A Thousand Paths, Ten Thousand Kinds of Transcendence!

Peacock Kingdom.

Flower City.

Black Snake Castle.

The aged "Baron Reed" Andrew sat alone on the castle rooftop, enjoying the night breeze and gazing blankly at the full moon hanging high in the deep night sky.

"I'm getting old..." he suddenly said.

It wasn't to pretend to be old; Andrew was genuinely old and nearing the end of his life.

Blood Clan are Long-Lived Species with long lifespans. The Original Blood Clan can achieve a kind of indirect immortality by sleeping in a hibernation chamber similar to those in science fiction works.

Although this kind of immortality is mostly spent in unconscious sleep, it is meaningless.

However, Andrew is only Second-Generation Secondary Blood Clan, not First-Generation Secondary Blood Clan like the Blood Knight.

He practiced the Blood Beast Breathing Technique, but he was stuck at the Legendary Realm and couldn't break through. Bloodline is one aspect of talent, but it's not the whole story.

Andrew now feels as if he is about to die. His body is aging, and even his soul is aging, which is the most terrifying thing.

"Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well take that damned Misel with us before we die." Andrew's face hardened, and he stood up, revealing his aged Blood Clan.

From the year 1017 of the Holy Radiance Calendar to the present year 1111, he has stayed in the Flower City for his master for nearly a century.

Over the past century, he has played many roles and witnessed many changes in the world.

He felt that the last hundred years of his life had been quite worthwhile.

Compared to the Original Blood Clan who hide in the darkness, he, a despised "inferior race," exists on the edge between humans and Blood Clan. He wants to integrate into the Blood Clan but is considered an inferior group; he wants to integrate into the human race but can never go back.

The Andrew wanted to deal with, Misel, was an elusive Original Blood Clan who had been hunted by the Knight of the Twilight Temple many times before, but he had always managed to escape.

Over the years, he has frequently spread the cult doctrines of the Moon God Cult in the Flower City, causing some bloodshed. Andrew and he have been secretly outwitting each other and have already discovered Misel's main hiding place.

The Moon God Cult has gathered many believers across the Seven Kingdoms Continent, and behind this lies the shadow of the Sabbat Alliance.

The two main families of the Sabbat Alliance, the Lessenba Family, were completely wiped out by their master in the early stages of the Demon Tide's resurgence.

Another large family, the Spiny Secret Demon Family, has always remained at large.

After so many years of development and expansion, the Spiny Secret Demon Family has either killed or subdued all the Blood Clan of the Hidden Alliance.

Today, the Blood Clan forces in the Mortal World have completed a major consolidation. They have awakened the powerful Original Blood Clan sleeping in the deep mountains or ancient castles, and created more Secondary Blood Clan to strengthen their own power.

The Moon God Cult wields considerable influence among the four giants of the Dark Alliance.

The so-called Big Four are the Moon God Cult, the Werewolf Brotherhood, the Death Society, and the Ghoul Cottage.

The Ghoul Cottage operates with extreme secrecy, relentlessly spreading the plague and accumulating power, leaving the Church helpless.

The Blue Frost Undead forces behind the Death Society are based in the Northern Territory and the Far North. At the slightest sign of trouble, they retreat to the perilous Blue Frost Plane. Because of the Blue Frost Plane's eerie corrosive power, most Knight, rangers, and even the Church saints are unwilling to step into it.

The Werewolf Brotherhood needs no introduction; compared to the Blood Clan, they are much easier to disguise themselves among Mortal World and are now thriving.

Besides the four major dark forces, established organizations such as the Silent Monastery, the God of War Temple, the Voice of the Deathbird, and the Brotherhood of the Wilds are also developing their own paths.

The Voice of the Deathbird is said to have produced a powerful ace assassin, [Shadow Hand Wood], a fanatical follower of the Shadow Lord. Rumor has it that he has obtained divine power and his strength has surpassed that of the organization's founder, [Thousand-Faced Knight]. He once escaped from an attack by a saint and left a great name in the underworld.

The secretive organization, the Silent Monastery, has also begun to reveal itself, with a group of all-female nuns known as the Silent Nuns, starting to become active on the continent.

In stark contrast to the Silent Monastery, the God of War Temple is a group of fanatical warmongers composed entirely of men, who seek to unleash a new storm of war upon the Mortal World.

The Brotherhood of the Wilds is always active when chaos first appears, like wild grass that cannot be extinguished by wildfire and will spring back to life with the spring breeze.

Therefore, even the Seven Gods Churches felt the pressure from all sorts of demons and monsters, and began to join forces and form alliances in an attempt to weather the turbulent years to come.

"But victory will surely belong to the Twilight Knight Order!" Andrew was absolutely certain of this.

Because he personally witnessed how a clandestine organization grew from small to large, to the point where it could now be compared with those established organizations.

Under the cover of darkness, Andrew, feeling the power of the full moon, quietly left the castle.

"Andrew, where are you going?" A calm voice rang in Andrew's ear.

Andrew looked up and saw a figure seemingly descending from the sky and landing in front of him on the moon.

He wore an antique-style Sun Gold Knight Armor and a scarlet cloak, his arms crossed over his chest, exuding an imposing aura.

"Master, there are insignificant enemies causing trouble in our territory... I want to go and deal with them," Andrew said.

"Why didn't you tell the Blood Knight?" Levi asked.

"They are just ordinary Original Blood Clan ... I don't want to trouble them every time, and I certainly don't want to trouble you, Master," Andrew said, bowing his head, his voice aged.

"Andrew, you're getting old," Levi suddenly said, his tone somewhat complicated.

"Master! Andrew can still fight," Andrew said quickly.

Levi sighed inwardly. In truth, the Flower City was no longer of any use to him.

But Andrew has been guarding this place for nearly a century, and protecting it day after day has become a part of his life.

Perhaps at first everything was maintained by contracts, but now, a century of protection has become a habit, as ingrained as a program.

Levi remained silent. His Nightmare Perception swept across the entire city. With his current level of power, even if the Flower City had a church, he could use his perception without any qualms.

Apart from the powerful figures at the Holy Radiance Church headquarters, the priests or bishops stationed in these churches had no way of sensing that Levi, who was like a god, had investigated them.

Not long after, Levi found the enemy Andrew had mentioned.

That was a Original Blood Clan hiding in the city, but it was only a level one peak Blood Clan. Any one of Levi's pets could easily defeat it.

He stood atop the church, sat down leisurely, and took out the "Blood Wine" from the Shining Tavern.

"Andrew, come on, have a drink and get some rest," Levi said softly.

Andrew looked nervous. He walked shakily to Levi's side, took the wine Levi handed him, and drank it down in one gulp.

After the wine was finished, a dark shadow appeared behind Levi in the darkness.

Then the black shadow merged into Levi's body, which was the [Mixed Poison True Body].

A Original Blood Clan bound by ropes formed from Venomous Swarm creatures appeared before Levi.

This is the Original Blood Clan that Andrew intends to take down with him, Misel Spiny Secret Demon.

He once held Dark Fairy Tale Tea Party in the suburbs, inviting a group of dark creatures to a silver party.

He had already fled before the Blood Knight and Black Knight swept through the area.

Now, he has fallen into the hands of the Twilight Knight Order' leader.

With a thought, Levi unleashed a Nightmare even deeper than the darkest night.

Misel's face was filled with fear. He struggled on the ground, his face closed, already asleep.

Levi discovered that the power of Nightmare seemed to be able to trap enemies in an illusion.

Those whose mental strength was far inferior to his were especially vulnerable and fell for the attack immediately.

He also understood why the Human-Faced Spider could toy with him.

Then, Levi pointed to Misel's forehead and used the ultimate [Silently Entering Dreams with the Wind] spell to search Misel's subconscious.

Ultimately, he found some useful fragments of memory.

By piecing these fragments of memory together, he obtained a great deal of information about the Moon God Cult that was previously unknown to others.

"This can be considered a disguised form of soul-searching technique..."

Andrew watched his master's unpredictable abilities quietly. He was not surprised, because this was only the tip of the iceberg of his master's true strength.

"The Moon God Cult is currently headquartered in an underground cave complex within the Star Empire, where a Level 4 Original Blood Clan is suspected to be stationed... My Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique is also Blood Clan Secret Medicine. Since this organization is so unconventional, I might as well test my current strength."

According to Levi's analysis, the most suitable Secret Medicine for the Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique should be the negative energy of Dragonkind bloodline, but unfortunately, this thing simply does not exist in the Wizard World or the Ancient Saint Plane.

He had been cultivating using the bloodline of Skein, a peak level two Blood Clan, and who knew when Skein advance to level three. So, impatient, he planned to find a Blood Clan of a higher level to form a contract with.

He came to find Andrew to inquire about the current high-level Blood Clan in the Mortal World.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Misel causing trouble in the Flower City, so there was no need to ask Andrew anymore.

The wine is finished.

Misel also died in the Nightmare, and a blood-red light surged out.

Levi stretched out his fiery hand, attempting to grab it.

The light pierced through it and disappeared into the horizon, as if merging into the full moon.

Levi gazed at the blood-red moon, his heart at peace.

"Compared to the Blood River Will, I am still just an ant... This True Spirit, if it wants to take it away, I can do nothing about it."

"Andrew, let's go. I'll take you to see those noble Original Blood Clan. Don't worry, if I could, I wouldn't let you die so easily."

After Levi finished speaking, he leaped into the sky, with Andrew following closely behind.

Star Empire.

This kingdom is located on a vast plateau on the continent, the closest place to the stars, and its capital is Nebula City.

Thousands of miles away from Nebula City, a small town lies silent in the darkness of night.

In the Church of the small town, the corpses of priests lay everywhere.

An elegant middle-aged nobleman is bathed in blood. Behind him, on the dome of the church, on the statues, are blood-red monsters of various shapes and ugly faces.

They stand silently in the church, like monsters in religious murals.

"Let's begin. Convert more blood servants. Before the Star Apostle arrive, let's act quickly," the middle-aged nobleman said.

His name is Klaire, a noble level three Blood Clan and one of the Blood God Protector of the Moon God Cult.

"Yes, sir." One by one, the Blood Clan hidden in the darkness began to move.

They are active throughout the city, setting up eerie blood-red magic arrays, and carrying strange and unusual blood weapons.

Klaire, meanwhile, sat atop the church, keeping watch for her men in preparation for a potential surprise attack from the Church of the Stars.

"The real show will begin once Blood River and Nora are fully connected. Until then, let's build a massive army of blood servants for Lord Blood God in Nora..."

The number of the Original Blood Clan is not large, so if the Moon God Cult wants to compete with the Church, it must create more Blood Clan servants.

Most Original Blood Clan can only create one Secondary Blood Clan. Although Secondary Blood Clan can continue to be created, the final number of the Secondary Blood Clan that can be born is not large.

To possess a true army of the Blood Clan, one must find another way.

Fortunately, the bishop of the Moon God Cult, a level four Blood Clan who had been sleeping in the Mortal World for a long time, received the decree of the Blood God and awoke.

They also obtained a Blood Clan magic array called the "Blood Soil Reincarnation Array".

Using a city as a sacrificial site to activate the Blood Soil Reincarnation Array, there is a chance that so-called "Blood Servants" will be born among mortals.

Blood servants are not as strong as Secondary Blood Clan, but they are at the level of ordinary human Knight, and some of the powerful ones are even at the level of Great Knight.

Blood Servants are strong in number; they are cannon fodder, just like the Scourge.

Don't underestimate these cannon fodder; they are indispensable for any force that wants to conquer a territory.

This small town is far from the Church headquarters, and they carried out this operation in great secrecy. By the time the other side found out, the ceremony here had already been completed.

In the small town, as the Blood Soil Reincarnation Array was set up, blood mist filled the air, and the earth began to turn dark red. The pitch-black sky also turned dark red.

"Blood and soil of the Mortal World..."

Klaire opened her arms and embraced this bloody, crimson world.

Suddenly, a sharp and domineering sword light tore through the night, dispelling the blood mist.

Boom! Klaire was cleaved in two by the sword light, his blood splattering on the spot.

The church beneath him crumbled and collapsed with a deafening roar.

The earth trembled, and dust flew everywhere.

Klaire's two halves of her body rose from the dust.

His intestines and internal organs were spilling out all over the floor.

Blood gushed from the wound, but before long, Klaire's body was completely healed.

His face was pale, and he stared solemnly into the void ahead.

A man clad in golden armor and wielding a crimson greatsword stood in mid-air, accompanied by an elderly Secondary Blood Clan.

"You...you actually dared to attack a noble Original Blood Clan? You..." Klaire hadn't finished speaking.

With another sword strike, it cleaved him in two.

He fell to the ground and stood up again like a paper doll, coming back together.

"This self-healing ability is really impressive," Levi remarked softly.

"Foolish man, Blood Clan are immortal and invincible!"

Klaire no longer cared who it was.

"Blood Fang True Body!"

He roared, and his body began to swell, with sharp spikes like shark teeth growing from his skin.

Before long, Klaire transformed into a terrifying behemoth covered in ferocious blood spikes, standing ten meters tall, and still moving with ghostly speed.

Bang.

The next moment.

Klaire collided with a pitch-black demon.

Klaire retreated rapidly, and the demon exploded, turning into countless black Poison Mist.

"Defeat it first," Levi said calmly.

"You're not from the Church? Who are you? To be an enemy of the Blood Clan is to court death," Klaire said.

He was repeatedly defeated by Levi's Mixed Poison True Body's offensive.

His Blood Clan power was incredibly strong, but his Mixed Poison True Body was no less powerful. He Undying and Indestructible, and so was his Mixed Poison True Body.

Levi found this thing to be very useful.

"It's a pity that the peak of the Third Ring is already the limit of this Mixed Poison True Body..." Levi sighed inwardly.

Meanwhile, the two colossal flying beasts, the Crimson Nether Sparrow and the Wind Thunder Winged Dragon, used flames and Thunder to send those low-level Original Blood Clan back to the Blood River.

The humiliated Klaire was completely suppressed by the Mixed Poison True Body. The powerful Blood Clan true form's attacks on the demon were always hitting thin air, and the Blood Clan's blood magic was basically useless against the demon.

Levi used the Scarlet Contract to subdue Klaire, Klaire prostrated herself before Levi.

"How can this formation be stopped?" Levi asked.

"Master, the Blood Soil Reincarnation Array has already begun operating and cannot be stopped. From now on, the mortals of this city will either die in the Blood Soil or be reincarnated in the Blood Soil as low-level Blood Servants," Klaire said.

Levi frowned, looked at the mortals struggling in the blood mist, and silently turned and left.

He originally intended to go to the Blood Clan's stronghold, but he encountered a level three Blood Clan on the way. He changed his plans on the spot, since a level three Blood Clan was enough. The Blood Clan's stronghold was still somewhat risky.

As for these mortals, he was powerless to help them.

This world is so cruel.

Early morning.

The sun Dawnbreaker.

But this small town was still shrouded in blood mist, never seeing the light of day.

Several figures broke through the air and descended upon this place.

Leading the group was Estella, a young girl dressed in Starry Gauze Dress.

Every move she made exuded a mysterious and unpredictable aura, captivating the heart.

She frowned, gazing at the scene that resembled a Mortal World hell.

Everything in the city turned to blood-red soil in the blood mist.

A blood-red monster with exposed veins roared in pain.

She witnessed a little girl crying and then suddenly collapsing, swallowed by blood and soil. When she reappeared, she was a hideous and terrifying blood monster in the shape of a young child.

"Blood Clan!"

Estella was gloomy inside.

She underestimated the extent of the Blood Clan ' arrogance.

The Star Apostle next to Estella whispered, "My Lord, it seems that others have been here before."

"I can tell."

Estella gazed at the church and the earth torn apart by the sword energy.

This power is not much less than that of the saints of the Church, though of course, it cannot be considered as great as that of Gulado.

Among the saints, there are also those who use swords as weapons, such as "Dragon".

However, the sword energy unleashed by saints usually carries a hint of divine aura, due to the unique characteristics brought about by their divine agent attributes.

However, the sword energy that caused ravines to appear in the earth did not possess this kind of aura.

This sword energy is incredibly domineering; it's unimaginable that such a thing exists in the Mortal World.

"Could it be... it's him?" Estella suddenly remembered the strange man she hadn't seen in a long time.

Estella immediately guessed the general idea.

Judging from his behavior, he seems to have a grudge against the Blood Clan. The last time I saw him, he was also hunting Blood Clan.

It seems that he might have been the one to take action this time, eliminating these Blood Clan.

In this world, there are often chivalrous Knight and rangers who uphold justice and slay demons, but they usually only deal with minor troubles. Someone like that strange man, who could split the earth with a single sword strike, is a rare breed indeed, like Estella.

The next day.

Atop a mountain range in the Empire of All Dragons.

Two figures stood proudly on the cliff.

One was as beautiful as a fairy, with a graceful figure; the other had a firm gaze and was healthy and well-proportioned.

"I didn't expect the Blood Clan to be so rampant. It's time to launch a counterattack," the dragon said.

"Yes, this can be considered our first operation since the alliance was formed. It was a pleasure working together," Estella said.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you," Long said with a smile, confident and composed.

"I Mortal World knew a human whose strength was probably no less than yours or mine. He was suspected to be Knight and possessed powerful and extraordinary sword skills."

"However, he might also be a dragon descendant. I sensed a similar aura from him to yours; he's also hunting Blood Clan. If possible, you could come with me to meet him sometime, offer him some benefits, and try to recruit him to our side to better cope with this turbulent year," Estella said.

"Oh? A human being, and you actually value him so much? In the multiverse beneath the Astral Realm, there are indeed some Dragonkind and humans who have left behind bloodlines... If he is a dragon descendant, it's not impossible for him to give birth to a powerful swordsman." The dragon's tone held a hint of pride as he said this.

As the King of All Dragons, he was once a pure-blooded Dragonkind and one of the best among them, although there were conflicts and contradictions among the Dragonkind themselves.

But in front of outsiders, he still takes pride in being Dragonkind.

"Okay, we'll go see him in a few days. We'll teach those Blood Clan a lesson first. My Empire of All Dragons has been frequently harassed lately. These unkillable little bugs are indeed troublesome..."

"Blood River is getting stronger and stronger. Even though He hasn't become a god, His strength is almost on par with it." Estella's face showed a hint of worry.

"Of course, this is a descendant of that being from the Underworld. He was born with partial control over the divine authority of death and reincarnation, and he has even independently comprehended the absolute divine authority of blood..." the dragon said, without much fear.

There are also differences between gods. For example, the Seven True Gods of Nora, such as the King of All Dragons, are certainly not Nameless figures in the Astral Realm.

"On another note, at the end of ancient times, some people worried that the rise of wizards would endanger their fundamental divine authority, and feared that Legendary Wizard would steal the power of the gods, so they launched the War of the Gods."

In the end, they suffered a great loss because of Sauron... It was also because of Sauron that those guys realized that wizards didn't care about those "divine powers" at all.

To gain divine power, one must condense Divine Spark in the Astral Realm. Success and failure both depend on the Astral Realm Astral Realm; it is Astral Realm the cradle and the shackles of the gods.

"It's ridiculous. Some guys in the Astral Realm are racking their brains trying to get out, while those outside are desperate to get in... Judging from the Blood River's attitude, He wants to be deified in this era. This upheaval will inevitably drag some old things from the Astral Realm down, falling to the mortal realm. At best, they'll lose their Divine Spark and become saints; at worst... they'll perish."

"Dragon said with some emotion."

"Haha, so Sauron said: The Astral Realm is a walled city." Estella smiled.

"Indeed, Sauron's description is extremely apt. He truly deserves to be called a wizard and a cultured man..." Dragon rarely joked.

"It's too late to say anything now. Once you've chosen a path, just stick to it to the end... whether it's the path of divine authority and faith, the path of truth and knowledge, or any other path..."

The myriad paths and extraordinary abilities across multiple dimensions are too numerous for anyone to attempt. People have different understandings of these paths. Some believe that the path to immortality is the true path, so the gods took the shortcut of the Astral Realm, at the cost of being trapped Astral Realm and unable to transcend it.

Some pursue truths that can never be reached, and thus the community of wizards arose. Their journey, however, has been incredibly arduous, hampered by their short lifespans, lamenting the vastness of knowledge, the distance of truth, and the insignificance of life... In the Wu Yin universe, all living beings are striving to cross the threshold of existence.

Seven days later.

The two saints, Dragon and Estella, led their respective Dragon King Apostle and Star Apostle, along with the Church's Knight, to destroy numerous Blood Clan strongholds. They eventually located the Blood Clan's main camp.

The massive the Church army stormed in, killing most of the Blood Clan in the main camp. Hundreds of the Original Blood Clan were wiped out, and their True Spirit returned to the Blood River to rebuild themselves in the city.

Unfortunately, the bishop of the Moon God Cult, a level four Blood Clan, escaped the Church's blockade by relying on blood artifacts, blood arrays, and the desperate resistance of his protectors, and his whereabouts remain unknown.

Anyway.

The main force of the Moon God Cult was completely wiped out.

It will probably take until the Demon Tide recovers further to recover.

This news shocked the world.

The Church had been suffering setbacks, and for a time, rumors circulated that the Church was failing and in dire straits.

Now, with a Thunder move, the other three members of the Four Dark Giants, as well as other secret organizations, have begun to reduce their frequency of appearances.

Looking at it now, your grandpa is still your grandpa.

The Church's power is still not easily shaken.

Flower City.

Levi, who was playing chess with the elderly Andrew, learned of this news.

"I was worried that the Blood Clan would retaliate against me, but now it seems they are too busy to help themselves and probably won't come after me."

Levi muttered to himself.

This day.

Skein, Klaire, and Levi, the two Blood Clan bound by their pact, stood before Levi.

"I currently hold three positions under the Scarlet Contract. The position of Baron Baghdad of the Sea Race is unmovable. I also need the Sea Race to collect resources and transmit intelligence for me in the Wizard World. This is also a trump card if I need to contact the Sea Race in the future."

"Skein's position can be released now. A level two Blood Clan is no longer of much use to me. I'd rather keep him to contract with more powerful supernatural beings... like that damned fire elemental."

With a thought from Levi, the Scarlet Dragon mark within Skein's body began to emerge, transforming into a blood mist that vanished without a trace.

Without the Scarlet Contract, Skein initially bewildered, then looked at Levi with a menacing expression.

The next moment, Skein had rushed over, was pinned to the ground by Klaire and became Klaire's blood slave.

In this way, Skein is essentially still Levi's servant, a perfect transition.

"It's a pity that these Blood Clan can't be bound by the Oath Sword, because the Oath Sword is a contract made by taking advantage of the oath-taker's fear of death. These Blood Clan are not afraid of death at all. In their minds, they will be reborn in the Blood River after they die... Only the Scarlet Contract, which is so domineering that even the thought of suicide cannot be born in the servants, can work."

Having resolved the contract issue, Levi asked Klaire.

"Is there a way for the Secondary Blood Clan to extend their lifespan? Or rather, a way to completely become Original Blood Clan?"

Klaire shook her head. "No... Original Blood Clan are children of the Blood River. They are either the offspring of two Original Blood Clan or born in the Blood River. There is no other way."

Levi sighed as he looked at Andrew.

Andrew remained remarkably calm in the face of his impending death.

"Master, there's no need to force me. Mortal World you could find could guard this territory better than me. I've lived for hundreds of years, and to be honest, I'm getting a little tired of it. If you're willing to let me go, I won't have any complaints," Andrew said.

"If you've come to terms with it, then I respect your choice," Levi said calmly.

Even he couldn't make Andrew live a few more years.

These days, he tried transplanting the original bloodline of the Original Blood Clan into Andrew, but there was no improvement.

It wasn't that Levi's transplant failed, but rather that the most crucial element of the Original Blood Clan —the [authority] related to the mysteries of Long-Lived Species —could not be obtained through a crude transplant.

He had always wondered why, despite taking so many Blood Clan Secret Medicine and practicing the Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique Breathing Technique Fusion of the Blood Beast Breathing Technique, he had never been able to obtain special effects similar to those of the Long-Lived Species.

These past few days, after interacting with Kraul, a mid-level Blood Clan he knew better, he had gained some insight.

On the path of the Blood Clan, the Blood River at the end of that path firmly holds certain key authority in its own hands.

"Perhaps, this is the power of God?"

This [permission] can only be partially transferred to others through methods approved by that person, such as changing the form of the Secondary Blood Clan.

Levi's simple and crude transplantation method is ineffective.

If Levi wanted to try more things, he could search for more Long-Lived Species bloodlines and transplant them into Andrew.

However, he felt that the outcome might not be good. First of all, bloodline transplantation itself has many requirements and risks, especially for someone like Andrew who already has the bloodline, the probability of conflict is particularly high.

Secondly, if one could obtain the lifespan of Long-Lived Species through transplantation, then the Wizard World would already be full of half -Blood Clan, half-elfs, and half-dragons.

Since Andrew himself wanted to rest, Levi stopped bothering him.

Time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye.

A year has passed.

The year 1112 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of the Furnace.

The Flower City was sweltering.

That year, Levi stayed in the Flower City, as if undergoing spiritual refinement in the mortal world, returning to his former life as a minor lord.

He felt the impact of the resurgence of the Demon Tide on mortals. These poor people lived day after day in the lies of the Holy Radiance Church Holy Radiance Church, which attributed the appearance of those dark creatures and the suffering of mortals to their own lack of piety and effort...

It wasn't just ordinary people; even the clergy of the Holy Radiance Church were filled with fear. These people were afraid that their power, status, wealth, and privilege would be affected in this upheaval of a new era.

Levi watched all this with a cold eye. He could only do his best to ensure that the residents of his territory were not attacked by dark creatures and that they could at least have enough to eat.

He didn't bother to expose all the Church's lies; it would have been a futile effort.

Even if the Holy Radiance Church is completely eradicated, without the Church, there will still be various other rulers oppressing ordinary people and deceiving the world with another kind of lie.

Weakness is the greatest original sin.

The tenth Twilight Knight Order Round Table Conference was successfully held this past year.

Mu Di continued to fight alongside the Goddess Knight in the Realm of Frost, achieving great feats and bravely battling enemies. In these battles, Mu Di's strength grew continuously, and he even created hundreds of different "moves"...

Levi couldn't compliment the naming skills of names like "Holy Ape Fist," "Dragon Collision," and "Flying Eagle Skims the Sea."

In Levi's view, these moves are essentially just subtle differences in the application of blood and qi.

However, it seems that Mu Di wants to give all his basic attacks names, so that others will think they are all ultimate moves.

Levi's Sky Dragon Breathing Technique also advanced to the Fourteenth Order in that year.

The special effect of the [Pillar of the Sky Dragon] has been upgraded to Second Order, further enhancing its stamina.

In this way...

Of all the Breathing Technique Levi currently possesses— Golden Snake, Scarlet Dragon, Red Emperor Dragon, and Sky Dragon —representing the four dimensions of defense, speed, strength, and endurance, all have reached the Fourteenth Order, which is the Blood Source Second Transformation Realm.

The Death Ash Breathing Technique, representing physical constitution, is at the thirteenth rank. With Blood Source Transformation, it will still be Nightmare Dragon of the perception type, currently at the twelfth rank.

In addition to these Breathing Technique, he also practiced all the excellent and Legendary Realm Breathing Technique he had, including the Peacock Breathing Technique obtained from the Divine Light Knight, the Golden Lion Breathing Technique obtained from the Golden Lion Knight, and the Aurora Breathing Technique projected by the Goddess Knight.

The Golden Lion is a power-type Breathing Technique, primarily used for breaking limits. The Peacock and the Aurora Bird, on the other hand, represent physical strength and speed, respectively.

"The Red Emperor Dragon is already relatively perfect. After all, it has previously fused with four Breathing Technique Beyond Legendary, such as the Crimson Red Lotus and the Kui Beast. In comparison, the Golden Snake, Death Ash, Scarlet Dragon, and Sky Dragon still need to be further improved, otherwise they always feel that they are not on the same level as the Red Emperor Dragon."

These are Levi's insights over the years.

As for the Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique, there are no more perception-based Breathing Technique in this world.

Therefore, Levi no longer has the materials to continue integrating the perception dimension.

In the future, he may need to rely on his own strength to promote the sensory Breathing Technique.

In a way, Levi had a feeling that the opportunity to advance his Breathing Technique further lay in the Nightmare World that he feared so much.

One day, he will have to be prepared to step into that world, to face the Human-Faced Spider, and to face the Nightmare!

On this day, Levi was on his way to repair the vehicle.

Inside the castle, Andrew closed his eyes, his expression serene.

"Rest in peace, Andrew."

Levi personally buried Andrew, placed Skein here, and then left the Flower City.

I'll correct any typos later. Today's chapters total 9,000 words, with an extra 3,000 words added. I still owe 5,000 words.
