The Strongest Wyvern! A Body of Bronze! Gandalf, Savior of the People!
The Dark Ancient Tower.
The Ai Ou Continent, West Coast.
The Deep Blue Organization is holding its annual Deep Blue Conference.
The Snow Lotus Witch arrived early and sat upright.
Before long, everyone had arrived.
Opposite the Snow Lotus Witch was Gilga, the first genius of the Leitney Family and the Gold Light Wizard Jill Jia.
The Golden Light Wizard appeared normal on the surface, but his heart was filled with gloom.
Not long ago, the family's wizard Gabrio, the second strongest among the younger generation after him, had his Soul Tablet shattered. All the other wizards who accompanied him also died.
His investigation revealed that on the day Gabrio died, a Dragon Spawn appeared at the Thunder Punishment Tribunal, killed a level 5 archmage, and was recorded by the Supreme Eye.
Therefore, he initially determined that it was the Dragon Spawn who killed Gabrio.
According to his spies planted in the Thunder God Hall, he also learned that on that day, the Startling Thunder Wizard of the Thunder Saint Tower also perished, whose strength was comparable to that of Gabrio.
He guessed that the situation was probably like this: For some unknown reason, the Dragon Spawn raided the Thunder Punishment Tribunal, then, upon discovering the arrival of wizards, hid. After the Startling Thunder Wizard and Gabrio appeared, they clashed over the Thunder Element Spirit, resulting in heavy losses for both sides. Taking advantage of this weakened state, the despicable Dragon Spawn launched a sneak attack, cruelly slaughtering everyone!
This mission was a complete disaster for the Leitney Family; they not only failed to obtain the Thunder Element Spirit, but also lost a Fifth Ring genius.
After the meeting began, each party expressed their opinions on the organization's future plans.
When it was the turn of the Leitney Family, the Golden Light Wizard said, "Everyone, in order to maximize the interests of our Wizard Civilization, I propose that we cooperate with the Nine Cities Alliance and other wizarding organizations. We will first clear the alien races from the Fifth Layer, and then compete internally, each relying on their own methods."
Among the alien forces, the Amethyst Clan is currently overwhelmingly powerful and exceptionally united, making them difficult to confront head-on. Therefore, I suggest starting with the Dragon Spawn Dragon Spawn, uniting to search for and eliminate them all!
After the Golden Light Wizard finished speaking, the rest of the Leitney Family echoed his words.
"That makes sense. The Wizard Council made the same suggestion before the ancient Ancient Tower was opened."
"Indeed, most of the Dragon Spawn fight their own battles and are easy to deal with."
"That's right."
This proposal received support from the majority of people.
The Snow Lotus Witch said, "Purgeing the Dragon Spawn is no problem, but Ai Ou is so vast, how are we supposed to find it?"
The Golden Light Wizard said, "What the Dragon Spawn hate most are normal Dragonkind. Whenever they encounter them, they tear them apart and devour their flesh. We only need to find some hybrid Dragonkind, then use them as bait, set up magic arrays and traps, send powerful warriors to ambush them, and then spread the word throughout the Ai Ou Continent to lure the Dragon Spawn into the trap, and kill them one by one. Dragon Spawn are all monsters with strong limbs but no sense of reason. As long as we wizards get serious, eliminating Dragon Spawn is nothing."
Upon hearing this, the Snow Lotus Witch said, "It sounds feasible, but Dragon Spawn are generally very powerful. I'm afraid that doing this would be like playing with fire and getting burned."
The Golden Light Wizard sneered, "It's understandable that the House of Witches isn't good at fighting and fears the Dragon Spawn. Our Leitney Family isn't afraid at all. Under the dazzling Golden Lightning, any evil is nothing but a chicken or a dog!"
Upon hearing that her organization had been demoted, the Snow Lotus Witch frowned slightly and fell silent.
In a direct confrontation, she was indeed no match for the Golden Light Wizard. But this move made her feel uneasy.
After some discussion, the Deep Blue Organization decided to first try to persuade the Nine Cities Alliance.
Flame Dragon Slayer, the leader of the younger generation of the Nine Cities Alliance, hates anything related to "dragons".
They would surely be happy to kill the Dragon Spawn.
Nine Cities Alliance.
At the summit of Skyfire Fortress.
Simon sat there enjoying the breeze, his red ribbons fluttering and rustling in the wind.
He received a message from the Deep Blue Organization.
"Unite to annihilate the Dragon Spawn, is that it? Interesting, that's a good idea."
He leaped into the air and disappeared, reappearing in the underground prison of Skyfire Fortress.
As a war fortress.
The prison here is divided into six levels.
The first five levels suppress enemies of levels one to five.
The Sixth Layer contains potential level 6 enemies, but it is currently vacant.
In the prisons on both sides, various alien races could be seen from time to time. They had not been killed, but were bound by magic arrays and chains within the prisons. They had been enslaved, their power drained by the magic arrays to power the Skyfire Fortress.
In critical moments, they will also be released to serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield.
Some prisons house various extraordinary creatures, including some hybrid Dragonkind with strength ranging from level one to level four.
Simon arrived at the Fifth Layer, where there were significantly fewer prisoners.
With a somber expression, he entered a massive prison at the deepest part of the dungeon.
He sat cross-legged. In the cell before him stood a colossal beast, as majestic as a mountain.
The behemoth was covered in black scales and exuded a scorching sulfurous aura. It resembled a giant lizard, standing upright, and was thirty stories tall. Its thick tail supported it on the ground, while its forelimbs were relatively short.
It was riddled with wounds, its body riddled with holes, and tubes were inserted into its wounds, drawing out its extremely hot, black blood.
Its eyes were filled with anger, like a volcano about to erupt.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Simon asked with a mocking laugh.
"I have no grudge against you, why are you arresting me?" This mountain-sized Black Scale behemoth could actually speak directly with the wizard.
Generally speaking, this is something that only pure-blooded Dragonkind or Dragon Spawn that have advanced to level six can do.
Simon's eyes were cold as he said indifferently, "Because you are Dragonkind, and all Dragonkind are Simon enemies!"
"Then why don't you kill me?" the Black Scale behemoth said.
"You are a rare Black Lotus Beast, known as the strongest Dragon Spawn in the multiverse... It would be such a waste to kill you. In the Wizard World, countless wizards would want your Bloodline Essence," Simon said with a mocking laugh.
The Black Lotus Beast fell silent. It hated that it couldn't grow up quickly, and it hated these cunning wizards who had set up magic traps and ambushed it, yet dared not fight it fair and square! "If one day I regain my freedom, I will tear you to pieces with my own hands, and with my breath, I will turn you to Ashes!"
Ignoring the Black Lotus Beast's threat, Simon stood up and said calmly, "Have you ever heard of the Dragon Spawn?"
The Black Lotus Beast's eyes changed slightly; it had naturally heard of the Dragon Spawn.
Dragon Spawn are mindless, mutated monsters born from pure-blooded Dragonkind and powerful alien races, stronger than dragon descendants or hybrid Dragonkind. Like the humans before them, they despise all Dragonkind and take pleasure in torturing and Dragonkind.
"Next, you will have the opportunity to witness the most powerful and bloodthirsty Dragon Spawn on the Ai Ou Continent. But don't worry, I won't let you die, because you are my most important... bait, hahahaha!"
Simon laughed wildly as he left the prison, leaving the Black Lotus Beast standing in the shadows.
Even something as strong as it is cannot help but despair at this moment.
"Does the Black Lotus Clan truly have no future?"
The year 1198 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of the Furnace.
Dragon Palace Island.
The Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon Prison.
The extraordinary beings within were either cultivating or slumbering.
After further adjustments by Levi.
The Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon Prison has ushered in version 2.0.
The current formation can be activated at any time to defend against external enemies.
In normal times, the formation can also simulate the daily living environment for various extraordinary creatures, gathering the elemental power needed for their cultivation or growth.
It could be said that this place is Hell for the enemy and paradise for extraordinary creatures.
A level 4 peak Dragon Spawn like the Dragon Turtle Ladi might be able to break through to level 5 even faster in the Dead Sea Hell.
In this way, the research work on the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon Prison can be considered to have come to an end.
Levi did not delay and continued to study other subjects.
After being promoted to the Fifth Ring, Levi discovered that he had a lot to do.
In addition to normal Meditation Technique and Breathing Technique exercises.
There are also a lot of unresolved issues.
For example, the practice of body tempering techniques, the upgrading and repair of magical artifacts such as the Alice's Ring.
Fortunately, he has already Fifth Ring and is no longer in a hurry to make a new breakthrough.
Therefore, he plans to spend several years filling in the gaps and making improvements.
The path of spiritual practice should not be rushed.
Time flies, and another half a year has passed.
The year 1199 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.
Dark Ancient Tower Calendar 34.
After a long period of training, Levi's Gargoyle Body Refinement Method finally reached the perfect state of Fourth Ring Body Refinement Wizard.
Levi ——————
Gargoyle Body Refinement Method: Eighth Rank (Limit, Limit Can Be Broken), Special Effect: Stone Statue Body.
With a thought, countless gray body-refining runes flickered on Levi's body, and a strong earth elemental power surged into them.
The next moment, Levi's body began to petrify.
He stood there, motionless, looking like a sculpture.
His face resembled that of an ugly bat, and his demonic wings were folded behind him.
The Gargoyle Body Refinement Method is originally a body refining technique that imitates the demons of the Abyss.
One of the most notable characteristics of gargoyles is that, similar to the Amethyst Clan, they possess a spell immunity effect, albeit a lower-tier version.
Even so, because of this characteristic, gargoyles have been voted the "most disgusting Abyss demon" by wizards for many consecutive years! In gargoyle form, all elemental spells will deal significantly less damage to Levi.
However, it has no special immunity to physical attacks. On the contrary, it is relatively fragile and lacks resilience, which leads to a relative weakening of its physical defense.
Levi opened the Proficiency Panel.
His Deep Blue Body Refinement Method had already reached the Fourth Ring of perfection, but Levi did not break through immediately in order to wait for the gargoyle.
Now that both body-refining techniques have been perfected, it is time to merge them.
Several days later.
The gray runes of the Gargoyle Body Refinement Method were devoured by the blue runes of the Deep Blue Body Refinement Method, turning the blue runes cyan.
Cyan runes shimmered on Levi's body, making him appear as if he were cast in bronze, or a newly unearthed terracotta warrior. Behind him, a pair of shimmering, metallic cyan demon wings also appeared.
After the body-refining technique was fully integrated, Levi opened the Proficiency Panel.
Levi ——————
Bronze Statue Body Refining Method: Ninth Rank (1/150,000), Special Effect: Bronze Statue Body.
[Bronze Statue Body: Provides comprehensive enhancements to physical attributes such as strength, constitution, defense, and speed, possessing physical abilities even stronger than a gargoyle, as well as terrifying toxicity. It exhibits strong immunity to negative energies such as Thunder, Frost, and poison. The Bronze Statue Body has two special forms: "Rock Demon" and "Water Ghost." In Rock Demon form, strength, defense, and magic resistance are enhanced. In Water Ghost form, speed, constitution, resilience, and physical damage reduction are enhanced. The two forms can be switched freely.]
Within Levi's body, countless tiny Venomous Swarm emerged, perfectly merging with the body-refining runes.
The next moment, as Art Power surged into the body-refining runes, earth-yellow elemental power began to gather on the surface of the Venomous Swarm.
They piled up like cells, instantly forming a towering, dark Rock Demon giant.
The Rock Demon Giant has wings on its back and its body appears to be covered in scales.
Then, it flapped its wings, transformed into a stream of light, and flew to the outside of the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon Prison Formation.
"Gan Site".
Levi summoned him, wanting to test the power of the Fifth Ring Bronze Statue Body Refining Method.
Gan Site immediately understood and charged forward with a roar.
Levi did not use any Knight techniques to make the Rock Demon Giant and Gan Site collide.
Boom! The Rock Demon Giant clashed with the Dragon Spawn with its physical body.
The next moment, it and Gan Site were both sent flying backwards.
On Gan Site's body, many scales were broken off, and blood was flowing freely.
In contrast, the Rock Demon also suffered damage, but it was not significant.
"In terms of physical strength alone, it is slightly better than the Dragon Spawn. Not bad, not bad. In terms of defense, it is not inferior to my current Golden Snake Scales."
With a thought, he switched from Rock Demon form to Water Ghost form.
The giant's hard body surface, seemingly composed of fluid, transformed into a bronze-colored, gelatinous monster.
"You Three Brothers, come on over together."
He said it calmly.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Three Brothers rushed over.
In his Water Ghost form, Levi completely transforms into a lump of rubber, or perhaps a giant... slime.
He was shattered into pieces by the impact of the Three Brothers, who were so frightened that Three Brothers immediately stopped, afraid of killing their master.
These fragments trembled, and in an instant, they coalesced and reformed into a liquid body.
Not only that, the Water Ghost suddenly evaporated, transforming into a giant cloud of bluish-green mist that attacked the Three Brothers.
"Continue," Levi said.
The Three Brothers once again clashed with the mist giant.
As they unleashed their breath attacks and seismic waves, the fog began to thin visibly.
It's clear that the Water Ghost form isn't completely invincible, but it's obviously much more troublesome than the Rock Demon Water Ghost! The Mist Giant's attack was accompanied by intense poison; the Venomous Swarm eroded the scales on the Three Brothers ' bodies at a microscopic level, leaving rust marks. At the same time, the giant's right arm suddenly solidified, transforming into a giant bronze fist that smashed into the eroded scales. The next moment, each scale was easily shattered into fragments, revealing the bloody flesh beneath.
Levi stopped attacking, applied ointment to the Three Brothers, and rewarded them with a large amount of gold and silver jewelry as payment for their sparring.
The Three Brothers left, howling in pain, but looking quite pleased with themselves.
Actually, if the Three Brothers went all out, the Water Ghost alone still wouldn't be able to defeat them.
However, that would seem to lack workplace wisdom. After joining the Dragon Palace, the Three Brothers learned a lot about interpersonal skills from seasoned employees like Laja.
Levi looked at the Water Ghost in front of him and was in a great mood.
"The Rock Demon form inherits the Gargoyle's high magic resistance, making it suitable for hand-to-hand combat with spellcasters. The Water Ghost form, on the other hand, inherits the unpredictable nature of the Poison Mist, allowing it to deliver a devastating blow to enemies that primarily rely on physical attacks."
Then, Levi made this body-refining clone fly as far away as possible.
When it flew a thousand miles away, the body-refining clone suddenly shattered, scattering into countless Venomous Swarm that automatically returned to Levi's body.
"After the Fifth Ring, the body-refining clone can be farther away from my main body. Within a thousand miles, I can control the body-refining clone at will. This is much more convenient, and I can adapt to the situation and perform some fancy moves."
Based on his series of tests, it seems that...
The overall combat power of the Body Refinement Avatar is no less than that of the Holy Infant Avatar, and may even be slightly stronger.
"In this way, I can transform into three bodies: a body-refining clone, a magic clone, and the Knight's true form. If I continue to upgrade in the future, this body-refining clone may also become a tool that can cultivate body-refining techniques independently, just like the Holy Infant. In that case, the true form can have a much easier time."
Levi was simplifying things, gradually separating out some less important peripheral functions so that his true self could focus on Breathing Technique, Meditation Technique, and important knowledge research. After all, he had learned too much; it could be said that he hadn't had a moment to catch his breath in his life.
As long as the main body has absolute control, no matter how powerful the two clones are, they are just tools and will not overshadow the main body.
"Judging from the current situation, the Bronze Statue Body Refining Method should be considered a top-tier method among Origin Soul Body Refinement Methods. It's not impossible for the panel to break through the Legendary Realm shackles of the Bound Knight and the shackles of body refinement, and become Ninth Ring Body Refinement Wizard!"
After putting away his clone, Levi returned to his secluded cultivation place.
Leon was lying not far away, fast asleep.
Having consumed so many level-five souls within the Ancient Tower alongside Levi, Leon's strength continued to increase. After returning from the Thunder Accumulation Basin, it fell into a deep slumber.
Based on Levi's previous observations, this situation indicates that Leon is about to advance to the next level, which will be level five.
Today, Leon is no longer the so-called alien insect, but a mysterious existence that even Levi cannot fathom.
"I wonder what changes Leon will undergo after reaching level five?"
Levi was hopeful; he wasn't too worried about Leon losing control.
He had been using his dream-entry ability to subtly influence Leon's emotions, and with so much time spent together, their bond had grown stronger, and Leon had developed a fatherly dependence on him.
Even if things go wrong, he still has a vacant Scarlet Contract position, so if Leon really loses control, he can force a contract.
Just as he was about to continue his cultivation, a change occurred in Levi's mind.
Beside the seven-colored crystal, two magical artifacts were placed.
The first is the Ouroboros Ring, and the second is the Book of the Dead. These are both top-tier magical artifacts among the Fifth Ring, which is why they are qualified to enter Levi's mind.
At that moment, the Book of the Dead suddenly opened, automatically turning to the page about the Headless Swordsman. An image appeared in Levi's mind:
Hell, the Fifth Layer.
The sky was gloomy, the earth was desolate, and death hung in the air.
On the wilderness.
A handsome swordsman with short black hair is fighting a demon with a long, thin neck and a snake's head.
Upon seeing this, Levi's expression changed. "This is the Purgatory Serpent Demon... It seems the Headless Swordsman is in trouble."
That handsome black-haired swordsman was Headless Swordsman who had advanced to level five; for some reason, his head had grown back.
The Purgatory Serpent Demon is a powerful being among the demons of Hell, and the one before us should possess the strength of a duke.
The Headless Swordsman had just advanced to level five, Levi estimated that he was probably no match for this Serpent Demon Duke.
Now that the Headless Swordsman is in battle, Levi is unable to use the Book of the Dead to summon him back.
As the summoner, he is the beacon guiding the Headless Swordsman back from Hell.
If he were to travel to Hell using magic, he would lose his guiding light within this Ancient Tower.
The end result was that he and the Headless Swordsman were both left in Hell. Even if they escaped Hell, they would most likely return to other prime material planes, such as Nora. They might never be able to return to a special place like the Ancient Tower.
The only solution is to send the Holy Infant into Hell, where it will die, and then be resurrected from its original form within the Ancient Tower.
However, it would waste a year of the Holy Infant's life.
While Levi was still hesitating, a man with a bare upper body, holding a demonic sword, suddenly appeared in the scene.
After a stunning black sword light, the Serpent Demon Duke, who was suppressing the Headless Swordsman, was cut in half at the waist!
Despite the Serpent Demon Duke's powerful physique and his desire to recover, the man unleashed endless black flames, reducing him to Ashes.
He pulled the charred skull of the Serpent Demon Duke from the flames, blew off the Ashes, and wrapped it around his waist.
Around his waist were the heads of nine Devil Duke.
He took out a wine flask from his waist, gulped down the wine, and handed it to the black-haired swordsman who was standing there dumbfounded.
The black-haired swordsman shook his head. The next moment, a six-pointed star magic circle appeared beneath his feet.
Then, he transformed into light and vanished into Hell.
When he reappeared, he was already on page 100 of the Book of the Dead.
[Level 5 Necromancer - Headless Swordsman, Abilities: Ghost Wail Slash, Spirit Body]
"It already has a head, so calling it Headless Swordsman is inappropriate."
Levi summoned the black-haired swordsman.
At this moment, his spiritual body was much more solid than when he was at level four. His aura was definitely at the level five, but it was still not stable enough.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so utterly helpless against the Devil Duke.
"Master!" the black-haired swordsman suddenly spoke.
It seems he was originally capable of speaking, but he just couldn't speak before because he was inarticulate.
"What's your name?" Levi asked.
Generally speaking, those who can rise to the level of a fifth-level undead in Hell must have been powerful figures in their previous lives.
The souls of mortals either become food in Hell or return to the Underworld to be reborn.
"I...I can't remember," said the handsome black-haired swordsman.
"From now on, you'll be called Geli," Levi said calmly.
"Yes, it's all up to Master!" Geli said.
Levi asked, "Geli, did you figure out your swordsmanship on your own, or was it taught to you by someone else?"
Geli said, "For me, wielding swordsmanship is instinct. In the past six months, I have been constantly hunting undead creatures, and my Undying Blade Undead Slash some breakthroughs! If I have more time to hone my skills, I will definitely be able to kill that Serpent Demon Duke!"
"By the way, do you know that person from earlier?" Levi asked.
Geli shook his head. "I don't know him. He said his name is Magic Sword Dragon Wizard Sode Ross, the number one swordsman in the Wizard World. He invited me to duel with him, but before I could respond, you summoned me back, Master."
"Alright, you lead the other undead to guard the Shadow Hell within the magic circle," Levi said.
"OK."
Levi retrieved the Book of the Dead. Judging from his observation, the swordsman from earlier was definitely a dragonborn.
To be able to kill so many Devil Duke, one's strength must be at least at the senior level of the Fifth Ring ring; otherwise, one wouldn't dare to act so recklessly in the fifth level of Hell.
Judging from the magic sword in his hand, it bears traces of magical runes, indicating that he is indeed a wizard.
However, Levi had never heard of any "world's greatest swordsman" in the Wizard World.
"The body-refining Dragonkin Wizard has even created his own powerful sword techniques. The Wizard World is full of hidden talents."
Levi couldn't help but sigh.
He had a gut feeling that even if he used the Six Paths Heavenly God, he might not be able to win against his opponent.
This is a true top-tier genius, far surpassing the likes of Gabrio.
Unbeknownst to Levi, it was he who had impersonated the swordsman in the Dragonfly Wizard's eyes.
The fifth level of Hell.
On the wilderness.
The Magic Sword Dragon Wizard stared blankly at the sky.
"I finally met a swordsman of the same level, but he's just a summoned creature of a sorcerer from the Death School... Damn it, why couldn't I let him stay a little longer and spar with him before he left!"
He felt a pang of regret. He was obsessed with swords, and although he was a wizard, he had always devoted himself to the study of swordsmanship.
Relying on his "Purgatory Demon Sword Path," he has slain many demons since entering Hell, including nine dukes.
His expression changed, and he looked into the distance.
In the sky, a bloated Devil Duke, resembling a fat pig, led a group of devil counts and an army of undead to attack.
"You swordsman over there, surrender now! How dare you cause trouble in Hell! Today, I, the Duke, in the name of the Grand Duke, will capture you and take you back to suffer the torments of Purgatory!"
The Magic Sword Dragon Wizard looked disdainful, but he smiled and placed his hand on his longsword.
"A level-five peak duke? Perfect, I'll use you to test my newly created sword technique!"
The immense power to move mountains and overturn seas, along with the surging magical Art Power, all poured into the black flame greatsword in his hand.
These two forces are cleverly combined.
This is his unique Purgatory Demon Sword Path!
"Purgatory Demonic Path: Black King Nine Slashes!"
The moment he drew his sword, he unleashed a total of nine strikes!
Nine giant dragon sword energies burning with black flames spun and spread out like windmills, tearing the heavens and earth apart!
Boom! After one sword strike.
The army behind the Duke retreated several miles, but the Duke remained unmoved, using his physical body to withstand the sword energy.
The Duke's seemingly Vajra body was now marred by nine gruesome wounds, oozing fat and burning with black flames, causing him excruciating pain!
"Ouch... You actually managed to hurt this duke? Are you prepared to die?"
With a sinister grin, he stretched out his giant hand and slapped it towards the Demon Dragon Sword Wizard!
Before the giant hand even landed, the earth had already begun to crack.
The Demon Dragon Sword Wizard unleashed another devastating strike.
Purgatory Demonic Path: God Fearing Mad Dragon!
He seemed like a madman, actually confronting someone with the strength of Fifth Ring perfection.
The earth cracked, and a wild and arrogant black dragon burst forth from the ground, colliding with the giant hand!
A shockwave swept through! The Demon Dragon Sword Wizard watched as the giant dragon shattered, and its mangled giant hand pressed down.
He couldn't help but sigh, "It's still not enough. This fat pig should be among the strongest dukes below the Grand Duke, even stronger than the Fifth Ring perfect wizards I've ever seen."
Under terrifying pressure, he transformed into flames, merging into the black flame longsword in his hand.
"Sorry, I'm not prepared to die yet, I'm leaving now!"
The longsword Shattering the Void, entered it, and disappeared.
The fat pig duke roared in fury in the fifth level of Hell, a place teeming with powerful figures. He was a prominent figure, and now he had been tricked by a junior, Unstoppable Wrath.
"Report to the Duke immediately! This intruder possesses a treasure that allows him to escape through space. Only a level six expert can capture him!"
The Dark Ancient Tower.
West Sea, Dragon Palace Island.
After Swordsman Geli advanced to the Fifth Ring, Levi would occasionally spar with him to hone their sword skills.
As the saying goes, "Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me."
He decided to continue exploiting Geli's skills, mastering his Ghost Wail Slash, and integrating it into his own creation of the second form of the Sky Dragon Sword Canon! It wasn't that Levi lacked aptitude for swordsmanship; he was simply too busy, so he didn't dedicate enough time to studying swordsmanship.
Sword practice, meditation, body tempering techniques, Breathing Technique, Rune Words —these were Levi's main studies. Then came the study of the Alchemy blueprints for the [Kulkan Feathered Serpent].
The Holy Infant continues to hone his talisman -Talisman Making, and is now not far from reaching the Fourth Order Talisman Making.
Once the Holy Infant reaches the Fourth Order of Talisman Making, it can travel to Ai Ou.
Time flies when you're on a spiritual journey; before you know it, another year has passed.
The year 1200 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Origin.
Dark Ancient Tower Calendar 35.
That year, Levi was 210 years old.
The 99th Round Table Conference of the Twilight Knight Order was held.
While studying the Kulkan Feathered Serpent, Levi went online to join the meeting and waited for the group members to arrive.
The first one to appear was surprisingly the Hundred Flower Knight.
"You've reached level three?" Levi asked.
Hundred Flowers smiled and said, "I just broke through not long ago and am currently consolidating my realm. I have some questions about Knight cultivation that I would like to ask you after the meeting."
Levi's face lit up with joy. "Congratulations!"
Before long, the other Knight arrived and reported to Levi on the development of the Ancient Saint Plane and the current situation in the Mortal World.
The meeting has ended.
The Hundred Flower Knight consulted Levi for a long time about his confusion regarding cultivation.
Levi answered all his questions without reservation, and also asked him some questions about the practice of wizards.
The two got so engrossed in their conversation that they talked until the next day, still not quite done.
"It's obvious, Hundred Flowers, that you haven't been very busy lately," Levi said with a smile.
"With my strength, I can't even get into the Eighth Layer, so I might as well just stroll around the Seventh Layer at my own pace. I'm a pretty easygoing person," said the Hundred Flower Knight.
"That's true," Levi said.
"I met Solett a few days ago. His strength has improved again. With his talent, his Origin Soul might not be perfect, but reaching the Fifth Ring should be no problem," Hundred Flowers said.
Levi thought to himself, if Solett could achieve the Fifth Ring ring in the future, he would have another capable general under his command.
After bidding farewell to the Hundred Flowers, Levi returned to the weapon-refining room.
Phoenix is tending the fire, while the Holy Infant is in charge of infusing Alchemy runes and creating Alchemy components.
Levi arrived at this place and took over the work of the Holy Infant, continuing to refine the Kankuer Feathered Serpent.
The crafting of this Feathered Serpent consumed over a hundred catties of Levi Mist Sand, along with other precious materials, demonstrating a significant investment! Now, the rudimentary form of a large serpent about ten meters long can be seen.
The giant serpent has wings on its back, which gleam with a metallic sheen.
This Alchemy creature is far more valuable than those Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact.
It took Levi a lot of effort and energy.
Three months later.
As various Alchemy components were assembled, a giant blue serpent appeared before Levi.
The giant serpent was coiled up, its wings folded, and its eyes lifeless.
Levi exhaled a breath of stale air and murmured, "After nearly two years, it's finally finished. It's much more difficult than the Tyrant series."
There are several levels of Alchemy Formula and miniature magic arrays solidified on this giant serpent alone, not to mention the level four ones.
The Feathered Serpent contained a modified air cannon launcher by Levi. This launcher was worth the equivalent of a common Fifth Ring magical artifact.
This is also the Feathered Serpent's main attack method.
The Feathered Serpent's regular energy source still relies on the automatic charging of Mist Sand, a level 5 wind-type metal, which is sufficient for short-term combat and daily operations.
The backup energy source is the Great Stone fuel tank, used for protracted warfare and explosive power generation.
In addition, Thunder Roc can also act as a pilot for the Feathered Serpent, but the effect is not as good as that of the wind elemental spirit.
Levi currently has a full 18 million Great Stone on him, and given his frequency of battles, the Feathered Serpent won't be able to deplete much of it.
Levi chanted an incantation, Feathered Serpent's eyes lit up with a ghostly light. It began to coil and fly into the air.
He appeared high in the sky, accompanied by Feathered Serpent.
At the same time, he released the Huster Giant Eagle, which was piloted by Phoenix.
The two steel structures collided, unleashing a terrifying shockwave.
The sound of metal clashing was incessant.
The giant eagle flapped its wings, unleashing thousands of wind blades and fire blades.
As the Feathered Serpent spread its wings, a vortex of airflow covering an area of about one mile in radius was formed.
Once those attacks entered the vortex, the rhythm was completely disrupted.
The Feathered Serpent unleashed an air cannon! Boom! The power of this cannon, which consumed nearly ten thousand taels of Great Stone, was something that even an ordinary Fifth Ring wizard would not dare to withstand head-on.
The giant eagle tried to block with its wings, but was blasted away, losing many of its feathers.
Levi immediately stopped the Feathered Serpent's attack.
"The quality of this giant eagle isn't quite right; the materials aren't good enough. I'll have to refine it again myself. The Feathered Serpent and the giant eagle together are enough to defeat most Fifth Ring wizards. Once the Meixius Pterosaur is finished and the Three Wind Gods are combined, even a senior Fifth Ring- ring wizard can be defeated!"
Levi was in a great mood.
He brought the damaged giant eagle to the weapon-refining room and put the Holy Infant in charge of repairing and modifying it.
He himself continued to focus on his spiritual practice.
The Ai Ou Continent.
North of the Holy Fire Plateau, bordering the East Sea Land, lies a giant inland lake spanning tens of thousands of square kilometers, known to the locals as the "Sea of Stars."
On the vast expanse of the lake, clouds and mist swirl, and scattered islands, like stars, dot the surface.
The Sea of Stars is the only large Confluence Land that has not yet been occupied by a top-tier wizarding organization.
Several years ago.
Small Wizard School, Fifth Ring wizards from wizarding organizations, and some independent Fifth Ring wizards all joined forces.
A large wizarding alliance was formed, called the "White-Robed Wizard Society".
The White-Robed Wizard Society was founded by many people, many of whom were quite well-known on the Ai Ou Continent.
For example, the "Blue Dragon Lady" and "Red Dragon Queen" from the Dragonkin Hermit Order, and the "Wild Bone Wizard" from the Death School...
Currently, the White-Robed Wizard Society has more than thirty Fifth Ring wizards.
There are five wizards at the Fifth Ring perfection level alone.
They are respectively representatives of rogue cultivators and Red Bone Wizard.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Fire Bull Family, the wizard Farrar, the Alliance Master of the Alchemy Alliance, "Sam Silverbeard", the president of the Spiritism Society, "Miraculous Madam", and a Dragonkin Wizard is said to have lived for over a thousand years, "Rust Dragon Wizard".
These five individuals are collectively known as the "White-Robed Five Elders" in the Sea of Stars.
It was only through the intimidating presence of the White-Robed Five Elders that the Sea of Stars became a sacred place for the disadvantaged in the Wizard World.
In just a few years, they have gathered a force that cannot be ignored on the Ai Ou Continent.
This day.
In the Sea of Stars.
A Fifth Ring wizard arrived at this place, panting heavily.
He was dressed in a white robe and had white hair; he was Extreme Ice Wizard.
The guardians of the Sea of Stars are two Rogue Wizard have reached the Fourth Ring of mastery.
Sensing the immense spiritual power of the Extreme Ice Wizard, they quickly asked, "May I ask your esteemed name, senior? Would you like to join the White-Robed Wizard Society?"
The Extreme Ice Wizard gave a wry smile and sighed, "Yes."
His Falling Star Wizard Market had recently been taken over by the Nine Cities Alliance. He didn't want to join them and work for them, so he had no choice but to flee in panic. Eventually, he learned about this place by asking around.
"Alright, I will take you to see the Five Elders. You will need the consent of three of them to join our White-Robed Wizard Society," the guard said.
"Okay, just follow the organization's rules."
Before long, the Extreme Ice Wizard met three of the Five Elders.
They are Silver Beard Wizard, Farrar Wizard, and Rust Dragon Wizard.
Sensing the streams of spiritual energy at the peak of the Fifth Ring, he was involuntarily jolted. He had been cultivating for eight hundred years, and not long ago, he had just mastered his second Fifth Ring talent, barely stepping into the advanced Fifth Ring realm. However, achieving the peak of the Fifth Ring seemed a distant dream.
After some communication, the Extreme Ice Wizard successfully passed the interview and joined the team.
The newly established White-Robed Wizard Society also needs a Extreme Ice Wizard of the Fifth Ring to oversee it.
After finding his organization, the Extreme Ice Wizard wandered around the base.
As he walked, he came to the middle of the lake, where there was a small island called "Gandalf Island," the place where the five elders held their meetings.
The guard explained that the White-Robed Wizard was established in memory of Gandalf the White, who saved the lives of dozens of rogues, and the name of the White-Robed Wizard Society comes from him.
After some inquiry, the Extreme Ice Wizard learned that Gandalf himself had not joined the Wizarding Order.
However, the wizarding community needs a key figure as a symbol.
After a selection process, Gandalf, who was once famous in the Kane Empire and known as the "Light of the Rogue Cultivators," was chosen.
On the island.
A tall, imposing statue of Gandalf with flowing white hair stands here.
He had white hair, deep and wise eyes, a kind face, and a friendly smile.
The base of the statue is also inscribed with the words: "Saving people from suffering and distress, with the heart of a chivalrous knight; fearless of power, the light of the rogue cultivator!"
