Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 300 Wings of Wind and Thunder, Sixth Talent, Level Ten Awakening, Eve of a Prosperous Era! (Long Chapter, Please Vote and Subscribe)

Levi had little hope for Soret's plan.

But it's okay to let him try.

If it really succeeds, the value of a Morning Star-level artifact of truth is immeasurable!

With such a treasure, Li Wei has a much better chance of advancing to the Yuan Soul realm in the future!

Levi will not participate in Soret's actions. His focus remains on the first five levels; no elemental spirit wizard is willing to take him to the sixth level or above. Even if someone were to take him, he wouldn't go!

Given his strength, venturing to the sixth level would be far too risky; he was well aware of his own limitations.

"However, if a Soul Wizard could secretly help Solette, his plan would still have a good chance of succeeding... How about we ask the Knight of Flowers? She doesn't seem to have any intention of entering the Dark Tower. I could take out a Dark Tower key and make a deal with her. She would help Solette, and I would give her a chance to enter. Of course, if she doesn't want to enter, then forget it."

……

Three days later.

Li Wei arrived at the Giant Beast Park and released the giant narwhal from Alice's Ring.

Melina flew over quickly and said with some concern, "She's injured...it looks like she's in so much pain."

"Well, she's alright. You can send someone to take care of her and heal her injuries. I'll be relieved now that Leviathan has a companion," Levi said with a smile.

"Yes, I will take good care of them," Melina nodded.

In the ocean, Leviathan curiously observed the giant whale, which was much stronger in both size and aura.

The narwhal stared intently at Leviathan, extremely wary, and even emitted urgent warning cries.

Leviathan dared not approach, but upon seeing the wounds on her body, he let out a pitying groan.

The narwhal glanced at Leviathan, then swam away into the depths of the ocean.

Leviathan looked at Li Wei on the shore, somewhat puzzled.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Go on, kid, are you planning to stay single forever?"

However, before this kid advances to level three, given the disparity in their social standing, it will probably be very difficult for him to win over the narwhal.

Extraordinary organisms instinctively choose the stronger individuals to ensure the excellence of their genes and bloodlines.

Of course, this kid has an advantage: he's a half-dragon, which might help him win the heart of a beauty.

On the high seas, Leviathan nodded and quietly followed behind the great narwhal.

When the narwhal stops, it stops too; when the narwhal moves, it moves too.

"Send someone to keep an eye on them, make sure nothing happens," Li Wei said, then turned and left.

After returning to the Imperial Palace.

Li Wei took out the piece of meteorite iron and examined it carefully.

"Now, knightly divine weapons include cloaks, armor, longswords, and shields... As endurance-type divine weapons, they are best suited to my [Wind and Thunder] magic.

The operation of the Wind and Thunder Dharma Form requires a large amount of wind and thunder power, and its operating principle is a magical version of wind power generation.

How about making a divine weapon shaped like a windmill? No, that's too ugly, it doesn't match my cool knight style... Wait, it seems I could forge a wing-type divine weapon. By flapping the wings and vibrating the feathers, I could continuously generate wind and thunder power, channeling it into my Wind and Clouds Dharma Form, making my stamina invincible!

Without hesitation, Li Wei immediately began forging the divine weapon.

Besides that, there was the research on the sixth talent spell and the crafting of the sea tribe's swordsman corpse demon.

……

Time flies like an arrow.

Six months have passed in a flash.

The year 1162 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Frosty Winter.

The Realm of the Earth, the Central Continent, the Northern Plains.

The climate here is relatively cold, with continuous snow-capped peaks and a fierce local culture.

Blood flowed like a river in the small village.

A strong, dark-skinned boy was lying in front of his parents' bodies, weeping bitterly.

Just yesterday, a wandering black wizard came here and went on a rampage, slaughtering the people of a village to refine his black magic artifacts.

Such acts of indiscriminately slaughtering mortals are despised even among dark wizards.

After all, many dark wizards simply disagree with white wizards on ideology, but they also know that mortals are the foundation of wizarding civilization and will not easily slaughter them.

The boy went into the mountains to hunt and escaped a disaster, only to return and discover this human tragedy.

"Despair?"

"Feeling helpless?"

"Do you want revenge?"

"Do you crave power?"

Faintly, it seemed as if countless voices were echoing in the boy's ears.

"Is this some great wizard? I beg you to take me as your apprentice, I'll do anything!" the boy shouted to the vast sky and earth.

Amidst the wind and snow, a towering figure draped in a black raven feather cloak slowly approached, followed by dark crows and endless twisted shadows lurking within, resembling a demon's lair.

Beside him were several rather strange-looking wizards dressed in black robes.

"My lord, please take me as your disciple!" The boy knelt on the ground, pleading, tears falling onto his parents' cold corpses, his hands clenched tightly.

"What is your name, my child?" The imposing figure's face was obscured.

"My name is Reias Gerst," he said.

"My child, I sense a unique aura emanating from you." The imposing figure spoke with a kind voice.

"I...I am a descendant of the Serpent Emperor Gerst family. I am a knight, but unfortunately, in front of wizards, I am nothing." The boy bitterly expressed his grievances.

"Don't underestimate yourself. You possess immense potential; you are a rough gem, unpolished. I see your exceptional talent; you are undoubtedly a prodigy in the path of wizardry. I have a powerful technique here; would you be willing to learn it?"

Upon hearing this, the boy's heart stirred, but he gradually calmed down. He asked, "My father said that there are no free lunches in this world, and that every gift bestowed by fate comes with a hidden price. May I ask, sir wizard, what is the price I must pay?"

"You're very smart, and I admire you. But I don't need you to pay any price. Just work hard to become stronger!" he said.

The black-feathered figure stretched out its hand, and a black feather shot out, piercing the boy's brow, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes, the men in black had already disappeared.

"The Nine-Headed Hell Serpent Body Refining Technique is both a meditation method and an attack method, aiming directly at the realm of a Grand Wizard?"

Although the boy had never practiced cultivation, he had heard some wandering wizards talk about it in the tavern.

The Grand Wizard is the highest level among wizards, and can be said to be a powerful figure standing at the pinnacle of the world!

In the wind and snow, the boy's figure slowly disappeared.

From the clouds, the figure revealed his face; it was none other than the Black Feather Demon King, Victor!

"Lord Victor, is this method truly capable of leading to the level of a Grand Wizard?" a figure in black robes asked.

Victor said, "This method, along with the Eight-Armed Demon God Body Refining Method, the Ten-Winged Heavenly Dragon Body Refining Method, and the Thousand-Eyed Titan Body Refining Method, are known as the four ancient body refining methods. It is possible to cultivate to the peak of the eighth ring. Theoretically, if one has exceptional talent, reaching the ninth ring is not impossible."

"I see."

"The Eight-Armed Demon God Body Refining Technique imitates the sea race, the Ten-Winged Heavenly Dragon Body Refining Technique imitates the dragon race, and the Thousand-Eyed Titan Body Refining Technique imitates the giant. Do you know who created this Nine-Headed Hell Serpent Body Refining Technique?"

The black-robed subordinate shook his head.

Victor laughed and said, "This was created by some being from the abyss. My painstaking search for the destined person in various places is nothing more than to complete his mission."

The black-robed subordinate sighed:

"The method created by the Abyss Lord has actually become a body-refining method in the wizarding world..."

Victor said, "That lord was a great figure in the wizarding world in his lifetime, but he abandoned the path of wizardry and turned to the path of the abyss in order to gain greater power and a longer lifespan... Let's continue. A seed that was sown some time ago has died, so we still need to spread the net widely."

In Victor's hand appeared a nine-headed hydra statue, each of its nine heads pointing in a different direction, guiding Victor to the location of the "body-refining prodigy" suitable for practicing the "Nine-Headed Hell Serpent Body Refining Technique".

The next direction was none other than the south of Middle-earth.

……

The year 1163 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Moon.

The 62nd roundtable meeting was successfully held.

The Knight of Flowers did not attend this meeting, apparently he has not yet returned from the Dark Lands.

After the meeting, Li Wei continued his spiritual practice.

A month later.

The weapon-refining room.

Li Wei exhaled a long, hot breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The Sky Dragon Divine Weapon is more difficult to forge than all other divine weapons combined.

Over the past six months, Li Wei personally took charge, researching innate spells and forging a full three thousand feather-thin blades.

To enhance the ductility and toughness of the meteorite iron, Li Wei also added a large number of other rare metals and materials.

Now, what lies before Li Wei is a carpet of blue and white metallic feathers.

These were all forged from that piece of meteorite iron the size of a human head.

Li Wei picked up one of the feathers, which was wrapped with sharp energy and terrifying electricity. Then he gently sliced ​​the floor with the feather blade, and the floor was cut open as if it were tofu.

"Not bad, it can also be used as a concealed weapon. Next, it's time to assemble it."

The most difficult step of forging has been completed, and assembly is now easy.

After the frame was assembled, these feather blades were then inlaid into it one by one.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

During the month of Budding, the Sky Dragon Divine Weapon was fully assembled.

On the floor of the weapon-refining room, a pair of blue and white wings with a wingspan of about three meters unfolded.

Li Wei cut his finger, and the blood flowed in, quickly engulfing the wings.

Given his current physical condition, this amount of bleeding is nothing.

The wings quickly absorbed the blood on the ground, then shrank and entered Li Wei's body.

Above the Sky Palace, the floating white feathered dragon opened its eyes, and countless blue and white metallic feather blades whistled towards it, condensing into a pair of blue and white wings around it!

Li Wei left the imperial palace and went up to the high heavens.

In the blink of an eye, three thousand feather blades flew out and swirled around Li Wei.

"It does match the special effect of the Sky Dragon Breathing Technique's [Three Thousand Feathers Falling]."

Li Wei was talking to himself.

"combine!"

With his command, three thousand feather blades forged from wind and thunder meteorite iron instantly formed a pair of translucent steel wings!

Lightning flashed and air currents surged on these steel wings.

A continuous stream of power surged into Li Wei's body. Even without using the Sky Dragon Dharma Form, Li Wei could feel his stamina increase by one-tenth!

A level 1 divine weapon provides a 10% boost to basic attributes. This boost increases by 10% with each subsequent level up, reaching 20% ​​after level 3.

Behind Li Wei, the image of "wind rising and thunder surging" emerges.

The blue and white wings gradually merged with the Dharma form, and wisps of wind and thunder power continuously flowed into the white feathered dragon phantom, which then transformed into an inexhaustible source of power for Li Wei.

Li Wei's wings vibrated rapidly, creating friction between the air currents and generating lightning!

A burst of lightning flashed, and the celestial dragon's form became increasingly solid!

Even without the Thunder School's spells to recharge, Li Wei could still feel that vast and abundant power.

The divine wings forged from meteorite iron and thunder are the best power generation devices.

Moreover, as Li Wei's speed increased, the vibration frequency of his wings continued to rise, and the force he absorbed also increased!

"The Sky Dragon's Dharma Form and Divine Weapon form an almost unbreakable endurance cycle system. Before the wind and thunder elemental power in the Divine Weapon is exhausted, I am essentially a built-in power bank. And if the wind and thunder elemental power is exhausted, I can still generate electricity continuously through high-speed flight and combat. In this case, although the energy input is less than what I consume, it can still increase my endurance!"

A man's strength lies in endurance!

The Sky Dragon Divine Weapon not only increases stamina, but also slightly increases Levi's speed, which, combined with the speed bonus from the Crimson Cloak, creates a powerful effect!

Moreover, these feather blades are extremely flexible and, despite their thin appearance, possess strong defensive capabilities.

In critical moments, the feather blades can also cover Li Wei's entire body, like a bird, to provide protection.

Finally, Li Wei can also rely on his powerful mental strength and blood energy to perform short-range telekinetic control over these feather blades.

He simply waved his hand.

All the feather blades on his back shot out, three thousand attacks, covering the sky and densely packed.

Relying on the power of wind and thunder, these feather blades are extremely fast, comparable to the legendary flying swords of my previous life!

"Gather!"

All three thousand feather blades soared straight up into the sky.

During the fall, they merged into a giant blue and white sword about three zhang long!

Terrifying lightning power spread across it.

Rumble!

The sword struck the ground, cracking the earth, scorching the soil and rocks, and setting the trees ablaze.

On the Eye of Castro, a number appeared: 131 calories!

"Such formidable power! Although this is an endurance-type divine weapon, thanks to its superior quality and my control, the power it unleashes is not far inferior to the Fire Dragon Calamity!"

Therefore, the Sky Dragon Divine Weapon, besides enhancing endurance, is also excellent in both offense and defense, truly overpowered!

All of this is thanks to Soret, the treasure-delivering boy, who brought the top-quality Wind and Thunder Meteorite Iron to our doorstep!

Otherwise, it would be an unknown amount of time before Li Wei could find materials perfectly suited for the Sky Dragon Breathing Technique.

Ultimately, Li Wei named this divine weapon:

"Wings of Wind and Thunder!"

Crimson Dragon Slashes Iron, Golden Dragon Soars to the Sky, Scarlet Shadow, Undying Armor, Wings of Wind and Thunder!

Of the six dimensions, apart from perception, divine weapons for the other dimensions have already been created.

"Five core items! Let's keep jungling and farming!"

Li Wei has already decided on the divine weapon for the Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique.

That's a helmet!

As a knight, how can you be without a helmet?

On the one hand, the helmet can protect the most important part of the head; on the other hand, it is also the most suitable weapon for sensory attributes!

Li Wei imagined what he would look like with all six divine weapons in hand:

Armored in jet-black magic and helmet, wielding a crimson longsword, draped in a blood-red cloak, carrying a golden round shield, and riding Raja, this is the legendary "Dragon Knight." Only such a look can match his current status and position!

After putting away his divine weapon, Li Wei realized that the Mind-Stealing Demon had sent him a message.

After reading it, he fell into deep thought.

"On the first day of 1165, the three major powers besieged Paradise Mountain! There are less than two years left. The Dark Tower should open around the middle of 1165."

He sent a message to the Mind Devil, continuing his undercover work and spying.

Mind Flayer said that he had now risen to a minor command position in this operation.

Moreover, the Lord of the Demon Wolf Fortress ordered the Mind Flayer to use its terrifying soul-stealing ability to infiltrate the church, waiting for the moment of the final battle to open the barrier of Heaven Mountain and let the three major forces rush in!

"At that time, I can go and observe, figure out a way to trick the Duke of Blood Lake, and then take the Van Helsing family inheritance from Paradise Mountain. The rest is none of my business."

Li Wei could not possibly help these foreign tribes attack Paradise Mountain.

Although he was at odds with the church, he wouldn't stoop to being a villain.

At least, mortals under the rule of the church can still survive, but under the rule of those alien races such as werewolves, vampires, demons, and blue frost, humans can only be reduced to blood food. Even if they live, they are just pigs in the slaughterhouse, not even as good as the church.

Li Wei didn't want that scene in Black Wolf City to repeat itself in the Peacock Kingdom.

No matter what, the Duke of Blood Lake must die!

Upon arriving at the spore culture laboratory, Li Wei discovered that the spores he had planted some time ago had not germinated.

"Hopefully, by the time I return from the ancient pagoda, I will have already reaped the rewards."

After leaving the laboratory, Li Wei toured the Ancient Saint Plane.

Inside the giant monster park, Leviathan followed the narwhal around like a shadow all day, but the narwhal clearly ignored him.

In this situation, Li Wei had no choice but to let nature take its course.

Raja and Night Fang, on the other hand, were having a very good relationship. When Levi arrived, Raja was doing something unspeakable to Night Fang.

Melina said that Raja and Nighttooth had mated multiple times.

However, no children have been born from this love so far.

She explained that if both parties are hybrid dragons, the chances of them having offspring are actually smaller.

Two equally powerful yet completely different dragon bloodlines are prone to conflict and mutual cancellation.

This prevents the night tooth from being fertilized for a long time.

On the contrary, creatures like Leviathan and narwhal are more likely to produce offspring.

This is also why pure-blooded dragons are so rare.

Dragons are truly a peculiar species. For pure-blooded dragons, many can hardly find another pure-blooded dragon of the same kind from birth until death. However, it is not easy for them to produce offspring with other pure-blooded dragons of different species.

This leaves many pure-blooded dragons with nowhere to vent their reproductive desires.

This is how all sorts of hybrid dragon races came to be, and the dragon descendants were born.

Over time, the pure bloodline is gradually diluted.

Of course, this does not mean that Raja and Yaya will become infertile.

It's just relatively difficult, but as long as you keep trying, there's always hope.

Without disturbing Raja and his wife as they were conducting their business, Li Wei quietly left the Beast Park and headed towards the Temple.

Within the Combat Technology Research Committee, new combat technologies have emerged in recent years, including several Level 2 combat technologies, all of which are quite impressive.

Li Wei put it away. He planned to create his own level 5 combat skills through actual combat in the ancient tower. These combat skills could all be used as references.

Meanwhile, the Talent Imprint Research Group has also achieved remarkable results.

Level 1 Shield Guardian Mark and Sword Fighting Mark have been introduced and are becoming increasingly popular among knights of level 1 and above.

Steel Dragon, Knight, Thousand Illusions, Divine Light, Dark Moon, Silver Dragon, Halberd, and Blood Knight—eight official members—joined the group to study talent imprints together.

On the other side, the Middle-earth team is also thriving.

After Li Wei sent another message to the Knight of Flowers, the Knight of Flowers responded.

Li Wei and Bai Hua sat facing each other at the round tea table.

"What is it, Commander?" the Knight of Flowers asked with a smile.

"Does the Knight of Flowers have any intention of entering the Dark Tower?" Li Wei asked.

The Knight of Flowers nodded: "I would like to go in, but I don't have the key to the ancient tower. What, you're not planning to go in? I remember Triss gave you the key, right?"

"To be honest, I have another key here, and I'd like to make a deal with the Knight of Flowers," Li Wei said.

"What kind of deal? Tell me about it."

Li Wei then explained Soret's plan to the Knight of Flowers.

In general.

Livy gave the key to Loretta, and Loretta was responsible for helping Soret obtain the Treasure of Truth.

As for the Knight of Flowers' other gains in the Dark Tower, they all belonged to her.

After a moment's thought, the Knight of Flowers said, "Deal! I'd love to get a piece of the Letney family off the hook!"

The Knight of Flowers had been bullied by the Gold Mage King, and given her personality, she would definitely want revenge.

Unfortunately, the difference in strength was too great, and they never had a chance.

And now, the opportunity has arrived!

"Then I'll leave the rest to the Knight of Flowers. I've been in the Ancient Saint Plane for the past two years, so you can come to me anytime to get the key."

"no problem!"

After completing the transaction with Baihua, Li Wei was in a good mood. For a Morning Star-level Truth Artifact, it was worth paying an Ancient Tower Key.

Based on previous patterns, Morning Star level rare items can only appear on the sixth level and above!

In the fifth level and below, it's already quite good if you can find a sky-level rare item.

One cost of doing this is that Li Wei needs to bring one less extraordinary creature, but this is not a big problem. The Dark Tower is a world on each floor, and with Li Wei's strength, going to the fifth floor should not be a problem.

He had been searching for five worlds, yet he still refused to believe he couldn't find the secret elixir for practicing breathing techniques.

Flower Month.

The Knight of Flowers once again arrived in the Ancient Saint Plane, and she came to the Imperial Palace.

Li Wei was already waiting for her there, holding a gleaming key to the Dark Tower in his hands.

"It's a pleasure working with you, Commander!" The Knight of Flowers revealed a charming smile.

"Be careful. The artifact of truth is secondary. The most important thing is our lives. I don't want to lose any of my members... If possible, also protect my wizard slave so he doesn't die in there," Levi said.

"Don't worry, Commander, stop nagging... By the way, be careful in the ancient tower. If you need help, contact me as soon as possible. You can only go up in the ancient tower, not down. If I go to the upper levels, I won't be able to help you." The Knight of Flowers put away the key and turned to leave.

Li Wei watched the Knight of Flowers' figure disappear before returning to the Imperial Palace to continue his seclusion.

……

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the dark land.

There is a plane that is like an amethyst.

The crystal walls of the plane emitted a strange purple hue, making it particularly eye-catching in the dark place.

The sky here is all pale purple.

In the center of the plane, there is a colossal purple mountain.

Above it stands a towering temple.

In the square in front of the temple stands an amethyst statue as tall as the temple itself.

Below the statue, a series of purple figures stood upright.

The Amethyst Plane is different from Nora's.

Here, there is only one absolutely centralized, unified military empire!

Purple Saint Empire!

The ruler of the empire is the Amethyst Saint who has lived for 100,000 years!

He is both an emperor and a god in the hearts of the Amethyst people!

The people of the Purple Crystal Clan in this area are generally over three meters tall, and some are even over ten meters tall.

They are a humanoid race with shimmering amethyst skin. The amethyst race has no distinction between male and female, so their appearance is generally androgynous.

There were more than a hundred members of the Amethyst Clan standing here, the weakest of whom was at the peak of the fourth level.

The strongest were five Amethyst Clan members who were hundreds of meters tall, each with an aura comparable to a Yuanhun Wizard!

In the Purple Saint Empire, beings of level six and above are all "generals" of the empire: Major General, Lieutenant General, General, and Marshal.

Above the marshal, there is only one person: the Amethyst Saint!

This is an empire where everyone is a soldier; apart from having a small population, it has no other drawbacks.

The average strength of individuals of this race ranks among the top in the entire Sauron Panplane!

Amethyst Mountain is the sacred mountain of the empire, and the temple on the mountain is the residence of the empire's ruler!

Everyone stood there silently, as if in military training, waiting for that being to arrive!

Suddenly, the towering temple gates slowly opened.

From among them, a purple giant with his hands behind his back and his upper body bare slowly emerged.

His body was covered in scars, each one bearing the marks of thousands of years.

On some of the scars, the lingering power of legendary magic and the divine power of the gods remain!

These scars are the medals of the Amethyst Saint, proof of his invincibility!

"By the Holy One!"

"By the Holy One!"

One after another, figures prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing and worshipping the saint!

The sage gazed down at the young figures below, his weathered eyes sweeping over everyone.

"My children, in one year, you will travel to the Ancient Tower of Ten Realms, a paradise for the strong and a battlefield for all races. Remember this: you are the Amethyst Clan! Behind you, I, the Saint, will stand by your side!"

Therefore, use your iron fists to crush every enemy who dares to challenge our authority, especially those wizards. Before the empire was established, we were enslaved by wizards for hundreds of thousands of years. Now, it's time to fight back and show those weak flesh and blood what true invincibility is! Kill, kill, kill!

The Purple Crystal Saint's voice was like thunder, shattering the purple clouds within a radius of ten thousand miles!

"kill!"

"kill!"

The amethyst warriors roared as if they had been injected with adrenaline!

……

Six months later.

Another place in the Dark Lands.

The [Tomb Dimension] is deathly still.

The ground here is covered with ancient battlefields and piles of bones.

Suddenly, a huge bronze dragon claw tore through the earth and emerged from it.

Accompanied by the terrifying roar of the dragon, the earth within a radius of tens of thousands of miles cracked and the earth's crust began to shift.

Nine colossal dragons, each a thousand feet long and unique in shape, rose from the ground and soared into the sky.

Some of them resemble snakes, some resemble wolves, some resemble giant birds... but most of them are classic dragon shapes. In their previous lives, they were all pure-blooded dragons!

They were covered in bronze armor, bearing the mottled marks of time, and bound by chains.

Nine chains stretched taut, pulling a massive, mountain-like golden chariot behind it.

Inside the chariot was a blond figure dressed in a black imperial robe. Although his eyes were closed, he exuded a powerful kingly majesty.

What kind of person could have nine pure-blooded dragons pulling his carriage?

As the earth cracked, underground palaces rose from the ground, ancient coffins appeared, and figures clad in bronze armor opened their eyes from their long slumber, sensing the aura of the [Emperor]!

The golden-haired king on the chariot is none other than the ruler of the Tomb Plane!

Nine Dragons Emperor Saint Kais!

A level 10 being who has been slumbering deep within the tomb dimension for a long time!

"By imperial decree, all those chosen by the Ancient Pagoda are to assemble at the Nine Dragons Imperial Palace to pay homage to the Emperor!"

The messenger's shrill voice echoed throughout the tomb dimension, awakening the sleeping members of the ancient tomb clan!

……

The year 1164 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Frosty Winter.

Dragon's Curse Dimension.

In the sky, a ferocious, twisted, and crazed black dragon opened its eyes.

On the ground below, figures that looked like dragons but were incredibly ugly and evil, with black scales, knelt in worship.

They are dragon foes, just like the divine foes born of gods, rejected by gods and ghosts, and intolerable to heaven and earth!

They are even despised by the pure-blooded dragon race that gave birth to them, and are immediately exterminated upon discovery!

It is said that dragon monstrosities are extremely unstable, mutated individuals born from the union of dragons and powerful alien races.

They are more powerful, more insane, and more bloodthirsty than the Dragonborn!

They possess immense destructive power, bringing calamity, despair, and twilight.

The enormous black dragon in the sky, as massive as a mountain, is the protector and guardian of all dragons.

The Evil Dragon Venerable Odeross!

It also has many other names:

Father of Dragons, the Black Dragon Who Annihilates All Dragons, the Star-Eating Dragon, the Most Evil Dragon...

Its infamy resounds throughout the entire universe!

Too many powerful warriors have tried to defeat it, but it only grows stronger!

It hates dragons, and since ancient times, the number of pure-blooded dragons it has devoured is too many to count on two hands.

Over time, dragons became increasingly rare in the Sauron Panplane, and this was the culprit!

Even a legendary wizard wouldn't provoke this evil dragon without good reason!

On the ground, the dragon monstrosities huddled beneath the black dragon's overwhelming wings.

"Go, spread my glory, tear the dragonborn and the dragon race to shreds! Devour their noble blood, suck their delicious marrow, and trample their so-called dignity! Let the name of Odeross reach the ears of those self-important dragons and dragonborn, and tell them that I have created the twilight of the dragon race!"

……

Deep in space.

There is a spherical plane, resembling a red giant star.

Its surface is covered with high-temperature airflow capable of instantly melting steel, as well as flames and magma.

The entire plane is filled with the rich power of celestial and terrestrial fire elements, but even the wizards of the Burning School do not want to, and dare not, cultivate here.

There is no normal land, sky, or water here, no resources that other wizards rely on for survival. There is only fire, and... another form of life.

Fire Elemental Spirit!

This is a kingdom composed of the element of fire.

Giant whales, long snakes, phoenixes, turtles, insects, humanoid creatures... all sorts of fire elemental spirits live comfortably here.

At the heart of the Red Cosmic Plane, in the hottest place in the entire plane!

A red-haired giant clad in crimson armor was fast asleep, his snoring thunderous and echoing throughout the plane.

As if sensing something, he woke up from his deep sleep and sat alone in the center of the earth. Suddenly, he smiled, as happy as a big child who had lived for nearly a million years.

"The ancient tower is about to open! Hooray, we can watch the show again!"

He danced wildly, causing the earth to tremble, so much so that the Red Cosmic Plane seemed to shake, and storms of fire particles continuously poured into the dark land.

"It's a pity... Sauron, who used to watch the show with me, is gone. None of these young people around here are as interesting as Sauron. Hmph!"

His memory went back to a very, very long time ago:

A mature, composed, confident, and handsome white-robed wizard, dragging a giant black serpent that seemed to contain the essence of earth, fire, wind, and water, encompassing the vast universe, arrived in the Red Giant Plane and awakened him from his slumber.

"Why have you awakened me? I am Grius, the sovereign of fire elements, the god of fire beneath the celestial realm, the son of the sun god, the king of fire! You little insect, state your name!"

"Um, Lord Grius, hello, I am Soren, an unknown wizard. I would like to ask you to help me forge a treasure."

As the great Fire King, an ancient being whom even the gods show some respect to! How could Grius possibly work for someone else so casually!

A great war broke out.

After a rather uneventful battle.

"Tell me, what should I do?"

"It's very simple. Use your extreme flames to melt this giant serpent and melt it into the shape of a ten-story ancient pagoda. I'll do the rest myself."

"Okay, but let me make this clear first: I'm happy to help, not forced to. I was careless in that fight just now."

"Thank you for your kindness; you have gained Sauron's friendship."

"snort!"

What he thought would be a piece of cake took Grius a full ten thousand years to accomplish.

That giant serpent possessed an extremely rare and powerful divine authority of [Chaos], although it was only a small part, far from being comparable to the part possessed by the [Lord of Chaos].

But even after the giant serpent died, it remained impervious to water and fire, and was neither decayed nor rotten!

Grius couldn't imagine how Sauron could have killed such a powerful being, one that even a god would find troublesome!

Have humans become this powerful in the time it takes me, Grius, to take a nap?

Ten thousand years later.

The ancient tower was completed, and Soren arrived as scheduled.

"Thank you, Lord Grius, I will never forget your help."

The moment the ancient tower was completed, another magnificent spectacle appeared in the dark land!

Some call it: the tenth miracle of the Dark Lands!

When the ancient tower first opened, Grius and Soren watched the spectacle together, speculating who was more likely to obtain a certain treasure on a particular floor.

But from the second time onwards, he never saw Sauron again.

He thought that Sauron was probably dead.

Sauron always lamented that time was never enough and that life was too short. Even his level of attainment was but a fleeting shooting star in the vast multiverse.

Humans have such tiny brains, yet they think so much.

Let's return to the present.

Grius stood up and strode away from the Red Cosmic Plane. Each step he took covered a distance that a mortal could hardly traverse in a lifetime.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he saw the familiar ancient pagoda. He couldn't remember how many times he had watched a play alone.

It seems that among all the level 10 beings around me, only I am so bored.

He gazed at the now-immovable dark tower and the distant Nora plane, Sauron's homeland.

He sat motionless in mid-air, his hands supporting his chin, while a massive volcano materialized beneath his buttocks.

His eyes were fixed on the walls of the ancient pagoda, like a rural child waiting for a movie to be shown in the village, lonely and expectant.

……

The Central Realm.

Parliament headquarters.

Pan-plane observation unit.

There is a giant sphere with a diameter of about 100 zhang.

This is the legendary artifact, the Eye of Sauron!

A group of distinguished and powerful wizards were watching from the sidelines.

"The ruler of the Crimson Cosmic Plane has arrived again. He's so idle; it's good to live so long... Should we report this to the Grand Council Speaker?"

"No need. He comes every time. He's just an observer. He doesn't provoke us, so there's no danger."

……

world.

Ancient Sage Plane.

Time flies, and another year has arrived.

The year 1165 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Moon.

This is also the first year that the Dark Tower was opened.

The ancient pagoda is now completely immobile, silently floating in the darkness, waiting for those destined to enter.

That year, Li Wei turned 175.

In his mind.

The four-story Dharma Ring Holy Tower rotates slowly, and the spiritual energy stars within it have spread all over the sky, reaching a number of three hundred and sixty!

Although this level of mental strength is still 140 points away from the universal standard limit of 500 points for the fourth ring.

However, within the fourth ring, 360 points already falls into the late stage of the Wizard's skill level.

In addition, a new frost dragon, radiating a sharp and chilling aura, has appeared on the Holy Tower of the Ring of Law.

The dragon is lifelike and graceful; upon closer inspection, it is composed of countless magical runes and nodes.

This is Li Wei's sixth innate spell:

Ice Dragon Prison!

Ice Dragon Prison is a rather unique type of area-of-effect spell.

Its inspiration comes from the Coral Witch's innate magic.

After the spell was cast, a frozen domain with a radius of one mile was formed centered on Li Wei.

Within the area, enemies will suffer from an extremely low temperature field, causing their movements and even mental energy to stagnate. Even the flow of magical power will be affected to varying degrees depending on their level of cultivation.

Li Wei, on the other hand, will be in an excellent peak state, always clear-headed, rational, with a pure heart, and unfazed even if the sky falls!

Furthermore, the Ice Dragon Prison can generate both offensive and defensive spells of the Frost School, though their power is generally limited. Its primary function is to inflict negative status effects on enemies while simultaneously granting buffs to oneself!

This is also the most complex and advanced spell that Li Wei has researched so far! Domain spells are extremely difficult, and very few people have mastered them!

If used properly, it will be a major weapon in Liwei's Dark Tower!

Li Wei arrived outside the imperial palace and looked up at the sky.

A colossal, dark, ancient tower phantom is spanning across it.

The key inside him hummed and vibrated, reminding him that a grand event spanning multiple dimensions was about to begin!

"There's one more thing."

Li Wei didn't have time for the meeting. He left the Ancient Saint Plane, entered the Crimson Dark Side, and flew towards the Peacock King City.

The Battle of Paradise Mountain has begun!

(P.S.: The Ancient Tower arc has begun. This is a crucial chapter that connects the previous and subsequent chapters. There are relatively few instances in this book, and this is my first time writing a large instance, so I'm still a bit rusty. This month, I can only guarantee more than 8,000 words per day, and 10,000 words a day if I'm in good form. I can't update as much as I did last month, averaging 11,000 words per day. I also need to build up my manuscript this month to prepare for moving to Beijing next month. Please understand.)

10000 words today, plus an extra 4000 words, 71000 words still owed. I will correct any typos later. Qidian now has a typo marking function, so please mark it as you read and I can see it in the backend, which is very convenient.

At the beginning of the month, I'm asking for monthly votes, subscriptions, and recommendations!
