Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 254 A Thousand Paths, Ten Thousand Extraordinary Achievements! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The Peacock Kingdom.

Flower City.

Black Serpent Castle.

The aged "Baron Reed" Andrew sat alone on the castle rooftop, enjoying the night breeze and gazing blankly at the full moon hanging high in the deep night sky.

"I'm getting old..." he suddenly said.

It wasn't to pretend to be old; Andrew was genuinely old and nearing the end of his life.

Vampires are long-lived species with long lifespans. The original vampires can achieve a kind of indirect immortality by sleeping in a hibernation chamber similar to those in science fiction works.

Although this kind of immortality is mostly spent in unconscious sleep, it is meaningless.

However, Andrew is only a second-generation secondary vampire, not a first-generation secondary vampire like the Blood Knight.

He practiced the Blood Beast Breathing Technique, but he was stuck at the Legendary level and couldn't break through. Bloodline is one aspect of talent, but it's not the whole story.

Andrew now feels as if he is about to die. His body is aging, and even his soul is aging, which is the most terrifying thing.

"Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well take that damned Misell with me before I die." Andrew's face hardened, and he stood up, revealing his aged vampire form.

From the year 1017 of the Holy Radiance Calendar to the present year 1111, he has stayed in the City of Flowers for his master for nearly a century.

Over the past century, he has played many roles and witnessed many changes in the world.

He felt that the last hundred years of his life had been quite worthwhile.

Compared to the original vampires who hide in the darkness, he, a despised "inferior race," is on the edge between humans and vampires. He wants to integrate into the vampire race but is considered an inferior race. He wants to integrate into the human race but can never go back.

The person Andrew wanted to deal with, Misel, was an elusive native vampire who had been hunted by the knights of the Twilight Temple many times before, but he had always managed to escape.

Over the years, he has frequently spread the cult doctrines of the Luna Church in the Flower City, causing some bloodshed. Andrew and he have been secretly outwitting each other and have already discovered Misell's main hiding place.

The Moon Goddess Cult has gathered many believers across the Seven Kingdoms, and behind this lies the shadow of the Demon Banquet Alliance.

The two main families of the Demon Feast Alliance, the Lesenba family, were completely wiped out by their master in the early stages of the Demon Tide's resurgence.

Another large family, the Thorn Secret Demon family, has always remained at large.

After so many years of development and expansion, the Thorn Mystic Clan has either killed or subdued all the vampires of the Secret Alliance.

Today, the vampire forces in the human world have completed a major consolidation. They have awakened the powerful original vampires sleeping in the deep mountains or ancient castles, and created more secondary vampires to strengthen their own power.

The Moon Goddess Cult wields considerable influence among the four giants of the Dark Alliance.

The so-called Big Four are the Moon Cult, the Werewolf Brotherhood, the Death Society, and the Ghoul Hut.

The Ghoul Hut operates with extreme secrecy, relentlessly spreading the plague and accumulating power, leaving the Church helpless.

The Blue Frost Necromancer forces behind the Death Society are based in the North and the far north. At the slightest sign of trouble, they retreat to the perilous Blue Frost Plane. Because of the Blue Frost Plane's eerie corrosive power, most knights, rangers, and even church saints are unwilling to step into it.

The werewolf brotherhood needs no introduction; compared to vampires, they are much easier to disguise themselves among humans and are now thriving.

Besides the four major dark forces, established organizations such as the Silent Monastery, the Temple of War, the Voice of the Dead Bird, and the Wilderness Brotherhood are also developing their own paths.

The Voice of the Dead Bird is said to have produced a powerful ace assassin, [Shadow Hand Wood], a fanatical follower of the Lord of Shadows. Rumor has it that he has obtained divine power and his strength has surpassed that of the organization's founder, [Thousand-Faced Knight]. He once escaped from an attack by a saint and left a great name in the underworld.

The secretive organization, the Silent Monastery, has also begun to reveal itself, with a group of all-female nuns known as the Dead Nuns, starting to become active on the continent.

In stark contrast to the Silent Monastery, the Temple of War is a group of fanatical warmongers composed entirely of men, who seek to unleash a new storm of war upon the world.

The Wilderness Brotherhood is always active when chaos first appears, like wild grass that cannot be extinguished by wildfire and will spring back to life with the spring breeze.

Therefore, even the Church of the Seven Gods felt the pressure from all sorts of demons and monsters, and began to join forces and form alliances in an attempt to weather the turbulent years to come.

"But victory will surely belong to the Twilight Knights!" Andrew was absolutely certain of this.

Because he personally witnessed how a clandestine organization grew from small to large, to the point where it could now be compared with those established organizations.

Under the cover of darkness, Andrew, feeling the power of the full moon, quietly left the castle.

"Andrew, where are you going?" A calm voice rang in Andrew's ear.

Andrew looked up and saw a figure seemingly descending from the sky and landing in front of him on the moon.

He wore an antique-style golden knight's armor and a scarlet cloak, his arms crossed over his chest, exuding an imposing aura.

"Master, there are insignificant enemies causing trouble in our territory... I want to go and deal with them," Andrew said.

"Why didn't you tell the Blood Knights?" Li Wei asked.

"They are just ordinary native vampires... I don't want to trouble them every time, and I don't want to trouble you, Master," Andrew said, bowing his head, his voice aged.

"Andrew, you're getting old," Li Wei suddenly said, his tone somewhat complicated.

"Master! Andrew can still fight," Andrew said quickly.

Li Wei sighed inwardly. In truth, the Flower City was no longer of any use to him.

But Andrew has been guarding this place for nearly a century, and protecting it day after day has become a part of his life.

Perhaps at first, everything was maintained by contracts, but now, a century of protection has become a habit, as ingrained in our hearts as a program.

Li Wei remained silent. His Nightmare Perception swept across the entire city. With his current level of power, even if the Flower City had a church, he could use his perception without any qualms.

Apart from the powerful figures at the Holy Radiance Church headquarters, the priests or bishops stationed in these churches had no way of sensing that Li Wei, who was like a god, had investigated them.

Not long after, Levi found the enemy Andrew had mentioned.

That was a native vampire hiding in the city, but it was only a level one peak vampire. Any one of Li Wei's pets could easily defeat it.

He stood atop the church, sat down leisurely, and took out the "Blood Wine" from the Shining Tavern.

"Andrew, come on, have a drink and get some rest," Li Wei said softly.

Andrew looked nervous. He walked shakily to Levi's side, took the wine Levi handed him, and drank it down in one gulp.

After the wine was finished, a dark shadow appeared behind Li Wei in the darkness.

Then the black shadow merged into Li Wei's body, which was the [Mixed Poison True Form].

A primal vampire bound by ropes formed from a swarm of highly venomous creatures appeared before Li Wei.

This is the original vampire that Andrew intends to take down with him, Misell Thorn Mystic.

He once held a dark fairy tale tea party in the suburbs, inviting a group of dark creatures to a silver party.

He had already fled before the Blood Knight and Black Knight swept through the area.

Now, he has fallen into the hands of the Twilight Knights' leader.

With a thought, Li Wei unleashed a nightmare even deeper than the darkest night.

Misell's face was filled with fear. He struggled on the ground, his face closed, already asleep.

Li Wei discovered that the power of nightmares seemed to be able to trap enemies in an illusion.

Those whose mental strength was far inferior to his were especially vulnerable and fell for the attack immediately.

He also understood why the human-faced spider could toy with him.

Then, Li Wei pointed to Misell's forehead and used the ultimate [Dreaming with the Wind] spell to search Misell's subconscious.

Ultimately, he found some useful fragments of memory.

By piecing these fragments of memory together, he obtained a great deal of information about the Moon Goddess Cult that was previously unknown to others.

"This can be considered a disguised form of soul-searching..."

Andrew watched his master's unpredictable abilities quietly. He was not surprised, because this was only the tip of the iceberg of his master's true strength.

"The current headquarters of the Moon Goddess Cult is located in an underground cave complex in the Star Empire, where a Level 4 native vampire is suspected to be stationed... My Crimson Dragon Breathing Technique is also lacking vampire secret medicine. Since this organization is so unconventional, I might as well test my current strength."

According to Li Wei's analysis, the most suitable secret medicine for the Crimson Dragon Breathing Technique should be the negative energy of dragon bloodline, but unfortunately, this thing simply does not exist in the Wizarding World or the Old Saint Plane.

He had been cultivating using the bloodline of Skearin, a peak level two vampire, and who knew when Skearin would advance to level three. So, impatient, he planned to find a vampire of a higher level to form a contract with.

He came to find Andrew to inquire about the current high-level vampires in the human world.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Misell causing trouble in the Flower City, so there was no need to ask Andrew anymore.

The wine is finished.

Misel also died in the nightmare, and a blood-red light surged out.

Li Wei stretched out his fiery hand, attempting to grab it.

The light pierced through it and disappeared into the horizon, as if merging into the full moon.

Li Wei gazed at the blood-red moon, his heart at peace.

"Compared to the will of the Blood River, I am still just an ant... This true spirit wants to take it away, and I can do nothing about it."

Andrew, let's go. I'll take you to see those noble native vampires. Don't worry, if I could, I wouldn't let you die so easily.

After Li Wei finished speaking, he leaped into the sky, with Andrew following closely behind.

……

Star Empire.

This kingdom is located on a vast plateau on the continent, the closest place to the stars, and its capital is Nebula City.

Thousands of miles away from Nebula City, a small town lies silent in the darkness of night.

In the church of the small town, the corpses of priests lay everywhere.

An elegant middle-aged nobleman is bathed in blood. Behind him, on the dome of the church, on the statues, are blood-red monsters of various shapes and ugly faces.

They stand silently in the church, like monsters in religious murals.

"Let's begin. Convert more blood servants. Before the Star Apostles arrive, let's act quickly," the middle-aged nobleman said.

His name is Claire, a noble level three vampire and one of the Blood God Protectors of the Moon God Cult.

"Yes, sir." One by one, the vampires hidden in the darkness began to move.

They are active throughout the city, setting up eerie blood-red magic arrays, and carrying strange and unusual blood weapons.

Claire, meanwhile, sat atop the church, keeping watch for her men in preparation for a potential surprise attack from the Church of the Stars.

"The real show will begin once Blood River and Nora are fully connected. Until then, let's build a massive army of blood servants for Lord Blood God in Nora..."

The number of native vampires is not large, so if the Moon Cult wants to compete with the Church, it must create more vampire servants.

Most original vampires can only create one secondary vampire. Although secondary vampires can continue to be created, the final number of secondary vampires that can be born is not large.

To possess a true army of vampires, one must find another way.

Fortunately, the bishop of the Moon Goddess Cult, a level four vampire who had been asleep in the human world for a long time, received the decree of the Blood God and was awakened.

They also obtained a vampire magic array called the "Blood Earth Reincarnation Array".

By using a city as a sacrificial site and activating the Blood Earth Reincarnation Array, there is a chance that so-called "Blood Servants" will be born among mortals.

Blood servants are not as strong as secondary vampires, but they are at the level of ordinary human knights, and some of the powerful ones are even at the level of great knights.

Blood Servants are strong in number; they are cannon fodder, just like the Scourge.

Don't underestimate these cannon fodder; they are indispensable for any force that wants to conquer a territory.

This small town is far from the church headquarters, and they carried out this operation in great secrecy. By the time the other side found out, the ceremony here had already been completed.

In the small town, as the Blood Soil Rebirth Array was deployed, blood mist filled the air, and the earth began to turn dark red. The pitch-black sky also turned dark red.

"The blood and gore of this world..."

Claire opened her arms and embraced this bloody, crimson world.

Suddenly, a sharp and domineering sword light tore through the night, dispelling the blood mist.

boom!

With a soft thud, Claire was sliced ​​in two by the sword's light, his blood splattering on the spot.

The church beneath him crumbled and collapsed with a deafening roar.

The earth trembled, and dust flew everywhere.

Claire's two halves of her body rose from the dust.

His intestines and internal organs were spilling out all over the floor.

Blood gushed from the wound, but before long, Claire's body was completely healed.

His face was pale, and he stared solemnly into the void ahead.

A man clad in golden armor and wielding a crimson greatsword stood in mid-air, accompanied by an elderly secondary vampire.

"You...you actually dared to attack a noble native vampire? You..." Claire hadn't finished speaking.

With another sword strike, it cleaved him in two.

He fell to the ground and stood up again like a paper doll, coming back together.

"This self-healing ability is really impressive," Li Wei remarked softly.

"Foolish one, vampires are immortal and invincible!"

Claire no longer cared who it was.

"Bloodfang's true form!"

He roared, and his body began to swell, with sharp spikes like shark teeth growing from his skin.

Before long, Claire transformed into a terrifying behemoth covered in ferocious blood spikes, standing ten meters tall, and still moving with ghostly speed.

boom.

next moment.

Claire collided with a pitch-black demon.

Claire retreated rapidly, and the demon exploded, turning into countless black poisonous mists.

"Defeat it first," Li Wei said calmly.

"You're not from the Church? Who are you? To be an enemy of vampires is to court death," Claire said.

He was repeatedly defeated by Li Wei's mixed poison true form's offensive.

His vampire power was incredibly strong, but his mixed poison true form was no less powerful. He was immortal and indestructible, and so was his mixed poison true form.

Li Wei found this thing to be very useful.

"It's a pity that the peak of the third ring is already the limit of this mixed poison true form..." Li Wei sighed inwardly.

Meanwhile, the two colossal flying beasts, the Crimson Netherworld Sparrow and the Wind and Thunder Wyvern, used flames and lightning to send those low-level native vampires back to the Blood River.

The humiliated Claire was completely suppressed by the hybrid poison true form. The powerful vampire true form's attacks on the demon were always hitting thin air, and the vampire's blood magic was basically useless against the demon.

Levi used the Crimson Pact to subdue Claire, who then prostrated herself before him.

"How can we stop this formation?" Li Wei asked.

"Master, the Blood Soil Reincarnation Array has already started operating and cannot be stopped. Next, the mortals in this city will either die in the Blood Soil or be reincarnated in the Blood Soil as low-level Blood Servants," Claire said.

Li Wei frowned, looked at the mortals struggling in the blood mist, and silently turned and left.

He originally intended to go to the vampire's stronghold, but he encountered a level three vampire on the way. He changed his plans on the spot, since a level three vampire was enough. The vampire's stronghold was still somewhat risky.

As for these mortals, there was nothing he could do.

This world is so cruel.

Early morning.

The sun rises at dawn.

But this small town was still shrouded in blood mist, never seeing the light of day.

Several figures broke through the air and descended upon this place.

Leading the group was Estella, a young girl dressed in a starry tulle dress.

Every move she made exuded a mysterious and unpredictable aura, captivating the heart.

She frowned, gazing at the scene that resembled a living hell.

Everything in the city turned to blood-red soil in the blood mist.

A blood-red monster with exposed veins roared in pain.

She witnessed a little girl crying and then suddenly collapsing, swallowed by blood and soil. When she reappeared, she was a hideous and terrifying blood monster in the shape of a young child.

"Vampires!"

Estella was gloomy inside.

She underestimated the extent of the vampires' arrogance.

The Star Apostle next to Estella whispered, "My Lord, it seems that others have been here before."

"I can tell."

Estella gazed at the church and the earth torn apart by the sword energy.

This power is not much less than that of the saints of the Church, though of course, it cannot be considered as great as that of Grado.

Among the saints, there are also those who use swords as weapons, such as "Dragon".

However, the sword energy unleashed by saints usually carries a hint of divine aura, due to the unique characteristics brought about by their divine agent attributes.

However, the sword energy that caused ravines to appear in the earth did not possess this kind of aura.

This sword energy is domineering and unparalleled; it's unimaginable that such a thing exists in the mortal world.

"Could it be...it's him?" Estella suddenly remembered the strange man she hadn't seen in a long time.

Estella immediately guessed the general idea.

Judging from his behavior, he seems to have a grudge against vampires. The last time I saw him, he was also hunting vampires.

It seems that he might have been the one to take action this time, eliminating these vampires.

In this world, there are often chivalrous knights and rangers who uphold justice and slay demons, but they usually only deal with minor troubles. Someone like that strange man, who could split the earth with a single sword strike, is a rare breed indeed, like Estella.

The next day.

Atop a mountain range in the Wanlong Empire.

Two figures stood proudly on the cliff.

One was as beautiful as a fairy, with a graceful figure; the other had a firm gaze and was healthy and well-proportioned.

"I didn't expect the vampires to be so rampant. It's time to launch a counterattack," the dragon said.

"Yes, this can be considered our first operation since the alliance was formed. It was a pleasure working together," Estella said.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you," Long said with a smile, confident and composed.

"I once knew a human whose strength was probably no less than yours or mine. He was suspected to be a knight and possessed powerful and extraordinary sword skills."

"However, he might also be a dragon descendant. I sensed a similar aura in him to yours; he's also hunting vampires. If possible, you could come with me to meet him another day, offer him some benefits, and try to recruit him into our camp to better cope with this turbulent year," Estella said.

"Oh? A human being, and you actually value him so much? In the multiverse beneath the astral plane, there are indeed some dragons and humans who have left behind bloodlines... If he is a dragon descendant, it's not impossible for him to give birth to a powerful swordsman." The dragon's tone was tinged with pride as he said this.

As the King of Dragons, he was once a pure-blooded dragon and one of the best among them, although there were also conflicts and contradictions among the dragons themselves.

But in front of outsiders, he still takes pride in being a dragon.

"Okay, let's go see him in a few days. We'll teach those vampires a lesson first. My Wanlong Empire has been frequently harassed lately. These unkillable little bugs are indeed troublesome..."

"Blood River is getting stronger and stronger. Even though He hasn't become a god, His strength is almost on par with it." Estella's face showed a hint of worry.

"Of course, this is a descendant of that being from the underworld. He was born with a portion of the divine authority over death and reincarnation, and he has even independently comprehended the absolute divine authority over blood..." the dragon said, without much fear.

There are also differences between gods. For example, the Seven True Gods of Nora, such as the King of Dragons, are certainly not unknown figures in the Astral Plane.

"On another note, at the end of ancient times, some people worried that the rise of wizards would endanger their fundamental divine authority, fearing that legendary wizards would steal the power of the gods, and thus launched a war of the gods."

In the end, they suffered a great loss because of Sauron... It was also because of Sauron that those guys realized that wizards didn't care about those "divine powers" at all.

To gain divine authority, one must condense a divine personality in the astral plane. Success and failure both depend on the astral plane; it is both the cradle and the shackles of the gods.

"It's ridiculous. Some guys in the Astral Boundary are racking their brains trying to get out, while those outside are desperate to get in... Judging from Blood River's attitude, He wants to be deified in this era. This upheaval will inevitably drag some old things from the Astral Boundary down, falling to the mortal realm. At best, they'll lose their godhood and become saints; at worst... they'll perish."

"Dragon said with some emotion."

"Haha, so Sauron said: The Astral Plane is a walled city," Estella smiled.

"Indeed, Soren's description is extremely apt. He truly deserves to be called a wizard and a cultured man..." Dragon joked, a rare occurrence for him.

"It's too late to say anything now. Once you've chosen a path, just stick to it to the end... whether it's the path of divine authority and faith, the path of truth and knowledge, or any other path..."

The myriad paths and extraordinary abilities across multiple dimensions are too numerous for anyone to attempt. People have different understandings of these paths. Some believe that the path to immortality is the true path, so the gods took the shortcut of the astral plane, at the cost of being trapped there and unable to transcend it.

Some pursue truths that can never be reached, and thus the community of wizards arose. Their journey, however, has been incredibly arduous, hampered by their short lifespans, lamenting the vastness of knowledge, the distance of truth, and the insignificance of life… In the boundless universe, all living beings are striving to cross the threshold of existence.

Seven days later.

The two saints, Dragon and Estella, led their respective Dragon King Apostles and Star Apostles, along with the Church's Knights, to destroy numerous vampire strongholds. They eventually located the vampire's main camp.

The massive church army stormed in, killing most of the vampires in the main camp. Hundreds of native vampires were wiped out, and their true spirits returned to the Blood River to rebuild themselves in the city.

Unfortunately, the bishop of the Moon Goddess Cult, a level four vampire, escaped the church's blockade by relying on blood artifacts, blood arrays, and the desperate obstruction of his protectors, and his whereabouts remain unknown.

No matter what.

The main force of the Moon Goddess Cult was completely wiped out.

It will probably take until the demonic tide recovers further to recover.

This news shocked the world.

The church had been suffering setbacks, and for a time, rumors circulated that the church was failing and in dire straits.

Now, with a swift and decisive move, the other three members of the Dark Four, as well as other secret organizations, have begun to reduce their frequency of appearances.

Looking at it now, your grandpa is still your grandpa.

The Church's power is still not easily shaken.

……

Inside the Flower City.

Li Wei, who was playing chess with the elderly Andrew, learned of this news.

"I was worried that the vampires would retaliate against me, but now it seems they're too busy taking care of themselves to come after me."

Li Wei muttered to himself.

This day.

Skearn, Claire, and Levi, the two vampires bound by their pact, stood before Levi.

"I currently hold three positions under the Crimson Pact. The position of Baron Baghdad of the Sea Clan is unmovable. I also need the Sea Clan to collect resources and transmit intelligence for me in the Wizarding World. This is also a trump card if I need to contact the Sea Clan in the future."

"Skein's position can be released now. A level two vampire is no longer of much use to me. I'd rather keep him to contract with more powerful supernatural beings... like that damned fire elemental."

With a thought from Li Wei, the scarlet dragon mark within Skearin's body began to emerge, transforming into a blood mist that vanished without a trace.

Without the Crimson Pact, Skearin was initially bewildered, then looked at Levi with a menacing expression.

The next moment, Skearn, who had rushed over, was pinned to the ground by Claire and became Claire's blood slave.

In this way, Skearin is essentially still Livy's servant, a perfect transition.

"It's a pity that these vampires can't be bound by the Oath Sword, because the Oath Sword is a contract made by taking advantage of the swearer's fear of death. These vampires are not afraid of death at all. In their minds, they will be reborn in the River of Blood after they die... Only the Crimson Contract, which is so domineering that even the slaves cannot have the thought of suicide, can be used."

Having resolved the contract issue, Levi asked Claire.

"Is there a way for secondary vampires to extend their lifespan? Or rather, a way to completely transform into original vampires?"

Claire shook her head: "No... Primal vampires are children of the Blood River. They are either the offspring of two primitive vampires or born in the Blood River. There is no other way."

Levi sighed as he looked at Andrew.

Andrew remained remarkably calm in the face of his impending death.

“Master, there’s no need to force me. Anyone you could find could protect this territory better than me. I’ve lived for hundreds of years, and to be honest, I’m getting a little tired of it. If you’re willing to let me go, I won’t have any complaints,” Andrew said.

"If you've come to terms with it, then I respect your choice," Li Wei said calmly.

Even he couldn't make Andrew live a few more years.

These days, he tried transplanting the original bloodline of the original vampire to Andrew, but there was no improvement.

It wasn't that Li Wei's transplant failed, but rather that the most crucial element of the original vampire bloodline—the [authority] related to the mysteries of longevity—could not be obtained through a crude transplant.

He had always wondered why, despite taking so many vampire secret medicines and practicing the Crimson Dragon Breathing Technique, which was a fusion of the Blood Beast Breathing Technique, he had never been able to obtain special effects similar to those of the Longevity Clan.

These past few days, after interacting with Klaue, a mid-level vampire he knew better, he had gained some insight.

On the path of the vampires, the River of Blood at the end of that path firmly holds certain key authority in its own hands.

"Perhaps, this is the power of God?"

This [permission] can only be partially transferred to others through methods approved by that person, such as changing the form of a secondary vampire.

Li Wei's simple and crude transplantation method is ineffective.

If Li Wei wanted to try more things, he could search for more longevity bloodlines and transplant them into Andrew.

However, he felt that the outcome might not be good. First of all, bloodline transplantation itself has many requirements and risks, especially for someone like Andrew who already has the bloodline, the probability of conflict is particularly high.

Secondly, if one could obtain the lifespan of an immortal species through transplantation, then the wizarding world would already be full of half-vampires, half-elfs, and half-dragons.

Since Andrew himself wanted to rest, Li Wei stopped bothering him.

……

Time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye.

A year has passed.

The year 1112 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of the Furnace.

The flower city was sweltering.

That year, Li Wei stayed in the City of Flowers, as if undergoing spiritual refinement in the mortal world, returning to his former life as a minor lord.

He felt the impact of the resurgence of the demonic tide on mortals. These poor people lived day after day in the lies of the Holy Light Church, which attributed the appearance of those dark creatures and the suffering of mortals to their own lack of piety and effort...

It wasn't just ordinary people; even the clergy of the Church of Holy Light were filled with fear. These people were afraid that their power, status, wealth, and privilege would be affected in this upheaval of a new era.

Li Wei watched all this with a cold eye. He could only do his best to ensure that the residents of his territory were not attacked by dark creatures and that they could at least have enough to eat.

He didn't bother to expose all the church's lies; it would have been a futile effort.

Even if the Church of Holy Light is completely eradicated, without the church, there will still be various other rulers oppressing ordinary people and deceiving the world with another kind of lie.

Weakness is the greatest original sin.

The tenth Twilight Knights Roundtable Meeting was successfully held this past year.

Emperor Mu continued to fight alongside the Goddess Knights in the Frozen Realm, achieving great feats and bravely slaying enemies. In these battles, Emperor Mu's strength grew continuously, and he even created hundreds of different "moves"...

"Sacred Ape Fist," "Giant Dragon Strike," "Flying Eagle Skimming the Sea"... Li Wei couldn't bring himself to compliment their naming skills.

In Li Wei's view, these moves are essentially just subtle differences in the application of blood and qi.

However, it seems that Mu wants to give all his basic attacks names, so that others will think they are all ultimate moves.

Li Wei's Sky Dragon Breathing Technique also advanced to the fourteenth level in that year.

The special effect of the [Dragon Pillar of Heaven] has been upgraded to Tier 2, further enhancing its stamina.

In this way...

Of all the breathing techniques Li Wei currently uses:

The Golden Serpent, Crimson Dragon, Crimson Emperor Dragon, and Sky Dragon represent the four dimensions of defense, speed, strength, and endurance, all of which have reached the fourteenth rank, which is the second transformation of the Blood Source realm.

The Death Breathing Technique, representing physical constitution, is at the thirteenth rank. With a change in bloodline, it will still be a Nightmare Dragon of the perception type, currently at the twelfth rank.

In addition to these breathing techniques, he also practiced all the excellent and legendary breathing techniques he had, including the Peacock Breathing Technique obtained from the Divine Light Knight, the Golden Lion Breathing Technique obtained from the Golden Lion Knight, and the Aurora Breathing Technique projected by the Goddess Knight.

The Golden Lion is a power-type breathing technique, primarily used for breaking limits. The Peacock and the Aurora Bird, on the other hand, represent physical strength and speed, respectively.

"The Crimson Emperor Dragon is already relatively perfect. After all, it has previously fused with four breathing techniques that surpass the legendary level, such as the Crimson Lotus and the Kui Beast. In comparison, the Golden Serpent, Death Ash, Crimson Dragon, and Sky Dragon still need to be further improved, otherwise they always feel that they are not on the same level as the Crimson Emperor Dragon."

These are Li Wei's insights over the years.

As for the Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique, there are no more perception-based breathing techniques in this world.

Therefore, Li Wei no longer has the materials to continue integrating the perception dimension.

In the future, he may need to rely on his own strength to promote the sensory breathing method.

In a way, Li Wei had a feeling that the opportunity to advance his breathing technique further lay in the nightmare world that he feared so much.

One day, he will have to be ready to step into that world, to face the spider-faced man, to face the nightmare!

On this day, Li was on his way to repair the vehicle.

Inside the castle, Andrew closed his eyes, his expression serene.

"Rest in peace, Andrew."

Levi personally buried Andrew, placed Skewyn here, and then left the City of Flowers.

I'll correct any typos later. Today's chapters total 9,000 words, with an extra 3000 words added. I still owe 5000 words.
