Self-Created Battle Technique: The Heavenly Dragon Sword Canon!

Dark Ancient Tower, Fourth Layer, Sea Continent.

A few days later, Levi finished taking stock of the spoils he had captured some time ago.

Levi destroyed two wizarding organizations, Thunder God's Hammer and Thousand Wind Valley, and then some Rogue Wizard were unfortunately caught up in the conflict.

It seemed passionate and exciting, but in reality, not many people were killed; the main ones killed were two Fifth Ring wizards.

He wouldn't go so far as to massacre all wizards; that would only harm himself. After all, there are so many wizards, and if some of them are just pretending to be weak while actually being strong, he would be caught off guard.

Of course, even so, the gains were still quite substantial.

The total amount of Great Stone is three million. Currently, Levi's Great Stone reserves have reached as much as 15 million. He has never been so wealthy, even in the Wizard World.

It just goes to show that these top wizarding organizations are really rich, bringing so many Great Stone with them when they entered the Ancient Tower.

In addition, Levi also seized two Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact; one was contributed by the Black Thunder Wizard, and the other by the one from the Valley of Thousand Wind Valley.

Other Fifth Ring wizards may not even have Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact, Levi already has more than he can use.

In addition, there are abundant medicinal herb resources and mineral resources.

If these resources were taken to the Wizard World, they could probably start from scratch and build a Fifth Ring wizarding family.

Levi discovered that he had almost finished assembling the recipe for the [Demon Soul Potion], which he would use to aid meditation after reaching the Fifth Ring.

Once he advances to the Fifth Ring, he will no longer need to worry about the Fifth Ring Meditation Aid Potion.

"It has to be the Dark Ancient Tower! If this were in the Wizard World, with my status and position, gathering so many materials would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens!"

Knowledge of things like magic and the three arts of wizardry has also been greatly expanded.

Besides the usual gains mentioned above, what surprised Levi were two things he obtained from the Black Thunder Wizard.

One of them is the Truth Wonder.

He stretched out his hand, and a fat, purple worm appeared in his palm, wriggling constantly, with flashes of lightning occasionally emanating from it. Even a force field that was not from a mid-level wizard could not withstand it.

According to Levi's consultation with the Truth Wonder Illustrated Handbook, this is an Earth-level wonder, the [Thunder Worm Chrysalis].

This rare item can only be created in places rich in lightning element, under certain conditions.

The Thunder Worm Chrysalis is merely the first form of this strange creature.

If it can safely nurture for thousands of years in a place rich in lightning element, it may evolve into a Sky-level wonder, the [Thunder Butterfly]. Its effects would be far more powerful than those of Thunder Worm Chrysalis.

Of course, Levi didn't have time to wait for it to undergo a thousand-year transformation. He was going to refine it now.

The second find was a black ball of lightning that kept disappearing.

The lightning ball seemed to possess a spirit, trembling incessantly in Levi's palm.

Levi didn't know what this thing was at first, but there was a book in the Black Thunder Wizard's ring called "Illustrated Handbook of Strange Thunder".

The above details nearly a hundred different types of Thunder the Thunder School wizards have discovered so far.

Most of the Thunder in this world is the most basic purple Thunder, which is also the basic lightning technique of the Thunder School, Thunder Dragon Family.

Besides the purple lightning, there are all sorts of strange and unusual types of lightning.

These different types of lightning vary greatly in power; some are even stronger than purple lightning, such as the Leitney Family's [Golden Lightning].

Some lightning bolts are less powerful than purple lightning in terms of sheer force. For example, there's a type called "Thunder of Ten Thousand Poisons," which has very poor basic destructive power but possesses extremely strong negative energy toxicity, capable of corroding all things, even the Origin Soul of High-Rank Wizard! Another type of Black Thunder Wizard is called "Black Annihilation Thunder." Its destructive power is similar to purple lightning, but this Thunder has extremely strong adhesiveness. If struck, it will relentlessly inflict continuous damage on the enemy, requiring a long time to eradicate. Therefore, its actual power is comparable to "Golden Lightning."

This strange type of Thunder is similar to Truth Wonder, born and nurtured by nature.

Unlike other rare items, if the owner of a different type of Thunder dies, it can be separated again and choose a new owner.

In terms of rarity, this [Black Annihilation Thunder] is even rarer than the [Thunder Worm Chrysalis]!

Levi carefully sealed it in a specially made container, intending to study it first and not rush to refine it. His immediate priority was to refine the Truth Wonder.

Having gained experience from the previous two refining attempts, this time it was much easier. Six months later, Levi successfully refined the wondrous object.

Inside the island.

Levi opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with lightning.

He looked inward into his mind and discovered that 441 spiritual stars had been condensed within the Law Ring Holy Tower.

He placed his hand on the Klein Crystal Ball.

[Mental Strength: 441/540]

[Art Power: 20250]

"What a pity, this wondrous item didn't directly enhance my mental strength," Levi sighed.

It seems that not all rare items can directly increase mental power; only top-tier items like the [Weasel Scythe's Breath] can do so.

The Thunder Worm Chrysalis can also enhance the power of lightning spells. Levi tested it and found that the speed of Thunder Dragon Flash was significantly increased.

Moreover, if someone only has two Third Ring talents, the Thunder Worm Chrysalis can make up for their shortcomings and complete their talents.

Levi is already a sixth-tier, Fourth Ring Wizard, so he doesn't need this ability.

However, he could sense that his Thunder Dragon Flash talent was somewhat different from before.

Presumably, for a wizard like him who is already full of talent, the Truth Wonder can make up for the flaws and deficiencies in his talent, which should also be beneficial for advancing his Origin Soul.

In summary, the most useful effect for Levi is the increase of 10 points to his maximum mental strength.

This means that his success rate in advancing to the Origin Soul has increased by 1% in the future.

What may seem insignificant is actually a huge step forward each time.

With the help of three Earth-level rare artifacts, Levi's success rate has increased by an additional 4%.

It's important to know that the success rate of some ordinary Origin Soul breakthrough potions is only in the single digits.

After digesting the strange object, he disguised himself as an ordinary wizard and took a trip to the Sea Continent during his spare time from cultivation.

Even without the oppression of top-tier wizarding organizations, ordinary wizards didn't have an easy life.

Melee, slaughter, factionalism, intrigue, endless fighting.

Levi lamented that humanity could never escape this pattern.

After one mountain is toppled, another new one rises up, and the cycle repeats itself.

The oppressed ordinary wizards will one day become the new oppressors.

But in general, rather than having all the resources concentrated in the hands of those top wizarding organizations, Levi would prefer them to be obtained by these ordinary wizards.

When he was weak, he was oppressed by the Thunder Dragon Family many times.

Of course, all this commotion had nothing to do with Levi. He also looked down on the remaining resources on the mainland.

Next, his goals were twofold: firstly, to continue practicing his Breathing Technique Breathing Technique and advance more of them to the Blood Source Fourth Transformation Realm; and secondly, to use the Flying Weasel to pinpoint the locations of several resource points.

These places are inhabited by creatures of level five or above without exception.

Near one of the resource points, the Flying Weasel even spotted a giant octopus with tentacles a kilometer long, resembling the legendary creature, the Deep Sea Kraken —a genuine Level 6 creature! In Nora's history, some mortals and Wizard Apprentice have witnessed the Kraken's terror.

Levi obtained a book called "The Siren Breathing Technique" in his early years, and its prototype was very likely Deep Sea Kraken!

The area within a radius of tens of thousands of miles Deep Sea Kraken was designated a forbidden zone by Levi; absolutely no one was allowed to enter!...

The year 1176 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Origin.

The 11th year of the Dark Ancient Tower Calendar.

The 75th Round Table Conference of the Twilight Knight Order was held.

At this meeting, the Twilight Knight Order used up all three remaining slots.

After more than a century of accumulating strength, the Knight Order produced four First Level Knight last year, a first in history.

These four were selected through a competition, with one person eliminated and three finalists chosen.

They are respectively the Bear Mountain Knight, the Snow Dragon Knight, and the Pheasant Knight.

Among them, the Bear Mountain Knight and the Snow Dragon Knight both practiced power-type Breathing Technique, while the Pheasant Knight practiced speed-type Breathing Technique.

Their Breathing Technique were not of perfect quality, but their talent was exceptional, and they practiced diligently, eventually all of them successfully advancing to the next level.

All eighteen Knight sat upright, and even the Hundred Flower Knight, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, was present.

Looking at so many faces, Levi said with emotion, "Gentlemen, being one of the Twilight Eighteen Knights is not just a position, but a symbol. In the days to come, I hope you will continue to work hard and strive for even higher goals. Also... the younger generation surpasses the older generation, so cultivate yourselves well, or you may be eliminated at any time."

"Clear!"

Xiong Shan, Snow Dragon, and the Pheasant Knight all nodded, a sense of crisis and urgency rising within them.

Apart from those three, the other Knight have already fallen far short of the Temple's average level, so they are unlikely to be eliminated.

Therefore, the ones we really need to pay attention to are them!

The main purpose of this meeting was to welcome the new students; there were no major issues to discuss.

Afterwards, the Hundred Flower Knight convened a separate meeting with Levi.

"Good evening, Commander."

"I'm relieved to see you're safe and sound."

"Are you concerned about me?" Hundred Flowers asked with a smile.

Levi smiled and said, "Yes... but I care about all the members."

"Getting back to the main point, I'd like to report to you on the recent situation."

"Speaking."

"The Leitney Family sent a Primal Soul Wizard with Solett into the Thunder Pool Secret Realm, and I've also infiltrated it. However, this secret realm is vast, and the power of lightning element is abundant within. I can't fully utilize my strength. At present, it seems unlikely that I can snatch food from the mouth of the Leitney Family, who are thriving there."

"Understood. Your priority is to save your own life. Save Solett if you can, but if you can't, then abandon him. You can't waste too much time on this matter."

"Don't worry too much about me. I've already gained a lot on the Seventh Layer. It was worth the trip. I should thank you for giving me the key to get in... By the way, is everything going well on your end?"

"Hmm, it's alright."

Levi was far from just "good enough." After entering the Ancient Tower, he had already refined two Truth Wonder. Along the way, he had amassed a fortune by scavenging trash, along with countless resources. Of course, these things were not to be told to outsiders.

"Oh, right, Commander, there's something I forgot to tell you. I have some friends from the Panda Plane who have also entered the Ancient Tower —those adorable Bearmen. If you encounter them, you can lend them a hand within your means. And if you're in trouble, they'll definitely be happy to help you too," said the Hundred Flower Knight.

"I see."

She chatted with the Hundred Flower Knight for quite a while before logging off.

When will I be able to summon Origin Soul?

Suddenly, Levi sighed and returned to his solitary, repetitive days of spiritual practice.

Time flies when you're on a spiritual journey; four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The year 1180 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

Besides holding Round Table Conference every year to learn about the outside world and the situation in Ancient Tower, Levi spends all his time gaining experience on the island.

This year alone, Andrew has become Second-Ring Wizard, living up to his identity Child of Earth Element.

The Black Knight, who reached the First-Circle Wizard realm earlier than him, is now barely First Ring wizard, which shows the difference in wizarding talent.

And Andrew's Knight cultivation level is also very close to level two.

Levi was very optimistic about Andrew's potential; this kid had the potential to become his true right-hand man.

Over the past four years, the Black Knight and the Holy Ape Knight have also successively entered the Blood Source Second Transformation realm.

The Silver Dragon Knight and Dark Moon Knight of the middle generation are not far from reaching level three.

The new generation of First Level Knight are striving to become second-level knights.

Over the past four years, with the improvement of the Knight theoretical system, the enrichment of practical experience, and the increase in the number of personnel, several more First Level Knight have emerged in the Temple.

Levi no longer pays much attention to these things.

With the elders of the Knights of Knight around, he didn't need to worry about matters of the Temple.

For the past four years, the Ancient Saint Plane remained secluded overseas, undisturbed. Occasionally, some ignorant wizards or aliens have strayed into the magic circle, but they have been easily killed.

In the Nightmare World, his forces are growing in number, and he has already discovered some clues about the Nightmare Dragon Clan, searching for their exact location. Once he finds the Nightmare Dragon Clan, Levi will personally enter and subdue them.

The Dark Ancient Tower has been open for 15 years to date.

Fifteen years is neither a long nor a short time.

On the Fourth Layer the ancient Ancient Tower, on the Sea Continent, the chaotic situation has largely ended. Thanks to the Three-Headed Dragon Spawn and Rose, these Rogue Wizard have gained something, ensuring they won't return empty-handed.

Of course, the top wizarding organizations outside were furious with those two bastards, Dragon Spawn and Matriarch.

So many resources, wasted on Rogue Wizard —it's infuriating! Normally, these resources would be destroyed rather than given to Rogue Wizard. That would only strengthen the unstable elements and threaten their dominance.

After four years of cultivation, Levi became more reserved and gradually put away the arrogant aura that Dragon Spawn once possessed.

At this moment, he is on the beach, facing the sea, practicing his sword skills.

His sword technique consists of only one strike, called "Undying Dragon Slash".

This was a level four sword skill that he had created long ago by borrowing from the Headless Swordsman's "Undead Slash" and incorporating his own ideas.

Now, he has mastered this swordsmanship to a level of consummate skill.

For the past four years, he has been researching sword techniques that are even more powerful than the Annihilation Sword Qi.

Finally, things have started to look promising.

He suddenly unleashed Annihilation Sword Qi, and then unleashed the Undying Dragon Slash.

I continuously experienced the changes and mysteries of these two sword techniques.

Ultimately, his two sword techniques became increasingly harmonious.

He was completely absorbed in practicing swordsmanship, day and night.

He forgot about Meditation Technique and Breathing Technique, and gradually all that remained in his mind was the sword in his hand.

At some point, Levi suddenly had an epiphany, and he continued to learn and explore sword techniques that suited him.

On the Proficiency Panel, [Annihilation Sword Qi], [Undying Dragon Slash], and the combat skills that Levi learned and that were created by other members kept flashing and changing.

"The skill of the sword should not be bound by form, but should conform to my will. The myriad variations of swordsmanship are only to express the will in my heart with my ultimate power, to shatter the shackles and cages that bind me, and to cut down all things that do not conform to my will! My will is... the dragon! The dragon is the embodiment of power, the strongest creature, the end of mythology!"

After an unknown period of time, the Crimson Emperor Dragon Power within Levi suddenly burst forth, merging with the longsword in his hand.

Accompanied by a dragon's roar.

A phantom Scarlet Dragon then slashed out, engulfed in raging flames, and charged into the sea with unstoppable momentum!

He has perfectly combined his sword skills with the Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique.

This sword strike unleashed the invincible, all-powerful aura of the Red Emperor Dragon!

This sword strike is the ultimate in power! It is powerful and heavy, capable of splitting a mountain in two, with a grand and sweeping motion!

Boom! Wherever the Red Emperor Dragon Sword Qi passed, the sea before them suddenly split open into a wide and expansive road leading to the heavens!

White mist rises, the seabed is revealed, sea fish boil, sea beasts scatter, and the sword energy ceases a thousand feet away.

Levi gently waved his hand, and the separated seawater chasm merged back together.

"That last sword strike, without using the power of the Six Paths Heavenly God or any enhancements, relied solely on the pure Crimson Emperor Dragon Power and the inherent power of the sword technique itself, yet it reached a level five. Without a doubt, this is a level five combat skill. After over a hundred years of cultivation, I've finally created a sword technique commensurate with my strength. Although it's only one move, it's more than enough. This sword technique has great potential for future development; any new sword techniques can be incorporated into it. Let's simply name it ' Sky Dragon Sword Canon.' And what should we name the first move of the Sky Dragon Sword Canon?"

"The Roar of the Red Dragon? That sounds so cheesy and lacks sophistication."

Levi, who was terrible at naming things, fell into deep thought. His sword moves had already broken free from the constraints of this world, which were bound by rigid forms, and had developed a freehand style reminiscent of ink splashing and brushstrokes.

He pondered deeply before saying, "This sword strike, incorporating the true essence of the Red Emperor Dragon, is like a flying dragon in the sky, surpassing everything. Let's just call it... Red Dragon Ascends the Sky."

Levi sheathed his sword and put it into his body. On this day, his strength once again achieved a leap forward.

By combining the characteristics and artistic conception of the other five dimensions of Breathing Technique, Levi can continue to create even more sword moves. The "Sky Dragon Sword Canon" will then become a constantly evolving and perfectly suited sword technique for Levi.

Levi opened the Proficiency Panel, where he had mastered all the combat skills he had previously learned, forming a complete "Sky Dragon Sword Canon".

Levi ——————

Sky Dragon Sword Canon: Tenth Rank (1/200,000), Special Effect: Sky Dragon Sword Intent.

[Sky Dragon Sword Intent: The dragon soars through the nine heavens, its intent reaching far and wide. You can comprehend the essence of a dragon and unleash its divine might with your sword. Your comprehension of sword techniques is extraordinary.] "I have now embarked on a completely different path of swordsmanship. From now on, I am the leader of the Sky Dragon Sword Dao... and it seems I am the only one." Levi said self-deprecatingly.

In these four years, in addition to comprehending the Sky Dragon Sword Canon, Levi has also made progress in his Breathing Technique.

Although the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique still lacks an earth-type Dragonkind, it can still be practiced with the help of the dragon turtle, although the speed is not as fast as having both elements.

Both the Red Emperor Dragon and Sky Dragon Breathing Technique are steadily improving, but they are still far from reaching the sixteenth level of perfection.

Next, Levi estimated that he would reach the Seventeenth-Order after becoming Fifth Ring wizard.

The Scarlet Dragon and Death Ember Dragon Breathing Technique are still quite far from reaching level sixteen; they can only be refined slowly.

The Way of the Wizard.

Of the six innate spells, only the sixth innate spell, Ice Dragon Prison, is not yet fully perfected.

Levi wasn't in a hurry. Since entering the Ancient Tower, he hadn't used his wizarding skills for a long time in order to play the role of the Dragon Spawn.

In fact, with his current strength, he doesn't even need innate magic to kill his enemies.

Levi gazed at the sea and pondered, "It's time to go out to sea to collect resources... But before that, I'll give the Lovers Rune a final push; metaphysics is still quite useful."

Levi immediately entered seclusion mode.

On the island, Sokins was counting the Gold Coins he had hidden in his belly over and over again, his eyes filled with fascination. He truly loved money, purely and simply.

The dragon turtle, on the other hand, diligently cultivates itself under the guidance of Levi's success-oriented marketing principles.

In this respect, it is different from those hybrid Dragonkind, despite being Dragon Spawn.

Most hybrid Dragonkind are content with their lot and rarely have any inherited secret techniques.

The dragon turtle knew that although it had a long lifespan, it grew too slowly, which is why it decided to start early.

Other extraordinary creatures also grew up on the island.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, Month of the Freezing Winter has arrived.

On the island, Levi broke through the barrier, his momentum soaring to the heavens.

"Hahaha, the Lovers Rune is now at Sixth Order, with a 50% increase in luck. I refuse to believe this trip was fruitless!"

Levi used metaphysics to numb himself and left the island.

The Dark Ancient Tower.

The Fifth Layer.

The "Youth Plain" is one of the Confluence Land.

This place is ruled by a kingdom that worships the "Goddess of Youth," a kingdom called the Ancient Banyan Empire. At the center of the kingdom stands an ancient banyan tree, a thousand feet tall, like a mountain.

At the base of the tree, there is a hollow. Passing through the hollow, you can enter the "Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm" and meet the Goddess of Youth. Legend has it that the goddess is immortal and lives there all year round.

In the fairyland, there is a spring called the "Spring of Youth," which can also be called the "Fountain of Youth."

The Spring of Youth has the effect of prolonging life. If an ordinary person drinks one sip, they will stay young forever; if they drink two sips, they will live a long and healthy life; and if they drink three sips, living to a hundred years old without illness or disaster is not a problem.

This day.

A group of uninvited guests arrived at the Youth Plain.

One of them had an aloof expression and wore a white sorcerer's robe embroidered with tornadoes. A pure white dragon was seen breathing clouds and mist in the wind, and this person had a single pure white horn on his forehead.

He rode a giant purple wolf, which, though called a wolf, was actually covered in dragon scales, had horns on its forehead, wings on its back, and its head was a hybrid of a dragon and a wolf.

The Dragon Spawn, Thunderstorm Wolf Dragon, can rival the Primal Soul Wizard in its fully evolved form.

The fact that someone can ride such a creature shows that they are extraordinary.

He is none other than the hidden ace of Hurricane Sky Island, Sky Dragon Wizard Seros! He rarely makes a move, so so far, his Ancient Tower Ranking is not high, far inferior to the Flame Dragon Slayer, but his true strength remains unknown!

Sky Dragon Wizard said calmly, "Someone, open the passage to the Ancient Banyan Secret Realm."

"My lord, this is not a good idea. What if we anger the Ancient Banyan King..."

Sky Dragon Wizard frowned slightly and said coldly, "Just do what I tell you to do, don't talk nonsense."

The subordinates dared not delay and immediately flew towards the tree hole.

The ancient banyan tree stood silently, its branches swaying without making a sound.

The man successfully entered the tree hollow and said happily, "Lord Selos, the entrance to this secret realm is open."

Selos said calmly, "Then go and retrieve the Spring of Youth. I want to see what it is and whether it is as miraculous as rumored. If it can also prolong the life of wizards, then it is an immeasurable treasure."

After the wizard entered the tree hollow, he arrived at a secret realm.

Here, ancient trees reach for the sky, streams murmur in the forest, and on the distant horizon, there is even an endless sea.

He moved through it carefully.

In the center of the secret realm stands a grand hall with an ancient and simple design.

"I found the Spring of Youth so easily, something feels off."

In the center of the main hall, there is a pool of water from which Clear Spring flows.

A naked young woman with skin as white as mutton fat and a graceful figure was bathing in it. In her hands she held an ancient golden Holy Grail, which was carved with giant trees and dragons and looked like something other than ordinary.

"Excuse me, are you the Goddess of Youth? May I fetch some of the Fountain of Youth? In return, I will pay you some reward."

Wizards do not believe in gods; the so-called goddesses are merely some higher-level beings.

"You should leave. These springs are only useful to mortals. They are of no use to a spellcaster like you who has already achieved a higher level of spiritual attainment," the girl said.

"I understand. If I wanted to take some out... I didn't mean to bother you, but I'm under orders and have to take some out." He said with a helpless, bitter smile.

The girl pondered for a moment, then said, "How about this, ten thousand Great Stone can be exchanged for a cup of the Spring of Youth."

The wizard's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Thank you! I'll have a cup then."

He took out the Great Stone and made a deal with the girl.

After the transaction was completed, he left in a hurry, while the girl sat by the pool, her beautiful little feet dangling.

Outside.

Sky Dragon Wizard looked at his subordinates who had returned.

"Did you get it?" he asked.

"I got it. Just as you guessed, sir. This thing only works on mortals. Its effects are similar to some potions in the Wizard World, nothing special," he said.

Sky Dragon Wizard took the spring water and examined it carefully. He asked, "Besides this, are there any other special treasures?"

"It's just a girl whose background I can't figure out, and a Holy Grail."

"The Holy Grail?" the Sky Dragon Wizard murmured.

This Holy Grail must be a treasure.

However, as he looked at the towering ancient banyan tree, a faint but palpable pressure emanated from it. He suppressed his Greed and sighed, "Let's go. This place is not meant for us."

Just then, countless branches suddenly sprouted from the ground, and in an instant, several wizards were pierced through, their force fields shattering like paper.

Only the Sky Dragon Wizard roared, and a towering tornado enveloped him, blocking the attacks.

"Interesting, little kid, you actually managed to block my sneak attack."

A tall and graceful figure appeared, her wheat-colored skin particularly eye-catching; it was Rose, who had entered the Fifth Layer.

Suddenly, the Thunderstorm Wolf Dragon beneath the Sky Dragon Wizard unleashed thousands of purple lightning orbs, transforming the area into a sea of Thunder. He himself transformed into a half-dragon, dominating the storm! Boom! After this earth-shattering attack, Rose's expression remained unchanged. A streak of lightning swiftly fled through the dust and smoke.

Knowing he was no match for Rose, Sky Dragon Wizard had already escaped!

Rose did not give chase. She turned around, a smile on her lips, and looked at the silent Ancient Banyan King, saying resentfully, "I said I would come back."

On the surface of the Ancient Banyan King, a girl's phantom appeared. She calmly said, "Thirty thousand years after you died, you can still be resurrected. You are indeed worthy of being the Elf Mistress who was separated from the Pandora Divine Tree... It's just a pity that thirty thousand years later, I have advanced to the sixth level. With the decline of the other, you are no longer my match. Rose, give up. I don't like fighting, and I don't want to kill you."

Rose said coldly, "Hand over the Holy Grail, and I will leave."

The girl sighed, "The Holy Grail is not meant for you. Don't even think about it. Even if it were given to you, it wouldn't be of any use. Many wizards more powerful than you have come here before, and they all left in the end."

Rose's long hair flew behind her, and her aura reached its peak!

"You say you've reached level six? I don't believe you! You're just an ordinary banyan tree, how could you possibly have advanced to level six? You're just bluffing!"

The next moment, she attacked the ancient banyan tree.

The earth cracked open, and suddenly a huge black pillar rose up—or rather, the aerial roots of a banyan tree! The aerial roots, like whips of the earth, lashed out, shattering the void and tearing apart the white clouds!

Boom! Like a pillar supporting the sky collapsing, Rose's perfect Fifth Ring attack was shattered, and she was split in two and sent flying backward. "Don't force me to kill you. I told you, I don't like fighting."

Rose coughed up blood, her face was pale, but her body had recovered.

She gazed at the Ancient Banyan King and said unwillingly, "I will come back again!"

The girl gazed at Rose's retreating figure and murmured, "Don't come again. Next time, I'll kill you... Rose."

She stroked the Holy Grail in her arms, and a calm voice suddenly came from within Holy Grail: "This Elven Race woman is truly persistent."

The year 1181 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Green Grass.

The Fourth Layer of the Ancient Tower.

A bottomless abyss.

Levi sensed a level 5 being here and guessed that there was a resource point here.

His Hermit Rune flashed, and he had already reached the seabed.

This place is covered with strange plants that emit fluorescence.

"Fluorescent Grass, highly poisonous, yet a precious level-five herb, a key ingredient in the Demon Soul Potion. Wait, there's even a two-thousand-year-old one! That's a level-six herb..."

Levi was in a great mood.

With this, he only needed one more ingredient for his Demon Soul Potion. All the other ingredients were now complete.

As far as he knew, the last main ingredient was distributed on the Fifth Layer.

At this moment, a pair of enormous blue pincers emerged from the seabed silt, followed by eyes as bright as searchlights.

As the ocean currents rolled, an enormous, indigo-colored lobster with giant claws appeared.

"Why does this feel like Sokins's good brother?"

Levi's expression shifted, and he quickly left the seabed.

The large blue lobster, its tail thumping, chased after it like a cannonball.

Levi dared not act here, fearing he would ruin the herbs.

Come and chase me.

He casually unleashed a jet of black flame at the lobster's hard shell, yet it left no mark.

Soon, Levi out of the water. A sense of danger washed over him, and he vanished from the spot in a flash.

The lobster's giant claws ripped open the sea surface and clamped down on his original spot.

Boom! The shockwave swept in! The waves surged skyward!

"Not bad power, but unfortunately it's still a bit lacking compared to Sokins. What's your name? If you're willing to follow me, you can avoid some physical pain, otherwise... Ouch! You actually dare to attack me! I think you're tired of living. Today I'll teach you how to respect the strong and show you what a truly powerful race is!"

Levi attempted to persuade them to surrender, but was instead blasted thousands of meters away by a high-pressure water cannon shot from the lobster's mouth.

He flew over, his Black Scale overlapping and surrounded by black flames, cursing and swearing.

"Take this!"

The Wolf Tooth Club collided with the lobster's giant claw—a pure physical attack, simple and unadorned! The lobster and Levi were blasted far away.

Levi was tiny compared to the lobster, but his strength was by no means inferior.

This kind of brutal, hand-to-hand combat made the dragon blood in Levi's body boil.

In the end, without relying on the Six Paths Heavenly God, Levi smashed the lobster's shell, causing its juices to flow freely.

"Hehehe, are you convinced or not! If not, let's fight again! But, I'm about to draw my sword!"

Levi laughed wildly, stomping the lobster onto an island. He drew the Red Dragon Ironcleaver from his body, the longsword blazing with black flames, pointing it at the lobster with an air of invincibility!

This lobster's strength is inferior to Sokins', barely reaching level five. Perhaps it's because it's a "shrimp soldier," while Sokins is a "crab general"...

Moreover, judging from his appearance, this guy isn't very intelligent; he's not as sensible as Sokins.

Levi was not in a hurry. He directly suppressed it here, sat cross-legged, and stuck his long sword into the ground.

"I'll let you get up the moment you submit to me."

He said it calmly.

This lobster's stamina is far inferior to Levi's.

She soon gave up struggling and let Levi do as he pleased.

And so, after being suppressed by Levi for a month.

The lobster had no choice but to lower its proud head and submit to Levi.

"That's right. I'll take you to see your relatives in a while... As the Dragon King, how can I not have shrimp soldiers and crab generals under my command? With Lati added, we'll have the Turtle Prime Minister too."

Levi began to fantasize about using these extraordinary creatures to build a Dragon Palace. He imagined himself becoming powerful enough that the Dragon King would travel there, followed by shrimp soldiers and crab generals—wouldn't that be wonderful? After harvesting the Fluorescent Grass from the seabed and confirming there were no other treasures, Levi mounted the giant lobster and patted its rear end.

"From now on, I'll call you Pix... Pix, let's go!"

The lobster, crushed by reality, was forced to become Levi's mount.

For the next six months, Levi embarked on an exciting treasure hunt on the endless sea.

During this time, he encountered three resource points, each seemingly guarded by a level six sea beast king. If it were anyone else, rushing in headfirst would have meant certain death, but thankfully he had danger perception and was able to avoid them all.

With the increasing availability of herbs and ores, his biggest problem was no longer a lack of resources, but rather the absence of a portable living space. Otherwise, he could have taken some rare large plants and sea beasts with him and kept them in the Ancient Saint Plane.

The past six months.

By watching the projected playback, Levi also noticed a detail.

His battle with the giant lobster and other level-five creatures was not projected to the outside world.

However, when Sokins fought the Shadow Ring members, there was a projection.

"Although both are level five, Sokins on the Third Layer is considered a boss-level creature by the Ancient Tower. All Ancient Tower participants who fight Sokins can be projected. However, the level five lobster on the Fourth Layer is not considered a boss. In other words, as the floor increases, the strength requirement to become a boss also increases. On the Fourth Layer, it is estimated that you need to be at least a senior level Fifth Ring to be qualified to be a boss. The lobster is at most an elite monster."

Having figured this out, Levi felt even more at ease. He didn't want anyone to see him bullying these adorable supernatural creatures. Even if his true identity was revealed in the future, his image in the Giant Beast Paradise wouldn't collapse.

The Month of Flowing Fire.

Levi arrived at the last resource point, and saw islands rising on the sea ahead.

Each island emitted black smoke that soared into the sky, resembling a continuous trail of smoke signals from a distance.

"The Beacon Fire Islands are rich in fire element, so there might be fire-based herbs and resources here."

As usual, after using his danger perception to initially determine that there was no Level 6 presence, Levi entered the area to search carefully.

Sure enough, these islands are rich in resources.

Levi swiftly harvested resources, selecting the large and retaining the small, adhering to the principles of sustainable development, without disrupting the ecological balance within the Ancient Tower.

In addition to herbs, some precious Elemental Metal were also collected.

Eventually, he arrived near the largest volcanic island.

The intense heat here forced him to activate his Flame Dragon True Body.

The lava spewed out by the volcano was no longer crimson, but a more intense, scorching gold.

"Blazing Gold Fire... This flame can only appear in lands with earth fire of level five or higher. Its temperature is extremely high, and even Fifth Ring wizard cannot stay there for long. This place is absolutely perfect for forging my Nightmare Dragon Divine Weapon!"

Levi made his decision: Forging his Six Divine Weapons right here.

"But before that, we need to deal with that big guy inside the volcano."

His figure flashed, and he arrived high above the crater. Below him was a golden Magma Fire Sea, within which was a fiery red toad, exuding a powerful aura. The toad's body was gaseous, its eyes fixed on the sky, its body tense, croaking as if threatening the intruder.

"A level 5 Fire Elemental Spirit. Judging from its aura, it is even stronger than Phoenix before, but it's not a big problem. My fire elemental resistance is high enough."

Just as Levi was about to make his move, a fiery red figure, resembling an infant, suddenly appeared in the magma beneath the toad.

Its eyes were alert, its hair was sparse, its face was swollen and ugly, and mysterious runes flickered on its body.

"Hiss... It's actually [Fire Ghost's Kiss]! This is a Sky-level Truth Wonder, which is extremely rare on this Fourth Layer. I've really struck gold. It was worth grinding my Lovers Rune to Sixth Order."
