Ice and Fire Converge to Shatter the Crystal; Rebuild the Origin Soul from the Ruins!

The year 1149 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowing Fire.

Inside the Alchemy workshop, Levi was busy at work.

Now he is Fourth Ring magic array wizard and Artifact Forging maker, and crafting Skywalker is not difficult for him.

In just two months, the former Tyrant III had become unrecognizable.

After Levi's original modifications and upgrades.

Skywalker was born.

From the first Corpse Digger to the Grave Digger, to the Wanderer, and now to the Skywalker.

The evolution of this Alchemy creature demonstrates the continuous improvement of Levi's weapon-refining skills.

Skywalker is only three meters tall, getting smaller and smaller compared to previous models.

On the one hand, it was because Skywalker wanted to pursue flexibility and mobility, so it abandoned some of the bulky components from before.

On the other hand, as Levi 'Alchemy knowledge improved and his wealth increased, he was able to manufacture lighter components.

Of course, the most important reason is that Elemental Metal are too rare, and the larger the volume, the higher the consumption of Elemental Metal.

Even if it's just a level three Elemental Metal, Levi can't afford to consume it.

As the saying goes, the essence is in the condensed form.

Compared to the previous Wanderer, Skywalker has greatly improved in both destructive power and mobility.

As a masterpiece of the wizard Lemay, it is known as the "strongest in the air, land, and sea" among the Fourth Ring Alchemy creatures, and this reputation is well-deserved.

The Skywalker was equipped with highly compressed elemental Alchemy cannons on both of his arms.

The two Elemental Metal that Levi used were fire and lightning.

It relies on the property of Elemental Metal to automatically absorb the power of the corresponding elements.

Levi forged two types of Alchemy cannons: the [Flame Emperor Cannon] and the [Thunder God Cannon]! The Flame Emperor Cannon can unleash fire elemental energy projectiles comparable to Fourth Ring burning spell, with an extremely high rate of fire and an effective range of up to two hundred miles, enough to shatter the force field of an ordinary Fourth Ring Wizard! Of course, because individuals in the Wizard World are so mobile and have such a wide range of methods, it may not be able to achieve the same high precision as in his previous life; it is mainly used as a means of suppressing fire.

The Thunder God Cannon is a means of attacking at medium and close range.

It launched a ball of explosive Thunder Plasma energy, which was extremely powerful and had an effective kill radius of several miles.

These two Alchemy cannons can recharge themselves when not in use.

Although the charging time is long, in the long run, it can save a lot of Great Stone.

Not only the firepower system, but the power system can also be automatically recharged.

This is why advanced Alchemy creatures use Elemental Metal.

Combined with a charging array, it's useful as long as it's not frequently used in combat.

Alchemy organisms can basically meet their own energy needs.

Of course, if the battle lasts too long, it will definitely require additional energy.

At this point, you can use Great Stone or Phoenix to fill the gap.

Besides the Alchemy Cannon, Skywalker is also equipped with a chainsaw-like greatsword on his back for combat, which Levi calls the "Flame Dragon Sword." It's as exaggerated as a door panel, serving as both a sword and a shield! The greatsword is primarily made of Sun Gold, mixed with some other Elemental Metal, and is used as a weapon for melee combat.

In addition, the Skywalker is also equipped with a level four magnetic field, which provides functions such as protection, flight, and traction.

There are countless other smaller features.

It can be said that he can be regarded as a Fourth Ring Wizard.

If they unleash their full power, even a senior Fourth Ring wizard could be killed!

"Not bad, the methods have become much more diverse. It's just a pity that Elemental Metal are too scarce. Otherwise, if I created ten Skywalker, even Fifth Ring wizard could fight them."

However, such a cost is too high. Levi calculated that the cost of one Skywalker is roughly equivalent to that of a top-grade Fourth Ring witch artifact.

One or two of these external items are enough; having more would be a waste.

After all, besides Alchemy creatures, Levi also had puppets like corpse demons.

Even if you have money, you should still spend it on improving your own abilities.

Next, Levi found a place.

The Tyrant IV fought the Blood Armor Corpse Demon once.

In the end, the Blood Armor Corpse Demon was actually suppressed by Tyrant IV.

It seems that flesh and blood are still inferior to Iron Body.

However, this was also because the Blood Armor Corpse Demon's attack methods were inferior to those of Tyrant IV. The blood weapons that Levi had crafted for it were all of the Third Ring level.

"It's time to set off. If we delay any longer, that person might sell out all the Black Flame Meteorite Iron."

For this trip, Levi only brought Tyrant IV, Phoenix, and the Strange Worm Leon.

As for the corpse demon puppets, he left them all at home to guard the Ancient Saint Plane.

The next day, he returned to the Mortal World.

Years ago, he had obtained the coordinates of the Crimson Realm's spatial gate from the old man who guarded the portal to the Endless Sea.

Not long after, he arrived at this place.

The passages between the Mortal World and the Wizard World are now fully open.

The one guarding the portal was a middle-aged wizard dressed in the flame-patterned robes commonly seen in the Combustion School.

Judging from the looks of it, this person is probably just starting out in the Third Ring area.

"Hello, I am Ron, the Gatekeeper. Please show me your identification." The Third-Ring Wizard sensed the powerful mental fluctuations of Levi and his expression changed.

For some reason, he felt like he had seen Levi somewhere before.

Levi smiled slightly and handed him the pass that had been prepared beforehand.

After confirming everything was in order, Ron let Levi go over.

"This Fourth Ring Wizard seems very young, and he looks familiar. Perhaps I've met him before when I was a guide."

Before becoming Gatekeeper, Ron was a low-level civil servant in the council responsible for guiding aspiring wizards to the Wizard World.

He had met too many people, and some of them were exceptionally talented and quickly surpassed him in wizarding skills.

He went from being a junior to being a senior.

He has become calm about this kind of thing.

A burst of light followed.

Levi opened his eyes and looked around.

The sky seemed to hold nine suns, shining through the ages.

Everything in sight was crimson red—mountains and land alike.

"Nine suns hang in the sky, Crimson Realm!"

Levi murmured, somewhat shocked.

The so-called nine days do not refer to nine suns.

Instead, they are nine colossal witch cities floating high in the sky, so high that all the wizards in the region can see them.

Each witch city represents a top-tier wizarding power comparable to the Six Towers of the Endless Sea.

In the Crimson Realm, there are nine such top-tier wizarding forces!

This means that all nine factions have produced, and some even still have, powerful figures at the level of Great Wizard.

However, due to the council's regulations, Great Wizard and Legendary Wizard are basically located in the Central Realm, holding high positions and responsible for competing with other powerful beings from other Pan-dimensional world who are eyeing the Wizard World.

Therefore, the cradles of various schools of thought rarely produce Great Wizard.

Levi stepped out of the Subspace Teleportation Gate.

"The last time I saw that gatekeeper wizard Ron was over a hundred years ago. Back then, he was the one who assigned us to the various schools... Now I'm Fourth Ring Wizard, while he's only Third Ring. It really feels like a lifetime ago."

Levi Heart Sense, not because he looked down on others.

I only achieved such rapid success because I had Proficiency Panel.

If it weren't for the character panel, with his talent as the Child of Chaos, he would at most be a Second-Ring Wizard right now.

Levi took out a stone slab.

This is a map of parts of the Crimson Realm that he obtained from the Rose Witch, along with information about some factions.

Compared to the Endless Sea, the Crimson Realm is not large in area, but its overall strength is no less than that of the Crimson Realm Endless Sea, and may even surpass it!

After all, the current Grand Council President, Eamon, hails from here.

In addition, there is also the Dragon Flame God Wizard Rego.

The power structure of the entire Crimson Realm can be described as "Nine Cities Ten Caves, Twenty-Four Mountains".

The Nine Cities are nine powerful wizarding organizations floating high in the sky.

They united to form the law enforcement organization of the Crimson Realm:

Nine Cities Alliance.

High in the heavens, there exists the most refined and advanced power of fire element:

The power of the Heavenly Fire element!

For the Combustion Faction wizards, this kind of elemental power training is the most effective, and the spells they can cast are also the strongest.

However, so far, only nine major organizations have the capability to build such a colossal city high in the sky.

If you look closely, you can see that around those giant cities, there seems to be a golden light that extends out and radiates continuously, just like the sun.

In reality, those golden lights were actually part of a massive magic array designed to absorb the elemental power of the heavenly fire and supply it to the cultivators within the city.

Without this conversion technology, even at the highest level, it would be very difficult to absorb the rich power of the Heavenly Fire element!

Those who are able to enter the Nine Cities for cultivation are all geniuses of the Combustion Faction in the Wizard World, or are either rich and powerful.

With the power of "heavenly fire element", there is also the power of "earthly fire element".

The power of earth and fire elements is relatively weaker.

Ten caves.

These are ten giant lava caves located at the heart of the Crimson Realm.

Ten High-Rank Wizard organizations, second only to the Nine Cities, reside there and practice.

The earth and fire elemental power within these caves is extremely concentrated.

The next Twenty-Four Mountains are twenty-four giant volcanic clusters scattered throughout the Crimson Realm.

It is also occupied by High-Rank Wizard organizations.

The elemental power of the earth and fire in it is somewhat weaker than that in the Ten Caves.

Further down are the lower- and mid-level wizard factions, gathered in the usual fire elemental lands.

These good and bad are all relative.

For the vast majority of the Combustion School wizards.

These "Nine Cities Ten Caves Twenty-Four Mountains" are all sacred places for spiritual practice.

Entering any one of them would be enough to bring glory to our ancestors.

The place Levi was heading to was the "Flame Mountain" among the Twenty-Four Mountains.

This is Witch City, which is presided over by several Primal Soul Wizard. Below Witch City, in this volcanic cluster, there are dozens of wizard markets of various sizes.

Levi's destination was one of these markets.

As Knight of Hogg, he could only wander around in such a loose wizarding market; he certainly couldn't get into a real wizarding organization.

After looking at the map, he realized that he was in "Fire Crocodile City," a medium-sized witch city under the Nine Cities Alliance.

Under the reforms of the Blazing Sun God Wizard, the Crimson Realm's wizarding organizations are now divided based on Wizard Cities.

Small witch cities are low-level witch organizations.

And so on.

Large witch cities are all high-level organizations, just like "ten caves Twenty-Four Mountains".

Further up lies the detached and otherworldly "Nine Cities".

This was Levi's biggest feeling after arriving in the Crimson Realm.

The atmosphere here is completely different from that of the Endless Sea.

The Endless Sea is more free and diverse, and extremely inclusive.

Here, things seem more professional and focused.

"Please register."

As we walked out of the Teleportation Gate Management Office, a staff member said.

"OK."

After doing so, Levi left the place.

Although Fire Crocodile City is a medium-sized city, it is quite powerful.

A wizard with Fifth Ring resides here, known as the "Fire Crocodile City Lord".

"My lord wizard, is this your first time visiting Fire Crocodile City?" a short wizard asked.

"Yes, I want to go to the Flame Mountain. Does Fire Crocodile City have airship flights that go there? Or do you know where I can buy a complete map of the entire Crimson Realm?"

With a slight sense, Levi discovered that this male wizard was High-Grade Wizard Apprentice. He seemed to be a street urchin who made a living by acting as a guide for wizards who had just arrived from out of town. There were many such people in the Endless Sea.

He handed the other man a piece of Great Stone, and the male wizard immediately became respectful.

With his level of mental strength, he could only sense that Levi's mental strength was as vast as the ocean, and that he was definitely a wizard of the Second Ring or above, but he couldn't see the specific level.

"Thank you, sir, but there are currently no flights from Fire Crocodile City to Flame Mountain..."

"This Fire Crocodile City must be an important port city in the Crimson Realm, otherwise they wouldn't have set up a teleportation gate here. Flame Mountain is also a big city, doesn't it have flights?" Levi asked.

The short male wizard smiled wryly, "Originally there were, but after the century-long war between Black-White wizards, the flight routes to Fire Crocodile City have been severely affected and have not yet fully recovered."

However, you could visit the Fire Crocodile Merchant Guild. It's the largest merchant guild in the city and frequently travels to major cities for trade. I suspect they might have the map you need. You can also pay someone from the guild to take you there.

Upon hearing this, Levi turned and headed towards the merchant guild. Hogg had come to the Flame Mountain with the caravan.

However, Levi thought that would be too slow, so he decided to buy a map and get there himself.

The short wizard happily left the place.

Just as he reached the corner, a bald wizard in a red robe appeared in front of the short male wizard, blocking his way. This was a Formal Wizard.

"Kid, hand over the money," he asked with a sneer.

"This is what I earned..." the short wizard said reluctantly.

Formal Wizard exudes a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation.

The short male wizard looked grim, then reluctantly handed the Great Stone to him and fled in panic.

Gazing in the direction where Levi had disappeared, the bald wizard murmured to himself.

"This wizard's strength is probably above the Third Ring, and he seems to be a newcomer."

"He can casually spend a Great Stone, which means he's not short of money. He's a good target."

In the understanding of the bald wizard and many of the Combustion School wizards.

As a powerful, Formal Wizard, it is your honor to ask a mere Wizard Apprentice for directions.

Normally, no one would give these Wizard Apprentice money.

In his view, Levi's actions were simply foolish and wasteful.

According to the custom in the Endless Sea where Levi lives, even a lowly Wizard Apprentice will be rewarded if they are of help to me.

These are details of cultural differences between different schools of thought and different regions.

Once upon a time, a wizard from the Oceanic School published a paper.

He said it might be due to the different properties of the elements.

In comparison, Oceanic School wizards are more gentle and tolerant, Earth School wizards are more composed and profound.

The Combustion School and the Thunder School are more volatile and easily angered, while the Frost School is colder and more indifferent.

Of course, there is no scientific basis for this; he simply analyzed the crime rates of various schools of thought.

Indeed, the Ocean and Earth School wizards have the lowest crime rate, far lower than the Burning and Thunder Faction.

In the Endless Sea, the Burning and Thunder Faction wizards, who make up only one percent of the Oceanic School, constitute one-tenth of the Black Wizard community.

As for the Death School wizards, they are often jokingly referred to as the "Black Wizard School" by many other schools of thought.

Some people call death spells "black magic," saying that only the devil would use them.

There's no way around it; dealing with corpses and negative energy every day inevitably affects one's personality.

Of course, this argument was quickly refuted by the Wizard Council.

The Combustion Faction wizards, led by the Blazing Sun God Wizard, and the Death School wizards both claimed that this was absolute "school discrimination"! Crime is only related to an individual's qualities, psychology, morality, and the environment in which they live, and has absolutely nothing to do with objective, equal, and neutral elements! Then the scholar who made this statement immediately retracted the paper.

However, he later disappeared without a trace and died unexpectedly.

In Fire Crocodile City.

The bald wizard disappeared into the street.

At the Fire Crocodile Merchant Guild.

Levi stroked his arm, his eyes calm and undisturbed.

"Hello, I'd like to buy a complete map of the Crimson Realm," Levi asked. "If you don't have one, a map of the route to the Demon Pool Cave will also be fine."

Hogg said that the Demon Pool Cave is not far from the Flame Mountain.

Levi didn't mention the Flame Mountain because he was worried about revealing his true destination to some people with ulterior motives.

As a newcomer, one must be cautious! The head of the chamber of commerce is a red-haired witch who is dressed provocatively, revealing her bronze belly and long legs.

"Please wait a day or two. There have been too many wizards coming to the Crimson Realm lately. Only the Nine Cities Alliance has the right to publish the map of the entire realm. We are currently out of stock."

This witch was Third-Ring Wizard. She could sense that Levi's mental strength far surpassed her own, so he must be Fourth Ring Wizard.

In this Fire Crocodile City, this is an absolute powerhouse, hence her exceptionally respectful tone.

"Are there any major events in the Crimson Realm during this time?" Levi asked.

He had to stay away from any major events to avoid being targeted by that mysterious force.

"Not really... It's just that since the Legendary Wizard Luther of the Oceanic School fell, our Combustion School seems to be able to attract more new wizards with Fire Element Affinity."

After all, Legendary Wizard are the face of a school of thought, and the Oceanic School is generally not favored these days.

The Thunder School, a new school of thought that emerged later than the four traditional schools, is led by two Legendary Realm.

Upon hearing this, Levi Heart Sense. The fall of the Deep Blue Sage, like a butterfly, had caused many unexpected consequences.

At that very moment.

A sorcerer with an effeminate appearance, dressed in a white robe, arrived here.

He exuded the spiritual energy fluctuations of Fourth Ring. As soon as he entered, he said coldly, "The Third Ring magical artifact I bought from your merchant guild some time ago broke after only three days of use. How does your merchant guild deal with such a flawed magical artifact?"

After he finished speaking, he took out a disc-shaped magical artifact and showed it to the witch.

At the same time, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally drifted towards Levi beside him.

Levi remained calm, turned and left, found a hotel, and settled in.

"Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and invite our chamber of commerce's Artifact Forging. If it is indeed a quality issue on our part, we will give you an explanation."

The Fourth Ring Wizard were all major clients, so the witch quickly sent a message to the Artifact Forging.

After communicating with the Artifact Forging, they discovered that the White-Robed Wizard had disappeared.

"Really... are you kidding me? Just because you have high cultivation level doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!" she thought indignantly.

The magical artifacts that the White-Robed Wizard mentioned were not sold by their merchant guild at all!

the next day.

While waiting, Levi silently cultivated in Fire Crocodile City.

Within his mind, in the Law Ring Holy Tower, another liquid spiritual star lit up.

Levi's mental strength had reached a staggering 274 points! "It seems that I can achieve mental strength perfection within fifty years."

Levi said to himself.

In addition, on the Law Ring Holy Tower.

The pattern of the purple dragon became more solid and lifelike.

This is the talent Spell Model for Thunder Dragon Flash.

Levi ——————

Thunder Dragon Flash: Ninth Rank (1/150000).

"Thunder Dragon Flash, it's already at the Ninth Rank... No wonder it's Fourth Ring talent, its cultivation is so slow."

After reaching the Ninth Rank, the speed of Thunder Dragon Flash increases even further.

Its speed is already comparable to that of the Scarlet Shadow.

After all, the Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique is currently only at the Blood Source Second Transformation level.

"The cultivation of innate spells is not something that can be accomplished in a day; it requires slow and careful refinement. This is the most important method for intermediate-level wizards. Once I reach the peak of the Fifth Ring and master the Nine Innate Spells, I will combine them with my Knight's Way, Rune Words, and other methods."

My skill level should be among the top in the Fifth Ring!

However, the gap between the Fifth Ring and the Origin Soul is too huge.

Even a Fifth Ring wizard with nine talents is still no match for Origin Soul.

In addition to their innate spells, Primal Soul Wizard can also cast Origin Soul spells.

With every gesture, he wielded the elemental power of heaven and earth, making him seem like a celestial being from a past life.

Primal Soul Wizard can even create a [Primal Soul Wizard Form], which possesses incredible supernatural powers.

These are all qualitative changes, it's truly something to look forward to! What will my Primal Soul Wizard Form be?

Later.

After the Thunder Dragon Flash breakthrough.

Levi's Strength Rune have also successfully reached the Eighth Rank.

The runes have brought a terrifying 70% power boost!

Furthermore, the Chariot Rune is at the late stage of Seventh Rank, while the Lovers Rune, which is the last rune to be learned, is still at the Fourth Order level.

"That's great, your strength has improved a lot again."

Being in an unfamiliar place makes me feel really insecure.

The third day.

Fire Crocodile Merchant Guild.

Two Fourth Ring Wizard arrived here.

They were dressed in standard robes embroidered with fire crocodile patterns, clearly law enforcers from Fire Crocodile City.

"Tell us the identities of the Fourth Ring Wizard who have been here in the past few days. We've received information that a Black Wizard has infiltrated Fire Crocodile City," one of the enforcers said.

The witch was startled and quickly did as she was told.

The incident alarmed the law enforcement officers of the Fourth Ring Road, indicating that this Black Wizard must be someone of considerable importance.

Was it the out-of-town wizard who wanted to buy the map that day? Or was it that White-Robed Wizard was deliberately picking a fight?

She told the law enforcement officers everything that had happened.

"Fourth Ring Wizard, middle-aged, and somewhat burly, is he perhaps heading to the Demon Pool Cave?" one of the enforcers pondered.

afternoon.

Levi was practicing meditation in the inn.

Suddenly he opened his eyes and found the innkeeper being questioned by two wizards.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door outside his magic circle.

"Come in."

Levi released the magic array.

The two wizards sized up Levi, and one of them said, "We are law enforcers from Fire Crocodile City, and public officials under the Nine Cities Alliance. Please show us your identification."

"This is my Identity Plate, and this is my Crimson Realm pass..." Levi handed the entire set of documents to the two people.

He asked the Rose Witch to arrange all of this for him at the House of Witches.

As major organizations under the Wizard Council, there's definitely no problem.

"So you're a friend from the House of Witches. Sorry to bother you." The enforcer's expression changed slightly as he returned the identification to Levi and turned to leave.

Fire Crocodile City.

Inside the burning Wizard Tower, a middle-aged wizard dressed in a gold-embroidered crocodile robe emerged from the laboratory.

Two law enforcement officers were standing there waiting.

"Lord, we haven't found the Black Wizard of the Blood Fire Magic Tower. We've checked all the Fourth Ring Wizard in the city, and I suspect he's already left the city."

"Have there been any suspicious individuals during this period?" the city lord asked.

"There's a Fourth Ring Wizard from the Endless Sea, who's also an outsider from the House of Witches. His identity is fine, but we don't know what he's doing here."

"Then forget it. That Black Wizard was probably just passing by. We've done our duty and reported it to our superiors. Our city is fine." The city lord waved his hand, dismissing them.

He returned to his Wizard Tower, set up the magic circles, and then took out a small red bottle.

He opened the bottle, and a flame shot out.

In the firelight, a red cicada the size of a thumb poked its head out.

This red cicada seemed to be composed of runes and flames, and its entire body was translucent. Wizard Apprentice might have his mental energy explode if he looked at it for too long.

Because this is Truth Wonder of the earth's level.

The Cicada's Chirp!

Even as Fifth Ring wizard, he was extremely excited at this moment.

According to the "Strange Object Illustrated Handbook" that he consulted.

The Cicada's Chirp is among the finest of all wonders of the earth.

It ranks similarly to "Water Dragon's Chant," which appeared in the Endless Sea a few years ago.

Refining it yields three main functions:

It amplifies the power of fire elemental spells, slightly increases the upper limit of mental power, and creates a Third Ring level fire-type talent spell.

Of course, this is on the premise that it is refined before the Origin Soul takes shape; once the Origin Soul is fixed, it will have no effect.

"Truth has favored me. I have cultivated for six hundred years, from a Mortal World boy to an old man in the Wizard World. Although I have become Fifth Ring wizard, I have left many regrets... I only regret that my talent is average. During the Third Ring period, I only mastered two talent spells before hastily advancing to the Fourth Ring. Now that I am a Fifth Ring wizard, when I fight with others, I am at a great disadvantage compared to those wizards who mastered three talent spells from the beginning."

The Third Ring, the Fourth Ring, and the Fifth Ring are the three natural wonders.

The easiest thing to achieve is the three talents during the Third Ring period.

After that, getting three talents at the Fourth Ring is one in ten thousand, and at the Fifth Ring, they are extremely rare.

By now, he has reached the Fifth Ring, but he has only mastered two Third Ring talents, two Fourth Ring talents, and one Fifth Ring talent.

If it were merely a matter of falling into a lower level in a battle of magic, it wouldn't be a big problem for Fire Crocodile City Lord.

Most importantly, he recently heard a claim from a senior Origin Soul, the truth of which he was unsure.

Recent, yet unpublished and unconfirmed research indicates...

After reaching the peak of the Fifth Ring, one advances to the Origin Soul stage.

In addition to the six basic talents, for each additional Third Ring talent learned, the success rate of advancing to the Origin Soul increases by 3%, for Fourth Ring talents it increases by 4%, and for Fifth Ring talents it increases by 5%!

In other words, a wizard with nine talents has an extra 12% higher success rate when advancing to Origin Soul than one with six talents! For advancing to Origin Soul, every 1% increase in success rate is a huge victory!

What about 12%? It's just a pity that he didn't strive for perfection and just let it slide.

Now, the only way to make amends is through the Truth Wonder of truth, which can give birth to extraordinary talents.

The Cicada's Chirp is such a treasure.

"To create Fourth Ring innate spell, one needs a Sky-level Truth Wonder... In the Wizard World today, obtaining an Earth-level one has already exhausted my luck over six hundred years."

To reach the Sky level, one would need to venture into the Dark Ancient Tower or explore planes untouched by wizards. With my ordinary Fifth Ring strength, it's far beyond my reach.

However, I'm already quite satisfied. Next, I'll refine it to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Fire Crocodile City Lord immediately went into seclusion and opened the wondrous object.

The crimson fire cicada flapped its wings and flew high, trying to escape the Wizard Tower.

He blocked them with a magic array.

"Essentially nothing more than a lifeless object with a little bit of spirit, yet you dare to dream of flying out of my palm... Do you think you're Blazing Sun- level wonder?"

He snorted coldly, and a giant hand made of flames grabbed the Crimson Cicada.

He couldn't wait to internalize it.

With his Fifth Ring strength, refining this earth-level treasure wouldn't take him long.

As he mentally processed the strange object, a strange, hoarse cicada chirp rang out.

"Fire Crocodile City Lord, you've truly been blinded by this strange object. You couldn't even see me hiding inside... Hahaha, your body is mine now!" A strange laugh echoed in his mind.

A phantom blood-red figure emerged from the Crimson Cicada's abdomen and appeared in the Fire Crocodile City Lord's sea of consciousness.

He looked at the fiery red spiritual energy crystal of the Fire Crocodile City Lord, and the soul lingering on the crystal.

"Fifth Ring Talent: Blood Shadow Soul Seizure!"

"You... you are the Blood Demon Tower Master? Didn't you self-destruct and die? How could you possess someone else's body? This is a skill only Origin Soul can possess!" The soul of the Fire Crocodile City Lord cried out in fear.

"You're ignorant. There are countless spells in this world, and there are bound to be some that a country bumpkin like you wouldn't even think of." The blood-red figure pounced on the soul of the Fire Crocodile City Lord, transforming into a blood-red demon, opening its blood-red maw, and frantically devouring the soul of the Fire Crocodile City Lord.

The Fire Crocodile City Lord was not to be outdone and fought back with all his might.

"Give up struggling. Thirty years ago, I was already a senior wizard of the Fifth Ring. Your mental strength and soul are far inferior to mine! I'll show you that there are differences even among the Fifth Ring."

If it weren't for the eight talent-enhancing enforcers from the Nine Cities Alliance leading the way, do you think you could destroy my Blood Fire Magic Tower, which has been passed down for ten thousand years, with your strength? My Demon Tower has guarded the "Blood Cocoon Pool" for ten thousand years, just to wait for this Truth Wonder to appear in the world! You think you can even lay a finger on it?

"A bunch of hypocritical bastards! Those enforcers of the Nine Cities Alliance probably don't know you're hoarding this Truth Wonder, do they? What white wizard... Bah! Black-White; we're on the same path!"

"Ahhh, Blood Demon Tower Master, you are truly despicable and cunning! You knew you were no match for that enforcer, so you deliberately self-destructed in front of him, but you had already secretly hidden your soul in the Truth Wonder, luring me to take you away, and then you took advantage of my unpreparedness to possess me!" Fire Crocodile City Lord shouted unwillingly.

"You're right, but it's too late. Die!"

Fourth Ring Talent: Blood Demon Soul Devour! Accompanied by a terrifying chewing sound at the soul level.

The soul of the Fire Crocodile City Lord was being devoured little by little, and his struggles grew weaker and weaker.

Inside the Wizard Tower.

Fire Crocodile City Lord's expression was serene.

Little did they know, within the sea of consciousness, a perilous battle of souls raged between the Fifth Ring!

It was evening.

The Fire Crocodile City Lord suddenly opened his eyes, and his appearance and temperament were exactly the same as before.

However, that eerie smile revealed that he was no longer the original city lord.

"My Blood Fire Magic Tower's ancestors were an organization that gave birth to Origin Soul... My Blood Demon's life is tough."

A crimson fire cicada appeared in his hand.

"Unfortunately, my Third Ring talent is already maxed out... After refining, apart from a negligible increase in mental strength, there is no substantial improvement."

He stretched out his right hand, with crimson flames flowing within it.

A small black tower floated on the water.

"Fortunately, I was prepared in advance. This Blood Cocoon Pool, which nurtures the Cicada's Chirp, was originally brought out from the Fifth Layer of the Dark Ancient Tower by the ancestors of the Blood Fire Magic Tower ten thousand years ago, and it is not complete..."

People generally believe that the Cicada's Chirp is merely a wondrous Truth Wonder, but they are unaware that it resides on the Fifth Layer of that Dark Ancient Tower.

This [Cicada's Chirp] has the potential to evolve into its true form, a Sky-level wonder: [Cicada's Lament]! Transforming from summer to winter, from fire attribute to a mutated Frost attribute! This journey to the Dark Ancient Tower will be my Blood Demon's time to shine. With the Cicada's Lament, when I reach the peak of the Fifth Ring, I can...

Ice and fire clashed, shattering the crystals; from destruction came the forging of the Origin Soul!

In the darkness, eerie, grotesque laughter echoed incessantly.

The next day.

Levi arrived at the Fire Crocodile Merchant Guild and successfully obtained the map.

He checked around and found that Fire Crocodile City was quite far from the Flame Mountain.

Hogg is quite fast.

However, based on Levi's normal flying speed, he estimated that it would take about seven days to reach the Flame Mountain.

After leaving Fire Crocodile City, Levi took a secluded route and traveled silently.

His gaze gradually turned cold, and eventually filled with murderous intent.

He calmed himself down and arrived at a deserted mountain area.

The mountains here are also crimson red, covered with plants similar to maple forests, a vibrant and fiery red.

He descended from the sky and disappeared into the red forest.

Not long after.

Two beams of fire appeared here, and within the firelight, the figures of two people emerged.

They looked around, their mental energy sweeping across the area.

One of them was none other than the White-Robed Wizard had appeared at the Fire Crocodile Merchant Guild that day, Fourth Ring level wizard.

There was another one, also Fourth Ring Wizard, who had never appeared in Fire Crocodile City.

Judging from their appearance, they must be a gang.

"Blood Ghost, is that fat sheep from the Endless Sea really a Fourth Ring Wizard? Why did we lose track of him?"

"Red Eye, you're questioning my judgment. We didn't lose him. He must have used some kind of concealment method to hide here!" Blood Ghost Brolo sneered. "Let me use an area-of-effect spell to force him out... But let's make it clear first, I'm the one who found him. After that, the profits are split 60/60, you get 40/40!"

Red Eye Rochi laughed and said, "I understand. Let's take him down first... I have a feeling that the kid must have realized we were following him, and then used an escape spell to escape at a cost."

As he spoke, a crimson light flashed in Roach's eyes.

This is the Third Ring innate spell he cultivated: Scarlet Flame True Eye.

Although this spell is not good for actual combat, it can see through illusions, mazes, and some concealment techniques.

If that little lamb were still here, it wouldn't be able to escape his watchful eye! "Whether it escaped or not, I'll find out soon enough." In the blink of an eye, Brock unleashed a torrent of blood flames, spreading for miles, even tens of miles.

Fourth Ring Talent: Boundless Blood Sea! His spell has average attack power, but a very wide range!

The next moment.

Accompanied by a sneer.

Behind Blow, the void rippled, and a figure quietly appeared.

"Careful!"

Luo Qi's expression changed, and his Scarlet Flame True Eye shot out two beams of fire towards the figure.

The figure neither dodged nor avoided.

Before the fire could touch him, a Golden Snake, circling and dancing, rose into the air to protect him.

The bullets were deflected and reflected into Roach's eyes.

"Aaaaaah, my eyes!" Roach clutched his eyes, groaning in pain! He clearly hadn't expected this person to be able to deflect his magical attacks.

Even if it's only a portion of the attack power, it's still the human eye, the most vulnerable part of the body!

He endured the excruciating pain and lowered his hands, blood gushing from his eyes.

On the other side.

Bro sensed danger and his expression changed drastically.

The blood flames quickly receded, swirling around him to form Protective Force Field.

At the same time, his white robe was also shimmering with light, clearly indicating that it was also a Fourth Ring defensive magical artifact.

"Break!"

Pfft

The Red Dragon Ironcleaver! The Red Emperor Dragon Fifteenth-Order, and with its Strength Rune having just broken through, its power had greatly increased! This was just an ordinary force field.

Levi didn't even need to use the Flame Dragon True Body Form.

It can be easily broken.

The Fourth Ring magical artifact below struggled against the sword energy for a moment before being pierced, clearly indicating that it was only of ordinary quality.

"What?"

At that moment, Bro and Roach's expressions changed drastically.

With a single strike, it shattered Fourth Ring force fields and a magical artifact! "Fifth Ring wizard? Impossible! This mental energy fluctuation is even weaker than mine!" Bro couldn't understand.

"This person actually cultivates both body refinement and magic! Blood Ghost... you've done me a great disservice! You can keep this little fat sheep for yourself!"

Although he was blind, he still had mental strength. After seeing the dense body-refining runes on Levi's body, he was able to see them clearly.

Rocchi, who had been Blood Ghost to cooperate, was completely numb.

Those who cultivate both body-refining and magical arts at the Fourth Ring are geniuses, even rarer than Child of Element in some ways! Has this Blood Ghost lost his mind? After waiting for half a day, he chose such a troublesome opponent? He's really courting death! Luo Qi quickly transformed into a streak of fire and was about to disappear.

The next moment, a sharp figure descended from the sky, the chainsaw sword roaring as it shattered the flames!

Tyrant IV!

Behind the Tyrant, Phoenix unfurled his ten-foot-long fiery wings, looking incredibly cool! At the same time, the Thunder God Cannon exploded, and a dense electric net covered several miles in radius! Roach's body went numb; at this moment, his heart was filled with nothing but fear and regret.

The target was indeed a fat sheep, but the problem was it was way too fat! Dual cultivation was one thing, but to have such a powerful Alchemy creature protecting them was another!

This is definitely a prodigy from a powerful force who has come out to gain experience! On the other side, Levi, with the dying Blood Ghost still alive, came to Roach, who had been beaten up by the Tyrant, and grabbed him again.

"I will only ask the next question once."

Do you want to live? Or do you want to die?

Behind Levi, the Oath Sword slowly emerged.

"Live! I want to live!" Roach said hurriedly.

"Me too! Don't kill me... I'm from the Blood Fire Magic Tower... I know the whereabouts of a Truth Wonder, I don't want to die."

Levi felt calm.

These wizards are really spineless.

In this respect, he is inferior to those simple-minded but physically strong noble Knight in the Mortal World.

The Knight have won a game!

"Wait... you just said, Truth Wonder?"
