The Dragon Palace Rises!
God Forsaken Continent.
Inside a Sanctuary.
Before Levi, Gandalf, Victor, and the Holy Infant transformed into beams of light, surging into his body and merging into one.
He said, "Now that the hooks and bait have been cast, it's just a matter of when Luo Wei will take the bait."
Next, he will act simultaneously with his three clones.
Although the three clones are not highly skilled, each possesses unique abilities and extraordinary methods. They are also equipped with top-quality, exquisite seventh-ring witch artifacts and rare treasures.
The three of them working together can shake an eighth-level opponent. Adding Lope, who can be used as an eighth-level henchman, makes Levi's operation even more foolproof.
Not long after, Hundred Flowers also arrived here.
She asked worriedly:
"Are you sure that wizard Luo Wei will come after you?"
Levi said, "There's a 90% chance. If it's not true, that would be even better. I also hope I'm just overthinking it. I don't actually want to oppose the wizard; he's the one forcing me..."
Hundred Flowers said, "I investigated the information of Wizard Luo Wei. It seems that he is only at the seventh level of cultivation. He has not been at this level for long and is still far from the limit of the seventh level of mental power."
He could never be your match, and you have already publicly demonstrated your ability to kill someone at the early stage of level eight. Knowing your current strength and status, he still dares to plot against you. This person must have the support of someone at level eight, and there may be more than one.
Furthermore, this person appears to be nearly three thousand years old and may perish within a few decades. He also seems to have no family lineage in the Wizard World. Such a person is already determined to die; their motives and purposes cannot be judged by common sense. When the time comes, they will undoubtedly fight you to the death without hesitation.
Levi laughed:
"The Myriad Races Council has put a bounty on my head for a Turtle King Fruit that can extend one's life by a thousand years. Luo Wei must have taken this risk for this treasure. That's why I dared not be presumptuous and called my three clones and you here."
Hundred Flowers thought for a moment and said, "How about we call Triss over too? With the Wizard Tower and Triss, I'm confident we can fight against an eighth-ringed opponent. Add your three clones, Lope, the Dragonkin Giant, and the Seventh Ring Magic Array, and with all that strength combined, even if three eighth-ringed opponents come, we can hold them off for a while."
Levi for a moment.
"Isn't this going too far..."
Hundred Flowers said, "It wouldn't hurt to ask. What if Triss wants to come? Triss is in seclusion and refining medicine most of the time. At most, she fights against the lords of the Nightmare World. She rarely has such a real combat opportunity. Besides, you have the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm. Just like when we dealt with the Taigu last time, Triss and I can hide inside. If you can handle it, we won't come out."
Levi said, "Alright, I'll contact Ms. Triss."
Nightmare World.
Triss Wizard Tower.
"The Sixth Ring Breakthrough Potion is finally almost complete."
Each new Origin Soul Breakthrough Potion can earn you a considerable amount of battle merits from the Council.
Triss carefully organized the experimental data, which represented the culmination of her centuries of research.
"The Nightmare World is a wonderful place."
Triss knew that the Wizard World's higher-ups had once been very enthusiastic about research into the Nightmare World, but this research was abruptly halted after the Dreamland Spire incident of the Dream School.
Currently, it can be said that only Levi's side has a way to safely enter and exit the Nightmare World.
The Dawn Tower also established a special Dream School branch, responsible for researching related dream, illusion, and nightmare spells in the Nightmare World.
Triss was the advisor for this branch. Although she was not Dream School, her level of understanding was exceptional, her knowledge was vast, and her understanding of the Nightmare World was unmatched by anyone except Levi.
Upon seeing Levi log on, Triss coughed and said:
"I recently discovered some interesting information."
Levi asked:
"What's up?"
Triss said:
"The legacy of the Dreamland Spire does not seem to have been severed. They are simply trapped within the 'labyrinth' of the ' Lost Monarch's ' body. It is said that it is a world of its own, a magical dimension that can only be entered but not exited, comparable to the divine kingdom of the gods. The Lost Monarch keeps these wizards and their descendants as punishment for their capture of 'Pan'."
Levi said, "The Lost Monarch... I've heard of this being. He's very powerful. Those people in the Dreamland Spire are in a terrible state. They're trapped in nightmares endlessly, going through cycles of reincarnation, unable to escape. It's worse than death for them."
Triss said:
"Yes, researching the unknown comes at a price. By the way, is there something you wanted to talk to me about?"
Levi said seriously, "Madam... um, I'd like to ask you for help one more time. I may have to deal with a rather troublesome undercover agent from the Myriad Races Council next."
Triss didn't even ask who it was, but went straight to the point. "Sure? When? Who else is joining us?"
Levi asked:
"Madam, aren't you worried that the enemy is very strong and might put you in danger?"
Triss's lips curled up, and she couldn't help but laugh, "If the enemy were strong, you wouldn't have called me. You must be confident, but only 90%, so you asked me to fill in the last 10% for you, right? Tch, I know you too well."
Levi laughed:
"Madam understands me...that is indeed the case. Let me tell you about this person's situation."
After listening, Triss said, "Witch Luo Wei is quite famous in the Death School. I didn't expect him to be an undercover agent. Tell me your location, and I'll go to the God Forsaken Continent to find you and Hundred Flowers."
Several days later.
Triss arrived and, together with Elena, hid in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm. This operation wouldn't last long, and the strength of the Ancient Dragon Continent was no longer what it used to be. Even without a seventh-ring wizard in charge for the time being, it wouldn't matter.
After confirming that the murderer was Luo Wei, Levi roughly determined Luo Wei's activity range in the Endless Sea from the divination. He had already arranged for people to wait for him in the Black Market and taverns there, gradually leading Luo Wei to the God Forsaken Continent so that Levi could take action.
During this time, Levi's recording device must remain on at all times. If Luo Wei doesn't make a move, all is well. But if he does, Levi can claim self-defense. If he kills Luo Wei, the Wizard Council will have no grounds for complaint.
If Luo Wei truly is a spy for the Myriad Races Council, he must possess other clues. With these clues, Li Wei's killing of Luo Wei would be even more legitimate and justifiable. In short, Levi has prepared for this battle to the extreme.
Six months later.
Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
Under the banyan tree, a blonde girl with long flowing hair, dressed in a light green gauze dress, held a handful of playing cards in her delicate hands and smiled:
"Hehehe, I'm the landlord!"
Wearing leather armor, with her wavy blonde hair tied up, looking capable and dashing, Elena said:
"You're definitely going to lose this round."
Dressed with an air of professional scholarly confidence, Triss, her black hair piled high, said with certainty, "Indeed."
Beside the three, a Music Fungus was playing the cheerful tune of "Dou Dizhu" (a popular Chinese card game). Lope squatted to the side, like a child watching an old man play chess.
Elena asked, "Levi, what's the situation outside? Hasn't that person arrived yet?"
Levi's voice came through.
"No, I suspect he's lost. After all, I've been looking for him for years without success..."
The three women hadn't dared to immerse themselves in cultivation during this time, fearing a possible enemy attack at any moment. Bored out of their minds, Mana taught the other two women how to play "Dou Dizhu" (a popular Chinese card game) that Levi had taught her.
The three of them played cards, chatted, and whiled away the time under the tree, enjoying a rare period of relaxation and experiencing a taste of retirement life like Mana's.
Yunmeng Marsh.
The Turtle Prime Minister's Water Palace.
"Hahaha, I've broken through! I've broken through!"
The One-Horned Dragon Turtle roared to the sky, startling a group of Dragonkind.
"Lati, you've broken through to level six?"
The three Earthquake Dragon Three Brothers looked on incredulously.
Lati said slowly and excitedly, "No, I just broke through to the peak of level five..."
All the Dragonkind: "..."
The third brother of the Earthquake Dragon Trist, breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"I knew it! How could Lati be that fast? It would make me look stupid."
The Black Lotus Beast said solemnly:
"Don't laugh at Lati. Although he is developing slowly, he has the potential to become a level eight in the future. He just needs time."
The Vampire Dragon suddenly said sadly, "It's possible that all of us are dead, while Lati is still alive... At that time, among us Heavenly Dragon General and Earth Dragon General, I'm afraid only Little Ash Dragon will remain."
Black Lotus Beast Path:
"It's alright. We've already surpassed most of the wandering Dragonkind by being able to finish what we started. Don't forget, our Dragon Palace's mission is to take in more homeless Dragonkind and become the number one Dragonkind organization in the multiverse, resounding throughout the entire universe. We, the first generation of elders, will surely be remembered by future Dragonkind!"
The dragons were filled with emotion.
Within the blessed Heavenly Wind Canyon, a giant crimson crystal gradually cracked open, revealing a spiderweb-like network of fissures. A powerful aura emanated from it, soaring into the sky. In an instant, a fierce wind and dark clouds surged within a fifty-mile radius. This commotion quickly alerted the members of the Dragon Palace and the three women playing Dou Dizhu (a card game).
Elena asked, "What's going on? Such a powerful aura."
Mana said, "Don't panic. Judging from the location, it should be the Dragonkind that Levi took in before that are about to awaken. They are not enemies."
Triss looked slightly surprised.
"This aura is comparable to a seventh-ring perfect wizard. Where did Levi take in such a powerful Dragonkind? Has he discovered the Dragonkind's lair?"
For an ordinary wizard, possessing a Dragon Spawn is already a great honor, enough to carry on the family line and safeguard the clan's destiny.
This Levi is a litter of Dragon Spawn.
Levi was also alarmed and rushed to the scene, where he saw a group of Dragonkind forcefully surrounding the Wind Dust Dragon.
He said, "Everyone, please stay away. Heaven Leisure Dragon General has encountered some misfortune and has been asleep for too long. I'm afraid he's become ruthless and doesn't recognize his own family. I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt you."
The members of the Dragon Palace dispersed and hid in the distance.
Boom! The crimson crystal shattered, and the roar of a dragon echoed.
A giant white dragon with a wingspan of nearly two thousand meters, as pure and translucent as jade, emerged from the sky, surrounded by dreamlike white fiery clouds.
A gentle breeze stirred, and the giant dragon, as light as a feather, soared high into the air. It exuded the aura of a late-stage seventh-level cultivator, its eyes gazing around with a somewhat bewildered expression. Having slept for nearly two hundred years, three profound questions involuntarily surfaced in its mind:
Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?
It saw the Black Armor Swordsman standing with his arms crossed and was suddenly awakened.
Where is my master?
Who are you?
Without warning, it stirred up endless gales and swept towards Levi.
It awoke with a start to find its abilities many times greater than before it fell asleep... a casual strike was more powerful than its previous full-force attack! It only remembered that its master had fed it all the essence and Bloodline Crystal of the pure-blooded Dragonkind before it fell asleep. Now, it had no idea what year it was. The contract left by its former master seemed to have vanished, indicating his death.
Is this power?
It was filled with confidence.
"Now that you've seen me, the Dragon, why don't you kneel down!"
The rumbling sound spread in all directions.
The people of the Dragon Palace in the distance looked horrified.
"What's going on with Heaven Leisure Dragon General? Is this how he speaks to the Dragon King?"
"Exactly, it's trying to rebel."
"It's over, it's going to suffer."
Levi's expression turned cold. A golden force field appeared around him, and he stood motionless amidst the raging winds that could shatter the void.
Seeing that this move was useless, the Wind Dust Dragon opened its mouth and spat out an air cannon that exuded a destructive aura!
The air cannon had just flown out and hadn't even exploded when Levi cleaved it in two with a single sword strike, and the aftershocks of the explosion were also gently smoothed out by his Wind Illusion Realm.
Wind Dust Dragon was shocked and immediately turned and ran.
Even with his late-stage level 7 attack, he couldn't budge his opponent.
How can we fight this? Boom! The giant ape stomped on the river, blocking the path of the Wind Dust Dragon. It looked at its opponent with ill intent and laughed, "Go back, Heaven Leisure Dragon General."
Wind Dust Dragon was dumbfounded.
"My name isn't Heaven Leisure Dragon General, it's..."
Rumble! The heavens and earth changed color, and in an instant, six colossal dragon phantoms, each with a different and imposing form, surrounded the Wind Dust Dragon. Crimson flames filled the sky, golden light shone brightly, wind and thunder raged, and a boundless sea of blood appeared...
Six terrifying and bizarre phenomena suddenly appeared, shocking and awe-inspiring!
Levi smiled and said, "Heaven Leisure Dragon General, come back."
Feeling this imposing aura, the Wind Dust Dragon's bloodline trembled involuntarily, and the confidence it had gained from its sudden surge in strength vanished instantly. Although it didn't understand why these people called it "Heaven Leisure Dragon General," it could only prostrate itself and say, "Heaven Leisure Dragon General greets Your Excellency!"
After concluding the Master Dragon Contract, Levi smiled and said:
"Hmm, Heaven Leisure Dragon General lost his memory because he slept for too long this time. Just don't do it again in the future. I won't pursue this matter this time. Also, here are some Dragon Scale Fruit. Take them and eat them."
Wind Dust Dragon didn't know what Dragon Scale Fruit was, but he knew it was definitely a good thing. Just smelling it made him feel like he was about to become an immortal.
"Thank you, sir."
Having successfully resolved the issue of the Wind Dust Dragon, Levi extracted a portion of its bloodline. After some research and testing, he made a surprising discovery.
The Wind Illusion Dragon 'Wind Dust Dragon bloodline factors are extremely concentrated. Although it is still Wind Dust Dragon, it has undergone an unknown mutation, and advancing to level eight in the future is definitely not a problem. Furthermore, a white bead has been born within its body, emitting a hazy precious light, with fiery clouds drifting around it, clearly extraordinary.
"It's like the Dragon Ball from a past life."
Levi had a feeling that after this transformation, the Wind Dust Dragon would have the opportunity to completely revert to its ancestral form and return to the realm of the Wind Illusion Dragon.
"That's great. If we could get another pure-blooded Dragonkind, then this Dragon Palace would truly live up to its name."
This day.
Levi has just finished hunting down a small horde of demons.
Suddenly, black lines appeared in the void, stretching into the distance. These lines fell from the sky, burrowed into the earth, and eventually formed a prison covering an area of hundreds of miles. Levi tried to tear the void apart, but found he couldn't.
He looked calmly ahead.
In the void, wisps of crimson flames appeared and quickly filled the prison. A huge shadow floated in the sea of blood; it was a giant beast that resembled both a bat and a dragon, with wings that stretched to the sky like two lakes of blood.
On the dragon's head stood a black-robed wizard, exuding the aura of a seventh-circle master. His face was aged, surrounded by a sense of twilight, but his eyes were sharp and filled with a resolute killing intent.
Luo Wei said, "Lord Levi, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Levi smiled slightly.
"You've arrived."
Luo Wei's expression changed.
"How did you know I was coming? Oh no... you've ambushed me?"
Yes, Levi was able to escape from the hands of Eighth Level Demon multiple times, so he must have some kind of divination ability. He was so blinded by his lifespan limit that he forgot even this.
However, he quickly calmed down and smiled:
"It seems you're already prepared. If you have any more tricks up your sleeve, go ahead and use them. Today, it's either you or me who dies. I'm prepared to die."
Levi said, "You're an undercover agent for the Myriad Races Council, aren't you? Are you targeting me for the Turtle King Fruit?"
Having his purpose exposed by Levi's words, Luo Wei said, "Further words are useless. I'll borrow your head for a while!"
He raised his hand and unleashed a natural spell, blasting it towards Levi, while roaring:
"Attack! Take this man down immediately!"
Rumble! Rumble! A jet-black chain emerged from the void, like a black python, encircling Levi. A blood-flame breath Breaking Void and shot towards him!
The Nine-Colored Emperor emerged from behind Levi, gripping his sword with both hands. He slashed down fiercely, unleashing a vast Sword Qi Long River that surged into the void.
With a roar, a strangely shaped giant beast appeared out of thin air, its body radiating a sword aura.
This behemoth resembled a tiger or leopard, except that it was covered in obsidian-like dragon scale armor, with hundreds of black chains floating on its belly. Its head, however, was no different from a normal dragon's head.
Levi thought to himself:
"As expected, it is Black Prison Beast, a rare Dragon Spawn just like the Black Lotus Beast. Although its direct combat strength is not as good as the Black Lotus Beast, it is good at void travel, spatial imprisonment and other techniques. It is a natural space master and extremely difficult to deal with."
When he asked the three sisters to help him investigate clues about the Black Prison King, he roughly knew what he looked like, but he wasn't sure.
The other crimson behemoth is equally rare, being the [Blood Fiend Bat Dragon], which is on the same level as the Vampire Dragon. Moreover, it is in its complete form and has already reached level eight strength, making it equally rare to see.
Levi suddenly realized that the Secret Medicine that helped him advance his Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique came from Luo Wei.
He even sent people to investigate, wanting to find out who the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon's owner was, because he wanted to buy it...
This Luo Wei, what a grand gesture! To deal with me, he actually dispatched two top-tier level Dragon Spawn. Since that's the case, Levi will accept them without hesitation! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Three beams of light emerged from the void, Gandalf, Victor, and the fire dragon Ace appeared one after another.
Luo Wei's expression changed, his heart filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"What's going on? Why are the Three Heroes of Gondor here? Why are they listening to the Twilight Hall Master... Could it be that these three are just clones of the Twilight Hall Master, which is why they are as close as brothers?"
Thinking about this...
Luo Wei was already somewhat distraught before the fight even began.
Even if the Twilight Hall Master could kill an eighth-level being, or even foresee his own actions, he could accept it.
But if such powerful figures as the Three Heroes of Gondor alter egos of the Twilight Hall Master, he couldn't accept that.
How could there be such an awesome person in this world?! As soon as the three clones appeared, they cooperated with each other. Gandalf, with the Demon Subduing Wisdom King and the top-grade witch artifact in front, the Holy Infant behind, and Victor in the middle, used the Celestial Star Sword Array to slash at Luo Wei!
The Nine-Colored Emperor relied on his powerful innate spells and Origin Soul spells to entangle the Black Prison Beast.
The Black Prison Beast roared:
"Damn you, Luo Wei, you lied to me! You never said the Twilight Hall Master was that strong. Our cooperation is null and void. Farewell!"
Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best. It removed the chains that sealed off the void, its body flashing with black sparks, and ripples spread out in circles, turning the space within a hundred miles into a mirror.
The Black Prison Beast disappeared into the spatial ripples. Even the Nine-Colored Emperor's desperate attempts to stop it were futile.
Seeing this, Levi remained calm and composed.
He already knew where the Black Prison Beast's lair was, and the beast was unaware that he had obtained information about it. It was highly unlikely that it would move. He could wait until he was stronger enough to control the Black Prison Beast before trying to subdue it.
Now that he's discovered it, this Black Prison Beast will be his sooner or later.
Seeing the Black Prison Beast escape, Luo Wei, who had been utterly overwhelmed by the three clones, completely panicked. He had only had the Black Prison Beast to give him the confidence to fight Levi, but now, with only the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon and himself left, what was the point of fighting? The battle was over before it even began...
Everything was completely different from what he had expected! Luo Wei's face was filled with despair.
"Let's give it our all!"
The Blood Fiend Bat Dragon was already engaged in a fierce battle with Levi, like two ancient ferocious beasts colliding, the shockwaves tearing through the Firmament and shattering the earth.
Luo Wei exhausted all his strength, burning his spiritual power and unleashing a frenzied barrage of innate spells, only to have them all neutralized by Gandalf and the Holy Infant.
"Seven Stars Claim Life!"
As the sword formation, resembling the Big Dipper Seven Stars, took shape, endless sword energy engulfed Luo Wei. His Protective Force Field shattered quickly after a short time, and then his body was torn into pieces, turning into a pile of flesh.
Luo Wei's aged Origin Soul flew out and stood there motionless, his eyes fixed on the sword energy surrounding him, his face filled with resentment.
"Why is the world so unjust!"
Why?!
He only wanted a Turtle King Fruit to extend his lifespan by a thousand years and advance to the eighth ring, yet he was so thwarted... While the Twilight Hall Master, with just a casual clone, was a dazzling existence that he could only dream of, the most radiant star in the sky. Early fame, the admiration of thousands, a place in history. All of this was irrelevant to him.
As the spiderweb appeared, Leon flew out from the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, dragging Luo Wei's Origin Soul into it, where it was scattered by Lope's staff.
His Origin Soul began to disintegrate, elemental power dissipated, spiritual power vanished, traces of truth disappeared, and even his soul was taken away. From his appearance to his death, Luo Wei's existence was but a fleeting moment, like a flash in the pan.
Triss and Elena were both stunned.
"What's going on?"
"That's it?"
"Are we just going to play cards here for months on end?"
In the outside world, with Luo Wei's death, the contractual restrictions he placed on the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon naturally dissipated.
The Blood Fiend Bat Dragon already disliked Luo Wei, but was forcibly contracted, just like the Black Lotus Beast before.
Now that the contract has been dissolved, it used all its strength to unleash a negative energy flame like a blood-red sun, which exploded with a deafening roar.
"Human, I have no desire to be your enemy. I was only coerced before. Why don't we settle our differences now?"
"The Blood Fiend Bat Dragon said."
Levi and the Nine-Colored Emperor surrounded him, his feet transforming into hooks that pierced into the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon's body, and his greatsword embedded in the dragon's scales.
"Even if we're even? Dream on! I saved you and granted you your freedom, how are you going to repay me?"
Blood Fiend Bat Dragon Path:
"I know some of the treasure troves of Luo Wei, as well as the Truth Wonder that you wizards love most. You just need to release me, and I will tell you."
Levi thought to himself.
Then I can't let you go! He said, "That's not enough. Acknowledge me as your master and become my subordinate, and I might spare your life."
Blood Fiend Bat Dragon said coldly:
"Human, don't push your luck too far. How can I, a dignified eighth-level Dragonkind, live in subservience to humans? Since you are determined to die, then I will fight you to the death."
Levi had three clones surround him, and all sorts of attacks bombarded his massive body incessantly.
"You're dreaming. You want us to fight to the death?"
Seeing that the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon refused to submit, Levi stopped wasting words.
As the Nine-Colored Emperor raised his hand, a series of innate spells were unleashed.
Levi chanted incantations, and the Seven Suns Descend, followed by a series of Origin Soul spells such as the Thunder Beast Art.
Boom! The terrifying explosion caused the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon's hard scales to fly off piece by piece, leaving it a bloody mess. Levi couldn't help but feel heartache.
"I'll ask you one more time, are you willing to submit to me? I really don't want to see you suffer."
Blood Fiend Bat Dragon: "???"
Don't hit me if you don't want me to suffer...
It exerted all its strength to break through the blockade of the three-part body, and took Levi into the void, only to find that Levi was stuck to it, completely unmoved.
The Nine-Colored Emperor descended through the air, his greatsword and innate spells striking it simultaneously.
Boom! In the wilderness thousands of miles away.
The Blood Fiend Bat Dragon's body crashed down from the void, shattering several mountain peaks and cracking the earth. Levi clung to it like a leech, refusing to let go.
The Black Soul Magic Tower appeared out of thin air, shrouded by a domain of Death Storm, and the Dark Evil Soul slashed down with the Grim Reaper's scythe!
Spirit Weapon, Miya, and the level seven shadow that Levi had just acquired all appeared and pinned it to the ground. Lope, holding a bone club, struck it down! At the top of the clouds, six terrifying and majestic dragon phantoms watched over it. Just that aura alone made it lose all will to fight.
It said, "I'm willing to submit, please stop fighting."
Anyway, I've already experienced all the hardships of life with Luo Wei.
It refused to believe that things could get any worse here.
Moreover, this person's strength far surpasses that of Luo Wei, and he seems to be an unparalleled genius among wizards. If he truly submits, I won't suffer any loss.
Levi approached with his sword, stood atop its head, and said, "Very well, sign the Master Dragon Contract, and I will make them stop."
After the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon recognized him as its master, Levi's face showed undisguised joy.
"I actually have an eighth-level Dragon Spawn! Heaven is helping me!"
After cleaning up the battlefield, he put the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon into the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm and quickly left.
The Necromancy Tower.
Inside the tower, a sorcerer with a sallow, skeletal face, dressed in a sinister black robe, stared in disbelief at the shattered Soul Tablet.
"Hiss, Luo Wei has fallen?"
"Alas, in the end, it was all defeated by the passage of time."
"What a pity. He was still several decades away from the average lifespan of a seventh-ring wizard. It seems he kept a Blood Fiend Bat Dragon as a pet. I wonder where it was taken before he died."
This gaunt wizard was none other than Luo Wei's teacher and the tower master of the Necromancy Tower, possessing a perfect eighth-ring cultivation level.
A few years ago, Luo Wei bid him farewell, saying he was going on a long journey.
He knew that Luo Wei was worried that after he died of old age, he would take over his Blood Fiend Bat Dragon. He was probably making arrangements for his own affairs and leaving the legacy to his descendants hidden in the Wizard World.
Therefore, he had already anticipated today's outcome and was not very surprised.
"No matter what, a funeral will still be held for a fallen Origin Soul."
Seven days later, Luo Wei's funeral was held at the Necromancy Tower, but few people attended. He was a loner and didn't have many friends, so no one cared much about his death.
The Wizard Council's enforcers also arrived. After confirming the situation and learning that Luo Wei had died of natural causes, they went through the proper procedures and did not pursue the matter further. Everyone was busy with the war, and such birth, aging, sickness, and death were the most normal thing in the world; they had already gotten used to it.
Hell.
The Eighth Layer.
The underground cave is eerily quiet and filled with the spirits of wronged souls.
A gigantic black beast phantom appeared out of thin air, its expression one of lingering fear, muttering to itself:
"That damned Luo Wei almost got me killed too. Is this the late-stage level seven powerhouse he was talking about?"
It stared at the hideous wound on its belly.
Although it is almost healed, it shows that the Twilight Hall Master has the strength to break through defenses and even injure him.
The Black Prison Beast has lived in Hell for thousands of years, always walking on thin ice, and its sense of danger is exceptionally sharp.
"Fortunately, I'm in the shadows, in Hell, so the Twilight Hall Master shouldn't bother me. But I still have to be on guard. I've heard that he's quite influential in the Wizard World."
With that in mind, the Black Prison Beast contacted an acquaintance.
A projection appeared in the void. She was slender and had a figure like that of a peerless beauty, with a curvaceous figure that was incredibly alluring... It was just a pity that there was a skull on her head.
"Sister, I remember you seemed to have dealings with the Twilight Hall Master before. How strong is he?"
This skull is none other than the Death Banshee.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the Black Prison Beast's sworn sister.
The Death Banshee said, "What? Did you offend the Twilight Hall Master?"
Black Prison Beast Path:
"No, I was just asked to do something. I exchanged blows with him briefly and then left. He probably doesn't know me or where I am."
The Death Banshee, "You'd better watch yourself. This person is powerful and has a deep background; he's not someone to be trifled with. Even my sister, White Bone Lady, is quite wary of him..."
The Black Prison Beast gasped and said:
"What? White Bone Lady is a level nine expert."
The Death Banshee sneered.
"The Twilight Hall Master's growth potential is terrifying. He will definitely reach level nine in the future; it's just a matter of time. That's why I didn't hold it against him for stealing my Nether Soul Jujube Tree."
The Black Prison Beast said with a sigh:
"What should we do then? You're smart, help me think of a solution."
The Death Banshee, "To be on the safe side, in case he finds you, you should leave the Eighth Layer and go to the Ninth Layer. Wizards have many methods, and you may not be safe now."
The Black Prison Beast was devastated, never expecting things to turn out this way.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go to the Ninth Layer to lay low for a while, and I'll come back when it's safe."
The Darkness Zone.
A swampy world.
Inside the underwater palace, Blood Vortex Venerable's eyes flickered.
It had sensed that its most important and strongest avatar was dead, and not from old age, but killed by the Twilight Hall Master...
"It's still not feasible to pursue the Wizard's Path."
"Lifespan is stuck here. Without exceptional talent and luck, it will all come to nothing in the end."
"The Twilight Hall Master is indeed troublesome. No wonder he's worth a Turtle King Fruit. He has now fully grown up. Without deploying a level nine expert, it will be difficult to defeat him. However, if a level nine expert is deployed, it will be easily detected by the powerful members of the Wizard Council. In that case, we might end up losing more than we gain."
"Ordinary methods are no longer feasible. Individual strength is ultimately limited. The only way is to spread hatred to get more people to join us and the army to fight against the Twilight Demon King, so that we can bury the Wizard Civilization and the Twilight Hall Master together."
One month later.
With Luo Wei's troubles resolved, Levi felt a great sense of relief. The lingering sense of danger was no longer so intense or urgent. Previously, in the God Forsaken Land, there seemed to be an unknown entity trying to deal with him, but now he no longer sensed that hostility.
Levi didn't know the reason, but it was a good thing.
Although he enjoys fighting back to seize treasures, it doesn't mean he enjoys the dangerous feeling of being targeted by others.
Moreover, Levi also learned that the funeral of Wizard Luo Wei had recently concluded.
Necromancy Tower, its organization, and the Wizard Council simply treated Luo Wei's death as a normal death from old age.
Because Luo Wei himself was not far from his end and could die of old age at any time, while the average lifespan of a seventh-ring wizard was only three thousand years, and some people might die of old age at 2900.
In this way, the problem that Levi had worried about was no longer a problem, and Luo Wei became a thing of the past.
Hundred Flowers and the Three Heroes of Gondor returned to the God Forsaken Continent to begin their demon-hunting journey. Triss, on the other hand, returned to the Ancient Dragon Continent to continue her research on Nightmare Sequence Potions.
During this time, Levi also took stock of Luo Wei's spoils, which turned out to be quite meager.
As a seventh-ring perfected wizard, he only had 300 million Great Stone in cash. He had no Soul Stone, no rare items, and only one seventh-ring soul weapon, which was shattered by the Celestial Star Sword Array. He only had some decent Origin Soul spells, which Levi collected and kept for future use.
After taking stock, the most valuable item turned out to be the treasure used to control the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon, named the "Dragon Binding Lock," which is an eighth-level rare treasure.
Its sole purpose is to control Dragonkind. Any Dragon Spawn, dragon descendants, including pure-blooded Dragonkind below level eight, can be forcibly controlled using this artifact. However, its control effect is far inferior to Levi's Dragon Might and Scarlet Enslavement.
"It seems that Luo Wei has gone to great lengths to advance to the eighth ring, selling everything he owns and giving it his all, but in the end, he's still far from it. Even if I don't kill him, he won't live much longer..."
Of course, Luo Wei still left Levi something good.
A rare artifact of the Death Faction, of the Bright Moon level. Coincidentally, this artifact is located in Dragonfall Valley, a place that Levi frequents, and which Luo Wei also often visits.
He went to check immediately, and it was indeed so, but it was still in the gestation stage, carefully hidden and meticulously protected by Luo Wei. Artifacts from the Death School were quite rare, and Levi was very much looking forward to them.
As for the Black Prison Beast, Levi did not seek trouble with it for the time being.
With his current strength, it wouldn't be easy for him to keep it. He might as well improve himself before going, so as not to alert the enemy.
Nightmare World.
[Heavenly Fiend Dragon General] The Blood Fiend Bat Dragon hovers high in the sky.
Behind him, a group of dragon generals followed closely. Everyone was incredibly excited to see an eighth-level Dragonkind join the Dragon Palace.
They immediately took the new members to familiarize themselves with the Nightmare World, which would become their second home from then on.
After a month in the new organization, Blood Fiend Bat Dragon's experience was surprisingly good. Its new master had not beaten or scolded it, only occasionally performing routine blood tests, which it said were good for its health.
It asked its other brothers in the Dragon Palace, and they all said in unison that it was true... In addition, it also ate the Dragon Scale Fruit, a sacred treasure of the Dragonkind. Even the stingy Luo Wei, who had seen it at the auction, wouldn't buy it for himself. It can be said that its Blood Fiend Bat Dragon's achievements today are entirely due to its own efforts.
Compared to that, the Dragon Palace is still much better, as it is home to a group of like-minded and simple-minded Dragonkind brothers and sisters.
What's even more surprising is that they're guaranteed to be assigned a female dragon here. The Dragon King said that as long as they work hard, they'll have everything they need.
It even encountered the pure-blooded Ash Dragon Dragonkind the legendary Water Calamity Giant Ape here... Good heavens, it had truly stumbled into an organization with limitless light and a bright future! The Wind Dust Dragon, gradually accepting its identity as the Heaven Leisure Dragon General, felt similarly. The Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm was truly a Land of Peach Blossoms, free from the watchful eyes of outside wizards. It could simply grow freely here and even explore new worlds in the Nightmare World.
Levi rested in Triss's Wizard Tower. He stood at the window, looking at the Dragonkind in the distance, his heart filled with the joy of his harvest.
Triss said:
"I remember, didn't the guardian of the Sleeping Dragon Realm, that pure-blooded dragon, invite you during the auction?"
Levi said, "Yes, that dragon senior saved me once, and then it fell into a deep sleep, probably because of the great battle with the Black Sun... When it wakes up next time, I will pay a visit to thank it in person."
Triss joked, "I just feel like one day you could take all the Dragonkind in the Wizard World into your harem."
Levi smiled, thinking to himself:
"I hope so."
Six months later.
The Darkness Zone.
A small, abandoned plane.
The Black Dragon Wizard looked at the intelligence report from his subordinates with a look of surprise.
"The Twilight Hall Master is still alive, but Luo Wei is dead. Judging from the Blood Vortex Venerable's ugly face, Luo Wei's operation must have failed, so he was killed by the Twilight Hall Master... I knew it. The Twilight Hall Master can kill Eighth Level Demon. How could he be so easy to deal with?"
"Luckily, I made a quick decision and gave up decisively."
"This Turtle King Fruit is good, but you have to be alive to get it."
The Black Dragon Wizard, having escaped unscathed, was secretly relieved by his own cleverness.
