Layford lowered his head, no longer looking at Lin Yun 'back. Instead, he pondered how to snatch Lin Yun's research results. Suddenly, Layford's eyes shone.
'Right, after leaving this place, Mafa Merlin will definitely make a copy of the mysteries he researched and hand it over to the Starry Sky College.
'It's said in advance that this is the price of comprehending truth runes. Moreover, making a copy of the mysteries and handing it over to the Starry Sky College will give them corresponding benefits.
'Everyone has to do this, and Mafa Merlin definitely has to do the same. The Starry Sky College must have already estimated how many truth runes he researched, so he will definitely make a copy of all the mysteries.
After all, the more there are, the more benefits he will obtain. Once he makes a copy of all these mysteries, haha … '
Layford lowered his head, his mood suddenly becoming better.
After a few minutes, the space changed once again and everyone arrived in that huge alchemy device.
After leaving, everyone returned to their assigned laboratory and started making a copy of the mysteries they researched. Everyone did the same, and Lin Yun was no exception.
As for Zeith, after seeing everyone out, he hurriedly left through a Teleportation Array inside the Mage Tower.
In another Mage Tower, Zeith was sitting at a round table with a mage who seemed to be in his thirties, but whose eyes were filled with wisdom and vicissitudes of life. There were three crystal balls on the round table, all recording scenes related to Lin Yun.
"Dean Dalaran, these are the records of Mafa Merlin researching truth runes. According to our conjectures, we can roughly estimate that Mafa Merlin researched more than 1600 truth runes …"
Zeith respectfully reported Lin Yun's matter, but his tone couldn't help but contain a trace of shock.
Dean Dalaran stared at the rapidly flashing scenes in the crystal ball, and after three minutes, shock could be seen in his eyes.
"No, it's definitely not just 1600, it should be around 1800. This is a genius, a true genius, a terrifying guy. His attainments in alchemy might have already reached the peak of the Artisan realm."
The dean used an unquestionable tone to state an exact number, but his tone was unable to remain calm.
Zeith's face was filled with shock. This time, he was truly frightened …
1,800 truth runes. This meant that many of the truth runes contained mysteries that the Starry Sky College didn't have. If they copied all the mysteries contained in the truth runes and handed them over to the Starry Sky College, it meant that the Starry Sky College would have to exchange at least three planes with rich resources!
One must know that even the Starry Sky Academy did not have many planes that were rich in resources. Taking out three of them in one go was no different from cutting off a piece of meat.
But compared to the mysteries contained within those 1,800 truth runes, three resource-rich planes wasn't unacceptable, because the value of truth runes was higher. As long as they could research more alchemy, the pressure on the Starry Sky College's plane conquest would lessen. Moreover, the probability of finding new resource-rich planes would greatly increase.
Lin Yun didn't know that one of the three deans of the Starry Sky College had already been alarmed. He was busy copying the mysteries contained within those 1,800 truth runes.
Naturally, using words to copy them would definitely be unable to perfectly express the mysteries contained within the truth runes. But who cared? These mysteries were enough to support an alchemy force, so the Starry Sky College didn't care.
Every Artisan had their own building in the forest, and there was a complete alchemy laboratory within the building. Moreover, this place was even quieter and no one would disturb them. All the Artisans were now sealing themselves in their alchemy laboratory to copy.
Lin Yun's copying speed was very fast. He didn't use a quill to copy, but rather directly took out some crystal plates and used the power of law runes to directly imprint these mysteries on them. This was undoubtedly a few times faster and saved a lot of effort.
Most importantly, only law runes composed of sixteen runes could have this kind of power. Even if an ordinary Heaven Mage copied it onto a crystal plate, they could only copy it bit by bit and couldn't directly copy it.
Lin Yun spent the next seven days completing this task. He would be able to complete all the copying work today and there was already a large pile of crystal plates on the side.
Just as Lin Yun had to copy the last hundred truth runes' mysteries, the laboratory he was in suddenly shook. A warning crystal within the laboratory started flickering and the mana fluctuations even penetrated the laboratory's defenses.
Seeing the flickering crystal, Lin Yun frowned. This was no longer a visit, someone was forcibly attacking the alchemy defenses outside. Moreover, the outermost defenses of the building had already been breached in a very short time.
With a wave of his hand, a few dozen Mana Hands flew out and collected all the crystal plates piled up on the side into his Spatial Ring. Then, the walls of the alchemy laboratory swelled up like plasticine before exploding. The berserk tide of mana transformed into pitch-black flames that rapidly engulfed the entire laboratory.
The alchemy equipment within the laboratory was like a toy being twisted into a strange shape by a giant after being hit by those flames before turning into molten iron.
A layer of transparent light surrounded Lin Yun's body and blocked all the spells outside. But the berserk mana seemed to have found an opening and frantically poured into the laboratory.
Lin Yun coldly looked at the hole that had been blasted open. He could sense that there were at least five Heaven Rank powerhouses waiting outside. As long as he rushed out of that hole, he would have to face the attacks of five Heaven Rank powerhouses at the same time.
Clearly, sensing that Lin Yun wasn't rushing out, the Heaven Rank powerhouses outside didn't take the initiative to rush in. Instead, they increased the amount of spells they poured. In less than three seconds, the berserk mana and surging flames reached the limits of this small laboratory.
Cracks appeared on the surrounding walls, and the entire building exploded with a boom. Flames mixed with debris rushed into the sky, but at a height of a hundred meters, it was blocked by a layer of barrier.
Lin Yun maintained his Fusion Shield and expressionlessly walked out of the sea of flames. He raised his head and glanced at the sky. The space around him was five hundred meters wide and a hundred meters high. It was as if he and those five Heaven Rank powerhouses were sealed in a dark red cuboid.
And at the four corners of the cuboid, there were at least forty 9th Rank Archmages sealed in a corner. They were maintaining this Illusion Void Barrier, and whether it was outside or inside, they couldn't tear open the barrier unless they took the initiative to remove it.
Not far in the sky, there was a group of Griffin Knights flying over, but they didn't seem to notice the abnormality here. This was the effect of the Illusion Void Barrier. Looking from the outside, this place was very quiet, no different from before. Moreover, the mana fluctuations here couldn't spread out.
"Sacrificing three True Spirit Magic Tools at once to create an Illusion Void Barrier, you really went all out. But I don't know if you took into account the fall of the five Heaven Rank powerhouses."
Lin Yun coldly looked at the five black-robed Heaven Mages with their faces hidden. One 2nd Rank Heaven, four 1st Rank Heaven Mages, and forty 9th Rank Archmages, they really went all out.
The four 1st Rank Heaven Mages were floating in four corners, each holding a different-colored chain. The four chains were separately releasing the aura of the four elements. As for the four 1st Rank Heaven Mages, they were also mages of the four elements. That 2nd Rank Heaven Mage was shrouded in black smoke and emitted a dense aura of darkness mana.
Before Lin Yun appeared, the four 1st Rank Heaven Mages had already shaken the chains in their hands. The four-colored chains frantically extended and then curled around Lin Yun's body. The chains seemed to be constructing array patterns, and within a second, a complex three-dimensional array pattern was constructed.
As for the mana emitted by Lin Yun and the surrounding berserk flames, they didn't seem to have any effect on the four-colored chains. The four-colored chains formed a hundred-meter-wide and ten-meter-tall three-dimensional array. The lights of the four elements flickered frequently, and the aura it emitted was as if the Demiplane of the four elements had just been stabilized.
And this entire space was pressuring Lin Yun's body. Lin Yun's Fusion Shield was surrounded by chains, suppressing him along with the Fusion Shield.
Lin Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at the array formed by those chains. As the array was constructed, most of the chains within the array disappeared, and only the chains around him could still be seen.
Red, blue, yellow, and green. The materials used for each type of chain were materials that could only be produced in a pure elemental plane. It was the purest form of power, just like the purest elements. There were no deviations, and there were no special characteristics.
But this kind of pureness was the greatest characteristic. The chains forged from pure earth, fire, water, and wind power was the strongest elemental seal under the Heaven Rank. Moreover, the power of that elemental seal could keep increasing, and as long as the price was paid, it wouldn't be an issue to arrange a Heaven Rank seal.
During Noscent's peak, many terrifying criminals were either exiled to the void or imprisoned in prisons. And the prison's array was an elemental seal. It used the balance of earth, fire, water, and wind to construct a huge sealing power that made all the prisoners lose the ability to cast spells. They were even suppressed to the point where they couldn't move their pinky.
Many extremely dangerous prisoners had to be sealed and suppressed in a separate space with this kind of element.
Seeing that Lin Yun was suppressed to the point where he couldn't move, that dark mage took out a finger bone emitting sinister power and started chanting an incantation in a low voice.
A whisper full of temptation, malice, and coercion echoed in that space. It was as if a Devil was staring at Lin Yun with only a pair of eyes and kept using the Devil's Language to tempt him.
The Devil's Whisper was pervasive and lingered around Lin Yun, continuously looking for an opportunity to drill into Lin Yun's body.
That dark mage chanted for three minutes before suddenly stopping. He looked at the expressionless Lin Yun and took off his hat, revealing a pale face with some tattoos in Devil's Language.
Looking at Lin Yun's silhouette, the dark mage revealed a cruel smile.
"Mafa Merlin, don't blame anyone, you can only blame yourself for being too weak. What qualifications does a country bumpkin from Andalusia have to obtain such precious things? Whether it's the Raging Flame Plane's territory or the mysteries of truth runes, they aren't things a guy like you can possess.
"You should thank us for being merciful and not getting rid of you. This curse will only turn you into an idiot. Oh, you shouldn't be able to understand even if I tell you now, you are truly pitiful.
"Alright, I order you to hand over your copy of the mysteries of truth runes."
The dark mage floated in the air with a sinister smile. The four Heaven Mages holding the chains and controlling the Elemental Seal also took off their hats and relaxed smiles of victory could be seen on their faces.
"Sir is really careful, that guy is only a 9th Rank Archmage. No matter how powerful an Archmage is, he doesn't have Extraordinary Power."
"Isn't that right? Let alone him, even a 2nd Rank Heaven Mage would be suppressed by the Elemental Seal. Making us make a move is really thinking too highly of him."
"Hey, hurry up and get those things and leave this place. If the Starry Sky College finds out, we will have to pay a huge price. Those powerhouses aren't to be trifled with."
Moreover, the forty Archmages supporting the barrier had relaxed expressions. They clearly felt that this mission was too easy.
The dark mage calmly waited for Lin Yun to take out the copy, but after a few seconds, Lin Yun didn't react.
The dark mage frowned.
"Is it because the power of the Elemental Seal is too strong that this idiot can't move?"
One of the fire mages immediately shook his head.
"Impossible, we are only suppressing him. His shield is still active, how could he not be able to move a finger? Did your curse turn that idiot into an idiot?"
As the few of them quarreled, Lin Yun, who seemed to be in a daze, suddenly opened his mouth.
"Using chains as an Elemental Seal to create an array at the fastest speed is a pretty good idea. Four people can display the greatest effect. The pure elemental crystals used to construct the chains aren't that easy to obtain …"
Lin Yun glanced at the surrounding four-colored chains, and a four-colored radiance appeared on the surface of his body. The Law Power of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind simultaneously surged and instantly followed the path he had just broken, reverse-breaking that elemental seal. Without breaking the balance of the four elements, the berserk mana surged and forcibly took over all the chains.
The coordination of these four mages was very tacit, but no matter how tacit they were, they couldn't compare to Lin Yun, who had established his Law Foundation with the four Elemental Laws. Lin Yun's four Elemental Laws were absolutely balanced and didn't have a single flaw. Following the direction of the chains and forcibly plundering those chains, these four mages simply couldn't resist.
In less than a second, the surrounding elemental seal had completely dissipated, leaving only four four-colored chains that were at least a thousand meters long floating in the air.
One end of the chains was in Lin Yun's hand, while the other end had already struggled free from the hands of the four mages.
With a slight shake of his wrist, the chains rapidly shrank and ultimately turned into four one-meter-long crystal chains. Lin Yun casually threw the chains into his Spatial Ring and then looked at those startled mages with an ice-cold smile.
"Alright, I've already researched what I wanted to research, so let's focus on the main point. How do you want to die?"
His ice-cold words were like a cold wind blowing over. The four mages immediately took out their staves and started chanting incantations.
As for that dark mage, he was shocked.
"Impossible, impossible, I used the Devil's Middle Finger Bone, how could you resist the power of the curse?"
Lin Yun took out his Draconic Staff and the shield covering his body slowly dissipated. The Extraordinary Power fluctuations belonging to a Heaven Rank powerhouse appeared and his mana surged out like a fountain.
Sensing the powerful Extraordinary Power fluctuations, the dark mage immediately understood that his curse simply couldn't break through that kind of powerful Extraordinary Power. Lin Yun had already advanced to the Heaven Rank.
But it only took an instant for the dark mage to take out a black magic staff and sneer as he looked at Lin Yun.
"Mafa Merlin, I hadn't expected you to already advance to the Heaven Rank, but this is useless. Ordinary 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouses can't break this seal, you don't need to think about escaping.
"I'll give you a chance to live, hand over the secrets you copied regarding the truth runes and I can make the decision to let you live. Otherwise, we can only search through your corpse. Naturally, that's on the premise that you can leave a corpse behind …"
The dark mage raised his magic staff and dense darkness power surged. There were even Devil's Whispers lingering on the magic staff. The four Heaven Rank Elemental Mages surrounded Lin Yun, their magic staffs blossoming with glaring light, ready to release powerful Elemental Mages at any time.
The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Book of Mantras silently condensed next to Lin Yun. Anderfa condensed three heads that floated above the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, and one of them turned to look at Lin Yun.
"Merlin, hurry up and get rid of these idiots. Reina and Xiuban are about to advance to the Heaven Rank, you'd better keep an eye on them. Who knows if something will happen to them …"
Syudos' Wind Fire Elemental Spirit Incarnation floated above the Book of Mantras, calmly watching, apparently waiting for Lin Yun to give the order to attack.
Lin Yun had a serious expression and opened the Book of Death. He looked at the surrounding mages and solemnly asked, "I'll give you one chance.
"I'll give you a chance. Tell me who's behind this, and I'll give you a chance to live. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to ask your souls."
