Chapter 1297: Transformation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Initially, the blood of dozens of ancient wyrms was required for the power of the Conquering Mageweath to be exerted to a greater extent. However, Lin Li didn’t know where to get that many ancient wyrms whose blood he could drain. Fortunately, the Dragon of Destruction not only contained far more blood than dozens of ancient wyrms, the mana in its blood was also unique in Anril. Thus, it was the best substitute.

On the other hand, the flesh of the Dragon of Destruction was placed under the Sky Castle. The lower side of the Sky Castle was just like an inverted mountain peak, whose defensive ability was much inferior to that of the top. This was one of the crucial reasons that the Sky Castle had once been struck by the Sky-breaker.

Now, under the catalysis of the physical body derivation technique, the flesh of the Dragon of Destruction enveloped the entire lower part of the Sky Castle, and the defensive power was immediately increased greatly. Wrapping the body of the Dragon of Destruction around the Sky Castle allowed the defensive power to be almost equal to that of the Dragon of Destruction.

The ribs of the Dragon of Destruction were arranged at the edge of the Sky Castle, and the ribs of the two dragon corpses surrounded the buildings on the surface of the Sky Castle like giant pillars. There were extremely complicated mageweaths inscribed on each rib, and not only possessed a strong defensive power, but also increased the power of the Sky Castle’s offensive weapons.

.

The spine of the Dragon of Destruction was disassembled into segments which were then arranged to form bone towers that were placed on the Sky Castle according to a specific orientation. The magic bone towers formed an even larger Magic Array together with the existing 36 Magic Towers. By incorporating the power of Darkness and Destruction into the Magic Array, the Domain World of Destruction could be unleashed.

The two pairs of fleshy wings of the Dragon of Destruction were each placed on one side of the Sky Castle, making it look as if the Sky Castle had grown two pairs of wings. With the power of these two pairs of fleshy wings, the Sky Castle would be able to fly at a faster and more stable speed. It would then be able to travel through the void with greater ease.

Most importantly, the skulls of the two corpses of the Dragon of Destruction were placed on the Sky Castle one after the other. Moreover, under Lin Li’s special concoction, the two dragon heads were revitalized, and they seemed to have turned into existences that were similar to a Humerus Wyrm. They had the ability to release most of the magic spells of the Dragon of Destruction, making them arguably the most powerful weapons on the Sky Castle.

According to Lin Li’s plan, the final outcome of the transformation after the completion of all the works should be a new Sky Castle that was shaped like two wyrms with their backs pressed against each other. That was the Sky Castle that Lin Li imagined to be genuinely indestructible and difficult for even gods to attack and destroy.

Under the commands of Lin Li’s meditate, the renovation of the Sky Castle proceeded in an orderly manner. As for Lin Li’s main body, he didn’t continue accumulating mana, but instead arrived at the gate that led to the next level, which he passed to go to the realm that once led him on the pursuit of the traces of the Immortal King.

After entering that realm, Lin Li easily found his way to Cursed Island in the waters of the Gilded Kingdom, and entered the underground world where the gods had been imprisoned. The Light-winged Angels, ancient Titans, and even the incarnations of the Serpent of Light were still existing in this world, but they no longer caused any hindrance to Lin Li.

Soon, Lin Li arrived in the Magic Tower where the gods were sealed, but this time it seemed that not that many gods had been sealed in the Magic Tower. Geresco’s shadow wasn’t around, either. It was just like a newly constructed tower that was nothing but empty.

However, Lin Li didn’t come here to enjoy the scenery again. Standing on the highest level of the Magic Tower, Lin Li silently chanted an incantation, after which his body vanished without a trace in a flash.

When Lin Li’s figure reappeared, he was still on the top floor of the Magic Tower, but his surroundings were completely different from before. At this juncture, he was no longer in the world that Geresco had replicated, but in the Magic Tower where the countless gods had been sealed. He was now surrounded by rows and rows of bookshelves, but he had already taken the magic books from the shelves.

If it were outside, Lin Li would not be able to enter this place, where the various gods had been sealed, by traveling through space. After all, the power here was enormous since so many gods had been imprisoned, and the strength of the spatial barrier was already extremely exaggerated. Even those gods could not cross the spatial barrier to escape, let alone Lin Li, a Sanctuary powerhouse who was merely near the Divine-realm.

However, Lin Li took a turn, and first headed to the world that Geresco had replicated before arriving in the same spatial position. He then used his power to travel through space to enter the Magic Tower in the real world. It was akin to taking the back door by using the world that Geresco replicated to bypass the powerful spatial barrier and enter the real world.

Upon determining that his vision had been realized, Lin Li heaved a gentle sigh of relief, pushed open the door of the study, and walked towards the lower side of the high tower. When he reached the first level of the tower, Lin Li stopped and chanted a magic incantation, after which a staircase that led towards the underground space gradually appeared.

The gods that were sealed in the Magic Tower were continuously having their power extracted by the tower, so there would definitely be a core that controlled everything somewhere. Lin Li came this time to find the core of the Magic Tower to drain all its power for his own use.

Through the staircase deep underground, Lin Li came to the first floor of the Magic Tower where there was an extremely spacious underground hall. The walls around the hall were covered in patterns that were glistening with the light of mana. The patterns were of varying thickness, and were arranged neatly. All the light patterns finally converged in the center of the hall where there was a large Solar Sphere hovering in the middle like a sun.

Seeing this scene, Lin Li immediately understood that the light patterns that covered the walls of the entire hall were channels that the mana extracted from the gods traveled through, while the massive Solar Sphere in the middle was the core where all the mana condensed.

Lin Li could clearly feel that the mana fluctuations emanating from the huge Solar Sphere in the center of the hall had reached a terrifying level. In terms of mana alone, there was probably nothing in Anril that could possess that much mana. Perhaps only the sun that was high in the sky could compare to it.

What a waste to leave such a huge mass of mana here!?Even Lin Li couldn’t help but yearn for the massive Solar Sphere after sensing the mana it contained.

However, it was almost impossible to take it away. Although the Solar Sphere seemed to be very stable here, it was because of the existence of the Divine-Smith-level mageweaths. If Lin Li could not make a similar arrangement, and overestimated his abilities by moving it to the Sky Castle, the consequences would probably be as dire as an instant annihilation of the entire Sky Castle.

Lin Li was well aware of that, so he didn’t intend to take it away, and instead raised his hand to release Elemental Dragon Xiao Hua from the Dream Garden.

“Go ahead and absorb as much mana as you want!” Lin Li said to Xiao Hua, who kept making noises beside him, as he pointed at the Solar Sphere.

Hearing Lin Li’s words, Elemental Dragon Xiao Hua immediately chirped with joy, and pounced towards the Solar Sphere in the middle of the hall. The mana in the Solar Sphere had been drained from gods, and had been accumulating here for thousands of years. Even though a portion of it had been used to seal the gods, the remaining portion was still extremely horrifying.

Xiao Hua had already grown past the infant stage, and was now in adolescence. If it were to absorb only the mana of the outside world, it would take at least a few hundred years of time to reach adulthood. However, the Solar Sphere that contained the power of the gods was simply the best tonic and growth catalyst for Xiao Hua, and would allow it to reach adulthood in the shortest possible time.

After making arrangements for the Elemental Dragon, Lin Li returned to the top floor of the Magic Tower. Just like what he did when he arrived, he returned to the Meditation Land in the inverted tower to begin his accumulation and comprehension.

Another year passed, but it was only a tiny segment of the long river of time. Even for ordinary people, one year was considered nothing.

During this one-year period, the transformation of the Sky Castle was already gradually approaching the end. Under the command of Lin Li’s manifestation, the two corpses of the Dragons of Destruction had been perfectly fused together with the Sky Castle.

Under the effect of the Twin Trees of Eternity, the Dragons of Destruction, and numerous powerful forces, the huge Sky Castle appeared faint in the sky, and looked like it was about to break free from the shackles of the world. If this Sky Castle were a person, it would be a powerful demigod that seemed to be about to reach godhood very soon.

However, for the rest of Anril, it didn’t seem to be a good year. The magic tides in the space became more and more aggressive, which caused the mages who had been relying on the magic tides to improve their strength to finally stop rejoicing. Their glee was replaced by panic and confusion.

Although the magic tides could quickly enhance the strength of the mages, and even result in several large-scale developments in the history of magic civilization, there had to be a limit to everything, and when the magic tides surged beyond the threshold and capacity of the mages, it would probably become a huge disaster for them.

For example, when filling a container with water, a faster speed would definitely allow the container to be filled sooner. However, when the amount of water exceeded the capacity of the container, and no more water could be added, the container would inevitably break.

For mages, the amount of mana that could be accumulated would depend on the realm that they had reached. The higher the realm, the larger their capacity. However, in the situation where there was a rapid injection of mana into the magic tides while the realm of the mage’s strength could not be improved at the same speed, the final result would be an outburst.

Hence, with the surging of the magic tides and the continuous deaths of mages, almost all the mages in Anril were in danger, and no one dared to meditate casually. Besides, they even tried to find ways to control the influx of mana because the speed of the influx of mana had long increased beyond the effects of ordinary meditation.

The people of the Tower of Dusk had also encountered the same problem. Fortunately, the mages of the Tower of Dusk had a solid foundation; more importantly, because Lin Li had warned them about the danger of the magic tides a long time ago, the mages had long stopped using the magic tide to advance. The other thing that protected them was the Sky Castle. As long as the mages entered the Sky Castle, the defensive barrier formed by the Twin Trees of Eternity and the Dragon of Destruction would be able to completely block out the effects of the magic tides.

However, the mages of other forces couldn’t survive the disaster that easily. In fact, this event caused fewer mages to dare to roam the outside world. The ordinary people who did not sense anything also suddenly discovered that the high and mighty mages actually vanished from this world overnight.

Besides, the impact of the magic tides on Anril was not only reflected in the bodies of the mages. Under the surge of the magic tides, the laws of Anril slipped into chaos, resulting in an unpredictable climate change. It could be scorching hot one day and snow the other, followed by a thunderstorm the next. Thus, it made even ordinary people feel that there seemed to be terrible changes in this world.

All of a sudden, all the people in Anril seemed to be petrified and fearful, be it the mages or even the insignificant ordinary people, who all now had heavy hearts.

The Supreme Council, Darkness Shrine, and Brilliance Shrine were the top forces of Anril that could even manipulate the history of the entire continent. Naturally, they were even more concerned about the changes in this world. In response to the abnormal magic tides, several major forces immediately carried an investigation in a bid to figure out the truth behind this phenomenon.

On the other hand, emissaries of several major forces also arrived at the Sky Castle of the Tower of Dusk on this day, including Archbishop Englos of the Brilliance Shrine, High Priest Sendros of the Darkness Shrine, and Andoine of the Supreme Council.

Although Lin Li’s manifestation was outside, it was just like his double that had been fixed in place, and was specifically responsible for presiding over the transformation of the Sky Castle. It couldn’t replace Lin Li in other aspects.

Hence, upon hearing about the arrival of these three great figures, Gavin was stuck in a dilemma for a while as he was torn between informing Lin Li about it, and letting the three of them continue waiting for Lin Li to come out and greet them. If the representatives were other people, Gavin wouldn’t feel conflicted even if they were also from the Brilliance Shrine, Darkness Shrine, and Supreme Council. He would just arrange for them to wait somewhere.

Currently, the Tower of Dusk was no longer the small and powerless force that it was when it was first established. With the powerful Sky Castle alone, they had enough power to hold their heads high in front of the major forces like the Supreme Council. Hence, since Lin Li previously said that he didn’t want to be disturbed, Gavin completely had the right to make visitors wait for Lin Li to come out.
