Ripple Divine Palm! Palm Shatters Black Mountain!

The Black Mountain Duke certainly remembered Levi.

"Little Levi, you really are not dead. I never expected you to be from Four Great Families."

The Black Mountain Duke spoke in a low voice as he attacked.

"I've been searching for the Four Great Families for so long, hoping to obtain their extraordinary power, but I never expected that your Black Serpent Family is one of the Four Great Families! Snake is a false surname, isn't it? Your real surname should be one of Constantine, Winchester, Duncan, or Van Helsing, right?"

"Only those of the bloodlines of the Four Great Families can master witchcraft! To wield true extraordinary power!"

It's clear that the Black Mountain Duke has some knowledge of the Four Great Families.

Levi neither denied nor admitted it.

He obtained his Spirit Driving Handbook from the Black Mountain Duke's subordinates, so it's normal that the Black Mountain Duke knew some of the secrets of the Four Great Families.

After Levi destroyed the Evil Spirit, he took advantage of the Black Mountain Duke's unpreparedness.

Attack the Black Mountain Duke with the Flame Stream Seal.

A four-meter-long Cyan-Blue Flame erupted and swept over the Black Mountain Duke.

The Black Mountain Duke had run out of cards to play at this point.

He could only rely on his own Black Qi to withstand it.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle.

The blue-green flames scorched the Black Mountain Duke.

This was also interspersed with hidden weapon attacks formed from Levi's Black Qi.

One by one, the black energy cones were blocked by the Black Mountain Duke's protective Black Qi.

He bathed in flames and laughed wildly.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Breathing fire out of thin air, that's witchcraft! Hahaha, you really are one of the Four Great Families!"

"I searched high and low without finding it, but then it came to me effortlessly!"

"Your father was defeated by me, and you are no match for me either!"

"I will kill you, and your bloodline will become mine!"

The Black Mountain Duke seems to have been searching for members of the Four Great Families all along.

He may have mastered some kind of blood transfusion technique, which would allow him to possess the extraordinary bloodline of the Four Great Families, thus enabling him to cultivate the "witchcraft" he desires.

He now mistakenly believes that Levi, who has mastered "witchcraft," is a member of the Four Great Families.

It was as if we had grasped the last hope.

The Black Mountain Duke, driven to the brink of despair by the flames, was not afraid; instead, he laughed happily. He craved power and strength!

True extraordinary power! In his view, even if he had cultivated the ancestral Breathing Technique to its current limit, he was still not qualified to be called extraordinary.

Only those supernatural powers like Wind Caller, and controlling thunder and fire, can be considered extraordinary! Clearly, Levi possesses such power! This is precisely what the Black Mountain Duke has always craved!

The Black Mountain Duke laughed maniacally.

Boom! The Black Qi surrounding him exploded.

It was like a small black mushroom cloud exploding.

The black Black Mountain roared, its dark Black Qi surging.

"Black Whale Roar!"

He roared, and a terrifying sound wave swept over the area.

This attack, similar to sonic attacks, swept across the entire area; it wasn't a mental attack, but it was even more powerful.

Levi had a splitting headache, so he used Black Qi to plug his ears.

The Black Mountain Duke attacked, Levi used his Advanced Vibration Perception to dodge the Black Mountain Duke's deadly attacks. He then continued to attack the Black Mountain Duke Frostmourne.

The Black Mountain Duke seemed to know that Levi's witchcraft was powerful, so he was now attacking Levi at point-blank range, not giving Levi any chance to cast spells.

Two burly men were fighting each other in the wilderness.

The Black Mountain Duke seemed to have been corrupted by the Black Qi, and he no longer cared about the main battlefield, but instead attacked Levi frantically.

He was too powerful; just by relying on his peak Black Whale Black Qi, he made Levi feel extremely troubled.

Fortunately, Levi's attributes were more comprehensive, which prevented him from being suppressed by the Black Mountain Duke.

"Black Whale Crashing Mountain!" Black Mountain Duke unleashed another series of sword strikes, sweeping across the area.

Levi kept dodging, and even though he was wearing the Frost Giant Armor and the Black Scale Defense, he didn't dare to take the Black Mountain Duke's attacks head-on.

With a bang, Levi, who failed to dodge in time, was blasted away by the Black Mountain Duke and crashed into a large tree, causing the tree to collapse and dust to fly up. Levi coughed.

The Black Mountain Duke leaped forward, his greatsword charging towards him.

But what awaited him was no longer Levi's Frostmourne.

Instead, it was a giant hammer that suddenly appeared!

Legendary Realm weapon, Lion King's Pride! Boom! Lion King's Pride combined with Golden Cross Slash! The terrifying force directly shattered the Black Mountain Duke's Mithril greatsword!

Crack! The greatsword shattered and flew out in fragments.

The Black Mountain Duke stared at his empty palm.

And Levi, wielding a heavy hammer, charged in.

"This is... Lionheart Knight's hammer!"

"Such a good weapon is a waste to give to you."

"No wonder you're so strong, you must have inherited the Lionheart Knight's legacy. Haha, it's all mine now! The legacy of the Legendary Knight is mine too!"

"Little Levi, you've given me so many surprises!"

The Black Mountain Duke simply stopped using weapons.

Relying on his advantage of Black Qi, he used his fists, which were as big as sandbags, his elbows, his legs, his feet, and even his head.

Any part of the body can be the Black Mountain Duke's weapon.

He was clearly skilled in powerful physical combat, unlike ordinary Knight. He remained calm in the face of danger and attacked again.

The attack remained incredibly swift, splitting mountains and shattering rocks! "Black Whale Tail Swing!"

He unleashed a sweeping kick, aiming straight at Levi.

Levi's hammer came crashing down! Boom! The Black Mountain Duke dodged the fatal blow.

Bang, bang, bang! "Too cumbersome."

Levi also cast aside his Lion King's Pride.

The hammer is good, but it can't hit anyone without a sneak attack. That tactic can only be used once.

I don't know how the Lionheart Knight uses it; there must be a specific hammer technique involved...

At the same time, Levi noticed that the Black Mountain Duke was beginning to show signs of fatigue.

This is the price of not having Extraordinary Endurance; he had just exhausted too much of his energy.

As for Levi, he could fight another hundred rounds without any problem.

He wrapped his hands in Black Qi, Black Qi transformed into sharp blades, and used his speed advantage to continuously slash the Black Mountain Duke with insignificant wounds.

At the same time, for the first time without a weapon, Levi used the advanced Ripple Power of the Golden Cross Slash! The supreme Ripple Power surged into Levi's arm and then appeared in Levi's palms!

The Black Qi in his hands trembled and shook, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

"Break!"

Levi struck out with his palm, exchanging blows with the Black Mountain Duke! Crack.

Levi then heard what sounded like a slight cracking sound coming from the Black Mountain Duke's body.

The Black Mountain Duke cried out in pain and quickly moved away from Levi.

"What domineering power!" said the Black Mountain Duke.

Levi persisted relentlessly, continuing his attack.

As expected, it is entirely feasible to release the Golden Cross Slash directly with bare hands.

Moreover, the power released in this way is even greater.

"From now on, the Golden Cross Slash can be renamed the Golden Ripple Divine Palm."

Levi continued to fight the Black Mountain Duke using his newly created Ripple Palm technique, and gradually, the Black Mountain Duke's decline became more and more obvious.

In contrast, Levi is becoming more and more energetic.

The Black Mountain Duke was shocked. He couldn't believe that he, invincible as he was, was no match for the mere Levi! "This is the power of extraordinary bloodlines! I must have you! To achieve transcendence, as long as I can truly transcend and master witchcraft! What are royal ambitions and conquests? They're nothing but a matter of a single hand. Even the Church, I fear not!" The Black Mountain Duke seemed to have gone mad.

He grew increasingly eager to uncover the secrets of Levi.

He firmly believed that it was the extraordinary bloodline of the Four Great Families that gave Levi such great strength.

Levi gazed at the Black Mountain Duke, who had gone mad, and silently mourned.

Still want to fight the Church?

Keep dreaming.

None of the Four Great Families dared to fight against the Church.

The Black Mountain Duke was still too arrogant.

These mundane things are merely manifestations of the Church's power.

What is truly terrifying about the Church is that they are the agents of the gods.

They must possess some trump cards that might involve "divine power," otherwise why would those Legendary Knight or Legendary Realm families fear the Church and be destroyed?

Therefore, Levi was always very careful whenever he used wizarding powers, and he always chose to do so in secluded places, for fear that the Church would find out and use him as a threat to get rid of him.

The Black Mountain Duke disregarded everything else; he had only recently mastered the Black Mountain Breathing Technique to its limit and could not yet fully control its power.

Each time he transforms into a 2.8-meter-tall demon form, he loses some of his sanity, and the longer this continues, the harder it is for him to return to his original state.

This battle with Levi has already lasted long enough.

In the end, the Black Mountain Duke was covered in wounds, as was Levi.

However, unlike Levi, who possessed the Frost Giant Armor and Black Scale Defense, he only suffered minor injuries.

In contrast, the Black Mountain Duke was shattered and his bones broken by Levi's Golden Ripple Palm.

If it weren't for his high cultivation level, the Black Qi protecting his body, and his powerful physique...

Under Levi's numerous Golden Ripple Divine Palm, he was pulverized and scattered into countless fragments of flesh and blood.

Levi was panting; even with his Extraordinary Endurance, he was starting to feel out of breath after such a long battle.

The Black Mountain Duke, though completely exhausted, still managed to muster his last bit of strength to attack Levi.

Levi finally struck the Black Mountain Duke in the chest with his palm.

It shattered his heart, and the black whale that lurked within it.

"Phew, finally dead. That was really tough."

Only after confirming that the Black Mountain Duke had completely passed away did Levi begin to breathe heavily and rest.

At the same time, he sent Tuta out to collect the soul of the Black Mountain Duke.

Tuta was numb; he'd been eating the Great Knight's soul so much these past few days that he'd vomited and was stuffed.

The Black Mountain Duke is too strong. As Peak Great Knight, the Black Mountain Duke is almost on par with the Empire's Fist.

For so many years, he has kept his strength hidden.

This led everyone to believe that he was just an ordinary Peak Great Knight.

After resting, Levi summoned the Demon Shark, Demon Mountain, and Demon Sea, which were still barely usable. The Demon Shadow, however, was cut in half by the Black Mountain and was no longer usable.

Although Demon Shark and his gang were missing limbs, they could still manage to do manual labor.

He ordered the Demon Family Three Brothers to retrieve the Demon Shadow's corpse, which he then destroyed using the Flame Stream Seal.

After cleaning up the battlefield, they fled the area with the body of the Black Mountain Duke.

Next, I need to find a safe place to learn Meditation Technique.

On the main battlefield, the soldiers waited in vain for the Black Mountain Duke, who had gone to pursue the enemy, and began to panic.

Levi and his companions ran too fast; these mortals simply couldn't catch up.

The two Great Knight were also tied down by the Bloody Earl and were unable to come to their rescue.

Coupled with the Royal Family and noble coalition forces that seized the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, the Black Mountain Army was immediately put on the defensive.

Because their commander-in-chief, at a crucial moment, went to hunt down an enemy who had suddenly barged into the battlefield.

The scariest thing is that they still haven't come back.

With the Bloody Earl turning against them, the second-in-command of the Black Mountain Army, Earl Morton, the eldest son of the Black Mountain Duke, had no choice but to temporarily withdraw his troops. The Northern Allied Forces was chased far away by the Royal Family and the Southern Allied Army.

Inside the tent, a young nobleman who looked similar to the Black Mountain Duke and whose strength was at the level of an ordinary Great Knight was raging.

He was Earl Morton, the eldest son of the Black Mountain Duke.

"Who can tell me? What happened to my father? Haven't they found him yet?" Earl Morton demanded, and his generals dared not meet his gaze.

"My lord, it's all the fault of the Bloody Earl. It was he who led the enemy into our army. Perhaps he knows clues about the enemy and also knows the whereabouts of the Black Mountain Duke," a Great Knight beside the Black Mountain Duke suddenly said.

"Where is the Bloody Earl? Bring him here!"

"That's what Earl Morton said."

"The Bloody Earl has been captured by us. I'll go and bring him here right now." After saying this, a general immediately went to find the Bloody Earl.

After a full quarter of an hour, the general, pale as a ghost, said tremblingly, "My lord, the Bloody Earl... has also disappeared."

"What? Wasn't he captured? So many people couldn't keep an eye on the Bloody Earl? A bunch of useless trash!" Earl Morton roared hysterically! "The squad guarding the Bloody Earl was wiped out. Someone poisoned him..." the general said, trembling.

Who on earth has such audacity?

How dare they go against the Black Mountain Duke! "It must be a conspiracy by those damned southern nobles!"

"They somehow managed to hire a master."

Countess Silver Gauze Earl was also in a state of panic.

If the Black Mountain Duke dies, the remaining allied forces will be in a difficult situation facing the overwhelming Royal Family and the Southern Allied Army.

He himself had rebelled with the Black Mountain Duke, betraying many southern nobles with whom he had previously had good relations.

Now that the rebel leader has disappeared, if I am captured in the future, I will definitely suffer the consequences.

He had already prepared to flee. Once this great battle was completely lost, he would have to run away; he could no longer stay in the Emerald Kingdom.

With his family's wealth and resources, he could go to the Tuva Empire and live in seclusion.

Tuva Empire is a good choice. The newly established Tuva Empire needs the support of a powerful foreign nobleman like myself.

While the Black Mountain Allied Army was banging on the table and getting angry.

The Royal Family and the allied forces of the southern nobles, who had decisively defeated the enemy, also retreated back to the royal city under the leadership of the Seven Divine Swords of the King.

They didn't dare to press their advantage, mainly because the whole thing was too strange and suspicious. They worried that it was a conspiracy by the cunning Black Mountain Duke to lure them into a trap and wipe them all out.

The southern nobles and Royal Family were also bewildered. For no apparent reason, a high-ranking noble suddenly rebelled in the Black Mountain Duke's camp.

Then the Black Mountain Allied Army fell into disarray, giving them an opportunity to exploit.

"I heard the Black Mountain Duke has gone missing?" the young king suddenly asked. This was new intelligence brought to him by his subordinates, and it was quite unbelievable.

"That's right. A mysterious powerful figure turned the Bloody Earl against his cause, broke into the Black Mountain Duke's army, and fought with the Black Mountain Duke. In the end, the Black Mountain Duke went to hunt down that person and never returned," said the Nation Protecting Divine Sword.

"Where did this mysterious powerful figure come from? Why are they helping us? Can you find out who this person is?"

The young king was puzzled.

"The situation hasn't been clarified yet. That powerful figure appeared too suddenly. He's very strong, on par with the Black Mountain Duke, and at least Peak Great Knight," said the Nation Protecting Divine Sword.

"Heaven is on my side!" The young king was overjoyed.

"It must be a divine warrior sent down by the Heavenly Father to help us clear out the rebels. This is the beginning of our full-scale counterattack!"

"Send the order to assemble all the troops and annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop!"

On the wilderness.

In a mountain forest.

Levi was Black Mountain Duke.

He searched around and found nothing he wanted except some parchment with battle maps drawn on it.

However, this was within Levi's expectations, since the Black Mountain Duke would be busy most of the time strategizing and commanding the war, so he probably wouldn't be carrying anything else with him.

"What a pity."

"But it's not a complete loss, since I also got quite a bit of Evil Spirit Dust."

"There are two more gold boxes..."

"So, the golden box can seal away Evil Spirit. How come I never thought of that?"

Levi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

On the other side, the Bloody Earl had already been turned into Living Dead by Levi.

The Black Mountain Duke is dead, and the great revenge has been achieved.

This Bloody Earl has no purpose anymore.

Fortunately, one of our Living Dead has been lost, which can be replaced by the Bloody Earl.

Levi made the Bloody Earl the second Demon Shadow, replacing the Pale Shadow.

He looked at Demon Shark and the others with heartache. Demon Shark had become a one-armed hero, Demon Mountain had become a crippled man, and Demon Sea's leg was also limping because it had been completely shattered and could not be repaired.

In this respect, the Living Dead are far inferior to the Blue Frost Undead.

The Living Dead lack self-healing abilities and wear down too quickly.

Levi couldn't find a solution for the time being, so he could only try changing the ingredients more often in the future.

As for the Black Mountain Duke's body, it has been destroyed.

Levi's Golden Ripple Divine Palm shattered all the bones in his body, turning his entire corpse into a puddle of mud. Even with the Undead Core, it was impossible to make the corpse stand up.

This battle allowed Levi to fully develop the strongest techniques for using Ripple Power.

That means you can activate it directly with your palm, without the need for weapons.

This force is more direct and more ferocious! Moreover, with the power of the Ninth-Order Black Serpent, its own palm can completely withstand the counter-damage effect of the Ripple Power.

"There's another point. It seems my Gaseous Black Scale are too obvious. Whether it's the Bloody Earl or the Black Mountain Duke, they can immediately recognize my identity upon seeing my Gaseous Black Scale. So, I should use my Gaseous Black Scale sparingly in the future, and anyone who has seen them must die!"

Levi summarized the lessons learned from this battle and warned himself to be careful and cautious.

Finally, he called out Tutan, who was full.

"Here you go, the Meditation Technique."
