"Since it's still under the restraints of the World Laws, it can only avoid the purification of Divine Power through some means. I want to give it a try. If it doesn't work once, I'll try again. If it still doesn't work, I'll try 10 more times. However, I still need you to cover me." After Lin Li finished speaking, he stopped continuing to cast the defensive magical spells without even waiting for Connoris to agree. He put away the Helios' Scepter, and replaced it with the debris of the stars, Holy Light.
"Hey, I haven't agreed! Atrocious…" Lin Li suddenly stopped, making the pressure that Connoris had to withstand surge by twice, leaving the Soul Trader with no chance to curse.
On Lin Li's side, a light array surrounding Holy Light instantly took shape, and as a ray of light gathered, a pillar of light which had power that was even more astonishing than before suddenly erupted. It also blasted into the body of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera at the speed of lightning.
With a loud bang, the dense fog of death aura that was surrounding the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera's body was clearly dispersed by the Divine Power. However, the Holy Light still did not cause any substantial damage to Sindera's body. Lin Li was disappointed, but he was not surprised. He did not slacken, either. He reached out to grab Connoris, and immediately triggered the power of the Space-related Magical Robe.
In the instant the two of them disappeared, the magical shield that Connoris had supported with all his might yet which was growing thinner shattered under the impact of the surging ice flames.
Lin Li bolted to another position together with Connoris, not allowing Connoris to say anything at all. He immediately said, "Continue!" At the same time, he raised Holy Light in his hand, and a light array that was full of holy aura once again condensed around Holy Light.
Having been moved to another position abruptly and losing the magical shield, Connoris felt that it was over for him. Based on his previous experience, a single layer of magical defenses could not block the offensive spells of the Iceblast Wyrm at all. However, after he put up the first shield and ushered in the impact of the massive wave of ice flames, he immediately understood what Lin Li said.
Indeed, the attack of such intensity was inferior compared to a level-26 or 27 Sanctuary powerhouse, let alone the Flame Dragon Lothar. That was the original power of the ancient wyrm that could best reflect the level of the ancient wyrm's abilities. As an ancient Demon deity, Connoris had a clear understanding of the ancient wyrms that had lived in the same era as him. He immediately had a general understanding of the strength of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera.
"How is it? What are your thoughts?" After blasting the Iceblast Wyrm with Holy Light, Lin Li did not immediately move away with Connoris. Instead, he continued to cast defensive magical spells while asking Connoris how he felt.

"Level-26 at most. It won't be higher than level-27. This is a normal level amongst the ancient Iceblast Wyrms. Is that guy not Sindera, then? Or did its strength drop after it turned into an Undead creature?" Connoris even began to suspect if he had identified it wrongly. After all, Prince Brahere only mentioned in his diary that he had captured an Iceblast Wyrm. However, he did not mention that it was Sindera.
However, Connoris had come from that era, and had actually seen the Iceblast Wyrm with his own eyes. Even though he hadn't had face-to-face contact with Sindera, he wouldn't mistake the king of Iceblast Wyrms.
"Level-26 or level-27 is far inferior to the Flame Dragon Lothar. We don't necessarily have no chance." Upon hearing that Connoris' analysis was similar to his, Lin Li felt much more confident.
The Sanctuary-realm was the process of evolution of mortals to gods. It might seem to be just a difference of two levels, but it signified a massive gulf in the realm. Those who were between level-25 and level-27 were powerful and often compared to the gods, but they were still considered mortals. At level-28 and level-29, they could have the power to break free of the World Laws and truly begin to step into the realm of gods. They could be considered half a step away from becoming true gods.
However, it definitely wasn't easy to take that step, because it meant that one would have to contend with the World Laws. The winners would break free from the restraint and become true gods, while the ones who failed would be ruthlessly crushed to pieces under the power of the World Laws.
Nefa, the descendant of the Dragon of Destruction, and the first high priest of the Darkness Shrine, Rogge, could be considered peerless powerhouses. However, they were suppressed by the Flame Dragon Lothar to the point where they were almost powerless to fight back some time ago. Besides, they were not the only ones. Even the Sanctuary powerhouses of Anril would be crushed in the same way when facing the Flame Dragon Lothar as long as they had not crossed that point.
If the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera was really an existence at the level of the Flame Dragon Lothar, there would be no need for the battle to continue, as it would be over once they get killed quickly. The half-god realm seemed to trample all of the World Laws. It was not something that a mortal could compete with.
However, if that was not the case, an ancient wyrm and ancient Demon deity would be bound to be restricted by the World Laws as long as they were in that world. No matter how powerful the opponent was, they would not have entirely no chance of winning as long as they were still restricted by the World Laws.
With that understanding, Lin Li was even more certain of the next step of his plan. As long as the opponent did not break free from the restraint of World Laws, the debris of the stars, Holy Light, which had a great restraining effect on Undead creatures, would undoubtedly be his main offensive weapon in the next battle.
At the thought of it, Lin Li suddenly stopped casting defensive magical spells, and instead reached out to grab Connoris' arm, once again moving with the robe.
"Try coming again!"
By the time Connoris complained, the two of them were already in a new position. The massive wave of ice flames was smacking at them. Under such circ.u.mstances, Connoris had no choice but to resign to fate. He chanted a series of demonic runes loudly, and a solid light curtain enveloped them.
"Boom!" The waves of ice flames smashed against the defensive curtain of light, and countless ice flame meteors also fell from the sky, causing the curtain of light to shake continuously. In the blink of an eye, it was already covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
Lin Li, on the other hand, was oblivious to all of that, and he still raised Holy Light in his hand with resoluteness in a bid to maximize the Divine Power in Holy Light.
"Sword of Judgment!"
The Sword of Holy Light that was several times larger than the Light and Darkness Sword instantly condensed in the sky above Lin Li, and even the clouds of ice flames that blocked the sky were forced to scatter to the sides by the radiance of the Sword of Holy Light. The Divine Power that was emitted from the Sword of Holy Light made those who felt it momentarily feel an urge to worship it.
At this moment, as Lin Li's arm fell, the Sword of Holy Light also slashed the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera with a thunderous momentum.
As soon as the sword fell, the dense fog of death aura surrounding Sindera's body quickly dissipated before it landed, revealing the appearance of the ancient Iceblast Wyrm. When the sword cut Sindera's body, it was accompanied by a huge roaring sound that splattered the ice ch.i.p.s everywhere, just as if the sword had really severed the Iceblast Wyrm in half.
However, could it really succeed? Seeing that the Sword of Holy Light had broken through the layers of obstacles and cut into the incomparably strong ice armor, even Lin Li could not help but panic. During the first few times, Lin Li's Holy Light penetrated the ice armor, but it had always somehow lost its effect at the last moment. This time, he wonde
red if he would fail again despite using an even more powerful Sword of Holy Light.
At this moment, the Sword of Holy Light had penetrated the ice armor, and was about to cut into the flesh of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera. However, a ball of black substance spread out all of a sudden, sealing the cracks in the ice armor.
The dense fog of death aura had already been washed away by the power emitted by the Sword of Holy Light because Lin Li could see it clearly this time. It was that black mass, which looked like smoke and mist, and also like black flowing water, that turned out to be what completely separated the Divine Power of the Sword of Holy Light and the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera.
Obviously, the Holy Light Judgment that had been cast several times before must have been blocked by that black mass as well! Without a doubt, Lin Li was filled with disappointment, but his eyes immediately lit up again because that at least proved that he and Connoris had guessed correctly. The Iceblast Wyrm would be restrained by the Divine Power. The latter was just blocked by the black mass.
Chapter 891 - Awakened Sindera
No matter what that black thing was, and regardless of whether they were going to attack or avoid it, the situation would definitely be reversed dramatically as long as the Divine Power took effect on the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera! Lin Li was not dejected at all. He reached out to Connoris who was beside him, and their figures instantly disappeared.
In the following battle, Lin Li almost completely transformed into a devout believer of Light, and continuously exhibited all sorts of Holy Light Magic spells.
No one could imagine that one of mages who had always been known as blasphemers would change drastically, and become a believer of Light proficient in all kinds of Holy Light Magic spells. That was probably the most crazy, ridiculous thing in the world. Upon sight of the power exhibited by Lin Li, everyone even began to suspect if Lin Li was an undercover agent who was sent to the Guild of Magic by the Brilliance Shrine. They wondered if he was actually a member who was on the same level as an archbishop in the Brilliance Shrine.
After thinking about it, they felt that it was possible that Lin Li could be Rosario's illegitimate son because he could use Holy Light Magic and had the support of the Brilliance Shrine. Rumor had it that he was also protected by the Holy Paladins. As they watched Lin Li continuously cast the Holy Light Magic, the other Legendary powerhouses began making guesses while supplementing their defensive magic spells.
Lin Li did not have that much time to care about what others thought, but despite having discovered the secret of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera, things didn't go smoothly for him, either. He cast the Holy Light Magic a few times, and watched the power of the Holy Light pass through the ice armor, which was followed by the diffusion of the black mass that instantly blocked the Divine Power.
On the other hand, Lin Li and Connoris seemed to have caught the attention of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera. The pressure that they were under also increased significantly. Whenever Connoris was covering for Lin Li, he would find it extremely difficult to keep up with the support. Even his perfect body seemed to be somewhat unable to withstand the overdraft, which made him experience it again after a long time.
"Does it work or not? That guy is clearly focusing on attacking us with increasing intensity. If this goes on, I won't be able to hold on any longer. Why don't we just pause!?" Connoris exclaimed at Lin Li in exasperation while casting defensive magic spells.
Lin Li was well aware of the current situation, and was rather anxious as well. However, could they really stop? At this moment, Lin Li truly missed the days in the Endless World where he would enjoy the company of the Stars of Fury during all his battles. Unfortunately, the Stars of Fury was still nowhere to be found even though the seven pieces of the debris of the stars had already been assembled. Otherwise, he would be able to kill the Iceblast Wyrm with any piece of the debris of the stars so long as he had the Stars of Fury.
However, he could only fantasize about it now! Lin Li sighed and reached out to grab Connoris before moving to another position.
In the beginning, everyone was thrilled to see Lin Li and Connoris counterattacking against the Iceblast Wyrm, especially when they felt that the pressure they were withstanding seemed to have weakened a little. They pinned their hopes on the two, but as time passed, Lin Li who released Holy Light Magic couldn't do anything to the Iceblast Wyrm at all. In fact, he couldn't even cause any minor injuries. They could no longer control the fear and despair spreading in their hearts.
If the situation continued, they could imagine that Lin Li and Connoris would be the ones to fall in the end. After the Iceblast Wyrm killed the two of them, they would no longer survive.
After all, the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera was a true Sanctuary powerhouse. Even if it couldn't reach the level of the Flame Dragon Lothar, its level-26 or level-27 power was not to be belittled. When it focused all of its strength on Lin Li and Connoris, the two of them were immediately put in an incredibly difficult situation.
However, Lin Li did not give up. Every time he cast the Holy Light Magic spells, he would stare intently at the changes in the black mass below the ice armor, hoping to find a regular rhythm or pattern. Connoris did not stop complaining. He simply covered Lin Li and tried his best to fend off the attacks of the Iceblast Wyrm. He seemed to be having a much harder time than Lin Li.
Although the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera had already lost its sentience, its Sanctuary-level battle instincts had not weakened in the slightest. Seeing that Lin Li and Connoris had continuously used their spatial movement abilities to move around like flies encircling it, it refused to tolerate that behavior even though it was no longer sentient.
However, just as the Iceblast Wyrm let out a high-pitched roar and gathered a terrifying power that could destroy the heavens and earth in a bid to kill Lin Li and Connoris in one go, Lin Li took the opportunity of the momentary pause. Refusing to give up, he maximized the power of Holy Light, and once again exhibited the Judgment of Light that could purify all filth and evilness in the world.
Before the Iceblast Wyrm could launch its attack, the pillar of light that emitted holy aura immediately passed through all hindrances, and blasted the massive body of the Iceblast Wyrm. However, when everyone had lost hope and even Lin Li was no longer confident, he suddenly discovered that there was an almost undiscoverable pause when the black fog under the ice armor spread out and was about to block the Divine Power.
Perhaps it was because the Iceblast Wyrm had used too much power, or perhaps there was another reason, but the minor pause in the diffusion of the black fog finally prevented it from blocking the Judgment of Light. Next, there was a full outbreak of Divine Power, and the dazzling light spread rapidly to the entire body of the Iceblast Wyrm. It even engulfed it entirely.
At this moment, everyone was stunned, and despite the incomparably dazzling light, everyone refused to take their eyes off the scene. They kept their eyes fixed even though they were tearing up because of the glare. It was as if they were desperately trying to see through the light to find some hope of changing their destiny.
"Howl!"
A dragon roar was once again heard coming from the light, but they could tell that it was vastly different than before. It seemed to contain the vicissitudes of the prehistoric times, the arrogance of being above the heavens and earth, and fury that made everyone tremble.
Originally, the crowd didn't think that the Judgment of Light that Lin Li cast would be able to finish off the powerful Iceblast Wyrm with just one strike. However, they could now feel the immense rage of the Iceblast Wyrm, which made them feel even more nervous. They were worried that Lin Li might provoke the Iceblast Wyrm without hurting it. Should that be the case, they would all be finished.
As soon as the dragon roar sounded, the entire space became tumultuous, and the ocean of ice flames above and below them retreated immediately like a tidal wave. Rumbling sounds could be heard, resembling the sounds of galloping horses. When all the icy flames disappeared, th
ere was some golden light in the Divine Power that engulfed the Iceblast Wyrm. The golden light expanded like a drop of ink in water, gradually replacing the silvery-white Holy glow. It looked as if a golden sun had risen in this sky.
"Boom!" The golden light exploded, and a massive figure of a dragon replaced the original Iceblast Wyrm, sweeping through the heavens and earth with its massive power. Although it looked exactly the same as the previous Iceblast Wyrm, it had a different vibe. It no longer seemed emotionless and lifeless like a zombie. Instead, it was filled with intense fury and the joy of regaining freedom.
That was the real Sindera, which was the king of the ancient Iceblast Wyrms, and was second only to the five Dragon Aspects. It was a powerful existence that was halfway to becoming a god. Lin Li could completely feel the powerful aura of a powerhouse that was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, just like the Flame Dragon Lothar. It looked down on the world arrogantly, and was incomparably domineering.

Lin Li had no means to find out what happened to Sindera, but he still couldn't let his guard down. After all, he had seen the Flame Dragon Lothar, and knew that it was unreasonable. God knew if Sindera was just like the Flame Dragon Lothar that had fallen into deep sleep.
