Although each shard that splattered was only the size of a fingernail, it would cause a ground-shaking explosion when it fell into the surrounding forest, and its power was probably not inferior to that of Legendary-level magic spells. It was clear how terrifying of a power the World Sword contained. However, despite being terrifying, it could not compare to the Golden Behemoth, which was simply devastating.
This is outrageous! Upon sight of that, Lin Li’s eyeballs were almost going to fall out. Even an ancient wyrm would be cut into pieces when it collided with his World Sword. However, the sword which seemed to be able to split the world open could not give the Golden Behemoth a single wound at all.
Lin Li had already known that the Golden Behemoth’s defense was incredibly high, but he had not expected it to be so high that even a full-blown attack of his could not break it. How could he continue? Lin Li was incredibly frustrated. Do I really have to flee from the sky!?
“Howl!”
Although the Golden Behemoth wasn’t heavily injured by Lin Li’s World Sword, having a strong defense didn’t mean that it was numb to pain. Clearly, the blow from the World Sword made the Golden Behemoth experience unprecedented pain, which surprisingly caused it to go berserk when coupled with the anger of having its underlings get killed.
After the deafening roar, the Golden Behemoth’s aura was raised to a greater height, and the golden light that its body emitted became even more substantial. It was as if it was shrouded in a layer of golden mist. Immediately afterwards, the Golden Behemoth suddenly jumped out of the large pit, and swung its massive front claws as they smacked hard against the World Sword.
Boom! A series of explosions sounded. In less than a second, the Golden Behemoth blasted the World Sword dozens of times.
Initially, the World Sword was already covered with cracks because of the recoil, and it could be considered to be barely maintaining its form of a giant sword. However, the Golden Behemoth’s crazy attacks caused the Laws of the World Sword to eventually disintegrate until it became unrestrained. The massive amount of mana erupted in an instant too.
The World Sword contained almost half of Lin Li’s mana and all the Laws that constituted the world. After being blown apart by the Golden Behemoth, all of its power erupted like a nuclear bomb. Amidst the massive and deafening roar, as well as the violent shaking of the world, a large mushroom-shaped cloud rose in the air.
Even Lin Li, who was standing in mid-air, was unable to stabilize his body under the powerful impact. He had no choice but to retreat continuously. By the time he finally stabilized his body, he looked at the giant mushroom-shaped cloud, only to gasp in shock.
This time, Lin Li finally understood why the Behemoths could contend with the ancient wyrms and the Titans under the lead of the Golden Behemoths. If there were enough of such Golden Behemoths in the prehistoric times, it probably would’ve been possible to annihilate the ancient wyrms and Titans.
Just as Lin Li was being incredibly astonished by the toughness of the Golden Behemoth, he was suddenly alarmed, and he almost subconsciously activated the flashing power of the Space Robe. Almost at the same time, a golden figure emerged from the mushroom-shaped cloud that had yet to disperse, and darted towards Lin Li like a cannonball.
When Lin Li’s figure appeared in another location, he saw a wisp of shadow that he had left in his original position being dispersed by the Golden Behemoth. Lin Li couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat because of that scene. He didn’t think that he would be able to withstand the Golden Behemoth’s slap.
Although the Golden Behemoth couldn’t fly, its strong body and jumping abilities could not be ignored. Lin Li had originally been already hundreds of meters above ground, but the Golden Behemoth managed to catch up with him after just taking one leap.
However, as soon as Lin Li opened his eyes, he saw the Golden Behemoth that had a ferocious gaze. With a roar of indignation, it crashed like a golden shooting star. However, in less than a minute, the giant golden cannonball shot up again.
I’ll evade again! At the thought of it, the flashing function of the Space Robe was activated once again, leaving an afterimage of the Golden Behemoth in the same place.
The front claws of the Golden Behemoth dispersed Lin Li’s afterimage with a gust of wind.
“Ah!” The Golden Behemoth was filled with fury, and its gilded body seemed to be covered in a layer of red. However, no matter how angry and indignant it was, it could only stare at Lin Li ferociously from afar as it turned into a meteor and fell to the ground.
In fact, Lin Li’s heart was also full of helplessness as he watched the Golden Behemoth fall to the ground. He didn’t want to continue struggling with the Golden Behemoth, either, but the other party’s defense was simply incredible. Even the World Sword could not bombard it, and it wasn’t an easy thing to kill the other party.
Of course, if it really reached the point where it was a life-and-death battle, Lin Li would still have a way to kill the Golden Behemoth. However, the problem was that this was, after all, different from the battle that he had with Osric in the control center of the Sky Castle back then. Lin Li had another way out, and it was only just a matter of choice.
Hence, Lin Li now wanted to kill the Golden Behemoth, but he didn’t want to pay too high of a price, which resulted in a somewhat awkward situation where they could not hit each other or do anything to each other, yet both of them refused to give up just like that.
The Golden Behemoth’s body was indeed very strong. When it fell from a height of hundreds of meters, there was no buffer when it came into contact with the ground; in fact, it even got propelled into the air again by the rebounding force. When looked at from afar, one would see streams of golden light being continuously launched into the air.
Lin Li flashed several times in mid-air, and felt that the mana that he had used up when casting the World Sword was almost restored in a short period of time. He couldn’t help but sigh again. Geresco’s Meditation Land was truly incredible. Only a Meditation Land as such could give rise to so many incredible prehistoric magical beasts.
Damn it, I refuse to believe that there isn’t a single weak spot in your body! Seeing that the Golden Behemoth was wailing and propelling itself upwards again, Lin Li did not flash again. Instead, he dodged towards the side a little, while a ball of light emerged from the Helios’ Scepter in his hand at the same time. Bolts of lightning appeared in the air, forming a huge Destructive Thunder Purgatory that trapped the Golden Behemoth.
However, the Destructive Thunder Purgatory was just like a weak cobweb in the face of the Golden Behemoth which managed to tear it into pieces with a swing of its claws. Nonetheless, it managed to offset some of the Golden Behemoth’s upward force this time. After all, it was only relying on its jumping power, and could not really stay in the air.
Immediately afterwards, the Helios’ Scepter flashed again, and a World Sword that was far inferior to the one from before yet was much more insidious appeared below the Golden Behemoth. The area that the sword was pointing at was the Golden Behemoth’s an*s.
It was not that Lin Li was perverted, but he really couldn’t think of any other spot in the Golden Behemoth’s body that could be considered a weakness to be exploited. Of course, the Golden Behemoth’s eyes should be considered a weak point in its defense, but the problem was that the Golden Behemoth was not a fool. How could it allow anyone to poke its eyes?
Now that the Golden Behemoth was in a moment of rage, it leaped into the air and attacked Lin Li without caring about anything else, thus giving Lin Li a chance to attack. Otherwise, if the Golden Behemoth were to stay on the ground, Lin Li might not really have the opportunity to attack that spot.
After the World Sword appeared, it did not attack the Golden Behemoth, and instead hovered in midair, waiting for the falling Golden Behemoth to sit up. It was an utterly shameless move, but of course it would only work if the Golden Behemoth took the bait.
Generally speaking, no matter how great the power one might have, there would be no way one could exert it in midair without an ability to fly. Hence, the Golden Behemoth could not stop itself from falling, and could no longer change the trajectory of its fall, especially since its body was so huge. The sheer size of its body caused it to fall quickly, and there was no time for it to adjust its posture at all.
Finally, under Lin Li’s close attention, the Golden Behemoth’s buttocks collided with the World Sword. Truth be told, Lin Li could not tolerate the sight at this point anymore. It was simply a tragedy.
However, there was no piercing sound this time. Seated above the blade of the World Sword, the Golden Behemoth fell together with it. Besides, due to the fact that the World Sword had an upward force, it seemed to hold the Golden Behemoth up, and thus it didn’t fall to the ground as fast as it did just now.
Are you kidding me? It has such a strong defense in that spot too!? Lin Li dared not believe his eyes at all. Of course, in reality, Lin Li could already feel from the World Sword that he controlled that a layer of power was shrouded around the Golden Behemoth, and was the very same power that blocked the World Sword.
That power was the golden light on the Golden Behemoth’s body, which resembled the combat energy of the Sword Sages. However, if one looked closely, one would find that each particle that converged into the golden light was an ancient mysterious rune that contained a powerful force.
Not only did Lin Li’s World Sword not manage to break through that layer of power and pierce the Golden Behemoth’s body, it was gradually eroded and contaminated by the ancient mysterious runes that caused that power to be even stronger.
Noticing this problem, Lin Li was beyond frustrated. It was no longer a problem of the thickness of its skin, but rather that the layer of power caused the Golden Behemoth to have no weakness at all. Lin Li believed that even if he could find a way to stab the Golden Behemoth’s eyes, the result would probably be exactly the same as now.
Damn it, this is forcing me to do it brutally! Lin Li gritted his teeth furiously, and waved his hand to remove the World Sword that was stabbed under the Golden Behemoth’s buttocks. At the same time, he raised the Helios’ Scepter with his other hand, and instantly opened his World Domain. Immediately afterwards, he saw a black and white Solar Sphere that quickly emerged from his World Domain before darting towards the Golden Behemoth that was still in midair.
The black-and-white Solar Sphere was the combination of light and darkness, just like the Angels of Light and Dark that Lin Li had once created. As long as the balance of power of light and darkness was slightly altered, the conflict between the two powers would trigger a violent explosion. However, the power of this explosion was definitely not enough to be used against the Golden Behemoth. After all, even a full-blown strike with Lin Li’s World Sword could not break the defense of the Golden Behemoth.
However, Lin Li did not intend to blast the Golden Behemoth to death, and instead had another plan in mind. One by one, black-and-white Solar Spheres began blasting at the Golden Behemoth in mid-air, and sent violent explosions around its huge body. Of course, the explosions could not break the Golden Behemoth’s defense, but how could it not fall when being bombarded hard in midair?
Through the analysis of the mysterious ancient runes, Lin Li discovered a secret in the Golden Behemoth’s body, and that was that the mysterious ancient runes had a subtle connection with the Laws of the earth. Although they did not belong to the Laws of the earth, they acted as a constant source of power for the Golden Behemoth, which allowed the Golden Behemoth to remain highly resistant to attacks.
There was almost no limit to the defensive power of the Golden Behemoth which was on the ground. No matter how strong the blow might be, it would be able to increase its defensive power as long as it was on the ground. As long as the earth was not destroyed, its layer of defense would never be broken unless its connection with the earth was broken.
Lin Li was also inspired by the scheming and perverted move just now. If he wanted to make the Golden Behemoth lose contact with the earth, he naturally had to keep it in the air. Therefore, Lin Li came up with such a move to make sure that the Golden Behemoth never touched the ground.
Of course, even if its connection with the earth was momentarily severed, it did not mean that the Golden Behemoth’s defense would immediately crumble. Unless Lin Li used such a means to keep the Golden Behemoth in the air, its defense would probably take a year or two to weaken.
However, Lin Li did not have that much time to spend with the Golden Behemoth. Hence, after keeping the Golden Behemoth in the air, he put away the Helios’ Scepter, and replaced it with a silver crossbow that was covered in dark gold mageweaths. The crossbow was the crossbow reincarnation that he had specially created to mimic the characteristics of the Stars of Fury so as to match the debris of the stars.
