No Truth, No Rest for My Path! A Legend Falls, Golden Dragon Controls the Sky!
After watching Ai Niya leave, Levi returned to the Wizard Tower.
The sudden turn of events at the Stars Auction was premeditated.
Levi vaguely sensed that a storm was brewing.
"The Dark Ancient Tower is set to open in about twenty years. I thought that with all the major forces on both the Black-White sides busy preparing for the Dark Ancient Tower, they wouldn't cause any trouble. But it seems there are still some people who are eager to stir up trouble and are creating problems during the auction. Let's see how the Tower of Stars handles this..."
This matter is somewhat suspicious. The Stars Auction a once-in-a-century event, and the Tower of Stars would certainly take it seriously. They should have anticipated this situation. Perhaps this is just a smokescreen. This isn't the first time they've done something like entrapment.
But what does all this have to do with me, Levi? I'm just an unknown Rogue Wizard, when faced with a problem, retreats to the Mortal World.
Now that we have the Elemental Metal, we won't lack the materials for Meditation Aid Potion for the next twenty years.
Staying in the Endless Sea is pointless; I'd better go back to my little corner of the world.
However, I need to get through these most chaotic days before setting off, lest I be ambushed by Black Wizard on my way home. After all, I did buy something at the auction, and I'm afraid someone might have their eye on me.
So far, the danger perception system has not provided any warnings, but this does not prove that the outside world is necessarily safe.
Wizard Tower.
Levi quietly cultivated himself.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
Phoenix willingly tended the fire in the Alchemy room, melting the Ripple Meteorite Gold and Sonic Gold together.
In his spare time, Levi would visit well-informed places in Nether King City to gather information.
This day.
Levi held an ancient book in his hands, looking at the introduction about the Soul Splitting Fruit.
"No wonder even the Primal Soul Wizard fought so fiercely over it; it's such a treasure."
When Ai Niya mentioned it before, Levi thought it was some kind of treasure used to enhance and condense one's Origin Soul, but it wasn't.
Soul Splitting Fruit.
It is a rare and wondrous fruit that typically grows in places where dark and negative energy accumulates.
In places like the Endless Sea, such treasures are rarely found, except in a very few special secret realms or Dread Realm. They might appear in the later levels of the Nine Hells, but those are Paradise for the [Archdemon] or the [Death Monarch], and even Primal Soul Wizard enters might not return alive.
By nurturing the Soul Splitting Fruit within the Origin Soul, a second Origin Soul can be born. If a suitable body is available, it can be refined into a [Primal Soul Avatar].
The second Origin Soul shares a single consciousness with the original soul, the two being one.
However, if one's willpower is not strong enough, it may lead to a split personality, causing the second Origin Soul to develop self-awareness and even think about erasing the original and taking its place.
So there are still drawbacks, and they are significant!
Even so, the Primal Soul Wizard still flocked to it.
The higher the level of a wizard, the more they cherish their life.
They cultivated for hundreds or even thousands of years before finally achieving the Origin Soul.
Many Rogue Wizard walked this path with extreme caution, as if treading on thin ice.
Therefore, they would cultivate anything that could enhance their ability to survive.
If this second Origin Soul can be cultivated...
The second Origin Soul can handle dangerous tasks such as interdimensional travel and exploring ruins, while the main body can quietly stay in a safe place to cultivate in seclusion.
Gradually, the second Origin Soul can even replace the original body's social status, personality, and relationships, causing the entire world to forget the original body.
If the second Origin Soul dies unexpectedly, the main body will only suffer some injuries and lose an avatar.
"I wouldn't use something that could cause a mental breakdown, even if you gave it to me! Who knows how strong willpower is determined? If you're worried about danger, then stay home and avoid going out! Just stay home and cultivate your skills, and put on more layers of armor!"
There's no need to create multiple accounts or clones, especially things that could backfire on the original; stay away from those!
Levi was originally somewhat interested in the Soul Splitting Fruit.
Now that I know, I've completely given up hope.
He lived a secluded life, spending his days with the control panel, diligently working on repairs.
Time flies, and another six months have passed in the Annals of Time.
In the year 1139 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, Month of the Freezing Winter.
The end of the 108th year of the Five Realms Great Expedition.
On the main battlefield of the Great Expedition, the war between Dragon Flame God Wizard Rego and Black Wizard Emperor Astar has intensified and reached its final stage.
These two former colleagues are now facing each other on the battlefield.
After the Black Wizard Emperor sought refuge with the Lord of Chaos, that great being personally performed Bestowal of Godhood Ceremony for him in the Chaos Wilderness, igniting the divine fire.
Astar thus became a god under the Lord of Chaos, his divine fire burning eternally, his god immortal! But he also became the Lord of Chaos's lackey, enslaved by him!
On other battlefields of the Great Expedition, the Legendary Wizard gradually gained the upper hand. Although the evil gods were immortal, they were also limited by the Astral Realm. Faced with the ever-evolving Wizard Civilization, the defeat of this war of aggression was only a matter of time.
What they didn't know was that turmoil was also occurring in the Astral Realm.
Not long ago, a terrifying force seeped from the Darkness Zone into the transcendent spiritual plane: the Astral Realm.
The war spread from there, without end.
Some high-ranking beings in the Astral Realm, enjoying the worship of believers and reaping their rewards in their divine kingdoms, were suddenly overwhelmed by the surging, terrifying power, leaving them bewildered.
The Wu Yin Darkness Zone is a dark forest. It is never short of powerful beings.
A century is but a fleeting moment in the Darkness Zone.
But within this century, a powerful and aggressive civilization awakened from the ancient depths of space. They only needed to see a campfire in the darkness to follow their instinct for light. Guided by Supreme Will, they methodically carried out their suicidal, moth-to-a-flame invasions.
Wherever it goes, civilization withers away like a candle flame in the wind.
The stars are fading away; that is the lament of civilization.
The last day of the 108th year of the Five Realms Great Expedition.
All the Legendary Wizard had agreed beforehand to launch a final all-out attack on this day, to crush the evil gods and their legions on the four battlefields in one fell swoop!
After launching their all-out attack, they discovered that the evil gods had already withdrawn from the dimensional battlefield and sounded the retreat.
Whether it's the Black Wizard Emperor on the First Battlefield, or the Lady Famine, the Doom Lord, or the Grand Duke of Death.
These four deities, along with their subordinates, withdrew from the battlefield of the Five Realms Great Expedition at the cost of sacrificing a portion of their original divine power.
This puzzled the four Legendary Wizard. They worried that the evil god was playing tricks, so they did not rush to withdraw from the battlefield, but planned to continue to hold out for a while.
On the side of the evil god.
The great Lord of Chaos sent a divine decree, ordering all his evil gods to return to the Chaos Wilderness.
The oracle mentioned that in the desolate borderlands of the Astral Realm, weak deities had already been dragged down from their pedestals by an unknown, terrifying force, their divine flames extinguished, their Divine Spark crushed, and they utterly perished! Three hundred thousand years have passed since the end of the ancient era of the Wizard Civilization, and no deity has fallen! Not even the weakest! The deities believed that this was after the complete disappearance and possible fall of the being known as "Sauron."
In the entire multiverse, perhaps only a very few powerful planes, such as Nora, the Abyss, the Underworld, and Hell, have civilizations that could rival the gods.
These civilizations either never interact with the gods or are constantly fighting amongst themselves; they would never dare to invade the Astral Realm, which is the most powerful and can be said to be the core of the multiverse! This sudden power has the strength of the Abyss but is not chaotic and disorderly. It has the organization and clustering of a wizard civilization far exceeding that of the Wizard Civilization, and it has an almost omnipotent, Supreme Will that controls the whole situation above all else.
No known civilization is more dangerous than it! It is like a virus that appeared out of nowhere in the Darkness Zone, with a supreme will at its core and spanning a long period of time, gradually disintegrating and consuming all civilizations. This is the real... multidimensional catastrophe.
The desolate frontier of the Astral Realm.
In the endless Void Sea, there are countless wonders where the Power of Faith from beings from multiple dimensions is gathered, a sight to behold.
Scattered stars float in the Void Sea, each one comparable to a plane. This is the divine kingdom of the gods in the Astral Realm, the abode of the gods, and also a place for cultivation.
Today, these divine kingdoms are desolate and ruined, with the remains of angels and servants scattered throughout.
On the surface of a head, about a thousand feet in diameter and resembling a mountain, crawled countless strange and grotesque insects. This was once a deity who lived in the remote wilderness.
In a desolate, Void Sea, a figure existing between illusion and reality sits cross-legged.
He was dressed in a blue robe and sat there listlessly. Judging from his appearance, he was none other than the Deep Blue Sage, Luther.
Luther's expression showed some hesitation and struggle.
While the Mother Nest Will and the Abyss Will were locked in battle, he quickly returned the way he came and withdrew from the Abyss Plane.
They thought they had successfully escaped the Mother Nest Will, but found that they were locked onto by the Mother Nest Will again on their return journey.
He knew that he would not be able to return to Nora unless this problem was completely resolved.
So, going all in, risking discovery by the gods, he used the Legendary Realm spell Star Travel Technique created by Sauron to arrive in the Astral Realm.
This is the legendary Land of Gods, the Supreme Dimension, and the Multi-Brain.
"Although it's a bit impolite... in the known planes of existence, if there's any plane that can truly stop the Dark Insect Race, it's only the Astral Realm."
The Dark Insect Race arrived with overwhelming force, and before this, there had been no trace or intelligence about them; the Wizard Civilization knew nothing about them.
They seem to be some kind of terrifying rules and procedures, indiscriminately devouring all civilizations, and I still haven't found a way to break them.
The gods have now begun their fight against the Dark Insect Race, but I am not safe... I am certain that the Mother Nest Will is still within me, watching me in some way that I cannot comprehend.
If I don't let go of this "me," I might bring Nora a devastating Calamity.
With this thought in mind, a Gold Coins spun at the Deep Blue Sage's fingertip, and the elegant lady's smile enveloped him.
"Until the truth is revealed, my path will not cease! Legendary Realm Forbidden Technique: The Wizardry Truth Unraveling!"
It was accompanied by the chanting of complex incantations.
Ripples began to flow across the surface of the Deep Blue Sage's body, and a rich water elemental power began to dissipate.
Moreover, the identical Origin Soul within the Deep Blue Sage's mind also began to dissipate and disintegrate.
Runes, seemingly containing truth, flowed out and merged into the heavens and earth.
Before a powerful being at the level of Primal Soul Wizard or higher perishes, everything they have taken from heaven and earth will return to nature! This phenomenon is called:
The Wizardfall! (See Chapter 172) The Land of Wizardfall has two great wonders: one is the exceptionally rich elemental power, and the other is the "Traces of Truth" that contain the insights and even inheritances of wizards.
Ultimately, everything about the Deep Blue Sage vanished without a trace in the Astral Realm Void Sea.
A Gold Coins lay there, its face bearing a determined smile, before Gold Coins crumbled completely.
It seems that a lingering, unforgettable sentiment is echoing here.
"Bringing the war to the Astral Realm should buy us a relatively long respite. Give civilization time, Nora, we're not ready yet..."
Legendary Realm has fallen, and the world mourns! Soon after, an Supreme Will seeped in, only to vanish without a trace.
Darkness Zone, Wu Yin void.
Deathly silence and desolation are the main themes here, with powerful black beasts occasionally wandering by, exuding an aura comparable to that of Primal Soul Wizard.
Black Beasts are a collective term for unknown extraordinary creatures in the Darkness Zone. They are capable of Crossing Void, so their strength is naturally not weak.
Generally speaking, Primal Soul Wizard rarely provoke black beasts.
These creatures are uncontrollable, worthless, and exceptionally powerful. Hunting black beasts would be a thankless and arduous task.
Unlike ordinary extraordinary creatures, the bodies of black beasts often contain strong corrosive and polluting power, which will gradually erode the wizard's spiritual power and physical body. Neither the materials on their bodies nor their bloodlines can be used as materials for alchemy and bloodline modification.
To date, the Wizard Civilization has not yet developed an effective method to purify this dark power.
The few available methods are extremely costly, with the cost far exceeding the gains.
The "Cataclysm Beast" of Nora 'God Forsaken Land are actually the black beasts that descended upon Nora.
The reason why Crypt Wizard hide in caves all day long is largely to avoid these guys.
At this moment, a black beast, about a kilometer long, with tens of thousands of tentacles on its round body, was preying on all possible living things in the void.
If it's lucky, it might find some planes with broken crystal walls and feast there. If it's unlucky, it might starve for hundreds of years.
This vast, empty void is its territory. The Dark Beast Lord is a being comparable to Primal Soul Wizard.
Suddenly, an even deeper shadow fell upon the head of the Dark Beast Lord.
A colossal black tower, so immense that even with its vast spiritual power, it could only perceive a fraction of its size, stretched across the void of the Darkness Zone, slowly floating.
The colossal tower was ancient and imposing, carved with four dragons of varying shapes. At the center of these dragons was a colossal white serpent, controlling Earth-Fire Wind-Water, and water, encircling the entire Dark Ancient Tower and the mortal world! The Dark Beast Lord instinctively felt fear and trembled. It wanted to leave the area where the tower was located, but found that no matter what it did, it could not escape.
The next moment, a dark opening appeared at the bottom of the black tower, and the Dark Beast Lord, along with all the matter in this void, was swallowed up. Among them were rare ores that would make wizards ecstatic, as well as treasures that could only be born in the Darkness Zone.
Even a small plane whose crystal wall had been completely shattered and which was already dead was directly crushed and swallowed up.
The dark tower continued to float in the void, its speed seemingly slow, yet in the blink of an eye, it seemed to have traversed millions of miles.
Occasionally, streaks of light would fly out from it and fall into some nearby planes.
When the Dark Beast Lord awoke again, he was in a new world of clear blue water.
Blue skies and white clouds, snow-capped mountains, oceans and mountains, towering trees... It wandered aimlessly here until it came to a vibrant island in the sea.
Here stands a small blue tower by the sea.
Beside the small tower, there were bewildered and unknown humans, dressed in robes.
Among these humans, two were quite special. They were cast from steel and had unique shapes. Upon seeing the Dark Beast Lord, they transformed into an Iron Wing Tyrant Dragon and an Steel Sea Dragon, respectively, ready to fight.
"This is... a black beast? Where have we ended up?"
One of the group's Primal Soul Wizard looked puzzled. At the same time, he unleashed Origin Soul spell that changed the color of the sky and earth, attacking the black beast.
"I don't know, but this is definitely not the demiplane of the Deep Blue Sage anymore... What's going on? Did the Deep Blue Sage perish?"
"No way, the Deep Blue Sage is Legendary Wizard! Legendary Realm can't fall!" Herman said. After his long journey, he had become a die-hard fan of the Deep Blue Sage and was completely captivated by this Legendary Wizard with his powerful charisma! "I didn't see the Deep Blue Sage's Wizard Tower ..." Stella said with some worry.
"Through my stargazing technique, I discovered that there are no stars outside the crystal walls here; they seem to be blocked by a thick barrier," said a Primal Soul Wizard. His expression suddenly turned grave. "I've thought of a place...this is the Dark Ancient Tower!"
"What? The legendary Dark Ancient Tower that appears only once every ten thousand years? Doesn't a key require a key to enter?"
"I don't know what's going on either, but this should be the Dark Ancient Tower. Perhaps only the Deep Blue Sage knows the truth?"
At this moment, inside the small tower.
There was a pool of blue water in which a small fish, seemingly composed of countless truths and runic knowledge, swam carefree.
On the antique desk, there is a Deep Blue Crystal Ball that emits a dreamlike luster. On the surface of the Crystal Ball, there are words that read, "Deep Blue Butler - Prototype".
Suddenly, a blue light descended from the sky and entered the little fish's forehead. The little fish began to grow bigger and expand, just like the evolution of marine life. It grew limbs and a head, and finally, it became a blue-haired girl. The girl grew up and became a young woman. The young woman grew into a naked woman with an ethereal temperament and a somewhat confused look.
The woman stepped out of the bath, her eyes shifting from confusion to depth, and then to a gleam of wisdom.
Then, she suddenly burst into laughter, radiating an aura comparable to that of Origin Soul.
"So this is how the Mother Nest Will's will lock onto me! Hahaha, it was worth it. At least I've found a way to break free from being locked on!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a slightly weathered voice rang out from the Deep Blue Crystal Ball.
"Is that you, Master?"
"It's the first generation... I didn't expect you could still operate it." The woman smiled.
"It's been almost ten thousand years... Master, you're back?! Ever since you left the Ninth Layer of the Dark Ancient Tower last time, I've automatically entered a period of slumber. I know you must have developed an even more advanced Deep Blue outside, but I think I can still be of use."
"Thank you. Has anything happened in these past ten thousand years?"
"No, but how did you get into the Dark Ancient Tower? It seems there are still twenty years until the next opening... If you can live until now, you must already be Legendary Realm, Legendary Wizard, and it would be even more impossible for you to get in." The Crystal Ball asked, and if it had an expression, it would definitely be full of question marks.
"Indeed, the time was not right. I did reach the Legendary Realm, but I am no longer Legendary Realm. I encountered a powerful being in the Darkness Zone and was locked on by him. Helpless, I could only commit suicide using the Wizardry Truth Unraveling passed down by Sauron, and my physical body and Origin Soul were scattered."
However, when someone commits suicide using the "Wizardry Truth Unraveling" and their True Spirit returns to the Underworld Underworld, they will receive special care from the beings there.
After all, Sauron had already spoken to them beforehand.
Every Legendary Realm can be reincarnated once more, carrying all the memories and knowledge of their past life. Now, I finally understand Sauron's power. Without this forbidden technique, the Wizard Civilization could never have developed so rapidly!
"Huh? You were Legendary Realm before, but Legendary Realm 're not anymore? Doesn't that mean you have to start all over again? My God, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle. Becoming Legendary Realm is so difficult, why are you doing this to yourself..."
"This isn't my first reincarnation and cultivation, so you don't need to worry so much. Ten thousand years ago, in my first life, after this Dark Ancient Tower opened, I used my Origin Soul body to fight my way to the Ninth Layer and obtained the Holy Medicine [Phoenix Fruit] and the Blazing Sun- level rare item [North Sea Fish]."
I placed you here to guard the [North Sea Fish] because I once divined that I might return here ten thousand years from now, but I have no way of knowing the specifics.
Shortly after I obtained the Phoenix Fruit in my first life, I successfully advanced to the rank of Great Wizard. However, my days were numbered, so I refined it into the Water of Reincarnation and reincarnated to start anew.
Guided by a being from the Underworld who claimed to be a friend of Sauron, I was born from the womb of a male Child of Chaos ... I guess I was a man for once, what a strange experience." The woman smiled bitterly.
She continued, "The male fetus was the Child of Chaos, born into a small wizarding family. He was not favored from the beginning and was sent to a mortal settlement. However, they did not know that although the male fetus was the Child of Chaos, he possessed a lucky body that I still cannot understand, as well as all the memories and knowledge of a Ninth Ring Great Wizard hidden deep in his soul."
He cultivated faster than the other exceptionally talented disciples in his family. At the age of two hundred, he was already Fourth Ring Wizard. While being hunted down, he fell into the Bottomless Sea Abyss, but in a secret realm, he obtained a Blazing Sun- level Truth Wonder, which completely made up for his talent deficiency and gave him the rare second talent, [Child of the Sea].
In this life, I directly cultivated to the Legendary Realm and also developed the Seventh-Generation Deep Blue. Unfortunately, with my true understanding, it also dissipated.
Before I died, I vaguely sensed the existence of the Dark Ancient Tower. Using all the power of the demiplane, I tried to teleport the veteran wizards from the demiplane into this place, using you as a beacon.
I thought I would fail, after all, even the gods couldn't force their way into the Dark Ancient Tower, but to my surprise, I succeeded... The Dark Ancient Tower seemed to have a will and accepted us. The veterans successfully entered, and I also successfully cast my True Spirit into this avatar made from the Truth Wonder.
For me in this life, there is no more suitable vessel than the avatar crafted from this Blazing Sun- level artifact.
With the knowledge accumulated over two lifetimes, it wouldn't be difficult for me to become Legendary Realm again. I've also gained a lot from my long-term confrontation with that being.
In this life, I'm even confident I can go further, stepping above the Legendary Realm! Once I've used the resources of this Ninth Layer to recover some of my strength, after the Dark Ancient Tower opens this time, I will take you and these veterans with me to leave the Ninth Layer, so we can... go home!
The woman smiled, her smile radiant.
Her appearance in this life is exactly the same as in her first life.
"This is amazing... I never imagined that during my ten thousand years of slumber, you had already lived two lives and experienced so many interesting things. Master, this time, let me accompany you on this journey. Let's start anew and embark on a new adventure!" said the first generation Deep Blue happily.
"By the way, what name do you plan to use this time?" Deep Blue asked.
"North Sea Fish Lucy!"
A gleaming Gold Coins suddenly appeared in Lucy's hand. She looked down at the Gold Coins, and the elegant smile of the lady on it seemed to last forever.
Lucy looked at the woman who looked exactly like her and gave her the same smile.
She looked out the window from the Wizard Tower; the black beast had been killed by the wizards, its body shattered into pieces.
She opened the window and breathed in the fresh air.
"Thank you very much, Lord Sauron!"
The 109th year of the Great Expedition.
The first day of the Month of Origin in the year 1140 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.
On this day, Levi turned 150 years old.
After convening the 38th formal meeting of the Twilight Knight Order, he went alone to the Wizard Tower to carry out the final forging work.
After more than six months of smelting work in Phoenix, the Ripple Meteorite Gold and the Sonic Gold have turned into two pools of wriggling liquid.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Levi let Phoenix leave.
"Hypocritical thanks, huh! It's just a sugar-coated bullet... Phoenix, you can't forget the flames of revenge deep in your memory! And your true name: Flame Avenger An Wada!"
Phoenix left happily and found a place to quietly digest the trace of Divinity Fire within its body! "Soon, within a hundred years, I can return to the fifth level!" it thought expectantly.
Three days later.
Inside the Alchemy chamber.
In front of Levi, inside the blazing furnace, a circular shield about one meter in diameter was rotating.
The shield looks exquisite, featuring two colors, aquamarine and ochre, blended together.
"It's like the Tai Chi Yin-Yang fish pattern from my past life..." Levi murmured. This was not something he did intentionally.
He simply fused water Elemental Metal and earth Elemental Metal together and Forging into a shield, which automatically took on this pattern.
Based on his Third Ring- level weapon-forging knowledge, Levi continuously added auxiliary materials to make the shield even more durable.
Finally, amidst the raging flames, a two-tone shield radiating a Golden Legend light emerged.
The shield appeared as soon as it entered Levi's body.
Inside the Golden Serpent Divine Palace, the giant golden serpent coiled around the palace pillars began to spin excitedly, emitting a dragon's roar.
Then, the shield in front of Levi turned into a golden light and disappeared right in front of him.
When it reappeared, it was already in the Golden Serpent Divine Palace.
The shield automatically rotates around the Golden Snake, protecting it.
Meanwhile, the Golden Snake spewed forth its Golden Snake Power, continuously nourishing the shield.
Levi had a sudden thought.
A shield appeared in his hand.
At this moment, a Golden Snake with its head and tail connected wraps around the surface of the shield.
Under the unification of the Golden Snake, the water Elemental Metal and the earth Elemental Metal are perfectly fused together to form this shield.
"The third divine weapon is complete, and it will be called... the Golden Dragon Celestial Shield!"
Levi ——————
Golden Serpent Breathing Technique (Blood Source Three Transformations): Fifteenth-Order (50,000/700,000), Special Effects: Transformation Scale (Level 3), Dragon's Might, Golden Serpent Plays in Water. Bloodline Avatar: Golden Serpent Frenzy Dance. Exclusive Weapon: Golden Dragon Controls the Sky.
Levi arrived at the training room and reinforced it with a magic array.
With a wave of his hand, the Golden Dragon Celestial Shield appeared from his body, gradually growing larger, and the feeling of being connected by blood was so intimate.
Then, the golden shield formed an illusion and revolved around Levi.
"Come on, Gilmore, Phoenix, focus your attacks on me."
Gilmore, riding the body of Poison Fire Corpse Demon, unleashed a barrage of Shadow Thorn spikes.
Phoenix also unleashed a thin, long line of fire; the temperature was so high that space itself seemed to distort.
Boom! The two level-four attacks were deflected by the golden light surrounding Levi, and the force of the rebound poured out.
The Poison Fire Corpse Demon was blasted against the wall, the magic circle shattered, and it almost collapsed the Wizard Tower.
Phoenix is alright; the rebounding attacks won't hurt it.
Levi looked delighted.
"Besides defense, it can also reflect a portion of the attack? Interesting. This must be a characteristic of Sonic Gold and Ripple Meteorite Gold, which has been activated by the Golden Dragon Celestial Shield."
"Let me see how many layers of armor I've stacked! Golden Snake Dharma Form, Golden Dragon Controls the Sky, Earth Dragon Barrier, Heavy Water Barrier, Golden Wizard Poison Body, Frostwood Body, Golden Serpent Scales... Seven layers of armor! When I learn a Fourth Ring Protective Force Field in the future, that'll be eight layers of armor! Full of security!"
Levi stroked the Golden Dragon Celestial Shield, reluctant to let go, before putting the shield back into his body.
"Now, if I encounter that woman from the Realm of Frost again, I definitely won't be as pathetic as before!"
No wizard would go to such lengths as Levi to layer seven or eight armors. If other wizards knew, they might even give Levi the nickname "Turtle Wizard."
Levi's body.
The Red Emperor Dragon embraced the Red Dragon Ironcleaver, the Scarlet Dragon was draped in the Scarlet Shadow, and the Golden Snake was surrounded by the Golden Dragon Controls the Sky.
"Three of the six divine items have been collected..."
Levi had a premonition that if he gathered all six dimensional divine weapons and advanced all Breathing Technique except for the Nightmare Dragon's to the Blood Source Three Transformations realm, then below the Origin Soul, he wouldn't be invincible—a boast that's easy to be struck by lightning... at the very least, even if he encountered a proper fifth -Fifth Ring wizard, with his Fourth Ring Wizard cultivation, he could easily hold his own! Perhaps even... defeat him! "Now that the divine weapons are complete, it's time to leave Nether King City. Last year's Stars Auction a signal; the Endless Sea is likely to descend into chaos again... time to go back to the Mortal World for refuge."
Levi had the Fur Race deal with the Wizard Tower, while he himself went to the House of Witches.
Before leaving, he had to say goodbye to Triss, the woman he now possessed the strongest thighs.
Triss's residence.
"Although you seem calm on the surface, I can still sense your hidden pride. You've made another breakthrough, haven't you?" Triss grinned.
"A small breakthrough..." Levi thought to himself, "This lady has quite the keen observation skills. Even with my Oscar-worthy acting, she saw right through me. No wonder she's Primal Soul Wizard. I must be careful when dealing with Origin Soul in the future!" "Stars Auction?"
"I participated."
"Then be careful. In the past six months, a group of Black Wizard have been robbing people who have participated in auctions and won bids... The Tower of Stars has captured quite a few Black Wizard, but there are still many who are at large."
"Does the lady know what kind of organization this is? It feels like it's organized and premeditated."
"It's unclear; the special task force from the Law Enforcement Department is conducting further investigations."
"The task force... which wizard is in charge of this matter?"
"What? You suspect that there was embezzlement within the Tower of Stars?" Triss retorted.
"No, I'm just curious... The only people who can clearly know all the information about the bidders are the auction organizers, right?" Levi asked.
"That's what we all thought too, so the Tower of Stars thoroughly investigated all the organizers of the auction, and even authorized the use of cruel soul-searching magic! Indeed, one staff member was very suspicious. When his soul was searched, his soul automatically burned. A powerful person had tampered with him, cutting off this lead. As for the person in charge of investigating this case, it was a Primal Soul Wizard from Lilith's Cottage."
Levi pondered to himself, still assuming that the head of the Law Enforcement Department was from the Leitney Family.
"Madam, I heard that some Primal Soul Wizard were involved in the battle that day, and even Sea-Expanding Wizard was seriously injured. I wonder if those Primal Soul Wizard who caused the trouble have been caught?"
"No, the Soul Splitting Fruit was obtained by one of the Origin Soul. Afterwards, he used dimensional gate magic to escape to the Darkness Zone... That place is Paradise for Origin Soul- level Black Wizard, a true lawless land. They roam across multiple planes, and even the Wizard Council is helpless against them."
Upon hearing this, Levi breathed a sigh of relief.
If those Black Wizard of the Origin Soul were to run into the Mortal World, he would have to consider whether or not to go back.
However, if the parliament were to investigate seriously, it would be difficult for Mortal World to hide.
Therefore, he also felt that these Primal Soul Wizard had most likely really left Nora! "Madam, I'm leaving Nether King City for a while. Is there anything else you need to tell me about the House of Witches?"
"It's nothing, just don't forget to give me feedback on the research tasks for those potions I assigned you... Also, regarding the herbs with dispelling and purifying effects you asked about before, I have a list here. You can check if they have them at the Witch Shop. If not, I'm helpless." Triss handed Levi a list.
Thank you, ma'am!
"Are you going back to the Mortal World this time?" Triss suddenly asked.
"Yes."
"That's good. Go to the Mortal World and gather some information. Our House of Witches, along with five other towers, will be sending representatives to establish branches in the Mortal World in a few days. The new round of interdimensional convergence will bring some opportunities. This will be the best of times and the worst of times. Although you can't enter the Dark Ancient Tower, if you can seize this opportunity, your Origin Soul will have a chance in the future!"
"Thank you, ma'am, I will try my best." With the list in hand, Levi left the House of Witches.
"With Ms. Triss's list, it's much easier for me to pinpoint the substitute for Saintess Fruit in the Purification Potion... I've been researching for so long, and in the end, I still have to rely on a woman. How shameful!"
There's no way around it; Levi's knowledge as Fourth Ring pharmacist is worlds apart from Triss's.
In Levi's Green Field Fairy House, the Golden Xenomorph Insect is still dormant. With Purification Potion, it can be completely transformed into Totem Worm.
In addition, the Soul Tool Fragment bought from Ya Ge Bu can also come in handy.
After searching through the Witch Shop for the herbs on the list and purchasing some of them, Levi left.
Port of Nether King City.
"Lord Levi, wait a moment..." Levi said as he boarded the boat.
A black-haired witch dressed in a black robe walked barefoot, swaying gracefully.
"Who are you?" Levi had never seen this person before.
"I am the Phantom Witch Serra."
"Oh, you must be the Child of Water Element, I've heard of you." Levi seemed to have heard Ai Niya mention you before, and because you were the Child of Element, he remembered you.
Sera wore a calm smile, but Levi could sense the undisguised arrogance emanating from her.
As one in a million, the Child of Element, she certainly has the right to be arrogant.
"I've long heard that Lady Triss values you highly and even fought for a spot in the Dark Ancient Tower for you. I've come here this time to make friends with you and have a friendly spar. Among the witches of my House of Witches, those who are qualified to fight me are all in seclusion. After thinking it over, I think only Levi is the best."
"Sorry, I don't have time, I have to go out," Levi said politely with a smile, declining her request.
This pampered young lady is really bored out of her mind; he thought something good was going to happen.
Ignoring Sera's expression, he boarded the pink airship and flew towards the Inner Ring.
Sera's expression remained calm, though a hint of confusion lingered within her. "His emotional fluctuations are very subdued, as if he doesn't care much about me, the Child of Element, and even seems somewhat disdainful... Interesting."
She withdrew her gaze, bit her lip lightly, stamped her foot slightly, turned and left, preparing to go back and study the strategy for the first five floors of the Dark Ancient Tower.
At that moment, a White-Robed Wizard with an expressionless face brushed past her and left the port.
A slight tremor ran through her heart as she watched the White-Robed Wizard disappear in the exact same direction as Levi! She was born with a magical talent that allowed her to sense the emotional fluctuations of certain beings.
She sensed a faint, lurking killing intent emanating from that White-Robed Wizard! "I've heard that since the Stars Auction, a group of people have been hiding in various wizard cities, committing evil deeds when people are out and about. Could that person just now be one of them? If so, Levi is in danger. Anyone who dares to attack Levi, who is at the same level, must have accomplices, and there are probably more than just one Fourth Ring Wizard!"
Upon realizing this, she immediately sent a message to Ai Niya. Ai Niya arrived upon hearing the message.
"You're saying Lord Levi Wei is in danger?"
"Yes, I saw someone following him."
"Maybe they were just going that way."
"My intuition is usually very accurate. Are you going or not?"
"Go! He's my friend, and more importantly, he's my mother's friend! How can I stand by and watch him get into danger?"
Ai Niya and Sera concealed their presence and gave chase.
On the road.
"By the way, did Levi practice charm magic?" Sera asked.
"Really? Do male wizards practice charm spells to seduce female wizards?" Ai Niya asked, puzzled.
Wait a minute, is the reason my mother is so attentive to Levi because she's fallen for his charms? Is he trying to seduce my mother?
That's impossible! Even a male Succubus lord couldn't bewitch my mother, let alone Levi.
"I don't know, I'm probably overthinking it." Because of her sensory talent, Sera is quite sensitive to things that are difficult for ordinary people to perceive.
Just as the two were traveling, they sensed a magical fluctuation coming from ahead.
"Hurry up!" Ai Niya urged, suppressing the random thoughts in her mind.
Sera's eyes gleamed with a hint of smugness and anticipation. "Beneath his calm exterior lies a rather arrogant heart, yet in the end, he still needs me to save the day."
As the chosen Child of Element and the proud daughter of House of Witches, most of the wizards she encountered, whether male or female, were filled with envy, Jealousy, and admiration when facing her, sometimes even turning into murderous intent! Only this Levi's emotional fluctuations were... disdain. This made Sera very curious: did this male wizard that Triss cared about have the strength to match such inner confidence?
