Chapter 1096: Natural Domain

However, even so, when the main mana cannons of The Star were shot, countless figures immediately flew out from the battleship that was targeted by the mana cannons. They had obviously already sensed that they would not be able to withstand the strike from The Star solely with the defensive functions of their battleship.

Indeed, when the incredibly powerful mana cannons blasted at the battleship of the High Elves, the defensive shield that looked extremely solid was instantly torn apart like a fragile eggshell. Next, the entire battleship was devoured by the light of the cannons. Even the High Elves who had escaped from the battleship but were slightly slower in getting away ended up turning into ashes by the mana cannons.

After the light of the mana cannons dissipated, there was a massive hole in the formation of the High Elves’ fleet as two battleships vanished without a trace. The arrogant High Elves had never incurred such losses before. At the same time, the remaining battleships spread out, and began bombarding The Star intensely.

While the ships were attacking The Star, several High Elves on the battleships began emitting powerful mana fluctuations and flying towards The Star rapidly. One of the High Elves who was the leader was obviously a Sanctuary powerhouse whose strength was not much worse than Lin Li’s. He was probably at level-26 or level-27. That High Elf’s followers were obviously also at the peak of the Legendary-level. After all, being in the Legendary-level was very normal for High Elves.

Although The Star had incredible attacking power, it was a tactical weapon, after all. It might be useful for dealing with Sanctuary-level marine magical beasts, but it would be useless against Sanctuary-level High Elves. In fact, although Lin Li had fought with the High Elves Osric and the souls of the High Elves, he hadn’t had a battle with real High Elves before. Hence, Lin Li’s body flashed, and he left the main pilothouse of The Star. Flashing in midair, he moved towards the High Elves that were rushing over.

When they saw a human coming out of The Star, there was clear contempt in the eyes of the High Elves. However, the few Sanctuary-level High Elves who were taking the lead looked clearly more attentive. Although the High Elves looked down on the other races, they had to admit that the elites of other races usually had high attainments.

That was probably considered growth in adverse situations. Those who stepped into the Sanctuary-realm after smooth sailing would definitely be worlds apart from those who encountered several trials and tribulations before reaching the Sanctuary-realm.

Hence, despite facing a human who was about as strong as him but was clearly outnumbered, the High Elf who was taking the lead did not show the slightest contempt. After seeing Lin Li’s figure appear, he immediately waved his staff, and water dragons that coalesced in the void blasted towards Lin Li.

At the same time, several other High Elves followed, and immediately surrounded Lin Li while raising their staffs, and launching vigorous attacks on him. Although the High Elves were still only at the peak of the Legendary-level, their bloodline advantage allowed them to be far stronger than Elvis and the others who were pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses.

After things got physical, Lin Li suddenly discovered a problem: he seemed to have been somewhat restrained during the battle, and was no longer as free as he used to be in the previous battles. He thought about it carefully, and realized that the reason was not complicated. They were in the sky above the Endless Ocean where water-series elements were the most abundant magical elements. The other magical elements existed there, but they were scarce.

The space was just like a natural Water Magical Domain where anyone or any magical beast would receive great help when casting water-series magic spells. However, if they tried to cast spells of other magical elements, they would be hindered by the laws of water. At this moment, Lin Li had a vague guess, and wondered if Geresco had created such a world for the sake of making him familiarize himself with the battle method suited to the Endless Ocean.

However, if it was just for that purpose, Lin Li would find that Geresco was making mountains out of molehills. Perhaps getting familiar with fighting in an environment where water elements were abundant would be difficult for Legendary-mages, but it wasn’t a big problem for a Sanctuary Master like Lin Li. There was no point in creating such a world.

However, Lin Li could only park those doubts at the bottom of his heart. Perhaps he would get an answer to those questions only when The Star reached its final destination. At this moment, Lin Li had to familiarize himself with the way of fighting at sea, and then deal with the High Elves who were hampering The Star in its course.

Lin Li put his doubts aside for the time being, and dazzling light emanated from the Helios’ Scepter in his hand. Sharp ice spikes immediately darted upwards from the surface of the sea. Each ice spike was emitting a biting chilliness, and even the water vapor in the air had been frozen into crystals and snowflakes that surrounded the ice spikes and glistened like stars.

Facing the ice spikes that were emerging from the bottom, even the Sanctuary-level High Elf dared not be negligent at all as he hurriedly opened the Domain World. The High Elf’s Domain World was somewhat similar to that of Elder Zumar of the Illuminati. It was also an oceanic world, but it was not as simple as that. In his Domain World, an oceanic island was in the middle, and there was a gigantic tree that looked somewhat similar to the Tree of Eternity in the center of the island, making the island seem pleasant and serene.

When the countless ice spikes cast by Lin Li were about to reach the High Elf, the giant tree in the High Elf’s Domain World immediately extended its countless branches and leaves, forming a huge emerald-green shield for the High Elf. All of a sudden, a huge roar sounded in the sky, and countless ice spikes blasted at the green shield so copiously that a thick layer of ice was soon formed on the shield.

Although it was only a simple collision of power, Lin Li already had a fair understanding of his opponent’s strength. The High Elves were indeed worthy of being the race that was favored by the heavens. Even at the same level, they were far more powerful than humans. The Sanctuary-level High Elf was probably lower than Elder Zumar in level, but his power was clearly not inferior to Elder Zumar’s.

In particular, there was also a power of the Tree of Eternity in the High Elf leader’s Domain World. It was probably one of the benefits of being baptized by the power of the Tree of Eternity. Due to the power of the Tree of Eternity, the Domain Worlds created by the High Elves would be stronger, more durable, and much harder to destroy compared to the Domain Worlds cast by humans of the same level.

Unfortunately, the human that this High Elf encountered this time was not an ordinary human. Lin Li had two living saplings of the Tree of Eternity in his hands, and he probably knew much more about the power of the Tree of Eternity than those High Elves did. No one could truly master the power of the Tree of Eternity, perhaps not even the gods. Although the High Elf used the power of the Tree of Eternity to strengthen his Domain World, the power did not really belong to him.

Sanctuary powerhouses had absolute control over the Domain World that they created, in which they were just like gods. It was because all the laws that constituted the Domain World were the power that the caster had comprehended and eventually mastered. However, if the Domain World was mixed with the power that he could not master, how could he be the real master of the Domain World?

The battle between the two Sanctuary powerhouses was definitely groundbreaking. There were rolling dark clouds and lightning in the sky and massive waves in the sea. Lin Li and the High Elf should be considered evenly matched, and the collision of their powerful forces resulted in turbulent aftershocks that filled the air with loud roars of agony and pain.

However, the Sanctuary-level High Elf soon discovered that he seemed to have been tricked by the cunning human. It seemed that Lin Li was fighting him with all his might, but why did his underlings unfortunately get pulled into the aftershocks?

The aftershocks of a battle between Sanctuary powerhouses were equally powerful and terrifying, and could not be resisted by those below the Sanctuary-realm. Although High Elves were much stronger than humans of the same level, there was still a great difference in the nature of power between them. Almost every one of them was embroiled in the aftershocks of the battle between the two Sanctuary powerhouses, but they were ripped into pieces before they could even yell.

It could be considered a coincidence if one or two High Elves were affected, but if three or four suffered the same fate, it probably had nothing to do with chance. Even if the High Elf leader was slow-witted, he would definitely know that there was something wrong with that situation. That also proved that although the human Lin Li seemed to be fighting with all his power, he actually still had reserved some of it.

At the thought of this, the first thing the High Elf leader felt was not the misery and grief of the death of his subordinates, but humiliation. How could the arrogant High Elf tolerate such behavior from Lin Li? It was just like suffering a slap in the face. The High Elf leader’s mana fluctuation immediately soared to a new height due to his anger, and he launched an overwhelming attack on Lin Li without bothering about the lives of his own subordinates.

The Domain World of the High Elf leader also underwent a huge change at this moment. The area eclipsed by the Domain World expanded extremely quickly, while the giant tree in the center of the Domain World also grew rapidly as the branches and leaves twisted and spread rapidly to the space outside like countless poisonous pythons.

The sudden outburst of power from the High Elf caused Lin Li’s attacks to stagnate for a while, but Lin Li didn’t show a single trace of anxiety. Instead, he seemed to be smirking derisively. In the face of the High Elf leader’s crazy attack, Lin Li seemed to have coped with a few rounds with great difficulty before falling into the Domain World.

Entering the Domain World of a Sanctuary powerhouse was actually a very dangerous thing to do. Even if both parties were evenly matched in strength, entering someone else’s Domain World was akin to giving everything that they had to the other party. In every Domain World, the creator would be the god of this world, and could even easily deprive his opponent of all his power.

When he saw Lin Li falling into his Domain World, the High Elf leader smiled menacingly before pointing his staff forward, and changing a long incantation in the High Elf language quickly. Under the High Elf leader’s manipulation, his Domain World was filled with the branches and leaves of the giant tree almost instantly, as if it was a cage made of plants. Lin Li was then trapped in the Domain World.

However, just when the High Elf leader thought he had taken Lin Li down, a series of violent explosions suddenly occurred in the Domain World. The tree branches that filled the entire Domain World seemed like a green tide that retreated towards the giant tree in the center.

That change immediately made the High Elf leader a little confused as he had never encountered such a situation before. Hence, he immediately accelerated the chanting of the incantation, and the gem at the top of the staff in his hand emitted a dazzling ray of light, as if it was a small sun that others dared not look at.

At this juncture, Lin Li, who’d landed in the High Elves’ Domain World, seemed to be far more relaxed than the High Elf leader. The former held the Helios’ Scepter casually in one hand and a ball of green light in another, and the green mist vanished soon after it floated outwards as it fused with the Domain World.

What the High Elf commander received was only the aura of the Tree of Eternity that was blended with the power of the Tree of Eternity that he had been shrouded in for a long time. However, through the study of the sapling of the Tree of Eternity, Lin Li managed to master the power of the Tree of Eternity, which was just like a supreme ruler whose might and authority was not to be contended with compared to the alloyed aura.

Through the comprehension of the power of the Tree of Eternity’s origin, Lin Li gradually gained control of the Domain World. Although he was in the Domain World that the High Elf controlled, Lin Li finally raised the Helios’ Scepter in his hand, and pointed it at the giant tree at the center of the Domain World. The tree immediately changed its target, and surged towards the original owner.
