  Chapter 988 - Archery

  The battle was simply a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e for Garl. Not only did he not have to exert any effort, he could also constantly increase his strength by devouring the infantry troops. After devouring more than 10 of them, Garl even smacked his lips revoltingly and hiccuped ungracefully.

  "Disgusting, you disgusting bastard, do those tin cans even taste like anything!?" Angelano mocked rudely when he saw Garl stealing the limelight during the battle.

  Faced with Angelano's mocking, Garl naturally did not tolerate it. While controlling the magic spells cast by the enemies by devouring them, he retorted in a dull and low voice, "Shut up, you stinky dwarf. Even if you jump into my mouth yourself, I won't devour you, because you're disgusting."

  "Oh please, if you have what it takes, let's have a contest. Let's see if you're going to devour me or I'm going to beat you up, you ugly fellow!" Although Angelano possessed an excellent suit of armor to protect him, he was still carefully hiding in the team of the Tower of Dusk and stomping his feet while cursing at Garl.

  Among the members of the entire expedition, only Angelano and Garl had the time to argue with each other. The others were all frowning and feeling troubled because the enemies that they were facing at this moment were not just those human troops, but also others like the heavily armored cavalry, infantry troops, and mages. The enemies of various professions who were in different forms were also emerging from those floating specks of light.

  With a loud dragon roar, a group of Dragon Knights quickly expanded and emerged from the specks of light. The wyrms that they were mounting were obviously hybrids, but they still gave the people a great shock when they flew up into the sky around the expedition in a formation. The knights on the wyrms were also wearing heavy armor and raising their dragon spears that were each nearly 10 meters long. They were all emitting strong waves of power.

  The Dragon Knights first spat some flaming dragon breath attacks at the expedition before extending their long spears and charging towards them. The Alchemy Colossuses that were standing around the expedition naturally became the priority target of the Dragon Knights. The two parties soon collided violently.

  Legend had it that the Alchemy Colossuses were the best weapons for killing dragons. Unfortunately, that was not referring to the Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom. Although the Rotterdam Kingdom had researched, developed, and improved Alchemy Colossuses for thousands of years, their Alchemy Colossuses were far inferior to the Titan-level Alchemy Colossuses like Angelano's. They did not have to think at all. Being able to make their Alchemy Colossuses reach the Legendary-level was already very hard to come by.

  Clearly, those who could become Dragon Knights were also the powerhouses of that world. Their nearly 10-meter-long spears were engulfed in a layer of combat energy, and with just one dive, several Alchemy Colossuses that were attempting to dodge were stabbed in their c.h.e.s.ts. They managed to stab directly at the spots where the metallurgists were, though it was unclear if it was because the Dragon Knights understood the Alchemy Colossuses well or simply thought of them as some sort of creatures.

  Before the expedition could retaliate, the wyrms flapped their fleshy wings and spat dragon breath in unison at close range towards the expedition. By the time the expedition resisted the dragon breath, and was about to launch a counterattack against the Dragon Knights, the latter had already flown into the sky again, and began flying in circles, searching for a new target once again.

  "Hurry up and help, or we'll all be finished!" Seeing that the Alchemy Colossuses were damaged again, Donald yelled at the expedition again in anger. The Alchemy Colossuses were the greatest reliance of the Rotterdam Kingdom's team, but now they were completely destroyed in one go. Hence, it was a huge blow to the Rotterdam Kingdom's team. However, there was nothing they could do, since the characteristics of the Alchemy Colossuses had already decided that they had to remain in the periphery of the team and sustain the attacks. They couldn't possibly hide among the expedition team.

  Of course, the people of the expedition also knew that regardless of how useless the Alchemy Colossuses were, such a battle was inevitable. At least, that would prevent the mages from fighting the enemies head-on.

  At this moment, Connoris of the Tower of Dusk's team had already begun to show his prowess. He swung his Eternal Frost Blade that was shining with silver light at the Dragon Knights in the sky. A large Space Blade appeared out of nowhere in front of a Dragon Knight. Before the Dragon Knight could react, his back was instantly cut in half before falling like a meteor into the formation of the heavily armored infantry.

  With his perfect body, Connoris would be able to remain undefeated even in a fight with ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses. Although his power was not enough for him to join the battle between Lin Li and the Immortal King's incarnation, he was still strong enough to deal with the enemies that were attacking the expedition.

  Connoris' attack seemed to have caused the Dragon Knights to be wary of him, and thus they reduced their dive attacks. Instead, they remained in the sky and shrouded the team in dragon breath. However, that was nothing to Connoris. The power of the Eternal Frost Blade could almost make the range of the attack negligible. Rays of Space Blade light managed to slash the wyrms and Dragon Knights.

  Of course, it was certainly unlikely for them to change the dynamics of the battlefield with Connoris' power alone. The other Legendary powerhouses of the expedition had also joined the battle.

  Ujfalusi summoned the Tide of Death, and a large number of Undead creatures poured out to attack the enemies by outnumbering them. Although the Undead creatures were not capable enough, they could still form a strong force when a large number of them united. Most importantly, Ujfalusi's power improved again in the Undead World, and with the support of the massive mana that was at the peak Legendary-level, endless Undead creatures surged out from the Tide of Death.

  On the other hand, the Vampire Norfeller snuck out of the expedition team, and entered the enemy's ranks where he began to set out to kill the enemy commanders. A Legendary-level Assassin was an absolute nightmare for the enemy, and even those of other professions at the same level were rarely able to escape his assassination.

  Unfortunately, the enemies were not an ordinary army. Otherwise, they would have collapsed long ago due to the assassination of their commanders. However, their current enemies were almost indifferent to the death of their officers. They even began to take advantage of this by trying to lay traps to hold Norfeller back.

  The Crimson Humerus Wyrm, the Lord of Nightmares, and the Demon Gordon had also already gone on a killing spree against the enemy. The Crimson Humerus Wyrm's dragon breath formed a trench of flame through the enemy's camp. The Lord of Nightmares' Mind Control attacks had finally come in handy again. He was constantly controlling the enemies to decapitate their comrades.

  Such a battle was truly meant for Demon Gordon, whose body was made up of rare magical metals. The attacks launched by the enemy Warriors could not break through Gordon's defenses at all. Gordon transformed his arms into giant scythes, and killed numerous enemies at once.

  Compared to the Tower of Dusk's team that was launching numerous attacks from all sides, the situation that the teams from the Brilliance Shrine and the Rotterdam Kingdom were facing was less ideal. Almost all the Alchemy Colossuses had been defeated by the Dragon Knights. If not for Connoris, they would probably have all been destroyed by the Dragon Knights after a few waves of attacks.

  As for the Holy Light Knights of the Brilliance Shrine's team, they were still having difficulties holding out against the enemy's heavily armored knights despite having the enhancement of the Holy Light Battle Song and the support of the Holy Light Priests. Although the Holy Light Knights' power had been strengthened by the Power of Light, they were still facing a large number of heavily armored cavalry from the opposing side.

  A large colony of ants would be enough to bite an elephant to death. No matter how incompe
tent the enemy's heavily armored cavalry troops were, they were definitely stronger than ants, and the Holy Light Knights were not strong enough to be considered an elephant, either. Although the Holy Light Knights' battle damage ratio was more than a dozen to one, the Holy Light Knights lost their advantage because they were outnumbered.

  Moreover, the enemies were not just enjoying the numerical advantage, but they were also not inferior to the expedition in terms of quality. Soon, many Legendary powerhouses appeared and began to focus on suppressing the Legendary powerhouses of the expedition. There were Legendary-mages, Legendary Sword Sages, archers, orcs, and Shamans. Although the Legendary powerhouses were not from Anril, their power was definitely not inferior to the Legendary powerhouses of the expedition at all.

  Facing such a powerful enemy, none of the Legendary powerhouses of the expedition could slack off. Besides, even if they were just being attacked by the other party, Archbishop Martin and the others had no time to pay attention to the battle in the sky, and could only pray in their hearts that Lin Li would be able to destroy the opponent as soon as possible.

  It was fortunate the members of the expedition had no time to pay attention to the battle in the sky, otherwise they would probably have lost the confidence to continue fighting. Lin Li, whom they had pinned their hopes on, was now being suppressed by the Immortal King's incarnation, and he could no longer be described as just disheveled. After all, there was a difference of three levels between them.

  At this moment, the Domain World that Lin Li had formed using the debris of the stars already seemed to have been shattered under the brutal collision with the Immortal King's incarnation. It looked like it would collapse at any moment. Lin Li's robe was soaked in blood, and if it were not for his strong willpower, he would have long died under the incarnation's arrow.

  The opponents he had killed in the Endless World in the beginning probably felt the same as he did at this moment! Lin Li never thought that there would be a day when he would be reduced to such a pathetic and disheveled state. However, his enemies could respawn after their deaths in the Endless World—unlike him now. He could not be revived if he died this time.

  The incarnation of that Immortal King not only possessed a powerful World Domain, he also had excellent archery skills that were surprisingly the same as the game archery system of the Endless World. Besides, each technique was also thousands of times stronger than that of the Endless World in addition to having the same features.

  Chapter 989 - Barely Surviving

  The incarnation reached out and grabbed the Domain World, after which a ball of World Power turned into an arrow that was placed on the bow. The arrow was then launched at the sky and darted over their heads. With a loud sound of the bowstring vibrating, the arrow flew into the air and vanished, after which countless arrows fell onto Lin Li's domain like meteors.

  The arrows that were like a meteor shower were a wide-range skill that was not too powerful compared to the other archery skills of the Hunter. However, the power possessed by each of the meteor arrows here was almost at the Legendary-level. They shuttled through the space with whistling sounds before falling densely into Lin Li's domain.

  In Lin Li's Domain World, the earth shattered and the sky collapsed, resembling doomsday. The countless meteor arrows had sped up the destruction of this world. Amidst the endless explosions and roars, the entire World Domain was almost turned upside down as the earth and sky shattered into bits.

  Finally, Lin Li couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. The entire Domain World was filled with endless roars, and the seven pieces of the debris of the stars detached from the Domain World uncontrollably.

  Damn it, if this continues, it's really going to be over! Lin Li could not even be bothered to wipe away the blood at the corners of his lips. He activated his mental strength with all his might to regain control of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars so as to reconstruct his Domain World.

  However, at this moment, an arrow broke through the air and instantly appeared in front of Lin Li. Lin Li dodged it in time, and he manipulated the seven pieces of the debris of the stars to make them shield him. After a few loud roars, he managed to dodge the arrow by a hair's breadth. However, due to the delay, the Immortal King's incarnation had the time to launch another attack, leaving Lin Li with no time to reconstruct his domain.

  How could he continue fighting!? As a mage of the Sanctuary-realm, he couldn't even use his own domain. Even if he were to force himself to hold on, he would barely have a chance to turn the situation around. Lin Li couldn't care less about cursing the Immortal King anymore, as it was useless now that he could barely keep his own life.

  As Lin Li activated the Space Robe on his body, he was brainstorming for a strategy that he could use to deal with the matter and counterattack. Using the ability to flash and the defense of the debris of the stars, he managed to temporarily preserve his own life. However, he was completely clueless about what to do. After all, the gap in strength was too large, and could not be compensated for with any strategy.

  Potions? Alchemy Array? Mageweath array? Lin Li thought about his fortes, but he discovered to his dismay that even though he had mastered those aspects and it gave him prestige in Anril, none of them could save him at this time.

  Compared to Lin Li who was scurrying away and was in a huge mess, the Immortal King's incarnation looked much more composed and confident. Shrouded in the Domain World, he just had to grab arrows from the air which were condensed by the power of the world, and then shoot them at Lin Li effortlessly.

  However, after dodging several attacks from the Immortal King's incarnation, Lin Li suddenly had some doubts. At this moment, he no longer had the chance to reconstruct a Domain World, which was absolutely fatal for a mage in the Sanctuary-realm. The Immortal King's incarnation did not actually need to use arrows all the time. As long as he suppressed and defeated the Domain World, Lin Li probably would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.

  However, how could the Immortal King's incarnation not have thought of something so simple? Is he still intending to play the cat and mouse game at a time like this?

  He clearly had the chance to kill the opponent, but he instead chose to tease the opponent like a cat chasing a mouse. Usually, such people would end up dying a terrible death as that was something that only arrogant, conceited, and lowly fools would do. Besides, although the Immortal King's incarnation had gained sentience, he still was not like a complete human. How could he do such a stupid thing?

  Could it be that the Immortal King's incarnation is immobile? At the thought of this, Lin Li tried to flee a little further away, but the Immortal King's incarnation clearly immediately chased after him.

  Seeing this, Lin Li also found his previous conjecture to be ridiculous. As the owner of the Well of the Sun, the Immortal King's incarnation obviously wouldn't be stuck here.

  Lin Li originally wanted to try a little more, but when he looked over at the Immortal King's incarnation, he got a great shock, and immediately activated the power of his Space Robe. He then began flashing nonstop.

  It turned out that the incarnation of the Immortal King, who also seemed to be tired of the pursuit, actually pulled out a real piece of the debris of the stars from his Domain World, and placed it on his bow.

  The debris of the stars was a set of artifacts that contained the power of the origin of the world, and could kill even the Dragon of Destruction. Lin Li had never used the debris of the stars to kill his enemies before, and had never imagined how it would feel to be attacked by the debris of the stars. This time, the incarnation of the Immortal King was clearly going to give him a taste of it.

  The incarnation of the Immortal King had pulled out the debris of the stars, Raging Flames, from the Domain World. It was an arrow that was completely formed from flames. It was placed on the Stars of Fury, and Lin Li made some slight corrections to his vector. With the loud sound of the bowstring, the flame arrow chased Lin Li for
a long time, and looked as if it had lit up the entire space.

  The Immortal King's incarnation had undoubtedly inherited all of the Hunter's abilities, and had also seized the right opportunity and timing. When the red flames reached Lin Li, Lin Li could only grit his teeth, bite the bullet, and release his debris of the stars, Polar Snow, that went against Raging Flames.

  After a loud boom, Lin Li looked a little more miserable as he flew out from the explosion. However, to Lin Li, being able to escape the attack of Raging Flames was already something worth feeling fortunate for.

  However, although the situation just now was very frightening and dangerous, Lin Li did not seem happy about escaping at all. At the same time, he did not feel any nervousness or fear at all. He surprisingly became much calmer, which was not like him before.

  Yes, through that strike just now, Lin Li had felt that the Immortal King's incarnation's control of the debris of the stars did not seem to be as perfect as he had originally thought. It was also certainly because the Stars of Fury was not authentic, but more importantly, it was the problem with mastery. The Immortal King's incarnation's mastery and control over the debris of the stars seemed to be slightly worse than that of Lin Li when he was in the Endless World. Otherwise, with the Stars of Fury that was condensed with mana alone, Lin Li would not have been able to block the Raging Flames even if he also had the debris of the stars.

  The Immortal King's incarnation did not seem to want to give Lin Li too much time to think. After Raging Flames missed, he launched Polar Snow immediately. The power of Polar Snow was conflicting with that of Raging Flames, and after the arrow was shot, the cold air that was emitted made the surrounding space feel like a blizzard.

  Faced with the power of this arrow, Lin Li didn't dare to slack off at all. He quickly schooled his emotions, and released his debris of the stars to combat Polar Snow that was coming his way. There was another loud boom, and Lin Li, who was covered in pieces of ice, once again darted out of the explosion. Due to the fact that his Space Robe was covered in fresh blood, it was also frozen and became armor-like.
