If he didn't retreat in time, he would probably have to face the siege of those fire elemental creatures. How would he deal with it then …
Lin Li thought about it again and again, and decided to be more cautious. Hence, he slowly moved towards the crimson world in a bid to get closer to understand more about the actual situation. However, before he could go far, there was a loud roar in the sky all of a sudden. It was not as deafening as the roar of a wyrm, but it made one's soul tremble.
Lin Li hurriedly stopped in his tracks, and looked up at the sky, only to see a burning cloud of fire descending from the sky, and rushing towards him. The flaming cloud was in front of him in the blink of an eye, and Lin Li had no time to carefully identify what it was. He had no choice but to cast the Power of Flight to the extreme and dodge in another direction. The flaming cloud that was pouncing towards him with the momentum of a meteor also changed direction nimbly at this moment, and hovered in the air opposite Lin Li.
At this moment, Lin Li finally saw clearly that the flaming cloud was actually a large crimson bird that was covered in flames. The burning flames seemed to be the feathers on its body, and waves of heat surged towards the surroundings with the flapping of its wings. The massive and violent mana waves spread along with the heat waves.
"Damn it, it's actually a Fire Phoenix!" Lin Li finally recognized the creature that had suddenly attacked him. It was a terrifying magical beast that was as famous as the wyrms during the prehistoric times. It was the supreme existence of the fire elemental creatures, and the king of flames — the Fire Phoenix.
Legend had it that the Fire Phoenix was born in the Apocalyptic Flames that could burn everything in the world, and its body was made up of the Apocalyptic Flames. It was born with the power to control all flames, and each of them had power close to the Sanctuary-realm. They were definitely top existences during the prehistoric times. However, the four elemental worlds were later separated from Anril by the wyrms and the Titans. Hence, the terrifying magical beast, the Fire Phoenix, did not appear in Anril, and had been residing in the Fire Elemental World.
After hearing from Nefa that this world had overlapped with the Fire Elemental World, Lin Li did not think that there would be fire elemental creatures. He should have expected the Salamander and the Lord of Fire Elemental that he had seen previously. However, the appearance of the Fire Phoenix did give Lin Li a shock. Besides, the Fire Phoenix in front of him was clearly an adult Fire Phoenix, and the mana waves it was emitting were already close to the Sanctuary-realm.
The Fire Phoenix did not give Lin Li too much of a surprise. It flapped its pair of flaming wings twice, and like shaking off feathers, countless flaming feathers shot towards Lin Li like arrows, densely covering all the space that Lin Li could dodge to.
Although they seemed to be just some flames, Lin Li could clearly feel that even one of them definitely contained terrifying power. Even the Infernal Magic Iron, which was known for its resistance to high temperatures, would probably turn into a pool of molten iron in an instant. Although Lin Li had been activating the Elemental Shield, he did not dare to get hit by it at all under such circumstances. The destructive flames that could burn everything in the world was definitely not something that ordinary magical defenses could withstand.
The overwhelming flaming feathers arrived in the blink of an eye. If it were an ordinary Legendary-mage, he would probably have no choice but to turn around and flee at this moment. However, Lin Li raised his arm unhurriedly, and the gemstone of the Ring of Dream Garden on his finger faced the endless flaming feathers. Next, a petite and exquisite head popped out of the ring, and opened its small mouth to face the incoming flaming feathers.
All of a sudden, the flaming feathers that filled the sky converged towards the Elemental Wyrm's small mouth under an irresistible and powerful attraction, forming a huge funnel-like vortex. In the blink of an eye, the flaming feathers that filled the sky disappeared, and the small head that popped out of Dream Garden opened its mouth and spat out a few sparks before returning to Dream Garden.
Not only did the flaming feathers that it sent out not burn the outsider into ashes, but they were also devoured by a strange little thing. The Fire Phoenix, who had witnessed everything with its own eyes, was immediately infuriated. With a loud cry that resounded through the sky, the flames on the Fire Phoenix suddenly erupted, and it pounced towards the outsider, Lin Li, like a scorching sun.
The Elemental Wyrm could devour the flaming feathers that were launched because they were made of pure fire elements. However, it was obviously impossible for it to devour the Fire Phoenix that was already close to the Sanctuary-realm. Of course, Lin Li did not expect Xiao Hua to be able to devour the Fire Phoenix in one bite. If it had been the Dragon of Dream, it might have been possible, but Xiao Hua was still far from it. At this moment, Lin Li had already activated the Light and Darkness Domain without hesitation, and when the Fire Phoenix pounced over, a Light and Darkness Sword that pierced the sky had already condensed.
In the face of the menacing Fire Phoenix, Lin Li did not dodge or avoid it. He gently pointed the Helios' Scepter forward, and the Light and Darkness Sword that was hanging high in the air immediately slashed at the huge fireball that the Fire Phoenix had transformed into. All of a sudden, there was a loud "boom", and the Light and Darkness Sword struck the center of the huge fireball. The Light and Darkness Sword shattered, and the Fire Phoenix let out a sorrowful cry as it was slashed and rolled backward, scattering countless flaming feathers along the way.
It was indeed a powerful existence that was once on par with the wyrms! Seeing that his sword had only repelled the Fire Phoenix, Lin Li secretly sighed, but he was not too disappointed, because the Light and Darkness Sword that he had condensed this time did not use the power of Holy Light and Gloomy Dark. Instead, it was cast entirely with his own strength. Lin Li was now only a Legendary-mage who was at the peak of level-23. The fact that he could repel and even injure the Fire Phoenix that was close to the Sanctuary-realm with his own strength was enough to prove that his understanding of the Power of Light and Darkness had reached an astonishing level, and that was also thanks to his previous reading of the Light Bible and the Darkness scripture.
It was not that Lin Li did not want to use the power of Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, but rather that he dared not take out Holy Light here. There was still a high priest of the Darkness Element in the Fire Elemental World whose situation was unknown. If he were to be killed by the high priest of the Darkness Element because he took out Holy Light, Lin Li would really die of injustice. As for Gloomy Dark, he could use it alone, but the Light and Darkness Sword required a balance between the two forces. Using Gloomy Dark alone would either destroy the balance or not be able to exert its power at all. Hence, there was not much difference whether he took it out or not.
However, Lin Li did not only have the two pieces of the debris of the stars, Holy Light and Gloomy Dark. Rebirth, Thunderbolt, and Nothingness also had the power to influence the battle. Besides, after reading the Darkness scripture and receiving pointers from Sendros, Lin Li had also learned a lot about using Dark Force. This was a good opportunity to verify what he had learned.
When the Fire Phoenix was repelled and had yet to regain its footing, Lin Li's Light and Darkness Domain suddenly changed. The Power of Light was completely restrained, and the Power of Darkness became the only thing that supported the Magical Domain. The Light and Darkness Domain instantly turned into the Eternal Darkness Domain, and the debris of the stars, Gloomy Dark, was also integrated into the Magical Domain at the same time. Of course, strictly speaking, it could only be called a pseudo-Eternal Darkness Domain. The Laws that constituted this domain were actually the Laws of Darkness in the Light and Darkness Domain, and there were still differences between them and the real Eternal Darkness Laws.
Since Lin Li had already seized the initiative, he naturally wouldn't let the Fire Phoenix turn the tables easily. Countless thick shadow tentacles condensed in the Eternal Darkness Domain, and lashed out at the Fire Phoenix under his control. "Pa!" Sparks flew in all directions, and the Fire Phoenix, which couldn't react in time, was hit. The flames on its body trembled violently, and at the same time, one of the shadow tentacles was instantly burned to ashes by the Flames of Annihilation.
Although the Fire Phoenix was being attacked passively at this moment, an ordinary Dark Mage would probably have exhausted his mana before he could do anything to the Fire Phoenix. However, Lin Li had plenty of mana. Besides, he had the help of the debris of the stars, Gloomy Dark. After one of the shadow tentacles turned into nothingness, there were still more shadow tentacles that continued to lash at the Fire Phoenix. In the gaps between the shadow tentacles, there were also various powerful Dark Magic spells that were blasted out from time to time. Although they couldn't cause too much damage to the Fire Phoenix, the flames on the Fire Phoenix still gradually dimmed under the intensive attacks.
In the sky, under Lin Li's relentless pursuit, the cries of the Fire Phoenix that were filled with anger and indignation intertwined with the loud bombardment of magic spells. Sparks fell to the ground, and it was as if there was a rain of fire. At this moment, the outcome of the battle had already been decided. The Fire Phoenix was just struggling with the Flames of Annihilation on its body, and it was only a matter of time before it was defeated and killed.
However, at this moment, a huge flaming palm suddenly extended from the Fire Elemental World, and grabbed the Fire Phoenix that had already shown signs of defeat. "Bang!" With a loud explosion, the body of the Fire Phoenix, which was close to the Sanctuary-realm, instantly collapsed under the grip of the flaming palm. It was reduced to the purest fire element, and its life aura disappeared from this world forever.
That gave Lin Li a great shock. Although he could also kill the Fire Phoenix, he definitely couldn't do it to such an extent. No matter what, it was a powerful magical beast that was close to the Sanctuary-realm. Even an ordinary Sanctuary powerhouse wouldn't be able to kill it so easily. How terrifying the strength of the owner of the flaming palm must be!?
Damn it, Nefa, that bastard. Don't blame him for being killed, and for being trapped in such a place! While cursing in his heart, Lin Li put away his Magical Domain, and turned around to escape. Lin Li had no choice. He knew that no matter how many trump cards he had, they would be useless in the face of such an absolute difference in power. The branch of the Tree of Eternity was indeed important, but it couldn't be more important than his life.
