Chapter 1064: Gigantic Alchemical Ship
Legend had it that just after stepping into the Legendary-realm, Cardson even went to the Eternal Iceland alone for as long as a year, all for the sake of tasting the meat of the Iceberg Snow Demon. Just as everyone else thought he would never make it out alive, he came out heavily wounded with a Legendary-level Snow Demon King on his shoulder.
Legendary-level magical beasts were originally more powerful than Legendary-level humans. Besides, the harsh environment in the Eternal Iceland had a huge impact on humans, but it was a natural habitat for a magical beast like the Snow Demon. Under such circumstances, he even managed to kill the Snow Demon King, which was something that many Legendary powerhouses of his generation were amazed by.
A crazier thing was that Cardson actually hunted two Snow Demons shortly after entering the Eternal Iceland. However, he accidentally discovered the traces of the Snow Demon King. Hence, due to his cravings, he actually tried to hunt the Snow Demon King down, and spent a year in the Eternal Iceland chasing him. He then successfully hunted the Snow Demon King.
Seeing that Elvis had introduced him to Lin Li, Cardson immediately approached him, and enthusiastically said to Lin Li, “Nice to meet you, President Felic. I heard that you were from Jarrosus Guild of Magic, and I happen to be from that hellhole too. I’ve been wanting to invite you to try my cooking for a long time, but it’s a pity that you’re such a busy man, and I never had the chance to invite you. Once we’re done with the matters here, I must invite you to my place and let you try my latest dish, the Ice and Fire Dragon’s Heart. It’s definitely unforgettable.”
Lin Li did not hear any ingratiation in Cardson’s words, and he could tell that the latter was purely enthusiastic and friendly by nature. Actually, he was a little similar to Gerian in that aspect. To put it nicely, he was not particular about details, but to put it bluntly, he was just insensitive. They also shared a common point—they were both chubby.
“Enough, Cardson, now’s not the time to flaunt your culinary skills. One day, you will die because of your mouth.” Lin Li could tell from the way they conversed that Elvis and Cardson were very close to each other. Although he sounded like he was chiding Cardson, Elvis was actually giving him a reminder. After all, Lin Li was a true Sanctuary powerhouses whom they, insignificant pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses, could not afford to provoke.
“Haha, Master Cardson, don’t worry. Since I’ve been invited by a gourmet like you, I definitely won’t miss it no matter what. I just hope that you won’t be stingy with the precious food that you have when the time comes,” said Lin Li, who didn’t seem in the least bit annoyed about his friendliness. He even smiled and accepted the invitation.
Lin Li’s reaction was really beyond Elvis’s expectations, and even the other people in the conference hall were obviously a little surprised.
The young president of the Tower of Dusk, who was also the youngest Sanctuary powerhouse in history, was known to be cold-blooded and ruthless to his enemies. Anyone who tried to harm the interests of the Tower of Dusk would be dealt a devastating blow. Therefore, they were all scrupulous towards Lin Li.
However, they would also avoid coming in contact with Lin Li as far as possible as they felt that being around him was just too dangerous. None of them knew if they would end up offending the vicious and ruthless Sanctuary powerhouse because of a careless mistake. Hence, they failed to get to know the real Lin Li, and were more believing of those rumors.
However, as Lin Li spoke to Cardson, the crowd managed to see another side of him, or rather the real him. They were surprised to find that he was not arrogant and condescending at all. Perhaps they had failed to notice, but the seemingly ordinary conversation had caused some indescribable changes in their opinion of him.
On the other hand, Cardson seemed to have failed to discover anything. He patted his round belly in a bubbly manner with a smile, and said, “Don’t call me master. If you don’t look down on me, just call me Old Cardson. Don’t worry, as long as you visit, I will never be stingy. It just so happens that I have a few dragon eggs at my place. They’ll taste wonderful with the Ice and Fire Dragon’s heart.”
Lin Li had a lighthearted and natural conversation with Cardson, after which he assigned a few Legendary powerhouses to him. Thus, the crowd in the conference hall was divided into six teams by Lin Li, each led by a pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouse. Lin Li did not need to bother about how each one of them would do as long as the six leaders acted according to his arrangements.
After Lin Li arranged everything, the long-awaited moment for Cantory finally arrived. Under his leadership, Lin Li brought his team of elites from the Breezy Plains to fly to Cage Island.
The Rafah City of the Cartia Family was not very far from Cage Island. Besides, they were using the Power of Flight to fly in a straight line. Hence, they soon saw the light and shadows caused by the magical explosion on Cage Island as well as heard the rumbling thunder-like sounds.
However, Lin Li did not lead the people straight to the battlefield, and instead chose a place to land near the battlefield.
“President Felic!” Seeing that Lin Li had actually stopped with his people, Cage Island became somewhat anxious. At this point, he could already tell that the battle situation on Cage Island had become much worse than it was when he’d left. Elder Zumar’s oceanic World Domain had been suppressed and attacked greatly. At this moment, Elder Zumar probably wouldn’t have the energy to send him out of the battlefield again.
However, Lin Li ignored Cantory’s urging, and instead stood still to carefully observe the scene on the battlefield. Although he had heard about the situation, and imagined it based on Cantory’s description previously, he still needed to carefully observe and analyze the actual situation.
After all, the opponent that he was going to face was likely to be the powerful demigod that he was familiar with, and so he needed a safe and stable entry point. Otherwise, if he were to forcefully intervene, the people Lin Li brought might be in danger even if he could stay safe. Lin Li brought them there to help, not to die for nothing.
Thick clouds were rolling in the sky above Cage Island, and countless thunderbolts came crashing down like a rainfall, landing on the large blue area in the center of the island. Each thunderbolt would cause ripples in the blue area, and the countless thunderbolts caused the entire area to be overwhelmed as it began shaking.
There were also shocking waves around the island, making the entire sea area look like it was boiling up while swaying vigorously. The black gigantic waves were probably not inferior to a powerful Legendary magic spell. The target of all the gigantic waves was also the blue area in the middle of the island, making it look just like a volleyball court. The blue area was being bombarded to the point that it was impossible to stop.
The reinforcement fleet which Cantory had mentioned was no longer in sight around the island. The alchemical ships that dominated the sea had probably either sunk to the bottom of the sea or fled the sea in a mess. In such a battle, even the alchemical ships that could kill the sea beasts could not intervene at this point.
Is this the power of a true Sanctuary powerhouse!? Staring at the battle on Cage Island, Elvis and the others had an indescribable feeling in their hearts. They were well aware that although they and others stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, they probably would never have such destructive power.
At the same time, this kind of power also made them feel terrified, just like how ordinary people would feel an unstoppable powerlessness in the face of a natural disaster.
Be it Elder Zumar of the Gilded Kingdom or the ancient evil dragon sealed under Cage Island, the power shown gave them a great shock. They couldn’t help but look at Lin Li, who was standing at the front, and wondered if the power possessed by this young Sanctuary powerhouse was just as intimidating.
While the crowd was shocked by the battle on Cage Island, Lin Li was constantly analyzing the information he wanted to obtain by observing the battle. As a Sanctuary powerhouse who was the closest to the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, Lin Li managed to see the intertwining collisions of the Laws which revealed the strength of both sides of the battle, namely Elder Zumar of the Gilded Kingdom and the sealed ancient evil dragon.
Although judging from the scene, Elder Zumar of the Gilded Kingdom seemed to have lost the upper hand, and might even be on the verge of losing, Lin Li could clearly tell that Elder Zumar was not in that much danger.
However, the premise was that the ancient evil dragon that had been sealed would not suddenly increase the power and intensity of its attack. Otherwise, Elder Zumar would be in more danger. Of course, since the seal had been loosened, the power of the ancient evil dragon would definitely decrease gradually. However, there was a process for strengthening.
Through his mastery of the Laws, Lin Li could deduce the time needed for the process, so he could calm down and carefully observe the entire battle situation. After all, he didn’t want Elder Zumar to be defeated, either, as he was a true Sanctuary powerhouse, and would be of great help to him in dealing with that ancient evil dragon.
