Of course, Donald knew that the item in Lin Li's hand was of great importance to the Brilliance Shrine. However, he also knew that Archbishop Martin was not a reckless fool, and would not resort to brute force when he knew that the other party was a Sanctuary powerhouse. Hence, Donald could totally imagine that even if Archbishop Martin did not bow and scrape to Lin Li, he would definitely suck up to him in every possible way.
In that case, the balance of the expedition would undoubtedly be broken, and how would they deal with it since they were obviously at a disadvantage? Donald had a headache just thinking about it.
Fortunately, the situation in front of him no longer allowed Donald to think too much. The Corpse Dragons that Lin Li had dispelled had already made a comeback, and he could only put that thought to the back of his mind for the time being. Moreover, Donald was also eager to make use of this battle to show the value of his team, lest they were abandoned by the two teams in the end.
After Lin Li left, the horde of Corpse Dragons that had been forced to retreat by the power of the Holy Light saw that the uncomfortable light had disappeared, and immediately pounced on the expedition aggressively. This time, the expedition did not want to be beaten passively like before. The mages of the Tower of Dusk took the initiative to cast all kinds of powerful magic spells that swept towards the Corpse Dragons like a storm.
At the same time, the Legendary powerhouses of the Tower of Dusk such as Connoris, Basel, and the others also flew into the sky one after another, and each displayed their most powerful attacks against the Corpse Dragons. Connoris, who was holding the Eternal Frost Blade, directly picked up a three-headed Corpse Dragon, and with his strong and perfect body, he did not seem to be at a disadvantage when facing the three-headed Corpse Dragon head-on.
Although Basel, the Lord of Nightmares, the Humerus Crimson Dragon, and the Demon Gordon were not as freakish as Connoris, their combat power was still rather shocking. Although their strength could not compete with hundreds of Legendary-level Corpse Dragons head-on, they were able to stir up chaos among the Corpse Dragons with their respective strength.
Ujfalusi and Norfeller also did not bother about the few remaining Vampires, and joined the battle with the Corpse Dragons together. After all, to the expedition, the threat that the Corpse Dragons could cause was far greater than that of the Vampires who were no longer of any threat. It would be better to leave those Vampires to the people of the Rotterdam and the Brilliance Shrine.
At the same time, the Twin Dracoliches, who had been loitering not far from the team and blocking the Undead Greater Demons, also received Lin Li's order to stall the Zombie Dragons through Gloomy Dark. The two figures returned to the sky above the expedition team at lightning speed. The Death Domain and Poison Domain both landed in the horde of zombie dragons, immediately dying many of them green.
The Death Knights, who controlled Divine Power, urged the Nightmare Beasts beneath them to rise into the air, forming an infinite killing formation in the air. Boundless killing intent surrounded the zombie dragons. More than half of the Death Knights had become Retribution Knights, and the power of the Infinite Massacre Formation had increased by more than 10 times. Although the zombie dragons possessed the strength of level-22 or level-23, they were unable to break through in the Infinite Massacre Battle Formation.
Seeing such a scene, Archbishop Martin immediately understood Lin Li's intentions, and handed over the command of the Holy Light Knights and priests to Jeremiah. He then led a few Legendary-level priests to join the battle in the sky. Although the zombie dragons were almost immune to the purification damage of the Holy Light Magic under the transformation of the Immortal King, the Holy Light Magic that Archbishop Martin and the others cast also contained a trace of pure Holy Light aura after the baptism of Holy Light. It was almost equivalent to using Holy Light to cast Holy Light Magic.
The world created by the Immortal King used the nomological origin that came from the debris of the stars. The Holy Light Magic that Archbishop Martin and the others cast contained the aura of the debris of the stars, Holy Light, which was equivalent to an attack of the nomological origin. This origin was higher than all the reversals and changes of the nomological origin, and was equivalent to a kind of dominating power for this world. Archbishop Martin and the others were like apostles who had been given power by the dominator. Although the power was very weak, it was enough to make the Undead creatures be punished by the Holy Light again.
Looking at the intense battle in the sky, Donald hesitated again and again. In the end, he gritted his teeth and flew into the sky with a few Legendary-mages under him. Initially, his plan was to deal with the low-level Undead creatures on the ground. After all, it was too dangerous to fight the Legendary-level Zombie Dragons. However, when he thought about the situation that his team was about to face, he felt that he had to give it his all in order to prove his value.
With the departure of the Legendary powerhouses, the expedition team that remained on the ground was once again besieged by the Undead Army. The Skeletal Warriors, Skeletal Mages, Vampires, Undead Greater Demons, and various skeletons of magical beasts surrounded the expedition layer by layer, and launched waves of fierce attacks.
Fortunately, the Rotterdam Kingdom and the Brilliance Shrine each left Kanber and Jeremiah, who were at the peak of the Legendary-level, to guard the team. Under the leadership of the two Legendary powerhouses, the respective teams were able to barely withstand the siege of the Undead Army even though they were constantly in danger.
In particular, the Brilliance Shrine's power had been greatly increased. At the same time, just like Archbishop Martin and the others, the Holy Light Magic that they cast also contained the aura of Holy Light, allowing them to regain the restraining effect of the purification power on the Undead creatures. Besides, they were not facing top-level Undead creatures like the Zombie Dragons. Even the Undead Greater Demons were at most level-10.
Of course, the mages of the Tower of Dusk were the most stable. Although they could not compare to real Legendary-mages who were at the peak of the Legendary-level with the Net Array, the ability to separate and combine was something that a Legendary-mage could not do. They could work together to cast the most advanced Legendary-level magic spells, and could also cast a large number of mid-level magic spells at the same time to form a magic storm. They could also use overwhelming low-level magic spells to cover an area.
Hence, although they were facing the endless siege of the Undead creatures, there was an empty area around the mages of the Tower of Dusk. Every time an Undead creature surged in, there would be a large number of magic spells that would make the Undead creatures disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye.
After the Legendary powerhouses left, the expedition was able to maintain a stalemate while being besieged by the Undead Army. In fact, the most important reason was that the expedition did not have to continue advancing. The only thing they had to do was to defend and save their own lives during this period of time.
The battle in the sky was actually the same. Killing the Zombie Dragons was not the most important problem. The most important thing was to stall the Zombie Dragons for Lin Li. However, although the Legendary powerhouses of the expedition caught the Zombie Dragons off guard with their imposing manner at the beginning, there were hundreds of Zombie Dragons, after all. Very soon, the Legendary powerhouses fell into a passive state of defense again.
Even though Connoris, who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm and had a strong and perfect body, could deal with a three-headed Zombie Dragon, he had no choice but to be passive under the siege of two or three Zombie Dragons. Needless to say, only Norfeller could use his lightning-fast speed to shuttle back and forth among the Zombie Dragons. However, it was not easy to kill the Zombie Dragons one by one, so he could only be a firefighter.
At this time, Lin Li was already closer to the Undead tree. Compared to when he was observing from afar, he had a clearer understanding of the size of the Undead tree. In Lin Li's eyes, the Undead tree seemed to be supporting the sky and the earth. Its dense and huge canopy completely blocked the sky above it. The bone spurs on the trunk were like mountain peaks that were inserted diagonally above it. They were also surrounded by grayish-black fog.
However, just as Lin Li wanted to fly closer to take a closer look, a group of figures flew down from the dense canopy in the sky. These figures seemed to be Abyssal Demons. There was the eagle-headed Mostu Demon that lived on the 61st floor of the abyss, the sheep-headed Knurm Demon that lived on the 70th floor of the abyss, and the Fire Demon that was covered in extinguished flames. However, they all had one thing in common, and that was that they all emitted an Undead aura. Obviously, it was the work of the Immortal King, and they had been converted into Demonic Liches.
Although there were only a few dozen of these Demonic Liches, they were all level-23 or level-24. Although Lin Li was not afraid of these Demonic Liches, he was very clear about the situation of the expedition through his connection with Ujfalusi and Norfeller. There was no time for him to be entangled with the Demonic Liches here.
"Xiao Hua, hold them back!" Faced with the obstruction of the Demonic Liches, Lin Li raised his arm without hesitation, and flashed the Ring of Dream Garden.
At this time, Lin Li could not help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, Xiao Hua's strength had been greatly improved after fusing with the magical crystal of the Elemental Dragon. Otherwise, he would have to spend a lot of effort here.
Following Lin Li's summon, Xiao Hua emerged from Dream Garden. As soon as he appeared, a magic storm made up of Legendary magic swept towards the group of Demonic Liches. The current Xiao Hua had already reached the peak of level-24. With the ability to cast Legendary magic instantly and the massive mana that never ran out, it was enough to compete with ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses.
Faced with Xiao Hua's welcome gift, the group of Demonic Liches did not feel happy at all. They immediately put up their magical defenses, and did not dare to delay at all. They were top-notch Undead creatures, and not those reckless Skeletal Warriors. They could completely feel the terrifying power from Xiao Hua's magic storm.
After throwing the group of Demonic Liches to Xiao Hua, Lin Li did not feel worried at all. He directly bypassed the Demonic Liches, and continued to fly towards the Undead tree. This time, there should be nothing stopping me. As soon as Lin Li thought of this, he suddenly felt a sense of danger, and dodged to the side.
There was a huge vine whip at Lin Li's original position, and it whistled through the air like a bolt of lightning, making a thunderous sound. The power of the vine whip seemed to be able to tear space apart. One could imagine that if it were to hit someone, that person would probably be smashed into pieces on the spot.
However, this was not the end. After Lin Li dodged the attack, he immediately felt that something was wrong again. He hurriedly activated the Space Robe on his body, and his body flickered continuously to change his position. Vine whips emerged from the ground one after another, and chased after Lin Li's figure. There was a thunderous sound in the air.
In just a short while, the ground was almost filled with vine whips. It was like a group of snakes dancing wildly, and the afterimages that Lin Li left behind were destroyed one by one. In the process of the vine whips, the powerful force created cracks in the space, and it constantly reduced the range of Lin Li's escape.
At this time, Lin Li also understood that those were not vine whips, but the roots of the Undead tree. Obviously, this Undead tree already had its own consciousness, and knew how to protect its own territory.
"Boom!"
Lin Li condensed the Light and Darkness Sword, and slashed at the roots that were chasing after him. However, this powerful attack only cut off a dozen roots, and then it was smashed into pieces by more roots. Those roots had already surpassed the scope of plants. Each of them contained powerful Space Energy, and possessed unparalleled destructive power.
Lin Li did not expect an Undead tree to have Sanctuary-level power, and it was much more powerful than him. It was about level-26 or level-27. This time, Lin Li felt like he had hit an iron plate. Not only was he unable to continue approaching the trunk of the Undead tree, but he was also gradually being chased away by the countless roots.
Using his mental strength, Lin Li asked about the situation of the expedition, and could not help but feel anxious. Actually, Lin Li did not need to ask to know that the expedition would not be able to hold on for long. After all, to the expedition, the enemy they were facing was too strong. Lin Li did not care about the lives of the people from the Rotterdam Kingdom, or even the people from the Brilliance Shrine, but he could not ignore his own subordinates.
Moreover, be it the Rotterdam Kingdom or the Brilliance Shrine, even if these people died here, it would not affect the entire force too much. However, it was different for the Tower of Dusk. After all, they did not have a strong foundation, and the team of mages was more than half of the elites of the Tower of Dusk. They could not afford to lose them.
Lin Li could basically confirm that the key to leaving this world was this Undead tree. As for the passage, it was better to get rid of this Undead tree first. If he did not get rid of it first, even if they found the passage, would the others be able to come over smoothly? Even the powerhouses who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm would not be able to avoid death.
However, the problem now was how to get rid of this Undead tree. It was impossible to push it down directly. Although Lin Li was a Sanctuary powerhouse, he did not have the power to push down this towering tree. After all, he could not chop it down bit by bit like a lumberjack.
