Afterwards, Lin Li arrived at the central square of the Sky Castle where the mages of the Mage Legion quickly gathered under Gavin’s instructions.

Lin Li had spent a year in the Meditation Land trying to comprehend something, while the mages of the Mage Legion had also made progress. The Mage Legion of the Tower of Dusk was composed entirely of Legendary-mages, thus making them a powerful team that no force could belittle in Anril.

After the mages of the Mage Legion gathered, Lin Li reached out, and formed a spatial rift in the air at the side, leading the mages directly to a port city on the coast of the Breezy Plains. The newly built port city was named Lin Lacine City, and was built by the Tower of Dusk in the past year mainly to provide logistical support for the fleet of the Tower of Dusk.

The 30 battles.h.i.+ps of the Tower of Dusk were docked at Lacine City, while The Star became the training vessel for new sailors. It also served as a patrol s.h.i.+p, so it wasn’t docked at the port.

After Lin Li arrived at the port of Lacine City, he immediately ordered the fleet to get ready to set sail. Although the sailors of the current fleet of the Tower of Dusk were newly hired, and there weren’t enough to fully crew the battles.h.i.+ps, the battles.h.i.+ps were powered with alchemical technology, so only a small number of personnel was required. Hence, their normal operation wasn’t affected.

.

It took only a day for all the battles.h.i.+ps to be ready to set sail. Lin Li brought the mages of the Mage Legion aboard the flags.h.i.+p, The Sun King. The flags.h.i.+p had a ma.s.sive size and powerful attacking and defensive systems, with four Magical Crystal Cannons equipped and a Sky-breaker s.h.i.+pped over from the Tower of Dusk as the main cannon.

After boarding The Sun King, Lin Li announced the goal of this operation, and the entire fleet headed in the direction of Cage Island. The main reason for Lin Li’s trip was to obtain the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction below Cage Island.

The Dragon of Destruction, one of the five great Dragon Aspects of Anril, possessed ma.s.sive power that was enough to contend against the G.o.ds. The existence of the five great Dragon Aspects was precisely the reason that those G.o.ds couldn’t really descend in Anril at will. Even if they were just casting a projection of themselves, they would still have to be very careful.

It was said that when the five Dragon Aspects protected Anril, not only did they forbid any G.o.d from entering Anril, they would also immediately drive away anyone who ignited Divine Fire in Anril. After all, the power of the G.o.ds posed a threat to the balance of Anril, which was also the reason that the five Dragon Aspects were called the guardians.

However, no one was certain if the five Dragon Aspects had done so really for the sake of maintaining the balance in Anril, or if it was because they treated Anril like the backyard of their home. However, no matter what, the existence of the five Dragon Aspects had indeed allowed Anril to avoid the control of the G.o.ds during those arduous years.

The fact that they could const.i.tute such a huge deterrence to the G.o.ds showed how terrifying the power of the five Dragon Aspects was. It wouldn’t be overboard to say that they were above the G.o.ds too. Unfortunately, such powerful Dragon Aspects had died at the hands of the Immortal King.

However, even if they died, the mightiness and power of a Dragon Aspect were not to be belittled. Even the basic abilities of the Dragon of Destruction’s corpse had terrifying power that was near the power of the G.o.ds.

In the beginning, the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction almost destroyed the powerful Gilded Kingdom. If it weren’t for the ancestors of the kingdom, who found the seal left by the Immortal King on Cage Island, the kingdom wouldn’t have survived.

Previously, Elder Zumar had invited Lin Li to help them suppress the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction on Cage Island, and it took Lin Li a great deal of effort to do so.

The Gilded Kingdom’s intention was to use the seal to continuously extract the power from the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction before injecting it into the savior that they had chosen so as to create an invincible expert whose strength was close to that of a deity.

Lin Li initially intended to trick the Gilded Kingdom, and take away the power of the Dragon of Destruction in advance so that the Gilded Kingdom would be left empty-handed. However, Lin Li changed his mind later. Not only did he want to obtain the power of the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction, more importantly, he also wanted to get the incredibly powerful corpse.

Although there was already a corpse of the Dragon of Destruction in Lin Li’s Ring of Endless Storm, it was that of the Dragon of Destruction from the Endless World game. However, according to his vision of the transformation of the Sky Castle, one corpse of the Dragon of Destruction would not be sufficient for the transformation of the Sky Castle to be completed, so he thought of the corpse below Cage Island.

The huge fleet of the Tower of Dusk only took two days to arrive at the sea where Cage Island was located. 30 large battles.h.i.+ps began surrounding Cage Island neatly, and all the weapons were gradually activated.

Of course, Lin Li was very clear that even though the battles.h.i.+ps were already considered the most powerful battle weapons in Anril, they were still far from enough to deal with the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction. Hence, their main objective in this operation was still to a.s.sist Lin Li, and prevent the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction from escaping.

Although the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction no longer had a soul, and was only left with the basic abilities of its body, running away from danger was precisely one of the instincts of the majority of creatures. On the battlefield, those who could overcome their instinctive abilities would be heroes, while those who succ.u.mbed to them would be considered cowards who fled. On the other hand, the Dragon of Destruction no longer cared about things like pride, so it was just behaving instinctively.

Hence, with Lin Li’s current strength, he wasn’t afraid of fighting the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction, but he was worried that the dragon corpse would flee once it realized that something was amiss with the situation. With the power of the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction, even Lin Li would have a huge headache if it really wanted to escape regardless of everything else.

Soon, the deserted island that was shrouded in an aura of destruction appeared in front of the fleet of the Tower of Dusk. Lin Li, who was originally standing on the deck of the flags.h.i.+p, suddenly leaped into the air, and continuously made a few hand gestures in front of his chest while chanting a short incantation.

With Lin Li’s actions, the sea around Cage Island immediately surged upwards like it had started boiling. At the same time, dark clouds also gathered in the air quickly, while bolts of lightning flickered between the dark clouds, making the sky switch between bright and dim.

Immediately afterwards, several dull roars emerged from the depths of the sea, and it was as if a volcano under the sea was about to erupt. As the seawater boiled and rolled, a wisp of black smoke escaped from the bottom of the sea. However, it then began dissipating and diffusing away like real smoke. It seemed to be rather solid, as if thin black lines that were gradually woven into a large black net between the surface of the sea and the clouds.

Cage Island, on which there were still traces of the last battle, also began to shake violently at this moment, and rocks began rolling down into the sea vigorously without stopping. In the center of the island, a crack that resembled the mouth of a giant beast began spreading open, and a ma.s.s of thick black gas gushed out of the crack.

There was a ma.s.sive shadow that covered the sky behind the black gas. Its wings made the broken island seem extremely small. The battles.h.i.+ps, which could be said to be the largest ones in Anril, looked just like ants that could be overturned as long as the ma.s.sive shadow sneezed.

Lin Li looked at that huge figure, and muttered under his breath, “Dragon of Destruction, come and make my Sky Castle even more perfect!”

What Lin Li wanted was a complete and powerful corpse of the Dragon of Destruction, not a dragon corpse that had been drained of its power, and was already close to decomposing. Hence, instead of taking the power that had been extracted by the seal, he reversed it, and channeled the extracted power back into the dragon corpse.

That was also the reason that Lin Li had brought the fleet over. Otherwise, he could have just drained all the power out of the dragon corpse using the seal before taking the corpse away with ease. However, if he were to do that, the dragon corpse would only be a type of material, even though it would still be powerful.

At this moment, the mana waves of the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction appeared to be countless times more powerful than it was the last time it appeared. The terrifying Menace of the Dragon sealed the entire s.p.a.ce in an instant, suppressing the fluctuations at the bottom of the boiling sea.

If it had been when Lin Li and Zumar and others had cooperated to deal with the dragon corpse, it would probably have broken free from the constraint of Cage Island, and caused a huge disaster to the Breezy Plains and even Anril. On the other hand, Lin Li, Zumar, and the others would only have ended up being the tonic of the dragon corpse. Who knew if they would turn into dragon feces?

However, Lin Li’s current abilities and strength had already changed drastically compared to before. Even the apparitions of the ancient deities would not be able to pose any threat to him.

“Howl!”

Despite the absence of soul willpower, the Dragon Corpse of the Dragon of Destruction still had a strong sense of pride out of instinct. Although it couldn’t remember Lin Li who had resealed it previously, it could sense the power in Lin Li’s body, and instinctively saw Lin Li as its enemy.

With the roar of the dragon corpse, the immense Menace of the Dragon belonging to the Dragon of Destruction immediately darted out towards the surroundings. Under the surge of the Menace of the Dragon, ripples that were visible to the naked eye appeared in the s.p.a.ce, and the surface of the water seemed to have become wrinkled.

However, when Lin Li was facing the dragon corpse of the Dragon of Destruction today, he was completely unaffected by the Menace of the Dragon. Although he had yet to ascend to the Divine-realm, he already had a considerable understanding of the power of the Divine-realm. The Menace of the Dragon of the dragon corpse was no longer that of a Dragon of Destruction, but the fluctuations resulting from the lineage of the dragon corpse. It was actually far worse than the might of the G.o.ds, let alone compared to the Dragon of Destruction.

Looking at the roaring dragon corpse, Lin Li seemed to be rather relaxed as he merely pointed the Helios’ Scepter forward gently. In an instant, a layer of white frost dashed towards the dragon corpse.

It seemed to be a Thousand Miles of Ice spell, but if one were to look closely, they would find that each particle that made up the frosty wave was a rune that shone brightly with the light of laws. Besides, the runes in the frost wave were not identical. Apart from the runes of the Laws of Ice, there were also that of many other basic laws of time and s.p.a.ce.

Before the frost wave reached the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction, it was already covered in a layer of white frost, and even the dragon’s breath had turned into cold air that was like fog.

Although the dragon corpse only had its basic physical instincts left, it could also feel the threat of the frost wave at this moment. The huge fleshy wings on the back of the dragon corpse flapped twice, and a ma.s.s of thick black mist rolled outwards of its body towards the frost wave that covered the sky.

At the same time, the dragon corpse pulled a move that made everyone’s jaw drop. It actually turned around to flee without hesitation.

The pride of a wyrm was not to be desecrated, and even the corpse of a dragon would be instinctively prideful. As a former Dragon Aspect, it was definitely prideful by nature. However, at this moment, the dragon corpse had merely touched Lin Li once, and they had yet to even fight each other, yet it decided to forgo its pride, and fled without putting up a fight.

“What a huge shame!”

Azardas, who had been sealed in the Dragon Crystal of the Dragon of Destruction, felt a strong urge to jump out and teach the disgraceful dragon corpse. Even though the corpse was, technically speaking, the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction from Anril, Azardas couldn’t tolerate such spineless behavior from it.

At this moment, the people on the Dusk Tower fleet couldn’t care less about lamenting about Lin Li’s power or the dragon corpse’s cowardice. According to Lin Li’s previous arrangements, all the weapons on the battles.h.i.+ps were pointed to the sky, and several mana cannons began blasting all at once, forming a mana net in the sky.

Despite the strength of the dragon corpse, even the powerful Magical Crystal Cannons could barely injure the corpse. However, Lin Li did not expect the firepower of the battles.h.i.+ps to be able to injure the dragon corpse, but rather he was only expecting it to delay the target.

Besides, if the power of the Magical Crystal Cannons could really destroy the dragon corpse’s defense, Lin Li probably wouldn’t have allowed the battles.h.i.+ps to join the operation. After all, Lin Li wanted a complete dragon corpse, not one that was battered with wounds.
