Although Lin Li was a Sanctuary powerhouse, and Donald did not dare to question him, everyone's lives were in Lin Li's hands, after all. How could he feel at ease if he did not get to the bottom of it?
However, just as Donald was about to move, Archbishop Martin grabbed him and shook his head. "Master Felic has his own reasons for doing this, don't influence him."
"But is there really a potion that can get rid of that monster!?" Although Donald hoped that was the case, he could not convince himself with his own experience and knowledge.
"We just have to buy time for Master Felic. That's what we should do." Archbishop Martin was actually uncertain, but when he thought about how Lin Li had helped Pope Pontiff dispel the Viper's poison, he had no choice but to pin all his hopes on Lin Li again.
However, without the support of a Sanctuary powerhouse, the expedition was still having a hard time under the attack of Lord Devourer even though they had the tender Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua and the Twin Dracoliches. The shattering of each layer of magical defense would cause considerable damage to the spellcasters of the expedition. Even Legendary powerhouses like Archbishop Martin and Donald could not really avoid the damage.
Such damage might not have an obvious impact on any spellcaster once or twice, but if it accumulated to a certain extent, even the spellcasters who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm would have to pay the price.
Moreover, the Lord Devourer was not just blindly bombarding Lin Li. Instead, there was a unique rhythm in the magic storm that could topple the mountains and overturn the seas. Under the guidance of Lord Devourer's rhythm, the defense of the expedition was gradually controlled by an invisible force.
It was a subtle and unchangeable control. In fact, even if the members of the expedition knew about it from the beginning, they would not be able to change it at all. No matter when, the attacking party would always take the initiative. They could attack as fast as they wanted, and use whatever methods they wanted to attack. On the other hand, the defending party could only be led by the nose.
Clearly, the hideous Lord Devourer was not a guy who only knew how to fight recklessly. Instead, it seemed to be using brute force to bombard the enemy, but there was also a unique sense of slyness.
When Legendary powerhouses like Archbishop Martin and Donald, who were at the peak of the expedition, realized that the rhythm of their defense was getting out of their control, it was already impossible for them to change it. They could totally foresee that once their own defensive rhythm was completely integrated into Lord Devourer's rhythm, the only outcome that awaited them was death. It was as if he knew that there was an abyss in front of him, but he could not stop himself from sliding towards it. Any struggle was futile.
In fact, if it weren't for the tender Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua, the members of the expedition would have long been engulfed by the magic storm of the Lord Devourer. The contribution of the tender Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua in terms of defense alone was comparable to that of the rest of the expedition. Even so, no one had any idea how long the expedition's defense could last.
Archbishop Martin and Donald had no choice but to turn to look at Lin Li from time to time while trying their best to hold on. Their faces were filled with anxiety. Actually, it was not that the others did not want to look at him, but that they had no time to be distracted under the immense pressure brought about by Lord Devourer.
However, at this moment, Lin Li seemed to be completely unaware of the tense atmosphere around him. All he could see was the pile of dispensing equipment in front of him, and his hands moved smoothly through the steps one after another. Amidst the tremors caused by the violent bombardment of the magic spells, the potion in Lin Li's potion bottle did not ripple at all, and the magic flames did not waver at all. It was as if they were completely isolated from this world.
However, Lin Li's calm performance did not have much impact on the members of the expedition. After all, they were the ones who were really under immense pressure now, and they were also the ones who were worried that the defense would collapse at any time. If the defense collapsed, they would be the ones who would die. As a Sanctuary powerhouse, even if Lin Li could not kill Lord Devourer, he definitely had the ability to protect himself. However, the rest of the expedition, including the powerhouses who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm, did not have that ability.
Just when the members of the expedition were anxiously waiting for Lin Li to come up with a solution, the situation suddenly changed again, catching them off guard. The magic storm that filled everyone's vision suddenly rolled back towards Lord Devourer like a receding tide. However, that was not something to rejoice about. It was because at the same time that the magic storm rolled back, the members of the expedition also felt an irresistible suction force. The various defensive magic spells that shrouded the expedition were also instantly deformed and shattered under the huge suction force.
The most terrible thing was that the timing that Lord Devourer chose happened to be when the expedition's defense had just been exhausted, and they had not yet recovered their strength. Of course, that opportunity was actually created by Lord Devourer. Through its control of the rhythm, it forced the expedition to this point step by step.
The tender Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua could almost cast Legendary-level magic instantaneously without any restrictions, but the rest of the expedition could not do that, not even Legendary powerhouses like Archbishop Martin and Donald. After all, even if it was just spitting and scolding, it would still need time to catch its breath, let alone using the Laws to manipulate mana. It was fine to cast one or two Legendary-level magic instantaneously, but continuously casting Legendary-level magic instantaneously might cause one's head to explode on its own.
The sudden attack of Lord Devourer immediately sent the expedition into the abyss, and cut off all hope of turning the situation around. Even the tender Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua was powerless to change anything at this time. As soon as the defensive magic was cast, it was torn apart by the huge suction force and sucked away.
The huge mouth of Lord Devourer was just like a black hole that could even devour stars, and the entire space distorted and collapsed under the huge suction force. At the outermost periphery of the expedition, the Holy Light Knights that were shrouded by the Holy Light Battle Song were sucked away in just an instant. They finally experienced what it was like to be as fast as lightning, but the outcome of the experience was not pleasant.
Everyone in the expedition knew that the dozen or so Radiant Paladins were only one step ahead of them. Perhaps it would only take a few seconds for them to be sucked into the huge mouth of the enemy, and end up in the same way.
"Master Felic!" While resisting the huge suction force, Archbishop Martin once again looked towards Lin Li anxiously. However, this time, he discovered that Lin Li, who had been preparing the potion just now, had actually disappeared without him knowing.
Could it be that he had already given up on everyone and escaped!? After Archbishop Martin, Donald and many others also discovered this. At the same time, they also believed that with Lin Li's strength in the Sanctuary-realm, it should not be a problem for him to escape alone. Hence, seeing that Lin Li was no longer around, that became the first possibility that almost everyone thought of.
Indeed, everyone below the Sanctuary-realm was insignificant, and why would a Sanctuary powerhouse care about the life and death of an insignificant insignificant? If they were in Lin Li's shoes, they would probably prioritize their own lives in such a situation. A Sanctuary powerhouse was already an existence close to the gods, and they might even become immortal one day. How could they be willing to die with a bunch of insignificant insignificant beings? In fact, not to mention the people from the Brilliance Shrine and the Rotterdam, even many people from the Tower of Dusk had the same thought.
However, at this moment, Lin Li's figure suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Lord Devourer. There was no debris of the stars in his hand, and all he had was a crystal potion bottle that seemed to be nothing special. It was filled with a potion that shone with dreamy colors.
Lin Li's sudden appearance gave Lord Devourer a great shock. Even it did not dare to underestimate a true Sanctuary powerhouse. Hence, it immediately cast Thunderbolts and Flames to attack Lin Li. However, when casting spells, Lord Devourer had to stop devouring. Otherwise, no matter how much magic it cast, it would still be devoured by itself.
At the instant that Lord Devourer stopped devouring, Lin Li raised his hand and tossed the crystal potion bottle into Lord Devourer's mouth without even looking at the surging Thunderbolts and Flames.
When Lord Devourer used its Devouring talent, it would make use of the nomological power that could disintegrate everything. Even the most vicious poison in the world would be instantly disintegrated into pure energy. However, Lin Li, a former opponent, knew very well that when Lord Devourer stopped devouring, it would also stop using the nomological power of disintegration.
The potion bottle disappeared in a flash, and disappeared into Lord Devourer's mouth. Lin Li immediately activated the Space Robe on his body, and his figure flashed back to the sky above the expedition. Immediately afterwards, the debris of the stars, Gloomy Dark and Holy Light, appeared in his hands again, and a huge light and darkness barrier immediately shrouded the entire expedition.
Almost at the same time, Lord Devourer let out an angry roar towards the sky. With its bloated body as the center, a huge amount of mana gushed out in all directions like a flood from a broken dam. The pure mana seemed to have substance as it surged and washed the surrounding space violently. Although it did not form any magic, it still had amazing power.
Seeing Lin Li appear in the sky above the team, Archbishop Martin and the others could not help but perk up. Immediately afterwards, when they saw the changes in Lord Devourer's body, they were even more ecstatic. Although they did not know what exactly Lin Li had done to Lord Devourer, anyone with eyes could tell that there was definitely something wrong with Lord Devourer's body now.
Yes, there was something wrong with Lord Devourer's body, and the reason was the potion that Lin Li had thrown into its mouth. It was a Heart-piercing Potion.
Back in the Haiga Mountain Range, when Lin Li was fighting with the Elemental Dragon's projected avatar, he had once taken a Heart-piercing Potion. Not only did it cause him to lose all his mana, but it also created a terrifying Magic-forbidding Domain. It was precisely because of the Magic-forbidding Domain that the Elemental Dragon's projected avatar lost its combat power, and was almost hammered to death.
However, this time, Lin Li did not take it himself, and instead gave the Heart-piercing Potion to Lord Devourer to taste. After all, Lin Li had experienced the pain of losing all his mana once. One of the biggest reasons why he had taken the Heart-piercing Potion back then was because he could not feed it to the Elemental Dragon's projected avatar. However, the gap in Lord Devourer's mouth was large enough for a small potion bottle to pass through even when it was closed. Hence, Lin Li did not have to suffer that kind of pain himself.
In fact, when Lin Li was exploring the Well of the Sun in the Endless World, he had used a Heart-piercing Potion to kill Lord Devourer of that world. This time, it was just that he did not expect to come to the Well of the Sun again and encounter Lord Devourer. Otherwise, he would have prepared such a Heart-piercing Potion a long time ago. Although he did not achieve any results in the previous battle with Lord Devourer, the more important purpose was to confirm if the Lord Devourer that he encountered now was exactly the same as the Lord Devourer in the Endless World.
When the Heart-piercing Potion entered Lord Devourer's mouth, the strong medicinal effect had already exploded in its body rapidly before it could use the power of the Decomposition Laws. At this point, even the Decomposition Laws were useless. Under the effect of the Heart-piercing Potion, the mana that Lord Devourer had devoured for thousands of years was suddenly freed from its shackles.
The total amount of mana that Lord Devourer had devoured was greater than that of an ordinary Sanctuary powerhouse. Now that it was suddenly released, it actually formed a mana tide. The principle of the Magical Crystal Cannon was also a simple release of mana. This was just like the self-destruction of a Sanctuary powerhouse. Although it was not as violent as a self-destruction, the power contained in it was probably not an exaggeration to say that it could destroy heaven and earth.
Looking at the seemingly substantial mana outside the barrier, it was like layers of waves in the sea during a storm, constantly crashing against the light and darkness barrier, accompanied by loud rumbling sounds. The members of the expedition who were shrouded in the light and darkness barrier were completely dumbfounded at this moment. They had never seen such a scene in their lives.
In contrast, the Abyssal Demons outside the light and darkness barrier were not as lucky as the expedition. In the mana tide, regardless of the level of the Abyssal Demons and how strong their bodies were, they were all like sand sculptures that were washed away into the most basic particles in the blink of an eye. They completely disappeared from this world.
Looking at the fate of the Abyssal Demons, the members of the expedition could not help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, Lin Li returned to the sky above the expedition in time, and used Holy Light and Gloomy Dark to prop up a light and darkness barrier that enveloped everyone in the expedition. Otherwise, apart from himself, even the powerhouses who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm would not be able to survive this magic tide.
