The Strongest! Blood-Dark Dragon King! The Might of the Sword Formation!
Bloodscale Venerable is a high- Blood Clan.
And this Luo Wei is a wizard of the Death School.
Pureblood Blood Clan, as the first race to invade the Wizard World, are known as "dark creatures" along with Werewolf, Ghoul, and other evil forces.
These races are absolutely evil to humans, no different from demons or devils.
This wizard, Luo Wei, was secretly colluding with high-ranking Blood Clan.
In fact, the Blood Vortex Venerable's true form, the Vortex Beast, although an ancient and exotic species belonging to the insect class, has some connection with the Blood River World, but it is not considered Blood Clan.
Bloodscale Venerable said:
"The bloodline of this Blood Fiend Bat Dragon can be traced back to the strongest Dragonkind in ancient times, [Blood Dark Dragon King - Odysseus]. This dragon is the strongest negative energy dragon in history, even the Red Lotus Dragon is inferior to it."
The Bloodshadow Dragon King was too powerful, and he gave birth to a large number of legendary Dragonkind, such as the Blood Sea Dragon, Blood Dragon Beast, Ender Dragon, Dark Energy Dragon, Nether Prison Dragon, and Dark Black Dragon.
Among the aforementioned Dragonkind, the Blood Sea Dragon and the Blood Dragon Beast inherited the Bloodshadow Dragon King's strongest blood abilities. These two dragons also gave birth to many Dragon Spawn, some strong and some weak. Among them, the best are the Blood Dragon Beast's Dragon Spawn [Vampire Dragon] and the Blood Sea Dragon's Dragon Spawn [Blood Fiend Bat Dragon], both of which have the potential to advance to level eight.
But even with the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon and you alone, you might not be able to kill the Twilight Hall Master. Even if you are a whole realm higher than him, it's not guaranteed. The Twilight Hall Master has escaped from the clutches of Eighth Level Demon more than once.
He is skilled in traversing the void and possesses various life-saving techniques. He is cautious by nature and will certainly not engage in direct combat with you. Therefore, how to keep him is a problem.
As far as I know, in the Eighth Layer of Hell, there is a level eight adult [Black Prison Beast]. This beast is Dragon Spawn of [Nether Prison Dragon], and is most skilled in the spatial arts of sealing off enemies.
"If you use it well, and set up an ambush, even if the Twilight Hall Master has immense abilities, he won't be able to escape."
Luo Wei frowned and said, "What do you mean? You want me to go to the Eighth Layer of Hell to find that Black Prison Beast? I am only at the seventh level of cultivation. Even if I encounter it, I will not be able to subdue it. Although my main body is at the eighth level, I am trapped in the plane and it is inconvenient for me to leave."
Bloodscale Venerable said:
"Just go ahead. Hell is the gateway to the Underworld. My Blood God was once the Nether Emperor. He naturally has connections in Hell. That person is a friend of the Black Prison Beast. I'll put in a good word for you. Take some gifts to that person and make some arrangements. He will surely give the Blood God face."
Besides, you don't need to subdue that Black Prison Beast. That Black Prison Beast is arrogant and never submits to anyone; it would rather die than be forced to yield. You only need to get it to cooperate with your actions. Compared to a single Turtle King Fruit, all your efforts are insignificant."
Luo Wei for a moment.
"That's more like it."
Bloodscale Venerable said:
"If you kill the Twilight Hall Master, you can exchange his head for a reward, but you must give me his body; I have a great use for it."
Luo Wei said, "Don't worry, I will definitely act according to the agreement. If the Black Prison Beast is willing to take action, there shouldn't be any problem."
Not long after.
Wizard Luo Wei then led the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon deep into the Eighth Layer of Hell to search for the Black Prison Beast. He had to hurry, lest the other Venerables of the Council beat him to it.
Ancient Dragon Continent.
Levi, who was studying the Divine Talisman Way, suddenly frowned.
On the pig's face of the Fool Rune, a bloody scene appears, along with a chilling aura of death and the wailing of the dead.
"Blood Light?"
Levi muttered to himself.
"Judging from this deathly aura, this enemy is either related to the Death School or to Hell. However, I haven't caused trouble in Hell for a long time, so those dukes shouldn't be thinking about me every day... That must be that person from the Death School, Wizard Luo Wei!"
Levi analyzed the omens and quickly guessed who the enemy was.
"Whatever, I'll just stay here and cultivate in the Ancient Dragon Continent. I won't go anywhere for now. Even if he wants to kill me, what can he do to me? If he dares to come to the Ancient Dragon Continent, that would be an open attack on me, a Primal Soul Wizard. After that, he will have no place to stand in the Necromancy Tower."
"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that this person is a spy from the Myriad Races Council, so he may kill me and then escape from the Wizard World. We still need to be on guard."
"Moreover, judging from this rather intense sense of danger, Luo Wei must have an eighth-level trump card, which he himself, with his seventh-ring perfect cultivation, could not possibly achieve."
Levi then ordered all departments to strengthen their vigilance and inspected the seven-ring formation [Ten Directions Absolute Prison Heavenly Dragon Formation] set up around the Emperor Palace. This was a new seven-ring level formation that he had researched based on his earlier [Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon Array] and [Purgatory Nine Dragons Array].
The Ten Directions of the Prison are Earth-Fire Wind-Water, Water; Frost, Thunder, Metal; Shadow; Death; and Light.
Although no one was assigned to oversee the array's core, it was still top-tier within the seven-ring formation, capable of trapping even an eighth-level expert for a short time. As for the array's core, Levi didn't plan to use the previous Dragonkind or other extraordinary creatures; he was waiting for the Alchemy creature developed by the Fire Dragon Skycraft.
Giant Soldier - Titan! Titan is a composite seven-ring Alchemy creature composed of Alchemy beings from the seven elemental factions. A single Titan is enough to suppress the seven Hell and enhance the power of the magic array.
The Shadow Hell is overseen by Levi's own Shadow Dragon Multitude, which goes without saying.
The Death Hell, with Levi's [Black Soul Magic Tower] and its countless undead within, is even more formidable.
The final Hell of Light is just there to fill a quota; it's mainly for dealing with potential demon attacks and is rarely used.
With his strength, plus the assistance of the Seventh Ring Magic Array, the Black Soul Magic Tower, Lope, and the Dragonkin Giant, even if someone were to reach level eight, he could put up a fight, and might even be able to turn the tables and kill them.
If the enemy can't kill him instantly, then presumably the big shots who are watching the Ancient Dragon Continent won't stand idly by. He has also made considerable contributions to the council.
The fungi and Green Clan he handed over, the experimental equipment and data from the Dharma Destroyer Project, the numerous demons he hunted, and the talent he displayed... these were all his bargaining chips. Those in the Supreme Council certainly understood which were more important.
With this thought in mind, Levi calmed down and continued his cultivation.
Middle Earth Continent.
Gondor City.
Fire Dragon Skycraft.
Inside the weapon-forging room, seven secret swords, gleaming with crimson and purple light, floated in mid-air in the formation of the Big Dipper Seven Stars, exuding an astonishing sharpness.
The sword is covered with countless miniature magic arrays and runes; an ordinary person who glances at it would be overwhelmed by its profound mystery.
Around two of the secret swords, an extraordinary phenomenon, the kind only seen with top-grade magical artifacts, emanated: with a single sword strike, stars rained down! Victor muttered incantations and snapped his fingers.
All seven secret swords rushed into his mind.
He said, "Thank you. Five fine swords and two top-quality swords are more than enough. With this sword formation, I am even confident that I can fight against a seventh-ring perfected sword."
Holy Infant breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "This Seven Stars Sword Array is the most expensive witch artifact I have ever forged in my life. Putting aside the seven level-eight blood scales and the level-seven late-stage amethyst, which are priceless treasures, the other miscellaneous expenses exceeded one billion, enough to buy an eight-ring witch artifact. Hahaha, you'd better take good care of it from now on."
Victor remarked:
"That's for sure. In the history of the Wizard World, apart from the Wizard Tower, there probably has never been such a precious seventh-ring wizarding artifact. Once the Godfall Celestial Star Thirteen Killing Sword Array is completed, I can't even imagine its power."
The Holy Infant said, "Go to the Nightmare World first to test the power of the sword formation. If it needs adjustment, we can modify it. Don't go to the God Forsaken Continent to hunt demons, or it will be too late if problems arise."
Victor nodded and left.
He opened the Demon Slaying Ranking and spent decades in seclusion refining weapons; Gandalf had already surpassed him in the rankings.
Now that the sword formation has been created, he is both offensive and defensive, and his killing prowess is unparalleled. It won't be long before he catches up.
On the Seventh Level Demon Slaying Ranking, the supernova Link, with his advanced Sixth Ring cultivation, broke into the top fifty, trampling a group of perfect Sixth Ring under his feet.
This made Victor smile knowingly, thinking to himself that this kid was not bad.
It seems that in another hundred or two hundred years, Link will also be able to achieve the Sixth Ring. At that time, he should be able to break into the top ten, aim for the top three, and bring great glory to the Metallurgy School.
Victor has been a seventh-ring cultivator for over a hundred years, and his mental strength has now surpassed the 8,000 mark, making him not far from becoming a senior seventh-ring cultivator.
After emerging from seclusion, his first task was to hunt demons and earn battle merits. Once he could exchange the Full Moon Wonder for it, he could reach the seventh ring of advanced cultivation in about a hundred years, and his cultivation would be much faster thereafter.
After finishing with Victor's affairs, the Holy Infant didn't rest either. He had been at the seventh ring for sixty years, and apart from basic cultivation, he had been refining weapons for his main body and Victor. Now he could finally refine some for himself.
After decades of honing his skills, he can now consistently produce high-quality 7-ring items, with a high success rate for top-tier items.
His commonly used magical artifacts, such as the Purgatory Nine Dragons Umbrella, the Frost Sky Seven Feather Fan, and the Snow Iron Dragon Armor, all need to be upgraded. Once they are all upgraded to the seventh ring, he will cooperate with Victor and Gandalf to continue hunting demons and cultivating in the God Forsaken Continent.
He already possesses the Ice Fire Holy Body, allowing him to cultivate at an extremely fast pace. Currently, his spiritual power is over 7700 points. If he can advance further through the Full Moon Wonder, advancing to the eighth ring will be much easier, and he will have more time to imprint the witch mark.
Nightmare World.
Black Death City.
One of the Eight Kings, the Black Death King, resides here.
Under the Black Death King, there are nearly thirty territories of varying sizes, and more than fifty Nightmare Lord, including nine Level 7 powerhouses, known as the "Black Death Nine Disciples."
However, not long ago, a piece of bad news reached Black Death City.
The seventh and eighth disciples of the Black Death Nine Disciples were actually killed by the little-known general of the Black Dragon Territory.
According to the soldiers who escaped.
The Black Dragon Territory is guarded by a late-stage level seven giant ape, three thousand meters tall, who calls himself "Sky Splitting Staff - Lope". Its staff technique is unparalleled, its strength is immense, and its bravery is awe-inspiring, capable of defeating ten thousand troops.
On the contrary, the Black Dragon Lord is not worth mentioning. Although he commands a large Dragonkind army, its numbers are small, and most of them are level five or six, making it difficult to change the course of the battle.
On the throne.
A strange man with shifty eyes, a rat's head, covered in black fur, and a rat's tail, dressed in a black robe, exuded a fierce aura.
"You bunch of useless trash, you can't even take down the Black Dragon Territory. Who else is willing to go to the Black Dragon Territory for me, take down the Black Dragon Lord, and drive those outsiders out of the Nightmare World forever?"
The disciples and generals below remained silent.
Lope's prowess clearly left a deep impression on them.
"Does this mean I, the king, must personally lead the expedition?"
The Black Death King naturally dared not leave easily. Now, with the eight kings fighting each other, the Yellow Fever King, the Dengue King, and the Cholera King were all eyeing his territory covetously.
At this moment, an unusually fat rat-man stepped forward, patted his belly, and said, "Let me go in your place, brother. It's been a long time since I've fought a strong person, and I'm itching to do it."
Black Death King:
"Shuo Shu, you... fine, go ahead. You can command these disciples as you please, and I'll give you another 100,000 Black Death soldiers."
The Shuo Shu was its adopted younger brother, whose strength was at the peak of level seven.
Previously, he had single-handedly killed several of Yellow Fever King's level 7 subordinates, including some late-stage level 7 powerhouses.
If it goes, with the help of a few disciples, it should be no problem to take down Lope.
Soon, the Shuo Shu, along with his four disciples, gathered an army of 100,000 elite soldiers and charged menacingly towards Black Dragon Territory.
Black Dragon Territory.
"The Black Death King's army is approaching! Assemble immediately!"
"Quickly, go and fetch General Lope!"
"Heavenly Dragon General, Earth Dragon General, assemble!"
Upon hearing the news that the Black Death King was about to arrive, Lope rushed over, bone club in hand, eager to try.
The "Ape King's Compendium," bestowed upon it by its master, had already been mastered and achieved some success. The last great battle against the Black Death King's army was simply not satisfying; it ended before it even had a chance to warm up.
Before long, the Dragon Palace troops quickly assembled, each one exuding an imposing aura and radiating Dragon Might might.
The Black Lotus Beast, which had recently advanced to the late stage of level six, stood at the front of the formation, leading the Dragon Palace troops.
As an elder of the Dragon Palace, the Black Lotus Beast, though not the highest in cultivation level, still held considerable prestige and was bestowed the title of "Heaven Lotus Dragon General" by the Dragon King.
With the help of Dragon Spawn Fire-Breathing Dragon Fierce Scale Dragon to share the burden, its growth is progressing more smoothly. Once it reaches its full adult form, it can reach peak level eight strength, and there's still considerable room for improvement.
Thanks to the Dragon Scale Fruit, the second brother, the Vampire Dragon, is closely following in the footsteps of his eldest brother, the Black Lotus Beast, and is not far from reaching the late stage of level six, earning the title of [Heaven Speed Dragon General]. The third sister, the [Heaven Cry Dragon General] Infant Dragon, is also currently at the mid-stage of level six, not to be outdone.
The [Heaven Serpent Dragon General] Serpent King Dragon, having advanced to the peak of Level 6, is the only Level 6 Dragon Spawn capable of fighting against the Black Lotus Beast. Its complete form is at Level 7, and it will reach adulthood in a few hundred years.
[Heaven Rampage Dragon General] Raging Electric Dragon Eel has also advanced to the late stage of level six. Together with his good brother [Heaven Tyrant Dragon General] Thunderstorm Wolf Dragon, they are known as the [Two Mad Generals] of the Dragon Palace. Both dragons are at level seven in their complete forms, and still have room for growth.
The Three-Eyed One Four-Eyed Shrimp Dragon has been given the title of "Heaven Crippled Dragon General" and is currently at the late stage of level six. Its complete form is level seven, and after advancing, its lost eyes may have a chance to be restored.
[Heaven Loss Dragon General] The Blue Marlin Dragon is already a mid-level level 6 creature. It excels at underwater combat and guards the lakes and marshes outside Black Dragon Territory year-round. It is known as "Blue Streak in the Waves".
[Heaven Tiger Dragon General] Fierce Scale Dragon, with an explosive personality, is one of only two female dragons in Heavenly Dragon General, making it extremely rare, but so far no dragon has been able to subdue it.
However, the most impressive ones are the level seven dragon generals.
The Snow Mountain Dragon King possesses mid-stage seventh-level cultivation; it is essentially in its complete form, with the peak of seventh level being its limit. Its title is [Heaven Kill Dragon General].
The Earth Rend Dragon is also at the mid-stage of level seven, and is at its complete form, with the title of "Heaven Mountain Dragon General".
Both the four-legged lizard and the Fire-Breathing Dragon are at the early stage of level seven, and both are in their complete form, with little room for improvement. They are respectively the [Heaven Water Dragon General] and the [Heaven Fire Dragon General].
As for the Wind Dust Dragon, it is still sleeping and it is unknown when it will wake up and be granted the title of [Heaven Leisure Dragon General].
Bone dragons, being essentially undead creatures, are not considered traditional Dragonkind and therefore are not included.
Moreover, they all serve on the Ancient Dragon Continent, responsible for guarding that area, and have no time to conquer the Nightmare World.
Of course, other extraordinary beings also have other titles and reward systems, and are also members of the Dragon Palace. The Dragon King treats them all equally, but they are not included in the Earth Dragon General.
A total of 14 Heavenly Dragon General roamed between heaven and earth, their dragon Dragon Might connecting to form a vast expanse of dragon scale clouds, subtly creating an invincible aura domain within a radius of a hundred miles.
Other Nightmare Lord of the Black Dragon Territory, leading vast armies of Nightmare Creature, also arrived to defend their territories.
Before long, a vast, dark mass of enemy troops surged forth from the horizon, like a giant wave! Leading them was a fat, giant rat at the peak of level seven. It stood upright, wielding a scythe, its face gleaming with ferocity.
Four disciples stood in a row beside him, the weakest of whom was at the mid-stage of level seven, and two of them were at the late stage of level seven.
Within the army, there are more than ten level-six lords.
Currently, the two sides are evenly matched. Black Dragon Territory Black Dragon Territory the advantage in level six experts, but it is inferior in terms of top-level combat power, with only Lope being a late-stage level seven expert.
Lope remained completely calm and said indifferently:
"Go and fetch Ms. Triss, and then tell the master about this."
There are also level seven experts in Black Dragon Territory, but they are all guarding other territories and cannot attend to this place.
Before long, a witch dressed in a blue robe, with an elegant and mature demeanor, descended gracefully. She said:
"I'm here, but judging from the situation, the Black Dragon Lord will have to come in person."
The enemy has one peak level 7, two late level 7, and two mid level 7. This fighting force is enough to sweep away any high-level wizard organization in the Wizard World, and we must deal with it with caution.
Lope said, "Leave the peak level seven to me. Madam, can you hold your own against the late level seven for a while? Once I've dealt with the formidable enemy, I'll come and help you."
Triss said:
"Of course, no problem."
Five hundred years after advancing to the seventh ring, she now bears nine witch marks, already meeting the standard for the perfect seventh ring. However, her spiritual power is still somewhat lacking, and she should be able to advance within another hundred years.
With her companion spirit [Blue Knight], projection [Black Queen], and level-eight treasure [Magic Dragon Whip], she could put up a fight against even the peak level seven, let alone the late level seven.
Lope said, "There's still one more level seven late stage player. We'll have to ask the master or mistress to come... or we could ask Danis to come."
At that very moment.
But then, a sword light slashed through the sky, landing straight beside Lope. The man was handsome, dressed in a loose golden robe of the Qi Sect, his black hair flowing, his hands clasped behind his back, exuding an otherworldly aura. His style was completely different from everyone else present. He stood there like a sharp sword, with endless sword energy humming within him.
"I'll take the last one."
Victor laughed.
Lope and Triss exchanged a glance and said, "Okay!"
Although the person who came was only at the ordinary level of the seventh ring, he was Victor.
So they chose to believe.
Rumble! The massive army pressed forward, its momentum overwhelming.
The auras of countless powerful beings intertwined, forming a terrifying storm that swept across the heavens and earth.
The Shuo Shu said, "The Black Dragon Territory killed my Black Death King's envoy and deliberately provoked conflict. Today, I, the great general, will lead a large army to drive out you outsiders and raze the Black Dragon Territory to the ground!"
Lope laughed:
"Fat rat, take this!"
Its momentum was overwhelming. With one step, it transformed into a stream of water and appeared in front of the Shuo Shu army in an instant. The bone club actually transformed into a length of ten thousand meters and crashed down!
"Snort!"
The giant Shuo Shu general was not to be outdone; its fat transformed into devilish muscles, and it wielded the Grim Reaper's scythe! The clash of blades and the wind from its staff created shockwaves that ripped through the clouds and the earth!
"Kill! Whoever takes the head of the Black Dragon Lord will be richly rewarded!"
In an instant, the sounds of fighting filled the air.
Triss chose her third disciple, a late-stage level seven monster who resembled a hairless rat. He had red, wrinkled skin and was incredibly ugly. He was surrounded by black clouds, which were made up of millions of flying little rats, making one's scalp crawl.
The second disciple was a filthy monster covered in pustules, constantly oozing yellow fluid. It bared its large yellow teeth, and the foul-smelling liquid transformed into a raging river, charging towards the Dragon Palace's followers.
At the critical moment, seven stars descended from the sky, their starlight forming seven ethereal longswords that sliced through the yellow river teeming with plague and pathogens, causing it to fall to the ground, bubbling and hissing.
Victor appeared as if a sword immortal had descended to earth, surrounded by seven secret swords that formed an unbreakable defense.
Relying on the power of the sword formation, he actually withstood the attack of a late-stage level seven expert, which was a leap of two minor realms.
The second disciple was startled, not expecting that Black Dragon Territory would have such a master. It immediately manipulated the boundless yellow water, forming countless poisoned arrows that rained down upon the land.
"Venus!"
Victor pointed a finger, and a huge white star appeared behind him, within which an immortal could be seen dancing with a sword! "Sword Points to the Seven Stars!"
But then, seven beams of starlight sword energy emerged from the stars, annihilating everything in their path!
Boom! The sky full of poisoned arrows was completely destroyed by the sword energy. Moreover, a secret sword pierced through the head of the second disciple with a soft thud.
Bang! The second disciple turned into a cloud of pus, then reappeared, with yellow chains emerging from the void and grabbing at Victor.
"The Disease Chain!"
Surrounded by the Seven Swords, Victor transformed into an invisible and intangible golden sword aura, soaring straight into the sky! Unbeknownst to him, he had already stepped into the [Breaking Void] realm of the Qi Sect Dao, comprehended the [Shattering Formless Sword Qi] of the White Emperor Sword Sect, and achieved complete unity between man and sword, moving freely at will.
Victor felt his Art Power and spiritual power rapidly depleting, realizing that with his ordinary seventh-ring cultivation, he was still struggling to fully control the Celestial Star Sword Array. After all, he needed to control seven seventh-ring secret swords simultaneously, so he had to finish the battle quickly. It should be much easier once he reached the advanced seventh-ring level.
"Celestial Star Sword Array - Starry Sky!"
Then, within Firmament of several dozen miles around the second disciple, seven illusory stars, each a kilometer in diameter, lit up in succession. They formed a temporary large-scale magic array, using seven secret swords as the array's components, imprisoning the second disciple within.
"Godfall - Seven Stars Life Snatching!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...
Seven consecutive beams of sword energy, like the Big Dipper Seven Stars, were linked together, constantly refracting in the sky and forming a dense network of sword energy. The second disciple was trapped in the prison of sword energy and could not break free.
Victor was pale, but his eyes held a hint of pleasure.
"This is the sword formation I wanted!"
Boom! With a deafening explosion, the sword energy prison burst open.
A monster resembling a mountain of flesh flew out, its surface pockmarked and its aura weakened. As a late-stage Level 7 expert, the Second Disciple had never been so pathetic, being completely overwhelmed by an early-stage Level 7! "Sea of Pus Suffering!"
Endless yellow fluid flowed from its body, and thousands of small pustules emerged from the void, surrounding Victor.
"Burst!"
These small pustules suddenly burst open, triggering a chain reaction that enveloped an area of fifty miles in radius. Victor transformed into Shattering Formless Sword Qi, moving and weaving within it. Seven secret swords circled around him, their sword energy forming a protective barrier that shielded him.
"Die!"
The second disciple used a Meatball Impact and fell from the sky.
"Seven Swords Combined!"
The seven secret swords merged into one in an instant, becoming a giant starlight sword over three thousand meters long, soaring straight into the sky!
The flesh bomb collided with the greatsword. The greatsword shattered, breaking into seven swords that protected Victor as he fled. The flesh bomb was also pierced, and the Second Disciple's painful roar echoed from it.
"Die!"
It exploded completely, revealing a vast yellow ocean.
But then a figure flew out from the ocean; it was Victor.
The seven secret swords were somewhat dim, and the exquisite seven-ringed Dragon Locust Armor was pitted and worn, its Divine Light gone. The previously obtained level-six rare treasure, the Golden Apple Armor, had vanished into the yellow water and was no more. Fortunately, this was the Nightmare World, and all of these were manifestations of Nightmare power.
In the real world, even if Victor had won this battle, he would have suffered heavy losses. This second disciple's yellow liquid can corrupt magical artifacts; it's extremely powerful.
However, the fact that Victor was able to fight to such an extent with the second disciple of the Black Death King while only having a seventh-ring cultivation level meant that he had already achieved his goal of experimenting with the sword formation, given the vast difference in their cultivation levels.
Triss was initially a little worried about Victor, but after witnessing the terrifying power of the sword formation, she was completely relieved.
On other battlefields, the fighting gradually intensified.
Led by Heavenly Dragon General, the Dragon Palace forces, along with an army of countless Nightmare Creature, put up a fierce resistance, leaving corpses strewn across the battlefield.
Many members of the Dragon Palace returned to the city. Within the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, some Dragonkind who had returned to the city, despite their exhaustion, went back to fight in the Black Dragon Territory, becoming completely engrossed in the battle.
After battling Lope for over a hundred rounds, the Shuo Shu general realized that it could not defeat the giant ape and was even slightly at a disadvantage. It knew that this expedition was going to end in failure.
"There are so many valiant people in this Black Dragon Territory, and they are all outsiders. Who exactly is this Black Dragon Lord? How can he make so many outsiders willingly risk their lives for him?"
With a devastating blow from Lope, the Shuo Shu was sent flying, spitting out countless drops of greasy blood.
"Withdraw! All troops, withdraw! Do not linger!"
Withdrawing troops is shameful and disgraces the reputation of the Eighth Prince, but it will preserve the Black Death King's fighting force.
If so many elite soldiers and generals were to perish here, the other seven kings would surely rush to annihilate the Black Death King as soon as they found out.
On the ground, the nightmare army receded like a tide.
The giant Shuo Shu general flickered, and a golden gate of light appeared in front of him, about to enter it.
"When my brother comes in person, you'll all be sorry!"
Duang!
The Shuo Shu's body seemed to have crashed into an impenetrable wall.
The golden gate burst open with a deafening roar, and the silver mountains and storm barrier descended, crushing everything in the world.
At the summit of Lei Shan, a Black Dragon with shattered wings, shimmering with a dreamlike luster, spread its wings and transformed into the figure of Black Armor Swordsman.
Levi raised his hand and unleashed a [Water Dragon's Chant] on the third disciple who was battling Triss.
The Emperor appeared, threw out a giant shield, and sent the second disciple who was trying to escape flying. The Nine-Headed Emperor Dragon then released the Origin Soul spell [Sky Net Thunder Light], forming a lightning net that trapped him.
He rushed over upon hearing the news and had been waiting for a long time.
He single-handedly stopped the Shuo Shu and two late-stage level seven disciples.
"I'm giving you a choice: either surrender and submit to me, or die!"
The Shuo Shu, wielding a sickle, slashed at Levi.
"You?"
Levi said, "Just me!"
He waved his hand.
Danis, wielding Wolf Tooth Club, charged out fiercely! Four spirit soldiers and the Maiya Spirit followed closely behind.
Levi wielded his greatsword, which clashed with his scythe.
The immense force sent the Shuo Shu flying a great distance.
It showed a look of shock.
"How is that possible? The Black Dragon Lord's power is even greater than that of Lope?"
Levi has rarely shown his face in the Nightmare World. It only thought of Levi as a vase lord who lived off Lope and Triss. But it never expected that his true strength was so terrifying! With the blessing of [Wind of Shadow], the Shadow Dragon Multitude are as swift as the wind, becoming a reaping weapon on the battlefield.
Nightmare, Abyss, and black beasts are Levi's main means of replenishing his level 5 shadows; otherwise, even if he killed all the Origin Soul in the Wizard World, he still wouldn't be able to gather 10,000 level 5 Shadow Dragon Multitude.
The [Voice of the Wild] echoed across the battlefield, igniting the bloodlust of every member of the Dragon Palace. Even the army of Nightmare Creature seemed to receive a slight boost. If Levi were to master this spell to its limit, its power would be even greater.
"I am full of power!"
The Fire-Breathing Dragon spews forth flames, mercilessly taking the lives of enemy soldiers.
The Black Lotus Beast also felt an incredible power flowing into its body.
Not long after, a disciple at the mid-stage of level seven was blasted to pieces by Levi's Four Spirit Weapons and the Maiya Spirit. His True Spirit soared into the sky, only to be entangled in an invisible net. In the center of that net, Leon sat calmly, unhurriedly making canned goods on the spot.
As the Nine-Colored Emperor Sword struck down, the second disciple, who had exhausted all his tricks, was also annihilated by the chaotic sword energy. He was finally dead. He had already been severely injured by Victor and was just waiting for Levi to finish him off.
The third disciple, who was being overwhelmed by Lope and Triss, was also struck down by Levi's secret sword. Levi was desperately trying to secure kills in order to bolster the Shadow Legion's strength.
With Levi's arrival on the battlefield, the situation instantly took a dramatic turn for the worse. General Shuo Shu watched helplessly as his four disciples were all killed in action, and his lords and army fell like wheat before the Shadow Legion.
"Black Dragon Lord, spare my life, and I will submit to you!"
"The Shuo Shu said in a panic."
Behind Levi, the Black Soul Magic Tower appeared, forming Death Storm that covered hundreds of miles in radius. Two evil souls exuding terrifying aura condensed and emerged, their fierce light gleaming.
"It's too late."
Levi activated the [Spear Absolute Extremity Way] and the [Dragon Serpent Way], his right arm transforming into a blood-red spear that moved like a dragon and slithered like a snake! Under the onslaught of the storm, the powerful seventh-level Shuo Shu general was completely unable to withstand it.
It had already exhausted itself in its battle with Lope, and was no match for the fully-powered Levi.
The Nine-Colored Emperor also rushed to provide support.
The Fire Dragon Tribulation, the Seven Suns Descend, the Thunder Beast Art, and all sorts of other spells swept in, leaving it no room to dodge.
High in the sky, the phantom of the Thunder God stood on the clouds, with Thunder Command War Drum hanging at his waist. He struck the drum, and a terrifying Thunder Pillar crashed down, like Divine Punishment!
Under such a relentless barrage, the Shuo Shu was soon riddled with wounds and on the verge of death. Had it not been for the formidable defenses of its massive fat body, it would have been reduced to ashes long ago.
Having exhausted all its tricks, it lay on the ground, powerless to fight any longer, and could only stare at the Black Armor Swordsman.
In a daze, it seemed to see its brother's future.
"This Black Dragon Lord must be the calamity of the Blood Rain Realm."
The talents under this person's command are all extraordinary individuals who can fight beyond their current realm. If they were allowed to grow stronger, they would become formidable.
Boom! Another Thunder Pillar blasted the Shuo Shu to pieces, its grease bursting into flames. A peak level seven expert thus met a tragic end in this desolate Black Dragon Territory.
Levi withdrew his powers and landed on the ground.
With the addition of the Shadow Dragon Multitude, the gap in strength between the two sides widened further, and the enemy was routed and could only flee. They were pursued by the Black Dragon Territory's soldiers for a long distance before finally sounding the retreat.
After cleaning up her spoils, Triss looked at Levi.
With a mere gesture, he slew that peak level seven enemy. Could it be that even a level eight expert is no match for Levi?
And then there's Victor, with his early-stage seventh-level cultivation. Relying on that Secret Sword Magic Array, he held his own against late-stage seventh-level cultivators without being at a disadvantage. That's truly terrifying.
Levi said, "Thank you for your help, Madam. If you need any of these spoils of war on the battlefield, please feel free to take them."
They were old buddies, so Triss didn't stand on ceremony with him.
This battle was a great victory, fully demonstrating the military strength of Black Dragon Territory. Unless the Black Death King personally leads the expedition, he will certainly not dare to harass this place. The same applies to the other seven kings.
Next, we either have to spend some time in peace and quiet, or we have to face an eighth-level enemy.
Regardless, Levi was ready.
In the post-battle review, thanks to the Shadow Dragon Multitude, the Nightmare Army in Levi's territory did not suffer many losses. Of the enemy's elite soldiers who escaped, less than three out of ten remained, making it a heavy loss.
Levi held a grand banquet and rewarded or punished his soldiers according to their military achievements, which pleased everyone.
Some are happy, some are sad.
Black Death City.
The Black Death King, seated on his throne, has already learned of his brother's death.
Besides, of the nine disciples, six have now left, leaving only three. Not to mention the other losses.
Even in the war with the other seven kings, it had never suffered such heavy losses; it was devastating.
This means that the Black Dragon Territory in this desolate place is already a force at the level of the Eighth King, regardless of whether it has an Eighth-level expert in charge.
"Next, all the armies from the territories will come to Black Death City and defend it to the death, in case the Seven Kings and Black Dragon Territory take advantage of the situation! Also, send an envoy with top-quality gifts to the Dim Webway in the Blood Sea Great Domain to ask my Great-Grandma to come out of seclusion. This is a matter of life and death for Black Death City, Great-Grandma will not stand by and watch us perish."
What the world doesn't know is that the Black Death King's Great-Grandma was a level nine overlord named [Secluded Dark Overlord], who served under the level ten powerhouse [Blood Sea Mosquito Monarch].
Great-Grandma was the earliest founder of Black Death City. Later, she went into seclusion in the Blood Sea Great Domain and led a group of rat offspring to establish a vast underground rat empire.
This is why the Black Death King dared to rebel; even if it failed, it had a way out.
Even if the Blood Rain Overlord is not truly dead, it can escape its fate by hiding in the Dim Webway when the reckoning comes.
Four years later.
Nora's 450th year, the 236th year of the Blood War.
Levi obtained the eight-ringed robe from the ancient ruins. Since he wouldn't be able to use it for a long time, and it needed repair, plus its quality was mediocre, after some consideration, he had the Holy Infant auction it off on the Black Market, recouping 800 million Great Stone to maintain the cash flow needed for the Holy Infant's weapon refining.
The Holy Infant also upgraded all of his main magical artifacts, such as Soul Weapons, to seventh-ring magical artifacts.
Both the [Purgatory Nine Dragons Umbrella] and the [Frost Sky Seven Feather Fan] have been upgraded to the seventh-ring top-grade level, possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities and immense power.
The Snow Iron Dragon Armor has been upgraded to the Rank 7 Excellent [Dragon Locust Armor], and with the Rank 7 Exotic Treasure [Flame Shield], I feel completely safe.
The [Red Dragon Ring] and [Extreme Fire Light Wheel] are both level 7 common items, which are useful for control and escape, but they are more than enough.
The Red Infant Sword has been upgraded to a seventh-level refined weapon. Moreover, with the advancement of the weapon, the crimson python spirit within the sword has also fully recovered its peak strength, transforming from a python into a dragon and becoming a seventh-level weapon spirit.
With such a multi-functional and exquisite magical artifact, coupled with the two companion spirits, the Snow King and the Lion King, the Holy Infant's overall strength is in no way inferior to that of Gandalf and Victor.
After years of transformation in strength, the three clones, although only at the ordinary level of the seventh ring, could easily withstand a perfect seventh ring if they unleashed their full power. However, they were still far from being able to kill a perfect seventh ring as easily as the main body.
After the magical artifact was completed, the Holy Infant no longer entered seclusion.
He left the two women and the other Primal Soul Wizard to guard the witchcraft shop before heading to the God Forsaken Continent.
Gandalf and Victor have already been working together to hunt demons over there. Just two years ago, the two of them joined forces to kill a late-stage level seven Balrog, causing a huge uproar in the Wizard World.
With these three heroes gathered together and working together, they can practically roam freely in the God Forsaken Continent, killing gods and Buddhas alike if they stand in their way.
Nightmare World.
Inside the Tower of Triss.
The woman is conducting an experiment, looking very focused.
When the experiment was finished, she looked at Levi had been waiting for a long time.
Levi said:
"Madam, I would like to work with you to research a medicine."
Triss asked, "What potion?"
Levi retrieved the experimental notes he had obtained from the ancient ruins.
"A medicine that could potentially extend our lives by a thousand years."
