Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Feeling the biting cold, Mu Nujiao looked at Mu Ningxue and said, "Do you have a solution? My plant-type abilities are countered by this ice domain."

Mu Ningxue shook her head and said, "My cultivation level is not high enough. If I had seized the initiative, I could have taken away the Ice Spirit."

"I'll do it," Lin Lan stepped forward.

Although the surrounding ground is filled with ice elements, the sky belongs to lightning!

"Rumble~~~~~~~~~~~"

The speed at which a domain takes shape reflects the strength of a mage's control.

As Lin Lan called out, the lightning elements in the air obeyed her command.

Within seconds, Pei Li sensed that something was very wrong.

The ice element began to dissipate, while the lightning element continuously condensed from the air, causing a tingling sensation on the surface of the body.

Pei Li knew exactly what Lin Lan was doing, but the speed at which this domain was taking shape was just too fast.

"Damn it, the frozen coffin!"

Pei Li's domain had been suppressed, but even without its enhancement, he remained a powerful ice mage. His speed in drawing constellations was astonishing; icy white star trails rapidly intertwined around him. Combined with his powerful soul-ice energy, the high-level ice magic he unleashed was several times more potent than that of an ordinary mage!
Soul Seeds are beings superior to Spirit Seeds, and Pei Li possesses an Ice-type Soul Seed. Even with his domain broken, its pure destructive power remains undiminished!

A chilling, enormous coffin suddenly plummeted from the pitch-black night sky.

The immense freezing power and the crystal-hard ice coffin instantly enveloped Lin Lan.

However, the surging lightning around Lin Lan was not suppressed in the slightest.

"Ring! Ring~~~~~~"

Within the contract space, the little dragon princess was crying out, seemingly dissatisfied that this area was not filled with lightning element.

"I'll take him down in one move."

The little dragon princess chirped excitedly, and before she even took form, she leaped into the depths of Lin Lan's soul like a cuddly sparrow.

Lin Lan's body already contained explosive lightning energy, and with Xiao Long Ji's further enhancement, it instantly erupted completely!

The divine punishment of the nine heavens surged forth from Lin Lan's body, and the raging golden lightning shot out from every inch of his skin, eager to crush everything around him into dust. Even though a powerful ice mountain was wrapped around him, it could not stop the surging and breaking of the dam of lightning!

The iceberg's body could no longer withstand the pressure and shattered instantly.

Lin Lan was completely enveloped in golden lightning, his domain taking shape, his aura overwhelming! Every part of his body exuded a suffocating pressure!!

"This is... possession..."

Before Pei Li could even utter a word, he was sent flying through the air and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Little Dragon Princess has also mastered the spatial element."

Mu Nujiao witnessed Lin Lan's use of spatial magic, and her control over it was definitely no less than that of a high-level spatial mage, not much different from Ai Jiangtu. It's worth noting that Xiaolongji's primary attribute is lightning. In his possessed state, Lin Lan only needed a thought; Pei Li didn't have time to react. Although he was a mental mage, his attention had been entirely focused on observation, leaving him completely unprepared.

"Thunder Halberd!"

Lin Lan sketched the constellations almost instantly, describing them as dazzling and magnificent.

"Boom! B ...

One, two... all the way up to nine!
"Holy crap, this level of control is comparable to high-level magic, and this Thunder Halberd is going to replicate the Nine Commandments!" Zhao Manyan, who had been just observing the whole time, was completely stunned.

The halberd formed from lightning is made up of countless long, golden lightning bolts twisted together. Although its length and thickness are not as large as the Nine-Ring Restriction of the Super-Rank, only ten meters long, its power is absolutely comparable!
With a deafening roar, nine thunder halberds ripped through the sky and fell onto the street, forming a nine-pointed star pillar array that stood around Pei Li.

The street was instantly reduced to scorched earth, and a huge crater appeared, where Pei Li was imprisoned, or rather, suffering unbearable pain.

The residual electricity that spread to the surrounding area was enough to keep people away from it. If Lin Lan wanted to, the lightning could have caused countless deaths and injuries if it had spread.

The electric current surged continuously, and lightning mercilessly lashed at Pei Li's body, causing him excruciating pain and destroying everything in its path.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Pei Li never expected that before he could even finish speaking or cast a spell, he would be beaten so badly by another high-level mage that his skin was torn open. Every strike of lightning felt like it was going to annihilate his soul!
Killing Pei Li wouldn't really make a difference. Sending out such a mage means that Lin Lan is just a secondary target, and the main objective is Leng Jue's plan... But Lin Lan is too lazy to care.

If you tell the temple's Cold Lord that you stole something, you might end up with a mental illness.

Pei Li was going to hand him over to the temple, since he was originally one of the temple's people.

Although Li Yu'e is an ordinary person, she has an exceptionally good memory and can remember the face of almost everyone she has ever met...

Looking at Pei Li's face, she recognized the mark on the temple mage's hand, and the mark on Pei Li's bare hand had been rubbed raw, but she believed her suspicions were correct.

Of course, the temple could also immediately deduce Pei Li's identity.

“You…you are, a temple mage? Or a sanitation worker?” Li Yu’e said.

Pei Li forced a smile through his pain, not denying it: "It was true before, but not anymore. I have a daughter, and I've done everything I could to protect her and watch her grow up. The day she was chosen to enter the Temple of the Goddesses in the Parthenon filled me with more joy and pride than when I myself entered the Temple of Liberty and became a temple mage. I also have a superior who made a mistake, and the temple didn't want him to be punished. I've always considered him like an older brother, so I willingly took all of this upon myself."

“I was expelled from the temple, and all the cultivation I had painstakingly acquired was abolished. My superior promised me that he would make my daughter a supreme mage, surpassing me, an insignificant member of the temple. I believed him and was willing to become a powerless mortal, even if it meant sweeping the streets of New York, I would feel it was worth it.”

"But then... there was a being that wanted to take my daughter's life, dragging her into the abyss of death, not even sparing her soul. I begged my superior to save her, but he was powerless! I personally fought the murderer who killed my daughter, but I didn't have a single wisp of magic. At that moment, do you know how much I longed for magic to return to my body? While my loved ones were screaming and crying, I was paralyzed to the side like a useless old dog, watching everything happen... The reason I did all this was because it gave me power. This kid was just a mission; if I didn't kill him, it's because my cultivation level wasn't high enough." Pei Li's expression remained largely unchanged, gentle to the point of being strange, even terrifying.

Li Yu'e fell silent. She didn't know what the world of magicians was like, but listening to Pei Li's narration, she could feel an unprecedented cruelty.

Pei Li is probably saying all this to her because of his daughter.
