Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master
chapter-1009

However, the Domain World that Lin Li had constructed this time did not involve the use of any debris of the stars. Instead, he constructed it using his understanding of the world, which had improved greatly especially after going through those battles. Although his current Domain World was not as powerful as the one constructed from the debris of the stars, it had higher tenacity.

Despite seeing that the Black Flames Flowers were burning the exterior of the Domain World, Lin Li raised Helios’ Scepter unhurriedly, causing the entire Domain World to begin operating together with his movements. The power from the Domain World was just like an extension of Lin Li’s limbs. It no longer seemed as obscure as before. Waves of power of the world were continuously vibrating and coordinating well, thus gradually extinguishing the Black Flames Flowers.

However, Lin Li had yet to fully achieve his agenda. He could not simply defend, as that would cause him to slip into a passive position where he could not make a comeback, especially when dealing with an opponent like Geresco. In terms of seizing opportunities, there was probably no one in Anril who could compare to Geresco. Hence, Lin Li had to deny the other party any chance to take advantage of something, and think of ways to turn the latter’s opportunities into traps.

While Lin Li was using the vibrating power of the world to extinguish the Black Flames Flowers, his Domain World was also continuously expanding and disintegrating as if it was about to collapse, and power of the world seemed to have become unrestrained as it spread towards its surroundings.

Although Geresco had seen the changes in Lin Li’s Domain World, he did not take the bait. Instead, he waved his staff in his hand, after which a massive lightning halo expanded in all directions with his body as the center, bouncing off all the world power that Lin Li had spread towards him.

Geresco’s response was not beyond Lin Li’s expectations. If Geresco had taken the bait so easily, Lin Li would not have been tortured for such a long time. After the world power he manipulated was bounced away, Lin Li immediately waved his Helios’ Scepter, and the Six-pointed Star emitted rays of black and white light. It was also spinning rapidly and scattering the light in all directions, almost engulfing Geresco’s figure.

After colliding with the rays of black and white light, the lightning halo that Geresco had just released did not get bounced off like before. Instead, it seemed to have penetrated it without any obstructions, as if it was moving through the air.

Lin Li used the power of light and darkness as well as Space Power on the Black and White Six-Pointed Star to place it on a parallel surface. Since the Black and White Six-Pointed Star and the Lightning Halo did not exist in the same layer of space, the Lightning Halo of course could not bounce off the power of light and darkness.

However, due to the fact that they did not exist in the same layer of space, the power of the Black and White Six-Pointed Star could not cause any substantial damage to Geresco. However, Lin Li’s purpose of doing that was not to scare the other party. Amidst the rotation of the Black and White Six-Pointed Star, a black hole was formed in the middle of the six-pointed star. A powerful suction force was generated, shrouding Geresco’s incarnation. At the same time, a hand of light and darkness appeared from the black hole, and reached towards the bottom of Geresco’s incarnation.

That magic spell was known as the Right Hand of God in the theurgy of Holy Light. A single grasp of it could uproot a city and bring it into another dimension. Legend had it that when the Brilliance Shrine and the Supreme Council worked together to get rid of the Black Current in the Sunset Mountains back then, Pope Rosario had once used that magic spell to capture tens of thousands of rampaging magical beasts, after which he placed them in a different dimension.

The Right Hand of God that Lin Li cast was even more powerful than the one that Pope Rosario had used back then. Due to the fact that the target was only Geresco’s incarnation, the power was even more cohesive, and was much more difficult to resist. If Lin Li had cast it at another level-25 Sanctuary powerhouse, they might have already been brought to another dimension.

However, despite being faced with the hand of darkness that was reaching out to him at the bottom, as well as the powerful suction force of the black hole, Geresco did not seem to take them seriously at all. Just as the hand of darkness was about to land, a faint halo appeared around Geresco. All of the light then surged upwards, and converged into a pillar of light that darted towards the air.

After the silent contact, the hand of light and darkness fell into the pillar of light, as if it was moving into a white hole from another black hole. After the light pillar engulfed the hand of light and darkness, it shot into the black hole in the center of the six-pointed star, instantly causing it to be shrouded by light. When the light dispersed, everything disappeared without a trace, as if none of it had ever existed.

However, at this very moment, there seemed to be sudden changes in Geresco’s surroundings. The hall that was as large as the library had already vanished, and was replaced by a barren world. Lin Li stood quietly near it with an extremely sly smirk.

Indeed, that place was Lin Li’s World Domain. Through various designs and schemes, he had finally incorporated Geresco’s incarnation into his Domain World. In the Domain World, Lin Li was the supreme god. If Geresco’s incarnation had level-26 strength, he might not be affected greatly, but the incarnation was restricted to level-25, after all.

Although Lin Li could not completely kill Geresco’s incarnation even in his own Domain World, his advantage of being on his own territory could not be removed.

Previously, Lin Li disintegrated his own Domain World and maximized the spread of the power of the world in hopes that he would be able to incorporate Geresco’s incarnation into his Domain World when he reconstructed it. At that time, Geresco’s incarnation obviously already knew Lin Li’s intentions. Hence, he cast a magic spell to make Lin Li’s world power bounce away.

However, Lin Li did not allow the world power to bounce away freely. Instead, while casting the Right Hand of God, he seeped the diffused world power into the spatial level of the six-pointed star. On the other hand, Geresco’s incarnation likewise used Space Power to bring himself to another spatial level in order to resist the attack of the Right Hand of God.

At this moment, Lin Li used the world power that he had long prepared to reconstruct the Domain World in the same spatial layer, and to incorporate Geresco’s incarnation into his Domain World. Although the process seemed simple, it actually involved profound knowledge of magic. He had also reached a certain level of extremity in the techniques of using magic.

Besides, the exchange of blows only took place for a second. Previously, Lin Li would have never been able to complete all these arrangements in such a short time.

Lin Li had incorporated Geresco’s incarnation into his Domain World. Although he did not launch a final attack, it was obvious who had obtained victory. Once a level-25 Sanctuary powerhouse was in the Domain World of a level-26 Sanctuary powerhouse, all experience and skills would be of no use, and their realms would be the decisive factor.

Geresco’s incarnation had indeed stopped all of his movements too. After looking around at the scene in the Domain World, he finally looked at Lin Li, and his sullen face finally eased up. He calmly said, “The Immortal King has gone on a wrong path, and I think I have too. I wonder what your future path will be like.”

Lin Li initially planned to show off a little, and he expected to hear some praises from Geresco too. However, to his surprise, he heard those words. With a look of astonishment, he immediately asked, “Path? What do you mean?”

However, Geresco’s incarnation did not answer Lin Li’s question. He seemed to be relaxed because he had completed his mission, and his figure gradually became transparent. Soon, he vanished out of sight.

“Hey, what exactly do you mean!?” Lin Li probed. However, he still did not get any answers, even after Geresco’s mana fluctuations completely disappeared from his Domain World.

With the disappearance of Geresco’s incarnation, the surroundings changed again, and everything became warped and blurry. However, they soon returned to normal again. At this moment, Lin Li looked at the spot behind him, only to see his subordinates, Archbishop Martin and the others, as well as the magic books that were floating around slowly.

In the eyes of Archbishop Martin and others, the space was also distorted. They watched as Lin Li’s figure gradually appeared together with the magic books that seemed to be floating down slowly like they were struck with the Levitation Spell.

“Master Felic, it’s great that you’re alright. Where did you and Geresco’s incarnation go just now?” Seeing that Lin Li seemed to be fine, Archbishop Martin immediately greeted him with happiness written all over his face. While walking, he asked about what had happened.

“Nothing, I just received some pointers about magic from Geresco’s incarnation,” Lin Li answered briefly. He did not go into detail about what happened just now, and instead began to put those magic books into the Ring of Endless Storm one by one.

Archbishop Martin and Donald were somewhat jealous to see Lin Li putting away the precious magic books for himself. However, that was all they felt. After all, the Sky Castle belonged to Lin Li. Hence, everything in the Sky Castle would naturally belong to Lin Li too. Besides, the Brilliance Shrine specialized in Holy Light Magic, while the Rotterdam Kingdom focused on the research of alchemy. Hence, magic books were not too valuable to them.

Since Lin Li was not willing to explain what happened when he disappeared, Archbishop Martin and Donald could not probe further, either. If Lin Li had made some great gains, it would just make them feel even more envious and jealous. Hence, knowing that would create more trouble for themselves.

Of course, Lin Li had, in fact, gotten a greater gain, just like what Archbishop Martin and Donald were worried about. Through this period of fighting with Geresco’s incarnation, the experience and skills he had gained from the Book of Eternity and various other means had been verified well, and he had turned the belongings of others into his own.

That definitely played a huge role in the increase of Lin Li’s combat power. Previously in the Well of the Sun, Lin Li’s strength had reached the peak of level-26 through the battle with the Immortal King’s incarnation. However, that was only in terms of power. If one could not use his power well, he would be worlds apart from level-27 even if he had reached the peak of level-26.

However, after the sharpening of his skills that Geresco’s incarnation had put him through, Lin Li could already maximize the power that he held. He was truly a step away from level-27. The only thing that Lin Li needed now was an opportunity for advancement. As long as the opportunity arrived, there would be no slip-ups in his advancement to level-27.

The magic books actually did not have much of a purpose for Lin Li, but they could fill the library of the Tower of Dusk to a great extent. Moreover, with these magic books, the mages of the Tower of Dusk could have an even greater advantage when learning magic. After all, they were all written by Geresco, and were truly meant for humans.

After putting all the magic books away, Lin Li led the crowd through the hall of the library following the structural layout of the central tower. They arrived at the spot that could bring them to the next floor, but a problem cropped up there. There were clearly stairs, but when Lin Li and the others made their way up, they ended up back in the hall of the first floor when they reached the end of the stairs.

“Is there some magic gear here?” Archbishop Martin asked Lin Li in puzzlement.

Lin Li took a closer look at the stairs, but he did not manage to see any traces of magic gears or magic traps. At the same time, he did not sense any strange magical waves, either. The stairs were just like ordinary stairs. Refusing to give up, Lin Li brought them up the stairs again and again, but the outcome was always the same as they would always end up in the hall on the first floor.

At this moment, Lin Li suddenly thought of Geresco’s incarnation. Although Geresco’s incarnation was indeed restricted to level-25, he could beat Lin Li, a level-26 Sanctuary powerhouse, up. Could it be that the second floor was inaccessible to him now due to his current strength?

He was now at level-26, and after receiving the pointers from Geresco’s incarnation who had helped sharpen his skills too, he had gained complete control of level-26 power, and was just one step away from level-27. Once he reached level-27, he would definitely encounter similar issues. If he wanted to master the power of level-27 as quickly as possible, he would probably still need Geresco’s guidance. In that case, could Geresco have left another test for him on the second floor of the tower?

In any case, Lin Li was at least certain that the existence of the tower should not pose any threat to his control of the Sky Castle.
