As the void collapsed, several giant black shadows emerged. They seemed to be Void Beasts, legendary creatures unique to the Endless Void. Legend had it that the Nether Storms that gave even gods headaches were formed between the breaths of these Void Beasts. Once the barrier of a world began to decay, it would be time for the Void Beasts to appear and start feeding.
However, this time, Lin Li and Geresco’s battle caused a large patch of the void to collapse, awakening hidden Void Beasts in advance. Unfortunately, these Void Beasts, which only woke up once every 10,000,000 years, awakened to face a disaster of extermination.
The aftershocks of the collision between the six pieces of the debris of the stars and the Law Divine Kingdom spread millions of kilometres in the void. Before the Void Beasts in the void could react, they were torn into pieces by the aftershocks as soon as they woke up. Only a few Void Beasts at the edge of the area survived as they did not even dare to look over, and merely turned around to flee.
At this time, in the center of the battlefield, the light condensed from the six pieces of the debris of the stars had already shot over and stopped in front of Geresco, as if it was already attached to the tip of his nose. The Divine Throne of law turned into the most basic particles, and began to crumble layer by layer like a sandcastle.
.
At this point, Geresco no longer looked as relaxed as before as the frown on his forehead showed that the power of the six pieces of the debris of the stars shooting in unison had placed pressure and posed a threat to him.
Boom!
Geresco finally took a step back, followed by another, and then a third and fourth, each step spanning a distance of thousands of kilometers. Each step he took would make the void where he landed crumble, leaving ripples like a dragonfly that touched the water surface gently.
Of course, regardless of whether those existences in the void were Void Beasts or worlds of various sizes, every step that Geresco took was like an apocalyptic disaster. Under Geresco’s footsteps, almost nothing could exist as everything was destroyed in an instant.
After retreating several steps, Geresco slowly raised his arm, and stretched out a finger to point at the light of the six pieces of the debris of the stars, which immediately stopped in front of him. In an instant, the light that erupted almost filled that void, making Lin Li’s vision turn white everywhere, and only the sound of rumbling vibrations could be heard constantly.
What exactly do I do!? Lin Li’s heart had been tensed up since he shot the six pieces of the debris of the stars in unison, which was already the limit of what he could do. If he couldn’t defeat Geresco like that, it would probably be useless to try any harder.
At that moment, the six specks of light flew back around the Stars of Fury, and together with the last piece of the debris of the stars, Nothingness, they slowly revolved around the Stars of Fury. In front of Lin Li, the light that filled his entire field of vision gradually began to fade, and a figure gradually emerged from the fading light.
Geresco! Watching that figure appear, Lin Li’s heart sank into a bottomless abyss.
Although Geresco seemed to be somewhat wretched and disheveled, there was a wisp of a smile on his face, though it was unclear if it expressed smugness or contempt towards Lin Li.
“Is this your limit? If that’s the case, you might as well admit defeat.” Geresco, who had already retreated far away, returned to the previous position opposite Lin Li in the void in the blink of an eye. At the same time, the damaged Law Divine Kingdom also quickly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a huge Law Divine Throne once again appeared beneath Geresco’s body.
Yes, this is already my limit, what else can I do except admit defeat!? Lin Li lowered his head, looked at the Stars of Fury in his hand, and let the Chains of Law again surround all the sides. Lin Li and his City of Destruction were like two flies that had fallen into a spider’s web. Their final fate was to become a meal in the belly of the predator.
Lin Li had once thought that by holding the Stars of Fury in hand while gathering the debris of the stars, he would become the most powerful existence in the world, and be able to kill gods. However, in the face of the powerful Geresco, Lin Li finally felt how powerless he was.
Is this despair? In the past few years since Lin Li had transmigrated to Anril, he had experienced many battles with great disparities in strength between his opponent and himself, but he ended up being able to find a way to get himself out of the tricky situation every single time. However, this time, he did not know exactly what he should do. Launching six pieces of the debris of the stars in unison was already the limit of his mental strength, but he only wounded Geresco, so what else could be done but to admit defeat!
Geresco, who was standing in front of the Divine Throne of law, looked at Lin Li, as if he was waiting for something. However, in the end, his gaze dimmed slightly as he raised his hand and pointed at Lin Li, who had already lost his fighting spirit. Next, tens of millions of Chains of Law shot out from the Law Divine Kingdom like a swarm of snakes that were dancing wildly while rushing towards Lin Li like a flood of giant waves.
BOOM!
The crown of the Twin Trees of Eternity was the first to be hit, and they even seemed to have become much weaker, as if they had sensed the despair and desire to give up in Lin Li’s heart. Under the bombardment of those countless laws, the Twin Trees of Eternity lasted only for a moment before its branches and leaves withered like a dying tree.
Immediately afterwards, the canopy of the City of Destruction burst like a bubble as it barely played any defensive role. With the shattering of the canopy, the entire City of Destruction also became dull immediately, while the light of the mageweaths that were initially in full operation dimmed one by one.
The soul of Azardas the Dragon of Destruction transformed into a huge dragon shadow the size of the City of Destruction, and lunged at the thousands of laws. However, as soon as they touched, Azardas’ figure was instantly scattered like a reflection in water before it could roar.
Countless roars filled the air, as if the City of Destruction had been struck by a meteor shower, except that the aftermath was even more severe. All the buildings in the City of Destruction suffered a destructive bombardment. Houses collapsed in the roar, destroying all the meticulously arranged mageweaths and Magic Arrays.
However, the Omniscient Tower was still standing intact in the center of the City of Destruction as layers of light constantly emerged from the surface of the tower to repel all the attacks to the side.
At the same time, Lin Li’s Domain World seemed to also be facing an apocalypse as the sky collapsed and the earth crumbled, leaving all living beings in a state of endless panic. Meteors fell from the sky of the Domain World, destroying city after city, and the statues of the gods standing in the cities collapsed while wailing in pain.
Those who were lucky to survive began to pray to their gods, and even though the statues before them were only half-built, the gaze in their eyes still looked so devout. Praying in despair, their power of faith kept converging, allowing the entire Domain World to seem to be filled with the power of faith. At this point, the Domain World, which was illusory at first, also seemed to have become tangible and real.
Lin Li, who was in deep despair, suddenly felt a wave of power being injected into his body. It was a power that did not belong to any law, but one that was full of hope and expectation. In his mind, it was as if he could hear countless voices telling him their wishes without sounding chaotic.
Is this the power of faith? Strictly speaking, Lin Li should not have received the power of faith, since he did not ignite the Divine Fire yet. Without the burning of the Divine Fire, the power of faith would be like poison to him.
However, Lin Li did not resist it, and opened the floodgate to receive it, allowing the surging power to pour into his body like a flood. Gradually, the power of faith he received was not only from his own Domain World, but also from the hopes of all those who trusted him in Anril.
With the power of the Tower of Dusk and the Eternal Furnace, the mages of the Tower of Dusk in Doland fought fiercely against the Titans that had returned from the spatial rift. Although the battle seemed really difficult, all the mages still had faith in Lin Li, and they believed that he would eventually save the world.
The allied forces of the human race in the Sunset Mountains had already retreated to the temporary defense line, which the countless magical beasts of the Black Current were constantly impacting. The people of the Brilliance Shrine, Darkness Shrine, Felan Kingdom, Ledin Kingdom, and other forces were full of hope for the future while fighting the prehistoric magical beasts.
Even in the Endless Ocean, the Gilded Kingdom, the Illuminati, and several Sea Clans also seemed to be hoping for Lin Li’s appearance while fighting against the invading prehistoric magical beasts.
All these people, who had pinned their hopes on Lin Li, unknowingly manifested a power of faith. It wasn’t just faith in Lin Li, but more of a faith in hope, and Lin Li was the being on whom they placed their hopes.
Perhaps the power of faith produced in the illusory Domain World could not provide much help to Lin Li, but the power of faith from the real Anril was a true cohesion of the power of hope of all beings.
“This group of ignorant ants actually put their hopes on you. I wonder what kind of reaction they would have if they were to find out that you can barely save yourself now. As promised, come on and become one with me. Bear witness to my advancement to the Realm of Nothingness!” Geresco said with a cold smile, and with a flick of his finger, the countless Chains of Law instantly wrapped around Lin Li and the Omniscient Tower, seemingly trying to crush them.
As the Chains of Law tightened, the Omniscient Tower seemed to be groaning from inside as it was overwhelmed by the pressure. It was as if everything was going to end completely in the next moment.
However, at this juncture, a wisp of white flames suddenly emerged from the gap in the Chains of Law. Then, more and more flames followed, engulfing the Omniscient Tower and making it seem like a huge torch. The white flames were full of divine aura, and they licked the surrounding Chains of Law, which started breaking upon being set afire, just like ordinary chains.
With the collapse of the Chains of Law, the enveloped Omniscient Tower and Lin Li, who was standing on the tower’s terrace, were finally revealed again. However, white flames were spewing from Lin Li’s eyes, nostrils and ears, as if he was being burned from the inside out.
Lin Li’s Space Robe quickly turned into a pile of flying ashes under the burning of the white flames that enveloped every inch of his body. Every single pore of his skin was on flames, and he was just like a human torch.
It was because the power of faith had been ignited, and without tempering with Divine Fire, Lin Li’s mortal body simply wouldn’t be able to withstand the burning power of faith. However, Lin Li did not have the slightest intention to stop, and even continued to increase the absorption of the power of faith.
Lin Li’s body became hard and smooth yet covered with cracks like overheated glaze. Flames would erupt from the cracks from time to time and pop like firewood. Soon, even the Omniscient Tower and the entire City of Destruction were wrapped in the white flames of the burning power of faith, just like a blazing sun in the void.
At this time, Lin Li not only did not resist the burning of the power of faith, but also channeled all his mana into the flame, making it the fuel for the power of faith, but that was not enough. Lin Li opened the Ring of Endless Storm, and countless magical crystals flew out. Be it Legendary-level or Sanctuary-level crystals, they all surged into the power of faith like water.
After turning all the magical crystals into fuel, Lin Li added all sorts of rare and precious magic materials, including the Divinity Metal that he had brought from the Endless World, together with a large number of rare herbs like the black lotus. Finally, he even threw some magical equipment into the flames. In the blink of an eye, they were burnt down to nothing.
All that remained was a wisp of the purest power that merged into the ocean of Lin Li’s mental strength, which was already in overdraft, and seemed nearly dry after the six pieces of the debris of the stars were launched. Now it was getting filled up again under this massive infusion of power.
It’s not enough! It’s still not enough! Lin Li yelled in his heart, after which a staff flew out from the Ring of Endless Storms. It was the Moonlight Staff that only the High Elves’ lineage could use. It was the very same Moonlight Scepter that the Immortal King had brought from the Endless World when he transmigrated over using the Hunter avatar, and which subsequently became the High Elven queen’s exclusive staff. The Moonlight Scepter initially seemed to only serve as a token that was used to retrieve the Stars of Fury from the Great Whirlpool in Lin Li’s hand.
