Chapter 1031: Continuous Battles

Its silver body was considered smaller among the wyrms, but compared to humans, it was still rather large. However, its large body turned into a silver lightning which immediately dashed towards Lin Li, issuing the loud sounds of the rapid expansion of the air.

When the Silver Wyrm appeared, Lin Li already understood the workings of the Barbarous Arena. Hence, he had long kept his guard up. Looking at the moving body of the Silver Wyrm, Lin Li immediately reacted. An ice wall that was thicker and heavier than a city wall immediately appeared in front of him. At the same time, his body vanished behind the ice wall.

The silver lightning struck the ice wall, but it did not make any sounds of a violent impact. The Silver Wyrm’s figure appeared behind the ice wall, which also exploded into a thick fog. As the fog faded, a massive hole gradually appeared.

The ice wall was not an ordinary ice wall, but rather was cast by Lin Li, a Sanctuary powerhouse. It was as hard as diamond, and would never melt. Even if the ice wall was struck continuously by Legendary magic spells for a year, they might not even leave any trace on it. Although a powerful strike from a Sanctuary powerhouse could shatter the ice wall, it would be several times harder to penetrate it.

The Silver Wyrm did not use any Space Power, and instead relied on its powerful body and its lightning speed to bore a massive hole in the ice wall. Even Lin Li couldn’t help but have a change of expression as his heart was filled with immense excitement.

At Lin Li’s level, it was not easy for him to find an opponent. There were very few Sanctuary powerhouses in Anril in the first place, and it was even rarer for there to be any that could fight Lin Li. Those who had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm thanks to the magic tides recently were only pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses who were not qualified to become Lin Li’s opponents at all. Sanctuary powerhouses like the three Arbitrators of the Sanctuary-realm could not always train with Lin Li, either. Although there were Sanctuary powerhouses who were of the same strength as Lin Li, the lives of Sanctuary powerhouses were very precious. Who would fight him toe-to-toe for no reason?

Hence, to Lin Li, having an opponent of equal strength who could go all out and fight with him was much more valuable than any massive amount of wealth.

Nonetheless, he was facing an opponent of equal strength. Hence, Lin Li soon suppressed his excitement and his expression returned to normal as he became composed again. He raised the Helios’ Scepter in his hand, and engaged the wyrm calmly.

After the Silver Wyrm missed, it also immediately exerted its Space Power, while its massive body moved nimbly in the space. It chased after Lin Li’s figure, and launched a series of frenzied attacks like the Space Shuttle, Space Shackle, Space Trap, and many other peculiar attacks at him.

The Silver Wyrm was like the master of the space in the arena. Lin Li’s powerful offensive spells were immediately devoured by the spatial black hole, while the bizarre yet lethal attacks passed through space without any hindrance. They appeared around Lin Li without warning, and even his Domain World could not stop them.

However, Lin Li was not getting beaten up passively. He did not get abused by Geresco’s incarnation and learn those combat techniques for nothing. The gemstone on top of the Helios’ Scepter shone brightly, and he continuously cast powerful magic spells that bombarded the Silver Wyrm ferociously without mercy.

The battle between the two Sanctuary powerhouses was definitely groundbreaking, and the roaring noises were incessant. When the two powerful forces collided, it resulted in horrifying spatial rifts. If such an intense battle had happened in Anril, the space would have long collapsed and crumbled. The aftershocks of the battle were probably enough to destroy a city countless times.

However, despite the intense battle, the Barbarous Arena was not damaged in the slightest. The inconspicuous ground and the stone pillars that had been existing for numerous years did not chip despite the powerful impact of the Silver Wyrm’s and Lin Li’s horrifying magical bombardment.

The exciting battle caused Lin Li to unknowingly fuse the knowledge that he had learned from Geresco with his body, and the mana in him was fully triggered, just like a river that was flowing calmly turning into a raging flood. Under the support of the endless mana, Lin Li cast the magic spells continuously, but he was not purely pouring out mana.

After all, Lin Li was now facing an opponent whose strength was similar to his, and who was perhaps even much stronger than him; it was not something that could be suppressed with a magic storm. Unlike magic storms that were formed with a large number of magic spells, Lin Li was continuously casting a large number of magic spells without stopping. However, he planned every magic spell—each had a specific purpose.

The momentary intersection between darkness and light, the intertwining between the biting cold and blazing flames, and the various Elemental Laws were exhibiting incredible power and function under Lin Li’s control. After just a few minutes of fighting, Lin Li gained control of the battle’s rhythm. Although the two of them seemed to be on par with each other, the Silver Wyrm had actually fallen into a trap under Lin Li’s coercion.

As Lin Li controlled the pace of battle, scars gradually began to appear on the Silver Wyrm’s body that was covered in shiny scales. In the end, when the Light and Darkness Sword pierced the space and the massive mouth of the Silver Wyrm, it stopped moving, and its massive body gradually became transparent. In the end, it vanished without a trace.

Holding the Helios’ Scepter in his hand, Lin Li quietly looked at the place where the Silver Wyrm vanished, and he quickly recalled the battle just now while analyzing the gains and losses. The experience that he had gained from such an evenly matched battle was a massive amount of wealth, and every bit of enlightenment would mean a substantial increase in his abilities.

About a minute after the Silver Wyrm vanished, a powerful magical wave appeared in the space opposite Lin Li. Next, a massive wave of mana emerged from the space again, followed by a Fire Demon that was covered in flames. With the appearance of the Fire Demon, the entire arena seemed to have become a furnace as the heat that could melt steel filled the entire space.

Compared to the Fire Demon King that Lin Li had encountered back in Osric’s mausoleum, this Fire Demon was countless times stronger, and the surging mana wave showed that it had already reached the middle of level-27. In the Endless Abyss, such a powerful Fire Demon was definitely more dominant than a Lord of the Abyss. However, it somehow appeared in the Barbarous Arena.

After appearing, the Fire Demon roared in exasperation, and began attacking Lin Li ferociously without hesitation. The Domain World that the Fire Demon exhibited was a world of lava where the ground was covered in lava, while the sky was like an inverted sea of fire from where large and small lava fireballs were constantly dripping down like rain. With a loud roar of the Fire Demon, the entire world of lava began burning up, and streams of lava formed a massive wave that smashed against Lin Li in a groundbreaking manner.

The waves formed by the lava contained the Lava Laws that the Fire Demon had mastered. The power of each stream of lava was akin to that of a Legendary-level magic spell. They were stacked upon each other like they were endless. Under the constant pounding of the lava waves, Lin Li’s Domain World let out groans like it was overwhelmed. The spatial barriers were soon covered in cracks.

However, in the face of these, Lin Li remained still, and continued to cast magic spells that seemed ineffective. The magic spells that he cast vanished as soon as they entered the world of lava. Even a heavy rainstorm would vanish in it.

Seeing his opponent’s feeble counterattack, a look of contempt formed on the Fire Demon’s hideous face. Initially, he could already sense that Lin Li’s mana was not inferior to his, and he thought that it would be difficult to deal with him. Hence, he went all out as soon as the battle began, but it seemed that humans were just humans. Even if he was lucky to step into the Sanctuary-realm, he was still no match for the Fire Demon.

Despite being a little disdainful, the Fire Demon did not relax because of this, and instead increased the intensity of his attack after roaring. He had already gotten sick of that game, and he just wanted to finish off that tiny human as soon as possible before seeing what kind of place he had come to.

“Freeze!”

As soon as the Fire Demon intensified its attack, Lin Li suddenly hollered in a low voice, and pointed the Helios’ Scepter forward. Immediately, a burst of extreme chilliness suddenly emerged from the streams of bright red lava, which were extinguished without any struggle. At the same time, thick layers of frost covered the solidified lava, as if it had turned into a wall of frost.

After freezing the lava wave, the extreme chilliness spread towards the surroundings without stopping. In the blink of an eye, it turned the Lava World of the Fire Demon into a snowfield. The spot beneath the Fire Demon’s feet was the only area that still looked like lava. However, he could still see the entanglement between ice and fire.

If the Fire Demon had just stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, he would probably have been in huge trouble. He might even have to give up his body. However, a level-27 Fire Demon was now standing in the arena, and he was much stronger than Lin Li. Despite having been set up by Lin Li, he got even angrier, and refused to lose the upper hand.

The Fire Demon stomped his feet forcefully, and a ball of flames began spreading towards the surroundings with his body as its center, thus turning the frost a bright, fiery red color. Next, the dense sounds of fire cackling echoed in the arena as the frost that was covering the lava shattered and began burning in the flames.

Despite the changes, Lin Li did not seem dejected. If the Fire Demon was finished off like that, he would be disappointed in the Barbarous Arena and the fire demon. A battle between Sanctuary powerhouses was not a comparison of mana strength or the understanding and usage of nomological power. Instead, it was a comparison of their mastery of the World Laws.

The final victory of the battle between Lin Li and the Fire Demon was only one aspect. Most importantly, he had found something worth learning from the Fire Demon, such as combat experience, power origin, and the mysteries of the Domain World. To Lin Li, the process of the battle was a learning experience. Of course, once Lin Li truly mastered everything from his opponent, there would be no doubt about the outcome of the battle.

However, the Fire Demon was stronger than Lin Li, after all. Besides, in the Endless Abyss, every minute and second was a chance for a battle, and he would definitely get rich combat experience. Otherwise, there would be no way for him to survive in the Endless Abyss, let alone enter the Sanctuary-realm.

Although Lin Li had obtained all sorts of knowledge from Geresco, the battle with the Sanctuary-level Fire Demon was still incredibly difficult. The two of them fought for dozens of hours, until their energy clearly began to drain. With a minor advantage, Lin Li painstakingly sent the Fire Demon back to the Endless Abyss.

However, although the Fire Demon had broken free, it still wasn’t over for Lin Li. A few minutes after Lin Li defeated the Fire Demon, another wave of horrifying mana landed in the Barbarous Arena.

This time, the opponent who appeared was a High Elf that was dressed in a resplendent battle suit. He was clearly more powerful than the Fire Demon, and was near the peak of level-27. Lin Li could tell from the attire of the High Elf that he was a royal, but he did not know his exact identity.

The High Elf royal immediately kept his eyes fixed on Lin Li as soon as he appeared in the Barbarous Arena. He did not seem confused at all, nor did he try to figure out where he was. He was holding a luxurious longsword which had a gemstone on the hilt.

Like the previous two opponents, this High Elf royal had no intention of talking to Lin Li at all. He simply picked up his sword, and launched a murderous attack on Lin Li.

Unlike the High Elves, humans had a variety of combat professions such as Mages, Sword Sages, and Assassins due to their own limitations. However, every High Elf could be considered an all-rounded elite.
