Chapter 469 The Strongest! Blood Dark Dragon King! The Power of the Sword Formation! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

Bloodscale Venerable is a high-ranking vampire.

And this Lovi is a wizard of the school of death.

Pureblood vampires, as the first race to invade the wizarding world, are known as "dark creatures" along with werewolves, ghouls, and other evil forces.

These races are absolutely evil to humans, no different from demons or devils.

This wizard, Lovi, was secretly colluding with high-ranking vampires.

In fact, the Blood Vortex Venerable's true form, the Vortex Beast, although an ancient and exotic species belonging to the insect class, has some connection with the Blood River World, but it is not considered a vampire.

Bloodscale Venerable said:

"The bloodline of this Blood Fiend Bat Dragon can be traced back to the strongest dragon clan in ancient times, the Blood Dark Dragon King Odysseus. This dragon is the strongest negative energy dragon in history, even the Crimson Lotus Dragon is inferior to it."

The Blood Dark Dragon King was too powerful, and he gave birth to a large number of legendary dragons, such as the Blood Sea Dragon, Blood Dragon Beast, Ender Dragon, Dark Energy Dragon, Netherworld Dragon, and Dark Dragon.

Among the aforementioned dragons, the Blood Sea Dragon and the Blood Dragon Beast inherited the Blood Dark Dragon King's strongest blood abilities. These two dragons also gave birth to many sub-dragon species, some strong and some weak. Among them, the best are the Blood Dragon Beast's sub-dragon species [Vampire Demon Dragon] and the Blood Sea Dragon's sub-dragon species [Blood Fiend Bat Dragon], both of which have the potential to advance to level eight.

But even with the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon and you alone, you might not be able to kill the Twilight Palace Master. Even if you are a whole realm higher than him, it's not guaranteed. The Twilight Palace Master has escaped from the clutches of level eight demons more than once.

He is skilled in traversing the void and possesses various life-saving techniques. He is cautious by nature and will certainly not engage in direct combat with you. Therefore, how to keep him is a problem.

As far as I know, in the eighth level of Hell, there is a level eight adult [Black Prison Beast]. This beast is a sub-dragon species of [Nether Prison Dragon], and is most skilled in the spatial arts of sealing off enemies.

"If you use it well, and set up an ambush, even if the Lord of Twilight Palace has immense abilities, he won't be able to escape."

Luo Wei frowned and said:

"What do you mean? You want me to go to the eighth level of hell to find that Black Prison Beast? I'm only at the seventh level of cultivation. Even if I encounter it, I won't be able to subdue it. Although my true body is at the eighth level, I'm trapped in this plane and it's inconvenient for me to leave."

Bloodscale Venerable said:

"Just go ahead. Hell is the gateway to the underworld. My Blood God was once the King of the Underworld. He naturally has connections in Hell. That person is a friend of the Black Prison Beast. I'll put in a good word for you. Take some gifts to that person and make some arrangements. He will surely give the Blood God face."

Besides, you don't need to subdue that Black Prison Beast. That beast is arrogant and never submits to anyone; if forced, it would rather die than yield. You only need to get it to cooperate with your actions. Compared to a single Tortoise King Fruit, all your efforts are insignificant.”

Lovi pondered for a moment.

"That's more like it."

Bloodscale Venerable said:

"If you kill the Twilight Palace Master, you can exchange his head for a reward, but you must give me his body; I have a great use for it."

Lo Wei said:

"Rest assured, I will definitely act in accordance with the agreement. If the Black Prison Beast is willing to take action, there should be no problem."

Not long after.

Wizard Lovi then led the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon deep into the eighth level of Hell to search for the Black Prison Beast. He had to hurry, lest the other Venerables of the Council beat him to it.

……

Ancient Dragon Continent.

Li Wei, who was studying the Dao of Divine Talismans, suddenly frowned.

On the pig's face of the Fool's Rune, a bloody scene appears, along with a chilling aura of death and the wailing of the dead.

"A bloody disaster?"

Li Wei muttered to himself.

"Judging from this deathly aura, this enemy is either related to the School of Death or to Hell. However, I haven't caused trouble in Hell for a long time, so those dukes shouldn't be thinking about me every day... That must be that person from the School of Death, Wizard Lowe!"

Li Wei analyzed the omens and quickly guessed who the enemy was.

"Whatever, I'll just stay here and cultivate in the Ancient Dragon Continent. I won't go anywhere for now. Even if he wants to kill me, what can he do to me? If he dares to come to the Ancient Dragon Continent, that would be an open attack on me, a Yuanhun Wizard. After that, he will have no place to stand in the Necropolis."

"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that this person is a spy from the Council of All Races, so he may kill me and then escape from the wizarding world. We still need to be on guard."

"Moreover, judging from this rather intense sense of danger, Luo Wei must have an eighth-level trump card, which he himself, with his seventh-ring perfect cultivation, could not possibly achieve."

Li Wei then ordered all departments to strengthen their vigilance and inspected the seven-ring formation [Ten Directions Absolute Prison Heavenly Dragon Formation] set up around the Imperial Palace. This was a new seven-ring level formation that he had researched based on his earlier [Eight Heavenly Dragon Formation] and [Purgatory Nine Dragon Formation].

The Ten Directions of the Prison are Earth, Fire, Wind, Water; Frost, Thunder, Metal; Shadow; Death; and Light.

Although no one was assigned to oversee the array's core, it was still top-tier within the seven-ring formation, capable of trapping even an eighth-level expert for a short time. As for the array's core, Li Wei didn't plan to use the previous dragons or other extraordinary creatures; he was waiting for the alchemical creature developed by the Fire Dragon Celestial Craftsmanship.

Titan Titan!

Titan is a composite seven-ring alchemical creature composed of alchemical beings from seven elemental factions. A single Titan is enough to suppress the seven hells and enhance the power of the magic array.

The Shadow Hell is overseen by Li Wei's own Shadow Dragons, which goes without saying.

The Death Hell, with Livy's [Dark Soul Tower] and its countless undead within, is even more formidable.

The final Hell of Light is just there to fill a quota; it's mainly for dealing with potential demon attacks and is rarely used.

With his strength, plus the assistance of the Seventh Ring Magic Array, the Black Soul Demon Tower, Lope, and the Dragonborn Giant, even if someone were to reach level eight, he could put up a fight, and might even be able to turn the tables and kill them.

If the enemy can't kill him instantly, then presumably the big shots who are watching the Ancient Dragon Continent won't stand idly by. He has also made considerable contributions to the council.

The fungi and Green Race he handed over, the experimental equipment and data from the Destroyer Project, the numerous demons he hunted, and the talent he displayed… these were all his bargaining chips. Those in the High Council certainly understood which was more important.

With this thought in mind, Li Wei calmed down and continued his cultivation.

……

Middle-earth.

Gondor.

Fire Dragon's Heavenly Craft.

Inside the weapon-forging room, seven secret swords, gleaming with crimson and purple light, floated in mid-air in the formation of the Big Dipper, exuding an astonishing sharpness.

The sword's blade is covered with countless miniature magic arrays and runes; an ordinary person who glances at it would be overwhelmed by its profound mystery.

Around two of the secret swords, there were even unusual phenomena that only appeared when top-grade witch artifacts were present:

With a single sword strike, stars rained down!

Victor muttered something to himself and snapped his fingers.

All seven secret swords rushed into his mind.

He said:

"Thank you very much. Five fine swords and two top-quality swords are more than enough. With this sword formation, I am even confident that I can fight against a seventh-ring perfect swordsman."

The Holy Infant breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:

"This Seven Star Sword Formation is the most expensive witch artifact I have ever forged in my life. Putting aside the seven level-eight blood scales and the level-seven late-stage amethyst, which are priceless treasures, the other miscellaneous expenses exceeded one billion, enough to buy an eight-ring witch artifact. Hahaha, you'd better take good care of it from now on."

Viktor remarked:

"That's for sure. In the history of the wizarding world, apart from the Wizard Tower, there probably is no other seventh-ring wizarding artifact as valuable as this. I can't even imagine the power it will have once the Thirteen Killing Sword Formation of the Godfall Star is complete."

Holy Infant Path:

"Go to the Nightmare World first and test the power of the sword formation. If it needs adjustment, we'll modify it. Don't go hunting demons on the Forsaken Continent; it'll be too late if problems arise then."

Victor nodded and left.

He opened the Demon Slayer List and spent decades in seclusion refining weapons; Gandalf had already surpassed him in the rankings.

Now that the sword formation has been created, he is both offensive and defensive, and his killing prowess is unparalleled. It won't be long before he catches up.

On the seventh-level demon-slaying list, the supernova Link, with his advanced sixth-ring cultivation, broke into the top fifty, trampling a group of perfect sixth-ring cultivators under his feet.

This made Viktor smile knowingly, thinking to himself that this kid was not bad.

It seems that in another hundred or two hundred years, Link will also be able to achieve the sixth ring. At that time, he should be able to break into the top ten, aim for the top three, and bring great glory to the School of Metal.

Viktor has been a seventh-ring cultivator for over a hundred years, and his mental strength has now surpassed the 8000 mark, making him not far from becoming a senior seventh-ring cultivator.

After emerging from seclusion, his first task was to hunt demons and earn battle merits. Once he could exchange the Bright Moon Treasure for it, he could reach the seventh ring of advanced cultivation in about a hundred years, and his cultivation would be much faster thereafter.

After finishing with Victor's affairs, the Holy Infant didn't rest either. He had been at the seventh ring for sixty years, and apart from basic cultivation, he had been refining weapons for his main body and Victor. Now he could finally refine some for himself.

After decades of honing his skills, he can now consistently produce high-quality 7-ring items, with a high success rate for top-tier items.

His commonly used magical artifacts, such as the Nine Dragons Umbrella of Purgatory, the Seven Feathers of Frost, and the Snow Iron Dragon Armor, all need to be upgraded. Once they are all upgraded to the seventh ring, he will cooperate with Victor and Gandalf to continue hunting demons and cultivating in the Forsaken Continent.

He already possesses the Ice and Fire Saint Body, allowing him to cultivate at an extremely fast pace. Currently, his spiritual power is over 7700 points. If he can advance further through the Bright Moon Treasure, advancing to the eighth ring will be much easier, and he will have more time to imprint the witch mark.

……

Nightmare World.

Black Death City.

One of the eight kings, the Black Death King, resides here.

Under the Black Death King, there are nearly thirty territories of varying sizes, and more than fifty Nightmare Lords, nine of whom are Level 7 powerhouses, known as the "Nine Disciples of the Black Death."

However, not long ago, a piece of bad news reached Black Death City.

The seventh and eighth disciples of the Black Death Nine were actually killed by the little-known general of the Black Dragon Territory.

According to the soldiers who escaped.

The Black Dragon Territory is guarded by a late-stage level seven giant ape, three thousand meters tall, who calls himself "Sky-Splitting Staff - Lope". Its staff technique is unparalleled, its strength is immense, and its bravery is awe-inspiring, capable of defeating ten thousand troops.

On the contrary, the Black Dragon Lord is not worth mentioning. Although he commands a large dragon army, its numbers are small, and most of them are level five or six, making it difficult to change the course of the battle.

On the throne.

A strange man with shifty eyes, a rat's head, covered in black fur, and a rat's tail, dressed in a black robe, exuded a fierce aura.

"You bunch of useless trash, you can't even take down the Black Dragon Territory. Who else is willing to go to the Black Dragon Territory for me, capture the Black Dragon Lord, and drive those outsiders out of the Nightmare World forever?"

The disciples and generals below remained silent.

Lope's prowess clearly left a deep impression on them.

"Does this mean I, the king, must personally lead the army?"

The Black Death King naturally dared not leave easily. Now, with the eight kings fighting each other, the Yellow Fever King, the Dengue King, and the Cholera King were all eyeing his territory covetously.

At this moment, an unusually fat rat-man stepped forward, patted his belly, and said:

"Let me go in your place, brother. It's been a long time since I've fought a strong opponent, and I'm itching to do it."

Black Death King's Way:

"Big Rat, you... fine, go. You can command these disciples as you please, and I'll give you another 100,000 Black Death soldiers."

The giant rat was its adopted younger brother, whose strength was at the peak of level seven.

Previously, he had single-handedly killed several of Huang Rewang's level 7 subordinates, including some late-stage level 7 powerhouses.

If it goes, with the help of a few disciples, it should be no problem to take down Narope.

Soon, the giant rat, along with his four disciples, gathered an army of 100,000 elite soldiers and charged menacingly towards Black Dragon Territory.

……

Black Dragon Territory.

"The Black Death King's army is approaching! Assemble immediately!"

"Quickly, go and fetch General Lope!"

"Heavenly Dragon Generals, Earthly Dragon Generals, assemble!"

Upon hearing the news that the Black Death King's army was about to arrive, Lope rushed over, bone club in hand, eager to try.

The "Ape King's Battle Manual," bestowed upon it by its master, had already been mastered and achieved some success. The last great battle against the Black Death King's army was simply not satisfying; it ended before it even had a chance to warm up.

Before long, the Dragon Palace troops quickly assembled, each one exuding an imposing aura and radiating dragon might.

The Black Lotus Beast, which had recently advanced to the late stage of level six, stood at the front of the formation, leading the Dragon Palace troops.

As an elder of the Dragon Palace, the Black Lotus Beast, though not the highest in cultivation level, still held considerable prestige and was bestowed the title of "Heavenly Lotus Dragon General" by the Dragon King.

With the help of sub-dragons like Charizard and Blaziken to share the burden, its growth is progressing more smoothly. Once it reaches its full adult form, it can reach peak level eight strength, and there's still considerable room for improvement.

Thanks to the Dragon Scale Fruit, the second brother, the Vampire Dragon, is closely following in the footsteps of his eldest brother, the Black Lotus Beast, and is not far from reaching the late stage of level six, earning the title of [Sky Swift Dragon General]. The third sister, the [Sky Crying Dragon General] Infant Dragon, is also currently at the mid-stage of level six, not to be outdone.

The Serpent King Dragon, having advanced to the peak of Level 6, is the only Level 6 sub-dragon species capable of fighting the Black Lotus Beast. Its complete form is at Level 7, and it will reach adulthood in a few hundred years.

[Heavenly Mad Dragon General] Mad Electric Dragon Eel has also advanced to the late stage of level six. Together with his good brother [Heavenly Tyrannical Dragon General] Thunderstorm Wolf Dragon, they are known as the [Two Mad Generals] of the Dragon Palace. Both dragons are at level seven in their complete forms, and still have room for growth.

The Three-Eyed Four-Eyed Shrimp Dragon has been given the title of "Heavenly Crippled Dragon General" and is currently at the late stage of level six. Its complete form is level seven, and after advancing, its lost eyes may have a chance to be restored.

[Heavenly Dragon General] The Blue Flag Fish Dragon is already a mid-level level 6 creature. It excels at underwater combat and guards the lakes and marshes outside Black Dragon Territory year-round. It is known as "Blue Stripe in the Waves".

【Tianhu Longjiang】Fierce Scale Dragon, with an explosive personality, is one of only two female dragons in Tianhu Longjiang, making it extremely rare, but so far no dragon has been able to subdue it.

However, the most impressive ones are the level seven dragon generals.

The Snow Mountain Dragon King possesses mid-stage seventh-level cultivation; it is essentially in its complete form, with the peak of seventh level being its limit. Its title is [Heavenly Slaughtering Dragon General].

The Earth-Splitting Dragon is also at the mid-stage of level seven, and is at its complete form, with the title of "Heavenly Mountain Dragon General".

Both the four-legged lizard and the fire-breathing dragon are at the early stage of level seven, and both are in their complete form, with little room for improvement. They are respectively the [Heavenly Water Dragon General] and the [Heavenly Fire Dragon General].

As for the Wind and Dust Dragon, it is still sleeping and it is unknown when it will wake up and be granted the title of [Heavenly Leisure Dragon General].

Bone dragons, being essentially undead creatures, are not considered traditional dragons and therefore are not included.

Moreover, they all serve on the Ancient Dragon Continent, responsible for guarding that area, and have no time to conquer the Nightmare World.

Of course, other extraordinary beings also have other titles and reward systems, and are also members of the Dragon Palace. The Dragon King treats them all equally, but they are not included in the Heavenly and Earthly Dragon Generals.

A total of 14 dragon generals roamed between heaven and earth, their dragon might connecting to form a vast expanse of dragon scale clouds, subtly creating an invincible aura domain within a radius of a hundred miles.

Other Nightmare Lords of the Black Dragon Territory, leading vast armies of Nightmare creatures, also arrived to defend their territories.

Before long, a huge, dark mass of enemy troops appeared in the distance, surging forward like a giant wave!

The leader was a fat giant rat at the peak of level seven. It stood upright, holding a scythe weapon, and its face was fierce.

Four disciples stood in a row beside him, the weakest of whom was at the mid-stage of level seven, and two of them were at the late stage of level seven.

Within the army, there are more than ten level-six lords.

Currently, the two sides are evenly matched. Black Dragon Territory has the advantage in level six experts, but it is inferior in terms of top-level combat power, with only Lope being a late-stage level seven expert.

Lope remained completely calm and said indifferently:

"Go and fetch Ms. Triss, and then tell your master about this."

There are also level seven experts in Black Dragon Territory, but they are all guarding other territories and cannot attend to this place.

Before long, a witch dressed in a blue robe, with an elegant and mature demeanor, descended gracefully. She said:

"I'm here, but judging from the situation, the Black Dragon Lord will have to come in person."

The enemy has one peak level 7, two late level 7, and two mid level 7. This fighting force is enough to sweep away any high-level wizard organization in the wizarding world, and we must deal with it with caution.

Lope said:

"Leave the peak level seven to me. Madam, can you hold your own against the late level seven for a while? Once I've dealt with the formidable enemy, I'll come and help you."

Triss said:

"Of course, no problem."

Five hundred years after advancing to the seventh ring, she now has nine witch marks, which is already the standard for the seventh ring to be perfect. However, she is still lacking in spiritual power. She should be able to advance within a hundred years.

With her companion spirit [Blue Knight], projection [Black Queen], and level-eight treasure [Dragon Whip], she could put up a fight against even the peak level seven, let alone the late level seven.

Lope said:

"There's still one more level seven late-stage character. We'll have to ask the master or mistress to come... or we can ask Danis to come."

Just now.

But then, a sword light slashed through the sky, landing straight beside Lope. The man was handsome, dressed in a loose golden robe of the Qi Sect, his black hair flowing, his hands clasped behind his back, exuding an otherworldly aura. His style was completely different from everyone else present. He stood there like a sharp sword, with endless sword energy humming within him.

"I'll take the last one."

Victor laughed.

Lope and Triss exchanged a glance and said:

"OK!"

Although the person who came was only at the ordinary level of the seventh ring, he was Victor.

So they chose to believe.

Rumble!

The massive army pressed forward, its momentum overwhelming.

The auras of countless powerful beings intertwined, forming a terrifying storm that swept across the heavens and earth.

The big rat said:

"Black Dragon Territory has slain my Black Death King's envoy and deliberately instigated conflict. Today, I, your great general, will lead a large army to drive out you outsiders and raze Black Dragon Territory to the ground!"

Lopez laughed:

"Fat rat, take this!"

Its momentum was overwhelming. With one step, it transformed into a stream of water and appeared in front of the giant rat army in an instant. The bone club actually transformed into a length of ten thousand meters and crashed down!

"snort!"

Not to be outdone, the giant rat transformed its fat into devilish muscles, wielding the scythe of death!

The clash of blades and the wind from the staff created a shockwave that ripped through the clouds and the earth!

"Kill! Whoever takes the Black Dragon Lord's head will be richly rewarded!"

In an instant, the sounds of fighting filled the air.

Triss chose her third disciple, a late-stage level seven monster who resembled a hairless rat. He had red, wrinkled skin and was incredibly ugly. He was surrounded by black clouds, which were made up of millions of flying little rats, making one's scalp crawl.

The second disciple was a filthy monster covered in pustules, constantly oozing yellow fluid. It bared its large yellow teeth, and the foul-smelling liquid transformed into a raging river, charging towards the Dragon Palace's followers.

At the critical moment, seven stars descended from the sky, their starlight forming seven ethereal longswords that sliced ​​through the yellow river teeming with plague and pathogens, causing it to fall to the ground, bubbling and hissing.

Viktor appeared as if a sword immortal had descended to earth, surrounded by seven secret swords that formed an unbreakable defense.

Relying on the power of the sword formation, he actually withstood the attack of a late-stage level seven expert, which was a leap of two minor realms.

The second disciple was startled, not expecting that Black Dragon Territory would have such a master. It immediately manipulated the boundless yellow water, forming countless poisoned arrows that rained down upon the land.

"Venus!"

Viktor pointed a finger, and a huge white star appeared behind him, within which an immortal could be seen dancing with a sword!

"Sword Points to Seven Stars!"

But then, seven beams of starlight sword energy emerged from the stars, annihilating everything in their path!

Rumble!

The barrage of poisoned arrows was all destroyed by the sword energy. Furthermore, a secret sword, with a soft "thud," pierced through the second disciple's head.

boom!

The second disciple transformed into a cloud of pus, then reappeared, with strands of yellow chains emerging from the void and reaching out to grab Viktor.

"A chain of disease!"

Surrounded by the Seven Swords of Viktor, he transformed into an invisible and intangible golden sword aura, soaring straight into the sky!

Unbeknownst to him, he had already stepped into the [Breaking the Void] realm of the Qi Sect, comprehended the [Shattering Formless Sword Qi] of the White Emperor Sword Sect, and achieved complete unity between man and sword, moving freely at will.

Viktor felt his magical and spiritual power rapidly depleting, realizing that with his ordinary seventh-ring cultivation, he was still struggling to fully control the Heavenly Star Sword Formation. After all, he needed to control seven seventh-ring secret swords simultaneously, so he had to finish the battle quickly. Once he reached the advanced seventh-ring level, it should be much easier.

"Celestial Star Sword Formation - A Sky Full of Stars!"

Then, within a radius of several dozen miles around the second disciple, seven illusory stars, each a kilometer in diameter, lit up in succession. They formed a temporary large-scale magic array, using seven secret swords as the array's components, imprisoning the second disciple within.

"Godfall - Seven Stars Take Life!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ...

Seven consecutive beams of sword energy, like the Big Dipper, were linked together, constantly refracting in the sky and forming a dense network of sword energy. The second disciple was trapped in the prison of sword energy and could not break free.

Viktor was pale, but his eyes held a hint of pleasure.

"This is the sword formation I wanted!"

Rumble!

With a deafening explosion, the sword energy prison burst open.

A monster resembling a mountain of flesh flew out, its surface pockmarked and its aura weakened. As a late-stage Level 7 expert, the Second Disciple had never been so humiliated, being completely overwhelmed by an early-stage Level 7!

"A sea of ​​suffering, like pus!"

Endless yellow fluid flowed from its body, and thousands of small pustules emerged from the void, surrounding Victor.

"burst!"

These small pustules suddenly burst open, triggering a chain reaction that enveloped an area of ​​fifty miles in radius. Viktor transformed into shattered, invisible sword energy, moving and weaving within it. Seven secret swords circled around him, their sword energy forming a protective barrier that shielded him.

"Die!"

The second disciple used a human bomb attack and fell from the sky.

"Seven Swords Combined!"

The seven secret swords merged into one in an instant, becoming a giant starlight sword over three thousand meters long, soaring straight into the sky!

The flesh bomb collided with the greatsword. The greatsword shattered, breaking into seven swords that protected Victor as he fled. The flesh bomb was also pierced, and the Second Disciple's painful roar echoed from it.

"die!"

It exploded completely, revealing a vast yellow ocean.

But then a figure flew out from the ocean; it was Victor.

The seven secret swords were somewhat dim, and the exquisite seven-ringed Dragon Locust Armor was pitted and worn, its divine luster gone. The previously obtained level-six rare treasure, the Golden Apple Armor, had vanished into the yellow water and was no more. Fortunately, this was the Nightmare World, and all of these were manifestations of Nightmare power.

In the real world, even if Viktor had won this battle, he would have suffered heavy losses. This second disciple's yellow liquid can corrupt magical artifacts; it's extremely powerful.

However, the fact that Victor was able to fight to such an extent with the second disciple of the Black Death King while only having a seventh-ring cultivation level meant that he had already achieved his goal of experimenting with the sword formation, given the vast difference in their cultivation levels.

Triss was initially a little worried about Victor, but after witnessing the terrifying power of the sword formation, she was completely relieved.

On other battlefields, the fighting gradually intensified.

Led by Tianlong, the Dragon Palace forces, along with an army of countless nightmare creatures, put up a fierce resistance, leaving corpses strewn across the battlefield.

Many members of the Dragon Palace returned to the city. Within the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, some dragons who had returned to the city, despite their exhaustion, went back to fight in the Black Dragon Territory, becoming completely engrossed in the battle.

After battling Lope for over a hundred rounds, the giant rat general realized that it could not defeat the giant ape and was even slightly at a disadvantage. It knew that this expedition was going to end in failure.

"Within this Black Dragon Territory, there are so many valiant individuals, and all of them are outsiders. Just who is this Black Dragon Lord? How can he command so many outsiders to willingly risk their lives for him?"

With a devastating blow from Lopez, the giant rat was sent flying, spitting out countless drops of greasy blood.

"Withdraw! All troops withdraw! Do not linger!"

Withdrawing troops is shameful and disgraces the reputation of the Eighth Prince, but it will preserve the Black Death King's fighting force.

If so many elite soldiers and generals are lost here, the other seven kings will surely rush to wipe out the Black Death King as soon as they find out.

On the ground, the nightmare army receded like a tide.

The giant rat general flickered, and a golden gate of light appeared in front of him, about to enter it.

"When my brother comes in person, he'll make you pay!"

duang!

The giant rat's body seemed to have crashed into an impenetrable wall.

The golden gate burst open with a deafening roar, and the silver mountains and storm barrier descended, crushing everything in the world.

At the summit of Leishan, a black dragon with shattered wings, shimmering with a dreamlike luster, spread its wings and transformed into the figure of a black-armored swordsman.

Li Wei raised his hand and unleashed a [Water Dragon's Roar] on the third disciple who was battling Triss.

The Emperor appeared, threw out a giant shield, and sent the second disciple who was trying to escape flying. The Nine-Headed Emperor Dragon then released the Yuan Soul spell [Heavenly Net Thunder Light], forming a lightning net that trapped him.

He rushed over upon hearing the news and had been waiting for a long time.

He single-handedly stopped the giant rat and two late-stage level seven disciples.

"I'm giving you a choice: either surrender and submit to me, or die!"

The giant rat, wielding a sickle, slashed at Li Wei.

"You?"

Li Weidao:

"Me!"

He waved his hand.

Danis, wielding a spiked club, charged out fiercely!

The four spirit soldiers and the spirit of Maiar followed closely behind.

Li Wei wielded his greatsword, which clashed with his scythe.

The immense force sent the giant rat flying a great distance.

It showed a look of shock.

"How is that possible? The Black Dragon Lord's power is even greater than Lope's?"

Li Wei has rarely shown his face in the Nightmare World. It only thought of Li Wei as a vase lord who lived off Lope and Triss. But it never expected that his true strength was so terrifying!

With the blessing of the Shadow Wind, the Shadow Dragons become as swift as the wind, transforming into deadly weapons on the battlefield.

Nightmares, abysses, and black beasts are Li Wei's main means of replenishing his level 5 shadows; otherwise, even if he killed all the elemental souls in the Wizarding World, he still wouldn't be able to gather 10,000 level 5 shadow dragons.

The [Sound of the Wild] echoed across the battlefield, igniting the bloodlust of every member of the Dragon Palace. Even the army of nightmare creatures seemed to receive a slight boost. If Li Wei were to master this spell to its limit, its power would be even greater.

"I am brimming with power!"

The fire-breathing dragon spews forth flames, mercilessly taking the lives of enemy soldiers.

The Black Lotus Beast also felt an incredible power flowing into its body.

Not long after, a disciple at the mid-stage of level seven was blasted to pieces by Li Wei's Four Spirit Weapons and the Spirit of Maiar. His true spirit soared into the sky, only to be entangled in an invisible net. In the center of that net, Leon sat calmly, making canned goods on the spot.

As the Nine-Colored Emperor Sword struck down, the second disciple, who had exhausted all his tricks, was also annihilated by the chaotic sword energy. He was finally dead. He had already been severely injured by Victor and was just waiting for Li Wei to finish him off.

The third disciple, who was being overwhelmed by Lope and Triss, was also struck down by Li Wei's secret sword. Li Wei was desperately trying to secure kills in order to bolster the Shadow Legion's strength.

With Li Wei's arrival on the battlefield, the situation instantly took a dramatic turn for the worse. General Shuoshu watched helplessly as his four disciples were all killed in action, and his lords and army fell like wheat before the Shadow Legion.

"Black Dragon Lord, spare my life, and I will submit to you!"

"The rat said in a panic."

Behind Li Wei, the Black Soul Demon Tower appeared, forming a death storm that covered hundreds of miles in radius. Two evil souls exuding terrifying aura condensed and emerged, their fierce light gleaming.

"It's too late."

Li Wei activated the [Spiritual Path of the Spear] and the [Dragon and Snake Path], his right arm transforming into a blood-red spear that moved like a dragon and slithered like a snake!

Under the relentless onslaught, the powerful rat general, at the peak of level seven, was completely overwhelmed.

It had already exhausted itself in its battle with Lope, and was no match for the fully-powered Levi.

The Nine-Colored Emperor also rushed to provide support.

The Fire Dragon Calamity, the Seven Suns Descending to the Realm, the Thunder Beast Technique, and all sorts of other spells swept in from all directions, leaving it no room to dodge.

High in the sky, the phantom of the Thunder God stood on the clouds, with a thunder drum hanging at his waist. He struck the drum, and a terrifying pillar of lightning crashed down, like divine punishment!

Under such a relentless barrage, the enormous rat was soon riddled with wounds and on the verge of death. Had it not been for the formidable defenses of its massive fat body, it would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

Having exhausted all its tricks, it lay on the ground, powerless to fight any longer, and could only stare at the black-armored swordsman.

In a daze, it seemed to see its brother's future.

"This Black Dragon Lord is surely the calamity of the Blood Rain Realm."

The talents under this person's command are all extraordinary individuals who can fight beyond their current realm. If they were allowed to grow stronger, they would become formidable.

boom!

Another bolt of lightning blasted the giant rat to pieces, its grease bursting into flames. A peak level seven expert thus met a tragic end in this desolate Black Dragon Territory.

Li Wei withdrew his powers and landed on the ground.

With the addition of the Shadow Dragons, the gap in strength between the two sides widened further, and the enemy was routed and could only flee. They were pursued by the Black Dragon's soldiers for a long distance before finally sounding the retreat.

After cleaning up her spoils, Triss looked at Levi.

With a mere gesture, he slew that peak level seven enemy. Could it be that even a level eight expert is no match for Li Wei?

And then there's Victor, with his early-stage seventh-level cultivation. Relying on that secret sword formation, he held his own against late-stage seventh-level cultivators without being at a disadvantage. That's truly terrifying.

Li Weidao:

"Thank you for your help, madam. If you need any of these spoils from the battlefield, please feel free to take them."

They were old buddies, so Triss didn't stand on ceremony with him.

This battle was a great victory, fully demonstrating the military strength of Black Dragon Territory. Unless the Black Death King personally leads the expedition, he will certainly not dare to harass this place. The same applies to the other seven kings.

Next, we'll either have to spend some time in peace and quiet, or we'll have to face an eighth-level enemy.

Regardless, Li Wei is ready.

In the post-war review, thanks to the Shadow Dragons, the Nightmare Army in Livy's territory did not suffer many losses. Of the enemy's elite soldiers who escaped, less than three out of ten remained, which can be described as a heavy loss.

Li Wei held a grand banquet and rewarded or punished his soldiers according to their military achievements, which pleased everyone.

Some are happy, some are sad.

Black Death City.

The Black Death King, seated on his throne, has already learned of his brother's death.

Besides, of the nine disciples, six have now left, leaving only three. Not to mention the other losses.

Even in the war with the other seven kings, it had never suffered such heavy losses; it was devastating.

This means that the Black Dragon Territory in this desolate place is already a force at the level of the Eighth King, regardless of whether it has an Eighth-level expert in charge.

"Next, all the armies from the territories will come to Black Death City and defend it to the death, lest the Seven Kings and the Black Dragon Territory take advantage of the situation! Also, send an envoy with the finest gifts to the Dark Web Path in the Blood Sea Domain to ask my great-grandmother to come out of seclusion. This concerns the life and death of our Black Death City, and my great-grandmother will not stand idly by and watch us perish."

What the world doesn't know is that the Black Death King's great-grandmother was a level nine overlord named [Dark Overlord], who served under the level ten powerhouse [Blood Sea Mosquito Lord].

Great-Grandma was the earliest founder of Black Death City. Later, she went into seclusion in the Blood Sea Domain and led a group of rat offspring to establish a vast underground rat empire.

This is why the Black Death King dared to rebel; even if it failed, it had a way out.

Even if the Blood Rain Overlord is not truly dead, it can escape its fate by hiding in the Dark Web when the reckoning comes.

……

Four years later.

Nora's 450th year, the 236th year of the bloody war.

Li Wei obtained the eight-ringed robe from the ancient ruins. Since he wouldn't use it for a long time, it needed repair, and its quality was mediocre, after some consideration, he had the Holy Infant auction it off on the black market, recouping 8 million Tai Shi to maintain the cash flow needed for the Holy Infant's weapon refining.

The Holy Infant also upgraded all of his main magical artifacts, such as Soul Weapons, to seventh-ring magical artifacts.

Both the [Purgatory Nine Dragons Umbrella] and the [Frosty Sky Seven Feather Fan] have been upgraded to the seventh-ring top-grade level, possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities and immense power.

The Citroën Armor has been upgraded to the Rank 7 Excellent [Dragon Locust Armor], and with the Rank 7 Exotic Treasure [Flame Shield], I feel completely safe.

The [Crimson Dragon Ring] and [Extreme Fire Wheel] are both level 7 common items, which are useful for control and escape, but they are more than enough.

The Crimson Infant Sword has been upgraded to a seventh-level refined weapon. Moreover, with the advancement of the weapon, the crimson python spirit within the sword has also fully recovered its peak strength, transforming from a python into a dragon and becoming a seventh-level weapon spirit.

With such a multi-functional and exquisite magical artifact, coupled with the two companion spirits, the Snow King and the Lion King, the Holy Infant's overall strength is in no way inferior to that of Gandalf and Victor.

After years of transformation in strength, the three clones, although only at the ordinary level of the seventh ring, could easily withstand a perfect seventh ring if they unleashed their full power. However, they were still far from being able to kill a perfect seventh ring as easily as the main body.

After the magical artifact was completed, the Holy Infant no longer entered seclusion.

He left the two women and the other Yuanhun wizards to guard the witchcraft shop before heading to the God-Abandoned Continent.

Gandalf and Victor have already been working together to hunt demons over there. Just two years ago, the two of them joined forces to kill a late-stage level seven Balrog, causing a huge uproar in the Wizarding World.

With these three heroes gathered together and working together, they can practically roam freely in the God-Forsaken Continent, killing gods and Buddhas alike if they stand in their way.

Nightmare World.

Inside the Tower of Triss.

The woman is conducting an experiment, looking very focused.

When the experiment was finished, she looked at Li Wei, who had been waiting for a long time.

Li Wei said:

"Madam, I would like to work with you to research a medicine."

Triss asked:

"What kind of medicine?"

Li Wei retrieved the experimental notes he had obtained from the ancient ruins.

"A medicine that could potentially extend our lives by a thousand years."
