Using the Light and Darkness Sword to buy some time, Lin Li switched to the debris of the stars, Polar Snow, and quickly recited a spell. As he recited the spell, the temperature of the entire space dropped rapidly. Snowflakes appeared in the air, and fluttered down. This was the Legendary-level ice element magic, Snow Burial. Every snowflake contained extreme coldness, and a single snowflake could form an iceberg in the middle of the sea.
As the snowflakes drifted down, the movement of the roots that were chasing after Lin Li became slower and slower. Soon, they stiffened completely, and took on various forms. There were even snowflakes and icicles hanging on them. Furthermore, as the temperature continued to drop, the stiffened roots made a cracking sound, and broke into pieces one by one.
However, before Lin Li could heave a sigh of relief, just as the effects of Snow Burial were about to dissipate, a thick root broke out of the ground again, and whizzed towards Lin Li's body. Even a mountain peak would be snapped in half by that immense power, and a huge crack would be formed in the ground.
Without a doubt, Snow Burial was effective against the roots, but the effect was not to Lin Li's satisfaction. Only God knew how many roots there were under the ground. Just by looking at the growth of the Undead tree, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire ground was formed by its roots.
However, this did not make Lin Li feel dejected. Instead, there was a glimmer of understanding in his eyes. The Giant Undead Tree did have a lot of roots, but just like the dense canopy above, no matter how many branches it had, there would always be a main branch. As long as the main branch was broken, the other branches would naturally lose their vitality.
What Lin Li had to do was to find and cut off the main branch near the trunk of the Undead tree. However, knowing was one thing, being able to do it was another. Since the Giant Undead Tree had its own consciousness, it would definitely protect the tree roots that were extremely important to itself. Moreover, for such a huge tree, even if it was the main roots, there would definitely be a lot of them. To find and cut them off one by one in the shortest time possible, one could imagine how difficult this task would be.
However, Lin Li had no other choice but to take the risk. After making up his mind, he immediately activated his Space Robe, and dashed towards the trunk of the Undead tree.
It was unknown if the Undead tree had guessed Lin Li's thoughts, or if it simply did not want Lin Li to get close to it, but its thick roots broke out of the ground crazily and chased after Lin Li while obstructing him from the front. Besides, it knew that Lin Li was using the power of space, so it kept waving its roots and creating layers of traps made up of cracks in space.
However, to Lin Li, although the roots that kept popping out caused him a lot of trouble, they also gradually pointed him in the direction of the main root, which brought him a lot of convenience. Soon, Lin Li broke through all the obstacles and arrived near the trunk of the Undead tree. He took out the debris of the stars, Nothingness, and activated the power of Nothingness in a certain direction.
Lin Li couldn't break through the thick layer of soil quickly, so he thought of using the power of space to create a huge crack in the ground, and use it to cut off the connection between the trunk and the roots. Immediately after, the ground shook violently, which undoubtedly proved that Lin Li had done the right thing.
Furthermore, this also proved that the power of space of the debris of the stars, Nothingness, was far stronger than that of the Undead tree. Lin Li casually waved Nothingness behind him, and a crack in space immediately cut off the tree roots that were chasing after him. The effect was a hundred times stronger than the Light and Darkness Sword.
As more tree roots surged towards him, Lin Li's figure suddenly flashed, and he had already changed to another direction. He used the power of Nothingness just like before, and waved it towards the ground. However, this time, Lin Li seemed to have found the wrong place, as the Undead tree did not have any reaction.
However, Lin Li was not in a hurry. At most, he could use the power of Nothingness to draw a circle along the trunk of the Undead tree. He didn't believe that he couldn't cut off the roots of the Undead tree. Of course, for the sake of convenience, Lin Li also tried to use Nothingness to chop off the trunk of the Undead tree. However, the crack in space immediately closed up as soon as it appeared. Obviously, the trunk of the Undead tree had an unparalleled defense, and since its level was higher than Lin Li's, it was basically impossible to chop off the trunk directly.
Lin Li circled around the trunk of the Undead tree, and continuously waved Nothingness in his hand. The tree roots that the Undead tree used to stop him also filled up the entire space. Lin Li was like a bug in the dense grass, constantly shuttling through it, and the tree roots that were chasing after him swayed non-stop like weeds in the wind.
However, if one were to look closely, they would see that every time Lin Li waved Nothingness, one could see the tree roots suddenly lose their vitality, and decompose into ashes within a few breaths. Tree roots emerged one by one, and disappeared one by one. Gradually, there were fewer and fewer tree roots that emerged. The ground and the trunk of the Undead tree shook non-stop as if they were suffering from great pain.
Finally, the bone spikes on the trunk of the Undead tree began to fall off one by one, and the gray bark gradually turned a faint green. Lin Li's flickering figure suddenly stopped. Be it in front or behind him, there were no longer any tree roots that came to harass him.
Lin Li stood quietly in mid-air, and watched as the gray color of the Undead tree quickly faded away, and the dense canopy above his head quickly regained its green color. However, after the entire tree completely regained its green color, it did not last long before it fell in one direction.
Lin Li was not surprised by this scene. This world was like an upside-down world. Life in Anril meant death in this world. The giant tree regained its green color, just like the withered trees in Anril when they died. Life here was death over there.
The giant tree collapsed with a loud bang, just like the collapse of a mountain. The entire world actually shook along with it. At the place where the Undead tree collapsed, a black whirlpool door suddenly appeared. It seemed to be the door to leave this world.
However, Lin Li would not leave alone. His figure flashed to the door, and he only picked up a fist-sized seed from the ground. Lin Li did not know the origin of the Undead tree, but when he picked up the seed and felt the familiar aura from it, he was surprised to find out that it was the seed of the Tree of Eternity.
Lin Li was naturally familiar with the seed of the Tree of Eternity. When he first came to the Sky Castle, he had obtained a seed of the Tree of Eternity from the Central Tower. However, the seed of the Tree of Eternity had already died when he obtained it, and all that was left was a massive amount of mana. It was only in the big crack of the Eternal Darkness Altar that the High Priest of Darkness Rogge helped the Tree of Eternity regain its vitality through a branch of the Tree of Eternity.
However, Lin Li could clearly feel that this Tree of Eternity contained boundless vitality. It was just like the aura of the previous Tree of Eternity after it was revived. However, why would there be a Tree of Eternity here? Why did the death of the Undead tree bring about a living Tree of Eternity?
However, Lin Li could not be bothered to consider these questions now. Although the Undead tree had collapsed, the expedition was still being attacked by the Undead creatures. Lin Li kept the seed of the Tree of Eternity into the Ring of Endless Storm, and darted towards the direction of the expedition.
The collapse of the Undead tree seemed to have significantly reduced the strength of the Undead creatures in this world. With Lin Li, a powerhouse of the Sanctuary-realm, participating in the battle, the outcome of the battle was obvious. Lin Li first helped Xiao Hua to kill the Demonic Liches, and then charged into the horde of Corpse Dragons. It could be said that they were on a killing spree.
Xiao Hua continuously cast the Elemental Storm and devoured the mutated Corpse Dragons one after another. Almost none of the Corpse Dragons could withstand the Elemental Storm for even a moment. Lin Li was even more decisive. He held Holy Light in one hand and Gloomy Dark in the other. Holy white light and deep black light intertwined in the space, and quickly strangled the mutated Corpse Dragons.
"The exit gate is right in front."
After a while, hundreds of mutated Corpse Dragons were slaughtered. Lin Li activated the power of Holy Light, and used it to envelop the entire expedition. The Skeletal Warriors and other Undead creatures were all avoiding the power of Holy Light at this moment, and none of them dared to rush up to find trouble with the expedition.
Soon, the expedition passed through the gate under the Undead tree without any obstacles, and arrived at another space in the tower. This space was almost the same as the space before they entered the Undead World. It should be somewhere in the Central Tower. At this place, the expedition could finally take a breather after going through a series of intense battles.
Actually, the ordinary members of the expedition were not the only ones. Even the powerhouses who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm felt a sense of relief at this moment. The physical exhaustion was not much, but the mental exhaustion was unbearable. Archbishop Martin, Donald, and the rest forced themselves to make arrangements for the team to rest. Then, like a deflated balloon, they immediately found a place to sit down and rest without a care for their image.
Although the mages of the Tower of Dusk had the best magical equipment, they had also expended a lot of mental strength along the way. However, they did not rest like the other two forces. Under Alan's arrangement, some of them remained vigilant, while the others meditated instead of resting.
Looking at the actions of the mages of the Tower of Dusk, Archbishop Martin, Donald, and the rest could not help but sigh. It was no wonder that the mages of the Tower of Dusk could have such powerful combat power. Clearly, it was not just because of the magic of the Magic Array, but also because of their willpower and discipline.
In the previous world of Alanna from 1,300 years ago, the people of the Brilliance Shrine and the Rotterdam Kingdom even plundered a lot of things from Osric's palace. No matter what, it could be considered a small gain. However, the trip to the Undead World this time seemed to have been a loss, especially for the team from the Rotterdam Kingdom. They had used up a large number of magical crystals in the Alchemy Colossuses along the way, and more than half of the magical crystals they had obtained from Osric's palace had been used up. However, the gain was the destruction of the Alchemy Colossuses. Almost all the defensive Alchemy Arrays of the Alchemy Colossuses had been destroyed, and that loss was enough to make Donald's heart ache.
Actually, the team from the Brilliance Shrine had gained something. After all, with the help of Lin Li's debris of the stars, Holy Light, the abilities of the Holy Light Knights and Priests had been greatly improved. Initially, Archbishop Martin was worried that the improvement would only be temporary, just like the enhancement of Holy Light Magic, and that there might even be some side effects.
However, when they started to rest and reorganize, Archbishop Martin realized that the improved abilities of his subordinates did not seem to be declining. While heaving a huge sigh of relief, he thought of something that he had previously thought of. However, now was clearly not the time to talk about that. At the very least, he had to wait until the team was more or less rested and ready to set off again.
Actually, when it came to gains in the Undead World, only the Tower of Dusk could be considered to have gained something. Lin Li had obtained another seed of the Tree of Eternity. Putting aside the fact that Lin Li had obtained another seed of the Tree of Eternity, the Undead subordinates of Lin Li had already gained a considerable amount in the Undead World.
Firstly, there were the Death Knights. After continuous battles in the Undead World and devouring a large amount of soul fire, a portion of the Death Knights had successfully advanced to become Retribution Knights. Now, the Death Knights could probably be renamed as the Retribution Knights. There were only a few Death Knights who had not advanced. Moreover, the Death Knights that had not advanced had already reached the peak of level-19. It was only a matter of time before they advanced.
There were also the two Undead servants, Ujfalusi and Norfeller. However, their abilities were already at the peak of the Legendary-realm. While it was not impossible for them to step into the Sanctuary-realm by devouring soul fire, it was still rather difficult. However, they had truly come into contact with the true meaning of the Undead World's Laws in the Undead World. To them, that was a huge gain that could only be chanced upon.
For Undead creatures, there was probably only one way to truly understand the true meaning of the Undead World, and that was to leave Anril and enter the Undead World that belonged to Undead creatures. Hence, generally speaking, one could only find an opportunity to break through to the Sanctuary-realm in the Undead World.
For example, when the three Undead Lords of the Shadowglen reached an agreement with Geresco, they were already at level-22 or level-23. Thousands of years had passed, but their abilities had not improved much. They were still at level-22 or level-23.
