Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 318 Harvesting Soul Weapons! The Dragon Palace Established! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The year 1196 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Moon.

Dark Tower Year 31.

Li Wei is 206 years old.

A secluded island overseas, far from the hustle and bustle of the world.

The Holy Infant was already waiting there. Upon seeing this, Li Wei smiled and said, "Not bad, buy one get one free. One person gets five rings, so two people benefit."

He took stock of everything, including Sorkins, Pixar, Mind Flayer, and Alchemist Eagle.

Their side now has six level-five combatants.

The Holy Infant clone handed Li Wei a large handful of refined divine talismans, as well as other rare materials he had obtained during this time, including the Blue Moon Flame Ore.

Li Wei left the Holy Infant clone here temporarily. The Mind-Stealing Demon had already reached level five and had even become a high-ranking member of the Demon Clan, so it no longer needed the Holy Infant's assistance.

Li Wei opened the proficiency panel and found that his talisman-making skill was still far from reaching level four.

"Take it slow. The third-tier weapon should be enough. After I refine the divine weapon I have, I'll go capture the three earthquake dragons, refine the artifact of truth, and then launch a surprise attack to take away the Thunder Elemental Spirit from the Tribunal."

After a brief exchange of blows with the Thunder God, Li Wei realized that this man definitely possessed the strength of a fifth-ring expert, no weaker than Soret.

Another reason Li Wei was wary of his opponent was his identity. He was a disciple of the sixth-level powerhouse, the Thunder King.

If pushed to the brink, with the level-six divine talisman bestowed upon him by the Thunder King protecting him, he would surely die without a burial place.

Of course, based on the information he currently has, even a Dharma King wouldn't have many level six divine talismans, since they require level six animal hides and various rare materials, and the success rate is very low.

But it's better to be safe than sorry; you should always think of the worst-case scenario.

"Go ahead and keep crafting talismans. From now on, my path of divine talismans will depend on you. This will be my unique trump card when facing other wizards."

Li Wei sent the Holy Infant away.

He took out the Blue Moon Flame ore and let Phoenix go back to his old job of tending fires.

"Work hard, and I'll find you a wife in a while... Although elemental spirits can't reproduce, it's always good to have a companion."

Phoenix sneered inwardly, "He's giving me empty promises again. What a jerk. He was trying to hand me over to someone else back then."

Despite the scolding, it still obediently went to start the fire.

Birds under the eaves have no choice but to bow their heads.

Today is the 95th roundtable meeting of the Twilight Knights.

Li Wei entered, and the other members followed.

It's still the same eighteen people as before. In Li Wei's view, unless some real knight geniuses emerge later, it will be difficult to change the current situation.

"Greetings, Commander."

Hello everyone.

The Golden Lion Knight said, "Unbeknownst to us, it's been 31 years since you left, Commander. I wonder when this Dark Tower will end?"

Li Wei said, "I'm not entirely sure either. Judging from the current situation, maybe only half of it has passed."

Dinos laughed and said, "I see. We now have nearly thirty first-class knights. By the time you return, there may be more than a hundred."

Li Wei said, "Very good, this is just the beginning. In the future, the Temple's recruitment standards will also need to be raised accordingly. We don't need too many people, just a group of true elites."

The Black Knight said, "The Knights of Middle-earth now have nearly ten first-class knights. In addition, a few days ago, we found a wizard with a second special talent, who will be sent to headquarters for further training."

"Good. How is the situation in the human world lately?" Li Wei asked.

The Blood Knight said, "The Black Dragon Empire's vanguard has already clashed with the Storm Church. Saint Gurado single-handedly fought against three level-six cave wizards and held his own. In addition, some time ago, it was suspected that a council member's elemental spirit wizard was fighting against alien powerhouses in the mortal realm. The mortal realm will become even more turbulent in the future."

Li Wei's expression was grave. He said, "In that case, we need to be even more careful. We'll discuss everything when I get back."

"clear."

The meeting is adjourned.

After having a private chat with the Knight of Flowers about the situation on the seventh floor, Li Wei returned to his normal training routine.

According to the tracking marks he left behind, it was discovered that the three earthquake dragons had indeed returned to their lair.

"Three earthquake dragons: one for me, one for the Holy Infant, and one for Phoenix riding the Hastir Eagle. Perfect."

One advantage of this fifth level is that you won't be projected unless you fight other participants.

Li Wei estimated that one would have to fight against a native at the level of a perfect fifth ring to be qualified for projection, and such beings were few and far between.

……

west coast.

Deep Blue Organization.

The Witch's House compound.

Aenea opened her eyes and was greeted by Sera's face.

"Captain, how long have I been asleep?"

"Not long, a month."

"Why did I suddenly faint?"

"Perhaps your willpower has reached its limit. After all, even with my perfected fourth-ring mental strength, I'm almost numb after enduring inhuman torture for a month."

"No... I feel like someone used mental energy to knock me unconscious. What happened that day? Please tell me."

Sera then recounted the events of that day to Aenea.

"Gandalf the White Wizard, a fifth-ring wizard, with immense strength?" Aonia murmured.

Sera nodded, sighing, "Gandalf was incredibly powerful. He shattered the white jade pillar that was suppressing us with a single palm strike, then sent that level-five lightning elemental flying with another, and even clashed head-on with the Thunder Mage, holding his own before escaping unscathed. He rescued dozens of rogue wizards imprisoned by the Inquisition, yet no one knows his origins. Some say he was an anonymous, unknown rogue fifth-ring cultivator who happened to pass by and, seeing injustice, intervened. Others say he was a native mage of the Kane Empire, but his beliefs clashed with the Church, which is why he deliberately targeted it. In any case, without him, we might not have escaped alive."

Upon hearing this, Ania felt a pang of longing and said, "Ah, such a strong person is the goal I strive for. To be able to do as one pleases and come and go as one pleases. Once my injuries heal, I also want to break through to the fifth ring as soon as possible."

Sera said, "That's right. Even if you're no match for a monster like Simon after reaching the fifth ring, escaping won't be a problem."

Aeneas said, "This fifth level, the fifth ring, is a watershed. Looking across the vast continent of Aion, native beings above the sixth ring are extremely rare and rarely make a move, while those below the fifth ring are as numerous as carp crossing a river..."

While the two were chatting, the Snow Lotus Witch walked in.

"Greetings, Lady Snow Lotus."

Aynia quickly stood up and said.

His feelings were complicated. He could have addressed her as "Your Excellency Snow Lotus" before, but now that she was a high-ranking official, it was more appropriate to address her as "Sir" out of politeness.

The Snow Lotus Witch told Aonia to continue lying down, saying, "No need for formalities, focus on recovering. Do you know Gandalf, the wizard from that day?"

Aenea and Sera both shook their heads.

The Snow Lotus Witch said, "I understand. I've reported the situation regarding the Dead Soul Jujube Tree to the Commander-in-Chief. Simon taking it is unavoidable, so you don't need to blame yourselves too much. Also, Samantha and Amy will be punished by the organization. We won't tolerate those who betray their teammates. Ania, you used some valuable trump cards, and the organization will compensate you for that."

"Thank you, Lady Snow Lotus," Aonia said.

Both his and Sera's storage rings were looted by the enemy, including a fifth-ring witch artifact given to them by their mother, as well as a considerable amount of cultivation resources.

This is a huge loss, and the organization's compensation can only make up for part of it.

Thinking about this gave him a headache.

Fortunately, his true trump cards were hidden directly inside his body by his mother; otherwise, he would have suffered an even greater loss.

the other side.

The Snow Lotus Witch arrived at the mansion of the chief commander of the Witch's House.

Six fifth-ring wizards are already waiting here.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting."

The commander-in-chief was an old woman who had reached the fifth level of cultivation and her spiritual power had reached its limit, but she did not have the courage to take the final step.

The Yuanhun Barrier is a true test of life and death. Once you pass through it, the road ahead is smooth... but if you fail, only a very lucky few will survive.

After all, besides the impact of the success rate, to completely purify one's primordial spirit, one still needs to overcome some calamities that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

The commander-in-chief said, "Simon of the Nine Cities Alliance stole the Dead Soul Jujube Tree that should have belonged to us. We will get our revenge sooner or later. However, the Nine Cities Alliance is currently at its peak. The Deep Blue Organization's strategy is to avoid confrontation for now and wait for the right opportunity. Ideally, we should let the Nine Cities Alliance and the alien race fight each other, and then we can reap the benefits."

"That makes sense. The Million Mountains where the Amethyst Holy Land is located aren't too far from the Sacred Flame Plateau of the Nine Cities Alliance. Sooner or later, the territories of these two organizations will border each other, and then conflict will inevitably break out!"

……

The confluence of two points, the sacred flame plateau.

This is the closest point on the continent of Io to the sun.

The intense power of heavenly fire illuminated this place.

Let this place become a sacred place for the wizards of the Nine Cities Alliance to cultivate.

The plateau covers a vast area, second only to the Million Mountains in the area where the mountains meet.

The Nine Cities Alliance found many artifacts of truth here, although most of them were of earth quality.

In the center of the plateau, a crimson city, approximately three kilometers in diameter, floats high in the sky. Its name is: [Skyfire Fortress]!

This city of witches was not built by piling things up, but rather was a single, unified whole.

This fortress-shaped witch city is itself a rare treasure.

Rare treasures are wizarding artifacts that are difficult to classify into levels like magical artifacts.

For example, the [Tea Table], [Sword of Oath], and [Mirror of True Knowledge] that Li Wei obtained are rare treasures.

This Witch City was created by the Nine Cities Alliance by pooling the power of the nine cities, with each city sending a Yuanhun-level weapon craftsman to refine it using the shell of a seventh-level giant tortoise.

It is said that the giant tortoise was named Antu, with a diameter of a thousand meters. It had lived for more than 50,000 years. From an insignificant little tortoise, it had finally become a level seven ruler of a medium-sized plane, but was eventually killed.

Bringing in the Skyfire Fortress demonstrates the importance the Nine Cities Alliance places on the opening of the Dark Tower.

Skyfire Fortress itself is a large treasure that gathers the power of the fire element.

Those who cultivate here are naturally all elites.

To prevent the Skyfire Fortress from being lost inside the ancient tower, a Soul Wizard is stationed in the city to control this treasure.

However, due to the rules of the ancient tower, this Yuanhun Wizard could not take action and could only serve as a strategic nuclear deterrent.

In fact, some large schools of thought also have primordial spirits hidden within them, mainly to prevent their members from being wiped out by level six native powerhouses, which would be a great loss.

Inside the city.

Simon made his triumphant return amidst cheers from the crowd.

The phantom of the Vulcan behind him directly airlifted the cult's treasury.

The law enforcement officers of the Nine Cities Alliance rushed to greet them.

With the help of some shills planted by Simon, it has become widely known throughout the city that he single-handedly defeated an army of the Witch's House.

"That's incredible! No wonder he's the Flame Dragon Slayer! The Ocean School is just a bunch of rotten fish!"

"Exactly, our School of Combustion's move is like a dimensional reduction attack. However, those witches are so beautiful, it's a pity that Lord Simon ruthlessly destroyed them."

The Blood Demon Tower Master, as the city's law enforcement captain responsible for maintaining order, looked at Simon, whom everyone revered, with a cheerful expression but inward disdain: "Just a bunch of children playing house. But these Dead Soul Dates are quite good, it's just a pity they belong to the public..."

The Blood Demon Tower Master's eyes darted around, his mind racing. His professional habits as a dark wizard kicked in, making him want to take him down.

"No, I've already obtained the Cicada's Cry, I can't afford to cause any more trouble!" he warned himself.

But the greed within him whispered in his ear like a demon.

"Sigh, I still can't break my old habits."

……

Three months have passed in a flash.

During this time, while Phoenix was burning iron, Levi was busy refining a magic array.

This magic array is the [Earth-Pit Prison Array] obtained from the witch Mary.

He incorporated his own ideas and knowledge into the design of the Mary Sorcerer's circle, making some modifications.

In this way, the control effect of the magic circle will be even more powerful.

Because it didn't require re-refining, Li Wei completed the modification in three months.

He opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei——————

Magic Array: Tier 8 (Five Rings): (1/100,000).

……

Upon becoming a Fifth Ring Magic Array Wizard, Li Wei was in high spirits and remarked, "Of the three wizarding arts, the magic array consumes the most of my energy, resources, and wealth. However, my ability to cross realms and kill Fifth Ring Wizards during my Fourth Ring period was also inseparable from the help of the magic array."

Next, he will use the Earthquake Prison Array he created to capture the three earthquake dragons!

a few days later.

Phoenix has also completed the refining of Blue Moon Flame Ore.

Li Wei patted Phoenix on the head and laughed, "Your achievements today are inseparable from my great support. You must learn to be grateful and repay me in the future, understand?"

Phoenix: "..."

After giving Phoenix a half-day off, Li Wei began reforging the Crimson Dragon Iron.

"I have incorporated several types of level-five fire elemental metals, as well as other rare materials, into this divine weapon. Once it is forged, it should last me a long time."

He kept moving, hammering the Crimson Dragon Iron repeatedly, pouring the blue molten iron into it.

A month later, the brand-new Crimson Dragon Iron appeared.

It still had a crimson blade, but now it emitted a faint blue glow.

"It's said that this Blue Moon Flame Iron contains a unique type of flame. I'll test its power."

Li Wei, wielding the Crimson Dragon Iron Blade, arrived on the sea and unleashed a strike with the Heavenly Dragon Sword Manual!

at the same time.

The crimson dragon flames in the true form of the Flame Dragon, the void black flames in the Undying Armor, and the pale blue exotic flames contained in the Crimson Dragon Iron Cutter merge together, the three fire dragons merging, rotating, and wrapping around the crimson dragon-shaped sword aura!

boom!

The sword energy swept past, carrying the three fire dragons far away where they exploded!

The red, blue, and black hues merged and eventually transformed into a deep blue mushroom cloud of flames that rose into the sky.

Seawater evaporates, and clouds and mist fill the air!

"291 cards... Its power is actually stronger than my Fire Dragon Calamity. Calling this move 'Twin Dragons Playing with a Pearl' is not appropriate. Let's just call it 'Three Dragons Flame Kill' instead."

Li Wei discovered that the more flames fused together, and the higher their level, the stronger the explosion.

"The three Earthquake Dragon brothers are still in the ruins. Let's go and subdue them first, lest things get complicated."

Levi left Soggins and Pix to guard the house, and took Phoenix and the Alchemist Eagle with him before leaving.

The Holy Infant clone also stopped making talismans and was swallowed by Li Wei.

The ruins that require a team of three Ice Wizards to explore can now be explored by Levi alone!

……

a few days later.

Using the Crimson Dark Side, Li Wei quickly arrived at the ruins of the Blood Mystery Master.

He opened his mouth and spat out the holy infant. After the holy infant landed, a ball of secret fire surrounded its body, ready to fight at any time.

Li Wei placed the alchemical giant eagle on the ground and patted Phoenix on the shoulder of the Holy Infant.

"Now it's time to test your driving skills."

Phoenix silently entered the giant eagle's body. Soon, the giant eagle began to roar, and flames spread across its hurricane-swirling wings.

"That's great. If every level 5 alchemical creature I create in the future has a level 5 elemental spirit pilot, its power will surely be even greater. The most suitable alchemical creature for Phoenix is ​​actually the three-fire god model."

Li Wei wondered if he could gather all twelve divine alchemical creatures, combine them with twelve elemental spirits, and after training, eventually merge them into the ultimate "Nick God" form. He wondered if he could contend with a level six Yuanhun Wizard.

He was really looking forward to this day.

After preparing, Levi stepped into the valley, followed by the Holy Infant and Phoenix.

In the valley.

The black beasts continued to roam, and Levi didn't make a move. Phoenix controlled the giant eagle, using wind blades to kill them all. Levi was responsible for picking up the scraps from behind.

Suddenly, Li Wei's sense of danger reacted.

"spread!"

He shouted, and both the Holy Infant and Phoenix dodged.

A black vortex appeared in mid-air ahead.

Meteorites rained down from the sky, along with all sorts of black beasts.

Rumble!

The earthquake trembled, and giant craters formed.

Li Wei erected a protective force field, gazing at the falling meteor shower ahead.

Even a fifth-ring wizard can be killed by falling rocks if they are not careful.

Not long after, the meteor shower stopped, and the black hole vortex slowly closed.

"This is the reason for the birth of the Convergence Ground. Just as the wizards guessed, the resources inside the ancient tower did not come out of thin air. Rather, the ancient tower absorbs resources from the outside world every moment. Whether it is the Dark Land or other planes, they are all targets of the ancient tower's exploitation. Therefore, except for the opening time, the ancient tower has been lingering in the Dark Land. After all, you can't just take advantage of one place. This is not in line with the way of sustainable development. And the opening time of once every ten thousand years should also be calculated by Sauron. This way, it can provide the wizarding world with a wave of resources and allow the ancient tower to recover well. Sauron's good intentions are evident." Li Wei sighed.

He sensed them and found that most of the black beasts were at the first or second level, but there were quite a few powerful ones among them.

For example, the giant black-haired boar lying on the ground right now, with a ferocious expression.

This giant boar was as big as a small mountain, with wings on its back and blood-red eyes; it looked like a dangerous creature.

"A level five black beast, perfect for testing my spell level after the fifth ring."

Li Wei sent the Holy Infant and Phoenix to deal with the minions, while he himself flew towards the giant boar.

The giant boar's bristles stood on end, clearly sensing that Li Wei was not someone to be trifled with.

Then, all these bristles burst forth, shattering rocks and toppling trees wherever they passed.

"Well done!"

Li Wei snapped his fingers, and a yellowish-brown dragon coiled around him.

These bristle arrows, comparable to attacks from ordinary fifth-ring wizards, collided with the earthen-yellow force field surrounding Li Wei.

Ping pong.

The vast majority of the mane was snapped off by the force of the impact. Only a few extremely tough ones managed to penetrate Li Wei's Earth Dragon Barrier defenses, but were easily blocked by the armor he was wearing.

"Next, it's my turn. Use your best moves now, or you'll miss your chance."

Li Wei flicked his finger, and a light blue dragon emerged from beneath the giant pig's feet, soaring into the sky and encircling it.

The giant boar was instantly immobilized, but having spent so long in the dark lands, it naturally possessed some extraordinary abilities.

It opened its enormous maw, and its already massive size swelled even more, resembling an inflated pufferfish.

The bristles on its body bristled and burst open, tearing the water dragon binding it.

"That's good, that's more interesting."

Li Wei was not surprised but delighted. He swiftly moved like a wind dragon, leaving his original position in an instant and soaring into the high sky.

A dark shadow swept past, lifting up the spot where he had been standing.

Rumble.

The giant pig, like a cannonball, smashed a deep crater into the earth.

It watched Li Wei fly into the sky, its round belly beginning to deflate.

At the same time, an air cannon emitting a dangerous aura was fired!

boom!

The air cannon was extremely fast. Li Wei used the Earth Dragon Barrier to block it. After the Earth Dragon Barrier shattered, the remaining force poured onto him.

He was blasted into the sky, and then his figure flickered and disappeared.

"Impressive power. I wonder how you will respond to my Fire Dragon Calamity attack?"

Li Wei was in a good mood, having finally found a worthy opponent.

With a flick of his finger, a crimson dragon descended from the sky and crashed into the spot where the giant pig was.

With a single blow, the giant boar's thick defenses were shattered, revealing black flesh and bones, as well as black worms covering its entire body.

These worms, which looked like leeches, were bloated and ugly, and were now being roasted by the flames and turned to ashes.

"This... I was just fighting against a giant pig corpse controlled by a bunch of insects?" Levi wondered.

After the giant pig's body shattered, all the worms surged out, gathered together, and transformed into a black line that shot into the sky and appeared in front of Li Wei, who immediately dodged it.

These worms kept surging and eventually transformed into a distorted human face.

"Foolish mortal, how dare you kill my apostle! You..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Before the man could finish speaking, Li Wei fired three consecutive Fire Dragon Calamities and threw out a bunch of divine talismans. The towering flames completely reduced the monster made up of worms to ashes, with not a single worm escaping unscathed.

"That guy just now seems to be a powerful being from the Dark Lands. Although he calls himself a god, he's definitely not a true god, but he should be at least level six. The Dark Lands are indeed full of danger and terror. Even a powerful level five black beast can be controlled by a bunch of worms. I must be careful when I travel between planes in the future."

Meanwhile, Phoenix and the Holy Infant had already finished their battle.

Li Wei originally intended to use the giant boar's hide as material for divine talismans, but after seeing the worm-like human face, he decided to cremate the entire giant boar carcass as a precaution.

The methods employed at level six and above are extremely difficult to defend against, and we must never let our guard down.

Just as Li Wei was about to leave, he discovered a perfectly intact ring in the ashes below.

"This is... a storage ring."

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei had the Holy Infant pick up the ring and open it.

Seeing that nothing had happened, he had the Holy Infant empty the contents of the ring.

A pile of Tai Shi stones whose elemental power was somewhat depleted.

Some relics of wizards whose spirits have dissipated, spellcasting materials, herbs, etc.

Some spell models based on the ocean faction, and a somewhat broken compass-like item.

In addition, there are some books, one of which is called "Fermont's Travel Journal".

Li Wei glanced through it and smiled.

"It's actually a relic of a Yuanhun Wizard from tens of thousands of years ago. I guess this Yuanhun Wizard died in the Dark Land, and his remains were devoured by a giant boar at some point. That giant boar was then controlled by that worm-like monster who called himself a god, and by chance, it was sucked into the ancient tower. In the end, the ring went through eighty-one tribulations and ended up in my hands. This shows how destined this item is for me."

This Elemental Wizard named Femon's greatest hobby was traveling between planes. He visited hundreds of planes, large and small, throughout his life, and recorded what he saw and heard in his diary.

Judging from his diary, his life was quite eventful.

He had seen all sorts of alien races, civilizations, and even some legendary creatures, such as dragons and powerful descendants of the phoenix.

He had even seen a real [Mountain-Carrying Black Whale], a peak level nine being, the legendary behemoth on the Black Mountain Duke family crest.

In his description, the black whale is gentle in nature, and there is indeed a civilized country on its back called the "Black Mountain Empire".

The inhabitants of the empire, like nomadic tribes, rely on giant whales to drift through multiple planes. They call the whales "Whale Lords," serve them, and in return, the whales provide them with shelter, forming a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship.

"The legends are true! I really want to see these legendary beasts with my own eyes... I need to cultivate my spiritual energy as soon as possible and begin my own journey!"

Li Wei suddenly remembered the Duke of Black Mountain, who dreamed of establishing the Black Mountain Empire; now, who knows how tall the grass on his grave is.

"This book is an extremely valuable treasure. When I advance to the Yuanhun realm and my Holy Infant Avatar travels to other planes, it will serve as a travel guide and an encyclopedia of other planes."

And that peculiar compass, called the [Fermont Astrolabe], is actually the Horcrux of the wizard Fermont!

A soul artifact primarily for defense and suppression. In addition, it allows one to travel through the dark lands using the star chart, which is much faster than physical flight and can significantly shorten travel time.

Simply input the coordinates of the plane on the star chart, and you can automatically travel to the destination. After filling the Tai Stone, the Yuan Soul-level protective array solidified on the star chart will also automatically protect the owner during the journey.

This horoscope is simply an essential tool for wizards traveling and exploring!

"It's a pity that this star chart is somewhat damaged. I'll see if I can repair it after I become a level six weapon crafter."

Li Wei inspected the items and placed the valuables in a jar filled with purifying agents, just in case.

As for the things that weren't worth much, he destroyed them all. These things weren't even as valuable as the purification potion.

"I came here to subdue the Earthquake Dragon, but I ended up with a Soul Weapon. Life is full of surprises. It must be because I saved those rogue cultivators. Good deeds are rewarded. Indeed, kind people are lucky..."

Thank you so much, senior Fremont, for your gift. I will definitely cherish your birth chart and continue to improve your travel diary, showing you even more expansive scenery across diverse dimensions!

Li Wei gave a brief thank you in the air and flew towards the depths of the valley.

Sauron Panplanet.

A place quite far from Nora.

A medium-sized, dark green plane rotates slowly here.

Passing through the crystal walls and the windstorm layer, we arrived in a dim, dark world.

The land was covered with endless miasma, poisonous fog, and swamps; there was no other scenery to be found.

In the swamp, there are primitive-looking humans, humanoid creatures, and other creatures, all wandering aimlessly like zombies, as if being controlled by someone.

At the bottom of the swamp, there is a magnificent stone palace.

A giant worm has piled its bloated body here, stretching endlessly. If it were fully stretched out, it would probably be over a thousand meters long.

Its ferocious mouthparts were sucking the corpse of a recently deceased juvenile sub-dragon, the Black Armored Dragon, and its body was becoming increasingly swollen.

Soon, the corpse turned into a dried-up corpse, and at the same time, countless leeches burrowed inside.

Before long, the corpse of the sub-dragon came to life and left the place.

"One of my clones has been destroyed... Foolish human, don't let me meet you in the dark lands."

He is the God of Leeches, the Blood Vortex Venerable, the Lord of the Black Swamp Plane, and also a general under the Worm Overlord!

If Li Wei were here, he might be reminded of distant memories.

Because its appearance is exactly the same as the [Vortex Beast] mentioned in the "Vortex Beast Breathing Method" that it practiced in its mortal era!

……

In the valley.

Li Wei met the three brothers, the Earthquake Dragon, again.

The three brothers, having forgotten the pain of their previous injury, were still soundly asleep in their lair, completely unaware that Li Wei had already been observing them from above using the invisibility rune.

He had already set up the magic array and was just waiting for the three brothers to enter the trap.

"Sub-dragon species generally have higher intelligence, so I'm afraid my old tricks won't work."

Li Wei hid himself next to the magic circle. He sent the Holy Infant to lure the monsters. The Earthquake Dragon had seen the Holy Infant before, so the Holy Infant's aggro should be higher.

Above the nest.

The Holy Infant descended from the sky amidst a crimson glow, directly followed by a fiery dragon.

When the three dragon brothers saw the Holy Infant, it was like enemies meeting, their eyes blazing with hatred.

Li Wei was also worried that they wouldn't take the bait.

In hindsight, he was overthinking it.

These three brothers were complete simpletons, and they ran wildly after the Holy Infant.

then.

With a rumbling sound, the earth collapsed, and a tremendous gravitational force pulled the three brothers into the pit.

"You three have done it twice! How come you never learn?"

Li Wei complained.

The three brothers were once again tricked and imprisoned, roaring angrily to the sky.

The giant hammer, resembling an ankylosaurus, swept across, sending shockwaves through the area and causing the magic array to tremble violently.

"Phoenix, Christ Child, charge!"

Phoenix rode the alchemical giant eagle, the fire fueled by the wind, growing ever stronger, its blazing breath pouring down, the intense heat spreading, entangling a seismic dragon!

The Holy Infant then used the Water Dragon's Roar to control one of them.

Li Wei used the Water Dragon Chant to control his most powerful elder brother.

He revealed his true form as a flaming dragon clad in black armor, and the Nightmare Helmet on his head emitted a mental shockwave!

The Earthquake Dragon's strength lies in its physical body; its mental power is certainly inferior to that of a Fifth Ring Wizard.

With just one strike, the Earthquake Dragon's head swayed unsteadily, as if it were drunk.

"Domain Expansion: Heavenly Net of Deception!"

In an instant, the entire pit fell within Li Wei's mental domain.

The three brothers were so engrossed in it that they couldn't extricate themselves.

Taking this opportunity, Phoenix and the Holy Infant unleashed a barrage of attacks.

Scorching flames, cutting wind blades.

The three brothers soon suffered head injuries and were bleeding profusely.

"This mental attack is really effective," Li Wei thought with delight.

The next moment, his expression changed, and he jumped up from the ground.

An invisible seismic wave came and completely reduced his magic array to dust!

The three brothers unleashed the power of the earthquake simultaneously, and the combined force was so great that even a seasoned wizard of the fifth ring would have to give way.

Phoenix was blasted high into the sky, and the Alchemist Eagle was already somewhat damaged, looking like it needed repair.

The Holy Infant's earth dragon barrier shattered, and at the critical moment, it transformed into a fire elemental body, reducing a large amount of damage.

"He actually broke free from my Heavenly Net of Deception."

Below, a powerful dragon's might swept across the three brothers.

Dragon's Might is an ability that only sub-dragon species can use.

Li Wei stood amidst the dragon's might, his expression unchanged.

This dragon's might is far inferior to his.

Li Wei closed his eyes, and the long-lost phantom of the three-headed dragon god began to appear.

"Next, I'll show you what true dragon might really is!"

The dragon god had three heads, roaring to the sky, and six arms outstretched, embracing heaven and earth!

In the sky behind it, six colossal dragons of different shapes emerged: the Crimson Emperor Dragon, the Sky Dragon, the Scarlet Dragon, the Nightmare Dragon, the Death Dragon, and the Golden Serpent...

These giant dragons, led by the Crimson Emperor Dragon, stand tall in the clouds, surrounding this land.

They are like the Four Heavenly Kings in the story of Havoc in Heaven, with heavenly soldiers and generals descending, creating an overwhelming sense of oppression!

"Same old rule: don't kill them, beat them until they submit!"

The Holy Infant, Phoenix, and Levi himself were responsible for using magic to restrain the three brothers.

The three-headed dragon god, imbued with supreme dragon might, descended from the sky, fighting against three opponents alone. His six-armed fists transformed into phantoms, smashing wildly at the three-headed dragon.

Boom boom boom!

How savage and violent this scene was!

After an unknown period of time, the earth was soaked in dragon blood, dragon scales were scattered, and the place was in complete disarray.

The three brothers had broken bones all over their bodies and their tails were severed; it was a gruesome sight.

"Submit to me," Li Wei said.

He was met with the roar of the three brothers and a yellow breath, which the three-headed dragon god slapped away!

"Pretty stubborn, huh?"

Li Wei hardened his heart and continued the beating!

Of course, he controlled the force very well.

The death of any one of them would cause Li Wei heartache for at least ten years!

"What's so great about this valley? Why don't you come with me and explore the outside world?"

Li Wei said.

The three brothers were on the verge of death. Li Wei ordered Phoenix and the others to stop their attack, and he also withdrew the Three-Headed Dragon God.

His face showed regret as he drew his Crimson Dragon Iron Sword, pointing it at the strongest of the three brothers.

"Sigh, don't be so stubborn. You don't want to just watch your brothers die, do you?"

Li Wei used his dragon-like might to suppress Li Wei while simultaneously threatening him with words.

He could tell that the three brothers had a very good relationship and were inseparable.

This is extremely rare among dragons.

The vast majority of dragons leave the nest after laying their eggs and don't care about their offspring at all.

It is commonplace for dragon cubs to kill each other.

Often, only the strongest survive.

Li Wei had plenty of patience, so he let the Holy Infant and Phoenix leave first.

Then he started rambling on and on, like Tang Sanzang chanting scriptures.

While chanting, he used the blood mist to stitch up the three brothers' wounds and apply medicine.

It can be described as a combination of soft and hard tactics.

A month later.

The three brothers, looking at Li Wei who was still muttering to himself, were completely convinced.

"Where are you taking us?"

A rough voice echoed in Li Wei's mind; it was the eldest brother in the middle.

"Go to a paradise that belongs only to the dragons. There, you will live a carefree life. With my protection, no one will dare to provoke you. Although I was a little too harsh... it was indeed for your own good," Li Wei said with a smile.

The eldest brother fell silent and began to communicate with the other two brothers.

Then, the elder brother's voice came: "We'll go with you, and we hope you can keep your promise."

"Come, come to me, and we dragons will be one family. I will build a harmonious world where all dragons live together in peace! And our organization will be called... Dragon Palace!"

"By joining us now, you will all become elders of the Dragon Palace. When I reach the pinnacle of the multiverse and reign supreme as the Dragon King, you will be revered by all races like gods!"

"The Dragon Palace?" the eldest brother murmured, pondering its meaning.

Li Wei said solemnly, "That's right. The dragon race is powerful but not united. They fight each other. They clearly possess godlike power, yet they are bullied by all sorts of weaker races. As the future Dragon King, I can't stand by and watch. I want to change this situation and protect you!"

Restoring the glory of the dragon race is our inescapable duty!

The three brothers were deeply shocked upon hearing this.

They seemed to see an organization with boundless light and a bright future rising up!

"Great Dragon King, we wish to join the Dragon Palace! May we ask which plane the Dragon Palace is located in, and how we can get there?"

A month later.

Li Wei led the three brothers to a remote island overseas, coughed, and said, "Our Dragon Palace is a newly established organization, and we are temporarily based here. But rest assured, it won't be long before the Dragon Palace's fame spreads throughout the world, and all under heaven belongs to the Dragon Realm!"
