Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master

Chapter 1171 - Seven Monuments

The Tower of Dusk’s team naturally had another intention, and that was to let the mages get as much training as possible. A battle at the level of the Titans and the Radiant-winged Giant Scorpion was not something that the mages could interfere with. If they accidentally got involved in the battle, they would all end up facing destruction. Hence, when an opponent at the level of the Radiant Giant Scorpion appeared, Lin Li naturally would not let go of this opportunity to train his subordinates.

On the other hand, Lin Li said that he would guard against accidents, but he was actually taking the time to study the power of the Serpent of Light Shagar’s incarnation in the debris of the stars, Holy Light. Lin Li not only treated the power as a trump card, but also hoped that he would be able to explore the secrets of the Divine Kingdom.

Divine Kingdoms could only be possessed by gods, and although Lin Li’s current strength seemed to be insufficient for him to create one yet, he thought of another use for the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness after hearing Connoris’ description. If he could simulate the power of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness and apply it to his Domain World, what kind of changes would there be in his Domain World?

Lin Li was not being delusional; rather, if it was someone else, he wouldn’t have possibly realized that idea. However, Lin Li had the two pieces of the debris of the stars, Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, which contained the purest power of light and darkness, respectively. As long as Lin Li could comprehend a trace of the mystery from the power of the Serpent of Light Shagar, he could obtain massive gains.

The battle with the Giant Scorpion of Light was soon over, and be it the team of the Gilded Kingdom or the Tower of Dusk, there were no casualties in the battle. The Gilded Kingdom’s team originally brought along with them various elites among Legendary powerhouses, each of whom was very experienced in battles. Hence, they naturally wouldn’t encounter any incidents during a battle of such a level.

Although the rookie mages of the Tower of Dusk had only experienced very few battles, they gradually seemed less like rookies. Each of the battles that they had experienced involved the risk of losing their lives, and if they were careless, they would not only harm themselves, but also their companions. Such a battle was even more intense than when they were fighting in the Barbarous Arena in the Tower of Dusk,

Various magical beasts appeared after they dealt with the Giant Scorpion of Light along the way, perhaps because they had come out of the territory of the Radiant-winged Giant Python. However, they had a common feature: they all used the Power of Light. It was clearly because of the environment. Apart from the Giant Scorpion of Light, there were also creatures like Gryphons and dragons, or even worms, all of which were Radiant.

However, just when the crowd thought that it would remain bright and radiant as it was, there were some abnormal changes in the desert that caught their attention—they discovered that a layer of black fog gradually shrouded the desert. There was also a black whirlwind that was continuously rotating in the middle of that black fog.

In the beginning, Edmund and others were not very concerned, and were ready to lead the team to keep going in the original direction. However, after Lin Li saw the black fog, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and thought of the incarnation of Intoro, the Serpent of Darkness.

The Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness were originally a pair, and the incarnation of the Serpent of Darkness had never appeared. Lin Li, who had been wanting to obtain the mystery of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness, had kept it in mind. On the one hand, he was worried that the incarnation of the Serpent of Darkness would suddenly appear and catch him off guard. After all, it was a powerful existence that was close to the level of the deities. On the other hand, he was afraid that the incarnation of the Serpent of Darkness had ceased to exist. If that had been the case, it would’ve probably been almost impossible to obtain it.

After seeing the black fog in the distance, Lin Li immediately thought of the incarnation of the Serpent of Darkness he was looking for. In this environment, which was full of light, the Serpent of Darkness was probably the only one that could maintain such a special existence.

This time, Lin Li did not scurry over, and instead informed Edmund that he would go over there to check it out. In fact, Lin Li was not being unreasonable, but since he was being cold and aloof, Lin Li naturally couldn’t be bothered. After the battle with the Radiant-winged Giant Python, Edmund’s attitude gradually changed, and Lin Li did not bother making things hard for them.

Of course, there was a more important reason: Lin Li was still not sure if it was really the incarnation of the Serpent of Darkness Intoro. If the condition of the Serpent of Darkness was just like that of the Radiant-winged Giant Python previously, Lin Li would naturally need a few helpers.

Before, Lin Li unearthed that temple, and as a result unearthed a secret that Edmund was clueless about. At this moment, Edmund naturally wouldn’t miss what Lin Li wanted to find.

As expected, after hearing that Lin Li was going over there to check out the situation, Edmund also immediately said he would tag along. However, Elder Zumar and High Priest Poer stayed behind with the rest in order to avoid any unnecessary casualties to the group.

Lin Li and Edmund soon arrived at the place that was shrouded in black fog, which was rather faint, and seemed to be about to dissipate at any time. However, due to the fact that the surroundings were filled with light, it seemed more striking. Otherwise, the black fog would not attract anyone’s attention in the world outside.

The black tornado that was continuously rotating in the sparse black fog seemed to be more than 10 meters high, but the core part was only the height of an average human. Besides, the black tornado was also rotating very slowly, like an old man in debilitated health.

As soon as Lin Li walked into the thin black fog, he felt an aura that was very similar in nature to the aura of the incarnation of the Serpent of Light. Almost without any suspense, Lin Li immediately confirmed that the black tornado was evolved by the incarnation of the Serpent of Light.

Lin Li was puzzled at first because the ancient God of Light had already destroyed the Divine Kingdom of the God of Bravery. Why would it leave the incarnation of the Serpent of Light behind, then? However, there now seemed to be an answer to everything, and that was that the incarnation of the Serpent of Light had not escaped that disaster. However, with the Ancient God of Light being suppressed by the Immortal King, the incarnation of the Serpent of Light had probably been reborn with the Power of Light that was emanating from the Ancient God of Light.

On the other hand, the Serpent of Darkness was much unluckier as every inch of space was filled with the Power of Light, making it impossible for it to obtain enough Dark Force to be reborn. As a result, it was worn down by the Power of Light, and turned into the state that it currently was in. If Lin Li and the others had arrived a few decades later, the incarnation of the Serpent of Darkness might have gone up in smoke already.

At that moment, Lin Li did not care to explain anything to Edmund, and simply took out the debris of the stars, Gloomy Dark, and tossed it into the center of the black tornado. As Gloomy Dark entered, the black tornado that was initially spinning slowly seemed to have regained its vitality as it suddenly sped up. However, the volume of the tornado seemed to be rapidly shrinking too.

Seeing this scene, Edmund could already guess what Lin Li was doing without asking. Clearly, he was using some magical equipment to absorb that Dark Force. However, he was puzzled by the fact that the Dark Force was not actually that powerful. In fact, it was inferior to the power of the magic spells cast by a Sanctuary powerhouse, so how was the Dark Force used here?

However, Saint Edmund did not ask Lin Li any more questions despite being full of doubts. After all, even if the tension between them had eased up, it still wasn’t to the point where they could chat about everything under the sun. If he didn’t ask that question now, there wouldn’t be any negative impact between them. If he couldn’t even think of that, he wasn’t worthy of being a Saint.

Soon, Lin Li put away Gloomy Dark, and used his mental strength to detect and capture the mass of Dark Force. Indeed, that mass of Dark Force was like an ant compared to an elephant when compared to the power of the Serpent of Light’s incarnation. However, what he wanted was not a massive Dark Force. Even if there was only a wisp of power, it would be enough as long as it allowed him to have a glimpse of the mystery of the power of the Serpent of Darkness.

After putting away Gloomy Dark, Lin Li smilingly said to Edmund, “It’s just a mass of Dark Force. I doubt it’ll give us any useful information, let’s continue on our way.”

Since Lin Li stopped talking about the Dark Force, Edmund didn’t ask anymore. Hence, he nodded, turned around, and returned to his team while Lin Li did so too. When Edmund returned to the Gilded Kingdom’s team, Zumar and Poer both immediately greeted him, and wanted to ask about the results of Edmund’s examination, but they only saw Edmund shaking his head indifferently.

After the two teams set off again, and walked for a short period of time, they soon saw seven tall buildings with vague appearance in the desert in front of them. Before they could get a clear look of the buildings’ appearance, Edmund already seemed extremely excited. Although Elder Zumar and High Priest Poer did not know much about the matter, they immediately had an answer in their hearts when they saw Edmund’s behavior.

Immediately afterwards, under Edmund’s order, the team of Gilded Kingdom immediately sped up, while the team of the Tower of Dusk also sped up once they saw the Gilded Kingdom doing so. Well, they naturally understood what the Gilded Kingdom was doing this for. However, Lin Li asked them to maintain their original speed since they wouldn’t lose track anyway.

As they got closer and closer to their destination, the true appearance of the seven tall buildings, which originally looked a bit hazy in the light, was gradually revealed. They were probably nearly 100 meters tall, with pointed tops and sleek bodies. They looked like a massive sword that was inverted and stuck into the ground.

By the time they got closer, the crowd also finally realized that they were not magic towers, but seven tall and majestic spiked monuments. These seven monuments were emitting a faint golden light. The majestic aura was so domineering that many could not help but be reverent.

The surface of the seven monuments was inscribed with extremely complex mageweaths and numerous starry-like magic runes. Even in this environment that was full of light, they were still dazzling and eye-catching. The bottom of the monuments was also embellished with numerous magical crystals that should be providing mana for the monuments. Each magical crystal was probably in the Sanctuary-realm or above.

On a side note, the seven monuments were not lined up, but arranged in a circle. At the same time, there were powerful forces connecting the monuments together to form a massive mana barrier. Furthermore, they were surrounded by a bright ray of light that was like the sun.

When the two teams reached the bottom of the monuments, and were only a thousand steps away from the light in the middle, they finally saw the light above. There was also a sphere of light that was hovering in the air.

At this juncture, Edmund could no longer suppress the excitement within him as he raised his arms with enthusiasm, and exclaimed, “That’s our holy artifact. As long as we bring it, we can revive Saint Aquilo!”

Hearing Edmund’s words, all the people from the Gilded Kingdom immediately seemed to be full of zeal and ardor. If not for the fact that they still remembered where this place was, they would have probably cheered immediately. Even the mages of the Tower of Dusk, who were following behind, seemed to be rather agitated. Although the holy artifacts of the Lord had nothing to do with them, they seemed to be witnessing a miracle.

Lin Li, Connoris, Angelano, and the two Undead servants were the only ones who were indifferent to that. At that moment, Lin Li was instead even more vigilant as he was ready to fight at any time. Usually, when it came to such junctures, one should not lower their guard.

After suppressing the initial excitement in his heart, Edmund turned around, and began to arrange for the crowd to prepare for the ceremony of the holy artifact harvest. The people of the Gilded Kingdom immediately got busy. Firstly, they built a temporary altar under the command of Elder Zumar and High Priest Poer.

Although it was said to be a temporary altar, it was definitely not set up casually. The materials used to build the altar were all brought in from outside, and it was almost as if they had brought the Gilded Kingdom’s treasure vault in. Each item was supreme-grade magic material that was extremely valuable. There was no negligence during construction, and everyone was extremely serious. Even the slightest mistake would be corrected immediately. Thus, an exquisite altar was erected.
