Chapter 1045: Viper’s Poison

When Lin Li saw the huge snake head, he immediately knew that he definitely wasn’t facing a descendant of the prehistoric Viper, but the latter itself. Besides, he could clearly sense that the mana coming from the prehistoric Viper was definitely around the Sanctuary-realm, and it was almost similar to the last opponent of the Barbarous Arena.

However, although Lin Li had defeated an opponent that was as strong as the prehistoric Viper in the Barbarous Arena, it was because he had gained a deeper understanding of his opponent’s abilities after countless battles. It was Lin Li’s first time encountering the prehistoric Viper, and everything he knew about it was from legends. God knew how many discrepancies there were.

More importantly, Lin Li did not have to worry about losing in the Barbarous Arena, as he would only be sent out of the Barbarous Arena even if he faced a lethal attack of an opponent. However, Lin Li did not think that he would have that many chances to study his opponent and experiment with it to test his conjectures here.

The prehistoric Viper did not even give Lin Li a chance to think, and it immediately launched a fierce attack on Lin Li after popping its massive head out of the forest. It immediately started attacking Lin Li, and colorful fumes of smoke began to emanate from the prehistoric Viper’s body. In the blink of an eye, it immediately enveloped the forest and the sky. Although it looked dazzling and enchanting, those who were in it would be able to feel its deadly negative aura as well as its toxicity, menace, filth, and evilness.

When the colorful cloud of smoke rose, Lin Li did not dare to slacken at all. He immediately raised the Helios’ Scepter and cast his World Domain. To a Sanctuary Master, his World Domain was the strongest offensive and also defensive method.

When Lin Li first cast the World Domain, he created a barren world that was devoid of vitality, and was essentially just like the accumulation of Laws. However, after the guidance of Geresco’s incarnation and the countless training and battles he had undergone in the Barbarous Arena, Lin Li’s World Domain had already become a world that constantly evolved, showcasing the entire life cycle of living beings from birth to their pinnacle, followed by death and decay. The power of such a World Domain was extremely horrifying. If Lin Li were to fight with Osric again, they might actually end up in a stalemate.

However, the venom of the prehistoric Viper was so terrifying that even gods dared not come into contact with it easily. The curse and erosive Laws were a type of power that would extinguish all existences. Pope Rosario of the Brilliance Shrine was also a powerhouse at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, yet he was tortured for decades after being poisoned by a descendant of the Viper.

Hence, as soon as Lin Li’s World Domain came into contact with the colorful smoke, it was immediately corroded without resistance. The Laws of the entire domain began to lax under the erosion of the poison, and when reflected in the world of the domain, it was like a huge disaster. There was a huge hole in the sky, and the ground was covered in poisonous swamps. In the blink of an eye, the entire world was full of destruction, and it seemed like it would be completely destroyed at any time.

Besides, Lin Li could also sense that the poison was not only corroding his Domain World, but also corroding him because he was connected to the domain. No wonder Rosario fell victim to the Viper’s poison despite being so powerful.

When Lin Li cast his Domain World, he initially did not expect to rely on it to block out the Viper’s poison. However, through the contact of the Laws, he managed to understand the nature of the Viper’s poison. However, the Viper’s poison was indeed a bit beyond Lin Li’s expectations, especially because it could spread along connections, making it truly impossible to guard against.

Seeing that his Domain World was about to collapse, Lin Li did not dare to delay any longer. After all, if his World Domain truly collapsed, it would have a huge impact on him, the host. He immediately waved his arm to toss out the debris of the stars, Holy Light. The pure power of Holy Light immediately formed a Light of Purification force field that fought against the evil aura of the entire space.

Although the power of Lin Li’s debris of the stars could not be maximized without the Stars of Fury, there was no longer a flaw in the attributes of power. However, Lin Li found it taxing when fighting against the colorful smoke. At the same time that the sinister and poisonous aura was being purified, the Light of Purification force field was continuously getting corroded too. The space was slowly being eaten away one bit at a time.

This is definitely not going to work! Lin Li knew very well in his heart that there would definitely be a moment where even the strongest defense would get broken. Only by turning the situation around and getting himself out of a passive position would he be able to defeat the prehistoric Viper.

However, the prehistoric Viper was not a clueless greenhorn. In fact, at the Sanctuary-realm, all prehistoric magical beasts, be it a Viper or whatnot, would be on par with humans in terms of intelligence and emotional quotient. Since it had already gained the upper hand, the prehistoric Viper would not give the opportunity up easily, and thus it immediately intensified his attack on Lin Li.

The prehistoric Viper suddenly propelled its body, which was hundreds of meters long, upwards before darting out of the forest. Enveloped by the colorful smoke, it levitated in midair. Immediately afterwards, the horn on the top of the prehistoric Viper shone brightly, and all sorts of affinity spells that contained the laws of poison and curses surged towards Lin Li like a tide amidst the vibrant and brilliant light.

All sorts of magic spells that contained sinister aura like the Arrow of Curses that contained the condensed Power of Insidiousness, the Star of Corrosion that penetrated through the space using the Power of Corrosion, and the Poisonous Meteorite came surging. If there were any lives in this world, they would definitely be destroyed and annihilated by the poison. The aura that came out of it alone had caused a large area of the forest to wither. The gigantic trees that were thousands of years old were quickly corroded and collapsed.

On the other hand, Lin Li also fell into an extremely dangerous state. The purification force field that was supported by the Holy Light suddenly burst like a bubble, and even Holy Light itself was invaded by the poisonous gas. It was not that the power of Holy Light was inferior, but rather that it was impossible to release the power of Holy Light with mastery of the laws alone. Only the Stars of Fury could do it. Without the Stars of Fury, even a real god would not be able to fully exert the power of the debris of the stars, let alone Lin Li. If Lin Li had the Stars of Fury, the power would be enough to turn Holy Light into a sharp weapon to kill the prehistoric Viper.

Lin Li grabbed Holy Light, and the poison that invaded it caused Holy Light, which was initially extremely pure, to contain a wisp of peculiar color in the light. Of course, Holy Light could not be stained that easily. After it returned to Lin Li’s hand, it immediately purified its color.

However, after that, Lin Li dared not release Holy Light. Even though it would not really be stained by Viper’s poison, it would probably take a lot of effort to get rid of it completely if the toxins accumulated. Besides, he could tell that the Light of Purification of Holy Light would not produce any good effects after coming into contact with Viper’s poison and the Power of Curses. Lin Li would not want to incur such losses.

Hence, Lin Li put the debris of the stars Holy Light away, and waved his arm to cast the brilliance of Holy Light, blocking the poisonous magic spell that was in front of him, after which he activated the power of the Space Robe, and flashed in another direction to evade the magic storm cast by the prehistoric Viper.

However, as soon as Lin Li stabilized his body, he suddenly felt a strange movement in the surrounding space, and he suddenly had a bad feeling. He hurriedly dodged and dashed towards the side. He then realized that the spot he was in seemed to be burned by wax as it formed a huge hole in the space. Immediately afterwards, the prehistoric Viper dashed out of the hole.

Seeing this scene, Lin Li immediately understood in his heart that it was not the effects of the prehistoric Viper tracking him, but rather that there were holes left behind in the space at the instant that Lin Li activated the Space Robe. Hence, the magic spells cast by the prehistoric Viper caught up with him. It was just like digging a hole in the land. Even if one filled it up with soil, it still wouldn’t be the same as the areas surrounding it.

It was the same for space. The magic spells of the prehistoric Viper had a huge corrosive property, so the sturdier spaces would naturally be different from the more fragile ones. Hence, the magic spells actually flowed over instead of chasing after him.

Damn it, just because I’m not showing my dominance, they think I’m a pushover! Although the magic spells flowed over, Lin Li was still extremely infuriated. After destroying the magic spells that were surging over, Lin Li pointed the Helios’ Scepter at the prehistoric Viper, and a huge sword immediately slashed over.

The giant magic sword that Lin Li cast seemed to be extremely similar to the Light and Darkness Sword that he used in the past. Although it was also created with the fusion of light and darkness, in addition to the power of light and darkness, there was also a fusion of the other five basic World Laws. It was no longer considered the Light and Darkness Sword, and in fact, it was more reasonable to call it the World Sword which was as powerful as the power of the world. Even the World Domain of a Sanctuary powerhouse would be destroyed by it.

The World Sword slashed out from the void, and blasted at the colorful smoke with destructive power, slashing down on the head of the prehistoric Viper. When the entire space was filled with the roars of the giant sword slashing through everything, the colorful smoke that shrouded the prehistoric Viper also began stirring as if it would be blown away like smoke in the wind at any time.

Lin Li was very confident in the power of his sword. Previously, he had faced many opponents in the Sanctuary-realm in the Barbarous Arena, all of whom were defeated by the World Sword. Although the prehistoric Viper was difficult to deal with, its power was near the Sanctuary-realm, and what made it difficult to defeat was its poison and curses.

However, what Lin Li did not expect was that the prehistoric Viper suddenly retracted the colorful smoke around it when faced with the falling World Sword. Immediately afterwards, a colorful snake shadow actually rushed forward to collide with the World Sword. The colorful shadow, which was formed by the colorful smoke, was like a clone of the prehistoric Viper. After being in contact with the World Sword, it even wrapped its body, which was hundreds of meters long, around the sword.

In the blink of an eye, the colorful snake shadow was wrapped entirely around the World Sword, making it seem as if the World Sword had been fitted with a colorful scabbard. Although the scabbard was used for protecting the sword, a large amount of poison immediately seeped into the World Sword, and the Laws that constituted the World Sword began cracking under the corrosion of the poison. When the World Sword was about to fall onto the head of the prehistoric Viper, the shadow of the colorful snake immediately dispersed, and reverted into the most poisonous colorful smoke while the World Sword vanished without a trace.

Lin Li was dumbfounded to see this outcome. The World Sword was a sword that was condensed from a world, and its power was probably the best of all Sanctuary-realm magic spells. He had thought of the possibility that the World Sword might be disintegrated by the prehistoric Viper, but the speed at which it happened was too exaggerated.

The prehistoric Viper did not intend to give Lin Li the time to recover from shock. After disintegrating the incredibly powerful World Sword, it seemed to be enraged by Lin Li’s attack. The horn on its head shone brilliantly, and the colorful smoke that filled the entire space immediately got riled up too, once again attacking Lin Li menacingly.

However, faced with the attacks of the prehistoric Viper, Lin Li looked a little smug. Not panicking at all, he pointed the Helios’ Scepter forward, and the colorful smoke that had begun stirring because of the prehistoric Viper once again calmed down. If one were to look carefully, they would realize that there was a vague dimness in the colorful smoke. As Lin Li triggered it, the inconspicuous dimness immediately erupted and swallowed the colorful smoke in the surroundings.

This time, it was the prehistoric Viper’s turn to panic. Although it was roaring with fury, the dimness was still expanding rapidly like ink dripping into water, staining the colorful smoke in the surroundings. In the blink of an eye, the colorful smoke turned into dark clouds that were as black as ink. It was extremely gloomy and no longer as radiant as before.

It’s my turn this time! Lin Li sneered and reached out to grab something in the air, after which the gloomy clouds began rolling and surging towards the prehistoric Viper in the middle. Soon, the body that was hundreds of meters long was covered as if it was a giant pupa.

Above the giant pupa, an extremely deep black sphere of light appeared in the void with two smaller spheres orbiting around it like a satellite. The black sphere was the debris of the stars Gloomy Dark, while the two smaller ones around it were the souls of the Double Death Dragons that had been sealed by Gloomy Dark.
