Chapter 1219: Reverse Sanctuary-realm

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the Tower of Dusk’s side, Dorick, the deputy head of the Mage Legion, was about to tell Elder Zumar the reason for the conflict, but Connoris glared at him to stop him. Immediately afterwards, Connoris turned to look at Elder Zumar, and smilingly said, “Elder Zumar, you don’t have to care about this. We happen to want to see just how capable the Giant Shark Clan is to have the audacity to say that all beings of the Endless Ocean should obey them.”

Although Connoris was once an ancient demon deity who was a master of deceit and conspiracy, he now possessed a powerful and perfect body. If he wanted to reach the Sanctuary-realm, he would have to hone his skills through battles in addition to comprehension. Hence, Connoris no longer avoided battles, and instead yearned to have more of them.

Before following Lin Li to the cursed land, he had indeed encountered a lot of battles, but they were of too high a level for Connoris to participate in. The power of the incarnation of the Serpents of Light and the demigod High Priest Poer were far greater than his, so he couldn’t quite sharpen his skills by fighting with them.

Fortunately, Lin Li caught two Light-Winged Angels, and gave them to Connoris for research, which concluded his trip fruitfully. However, the Light-Winged Angels were life forms that could be created only by gods. Connoris was not even in the Sanctuary-realm yet, so it wouldn’t be easy for him to comprehend anything out of them.

Hence, honing his skills and abilities through battles was still very important to Connoris as it was one of the most feasible ways that he could use to reach the Sanctuary-realm. In Connoris’ opinion, the Giant Shark Clan was a good opponent. For the sake of stepping into the Sanctuary-realm, Connoris didn’t bother to think about what consequences it would cause.

In Connoris’ opinion, how to deal with the ensuing consequences that might include the retaliation of the Giant Shark Clan or a war was for Lin Li to consider. Since Lin Li wasn’t worried now, there was naturally no need for Connoris to be afraid of causing any trouble.

Elder Zumar couldn’t help but feel vexed and dismayed to have failed to persuade either party. Fortunately, his disciple Forcus approached at this juncture, and told Elder Zumar softly about everything that he had found out from the onlookers.

The Giant Shark Clan, one of the seven overlords of the ocean, and the Tower of Dusk, which had recently become a household name in the Gilded Kingdom, were significant enough to be able to garner attention from the people for every little thing they did. Besides, they were now going toe-to-toe against each other. Hence, there had long been many onlookers crowding around the embassy, and they were naturally aware of what happened since the beginning.

After listening to Forcus’ words, Elder Zumar finally figured out why the Giant Shark Clan suddenly confronted the Tower of Dusk. However, learning of the reason actually made him find the problem trickier and the situation harder to handle because unlike a minor conflict that could be resolved with some persuasion, it was something more serious.

Being a member of high status in the Illuminati, Elder Zumar more or less knew why Grina was insistent on having those seahorse slaves.

Since the great ocean war’s end, the Giant Shark Clan had been going around capturing seahorse slaves at all costs. Everyone knew that there was nothing extraordinary about the strength of the seahorse slaves, very few among which could reach the Legendary-realm. If the Giant Shark Clan just wanted to capture some slaves for hard labor, it didn’t seem necessary to insist on picking the seahorse slaves.

Hence, many forces that had been paying attention to the Giant Shark Clan, including the Illuminati, had a conjecture about the Giant Shark Clan’s peculiar behavior regarding the seahorse slaves. They believed that they had likely gone to great lengths to capture the seahorse slaves for the sale of the relics of the former Seahorse Royals to obtain their powerful secrets.

Although there were many forces that also tried to capture some seahorse slaves in hopes of finding out something from them, the research results were a huge disappointment to them. The reason that most of the seahorse slaves could not reach the Legendary-realm was purely because they lacked talent, just like the other clans that could not reach the Legendary-realm.

However, while countless people of the human race and other intelligent races failed to enter the Legendary-realm, there were also many geniuses that continued to appear, yet there seemed to be no geniuses in the Seahorse Clan. If those who couldn’t reach the Legendary-realm were considered wastrels, the Seahorse Clan would be a complete good-for-nothing.

However, the Giant Shark Clan had obtained the largest slice of the pie during the ocean war, and no one knew what secrets they held. Perhaps there were some secrets about the royals of the Seahorse Clan. Otherwise, there was no way they could explain their attitude towards the Seahorse Clan.

Therefore, regardless of whether there were secrets or not, and regardless of what the secrets were, Elder Zumar was certain about one thing: it would be a Herculean task to make Grina give up on the idea of acquiring the seahorse slaves.

Can I try to persuade President Felic of the Tower of Dusk to give up those seahorse slaves that he has already bought? At this point, Elder Zumar felt even more vexed. If it were someone else, he might be somewhat confident, but Lin Li was an exception.

Look at what Lin Li did after he came to the Gilded Kingdom! In a fit of rage, he destroyed the Fifth Fleet of the Gilded Kingdom, and not long after that, he razed the barracks of the kingdom’s royal guards to the ground. That was a huge insult to the Gilded Kingdom. Elder Zumar could tell from those two incidents that Lin Li was definitely not the type who would be willing to give in easily, especially when the other party wanted to do things the hard way. Lin Li would definitely be more insistent and vehement than the other party in those cases.

“My friends from the Tower of Dusk, could you ask President Felic to come out for us to have a good talk? They’re just some slaves, there’s no need to get into such a huge conflict because of this.” Although Elder Zumar knew that the situation was difficult to handle, he couldn’t just ignore it. Hence, he merely hoped that Lin Li would come out for his sake.

“Elder Zumar, you don’t have to go on. I know what you want to say, and I can answer on Felic’s behalf. He has spent his money on those seahorse slaves, so they’re his rightful property. If you want those slaves, you have to either have some ties with him or have enough power. I doubt any of those Giant Shark Clan members have either of those two qualities. So, I’m afraid they can forget about it.” Connoris was bent on getting physical with the Giant Shark Clan, and thus he was obviously full of contempt towards the Giant Shark Clan when speaking about them. Of course, he wasn’t simply taking matters into his own hands, but rather he knew that Lin Li didn’t respect the Giant Shark Clan at all. Otherwise, Lin Li wouldn’t have been unwilling to see them. In that case, it meant that there was no room for negotiation.

As expected, after hearing the words of Connoris, the people of the Giant Shark Clan lost their temper. One of the Four Divine Generals, Zorro, took two steps past Elder Zumar, and tried to punch Connoris. He furiously hollered, “You’re just a Legendary-level ant, and yet you dare to speak so shamelessly. In this case, we’ll show you if the Giant Shark Clan has the ability or not!”

Connoris’ strength was only at the peak of the Legendary level, and the people around them could clearly tell that Zorro, who was one of the Four Divine Generals, was a level-27 Sanctuary powerhouse. The two of them were definitely worlds apart. When Zorro struck, the people around almost immediately guessed that the Legendary powerhouse of the Tower of Dusk was definitely going to be blown to pieces.

Elder Zumar was horrified, and he was torn between watching Connoris get killed and intervening to block Zorro’s attack. All of a sudden, he was at a loss for what to do. If Connoris, a member of the Tower of Dusk, was killed, Lin Li would definitely go to war with the Giant Shark Clan given his character. However, if Elder Zumar were to block Zorro’s strike, the Giant Shark Clan would definitely hate him and the Illuminati, and that would be giving the Illuminati a powerful enemy for no reason.

All in all, Elder Zumar had seen how Connoris attacked back in the land of curses, and although he had a certain understanding of Connoris’ strength, he didn’t think that Connoris was strong enough to contend with Zorro, a Sanctuary powerhouse.

In fact, Zorro’s punch was indeed not simple at all. The fluctuations emitted from the Laws of the power even allowed a ferocious ancient Giant Shark to be condensed in thin air. It opened its large mouth, and pounced on Connoris.

Despite considering the fact that they were now on the turf of the Gilded Kingdom, Zorro didn’t use any destructive martial arts techniques, and instead just condensed his power, and struck with his fist. However, his power was definitely not something that a Legendary-level powerhouse could resist. The plan he had in mind was that he would blast the embassy of the Tower of Dusk into pieces after killing the nobody with a single punch, and force Felic to appear.

“Hey, hey, this guy is mine!” Faced with the punch that Zorro launched, Connoris remained calm without showing a single trace of horror. Instead, he even seemed a little joyous. He was saying those words to Norfeller, who had already merged into space. Having finally found such an opponent like Zorro, Connoris didn’t want Zorro to be pressured into retreating by Norfeller’s assassination.

Although Norfeller was usually cold and aloof, he wasn’t unkind and inhumane, especially since Connoris was on his side. Hence, after hearing Connoris’ words, Norfeller did not make a single move or strike at Zorro. Instead, he locked his killing intent on the other people of the Giant Shark Clan. As for whether Connoris could withstand the attack of a Sanctuary powerhouse, it was not something that was within his consideration. Even if Connoris got killed, he’d purely bring it upon himself.

On the other hand, since Connoris dared to confront and challenge a Sanctuary powerhouse, he naturally also had something to fall back on. Although in terms of level, he and Zorro of the Giant Shark Clan were worlds apart, his perfect body allowed his strength to far surpass that of the people who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm.

In fact, this perfect body itself was at the Sanctuary-realm. How could Highlord Osric have possibly provided a Legendary-level body for himself? However, Connoris still hadn’t been able to fully exert the power of the perfect body. Otherwise, he would have long reached the Sanctuary-realm.

Hence, in the face of the punch launched by Zorro the Sanctuary powerhouse, Connoris didn’t even bother to take out the Eternal Frost Blade, and instead punched him back. He wasn’t as formidable as Zorro, and he looked like an ordinary person swinging his fist. In the eyes of everyone else, he was just like a praying mantis swinging its scythes at an ancient beast.

In an instant, their fists collided, and the scene that appeared in front of everyone was that of a relatively thin person’s fist landing on the Giant Shark’s large mouth. Everyone thought that Connoris should be getting swallowed by the Giant Shark’s mouth and chewed into bits. However, the stranger thing was that a few seconds passed, and the two of them, whose strength was obviously worlds apart, seemed to have reached a stalemate.

Immediately afterwards, a sight that made them even more flabbergasted appeared. Large cracks suddenly appeared from the spot that Connoris’s and Zorro’s fist collided, and quickly spread out towards its body. At this moment, the loud sound of the explosion spread to the ears of the crowd who watched as the Giant Shark’s phantom burst like a fragile bubble. Zorro, one of the famous Four Divine Generals of the Giant Shark Clan, was suddenly blasted away.

Even Elder Zumar, who was still hesitant, was so stunned that his jaw dropped and remained wide open for a long time. Connoris, who was only at the peak of the Legendary-realm, actually blasted away a Sanctuary powerhouse. Why is the Tower of Dusk full of such perverse monsters?! The young president, who stepped into the Sanctuary-realm a long time ago, could even resist the attacks launched by a demigod. There’s also that vampire that went against the laws of common sense, and became an unprecedented Sanctuary-level vampire. Now, Connoris, who should be relatively ordinary, was actually able to blast away a Sanctuary powerhouse despite being only at the peak of the Legendary-level. Is there anything that the Tower of Dusk cannot do?

Among everyone, the one who was the most astonished and bewildered was Zorro, who had personally experienced the power of Connoris. If the latter had been at the same level as him, Zorro would still have been able to comfort himself. After all, he didn’t really exert the power of the Sanctuary-realm to the fullest. However, the problem was that Connoris was only at the peak of the Legendary-level, and was an ant in the eyes of the Sanctuary powerhouses! If Zorro hadn’t experienced it himself, he would have never believed that such an absurd thing could be true.

Finally, the group of the Giant Shark Clan, too, realized what an unbelievable thing had happened. Garcia, who was also one of the Four Divine Generals, immediately emitted the might of the Sanctuary-realm. Terrifying power condensed in his hands immediately, and he was about to unleash a destructive attack on Connoris.

However, at this juncture, a cold light appeared out of nowhere in front of Garcia’s chest before piercing right through his heart. It appeared without warning, and the killing intent that had previously been fixed on Garcia remained unchanged too.
