Lin Yun didn’t make any movements, but the ground under his feet suddenly swelled, and with a rumble, a seven-meter-tall Earth Wall suddenly appeared .
The Earth Wall was like a living animal burrowing out of the ground . All kinds of strange lifeforms squirmed out before gathering atop the Earth Wall, which started flickering with a metallic luster .
The frantic Aura Slash fell onto the wall, and sharp metallic sounds echoed as if countless swords were colliding on top of it .
One attack, and the expression of that Beastman Sword Saint changed . He had originally thought that this was a random, unremarkable human that had unexpectedly appeared there by chance . He hadn’t felt any formidable strength from him . But when that instant spell was able to resist his sneak attack, he thought to himself, ‘This is a powerful Archmage!’
With his first attack failing, the Beastman hesitated and prepared to make another move, but Lin Yun wasn’t hiding behind the Earth Wall . He had left his cover and was pointing a finger at the Sword Saint .
In an instant, this Beastman’s red complexion darkened somewhat as he felt something from that ordinary-looking finger . He unexpectedly felt as if the entire world had been pressured by the finger and that breathing had become more and more difficult . The air and space appeared to have already frozen .
Fou- colored runes were curled at Lin Yun’s fingertip, and more of them appeared from the void in mid-air before ultimately gathering towards Lin Yun’s and transforming into a four-colored ray of light .
The surrounding earth, fire, water, and wind elements became exceptionally active as they took the shape of a storm, and the core of that storm was Lin Yun’s finger .
The Beastman’s face was filled with alarm, and he could no longer worry about remaining hidden . His face turned deep red, and blood started seeping out of his pores as his Aura burst out in an instant, not holding a single bit back .
And this was only to escape from that terrifying pressure .
The Beastman Sword Saint didn’t even have time to turn before the four-colored light at the tip of Lin Yun’s finger struck his body . His Battle Aura Armor and weapons seemed like nothing more than decorations as they had no effect at all .
The next moment, the entire world became quiet again and the Beastman just stood on the spot, his eyes filled with horror and despair .
Lin Yun’s expression remained the same as he turned around and continued towards the Sunset Fort .
After a few steps, the Beastman behind him let out a desperate howl as countless four-colored lights appeared on his body . Several runes of the four elements appeared before his eyes and assembled together to form a single one .
The boundless elements were like hungry wolves pouring into the body of that Raging Flame Beastman .
After three seconds, blinding light started bursting out from the Beastman’s orifices as his body began to crack . The glaring white light blossomed .
“Bang…”
A loud sound echoed as the Beastman’s body exploded . But there was no blood, no messy fragments… Only some fine powder as he was destroyed in less than a second .
Lin Yun kept walking towards the Sunset Fort, not doubting for one second that the Beastman was already dead .
After ten days, the embryonic form of his Laws had already coalesced, and it hadn’t been the Fire Law he’d originally expected . Instead, he had the Fire Law, Water Law, Earth Law, and Wind Law at the same time .
At that time, Lin Yun felt that his decision to wait until he fused with Constance’s head before reaching the Archmage realm had paid off in spades .
It wasn’t that he had started forming a trace of a Law at the 1st Rank, but rather that after the fusion of the Magic Array and the three Meditation Law Sets, he’d started forming a set of four Laws at once .
This was obviously far more formidable than one wisp of Law .
Once a Heaven Rank powerhouse comprehended one Law to its limits, they could start to comprehend a new one . And the second Law would actually be a lot harder to comprehend .
This was because the suppression would be too powerful . The foundational Law would be too powerful, and the bias would be too severe .
At the peak of Noscent, the number of powerhouses that comprehended the four elemental Laws could be counted on one hand, but none had been able to use a combination of the four elements as their foundation!
The name of the Book of Death’s new All-Encompassing Chapter had stabilized, but no contents had appeared so far . However, it was just a matter of time . As long as the first step was taken, the rest would follow .
In these ten days, although he had only advanced to the 6th Rank, his increase in strength couldn’t be calculated by a difference of a rank, because this wasn’t just an increase in rank, but rather, an increase in quality .
What happened earlier was a good example . A sneaking 8th Rank Sword Saint had ambushed him from within ten meters, and there was no danger to him at all . But in such a situation, it shouldn’t have been so easy .
However, he only used a wisp of the power of the All Encompassing Chapter, only the power of the embryonic stage, yet it instantly killed the other side!
It even gave rise to a power similar to Extraordinary Power, and that 8th Rank Sword Saint hadn’t been able to display a single bit of strength .
Lin Yun used a wisp of the power of the All Encompassing Chapter to instantly destroy him . He didn’t just kill him… It was a kind of chaotic effect caused by the Earth Power, Water Power, Fire Power, and Wind Power converging . His physique and strength, as well as his soul, had been completely destroyed, equivalent to being truly erased from this world .
After testing it, Lin Yun used the Magic Array to run some simulations .
Now, if he faced Dubois, he still wouldn’t be able to kill his opponent if he didn’t risk his own life, and it would still be one-sided .
But the difference was that Dubois would no longer be able to use Extraordinary Power to completely suppress him and make him unable to move .
The power brought by the four elements as a foundation far surpassed the capabilities of a 9th Rank Archmage . This was the kind of Law formed by someone with one foot in the Heaven Rank .
And the resistance towards Extraordinary Power had been greatly increased . Although he still couldn’t defeat Dubois, he should have no problem escaping .
This small step shouldn’t be overlooked . That gap could be said to be incomprehensible to all Archmages .
Extraordinary Power wasn’t something a mortal could grasp, and the Heaven Rank also wasn’t something a mortal could stand against .
During the peak of the Magic Era, those who were able to flee a Heaven Rank without being one themselves all became powerhouses at the peak of Noscent, provided they didn’t die on the way .
And the instances of mortals counter-attacking and killing a Heaven Rank were all recorded in history and left in the decaying library!
The most famous case was when one of the future top three mage armies used a thousand 9th Rank Archmages, with half of them being Peak 9th Rank Archmages!
One thousand 9th Rank Archmages used the same Magic Conducting Rune and the same first-rate Magic Tool Set . They also had the same Magic Staff, and they used a thousand-man array together to jointly cast a 9th Tier Spell .
After exhausting all their means, they managed to kill a not-so-powerful Heaven Rank!
This battle was recorded as a miracle of mortal counterattack and placed among the texts of the decaying library .
Currently, Lin Yun could only escape from a Heaven Rank powerhouse, and even if it was only a Low Rank Heaven Mage, it would be enough to be recorded .
Lin Yun was very satisfied with the current circumstances . He could always escape .
Only after experiencing it himself did he truly understand why Heaven Ranks were already considered another kind of lifeform . The gap between mortals and Extraordinary beings was just too great . Without Extraordinary Power, one simply couldn’t resist .
Lin Yun returned to the Sunset Fort, and Harren and Jouyi immediately glanced at each other after seeing him . They unexpectedly felt a huge sense of danger .
Lin Yun’s aura and temperament were completely different than just ten days ago .
A trace of helplessness and worry flashed in Harren’s eyes, but he didn’t say anything . As for Jouyi, he walked over and congratulated Lin Yun . “Sir Merlin, congratulations on your strength increasing . ”
Lin Yun smiled and nodded .
“Sir Jouyi, can we start the next phase?”
“Yes, we already have the Sunset Fort under control, and we also found that ancient Teleportation Array mentioned in the legends . If no problem crop up, as long as we restore and activate it, the entire Andlusa Kingdom will be able to use it this place as a springboard to kill their way into the hinterlands . ”
Lin Yun nodded again . This was something they had agreed on before .
Lin Yun walked to the center of the Sunset Fort, and that huge plaza had already changed . There were traces of an alchemy array over a hundred meters in size, but that array remained dormant .
The alchemists of the Cloud Tower and the Black Tower were unable to find a solution and hadn’t managed to restore this array . Thus, everyone had been waiting for Lin Yun, the Artisan, to come back .
Lin Yun walked to the plaza with a crystal pen as well as a bottle of Dragonblood Ink . He kept altering some defective parts of the array . The Cloud Tower and the Black Tower were already to resupply materials if needed .
It only took him half an hour to fix the array .
The other alchemists were agape at the difference, especially two Great Masters among them . They looked at Lin Yun as if they were looking at a God .
They weren’t ignorant, and it wasn’t that they had never seen Artisan . They had actually met all of Andlusa’s Artisans . It was just that the other Artisans weren’t as relaxed as Lin Yun when they worked and couldn’t restore such a huge and complex array the way Lin Yun did .
