Lin Li suddenly thought of the Immortal King's laboratory in the Sky Castle. Not only did Osric sweep away all the valuable items in the laboratory, but he even destroyed all the remaining items in the laboratory as if he was venting his anger. Is that what a student should do to his teacher? Osric mentioned the "true immortal" twice. Lin Li reckoned that the conflict between him and the Immortal King probably stemmed from their views on "immortality".
As for what exactly happened between the Immortal King and Osric, it was not something that Lin Li could guess. In short, be it in history or in myths and legends, the Immortal King who single-handedly created the High Elves Dynasty did not appear again after the High Elves Dynasty was overthrown. Highlord Osric, whose power might have reached the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, was unexpectedly approaching the end of his life.
"What immortality? You're just a body, just a body!" Angelano seemed to have completely broken down. The Alchemy Colossus that he was controlling raised its thick arm, and two highly condensed mana cannons were immediately shot at Osric who was in front of the crystal coffin.
No one expected Angelano, who was the most timid one, to be the first to strike. Of course, it wasn't because of his courage, but rather because he had gone crazy due to immense fear. After the two mana cannons that were as powerful as the real Magical Crystal Cannons, the chest armor of the Alchemy Colossus cracked open, revealing a projector that looked like a beehive. Dense magical gem-like mana bombs were shot at Osric like a swarm of bees.
However, the two mana cannons disappeared inexplicably before they could even hit Osric. The densely packed mana bombs did not even make a sound of an explosion before they were all sucked into a crack in space that Osric had casually opened. That was the power of a Sanctuary powerhouse. The massive attack was ended by Osric just like that, and Lin Li and the others were all terrified.
However, at this moment, everyone knew that they had no other way out. Osric, the infamous butcher from the Dark Age, would never show mercy to those who had offended him. As Angelano attacked crazily, the others gritted their teeth and charged towards Osric in unison without much communication. They began to besiege Osric who was in front of the crystal coffin.
It wasn't that they didn't want to escape, but who could escape from a level-26 or level-27 Sanctuary powerhouse? If he risked his life, there might be a chance of survival. Even though the possibility was very slim, it was at least a glimmer of hope. If they gave up resisting, there would only be death awaiting them. Osric would not show any mercy at all.
Lin Li held the Helios' Scepter in front of his chest, and the large gemstone at the top of the scepter emitted a dazzling light like a small sun, illuminating the surroundings like it was daytime in Anril. On the body of the scepter, complex magic patterns flickered with a dazzling halo along with the flow of mana. The intense mana fluctuations were like a surging tide, constantly surging and gathering even more power.
This was the first time Lin Li had used the Helios' Scepter to its limit after obtaining it. Massive mana was continuously injected into the scepter, and was purified and magnified under the effect of the mageweaths. Then, it was transformed into the purest magical power that accumulated in the gemstone at the top of the scepter.
The originally complicated and lengthy magic spell became sharp and high-pitched under Lin Li's full compression. The recitation that should have taken more than 10 seconds was compressed into three seconds. As the spell was recited, the void was covered by thick dark clouds that rolled downwards continuously as if they were going to press down on the people's heads. In the thick dark clouds, countless lightning snakes darted around, emitting a destructive aura as if it was the end of the world.
"Thunder Domain!" Lin Li pointed the Helios' Scepter at Osric, and as the scepter fell, there was a loud roar of thunder in the dark clouds, and pillars of lightning struck Osric from the dark clouds. The power of the level-23 Legendary Thunder Magic, coupled with Lin Li's research on the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, was enough to destroy a city instantly.
Upon seeing the Legendary Thunder Domain that Lin Li had cast, even Andoine and Rosen could not help but be moved. This was simply beyond the scope of ordinary magic, and was more like a real Thunder Domain. Rosen, in particular, felt that Lin Li was lucky to have so many powerful subordinates despite being threatened by Lin Li just now. He was a little disdainful of Lin Li's personal strength. However, now, Rosen had to admit that Lin Li definitely had the ability to threaten him even if he did not have those subordinates.
However, just when everyone was amazed by the power of Lin Li's magic, Highlord Osric, who was shrouded in the Thunder Domain, raised the spear in his hand with a calm expression. He did not even look at the sky above his head, and merely swung the spear gently.
Following Osric's movement, an extremely deep black crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the thick dark clouds. The constantly rolling dark clouds and the lightning snakes that were shuttling back and forth seemed to have found an exit, and surged towards the crack frantically. In just the blink of an eye, the void of the abyss appeared in front of everyone's eyes again. The Thunder Domain that seemed to be able to destroy everything just now actually disappeared without a trace.
Although everyone had a premonition that Lin Li could not use a Legendary magic to cause any harm to Osric, Osric did not dodge or evade. Instead, he merely raised his spear and swung it towards the sky. The ease with which he resolved the problem still made everyone's hearts sink to the bottom.
That was a Legendary-level magic that had already formed a domain. Although it was only level-23, with the nomological power contained in it, its power was definitely not comparable to that of Legendary-level magic. The only thing that everyone could be thankful for was that they did not cast their respective Magical Domains at the beginning. Otherwise, their Magical Domains would have been easily torn apart by Osric, and they would have to bear more than just the loss of mana.
"Damn it, with Nothingness in his hands, he can easily resolve any kind of attack as long as he opens a crack in space." Lin Li gripped the Helios' Scepter tightly in his hand. Although he was complaining, he did not stop moving. The gem on the top of the Helios' Scepter burst into a dazzling light again.
Nothingness, which contained the nomological power of Chaos, was not the most powerful or the sharpest among the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. However, its power was the most mysterious and difficult to fathom. Its attack was extremely strange, and it would be impossible for the enemy to defend against it. It was like a nightmare. Besides, its defense was not limited like magical shields. A crack in space could lead the enemy's attack into the chaos of time and space, and it would definitely be a huge headache for all the enemies.
Of course, in order to exert the power of Nothingness, one would not be able to do so without sufficient strength. Even when Lin Li had the Stars of Fury before he transmigrated, he did not dare to use Nothingness easily. Even if Lin Li had Nothingness now, he would not be able to use it as easily as Osric did. That would require a thorough understanding and mastery of the power of Nothingness in order to truly exert its power. Otherwise, he might very well lose his life.
Seeing that the Thunder Domain that had just been completed was dispelled by Osric, Lin Li was not too surprised. Almost at the same time that the Thunder Domain was devoured by the crack in space, another powerful Legendary-level magic spell was completed. The Sigh of the Snow Goddess! An extremely cold air was blown out along with Lin Li's hand, and the ground that it passed was instantly covered with a thick layer of frost. It was as if the frost had a life of its own as it rapidly spread towards Osric's feet.
Although Lin Li had yet to obtain the debris of the stars, Polar Snow, ice magic was his foundation. When he first obtained Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, he created the Frost Light and Darkness Domain using the Laws of Ice to maintain the balance between Holy Light and Gloomy Dark. Hence, in terms of the Laws of Ice, Lin Li's mastery was actually no less than the Laws of Light and Darkness. It was only later on that he gave up on the Laws of Ice for the sake of the purity of the power in the Magical Domain.
The Sigh of the Snow Goddess, a Legendary-level ice magic spell, was said to be able to freeze everything in the world. Even the souls of humans would be frozen in that absolute coldness. Wouldn't Osric be able to open a spatial rift and devour the attacks that were aimed at him? However, the inside of the spatial rift was a cold world without any temperature. If both sides were the same, what was there to devour? Of course, it also depended on who the opponent was. Lin Li did not expect such a spell to really be able to trap Osric in the ice coffin again. He only hoped that the slowing effect of the ice magic spell could have a little effect.
At the same time, Andoine, Rosen, and Aldwin also waved the staffs in their hands and recited spells continuously. Powerful Legendary-level magic spells were smashed towards Osric. Fortunately, after the fierce battle with the Zago Demons, Lin Li had used Balak's magical crystal to replenish everyone's mana, allowing them to recover more than half of their strength. Otherwise, they would not even have the ability to fight with their lives on the line.
Just as the thick frost on the ground spread to Osric's feet, the spells of the Legendary-mages had already arrived. Several powerful Legendary-level spells converged into a terrifying magic storm that drowned Osric's body in an instant. However, through the dazzling magical light, everyone watched in dismay as the tall figure waved his spear left and right casually, and small cracks in space blocked the bombardment of magic spells. Like a whale sucking in water, those powerful spells and magic fluctuations instantly converged, and were all directly sucked into the spatial rift.
When the light dissipated, the frost on the ground was still there, and Osric stood there with his spear in hand. He did not move at all. Seeing this situation, everyone felt a deep sense of helplessness. This was the difference between the Sanctuary-realm and the Legendary-realm. It was like the difference between a god and a mortal.
"Damn it, there's no effect at all. Connoris, quickly think of a way. Isn't this the abyss? Is there anything that can suppress him?" Lin Li urged Connoris while continuing to cast magic spells. Regardless of whether there was an effect or not, they could not stop. Otherwise, they would really die.
Lin Li thought of the battle with the Lord of Darkness. It was with the demonic runes that Connoris had taught him that he mobilized the incomparable power of the abyss to suppress the Lord of Darkness. Now that they were on the 72nd floor of the abyss, if they could also mobilize the power of the abyss like that, they might be able to suppress Osric.
"Since it's a perfect body that's stronger than the wyrms and Titans, how could it be affected by this little slowing effect? As for the power of the abyss, don't count on it. Don't forget that Balak was killed by Osric in his own territory. He wouldn't be so stupid as to not know how to use the power of the abyss. This can only mean that it has no effect on Osric. The difference in strength is too great. This time, I really can't help you. "Connoris' tone was filled with helplessness. This time, it was really impossible for them to escape.
"Don't f * cking pour cold water on me. Quickly think of a way, or else we're all doomed this time!" Lin Li anxiously scolded Connoris. At the same time, he began to recite the ancient demonic runes that he had used to deal with the Lord of Darkness. Although Connoris had already said that the power of the Abyss would have no effect on Osric, Lin Li couldn't wait to try all the methods that he could in such a desperate situation.
18 runes formed an obscure and short incantation, and flowed out of Lin Li's mouth quickly. Suddenly, the power of the entire abyss boiled, and surged towards Osric like a surging river. However, just like what Connoris said, Osric was not the Lord of Darkness. Back then, even the real ancient deity Balak could not do anything to Osric, let alone a small human like Lin Li.
Osric's body stiffened slightly, and he disappeared from where he was in a flash. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Lin Li, and the spear that had transformed from nothingness pierced towards Lin Li's heart like a bolt of lightning. At this moment, Lin Li had just used the demonic runes to mobilize the power of the entire 72nd floor of the abyss. Although it did not exceed the endurance of his body, it inevitably caused him to slow down for two seconds.
At this moment, a black bolt of lightning suddenly appeared beside Lin Li, and a huge force knocked Lin Li away. Among the people present, only the Legendary-level Vampire Norfeller could have such speed. However, even with Norfeller's speed, there was no room for him to dodge after he knocked Lin Li away. He was merely grazed by the Void Spear, and half of his body shattered like glass that had been smashed.
