Third Dragon-Scale Transformation! The Might of the Dharma Form!

Levi ——————

Golden Serpent Breathing Technique (Blood Source Three Transformations): Fifteenth-Order (1/700,000), Special Effects: Transformation Scale (Level 3), Dragon's Might, Golden Serpent Plays in Water. Bloodline Avatar: Golden Serpent Frenzy Dance. Exclusive Weapon: None.

The name "Golden Serpent Frenzy Dance" behind the Bloodline Avatar is a name Levi himself gave to the Golden Snake Dharma Image.

"In addition to the birth of the Bloodline Avatar, the defense of the Golden Serpent Scales has also reached level three, which is equivalent to undergoing three transformations, and its hardness has increased significantly."

"Now I have stacked five layers of armor: [Golden Serpent Scales], [Earth Dragon Barrier], [Dharma Form: Golden Serpent Frenzy Dance], [Heavy Water Barrier], and [Golden Wizard Poison Body]... Who can kill me instantly under my Origin Soul?"

Forget it, that kind of thinking is too dangerous. I'll save such boasts for when I'm inside the Fifth Ring Road.

Apart from the Heavy Water Barrier, which is Third Ring Protective Force Field, the others have defensive capabilities comparable to Fourth Ring Protective Force Field, and all of them are above average.

Layered armor always increases one's safety.

"At the current pace of cultivation of the Breathing Technique, the next one should be either the Red Emperor Dragon or the Scarlet Dragon, following the Fifteenth-Order of the Golden Snake."

The Red Emperor Dragon is already excellent enough. For a long time, it will not need to evolve; it only needs to advance in rank.

"As for the Scarlet Dragon, it could evolve further if the conditions are right."

In fact, even without evolution, Levi's current bloodline of six dimensions is theoretically sufficient for him to reach the tenth level of the Knight realm.

It's purely because the Red Emperor Dragon is so outstanding and inward-looking that other Breathing Technique seem somewhat inferior.

"Promotion requires consuming Bloodline Crystal, which can be fatal to extraordinary beings... For the sustainable development of the Twilight Temple, my plan to breed extraordinary beings should be put on the agenda."

When Levi was in the Wizard World, he had already collected many extraordinary creatures, but most of them were single.

For these extraordinary creatures to form a population, new individuals need to be continuously introduced.

Extraordinary biological breeding cannot be achieved in a short period of time.

Especially those extraordinary beings beyond the Third Ring, their numbers are already scarce.

Moreover, extraordinary beings require a long development period.

However, at this stage, the Twilight Knight Order only have a little over a hundred members.

The Knight ' bloodline means that the Twilight Knight Order cannot develop in large numbers like the wizards; they must take an elite route.

Besides the eighteen core members, the number of non-core members of the Twilight Knight Order from the Twilight Temple is not very large.

These Knight are still a long way from the stage where they need to use potions to advance.

When the Demon Tide intensifies, there should be enough extraordinary beings to cultivate.

Therefore, these Knight shouldn't have caused the mass extinction of the extraordinary creature population in the Nora Plane...

After all, wizards have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, and their numbers are many times greater than those of Knight.

Among these, the number of extraordinary creatures killed or used in potions by wizards is unimaginable.

However, even now, although many extraordinary species are rare, they have not all become extinct.

In particular, the reproductive ability of low-level extraordinary creatures is quite strong.

In terms of sheer size, the Twilight Temple is insignificant compared to the Wizard Civilization.

The concern that the expansion of the Knight Order would lead to the extinction of extraordinary beings is similar to the concern that rapid development in developing countries would cause ecological damage.

When the number of people in the Twilight Temple increases and the consumption of magic potions rises.

According to Levi's plan, there are already several exclusive planes similar to the Ancient Saint Plane beneath the Temple, serving as dedicated breeding bases for extraordinary creatures.

Moreover, the multiverse is endless, and what the wizards have explored is only the tip of the iceberg.

As the Knight ' strength grows, new dimensions will inevitably be discovered in the future.

While Levi was contemplating his grand plans for the future in the Emperor Palace.

A strange, excited laugh suddenly came from high above! The sound was hoarse and unpleasant, like the sound of wild ducks flying across the sky.

Levi sensed it briefly and his face lit up with surprise.

"Master Laja, you've finally broken through to the Fourth Ring... It's been a long time coming. When I was at the Second Ring, it was already at the peak of the Third Ring. Now I'm already at the Fourth Ring, and it's only just been promoted! I've been waiting forever."

Levi immediately took a giant vat, laughed loudly, left the Emperor Palace, and flew into the sky.

Laja broke through, and he was even more excited Laja... This meant that his training speed in the Sky Dragon Breathing Technique was even faster.

Laja's wind and thunder attribute Dragonkind bloodline is a perfect match for the Sky Dragon Breathing Technique.

These little things were born to become ingredients in Levi's Secret Medicine! On the cliff behind the Emperor Palace.

Levi stood with his hands behind his back.

In the sky, a pterosaur with a wingspan of forty or fifty meters, its body wreathed in the power of wind and thunder, hovered above his head.

"Not bad, as expected of a rare dual wind and thunder attribute. Although Laja is an extraordinary being, his strength may be even stronger than that of an ordinary Fourth Ring Wizard."

Levi was satisfied.

"Come down, let me examine your body."

Upon hearing this, Laja swooped down and landed smoothly in front of Levi.

"Your performance was very good. If you can advance to the Fifth Ring, I'll find you a female pterosaur, how about that?"

While having his blood drawn, Levi began making promises to Laja.

The Wind Thunder Winged Dragon is extremely rare; in the vast, Endless Sea, finding even one is incredibly difficult.

But it's not impossible.

After all, the fact that Laja can exist means that there is still a population of Wind Thunder Winged Dragon in the Endless Sea.

It can only be said that the Endless Sea is too vast and the population is too small, making it very difficult to find.

Moreover, if the Wind Thunder Winged Dragon cannot be found, then finding some other wyvern-like ferocious beasts in the Ancient Saint Plane... should also satisfy Laja.

According to some Dragon School wizards, the more powerful Dragonkind, the less restricted the reproductive barrier between species, which is why there is a group of Dragonkin Wizard.

On the contrary, it is extremely difficult for pure-blooded Dragonkind to produce truly pure-blooded offspring.

The underlying principles of this phenomenon remain a mystery to wizards to this day.

Upon hearing that his master was going to find him a wife, Laja nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Given its lineage, it's possible for it to win the Fifth Ring, though the chances aren't very high.

After drawing blood from Laja, Levi treated it to some medicine and the finest beast meat, letting it play on its own.

Laja of the Fourth Ring has no natural enemies in the Ancient Saint Plane, so he is not worried about Laja's safety.

"But why do I feel even a little bit of danger?"

Levi looked at the hairs standing on end. In most cases, when he was in the Ancient Saint Plane, he had no sense of danger.

"Could it be that person from the God Forsaken Land has arrived?"

Seemingly to verify Levi's guess, the next moment, he took out a stone slab, on which an image appeared, in which a figure could be vaguely seen swiftly streaking across the sky.

These are the Image Transmission Stone Slab he set up in the sea area surrounding the plane entrance. Relying on a special magic array, these images can be fed back to Levi.

Levi's heart stirred.

"Summon the Council of Elders!"

He gave the order, and the emperor's envoys flew off into the distance.

Levi, on the other hand, led the Mind Flayer and the Succubus towards the entrance.

With the Glory of the Four Kings, even Fifth Ring wizard, if not very knowledgeable about magic arrays, would need some time to break through by brute force.

The Ancient Saint Plane is Levi's place of development and foothold, and he will not allow outsiders to taint it! The location of the Emperor Palace is not far from the Temple Altar. If Levi flies at full speed, he can arrive there in no time.

The entrance to the Ancient Saint Plane.

Nameless Island.

This island looks no different from any other island.

But if you accidentally step inside, you'll find that there's a hidden world inside.

At this moment, a bald wizard with a solemn expression stood in the void within the [Fire King] magic circle.

Countless black and twisted figures danced around him, forming his Fifth Ring defensive force field.

The flames and force fields collided, producing a sizzling sound.

"Magic array... Damn it, I hate magic arrays the most. No wonder those guys died here. They deserved to die."

He knew absolutely nothing about magic arrays; he simply had no talent for them.

"However, this magic array appears to be only Third Ring array. For me, there is no need to know how to break the array; brute force will suffice."

His thoughts raced.

Fourth Ring Spell: Shadow Erosion!

With a wave of his hand, countless dark shadows emerged from his body, transforming into light that seeped into all directions of the magic array.

Bo Gang, who was secretly observing from within the Earth King Formation, had already arrived at the temple altar.

"An even stronger intruder than last time has arrived. Everyone, get ready. I have sent a message to the master, but it will take him some time to arrive."

Bo Gang said.

"Understood. The four of us are ready. We will launch a surprise attack as soon as that person enters."

The four Ancient Saint guarding this place spoke.

Inside the Fire King Formation, the Lord of Black Light is using brute force to break through the array.

He even released the level four Fire Elemental Spirit he had subdued.

"Little bird, let's break through the formation together."

An Wada felt a vague unease in its heart; after being targeted time and again, it was like a frightened bird.

But now the bird is under the eaves and has to bow its head.

It spews flames, searching for the objects within the Fire King Formation, and destroys them.

It is inherently a fire element, so it is completely immune to the Fire King Formation.

It thrives in this environment.

Ultimately, it stumbled upon the core of the Fire King Formation.

"Get ready, we're about to break through the magic array. The enemy may already be on alert."

After the Lord of Black Light finished speaking, he found himself having passed through a Sea of Fire.

He came to a Wu Yin sea.

"Damn it, this is a series of interconnected traps!"

Even without understanding magic arrays, the Lord of Black Light knew that although this magic array appeared to be Third Ring, due to its combination nature, its actual difficulty should be no less than that of Fourth Ring.

Streams of water swirled towards him.

However, he was Fifth Ring wizard after all, and he could handle these methods perfectly well.

And so, he passed through the three great magic formations of the Water King, the Wind King, and the Earth King without any major incident.

When he came out, he was covered in sweat and his face showed hesitation.

"Judging from the arrangement of this magic array, the enemy must be a master of magic arrays. There are so many traps at the entrance alone, and there may be even more traps waiting for me inside... Little Bird, you go in first and scout ahead."

The Lord of Black Light has learned his lesson.

"We Crypt Wizard have been isolated and cut off from the Worldly Barrier for too long, and it seems that we are falling behind the times. This resurgence of the Demon Tide is extraordinary, and we should be careful in all our actions."

Once bitten by a snake, twice shy.

After discovering that he was no match for the saint of the Storm Church.

The Lord of Black Light put away his previous arrogant and conceited attitude.

An Wada reluctantly arrived at the entrance, dawdling and unwilling to go in.

"Hurry up, or I'll have no choice but to refine you... This Fourth Ring magical artifact I have is just missing a spirit. Although the attributes aren't quite right, it's still better than having no spirit at all... Hehehe." The Lord of Black Light threatened with a laugh.

He brandished a rapier in his hand, the best sorcery weapon he possessed— the Shadow Thorn.

If the level four fire elemental goes in without any problems, he will infiltrate using Shadow School.

If something bad happens to that guy when he goes in, he'll decide whether to run away!

Times have changed!

An Wada eventually stepped into it.

Its voice was loud and clear, which emboldened it.

Boom! Just as I came in.

It sensed four powerful attacks coming at it in an instant.

Flames erupted around An Wada, engulfing everything in their path.

Without a second thought, it turned around, stepped back into the entrance, and disappeared.

"What's going on?"

The four Ancient Saint still haven't figured out the situation.

Why did the enemy retreat before even engaging in combat?

An Wada's figure appeared on the other side.

Its figure was much dimmer at this moment.

"When my Fifth Ring was at its peak, those Thug could be killed with a single breath, couldn't they? Damn it!"

An Wada was unwilling to accept this.

If it weren't for its fire elemental body, those four attacks would have either killed it or severely injured it.

It has not yet avenged its great grudge; it cannot die here.

The Lord of Black Light looked at the much weaker An Wada with lingering fear.

"There are already so many traps at the entrance; who knows what dangers lie inside?"

After some hesitation.

Lord of Black Light decided to go and take a look, since he was already here.

He put away the fire element and infiltrated using Shadow School.

Upon reaching the other side, the anticipated attack did not occur.

He spread his mental energy and sensed it.

"The elemental power is alright, not very strong. There are four Lizardmen. Judging from their aura, although they are not as strong as Fourth Ring Wizard, they are not far behind."

How come the Lizardmen here are so strong? And judging from their appearance, they seem to have been assigned to guard the altar here.

This is a secret realm with an owner, and the fact that so many level four Lizardmen are guarding the gate suggests that the owner of this realm is definitely at the Fifth Ring.

However, this Lizardmen couldn't detect my shadow stealth.

The Lord of Black Light was currently hiding in an inconspicuous shadow within the temple.

Should we explore this further?

While he hesitated.

Suddenly, a figure wearing a blood-red cloak and golden armor approached from afar.

"Fourth Ring Wizard? Is he the master of this place? Or is he also a guardian? Judging from his mental energy fluctuations, he's only at the initial Fourth Ring level. However, the golden Alchemy runes shining around his body clearly indicate that he also practices body-refining magic... Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and Body Refinement Wizard haven't gone extinct yet?"

As far as he knew, in the early days of the ancient times when wizards were born, Body Refinement Wizard and magic wizards were roughly equal, with both sides believing that they were on the right path to becoming wizards.

However, by the end of ancient times, Body Refinement Wizard were no longer comparable to magic wizards, and fewer and fewer people practiced them.

Whether in theory or practice, the path of the Body Refinement Wizard is inferior to that of the magic wizard.

Therefore, even among the ancient Crypt Wizard group, which has remained largely unchanged since ancient times, there are not many Body Refinement Wizard left.

"From this perspective, the development of wizards in the warp is nothing special..."

The Lord of Black Light regained some confidence and quietly crept towards the Fourth Ring Wizard.

Regardless of whether this Fourth Ring Wizard is the leader of this secret realm, he is at least a leader.

Grab him, ask him what happened, and then decide on the next plan.

Levi stood there, motionless.

"The sense of danger has not dissipated, but has instead grown stronger, indicating that the enemy is lurking here. However, his stealth ability is too advanced for me to detect... Those who can do this are basically members of the Shadow School, and it seems to be a Fifth Ring wizard."

Levi had already analyzed the situation to a reasonable extent.

This thought came to mind.

Without further hesitation, he moved all the Ancient Saint away from him and then snapped his fingers.

With a thought, he unleashed his first talent, Fire Dragon Tribulation, centered on himself! Boom! Fire Dragon Tribulation burrowed into the ground and exploded, flames sweeping and colliding within a radius of several miles, like a newborn sun.

"Damn it, how did he know I was here? Are Fourth Ring Wizard' senses really that sharp these days?" The Lord of Black Light, forced to reveal himself amidst the flames, changed his expression.

With a determined heart, he unleashed the Shadow Thorn, imbued with immense power.

This killing artifact transformed into a streak of black light, heading directly towards Levi at such a speed that it was difficult for him to dodge.

This attack, in the God Forsaken Land, would be enough to instantly cripple or even kill any Fourth Ring Wizard! But Levi was prepared; his sense of danger was not to be underestimated.

It was accompanied by a loud dragon roar.

Dharma Image: Golden Serpent Frenzy Dance!

A golden light descended upon Levi, and boundless blood energy formed a giant golden serpent that wrapped around Levi in layers.

Not only that.

Second Talent: Earth Dragon Barrier! Third Ring Force Field: Heavy Water Barrier.

Beneath these are armors formed from the Golden Wizard Poison Body and Fifteenth-Order Golden Snake Scales that gleam with metallic luster!

In an instant.

Levi has already deployed all the protective measures he had prepared in advance!

The Lord of Black Light over there was dumbfounded.

"Damn it, is that Fourth Ring Wizard?!"

He increasingly felt that he didn't belong in this world.

He thought he had gained some understanding of this new Wizard Civilization through some intelligence, but now he realized that he was still far from knowing enough! The light transformed from the Shadow Thorn pierced through the Golden Snake Dharma Image, shattered the Heavy Water Barrier and the Earth Dragon Barrier, and also penetrated the Golden Wizard Poison Body.

The next moment, a large, fan-shaped golden hand suddenly grabbed the Shadow Thorn.

This is Fourth Ring magical artifact; even within the Fourth Ring, it's considered top-grade.

It was still driven by himself, the Fifth Ring wizard.

How dare this Fourth Ring Wizard grab his own magical artifact with his bare hands? The Lord of Black Light was shocked.

Levi looked puzzled.

He gripped the struggling magical artifact tightly, and asked with a hint of suspicion, "Excuse me... are you Fifth Ring wizard?"

This tone conveys disbelief and incomprehension.

This made the Lord of Black Light feel as if he had been severely humiliated.

"He has the mental strength and aura of Fifth Ring, but his actual strength... is not even as good as the witch I met in Snow King City that day. Is there really such a weak Fifth Ring wizard in this world?" He wondered to himself, and began to launch a counterattack.

The Lord of Black Light has broken through the defenses.

"So, I'm already a remnant of the old era? Can Fourth Ring Wizard in the new era really rival Fifth Ring from the old era? No! I don't believe it!"

All around him, countless shadowy blades burst forth, all aimed at Levi.

Fifth Ring Spell: Shadow Stream Thousand Blades!

A crackling sound came from inside.

The sharp blades pierced through Levi's multiple defensive forces, shattering some of his Golden Snake scales and leaving shallow bloodstains on them.

These injuries were not serious for Levi's physique; they were not even considered fatal.

"160 calories, that's about the minimum power of Fifth Ring spell in this era..." Levi held a fiery red snake-shaped ring in his hand, pouring almost all of his Art Power into it.

"Such terrifying fluctuations... This is Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact, and the finest of them all. Damn it, what is this kid's background? And how powerful is the force behind this secret realm?"

Seeing this, the Lord of Black Light wasted no more time and slipped into the shadows to escape.

In an instant, the entire world was scorched.

A Scorching World Flame Serpent suddenly appeared, sweeping across the region with unparalleled power.

Even though the Lord of Black Light had retreated into the shadows, he still couldn't escape the attack of the Scorching World Flame Serpent.

This is a genuine Fifth Ring spell, and among Fifth Ring spells, its power is considered above average.

Furthermore, given Levi's Aether Dominator talent, with the same Art Power consumption and the same spell cast, Levi's Scorching World Flame Serpent is significantly more powerful than Black-Eyed Raven's!

It is far superior to the Fifth Ring spell of the Lord of Black Light!

Finally, in the shadows, a figure struggled and writhed, wailing incessantly.

"Annihilation!"

After reaching the Fifteenth-Order the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique, although the main attribute that is improved is defense, in reality, Levi's other dimensions are also improved to varying degrees, but compared to defense, they are insignificant.

His current Annihilation Sword Qi has also improved in power!

One after another, sword energies were released without reservation.

With a scream of despair, the Lord of Black Light, a dignified fifth-level cave lord and a legitimate ancient wizard, died under the blazing flames of the Scorching World Flame Serpent.

"Sauron... you are indeed worthy of your name. It seems our ancestors were wrong... Laws need not Zun Gu; innovation is necessary. Fossils of the old era will eventually turn to dust. We were wrong."

Amidst the flames, the soul of the Lord of Black Light gave up the struggle.

Fifth Ring wizards are highly skilled and possess strong spiritual power, so their souls can linger for a period of time after death, and can even be seen by ordinary people.

Since his birth, he has discovered that people like him have long been abandoned by the rapidly developing Wizard Civilization and are completely unable to integrate into it.

"Blindly worshipping the past, unaware of change, unwilling to adapt, and closing your country off from the world, your vision is far inferior to Sauron's... It's a pity that the body was completely burned away, and I didn't have time to convert it into Coin of Life."

After learning some of the history of the Crypt Wizard, Levi learned that their ancestors actually had the opportunity to go to the Warp with Sauron to jointly establish the Wizard Council.

However, they disagreed with Sauron's ideals and refused Sauron invitation, preferring to develop in the God Forsaken Land and continue to follow the ancient laws rather than follow Sauron. Therefore, they made almost no progress in the past few hundred thousand years.

"Awoo!"

The Strange Worm Leon pounced on him, tearing at the dying soul of the Fifth Ring.

"The new world, too, is Nightmare..."

The soul looked at Leon with a complicated expression. Before it could finish speaking, it was swallowed whole by the hungry Leon.

Leon let out a satisfied burp.

"Master... I'm so full, I'm sleepy, I want to go to sleep."

After Leon finished speaking, he fell straight down from the sky and fell asleep immediately.

Levi gazed at Leon, lost in thought.

"That Fifth Ring wizard seems to have also noticed Leon's peculiarity. Has he seen the Nightmare World? Could it be that, on the other side of the Worldly Barrier, in the God Forsaken Land, before the Dreamland Spire's research, the Nightmare World had already begun to infiltrate Nora?"

Levi's heart tightened.

Even now, he dares not easily venture into the Nightmare World.

"It seems that the God Forsaken Land is not simple. I need to make more preparations before exploring it."

Although this Fifth Ring wizard's strength is abnormal, his mental power and soul are genuine Fifth Ring. Leon has devoured a Fifth Ring soul, and his strength is likely to undergo another transformation.

No, while it's sleeping, I need to continue this subconscious education of love to prevent the little guy from rebelling in the future.

Levi immediately began to enter a dream state, giving Leon psychological suggestions.

After entering the dream.

Levi gazed at the Fifth Ring spell that was still scorching the earth.

Among them was a trembling figure, hiding in the flames, trying to conceal itself.

"He can't see me...he can't see me...this damned little bug, how did he become so powerful? The last time I saw him, he could only run away. Now, even that terrifying bald wizard is no match for him. What's wrong with this world?" Flame Avenger An Wada struggled with his inner turmoil.

The road to revenge is fraught with difficulties.

If it can successfully escape this time, it will find a volcano in the God Forsaken Land, lie dormant, and slowly consume the last bit of divine fire power until it advances to the Fifth Ring.

There's still a sliver of hope for revenge... right?

What are you expecting? Do you hope I'll let you go?

Suddenly, like a devil's whisper, that voice came out of nowhere.

An Wada felt as if he had fallen into an icebox.

"As a former level-five fire elemental, I, An Wada, was born to do great things, so..."

From within the flames, a tiny, miniature firebird leaped out, then circled around Levi, soaring and dancing around him, emitting a clear, melodious sound like a lark.

"Fire elementals can bend and stretch, and I, An Wada, will take my revenge... It's never too late. If I can't beat you, I'll outlive you. Do you think you can break through to the Origin Soul? I refuse to believe that you, a mere Fourth Ring Wizard, can outlive me."

An Wada figured it out and praised itself for its cleverness.

It had absolutely no need to confront these damned wizards head-on.

It only needs to outwardly obey and grovel, while inwardly maintaining a proud and free spirit, relying on the advantage of the fire element's long lifespan.

A thousand years later, An Wada is still a fine bird, while that damned little insect has long since turned into a handful of dust.

At that time, it can even give the little bug a grand burial and go clubbing on its grave!

"It seems some guys are hostile towards me... Looks like I can't let you live."

Levi looked at An Wada, who was rolling around and acting cute in his palm, with a half-smile, his tone indifferent.

A terrifying sword aura spread across his longsword, and it looked like it was about to strike down at any moment.

An Wada was terrified.

Damn it? I was just indulging in a little fantasy, and you could even sense it?

What kind of devil are you? No, I can't even have the slightest thought of killing him, or I'll be killed.

An Wada desperately tried to hypnotize himself.

In the end, Levi's sword did not fall, and An Wada survived.

"That's right, don't try to be clever in front of me." Levi looked at An Wada with a meaningful gaze.

An Wada: What a tragedy! It has betrayed its proud soul and is now forced to submit to this man in body and soul.

"With my current strength, I'm not afraid of what kind of trouble this fire element will cause. After my Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique advances, if this guy still doesn't behave, I'll have to put Scarlet Contract on him, or I can find a way to get a level four Spirit Binding Ring."

High-grade Spirit Binding Ring are very rare and cannot be bought with money alone, unless you go to the Spiritism School, the home of psychic wizards, where you might be able to get one.

"I wonder how Mei Lin Na is doing now, whether she has advanced to the Third Ring..." Speaking of the Spiritism School, Levi thought of the witch he met on the Yellow Earth Continent.

After defeating the Lord of Black Light, Levi clearly felt that the sense of danger had disappeared.

He immediately began his return journey, toying with the Fourth Ring sorcerer's artifact in his hand.

"The materials of this magical artifact are actually quite good; they could easily be used to make Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact. Unfortunately, this guy wasted them... Even if the materials were melted down and recast, a lot of their spiritual essence would be consumed."

The level of the ancient wizards was truly lacking. Their Fifth Ring strength, in today's Wizard World, would feel like only the level of some prodigies at the Fourth Ring level, or even the weakest, most incompetent Fifth Ring.

The problem is, judging from his mental strength level, he's actually been working in the Fifth Ring for quite some time now.

The weaknesses of the Crypt Wizard are multifaceted. Their magic is not as perfect as it is at present, as is their Meditation Technique, and their Art Power is also scarce.

In ancient times, there was no concept of Art Power. At that time, many wizards knew the principle of spellcasting but not the reason why.

However, the Lord of Black Light's statement that "the ancient Fifth Ring wizards can only be compared to the current Fourth Ring" is actually wrong.

Even the weakest ancient Fifth Ring wizard is stronger than 99.9% of today's Fourth Ring Wizard.

However, there are one in a thousand Fourth Ring Wizard, like Levi.

He was proficient in three major systems: magic wizardry, Body Refinement Wizard, and Knight. He also possessed a powerful weapon like Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact.

That's why he was able to turn the tables and kill the Lord of Black Light.

Without the Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact, even if the Lord of Black Light couldn't defeat Levi, escaping would be more than enough.

"Any extraordinary civilization is imperfect at its inception... Wizards are like that, and so are Knight. Although Knight are also ancient, before me, Knight went through an incredibly long period of stagnation, where level one was the ceiling of combat power. Now, to be able to develop a level four Knight like me in just over a hundred years is already quite fast..."

Not only Levi himself, but the Blood Knight and the others are also about to advance to level three.

In just a century, the entire Knight system has undergone a qualitative change.

Back to the Emperor Palace.

Levi looked at the Ancient Saint of the Council of Elders were already waiting for orders, and said, "I have dealt with the enemy. You can go about your own business."

"This is what an emperor is like—hands-on in everything. Praise be to the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, please allow us to fight next time!"

The Ancient Saint expressed their loyalty to the emperor and then dispersed in droves.

The next day.

Levi looked at the Crypt Wizard's Storage Bag with disappointment.

"How stingy! The magical knowledge and stuff are all old relics, not very useful to me... Only these materials are worth something, and there aren't many Great Stone either. Hmm, this piece of ore?"

After sorting through some trash, Levi took out a piece of ore that was about the same height as him.

The stone has a pitted and uneven surface, and is light gold in color with some gold veins all over it.

Levi gently tapped the surface of the ore, and the next moment, a buzzing sound filled the air, and the ore began to vibrate and tremble incessantly.

His face lit up with surprise.

"The rich earth elemental power, coupled with this vibrating and humming sound... This is the raw ore of Sonic Metal, which is extremely rare in the Wizard World. Hahaha, I knew it! How could Fifth Ring wizard not have good stuff?"

Sonic Metal is a fifth-level earth Elemental Metal, also known as "Sonic Gold".

Its rarity surpasses even that of the Skyfire Meteorite Iron and Blood Demon Crystal that Levi obtained.

Although it is a level 5 earth Elemental Metal, it is often used as a secondary material for crafting soul weapons.

"Such a large piece of Sonic Gold ore, I wonder how much Sonic Gold can be extracted from it. If it's enough, it can be used as one of the main materials for my Golden Serpent Breathing Technique's exclusive divine weapon..."

As for the other main material, it is naturally the water Elemental Metal.

The divine weapon created in this way can perfectly match the water and earth attributes of the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique.

Thinking of this, Levi looked at the bright red bird standing on the shelf.

"Within six months, extract the rare metals from this ore. If you can't, then your path in fire element comes to an end," Levi threatened.

An Wada nodded "happily." The person in front of it seemed to be able to see through its thoughts, so much so that it had to play the role of its pet wholeheartedly, or it would die without a burial place.

But deep within its hidden heart lies another dream: to outlive Levi to death!

At that time, Levi's small plane will become its lair!

Of course, given the current situation, it obediently followed Levi's instructions and began to refine the ore with its own flames.

"Gilmore, Miraya, you two watch it."

Levi summoned the two loyal Level 4 demons to oversee the work.

From now on, with this level four fire elemental, the work of refining ores and the operation of Tyrant III can all be done by it.

"From now on, I'll call you Phoenix ..." Although this guy is a fire elemental, he has a phoenix-like presence.

Despairing, An Wada buried his true name, "Flame Avenger An Wada," deep in his memory and began a life of perseverance and repentance.

The year 1135 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Origin.

The 104th year of the Great Expedition.

The 33rd Round Table Conference of the Twilight Knight Order has concluded successfully.

Through the meeting, Levi, who was living a secluded life and quietly cultivating in the Ancient Saint Plane, learned that the Blood Knight had successfully concocted the advanced Secret Medicine.

He did not kill the level-three blue windbird. After extracting its Bloodline Essence and plucking some feathers, he released it. Now, the members of the Twilight Knight Order have begun to deeply implement Levi's "sustainable development green concept".

Of course, if that extraordinary creature holds a grudge, the Blood Knight might inevitably face its revenge during his travels in the future.

But there's nothing that can be done about it. Even for Levi, aside from mixed-blood Dragonkind creatures that can be subdued by relying on Dragon Might, there are other options.

Other extraordinary creatures are also difficult to tame without Scarlet Contract location or Spirit Binding Ring.

This is already the best possible outcome.

After the meeting.

The Blood Knight then began refining Advancement Magic Potion with his blood and went into seclusion. The main work of the Twilight Temple was handed over to the Divine Light Knight, Denise.

at the same time.

The work of deciphering the Bloodline Runes is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

The members, deeply aware of the Knight' weakness, were extremely eager for the Talent Imprint.

Dinos spearheaded the establishment of the "Imprint Temple," and in his spare time, he led everyone in diligent research.

Under Levi's points-based reward policy, everyone's enthusiasm is very high.

In the Twilight Temple, the purchasing power of points is far greater than that of other resources.

Levi himself is also looking forward to the birth of the "Imprint Knight".

Once Knight enter the Blood Source Realm, they will be born with Bloodline Divine Weapon, Bloodline Avatar, and many other abilities. Combined with their Talent Imprint, the power gap between Knight and wizards of the same realm will be infinitely narrowed.

The current Knight Order is essentially advancing on two fronts: on one hand, Levi is at the forefront, relying on breakthroughs in his realm to expand the vertical dimension of the Knight.

On the other hand, the members of the Twilight Temple rely on collective wisdom to broaden the Knight's horizontal dimension.

For a secretive organization that has only been established for a little over a hundred years, this has already embarked on a healthy path of development.

Somewhere in the Emperor Palace.

Phoenix, the fire elemental who had been overseen by the Succubus and the Poison Fire Corpse Demon in turn, breathed a sigh of relief.

Before it, a pool of liquid metal, emitting a pale golden light, flowed continuously, clearly extraordinary.

"The deadline is almost here..." Phoenix felt like crying.

Working overtime every day and night, smelting the metal, Levi's task was finally completed.

My life is safe.

But when will this kind of life end?

"Endure it! I am destined for greatness. These hardships will only make me stronger. Life is always bitter before it's sweet! Let him be smug for a few hundred more years. We'll see! Time is on my side, Flame Avenger!"

An Wada hypnotized himself.

Inside the Emperor Palace.

In Levi's secret chamber, his expression remained calm and composed. He knew that Phoenix definitely had some ulterior motives, but with its absolute strength, these ulterior motives were just wishful thinking.

Levi is going back to the Wizard World. When he gets there, he'll try to get a Fourth Ring Spirit Binding Ring, and then it'll behave itself.

During this time, Levi was studying another thing, which was the fourth Rune Words he had mastered: the Lovers Rune!
