Seven Transformations of Blood Source, Palace of Flesh!
Ancient Dragon Continent.
The open sea.
Levi opened his eyes.
Within the inner world, the Crimson Emperor Palace is undergoing a cataclysmic transformation, constantly growing and expanding. The Crimson Emperor Dragon Seed, meanwhile, remains dormant within a giant crimson egg.
Levi's power was growing continuously. The blood and qi within his body surged, collided, overflowed, and burst forth, transforming into crimson flames that were swept into the sky by the sea breeze! Levi constantly shifted between human form and Red Emperor Dragon form, flashing like a slideshow.
His body swelled up like an inflatable balloon, reaching hundreds of meters in height, standing like a mountain on the island.
"Having just advanced, I can't yet control this power freely. I should first find a way to overcome this calamity. Advancing to the seventh level requires going through tribulations. Creating this heaven-defying Breathing Technique comes at a price."
Just like a wizard advancing to the seventh ring, an ordinary Knight does not need such a tribulation to advance to the seventh level; only those who create their own system, like Levi, need to undergo this ordeal.
He raised his head and looked up at the sky, at the Scarlet Dragon with a wingspan of a thousand meters, its eyes deep, meeting Levi's gaze.
"Come forth, Red Lotus Dragon!"
The giant Levi's leg muscles exploded, propelling him into the air. The soaring energy rippled outwards, sweeping across the island and spreading outwards.
In the distance, the protective shield of the Summer Flower Tower lit up, gently blocking the shockwave. Hundred Flowers looked at Levi, a hint of worry in her heart.
She wouldn't be worried at all if Levi advanced to the seventh ring, since the path of the wizard was readily available, and Levi possessed an monstrous Infinite Primal Soul.
But at Knight Level 7, the road ahead is full of unknowns, and no one knows what will happen next.
"Keep it up!"
High in the sky, the giant Levi unleashed a punch, and a white shockwave mixed with flames transformed into a channel that swept away the enemy!
The Red Lotus Dragon flapped its wings, and Red Lotus -shaped flames emerged from the void, appearing slowly but instantly in front of Levi!
Boom! The Red Lotus exploded, turning into a mushroom cloud of karmic fire!
Everything within the blast radius was instantly annihilated!
Even with Levi's basic defense enhanced by the Golden Radiance Dragon at the peak of level six, it was blasted into a bloody mess, charred black! Hundred Flowers's eyes widened in alarm.
"Why does this tribulation of advancing from level six to level seven seem to be relatively more difficult than advancing from level five to level six?"
The next moment.
The Death Ember Dragon's powerful healing ability repaired Levi's physical body.
The Red Lotus Dragon, struck by Levi's fist, was also in bad shape, tumbling in mid-air with its scales falling off with a rustling sound, and it barely managed to steady itself.
The two colossal beings fought head-on without dodging or flinching.
In fact, in this level of combat, ordinary dodging is meaningless.
On the one hand, it's unavoidable; on the other hand, it might cause a missed opportunity to strike.
Levi also realized that the seventh-level calamity was a little more difficult than he had imagined.
The growth of an extraordinary being becomes increasingly difficult as they progress; one wrong step can lead to an Abyss from which there is no return!
As a mythical being that once truly existed, how could the Red Lotus Dragon be weak?
Even though they descend from across countless ages in some form of projection, we cannot let our guard down.
Boom! Another violent collision occurred, Red Dragon Ironcleaver Slash pierced the Red Lotus Dragon's chest with unstoppable force!
Blood, flowing like magma, turned into flames.
Boom! An even more intense Wind of the Sun swept around the Red Lotus Dragon! Levi's body was rapidly carbonized, shattered, and turned into ashes, exposing his flesh and bones.
"With all my life's insights and six hundred years of effort, the War King's Compendium! The King is Supreme!"
Courage, domineering spirit, and rage— the Human Aura! The aura of the sun, moon, and stars—the aura of three great heavens!
The six elements combine to form the aura of a war king who is invincible, unstoppable, and domineering over heaven and earth!
Roar! A fearless and murderous phantom of a giant badger roared behind Levi!
This is the Ninth Layer the War King's Compendium, [The King is Supreme], which is the ultimate secret of this combat skill! All along, Levi has always been a little short of completely mastering "The King is Supreme".
Today, in the ultimate battle against the Red Lotus Dragon, I finally mastered it and reached its peak!
His flesh and blood rapidly recovered to their original state, and an overwhelming aura erupted! Sizzle!
A towering crimson beam of light cleaved the Red Lotus Dragon in two from top to bottom.
The Red Lotus Dragon's calm gaze dimmed, then transformed into a sky full of fire elemental power and vanished without a trace.
The other Lord of Blood Tribulation appeared one by one, only to crumble under Levi's domineering and unparalleled sword light.
After dealing with these issues, Levi, panting, quickly regained his strength.
There is another Darkness Tribulation that he needs to overcome. The form of this tribulation is completely random, and no one can predict it. He can only wait and remain steadfast in the face of change.
"If I want to create something from nothing and create a new and powerful bloodline, the intensity of the tribulations in the future may become stronger and stronger. If I had not cultivated the Breathing Technique of the other five dimensions at the same time, even if the Red Emperor Dragon was strong, there would still be a risk of being killed by the Darkness Zone."
The stronger the Red Emperor Dragon becomes, the stronger the power of the Lord of Blood Tribulation that this world gathers will be.
In short, it's aimed at Levi.
Seeing that Levi had safely survived the Blood Tribulation, Hundred Flowers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If it were her, she would probably have to use all her strength, including magical artifacts and rare treasures, to defeat that terrifying Scarlet Dragon phantom.
Levi can win completely with just divine weapons, combat skills, and physical strength. He is still that abnormal, freakish genius!
Before Levi could even rest for a moment, the power of fire element began to converge towards the Firmament once again.
A huge eyeball, about a mile in diameter, appeared in the void. As the eye opened a crack, it revealed a pupil devoid of any emotion!
Rumble! The flames within a hundred miles began to stir and churn.
The entire island, under the intense heat, instantly turned into lava, engulfing Levi.
Even with Levi's Crimson Emperor Dragon Body's resistance to fire elements, he still felt the unbearable high temperature.
"Is this the Darkness Tribulation?"
His body was enveloped in surging blood energy, forging crimson armor. He Red Dragon Ironcleaver Slayer in his palm, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"Perfect timing! I wasn't done having fun yet. Come on, let me see what kind of antics they have this time!"
This Darkness Tribulation brought Levi a sense of danger far greater than the previous minor skirmishes; it was even more dangerous than the appearance of the Red Lotus Dragon just now.
His crimson eyes looked at Levi.
A chilling sensation ran down Levi's spine! Boom! He was struck as if by a heavy blow, his entire body flying backwards across the sea for hundreds of miles! He stared calmly at his pierced chest.
Where they had just stood, a fiery figure, whose face was obscured but resembled Levi's, stood silently.
"Is this calamity a reflection of myself?"
Levi had a sudden realization.
This figure was composed of pure flames, without flesh and blood, like an incarnation of fire.
His chest had a large hole, but it healed completely. For someone with Undying Body like him, it was nothing more than a minor injury.
Boom! Levi wielded the Red Dragon Ironcleaver.
The fiery figure held a long sword formed from condensed flames!
Swords flashed and clashed, the sound of metal ringing out!
"Interesting. This fiery form seems to have mastered combat techniques as well."
Levi pondered for a moment, then suddenly leaped up as the figure attacked again! "The King is Supreme!"
The domineering giant sword slashed down! The fiery figure's longsword was shattered, and its body was sent flying by Levi, cut in half at the waist.
The next moment.
The fiery figure silently snapped its fingers and returned to normal.
Levi's expression was solemn. He looked at the emotionless crimson eye in the sky, which was embedded in the hundred-mile Sea of Fire, like a god.
Levi slashed through the crimson flame figure that attacked again with his sword, and then he shot out, unleashing a terrifying sword aura that transformed into a crimson pillar of light that shot straight into the sky!
This sword strike will sever those eyeballs!
Levi felt that the key to this battle lay here! Those crimson eyes silently watched Levi slash towards them, and then an invisible wave of intense heat rippled out!
The crimson beam of light shattered before it even got close, eventually disappearing like a clay ox sinking into the sea.
Levi's expression changed slightly.
Behind him, the crimson figure attacked again, plunging its longsword into Levi's heart. With a sudden flick, Levi was split in two!
Levi's figure reappeared in the blood mist.
"This can't go on. Once my Death Ember Dragon Power is exhausted, even Undying and Indestructible won't save me. This time, the Darkness Zone is serious."
The crimson figure attacked again, and Levi blocked it with his greatsword. Then, he unleashed his immense strength, and under the Whale Emperor Power Canon, his body swelled up once more!
Boom! The crimson figure was blasted away.
Levi instantly flashed behind it and threw a punch! The force of the punch exploded!
The crimson figure was instantly transformed into a sky full of flames, shattered by immense force.
Then it gathered together again, but Levi could sense that its momentum had weakened.
"It seems that its immortality has its limits."
Levi immediately went all out; he had to eliminate this mirror image that resembled him first.
If the disappearance of the mirror image still doesn't solve the problem of the red eyeball, then we'll have to think of other solutions.
Outside the battlefield, Hundred Flowers kept a close eye on the situation without blinking.
"What are these crimson eyes? Are they a manifestation of some kind of rule or will?"
She was puzzled.
As far as she knew, every wizard would experience different tribulations upon ascending to the Great Wizard. One type of tribulation involved encountering monsters that were the materialized manifestations of the elemental rules of their faction, known as the "Elemental Calamities."
Levi's situation is somewhat similar, but the two should still be fundamentally different.
Boom! After another dull sword strike, the crimson figure was once again destroyed and killed. In terms of raw strength, it was still far inferior to Levi.
Even if it mirrored and replicated Levi's Red Emperor Dragon abilities, it would be of no use, because Levi also possessed the defense of the Golden Radiance Dragon, the stamina of the Sky Dragon, and the physique of the Death Ember Dragon...
After this collapse, the crimson flame form could not rise again and could not be reformed.
High above the heavens.
Those crimson eyes, at some point, were now covered in cracks, from which streaks of firelight emanated.
Levi knew that this calamity was already at its last gasp.
He pointed his longsword at his eyeball, and another burst of crimson sword energy erupted forth!
Boom! This time, the eyeball did not resist. Under the sword energy, it turned to ashes, and the sense of danger vanished without a trace.
"The Darkness Tribulation has been overcome."
Levi let out a long breath, and then a feeling of exhaustion washed over him, and he gently lay down.
Hundred Flowers asked:
Is it over?
Levi nodded.
Hundred Flowers rushed over, picked up Levi, and carried him away from the sea back to the Ancient Dragon Continent.
The secluded island has long since disappeared and sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Emperor Palace.
Levi took some medicine and ate some high-energy food to restore his physical strength, but the mental and physical exhaustion would take time to recover.
The surging Red Emperor Dragon blood energy within his body was several times greater than before his advancement, and its quality was also higher.
Under the onslaught of this blood energy, the Crimson Emperor Divine Palace was dissolving and disintegrating at an imperceptible speed, transforming into miniature divine palaces that then flowed into Levi's cells. Upon closer inspection, each cell was a world unto itself, containing a divine palace.
The surface of the shrine is covered with bricks and tiles of six different colors.
Each brick and tile surface is engraved with crimson flame runes that resemble flames.
"The Divine Palace of Flesh and the True Flame Sigil —these are the two fundamental elements of the Crimson Emperor Dragon Power!"
After reaching level seven, Levi began to gradually analyze and understand the essence of the Red Emperor Dragon.
"The ultimate power, the world-destroying fiery dragon!"
"The Red Emperor Dragon I created is essentially a manifestation of fire and power! Therefore, no matter how the Red Emperor Dragon's abilities change, they remain fundamentally connected to these two elements."
"Strength, physique, endurance, perception, speed, and defense—these are the six fundamental strengths of physical cultivation, and their basic unit is the [Divine Palace of Flesh]!"
"And the basic unit of these supernatural elemental powers such as fire, Thunder, hurricanes, and oceans is the [True Blood Sigil], specifically the [True Flame Sigil]!"
"The Divine Palace of Flesh is the foundation, and the True Blood Sigil is the supplement. The combination of these two basic units constitutes the Dragonkind's incomparably powerful physical body and Spell-like Abilities abilities. This is also a deeper principle Talent Imprint of Knight training."
"And what makes up the [Divine Palace of Flesh] is bricks and tiles."
Levi gazed intently at it.
These bricks and tiles are all engraved with mysterious and complex patterns.
After taking inventory, he discovered that the patterns could be divided into six types.
The most widely distributed among them are bricks and tiles, which represent [strength].
They constitute the main body of the Red Emperor Dragon's [Divine Palace of Flesh].
Of course, there are also quite a few of the other five types of bricks and tiles.
However, compared to strength, it is far inferior.
Levi muttered to himself, "That's why the Red Emperor Dragon can be called a power-type Dragonkind. Through the Divine Palace, one can see the distribution differences of the six dimensions of living beings."
His consciousness entered the interior of one of the Divine Palace of Flesh.
A figure in crimson imperial robes, whose face was obscured, sat high on the throne, exuding an imposing aura! In Levi's mind, as if by sudden enlightenment, the name of this figure in crimson imperial robes appeared.
"The Crimson Emperor True Form."
The True Form is the core that governs the Divine Palace of Flesh and the True Blood Sigil, and it is also the embodiment of Levi's will! As the ancients of Levi's previous life said:
The human body possesses 36,000 gods! The Crimson Emperor True Form is the prototype of these gods! The so-called gods are, in reality, the will of the human being!
Levi's thoughts were fleeting.
Within his body, countless cells and the [Crimson Emperor True Form] within thousands of divine palaces all stood up!
At this moment, he felt as if he possessed divine power, as if nuclear bombs were igniting and detonating within him, making him want to unleash this power.
"With my will, I command billions of physical gods. These gods reside within the Divine Palace of Flesh, constructed from [Power]. The surface of the palace is covered with countless True Flame Sigil. This is the essence of the Crimson Emperor Dragon Power after reaching the seventh level!"
in short.
If we set aside the bricks and tiles that make up the other dimensions of the Divine Palace of Flesh, we can talk about that.
Red Emperor Dragon = Divine Palace of Strength + True Flame Sigil.
All abilities and numerous changes are simply permutations and combinations of these two basic elements.
Just like [0] and [1] in the code.
In an instant.
Levi seemed to have a sudden realization, as if he had achieved a profound enlightenment.
At the heart.
The Crimson Emperor Divine Palace, like a reef in the sea, is constantly being washed by the tides of blood energy. Each wash sends countless tiny particles of the Divine Palace into Levi's body cells.
After reaching level seven, the Red Emperor Dragon's cultivation involves breaking down the Divine Palace from a macroscopic to a microscopic level, so that each cell possesses its own Divine Palace. This will be an extremely long process. Levi calls this process "Physical Divine Palace Transformation," which is the gradual transformation of the abstract concept of [Power] into a concrete Divine Palace.
Despite having countless divine palaces within him, he is still far from achieving complete physical divine palace transformation.
The human body alone contains trillions of cells.
Such a superhuman with a more complex physical structure is immeasurable.
If one day, Levi achieves complete physical divine transformation.
Every drop of blood flowing through his body could contain billions of divine palaces.
This blood contains countless [Crimson Emperor True Form] imbued with Levi's will. The power contained within, if unleashed, could likely destroy a Origin Soul powerhouse.
A single drop of blood could annihilate the sun, moon, and stars! At that time, every inch of Levi's flesh and blood was the embodiment of the abstract concept of "power," the rule, and perhaps even the truth spoken of by the wizard!
Therefore, the first sentence in the description of the Red Emperor Dragon on the Proficiency Panel was. "The ultimate in power!"
With this in mind, he opened the Proficiency Panel.
Levi ——————
Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique: 19th level (1/10 million), Special effect: Crimson Emperor Dragon Body ·??? (Early stage of level 7); Bloodline Avatar: Crimson Emperor Burns the Heavens; Blood Source True Armor: Crimson Emperor Dragon Armor; Exclusive weapon: Red Dragon Ironcleaver (level 7); Bloodline Divine Runes: 0/81.
[Crimson Emperor Dragon Body -??? 1. You possess the ultimate power of the Red Emperor Dragon.]
2. You possess an exceptionally high Fire Element Affinity.
3. You have mastered the [Wind of the Sun], and you can create terrifying Solar Storm that incinerate everything.
4. You have mastered the [Red Emperor Domain], which has a diameter of 15 kilometers. The domain is filled with level seven Red Emperor Dragon Flame, which continue to burn. After the domain is deployed, your Strength attribute increases by 1000%, and your other attributes increase by 200%.
5. You possess the Dragon Might to suppress all fire dragons under heaven! 6. You can transform into the Red Emperor Dragon for an extended period of time...
This promotion marks the nineteenth level of the Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique, also known as the Blood Source Seven Transformations, or a seventh-level Knight!
Other abilities, such as the [Red Emperor Domain], are simply enhancements to the effects, need no further explanation.
The biggest change from level six to level seven is embarking on the path of [physical divine transformation].
The [Bloodline Divine Marks] are the main reference standard for the degree of physical divine transformation.
Similar to how Levi previously condensed the [Limit Soul] as a visual standard for the completion progress of the Infinite Primal Soul.
The upper limit of bloodline divine patterns is fixed and depends on the quality of the Breathing Technique itself.
The upper limit of the Red Emperor Dragon is 81 Dao! Levi's heart stirred. This number coincided with the 81 Infinite Souls that Roger had created before!
Since the Red Emperor Dragon is a super mythological existence.
If we assume that all truths in the world lead to the same goal, wouldn't that mean... the upper limit of the Infinite Primal Soul Method could also reach level eleven? Of course, these are all Levi's guesses, which may only apply to the bloodline path and not to wizards; it's just some kind of strange coincidence.
The condensation of divine runes is also divided into three stages, similar to the witch marks of a wizard.
However, the wizarding process ends before the sixth, seventh, and eighth rings, and before the Ninth Ring, when they begin to unify and advance to the level of Great Wizard.
Divine runes are refined at levels seven, eight, and nine, ending before level ten, at which point they begin to unify and ascend to mythic status! Furthermore, the number of witch marks a wizard can bear at each stage can vary, but the minimum number cannot be less than nine.
For example, seven rings with nine runes, eight rings with twelve runes—theoretically, both are possible. However, because imprinting witch marks becomes increasingly difficult at higher levels, if seven rings only require nine runes, then imprinting twelve at eight rings is simply a pipe dream. At each stage, Knight must condense one-third of the maximum number of divine runes. For the Red Emperor Dragon, that means imprinting 27 runes per realm, not a single less, and no more. This number is determined by bloodline. To increase the upper limit, one must break the bloodline shackles, achieve bloodline evolution, and become a new bloodline.
In conclusion, for Knight bound by blood ties...
A level nine legendary bloodline cannot advance to level ten and complete the process of unifying the divine palace; it can only be completed halfway, hence the title "Demigod".
Only those with mythical bloodlines can advance to level ten and completely complete the process of physical transformation into a divine palace.
As for the seventh and eighth level bloodlines, they cannot even condense the divine runes completely, let alone transform their physical bodies into divine palaces.
Perhaps this is why those Dragon Spawn cannot reach level nine. Although they contain legendary and mythical bloodline factors, they cannot, like Knight, cultivate Breathing Technique to break through the shackles of their bloodline and gradually achieve the integrity of their bloodline.
After the Red Emperor Dragon advanced, Levi sensed it through the Proficiency Panel.
81 paths should be the limit of a single-dimensional bloodline pathway.
Mythical-level bloodlines should have a limit of 66.
The legendary bloodline has a limit of 45.
As for those below the legendary level, their path to physical divine transformation cannot complete all three stages. Therefore, the concept of a limit is irrelevant.
Suddenly.
Levi thought of a question.
Based on the standards of Knight divine runes, if we speculate about wizards, does that mean that if one condenses 45 witch runes, the probability of successfully advancing to Great Wizard is relatively high? If one could condense 66, Legendary Wizard would be within reach. If one truly achieves the feat of 81 witch runes, then there should be a significant probability of advancing beyond the Legendary Realm?
Furthermore, this is further corroborated by Roger's Infinite Primal Soul Method and its 81 Limit Soul.
Levi felt that this was very likely the case.
"If this conjecture is correct, then the standard I set for the Holy Infant —at least 12 witch marks per realm—might still be a bit low. Although it's just an avatar, it should at least become Great Wizard to match my later strength. If it's too weak, then it's meaningless. Of course, the standard can't be too high either. It's just an avatar, and its talent is still far inferior to mine, so setting it too high is meaningless. The Wizard path is more open than the Knight path, and witch marks don't represent everything. Since predecessors set a minimum standard of 9 marks, it means that some people have entered the Great Wizard or even the Legendary Wizard realm with 27 witch marks. However, such people often have other heaven-defying opportunities."
After much thought...
Levi informed the Holy Infant of this matter, instructing him to imprint as many witch marks as possible within his capabilities.
Anyway, given his lifespan, he can afford to wait it out.
As for Victor, he had already planned to brand him with 15 marks, so Levi didn't need to worry about him.
Gandalf, needless to say. He was Body Refinement Wizard, unlike spellcasters. For him, becoming stronger was simple: just increase the number of body-refining runes. But that's where the difficulty lay.
Suddenly.
Levi had a sudden inspiration.
"If the guess is correct, there is a relatively clever way to increase the chances of advancing to the Ninth Ring. That is to imprint as many witch marks as possible during the Sixth Ring period. For the seventh and eighth rings, you can imprint fewer. In short, before the Ninth Ring, a total of 45 marks is enough."
"No, that's not right... Too many Sixth Ring witch marks will result in low quality and an imbalance. It's best to imprint the same number of witch marks on all three stages. Since everyone generally does it this way, there must be a reason for it. Otherwise, this shortcut to becoming Great Wizard would have been found by wizards long ago, and I wouldn't have had a chance."
"Alright, let's go with 15. Since Victor is confident in 15, the Holy Infant should be able to do it too if he tries a little harder. He's still far from the limit of his mental strength. If I can find a suitable Truth Wonder for him in the Ancient Tower, I can give him another boost in aptitude."
In fact, these are the kinds of worries that Levi top geniuses have. Ordinary Primal Soul Wizard don't have a choice at all, nor would they think about these things. They'd be lucky to advance with just nine wizard marks, the minimum requirement. How could they dare to think about twelve or fifteen? Even Hundred Flowers and Triss advanced with twelve wizard marks.
"If Hundred Flowers continues at her current pace, she should have 36 witch marks at the eighth ring limit. Although this far exceeds the standard of 27 marks, it may still be difficult for her to advance to the Great Wizard. At that time, we will have to think of other methods, or have Hundred Flowers imprint a few more high-level witch marks at the seventh and eighth rings. Although this will take more time, it will be worth it for advancing to the Ninth Ring."
There's always a way out. Levi believed that with his future strength, bringing Hundred Flowers to the Great Wizard realm wouldn't be a problem.
"Just Demigod? His Red Emperor Dragon is a god-level being!" Levi stared at the [Moon Rune] on the Proficiency Panel and fell into deep thought.
"Should we let Hundred Flowers try to solidify the Rune Words on her body? With her current strength, even if she fails, there's not much risk."
Levi has never passed on his knowledge of Rune Words to anyone, not even his companions in the Gray-White Tower.
It wasn't because he was keeping something to himself.
Don't forget, The Book of Starforging is just a book on Artifact Forging.
It was originally created for the purpose of Artifact Forging, intended to be solidified onto magical artifacts, with the aim of emulating the original Starforger Civilization and making the artifacts more powerful. However, it was abandoned because it was deemed impractical.
Levi's ability to successfully solidify the substance within himself and make it effective was purely by chance, and it was inseparable from the help of the panel.
In reality, the effects of the Rune Words he practiced had already deviated from the scope originally described in the book by its creator. For example, the Moon Rune, which was originally described in the Book of Starforging as "enhancing the lifespan of magical artifacts," became "enhancing his own lifespan" on the Proficiency Panel after Levi practiced it.
Otherwise, if it could extend a wizard's lifespan, the Book of Starforging would have been designated a divine book by the Council long ago, instead of leaving its original author frustrated and sealing it away.
Furthermore, Rune Words have an extremely high potential, but they are also extremely difficult to master, far exceeding spells.
This makes "The Book of Starforging" somewhat of a useless book for Artifact Forging.
Levi possessed Proficiency Panel, coupled with his talent and tireless practice. Even after five or six hundred years, he only managed to Strength Rune to Fourteenth Order. Other wizards, needless to say, far surpassed him.
"Let Hundred Flowers try it another day. I'll keep an eye on it and stop immediately if there are any problems."
Several months later.
There are only about half a year left before the Ancient Tower opens.
Levi has also basically consolidated his seventh-level Red Emperor Dragon realm.
The initial experiments with the Moon Rune went as he expected.
Hundred Flowers failed to solidify the rune effect on herself.
"As expected, this is for overpowered characters... Otherwise, with the brilliance of those wizards, the Book of Starforging would not have been overlooked."
Levi also shared his guesses with Hundred Flowers, for her reference only.
This isn't necessarily accurate; it's just that, within one's personal capabilities, the more witch marks one has, the better.
Hundred Flowers naturally understood this principle as well. The number 12 was a reasonable one that she calculated based on her own abilities.
If she had any more, she wasn't sure if she could cultivate to the eighth ring of perfection, let alone advance to the Ninth Ring.
Hundred Flowers knew what was going on, so Levi was relieved.
Anyway, she just needs to work hard, and Levi is confident that he can create the rest of the conditions for her.
"If there were more Morning Star or even Bright Moon- level artifacts, these problems would no longer be problems..."
Levi broke through the barrier and emerged.
His upcoming schedule will be very tight.
First, go to Hell to help the three sisters subdue the young master of the Demon Elephant Tribe. Then, raise some money, participate in the Nether Market, acquire some Soul Stone, and use them to fund the Holy Infant's cultivation, giving him more time to learn Origin Soul magic. Since the Holy Infant is the main source of income, Levi will still show him some favoritism. Gandalf and Victor will have to figure things out themselves.
Secondly, go to the Dark Ancient Tower, subdue the Dragon King, and become Seventh-Order Authority User.
Of course, before doing these two things, he had to take a look at the current situation of the Ancient Dragon Continent and the Wizard World.
After all, the Blood War has been going on for four years.
Twilight Temple.
Blood Knight and the others were studying tactics in front of the sand table when they saw Levi emerge from seclusion, and their faces lit up with joy.
"Captain, you're level seven?"
Levi nodded.
"That's right. What have our war losses been over the years?"
The Blood Knight said, "Thanks to the mechs of the Extremity Warrior Plan, our warriors' casualty rate is very low overall, not inferior to the elite warbands of the Wizard World. Moreover, at this stage, they are mainly low-level demons, and mid-level demons are rare, so we can still handle them."
Levi asked, "That's right. What happened to those demon corpses?"
The Blood Knight said, "There is currently a dedicated recycling department that uses Storage Ring to contain these corpses and prevent them from being contaminated by demonic energy."
Levi said, "I plan to set up a restricted area on the Ancient Dragon Continent, surround it with a magic array, establish a barrier, pile up the corpses of demons, and plant fungi in it. Then I will assign special people to guard and take care of it."
The Blood Knight said, "I understand. I will contact the wizards of the Dawn Tower right away."
Levi said, "By the way, a new batch of alien races will soon be settling in the Ancient Dragon Continent. You should arrange for people to go to the Intis Mountain Range to help them build their homes."
He was referring to the Wind Spirit Clan that Gandalf rescued.
The Blood Knight replied, "No problem."
Several days later.
Outer sea.
The Phantom 60 spaceship broke through the sky.
Gandalf returned with the Wind Spirit Clan, who were already registered with the Council, and taught them the Wizard Common Tongue.
The chieftain of the Wind Spirit Clan was named Ku Ross, and he and his people curiously observed this world.
It's so vast, it seems to have no boundaries! Gandalf said:
"We're almost there! Get ready to welcome the new world!"
The chieftain said, "Thank you for the guidance of the Crow God, thank you Lord Gandalf! Wait... what's that?"
Suddenly, all the Wind Spirit Clan were startled.
But then a demon hundreds of meters tall, radiating terrifying flames, appeared on the horizon of the continent ahead.
It had wings on its back and was engulfed in crimson flames; it was clearly a [Molten Mountain Demon Bat].
These are high-ranking demons, often giving rise to powerful demon lords.
The Flame Prince of the Yellow Earth Continent possessed this demonic bloodline.
Gandalf laughed and said, "Don't panic, everyone. It's just a level six peak demon."
Ku Ross exclaimed.
"Peak of Level Six? This is a demon powerful enough to destroy our world. Only the reincarnated Dragon God could withstand it!"
The next moment, a burly figure clad in black armor and carrying a greatsword appeared in the sky.
The Molten Mountain Demon Bat Bat's expression changed drastically.
"Level seven? Excuse me..."
It turned and ran away.
The Black Armor Swordsman simply raised his fist and casually unleashed a simple, unadorned punch! This punch seemed simple.
But within Levi's cells, countless Divine Palace of Strength the Crimson Emperor True Form, who simultaneously threw punches alongside him. Outside the palaces, the True Flame Sigil Runes blazed brightly! A burst of fiery fist wind instantly materialized, its scorching heat sweeping across the air, creating white shockwaves that shattered the high-altitude clouds. Even the gale-force winds of the Wind Disaster Layer paused briefly, revealing the melted crystal walls behind them. Then, a fiery passage, stretching for hundreds of miles, Shattering the Void.
The Molten Mountain Demon Bat had vanished without a trace, leaving only a crimson crystal floating in the air, radiating a precious light.
Ku Ross and the Wind Spirit Clan were stunned, their breathing rapid, still immersed in the shock of that punch.
"Even the Dragon God couldn't do that... Could the Wizard World be a realm of gods?"
"That's incredible!"
Gandalf said:
"There is no God in this world. You have been isolated from the world for too long. You will understand in time. As long as you work hard here and contribute your share, you will all have a bright future."
The void passage slowly restored itself.
Levi put away the level six peak demon crystal core, cursing inwardly.
"Damn it, how can this damned demon be so weak? It can't even withstand one of my punches?"
"What a pity, what a waste of a level six demon corpse. In the future, when killing level six demons, we can only use basic power or sword energy, and we can't use the Red Emperor Dragon Flame or magic, otherwise all the materials will be burned."
Levi has always been cautious and likes to go all out; he hasn't yet adapted to the enormous changes that come with the Red Emperor Dragon reaching level seven.
[Slayed a level 6 peak Molten Mountain Demon, gaining 300,000 points and 300,000 battle merits. You are currently ranked 123rd on the level 8 (seventh ring) Demon Slaying Ranking.]
A notification sound came from the high-level bracelet exclusively for Primal Soul Wizard.
Because Levi is currently at level seven, he has registered for the Eighth Level Demon Slaying Ranking, which means he is competing with seventh-ring wizards.
If he wanted, he could also use the Sixth Ring the Wizarding Realm to register for the Seventh Level Demon Slaying Ranking, but it would be pointless.
The level 8 leaderboard offers significantly better basic rewards than level 7, as long as you make the list.
The top 100 can earn 1,000 battle merits each year.
Top 30, 3000 battle merits.
Top ten, 5000 battle merits.
First, 10,000 battle merits.
Keep in mind that hunting down even a common early-stage level 6 demon only rewards you with 100,000 battle merits. As for a level 1 demon, the reward is a mere 1 battle merit.
Looking across the Wizard World, there aren't many seventh-ring wizards. There are quite a few old guys among them, guarding their organizations and rarely going out. As long as Levi isn't too lazy, he'll definitely make the list.
Levi glanced at the list and saw that the current number one on the Eighth Level Demon Slaying Ranking was a battle captain from the Thunder Faction named [World Ender Thunder Harvey]. This guy actually had 9.9 million points.
The average score of a level 7 early-stage demon is only around 1 million.
"This person must have killed a lot of low-level demons, otherwise how could he have found so many high-level demons in such a short time?"
The Demon Slaying Ranking rules do not restrict High-Rank Wizard from farming low-level demons to accumulate points.
But demons aren't stupid either; the gathering places of low-level demons are often guarded or ambushed by high-level demons.
Trying to farm low-level demons to climb the rankings isn't that easy.
Levi takes a rather Zen-like approach to the rankings, letting things take their natural course without deliberately trying to climb the ladder; his focus remains on spiritual practice.
Wind Spirit Clan led his people to kneel respectfully before Levi.
"Ancient prophecies say that after the Dragon God descends from the realm of gods, he will transform into a swordsman walking the mortal world to save us! Dragon God above!"
"Chief? When was that mentioned in the prophecy?"
"Just now, stop talking nonsense and just follow me in prayer!"
Levi already knew the nature of these Wind Spirit Clan from Gandalf. He said calmly, "Someone will meet you and take you to the base. Once you've settled in, use your abilities to hide in the Wind Calamity and assassinate those demons that are invading the continent."
The Wind Spirit Clan, like the Kamaitachi, are born to control the wind and can hide within it, making them suitable as assassins.
The clan chief said, "We will obey the divine decree!"
Having settled these alien races, Gandalf returned to the Middle Earth Continent.
Because Gondor City is relatively safe, and their three-part avatars currently have no shortage of regular cultivation resources, they haven't started killing yet, except for plotting against the Balrog. Therefore, they haven't made it onto the fiercely competitive Seventh Level Demon Slaying Ranking. For them, advancing to the seventh ring is the most urgent task; ranking is secondary, and Levi hasn't made any demands.
As for the Level 6 Demon Slaying Ranking, it's even more intense, a battle of gods. After all, there are many more Fifth Ring Wizards, and the differences between them are the greatest, just like the Dark Ancient Tower's Genius Battle back then.
Before setting off for Hell.
Mana told Levi that the seeds that A'Ya had brought back earlier had sprouted in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
Within the fairy realm.
Levi gazed at the green saplings sprouting like bamboo shoots.
On the tree trunk, one can vaguely see lovely human faces.
The branches form hands, and the roots are firmly planted in the earth, like feet.
He looked at Mana and asked, "Is this a tree person?"
