Perfection!

Inside Alice's Ring.

Gustav, who had already advanced to the Third Ring, was extremely smug.

It roared to the sky, its sound waves sweeping across the land.

The Wind Thunder Winged Dragon and the Crimson Nether Sparrow circled in the sky, watching with great force.

Both of them were already at the Third Ring, and were pets that Levi frequently used in battle.

The emergence of Gustav, a newcomer to the Third Ring, has made them feel a sense of workplace crisis.

Especially the Wind Thunder Winged Dragon, he has been with Levi for decades, but he has always been at the peak of the Third Ring and could not make any progress.

Although Levi frequently extracted their Bloodline Essence, his diet was always plentiful. He also often concocted special medicines for extraordinary creatures to promote growth and replenish their blood essence. Levi always believed that the reason these guys couldn't advance was not because of his exploitation and ruthlessness, but because they weren't working hard enough!

If you want a little sweetness in life, how can you slack off! "See that? Gustav is already at the Third Ring. This is the kind of pet the master needs most. You guys had better learn from Gustav..." Levi said.

Gustav came to Levi's side.

"Master, after advancing to the Third Ring, I seem to have awakened some inherited memories. I need some time to digest them."

Its voice echoed in Levi's mind.

"No problem. Before you digest, let me draw some blood for testing. This will help you grow, and I can monitor your health at all times," Levi said.

"Yes, Master."

Levi immediately took out a large vat used for storing blood, used the Red Dragon Ironcleaver to make an incision in Gustav's body, and began to draw blood.

"Master, draw more, I can still manage," Gustav said.

"No need, three cylinders are enough. You should rest now." Levi patted Gustav's head and fed it some high-quality sea monster meat.

Gustav was arguably Levi's greatest contributor to Leviathan cause.

Although Leviathan has advanced to the Second Ring, his starting Qidian is too low. Levi estimates that by the time this guy reaches the Third Ring, he will probably already be at the Fifth Ring.

So Leviathan has now been completely reduced to an artificial fountain spectacle within Alice's Ring, responsible for spraying water, while Levi only periodically grinds some powder from his horn to Potion Making.

"Speaking of which, I subdued Gustav in 1043, and now, eighty years have passed. I've gone from a newbie just entering the Second Ring road to almost entering the Fourth Ring."

Gustav, on the other hand, was already at the peak of the Second Ring when he was captured, but now, after eighty years, he's only at the Third Ring ring. It'll be very difficult for him to reach the Fourth Ring in the future, unless he encounters a great opportunity.

Among the extraordinary creatures currently in existence, Levi only has one Fourth Ring Earth-Drilling Dragon Earthworm.

The Third Ring include the Flame Blood Earth Dragon Beast, Gustav, Wind Thunder Winged Dragon, and Crimson Nether Sparrow.

There are many more in the First Ring and Second Ring, but apart from the Nightmare Crown Lizard, the others are not very useful to Levi.

However, these extraordinary creatures were all more or less Levi's benefactors, so he kept them.

Sometimes when he meets someone of the opposite sex, he will even arrange a relationship for them.

"Once my weapon crafting skill reaches the Fifth Ring, I should be able to repair the Alice's Ring on my own. At that time, the space will expand further, and it will be more suitable for their growth."

Levi's consciousness left Alice's Ring.

"My mental strength is already 190 points, just 10 points away from perfection. Then I can advance to the fourth Fourth Ring of liquefaction and get ready to start working on the Succubus skill."

If I can capture a Succubus alive, then as long as I can gather all the other materials, I can continuously refine Fourth Ring potions. That way, when I run out of money, besides going to the Black Wizard, selling breakthrough potions is also a way to make a living.

While the profits from Black Wizard are enormous, there are always risks involved. Besides, Levi has already exhausted all the Black Wizard profits in the Outer Ring Region he's familiar with.

With that in mind, Levi shut down all the formations in the Wizard Tower.

In the secret chamber, the Mind Flayer is released.

As soon as the Mind Flayer appeared, it knelt before Levi, its tentacles drooping—a sign of its submission.

"Do you have any way to get Miraya out?" Levi asked.

"Master, you want to make a move against Miraya? She definitely has Solett's tracking mark on her, and she has been kept imprisoned by Solett, basically just a tool for Solett to satisfy his desires... It will be difficult for me to get her out of there," the Mind Flayer said.

"So, to capture Miraya, we have to get past Solett?" Levi pondered.

"That's how it is at present."

Levi pondered to himself that Solett was already Fifth Ring wizard, and among the Fifth Ring wizards, he should be among the top tier.

Even if Levi killed several Fourth Ring, he wouldn't be so arrogant as to confront a strongman like Solett head-on.

Relying on Solett's formidable strength, the Thunder Dragon Family has become the overlord of the Seventh District of the Inner Ring over the years.

Solett not only possesses excellent elemental talent, but also has a second talent, [Heart of Thunder], making him a natural-born member of the Thunder Faction.

"Let's wait and see. If we can buy the breakthrough potion at the House of Witches or Nether King City, then we won't make it ourselves."

Although it's a bit of a pity, Levi can't think of a way to break the deadlock for the time being.

Today is the day of the 18th Round Table Conference. Levi started the meeting and brought in the Knight who were scattered all over the world. Blood Knight and others sat down at the Round Table.

"Blood Knight, what's the situation on the Mortal World realm? Tell me about the Twilight Temple and the God Forsaken Land," Levi asked.

"Commander, everything is normal at the Twilight Temple. However, some time ago, a [Crypt Wizard] from the God Forsaken Land attempted to invade the Temple but was annihilated by the great formation... Then, a Peak Great Knight went into seclusion recently and has the potential to break through to the Legendary Realm level."

"Crypt Wizard?" Levi asked.

"Yes, this is a saying that has spread through the Church. They call those strange people who possess magic in the God Forsaken Land ' Crypt Wizard.' It is said that these wizards live deep underground in the continents and oceans of the God Forsaken Land to avoid the corruption of dark power, so many of their organs are different from those of normal wizards," the Blood Knight explained.

"It seems that some ancient wizards were left in the God Forsaken Land for some reason and did not enter the Land of the Faithless..." Levi analyzed.

"Mu Di, how about you? Is there any news about the [Extremely Cold Land] that I asked you to inquire about?" Levi asked.

"Commander, as far as I know, in the Snow King City of the Realm of Frost, there is a frozen pool called the Eye of the Ice Emperor. The water is extremely cold; even Third-Ring Wizard's defensive field cannot remain in it for long. The Frost elemental power within is quite concentrated, so it was taken over by the Snow King City Lord, a Fifth Ring wizard, who leased it out and rented it out at high prices as a place to cultivate, making a fortune," Mu Di said.

"I see."

For Levi Wei, money is not an issue, as long as that place can help him advance to the Fourth Ring faster and more successfully.

Now, with the imminent emergence of the Dark Ancient Tower, both sides in the Black and White Wizard War have tacitly ceased large-scale warfare.

Levi has already heard the news that the teleportation channels between the various Land of the Faithless will be gradually unsealed in the future.

Some passages from the Land of the Faithless to the Mortal World have been reopened.

It's just that the Endless Sea hasn't been unsealed yet, since the Black Wizard Endless Sea are relatively powerful.

After the meeting, Levi logged off.

In the days that followed, he continued his cultivation in Nether King City, waiting for his spiritual power to be completely perfected.

Time flies, and a year has passed.

The year 1121 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

The 90th year of the Great Expedition.

In the dark void, far away from the Nora Plane.

There is a strange plane, an ordinary plane, where everything is a sphere.

However, this plane is like a huge well, with crystal walls forming the well walls.

To be precise, it should be described as a funnel-shaped well running across the Darkness Zone, extremely narrow at one end and widening as it goes down.

At the narrow end, a dark, gaping opening jutted out from the Darkness Zone, swallowing everything around it.

This is one of the most powerful and terrifying places in the multiverse.

For thousands of years, war and bloodshed, slaughter and destruction have been the main themes here.

This is the Abyss! Because of its layers upon layers, seemingly endless, it is also known as the "Bottomless Abyss".

No one knows how many layers the Abyss has, not even the demons themselves.

The wizards tentatively determined that the Abyss had 666th Floor, because Sauron had personally reached that level before finally stopping.

Demons are synonymous with destruction; they revere chaos and abhor order.

Compared to demons, Black Wizard are nothing more than a group of lawless beings.

Even the demon lords find it difficult to completely subdue the demons below them, big and small, unless they are enslaved by magic.

Things that are too powerful are often dragged down by themselves, and the Abyss is a prime example.

Because the will of the entire Abyss is in chaos, the demons are not only waging "external Blood War" by invading other planes, but they are also waging "internal Blood War" within the Abyss.

The demon lords fought each other endlessly, enjoying themselves immensely. On one hand, they relied on devouring and killing other demons to increase their power, but on the other hand, they derived pleasure from it.

To become Abyss Lord, one must at least be a Level 6 High Demon, even if one is only a Lord of the first level.

The first layer is located at the narrow opening of the funnel, with the smallest area. The area increases as you go down... and of course, the demon lord becomes stronger with each layer.

Generally speaking, after the 500th floor, the strength of the Abyss Lord begins to approach that of Great Wizard, and after the 600th floor, Abyss Lord comparable to Legendary Wizard will gradually occupy the area.

These beings, as powerful as gods, fear neither heaven nor Astral Realm, and the gaze of the Abyss.

Faith cannot be spread here, and the gods do not want to provoke the Abyss.

And now, a Sky City soars above the blood-red sky of the six hundredth level of the Abyss.

Sky City was severely damaged, yet it still stands strong.

At the top of the Wizard Tower.

The Deep Blue Sage, Luther, stood with his hands behind his back.

The wizards below looked exhausted; some were fearful, while others were excited.

Herman and Stella are no longer spherical.

Over the past thirty years, Herman has used parts he brought from the Mechanical Graveyard to transform himself into a five-meter-tall mechanical creation with a dragon-like head and wings on his back.

Stella, on the other hand, transformed into a beautiful giant snake with a slender body and a body covered with some kind of emerald green metallic armor plates, but the snake's head resembled a dragon's head more.

This new look is infinitely cooler than the previous iron ball shape.

Not only that, their strength has also improved. Some time ago, Stella directly strangled a level three demon with her body.

Herman and Stella quickly became celebrities in Sky City.

They are known as the "Steel Dragon Couple".

Herman's design wasn't something he made up; it came from the Mechanical Sage's blueprints.

This mechanical creator designed a series of cool and powerful mechanical beast blueprints.

Herman's model is called the "Iron Wing Tyrant Dragon".

Stella's model, on the other hand, is called "Steel Sea Dragon".

Their prototypes all come from the hybrid Dragonkind.

However, these mechanical creations are far more powerful than ordinary hybrid Dragonkind.

It was precisely because of this that the Steel Dragon Couple followed the Legendary Wizard Luther all the way, and with this Legendary Realm leading the way, they lured the terrifying [Dark Insect Race] to the Level 600.

"To be honest, it's worth dying here. I, Kakat, have been to the Abyss before, and I've even been to the Level 600. Even Great Wizard wouldn't be able to get here, right?" A Fifth Ring wizard laughed.

"It's been so difficult. Thirty years of hard work and a journey through six hundred layers of the Abyss have finally allowed us to escape the pursuit of those Dark Insect Race. Those guys should still be fighting the Abyss Lord up there. The strength of that insectoid being is still inferior to that of the Deep Blue Sage," Herman remarked.

The Dark Insect Race were a name given by Luther.

Because these insectoids seem to have all originated from the Darkness Zone.

Luther watched the chatter of these wizards who had survived the ordeal, his expression still grave.

"Just one Zerg army is so troublesome, and there is even a level 10 being in it. It's unimaginable how strong this terrifying civilization is in its entirety... It may not be Bottomless Abyss."

The Wizard Civilization started too late. Although it developed rapidly, it was still too immature compared to those ancient races and civilizations that were naturally powerful.

It was truly unbelievable that Lord Sauron had reached 666th Floor. It took me quite a while to defeat the lord on Level 600.

However, the Abyss regenerates too quickly, and it may not be long before a powerful demon lord is born in the Blood War to fill the vacancy of the Level 600 lord.

In some ways, the Abyss Will may be the same as the [Mother Nest Will] of the Dark Insect Race; it is He who is stimulating and bringing about all of this.

Therefore, I suspect that Lord Sauron stopped after reaching the 666th Floor because he discovered this pattern.

No matter how many demons or Abyss Lord you kill, you can't eliminate them at their root.

Because above all demons and demon lords, there is a supreme will, and that is the true... Abyss.

That level is beyond what wizards can measure by common sense; it is far beyond level ten.

After all, according to current historical research, Lord Sauron had already surpassed level ten before he disappeared. Even he felt powerless, so how powerful must the enemy have been?

Perhaps only one day, when someone can truly penetrate the entire Abyss and reach Abyss deepest point, will they be qualified to understand Abyss true secrets.

suddenly.

In the darkness, a powerful and familiar will descended upon the Level 600.

Luther's expression changed.

"The Mother Nest Will has returned..."

The next moment, another chaotic and violent will descended upon this place.

This was a clash that even Legendary Wizard couldn't comprehend; it was a battle from another dimension.

"Everyone, go inside Sky City. I'm going to pull you into my demiplane."

Luther said.

The wizards rushed into the city.

With a wave of his hand, a Deep Blue light appeared, pulling Sky City into it.

Deep Blue Demiplane.

This is Luther's demiplane, and like the Endless Sea, it is azure blue, as is the sky.

It felt like stepping back into the Wizard World.

"Is this the Legendary Realm demiplane? It has no sense of boundaries and no idea how big it is. It feels like a small secret realm." Herman exclaimed in amazement.

This is not a secret realm based on the prime material plane, or a subspace like a spatial ring, but a true prototype of a plane.

Legend has it that a Legendary Realm can grow continuously, and theoretically, a demiplane has the potential to develop into a true plane.

Even if it's just a small plane, it's still a miracle, like the creation of the world by the gods.

Stella, the Steel Sea Dragon, swam in the sea, gazing towards the center of the ocean where a Wizard Tower stood.

A truly towering Deep Blue Wizard Tower.

It was as if this Wizard Tower, like a pillar, supported this world.

On the Wizard Tower, a benevolent face, like that of a deity, appeared.

"This is my demiplane. You can cultivate normally here. Next, someone will introduce you to my [Demiplane Rules]. Remember to abide by them, otherwise, you will be regarded as intruders and eliminated by the demiplane rules," Luther warned.

After saying this, everyone fell silent and obediently found a place to begin their practice.

Meanwhile, outside, taking advantage of the clash between the two Supreme Will...

The Deep Blue Sage immediately used Legendary Realm magic to tear apart the Abyss and headed towards the Level 599.

Two Supreme Will clashed, leaving no time to attend to him.

Now, it's time to go back!

Nether King City.

The past year.

With ample financial support, Levi's Meditation Aid Potion never ran out.

My mental strength has been steadily increasing every year.

Meanwhile, the materials for the [Purgatory Ghost Killing Array] have been prepared.

Levi immediately began refining the magic array.

Levi had high hopes for this battle formation, which had cost a huge sum of money.

The difficulty of refining it is also much higher than that of [The Glory of the Four Kings].

However, in the end, Levi successfully refined it without any major incidents.

Wizard Tower.

In front of Levi, there were twenty-four magical arrays that resembled war drums floating in the air.

The surface of the war drum is engraved with twenty-four different patterns of Hell demons.

Of these twenty-four war drums, four are the key points of the formation and need to be presided over by a shaman. The others have no requirements and can simply be carried on one's person.

"Each wizard will preside over one array eye, and a total of four wizards are needed. Their cultivation level must be at least the Second Ring. If it is too low, they will not be able to preside over the Third Ring array."

After so many years of development, the Spirit Energy Academy should be able to recruit the necessary wizards.

If all else fails, we can just kidnap a few people from the Wizard World.

Levi was eager to return to the Ancient Saint Plane to test the power of this magic array.

The attacks from the twenty ancient Ancient Saint of the Council of Elders were amplified and transformed by this magic array, so even an ordinary Fifth Ring wizard would not dare to take them head-on.

In this way, the Ancient Saint Plane can rest easy for a long time.

"However, the elemental power in the Ancient Saint Plane is not as concentrated as in this Starry Sea Area. I'll finish perfecting my spiritual power here before going home to take a look."

After two years of massive consumption, including drug use, magic arrays, and daily expenses, Levi still had over two million Great Stone in his reserves.

It feels so good to have money.

Suddenly, a tremor came from Levi's Wizard Tower.

He rushed out of the Wizard Tower and found two figures fighting and chasing each other in the air, under the pressure of the Nether King City's anti-air formation.

"The Fifth Ring Wizard... looks like he's trying to steal the Dark Ancient Tower Key again."

Levi saw that one of the wizards was emitting light.

He shook his head.

News about the Dark Ancient Tower is now circulating among mid-level wizards outside of some major organizations.

This made the conflicts between wizards even more frequent.

"It seems the rumors are true. There are no Primal Soul Wizard guarding Nether King City now, and the city lord is most likely in seclusion... Otherwise, fights in the city would never happen."

The two Fifth Ring wizards gradually disappeared into the distance.

Aljeta watched all this with lingering fear, and said with envy in her eyes, "Flying and disappearing into the ground, they are capable of anything... When will I be able to have even a tenth of their strength?"

"You are now at the peak of the Legendary Realm. Once you step into the second step of Knight, you can learn my [Blood Qi Wing Manifestation] technique. From then on, you too can soar through the skies." Levi stroked the White Wolf's head, enjoying the comfortable feel of it.

The White Wolf nuzzled against her affectionately, occasionally letting out a low hum.

"I heard that a potion that can help you break through to the Fourth Ring has been put on the shelves. I need to hurry up and check it out."

Levi chanted the incantation and entered the House of Witches.

He went to the Witch Shop immediately to see if they had any potions to help him break through to the Fourth Ring. He'd always missed out before; everything was sold out.

He had to bribe the witch at the Witch Shop with a large sum of money to get her to open a... back door for him.

Today, we finally gave him a chance.

Getting past the Fourth Ring is really not easy.

Therefore, even in a giant organization like the House of Witches, Fourth Ring Wizard is considered upper-middle level, Fifth Ring is upper level, and Primal Soul Wizard is upper level.

"Beautiful Miss Lin Da, I heard that a breakthrough potion has been put on the shelves..." Levi rushed over and said with a smile.

"Yes, Lord Levi, I notified you as soon as it was put on the shelves." Lin Da the Witch was the saleswoman at the Witch Shop.

It is said that her mother was a Fifth Ring witch from House of Witches, which is why she was able to get this very good, leisurely job with only a third-circle Third Ring level.

Levi immediately retrieved the information about the medicine.

[Deep Water Potion, Third Ring potion, taken before mental energy liquefaction, increases the success rate by 8%. Price: 200,000 Great Stone.]

"Only eight percent?" Levi frowned slightly.

"That's right... so the price is also very cheap, only 200,000 Great Stone, after all, this is only Third Ring potion."

Those potions that can increase the success rate by about 20% are all Fourth Ring potions. There aren't many Fourth Ring alchemists in the House of Witches, not to mention that the raw materials for this level of potion are extremely scarce.

Given Lord Levi's talent of reaching the peak of the Third Ring before the age of two hundred, the success rate of taking this potion is definitely over 50%, so I think it's worth a try.

Sigh, if I had even a one-third chance of success, I would have gone for it without hesitation.

Lin Da the witch said enviously that although she was a descendant of Fifth Ring wizard, her talent was not very good, and her achievements today were all due to the resources her family had provided.

"Fine, this will do."

Levi was worried that if he missed this opportunity, he would never have another chance.

Anyway, 200,000 Great Stone isn't expensive. Let's buy it first. If there's a better alternative later, we can resell this Deep Water Potion.

With the breakthrough potion, there will be no shortage of buyers; there will always be a market, Levi will definitely not lose money.

Levi wanted to pursue a more stable breakthrough, but many ordinary Third-Ring Wizard were lucky to have any potions at all, and didn't care whether the success rate was 10% or 20%.

"Neither this Deep Water Potion nor the Lady Night Potion that could increase the success rate by 20% at the Nether King City auction a while ago can compare to the Succubus Potion, which has a success rate of nearly 30%. With my talent, the success rate of breaking through with the Succubus Potion is over 90%. Unless I'm extremely unlucky, it's very difficult to fail."

Levi analyzed the situation in his mind before leaving the House of Witches.

Anyway, there's still some time before his mental strength reaches its peak, so he still has a chance.

He left Nether King City to visit his Teacher Mai Lin, and the others.

On his way back, he saw the two Fifth Ring wizards still fighting over the key in the distance.

There were some Fourth Ring and Third-Ring Wizard hiding nearby, risking their lives to try and snag a bargain.

"In today's Wizard World, resources are all obtained through competition..."

Levi underestimated the allure of the Dark Ancient Tower for ordinary wizards.

"We've truly regressed to ancient times. The council's order is a mere formality... There's no longer any distinction between Black Wizard and white wizards. Without constraints, anyone can transform from a white wizard to Black Wizard in an instant... And even if there were order, in the darkness where the light doesn't reach, how many of those so-called white wizards are truly white?"

For example, Levi himself walks on the edge of various gray areas. He knows very well that many of the things he does cannot be exposed to the light of day.

On the way back, Levi sensed that a wizard was following him.

"These days, even Third-Ring Wizard are starting to have designs on me... It seems I've been too low-key in Nether King City; everyone thinks I'm an easy target."

Levi quickly flew off into the distance.

Not long after, a strange wizard with bluish-green skin resembling tree bark appeared here.

"Hey, you're pretty alert, but do you think you can escape?"

Fifteen minutes later.

Levi returned to Nether King City looking quite well.

He rushed back to the Wizard Tower, closed the magic circle, and set up the restriction.

He took out a Storage Tool and a bluish-green wizard's corpse.

"He's just a Third Ring Body Refinement Wizard who thinks he can rob me just because he's good at concealing his aura..."

This person only had seventy or eighty thousand Great Stone in his storage space; he was extremely poor.

The artifact was only a Second Ring artifact, a type of artifact that Levi would not normally notice.

"However, this ' Tree Spirit Body Refinement Method ' is a good body refining method... It is a body refining method of the Life Faction, unlike the previous bloodline modification wizard, which does not require the transplantation of extraordinary biological organs."

Levi put away this method for future cultivation, to integrate with his Golden Wizard Poison Body.

"This body of Body Refinement Wizard would be a good vessel for Mind Flayer."

Levi released the Mind Flayer.

The Mind Flayer immediately took a liking to the corpse upon its appearance.

"Master... may I reside within it?" the Mind Flayer asked tentatively.

"This is what I prepared for you," Levi said.

"Thank you." The Mind Flayer ethereal, then transformed into a beam of light and merged into this body.

With a tremor from the bluish-green corpse, it soon rose to its feet as if it had come back to life.

"This body is much better than my previous one," came the Mind Flayer's delighted voice.

After a transformation, the corpse became the appearance of a young man.

After sensing the situation, Levi discovered that the Mind Flayer's hidden abilities were truly impressive.

Once inside, he couldn't tell the difference between himself and an ordinary wizard.

Unless it deliberately exposes itself, it's estimated that even Fifth Ring wizard would have a hard time discovering the suspicious activity.

This is why Mind Flayer are so infamous across multiple dimensions.

Many wizards suspect that the higher-ups of the Wizard Council have long been controlled by powerful Mind Flayer.

Levi used to dismiss these rumors as baseless conspiracy theories.

After witnessing the Mind Flayer's abilities firsthand, Levi felt that it might actually be true...

After giving the Mind Flayer a body, Levi let him leave.

The Mind Flayer has an important mission: to attend the Demon Banquet and obtain firsthand information about the Succubus and Solett for Levi.

He doesn't need Mind Flayer to fight for him; Mind Flayer aren't best at fighting, but rather at infiltrating enemy ranks and gathering intelligence.

After doing all this, Levi continued his cultivation in Nether King City.

Although Nether King City is relatively chaotic now, there's no need to start all over again if you go to other cities.

Besides, if anything happens, he can return to the House of Witches; it's still quite safe there.

This day.

Levi was on his way to repair the vehicle.

Relying on the power of the Death Ash, they entered the Ash World.

The sky, filled with Ashes, reappeared before my eyes.

"It's been a long time since I've been here."

He remembered that the last time he entered Lion King City, he found himself in a place that resembled Lion King City but was not quite there.

This time, what appeared before him was the equally dilapidated and desolate Nether King City.

"Does every place in the Nora Plane have a counterpart in the Ash World...?" Levi wondered. "And what is the relationship between the Ash World and the Nora Plane? Is it the other world? If it is, and the Nightmare World has invaded the other world, will the next step be to invade the real Nora World...?"

With many questions in mind, Levi walked out of the Wizard Tower. In Nether King City, he could sense powerful bonfires burning in some of the mansions.

Those were all reflections of the powerful life force of mid-level wizards in this world. Some of the campfires clearly came from Fifth Ring wizards, and even Third-Ring Wizard looked tiny in front of their powerful flames.

Levi and they were not in the same dimension; these wizards could not perceive Levi.

In the center of Nether King City stands a Wizard Tower a hundred feet high; Levi remembers that it was the residence of the Nether King City.

At the highest point of this Wizard Tower, there is a campfire that resembles the sun, sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting, seemingly in a state of instability.

"The only Primal Soul Wizard in the city... seems to be in seclusion due to serious injuries, just as rumored."

He came to the sea, which was the same as the sea in the real world, except that the sea here was covered with Ashes.

"If that's the case, then this place is quite far from Windmill Village, where Owens is located. After all, Windmill Village is next to Lion King City on the Yellow Earth Continent."

When Levi returned to Nether King City and went home, he found a twisted, thin, humanoid monster, half the height of the Wizard Tower, lying at the entrance of his Wizard Tower, staring into the building with its bloodshot eyes.

Death Fallen!

Moreover, in terms of the level of danger, it may be comparable to Fourth Ring Wizard.

Levi's Seed of Death Ash roared, and black Death Ash Power surged forth. At this moment, he seemed to be the master of this world.

The greatsword, formed from the power of Death Ash, slashed out, splitting the Death Fallen in two.

It did not die, but instead reunited and charged towards Levi.

The level four Death Fallen meant that even Levi's invincible power of Death Ash couldn't kill him instantly.

"Flame Dragon True Body!"

In this gray world, crimson flames ignite, illuminating the dim streets.

Levi fought the Level 4 Death Fallen One for dozens of rounds before finally killing him, and a black crystal appeared in his hand.

Levi had tried to refine and absorb the power within using Owens' method, but he was unsuccessful.

His Nightmare Dragon Seed and Death Ash Seed seem to reject, or rather despise, this power.

On the contrary, the Strange Worm Leon can absorb the energy within and evolve.

"There are also Death Fallen here in Nether King City. It seems that this Ash World is completely finished... There may not be many normal people like Owens left. Where have those powerful Ash King gone?"

Levi left the Ash World, carrying a bellyful of questions, and returned to the Wizard Tower.

"Forget it, I was originally planning to explore the Ash World to see if there were any treasures. But now it seems like this world is nothing but Ashes and Death Fallen, with no value for exploration..."

Levi murmured to himself, flicked his finger, and a copper coin flew into the air.

"Unbowed Silver Seat Owens!"

With Levi's call.

Owens, the "half-man," appeared with an excited expression.

"Tell me, who do you want to fight? Perfect opportunity to test my newly mastered sword technique, Raven Gale Slash!"

"You're not fighting anyone, so what's your strength now?" Levi asked.

"Thanks to you, I have successfully advanced to the fourth level of Ash Swordsman. No one in our Windmill Village has ever been as strong as me. If my great-grandfather were still alive, he would be very happy to see my achievements now."

"That's right, you're still in Windmill Village?" Levi asked.

"Yes."

"Next, I may need your help. Try to improve your strength as much as possible and prepare for the big battle."

"No problem."

After Owens left, Levi threw the black crystal to the Strange Worm Leon.

Leon ate with great relish.

After devouring many crystals and souls, this Strange Worm is now as powerful as an ordinary Fourth Ring Wizard.

Levi dared not let it become too powerful, lest it slip out of his control.

"With Owens Mind Flayer added to the mix, I have quite a few Fourth Ring combatants at my disposal... The upcoming trip to the Frost Realm shouldn't be a problem."

Time flies, day and night.

The year 1125 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Wheat Fields.

The Great Expedition is in its 94th year.

Levi is 135 years old.

Levi spent four years in Nether King City, living a life of quiet seclusion.

He has already pushed his self-created Aether Meditation Technique to the Ninth-Rank Limit.

Levi ————

Aether Meditation Technique: Ninth Rank (Limit, Limit Can Be Broken), Special Effect: Aether Dominator.

"To break through the limits, we need to take the most crucial step, which is... the liquefaction of mental energy!"

Levi placed his hand on the Klein Crystal.

[Mental Strength: 200]

[Art Power: 8000]

Levi's mental strength had reached 200 points, which was the perfect state of Third-Ring Wizard.

My Art Power has reached its limit!

In his mind, the gaseous magic ring composed of mental energy particles was already close to perfect, and it was difficult to add even the slightest bit more.

To go a step further, one must condense Spiritual Power Dew at the center of the gaseous magic ring to purify the quality of spiritual energy.

vaporizes into liquid.

That way it can accommodate more!

Once a single drop is condensed, one has entered the Fourth Ring.

"Everything is ready except for two things: the construction of the third talent spell and the concoction of the Succubus Potion."
