Chapter 1262: The Ancient G.o.d of Water
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although the Immortal King and Geres...o...b..th claimed to be the most powerful existences in the history of Anril, Lin Li could not have possibly confused the two of them. The Immortal King and Geres...o...b..longed to two completely different eras, and during Geresco’s era, there had never been an event where the G.o.ds had fallen. In that case, the reason for the fall of the G.o.ds should have been the fierce and menacing Immortal King. Geresco might just be the second master of this place which he had inherited after pa.s.sing the test of the Immortal King.
However, Lin Li also did not have time to consider these issues, because the scene in front of him had changed again. The meteors that were falling from the sky had already vanished, but there was one that was darting towards him.
This is probably the test! Lin Li’s figure flashed, and he suddenly appeared in the air outside the island. The meteor that came crashing down smashed hard into that not too large island.
All of a sudden, there was a deafening roar, and the entire island collapsed before quickly sinking to the bottom of the sea, forming a ma.s.sive whirlpool. Immediately afterwards, a tall figure darted out from the center of the whirlpool like a cannonball and charged towards Lin Li.
The enemy who charged towards Lin Li was four or five meters tall, and his body seemed to be somewhat transparent as it was made of water. As he moved, numerous ripples formed on his body. Lin Li could sense an extremely pure power of water elements from the mana fluctuations that he was emitting. In fact, it was not inferior to the debris of the stars, Polar Snow at all.
Before the enemy could come close, Lin Li had already felt a dense and rich aura that swarmed towards him, as if he wasn’t facing just an enemy, but the boundless Endless Ocean.
That feeling immediately reminded Lin Li of the Ancient G.o.d of Water that controlled the elemental law of water, whom Lin Li had pa.s.sed by before arriving here.
Lin Li waved Helios’ Scepter, and more than 10 giant pythons that were condensed from wind elements began charging towards the enemy. With his current Sanctuary-level power, even the ethereal wind elements could condense to form things that were as st.u.r.dy as steel. If the 10-odd Wind Elemental Pythons intertwined themselves around an ancient wyrm, even it wouldn’t be able to struggle and break free easily.
The 10-odd Wind Elemental Pythons almost blocked the s.p.a.ce around the Ancient G.o.d of Water, thus leaving it with no means to retreat. However, the Ancient G.o.d of Water simply ignored it, and didn’t show any intentions to dodge. Instead, it charged straight towards Lin Li.
Just as the Wind Elemental Pythons were about to come in contact with the Ancient G.o.d of Water, the Ancient G.o.d of Water seemed to humph in disdain. Immediately afterwards, a vast ocean appeared out of thin air, and the Wind Elemental Pythons were instantly engulfed and devoured by layers of huge waves.
Faced with this scene, Lin Li kept a straight face, and continued to point the Helios’ Scepter forward, after which a 100-meter-long Light and Darkness Sword appeared and slashed at the Ancient G.o.d of Water. However, that wasn’t all, because almost at the same time that the Light and Darkness Sword was slashed outwards, Lin Li’s Domain World appeared around him too. The World Power that was composed of various basic laws blasted out continuously from the Domain World in various forms. It was as if a storm had swept towards the Ancient G.o.d of Water.
The ancient G.o.ds were superior existences that were high above G.o.ds. Not to mention the strength of a Sanctuary powerhouse like Lin Li, even the main G.o.ds would have to succ.u.mb and bow down to the ancient G.o.ds with their power. Although Lin Li was not facing a genuine ancient G.o.d now, its strength was definitely not to be underestimated, since Geresco had produced it.
In fact, Lin Li even guessed that the Ancient G.o.d of Water in front of him was part of the sealed Ancient G.o.d of Water. Not only did it have the power of the ancient G.o.ds, it also had the will of the ancient G.o.d. Although it did not have the complete power of the ancient G.o.d, the divine power it contained was not something that Lin Li could contend with.
The power of the Light and Darkness Sword was already at the peak of the Sanctuary-level, and among the attack spells that Lin Li had mastered, the World Sword, which was a condensation of the World Laws, was the only one that could compare to it. However, the World Sword could not be maneuvered easily. At least, when facing such a powerful enemy like the ancient G.o.d, Lin Li did not dare to use the World Sword recklessly.
The Light and Darkness Sword had an extraordinary power against ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses, but its power was far inferior compared to the ancient G.o.ds. Under Lin Li’s maneuver, the Light and Darkness Sword slashed at the Ancient G.o.d of Water’s head, while the other party looked more and more disdainful. With a mere thought, the ma.s.sive waves in the surrounding air immediately charged towards the Light and Darkness Sword.
Without the roaring of the violent collision, the Light and Darkness Sword that slashed against the waves paused a little before disintegrating like a sand sculpture struck by waves. It was stripped away layer by layer, and it vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye. The huge wave that crashed against the Light and Darkness Sword did not weaken in the slightest, and continued to charge at Lin Li with a loud roar.
The moment the huge wave washed the Light and Darkness Sword away, Lin Li managed to feel the nomological power that condensed the Light and Darkness Sword, as well as the ma.s.sive power that would break down everything. Although water wasn’t solid, it had a powerful abrasive power, and even the water of a small stream would have the ability to smoothen the rough edges of a hard and st.u.r.dy rock over time, let alone the power of the unparalleled ma.s.sive waves.
Immediately afterward, the ma.s.sive wave once again crashed against Lin Li’s Domain World as it swept through everything in its path. The power that seemed to be able to drown the entire world placed Lin Li’s World Domain on the verge of collapse upon first contact.
Faced with such immense pressure, Lin Li had no choice but to release all seven pieces of the debris of the stars at once, and their light immediately shone brightly throughout the entire Domain World before injecting a powerful force into the latter, which was already somewhat faltering. Given Lin Li’s current power coupled with the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, it could be said that no one in the Sanctuary-realm would be able to compare to his Domain World. Even High Priest Poer, who was already a demiG.o.d, couldn’t defeat Lin Li after lasting in his Domain World for such a long time.
However, the ancient G.o.ds were ultimately true G.o.ds that were superior to all other G.o.ds. Their par was far from what demiG.o.d-level Sanctuary powerhouses could compare to. Besides, the most powerful Divine Kingdom of an ancient G.o.d was an existence that was far beyond the level of the Domain Worlds of mages at the Sanctuary-realm who were about to become G.o.ds.
The Ancient G.o.d of Water was obviously bent on killing Lin Li, whom it saw as an insignificant small fry. Without even testing the waters or anything, the vast ocean around it changed drastically, and the appearance of the Ancient G.o.d of Water’s Divine Kingdom began to be revealed. Millions of believers emerged from the sea of the Divine Kingdom, and worshiped the Ancient G.o.d of Water while their prayers seemed to condense into a ma.s.sive wave as a majestic divine might immediately filled the entire s.p.a.ce.
Lin Li and his Domain World were completely surrounded by the Ancient G.o.d of Water’s Divine Kingdom, while the sound of prayers and the majestic divine might placed great pressure on Lin Li’s Domain World. The creatures that were born in his Domain World seemed to have sensed the calling of the Ancient G.o.d of Water as they began to appear conflicted.
Under such oppression, Lin Li was almost powerless and unable to retaliate. The seven pieces of the debris of the stars that had been integrated into his Domain World were constantly flashing in s.p.a.ce, as if they were on the verge of charging out of the Domain World. Although there wasn’t a doomsday-like catastrophe in Lin Li’s Domain World, he could sense that his Domain World was getting out of his control.
Faced with such great pressure, Lin Li raised the Helios’ Scepter, and the endless, ma.s.sive mana in his body darted out almost immediately. In his Domain World, the debris of the stars, Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, suddenly broke free from the s.p.a.ce, and even turned into two ma.s.sive snakes, one black and one white. They began roaming rapidly in the Domain World.
That was a method to temporarily strengthen one’s Domain World, which Lin Li had obtained through his research on the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness. This method required the usage of the debris of the stars, Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, to replace the incarnations of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness to make the Domain World almost as solid as a Divine Kingdom.
With the appearance of the incarnations of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness, the divine power of the Ancient G.o.d of Water that had penetrated Lin Li’s Domain World was finally restrained to a certain extent. The laws that const.i.tuted the Domain World also finally resumed operation to a certain extent, allowing the Domain World that was initially almost drowned out by the ocean to reemerge from the surface of the water.
However, Lin Li knew very well that even with the use of such a method, his Domain World, which was now like a pseudo-Divine Kingdom, would not be able to hold up for long against the Ancient G.o.d of Water’s Divine Kingdom, let alone defeat it.
Sensing the changes in Lin Li’s Domain World, the Ancient G.o.d of Water seemed slightly surprised. After all, Domain Worlds that had similar characteristics to that of Divine Kingdoms were rather rare in this world. Even a powerhouse that had newly advanced to G.o.dhood might not be able to create their own Divine Kingdom immediately. Only G.o.ds that had reached the level of main G.o.ds would be able to use the incarnations of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness to stabilize their Divine Kingdoms.
Apart from having obtained some of the mysteries of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness from their incarnations, a more important reason that Lin Li managed to achieve such a feat was because he had the two pieces of the debris of the stars, Holy Light and Gloomy Dark. The debris of the stars contained the purest nomological power, and was the best magical item set to be used for manifesting the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness. Even a true G.o.d might not be able to possess such a thing. With Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, Lin Li finally managed to have the chance to manifest the incarnations of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness in his Domain World, even though his strength was only at the Sanctuary-realm.
However, Lin Li’s realm was ultimately still too low. Moreover, he hadn’t mastered much of the arcane mysteries of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness.. Even with Holy Light and Gloomy Dark as the foundation, the incarnations of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness that had been formed were far from perfect, and could only be considered an inferior product.
