The Pact with the Immortal Banyan Dragon; Back to the Peak!
The Demon Fish Great Lord has fallen.
Leon has now advanced to the mid-stage of level seven. Although he is far from being on par with the Demon Fish Great Lord, his expertise is relevant to the job. He quickly captured the Demon Fish's soul and carefully rolled it up.
With a wave of his hand, Levi dug out the level eight Abyss Core of the Demon Fish Great Lord, then cut up its mutilated corpse and put it into his Storage Ring.
He looked at the sea covered in demonic blood, took out a jade-bottle-like magical artifact, chanted a spell, and absorbed the blood and seawater into it until the sea was clean.
"Yes, we must not waste resources, and we must not pollute the environment."
Eighth Level Demon, every part of him is a treasure.
Some of the materials can be used to refine weapons, while the rest of the useless flesh and blood can be used to feed A Long, producing level eight fertilizer with remarkable effects.
Lady Rowling's companion spirit can grow to be hundreds of miles long, so it must have consumed quite a few level eight or even level nine corpses.
That's why she was able to cultivate and research it so quickly, and successfully develop Oasis One.
The shattered space was restored, and the world returned to silence.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Levi took Leon and returned to Skad Island.
Having just killed the Demon Fish Great Lord, he suddenly gained 18 million battle merits, which is 1.8 times the average battle merit of an early-stage level 8 demon.
Levi never expected that the demon he had beaten to death with his wild punches would be so powerful.
"It has to be an eighth-level demon hunt, which is equivalent to a year's worth of non-stop demon hunting. Hunting low-level demons is safe, but it's too inefficient. All the time is wasted on searching and traveling."
"But I must say, hunting an eighth-level demon is still quite dangerous. After all, it takes too long to deal with an Eighth Level Demon. It requires a protracted war and a war of attrition. If it calls for other helpers during this time, then I will have failed and will have no choice but to run away to save my life."
"Overall, relying on my primordial spirit, sorcerer's form, and Knight's skills, I am currently quite capable of hunting down ordinary level eight Benthic Fish Demon in a one-on-one situation."
"I was too cautious before. In fact, with my Undying Body, I only need to stick to these big guys and fight them. Even if they escape through the void, they can't get rid of me."
"I'm a bit too reckless, so I can't use that too much... I still need to upgrade [Silver Mountain Skyfall] and [Wind Illusion Realm] to the late stage of level seven as soon as possible, and then learn a few more spells specifically for sealing off the void. If one isn't enough, then add more. I'll be able to stay at level eight no matter what!"
Along the way.
Levi, reflecting on the gains and losses of this battle, was quite pleased with himself.
Without relying on the warband or Lope, he suppressed an Eighth Level Demon, leaving the opponent powerless to fight back from beginning to end.
Previously, he relied on killing the Crypt Wizard in the sewers to fight opponents of higher levels and maintain his undefeated record.
Now, he can kill Eighth Level Demon openly and honestly, and he no longer needs the Crypt Wizard!
Dragon King Li is not bad.
Skad Island.
Levi appeared out of thin air, and on the battlefield, the remnants of the demon legion scattered like birds and beasts after their leader left.
He summoned the Shadow Dragon Multitude and four spirit soldiers, wreaking havoc in all directions, while he temporarily hid to prevent the demons from launching a surprise attack.
With these reliable summons, he can simply stay out of the way and safely AFK hunt down demons below level seven.
After earning another two million battle merits, he cleaned up the battlefield and left the Outer Ring Sea Area, intending to spend some time in the Starry Sea Area.
Based on Levi's analysis and divination, he felt that he needed to leave the Outer Ring Sea Area for a short period of time.
Eighth Level Demon are important commanders in the Abyss army; they are not commonplace and hold a very high position.
The Abyss will surely send other powerful beings to investigate the situation, so Levi is not afraid of Eighth Level Demon.
The worst fear is that once the Abyss discovers it is him, a level nine expert might risk their own demise to perish alongside Levi, which would be a huge loss.
Not long after.
Scarde Island.
Demonic blood stained the earth black, rivers of blood flowed, and Black Qi soared into the sky.
In the void, the Radiant Gold Wizard, dressed in Golden Lightning robe, gazed at the battlefield with a somewhat puzzled expression.
"It's over? Has the Black Cat Battle Group fallen?"
After searching around, neither Demon Fish Great Lord nor the Black Cat Battle Group could be found. Judging from the scene, it seemed that the demons had suffered heavy losses.
However, given the strength of the Black Cat Battle Group and those civilian demon-hunting groups, they should not be able to wipe out a well-prepared demon army.
Before long, he finally received the news, and his expression was quite interesting.
"It was him..."
The Black Cat Battle Group has been rescued, and the one who appeared at the scene was none other than the long-dormant Twilight Hall Master. He single-handedly stopped the Demon Fish Great Lord and helped the Black Cat Battle Group escape.
"When the Twilight Hall Master appeared before, he was only at the initial stage of the seventh ring of perfection. The Demon Fish Great Lord is a veteran level eight, not far from the mid-level eight. Has this person already grown to the point where he can hold his own against a level eight expert?"
The Radiant Gold Wizard carefully recalled the events and confirmed that the Twilight Hall Master and his Leitney Family had no enmity. He then silently breathed a sigh of relief.
He also knew that some of the family's disciples and descendants might be a little arrogant and reckless, which could make them some enemies.
Most of the time, the Radiant Gold Wizard didn't care. After all, the Leitney Family was a behemoth and didn't need to pay attention to the grievances of those ants.
But ever since the family's fortunes declined, he has become particularly concerned about this, repeatedly warning his descendants not to cause trouble outside, otherwise it would be the last straw that breaks the family's back.
The House of Witches.
The Black Cat Wizard Group returned successfully, Cat Witch descended slowly through the void with elegant cat-like steps.
The old Witch looked at her with a worried expression and said:
Are you alright?
The Cat Witch said, "I'm fine, Witch. This matter has been full of twists and turns, but thankfully, there's always a way out. We were rescued by the Twilight Hall Master. The Lord and Triss are both my great benefactors."
Upon hearing this, the Witch's face darkened, and she said, "That Radiant Gold Wizard! His compatriots are in danger, and he's still playing tricks. His talk of holding the line is just an excuse. I must go and complain to the Lord of the Star Tower."
The Cat Witch said, "The Leitney Family thinks we House of Witches are easy to bully. Sigh."
The old Witch said:
"The Twilight Hall Master's kindness certainly needs to be repaid. We will invite him in a few days and host a banquet. All the witches who are staying at home when there is no war should attend. Please spread the word."
The Cat Witch said, "No problem, but I left in a hurry and I don't know if the Twilight Hall Master escaped safely, after all, he was facing Eighth Level Demon."
The old Witch said:
"Don't worry, I know the strength of the Twilight Hall Master quite well. Even if he is no match for Eighth Level Demon, he can still escape successfully. There have been many Eighth Level Demon who have tried to capture him over the years, but none of them have succeeded. He is a cautious person and will not do anything that puts him at risk... He might even be able to kill that demon in return."
The Cat Witch smiled upon hearing this.
"Witch, please don't joke around. Even if the Twilight Hall Master can defeat the Demon Fish Great Lord, it shouldn't be enough to keep him here, after all, there's a huge difference in cultivation level."
After she finished speaking, she muttered to herself for a moment.
Could it really be possible?
With that in mind, she opened the Eighth Level Demon Slaying Ranking.
Because the Twilight Hall Master ranked very high, she basically had an idea of the points of the top ten.
The next moment, the Cat Witch opened her cherry lips slightly, her expression changing several times, and then she suddenly sighed, "Witch, you really guessed right. Not long ago, the Twilight Hall Master's points increased by 20 million in one go... I can't think of any other possibility besides hunting down an eighth-level hunter."
The "old Witch" was just a joke.
Little did I know that my words would come true.
A radiant smile spread across her aged face.
"Hahaha, we were right! This kid is really redefining our understanding of him time and time again. This Demon Fish Great Lord has been wreaking havoc in the Sixth District for more than ten years, but today he was actually killed."
The Cat Witch patted her chest and said, "Triss really understands the Twilight Hall Master. She said she could save us, and she really did. No wonder she doesn't want to go back to the House of Witches and spends all her time on the Ancient Dragon Continent."
Nightmare World.
Black Dragon Territory.
Wizard Tower.
Levi's figure materialized.
"Madam, your friend is alright. I'm glad I succeeded in my mission."
Triss said:
"Thank you, I owe you a favor."
Levi waved his hand and said:
"Madam, please don't be so formal. It was just a small favor."
Triss asked, "Judging from your score, you must have already killed the Demon Fish Great Lord, right...?"
Levi nodded.
Triss clapped her hands and gave Levi a thumbs-up with her white fingers.
"Impressive, no wonder you're my apprentice."
Levi laughed heartily.
"I'm logging off now."
Triss sighed inwardly.
The once-young Levi Wei has now officially surpassed her, his teacher, in cultivation level, and is completely overwhelmed in strength.
Sigh, Ai Niya, who was the same age as Levi back then, is still struggling in the Sixth Ring Road area.
Is this what other people's children are like?
The God Forsaken Continent.
"This Levi is so arrogant as to hunt down Eighth Level Demon."
Elena looked at the Demon Slaying Ranking in a Sanctuary and pouted.
"He told us to be more cautious and conservative, but he went off to hunt down Eighth Level Demon himself. Even if he's strong, he can't play like this. He should have just saved people; why fight to the death?"
Even so, Elena was still very proud. Any woman would feel the same way if she found such a dazzling and powerful husband.
All things considered, she has been hunting demons and cultivating on the God Forsaken Continent for decades, but the points she has accumulated are only about the same as Levi's from one demon hunt. It's truly despairing to think about.
Elena simply decided against it and continued to bury herself in her cultivation.
Two weeks later.
The Starry Sea Area, Nether King City.
Levi had not been there for a long time, and Wucheng seemed even more desolate.
Because of the Battle of the Endless Sea, some Rogue Wizard who could leave went to seek refuge or went to the battlefield to hunt demons.
Not long ago, he received an additional reward of tens of millions of battle merits, which should be an official reward for saving the Black Cat Battle Group.
Although it's better than nothing for Blazing Sun- class artifact, it still saved Levi a lot of time.
For the past two weeks, he has been divining every day, and each time he has received a fairly clear warning of danger, as can be seen from the hexagram of the Fool Rune.
The danger doesn't seem to be related to demons, but rather to death, most likely Luo Wei.
Therefore, he guessed that the wizard Luo Wei had already figured out a way to deal with him, and might be searching for his whereabouts now, which made him cautious.
Luo Wei must have had some powerful backing to plot his assassination for so many years; he couldn't be complacent just because he killed an eighth-level enemy. After all, times had changed, and he was now inevitably in the spotlight.
He also obtained information about the location of the divination from the Hell. It is said that a powerful Dragonkind once resided there, known as the "Black Prison King," which puzzled Levi.
He had absolutely no connection with that Dragonkind. He even took the time to visit the Eighth Layer of Hell, but found no trace of the Dragonkind. It seemed that the place had been deserted and no one knew where they had gone.
The House of Witches.
At the dinner to thank Levi.
The Cat Witch herself brought a cup of wine to offer a toast, her chest heaving, her face slightly flushed, and she smiled, saying, "Thank you so much, Twilight Hall Master, for saving us. We are deeply grateful."
Levi said, "You're welcome. After all, I was an outside helper wizard of the House of Witches back then, and I even met a benefactor like Ms. Triss here."
Upon hearing this...
The old Witch suddenly sighed:
"We sensed from the beginning that you were no ordinary person, but due to the ancestral precepts of the First Generation Witch, we dared not set a precedent by recruiting male witches. Otherwise, given Lord Levi's talent, we would certainly have extended an olive branch."
Levi said, "Haha, I can understand."
He never intended to join a top wizarding organization; being an external wizard would suffice, since he was only close to Triss anyway.
A beautiful young woman in a floral dress landed in front of Li Wei; she was none other than Lady Izzysera, the Fairy Banyan Dragon.
"Little Levi, no, we can't call you that now. Mr. Levi, it's been a long time."
Levi laughed:
"Long time no see, ma'am."
He recalled the shock he felt when he first encountered a pure-blooded Dragonkind like the Immortal Banyan Dragon. Now, however, they could be considered equals, after all, he too had slain Eighth Level Demon.
In terms of strength, it is no less than the Immortal Banyan Dragon.
However, the Immortal Banyan Dragon does look bigger than before...
She started as a little girl, and now she's a young woman who has developed. Clearly, the Immortal Banyan Dragon possesses the ability to transform, but she usually disdains human form.
Immortal Banyan Dragon Path:
Is Hundred Flowers still busy?
Levi said, "Yes."
He remembered the matter of the Hundred Flowers, so he took the opportunity to exchange pleasantries with Immortal Banyan Dragon and chatted for a long time.
During the banquet, numerous flamboyant and uniquely charismatic Origin Soul witches came to toast Levi, some of whom were even more daring and outspoken, making outrageous remarks.
"I am the Fox Witch, does Lord Levi need a companion?"
The old Witch drove away all the Origin Soul witches, leaving only the Immortal Banyan Dragon and Levi.
The old Witch asked, "Levi, you said you wanted to trade with us, just say so. You have done us a favor, and we will try our best to satisfy you as long as it is within our power."
Levi looked at the Immortal Banyan Dragon and said:
"I hope to trade some Bloodline Essence with Idrasera, of course, without affecting its health and growth, and I will also offer corresponding compensation."
Since this matter concerned the House of Witches, he did not speak with Immortal Banyan Dragon alone to avoid any misunderstandings.
The old Witch smiled bitterly:
"As for this matter, I really can't make the decision. You and Idrasera can talk about it yourselves. Our House of Witches won't interfere."
After saying that, she left the place on her own.
Idrasera asked:
"Are you training for Elena's Knight's Breathing Technique?"
Levi said:
"Yes, I have some Dragon Scale Fruit here, all of excellent quality. It should not only make up for your deficit, but also help you."
Idrasera paused, then said:
"You actually have such a good thing. It seems that there are quite a few Dragonkind being raised on the Ancient Dragon Continent."
Levi smiled slightly.
Idrasera continued to ask:
"I don't know much about Knight. I've always had a question in my mind: if Knight keeps getting stronger and eventually approaches the level of the bloodline source, say level eight, then the next step is to kill the existence of the bloodline source in order to advance to level nine?"
Levi was speechless, not expecting Immortal Banyan Dragon to ask this.
He said, "Does the lady need me to tell the truth?"
Immortal Banyan Dragon nodded seriously.
Levi said, "I don't know, because we are all pioneering on this path. I can only see the road in front of me and the vague road ahead. Everything is changing, and with my current level of understanding, I dare not make any conclusions."
But based on the information I have so far, it's not necessary. While the Knight path is based on bloodline, it doesn't mean a complete regression to ancestral ways. We are simply using the power within our bloodline to break the limits of the human body and gradually attempt higher paths.
Levi Wei said this.
It's because the White Wolf Girl had already reached the level of her Lord of Blood Tribulation, the Silver Frost Wolf, a long time ago.
Instead of killing the Silver Frost Wolf, she used the bloodline of the Frost Moon Blade Wolf to fuse with it, evolving it into the higher-level Silver Moon Azure Wolf.
In fact, whether it is evolution, advancement, or even the Secret Medicine for daily cultivation, it does not need to rely on the bloodline of the Lord of Blood Tribulation himself.
All you need is a bloodline of the same or similar type. It can only be said that using the Lord of Blood Tribulation would yield even better cultivation results.
However, this doesn't mean that Knight must kill the Lord of Blood Tribulation to advance in the final stage; it doesn't mean there has to be a life-or-death struggle. They can find a similar being to defeat and advance. But if there's no similar being, Levi currently doesn't know what to do.
He was merely feeling his way across the river by feeling for stones; how could he possibly see so far ahead? He was just a cheater, not Sauron, the ancestor of wizards.
There's always a way out. If there truly is no way out, then it's fate, the path you chose, and there's nothing to complain about.
Of course, Levi himself wasn't worried; he still had the path of a wizard.
However, the Twilight Eighteen Knights, or any other Knight, need to be mentally prepared for this.
Before one can completely break free from the shackles of bloodline, the path of bloodline will always be restricted by bloodlines of a higher level.
Levi asked:
"Are you worried that we might harm you once we grow up?"
Immortal Banyan Dragon always gets straight to the point.
"Yes, I can't raise a tiger that will eventually threaten me. If Elena advances in the future and needs the Immortal Banyan Dragon Bloodline Crystal, will you kill me?"
Without hesitation, Levi replied, "No."
Immortal Banyan Dragon saw that Levi's attitude was sincere.
It chuckled, "Am I a bit more suspicious than any other Dragonkind you've ever met?"
Levi said, "This is the natural behavior of living beings. On the contrary, I think the lady is a very intelligent Dragonkind, more astute than any other Dragonkind I have ever met."
Just look at those brain-dead sub- Dragon Spawn in his Dragon Palace. Immortal Banyan Dragon is truly rare.
Immortal Banyan Dragon Path:
"I agree to make a deal with you, but I have one more condition that you must agree to."
Levi said, "Please speak, madam."
Immortal Banyan Dragon Path:
"My contract with the guardian of the House of Witches will expire in five hundred years. After it expires, I want to sign a contract with you and become your guardian. At the same time, you must promise not to harm me in the future. Our Immortal Banyan Dragon clan is very rare... If I am gone, you may never find another Immortal Banyan Dragon in the vast universe."
The girl played with her palm. As an ancient being who had lived for nearly ten thousand years, she felt a little uneasy. The reason why the Immortal Banyan Dragon said this was firstly to protect itself, and secondly because it had its eye on the potential of the Twilight Hall Master.
Being a guardian is also a skill.
It realized that the House of Witches, with its current momentum, would find it difficult to rise to prominence and achieve great success in the future.
This ancestral precept of only accepting witches is a self-inflicted trap; they will be doomed sooner or later. There is no future in this organization.
Unlike the Twilight Hall Master, whose Ancient Dragon Continent is thriving, in less than a thousand years since its founding, the Ancient Dragon Continent has already produced dozens of Level 6 and several Level 7 individuals, earning the favor of the council's high-ranking officials.
The Twilight Hall Master is a rare genius, unparalleled in history. He revitalized the path of the Knight, which had been doomed. With his level seven body, he fought against level eight. He witnessed all his achievements.
Therefore, the Immortal Banyan Dragon, who planned to stay in the Wizard World long-term, needed to find a new home. After spending thousands of years in the House of Witches, it first ruled out other top wizarding organizations.
I should try finding other Great Wizard or Legendary Wizard; it seems I'm not qualified yet, and I might not even be valued. After much thought, the Ancient Dragon Continent seems quite suitable.
Upon hearing this, Levi was secretly delighted.
"Is this for real?"
He said, "If you come with me then, will the House of Witches have any complaints?"
Stealing your guardian is also a form of NTR.
Before this, he had already poached Elena, Twenty-Four Flowers, Ai Niya, Triss... He even suspected that after a while, the entire House of Witches would be merged into the Ancient Dragon Continent.
Immortal Banyan Dragon Path:
"Once my contract expires, I will be free. It's a mutual agreement, so the old Witch won't say anything."
Levi said, "Very well, I will wait for you for five hundred years."
Immortal Banyan Dragon extended his slender fingers and said, "There's no need for any solemn oaths, let's pinky swear."
Levi smiled wryly.
"Okay, pinky promise."
After finishing his business, Levi left the House of Witches with enough Bloodline Essence for Hundred Flowers to cultivate for a period of time.
The God Forsaken Continent.
Deep Blue Legion's base.
Looking at the battle reports from the front lines, Lucy immediately learned that the Demon Fish Great Lord had been hunted down and killed by Levi, and couldn't help but smile.
"I didn't expect that he would achieve such great feats in just over two years in the Endless Sea. He is a highly mobile elite battle group that can provide support to various places at any time, which has relieved a lot of pressure for us."
Inside a cave.
Levi and Hundred Flowers secretly cultivated together in this place for more than ten days. The two fought to the peak, and the Yin and Yang Dao were obliterated.
Afterwards, Hundred Flowers looked at the Bloodline Essence in the bottle, her face flushed, and said:
"Thank you very much. With these level eight Immortal Banyan Dragon Blood Essence, the Knight's cultivation will be much more convenient from now on... However, you should not risk hunting level eight monsters next time. You have such a long lifespan, why be in such a hurry?"
Levi said, "I know you don't understand me. I wouldn't take any risks without being absolutely certain... But you should be careful here."
After parting ways with Hundred Flowers, Levi went to hunt demons alone on the God Forsaken Continent. He planned to return after the Endless Sea storm subsided. He continued this pattern of switching locations frequently, engaging in hit-and-run tactics, relying heavily on randomness.
Six months later.
Levi's act of saving the Black Cat Battle Group and his heroic deeds were reported in the Daily News, and the Wizard World praised him highly.
Some observant individuals even deduced from Levi's score increase that Levi had single-handedly killed Eighth Level Demon.
In no time, news of the Twilight Hall Master's solo hunt down of Eighth Level Demon spread like wildfire.
Prior to this, only the top three on the leaderboard had ever single-handedly fought an eighth-level wizard. Other seventh-ring wizards mostly relied on battle formations to achieve this. The world increasingly witnessed the unfathomable depth and power of the Twilight Hall Master.
Somewhere in the Endless Sea.
An ordinary-looking White-Robed Wizard stood still, looking at the news from the Wizard World.
"This... this Twilight Hall Master actually seems to have killed Eighth Level Demon, how is that possible?"
This White-Robed Wizard was none other than the Black Dragon Wizard who intended to hunt down the Twilight Hall Master. He had gone into hiding, searching for his whereabouts in the Endless Sea, but unexpectedly, he heard such news.
After some thought, the Black Dragon Wizard quietly left the Wizard World, muttering to himself.
"This person can kill Eighth Level Demon. With my current strength, even if I were to face him, I might not be able to win. I still have enough lifespan, so there's no need to take the risk. I'll find another opportunity later. Extending lifespan doesn't necessarily require the Turtle King Fruit; there are other methods... That guy Luo Wei is nearing his end, so he certainly won't give up. It's a good opportunity to let him test the true strength of the Twilight Hall Master. I'll watch from the sidelines and act accordingly."
As the Black Dragon Wizard had said, Luo Wei was also searching for Levi, learned of this rumor.
He was already half convinced, but looking at his own aging body, nearing the end of his life, he sighed:
"I have no way out but to move forward. Even if I die, I will have no regrets. With the Black Prison Beast and the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon, I still have a relatively high chance of success. It's worth the gamble."
Two years later.
Nora for 482 years, Blood War for 268 years.
Levi, who was hunting demons on the God Forsaken Continent, stopped and found a safe place to enter the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
From the shadow behind him, a phantom of a giant fish, thousands of meters long, appeared. Its head was covered with tentacles and it exuded a level seven aura, exactly the same as the [Demon Fish Great Lord] that Levi had killed.
"The first level seven shadow has been obtained. Not bad, not bad. From now on, I won't even need to lift a finger to deal with level seven demons. With the strength of the Demon Fish Shadow, ordinary level seven demons are no match for it at all."
Outside the Dragon Palace.
A yellowish-brown Earthquake Dragon survived the Blood Tribulation without serious injury and advanced to level six.
Levi said, "Gan Site is also at level six."
Of the Three Brothers Earthquake Dragon brothers, it was the last to reach magnitude six and also the youngest. After Gan Site passed his tribulation, he excitedly flew over and asked:
"Dragon King Majesty, what rank am I?"
Levi said, "You are the Celestial Star Dragon General."
Gan Wencui, and Cui respectively symbolize the sun, moon, and stars; the sun in the sky; the moon in the sky; and the stars in the sky.
With the Three Brothers Earthquake Dragon brothers advancing to level six, all of the Dragon Spawn that Levi brought from the Ancient Tower, except for the slow-moving Turtle Prime Minister, have now reached level six, which greatly comforts Levi.
For the Earthquake Dragon, level six is the complete form. The Three Brothers have already reached adulthood and may improve their level slightly as they enter their prime, but it will be difficult for them to advance to level seven.
For Dragonkind in the wild, they could simply live a life of leisure, collecting Gold Coins and passing the rest of their days, like the Fire-Breathing Dragon back then.
However, due to the existence of the Nightmare World, the Three Brothers are still very ambitious and are dedicated to making the Dragon Palace famous in the new world, and they are so engrossed in it that they cannot extricate themselves.
In the past two years of full-time demon hunter, Levi's Demon Slaying Ranking points have reached 260 million, once again breaking into the top three. However, the public in the Wizard World had already predicted this, so they were no longer surprised.
In the past two years, Levi has hunted down another level eight fire demon, consolidating his record of defeating an level eight demon. Wizards have already begun to regard him as an Eighth Ring Wizard... The demons are the same; to guard against Levi, Eighth Level Demon are usually in pairs and rarely alone. Levi takes a relaxed approach, prioritizing safety and adopting a Zen-like attitude.
At the same time, he could sense that Luo Wei was tracking him, which made him extra wary during his demon hunt and unable to concentrate. He felt he needed to find a suitable opportunity to lure the snake out of its hole and strike first; he couldn't continue to be passive.
In this way...
Four years later.
Nora, 486.
The 272nd year of the Blood War.
Levi is 910 years old. In four years, he has once again climbed back to the top of the Demon Slaying Ranking with 320 million points. Levi is completely unmoved by this and has no reaction whatsoever.
[Congratulations on reaching the top again! — Harvis.]
"Hey buddy, take a break, don't overwork yourself. —Gatling"
Congratulations. — The Light Divine Sword
Congratulations! — Lucy
[The commander is awesome! — Mu Di]
"Shall we celebrate tonight?" — Elena.
Looking at these comments, Levi smiled.
Over the years, he's gotten to know the people at the top of the leaderboard quite well, exchanging contact information and getting to know each other. The competition between them is quite interesting.
With a formidable enemy at hand, those people didn't even consider using underhanded tactics against him, probably because they were simply outmatched...
He responded politely to each question, muttering to himself:
"Ms. Lucy congratulated me again."
"We've won first place, so we should celebrate tonight."
After replying to the message, he was about to go find Hundred Flowers.
Suddenly, his face lit up with joy.
"Victor has been promoted to a senior seventh-ring cultivator, not bad. Looks like we can start taking action soon."
The western part of the God Forsaken Continent.
A battlefield.
A level 7 late-stage Heavenly Wrath Demon, wreaking havoc with boundless fury, is wreaking havoc in all directions.
A demon-hunting squad led by Primal Soul Wizard was dismantled without a moment's resistance and was completely swallowed up by the Heavenly Wrath Demon.
"Ha, with this little strength, they dare to come to the God Forsaken Continent? Do these wizards really think they're invincible just because they defeated the Burning Crusade Army?"
After clearing the battlefield, it once again led a group of fire demons and Heavenly Wrath Demon toward other places.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Suddenly, a thousand-meter-tall Demon Subduing Wisdom King figure appeared before them, unleashing countless palm strikes like a thousand-armed Guanyin! "The Wisdom King Shocking God Palm!"
The Heavenly Wrath Demon's expression changed slightly.
Gandalf! Oh no, the Three Heroes of Gondor are here!
Its powerful paws shattered Gandalf's attack, but suddenly it suffered a severe blow to its back and was sent flying.
Instead, a ferocious crimson lion with bared fangs and claws, and a muscular snowman appeared out of thin air, launching a sneak attack on it.
A small crimson serpent was coiled around the lion's neck. It was Luo Man. Although its strength was average, it could still inflict some injuries on the Heavenly Wrath Demon, so it was still somewhat useful.
The Purgatory Nine Dragons Umbrella appeared, sealing off the void, while the Frost Sky Seven Feather Fan waved, unleashing a blast of icy flames.
The Purple Zenith Holy Dragon coiled around the Firmament, exuding an imposing aura. The Holy Infant wore a purple robe, his purple hair flying, and his eyes flashing with icy and fiery light.
Damn it!
Even though the Heavenly Wrath Demon was at the late stage of level seven, he was still extremely panicked.
Over the years, more than a handful of late-stage level seven beings have died at the hands of the Three Heroes of Gondor... The mere appearance of Gandalf and the Holy Infant has brought it immense pressure, and it knows that the most formidable of them all is Victor! These three have always been inseparable, like brothers.
A voice, ethereal and otherworldly, drifted from the high heavens.
"Seven-Star Sealing Realm!"
A sword rang out across the sky, and seven stars flashed in the heavens! Seven beams of light descended from the sky, surrounding the Heavenly Wrath Demon.
"Sword Qi Like Prison!"
The explosion of countless sword energies was the most terrifying form of torture, instantly turning the Heavenly Wrath Demon into a bloody mess, and its powerful Magic Armor shattered.
"Aaaaaah! Die!"
It stomped on the earth, causing it to shake and mountains to tremble, and unleashed a barrage of Spell-like Abilities towards the three heroes.
"Wisdom King Dragon Elephant Fist! Thirteen Dragon-Elephants!"
After some time away, Gandalf's Wisdom King Martial Path have improved again, and thirteen terrifying Dragon Elephant have been activated and surged forth one after another!
The Holy Infant's Purgatory Nine Dragons and Cold Flame Seven Phoenixes merged, transforming into a purple evil sun, which suddenly exploded on the body of the Heavenly Wrath Demon.
Under the relentless onslaught of the three heroes, the Heavenly Wrath Demon was quickly defeated and fell to the ground, dying without resistance.
Suddenly.
The sky split open, and a gigantic hand, capable of blotting out the heavens, reached out to grab Victor. It was a Flame Demon exuding the aura of an eighth-level being. It stood thousands of meters tall, resembling a world-destroying Demon King, and its flames distorted the space within a hundred miles by scorching heat.
"It really was the three of you! Die!"
The giant hand slammed down, leaving no room for resistance.
Victor's expression changed slightly, he made a sword gesture and gently pointed his finger.
"Break!"
The seven secret swords transformed into a giant sword, colliding with the giant fiery palm with unstoppable force.
Cries of pain rang out as countless pieces of demonic flesh and blood rained down upon the heavens and earth. Under the terrifying onslaught, even the sealed void was torn apart.
The seven swords combined their power, their might soaring to the heavens, causing stars to fall and gods to shed blood.
This is the strongest move of the Godfall Seven Kills! Taking advantage of this opportunity, the three heroes each used their own methods to escape.
The three breathed a sigh of relief after returning to the safe Sanctuary.
Gandalf said:
"It's getting harder and harder to kill level 7 demons now. Those Eighth Level Demon are targeting the three of us. Damn it, if they push us too far, we'll call my main body over and kill them."
Recalling the sword strike just now, Victor said, "After advancing to the seventh ring senior level, the power of my Celestial Star Sword Array is enough to injure Eighth Level Demon. If the three of us cooperate, we might be able to kill a peak seventh-level demon, or even a lone eighth-level demon... However, that's too risky and not worth it."
The Holy Infant said, "With the attack power of your Celestial Star Sword Array, breaking through the defenses of Eighth Level Demon is definitely not a problem. However, Gandalf and I are at too low a level, which is holding you back. Our margin for error is low. Once we make a mistake, it will be catastrophic. After all, our ability to protect ourselves is far inferior to that of the original body. After we both advance to the seventh ring senior level, I will upgrade your witch artifacts to the top grade. Then we should be able to try hunting down an early-stage eighth-level demon. If we advance to the seventh ring perfection level, it will be the safest option, and we can basically guarantee a 100% success rate."
Gandalf said:
"That's right, no rush. The three of us are close to 50 million battle merits. After a while, we can exchange them for the Full Moon Wonder. At that time, our strength will improve a lot more."
Victor said:
"That's right. Once you, Ace, reach the seventh ring, we'll work together to complete the Godfall Celestial Star Thirteen Killing Array. If the sword formation is perfected, we can walk around the God Forsaken Continent with the same swagger as the original. Without reaching the ninth level, who can compete with us?"
The power of the Celestial Star Sword Array is evident to all, and it has not been in vain for his and the Holy Infant's decades of effort.
The Holy Infant said, "The demon hunt is temporarily over. Next, I will go to find the main body to discuss how to deal with Luo Wei."
Hell.
The Seventh Layer.
Demon Fox Tribe.
"Hahaha, I did it! I did it! 22 witch marks! If it weren't for my brother's encouragement, I wouldn't have dared to imagine that my limit was actually here!"
The Purgatory Demon Sword was filled with excitement.
22 witch marks! He originally only wanted to advance with 15 witch marks.
He spent hundreds of years at the Sixth Ring Road to prepare for this day, and he is now 1,200 years old.
But it was all worth it. He wouldn't have known how awesome he was if he hadn't pushed himself.
He looked at the Flame Demon Potion in his hand and muttered to himself, "My cultivation has been so smooth thanks to the nourishment of my three sisters. It's all thanks to my eldest brother's good intentions. My eldest brother's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain, and I can never forget it. This high-quality breakthrough potion alone is priceless, starting at a billion Great Stone."
The three sisters asked, "Are you about to advance to the seventh ring?"
The Purgatory Demon Sword Path, "Yes, I have made all the necessary preparations. This promotion is a sure thing. One of you will come with me on a trip. The promotion will cause quite a stir, so don't disturb the mistress. The other two will stay home to continue serving the mistress, so as not to arouse her suspicion."
The Form Realm Witch said, "I'll go with you. Once you reach the seventh ring, we can venture into the eighth level and hunt even stronger beings."
One month later.
The God Forsaken Continent.
A figure in a gray robe stepped onto the ground; it was Luo Wei.
His face looked increasingly weathered, and he even seemed somewhat anxious.
Time waits for no one, and as his time drew ever closer, he still hadn't found Levi's whereabouts.
Fortunately, he recently received intelligence from the Black Market.
The Twilight Hall Master is currently hunting demons on the God Forsaken Continent, and has informed Luo Wei of the Twilight Hall Master's travel patterns and whereabouts.
Luo Wei didn't know if the information was true or false, but he had no choice but to try it out as a last resort. It would be a joke if he prepared for so long only to die of old age because he couldn't find the Twilight Hall Master.
"Luo Wei, keep it up."
