The group of people flew all the way, and soon arrived at the source of the abnormality, which was the forbidden area of the Darkness Shrine, the Eternal Darkness Altar. The entire altar was extremely large, and looked like a carved hill that was surrounded by a thick Darkness aura. However, at this moment, the thick Darkness aura was constantly surging violently like the sea in a storm.
Lin Li had been in the Darkness Shrine for a long time, but it was his first time seeing the Eternal Darkness Altar. After all, he didn't want Sendros to mention anything about the Darkness Incarnation again. From afar, the Eternal Darkness Altar looked like a huge pyramid without a spire. There was a wide platform on top of it that seemed to be larger than the square outside the Darkness Shrine. On the platform of the altar, there was a massive and complicated Magic Array that was running at full speed. The thick Darkness aura and intense magical waves in the surroundings were all from the operation of the Magic Array.
The Magic Array should be the seal set up by High Priest Rogge. He used the entire Eternal Darkness Altar to seal it. Lin Li wondered what kind of powerful existence was being sealed. Lin Li knew that with the power of the seal, it wouldn't be difficult to seal a spacetime rift. However, judging from the previous disasters that the Darkness Shrine had faced and the current situation, the thing in the spacetime rift was probably the real target of the Eternal Darkness Altar's seal.
The tremors in the canyon did not stop, and the surrounding cliffs were constantly being shaken and shaken. It seemed that they would collapse at any time. The massive Eternal Darkness Altar was also shaking non-stop amidst the tremors, or rather, the violent tremors in the surroundings were probably caused by the Eternal Darkness Altar. It was as if something was trying to overturn the Eternal Darkness Altar from below.
Seeing that there were no prehistoric magical beasts around the Eternal Darkness Altar, the people of the Darkness Shrine couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. After all, even the Darkness Shrine during its heyday couldn't resist the attacks of the prehistoric magical beasts. The current Darkness Shrine probably wouldn't be able to fight back at all in the face of the prehistoric magical beasts.
However, Sendros didn't look relaxed at all. Instead, he seemed to be in a daze after some investigation. He muttered subconsciously, "The prophecy is true. The big rift has appeared, and a disaster is coming. Is the Darkness Shrine really unable to escape the fate of destruction …?"
The big rift! Could he be referring to that? In fact, Lin Li had already seen it too. It was at the bottom of the Eternal Darkness Altar, and it seemed to be mocking the world brazenly. However, to Lin Li's surprise, he actually sensed a familiar aura from the aura that leaked out of the crack. It seemed to be the aura of the Dragon of Destruction.
While Lin Li was shocked, he also couldn't figure it out. The Dragon of Destruction in the Endless World had already been stored in his Ring of Endless Storm, and the Dragon of Destruction in Anril had long been killed by the Immortal King, and its corpse was used in the construction of the Sky Castle. In Anril today, the magical crystal of the Dragon of Destruction that Lin Li possessed was the only trace left behind by the Dragon of Destruction. Where did the aura of the Dragon of Destruction that leaked out of the crack come from?
Lin Li had killed the Dragon of Destruction in the Endless World and fought with the Lord of Darkness, the projection of the Dragon of Destruction, in the Abyss of Tharlen. He had also been trying to incubate the magical crystal of the Dragon of Destruction. Hence, he was very familiar with the aura of the Dragon of Destruction. It was impossible for him to be mistaken. However, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't imagine the source of the aura of the Dragon of Destruction in the crack.
However, no matter what, it was definitely a powerful existence that could have the same aura as the Dragon of Destruction. Although Lin Li had killed the Dragon of Destruction before, that was in another world, and he had all seven pieces of the debris of the stars and the Stars of Fury at that time. It was also because of the battle with the Dragon of Destruction that Lin Li had a clearer understanding of the terrifying power of the Dragon of Destruction as the Dragon Aspect of Anril. It could be said that its power was above all Sanctuary powerhouses, and was not inferior to that of real gods.
While Lin Li was feeling puzzled about the aura of the Dragon of Destruction, Sendros had already snapped out of his daze. Without any delay, he commanded the five high priests and the many priests of the Darkness Shrine to strengthen the seal of the Eternal Darkness Altar. Sendros had no idea how much time the reinforcement could buy for the Darkness Shrine. He could only say that he had to do his best and leave it to fate.
Lin Li couldn't help much in strengthening the seal, and could only watch from near the crack. At the same time, he was also pondering about the issue of the aura of the Dragon of Destruction.
Under Sendros' command, the five high priests and the many priests of the Darkness Shrine continuously surrounded the Eternal Darkness Altar and repaired the damaged parts of the seal. With their actions, the Eternal Darkness Altar, which had been shaking uncontrollably, finally calmed down gradually, and the entire canyon also stopped shaking violently. The surging aura of Darkness that filled the surroundings of the Eternal Darkness Altar also slowly converged, and was absorbed by the magic array on the Eternal Darkness Altar.
However, at this moment, the crack that was about to be resealed also revealed the scene on the other side of the crack. Lin Li, who was standing in front of the crack, was shocked to see that there were indeed countless Minotaurs and three-headed Manticores at the other side of the crack, just as Sendros had said.
The Minotaurs had the head of a bull and the body of a human. They were all tall and burly, and looked much stronger than the giants of Anril. The double-edged axes in their hands were like two huge doors. Upon sight of the double-edged axes, Lin Li finally figured out how the deep grooves in the square in front of the Darkness Shrine came about. The three-headed Manticores that the Minotaurs were riding were also much more majestic than those that Lin Li had seen before. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to carry the tall Minotaurs and their axes.
It was no wonder that the Darkness Shrine had suffered a crushing defeat back then. If such a force were to really be placed in Anril, it would be equivalent to doomsday. The sturdiest city walls of humans probably wouldn't be able to withstand a blow from the axes in their hands, and the most elite human warriors would only be able to moan helplessly under their trampling.
However, when he glanced at the Minotaurs, Lin Li was surprised to see a somewhat familiar figure among the group of ferocious figures. When he saw the figure, a person naturally appeared in Lin Li's mind. Well, it wasn't a human, but a dragon.
Tutankhamun? The figure in the crack that Lin Li found familiar turned out to be exactly the same as Tutankhamun that he had seen before. When the face of the figure was revealed, Lin Li's shock was all over his face, because the face of the figure was no different from that of Tutankhamun. However, wasn't Tutankhamun on the Blackstone Mountains? Why would he appear in this spacetime rift!?
At this moment, the figure in the spacetime rift seemed to have also seen Lin Li, who was standing in front of the rift, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face. Along with the smile, a voice directly entered Lin Li's mind.
"Seems like you've already seen my disappointing younger brother."
With that voice, the doubts in Lin Li's heart seemed to have been instantly cut open by a sharp blade, and everything became clear at this moment. Lin Li remembered something that Connoris had said back then. The Immortal King had killed the Dragon of Destruction, obtained its magical crystal, and hatched a pair of twins with his mental strength. Tutankhamun was one of them, and the one in the rift was probably the other twin.
However, what Lin Li still couldn't understand was that he had met Tutankhamun before, but he had never met Tutankhamun's brother. Why did the other party seem to know him and even know that he had met Tutankhamun? Judging from the tone in which the other party mentioned Tutankhamun, it seemed that the twins did not have a good relationship. Hence, Tutankhamun shouldn't have specially come to tell him anything. What did Tutankhamun's brother have to do with the disappearance of High Priest Rogge, and the changes in Willen and Rodhart? Just as there were more and more questions in Lin Li's mind, the voice entered his mind again.
"I know you have a lot of questions. If you want to know the answer, let me out of this damned place."
It seemed that this guy was indeed sealed in this rift. It was no wonder that High Priest Rogge had to use the power of the entire Eternal Darkness Altar to suppress him. After all, he was a direct descendant of the Dragon of Destruction, and was far from what the wyrms in Anril could compare to. Even if he did not have half of the power of the Dragon of Destruction, he would definitely not be sealed easily.
After hearing the other party's words, Lin Li hesitated for a while, and then smiled again. He actually leaped into the rift, and replied to the figure, "Yes, I really want to know the answer … But I'm sorry, if I let you out, I might bring trouble to my friends, so … I have no choice but to come in myself …"
Lin Li was indeed putting himself in danger by doing that, but it was definitely not an impulsive decision. The other party was very strong, and there were many Minotaurs and three-headed Manticores around him. However, Lin Li was certain that they would definitely not be able to exert their full strength under the seal and suppression of High Priest Rogge in the spacetime rift. On the contrary, if they were really released, it would be a real disaster. Without the suppression of the seal, Lin Li might not even be able to keep his own life, let alone get any answers.
As Lin Li entered the rift, Sendros and the others outside the Eternal Darkness Altar were a little dumbfounded. A distinguished guest from the Tower of Dusk, who was likely to be the incarnation of the God of Darkness, actually broke into the big rift. That was not a joke. They had already guessed that the disappearance of High Priest Rogge was likely related to the big rift. Although Lin Li was not weak now, he could not compare to High Priest Rogge.
All of a sudden, everyone stopped and focused their attention on Sendros. However, Sendros was also extremely flustered at this moment. If he continued to reinforce the seal, would he seal Lin Li in it too? However, if he didn't continue to reinforce it, the prehistoric magical beasts would probably continue to attack the seal if Lin Li didn't do anything after entering. By then, it would be too late to reinforce the seal.
On the other hand, Lin Li had no way of knowing what was happening outside. Although it looked like a crack on the outside, it looked like a gate. However, when he walked in, he discovered that it was not a door, but a long and seemingly endless passage of time and space. It felt a bit like the Teleportation Portal that he had used to enter the Sky Castle. Outside the passage, Lin Li could see Nether Storms erupting from time to time, moving quickly and engulfing everything that they encountered.
Fortunately, it was a passage that had a clear direction, unlike the chaos of time and space where one could not figure out the direction. Without hesitation, Lin Li cast the Power of Flight with all his might, and flew towards the end of the passage. However, even with his speed, he finally saw a different scene at the end of the passage after flying for a long time.
When Lin Li finally passed through the long passage, and arrived at the other side of the passage, an extremely desolate world appeared in front of him. The place where he was standing seemed to be the mouth of a volcano. There was no greenery or vitality around him, and the entire space seemed to have fallen into a deathly stillness that was about to be destroyed.
The volcano was very tall, and standing at the mouth of the mountain was like standing in the sky. Lin Li looked around and saw that there were densely packed Minotaurs below the volcano, riding on ferocious three-headed Manticores. Around the Minotaurs and Manticores, there were countless huge eyeballs supported by tentacles. They were the Evil Eyes that Lin Li had seen in the Time Beacon Spell, but there didn't seem to be an existence like the Evil Eye Tyrant among them.
The person who claimed to be Tutankhamun's brother stood on the other side of the mouth of the volcano, facing Lin Li from afar. He seemed to be a little surprised by Lin Li's intrusion. His face was indeed no different from the Tutankhamun that Lin Li had seen before, but his entire body was filled with a violent aura of destruction and evil. This was something that Lin Li had never felt from Tutankhamun. To Lin Li, Tutankhamun was a mysterious hermit, and the one in front of him was undoubtedly the King of Evil and Destruction …
Yes, that's it. This is the aura of the Dragon of Destruction, this is the descendant of the Dragon of Destruction! Lin Li could clearly feel that the violent aura of destruction that the other party was emitting was exactly the same as the Dragon of Destruction in his memory. Although the Tutankhamun that he had seen before was also extremely powerful, the feeling that he gave off could not be linked to the Dragon of Destruction. If Connoris had not mentioned it, Lin Li would not have believed that Tutankhamun was actually a descendant of the Dragon of Destruction.
