Chapter 993: Disappear

Although the Immortal King’s incarnation had been created by the Immortal King, it clearly had some sentience. After all, even the Lord of Darkness that the Dragon of Destruction Azardas had created was capable of having a consciousness, what more the creation of a mythical figure like the Immortal King. Lin Li’s actions caused the Immortal King’s incarnation to feel a great sense of danger as well. He even began to attack Lin Li hysterically.

If the incarnation of the Immortal King had attacked Lin Li so hysterically right from the beginning, Lin Li might really have died there. However, unfortunately for the incarnation, Lin Li was now gradually gaining control over the Well of the Sun, and could even manipulate its power to help him resist attacks during his escape. Hence, it was much easier for him to flee.

“Thunderbolt! Rebirth!”

Another two pieces of the debris of the stars were returned to their positions, and the entire Well of the Sun seemed to be revitalized by the power of the six pieces of the debris of the stars. Although the Well of the Sun had still been trampled and ruined by the Immortal King’s incarnation, it did not seem like it had been destroyed at this moment.

Lin Li, who had turned as pale as a sheet, was standing in front of the last golden altar, the corners of his lips stained with the blood that he had spat out just now. However, he was smiling at the Immortal King’s incarnation who was chasing after him. Seeing that the Immortal King’s incarnation had activated the Stars of Fury and shot an arrow, which was the strongest of all arrows belonging to the King of Hunters, Lin Li stabbed his debris of the stars, Nothingness, into the golden altar without hesitation.

With the restoration of the debris of the stars, the entire Well of the Sun began to shake violently, and the power that contained the Laws of time and space emerged from the golden altar, spreading to the surroundings with the golden altar as its center. Under the nomological power, the entire Well of the Sun seemed to have experienced a reversed flow of time as the palace that had been ruined by the Immortal King’s incarnation began to slowly recover its original air.

At the same time, Lin Li had a sudden enlightenment, and the entire Well of the Sun was deeply etched in his mind. It was as if the Well of the Sun had become an extension of his body. The injuries he sustained also recovered quickly without any Recovery Potions.

The incarnation of the Immortal King was holding the Stars of Fury, but the terrifying power that was accumulating in the arrow was diminished because of the reversed flow of time. Next, the arrow turned into pure power and specks of stardust that dispersed in the surroundings. However, the mana-condensed Stars of Fury gradually turned into countless orbs that were hidden in space.

“Ah!”

Seeing this, the Immortal King’s incarnation shrieked miserably, his voice filled with horror and indignation. However, his shrieking did not have any effect, as his body gradually became thinner.

The Immortal King’s incarnation charged towards Lin Li indignantly, and when his fist was about to touch the tip of Lin Li’s nose, he turned into a ball of smoke that dissipated into space.

Upon sight of the disappearance of the Immortal King’s incarnation, Lin Li finally let out a sigh of relief, and only then did he feel his legs turning weak. Fortunately, his injuries had long recovered, and his physical state was the same as when he just arrived. Even the Space Robe on his body, which had turned into a strip of cloth, was restored to its original state.

With the disappearance of the Immortal King’s incarnation, the seven pieces of the debris of the stars that constituted the Domain World appeared from the void in the original spot of the incarnation before turning into seven rays of light that shot out in all directions of the Well of the Sun. Lin Li could tell that the directions the pieces of the debris of the stars were going in were exactly where the golden altars were.

That surprised Lin Li as he wondered, Could the two sets of debris of the stars be merged together? Thinking of this, he arrived at the golden altar that was nearest to him, and removed the debris of the stars, Nothingness, after a moment of hesitation.

Seeing that the scene around him did not change as he removed Nothingness, and the Immortal King’s incarnation did not appear again, Lin Li secretly felt a sense of relief, and focused his attention on the debris of the stars, Nothingness, in his hand.

Lin Li had a rather profound understanding of the debris of the stars, so as soon as his mental strength entered, he immediately felt the changes in the debris of the stars, but that was just one aspect. More importantly, the Laws in the debris of the stars seemed to have become even more perfect.

Although Lin Li had not detected any flaws in the debris of the stars when he first obtained it, it was because he hadn’t known enough about the power of the debris of the stars yet. Although he had already had the debris of the stars and the Stars of Fury in the Endless World, he had still been only a Hunter then. Besides, he had not had such an illusory perception in the game world.

Hence, Lin Li only knew that the debris of the stars that he had been using was most likely flawed when he felt the change in the Laws. In order to verify his guess, Lin Li quickly returned using the path that he took to come here. Along the way, he grabbed all of the pieces of the debris of the stars, and scrutinized them one by one using his mental strength.

However, right after Lin Li got the debris of the stars, Holy Light, he suddenly felt a large amount of memories surging into his brain. After the fragments of memories appeared, Lin Li did not need to piece them together at all. Instead, they began fusing immediately and automatically, forming a relatively complete memory.

When the memory fragments were put together, a large amount of information surfaced in Lin Li’s mind hysterically. The information contained his comprehension and experience of using the debris of the stars, as well as his insights on the world and the creation of domains.

As Lin Li stood still quietly, the seven pieces of the debris of the stars left his hand and hovered around his body. The seven origin powers emitted from the debris of the stars gradually formed an illusion of the Domain World.

If anyone were to see it at this time, they would notice that Lin Li’s Domain World was no longer as barren as before. Instead, it was full of life and vitality. In his Domain World, greenery and living beings as well as sentient beings with high intelligence began to appear, giving rise to brilliant civilization.

The memory fragments that emerged in Lin Li’s mind had come from his other seven pieces of the debris of the stars, and they were memories that truly belonged to the Immortal King. With those memories, Lin Li finally had a new understanding of the World Laws, resulting in a drastic change in the world of his domain.

Although Lin Li’s current Domain World still seemed somewhat worthless compared to the one controlled by the Immortal King’s incarnation in the beginning, that also meant that Lin Li’s Magical Domain had reached the peak of level-26.

Besides, that was only the beginning, and the memories of the Immortal King had brought Lin Li far more benefits than that. However, with Lin Li’s current foundation, he could only assimilate them thus far. He would need more time to slowly comprehend and digest other profound information.

At the same time, in addition to the increase in level, Lin Li’s mastery and control over the seven pieces of the debris of the stars had also increased qualitatively through his deciphering of the Immortal King’s memories. The Immortal King could condense the Stars of Fury out of thin air with his mana. Hence, he definitely had a thorough understanding of the Laws contained in the debris of the stars.

Lin Li only realized that his understanding of the debris of the stars was just the tip of the iceberg after reading through the Immortal King’s memories.

Through the Immortal King’s memories, Lin Li also finally understood why he had always felt incapable of fully exerting the true power of the debris of the stars in the past. It turned out that the absence of the Stars of Fury was not the only reason. It was also because he did not have the complete debris of the stars previously.

With his comprehensive knowledge of the debris of the stars, the Immortal King’s incarnation managed to split their power in two, one of which was spread in the world of Anril, and the other in Well of the Sun.

The Immortal King’s memories were far more valuable to Lin Li than gaining the ownership of the Sky Castle. After entering the Sanctuary-realm, every increase in level meant a step closer to the realm of the gods, and each step was even larger than the distance from the sky to the earth.

After Lin Li digested a portion of the Immortal King’s memories, he actually managed to gain so much information and progress. Not only did his level increase to the peak of level-26, the combat power that he could now exert was definitely not comparable to what he had been able to do before, since he had gained a better mastery of the debris of the stars.

As Lin Li continued to digest and absorb more of the Immortal King’s memories in the future, his path to the Sanctuary-realm’s peak would definitely be smoother than before. Of course, the premise was that he had to get through the next obstacle. If he were to die in Osric’s hands, he wouldn’t have to think about anything else anymore.

With this gain, Lin Li still wasn’t certain that he would definitely defeat Osric, but he was at least more confident in dealing with the latter.

Lin Li stood in place for a long time until he felt that he could no longer comprehend anything from the Immortal King’s memories with his own power. He then slowly opened his eyes and raised his hand to put away the seven pieces of the debris of the stars.

Through this period of comprehension, Lin Li had gained a new understanding of the debris of the stars, and he could even feel the emotions conveyed by them. Even without the Stars of Fury, he could still exert power that was definitely hundreds of times greater than before.

If Lin Li were to have another battle with the Immortal King’s incarnation now, he would no longer be in a pathetic state like before, though it was unlikely that he would win. If he used the same method, however, he would definitely be able to get rid of the incarnation without sustaining injuries.

At this moment, the armies of the alternate world had already vanished because of the dissipation of the Immortal King’s incarnation. However, the expedition suffered major losses in the battle, and the effect of the reversed flow of time that happened when Lin Li gained control of the Well of the Sun did not work on the expedition. After all, it was a test that the Immortal King had prepared for Lin Li, and the cannon fodder was not taken into consideration at all.

Seeing that the armies had disappeared, those who survived finally let out a sigh of relief, and fell to the ground ungracefully. They couldn’t care if it was really safe or not. If there were any enemies, they would just accept it. They no longer wanted to put up a fight.

Archbishop Martin’s face turned pale when he looked at his team. After the intense battle just now, the Brilliance Shrine’s team had lost more than half of their members even though their strength had increased. That made the archbishop feel extremely agonized. Those members were the elites of the Brilliance Shrine and their future.

However, Archbishop Martin was more concerned about Lin Li’s state. As long as Lin Li was alright, the magical weapon that Lin Li had would definitely make up for the losses this time, and it could even make the Brilliance Shrine become stronger. It seemed cruel to say that, but that was the truth. No matter how pitiful the casualties were, they were already dead, and those that were alive still had to consider their own lives.

Compared to the Brilliance Shrine, the losses suffered by the Rotterdam Kingdom’s team were far greater as almost all their Alchemy Colossuses were crippled. Seated together, Donald and Kanber looked around sulkily. If they could reach their goal of exploration this time, it would be worth it, but if not, they would definitely lose a lot.

Even in the Rotterdam Kingdom where alchemy was the mainstay, the value of the Alchemy Colossus was still huge. If they could not gain anything from the expedition this time, how could Donald and Kanber answer to the king and the officials of the kingdom? Even Prince Kanber who was favored by the king would probably be directly deprived of his succession rights, or even reduced to a commoner.

“I wonder what happened to that Felic. If we could get the magical weapons from him, it would be considered a form of explanation for the king!” Kanber said softly to Donald as he looked at the team from the Tower of Dusk.

The team from the Tower of Dusk had already suffered some casualties in the intense battle. However, compared to the Brilliance Shrine and the Rotterdam Kingdom, their losses were negligible. The main casualties were the new mages who joined the team. Due to the fact that they were stressed, there were mistakes in coordination, and they basically injured themselves.

The result naturally made the other two feel extremely jealous. However, they were mages. Hence, they obviously wouldn’t rush to the front line like Warriors. Besides, the several Legendary powerhouses of the Tower of Dusk had done a lot. No one could say anything, since they did not contribute nearly as much during the battle.
