Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master

Gloomy Dark, Holy Light, Thunderbolt, and several other pieces of the debris of the stars darted out one after another in a defensive state, ready to take on the attack of the Ancient God of Strength. With the destruction of each layer of defense, Lin Li would involuntarily spew a mouthful of blood. His mental strength was continuously shaken, and it left him with a splitting headache. However, even so, he didn’t stop moving his hands, and was still continuously drawing magic symbols and pattern after pattern.

Although the mageweath had yet to be completed, the dense and rich mana fluctuations had already spread out in all directions like water ripples. Even the ripples that were spreading in space could clearly be seen distorting under the suppression. With the fluctuations, a terrifying power that seemed to be able to combine heaven and earth began to gradually accumulate on the mageweath.

Now that the Ancient God of Strength finally had a chance to break free after having been suppressed for thousands of years, he naturally wouldn’t let it go. After sensing the threat of the mageweath, the Ancient God of Strength immediately lost his sanity and charged towards Lin Li, bombarding him with attacks at full force in a bid to interrupt the drawing of the mageweath.

All of a sudden, Lin Li was surrounded by the shadows of the Ancient God of Strength, and the attacks from the Ancient God of Strength were like a tidal wave, almost completely submerging Lin Li’s figure. A terrifying power that seemed to be able to destroy the earth emerged from each punch that the Ancient God of Strength threw. Several cracks appeared in the space, almost depriving Lin Li of the space that he was currently in.

In the face of the berserk Ancient God of Strength, Lin Li had no choice but to turn the seven pieces of the debris of the stars into seven rings of light of different colors that revolved around him, resisting the storm-like attacks. Although the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars was massive, Lin Li couldn’t fully exert it. Whenever the debris of the stars suffered a heavy blow, a large hole would seem to form in his soul.

Although the Ancient God of Strength was not any more powerful than the previous two ancient gods, the pressure it put on Lin Li was far greater. Fortunately, the seven pieces of the debris of the stars were strong enough. Otherwise, they would have been blown to pieces by the Ancient God of Strength.

As Lin Li drew the last magic symbol, the magical elements in the space converged into a thunderstorm that surged into the mageweath, causing it to shine brightly immediately while exuding a dense force. The entire space seemed to have solidified immediately, and the Ancient God of Strength froze in midair, his outstretched fist still trembling slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the mageweaths that were shining brilliantly flew out from in front of Lin Li, and covered the Ancient God of Strength. The mageweaths seemed to have turned into mana chains that intertwined around the Ancient God of Strength’s body. The numerous star-like magical runes penetrated the body of the Ancient God of Strength, and sealed his power completely.

Faced with the suppression of the magic runes, the body of the Ancient God of Strength shuddered, and the power within his body emerged continuously, causing the light of the mageweaths to flicker incessantly. However, the Ancient God of Strength’s resistance seemed rather futile under the suppression of the mageweath, and the power that emerged was getting weaker and weaker.

While watching the Ancient God of Strength struggle, Lin Li panted heavily, and tried to bear with the excruciating pain in his head that made him feel as if his head was about to shatter. At the same time, the seven pieces of the debris of the stars hovered around his body like satellites.

Suppress it! Lin Li thought to himself, and he made a magic gesture with his hands in front of his chest, after which the mageweath immediately emitted an even more dazzling ray of light. In an instant, even the Ancient God of Strength’s aura seemed to have vanished from this space, while the massive body of the Ancient God of Strength shriveled up like a deflated ball under the engulfment of the mana.

However, in a few moments, the Ancient God of Strength, who had just attacked Lin Li so intensely to the point that Lin Li was breathless, turned into a mass of light that contained the Origin of strength. Lin Li grasped the mass of light, and immediately channeled his mental strength into it in order to understand and grasp the mysteries of the Origin of strength.

If a Sword Sage could obtain the Origin of strength, ascending to godhood probably wouldn’t be difficult. Although Lin Li was not a warrior, he would still benefit greatly from this Origin of strength. He might not have the combat power of a Sword Sage, but at the very least he would be able to deal with opponents who mastered such nomological power with greater ease.

Besides, this understanding and mastery of the Origin of strength also gave Lin Li’s Mount Tai mageweath more room for improvement, allowing him to gain more insights in the field of inscription.

Of course, when Lin Li similarly placed the same Origin of strength into the Ring of Endless Storm, the space began to change immediately afterwards too. The sky and the earth seemed to have been kneaded together like dough, causing the two to be indistinguishable. In such a chaotic space, the various magical elements began to become extremely chaotic too as the earth, fire, wind, and water elements intertwined and transformed, so much so that it was impossible to grasp the power within. In a space as such, it was simply impossible for mages to mobilize the surrounding magical elements, and it was very likely that the mobilized fire elements would turn into water elements in the next moment and so on. As a result, the mages would face continuous backlash because of the failure of casting.

Immediately afterwards, an ancient god with four faces and eight arms appeared in that distorted space. It was the Ancient God of Chaos that Saint Edmund of the Illuminati had continuously summoned in the form of statues on several occasions previously. He had an inherent control of the Origin of chaos, and possessed the bizarre ability to defy all laws.

Without a single moment of delay, Lin Li pointed the Helios’ Scepter forward, and a gigantic Light and Darkness Sword immediately slashed through space towards the Ancient God of Chaos. Immediately afterwards, he held the Crossbow of Reincarnation, and placed the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, on it as if it were an arrow. As the crossbow mechanism was triggered, it turned into a bolt of lightning that darted towards the Ancient God of Chaos with a whistle.

Lin Li was well aware that it would be difficult for the power of the Light and Darkness Sword to pose an effective threat to an enemy of such a high level like the ancient gods. Hence, after using the Light and Darkness Sword, he immediately attacked using the power of the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt. The Light and Darkness Sword was just a smokescreen for Thunderbolt.

As expected, a peculiar fluctuation suddenly radiated from the Ancient God of Chaos’s body as soon as the Light and Darkness Sword approached it, throwing the space into jeopardy as chaos broke out. When the fluctuation came into contact with the Light and Darkness Sword, the initially solid Light and Darkness Sword began flickering. Lin Li could clearly sense that the structure of the laws in the Light and Darkness Sword had begun to lose its stability because of the bizarre fluctuations. The powers of light and darkness, which were initially balanced, began to clash uncontrollably too.

With a loud explosive sound, the Light and Darkness Sword lost control as the conflicting forces of Light and Darkness finally resulted in an explosion. However, the power of the explosion was far from being enough to hurt the Ancient God of Chaos.

In the light of the explosion of the Light and Darkness Sword, the Thunderbolt that turned into a sharp sword immediately pierced outwards, and struck the Ancient God of Chaos in his chest, catching the latter off guard. However, seeing that Thunderbolt was about to strike the Ancient God of Chaos, a strange feeling suddenly rose in Lin Li’s heart. Subsequently, he saw that Thunderbolt was whistling towards him.

Fortunately, Lin Li reacted quickly enough to launch his ability to move like the flash as he quickly dodged to the side by more than 10 meters. Watching his afterimage getting pierced by Thunderbolt, he couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. If he hadn’t dodged in time, he would have probably died at his own hands.

Clearly, the laws that the Ancient God of Chaos had jeopardized were not just the four elemental laws, but also the laws of space and time, which had all become chaotic under his influence. In fact, even Lin Li was uncertain if Thunderbolt was really targeting him, and merely took a gamble to dodge to the side in a flash.

Only when the power of Thunderbolt weakened slightly did Lin Li finally recall Thunderbolt. He then turned his head to look at the Ancient God of Chaos, only to see that all eight of his arms were flailing about incessantly while various powerful magic spells were launched at Lin Li.

The magic spells cast by the Ancient God of Chaos seemed to be ordinary elemental magic spells, such as Meteor Shower, Fire Storm, Destruction Thunderbolt, and so on. However, Lin Li could sense that the laws in those magic spells were extremely bizarre and chaotic. Each of those magic spells contained numerous types of nomological power. Besides, the laws were continuously changing, making it difficult for him to respond effectively.

Seeing this situation, Lin Li hurriedly released two pieces of the debris of the stars, Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, which turned into two 1,000-meter-long pythons that intertwined and circled around his body. At the same time, the debris of the stars, Nothingness, turned into a spear that appeared in his hand. After injecting a massive amount of mana into it, Lin Li swung it towards the Ancient God of Chaos in the distance.

The magic storm of the Ancient God of Chaos blasted at the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness that Holy Light and Gloomy Dark had transformed into. In an instant, it resulted in violent tremors of the space. Besides, the spear-form Nothingness that Lin Li swung out also caused a large spatial rift to appear in the spot where the Ancient God of Chaos was, as if it were the maw of a gigantic beast that was about to devour the Ancient God of Chaos in one mouthful.

Without the Mount Tai mageweath, even the Domain World couldn’t recover from the previous self-detonation. However, with the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, Lin Li and the Ancient God of Chaos exchanged several blows. It wasn’t that the Ancient God of Chaos was less powerful than the first three ancient gods that had appeared earlier, but rather the growth that Lin Li had achieved through fighting the first three ancient gods had already reached a shocking extent.

The growth was not limited to the field of inscription, but rather entailed the thorough understanding of the origin of laws, and the experience he had gained from fighting with the ancient gods allowed Lin Li to greatly improve his abilities in magic combat.

The ancient gods were once above the other gods. Even if their power had been greatly weakened, ancient gods with complete willpowers still made for terrifying opponents. There was probably nothing in Anril that could be better for honing one’s skills than fighting with the ancient gods.

If Lin Li’s strength didn’t improve with such a good opportunity in hand, it would really be a great disappointment to the Immortal King and Geresco.

With the intention to train himself, Lin Li did not use the Mount Tai mageweath even in the face of an extremely dangerous situation. The seven pieces of the debris of the stars were his strongest backup that he could fall back on. With the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, Lin Li’s battle with the Ancient God of Chaos lasted for two hours, which was quite an impressive achievement.

Although Lin Li was disheveled, which was a stark contrast to the Ancient God of Chaos who did not seem to have suffered any damage at all, Lin Li was only a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse who had yet to reach the level of a demigod. Being able to hold out for such a long time against the Ancient God of Chaos with his current strength was absolutely unbelievable to everyone.

However, in reality, Lin Li still wasn’t satisfied with the situation. In his opinion, his greatest goal was to defeat this Ancient God of Chaos by relying on his own power without even using the debris of the stars.

Of course, Lin Li was very clear of the reality he was subjected to. After all, the Ancient God of Chaos was a true ancient god. Even though his power had been weakened, the divinity he possessed didn’t decrease because of it. With Lin Li’s current abilities, it wouldn’t be realistic to try to defeat the Ancient God of Chaos without using the power of the debris of the stars.

Sensing that he could no longer comprehend anything else from the Ancient God of Chaos, and that he was reaching the limit of what he could withstand, Lin Li finally decided to end the battle. However, he still didn’t bother to draw the Mount Tai mageweath. Instead, he started fine-tuning his mana to manifest the Mount Tai mageweath in the form of a magic spell. With a point of the Helios’s Scepter, a magical wave that was similar to the Mount Tai mageweath began blasting towards the Ancient God of Chaos.

The Ancient God of Chaos was naturally unwilling to be suppressed again. Thus, he immediately activated his ability, and began to distort all the laws in his space. With the distortion, the space became somewhat illusory, and his figure turned vague as if the clouds were about to dissipate.

However, after such a long time of fighting, Lin Li had already gained a considerable understanding of the Ancient God of Chaos’ tricks. Although he didn’t dare to say that he definitely had a means to suppress the Ancient God of Chaos, he wouldn’t be fooled easily. The magic spell that contained the aura of the Mount Tai mageweath immediately blasted into the distorted space. First, a powerful force emerged, and the warped laws were instantly corrected.

Although the power of the Ancient God of Chaos subverted all the laws, the power of chaos was still a type of law. Since the laws were traceable, Lin Li just had to find the laws within. Besides, Lin Li might not have seen through the laws of chaos of the Ancient God of Chaos, but he had also mastered a certain law through the battle. Hence, he naturally had a means to restrain it for the time being.

With the blasting and invasion of the magic spell, the illusory-looking space immediately solidified, and everything seemed to have been restored to its original appearance. Although the power of the magic spell had only provided a moment of correction, the laws soon emerged under the power of suppression.. They converged and condensed into chains that began intertwining around the Ancient God of Chaos, after which countless magic runes penetrated the body of the Ancient God of Chaos.
