Another World's Versatile Crafting Master Chapter 1168 - Twin Snakes of Light and Darkness

Chapter 1168: Twin Snakes of Light and Darkness

This black light that Lin Li shot out was none other than Gloomy Dark, one of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. Through the battle with the Radiant-winged Giant Python just now, he already knew that its power was completely a type of Power of Light. Although it was different from Holy Light, the power of Gloomy Dark would definitely be in conflict with the other type of power.

Although the Power of Light and the Dark Force were not necessarily restrained by each other, Lin Li believed that the power of the Radiant-winged Giant Python could not be compared to the power contained in the debris of the stars, Gloomy Dark, regardless of how strong it was. In such a situation, the Dark Force in Gloomy Dark was naturally suppressing the Power of Light in the Radiant-winged Giant Python.

The silver crossbow that Lin Li was using was the Crossbow of Reincarnation that he had created based on the design of the Stars of Fury. Although the Crossbow of Reincarnation might only have one percent of the power of the Stars of Fury with Lin Li’s current ability, Lin Li had also obtained the Stars of Fury that the Immortal King had left behind, which was formed with mana. Some of its characteristics were incorporated into the Crossbow of Reincarnation too.

Hence, even though the Crossbow of Reincarnation was still far inferior to the real Stars of Fury, it could still exhibit the power of the debris of the stars to a great extent. Under the catalysis of the Crossbow of Reincarnation, the power of the debris of the stars, Gloomy Dark, was dozens or hundreds of times higher than the power that Lin Li had exerted. Even G.o.ds and deities wouldn’t dare to underestimate the power of that arrow. Besides, the power of Gloomy Dark was still restraining the Power of Light of the Radiant-winged Giant Python.

As soon as the ray of black light darted out, it landed smack in the middle of the largest pair of wings on the back of the Radiant-winged Giant Python in an instant. Immediately afterwards, there was a groundbreaking sound of an explosion, and the Radiant-winged Giant Python was flung far away together with Edmund’s Chaos Statue.

After sensing the unparalleled power, Edmund couldn’t help but be thankful that that arrow hadn’t shot at him. Otherwise, even with the Chaos Statue, he might not be able to save himself.

At the same time that the Radiant-winged Giant Python was blown away by the terrifying force, the spot on its back that had been struck by Gloomy Dark seemed to shatter like gla.s.s. White crystals splattered everywhere, and a large wound appeared in its body. Besides, a large white crystal, which acted as the source of power of the body, could be seen in the wound.

The single blow launched by Lin Li actually caused such a severe injury to the Radiant-winged Giant Python, which immediately lifted the spirits of the crowd as they pulled themselves together. Since the start of their encounter with the Radiant-winged Giant Python, the crowd could be considered to have exhausted all their means, but they did not manage to cause any harm to the Radiant-winged Giant Python at all. Even Edmund’s Chaos Statue, which seemed to be fighting hard against the Radiant-winged Giant Python, was in a pa.s.sive position as it could not deal it any damage, either.

However, the outcome of Gloomy Dark’s strike did not satisfy Lin Li. He expected the Crossbow of Reincarnation, the terrifying power contained in Gloomy Dark, and the restraining effects that the Dark Force had on the Power of Light to at least be able to severely injure the Radiant-winged Giant Python.

Although the Radiant-winged Giant Python seemed to have been severely wounded on the surface since there was such a large hole in its back, Lin Li clearly saw that the magical crystal inside the Radiant-winged Giant Python was still intact despite having suffered the attack of Gloomy Dark.

The Radiant-winged Giant Python, too, was not an ordinary magical beast, but rather was one that was condensed with the Power of Light. With such characteristics, the terrifying wound on its back was considered nothing. Perhaps it would close up in the blink of an eye. In order to really cause fatal damage to the Radiant-winged Giant Python, one would have to start by attacking the magical crystal in its body. Only by destroying the magical crystal of the Radiant-winged Giant Python could one really kill it.

Indeed, just as that thought flashed in Lin Li’s mind, the frightening wound on the back of the Radiant-winged Giant Python had already begun to heal quickly under the ma.s.sive amount of Power of Light. Seeing this scene, Lin Li did not bother to continue thinking. Since the debris of the stars, Gloomy Dark, could not exert a restraining effect, what would happen if it was replaced by the debris of the stars, Holy Light?

Lin Li’s figure darted abruptly, dodging a poisonous ray of light that was ejected by the Radiant-winged Giant Python, and his figure once again appeared in the direction of the back of the Radiant-winged Giant Python. At the same time, the debris of the stars, Holy Light, turned into an arrow that was placed on the Crossbow of Reincarnation. With a crisp sound of the string being pulled, the debris of the stars, Holy Light, turned into a ray of white light that shot towards the recovering wound on the back of the Radiant-winged Giant Python.

That was not a random experiment. In fact, Lin Li had already known since a long time ago that Gloomy Dark had a great restraint on Dark Force, and that was the reason that he used Gloomy Dark on the Twin Dracoliches to ultimately defeat them before binding their souls to Gloomy Dark.

Hence, Lin Li decided to use Holy Light instead of other debris of the stars now that Gloomy Dark was not working.

After seeing Lin Li shoot a black light, followed by another white light that also emitted a terrifying aura, Edmund and the others were simply stunned. They had no idea what exactly it was, but they knew that it contained an extremely terrifying power, and everyone at this moment could not help but imagine that they were the opponents who were facing the blow as they wondered if they could resist it.

In fact, Edmund and the others didn’t even have to make a.s.sumptions, because there was a living example in front of them. They had had personal experience with the Radiant-winged Giant Python’s defensive abilities. Since the Radiant-winged Giant Python had been severely injured by the black light, they’d definitely have it worse because their defense was certainly lower than that of the Radiant-winged Giant Python!

Just as the crowd was feeling astonished by Lin Li’s power, the Holy Light that Lin Li had launched already blasted hard into the body of the Radiant-winged Giant Python and right into the ma.s.sive magical crystal that was vaguely exposed.

Immediately afterwards, there was a vigorous change, and the debris of the stars, Holy Light, was almost unstoppable as it charged right into the magical crystal. At the same time, a dazzling ray of light emanated from it. The Radiant-winged Giant Python also froze in mid-air, like an Alchemy Colossus that had lost its controller. Besides, the ma.s.sive body was also shaking vigorously.

However, the Radiant-winged Giant Python was obviously not willing to just wait for death. Although it could not move for a while, the hundreds of pairs of radiant wings on its back suddenly burst open with a loud explosive sound. They then turned into countless light blades that shot over in all directions.

The first to be attacked by the light blade were Edmund and the Chaos Statue that he had summoned. Although he had been blown away by Lin Li’s Gloomy Dark along with the Radiant-winged Giant Python, he had not flown far from the Radiant-winged Giant Python. As a result, when the Radiant-winged Giant Python suddenly pulled such a trick, and filled almost the entire s.p.a.ce, it left Edmund’s Chaos Statue with no means to dodge.

In just a moment, Edmund’s Chaos Statue was bombarded by thousands of light blades. Besides, the power of the light blades was much greater than that of any attack launched by the Radiant-winged Giant Python. After all, it was the power from the radiant wings’ self-destruction.

Edmund’s Chaos Statue could not resist the bombardment of the thousands of light blades, and was slashed into bits in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, Edmund condensed the remaining power of the Chaos Statue into a giant s.h.i.+eld that protected him against the attack, and allowed him to escape. Otherwise, he might really have died there.

After the self-destruction, the Radiant-winged Giant Python, which had been originally emitting bright light, quickly lost its l.u.s.ter like a withering flower. Immediately afterwards, the body of the Radiant-winged Giant Python began to crack like dry earth, while crystalline structures and dust continuously fell out of it.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the huge body of the Radiant-winged Giant Python quickly shattered with the loud sound of an explosion. Light crystals of various sizes turned into pure light right after leaving the body of the Radiant-winged Giant Python, and then vanished without a trace. A large magical crystal was left behind in the sky, and there was also an arrow that was emitting a dazzling light stuck in the top of the magical crystal.

However, that was not the end. The ma.s.sive magical crystal that was eye-catching and as bright as a sun in the sky was gradually getting dimmer and dimmer, as if the sun had gone from noon to evening. On the other hand, the arrow on top was getting brighter and brighter. It was obviously devouring the power of the magical crystal, and only when the magical crystal shattered with a loud thud and splattered everywhere did the arrow fly towards Lin Li’s hand immediately.

Lin Li took back the arrow that the debris of the stars, Holy Light, had transformed into, and immediately used his mental strength to sense the changes within, only to realize that there was an extremely large amount of mana stored inside. The mana seemed to be incompatible with the power of Holy Light as it was restrained somewhere by itself.

Frankly, there was probably no Power of Light in this world that could be purer than the one contained in the debris of the stars, Holy Light. Hence, it was not strange for Holy Light not to want to devour that power. However, although the power was not of much use to Holy Light, Lin Li still thought of a way to utilize it.

If the ma.s.sive amount of power was detonated all at once, the power would probably be so terrifying that even a powerhouse that was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm might not be able to withstand it. After all, the power was almost already more than half of the power of the Radiant-winged Giant Python. Who could resist it?

The only thing that Lin Li regretted was that once the power was detonated, it would truly be gone. Hence, the power could be his one and only trump card that could only be used once.

However, Lin Li was not a person who did not know how to be content. The fact that he could kill the Radiant-winged Giant Python was already something to be thankful about. Besides, the fact that he could obtain a trump card was already an unexpected surprise. What else was there not to be content about?

After the Radiant-winged Giant Python went up in smoke, Lin Li landed back on the ground, and the Tower of Dusk’s team immediately rushed over from afar. In particular, after Connoris saw Lin Li, he seemed to want to say something, but when he saw Lin Li talking to Edmund and the others, he suppressed the urge, and waited patiently at the side.

Lin Li and Edmund did not have much to talk about, and they were undoubtedly just being kind to each other while talking about the importance of each party in the battle. Although Edmund was genuinely curious about the magical weapons that Lin Li had used in the end, their relations.h.i.+p was not that close yet, so he didn’t have the cheek to ask.

In fact, Elder Zumar had seen Lin Li use the debris of the stars during that battle on Cage Island back then. However, at that time, Lin Li did not use the Crossbow of Reincarnation to launch Gloomy Dark and Holy Light. Hence, Elder Zumar naturally didn’t realize that he had seen those two items before.

After a casual and polite conversation with Edmund and the others, Lin Li immediately returned to the Tower of Dusk’s team. Upon sight of Lin Li, Connoris immediately came close to Lin Li, and softly said, “Felic, do you know where that monster just now came from!?”

Lin Li was thrilled to hear Connoris’s words. Although the former had expended a large amount of energy to finally kill the Radiant-winged Giant Python, its origin seemed like a thorn in his flesh. He was not simply curious, but felt that there was something fishy about this place. If he could figure out the origin of the Radiant-winged Giant Python, it might really give him a better understanding of the place.

“Why? Do you know where that monster came from?” Lin Li asked Connoris softly while they walked towards the team.

Instead of bragging about how knowledgeable he was, Connoris looked a little hesitant this time, and said, “I can’t be certain if my conjecture is right or not, but if I guessed correctly, this place is incredible.”

“Oh, tell me about it.” Lin Li stopped in his tracks. Even though Connoris was being very careful with his words this time, he already had a hunch that maybe Connoris’ guess would not be wrong. After all, everything here was indeed very peculiar, and it was probably not as simple as a sacred land of the Illuminati.

With a serious expression, which rarely appeared on his face, Connoris frowned a little, and asked, “Have you heard the legend of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness?”

“Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness?” Lin Li froze for a moment. He seemed to be unable to recall what they were at once.

Seeing Lin Li’s reaction, Connoris shook his head, and continued, “The Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness are not magical beasts, but divine beasts that were born with the world. There is even a saying that claims that the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness had already been bred for countless years in the chaos, and the moment the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness became mature was the moment the world was born.”

“Are you trying to say that that monster is one of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness?” Lin Li was clearly apprehensive. Although the Radiant-winged Giant Python was already extremely powerful, it would seem inferior in terms of power if it really had such a terrifying origin like Connoris had claimed.
