Demon Sword Dragon Witch; The Iron Tree Treasure!

The House of Witches.

Triss watched Ai Niya disappear from sight.

"Mother, believe me, I will return safely."

Ai Niya's words echoed in her ears.

Nether King City.

The Wild Bone Wizard, clutching a black ribbon, gazed at the skull above and vanished from the spot.

The Mortal World, Crimson Realm, Frost Realm...

Those wizards who were pursuing their future, immortality, and truth also embarked on their journeys.

In multiple dimensions and a vast universe, all living beings are striving to cross over.

The Dark Ancient Tower.

First floor.

The boundless swamp is shrouded in miasma, Poison Mist, and teeming with flying insects, making it a place fraught with danger.

Three beams of white light descended from the sky and landed nearby.

In one of the beams of white light, Levi, dressed in a gray robe, opened his eyes. He quickly adjusted his posture to prevent himself from being ambushed.

He put on the "Truth Mask," which blended into his face as if it had grown into his skin.

In an instant, Levi's appearance also changed, transforming him into a burly man with short black hair.

The burly man had dark skin, sharp features, and scars on his face, making him look menacing.

With this mask in place, unless Primal Soul Wizard deliberately probes, no one else can see through Levi's true appearance, spiritual energy fluctuations, voice, aura, or other personal characteristics.

Levi looked inside his body and found that the Dark Ancient Tower that had brought him in had disappeared.

This is just an entry ticket; you can enter, but not exit. There are other ways to get out.

He looked around, his spiritual perception slowly spreading out, and then he left the place.

At the same time, two figures emerged from the two beams of white light.

These are two wizards dressed in crimson robes, one fat and one thin, with a towering Fire Bull tattooed on their robes.

This is the Crimson Realm, the emblem of the Fire Bull Family of the Flame Mountain.

"Roy?"

"Jensen?"

They smiled at each other.

"We've actually been teleported together! This makes our next move much easier. Let's hurry and rejoin the main force. With Lord Raphael leading the way, our family is sure to triumph this time!"

"Don't rush, there's still one person here."

Roy and Jensen secretly communicated telepathically, their eyes fixed on the White-Robed Wizard who was gradually moving away.

The two nodded in tacit agreement and quietly followed.

Levi remained calm as he traversed the swamp, his mental energy carefully scanning his surroundings.

Before he arrived, he had obtained a partial map of the first floor from Triss.

Although it was from ten thousand years ago, he could still tell that this place should be the "Lost Swamp" described on the map.

As one of the most dangerous places on the first level, it is home to a large number of low-level swamp creatures, and even a large number of "swamp lords" comparable to mid-level wizards.

According to records from ten thousand years ago, at least several level-five swamp lords were entrenched in this swamp.

Of course, danger also represents opportunity; a large number of rare plants also grow in the swamp.

Although there are also indigenous peoples with extraordinary civilizations in the Dark Ancient Tower, their level of development is far inferior to that of the wizards.

Therefore, a large amount of resources in the swamp are undeveloped.

After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, the result should be a very optimistic figure.

Levi was quite lucky, landing directly at one of the resource points on this floor. Other contestants are probably on their way here now.

Levi should gain more before they arrive.

As a pharmacist in the Fourth Ring, Levi has extensive knowledge of plants.

His eyes lit up; on the shore of the island ahead, there was a clump of dark green plants as tall as a person.

The plant is covered with bright red fruits the size of quail eggs, emitting a sweet and sour fragrance.

"It's the legendary Saintess Fruit! It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it fall into my lap without any effort. I never expected to find such a material in the Dark Ancient Tower!"

Even Levi was extremely excited.

He went to great lengths to find Saintess Fruit and their substitutes, and it took him nearly a century to finally develop a viable alternative Vermillion Pattern Fruit.

The problem is that the yield of the Vermillion Pattern Fruit is too low to meet Levi's needs at all.

Golden Xenomorph Insect, black beast corpses—there are many things he needs to purify and study...

"It's been sent."

Levi took out a specially made small box, which was used to store medicinal materials and could preserve their medicinal properties perfectly for nearly a hundred years.

He picked a Saintess Fruit and put it in his mouth.

The juice bursts out, sweet and sour, it's especially delicious.

Saintess Fruit can be eaten directly; they can calm the mind and are good for the body, but it's a bit wasteful to do so.

In no time at all, Levi had finished picking Saintess Fruit from this clump.

Looking at the bare little fruit tree, Levi fell into deep thought.

After he came in, he tried to open Alice's Ring and the Green Field Fairy House, but he couldn't.

Alternatively, he could try transplanting Saintess Fruit into the area.

Saintess Fruit are also living things; they possess the "spirit" or "vitality" that can be defined as living beings, rather than simply having "medicinal properties" like processed medicinal herbs.

He thought for a moment, then dug one of the plants up by the roots and put it into Potion Making.

He then put it into his Storage Ring, and not long after, he took out the medicine box and opened it.

Looking at the Saintess Fruit again, it was still lush and green, but its "vitality" had disappeared. It was a dead tree and could no longer be transplanted.

The same was true of the Saintess Fruit he had put inside.

However, the "medicinal properties" of the Saintess Fruit are still present, so it doesn't prevent its use.

Ordinary Storage Ring can only hold inanimate objects. They cannot hold living things, whether plants or animal eggs. If you force them in, they will become "inanimate objects".

Therefore, Levi has always used the Green Field Fairy House to store herbs that need to remain active and vigorous to work.

To prevent the herbs from being unable to be brought in, Levi had them prepared into potions in advance.

At times like this, Levi would envy the Storage Ring in some online novels from his previous life, which were said to only be able to hold inanimate objects, but actually could also hold living things such as beast eggs.

While internally complaining.

Levi dispersed his spiritual energy and continued searching for the Saintess Fruit.

Not long after, he discovered a Saintess Fruit on a small island.

However, on this fruit tree, all the unpicked Saintess Fruit had withered, leaving only tiny seeds scattered around.

On a sudden inspiration, Levi collected the seeds, wrapped them in a sturdy bag, and swallowed them.

Given his control over his body, he shouldn't be able to digest all those bags.

"In this way, you can carry a packet of Saintess Fruit seeds with you without losing their vitality, and then try planting them when you get back."

Considering the impending battle, Levi dared not casually place these seeds outside his body, for he would be heartbroken if they were destroyed in the fight.

According to the information Levi obtained, when the Ancient Tower closes, all those who entered will be automatically teleported back to their respective planes.

There is a limit to the number of keys available when you enter, but when you leave, you can take anything you are carrying with you back with you.

In this way, participants could even bring back extraordinary creatures from the Ancient Tower.

Of course, this is on the premise that he has the means to "carry" extraordinary creatures with him.

The determination of "carrying with one's body" is that the object is near the participant and is under their control.

"If only there were a living space that could be opened in any plane, I could grow a small medicinal garden on my person. If I encountered some rare plants during my travels between planes, I could transplant them back and plant them in the Ancient Saint Plane."

Unfortunately, even if such a treasure existed, it would be beyond my level of access.

After sighing, he looked behind him and saw two figures rapidly approaching him.

Roy and Jensen stopped, bowed, and said with a smile, "We are wizards from the Fire Bull Family. May I ask which school or organization you belong to? This place is fraught with danger. Why don't we cooperate?"

"I have no interest in cooperating. Please leave," Levi said politely.

His principle for this trip to the Ancient Tower was:

Avoid doing anything physically if possible, and avoid being broadcast live via projector.

Seeing that Levi refused to reveal his school of thought, the two knew that he was most likely a rogue cultivator without any power or support.

In such a perilous place, most organized wizards would try to use the organization's name to intimidate enemies and rejoin the organization's exploration team as soon as possible to avoid trouble.

"Let's do it!"

Sun Splitting Strike! Fire Dragon Guide! Two Fourth Ring spells attacked Levi in an instant.

These two weren't actually planning to cooperate; they just wanted to launch a sneak attack when he wasn't paying attention! But how could Levi be unprepared? Wind Dragon Swiftness! A vortex of air currents swirled around Levi, and in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he had already slipped behind the two of them.

His expression was cold, and the power within him erupted. His powerful aura shattered the ordinary robes used for disguise, revealing the pitch-black demonic armor underneath.

The crimson longsword flashed horizontally, its sword energy rippling outwards like a crescent moon! "What?"

Both of these Fire Bull Family wizards are Fourth Ring level, possess formidable strength, and have undergone specialized training, resulting in excellent teamwork.

However, to their horror, they discovered that the force field they had erected crumbled like paper before this man's longsword.

In an instant, the two Fourth Ring Wizard were cut in half at the waist, and the Red Emperor Dragon Flame engulfed them.

At the same time, the Sun Splitting Strike and the Fire Dragon Guide, engulfing Levi in flames.

As the flames subsided, Levi stood unharmed in the same spot.

He sheathed his longsword, and the entire process was completed in the blink of an eye—a kill in an instant!

"Even ordinary people from the Fourth Ring dare to cause me trouble... Looks like my outfit isn't fierce enough."

It's not that Levi is arrogant; it's just that these people are overestimating themselves.

He deliberately concealed his mental energy fluctuations, intending to appear unfathomable and so that other wizards would guess he was Primal Soul Wizard, thus avoiding trouble.

As it turned out, these two were incredibly ungrateful and actually followed Levi all the way, attempting to kill him and steal his treasure.

He could only kill them in self-defense, and he quickly collected their Storage Ring.

He glanced at it briefly, but there was nothing that appealed to him.

He left and continued his search for other Saintess Fruit in the swamp.

Ancient Saint Plane.

The Knight of the Twilight Temple trained while gazing at the sky, truly multitasking.

Suddenly, an image appeared on the first floor of the Ancient Tower.

"Look, the screen is finally up! Looks like the first battle has begun!"

In the scene, two wizards dressed in red robes unleash terrifying fire magic, sweeping forward.

Opposite them stood a fierce-looking, tall, and imposing Gray-Robed Wizard.

His figure flickered, as if he had teleported, and disappeared from sight. When he reappeared, he was already behind the two people.

Black flames filled the sky, gray robes exploded, demonic armor appeared, and a crimson longsword was drawn. With a casual stroke, the two men were cut in two, engulfed by flames. The next moment, the man walked out unharmed, as if the explosion that was powerful enough to shatter the Fourth Ring force field was just an illusion!

"This person is incredibly strong! No wonder the captain told us to observe the projection in the sky more often. This sword strike truly has a feeling of returning to simplicity and breaking through all laws with sheer force!"

"Um... I have a feeling this person is the commander?"

at the same time.

The House of Witches.

Triss stared at the Black Armor Swordsman had killed two Fourth Ring Wizard with a single strike.

When Levi appeared in the Wizard World, he always appeared as a wizard and never used Knight tactics in front of Triss.

Even Triss, who knew a lot about Levi, didn't connect this person with Levi.

However, such powerful explosive force and sword energy indicate that this person's physical body has reached an extremely powerful level.

In this situation, either the person has a powerful bloodline, such as a dragon descendant or Sea Race, or they have reached an extremely high level of cultivation in body refining techniques.

So she vaguely guessed that this person might be Levi, but she wasn't sure.

"If this person is Levi, that would be best. If not... I hope Ai Niya and Levi don't run into him, otherwise there might be danger. The opening of the Dark Ancient Tower this time has attracted too many monsters and prodigies."

Triss sighed.

The Central Realm.

The wizard in charge of compiling this Dark Ancient Tower list is in a dilemma.

He was a Great Wizard of the Oceanic School, known as the "Dragonfly Wizard".

He possesses profound skills, keen insight, and impartiality. His motto is: Never show favoritism, never make a wrong judgment! He is frequently invited to serve as a judge in the top wizard leagues of various schools of wizarding in the Wizard World.

"Have you found out? Which organization does this person belong to?"

"No, he seems to be Rogue Wizard, and he has definitely changed his appearance. We can't determine his true identity from his appearance alone. We checked the rosters of previous Wizarding Leagues and screened the best among them. Keywords include [Sword], [Black Armor], [Dual Cultivation of Body Refinement and Magic], [Dragonborn], etc... We did find a suspicious person."

Who is it?

"The Demon Dragon Sword Wizard, Sode Ross, is said to be a descendant of the level ten Purgatory Black King Dragon. Because of his deep love for mortal swordsmanship, he apprenticed under a Mortal World Legendary Knight to learn swordsmanship, later becoming a wizard of the Combustion School. He cultivated both body and magic, reaching the Fourth Ring of perfection at the age of two hundred. He even created the [Purgatory Demon Sword], combining swordsmanship and magic. Among those of the same level, he always defeated his enemies with a single strike, earning him the title [One-Sword Demon Wizard]. He was a three-time champion of the Nine Cities League. Then, he suddenly disappeared from public view. Some say it was to pursue the ultimate swordsmanship, some say it was to escape Origin Soul enemy, and others say it was because his mother was killed by a demon, and he went to Hell to seek revenge. In any case, he has been missing for over a hundred years, and since his disappearance, no one has been able to retain the Nine Cities League championship."

"Let me see his file."

"OK."

After reading it, the Dragonfly Wizard looked thoughtful.

"Some details don't match up, but the two do have a lot in common. Let's just assume he's the Magic Sword Dragon Wizard, since no one can verify it."

And so, the [Earth Ranking] of the Dark Ancient Tower Wizard Ranking was born.

Number one on the list: Demon Dragon Sword Wizard Sode Ross!

In an instant, the attention of Great Wizard organizations focused on him.

The Nine Cities Alliance, in particular, was in an uproar.

"Sword Master Sode Ross, that monster, has returned..."

Lost Swamp.

Levi was unaware that his battle was actually the first one to occur within the Dark Ancient Tower.

His heroic act of instantly killing two Fourth Ring Wizard with a single sword strike was witnessed by many.

He inexplicably became the number one on the Earth Ranking, even though he was impersonating someone else.

Levi did not rush to the next level.

Firstly, he needed to wait for Night Fang to join him.

Secondly, it is the first day that the Ancient Tower has opened. He can imagine that there are a bunch of Fifth Ring, Origin Soul- level wizards heading to the entrance of the next level. When there are too many people, fighting is inevitable.

For him, what he cared about most was not the Truth Wonder that other wizards coveted.

The thing he cared about most when he came to the Dark Ancient Tower.

One is the scarce medicinal herb resources, such as Saintess Fruit.

Secondly, he needs to find a way to bring back some of the extraordinary biological resources that have disappeared from the outside world, especially the high-level hybrid Dragonkind that he needs.

Thirdly, there are some rare minerals, which will facilitate the future advancement of my divine weapons.

Finally, there's the "Ageless Holy Grail" that he's been longing for.

Apart from that, everything else is up to fate.

He'd be happy to get it, but if he didn't, he could accept it completely; the lower his expectations, the less disappointed he would be.

Three days later.

Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the void around Levi, and a ferocious black winged dragon flew out from the shadow dimension. Upon seeing Levi, it affectionately circled around him.

"Very good."

Levi stroked Night Fang's head.

In this way, he can continue his exploration without any worries.

In the days that followed, Levi hid in the Lost Swamp, searching for medicinal herbs and reaping a bountiful harvest.

He picked over a thousand Saintess Fruit alone, achieving initial Saintess Fruit freedom! Apart from Levi, everyone else treated Saintess Fruit as ordinary plants, only Levi treasured them.

Meanwhile, as time went by, various conflicts continued to arise within the Dark Ancient Tower.

Soon, the Magic Sword Dragon Wizard was pushed down from the top spot on the Ancient Tower Ranking.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Lost Swamp.

"Fifth Ring medicinal herbs, Spider Silk Fruit, really good."

Levi picked and stored it away. Suddenly, the miasma behind him churned, and a giant spider the size of a house shot towards Levi.

"As expected, wherever the Spider Silk Fruit grows, there must be extraordinary spider-like creatures guarding it."

Levi recalled the description in the herbal medicine encyclopedia, and then unleashed a thunderous strike with his sword.

The spider was destroyed by the sword energy, and its juices spilled out.

It's just a level two extraordinary creature.

He removed the spider's fangs and venom sacs and collected them.

His Deep Blue Clone can absorb different kinds of deadly poisons to enhance its own toxicity.

Suddenly, a noise came from the Twilight Round Table, and the figure of the Hundred Flower Knight appeared.

She said, "As far as I know, the Leitney Family has already reached the Sixth Layer. I'm currently on the Fifth Layer. What level are you on? The House of Witches's wizard team has already reached the Third Layer."

"First floor... Seriously, you guys rushed in so fast?" Levi thought to himself, speechless.

He was having a great time picking Saintess Fruit in the Lost Swamp.

"Um... okay, I thought you were at least on the Third Layer. I have a map here leading to the portal before the fifth floor. You should get to the Fifth Layer as soon as possible. The first four floors are just transitional and selection stages in the Ancient Tower. The Fifth Layer is the final battlefield for all participants below the Origin Soul."

"Understood, please be careful too," Levi said with a grateful expression.

"OK."

Hundred Flowers nodded, and her figure gradually disappeared.

Levi stood there, muttering to himself, "With the Hundred Flower Knight ' abilities, entering the Seventh Layer shouldn't be a problem. The Eighth Layer and Ninth Layer will be much more difficult. Basically, only a seventh-ring or even Eighth Ring Wizard would have a chance."

In half a year, the number of people in the Lost Swamp has increased, but most of them are weaklings, while the stronglings have already entered the higher levels.

Levi now avoids anyone else he sees, to prevent a fight from being broadcast live.

After killing those two wizards, he never fought any other participants. This led to his rapid removal from the list.

Wizards and alien races alike gradually began to clash and collide on the first level.

Some wizards' rankings began to skyrocket.

Now, putting aside the Fifth Ring wizards, the Fourth Ring Wizard, who ranks first on the Earth Ranking, is firmly held by Flame Dragon Slayer Simon of the Combustion School.

In half a year, this genius from Noen City killed seven level-four alien races and five Fourth Ring Wizard.

Every battle ignites the passion of viewers in the Wizard World.

The Combustion School, in particular, was very pleased with themselves.

Of the top 100 spots, the Combustion School occupied one-fifth, and Simon was the only wizard to break into the top ten with Fourth Ring realms!

In addition, the Golden Light Wizard, the Sea Race nobles and other chosen ones also appeared at the forefront.

And the "Magic Sword Dragon Wizard" who made a fleeting appearance at the very beginning.

Apart from the members of the Twilight Temple who roughly knew his true identity, everyone had forgotten about him.

This year's Dark Ancient Tower has too many geniuses, completely different from the past, with dark horses emerging every day.

One after another, they take the stage; without absolute strength, it's difficult to suppress all rivals.

In the blink of an eye.

A year has passed.

The year 1166 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Green Grass.

In the misty swamp.

Levi moved like the wind, instantly killing another unruly swamp monster. After collecting all the materials, he looked at his Proficiency Panel.

Levi ——————

Thunder Dragon Flash: Eleventh Order (Limit)

Wind Dragon Swiftness: Ninth Rank (1/150,000) Ice Dragon Prison: Eighth Rank (13,678/100,000)...

"I've reached the limit with Thunder Dragon Flash. It wasn't easy. It's really difficult to grind Fourth Ring talent to perfection. Even with my talent, it's taken me this long."

In addition, Wind Dragon Swiftness has also broken through to the Ninth Rank. As for Ice Dragon Prison, which he just learned, although he has made some progress, he still has a long way to go before advancing to the next level.

Lost Swamp is a natural botanical garden.

Over the past year, Levi has found at least a hundred kinds of medicinal resources here, a third of which are extinct in the Wizard World.

Levi managed to collect some seeds from the herbs, and like Saintess Fruit, he stored them directly within his body.

He collected thousands of Saintess Fruit, enough to last him a long time even if the planting failed in the future.

Through Solett, Levi learned that the Primal Soul Wizard of the Leitney Family had entered the Sixth Layer of the Ancient Tower.

However, even Primal Soul Wizard would need to spend a considerable amount of time to enter the Seventh Layer.

Three days later.

Levi finally left the Lost Swamp where he had stayed for more than a year.

The first floor was indeed devoid of anything of value, so Levi, with Night Fang by his side, hurried on their way.

Several days later, he had arrived at the portal to the first level.

Near the portal, a large group of wizards and aliens had gathered. Levi Wei sensed that quite a few of them were at the third level.

They must have gotten the key by luck and never been discovered by other powerful individuals, or perhaps they had some special containment methods.

In short, these wizards all looked worried and helpless as they stared at the teleportation portal.

On either side of the portal stood a motionless, earthen-yellow rock statue.

A Third-Ring Wizard suddenly took to his flying artifact and flew straight toward the portal.

The immovable rock guardian suddenly opened its eyes, unleashing a Fourth Ring aura.

The two guards, one wielding a longsword and the other a giant shield.

Boom! The Third-Ring Wizard tried to force his way in had his Protective Force Field shattered by the guard's giant shield, and he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, slinking away in disgrace.

However, it was clear that the guard had held back; otherwise, he would have been smashed to pieces.

Having dealt with the intruder, the Rock Guardian immediately reverted to its statue form and closed its eyes.

Some of the Third-Ring Wizard looked grim upon seeing this.

"What should we do? One person can't beat them, and if many people join forces, the guards will become stronger. This gate is going to keep us Third-Ring Wizard out."

"Forget it, let's continue exploring the first level. The treasures beyond this level are out of our reach."

Previously, there was also a level-three alien race that lacked martial ethics. While others were trying to pass the level, they joined in, attempting to create the illusion of cooperation so that others would also fail.

Then, the man's leg was broken by the rock guard, a truly gruesome sight.

Clearly, these rock guardians are the orderkeepers of the first level, and no one dares to cause trouble here!

At that very moment.

A burly man dressed in black armor and carrying a long sword strode in, his every step making the earth tremble.

"Another one... The Ancient Tower has been open for a year, and he's still messing around on the first floor. His strength probably isn't that great."

A wizard muttered, waiting to see the black-armored giant make a fool of himself.

Levi drew his Red Dragon Ironcleaver, and the two rock guardians opened their eyes again.

With a whoosh, he transformed into a gust of wind and flew towards the teleportation portal.

The shield guards protected the portal with their shields, while the greatsword guards slashed at it with their terrifying greatswords, leaving a chasm in the ground with their shockwaves! Working together, they were a formidable force, even for ordinary Fourth Ring Wizard, let alone Third Ring.

"Annihilation!"

An unparalleled sword light struck, unstoppable! The greatsword that slashed down suddenly shattered, scattering into earth and stones.

The giant shield was destroyed by the aftershocks of the sword energy and collapsed with a crash!

The two rock guardians were instantly killed by the aftershocks of the sword energy!

Another sword strike, and the battle is over.

The Black Armor Swordsman vanished from everyone's sight in the next moment.

Before long, the two rock guardians were restored and stood in front of the portal again, waiting for the next challenger.

"Hiss... He killed two Fourth Ring guards with a single sword strike. That's at least the strength of a perfect Fourth Ring. Those with similar strength are already on the Third Layer. How come he's still on the first level?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's a rogue Body Refinement Wizard who doesn't have a map and can't find this place for a while."

at the same time.

On the first wall of the Ancient Tower, a projection began to appear.

A Black Armor Swordsman transformed into a streak of light, and with another unremarkable sword strike, the rock guardian that had stumped many Fourth Ring Wizard collapsed in response.

The Fire Monarch Grievous, who had been watching the show with his chin resting on his hand, looked away from the projection on the upper level and gazed at the projection on the first level. He suddenly laughed and said, "Interesting. A year has passed, and this little guy is still on the first level. That sword strike just now was a pure power strike, simple and unadorned, yet incredibly powerful. I really hope he has a fight with those stone golems of the Amethyst Clan."

Twilight Temple.

"It's been a year... Where did the commander go? Have any of you seen his projection at the higher levels?"

"No, the guild leader only appeared once at the beginning of the game, and then he disappeared... Could he be in danger?"

"Yes, watching wizards fight is boring. I want to see the captain fight, with every punch landing and every sword flashing, showing the heroic spirit of us Knight!"

Suddenly, the projection on the first floor lit up again. The figure of the Black Armor Swordsman reappeared!

Another sword strike to defeat the enemy, easily clearing the level!

"It's the captain... That sword strike was so cool! But why is he still on the first floor? I think the Hundred Flower Knight has already killed a powerful alien on the Sixth Layer."

"What do you know? This is the guild leader's strategy. Let them have a few levels first, and then when they think they're about to win, he'll sweep through them and storm into the higher levels!"

Ancient Tower.

The second layer.

As soon as Levi stepped into this place, he felt a wave of heat.

From the shadows behind him, Night Fang's figure emerged, transforming into a black winged dragon.

The second level of the Dark Ancient Tower is similar to the Crimson Realm, with a high concentration of fire elemental power.

Combustion School would thrive here.

Based on the second-level map given to him by Triss, Levi spent several months searching various resource points. He didn't find the Truth Wonder, but he did acquire some rare fire elemental herbs.

This day.

Inside a black cave filled with the smell of sulfur.

This is not a resource point; Levi is chasing a hybrid Dragonkind and has ended up here.

At that moment, his eyes shone brightly, and his face was filled with excitement.

In front of him stood a tall, fiery red shrub, its metallic sheen exceptionally beautiful.

Around the bushes, there was a giant Red Scales python with a fiery red horn and a slender body, about twenty feet long. It raised its head and hissed warningly.

"I just randomly grabbed a level four Red Horn Fire Python, and unexpectedly I picked up a level six [Iron Tree] sapling for free... It seems you two should come with me. Could it be that the Lovers Rune is working?"

The Red Horn Fire Python is a level four hybrid Dragonkind, essential for Levi Xiuwei's Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique.

In fact, he had enough Secret Medicine reserves to enter the Fifth Layer, but he would naturally not let go of the opportunity to obtain a hybrid Dragonkind ahead of time.

The Red Horn Fire Python unleashed its fiery breath, Levi strolled leisurely amidst the intense heat, like Demon King.

The fire python trembled, its body pressed against the wall!

Suddenly, it shot out, its single horn stabbing towards Levi.

Levi grabbed the unicorn with his large hand and then performed an over-the-shoulder throw.

Boom! The underground cave trembled, the giant snake writhed, and wailed.

"Come with me. I'll only say this once," Levi said calmly.

Even if a level-four hybrid Dragonkind cannot speak, its intelligence is certainly not low.

The Red Horn Fire Python was terrified and stood frozen in place, clearly reacting to the stress.

From the shadows behind Levi, Shadow Wyvern emerged.

He also released the Wind Thunder Winged Dragon from the Book of Seals.

"I am also Dragonkind, we are family. I will not do anything to you. Look at them, aren't they living well? It's so boring to stay in this small world all day. Follow me, and you can see more scenery."

After a series of combined tactics, both soft and hard,

The Red Horn Fire Python finally submitted, its body suddenly shrinking and coiling around Levi's arm like a black ring.

"Interesting. You can even use magic at will. It seems your bloodline is quite good."

Levi touched the snake's head, and then went to the Iron Tree.

Using the Red Dragon Ironcleaver, he quickly dug up the Iron Tree and the land it was on.

Then his body continued to expand, and in the blink of an eye, he had become a black-armored giant three stories high.

After assembling the Iron Tree, he swallowed it.

In fact, wizards have a special general spell called "Shrink," which is a low-level spell that can shrink objects to make them easier to carry.

However, like Storage Ring, it is only suitable for inanimate objects. Forcibly shrinking a living object will only cause it to lose its vitality.

Levi had no choice but to grow larger and swallow it whole.

"Excellent! After returning, we will plant it in the Ancient Saint Plane. It can be called a guardian tree!"

Don't underestimate the small size of the Iron Tree now; theoretically, Iron Tree can grow to a hundred feet tall! Based on its growth cycle, on average, the Iron Tree grows one foot every hundred years, and it will be fully mature after ten thousand years.

At that time, the Iron Tree will stop growing, and thereafter it will flower and bear fruit every year, producing a medicinal material called "Rust Fruit".

This fruit is the main ingredient in many level-six potions. It is especially essential for refining body-refining potions needed by Body Refinement Wizard! Regular consumption can also enhance the physique and defense of Origin Soul- level Body Refinement Wizard, and create "Rust Rune" for protection.

The Iron Tree of today are only seedlings, and they look to be less than a hundred years old.

But in Levi's view, its value is no less than that of the Truth Wonder.

Even if it were a fully grown Iron Tree, he couldn't take it with him.

After finishing all this, Levi left the place.

"The Ancient Tower has been open for a year now, and most of the Primal Soul Wizard have already gone to the sixth floor and above to seek their own opportunities. The first five floors should only have Fifth Ring and Fourth Ring Wizard left. As long as I am careful, I should be safe from now on. I don't need to stay at the bottom anymore. Let's hurry up and go to the Fifth Layer."

According to historical records, the first four levels of the Ancient Tower represent the four elements: earth, fire, wind, and water.

The Fifth Layer is a convergence of Earth-Fire Wind-Water, extremely vast, larger than the previous four levels combined, its area comparable to some large planes. There, many rare plants and animals, mineral resources, and even Truth Wonder have been nurtured.

One week later.

He arrived at the portal to the second level, which was similar to the first level, where a group of unwilling wizards were still being blocked outside.

However, after screening, there are no longer any Third-Ring Wizard here; they are all Fourth Ring Wizard.

The portal to the second level is located in the center of a terrifying ocean of lava.

In the ocean of lava, Levi saw many Fire Elemental Spirit lurking within.

A weak Fourth Ring Wizard, having just stepped inside, was rammed by a level-four peak fire boar and left covered in dust.

Levi charged into the sea of lava, longsword in hand, slaying Fire Elemental Spirit one after another, who then fell into the lava below.

By the time he reached the portal, four level-four Fire Elemental Spirit had already been killed.

These creatures do not truly die; they were created by the creators of the Ancient Tower, Sauron, using a special array.
