However, the Crimson Dragon was not an idiot, and it knew that the worm would not be burned to ashes by its dragon breath. After spitting out its dragon breath, it continued to launch various fire element magic attacks.
At this moment, a pillar of lightning suddenly descended from the sky and smashed onto the Crimson Dragon's head, causing the Crimson Dragon's body to be covered in electric arcs. At the same time, Lin Li appeared outside of the Crimson Dragon's attack range, and the Helios' Scepter in his hand shone brightly. Taking advantage of the Crimson Dragon being paralyzed by the lightning, Lin Li cast a series of magic spells that were not very powerful, but were well-timed to make the Crimson Dragon feel like it was stuck in a quagmire.
Lin Li did not have to use any of the debris of the stars to deal with a level-23 Crimson Dragon. He did not even use the Light and Darkness Domain, and simply smashed the Crimson Dragon with Legendary magic spells. In fact, the fastest way to kill the Crimson Dragon was to use the debris of the stars, but Lin Li did not do that. Although they were far from the top of the mountain, the debris of the stars was so powerful that it would attract Nefa's attention if he used it. Lin Li did not let down his guard against Nefa, who was likely to be his enemy in the future.
The battle did not last long. Even if Lin Li did not use many of his trump cards, it would not be difficult for him to deal with the Crimson Dragon with his own strength and the battle experience he had gained from Balak's magical crystal. In fact, Lin Li did not use too many Legendary magic spells in this battle, and did not use the insane magic storm to smash the Crimson Dragon. Instead, he relied on his rich battle experience to lead the Crimson Dragon to death step by step.
Lin Li's shortcoming had always been his lack of battle experience. His rapid growth would inevitably lead to a lack of experience. Even though he had gone through several adventures and battles of life and death, experience was not something that could be accumulated easily. Tyrant Balak, on the other hand, was one of the most powerful ancient deities. The battle experience he had accumulated over tens of millions of years made up for Lin Li's shortcoming. It could be said to be Lin Li's biggest gain in Osric's mausoleum.
Although the adult Crimson Dragon had lived for many years longer than Lin Li, it was no different from a child fighting with the battle experience that Lin Li had inherited from Balak's magical crystal. The Crimson Dragon had not completely broken away from the battle instincts of magical beasts. Without any surprise, the Crimson Dragon finally stopped struggling in Lin Li's gradually tightening net, and the incomparably majestic aura of life gradually dissipated between heaven and earth.
Standing in front of the Crimson Dragon's corpse, Lin Li looked refreshed, and there was not a trace of fatigue on his face. This was not only because of his nearly infinite mental strength and mana, but also because of his combat experience. In such a battle, the Elemental Shield on Lin Li's body was not damaged at all, and the mana and mental strength that he used were actually far from the limits of ordinary Legendary-mages.
The carcass of the Crimson Dragon was sent to the Ring of Endless Storm like the other magical beasts to accompany the Dragon of Destruction, Azardas. Then, Lin Li flew into the lair of the Crimson Dragon, and followed the guidance of the wisp of aura. Indeed, he found the blooming black lotus in the depths of the lair. Besides, to Lin Li's surprise, this black lotus was actually different from ordinary black lotuses. Clearly, it had undergone some mutation.
The appearance of this black lotus was not much different from that of ordinary black lotuses, except that the petals were thicker, and there was a circle of gold around the edge of each petal, making it look more graceful and luxurious. The power contained in the mutated black lotus was much stronger than that of ordinary black lotuses. At the same time, it was more violent and difficult to control. At least for now, Lin Li did not have a good way to fully explore the value of the mutated black lotus. He still needed to conduct a lot of experiments to fully understand its power before he could really use it in the concoction of potions.
Lin Li suppressed the excitement in his heart, and carefully plucked the mutated black lotus. In fact, there was no special requirement for collecting the black lotus. He just had to continue nourishing it with rich fire element after plucking it. Otherwise, it would wither in a short time. However, the requirements for this mutated black lotus were obviously higher than that of ordinary black lotuses. Lin Li thought about it for a while, and thought of the Crimson Dragon's corpse in the ring. Hence, he simply moved the mutated black lotus to the Crimson Dragon's corpse. With the fire element contained in the dragon's blood, it should be enough to nourish the mutated black lotus.
After putting away the Crimson Dragon's corpse and the mutated black lotus, Lin Li did not immediately leave the Crimson Dragon's lair. Instead, he continued to search in the caves. Although this world could almost be said to be barren, it was, after all, the lair of a powerful Crimson Dragon. How could there only be one mutated black lotus? Everyone knew that wyrms were extremely keen on collecting. Even in such a remote and desolate world, Lin Li did not believe that the Crimson Dragon was really poor.
"Wyrms are indeed wyrms. No matter where they are, they can always find good things!" After some searching, Lin Li finally found the Crimson Dragon's treasure vault. There were indeed not many things. The most important thing was the Crimson Flame Gemstones. There were probably hundreds of Crimson Flame Gemstones of various sizes piled up together. The most eye-catching ones were the four fist-sized Crimson Flame Gemstones. They were the same as the top-grade gemstones that Lin Li had seen in Osric's mausoleum. However, these four were definitely not fakes.
The Crimson Flame Gem was a pure Fire Magic Gem. It was also the best Fire Magic Gem. If it was embedded in a staff or made into a magical accessory, it could greatly reduce the casting time of a Mage's Fire Magic and greatly increase the power of the Fire Magic. In particular, the four fist-sized Scarlet Flame Gems were the best of the best. They were definitely the dream treasures of mages who specialized in fire-type magic.
Lin Li used the Light and Darkness Magic the most, followed by ice and lightning magic. He rarely used fire magic. These Crimson Flame Gemstones did not seem to be of much use to Lin Li. Even if they were made into magic staffs, they could not be compared to the Helios' Scepter. After all, the Helios' Scepter could enhance all types of magic. However, there were so many mages in the Tower of Dusk now, and many of them were good at fire magic. Not to mention the four fist-sized gemstones, even the ordinary Crimson Flame Gemstones were enough to greatly increase the combat power of those mages.
After wiping out the Crimson Dragon's lair, Lin Li searched the area for a while until he could not find anything of value. He then continued his journey in the direction that Nefa had pointed out. There was only endless silence behind him. This was what it meant to be stripping the land clean. Everywhere he passed, he left nothing behind. After all, the Long Root Grass was also a herb, and the magical beasts were all at the Legendary-level.
Lin Li did not know how long he had been walking while searching. After all, this was also a world. Even with the support of a large amount of mental strength, it would still take a long time to search the entire place. However, no matter how long the journey was, it would eventually come to an end. Lin Li finally arrived at the bottom of the volcano, which was also the place that Nefa said overlapped with the fire elemental world.
It was a world of fire. From afar, the entire place was shrouded in a hazy red color. Violent and terrifying fire magical elements were constantly seeping out from there, and spreading towards the surrounding space like a surging tide. Before he even got close, Lin Li could already feel waves of heat coming towards him. It was not just a matter of temperature, but a magic storm formed by the violent fire elements. Even with Lin Li's strength, he had no choice but to activate the Elemental Shield and continuously input mana into it. Otherwise, the Elemental Shield would not be able to last long.
Through the hazy red light, Lin Li could vaguely see the figures of various fire magical beasts swaying in the world of fire. There were Firebirds flying in the sky, Salamanders, Flame Dragons, Fire Elemental Lords, and so on on the ground. There were even many strange creatures that Lin Li could not recognize. That was the true paradise for fire elemental creatures. Although magical beasts like the Crimson Python loved an environment with rich fire elements, they could not survive there.
In the middle of the red world, there was a spot of green that was particularly eye-catching. Lin Li was overjoyed. Clearly, the green color came from the branch of the Tree of Eternity. In fact, after hearing Nefa's words, Lin Li was already 50% sure that the branch of the Tree of Eternity was still alive. If the branch of the Tree of Eternity was dead, it would most likely lose the power to balance the Laws, just like the Seed of Eternity. All that was left was a large amount of mana that was gradually dissipating. How could it maintain the overlapping of the two worlds?
If the branch of the Tree of Eternity was dead, Lin Li would not mind taking a look at it before leaving. With his current wealth, a dead branch of the Tree of Eternity was not worth the risk at all. As for returning to Anril, Lin Li had plenty of ways to make Nefa move his feet. It was not a problem at all.
Now that he had seen the existence of the branch of the Tree of Eternity with his own eyes, Lin Li was even more confident. Besides, it also made Lin Li determined to get the branch of the Tree of Eternity, because it was not just a branch, but also an opportunity for the resurrection of the Seed of Eternity.
Looking at the green spot in the red world, Lin Li suppressed his excitement, and carefully observed the situation inside. Seeing that there was a certain distance between the fire elemental creatures and the branch of the Tree of Eternity, he had a rough idea. With the speed of his Power of Flight, it was not impossible for him to rush in and snatch the branch of the Tree of Eternity. However, the actual situation was still unclear. Although the branch of the Tree of Eternity was right there, it might not be easy to take it away.
