Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master - Chapter 990

Chapter 990: Take A Gamble

Lin Li was well aware of the power of the debris of the stars, and if he were to really suffer a hit, he would lose his life. However, he knew that if it continued to drag the fight out, he definitely wouldn’t be able to hold on for long. Whenever the debris of the stars collided, he would be the one getting injured. Hence, he would only collapse sooner or later.

Seizing the fleeting opportunity, Lin Li drank two potions at once, and finally stabilized his condition a little. However, the major blood loss had already caused him to feel like he had slipped into a trance that would kill him at any moment.

It couldn’t be dragged on for any longer! Lin Li needed the Magical Domain. Even though the Magical Domain would not be able to last long in the face of the attacks of the Immortal King’s incarnation, it could at least help him buy some time so that he could brainstorm for a while. However, the previous domain had completely collapsed, after all, and it would take him some time to reconstruct the Magical Domain.

When the incarnation of the Immortal King shot a piece of the debris of the stars at Lin Li again, Lin Li decided to take another gamble. He no longer blocked it with his own debris of the stars, and instead took out the giant-pillar-like Titan Dragon Spear from the Ring of Endless Storm.

The Titan Dragon Spear was the one that Lin Li had obtained in the Haiga Mountain Range. The Titan remains had already been used to build the Black Front Fortress. Due to the death of its owner, the Titan Dragon Spear had fallen completely dormant, and had little to no use left at that time. Lin Li used it twice before, once against the Double Death Dragons, and once to subdue Angelano. He also utilized only the destructive power of Thunderbolt that it contained.

However, the Titan Dragon Spear that had suffered two heavy blows did not get energized in any way, and was only passively emitting destructive Thunderbolt. There were some cracks in the spear.

Previously, Lin Li didn’t think of using that item again, and simply kept it in his Ring of Endless Storm as a collectible. This time, Lin Li did not think of using the Titan Dragon Spear as a means to counterattack, and instead treated it as a piece of garbage that could hopefully block the Immortal King’s incarnation’s attacks for him, even if it could only buy him a second of time.

Hence, after throwing out the Titan Dragon Spear, Lin Li did not bother to look over at all. He immediately released the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, and launched a full-on attack on the Domain World.

This time, the Immortal King’s incarnation shot out the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, which was the sharpest of all seven pieces of the debris of the stars. In fact, if Lin Li still wanted to use other debris of the stars to block the attacks like he did just now, it would probably be impossible for him to do so in time.

The enormous Titan Dragon Spear obscured Lin Li’s body entirely, and thus it was actually a good option. Of course, the most important issue was whether the Titan Dragon Spear could really block the attack of Thunderbolt like what the legends claimed.

The massive Titan Dragon Spear was like a giant pillar from a temple that was heading straight towards the debris of the stars that came flying towards it. On one side, there were numerous rays of thunderous light, while on the other side, there was only a shabby and ordinary stone pillar. It seemed that anyone could tell which was the stronger one here. However, when the two collided, the Titan Dragon Spear seemed to have detected the aura of destruction as countless cracks appeared on its ancient and simple-looking surface. Numerous destructive thunderbolts emerged like living creatures, jumping and flickering on the surface.

On the other side, the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, seemed to have felt a challenge to its might. All of a sudden, astonishing power emerged from it. It was as terrifying as the power that Lin Li had used in the Endless World to activate the Stars of Fury with all his might. It seemed like it could destroy everything in the world.

In a split second, the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, and the Titan Dragon Spear that had been in slumber for thousands of years collided forcefully. With the collision point as the center, a large number of Razer Pythons darted out into the space around them like giant spider webs that covered the heavens and earth. Under the power of the destructive Thunderbolt, large areas seemed to collapse, and the entire Well of the Sun looked like it was about to be destroyed as well.

Even Lin Li did not expect such a situation. Fortunately, the seven pieces of the debris of the stars finally reconstructed a Domain World. Otherwise, Lin Li would have been skinned alive even if he hadn’t died from the aftershock of the collision.

In that collision, the Titan Dragon Spear, which had been in slumber for thousands of years, seemed to have been invigorated again. The coarse exterior was removed layer by layer, gradually revealing its true appearance.

The Titan Dragon Spear was a dragon-slaying artifact that every Titan created after gradual accumulation of the destructive Thunderbolt that they devoured bit by bit since they were young. Hence, the Titan Dragon Spear was in essence created from Thunderbolt. The Titan Dragon Spear looked like a lightning pillar formed by countless intertwined Razer Pythons. The center of the pillar was the wisp of destructive Thunderbolt that was formed in the void before the world was born from chaos, and although it was present only in a small amount, it gave off an astonishingly destructive aura.

However, it would still be too much of a stretch to say that the Titan Dragon Spear was comparable to the debris of the stars. Although the Titan Dragon Spear did not get destroyed immediately in the collision, it was clearly inferior in strength, and was sent flying after being struck by the Thunderbolt.

Fortunately, the direction of the debris of the stars was changed after Thunderbolt was blasted away by the Titan Dragon Spear. It immediately pierced through the Domain World that Lin Li had just created, but it did not actually hit Lin Li’s body. However, even so, Lin Li’s Domain World once again collapsed, and was almost destroyed.

Lin Li couldn’t care less about the Titan Dragon Spear that had been knocked out of the sky. After dodging the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, he tried his best to repair the broken Domain World while capturing the inspiration that he got from reconstructing the Domain World.

Originally, Lin Li reconstructed the Domain World for the purpose of buying more time for himself so that he could divide some of his attention to deal with the Immortal King’s incarnation. In fact, Lin Li had no idea if he could think of any solution at all. He could only consider it a gamble.

However, right after successfully constructing the Domain World just now, Lin Li gained some inspiration. Since the debris of the stars in the Immortal King’s incarnation’s hands was the foundation of the Well of the Sun, would he be able to replace it with his own set, and make it become the foundation of the Well of the Sun? If it was possible, wouldn’t he become the master of the Well of the Sun? Even if he could not kill the Immortal King’s incarnation, with the power of the World Domain, he could at least contend with it.

Besides, Lin Li had another guess. The Immortal King’s incarnation was exactly the same as him when he was exploring the Well of the Sun back then. Did that mean that the other party’s existence also depended on the world of the Well of the Sun?

Thinking of this, Lin Li felt that he ought to take a gamble since he would not be able to avoid death if he dragged it on like this anyway. Hence, he might as well try and take the risk. To him, his life was already considered a bet that was destined to be lost, so there was no difference between losing the bet and not taking the gamble. However, if he won, he would have the chance to live.

However, what would he have to do to achieve that and gain control of the Well of the Sun using his debris of the stars? Recalling the scene in the Well of the Sun, Lin Li suddenly remembered that when he had obtained the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, he actually collected them from various places, and not from a single boss-level monster.

In other words, the original locations of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars were most likely meant for the sustenance of the Well of the Sun. Now, the incarnation of the Immortal King was holding the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. Hence, the locations in the Well of the Sun had to have already been emptied out. However, the Well of the Sun was in the world of the Immortal King’s incarnation. Hence, it did not collapse due to the absence of the debris of the stars.

In that case, if he were to place the debris of the stars back in the spots that he remembered, wouldn’t he be able to gain control of the Well of the Sun? Lin Li wasn’t sure if his guess was correct, but he was certain that there was no better choice.

Lin Li wanted to verify his guess, but was still faced with the tough problem of getting out of this place. Turn around and run? That was impossible. The other party was a top Hunter. If he were to do so, it would be no different from suicide.

The Immortal King’s incarnation was still constantly attacking Lin Li, and all kinds of arrows that Lin Li was familiar with were being launched one by one. While Lin Li was struggling to hang on, he was also looking for a chance to escape safely. However, escaping from a top Hunter was not an easy task.

However, Lin Li did have a slight advantage, which was precisely the fact that the other party was a Hunter, once belonging to him. Lin Li was just as familiar with the skills of a Hunter as he was with magic.

As long as the Immortal King’s incarnation was not using any debris of the stars, Lin Li would be able to clearly know any of the subtle features and flaws of the archery skills it launched. In fact, Lin Li had even discovered through the battle just now that the Immortal King’s incarnation still had some of his own flaws from back then. The Immortal King’s incarnation was actually more like Lin Li’s incarnation in the Endless World. In fact, some of his actions and subtle expressions were almost identical to Lin Li’s back then.

Watching the Immortal King’s incarnation continue to exhibit the archery that he was familiar with, Lin Li knew that it was very likely that the chance that he had been waiting for was there.

Indeed, after surviving several waves of the opponent’s attacks and scrutinizing his actions, Lin Li’s pupils constricted, and he put away the seven pieces of the debris of the stars that he had integrated into his Domain World. He then turned around and flew in the direction that he had thought of.

At this time, the incarnation had also begun attacking. A sharp arrow appeared behind Lin Li like lightning, and penetrated his body immediately without obstruction. However, a moment before that, Lin Li, who did not turn back at all, adjusted his body slightly while escaping. The minor adjustment was the very reason he managed to avoid letting the arrow strike him in his vital point. Although he was still hit by the sharp arrow, this result was undoubtedly already a victory for him.

The archery skill that the Immortal King’s incarnation displayed was the Heart-Piercing Arrow from the Endless World’s System Skill set. Although there was no need to aim at the target when using this skill, Lin Li nonetheless subconsciously squinted out of habit when using it.

The Endless World was a game world that placed emphasis on realism. Other than a few particular ones, most skills did not come with the ability to lock onto targets. Hence, it was actually quite normal to squint and aim when shooting. However, every time Lin Li used the Heart Piercing Arrow, he would immediately open his eyes after squinting because he would realize that it was redundant to squint. That became Lin Li’s habit when using that skill.

Of course, normal people usually would not be able to notice their own habits. Likewise, Lin Li only realized it after others pointed it out to him.

This time, Lin Li finally saved himself thanks to his awareness of that small habit. The power of the Heart Piercing Arrow was not huge, and its focus was on launching attacks at fatal parts of the body in order to achieve a one shot kill. Hence, after seeing that the incarnation had launched a Heart Piercing Arrow, Lin Li immediately put away the World Domain that was his lifeline, and turned around to run away.

Lin Li could dodge without turning back precisely because he knew where and when the Heart Piercing Arrow would land.

Having gotten the opportunity he wanted, Lin Li naturally did not dare to make the slightest delay at all. He maximized his Power of Flight, and dashed towards his target like a bolt of lighting. Due to the fact that the Immortal King’s incarnation was a Hunter, he did not have the Power of Flight skill, and could only fly by relying on the power of the Domain World. Hence, it was slower than Lin Li.

Besides, since it had to rely on the power of the Domain World to chase after Lin Li, the incarnation naturally couldn’t take out the debris of the stars that constituted the world. He could only use the arrows condensed by the power of the world to attack Lin Li. After all, the Immortal King’s incarnation still relied on the Immortal King’s legacy to gain control over the debris of the stars, and not on his own abilities.

However, the Immortal King’s incarnation was still using the Stars of Fury that was condensed using mana after all. It was probably only different in quality from the actual Stars of Fury. The true core Laws were actually not inferior. Thus, even if the Immortal King’s incarnation used the most ordinary arrow, the power that erupted from it would be rather horrifying, not to mention an arrow made of condensed power of the debris of the stars.

Lin Li dared not expose his back to a terrifying Hunter like the incarnation for a long time. Hence, after being struck by the Heart Piercing Arrow, he immediately fell into the palace of the Well of the Sun like a meteor in a bid to use the intricate and complex buildings to cover himself.
