"Sir, Sir, we should hurry up and run, this is an ancient magic beast close to the Heaven Rank …" The Draconic Beastman's voice was trembling. Although the pitiful knowledge he had inherited from the Highland Beastmen was far from enough to let Xiuban know whether the Orachiss was round or flat …
But the instinct from the depths of his bloodline made the Draconic Beastman's hair stand on end. He didn't need to know what kind of lifeform it was, nor did he need to know how powerful it was.
That aura mixed with the smell of sulfur was like a poison to Xiuban, who had both a Beastman and a Draconic bloodline. Just the smell alone made the Draconic Beastman's soul fly away. If not for Lin Yun's prestige, this cowardly Draconic Beastman might have already fled when he smelled that aura.
Orachiss, the offspring of an Ash Python and an Abyssal Demon, one of the 72 Demon Gods, the mount of the Blood King Moradin. It was hardly an exaggeration to say that regardless of the era, it was a lifeform that stood at the peak of Noscent.
Facing such a terrifying beast that stood at the peak of Noscent, let alone a Peak 9th Rank Expert Swordsman like Xiuban, even Suval, Weiss, Rhett, and the other powerhouses that had been addressed as "Sir" instantly paled.
Too frightening …
That kind of terrifying pressure wasn't something mortals could endure, especially that wisp of Extraordinary Aura. It made everyone feel as if they couldn't resist it. These Archmages were at least at the Mid-Rank, powerhouses with formidable magic power, but for the first time, they felt powerless in front of that terrifying beast. They felt as helpless and hesitant as newborns.
"How could this be, how could this be …" Suval's face instantly turned deathly pale. Looking at that huge burning body, that Mid-Rank Archmage's face had already lost its usual arrogance and indifference, replaced with unconcealable panic. "Wasn't the last Orachiss killed by Emperor Zhantui and the Gaugass King in the 3rd Dynasty?"
"Shit, there must be a problem …" Rhett's voice was filled with panic.
"High Mage Merlin, look …" In contrast, Weiss was relatively calm, but it was only relative. This Representative's forehead was also covered in sweat.
"They are right, the last Orachiss was indeed killed by Emperor Zhantui and the Gaugass King during the 3rd Dynasty …" Lin Yun was very certain of this. The two powerhouses joining hands to kill the last Orachiss and thoroughly exterminate this ancient vicious beast had already become a legend in Noscent. In the past few millennia, no Orachiss had appeared in Noscent.
Tens of thousands of years later, mages standing at the peak of magic would personally capture Ash Pythons and Abyssal Demons, artificially raising the first Orachiss. But that was a matter of the future.
"Then why is that?" Whis' expression froze, and he looked at the Orachiss with a gaze full of doubt.
"Because …" At this time, Zeuss suddenly opened his mouth, a gloomy smile on his face. "This world is still before the 3rd Dynasty …"
"Ah?"
Zeuss' answer was out of the blue. Apart from Lin Yun and Falton, everyone else was baffled.
What did he mean by 'before the 3rd Dynasty'?
"You still don't understand?" Falton's voice came from the shade of the tree. "This is a world that transcends the river of time. Everything here is still in the Mythical Era …"
As Falton said that, he pointed at the surrounding forest. "Do you see? The grass and trees here are completely different from Noscent. The animals here are incomparably fierce, and the plants here are incomparably huge. In comparison, the animals and plants of Noscent look like they haven't even started developing. Why do you think that's because?"
"But …"
Just as Weiss opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Falton. "Do you want to say that this is all because of this plane's special environment?"
"Yes … Yes, Sir Falton."
"It looks like the Black Tower's research of the Golden Era has been stagnant these past few years …" This Archmage from the Holy Land of the Black Tower shook his head with regret. "The Golden Era is the Golden Era because it was an era with endless possibilities. It could be said to be a perfect era. Whether it was Noscent or any other plane, the upper limit of power they could contain was far greater than any other era. Think about it, the Black Tower currently occupies nine planes. Doesn't every plane have its own upper limit? The weakest among them can't even accommodate an Archmage. Powerhouses of that level can't even pass through the Planar Path. Even if they happen to enter a plane by chance, it would only lead to the collapse of the Planar Law, bringing destruction to the entire plane …"
"The Golden Era wasn't like this …" As if he didn't see the Orachiss in the distance, Falton spoke with a tone full of longing. "In that era, Gods walked the earth, and countless powerful races prospered. Among them, there were many whose power far surpassed that of the Orachiss. You can imagine what it would be like in the current Noscent."
"That …" Weiss paled. There was no need to think about it. Let alone Gods walking the earth, just the countless lifeforms far stronger than the Orachiss would be enough to destroy the current Noscent a hundred times over.
"Thus, in the past millennium, the Holy Land has always held a view that Noscent experienced a huge change after the Golden Era. That change changed Noscent's Laws, leading to all of this. Unfortunately, there are too few traces of that change in history. The Holy Land can only rely on conjectures to determine that this might be related to that God Burial Calamity …"
"But this and the Orachiss …"
"You still don't understand? Look at this forest, these plants, these animals, all of them should only have appeared in the Golden Era. Only in that era where the upper limit of power far surpassed the current era could such a miracle of life be born. Also, think about the Hydra we encountered before. Is that a creature that should have appeared in an ordinary plane? In layman terms, the place we are in now is an ancient plane that has been stagnated in the Golden Era. The Orachiss is only the beginning. It's not impossible for us to meet even more powerful lifeforms … "
"Heavens …" Falton's words silenced the forest. Everyone couldn't react. An ancient plane that had been stagnated in the Golden Era … What kind of concept was that? This meant that all the terrifying lifeforms that had appeared in the Golden Era could appear in this place.
Perhaps … perhaps even an Ancient Fiendgod!
This already surpassed the limits of everyone's imagination …
"What should we do? What should we do …" Suval was completely speechless. This Mid Rank Archmage could be said to be a powerhouse in Noscent, but in this ancient plane that had been stagnated in the Golden Era, he wasn't much stronger than an ordinary person.
A level 38 Hydra and an Orachiss infinitely close to the Heaven Rank … This was like a myth to Suval.
Especially the Orachiss that was right in front of him …
That was a terrifying lifeform infinitely close to the Heaven Rank …
What kind of concept was infinitely close to the Heaven Rank?
It was equivalent to Joy or Hören coming in person.
An existence of that level … Just standing there was enough to scare Suval crazy.
"Do it!" Lin Yun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said. This was the best method Lin Yun could come up with.
Although this team had peak powerhouses like Falton and Zeuss, as well as Reina and the puppet, as well as Lin Yun, who was rousing the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and Draconic Staff with all his strength, they had five powerhouses above level 38. But this kind of power wasn't enough to face an Orachiss infinitely close to the Heaven Rank.
Nothing could be done about it …
Once they reached the Orachiss' level, they would have a wisp of Extraordinary Power, just like Joy and Hören. That was the dividing line between peak powerhouses and ordinary powerhouses. In front of Extraordinary Power, the power of ordinary powerhouses could only be described as laughable. That wasn't a power that mortals could contend against. Even ten Lin Yun together wouldn't be able to last ten seconds in front of Joy. This was the terror of Extraordinary Power.
The so-called Extraordinary referred to transcending the mortal world and standing above it!
Fortunately …
The only thing worth rejoicing over was that this terrifying lifeform with Extraordinary Power was the offspring of an Ash Python and an Abyssal Demon, an Orachiss.
This was everyone's only opportunity.
However, the existence of this opportunity wasn't known to everyone …
"Fuck, attack? Mafa Merlin, don't give random orders. This isn't your Merlin Family's Flame Demon Fort, nor is it your palm-sized Thousand Sails City. Open your eyes and look, this is an Orachiss! Its power is a hundred times more frightening than you can imagine! How can we rush over with just a few people? Rush over and become dinner for it? "
Like Suval …
That Mid Rank High Mage, who had already been scared out of his wits, had completely lost his usual demeanor. Hearing Lin Yun say that they were going to rush over, Suval almost jumped up on the spot. He pointed at Lin Yun, trembling from fear and anger.
