The power of the two collided on both sides of the light membrane, and in an instant, the light membrane formed by the array started fiercely fluctuating. After three seconds, the light membrane was like a giant's hand fiercely squeezing a bubble and burst into pieces.
Suddenly, the two people's auras burst out at this moment. Their auras collided in the center, and rays of lightning appeared in the void. The light and the fluctuations were like the collision of spells cast by real powerhouses, and crackling sounds kept echoing.
Seeing that Heaven Sword Saint holding a black longsword with a sharp face and a frightening radiance in his eyes, Lin Yun's pupils suddenly shrank and a terrifying sense of crisis appeared. His whole body, even his mana and soul, were giving off a dangerous warning. That was a feeling that could only appear when he was about to die.
In an instant, Lin Yun unhesitantly burst with all his power.
The Book of Death's buff, the Draconic Staff's buff, and even the Equilibrium Law's power were all used by Lin Yun. His body floated in the air and an ancient dark bronze scales appeared under his feet. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Book of Mantras respectively fell on the two trays of the scales.
And behind him, the hundred-meter-tall Purple Dragon shadow holding the wheel shadow appeared. The Law Runic Shield also transformed into a layer of transparent light membrane that enveloped Lin Yun's body.
The berserk mana transformed into a wave that spurted out at full power. The condensed mana was like rain falling around Lin Yun. In an instant, the aura of mana around Lin Yun was so dense that it could suffocate people.
On the other side, Laibo growled and his body seemed to instantly grow a bit taller. He was two meters tall and was holding a 1.6-meter-long narrow sword. It looked very uncoordinated and the gap between him and an ordinary swordsman was too big. Only swordsman apprentices who were around ten years old would use this kind of short and narrow sword.
But at this moment, most of Lin Yun's attention was focused on that pitch-black sword that didn't have a trace of luster. The source of that fatal danger came from that seemingly lifeless narrow sword.
The sword itself was emitting an aura of death, but it also contained a terrifying life force. However, it was not as attractive as the narrow sword that did not seem special at all.
Lin Yun looked at Laibo with a solemn expression, fighting spirit burning in his eyes.
'There's actually a living person here? Such a powerful 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouse. The feeling of danger even surpasses that of the dark curse mage from before. Is that guy the guardian of the ruins?
As for Laibo, his eyes flickered and his fighting spirit surged. He didn't think too much and only treated Lin Yun as the guardian of the ruins.
In an instant, the two of them simultaneously made a move. Numerous law runes surged on Lin Yun's Draconic Staff and the wheel shadow behind him rapidly rotated. Countless law runes spurted out like a flood.
A row of twelve elemental vortexes formed an arc floating in the sky. The ten-meter-big elemental vortexes were like a flood as the tightly gathered spells of the four elements spurted out. They then rotated and twisted together like a horizontal tornado. They transformed into a hundred-meter-thick storm that swept towards Laibo.
Anderfa controlled the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel to launch an elemental storm while Syudos controlled the Book of Mantras to spurt out a flood of flames.
The four elemental spell storm, all kinds of flames converged into a flood of flames, and a pure elemental storm twisted under the berserk power before converging into a thick, world-destroying storm that swept towards Laibo.
Facing this terrifying chaotic fusion storm, Laibo's eyes were burning with fighting spirit. The aura of death emitted by his body instantly rose to its peak and his gray Aura Radiance was like a small gray sun.
After taking a step forward, Laibo held his black longsword with one hand and softly shook his arm, as if he hadn't moved at all. But a dozen gray Aura Slashes flew out in front of him.
These grey Dou Qi Slashes were only a meter thick and looked like grey arrows shooting out. There were more than a dozen Dou Qi Slashes. One of them was at the very front, spinning rapidly, while the second row had three, the third row had five, and the fourth row had seven …
All the Aura Slashes revolved and seemed to form a thick gray pillar that tore through the air and ruthlessly pierced into Lin Yun's Destruction Storm.
The radiance emitted by the Dou Qi, which was filled with deathly stillness, spread like a plague the moment it came into contact with the Destruction Storm. It rapidly infected everything in its surroundings. The Destruction Storm, which was emitting a colorful radiance, immediately turned gray after being torn apart by this Dou Qi.
It was as if the mana and elements inside had been infected by the deathly still aura, losing all vitality and dying. The berserk elemental power had instantly turned into silent, lifeless, deathly still elements.
The activity of the surrounding elements plummeted in an instant. Streams of aura pierced into the Tiamat's Wrath, just like a hot knife stabbing into a block of ice. The heat of the hot knife rapidly dissipated, and the block of ice also continuously melted.
A gray Aura Slash opened a path in front, followed by the Aura Slash from behind. The consumption of power was very small as it rushed over a hundred meters. When it pierced through the Destruction Storm, three of the dozen Auras Slashes didn't dissipate and charged towards Lin Yun's body.
More than half of the remaining Destruction Storm was pressuring towards Laibo.
Even if the power of the Destruction Storm had been somewhat weakened, the remnant power wasn't something an ordinary 1st Rank Heaven powerhouse could resist. But Laibo was holding his black sword with one hand and his thin body was charging towards the Destruction Storm.
The berserk elemental power was like a pile of butter being cut by a red-hot knife after being slashed by that black sword. Laibo raised his longsword and charged out of the storm of destruction towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun couldn't help being startled as he saw this scene. That guy's Aura was very strange, it could actually easily cut through the Destruction Storm made of elemental power.
That aura of destruction was simply the bane of spells. After all, the power of spells was greatly related to the concentration and activity of elements.
The concentration of elements was a bit better. Lin Yun had the support of a Natural Demiplane and didn't care about mana consumption. Even if he didn't draw support from the elemental power contained within the air, he could display enough fighting power purely by relying on mana.
In a fight, all the performance of spells was for the sake of destruction. Thus, the stronger the activity, the stronger the spell's power. Even if a spell was released with pure mana, the spell released would still be elemental power, not mana power.
At such times, the activity of elements would become the most influential factor in a spell's power. Why was the Elemental Storm so powerful? It was because the Elemental Storm only contained pure elemental power. But it was the most berserk and most active elemental power. It was berserk to the point that it could strangle everything. This was the fundamental reason why the Elemental Storm was so powerful.
Without the berserk level of activity, the Elemental Storm would only be a pile of ordinary elemental power. Its destructive power might even be inferior to an Icicle.
When Lin Yun used Slash, he would involuntarily raise the activity of the surrounding elements. That way, he could increase his fighting strength to the maximum.
As for Laibo, his power was filled with deathly stillness. It looked like Aura of Death, but it didn't have that kind of huge death aura. Instead, he was filled with the radiance of life.
Places contaminated by Aura could not only melt with spells, but it could also reduce the activity of the surrounding elements, reducing them to a deathly stillness.
In that kind of place, even an 8th Tier Spell's power would only be comparable to a 4th or 5th Tier Spell's.
During Noscent's end, mana was exhausted and there was almost no active elemental power in the air. The power of any spell had been weakened to the extreme. This was also the reason why many mages were clearly of a higher rank but were killed by the lower rank Sandworms.
Seeing the few Aura Slashes rushing over, Lin Yun didn't pay attention to them. Instead, he rapidly spat out law runes and Four Element Bombs kept condensing and flying towards Laibo.
The remaining grey Aura Slashes hit Lin Yun's Law Runic Shield and the deathly stillness power started spreading. The throbbing of the law runes became sluggish. A few weakened Aura Slashes made four to five thousand law runes throbbing on Lin Yun's Law Runic Shield.
Even after the deathly stillness power spread, the activity of the elemental power in Lin Yun's surroundings decreased by a lot. Then, the huge amount of mana instantly pulled up that bit of activity.
On the other side, Laibo brandished his black sword and slashed at the Four Element Bombs. Wherever his black sword slashed, the elements instantly became still. It was as if the originally colorful world would instantly turn gray as long as it was slashed by his black sword.
The Four Element Bombs exploded one after the other and the pure explosive power spread and attacked Laibo's body. In an instant, Laibo's expression slightly changed. The elemental power was negligible, the true power was the pure explosive power. This wasn't elemental power, it was a kind of pure impact similar to a mana crystal cannon. It was more like a physical attack caused by a spell.
Laibo instantly gave up on his charge and used his black sword to block in front of him. His body was pushed back a few dozen meters by the huge impact. When the impact hit Laibo's thin Battle Aura Armor, that seemingly thin Battle Aura Armor burst with fierce defensive power.
A layer of gray light flowed on the surface of the Battle Aura Armor. Any impact that hit the Battle Aura Armor was instantly extinguished by the deathly stillness power. As for the remaining power that penetrated the Battle Aura Armor, it would encounter that dazzling sun-like huge amount of life power and be instantly scattered.
And the injuries Laibo received would instantly be healed by that terrifying life power.
Lin Yun floated in the air and looked at Laibo with a solemn expression. He instantly understood a lot of Laibo's details.
That seemingly thin Battle Aura Armor was indeed inferior to many Swordsmen's Battle Aura Armor in terms of pure defensive power. Most Heaven Rank Sword Saints' Battle Aura Armor was equivalent to a complete isolation power, isolating all attacks on the outside.
This kind of method was very powerful in terms of pure defensive power, but it consumed a lot of Aura. Moreover, a lot of power had to be divided to take care of the Battle Aura Armor.
As for Laibo's Battle Aura Armor, its structure wasn't that simple and crude. It was like a thick layer of iron covering his body. It looked very thin, but it had layers of filtering defense. Every layer of defense wasn't strong, but it could greatly weaken the power of the attack with the least amount of consumption.
That way, even if the remaining power could penetrate the Battle Aura Armor, it wouldn't cause too much of an effect. With that guy's dazzling vitality, as long as his heart or head wasn't instantly shattered, it wouldn't be considered too serious of an injury.
And the saved power could strengthen his attacks, making his fighting strength at least 20% higher than an ordinary Heaven Rank Sword Saint. No, if that strange Aura and terrifying battle experience were added, his fighting strength would be at least 50% higher than ordinary Heaven Rank Sword Saints of the same rank!
This was a formidable enemy. Under the 3rd Rank of the Heaven realm, there couldn't be a Heaven Rank Sword Saint stronger than him!
With this kind of fighting strength, he could be considered a powerhouse of the same rank during Noscent's peak.
Lin Yun's expression was solemn as he decisively gave up on using a flood of spells and switched to releasing High Tier Spells. He especially wanted to use the power of law runes. Ordinary elemental spells would instantly be infected by the deathly stillness power. Only the power of law runes could resist that deathly stillness power.
Lin Yun collected his power, and Laibo's expression also became serious. He could clearly sense that he wasn't facing a Heaven Rank powerhouse. Even if he was already at the peak of the 9th Rank of the Archmage realm, he still wasn't a Heaven Rank powerhouse. A mage without Extraordinary Power wasn't on the same level.
The deathly still aura emitted by the black sword in Laibo's hand instantly became even denser. Everything within five meters of his body seemed to have sunk into deathly stillness. The air seemed to have lost its vitality and the elemental power also fell into a stagnant state. It floated in the air as if it had died.
'That terrifying guy is only a 9th Rank Archmage, but he can burst with power comparable to a 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouse. No, he's even more terrifying than some 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouses. That terrifying burst power and the spells he released were more powerful than 9th Tier Spells. If one wasn't strong enough, they might be crushed to death in an instant.
'There's actually such a terrifying guardian in these ruins? Is that guy really a puppet? It doesn't feel like it. But if he isn't a puppet, how could a 9th Rank Archmage burst with such power?
'A 9th Rank Archmage's mana would be completely exhausted after bursting again, but that guy doesn't seem to have used any mana at all.'
The wheel shadow behind Lin Yun rapidly revolved and numerous law runes rushed out. Following Lin Yun's arrangement, they formed an even higher level law rune frame.
A dozen four-meter-long pitch-black Wind Blades instantly disappeared. The dozen pitch-black Wind Blades were like a dozen experienced Sword Saints slashing towards Laibo from all directions. As for the wheel shadow behind Lin Yun, it was still spurting out a flood of law runes.
The flood of flames released by Syudos poured into these law runes and fireballs emitting terrifying auras kept condensing in the air.
The elemental storm released by Anderfa was also poured into the circular law rune frame and burst with power, seemingly ready to explode at any time.
The fireballs turned into a torrential rain that sprinkled towards Laibo. The crazy fighting intent in Lin Yun's eyes turned into raging flames that kept burning and attacking the gate emitting the most ancient aura in his mind.
Laibo had a solemn expression and the black longsword in his hand slowly shone with light. The blade started emitting a white radiance, as if this black sword was finally unsheathed.
After the blade was unsheathed, the black sword seemed to have lost its bindings and the deathly still aura turned into a storm spreading in the surroundings. In an instant, the elemental power within several dozen meters of Laibo's body sank into stillness. Everything became deathly still, as if that place had lost its luster and turned gray. Only Laibo, who was in the center, was the only light there.
The black sword was like Laibo's arm, slashing at the pitch-black Wind Blades from all directions. The Wind Blades were formed from pure law rune power and Laibo's deathly still aura's influence on the Wind Blades was far inferior to the elemental power.
The Wind Blades and the black sword clashed and spatial cracks kept appearing in Laibo's surroundings. The Law Runic Spheres filled with all kinds of flames and the Law Runic Spheres filled with elemental storms rushed into that deathly still area. Their power was somewhat weakened, but the number of these Law Runic Spheres was huge.
Several hundred Law Runic Spheres exploded around Laibo every second. Even if the berserk power lost most of the destructive power of the elements, it still burst with power comparable to a 2nd Rank Heaven Mage.
As he resisted, Laibo kept shooting Aura Slashes at tricky angles. The gray Aura Slashes pierced through the elements and kept attacking Lin Yun. Lin Yun dodged most of them, but a small portion still hit his Law Runic Shield. The number of law runes throbbing on the shield was maintained at over ten thousand.
After all, an ordinary mage under the 4th Rank of the Heaven realm would have four to five thousand law runes. Moreover, those mages' law runes were condensed from ten runes, while Lin Yun's law runes were condensed from twelve runes!
This also meant that the 2nd Rank Heaven Mage's Fusion Shield had already been torn to shreds by Laibo's Aura.
Moreover, the black part of the black sword in Laibo's hand rapidly dissipated and slowly turned into a pure white narrow sword. Laibo's power became even stronger and the deathly still aura carried a feeling of despair that made people's souls sink into eternal death.
Forty seconds passed and the battle between the two had already cleanly destroyed everything within five kilometers. The arrays simply couldn't hold on for long under this kind of berserk power. This was only the middle area of the ruins, but most of the arrays were at the True Spirit Realm. Their defensive power could definitely withstand the attack of a 1st Rank Heaven Spell. But now, they were almost destroyed by the fluctuations of the two's battle.
On the battlefield, one side was a gray deathly still area, while the other was a berserk area filled with all kinds of law runes. As the black sword in Laibo's hand turned completely white, that undodgeable Aura attacked Lin Yun's Law Runic Shield, rousing over fifty thousand of the shield's runes. Moreover, the deathly still power was getting stronger and stronger, and its influence on the law runes was also getting stronger and stronger.
The Equilibrium Law's power only had a dozen seconds left. At this time, Laibo's aura seemed to have changed a bit. That huge vitality no longer burst out and started weakening, but the deathly still aura started strengthening.
Sensing this scene, the frantically fighting Lin Yun decisively took out a potion covered in runic seals. This was the previously refined Bloodsobbing Holysong Potion. After taking that potion, it would be like getting the buff of a living Holysong Spirit and the strength he could display would increase by at least half a rank.
And the lower the level, the higher the increase. This meant that Lin Yun would definitely be able to display a bit more power than a Half-Level Ranker.
And on the other side, Laibo froze when he saw Lin Yun take out the potion. He then immediately retreated over a hundred meters.
"Stop, Sir Formidable Mage, I'm not an enemy."
