Collecting the Heavenly Flame, Breaking the Divine Talisman, Dragon Valley!
Sea of Stars.
Biggs and the other wizards stood there, watching the Gray-Robed Wizard disappear.
"How arrogant! Lord Biggs's invitation is so polite, yet he doesn't even deign to accept it," a wizard remarked.
"With that kind of strength, they really don't need to join an organization. As long as they are careful, they can thrive in this Ai Ou Continent," another wizard said.
Biggs sighed and said, "Go back, all of you."
On his way back, he encountered the Extreme Ice Wizard arrived late.
The Extreme Ice Wizard asked apologetically, "Was the black beast dealt with?"
Biggs said, "Thank you for your help, Your Excellency. The problem has been resolved."
The Extreme Ice Wizard was startled and couldn't help but exclaim, "Lord Biggs truly lives up to his reputation as Silver Beard's disciple. To be able to defeat a level-five black beast so soon after entering the Fifth Ring is truly a testament to the power of the young."
Biggs shook his head and said with a wry smile, "You flatter me. When I arrived, the black beast had already been dealt with by a passing Rogue Wizard."
Upon hearing this, the Extreme Ice Wizard said, "I heard that the black beast was a hybrid Dragonkind. Given the Dragonkind's physique and the black beast's inherently brutal nature, the fact that it was dealt with so quickly must mean it was a senior Fifth Ring- ring wizard."
Biggs said, "Judging from his mental strength, he probably hasn't reached the standard of a senior Fifth Ring cultivator yet, but he is indeed much stronger than me... As for his innate spells, he should focus on body tempering and then practice the spells of the Oceanic School. He hasn't shown his other abilities excessively, so it's impossible to determine whether he is a senior Fifth Ring cultivator. However, I have already sent him an invitation, and whether he joins or not is up to him."
Several days later.
The first Black Beast Tide in the Sea of Stars gradually receded.
The White-Robed Five Elders and the other Fifth Ring wizards gathered on Gandalf Island.
When he heard from Biggs that a powerful Body Refinement Wizard had happened to pass by, killed a black beast, and saved a group of rogue cultivators, he was deeply moved.
The Miraculous Madam, one of the five elders, quickly asked, "Judging from your description, that black beast should be Black Fire Flying Dragon, one of the strongest hybrid Dragonkind. If it doesn't die young, it has a chance to become a peak level five black beast. It seems this rogue cultivator is quite powerful. Did you extend an invitation?"
Biggs said, "I invited him, but he refused on the spot. I gave him the organization manual... He must be the kind of free-spirited rogue cultivator who has a lot of concerns and has an aura that keeps strangers at bay."
"Heh, just a senior member of the Fifth Ring, yet he's quite the show-off. Take it or leave it," Wizard Farrar said coldly.
Although he is a member of the Fire Bull Family, he does not want to join the Nine Cities Alliance, so he stays here.
As the saying goes, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Here, he is a high-ranking "Five Elders," but in the Nine Cities Alliance, his status would certainly be lower.
Seeing this, the Red Bone Wizard said, "Whether we come or not is not something we can decide. Let's not talk about this anymore. This is only the first Black Beast Tide. While there's a lull, let's invite as many Fifth Ring Wizards as possible. That way, we can get through this more smoothly."
Leave the Sea of Stars.
Levi continued flying towards some major Confluence Land.
Having hunted down the Black Fire Flying Dragon, he only needs the bones and tail feathers of a level five fire-type bird to begin crafting the Sky Burning Ancient Umbrella.
He planned to try his luck at the Holy Fire Plateau in the south.
On the way, he casually browsed the White-Robed Wizard Society' Handbook.
Suddenly, a familiar name came into view. His expression turned strange, and he murmured:
"Gandalf? Isn't that my alternate identity?"
After reading the manual, Levi was both amused and exasperated.
He initially changed his identity to Gandalf simply to avoid being recognized by Ai Niya, and also because of his own wicked sense of humor, and incidentally saved a group of rogue cultivators.
Who would have thought that, several years later...
His unintentional act was remembered by so many independent cultivators.
They even established a so-called "White-Robed Wizard Society" in their own name.
"You're just using my pseudonym without paying me, huh?" Levi complained.
"A savior of the suffering, a chivalrous heart, fearless of power, a beacon of light for independent cultivators... This assessment is quite apt."
Walking along the road, Levi pondered. Originally, he had no intention of joining the White-Robed Wizard Society, but now a new idea suddenly opened up for him.
"We can let the Holy Infant join them. After all, having so many rogue cultivators is a complex intelligence network. With the Holy Infant's status, he is enough to rise to the top of the Wizarding Guild. This way, whether it's searching for clues about the Ageless Holy Grail or exchanging resources with other wizards to refine magical artifacts and Alchemy creatures, we can save a lot of time."
Levi did not intend to have his true self join in; his true self would still remain stationed on Dragon Palace Island.
Moreover, judging from the manual, two of the White-Robed Five Elders were his former enemies.
"Farrar, Red Bone... So you're here. Tsk tsk tsk, I'll let you be smug for a while. Once I've improved my strength, I can avenge what happened back then."
One month later.
Levi wandered around many small Confluence Land and picked up a bunch of level 4 and 5 black beast materials for free.
Unfortunately, the level 5 fire-type bird he needed had yet to be found.
"In the southern part of the Ai Ou Continent, there are only two places most likely to have this kind of bird: the Million Great Mountains and the Holy Fire Plateau. Relatively speaking, the Holy Fire Plateau is easier to find, but you have to be careful not to encounter people from the Nine Cities Alliance."
After weighing the pros and cons, Levi still went to the Holy Fire Plateau.
He didn't give up on the other side of the Million Great Mountains either. He asked the Mind Flayer to mobilize some people to help him search. In this way, he could do both things at the same time and be more efficient.
Holy Fire Plateau.
The first Black Beast Tide has already passed safely.
With this fortress-like city, unless a level six black beast intervenes, it will be difficult to shake the Nine Cities Alliance's layers of defense.
The ground was littered with the corpses of black beasts, and wizards of the Combustion School were using magic to burn them to prevent the elemental power in the vicinity from being contaminated.
If Levi were here, he would surely curse and berate him for such a waste.
Suddenly, another group of black beasts appeared on the distant horizon, seemingly even more numerous than before.
"Immediately notify the Commander-in-Chief, the second Black Beast Tide is coming!"
The wizards quickly retreated back into the city.
Occupying such a large Confluence Land comes at the cost of facing an even larger Black Beast Tide.
Moreover, this time, among those black beast armies, a Black Goat as large as a mountain, carrying thousands of black mists and tentacles, is attacking the giant city.
"This... this is the Dark Beast Lord. I have directly consulted the City Lord. Only a Level Six being can contend with this monster!"
In a short time.
The entire Nine Cities Alliance has once again entered an unprecedented state of alert.
One by one, the wizards quickly returned to their posts. The Blood Demon Tower Master, upon seeing the Black Goat, appeared somber on the surface but was inwardly overjoyed.
"The opportunity has arrived! Hahaha, this way, even the most threatening Wizard Roman, will be restrained. Next, seizing the Dead Soul Jujube Tree will be a sure thing!"
On the other side.
Simon frowned slightly and looked into the distance.
A bald wizard dressed in a fire-colored robe appeared behind him.
His face was calm, and he possessed an aura of authority that commanded respect without anger. His vast spiritual power made Simon feel as if he were standing on the Abyss.
"I'll deal with this Black Goat. Simon, you go protect the formation and the fortress."
Simon replied respectfully, "Yes, Lord Luo Man."
In the face of a level six expert, even someone as dazzling as him is nothing more than a roadside weed.
Behind Lord Luo Man, a gigantic phantom of a fiery serpent appeared, hundreds of meters long, coiling in the void, flicking its tongue, and staring menacingly at the Black Goat.
"Primal Soul Wizard Manifestation: Fierce Serpent Dance!"
The giant flaming serpent flew out and engaged the Black Goat in fierce combat! Boom! A terrifying shockwave shattered the surrounding horde of black beasts.
In the sky, countless tentacles hung down from the Black Goat, like a Black Forest, surrounding Luo Man!
Luo Man's fiery serpent, spewing flames, turned the Black Forest to Ashes.
This is a true clash of titans, Simon is thrilled to watch!
Suddenly, he noticed that the black flame bird that had embarrassed him in front of everyone during the last Black Beast Tide had reappeared and was attacking the great formation.
"This time, you can't escape!"
His ribbons stretched taut, then suddenly extended, wrapping around the strange bird.
This unassuming ribbon was, in fact, a magical artifact.
Boom! Caught off guard, the strange bird was entangled in the red ribbon and could not break free.
"Even a seasoned veteran of the Fifth Ring wouldn't be able to break free from my [Purgatory Dance], let alone a beast like you!"
This Purgatory Dance is a Fifth Ring magical artifact, one of the most important magical artifacts on Simon's person.
A great war has broken out!
I don't know how much time will pass.
On the battlefield of Origin Soul.
"This monster is really tough. I have no choice but to use the Horcrux."
Luo Man's serpentine serpent suddenly spat out a mirror.
This mirror is ordinary; it looks like a magnifying glass, with a bulge in the middle.
"You monster, dying beneath my Sky Strike Flame Mirror will have been worthwhile for you in this world!"
With a wave of his hand, Luo Man summoned countless celestial fire elemental forces within a ten-mile radius, all converging towards the mirror.
In the sky, a giant funnel-shaped cannon barrel formed! From one side of the barrel, rays as fine as golden needles shot out!
This strike tore through the void and arrived in an instant!
The Black Goat's body was split in two! Immediately afterwards, thousands upon thousands of rays formed a vast net and enveloped it!
The Black Goat's countless tentacles were all cut off, turning into chunks of black flesh that exploded with a bang.
The terrifying shockwave sent Luo Man into the void, instantly teleporting him back to the fortress.
Most of the minced flesh was destroyed by the Sky Strike Flame Mirror, but a small portion of the minced flesh actually grew strange wings and flew away.
"What the hell is that?"
Luo Man tried to save the pieces of flesh, but it was too late.
"After this battle, even if it manages to survive, it will be unable to pose a threat to Skyfire Fortress," he muttered to himself.
On the other side, seeing that its boss had actually exploded, the strange bird also used all its strength to break free from Simon's restraints, squawking as it flew away from the place.
Simon Unstoppable Wrath: "This time, I will kill you!"
How could a dragon slayer let the monster bird escape twice in a row?
Just as he was about to give chase, a Fourth Ring Wizard called out to him, saying in fear, "Lord Simon, the Dead Soul Jujube Tree is gone! Fire Crocodile City Lord has taken advantage of the chaos to steal treasures and has left Skyfire City."
"What? You bunch of useless trash can't even watch over a tree!"
Simon grabbed the wizard, his eyes blazing with fire.
He calmed down, left the man aside, asked the Fire Crocodile City Lord in the direction he had gone, and chased after him.
His direction was clearly towards the Million Great Mountains.
The wizard who came to deliver the message had a barely perceptible flash of blood-red light in his eyes.
Several days later.
The western edge of the Holy Fire Plateau.
The Blood Demon Tower Master was in a good mood. Behind him, a blood-red demonic Demon Shadow conjured by magic carried Dead Soul Jujube Tree.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Simon, he must have gone to the Million Great Mountains to look for me. It's a pity. I, the Blood Demon Tower Master, have been in the Wizard World for so many years. It's no problem for me to play with a junior like you. I'm going to the West Sea now. You can look for me slowly... Hehehe, this Dead Soul Jujube Tree is destined for me. If I advance to the Origin Soul realm in the future, I will definitely plant it in my Wizard Tower to accompany me through the long years."
"Gagaga".
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind me.
The Blood Demon Tower Master's expression changed as he looked at the heavily injured bird.
"This strange bird is too bizarre. Even Simon failed to kill it twice. With my experience as Fifth Ring expert, killing it wouldn't be difficult. But I don't do things that don't benefit me. Let's retreat!"
He transformed into a streak of crimson light and swiftly departed.
The strange bird missed its target and continued to roam the area, preying on other black beasts to heal its injuries.
Beneath its black feathers on its back, there was a piece of black flesh with tentacles extending out and inserting into the back of the strange bird.
One month later.
Levi's figure appeared on the Holy Fire Plateau.
"Damn it, what's going on? Lovers Rune, are you even up to par? Hurry up and give me a fire-type bird!"
Levi cursed inwardly.
He had been away from Dragon Palace Island for several months, and along the way, through killing and scavenging, he had collected several level-five hybrid Dragonkind corpses. Yet, he hadn't seen a single level-five fire-type bird.
"It must be because I obtained too many Truth Wonder before, and used up all my energy... Or maybe I haven't done enough good deeds lately, and my merits are insufficient?"
Levi cursed and swore, only daring to search on the edge of the Holy Fire Plateau.
If they venture deeper, they risk encountering a massive army of black beasts, or powerful figures from the Nine Cities Alliance.
"If I can't find it within a month, I'll go back to Dragon Palace Island and work on crafting the other magical artifacts first. We can deal with the [Sky Burning Ancient Umbrella] later."
Several days later.
In a Gobi forest in the western part of the Holy Fire Plateau, countless black plants grow on the ground, radiating a high-temperature aura.
This is the Black Prairie, where black beasts often roam.
A group of wizards arrived at this place.
Judging from their uniforms, they were all from the Nine Cities Alliance. The leader was an elderly Fifth Ring wizard who looked extremely shrewd.
His name is Timothy, and he is a Fifth Ring Artifact Forging.
"Keep your guard up, or don't blame me for being impolite if you ruin my plans," Timothy said coldly.
"This Void Rend Beast is only a level four creature, what does Master need it for?"
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. I have my own clever uses for them."
Several days later.
Timothy and his group arrived at the Void Rend Beast's lair, a deep, dark cave with no known destination.
"Next, you will use the magic array to seal off this area. The Void Rend Beast is extremely alert and fast. It also possesses a rare ability similar to the Void Teleportation of Primal Soul Wizard. Once it escapes, even Fifth Ring Wizard will not be able to catch it. If you ruin my plans because of you, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Clear!"
The group began setting traps and magic arrays here to prevent the Void Rend Beast from teleporting away!
Timothy activated his Protective Force Field and entered the cave.
Before long, a small, translucent beast, resembling a pangolin, flashed out and entered the magic array precisely.
Its face was panicked, and its sharp claws drew circles in the air, sparks flying everywhere. The void was actually cut open, and a portal was already half formed.
"Seal up!"
A voice rang out.
The portal suddenly went out and disappeared.
"Squeak squeak squeak".
The little beast looked panicked and struggled frantically, but was firmly suppressed by the magic array.
A specially made glass bottle suddenly grew larger, and a suction force pulled it inside.
Timothy burst into laughter.
"Even with the talent for teleportation, it's all in vain before the wisdom and knowledge of a wizard. These claws of yours are mine now."
He put the jar away and hid it inside his robe.
Deep within the dark cavern, black, fleshy tentacles enveloped the area. Within, a strange bird opened its eyes.
Three days later.
Above the Black Prairie.
A giant black beast, resembling a bat, led a swarm of fiery red bats, like a burning cloud, and attacked a gray-robed man in mid-air.
Soon, a swarm of bats piled up and enveloped it.
"Three Dragons Flame Kill!"
As the three-colored flames exploded in this world, the entire group of bats turned to ashes in the explosion.
Only the leader, though severely wounded, did not die.
As the longsword fell, he was cut in two, and blood splattered across the sky.
Levi peeled off the intact fur from the bat and then extracted the crimson bones from its wing membranes, which were as light as feathers yet extremely tough.
"The bones of this Fire Demon Giant Bat are not bad; they can be used as a substitute to refine the Sky Burning Ancient Umbrella."
Levi collected them, and relying on the Bronze Statue Body Refining Method, he possessed considerable immunity to the negative energy, such as radiation and corrosion, carried by these black beasts. If it were any other wizard, using his fighting style, over time, it would definitely have some negative effects on their body.
"Let's go. After we've explored this place, we'll head back to Dragon Palace Island."
He continued deeper into the Black Prairie, but discovered a sense of danger, as if it were issuing a warning.
"It seems there are Level 5 beings lurking here, and they are stronger than the Fire Demon Giant Bat from before."
After thinking for a moment, he continued to venture deeper. If he encountered something beyond his control, he would use the Ouroboros Ring to teleport away.
Not long after, Levi encountered the source of the danger.
It was a strange bird with a skeletal head, black wings with human hands that held a white bone staff, and nine red tail feathers like those of a phoenix trailing behind it.
The other side seemed to have noticed the fighting here and rushed over. Then the two sides met.
Even Levi, who prided himself on being an extraordinary biological expert, was initially unsure what kind of monster it was.
"Never mind, it's a bird anyway... I've searched high and low and found it without any effort. Your tail is mine!"
Levi pointed his finger, and a water dragon rose up, coiling around the strange bird.
This strange bird was very alert and swift, and actually managed to evade Levi's attack.
"He has some ability."
This was the first time Levi had encountered an enemy who could dodge his Water Dragon's Chant Roar.
"The true strength of this strange bird is probably no weaker than that of a senior wizard of the Fifth Ring."
Behind Levi, the Rock Demon Giant appeared, roaring as it charged toward the strange bird.
However, the strange bird was clearly faster. It kept moving around, using its eerie blue flames to attack the Rock Demon.
Even the surface of the Rock Demon's body, which has magic resistance comparable to that of a gargoyle, was cracked from the heat, which is enough to demonstrate the extraordinary nature of this ghostly blue flame.
"Could this be some kind of powerful, exotic flame?"
Levi got serious and, taking advantage of the Rock Demon's distraction of the strange bird, he unhesitatingly pulled out a series of purple flags.
"Fifth Ring Formation - Thunder Royal Court!"
As Fifth Ring magic array wizard, casting this spell is a piece of cake for him, something that Fourth Ring Wizard can't match.
In an instant, a colossal temple of Thunder descended with a deafening roar.
The magic circle enveloped the strange bird, and the suppressive force slowed its speed.
Taking this opportunity, countless bronze spikes burst forth from the Rock Demon's body!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! In an instant, the strange bird was covered in sharp spikes, howling in pain.
It howled and waved its staff, its eerie blue flames expanding outwards from itself, like a blue sun.
Levi instantly switched the Rock Demon to Water Ghost form, moving it away from the strange bird.
At the same time, under his control, the Thunder Royal Court continued to shrink, increasing the pressure.
Boom! Accompanied by a deafening explosion.
The Thunder Royal Court magic array was completely torn apart, and even the array flags within it were severely damaged.
The Water Ghost was fast and sustained some injuries, but nothing serious.
The power of this attack even caused Levi's expression to change slightly.
The strange bird's aura had weakened somewhat, likely due to considerable exertion.
Levi dispelled the magic array and continued to control and assist the Rock Demon with Water Dragon's Chant's Roar.
At the same time, he released Phoenix and flew away in the Feathered Serpent.
A raging storm engulfed everything!
The Feathered Serpent charged up its air cannon and unleashed it! The terrifying impact pierced a large hole in the monster bird's chest.
It did not die, but flapped its wings, trying to escape!
"Leave the feathers behind!"
Levi unleashed several consecutive Wind Dragon Swiftness, combined with Scarlet Darkside, and swooped down from above the strange bird's head, grabbing its tail.
"Phoenix, Rock Demon, hold it down!"
Levi's body swelled, black flames enveloped him, and he transformed into a dragon-scaled giant, even unleashing the forms of the Wrathful Dragon Venerable and the Giant Dragon Warrior.
"Dragon God!"
Levi roared, Three-Headed Dragon God descended, his six arms grabbing all the strange bird's tail feathers.
Having finally found suitable materials, he couldn't let them go easily! Thus, the three colossal beings— the Dragon God, the Rock Demon, and the Feathered Serpent —subdued the strange bird.
Levi wielded the Red Dragon Ironcleaver and activated the Sky Dragon Sword Canon! Terrifying Red Dragon Sword Qi slashed down towards the strange bird's head! The strange bird let out a wail and tried to block with its staff, but it was shattered by the sword qi.
A snap.
Its head was severed by the sword energy.
The strange bird did not die as Levi had imagined.
That sense of danger hadn't left.
He noticed that on the back of the strange bird was a piece of black flesh that smelled of blood and gore, with tentacles rooted to the bird's body.
"So this is where the sense of danger came from!"
On the other side, the Dragon God unleashed its immense power, completely plucking off the tail feathers.
Levi entered the Dragon God's body, Dragon God mastered the Red Dragon Ironcleaver! An even more powerful Red Dragon Sword Qi slashed down! Boom! The strange bird, suppressed by the Rock Demon and the Feathered Serpent, was cut in two.
The mass of black flesh suddenly burst forth, emitting a strange spiritual fluctuation.
Levi was already prepared; his Nightmare Helmet emitted a black light, blocking the fluctuation.
Some of the aftershocks were easily shattered by the more solidified five-layered Law Ring Holy Tower in his mind with the sound of bells! "A mere lump of flesh and blood can have such a powerful mental impact. It seems that the owner of this flesh and blood should be a level six existence."
Levi remained vigilant but not overly panicked.
If this flesh and blood could freely possess or control him, it wouldn't be clinging to the strange bird so tightly.
It saw that the strange bird was failing, so it thought of using its mental power to control Levi and then possess it.
But Levi's numerous methods rendered it futile!
"No matter what you are, I'll smash you to pieces!"
The three heads of the Three-Headed Dragon God spewed black flames, and when the giant sword struck down, nothing could break through!
The black flesh and blood transformed into a Black Goat as big as a small mountain, and each hair was a black tentacle.
"Just bluffing! I can do that too, Heavenly Net of Treachery!"
In the blink of an eye, a wave of spiritual energy rippled out from Levi.
A colossal spider, towering to the sky, appeared, its web covering the Black Goat!
The Dragon God attacked with sword energy, while Levi assisted with the Fire Dragon Tribulation attack, and he also threw out a bunch of Third Order divine talismans.
Under such a saturation attack, the mass of black flesh was continuously dissolved and melted away, eventually vanishing into nothingness.
At the same time, the sense of danger that had been lingering around Levi finally dissipated.
"Is this what a level six existence is like... Even if a piece of my flesh were to fall from my body, I would give it my all."
At this moment, Levi deeply realized the vast gap between the Origin Soul and the Fifth Ring realm! "In this Dark Ancient Tower, geniuses are as numerous as clouds, such as Dragon Slayers, Sky Dragon Wizard, Snow Lotus Witch... But out of so many people, how many can safely reach the Origin Soul?"
Before reaching the Origin Soul, countless difficulties and obstacles kept geniuses away.
"Perhaps, in the eyes of Primal Soul Wizard, so-called geniuses are just playing house."
Levi arrived at the corpse of the strange bird.
He had the Rock Demon dismantle its skeleton and collect all the usable materials from the strange bird.
Phoenix flew over and found a dark blue crystal inside the strange bird's head, radiating intense heat.
He was looking at Levi with a smug expression, clearly waiting to be praised.
"Well done."
Levi picked up the blue crystal and examined it carefully.
"What is this? Could it be some kind of energy crystal like that of Fifth Ring wizard?"
Levi had never heard of such crystals being formed after a being reaches level five of extraordinary beings. He had killed so many, yet he had never seen one.
Sensing the rich fire element within, Levi guessed that this was probably some form of alien flame, similar to the Black Annihilation Thunder he had refined.
Alien Thunder and alien flames will automatically be released after the original host is killed.
However, this flame happens to appear in the form of crystals.
Levi's inner analysis.
"No matter what, this is definitely a good thing. That azure flame is too strong. Phoenix's flame was completely suppressed. It feels like it can restrain ordinary flames."
Levi carefully placed the blue crystals into a jar filled with a high-concentration Purification Potion.
"What a pleasant surprise! My luck has all come back!"
Killing a strange bird not only replenished the materials for the Sky Burning Ancient Umbrella, but also yielded a unique type of flame.
Levi was in high spirits and continued searching through the pile of rotten flesh in front of him.
He was searching for the stomach of the strange bird, having previously found treasure inside the stomach of a giant pig.
After Levi killed the Black Beast, he would open a blind box and search for treasure inside the giant beast's belly.
Sure enough, when he opened the giant bird's stomach, which was filled with corrosive liquid, he was stunned by what was inside.
A small pile of witchcraft artifacts, rings, and some undigested remains...
"I knew there was something good. During this Black Beast Tide, countless wizards have lost their lives here."
Levi looked smug.
He picked out all the undigested food and then washed away the mucus on it.
"With so many Storage Ring, this strange bird must have eaten quite a few people. Inadvertently, I've done a good deed and avenged these wronged souls."
Levi opened each of the rings and removed all the items inside.
"There's even Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact, the Secret Fire Ball. It looks like it belongs to Fifth Ring wizard from the Nine Cities Alliance. And this ' Book of Kane,' it's the same as mine."
After a rough inventory, Great Stone had amassed over a million, along with a pile of Fourth Ring magical artifacts, one Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact, and several spell Crystal Ball.
"It's a huge hit."
He collected the spoils he had found.
A pair of sharp claws, resembling those of some extraordinary creature, came into view, their edges radiating a bluish light.
It seems that the owner of the claw has been digested, leaving only the indigestible claw temporarily inside the body.
Levi picked up the claw and gently stroked it, only to find that faint ripples were coming from the surrounding void.
He was breathing rapidly; he had never been so excited, not even when he encountered a rare earth-level artifact.
"This... this claw wouldn't be from Void Rend Beast, would it?"
Void Rend Beast, a renowned and extraordinary creature that has become extinct in the Wizard World.
Its adult form is only at the fourth level, and it is not aggressive, not good at fighting, and belongs to the category of small creatures.
However, as its name suggests, this extraordinary creature possesses an extremely powerful and extraordinary talent.
That means you can use your claws to tear through the void of the prime material plane and teleport short distances! You should know that this is usually the signature ability of Primal Soul Wizard.
Of course, the teleportation distance of the Void Rend Beast is far less than that of the Primal Soul Wizard.
But that's already incredible!
If the claws of the Void Rend Beast are combined with unique Artifact Forging knowledge and refined into a magical artifact, a magical artifact capable of short-distance teleportation can be created.
As long as a magical artifact has this function, even if its other functions are terrible, it is still considered a top-quality artifact, like the Ouroboros Ring.
"They've made a fortune."
Levi grinned from ear to ear. After thoroughly checking everything to make sure nothing was missed, he turned the rotten flesh into Ashes and left the place.
This long journey has achieved its purpose; it's time to head home!
Dragon Palace Island.
Levi rushed over in a flurry.
Seeing that the great formation was intact, they knew that no one had come.
"This place is really nice; even the black beasts don't come to play with me... I was originally planning to use a grand formation to kill some of the black beasts and take their hides to Talisman Making," Levi sighed slightly.
Inside the weapon-refining room.
The Holy Infant is still Talisman Making.
Levi opened the Proficiency Panel and found that his Talisman Making skill was only about six months away from reaching Fourth Order.
"Let's begin the weapon forging process. We'll start with the Extreme Fire Light Wheel. Now that we have the Void Rending Beast Claw, we need to adapt our original design."
The days that followed.
Levi, the Holy Infant, Phoenix spent their days in the weapon-refining room.
Levi was completely immersed in the weapon-forging process and could not extricate himself.
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
This day.
Under the Holy Infant's brush, dragons and phoenixes danced, his mental energy highly concentrated as Talisman Making on the animal hide, his Art Power constantly surging into it.
Levi also temporarily stopped his work and devoted himself to Talisman Making.
After a while, the Holy Infant and Levi exhaled at the same time.
"It's done."
They said it in unison.
A fiery red talisman, painted from the skin of a level four fire bat, floated in the air, adorned with a lifelike crimson dragon design.
"Fourth-Order Fire Dragon Tribulation Talisman!"
Levi opened the Proficiency Panel.
Levi ——————
Talisman Making: Fourth Order (1/20000)...
"Hehehe, the next step in the Divine Talisman Way is to move towards the Fifth Order of the liver. This is a slow and gradual process, and it won't be completed in a short time. The Holy Infant won't have to go to jail with me anymore."
However, the magical artifact that Levi, the old father, prepared for the Holy Infant was not yet fully crafted.
"Holy Infant, your next goal is to refine one thousand Fourth-Order Fire Dragon Tribulation Talisman."
He handed the Holy Infant a Storage Ring containing a mountain of various fire-type black beast pelts, all of which were level four or higher and he had already skinned them. This was his biggest haul from scavenging!
Levi calculated that, based on the speed at which the Holy Infant Talisman Making, once a thousand Fourth Order talismans were completed, his own magical artifact would be almost finished.
The Holy Infant naturally had no complaints and continued to devote himself to the tedious work of Talisman Making.
This scene made Phoenix's eyes twitch. "This madman, when he goes crazy he even exploits himself, he's incomprehensible!"
Levi continued to study witchcraft artifacts.
During this period, apart from regular meditation and Breathing Technique, other work was temporarily put on hold.
Time always flies when you're practicing spiritual cultivation.
In the blink of an eye.
More than three years have passed.
The year 1204 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of the Freezing Winter.
The 39th year since the opening of the Dark Ancient Tower.
The past three years.
These were three difficult years for all the top wizarding organizations.
At the Confluence Land, the Black Beast Tide are occurring more and more frequently and are becoming increasingly dense.
Level 5 black beasts have appeared frequently, and even peak level 5 and level 6 beasts have descended upon us.
After entering the Ancient Tower, even the most powerful and influential top-tier wizarding organizations, who had been sailing smoothly, suffered losses to varying degrees.
Some top wizarding organizations were forced to temporarily evacuate their bases from the Confluence Land. They only gradually returned once the Black Beast Tide began to subside.
Amidst the chaos, some Rogue Wizard profited and got a share of the spoils.
In order to resist the Black Beasts, more and more vulnerable wizards joined the White-Robed Wizard Society of the Sea of Stars.
This poses a threat to other top organizations.
Those who are eyeing the market with predatory intent are waiting for their chance.
In the past three years, some people have claimed to have discovered a new Confluence Land on the Holy Fire Plateau.
Many hybrid Dragonkind live among them, and there are even traces of Dragon Spawn.
This Confluence Land, located in a bottomless rift valley, is known by wizards as the "Dragon Abyss" or "Dragon Valley."
Driven by curiosity, some wizards went there in an attempt to capture some hybrid Dragonkind.
The result was heavy casualties; most of them never returned.
According to some wizards who managed to return by chance, in the Abyss there is a Black Scale behemoth as large as a mountain. Under its fiery breath, even Fifth Ring wizard can only flee in panic, powerless to resist.
This colossal beast has been identified by experts from the Dragon School as the "Black Lotus Beast"! It is said to be the most powerful Dragon Spawn in the multiverse.
This Dragon Spawn was born from a powerful level 10 Mythical Creature known as the "Red Lotus of the End" and the "King of Fire Dragons".
"Red Lotus Dragon!"
This kind of dragon has long since disappeared into the river of time, and no one has ever seen its trace in the Pan-dimensional world.
The "Black Lotus Beast" race, which it gave birth to, is extremely rare and is suspected to be extinct.
The Black Lotus Beast that guards Dragon Valley, though not yet an adult, is no less powerful than Fifth Ring perfect wizard due to its strong bloodline.
Wizards gradually gave up exploring Dragon Valley, while some Dragon Spawn hidden in the shadows began to turn their attention there.
As time passed, the Black Beast Tide gradually receded.
On the Ai Ou Continent, power and the landscape have been reshuffled.
Undercurrents are surging among the forces of barbarians, demons, and humans.
In the Kane Empire, fully armed Empire Mage embark on a journey to eliminate the evil mages and alien races roaming the continent, in accordance with the will of the Supreme Law God!
Deep within the Million Great Mountains, black temples rise from the ground, and towering phantoms of Demon King, as majestic as mountains, gaze northward.
The situation in Ai Ou is becoming increasingly tense.
Looking at the world's changing landscape, there is only one place with truly beautiful scenery... it is none other than the desolate Dragon Palace Island.
Three years, a full three years! Not a single black beast managed to find this place!
This made Levi somewhat sad. He had originally planned to wait for the black beasts to deliver the materials to his door and then automatically harvest them using the magic array, but it was clear that he had been overthinking it.
But that's fine, after all, safety comes first, nothing else matters.
Over the course of three years, the Holy Infant crafted over a thousand Fourth Order divine talismans.
He consumed most of the black beast materials that Levi had previously accumulated.
According to Levi's tests, these divine talismans, in sets of one hundred, are combined with a magic array to trap the enemy and then thrown out all at once to detonate.
An ordinary Fifth Ring wizard is doomed unless they have an incredible trump card! Even a seasoned Fifth Ring- ring wizard is likely to die; perhaps only a fully-fledged Fifth Ring- ring wizard can escape unscathed.
This is Levi's Divine Talisman Way: to win through quantity, and for quantitative change to lead to qualitative change.
If one day, one could throw a hundred Fifth Order divine talismans at once, and if they all hit their mark, then Primal Soul Wizard would have a nine-out-of-ten chance of dying.
After the Holy Infant's mission was completed, Levi let him rest.
He himself devoted himself entirely to crafting magical artifacts.
Before him were two completed magical artifacts.
On the left is a set of two small golden rings, their surfaces radiating a mysterious cyan glow that distorts the surrounding void. This is the [Extreme Fire Light Wheel].
On the right is a fiery red ring about half a meter in diameter, radiating a scorching aura; this is the [Red Dragon Ring].
He was still working on the last piece, an ancient umbrella that floated in mid-air and slowly rotated.
The ancient umbrella is adorned with nine crimson ribbons and tassels, resembling nine fiery dragons.
This is the most complex and powerful magical artifact that Levi has ever crafted: the Sky Burning Ancient Umbrella!
