With the power of the curse that could destroy the World Laws, the King of Curses could still pose a great threat to Sanctuary Masters of a higher level even though it was slightly inferior in terms of level.
Lin Li was well aware of how terrifying the King of Curses was. If he had encountered the King of Curses in the past, his only choice would have been to escape. However, Lin Li was now looking for an opportunity to verify the gains he had obtained from the Well of the Sun, and to what extent his combat power could reach.
Hence, Lin Li did not stand by and watch Donald seek help. He pointed his finger, and the seven pieces of the debris of the stars flew out one after another, instantly forming a massive Domain World that pressed heavily on the enemies.
In an instant, be it the Legendary-level corporeal Vengeful Spirits or the massive Alchemy Colossuses, they could not resist at all in the Domain World, and were almost crushed into powder under the pressure of the World Power. On the other hand, the King of Curses also exerted its curse power with all its might, and a large amount of chilling aura seeped into Lin Li's Domain World in a bid to disintegrate it.
However, Lin Li had now reached the peak of level-26 after obtaining the Immortal King's memory fragments and restoring the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. The Domain World that he had created now had evolved into a world with infinite vitality, and had become extremely stable with the support of the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. If Lin Li's current Domain World were to collide with the Immortal King's incarnation's Domain World again, it would definitely not collapse so easily even if it could not gain the upper hand.
Lin Li did not immediately strangle the King of Curses, and instead carefully sensed the role of the power of the curse in the Domain World. Instead, he found some subtle flaws in the Domain World through the power of the curse. When he fixed the subtle flaws that he found, Lin Li finally pointed his finger, and the seven pieces of the debris of the stars spun abruptly. The massive World Power instantly wiped out the King of Curses.
With the dissipation of the King of Curses, the people of the Brilliance Shrine and the Rotterdam Kingdom finally regained their ability to move. However, Archbishop Martin and the others were still standing there in a daze, unable to react to everything around them. All they could think of was the scene of Lin Li killing the King of Curses.
Although Archbishop Martin was only at the peak of the Legendary-level, he had been by Pope Rosario's side for so many years, so he was rather knowledgeable. Hence, with just a glance, he could immediately feel that Lin Li's current strength had definitely undergone a drastic change compared to when he had just entered the Central Tower.
He stepped into the Saint realm at such a young age, and in the blink of an eye, he advanced again. Was he still a f * cking human? How could they let others live?! Archbishop Martin, who had a gentle temperament, felt inexplicably sorrowful and indignant at this moment. Did I really live all my years in vain?
On the other hand, apart from the joy of surviving a disaster, Donald and Kanber finally found out that Lin Li had indeed not suffered any injuries during the final battle in the Well of the Sun. Instead, his strength had made a huge breakthrough. This made them finally give up, and they just wanted to leave Sky Castle as soon as possible, and get away from that abnormal existence as soon as possible.
However, Donald was very clear that he still had to rely on Lin Li's protection before leaving this place. Hence, he approached Lin Li with a face full of gratitude, and said, "Master Felic, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, all of us would have died here."
"Okay, don't talk so much. Go find what you're looking for, there are still things to do," Lin Li urged while waving his hand nonchalantly. The gratitude of cannon fodder was worthless to him, and the value of cannon fodder was to be used at the most appropriate time.
Donald and the others did not care about Lin Li's urging, and instead felt much more relieved. At least that meant that Lin Li didn't seem to care much about what they were looking for.
Soon, the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom entered the control center, and found a metal box in which there was a thick notebook. It was said to have been written by the Immortal King when he was researching alchemy.
Donald initially planned to use the notebook to lure Angelano to the Rotterdam Kingdom in a bid to rope the Alchemy Master who owned a Titan-level Alchemy Colossus to the Rotterdam Kingdom.
However, Angelano only took a few glances at it before tossing it back. When the other party picked it up in a flurry, he said in disdain, "It's just some low-level alchemy information, yet you guys treat it like a treasure."
It turned out that although the alchemy notebook did belong to the Immortal King, it was written during the early days of the Immortal King's research on alchemy. Perhaps an ancestor of the royal family of the Rotterdam Kingdom had secretly obtained the notebook that might have been forgotten by the Immortal King by taking advantage of his authority. However, after all, it belonged to the Immortal King, and that person dared not take it away openly. Hence, he could only place it in the room of the control center. In the end, he didn't have the chance to take it out when he left, and hence left some information for his descendants.
The notebook that really recorded the Immortal King's highest alchemy achievement was actually the one that the Ashen Warlock gave to Lin Li, which recorded the creation of the perfect body. If that ancestor of the royal family of the Rotterdam Kingdom had stolen that notebook back then, the entire Rotterdam Kingdom would probably have to bear the wrath of the Immortal King.
Hence, with Angelano's Guru-level attainments in Alchemy Colossuses, he naturally wouldn't be interested in such a basic thing. However, what was basic in Angelano's eyes was already profound knowledge in the eyes of the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom. Donald only flipped through a few pages, and he was certain that the content in the notebook was enough to allow the Rotterdam Kingdom to achieve a huge breakthrough in alchemy, which had already reached a bottleneck.
Finally, Donald and Kanber could heave a long sigh of relief. The value of the alchemy notebook alone was enough to make up for the losses caused by the exploration this time. Besides, the two of them were almost certain that after returning to the Rotterdam Kingdom, they would definitely obtain a higher status because of it.
The Brilliance Shrine and the Rotterdam Kingdom had already completed their respective exploration goals. If possible, they really wanted to leave this damned place immediately. However, that was not up to them. Although they had already found what they were looking for, the key to whether they could leave this place alive was still up to the Tower of Dusk.
"Master Felic, I don't know the purpose of your exploration this time, but as long as you need us, we will definitely do our best to help you." After Donald put away the alchemy notebook, he immediately ran towards Lin Li to express his loyalty. In fact, he was just saying those pretty words.
Of course, Donald didn't know that they had already become cannon fodder for Lin Li many times along the way, and they were going to continue to be cannon fodder.
Lin Li did not explain to them what his goal was, and instead led them to the central area of the underground space after the team was reorganized. There was a huge Teleportation Portal in the central area, and the destination of the Teleportation Portal was the top floor of the Central Tower, which was the floor where the control crystal was once placed.
In fact, the real control center of the Sky Castle was on the top floor of the Central Tower, where the control crystal was used to control the entire Sky Castle. The control center in the underground space only played a supporting role. In the absence of a control crystal, it could only operate the Sky Castle.
Archbishop Martin, Donald, and the others were already very familiar with the structure of the Sky Castle. Hence, when they saw that Lin Li was actually going to the real control center, they couldn't help but be a little surprised. At the same time, they couldn't help but make an unbelievable guess.
Could it be that his real purpose of coming here was not to find some treasure, but to gain control of the entire Sky Castle!? That thought made Archbishop Martin and the others feel a little incredulous.
However, when they first cooperated, Lin Li did not have any intention of exploring the other areas of the Sky Castle at all, and instead set his sights on the Central Tower. That seemed to confirm Archbishop Martin's guess. Besides, they also knew that Lin Li had already taken away all the valuable things in the Central Tower when he first explored the Sky Castle. If it weren't for the sake of gaining control of the Sky Castle, there would be no need for him to go to the Central Tower again.
At this moment, Donald and the others finally reacted. It was no wonder that the Tower of Dusk didn't want anything when they were talking about cooperation and distribution. It felt like they were there to join in the fun. It turned out that the Tower of Dusk didn't want those things because they didn't care about them at all. What they wanted was the entire Sky Castle.
To be honest, that goal shocked Donald and the others. It wasn't that they didn't know how powerful the Sky Castle was, but they had never thought of taking it for themselves. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but rather that they knew their limits, and knew that the Sky Castle was not something that they could swallow with their power. Besides, even if the Rotterdam Kingdom used all its power, it would be impossible for them to take over the Sky Castle.
Besides, along the way, the facts had indeed proven that point. Even if the Rotterdam Kingdom sent an army, they wouldn't be able to get past the Undead World and the Well of the Sun. Donald was very clear that he and the others had managed to get there not because of their own power, but because of the power of the Tower of Dusk and the young President.
It's too terrifying. What kind of force is this Tower of Dusk? Their President is a young Sanctuary powerhouse, and he has a bunch of peak Legendary-level monsters under him. Yet, he actually wants to gain control of the Sky Castle!? Donald did not dare to imagine what kind of terrifying existence such a mysterious and powerful force would become if they really obtained the Sky Castle.
In the blink of an eye, the expedition had already left the underground space through the Teleportation Portal, and arrived at the top floor of the Central Tower. The space on this floor was as empty as before, and there were no unnecessary decorations. There was only a pyramid-shaped crystal platform in the middle of the space, which was the activation control panel of the Sky Castle.
Looking at the control panel in front of him, Lin Li couldn't help but feel a little excited, but at the same time, he also felt a little puzzled about why Osric, who was hiding somewhere, hadn't appeared yet.
What Lin Li needed to do now was to place the control crystal on the control panel, and then activate the control system of the entire Sky Castle. As long as he did that, the Immortal King's Sky Castle would completely belong to Lin Li. Even if Osric appeared, he wouldn't be able to snatch control of the Sky Castle away.
Although they had experienced many difficulties along the way, Lin Li still felt that things seemed to be going too smoothly when he looked at the control panel that was right in front of him at this moment. It was so smooth that it was unbelievable.
However, no matter what, Lin Li had no reason to give up now that he had already come this far. He couldn't possibly keep waiting for Osric to appear. If Osric was held up by something, Lin Li would be wasting a great opportunity if he were to procrastinate. Of course, he still had to be careful. He also didn't want everything to go to waste at the last moment.
After getting the members of the expedition to stay alert and wait, Lin Li strode towards the control panel alone. At the same time, he took out the magical control crystal from the Ring of Endless Storm.
However, when Lin Li walked to the control panel, and reached out to place the control crystal into the groove of the control panel, a figure suddenly appeared beside the control panel. Before Lin Li could react, the figure had already attacked at lightning speed, and snatched the control crystal from Lin Li's hand.
As soon as the figure appeared and snatched the control crystal, a powerful and irresistible mana wave erupted like a volcano. The powerful mana wave seemed to have substance as it swept in all directions. Even Lin Li, a Sanctuary powerhouse who was at the peak of level-26, couldn't help but be blasted away.
Behind Lin Li, the members of the expedition were in an even worse state. Although they were far away from the control panel, they were still swept away by the mana waves like withered leaves in a gale. They then fell to the ground in disarray. Although the few remaining Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom were huge, they also rolled far away like gourds, and even injured many people.
Lin Li finally stabilized his body in midair, and looked at the side of the control panel, only to see that the figure was indeed Highlord Osric, whom he had been worried about.
At this moment, Osric was holding onto the control crystal that he had just obtained, and was staring at Lin Li with sullen eyes. Strictly speaking, it was the first time Lin Li and Osric had met. When they first met in the Sky Castle, Osric was just a Ghost that was in the process of awakening.
