Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master

That was also the reason they pinned all their hopes on Lin Li. Even though they knew how slim the chances were, they still did not want to see Lin Li giving up that easily.
However, everyone was soon shocked to find that the mana waves of Lin Li’s body were surging upwards rapidly while emitting a faint, subtle pressure that could not be ignored.
If that was all, it would not be enough to prove anything. After all, there were too many ways to simply increase one’s mana. However, the pressure that was gradually getting stronger made others think of the only possibility that was simply unbelievable.
If they were of the same realm, the difference in strength could only bring a sense of oppression that would be present when a skinny person was facing a strong and burly one. Only the difference in realm would make one feel oppressed to the extent of being too afraid to look, just like a mortal facing a god.
Could it be… that he had already entered the Sanctuary-realm!?Although everyone had pinned their hopes on Lin Li, and hoped that he could create a miracle that would turn the situation around during the critical juncture, everything that was happening to Lin Li was clearly even more exaggerated and unbelievable compared to the miracle they had imagined.
Reaching the peak of the Legendary-realm in one’s twenties was already an unprecedented matter in the history of Anril. Even geniuses like Osric and Geresco had never achieved it. Yet, Lin Li managed to do it at such a young age, achieving a feat that was akin to a mortal becoming a god. Since when had the world become that crazy!?
Joseph thought, This is impossible, he must have overdrafted his mana and mental strength to force his power to advance!
Joseph was the first to refuse to believe what he saw. Although the strength displayed by the Tower of Dusk was absolutely shocking, he felt that they would be in a situation where no one could do anything about it after leaving even if he couldn’t find an opportunity to strike the Tower of Dusk during the trip. He believed that it would be possible with the power and foundation of the Mithril Alliance.
However, a Sanctuary powerhouse was already a powerful existence that was close to a deity, and Sanctuary powerhouses possessed the massive power that would allow them to manipulate and control the World Laws as well as destroy the world. True Sanctuary powerhouses in Anril were few and far between. They were powerful existences who stood on top of the world. If Lin Li really became a Sanctuary powerhouse, it would no longer be a simple matter of breaking the balance. He would have power that was greater than the Mithril Alliance.
Why did the Mithril Alliance, which had thousands of years of heritage not inferior to that of the Brilliance Shrine in the Breezy Plains, still have to carefully abide by the rules laid down by the Ashen Warlock? It was because they did not have a Sanctuary powerhouse. In the eyes of a real Sanctuary powerhouse, they were nothing but insignificant ants, regardless of how rich of a background they had, and how powerful and massive of a force they were. Even a beginner of the Sanctuary-realm would be able to easily wipe out the entire Mithril Alliance.
Given the relationship between the Mithril Alliance and the Tower of Dusk, the Mithril Alliance would definitely have a hard time in the future if Lin Li really became a Sanctuary powerhouse! At the thought of that, Joseph could not help but shiver. He could only hope that Lin Li had used some kind of tactic to gain such power for a short period of time.Compared to Joseph, others obviously weren’t as worried—especially the Glittergold Trade Union. Hoffman and the rest were eager for the Tower of Dusk to gain more power and become stronger. The Sanctuary powerhouses that were currently present in Anril were basically from the Dark Age, and could be considered mythical figures. Forging ties with them would be akin to mortals trying to befriend the gods. It was almost unimaginable.
However, Lin Li was different. The Glittergold Trade Union and the Tower of Dusk had started working together a long time ago, and as their cooperation progressed, the Glittergold Trade Union could be considered the strongest ally of the Tower of Dusk. When Lin Li stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, he was destined to have a place on the summit of Anril. At the same time, the Tower of Dusk would also have a significant position in Anril. As the strongest ally of the Tower of Dusk, the Glittergold Trade Union would undoubtedly benefit from the growth of the Tower of Dusk as well. Forming a cooperation with the Tower of Dusk was undeniably the best decision that Hoffman had ever made since he became the President of the Glittergold Trade Union.
At this moment, Lin Li, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a ray of golden light in his pupils that resembled a bolt of lightning flashing past the sky in the dark. All the magical elements in the space also started surging at this moment as they surged towards Lin Li. The initially shapeless magical elements actually condensed and encircled Lin Li like mist, making his figure appear somewhat illusory as if he was about to break free from the space.
With the infusion of a large amount of magical elements, Lin Li’s aura also surged rapidly. It soon reached a height that everyone needed to look up to. Immediately afterwards, an incomparably huge wave of mana surged out of his body like the roaring waves of a storm. The space that he was in seemed to have become subtly warped.
Connoris, who had been staying close to Lin Li, could not help but be pushed backwards by an unstoppable force under the mana waves. However, he did not feel humiliated or embarrassed because of that. Instead, his eyes were gleaming with excitement, and he was mumbling something to himself.
As for the others, they were all being overwhelmed by the terrifying mana waves coming from Lin Li which made them feel like they were in an incomparably vast ocean. They felt like boats that were vulnerable and susceptible to capsizing because of the waves at any time. At the same time, the pressure that was accompanied by the mana waves made them feel small and insignificant like they were facing the power of heaven and earth. Fear also rose from the depths of their souls.
It was the Sanctuary-realm, it really was the Sanctuary-realm! Joseph no longer felt lucky, and he turned pale all of a sudden. Fear and despair arose in his heart, and he was overwhelmed with overwhelming hysteria. He thought, It’s over, it’s really over this time. How did that guy step into the Sanctuary-realm all of a sudden!? He’s only in his twenties, but even the Geresco the God of Mages stepped into the Sanctuary-realm only in his thirties. Is he more talented than Geresco!?
However, Claus from the Caesar Family was secretly feeling lucky. Although he had been compelled by Joseph to do some sordid deeds in the past, he hadn’t gone too far, after all. Besides, more importantly, the Tower of Dusk did not turn him down when he swallowed his pride to request for help from the Tower of Dusk previously. They even gave him a batch of Life Potions for free. Besides, the young President Lin Li did not hold the previous matters against him. There was room for improvement in their relationship. Of course, the prerequisite was that his side had to be in the right position.
At the thought of that, Claus even felt that being under the pressure of the Sanctuary-realm that made him feel like his blood was going to stop flowing seemed to be less terrible.
Is this the Sanctuary-realm? Lin Li stretched his arms and tried to experience the different feeling that the world brought him after he entered the Sanctuary-realm. While he was detecting with his mental strength, he felt that the entire world seemed to become incomparably clear, and all the Laws that constituted the world were presented to him, making him feel like he could integrate into the Laws of the world without any hindrance and read, touch, and even grasp the power of the Laws.
This was the reason everyone else below the Sanctuary-realm was considered insignificant. Even the Legendary powerhouses who had reached the peak could only rely on their own understanding of the Laws to borrow the power of that portion of Laws. However, the Sanctuary powerhouses had already become one with the World Laws, and their will was like that of the heavens and earth. The power of the World Laws was an extension of his own power.
Now, if Lin Li fought against the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera again, he would be entirely confident of beating it with the power of Holy Light. Of course, it was if he were fighting against the level-26 or level-27 Iceblast Wyrm Sindera that had become an Undead creature. The dragon soul that contained all of Sindera’s spirit and will was still an existence that Lin Li had to look up to.
Lin Li had a deeper understanding of the power of the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, especially after he had stepped into it and gained a clearer understanding of the power of the World Laws. Breaking free from the restraint of the World Laws was far more difficult than he had previously imagined, and those who could do so could indeed be considered halfway to becoming gods.
Lin Li hadn’t been immersed in his physical comprehension of the Sanctuary-realm. After all, he was still facing a dragon soul at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm that seemed to have said something. However, judging from the fact that the other party didn’t release its Sanctuary-realm power, Lin Li reckoned that it probably didn’t have any ill intentions. He thought about what it had said earlier on…
After carefully recalling what Sindera said, Lin Li was stunned again. Despite having been robbed of its body and having its soul imprisoned for thousands of years, Sindera actually gave him and the others some time to leave. It seemed that while Sindera might have been imprisoned for thousands of years, it still wasn’t as unreasonable as the Flame Dragon Lothar. He reckoned that there might be some room for discussion.
If the people around Lin Li at the moment knew that he had those thoughts, they would probably go berserk. Although Lin Li had successfully stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, he was new to it, while Sindera was already at the peak. It was clear which one was the weaker party. Instead of fleeing, he actually wanted to negotiate?
In fact, if it had been before, Lin Li wouldn’t have had any objections to Sindera destroying the place. However, he had now discovered the mausoleum, and he could tell from the High Elven Print in the mausoleum that it was likely to be the place that the Immortal King slumbered. To Lin Li who was eagerly searching for the Stars of Fury, he naturally wouldn’t allow Sindera to destroy it.
Of course, even though Lin Li had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm and had a greater control over the debris of the stars, his power was still very insignificant when compared to Sindera that was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. However, since Sindera didn’t seem as unreasonable as the Flame Dragon Lothar, Lin Li still hoped that he could fight for a chance.
“I know that you’re infuriated and you can’t wait to destroy this place, but I hope that you can give me a little more time. We’ll leave right after exploring this tomb.” Lin Li did not voice those words, and similarly transmitted them directly to Sindera. Of course, he also wanted to get some experience of the Sanctuary-realm from Sindera’s dragon soul.
If Lin Li hadn’t suddenly stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, Sindera probably wouldn’t have cared about Lin Li’s opinion at all. After all, even if he was at the peak of the Legendary-realm, and was only a step away from the Sanctuary-realm, he would still be insignificant as long as he did not enter the Sanctuary-realm. However, Lin Li had now entered the Sanctuary-realm, and could be considered somewhat equal to Sindera—just like a child who didn’t have the power of an adult, but was still an equal after all.
Hence, at this moment, Sindera did not ignore Lin Li’s request. Besides, Sindera was actually very shocked as well. In the eyes of the ancient wyrm, even the High Elves were lowly creatures, let alone humans which were like dust. However, a human like Lin Li actually entered the Sanctuary-realm in front of him. Besides, it could tell from Lin Li’s soul fluctuation that the latter was only in his twenties. It was beyond imaginable.
Although ancient wyrms were said to have been born with Legendary-level strength, and would be entering the Sanctuary-realm after they were of age, there was a period of time between their birth and adulthood. The fastest growing wyrms would take centuries to grow up, but what kind of ancient wyrm would be able to step into the Sanctuary-realm 20 years after birth?
That was also the reason Sindera suppressed anger within it when it saw Lin Li breaking through the Sanctuary-realm. Besides, when it heard Lin Li’s request, Sindera did not turn him down immediately without hesitation. Instead, it tried to dissuade him by saying, “You guys merely want to stay behind and find some treasures of that bastard Brahere. However, I think it’s best if you give up on this idea. This mausoleum was built by Brahere himself for his own burial. He was also going to bury a relic left behind by his mother. That relic was said to have been given to his mother by the Immortal King.”
