly draw one without decades of accumulation.
Lin Li was not making a fuss, but rather, the source of mana used by the Conquering Mageweath was too domineering. When the Conquering Mageweath was really activated, every resident in the city would be able to integrate themselves into the city, and make use of the power of the city at any time and place. It was no exaggeration to say that the terrifying Conquering Mageweath could even turn every resident in the city into a living god.
In this world, power did not appear out of thin air. The source of mana that could support such a terrifying Conquering Mageweath was massive beyond words. The Psychic Array and the Conquering Mageweath shared the same source of mana, and even if it was only a portion of it, it would definitely be a massive amount of mana.
Hence, it would be difficult for even a Guru-level mageweath to block the massive mana. Unfortunately, Lin Li's attainments in inscription were only at the Guru-level, and he could only use the three Guru-level mageweaths to make up for it.
The effect of the Figaro Mageweath was to devour mana, which was to control the amount of mana. Lin Li hoped to use it to reduce the mana that flowed out of the magic circuit. Otherwise, with that huge amount of magic power, it would be like a flood, and anything would be torn apart in an instant.
The effect of the Max Mageweath was to weaken the mana, which was to control the strength of the mana. Although the mana that flowed out of the magic circuit would be reduced after being devoured by the Figaro Mageweath, the impact of the mana was still very strong. That was also the reason why the Conquering Mageweath and the Psychic Array would use such sturdy towers as the magic nodes. Only the 36 towers could withstand the impact of the mana.
After being devoured by a layer of the Figaro Mageweath and weakened by the Max Mageweath, the mana in the magic circuit of the Psychic Array would become much more moderate. The effect of the third Buwanga Mageweath was to release the mana.
However, the greatest characteristic of the Psychic Array was to convert all the magical power in the space into the Power of Death. Hence, just releasing the mana would not cause too much of an impact on the Psychic Array. At most, it would just reduce the effect of the Psychic Array slightly.
Hence, Lin Li added a fourth mageweath after the three mageweaths, ending with the Blaze Trap mageweath. The mana released by the Buwanga Mageweath would be injected into the Blaze Trap mageweath, and at the same time, the Blaze Trap mageweath would also release a powerful force to deal with the Undead Army that had been summoned.
Lin Li used the four mageweaths to temporarily change the structure of the Conquering Mageweath, and blocked the flow of mana through the Psychic Array, causing the Psychic Array to lose the support of the mana source. The mana that should have been injected into the tower was instead injected into the Blaze Trap mageweath.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of time, Lin Li did not have the extra time to stabilize the structure of the entire mageweath. Even though the mana was devoured by the Figaro Mageweath and weakened by the Max Mageweath, the Blaze Trap mageweath could not be maintained for too long under the infusion of mana.
Although the four mageweaths could form a temporary balance, the Blaze Trap mageweath was still too fragile, after all. It could only last for 10 minutes at most before it would be broken by the massive mana, causing the entire structure of the mageweath to lose balance. Once the Blaze Trap mageweath was destroyed, the temporary balance would be broken, and everything would return to its original track.
It couldn't be helped. After all, they were in the Sky Castle, and the mana source of the Conquering Mageweath was too massive. It was not something that could be digested by a few mageweaths that were hastily set up. Besides, even if Lin Li had enough time to consolidate the entire mageweath structure, he would at most be able to extend the time by a little longer, and would not be able to achieve any substantial changes.
Besides, Lin Li was also well aware that extending the time would not be of much practical significance to the situation that they were in. If he couldn't open the path to the Teleportation Portal within 10 minutes, it would be useless no matter how long he extended the time. Once the Ghost in the sky was fully awakened, it would be a terrifying existence that was infinitely close to the Sanctuary-realm, and its immense power would be enough to wipe out everyone. Even if he took out the debris of the stars, it would not pose too much of a threat to the Ghost that was infinitely close to the Sanctuary-realm due to the fact that he did not have the real Stars of Fury.
As soon as Lin Li put away his brush and completed the four mageweaths, he darted towards another tower without stopping for a moment. Although Norfeller and Ujfalusi did not know what their master was doing, they knew what their current mission was even without Lin Li's instructions. The two Undead servants chased after their master with all their might in a bid to get rid of the Undead creatures that were blocking their master's way.
However, just as the two Undead servants were about to fly close to their master, they saw that their master had already put away his brush again, and left behind a few mageweaths that were constantly flashing. He then headed towards another tower in the other direction.
There were 36 towers and 144 Guru-level mageweaths, but Lin Li only had 10 seconds to complete them. For many people, 10 seconds was just like the blink of an eye or a few breaths. However, Lin Li had to go around the 36 towers of the Sky Castle in just 10 seconds, and leave four Guru-level mageweaths at the bottom of each tower. Besides, Lin Li also had to ensure that there were no problems with the mageweaths that he drew in such a short period of time. Otherwise, all his efforts would be in vain.
In the sky, the black fog seemed to have become a little thinner, but the death aura emitted by the Ghost became stronger, and its tall figure became clearer. In fact, one could even vaguely hear the low roars that sounded like rolling thunder. The massive pressure that was infinitely close to the Sanctuary-realm seemed to be substantial, and it brought uncontrollable fear to everyone.
On the ground, the Tide of Death was still continuously summoning a large number of Undead creatures, and the Undead Army was growing at an extremely fast speed. They were densely packed and devouring every inch of space in the Sky Castle. The boundless Undead creatures set off huge waves one after another, giving Cheyenne, Elder Randy, and the others no time to breathe. The attacks of the Undead creatures had also become much more frenzied, and were no longer as rigid as they were at the beginning.
At this moment, Cheyenne, Elder Randy, and the others all had bitter expressions on their faces. They originally thought that the treasure hunt had ended successfully, and that they had all obtained decent gains. They thought that their forces would definitely soar after they returned. In fact, when they got the items, they had already begun to fantasize about the various benefits that those items would bring to their forces, and how they would develop rapidly.
However, now that the Undead Army was advancing, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom. All their fantasies seemed so ridiculous now. No matter what they had gained, it would all be in vain. Where did that young mage who left early go? Did he really escape back to the Central Tower? Or perhaps, he could create another miracle at this time?
