However, the current situation did not allow Donald to be regretful and upset. Although the magic storm above their heads had been blocked, the team from the Rotterdam Kingdom still had to deal with the Abyssal Demons that had gone berserk. Although the metallurgists in the rescued Alchemy Colossuses were still traumatized by the dangerous situation just now, they had no choice but to pull themselves together and join in the fight against the Abyssal Demons.
In fact, even if the Abyssal Demons were to go all out and self-destruct crazily, the threat they posed to the expedition was rather limited. The real threat to the expedition was Lord Devourer Garl, who had a huge appetite. Its ability was not limited to devouring.
Lord Devourer's level was actually only at the peak of the Legendary-realm. Lin Li could completely feel that it had definitely not stepped into the Sanctuary-realm yet. However, Lord Devourer had lived in the Well of the Sun for thousands of years, and had devoured countless Abyssal Demons. In fact, 80% of the treasures in the original palace had also fallen into its stomach. The power it had accumulated was already rather astonishing.
Moreover, according to Lin Li's guess, the failure of the magic traps and gears in the Well of the Sun was most likely caused by Lord Devourer. There were countless magic traps and gears in the entire Well of the Sun, and the source of mana used was hundreds and thousands of Legendary magical crystals. When all of them were gathered together, it would be a rather terrifying force.
In terms of pure power, Lord Devourer was definitely superior to the tender Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua. Hence, even though it had yet to step into the Sanctuary-realm, the massive power it possessed was already enough to compete with ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses. After all, even a true Sanctuary powerhouse probably could not have such a massive amount of mana. The only difference was the quality of the power they possessed.
Lord Devourer cast a spell that could destroy heaven and earth, bombarding the expedition team. At the same time, it opened its huge mouth again and sucked hard in the direction of the expedition team. It actually wanted to suck everyone in the expedition team into its mouth.
To Lord Devourer, the expedition was definitely an unprecedented sumptuous meal. There were more than a dozen peak Legendary-level powerhouses, and if it could devour the expedition, it might be able to reach the Sanctuary-realm with its power.
At the same time that Lord Devourer opened its huge mouth, everyone in the expedition immediately felt the huge force of attraction, especially the Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam in front of the team. They were even being pulled by that force and started moving slowly. The metallurgists in the Alchemy Colossuses had all seen the scene of their companions being devoured. At this moment, they couldn't help but panic, and the Alchemy Colossuses immediately operated at full capacity to resist the huge suction force.
Logically speaking, even the massive and heavy body of the Alchemy Colossus could not resist the gravitational force of the Lord Devourer. Hence, it was even easier for the others to be swallowed. However, the Holy Light Knights on both sides of the expedition did not have as much difficulty resisting as the Alchemy Colossuses. The reason was that their battle formation had actually connected every single one of them into a whole, and formed a Domain of Light Power.
However, the Alchemy Colossuses could not form such an intricate battle formation, nor could they have their own Domain. Even though their bodies were massive and heavy, they became easier targets to devour.
After noticing this situation, Donald immediately thought of a solution. Just like how he had rescued the Alchemy Colossuses just now, he would connect all the Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam with chains. Although this made the movement of the Alchemy Colossuses a little inconvenient, it had a certain effect on resisting the gravitational force of Lord Devourer. It was just like a tug-of-war.
"Roar!" Lord Devourer sucked violently, but only ate a mouthful of Abyssal Demons. It had been eating these things for more than 1,000 years, and was immediately infuriated. After a roar, the entire space darkened in an instant, and the originally dazzling golden light in the palace was only left with a faint halo, as if it could be extinguished at any time.
At the same time, the Abyssal Demons that were besieging the expedition seemed to have suffered great pain as they let out shrill roars. Their bodies expanded rapidly like balloons, and the mana waves on their bodies also increased at an alarming rate.
Clearly, Lord Devourer did not only know how to eat, but also how to inject power into the Abyssal Demons in order to forcefully increase their strength. In the blink of an eye, those Abyssal Demons that were in the Legendary-level had basically increased by one level, while those below the Legendary-level had reached the peak of level-19. Many demons even exploded because they could not withstand the infusion of power.
One must know that there were thousands of Abyssal Demons in this area now, and there were hundreds of them in the Legendary-level. The fact that their strength had been forcibly increased to such a level in a short period of time showed how massive and terrifying the power of Lord Devourer was.
Of course, this method of forcibly increasing one's strength was definitely not like the Holy Light Baptism that Lin Li had given to the people of the Brilliance Shrine. Instead, it was a forceful infusion of power. One could tell how brutal it was just by looking at the demons that had exploded. As for those demons that did not explode, they probably would not have a good ending in the future. Even if they were not devoured by Lord Devourer afterward, they would not live for long.
However, to Lord Devourer, these demons were just food that it had long been sick of. It did not care about their lives at all. Infusing some power into these demons and letting them catch more delicious food for it could be said to be a kind of recycling of waste.
Soon, the Abyssal Demons that had their strength increased stopped roaring in pain, and each of them emitted a strong mana wave as they pounced towards the expedition. To them, they might just want to vent the power in their bodies, but to the expedition, it was not a good thing.
After the infusion of power, the Skinning Walkers, which were already known for their speed, became so fast that it was almost impossible to catch their shadows with the naked eye. The tall Black Iron Demonic Apes doubled in size again, and could send the Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom flying with a punch. There were also other Abyssal Demons whose strength had increased by several times or even more than 10 times. Be it their mana or bodies, they were all terrifyingly strong.
On the other hand, Lord Devourer, who had forcibly increased the strength of the Abyssal Demons, did not wait for its subordinates to send food to its mouth. Instead, it once again cast powerful magic spells, and continued to bombard the expedition indiscriminately. Those were all Legendary-level magic spells that could instantly destroy a city. Even a powerhouse who was at the peak of the Legendary-level would not be able to resist them. Their power was even more tyrannical than the joint attack of the Corpse Dragons.
Seeing such a doomsday-like scene and feeling the terrifying power contained in the magic storm, the expressions of the members of the expedition could not help but change drastically. Archbishop Martin, Donald, and the others turned their horrified gazes towards Lin Li. Clearly, in their opinion, only a Sanctuary powerhouse like Lin Li would be able to resolve such a terrifying attack.
Lin Li did not disappoint them. His body suddenly erupted with the mysterious waves of the Sanctuary-realm. Although it was not as domineering as the sky, it was as untouchable as the starry sky. Next, he raised the Holy Light in his hand, and a dazzling white beam of light shot straight into the sky, disappearing into the dark clouds formed by the magic storm. In an instant, the entire space shook violently. It was as if a blazing sun had suddenly risen at the spot where the white light had shot into. Layers of light spread to the surroundings, instantly washing away Lord Devourer's magic storm.
After dispersing the magic storm, Lin Li's figure flashed, and he left the defensive range of the expedition, appearing in front of Lord Devourer.
A Sanctuary powerhouse suddenly appeared among the enemies, but not only was Lord Devourer not afraid, it became even more excited. To it, devouring a large number of peak Legendary-level powerhouses would only allow it to step into the Sanctuary-realm. However, if it could devour a Sanctuary powerhouse, it would almost certainly step into the Sanctuary-realm.
Although the level of Lord Devourer was only at the peak of the Legendary-realm, the power that it had accumulated over thousands of years of devouring was already not inferior to that of a true Sanctuary powerhouse. The only difference was the realm of power control.
Seeing that Lin Li had suddenly appeared in front of it, Lord Devourer did not hesitate at all. It opened its huge mouth towards Lin Li, and a huge suction force that could almost suck in the stars instantly enveloped Lin Li's body.
However, Lin Li was not interested in swimming in Lord Devourer's stomach like the Great Sage Sun Wukong. Besides, Lord Devourer did not rely on its own digestive power, but a kind of Laws that disintegrated all substances. Although Lin Li was a Sanctuary powerhouse, he did not dare to try and see if he could resist the Laws of Disintegration.
Hence, Lin Li immediately activated the Space Robe on his body, and his figure suddenly flashed behind Lord Devourer. He waved the debris of the stars, Holy Light, in his hand, and blasted it directly at Lord Devourer's body.
"BOOM!" With a loud explosion, Lord Devourer's huge body was blasted forward by five to six meters, but the area that was attacked did not suffer any damage.
Although Lin Li did not use any magic in this attack, the power of the debris of the stars, Holy Light, was stronger than that of a real Legendary-level magic. Such a powerful attack did not even leave a wound on Lord Devourer's body. It was obvious that Lord Devourer's defense was probably even more terrifying than that of the ancient wyrms.
Of course, this was not beyond Lin Li's expectations. In fact, most of the energy that Lord Devourer devoured was used for its own body's defense. That was also one of the important reasons why it was known to be able to compete with Sanctuary powerhouses. The energy that it had devoured had completely condensed into a kind of crystal on the surface of Lord Devourer's body. Even a full blow from a Sanctuary powerhouse would not be able to break through that layer of energy crystal.
Although Lin Li had once fought with Lord Devourer when he was exploring the Well of the Sun in the Endless World, that was in the game world, after all. No matter how similar the two worlds were, there would always be differences between virtual and real. Moreover, Lin Li was a Hunter at that time, but he was now a mage. Back then, he had used the system's skills, but now he had to rely on his own power.
Although Lord Devourer was not injured after being blasted by Lin Li, it was clearly enraged by his actions. After Lord Devourer stabilized its swollen body, its huge head turned directly behind it, and the huge mouth that was opened no longer had any suction power. Instead, it suddenly spat out a large amount of magic that swept towards Lin Li like a flood.
However, that terrifying magic flood only engulfed the phantom left behind by Lin Li. Lin Li, who had activated his Space Robe again, had already flashed to the side of Lord Devourer in an instant. Immediately afterwards, a ball of light that was a combination of the Power of Light and Darkness landed silently on Lord Devourer's body, and caused a violent explosion in an instant. The powerful explosive force even caused Lord Devourer's body to roll a few times, and it looked rather disheveled.
However, this wretched state was only on the surface. Lord Devourer swayed its body as if it had not suffered any damage at all. Even a deity would have a headache dealing with that extremely strong defense.
Lin Li, who had just launched an attack, also felt a trace of danger at the same time. His body flashed, and he had already moved in another direction. At the place where he was just now, there was a giant hand condensed from mana that appeared from the void, clearly trying to grab him.
Lin Li, a Sanctuary powerhouse, actually did not manage to take down Lord Devourer immediately. That made Archbishop Martin, Donald, and the others in the expedition feel a sense of panic. However, at least Lin Li had attracted Lord Devourer's attention, and the expedition did not have to face Lord Devourer's devouring anymore. They could temporarily focus on dealing with the frenzied Abyssal Demons.
Although the Abyssal Demons' strength had been forcibly increased by Lord Devourer, they did not pose much of a threat to the expedition. In order to eliminate the Abyssal Demons as soon as possible, the expedition changed their previous defensive stance, and launched a full counterattack against the Abyssal Demons. In particular, a few powerhouses who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm even left the team and charged into the group of demons like tigers entering a flock of sheep. They each cast powerful attacks and reaped the lives of a large number of demons.
Connoris waved the Eternal Frost Blade, and the cracks in space devoured the lives of the Abyssal Demons. Norfeller held the Heaven's Wrath Dagger in his hand, and his figure shuttled through the group of demons like a bolt of lightning. Everywhere he passed, there were demon corpses that had been split into two.
