Chapter 1098: Separation of Spiritual Body
Lin Li even had a vague feeling that there seemed to be an invisible force influencing him and others along the way. Although they experienced many obstacles along the way, except for the shadow of the Sunwell, it seemed that every enemy they encountered did not exceed the endurance limit of the exploration team, or did not exceed Lin Li's ability. As a result, every battle, although it seems extremely difficult and dangerous, will always be easy in the end.
Lin Li didn't think that the Sky City of the Immortal King was really easy for someone like him, who had just entered the holy realm, to invade. If that is really the case, the Immortal King's Sky City seems to be too unworthy of its name, and the Immortal King cannot be called the first person in mythology.
So along the way, although Lin Li didn't mention it to anyone, his feelings in his heart became clearer and clearer. Someone hopes to finally reach the destination, but at the same time does not want to arouse the attention and suspicion of himself and others, then this person may only be Osric.
It was precisely because of this discovery that Lin Li became increasingly certain that what Osric really valued most was not the Sky City, the most powerful magical weapon, but the special control magic crystal. Therefore, although Lin Li seemed to be putting the control magic crystal on the console before, in fact it was just a bait. That was not the real Sky City control magic crystal, but one of the strange magic crystals that Lin Li got from the Marfa family when he was at the Death Trace.
Lin Li couldn't say he was 100% sure whether Osric could swallow this bait, but he was at least 70% to 80% confident. Because according to previous speculations, Lin Li could fully believe that what Osric had been waiting for was the moment when he would take out the control magic crystal from the Ring of Endless Storm.
After all, with Osric's strength, it was not difficult to deal with people like Lin Li. However, he could kill Lin Li, but he could not take out the control magic crystal from the Ring of Endless Storm. If Osric wanted to get the control magic crystal, he could only wait for Lin Li to take out the magic crystal himself, and then snatch it.
The only thing that worries Lin Li is whether Osric is familiar with the control magic crystal and whether he will recognize the difference between the control magic crystal and the bait.
After all, Lin Li still hasn't figured out the true origin of the control magic crystal. He only knows that the role of the control magic crystal is not just to control the city in the sky. When he first explored the Sky City, his mental power was tempered by the controlled magic crystal, and he also received a large amount of information left by the Immortal King.
Therefore, even before Lin Li came to the Sky City, he had already used alchemy to transform the strange magic crystal used as bait into the shape of the control magic crystal, achieving the effect of confusing the real one with the real one, and even the magic power fluctuations were very similar. However, Lin Li was unable to create the kind of power that controlled the magic crystal.
Lin Li's worry did not diminish at all until the moment Osric snatched the bait away from him. It wasn't until he and Osric started a spiritual battle in the magic crystal that his worries finally faded away. Even after the spiritual power penetrated in, no problem with the magic crystal was found. This shows that Osric is indeed not very familiar with the real control of magic crystals.
However, in order not to make Osric suspicious, Lin Li still did not relax at all and made a desperate grab gesture, even at the expense of paying a huge price. Even at the last moment, when Osric was about to put the bait on the console, Lin Li still vividly expressed his despair, powerlessness and unwillingness.
It wasn't until the strange magic crystal was activated and Osric's magic became violent that Lin Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Osric possesses unparalleled strength, Lin Li is not too worried that Osric will get rid of the influence of the strange magic crystal in a short time.
Although Lin Li was not sure about the origin of this kind of magic crystal that could swallow magic power, and the Marfa family only discovered this weird magic crystal by accident. However, through research for such a long time after acquiring it, Lin Li already had a very clear understanding of the properties of this strange magic crystal. Lin Li even often used this characteristic of the magic crystal to exercise his control over magic power.
One reason why Lin Li was able to do this was that his mental power was tempered by the control magic crystal, and the other reason was because of his research in the past few years. Although Osric was much more powerful than Lin Li in terms of realm, it was almost impossible to understand and master the characteristics of the magic crystal in a short period of time.
Of course, this does not mean that the plan is really foolproof. There is actually another biggest problem here, which is that Osric has not been exposed to this kind of magic crystal before. Regarding this point, although Lin Li, the Ash Warlock, already knew that this kind of strange magic crystal did not seem to have appeared in the dark ages, he still designed another trap inside just to be on the safe side.
In that magic crystal, Lin Li had already hidden a ray of spiritual power, which contained the power obtained from Mephisto, the Lord of Souls, which could isolate the human soul from the human body. In the previous spiritual battle between Lin Li and Osric in the magic crystal, the more important use was actually to cover up this hidden spiritual power to prevent Osric from using his mental power to deeply explore the magic crystal. Crystal's situation.
After getting the Immortal King's notes from the Ash Warlock, Lin Li knew that the perfect body created by Osric actually had some flaws. It was precisely because of these imperceptible flaws that Conneris could not perfectly integrate with his new body anyway. Osric would also encounter the same problem.
It was based on this judgment that when Lin Li designed the bait, he designed such a trap in the bait just in case.
When he first met Osric, Lin Li had already seen that the integration of Osric's soul and his new body was indeed not perfect, and there were still certain problems. Although the new body was tailor-made by Osric for himself, it was obvious that the flaws in it had not been completely made up for. So much so that even for a strong man like Osric, it would take quite a while for his soul to fully adapt to his new body.
Therefore, when Osric put the magic crystal on the console and triggered the strange power of the magic crystal, Lin Li immediately activated the trap he left. Although this small trap could only affect Osric for a moment, the isolation of his soul at this moment caused Osric to lose the best chance to get rid of the magic crystal.
Magic power is like water, the surging magic power is like a river, and the calm magic power is like a lake. Once the balance is destroyed, it will be like a dam breaking and it will be difficult to stay still. Because of this, no matter how powerful the mage is, he does not dare to use magic power wantonly, because once the process of magic power collapse begins, it can never be reversed. The same is true for the current big lord. The magic power was devoured crazily, which soon led to the collapse of the magic power.
The surging magic power burst out from Osric's body like a flash flood, out of control. Faced with such a situation, even though Osric had stood at the pinnacle of the Holy Realm, he was unable to restrain himself at all. He could not even let out a roar, and could only look at Lin Li with eyes full of infinite hatred.
The collapse of magic power made it impossible for a perfect body to support it. In people's eyes, Osric's appearance became old and decayed at an extremely fast speed. Soon, Osric, who was full of high spirits and domineering just now, turned into a shriveled and old look, with a stooped body, and the skin on his body had lost its luster and was full of wrinkles and blue-black scars.
Osric's appearance reminded Lin Li of the Ember Warlock he saw for the first time. However, the Ash Warlock's body naturally aged and decayed due to his existence for too long, while Osric's body lost a lot of vitality due to the collapse of his magic power.
Seeing this change in Osric, Archbishop Martin and others finally understood why Lin Li stopped himself and others from attacking. But at the same time, they felt even more shocked in their hearts. He was a strong man at the pinnacle of the Holy Domain, how could he be like this!
Lin Li's obstruction gave Archbishop Martin and others reason to believe that the reason why Osric ended up in such a situation was most likely related to this young powerful man from the Holy Domain. As soon as this thought came out, an uncontrollable chill rose from deep in their hearts, instantly replacing the joy of surviving the disaster.
This kind of calculation is really terrible. It is even more frightening than the powerful strength of the Holy Realm. Osric was the most famous genius in the Dark Ages. Not only in terms of strength and talent, he also had unparalleled intelligence. But such a stunning figure, a seemingly invincible peak Saint Realm powerhouse, actually ended up in such a miserable situation due to calculations!
Archbishop Martin and others had to feel lucky that during this exploration of the Sky City, they did not stand on the opposite side of the Twilight Tower. Otherwise, they would have been plotted to the point where not even the scum would be left.
Of course, they would not know that from the very beginning of their meeting with Lin Li, they had been labeled as cannon fodder in Lin Li's plan.
Looking at Osric's appearance and rapid aging and decay, almost everyone thought that the overall situation was decided. However, at this moment, an illusory shadow suddenly rushed out of Osric's body, and then endless magic power covered the exploration team.
This sudden change immediately shocked Archbishop Martin and others, but it was too late to deal with it. Fortunately, Lin Li seemed to be well prepared. The seven star fragments sank into the void, and the realm world immediately enveloped the exploration team. Layers of defense faced the overwhelming magical attack.
"That is Osric's soul!" In the violent collision between magic and the realm world, Archbishop Martin and others finally reacted, and were shocked to discover that the phantom flying out of Osric's body turned out to be Osric's soul.
This frightened Archbishop Martin and others. Only then did they realize that Osric was a strong man at the pinnacle of the Holy Realm. Even if he was just a soul, it was not something that ordinary people could compete with. The strong men at the pinnacle of the Holy Realm are already close to gods. Even if their bodies age and decay, their souls are almost immortal, and their strength will not be weakened much by losing their bodies.
The battle just now had proved the terror of the strongest men in the Holy Realm. The people in the exploration team were just a bunch of scum in front of Osric. Even Lin Li, who was in the Holy Realm realm, was beaten to the point where he was almost unable to fight back. Now that Osric's soul has come out, his strength is not much weaker than before, so what's the fate of the exploration team?
However, Lin Li was not surprised at all by the escape of Osric's soul. It could be said that it was completely expected. The reason is simple, because Osric's soul did not achieve perfect integration with the new perfect body. When Osric's soul and perfect body are not perfectly integrated, they are like the alchemical colossus controlled by the alchemist. If there is a problem with the alchemical colossus, the alchemist can escape in time. And if the two have been perfectly combined, it will definitely be quite difficult to separate them.
Of course, Osric did not reach the level of perfect integration, which was also an important reason why Lin Li's trap worked. If Osric achieves perfect fusion, I'm afraid Lin Li won't be able to use that magic crystal to plot against him. With Osric's realm and strength, he might really be able to get rid of the influence of that weird magic crystal instantly.
Therefore, nothing in the world is perfect. If you gain benefits on one side, you will inevitably lose something on the other side. Therefore, for the current situation, Lin Li should be said to have been prepared to face it. At least Osric, who has lost his body, will definitely be affected a lot in terms of strength.
"Damn it, you all deserve to die!" Osric had never been so angry before. Even when he parted ways with the Immortal King, and even when he knew that the high elves had perished, he had never been as angry as he is now.
The majestic high lord Osric, a mythical figure like the Immortal King, was actually tricked by a junior into losing his new body. This is simply a huge shame. Especially when it turned out that all his previous schemes had been seen through by the other party, and that the other party had used their schemes to scheme against him. This was something he could not accept no matter what.
