Another World's Versatile Crafting Master

Chapter 1147: Ice Phoenix

Chapter 1147: Ice Phoenix


Hearing these words, High Priest Poer stopped persuading them despite his reluctance. However, he was not entirely disappointed, because Saint Edmund mentioned talking about those issues at a later time, not dropping it entirely. As long as Saint Edmund was willing to deal with the Tower of Dusk, it would be a piece of cake to get rid of them.


After a while, the Tower of Dusk’s team finally ended the battle. Although there were no casualties among the mages, they were clearly exhausted. However, before High Priest Poer could come up with any ideas, the mages of the Tower of Dusk had already each taken out a potion and drunk it. Immediately afterwards, the mages’ mana and mental strength recovered quickly.


This time, the people of the Gilded Kingdom were shocked again. Although they had also prepared a lot of high-level potions for the exploration this time, they were still astonished after seeing the magical effect of the potions. It wasn’t that they had never seen potions with such miraculous effects before, but rather that they knew that those that could produce such effects were usually Master-level potions.


Master-level potions were definitely rare and highly valued in all parts of the world. However, the mages of the Tower of Dusk actually downed them like water! Seeing such a scene, the people on the side of Gilded Kingdom were green with envy, wishing they could s.n.a.t.c.h those empty potion bottles, and see if they could acc.u.mulate the residue into a bottle of potion.


Of course, Saint Edmund and the other two Sanctuary powerhouses had better composure, though they were still secretly amazed by the Tower of Dusk’s lavish habits. Potions with instant mana recovery effects were generally used to save lives, and were often used as a trump card that would be pulled only during the most critical juncture. The mages of the Tower of Dusk could obviously recover well after some rest, and yet they each wasted such a precious potion for the sake of restoring themselves to the best state. Such wastrels!


When the team of the Tower of Dusk finished cleaning up the battlefield, the people of the Gilded Kingdom began seeing them as nouveaux riches. The people of the Gilded Kingdom couldn’t understand it at all. Was there a need to use such expensive potions for such a trivial battle?


However, Lin Li was very satisfied with the battle just now. The rookie mages were very talented in the first place, and had excellent theoretical knowledge too. After several true battles, they soon got into battle mode. Although their performance had yet to be comparable to that of the mages Lin Li had brought to the Sky Castle, he believed that they would definitely become the elites of the Tower of Dusk after experiencing a few more battles and honing their skills.


In the process of traveling towards the center of this ominous island, the two teams—from the Gilded Kingdom and the Tower of Dusk, respectively—encountered several more attacks from the ice elemental lifeforms. The closer they got to the center of the ice island, the more powerful the ice elemental lifeforms became. Besides, there were many that were near the Sanctuary-realm.


The team of the Gilded Kingdom basically dealt with them, and finished the battle quickly without much painstaking efforts, especially since they had the help of the Sanctuary powerhouse, High Priest Poer. On the other side, the Tower of Dusk’s team often caused a long delay in the battle because of Lin Li’s plan for honing their skills.


Afterwards, the mages of the Tower of Dusk clearly could have ended the battle sooner, but Lin Li instructed them to switch to a new combat method, causing the battle’s duration to be prolonged again.


The members of the Gilded Kingdom were naturally quite displeased with the Tower of Dusk’s procrastination, especially High Priest Poer who disliked the people of the Tower of Dusk in the first place. However, regardless of their interventions or mockery, Lin Li remained unfazed, and continued doing what he wanted to.


Facing the interventions of the Gilded Kingdom’s team, Lin Li’s response was simple. While watching his subordinates fight, he nonchalantly answered, “If you’re in a rush, you don’t have to wait for us. It doesn’t matter, we can find our way there ourselves.”


Lin Li obviously understood what the people of the Gilded Kingdom were planning to do. They undoubtedly wanted to make the Tower of Dusk’s team cannon fodder. In particular, in the current situation, the members of the Gilded Kingdom knew more about this ice island as compared to them. Hence, the Gilded Kingdom obviously had such plans.


However, Lin Li clearly had the same idea too.


Upon receiving that response from Lin Li, High Priest Poer almost vomited blood in exasperation. However, there was no way for him to flare up, because Saint Edmund had already told him to simmer down in advance. In a moment of helplessness, the members of the Gilded Kingdom had no choice but to end the battle and wait for the Tower of Dusk’s team.


Of course, High Priest Poer had also tried to help the Tower of Dusk deal with the enemies. Although it seemed to be holding themselves cheap by helping their rival get rid of the enemy, the thought of ruining Lin Li’s plan to train his subordinates balanced it out.


However, as soon as High Priest showed the slightest intention of striking, Lin Li would instantly release a terrifying mana wave. Clearly, Lin Li would never allow anyone to ruin his plan. Once High Priest Poer attacked, he would face retaliation by Thunderbolt.


In the end, Saint Edmund of the Gilded Kingdom stopped High Priest Poer in time, preventing the conflict between them from breaking out in advance. Hence, the team from the Gilded Kingdom had no choice but to end their battle and wait for the Tower of Dusk to do the same.


Just like that, the two teams traveled for nearly a day with breaks in between, and finally entered the central area of the ice island. After they did, the ice elemental lifeforms also disappeared, and did not attack them.


The Tower of Dusk’s plan to train their subordinates naturally had to be put on hold. The Tower of Dusk did not waste any more time, and the two teams naturally enjoyed a boost in their marching speed. It was as if they could reach their destination in the next moment.


However, before Saint Edmund could rejoice, a loud ring resounded through the clouds, followed by a terrifying aura that shrouded the group. Immediately afterwards, they saw in the air a ma.s.sive white bird-shaped magical beast rushing towards the two teams on the ground.


“d.a.m.n, it’s the Ice Phoenix! How did this thing appear here!?” High Priest Poer couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.


It was said that the power of the phoenixes was far greater than that of the ancient wyrms in the prehistoric times. However, the very fact that the phoenixes were extremely rare meant that they could not partic.i.p.ate in the battle for supremacy between the ancient wyrms and the t.i.tans in Anril. However, in the war between the ancient wyrms and the t.i.tans, the phoenixes had always been extraordinary; hence, neither the ancient wyrms nor the t.i.tans wanted to push the phoenixes to their opponent. Clearly, although the Phoenix clan was small in number, the ancient wyrms and the t.i.tans were wary of their strength.


The Ice Phoenixes were considered the aliens of the phoenixes. Even in the prehistoric times, there were very few of them due to the fact that the phoenixes basically had fire as the origin of power, unlike the ancient wyrms that had a variety of origins of power.


As their name implied, the Ice Phoenixes had the Laws of Ice as their origin power. Compared to the phoenixes that ordinary people knew, they were at the other extreme of power. The Ice Phoenix that appeared in front of the two teams today had power that was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. In fact, its power even contained some divine aura, and it was probably near the realm of the G.o.ds.


Shrouded in white and crystalline feathers, the Ice Phoenix had wings that were hundreds of meters long and nine long tails trailing behind it. It was surrounded by clouds that had condensed into ice, giving it a majestic vibe.


Even Saint Edmund of the Gilded Kingdom had no idea if the Ice Phoenix was the one that had caused the changes in the ice island, or that the ice island had caused the Ice Phoenix to come over. However, the several Sanctuary powerhouses knew that the Ice Phoenix definitely wouldn’t come just to chat with them.


The Ice Phoenix was definitely the strongest opponent that the two teams had met so far. Once the Ice Phoenix issued a threat, the members of the two teams except for the Sanctuary powerhouses would probably face a ma.s.sive disaster.


Facing an opponent at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, there was no need for anyone to be cannon fodder. Those below the Sanctuary-realm would probably die as soon as they came into contact with the aftershocks. Hence, the Sanctuary powerhouses broke free from their respective teams, and flew into the air almost unanimously.


Seeing that the several Sanctuary powerhouses were coming forth, the Ice Phoenix almost ignored them, and simply spread its wings while vibrating. A terrifying ice storm swept towards the Sanctuary powerhouses. In the ice storm, countless large ice crystals flew rapidly. Even a mountain range would probably be blasted into dust by the impact.


As soon as they saw this situation, the several Sanctuary powerhouses dared not slow down in the slightest, and each of them immediately cast their strongest defensive magic spells. Even peak Legendary powerhouses could not resist and endure for a second in the storm.


Although it was said that all under the Sanctuary-realm were insignificant ants, neither Lin Li, Saint Edmund, nor the others were willing to see the talents they nurtured die.


Saint Edmund pointed his scepter forward, and a huge shield that was composed of a dull light was immediately erected in front of him out of thin air. Elder Zumar and High Priest Poer launched their respective Domain Worlds, which were definitely the most powerful defensive means of all Sanctuary powerhouses.


Both Elder Zumar and High Priest Poer had water element as their base; hence, the Domain Worlds that they created were also ocean worlds. However, it could be seen that Elder Zumar’s was obviously stronger than that of High Priest Poer.


Elder Zumar’s ocean world was already based on the elemental laws of water which resulted in many other laws, thus creating an ocean world full of vitality. High Priest Poer’s ocean world seemed much duller, and apart from the vast sea, all the islands were still like floating icebergs.


At this moment, Lin Li had also swung out the Helios’ Scepter, but he did not unfold his Domain World. Instead, he erected a crystal-like Ice Shield in front of himself. Not only did it shield him, but also Connoris and the two Undead servants.


Seeing that Lin Li did not cast a Domain World, and instead cast a magic shield, High Priest Poer was full of disdain.


Although High Priest Poer had suffered an unjust loss during their brief battle, deep down, he did not think that Lin Li would be much more powerful than him. Now that Lin Li had mimicked Saint Edmund, and cast only a magic shield to defend against the terrifying attack of the Ice Phoenix, Poer felt that Lin Li was going to make a fool out of himself.


When Elder Zumar saw Lin Li’s move, he was just as shocked, and he secretly criticized Lin Li for being too arrogant. Although his knowledge of Lin Li’s strength was far greater than that of High Priest Poer, he likewise did not think that Lin Li’s strength could be compared to that of Saint Edmund.


High Priest Poer hoped that Lin Li would suffer a big loss, or even get killed by the Ice Phoenix, but Elder Zumar had even more considerations. Although he also hoped for a chance to get rid of the young president of the Tower of Dusk, he did not think that now was a good time. The strength of the Ice Phoenix had already reached the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and was even vaguely near the realm of the G.o.ds. If they lost a Sanctuary powerhouse, they would probably pay a huge price even if they obtained victory in the end.


However, it was too late to say anything, and the Ice Phoenix wouldn’t give them any time to discuss anything. The terrifying ice storm swept over in the blink of an eye, and the several Sanctuary powerhouses overlapped their magic defenses. In an instant, it was as if the sky was snowing as countless ice crystals splattered everywhere.


High Priest Poer was waiting to see Lin Li make a fool out of himself, but he didn’t expect to be the first to be doomed. Under the ferocious impact of the ice storm, the Domain World he created was like a cracked eggsh.e.l.l as countless spatial rifts appeared in it.
