Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master Chapter 1001 - Mana Erosion

Chapter 1001: Mana Erosion

After launching a wave of offensive spells to vent his anger, Osric opened his own Domain World and suppressed Lin Li’s Domain World mercilessly. In the previous battle, Osric couldn’t be bothered to display his Domain World. If the previous battle was just a teaser, the battle now was truly a true-blue fight for life.

In Osric’s Domain World, a prosperous world that was under the rule of the High Elves was displayed, just like Anril during the Dark Age, which was recorded in history. In this Domain World, the World Tree covered more than half of the world, and a large number of High Elves could be seen in the canopy of the tree, continuously attacking Lin Li.

Even though it was just a spiritual existence, Osric’s Domain World was much bigger and stronger than Lin Li’s desolate Domain World. Under the pressure of Osric’s Domain World, Lin Li’s one world seemed to be facing doomsday as various spatial rifts appeared amidst the constant tremors. The light of the debris of the stars shone through the rifts, looking as if they would break free at any moment.

Fortunately, Osric clearly had not obtained the true essence of the Domain World yet, and thus it couldn’t be compared to the Immortal King’s Domain World. The Immortal King’s Domain World was already a real and existing one which could coexist with and be parallel to Anril. Just like the worlds that Lin Li had walked through in the past, including Alanna from 1,300 years ago and the Undead World from the resurrected Tree of Eternity, it would be able to continue existing even after the departure of the Immortal King. In fact, it would even continuously evolve and survive on its own.

Osric’s Domain World clearly had not reached the level of the Immortal King’s yet, which was the reason that Lin Li’s Domain World could survive by a small margin. Although the seven pieces of the debris of the stars continuously flashed and appeared in the rifts, they did not get shaken out under Lin Li’s control. Hence, the Domain World did not collapse under pressure.

At this moment, everyone in the expedition team had already been integrated into Lin Li’s Domain World by Lin Li. Hence, no one was idling about at all at this moment. Instead, they were continuously trying their best to resist the attacks coming from Osric’s Domain World. Deep down, they were well aware that that was all they could exhibit in a battle of this level. If they still did not put up a fight now, they would no longer have the chance to do so in the future.

The people in the expedition team felt like they were experiencing a war at the end of the Dark Age because they were facing enemies like the High Elves in Osric’s Domain World, whose countless High Elves were continuously attacking Lin Li’s Domain World. Although the strength of each and every one of the members of the expedition team had been greatly improved, they were still weak and helpless in the face of the High Elves that were pouring in endlessly. They were like a tiny boat that would face the danger of capsizing at any moment.

Lin Li did not defend himself pa.s.sively, and even though it seemed that he had been suppressed, he did not give up on finding a chance to retaliate. Although Osric was still extremely powerful now, the loss of his body had still impacted him greatly.

In particular, Osric had gone through a body fusion once, which caused plenty of his soul power to deplete. With the influence of the magical crystal, his strength was probably only at level-27 now. Although there was only a difference of one level between level-26 and level-27, the two were actually worlds apart. However, the debris of the stars that Lin Li had was already in its complete form, and could truly exert combat power that ordinary level-26 Sanctuary powerhouses could not compare to.

Osric was obviously completely enraged, especially when he saw that the insignificant minions of the expedition had actually joined the battle against him. The anger within him could not be suppressed at all.

“You’re a bunch of minions, how dare you intervene? Die!” With a loud roar of anger, Osric extended his arms, and a giant hand that was condensed by mana immediately broke through Lin Li’s Domain World and grabbed the people of the expedition.

The giant hand of mana almost covered the sky of the entire Domain World, and seemed to emit infinite pressure. Before it even landed, it made the members of the expedition feel extremely hopeless. To them, it was simply a punishment from the G.o.ds who seemed to want to destroy them and the world together.

Although Lin Li could leave the members of the Brilliance Shrine’s and Rotterdam Kingdom’s teams in the lurch, he could not abandon the elites of the Tower of Dusk from his team. He immediately waved his hand, and seven dazzling rays of light immediately emerged from the Domain World, forming a large colorful storm below the mana hand.

BOOM!

The giant mana hand collided with the colorful storm forcefully, causing the entire Domain World to shake violently as well. Thunderous sounds came with the appearance of the rifts in the s.p.a.ce, and the sky and earth were continuously shattering amidst the tremors. The members of the expedition below the storm were also shaking violently, and were unable to stabilize themselves. They fell onto the ground in a messy manner.

On the other hand, the giant mana hand that had collided with the colorful storm did not disperse separately, but instead reached a stalemate with it. The colorful storm was continuously revolving around the hand like a grinding wheel, wearing it down and making ear-piercing sounds of metal being rubbed against stone. When the members of the expedition heard those sounds, they found them extremely deafening, and it was as if their heads were about to burst because of the noise.

If it had been in the past when Lin Li had not obtained the other half of the debris of the stars from the Well of the Sun, the colorful storm formed by the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars probably would have been slapped away and dispersed by the giant mana hand. However, Lin Li was now holding complete pieces of debris of the stars, and he also simultaneously obtained more experience in using the debris of the stars from the Immortal King’s incarnation. His combat power had increased by more than a few dozen times.

Lin Li continuously triggered the release of the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, and dazzling rays of light were fused into the colorful storm. Despite being under the pressure of the mana hand, the colorful storm did not decline at all, and instead grew even stronger. As the colorful storm revolved continuously and wore Osric’s mana hand down, the hand seemed to have almost become illusory.

“You’ve obtained what he wanted. Indeed, he’s left everything for himself!” Although he had long seen Lin Li using the debris of the stars, Osric got even more infuriated when he truly felt its power.

Osric had used the debris of the stars before. Back in the mausoleum, his perfect body used the debris of the stars, Nothingness. However, a powerhouse like Osric who was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm did not take the power of the incomplete debris of the stars seriously.

However, through the collision between the giant mana hand and the colorful storm now, Osric was immediately certain that the power of the debris of the stars in Lin Li’s hand was far from comparable to the power contained in the debris of the stars that he had used. If Osric still could not guess anything from the changes, he wouldn’t deserve to be called a mythical figure second only to the Immortal King.

As the Immortal King’s favorite disciple, Osric had always thought that he would have a share of his teacher’s legacy, be it the Sky Castle or the debris of the stars. However, the reality was that the Immortal King not only did not leave the Sky Castle to him, he had also given the debris of the stars to someone else, which was unacceptable to him.

However, Lin Li was baffled by Osric’s angry words. Clearly, Lin Li had obtained the debris of the stars himself, but Osric seemed to have said that the Immortal King had left everything for himself, including the debris of the stars and more. When Osric s.n.a.t.c.hed the magical crystal, he seemed to have said the same thing.

Lin Li knew since long ago that he seemed to be very similar to the Immortal King in terms of appearance, and there had been many people who mistook him for the Immortal King in the past too. However, Osric was the Immortal King’s disciple who had followed the Immortal King for countless years, so how could he be mistaken for someone just because of his appearance?

Through the conversation he had with the Immortal King’s Soul Imprint in the Well of the Sun, Lin Li could vaguely feel that his arrival in Anril seemed to have something to do with the Immortal King. However, Lin Li definitely did not think that his physical existence and the Immortal King would have anything to do with each other.

However, facing the furious Osric, Lin Li knew that he couldn’t ask anything, and was too weak to do so anyway. At any rate, the Immortal King’s Soul Imprint had already mentioned that it was possible to get all the answers by going to the place where the Well of the Sun was supposed to be, which was the same place that the Tree of Eternity had fallen.

For Lin Li, the most important thing now was how to defeat Osric and finally gain control of the entire Sky Castle. Even though Osric had lost his body, souls of Sanctuary powerhouses were almost indestructible. Lin Li could probably only truly destroy Osric’s soul when he reached the Immortal King’s strength.

However, with Lin Li’s current strength, it was almost impossible to destroy Osric’s soul even if he had the help of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars.

In the blink of an eye, Osric’s mana hand that had invaded Lin Li’s Domain World vanished under the colorful storm. However, that did not mean that Lin Li had obtained victory. The mana hand contained Osric’s spiritual imprint, and even after being reduced to mana, it still existed independently in Lin Li’s Domain World, destroying the entire structure of the Domain World like a virus.

In the face of the penetrative and pervasive erosion of mana, Lin Li had no choice but to summon the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, after which numerous rays of light swept through the sky and the ground.
