Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 473 The Promise of the Immortal Banyan Dragon: Returning to the Peak! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The Demon Fish Lord has fallen.

Lyon has now advanced to the mid-stage of level seven. Although he is far from being on par with the Demon Fish Grandmaster, his expertise is a perfect match. He quickly captured the Demon Fish's soul and carefully rolled it up.

With a wave of his hand, Li Wei dug out the level eight abyss core of the Demon Fish Grandmaster, then cut up its mutilated corpse and put it into his storage ring.

He looked at the sea covered in demonic blood, took out a jade-bottle-like magical artifact, chanted a spell, and absorbed the blood and seawater into it until the sea was completely dry.

"Yes, we must not waste resources, and we must not pollute the environment."

An eighth-level demon, every part of him is a treasure.

Some of the materials can be used to refine weapons, while the rest of the useless flesh and blood can be used to feed Ah Long, producing level eight fertilizer with remarkable effects.

Ms. Rowling's companion spirit can grow to be hundreds of miles long, so it must have consumed quite a few level eight or even level nine corpses.

That's why she was able to cultivate and research it so quickly, and successfully develop Oasis One.

The shattered space was restored, and the world returned to silence.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Li Wei took Leon and returned to Scudder Island.

Having just killed the Demon Fish Venerable, he suddenly gained 1.8 million battle merits, which is 1.8 times the average battle merit of an early-stage level 8 demon.

Li Wei never expected that the demon he had beaten to death with his wild punches would be so powerful.

"It has to be an eighth-level demon hunt, which is equivalent to a year's worth of non-stop demon hunting harvest. Hunting low-level demons is safe, but it's too inefficient. All the time is wasted on searching and traveling."

"But I have to say that hunting an eighth-level demon is still quite dangerous. After all, it takes too long to deal with an eighth-level demon. It requires a protracted war and a war of attrition. If it calls for other helpers during this time, then I will have failed and will have no choice but to run away to save my life."

"Overall, relying on my primordial spirit, sorcerer's form, and knight's skills, I am currently quite capable of hunting down ordinary level eight benthic fish demons in a one-on-one situation."

"I was too cautious before. In fact, with my immortal body, I only need to stick to these big guys and fight them. Even if they escape through the void, they can't get rid of me."

"I'm being a bit too reckless, so I can't overdo it... I still need to upgrade [Silver Mountain Fall] and [Wind Illusion] to the late stage of level seven as soon as possible, and then learn a few more spells specifically for void sealing. If one isn't enough, I'll add more, and I'll be able to reliably stay at level eight!"

along the way.

Li Wei, reflecting on the gains and losses of this battle, was quite pleased with himself.

Without relying on the warband or Lope, he suppressed an eighth-level demon, leaving the opponent powerless to fight back from beginning to end.

Previously, he relied on killing the cave wizards in the sewers to fight opponents of higher levels and maintain his undefeated record.

Now, he can kill level eight demons openly and honestly, and he no longer needs the cave wizard!

Li Longwang is not bad.

……

Scudder Island.

Li Wei appeared out of thin air, and on the battlefield, the remnants of the demon legion scattered like birds and beasts after their leader left.

He summoned the Shadow Dragons and four spirit soldiers, wreaking havoc in all directions, while he temporarily hid to prevent the demons from launching a surprise attack.

With these reliable summons, he can simply stay out of the way and safely AFK hunt down demons below level seven.

After racking up over two million battle merits, he cleaned up the battlefield and left the outer sea area, intending to spend some time in the Starry Sea.

Based on Li Wei's analysis and divination, he felt that he needed to leave the outer sea area for a short period of time.

Level 8 demons are important commanders in the Abyss army; they are not commonplace and hold a very high position.

The Abyss will surely send other powerful beings to investigate the situation, so Li Wei is not afraid of level eight demons.

The worst fear is that once the Abyss discovers it is him, a level nine expert might risk their own demise to perish alongside Li Wei, which would be a huge loss.

……

Not long after.

Scudder Island.

Demonic blood stained the earth black, rivers of blood flowed, and black mist soared into the sky.

In the void, the Golden Wizard, dressed in a golden lightning robe, gazed at the battlefield with a somewhat puzzled expression.

"It's over? Has the Black Cat Legion fallen?"

After searching around, neither Demon Fish Grandmaster nor the Black Cat Battle Group could be found. Judging from the scene, it seemed that the demons had suffered heavy losses.

However, given the strength of the Black Cat Legion and those civilian demon-hunting groups, they should not be able to wipe out a well-prepared demon army.

Before long, he finally received the news, and his expression was quite interesting.

"It was him..."

The Black Cat Squad has been rescued, and the one who appeared at the scene was none other than the long-dormant Twilight Palace Master. He single-handedly stopped the Demon Fish Grandmaster and helped the Black Cat Squad escape.

"When the Twilight Palace Master appeared before, he was only at the initial stage of the seventh ring of cultivation. The Demon Fish Grand Venerable is a veteran level eight, not far from the mid-level eight. Has this person already grown to the point where he can hold his own against a level eight expert?"

The Golden Wizard carefully recalled the events and confirmed that the Twilight Temple Lord and his Letney family had no enmity. He then silently breathed a sigh of relief.

He also knew that some of the family's disciples and descendants might be a little arrogant and reckless, which could make them some enemies.

Most of the time, the Golden Wizard didn't care. After all, the Letney family was a behemoth and didn't need to pay attention to the grievances of those ants.

But ever since the family's fortunes declined, he has become particularly concerned about this, repeatedly warning his descendants not to cause trouble outside, otherwise it would be the last straw that breaks the family's back.

……

The Witch's House.

The Black Cat Wizards returned successfully, and the Cat Witch descended slowly through the void with elegant cat-like steps.

The old witch looked at her with a worried expression and said:

Are you alright?

The Cat Witch said:

"I'm alright, Witch. This matter has been full of twists and turns, but thankfully, there's always a way out. We were rescued by the Lord of Twilight Palace. The Lord and Triss are both my great benefactors."

Upon hearing this, the witch's face turned ugly, and she said:

"That damned Golden Wizard! His compatriots are in danger, and he's still playing tricks. What 'holding the line' is just an excuse. I have to go and complain to the Lord of the Star Tower."

The Cat Witch said:

"The Letney family just thinks we witches from the Witch's House are easy to bully, sigh."

The old witch said:

"The Lord of Twilight Temple's kindness certainly needs to be repaid. We will invite him in a few days and host a banquet. All the witches who are staying at home when there is no war should attend. Please spread the word."

The Cat Witch said:

"No problem, but I left in a hurry and I don't know if the Lord of Twilight Palace managed to escape safely, after all, he was facing an eighth-level demon."

The old witch said:

"Don't worry, I know the strength of the Twilight Palace Lord quite well. Even if he is no match for an eighth-level demon, he can still escape successfully. There have been many eighth-level demons who have tried to capture him over the years, but none of them have succeeded. He is a cautious person and will not do anything that puts him at risk... He might even be able to kill that demon in return."

The Cat Witch smiled upon hearing this.

"Witch, please don't joke around. Even if the Lord of Twilight Palace can defeat the Demon Fish Venerable, it shouldn't be enough to keep him here, after all, there's a huge difference in cultivation level."

After she finished speaking, she muttered to herself for a moment.

"Could it really be possible?"

With that in mind, she opened the Level 8 Demon Slayer Ranking.

Because the Twilight Palace Master ranked very high, she basically had an idea of ​​the points of the top ten.

The next moment, the cat witch's cherry-like lips parted slightly, her expression changing several times, before she suddenly sighed:

"Witch, you really guessed right. Not long ago, the Twilight Palace Master's points increased by 20 million in one go... I can't think of any other possibility besides hunting down an eighth-level monster."

The "old witch" was just a joke.

Little did I know that my words would come true.

A radiant smile spread across her aged face.

"Hahaha, we were right! This kid is really redefining our understanding of him time and time again. This Demon Fish Venerable has been wreaking havoc in the Sixth District for more than ten years, but today he was actually killed."

The Cat Witch patted her chest and said:

"Triss really understands the Twilight Palace Master. She said she could save us, and she really did. No wonder she doesn't want to go back to the Witch's House and spends all her time on the Ancient Dragon Continent."

……

Nightmare World.

Black Dragon Territory.

Inside the Wizard's Tower.

Li Wei's figure materialized.

"Madam, your friend is alright. We've accomplished our mission."

Triss said:

"Thank you, I owe you a favor."

Li Wei waved his hand and said:

"Madam, please don't be so formal. It was just a small favor."

Triss asked:

"Judging by your score, you must have already killed the Demon Fish Lord..."

Li Wei nodded.

Triss clapped her hands and gave Levi a thumbs-up with her white fingers.

"Impressive, no wonder you're my apprentice."

Li Wei laughed heartily.

"I'm logging off now."

Triss sighed inwardly.

The once-young Li Wei has now officially surpassed her, his teacher, in cultivation level, and is completely overwhelmed in strength.

Sigh, Ainya, who was the same age as Li Wei back then, is still struggling in the Sixth Ring Road area.

Is this what other people's children are like?

……

The continent abandoned by the gods.

"This Li Wei is so arrogant as to hunt down an eighth-level demon."

Elena looked at the Demon Slayer List in a sanctuary and pouted.

"He told us to be more cautious and conservative, but he went off to hunt down an eighth-level demon himself. Even if he's strong, he can't play like this. Saving people is enough; why fight to the death?"

Even so, Elena was still very proud. Any woman would feel the same way if she found such a dazzling and powerful husband.

All things considered, she has been hunting demons and cultivating on the God-Abandoned Continent for decades, but the points she has accumulated are only about the same as Li Wei's from one demon hunt. It's truly despairing to think about.

Elena simply didn't want to continue and buried herself in her cultivation.

……

half a month later.

The Sea of ​​Stars, Hades City.

Li Wei had not been there for a long time, and Wucheng seemed even more desolate.

Because of the Battle of the Endless Sea, some rogue wizards who could leave went to seek refuge or went to the battlefield to hunt demons.

Not long ago, he received an additional reward of tens of millions of battle merits, which should be an official reward for saving the Black Cat Squad.

Although it's better than nothing for a Sun-class artifact, it still saved Li Wei a lot of time.

For the past two weeks, he has been divining every day, and each time he has received a fairly clear warning of danger, as can be seen from the hexagram of the Fool's Rune.

The danger doesn't seem to have much to do with demons, but rather with death, most likely Lovi.

Therefore, he guessed that the wizard Narovi had already figured out a way to deal with him, and was probably searching for his whereabouts now, which made him cautious.

Luo Wei must have had some reliance to have plotted to kill him for so many years; he can't be complacent just because he killed an eighth-level enemy. After all, times have changed, and he has inevitably entered the spotlight.

He also obtained information about the location of the divination from the underworld. It is said that a powerful dragon once resided there, known as the "King of the Black Prison," which puzzled Li Wei.

He had absolutely no connection with that dragon. He even took the time to visit the eighth level of hell, but found no trace of the dragon. It seemed that the place had been deserted and no one knew where it had gone.

The Witch's House.

At the dinner to thank Li Wei.

The Cat Witch herself brought a glass of wine to offer a toast, her chest heaving, her face slightly flushed, and she smiled:

"Thank you so much, Lord Twilight Palace Master, for saving us. We are extremely grateful."

Li Weidao:

"You're welcome. After all, I was once an outside helper wizard at the Witch's House, and I even met a benefactor like Ms. Triss here."

Upon hearing this...

The old witch suddenly sighed:

"We sensed from the beginning that you were no ordinary person, but due to the ancestral precepts of the first witch, we dared not set a precedent by recruiting male witches. Otherwise, given Lord Li Wei's talent, we would certainly have extended an olive branch."

Li Weidao:

"Haha, I can understand."

He never intended to join a top wizarding organization; being an external wizard would suffice, since he was only close to Triss anyway.

A beautiful young woman in a floral dress landed in front of Li Wei; she was none other than Lady Izzysera, the Fairy Banyan Dragon.

"Little Li Wei, no, we can't call you that anymore. Mr. Li Wei, it's been a long time."

Li Wei laughed:

"Long time no see, ma'am."

He recalled the shock he felt when he first encountered a pure-blooded dragon like the Immortal Banyan Dragon. Now, however, they could be considered equals, after all, he too had slain an eighth-level demon.

In terms of strength, it is no less than the Immortal Banyan Dragon.

However, the Immortal Banyan Dragon does look bigger than before...

She started as a little girl, and now she's a young woman who has developed. Clearly, the Immortal Banyan Dragon possesses the ability to transform, but she usually disdains human form.

Immortal Banyan Dragon Path:

"Is Baihua still busy?"

Li Weidao:

"Yes."

He remembered the matter of the Hundred Flowers, so he took the opportunity to exchange pleasantries with Xianronglong and chatted for a long time.

During the banquet, numerous flamboyant and uniquely charismatic Yuanhun witches came to toast Li Wei, some of whom were even more daring and outspoken, making outrageous remarks.

"I am the fox witch, does Lord Li Wei need a companion?"

The old witch drove away all the beautiful female spirit witches, leaving only the Immortal Banyan Dragon and Li Wei.

The old witch asked:

"Li Wei, you said you wanted to trade with us, just ask. You've done us a favor, and we'll do our best to fulfill your request."

Li Wei looked at the Immortal Banyan Dragon and said:

"I would like to trade some blood essence with Ezosera, provided that it does not affect her health and growth, and I will also offer corresponding compensation."

Since this matter concerned the Witch's House, he did not speak with Xianronglong alone to avoid any misunderstandings.

The old witch smiled bitterly:

"As for this matter, I really can't make the decision. You and Izzysera can talk about it yourselves. Our Witch House won't interfere."

After saying that, she left the place on her own.

Izora asked:

"Are you training for Elena's Knight Breathing Technique?"

Li Wei said:

"Yes, I have some dragon scale fruit here, all of high quality. It should not only make up for your deficit, but also help you."

Izosera paused, then said:

"You actually have such a good thing? It seems that there are quite a few dragons being raised on the Ancient Dragon Continent."

Li Wei smiled slightly.

Izzysera continued to ask:

"I don't know much about knights. I've always had a question in my mind: if a knight keeps getting stronger and eventually approaches the level of the bloodline source, say level eight, then the next step is to kill the existence of the bloodline source in order to advance to level nine?"

Li Wei was speechless, not expecting Xianronglong to ask this.

He said:

"Does the lady need me to tell the truth?"

Xianronglong nodded seriously.

Li Weidao:

"I don't know, because we are all pioneering on this path. I can only see the road in front of me and the vague road ahead. Everything is changing, and with my current level of understanding, I dare not make any conclusions."

But based on the information I have so far, it's not necessary. Although the Knight path is based on bloodline, it doesn't mean we have to completely revert to our ancestral ways. We are simply using the power within our bloodline to break through the limits of the human body and gradually try to reach higher levels.

Li Wei said this.

It's because the White Wolf Girl had already reached the level of her Blood Lord, the Silver Frost Wolf, a long time ago.

Instead of killing the Silver Frost Wolf, she used the bloodline of the Frost Moon Blade Wolf to fuse with it, evolving it into the higher-level Silver Moon Azure Wolf.

In fact, whether it is evolution, advancement, or even the secret medicines for daily cultivation, it does not need to rely on the bloodline of the Blood Calamity Lord himself.

All you need is a bloodline of the same or similar type. It can only be said that using the Blood Calamity Lord would yield even better cultivation results.

However, this doesn't mean that knights must kill the Blood Lord to advance in the final stage; it doesn't mean there has to be a life-or-death struggle. They can find a similar being to defeat and advance. But if there's no similar being, Li Wei currently doesn't know what to do.

He was merely feeling his way across the river by feeling for stones; how could he possibly see so far ahead? He was just a cheater, not Sauron, the ancestor of wizards.

There's always a way out. If there truly is no way out, then it's fate, the path you chose, and there's nothing to complain about.

Of course, Li Wei himself wasn't worried; he still had the path of a wizard.

However, the Twilight Eighteen Riders, or any other knights, need to be mentally prepared for this.

Before one can completely break free from the shackles of bloodline, the path of bloodline will always be restricted by bloodlines of a higher level.

Li Wei asked:

"Are you worried that we'll harm you once we grow up?"

Xianronglong always gets straight to the point.

"Yes, I can't raise a tiger that will threaten me. If Elena advances in the future and needs the Immortal Banyan Dragon bloodline crystal, will you kill me?"

Li Wei replied without hesitation:

"Won't."

Xianronglong saw that Li Wei's attitude was sincere.

It laughed:

"Am I a bit more suspicious than other dragons you've met?"

Li Weidao:

"This is the natural behavior of living beings. On the contrary, I think the lady is a very intelligent dragon, more astute than any other dragon I have ever met."

Just look at those brain-dead sub-dragons in his Dragon Palace. A dragon like the Immortal Banyan is truly rare.

Immortal Banyan Dragon Path:

"I agree to make a deal with you, but I have one more condition that you must agree to."

Li Weidao:

"Please speak, madam."

Immortal Banyan Dragon Path:

"My contract with the guardian of the Witch's House will expire in five hundred years. After it expires, I want to sign a contract with you and become your guardian. At the same time, you must promise not to harm me in the future. Our Immortal Banyan Dragon clan is very rare... If I am gone, you may never find another Immortal Banyan Dragon in the vast universe."

The girl played with her palm. As an ancient being who had lived for nearly ten thousand years, she felt a little uneasy. The reason why the Immortal Banyan Dragon said this was firstly to protect itself, and secondly because it had its eye on the potential of the Twilight Palace Master.

Being a guardian is also a skill.

It realized that the Witch's House, with its current momentum, would find it difficult to rise to prominence and achieve great success in the future.

This ancestral precept of only accepting witches is a self-inflicted trap; they will be doomed sooner or later. There is no future in this organization.

Unlike the Twilight Palace Master, whose Ancient Dragon Continent is thriving, in less than a thousand years since its founding, the Ancient Dragon Continent has already produced dozens of Level 6 and several Level 7 individuals, earning the favor of the council's high-ranking officials.

The Lord of Twilight Temple is a rare genius, unparalleled in history. He revitalized the path of the knight, which had been doomed. With his level seven body, he fought against level eight. He witnessed all his achievements.

Therefore, the Fairy Banyan Dragon, who planned to stay in the wizarding world long-term, needed to find a new home. After spending thousands of years in the Witch's House, it first ruled out other top wizarding organizations.

I should try finding other great wizards or legendary wizards; it seems I'm not qualified yet, and I might not even be valued. After much thought, the Ancient Dragon Continent seems quite suitable.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei was secretly delighted.

"Is this for real?"

He said:

"If you were to come with me, madam, wouldn't the Witch's House have some complaints?"

Stealing your guardian is also a form of NTR.

Before this, he had already poached Elena, Twenty-Four Flowers, Aonia, Triss... He even suspected that after a while, the entire Witch House would be merged into the Ancient Dragon Continent.

Immortal Banyan Dragon Path:

"Once my contract expires, I will be free. It's a mutual agreement, so the old witch won't say anything."

Li Weidao:

"Very well, I'll wait for you for five hundred years, ma'am."

The Immortal Banyan Dragon extended its slender fingers and said:

"No need for any solemn oaths, let's pinky swear."

Li Wei smiled wryly.

"Okay, pinky promise."

After finishing his business, Li Wei left the Witch's House with enough blood essence for Baihua to cultivate for a period of time.

……

The continent abandoned by the gods.

Deep Blue Legion's base.

Looking at the battle reports from the front lines, Lucy immediately learned that the Demon Fish Lord had been hunted down and killed by Li Wei, and couldn't help but smile.

"I didn't expect that he would achieve such great feats in just over two years in the Endless Sea. He is a highly mobile elite battle group that can provide support to various places at any time, which has relieved a lot of pressure for us."

Inside a cave.

Li Wei and Baihua secretly cultivated together in this place for more than ten days. The two fought to the peak, and the Yin and Yang Dao were obliterated.

Afterwards, Baihua looked at the blood essence in the bottle, her face flushed, and said:

"Thank you very much. With these level eight Immortal Banyan Dragon bloodline essences, the knight's cultivation will be much more convenient from now on... But next time, don't risk hunting level eight dragons. You have such a long lifespan, why be in such a hurry?"

Li Weidao:

"I know you don't understand me. I wouldn't take any risks without being absolutely certain... But you, be careful here."

After parting ways with Baihua, Li Wei went to hunt demons alone on the God-Forsaken Continent. He planned to return after the Endless Sea storm subsided. He continued this pattern of constantly changing locations, playing a hit-and-run game, relying heavily on randomness.

……

Six months later.

Li Wei's act of saving the Black Cat Squad and his heroic deeds were reported in the daily newspaper, and the witch community praised him highly.

Some observant individuals even deduced from Li Wei's score increase that he had single-handedly killed an eighth-level demon.

In no time, news of the Twilight Palace Master's solo hunt down of an eighth-level demon spread like wildfire.

Prior to this, only the top three on the leaderboard had ever single-handedly fought an eighth-level wizard. Other seventh-ring wizards mostly relied on battle formations to achieve this. The world increasingly witnessed the unfathomable depth and power of the Twilight Palace Master.

Somewhere in the Endless Sea.

An ordinary-looking white-robed wizard stood still, looking at the news from the wizarding world.

"This...this Twilight Palace Lord actually seems to have killed an eighth-level demon, how is that possible?"

This white-robed wizard was none other than the Black Dragon Wizard who intended to hunt down the Lord of Twilight Temple. He had gone into hiding, searching for his whereabouts in the Endless Sea, but unexpectedly, he heard such news.

After some thought, the Black Dragon Wizard quietly left the wizarding world, muttering to himself.

"This person can kill an eighth-level demon. With my current strength, even if I were to face him, I might not be able to win. I still have enough lifespan, so there's no need to take the risk. I'll find another opportunity later. Extending lifespan doesn't necessarily require the Turtle King Fruit; there are other methods... That guy Luo Wei is nearing his end, so he certainly won't give up. It's a good opportunity to let him test the true strength of the Twilight Palace Master. I'll watch from the sidelines and act accordingly."

……

As the Black Dragon Wizard had said, Lovi, who was also searching for Levi, learned of this rumor.

He was already half convinced, but looking at his own aging body, nearing the end of his life, he sighed:

"I have no way out but to move forward. Even if I die, I will have no regrets. With the Black Prison Beast and the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon, I still have a relatively high chance of success. It's worth the gamble."

……

Two years later.

Nora in 482, the Battle of 268.

Li Wei, who was hunting demons on the God-Abandoned Continent, stopped and found a safe place to enter the Ancient Banyan Wonderland.

From the shadow behind him, a giant fish phantom, thousands of meters long, appeared, its head covered with tentacles and exuding a level seven aura, exactly the same as the [Demon Fish Grandmaster] that Li Wei had killed.

"I've got my first level seven shadow. Not bad, not bad. From now on, I won't even need to lift a finger against level seven demons. With the strength of the Demon Fish Shadow, ordinary level seven demons are no match for it."

Outside the Dragon Palace.

A yellowish-brown earthquake dragon survived the blood calamity without serious injury and advanced to level six.

Li Weidao:

"Ganster is also at level six."

Of the three Earthquake Dragon brothers, it was the last to reach magnitude six and also the youngest. After Ganster passed his tribulation, he excitedly flew over and asked:

"Your Majesty, what general am I?"

Li Weidao:

"You are the Heavenly Star Dragon General."

Gan, Wen, and Cui respectively symbolize the sun, moon, and stars; the sun in the sky; the moon in the sky; and the stars in the sky.

With the three Earthquake Dragon brothers advancing to level six, all of the sub-dragons that Li Wei brought from the ancient tower, except for the slow-moving Turtle Prime Minister, have now reached level six, which greatly comforts Li Wei.

For the Earthquake Dragon, level six is ​​the complete form. The three brothers have already reached adulthood and may improve their level slightly as they enter their prime, but it will be difficult for them to advance to level seven.

For dragons in the wild, they could simply live a life of leisure, collecting gold coins and passing the rest of their days, like the fire-breathing dragon back then.

However, due to the existence of the Nightmare World, the three brothers are still very ambitious and are dedicated to making the Dragon Palace famous in the new world, and they are so engrossed in it that they cannot extricate themselves.

In the past two years of full-time demon hunter, Li Wei's demon-slaying ranking points have reached 2.6 million, once again breaking into the top three. However, the public in the witch world had already predicted this, so they were no longer surprised.

In the past two years, Li Wei has hunted down another level eight fire demon, consolidating his record of defeating an level eight demon. Wizards have already begun to regard him as an eighth-ring wizard... The demons are the same; to guard against Li Wei, level eight demons are usually in pairs and rarely alone. Li Wei takes a relaxed approach, prioritizing safety and adopting a Zen-like attitude.

At the same time, he could sense that Rowe was tracking him, which made him extra wary during his demon hunts, preventing him from concentrating. He felt he needed to find a suitable opportunity to lure the snake out of its hole and strike first, rather than continuing to be passive.

……

In this way...

Four years later.

Nora, 486.

The 272th year of the bloody war.

Li Wei is 910 years old. In four years, he has once again climbed back to the top of the Demon Slayer Ranking with 3.2 million points. Li Wei is completely unmoved by this and has no reaction whatsoever.

[Congratulations on reaching the top again! — Javier.]

"Hey buddy, take a break, don't overwork yourself. — Gatling gun"

Congratulations. — The Sword of Light

Congratulations! — Lucy

[The commander is awesome! — Emperor Mu]

"Shall we celebrate tonight?" — Elena.

Looking at these comments, Li Wei smiled.

Over the years, he's gotten to know the people at the top of the leaderboard quite well, exchanging contact information and getting to know each other. The competition between them is quite interesting.

With a formidable enemy at hand, those people didn't even consider using underhanded tactics against him, probably because they were simply outmatched...

He responded politely to each question, muttering to himself:

"Ms. Lucy congratulated me again."

"We got first place, we should celebrate tonight."

After replying to the message, he was about to go find Baihua.

Suddenly, his face lit up with joy.

"Victor has been promoted to Senior Seventh Ring, not bad. Looks like we can start taking action soon."

……

The western part of the God-abandoned Continent.

A battlefield.

A level 7 late-stage Heavenly Wrath Demon, wreaking havoc with boundless fury, is wreaking havoc in all directions.

A demon-hunting squad led by a Yuanhun Wizard was dismantled without a moment's resistance and was completely swallowed up by the Heavenly Wrath Demon.

"Ha, with this little strength, they dare to come to the Forsaken Continent? Do these wizards really think they're invincible just because they defeated the Burning Expeditionary Force?"

After clearing the battlefield, it once again led a group of fire demons and heavenly wrath demons toward other places.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Suddenly, a thousand-meter-tall demon-suppressing shaman appeared in front of them, striking out with millions of palms like a thousand-armed Guanyin!

"The Divine Palm of the Bright King!"

The Demon King's expression changed slightly.

"Gandalf! Oh no, the Three Heroes of Gondor are here!"

Its powerful paws shattered Gandalf's attack, but suddenly it suffered a severe blow to its back and was sent flying.

Instead, a ferocious crimson lion with bared fangs and claws, and a muscular snowman appeared out of thin air, launching a sneak attack on it.

A small crimson serpent was coiled around the lion's neck. It was Roman. Although its strength was average, it could still inflict some injuries on the Heavenly Wrath Demon, so it was still somewhat useful.

The Nine Dragon Umbrella of Purgatory appeared, sealing off the void, while the Seven Feather Fans of Frost Sky waved, unleashing a torrent of icy flames.

The Purple Extreme Sacred Dragon coiled around the sky, exuding an imposing aura. The Sacred Infant wore a purple robe, his purple hair flying, and his eyes flashing with icy and fiery light.

"Damn it!"

Even though the Heavenly Wrath Demon was at the late stage of level seven, he was still extremely panicked.

Over the years, more than one-handedly-sized level 7 beings have died at the hands of the three Gondor heroes... The mere appearance of Gandalf and the Holy Infant has brought it immense pressure, and it knows that the most formidable one is Victor!

The three of them were always inseparable, like brothers.

A voice, ethereal and otherworldly, drifted from the high heavens.

"Seven Stars Seal the Boundary!"

A sword sang across the sky, and seven stars flashed in the heavens!

Seven beams of light descended from the sky, surrounding the Heavenly Wrath Demon.

"Sword energy is like a prison!"

The explosion of countless sword energies was the most terrifying form of torture, instantly turning the Heavenly Wrath Demon into a bloody mess, and shattering its powerful demonic armor.

"Aaaaaah! Die!"

It stomped on the earth, causing it to shake and mountains to tremble, and unleashed a barrage of spells towards the three heroes.

"Ming Wang Dragon Elephant Fist! Thirteen Dragon Elephants!"

After some time away, Gandalf's martial arts have improved again, and thirteen terrifying dragon-elephant phantoms have been activated and surged forth one after another!

The Holy Infant's Nine Dragons of Purgatory and Seven Phoenixes of Frost Flame merged, transforming into a purple evil sun, which suddenly exploded on the body of the Heavenly Wrath Demon.

Under the relentless onslaught of the three heroes, the Heavenly Wrath Demon was quickly defeated and fell to the ground, dying without resistance.

Suddenly.

The sky split open, and a gigantic hand, capable of blotting out the heavens, reached out to grab Victor. It was a Flame Demon exuding the aura of an eighth-level being. It stood thousands of meters tall, resembling a world-destroying demon king, and its flames distorted the space within a hundred miles by scorching heat.

"It really was the three of you! Die!"

The giant hand slammed down, leaving no room for resistance.

Viktor's expression changed slightly, he made a sword gesture and gently pointed his finger.

"break!"

The seven secret swords transformed into a giant sword, colliding with the giant fiery palm with unstoppable force.

Cries of pain rang out as countless pieces of demonic flesh and blood rained down upon the heavens and earth. Under the terrifying onslaught, even the sealed void was torn apart.

The seven swords combined their power, their might soaring to the heavens, causing stars to fall and gods to shed blood.

This is the strongest move of the Seven Killings of Godfall!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the three heroes each used their own methods to escape.

The three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief after returning to the safe haven.

Gandalf said:

"It's getting harder and harder to kill level 7 demons now. Those level 8 demons are targeting the three of us. Damn it, if they push us too far, we'll call my main body over and kill them."

Viktor recalled the sword strike he had just received, and he said:

"After advancing to the seventh ring senior level, the power of my Heavenly Star Sword Formation is enough to injure an eighth-level demon. If the three of us cooperate, we might be able to kill a peak seventh-level demon, or even a lone eighth-level demon... However, that's too risky and not worth it."

Holy Infant Path:

"With the attack power of your Heavenly Star Sword Formation, breaking through the defenses of an eighth-level demon should be no problem. However, Gandalf and I are at too low a level, which is holding you back. Our margin for error is low, and once we make a mistake, it will be catastrophic. After all, our ability to protect ourselves is far inferior to that of the original body. Once we both advance to the seventh ring senior level, I will upgrade your magical artifacts to the top grade. Then we should be able to try hunting down an early-stage eighth-level demon. If we advance to the seventh ring perfection level, it will be the safest option, and we can basically guarantee a 100% success rate."

Gandalf said:

"That's right, no rush. The three of us are already close to 50 million battle merits. In a while, we can exchange them for the Bright Moon Treasure, and then our strength will improve even more."

Victor said:

"That's right. Once Ace reaches the seventh ring, we'll complete the Thirteen Killing Formations of the Godfall Star together. If the sword formation is perfected, we can roam freely in the Abandoned Continent just like I did. Without reaching the ninth level, who can contend with us?"

The power of the Heavenly Star Sword Formation is evident to all, and it has not been in vain for his and the Holy Infant's decades of effort.

Holy Infant Path:

"The demon hunt is temporarily over. Next, I'll go find the main body to discuss how to deal with Narovi."

……

hell.

The seventh floor.

Ministry of Demon Fox.

"Hahaha, I did it! I did it! 22 witch marks! If it weren't for my brother's encouragement, I wouldn't have dared to imagine that my limit was actually here!"

The Infernal Demon Sword was filled with excitement.

22 witch marks! He originally only wanted to advance with 15 witch marks.

He spent hundreds of years at the Sixth Ring Road to prepare for this day, and he is now 1,200 years old.

But it was all worth it. He wouldn't have known how amazing he was if he hadn't pushed himself.

He stared at the Flame Demon Potion in his hand and muttered to himself:

"My cultivation has been able to proceed so smoothly thanks to the nourishment of my three sisters. This is all thanks to my eldest brother's good intentions. My eldest brother's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain, and I will never forget it. This high-quality breakthrough potion alone is priceless, starting at ten billion taels of silver."

The three sisters asked:

"Are you aiming for the seventh ring?"

Purgatory Demon Sword Path:

"Yes, I have made all the necessary preparations. This promotion is a sure thing. One of you will come with me on a trip. The promotion will cause quite a stir, so we must not disturb the mistress. The other two, please stay home and continue to serve the mistress, so as not to arouse her suspicion."

The Way of the Demoness of the Realm of Lust:

"I'll go with you. Once you reach the seventh ring, we can venture into the eighth level and hunt even stronger opponents."

……

A month later.

The continent abandoned by the gods.

A figure in a gray robe stepped onto the ground; it was Luo Wei.

His face looked increasingly weathered, and he even seemed somewhat anxious.

Time waits for no one, and as his time drew ever closer, he still hadn't found Li Wei's whereabouts.

Fortunately, he recently received intelligence from the black market.

The Lord of Twilight Temple is currently hunting demons on the Forsaken Continent, and has informed Luo Wei of the Lord of Twilight Temple's travel patterns and whereabouts.

Luo Wei didn't know if the information was true or false, but he had no choice but to try it out as a last resort. It would be a joke if he prepared for so long only to die of old age because he couldn't find the Twilight Palace Master.

"Love, keep it up!"
