Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 335 Lotus Blossoms in Thirty-Two, Crimson Emperor Dragon Armor, Red Lotus Purgatory! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe!)

of course.

Before embarking on a long journey, one must first prepare a sword.

After the Crimson Emperor Dragon reached level five, Li Wei clearly felt it.

His basic strength was much greater than before.

The Crimson Emperor Dragon Seed is like a small nuclear reactor; once ignited, it can unleash terrifying power.

Within his body, the vast power of the Crimson Emperor Dragon surged.

In the blink of an eye.

A majestic crimson palace was projected ten thousand meters into the sky.

The shrine radiated endless light and heat, like the sun, too bright to look directly at!

The intense heat distorted the sky, turning the clouds crimson.

The temperature of this land is rising visibly.

热!

heat!

In this sea area, all the sea creatures and fish were roasted belly up by the heatwave.

Keep in mind that they are tens of thousands of meters away from the shrine.

As the shrine's altitude decreased, the seawater began to evaporate rapidly.

By the time it reached a distance of one kilometer, the seawater below was already boiling.

boom!

The shrine fell on the sea.

The seawater, hundreds of meters deep, evaporated in an instant, revealing the charred seabed.

Within a radius of several miles.

The ocean has turned to scorched earth!

This is the power of the projection of the Crimson Emperor's Divine Palace.

It is far more powerful than the Golden Serpent Palace.

Li Wei put away the Crimson Emperor's Divine Palace and stopped damaging the local ecosystem.

He soared into the sky.

Countless flames erupted from his body, shooting skyward.

After the firelight disappeared.

A well-fitting, sharp crimson suit of armor appeared on his body.

The armor was made of magma-like flesh and scales, radiating scorching heat.

The flesh and blood of the armor were inextricably linked to every nerve of Li Wei within it.

The heart area of ​​the armor features a lotus-like pattern with thirty-two petals.

Thirty-one of the petals emitted a red glow, while one petal had already gone out.

"This seems to be an energy notification from the Crimson Emperor Dragon. When all thirty-two petals are extinguished, the armor will dissipate... As expected of the Crimson Emperor Dragon, it can actually do this."

The Bloodborne True Armor form is extremely powerful, but like the Divine Palace, it also consumes a huge amount of energy.

Li Wei soared freely through the sky, piloting the Crimson Emperor Dragon Armor and leaping over the clouds.

He gathered his strength in his right arm and threw a punch.

There are no fancy techniques, no dazzling and complicated spells, just pure power.

The raging crimson fist wind pierced through the clouds several miles ahead, revealing a huge hole, where faint traces of firelight could be seen on the cave walls before fading away.

He wielded the Crimson Dragon Iron Blade and wielded the Heavenly Dragon Sword Manual.

Using the Crimson Emperor Dragon Armor, he unleashed the Crimson Dragon Sword Qi.

The sword energy slashed out, like a crimson pillar of light, splitting the heavens and earth in two!

Amidst the rolling clouds, a reluctant parting.

Only a heatwave, caused by the high temperature, remained, distorting the air and lingering for a long time.

"The lingering power of the sword energy has lasted this long; with this final strike, all the suffering, sorrow, fear, and troubles of this world will vanish like smoke!"

Sheathed the longsword.

The right arm of the Crimson Emperor Dragon Armor suddenly swelled, thickened, and lengthened.

Then, the palm part transformed into a ferocious, enormous crimson dragon head.

boom!

Like a volcanic eruption, the breath of the Crimson Emperor Dragon burst forth!

Its breath stretched for five miles, creating a long river of fire high in the sky.

"The power of this attack is even stronger than the Fire Dragon Calamity, reaching half the level of the Nine Dragons Calamity. A surprise attack would be enough to instantly kill a senior fifth-ring wizard!"

at this time.

Li Wei discovered that four of the thirty-two lotus petals on his chest had gone out.

"Now, let's try out our real trump card."

The Golden Dragon Armor's ultimate move is the golden light from its horn, which destroys everything.

Li Wei later referred to it as:

"Golden Ray".

The Golden Ray is a single-target, concentrated attack that excels at breaking through areas by targeting specific points.

The Crimson Emperor Dragon Armor's ultimate move is exactly the opposite.

In the blink of an eye, Li Wei extinguished all twenty-four lotus petals.

Twenty-four crimson rays shot into the sky.

Beneath the crimson sky, countless flames and currents churned up the white clouds.

A giant red lotus, about 100 meters in diameter, fell from the sky.

The lotus has twenty-four petals, illuminating all directions!

Under the terrifying heat, even the surrounding void seemed to begin to distort and melt.

Under this distorting force, volcanoes, magma, blazing sun, fire dragons, fire gods... all sorts of fiery phenomena filled the heavens and earth.

And reigning supreme over these extraordinary phenomena is the invincible Crimson Emperor Dragon, which has dominated for eternity!

As the red lotus descended, the area within a five-mile radius was transformed into a fiery hell.

Even the energy in the peripheral areas is more powerful than most fifth-circle spells.

The deeper you go, the more terrifying the energy becomes.

Its central area is filled with an aura of destruction, as if just one glance is enough to make someone explode and sink into death!

Li Wei calls the Crimson Emperor Dragon Armor's ultimate move:

"Crimson Lotus Purgatory!"

Theoretically, at this stage, the strongest form of the Crimson Lotus Hell should be a thirty-two-petaled lotus.

However, this is not possible at this stage.

Because once the Crimson Emperor Dragon Armor is born, one of its lotus petals will automatically extinguish.

This should be the fixed energy required to materialize the mech itself.

"Perhaps, after reaching level six, the number of red lotus petals can be increased further," Li Wei murmured.

After the experiment was completed.

He summarized several uses of the Crimson Emperor Dragon Armor.

I. Increase strength.

II. Enhance defense.

III. The Crimson Emperor's Dragon Breath.

IV. Crimson Lotus Purgatory.

He couldn't help but sigh that the Crimson Emperor Dragon Armor was far superior to the Golden Emperor Dragon Armor.

This experiment involved the Crimson Emperor Dragon Armor.

He didn't hire a sparring partner this time, mainly because he was afraid of injuring the supernatural creature.

The Crimson Emperor Dragon is an absolute killing dragon; every move it makes is earth-shattering. So, it's fine for you to just beat the air and have some fun.

He opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei——————

Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique: 17th Rank (1/2 million), Special Effects: Fiery Dragon True Form (Level 5); Bloodline Dharma Image: Crimson Emperor Burning Heaven; Blood Source True Armor: Crimson Emperor Dragon Armor. Exclusive Weapon: Crimson Dragon Iron Slayer (Level 4)

……

"With a skill requirement of two million, if I rely on a level four Crimson Horned Fire Python to cultivate to level six, who knows when that will take... Next, I need to find a level five sub-dragon species."

Of all the fire-type sub-dragons.

For Li Wei, there was no one more suitable than the Black Lotus Beast.

"The strongest sub-dragon species originating from the Crimson Dragon, I can't wait!"

Originally, Li Wei intended to secretly investigate Dragon Valley after leaving the pass.

But some time ago, he found out through the Holy Infant.

Some people have discovered that the Black Lotus Beast has been roaming the eastern region of Io, killing many wizards and even mortals.

The black lotus beast seemed to have gone mad, attacking recklessly and breaking through the encirclement and blockade of the fifth-ring perfect wizards several times.

Li Wei speculated that the sudden appearance of the crazed Black Lotus Beast in the eastern region might not be a coincidence.

It's possible that the Nine Cities Alliance is diverting trouble eastward, just like the appearance of the Amethyst Clan in the Sea of ​​Stars—it was all pre-arranged.

But, regardless of the circumstances.

From now on, this black lotus beast belongs to him; even Jesus couldn't stop it.

Of course, he wouldn't rush in blindly; he would first go to the eastern region to conduct an on-site investigation before taking any action.

After all, he was only invincible at the Yuanhun level, not truly invincible.

Enter the fairyland of ancient banyan trees.

We arrived at Xiaoshitan (Little Stone Pool).

After a vigorous and invigorating workout, Li Wei likes to soak in the Fountain of Youth for a bath.

I felt refreshed after the shower.

He began preparing for the move.

This time, he's leaving Dragon Palace Island, and it's highly likely he won't be coming back.

He arrived at the Eight Heavenly Dragons Prison.

"Gan, Wen, Cui, Sokins, Pixar, Lei Peng... come here."

He called out.

Extraordinary beings flocked to the scene.

"My Lord Dragon King, shall we leave?" Ganster asked.

"Yes, now we are about to embark on the real journey. I will send you to the true Dragon Palace Wonderland!" Li Wei said.

"Roar! I knew it! Our Dragon Palace must have a secret base!" Trist exclaimed excitedly.

How could the Dragon Palace, such a prestigious and high-class organization, possibly have its base on a deserted island?

It seems that the Dragon King was deliberately testing them before, and only after passing the test can they truly enter the secret base.

"Alright, line up and we'll go in one by one. Once inside, don't run around. If you damage any of the flowers, plants, or rare species, you'll be punished," Li Wei said.

He opened the entrance to the Ancient Banyan Wonderland.

The three brothers' enormous bodies entered one after another.

After entering.

What you see is blue sky, white clouds, and an endless grassland.

"This place is amazing, the earth element is so strong!" Vincent exclaimed.

"I feel like I can reach level 5 within forty years!" Lati lay on the grassland, enjoying the breeze, his heart filled with fighting spirit.

More and more extraordinary beings entered it.

The grassland instantly came alive.

"Those at level five, stay. Those at level four, go find a suitable place to live. You are not allowed to enter the places I have marked," Li Wei said.

Given the strength of the enemies he will face in the future.

Without level five strength, there's little point in guarding the formation; you might even be throwing your life away.

The following days.

He began dismantling the magic array on Dragon Palace Island, and then went to the Great Plains to reset it.

In the center of the grassland stands the ancient banyan king, Mana.

If you encounter a powerful enemy in the future, throw it into the magic circle here.

If you can beat them yourself, then do it yourself.

If we can't win... surely Senior Mana wouldn't just stand by and watch us die, right?

Three months later.

The reinstallation of the large array has been completed.

It is now the winter month of 1212.

Li Wei gazed at the empty Dragon Palace Island, erasing all traces of his life.

Finally, he arrived in the valley disguised as a kind wizard.

Aya has grown up a bit, becoming even more beautiful and adorable, her eyes still sparkling.

She is now a mid-level wizard apprentice, and her progress in cultivation is remarkably fast.

She had never met Li Wei before, only the Holy Infant, so she was a little nervous.

"Are you the older brother's friend?" she asked.

Li Wei thought for a moment and then smiled, "I guess so. We are very, very good friends."

"Okay, shall we leave?" Aya was clever.

"Yes, I'm ending my reclusive life. Come with me. I'll take you to a safe place. From now on, you can call me the Island Lord," he said.

"Okay, Island Lord, please tell Big Brother when you see him."

Aya is lively and has a sweet tongue, so she quickly became familiar with Li Wei.

Li Wei thought to himself.

In my previous life, I was called "uncle" by children when I was under thirty.

In this life, I'm over two hundred years old, and I'm still being called "brother"...

He took Aya to the Ancient Banyan Wonderland, where they settled in the hollow of Mana's roots.

Based on the information the little girl had previously revealed, Mana definitely knew her.

The voice of the Holy Grail echoed in his mind: "This little girl is somewhat special."

Li Wei said, "Yes, she has a very good talent for wizardry. With proper training, she can become a great person in the future."

The Holy Grail said:

"Aya didn't know that her mother was not a mortal, but the King of Light. Her mother was hunted down for betraying the Supreme God of Light, and was seriously injured while fleeing. Before she died, she entrusted Aya to Mana's care, and then she perished not long after. Aya's talent may be related to this."

Li Wei nodded, guessing that there must be some unknown secrets behind this.

But it doesn't matter anymore, Aya is his now.

With his abilities, he was more than capable of protecting her as she grew up.

Old stories are like smoke and dust; they can simply dissipate.

Aya gazed at the banyan tree sprouting new buds and asked curiously:

"Island Master, I remember the Goddess Sister lived here. Have we returned to the Youth Grassland?"

Li Wei shook his head: "The goddess sister is going to a very far place. You'll find out when she wakes up."

Aya nodded, returned to the tree hollow, decorated her cozy little nest, and continued her meditation and practice.

"This little guy is really lucky. He's already in Rome the moment he embarks on the path of cultivation. Unlike me, I have to rely on myself and the system to work my way up from the bottom."

Watching Aya grow up, Li Wei felt a sense of satisfaction from nurturing her.

He left the fairyland and took the Holy Grail into his mind.

Within the five-tiered Dharma Ring Holy Tower, the seven-colored crystal grew even stronger.

Over the past two years, Li Wei's meditation efficiency has improved even further, thanks to the aid of the Dead Soul Dates and a better cultivation environment.

My mental strength has now reached 738 points.

Of course, since he hasn't discovered the seventh talent, he still can't be considered a true senior wizard of the fifth ring.

However, for wizards, the only way to discern a stranger's cultivation level is by relying on their spiritual power.

The number of innate magical abilities a person possesses is unknown to others unless specifically disclosed.

Within the seven-colored crystal, there are already three ultimate souls.

Li Wei successfully refined the first one in less than half a year.

These two dishes, however, took more than two years to prepare.

The time spent will gradually increase, which will definitely reduce his cultivation time.

However, Li Wei was not in a hurry.

Their reliance is their own lifespan.

He is only 222 years old now.

Even if he only has the lifespan of a wizard, he still has nearly eight hundred years left.

His [Moon Rune] has already been upgraded to level three.

His lifespan increased by 20%, and it will increase by 10% for each subsequent level up.

Of course, the difficulty of cultivating the Moon Rune is higher than that of the Chariot and Power Runes, so future improvements may be relatively slow.

Now, his lifespan is guaranteed to be at least 1200 years.

This is a number that 99% of fifth-ring wizards can only dream of.

Therefore, he has only lived one-sixth of his life.

"Converted to a mortal's lifetime, I'm currently just a minor..."

Li Wei bid farewell to Dragon Palace Island and flew towards the eastern part of the continent of Aion.

……

The continent of Io.

Eastern region.

The Black Lotus Beast Rebellion has lasted for several years and has not yet subsided.

Moreover, many wizards, mages, and aliens have been indiscriminately killed by the Black Lotus Beast.

Among wizards, there are quite a few dragonborn wizards.

On the shore of the East China Sea.

A deserted valley.

The Black Lotus Beast stood like a mountain on the earth, its face numb as it stared at the approaching Level 5 Dragon Abomination.

It opened its enormous mouth.

Accompanied by the earth-shattering, jet-black breath of a dragon.

All obstacles along the way were smashed to pieces!

A massive, hideous dragon, laughing wildly, tore through the air and charged towards the Black Lotus Beast.

"Die!"

next moment.

Beams of light from the magic array descended from the sky, surrounding it.

At the same time, golden light covered the valley, and giant golden-winged birds circled around it.

"All students, subdue the dragon!"

Simon appeared out of the void like a god.

Under the dual suppression of the magic array and the domain, the dragon monster was directly suppressed and unable to move.

The phantom of the final dragon bird easily tore through the impenetrable scales and hide of the level 5 dragon demon with its sharp claws.

With its hooked beak, it pecked out its eyes, causing it to scream in agony.

The phantom of the God of Fire descended from the sky, and the world-destroying giant sword fell from the heavens!

With a loud clang.

The dragon's head fell unwillingly, its eyes filled with confusion and resentment: "The End Dragon Bird...wasn't it extinct?"

Simon picked up the head, and flames erupted from his palm, turning the dragon's body to ashes.

He closed the dragon's unseeing eyes and put it into his storage ring.

His plans have not gone smoothly over the past two years.

Both the Sky Dragon Witch of Stormwind and the two Dragonborn Witches of the Sea of ​​Stars spent their days in seclusion within their encampment.

Despite his immense strength, he dared not venture into the headquarters of these top-tier forces.

There was no other way but to kill some of the smaller fry to vent my anger.

Fortunately, today, a level 5 peak dragon actually took the bait, which gave him a great time.

Suddenly.

A terrifyingly loud noise was heard.

Simon quickly left the area and disappeared without a trace.

Using the treasure, he became invisible high in the sky, gazing at the sea ahead.

In a faraway land, there stands a magnificent, mountain-like black stone palace that parted the sea and rose slowly.

Countless drops of seawater fell, and giant waves swept toward the shore.

"What is this?"

Simon was surprised.

He seemed to have encountered some amazing things again; his luck was truly enviable.

He hid the Black Lotus Beast here, while he himself flew forward invisibly.

Fifteen minutes later.

The colossal black stone palace floated motionless in mid-air.

A wild, ancient aura emanates from the wilderness.

He casually picked up a level four alchemical bird from his storage ring and flew towards the Black Stone Palace.

The bird arrived safely at the tightly closed door of the main hall.

After an unknown amount of time, the main hall doors slowly opened.

A musty, old smell wafted over me.

A large, golden hand with bulging veins suddenly grabbed the bird.

With a gentle squeeze, the bird's entire body of metal collapsed and twisted into a deformed shape.

A burly figure, about three meters tall, appeared here.

His entire body was as if sculpted from gold, and his physique was like that of an ancient Greek sculpture.

Strength and beauty, the golden ratio, perfectly blended.

He frowned, staring at the empty space ahead, and waved his hand.

A golden light flashed by, as if the space itself trembled.

The next moment, a muffled groan came from the void.

"Interesting, they actually escaped. By the way, where is this place?"

His name is Midor, a member of the Jinjue tribe.

Its homeland is the great [Golden Sacred Realm].

It was a kingdom ruled by many holy kings.

The Jinjue people enjoy interdimensional travel and colonization.

They call all the places outside the Golden Holy Realm the "Black Sea," and there are countless "New Worlds" in the Black Sea.

Thousands of years ago.

He and a group of his people followed Captain Yaris aboard the Black Stone and sailed into the Black Sea, intending to find resources and wealth in the new world.

After plundering some small worlds, he died midway through his journey due to a maritime accident.

They encountered a level 7 "Black Sea Giant".

Although Captain Yaris is a powerful Soul Fighter, he is only at level six.

Even though the Jinjue clan is unparalleled in combat power, they are no match for a level seven sea monster.

The captain was seriously injured, and with no other choice, he activated the Blackrock Cannon, severely damaging the sea monster.

The Blackstone also ran out of energy and had to be completely sealed off. All of its officers and sailors went into the gold compartment to "hibernate".

The Blackrock will automatically search for the nearest world and land there.

After that, nothing was ever known.

Midor was the first to wake up; he was the third mate on the ship and the fourth strongest.

The being who was hiding in the distance just now, according to the standards of their world, was only at the level of a mid-stage fifth-level Yuan Dou Shi.

Midor, before falling into slumber, was already at the peak of level five and was a genius among the Golden Clan.

The opponent was able to withstand one of his attacks and escape unscathed.

It seems that the extraordinary civilization in this world is much stronger than he imagined.

He returned to the Black Stone Palace, which was very spacious, like a city. This palace was their ship: the Black Stone.

The maritime industry in the Golden Holy Realm is highly developed.

The Jinjue tribe. From a young age, they are instilled with the idea that they should become captains and search for a new world on the Black Sea.

Legend has it that the New World is filled with countless treasures and resources, so rich that even the air smells sweet.

There is usually a group of uncivilized barbarians waiting to be enslaved by them.

However, according to the law, only the strongest Soul Warriors are qualified to leave the Holy Realm, recruit crew members, and sail to the Black Sea.

Therefore, every member of the Golden Clan takes pride in becoming a fighter and aims to become a Soul Fighter as their ultimate goal.

As for the even more powerful Star Warriors and the Holy King, they were beings they wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Inside the hibernation pods, which resembled ancient tombs, were metal chambers filled with molten iron that looked like gold.

One by one, more than a hundred Jinjue clansmen, roughly the same age as him, were asleep.

"The holy power in this world is not bad, but it's still far from enough to fully charge the Blackrock. We need to find other energy sources."

Midor gazed at the giant hibernation pod in the very center.

A burly figure, as if carved by a knife and axe, lay there, exuding a powerful aura.

His body was covered in wounds, shrouded in black energy that was corroding him.

"That level seven sea monster is too powerful. The captain's injuries haven't even healed yet... Never mind, I'll try to wake up the others, gather resources, and repair the Blackrock first."

……

East Coast.

in the valley.

Simon appeared, squinting as he gazed at the massive black stone palace in the distance.

"This must be a relic that the creator of the ancient tower placed on the fifth floor! However, the guardian of this relic is a bit too strong. I'm afraid I can't break in by myself."

Thinking of this.

Simon immediately sent a message to Lord Roman.

Not long after, I received a reply from them.

The Nine Cities Alliance will send two Perfected Fifth Ring Wizards, ten Ordinary and Senior Fifth Ring Wizards, and over a hundred Fourth Ring Wizards.

"Let that Sky Dragon Shaman live a little longer. I'll kill him after I've explored all the ruins!"

……

Eastern Io.

Stormwind.

High in the sky, the windstorm layer.

An old wizard with white hair and beard sat cross-legged, meditating and practicing.

Before him was a crystal ball shaped like a globe, with air currents swirling around it.

This is a treasure of the Storm School, named [Celestial Sphere].

It was crafted using the eyeball of a level seven Celestial Beast.

Possessing this treasure allows one to sense strong air currents in distant places, thereby finding treasures and discovering powerful enemies.

The old wizard opened his eyes and stared at a certain spot on the celestial sphere where the air currents were turbulent and abnormal.

"Such commotion suggests the discovery of a large ancient site!"

He immediately sent a message to the Stormwind leadership, organizing a team to travel overseas.

The emergence of the Black Stone Palace caused such a great stir that news of the ruins appearing in the world spread like wildfire.

However, many people who went to investigate never returned.

One of the Five Rings wizards who managed to escape said...

The terrifying Black Lotus Beast lurks in the deep sea surrounding the ruins.

east.

A small gathering place for wizards.

Having changed his appearance, Li Wei followed the trail of the Black Lotus Beast.

"Now it seems that the Black Lotus Beast is indeed the one causing the trouble. Could it be that this Black Lotus Beast escaped from the ancient ruins? Could there be more sub-dragon species among them?"

His mind wandered.

In the blink of an eye.

A month has passed.

The year 1213 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Moon.

After the 112th roundtable meeting, Li Wei showed the Knight of Flowers the projection of the Black Stone Palace that had been circulating outside. She was knowledgeable and might be able to see something.

"This thing doesn't seem like a wizard's relic; it's more likely the relic of another civilization, though I don't know exactly which one. The Dark Tower has traveled far beyond the multiverse, so I wouldn't be surprised if anything appeared in this tower. If you intend to explore it, proceed with caution; the unknown is the most terrifying thing."

"The Knight of Flowers said."

"All right."

Li Wei fell into deep thought.

Over the long years and through countless journeys, the ancient pagoda has concealed countless secrets.

After bidding farewell to the flowers, Li Wei sighed:

"If only I could live inside the ancient pagoda, a few decades would be too short."

……

The news of this discovery of an unknown relic has had a wider impact than the previous Youth Grassland incident.

After all, there were level six beings guarding the area around the anomaly, and the treasure was just the Holy Grail.

But in these ruins, everything is unknown.

Wizards are extremely enthusiastic about exploring ruins.

In a valley by the sea.

Simon, hidden among them, was filled with anxiety.

"Damn it, someone else actually found this place!"

He originally intended for the Nine Cities Alliance to take it all for themselves, but now it seems impossible.

"But this is fine too. Apart from me, no one knows how powerful the guardians of the ruins are. Let these people go ahead as cannon fodder. I only need to send people to secretly surround the ruins. When the time comes, whatever they took, they will have to give it back to me."

Moreover, the news of the ruins' emergence might attract even more dragonborn wizards—Theros, Alyssandra, Ashe… Thinking about it that way, it's actually more advantageous for me.”

……

Sea of ​​Stars.

New Fire Dragon Island.

[Crafting Proficiency +246]

As the Holy Infant gazed at the panel, his crafting skills became increasingly proficient.

Over the past period, he has reforged and upgraded the [Gold Dividing Secret Sword].

After being infused with amethyst, the secret sword itself became more robust and resilient.

Moreover, its appearance has been completely transformed into a secret sword that emits a purple light.

Even if the Holy Infant used it, no one else could tell.

"I'll call you the Purple Flame Secret Sword."

The Holy Infant gripped the secret sword and swung it out, unleashing a scorching purple ray that sliced ​​through the ground and penetrated deep into the earth.

"Not bad."

In an instant, the Amethyst Secret Sword entered his mind.

"Haha, top-tier equipment +1."

After finishing his business, the Holy Infant arrived at Rust Island.

"Does Master Fire Dragon intend to travel to the ancient ruins?" asked the Rusty Dragon Shaman.

"Yes, I have to join in on this excitement. Who knows, I might get something out of it?" the Holy Infant laughed.

"While you were in seclusion refining your weapon, the Red Dragon and the Blue Dragon also went there. If you go, they can help you out... But you must be careful. I heard that the Nine Cities Alliance sent quite a few people. The commotion at the ruins this time seems to be intentionally spread by someone," said the Rusty Dragon Witch.

"I see."

After bidding farewell to the Rusty Dragon Witch, the Holy Infant set off eastward.

The Rusty Dragon Witch then headed to the depths of the Sea of ​​Stars.

"Now that all the major organizations are focused on the ruins, and the Nine Cities Alliance has also started a war with the Ancient Tomb Clan, it is the best time for me to advance to the Yuan Soul realm."

I, Manderos, have been practicing for a thousand years, and I have been in the Five Realms for over four hundred years.

With a mental strength cap of 1060 points, nine talents at their peak, the bloodline of the Ancient Rust Dragon, and seven top-grade magical artifacts, I can say that I have given it my all, all for this all-or-nothing gamble!

If it weren't for the need to limit his mental strength, he could have advanced to the fifth ring long ago.

It can be said that he has been waiting for this day for nearly a thousand years.

"If I succeed, I will be famous throughout the world... If I fail, I will die without regret!"

……

west coast.

The headquarters of the Deep Blue organization.

At the Deep Blue Conference.

One by one, the five powerful figures were discussing important matters.

"This opening of the ruins is extraordinary, attracting geniuses from all schools of thought. Although the East Sea is not our territory, we still need to send some people there. Even if we can only get a share, it will be a victory."

"How about each of the major organizations sending at least one fifth-circle wizard and ten fourth-circle wizards?"

"Agreed. Such a grand event, the Sky Dragon Wizard will surely be there, won't he?" The Golden Light Wizard rubbed his hands together, eager to participate.

If he can defeat the Sky Dragon Witch, his reputation in the Endless Sea will rise even higher.

This will also make it easier for the family to place him in the law enforcement department of the Tower of Stars in the future.

"I'll go to the Witch's House," said the Snow Lotus Witch.

A burly wizard from the Abyss Alliance, his face flushed with excitement, said:

"It's really exciting. After living quietly in the ancient pagoda for more than forty years, it's time to stretch our muscles a bit."

He is Mangang, a nobleman from the sea.

He is the strongest body-refining genius among the younger generation of the Sea Abyss Alliance, and one of the few wizards who can cultivate the "Eight-Armed Demon God Body Refining Technique" and achieve some success.

"Since you've all gone, it would be pointless for me, Hades, not to go... Haha, Wendis just went into seclusion and missed this grand event." Hades grinned, exuding confidence and arrogance.

The geniuses of the Seven Water Tower and Lilith's Hut also volunteered to fight.

In a short time.

The meeting was in full swing.

The opening of this ancient site also provides an even larger stage.

These top geniuses have been lying low in their respective territories for decades. Although they have shown some talent during this time, they have never encountered anyone too strong.

They also wanted to find an opportunity to test the results of their spiritual practice.

"You may go, but remember this: life comes first, treasure second... You are not ordinary people, and your deaths would be a major loss to the organization. With your strength and your respective trump cards, as long as you don't act recklessly and greedily, you can all retreat unscathed unless your primordial spirits intervene."

After the meeting.

Teams of fully armed personnel flew towards the East China Sea.

And in the Earth Tower, the Temple of Thunder, the Ice Tower, Death Valley...

The wizards, like hungry wolves that have caught a whiff of something, flew toward the ruins.

……

East China Sea.

The Black Stone Palace.

Inside a cabin.

Several fourth-circle wizards are imprisoned there.

They were on the verge of death, their faces numb, and above their heads, metal tentacles drooped down, piercing into their brains as if sucking something out.

Then, images were projected into the void.

The wizards were terrified and struggled desperately, but to no avail.

A woman from the Golden Elf Clan, resembling a statue of Athena, walked in.

She is Cagalli, the second mate of the Blackrock, and also a level 5 peak elemental warrior.

"These extraordinary beings known as wizards seem to possess powerful supernatural magic. Unfortunately, the Blackrock cannot read or translate anything related to magic or cultivation," Cagalli said.

"It doesn't matter. Since the Golden Tree opened the heavens and the earth and the Holy Kings passed down the Holy Laws, our Holy Realm has expanded its territory and seen countless extraordinary systems, but none of them are as good as ours... Only our Holy Laws are the strongest laws in the Black Sea Realms! Learning others would only be going the long way around. However, once we return to the Golden Holy Realm, we can ask a powerful expert to decipher them, which might be of some use to us," Midor said.

Cagalli said, "Speaking of this Dark Tower, I am reminded of a record in the ancient books of the Holy Realm called the Tower of the Black Sea... It is said that the Tower of the Black Sea is one of the ten wonders of the Black Sea."

However, a specific key is required to enter. Unfortunately, no one from our Jinjue clan has ever obtained the key. It is said that a Holy King once attempted to subdue this ancient tower but failed, and after that, no one paid any attention to it anymore.

Midor said, "So, it might be troublesome for us to leave. We might even have to rely on these wizards, otherwise we could be trapped in the tower until we die!"

Cagalli said, "All the sailors have been awakened, and First Mate Guret will also be awakened soon. Once the captain is awake, we can put our plan into action."

……

The year was 1213 in the Holy Radiance Calendar.

The month of budding.

The massive black stone palace had its doors tightly shut.

Countless wizards are already hiding in the surrounding seas, waiting for their chance.

There was a powerful repulsive force surrounding the giant hall, which prevented ordinary wizards from getting close.

A valley by the sea.

Inside the concealed magic array.

Simon, Gomez, and Besque stood at the front of the team.

Behind him were more than a hundred wizards from the Nine Cities Alliance.

As for the Black Lotus Beast, Simon has already hidden it in the deep sea; this will be his trump card.

"The other major factions have all arrived, with Stormwind City being the strongest and having the most manpower... The manpower we have sent is insufficient to confront them head-on. My suggestion is to wait. Someone will inevitably be unable to resist and will attack the main hall. We can make our move after we have ascertained the situation."

"Beske said."

"Has the Sky Dragon Witch arrived as well?" Simon asked.

"arrive."

"That's good."

……

the other side.

Two years after going into seclusion.

The spiritual power of the Red Dragon Queen and the Blue Dragon Lady is getting closer and closer to perfection.

However, unlike the Rust Dragon Witches, they are far from ready to advance to the Yuan Soul level.

Therefore, the opportunity to explore the ruins should not be missed.

Judging from the message from the Rusty Dragon Witch, the Fire Dragon Master has also arrived.

But neither of them could find where the other was.

The collaborations with Master Fire Dragon were remarkably smooth and perfect.

They were confident that the three of them working together would be enough to annihilate all enemies below the Yuanhun level!

……

Above the Black Stone Palace, in the high heavens above the Windstorm Layer.

A flying sickle beast hovered silently, unnoticed by anyone.

Thousands of miles away from the grand palace, in a deep, dark seabed, hidden within a magical array.

Li Wei sat quietly in meditation.

In order to keep a close eye on the situation in the giant palace, he specially dispatched a flying sickle beast that was closest to the palace to monitor it in real time.

"The last time the Black Lotus Beast appeared was here, but we searched the whole place and couldn't find it. Could it have left?"

Li Wei's most important purpose in coming here was to obtain the Black Lotus Beast.

He didn't care about anything else.

His sense of danger triggered a frantic warning as soon as he approached the massive black stone palace.

This means that there is someone among them who could pose a danger to him, most likely a level six powerhouse.

Therefore, he would absolutely not go into the main hall.

Once he finds the Black Lotus Beast, he will leave this place. He won't join the crowd; nothing is more important than his life.

However, he planned to place the Holy Infant here to see if he could take advantage of the situation and get a share of the profits.

……

Directly below the Black Stone Palace.

A bottomless abyss.

A colossal beast, as large as a mountain, lurks in the endless darkness.

Its black scales transformed into mountain rocks, blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment, making it impossible to tell that it was a living creature even upon closer inspection.

It turns out that Simon had already placed the Black Lotus Beast here as a backup plan.

Undercurrents are surging in the East China Sea.

Never before have wizards, alien races, and various forces gathered on such a large scale on the continent of Aion.

What secrets does this extraordinary black palace hold? And how much wealth does it contain?

at last.

Some people couldn't wait any longer and got up to fly to the Blackrock Palace.

Among them, the Amethyst Clan made up the majority.

And its leader is none other than Gal, a level 5 peak Amethyst Clan member who appeared on the Youth Grassland last time.

Garr couldn't hold back any longer.

He could sense that there were definitely good things inside the main hall.

It is very likely a high-grade metal ore.

In fact, the mysterious black stone palace itself was a delicacy for Gal.

Then, other alien races and rogue sorcerers followed suit.

A burst of purple light erupted from Gar and the group of powerful members of the Amethyst Clan.

"Sacred Technique: Star Collapse!"

More than a dozen purple rays of light suddenly erupted and converged into a giant fist shadow that caused everyone present to change their expressions drastically!

Accompanied by an explosion.

The gates of the massive black stone palace trembled slightly, yet could not be opened.

More and more people rushed to the entrance of the main hall, and all sorts of attacks were unleashed on the gate.

Some time later, accompanied by a piercing warning sound.

The black stone gate slowly opened, revealing a deep passageway.
