Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 478 The Matriarch Joins the Team, the Mad Lich! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The sword energy collided with the elephant's foot, like sandalwood splitting Mount Hua!

Rumble!

After the devastating attack, the elephant's foot shattered.

The sword energy pierced through the air, tearing a huge hole in the sky above hell, which is now slowly healing.

The demon elephant master felt a sharp pain coming from his lower body.

However, his own elephant foot had been pierced, and blood was flowing freely.

Its expression changed, and it retreated rapidly while blocking with both arms.

But then a black-armored knight carrying a giant sword appeared, his right fist clenched, the gauntlet radiating light as bright as the sun.

"Uppercut Sky-Splitting Fist!"

boom!

This is a clash of forces.

Both sides relied on brute force to overcome all techniques, without any fancy tricks.

The massive body of the Ghost Elephant Lord was lifted up, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of its thick arm bones. Its internal organs were trembling, and its qi and blood were unstable.

Just as it flew out, another giant ape descended from the sky, wielding a giant club. It smashed down with terrifying force, and the Ghost Elephant Lord was thrown to the ground uncontrollably.

Boundless blood flames emanated from the void, transforming into a blood-red behemoth covered in blood scales and with bat wings on its back. It exhaled a dragon's breath, engulfing the Ghost Elephant Lord.

Between heaven and earth, thousands upon thousands of blood-red flying dragons appeared. They were not large in size, but had sharp teeth and mouths. They lay on the body of the Ghost Elephant Lord like vampire bats and began to suck blood.

"Asura Demon Elephant!"

The violent black energy blasted away the vampire bats, and the Ghost Elephant Lord stared at the countless bloody holes all over his body, his face grim.

The black-armored swordsman drew his sword and slashed!

Upon seeing its face clearly, its expression changed drastically.

"It's you?!"

This black-armored swordsman is the same human swordsman who pierced the horn of the One-Horned Prince four hundred years ago!

Back then, he might not even be able to defeat a level seven unicorn prince... It's only been four hundred years, and he can already stand up to him head-on?

What the hell is this thing?!

The three sisters on the other side were overjoyed to see their master, but dared not show it.

He secretly thought that his mother was saved, and all he needed to do was persuade her to submit to his master, who would surely show her mercy.

The Hellfire Sword was even more excited.

The charm of that sword strike was now deeply imprinted in his mind!

"After a century, my elder brother can now stand up to an eighth-level expert, a power monster like the Ghost Elephant Lord! He is the true role model for us body-refining wizards!"

The Ghost Elephant Lord said coldly:

"Outsider, mind your own business. Leave now and we can let bygones be bygones; otherwise, even if you escape hell, you will never have peace again."

Li Wei remained silent.

He sent a telepathic message to Blood Fiend Bat Dragon and Lope, keeping an eye on the Demon Fox Mistress over there, while he himself dealt with Ghost Elephant Lord. Since Eisenke had already been exposed, there was nothing more to say.

In the blink of an eye, he charged towards the Ghost Elephant Lord.

The demon elephant, with its trunk waving, charged forward to strangle them.

Unexpectedly, Li Wei feinted and then suddenly appeared on Eisenke's side.

Then he slashed out with his sword, severing Eisenke's head.

For him, killing a drained early-stage level 7 was just a matter of a single sword strike. Spiderwebs emerged from the void, taking away Esenk's soul and body.

Eisenk's physical body is quite good; it can be turned into a corpse demon to guard the various organizations on the Ancient Dragon Continent. It shouldn't be wasted.

Although a demon's physical body is not bad, it is too polluted by demonic energy. After the demonic energy is purified, the demon's physical body is ruined. Therefore, no one uses a demon as a corpse demon.

With his own son killed before his eyes, the Demon Elephant Lord's eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared in fury:

"You have already chosen your own path to death!"

It strode out and unleashed a devastating punch.

Li Wei activated his Crimson Emperor Domain, using power runes and other techniques, and unleashed the Dragon Whale Dao.

As the two exchanged blows, Li Wei's fist transformed into a sharp blade.

puff.

The sharp blade pierced through the rough elephant hide, penetrated deep into its flesh and bone, and tore open the right hand of the elephant demon.

Blood was flowing freely, and the pain was excruciating, as each finger was connected to the heart.

The Ghost Elephant Lord was completely bewildered.

The human in front of me pretended to throw a fist, but then it turned into scissors?

Is this how you play games? Are you resorting to dirty tricks?

Its powerful strength healed its injuries, and it pulled out a long-handled hammer from somewhere, swinging it with earth-shattering force. Clearly, it had mastered the technique and dared not exchange blows with Li Wei.

Li Wei's Wuji Dao and Longjing Dao combined to enter the ultimate state of freedom and perfection.

Every move he made relied entirely on combat instinct and intuition, transcending the constraints of conventional combat techniques. Every strike was a deadly attack, utterly vicious.

The Ghost Elephant Lord used the Chaotic Cloak and Hammer Technique to contend with Li Wei.

The Nine-Headed Emperor was not idle either. With a wave of its hand, it summoned spirit weapons, Maia, and those powerful level-seven shadows, all of which rushed towards the Ghost Elephant Lord.

One after another, innate spells flew out, one after another.

Moreover, it was accompanied by rapid spell chanting.

Powerful elemental soul spells such as [Seven Suns Descending] and [Thunder Beast Technique] were quickly unleashed, launching successive attacks.

The Ghost Elephant Lord was overwhelmed and had no way to defend against the Emperor's attacks, so he could only rely on his thick skin and tough flesh to withstand the summoned creatures and magical attacks.

But this is not a long-term solution; otherwise, we will be the first to fall.

It raises its arms, its giant hammer held high, as if supporting the heavens!

"One Hundred and Eight Hammers on the Mischievous Elephant!"

boom!

With that single blow, a ravine stretching for hundreds of miles was formed.

The entire continent seemed to have been smashed in two.

A terrifying shockwave swept through, shattering the surrounding spirit soldiers and Maya.

Even the seventh-level shadow was seriously injured and was taken away by the emperor.

It continued to summon spirit soldiers while bombarding them with spells.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Ghost Elephant Lord smashed his giant hammer toward Li Wei.

Once he is killed, the troublesome Nine-Colored Emperor will automatically disappear.

This is what makes wizards so difficult to deal with.

Relying on the shaman, it appears to be one person, but in reality it is two against one.

The storm lashed down, each blow more powerful than the last, like waves crashing one after another.

In the blink of an eye, he had already swung the hammer hundreds of times. The combined force caused Li Wei's arms to tremble violently, his blood vessels to burst, and blood mist to gush out.

"Excellent hammering technique!"

Li Wei was not surprised but delighted. He hadn't expected that the Ghost Elephant Lord had cultivated his hammer technique to such a level. Under the Undying Divine Domain, his injuries healed in an instant. In the process of shattering and healing, he fought more and more fiercely, his body colliding with the heavy hammer and creating endless sparks.

In all the years that the Demon Elephant Lord has traversed the seventh level of Hell, he has never seen a being that can rival him in strength. This human is the first!

It refused to believe the evil spirits and kept smashing down with the giant hammer weighing a million tons. Its own arms were also covered with bulging veins and bursting blood vessels, which obviously had a great impact force.

But the black-armored swordsman, under such an onslaught, was still able to handle it with ease, and even possessed an indestructible body that allowed him to cheat.

Any injury heals instantly, and his stamina is terrifying. Ghost Elephant Lord was horrified to discover that this person had no weaknesses in any attribute!

Ultimate strength, absolute defense, super speed, abnormal physique, terrifying endurance, godlike perception... This is a true all-around warrior!

In this situation, unless you can achieve overwhelming superiority in a certain dimension, you can forget about defeating your opponent in a protracted battle.

But do I have it myself?

Even its strength, which the Demon Elephant Clan is proud of, can only barely hold its own against the opponent when it is a whole realm higher. How can it possibly fight?

boom!

After another collision, Ghost Elephant Lord looked at the hideous wound on his chest and let out a deep breath.

"Very well, humans, you've driven me to such a desperate situation. I will remember you forever."

Its body swelled, and with a roar, it transformed into a real black giant elephant, its aura seemingly rising even higher.

"The power of a tyrant!"

The strongest member of the Elephant Clan is the Sky-Supporting Giant Elephant, Phinks, also known as the "Tyrant of Power"!

It activated the tyrant's power within its bloodline, determined to suppress the human in terms of strength!

The giant elephant, wielding its trunk like a giant hammer, charged forward recklessly.

Seeing that something was amiss, Li Wei activated the Peng Snake Path and decided to temporarily avoid the limelight.

Sometimes he soars to great heights, sometimes he is as graceful as a dragon in flight!

The sword energy left wounds on the giant elephant's body, and the emperor's magic was equally powerful, blasting the thick elephant hide into pits and causing blood to flow like a river.

Li Wei, like a bull in a fight, slowly exhausted the last bit of strength of the Ghost Elephant Lord.

The demon elephant quickly regained its senses, roaring angrily, but there was nothing it could do.

It had been fighting the old fox for a long time and was already quite exhausted.

It encountered such a monster again, and it was simply no match for it.

"You sly foxes, you've colluded with outsiders, you're doomed!"

Ghost Elephant Lord uttered a harsh threat, immediately blasted open the Nine-Colored Emperor's greatsword, tore apart a group of spiritual soldiers, and was about to break through the void when he crashed head-on into an air wall.

Duang!

Not only that, a prison suddenly appeared out of thin air on the ground with a rumbling sound, a black lightning net covering dozens of miles descended from the sky, and pairs of invisible hands reached out from the void.

Air Castle!

Turn the land into a prison!

Heavenly Net Thunder Light!

The Hand of Nothingness!

The sealing magic that Li Wei had learned would finally come in handy today.

Although it is a seventh-circle spell, many of them are not yet perfected.

But he learned a lot, and quantitative change led to qualitative change.

The demon elephant master was unable to escape for the time being.

After quickly finishing the chant, the Nine-Colored Emperor pointed out with one finger.

Absolutely freezing point!

The demon elephant's mind ceased, and it turned into an ice sculpture.

"Si Lei!"

In an instant, terrifying bolts of lightning fell from the sky.

One after another, seven in a row!

After completing the seventh ring, Li Wei's lightning pillars were more powerful and more numerous than before. How could the Ghost Elephant Lord withstand seven lightning pillars?

Once the void-sealing technique was broken, it struggled to move its body, gazing at the black annihilation divine lightning, the dark death fire, and the scarlet poison covering its entire body...

Despair, utter despair!

Not only are their attributes invincible, but they also have so many vicious methods.

Exhausted, it collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The Emperor pinned it to the ground, and Li Wei landed beside it. The power of the Crimson Dragon was injected into its mind, and the Crimson Slave was put into its control!

Not long after, the Crimson Dragon Mark flashed and disappeared.

Li Wei exhaled a breath of stale air and said:

"What a powerful demon! It can fight me for so long. It truly deserves to be the number one demon of the seventh level. It is indeed qualified to occupy one of my Crimson Slave slots."

As a result, the Scarlet Slave quota is temporarily used up, and Li Wei will need to find a way to reduce the number of personnel or add other methods.

Eisenke is too weak, and its potential has been exhausted by the three sisters. It is unlikely to achieve anything in the future, so there is no need to keep it.

Li Wei looked towards the Demon Fox Mistress on the other side.

Her face was pale; she had just been severely injured by the Ghost Elephant Master and was no match for Li Wei. Now, she was being watched by two powerful men, Lope and the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon. She looked at Li Wei, somewhat confused, unsure whether he was friend or foe, but still said:

"I am the matriarch of the Demon Fox Clan. Thank you for your help."

Li Weidao:

"How can I thank you?"

The Demon Fox Mistress's expression changed, then she smiled, releasing boundless allure, and blushed as she stammered in a low voice:

"Would you agree to repay me with your body?"

Li Wei thought for a moment, then said seriously:

"That's acceptable."

The three sisters were naturally delighted.

They were initially worried that their master would beat and kill the mistress as well.

Since the master is fond of his mother, it would be wonderful if they could be together.

Master is so strong, even the Demon Elephant Lord was defeated. He and Mother are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Only Master's powerful physique could subdue Mother. Even a lover wouldn't be able to...

The Infernal Demon Sword's eyes were vacant.

He watched helplessly as his elder brother brutally smashed the demon elephant spirit to pieces.

That's fucking awesome!

As expected of the eldest brother!

The initial elation of breaking through to the seventh ring vanished in an instant.

In front of his elder brother, what was there to be proud of with his meager talent and cultivation?

"But wait a minute, doesn't my brother have a wife? How could he have taken a fancy to this old fox? Although this old fox is extremely beautiful, he's not clean. How could he be worthy of my brother? My brother isn't a worldly and shallow person like me."

He was muttering to himself.

The Demon Fox Mistress had already gracefully approached Li Wei's side.

Its fingers gently touched Li Wei's chest, and it breathed softly into Li Wei's ear, saying:

"Sir... no, young man, there are too many people around here. Let's go to my residence and I'll thank you properly. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Li Wei grabbed the old fox by the neck and lifted him up.

The Demon Fox Mistress's expression changed.

"What do you mean?"

Li Weidao:

"I'll make you repay me with your body!"

He punched through the Fox Queen's chest and seized her heart.

"If you want to live, don't struggle!"

The power of the Crimson Dragon was injected into the body of the Demon Fox Mistress.

Before long, she gave up struggling and looked at him with respect.

"Greetings, Master."

Li Wei then put the old fox down.

This old fox is of average strength, and with his body severely injured, he is no match for Li Wei at all. Even if Li Wei hadn't launched a sneak attack, he could have easily taken him down.

As a result, there is only one spot left for Scarlet Slavery.

From now on, Li Wei will not enslave people indiscriminately; he will keep them as backups.

It's still a good deal to occupy two slots and enslave two level-eight individuals.

This would be very useful for Livy in establishing a base in Hell.

Seeing their mother enslaved, the three sisters felt a sense of relief.

In this way, the entire Philharmonic City would belong to the owner.

We are all a loving family.

Li Wei used the power of the Death Dragon to almost completely heal the Ghost Elephant Lord's injuries.

The devil stood up and said:

"Thank you, Master."

Li Weidao:

"Go back first and wait for my instructions. I will come to find you later."

The demon god left, originally intending to avenge his son, but ended up getting himself killed in the process.

Seeing that the Demon Fox Mistress was also one of their own, the Purgatory Demon Sword quickly came to Li Wei's side.

"Big brother, you're amazing!"

He took Li Wei's arm and rubbed his thick muscles with his hand.

Their eyes were practically dripping with envy.

"How come those arms are so strong?"

Li Wei pulled his arm back, patted his second brother's shoulder, and laughed:

"You're quite good too. You've become one of the few seventh-circle body-refining wizards in the wizarding world, and you're even a dual cultivator of body-refining magic. Keep it up, maintain this momentum, and becoming a great wizard will be easy for you. Becoming a legendary wizard is your goal."

Purgatory Demon Sword Path:

"Brother, are you almost at the eighth ring road?"

Li Weidao:

"It will still take some time. Maybe the next time we meet in hell, I'll be at the eighth ring."

Purgatory Demon Sword Path:

"Without realizing it, I've fallen a whole realm behind my older brother."

Li Wei said earnestly:

"Don't be discouraged. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who I was. It's pointless to compare yourself to me. Everyone's opportunities and destiny are different."

He added:

"From now on, the Fox Mistress will also be one of us. You'll have a much easier time in Love City from now on. The Mistress will protect you in everything. You just need to work hard to become stronger."

Purgatory Demon Sword Path:

"Thank you for your kind intentions, brother."

Next, Li Wei discussed future development plans with them.

With the Demon Fox Clan as the main force and the Demon Elephant Clan providing covert assistance, they gradually established themselves in the seventh level of Hell, secretly collecting more resources for Li Wei, such as Soul Stones.

Once the seventh floor is almost cleared, we will finally advance to the eighth floor.

Before parting, the second brother watched Li Wei leave with reluctance.

Li Wei instructed the three sisters and the Demon Fox Mistress to take good care of his second brother from now on.

The Fox Queen patted her firm, elastic chest and promised that she would treat her second brother as her own child and take good care of him, and would not disappoint her master.

Li Wei was satisfied.

With the help of the Demon Fox Clan, my second brother's future cultivation will be incredibly smooth.

By incorporating the Elephant Clan and the Fox Clan, Li Wei obtained 103 Soul Stones, making it arguably his most fruitful harvest ever.

Once he returns from the ancient tower, exchanges for the Shadow Emblem, and cultivates for a while longer, his mental strength should be nearing its limit.

Therefore, he doesn't need these soul stones for the time being, so he only keeps a portion of them and plans to give the rest to his clone and Elena.

With rare and precious materials like Soul Stones and Netherworld Jujubes, as well as Clear Heart Tea, their cultivation speed can be further improved, allowing them to reach the eighth ring sooner.

Besides the Soul Stones, there are also 24 billion Underworld Coins, so there won't be a shortage of money for the upcoming trip to the Underworld Market on the eighth floor.

Whether it's soul stones or ghost money, these are secondary.

The bulk of the wealth comes from the minerals, herbs, and other resources that the two major tribes have acquired in Hell over the years—enough to make even a top-tier wizarding organization envious.

Of course, Li Wei only took a portion; the majority was used as operating funds for the two major tribes, since they still needed to develop in Hell.

Li Wei also obtained an eighth-level combat technique passed down through their Demon Elephant Tribe from the Demon Elephant Lord's side, called "The 108 Hammers of the Chaotic Demon Elephant," or simply "The Chaotic Hammer Technique."

It is said to have been created by the “giant elephant supporting the sky” who served among the seventy-two pillars.

This combat technique is extremely powerful. When practiced to its limit, it can unleash 108 strikes in an instant, each strike more powerful than the last, until the final strike delivers the fatal blow!

It was precisely this move that made the Ghost Elephant Lord invincible in the seven levels of hell.

Of course, what it got was only a fragment of the "Heavenly Hammer Technique".

Only the Giant Elephant himself possessed the complete version, which was called "One Thousand and One Hammers of Heaven-Supporting Earth-Treading." It was a supreme level nine combat skill.

According to the barbarian terminology, that colossal elephant supporting the sky was most likely a powerful being who had mastered the "troop type" and was already a top-tier expert in hammer techniques.

Once this hammer technique is mastered to its peak, one can unleash a thousand and one heavy hammer blows in an instant, with the momentum continuously rising. The power of the final blow is enough to tear the sky and split the earth.

Relying on this move, the Giant Elephant is also one of the best among the seventy-two pillars. It is inherently unparalleled in brute strength, and among the level nine powerhouses of Hell, only the Dead Sea Tyrant Whale can contend with it.

This hammer technique is powerful and sweeping, fully utilizing its strength advantage. A single strike to an enemy can cause serious injury, leaving them half-dead.

Li Wei felt that this hammer technique was extremely compatible with his [Dragon Whale Path], both being paths to ultimate power while sacrificing some other attributes.

Relying on the high defense and the high tolerance for error brought by the hexagonal attributes such as physique, once mastered, he only needs one hit to severely injure or even kill the enemy.

Similarly, this hammer technique is extremely difficult to master.

Before leaving, the Ghost Elephant Lord repeatedly emphasized that this combat technique has eight levels, but in the current Ghost Elephant Tribe, there is only one person who has reached the eighth level... and that is himself.

It has been practicing this combat skill since it was a child, and has been learning it for five thousand years.

Its talent is second only to the giant elephant that supports the sky, yet it took it three years to barely get started, so you can imagine how difficult it is.

The difficulty of learning this combat skill increases exponentially with each subsequent level.

So it thoughtfully tells its master that if he cannot master the skill in a short time, he should not be impatient. This combat skill requires time to hone, and haste makes waste.

After practicing a few times, Li Wei officially became a disciple of the Ghost Elephant Master.

The demon king, like the one who saw the ghost, stopped talking nonsense.

It turns out, the owner really is a monster!

The reason Li Wei mastered the skill so quickly was twofold: firstly, his proficiency panel, and secondly, his combat skill level was already high, possessing the [Ten Ultimate Paths] of the Extreme Path Strategy, which gave him a commanding perspective.

Thirdly, the power of the Heaven-Slaying Soldiers. Although the soldiers he possessed were skilled in spear techniques, there are inherent similarities between different combat skills.

He possessed a profound understanding of the art of the gun, and through this ability, he could quickly master other combat skills, even those at level eight.

It takes five thousand years to master this Ghost Elephant Master. Li Wei estimates that with his own cultivation speed, this combat technique can last for two hundred years, which is why it's so awesome!

……

Hell, the eighth level.

Li Wei, carrying the map he had obtained from the Demon Fox Mistress, began to explore.

There's still some time before the underworld market opens, so there's no rush.

He first went to the place where the Black Prison Beast might be hiding, intending to find out what was going on first.

When we're stronger in the future, we'll take it down.

But when he arrived, his brows were furrowed.

Although he did not approach their lair, he could still sense that there was no powerful aura emanating from them. His hidden runes flickered, and he planned to investigate.

But they discovered a scene of broken walls and ruins, with faint traces of the dragon race's aura.

The Black Prison Beast's lair has long been deserted.

"Did they get attacked at their doorstep? Or did they run away?"

Li Wei muttered to himself, unsure why this was happening. Logically, the Black Prison Beast shouldn't know that he had his eye on it. Unless it also possessed a powerful sense of danger, sensing that he was coming for revenge and thus running away beforehand.

"That's enough."

Li Wei turned and left.

The Black Prison Beast wasn't essential to him.

He wouldn't let this affect his mood.

If fate allows, we will meet again in the future.

Li Wei nowadays adopts a Buddhist-like mindset.

……

one year later.

Nora, 517.

A bloody battle that lasted 303 years.

Fire Dragon's Heavenly Craft.

Inside the meditation chamber, as a vast power of ice and fire elements descended and flowed into his body, the Holy Infant opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of cold air.

His aura had clearly reached the level of a senior seventh-ring cultivator.

"As expected of the rare treasure of the bright moon, it increased my mental strength by nearly two hundred points in one go, allowing me to enter the seventh ring senior level ahead of schedule."

In an instant, the illusory and real primordial souls of the Holy Infant flew out.

The Holy Body of Ice and Fire has reached a new level.

Half ice, half fire.

The body of ice is slightly stronger than the body of fire, but it's not a big problem.

Relatively speaking, excessive internal heat is more harmful than excessive internal cold.

Over the years, the Holy Infant has also consulted a large number of classic texts and case studies on the balance of ice and fire.

He plans to research a secret method in a while that can harmonize the balance of ice and fire, yin and yang.

In this way, even if there is a short-term imbalance between ice and fire, the impact will be minimal.

This secret technique is now taking shape and is called the "Ace Equilibrium Law".

The main function of the "Ace Equilibrium Law" is to balance and seal off a portion of an element when it becomes too dominant.

In this way, it will not affect your usual meditation or practice at all.

If it's during a battle, simply unseal it; a short-term imbalance is not a major problem.

Once the Holy Infant becomes powerful enough, it will eventually bring ice and fire to a balance at a certain peak stage, or even completely merge them, and then there will be no problem of imbalance.

In the lungs of the primordial spirit, there was a wisp of cold air that was constantly shifting and uncertain.

This is the [Breath of the Winter Emperor].

"I have now refined two Bright Moon artifacts and four Morning Star artifacts. Even a pig should be able to take off by now... Moreover, my talent is also very good. After testing, my current talent should be equivalent to the legendary [Child of Ice and Fire Dual Elements]. My path of cultivating ice and fire in the future will be smooth sailing, and there will be no obstacles before advancing to the ninth ring."

In my mind.

The companion spirit, Snow King, has evolved once again.

It is no longer the cute snowball it once was; instead, it resembles a snowman with powerful arms and well-developed pectoral muscles. It wears a magnificent ice-blue cloak that exudes a powerful beauty, and an invisible vortex of cold wind swirls around it, chilling it to the bone.

If it weren't for the fact that it was already used to being called Snow King, the Holy Infant would have renamed it Snow Empress.

"The Snow King is a spiritual creature born from the Cold King sequence artifact, but under the catalysis of the Winter Emperor sequence artifact, it continues to evolve and mutate. It seems that the superior and inferior sequence artifacts should have similarities and can promote each other."

Just by looking at the Snow King's appearance, you can tell that he's not someone to be trifled with.

The Holy Infant had also tried, and even the combined might of Roman and the Lion King were no match for its single Qilin Arm. These two fire-type spirits hid in a corner all day, trembling, afraid that if they got too close to the Snow King, they would freeze and extinguish their fire.

The Purple Extreme Sacred Dragon appeared behind the Sacred Infant. It coiled and twisted, covered in purple scales, and wrapped in red and blue ribbons composed of crimson flames and blue frost. It moved without wind, majestic and awe-inspiring, stretching for thousands of meters, exuding a terrifying aura.

After advancing to the seventh ring senior level, the Holy Infant's witch form also underwent a further transformation due to the advancement of the Ice and Fire Holy Body.

These red and blue ribbons, like the rings of stars, are both offensive and defensive, controllable, and permanent. The Holy Infant calls them the "Holy Dragon Domain."

In short, the Holy Infant is now fully confident that he can fight a seventh-ring perfected being on his own, or even defeat him. Even when facing an eighth-ring being, his ability to survive has been greatly improved.

After consolidating his realm, the Holy Infant arrived at the Tower of Dawn.

Next, we should prepare to refine the complete Celestial Star Sword Formation.

Meanwhile, Victor had already finished refining the [Golden Emperor's Ring].

Unlike the Holy Infant, this artifact didn't increase his mental strength, but rather raised his mental strength cap by 200 points. That wasn't bad; given Viktor's talent, the increase in mental strength wouldn't be a problem.

He saw the Holy Infant arrive and smiled, saying:

"Congratulations, you've reached the seventh ring level!"

The Holy Infant asked with some curiosity:

"I heard you've also given birth to a companion spirit. Let me see what it is."

Viktor smiled slightly.

Besides his own sword spirit Frey, he finally has his own companion spirit.

In the blink of an eye, a blurry female figure appeared behind him, dressed in a golden robe and wearing a crown, with her head held high and her face indistinct.

The golden elemental power around her gathered into constantly emerging and disappearing sword energy, giving her an aura that could only be admired from afar and not touched, like a cold and aloof female immortal wielding a sword.

Victor said:

"I call her Golden Emperor, and she is a purely combat-type spirit creature."

The Holy Infant looked at the Golden Emperor behind Victor; it was truly extraordinary, heroic, and pleasing to the eye, like a Valkyrie.

He then looked at his own uniquely styled Snow King...

Both are companion spirits, so why is Victor's so much more handsome?

This man is truly handsome from every angle.

Snow King also emerged from behind the Holy Infant, his small eyes gazing at the older sister in the golden robes.

Yes, there is indeed a significant difference in their appearances...

However, when it comes to actual combat, it feels it is more powerful and pursues pragmatism.

As the two chatted and laughed, Gandalf also stepped in, looking smug.

Although he did not advance to the seventh-ring senior level, his strength was still superior to before.

After refining the Heart of the Silent Whale, Gandalf's maximum mental strength increased by 150 points. His current maximum is 12300 points, second only to his original self's 13079 points.

In addition, he also obtained a special Moon-level talent called "Lone Whale Solo," which gave his Water Element Affinity talent a qualitative change.

With the addition of the top-tier body-refining talent, the speed at which he cultivated the "Thousand Hands Ancient God Body Refining Method" over the years has achieved a leap forward. Unfortunately, the lack of accompanying spiritual objects or other special means is a minor drawback.

His "Ten-Winged Heavenly Dragon Body Refining Method" is not far from the seventh ring, and the strongest secret of the Ming King Martial Arts, the "Ming King Dragon Elephant Fist," has been deduced to the realm of fifteen dragons and fifteen elephants.

The power of that punch was so great that even a seventh-ring perfect wizard dared not meet it head-on and could only temporarily avoid its edge.

Gandalf laughed:

"It seems that both of you have made great progress in your skills, and you are already senior members of the seventh ring."

Holy Infant Path:

"You won't be far behind. By the time you reach the seventh ring, our Heavenly Star Sword Formation should be fully completed. Then the three of us can join forces to hunt down level eight demons and strive to break into the top ten of the rankings as soon as possible."

Gandalf laughed:

"No problem. I'll be stationed at the Body Refining Academy from now on. The 'Amethyst Body Refining Method' has made some progress recently. The low-level body refining method is almost ready to be released. Hehehe, next up is another Morning Star level body refining artifact. In the meantime, could you please keep an eye on my Gandalf Pharmacy for me?"

Victor said:

"Go ahead and don't worry."

Fire Dragon Heavenly Craft Refining Room.

The Holy Infant took out the remaining 6 Blood Scales.

Victor said:

"This Bloodscale Venerable is a very kind person. He gave us exactly 13 Bloodscales, which perfectly match the Thirteen Killing Array of the Godfall Star. It was destined that he would suffer this calamity."

Holy Infant Path:

"Perhaps so. Everything in the universe operates and changes in a mysterious way, following its own trajectory. Every drink and every bite is interconnected."

……

hell.

The eighth floor.

A figure in black armor toyed with a white bone sword in his hand, riding a majestic white tiger, moving at varying paces. On his shoulder, a golden-haired rat with wings on its back whimpered and pointed the way, its eyes gleaming.

In the blink of an eye, Li Wei had been wandering around Hell for a year. Following Ah Jin, he had acquired some rare and precious materials from Hell, and even found a high-quality seventh-ring witch artifact that had been lost in Hell, called "Bone Mourning," a secret sword worth a lot of money.

Suddenly, a small tavern appeared ahead, its dim light reflecting the hellish sunset.

The sounds of lively drinking and rock-paper-scissors could be faintly heard from inside.

This scene reminded Li Wei of the once-famous Shining Tavern.

After the Rose Witch's fall, the management rights of the Shining Tavern were transferred to Li Wei free of charge, and he sent people to take over as one of the intelligence departments of the Twilight Temple.

The Seven Legendary Knights remain the same, with no new additions. They have become a symbol of a bygone era, a tribute to bygone times.

"Let's have a drink."

Li Wei rode a majestic white tiger and stepped into it.

The tavern's patrons were a group of bizarre undead creatures: undead skeletons, bone goblins, ghosts, skeletal knights... They drank their wine, letting it spill out of the skeletons and onto the floor.

They were not surprised to see a stranger like Li Wei, and fearing his powerful aura, they dared not approach to disturb him.

Those undead who can survive on the eighth floor are all cunning and powerful, with many exceeding level six.

"Boss, bring me some of the best wine."

Li Wei shouted, his voice like thunder.

"The drinks are here!"

A skeleton dressed in gentleman's attire and wearing a top hat dragged a bottle of dark green wine through the crowded streets.

Li Wei took the wine, drank it all in one gulp, pointed to the distant towering mountains and the bone tower standing there, and asked:

"Whose residence is that over there? It looks like a wizard's dwelling."

The skull, its eye sockets gazing into the distance, said:

"Guest, you've just arrived on the eighth floor, haven't you? This area of ​​ours is called 'Paradise of the Dead.' Including our tavern, it's all protected by that bone tower. Even the devils of hell wouldn't dare to provoke it. The owner of that bone tower is called 'Mr. Lost Heart,' but behind his back, some people call him... the Mad Lich."

Li Weidao:

"I see, thank you."

Upon entering this region, he sensed a faint feeling of being probed and spied upon, and guessed that there was a powerful figure there. He never expected it to be a lich.

To be able to openly build one's own wizard tower on the eighth floor, one must have some skill, both in terms of strength and background.

Since it was someone else's property, Li Wei, who had originally wanted to recruit some of the dead, lost interest and left after finishing his drink.

As we walked to a desolate place, an old gentleman stood by the roadside. He wore glasses and had an elegant and simple scholarly air, exuding an aura of perfect composure.

"Lord Li Wei, my master invites you to be his guest."

Li Wei remained calm and said:

"I have some things to do, maybe next time."

The old gentleman smiled politely and said:

"Alright, then please take care."

He watched Li Wei's figure disappear into the distance. From within the Bone Tower, a calling seemed to echo.

"Come back, Brad."

The old man's figure disappeared into the wilderness.

Inside the study, an elderly man dressed in a white robe, somewhat thin and with a slightly bluish complexion, was studying something in front of a pile of crystal balls. He was none other than Mr. Lost Heart.

Brad said:

"This person is quite cautious and declined the master's invitation."

Mr. Lost Heart raised his head and smiled:

"It must have been those undead in the tavern who told him I was crazy, which scared him. It's alright, there's plenty of time, he'll definitely come back here again."

……

Leave the Land of the Dead.

Li Wei randomly chose a devil city and waited for the underworld market to open.

"Mr. Lost Heart? Among the current high-ranking members of the Death School, I have never heard of a lich whose strength is at least at the eighth level of perfection, or even possibly a great wizard."

The most famous lich in the Wizarding World is the Hellwalker.

This person is an ancient relic of the wizarding world, and the only publicly known lich of the Grand Wizard level. However, he holds a position in the Wizarding Council and resides in the Central Realm year-round.

"However, although this Mr. Lost Heart is powerful, he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions."

Li Wei would definitely not accept an invitation with such unclear motives.

"The Underworld Market has opened!"

In the sky, the mighty River Styx reappeared, and a mast sailboat slowly descended. The demons swarmed aboard and sailed away in a noisy throng.

"They look just like the elderly folks I used to see at the market in my past life..."

With a staggering 24 billion ghost money in his pocket, Li Wei arrived at the ship.

In the square, a burly man with his arms crossed stared at Li Wei.

The burly man with the tiger-like head was taken aback.

"Is it him again?"

Last time they were only on the seventh floor, and now they dare to roam the eighth floor?

The number of level eight experts here is far greater than that of the seventh floor.

Recalling his previous experience of checking this person's lifespan, the burly man felt a pain in his eyes and immediately closed them to rest.

Li Wei was already picking and choosing at the stall.

"Divine Fruit, 2 million ghost coins, buy!"

The Spirit Fruit is of little use to him now, but he keeps it in reserve for any eventuality.

"Soul Stones, five million Nether Coins each, take them all!"

In the blink of an eye, another eighty soul stones were obtained.

"As expected, it has to be the eighth level of hell; all the stuff there is good."

In this way, Li Wei has obtained nearly two hundred soul stones. If he refines them all, increasing his spiritual power by about a thousand points will not be a problem.

Of course, such a massive surge in spiritual power in a short period of time is unsustainable and should be avoided. It requires a phased, batch-wise, and reasonable process of refining and absorbing the spiritual power.

Soulstones are a true form of hard currency in the Wizarding World.

As the bloody battle began, the value skyrocketed.

Previously, it could be exchanged for five million Taishi, but now it has exceeded ten million.

Even so, it's impossible to buy them at all.

Unless a wizard is desperately short of money, no one will sell soul stones.

This kind of thing that directly enhances mental power is crucial for wizards whose meditation efficiency is low!
