Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 435 The Bloodbath Begins, the Crimson Emperor Ascends! (Long Chapter, Please Subscribe and Vote!)

Ancient Banyan Tree Wonderland.

Li Wei's eyes widened as he stared at Aya, who was spitting out streams of light.

"Your stomach can hold quite a lot."

As a traveling raven, Ayak possesses a dimensional space within her body that resembles a storage space.

In the beginning, it was just ordinary materials, such as some pretty dead branches, deer antlers, scales, or even the gold and silver treasures of ordinary people.

Later, some shimmering elemental metals began to be expelled. Li Wei discovered quite a few level 5 and 6 elemental metals.

"Good, keep vomiting."

boom!

Suddenly.

A large shadow fell from the sky, and Li Wei raised his hand to lift it up.

This is a colossal white-scaled beast, a thousand meters long, with a flat body, exuding a powerful dragon aura.

Li Wei placed it on the ground, examined it carefully, and then a look of delight appeared on his face.

"It's actually a Level 7 Perfect-Evolved Sub-Dragon, a Wind-type Dragon!"

The scales of the wind-shaped dragon are all naturally grown cloud patterns, which look elegant and soft.

Its overall shape resembles a white cloud blown away by the wind in the sky.

Its abdomen was shrouded in white, ribbon-like mist, which remained even after so long of death.

Moreover, although it looks very large, it is much lighter than other dragons, probably because of its wind attribute.

Li Wei said regretfully:

"It's a pity he's already dead, and judging from the looks of it, he died of old age. This guy lived for at least tens of thousands of years. Being able to die of old age in this world is a blessing in itself."

"Since it's dead, the Wind Dragon's blood can be extracted and used to make bloodline crystals. Its scales can be used to refine artificial energy cores, which can then be installed on my Doomsday Fist, making the [Uppercut Sky-Splitting Fist] usable. The Wind Dragon's bones are also excellent level seven materials, suitable for refining some Storm faction witchcraft artifacts. This corpse is priceless."

Li Wei couldn't help but rub A'Ya's head. A'Ya had done a great service just for the corpse of this wind dragon.

Moreover, it also found a considerable number of biological materials at level six or above.

These are the best materials for refining Holy Infant artifacts, which can save a lot of raw material costs and increase the profit margin of Holy Infant artifact refining.

"Good, take a break for a while, and then keep up the good work."

Li Wei sent A-Ya into his mind and nurtured it with his own primordial spirit, allowing it to conserve its energy.

"The Wind Dragon is also an endurance-type dragon. Its bloodline crystals should be usable as materials for the evolution of the Sky Dragon Breathing Technique."

Originally, Li Wei hadn't planned to evolve, but now his mind started to wander. To advance to the Sky Dragon Breathing Technique, he needed at least two types of endurance-type biological bloodline crystals containing legendary bloodline factors; elemental attributes weren't important. The reason he chose water and earth element crystals when evolving the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique into the Golden Emperor Dragon was simply because these two elements were more likely to produce dragons skilled in defense, just like how the ocean and earth factions in wizarding are better at defense.

According to Li Wei's current research.

The wind, earth, and water elements are the three categories with the highest probability of giving birth to endurance-type dragons.

Of course, this doesn't mean that other factions can't produce endurance-type creatures. For example, the Silver Mountain Dragon is an endurance-type creature, but it's an Thunder-type.

Several days later, after Li Wei's bloodline test, it was found that the Wind-shaped Dragon contained a sub-dragon species of the legendary dragon race, the Wind Illusion Dragon.

This is a relatively rare legendary dragon race. Most of the time, it travels endlessly through multiple dimensions in the form of a gentle breeze. It is a "traveler" among dragons, and so is Maia.

After making up his mind to evolve into a Sky Dragon, Li Wei assigned this task to various organizations, instructing them to intensify their efforts to gather any possible intelligence and information about the dragon race.

……

starry night.

Above the Palace of a Hundred Flowers, amidst starlight-studded clouds, floats a wizard's tower. Ivy and other vines envelop it, their branches and leaves flourishing, and a hundred flowers in full bloom.

At the top of the spire, a dreamlike ring of stars revolves around the wizard's tower. A rich concentration of water elemental energy gathers around the tower, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland.

Two figures leaned against the tower's spire, gazing at the starry sky.

Hundred Flowers Path:

"It feels so good to have a wizard's tower."

Li Wei laughed:

"I didn't expect you to include the [Star Ring] in the Wizard Tower system; it's quite an interesting design."

Baihua gazed at the dazzling star ring.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

Over the past decade, she has both solidified the foundation and added to the nascent form of the Wizard's Tower. The idea of ​​merging the Star Ring with the Wizard's Tower came to her in a flash of inspiration. By making the Wizard's Tower part of the Star Ring, it would form a complete and harmonious whole, eliminating the need to replace the Horcruxes.

Li Weidao:

"It is indeed beautiful, but this is only the first floor. It still needs to work hard to become a true wizard tower."

Hundred Flowers Path:

"No rush. Completing the entire Wizard Tower project before advancing to the eighth ring is a victory... By the way, how's your Wizard Tower project progressing?"

Li Weidao:

"Mine? It's still a long way off. I haven't even prepared the main structure and building materials yet. If I can finish the main construction of the Wizard Tower before I reach the eighth ring, that will be a victory."

The fossilized wood and nightmare wood he created using Gargamel's methods are not yet fully formed.

His wizard tower must be top-notch; once the foundation is solid, it will allow him to reach the legendary level.

Under the starlight, Li Wei and Baihua chatted casually at the top of the tower.

Suddenly, Li Wei received a message, and his expression changed.

Baihua asked:

"What's wrong?"

Li Weidao:

"Gandalf sent me an inside message: the military will issue an announcement soon, and in a few days, the council will establish a 'Demon Slayer List.' All wizards and other races in the Wizarding World can sign up to participate. Killing demons will earn points, which can be exchanged for spells, magical artifacts, potions, and other cultivation resources."

Baihua's face lit up with joy.

"It seems the Wizarding Council is going all out this time."

Li Weidao:

"Yes, let's wait for official news."

The surrounding vines and ivy encircle it, weaving a green boudoir.

……

a few days later.

A bombshell announcement has swept through the wizarding world from the Central Realm.

The message reached everyone from top-tier wizarding organizations to independent wizards, as well as all the alien races residing in Nora.

To encourage enthusiasm among the military, civilians, and people of all walks of life in the fight against the Abyss, starting today, the Tower of a Thousand Machines is establishing a new Demon Slayer Ranking, in addition to the official rankings such as the Wizard Ranking and Soul Weapon Ranking. The Demon Slayer Ranking is divided into nine levels, from Apprentice Wizards to Eighth-Ring Wizards, all can register for their respective rankings. The rankings are settled at the end of each year, and those with outstanding demon-slaying achievements within the same level will receive "Battle Merit Points" from the Wizard Council. In addition, killing demons will also directly award Battle Merit Points. The amount of the reward is based on a comprehensive evaluation of the type and level of the demon; detailed rules are as follows…

Ancient Dragon Continent.

Li Wei pondered for a moment and said:

"It seems that this time it is a true nationwide mobilization to fight the war together."

He read through the rules of this Demon Slayer Ranking, which were extremely detailed.

Starting today, all wizards, including apprentice wizards, will receive the Demon Slayer Bracelet, a product developed by the Council, free of charge. The bracelet's terminal is connected to the legendary artifact, the Heart of the Skynet.

The bracelet can record the type, strength, and number of demons killed, and upload the data to Skynet Heart according to the wizard's ID. All calculations and rankings are done by Skynet Heart.

For team kills or cooperative kills, there will be different calculation methods to strive for fairness and impartiality.

Battle merits can be used to exchange for the resources needed at the specialized institutions of various factions within the council.

Wizards of the sixth ring or higher can go directly to the Central Realm and exchange their rewards at the Merit Shop set up by the military headquarters.

Even rare items like the Treasure of Truth can be exchanged, but it requires a huge amount of battle merits.

Of course, besides fighting demons directly, those skilled in medicine making, weapon crafting, or other specialties can also contribute to the blood war through these means. The Wizard Council has also established a complete set of wartime incentive programs.

In addition, all wizards must be prepared to be temporarily conscripted by the military. After all, there are too many uncertainties in the bloody battle, and reinforcements will be needed at any time.

In short, that is:

With the combined strength of the entire wizarding world, kill as many demons as possible.

In addition, the Demon Slayer List does not include Grand Wizards and Legendary Wizards.

The enemies they need to fight are level nine and ten abyss lords. It is a battle between the top echelons, and battle merits are no longer meaningful.

They need to ensure that abyssal demons of level nine or higher do not wreak havoc in the wizarding world; if they do appear, they must be nipped in the bud. The abyss will certainly send many powerful demons to restrain these legendary wizards and grand wizards.

After the bloody battle ends, the council will calculate the points of each participant on the Demon Slayer Ranking. The person ranked first in the current realm will receive the title of "Blood Battle King" and a generous reward.

If a wizard advances in rank during the Blood War, the points earned in the previous rank can be accumulated to the next rank, allowing them to obtain higher-level rewards on the Demon Slayer Ranking. This prevents some wizards from deliberately holding back their rank in order to obtain the title of "Blood War King".

Of course, under normal circumstances, no wizard would deliberately not advance in rank for this reason, as that would be like picking up a sesame seed but losing a watermelon, which would be a losing proposition.

The release of the Demon Slayer List caused an uproar in the wizarding world.

There were excited people, nervous people, uneasy people, and afraid people.

Some people want to take this opportunity to carve out their own territory through killing.

Some people just want to stay out of it and try every means to escape.

For Li Wei, fleeing without a fight was impossible.

As Roger said, even legendary wizards cannot exist entirely outside of wizarding civilization.

The achievements of wizarding civilization today are partly due to the contributions of Sauron and the legendary wizards, but even more so to the countless ordinary wizards who, with their individual wisdom, constructed the intricate and complex system of wizarding knowledge and theory—a system built step by step. For a long time, he would need to continuously climb and cultivate within this pyramid of civilization until he achieved legendary status.

"Blood King? Interesting."

No one understands the loneliness of being invincible at the same level better than Li Wei.

……

Time flies.

Despite the shadow of bloodshed, the wizarding world has peacefully passed another ten years.

Ancient Dragon Continent.

Li Wei was working himself to the bone, striving to advance the Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique to level seven before the bloody battle.

Thanks to the efforts of his subordinates, he had gathered all the materials for the advanced secret medicine, and now all that was left was to reach the limit of his breathing technique.

For Li Wei, besides the wizard advancement, the Crimson Emperor Dragon is currently the most direct way to improve his strength.

Once it reaches level seven, its strength will undergo a qualitative change.

Li Wei's mental strength level has also reached 5880.

It's only 149 points away from the limit, which can be achieved within 20 years.

Once he reaches the limit of his mental strength, he can devote himself to learning other elemental soul spells, perfecting the 27 witch marks, and then preparing to advance to the seventh ring.

To advance to the seventh ring, one must hunt down at least one level seven Balrog for alchemy. Balrogs are renowned for their combat prowess among demons.

Therefore, if he could reach level seven with the Crimson Emperor Dragon, he could be more at ease and ensure that nothing went wrong.

As is customary, Li Wei temporarily put aside other relatively unimportant tasks and focused all his efforts on the Crimson Emperor Dragon!

one year later.

Li Wei finally pushed the Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique to its limit.

He opened the proficiency panel.

Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique: 18th level (limit), special effect: Crimson Emperor Dragon Body · ? ? ? (peak level 6).

……

Li Wei did some quick calculations.

There are still more than 6 years left before the Dark Tower opens.

Normally, Li Wei would not choose to go into seclusion at this time, as he might miss the once-in-a-century opening of the Dark Tower if he went into seclusion for too long.

However, these are special times, and a bloody battle is imminent. Facing the abyss demons who are full of powerful beings, the sooner he obtains level seven strength, the more confident he will be.

"Never mind, I'll start my seclusion. If all else fails, I'll go back in two hundred years. Anyway, my main goal is to settle accounts with that old Dragon King... Besides, if I can advance to level seven, I can take this opportunity to take the level seven law enforcement officer authority assessment. If I pass, I can directly enter the seventh level next time."

The resources on the sixth floor are definitely not as good as those on the seventh floor. Just the bunch of black beast lords inside are the greatest wealth for Li Wei.

In Li Wei's hand, a bottle of scalding hot blood appeared.

This is blood from a level 7 Charizard. That's right, the scientific name of this sub-dragon is "Charizard," quite casually.

Its ancestor was the Fire King Dragon, which is the most common fire-type power-type legendary dragon, and therefore its sub-dragon species are relatively common.

This fire-breathing dragon was the guardian of a wizarding organization in Middle-earth, and rarely sold its bloodline essence to outsiders. Fortunately, Gandalf knew the witch Soraya, a high-ranking member of the Tower of Sauron.

It was just a matter of Soraya saying a word, and the organization delivered it right to their door. Of course, Gandalf still offered double the price to show his sincerity. Bloodline essence, a renewable resource, wasn't expensive; double the price was only a few hundred thousand Talcons.

Li Wei directly administered the medicine into his body. Under the influence of his powerful blood, the vessel was quickly evaporated, leaving only the medicine inside, which was then transported to his limbs and bones through his blood.

"Level 7, here I come!"

……

Middle-earth.

Fire Dragon Shop.

in the secret room.

The Holy Infant opened its eyes, a glimmer of divine light flashing and disappearing in an instant.

He looked into his mind and saw that the little soul figure was already three feet tall.

"With 4000 points of mental power and 6 witch marks, I've finally reached the sixth ring of perfection. After acquiring the Ice and Fire Saint Body, my cultivation speed is indeed different from before. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the two Morning Star-level treasures directly boosted my mental power, and then there's the long-term consumption of precious fire dates."

The current Holy Infant is 1000 points away from the upper limit of his spiritual power and halfway to achieving the required 12 witch marks, but he is confident he can complete it within two hundred years. Keep in mind, it has only been less than three hundred years since he advanced to the sixth level of the environmental realm. This speed truly befits his title as a top-tier genius.

His previous achievement of ranking first on the Ancient Tower list, alongside those top geniuses, was largely due to the power of external objects like magical artifacts.

After refining the [Arm of the Flame King] and the [Eye of the Cold King] and reshaping his Ice and Fire Saint Body, he is now a true top genius.

After decades of seclusion and cultivation, the Holy Infant, who had not forged any artifacts for a long time, took out the materials sent by the original body.

He discovered that if he couldn't forge weapons, he would feel an irresistible urge to do so; perhaps this was what passion was all about.

"This [Heart of Jealousy] can be combined with my [Purple Sacred Cauldron] to retrain. After capturing the enemy into the cauldron, the [Jealousy Poison] within their heart can be released, causing them to fall into an endless nightmare of jealousy, unable to extricate themselves, and unknowingly dissolving away."

"This [Liver of Wrath] can be combined with the [Pouch of Gluttony], fusing the fats of gluttony with the fire of a raging liver. Once activated, the enemy will be plunged into a fiery hell, consumed by rage, and spontaneously combust to death!"

The Holy Infant was experienced in weapon crafting and could immediately identify the most suitable uses for these crafting materials.

Inside the weapon-refining room.

Alyssandra and Ashe are listening attentively to Silverbeard and Bronzefang's explanation.

Suddenly.

Alexander's communication device rang.

After she finished reading it, she asked:

"Ashe, Senior Golden Dragon asked us if we want to return to the Realm of Sleeping Dragons."

Ashe thought for a moment and said:

"You decide. I'm going to stay with you anyway... But I don't think it's necessary to go back. We're already seasoned veterans in the Sixth Ring, enough to protect ourselves. There's no need to go back."

Alexandra laughed:

"Then we won't go back. The Sleeping Dragon Realm is such a small place, how can it compare to the Central Plains? We sisters are determined to get the rewards from the Demon Slayer Ranking!"

Of course, she also knew that Mr. Jinlong was worried about their safety.

However, this is Gondor, the center of Middle-earth.

The city is teeming with powerful individuals; in terms of safety, it is even safer than the Sleeping Dragon Realm.

Most importantly, after two hundred years of living together, they no longer want to leave the Fire Dragon Shop.

If they leave, wouldn't Master Huolong, that taciturn fellow who only knows how to forge weapons, be very lonely?

In the final silence before the bloody battle, everyone was striving to become stronger, making their final preparations.

The Tower of Dawn.

Viktor had just finished cultivating the 7th elemental soul spell. His mental strength was already at its limit, and he spent most of his time researching and learning spells, so his progress was naturally very fast.

"Now I am a sixth-ring wizard in the strict sense. After imprinting eight more wizard marks and reaching perfection, I can advance to the seventh ring."

The original master also gave him 12 marks to pass, but Victor felt that a man should be tough on himself, so he planned to brand him with 15 marks.

Anyway, besides learning spells and magic arrays, he didn't have much else to do.

As for the Way of Qi?

All you need to do is practice your special skills, complete your daily tasks, and have a moment of enlightenment every now and then. You can cultivate very quickly; it's really not difficult. With a spiritual embryo physique and the inheritance of the White Emperor's son, you can be that carefree.

In fact.

The Qi-based practice emphasizes going with the flow, or in other words, a Buddhist approach; it's not about forcing things.

If one's mindset and timing are not right, even with diligent practice, one cannot make great progress and may even go astray or go in the wrong direction.

This point was also realized by the officials of the Wizard Council who had studied the Qi Sect for a long time. The Qi Sect has no rules like those of wizards; cultivation and comprehension depend entirely on the individual.

"Master, someone is looking for you."

The subordinate relayed the message.

Viktor released his senses, then smiled slightly and said:

"understood."

on the street.

A young-looking male sorcerer, dressed in black robes and surrounded by eight secret swords, spoke in a loud voice:

"Hello, senior Viktor."

Victor said:

"Why are you here again?"

Link said firmly and confidently.

"I would like to have another duel with my senior in the Secret Sword Technique."

Viktor chuckled to himself.

"Can."

He suppressed his own cultivation level to the same level as Link's, the fifth-ring perfect realm, and then casually took out a set of fourth-ring secret sword artifacts.

On the training ground.

Link clapped his hands, and the eight secret swords, under his control, soared into the sky, forming streaks of sword light that created an eight-pointed star formation.

"Eight Directions Sword Rain!"

With a wave of his hand, thousands upon thousands of golden elemental sword energies shot down from the sky, their power terrifying.

Viktor nodded slightly.

With a flick of his finger, thirteen four-ringed secret swords shot into the sky!

"Celestial Star Sword Formation!"

Rumble!

The sword energy clashed with the sword energy, sparking endless sparks.

In an instant.

The "Sword Falls in All Directions" technique was broken, and thirteen faintly visible celestial stars twinkled high in the sky.

Victor chuckled:

"If you can withstand one of my sword strikes, I will give you a top-grade five-ring secret sword."

Link said:

"Senior, is this really true?"

Victor said:

"Yes."

Link was filled with heroic spirit. He changed his sword formation again. The eight-pointed star pattern shone brightly, and eight secret swords were inserted into the ground. Streams of sword energy formed a magic array barrier, protecting him in the center.

"Come on, senior!"

Victor tapped his finger lightly.

In the sky, thirteen stars intertwine to form the outline of a giant sword.

"Shattered Star!"

boom!

A phantom image of a giant sword, hundreds of meters long, instantly appeared above Link's head!

Link looked nervous; after sensing this powerful aura, he felt somewhat uncertain.

"I believe in my sword!"

He exerted all his strength to push the sword formation barrier to its limit!

next moment.

The giant sword shattered but did not fall onto the barrier.

Victor said:

"Good, you passed."

He was joking. How could that kid possibly withstand his sword formation attack? Even if he deliberately suppressed his cultivation level to the fifth ring, it was impossible.

Link snapped out of his daze; that attack had been utterly shocking.

"Compared to this sword formation, my Eight-Pointed Star is far inferior."

Victor said:

"I'll ask you one more time, do you want to be my student?"

Although the Tower of Dawn has recruited many students, none of them have been actively accepted as disciples by Viktor.

Link is the only one he's taken a liking to in recent years. But this kid has his own ideas; he asked him before, and Link refused.

Link said:

"Thank you for your kind offer, senior, but I'm worried that if I become someone else's apprentice, it will affect my own swordsmanship style. I'll figure it out myself."

Victor handed Link a top-grade secret sword and said:

"Good, then stick to your own path, and you will become a master of the secret sword. By the way, I suggest that when you have time, you go to the Ancient Dragon Continent and take the Qi Sect's Heart-Searching Test; perhaps you will open up a new world for yourself."

Link said:

"Thank you, senior. I won't bother you anymore. I've already registered for the Demon Slayer List."

Victor said:

"Alright, learning through killing is the fastest way to grow, but too much of anything is bad, so safety comes first."

Link felt a warmth in his heart.

He didn't want to become Viktor's apprentice, but he had a deep respect for him.

He bowed deeply, his body merging into the secret sword, and he vanished into thin air.

"Senior, the next time we meet, I'll be at the sixth ring, and I'd like to formally challenge you."

Victor laughed:

"Come on then."

Based on his spiritual intuition, he felt that Link might have a "heart of gold and stone," and that the boy's future was immeasurable.

"I've pretty much mastered some of the key points of the Heavenly Star Sword Formation; now I'm just waiting to refine the real sword formation after reaching the seventh ring."

……

Two years later.

Nora, 213.

The endless sea.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm.

Once, this place was devastated by a legendary forbidden spell because the Abyss Well was born here.

Magma ocean.

It was here that Li Wei discovered a wild warp portal, but it was later discovered and destroyed by the Wizarding Council.

This day.

Beneath the magma ocean, bubbles began to rise continuously, and wisps of faint black gas drifted away.

"Sizzle."

With a tearing sound, a dark crack continued to expand, eventually becoming a giant, black well with a diameter of hundreds of miles.

"Hehehe, Endless Sea, I, Tidus, the Thousand-Eyed Lord, have returned! Tremble, you insects!"

A demon god exuding a terrifying level nine aura appeared.

It stands 10,000 meters tall, and its body is covered with 1024 ferocious, blood-red eyes that radiate an eerie light.

Behind it came the roars and howls of countless demons.

Tidus, the Lord of a Thousand Eyes, formerly known as the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, was sealed away by Gargamel. After being broken free by the Mad Beast Wizard, he fortuitously advanced to the ninth level. He was later killed by the Great Wizard and escaped back to the abyss through the Well of the Abyss. That well was then destroyed by a legendary wizard.

Centuries later, it returned in triumph, its aura even stronger than before, suggesting its strength had also increased.

The Lord of a Thousand Eyes proclaimed:

"My minions! Charge! With your demonic blood, corrupt this world, and let the will of the abyss permeate Nora!"

Thousands upon thousands of demons poured forth from the well of the abyss.

A wizard who happened to be practicing in this place was instantly torn apart and devoured.

"Hahaha!"

The Lord of a Thousand Eyes roared with laughter that echoed through the heavens and earth. Compared to the abyss, it still preferred the sweet air of the wizarding world.

High above the heavens.

A towering figure in black robes appeared, his face stern, standing with his hands behind his back—it was the Black Abyss Walker.

"Wrongfully executed in the dark prison!"

A colossal black city, spanning thousands of miles, suddenly appeared.

The colossal city seemed to stand on a black sea, with towering black waves crashing against its walls all around!

A total of 66 witch marks flickered within the giant city, each radiating a vast aura!

boom!

The giant city collapsed with a deafening roar.

The Lord of a Thousand Eyes exclaimed in surprise:

"A Grand Wizard at the Perfection level?"

Without hesitation, it unleashed its full power, all its eyes opening wide, unleashing beams of jet-black light—any one of which could instantly kill a sixth-ring wizard. These beams merged together, transforming into a towering, inky black pillar of light that seemed to reach the heavens!

Rumble!

The giant city and the pillar of light collided.

Click!

The pillar of light shattered inch by inch, and the giant city fell like a tidal wave, enveloping the Lord of a Thousand Eyes.

The Thousand-Eyed Lord's ten-thousand-meter-tall body collided within it, causing the city walls to rumble, yet it remained standing.

Endless black water surged from all parts of the city, engulfing the Lord of a Thousand Eyes.

The 66 witch marks shone brightly, connecting together like a magic array to form a terrifying suppressive force!

"You are too weak, not even worthy to forge my [Seven Deadly Sins Blade]... Return to the abyss, Tidus!"

The Lord of a Thousand Eyes exploded, turning into endless blood mist and demonic energy. A true spirit filled with deep resentment escaped into the abyss and disappeared.

"I will be back!"

The Black Abyss Walker casually annihilated the demon minions and sent a message:

"Senior Rego, you can destroy this well now."

He left.

Tidus is unkillable; his true spirit is protected by the will of the abyss. Even the underworld cannot hold him.

This is why Gargamel went to such lengths to seal Tidus; rather than killing and resurrecting it, sealing was better. But even sealed, it was an unstable element, easily attracting trouble. So the Abyss Walker simply sent it back to be reborn.

Anyway, who knows when I'll be able to grow to level nine again, so it won't affect the Blood Battle.

After the Black Abyss Walker left.

High in the sky, a pair of enormous, illusory dragon eyes suddenly opened, each one a hundred miles in diameter, like twin stars in the sky.

A pair of enormous faces, resembling both humans and dragons, appeared, blotting out two syllables.

"Dragon Flame!"

boom!

A towering, crimson pillar of fire pierced through the endless sea and sky!

If it's in a dark place, you can find it.

A flaming spear, seemingly emerging from nothingness, pierced the surface of Nora, and invisible ripples stirred the clouds of the endless sea, spreading outwards!

a few days later.

The wizards of the Endless Sea all felt that intense fluctuation.

The Witch's House.

The old witch stretched out her hand, and goosebumps fell to one side.

"The legend has made his move... The bloody battle has begun."

Where the abyss well once stood, the ocean of lava has been widened and deepened.

The wellhead has disappeared.

Dragonflame Witch Rego.

This is one of the two legends of the Burning School, who has mastered extremely powerful dragonfire magic and once participated in the Great Expedition of the Five Realms.

The legendary class is [Fire Dragon Venerable], the demiplane is [Extreme Heat Hell], and the legendary honorific is [Venerable who commands all fires, who burns away evil dragon flames]!

……

Middle-earth.

Fire Dragon Shop.

During a break from refining the weapon, the Holy Infant gazed at the newspaper that Alyssa had brought him.

[Soren Daily: Bloodshed Begins, the Entire World Enters a State of War!]

[Blood War Daily Report: Recently, the Dragonflame Shaman destroyed a well in the Endless Sea. The Black Abyss Walker slays the Thousand-Eyed Lord Tidus, marking the beginning of the Blood War Year...]

Alexandra said eagerly:

"The bloody battle has begun."

Holy Infant Path:

"Yes, everyone, are you ready?"

Ash said:

"Master, in the early stages of this bloody battle, our Fire Dragon Shop will definitely have a place on the Sixth Ring Wizard Demon Slayer Ranking!"

Holy Infant Path:

"Yes, battle achievements are important, but safety comes first."

During my seclusion.

Gandalf and Victor also saw the news that the bloody battle had begun, and they went to the Dragon Shop.

"This bloody battle couldn't have come earlier or later, it just so happened to come when I was in seclusion."

"With the Knight of a Hundred Flowers protecting me, I should be fine."

"From now on, Gandalf, you should try to get more information about the Balrogs' whereabouts from Soraya and Laplace. If there are any early-stage level seven Balrogs, the three of us working together should be able to take them down. We need to hunt at least four level seven Balrogs to gather enough materials for the breakthrough potion."

"Leave this matter to me. If the military has any Balrog corpses, we can buy them."

The mature clone has already learned to proactively prepare the materials for the breakthrough potion.

……

The Dark Land.

Deep space surrounding the Nora dimension, a meteorite ruin.

In the void, a pitch-black rift appeared, revealing a colossal abyss well with a diameter of ten thousand miles.

Four towering black demonic mountains, each a thousand miles high, emerged from within.

On the Demon Mountain, four imposing figures were entrenched. Their auras were so powerful that they could distort the surrounding space, and the demonic energy they emitted wreaked havoc over a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

"It seems that directly opening a path to the Abyss Well leading to Nora is no longer feasible. The Wizard Council appears to have acquired some powerful monitoring capabilities, and Tidus has already been destroyed."

"The progress of the wizarding civilization is indeed visible to the naked eye. They did not have such methods in the last bloody war."

"The more it's like this, the more excited we become, isn't that right? I have no interest in weak wizarding civilizations."

"Should we make a move now?"

"Don't rush. The wizarding world now boasts twelve legends. All of us combined might not be a match for the Blazing Sun Wizard alone. Let's wait for the demon kings deeper within to resurrect. We'll use cannon fodder to deplete the wizards' strength, allowing demonic blood to fully soak every inch of Nora's land and sea, transforming it into a true demonic land!"

"That's true. If we go directly into Nora, we will inevitably be affected by the world's will and won't be able to use our full strength. That would be a huge disadvantage."

"Don't rush, enjoy the feast slowly. This is Sauron's homeland, and that guy must have some tricks up his sleeve in Nora. The previous few bloody battles were too superficial to test the true strength of the wizarding world. This time, we should be able to see their true power."

……

Three years later.

Nora, 216.

A bloody battle that lasted 4 years.

There is one year left before the Dark Tower opens. Li Wei will be 640 years old this year.

Over the past three years, small to medium-sized Abyssal Wells have been constantly emerging throughout the wizarding world. They are most concentrated in the Endless Sea, but they are quickly destroyed by legendary wizards.

Despite this, quite a few demons still managed to escape.

They spread throughout the wizarding world like scurrying rats.

The demons themselves are not the most troublesome thing. What is most troublesome about them is their demonic energy.

The demons used demonic energy and secret arts to influence the local humans and creatures, creating monsters, and the demons caused trouble in some mortal settlements.

Although they were quickly wiped out by the stationed wizards, they also brought about a minor but significant demonic disaster.

The most severe demonic calamities occurred in the three vast regions of the human world, the Endless Sea, and the Central Continent.

This was merely the prelude to the Abyss's probing of the wizarding world.

The wizards knew perfectly well that the real terror was yet to come; they were watching from the sidelines, waiting to take the stage.

The release of the Demon Slayer List, coupled with the prior publicity and promotion, greatly mobilized the wizards' enthusiasm for the war.

One wizard after another embarked on their own demon-hunting journeys, and various folk organizations related to demons, such as [Demon Hunters], [Demon Hunter Guilds], [Demon Hunter Markets], and [Demon Hunter Wizard Orders], sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

While demons are dangerous, many of their materials are also top-grade ingredients for alchemy and crafting. The wizarding world has long had a complete purification system for demonic energy, and its utilization of demons is far more advanced than that of black beasts.

In the Middle-earth, some medium to large-sized witch cities have not yet encountered any demonic calamities.

The demons weren't stupid either; going to places that were clearly guarded by powerful figures would only lead to their deaths.

They primarily target the outer ring, remote, and even ordinary areas, wreaking havoc in the region.

Ancient Dragon Continent.

Off the sea.

Hundreds of plumes of black smoke streaked across the sea, within which were a group of demonic figures resembling bats, their strengths varying greatly.

This is the [Pig-nosed Bat Demon], one of the most common lower-level demons in the Abyss. Very few are strong; most are low-level, and even mid-level ones are rare. However, their numbers are exceptionally large; even a small colony can contain hundreds.

Having just set foot on the Ancient Dragon Continent, they sensed the rich aura of life and, driven by their killing instincts, flew towards the gathering place.

High above the heavens.

The miniature reconnaissance creatures sensed the presence of demonic energy, locked onto its location, and transmitted the coordinates to the combat-type mechanical creatures and the central cluster system. The central system then relayed the information to the various battle groups.

In front of Temple Square.

The Blood Knight convened a meeting of all the knights, and solemnly stated:

"Everyone, today, the Ancient Dragon Continent has also been invaded by demons. The Dark Moon Knights have already led a team to deal with it. From now on, everyone must be ready for battle at any time. Unless there are special circumstances, such as those who have reported for a breakthrough in seclusion, everyone else must maintain open communication during their daily cultivation. In addition, everyone must register for the official Demon Slayer Ranking. Our organization will provide additional resources, combat skills, and other rewards to those who excel on the Demon Slayer Ranking, in addition to the official rewards."

During the Blood Knight's speech, the leaders of the Valkyrie Temple, the Tower of Dawn, the Ancient Dragon Empire, and the Beast Paradise also encouraged their members to fight against demons and protect their homeland through various means, thus boosting everyone's confidence.

Edge of the continent.

boom!

With the roar of machinery, a salvo of artillery fire left the horde of pig-nosed bat demons almost wiped out.

The Darkmoon Knight led his men, swiftly slaying the other demons, and the battle was over in no time.

His expression was solemn. This was just the devil's first test, nothing to worry about, not even a small fry.

Subsequently, magical disasters became increasingly frequent throughout the wizarding world.

The Ancient Dragon Continent was not spared either. Fortunately, the well-trained and prepared battle groups annihilated the enemy with extremely low casualties. The number of demons invading the Ancient Dragon Continent is relatively small, and so far, no one from any of the major organizations has yet made it into the top ranks of the demon-slaying list.

Six months later.

Ancient Dragon Continent.

An overseas island.

The Tower of Summer Flowers stands majestically, with hundreds of flowers cultivating themselves at its top, monitoring all directions.

Suddenly.

She looked toward the center of the island, where Li Wei had secluded himself.

The fire elemental power within a radius of nearly thirty miles began to churn, forming an endless sea of ​​crimson flames.

Accompanied by the roar of a giant dragon, a lifelike crimson dragon with a wingspan of over a thousand meters began to emerge.

Baihua's expression changed slightly.

"Even a knight advancing to the seventh rank needs to overcome the Blood Calamity?"
