The Dust Settles; The Crystal Dragon Ant Is Finally Mine!
For the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant.
Levi has always maintained a go-with-the-flow attitude.
After all, he himself wasn't that far from reaching level six.
If we could have another level six combatant, that would be ideal.
If not, then we can't force it; our own lives are the most important thing.
As far as he knew, the Winged Tiger Barbarian King's strength was among the top of all the Barbarian King, and he was very likely at the mid-stage of level six.
The same applies to the Heaven Horn Barbarian King; he is not comparable to the Blood Feast Law King, the Thunderbolt King, or Luo Man.
The main reason he was able to snatch victory from a level six being twice was because of Senior Mana.
Mana's strength is only at the early stage of level six, although she is slightly stronger due to the power of the Divine Tree.
However, she herself could not move and could only attack from a distance within the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, thus her strength could not be fully unleashed.
so.
Trying to steal the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant while two mid-level level six players are right under their noses is extremely difficult.
Levi planned to let the Golden Silver Brothers observe the situation; if the risk was too great, they would give up.
He has already gained a great deal from this trip to the Ancient Tower, so there is no need for him to be greedy for anything more.
The Nine Cities Alliance and the Thunder God Hall serve as cautionary tales.
"I still have one spot left in my Scarlet Contract. Besides the Golden Silver Brothers, I can contract another one. This Heaven Horn Barbarian King seems to have a daughter who is also at the peak of Level 5. Perhaps I should think of a way to contract her as well. In this way, the Heaven Horn Barbarian King's most trusted subordinates and children will all be my people, making it much easier to carry out my plans."
Along the way.
Levi increasingly felt that the Scarlet Contract skill was truly too powerful.
His figure disappeared into the night, like a ghost.
Heaven Horn City.
As one of the largest cities in the Northern Territory, its magnificent form stands tall in the wilderness.
The city gates were tightly shut, and the giant city was surrounded by a protective shield similar to a magic array, which even a level 5 expert could not force his way through.
Inside the city, nearly twenty level-five auras rose into the sky like plumes of smoke.
Heaven Horn City displayed its formidable strength without hesitation to intimidate any potential enemies.
The City Lord's Hall.
The Heaven Horn Barbarian King paced back and forth, his face anxious.
Not long after.
Two figures, one in gold and one in silver, strode in with the steady steps of dragons and tigers; they were none other than the Golden Silver Brothers.
The Heaven Horn Barbarian King said coldly, "So? Are there any other Barbarian King willing to lend a hand?"
Golden Horn said:
"My lord, so far, only two Barbarian King are willing to lend a hand: the Heaven Jackal Barbarian King and the Hyena Barbarian King. The other Barbarian King are either unable to leave the front lines or have refused outright... The Heaven Jackal Barbarian King's price for lending a hand is the Winged Tiger Barbarian King's level six treasure, the Tiger Soul Overlord Blade, while the Hyena Barbarian King's price is the Winged Tiger Totem's Totem Spirit after its death. It can be said that they have divided up all the spoils of war."
Hearing that someone was willing to help, the Heaven Horn Barbarian King breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was filled with anger as he said, "Apart from the Sky Jackal and the Hyena, the other guys don't even understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.' If I lose, which of the remaining Barbarian King is enough to contend with the Winged Tiger? The Winged Tiger's goal is very clear: he wants to kill me, a tall guy in the mid-stage of level six... In this way, he can successfully unify the Barbarian tribes, and the others will either die or surrender!"
Golden Horn sighed, "Alas, these people don't realize the seriousness of the problem until they are about to die... However, with the help of the two Barbarian King, I believe that the Barbarian King will definitely be able to kill the winged tiger and protect the Ant Ancestor!"
The Heaven Horn Barbarian King sighed and said, "Investigate further and report back. Also, summon Isha to me."
"Yes, ma'am."
The Golden Silver Brothers quickly withdrew.
A woman of slender build, who appeared much more delicate than the average female barbarian, entered. Her skin had a pale blue sheen, was translucent, and she exuded a faint, chilling aura.
She is none other than Isha, the daughter of the Heaven Horn Barbarian King.
Isha asked:
"Father, what do you want to see me about?"
The Heaven Horn Barbarian King, "Go quickly to the North Sea, to the Extreme Ice Sea Plains, to find the [Iceberg Queen]. Go to her and borrow a level six rare treasure called the [Ice Sea Pearl]. After obtaining the treasure, come to see me immediately. This matter must be completed within half a month."
Isha asked:
"No problem... but Father, will the Iceberg Queen really lend it to us? What if she doesn't?"
The Heaven Horn Barbarian King, "She will lend it... You just need to go and ask for it."
Isha replied solemnly, "Yes, Father, I will definitely complete the mission perfectly!"
She strode away, using her concealment technique to hide her presence, and after leaving the city, she quickly headed towards the North Sea.
On the city wall, the Golden Silver Brothers watched Isha leave, their expressions unchanged.
The Heaven Horn Tribe was not far from the North Sea, Isha was able to make it in time if she traveled at full speed.
Although her father didn't say it explicitly, she could vaguely guess that he was using this level-six treasure to prepare for the Ant Ancestor's molting.
Every time the Ant Ancestor molted, my father would be extremely nervous, but thanks to his great strength, he always managed to get through it safely.
But this time was different from the past; Ai Ou was facing its most chaotic moment in history.
A series of events, including imperial turmoil and uprisings by outsiders, were intertwined.
Most critically, according to some information, the Winged Tiger Barbarian King has shown his claws and is finally going to make a move against their Heaven Horn Tribe.
This Barbarian King has always been a worry for my father. Perhaps this is a good opportunity for my father to get rid of the Winged Tiger Barbarian King.
After Isha left, the Heaven Horn Barbarian King sat alone on his throne, desolate and filled with murderous intent.
"Winged Tiger, if you dare to come this time, I will make sure you don't leave alive."
The Iceberg Queen was a Level 6 being he met three hundred years ago when he traveled to the North Sea.
Her origins are mysterious; she is neither a barbarian, a demon, nor a stranger.
When they first met, the Iceberg Queen was seriously injured and attacked by the Dark Beast Lord, but he saved her.
Afterwards, the two gradually became acquainted, their relationship warmed up, they had a relationship, and later their daughter was born.
That is, Isha.
However, the Iceberg Queen had no intention of getting involved in the conflicts on the Ai Ou Continent, and Isha was raised by the Heaven Horn Barbarian King.
The Iceberg Queen possesses a treasure that forms a small, self-contained icy sea space, where she usually lives in seclusion, detached from worldly affairs.
He planned to send the Ant Ancestor, which was about to molt, into the ant and secretly have Isha take it out of the city.
At the same time, they also need to create the illusion that the Ant Ancestor and themselves are both in Heaven Horn City, so as to lure the enemy here.
At that time, he will join forces with the two Barbarian King, Sky Jackal and Hyena, to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop.
Heaven Horn City is located ten thousand miles to the north.
Isha was in a hurry.
Suddenly, a crack appeared around him.
Her expression changed, and before she could react, she was sucked in.
In the void.
The Hermit Rune flickered, and Levi's figure appeared.
"My combo of stealth, absorbing, and ganging up has become increasingly refined."
He muttered to himself, found a safe place, and entered the Holy Grail himself.
The Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon Prison.
The three evil forces— Nicholas God Model, Black Lotus Beast, and Vampire Dragon —had already bound the seemingly weak and delicate Isha tightly, awaiting Levi's judgment.
The Vampire Dragon let out a sinister, grotesque laugh, though it's unclear who it learned that from.
With the combined strength of the "Three Heavenly Kings," suppressing any enemy below the Origin Soul would be a piece of cake.
Isha had never witnessed such a scene before. She tried to contact her father, the Barbarian King, but found that the means of communication were not responding at all.
Where is this?
Isha looked flustered and questioned him.
Boom! A heavy, Black Armor Swordsman's figure crashed to the ground, cracking the earth and sending dust flying.
He raised his head, his calm, unwavering gaze sweeping over Isha.
Isha retorted angrily, "I am the daughter of the Heaven Horn Barbarian King! What do you wicked people want to do to me?"
Although she didn't pay much attention to outsiders, she understood that these methods were definitely not those of barbarians.
Levi chuckled and said, "Looks like I didn't arrest the wrong person."
Isha asked:
"You're a guest of honor of the Winged Tiger Barbarian King? He sent you to kill me, didn't he?"
Levi completely ignored her. He reached out and placed his palm on Isha's chest, causing Isha to blush.
"You shameless scoundrel, if you have the guts, kill me! Why insult my... master!"
Before Isha could finish her tirade, the Scarlet Dragon Mark appeared, and she immediately changed her address to "master."
Levi asked seriously:
"What does the Heaven Horn Barbarian King want with you? What is the current situation of the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant? Tell me everything."
Isha said, "My father sent me to the North Sea to find the Iceberg Queen and request a treasure called the Ice Sea Pearl..."
After she finished speaking in detail, Levi looked thoughtful.
"I never expected that the North Sea would hide such a reclusive master. This place, Ai Ou, is full of hidden talents. Besides the three native natives, there are many other level-six beings such as the Deer Head Sage and the Iceberg Queen. However, they are all elusive and rarely seen."
Levi asked:
What are Ice Sea Pearl? What are they used for?
Isha said, "Master, I don't know either. I just did what my father said... I guess it might be to help the Ant Ancestor molt smoothly. The Ant Ancestor is of the Frost attribute, and this Ice Sea Pearl seems to be the same."
Levi nodded. Although he didn't know what the Heaven Horn Barbarian King planned to do, with Isha as the mole, he would find out sooner or later.
Levi did not delay Isha's actions; he released her.
"Report your progress to me regularly," Levi said.
Isha said:
"Yes, Master."
After saying that, she transformed into a ray of light and headed towards the North Sea.
Levi hid in the wilderness Heaven Horn City, cultivating while relying on the Golden Silver Brothers to continue observing the development of the situation.
Several days later.
In the secluded training ground, Levi opened his eyes and accessed the Proficiency Panel.
Levi ——————
Death Ember Dragon Breathing Technique: Level 16 (Limit, can be evolved/advanced)...
"The Death Ember Dragon has reached its limit, but now is clearly not the time to refine it..."
Levi closed the panel and continued practicing other Breathing Technique.
His Death Ember Dragon Secret Medicine is ready, but he can only go into seclusion after he finishes dealing with the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant.
According to his estimate, the final battle for Chaos City would begin around the time his seclusion ended.
That would be the most epic battle on the Ai Ou Continent, with dozens of level six warriors gathering in Chaos City to fight against the Supreme Law God. Just thinking about it is thrilling.
However, Levi was unsure whether the Ancient Tower could remain open until then.
If possible, and provided it is safe to do so, observing the battle from a distance through the Scarlet Contract is certainly not out of the question.
He was extremely envious of the Deer Head Sage's physique.
"Speaking of which, someone who can become Origin Soul powerhouse with the body of a rare object... must at least be at the Morning Star, and maybe even the Bright Moon level, although the probability is not high."
Bright Moon- level artifact is a treasure that even Primal Soul Wizard would covet, so Levi dared not have too high expectations.
North Sea.
On the ice field.
Following her father's instructions, Isha successfully found the Iceberg Queen.
She sat alone on the ice, fishing by the sea like an ordinary person...
The Iceberg Queen looked at Isha and asked, "Did your father send you?"
Isha nodded obediently and said, "Senior, my father asked me to borrow your [Ice Sea Pearl] for a moment..."
With a flick of her fishing rod, the Iceberg Queen unleashed a massive, level-five fish, a hundred meters long and radiating an imposing aura, leaping out of the water. The fish opened its gaping maw and lunged to devour her.
The Iceberg Queen emerged from beneath her sleeves a fist as smooth as jade, covered with layers of ice crystals.
Boom! She threw a punch, and the giant fish was instantly frozen, unable to move.
She held a crystal-blue bead in her hand, within which a blue ocean and miniature icebergs could be vaguely seen.
This is the Ice Sea Pearl, also the Iceberg Queen's... hometown.
The Ice Sea Plane.
This plane was originally a small plane, but thanks to the efforts of the Ice Crystal Race, it was finally upgraded and barely reached the standard of a medium-sized plane. As the Plane Dominator, she also successfully advanced to level six.
Who would have thought that before they could even enjoy their good days, their beautiful dream was shattered by a Level 6 evil being passing by.
She fought hard to protect her homeland, and the battle between the two left the fragile Ice Sea Plane devastated.
The Iceberg Queen had just advanced to level six, was no match for the invaders. At the critical moment, an Ancient Tower that spanned the Darkness Zone descended.
She, the invaders, and the Ice Sea Plane were all pulled into it by a huge suction force.
When she awoke, the evil being was dead on the spot, and she was also seriously injured. A fragment of the Ice Sea Plane, along with its plane's will, inexplicably became the Level 6 treasure [Ice Sea Pearl] in her hands.
Inside this bead is a shattered plane on the verge of death, its boundaries constantly collapsing.
As the Plane Dominator, she could sense that the will of the plane was also weakening.
No matter how hard the Iceberg Queen tried, she was powerless to change the situation.
The advantage of the path of Plane Dominator is that it grants a long lifespan and makes it relatively easier to break through realms.
The price is that the Plane Dominator will be completely bound to the plane, sharing both prosperity and ruin.
In fact, for many weak planes and powerful alien races, apart from becoming the Plane Dominator, they do not have a superior path to transcendence like that of a wizard.
Therefore, the moment the plane completely perishes will also be the moment of her demise.
Judging from the current state of the Ice Sea Pearl, she will perish along with Ice Sea Pearl in at most two hundred years.
This secret was known only to her.
So when she heard that Isha wanted to borrow the Ice Sea Pearl, the Iceberg Queen hesitated.
After a moment, she suddenly felt relieved, and then sighed, "Take it... My life was given to me by your father. Keep this as a keepsake."
Isha didn't know that the Iceberg Queen was her mother, but hearing these sad words, she felt inexplicably sad.
"Thank you, senior. We'll return it when we're done!"
Isha hadn't expected the trip to go so smoothly, so she quickly left and flew towards Heaven Horn City.
The Iceberg Queen's eyes held a complex expression.
Isha, this child who is half ice crystal and half barbarian, may be the last Ice Crystal Race in the multiverse.
On the wilderness.
Levi learned that Isha had successfully obtained the [Ice Sea Pearl] and was on her way to Heaven Horn City.
"So smoothly... Is this Ice Sea Queen really that easy to talk to?"
He murmured.
"Regardless of the circumstances, let's see how each side makes their move."
Heaven Horn City.
Beneath the city walls, a thousand feet underground.
Suddenly, a bright and spacious area appeared, resembling a temple square.
In the center, there is a giant blue ant, a hundred meters long, with dragon horns on its head.
A chilling aura emanated from the giant ant, its breath turning the area into an underground ice cave.
This is a stronghold of the barbarians; only the Heaven Horn Barbarian King can enter.
And today, Isha also came to this place.
The giant ant's breathing gradually stopped, and finally it fell silent, as if it had died.
Isha asked in confusion:
"Father... isn't the Ant Ancestor still ten days away from molting?"
The Heaven Horn Barbarian King gently stroked the Ant Ancestor's dragon horn and said sadly, "Isha, that was a smokescreen my father released. I was worried that the people around me had been bribed by the Winged Tiger Barbarian King, so I deliberately used false information to test them... Sure enough, there is indeed a traitor in our Heaven Horn Tribe."
In fact, the Ant Ancestor is about to molt today. I sent you to retrieve the Ice Sea Pearl so that I could secretly take the Ant Ancestor away. I need you to find the Iceberg Queen. Our Heaven Horn Tribe and the Winged Tiger Tribe are bound to have a life-or-death battle.
Between me and the Winged Tiger Barbarian King, only one of us can live in this world; it's either him or me who dies...
Although you possess peak level five strength, you are still far from being Barbarian King. If I die, even the Winged Tiger Barbarian King will not spare you.
Isha's expression changed, and she said, "Father, you won't die! You are the mighty Heaven Horn Barbarian King..."
The Heaven Horn Barbarian King, "Take the Ant Ancestor and stay away from the strife for now. It would be best to go find the Iceberg Queen... because she is your mother."
Isha's expression was complicated.
The Heaven Horn Barbarian King smiled bitterly, "You weren't picked up by your father. The reason you were born with a weak constitution, unlike other barbarians, is not a curse... but because you are only half a barbarian. You'll understand the rest after you find your mother."
Isha's eyes welled up with tears, and she said:
"Father, why don't you go with the Ant Ancestor? Why don't we leave the Northern Territory and fly far away?"
The Heaven Horn Barbarian King grabbed Isha's hand, then gently pricked her fingertip, dripping blood onto the Ice Sea Pearl.
"This thing can only be used by your mother and you. Now, try to open the bead and put away the Ant Ancestor."
Isha asked:
"Father, you still haven't answered me..."
The Heaven Horn Barbarian King suddenly burst into laughter, his voice shaking the underground palace.
"Isha, every barbarian man, no matter who he is, is a brave and valiant hero with flesh and blood. My father is one, and so is the Winged Tiger Barbarian King ... I can't keep hiding from the Winged Tiger Barbarian King with my people forever. Besides, I have already made preparations for this battle. Who will win and who will die is not certain."
"There's no time to lose, you must leave quickly. If you hear of my death, don't come back. Take Ant Ancestor and your mother, and go into seclusion in the North Sea... If that Winged Tiger Barbarian King truly has the ability to lead the barbarians out of this shackles of heaven and earth, that would be a good thing."
Isha, with mixed feelings and slightly red eyes, drove the Ice Sea Pearl.
A crack emanating a chilling aura appeared, sucking away the motionless Ant Ancestor.
With a sorrowful look in her eyes and tears streaming down her face, she said, "The Spirit of Azure Sky will protect you, Father."
After saying that, Isha turned around and left without looking back.
In the square, only the Heaven Horn Barbarian King remained. He sighed, left the place, and reappeared on the city wall.
He placed a long spear that radiated a precious light to the side, closed his eyes, and stood waiting for the storm to arrive.
The heavens and earth trembled uncontrollably under this oppressive atmosphere.
Leave Heaven Horn City.
Isha quickly disappeared into the wilderness, until she was tens of thousands of miles away.
She arrived at a valley and saw a black-armored figure flying swiftly and rapidly, as fast as lightning—it was Levi.
He was like a nimble eagle, transforming into a blue phantom.
In the sky, there seemed to be hundreds of Levi Weiying clones.
Finally, countless phantoms converged and surged into Levi's body.
He swept his greatsword horizontally, and a streak of azure sword energy emitted a clear eagle cry, traversing the continuous mountain range and turning everything in its path into dust, stretching for several miles.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Levi stopped training. While waiting, he had already refined the "Divine Eagle Canon" to the Fifth Layer and had a basic grasp of "Eagle Skims the Seas".
This move is extremely powerful. It relies on the speed of movement to create countless illusions before unleashing a devastating attack.
Isha knelt on the ground, waiting for Levi to finish practicing his swordplay. She then held up a bead, bowed her head, and said:
"Master, the Ant Ancestor is in the Ice Sea Pearl."
Levi smiled as he accepted the ice-blue bead, within which a tiny ant could be faintly seen sleeping.
He sighed deeply in his heart:
"Ah, Brother Barbarian King, I'm sorry. I will take good care of your wife and daughters from now on..."
He opened a spatial rift and took Isha into his possession. Then, with a ripple of his hand, he tore open the Scarlet Darkside, stepped into it, and vanished.
Without lifting a finger or taking any risk, the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant were obtained...
This made Levi feel as if he were in a hallucination, an extremely unreal experience.
Before leaving the Ancient Tower, my last concerns were fulfilled.
What happened next was left to chance.
As for the storm that was about to hit the Northern Territory, it was no longer his concern.
Two weeks later.
The Winged Tiger Barbarian King, accompanied by the Tiger Ancestor, descended upon Heaven Horn City.
The Heaven Horn Barbarian King, single-handedly holding the pass, said:
"You still came."
Winged Tiger Barbarian King laughed:
"Tianjiao, why don't you join my ranks? Let's storm Chaos City together and shatter this world."
The Heaven Horn Barbarian King shook his head. "Don't try that trick anymore. Ever since you advanced to the mid- Sixth Order, your determination to kill me has been unwavering."
The Winged Tiger Barbarian King roared to the sky, and his tiger-headed greatsword slammed down! "Hahaha, then let's fight!"
"Roar!"
Tiger Ancestor roared, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to tremble, sweeping everything away with the force of a raging wind.
The Heaven Horn Barbarian King of the Skyhorn looked around and said loudly:
"Sky Jackal, Hyena... Let's make our move."
In the void, two more level-six auras appeared, hovering in the air.
However, the jackals and hyenas were attacking the Heaven Horn Barbarian King...
The Heaven Horn Barbarian King's expression changed drastically. He brandished his spear, struggling to maintain his balance, and questioned, "What do you two mean by this?"
The Heaven Jackal Barbarian King, "Heavenly Horn, times have changed. An old stubborn like you will only hinder the development of the barbarian tribe."
The Hyena Barbarian King, "I'm sorry... we broke our promise."
With a single slash, the Winged Tiger Barbarian King unleashed a roar that echoed through the mountains and forests, tearing open the void.
Although the Heaven Horn Barbarian King was powerful, he was ultimately no match for four opponents.
Not long after the battle began, they had already fallen to the bottom.
After several dozen rounds, he was slashed to the ground by the Winged Tiger Barbarian King, his face weak and covered in wounds.
The Winged Tiger Barbarian King asked sternly, "Where is the Ant Ancestor hiding?"
The Heaven Horn Barbarian King remained silent. He grabbed his spear again and thrust it forward, but was cleaved in two by the Tiger Head Greatsword, his entire body split open.
The vitality of the Heaven Horn Barbarian King was incredibly strong; he was not dead, and a faint, illusory spirit could be seen watching the three men and one tiger surrounding him.
"You'll never know where the Ant Ancestor is, hahahaha..."
After he finished speaking, the spirit of the Heaven Horn Barbarian King disintegrated and vanished into the world.
"Well..."
Tiger Ancestor suddenly sighed.
The Winged Tiger Barbarian King said coldly, "Search Heaven Horn City."
The Heaven Jackal Barbarian King and the Hyena Barbarian King, who had already become subordinates of the Winged Tiger Barbarian King, immediately began their search.
Finally, they found an empty ice cave with faint traces of a level six aura.
"Damn it! The Ant Ancestor has already been moved away by Tianjiao."
From then on.
The whereabouts of the Ant Ancestor became a mystery, and along with him disappeared Isha, the daughter of the Heaven Horn Barbarian King.
North Sea.
The fishing rod in the Iceberg Queen's hand suddenly trembled and then shattered.
Her expression changed, and she looked incredulous.
"How did he die...? What about Isha?"
To save time on the journey, Levi did not go to Dragon Palace Island.
He then thought of another Land of Peach Blossoms... that is, the underground world.
There, apart from a group of adorable black beasts, there were no other humans, so he could cultivate in peace and wait for the Ancient Tower to be completed.
Arriving at the Northern Territory Great Rift Valley, one enters the underground world.
Last time, Levi hunted down countless black beasts here.
After many years, the black beast population here seems to have recovered somewhat.
As he went deeper, that feeling of danger began to linger again.
The underworld harbors powerful Dark Beast Lord, and the level-six lightning-type giant clam mentioned by the Shell Fairy Matriarch may be one of them.
He didn't venture any further, but found a secluded spot to settle down and entered the fairyland.
The 24 mountains of flesh and blood have been distributed into hundreds of different Storage Ring. This is all thanks to the Holy Infant.
Levi tried to open the Ice Sea Pearl within the Fairy Realm, but found that he couldn't.
Seeing this, Isha quickly said:
"Only my mother and I can open this bead... Master."
She took the Ice Sea Pearl, opened it, and cold air emerged from the spatial rift.
Upon seeing this, Mana floated down from the banyan tree and said with interest, "Interesting... This treasure actually contains a shattered plane that is about to die, and its size is much larger than the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm that I am nurturing within me."
The Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm is merely a plane embryo or prototype, not even a small plane.
The Ice Sea Plane, however, is a plane born from the Darkness Zone, and after a long period of time, it has been upgraded to a medium-sized plane.
However, the Ice Sea Pearl only contains a fragment of a plane containing the will of that plane; it is incomplete.
The other fragments had already become part of the Confluence Land when they were drawn into the Ancient Tower.
Levi felt a surge of passion.
"It's such a rare treasure... By the way, senior, could you absorb the dimensional fragments within this treasure? Would it be of any benefit to you?"
Mana said, "Theoretically, I can integrate this plane fragment into the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm and make it a part of me. This will accelerate the expansion of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm and allow it to be upgraded into a small plane more quickly."
My fate and the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm are intertwined. After its upgrade, it can also give back some of its power to me, and my strength may be able to break through to the mid-stage of level six.
However, I cannot absorb this plane fragment right now because the will of this plane is owned. In other words, this inconspicuous broken plane also has a Plane Dominator.
Only with the consent of the Plane Dominator, or by killing the plane directly and leaving it without a master, can I absorb it. Otherwise, the plane will be directly destroyed and become a desolate plane, rendering absorption useless.
Levi suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Isha.
Isha asked doubtfully, "My father said that my mother was not a barbarian... but Ice Crystal Race. Could it be that my mother is the Plane Dominator?"
Levi had never heard of the Ice Crystal Race. There were countless weak races in the multiverse, and what was recorded in the wizarding knowledge was only the tip of the iceberg.
Levi asked Mana, "Senior, if this plane dies, then Isha, the Plane Dominator, will also die, right?"
He remembered that the Hundred Flower Knight had explained things to him.
The path to Plane Dominator may seem like a shortcut, and it can easily grant immortality, but the price is being trapped within a plane, like a canary in a cage, slowly being boiled like a frog in water... Once the plane encounters a calamity from the Darkness Zone, it will perish along with it.
This path is an inferior one for wizards.
The sun and moon decay, but I am immortal; heaven and earth perish, but I am Undying. Transcending everything is the true supreme way! This is also the true "way of truth" or "way of immortality" that Levi pursued.
Mana nodded.
"That's true, but there are some exceptions, though they are extremely rare..."
Levi then asked, "If you absorb this shattered plane, will Isha's mother still be able to survive?"
Mana said, "Not necessarily... However, I can transform this shattered plane into a secret realm of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, making it a subordinate secondary plane of the Immortal Realm. In this way, the will of the shattered plane will be extinguished, and replaced by a wisp of my will. Then Isha's mother can become the master of the secret realm and the Plane Dominator of the Great Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm... Of course, the price is that she will also lose her freedom, become a vassal of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, and be bound by me from then on."
Upon hearing this, Levi seemed to be deep in thought.
Isha asked, "Senior Mana, I'd like to ask, approximately how long until this plane completely dies out?"
Mana said, "It could be as short as a hundred years, or as long as two hundred years. It's a long time for mortals, but for this plane, it's the moment before death... In other words, Isha's mother will die within two hundred years. By the way, Levi, are you planning to save her?"
Isha looked at Levi.
As Scarlet Servant, she respects and obeys all her master's decisions.
However, because of the lingering affection in her blood, she also hoped that her master could save her mother.
Levi thought for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "I would like to save her... but with my strength, it would be too dangerous for me to contact and communicate with her."
Mana said, "This time I can offer to help you... You just want me to do it, right?"
Levi chuckled and said:
"If you're willing to help me, that's no problem. We can't beat her anyway, so we'll just run away."
After all, Mana had already helped him several times, and he really couldn't bring himself to ask Mana to help him again.
However, he had already guessed that, given Mana's kindness, she would most likely take the initiative to help.
Mana said, "Judging from the situation of the shattered plane's will, Isha's mother's strength should be at the initial level six. I am confident that I can control the situation, so you don't need to worry, Levi."
Isha was overjoyed:
"Thank you, Master! Mana, Senior Mana!"
If a mother entrusts something so important to her own life to her son, it means she has already resolved to die.
However, before setting off for the North Sea, Levi had more important things to do.
He instructed Isha to release the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant from the Ice Sea Pearl.
The giant ant seemed dead, silent, its heart beating extremely weakly.
Levi summoned the Ice Phoenix.
Upon seeing the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant, the Ice Phoenix was visibly agitated, her breathing rapid, and she exclaimed in disbelief:
"Master, you... you really did it? You managed to steal the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant from under the Barbarian King's command!"
Her chest heaved in shock.
For her, this was an impossible task.
She had been too naive. If things had proceeded normally, with her current strength, she wouldn't have been able to even get close to the Dragon Ant Dragon Ant, let alone contract one.
"This... isn't this Isha?"
Upon seeing Isha, the Ice Phoenix finally understood. With Levi's terrifying contractual abilities, this matter was indeed possible to accomplish.
Levi asked:
"Generally speaking, how long does the molting and dormancy period of the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant take?"
Isha said, "That's not necessarily true. The molting of the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant can be divided into minor molting, major molting, and complete molting..."
The minor molting process lasts about a year, after which the user's strength increases slightly.
The great transformation takes three years. After the transformation is complete, there will be a minor improvement in one's realm.
However, if it's a complete transformation from the Sixth Ring to the seventh ring, then it would take at least ten years.
Judging from the Dragon Ant's strength, it couldn't have fully molted, so I estimate it will take at least one year, and at most three years.
Levi breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, I have at least a year to try... I might as well try the Scarlet Contract directly, whether it succeeds or not, I'll leave it to fate."
The Scarlet Contract theoretically has no level restrictions; Levi had previously contracted with Solett, whose realm was higher than his own.
However, he was unsure whether the Scarlet Contract could succeed, given the insurmountable barrier of the Origin Soul.
He now has a total of six contract slots, but the Golden Silver Brothers died in the Battle of Heaven Horn City. This frees up two contract slots.
He dismissed the Ice Phoenix and stared at the hundred-meter-long giant ant before him.
Its body surface is covered with a shell that resembles ice crystals, and its thick limbs are like pillars supporting the sky. Although it is asleep, the level six power it unintentionally exudes still makes Levi's expression solemn.
"Come on, if we can't succeed, then after leaving the Ancient Tower, we'll leave it in a secret realm and subdue it when I'm strong enough."
With Mana by his side, Levi mustered his courage and approached the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant, extending his palm.
Then, the Scarlet Dragon Power transformed into a long, slender, crimson dragon, which tried to burrow into the Dragon Ant's head.
The next moment.
A faint blue light easily blocked the Scarlet Dragon Power.
Levi knew something was wrong.
He knew that even if this Level 6 being was fast asleep and unconscious, he could not easily shake it.
At that very moment.
Green branches cascaded down from the sky, emitting a soft green light and filling the air with fragrance.
The green light and the blue light of the Dragon Ant clashed.
At this moment, the Dragon Ant did not wake up; it was merely resisting instinctively, like muscle memory.
However, the sleeping Dragon Ant was clearly no match for Mana.
Before long, the green light broke through the Dragon Ant Dragon Ant ' blue light protection and enveloped them.
Taking this opportunity, Levi unleashed the Scarlet Dragon Power, which seeped into the Dragon Ant's body and burrowed into its head.
A vague sense of awareness instinctively began to resist.
Feeling the pressure, Levi hardened his heart, and six majestic dragon phantoms appeared in the sky behind him amidst roars.
The sky and earth changed color, and Isha trembled all over.
"These are... dragons, so many dragons? Just who is our master?"
Legend has it that in the ancestral lands of the barbarian tribes, as passed down through generations, there were tribes that used dragons as their totem beasts; these tribes were known as the "Dragon Tribes." Each one was a colossal force, with countless Barbarian King- level powerhouses within their ranks! This was accompanied by a loud shout.
The powerful Dragon Might was compressed together by Levi and imprinted on his nascent consciousness along with the Scarlet Dragon Power.
Immediately afterwards, the force of resistance was swept away by the Dragon Might's might and began to recede like a tide.
The Scarlet Dragon Power rapidly formed Scarlet Dragon Mark within his body.
Levi's forehead was covered in sweat. He exhaled and stared at the fleeting mark on the forehead of the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant.
He stroked the horn of the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant and murmured softly, "Sleep now, and perhaps when you wake up, you will already be in a new world..."
As the feeling of connection and control from the Scarlet Contract began to emanate from him.
Levi knew that the Scarlet Contract had not disappointed him... The Scarlet Dragon, an eternal god! Compared to the Red Emperor Dragon, which could break all laws with its strength, the Scarlet Dragon was even more vicious and cunning.
The Scarlet Contract is truly the most powerful technique in the Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique. From the time Andrew until now, this pact has rendered countless services to Levi.
Because of the Holy Grail, he and Mana had a close partnership, and he couldn't really command Mana.
Levi had always relied on Mana's helpfulness to get her to do things for him. Now things are different; he's the boss of the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant.
Before reaching level six, with the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant protecting him, his cultivation path will be much safer.
He also possessed a sliver of power to influence the higher levels of the Wizard World.
Seeing the excited Levi, Mana couldn't help but say:
"Are we about to leave this place?"
Levi said, "Yes, it won't be long before you see the vast world outside the Ancient Tower and the infinite wonders of the multiverse. We will witness it together."
Mana said, "That's great."
After subduing the Dragon Ant, Levi allowed her to sleep under the ancient banyan tree. With Senior Mana watching over her, he felt even more at ease. It was his first time contracting a level six being; he couldn't be too careful.
The battle with the Dragon Ant at the consciousness level had taken a heavy toll on Levi. After resting for several days in the underground world and recovering to his peak condition, he headed to the North Sea.
