Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 470 The Enemy Appears, the Light of Exile! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

"Extend lifespan by a thousand years?"

Triss held the experimental log handed to her by Levi, somewhat surprised.

Li Weidao:

"Yes, I found this at an ancient site. The owner of the site studied it for a long time but failed."

Triss said:

"Longevity potions are actually not very useful if the materials cannot be made relatively common. For example, there is a nine-ring longevity potion called the 'Turtle Longevity Potion,' which can extend life by 1500 years. In fact, the reason why this potion is so powerful is not because of the technical sophistication of the potion itself, but because it uses the Turtle King Fruit, which can extend life by 1000 years after consumption. This kind of longevity potion is very difficult to replicate because it is limited by the materials."

Li Wei said:

"I looked at this person's research. He seems to want to research a relatively inexpensive eight-ring life-extending potion, made from the blood of the phoenix and other relatively easy-to-find herbs. If it can be successful, although it cannot be popularized in the wizarding world, it can at least extend the lives of people like us by another thousand years."

Triss said:

"Yes, I understand, but this is an eight-ring potion. With our current level of knowledge, I'm afraid it's not enough for us to study it."

Li Weidao:

"Could we bring Ms. Lucy in? I've heard she's also skilled in the field of potions."

Triss said:

"Ms. Lucy herself is fine, but she is currently busy commanding the war and may not have time to spare."

Li Weidao:

"It's alright, take your time. Throughout history, so many legendary wizards and great wizards have failed to develop a universally applicable longevity potion. You can imagine how difficult it is."

Triss sighed:

"yes."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Li Wei left.

He copied the relevant information from "Millennium Potion" to Triss for her reference, including the experimental notes.

The owner of the ruins was highly skilled in pharmacology, and his notes were of great use to Triss in her research on other potions.

……

Nightmare World.

Passing through the Blood Rain Realm and continuing across the boundless Pale Domain, one will arrive at a blood-red wilderness, which is the Blood Sea Domain.

The so-called Great Domain is the land ruled by the Nightmare Monarch, which governs many smaller realms. The Blood Rain Realm is under the jurisdiction of the Pale Great Domain, and the master of this domain is the Pale Monarch, to whom the Blood Rain Overlord serves. He is also the master of the giant skeletal claw that Li Wei saw in the Ash Dragon Egg.

The Blood Sea Domain is the territory of another monarch, known as the Blood Sea Mosquito Lord, whose true form is a mosquito beast, and who is called the "Lord of Billions of Mosquitoes".

Within this vast domain dwell many nightmare overlords. The Dark Web is one of them, located underground, perpetually dark and damp, crisscrossing like a city's sewers.

The overlord of the Dark Web is actually a nightmare rat that has lived for countless years. It currently lies on a soft bed in the underground kingdom, smoking a pipe, its body hunched over.

"Ahem, I never expected that junior to be so useless, actually being scared out of his wits by an unknown minor lord."

"However, the Black Dragon Lord's ability to mobilize outsiders to fight for it in the Nightmare World on a large scale, and its near-immortality, is quite rare."

"Now it seems this suddenly appearing black dragon lord has quite a background. What is Khorne's opinion on this?"

From the shadows, a massive dragon, exuding a savage aura and resembling a small dog, emerged. It was the former overlord of the Khorne realm, its true form being a pure-blooded dragon called the Tyrannosaurus.

It was severely injured by the Blood Rain Overlord and almost died. Although it survived, its strength dropped to the eighth level.

It escaped the realm of Khorne and became a wandering lord, only to be captured by the Dark Overlord, who had long planned to reap the benefits. Now, it is a prisoner, enduring humiliation and barely surviving.

Khorne said:

"I had heard before that a new black dragon lord had arrived at the Blood Rain Borderlands, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I didn't expect him to have such abilities. He must be a pure-blooded dragon like me. Maybe he's an advance force sent from the Wizarding World, since many of his subordinates are wizards."

The Dark Overlord said:

"Heh, wizards? Such a weak civilization dares to invade our Nightmare World. Have they forgotten the lessons of the past?"

Previously, a group of wizards captured Pan, a descendant of the Lost Monarch, and imprisoned him forever in the labyrinth within the Lost Monarch's body, for all eternity.

Khorne's eyes flickered.

"How about I go and meet that Black Dragon Lord?"

The Dark Overlord sneered.

"Stop trying to play tricks. I know you want to escape Grandma's clutches. Just stay here with me obediently, and I'll take care of things."

……

Black Dragon Territory.

Li Wei listened to his subordinate's report with a thoughtful expression.

Just a few years ago, the growth and reproduction rate of the flesh and blood mother tree in his Black Dragon Territory suddenly increased dramatically, and the output of nightmare creatures soared year after year, but the reason is still unclear.

"Generally speaking, in this situation, either the Nightmare World has undergone some kind of change, such as a locust plague, or the Nightmare Lord itself has advanced in strength, or the negative influence on the Prime Material Plane has increased."

"A long time has passed since the thousand-year locust plague, and the benefits brought by that wave of locusts have long been digested, so it shouldn't be due to external factors, but rather to me... No, that's not right. I am gentle and kind to people, and the people of the Ancient Dragon Continent are very grateful to me. Although I occasionally kill some people, very few people know about it, so it shouldn't have too much of a negative impact."

"Could it be because I've killed too many demons, causing them to be terrified, to have nightmares, and to fear and dread me?"

"It shouldn't be. First of all, although I have some influence among the demons, it's not that great. Besides, demons are basically chaotic creatures, fearless and insignificant in their emotions."

After some reasoning, Li Wei was still completely baffled.

Regardless, this is a good thing.

On the one hand, it can promote the development of Black Dragon Territory.

On the one hand, once Li Wei's Nightmare Dragon advances, the proficiency experience gained while AFK in the Nightmare World will also increase.

……

The nightmare world is vast and boundless.

They traversed the Blood Sea Domain, and then several other domains.

Far, far from the Black Dragon Territory, lies a vast domain. It is called the Lost Domain, the territory of the infamous Lost Monarch.

After the previous thousand-year locust plague, many unclaimed territories and flesh-and-blood mother trees were created. The various lords fought endlessly for these newly created territories.

Within one of the mother trees, a twisted black shadow is being conceived, and the power of fear from multiple dimensions is transforming into a continuous stream of energy, surging into the shadow's body.

"Twilight Demon King!"

"Twilight Demon King!"

"Twilight Demon King!"

It seems that countless beings, in daylight, at night, and in dreams, are all calling out a name in terror:

Twilight Demon King!

They had never even seen the real Twilight Demon King, nor did they know who the Twilight Demon King was.

It was only through word of mouth that it became an "urban legend," to the point that just mentioning the words "Twilight Demon King" would evoke fear, dread, and trembling in them.

A mysterious, vast, and bizarre nightmare world. In this unknown corner, new "nightmare creatures" are quietly being conceived.

……

Ancient Banyan Tree Wonderland.

Aside from his spiritual practice and research, one of Li Wei's few pastimes was examining his memory discs.

On one hand, he gathers useful intelligence, spells, and knowledge; on the other hand, it's for entertainment, similar to watching movies, which is quite interesting. Most of the time, he only watches DVDs of level six or higher; he's too lazy to watch the lower-level ones.

"Master, please take a look at this disc."

Leon gave Li Wei a disc containing a level 5 Fire Demon.

Li Wei took it, examined it for a moment, and his expression changed.

The scene depicts an endless expanse of red wilderness.

A level 5 fire demon was mixed in with the army, seemingly fleeing for its life. Through its perspective, Li Wei saw a mid-level level 7 fire demon being killed by a red-robed wizard with magic.

The red-robed wizard's face was obscured, but Li Wei recognized him from the iconic Crimson Flame Wizard Tower.

"Gorvin, the Flame Servant!"

"This person is actually in the Flame Mountain World!"

According to the memory disc, at the beginning of the blood war, this level 5 fire demon followed the army and invaded the Flame Mountain World. There, it encountered the Flame Attendant. After that battle, the demon escaped by chance, but was then conscripted into the Burning Expeditionary Force and came to the God-Forsaken Continent.

Li Wei didn't know when he killed the demon, but by some twist of fate, he learned the whereabouts of the Flame Servant.

To be honest, Li Wei had already given up hope. He had searched for a long time in secret but had not seen the person.

The wizarding world is vast, and with the Flame Servant determined to hide, coupled with the cover provided by his powerful family influence, Levi was indeed unable to find him.

Therefore, he was prepared to leave with regrets, treating this person as the second Wild Boar Rider.

Unexpectedly, there's always a way out.

All of this seemed to suggest that the causal connection between him and the Flame Servant had not yet been severed!

"Hahahaha, Flame Mountain World, so you were hiding here. You didn't even dare to sign up for the Demon Slayer List, just because you were afraid I would find out."

Li Wei did some quick calculations and realized that the last time he saw the Flame Attendant was over three hundred years ago. With the passage of time and his talent, he should have already advanced to the seventh-ring senior wizard level. But he was still quite a distance from the perfect seventh ring.

Regardless, he could easily destroy such a person with a flick of his wrist. With his speed of traversing the void, he could reach the Flame Mountain World in less than a year.

To avoid any regrets, after consulting the oracle beforehand and researching extensively about the Flame Mountain world, Li Wei confirmed that the trip was safe and left the Wizarding World.

……

one year later.

Yanshan World.

Li Wei arrived at this place and frowned.

Looking around, one could see that this world was teeming with demonic energy, which was exceptionally dense.

A faint sense of danger emanates from this place, suggesting that a powerful level eight demon may be stationed here.

"It seems they've been abandoned by the Wizarding Council."

As the bloody war has progressed, a quarter of the dimensional federation has already fallen. This is a desperate measure, as the scale of the bloody war far exceeds the previous chaos caused by the Four Evil Gods in the Five Realms Federation.

In order to concentrate its efforts on defending the Wizarding World, the Wizarding Council certainly cannot station too many troops in other dimensional federations.

After the bloody battle, the resources and alien races of these planes have been transported back to the Wizarding World, and have now been transformed into demon lairs and garrisons.

"That meeting between the demon and the Flame Servant happened hundreds of years ago; I wonder if they're still around."

Li Wei, the hermit, flashed his runes, intending to conduct a thorough search for the Flame Servant. If he found no clues, he would return home. He wouldn't disturb the demons here, lest he be targeted by a level nine demon; that would be a greater loss than revenge. His life was more important than revenge.

Time flies.

A month has passed.

Li Wei scanned the Flame Mountain World roughly. Ultimately, he was fairly certain that the Flame Servant had already left the place.

"That's enough, that's enough, let's go back... Life is not always smooth sailing."

Li Wei left quietly.

……

An endless land of darkness.

A world of scorching heat.

This place is quite far from Nora.

In the dark lands, a crimson wizard's tower floated silently. The Flame Servant gazed at the crimson world in the deep sky, his face filled with joy.

After breaking through to the seventh ring senior realm, the Flame Servant witnessed Li Wei's growth potential and abandoned his revenge plan.

He sensed that the Flame Mountain world was bound to fall to the demon army, so he left the place ahead of time.

Relying on the wizard's tower, they wander through the dark lands, heading further afield in search of a secluded paradise that suits them.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, although he encountered many dangers, he managed to get through them all without serious injury.

"There is always a way out. In the vast darkness, there is such a treasure land. Although it is not big, it is suitable for my cultivation and is very safe. Apart from some black beasts, there are no signs of demonic invasion. It seems that there are traces of indigenous civilization. If I enslave them, they can also find resources for me."

……

Ancient Dragon Continent.

Li Wei returned safely after his fruitless mission.

For him, this was just a minor incident and he didn't care about it at all.

In the blink of an eye, four years have passed.

Nora, 454.

The 240th year of the bloody battle.

Li Wei's mental strength has reached 10520, less than 500 away from the seventh ring of perfection.

Over the years, he has cultivated "Wild Voice" and "Shadow Wind" to the fifteenth level, and the spell "Coin of Fortune" has also been cultivated to the sixteenth level, the seventh ring level, which is enough for him to cast the fortune spell on himself, who is a seventh ring wizard.

According to the spell's description, it was supposed to transform bad luck into good luck. However, after trying it, Li Wei couldn't see any difference.

Spells related to fate are too complex; sometimes, when you're caught up in the situation, you're blinded by a single leaf and can't see the whole picture.

He believed that since the Black Abyss Walker had instructed him to focus on learning this spell, it must have unexpected effects.

Just like the Lover's Rune, fate plays a part in everything. This is also a kind of rule, only it's not as obvious as earth, fire, feng shui.

Over the years, Li Wei has learned another top-tier seventh-ring spell, which belongs to the Light faction but also involves spatial knowledge. Its name is "The Light of Exile".

Once cast, it has the potential to banish dark creatures, including demons, to a cage-like dimension of spacetime, exiling them for a period of time until the spell's effects wear off, at which point they can return to the real world. During this time, the wizard can use the opportunity to escape.

This spell is primarily used against powerful demons that wizards cannot defeat. Once mastered to its limit, it has a 90% chance of successfully banishing demons of the same level.

For those who are more than one major realm higher, there is a 30% chance of success; for those who are two major realms higher, there is a 10% chance of success; but it is ineffective against level 10 demons.

In other words, if Li Wei masters this technique, there is a one in ten chance that a level nine demon will be banished for a period of time upon a successful hit, allowing him to escape unscathed.

Of course, the duration of the banishment will decrease as the demon's strength increases.

This is the same type of spell as the Ice Frost faction's "Absolute Freezing Point." "Absolute Freezing Point" involves some aspects of the Way of Time, while "Exiled Light" involves the Way of Space, both of which are extremely difficult to cultivate.

Once Li Wei masters these two spells, his survivability will increase significantly. Of course, he won't be completely invincible, as casting time and a successful hit are still required. Level nine beings aren't fools; they won't wait to be hit by a spell, but it's still a method.

at the same time.

Li Wei's Crimson Dragon Breathing Technique has also advanced to the mid-stage of level seven. The power of all types of magical abilities has been enhanced. The diameter of the [Crimson Blood Prison] domain has increased to 12 kilometers.

[Power Rune] upgraded to Tier 16, power increase reaches 200%; [Moon Rune] upgraded to Tier 9, lifespan increase reaches 80%; [Fool Rune] upgraded to Tier 7, fooling and precognition power increase by 60%; [Magic Rune] upgraded to Tier 5, casting speed increase by 40%.

Today's runewords are no longer what the original author intended. With the help of the proficiency panel, they have taken a path that the original author never imagined.

Even if the original author were alive, his achievements would be difficult to match Li Wei's. After all, he only compiled and translated the Starforger civilization's "Words of the Stars," and his own cultivation was not necessarily higher than Li Wei's.

"Now that the Fool's Rune has been upgraded, I'll see who's trying to harm me."

When Li Wei's consciousness entered his mind, he saw a scene of deathly aura and dense black mountains reappearing on the pig's face.

"It must be hell, but I don't know exactly where."

He imprinted the image on his mind, and then summoned two skeletons, Little Pink and Little Black.

"Give this stone tablet to the Witch of the Realm of Colors and let her help me see where this is."

Little Pink nodded obediently, then pulled Little Black along, and returned to Hell.

At the same time, they also brought news of their second brother with them.

Li Wei looked delighted after reading it.

"My second brother has already been marked with 21 witch marks. He is not far from 22 marks. It seems that he can advance to the seventh ring within a hundred years. Moreover, he is a rare seventh-ring cultivator who combines body tempering and magic cultivation."

After calculating, it's true that the Purgatory Demon Sword has been stuck at the sixth ring perfection for several hundred years in order to obtain the 22 witch marks. Other genius wizards would certainly not have the courage, patience, or resources to do so.

"My second brother is truly a legendary figure!"

Not long after, news came from the Hell Sisters.

They say the place Li Wei saw seems to be in the eighth level of hell, but they can't say exactly where it is yet, and they've already sent people to investigate.

……

Two years later.

Nora calendar year 456, Blood War year 242.

Cultivation knows no time, and the passing of years is unknowable; Li Wei is 880 years old.

With such a luxurious lineup of secret medicines as the Black Lotus Beast, the Rift Dragon, and the Fire-Breathing Dragon, the Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique is progressing more and more smoothly, and is not far from the late stage of level seven.

The same applies to the Golden Dragon. The combination of the Four-Legged Serpent and the Earth-Splitting Dragon is far superior to the previous level six secret medicines.

Although the Death Dragon Breathing Technique broke through to level seven relatively late, it began to accelerate with the combination of [Black Phoenix], [Ash Dragon], and [Fire Dragon], and is not far from the mid-level of level seven.

Although the Ash Dragon is young and low-level, it is still a pure-blooded dragon, and its secret medicine is quite effective. However, Li Wei is worried that it won't grow up, so he always uses it in combination with other fire-type dragons.

The Heavenly King Dragon's [Wind Dragon] secret medicine has been used up, and the [Heavenly Leisure Dragon General - Wind and Dust Dragon] is still asleep. Li Wei dares not forcibly wake it up, lest it delay its evolution.

He had previously observed its condition and had faintly sensed a very pure dragon's might. Once it awakens, it will likely undergo earth-shattering changes and may become the first dragon general of the Dragon Palace!

The Crimson Dragon also uses the [Vampire Dragon] secret medicine. Although it's not level seven, it can still cultivate slowly, so Li Wei isn't in a hurry.

What made him somewhat anxious was the breakthrough of the Nightmare Dragon. There had been no news of the Nightmare Dragon Clan for a long time, and while other breathing techniques were almost at the mid-stage of level seven, it had not yet been able to advance.

He began to deploy more of his men to search for information about the Nightmare Dragon Clan, and also assigned special personnel to examine and organize Leon's memory discs, regardless of their quality.

Having previously obtained information about the Flame Servant by chance, Li Wei was reminded that even a low-level being's memories might be useful to him.

Every living being is a point, seemingly insignificant, yet it is a part of the vast multitude of beings.

They all intersect with other points to varying degrees, thus forming a complex network of interpersonal and causal relationships.

The job of this type of person is to sort out useful information, organize and summarize it, and make it available for his review and reporting.

Over the years, both the Three-Body and the Hundred Flowers have been thriving in the God-Abandoned Continent, each bearing huge bounties and becoming thorns in the side of demons, with repeated encirclements and counter-encirclements taking place.

Ms. Lucy was also interested in the "Millennium Potion," but she was too busy with the war to participate in the research herself. So she compiled her insights and experiences from her past research on longevity potions into a knowledge notebook and gave it to Levi and Triss as a return gift.

In his spare time, Li would research potions and share knowledge with Triss through the Nightmare World. Baihua would also participate in such discussions during her free time.

Although progress has been slow, people have gained some understanding of the basic theoretical knowledge of life-extending drugs.

This day.

Inside the tower of the Nightmare World.

Levi and Triss had just finished a pleasant discussion about potions.

Shortly after, his men came to report.

"My lord, we have discovered clues about the Nightmare Dragon Clan. In the easternmost part of the Pale Domain, bordering the Blood Sea Domain, there is a city called Glau. The city lord is Skinner Ben, who keeps a vicious dragon in the city named Golden Spear Angang. It should be the Nightmare Dragon Clan that you need."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, finally we have news."

The Blood Rain Realm alone is vast and boundless, not to mention the entire Pale Domain. The Nightmare World is unimaginably large. Most Nightmare Lords spend their entire lives within their own small territory and rarely venture far.

His Black Dragon Territory was located in the desolate border region of the Pale Domain, requiring him to traverse an entire domain to reach Grau City. But for the sake of advancement, he had no other choice.

Without further ado, he instructed everyone to keep an eye on the territory and asked Triss to look after it for him as well. Then, he took Lope and embarked on his first long journey into the Nightmare World.

……

Grau.

It is also known as the "City of Gold" and the "City of Wealth".

Lope transformed into an ugly little water monkey, perched on Li Wei's shoulder, gazing at the city ahead.

According to the intelligence Li Wei possessed, the Lord of Glau City was an eighth-level powerhouse, and his true form was a monster called the [Skinner].

The Skinner's real name is Ben. He is dictatorial, cruel, stingy, and loves to oppress, exploit, and suck blood.

The distant city of Grau was unlike most of the nightmarish cities Li Wei had seen. It had many steampunk-style buildings, factories, and towering chimneys with billowing black smoke reaching into the sky.

All I saw along the way were humanoid nightmare creatures with numb faces, like machines, like walking corpses. They were ragged, emaciated, and had no facial features, looking more like gold coins.

At the very center of the gold coin is a human figure wearing a tall hat, a large belly, and a tailcoat. He is smiling and has a mouthful of big gold teeth.

Welcome to the city of wealth, the city of dreams!

Above the city, such an alluring phrase floated in the air, and Li Wei seemed to see endless gold coins waving at him.

The world of nightmares is full of wonders.

Li Wei was used to all of this.

He probably also learned how the Lord of Grau was born.

"The Skinner is a Level 8 early-stage powerhouse, with strength similar to the Black Death King. Although I am not afraid of him, there is no need to confront him head-on. If I die, I will have to travel thousands of miles back from Black Dragon Territory to be resurrected, which is too troublesome..."

He lurked nearby, observing the situation in the city, and killed another gold coin man, allowing Leon to read his memories.

After watching the DVD, he muttered to himself.

"The Skinner, who loves gold coins, leaves the city every seven days to collect them from his territories. This day is called the 'Festival of Gratitude'... So I will make my move on this day."

The Golden Spear was a dragon captured by the Skinners in the Chaotic Wilderness. Legend has it that it was covered in golden armor, inlaid with golden teeth, and draped in golden dragon wings. It was crafted for it by the Skinners themselves.

It was imprisoned in a giant underground factory in the city of Grau, where many outsiders had been captured by the Skinners and brought to the Nightmare World.

Like the Spider-Man, many Nightmare Lords invade multiple dimensions, pulling outsiders into the Nightmare World, keeping them captive, and providing them with "emotional value."

But unlike those who came in through Rivera, these poor outsiders, if they died in the Nightmare World, were truly dead.

Li Wei's Nightmare Lord ability is synthesized through the proficiency panel and is unique.

Several days later.

Above the city of Grau.

A figure, laughing heartily and dragging a sack, left the city, muttering to itself:

"Today was another fulfilling and wonderful day."

In the shadows, Li Wei watched the powerful figure depart.

"The skinners are going to take sacks to collect the money."

……

"Get to work!"

"I haven't even had a break, and you damned servants dare to rest?"

Inside a giant factory whose purpose was unknown, a group of strangers of various appearances stared in fear at a golden dragon hovering in the air.

Its shape is similar to that of a typical evil dragon, much like a fire-breathing dragon, but it is adorned with gold and silver, making it more magnificent.

"I'm so tired, Lord Dragon, I need to take a break."

"It was said by a stranger who looked human."

The dragon squinted its eyes, exuding a dangerous aura.

"Okay, you can rest now, and then make up for the lost work time by working double the amount later."

The human hesitated and said:

"But Lord Dragon, there are only 24 hours in a day... How can I make up for it by doubling the hours?"

The dragon snorted coldly.

"I don't care, this is an order. If you don't work harder to produce more, how am I supposed to maintain this golden armor?"

Human dared not rest; he continued to do meaningless work in the factory. Oh God, what the hell was this place producing?

When will I wake up from this nightmare?

"I want to go home!"

"I'm so tired!"

Countless negative emotions—fear, despair, helplessness, resentment—formed wisps of invisible power that surged out of the factories and into the flesh-and-blood mother tree within the territory, nourishing the Nightmare Lord and giving birth to even more Nightmare creatures.

"Level 7 late stage, stronger than I imagined, but I'm not sure if it's a sub-dragon of the Khorne Overlord."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Wei still took action.

His figure stepped out and appeared out of thin air.

Like a ray of light, he shot towards the Golden Spear. Sensing the impending danger, the Golden Spear's golden armor shone brightly, forming a golden barrier. The armor on the dragon, though described as gold, was actually made of a special precious metal from the Nightmare World, unlike the gold spoken of by mortals in the material plane.

Click.

Li Wei's fist transformed into a [blood-red drill], which began to spin rapidly.

The barrier, which was strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from a late-stage level seven cultivator, shattered instantly. Li Wei grabbed the tail of the golden spear and unleashed a powerful burst of energy, sending two figures flying off the factory's dome and into the sky.

"Who are you? I am the pet of Ben the Skinner!"

The Golden Spear is still confused about the situation.

Ignoring everything else, Li Wei slammed his fist, the size of a sandbag, into the head of the golden spear, cracking the golden armor and knocking out several of its large gold teeth.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

The golden spear cried out in pain.

It tried to escape, but was captured by the Bag of Gluttony.

The Bag of Gluttony is now a seventh-circle sorcerer's artifact, and trapping the dragon won't be a problem for the time being. It's not safe to stay here any longer, so Li Wei put the golden dragon in the bag, carried it on his shoulder, and left Grau City on the "Silver Chariot".

After traversing through the void, he was already tens of thousands of miles away in no time.

The golden spear broke through the seal of the Gluttony Bag, and it opened its mouth to spew out endless golden flames. Wherever the flames swept, molten gold solidified, coating its surface with a layer of gold.

Li Wei's golden gravity swept away the blazing flames, and Lope transformed into a three-thousand-meter-tall giant ape, launching a sneak attack from behind the golden spear!

boom!

After a powerful blow, the golden helmet of the Golden Spear shattered completely, its head buzzing as it crashed to the ground.

Li Wei snapped his fingers, and a terrifying pillar of lightning struck down from the sky, engulfing the golden spear. A sea of ​​lightning raged, destroying everything.

In just a few rounds, this late-stage level seven dragon was easily defeated by Li Wei and Lope, leaving him half-dead.

"Who exactly are you?"

Golden Spear just wants to figure this out.

Li Wei landed on the ground, crimson flames burning in his palms. Behind him emerged six invincible, earth-shattering phantoms of dragons, their dragon might twisting together to form waves that crashed against the Golden Spear's mind.

"I am your master. If you acknowledge me as your master, you will live."

The Golden Spear lamented:

"If you admit it, then admit it. Why did you have to resort to violence right away?"

As soon as it had recognized its master, Li Wei sensed an immense sense of danger approaching.

"The Skinner - It's True!"

But then the heavens and earth collapsed, and beams of golden light fell from the sky, surrounding Li Wei and sealing off the void.

A gold coin flew through the air and transformed into a gentleman in a suit and tie, wearing a top hat.

It smiled, but its smile concealed a dagger as it spoke:

"Do you know who I am? How dare you kidnap my pet?"

Without saying a word, Li Wei snapped his fingers again.

Boom! Boom!

Two consecutive lightning strikes brought it down!

The skinner, with its elegant dance steps, actually dodged Li Wei's attack. With a flick of its finger, a gold coin flew straight at Li Wei's face.

Li Wei's figure flashed, and the gold coin exploded!

A golden shockwave swept across a radius of a hundred miles, instantly tearing apart several layers of his protective force field and sending him flying. Even his indestructible armor trembled and hummed, clearly reaching its limit, but it still managed to defend itself.

"This skinner is incredibly strong."

Li Wei raised his hand, and the Nine-Colored Emperor appeared from the heavens and earth, standing behind him. Lope also appeared from the void, and his bone club smashed towards the Skinner!

Countless gold coins flew out from the skinner and surrounded him.

Duang!

Lope's bone club was nearly knocked away. It steadied itself and stared at the skinner as if facing a formidable enemy.

On the other side, the spirits of Maya and the wind spirits rushed in, their innate spells roaring, and the Emperor's Sword fell from the sky!

Facing an enemy of level eight, Li Wei dared not be careless.

As the terrifying attack struck, the Skinner's expression changed slightly, clearly not expecting that this mid-level seventh-grade enemy would possess such strength.

Rumble!

Gold coins flew out, colliding with Li Wei's dazzling innate spells and elemental soul spells, exploding like brilliant fireworks, creating a world-ending scene within a radius of hundreds of miles.

The Black Soul Tower flew out, and Li Wei sat on it. A death storm covering hundreds of miles pulled the Skinner into it. Two elusive dark spirits materialized, and the Death Scythe slashed towards the Skinner.

This skinner is quite formidable; no matter what methods Li Wei uses, it can always resolve them with a few gold coins.

"Wizard Tower... Looks like you're from out of town."

A handful of gold coins appeared in the skinner's hand. Its form changed, bursting through its tailcoat, and it transformed into a three-meter-tall, ugly-faced, sharp-clawed ferocious creature, its scarlet tongue flicking out.

Its body is covered with scales made up of gold coins, and among those gold coins are twisted faces, all of which were skinned alive by it.

In an instant, thousands upon thousands of twisted evil spirits swept towards Li Wei. With a wave of his hand, Li Wei summoned the Shadow Dragons in full force. In both quantity and quality, they surpassed his former minnows.

With the help of the Wizard Tower and other means, Li Wei fought the Skinner to a standstill, while Lope also harassed him from time to time.

But as a skinner, it would never allow its things to be taken away; it would be worse than being killed.

As time went on, Li Wei gradually gained the upper hand due to the powerful endurance and stamina of the Uranus and the indestructible body of the Death Dragon.

The skinner's universal gold coins are not inexhaustible; each one used reduces the remaining amount, requiring a long time to accumulate. A third of the gold coin scales on its body have already disappeared.

As an eighth-level powerhouse, the Skinner was somewhat shocked that it had been unable to defeat its enemy for so long. It had dominated this area for so many years, and this was the first time it had encountered such a situation.

In contrast, Li Wei became increasingly fierce in battle.

Seven Suns Descend Upon the Boundary!

Thunder Beast Technique!

His seventh-ring spells, which he had honed to their limit, were no less powerful than ordinary eighth-ring spells. Under such a barrage, the Skinner was already showing signs of retreating.

With a heavy heart, it unleashed another pile of gold coins, which exploded one after another. Li Wei dared not withstand it head-on. He used the evasion technique of the Peng Snake Path to avoid the core impact, and his arm transformed into a long spear!

Ultimate Gun Technique + Roc Serpent Path!

At this moment, he is the god of marksmanship, navigating through a hail of bullets!

A flash of cold light appeared first, followed by the spear thrusting out like a dragon!

The skinner's head was actually pierced and exploded by Li Wei; its body burst open, scattering into countless gold coins, and the sound drifted back:

"I won't let you get away with this!"

boom!

The barrier seal woven by Li Wei was shattered.

He glanced at the badly injured Lope and the trembling golden spear in the corner, then quickly left with them. The skinner wasn't dead; his methods were strange, unlike those of an ordinary early-stage level eight.

The battlefield is tens of thousands of miles away.

No one knows who lost a gold coin in the wilderness.

A moment later, the gold coin transformed into a golden dimensional halo, from which emerged a figure covered in wounds—it was Ben the Skinner.

"I can't believe I've been pushed to this point by someone with only a level 7 skill..."

The skinner pocketed the gold coin and quickly left; it was badly injured and dared not linger in the wilderness.

Time flies. After a lot of running around, Li Wei successfully kidnapped the Golden Spear and returned to Black Dragon Territory. He was far from Grau City, so he wasn't too worried that the Skinner would come looking for trouble.

If the skinner hadn't run away and had fought him to the death, the skinner would have been the one to die. After this battle, Li Wei was even more confident in his own strength.

He placed the golden spear in Black Dragon Territory and instructed Lope to keep an eye on it.

After obtaining the bloodline essence, he returned to the real world.

Everything is ready now, except for the promotion.

……

Two years later.

Nora, 458.

A bloody battle that lasted 244 years.

Good news came from the God-Forsaken Continent: the Burning Expeditionary Force suffered a major defeat in the all-out war with the Deep Blue Legion, losing nearly ten level-eight powerhouses. On the other hand, the Wizards only suffered one death and four injuries.

Most importantly, Lucy also discovered the hiding place of Nova, the leader of the Burning Crusade, and the two engaged in an earth-shattering battle.

To many people's surprise, Nova was actually a level nine demon who had been hiding his strength. Lucy was in danger, but she managed to hold him off for a long time with her powerful methods. Thanks to Lucy's restraint, Nova died from the "Dragon Flame" attack of the Dragon Flame God Witch.

After making a great contribution, Lucy topped the Level 9 Demon Slayer Ranking. She then led her legion in a victorious pursuit, destroying many demon lairs on the Forsaken Continent one by one.

This expeditionary force leader amazed the witch world.

But this victory was merely the tip of the iceberg of a bloody war. In other parts of the wizarding world, demonic calamities struck frequently, and the concentration of demonic energy in Nora steadily increased over the past two hundred years. The Forsaken Continent was transformed into a deep, demonic abyss.

The bloody battle is not yet won; the witch world still needs to work hard.

I've paid off all the missed monthly tickets. Now I'm asking for monthly tickets, recommendations, and subscriptions.

Correct typos first, then make proper changes.
