Chapter 1296: No Next Time

The dragon corpse had no intention to dodge the light net woven by the mana cannons at all, and instead collided with it using its strong physical body. Clearly, according to the instinctive judgment of the dragon corpse, the magic spells that Lin Li cast behind him were far more threatening than the light of the cannons.

Although the light of the mana cannons could not really hurt the dragon corpse, its might had indeed made the dragon corpse stagnate a little. Behind the dragon corpse, the Helios’ Scepter that Lin Li was holding immediately flashed with a ray of light, and the frosty wave was immediately divided into countless bands of light that wound towards the huge dragon corpse.

At the same time, those particles composed of runes in the gigantic frosty wave changed too. They condensed into several mageweaths, and it looked as if each band of light was a mageweath array composed of countless mageweaths. This was no longer the power of magic or even simple nomological power, but a mysterious power that seemed to be close to the Divine-realm.

After all, the dragon corpse was no longer the actual Dragon of Destruction. Apart from its strong physical body and combat instincts, its competency in magic was, in fact, inferior to that of a mage apprentice. The power exerted by Lin Li was so overwhelmingly massive that even the great demon deity Mosari couldn’t resist it, let alone a dragon corpse that only had its basic physical instincts left.

The almost infinite magic runes instantly engulfed the dragon corpse, and were deeply imprinted onto every single cell of its body.. The dragon corpse instinctively resisted the invasion of the magic runes, and began rolling and roaring into the sky like it had gone bonkers. The power that emerged from its body spread in all directions like a storm, but as more and more magic runes invaded the corpse, the power that the dragon corpse exerted became weaker and weaker.

The Dragon of Destruction’s corpse, which was now bound and restrained by the magic runes, almost turned into a silvery-white wyrm. It gradually lost its power to struggle, and began drifting towards the Tower of Dusk involuntarily. From afar, it looked like a large white cloud that was slowly drifting in midair.

Seeing this, the people on the battleships finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a peculiar feeling arose in their hearts. When setting off, they were all a bit nervous because they were facing a powerful dragon corpse, after all. However, no one expected that the powerful dragon corpse would be so helpless in front of their president, Lin Li.

Although the people of the Tower of Dusk had almost blind trust in Lin Li’s strength, and thought that no enemy would be a match for him, it would still be a battle after all. Thus, no one expected the battle to end before it even began.

However, at this juncture, the dark clouds in the sky which seemed to have solidified suddenly came to life again as they started moving. Immediately afterwards, a huge vortex emerged in the middle of the clouds like a palm that seemed to be piercing straight through the endless void and towards the dragon corpse below.

“Hmph!”

Seeing this situation, Lin Li’s expression did not change in the slightest, and he merely humphed coldly before turning to look at the void deep within the vortex.

As Lin Li humphed, the giant palm that grabbed at the dragon corpse was suddenly fixed in space like it was being roasted in flames. Masses of black gas spread from the giant hand and claws, which had now begun to become illusory and warped after a large amount of black gas was dispersed.

Lin Li raised his hand, on which he was wearing the Ring of Endless Storm, and pointed it at the floating dragon corpse. A gigantic six-pointed star array appeared in mid-air below the dragon corpse, and gradually enveloped the dragon corpse. In the blink of an eye, the massive dragon corpse disappeared in mid-air without a trace.

After putting away the dragon corpse, Lin Li rubbed the Ring of Endless Storm on his hand while looking at the void in the distance. He coldly said, “Nefa, on the account that we have once fought together, I won’t hold it against you this time, but don’t do this again.”

Under the vortex in the center of that dark cloud in the sky, a figure also emerged together with the disappearance of the giant claws. The figure was dressed in a black robe, and had an evil look on his face. His pupils were as dark and deep as the endless void. It was the black dragon, Nefa, who was supposed to be in the rift of the Eternal Darkness Altar.

At this moment, Nefa seemed to be a bit wretched, and his eyes were full of shock when he looked at Lin Li. He didn’t expect that the human Lin Li, who was still weak in the rift back then, would actually have such a terrifying strength in a few years’ time.

Back in the rift of the Eternal Darkness Altar, Lin Li, Nefa, and High Priest Rogge of the Darkness Shrine worked together to fight against Flame Dragon Lothar. However, the main forces were the Sanctuary powerhouse Nefa and Rogge, while Lin Li’s strength was almost insignificant. It was not an exaggeration to say that it wouldn’t take Nefa much effort to kill Lin Li if he wanted to.

Only a few years had passed, but Nefa could feel a terrifying wave of power that made his soul tremble from Lin Li’s body. He even compared the current Lin Li with the demigod Flame Dragon Lothar. It turned out that Lin Li was stronger.

Just when Nefa was shocked by the power Lin Li had displayed, a violent roar was suddenly heard in the distance. With that roar, the dark clouds in the sky were split in half by a flying line. There was a figure flying at the front like a bolt of lightning.

“Tutankhamun.” Before the figure came close, Nefa had already recognized his identity. It was his brother, Tutankhamun. He glanced at Lin Li helplessly, and did not dare to say anything. Instead, he turned around and transformed into a ray of black light that darted into the vortex above his head.

Nefa had been hiding in the large rift in the Eternal Darkness Altar. On the one hand, it was because he had fallen for Geresco’s trick, and on the other hand, it was because Tutankhamun was outside. Although the two of them were considered brothers, and their strength was considered to be on par with each other, Tutankhamun knew of some methods to suppress Nefa’s power which were left behind by Geresco.

This time, Nefa felt the breath of the Dragon of Destruction, and was brave enough to emerge from the crack in hopes that he could beat Tutankhamun to get the lineage of the Dragon of Destruction. Unfortunately, he never expected to meet Lin Li here. Moreover, Lin Li now possessed a massive power that greatly frightened him.

Nefa’s figure disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, while Tutankhamun, who had rushed all the way from the faraway Blackstone Mountains, finally arrived in the sky above Cage Island. Tutankhamun wanted to continue chasing Nefa until he expelled him into the spacetime rift, but he didn’t expect to meet Lin Li here.

“Felic?” Tutankhamun suddenly felt a little scared to acknowledge Lin Li’s presence. Back in the Blackstone Mountains, Lin Li was still just an Archmage, but he didn’t expect Lin Li to have become so strong that he could no longer see through him within just a few years.

Although Tutankhamun also knew that Lin Li’s strength would definitely increase rapidly after obtaining Geresco’s Book of Eternity, he didn’t expect the speed to be so astonishing. After all, reaching the Sanctuary-realm was worlds apart from reaching the peak of the Sanctuary-realm.

Seeing that Tutankhamun was right in front of him, and was looking at him in disbelief, Lin Li nodded with a smile, and said, “It’s been a long time since we met, Master Tutankhamun.”

Now, Lin Li was already certain that the three belongings of Geresco that Tutankhamun had given him actually had very little to do with any test, but rather it was just Geresco’s deliberate arrangement. However, at the beginning, Tutankhamun was rather nice to Lin Li, even though he was already a Sanctuary powerhouse, while Lin Li was only an Archmage at that time.

At this time, Tutankhamun had also confirmed Lin Li’s identity, and the look of surprise on his face became more and more exaggerated. He sized Lin Li up for a long time before exclaiming in shock, “It’s really you, Felic, I didn’t expect you to have reached such a high level. The person Geresco chose is really not simple!”

Lin Li smiled without saying anything regarding this matter. Instead, he said, “I’ve already given Nefa a warning, and he should have returned to the spacetime rift by now. You don’t have to go look for him again.”

Lin Li once thought that he might have been lucky to have been chosen by Geresco, but after discovering some secrets, he felt like he had been used as a pawn. Lin Li hated that feeling. Well, no one liked being treated like a pawn, even if it was a very important pawn.

At Lin Li’s invitation, Tutankhamun came to the fleet’s flagship. While the fleet was returning, the two talked about some issues of the Sanctuary-realm and the Dragon of Destruction. When the fleet entered the port, Tutankhamun finally said goodbye, and left to return to the Blackstone Mountains.

Through the exchange with Tutankhamun, Lin Li learned that there was actually nothing under the Blackstone Mountains at all. The main reason that Tutankhamun was guarding the Blackstone Mountains was because he had been waiting to hand over the Book of Eternity and the other items to Lin Li as per the agreement that he had made with Geresco.

Nefa thought that Tutankhamun was guarding the Dragon of Destruction in the Blackstone Mountains simply because it was once the place where the Dragon of Destruction rested. However, after the Immortal King had completely killed the Dragon of Destruction and sealed it on Cage Island, there was nothing left under the Blackstone Mountains.

After sending Tutankhamun away, Lin Li opened a spatial rift, took the mages of the Tower of Dusk with him, and returned directly to the Sky Castle.

After returning to the Sky Castle, Lin Li released the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction from the Ring of Endless Storm. However, the body of the Dragon of Destruction was enormous and not any worse than the Sky Castle. If he were to really place the dragon corpse into the Sky Castle, it would probably crush many buildings. Thus, Lin Li used some means to make the large dragon corpse float in the sky above the Sky Castle, making it part of the scenery of the Sky Castle.

Afterwards, Lin Li called Gavin and the others to come over again. He then informed them of the next transformation plan for the Sky Castle.

At this moment, Gavin and the others finally knew why the Sky Castle still looked like a half-finished product. It turned out that there was really a very important step that was missing.

“Here’s the next transformation plan for the Sky Castle. Next, I have to enter the Meditation Land for a while, so I’ll leave the transformation of this Sky Castle to you.” After handing over the transformation plan of the Sky Castle, Lin Li got ready to enter the Meditation Land again to continue working on becoming stronger.

However, after hearing Lin Li say that he would have to enter the Meditation Land again, Gavin and the others couldn’t help but get a little anxious as he frantically said, “President Felic, this dragon corpse is so powerful. With our current abilities, it would be a waste if we don’t handle this matter well.”

Indeed, just like Gavin said, this dragon corpse was not only a dragon corpse, but also the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction. Thus, when processing the corpse, they had to treat even the scales carefully, and they couldn’t deal with the dragon corpse as they would with an ordinary dragon corpse. Even if it was barely processed, it couldn’t be used to the fullest of its value.

Lin Li had naturally considered that question before. Even though he now had two corpses of the Dragon of Destruction, he couldn’t waste it.

Hence, after Gavin and the others worriedly raised their questions, Lin Li softly chanted a few incantations under his breath with a faint smile on his face. Before Gavin and the others could hear what Lin Li said, they saw a flash of light on Lin Li’s body. To their surprise, a figure around him that looked exactly like him appeared.

That was a manifestation method which was similar to the Lord of Darkness, the projection of the Dragon of Destruction in the abyss, as well as the manifestations of the Immortal King and Geresco. Creating manifestations was not really that profound, as it was a method that even ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses could use.

However, the power exerted by the manifestation was dependent on the power of the main body. The manifestation had as much power as there was in the main body. For ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses, a strong manifestation would affect the power of the main body, but if it was too weak, it would almost be useless. Hence, very few people would create manifestations of themselves.

Lin Li didn’t use too much of his mana on the manifestation, and had mainly just replicated his knowledge. What Lin Li wanted was a double that could substitute him as a commander after he entered the Meditation Land, and use the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction to transform the Sky Castle. Thus, the manifestation was at best at the level of an Archmage who had barely any combat ability.

Of course, although it was only at the Archmage-level, the knowledge in its head was just as big as that of Lin Li. With Lin Li’s attainment in the field of inscription, it would be easy for it to deal with one or two Legendary powerhouses even if it was only at the level of an Archmage.

After leaving the manifestation, Lin Li returned to the Meditation Land again, and though he knew that accumulating more mana would not allow him to ascend directly to the Divine-realm, there was no harm in accumulating more mana.

Under the guidance of Lin Li’s manifestation, the transformation project of the Sky Castle began again.

Firstly, the blood of the Dragon of Destruction was used to fill the Conquering Mageweath of the Sky Castle, allowing the effects of the mageweath to be maximized.
