Chapter 900: Dragon Blood Essence
The seven pieces of the debris of the stars contained the purest World Laws, and if one could really fully grasp them, it would not be impossible to create a world like the mythical gods creating divine kingdoms for themselves. Of course, Lin Li couldn’t reach that realm now, and even if he were to obtain the Stars of Fury in the future, he would only be able to fully exert the power of the debris of the stars, but he would not be able to fully control them.
At Lin Li’s current realm, he could only control a small portion of the power in the debris of the stars, but compared to ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses, he wouldn’t be inferior. Of course, that did not include those who were at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and had already transcended the World Laws. They were almost gods, and their power could no longer be rivaled by the nomological power of the world.
When Lin Li felt that he was unable to obtain more power from the debris of the stars, it had nearly been a month since he returned to the Tower of Dusk.
Gavin and the other senior executives of the Tower of Dusk immediately asked Lin Li for advice for the next stage of the expansion plan for the Tower of Dusk. They also consulted him about the attitude they should give to the forces that were visiting them to cozy up to them. In fact, even they had no idea what Lin Li was going to do next at this juncture. They wondered if he was going to unify the Breezy Plains.
In the past month, there had been an astonishing number of forces that sent their representatives to the Tower of Dusk, and almost all the forces of the Breezy Plains, which were of various sizes, were gathered there. Compared to the gathering in Gran Town that took place once every three years, the scale of this meeting at the Tower of Dusk appeared to be much larger.
However, there were still many things that Lin Li needed to settle. Hence, he didn’t intend to receive anyone. He simply told Gavin and the others to discuss and make their own decisions about the business cooperation. He also notified the forces that there would be a meeting in the Breezy Plains in a month’s time.
After giving instructions on those two matters, Lin Li focused on the things that he had to handle. Meanwhile, the people outside the Tower of Dusk got into a huge uproar because of the news. Is the Tower of Dusk going to issue an ultimatum to all forces? Or are they going to re-establish the structure of forces in the Breezy Plains like what the Ashen Warlock had done?
The members of the various forces began making all sorts of speculations, but no one dared to question if the Tower of Dusk was qualified to hold a meeting like that.
However, some of them felt that the Tower of Dusk seemed to be provoking and challenging the authority of the Ashen Warlock by doing so. Although they were both Sanctuary powerhouses, the Ashen Warlock had already entered the Sanctuary-realm back in the Dark Age, and there was a huge difference between him and Lin Li, who had just stepped into the Sanctuary-realm. When the time came, there would probably be a good show.
However, at this moment, Lin Li had already arrived at the Eternal Furnace at the top of the Tower of Dusk. After entering the Sanctuary-realm and getting a better understanding of the nomological power, he had already possessed the ability to fulfill his agreement with the Ashen Warlock, and that was to create a genuine perfect body with the crystal coffin.
Of course, the perfect body would still be different from the one created by the Immortal King, who had created an actual life, and not an empty shell with no sentience. Fortunately, the Ashen Warlock only needed a new body, and Lin Li had only made some modifications to Osric’s method according to the notes written down by the Immortal King.
Underneath the crystal giant coffin, there were large mageweath arrays, emitting shocking magical waves that were surging towards the crystal coffin like tides. It made the entire crystal coffin seem even more transparent, reaching the extent that it seemed to have ceased to exist. In the crystal coffin, there was a human body that was glistening with countless magic symbols and moving up and down with the waves of mana. The perfect body did not emit the terrifying power that could destroy heaven and earth. Instead, it seemed to have become one with the world, as if it was constantly shifting between a physical body and nothingness.
Looking at the body in the crystal coffin, Connoris, who had always been Lin Li’s assistant, could not help but salivate. He could feel that that body was much stronger than his own, and was what a truly perfect body was like. If he could own such a body too, he would probably be able to enter the Sanctuary-realm in no time.
The materials that Lin Li had received from the Ashen Warlock were more than enough to create a perfect body, and it was entirely possible to create another identical body. Unfortunately, it was completely different from manipulating another Alchemy Colossus. Connoris’ soul had already fused with the perfect body created by Osric, and it definitely wouldn’t be easy to separate them.
“Well, once I fulfill the agreement with the Ashen Warlock, I can perfect your current body, or at least make up for those flaws as much as possible,” said Lin Li who tried to comfort Connoris while completing the final steps of creating the perfect body.
The mageweath arrays that had been continuously operating for over 10 days gradually became dimmer as the light was eventually extinguished. The giant crystal coffin seemed to have broken free as it was no longer as transparent as it used to be. It returned to the translucent state that it originally was in.
After creating the perfect body that the Ashen Warlock needed, Lin Li finally walked out of the Tower of Dusk for the first time in a while, but he did not attract anyone’s attention. After stepping into the Sanctuary-realm, the mana fluctuations of Lin Li’s body fused with the entire world like a drop of water fusing with the ocean. Only a powerhouse who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm would be able to sense the Sanctuary-realm fluctuations.
While everyone was unaware, Lin Li had already arrived in the sky above the small Gran Town in the northern part of the Breezy Plains. He then descended on the small square in front of the Tower of Ashes. There was an old servant who was taking a nap on the steps in front of the gate with a broom in his arms. He only yawned and took a look when the door behind him suddenly opened. However, he still did not move.
Many of the forces in the Breezy Plains had all thought about the actions that the Ashen Warlock would take against the newly advanced Sanctuary powerhouse. Hence, in Gran Town, there were already many snitches from the various forces who had, of course, indirectly allowed the residents of Gran Town to make some small profits.
Hence, as soon as Lin Li appeared in front of the Tower of Ashes, the people of those forces immediately rushed forth and surrounded the tower like flies that had smelled the odor of blood. However, due to the conditions of this world, they couldn’t pass on the news to their respective superiors in time. They could only carefully watch the situation unfold from afar.
Unfortunately, all they could see was Lin Li walking into the Tower of Ashes, after which the doors slowly closed, while the old servant continued to nap on the steps. No one knew what was happening in the Tower of Ashes. However, after waiting for a moment, they saw the Ashen Warlock escorting Lin Li out of the tower. Lin Li then vanished in the sky, while the old servant returned to the tower.
What a joke, the Ashen Warlock was a god of the Breezy Plains and a powerhouse who had been in the Sanctuary-realm for thousands of years. How could he have done such a degrading thing!? The leaders of the various forces mostly only received the news two or three days later, and the first thing they thought was that it was impossible.
However, did that mean that the witnesses had all seen it wrong? At this moment, they finally remembered the fact that the Ashen Warlock seemed to have been quite biased towards Lin Li during the last gathering at Gran Town. Back then, Lin Li was already at the peak of the Legendary-realm, and was a strong Legendary powerhouse, but compared to the Ashen Warlock, he was clearly just like an insignificant small fry. However, it was different this time. Lin Li was already a real Sanctuary powerhouse, and even though he had only advanced recently, he was of equal status with the Ashen Warlock. He was just like a child who wouldn’t be treated as nothing by an adult even though he wasn’t as powerful as an adult.
Besides, the leaders of the various forces also made a conjecture based on the fact that the Ashen Warlock had personally walked Lin Li to the gate. They reckoned that the two Sanctuary powerhouses had probably reached some agreement, and, at the very least, no matter what the Tower of Dusk was going to do next to the forces in the Breezy Plains, they couldn’t hope for the Ashen Warlock to stop him.
Could it be that they were really going to unify Breezy Plains!? Plenty of them were becoming more and more certain of that conjecture. Otherwise, what did Lin Li talk to Ashen Warlock about? Did he visit him out of nowhere just to ask for advice regarding the Sanctuary-realm?
Unfortunately, there was still quite some time to go before the meeting that Lin Li organized in the Breezy Plains. The crowd had no choice but to continue being suspicious. Moreover, they also discovered the sad fact that when they were facing a powerful Sanctuary powerhouse, they didn’t seem to have the strength to change anything no matter what the other party wanted to do.
Lin Li sent a new body to the Ashen Warlock, and as soon as he returned to the Tower of Dusk, he immediately began modifying Connoris’ body. In order to get to the place where the World Tree had collapsed and obtain the Stars of Fury, Lin Li had to do everything he could to increase his strength. When the increase in his strength reached a bottleneck, improving the strength of the people around him could be a viable option as well.
Having prior experience in creating a perfect body, it was even easier for Lin Li to modify the perfect body for Connoris. Besides, the one created by the Highlord Osric wasn’t actually that bad. Although there were flaws, they were only relative.
In fact, those flaws might not even have been a big problem for the Highlord Osric. After all, when the perfect body was pulled out of the crystal coffin back then, it already had level-26 or level-27 power that was in the Sanctuary-realm. However, the mismatch between Connoris’ soul and the perfect body caused the flaws to be magnified, thus hindering him from entering the Sanctuary-realm.
The modification of the perfect body was completed in just four days, and although Connoris could not possess Sanctuary-level power immediately like the Ashen Warlock, he had the possibility of entering the Sanctuary-realm.
After the transformation of his body was complete, Connoris could clearly feel that he had better control over his body. Although he was not entirely in control, his body and his soul managed to fuse perfectly without the flaws, and it was as if he was born with a body.
At this point, Connoris’ strength had truly reached the peak of the Legendary-realm, and it probably wouldn’t take long for him to step into the Sanctuary-realm. Even with just the strength of his perfect body now, he was still strong enough to compete with ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses.
Afterward, Lin Li used potions to deal with the dragon blood essence of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera that he had obtained in Brahere’s mausoleum.
Vampires could rely on devouring soul fire and absorbing blood essence to increase their strength, but the flaws in their bloodline would cause them to reach a bottleneck where they would never achieve a breakthrough. In order to break through, they would have to obtain a higher-grade blood essence to induce evolution of their bodies.
That was also the reason Legendary-level Vampires were rare in the Vampire community. Besides, Norfeller had only been transformed into a Vampire, and he did not have the pure bloodline of Vampires like Culostein from the Darkness Shrine. If it weren’t for the blood essence of the three green dragons that he had absorbed and the fusion with the power of their bloodline, Norfeller probably wouldn’t have entered the Legendary-realm at all.
The current Norfeller had power at the peak of level-23, and he could be considered to be on par with Culostein—the Vampire Ancestor. However, in order to further increase his strength, he would have to absorb blood essence of a more powerful bloodline that would allow him to evolve.
In fact, the bloodline of ordinary ancient wyrms would be the most suitable for Norfeller now. Although the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera was also an ancient wyrm, it was the elite of ancient wyrms that was second only to the five Dragon Aspects. The power contained in its blood essence was definitely hard to imagine for ordinary people. With Norfeller’s current strength, he definitely couldn’t withstand it.
Even Culostein who possessed pure Vampire blood could not fuse with the blood of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera, let alone Norfeller.
However, that was not a problem for Lin Li. As a pharmaceutics Guru who had a certain understanding of the Sanctuary-realm, handling Sindera’s blood essence was not exactly as easy as a pie, but it definitely wasn’t that much harder than formulating a Guru-level potion. In no time, the bottle of blood essence from Sindera turned into a shimmering silver liquid, and the originally violent power was tempered.
With Sindera’s blood essence, Norfeller would not only face zero difficulties in breaking through the bottleneck, he would also likely become the first Vampire in Anril to enter the Sanctuary-realm.
Apart from Lin Li who had entered the Sanctuary-realm, the other mages of the Tower of Dusk had also made plenty of gains from the exploration of Prince Brahere’s mausoleum this time. They had experienced several vicious battles that they had never been through before, and the Magic Array had also been refined further. The Archmages who were at the peak of level-19 had also gained a lot of insights from the battles.
