How could they survive this? Lin Li was getting increasingly anxious. Although he also had a trump card, this wasn’t a suitable time to use it. Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua was Lin Li’s ultimate trump card. With its ability to instantaneously cast Legendary spells, rarely anyone below Sanctuary-level could match its abilities. However, if Lin Li was to release Xiao Hua now, it would be sending a scrumptious feast to the Whispering God. Unless Xiao Hua was full-grown and as powerful as the Dragon of Dream, it was no match to the Whispering God.

The seven pieces of the debris of the stars were powerful, but just like Xiao Hua, they would only serve as the Whispering God’s mana source. If he had the Stars of Fury, Lin Li believed that even the most ordinary arrow could kill off this Whispering God that was at the peak of Legendary-realm. Unfortunately, he didn’t have it now.

When he thought about the Whispering God’s abilities, Lin Li was rather puzzled. It seemed that the Whispering God was already at the peak of Legendary-level when it first came out. Now that it had devoured so much mana, why was its power still at the peak of Legendary-level?

Lin Li remembered clearly that the Whispering God he had witnessed back in the Endless World was totally worthy of its name. That Whispering God got more powerful as it devoured mana during the attack on the City of Stars. When the City of Stars was destroyed, the Whispering God was already in Sanctuary-level. If not for the fact that the strongest NPC in the Endless World—the half-divine Paladin Francis—came to the rescue, no one knew how much destruction the Whispering God would have brought to the Endless World.

On the other hand, this Whispering God was already at the peak of Legendary-level at first. After devouring so much mana from the Archmages and Legendary-mages of the four factions, it should have reached Sanctuary-level even if it was just level-20 in the beginning. However, this Whispering God didn’t even seem to be close to Sanctuary-level judging from its magic waves.

This was definitely abnormal!

That was probably the only good news that Lin Li had so far. However, this didn’t mean they could finish off this Whispering God easily. At Legendary-level, Lin Li still couldn’t think of any way to deal with it. At this rate, the entire exploration team would be wiped out.

Holding the Helios’ Scepter, Lin Li condensed the Light and Darkness Sword again, and he swung the sword towards the Whispering God. However, Lin Li was clear about the result of this blow—nothing different from the previous ones.

Although everyone knew that their attacks were futile, nobody stopped attacking. After all, constant attacks gave the team the slightest hope. If they stopped, it would be no different from waiting to die. Everyone could sense that the exploration team was gradually sliding into the abyss. As more and more Legendary-mages got out of the fight because they couldn’t withstand the drain of magic anymore, the ones who were still defending the team got busier. All they could do was to change their offensive spells continuously, change their magical attributes, and change the angle of attack.

It was the same for Lin Li. From releasing all kinds of magic at the start to giving his all in condensing the Light and Darkness Sword now, this was the strongest attack he could use based on his current abilities. Even a Legendary wyrm wouldn’t be able to withstand a blow from the Light and Darkness Sword, but the Whispering God was evidently much stronger than a wyrm.

The whispers that the Whispering God released were like a special Magical Domain. Any magic in this domain couldn’t avoid the dispersion of its mana. When the Light and Darkness Sword landed on the Whispering God, it was already very remarkable that one-tenth of its power was released. The Legendary magical spells cast by other mages weren’t even able to reach the Whispering God’s body before disappearing into thin air.

With Lin Li’s current power at the peak of Legendary-level, even a tenth of the Light and Darkness Sword’s power was much stronger than back when it tore Stephen’s, or rather, Mephistos’ Spirit Domain apart. However, such power was like punching a football when used against the Whispering God’s extremely resilient body. It couldn’t cause any real harm.

From the Tower of Dusk, only Lin Li and Basel were still battling the Whispering God now. From the Glittergold Trade Union, there was only Hoffman and Thomas, while from the Mithril Alliance and Caesar Family, there were only Joseph, Elvis, and Claus left in the battle. Other than Lin Li who still appeared to be full of mana, the others were all in a state of fatigue. Evidently, the constant loss of mana had a significant effect on them.

As for the Whispering God, its power didn’t seem any different than before. While dealing with Lin Li and his companions’ attacks, its countless tentacles also constantly caused casualties among the exploration team behind them. The whispers that filled the entire incubation room didn’t stop, controlling more and more people’s minds.

In order to stop those people who had been controlled by the Whispering God from leaving the protective circle, a spectacle to be beheld appeared in the four factions. Those Archmages who had high status in the outside world were now tied up firmly with ropes like cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. If they had the chance to wake up, heaven knew what they would think about this.

The team was in a dangerous situation now. Although the Whispering God only had one method to attack them head-on, no one dared to underestimate those green tentacles. Everyone struggled under the tentacles’ attacks, including Lin Li.

“Damn it! What is this thing? Why isn’t it dead by now?” Joseph was almost driven insane. This was totally the most disgusting battle he had ever been through in his whole life, be it in terms of the battle itself or the opponent’s appearance. If he had had a choice, he would’ve chosen to battle a true Sanctuary-realm opponent instead, even if he would still lose.

Joseph was unable to keep his composure, but nobody commented on his lack of manners at a time like this. After all, who didn’t have the urge to cough out blood given the current situation? Claus had already thrown his silver box away. Although his trump card—the form-mimicking magical bugs—weren’t destroyed like the Abyssal Demon Dragon, he knew that it was impossible for him to get them back now.

As for the Glittergold Trade Union, Thomas was also drenched in sweat. He had to deal with those countless tentacles while manipulating the War God’s Shadow. The pressure that he had to withstand was even greater than for the others. Thinking about it, it was rather ridiculous that the trump cards that the two factions had thrown out nullified each other. They were lucky that the War God’s Shadow was able to hold those magical bugs back. If not, the exploration team would meet with demise even sooner.

“Felic, we are going to be doomed at this rate! Are you helpless in this situation too?” Hoffman could only put all his hopes on Lin Li now. After all, Lin Li had ventured into the Sky Castle and explored Osric’s mausoleum before.

Out of everyone, only Lin Li seemed rather composed. His magical attacks also didn’t weaken as the battle continued. However, Lin Li knew that his mana wasn’t truly limitless, and he also couldn’t withstand the Whispering God’s frantic devouring of mana. If he couldn’t finish off the Whispering God soon, it was just a matter of time before his mana would be completely devoured.

Lin Li still didn’t know why the Whispering God hadn’t stepped into the Sanctuary-realm. It was like a bottomless bucket which wouldn’t be full no matter how much water was poured into it. After all, Lin Li knew that although the Whispering God was called a ‘god’, it didn’t have much intelligence—just like those low-level creatures. It depended entirely on its instinct to devour mana to strengthen itself.

However, where had the massive amount of mana gone to? As someone who had already seen the gates of the Sanctuary-realm, Lin Li certainly knew that the amount of mana that the Whispering God had devoured over this period of time was sufficient to elevate it to the Sanctuary-level. If the mana wasn’t used to strengthen it, then where did it go? After all, it was impossible that the mana would have leaked out from the Whispering God’s body. If not, the exploration team wouldn’t be struggling so much. Thus, there was certainly a place where the devoured mana was stored.

Thinking about that, Lin Li’s eyes focused on the pool the Whispering God was resting in. In the entire incubation room, this pool was the only place that the exploration team hadn’t touched. They had been unaware of it at first. Later on, they were stunned by the presence of the Whispering God. It was only now that Lin Li realized the Whispering God had never left the pool.

As the circumstances got more dire, Lin Li’s thoughts got clearer. He shouldn’t care about how the Whispering God from the Endless World got into Anril. Since it was here already, it was certainly related to the owner of this tomb—Prince Brahere. So, why did Prince Brahere place such a monster in his tomb?

Thinking about the missing mana, an idea flashed across Lin Li’s mind. Could it be that Prince Brahere used the Whispering God as the mana source of this tomb? If so, Prince Brahere might have cultivated this Whispering God himself!

Damn it! What master of the Arts! What is pursuing the Arts as his lifelong goal? This duke was a madman crazier than any High Elf! Even Lin Li was shocked by his speculation. Was there anything crazier than cultivating a terrifying monster like the Whispering God to use as the mana source? Even Highlord Osric, who had ventured into the spirits’ realm in order to create the perfect body, had only used an ancient Flame Dragon’s magical crystal as mana source for the Eternal Furnace.

Of course, this was just Lin Li’s speculation. The truth might not be as crazy as this. However, Lin Li couldn’t think of any better explanation for the missing mana. He definitely had to examine this pool more closely. After all, Lin Li didn’t know what lay inside this pool. There might be nothing inside, it might hold the key to turn the tides, or it might be fatal. Regardless of what he might find inside, nothing could be worse than their situation now.

Seeing that Lin Li didn’t reply, Hoffman apologetically said, “Master Felic, I shouldn’t have involved you in this!” Evidently, he was hopeless in the situation now.

Sensing Hoffman’s desperation, Lin Li couldn’t reveal anything. After all, he wasn’t confident whether he could solve this problem. He replied, “Hold on there, there may be a turn for the better.”

“You have a solution!?” Lin Li’s reply was like the life-saving straw for Hoffman.

“I need you to hold this monster back for some time. Whether my method works or not, it depends on the accuracy of my speculation!” Lin Li hesitated no longer. He retrieved a tube of blue potion from the Ring of Endless Storm and drank everything in one gulp.

Lin Li wasn’t just talking to Hoffman. Everyone in the incubation room could hear what he said. Whether his words could spark new hope for these people wasn’t something he could control. After Lin Li had drunk the tube of potion, he raised the Helios’ Scepter without waiting for Hoffman’s reply. Countless Solar Spheres fluctuating between black and white color condensed all around Lin Li. As he pointed the Helios’ Scepter, the Solar Spheres shot towards the Whispering God’s forest of tentacles like a wave of shooting stars.

“Bang! Bang!”

After these Solar Spheres which integrated dark and light energy touched the Whispering God’s tentacles, the two conflicting energies immediately exploded with much greater intensity than the self-explosion of the Angels of Light and Dark. Although such explosive power wasn’t enough to harm the Whispering God’s extremely resilient tentacles, it was able to disperse the tentacles and clear a way towards the pool.

Only then did Hoffman and his companions realize what Lin Li had meant. This was too shocking for the exploration team. After all, most of the people in this battle had lost much of their combat energy, and only Lin Li was still in his prime condition, withstanding almost half of the combat pressure. Even so, everyone still felt too fatigued. If they lost Lin Li’s powerful fighting strength, everyone would soon suffer a breakdown from the Whispering God’s attacks.
