Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 306 A Miraculous Item Emerges, Deathly Ashes Break Through, the Dragon Reborn! (Long Chapter, Please Subscribe and Vote!)

(Note: The word "human" that the Amethyst Clan shouted before their death in the previous chapter has been removed. This was because Lao Tian got confused while revising and didn't notice the error. Sorry!)

Ancient Dragon Empire.

The ancient sage of the Senate stared with fervor at the projection high in the sky.

"This is the true power of the ancient sages! The power of the emperors!"

"Those heretics and wicked methods dare to anger the Emperor! They deserve to die!"

The ancient sages had witnessed Li Wei wielding the Six Paths of Gods, and thus were able to recognize him.

Twilight Temple.

Those well-built knights were even more excited!

"This is the kind of battle I've been wanting! I'm going into seclusion! I'm going into seclusion! If I don't become a first-class knight within three years, I swear I'm not worthy of being called a human!"

"I always felt that this monster had some similarities to the leader, but he's too ugly, so he probably isn't the leader."

"If you ask me, the commander is probably in seclusion somewhere."

……

The endless sea.

Ocean Abyss Alliance.

The young body-refining wizard's eyes burned with fervor.

"Damn it! If I had known such a being existed, I shouldn't have gone into seclusion. I, the mighty Extreme Fist Overlord, am unable to fight against such a being. My heart aches so much I can't breathe!"

If you miss this opportunity and want to fight the Amethyst Clan and the Dragon Abominations, the only way is to fully enter the Yuanhun realm and travel to different planes.

However, these groups are few in number and most of the time stay in their own planes, protected by level ten beings.

He wouldn't be so foolish as to fight in someone else's base.

"Seclusion has ruined my life!"

The Central Realm.

The sharp-eyed dragonfly wizard looked at the images sent by his subordinates.

"A dragon abomination? Why does it remind me a bit of the Demon Dragon Sword Wizard? Or rather, the Demon Dragon Sword Wizard isn't a dragonborn at all, but... a dragon abomination!"

The Dragonfly Wizard's inner thoughts only get more distorted the more he analyzes them.

……

Nine levels of hell.

The fifth floor.

A figure walked silently across the wilderness.

His upper body was bare, protected by jet-black scales that resembled a ferocious demonic armor.

He wielded a black demonic sword, his body engulfed in an inextinguishable black flame, making him appear like a demon.

At his waist hung three demon heads and a large wine jug.

These heads all belong to the Devil Duke.

He sat down on the ground, drank the strong liquor, exhaled a breath of alcohol, and said:

"I've been feeling uneasy lately, it's strange, I always feel like someone is talking about me behind my back... Speaking of which, the Ancient Tower has opened recently, the Wizarding World must be quite lively."

As the offspring of the Black King Dragon of Purgatory, he fell into hell to escape his enemies, slaying demons to avenge his mother and cultivate his own [Purgatory Demon Sword Path]!

His name is the Demon Dragon Sword Wizard Sordros!

……

Outside the ancient pagoda.

The Dark Land.

In the void, Grius sat atop the volcano, chin in hand, watching the spectacle.

"Is the dragon abomination really that strong? Could it be Odeross's hidden trump card?"

As a level ten being, he generally only watches "spectacles" at the level six or above.

However, there are occasionally some interesting "little dramas" in these lower layers.

The battle just now, in which the dragon genie slaughtered the three Purple Crystal Clan members, was quite spectacular, even by his standards.

"What? Isn't it standard procedure for us Dragonborn to defeat the Amethyst Clan?"

In the void behind Grius, a majestic and expansive black dragon projection gazed at the third level of the ancient tower, seemingly still savoring the view.

It was none other than the Evil Dragon Venerable, Odeross.

"You only dare to project here?" Grius laughed.

"Hmph, I'm not as free as you are," said the Evil Dragon Venerable.

This place is too close to the wizarding world. If he were to come here in his true form, it would definitely attract the attention of those legendary wizards.

He was different from Grius; Grius was Sauron's sworn brother, and the legendary wizard of the council naturally wouldn't provoke him.

In fact, the Evil Dragon Venerable was also filled with doubt.

It had its subordinates investigate, and found that among the dragons sent out this time, there was none that possessed three heads and six arms.

However, the other party didn't seem to be fake. After all, while Long Nie's appearance was easy to fake, that crazy, perverted, and domineering aura of "I am the only one who matters" was something that couldn't be imitated.

"You must be a wandering dragon who has been cultivating. Come home, child. Come to the Dragon Abomination Plane. This is your final destination!" the Dragon Abomination Father murmured to himself.

……

The Dark Tower.

The third layer.

Hurricane Canyon.

Li Wei put away the huge amethyst.

"This thing can be used to refine weapons. Its quality is no different from that of a level 5 material, except that it does not have elemental properties."

Scattered in the deep pit were a pile of storage rings and magical artifacts.

These all burst from the bodies of the Amethyst Clan.

Unfortunately, many of these things were destroyed in the recent battle.

In fact, storage rings can also be damaged, and the lower the grade, the easier they are to break.

Generally speaking, given Li Wei's current level of cultivation, even a fourth-ring storage ring could be broken by accident.

Therefore, when dealing with overwhelming enemies, he tries to kill them with his sword to avoid indiscriminate attacks that could destroy the ring.

If the storage ring breaks, the space inside it will also break.

If you're lucky, you might get something inside; if you're unlucky, you'll be swept into the spatial turbulence.

This time the enemy was too strong. Li Wei had to use the Six Paths Gods to suppress them, so he couldn't fully control his strength and could only go all out. The aftershocks of the attack damaged a small part of the ring.

Fortunately, rings that are easily broken are usually of poor quality and have a low probability of containing something valuable, but they are still heartbreaking to see.

Like a diligent and frugal old farmer, Li Wei carefully collected the surviving spoils on the ground.

afterwards.

He gazed at the devastated canyon. His battle with the Amethyst Clan had shaved off many mountains and cracked the earth.

In some places, there were scattered points of blue and silver light. Li Wei even saw a glimmer of gold.

"Sand in the Sky?"

He was shocked.

These sands are hidden inside the mountain, and if perceived with spiritual power, they are no different from ordinary sand and gravel.

Therefore, mining will require digging little by little.

Now, after a fierce battle, many ores have been exposed on their own, which is a pleasant surprise.

Li Wei quickly summoned the corpse demon and together they collected the ore.

In his hand was a small handful of golden sand, as light as a feather.

"The Sand of the Void, once refined, can cause magical artifacts to vanish into the void, disappearing without a trace. It can also create invisible wind elemental blades for attack and can corrode other magical artifacts, making it infinitely versatile."

This small handful is clearly not enough to make a Soul Weapon.

Li Wei plans to find the Land of Earthly Fire, refine half of it, and reforge the Wings of Wind and Thunder. As a rare level-six material, only a small amount is needed to upgrade the quality of the Wings of Wind and Thunder.

The other half, however, is to be kept for now, in case of unforeseen circumstances.

This thing won't be so easy to obtain in the Wizarding World.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Li Wei saw the giant blue crab hiding in the distant clouds, its two telescope-like eyes peeking out, watching him furtively.

A purple amethyst also appeared on its pincers, but it was only one-third the size of Li Wei's.

After the Amethyst Clan dies, they will eventually coalesce into amethyst crystals.

If these amethyst crystals are returned to the amethyst plane, they can be given spirituality and activity, and over time, new amethyst species will be born.

Therefore, Li Wei remarked that this was a very perfect race.

To be honest, dealing with the three-headed, level-four peak Amethyst Clan member is more difficult than dealing with Lady Ghost.

The giant blue crab threw the amethyst over, and it rolled down in front of Li Wei.

"You're going to give it to me?" Li Wei's heart skipped a beat.

The large blue crab shook its head with its pincers, and then produced a shiny gold coin from somewhere, which it showed to Li Wei.

Upon closer inspection, Li Wei realized that this appeared to be currency from a mortal civilization in some other plane, made of very ordinary gold.

Li Wei asked suspiciously, "You're asking me if I have this?"

The large blue crab nodded and moved back and forth in the clouds, its pincers gripping the clouds.

This scene reminded Li Wei of a merchant rubbing his hands together, begging for money.

"You like gold coins? That's easy."

With a wave of his hand, a pile of gold coins that he had been keeping gathering dust in his storage bag all flew towards the giant blue crab.

The giant blue crab was incredibly fast; with a flick of its claws, it collected every single gold coin.

Its eyes shone with a genuine joy.

Li Wei understood; this might be a crab with true pure-blooded dragon blood...

That's why it likes gold coins!

Of course, this was just his wild guess.

Even though level-five extraordinary creatures like the giant blue crab cannot speak, their intelligence is almost on par with that of humans.

Therefore, it's understandable that people have different personalities, hobbies, and a liking for gold coins.

Who doesn't like money?

Li Wei was secretly delighted, having exchanged a pile of completely useless ordinary gold for a crafting material that was close to level five.

The big blue crab still looked like it was getting a free ride, completely unaware that it had been tricked.

"If you have anything else you don't need, you can go to the Flying Scythe Beast Graveyard to trade with me."

After Li Wei finished speaking, he rearranged the magic array, left the battlefield, and returned to the cemetery.

The giant blue crab pondered for a moment, then led its minions on a cloud-like journey back to its lair.

Seeing that Li Wei was safe and sound, his men breathed a sigh of relief.

Through this battle, Li Wei gained a profound understanding of the fighting power of the Amethyst Clan.

This race is stronger than he imagined. Therefore, their arrogance is indeed justified.

What impressed Li Wei the most was their fighting techniques, which were simple and unadorned, yet deadly in every move.

Moreover, the Amethyst Clan are incredibly brave and fearless. In a fight, they can instantly give up their lives, burning themselves to become the power of their teammates for that ultimate strike.

of course.

In this battle, Li Wei did not use his full strength.

He did not use his sorcery techniques.

Firstly, it was to disguise the dragon as a monster and avoid revealing too much of its power.

Secondly, he also wanted to test just how far his knightly skills had progressed.

He was very satisfied with the result.

It relies on Bloodborne's fourth transformation, Golden Serpent; Bloodborne's third transformation, Crimson Emperor Dragon; Scarlet Dragon; Sky Dragon; and Bloodborne's second transformation, Deathfire Dragon and Nightmare Dragon.

Even without using cheat-level abilities like the Six Paths God.

He could also overpower the Amethyst Clan, whose physical bodies were invincible across all planes!

Of course, it's still a ways off before it can be completely eradicated.

After activating the Six Paths Gods and fully opening their forms.

Even when the three members of the Amethyst Clan combined their powers and unleashed a strike powerful enough to severely injure an ordinary fifth-ring cultivator, it was blocked by the Celestial God.

Finally, the Amethyst Clan member burned himself, sacrificing his life to unleash a "Star Devouring" punch that even Li Wei found incredibly amazing!

If Lady Ghost, a five-ringed being, were to take that punch head-on, she would be instantly killed and reduced to ashes. Even Soret could not withstand it directly.

However, Li Wei also had some trump cards yet to be played.

He directly activated three special forms: Nightmare Descent, Wrathful Dragon Lord, and Giant Dragon Warrior!

At that moment, the Six Paths God transformed once again, advancing to the form of the Three-Headed Dragon God!

This is the second special form of the Six Paths God developed by Li Wei.

The first type is the [Heavenly God Soldier Terracotta Warrior], which was created by relying on the Seven Kings Hell Formation!

"Indeed, fighting against strong opponents is the best way to hone your combat skills. Sometimes, you can't unleash your full potential unless you push yourself."

Li Wei sighed, however, this approach conflicted with his own prudent way of life.

"Once we return from the ancient tower, we'll immediately begin developing the Nightmare World. Fighting in the Nightmare World will eliminate the fear of death and allow us to hone our combat skills!"

Even without those treasures, Li Wei has gained a great deal since entering the Dark Tower.

Here, he was able to engage with powerful alien races ahead of time, get to know his enemies, and more importantly... understand himself!

In Li Wei's view.

This is the significance of Sauron's creation of the Dark Tower; the tower is not merely for wizards to enter, but also reflects his profound intentions.

Sauron wanted to put wizards in this fierce arena to clash with naturally powerful alien races, so that they would realize the limitations and shortcomings of wizarding civilization, learn from these lessons, and promote the evolution of civilization.

Here, the order of the ancient tower does not favor any side; as long as the fishpond is not blown up, people are free to kill.

In this way, the wizarding civilization can always remain humble and progressive, rather than stagnant and complacent.

Three years of fighting have seen countless so-called "genius wizards" perish here.

This undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to many wizarding organizations.

Li Wei suddenly realized something:

There are no such things as geniuses in this world, only the desire to become stronger!

Soren stood tall and saw far, which Li Wei greatly admired, and a sense of pride welled up within him!

"The wheel of fortune turns. If Sauron can claim the title of the strongest being across all planes, why can't I, Li Wei, do the same?"

He calmed down and carefully counted all the spoils dropped by the Amethyst Clan.

These guys have killed countless wizards. Now, it's all benefiting Levi.

However, most of these wizards were rogue wizards with no power or background, and they were quite poor.

Even so, Li Wei's reserves of Tai Shi reached as much as six million.

He said helplessly:

"I finally spent all my money before entering the ancient pagoda, but then it all came back to square one, and the more I spent, the more I had..."

Besides the Tai Shi, there are some wizarding knowledge that Li Wei does not possess, including spell models, apothecary knowledge, and artifact crafting skills.

There is even a fourth-circle magic array wizarding lineage called "Complete Explanation of Trap Arrays".

It contains many trap-type magic arrays that are not found in the Book of Cyphers.

Li Wei categorized all knowledge and incorporated it into his own knowledge base.

Then came some magical artifacts, some intact and some broken.

There are low-level and mid-level ones, and there's even a broken five-ringed witch artifact called the Azure Sky Secret Sword.

This is a cyan longsword, a wind-elemental magical weapon, which looks light and elegant, yet is extremely sharp.

This magical artifact can only function partially. It's unclear which rogue cultivator's heirloom it was; the hilt has become patina from all its use.

"Once I reach the fifth ring, I can use the Storm Sand to refine it again. Whether I use it myself or sell it for money, it's a good option."

The rest consisted of various bottles, jars, and boxes, mostly containing herbs, medicines, and rare materials.

These wizards are generally not very strong and their gains are not as great as those of wizarding organizations, but they have the advantage of having more people.

Li Wei put away these wizard relics and said:

"Don't worry, I won't let you die in vain. After I reach the fifth ring, I'll kill a few more members of the Amethyst Clan to avenge you!"

In addition, there was a pile of elemental metals of level three or higher in front of Li Wei, piled up like a small mountain.

These all burst out of the stomachs of the Amethyst Clan.

The Amethyst Clan feeds on rare metal ores. These are likely rare metals that they couldn't digest in time.

Earth element, wind element, fire element... you name it, they have it.

However, most of them are not high-level, only level three or four. There is one level five black gold fire ore, though.

Li Wei sighed:

"It's too small; it's not enough to reforge the Crimson Dragon Slayer Iron. Let's save it for now. Once we reach the fifth level and find more fire elemental metals, we can combine it with the remains of the Amethyst Clan to reforge the Crimson Dragon Slayer Iron!"

Just as he was about to collect all the ores, his eyes lit up and he discovered a blue ring sealed inside one of the translucent water element ores.

He took the ring out.

"Song of the Sea, Ring of Heidi".

He opened it with a murmur.

A pile of colorful silk robes, unused undergarments, and other similar items, with a faint, pleasant fragrance.

"There's another corpse... and I can sense that it practiced breathing techniques and was a Blood Awakening Knight in life."

This piqued Li Wei's interest, and he took out the body to examine it closely.

The corpse was dried up, devoid of any spirit or vitality.

This is generally the case when a wizard dies of old age.

"But judging from his bone structure and his features, he must have been a handsome man in life... In terms of looks, he was no less than me," Li Wei commented, touching his broad chin.

In the corner, there was a pile of neatly arranged knight's armor and knight's greatsword.

"These are all old relics, covered in scars. This knight must have been a brave and skilled warrior in his lifetime."

A yellowed letter floated out from the armor.

【Stranger, if you find my armor and longsword, please bury them in Sherrenburg, the Emerald Kingdom. I am destitute and have nothing left to offer in return. I sincerely wish you a peaceful life. — Snow Knight, Fryer】

After reading it, Li Wei remained silent, his mind unable to calm down for a long time.

"Of the seven legendary figures, you're the only one missing. Why didn't you wait for me... Never mind, never mind. I'll fulfill your last wish. Tulip Territory is also my hometown."

At this moment, Li Wei felt a sense of shared sorrow, like a rabbit mourning the death of a fox.

"However, your legendary name is at least still being passed down from generation to generation, which is much better than mine."

Li Wei took out a glass of Snow Beer and drank it across time and space, facing the dried corpse in front of him.

After the wine was finished, Li Wei carefully arranged the remains and belongings of the Snowflake Knight.

He said calmly, "The era of the old legendary knights has ended. May you all rest in peace. A new era will be ushered in by me, the ultimate knight!"

This witch must be quite powerful, as there are many good materials in her ring.

Among them, a heart as black as ink caught his attention.

"This is the heart of some kind of demon."

He summoned the Mind Flayer and asked, "Can you tell what it is?"

The Mind Flayer nodded and said, "Master, this is the heart of a level five Night Demon. Night Demons are a large race in the Abyss, with many powerful Night Demons serving as lords in various levels."

"Understood. Let's keep mining. Dig deep in this canyon, we're bound to find some ore," Li Wei said.

"OK!"

Now, apart from the undead guarding the magic circle and patrolling, there are only...

Li Wei's other men were all mining in the Giant Axe Canyon. He, on the other hand, was a hands-off manager, acting like a typical coal boss.

"The Night Demon's Heart must be used to brew some kind of potion."

The next moment, as if to confirm Li Wei's guess, he discovered an ancient potion recipe.

"The Night Demon's Eternal Darkness, a fifth-circle potion, requires a level 5 Night Demon Heart, a level 4 Eyebeast Heart, a level 4 Darkweed, and Black Dew... After the potion is made, taking it will increase the crystallization success rate by about 15%."

Li Wei was pleasantly surprised after reading it.

Currently, his Five Rings Breakthrough Potion is still missing, so this formula and the Night Demon Heart are undoubtedly a godsend.

Increasing the success rate by about 15% is already at a level above the second tier among five-ring breakthrough potions.

Even the best breakthrough potion only increases the success rate by about 20%.

Li Wei thought to himself, "It would be best if I could get a ready-made five-ring potion next, but if not, I can ask someone to make one."

The Witch's House is skilled in medicine making, so there must be a fifth-ring apothecary in the party. Just have Ania act as an intermediary to contact a reliable apothecary for you.

Besides these, the ring contained some worthless magical artifacts and relatively common oceanic spells. None of these caught Li Wei's eye, but in a corner, he noticed a carefully sealed box.

To prevent things like mimics from opening, he activated a protective field and opened the chest.

An old, moldy black book appeared before my eyes.

Li Wei stared at the bloody characters above.

"The Hades Codex...that sounds rather sinister."

Li Wei looked at the introduction on the title page.

[Let me say it one last time: life is about to accelerate — Anonymous]

"What the hell?"

Li Wei ignored these pretentious words and glanced at the book's introduction.

After reading it, his heart raced and he became somewhat agitated, but he managed to calm himself down.

"This is a forbidden method!"

He closed the book immediately without even looking at the main text, afraid that he might subconsciously memorize the incantation and then lose control of himself to study it.

He wasn't exaggerating; this is a forbidden book!

The content inside is incredibly tempting; those with weak willpower will definitely try to learn and use it.

Li Wei believed in his own will, but he felt it was better not to look; out of sight, out of mind!

These secret techniques possess powerful abilities, but they also have extremely terrifying side effects. The common side effect they all have is... a reduction in lifespan!

This goes against Li Wei's belief in immortality. With his talent and stats, he doesn't need these forbidden methods at all; he can gain power on his own, and he has better options!

Forbidden Method One: The Steps to Godhood.

This method once circulated in the Endless Sea. A certain leader of dark wizards, the Mad Wizard Pucci, comprehended this secret technique through a great wizard's Mark of Truth. (See Chapter 172 for details)

This secret method is known as the "method to become a god." After practicing it, progress is rapid, and one can eventually become a god!

The wizard Pucci was said to be of mediocre talent, yet he became a fifth-circle wizard at the age of four hundred, and he encouraged others to learn this secret art.

However, this secret method has a terrible side effect: it can drive a wizard into a state of "madness," making them unable to distinguish between reality and illusion. Not only will they talk nonsense, but they will also frequently attack others indiscriminately.

However, Pucci the wizard was soon arrested and died of old age in prison less than six months later.

This leads to the second function of this secret method.

That is, the faster one progresses using this secret method, the shorter their lifespan. The most absurd case is that one second they've just broken through, and the next they're dead…

Besides the "Stage to Godhood", there is another secret technique with severe side effects, the "Nine Deaths Secret Technique"!

By sacrificing one's lifespan to a great being, one gains an increase in power.

The amount of lifespan sacrificed is not fixed, but is determined by various factors such as the sacrificer's realm, race, number of great beings, and the amount of power desired.

A maximum of nine great beings can be sacrificed at the same time.

At this point, the user's life will come to an end, and they may even incur a lifespan debt that an innocent person in the next life will have to repay...

Li Wei calculated that, not to mention humans who are short-lived, even the vast majority of long-lived species whose lifespans are several times that of humans.

For example, vampires, dragons, elves, and amethysts cannot use it frequently.

Moreover, this method of sacrifice consumes all your life force until death, at most raising your cultivation level by one major realm, which is not worth the effort.

Of course, if you encounter a life-or-death crisis, you can try using it.

However, given Li Wei's personality, such a fatal crisis is practically impossible for him to encounter.

If it really happens, it can't be solved by simply raising your cultivation level by one major step.

That's why he decided to seal the book away.

This book might be suitable for a race with lifespans so long as to be almost immortal.

For example, Grius, a primordial deity who lived as long as heaven and earth and shone as brightly as the sun and moon in the Red Cosmic Plane.

Besides, for other races, once they start using it, there's no going back; it's like gambling.

The problem is that beings like Grius might be on the same level as those so-called "great beings," and they wouldn't care about the power they grant.

"It's a waste of money."

Li Wei shook his head.

The manual contained other methods, which were probably no better. He didn't continue reading.

He forgot about the "Secret Codex of Hades," focusing wholeheartedly on his practice, awaiting the birth of the wondrous object of truth.

……

Three months later.

Inside the secret chamber, within the fire element enhancement array.

Li Wei had already used his Crimson Emperor Dragon Flame to fuse all the remains of the Amethyst Clan together.

"It's not good to always fight unarmed while playing as a dragon monstrous creature. Let's make a weapon suitable for dragon monstrous creatures."

Firstly, the Crimson Dragon Iron-Slaying Sword would easily expose my identity, and secondly, its quality is poor; it was injured last time and needs to be nurtured.

Li Wei will not be used until he is recast.

These remains of the Amethyst Clan are the best material for forging weapons. All you need to do is melt them down, add some auxiliary materials, and shape them into whatever you like.

For dragons, fancy features are unnecessary.

In short, tough!

Time flies.

Another month has passed.

Inside the secret chamber, Li Wei's weapon had been completely forged.

A purple spiked club, over ten feet long, appeared.

The head of the mace is the head of a ferocious giant dragon.

"This is the divine weapon that suits my current status."

Li Wei held the spiked club and swung it casually, creating a strong wind that made the magic array tremble.

He arrived at Giant Axe Canyon and stretched his two-story-high dragon body, doing warm-up exercises.

Then, he tensed his muscles, gathered his strength, and his scales exploded, with black flames of blood energy forming a monstrous dragon that coiled around the spiked club!

A swing of the bat!

Black flames poured out, penetrating deeper and deeper into one side of the canyon!

The mountain split open, forming a ravine a kilometer deep, with black flames clinging to it.

This scene resembles a world destroyed by a demon god.

Li Wei was overjoyed; the spiked club felt surprisingly comfortable to use. Just like his longsword, it felt completely natural and effortless to wield.

It was as if he, this dragon-like creature, was born to wield a spiked club as a sorcerer's weapon.

"If the Six Paths God were to use this spiked club, he could probably kill a Fifth Ring Wizard."

Li Wei was very satisfied.

"This staff needs a name. Before the Crimson Dragon Iron Cutter was reforged, this was my main weapon, so let's call it the Black Dragon Staff."

Now that he had the weapon, Li Wei devoted himself to cultivation and continued to be the hidden boss of the [Giant Axe Canyon] dungeon.

……

In the blink of an eye, the New Year has arrived.

The year 1169 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Moon.

Dark Tower Year 4.

At the 68th roundtable meeting, Li Wei learned that another new member had broken through to the Blood Awakening Knight level.

This new member is named Il, and his title is [Feather Knight].

It comes from the Dragonhawk family, a high-ranking noble family in the Molten Kingdom.

The ancestral breathing method is the top-quality "Dragon Eagle Breathing Method," a power-type breathing method.

The dragon eagle is a legendary divine bird of immense strength. Its name contains the word "dragon" because the giant eagle is so strong that it can fight dragons, but it does not have dragon blood.

In addition, the speed attribute of the Dragonhawk Breathing Technique is also quite outstanding. This is similar to the Maiah Breathing Technique. The Maiah Breathing Technique is an endurance-based breathing technique, but its speed attribute is not bad either.

Eagles are incredibly perfect creatures, killing machines in the air, with no obvious weaknesses.

With this, the Twilight Knights now have fourteen official members, leaving only four spots available.

During Li Wei's absence, all the team members have been quietly getting stronger.

At the end of last year, the Blood Knight forged his own divine weapon, the Wind and Moon Divine Sword, and entered the Blood Source Second Transformation realm.

With his improved cultivation level, the addition of a divine weapon, his innate talent mark, and powerful combat skills, his strength is now comparable to that of a senior wizard of the third ring.

Hogger, a knight who had no talent for wizardry but focused on the way of chivalry, went through many hardships and finally found the materials for a divine weapon, which he forged for himself and named the Ash Greatsword.

Seeing that the Blood Knights and Hogger Knights' divine weapons had been created, the Black Knights were extremely envious and immediately began searching for materials to forge their own divine weapons.

The Thousand Illusion Knight was overjoyed to have successfully reached the level of a Level Two Knight. Although the Goddess Knight was still far from reaching the Level Three, she had already begun preparing for her advancement to Level Three Wizard, taking precautions in advance.

Even Emperor Mu, through constant drug use, has advanced his wizarding cultivation to the second ring.

The younger generation, such as Silver Dragon, Dark Moon, and Long Halberd, have also made progress.

The Combat Techniques and Imprints Research Committee is growing rapidly, and its research pace is accelerating.

The Giant Beast Paradise and the Ancient Dragon Empire are both progressing steadily.

The entire Ancient Saint Plane has not developed rapidly; its main feature is "stability"!

This time, the Knight of Flowers also attended the meeting.

Li Wei learned that the Knight of Flowers had successfully entered the seventh level.

Soret also joined the group of Soul Wizards from the Letney family.

Whether they can seize the artifact of truth now depends on their fate.

Li Wei continued to emphasize: Life comes first, rare treasures second!

After the meeting.

Li Wei returned to his life of spiritual practice.

During this time, he could feel that the third level was becoming increasingly calm.

The Dark Tower expands in size as you ascend. The third level, comparatively, isn't particularly vast; with so many wizards and alien races exploring it, the resource points have likely already been divided up. A definite power structure has been established. Those with the strength to move upwards have already left the third level.

The fifth level is the "dreamland" for most non-Elemental Soul Wizards!

As for the Amethyst Clan, after the deaths of those four, no one came to seek revenge, presumably because everyone else had already entered the fourth level or above.

Among the many alien races in the ancient tower, the vast majority are weaker than wizards in individual strength.

Those with an average score higher than the wizards are the Amethyst Clan, the Dragonborn, another Ancient Tomb Clan, and the wizards are about equal in ability.

However, their numbers are far fewer than those of the wizards.

Overall, this ancient tower was still the domain of wizards.

Meanwhile, stories about the "Three-Headed Dragon Demon" began to circulate in small circles across different dimensions.

Some say that this dragon is the son of the Evil Dragon Venerable, which is why he was able to fight three against one and suppress the Amethyst Clan.

The Evil Dragon Venerable has not come out to refute this rumor!

……

Time flies, and half a year has passed.

Li Wei's mental strength steadily improved, and one star after another was lit up.

The four-ring protective force field and the ground explosion barrier have reached the tenth level.

As for the fourth talent, Thunder Dragon Flash, Li Wei had already trained it to the eleventh level limit, making it incredibly fast when flying.

Even without using knightly methods, without entering the Crimson Dark Side.

Relying on the normal flight speed of the Thunder Dragon Flash, and with the blessing of the Chariot Rune, he also surpassed most ordinary fifth-ring wizards, greatly enhancing his ability to survive.

In addition, Wind Dragon Swiftness has been upgraded to the tenth rank, while Ice Dragon Prison has reached the ninth rank.

However, the Fiery Sun Strike and Thunder Hound have already reached their limits.

He has also cultivated the Gargoyle Body Refining Technique to the level of a third-ring Body Refining Wizard. It's only a matter of time before he catches up with the Deep Blue Body Refining Technique.

As for the knights, after reaching level sixteen with the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique, their secret medicines began to run out, and they were about to run out of supplies.

Once he obtains the artifact of truth, Livy must leave this place.

The primary task is to find a hybrid dragon race that combines water and earth elements.

On this day, Li Wei suddenly sensed that there was some noise coming from outside.

He hurriedly came out of his secluded place, only to find a giant black bird soaring high in the sky, emitting a clear cry.

Its belly feathers are fiery red, radiating a scorching heat.

"This is... the Crimson Netherworld Sparrow? You little brat, you've turned from a sparrow into a phoenix. It seems that only in the face of life and death can your potential be unleashed."

To avoid being stewed, the Crimson Netherworld Sparrow risked its life, unleashing all its bloodline potential, and finally broke through to level four!

The Crimson Netherworld Sparrow descended from the sky, its body miraculously shrinking as it went, eventually transforming into a tiny sparrow that landed on Li Wei's shoulder, completely inconspicuous.

"Being able to grow big or small, it seems this is a new skill you learned after reaching level four?" Li Wei asked.

The Crimson Netherworld Sparrow nodded.

On the other shoulder, the bluebird curiously examined the Crimson Netherworld Sparrow.

Before Li Wei could be happy for long, he discovered that the aura of the sickle weasel within the magic array had begun to clash restlessly.

In the sky, wind and clouds gathered, and dense wind elemental power flowed towards the Flying Scythe Beast Graveyard.

This aura is comparable to a low-end version of condensing a primordial spirit.

This is a sign that the wondrous object of truth is about to be born!

"Haha, today is a good day! All my wishes will come true. It's double happiness!"

Li Wei hummed a song, feeling indescribably cheerful.

The Crimson Netherworld Sparrow breaks through to level four, and the wondrous artifact of truth is about to be born.

My three-year career as a dungeon boss is about to end!

Li Wei ordered all his men to guard the canyon to prevent others from causing trouble.

He sat upright in the cemetery, holding a spiked club, personally protecting the birth of the wondrous object of truth!

Rumble!

The wind elements converged to form a tornado.

The weasel opened its small mouth, and countless wind elemental forces were sucked in by the storm!

I don't know how long it lasted.

The figure of the Weasel Breath solidified completely, its wings flapping as it soared into the sky, looking no different from an ordinary flying sickle beast.

Once it gained strength, it tried to escape, but unfortunately, Li Wei had already laid a trap.

He will reach out his large hand and grab the Weasel Breath that is darting around in the magic circle.

"There's no time to lose. Let's refine it now before setting off, lest things get complicated."

Having the experience of refining the [Water Dragon's Roar], refining the [Kamaitachi's Breath] was a piece of cake for him.

After that, Li Wei successfully prepared all the advanced potions for the Death Dragon Breathing Technique and began to digest them using the Blood Refining Method.

Time flies, and a month has passed.

The month of harvest in the year 1169 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

About one-third of the Weasel's Breath has been refined, and it is estimated that it will take another two months to completely refine it.

this day.

Inside the secret chamber, the Dead Dragon Potion within Li Wei's body was completely digested.

He looked inward and saw the Golden Serpent, the Crimson Emperor, the sky, and the Scarlet Divine Palace. Then, another divine palace appeared between the Golden Serpent and the Crimson Emperor.

Death Shrine!

Inside the shrine, all was ashes, exuding a sense of deathly desolation and ruin.

But in the center of the ashes, in the still-burning embers.

A jet-black egg is incubating inside, as if something is being nurtured within it.

Li Wei could feel the powerful life force reviving within the egg.

It stood in stark contrast to the desolate and dilapidated surroundings.

"Come out."

He murmured, as if calling for the child's father.

The next moment, accompanied by a clear and distinct dragon roar.

The eggshell cracked.

A long, giant dragon covered in immortal black feathers and wreathed in black flames flew out.

It flew around the Palace of Death and Ashes, its tail feathers trailing long, like a phoenix.

Li Wei opened his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, black blood energy surged, and a breathtaking scene appeared behind him:

Amidst the thick ashes, a massive, charred tree stands tall.

At the top of the giant tree, a black-feathered dragon descended from the sky, its voice clear and distinct.

At this moment, Li Wei had already decided on the name for the Dharma Image.

"The Dragon Reborn!"
