Not long after Levi left, a gaunt, level seven Horned Devil looked at the empty stall with a pained expression, then at the pig demon who had just bought the Soul Stone.

"How come this pig demon is so rich?"

He was a seventh-ring wizard of the Death School named Xiao Te, who had also come to Hell to participate in the Nether Market.

"Damn pig demon."

There were rules governing the Nether Market on the ship, so he dared not disobey.

Levi frowned, sensing a faint hostility.

He glanced at it and saw that it was a Horned Devil.

"You must be a wizard in disguise. I beat you to it, so I understand why you're resentful. I'm in a good mood today, so I won't hold it against you."

He ignored it and continued to snap up good stuff.

"Resentment Stone, an eighth-level material, can be used to reinforce my Black Soul Magic Tower. I'll buy it."

"Human Soul Paper, a level eight material, used to reforge the Book of the Dead, buy it!"

After a frenzied shopping spree, Levi unknowingly found himself left with only 1 billion Nether Coin.

He takes anything that's useful to him without even looking at the price.

Wizard Xiao Te was dumbfounded.

"He must have spent at least a billion in such a short time. I, a dignified seventh-ring wizard, have been operating in Hell for so many years, even risking being wanted by the authorities to rob the rich and help the poor, and I have only managed to save 700 million Nether Coin... Could this person also be a wizarding bigwig of the Death School?"

Thinking of this, he felt a surge of fear.

He had originally planned to kill the pig demon after leaving this place.

Looking back now, if I had actually done that, I would most likely have lost my life on the Eighth Layer.

Indeed, one shouldn't be too aggressive.

Not only the wizard, but the burly man with the tiger-headed head also changed his expression.

"Just how many Archdemon has this guy robbed...?"

Even an eighth-level devil couldn't produce that much cash.

After all, the daily expenses in Hell all require Nether Coin.

Levi arrived at a stall and stood there, not moving.

Inside a transparent jar was a handful of black soil.

Around the black soil, countless resentful spirits and negative energy swirled, Levi seemed to see countless dead souls and vengeful spirits dancing in the air, as if this was not a handful of soil, but a miniature Hell.

[500 grams of Soil of the Deceased, Level 9, Price: 1.2 billion Nether Coin.]

This item was displayed here, and many demon lords coveted it, but ultimately could only shake their heads in frustration and leave. Because it was too expensive.

The seventh-ring wizard also saw the soil.

"My God?! Soil of the Deceased, a legendary material for building Undead Graveyard!"

The so-called Undead Graveyard is a special place built by some sorcerers of the Death School to breed and give birth to the dead.

The Cemetery of the Dead can automatically convert elemental power into a rich source of negative death energy, allowing undead creatures to grow.

Some sorcerers of the Death School build their Undead Graveyard within their Wizard Tower or secret realms.

In short, possessing one's own Undead Graveyard means an endless army of undead calamities. With continuous evolution, this Undead Graveyard could even become a miniature artificial Hell! As far as he knew, the Legendary Wizard of the Death School, the Hand of the Netherworld, had done just that; his demiplane and Wizard Tower had been transformed into a massive Undead Graveyard, and even Legendary Realm professions were related to Undead Graveyard.

Legendary Realm Class: Time Tomb Keeper.

This is the Legendary Realm class of the Hand of the Netherworld.

His Legendary Realm demiplane is called [Homeland of Heroes].

Legend has it that the Hand of the Netherworld, relying on the abilities of the [Homeland of Heroes] and the [Time Tomb Keeper], can protect the souls of some beings from entering the Underworld.

This is equivalent to possessing a portion of the authority of the Underworld, with unparalleled and unfathomable power.

These souls, carrying their memories and even their abilities from their previous lives, will be reborn in the Homeland of Heroes, transforming into beings known as "Heroic Spirits."

In the Homeland of Heroes, the Underworld established the "Hall of Heroes," which commands many powerful heroes. They may be of other races or wizards.

Their existence depends on the Hand of the Netherworld, and they also fight for the Hand of the Netherworld.

If the Hand of the Netherworld dies, they will also vanish into thin air.

Relying on the abilities of the Gravekeeper, the Hand of the Netherworld is a relatively powerful existence among Legendary Wizard. There are even rumors that there are level 10 heroes guarding the Hall of Heroes.

If the rumors are true, then the Hand of the Netherworld will be even more terrifying.

In short, if you want to build Undead Graveyard, the "Soil of the Deceased" is indispensable; its full name is "Homeland of the Deceased's Rest."

Only by relying on this sacred soil can the deceased find peace outside the Underworld, and even be reborn as spirits.

This divine land, across multiple dimensions, can only be found in the Underworld.

This seventh-ring wizard had participated in many Nether Market, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a rare item. However, upon seeing that it only weighed one pound, he sighed inwardly, "What a pity, only one pound, not enough."

"Even if it's just one kilogram, it's worth as much as 1.2 billion, which I can't afford."

He looked at the arrogant pig demon.

Currently, among the demons on site, only it has the money to buy one.

Levi was also stunned.

"How come this Eighth Layer is full of good stuff?"

He strolled along, buying only his necessities.

They had originally planned to go all in on the remaining 1 billion yuan for memory blind boxes.

Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred, and such an exquisite item appeared.

Seeing the desire in Levi's eyes, the burly man with the shrewd head asked, "Will you buy it?"

Levi said, "I don't have enough money, could I get a partial refund..."

The burly man with the tiger-like head pointed to the sign over there.

No returns or exchanges once sold.

Levi thought to himself that it would be too late to rob outside now, and it wouldn't be a good idea either, since the messenger from the Underworld was watching over them.

He asked, "Can I sell something in there?"

The burly man with the tiger-like head said, "As long as you're not reselling the items from this stall, it's up to you."

Levi was overjoyed. He immediately took out a seventh-ringed sorcerer's artifact, the secret sword he had obtained some time ago, [Sorrow of Bones].

Although this secret sword is a top-quality seventh-ring sword, Levi has a better Purple Light Sword, and the Holy Infant and Victor have no use for it. He originally planned to auction it in the Wizard World.

Levi asked:

"This is a seventh-ringed wizard artifact I found, crafted by a wizard. It's called ' Sorrow of Bones.' Although it's not new, it's absolutely intact and of excellent quality. Anyone want to buy it for their collection? Selling it cheaply for 600 million Nether Coin. No deception."

This magical artifact, though made of ordinary materials, not very functional, and with an average appearance... is a high-quality seventh-ring artifact, and in the Wizard World, it's worth at least 1 billion Great Stone.

Levi does have some Devil Tool that demons need, but they are all from illegitimate sources. This is the Eighth Layer, and he is new here, so he doesn't dare to use them.

The demons were drawn in, and some of them were quite interested.

Unfortunately, they couldn't afford the 500 million Nether Coin.

After all, he had already spent a lot of money at the stall, where would he have any more? The seventh-ring wizard disguised as Horned Devil showed an interested expression.

"It's actually a secret sword from the Death Faction, and a top-quality seventh-ring one at that..."

He had recently witnessed Victor and others wreaking havoc using the Secret Sword Style technique, and although he was a wizard of the Death School, he wanted to try it out and enrich his own methods.

But he only had 700 million Nether Coin to begin with, and he just spent another 400 million at the stall, leaving him with only 300 million Nether Coin, which he still can't afford.

He turned his attention to the pig demon and said telepathically, "Sir, I am interested in buying your witchcraft artifacts. Could we go outside to make the transaction?"

Levi looked at the Horned Devil, the guy who had just harbored resentment towards him.

He suspected that the other party was also a wizard in disguise, and that his strength was probably inferior to his own.

"OK."

Levi and the Horned Devil left the mast sailboat without making a sound.

The burly man with the tiger-like head closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, ignoring them.

As long as they don't violate the rules of the Nether Market, they can kill all they want outside, and it won't care.

On the wilderness.

The Horned Devil said:

"Sir, I have 300 million Nether Coin left. Can you use something else to offset the remaining 300 million Nether Coin?"

Levi said:

"Can."

He was only short 200 million yuan in Nether Coin money, so selling it for 600 million yuan was actually to avoid losing too much money himself.

The Horned Devil said:

"I am in a sincere transaction and hope to conclude a contract."

Levi said, "No problem."

He had no qualms about killing the other party if they dared to go back on their word.

The other party has most likely realized that I am very strong and is afraid that I will kill them and steal their treasure.

Therefore, signing a contract is quite normal and reasonable.

After the contract was concluded, the Horned Devil's expression changed.

"Are you Levi, the Twilight Hall Master?"

Levi said, "Yes, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

The Horned Devil quickly shook his head.

"No problem, I just didn't expect to meet you in Hell."

He felt a little apprehensive. He was just an ordinary seventh-ring wizard, and he was really insignificant in front of the Twilight Hall Master... This was a ruthless person who could kill Eighth Level Demon, and more than once. This meant that he was not relying on trump cards or luck, but pure strength.

Levi said, "Wizard Xiao Te, let's keep today's events a secret from each other. It's been a pleasant cooperation."

He patted the other man on the shoulder, and the Horned Devil nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Only after Levi had gone far away did he breathe a sigh of relief, and he said to himself with a self-deprecating smile, "I am clearly a seventh-ring wizard, so why do I have the feeling of seeing Primal Soul Wizard in the Fifth Ring realm... Oh well, although I did not get the Soul Stone and the Soil of the Deceased this trip, I did get a high-quality seventh-ring wizard artifact, which is also a good thing."

He had already spent all his Nether Coin and even lost 300 million Great Stone, so he hurriedly left Hell.

The Twilight Hall Master Temple is always elusive, spending his days either fighting on the battlefield or in seclusion, rarely participating in social activities in the Wizard World.

Therefore, for many people, there is a veil of mystery surrounding him, making them hesitant to approach. Today, he has shaken hands with the Twilight Hall Master, and he feels a little proud.

At the stall.

Levi collected the Soil of the Deceased.

With 100 million Nether Coin left, they went all in on memory blind boxes, buying 100,000 of them.

He glanced at the burly man snoring away, then left satisfied.

Ancient Dragon Continent.

The journey to Hell has come to a successful conclusion.

Levi reflected on this trip, concluding that it was the most fruitful one he had ever experienced.

Scarlet Enslavement two level-eight demons, incorporated the Demon Elephant Tribe, obtained a massive amount of resources, and even acquired the legendary material Breathing Soil.

According to the information he obtained from the Demon Fox Tribe, they had participated in dozens of Nether Market but had never seen a legendary item. Levi could be said to have hit the jackpot.

If it were those three guys from before, Levi might have thought they were deliberately trying to curry favor with him. But this burly man with the sturdy head didn't seem interested in him, so he probably wouldn't be actively trying to please him.

Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.

In the center of the Graveyard of the Dead, a faint, shadowy tombstone stands.

This is something Levi obtained after refining the Tombstone Oddity. It is not a companion spirit, but rather a kind of special ability.

The function of a tombstone is similar to that of the Soil of the Deceased: it can transform elemental power into negative energy, death energy.

However, compared to the Soil of the Deceased, the tombstone lacks a crucial function: to allow the soul of the deceased to rest in peace, thus enabling the self-circulation of the birth of new spirits.

In the beginning, the Graveyard of the Dead was only about one kilometer in diameter.

As time passed and Levi advanced to the seventh ring, its area continued to expand, now reaching a diameter of over one hundred kilometers. It wasn't large, but it was enough for the undead to survive.

After all, besides the Graveyard of the Dead, Levi also has the Black Soul Magic Tower, which is a self-contained space that can absorb the death energy and negative energy that wanders between heaven and earth.

Levi estimates that once he reaches the eighth ring road, the Graveyard of the Dead should be over a thousand kilometers in diameter, at which point it will be roughly complete.

The method of using the Soil of the Deceased" is very simple: bury it in the ground, and it will automatically transform the surrounding soil and slowly grow.

The speed of transformation depends on the amount of the Soil of the Deceased. With Levi's quantity of one pound, it would take forever to completely transform the Graveyard of the Dead.

Fortunately, Levi has no shortage of patience.

We can add more when we have more Breathing Soil.

Moreover, he couldn't allow the Graveyard of the Dead to grow too quickly; it had to be slower than the expansion of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm. He didn't want to convert the entire Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm into a graveyard.

As the Breathing Soil settled beneath the tombstone, something unexpected happened to Levi.

But then the Breathing Soil transformed into a black earthworm, burrowed into the tombstone, and then dispersed, making the tombstone's illusory image even more solid.

Levi had a feeling that the tombstone was more complete after being integrated with the Breathing Soil.

But then, mysterious runes of truth began to appear on the tombstone.

Levi deciphered it using his wizarding knowledge.

May the departed rest in peace, and may death live on forever.

The next moment, Levi seemed to be standing in a strange place.

I don't know where this place is, or when it happened.

There seems to be no concept of space or time.

Only the ceaseless roar of the river struck Levi's heart.

He opened his eyes and saw a great river.

It was turbid, yellowish, and seemingly tinged with blood; boundless and vast, it came from nothingness and returned to nothingness. Countless tributaries branched off from the great river, flowing out and traversing endless time and space, heading towards unknown lands.

Levi was all too familiar with this great river.

"The Nether Mother River".

"Legend has it that the Soil of the Deceased is sand and soil produced at the bottom of the Nether Mother River, and now it seems that this is indeed the case."

This river is so vast, so magnificent, so supreme.

"The Mother River of the Underworld, the Mother of the Nether Emperor, the controller of the will of life and death and reincarnation... Only the concept of the non-existent River of Time can be more powerful than it."

Standing before the Mother River, Levi deeply felt his own insignificance.

"Splash!"

The sound of a babbling mountain spring woke Levi.

In a daze, he seemed to see a tiny tributary of the Mother River connecting to the phantom of the tombstone in front of him.

He felt that his will was omnipresent in this hundred-kilometer-diameter Land of the Dead; at this moment, he was the god of this land...

After accidentally absorbing the Breathing Soil, the Tombstone of the Dead underwent some mutation, Levi gained some unexpected privileges.

He has absolute control over this Graveyard of the Dead.

He can command all the undead born from the Graveyard of the Dead without any contract. As long as the undead originated from him, the artifacts and the like are his property, just like the Nightmare Territory.

He can even actively select some powerful souls, allowing them to be reborn in the Graveyard of the Dead with their past life memories, becoming the lowest level ghosts and skeletons.

These ghosts and skeletons are not simple; they possess some skills from their past lives, but because of their undead bodies, they may not be able to fully utilize them.

Of course, not all souls can be reincarnated as dead beings with their memories intact.

Those who are utterly wicked according to the ethics, morality, order, and laws of their respective civilizations are not allowed to enter; only those who have prestige and merit within their respective civilizations may be reincarnated.

As for the criteria for judgment, they were not determined by Levi, but by the Nether Mother River.

His authority comes from the supreme, impartial, and merciless Mother River.

Moreover, with his current authority, he can only protect a maximum of 10 souls reincarnated with their memories. If he wants more, he seems to need to improve his strength, upgrade the tombstone level, or obtain more Soil of the Deceased.

"I understand now. After the combination of the Breathing Soil and the tombstone, I unexpectedly became the City God of the Wizard World! These souls whose memories I protected and who were reincarnated, after becoming undead, became judges under the City God, the like in the underworld, or rather, heroic spirits. No wonder the demiplane of the Hand of the Netherworld is called the ' Homeland of Heroes,' I see!"

Generally speaking, to become a heroic spirit, one must be a "hero" or "epic figure" in the conventional sense of that civilization.

By the standards of the Levi people or wizards, one should either die for one's country or be a chivalrous hero; in short, one cannot be too unknown.

Therefore, if the Lionheart Knight and the Golden Knight from the Shining Seven Legends were alive, they would certainly be able to become "Heroic Spirits".

Even if the other person is a wizard, if he remains unknown in the Wizard World and makes no achievements or contributions, it will be difficult for him to become a heroic spirit.

Strength is not the only criterion for judgment.

However, if one is Primal Soul Wizard, as long as they are not a truly evil person, given the extent to which Origin Soul "famous throughout the world," they could probably become a Heroic Spirit.

"It's a pity. If only Teacher Mai Lin had lived a little longer, she would have had countless students and never done anything evil. She could have become a ghost and lived another life. But it's a personal choice. If you don't want to become a ghost, there's no need to force it."

On the ground, the Breathing Soil began to slowly multiply, faster than Levi had anticipated, possibly due to the Tombstone of the Dead.

"From now on, let's call this place ' Ancient Banyan Netherworld Mansion Secluded Mansion'."

Levi renamed the Graveyard of the Dead.

This will be my Undead Graveyard from now on.

It will automatically guide souls from multiple dimensions to be reincarnated here as new undead, and provide a more habitable home for existing undead.

As for the Heroic Spirits, Levi currently has no suitable candidates; the number of slots is limited, and they must be important individuals. The establishment of the Ancient Banyan Netherworld Mansion brings us one step closer to our goal of transforming the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm into a perfect world.

Mana appeared and said:

"I can feel that new life is being conceived down below."

Levi's consciousness entered the small patch of the newly transformed land of Breathing Soil.

A tiny, rice-grain-sized green light flickered, like a firefly.

"This is the budding of a new Soul Fire, which will one day become a ghost, a skeleton, or even a powerful undead bone dragon."

Of course, to become an undead bone dragon, you also need Dragonkind remains.

Levi was just using a metaphor; he didn't mean to waste resources just to create a bone dragon.

After that, Levi instructed the magic array wizards of the Dawn Tower to mass-produce large-scale energy gathering arrays to lock the death energy of the Ancient Banyan Netherworld Mansion there, so as to prevent it from affecting other places.

One month later.

Emperor Palace.

Before Levi could head to the Dark Ancient Tower, the Blood Knight arrived.

He said, "Captain, I've already reached the sixth level limit. The next step is to face the dilemma of evolution and advancement, so I'd like to ask for your advice on advancing to a mythical bloodline."

Levi said, "From my experience, you need to prepare at least three legendary endurance-type Bloodline Crystal that are different from Miya's in order to advance to mythology. Of course, you can also prepare one mythology-level endurance-type Bloodline Crystal directly and get there in one step."

He was promoted to [Heavenly King Dragon] by combining the four elements of Miya, Silver Mountain Dragon, Wind Illusion Dragon, and Black Annihilation Dragon, so he has more authority to speak on this matter.

Of course, it's possible to advance to Mythic status by combining three bloodlines, provided that one of the legendary bloodlines is exceptionally strong, the strongest of the legendary types. To be on the safe side, he still recommends that the Blood Knight.

The Blood Knight said:

"Thank you for your guidance, Commander. I understand now."

Levi asked:

"How much have you prepared? You can tell me if you have any difficulties."

The Blood Knight said:

"Commander, I'm all set. I recently obtained a level 7 [Unicorn Jade Beast Crystal] through an auction and also exchanged for a level 7 [Jade Swallow Crystal] in the battle merit shop. I'm just missing one more."

Levi nodded.

"Hmm, the Jade Unicorn has the legendary Pegasus bloodline, and the Jade Swallow has the Skyfaith Goose bloodline, which are quite compatible with your Miya bloodline."

Pegasus and Skyfaith Goose are both legendary creatures with great endurance.

He then explained some important points to the Blood Knight regarding advancing to level seven, and then said seriously:

"Blood Knight, are you mentally prepared for evolution? Once you embark on this path, the difficulty of your advancement will far exceed what you are facing now. You will need to deal with more Lord of Blood Tribulation and also contend with the ever-changing Darkness Tribulation."

The Blood Knight said, "I've thought it through, Master, and I'm prepared to fail. I'm an old-fashioned relic from the old era, much older than all of you. I want to give it my all one last time, whether I succeed or die trying, so that I can also provide some experience for the other Knight."

Levi said, "Alright, before you advance, remember to bring a life-saving treasure. No matter what, preserving your life is the most important thing. Also, do not advance while I am away. As long as I am by your side, even if you fail to advance and die, I have ways to let you live again in another form."

The Blood Knight looked shocked.

"A second chance at life?"

Levi said, "Yes, but I believe you can succeed."

Given the Blood Knight's reputation and achievements in the Age of Declining Magic, he could certainly become a Heroic Spirit, but this is similar to the Ghost Cultivation of the previous life, a low-level path with no other choice.

What can compare to Knight with flesh and blood? The Blood Knight said gratefully, "Thank you, Commander, I'm off!"

Blood Knight are formidable individuals who, with a truly mortal body and without any special abilities, can suppress the inherent nature of the Secondary Blood Clan.

His willpower, character, and talent are absolutely top-notch.

Unfortunately, he was born in the wrong era, being hundreds of years older than the other Knight.

Besides the Blood Knight, other level 6 peak and late-stage Knight such as the Ash Knight, Divine Light Knight, Black Knight, and Fire Dragon Knight also need to face the choice of evolving or advancing.

Levi fully respects their choices and will not impose his own will on them.

As long as the Twilight Temple continues to develop healthily, and as long as I live long enough, I will eventually see the day when a second Mythical Knight appears besides myself.

The Twilight Temple has caught a lucky break, with its overpowered leader and an unprecedented Plane Convergence —the perfect storm of opportunity. If ten thousand years isn't enough, then a hundred thousand years will do. Creating a fully-fledged, mythical version of the Eighteen Riders isn't out of the question.

A group of Knight with resolute faces, wearing armor stained with divine blood.

Every move can determine the trend of the times in multiple dimensions; just thinking about it is exciting.

Thinking of the difficulties the Knight would face in their evolution, Levi thought to himself:

"Relatively speaking, for dual cultivators like the Steel Dragon Knight, the path of transformation is the safest, at least it will be easier to overcome the Darkness Tribulation. Although the Steel Dragon Knight has evolved once, he is only a legendary bloodline now. The path to mythology is long and arduous."

Dawn Tower.

Before they knew it, it was already Mu Di 'Eddie sixtieth birthday.

Levi also joined in the fun, and it felt like only a blink of an eye. The little kid from back then is now an old man.

Eddie did not disappoint Mu Di and Elsa. He trained very hard and made full use of his talent Child of Element. He is now Third Ring- circle wizard.

Furthermore, he also adhered to the code of Knight, thus earning the title of a second-level Knight.

Whenever Elsa talks about him, her face is always beaming with a smile, saying that Eddie's Knight talent is even better than hers.

In Mu Di's words, Eddie was in no way inferior to the "top geniuses" of those wizarding organizations; the only shortcoming was that he did not inherit his Holy Ape Bloodline.

However, Elsa also agreed to have a second or even a third child in the future.

We can't let Mu Di's Holy Ape Bloodline be cut off, after all, his family in the mortal world has long since turned to dust in the torrent of time.

The Golden Lion Knight Dinos shared the same troubles as Mu Di.

Although he had three children, unfortunately, none of them were boys who inherited the Golden Lion Bloodline.

However, all three of them are doing quite well now.

The eldest, Lai Na, recently celebrated her 100th birthday and is now a Level 3 Knight with the title "Jade Lion Knight." She has a rather carefree personality, much like a lioness.

The second sister, Lai Ya, is about the same age and is also a third-level Knight with the title "Peacock Knight." She has a much more introverted and quiet personality, completely different from the eldest sister.

The eldest and second eldest sisters are both geniuses in the Twilight Temple, and with their beauty, they have many suitors. The third brother, Lai De, is no less impressive.

Although he did not have Knight blood, he had excellent wizarding talent. Like Mu Di's child Eddie, he was a member of the Frost School and Third-Ring Wizard, and was a prominent figure at school.

Looking at these energetic young people, Levi was in a great mood.

These fresh faces are the hope for the future of the Ancient Dragon Continent.

Perhaps, in the distant future, they will surpass their fathers and go even further on the path of Knight and Wizard's Path. Generation after generation, the torch is passed down!

The Dark Ancient Tower.

The Fifth Layer.

In the Wind Spirit Tower, Kidman has already advanced to the late stage of level six.

This speed is average; it's within the realm of possibility for a level 7 finish, but it's unlikely to achieve much greater success.

However, he himself was very happy.

If it weren't for the Law Transmission Celestial Venerable, he would never have had the possibility of reaching the seventh level.

Kidman's face lit up with joy when she saw the figure from her dream.

"Celestial Venerable!"

Levi said, "That's right. I'll take you away in the next hundred years."

Kidman was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Celestial Venerable!"

He finally had the opportunity to venture out into the world.

This excitement is no less than when a cultivator is suddenly told by a celestial being that he no longer needs to cultivate and can ascend to heaven with him.

Both Bo Locke and Ge Sais, the two newly appointed Dharma Kings, have shown slight improvement in their strength.

They couldn't help but feel envious when they heard that Kidman actually had a chance to leave this cage.

Levi said, "If you two cultivate diligently and do a good job of spreading the Dharma, and you are able to advance to the late stage of the sixth level, I will take you away with me."

In any case, we only need to ensure that there are a few Dharma Kings on the Fifth Layer to maintain basic order; we don't need too many people to stay here.

Moreover, most Dharma Kings don't actually reach the late stage of the sixth level during their lifetime, so Levi's situation is almost like an empty promise.

The two Dharma Kings quickly expressed their gratitude and then began to report on the work done over the past century.

In the end, Levi gained two more Child of Element and seven special talents. The two Child of Element were already at the Third Ring level, and the others included Formal Wizard and Wizard Apprentice.

Before leaving, he left four Sixth Ring Alchemy creatures here and rewarded these Dharma Kings with some high-quality Sixth Ring magical artifacts.

"Don't use this Alchemy creature normally. Only use it if those alien races or powerful black beasts invade the human race."

Kidman said:

"We understand! We will certainly protect the people of the Kane Empire."

Next, Levi quickly arrived at the Million Great Mountains. After picking mushrooms, he went to check the places he had marked as potentially harboring Truth Wonder and harvested several Earth and Sky-level Treasures. He was collecting these low-level Treasures to reward some talented juniors within the organization as a policy incentive to promote childbirth.

In fact, the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm has produced a considerable number of Earth-level wonders over the years. Some of these wonders have the potential to continue to develop into Sky-Grade Oddity, so Levi keeps them. The rest he simply takes and puts into the treasure vault as the foundation of the organization.

According to his calculations over the years, earth-level wonders can generally be conceived in a few hundred years, but sky-level wonders take an average of about a thousand years, and even the shortest ones take seven or eight hundred years. In any case, there are only a handful of Sky-Grade Oddity that have been born independently in the fairyland so far.

As for the Morning Star wonders, who knows when they'll be found?

Even the [King's Sword] within the Sword of Victory has not yet been conceived.

In general, strange objects, like Iron Tree, are things that one generation plants for another to enjoy the shade of.

The Sixth Layer of the Ancient Tower.

Levi didn't linger; he simply searched around the locations he had marked earlier.

At his current level, the resources at the fifth and sixth levels are of little use.

He wasn't the kind of person to take advantage of others, so he left it to the lucky ones 9300 years later.

The Seventh Layer.

Saint Roland Continent.

Land of Runes.

West Forest City.

"Run! The Black Beast Tide is coming!"

"It's over, I saw the Earth Armor Saint get slapped to death by the Black Beast King..."

"Everyone, hold the city and open the barrier!"

"Don't panic, the saints of Water Dragon City are on their way to our aid!"

Levi was hidden in the crowd, his brows furrowed.

"Is the Giant Beast Forbidden Zone up to something again? Another saint has fallen."

On the distant horizon, the void cracked open, revealing a colossal beast that resembled a giant ground sloth and stood a thousand meters tall.

It stood upright, possessing extremely exaggerated arms. It was with a single palm strike that the Earth Armor Saint was killed. Behind it, tens of thousands of black beasts surged forth, a dark, overwhelming force. Among them were many level six Dark Beast Lord.

In terms of overall strength, the Giant Beast Forbidden Zone is far superior to Land of Runes.

If it weren't for the checks and balances Three Realms and Four Lands, the human race would have had no chance to take advantage of the situation.

However, Levi was somewhat puzzled. Why were the other alien giants ignoring it this time? The giant beast roared in and slammed its paw onto the city's magic array.

The magic array, powerful enough to withstand the combined attack of several saints, was shattered.

"How dare you!"

Then a Rune Master dressed in blue robes, surrounded by flowing water, descended. It was the Water Dragon Saint. He conjured a water curtain, which barely blocked the giant beast's attack.

After a century, the Water Dragon Saint has advanced to the mid-stage of the seventh level, but he is still somewhat inferior to the giant beast. Among the human race, only the Flame Wolf Saint can put up a fight.

The Water Dragon Saint restrained the giant beast, his heart filled with anxiety.

Decades ago, Sacred Mountain descended from the heavens on the Saint Roland Continent.

Sacred Mountain should be a brand new, large-scale Confluence Land, rich in resources.

In the struggle for ownership of the Sacred Mountain, the Three Realms and Four Lands broke the previous peace agreement and began a new round of large-scale chaotic warfare.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Giant Beast Forbidden Zone once again invaded Land of Runes, with wave after wave of Black Beast Tide surging in, causing immense suffering to the human race and resulting in the deaths of many Rune Master.

Even among the saints, several died, including one at level seven.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and humanity was plunged into suffering once again.

The Water Dragon Saint couldn't help but feel despair.

With the help of the Celestial Venerable, they finally saw an opportunity for the revival of the human race.

But fate is cruel; it was about to end before it even began.

Fortunately, the hundred-year period has now arrived, and the day of the Celestial Venerable's descent has come.

They fought hard and finally made it to this day.

They eagerly awaited the arrival of the Celestial Venerable, who would lead them to subdue the demons and monsters, restore peace to the human race, and give them a chance to catch their breath.

The Water Dragon Saint struggled more and more after a short time.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, from among the black beasts, another giant beast, resembling a crocodile, flew out.

Its body is covered in scales, exuding a steely texture. When it moves, it is accompanied by the sound of metal clashing and sparks flying. A violent surge of metallic elemental power comes from it, and it spews out thousands of blades and iron swords from its mouth, making it unstoppable.

"There's another mid-stage level seven?"

The Water Dragon Saint's heart plummeted to the bottom.

Inside and outside the city, countless Rune Master resisted also wore expressions of despair, fear, and trembling. They were too weak in the face of such a natural disaster.

Ordinary people hid inside their houses, afraid to look out, waiting for death to come. Human life was as worthless as grass.

They've gotten used to it, and they've become numb to it.

A storm of swords and spears swept in, engulfing the entire city.

Just then, a Black Armor Swordsman leaped out.

He stretched out his hand, and a rich golden light emanated from it.

"Magneto Domain! Inverted!"

But all the blades and iron swords that shot into the sky above the city, after drawing a graceful arc, soared straight into the clouds and disappeared, as if making a sharp turn and drifting!

"What's going on?"

Why are we still alive?

Who is that?

"Never seen him before, is he some kind of Rune Saint?"

"I don't think so, it doesn't seem likely."

Those who had escaped death gazed at the Black Armor Swordsman in the sky.

He was Halo, raised his finger to the sky, and then pointed to the plains in front of him.

The clouds turned into a sieve in an instant.

Countless iron swords, their blades raining down, pierced the black beast horde.

In the blink of an eye, large numbers of black beasts fell down.

Upon seeing this scene and the imposing figure of the Black Armor Swordsman, the Water Dragon Saint was overjoyed.

"Water Dragon, welcome the Celestial Venerable's arrival!"

When the Celestial Venerable arrives, they will be saved.

With the Celestial Venerable's strength, even if he can't defeat an eighth-level being, dealing with these seventh-level beings is more than enough. Next, everyone can unite and slowly fight against the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

Levi said:

"Water Dragon, step back."

The Water Dragon Saint quickly dodged and left.

The giant beast's claws refused to give up, piercing through the void as it continued to claw, only to collide head-on with the golden light surrounding Levi, causing it to sink into a quagmire and become unable to move.

He didn't even draw his sword; he just clashed with his fists and claws.

A crisp cracking sound rang out as the giant beast's claws exploded, scattering into a mist of blood. The beast was clearly in pain, never expecting that such a tiny human could possess such a powerful physique.

It refused to believe it and slammed down with its other giant claw.

Bang! Another cloud of blood mist billowed out.

The giant beast lost both arms in the blink of an eye, leaving it dumbfounded.

There's no way for it to fight! Its claws can shatter mountains and break the force field of a seventh-level saint, but it can't even exchange a single punch with that man...

Knowing it was no match for the enemy, it tried to escape.

Levi pointed a finger as he softly sang.

Absolute Zero!

The giant beast was frozen in ice and unable to move.

It was as if even the surrounding space and time had paused for a moment.

Levi landed heavily on the giant beast's head, and with a slight twist, the hill-sized head fell off with a thud.

A column of blood shot straight into the sky, scattering blood rain.

Boom! The thousand-meter-tall body collapsed to the ground.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

The Rune Master and mortals within the city were speechless with shock, and gasps of astonishment filled the air.

Is this God?

"Or is this a royal Rune Master?"

"That's too strong. A level 7 late-stage black beast was gone in an instant."

"Terrifying indeed."

Even the Water Dragon Saint was stunned.

He had witnessed the Celestial Venerable Venerable's attack two hundred years ago. At that time, although the Celestial Venerable had also easily defeated him, he was definitely not strong enough to kill a late-stage level seven cultivator with a single blow.

It's only been two hundred years, but he can no longer fathom the Celestial Venerable's strength... Perhaps, even an eighth-level being wouldn't be a match for the Celestial Venerable.
