To Lin Li, Cheyenne, and Elder Randy, 10 seconds was like a countdown to their lives. Cheyenne, Elder Randy, and the rest could no longer be bothered to consider whether they should conserve their energy or not. All they knew was that they had to resist the attacks of the Undead creatures. Judging from the current situation, they would probably be drowned in the sea of Undead creatures before the Ghosts in the sky were fully awakened.
There were constantly Undead creatures forming groups in a bid to stop Lin Li, but Lin Li had already exerted his Power of Flight to the limit, and was almost at the point of teleportation. Even Norfeller couldn't catch up with Lin Li's speed, and the Undead creatures had yet to fill up the sky and ground. Hence, they naturally couldn't do anything to Lin Li.
Lin Li furrowed his brows and pursed his lips. He kept urging himself in his heart, Faster, faster. He had never felt that time was so precious. It truly made him understand what it meant by time was life. If he couldn't finish drawing all the mageweaths in 10 seconds, he would lose everything even if there was only one tower left.
Lin Li circulated his mental strength to the extreme, and the massive mana in his body surged continuously, almost as if it was going to break out of his body. In his eyes, there was nothing left. The boundless army of Undead creatures had disappeared, and so had the Ghosts in the sky that were about to awaken. Cheyenne, Elder Randy, and the rest had also disappeared. There was only that tower and the next one.
Even Lin Li himself didn't know if he could complete all the mageweaths in such a short period of time. He could only try his best to overdraft his mental strength and mana in order to be faster. Lin Li's figure would only appear when he was drawing the mageweaths. His arm left an afterimage as he waved the inscription crystal pen in his hand, creating a hazy halo. As the mageweath was drawn, mana surged out. Before the halo of the crystal pen dissipated, he had already arrived in front of the next tower, and repeated what he had done just now.
The Undead creatures that had received instructions to stop Lin Li even received new instructions as soon as they changed their direction. Hence, they had no choice but to change their direction. The group of Undead creatures actually began to turn around helplessly under the continuous instructions. It was because they had no idea where they should go in order to stop Lin Li.
He had drawn 144 Guru-level mageweaths on the 36 towers in just 10 seconds. No one would believe it if he told them about it. Ten seconds would not even be enough to walk through all 36 towers, let alone inscribe a Guru-level mageweath. Drawing 144 Guru-level mageweaths required a terrifying amount of mana and mental strength, not to mention that he only had 10 seconds to do so.
If it weren't for the fact that Lin Li's strength had reached the peak of level-22 previously, and the breakthrough in his understanding of nomological power, he probably wouldn't have been able to achieve such a speed and quantity even if he could draw the mageweaths at this time.
Fortunately, Lin Li's mental strength had been growing rapidly under the stimulation of the Evil Eye Tyrant's magical crystal ring. Fortunately, Lin Li's mental strength was purified by the massive control crystal in the Central Tower. It was precisely because of this that Lin Li chose this dangerous path. It was not because he was overestimating himself, but because he knew his own strength.
If Lin Li's current strength was the same as when he had just arrived at the Sky Castle, he would definitely be able to escape. In that case, his first choice was to return to the sixth floor of the Central Tower, which was the shelter created by the Immortal King. Regardless of whether he was imprisoned or not, his priority was to preserve his life.
However, Lin Li was now very clear about his own abilities, and knew what he could and could not do. In 10 seconds, he had to go around the 36 towers and draw 144 Guru-level mageweaths. That was a task that others would think impossible, but Lin Li was confident that he could give it a try.
"Roar!"
An angry roar came from the sky. The specter tore apart the thick black fog and seemed to take a step forward to completely crush the little bug below. The Undead army became restless, and the speed at which the Door of Darkness spat out became much faster. A large number of Undead creatures swarmed out.
Cheyenne, Elder Randy, and the others had nowhere to retreat. They leaned against the base of the Central Tower and looked at the Undead creatures that were surging towards them in despair. Cheyenne's face was pale, and his hands were trembling as he gripped the Dark Moon Staff tightly. The people around him all looked extremely disheveled, and even the sacred unicorn was covered in wounds of various sizes.
The last tower! Lin Li suddenly appeared, but the surroundings of the tower were already densely packed with countless Undead creatures. Lin Li did not even have the time to cast a protective spell. As soon as he appeared, he had already raised his hand to draw on the base of the tower with an inscription crystal pen before the Undead creatures could react.
The Skeletal Warriors that were glowing with a metallic luster raised their sharp swords at Lin Li, and countless Necromagic spells were shot at Lin Li from all directions. However, just as the swords were about to touch Lin Li, he finally completed the last stroke, and everything around him froze in an instant.
In 10 seconds, 36 towers and 144 Guru-level mageweaths were completed. Lin Li was so exhausted that he was almost out of energy. His mental strength was overdrawn, and he had a splitting headache. His body also felt weak due to the lack of mana. After all the mageweaths were drawn, Lin Li felt that he could barely stand. Facing the swords and swords that were slashing towards him, and the Necromagic spells that could almost cover the sky above his head, he could not even spare a single bit of mana to cast the lowest-level defensive spells.
Everything depended on whether his plan would succeed or not. Otherwise, he would die a horrible death. Lin Li did not immediately take out the huge magical crystal to recover, and instead relied on the recovery power of the Star-scarred Robe to support his body.
In the sky, the Ghost that had been sleeping for thousands of years roared and tore apart the thick black fog. Its tall figure was almost completely revealed, and a massive death aura enveloped the entire Sky Castle.
Finally, it awakened!? Under the majestic pressure of death, Cheyenne, Elder Randy, and the others could not help but feel a sense of despair on their faces. The Undead creature in the sky was an almost invincible existence below the Sanctuary-realm. Its awakening meant that they no longer had a chance!
However, at this moment, the 36 towers suddenly emitted a dazzling ray of light at an extremely fast speed. When all 36 towers lit up, the entire Sky Tower was shrouded by the dazzling light that was as bright as the sun. Everything was immersed in the sea of light. The thick and substantial death aura that filled the Sky Castle was swept away in an instant.
Seeing that the Blaze Light Trap Mageweath had been activated normally, Lin Li closed his eyes in relief and avoided the dazzling light. He no longer had to worry about everything around him. The countless Necromagic spells that flew above Lin Li's head instantly vanished under the illumination of the light before they could even land on him. The swords that had already touched Lin Li's body melted like snow in the light. The Undead Army surrounding Lin Li began to emit thick black smoke, and even the Legendary golden Skeletal Warriors turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
The Ghost in the sky was vaguely about to break away from the thick black fog, but at this moment, it was pulled back by the rolling black fog again, leaving only an indignant roar that resounded throughout the entire Sky Castle.
In the magic circuit of the Conquering Mageweath, the surging mana was devoured by the Fergaro Mageweath and weakened by the Max Mageweath. Finally, it was injected into the Blaze Light Trap Mageweath by Buwanga Mageweath. Although it had been filtered by three Guru-level mageweaths, the mana was still extremely powerful, and the power of the Blaze Light Trap Mageweath was maximized.
The explosion of the 36 Blaze Light Trap Mageweaths completely ignited the Sky Castle that had been silent for a long time. From the outside, the entire Sky Castle looked like a sun that was emitting endless light, and everything was being devoured by the light. The boundless sea of Undead creatures melted instantly like snow under the sun without any resistance.
When the light was no longer so dazzling, Lin Li knew that it was time to leave. The mana source of the Conquering Mageweath was too powerful, and even though he had set up four Guru-level mageweaths, he could not block the massive mana for too long. Once the Blaze Light Trap Mageweath collapsed under the infusion of mana, everything would return to its original trajectory.
"What are you waiting for? Run!" Lin Li yelled at Cheyenne and the others before rushing towards the Teleportation Portal with the two Undead servants. Although the light that erupted from the Blaze Light Trap Mageweath would cause great damage to the Undead creatures, Norfeller and Ujfalusi were not weak, after all. Hence, they endured the burning pain in their bodies and followed their master closely as they shuttled through the sea of light.
Cheyenne, Elder Randy, and the others were already dumbfounded by the sudden change. The scale of the Undead Army just now had almost drowned the entire Sky Castle. It was not just tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but more than a million Undead creatures. No one knew what the young mage had done to almost wipe out the entire Undead Army in an instant. Even the Legendary-level Undead creatures became extremely weak under the light, and it was probably only a matter of time before they were melted by the light.
When they heard Lin Li's yell, everyone suddenly snapped out of their shock. Looking at the straight street that was almost no longer blocked by the Undead creatures, everyone hurriedly pulled themselves together and scurried towards the Teleportation Portal in the distance. Although they did not know what the young mage had done, the terrifying Undead creature in the sky was still there, and everything in front of them was probably just a flash in the pan. If they did not seize the time to escape, they would regret it.
Everyone rushed towards the Teleportation Portal, and even when they passed by the weak Legendary-level Undead creatures, no one bothered to touch them. The desperate situation they had just faced was too terrifying, and all they wanted to do now was to leave this place as soon as possible.
At some point, the indignant roars of the Ghosts in the sky disappeared, replaced by a low chant that no one could understand. It seemed to be brewing some magic.
"Quick, run, it's the Undead Heaven!"
Connoris' horrified voice sounded in Lin Li's mind.
Lin Li's heart sank, and he turned around to yell at the people behind him, "Hurry up, it's the Undead Heaven!"
After leaving this place, be it the Malfa Family or the elves represented by Chief Elder Randy, they would all be the most important partners of the Tower of Dusk. Lin Li did not want the conditions that he had negotiated with them to be nullified because they could not get out of here.
Upon hearing Lin Li's yell, the people at the back could not hide the panic on their faces. They endured the exhaustion of the battle, and desperately increased their speed to the extreme. Although they could not understand the magic spell that the Undead creature in the sky was chanting, no one doubted Lin Li's words.
The Undead Heaven was a legendary level-27 Necromagic spell, and the ultimate form of Necromagic Domains. It was even more powerful than the Seven-Realm Spiral, and it could truly create an Undead World that belonged to itself in this space. Under the shroud of the Undead Heaven, all vitality would be transformed into the aura of death, and all living creatures would be completely turned into Undead creatures. Their soul fire would be imprisoned forever, and even Legendary powerhouses would not be an exception.
Although they had just experienced a fierce battle, no one dared to slack off under the threat of the terrifying magic spell known as the Undead Heaven. Instead, they desperately squeezed out every bit of potential in their bodies in a bid to rush into the Teleportation Portal before the Undead Heaven was completed. However, due to the pressure of the Undead Army just now, the people who were originally close to the Teleportation Portal were now much further away from it.
The continuous chanting of magic spells in the sky was like the footsteps of the Grim Reaper, and everyone could hear it one after another. When they were outside, they were all influential figures with their Legendary strength, but now, no one cared about being graceful, and escaping was the most important thing. Even Chief Elder Randy, who had been through countless hardships, was full of anxiety and panic. Under the Undead Heaven, a level-23 Legendary powerhouse was nothing.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the Legendary Portal, the chanting in the sky became more and more rapid, and it seemed that it was time for the magic spell to be completed. While escaping, everyone looked at the sky in panic, but they could vaguely see black rays flashing, and the powerful Undead Heaven seemed to be about to erupt at any time.
Although Lin Li had expended a lot of mental strength and mana in order to complete the 144 Guru mageweaths, he fortunately had plenty of good stuff. The Evil Eye Tyrant's Magical Crystal Ring had a good recovery effect on mental strength, and the Star-scarred Robe that he had obtained from Chief Elder Randy could continuously recover mana. Hence, his speed of escape was not greatly affected.
