Chapter 1266: Detonation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Li waved his hand and grasped the mass of yellow light before channeling his ntal strength into the mass of light imdiately. Just like bees sucking nectar, it absorbed the knowledge of the laws of earth in the mass of light into his mind.
After a long ti, Lin Li finally opened his eyes, and stowed away the mass of light that represented the power of Origin of earth into his Ring of Endless Storm. Imdiately afterwards, the debris of the stars, Rebirth, flew out from his Domain World, and released a light that was drastically different from before.
Sensing that he was getting more and more comfortable with controlling Rebirth, Lin Li had greater anticipation for the next test.
At this mont, the loud sounds of a violent explosion suddenly ca from the sky. Imdiately afterwards, Lin Li saw a huge fireball smashing towards him. Is it the Ancient God of Fire’s turn this ti? However, regardless of what it was, Lin Li did not dare to really take on the attack. Instead, he activated his Space Robe and flew in another direction.
When the fireball landed on the position where Lin Li was originally standing at, it seed to stop as if the ergency brakes were applied. Next, the fireball stretched out and turned into a figure that was engulfed by flas, emitting a suffocating divine power like a god descending from the sky.
It was an ancient god, but not the Ancient God of Fire that Lin Li thought he was. Although his body was covered in blazing flas, the flas did not contain a trace of the Origin of Fire. After stretching his body, that ancient god turned to face Lin Li, and his body shook a little. Soon, the flas that shrouded his body were instantly extinguished by a strange power.
As the flas vanished, the ancient god’s appearance was unraveled. He was nearly 10 ters tall, and the muscles of his naked body seed to be cast in steel. There was no doubt that he possessed the power to overturn the sea and sky.
The Ancient God of Strength! Lin Li finally recognized his opponent to be the Ancient God of Strength who had mastered the Origin of strength, and who was said to be able to lift Anril with both hands, break through millions of layers of space with a single punch, and easily make Anril sink by several ters according to the myths.
There was another god that was similar to the Ancient God of Strength: the low-level main god, Hercules. However, Hercules was just like a nobody compared to the Ancient God of Strength. Hercules had achieved godhood through his mastery of the laws of strength, while the Ancient God of Strength had an inherent mastery of the Origin of strength, which was the source of all strength.
Lin Li initially hoped that he would be able to battle the masters of all four elental laws, but he didn’t expect to face the Ancient God of Strength. While feeling disappointed, he also felt a little vexed. If he had guessed correctly, the Ancient God of Strength could not be easily suppressed by the Mount Tai mageweath.
Strictly speaking, Lin Li’s Mount Tai mageweath was very similar to the Origin of strength of the Ancient God of Strength. Although Lin Li was indeed the one who had created the laws of the Mount Tai mageweath, it was very compatible with the nature of the Origin of strength. Under such circumstances, it would naturally not be that easy to suppress the Ancient God of Strength who possessed the Origin of strength.
BOOM!
The figure of the Ancient God of Strength suddenly vanished on the spot, letting out a thunderous roar. Imdiately afterwards, a fist that blocked Lin Li’s entire field of vision suddenly ca crashing towards him almost at the sa ti as the disappearance of the Ancient God of Strength occurred. Even though Lin Li’s surroundings were still protected by the debris of the stars, the Domain World didn’t seem to have the slightest effect in blocking the steel punch as it was crushed into pieces. Under the blow from the Ancient God of Strength, the seven pieces of the debris of the stars were actually forced out of Lin Li’s Domain World.
Fortunately, Lin Li had already prepared for this long ago, so he imdiately deployed the Space Robe. As it flickered, he vanished right on the spot, and dodged the Ancient God of Strength’s punch. When Lin Li’s figure appeared in another direction, he couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
The re punch of the Ancient God of Strength made Lin Li feel a sense of danger that he hadn’t felt before in his previous battles with the two Ancient Gods. He was certain that his body would have been blown to pieces if he had taken that punch, and even his Sanctuary-level soul, which was said to be indestructible, would not be able to avoid annihilation.
It was not that the Ancient God of Strength was necessarily more powerful than the previous two Ancient Gods, but rather his fighting thod was indeed mind-boggling and vexing for a mage like Lin Li.
There was a saying in Anril that mages were the nesis of warriors because warriors had to fight in close combat in order for their attacks to be effectively lethal. However, there was also another saying that warriors were the nesis of mages because once a warrior got close to the fragile bodies of the mages, the mages would be dood.
It was like how fire and water would cancel out each other, but once a fire was big enough, it would be able to vaporize water. Likewise, when there was a large amount of water, it would be able to put out flas. Hence, there was no such thing as a nesis and whatnot, and everything boiled down to strength. Regardless of profession, as long as one was strong enough, they would be the nesis of their enemies.
However, the issue was that if it was a field that Lin Li was familiar with, he would at least be confident in dealing with it even if his enemy was powerful. However, the Ancient God of Strength was stronger than him, and even mastered laws in a field that he wasn’t familiar with. Hence, he was undoubtedly Lin Li’s nesis.
Lin Li was now facing a warrior that was much stronger than him, so the Ancient God of Strength was definitely considered his nesis.
At the beginning, Lin Li had once relied on the strength of his body to defeat a mage like himself. However, his close combat skills were insufficient for dealing with a powerhouse like the Ancient God of Strength.
The Ancient God of Strength’s punch missed, and he imdiately sensed where Lin Li was moving. Without even looking, he turned around and launched another punch. The massive power broke through the air, and there wasn’t a trace of Combat Energy at all. However, a terrifying force blasted at Lin Li across the air.
Lin Li’s figure flashed, and he erged from the void. Once again, he felt the sense of extre danger followed by a heavy blow to his Domain World, which had just regained a little stability. He didn’t dare to stop here at all, and hurriedly activated his Space Robe in a bid to move farther away this ti so that he could buy himself so ti for a counterattack.
However, the Ancient God of Strength that had launched an attack through the air suddenly reached his hands out in front of him, and he ripped the space apart to form a spatial rift in an instant. Lin Li could easily open a spatial rift, but the one that the Ancient God of Strength ripped open had pierced through countless layers of space and spread towards Lin Li.
This ti, Lin Li couldn’t even unleash his Space Robe. Due to the fact that the space had been destroyed by the Ancient God of Strength, his flashing movents could only push him towards the Ancient God of Strength. It was just like opening a hole in the basin, and letting all the water in it flow towards the hole.
Besides, once the power in the spatial rift spread towards his body, it would be even more terrifying than any artifact. Even his Domain World would have to be torn together with it. Lin Li didn’t dare to resist it with his body as he quickly dodged aside while pointing the Helios’ Scepter forward, after which a 100-ter-long Light and Darkness Sword slashed at the Ancient God of Strength.
However, Lin Li knew very well that the Light and Darkness Sword wouldn’t be able to hurt the Ancient God of Strength at all, and that the so-called counterattack was only to gain so opportunity.
Indeed, when facing the Light and Darkness Sword, the Ancient God of Strength had a look of disdain on his face, and he directly reached his hand out to grab it. It was one of the strongest attacks that Lin Li relied on, and yet the Ancient God of Strength managed to grab it with just one hand. Besides, he seed to be completely relaxed, as if he caught sothing trivial.
Imdiately afterwards, the Ancient God of Strength humphed coldly, and crushed the Light and Darkness Sword, even though he seed to have only grasped it with so force. The Light and Darkness Sword, which was more than 100 ters long, started shattering, and black and white light fragnts scattered in all directions like butterflies.
At the sa ti, the figure of the Ancient God of Strength also passed through the thousands of black and white fragnts, rushing towards the front of Lin Li. He then smashed his palm against Lin Li’s head. When his palm landed, he had already sealed the space with the power of his fingers, making it difficult for one to fly, let alone escape by teleportation.
Lin Li imdiately felt that the surrounding space seed to have frozen all of a sudden, and even the air felt like a stiff iron plate. It was as if the power of his Mount Tai mageweath had engulfed his body, making it difficult for him to even move a finger.
In the face of the huge palm that ca smashing downwards, Lin Li had no choice but to condense his World Domain, and catalyze the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars to the maximum. The entire World Domain had already been shrunk to the smallest size possible; at the sa ti, it was also the sturdiest it could be. If the World Sword was said to be the strongest attack, the World Domain was now the strongest defense.
However, even Lin Li himself was unsure if such a high degree of defense was enough to withstand the force of a single blow from the Ancient God of Strength, let alone counterattack. Although the power of the Ancient God of Strength was not complete, it definitely had an overpowering edge over Lin Li, so it wouldn’t be that easy to counterattack.
Lin Li had just gotten ready when the Ancient God of Strength’s attack struck him. Next, his giant palm landed on Lin Li’s Domain World with a loud boom. However, the strike did not send Lin Li flying like a ball. Although he was in midair, there was a sudden force coming from below, which surged upwards and withstood the blow for him.
With that boom, Lin Li still felt as if his body was being compressed, even though he was isolated by the Domain World. The impact of the attack had also caused his Domain World to crumble, while the seven pieces of the debris of the stars were smashed out.
However, just as the Domain World was about to shatter, Lin Li seized the mont to put his ability to move in flashes to use by vanishing right on the spot. However, although he had left, the Domain World was still there. Imdiately afterwards, his Domain World flickered again. It turned out that it had been detonated by Lin Li, causing the World Laws to erupt in a manner that was even more terrifying than the explosion resulting from the conflict of the power of Light and Darkness. It was almost on par with the severity of the self-destruction of a Sanctuary powerhouse.
Of course, detonating one’s Domain World was not sothing that could be done casually, as the Domain World was not a type of magic spell that could be cast when needed. After a Sanctuary powerhouse stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, they’d begin to build their own Domain World based on their understanding of the rules. Once the Domain World was established, it would exist in perpetuity, and continue to be strengthened as its master’s comprehension of laws deepened. Hence, it could be said that the Domain World was the second life of a Sanctuary powerhouse, sothing akin to a magical crystal that a Sanctuary powerhouse has condensed outside of his body.
The Domain World could be broken, but it could still be repaired after so ti. However, once it was destroyed, it would truly be irreparable. Hence, the loss of a Domain World through self-detonation would probably be second only to the self-destruction of the mana core for mages.
Yet, Lin Li resolutely detonated his own Domain World, as if it didn’t belong to him at all. However, the power released by his Domain World had indeed played a significant role; at least it had put the Ancient God of Strength in a disheveled state.
When the figure of the Ancient God of Strength erged from the light, his body was already battered with wounds, and one of his arms was even badly hurt to the point that only his bones were left. Unfortunately, this degree of injury was nothing to the Ancient God of Strength, and the other wounds on his body had also healed rapidly. In fact, even his arm, which only had its bones left, was soon covered with a layer of muscle, followed by another layer of skin.
On the other hand, Lin Li wiped the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth. Although he was as pale as a sheet, he nevertheless raised his arm steadily, and quickly drew a mageweath out of thin air in front of himself. Although the fight with the Ancient God of Strength didn’t last for long, Lin Li had already gained so understanding of the Origin of strength, and finally had a plan for modifying the Mount Tai mageweath.
However, drawing a mageweath required ti regardless of how quick he might be. The Ancient God of Strength clearly wouldn’t give Lin Li the ti he needed. In fact, while the wounds on his body were still healing, the Ancient God of Strength had already launched another attack on Lin Li.
The Ancient God of Strength pressed his fingers together, and slashed his palm towards Lin Li in midair, after which a ray of light imdiately shot at Lin Li. It wasn’t Combat Energy, but an attack that was purely triggered with strength, similar to the way one could fan so wind with his or her palm. However, the power of the Ancient God of Strength was far beyond the simple action of waving his hand.
Lin Li didn’t dare to stop drawing the mageweath. With a re thought in mind, the debris of the stars, Rebirth, darted out and transford into a mountain peak to et the attack of the Ancient God of Strength. There was a loud, explosive boom, and the mountain peak that Rebirth had transford into crumbled almost imdiately upon contact. It was as if it was made of clay. Imdiately afterwards, the debris of the stars, Polar Snow, too, darted out, and a solid crystal-like ice wall supported the back of the crumbling mountain peak.. However, the ice wall made of Polar Snow shattered like glass imdiately, unable to hold up for even a second.
