That was definitely the power of a peak Archmage.
Lin Yun didn't dare to be careless and directly cast an Ice Wall.
But Kane was too fast. Before Lin Yun's Ice Wall could take shape, a raging flame had already reached Lin Yun's eyes. Only an explosion could be heard as the Ice Wall exploded. Ice fragments splashed out, but Kane's speed didn't slow down in the slightest due to his Elemental Incarnation state. With raging flames, he heavily crashed into Lin Yun's body.
In that split second, Lin Yun only had time to cast Ice Armor before a muffled sound echoed. In that split second, Lin Yun felt as if he had been hit by a meteor as he was sent flying.
After flying a few dozen meters, Lin Yun landed on the ground with a loud bang.
As he lay on the ground, Lin Yun felt as if every bone in his body had been shattered, and his internal organs were like a pot of boiling water, fiercely churning. Lin Yun struggled to stand up, but just as he moved, he felt a tightness in his chest, followed by a "pfff" sound as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Lin Yun reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. His face was frighteningly pale, but strangely, Lin Yun was actually smiling in that state.
'Turns out it was like this …'
At this time, Lin Yun finally understood.
Why did Kane say to give him a fair fight?
After all, the power Kane had displayed was definitely at the peak of the Archmage realm. That Elemental Incarnation wasn't something a 5th Rank Great Mage's Ice Armor could withstand.
But Lin Yun withstood it …
No, this wasn't Kane being lenient.
It was just like what Kane had said, he had a chance to have a fair fight.
In fact, when that Ice Armor appeared, Lin Yun had already felt that the mana he had released was far beyond the level of a 5th Rank Great Mage. It was a hundredfold, a thousandfold increase. But everything had happened too fast, and Lin Yun hadn't had time to react before being sent flying by that raging flame.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Lin Yun finally realized what had happened.
Indeed, this was the fair fight Kane was talking about.
In this world created by the Book of Death, he already had the power of an Archmage!
"Human, you are truly overestimating yourself …" Kane, who was in his Elemental Incarnation state, was burning with raging flames. His voice was filled with ridicule and disappointment.
"Haha, don't you think it's too early to say these words?" Lin Yun stood up from the ground, looking at Kane with boundless confidence.
"Good, let me see what skills you have!"
Just as Kane's voice fell, the raging flames on his body rose up. He only took one step forward, but the Flame Path had already reached Lin Yun's feet. With a glance, everything within a kilometer turned into a sea of flames. Moreover, Kane was still chanting a long incantation. Then, Lin Yun felt the earth shake as the black wasteland under his feet fiercely split open.
In a flash, only thick smoke and raging flames could be seen. The earth was flowing with lava, and the sky was covered in black smoke. An erupting volcano had actually been summoned by Kane!
"Day of Destruction!" Lin Yun was suddenly startled. This Kane was truly powerful, he was actually able to use a legendary 8th Tier Spell just like that.
At this time, he couldn't care about leaving Elemental Incarnation to protect himself. He directly chanted an incantation and turned into a ball of raging flames, wanting to use the sea of flames under his feet to escape with Flame Flash.
But just as he was about to cast Flame Flash, Lin Yun suddenly realized that something was wrong.
As an 8th Tier Spell, Day of Destruction was already close to the Extraordinary realm. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it could destroy heaven and earth. Any ordinary mage would immediately choose to escape when facing Day of Destruction.
Almost every mage would choose to use Flame Flash under the Elemental Incarnation state, and the boundless sea of flames brought by the Flame Path would naturally become their only path of retreat.
It was truly a matter of course …
The problem was, what was behind this matter of course?
Kane was the Incarnation of the Book of Death, how could he make such a low-level mistake? First, he used the Flame Path to create a boundless sea of flames, and then he used Day of Destruction, an 8th Tier Spell that could display its greatest power in a sealed space. This was clearly telling others, 'Come, come, come to my bowl …'
"Damn, too crafty …"
After angrily cursing, Lin Yun forcibly scattered the elemental arrangement of Flame Flash. He didn't retreat, but instead advanced, relying on the shocking speed of Elemental Incarnation to climb to the top of the erupting volcano.
"Hmm?" Lin Yun's unexpected action made Kane freeze, but then, he once again increased the mana output of Day of Destruction. Burning boulders tumbled and lava surged. The entire black wasteland looked as if it was the end of the world.
At this time, Lin Yun was climbing to the top of the volcano at a shocking speed. The Elemental Incarnation of the Archmage realm was completely different from the Elemental Incarnation of the Great Mage realm. Lin Yun had already turned into a Flame Spirit, and he looked just like a flaming bolt of lightning.
The entire world seemed to be swaying. Thick smoke covered the sky like black clouds, and the raging flames almost ignited the entire sky. Burning boulders were tumbling everywhere, brushing against Lin Yun's body a few times. The surging lava was flowing down the mountain, and Lin Yun felt as if he was walking on a steel wire. If he wasn't careful, he would lose his footing and fall into the abyss.
But Lin Yun didn't have the slightest intention of retreating.
He was like a fire elf, and he managed to find cracks in the magma that flowed everywhere and the giant rocks that fell from the sky. He climbed to the top of the volcano at an astonishing speed.
Because Lin Yun knew that this was his only opportunity.
Kane's Day of Destruction had sealed off almost all of his escape routes. Flame Flash, Space Folding, Flight, Ground Movement, and all of the techniques below the Transcendent Realm had been included in Kane's calculations. It could be said that Kane had prepared for every conventional response he could make. As long as he moved, he would immediately fall into Kane's trap.
This was the frightening part of the Book of Death.
Lin Yun clearly remembered that in his later years, Bane would write in his diary that his greatest regret was that he hadn't been able to see through the true secrets of the Book of Death. It was because Bane always felt that the complete form of the Book of Death was most likely one of the first two books when the world was born, the Book of Ten Thousand Spells that recorded all spells in the world.
Naturally, the current Book of Death was far from its complete form.
Let alone its complete form, it was still far from the Book of Death that Bane had obtained a few millennia later. Otherwise, Kane wouldn't be displaying the power of a peak Archmage, he would be displaying the power of the Extraordinary realm.
However, Bain's guess was actually very reasonable …
It was clear from the current Kane. Although he was only the Incarnation of the Book of Death, what he displayed in this battle was terrifying. Just an Elemental Incarnation, a Flame Path, and a Day of Destruction were enough to form an unsolvable trap.
This wasn't an ability that an ordinary mage should have.
Even Lin Yun, who came from the end of the magic era, didn't have this kind of ability. Indeed, Lin Yun had incomparably advanced magic knowledge and had casting abilities that surpassed ordinary people, but in the end, Lin Yun was only an ordinary human, he wasn't an ice-cold machine. As long as one was an ordinary human, they would make mistakes and be negligent. They would never be like Kane, calculating every detail and every possibility before constructing a perfect trap.
But it didn't matter if he wasn't good at construction, as long as he was good at destruction, that would be enough.
Lin Yun dodged the falling rocks and stepped on the cracks of the flowing lava. He was like a burning lightning bolt as he forcibly stood on the crater of the erupting volcano. This was the place where the power of the Day of Destruction was the most terrifying. All the fire elements were converging in this area, and every eruption had the power of a 6th Tier Spell. The terrifying temperature was enough to melt steel in an instant, and the pitch-black poisonous fog filled the air. Even Dragons couldn't resist it.
The reason Lin Yun was standing there was completely because of his Elemental Incarnation.
The Elemental Incarnation of a peak Archmage was already a true Elemental Spirit. Although it couldn't resist the frightening power of the Day of Destruction, it still had some immunity to the high temperature and poisonous fog.
Naturally, it wouldn't take long.
Maybe ten seconds, maybe a few seconds …
In short, if Lin Yun couldn't settle everything in this time, then there would be no need for Kane to make a move. Just the high temperature and poisonous fog would be enough to make Lin Yun stay in this black wasteland forever.
