Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master - Chapter 1167

Chapter 1167: Nothing to be Done

Seeing that the Radiant-winged Giant Python had effortlessly destroyed the attack that they had cast with all their strength, Zumar and Poer were so vexed and distraught that they almost vomited blood. That was a true difference in strength. The massive gap was not something that could be closed just by working hard.

Just as the Radiant-winged Giant Python used the strange white light to eliminate the enormous and powerful waves that Zumar and Poer had joined forces to cast, Lin Li’s World Sword had already traversed the void, and chased after the Radiant-winged Giant Python before slashing its skull.

When the World Sword slashed downwards, even the space could not withstand the pressure of the force of the world. Spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on it. Not to mention magical beasts, even if it was a mountain, the World Sword would be able to slash it in two.

Once the World Sword reached the head of the Radiant-winged Giant Python, dazzling rays of light began to emerge from the radiant wings on its back before engulfing its body, making it look like a light cocoon. Immediately afterwards, the World Sword also slashed the light cocoon, immediately resulting in a vigorous shock in the space. Spatial cracks quickly spread out in all directions, and it was as if a hole had been formed in the sky.

The light cocoon that was wrapped around the Radiant-winged Giant Python also sunk because of the force of the World Sword, and it almost fell to the ground. At the same time, the surface of that light cocoon was instantly covered with cracks of various sizes. It was as if it would disintegrate with a gentle touch.

However, all of that was just a merry wish in the hearts of the people. When the World Sword rose again, and was about to land on the light cocoon, it actually began to crumble into bits despite looking extremely strong. No one knew what was going on.

In particular, Lin Li was shell-shocked because he was the one who cast the World Sword, and so had a clearer feeling of the impact in the World Sword than others. The collapse of the World Sword was not due to the force of the recoil—there was no recoil that could make the World Sword shatter into bits like a porcelain vase.

The World Sword was cast using Lin Li’s own Domain World, and unlike the Light and Darkness Sword that only combined the extreme powers of light and darkness, it contained all the Laws that constituted the world. All the Laws in the World Sword were closely connected to each other, just like the relationship between the laws in the real world. How could such a World Sword collapse and disintegrate simply because of the power of recoil?

In fact, when the World Sword touched the light cocoon of the Radiant-winged Giant Python, Lin Li already felt that something was amiss. During that moment of contact, Lin Li felt a strange power seeping into the World Sword through the contact point, and as the power infiltrated the sword, there was immediately an uncontrollable change in the various Laws that constituted the World Sword.

The power was not massive, but it was just like a virus. When it seeped into the World Sword, it contaminated the laws while growing rapidly alongside them. If Lin Li wanted to eradicate that power, he would have to also eradicate all the laws in the World Sword that were tainted with that power.

Hence, that resulted in the collapse of the World Sword. On the one hand, it was because of the influence of that power, and on the other hand, it was because Lin Li had taken the initiative to forgo a portion of the power of the World Sword.

However, in the eyes of Edmund and the others, it was quite an intimidating scene. They did not know what had happened, and merely saw that the World Sword, which they had learned to contend against, had shattered under the recoil resulting from a collision with the light cocoon of the Radiant-winged Giant Python. In that case, how terrifying must the strength of the Radiant-winged Giant Python be?

Edmund and the others did not suspect that Lin Li might have faked it. After all, it was a matter of fact that the World Sword had blasted the Radiant-winged Giant Python’s light cocoon to the point of almost shattering. They could at least tell from that that the power of the World Sword was far beyond theirs. Now that something like that had happened, they could only say that the strength of the Radiant-winged Giant Python was really too unexpected.

At this moment, the light cocoon, which had been cracked by the World Sword, suddenly gave off millions of rays of light which were even more powerful than the Magical Crystal Cannons of the Gilded Kingdom as they bombarded the surroundings unrestrainedly without a specific target.

At this point, Lin Li had already canceled the World Sword, which had more than half of the mana consumed in the attempt to dispel the bizarre power. Even if they had power that was far greater than ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses, the loss still caused him to be hurt.

However, seeing the Radiant-winged Giant Python launch another terrifying attack, Lin Li could not care less about the loss of the World Sword. He hurriedly activated his Space Robe, and his figure began to continuously flicker in space, dodging the dense rays of light that were being shot over.

When Lin Li first obtained the Space Power, he had to inevitably make preparations before he unleashed the power in it. However, he was now a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, and he could use the power of the Space Robe like it was his own, especially after obtaining Geresco’s inheritance in the inverted tower. It would not be overboard to say that he could move it like it was his arm.

Although the Radiant-winged Giant Python emitted beams of dense light at a quick speed, the power of Lin Li’s Space Robe allowed him to constantly flash back and forth between the gaps, letting him survive several close shaves with death.

However, compared to Lin Li, the situation faced by Edmund and others was less than favorable. The laws of space and time could be considered the most profound and arcane of all. Not everyone who stepped into the Sanctuary-realm would be able to comprehend them. In fact, not to mention the Sanctuary powerhouses, even the average god-level powerhouse might not be able to comprehend and master the laws of space and time.

Hence, Edmund and the others naturally failed to dodge the dense bombardment of the Radiant-winged Giant Python as they could not flash around like Lin Li. All they could do was try to evade as much as they could, and use their Domain Worlds to resist the attacks they couldn’t dodge.

It wasn’t too bad for Edmund, who was at least powerful enough as a Sanctuary powerhouse, and could resist the Radiant-winged Giant Python. Although it was not effortless, it wasn’t a Herculean task for him. However, Zumar and Poer were in huge trouble. Their Domain Worlds had countless holes blasted in them.

Seeing this scene, Edmund began to panic. Although he was also tied up, he didn’t want to lose two Sanctuary-realm subordinates here. Hence, he stopped dodging, and used the Domain World to resist the Radiant-winged Giant Python’s attacks while raising his Chaos Scepter, and quickly chanting an incantation in the ancient language of the Titans.

With the chanting of the incantation, Edmund’s Domain World immediately began to change, and quickly condensed into a large statue of chaos. The statue was hundreds of meters tall, and had six arms on its back, holding a variety of weapons. Its body was also engulfed by a dim light fog, which was impenetrable even for the light of the Radiant-winged Giant Python.

However, the Chaos Statue was also a little translucent, and Edmund could vaguely be seen. He was in the chest area of the statue, and appeared as if he was driving an Alchemy Colossus. After the successful condensation of the Chaos Statue, there was some faint divine power, but it was not controlled by Edmund. Instead, it was a wisp of divine power that descended from the sky.

The Chaos Statue that Edmund condensed attracted a wisp of divine power, and it was as if the God of Chaos had descended. Although there was only a wisp of divine power, it allowed the statue to become extremely sturdy as mana condensed. It could perhaps resist Lin Li’s World Sword without any problems.

When the Statue of Chaos appeared, Lin Li couldn’t help but secretly be amazed. Indeed, Edmund’s strength was not to be underestimated, since he could become one of the four saints of the Illuminati. When dealing with the Ice Phoenix, Edmund could have killed it easily if he had condensed that Statue of Chaos.

However, Lin Li could also guess that Edmund must have paid a huge price to condense the Chaos Statue. Otherwise, facing the Winged Angels that appeared afterwards and even the Titan Cronos, the expedition would not have needed to go to such great extents. Once the Chaos Statue was revealed, it would at least be much easier, even if it would not make them invincible.

The first thing that Edmund did was to save Zumar and Poer, who were already in danger. However, just as Edmund manipulated the Chaos Statue, and moved closer to Zumar and Poer, he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him. The six arms of the Chaos Statue could only make it in time to cross their weapons and make a defensive stance before they felt an unstoppable force coming from behind them.

Upon hearing the loud explosive sound, the massive body of the Chaos Statue was actually blasted by that huge force, and tumbled forward in a disorderly manner. However, Edmund seized the opportunity and turned around, only to realize that the Radiant-winged Giant Python in the light cocoon had somehow come behind him.

The Radiant-winged Giant Python managed to slap Edmund’s Chaos Statue far, far away with a single whip of its tail, and before Edmund could stabilize his body, it pounced over again like a bolt of lightning. One was a python that was hundreds of meters long, and the other was a statue that was hundreds of meters tall. Neither of them used any magic spells, and it was just like an ordinary fight between gangsters.

Fortunately, with the appearance of the statue, the millions of beams of light that bombarded them maniacally also stopped. At this moment, Elder Zumar and High Priest Poer could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but they still could not intervene in the battle between Edmund and the Radiant-winged Giant Python.

Although Lin Li didn’t go up and engage in close combat with the Radiant-winged Giant Python like Edmund, he didn’t stay idle, either. There were several rays of dazzling light emitting from the Helios’ Scepter that Lin Li was holding, and at the same time, all sorts of powerful magic spells were continuously blasting at the two parties battling. Although Edmund and the Radiant-winged Giant Python were entangled, Lin Li did not have to worry about friendly fire, because he had good control over magic spells.

Of course, even Lin Li’s World Sword didn’t manage to cause substantial damage to the Radiant-winged Giant Python, let alone the other magic spells, which could barely hurt the Radiant-winged Giant Python. The others thought that Lin Li was being foolish by wasting mana, and felt that it would make more sense to find a way to accumulate power to deal the Radiant-winged Giant Python a hard blow.

At this juncture, the battle between Edmund and the Radiant-winged Giant Python had also reached a cooldown stage. However, those who were not blind would be able to see that Edmund’s Chaos Statue would not be able to sustain battling for a long time. In just a few minutes of fighting with the Radiant-winged Giant Python, the Chaos Statue was no longer as majestic as before, as four of its six arms were snapped, while its body was covered in wounds of various sizes. In particular, there was a deep pit in the chest of the Chaos Statue, and it almost exposed Edmund who was hiding within.

The scene made everyone panic. If even Edmund’s Chaos Statue was defeated, there would really be no hope for everyone. However, there was no point in being flustered for no reason. No one could condense a powerful Chaos Statue like Saint Edmund previously, unless another Saint joined in. Besides, their attack spells were all just like tickles to the Radiant-winged Giant Python, and wouldn’t even catch its attention.

“President Felic, what else can you do? Use all your possible means now!” Edmund knew that he was already on the verge of giving way, and he could no longer care about his pride at this point. Unlike the others, he didn’t think that Lin Li was being silly and doing useless work, but rather felt that Lin Li had to have a reason for doing so. He thought that Lin Li was very likely to be looking for the weakness of the Radiant-winged Giant Python.

As expected, right after Edmund shouted, Lin Li, who had been constantly moving around them, also suddenly stopped. At the same time, the Helios’ Scepter disappeared from his hand, and was replaced by a silver crossbow. The fact that a mage chose to use a crossbow instead of a scepter was baffling to the crowd.

However, Lin Li did not have the slightest intention to explain as he simply aimed the crossbow at the Radiant-winged Giant Python, and resolutely activated the mechanism. Immediately afterwards, a bolt of lightning darted towards the chest of the Radiant-winged Giant Python.

The black ray of light seemed ordinary, but Edmund, who was in its attack range, could sense something that the others could not. At the instant that the black light surged over, he felt like there was boundless darkness closing in on him, and trying to devour his soul and will while he was unable to resist.
