Lin Yun unhesitantly flew back, a faint layer of light covering his body. A large amount of strange patterns also appeared on the surface of his body, and a rune emitting a rainbow-colored radiance appeared between his eyebrows. He instantly released his Elemental Spirit King Incarnation.
The Book of Ten Thousand Mantras and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel also appeared at this time. The Purple Dragon shadow behind him was hugging the wheel while an ancient bronze scales appeared under his feet. The Book of Ten Thousand Mantras and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel fell on both ends of the scales.
The huge Windfire Gate and the huge Spell Wheel emitting sparkling radiance appeared on both sides of Lin Yun's body.
The power of the Element Chapter and the All-Encompassing Chapter simultaneously buffed the Book of Death, and the two 7th Tier Spells stored in the Sage Chapter also disappeared from the surface of the Sage Chapter.
The 7th Tier Lava Shelter and the 7th Tier Archangel's Blessing became Ultimate Spells under the effect of the Sage Chapter. Their power could compare to 9th Tier Spells, and the characteristics of the spells were displayed to their pinnacle. This wasn't something an ordinary 9th Tier Spell could compare to.
Lava Shelter itself was a layer of revolving lava, and after the fusion of earth and fire spells, it was the strongest defensive 7th Tier Spell. After being promoted to an Ultimate Spell, not only did its pure defense become even stronger, but it also had terrifying heat.
As for the Archangel's Blessing, it was a rare defensive spell that could reduce the power of spells of the same rank by 90%. The power of spells was higher than the defensive ability of the Archangel's Blessing, and as long as it was within a rank, the Archangel's Blessing would burst out and reduce the power of all spells by half.
The characteristics of Ultimate Spells were displayed to their pinnacle. Spells of the same rank couldn't even think of breaking through the defenses of the Archangel's Blessing, and it could offset the destructive power of any spell of the same rank.
This was also why the only two 7th Tier Spells that could be stored in the Sage Chapter had been stored in defensive spells by Lin Yun.
But now, if there was a slot for a third 7th Tier Spell in the Sage Chapter, Lin Yun wished he could store another defensive spell.
Law Runic Bombs kept exploding towards the center of the smoke, and fierce explosions kept echoing. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Book of Mantras also burst with the strongest impact as they attacked the center of the smoke.
The countless buffs made Lin Yun's casting power reach its pinnacle. The berserk explosive power could absolutely suppress a powerhouse of the same realm to death. But Lin Yun could see that the rolling smoke didn't seem to be suppressed at all. Instead, the smoke was surging outwards, as if some terrifying power was surging out from within.
In less than a second, Lin Yun saw what it was. It was the source of that fatal crisis. A thousand-meter-long, dazzling silver steel hand rushed out of the smoke. Its frightening power contained an aura that far surpassed Wilder's, and a huge pressure pressed down on Lin Yun's body. It was as if it had locked onto Lin Yun and was aimed at him.
Lin Yun's expression turned gloomy when he saw that huge steel hand and felt that it was as vivid as a real person's hand.
He didn't need to think to know that this was the ancestor of the Rodney Family living in seclusion in the forbidden area. Only a powerhouse surpassing the 5th Rank of the Heaven realm could burst with such power from such a distance.
Lin Yun clenched his teeth and together with Syudos and Anderfa, he did his best to cast spells to resist that steel hand. The surrounding space had already been suppressed by that formidable power. Let alone using spatial mages to escape, even dodging was extremely difficult.
It was like the feeling of being suppressed by Extraordinary Power for the first time before reaching the Heaven Rank. No, it was even more terrifying than that!
It was as if the other side had only used 10% of its power, but that formidable power was able to suppress him and make him helplessly watch as he was slapped to death.
Lin Yun clenched his teeth, a wisp of shock flickering in his eyes.
'I'm at the 3rd Rank of the Heaven realm, there isn't much of a difference in strength between me and the 4th Rank of the Heaven realm. I was able to get rid of Wilder so easily because of the new spell. If it had been a normal battle, I might have needed at least an hour to defeat Wilder.
'But it was rumored that the Rodney Family's ancestor was only at the 5th Rank of the Heaven realm four hundred years ago. Even if he advanced now, he would at most be at the 6th Rank of the Heaven realm.
'I'm definitely stronger than most 4th Rank Heaven powerhouses. I'm only two ranks below the Rodney Family's ancestor, but how could the difference be so great?
'He was over a kilometer away, yet the power he released made me feel like I was in mortal danger. I would really die if I resisted that attack.'
Sensing that lifelike steel hand, Lin Yun once again roused the Origin Chapter and shrouded the surrounding two-kilometer area in pure darkness.
Lin Yun kept casting and kept retreating as if he was carrying a mountain on his back.
The world of pure darkness shielded everything that could leak out. Countless spellwaves were still flying out, but no one could sense where Lin Yun was.
However, this dark space with a diameter of 2,000 meters was nothing to the giant steel hand. As long as it aimed at this dark space and suppressed the surrounding several kilometers, it didn't matter where it hit in the end.
The steel hand resisted the countless spells and the impact of the flood. Although its power was continuously weakened, it wasn't weakened by much. It looked like a Mage Apprentice casting. The speed of the spells was very slow, but it was using some kind of irresistible power to keep moving forward. This kind of torture was even more frightening than being directly slapped to death.
As time slowly passed, Lin Yun's Demiplane Projection appeared above Lin Yun's head. The Law Power within the Demiplane frantically fluctuated and the Mana Lake's water transformed into a thick stream that rushed out of the Demiplane to replenish Lin Yun's consumption.
As the Demiplane's Law Projection appeared, the power of Lin Yun's casting increased once again. He was less than a kilometer away, yet he forcibly stalled that steel hand for seven to eight seconds.
And during these eight seconds, Lin Yun had already appeared at the edge of the darkness space.
At this time, he was completely unable to resist that steel hand falling down.
The huge steel hand ruthlessly slammed into the center of the darkness space. The darkness space created by the Chapter of Beginning was like a fragile bubble that instantly burst and dissipated. The Book of Death was shaken, and the page of the Chapter of Beginning shook before its light dimmed. It would take at least a few days before it could be used again.
Seeing that steel hand falling over four hundred meters away, Lin Yun immediately gave up on using offensive spells to stall for time. The steel hand had already been greatly weakened in these few seconds.
Shield spells appeared one after another, the earth bulged, and walls made of rocks appeared in front of Lin Yun, while Askrim Gates rose from the ground.
Anderfa's Elemental Storm also stopped and was replaced by a flood of defensive spells. The Windfire power spurting out of the gate controlled by Syudos converged into a solid Windfire Barrier in front of him.
In an instant, time seemed to have stopped. There was no sound as the terrifying power spread out and tore through Enderfa's flood of shields, as well as Syudos' Windfire Barrier, just like paper being torn to shreds.
Lin Yun released a large number of defensive spells, but they were all shattered in an instant. The spatial distortion in front of him was like an incomparably huge ripple attacking him.
The Archangel Blessing instantly dissipated, and an Archangel shadow emitting radiance appeared in front of Lin Yun. It collapsed into countless specks of light, and the power contained within instantly weakened the power of the attack by half.
The remaining power once again attacked the blazing Lava Shield. The flames were forcibly extinguished by the impact and the Lava Shield was forcibly solidified before being torn to pieces in an instant.
The remaining power attacked Lin Yun's Fusion Shield. In an instant, all the law runes on the surface of the Fusion Shield appeared and the mana consumption rate sharply increased by several dozen times, far surpassing the fastest speed Lin Yun could replenish his mana.
In less than an instant, the Fusion Shield exploded and transformed into countless law runes before dissipating.
Only a bit of the remaining power fiercely attacked Lin Yun's body. Countless runes shone on the surface of Lin Yun's robe and resisted for a moment. All the power attached to the robe was torn to shreds and the runes collapsed. The robe that was originally flowing with a layer of light thoroughly turned into a beggar's robe.
Lin Yun's body was sent flying, as if he had been hit by a Sword Saint's fist while he was defenseless.
After flying for a few dozen meters, Lin Yun controlled his body to stop.
His face was deathly pale, his robe had been thoroughly shredded, and a broken rib had pierced through his skin. Three of his bones had been broken, and his internal organs had also been injured.
He used mana to reattach the rib and then drank three Health Potions in a row. A rich aura of life appeared on Lin Yun's body and his pale face regained some color.
After coughing a mouthful of blood, Lin Yun bitterly smiled. If he hadn't upgraded his robe while verifying his understanding of the truth runes, even if the remaining power hadn't torn him to shreds, it would have shattered most of his bones and even his heart would have exploded.
It wasn't like now, he was only seriously injured. With a bit of recuperation and the effect of the Health Potions, his body would be fine in less than a day. But the impact just now made him unable to display even half of his strength for a few days. If not for his perfect foundation, his Magic Array would have exploded.
Lin Yun stood up and looked at his surroundings. This place had already been thoroughly changed. There was a several-hundred-meter-big palm print in front of him, and it was ten-meter-deep.
And the ground around the palm print didn't even crack. Because the power was too great, it was like a needle piercing tofu, it simply didn't affect the surroundings too much.
Everything within a few kilometers had been completely flattened by that terrifying impact. The terrain here was a dozen meters lower than a few kilometers away, and the earth had been scraped a dozen meters deep!
Wilder was nowhere to be seen, he should have been rescued in passing.
Since the Rodney Family's ancestor didn't kill him in one move, he definitely wouldn't let him return alive. Moreover, the other side definitely knew that he didn't get rid of him, so why didn't they attack him?
Just as Lin Yun was puzzled, he suddenly noticed a huge hole appearing in the distant azure sky, revealing a deep and serene void. But that hole disappeared in the blink of an eye.
That direction happened to be where the Rodney Family was located. Moreover, the hole was right above the Rodney Family's location.
Lin Yun remained silent for a bit before understanding that Agalon had personally made a move.
In the Rodney Family, Wilder, who had just been rescued, didn't even have the time to say a word before he saw a huge hole suddenly appear in the sky above him. Countless starlight sprinkled down, but it dissipated in an instant.
In the Rodney Family's forbidden area, in that barren steel vein, the Rodney Family's ancestor looked up with alarm.
The starlight converged to form a 1,000-meter-long, lifelike hand. Even the palm lines and hairs could be seen clearly. The hand did not seem to be emitting any power, but Ancestor Rodney's complexion became incomparably pale. It was as if a mountain was pressing down on his body, making him unable to straighten his back.
That huge hand looked exactly the same as the one he had used to deal with Lin Yun, but the power contained within it couldn't be compared to the one he had used to deal with.
The huge hand he released had a grand aura and looked very powerful, but that starlight hand didn't leak a single wisp of aura. All the power was pressuring his body, and unless he saw it with his own eyes, he simply wouldn't be able to sense it.
But the more it was like this, the more alarmed the Rodney Family became. He released a large amount of steel spells, which ultimately transformed into a huge steel cover covering him. Moreover, that steel cover kept getting thicker and thicker, and a hundred-meter-tall silver sphere rapidly appeared on the ground.
The starlight hand gently pressed on that silver sphere, and in an instant, the silver sphere shattered into fragments. The Rodney Family's body was lying on the ground, and it was covered in cracks.
The earth didn't shake in the slightest, but a thousand-meter-wide and ten-meter-deep handprint appeared on the ground. The Rodney Family was at the center of the handprint, and his entire body had turned a silvery-white metallic color, but it was covered in cracks.
The giant starlight hand dissipated, and Ancestor Rodney struggled to crawl to his feet. His face was pale, and his steel body had almost collapsed. His body was covered in cracks, and even his internal organs were covered in cracks. It was as if he had broken into a dozen pieces.
After coughing out a mouthful of mercury-like blood, the Rodney Family promptly swallowed a few healing potions.
"Stay here for a hundred years and concentrate on comprehending the Laws."
A cold voice echoed in Ancestor Rodney's ears. Ancestor Rodney's hand trembled and the potion fell to the ground. Then, ignoring his injuries, he hurriedly got up and bowed towards the distance.
"I will solemnly obey your teachings, Sir Astrologer."
But the Rodney Family could no longer hear anything. But the Rodney Family didn't dare to be careless. As a 6th Rank Heaven powerhouse, he was actually sweating profusely. He maintained that posture for no less than three minutes before slowly straightening his waist. But the alarm on his face didn't fade.
'It's too frightening. The strength of a Great Astrologer is actually this strong. His control of power is exquisite to the extreme. Even if I try my best to resist his power, it will just be enough to seriously injure me, but not kill me …'
'He told me not to leave this place for a hundred years and that I couldn't get involved in anything outside of this place, so I could only listen. Too frightening, it is said that the Astrologer has already reached the peak of the Heaven Rank. It's definitely true, no, he might have already taken that step …'
After taking a few bottles of Heaven Grade Potions, the Rodney Family calmed down and summoned Wilder, whose right shoulder and right arm had disappeared.
Wilder trembled with fear as he looked at the huge palm print in the forbidden area. His expression suddenly changed as he thought of something. But before he could say a word, Ancestor Rodney came over and slapped him.
"Idiot, I made you take charge of the Rodney Family to gain experience and learn how to deal with the Family's matters. I didn't want you to casually provoke a disaster.
"You want to learn from those good-for-nothing nobles and duel like those idiots? You idiot, are you trying to kill me? You want the Rodney Family to be buried with you before you'll be satisfied!"
The Rodney Family rained curses on Wilder's face and even ruthlessly slapped Wilder a few times. Wilder felt wronged, but only fear remained. He didn't dare to retort, even if his first task as Patriarch was to get rid of the Gilded Rose as arranged by the Rodney Family.
Looking at his ancestor's body, which was full of cracks and looked like a porcelain that was on the verge of breaking, Wilder was full of fear. To be able to leave such a huge handprint in the forbidden area without anyone being able to sense it, apart from the aloof Astral Warlock Sir, who else could it be?
After slapping Wilder a few times and scolding him, Ancestor Rodney's face finally showed a trace of fatigue.
"Wilder, I'm doing this for your own good. I survived this time not because Sir Astrologer was lenient, but because Mafa Merlin is still alive. That's why Sir Astrologer stood up for him. I attacked, and Sir Astrologer did the same for him.
"I won't be able to leave this place within a hundred years. If you encounter this kind of crisis again, I won't be able to save you. You have to understand that some people can't be provoked. No, don't even touch them. If nothing unexpected happens, that Mafa Merlin is definitely Sir Astrologer's disciple …
"Take care of your body and your destroyed arm will slowly recover. Remember, if you provoke Mafa Merlin again, don't blame anyone when you die!"
Wilder came out of the forbidden area in a daze. He had already been scared silly, and his mind was blank. He only remembered one thing, 'Don't provoke Mafa Merlin …'
