Chapter 1161: Titan Sacred Relic
Although each of the balls of chaos was extremely large to humans, and seemed to be able to fit a dozen people, they simply seemed like small marbles in front of the tall Titan. The Titan turned the Titan Dragon Spear, and sent the marbles flying.
While the Titan Giant put its main focus on Edmund, Zumar and Poer, who were originally suppressed, finally got the chance to catch their breath. However, the situation left them with no time to rest. After sensing the slight decrease in pressure, they immediately launched a counterattack against the Titan as well.
At this juncture, a Light and Darkness Sword silently appeared behind the Titan, and was aimed at the Titan’s heart. When most of the Titan’s attention was caught by Edmund, a massive amount of power erupted from the Light and Darkness Sword, surging towards the target like a bolt of lightning.
The Light and Darkness Sword naturally came from Lin Li. However, it was like a small dagger compared to the Titan’s size. Still, if the dagger stabbed him, it would definitely be lethal. Hence, Lin Li specially kept his eyes fixed on the Titan’s chest.
Although the Titan had a powerful strength that was comparable to the ancient wyrms’, its simple physical defense was inferior to the ancient wyrms’. Hence, Titans often used the skin of the ancient wyrms they hunted to make strong leather armor for themselves. That was one of the main methods they used to improve their defensive capabilities.
However, the Titan was now topless, and only had wyrm armor covering his lower body. Hence, Lin Li got the idea to sneak an attack in a bid to use the sharpness of the Light and Darkness Sword to stab the Titan in his chest. The Titan was not an Undead creature. Once his chest was damaged, his power would definitely be impacted severely even if he wouldn’t die immediately.
Lin Li did not use a powerful World Sword, partly because he didn’t want to reveal his trump card too soon, and also because he didn’t want to end up becoming the main opponent of the Titan.
Besides, Lin Li believed that since Edmund and the others still insisted on bringing the crowd here after learning of the situation here, they would certainly have the means to deal with the Titan. After all, as one of the four saints of the Illuminati, Edmund was not so impulsive as to act without considering the consequences.
Hence, Lin Li was not the only one who held back in the battle; even the vampire Norfeller did not participate in the battle under his orders. Naturally, that was to the resentment of the people of the Gilded Kingdom, especially High Priest Poer, who had always harbored a grudge against Lin Li. His gaze seemed like he was about to eat someone up.
However, Lin Li would not bother about those things. No matter how others looked at it, he just wanted to obtain real benefits.
Lin Li’s Light and Darkness Sword secretly sneaked up to the Titan, and tried to stab him in his chest. It was just about to pierce through. However, at that moment, a mysterious rune suddenly emerged from underneath the Titan’s skin. After all, this was the first time Lin Li fought with a living Titan, and his knowledge of them was only from some information that he had read. There were still many unknown things, such as the sudden appearance of arcane runes.
With the appearance of the rune, countless thunderbolts emerged from the space around the Light and Darkness Sword, and charged towards the Light and Darkness Sword. In the blink of an eye, the Light and Darkness Sword that Lin Li used as a lethal weapon was destroyed by the bombardment of thousands of thunderbolts.
That was a Titan. Even when defending against the enemy’s attack, he would attack instead of passively defend. Although Lin Li’s Light and Darkness Sword was not as powerful as the World Sword, it was definitely of top power among the attacking means of the Sanctuary powerhouses. However, it couldn’t even endure for a moment under the blast of the magic runes.
However, those results were still within Lin Li’s expectations; although the Titan was also a peak Sanctuary powerhouse, it was much stronger than the four Envoys of Light previously. If the Titan could be killed so easily, why would the Titans ever compete with the ancient wyrms to dominate Anril?
The rune did not disappear after annihilating the Light and Darkness Sword, and instead began revolving rapidly while more and more thunderbolts came seeping into the void. In the blink of an eye, the entire space almost turned into a sea of lightning.
However, that was not all. Immediately afterwards, the Titan raised the Titan Dragon Spear, and roared loudly while 17 mysterious runes emerged from his body, making it a total of 18 runes that revolved around the Titan Dragon Spear. The thunderbolts in the space were almost condensed into liquid, and it was as if each drop contained the terrifying power to destroy the world.
Fortunately, the remaining members of both teams had retreated far away at the beginning. Otherwise, even the several Sanctuary powerhouses would not be able to protect them. Besides, the Sanctuary powerhouses who were fighting with the Titan also felt a massive pressure at this point as the range of their Domain World was almost compressed to the limit.
However, in the face of such a situation, Edmund did not seem anxious at all, and was instead gleeful. He then suddenly put away the scepter in his hand, and took out a staff that had an odd shape. It seemed to have been built with crystals under poor craftsmanship. The top of the staff was not set with any magical gemstones, but a large eyeball that was dried up.
Lin Li immediately recognized that eyeball to come from the Evil Eye Tyrant, whose magical crystal was one of the three things that he had obtained from Tutankhamun in addition to the Book of Eternity and the key to the inverted tower of the Sky Castle. The Evil Eye Tyrant’s magical crystal had now become a ring that would allow him to increase his mental strength continuously.
In addition to the magical crystal that could constantly help people improve their mental strength, the Evil Eye Tyrant also had another valuable attribute, and that was its eyeball that was full of evilness that could penetrate the heart of a person and create a variety of negative emotions so that people would unknowingly slip into them.
After taking out this oddly shaped staff, Edmund took out a crystal ball with his other hand. Of course, this crystal ball was not an ordinary crystal ball that mages used to monitor the surroundings, but one that was carved out of an unknown crystal.
Even the knowledgeable Lin Li could not recognize what kind of material was used in the crystal ball that Edmund took out. Besides, Lin Li was almost certain that not only was that material not found in Anril, he had never seen it in the Endless World before, either. However, the mana fluctuations emanating from that crystal ball were not unfamiliar to him. It was the kind of fluctuation that was very similar to the Power of Light that filled this space.
At this point, the Titan seemed to have sensed something too. The scattered power that originally attacked the Sanctuary powerhouses was violently retracted, while a dazzling serpent-shaped light was shot out of the Titan Dragon Spear, aiming at Edmund. All of a sudden, the lightning of the entire space was condensed, and the destructive power pounced on Edmund under the guidance of the Titan Dragon Spear.
On the other hand, when Elder Zumar and High Priest Poer saw Edmund taking out those two items, they could guess that he was going to use his trump card against the Titan, even though they were unsure of what those two things were. The Titan seemed to be wary of the items in Edmund’s hand, confirming their speculations.
Hence, Elder Zumar and Poer immediately launched a full-blown attack on the Titan tacitly without waiting for Edmund’s order. High Priest Poer waved his staff, and layers of frost emerged from the void with loud roars. Elder Zumar even cast the power of the Domain World, and a water dragon converged from the ocean of the Domain World. In an instant, the Titan’s massive body was enveloped too.
However, with the strength of Zumar and Poer, it would not be an easy task. It would be no exaggeration to say that even if they really put their lives on the line, they might not be able to make the Titan really see them as his match. Even though they were also at the Sanctuary-realm, they were just nobodies to him, and they belonged to insignificant existences that could be destroyed with a wave of his hand.
Under normal circumstances, their full-blown attacks would not be taken lightly. However, their attacks were just like mosquito bites to the Titan.
“President Felic!” Seeing that his attacks were unable to hold the Titan back, Elder Zumar couldn’t help but yell at Lin Li anxiously.
Although Lin Li didn’t want to make himself the Titan’s main opponent, it also depended on the time. Since Edmund already had the intention of using the trump card, it was naturally more important for them to cooperate with Edmund. Hence, Lin Li pointed the Sun King Scepter forward, and the Light and Darkness Sword condensed in the void. At this point, the Light and Darkness Sword was significantly more powerful. The size alone seemed to be able to split the Titan in half.
Besides, Lin Li had also added the power of the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, into his Light and Darkness Sword. Actually, it could no longer be called the Light and Darkness Sword. However, the power debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, was hidden in the depths of the sword, and even Saint Edmund might not be able to detect it.
Nonetheless, the Titan was very sensitive to the power of the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt. After all, the Titan’s power came from the thunderbolt that split the chaos and created this world. The debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, was just like the creation thunder, and it could be said that the nature of the two powers was similar to each other. Hence, the Titan could sense it easily.
The Titan who was trying to kill Edmund suddenly slowed down when he sensed that the Light and Darkness Sword coming behind him actually contained the extremely pure power of the creation thunderbolt. While turning the Titan Dragon Spear to collide with the Light and Darkness Sword with a look of horror, the Titan asked Lin Li, “Lowly human, what is my race’s sacred weapon doing in your hands!?”
Legend had it that the sacred relic of the Titans was a Thunderbolt Spear that was condensed from the residual power of the creation thunder after splitting the chaos to create the world. Every newborn Titan would be baptized by the power of the Thunderbolt Spear, and only after being planted with the seeds of the creation thunderbolt would he have the ability to absorb the power of lightning and condense the Titan Dragon Spear that uniquely belonged to oneself.
Of course, the Titan did not see the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, and had merely felt a very familiar power. Hence, he thought that Lin Li was holding the Titans’ sacred object. However, the Titan did not wait for Lin Li’s answer, and instead waited for Saint Edmund’s trump card.
Edmund was holding the staff inlaid with the eye of the Evil Eye Tyrant in one hand and the crystal ball carved out of an unknown crystal in his other while chanting a mysterious incantation. As he did, the crystal ball emitted a bright but not blinding light, and attracted the light in space. It seemed to be pulsating too. The eye of the Evil Eye Tyrant that was inlaid in the staff was also emanating millions of rays of bizarre light that shot at the head of the Titan.
In an instant, the Titan who had been shot by the bizarre light had a look of bewilderment in his eyes. Even the power of Titan in the nearby space seemed to pause momentarily. Although it was only a momentary change, it had created a perfect opportunity for Edmund. Immediately afterwards, the light in the space condensed into countless light chains and wrapped around the Titan’s body with the guidance of the crystal ball.
The Titan barely retaliated, and was instantly engulfed by the countless chains of light. It was just like prey that was caught by a spider, and it was almost tangled into a massive light cocoon.
