Fusion! Deep Blue Body!

The Crimson Realm.

Red Leaf Mountain Range.

Levi, along with the two prisoners, found a temporary Sanctuary and concealed it with a magic array.

Both of them had already sworn an oath under the Oath Sword.

Unless they want to be killed by the Oath Sword, the probability of them suddenly betraying them is not high.

But while it may not be large, it is not nonexistent; such a contract is ultimately no match for the domineering Scarlet Contract.

So Levi remained cautious and on guard at all times.

If they dare to make a move, all nine layers of his defenses will light up.

To let them know what despair is? That's why Levi wanted to spare their lives.

One aspect is to figure out the forces behind them.

On the other hand, he felt that he needed to find some workers for the Seven Kings Hell Magic Array.

Wizards are clearly a better fit than supernatural beings.

"Speak, are you two from the Blood Fire Magic Tower? Who ordered you?" Levi looked at them with an unfriendly expression.

"I'm not from the Blood Fire Magic Tower. I'm Rogue Wizard who was brought here by the Blood Ghost. He said you're a little fat sheep, and an outsider. He wants to kill you here quietly so that the forces over there won't find out," said Red Eye Rochi.

"Don't make false accusations. I just thought this friend looked impressive and wanted to make friends," the Blood Ghost quickly explained.

"So you weren't sent by the Blood Fire Magic Tower?" Levi frowned.

Levi had dealt with the Blood Fire Magic Tower organization before, back in the Endless Sea.

There was a Fourth Ring Wizard named Blood Flame Devil Wizard who started a Red Robe Wizard Society and tried to rob me, but I wiped them all out.

Later, from the things he left behind, Levi learned of the existence of the Blood Fire Magic Tower, a Fifth Ring Black Wizard Organization.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving in the Crimson Realm, he found himself targeted by this organization once again.

Fate is truly a wonderful thing.

"Friend... no, senior, I really have no reason to lie. You can ask around in Fire Crocodile City or the surrounding cities. The Blood Fire Magic Tower organization is gone. I'm Rogue Wizard now, and I'm trying to reform myself... To be honest, before I did this job with you, I had already decided that after this, I would leave the Crimson Realm, go to the Endless Sea to find a peaceful volcanic island, open a small Artifact Forging shop, and live out the rest of my life there," the Blood Ghost said.

"Stop causing trouble in the Endless Sea. After I finish my business, I can give you two a chance to turn over a new leaf. If you behave well in the future, you might even regain your freedom," Levi said with a genuine smile.

Blood Ghost and Red Eye exchanged a glance and said, "As long as you don't send us to the Nine Cities Alliance... The Nine City Great Prison is no place for humans."

"Now let's talk about the Truth Wonder. If you dare to lie to me... I happen to have some extraordinary creatures in heat, and I wouldn't mind letting you experience what bestial desire is like." Levi's tone suddenly turned cold.

Hearing the threat in Levi's words, Blood Ghost hurriedly said, "I saw this with my own eyes, it is absolutely true. Some time ago, an enforcer from the Nine Cities Alliance, the city lord of Fire Crocodile City, and several other Fifth Ring wizards joined forces to launch a sneak attack on my Blood Fire Magic Tower... Our tower master, Blood Demon Wizard, was forced to self-destruct and die."

As I fled in the chaos, I passed through a forbidden area of our organization and discovered that the city lord of Fire Crocodile City was capturing a crimson fire cicada. At the time, I didn't know what it was, but later, after some research, I discovered that it was actually the legendary Truth Wonder, the Cicada's Chirp! My strength was too weak, and I was only concerned with escaping, so I don't know what happened afterward. I don't know if the city lord obtained the artifact, but I heard that he had been in seclusion recently, presumably refining it.

After the Blood Ghost finished explaining everything, bound by the oath sworn by the Oath Sword, he indeed could not deceive Levi.

Levi recalled the information he had found about the Truth Wonder.

There is indeed such a strange object.

However, judging from the information, this strange object seems to be similar to the Water Dragon's Chant, also giving birth to a Third Ring talent.

Levi already has all Third Ring of talent, so he doesn't need to use them.

On the contrary, the slight increase in mental strength limit is most useful to Levi.

However, offending a Fifth Ring white wizard for this would be a losing proposition.

Moreover, the Fire Crocodile City Lord, being a wizard of the Combustion Faction, might have already refined it.

Seeing that Levi's expression was completely calm, the Blood Ghost assumed that Levi looked down on the Earth-level rare artifact and felt uneasy.

"Hand over all your Storage Bag and such," Levi said.

Both the Blood Ghost and the Red Eye wore expressions of pain as they reluctantly took them out.

Levi counted them and found that the total value of the Great Stone was only a few hundred thousand.

Nothing else is worth much.

In the end, he did the math and realized that even though they were Fourth Ring Wizard, they weren't as rich as Rex.

"Where is your money?" Levi asked.

The Blood Ghost pointed to the tattered white robe on his body.

"I recently bought materials and made this Fourth Ring witch artifact... although it's broken now."

"You're Fourth Ring Artifact Forging maker?" Levi's heart stirred.

"Yes."

Levi was satisfied; it seemed this Blood Ghost was quite a talent.

He clearly has a skill, yet he insists on engaging in this dangerous Black Wizard.

It is indeed a pleasant thing to gain something without working for it.

Next, Levi used magic and restrictions to bind the two people together.

After checking and finding no problems, they were placed in the Insect House.

"Leon, keep an eye on those two for me, don't let them steal any food!"

Insect House, Leon nodded solemnly.

Then the eerie face stared at the Blood Ghost and the Red Eye.

The two men felt a chill run down their spines.

"What the hell is this thing?"

"I don't know, it's terrifying, I feel my soul trembling instinctively!"

"The way it looked at us was like it was looking at food, wanting to eat but not daring to..."

"However, leaving this Crimson Realm is also a good thing. This person is definitely a prodigy of a major power. If we can get on the list, and he advances to the Fifth Ring or even the Origin Soul in the future, we servants will also be able to rise to prominence!"

The year 1149 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of the Furnace.

Levi successfully reached the Flame Mountain.

Even though he was somewhat prepared, he was still shocked by what he saw.

As far as the eye could see, there were endless black volcanoes.

The volcanoes have different shapes, like the masterpieces of nature, and are breathtakingly beautiful.

The highest crater in the volcano constantly spews and bubbles lava.

A large witch city lies on its edge, and the surging power of fire elemental energy is absorbed by the magic array outside the city.

Beside Levi stood Red Eye, now completely transformed. His eyes had recovered, and he stood respectfully to the side, dressed as a servant. Red Eye hailed from Flame Mountain, so he was very familiar with the area.

"This Flame City is built in this volcanic crater. If the volcano erupts, won't it be submerged?"

"My lord, you are unaware of the fact that the core of the entire volcanic cluster, the fire elemental land, has been suppressed by the Primal Soul Wizard of Flame Mountain using magic arrays. Therefore, this volcanic cluster, spanning tens of thousands of miles, only leaks out fire elemental power but will not erupt."

"How many Origin Soul are there in Flame Mountain now?"

"On the surface, there are three, all of whom are the Origin Soul of the Fire Bull Wizard Family: Red Horn Ancestor Wizard, Green Luo Lady, and Red Hair Ghost Child... Speaking of which, the most talked-about aspect of Flame Mountain is the relationship between these three Origin Soul. Red Horn and Green Luo are husband and wife, and the Ghost Child is their child. The whole family of three are Origin Soul! This is quite rare in the Wizard World."

"Indeed, this Red Horn Ancestor Wizard must be the ruler of Flame Mountain."

"Hehe, outsiders all think that the Red Horn Ancestor Wizard is the strongest, but in reality... the true person in charge of the Fire Bull Family is not the Red Horn Clan Chief, but Green Luo Lady. She is not a local, but comes from a large wizarding family in the Land of Divine Wind. She is a rare dual cultivator of the wind and fire factions... Origin Soul lord, judging from your previous methods, you are not a single cultivator in terms of magic, are you?"

"I was just joking around. They've advanced both major schools of Meditation Technique to the Origin Soul level. I can't compare..."

"That's quite impressive. To dare to pursue dual cultivation of body and spirit is already extraordinary."

"Alright, stop flattering me, lead the way."

The master and servant arrived at a small market, travel-worn, and found a place to stay.

Levi arranged for Hogg to meet with him through Tea Party Round Table to discuss future plans.

But after sending a message to Hogg, he found that there was no response from the other party.

"Hogg is already at the peak of level two, he might be advancing in the process... Let's wait a few days."

While waiting, Levi put away his Red Eye and strolled alone through the wizard markets scattered among the volcanoes.

He rarely comes here, and thought he would take this opportunity to buy some local specialties to take back with him.

The next day.

Levi stood in front of a wizard's stall.

The stall owner, a Second Ring wizard, sensed the arrival of Levi, a Fourth Ring Wizard, and quickly asked, "What does the master need?"

Even in the Flame Mountain, Fourth Ring is considered strong.

Levi's gaze fell upon several animal eggs on the stall, each larger than an ostrich egg.

"I want this egg."

As an expert in extraordinary biology, he immediately recognized it as the egg of the Fire Stealing Dragon Finch.

In his Mountains and Seas Beast Garden, there was a retired Fire Stealing Dragon Finch that spent all its time in heat with Levi.

He plans to buy it back, appease it, and at the same time increase the population.

"My lord, I obtained this egg from Second Ring extraordinary creature's nest. It costs 5,000 Great Stone per egg..."

"It's a bit expensive. Five thousand Great Stone can buy a Second Ring witch artifact. How about this, five thousand, I'll take all these eggs... Nobody wants these things except for extraordinary biologists, after all, the witch is gone after all the effort of raising them."

Seeing that Levi was so knowledgeable, the Second-Ring Wizard hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright, five thousand it is."

Five thousand Great Stone is a huge sum for an ordinary Second-Ring Wizard.

Levi was in a good mood after placing the egg into Alice's Ring.

Over the years, he has been trying to establish extraordinary biological breeding bases, and the more biological banks and populations he has, the better.

Given the density of the Ancient Saint Plane, it is impossible for it to become saturated for a very long time.

It turns out that men can enjoy shopping too, as long as they have money.

Seven days later.

Unbeknownst to him, Levi had actually spent two million Great Stone.

Not only did he spend all the money confiscated from the Red Eye and the Blood Ghost, but he also spent it all.

He also took a considerable amount from his own multi-million dollar vault.

Of course, the results were also quite good.

Fire Stealing Dragon Finch, Red Fire Dragon Lizard, Magma Snake, Fire Bird... eight kinds of fire-type extraordinary creatures' eggs or larvae.

In addition, Levi also found a piece of level-three Elemental Metal the size of a human head, which he can use to reforge Tyrant IV later.

However, these were all small expenses.

What truly cost him money was knowledge. Leaving aside magic tricks, he bought hundreds of Spell Model from the First Ring to the Fourth Ring, and even a few Fifth Ring Spell Model.

This knowledge was his most important purpose in going shopping.

After all, once you leave here, it will be difficult to purchase large quantities of Combustion Faction spells again.

One of the Fifth Ring models is the advanced spell of the Fourth Ring Sun Splitting Strike that Levi is currently learning: Gathering Sun Transformation! Basically, he collected all the knowledge of the Combustion Faction that was circulating in the Flame Mountain market that Levi did not have.

"Only 8 million Great Stone left, it's too short-lived... However, knowledge is priceless, investing in knowledge is a sure thing," Levi comforted himself.

He has 8 million left, which he will not use for the time being.

After finishing the transaction with that person, he wanted to buy some more Artifact Forging and Alchemy knowledge to take back with him.

The Combustion Faction wizards are most skilled at Artifact Forging, and the Alchemy Faction's stronghold is actually located within the Combustion Faction.

It is one of the ten caves, the "Alchemy Cave".

After that, Levi stayed at home and quietly cultivated himself.

Three days later.

Hogg and Levi made contact.

At the Tea Party Round Table, Hogg said apologetically, "Captain, a few days ago I had a sudden urge and felt that the time for advancement had come, so I went into seclusion to advance. Now I am Blood Origin Knight."

"It's alright, congratulations on your promotion. Please arrange for me to meet that person. Once I'm done here, I'll head back," Levi said.

"OK."

The next day.

Inside a tavern box in a larger wizarding market.

Levi had been waiting there for a long time, his eyes closed in deep thought.

He opened his eyes and saw a figure walk in.

The newcomer was a male sorcerer dressed in a red-striped robe and wearing a mask.

Judging from his mental strength, Fourth Ring Wizard should be close to perfection, or at least a senior Fourth Ring wizard.

"So, you're the one who wants to buy Black Flame Meteorite Iron, right?" the man said calmly.

"That's right. If you're serious about making a deal, why don't you let me see your goods first?" Levi said with a smile.

"I don't have any on hand right now, but I know where Black Flame Meteorite Iron is produced," the man said.

Levi's face immediately darkened, and he sneered, "When you contacted my friend back then, you said you had it in stock."

"Please calm down, sir. Black Flame Demon Iron is a level five Elemental Metal. If I had any extra, I would have sold it at an auction. It's not your place to buy it," the man said unhurriedly.

After a moment of silence, Levi said, "It seems that the location of that Black Flame Demon Iron is not simple."

"To be honest, I recently discovered a lost and dilapidated secret realm, which contains this Black Flame Demon Iron... and quite a lot of it."

However, due to some reasons, that secret realm was invaded by black beasts from the Darkness Zone, and a level five black beast even occupied it, ruling as king. This Black Flame Demon Iron was discovered at the black beast's lair.

Because the secret realm was teeming with black beasts, I left early after obtaining a small piece of meteorite iron, and then used the auction as an opportunity to release some clues.

I hope to attract people like you who have this need to join my team and explore the hidden realm with me.

In that secret realm, the largest Black Flame Meteorite Iron was occupied by a Level 5 Black Beast.

I have found some people with similar needs as you, all of whom are at the Fourth Ring of strength, including some array wizards. We will work together to use the array to kill the black beast.

"The rest of the Black Flame Meteorite Iron will depend on your own abilities. What do you say?"

Levi's expression changed after hearing this.

"A level five black beast? I think you'd be better off finding Fifth Ring wizard. If you find a few Fourth Ring Wizard... they might not even know how they died." Levi said bluntly.

"It seems you are one of those wizard disciples who live in an ivory tower and are inexperienced in the ways of the world. You don't explore secret realms much and don't know how difficult the world is. When exploring secret realms, you should find wizards of the same level... Why would you seek out wizards of a higher level? Even if you could obtain treasures relatively safely that way, the question is, would they share with you? Could you leave the secret realm alive? You don't naively think that you can restrain wizards of a higher level just by relying on those contracts, do you?" the wizard sneered.

Levi pondered in his heart.

He lived to be 160 years old and only explored the secret realm twice.

One of these incidents even left me with psychological trauma; everyone else besides myself was either dead or on the verge of death...

Therefore, he really didn't understand some of the unspoken rules of exploring secret realms.

Unless absolutely necessary, he doesn't particularly like the idea of seeking fortune through risk.

However, most ordinary wizards have to take great risks to obtain resources that exceed their social status.

"So how many people have you found so far?" Levi asked.

"I've already found five helpers, all of them Fourth Ring Wizard. We're just one short to form a Fourth Ring magic circle to trap the black beast... I reckon you're relatively new to the Fourth Ring. If it weren't for one of the wizards I promised to go having to deal with something else, I usually wouldn't have asked you to cooperate with someone of your strength." The other person spoke arrogantly behind their mask.

"After we work together to kill them, it's up to each of us to rely on our own abilities, right?"

"That's right."

"Okay... I'll go."

"Sure, you've got guts. Hunting a level 5 being isn't as scary as you think. Enough said. Here's my contact information. Get ready, we'll set off in three days."

Levi exchanged contact information with the wizard and then returned to his lodgings.

"How did it go, Commander?" Hogg asked.

"Not bad. Now that you've advanced to the Blood Source level, are you planning to stay here or return to the Mortal World?"

"I want to explore here first. If the Temple needs me, I can go back and follow your instructions."

"Then you can stay here, but be careful. The Wizard World is far more dangerous than the Mortal World."

The next three days.

Levi is adjusting his state of mind.

"I've never dealt with black beasts before, but there seem to be a lot of them in the Dark Ancient Tower. I'll take this opportunity to practice and see how good they are. If they can really hunt level 5 black beasts, then I'll play with them... If not, I'll just make a run for it."

Levi had no intention of fighting a level 5 black beast alone.

It is said that in order to adapt to the harsh environment of the Darkness Zone, the Black Beast's strength is much higher than the average level of extraordinary creatures at the same realm, and it is already close to that of a wizard at the same realm.

the next day.

Inside the hotel.

Levi discovered that the Golden Dragon Celestial Shield within his body had become even more dazzling.

He checked the Proficiency Panel and saw that his Bloodline Divine Weapon had advanced to level two.

"Defense capabilities have increased slightly again."

Not only that.

With a thought, Levi exuded a chilling aura, and his body began to turn into wood, transforming him into a powerful, icy tree.

His second body-refining method, the Frostwood Body, has already reached the Fourth Ring level.

"You only need to master one body-refining technique."

Levi did not hesitate to merge the Frostwood Body Refinement Method and the Golden Poison Body Refinement Method.

at the same time.

Within his body, Venomous Swarm began to devour his Frostwood Body.

Like termites gnawing at wood, it produced an eerie rustling sound.

The next day.

Levi discovered that the Venomous Swarm within his body had changed from gold to a strange Deep Blue, exuding a chilling aura and a lush vitality that was elusive and unfathomable.

In the blink of an eye.

A Deep Blue figure, identical to Levi, emerged from his body and stared at Levi.

This figure had no emotions or thoughts; it was still composed of Venomous Swarm, and its surface was covered with even more mysterious and complex body-refining runes.

Levi could sense that after multiple fusions, this body-refining clone had become even stronger, and even an ordinary senior Fourth Ring wizard might not be its match.

"This Deep Blue body-refining clone, let's call it the Deep Blue Body Refinement Method from now on... This technique is capable of being cultivated to the level of Primal Soul Wizard. Looking at the Wizard World, it's definitely a top-tier body-refining technique! However... it's not enough! I need to continue searching for other body-refining techniques to fuse with. Perhaps, I will become the first Great Wizard- level Body Refinement Wizard!"

He opened the Proficiency Panel.

Levi ——————

Deep Blue Body Refinement Method: Eighth Rank (25124/100,000), Special Effect: Deep Blue Body.

[Deep Blue Body: Possesses powerful defense, resilience, toxicity, strength, deformability, and stretching abilities. It exhibits strong resistance to Thunder and Frost elemental attacks, as well as to negative energies such as poison and dark energy.]

"Go back, Deep Blue."

Levi spoke to the Deep Blue Clone, but he was actually talking to himself, because the clone had no self-awareness.

The Deep Blue turned into smoke and flowed into Levi's body.

After a short while, he returned to normal.

Three days later.

Levi is practicing Breathing Technique.

Suddenly the letter in my hand began to burn, and the words on it appeared.

It was that person who provided the coordinates of the secret realm.

Levi looked at his arm; his current sense of danger was fluctuating within the normal range.

"Third time venturing into the secret realm, hope everything goes smoothly!"

The Scorched Gobi!

This is a no-man's-land in the eastern part of the Flame Mountain.

In fact, not only humans, but very few other living beings are included.

Occasionally, some low-level extraordinary creatures of the fire element would pass by, but they would soon disappear into the vast Gobi Desert.

In the center of a certain place in the Gobi Desert, there is a pitch-black sinkhole.

Flames shot out from the pit, emitting terrifyingly high temperatures and the smell of sulfur.

Around the sinkhole, three Fourth Ring Wizard were already sitting cross-legged, each using protective magic circles to demarcate their areas before resting and meditating.

After Levi arrived, the three men turned their attention to him.

One of them, wearing a mask, was the wizard who had met with Levi that day.

His name is Iman, but that's probably not his real name; he's the mastermind behind this operation.

Iman said, "Gentlemen, this is Geralt, the last person on our expedition to this secret realm."

"Geralt, this is Fire Wolf · Quill, Fourth Ring magic circle wizard, the key to our operation. I paid quite a price to get him here," Iman said with a half-smile. "The other one is Fierce Crow · Bob, an external wizard from the Fire Bull Family, and he is very powerful."

"Hello, both of you," Levi said with a smile.

"Iman, we're hunting a level 5 black beast this time... Your choice of the last person is too casual." Fire Wolf glanced at Levi, sensing that Levi's mental strength was much weaker than his own, and couldn't help but transmit his voice.

"Geralt is primarily a cultivator of the physical body. If that level-five black beast goes berserk, he can hold it off for a while."

Besides, if your magic array didn't require seven people to activate, we wouldn't need to call so many people at all. The more people there are, the greater the possibility of unforeseen events.

"I'll use some weak Fourth Ring to make up the numbers. Once we kill the level five black beasts, we'll start clearing the area, leaving the others inside... In the end, won't it be the two of us who split the Black Flame Meteorite Iron?" Iman replied telepathically.

The Fire Wolf Wizard, finding this reasonable, said nothing more.

The Firebird Wizard remained silent, lost in his own thoughts.

Seeing that the two men ignored him, Levi decided not to make a fool of himself and quietly waited for the others to arrive.

Next.

The other three wizards also arrived one after another.

Two of the witches looked exactly alike and dressed similarly, suggesting they were twins. They were always inseparable, holding hands.

The other was a male wizard, dressed in a blue robe, with a calm expression.

"It seems my sister and I are late. Iman, please introduce us," said one of the twins, a large-breasted witch. She was the older sister, and the other was flat-chested, the younger sister.

Iman quickly acted as a middleman, introducing everyone to each other.

Levi then learned that the blue-robed wizard, like himself, also came from the Endless Sea and was named Marquis.

When it was finally introduced that Levi was Body Refinement Wizard, Marquis glanced at Levi.

"Now that everyone is here, let's practice the magic circle under the guidance of the Fire Wolf Wizard. Once we're familiar with the magic circle, we can go in," Iman said.

"Besides me, is there anyone who understands magic arrays?" Fire Wolf asked calmly.

After a moment, no one answered.

"In that case, I'll arrange it randomly."

He sneered inwardly. As Fourth Ring magic array wizard, coupled with his near-perfect mental strength and two Fourth Ring innate spells, he was already invincible.

If we successfully slay the level 5 black beast this time, the rewards will definitely be substantial.

Apart from him and Iman, the other five people's mental strength level was only around the Fourth Ring, and they probably only mastered one talent spell at most.

The ones we need to pay attention to are the twin sisters.

He learned from Iman that the twin sisters were quite famous in the Flame Mountain region, known as the "Holy Flame Twins".

The elder sister practices the "Azure Flame Meditation Technique," while the younger sister practices the "Violet Flame Meditation Technique." The combination of azure and purple can create a terrifying "White Holy Flame."

He once killed a senior Fourth Ring Black Wizard.

Another noteworthy point is the Fire Bull Family's external aid wizard. Being chosen by the Origin Soul forces must mean he is extraordinary.

As for Geralt and Marquis, according to the information, they both come from the Endless Sea, one is Oceanic School and the other is Body Refinement Wizard, both appearing to be ordinary Fourth Ring cultivators.

If he doesn't have any trump cards up his sleeve, even the two of them combined wouldn't be a match for him.

Moreover, these two outsiders probably don't have much influence in this place, making them the easiest to manipulate.

Next, the seven people spent three full days practicing the formation.

To avoid standing out too much and being targeted by others, Levi had to pretend that he didn't understand formations.

Finally, after mastering the formation, Iman looked at the heated brick bed and said, "The entrance to the secret realm is inside a small fire cave. My two friends from the Endless Sea, please be careful."

After saying that, Iman leaped into the air and transformed into a stream of flames, surging into the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed).

The Fire Wolf, meanwhile, leisurely entered, summoning a series of crimson array flags that circled around it.

The Holy Flame Twins embraced and spun around each other, entering in a bizarre posture.

The Flame Wizard transformed into a giant flamingo and followed closely behind.

It has a flavor of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities.

In the end, only Levi and Marquis remained.

"If you don't have a way to get in, you can come over here." Marquis' robes conjured a blue water sphere, enveloping him.

"No need, thank you," Levi said.

"Alright... Lord Geralt, this expedition involves only the two of us outsiders. So, if anything unexpected happens inside, I hope we can be partners and both return safely to the Endless Sea," Marquis said meaningfully.

Levi smiled slightly but did not respond.

It seems that everyone who enters here is mentally prepared to be let down by their teammates.

This is a secret realm exploration, and everyone knows it. The teammates are all up to no good, and they're all villains! After Marquis also went in.

Levi's Deep Blue Body transformed into armor that covered his body.

He pretended to jump in.

With his current physical body and fire elemental resistance, this is completely unnecessary.

Not long after.

As Levi fell, the temperature rose higher and higher, and even Third-Ring Wizard's field of force couldn't hold out for long.

However, with the protection of his Deep Blue Body, his body felt as if he were bathing in the ocean, without any discomfort whatsoever!

At the bottom of the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove).

Levi saw a crack in the dark rock wall, gleaming with light.

This is the entrance to the Lost Realm. Judging from Iman's description, it seems to be similar to the God Forsaken Land, having been invaded by black beasts.

He activated all his Protective Force Field and then stepped into the crack.

Looking around, the sky was cracked, and the earth was lifeless, with only a few strange plants growing there occasionally, I wondered if they were medicinal herbs.

In the distance, the endless black mountain range stretches as far as the eye can see.

According to Iman, this secret realm is a medium-sized one. It may have been a resource point for a wizarding organization in the past, but it was abandoned due to the invasion of black beasts and the depletion of resources.

As soon as Levi appeared, he heard the sounds of fighting coming from not far away.

Deep Blue Body appeared on his body, while other force fields were withdrawn.

He looked towards the battle, where a flock of black crows had been annihilated by the Fire Wolf's terrifying innate magic.

"Geralt, hurry up! There are quite a few black beasts in this secret realm. The seven of us cannot get separated, otherwise we will be defeated one by one by the black beasts, and no one will be able to get the Black Flame Meteorite Iron!" Iman said.

Levi rushed over, and his right arm suddenly stretched out to a length of tens of meters, revealing Deep Blue giant claw.

A black beast at the peak of level one was caught by the void and crushed, leaving only a pile of corpse ice shards on the spot, emitting a chilling aura.

Levi looked down at the corpse, which exuded an unsettling black aura, both from the flesh and bones.

"Stop looking! The corpses of these black beasts contain corrosive power that is difficult to purify. They can't be used for either alchemy or weapon crafting," Fire Wolf shouted from the front, frowning.

Levi knew, of course, that the black beast's corpse was unusable. He just felt that the corrosive power emanating from the black beast was somewhat similar to the bone artifact used by that mysterious organization member.

"That mysterious organization may come from the Darkness Zone... and has already mastered the technique of forging weapons using the remains of black beasts."

In fact, Levi believed that his Purification Potion could remove this corrosive force.

But there's no need.

The cost of Purification Potion is too high nowadays; using them to purify the corpses of black beasts is not worth the effort.

If costs decrease in the future, and I come across high-quality black beast materials, I might consider giving it a try.

"Your body-refining magic is quite good," Iman said.

"It's alright, I shouldn't hold everyone back," Levi said with an embarrassed smile.

The seven men joined forces and fought each other in this desolate wilderness.

"This is really unlucky. We ran into this Black Death Crow Swarm as soon as we came in. Although each of these things is only level one in strength, the problem is that there are too many of them. Every time there are hundreds, or even thousands," Iman complained.

While killing the Black Death Crow that pounced on him, Levi kept an eye on his surroundings.

With their strength, it's only a matter of time before they wipe out this flock of crows.

He's not even warming up yet.

"Caw caw caw!"

It flew away accompanied by a Black Death Crow leader of about level two.

The other crows scattered, and the wilderness finally quieted down.

There were hundreds of crow carcasses on the ground.

"Let's take a break," Iman said, glancing at the other six.

Then they saw Levi drink a bottle of potion and begin to meditate.

After resting for a while, the group set off again.

As they walked, the Holy Flame Twins suddenly waved their hands, and a fist-sized black ore appeared in their palms.

"Black Flame Meteorite Iron!" Levi murmured to himself.

"Iman, whoever finds these things keeps them," the twin sister laughed, while the younger sister on the other side hadn't said a word yet.

"That's right. This kind of raw ore can only be refined into ore the size of a fingernail, which is worthless... It's far from enough to make magical artifacts. As long as you all follow my instructions, I guarantee that your harvest this time will exceed your imagination," Iman said, seemingly unconcerned about the twins taking the ore.

After learning that there might be raw ore along the way, everyone began to pay extra attention, including Levi.

However, their luck turned sour after that.

I've never seen anything like this before, a windfall from heaven.

A moment later, another level-three Black Winged Snake descended from the sky, but before it could get close, it was burned to a crisp by the twin sisters' blue flames.

"Lord Iman, how much longer until we arrive?" Marquis asked.

"We'll be there soon. The lair of that level-five black beast is in the heart of that black mountain range ahead. Once we get there, the six of us will hold the beast back for a while. After the Fire Serpent sets up the magic array, everyone should quickly enter the array and use it to kill the beast. Otherwise, even if we use all our trump cards to kill the beast, it will be a loss!" Iman said.

Levi followed silently behind without saying a word.

As they drew closer to the Black Mountains, powerful level four black beasts began to appear along the way.

A giant, jet-black tiger with two heads roared and bypassed the Holy Flame Twins, arriving at Marquis's location behind them.

A blue force field lit up around Marquis, and he quickly retreated.

Upon seeing this, the giant tiger pounced on Levi.

Levi's expression changed. In an instant, layers of ice condensed in front of him, turning into an ice wall.

Click.

The ice wall formed by the chilling aura of the Deep Blue Body was shattered by the giant tiger.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Levi ran forward.

"Die!"

Iman threw a flaming dagger, which pierced the giant tiger's body.

Accompanied by a tremendous explosion.

The giant tiger's body shattered, and it died with a mournful howl.

Iman remained calm and said, "Let's go, don't waste our energy on these things."

Levi stared at the giant tiger carcass lying on the ground, untouched and uncollected.

Silently, she found an empty Storage Ring and put it inside.

It's a level four creature after all; you never know when you might need it.

Seeing Levi's reaction, Fire Wolf and Iman exchanged a glance and remained silent.

An hour later, after being delayed by various black beasts, they finally arrived at the black mountain range.

"I don't know if there are any other level-five black beasts besides that nest, so we should try to avoid fighting in this area. After killing that black beast, we should quickly mine the Black Flame Meteorite Iron Ore and leave. Our magic array can only be used once, and we don't have the strength to deal with a second level-five black beast," Iman said sincerely.

"Clear."

Everyone echoed this sentiment.

After a close call crossing the black mountains, they arrived at an abandoned mine.

Levi looked around and concluded that the mine was likely used to mine Sun Gold or Mithril.

It seems that it was indeed a resource point for the wizarding organization in the past.

Everyone focused their attention and stepped into the deep tunnel.

I don't know how far I walked, but I was accompanied by the sound of gurgling underground water.

They arrived at a mine hall, which was already flooded.

There seemed to be a sound in the bottomless water, and Levi looked at the uneasy hair.

It seems that Iman wasn't lying to him; there really are level five black beasts here.

"The black beast is in the water, and the meteorite ore is also underwater. Prepare for battle, everyone!" Iman said. "Fire Wolf, the magic circle is up to you."

"I'm sure I won't cause any problems, just don't let us down. Remember, if we don't kill the Black Beast, we won't get anything, and we might even lose our lives here, so think carefully before you start thinking about anything," Fire Wolf added.

Iman was the first to attack, rushing into the water, and a crimson sun appeared in his hand.

Third Ring talent - Sun Flare Burst! Boom! Before the fireball could fall into the water, a huge tentacle emerged from underwater, slapping the fireball away and causing it to explode in mid-air.

The firelight illuminated the mine hall, and the shore of the underground lake was littered with all sorts of black beast carcasses, and even some headless wizard corpses.

The next moment, eight tentacles, each a hundred meters long, emerged from the water, baring their fangs and claws, each bearing a grotesque human head.

These heads appear to belong to the wizards who died here previously.

"Hurry up and attack! Don't hold back, or you'll all die here!" Iman roared, and went straight to deal with three of the tentacles.

The next moment, the Holy Flame Twins, accompanied by giggles, released cyan and purple flames to fight against the two tentacles.

The remaining three are Levi, Marquis, and Fierce Bird, one for each of them.

Levi's Deep Blue Body collided with the tentacles and was blasted away, emerging from the pit in the rock wall.

"As expected, it's level five. Even a single tentacle can send me flying."

However, the moment the attack struck, all of his defenses lit up, negating the attack.

This put Levi at ease; it seemed that the level 5 black beast's regular attacks couldn't break through his defenses.

He roared, drank the potion, and charged forward again.

On the other side, Fire Wolf had a solemn expression and quickly set up an array.

Without the magic array, one of the seven Fourth Ring Wizard would eventually slip up and be defeated one by one by the black beasts, ultimately leading to their complete annihilation.

"Fire Wolf, hurry up!" Iman urged.

"Alright, return to your positions and form ranks!" In front of the Fire Wolf, arrays of magical objects flew out and inserted themselves into the surrounding shore of the water.

Then, the other six people entered the magic circle as originally planned.

The next moment, seven white rays of light intertwined in the mine hall, forming a large white net that directly covered the entire lake.

At the same time, the body beneath the eight tentacles was also revealed.

Everyone who saw it was shocked.

They all thought it was a black beast like a giant octopus.

But they discovered that the black beast's body was actually a humanoid monster wearing jet-black armor.

The armor is made up of chunks of raw Black Flame Meteorite Iron ore.

"This beast has refined all the ore into its body! Quick, attack with all your might!" Iman's expression changed.

On that giant white net, terrifying flames began to spread, scorching the black beast within.

However, the damage caused by the ore is extremely limited.

"If you hold back any longer, we'll all die here," Fire Wolf said coldly.

The next moment, Levi's right hand transformed into a Deep Blue drill! Mysterious runes flashed! Boom! Accompanied by an earth-shattering sound, the armor began to wear down.

"Are you guys just going to watch?" Iman asked the others.

The Holy Flame Twins spun rapidly, their blue and purple flames intertwining to transform into pure white holy flames!

The holy flames transformed into a giant white axe! Boom! The armor trembled violently under this attack.

The Firebird Wizard then conjured a feather-shaped magical artifact.

He whistled, his feathers burst into flames, and he charged forward with unstoppable force, beginning to sever the tentacles.

Behind Marquis, a phantom image of a sea-blue megalodon appeared and swept away.

Seeing that everyone had used their trump cards, Fire Wolf and Iman breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fire Wolf manipulated the magic circle to attack the black beast, while a fiery red sphere appeared in Iman's hand at some unknown time.

The fluctuations emanating from the sphere caused all the wizards except for the Fire Wolf to change their expressions.

Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact!

Iman's face turned pale for a moment, then returned to normal.

The sphere expanded to a diameter of 100 meters, resembling a fiery red sun, filled with countless fragments of lava, and looked incredibly heavy.

Boom! The sphere fell!

A smile crept across Iman's lips! "Die!"

Accompanied by a tremendous explosion.

The black beast's armor shattered completely, revealing a long-dried female corpse inside. Its eight tentacles began to melt and struggle in the Fierce Fire!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone launched a simultaneous attack. These seven people were no pushovers, and even a level-five black beast was seriously injured by this attack.

Sea of Fire floated above the Fire Wolf's head before crashing into the black beast.

Finally, under the combined attack of the group, especially the Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact, the black beast ceased its struggle and died on the spot.

Seven Fourth Ring, two perfect-level powerhouses, plus a magic array and Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact, actually killed the level five black beast!

Levi couldn't help but sigh, the Wizard World is indeed full of hidden talents.

He immediately began collecting the Black Flame Meteorite Iron, and so did the others; the next stage was for everyone to rely on their own abilities.

Iman and Fire Wolf exchanged a glance.

The next moment, streaks of fire shot out from all parts of the cave, forming an impenetrable cage of flames! Enveloping everyone except Iman and him.

"So you two are already revealing your true intentions? If the Fire Bull Family finds out I'm dead, you should know the consequences, right?" The Firebird Wizard, who had been silent all along, looked at the brand-new Fourth Ring magic array and said coldly.

"Lord Fierce Bird, you're overthinking it. They won't care about a mere outside help wizard like you," Iman laughed.

"What if the Fire Bull Family knows there are level 5 elemental ores here? If I die, my servants will immediately tell the Fire Bull Family the location of this place... Do you think you can escape?" the Fire Bird suddenly laughed.

"You... didn't we sign a confidentiality agreement? Don't try to trick me!" Iman's expression changed slightly.

"Whether it's a scam or not, you'll find out once you try," the Fiery Bird said calmly.

"In that case, let's lay our cards on the table. The Red Bone Wizard of Flame Mountain are already on their way here... You two better not do anything foolish," the Holy Flame Twins said with a charming laugh.

"The Red Bone Wizard? That rogue cultivator at the Fifth Ring of cultivation?"

"That's right, I forgot to tell you, my sister and I now serve Lord Red Bone together." The Holy Flame Twins were fearless.

"Stop talking nonsense, kill them all! We've already torn off all pretense, what more do you want?" Fire Wolf shouted as soon as he saw Iman hesitate.

Instantly.

The fiery cage contracted.

They quickly cornered the five people inside.

They could only use Protective Force Field to withstand the attack. At the same time, Iman's expression hardened, and he immediately used his innate magic, unleashing a terrifying attack on these people.

"You two from the Endless Sea, you haven't told anyone else about our affair, have you?" Iman asked while attacking. "I released you two so we could kill these people together, then we'd sign a life-or-death pact, promising never to touch you again, and I'd even give you a share of the Black Flame Meteorite Iron! Only by joining forces could we possibly escape from the Red Bone Wizard!"

"You two outsiders, do you think Iman will let you go? Only by breaking the magic array now can we have a chance to survive!" the Fiery Bird said hurriedly.

"That's right, we're on the same side now," the Holy Flame Twins added.

Marquis hesitated, then asked telepathically, "Lord Geralt, what should we do?"

The next moment.

He then saw magical arrays suddenly fly out from Geralt's body and disappear into the cage of flames.

Immediately afterward, the fiery cage went out, and Fire Wolf's expression changed drastically. "He's a magic array wizard! Iman, kill him first!"

Flames soared into the sky, filling the mine hall, and in the light, a tall, imposing figure with Red Scales appeared.

Golden Serpent Frenzy Dance, the Crimson Emperor Burns the Heavens, the images of giant beasts overlap all around, and the four-colored divine dragons shine brightly together!

"Sorry... I want them all!"
