What a joke! Why didn't you tell me to stop when I was bullying the mages who weren't even in the Legendary-realm!? Lin Li's lips twitched slightly. He really didn't expect an Undead Lord who was only left with bones to be so spineless.
Based on the current situation, everyone could tell that Megard didn't need to do much. As long as he maintained the Meteor Shower for a few more seconds, the three Undead Lords would definitely be destroyed.
However, what Lin Li didn't expect was that Megard, the arbitrator of the Supreme Council, waved his staff gently after hearing the Skeleton King's shout, and the starlight in the sky gradually converged. He actually ended the Starfall attack just like that.
"This …" Lin Li looked at Andoine and Rosen, only to see that they didn't seem surprised at all. Hence, he recalled the Skeleton King's words of begging for mercy just now.
It's Geresco again. Why did Geresco promise not to kill them? With Megard's strength, killing the three Undead Lords would be no different from crushing three bugs, let alone Geresco, the God of Mages. It could be said that in the past 1,300 years, the Supreme Council could have wiped out the Shadowglen at any time without any effort at all. There had to be a reason why the Shadowglen had existed for so many years.
The area where the Shadowglen was located was not a barren land. If it was in the Dragon Mountains or the Haiga Mountain Range, it would naturally not matter. However, they were in Alanna, which was close to the capital of the Felan Kingdom. What exactly was Geresco planning to let such an unsafe factor exist for thousands of years?
Could it be that he wanted them to guard Osric's mausoleum? That would be a joke. The Supreme Council had only decided to explore Osric's mausoleum after studying it for so many years. It could be said that even if the place was completely opened, no one in Anril would be able to take anything out of the mausoleum.
There was another question that made Lin Li puzzled. The three Undead Lords in the Shadowglen looked very similar to the three Undead Lords that he had encountered in the Seven-Realm Spiral. How were they related to the Immortal King? He remembered that when he participated in the trial back then, one of his opponents had become the puppet of the Undead Monarch and said some strange things to him. It seemed to be related to the Immortal King.
After thinking about it for a moment, a bitter smile appeared on Lin Li's face. Although he seemed to be getting more and more information, he still felt that there was an unbreakable barrier between them. It was like touching a dragon blindfolded from head to tail, but there was no way to know what a dragon looked like.
The Skeleton King begged for mercy, and the terrifying Meteor Shower finally stopped. Watching the slightly hunched figure disappear from the Sky Tower, the three Undead Lords could not help but heave a sigh of relief even though they did not need to breathe. Initially, they thought that since Geresco was no longer around, and the three of them had improved their strength over the past 1,000 years, they should not be afraid of anyone anymore. However, they didn't expect that they were still so far away from the Sanctuary-realm.
"Since you still remember Geresco, let's open the Immortal Door according to the agreement we made back then." Megard's old voice sounded from the Sky Tower.
The three Undead Lords shuddered in unison, and the soul fire in their eye sockets flickered a few times. Finally, they calmed down, struggled to get up from the ground, and walked towards the depths of the Shadowglen as if they had accepted their fate.
The Immortal Door! Hearing Megard's words, Lin Li was shocked again. Aren't we here to explore Osric's mausoleum? Does it have something to do with the Immortal King again? Although he seemed to have obtained a lot of benefits from the various arrangements made by the Immortal King, Lin Li still felt a little uneasy, especially since he couldn't get rid of the Immortal King's shadow no matter where he went.
While Lin Li was feeling bewildered, the three Undead Lords had already walked to the deepest part of the Shadowglen. In a large open space, the three Undead Lords stood still and chanted an obscure incantation in unison. It wasn't the language of the High Elves, nor was it the language of the dragons or the language of the Titans. It seemed to be a simple combination of tones. However, every tone was able to cause the vibration and resonance of the nomological power in this world.
With the chanting of the incantation, the dark clouds in the sky above the Shadowglen rolled and overlapped, as if they were about to press down on their heads. From time to time, the sky would be illuminated by lightning. A series of colorful ripples flashed between heaven and earth, and the entire space seemed to be extremely distorted under the gorgeous ripples. There were also strange sounds of explosions, which were either crisp or dull, as if the space was about to collapse.
At this moment, in this world, the balance and stability of the nomological power that constituted the foundation of this world were all boiling at this moment. The extremely chaotic nomological power turned the place into a Magic-forbidding space, and any mage who wanted to cast magic spells here would be torn into pieces by the power of the backlash.
The three Undead Lords chanted the incantation more and more rapidly, and the soul fire in their eye sockets emitted an unprecedented ray of light. The entire Shadowglen began to shake violently, and with a deafening roar, the solid ground was slowly torn apart by an invisible force, revealing a large black vortex in the crack.
What Immortal Gate? This is clearly a solidified Void Channel! Lin Li looked at the scene displayed in the crystal ball, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. It was no wonder that the three Undead Lords would create such a huge commotion. The Void Channel was simply an existence that destroyed the World Laws. Once it appeared, it would definitely be repelled by the nomological power of this world.
The magic of the Void Channel had already surpassed the scope of magic. It used the power produced by the destruction of the nomological power to achieve the effect of crossing the obstacles of space. A powerhouse at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm might be able to cast this magic for a short period of time, but to permanently solidify this magic that did not conform to the World Laws in this world was probably something that only the gods could do.
In fact, the role played by the three Undead Lords was just a key to open the door and summon the Void Channel that had been permanently solidified here. Not to mention the three level-23 Undead Lords, even the Highlord Osric probably did not have such an ability to solidify the Void Channel. Perhaps that was the origin of the name Immortal Gate. Only the Immortal King, who was comparable to the gods, could do such a heaven-defying thing.
Why didn't he use the Teleportation Portal? Would he die if he didn't show off!? Faced with the Immortal King's repeated acts of showing off, Lin Li was so infuriated that he gritted his teeth. Of course, he also knew that if he used the Teleportation Portal, he would be buried alive if there was a deviation in the Teleportation Portal that was thousands or tens of thousands of meters underground. Even a Sanctuary powerhouse would not be able to escape from being buried thousands or tens of thousands of meters underground. Even the gods would probably be half-dead, unless they were the Earth Goddess.
The Teleportation Portal was not safe! Lin Li had a deep understanding of that. When he came out of the Sky Castle, the Teleportation Portal was affected because of the collision between the Holy Light and the Ghost's Undead Heaven. As a result, he was trapped in the chaos of time and space for half a year. That was because he was lucky. If he had been unlucky, the Teleportation Portal would have collapsed, and he would have been left floating in the chaos of time and space. He might have been torn into pieces by the Nether Storm at any time.
As for digging a tunnel, that was even more ridiculous. God knew how far apart the two sides were. This was not Earth, and until now, no one had proven that Anril was round. Hence, even the gods did not know how thick the earth was.
Now that the Void Channel had been summoned, what should they do next? Lin Li and the others looked at the arbitrator Megard, who was in charge of the operation, and waited for the next arrangements.
"The Immortal Door has been opened, and Osric's mausoleum is on the other side of the Immortal Door. Although there are still infinite dangers inside, I will not be able to go with you. In order to keep the Immortal Door open, I have to stay here and maintain the operation of the Sky Tower. I'll use the power of the tower to suppress the Immortal Door and wait for your return, "Megard said calmly to everyone while looking at the image displayed in the crystal ball.
Although having a powerful Sanctuary powerhouse by his side would indeed reduce a lot of trouble when exploring Osric's mausoleum, Lin Li did not feel much of a pity about the fact that Megard had to stay there. What he was most worried about was that the debris of the stars, Nothingness, that he was looking for, would be related to what the Supreme Council was looking for. Hence, it was not a bad thing for Megard not to follow him in.
Besides, Lin Li was also very clear that Megard's words were indeed true. The Void Channel was like a spatial rift that could not be controlled by the laws of this world. After it was opened, it would need to continuously consume power to maintain it. Otherwise, it would soon be repaired by the laws of the world like a spatial rift. Although it could be reopened, the Undead creatures were not trustworthy creatures. Without Megard keeping an eye on them, they would not take the initiative to open the Immortal Door.
On the other hand, Aldwin couldn't help but look worried when he heard that Megard couldn't go with them. He thought to himself, Without the arbitrator, Andoine and Rosen won't have anyone to suppress. The conflict between the two of them has been going on for a long time. God knows what kind of trouble they'll cause after they go in. However, he could not say that to Megard. After all, he was the only arbitrator who could make the three Undead Lords lower their heads. Besides, he might even offend Andoine and Rosen.
