Chapter 1047: Meditation Ground
The Tempest Beasts in the fog were in a much worse state as they rolled and flew out in all directions. Those weaker were even shaken to death.
The World Sword that had been bombarded by the Creation Thunderbolt was clearly covered in cracks, and the incredibly solid structure of laws was almost disintegrated by the terrifying power of the bombardment. However, even though the World Sword seemed to be on the verge of collapsing, it had yet to collapse in the end. Hence, it surged towards the Tempest Beast King’s head and slashed it.
However, the Tempest Beast King was having a hard time hanging on. The Creation Thunderbolt clearly did not achieve the expected effect, and even caused its body to become extremely weak at this moment. Although its strength would not be affected greatly once it pa.s.sed the moment of feebleness, as its power would not be affected too greatly, the World Sword that came slas.h.i.+ng at its head clearly did not give it the slightest opportunity to breathe.
Faced with this situation, the Tempest Beast King had no choice but to do its best to dodge regardless of how reluctant it was. Fortunately, speed was its strength, and despite having shown signs of weakness, it was, after all, still a top Sanctuary powerhouse. If it was bent on escaping, no one would be able to stop it.
However, although the Tempest Beast King managed to dodge, the other Tempest Beasts that were originally revolving around it were in trouble. They were initially still waiting to see their king show its might and destroy their enemy’s attack with the Creation Thunderbolt, but they didn’t expect the invincible Creation Thunderbolt to be ineffective. By the time they reacted, their king had already fled to the side, and the World Sword that emitted a terrifying aura had already been slashed downwards.
Although the World Sword had been terribly blasted and damaged by the Creation Thunderbolt, it could not be matched by ordinary Tempest Beast. The World Sword that seemed somewhat damaged landed on the bunch of Tempest Beasts, and a large number of Tempest Beasts were immediately ripped into shreds by the World Power of the World Sword.
Only a few Sanctuary-realm Tempest Beasts managed to react in time, and they immediately cast their Wind Domains and turned themselves into a part of the thunderstorm. Finally, they managed to survive under the attack of the World Sword. However, even then, they also paid the price of having their domains collapsing. With blood spurting out of them, they were forced out of the storm.
However, preserving their lives under the attack did not mean that they were completely safe. When the Sanctuary-realm Tempest Beasts thought that they had already escaped the ordeal, Lin Li, who was following closely behind the World Sword, suddenly appeared in a flash in front of them. Without any other actions, Lin Li simply pointed the Helios’ Scepter forward a little, after which it immediately emitted a dazzling golden light that engulfed those few Tempest Beasts.
Hearing the wailing sounds coming from the fireb.a.l.l.s, the Tempest Beast King was so exasperated that it was almost going to vomit blood. It glared at Lin Li, and the Creation Thunderbolt suddenly darted towards the latter. However, Lin Li did not bother fighting with the Tempest Beast King this time, and he ignored the burning Tempest Beasts too. He immediately flashed and darted into the group of Tempest Beasts in another direction, starting a b.l.o.o.d.y ma.s.sacre.
Lin Li was now at the peak of level-27. Besides, with the guidance of Geresco’s incarnation, as well as the training he got when fighting countless battles in the Barbarous Arena, he could easily take on battles with opponents that were beyond his level, let alone wipe out the incompetent Tempest Beasts that had yet to even reach the Sanctuary-realm. They were just like ants that Lin Li could crush easily with the wave of his hand. Besides, even the Tempest Beasts that had barely reached the Sanctuary-realm were almost powerless in front of him.
Watching Lin Li put his subordinates in a grinder, the Tempest Beast King roared in exasperation, and its body turned into a lightning bolt as it chased after Lin Li. However, Lin Li was just as fast as the Tempest Beast King. Besides, he also had the ability to be as quick as flash thanks to the s.p.a.ce Robe.
Sensing that the Tempest Beast King was getting closer, Lin Li immediately activated the s.p.a.ce Robe, and flashed to the other side to kill all the Tempest Beasts in sight. On the other hand, when the Tempest Beast King was about to catch up to the target, it suddenly felt its vision getting blurry, and it lost track of its wretched enemy. It only discovered that the enemy had scurried behind it when it heard its underlings roaring.
After several rounds, the Tempest Beast King roared, and the Tempest Beasts under it immediately no longer gathered together to wait for Lin Li to kill them. The Tempest Beast King thought that since its underlings had left, Lin Li would probably go after it. However, it did not expect that even though its underlings were fast, they could not beat Lin Li who was as quick as a flash. However, due to the fact that Lin Li had gone farther away while chasing the Tempest Beasts, the Tempest Beast King found it harder to catch up with Lin Li.
In just a few moments, hundreds of hundreds of Tempest Beasts were slaughtered by Lin Li, and the Tempest Beast King which was chasing after him was so furious that it was about to explode.
It’s your turn now! After Lin Li turned the last ordinary Tempest Beast into flying ashes, he turned around to face the Tempest Beast King, which was coming after him.
The strength of this Tempest Beast King was actually much worse than the opponents that Lin Li faced in the later stages of the Barbarous Arena. Due to the special nature of the Wind Domain, the Tempest Beast King could fuse all the power of its subordinates into his own Wind Domain, thus allowing it to recover quickly after casting the Creation Thunderbolt. Now that Lin Li had already killed all those Tempest Beasts, and the Tempest Beast King’s strength had fallen to the level that it was originally at, the Creation Thunderbolt could no longer be cast randomly.
“World!” Lin Li hollered, and the gemstone at the top of the Helios’ Scepter shone with a gorgeous light. The World Domain was immediately cast, pulling the Tempest Beast King into the domain. Immediately afterwards, countless World Swords suddenly emerged in his world, each one seemingly containing power that was no weaker than the one preceding it.
If Lin Li was outside, he would only be able to condense a single World Sword with his full power. However, now that he was in his Domain World, he would be able to make fire turn cold and vice versa. Creating those World Swords would only require the change of some laws.
As soon as it saw this, the Tempest Beast King immediately exerted its Wind Domain with all its might, trying to break free from Lin Li’s Domain World. However, Lin Li was the ruler and the supreme G.o.d of his Domain World. Thus, everything in the world was under his control. Since he had already captured the Tempest Beast King, how could he let it escape easily?
Lin Li did not give the Tempest Beast King a chance to struggle, and simply gently pointed the Helios’ Scepter forward a little, after which the countless World Swords immediately began moving and darting towards the Tempest Beast King in the middle.
In the beginning, the Tempest Beast King could barely hold on, but being in someone else’s World Domain caused it to be unable to receive the support of the power from the outside world, and bit by bit, its power decreased. Besides, it was fighting against such powerful World Swords.
After three successive waves of attacks launched by Lin Li, the Tempest Beast King could no longer keep its defense up. With the collapse of the Wind Domain, its huge body was also devoured by the countless World Swords, and it was annihilated before it could even roar. Even its magical crystal was slashed into pieces, but the good thing was that they were in Lin Li’s Domain World, and the mana of the broken magical crystal did not go to waste.
The two eyes of the Tempest Beast King remained intact after the attacks of the World Swords, but they turned into two purple beads filled with lightning that were jumping around from time to time. Lin Li waved his hand to take the two beads, after which he infused his mental strength into them, and carefully began probing the so-called Creation Thunderbolt.
The lightning in the beads was actually somewhat similar in nature to the power of the debris of the stars Thunderbolt, but not as powerful as the latter. Besides, without the nourishment of the Tempest Beast King, the power of the lightning in the beads was slowly dissipating. It would probably be exhausted soon.
However, it was not that Lin Li did not have a solution for this issue. He just had to arrange an Alchemy Array and use his magical crystals to nourish the beads to make them grow more rapidly. Of course, he could not feed them for nothing. Lin Li thought that he could turn the beads into magical weapons and install them on a battles.h.i.+p that he created. The power of the Creation Thunderbolt was far stronger than any other magical crystal’s.
After putting away the two beads, Lin Li stood in midair and watched the landscape of the Sunset Mountains, feeling rather helpless. What exactly was Geresco trying to do by creating this world? Did he want to hunt and kill the prehistoric magical beasts like I did?
Although Lin Li would not be faced with any danger given his current strength, it would be a terrible outcome if he were to go overboard and end up attracting a bunch of Sanctuary-realm magical beasts.
It was not impossible. The Sanctuary-realm prehistoric magical beasts were no fools, and they wouldn’t really obediently wait for Lin Li to come at them.
Truth be told, if this was not the world that Geresco left in the inverted tower, Lin Li would want to turn around and leave. He wouldn’t waste his precious time on meaningless battles with the prehistoric magical beasts. Even if he could gain a lot by killing the prehistoric magical beasts, the value could not compare to his time.
However, that also made Lin Li feel a little bewildered. Since this was not the primordial world, why were there so many Sanctuary-level prehistoric magical beasts!? Especially during the battle with the Tempest Beasts, Lin Li discovered that many of the beasts were still in the growth stage, which meant that they were born in this world, and not captured by Geresco.
That discovery reminded Lin Li of a situation he noticed just now when he was a.n.a.lyzing the structure of the laws of this world before he got interrupted by the Tempest Beasts. The magical waves in this world were surprisingly far stronger than those of Anril, and the concentration of magical elements was rather astonis.h.i.+ng. It was several times stronger than that of Anril even though the latter was now affected by the magic tides.
However, due to the appearance of the Tempest Beasts at that time, Lin Li thought that his discovery was related to the appearance of a large number of prehistoric magical beasts. After all, among that group of Tempest Beasts, not only was there the Tempest Beast King that was near the Sanctuary-realm, but also many Tempest Beasts that were near the Sanctuary-realm. The appearance of so many Sanctuary-level prehistoric magical beasts would naturally result in drastic changes in the surrounding environment.
At the thought of this, Lin Li slightly closed his eyes, and once again dispersed his mental strength. As expected, what he sensed was the same as before. Besides, he even discovered that the mana in his body was barely depleted after two consecutive battles that were relatively intense.
Even Lin Li who claimed to have an infinite amount of mana would have experienced a significant consumption of mana after going through two Sanctuary-level battles. When he was in the Barbarous Arena previously, the Barbarous Arena would help him recover when he was waiting for a new opponent to appear. However, he was not in the Barbarous Arena now.
Could it be that the reason lies in the special environment of this world? Lin Li thought to himself, only to give himself a great shock. If he had guessed correctly, the speed of the recovery of mana in this world would be terrifying.
Although Lin Li seemed to have won the two battles effortlessly, he had also cast the World Sword, which was more powerful than the Light and Darkness Sword, twice. Each casting of the World Sword would result in a large consumption of mana. Lin Li managed to hang on and continue because he had a large amount of mana. Those who had just stepped into the Sanctuary-realm would probably be unable to continue with the battle after using this spell once.
In this state, his mana had recovered at a shocking speed. What would happen if he meditated in this world of his? At the thought of meditation, Lin Li suddenly thought of the words “Meditation Land”!
In fact, after every mage reached a certain level, they would specially choose a place that was the most suitable for his or her meditation and treat it as their Meditation Land. They would have all sorts of requirements for it too. For example, they were particular about safety, peace, and, most importantly, the abundance of magical elements. Thus, the mage could significantly increase the efficiency of meditation by meditating in the meditation place of his own choice.
Of course, even if a mage were to select carefully, they would not find an incredible Meditation Land in Anril. The good ones were all occupied long ago by the various major forces. For example, the Sky Garden of the Supreme Council, the Holy Mountain of the Brilliance Shrine, and the Eternal Night Canyon of the Darkness Shrine. Other than those powerful forces, the mages of the other forces would also take the Meditation Land as an important point of consideration.
The place where the Tower of Dusk was built was actually not a suitable place for a Meditation Land. However, Lin Li was wealthy enough to make up for the lack of a place for meditation. After obtaining the Throne of Darkness, he had more than enough Legendary magical crystals, which would be enough for him to create a Meditation Land.
