Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 238 Unparalleled in the World! (Second Update! Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The battle with the Azure-Armored Ancient Saint was easier than Li Wei had imagined. He had thought that beings like the Azure-Armored Ancient Saint were comparable in strength to fourth-circle wizards.

It now seems he overestimated these ancient saints, compared to the fourth-circle wizards, or the fourth-level demon avatar he had once defeated.

These ancient sages were still inferior in some ways.

Firstly, this ancient saint cannot fly, and Li Wei, being high above, easily neutralized the opponent's close-range attacks.

Secondly, apart from its extremely strong defense, this Azure Armored Ancient Saint's other qualities are roughly equivalent to a third-ring extraordinary creature, not reaching the true fourth-ring level. Its attack methods are also too simplistic compared to a wizard's spells.

Li Wei took out the contract stone tablet and said, "Don't have any thoughts of resistance. As long as you leave your soul imprint on this stone tablet, you can live. I have no interest in killing you."

The ancient saint in blue armor hesitated, for as an ancient saint, when had he ever been subjected to such coercion?

However, circumstances are beyond one's control. The fact that he, the Ancient Saint of Azure Armor, has come this far shows that he understands the art of compromise and yielding.

"I did as instructed."

After signing the contract, as the contract information flooded into his mind, the Azure-Armored Ancient Saint turned pale.

"Who exactly are you?" the Azure-Armored Ancient Saint asked. This kind of soul contract was definitely not a strange technique that a crawler could master.

"You who have come to save you from this calamity... Take your people, leave this place, and return to your city-state to continue being your ancient saints, awaiting my command at any time."

"good……"

The Azure-Armored Ancient Saint looked back at his army, feeling bitter. He had failed to achieve his goal and almost lost his life. Although he had survived, he was no longer in control of his own destiny.

This nameless ancient saint of the fire lizard clan is too powerful.

Judging from his current performance, even the Ancient Saint of Burning Heaven is no match for him.

"Let's go back to the city and tell the other two tribes to withdraw their troops."

"The Ancient Sage in Azure Armor gave the order."

However, he discovered that most of the generals around him had already been killed or wounded in the battle just now, and the rest were stunned and had not yet recovered from the terrifying majesty of the ancient saint.

This suppression at the bloodline level awakens the body's instinctive fear.

"Sigh... The Ancient Saint Empire is about to change. I wonder which Ancient Saint will be the next to suffer."

……

Inside Black-Patterned City.

Monka's face turned pale.

As the ancient sage said, a large army is preparing to attack Black Pattern City from both sides.

"My lord, all the fortifications are ready and in place."

"My lord, all the ancient serpent-level experts have arrived."

Accompanied by a flurry of orders.

Black Striped City presents a scene reminiscent of the impending apocalypse.

Not long after, a crimson figure suddenly appeared beside Monka.

Monka's heart skipped a beat, but he breathed a sigh of relief after realizing it was Li Wei.

"My lord, just as you predicted, what should I do now?" Monca asked, as if he had grasped at a last straw.

"Wait, it won't be long before an envoy from the Azure Armor Ancient Saint arrives to forge an alliance with us. Don't make this public. In short, the crisis in Black Pattern City is over." Li Wei's voice entered Monka's mind.

Monka's expression shifted from initial confusion to disbelief.

Has the Azure-Armored Ancient Saint withdrawn his troops?

An ancient sage was forced to retreat by the great man before his army even reached the city gates.

In the past, Monka would have thought this was absolutely a fantasy.

But after witnessing Li Wei's various methods, he knew that all of this was possible.

"By the way, have you found the whereabouts of those ferocious beasts I asked you to find?"

Li Wei asked.

"My lord, I have already sent some experienced beast hunters from the tribe to search for traces of the beasts, but the Nightmare Lizard is a creature that none of the elders in our tribe, including myself, have ever heard of since childhood..." Monka said.

"Never mind then. If you sense any other ferocious beasts or ancient beasts, notify me immediately," Li Wei said calmly.

With these lizardmen under his command, Levi could solve problems that they couldn't solve themselves.

He had the lizardmen do everything else.

He returned to his residence.

"After I take over this Ancient Holy Empire, I'll have to leave. I've been here for quite a while now, and I wonder how things are in the mortal realm. Also, my innate magic needs to be put into practice, so I'll have to go back to the Endless Sea," Li Wei muttered to himself.

He opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei——————

Annihilation Sword Qi: Tier 7 (1/50000), Special Effect: Annihilation Power (Tier 1).

……

"Unexpectedly, I managed to break through the limits by fusing the Golden Cross Slash and the Ash Cross Slash during the battle."

During his battle with the Azure Armored Ancient Saint, when Li Wei unleashed his most powerful strike, a sudden inspiration struck him, as if he had an epiphany. The golden swirling power and the ash-annihilation power merged and intertwined, forming a gray current of energy.

The destructive power of that airflow was so strong that it pierced through even the Azure Steel Shield of the Azure Armored Ancient Saint, who was known for his defense.

At this point, Li Wei's two sword techniques were integrated and combined to form a sword technique of his own creation.

The power of destruction is invincible; everything in its path, along with the gray currents, will be shattered.

"Next, I'll have to work on my sword skills too."

……

A month later.

The Azure Armored Ancient Saint secretly sent people to establish an alliance with Black Pattern City, agreeing to cease attacks on each other.

Then, the Azure Armor Ancient Saint and the Black Pattern City joined forces to begin sweeping away other large and small tribes in the western part of the empire.

Furthermore, the Azure Armor Ancient Saint also sent one of his serpent-level Azure Steel Beasts to Li Wei's residence.

Li Wei realized that the ancient sages of this world actually kept ferocious beasts for cultivation.

Inside the enormous cage, a blue steel beast lay listlessly.

The Azure Steel Beast has shiny blue scales on its body, and its overall shape resembles a giant alligator turtle, making it look extremely fierce.

Li Wei went up to draw blood for testing, but unexpectedly the lying-down Green Steel Beast suddenly stood up and roared at Li Wei.

Li Wei sneered inwardly, unleashing the full power of the five dragons to form a sharp spike that pierced the spirit of the Azure Steel Beast.

This was a skill that Li Wei learned during his battle with the Azure Armor Ancient Saint, but it was not included in the proficiency panel.

Because this skill is just a very ordinary little trick.

That is to concentrate the dragon might of the five dragon bloodlines in the body to form a mental attack.

This attack is highly effective against all reptiles and creatures with dragon blood.

The Azure Steel Beast immediately wilted; within its mind, it seemed as if five terrifying dragons of different shapes were roaring.

Li Wei then extracted the bloodline of the Azure Steel Beast and placed it into the Lorin Crystal for testing.

[Blue Lizard bloodline 68%, Swamp Crocodile bloodline 45%... Sea Dragon bloodline 5.3%]

"The Sea Dragon? It's actually this dragon."

Unlike the mysterious Netherworld Dragon, Li Wei had heard of this pure-blooded dragon.

This is a genuine, legendary pure-blooded dragon.

The most recent sighting was ten thousand years ago, when a sub-adult Sea Dragon appeared in the Endless Sea, causing some panic.

In the end, it took several high-ranking wizards from the Tower of Stars to drive it away, and they didn't dare to kill it directly.

Ordinary hybrid dragons can be killed easily, and sub-dragons are not much of a problem either.

Pureblood dragons, however, cannot be easily dealt with.

One pureblood dragon isn't a big deal, but the fear is that it might involve more and more powerful pureblood dragons, which would be a headache even for the Wizarding Council.

In the process of its rise, the wizard civilization inevitably provoked many enemies. As for the dragon race, a civilization that is generally neutral, it usually does not provoke them.

"It seems that Ocean King Ernest is the Sea Dragon."

In this way, Li Wei has initially identified three suspicious dragons among the four ancient kings.

Sky King Emerald Dragon, Underground King Xeno'jiiva Dragon, Ocean King Sea Dragon.

All three of these are pure-blooded dragons.

The Xeno'jiiva might even be related to the Black Serpent. The reason Li Wei wasn't sure was because the Xeno'jiiva is fire-oriented, while the Black Serpent seems to be water-oriented; the difference in their attributes is quite significant.

Of course, it is also possible for the same type of dragon to control both water and fire.

"Only one last thing remains. The secret of this world is about to be revealed by me... The Holy Serpent, the primordial saint, the ancient king, and the ancient wizard who entered this place—who exactly is he?"

……

Time flies, and another year has passed.

This coincides with the alliance between the Azure Armor Ancient Saint and the Black Pattern City.

In just one year, the Azure Armored Ancient Saint had essentially become the overlord of the western region of this empire.

However, we want to continue expanding.

Then we will have to face the obstruction of two formidable enemies.

The tenth and thirteenth ancient saints.

The territories of these two individuals were positioned directly in front of the Azure Armor Ancient Saint.

The Azure-Armored Ancient Saint also took the opportunity to stop his advance.

This year has seen too much expansion, and he needs time to process it all.

Most importantly, his patron, that nameless ancient sage, had been in seclusion for cultivation all year and had no time to attend to him.

The rise of the Azure Armored Ancient Saint undoubtedly attracted the attention of his two neighbors.

The Eighth Ancient Saint resides in the Black Swamp north of the Loki Plains, while the Thirteenth Ancient Saint is located in the eastern Molan Mountains. The rise of the Azure Armor has placed immense pressure on them.

However, the strength of these two ancient saints was about the same as that of Qingjia, with little difference between them, and they were wary of each other.

In the end, neither of them took the initiative to make a move, for fear that after the battle with Qingjia, another fisherman would benefit.

In this situation, a tense atmosphere is brewing.

Rocky Prairie.

Qingjia City.

The Azure-Armored Ancient Saint sat on his throne. His territory was larger than ever before, yet he could not find any joy.

That nameless ancient sage weighed on his heart like a mountain.

On this day, he received a letter from that nameless ancient sage.

After reading the letter, he fell into deep thought.

The nameless ancient sage instructed him to hold an unprecedented auction in Qingjia City.

At the auction, the "Ancient Ring," coveted by the ancient saints, will be on display. In addition, other ancient treasures will appear, and even the "Ancient Secret Techniques" capable of breaking the shackles of the ancient saints may emerge.

"What are you trying to do, sir? Aren't you pushing me into the center of this mess?"

Qingjia Ancient Sage felt uneasy.

His Ancient Saint ranking was twelfth, and there were so many Ancient Saints more powerful than him.

If those guys are attracted here, wouldn't my Qingjia City be doomed?

However, the nameless ancient sage said in the letter that he could guarantee the life of the green-armored ancient sage, and told him to do it without worry.

Although the Azure-Armored Ancient Saint was extremely unwilling, he was afraid of being blamed by the Nameless Ancient Saint, so he had no choice but to have his servants begin preparations for the auction.

To prevent his main base from being affected and destroyed by the ancient saint war, the Azure Armor Ancient Saint chose a large city of one of his tribes and began preparations.

Time passed day by day.

Time flies.

Another year has passed.

Over the course of that year, rumors about the ancient magic ring began to spread among the tribes and city-states of the Old Holy Empire.

It is said that the Ancient Saint Qingjia found the entrance to another ancient ruin in the Intis Mountains and brought out some items from it.

Among these were surplus ancient magic rings. The Azure Armor Ancient Saint urgently needed to expand his power and wanted to auction off the precious ancient magic rings in exchange for territory and cities.

Besides the ancient magic ring, the Blue-Armored Ancient Saint also obtained an ancient secret technique, which contained information that might break the shackles of the Ancient Saints.

However, the ancient secret technique was beyond the capabilities of the Azure Armor Ancient Saint alone, so he invited other ancient saints to come and decipher it together.

This message is actually full of loopholes; anyone with a discerning eye can easily spot the flaws by analyzing it.

However, people tend to have a tendency to take chances.

Even though he knew the news might be untrue and could be a trap set by the Ancient Sage of Green Armor.

However, some ancient sages who were highly skilled and daring still prepared to go.

The third ancient saint, the Broken Sky Saint of the Winged Clan, is one of them.

On the cliffs south of the Intis Mountains, a great rift valley separates the territory of the Wind God Empire from the borders of the Ancient Saint Empire.

A colossal city stands atop a cliff.

This is Lone Wind City, the city-state of the Ancient Saint of Broken Sky.

One after another, the pterodactyls flew in and out, soaring through the Great Rift Valley.

The winged crawlers of the Ancient Saint of Broken Sky all have wings and can glide over long distances. Although their flight speed and agility are not as good as those of the Feathered Race, their gliding distance is not much different.

Therefore, the Chiropterans were often recruited by people from other city-states for high salaries to serve as messengers, spies, and so on.

This is the backwardness of the crawler civilization. Even the ancient saints, despite their powerful physical abilities and ability to leap hundreds of feet high, were still unable to fly.

The Ancient Saint of Broken Sky stood proudly on the edge of the cliff, gazing into the distance.

"The secret method to break through the shackles of the ancient saints?"

As the third Ancient Saint, his strength had already reached the ceiling of the Ancient Saints. He continued to break through this constraint and pursue a higher realm.

He wasn't interested in the ancient magic ring, but he was somewhat intrigued by the secret technique.

"Let's go take a look. Even if Qingjia is setting a trap, I am capable enough to protect myself." Duan Kong Ancient Saint was confident. He spread his iron wings, which shone with black luster, and leaped into the sky, riding the wind and soaring upwards.

Meanwhile, in other parts of the Old Saint Empire, Old Saints who had designs on the One Ring or ancient secrets began setting off for the Loki Plains.

……

This day.

Livy was practicing asceticism when Monka requested an audience.

"My lord, our men have discovered the footprints of the Fiery Blood Earth Dragon Beast."

The Fiery Blood Earth Dragon Beast is an elite among the Fiery Beasts. Upon reaching adulthood, it possesses strength comparable to that of the Ancient Serpent.

"take me."

Li Wei stood up, his face gleaming.

The next day.

Li Wei arrived at the location where the Fiery Blood Earth Dragon Beast was discovered.

This is the settlement of a small tribe under the rule of Blackstriped City.

Today, the small tribe is in ruins, with the corpses of crawlers scattered everywhere, most of them mutilated, looking like bits of flesh that have been bitten off.

"This Fiery Blood Earth Dragon Beast is extremely good at digging. After each attack, it will burrow underground and escape. Even for an ancient saint, it is quite troublesome to catch it," Monka said.

Li Wei arrived at a collapsed tribal building, where there was a deep pit about ten feet in diameter.

The edge of the pit was still steaming, and the area was charred black, indicating that it had been scorched by some kind of high-temperature object.

"There are many such entrances around here. Our men went into them, but were toyed with and ambushed by the ferocious beasts, and never came out again," Monka said helplessly.

Li Wei stood at the edge of the pit, placing his palm on the pit wall.

Then all three levels of synesthesia are activated.

In an instant, everything within a radius of dozens of miles was imprinted in his mind.

Finally, hundreds of meters underground on a mountain, Li Wei discovered a creature that resembled a long snake but had four limbs, sleeping comfortably in its nest, much like the skink from his previous life.

"I've found you."

Li Wei suddenly leaped up.

He arrived above the lair of the Fiery Blood Earth Dragon Beast.

Then he plummeted rapidly, and at the same time, the power within him surged into Frostmourne in his hand.

Grayish-white energy swirled, rotated, and condensed around the sword.

"Destruction Sword Qi!"

Whoosh!

The airflow resembled a gray ray of light.

A gap was torn open in the ground, and Frostmourne pierced through it, its greyish-white energy flowing straight in and swirling forward.

Soon, a pit several hundred meters deep took shape.

With a soft "pfft".

By the time the Fiery Blood Earth Dragon Beast felt the tremors of the earth, it was too late.

The airflow pierced its spine, punching a hole through the ground.

With a loud bang.

Li Wei landed on the ground, his foot landing on the head of the Fiery Blood Earth Dragon Beast.

The colossal beast, tens of meters long, writhed and roared in agony on the ground.

A ferocious aura swept over it, but the next moment, it was met with a resounding slap.

Li Wei slapped it so hard it suffered a concussion. If he hadn't spared its life, that slap would have killed it.

"Behave yourself."

Li Wei's Dragon Might attack blasted into the mind of the Fiery Blood Earth Dragon Beast.

"Submit to me and enter into the Dragon Lord Pact!"

This Fiery Blood Earth Dragon Beast is second only to the Fiery Blood Mad Hunter Dragon among the underground Fiery Beast clan, and the Netherworld Lamp Dragon bloodline within its body must be extremely concentrated.

Gustav can enter into a contract with the main dragon, so this guy certainly can too.

Unless it doesn't want to live anymore.

At first, the Fiery Blood Earth Dragon Beast was naturally unwilling, but when it realized that no matter how much it struggled, it could not get rid of the man's clutches above it, it eventually gave up resisting.

The Dragon Contract takes effect, and Li Wei opens the Alice Ring.

The prerequisite for containing the Alice Ring is that the object must obey Levi and agree to enter; otherwise, the object must be beaten unconscious before being put inside.

In this situation, if the other party awakens and becomes too powerful, the Alice Ring will be unable to contain it. It is even possible that the other party will destroy the spatial array inside the Alice Ring, and the ring and other creatures inside may be swept into the secondary spatial turbulence.

Li Wei took some blood from the Fiery Blood Earth Dragon and tested it at the Lorin Crystal. The bloodline content of the Netherworld Dragon reached an astonishing 11%!

Flame Beast, Flame-Blooded Earth Dragon Beast, and Flame-Blooded Berserker Dragon are essentially the same species.

It's just that the different concentrations of the Netherworld Dragon bloodline in their bodies have caused mutations or evolution.

"It's a pity we didn't find the ancient beast. Oh well, we can't be too greedy. We should be satisfied with the three-ring fire dragon bloodline... In any case, we've found a way to obtain the Crimson Emperor Dragon's cultivation elixir."

Li Wei left the place satisfied.

When Monka and his men arrived at the large pit, they saw pools of blood that exuded a strong fiery power.

Without a doubt, this is the lair of the Fiery Blood Earth Dragon Beast.

"Quickly, collect them, don't waste them."

Monka looked at the blood with a pained expression.

……

The year 1093 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

The Great Expedition lasted 62 years.

The endless sea.

The eighth area of ​​the outer ring sea, the secret realm of the giant tree.

This is the secluded retreat of the Green Forest Tower.

Under the protection of the fourth-ringed Star Watcher, the wizard Riemann, the Green Forest Tower has weathered the years peacefully.

Inside the small medicinal herb garden.

Mylene is gathering herbs.

Before anyone knew it, this old man was already over 230 years old.

Under normal circumstances, a second-circle wizard, without special life-extending potions or a special physique, has a lifespan of about three hundred years.

Even if one were to expend a great deal of effort and consume all the life-extending potions, one might only live an additional fifty years. But for a low-level wizard like Mylene, that was clearly unrealistic.

However, Mai Lin wasn't afraid of getting older.

Humans are destined to die, and so are wizards.

"Grandma Mai, there's new battle report from the front lines of the Great Expedition." Winnie said, holding a freshly printed copy of the "Great Expedition Annual Report."

This is a newspaper specifically for the Great Expedition.

Winnie is currently still at the level of a first-circle senior wizard, but because of her good talent, she is not far from becoming a second-circle wizard.

"Winnie, read it to me." Grandma Mai sat in her rocking chair, gazing blankly at the sky above the secret realm.

"The Blue Sage Luther severely wounded the Father of Plague. After three years of cleanup, the main force of the Plague Legion has been basically wiped out. Now, the Myriad Machines Dimension has been initially recovered. Some of the warbands that went to the Myriad Machines Dimension continue to support other dimensions, while some of the wounded have returned with the Blue Sage's Sky City."

After Winnie finished speaking, Grandma Mai's face suddenly lit up.

"So, is there any chance that Herman will come back?" she asked.

"It's unclear at the moment; there's no list of returning passengers on this list."

"Sigh, I hope that old bastard comes back soon... By the way, any news about Li Wei lately?" Granny Mai asked.

"No, I don't know where Li Wei went. I asked a friend in Stromgarde, and he said he thought he saw a death notice with Li Wei on it... but he's not sure if it's the same person." Winnie's voice was low.

"It can't be... Even if it's just one person, it's a mistake by Stromgarde City. Li Wei isn't that easy to die. I believe in him, and I believe in the Tower Master too... I'm still alive and well, Li Wei is still young, how could he die?" Granny Mai said, her voice growing softer and softer, her eyes slightly red.

Sixty years of war have passed, and how many of my old friends remain?

……

Sea of ​​Stars.

The legendary Sea of ​​Six Towers.

It is located at the core of the Endless Sea.

The situation here is relatively stable. With many high-level elemental spirit wizards stationed in the sea area, ordinary black wizards dare not venture in easily.

On a long, narrow island, in a wizarding market, an inconspicuous wizarding artifact shop quietly operates.

"White Sand Wizarding Artifact Shop sells quasi-wielding wizard wands, first-ring wizarding artifacts, and second-ring wizarding artifacts. We accept custom-made wizarding artifacts and offer trade-ins..."

A wizard with sharp features, dressed in a black trench coat, arrived. He looked at the wizarding shop and then stepped inside.

"What kind of magical artifact do you want?" Xavier, the owner of the magical artifact shop, sensed that a customer had arrived. He came down from the wizard tower and asked with a smile.

The man in the trench coat coughed, his expression changing, and Xavier's expression changed slightly.

"Lord Sparrow?"

"Exactly."

"May I ask what business you have with me?"

"We would like to invite you to join the Starfire Wizarding Academy as a professor in the Weaponcraft Department."

"Lord Sparrow, my strength is meager, and my knowledge of artifact crafting is only rudimentary. I am truly incapable of serving as a professor. Starfire Wizarding Academy has been thriving in recent years and is capable of inviting better artifact craftsmen. Why are you so insistent on inviting me?"

"Because you were recommended by an old friend."

"Who?"

"Your old friend, Li Wei."

……

The blazing moon shines brightly, a scene reminiscent of June in the human world.

The Peacock Kingdom.

Over the past two years, the kingdom has experienced small-scale, short-lived outbreaks of plague or flu every now and then.

Then they disappear again quickly, each time taking away some lives.

The Holy Water No. 99, which the church had previously developed, began to lose its effectiveness after curing several waves of plague.

Peacock City, Holy Light Church, Heavenly Mountain.

"Have you found the people at the ghoul hut?" Yellin asked softly, sitting under the cross.

"My lord... no, this time they were too discreet. I suspect there's a master behind them," the saint said.

"No doubt about it, it's the father of the Great Impure One who's behind this."

"Could it be that the ghoul hut summoned Him to the human world? This is troublesome."

"Continue to research and develop holy water. Before the holy water is developed, we can use the seventh sealing relic to purify it. There's no need to worry too much. Since the other party is acting so suspiciously, they must be wary of me."

"Oh, and if all else fails, we can try to find that divine healer, Watson. If he's willing to develop a potion for us and serve us in the future, converting to the Father, the Church can grant him the title of 'Holy Teacher,' using divine power to reshape his body, granting him a lifespan of a thousand years. From then on, he will be revered by the world, second only to saints, above all others, and his name will be remembered for a thousand years."

"Good, this kid's really lucky. This is for forging a sacred body!"

……

Ancient Holy Empire.

Bit City, another city of the Ancient Saint of Azure Armor.

The roar of the enormous arena swept through the air.

This day marked the start of the highly anticipated "Ancient Auction".

Countless powerful individuals came from far and wide, some hoping to try their luck, others wanting to witness the legendary ancient sage.

Qingjia Ancient Saint sat nervously in the center of the high stands.

He could sense that powerful auras were lurking and hidden all around him, indicating that some ancient saints were using secret methods to hide at the auction site, not daring to show themselves.

"Hahaha, Qingjia, you actually dare to hold such an auction? I'd like to see what you're up to." A powerful voice resounded throughout the arena.

A burly figure leaped onto one of the grandstand pillars.

He was shirtless, revealing scales that resembled armor, and his tongue flicked in and out of his ferocious snake head.

"The Serpent Demon Ancient Saint and the Fourth Ancient Saint have both come. This trip has been worthwhile," one onlooker remarked.

The Azure-Armored Ancient Saint inwardly groaned, never expecting this guy to come too.

This guy once killed an ancient saint and swallowed him whole; he was extremely ferocious.

"Oh, the snake demon is here too."

A figure appeared on a nearby pillar, his back resembling a crown, now towering high.

The fifth ancient saint, the Jishan Ancient Saint.

Qingjia's heart sank even further.

Damn it, the fourth and fifth ones have arrived.

The nameless ancient sage told him not to worry, but is it really true that nothing will go wrong?

Then, the eleventh and eighth ancient saints also arrived one after another, and there were even more ancient serpent-level powerhouses who wanted to take advantage of the situation.

However, so far, none of the top three ancient saints seem to have arrived. Of course, it is also possible that they are hiding in the crowd, waiting to make their move.

"Let's begin, Azure Armor," urged the Serpent Demon Ancient Saint.

After receiving Li Wei's permission, the ancient sage in blue armor immediately announced the start of the auction.

"The first item up for auction is an ancient magic ring, which contains a personal space that is extremely convenient and practical. The starting bid is the ownership of an ancient serpent-level city, and each bid must be for at least one thousand slaves."

The first item was the spatial ring that Li Wei had discarded. This spatial ring did not require incantations or magical power; it could be opened using mental power. Although these ancient saints did not practice meditation, it was not difficult for them to open this spatial ring with their mental power.

In an instant, the ancient saints below the stage began to scramble for the items. Li Wei, hidden in the crowd, watched all this with awe.

If he hadn't known that it was just a storage ring worth 800 Tai Shi, any other wizard would have thought it was an auction for some kind of soul weapon, with bids often involving an entire city and thousands of slaves.

"Five cities!" the Serpent Demon Ancient Saint said coldly, his wealth and power dominating the entire scene.

He ceded the land deeds of five cities to Qingjia and even signed an "ancient contract" with Qingjia that the ancient saints must abide by, to prevent him from defaulting on the debt after receiving the ring.

Having obtained the ring, the Serpent Demon Ancient Saint was not in a hurry to leave. The real highlight was the ancient secret technique that offered a chance to break through to the Ancient Saint level.

Finally, the blueprint representing the inheritance of ancient secret techniques was opened.

It is decorated with various little figures in different poses, and in the center is a giant emerald dragon that spews poisonous mist.

"I've seen it before... I've seen this in the murals of ancient ruins. It's the ancient king, the Sky King Otherus!" the Ancient Sage of Ridge Mountain murmured to himself.

"Could it be that the secret to breaking through to the Ancient Saint level lies in the Four Ancient Kings?" The Serpent Demon Ancient Saint pondered.

The little figures on the inheritance chart are somewhat similar to their ancient sacred methods.

At this moment, all the ancient saints present, including those who were hiding, felt their hearts burning with passion.

Now it seems that the Azure Armor Ancient Saint was not lying to them; that ancient secret technique does indeed exist!

Qingjia could feel the powerful hostility from all directions, watching him intently. He wished he could throw the inheritance diagram away immediately.

"Everyone, the reason I invited you all here today is to jointly study this ancient secret technique and, through collective wisdom, break through the limits of the ancient saints," said Qingjia.

The ancient sages below the stage, however, each had their own thoughts running through their minds.

If everyone breaks through to the Ancient Saint level, what's the difference between that and the current situation? It would be better if no one broke through at all.

This ancient secret technique should belong to me. Only by breaking through to the level of an ancient saint can I possibly reach the realm of the original ancient saint, stand out from the crowd, and unify all the ancient saints.

Human nature is inherently greedy and selfish; this is the nature of humanity.

"Qingjia, let's be frank. Give me this ancient secret technique, and I'll guarantee your safety. You should also know that these guys never intended to legally obtain what you have. This ancient secret technique is not something you can get your hands on," said the Serpent Demon Ancient Saint.

"Ha, you think you can take it?"

Suddenly, a scream came from the crowd below the stage. A figure exploded off the ground and shot into the sky, grabbing directly at the blue-armored figure on the stage.

A fierce wind swept through, and sandstorms filled the sky, blowing many of the lizardmen in the arena away.

This symbolic power caused all the ancient saints to subtly change their expressions.

"Broken Void! Others may fear you, but I certainly don't!"

The Serpent Demon Ancient Saint rose from the ground, shattering the stone pillars. His right arm condensed endless earth-yellow power, transforming into an exaggerated rock serpent that danced wildly and bit at Duan Kong.

"Wind Fury Strike!"

The Ancient Saint of Broken Sky flapped his wings and unleashed a tearing slash towards the Serpent Demon.

For an instant.

The scene was in complete chaos.

Qingjia quickly threw the inheritance diagram to the Serpent Demon Ancient Saint.

"Serpent Demon, my safety is in your hands!"

After Qingjia finished speaking, he immediately ran away.

We can't wait any longer. He can't defeat two Ancient Saints of the Broken Void. He's in mortal danger here!

The Serpent Demon Ancient Saint was initially overjoyed, but suddenly sensed something was wrong.

Then he realized he had been tricked, but giving up at that moment was obviously out of the question.

Rumble!

The battle of the ancient saints was earth-shattering; the arena buildings collapsed with a rumble, and onlookers fled in panic.

Li Wei hid among the crowd, watching the battle.

"Let's fight, let's fight. It seems the first and second ones didn't come. That's a bit of a pity. I was hoping to capture them all in one fell swoop. Oh well, let's capture these ancient saints first, and then go visit those two."

Li Wei remained completely calm. After his battle with Qingjia, he realized that he had overestimated these ancient saints.

With his current strength, he is fully capable of suppressing all rivals, but he needs the right opportunity.

The third and fourth tiers of ancient saints were engaged in a chaotic battle in the arena, plunging the world into darkness and obscuring the sun and moon.

Li Wei found a good spot to observe the battle, set up an invisible tracking array, and watched the lizardmen fight each other over worthless items like spatial rings and breathing technique inheritance diagrams.

With the spiritual power of these ancient sages, it was impossible for them to see through Li Wei's magic array, so he remained completely calm.

He even took a bottle of Snow Beer from his storage space and watched the game while drinking it.

"Burp... Ah, that feels good."

Li Wei couldn't help but sigh.

boom!

"Sky Slash!"

The Ancient Saint of Broken Sky wielded his hands as swords, and endless azure energy flowed around him, converging into a great sword that reached the heavens and the earth!

The serpent demon was blasted underground, and the other ancient saints scattered and fled. The entire arena was split in two by the terrifying greatsword, which was quite shocking!

"Why force me to reveal my strength? Wouldn't it be better to just let me keep a low profile?"

The Ancient Sage of Broken Void put away the Breathing Technique Transmission Diagram and the Ancient Magic Ring.

"You...you."

The Serpent Demon Ancient Saint was greatly shocked. It seemed that the strength of the Broken Void Ancient Saint had increased significantly compared to before.

He remembered that in the last fight with his opponent, he was only slightly inferior, but now he was being beaten so badly that he had no chance to fight back.

Even if the Ancient Saint of Burning Heaven came, he might not be able to defeat the opponent.

Only the First Ancient Saint, Tyrannosaurus Ancient Saint Rex, can fight against him.

"You... are too weak. Do you know why that old bastard Rex didn't come?" Duan Kong shook his head and laughed, looking down at me with composure. "That old bastard is nearing the end of his life and is no longer my match. Before I came, I went to Overlord City to kill him. You all fight over this, but you don't know that I, Duan Kong, have long been the First Ancient Saint."

After the Ancient Saint of Broken Sky finished speaking, a lizard head resembling a Tyrannosaurus Rex, with its eyes wide open in death, appeared in his hand. It was shattered by the wind blade, and blood mist and broken scales drifted away with the wind.

"Now, I, Duan Kong, possess ancient secret techniques and the power to suppress all of you. I ask you this: who dares to disobey?"

Duan Kong felt exhilarated and couldn't help but look up at the sky and let out a long roar.

He lay low in the northern frontier for many years, always holding the third position, never showing his true colors.

Now it has suddenly appeared out of nowhere, stunning the world. I can't describe how wonderful this feeling is.

"I refuse to accept this."

As soon as Duan Kong finished speaking, flames swept out from the void behind him, and the sky was filled with red clouds.

A pair of large hands wrapped around the waist of the Ancient Saint of Broken Sky from behind.

A crimson beast that stretched across the sky appeared and suddenly exerted its strength!

Click.

The ancient saint of the Broken Void, whose body was as hard as black iron, was almost severed.

An endless burst of azure energy blasted away the giant hand, and the Ancient Saint of Broken Void, now out of control, stared in horror at what was behind him.

The three-headed, six-armed fire giant, its face expressionless, suddenly kicked out, sending a gust of air swirling and slamming Duan Kong into the ground, raising dust and sending rocks flying.

Then, the giant descended from the sky, and Duan Kong quickly retreated.

boom!

The ground on which the entire Colosseum stood began to collapse.

The Ancient Saint of Broken Void, who had escaped death, didn't even have time to celebrate.

From all directions, streaks of light shot straight up to the sky; those were array flags.

"Tianluo! Town!"

Li Wei was a wizard, so naturally he wouldn't compete fairly with these guys; he would use the three-ring magic array as needed.

Duan Kong, who was trying to escape, was temporarily blocked by the magic array. At this moment, the Crimson Flame Giant had already rushed in front of him.

Duan Kong relied on his speed, which surpassed Li Wei's, to dodge and dash around within the magic array.

"They're buzzing around like flies, so annoying."

In the blink of an eye, Li Wei unleashed the power of the five dragons, their surging dragon might like the tidal bore of the Qiantang River.

The moment Duan Kong was stunned, Li Wei pointed out with one finger.

Mixed drugs!

The swarm of highly venomous creatures broke through the opening, entered the wound, and infected the victim.

"Destruction Sword Qi!"

Li Wei's sword energy sliced ​​off Duan Kong's wings.

Then the Great Black Heaven Curtain completely suppressed it.

"Who...who exactly are you?" Duan Kong asked, completely bewildered. Even the Ancient Saint of Burning Heaven was no match for him, so how could there be a powerful member of the Fire Lizard Clan who was even stronger than him?

The strength of the Ancient Saint of Burning Heaven is second only to that of the Fire Lizard Clan throughout history, second only to that disappearing or fallen being.

Upon realizing this, Duan Kong's expression changed drastically, and a storm raged within him.

"You...you are the original Ancient Saint!"

Li Wei frowned, then a thought struck him, and with an aura of quiet authority, he spoke calmly.

"That's right, I am the First Ancient Saint, and I have come to make the Ancient Saint Empire great again!"

It is our inescapable duty to revive the glory of our ancient sages!
