The Winter Emperor's Hand!
Fourteen years.
From 20th on the leaderboard, they fought their way up to number one.
This is even more difficult than breaking into the top ten from the 200th place.
After the top 100, the difference in strength and points among the seventh-ring wizards is not significant.
Basically, improving your points will allow you to advance one rank.
The top 100 are mostly filled with monsters and demons.
The further back in time the wizard progressed, the more perverse they became.
The top ten are mainly seventh-ring perfect wizards, and they are all geniuses and outstanding individuals among them.
These people all have, to varying degrees, a history of fighting against Eighth Ring Wizard.
Regardless of whether they fought against opponents of higher levels, they were definitely not ordinary people.
The top three, needless to say.
The three powerful figures, World-Extinguishing Thunder, Light Divine Sword, Hand of the Fire God, have occupied this place for many years.
The gap between him and the third place has widened considerably! And this time, witnessed by everyone, the Twilight Hall Master has entered the top spot at an incredible speed.
[First place: Twilight Hall Master, 120 million points.]
[Second place: World-Extinguishing Thunder, 118 million points.]
[Third place, Light Divine Sword, 100 million points.]
Thus, in the 166th year since the start of the Blood War, the top spot on the Eighth Level Demon Slaying Ranking has finally changed hands.
The God Forsaken Continent.
Having accumulated 100 million battle merits, Levi embarked on his journey home.
The past decade or so has not been smooth sailing for him.
The Eighth Level Demon of the Burning Crusade Army repeatedly tried to intercept him.
However, he managed to escape successfully. With his current ability to save his life, even an eighth-level expert would be unable to do anything to him.
Not long ago, they even deployed two Level 8 officers to ambush them.
He knew he would have to leave for a while.
After more than a decade of killing, Levi had lost count of how many demon lords he had hunted down.
They even killed quite a few level seven demons.
The high-level demon materials he had accumulated were enough to make him incredibly wealthy.
Among the ten thousand Shadow Dragon Multitude, there are dozens of Level Six Shadows.
About one-third of the shadows are at level five.
The rest are basically all level four shadows.
You can tell just by looking at the shadows how insane Levi's killings have been over the years.
Because his appearance is always accompanied by the Shadow Dragon Multitude.
Gradually, the title of "Shadow Demon Hunter" began to circulate among demons.
Shadow Demon Hunter Levi wields incredibly powerful shadow magic, commanding thousands upon thousands of powerful shadows.
When you spot this person, it means you're already surrounded by shadows covering the mountains and fields.
He alone is an army.
Gradually, many wizards also learned the secret to Levi's invincibility.
Seeing that Levi controlled so many shadows.
Those genius wizards of the Shadow School even doubted that they were practicing fake shadow magic.
Some people are dissatisfied, feeling that this method is cheating.
However, since the Demon Slaying Bracelet determined there was no problem, no one paid any attention to these comments.
No matter how many shadows Levi summons, he always uses his own magic, which makes no mistake.
Aside from the shadow, Levi's own strength left them speechless.
After reaching the top, more and more congratulatory and flattering voices came in droves.
It was also listed as a headline in major newspapers.
Although Levi didn't want to be famous, the list was there, and he couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to.
After successfully obtaining the [Winter Emperor's Hand] in the Central Realm, Levi returned to the Ancient Dragon Continent.
Inside the container was a withered, emaciated arm, radiating a chilling aura.
The surface of his arm was covered with fine Frost, within which countless runes of Frost truth shone.
Levi breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I've obtained the superior artifact of the Cold King Sequence; this stage of my goal is complete..."
"Once the Holy Infant reaches the seventh ring, he will refine it, and the Ice Fire Holy Body should be completely balanced, and he can even advance further. Next, with the Holy Infant's aptitude, his cultivation at the seventh ring should be smooth sailing, surpassing those ordinary top geniuses, and I won't need to worry about him anymore."
He put away the [Winter Emperor's Hand]. The Holy Infant had already gone into seclusion to advance to the seventh ring and might not be able to emerge from seclusion for some time.
Only Gandalf has no limit yet.
It wasn't that Levi was biased and didn't prepare any wonders for Gandalf.
The real reason is that the War Merit Shop doesn't have Full Moon Wonder are quite suitable for Gandalf.
Pure body-refining artifacts like the "Proof of Elephant God" are extremely rare.
It would be better to let Gandalf accumulate merits and slowly exchange them for that random item worth 50 million merits to try his luck.
If it's not quite suitable, he can use it for cultivation.
Besides the [Winter Emperor's Hand], there are also some decent-looking Full Moon Wonder among the non-random artifacts.
However, Levi did not intend to exchange it.
These rare items are more than twice the price of random rare items, making them not cost-effective.
Once he's used up all his random Full Moon Wonder attempts worth 50 million, he'll start accumulating battle merits.
He wanted to get the Blazing Sun- level rare item in one go.
So far, let's set aside the random Sun Flare Oddity worth 500 million.
The Battle Merit Shop is exclusively for seventh-ring wizards to exchange for, and there are only nine Blazing Sun- level rare items to choose from.
There are seven elemental factions, each with one path; the remaining two are shadow and death.
The value of these rare items is generally over 1 billion in battle merits.
Some popular factions have even surpassed 2 billion.
For example, the Combustion Faction's [Flame Emperor's Sword] is worth 2.3 billion battle merits.
The Earth Faction's [Heart of Gaia] is worth 2.2 billion battle merits.
The Ocean Faction's [Water God's Palace] is worth 1.9 billion battle merits.
The Storm Faction's "Undying Wind" is worth 1.7 billion battle merits.
In addition, the Shadow Faction's [Shadow Emblem] and the Thunder School's [Thunder of Destruction] are both very valuable.
These Sun Flare Oddity dazzled Levi.
To be honest, he wanted them all.
However, according to the exchange rules...
For the Blazing Sun- level rare item, each person has one random exchange slot and two non-random exchange slots.
Therefore, Levi can only choose two at most.
It is foreseeable that the traditional four elements of Earth-Fire Wind-Water— will face fierce competition.
There are only a few of them, but a whole bunch of geniuses want them. The top of the Demon Slaying Ranking is full of wizards from these factions.
Death was inevitable for both the Thunder and Frost Faction.
Overall, the competition between the Bronze and Shadow Faction is relatively minimal.
These two factions now only have a few Great Wizard, not even a Legendary Wizard.
There are some top geniuses, but compared to other schools of thought, they are lacking in both quantity and quality.
Based on the official valuation, the [Shadow Emblem], valued at 1.6 billion, is likely inferior to the number one [Flame Emperor's Sword].
According to the Strange Object Illustrated Handbook, the Flame Emperor's Sword is indeed one of the best among the Blazing Sun.
However, Levi listed the Shadow Emblem as one of the must-have artifacts.
The Blazing Sun- class artifact has one important function.
That is to enhance one of the wizard's innate spells and elevate it to a new level.
Generally speaking, innate spells are already fixed after advancing to the Origin Soul.
Because it has been solidified into the wizard's innate instinct.
Its power can only increase as one's cultivation level rises.
However, magic itself is difficult to evolve.
At most, one can only achieve some simple structural optimizations through the Truth Wonder, but none of these are qualitative changes.
The Sun Flare Oddity is something that defies fate and can change one's destiny.
It is powerful enough to drastically enhance a wizard's innate talents a second time! This enhancement is a true qualitative change.
Therefore, if Levi were to choose the first Sun Flare Oddity, he would inevitably choose the one that would bring him the greatest benefit.
Besides Myriad Dragons Arise, his most powerful innate spell is Shadow Dragon Multitude.
If it can undergo a qualitative change through the [Shadow Emblem], then the power of this talent will be even more terrifying.
The enhancement benefits of spells such as Fire Dragon Tribulation and Water Dragon's Chant are much less significant.
Levi believed that after the Shadow Dragon Multitude were strengthened, his shadow summons would definitely receive different buffs as well.
Of course, if given a choice, Levi would prefer to strengthen [Myriad Dragons Arise], his ninth talent.
However, this spell is somewhat special; it has chaotic properties.
Currently, all the artifacts he can access are single-attribute Sun Flare Oddity, making it difficult to enhance them.
According to the Strange Object Illustrated Handbook, those with the attribute of chaos are all Legendary Realm artifacts, far beyond his reach.
The Shadow Emblem is worth 1.6 billion battle merits.
Even if Levi had the Shadow Dragon Multitude, it would be impossible for him to amass such a large force in such a short time.
Fortunately, after looking at the Shadow School's Demon Slaying Ranking rankings, he felt relieved.
Currently, the strongest member of the Shadow School on the Eighth Level Demon Slaying Ranking is a seventh-circle perfect wizard named [Ghost Shadow].
Currently ranked fifteenth with 40 million points.
As for the Ninth Level Demon Slaying Ranking's Eighth Ring Wizard, they will not participate in the exchange of these rare items.
They have their own prize pool and don't need to compete with seventh-ring wizards.
Otherwise, given the strength of Eighth Ring Wizard, a seventh-ring wizard would certainly be out of the picture.
In this way, as long as he doesn't slack off too much in the future.
I'll go to the God Forsaken Continent to hunt demons every now and then; this rare item should be a sure thing.
Levi even felt that if he had enough time, he could first go and exchange for the popular [Flame Emperor's Sword].
Then you can exchange them for the [Shadow Emblem].
After all, the competition within the Combustion School is fierce. I'll wait until I've exchanged all the [Shadow Emblem] and saved up 2.3 billion.
Those hardcore gamers like Hand of the Fire God have probably already gotten there first.
As for the random item worth 500 million, we can exchange for that last. Everyone is guaranteed one chance to exchange it anyway.
With a renewed goal to strive for, Levi immediately felt motivated.
However, after hunting demons for more than a decade, he was somewhat exhausted and didn't want to go to the God Forsaken Continent for the time being.
I'm planning to change my mood and relax.
Through Leon's memory disc.
He learned from the memories of those demon lords that he was now the Burning Crusade Army's most wanted criminal.
The commander of the expeditionary force offered himself a bounty of a level nine Abyss Heart.
This is why those Eighth Level Demon lords all want to cause him trouble.
If he hadn't mastered the Death Ember Divine Palace and possessed such heaven-defying abilities as the Danger Perception, he wouldn't have been able to achieve this.
They have most likely already suffered a crushing defeat and their bones have been God Forsaken Continent.
As far as he knew, there weren't many wizards in the Wizard World with a bounty on their Abyss Heart.
Lucy, the leader of the Deep Blue Expeditionary Force, is one.
There are a few more, all of whom are powerful warriors from battle groups who have reached the eighth level of perfection.
Levi is the only seventh-ring wizard to receive such an "honor".
Even the World-Extinguishing Thunder and the Light Divine Sword do not enjoy such treatment.
After resting for a while.
He arrived at the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, gazing at the Black Soul Magic Tower and the Book of the Dead in his hand.
"It's been a long time since I've personally forged a weapon."
He plans to upgrade the Book of the Dead to the seventh ring and combine it with the Black Soul Magic Tower of the seventh ring.
Imitating the Star Ring of Hundred Flowers and the Summer Flower Tower, I crafted a combined magical artifact.
Repair the Black Soul Magic Tower again and use it as Wizard Tower for now.
Take this opportunity to practice and familiarize yourself with the process in preparation for building your own Wizard Tower in the future.
Without hesitation, Levi immediately began his secluded cultivation and refining process.
Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Nora Calendar year 387.
Blood War 173 years.
Unbeknownst to them, only thirty years remain until the Ancient Tower opens again.
Middle Earth Continent.
Gondor City, Fire Dragon Shop.
The surging power of fire element stirred up the winds and clouds of heaven and earth, with crimson clouds filling the sky and flames dancing in the air.
Everyone peered out of the Wizard Tower, their faces filled with shock.
But that's not all.
A sudden surge of Frost power swept across the land, like a north wind sweeping through!
A cold wave, cold wind, frost, Snowflake —a multitude of celestial phenomena intertwined, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
The area within a radius of more than twenty miles was dyed red and blue.
On one side is a fiery Hell, swept by scorching winds; on the other is Realm of Frost, Ice Age.
"This... dual cultivation of ice and fire, it's Fire Dragon Master!"
"Has this day finally arrived?"
"Master, you've only been at the Sixth Ring for less than five hundred years, and you've already advanced to the seventh ring? That's too fast!"
"What do you know? This is already considered slow for a top genius like the Master. I suspect that the Master deliberately delayed his advancement in order to imprint more witch marks."
"That's what genius is all about. We're all eager to get nine witch marks as soon as possible and then rush to advance, racing against time, but others are unhurried and still have room for choice."
The world of red and blue, like a yin-yang symbol, rolls and rotates, causing a rolling tide of elements to form over Gondor City.
At the Dawn Tower, Victor sat at home, the secret sword before him gathering power.
If any enemy were to take this opportunity to interfere with the Holy Infant's advancement, he would surely kill them with swift and decisive action.
Upon closer inspection, the yin-yang symbol appears to have a slightly larger flame portion than Frost portion, clearly indicating a lack of balance.
Although it doesn't affect my promotion, it still doesn't feel quite right.
Victor murmured:
"The Primal Chaos Holy Emperor once said that the balance of Yin and Yang is the ultimate principle of the Great Dao..."
Half a day later.
All those elemental tides surged into the Fire Dragon Shop.
The purple Origin Soul, its form shifting and undulating, stood in the void, its form unpredictable.
A purple dragon, stretching for a thousand meters, coiled around it, its deep purple scales gleaming with an aura of nobility.
The dragon's smooth mane billowed in the wind, and its eyes scanned the lurking presences within Gondor City Twin Dragons.
A tall tree catches the wind; not everyone can respect Fire Dragon Master.
There are always some people who would love for Fire Dragon Master to fail in his advancement, thus becoming a fallen genius and never recovering.
Sensing the dragon's gaze, those gazes all withdrew, and silent sighs echoed Gondor City.
They knew that their wishful thinking had failed once again.
Fire Dragon Ace successfully advanced to the seventh ring, leaving a large number of wizards behind on his path to pursuing truth.
From then on, he joined the ranks of Gondor City's top warriors.
Looking across the Wizard World, it's also at the upper part of the pyramid, getting closer and closer to those at the top.
The most terrifying thing is that, with Fire Dragon Master's talent, he might not fail to advance to the eighth ring.
These ill-intentioned individuals have no chance of ever reaching their level.
Among them were spies from the Myriad Races Council.
"Fire Dragon Ace's momentum is unstoppable."
"Yes, let's report to Lord Serpent."
Seeing Ace successfully advance, Victor retrieved his fully charged secret sword and continued his own training.
"Now, only Gandalf is left."
Only after stepping into the Seventh Ring Road did I realize how wonderful this realm is.
This is especially true for top geniuses.
Among the powerful figures active in the various schools of thought and the warp realms of the Wizard World, very few pose a threat to them.
Apart from a few top wizarding organization leaders, Eighth Ring Wizard, and Great Wizard, all of them hold important positions in the Central Realm.
To some extent, the seventh ring represents the pinnacle of combat power in the world.
In fact, with the strength of the Three Heroes of Gondor, they could easily secure a very good position in the Central Realm.
However, they heeded the original master's warning: they could cooperate with the authorities, but they must never join them.
Fire Dragon Shop.
The Holy Infant opened its eyes, and the aura of the Seven Rings erupted.
Although he lacked a sense of danger, he relied on his instinctive perception as Primal Soul Wizard.
It could also sense some small fish and shrimp, which seemed to be somewhat hostile towards it.
That was just a minor warning to them.
"Seven rings... I can finally rebuild my Artifact Forging!"
The Holy Infant was deeply moved.
"No rush. First, I'll stabilize my realm and then refine the [Winter Emperor's Hand] to balance my Ice Fire Holy Body."
The Holy Infant felt a headache coming on as he sensed the unstable Origin Soul within his mind.
As he advanced to the seventh ring, this feeling of imbalance intensified.
"We still need to be careful in the future. Ice and fire are incompatible. If they cannot develop in a balanced way, they will inevitably damage my foundation in the long run. We cannot just rush things."
Generally speaking, those dual-cultivation wizards either use earth and fire, wind and thunder, or water and ice...
In short, there are very few water and fire, ice and fire, and the Holy Infant is an exception.
"Congratulations, Master!"
Ya Lishan Zhuo and Aisley, who were in seclusion, also sensed this change brought about by the advancement and both woke up.
The passionate Red Dragon Queen couldn't resist giving the Holy Infant a hug.
The Holy Infant laughed heartily and took a step back.
"I've already reached the seventh ring; ladies, keep up the good work!"
Aisley pinched Ya Lishan Zhuo's arm.
"Pay attention to your image."
"Master, you should consolidate your cultivation first. We won't disturb you any longer. By the way, I recently crafted a top-grade magical artifact myself."
Ya Lishan Zhuo pouted and said, "Now the whole city knows that you've forged a top-grade witch artifact."
The Holy Infant encouraged, "Excellent! Only those who can refine top-quality items can be called mature Sixth Ring Artifact Forging, and it is also Proof of Glory of every Artifact Forging."
Top-grade magical artifacts are extremely rare and hard to come by.
Of course, he's an exception.
Next, Silver Beard, Tie Ya, Copper Ear, and Gold Eye also came to offer their congratulations.
"Congratulations, store manager."
The Holy Infant said, "Everyone has worked hard. How is the progress on the Alchemy creature?"
They said, "The Thunder God Weapon, the Ice Divine Weapon, and the Gold Divine Weapon have all been forged. We also brought the Nicholas God Model from the Dawn Tower and reforged it. Next, we can combine them to advance to a seventh-ring Alchemy creature, the Titan."
The Holy Infant said:
"Okay, after some time, I will work with everyone to refine this artwork that represents the highest level of ancient Alchemy."
The reason it is described as ancient times is that after the advent of mechanical roads, the traditional Alchemy School had actually transformed.
Alchemy was originally modeled after the Mechanical School, and now that there is the right path ahead, it is natural to follow the right track.
Mechanical biology is the true representative of advanced technology.
Therefore, the Titan Giant God Soldier were the last glorious achievement of ancient Alchemy creatures.
Everything should have a beginning and an end. The Holy Infant refined it can be considered as fulfilling the wish of the wizard Lemay.
Looking at the seventh-ringed Fire Dragon Master, the treasure maker Xi An felt a strange joy in his heart.
She felt that she had joined an organization that was constantly moving forward and on the rise.
Under this trend, even she might be able to ride the wave and go further than if she had gone alone.
A year later, with his cultivation stabilized, the Holy Infant left Gondor City and looked back at the small apothecary.
"Old man, you're the only one left. Good luck with your efforts."
The Darkness Zone.
The Snake Envoy listened quietly to his subordinate's report, his mind as calm as still water.
"He got seven rings! Hahaha, I lost..."
It suddenly looked up and laughed, as if it had been relieved.
The Snake Envoy recalls its entire life.
It possesses the bloodline of some ancient behemoth, the Komodo Lizard, which is why it calls itself the "Komodo Serpent".
From a small snake, he gradually grew into the overlord of a world, reaching the seventh level.
Later, in pursuit of eternal life, it became the master of its own world.
It carefully sheltered its world, living a peaceful and undisturbed life in this Darkness Zone.
Everything should have been perfect.
Until the Plane Convergence began, its world began to collapse uncontrollably.
It could sense that its own world will was also weakening.
It has fallen from a late-stage level 7 powerhouse to the early stage level 7.
Not long ago, the world's will entered a period of dormancy.
Next, this world will become a part of Nora.
It will also vanish into thin air and never exist again.
Over the centuries, it witnessed the Fire Dragon Master rise from Fifth Ring wizard to a seventh-ring wizard, becoming one of its own.
As a top genius, Fire Dragon Ace's strength is most likely even greater than his own when he is exhausted.
In its view, wizarding geniuses led by the fire dragon Ace are the most typical symbol of Wizard Civilization.
Hypocrite, plunderer, colonizer, destroyer, Arrogance...
It didn't hate the fire dragon Ace, it hated the Wizard World! A high and unfathomable voice rang in the Snake Envoy's ear.
"Are you prepared? You will surely die after this battle."
The Snake Envoy said, "My lord, I am ready."
The voice said:
"Alright, in a few years, when your world intersects with Nora's, take this potion. It will allow you to temporarily escape the constraints of the plane and exist. Remember, you only have one day. After that, you will vanish into nothingness, even your soul will dissipate... I don't recommend that you kill the Fire Dragon Ace. Your death might be meaningless. Currently, the organization's danger rating for the Fire Dragon Ace is [7+]. Only an eighth-level expert can reliably take it down. Of course, everyone has their own obsessions. You've been following me for a long time, and I respect your choice."
The Snake Envoy resolutely said, "My lord, I understand. I still want to find the Fire Dragon Ace. If I can take him to Hell, that would be best. If not, I will try to drag as many wizards as possible Hell."
The voice paused for a moment, then said:
I wish you success.
Nora, 388.
Ancient Dragon Continent.
Within the fairy realm, the Holy Infant took the Winter Emperor's Hand.
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Levi instructed him to refine the essence within the Immortal Realm.
In any case, the Holy Infant can't do anything else while refining the rare item, so it doesn't matter where it is refined.
The Holy Infant naturally agreed and began refining his first Full Moon Wonder.
Levi continued his research on the Black Soul Magic Tower.
Two years later.
Nora, 390.
Within the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, in the Little Frost Mountain region, the surging power of Frost awakens the slumbering Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant.
During this time, it has been exploring the Nightmare World, and is exhausted both physically and mentally.
The butterfly effect of the War of the Rebellion of the Eight Kings gradually spread towards Black Dragon Territory.
Over the years, the members of the Dragon Palace have experienced one battle after another.
High in the sky, a figure in purple robes sat beneath the firmament.
A Origin Soul, both real and illusory, was surrounded by a Tai Chi diagram formed by blue and crimson fire elemental power.
This time, the powers of ice and fire are finally basically balanced, appearing harmonious and unified.
In just two years, the Holy Infant, who had only recently advanced to the seventh ring, has gained even more momentum.
Within the Origin Soul, those solidified organs shone with a unique luster.
His right arm was engulfed in raging crimson flames, distorting space.
Frost clung to my left arm, its white petals scattered across the sky.
The Holy Infant casually unleashed a Fire Dragon Tribulation and an Ice Dragon Prison.
An ice dragon formed a domain that froze everything, within which a fire dragon spun and roared.
"It's even more powerful now. With the added effects of so many rare items, it's in no way inferior to a senior seventh-ring wizard."
The Holy Infant then placed his hand on the Klein Crystal Ball.
[Mental Strength: 7260/12060]
"My mental strength has also increased by nearly two hundred points, saving me decades of arduous cultivation. This is the power of the Full Moon Wonder. Now I have more time to focus on refining weapons."
"The affinity of the Ice Fire Holy Body for the elements has increased once again. With my current talent, I should be able to advance to the seventh ring senior level within two hundred years, with the help of Nether Soul Jujube and Soul Stone."
"Unfortunately, no accompanying spirit object was born from this refining process, but this little guy, [Snow King], seems to have undergone a change."
The Holy Infant's consciousness arrived inside the seventh level of the Law Ring Holy Tower.
The Lion King was fast asleep, Luo Man was curled up in a corner, and the snake's head was buried in the corner.
It was bullied, and the culprit was none other than the Lion King.
Of course, the Lion King was just joking with Luo Man, but the difference in strength between the two was too great.
Although it was just playing around, its big paws could easily send poor, helpless Luo Man flying against the tower wall.
The Holy Infant awakened the Lion King, grabbed Lion King by the mane, and scolded, "Don't bully Luo Man, you rascal."
Companion spirits are not living beings in the true sense; they have no soul, but they all have their own instincts and personalities.
The side effect of having too many spiritual things in one's mind is this—it's a happy kind of trouble.
At this moment, Snow King was in the corner, looking at his left arm with a puzzled expression.
Its round body had the arms of a muscleman, with bulging veins, like the arms of a unicorn.
This is the mutation that occurred after refining the Winter Emperor's Hand.
Snow King, the companion spirit obtained from the [Cold King Sequence], seems to have undergone a second evolution.
The Holy Infant could sense that the Snow King's Qilin Arm contained an extremely terrifying power.
With a single punch, even an ordinary seventh-ring wizard would probably not dare to take it head-on.
When we go to the God Forsaken Continent to hunt demons, we can test its effects.
"Ace, go back to Gondor City. Next, upgrade all the top-grade magical artifacts you have and mine. Take all the materials from these level seven demons."
Over the years of hunting demons, Levi has accumulated a mountain of high-level demon materials.
Aside from keeping a portion for his own Potion Making, he gave all of them to Ace, so that they could be put to good use.
He left all the low- and mid-level cases to the various organizations to handle and process.
These resources will allow the Ancient Dragon Continent to achieve even greater long-term development.
The Holy Infant has left, and what follows is the joyful process of weapon crafting.
On my own side alone, there are five top-grade magical artifacts that need to be upgraded, including the [Falling Star Ring] and the [Snow Iron Dragon Armor].
Needless to say, those of my own Duobao Tongzi (a child of a wealthy and powerful family) also have their own advantages.
Several months later.
Nora.
The Outer Sea Land.
Before they knew it, another medium-sized continent appeared on the sea.
Such things happen every now and then, and the wizards are already used to it.
Today, Nora is a third larger than it was before the Great Confluence, and this is just the beginning.
A group of young wizards from the Mortal Continent Wizard Academy were undergoing trials here.
As the first witnesses to this New Continent, some people were filled with excitement, seeing it as an opportunity.
Perhaps we can take this opportunity to make some gains in the New Continent, so we can quietly go and explore it.
Completely unaware, a figure in black robes appeared, none other than the disguised Snake Envoy.
"Is this Nora's scent?"
It casually unleashed several streaks of black light, instantly killing the group of young wizards.
Then it transformed into a small snake and, with a whoosh, burrowed into the body of one of the young wizards.
A moment later, the young wizard stretched his limbs, his face expressionless.
It used a secret method to conceal its aura, its eyes remaining calm.
"Fire Dragon Ace, we're finally going to meet!"
Gondor City.
With the help of an undercover agent, Snake Envoy successfully infiltrated the group.
Sensing the faint, yet powerful auras emanating from within the city, it felt a complex mix of emotions.
Can the ideals of the Myriad Races Council truly be realized? Instead of rushing to act, it leisurely strolled around the city, enjoying the unprecedentedly lively atmosphere.
"Heh, the Dawn Tower, the Fire Dragon Shop, Gandalf Pharmacy, the organization of the Three Heroes of Gondor..."
Rationally, it knew that its chances of successfully ambushing Gandalf were the highest.
Of the three, only Gandalf did not have the seventh ring.
But the Snake Envoy still kept his eyes on the Fire Dragon Shop.
Infiltrating the city to launch a sneak attack was undoubtedly a suicide attack.
Because it will soon alert other powerful individuals and the magic array in the city, it will be trapped inside and then destroyed.
So far, all those who have attempted to do so in Gondor City have failed without exception and none have escaped alive.
However, since it only had half a day left to live, it was naturally not afraid.
Fire Dragon Shop.
Ace is reforging his original Purple Light Sword, using Taigu amethyst as the main material.
The large piece of amethyst left behind by the Taigu, if used properly, would be enough for it to refine all the magical artifacts of its main body and its clones.
After all, not all magical artifacts require amethyst.
Suddenly, he moved and disappeared from the weapon-refining room.
A terrifying aura rose between heaven and earth.
Immediately afterwards, some exclamations came from outside.
But then, the magnificent display hall of the Fire Dragon Shop, which housed magical artifacts, collapsed with a crash.
Some customers who were visiting the store fled in panic.
A giant black snake, almost filling the entire building, exuded boundless venom and flicked its tongue.
Many wizards were devoured on the spot by it.
The magic circle shone brightly, enveloping the Fire Dragon Shop.
In the locations of those weapon-refining rooms, the light of a seven-ring magic array was even more dazzling.
Thanks to the protection of these magic arrays, the weapon-refining area, where customers were not allowed to enter, remained unharmed.
However, the public areas have been reduced to ruins.
No matter how strong the magic array is, it cannot prevent a suicidal sneak attack from within.
Strands of Origin Soul energy flew out from the weapon-refining room.
Multicolored attacks flew towards the giant snake.
In order to avoid large-scale casualties, everyone's offensive was very restrained.
Throughout Gondor City, various protective magic arrays lit up one after another.
Above the city, there was a giant magic array that sealed everything off.
Beneath the Firmament, the giant serpent wreaked havoc.
When a level seven expert can disregard life and death, the consequences are very serious.
"Hahaha, die, die!"
"Poor wretches, if it weren't for the fire dragon Ace living here, you wouldn't have been affected."
The Snake Envoy's frenzied roar echoed throughout the city.
"Snow King!"
A white snowball shot out and appeared above the giant snake's head.
The Snake Envoy had studied the Holy Infant's fighting methods for a long time and naturally knew that this was his companion spirit.
"It's no use! Although I have fallen in cultivation level, I am not someone that a mere companion spirit can shake."
Its tail swept horizontally, and it spat out a destructive black light from its mouth, shooting it towards the Fire Dragon Master.
The Snow Iron Dragon Armor materialized, barely managing to withstand the terrifying attack.
Fine cracks appeared on its surface.
Even a top- Sixth Ring magical artifact couldn't withstand the attack of a powerful being like the Snake Envoy.
The Holy Infant's expression changed slightly. He hadn't even had time to upgrade his magical artifact before he encountered this unexpected turn of events.
Fortunately, the materials used in Snow Iron Dragon Armor are mostly of the seventh-grade level, so there's no major problem.
It had already been damaged several times in previous battles with demons, but it can still be used after being patched up.
At the same time, the Snow King's size increased dramatically.
It transformed from a snowball into a Frost Giant standing a kilometer tall!
The giant's shape closely resembles the statue of David, possessing an artistic and philosophical beauty.
However, its head was still a round ball...
The giant's left arm, with its bulging muscles.
"The Winter Emperor's Fist!"
Boom! The power of endless Frost erupted, instantly engulfing the thousand-meter-long giant snake.
Crackling, crackling! The sound of ice forming came from the ice.
The giant serpent's body transformed into an ice sculpture frozen in mid-air.
The Snake Envoy not only shock but also sorrow and despair in me.
"Even I am no match for his companion spirit now..."
It desperately burned its own power, trying its best to make the fire dragon Ace remember this day forever! Fine cracks filled the surface of the ice sculpture, and dark mist seeped out from it.
Click.
The ice sculpture cracked, Snake Envoy regained its freedom.
With its still-frozen body, it charged towards the fire dragon Ace, intending to injure him with a self-destruction! A star-like beam of light shot out.
A delicate, secret sword pierced through the Snake Envoy's mouth.
Like a zipper being unzipped, the kilometer-long snake body was torn apart inch by inch by the incomparably sharp golden elemental sword energy.
Then, the Snake Envoy's body was split in two.
A fragmented snake spirit flew out.
The Snake Envoy roared to the sky in resentment, then took another punch from the Snow King and vanished into thin air.
From the moment the Snake Envoy attacked to its eventual annihilation, everything happened in the blink of an eye.
It had originally intended to cause as much damage as possible within Gondor City by engaging in a fierce battle with the fire dragon Ace.
Unexpectedly, Snow King extinguished the fire with a single punch.
The terrifying power of the Frost rendered it unable to move.
Then, a sword from Victor entered the snake's mouth and tore it in two from the inside.
Victor had done this many times before and was quite adept at it.
The Snake Envoy its massive body down to the ground.
The Holy Infant' face showed neither sorrow nor joy.
It was obvious that the other party was a powerful figure from the Myriad Races Council.
Level seven is already at the Envoy Level.
The Myriad Races Council actually dispatched messengers to launch a suicide attack against them.
No wonder they've been lying low and haven't made a move yet.
It turns out they wanted to take advantage of my relaxed vigilance and strike directly in the safest place.
Unfortunately, he had already reached the seventh ring and had even refined the Full Moon Wonder.
Even without Victor's intervention, he was absolutely confident that he could kill this man.
However, his methods have too wide a range of damage and are not suitable for use within the city, otherwise innocent people may be harmed.
Fortunately, the Fire Dragon Shop does a very good job of protecting the weapon refiners.
The weapon-refining area is protected by a seven-ring magic array, and no outsiders are allowed to enter.
In addition, the battle ended quickly.
Therefore, the damage caused by this terrorist attack was not significant.
The biggest losses are suffered by the innocent customers who are caught in the crossfire.
These follow-up tasks must be done well, otherwise it will affect the reputation of my Fire Dragon Shop.
However, upon seeing the enormous corpse of the level seven serpent, the Holy Infant suddenly felt that this wave of events hadn't been a complete loss.
"These are excellent materials for refining weapons. At its peak, this giant serpent should not only be at the early stage of level seven, but at least at the late stage of level seven."
In the sky.
The Gondor City, who was in seclusion, was also awakened by the shockwaves caused by the terrorist attack.
He frowned as he arrived at the Fire Dragon Shop.
"Ace, are you alright?"
The Holy Infant said, "I'm fine, but the enemy's attack caused some accidental injuries. I'm considering whether to move the Fire Dragon Shop to other areas to avoid encountering this situation again and endangering innocent lives."
The Gondor City said, "It's alright, you can stay in Gondor City, there's no need to go anywhere else... I'll use this as an excuse to apply to the central government for a high-grade military treasure. I've applied several times before, but they haven't allocated it. That thing is too expensive to make and scarce, and some people are always reluctant to let rogue wizard cities use it. I'd like to see what excuse they'll use this time. If we lose a high-level talent like you, it means we've personally buried the seed of Great Wizard!"
The Holy Infant was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, City Lord!"
