Chapter 1264: Suppression
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
However, of course, when the water struck Lin Li’s Domain World, it simply passed through almost without any hindrance, as if the Domain World was no longer existent. Water then surged in from all directions with a terrifying power, converging at the spot where Lin Li was, just like a bunch of bulls colliding. However, the power was more than a million times stronger, and it immediately formed a huge vortex.
However, Lin Li, who was at the center of the impact, was not affected in the slightest. Not only was his body undamaged, he didn’t even move a single inch. He was still drawing the mageweath with great speed, the various magic patterns flickering with the light of mana.
Of course Lin Li wouldn’t be affected. Just as the attack was about to reach him, he had already completed the Void of the Stars technique that Geresco had once performed. In this moment, his body was already anchored in the void and completely unaffected by the power of this world.
Under the terrifying pressure of the water, Lin Li initially didn’t dare to cast the Void of the Stars Technique at all. After all, it couldn’t be launched immediately. Being subjected to the enormous water pressure around him, he would be crushed by the millions of tons of hydrostatic pressure even if there was a hole that opened for only a one-thousandth of a second after he cast the Void of the Stars.
In a bid to kill Lin Li in one fell swoop, the Ancient God of Water tried to accumulate more power to launch a terrifying attack, but ended up giving Lin Li the opportunity to cast the Void of the Stars.
There was a flaw to the Void of the Stars. It allowed Lin Li and the Ancient God of Water to exist in what seemed like two separate spaces, and thus the Ancient God of Water couldn’t attack Lin Li, but Lin Li couldn’t attack it, either. However, what Lin Li had to do now was not to counterattack against the Ancient God of Water, but to take the opportunity to complete his Mount Tai mageweath. He knew very well that even if he gathered the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, he still wouldn’t be able to hurt the Ancient God of Water at all, and the Mount Tai mageweath was the only possible way he could win.
However, the Ancient God of Water was not completely powerless against Lin Li’s Void of the Stars technique. More than 100 majestic palaces emerged from the Water Divine Kingdom, with a statue of the Ancient God of Water in front of each of them. Next, the statues suddenly began to flash, and a massive Magic Array appeared in the center above the hundreds of statues, placing Lin Li in the middle.
With the appearance of the Magic Array, Lin Li immediately felt that an inexplicable force had landed on his body in the void. That gave Lin Li a huge fright. The Void of the Stars technique required one to attach their physical body to a certain layer, and if one wanted to attack the caster of the Void of the Stars, they would have to identify the layer of void that his body was in. That was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, Lin Li did not expect that the Ancient God of Water had not only mastered the elemental laws of water to the extreme, but also had a profound understanding of the laws of space. Hence, he managed to quickly locate the void where Lin Li’s physical body was.
However, when Lin Li thought about the Ancient God of Water’s identity, he felt that it did make sense, after all. It was an ancient god that was far above the other gods. How could ancient gods possibly rely on their inherent mastery of the nomological power? Even the ordinary gods did not purely master only the laws that allowed them to become gods, but rather they also had knowledge of some other laws.
No one could become a god just by mastering a single type of law. Even if one specialized in a certain law, they would still have to understand other laws in order to deepen their comprehension of this one law they specialized in. Hence, even the God of Fire, God of Earth, God of Botany, and so on had a far greater comprehension of the laws than mortals of the Sanctuary-realm.
Faced with Lin Li’s Void of the Stars technique, the Ancient God of Water instantly found the void in which Lin Li was hiding. Next, water surged into it with massive power, almost ripping apart that layer of void. With a single flash of the light on Lin Li’s body, Lin Li was forced out of the void, and propelled back into the space where the Ancient God of Water’s Divine Kingdom was.
However, Lin Li didn’t panic much this time. Looking at the mighty and majestic Ancient God of Water in the Divine Kingdom, he reached out to add the last magic rune to the mageweath in front of him.
In an instant, the Mount Tai mageweath erupted with a dazzling light, and transformed from a mageweath that was the height of a human into a golden net that covered the sky and the earth in the blink of an eye. 36,000 mageweaths began spinning slowly in the sky like a millstone. The hundreds of thousands of magic runes flashed continuously like stars in the sky. A strange, massive power that didn’t belong to this world engulfed the Water Divine Kingdom.
Under the oppression of the Mount Tai mageweath, the Water Divine Kingdom, which was already filling up the entire space, was instantly suppressed without any power to retaliate. It then began falling like a tide. The sky and sun were revealed, but the power didn’t seem to subside. Instead, it began landing at an increasingly quick speed.
The Ancient God of Water, who was standing in the Divine Kingdom, raised his hands and roared while being overwhelmed by the nomological power of water, seemingly trying to block the oppressive force. Although the otherworldly force wasn’t stronger than the Ancient God of Water, he couldn’t resist it.
The Water Divine Kingdom began shrinking bit by bit, gradually turning into a domineering and majestic ancient city that surfaced around the Ancient God of Water. It had walls that were over 30 meters high, and was larger than the capital of the Gilded Kingdom, though much smaller compared to the boundless Divine Kingdom. However, even so, the ancient city began to seem a little warped and faint under the suppression of that Mount Tai mageweath, as if it would disappear at any moment.
At this moment, the Ancient God of Water suddenly roared, and stomped his left foot, after which the Divine Kingdom shrunk and almost compressed the ancient city to the point of crumbling. However, the remains gathered into a huge force that struck the Mount Tai mageweath in the sky.
In an instant, numerous roars filled the air, and several pure yet massive clusters of nomological power charged into the sky before exploding under the obstruction of an invisible power. If the terrifying power were to fall on Four Seasons Island, a few blows would probably be enough to blast it into ashes. However, it wasn’t effective here at all.
With both hands in the air, the Ancient God of Water still couldn’t stop itself from falling. The tendons on its body were bulging, and even the massive power that was constantly surging towards its hands could be seen. However, in the air where its hands were, the power of the Mount Tai mageweath was not affected at all, and it seemed to be constantly pressing downward.
Lin Li stood in the void and watched coldly as the Ancient God of Water was suppressed by the power of the Mount Tai mageweath. At the same time, he was sensing the powerful mana fluctuations, which were gradually becoming inconspicuous. Eventually, countless rays of golden light were cast on the massive body of the Ancient God of Water, suppressing the latter’s power bit by bit until it turned into a mass of light, just like the gods being suppressed outside.
Lin Li had created the Mount Tai mageweath with his mana and mental strength, which was very different from drawing on a scroll with inscription ink. Hence, Lin Li’s mental strength immediately charged into the light mass that the Ancient God of Water transformed into through the mental strength connection with the Mount Tai mageweath.
The Ancient God of Water’s willpower in the mass of light had already been completely suppressed, and what was left was the Origin of Water that the Ancient God of Water had mastered. The Origin of Water could be considered the purest elemental laws of water and the power source of the Ancient God of Water. More importantly, it contained the divinity of the ancient god.
Although Lin Li had the debris of the stars, Polar Snow, and the elemental laws of water that it contained were not inferior to those of the Ancient God of Water, it was impossible to penetrate it using his mental strength. Besides, Lin Li could also sense that the seven pieces of the debris of the stars actually also had their own willpower. However, their willpower was different from that of ordinary people. It was a willpower that was high above all beings in the world.
However, the willpower of the debris of the stars seemed to be in a dormant state. Hence, Lin Li did not dare to casually probe it using his mental strength.
However, the Origin of Water was different. The willpower of the ancient gods had already been suppressed, and the remaining Origin of Water was just like a masterless power. Lin Li was at ease, and it could even be said that he could use his mental strength to search and probe everything without any scruples.
After sometime, perhaps a moment or a much longer period of time, Lin Li finally withdrew his mental strength from the Origin of Water. At the same time, he let out a long sigh of relief. To him, the Origin of Water boasted great benefits, and it allowed his mastery of the elemental laws of water to improve by leaps and bounds. The various issues that he’d previously encountered in mastering the elemental laws of water seemed to have been resolved perfectly at this moment.
Besides, the Origin of Water also contained the divinity of an ancient god, which was a great guidance for Lin Li in achieving godhood. Although he wouldn’t take the path that the Ancient God of Water did, being able to understand some information about the ancient gods and other deities in advance through the divinity in it would also be an important inspiration for him.
Of course, Lin Li didn’t let go of the Origin of Water, and instead he stowed it away into his Ring of Endless Storm. Although it contained the divinity as well as the will of the Ancient God of Water that was suppressed, and Lin Li could not think of a way to use it yet, he couldn’t let that be a reason to dispose of it.
As the will of the Ancient God of Water completely disappeared from this space, its original appearance was restored, and once again there were violent movements. The original island where Lin Li stood suddenly began to grow in all directions, rapidly eating away at the space that initially belonged to the sea.
However, a few breaths later, the sea that was originally boundless actually turned into a barren land right in front of Lin Li, without a single trace of seawater left. Immediately afterwards, a giant that seemed to be made of rock slowly stood up in the middle where the island was originally located.
With a loud roar, the entire land changed once again. Mountain ranges and several giant mountain peaks began to rise as if they had come to life. The longest mountain range was almost invisible at a glance, and the tallest peak seemed like a sharp sword that was piercing into the sky.
The Ancient God of Earth!
Seeing the changes in the environment, coupled with the divine aura that was emanating from the other party’s body, Lin Li immediately knew that it was the Ancient God of Earth who inherently mastered the laws of earth.
Almost at the same time that the Ancient God of Earth appeared, Lin Li felt a powerful force that shrouded him. Although it was unclear if it was a pulling force or pressure, Lin Li was dragged downwards towards the ground forcefully. That was actually the Gravity Spell, which everyone mistook the Mount Tai Magic Scroll for during the auction. However, the Gravity Spell, which the people belittled, actually seemed different when cast by the Ancient God of Earth.
In addition to falling, Lin Li’s body was also constrained by the power, and it was almost impossible for him to move his body. At this rate, he would definitely fall to the ground like a meteor and turn into a pile of badly mangled flesh. He would become a Sanctuary powerhouse who had fallen to his death.
It was said that when the Ancient God of Earth used the simple Gravity Spell during the Age of Mythology, it could even pull celestial bodies down from the void, and create a calamity like an artificial meteor shower. Hundreds of tons of celestial bodies came raining down from the void, and the power of each was not inferior to the full-force attack of a Sanctuary powerhouse. A Sanctuary powerhouse would instantly be turned into ashes after getting struck by it, and even their soul would be burned to ashes by the flames.
Just like the Ancient God of Water, the Ancient God of Earth in front of Lin Li now had only a small portion of his power left, coupled with his willpower. Hence, his strength was far from the point of overriding the gods, and was in fact just a little more divine than that of demigod-level powerhouses.
Of course, having more divinity was already quite an impressive feat because that meant that the ancient god was still a true deity despite having been weakened, and not a demigod that had just reached this realm.
Upon sensing the huge attraction, Lin Li’s Domain World changed immediately as well. The debris of the stars that had been integrated into the Domain World became dominated by the new life containing the laws of earth. Dealing with the power of the Ancient God of Earth using the power of the debris of the stars, Rebirth, was akin to using Polar Snow against the Ancient God of Water previously.
Under the power of the debris of the stars, Rebirth, Lin Li’s falling speed slowed down and gradually stabilized, while he regained his mobility. At the same time, he also raised the Helios’ Scepter in his hand, and the sky was suddenly filled with gloomy clouds. Numerous lightning balls began landing on the Ancient God of Earth with deafening roars.
However, before the countless balls of lightning could reach the head of the Ancient God of Earth, a large rock palm suddenly extended from the earth below, and with its gentle wave, all the attacks in the air vanished.. Immediately afterwards, the Ancient God of Earth stomped his foot, and a mountain peak stabbed out of the earth like a sharp sword before darting towards Lin Li.
