Chapter 467: Legendary-Realm

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Li did not like to gamble in the past, because there was a lack of sufficient temptation. This time, the temptation was huge enough…

Lin Li definitely would not expect that just when he was feeling overwhelmed by all the ancient Demon Language, the former ancient deity, Connoris, was also feeling overwhelmed by Lin Li’s vast mental strength. When he was transmitting the demonic runes through his mental strength to Lin Li, Connoris developed a new fear of that man…

The moment when the two’s mental strength integrated let Connoris feel like a small boat sailing in the vast ocean. Despite having his usual composure, Connoris could not help but feel confusion he had never experienced. It was like he had lost his way and was without a sense of direction…

At that instant, Connoris was very grateful to have resisted his vile temptation…

As a soul, it would be a much awaited opportunity for Connoris if there was a powerful Archmage willing to open his mental strength entirely. He could use the chance to gain control of the Archmage and take over his body. This body would be more useful and better than what the Eternal Furnace could create. To Connoris, Lin Li’s offer was filled with temptation.

Connoris did not know how that thought appeared in his mind. However, Connoris gave up on the intention so quickly that he did not know why he did that…

Connoris started to feel really fortunate…

He was lucky for not giving in to that temptation. If not, there would be dire consequences. There weren’t any ancient deities in the Prehistoric Age who could challenge such powerful mental strength. One could only describe the mental strength of Lin Li as horrifying. It was not what any being—even God—could take over, not to mention control. Even if one wished to leave a trap in his mental strength, they would be repelled immediately. When that happened, even if Lin Li’s mental strength’s was totally exposed, he would have a way to drag Connoris to hell with him.

In the end, the Soul Trader was a businessman. True businessmen would pursue mutual benefits, and not commit themselves to a deed that wouldn’t be advantageous to the parties involved…

The thought of that encouraged Connoris to loosen the knot of that mental strength package and release the paragraph of the demonic runes into Lin Li’s mental strength.

“BOOM!”

At that moment, Lin Li thought he heard a loud clang. Yet, it was as though he had not heard it too. There were too many things going on in his mind. Suddenly, the world became silent. It was as though the snowflakes in the air and the stars in the sky had quieted down. The crazy winds stopped howling, the snowflakes stopped dancing, and the black flames stopped burning. Lin Li could feel that even time had stopped trickling…

Lin Li opened his eyes slowly, and used a renewed gaze to look at the world before him. Nothing changed, but it felt as though everything had become full of vicissitudes.

The Humerus Wyrm was still the Humerus Wyrm, and the Lord of Darkness was still the Lord of Darkness. But, they were not as inaccessible to Lin Li as before.

Lin Li tried to mutter a spell. He felt a never-ending stream of Legendary-level energy…

“This can’t be…” Lin Li suddenly felt something was amiss. He had finished the last bottle of the Seethe of Mana Potion, but…

Why is the Legendary power still within me? And it has become stronger and more real. Could it be…

“I know. It is the Legendary-realm. The Legendary-realm…” Lin Li repeated his words. Then, he looked at the Lord of Darkness below him and smiled suddenly.

“You have finally reached the Legendary-realm…” That was Connoris, the former ancient deity. His tone was sour and riddled with jealousy. It couldn’t be helped. Despite being an ancient deity that was born with tyrannical powers, Connoris would require a long time before he could reach the Legendary-realm. Yet, the human mage 20 years old had already acquired a set of powers desired by countless demons. An ancient deity like Connoris could not help but feel envious of Lin Li who could reach the realm at such an age…

“I should thank you instead.” Lin Li was right. If not for Connoris, he would still need quite a few days or a month to reach the Legendary-realm. After all, that integration between their mental strength was not as simple as a lesson about demonic runes. Although its duration was short, Connoris’s memory and knowledge were transmitted into Lin Li’s mind through mental strength. That memory and knowledge belonged to an ancient deity, and the message within it would never be what common mages could imagine.

Of course, this was closely related to how Lin Li reached the Legendary-realm. Before this, he was already extremely close to the realm. When he acquired Connoris’s memory and knowledge, it would only be reasonable for him to achieve it…

“Alright, it is time to discuss things with the Lord of Darkness…” Having acquired the demonic runes from Connoris and reached the Legendary-realm unexpectedly, Lin Li was extremely confident regarding the rest of the battle. He was certain that both the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Souls were going to become his prizes from Tharlen.

As Lin Li raised the Aether Staff slowly like a flag of an army, the 100 Angels of Light and Dark spread their wings. Snowflakes fell from the sky as they raced towards the Lord of Darkness…

The entrance of the Angels of Light and Dark transformed the stagnating battle.

Before this, the Lord of Darkness still had a chance to escape despite being cornered by his enemies. However, things changed when the Angels of Light and Dark made their entrance. After all, although these angels seemed a little frail, each of them was created with the laws of light and dark. They were the strongest life force within the Magical Domain. The sharpened magical weapons and vicious demons and magical beasts were nothing compared to them.

These angels were at least level-18, and their energy would never dwindle as long as they stayed within the Magical Domain. If Lin Li’s mana could be sustained, they could continue their battle until the Magical Domain collapsed…

Their combat strategy was akin to that of the Azteks. They had almighty physical strength that could give anyone goosebumps, and the movements of their spears were as orderly as a well-trained troop’s. They were a challenge to the Lord of Darkness. Most importantly, these Angels of Light and Dark would be ready to pounce fearlessly onto the lord as soon as they got injured. What followed would be a loud eruption of the force of light and dark. The impact would be even greater than that of the Live Bombs of the Azteks…

The Azteks and their Live Bombs were what inspired Lin Li. Dark and light were originally two types of mantras. What Lin Li did was just merge Gloomy Dark with Holy Light forcefully. When the two forces exploded, their impact would surely be more powerful than that of the Live Bombs…

Even if the Lord of Darkness gained its powers from the Dragon of Destruction, and even if it could absorb unlimited powers from the stars and void, it could not help but feel pressured by the Angels of Light and Dark. It could not help it. There were hundreds of level-18 monsters that were both unafraid of death and never exhausted. To a Legendary powerhouse, they were extremely threatening enemies. Furthermore, there was a Lin Li who had really acquired abilities from the Legendary-realm…

And that was not the most fatal issue…

To the Lord of Darkness, it was the spell that human mage was reciting…

The spell was obscure and short. Although it only contained mere 18 syllables, the recitation of it made the lord who only knew to kill shriek in fear…

This was the first time any emotions appeared in the shrieks of the Lord of Darkness… Of course, it could very well be the last time…

Lin Li held the Aether Staff tightly. His long black robe was flapping violently and noisily due to the crazy winds. Each of the 18 demonic runes Lin Li spat carried massive and mysterious energy from the prehistoric times. Every rune was like a nail that nailed the Lord of Darkness in his coffin securely!

Finally, the Lord of Darkness let out a heart-rending growl. A sense of hopelessness reverberated across the entire world…

What followed was the melting of the thick snow that had been accumulated. Snowflakes stopped dancing, and the entire world returned to its original state. There was the pathway that was filled with corpses and treasures, and the sky filled with bright shining stars. The Humerus Wyrm descended and brought the pallid Lin Li down slowly. The Lord of Darkness knelt on the ground with a knee and stuck its powerful sword into the ground to support its frail body…

That once formidable Lord of Darkness lost its former ruthlessness. It became like a helpless lamb at its feet, and was subjected to its butchers.

That paragraph of demonic runes was scarier than metal wires and chains. It had the ability to restrain souls. As long as it was a demon from the Abyss of Tharlen, it would never be able to escape this force that existed since the prehistoric times. Even if it was a reincarnation of the Dragon of Destruction, the Lord of Darkness was no exception…

The Lord of Darkness had lost all of his combat energy. Lin Li would be able to erase it from this world if he wanted.

However, Lin Li was not much better off than the lord. His face was white, and his massive magic waves had been reduced to the minimum after creating the Magical Domain and casting the demonic runes. Anyone who saw him would have thought that this young mage had depleted his last bit of strength…

Of course, no one would know that when Lin Li stepped down from the back of the Humerus Wyrm, the hammer on his back actually jumped.

“He’s here. Mephistos is here…”

“Alright,” Lin Li acknowledged Connoris’s words cautiously. In fact, he had seen Mephistos the moment Connoris jumped on his back. There was a sudden distortion in the void. A creature with two horns on his head, a body covered with scales, and a long tail appeared. He sneaked into the world constructed by void and stars silently like a ghost…
