"Great Lord Angelano, what can I do for you?" Facing the tall Alchemy Colossus, Lin Li had no choice but to raise his head with a cold expression.
"Hey!" Angelano's arrogant laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked at the human mage who seemed extremely tiny at this moment. If it were in the past, he would have already stepped on him mercilessly. However, even with the protection of the Titan Colossus, he couldn't help but shiver when he saw the cold smile on Lin Li's face.
"Lord Felic, I was just shouting casually. Yes, I was just shouting casually." The patterns on the Alchemy Colossus flickered a few times, and it squatted down as if it was trying to curry favor with Angelano.
Angelano managed to survive until now not only because of the powerful Alchemy Colossus, but also because he knew how to avoid harm and seek benefits. To put it bluntly, he was just acting according to the situation. Although he had always felt that he had been defeated because he fell for Lin Li's tricks, he felt that there should be nothing to be afraid of now that he had regained the Alchemy Colossus. However, after thinking about it carefully, he wondered if Lin Li really didn't have anything to rely on since he could let him enter the Alchemy Colossus without any worries.
The torture that the Fire Demon King had suffered was still lingering in Angelano's mind, and he shuddered at the thought of how death had become an extravagant hope. Besides, he didn't want to die at all. Angelano didn't have the courage to gamble with his life. He wouldn't even be willing to be electrocuted like before, let alone die.
Seeing that Lin Li had subdued Angelano, everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The size of the Alchemy Colossus was too oppressive, and it was much more sturdy than the Fire Demon King. No one would be willing to fight with such a huge guy unless they had no other choice.
After resting, the team formed a neat defensive formation, and slowly walked into the gate that was constantly rippling. Behind Lin Li, the Alchemy Colossus that Angelano was controlling moved carefully, for fear of making any movements that would cause the human demon to be displeased.
Looking from the outside of the spire, the six-story spire was only about a hundred meters tall, and each story was about ten to twenty meters tall. Unexpectedly, after walking inside, each story seemed to be a world of its own, and the distance between the sky and the earth seemed to be thousands of meters. The rippled gate was originally only the size of an ordinary city gate, but when the Alchemy Colossus was about to enter, it suddenly became extremely large, allowing the Titan-level Alchemy Colossus to enter smoothly.
Everyone was imagining what it would be like on the sixth floor of the steeple, where Osric's coffin was placed. When they saw the scene behind the door, they were all stunned by everything in front of them.
Everyone looked up. Above their heads was an endless void. The deep darkness seemed to be able to devour everything, and beneath their feet was an inextinguishable pale flame. It burned fiercely, but no one could feel the slightest bit of warmth. This was a completely independent world. Darkness, destruction, brutality, evil, and various other negative auras filled the entire space. It was so oppressive that it could cause an ordinary person to collapse in an instant.
In the distant void, an incomparably huge crystal coffin was floating in mid-air, constantly emitting a faint halo, like the sun and moon in this world. According to what the Fire Demon King had once said, the huge crystal coffin was most likely the coffin in which Osric was resting.
"Damn it, why is it here? Why would that lunatic Osric place his coffin here!?" Connoris roared hysterically in Lin Li's mind, and there was even some fear in his voice.
"What? You know where this place is?" Lin Li was shocked, and immediately felt that something was amiss. Although Connoris was only a soul that lived in a hammer, he definitely had a lot of knowledge. It was said that he was once a real ancient deity in the abyss, and there were definitely not many places in Anril that could make him feel uncontrollably afraid.
"You guys are in a place that you shouldn't be in. If I remember correctly, this is the 72nd floor of the abyss, the territory of that tyrant Balak!" Connoris said with difficulty. Clearly, he was not optimistic about the situation that Lin Li and the others were about to face.
"Damn it!" Lin Li was shocked by Connoris' words. Although he did not know how terrifying Balak's strength was, he knew that Balak was definitely not easy to deal with just based on the fact that they were on the 72nd floor of the abyss.
"Felic, what's wrong?" Andoine asked with concern when he noticed that Lin Li's expression was not right.
"I'm afraid this world is the 72nd floor of the abyss." Lin Li did not deliberately lower his voice. Although this news might affect the team's morale, it would be better to let everyone know earlier so that they could be prepared.
Lin Li's words immediately caused everyone to gasp in shock. Even Andoine and the other Legendary powerhouses had a drastic change in expression. Although they also thought that the space at the top of the minaret could have been overlapped with a terrifying space by Osric after seeing the surrounding scenery, the 72nd floor of the abyss was definitely beyond their imagination. However, the 72nd floor of the abyss was definitely beyond their imagination. Even though there weren't many descriptions of this place in the various documents and myths, they still knew that it was definitely a forbidden place, even for Sanctuary powerhouses.
Although the mages of the team were all outstanding and strong-willed elites who had gone through countless battles, the 72nd floor of the abyss still gave them a huge shock. Many of them could not help but look behind them, hoping that the door that sent them there was still there. Unfortunately, to everyone's disappointment, there was no longer any door except for the Alchemy Colossus that Angelano controlled. Everything had become the same as the surroundings.
Although they could not get more detailed information from Connoris like Lin Li, they knew how hopeless the 72nd floor of the abyss was through the records of the various myths and legends. The Fire Demon King that had just had a thrilling battle with the team was only the Demon Lord of the 68th floor of the abyss. Besides, the Gates of the Abyss had not been fully opened, and the countless Fire Demons had not been released.
However, what they did not know was that the truth that Lin Li heard from Connoris was actually far more exaggerated and terrifying than what was described in the myths and legends. However, Lin Li could not say that there was no way out now. Although cutting off all means of retreat would increase the morale of the team, too little hope would make them break down instantly.
Everyone knew that this was the 72nd floor of the abyss. According to the myths and common sense, be it demons or Demon Lords, they would definitely be much stronger than the previous floors. However, Lin Li also knew that the ruler of this floor of the abyss, Tyrant Balak, was not an ordinary Demon Lord, nor was he a descendant who had inherited the bloodline. Instead, he was one of the 99 real ancient deities who created the Endless Abyss.
Just like how Connoris used to be an ancient deity who mastered conspiracy and deception on the 90th floor of the abyss, Tyrant Balak dominated all disasters such as wars, plagues, famine, and natural disasters in the world. Hence, he was called the Lord of Disasters. According to Connoris' memories, Tyrant Balak was one of the strongest ancient deities even in the prehistoric times. In the 72nd floor of the abyss, the demons led by Tyrant Balak were also the Zago Demons who were known for their strong combat abilities.
Lin Li took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He suppressed the waves of emotions that were stirred up by Connoris' information, and stared at the huge crystal coffin that was floating in the air in front of him. He could clearly feel the unique aura of the debris of the stars, Nothingness, from the magical wave that was emitted by the crystal coffin.
The aura of Nothingness made Lin Li feel energized. There was a saying that went, "Since you're already here, you'd better make the best out of it. Since there was no way out, it was better to think about how to deal with the upcoming crisis, and how to successfully obtain Nothingness.
Lin Li carefully sized up the crystal coffin in the sky, and carefully probed it with his mental strength. However, when he scanned the crystal coffin with his mental strength, he was shocked. Although he knew that Osric's coffin could not be made of ordinary crystals, he did not expect this huge crystal coffin to be made of the Crystal of Rest!
The nature of the Crystal of Rest was somewhat similar to the Crystal of Eternity that Lin Li had obtained before. To pharmacists, the Crystal of Rest was simply a godsend. It seemed to be useless if it was not sculpted, but if it was sculpted into a potion bottle by a master jeweler, its value would immediately increase by a hundredfold. Potions that were stored in potion bottles carved from the Crystal of Rest almost meant that they could be stored forever, and the longer they were stored, the richer the attributes of the potions in the crystal bottles would become.
Compared to the Crystal of Rest, the Crystal of Rest was more than a thousand times rarer and more valuable. It was said that the High Elves used to like to make the Crystal of Rest into exquisite ornaments and wear them on the bodies of the dead. That way, the corpses would still be lifelike after thousands of years, as if they were still in deep sleep.
"Damn it, it's actually the Crystal of Rest. No wonder Osric purposely swept through the 20th floor of the abyss back then. It turns out that he wanted to get this crystal coffin for himself!" Connoris began to sympathize with the demons of the 20th floor of the abyss back then. They were actually massacred because of a crystal coffin.
Only the unique environment of the 20th floor of the abyss could produce the precious Crystal of Rest. However, even in this so-called production area, the number of Crystal of Rest was extremely rare. Even the nobles of the High Elves would usually only use the Crystal of Rest to make a small ornament, and the power of the small ornament was enough to ensure that the corpse would not change for thousands of years.
