Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 476 The Seventh Ring of the Demonic Sword, the Myth Awakens! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

Louise paused for a moment, clearly not expecting Levi to refuse so decisively.

She laughed:

"While the Tranquil Tea is good, it's not very effective for level eight experts, but it's quite noticeable for level six and seven experts... You've done more than you should; I'm grateful for your help in getting me out of trouble and for listening to my troubles."

Li Wei thought for a moment and said:

"Then I shall gladly accept your offer. Thank you, madam."

Louise flicked her finger, and a white jade bottle appeared.

Li Wei took it, opened it, and found that it was indeed the tea leaves from before.

Louise said:

"One tea leaf is enough for one brew, and the effect lasts for a day. It is best to take it once a week. It should also be able to be used in combination with your meditation aid. If you finish it, Lord Li Wei, you can come and ask me for it."

Li Wei thought to himself, "This woman must have some kind of need."

However, this calming tea is indeed a good thing.

he asked:

"Does the lady have any tea tree seeds or seedlings?"

Give me a fish and I'll teach me how to fish.

There are the Fountain of Youth, the Ancient Banyan Wonderland, Ah Long's Golden Fertilizer, and the Shell Demon Clan—all powerful farming tools. Li Wei has always been the type to grow things himself, never asking for help from others.

Louise paused, then said:

"Seeds of the Qingxin Tea Tree? I don't have any of those, but I do have a section of the original root of the Qingxin Tea Tree, which I brought with me when I left home... However, I gave that to a wizard."

Since she came to seek refuge with the Wizarding Council, she naturally had to send some nice gifts and find someone to act as a matchmaker.

She then inquired with her old friends and learned about a wizard who worked at the Bureau of Alien Affairs. That wizard was a master of the eighth level of cultivation, named [Divine Golden Wizard King Florio].

This person is a prominent figure in the wizarding world, wielding considerable power. He is said to be from the Letney family, one of the six towers of the Endless Sea, and was the previous family leader. After being promoted to deputy director of the Central Administration, he settled in the Central Realm.

Louise didn't have anything good on her at the time, so she gave the Qingxin tea tree root as a gift to the deputy director. The man accepted the gift and did his job well, indeed helping her find a good position.

Seeing Louise's dilemma, Li Wei smiled and said:

"If you don't have it, that's fine. But if you do, I'm willing to pay a high price for it."

Louise apologized:

"I'm sorry, we don't have any..."

She hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Lord Li Wei, I hope we can become friends."

Li Weidao:

"I'm a very simple person. As long as someone treats me sincerely, I will naturally not treat them unfairly."

Louise smiled sweetly.

Thank you!

Louise breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Li Wei turn and leave.

Although things were far from settled, after establishing a relationship with him, she felt that the Ancient Tomb Clan had a future and hope.

……

Ancient Banyan Tree Wonderland.

Having spent so many years on the battlefield, Li Wei hadn't had much rest. He happily soaked in the Immortal Spring of the Small Stone Pool to relieve his fatigue.

On the stone table next to them, there was freshly brewed tea for calming the mind.

According to Li Wei's research, the effects of this calming tea are indeed miraculous.

After drinking a cup, it will have a good effect on wizard meditation, breathing techniques, and combat skills for the next day, as if it can bring people into a state of absolute focus without desire, ego, or other.

Wizards below the sixth ring will also benefit from this substance, but it would be a waste. It should also be effective for eighth-ring wizards, though significantly less so. Therefore, it is the most cost-effective option for sixth- and seventh-ring wizards.

He divided the tea into several small portions, giving one to each of his clone, Elena, and Triss. Although the amount was small, it was enough for them to cultivate for a while.

"It's a pity that this is a specialty of the Ancient Tomb Clan, and there is no way to breed it. Otherwise, if I planted a tea forest in my Ancient Banyan Wonderland, that would be a true paradise on earth. A wizard could calm his mind and improve his meditation efficiency just by smelling it."

"Although Louise has asked me for a favor, she doesn't seem to have any bad intentions. Let's see what she's up to. It's not wise to get too close."

Over the years, as Li Wei's status rose, many people came to offer him gifts and ask him for favors, but Li Wei refused them all.

He didn't care about those people's gifts; there was no need to ruin his reputation for such trivial matters.

Besides, he's just a genius, not some high-ranking official, and he doesn't have any real power. What's the point of looking for him?

While taking a bath, he placed a large stack of memory discs beside him.

These were compiled by the servants and Lyon, and might be useful to Levy. They also included information about the wizard Loewy.

Three days and nights.

Li Wei didn't practice any spiritual cultivation, nor did he think about anything else. He simply emptied his mind, watched the CDs, immersed himself in them, and experienced the myriad flavors of life.

It did evoke the feeling of enlightenment and reincarnation in some fantasy novels from his past life. After reading it, Li Wei compiled a considerable amount of useful information, intelligence, and knowledge.

In particular, the memories of the wizard Narovi gave Li Wei a deeper understanding of some of the secrets of the Council of Ten Thousand Races.

Narovi was indeed an undercover agent, and he was actually an avatar of an eighth-level expert. That expert called himself "Blood Vortex Venerable," and was the ruler of a multi-dimensional world, most skilled at creating avatars.

Its true form is none other than an ancient, exotic species known as the [Vortex Beast].

Like the Siren, the Vortex Beast was not unfamiliar to Li Wei.

In his early, weakest period, the first physical-type breathing technique he practiced was called "Vortex Beast Breathing Technique," which he obtained from an assassin from the organization known as the Deathbird's Voice.

Surprisingly, there are still creatures like the Vortex Beast alive today.

Li Wei immediately became interested. He had used siren to create a hastily formed suicide squad called the "Song of the Siren".

They made outstanding contributions during the bloody battle. Many extremely risky missions were accomplished by them.

If he could capture that vortex beast, he could quickly create a second elite suicide squad.

However, this vortex beast is a mid-level level eight powerhouse, and because it is the ruler of the plane, it relies on its plane and fights on its home turf. Its difficulty in dealing with it may be comparable to that of a late-level level eight beast. Li Wei is not yet confident.

As for the restriction that a plane ruler cannot leave their plane, that doesn't exist for Li Wei... With Mana and the Ancient Banyan Wonderland, he can both capture the monk and move the temple, directly making Blood Vortex Venerable a secondary plane ruler of the Ancient Banyan Wonderland. After refining its plane, Mana's strength will also advance further, making it a win-win situation.

However, from Luo Wei's memories, Li Wei also learned that the Blood Vortex Venerable's identity was not simple. It seemed to have a good relationship with the vampires and was a subordinate of another level ten being called the Worm Overlord.

And this worm overlord seems to be one of the big players behind the Council of All Races.

Therefore, this matter needs to be considered carefully.

In addition, this Blood Vortex Venerable also knew an old acquaintance of Li Wei.

In the past, in the Dark Ancient Tower, the Blood Demon Tower Master once summoned a projection of an evil god, which was killed by Li Wei and then called himself the Blood Scale Venerable.

The magical chain that Luo Wei used to bind the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon, the [Dragon-Trapping Chains], was given to him by Venerable Bloodscale. The terrible idea that Luo Wei went to Hell to ask the [Black Prison Beast] for help was also given by Venerable Bloodscale.

"These vampires are truly persistent. However, the Blood River Will is indeed troublesome, far superior to ordinary level ten experts."

The feud between vampires and Nora has lasted for countless years.

In some remote corners of the human world, there are still ancient vampires slumbering, who occasionally emerge to cause trouble.

At a fixed time each year, the Blood River will use special spatial means to unleash its power to influence the human world and awaken the sleeping vampires.

In the end times, vampires, werewolves, ghouls and the like occasionally emerge to cause trouble, becoming terrifying creatures in folk legends.

These dark races are all backed by Level 10 beings.

Blood River Will, Calamity Wolf, Father of Plague.

Moreover, the latter two are also beings of the astral plane, immortal and indestructible.

However, because the Saint of Calamity Wolf was eliminated by Li Wei long ago, Calamity Wolf left the scene early.

"In the midst of this bloody war, the Blood River Will will inevitably take advantage of the chaos, so we must be on guard. It truly is a chaotic world..."

Aside from Luo Wei's clone, the rest of the Blood Vortex Venerable's clones are all low-level clones with little intelligence, so they are not to be feared. One of them was the giant boar that Li Wei killed in the ancient tower.

After resting, Li Wei focused on his spiritual practice.

Four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the year 494 of the Nora calendar, the 280th year of the Blood War.

The Central Realm.

Bloodbath at the Temple.

Elena, dressed in leather armor, with her blonde hair flowing down her shoulders and carrying a greatsword, arrived here with a heroic air, attracting the attention of some passersby.

Some staff members, especially the young witches, couldn't help but look at them as if they were seeing an idol.

"So beautiful."

"Not only beautiful, but also powerful. The Flower Witch, the Knight of a Hundred Flowers, a renowned powerhouse in both the witch and knight realms."

"Most importantly, I found a good partner, the Lord of Twilight Palace, the number one on the level eight demon-slaying list, the first seventh-ring wizard to break 5 million points."

Elena was already used to these things.

He was quite pleased with himself, marveling at his excellent judgment of people.

I knew early on that Li Wei was a promising talent with a bright future.

She said:

"I'm here to exchange for a random Moonlit Treasure."

The staff member said:

"Verifying your qualifications, please wait... You have enough battle merits to kill ten demon lords of level seven or above. My goodness, you've achieved that too! Congratulations, Ms. Elena, you can begin your draw now."

Elena thought to herself:

"May Li Wei bless me and let me draw it on my first try."

Not long after, the lottery results were announced.

What appeared before me was a sapphire blue necklace.

Baihua's face lit up with joy. Generally speaking, blue is the representative color of the ocean school, so there's basically no difference.

[The Hymn of the Water God, the Wonders of the Bright Moon, the School of Oceanography...]

Baihua also had knowledge of Li Wei's "Illustrated Compendium of Strange Things," and she immediately compared it with the text, finding that it was indeed the Ode of the Water God.

The Hymn of the Water God is likely the highest quality artifact in the Oceanic School's sequence, belonging to the [Water God Sequence].

Within the same sequence, there are also [The Lament of the Water God], [The Song of the Water God], [The Tears of the Water God], [The Joy of the Water God], etc.

The worst are all Morning Star level, the middle level are Moon level, and the [Tears of the Water God] is a Sun level artifact.

Baihua smiled inwardly.

"Great! Just as Triss said, Levi's blessing is indeed quite effective."

She returned to the Ancient Dragon Continent with the wondrous artifact.

Before advancing to the eighth ring, she needs to accumulate more battle merits and exchange them for some Morning Star and Bright Moon artifacts from the Ocean faction to enhance her cultivation, improve her aptitude, lay a better foundation for future cultivation, and at the same time imprint more witch marks.

……

Ancient Banyan Tree Wonderland.

Li Wei opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei——————

The Light of Exile: Tier 16 (1/800,000)

Air Castle: Level 15 (1/700,000)

Hand of Nothingness: Tier 15 (1/700,000)

Golden Requiem: Level 15 (1/700,000)

……

"Sixteen witch marks."

Over the years, Li Xiuxing's focus has always been on magic.

The spells of the Space + Holy Light faction, "Exiled Light," have reached the seventh level. After experiencing the benefits of spells like "Absolute Freeze" combined with "Absolute Luck" and "Coin of Fortune," Li Wei has developed a particular fondness for spells that are probabilistically triggered yet incredibly powerful and can work across realms.

With the combination of Absolute Zero and Exiled Light, he can create opportunities to escape even when facing enemies he can't defeat.

In addition, over the years he has also acquired a lot of magical knowledge through blood battle auctions, memory discs and other means. After careful selection, he chose three spells to learn and has now reached the level of the sixth ring at the fifteenth level.

"Air Castle," a Storm faction spell, as the name suggests, compresses air to form an air wall, and then uses that air wall to form a fortress. This spell is an advanced application of the "Air Wall" spell. It can be cast on oneself and allies as a defensive skill, and also on enemies to trap them and seal off the void.

"Hand of Nothingness," a spatial spell, can disrupt the spatial structure of a location through casting, interfering with the ability of level six or higher powerhouses to shatter the void. It can also extend pairs of void energy hands from the void to imprison enemies.

In this way, he already possesses four control-type seventh-circle spells: Heavenly Lightning, Hand of Nothingness, Earth Imprisonment, and Air Castle, each suitable for different environments and conditions, making him extremely comprehensive. Adding to this his spell-like abilities, Silver Mountain Fall and Wind Illusion, he's practically guaranteed an eighth-circle spell.

And these are only part of Li Wei's control system.

He also possesses the Level 8 rare treasure, the Chaotic Void Mirror, which he had recently thoroughly researched and mastered. This mirror can emit dark light that shoots into the void, causing the space within a radius of hundreds of miles to become disordered and inverted. Even powerful individuals who have escaped into the void can only be forced to come out, making it extremely useful.

In this way, even if the Heavenly King himself came, he would be trapped by Li Wei.

From now on, we won't need to fight like madmen, battling against level eight demons.

The final "Golden Requiem" is a spell of the metal faction. Once cast, it can interfere with all metal objects around the caster.

Whether it's something from nature, a magical artifact made of metal, or even metal particles within the human body.

The heavier the metal content, the stronger the interference. It is a very niche spell with few learners. Li Wei thought it might come in handy, so he learned it.

"Only 11 witch marks remain, and then the mission will be accomplished."

Li Wei stood up and surveyed the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm. Everyone had rested enough; it was time to go hunt demons.

The Tower of Summer Flowers.

Baihua displayed the unusual necklace in her hand and said with a smile.

"Li Wei, I'm going into seclusion for a while now."

Li Weidao:

"It's actually the [Water God's Chant]! You're really lucky. Sequence artifacts have strong growth potential; the more you collect, the better the effect. One plus one is greater than two."

He and the Holy Infant have already verified this.

The Holy Infant's ability to defy fate was inseparable from the two rare items of the Ice and Fire sequences.

Li Weidao:

"I'll have someone keep an eye out for the Water God Sequence artifacts in the Morning Star level. They might be available for sale at the Bloodbath Auction House and in the shops."

Baihua laughed and said:

"Okay, thank you."

……

Hell, the seventh level.

The world was desolate, filled with the aura of death.

A boundless expanse of fiery mountains.

In the wilderness, the world has changed drastically.

First, volcanoes erupted, and the surging fire elemental power rolled in, forming long rivers of crimson flames that flowed into the highest, solitary peak in the center.

Then, gusts of wind swept across the heavens and earth, dispersing the lingering, gloomy deathly aura and negative energy of hell.

The wind fanned the flames, and the fire soared into the sky.

Faintly, the phantom of a magnificent dragon appeared, its body covered in black scales, its body wreathed in black flames, its head adorned with powerful horns, and its wingspan spanning thousands of meters.

In the distance, the Demoness of the Realm of Colors stared in horror at this strange phenomenon.

"I have heard that the master's second brother is a descendant of the mythical dragon race. Judging from this terrifying phenomenon, it is indeed so. If he grows up, hell will surely tremble."

"What my master said is true. This Purgatory Demon Sword truly possesses the potential of a level ten sword. Looking across Hell and even the Witch Realm, it is an unparalleled genius. Aside from my master, who transcends all reason, few can compare."

From the distant mountains, a heartfelt and carefree laugh could be heard.

"I, Sordros, learned swordsmanship from a young age, then embarked on the path of a wizard, defeating all opponents in the Nine Cities League! Later, to avenge my mother, I made a grand vow, stepping into hell, vowing never to return until I had personally killed my enemy! Over the course of twelve hundred years, I refined the Ten-Winged Heavenly Dragon Technique, tempered my physical body, and branded myself with twenty-two witch marks, finally achieving the seventh ring! Hahahaha, so exhilarating!"

Behind the Purgatory Demon Sword, the phantoms of a Purgatory Black King Dragon and a Ten-Winged Heavenly Wind Dragon faintly overlapped, with endless gales and black flames swirling around, distorting space.

"Although I am the son of the wind element, I possess the top-tier fire elemental talent of [Scorching Hell], and the mythical bloodline of the Black King Dragon of Purgatory flows within me. I cultivate both wind and fire elements, as well as body and magic. This is my future path. Now, with twenty-two witch marks imprinted on my witch form and the wind and fire dragons fused together, although I have just entered the seventh ring, my combat power is incomparable to that of ordinary seventh ring veterans."

He looked at the Demoness of the Realm of Lust over there, and seeing how hard she had worked to protect him all these years, he sincerely thanked her:

Thank you!

The Witch of Lust laughed:

"You're welcome, it's just a task from my master."

The Hellfire Sword, its spirit revitalized, declared:

"Let's go back and call Little Pink and Little Black over. Let's tell Big Brother the good news. It's been so long. Big Brother should be almost at the Eighth Ring Road by now."

……

An endless dark land.

Beyond the Sauron Panplane.

A cluster of dark palaces floated in the void, aimlessly wandering.

This palace covers an area of ​​more than ten thousand miles, as luxurious as a small plane of existence. There is a pavilion every five steps and a tower every ten steps, with views of the starry sky above and artificial hills and gardens below. Countless birds and beasts roam within.

In the center of the palace complex stands the Black Palace, towering 98,000 feet high, its carved beams and painted rafters made of rare stones and exotic woods.

Inside the Black Palace, an atmosphere of extravagance permeated the air. Countless stunningly beautiful humans and exotic women gathered together, a scene of vibrant beauty and bustling activity.

"Hehehe, little beauty."

"Lord Black King, come and chase me!"

A middle-aged man with a thick beard, dressed in a black imperial robe and wearing a crown, with the bearing of a dragon and tiger, was frolicking and playing with a group of beauties, looking quite carefree.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man stopped and looked into the distance.

The beauties said:

"Your Majesty, why have you stopped? We can't wait any longer."

The middle-aged man ignored them, simply downed his drink in one gulp, let out a burp, and muttered to himself.

"I never expected that one of my bloodlines that I left behind in the Wizarding World would actually activate my bloodline imprint and even reach the seventh level. That's quite impressive."

Time flies. It feels like just yesterday I was exploring the Sauron Panplanet, but a thousand years have already passed.

He left those beauties aside, and then transformed himself into a mythical dragon with wings that covered the Black Palace.

Infernal Black King Dragon!

It was as if a monarch had descended upon the world, solemnly declaring:

"Magic Mountain, Crimson Prison, go to the Wizarding World and find your underlings."

Two figures appeared in the void.

One of them was ten thousand meters tall, with the appearance of a giant, but covered in black scales, with dragon horns on its head and dragging a thick dragon tail. It exuded the aura of the late stage of level eight. It was surrounded by black flame clouds and lava flowed on its body. It was the Dragonborn Mountain Giant.

The other one had elf-like ears, a slender, athletic, and well-proportioned figure, and a beautiful face. Her breasts were high and firm, and her tight-fitting dragon scale clothing perfectly showcased her breathtaking figure. The small horn on her forehead and the slender dragon tail behind her were also just right. She was an even rarer dragon-born elf, with a cultivation level of mid-level eight.

Magic Mountain asked in a deep, muffled voice:

"Father, are you bringing my younger brother back?"

Black King shook his head and said:

"He's not fully grown yet, he can't leave the wizarding world. If we bring him back, who will teach him? You?"

Magic Mountain scratched the back of his head and thought about it; it was indeed true.

Chi Lingyu said softly:

"I understand. Father wants us to stay by our younger brother's side and take care of him, right?"

Black King's Way:

"That's right, but you don't need to reveal your identities. Just help secretly, and don't cause any friction or conflict with the Wizarding Council. Go incognito and do things discreetly. Magic Mountain, Crimson Spirit Prison, you are the most composed of my children. I trust you with this matter. Don't let your father down."

"The journey is long and arduous, with high mountains and treacherous waters. I will bestow upon you some treasures and methods for interdimensional travel. In the Sauron Panplane, there is a madman named the Evil Dragon Venerable, who is our dragon race's mortal enemy. Do not provoke him."

"If you encounter any trouble in the wizarding world, you can seek help from Lava Dragon Leodes. I owe it a debt of gratitude, and it won't abandon you."

After speaking earnestly, Black King finished his speech.

Magic Mountain and Crimson Prison bid farewell to their father, left the Black King's Palace, and ventured into the Dark Land to search for their long-lost younger brother.

The Black King muttered to himself.

"Although he was born of me and a mortal, I have poured a great deal of effort into him. He is destined to be extraordinary. At this great juncture of interdimensional convergence, if he can rise to prominence alongside Nora, he will surely reach a realm that his older brothers and sisters could never attain... Those who rely on the blessings of my bloodline and live off their inheritance will find it difficult to achieve great things. Only those who actively explore and find their own path can soar to the heavens!"

……

Six years later.

Nora in 500, the Battle of 286.

The endless sea.

Outer Ring Sea Area, District 38.

"Kill them!"

"Enemy attack!"

In a demon camp, the demons abandoned their armor and fled in all directions.

The winds of shadow blew from the shadow plane, and shadows exuding powerful auras transformed into killing machines, reaping the lives of demons.

Among them, five shadows were the most terrifying: two Flame Demons, one Formless Demon, and two Benthic Fish Demons, all exuding a level seven aura, charging into the army without any restraint.

"Great Demon Fish Lord, please don't kill me! I'm your old subordinate!"

Click.

The head of the begging demon was severed by the tentacles of the Demon Fish Lord.

High in the sky, a colossal object, resembling a lump of mud and blotting out the sun, loomed overhead, exuding the aura of an early-stage eighth-level being.

This is the [Mud Demon], similar to a slime but much more powerful, possessing an immortal body that can regenerate even if chopped into pieces.

It also possesses the ability to transform in countless ways, making it impossible to defend against. In the Wizard Council, it is worth at least 50 million battle merits.

The swamp demon stretched out its gaping maw, ready to swallow the black-armored swordsman below. But the latter unleashed a single sword strike, turning the world into a frozen hellscape, stretching for dozens of miles.

The swamp demon stiffened slightly, shattered the ice, and attacked again.

In the void, a nine-colored emperor appeared, striking out with a single palm, activating the Crimson Emperor Domain!

Within a radius of fifty miles, billions of flames rose, turning the world into a sea of ​​fire!

After experiencing both ice and fire, the swamp demon was in unbearable pain. The mud was dried by the flames, turned into pieces, fell into the sea, and dissolved in the water, seemingly regaining some of its spirituality.

"Si Lei!"

boom!

In the sky, jet-black lightning bolts crashed into the sea!

The thunder exploded, transforming into electric snakes that darted between the waves and the sea.

The mud was coated with black annihilation divine lightning, and a powerful corrosive force was incorporated into it.

Before long, the mud lost its spirit and completely disintegrated.

Thus, the black-armored swordsman, alone with his sword, fought fiercely against the demon.

"You wretched Lord of Twilight Palace! You've caused trouble time and time again. Today, I must capture you and unleash the divine might of the [Thousand Transformations Grand Venerable]!"

The Thousand Transformations Grandmaster's body expanded once more, transforming into a gigantic swamp covering a radius of hundreds of miles. Tens of thousands of indifferent eyes emerged from the swamp. Countless beams of black light shot out, densely packed, piercing the space like sieves, and causing the sea surface to explode.

With nowhere to hide, the black-armored swordsman concealed himself within the Emperor's body. The Emperor then channeled nine-colored divine light to resist the relentless onslaught. Four sea spirit soldiers and the Maia surrounded him, acting as a shield. At the same time, the chanting of spells began.

"Absolutely freezing point!"

The swordsman pointed a finger, and the icy rays pierced into the black swamp.

In an instant, the black swamp began to freeze, and a chill swept over.

"Oh no, a freeze spell..."

The Thousand Transformations Grand Venerable realized that things were bad, but it was too late.

"Seven Suns Descend Upon the Boundary!"

Seven blue suns appeared above the black swamp and then exploded!

Rumble!

Dark Death Fire, Black Annihilation Divine Lightning, Crimson Emperor Dragon Flame, and other exotic flames and streams of lightning filled the swamp, but no matter how large they were, they were of no use.

The Nightmare Domain opened, and mist enveloped the sea. From the darkness, a Nightmare clone possessing half the strength of Li Wei emerged and charged towards the Thousand Transformations Grandmaster.

The nine-headed imperial dragon, imbued with numerous innate magical abilities, shone brightly in harmony!

The Thunder Emperor, wielding his imperial sword, roams the swamp, his sword energy crisscrossing the air!

The Thousand Transformations Grand Venerable was in pain, and in an instant, countless pupils dimmed and disappeared.

Although it possesses an immortal body, this still requires a significant amount of its own primordial energy. Where in this world is there true immortality?

It had already exchanged blows with the Lord of Twilight Palace for over a hundred rounds, using every trick in the book, but not only had it failed to defeat its opponent, it had also fallen into a disadvantageous position.

This was the first time it had suffered such a defeat after invading the witch realm for so long. The mud began to shrink back, eventually transforming into a fluid-like asteroid with a diameter of over a kilometer.

The asteroid began to spin, hurling out millions of black droplets that streaked through the air. Any ordinary wizard struck by it would instantly perish.

Crackling and popping!

The Thunder Emperor and the Nine-Headed Dragon Emperor each used their own methods to protect Li Wei.

An ancient magic mirror appeared in Li Wei's hand, and a beam of dark light shone out. The Thousand Transformations Grand Venerable, who had already vanished into the void, stumbled and fell out again a thousand miles away.

"Where do you think you're going? Take this!"

A giant ape emerged from the sea, wielding a bone club that smashed into the black planet! The figure of the Thousand Transformations Grandmaster flew hundreds of miles before stopping.

"Si Lei!"

Another bolt of lightning, about a mile thick, fell from the sky, striking the Thousand Transformations Grand Venerable directly.

The Great Venerable wailed as his body melted under the lightning, growing weaker and weaker.

The Nine-Colored Emperor unleashed a powerful sword strike, unleashing a torrent of sword energy.

Li Wei's Yuanhun magic was ready once again.

The Thunder Beast soared out and exploded beside the Great Venerable.

After a fierce battle, only a fickle demonic soul flew out, trying to escape. Just as Li Wei was about to use the Chaotic Mirror to examine it again, Leon preemptively struck, puffing out his cheeks and spitting out a large net radiating golden light.

"Well done."

Li Wei praised him.

After consuming numerous level-eight demonic souls, Leon's strength increased dramatically.

Although it's not yet the late stage of level seven, it's not far off.

Dealing with this level eight demonic soul was even easier for him.

Leon drags the demon soul into the Ancient Banyan Wonderland to put it to death.

Li Wei put away the crystal core of the Thousand Transformations Grandmaster and murmured:

"Without realizing it, I have already hunted down six level eight demons."

Over the past six years, he has killed several more level-eight demons.

Such a record is unmatched by many eighth-ring wizards.

Not long after, the 5300 million points for killing the Thousand Transformations Grandmaster were credited to his account.

Suddenly, Li Wei felt the hairs on his arm standing on end.

"It's time to leave!"

The shadows finished cleaning up the battlefield, flew behind Li Wei, and disappeared into the sea.

No sooner had Li Wei left than a terrifying benthic fish demon lord, exuding the aura of a late-stage level eight, emerged from the deep sea.

Its name is [Devouring Sea Grandmaster Popix], one of the eight rulers of the outer seas. It possesses formidable strength and is difficult to kill without the intervention of a Grand Wizard. Even after fighting it for so long, the eight-ring wizards of the Sword of Stars have failed to subdue it.

"Damn it, late again! It's always like this... This Twilight Palace Master is truly slippery, possessing the ability to foresee the future!"

Its angry roar shook the sea.

The Endless Sea War has lasted for decades, and the one that has caused the most losses to the high-ranking demon generals is not the elite legion of the Sword of Stars, but the lone wolf-like Lord of Twilight.

Six people with Level 8 certification!

This is also a significant loss for their legion.

And those level 7 and level 6 players who were killed were even more numerous.

Ordinary demons, too numerous to count.

According to incomplete statistics from the demon army, the confirmed troop losses caused by the Twilight Temple Lord alone are equivalent to those caused by three elite warbands of the sorcerer world.

The other side's losses are nothing more than a group of shadows that can keep regenerating... This is a completely unequal war!

"This can't go on. We must find a way to curb the growth of its shadow. Hopefully, the Shadow Queen will make progress soon."

As a level 10 Shadow Fiend, the Shadow Fiend Queen is renowned not only in the Abyss world.

She is also a powerful ruler in the shadow world. She also possesses the ability to summon shadow creatures and can freely enter and exit the shadow world.

The higher-ups have taken notice of the Twilight Temple Lords. Although they cannot descend upon Nora to kill them personally, they can find ways to interfere with their most powerful shadow legion at the source.

Although the Shadow World is not a super-large plane, it is still quite powerful, with many strong level 10 beings, many of whom are at odds with the Shadow Queen.

Furthermore, the rules of the Shadow Realm are completely opposite to those of most other planes. The Abyss had previously invaded, but it ended in failure. Apart from the Shadow Fiend, other demons there simply couldn't exert their power.

……

Hades City.

Li Wei returned to his old residence, rested there, and reviewed the battle.

"After Crimson Emperor Dragon advanced to the late stage of level seven, killing level eight enemies became much easier. This Thousand Transformations Grand Venerable was even more troublesome than the previous level eight, but I still managed to kill him."

"With the combination of [Coin of Fortune] and [Absolute Luck], spells like Absolute Freeze and Light of Exile have a high success rate and are much more practical. No wonder the Black Abyss Walker told me to learn Coin of Fortune well; it's for fighting."

Today, Li Wei has mastered most of his 16 seventh-ring spells to their limits.

The coin of good fortune is not far from its limit.

Absolute Freeze and Light of Exile are both at the sixteenth rank.

I recently learned Air Castle, Void Hand, and Golden Requiem a few years ago, and I've already reached the sixteenth level. The next step is to patiently hone my skills until I reach the pinnacle.

The Death Dragon Breathing Technique recently advanced to the mid-stage of level seven, increasing the diameter of the Undying God Domain to 20 kilometers. Li Wei's physique and self-healing abilities were also enhanced to varying degrees.

Through years of killing and actual combat, Li Wei's combat skills have improved rapidly. His understanding and application of the "Ten Ultimate Paths" and "Ten Fierce Martial Paths" have reached a new level. He has also worked his self-created combat skill outline, "Ultimate Path Strategy," to the seventh level limit.

After reaching his limit, Li Wei realized that to advance further, he needed to refine his physical body to the eighth level in order to break through the limit.

Combat skills serve the physical body. Without a physical body, combat skills are just castles in the air. Similarly, if the physical body is not up to par, one cannot forcibly learn higher levels of physical power and combat skills.

In his mind, the companion spirits, such as A Jin, Si Lei, A Biao, and Nick, all grew as Li Wei's mental strength increased.

Especially Si Lei, whose single strike was powerful enough to pierce through the defenses of an eighth-level demon.

Frey, A-Kun, A-Gua, and A-Long, these spirit creatures, have all been nurtured by Li Wei's spiritual power, and their strength is now synchronized.

Only Aya, who had been away from home for three hundred years, remained. Li Wei didn't know when she would return, and could only confirm that she was still alive through the connection he had with the spirit.

Unbeknownst to many, it was already the end of the fifth century of the Nora Era. Li Wei's mental strength had also reached 11410 points, very close to the limit of the seventh ring.

Besides hunting demons, I also need to prepare for advancing to the eighth ring.

He has already set up the ethereal ritual array, right here in the Tower of Dawn.

The Void God Crystal was prepared a long time ago.

Breakthrough potions are available for purchase at the Merit Shop.

There are mainly three types that can be used for advancing to the eighth ring.

[Lady Chun's Potion, Eight-Ring Potion, Superior Grade, Increases Success Rate by 13%, 3 Million Battle Merit]

[Trov's Water, Seventh Ring Potion, Medium, Increases success rate by 8%, 1 million battle merits.]

[Mousse Potion, Seven-Ring Potion, Low Grade, Increases success rate by 5%, 0.5 billion battle merits.]

These potions can only be redeemed once per person, and require a cultivation level of seven perfect rings to redeem. They are probably a benefit provided by the council to seven-ring wizards.

"Lady Chun's potion is quite good; it's enough for me to break through."

Li Wei pondered for a moment, but still did not redeem it.

"Prioritize exchanging for Shadow Emblems."

Li Wei's current score is 7 million, far ahead of the competition, but it seems impossible for him to accumulate 16 billion before the Ancient Tower opens. Unless he can hunt an eighth-level beast every year, but given the current situation where he is being targeted by demons at every turn, that's an almost impossible task.

……

Ancient Dragon Continent.

Baihua also completed the refinement of the [Water God's Chant], increasing her spiritual power by 190 points and gaining the special talent [Water God's Body].

This is a special talent similar to Li Wei's [Thunder God Body], which has growth potential, provided that more Water God Sequence artifacts are obtained.

Baihua was born as the child of the water element, and with this talent, her cultivation was even more amplified. Even with her incomplete Water God Body, she benefited immensely.

Unfortunately, she did not develop a projection power similar to that of Thor like Li Wei, nor did she give birth to a companion spirit, which is somewhat regrettable.

After her skills improved significantly, Baihua returned to the battlefield to continue hunting demons.

She didn't expect to exchange for Sun Artifacts at the seventh ring stage; she just wanted to exchange for more Morning Star and Moon Artifacts, hoping that quantity would lead to quality. Those who could obtain Sun Artifacts at the seventh ring stage were destined to be extremely rare, like Li Wei, so the Wizarding Council only prepared a few, which they all knew perfectly well.

The others still need to be promoted to the eighth ring.

……

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

Fourteen years have passed in a flash.

Nora 514, the 300th year of the bloody war.

Despite repeated defeats on the front lines due to overwhelming numbers, the flames of war in the Endless Sea continued to advance towards the inner ring region. The Sword of Stars had no choice but to shrink its defensive lines and recruit more wizards to replenish its forces.

In this protracted battle.

The most outstanding performer was undoubtedly that man:

Twilight Palace Master, 12 billion points!

His score is the sum of the three top-tier seventh-ring skills: Thunder of Annihilation, Hand of the God of Fire, and Sword of Light...

Some say that if it weren't for the Twilight Lord, the demons would be advancing even faster. But even someone as powerful as the Twilight Lord couldn't turn the tide against the demons' relentless onslaught.

Correct typos first, then make proper changes.
