Golden Radiance Breaks Through, Wizard Marks Perfected!
Leaders of major organizations such as the Dawn Tower and the Twilight Temple, as well as leaders of various warbands who were not yet on duty, sat around a huge Round Table.
Levi said, "Gentlemen, the Millennium Locust Plague in the Nightmare World is about to begin. In addition to countless ordinary Famine Bug, this plague will also give birth to [Famine Raider] comparable to Primal Soul Wizard, with strength ranging from level six to level eight. Therefore, we must not let our guard down. Apart from the necessary personnel guarding the Ancient Dragon Continent, all organizations need to send manpower to the Nightmare World to suppress the insect plague."
The Blood Knight said, "At the Twilight Temple headquarters, apart from the four major battle groups responsible for maintaining order on the continent—the Fire Dragon, Steel Dragon, Silver Dragon, and Snow Dragon —can all go to the Nightmare World. It's only for a year, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Besides, during this time, we can also return to the real world from the Nightmare World. If there are more important matters on the Ancient Dragon Continent, then naturally the Ancient Dragon Continent will take precedence."
The Black Knight said:
"At the branch office, apart from those who remain to guard the garrison, everyone can also enter the Nightmare World."
Next, the heads of all the organizations explained their respective situations.
Levi, who had been in seclusion for decades, had also grasped the current situation.
First, let's talk about the Twilight Eighteen Knights.
The older generation of Knight, such as the Blood Knight, Ash Knight, and Divine Light Knight, who advanced to level six very early, are already in the mid-stage of level six.
The Golden Lion, the Holy Ape, the Goddess, and the Black Knight are still in the early stages.
From Elsa's promotion to Level 6 to the present, a total of 60 years have passed.
Among the middle-generation Knight, the Silver Dragon Knight also successfully advanced to level six, and without relying on Levi's life-saving treasure.
Dark Moon, Hundred Flowers, Thousand Illusions, and Steel Dragon are currently at the peak of level five.
Hundred Flowers goes without saying; she has many part-time jobs and is currently working hard to improve her social standing.
The other three middle-aged Knight are still honing their combat skills and divine weapons, preparing materials for their advancement.
It may take some more time before I can reach Level 6.
So far, among the Knight who have advanced to level six, everyone except for the Goddess Knight Elsa has had a relatively smooth journey.
Among the new generation of Knight, the Fire Dragon Knight needs no introduction.
This is a true freak, a prodigy who can overpower the top geniuses in the Wizard World.
Although he joined relatively late, he has made a remarkable comeback, leading the new generation by a version, and now he has even surpassed the middle generation.
If things continue like this, it's only a matter of time before he surpasses the older generation and becomes the leader of the next Eighteen Riders.
Levi also held the Fire Dragon Knight in high regard.
We're going to groom him as the "flagship" of the Knight!
Since the start of the Blood War, the Fire Dragon Knight has made a name for himself Knight in the Wizard World.
This will greatly help the Twilight Temple's recruitment efforts and increase the Council's emphasis on Knight.
The Knight have long lagged behind, and in the eyes of some old-timers in the Wizard World, even if they rise to prominence now, they are just "nouveau riche".
These stereotypes take time to change.
Aside from the Fire Dragon Knight.
Both the Jade Elephant Knight and the Snow Dragon Knight are at the peak of level five.
The Jade Elephant Knight rose to prominence not only because of his talent but also because of good fortune; Levi happened to bring back the level seven Giant Elephant King.
Using such a high-level Secret Medicine for cultivation at a lower level is naturally a devastating blow.
Take the Siren Knight Order, for example; all of them trained using level six Secret Medicine from the very beginning.
With the added intensity of training and a focus on the Knight, they reached level five much earlier than expected.
As the saying goes, "A good wind lends its strength, helping me soar to the clouds," and the Snow Dragon Knight is no exception; the essence of the Snow Mountain Dragon King's Bloodline Essence is a perfect match.
Other Knight, even those who have accumulated a great deal of contribution points, cannot use such a high-level Secret Medicine for the time being.
Feather Knight, Pheasant Knight, Halberd Knight are also at the late stage of Level 5.
This is a relatively dangerous line, because in the Twilight Temple these days, a genius can emerge from time to time.
These people are capable of surpassing them and outdoing them.
Of course, even if they lose out, their battle group organization will not be abolished.
After all, with enough time spent getting used to each other, constantly replacing parts isn't a solution.
Moreover, although they are temporarily outmatched, they all have the potential to reach level six in the future, which does not mean they lack potential.
The new Eighteen Riders can form their own new battlebands.
Things are different now. The Dawn Tower has more money, and the cost of the Extreme Dao Battle Armor has been reduced considerably compared to before.
It's only a matter of time before a new battle group is formed.
Regarding the Ancient Dragon Empire:
After the Feather King reached level six, the Wing King and the Azure King also reached level six one after another.
Besides the three kings, two other Ancient King also attempted to advance to level six.
As a result, one failed, and even the extraordinary treasure could not save his life.
The other one succeeded, but it wasn't perfect.
Levi realized that even for the Ancient Saint geniuses of the old era, such as those from the Ancient Dragon Empire...
Promotion to level six also involves a great deal of risk.
In fact, isn't the same true for the Twilight Temple? Of the Eighteen Riders who have successfully advanced so far, it seems like everything is going smoothly.
In reality, these are all survivor biases.
Because they are already at the top, they are outstanding in terms of talent, willpower, perseverance, skills, and luck.
In the future, as the sample size continues to expand, advancement to level six will inevitably be accompanied by failures and even death.
These are all objective laws governing organizational development, and no one can escape them, except for those like Levi who created their own Breathing Technique.
The difficulty of advancing Knight to level six is actually slightly less than that of a wizard.
The [Savage Ancestors] warband, led by Aljeta, has also produced many level 5 powerhouses.
Tiger and others in the early stages had already reached the peak of level five, but whether they could advance to level six was still unknown.
[Giant Soldier's Roar] The Giant Breathing Technique practiced by those two-headed men also had a good effect.
They are an inherently powerful and extraordinary race, with a strong Frost Giant bloodline within them.
Both the Knight and wizardly talents are quite good.
Commander Bie Xi Ta made full use of their strengths.
Those who enjoy spellcasting should study at the Dawn Tower, while those skilled in combat should learn at the Twilight Temple.
Even, if one has the talent of the Qi Sect Master, becoming a "Giant Qi Sect" is entirely possible.
In the Ancient Dragon Continent, regardless of your race, as long as you demonstrate sufficient talent, you can choose a path to transcendence that suits you.
As for "Valkyrie of the End" and "Siren's Song", they have both developed well in recent years, exceeding Levi's expectations.
The Dawn Tower is thriving.
Aya, whom Levi brought from the Ancient Tower more than four hundred years ago, is now a Rising Star in the Wizard World.
The Shadow Queen, with her perfected nine talents, is like Levi, a one-woman army leading the Shadow Army. Her efficiency in slaying demons surpasses even that of the Fire Dragon Knight.
This gave him a sense of accomplishment in nurturing someone.
Solett, now a senior Sixth Ring wizard, lives in seclusion in the tower, teaching students and nurturing many promising talents.
His student, Si Ta, whom Levi trained three hundred years ago, is now Fifth Ring perfect wizard and is honing his ninth talent.
Moreover, due to his talent Child of Thunder Element, he gradually began to distinguish himself in the Blood War.
He ranks among the top 1,000 on the Level 6 Demon Slaying Ranking.
These people are seen by the council as potential future leaders of the Sixth Ring Road.
As for whether he can get into the Sixth Ring, that depends on fate.
180-year-old Toby, a descendant of the Hammer of the Fire God, a rare Child of Fire Element and a special gifted earth elementalist.
Under the guidance of the Holy Infant, he has become a senior Fourth Ring wizard and Fourth Ring Artifact Forging.
Although his advancement speed is not as fast as Simon, the former dual-fire talent, Levi thinks it's quite healthy.
In the future, I can steadily and surely advance to the Sixth Ring.
In that case, the Holy Infant could basically become a hands-off manager.
Aside from occasionally releasing some of his own crafted top-grade magical artifacts at auctions to maintain his popularity.
There's not much else to worry about.
These geniuses are just a microcosm of the Dawn Tower.
In fact, more than four hundred years after its founding.
This organization has produced many geniuses.
However, no one can guarantee whether they will make it to the end.
The last of the Panda Clan Qi Sect, although practicing Buddhism, developed in a far from Buddhist way.
First is Zhou Holy Emperor, who has been stuck at the mid-stage of level six for a long time.
As a result, one time, while preaching, he suddenly had an epiphany.
At that time, flowers rained down from the sky, blue lotuses sprang from the ground, and azure dragons circled around—strange phenomena appeared.
Amidst the attention of everyone, he broke through two minor realms in a row, reaching the peak of the sixth level.
The Qi Sect Cultivators present were dumbfounded, and it even alerted the Qi Sect Research Institute of the Wizard Council.
Wizards cultivate step by step; there is never any such thing as breaking through minor realms in succession.
The sheer shock and awe it evoked is unimaginable.
As a result, after various interviews and studies, the parliamentarians still couldn't come to a conclusion and eventually left disappointed.
Even Zhou Holy Emperor couldn't explain it; he could only say, "When inspiration strikes, enlightenment comes naturally."
Following this incident, the number of people signing up for the Qi Sect Cultivation Heart Test surged dramatically.
Among the applicants, a true genius emerged.
It was Link who possessed a Golden Halberd Iron Heart.
It is one of the strongest talents in the Golden Stone Qi Sect.
After that, Link joined the Golden Stone Qi Sect and began the path of dual cultivation of the Qi Sect and Secret Sword Stream Wizard.
However, most of the time, he was on the front lines of Blood War battles, honing his skills through actual combat.
This resulted in him having a significant lead in points.
Like the former Fire Dragon Knight, he ranks among the top fifty on the Demon Slaying Ranking and has become a rising star.
In addition, Four Sons of Qi Sect.
An, Chen, Li, and Hong advanced to level six very early on.
Some of those who had many sudden insights have already reached the mid-stage of level six.
They returned to their respective Qi Sect and became guardians of their respective regions.
Looking at the Ancient Dragon Continent, it is now teeming with talent and thriving.
Levi, the "Supreme Elder," was completely at ease.
All he could do was strive to reach even higher levels and continuously raise the organization's ceiling! Several days later.
After a period of intensive mobilization.
Centaurs began entering the Nightmare World, heading to various territories to guard them.
Because Levi currently has a limited number of people he can bring in, he prioritizes selecting those with strong abilities.
The Twilight Temple, the Dawn Tower, the Ancient Dragon Empire, and various organizations all have at least two Level 6 powerhouses stationed there.
Phantom Bone Dragon, Giant Elephant King, Snow Mountain Dragon King, these level seven guardians also stayed on the continent to guard against the attack of level seven demons.
In addition, all the members of the Dragon Palace and undead creatures, who are skilled in combat, also entered.
As for the sea monsters and Snow Elf, they will remain at their respective posts.
Levi, Hundred Flowers, Triss will all be stationed in the Nightmare World for the next year.
The Three Heroes of Gondor City were also invited to participate in the pest control operation.
Nightmare World.
Chaotic Wilderness.
From the strange grass, an insect monster, about a meter long, with a sallow, emaciated human face and an animal-like face, slowly crawled out.
A rustling sound came from underground.
Within the soil, it was as if countless ants were crawling.
Before long, layers of dark, Strange Worm began to emerge on the ground.
They come in all sizes, some as small as wild dogs, others as large as elephants.
Some are even over 100 meters long.
A monster covered in hard, heavy armor that gleamed with metallic luster, with six legs like sharp blades.
Without exception, these are all level six Famine Bug.
They belong to the special unit [Famine Raider].
Each one is an extremely troublesome Nightmare Lord.
Clad in iron armor, impervious to swords and spears; legs wielded like blades, capable of cleaving through anything.
In fact, even those small Famine Bug are extremely dangerous.
Their mouthparts can devour anything, even force fields at the Sixth Ring level.
All the wings flapping can create a terrifying Negative Energy Storm.
This day.
Throughout the Nightmare World, after lying dormant for millennia, countless Famine Bug have hatched.
They gathered together, forming a black mist, and the noise resounded for hundreds or even thousands of miles around, like Thunderclap.
Whether it's the territory of the Nightmare Lord or the Nightmare Lord, they treat each other equally.
Outside the Black Dragon Territory.
As Levi's base camp.
He personally guarded this place.
In addition, there is the [Phantom Apostle Order] led by the Thousand Illusion Knight, which is used to take turns resting with him.
Then came the army of Nightmare Creature native to Black Dragon Territory.
It can be said that Levi alone is responsible for guarding Black Dragon Territory.
Levi has deployed all the troops from the Ancient Dragon Continent to other territories.
Both Hundred Flowers and Triss went to the Seven Sins City.
Ensure that each territory is guarded by at least two level 6 beings, and that no territory is lost.
However, because it was Millennium Locust Plague, Levi had already prepared himself for the loss of territory.
As long as the losses aren't too great, they can all be recovered once the locust plague ends.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
In the distance, it looked as if ten thousand planes were flying by, their engines roaring!
The Thousand Illusion Knight looked somewhat nervous as she gazed at the silent figure standing there.
"Is the commander alone really okay?"
She knew the commander was powerful, but it was unimaginable for one person to fight against such a dense locust plague.
soon.
Countless locusts swept in, covering the sky and the earth.
The black energy storm turned the sky for hundreds of miles ahead black.
Levi said, "Thousand Illusion Knight, you and the battle group are responsible for cleaning up the locusts I missed."
The Thousand Illusion Knight said, "Yes, Commander, be careful!"
Levi's figure vanished.
An energy storm formed by countless locusts swept towards him.
"Shadow Dragon Multitude! Kill!"
At a command, Levi emerged from the shadows behind him.
Three thousand Black Shadow Legion surged out like a tide.
Among them, the most conspicuous are undoubtedly the shadowy centipede that is hundreds of meters long, and the Arrogance golden brain!
Thousands upon thousands of spells and Spell-like Abilities bloomed brilliantly in the heavens and earth, like fireworks.
In an instant, tens of thousands of locusts were killed, and nightmare crystals fell like raindrops.
Levi, wielding the Red Dragon Ironcleaver, stepped forward and arrived before a Famine Raider who was slaughtering shadows.
This plunderer's aura was in no way inferior to that of a level six early-stage expert.
Behind Levi, an invisible dragon aura swept out, taking form like an emperor's cloak! "The Dragon Way!"
Among the Ten Ferocious Martial Ways, the Dragon Way is the most comprehensive.
One sword strike!
The raider was cut in two, and there was no trace of life left!
This also means that Levi's Shadow Legion will have one more Level 5 general.
"Leon, collect all the looters' corpses."
Levi gave the order.
The raider's full-body armor is made of natural level 6 bio-metal.
It is most suitable for Forging divine weapons, Extreme Dao Battle Armor, and Demon Piercing Shuttle.
Therefore, this locust plague is both a danger and an opportunity.
There are quite a few such predators among locust swarms.
Leon, dragging a woven bag made of spider webs, turned on the "auto-pickup" function.
Following behind Levi, they were responsible for picking up the spoils of war.
Occasionally, they would catch a few locust True Spirit to make canned food.
However, it has high standards; it looks down on anything other than Level 6.
In Leon's words, these low-grade foods have little nutritional value for him now, and eating too much of them just fills his stomach.
In the following time, Levi fought his way in and out of the locust swarm seven times.
One by one, the raiders fell to his sword.
Whether it's the early stage of level 6, the late stage of level 6, or even the peak.
For him now, it's just a matter of one sword strike, or at most two, to resolve the situation.
He and the Shadow Dragon Multitude held back the locust army that covered an area of hundreds of miles.
Upon seeing this, the Thousand Illusion Knight's mouth agape slightly, her beautiful eyes wide with astonishment.
"That's incredible!"
The Phantom Apostle Order were completely dumbfounded.
In the blink of an eye, three thousand black shadows followed! Any level six is nothing more than a single sword strike!
They had only fantasized about such power.
But what I saw with my own eyes was completely different.
that's all.
Taking advantage of the locust plague, Levi improved his proficiency in "Apex Path Stratagem" through actual combat.
The results were much better than during regular training.
Don't be fooled by the fact that his current "Apex Path Stratagem" is at Seventh Rank; it only requires tens of thousands of proficiency points.
That's because the Proficiency Panel was calibrated during the fusion process.
The current Seventh Rank is actually equivalent to his seventh level realm.
The difficulty of gaining 1 point of proficiency is completely different from the previous Seventh Rank of the Breathing Technique.
On the ground, more and more locust corpses began to pile up.
Locust plagues are also arriving from other directions.
However, with the Shadow Dragon Multitude, the Phantom Apostle Order, and the Nightmare Creature within his territory, Levi has successfully held them off so far.
After several months of fighting, his Shadow Legion also suffered heavy losses.
However, at the same time, new locusts have also joined the fray.
Four new level-five shadows of the raiders have been added.
However, so far, this applies to both Black Dragon Territory and other territories.
No level 7 raiders have been created.
This relieved Levi; it was just a level six raider, no big problem.
When he got tired, he let the Giant Whale King take his place.
This cycle repeats, alternating between the two.
He had lost count of how many locusts he had killed.
It just felt like the locust army was endless and impossible to eradicate.
In contrast, Nightmare World.
Territories were constantly being swallowed up by swarms of locusts.
More and more Nightmare Lord are becoming Wandering Lords.
Those who tried to perish with the territory were bitten to death by countless locusts.
The Flesh Mother Tree within those territories were instantly reduced to nothing by the insect plague.
And so, a piece of unclaimed land was formed.
Although the Flesh Mother Tree has died, its root system remains, and there is still a chance for it to sprout in the future.
The Seven Sins City.
Hundred Flowers, with her sorcerer-like appearance, easily crushed the predators before her.
"Can Levi really hold out for a year on his own?"
Although she had only been killing for a few months, Hundred Flowers already felt somewhat mentally exhausted.
She's just casting spells numbly right now.
Triss felt the same way.
Therefore, she was a little worried about Levi's mental state.
Black Dragon Territory.
After Levi finished resting.
The image of the Red Dragon Ironcleaver flashed to my mind, and I saw that the blade was already bent.
He expressionlessly put away the divine weapon and nurtured it within his body.
"Kill!"
He was a heartless killing machine.
"The Badger Way!"
He was as if possessed by a badger, with the essence of the sun, moon, stars, Three Qis of Man converging within him! With each punch, countless locusts were shattered into pieces from mid-air.
In fact, activating the Red Emperor Domain or using large-scale Origin Soul spells for slaughter would be even more efficient.
However, that would completely destroy all the low- and mid-level locust materials, turning them into ashes without a trace.
Even a small amount of meat is still meat, Levi felt that he could still make ends meet for the time being.
Of course, if the territory faces a life-or-death crisis, then it must be used.
In the blink of an eye.
More than half a year has passed.
The locust plague is finally coming to an end.
All we need to do is get through these last few months, and we'll be victorious.
During this period, apart from some routine demon invasions, nothing unusual happened on the Ancient Dragon Continent.
When Levi was resting, he would also go outside to take a look.
Suddenly, he received a message.
His expression changed slightly.
On the Terror Tree Territory side, they encountered Level 7 raiders.
The Blood Apostle Corps stationed there, along with the level six Blood Knight and Vampire Dragon, were all wiped out.
Levi could only sigh; for now, he could only set up a resurrection point in Black Dragon Territory.
By the time he led the Blood Knight back to the Terror Tree Territory, it was too late.
The locusts devoured the food incredibly fast.
So he simply sent the Blood Knight back to the real world to rest, and then they came to guard Black Dragon Territory.
Unfortunately, I was unlucky and a level 7 raider appeared.
If we were in Seven Sins City, things would be better, with Hundred Flowers and Triss there, who could provide support.
"Judging from the route of the level 7 raiders, the next target is Black Dragon Territory. Once we get through this wave, the locust plague should be over."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Levi quickly adjusted his breathing.
Several days later.
A black storm, stronger than ever before, approached from afar.
In the eye of the storm, a giant locust with a wingspan of a thousand meters approached with overwhelming force.
"What a monster! It's actually at the mid-stage of level seven!"
Levi's eyes narrowed slightly.
The head of that Level 7 raider was covered with thousands upon thousands of withered human faces.
"Hungry, hungry, hungry!"
It emitted eerie and chilling sounds, staring Greed at Black Dragon Territory.
Levi stood in the void, with Shadow Dragon Multitude appearing behind him.
The battered and bruised Giant Whale King silently rose to his feet.
"Thousand Illusion Knight, Blood Knight, you guys need to make sure to clean up any stragglers."
Levi must be careful with a mid-level Tier 7 raider.
The Shadow Dragon Multitude roared and charged into the swarm of locusts.
The Giant Whale King wielded a bone knife, its blade flashing! Levi, with a clear objective, hovered above the Level 7 Raider.
"Downward Hook Earth-Shaking Fist!"
The Fist of Doomsday is here!
The Raider's steel wings folded as it slashed towards Levi, shattering the void in its wake!
Bang! Levi was struck as if by a heavy blow, and his entire body was slammed into the Firmament.
The raider wasn't faring much better; it crashed to the ground, crushing a swarm of locusts to death.
There was a dented fist mark on its steel wing, but it was not a serious problem.
"Such strong defense, even stronger Andreas's."
This was the first time Levi had encountered an enemy whose uppercut couldn't inflict serious damage.
He was not surprised but delighted.
This raider is clad in steel armor; it could be used to forge countless magical artifacts or battle armor—it's priceless! This battle must not only be won, but the damage must also be minimized.
This thought came to mind.
He summoned all Nine-Headed Emperor Dragon and emperors.
Emperor Dragon summoned four late-stage level 6 spirit soldiers, activated their talent spells, and went to directly restrain the raiders.
The Emperor, wielding his Imperial Sword, joined forces with Levi, seized the opportunity, and charged forward!
A terrifying chaotic sword aura slashed towards the marauder's head.
The raider swung its blade-like legs, shattering the sword energy.
Before long, even the four invincible spirit weapons were torn to shreds as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
There was no way around it; the gap between Levi's wizarding level and that of a raider was simply too great.
This guy is even more difficult to deal with than the Snow Mountain Dragon King.
The Emperor, wielding the Chaos Shield, together with the Emperor Dragon, restrained the ferocious raiders.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Levi began to gather power for his Fist of Doomsday once again.
"The Roc Way!"
His figure was like a roc, riding the wind and Ascending Whirlwind ninety thousand miles into the sky before disappearing! In the void, Levi activated the Red Emperor Domain, empowered by the Strength Rune, the Holy Elephant Law, the Falling Star Ring, and other forces! Buzz! When he reappeared, Levi had already flashed to the predator's abdomen, which was also protected by steel armor but was relatively soft.
"Upward Hook Sky-Rending Fist!"
Levi unleashed a punch, the force of which formed white waves, like a surging river, a thousand troops and horses!
On the boxing gloves.
The two wind-element energy cores dimmed instantly.
Boom! A devastating punch! It ripped open the predator's belly, Levi it flying into the sky.
The surging energy ripped through the body, tearing apart the red and black sky of the Nightmare World.
But it's not over yet.
But then Levi installed two new wind-based energy cores.
He vanished from the plunderers' sight once more, like a soaring roc.
Before the raider could react, Levi had already appeared above it.
"World-Destroying Fist!"
The ultimate technique from the Iron Fist Clan was unleashed by Levi.
The four man-made wind energy cores instantly turned to dust and completely dissipated.
A surge of powerful energy flowed into the boxing gloves.
Levi's fist, descending from the sky, struck the raider's head! The raider blocked with its forelimbs.
Click.
Its pair of forelimbs were completely shattered and fell off.
Then, those thousands upon thousands of withered faces were annihilated by the force of the punches.
Boom! The raider's body plummeted to the ground like a cannonball, the shockwave stirring up dust that covered a radius of hundreds of miles and soared into the infinite sky!
Levi followed closely behind, and like Wu Song fighting the tiger, he fiercely punched the plunderer's head.
Juice splattered, and the predator's momentum waned.
A headless body, carrying Levi, flies through the air.
The Emperor's Longsword fell!
Hammer it into the ground!
The Emperor Dragon spread its wings, pinned it to the ground, and the beating began.
I don't know how much time has passed.
The aura of the predator completely dissipated.
Only one powerful True Spirit flew out, and it took Leon a lot of effort to subdue it.
"Not bad, another mid-stage level six figure."
Levi, panting, gazed at the Shadow Legion that was wreaking havoc.
If it weren't for the talent of the Shadow Dragon Multitude, no matter how strong he was, he wouldn't dare to guard a territory alone.
The feeling of being a one-man army is so exhilarating!
After collecting his spoils, Levi continued his killing spree.
Feeling the terrifying shockwave, countless eyes in the distant battle were shocked.
"One punch, annihilating a mid-stage level seven... Is this the guild leader?"
The Thousand Illusion Knight murmured.
The raider's steel-blade-like forelimbs, capable of killing a Sixth Ring wizard with a single strike, were broken by the captain's hammer.
"Our leader is getting further and further away on the path of Knight, and we, the members, must work even harder to follow in his footsteps."
Witnessing the guild leader's battles that year, the Thousand Illusion Knight gained some insights.
She felt that she should be able to reach Level 6 within a hundred years.
And so, another three months passed.
On this day, outside the territory, the remaining locust swarms suddenly died and fell from the sky.
"The year has come to an end, and all the locusts will turn to dust like Mayfly that live only a day and die at dusk. They are truly amazing creatures."
Even the level six raider died in an instant.
It's hard to imagine that there are Level 6 beings with a lifespan of only one year.
"These locust plagues are probably related to the self-regulation of the Nightmare World."
Everything needs balance.
Since the Abyss possesses a powerful will that Levi cannot comprehend.
This Nightmare World probably does exist.
These wills could be the will of the world, other powerful beings, or both.
In short, in order to maintain its own balance or promote its own evolution, the Abyss constantly wages wars outward.
The Nightmare World is pretty much the same.
"These things are too far away for someone at level seven like me."
Having survived the locust plague, Levi felt much more relaxed. A year of continuous, high-intensity fighting had been a powerful test of his willpower.
The Seven Sins City.
The pale-faced Hundred Flower Knight looked at everyone who was equally exhausted, and everyone's faces showed a relieved smile.
During this period, many of them had already died many times.
"It's over! We've won!"
"Hahaha! We won!"
"Millennium Locust Plague is nothing more than this!"
Hundred Flowers said, "Everyone, take turns to rest, then quickly clean up the spoils and take stock of the gains and losses."
These outsiders who descended in their avatars will not die.
However, native Nightmare Creature born in the territory cannot be resurrected.
After this battle, everyone will undergo a transformation.
Whether it's combat experience, combat skills, or the tempering of will.
This will be of great benefit in the face of the upcoming Blood War.
In the blink of an eye.
One month later.
Ancient Dragon Continent.
At the summary meeting on the locust plague, Levi listened to everyone's reports with a good expression.
Apart from the Terror Tree Territory, the other 16 territories survived unscathed.
The Terror Tree Territory can be repaired in the future, but it will take a long time.
In this battle, we also lost a third of the Nightmare Creature in our territory, which was unavoidable.
It's impossible to wipe out the entire locust plague with just the troops from outside the area.
The main force still needs to be the cannon fodder of the Nightmare Creature born in the local area.
Fortunately, they are updated and replaced very quickly, and these losses can be recovered in about a hundred years.
Moreover, the level six Nightmare Lord were all unharmed.
In this battle, a total of two level-seven raiders were hunted down.
Besides the one Levi killed, there was another one, killed by Triss.
A level 6 raider killed a total of 27 in one year.
This is an extremely terrifying number, equivalent to the number of Origin Soul in a top-tier wizarding organization.
This was just Millennium Locust Plague; the thought of a massive locust plague that only occurred once every ten thousand years sent chills down Levi's spine.
Fortunately, he has a thousand years to prepare, so there's no rush.
As for ordinary locusts below level six, there are even more of them.
The crystallization of nightmares alone is piled up like mountains.
Biological materials have already filled the warehouses of various organizations.
Levi also had the Holy Infant take away the materials for the level seven locusts.
"Everyone has worked hard this past year. After this battle, everyone will receive a reward from the organization, and those who perform exceptionally well will receive an even bigger prize."
Be fair in rewards and punishments; be generous when appropriate, and don't be stingy.
"The commander is so magnanimous!"
"The commander is mighty!"
The Knight of the Twilight Temple were the first to shout.
Immediately afterwards, more and more people shouted, celebrating the victory of this great operation.
After the commendation ceremony, the various battle groups continued their Blood War, fighting against the demons that had invaded the continent.
Meanwhile, in the Chaotic Wilderness outside Black Dragon Territory.
Underground, new seedlings of the Flesh Mother Tree began to sprout.
Triss watched all of this from the air.
The seedlings in the distance stretch endlessly, full of vitality.
She murmured to herself.
"It is death, and it is also rebirth."
Clearly, it was the death of these locusts that brought new life to the Nightmare World.
This is a complex and subtle internal cycle within the world.
"In the near future, the area of Black Dragon Territory and other territories will continue to expand. After the Ten-Thousand-Year Locust Plague, it is possible that they will... merge into one large territory."
As far as she knew, many great lords' territories were large, single entities, unlike the fragmented territory of Black Dragon Territory.
"The Nightmare World is truly fascinating."
Four years later.
Nora lived for 256 years, Blood War for 44 years.
Ancient Dragon Continent.
Intis Mountain Range.
The Dragon God Hall stands here, inhabited by the Wind Spirit Clan.
Outside the palace, in the square, stands a statue of a Black Armor Swordsman.
On this day, the Wind Spirit Clan warriors were patrolling high in the sky.
Suddenly, a terrifying elemental tide was forming in the distant mountains.
But then, one after another, terrifying phantom dragons appeared.
Then, a Black Armor Swordsman let out a long roar and soared into the sky.
He tore those dragons apart with his bare hands.
A terrifying battle, shaking the heavens and the earth.
"This is the Dragon God undergoing tribulation! Ancient prophecies tell me... the Dragon God will surely overcome this tribulation!"
The clan chief spoke earnestly.
Sure enough, not long after, the Black Armor Swordsman easily survived the calamity and disappeared.
"The clan leader is amazing!"
"Truly worthy of being the number one sage of our Wind Spirit Clan!"
"The Dragon God is mighty!"
Emperor Palace.
680-year-old Levi opened the Proficiency Panel.
Levi ————————
Golden Radiance Dragon Breathing Technique: 19th Rank (1/10,000,000), Special Effect: Golden Radiance Dragon Body - Mythical Level (Early Stage 7). Bloodline Avatar: Golden Dragon Frenzy Dance. Blood Source True Armor: Golden Radiance Dragon Armor. Exclusive Weapon: Golden Dragon Controls the Sky (Stage 7). Bloodline Divine Runes: 0/66.
"As expected, a mythical-level Breathing Technique with 66 bloodline runes."
Levi looked inward at his own body.
The Golden Radiance Divine Palace also began to slowly crumble.
Inside one of the cells.
Outside the Divine Palace of Strength, another Defense Divine Palace begins to appear.
The Golden Radiance True Form imperial robe, sat high on the throne, his face obscured.
"The fusion of Breathing Technique may be the process of blending the six divine palaces together to form a flawless hexagonal divine palace! In such a perfect divine palace, the number of bricks and tiles of the six dimensions is basically the same."
To achieve all this, the physical transformation into a divine palace may need to be fully completed.
Moreover, it requires Six Dimensions Breathing Technique, and there is no significant difference in quality between them.
At this stage, Levi still has many legendary Breathing Technique that need to be evolved.
"My Golden Radiance Dragon's defensive capabilities are now comparable to those of a mid-stage level seven raider."
The raiders' defensive capabilities left a deep impression on Levi.
"The Golden Radiance Dragon and the Red Emperor Dragon, one offensive and one defensive, are the two most important attributes among the six dimensions. With these two reaching level seven, my strength has advanced further."
Now, Levi is eager to go to the God Forsaken Continent and hunt demons.
However, he is about to advance to the seventh ring, so he can only put it on hold for now.
During his last seclusion, he practiced eight kinds of Origin Soul techniques.
Among them is the Venom School spell "Five Decays Descend," which, once cast, will cause the enemy's internal organs to decay and rot.
In addition, the remaining seven spells come from the seven elemental factions, some from two factions and some from one faction.
"Geothermal Art," "Skyfire Burns the City," "Hidden in the Morning Breeze," "Wrath of the Sea King," "Harvey's Golden Hound," "Maiden of Frost," and "Thunder Nine Flashes"—these are just some of the spells available. They include offensive spells, summoning Spell-like Abilities, and escape spells. For example, "Thunder Nine Flashes" transforms the caster into lightning, allowing them to traverse the void nine times consecutively, each time covering a distance of five hundred miles.
In general, these spells are mainly for collecting the 27 witch marks.
But Levi also carefully selected only high-quality items that might be useful, and it cost a lot of money.
Next, all Levi needs to do is grind them all to perfection, and he can advance to the seventh ring.
Levi's seclusion this time was solely for practicing magic and making the final push.
Time flies.
Time flies by.
Within the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, the Honey Snow Ice Pear have ripened.
Levi immediately took a portion for his own magical practice.
The rest were divided among the three clones, Hundred Flowers, Triss, and others.
This can serve as payment for Triss's brewing of the Flame Demon Potion.
Triss did not disappoint Levi, and succeeded in refining it on her first try.
Levi's breakthrough potion was thus secured.
I have to say, Honey Snow Ice Pear is really effective.
After taking it, Levi felt that his thinking was more agile than usual, and his understanding of magic was more thorough.
When practicing, one can achieve twice the result with half the effort, and one's proficiency in spells will increase rapidly.
In this way, 20 years have passed since Levi went into seclusion.
Nora, 276.
The 64th year since the start of the Blood War.
That year, Dragon King Li turned 700 years old.
Within the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, he opened his slightly weathered eyes.
On the Proficiency Panel, all 27 Origin Soul spells are now at max level!
The unfolding of the shamanic imagery, with its vibrant colors and diverse styles of shamanic marks, is a testament to Levi's efforts over the past few centuries.
He took the Flame Demon Potion and, while the iron was hot, began his seclusion.
There was not a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
Because he was confident that he could succeed 100%! After seven hundred years of life, he finally entered the Seventh Ring Road! 10,000 words today, plus 4,000 extra words, 7,000 words owed. Long chapter, please vote, subscribe, and Recommendation Ticket!
