) The Month of Harvest the year 1200 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

The sea surrounding Dragon Palace Island.

The two swordsmen moved through the air like peregrine falcons, light, agile, and incredibly swift.

The swords clashed, producing a series of loud cracking sounds.

Compared to the wizards' dazzling spells, their attacks appeared simple and unadorned, merely ordinary flashes of swords and spears.

But occasionally, a sword light would fall on the sea or in the clouds.

It is enough to stir up huge waves and shatter the clouds, enough to show its terrifying power!

These two men were none other than Geli and Levi.

Geli's Ghost Wail Slash is known for its speed, swift as the wind, fast as a phantom, decisive and clean, like a ghost! Levi's Red Dragon Ascends the Sky is expansive and powerful, splitting Mount Hua in two, dazzling and unbearable to look at!

As the two clashed, an invisible shockwave swept through their path!

After fighting for an unknown amount of time, Geli stopped, panting heavily, and said, "Master, I can't fight anymore."

Levi sheathed the Red Dragon Ironcleaver and said, "Let's go back."

Since Geli reached level five, Levi had been sparring with him on swordsmanship from time to time.

He only uses his most basic physical abilities and swordsmanship, without using any special abilities or magical forms.

In this way, relying on his superior swordsmanship, Geli could even fight Levi to a draw.

Watching Geli's departing figure, Levi murmured to himself:

"Geli must have been a kendo genius during his lifetime."

Levi could sense Geli's boundless potential.

He focused on the sword and devoted himself to it.

Levi once shared some of the sword skills he had acquired with Geli.

At his most extreme, Geli could almost learn something in a single glance.

Levi had to admit that, setting aside his stats, his swordsmanship talent was inferior to Geli's.

"Sigh, without a performance panel, I'm just an ordinary person with good luck, decent talent, and a bit of a fear of death... So I need to be more cautious and steady!"

Seeing Geli reminded Levi of Owens he hadn't contacted in a long time.

He held out his palm, revealing a handful of gleaming Gold Coins engraved with the image of the Death Ember Dragon.

In the center of this pile of Gold Coins, there are also several purple coins, which are magnificent and imposing.

These purple coins were contributed by the level-five beings who were killed by Levi.

Levi flicked his finger, and a Gold Coins flew into the sky.

"Unbowed Silver Seat Owens!"

Boom! A golden light exploded.

A figure suddenly appeared.

"Who am I going to fight this time? In the years you've forgotten me, I've mastered 124 new sword techniques, with thousands of variations!"

As soon as Owens appeared, he drew his silver sword, looked around, and saw no enemy in sight.

"I'm not going to hit anyone, I'm just checking if you're still alive?" Levi laughed.

Owens sensed Levi's presence and his expression changed.

"How did you get stronger again?"

Levi smiled slightly and teased, "How are you? Still a fourth-dan Ash Swordsman? Are you any good, the Windmill Village First Swordsman?"

Upon hearing this, Owens was disheartened and sighed, "A fifth-level Ash Swordsman? That's difficult. In the history of our Windmill Village, there has never been a fifth-level expert."

"Take these Gold Coins and use them for cultivation. I wish you a speedy breakthrough to the fifth stage and to become the number one person in the history of Windmill Village!" Levi said.

Owens scratched the back of his head, holding a pile of Gold Coins in his hands, grinning from ear to ear, and then said with a simple smile, "It's not right to accept something for nothing."

"Take it. I might need your help when you advance to the fifth rank," Levi said.

"Thanks, buddy. Once I reach the fifth dan, you must summon me to fight more often... Only by approaching death can one comprehend the true essence of swordsmanship!" Owens said in a profound tone, preparing to commit suicide and return.

"There's one more thing," Levi called out to him.

"What's up?"

"Besides you, are there any other normal natives in the Ash World? Humans or supernatural beings?" Levi asked.

Owens shook his head. "I don't know. I haven't left Windmill Village in a long time. The outside world is full of powerful Death Fallen. I'm afraid of dying."

Levi said, "After you advance to the fifth stage, if possible, go out and see the world. I need you to help me find a descendant of a king. This king's true form should be a giant fire dragon composed entirely of Ashes. In our world, it is called the ' Ash Dragon,' and perhaps it has other names where you are."

Owens looked at the Gold Coins: "Is it similar to this?"

"Yes, but there are some differences. It probably doesn't have feathers, its head is more like a traditional dragon, and its whole body is covered in scales," Levi said.

"Leave it to me. Once I advance to the fifth rank, I'll leave Windmill Village!" Owens said.

After catching up with Owens, Owens stabbed himself in the heart with a sword.

"Goodbye, don't forget me, my friend," Owens said, his eyes filled with expectation, before committing suicide and returning to the city.

"Don't worry, I won't forget." Levi waved and watched Owens leave.

He muttered to himself, "Sure enough, Owens can project himself from the Ash World to this side."

Apart from Owens, Levi encountered no other living beings in the Ash World; they were all Death Fallen.

According to his speculation, the Ash World is a world that has been invaded by the Nightmare World.

The Ash Dragon was once one of the kings of the Ash World.

Logically speaking, given the nature of Dragonkind, the Ash Dragon might have bloodlines remaining in the Ash World.

The most important Secret Medicine in the Death Ember Dragon Breathing Technique he practiced was the Phoenix Secret Medicine, the cornerstone of Levi's powerful immortality. Of all things in this world, perhaps none understood the meaning of "immortality" better than the Phoenix! The secondary Secret Medicine was the Ash Dragon, usually replaced by a fire-type Dragonkind.

Like Hogg Knight, who practiced the Ash Breathing Technique using the Flame Blood Wild Hunt Dragon that Levi left in the Ancient Saint Plane.

Levi thought that if he could find the true bloodline of the Ash Dragon, it might speed up the cultivation of the Death Ember Dragon.

Whether or not it can be found, it's always good to give it a try. Owens is just sitting around anyway, so he might as well make use of it.

Levi had too many things to do and didn't have time to personally go to the Ash World to search.

After practicing swordsmanship, they returned to the island.

Inside the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon Prison, Lati, like a sloth, slowly cultivated by breathing in and out elemental power.

"When will it reach level five, Lati?" Levi asked.

Lati quickly said, "Master, it may take another sixty years."

Levi nodded, without urging it.

Lati has already tried her best; she's not some Fish Dragon.

"Overall, the growth rate of extraordinary creatures within these Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon Prison has indeed increased."

The weapon-refining room.

While honing his Talisman Making skills, the Holy Infant also oversaw Phoenix.

Phoenix's current task is to extract all the various ores that Levi has obtained since entering the Ancient Tower... This is a huge project that will require many years of continuous work, working overtime to complete.

To prevent Phoenix from taking its own life, Levi sets aside some "rest days" for it each year.

During their rest days, Phoenix can go to Thunder Hell and "date" the Thunder Roc, and it can also borrow vacation time for future years in advance.

Of course, Levi wasn't asking him to work for nothing. He promised that once he became stronger, he would help Phoenix become stronger as well. If they encountered a level six Fire Elemental Spirit in the future, he would let Phoenix devour it.

Once the refining process is complete, Levi will categorize and begin refining Alchemy creatures and Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact.

The Alchemy creatures, needless to say, are part of the Nicholas God Model Project.

He crafted the Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact not primarily for his own use.

Given the extent of his abilities, most magical artifacts are of little use to him.

He crafted it for the Holy Infant's avatar.

The Holy Infant's Talisman Making skill will soon reach Fourth Order.

At that time, Levi will send the Holy Infant out to travel to Ai Ou, inquire about clues about the Ageless Holy Grail, and seek resources and opportunities.

However, the Holy Infant's methods are no match for Levi's.

Especially in terms of survival ability, relying solely on the Protective Force Field and the spells inherent in the Secret Fire Ball is far inferior to that of the original body.

Levi wanted to fully arm the Holy Infant before his departure.

Of course, whether it's the Holy Infant or a witchcraft artifact, Levi will use his knowledge to leave a mark for tracking.

If the Holy Infant were to encounter a powerful enemy and die, his entire set of equipment cannot be allowed to fall into the wrong hands.

When the time comes, the real person will have to step in and retrieve the equipment.

If the enemy has counter-tracking and counter-reconnaissance capabilities similar to Leon's, then Levi can only consider himself unlucky.

In short, it's better to lose the magical artifact than to lose your life.

Inside the weapon-refining room.

A large pile of books on weapon crafting was placed in front of Levi.

The Book of Noen, The Augustine's Hammer...

He calmed down and began to read books.

In the Book of Noen, besides the [Secret Fire Ball], the other two magical artifacts, the [Secret Fire Sword] and the [Secret Fire Armor], are also standard magical artifacts.

Levi was not very satisfied with the power of the standard witchcraft artifacts.

The magical artifacts made from these materials are all of ordinary quality.

Since he intends to forge it himself, he must create a high-quality magical artifact. If it could be of the highest quality, that would be even better.

However, top-quality items are rare and hard to come by. They require high levels of materials, knowledge, skill level, and luck. Given his current level of just entering the Fifth Ring, it's unwise to have too high expectations.

He then opened "The Augustine's Hammer".

The document contains blueprints for four types of Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact.

They are [Lightning Light Wheel], [Thunderstorm Divine Spear], [Thunder Extinguishing Ancient Umbrella], and [Thunder Pheasant Cloak].

"Although these aren't standard magical artifacts, they're all from the Thunder Faction..."

Levi read through all the other books on the Artifact Forging.

Finally, he frowned, realizing that there were no drawings that met his expectations.

"Forget it, I'll just take the initiative and design my own original blueprints based on the existing ones. That way, I can make full use of the materials I have. I can also take this opportunity to hone my weapon-refining skills. It'll just take a little more time, but I'm only two hundred years old, no rush."

Levi already had a preliminary plan in mind.

He wanted to design a magical artifact for the Holy Infant that could attack, defend, control, and escape.

The Holy Infant is most skilled in the Combustion Faction; using other factions' magical artifacts would be significantly less effective. Therefore, all of these magical artifacts must be of the Combustion Faction.

Next.

Aside from the necessary Breathing Technique and Meditation Technique practices, Levi spent the rest of his time in the weapon-refining room.

Designing a Level 5 blueprint yourself is very difficult and thankless; many Fifth Ring Artifact Forging wouldn't even attempt it.

However, these difficulties are still far less than those of studying magic arrays.

Levi can create top-tier magic arrays like the "Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon Prison." Creating blueprints for his own magical artifacts is only a matter of time.

On Dragon Palace Island, life is peaceful and serene.

On the Ai Ou Continent, however, undercurrents were surging.

Kane Empire.

Chaos City.

The imperial capital, also known as the "Supreme God Capital".

This is the cultural, economic, and political center of the Ai Ou race.

As a highly centralized theocratic state.

The entire appearance of Chaos City exudes an aura of divine authority.

The nearly one hundred Chaos Churches standing in the city, as well as the numerous statues of the Law God, are examples of this.

In the center of Chaos City stands a tall tower called the "Law God Tower".

The towering pagoda stands thousands of meters tall, reaching straight into the clouds, majestic and magnificent.

At the top of the divine tower, there is a triangular white jade carving representing mystery.

Within it, there was a majestic, sacred eye that constantly turned, scanning everything in Chaos City.

The Supreme Law God possesses numerous world-destroying and unpredictable "divine artifacts."

The Supreme Eye is one of them.

Under its 24/7 surveillance, no evil can hide within Chaos City.

Those who commit evil deeds in other parts of the Ai Ou Continent will have their physical characteristics recorded by the Supreme Eye, and then the Chaos Church will issue bounties and issue nationwide arrest warrants.

Unfortunately, with the arrival of that group of despicable outsiders, the Supreme Eye was clearly overwhelmed... Every few days, outsiders were wanted, resulting in the number of wanted individuals exceeding that of bounty hunters. They couldn't catch them all, they simply couldn't catch them all! A few years ago, the Thunder Punishment Tribunal managed to catch a group of them with great difficulty.

Then, Gandalf, who appeared out of nowhere, interfered, causing the criminals to escape from prison and go unpunished.

After that incident, the Supreme Law God ordered the removal of torture-type punishments such as "Thunder Punishment," and that all evil sorcerers encountered be killed on the spot! Beneath the Law God Tower.

On the bounty list, the name "Gandalf the Evil Sorcerer" was prominently listed among the top twenty, alongside those powerful demons and barbarians who had long wreaked havoc in Ai Ou.

In addition, names such as "Fire Child Mage" and "Undying Dragon Demon" are also among the top names.

In the top ten, you can also see the talents of other top organizations.

For wizards, the Ai Ou Continent is a hunting ground and a resource-rich area; they don't care about the native life on it.

To the natives, these outsiders were like locusts.

The highest level of the Law God Tower.

The Supreme God Temple.

White clouds drifted by leisurely.

The twelve Dharma Kings, powerful figures, sat at the Round Table.

On one side wall of the temple, there are four giant dragon patterns of different shapes, coiled in the center. In the center of these dragons is a tall human figure with four eyes. Through these eyes, one can almost see the earth cracking, volcanic eruptions, storms sweeping, and seawater overflowing.

"Lord Law God!"

The four-eyed human carved on the wall was none other than the Supreme Law God! The Supreme Law God said, "According to my calculations, in the major Confluence Land of Ai Ou and the Four Seas Land, the black beasts that we previously drove away have multiplied to their peak, and a large wave of Black Beast Tide will soon arrive."

The Thunderbolt King's expression changed, and he said, "Is the Black Beast Tide coming again?"

The Supreme Law God said, "That's right. Next, we should abandon what we should abandon and concentrate our forces to defend the major cities. Once the Black Beast Tide has passed, most of the outsiders who have occupied the Confluence Land will be killed or wounded without us even having to lift a finger. At that time, we can send out a large army to annihilate the remaining outsiders."

"Understood. In this way, we can reap the benefits without paying any price."

The Supreme Law God, "After the slaughter, bring all the evil magic knowledge of the outsiders to me. I will distribute it according to your spoils and your labor, and bestow upon you true knowledge without any side effects."

"Thank you, Law God!"

All the Dharma Kings withdrew.

The Supreme Law God was left hanging on the wall, muttering to himself, "Sauron, one day, I will lead the Chaos Legion to break free from this prison of heaven and earth. Mages will replace wizards and become the true kings of spellcasters... And I will storm into the Astral Realm, devour the Lord of Chaos, and become the strongest Chaos Law God in this multiverse!"

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the Month of the Freezing Winter of 1200.

also.

The Death Ember Dragon Breathing Technique also caught up with the main group's progress some time ago, reaching the sixteenth level, the Blood Source Fourth Transformation.

Currently, apart from the Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique, all other Breathing Technique have reached the sixteenth level. The next step is the Blood Source Five Transformations Realm, which is comparable to the Fifth Ring Wizard.

Inside the research room.

Levi continuously used his mental power to outline the three-dimensional Spell Node, conducting repeated simulation tests.

Before him were three Crystal Ball, each containing blueprints for three different magical artifacts.

The first one is called the [Extreme Fire Light Wheel], designed with reference to the Lightning Light Wheel. It is mainly used for flying escape and is extremely fast. Its main materials are level 5 materials Mist Sand and Molten Flow Ore. The Molten Flow Ore is obtained from Gabrio and is not very large, making it perfect for crafting a relatively small magical artifact like the Light Wheel.

The second type is called the "Red Dragon Ring," which is designed with reference to the Ouroboros Ring and the Secret Fire Ring, and its purpose is control.

The last type is called the "Sky Burning Ancient Umbrella," which is designed based on the Thunder Extinguishing Ancient Umbrella and is both offensive and defensive.

Extreme Fire Light Wheel, Red Dragon Ring, Sky Burning Ancient Umbrella.

These three magical artifacts combined offer a complete range of functions, including offense, defense, control, and escape.

If successfully refined, it will greatly enhance the strength of the Holy Infant Avatar, making it easy to deal with Fifth Ring wizard, and even against Fifth Ring perfect wizard, it can retreat with ease.

In this way, without provoking Level 6 beings, the Holy Infant can roam freely across the Ai Ou Continent, without needing his true self to frequently intervene! Of course, he is currently lacking some materials for refining these magical artifacts.

Especially the Sky Burning Ancient Umbrella.

This magical artifact requires the tail feathers and bones of a level 5 fire-attribute bird, along with level 5 Elemental Metal, to craft the umbrella ribs. It also requires the hide of Mixed-blooded Dragon to create the umbrella canopy.

He doesn't have these things right now, and they can't be replaced.

However, the fifth floor is a vast and resource-rich area, so finding it is only a matter of time.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

The year 1201 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowing Fire.

Holy Fire Plateau.

Skyfire Fortress.

The wizards stood in the fortress, gazing into the distance, ready for battle.

Simon hovered above the city wall, his ribbons dancing in the wind.

According to intelligence, a few days ago, some small Confluence Land were attacked by black beasts, and some markets for Rogue Wizard were wiped out.

This immediately put the Nine Cities Alliance on high alert.

The Commander-in-Chief, seated high above, calmly announced, "The Black Beast Tide has arrived. Everyone, prepare yourselves and protect Skyfire Fortress at all costs! If a Level 6 Dark Beast Lord is discovered, the entire army must retreat immediately and report to Lord Luo Man. The Primal Soul Wizard will then take action!"

The Holy Fire Plateau is vast and boundless. What the Nine Cities Alliance has occupied is only the tip of the iceberg. Countless black beasts roam the wilderness.

Because black beasts are untamable, have chaotic minds, and possess a strong corrosive nature, wizards who encounter them, even if they can defeat them, will stay far away to avoid wasting their energy.

This has resulted in the number of black beasts never decreasing.

In addition, the Kane Empire concentrated and drove all the black beasts from various places to the Confluence Land, and the black beasts continued to multiply, eventually triggering this beast tide.

Now, without any warning, these black beasts have begun to launch a frenzied attack on the headquarters of various organizations.

The sky, the earth, birds and beasts—all swept in.

Among the Black Beast army, there are many Level 5 beings.

"Activate the grand formation!"

"That's what the Commander-in-Chief said."

The next moment, flames erupted from the high walls surrounding Skyfire Fortress.

These flames formed a massive barrier, protecting the entire city within.

"Everyone, hold the fortress and attack the black beasts! Simon, if a level 5 black beast attacks the formation, you are responsible for killing it to prevent the formation from consuming too much energy," the Commander-in-Chief said.

Simon nodded; he was ready.

In an instant, the black beast's Spell-like Abilities abilities and the wizard's spells collided on the wilderness, blooming like a dazzling fireworks display!

Some powerful black beasts even broke through the wizards' magical blockade and pounced on the great formation, charging wildly. Then they were quickly killed by the wizards' focused fire.

On the city wall, the Blood Demon Tower Master's eyes flickered as he attacked the black beast while his mind raced.

"I never expected that the opening of the Ancient Tower would coincide with the Black Beast Tide of the Ai Ou Continent. It's truly a stroke of luck. Judging from the scale of this Black Beast Tide, it will probably last for a while. During this time, the city will be in chaos, and the defenses of the Dead Soul Jujube Tree will be weakened. With my strength as Fifth Ring veteran, I will seize it and leave immediately, fleeing to Overseas Land to find a volcanic island for arduous cultivation."

During his time at Skyfire Fortress, the Blood Demon Tower Master discovered that the place was not as good as he had imagined.

Here, Simon was bossing him around. Simon was just a junior, and Simon didn't respect him just because he was appreciated by the Primal Soul Wizard. This made Simon very unhappy.

I am a wicked Black Wizard, how could I possibly endure this injustice?

Even without taking the Dead Soul Jujube Tree, the Blood Demon Tower Master didn't want to stay here any longer.

"However, now is not the best time. I will take action when the conflict escalates further!"

The Blood Demon Tower Master was very patient; he never made a move unless he was absolutely certain of victory! "Gagaga!"

In the sky outside the city, a black flame bird exuding a powerful aura charged towards the great formation.

The large bird's head was bald, revealing pale bones, and its eyes radiated a terrifying ferocity.

Its shape is similar to that of a crow, but it has a long red tail feather trailing behind it, like a cloud.

What makes it most unique is that it has two pale, ghostly hands on its wings, holding something that looks like a bone staff.

A Fifth Ring wizard went to stop it, but after only a few exchanges, the strange bird breathed blue flames, forcing him to retreat step by step. He tried everything he could, but he was no match for the strange bird and could only slink back to the city.

Seeing this, Simon stood up, began to spin the chess piece in his hand, and calmly said, "Let me deal with this beast."

"Lord Simon, caution is advised. The flames of this strange bird are rather peculiar; they even seem to counter my burning spells. I suspect it is a rare, exotic type of flame," said the Fifth Ring wizard who had escaped.

Simon replied calmly, "Understood. Don't worry, I'll handle it."

He flicked his finger, and chess pieces flew out, quickly surrounding the strange bird.

The strange bird flapped its wings, flames surged forth, and it roared in.

"Town!"

Simon said coldly.

The Fifth Ring magic array began to exert its power.

At the same time, flame rays shot out from his eyes, arriving in an instant!

Two large holes were burned into the chest of the firebird.

It screeched, brandishing the two bone staffs on its claws, and muttering incantations.

At the same time, a strange, eerie blue flame appeared. Simon's prized magic circle, once engulfed by the blue flame, began to tremble and soon collapsed.

Simon's expression changed slightly.

"Interesting. Looks like I'll have to use my real skills."

He patted his chest, and a phantom image of a Fire God god, reaching to the heavens and the earth, appeared.

As Simon clenched his fist, the phantom of the Fire God also clenched his fist! "Flame Fist!"

Boom! A fist shot out from the void, a crimson fist shadow suddenly appearing! The strange bird used its blue ghost fire to resist and actually managed to block it.

The Blood Demon Tower Master, and even the Commander-in-Chief, were shocked, clearly not expecting that this strange bird could contend with Simon.

"Flame Sword!"

Simon's face turned grim. The World Extinguishing Flame Sword appeared in Fire God's hand, and he slashed at the strange bird!

Rumble.

This time, the strange bird finally couldn't hold on any longer. Its blue flames were shattered, and it cried out as it retreated, only to have one of its legs severed by the sword light. Black blood dripped onto the ground, melting and creating a deep pit.

The strange bird spewed out countless corrosive gases, Simon dared not take it head-on, so he quickly dodged.

But they discovered that the strange bird had already fled and was hiding among the army of black beasts, not daring to show itself, but only driving the other black beasts to their deaths.

This scene is playing out not only on the Holy Fire Plateau, but also at other major Confluence Land such as the Sea of Stars and the Million Great Mountains.

However, the wizarding organizations had obtained some clues through their intelligence networks and thus had set up magic arrays in advance, so they could basically get through the first Black Beast Tide unscathed.

Dragon Palace Island.

Because of its distance from the Confluence Land, the Dark Beast Tide has not yet reached this area.

Levi was incredibly steady here.

The past six months or so.

In his spare time, he further refined his original design blueprints for magical artifacts. Everything was ready except for the materials and the crafting process.

Levi's mental strength has now reached 642 points, and the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique is not far from its limit.

After his seclusion ended, Levi observed the projection inside the Ancient Tower.

In one of the projections, he saw Ai Niya's figure.

Judging from the scene, it seems to be above the Deep Blue Wizard City.

A gigantic whale with tens of thousands of tentacles floats high in the sky, like an island in the air.

Those jellyfish-like tentacles continuously released Thunder, and thousands of Thunder fell, causing the magic array of the Witch City to tremble.

"Is this a level 5 peak black beast?" Levi's expression changed slightly.

Aside from a wizard at the peak of the Fifth Ring ring level, an ordinary Fifth Ring wizard would have no chance against this black beast.

Ai Niya only appeared briefly before disappearing. He was probably caught up in the live broadcast of the battle between the Fifth Ring Perfection Wizard and the giant whale, and was not the main character of this projection.

Seeing this, Levi breathed a sigh of relief.

"According to Ms. Triss, there have been several times in history when the Ancient Tower opened, just in time to coincide with the Black Beast Tide that only appears once every long period of time inside the Ancient Tower. On those occasions, most wizarding organizations suffered heavy casualties. It seems that... the opening time this time coincides with the Black Beast Tide again."

This is certainly bad news for most people.

Levi's first thought was that he now had the materials for making his divine talismans and magical artifacts!

Of course, the location where he is is unlikely to experience a large-scale Black Beast Tide. After all, this is not Confluence Land.

However, we cannot let our guard down. On the vast ocean, there are bound to be some unknown Confluence Land, and at that time, there may be black beasts attacking.

With this in mind, Levi thoroughly inspected the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon Prison, inside and out.

Summon all the extraordinary beings, the undead army.

"All departments, go on high alert! A powerful enemy may be coming. I will be leaving temporarily. Take good care of the house!"

After the briefing, everyone returned to their posts and began to stand guard.

Over the next few days, through projection, Levi was able to confirm that this was a massive Black Beast Tide sweeping across Ai Ou. It was no less impressive than the Sea Beast Tide in the Endless Sea, with peak level five black beasts frequently appearing.

Levi plans to take a trip to some of the Confluence Land in southern Ai Ou.

He was going to scavenge for trash, since few people wanted black beast materials.

Whether it's Talisman Making or refining weapons, he needs high-quality black beast materials.

He arrived Deep Blue Wizard City, Hermit Rune flickered, and he observed from afar.

Ai Niya and her teammates are inside the magic circle, casting spells to attack the black beasts outside.

"With the strength of the Deep Blue Organization, this first Black Beast Tide can be completely withstood. Ai Niya's role in the organization is that of a long-range precision strike missile, usually attacking within the large formation. As long as the Deep Blue Organization stands, he is safe and sound."

Levi murmured.

Over the next few days, he mingled among the battlefield, tirelessly picking up trash.

Without breaking a sweat, I collected a lot of level 4 black beast materials, and even a level 5 one.

After realizing it couldn't conquer this place, the giant whale at the peak of level five retreated back to the deep sea.

Levi secretly regretted it and quietly left for the next place.

One month later.

Levi wandered around, mainly scavenging for trash, occasionally killing black beasts, and accumulating a large amount of black beast materials.

"What a pity, there are no level 5 fire-type birds, nor the dragon skin I need."

Several days later.

Before his eyes appeared a vast ocean.

To be precise, it's a "great lake".

The lake is dotted with islands.

From afar, Levi saw a black, two-legged dragon spewing flames, hovering above the lake. Wherever its fiery breath passed, everything was reduced to charcoal.

A Fourth Ring Wizard's force field held for only a short time before he perished on the spot.

"Black Fire Flying Dragon, a hybrid Dragonkind, judging from its strength, it should be close to the Fifth Ring senior level. It's a pity it's a black beast... This thing can't be tamed by conventional methods. It's not worth wasting a Scarlet Contract slot. Let's not dwell on it. Let's just kill it and skin it. It can be used to refine the Sky Burning Ancient Umbrella."

Levi looked regretful; he had previously tried to tame the hybrid Dragonkind with his Dragon Might's might, but had failed.

It's unrealistic to try to purify this giant creature with Purification Potion like you would with Totem Worm.

If the Ancient Saint Plane becomes full of Saintess Fruit in the future, it would be possible to build a "Black Beast Purification Base" to specifically purify valuable black beasts and reform them.

With this in mind, Levi casually changed into the appearance of a wizard and flew in that direction.

Sea of Stars.

The outer sea area.

Several Fourth Ring Rogue Wizard fled in panic under the raging flames of the Black Fire Flying Dragon.

"Has the Extreme Ice Wizard not arrived yet?"

"No, he was stopped by another level-five black beast. The one who came to his aid was a newly promoted Fifth Ring wizard, Biggs, who is said to be Silver Beard's apprentice."

"That's good. As the disciple of Fifth Ring perfect expert, he should be able to contend with this black beast."

The Black Fire Flying Dragon charged wildly, as if entering an empty field. A small team of wizards hidden on the island was discovered. The six Rogue Wizard, like startled birds, fled in terror. They watched as the terrifying dragon's breath coalesced again, the intense heat scorching the heavens and earth.

"It's over."

These people were in a state of despair.

A giant hammer formed from flames slammed in and blasted the Black Fire Flying Dragon away!

The next moment, a short but burly male wizard arrived and said calmly, "I'll deal with this big guy. You can attack from a distance."

The Rogue Wizard were overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew, great! Lord Biggs has arrived. We're saved."

"We'll take charge of controlling things and creating the conditions for Lord Biggs."

Instead of running away, everyone fought alongside Biggs.

The Black Fire Flying Dragon over there shook its head, disoriented by the spell, but it was otherwise unharmed, only partially burned.

It is a fire-type Dragonkind and has high fire resistance.

"Flame Hammer!"

Biggs still relied on his most powerful Fourth Ring talent. He had only been Fifth Ring member for a few years and hadn't even mastered Protective Force Field, let alone Fifth Ring talent.

However, he believed that even if he couldn't defeat the black beast, he could hold it back until the Extreme Ice Wizard arrived.

Seeing this, the Black Fire Flying Dragon flapped its wings, and a storm of black flames swept out, engulfing the giant fire bull.

The giant bull vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea, but the black flame storm continued its relentless advance, hurtling towards him.

"Damn it, how can this black beast be so powerful?"

He was overconfident when he first entered the Fifth Ring, but when it came to actually fighting, he found that he wasn't as strong as he thought...

Boom! His Fourth Ring Protective Force Field was shattered. Immediately afterwards, his Fourth Ring defensive talent lit up, barely managing to block the attack.

"Everyone, retreat first. I'll cover you. This black beast is quite strong. I'm new to the Fifth Ring, so I might not be a match for it."

It was embarrassing for someone of his Fifth Ring strength and status to say such a thing, but he had no choice but to do so for the safety of these rogue cultivators.

The other independent cultivators' expressions changed. They had thought that this Fifth Ring wizard could withstand the black beast. But they hadn't expected that he would be forced to retreat after only one exchange.

"Roar!"

Seeing that the newcomer was of average strength, the Black Fire Flying Dragon opened its mouth wide, unleashing a deluge of flames.

Biggs cast spells to defend himself while covering the retreat of these Rogue Wizard.

The Black Fire Flying Dragon pursued relentlessly, its wings bursting into flames, and its speed increased rapidly!

"Run!"

"Oh no, I guess I'll have to stay here in the Ancient Tower."

"Hold on a little longer, the Extreme Ice Wizard will be here soon!"

Anyone who fell behind was instantly devoured by the Black Fire Flying Dragon as it shattered the force field.

Finally, the Black Fire Flying Dragon drew ever closer, its terrifying breath brewing once more! Despair filled the hearts of the wizards present.

Suddenly, the lake surface exploded with a roar, and a water dragon roared, spiraling upwards and binding and entangling the Black Fire Flying Dragon.

The Black Fire Flying Dragon's dragon breath was interrupted, and it immediately went silent.

Flames engulfed its body, causing the water dragon to crack.

High in the sky, a Gray-Robed Wizard gazed at it with indifferent eyes.

The Black Fire Flying Dragon roared, its wings wreathed in flames, and swept away!

"Overestimating yourself!"

Levi sneered.

With every gesture he made, another water dragon flew out and entangled the Black Fire Flying Dragon.

After repeated teasing, the Black Fire Flying Dragon was successfully angered.

It had been at level five for a long time and was a black beast, so its strength was comparable to that of Dragon Spawn like Gan Site.

The flying dragon spewed black flames, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, and headed towards Levi.

Behind Levi, a jet-black bronze statue appeared, and the Rock Demon Giant emerged, breaking through the terrifying black flames and pouncing on the flying dragon, its fists pounding into it with brutal force! "Sir, I'm here to help you!"

Biggs saw the Black Fire Flying Dragon being stopped by the Gray-Robed Wizard and wanted to help.

"No need. I'll handle this beast. You may leave."

Levi said calmly.

"Alright... I won't bother you any longer. Please be careful, sir. This black beast is no ordinary creature."

Biggs was turned away, but he wasn't angry. The other party's strength gave him the right to be arrogant.

He and the other independent cultivators had no choice but to retreat.

Levi continuously controlled the flying dragon with the Water Dragon's Chant, while the Rock Demon tightly clamped the flying dragon's head with its legs, displaying a fierce fighting spirit reminiscent of Wu Song fighting the tiger!

In the distance, Biggs and a group of Rogue Wizard watched all of this with utter shock.

"A wizard's body, punching a flying dragon, is he even human?" a rogue cultivator Heart Sense.

"Yes, that's too violent! That's a real man! He has the style of an ancient Body Refinement Wizard!"

Even Biggs fell silent. The opponent's mental strength was higher than his own, but not by an exaggerated margin. However, the combat power the opponent displayed was far stronger than his own.

As the dragon's wailing gradually subsided, its head was soon smashed flat.

Levi dismembered it and collected the useful materials into his ring.

He ignored the lone cultivators watching from afar and left directly.

"Please wait a moment, sir."

Biggs ' voice came through.

Levi turned around, frowned, and asked, "What is it?"

"You must be Rogue Wizard."

"So what if it is?"

"I am Biggs of the White-Robed Wizard Society. I would like to take the liberty of inviting you to join us in dealing with the current Dark Beast Tide and fighting against those top wizarding organizations that oppress us."

"Not interested."

Levi turned and left.

"Sir, this is an introduction to our organization and my contact information. You can take a look, and if you are interested, please feel free to contact me."

A stone slab flew over and hovered in mid-air. Levi thought for a moment, then told the Rock Demon to put it away and left.
