Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 456 Sweeping Through the Mysterious Realm! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The endless sea.

The Witch's House.

Triss was also prepared.

Five hundred years have passed like a dream.

Triss has now been away from advancing to the seventh ring for over four hundred years.

Not long ago, it celebrated its 1300th birthday.

At the Bloodbath Auction, she spent a fortune to buy the Morning Star artifact, the Ring of the Sea King.

After refining it, his cultivation level improved further, and he even obtained the special water-type talent [Sea King's Ambition].

To date, she has refined four Morning Star level artifacts, as well as several Earth and Sky level artifacts.

She was born with the innate talent of being the child of the water element.

With the blessing of these wondrous objects, his talent reached a new level, and his cultivation over the years went smoothly.

Unfortunately, the Ring of the Sea King did not give birth to any accompanying spirit creatures.

However, Triss was already content.

With the Blue Knight and the Black Queen as her two great protectors, what more could she possibly want?

In fact, Triss felt that her cultivation had become much smoother after meeting Levi.

Perhaps it was because of Li Wei's good luck.

Time has passed, and she has now been branded with 6 seventh-ring witch marks, plus 12 sixth-ring witch marks, for a total of 18!

In terms of sheer number of witch marks, she is among the best of the senior wizards in the seventh ring.

His mental strength had reached 10,000 points, which was only a little over 2,000 points away from the limit of the seventh ring.

Based on her calculations over the years, she should be able to advance to the eighth ring around 500 years old, before she turns 1800.

Of course, all of this is predicated on the premise that one successfully gets promoted.

However, she also seriously considered Baihua and Liwei's suggestion to increase the number of witch marks.

Her idea was...

Give yourself five or six hundred years, before you turn two thousand, to imprint the seven-ring witch mark as much as possible, and see where your limits are.

In short, if that fails, she must ensure that she advances to the eighth-circle wizard before she turns two thousand.

Even after the eighth ring, there are still two thousand years to pursue the next crucial realm!

Compared to the threshold between the seventh and eighth ring roads, the transition from the eighth to the ninth ring road is an insurmountable chasm, with a difficulty level that is incomparable.

Two thousand years was the safety line she calculated.

Moreover, advancing from the eighth ring to the ninth ring requires overcoming terrifying calamities, all of which require a long period of preparation.

"Hopefully, this trip to the Dragon Ruins will be very fruitful."

Triss straightened her clothes, put on a light veil hat, and casually draped a silk scarf around her fair neck.

She took out the token, which vanished in the light.

……

The continent abandoned by the gods.

Alyssandra and Ashe also stopped their demon hunting.

After decades of demon hunting, the two women have grown rapidly and are now among the most outstanding sixth-ring wizards.

He has made great progress in his mindset, combat experience, and spell mastery.

If it weren't for the bloody battle, they would hardly have had such a good opportunity to hone their skills.

After all, the wizarding world is too powerful to engage in a protracted war with the surrounding civilizations; it's always a one-sided crushing victory.

Just in the last few days, they have accumulated 500 million battle merits.

I've also managed to grind my way into the top 200 of the Level 7 Demon Slayer Ranking.

However, they haven't had time to exchange for the Treasure of Truth yet.

After refining the Morning Star artifact, they will follow Master Fire Dragon's example and continue their secluded cultivation to strive for the seventh ring.

After all, at their current pace, it's clearly impossible for them to accumulate 5000 million to exchange for the Bright Moon Treasure in a short period of time.

Continuing to hunt demons is definitely not as efficient as going into seclusion for cultivation.

Once you reach the seventh ring, the speed at which you gain battle merits will naturally increase dramatically.

At that time, we can try to acquire the rare treasures of the bright moon.

On this day, the two women returned to Gondor.

The master is still in seclusion.

It seems the master won't be coming out unless he advances to the seventh ring.

Inside the weapon-refining workshop, Golden Eyes and Silver Beard were working feverishly.

Some studied the blueprints, while others manufactured the parts.

A group of five-ringed artifact makers and alchemists assisted them.

They are researching alchemical organisms.

Alchemy and weapon crafting are essentially the same, and it's easy for a Yuanhun weapon crafter to get started.

What they were developing were the three types of six-ring blueprints from "The Alchemist's Cottage of Flamel":

【Ice God Soldier】, 【Gold God Soldier】, 【Thunder God Soldier】.

According to the master, these three sixth-ring alchemy creatures are indispensable for crafting a seventh-ring Titan.

At that time, the seven-ring alchemical creature will be personally refined by the master.

Back in the secret room, the two women took out the Dragon Scale Token.

Alexandra said:

"The master probably won't be going this time, but with the two of us working together, we have nothing to fear below the seventh ring."

Ash said:

"The Dragon Ruins and the Submerged Ancient City have a deep connection. Now that those guys have betrayed the wizarding world, they will surely act even more ruthlessly. We must be careful."

……

The continent abandoned by the gods.

Inside a certain underground cave.

A wizard dressed in a gray robe and wearing a hood, whose face was obscured, sat cross-legged in the void.

A long black whip was wrapped around his waist, and the phantom of an ancient black city appeared behind him, sometimes visible and sometimes not.

It was the Immersed City Lord, a powerful figure who had long disappeared from the wizarding world and was at the peak of the eighth ring.

"Now that we have the Demonic Dragon Whip, it's time to awaken the sealed soul of the Demonic Dragon. Whether I can advance to the rank of Grand Wizard depends on this... In any case, from this day forward, the Dragon Ruins will become history!"

……

The Mysterious Realm of Dragon Ruins.

Five hundred years later, Li Wei once again set foot on this black, demonic land.

He didn't bring any clones this time. With his strength, and considering the situation last time, he should have no problem at all.

The last time it was opened, it seemed that the strongest were only seventh-ring wizards, and no eighth-ring wizards participated.

Moreover, he now has Danis, who is at the late stage of level seven.

Even if there were an eighth-ring expert with a sixth-ring clone, it wouldn't be of much help.

"Five hundred years ago, I was just a fifth-circle wizard..."

He sighed, but didn't rush into action.

Not long after, a figure descended silently and appeared beside Li Wei.

It was Ms. Triss.

She smiled faintly, her tone leisurely.

"Your skills have improved again. Congratulations on advancing to the seventh ring senior level. I'm no longer qualified to be your teacher, haha, since your level is now on par with mine..."

Whenever she sees Li Wei's growth, she wonders what she has been doing for thousands of years... But in reality, she has already tried her best.

Li Wei smiled slightly.

"I think you are not far from reaching the seventh level of perfection. Whether you can be a teacher is not based on your level of attainment. Your kindness is more important to me than anything else."

Putting everything else aside, Li Wei has to thank the lady properly just for the breakthrough in medicine.

Along the way, Triss basically provided him with the formulas for various demonic sequences.

If Li Wei hadn't encountered such a benefactor, and had gone to collect the materials himself, he would likely have faced many more setbacks and wasted a lot of time.

Triss didn't say anything, and after a moment of silence, she said:

"Let's go then. Let's finish exploring as soon as possible and return to the surface. I heard that last time some unlucky guy was killed by the mysterious power in the Dragon Ruins because he missed the time. Even though we've advanced to the seventh ring, we still need to be careful."

Li Wei nodded and snapped his fingers.

A flying golden mouse appeared and landed on his shoulder; it was Ah Jin.

Its tiny, bean-like eyes looked at Triss, blinking.

Triss asked in surprise:

"Is this a companion spirit?"

Li Weidao:

"Yes, it's a little trinket I got from refining a Great Earth-level rare item in my early years. It's nothing special, but it has a slight function for treasure hunting."

Upon hearing that he was just a little toy, Ajin protested vehemently, squeaking loudly.

Triss laughed:

"So cute."

She gently touched Ah Jin, who hid behind Li Wei's neck, looking wary.

Li Wei laughed heartily.

"Let's go. With this little guy leading the way, we might have some good luck. If you find any treasures that you need, ma'am, just tell me. Don't be shy."

Triss, who was teasing Arkin, chuckled:

"You're overthinking it. I'm not embarrassed. I'm not one of those shy young witches."

The two figures gradually moved away and disappeared into the mist.

With the experience from their previous exploration, Levi and Triss's journey went very smoothly.

They did not linger on the surface caves, but continued downwards.

During this time, occasionally some demons and monsters would attack them without thinking, but they were all easily killed.

Li Wei was surprised to find that killing the demons in this strange realm actually earned him military merit.

However, the demons here are too sparsely distributed, and there aren't many demon lords, so he didn't bother to farm them.

With the now-advanced Ajin leading the way, overall, the gains were slightly better than last time.

Many rare herbs with five or six rings have been discovered.

Levi gave Triss whatever she needed directly.

He kept the rest for himself.

However, these kinds of herbs were no longer of much value to him.

But this strange realm only opens once every five hundred years, so it would be a waste not to take it.

Because of the relatively low quality of herbs, most of them only have a lifespan of a few hundred years.

If they are not picked now, they will wither and die on their own.

Seven days later.

Levi and Triss appeared in a large underground cave.

In the distance, there seemed to be fluctuations of fighting, which appeared to be a battle at the Yuanhun level.

Triss said:

"I recognize this place. I found a Demon Dragon Grass here before, but someone beat me to it."

Li Wei's face lit up with joy.

"Thank you for informing me, madam. The situation ahead is unclear; I'll go and investigate first."

Triss said:

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

She knew that Li Wei had a strong ability to conceal his presence and could quietly approach the vicinity of a seventh-ring wizard, making him the most suitable person to investigate the situation.

the other side.

Li Wei's hermit runes flashed, and the sound of metal clashing resounded through the sky.

High in the sky, two figures, one in red and one in blue, were fighting a wizard dressed in black robes.

The black-robed wizard exuded an imposing aura, clearly a seventh-ring ordinary wizard.

"Alyssadian and Ashe are here too."

It's clear that the two women have made considerable progress in their cultivation over the years.

Together, they were able to briefly fight a seventh-ring wizard to a draw.

However, Li Wei could tell that the two women were already performing beyond their usual level and couldn't maintain that level for long.

The two great sorcerers, Queen Yanlong and Hanlong Wochuan, confronted the black-robed sorcerer's thousand-meter-long swordfish sorcerer.

This is the Witch's Sword - Deep Sea Sword.

According to the shaman, Li Wei remembered that he had seen this person's information on the bounty list.

His name appears to be "Deep Sea Swordsman Otto," and he is a wanted criminal who was submerged in the ancient city.

A rare item worth 1 Morning Star level, and 1 million Tai Stones.

This secretly pleased him.

The guaranteed reward for this Dragon Ruins Mystery Realm event is already available.

If we kill this person, we'll make a killing.

The Deep Sea Swordsman, with an air of nonchalance, chuckled:

"Not bad, as expected of a genius dragonborn witch, you were able to hold out against me for so long, but it was all in vain. I advise you to surrender obediently and sign the master-servant contract. The giant ship of wizard civilization is about to sink. Under the dual pressure of the blood war and the Council of All Races, its collapse is only a matter of time. Why not stay by my side as maids and serve me? I can guarantee your safety."

Alexandra laughed:

"Ugly people often cause trouble; don't you even look at yourself?"

She remained calm. With her trump cards, even if she was no match for the black-robed wizard, she was confident she could leave with Ashe.

She and Ashe chose to fight him simply to take this opportunity to test their own strength.

Ashe's lips curled up, and she even mocked him, a rare occurrence for her:

"That's right. We sisters spend all our time with young talents like Master Huolong, so our standards are already very high. You old codger with one foot in the grave, you should just give up."

Her personality has become much more cheerful than before, and she even cracks jokes occasionally.

On one hand, it was due to the influence of Alyssa Draco, and on the other hand, it might be because her life at the Dragon Shop for hundreds of years was very fulfilling.

The Deep Sea Swordsman's face turned ashen. As a seventh-ring wizard, he had been humiliated. He roared in anger:

"You two filthy bitches, you didn't seize the opportunity I gave you, so you'd better die!"

He raised his hand and summoned a jet-black secret sword that emitted a ghostly light.

This is his Horcrux, the Eye of the Black Sea!

Splash!

As the longsword flew into the sky, hundreds and thousands of black eyes appeared in the sky.

Hundreds of black rays shot out from it, completely blocking the two women's path below.

A crimson scale appeared between Alyssa Draco's brows, shimmering with light, and the phantom of a crimson dragon emerged.

The phantom dragon devoured the two women, and Alyssandra chuckled:

"I'm gone, old man. Choosing to trust the Council of All Races was the worst decision you ever made in your life, the Ancient City of Submerged."

With so many legendary wizards in the wizarding world, as well as a large number of core forces such as the Three Gondorians, the Lord of Twilight Temple, and the Thunder of Destruction, how could they possibly lose to the Council of All Races, a bunch of rats who only dare to ambush young wizards and bully the weak?

The black ray shot into the dragon's phantom, but disappeared without a trace.

The two women rode the dragon and flew swiftly toward the entrance to the underground cave.

Enraged, the deep-sea swordsman transformed into a black light and gave chase.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

The entire underground cave seemed to be trembling.

On the horizon ahead, a giant standing three thousand meters tall, with two horns on its head and covered in black scales, stood there.

The giant grinned, gripping his spiked club and stretching his muscles.

As it warmed up, the heavens and earth trembled.

That undisguised aura of a late-stage level seven cultivator stirred up dust over a radius of dozens of miles.

"What the hell is this thing?"

The Deep Sea Swordsman was terrified and immediately stopped.

Swordfish Wuxiang slapped the water, creating huge waves, and shot away.

A black secret sword surrounded him, protecting him in the center, with layers of force fields surrounding him.

He suppressed the urge to shatter the void and flee, and frantically ran towards one of the intersections.

Beneath the Demon Land, traversing the void, one might accidentally stumble into the Demon Land, disturbing that unknown and mysterious power.

This is why even Yuanhun Wizards can only fly normally.

"Giant's Ultimate Technique: Mountain Explosion!"

Danis wielded a spiked club, his arm bulging with veins, and with a swing, the sky and earth changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light!

A black shockwave swept across, obliterating everything in its path.

The swordfish witch was torn to shreds instantly, without any suspense.

The black secret sword also cracked and flew back to its master with a mournful cry.

boom!

The shockwave continued to advance, cutting through ravines stretching for over two hundred miles, breaking through mountains and cracking open plains, its momentum unstoppable!

At the end of the ravine, the Deep Sea Swordsman was slammed against the wall of the cave, his force field shattered, and blood flowed from his seven orifices.

With just one strike, this ordinary seventh-ring wizard was severely injured.

The giant's strength is simply terrifying.

Even Li Wei was somewhat surprised.

"Danis's compatibility with this corpse demon's body is too perfect. After my special refinement, this corpse demon's strength is in no way inferior to the dragon-born giant in its previous life. It can even use the giant race's secret techniques. It was worth the huge sum of money I spent to create it. With this corpse demon, I might be able to put up a fight against an eighth-ring wizard."

The Deep Sea Swordsman transformed into a stream of water, then, after becoming elemental, continued flying towards the exit.

Unexpectedly, the exit he chose was the one where Triss was.

Triss smiled and said:

"Deep Sea Swordsman, it's been a long time. It seems you've brought quite a few people to the Ancient City."

The Deep Sea Swordsman's expression changed drastically.

"Triss?!"

Behind Triss, a giant black serpent stretching for a thousand meters descended from the sky, accompanied by a torrent of black water.

The Black Queen roared out and engaged in a fierce battle with the Deep Sea Swordsman.

at the same time.

A heavily armored knight, clad in blue armor and with a resolute face, wielded a greatsword and unleashed a sword strike imbued with endless water elemental energy!

With the Black Queen and the Blue Knight deployed simultaneously, coupled with Triss's advanced level of cultivation at the seventh ring, the Deep Sea Swordsman was utterly powerless to resist.

Not long after, accompanied by a wail, a light blue primordial spirit flew out.

Triss gripped the long black whip and coiled it around.

Li Wei's figure appeared leisurely, and he grabbed the soul of the Deep Sea Swordsman.

The Deep Sea Swordsman was greatly alarmed when he saw Li Wei.

"It's you? Lord of Twilight Palace!"

Li Wei remained calm as he escorted him into the Ancient Banyan Wonderland.

He arrived at the seaside of the fairyland and chose a place where the water element was most abundant.

"Yes, this place is suitable as your grave."

The Deep Sea Swordsman panicked.

"Lord of the Twilight Palace, please don't kill me! I know the core secrets of the Dragon Ruins, and it's of utmost importance!"

Li Wei looked at him calmly.

"Oh, is that so?"

The power of the crimson dragon surged forth, engulfing its primordial spirit.

Before long, the Deep Sea Swordsmen were enslaved.

"Owner."

Li Wei said calmly:

"Tell me, what secret is it?"

The Deep Sea Swordsman said:

"This place is where an extremely powerful legendary dragon fell. That dragon committed countless evils in its lifetime, and was a general who followed the demons in their invasion of the wizarding world during the Blood War. It was later slain by a legendary wizard. This legendary wizard was the first lord of our Submerged Ancient City… Of course, at that time, we weren't yet a Black Wizarding Organization. To reuse the dragon's remains for the benefit of future generations, the first lord sealed the dragon's corpse in a massive, eerie realm. This became the Dragon Ruins Eerie Realm. He used the dragon's scales to create a batch of keys to enter the realm, which were then distributed throughout the wizarding world. He used a complete dragon skeleton, along with other rare materials, to forge the level-nine treasure, [Submerged Ancient City], which is the location of our organization's base. The most crucial element, the dragon's soul, was sealed deep within the Dragon Ruins Eerie Realm, serving as the power source for its operation. As far as I know, although tens of thousands of years have passed, the dragon's soul most likely still exists."

Li Wei frowned and said:

"I see. No wonder so many of you who are immersed in the ancient city come in every time."

This Dragon Ruins is far more mysterious than he imagined.

Who would have thought that the people who built this place were the ancestors who submerged the ancient city?

However, the descendants of this legendary wizard who cared for the world gradually became dark wizards.

Now, they have completely broken with the wizarding civilization.

As time goes by and circumstances change, life is unpredictable.

The Way of the Deep Sea Swordsman:

"Master, the City Lord of Immersion has also entered the Dragon Ruins Mysterious Realm."

The Deep Sea Swordsman's words sent a jolt through Li Wei.

"What? Where is he now?"

The Way of the Deep Sea Swordsman:

"I don't know the specifics either. We were assigned to come here to plunder the resources. The city lord said that from now on, the Dragon Ruins Ghost Realm will no longer exist. I suspect he might want to release the soul of the demonic dragon..."

Li Wei's expression changed slightly.

This made things complicated.

His situation was not as safe as he had imagined.

However, once you're inside, you'll have to wait for the eerie realm to close before you can leave.

He had also consulted a fortune teller before coming.

Based on his sense of danger, he determined that there was no great danger.

Of course, this may be because the lord of the immersed city's realm is too high, rendering divination ineffective, and divination cannot be completely trusted.

"Let's continue. I have the Deathly Shrine, so staying alive shouldn't be a problem."

After thinking it over, Li Wei did not immediately kill the Deep Sea Swordsman.

If we kill him now, the City Lord of the Submerged City will most likely sense it through methods such as the Soul Tablet, thus alerting him.

It's better to keep it until the strange realm ends, and then kill it in the Ancient Banyan Wonderland.

Inside the cave.

Alexander and Ashe looked at Ms. Triss with respect.

The lady was dressed elegantly and gracefully, her smile revealing a mature charm that was both captivating and mysterious.

"Madam, I didn't expect you to be here too."

Triss laughed:

"Master Fire Dragon didn't come, right?"

The two women nodded.

Alexandra asked:

"Who was that giant man just now, ma'am?"

As she and Ashe fled for their lives, they saw the towering giant on the horizon in the distance, which was truly awe-inspiring.

Triss said:

"That's the corpse demon of the Twilight Palace Master, no need to panic."

Ashe breathed a sigh of relief, then thought to herself in surprise:

"That huge thing gave me a terrifying aura of a late-stage level seven, but it's just a corpse demon of the Twilight Palace Master? Could the Twilight Palace Master's true strength be close to the eighth ring? This is just too unbelievable."

Although the Twilight Palace Master occasionally makes a move, it is always earth-shattering.

But most of the time, they are quite low-key, always shrouded in mystery.

Sometimes, Ashe wondered if the Lord of Twilight Temple was an avatar of some legendary wizard.

In the distance, a black streak of light landed before them; it was Li Wei.

Behind him, the giant figure stood silent as a mountain.

"Greetings, Lord Li Wei."

The two women bowed.

Li Wei said:

"The Deep Sea Swordsman has been killed."

Alexandra said:

"Thank you for saving my life."

Li Wei waved his hand and said calmly:

"It's alright, you can all survive without my help. I have other matters to attend to, so let's part ways here."

Triss smiled and waved:

Goodbye, girls.

The two women watched the black-armored swordsman and Triss's departing figures, their hearts filled with emotion, yet they didn't know where to begin.

After a thorough search of the cave, Li Wei finally discovered the most important find of his trip.

But then I saw a small, jet-black grass growing at the base of the tree, its dragon-scale-like leaves unfurling.

"Dragon Grass".

One Demon Dragon Grass, ground into powder, can easily be used to make three portions of Flame Demon Potion.

Of course, this is on the premise of 100% success; failure is not an option.

With Levi's current pharmaceutical skills, ensuring that Ace and Gandalf both have advancement potions is not a problem.

Luck wasn't too bad; he could still satisfy his second brother.

Triss said:

"Dragon Grass usually grows in places where the corpses of ancient dragons have decayed. We can continue to explore further. The deeper we go, the greater the probability of finding Dragon Grass. Previously, none of us had reached the seventh ring of cultivation, so we were likely to encounter powerful demon lords if we went further down. Now, with our strength, there shouldn't be many things in this Dragon Ruins that can pose a threat to us."

Li Weidao:

"Madam, I just learned from the Deep Sea Swordsman that the Immersed City Lord has also come to the Ghost Realm. He may want to release the soul of the demonic dragon sealed within the Ghost Realm."

Triss's expression changed slightly.

"Then we need to hurry. I'll try to contact the Black Abyss Walker now and see if we can take this opportunity to capture the Lord of the Submerged City."

Li Weidao:

"I'll do it."

Within the completely sealed-off, mysterious realm, ordinary communication devices would find it difficult to establish contact with the outside world.

He has the Twilight Round Table, which allows him to contact Nora not only in the Ghost Realm but also in other worlds.

The Tower of Summer Flowers.

The Hundred Flowers, who were in the process of cultivating, sensed Li Wei's call.

"Didn't he go to the Ghost Realm with Triss?"

Li Wei rarely disturbed her meditation through the round table.

This situation likely indicates an emergency.

"Baihua, you have contacted the Black Abyss Walker and submerged the City Lord in the Dragon Ruins Ghost Realm."

Upon hearing this, Baihua quickly asked:

"Li Wei, how are things over there with Triss? Is everything going smoothly? Did you encounter any danger?"

Li Weidao:

"We are safe, you don't need to worry."

Baihua immediately told the Black Abyss Walker about this.

The Central Realm.

The Black Abyss Walker heard of this.

"The Dragon Ruins... So the city lord went to great lengths to retrieve the Demonic Dragon Whip, all because he wanted to attack the demonic dragon's soul within. Is he turning to crooked paths because he has no hope of becoming a Grand Wizard himself?"

If he has the time, he could go and take a trip.

Unfortunately, he is currently refining the second of the Seven Deadly Sins, Pride, and cannot leave at this crucial moment.

"Matiat, go to the Ghost Realm Management Office and have them locate the coordinates of the Dragon Ruins Ghost Realm. Bring back the Immersed City Lord, preferably alive. If that's not possible, kill him on the spot."

……

In the blink of an eye.

Seven days have passed.

Levi and Triss are getting deeper and deeper into each other's lives.

However, for safety reasons, Li Wei had previously left behind the Palace of Death in one of the underground caves.

He was quite lucky during his next exploration, and he hunted down several more demon lords.

On this day, he came to a large underground cave.

The demonic energy was so dense that the sun was nowhere to be seen.

Triss said:

"There should be a demon lord here, possibly a level seven one. We're almost at the bottom. Let's stop exploring here. If we go any further, we might encounter the Soaked City Lord."

Li Weidao:

"Madam, you stay at the exit and keep watch, I'll go check ahead."

His monocle appeared as he gazed at a wisp of pure, level-seven demonic energy leading to the center of the underground cave.

In addition, there were all sorts of low-level demonic energy, intertwined and in a tangled mess.

Before long, he arrived at the source of the demonic energy.

In the distance, a giant tree, three thousand meters tall and resembling a mountain, stands tall.

The trunk of the giant tree was covered with jet-black dragon scales, and sparse fruits grew on the tree.

"This is... the Dragon Fir Tree!"

Li Wei's heart stirred.

"I never imagined that there was more than one giant dragon-fiber tree in the Dragon Ruins' Mysterious Realm!"

Last time, he found a giant dragon fir tree that was a thousand meters tall and transplanted it to the Ancient Banyan Wonderland.

However, because the tree was not very old, the dragon scale fruits it produced each time were never enough to go around.

That's why Li Wei established the World's First Dragon Way Gathering, held once every ten years.

This giant dragon fir tree far surpasses the previous one; both the quantity and quality of its fruit are undoubtedly superior.

"We've struck gold! With this tree, the growth rate of the Dragon Palace members can be increased even further."

Li Wei was overjoyed; this trip had been worthwhile!

There is another nest on the dragon cypress tree, and the level seven demonic energy comes from there.

A long, slender creature, resembling a four-legged lizard, coiled around it, enjoying the dragon scale fruit with its scarlet tongue.

The lizard was covered in fine black scales, and as the scales opened and closed, they spewed out streams of black water.

"No wonder the fruit is so scarce; it's all been eaten by this monster."

Even Li Wei, a scholar of dragons, did not know what kind of species it was.

But regardless, it's definitely fine to use it as a secret medicine for Golden Dragon.

The Golden Dragon's earth-type secret medicine has already been dealt with by a level 7 Earth-Splitting Dragon.

And this water-based secret medicine will be used.

This saves Li Wei a lot of time hunting in the Dark Lands.

Once he confirmed that there were no other dangers in the cave, Li Wei made his move.

The silver thunderous mountain descended with a rumble, and the illusory realm of wind enveloped the giant tree.

Sensing danger, the lizard hissed and crashed into the barrier, only to be relentlessly bounced back.

Danis descended from the sky, his spiked club colliding violently with the black liquid spewed out by the lizard.

The black water surged back, and the spiked club slammed it into the ground.

The giant feet, as large as mountains, pinned the lizard to the ground, while the giant hands gripped its vital spot and exerted force.

The black scales, powerful enough to withstand a seventh-ring spell, exploded with a bang and flew away.

"Be careful, don't kill him."

Li Wei's figure appeared.

Danis said:

"Don't worry, Master, I know what I'm doing."

The lizard struggled incessantly, its scarlet eyes shooting out red light.

The giant easily blocked the attacks with his palm, then slapped the lizard's head hard.

"You little brat, you dare attack me? You think you're so great!"

Just kidding, with Danis by his side, there's no need for Levi to lift a finger against someone like that.

After being tormented, the lizard finally stopped struggling and looked like a dead fish.

Li Wei temporarily subjugates it with Scarlet Smoke, and will release it once the purification is complete.

He released Ah Long.

"Loosen the soil around this giant tree."

Ah Long burrowed into the ground and began his work.

There is a whole professional team, and they are extremely efficient.

Soon, Danis, carrying a "bonsai" almost as tall as himself, transplanted the giant tree to the Ancient Banyan Wonderland.

The members of the Dragon Palace were all delighted to see the new dragon fir tree and were eager to try it out.

"Prime Minister Turtle" Lati asked:

"Your Majesty, is this a new reward?"

Li Weidao:

"That's right, work hard, cultivate diligently, and perform well. The rewards for Dragon Scale Fruit will be doubled in the future."

Upon hearing this, the dragons roared with joy.

Over the years, the Nightmare Territory has mainly relied on members of the Dragon Palace to guard it.

These guys have a great work ethic and deserve praise.

Triss said:

"Let's go back."

Although she didn't gain much from this trip, she collected quite a few different kinds of herbs, which made her quite satisfied.

Li Wei thought about it and decided to go back.

Although he wanted to find another Demon Dragon Grass, the deeper he went, the stronger the sense of crisis became.

It seems that, as the Deep Sea Swordsman said, the Submerged City Lord is indeed below.

He was powerless to stop it all and could only wait for the Sea Overturning Wizard to come to the rescue.

Until then, just make sure Triss and you protect yourselves.

With seven days remaining before the secret realm closed, Li Wei returned to the surface.

By this time, quite a few wizards had emerged, each with a blank expression, wary of the others.

Alyssa and Ashe also came out, and upon seeing Levi and Triss, they suddenly felt a sense of security.

……

The deepest part of the Dragon Ruins.

"Sleeping dragon, Sdromeron, awaken!"

A black-robed wizard, wielding a dragon whip, lashed out at the figure ahead with all his might.

There stands a black, demonic mountain stretching for thousands of meters.

The shape of a giant dragon can be vaguely seen on the Demon Mountain, which is also carved with various magic arrays and rune patterns.

"So many years have passed, and the seal has weakened to this extent, yet you still can't break it?"

The city lord was deeply shocked; this was the power of a legendary wizard.

But no matter what, he must obtain the Soul of the Dragon!

Suddenly, the Demon Mountain began to tremble and rumble.

The rocks fell, and beams of black light shot out, soaring straight into the sky.

boom!

The Demon Mountain exploded, and an extremely illusory black demon soul appeared.

Its wingspan is a full 20,000 meters, its body is long and slender, covered with black scales, and its thick limbs exude a sense of power.

Black flames, reeking of sulfur, spewed from its nostrils, accompanied by a strange laugh.

"Hehehe, human, is it you who granted me this freedom? Very well, what kind of reward do you desire?"

The city lord, gripping the demonic dragon whip, smirked and said coldly:

"Lord Stromelon, the Lord of Black Flame, the reward I desire... is you!"

He suddenly threw out a black scroll, and then retreated rapidly.

"Ninth Ring Spell - Whale Fall!"

Within a radius of thousands of miles, all the water elemental power began to surge, forming great rivers that flowed eastward to the sea!

A giant whale, as large as a Kun (a mythical fish), fell from the sky!

An entire ocean overflowed, and an incredibly powerful suppressive force swept in!

That dragon's soul was merely a spirit, and having been sealed for tens of thousands of years, it was extremely weak. How could it possibly be a match for a ninth-ring spell?

There was no suspense; it was sealed away by the giant whale!

The city lord threw out the ancient city's treasure, and the ancient city shone brightly, emitting a powerful suction force.

The Dragon Soul exclaimed in shock and anger:

"You dare offend the great Lord of Black Flame, you..."

The city lord sneered.

"What do you mean 'you'? You old codger, just a stepping stone for my advancement to the ninth ring!"

Suddenly.

An unexpected change occurred.

Suddenly, a middle-aged male sorcerer dressed in a blue robe appeared.

He conjured a gigantic blue hand that blotted out the sky and reached for the ancient city's treasures.

The city lord felt a terrifying aura of the nine rings descend upon him, and his expression changed drastically.

"Sea-Overturning Wizard, Matthias... how did you know I was here?"

He only had one of these extremely rare nine-ring spell scrolls, and it was prepared specifically for the Soul of the Demon Dragon.

He was almost powerless against a great wizard.

The sixth, seventh, and eighth rings are all called Yuanhun Wizards, while after the ninth ring, one enters a brand new major stage.

Matthias remained silent, then pointed his finger, and a water droplet that looked no bigger than a grain of rice appeared.

Innate Spell: Water Drop!

Whoosh!

The water droplet instantly appeared in front of the city lord who was submerged.

puff.

His protective force field, through various means, crumbled.

The next moment, a drop of water pierced through his forehead.

The city lord groaned, already severely injured, his mental strength beginning to wane and his aura weakening.

Matthias then unleashed another stream of water, forming transparent chains that pierced the lord's limbs, sealing him off.

Even the primordial spirit cannot escape.

The ancient city that had been fighting against Matthiat in the sky gradually lost its power and began to tremble with a buzzing sound.

Matthias waved his hand, and the Demon Dragon Whip flew into his palm, where he sealed it away.

He subdued the city lord and used magic to take away the ancient city's treasures.

Suddenly, a streak of black light pierced through the air.

Matthias's expression changed slightly, and a protective force field was activated.

The ghostly light bullet dissipated abruptly upon impact with the force field.

The next moment, Matthias realized something was wrong and looked towards the lord of the submerged city.

His body melted away like ice and snow, his breath dissipated, and even his soul began to crumble.

The city lord will be submerged and die!

"Black Sun, it's you again! You're not leaving this place this time!"

Matthias shouted angrily.

But then the figure in black robes chuckled:

"Matthiat, stop talking big. You can't keep me here. Even your teacher couldn't."

He threw out a chain, which seized the soul of the demon dragon, and then a black sun with a diameter of a thousand miles suddenly appeared.

Endless black flames covered this land.

This is a battle between great wizards; under terrifying magic, everything is being annihilated.

boom!

The city lord's storage ring, which had been submerged, shattered in the aftershocks of the battle.

Countless precious items, including Taishi stones, magical artifacts, rare treasures, and potions, flowed out of it, only to be swept into the chaotic void and disappear.

Among them were three weapons that appeared to be made of obsidian and had an ancient design: a spear, a large shield, and a chain hammer.

However, the two great wizards were locked in a fierce battle and naturally didn't care about these objects.

Black Sun noticed the three ancient weapons and muttered to himself.

"The submerged ancient city actually contains the key to the Sea Clan's [Treasury of the Emperors]. Oh well, this item requires twelve tokens to open. Collecting them would be time-consuming and laborious, and the treasures inside are probably useless to me."

His primary purpose for this trip was the Soul of the Demon Dragon; nothing else mattered.

As for the Lord of the Immersed City, he was just like that Hundred Beasts Mad Witch Caesar, nothing more than a pathetic creature used by him to scout ahead.
