Shadow World, Taking on the Ghost Elephant!

In wars between extraordinary civilizations, unless one is a top-tier being like Sauron, even the most outstanding individual can hardly tip the scales of war.

In fact, there are also some exceptionally talented demons. It's just that their strength is more evenly distributed, unlike the greater individual differences among wizards.

Despite the favorable circumstances of the three-hundred-year Blood War, the wizards suffered far fewer losses than the demons, thanks to the combination of favorable timing, location, and popular support in the Wizard World. However, the current situation remains far from optimistic.

This time, the scale of Nora's Blood War far surpasses that of the previous ones.

There are already six level 10 demons on the front lines.

In this vast Wu Yin Darkness Zone, the Abyss has dug countless wells.

Nowadays, fewer and fewer wizards dare to travel between dimensions.

Because the Darkness Zone are more dangerous than ever before, there is a considerable chance of encountering wandering demons that ambush wizards and devour passing creatures.

In terms of numbers, the only ones that can rival the demons are the black beasts, but the black beasts are too scattered and have not formed a relatively orderly organization.

A wizard proposed a plan to select talent from the Spiritism School to vigorously develop the Animal Taming industry and use Purification Potion to restore the black beasts to normal.

Then, specialized Animal Taming will provide basic training and control. No advanced skills or understanding are required; they simply need to be trained and used to fight on the battlefield.

In this way, a massive army of extraordinary creatures can be assembled to fight demons and reduce the losses of wizards. As the Blood War intensifies, any available force that can be used by wizards must be utilized.

Ancient Dragon Continent.

"I'm still short 400 million points, and there are less than three years left. I definitely won't be able to accumulate enough. I might as well prepare for the next time I enter Hell and the Ancient Tower."

Levi looked exhausted; even someone as renowned as him was indeed tired.

I fell into a deep sleep, and a month passed in a single night.

After waking up, he brewed Mind-Clearing Tea and felt refreshed.

He opened the proficiency face.

The Golden Radiance Dragon Breathing Technique has reached the late stage of level seven, further enhancing its defensive capabilities, and its Magneto Domain has reached a diameter of 25 kilometers. Now that the quality of the Secret Medicine has improved, the cultivation speed of other Breathing Technique has also returned to normal, far exceeding that before.

Over the years, I've honed my spells in real combat, pushing "Coin of Transferring Luck," "Voice of the Wild," and "Wind of Shadow" to their limits. Of the 16 Origin Soul spells I currently possess, only a few of the more difficult and later-learned ones remain unmastered.

The Moon Rune is now at Tenth Rank, increasing lifespan by 90%. If it's upgraded another level, Levi's lifespan will double.

Lifespan, a problem that plagues Great Wizard, was never an issue for Levi.

Over the past decade or so, through Levi's efforts, he has slain four more Eighth Level Demon, unlocking the milestone of killing ten level-eight powerhouses despite being of a higher level. Due to losses in battle, he currently only has nine level-seven shadows, but that's enough.

He is now eligible to exchange for random Sun Flare Oddity, but he doesn't intend to gamble on luck and remains focused on the Shadow Emblem.

During this period, when Levi was reviewing his troops, he discovered that his Shadow Legion had suffered abnormal losses. Many shadows were injured in the Shadow World. Some even severed their connection with Levi, disappearing without a trace after being summoned, seemingly having been killed.

The phenomenon of shadows being damaged in the Shadow World has existed before, since the Shadow World is not only home to his shadow, but also to many other shadow creatures.

But it has never been this frequent.

After some investigation, Levi learned from some of the escaped shadows that he had been attacked by the Shadow Demon. This convinced him that the demons were targeting him in an organized manner.

Although Levi can keep hunting new demons to replenish his shadows, at this rate, when will he be able to gather 10,000 elite Shadow Dragon Multitude?

Losing a level four shadow wouldn't be so bad, since they were going to be eliminated anyway, so Levi wouldn't be too bothered. But losing a level five shadow means he would have to hunt down a level six demon to make up for it.

Having rested enough for the day, Levi muttered incantations, and a pitch-black door appeared before him. This was the [Shadow Door], not some profound spell, but simply a portal to the Shadow World, similar to entering Hell.

He used the Coin of Destiny to cast a divination. The Gold Coins fell, and surprisingly, it was a rare tailspan with a crying face. This made Levi's expression turn serious. He tried to approach the door, and his sense of danger was frantically warning him, far exceeding the level of danger he faced when confronting Eighth Level Demon.

"We can't go there; it might be a trap set by the devil..."

Levi withdrew the spell and closed his eyes in deep thought.

The Shadow World, an unknown and mysterious place.

The rules there, and everything there, cannot be measured by common sense.

It is also a large world, and quite large in size, with many level 10 beings.

Although it is not a super-large dimension, its level of danger is no less.

Because apart from shadow creatures, no other superhuman can fully adapt to the rules of the Shadow World, which are so different from those of the prime material plane.

Levi's shadows usually reside in the Shadow World.

He will only summon you to the Wizard World during battles.

For a moment, Levi was in a dilemma, finding himself in an unusually passive position.

He learned from Louise that the Shadow Demon Queen, the ruler of billions of Shadow Fiends, had also come to the Nora World to join the war.

This makes sense: the Shadow Demon Queen sent Shadow Fiends to hunt down her own shadows in the Shadow World.

"Damn it, they can't beat me, so they mess with my shadow."

Levi naturally couldn't just sit and wait for his death, but he couldn't think of a good solution either.

He was only a seventh-ring wizard; how could he possibly fight against the Shadow Demon Queen? After much thought, he decided to seek help.

The Central Realm.

Black Abyss Tower.

Levi asked:

"Senior, what do you think is the best way to break this deadlock?"

The Abyss Walker frowned and pondered, "This is indeed troublesome. The Shadow School, currently the strongest in the Wizard World are the Great Wizard, whose cultivation is far inferior to the Shadow Demon Queen. They simply don't have the qualifications to fight her..."

Everyone has their own area of expertise. The Abyss Walker may be better than Levi in the Shadow Realm, but that's not enough to solve Levi's problem.

"Here's what we'll do: you go back first, and I'll ask the Legendary Wizard and those Great Wizard of the Shadow School for you."

Levi said:

"Thank you, senior!"

The Abyss Walker suddenly asked, "By the way, have you prepared the potion for advancing to the eighth ring?"

Levi said, "No, but I checked and it can be exchanged with battle merits, so it's not a problem."

The Abyss Walker said:

"Even so, you should still take the potion formula."

Levi's face lit up with joy after receiving it.

But it read "Formless Phaseless Dream Bubble Potion".

A quick glance revealed that it was indeed a breakthrough potion made primarily of demonic materials, just like the previous Mind Flayer and Succubus Potion.

This is an eighth-ring potion, a superior potion among breakthrough potions. The main materials required are [Formless Demon Crystal Core], [Formless Demon Heart], [Sleep Demon Brain], and [Shadow Demon Claw], all of which are level eight.

The auxiliary materials also include [Dream Spirit Grass], [Eighth Ring Void Orb], [Devil Dragon Grass], etc... The breakthrough success rate is 18%, which is 5% higher than the superior "Lady Spring's Potion" that Levi saw, allowing him to achieve a saturated success rate for advancement.

"I already have half of the main material."

Levi had killed one of the Formless Demon before, and deliberately kept its crystal core.

The Formless Demon is actually the Swamp Demon, Levi also possesses.

No, it's either a level 8 Sandman or a level 8 Shadow Fiend.

Now, in the God Forsaken Continent, there are traces of the Sandman's activities.

Gandalf still harbors a deep grudge against the Lady Sleep Demon, who cursed Soraya in the past. He has already gathered most of her information and tracks. He simply lacks the strength to exact revenge yet, but Levi can help him later. The Shadow Fiend isn't a problem either; since the Shadow Demon Queen has arrived, her minions will surely appear on the battlefield.

As for the [Dream Spirit Grass], Levi doesn't have it, but judging from the name, it's related to nightmares and Nightmare. Perhaps he can find it in the Nightmare World.

The Eighth Ring Void Orb requires hunting Level 8 Void Spirit Clan.

Levi frequently interacts with the people from the Myriad Races Council. There are Void Spirit Clan there, but that shouldn't be difficult to deal with.

The Devil Dragon Grass could have been Dragon Ruins Weird Realm, but the Dread Realm have been destroyed and it's inaccessible now. Besides trying his luck at the auction, Levi knows of another place where it might be found: the giant dragon in the Sleeping Dragon Realm.

He also intended to pay a visit, so he would bring some gifts and ask Ya Lishan Zhuo to put in a good word for him; he should be able to get one.

Over the years, he has accumulated a lot of Flame Demon materials, but unfortunately, he doesn't have enough Devil Dragon Grass to refine Seven-Ring Breakthrough Potions to sell for money. If he could completely solve the Devil Dragon Grass problem, he wouldn't have to worry about future expenses.

Levi said gratefully:

"Thank you, senior."

Actually, he had originally wanted to ask Abyss Walker about the potion recipe, but he was too shy to keep bothering this senior and wanted to solve it himself.

However, since the Abyss Walker offered it to him voluntarily, he naturally wouldn't be polite.

Levi kept the kindness of these predecessors firmly in his heart.

He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

These are things I will have to repay in the future.

This is a form of venture capital, just like Triss's investment in him. It's not about profit; on the contrary, Levi sees it as a matter of trust. Genuine friendship and affection can also be built in the relationship between investor and investee.

For example, with him and Triss, perhaps at first they were just using each other, but now, Triss is like family to him, someone he can trust.

Ms. Lucy, Black Abyss Senior, Overturning Sea Wizard are all examples of the same principle.

The Abyss Walker said:

"Go back. Although I don't know much about the Shadow World, I think the only way to solve your problem is to transfer those shadows from the Shadow World to the Wizard World and prevent them from returning."

Levi said, "I understand."

Although the shadow was used by Levi, it was essentially a creature of shadow.

Their birth, and their daily lives, must take place in the Shadow World.

Summoning them also requires Levi to expend his own mental energy, just like Summon Undead creatures.

However, the undead are different from shadow creatures. They are more adaptable to the Wizard World and can stay here for a long time. Moreover, the wizards' research on the undead far surpasses that on shadow creatures, and they have developed various places for the undead to settle and cultivate, such as the Black Soul Magic Tower and the Undead Graveyard.

"I need to find a way to create a small Shadow World in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm in order to fundamentally solve these problems and allow my army of shadow creatures to escape the clutches of the Shadow Demon."

The Shadow World.

This is a world with only Black-White colors.

It is so vast that even Nora cannot compare to it.

Some shadow wizards say that the Shadow World is the opposite and mirror image of the material plane.

Some say that in ancient times, the Shadow World, like Nightmare, Abyss, Astral Realm, and Underworld, was a super-large plane.

Because it is a reflection of multiple dimensions, it has a network of shadow dimensions that can connect to all parts of the universe, like the Astral Realm Ruin Sea.

It was only due to some unknown change that the Shadow World was downgraded, but even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse, and it is still a leader among the large planes.

Some also suggest that the Shadow World, like the Nine Hells, is merely a subsidiary world of some undiscovered colossal plane.

Some scholars refer to this unknown world as the "Dark Side World," but there is currently no direct evidence of its existence.

In short, this is a very special world. All spells of the burning, light, and Thunder Faction will be ineffective here and cannot be used in actual combat.

The power of spells from other factions will also be severely weakened, with the only exception being shadow spells.

In the wilderness.

The shadow of the Giant Whale King is resting, awaiting its master's summons.

Suddenly, a peak level six aura descended from the sky.

"Hehehe, found you!"

The next moment, a door appeared.

The shadow of the Giant Whale King vanished in an instant, clearly having been summoned away.

Shadow Fiend watched the vanished Giant Whale King, unwilling to leave.

Emperor Palace.

Before Levi were numerous ancient texts from the Shadow School, as well as many magical Crystal Ball.

The Causes of Shadow World, Introduction to Shadows, Hypothesis of the Shadow Kingdom, The Design of the Book of Shadows...

Some of these books were purchased by Levi himself at great expense, but most were found for Levi by the Abyss Walker through his connections with the Great Wizard of the Shadow School.

The Great Wizard also gave Levi many ideas and suggestions, which helped Levi to make some progress.

"It's not difficult to keep the shadow creatures in the Wizard World. We can build a wizarding artifact similar to the Book of the Dead. However, this artifact is only a temporary shelter, like a stagnant pool. The shadow creatures inside cannot draw on shadow power to recover their strength or heal their injuries... We also need a sufficiently powerful energy source to ensure the daily needs of my tens of thousands of shadow creatures. That's the most difficult part."

"If only there were something like the Graveyard of the Dead my Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, which could convert elemental power into shadow power. The description of the Shadow Emblem in the Strange Object Illustrated Handbook is vague; I wonder if it has such a function?"

As he pondered, Levi looked up. The shadow of the Giant Whale King stood there quietly, also injured. He resisted the urge to go to the Shadow World and beat up the shadow demon.

"Let's wait and let them be smug for a while."

Two years later.

Nora, 516 years, Blood War, 302 years.

In the Central Realm, three figures arrived at the Bloody Battle Holy Temple; they were the Three Heroes of Gondor.

After three hundred years of Blood War, they finally accumulated fifty million battle merits.

After the drawing, the Holy Infant received a ring radiating Golden Legend light, Gandalf received a miniature blue whale phantom, and Victor received a fluctuating, chilling wind.

The three returned to Gondor City with their artifacts, their faces expressionless. Then, the Holy Infant and Victor skillfully exchanged the artifacts.

Gandalf laughed and said, "I was lucky; I drew the one I needed right away."

His artifact, the [Silent Whale Heart], is a Ocean Faction artifact. Although it's not a body-refining artifact, it's still very useful for his cultivation of the "Thousand-Handed Ancient God Body Refinement Technique." Unfortunately, it's not a sequence artifact, so its future growth potential isn't very high.

That golden ring is the [Golden Emperor Ring], belonging to the Golden Emperor Sequence.

In the same sequence are other wondrous items such as the [Golden Emperor Sword], [Golden Emperor Boots], [Golden Emperor Chain], and [Golden Emperor Armor], all of which are wondrous items of the Bright Moon and Morning Star.

The [Golden Emperor Sequence] is somewhat inferior to Levi's [Thunder God Sequence], Hundred Flowers's [Water God Sequence], and Frost's [Frost God Sequence], and is about the same level as Holy Infant's [Winter Emperor Sequence].

That biting, icy wind was the [Winter Emperor Breath], precisely the rare item the Holy Infant needed. Unexpectedly, Victor had such good luck, drawing it on his first try.

The Holy Infant said, "Let's refine the rare artifacts first. Once we all have the cultivation level of the seventh ring, Victor and I plan to develop the complete Celestial Star Sword Array. Gandalf, you should stop hunting demons alone to avoid being targeted by the Myriad Races Council or powerful demons. You should focus on studying the Amethyst Body Refinement Method at the Body Refinement Academy."

Victor said:

"Yes, the three of us working together can fight Eighth Level Demon, but when we are alone, our cultivation level is too low, and we can only run away when facing Eighth Level Demon."

Gandalf said:

"That makes sense. I'm just waiting for Victor, to master your sword formation so you can take us flying, hahaha."

After completing their future plans, the three individuals immediately returned to their respective homes.

Fire Dragon Shop.

Since refining the Morning Star artifact, Ya Lishan Zhuo and Aisley have stopped hunting demons on the God Forsaken Continent and instead focused on crafting artifacts and cultivating at the Fire Dragon Shop.

Upon seeing the master's return, Ya Lishan Zhuo greeted him, "Master, it's been a long time."

The Holy Infant laughed:

"Yeah, I think you guys should be close to the seventh ring road by now."

Ya Lishan Zhuo sighed and said:

"Sigh, still a bit lacking. My mental strength is almost at its limit, but my witch marks are still a bit short..."

Aisley felt a little melancholy, but still smiled sweetly and said:

"Actually, we are already very satisfied with being able to advance to the Origin Soul. Ever since we met the master, my sister and I have known that we are ultimately not from the same world."

They have known the master for over seven hundred years, and both of them have lived for over 1,300 years. Although the descendants of the dragon have long lifespans, they are less than a thousand years away from the end of their lifespans.

With their talent, advancing to the seventh ring within a hundred or two hundred years shouldn't be a problem, and they'll extend their lifespan by over a thousand years. Even if they're lucky enough to advance to the eighth ring in the remaining time, they'll likely only be the most ordinary kind, with no hope of ever reaching the Ninth Ring.

A genius like the Grandmaster will undoubtedly reach the Ninth Ring, barring any unforeseen circumstances. If he can't reach the Ninth Ring, then the Wizard World has no future.

Upon hearing Aisley's words, Ya Lishan Zhuo also expressed her unusual melancholy, saying, "Master, you said that every one of us wizards is running around like headless chickens, racing against time, meditating, researching, cultivating, and searching for resources within a limited time. In the end, we still die of old age, and even lose many of life's pleasures because of it. Is it really worth it?"

The Holy Infant, busy all day long, naturally hadn't thought about such a question.

He thought for a moment and said seriously, "I think it's worth it. Everyone needs a goal in life. Even if you know you can't achieve it, you won't have lived in vain. Stop thinking nonsense. After you advance to the seventh ring as soon as possible, go and exchange it for the Full Moon Wonder. After refining it, you will be able to experience the power of this high-level treasure. The Blood War is an opportunity for us ordinary wizards. We must seize it!"

Aisley couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, Ace just an ordinary wizard... Thank you for your guidance, Master."

The Holy Infant said solemnly, "Then hurry up and start cultivating. Ten thousand years is too long. Seize the day."

After giving the two girls, who were feeling discouraged by his actions, some advice, the Holy Infant went to refine the wondrous objects. He never thought about these philosophical questions.

Living itself is meaningful; everything we do has meaning.

For him, striving to improve his cultivation level and forging the most powerful magical artifact is his ultimate goal. One day, why can't he, the Holy Infant, forge a magical artifact comparable to the Dark Ancient Tower, turning his value into eternity and immortality in the world!

Ancient Dragon Continent.

The Dawn Tower, in the drizzling rain.

At Ms. Winnie's residence, Li Ya, Herman, Yolman, and a group of teachers and students stood silently, the atmosphere somewhat somber.

Winnie's eyelids were lowered, surrounded by an aura of death and a somber mood. Her stunningly beautiful face, maintained by magic, could not conceal her aging, and her golden hair began to turn gray.

Looking at Winnie, Levi felt as if time had turned back to that afternoon more than nine hundred years ago, when the blonde senior sister on the ship introduced the basic knowledge of the Wizard World to the young Knight.

I am 940 years old now. Winnie is a little older than me, but she is not even a thousand years old. However, she is also approaching the end of her life, not yet living to the average lifespan of a thousand years.

This situation is quite common.

Some wizards who have used spells that deplete their life force or frequently burn their spiritual energy and deplete their life essence will experience accelerated aging.

Looking at the silent crowd, Winnie suddenly smiled and said, "Everyone, there's no need to be so discouraged. A good beginning and a good end. Death is not the end, but the rebirth of life. In my next life, I might be able to accompany you all in other ways, with a new name and identity... It's just that we won't know each other."

She held a herb in her hands, picked from the Mai Lin Herb Garden, and murmured to herself:

"The herbs that Granny Mai planted back then have now matured."

As she spoke, her eyelids began to droop, and drowsiness overcame her.

She struggled to open her eyes, waved her hand, and said:

"Farewell, everyone."

Herman said in a hoarse, electromagnetic voice:

Goodbye, little Winnie.

Stella said:

"Winnie, see you in the next life."

The equally aged Li Ya pursed her lips and said bitterly:

"Sister Winnie, I will miss you."

Levi said, "Goodbye, Senior Sister Winnie..."

Upon hearing her senior's name, Winnie trembled slightly, her eyes reminiscing about distant years.

She smiled sweetly and said, "Goodbye, Little Levi, hurry up and let everyone leave... My anti-aging technique is about to give way, hahaha!"

Levi nodded and turned to leave.

Everyone went up to say goodbye, or hugged and kissed, in their own way.

When the music ended and everyone left, only Winnie remained in the room.

"Let's cast one last spell, Winnie..."

A lonely, desolate voice spoke.

Her dim eyes brightened, and she began to mutter to herself.

"At the end of life, my body dissolves in water, all rivers flow to the sea, and my soul returns to the netherworld..."

Zero-Circle Cantrip: Hydrolysis.

This spell is mastered by many Oceanic School wizards; it is the first spell many people learn on their Wizard's Path, and also the last spell that ends that journey.

Within Winnie's body, it was as if a stream was flowing; her body transformed into a pool of salty seawater, and then evaporated into water vapor.

Apart from a beautiful witch's robe, there was nothing else on the spot.

This kind of death was considered by many ancient wizards to be a relatively dignified way to die. It was better than having one's body turned into an undead creature or torn apart by wild beasts.

Starry Night.

It seems that stars have lit up again because of this.

Levi gazed at the stars in the deep sky, his expression calm.

Of the group of companions he met after joining the Gray-White Tower, apart from the Tower Master and Yolman, everyone else had already left him.

Separation and death are the main themes of life.

Of course, as the old things fade away, new things are born. The Gray-White Tower is now the Dawn Tower, and those young wizards are the inheritors and the continuation of that legacy.

After finishing his work, Herman brought the White Snake to Levi's side.

He said, "After a thousand years, only the three of us remain... a snake, a mechanical monster, and you, the great genius."

Yolman looked up, his eyes filled with sorrow.

Although it is a hybrid Dragonkind, its lifespan is only a few hundred years left, after all, it is from the same era as the first tower master Salman.

Levi sighed:

"Yes, Yolman, try to live as long as you can."

As a member of the Dragon Palace, it has also drunk a lot of the Ageless Spring Water, so it should live longer than ordinary level-five hybrid Dragonkind.

Levi wasn't worried about the tower master.

He was able to inherit the legacy of the Mechanical Sage, and now he has become the number one person on the mechanical path. He is not far from level seven, and he will definitely go far.

Herman said, "I'm about to advance to the seventh level of the [Machine Soul Great Harmony] realm. I'll temporarily hand over the work of the Mechanical School to Ai Niya and the others. During my seclusion, I won't delay the normal operation of the Sky Dome System and the Demon Piercing Shuttle."

Levi said, "Yes, yes, you can rest assured about your promotion. You don't need to worry about the organization's affairs."

The tower master turned and left.

Levi also composed himself and began a new journey.

The Seventh Layer of Hell.

Dragonfall Valley.

The sound of dripping water echoed rhythmically in the underground cave.

Will-o'-the-wisps, ghosts, twinkling like stars, illuminate the darkness.

Levi descended alone until he came to a cave.

The sound of flowing water filled the air. A stream of yellow water, only a foot wide, flowed down the rock face from a spring, forming a yellow pond below. A thick aura of death accumulated here, and apart from undead creatures, no one would want to be here.

In the pond, a strange fish, resembling both a dragon and a fish, swam in the murky water. Two dragon whiskers fluttered at its mouth, and its wary little eyes peered around. Each scale was a mysterious rune of truth, radiating a precious light.

This is the Truth Wonder that Luo Wei discovered.

Luo Wei's name is unknown, Levi's name is unknown, and coincidentally, even the Strange Object Illustrated Handbook doesn't know it... It must have never been discovered in history.

"However, this pool of water is somewhat like the legendary Yellow Springs of my past life. It is a natural spring formed by extremely dense death energy. For sorcerers of the Death School, this is an absolute treasure. Unfortunately, it is based on the ecosystem of Hell and is difficult to move. Otherwise, wouldn't it be wonderful to move it to my Graveyard of the Dead?"

After confirming that the object was safe, Levi set up the concealment array and left.

He gazed into the depths of Dragonfall Valley, his eyes gleaming.

"Alright, let's not look for that skull-headed woman for now..."

It wasn't that Levi couldn't beat her, or that he was afraid.

He and that woman had no grudges against each other, so there was no need to be overly concerned about it.

There was also a minor reason: his sense of danger told him that there was risk over there.

Demon Fox Tribe.

The Purgatory Demon Sword lay on the bed, looking utterly empty and withered.

The three sisters each went their separate ways to cultivate themselves.

How have you been lately?

A woman dressed in a long black dress, with a high chest, a slender waist, long legs, and her hair piled high, appeared out of nowhere and sat on the edge of the bed, dignified and elegant.

The Purgatory Demon Sword coughed and quickly said, "My lady, I'm fine... cough cough."

The Demon Fox Matriarch said with a smile:

"Really? How are my daughters?"

The Purgatory Demon Sword Path, "Good, excellent."

The Demon Fox Matriarch stretched out her slender, jade-like hand and touched the Adam's apple of the Purgatory Demon Sword.

She was suspicious.

"This Purgatory Demon Sword has withstood the three sisters' draining of its essence for hundreds of years without dying. It must be a divine body born of nature. Could there be something fishy about it?"

The Purgatory Demon Sword lay paralyzed on the bed, letting the mistress take advantage of him.

"Could this old fox have sensed something amiss? That shouldn't be the case. Even an eighth-level expert should have difficulty deciphering my secret technique."

At that very moment.

Suddenly, the Form Realm Witch said, "Mother, something bad has happened! Our scouts have reported that the Ghost Elephant Lord·Eriks has arrived ten thousand miles outside the city. He seems to be heading this way and looks very aggressive."

The Demon Fox Matriarch's expression changed.

"What? The Devil Elephant Master? What's that old geezer doing in our Love Music City?"

Her Demon Fox Tribe and Demon Elephant Tribe have always kept to themselves.

"Come, let's go take a look."

The Demon Fox Matriarch transformed into a wisp of black smoke and flew out of the city.

"You old fox! What have you done to my child?"

Outside the city, a figure thousands of meters tall, broad and stout, resembling a mountain, stood amidst the clouds. Boundless Black Qi swirled around him, radiating the aura of the early stage of the eighth level. His bulging muscles resembled black pythons coiled around his arms, legs, and back.

It was Devil Elephant Master, Eisenke's father.

Its expression was unfriendly, clearly indicating that it had noticed something was wrong with Eisenke.

Over the years, it had been puzzled as to how Eisenke, with his talent, could have made no progress in his cultivation for hundreds of years and remained stuck at the early stage of the seventh level. After some investigation, including consulting the best doctor in the clan, it found nothing.

In the end, it went to one of the Seventy-Two Pillars, the Sky-Supporting Giant Elephant·Finks, to ask a level nine expert for help. After the Sky-Supporting Giant Elephant sniffed around for a while, it did not say why, but only gave the Devil Elephant Master a sentence.

"Eisenke has body odor."

The answer is obvious: it was that damned Demon Fox Tribe who used seduction to bewitch Eisenke, thus using the method of absorbing yang energy to replenish yin energy to promote their own cultivation, exploiting Eisenke and preventing him from making progress.

So over the years, the three sisters have all reached level seven, while Eisenke has remained stagnant. The Devil Elephant Master had long known of the Demon Fox Tribe's indiscretions.

However, the Demon Fox Tribe had always only dared to bully small tribes or outsiders. They never expected that these sly foxes would dare to challenge them and try to take advantage of them!

"You vixens, get out here! I want you to fight three hundred rounds!"

The Devil Elephant Master squinted, his fists clenched.

If we cannot give it a satisfactory explanation this time, then we will definitely have to take action.

When it comes to fighting, the entire Demon Fox Tribe is no match for him in a one-on-one fight.

The Demon Fox Matriarch, accompanied by her three sisters, appeared with an unfriendly expression.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you old geezer?"

The Devil Elephant Master threw Eisenke out from behind him and said:

"Tell me quickly, did these three vixen sisters seduce you?"

Eisenke said, "No... Father, let's go back. It really has nothing to do with them. It's my fault for not practicing hard enough. It's all my fault."

*Slap! Devil Elephant Master slapped Eisenke, sending him flying hundreds of miles away. If he hadn't stopped, Eisenke would have been a pile of minced meat.

"You unfilial son... you unfilial son, you're going to be the death of me! Lust is a dangerous thing, and you're already in this state, yet you still speak up for these vixens!"

The Demon Fox Matriarch revealed a fierce glint.

"Old man, you keep calling me a vixen, you really don't respect me at all! Tell me, what do you want? If you want to fight, I'm ready to fight you to the bitter end!"

"Although the Demon Fox is naturally promiscuous, you can't say that about me, otherwise you're in the wrong!" The Devil Elephant Master pointed at the three sisters and angrily rebuked them, "Ask them what they did to my child? Or did you participate in it too? It's immoral and against public morals!"

The three sisters all said:

"Senior, please don't speak nonsense. We haven't done anything."

"What does your son's stupidity have to do with us?"

"That is."

The Demon Fox Matriarch said:

"Please leave. I will not pursue this matter today. Otherwise, I will have to report you to the Seventy-Two Pillars for false accusation and framing."

Devil Elephant Master stopped arguing.

"Since that's the case, let's see who's the best. Today I'll take you to the Seventy-Two Pillars and let the officials investigate this matter themselves!"

It took a step forward, its massive elephant leg landing. The earth within a radius of a hundred miles began to tremble, and in many places, it collapsed.

The Demon Fox Matriarch's expression changed drastically. Eight black flames formed a fox tail behind her, like eight pillars supporting the sky, resisting this unparalleled and overwhelming force.

Click, click...

The sound of a snapping tail came from the fox. The Demon Fox Matriarch quickly retrieved it. She roared and revealed her true form as a slender demon fox, a thousand meters tall and two thousand meters long. She opened her mouth and breathed out a thick black flame.

The Devil Elephant Master neither dodged nor avoided; instead, black energy burst forth from its body, colliding with the blazing breath, distorting space and shattering the void.

"I'm tickling!"

Its trunk suddenly grew longer, stretching for tens of thousands of meters, transforming into a long whip that swept away everything.

The Demon Fox Matriarch was incredibly agile, dodging the attacks and moving around the Devil Elephant Master.

Its strength and defense were far inferior to the Devil Elephant Master, but its speed and agility were superior, and coupled with its powerful Spell-like Abilities, it was evenly matched for a time.

The mistress angrily said:

"Are you trying to provoke a pillar-level war between the [Sky-Supporting Giant Elephant] and the [Demon Fox Master]?!"

The Devil Elephant Master sneered.

"I just want to give my child an explanation."

Two level-eight powerhouses clashed outside the city. The three sisters and the Purgatory Demon Sword were somewhat at a loss, as they were completely unable to participate in a battle of this level with their strength.

Boom! The thick elephant trunk suddenly wrapped around the slender waist of the eight-tailed demon fox, and no matter how much it struggled, it could not escape.

"Got you!"

As the elephant strained with its trunk, the sound of bones cracking came from the fox's waist. The fox spat out blood and fiercely bit at the trunk of the Devil Elephant Master.

"You dare bite me! You vixen!"

The elephant's trunk, already mangled and bloody, tossed the demon fox around on the ground, smashing it into a giant crater that stretched for hundreds of miles, riddled with ravines and cracks, with a deep pit in the center that was thousands of feet deep, where blood flowed like a river.

The three sisters flew over and unleashed their respective Spell-like Abilities at the Devil Elephant Master.

However, the Devil Elephant Master slapped them away, sending the three sisters flying far away.

"Get out of here! Once we've dealt with the old ones, none of you will escape!"

The Purgatory Demon Sword transmitted its voice to the three sisters. "Don't be reckless. Let's prepare to retreat. Since the Devil Elephant Master dared to make a move, it means he has already made contact with the higher-ups. He might take this opportunity to annex the Demon Fox Tribe... Moreover, it seems that the Mistress has also discovered my problem. In any case, staying here is not a long-term solution."

The Form Realm Witch hesitated, "But what about my mother..."

The Purgatory Demon Sword sighed:

"There's no way around it. In this world, order and laws are just fig leaves for the strong to maintain their status. Only the fist is the truth, and weakness is the original sin."

Although the three sisters were unwilling and reluctant to part with their mother, they dared not disobey their master's orders to obey the Purgatory Demon Sword.

On the other side.

The battle between the Demon Fox Matriarch and the Devil Elephant Master has reached a fever pitch. Both seem to have unleashed their primal ferocity, and the collision between the Demon Elephant's true form and the Demon Fox's true form is stirring up the storm.

Ultimately, the Devil Elephant Master was still superior. After half a day, the Demon Fox Matriarch was panting heavily, her speed had diminished, and she was frequently hit. The Devil Elephant Master had thick skin and a high margin for error; with just one punch, he could inflict excruciating pain on the Demon Fox.

Bang! Another heavy punch landed, and the Demon Fox Matriarch was slammed to the ground, her eyes filled with rage.

The Devil Elephant Master grinned maliciously:

"Die!"

It raised its right foot, and its elephant foot transformed to be ten thousand meters wide, falling from the sky like the Buddha's Five Finger Mountain descending, impossible to resist! The sky shattered like a mirror.

The dark, gloomy clouds of Hell were replaced by nine-colored, scale-like clouds.

This extraordinary phenomenon covered an area of hundreds of miles, with Nine-Colored Divine Light illuminating the earth.

Amidst the light, a three-thousand-meter-tall, Nine-Colored Emperor tore through the sky, barging into this world with an extremely domineering demeanor.

It was covered in nine-colored heavy armor, and a giant sword, like the gates of Hell, dragged on the ground, carving out a ravine a thousand feet deep.

Flames, Thunder, hurricanes, floods, and many other strange phenomena appeared around the sword, which was awe-inspiring.

The Nine-Colored Emperor roared and instantly appeared beneath the ten-thousand-meter-tall elephant's feet.

It was like a god descending from heaven, activating the Red Emperor Domain, the Undying Divine Domain, and many other domains around it.

He rose up, sword in hand, and slashed upwards! A sword aura, stretching for hundreds of miles and thousands of feet thick, surged upwards, vast and mighty! The void shattered, and heaven and earth darkened! (Long chapter, please vote, subscribe, and Recommendation Ticket!)
