The infinite mana drowned the entire space, and even the golden light emitted by the palace turned into a strange color under the contrast of the mana that was almost condensed into substance. The shocking mana tide lasted for a long time before gradually fading away.
At this moment, the bloated body of Lord Devourer, which was initially ferocious and ferocious, had completely collapsed on the ground like a puddle of disgusting rotten meat. It was impossible to connect it with the previous Lord Devourer at all. Seeing this scene, the members of the expedition finally heaved a sigh of relief. Clearly, Lord Devourer had been killed.
When Lin Li put away the Light and Darkness Barrier, the members of the expedition immediately sat down on the ground after receiving the signal that it was safe. Even Legendary powerhouses like Archbishop Martin and Donald could not be bothered about maintaining their poise and image at this juncture. All they wanted to do was sit down and take a good breath.
The attack of Lord Devourer just now had brought too much pressure to the expedition, so much so that they felt that breathing freely was a form of enjoyment for them. However, while resting, Archbishop Martin and the others could not help but look at the sky above the team. They could not imagine what Lin Li had done to Lord Devourer. Could it be that he had really killed Lord Devourer, whose strength was comparable to that of a Sanctuary powerhouse, with just a small potion?
However, at this moment, Lin Li did not return to the ground. Instead, he flashed and appeared next to Lord Devourer, which was no longer breathing.
Seeing this scene, Archbishop Martin and the others were even more puzzled. Could it be that the corpse of Lord Devourer had some special value?
Although Archbishop Martin and the others knew nothing about the origin of Lord Devourer, it was a terrifying existence that was comparable to that of a Sanctuary powerhouse, after all. Putting aside the value of the pile of rotten meat, the value of the magical crystal that contained infinite mana was probably far greater than that of ordinary Legendary magical crystals!
However, at the thought of this, they could not help but recall the scene just now. According to the amount of mana released, even if Lord Devourer had left behind the magical crystal, the mana in it would probably have already dissipated long ago.
Of course, they were just curious. Regardless of the value of Lord Devourer's corpse, the members of the expedition were not dissatisfied with Lin Li's actions. After all, Lord Devourer was killed with a potion from Lin Li.
Lin Li walked towards the corpse of Lord Devourer, and a Light and Darkness Sword condensed above his head. He then pointed at the pile of rotten flesh, and the Light and Darkness Sword landed with a whistling sound. His body, which could initially withstand the bombardment of the debris of the stars, had completely lost its defense at this moment, and was easily cut in half by the Light and Darkness Sword like mud.
In fact, Lord Devourer's strong defense was because it had crystallized the mana that it had devoured, forming a layer of crystallized mana armor outside its body. Hence, its defense was even stronger than that of the ancient wyrms. However, after being fed the Heart-piercing Potion by Lin Li, his mana was no longer restrained, and the layer of magical crystal armor naturally disappeared.
Seeing that Lin Li had really cut open the corpse of Lord Devourer, Archbishop Martin and the rest of the expedition also flew over curiously. However, in order to avoid Lin Li's misunderstanding, they did not directly surround the corpse of Lord Devourer, and instead maintained a certain distance from it. Facing a Sanctuary powerhouse like Lin Li, they probably dared not have any ideas even if they were tempted by the artifact. At this moment, they even had to worry about whether they could successfully get their hands on the target of their exploration.
Lin Li did not care about the arrival of Archbishop Martin and the rest. Instead, he hung the Light and Darkness Sword above the corpse of Lord Devourer, and coldly said, "If you still don't come out, I'll chop you and this corpse into minced meat!"
Upon hearing this, Archbishop Martin and the rest were even more puzzled. Isn't Lord Devourer already dead? Who is Master Felic talking to now!?
However, just as they were feeling puzzled, they suddenly saw a spot wriggling in the corpse that had been cut open. The spot was about the size of a human fist, but compared to the massive corpse of Lord Devourer, it could only be considered a small spot. After the spot wriggled for a while, a strange thing finally emerged from the corpse after a ball of blood burst out.
It was about the size of a human fist, and was about the same size as the tender Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua. However, it was not as adorable as Xiao Hua. It had a huge head, but of course, that was only relative. Its head alone took up half of its body, and it had a pair of sesame-sized eyes on its face. It did not have a nose, and its mouth took up half of its head. There were also two short antennae on top of its head. Its skin was wrinkled, and it was stained with the blood of the corpse. It looked extremely disgusting, and its limbs were still as thin as tree branches. In fact, they were worried that they would not be able to support its fist-sized body.
Archbishop Martin and the rest never thought that such an ugly thing would emerge from the corpse of Lord Devourer. However, they were still clueless about the origin of this thing, just like how they knew nothing about Lord Devourer.
However, when that thing appeared, Archbishop Martin and the rest unanimously put on their guard. After all, it had emerged from the body of Lord Devourer, and God knew what kind of terrifying danger was hidden under its ugly appearance.
It was Lin Li's second time seeing that thing, so he naturally did not have any special expression. Next, he pointed his finger, and the Light and Darkness Sword that had slashed open Lord Devourer's corpse immediately landed on the head of that ugly thing. It hung there as if it would slash down at any time.
At the moment when the Light and Darkness Sword fell, that thing let out an ear-piercing shriek. At the same time, a mental wave was transmitted into Lin Li's mind.
"Don't, don't kill me, I'm just a parasitic demon on Lord Devourer. Don't you want the treasures? I can tell you where it has hidden the treasures here! " The ugly thing begged Lin Li for mercy, and even threw out a deal that almost no one could refuse.
Even if they did not know that this was once the Sun Shrine of the High Elves, they would definitely be able to tell that this palace was extraordinary. Probably no one would think that there was really nothing valuable here. Besides, as long as there were treasures, they would definitely not be treasures in the ordinary sense. Its value would definitely be beyond people's imagination.
In the face of the temptation of treasures, be it humans or demons, it would be hard for them not to be tempted. Otherwise, who would take such a huge risk to come to such a place? Hence, the deal that the ugly thing proposed was irresistible to most people.
However, unfortunately, Lin Li was not one of the majority. Although the treasures were also very tempting to him, there would be no temptation if he knew that the treasures were illusory. Lin Li had explored the Well of the Sun before, and his understanding of the entire Well of the Sun was probably much more than that of the ugly thing in front of him. If there were really any treasures, he would have long gone to retrieve them himself.
"Parasitic demon? Yes, it is, but I'm afraid it's you, Lord Devourer, that poor fellow. " Faced with the deal proposed by the other party, Lin Li was completely dismissive, and there was a hint of coldness in his mental fluctuations.
"W-what are you talking about? I don't understand …" The ugly thing did not panic because of Lin Li's words, and instead looked a little lost.
However, the other party's behavior might be able to fool others, but it had no effect on Lin Li, who had killed Lord Devourer once. It was because Lin Li was not guessing at all, and was extremely certain that the ugly thing in front of him was the real Lord Devourer, and the dissected corpse was actually just a poor worm that had been parasitized.
Actually, it was all thanks to the Endless World being a game. Otherwise, Lin Li would not have associated the ugly thing in front of him with the ferocious Lord Devourer.
When Lin Li was exploring the Well of the Sun in the Endless World, he did not immediately receive a system notification of the successful kill after killing Lord Devourer. At first, he thought that Lord Devourer was faking its death, so he bombarded the corpse indiscriminately, and accidentally forced out the fellow hiding inside. Only then did he know the true identity of Lord Devourer.
In fact, that huge and bloated body was just a walking corpse that was parasitized by Lord Devourer. This ugly fellow that looked like he could blow it away with a single breath was the real Lord Devourer. Its original body was actually a Devouring Demon in the Endless Abyss, a parasite that all demons hated.
The Devouring Demon itself was actually very weak. If it did not rely on other high-level demons to parasitize, it would probably only be an existence of the lowest level in the Endless Abyss. Only after they gradually occupied the body of a high-level demon host through parasitism could they grow into Lord Devourer.
However, not all Devouring Demons had the chance to become Lord Devourer. There were many other coincidences and special circumstances involved. Otherwise, the entire Abyss would have long become the world of Devouring Demons. Occupying the body of a High Demon was easier said than done. With the power of a Devouring Demon, even if it occupied the body of a High Demon, it would be killed by the mana fluctuations emitted by the High Demon's mana crystal.
However, once the Devouring Demon successfully occupied the body of the High Demon, it would begin to devour all kinds of energy, from invisible magical elements to tangible ores. As long as it fell into its mouth, it would be decomposed and converted into energy.
While devouring and absorbing energy, it would also use this energy to transform the host's body, constantly strengthening the already powerful body of the High Demon in all aspects as if it was building its own castle. In the end, the body would be transformed beyond recognition, growing into a terrifying existence that even the Ancient Demons would avoid.
Although the Devouring Demon had lost its host, and no longer had the terrifying power that was comparable to the Sanctuary-realm, why would Lin Li waste time on meaningless things? Lin Li was very clear that although the Devouring Demon Garl had become very weak now, it could still regain its original strength if it could occupy the body of a high-level demon.
In terms of speed of casting spells, the Devouring Demon Garl and the tender Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua seemed to be on par. However, the Devouring Demon's ability to devour any attack was something that the tender Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua did not have. In fact, Lin Li had already thought about it when he first came into contact with Lord Devourer.
However, in the Well of the Sun in the Endless World, Lin Li killed the Devouring Demon with one arrow after forcing it out. The main reason was that he, as a Hunter, could not keep the Devouring Demon as a hunting pet. After all, no matter how high the degree of freedom was in the Endless World, it was ultimately just a game.
However, it was different now. Anril was a real world without the rigid restrictions of the game world. That made it possible for Lin Li to realize the idea that he had once had.
Seeing that the Devouring Demon Garl was still pretending to be dumb, Lin Li pressed the Light and Darkness Sword that was hanging above its head down again. The blade formed by the Light and Darkness Sword had even made a small cut on Garl's head. Afterwards, Lin Li said to Garl in a cold tone through his mental strength, "Put away your tricks. I'll only give you two choices: surrender or die!"
Sensing the cold and murderous intent transmitted through his mental strength, the Devouring Demon Garl's weak body couldn't help but tremble slightly. However, the choice that Garl made was the exact opposite of what he feared. As if he would rather die than submit, he said, "Y-You can just kill me. I'm the dignified Lord Devourer, I won't be a slave to a human."
Since his identity had already been exposed, there was naturally no need for Garl to hide anything. However, that did not mean that he was really not afraid of death. In fact, he knew very well that when someone gave a choice between death and another, the purpose was actually to make the person choose the other. The reason was very simple, but it also showed his value in the eyes of the other party, which meant that the other party was actually not willing to kill him easily. Hence, there was room for negotiation.
However, Garl clearly did not understand Lin Li's means, and acted like he would rather die than submit in a bid to increase his value. However, he did not know that he was actually facing a human who was even more terrifying than a demon.
After hearing Garl's answer, Lin Li's face revealed a hint of mockery, and he said, "How can death be that simple? As a demon, you should know that death is actually a form of relief in many cases."
Garl was about to say something more courageous, but he suddenly felt a surge of power being channeled into his head. The power did not seem to have any effect on his body, but it rushed directly into his soul.
