Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 531 The Treasure Trove of the Emperors (Long Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

Gondor.

The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.

The Holy Infant was abducted by the dragon in broad daylight.

Rumors of Master Fire Dragon's murder spread quickly.

The whole city was in an uproar!

Many people in the witchcraft community have also heard of this.

As the leader of the massive weapon-making organization, Fire Dragon Craft.

Master Fire Dragon is no ordinary supernova.

This matter is of great importance, and Parliament will certainly conduct a thorough investigation.

Two figures descended upon the Fire Dragon Craftsmanship; they were Alyssa Draco and Ashe.

For centuries, they have been hunting demons.

Now, he has also broken into the top 100 of the Level 8 Demon Slayer Ranking.

By exchanging battle merits for rare items, the two women's talents have also improved considerably.

With their diligent cultivation, they are now all senior cultivators at the seventh ring level.

Upon hearing that Master Fire Dragon had been attacked, they rushed to the scene immediately.

"Has the master returned?"

"not yet."

Upon hearing this news, Alyssandra pulled Ashe away and shattered the void.

Ashe asked, "Where are we going?"

"Go find my father."

……

The Realm of Sleeping Dragons.

The lava dragon looked at its long-lost daughter and asked in surprise, "Why are you back?"

"Father, have you heard about Fire Dragon Ace?"

"I've heard about it."

What was the parliament's reaction?

"I don't know the specifics either. Did you come here for him?"

"Yes, Father, do you have a solution?"

"I don't have it either. If a level nine expert wants to ambush and take away a level seven expert, there's no way to defend against this. Nora is so big, there will always be oversights."

"That master?"

"Don't worry, Lucien is the offspring of the Undying Ones of the Thousand Mountains. As the city lord, he must have reported this matter to the legendary wizard immediately. The legendary wizard must have some means to achieve his goal."

Her father's words brought Alysandra a slight sense of relief.

Ash took her hand and said:

"Master Fire Dragon is no ordinary person; he shouldn't have perished so easily."

The Lava Dragon said, "You two also need to be careful. Although the Council of All Races has been lying low for a long time, it has never given up persecuting geniuses in the Witch Realm. You can't let your guard down just because you've advanced to the seventh ring. Not long ago, the Sky Dragon Witch was attacked while hunting demons and almost lost his life."

Alyssa frowned and said, "He's been a senior seventh-ring cultivator for a long time, and his cultivation is even above the two of us. Who is that attacker?"

"An eighth-level Amethyst Clan member, who calls himself 'Bloody Mountain,' has already hunted down one eighth-ring wizard and three seventh-ring wizards. He is most likely still lurking near Nora, waiting for his chance to strike."

"Father, if you have any news about Master Fire Dragon, please let me know immediately."

The two women returned to Gondor and couldn't help but sigh.

The joy of recently redeeming the rare item from the Moonlit Night was also dispelled.

"Good people are always blessed; trust the master."

Upon arriving at Fire Dragon Craft, they discovered a wizard's tower standing there, its colors a striking ice blue.

At the top floor, a figure in purple robes stood with his hands behind his back, looking down with a smile on his face.

The two women had rather interesting expressions, thinking they were hallucinating.

"Master, are you alright?" Alexandra asked.

"It was a false alarm; I was saved by a master," Ace said with a smile.

With her tension eased, Aisha said, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."

The Holy Infant joked, "You two look even more nervous than I am. Thank you for your concern."

"Of course, we also hope that the master will lead us to create new glories, so that the Fire Dragon Craft's industries can spread across multiple planes and become famous throughout the world." Alyssa Draco said with longing.

Aisha simply smiled and remained silent.

"We've heard that a very skilled dwarven craftsman has recently joined the organization. Master, please introduce us to him."

"Are you going to hunt demons again?"

"I'm not going for now; I've accumulated enough merits."

"Alright."

Master Fire Dragon returned safely.

Within Gondor, there was joy and sorrow.

Most of the time, they were happy.

If it weren't for the three heroes defending the city, Gondor would have suffered far greater losses than it has now.

Having such a powerful figure in charge is a blessing for ordinary wizards.

Subsequently, the city of Gondor issued a statement.

Master Fire Dragon has been rescued by a mysterious powerful figure and has returned safely, so there is no need for anyone to worry.

Fire Dragon Craft's operations are running smoothly.

This minor incident passed just like that.

……

Ancient Dragon Continent.

Imperial Palace.

When Elena saw that Levi had returned safely, she stood on tiptoe and hugged him.

"You really scared me. You're taking too much risks."

"Don't worry, I'm back safely, aren't I?"

After calming Elena down, Levi returned to the edge of the small stone pool.

By using the Holy Infant's fire element to burn the heavenly body, it was actually possible to evade the dragon's capture.

Li Wei was using this opportunity to completely eliminate Dagon.

Relying on the [Secret Words Without Hidden Meanings].

No matter where the Holy Infant is, he can send its true form into the Nightmare World.

As an avatar, the concept of "perception" inevitably exists between the Holy Infant and the original.

Moreover, it was through memories gained from previously hunting down Dagon's subordinates.

Li Wei knew that Dagon had captured the Holy Infant in order to enslave him.

In general, the capture of the Holy Infant was all part of his plan, so it's not a big problem.

He has the ability to keep the Holy Infant out of danger at any time.

Therefore, Victor and Gandalf remained completely unperturbed.

The infant Jesus' panic was also an act, intended to lower Dagon's guard.

On the contrary, Lucien, the two dragon-born women, and others who were unaware of the truth were very worried.

True friendship is revealed in times of trouble; these are people worth befriending.

Back in the Ancient Banyan Wonderland, Li Wei took out Dagon's ring.

There weren't many spoils inside, and Li Wei quickly finished counting them.

The first category is various rare metals.

It was probably for forging that dragon armor.

All these things, in total, are worth 50 billion taiwan.

However, the most valuable item is a level nine [Rui'er Stone] the size of a human head.

It contains the [sharpening] property, and Li Wei had previously obtained a small piece of it.

This thing is naturally used to reforge the [Crimson Dragon Iron Slayer].

According to Dagon's memory.

This person participated in the plundering of a branch treasury of the Council of All Races.

This level nine ore is one of the harvests.

Secondly, there is the upper body armor of the Hades Armor.

Now let's look at it.

Previously, there was chaos in the branches of the Council of All Races.

Locus and Dagon divided up the incomplete Hades Armor within the organization's treasury.

Dagon was later hunted down by the organization's enforcers and lost another arm armor.

The enforcer was severely wounded by Orgrim and perished in the Darklands.

Then the arm armor was picked up by Aya.

Thus, through Ara, Dagon, and Lox.

The upper body armor of Hades Armor is now assembled.

According to Diggard.

Even a half-body Hades Armor is quite powerful.

Wearing it can temporarily protect against level nine damage.

However, without the identity of Hades, many of the armor's functions cannot be activated.

Li Wei plans to find an opportunity to experiment with it.

If it really can't be worn, then destroy this treasure and melt it down into raw materials.

Then it can be used for refining weapons, which is also a good option.

In addition, there are several combat techniques and a treasure map.

These were all passed down from the ancestors of Emperor Dagon.

Combat skills aren't very useful to Li Wei, but he can take a look at the treasure map when he has time.

With his current level of cultivation, ordinary treasures are no longer enough to tempt him.

Finally, to Li Wei's surprise, was a massive, dark gold shield.

He was very familiar with its craftsmanship and materials; it was a token from the imperial treasury.

With a wave of his hand, Li Wei conjured up 11 different kinds of obsidian weapons.

All the tokens hummed and trembled.

At the same time, beams of light shot into the sky.

Ripples began to flow across the vast expanse of the sky, eventually converging to form an inverted ocean.

A giant shark, a giant whale, an octopus, a sturgeon, a giant crab... twelve illusory sea creatures floated and sank within it.

This symbolizes the twelve most powerful emperors of the sea race in ancient times.

The fish-man covered in golden scales and with dragon whiskers must have been the ancestor of Baghdad, the Sturgeon King.

It held a trident and had a majestic expression.

The seawater formed a whirlpool, and a black hole slowly took shape.

This is the treasure trove of the emperors that the sea creatures have always longed for.

Li Wei arrived at the entrance of the passage, but a force was resisting him.

"Is identity verification still required?"

With that in mind, he summoned Baghdad.

It is a true descendant of the Sea Queen, a genuine and authentic one.

Baghdad was shocked to see the strange phenomenon in the sky.

It said in an excited and trembling voice:

"Master, have you collected all the sea creature tokens?"

Li Wei nodded calmly.

Baghdad was filled with mixed emotions.

What these sea creatures failed to accomplish over hundreds of thousands of years throughout the near-ancient era.

The master completed it himself, in just a thousand years.

He may not have even deliberately collected them.

If the Eight-Armed Demon Emperor in the netherworld knew this, one wonders what he would think.

Is this what they call being blessed with good fortune?

"Baghdad, try to get in."

"Yes, Master."

Baghdad arrived at the outer edge of the black hole and then successfully stepped into it.

The next moment, it turned back.

"Master, you may come in."

Li Wei then crawled into Baghdad's body, wanting to see if he could get inside.

It worked unexpectedly; the identity verification is still not smart enough.

What comes into view is a magnificent cluster of temples.

In the very center of the square, there is an altar, which has always been used to worship the sea god.

Li Wei easily detected the boundaries of this place with his mental power.

There are no sun, moon, or stars in the sky here, and there are invisible barriers all around.

"This treasure trove of emperors is not located in some secret realm, but within the inner world of some kind of extraordinary treasure. Those tokens are the keys to unlocking this inner world."

Baghdad stared around in shock.

They clearly couldn't believe they had entered the treasure trove of their ancestors' legends.

In each of those temples, there was a statue of a giant man in blue armor.

Its face is weathered, and it has gill-like organs on both sides.

Its upper body is human, but its lower body is a thick fish tail, and it has a shark dorsal fin on its back.

In his hand, he held a three-pointed, double-edged sword, similar to the weapon of Erlang Shen of Guankou.

Baghdad said, "This is the legendary sea god; it seems to be true."

Livi led Baghdad to the altar.

He inspected all the buildings, and this was the place where something might be amiss.

The altar depicts a magnificent image of the sea god riding the waves.

"Baghdad, go up there and take a look."

"OK."

Baghdad did not hesitate, which made Li Wei nod slightly.

Baghdad has been quite sensible throughout this journey.

Buzz! A beam of light shot into the sky above the altar.

A door opened, followed by a great voice speaking in the language of the sea people.

【You weak sea creature, you are not even qualified to set foot in this place.】

A colossal phantom, ten thousand meters tall and clad in blue armor, appeared.

Its face resembles a shark, and it is probably a projection of some kind of power from an ancient shark king.

Li Wei frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

Baghdad looked up at the giant and said:

"How can I get involved?"

The colossal phantom hummed:

Defeat me.

Baghdad's expression changed; it did not yet possess level seven strength.

The illusory figure before me is clearly at the eighth level.

How could it possibly defeat its opponent?

"Great ancestors of the sea race, the sea race is now facing a calamity and its population is declining. As the current leader of the sea race, I wish to lead the people out of this predicament and return to the glorious ancient era. I beg you, ancestors, to allow me to enter and obtain the sea race's heritage to strengthen the sea race."

Defeat me.

The giant phantom repeated these words.

Baghdad looked at Livy, somewhat at a loss.

But Li Wei seemed to be deep in thought with his eyes closed.

Then he opened his eyes and pointed a finger!

A purple lightning ray tore through the sky and struck the phantom.

Rumble! The phantom began to disintegrate.

Li Wei, holding Baghdad, transformed into a ray of light and rushed into the doorway.

So far, all danger perception has been normal.

This means that there was nothing in the treasure vault that posed a threat to his life.

With his near-level nine strength, he could easily force his way in.

On the other side of the door, there is a hidden world.

All around, there was only a vast expanse of white fog.

Li Wei activated the Crimson Emperor Domain, and the flames dispersed the mist.

A towering, pitch-black throne, tens of thousands of meters high, stands in the center.

On the throne was an enormous head.

Its eyes were closed, and it looked exactly like the head of the statue.

I don't know what secret method was used to preserve it.

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, yet the head still looks as if it had just died.

Beneath the throne lay a translucent blue boot.

Its surface ripples with water, and mysterious runes of truth shine.

All around were the strange sights of crashing waves and a vast ocean.

Li Wei's expression brightened with joy.

"The Blue Emperor's Boots?"

These boots were, in fact, one of the artifact components of the Elemental Proof he needed.

It was truly an unexpected delight.

In retrospect, the so-called imperial treasury...

This should be the place where the sea god fell and was buried.

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed.

The ninth-level remains of the sea god were transformed into a Sun-level wonder in this place by chance.

Li Wei did not rush to take it; the sea god's head gave him an unusual feeling.

Suddenly, he began to recite the secret mantra of no concealment.

[It senses everything, and nothing can hide from it!]

A vague image appeared in his mind:

In the Star Realm Ruins, azure stars float.

The vast ocean, with towering waves reaching tens of thousands of meters high.

Strange angels moving among them.

A majestic temple standing between heaven and earth.

A towering, imposing figure in a blue robe, resembling an emperor.

And then there were the slightly surprised, indifferent blue eyes on the throne.

Those blue eyes seemed to transcend endless space, meeting Li Wei's gaze.

……

Li Wei's inner thoughts had changed, and he had already come to some understanding.

A deity in the astral realm is watching over everything in the royal treasuries.

He sensed Livy when

It was actually captured by Li Wei's "Secret Words Without Hidden Meanings".

This shows that His strength was average.

But they are able to reside in the astral plane and possess their own divine kingdom.

That must be a real god, not some angel.

Li Wei looked at the sea god's head; it was clearly the sea god's doing.

He came to the head, and a phantom image appeared.

Its appearance is exactly the same as that of the blue-armored giant statue.

He held a weapon in his hand that resembled a three-pointed double-edged sword.

Li Wei sensed a divine aura in this phantom.

The phantom of the sea god gazes at Baghdad, its eyes wide with fury.

[You descendant of the sea race, you have brought a foreign tribe into this land without permission. I will descend upon you...]

Before the phantom could finish speaking, it was cleaved in two by Li Wei's sword.

They merged together and roared as they charged toward Li Wei.

An invisible wave began to sweep through, shaking the very soul.

Baghdad was struck as if by a heavy blow, and he knelt on the ground as if worshipping a god.

"Kamui? Too weak!"

Li Wei snorted coldly, and an even more vast and majestic aura descended like the sun.

Roar! Accompanied by a dragon's roar that shook the universe.

Six colossal dragon phantoms, radiating overwhelming majesty, appeared out of nowhere.

You have divine power, and I have dragon power!

The clash of two powerful mental energy fluctuations shattered the space as if it were glass.

The remaining divine power was no match for Li Wei's dragon might, and it receded like the tide.

Baghdad has returned to normal, but the fear lingers.

It stared at its master with a shocked expression.

He actually dared to confront the majesty of the sea god.

At this moment, the master's figure grew even taller.

The so-called divine power refers to the majesty generated by powerful beings of demigod rank or above through divine power.

This thing is only used to scare believers or their families.

No matter which elemental spirit wizard it is, it will not be affected.

Let alone Li Wei?

Seeing that it could not intimidate Li Wei, the phantom of the sea god roared and thrust its three-pointed double-edged sword forward.

Li Wei remained unmoved, and the nine-colored emperor appeared behind him.

A towering figure, wielding the Emperor's Sword, slashed down with the force of splitting Mount Hua!

The chaotic sword energy was like the Milky Way hanging upside down from the heavens, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.

Boom! The phantom of the sea god was sent flying backward and crashed into the throne.

Li Wei, not one to back down, launched a fierce attack, each sword strike stronger than the last.

In the blink of an eye, all 108 swords combined into the strongest single sword strike!

This sword strike was like a colossal elephant galloping towards the sky, domineering and unparalleled.

The phantom of the sea god shattered completely, disintegrating into nothingness.

Those who blaspheme against the gods will be condemned to eternal damnation!

"Come down here if you dare."

Li Wei ignored the threat.

The gods, though powerful, are trapped in the astral plane.

Only angels and divine incarnations can be sent down.

Even so, it still requires the consumption of that incomparably precious divine power.

Therefore, most of their words are just useless threats.

Especially for a powerhouse like Li Wei.

Even if an angel came, he would still chop them down without hesitation!

These days, if you want to make a name for yourself in the multiverse, you have to slay gods!

Ding! A crystal the size of a fingernail, emitting a blue luster, fell to the ground.

Livy picked it up with the hands of a wizard and examined it carefully.

"This is... a crystallization of divinity."

So-called divine crystals are special substances that may precipitate out from divine existence.

Divinity does not refer to demigods or true gods.

The multiverse includes various totems, ancestral spirits, evil gods, and other beings that follow the path of faith.

Essentially, all those who rely on faith and incense to cultivate themselves can be called "gods".

Of course, these can only be called "false gods".

Otherwise, there would be far too many gods in the world.

In the taxonomy of wizards, only those qualified to ignite the divine fire in the astral plane are true gods.

Therefore, divine crystals are also known as faith crystals.

Based on what I just saw and heard.

The ancient sea god who fell from grace should be considered a demigod.

And it seems to be connected to a certain true god in the astral plane.

Perhaps he's the true god's underling, or a newly created pseudonym.

However, he died prematurely and had to give up.

However, because the divine connection was still intact, it was possible to peer into Li Wei's mind through the head of the sea god.

There was no real imperial treasury.

They were merely using the sea god as a channel to collect the faith of the sea creatures.

Li Wei made a bold guess.

What if it wasn't me who opened the treasure vault, but some level eight sea monster emperor?

It will most likely be controlled by that "sea god" and thus reborn with his help.

In short, all of this was just a backup plan by that god in the astral realm.

The other party's divine authority should be related to the ocean or water.

According to theological knowledge, there are many deities involved in this type of divine authority.

Lake gods and river gods are all inferior deities.

Li Wei sealed the divine crystal and soaked it in a purifying potion.

He does not intend to follow the path of deification through faith.

But it's still a good thing.

Whether for research or trading, it's excellent.

Then Livy came to the throne.

At this point, the head of the sea god had dried up and was no longer as vibrant as before.

Without divine power, it has long been eroded beyond recognition by the passage of time.

However, although its extraordinary properties dissipated, the material itself was still quite good.

Li Wei also put it away, intending to use it for weapon crafting later.

Inside the skull was a dark red crystal, exuding a bloody aura.

"Is this the remnants of the Sea God's blood?"

Based on current understanding, the sea god was the leader of a powerful ancient sea tribe.

It was the first to break through to level nine and was then used by the true god of the astral plane.

These blood-red crystals might be useful to Baghdad.

Perhaps the bloodline of the Sturgeon King in Baghdad can undergo a transformation.

Besides these, there was nothing else in the vault.

Rumble! The space began to tremble.

Li Wei led Baghdad back the way they came, returning to the Ancient Banyan Wonderland.

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky.

The strange phenomena slowly dissipated, and the ocean ceased to exist.

A beam of blue light fell from the black hole and landed not far away.

This is a small, blue castle shaped like a head.

Baghdad picked it up and muttered:

"Master, this is an eighth-level rare treasure, the Deep Sea Fortress."

Li Wei took it.

Sure enough, the interior of the castle was a world of its own.

Inside, the houses are neatly arranged, and there are numerous buildings and temples.

In addition, this castle should also possess the power of suppression and sealing.

Overall, it's a very good level eight spatial treasure.

After checking it over and finding no problems, Livy bestowed the treasure upon Baghdad.

"Take it; use it as a residence for the sea creatures from now on."

We saved the cost of a Star Castle, which is truly wonderful.

"Thank you, sir. On behalf of all the sea creatures, I am deeply grateful."

"Just focus on your work from now on."

"By the way, this should be the blood of the sea god. See if you can refine and use it."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Baghdad held the two heavy treasures in his hands.

Bringing the sea creatures back was indeed the right choice.

Whether it's it or any other sea creature, they now have no more worries.

Upon returning, Baghdad settled all the sea creatures in the more spacious [Deep Sea Castle].

This extraordinary treasure can automatically gather the power of the water element, which is more beneficial to the growth of sea creatures.

It returned the level-seven rare treasure, the City of Pure White, to Li Wei.

Li Wei used it as a base for other alien races on the Ancient Dragon Continent.

He arrived at the Ancient Banyan Wonderland and began refining the [Blue Emperor's Boots].

In an instant, the strange object transformed into a warm blue current that flowed into Li Wei's mind.

Before long, it was refined by Li Wei.

"As expected, these kinds of rare items don't need to be refined; they can be absorbed directly."

The same applies to the Sword of the Flame Emperor and the Throne of the Ice Emperor.

This refining process did not result in a strong sense of mental enhancement.

Levi placed his hand on the Klein crystal ball.

His mental strength limit increased by 1,000, reaching 26800 points.

The limit for a regular eighth-ring wizard is 24000 points.

"That's right, the higher the potential, the more helpful it is for advancing to the level of a Grand Wizard."

That being said, Li Wei did not intend to deliberately raise the upper limit of his mental power; he would let nature take its course.

Li Wei's consciousness came to mind.

On the stone platform on the third floor of the French Ring Tower, a pair of blue boots floated.

Three of the seven wonders of the Elemental Proof have already been collected.

The spell model of 【Water Dragon's Roar】 features a blue dragon pearl held in the mouth of a divine dragon.

This innate spell has also undergone a transformation.

Li Wei arrived in the nightmare world, and a thought crossed his mind.

On the plains ahead, a water dragon materialized, encircling the mortal world, causing the heavens and earth to spin.

Then a gigantic waterspout, stretching to the heavens and covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles, solidified.

The immense suction force draws in matter from all directions.

Mountains, the earth's crust, vegetation... even space itself, everything was shattered in the vortex.

The waterspout lingered and continued to move.

Wherever it went, it caused destruction and left a trail of devastation.

Even an eighth-ring wizard caught in it risks death and extinction.

"After being modified, Water Dragon's Roar has transformed from a simple control spell into a spell with wide-range destructive power, and its duration has also increased."

This type of magic is best suited for large-scale warfare.

Whether controlling powerful enemies or slaughtering weaker opponents, it's a divine skill.

To date, five of Li Wei's innate spells have undergone transformation.

The Fire Dragon Calamity transforms into the Flame Emperor's Sword to slay all enemies, a single-target attack.

Thunder Dragon Flash: A movement technique and area-of-effect damage.

Shadow Dragons, summoning a group of enhanced creatures.

Ice Dragon Prison: Extremely strong crowd control.

In addition, Li Wei also developed a water elemental affinity talent called "Blue Emperor".

He already possessed the talents of [Ice Emperor] and [Flame Emperor].

There is also the Shadow talent [Shadow Body] obtained from [Shadow Emblem].

The Thor Body, a rare artifact in the Thor sequence.

These five talents absorbed all the special talents, large and small, from various factions that Li Wei had previously obtained by refining the Truth Artifact... Yes, they are evolving.

One day.

These Sun-level artifacts may have even greater potential.

To become a true legendary talent or a god-level talent.

Unfortunately, the [Blue Emperor's Boots] also failed to spawn any accompanying spirit items.

This should be a common characteristic of such strange objects, which Li Wei had already anticipated.

Back in the Ancient Banyan Wonderland, the golden-armored child flew into Li Wei's palm.

"Master, I...I'm hungry again."

"Let's go, let's hunt demons."

With their strength improved, Li Wei also wanted to test his skills.

He and Leon embarked on another demon-hunting journey.

……

Astral Plane.

Manxing Wilderness.

A star floats on the desolate sea.

Amidst the raging waves of the sea, a majestic temple stands tall.

The god sat enthroned on his throne, flanked by two twelve-winged sea angels.

"How is this possible? This person actually sensed my gaze, and he's not even at level nine..."

He is Poseidon, the god of sea creatures, a minor deity.

Although weak, it was a being that was deified in ancient times.

It's just that the spread of faith is too slow, which leads to a slow increase in divine power and an inability to improve strength.

One of the main reasons is that He has too few followers.

It was limited to some wild tribes such as sea monsters.

That's why it wanted to use Nanora's sea god clone.

The belief gradually spread to sea creatures or other marine civilizations.

He only possessed a small portion of the divine authority over the ocean; his power among the gods was merely average.

It is completely incomparable to the Primordial Sea God who resides in the Thousand Hills Kingdom.

Now, this backup plan has also been destroyed by the Twilight Palace Master who mistakenly entered the palace.

This grievance is truly indescribable.

I will not rest until I avenge this grudge.

In the land of Nora, He dared not act rashly.

But if this person ever comes to the territory of his faith, he will definitely be taught a lesson.

Divine power is not to be profaned!

……

Time flies, and fourteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Nora year 1060.

Body Refinement Academy.

"It's done! This time it's really done!"

The members of the Body Refinement Method Research Group cheered with joy.

After centuries of research and hundreds of experiments, the advanced version of the "Amethyst Body Refining Method" has been published.

Only they themselves know the hardships they endured.

Gandalf laughed heartily:

"From now on, there will be another body-refining method that directly leads to the Yuan Soul realm for wizards to choose from."

After testing, the quality of the "Amethyst Body Refining Method" far surpasses that of other Yuanhun-level body refining methods.

It is already comparable to the ancient four-level techniques, such as the "Eight-Armed Demon God Body Refining Method".

The academy's dean, Bai Yin, exclaimed, "You are all truly remarkable! The Four Ancient Body Refining Methods are now a thing of the past. From now on, it will be the Five Nora Body Refining Methods. I will arrange for the Body Refining Daily to publicize your achievements. You are all great contributors and will be remembered for eternity."

Gandalf said, "No, the four ancient methods have all stood the test of time. The Amethyst Body Refining Method is still lacking in practical application... Practice is the only indicator to test a method."

"Haha, then so be it."

Throughout the entire process, I have been in charge of researching the low-level, mid-level, and high-level chapters of the Amethyst Body Refining Method.

Gandalf gained a lot and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

He had a clearer understanding of his path to body refinement and a greater chance of advancing to the ninth ring.

After the victory banquet, the White Banker led Gandalf to the Institute's Treasury.

He said, "Body-refining artifacts are extremely rare. The academy currently only has three Sun-level body-refining artifacts in stock. You can choose one."

Gandalf's heart skipped a beat.

There are actually three... Suddenly I feel more hopeful for the future.

The three wondrous objects placed before him each had their own unique merits.

They all radiated a divine light, mysterious and extraordinary.

[Shoulders of the Giant God], [Blood of the Dragon God], [Body of the Wild God].

Gandalf was caught in a dilemma.

"They're all top-notch, I want them all!"

In the end, he chose the Blood of the Dragon God.

This is a drop of truth, a wondrous object that looks like blood.

Its surface emits a pale blue glow, accompanied by the sound of the sea; it belongs to the ocean faction.

Even after obtaining the blood of the dragon god, Gandalf's eyes remained fixed on the two wondrous objects, showing some reluctance.

Seeing this, the White Banker laughed and said, "Don't be discouraged. As long as you can achieve other great feats, this Sun-level wonder will still be yours."

"Senior, what counts as making a great contribution? If I become an unprecedented body-refining master wizard, does that count?" Gandalf asked.

"That definitely counts."

"If I collect the 'Thousand-Eyed Titan Body Refinement Method,' will that count?"

"Do you have any information about this body-refining technique?"

"These are just some clues; nothing is certain yet."

"If you come looking for it, you can choose any of the rare and precious items available today!"

"Alright! With your words of advice, I'm relieved."

……

Two years later.

A bloody battle that lasted 850 years.

The Battle of Beihai.

[Thunderfire Governor Gefel has been promoted to the ninth ring, given the title "Thunderfire Walker," and joined the Blood War Command.]

[Duke Rumon, the Hand of Molten Core, advances to the ninth ring, receiving the title "Molten Core Walker"...]

[Congratulations to the Twilight Palace Master for topping the Level 9 Demon Slayer Ranking with 15 billion points, becoming the record holder for demon hunters below the ninth ring!]

……

Li Wei shut down the "Blood War Daily".

The top two on the list were promoted to Grand Wizards.

Ms. Jasmine, who is ranked third, has also had her points stagnant at 140 billion for a long time.

After sixteen years of demon hunting, Li Wei's points have increased by another 25 billion.

With this shift in power, Li Wei effortlessly regained the top spot on the list.

"So this is what it means to win without effort..."

Li Wei couldn't help but smile.

"Master, look at me!"

Lyon flew over carrying a giant cake, ten meters in diameter, made up of countless demon souls.

"This is?"

"Master, this is your birthday present. Please have a bite."

"...Thanks, you can eat it yourself."

"Okay, I haven't eaten anything for a minute now."

Leon burrowed into the cake like the little mouse "Jerry".

In the blink of an eye, it was gnawed into cheese.

For it, the biggest change after being promoted to level eight is undoubtedly its appetite.

With Li Wei's incredible speed in hunting demons, it was barely enough to fill its stomach.

He couldn't imagine what would happen if Lyon had a different owner.

How hungry must this little guy be?

Li Wei opened the Level 9 Demon Slayer Ranking.

The Thunder of Annihilation ranks 10th; the Wind Witch ranks 19th.

The Sword of Light is ranked 23rd, and the Hand of Fire is ranked 26th.

Looking around, all I saw were familiar faces.

On the Level 8 Demon Slayer Ranking, it felt just like being back home.

The three Gondorians, Elena and others need no introduction.

Even the rising star, the Fire Dragon Knight, made it to 18th place.

Keep in mind that he was only at the mid-stage of the seventh level of cultivation.

However, the number of level 7 late-stage demons who died under the sword of the Fire Dragon Knight was already close to one in a palm.

The Blood Knight, despite his age, fought his way up to 40th place with his mid-level rank of 7.

The Black Knight, the Holy Ape Knight, and the Golden Lion Knight are also on the list, showing steady progress.

Although their cultivation levels were not high, each of them had an outstanding combat record.

The advantages of the mythical breathing method are beginning to become apparent.

With their innate talents and mature combat skills, each of them has the potential to become a supernova.

What's lacking is simply the accumulation of time.

Add all the organizations together.

Of the top 200 on the Level 8 Demon Slayer Ranking, nearly 5% come from the tiny land of the Ancient Dragon Continent.

The extent of its exaggeration is self-evident.

In recent years, the Ancient Dragon Continent has become a typical example of a small but elite organization.

High-ranking and top-level organizations have been coming to visit and learn from us in an endless stream.

Li Wei also warmly received them, demonstrating his magnanimous demeanor.

The only group that was "politely declined" was the Lightney family.

That old bastard Golden Walker still has the nerve to send people to investigate? He's shameless.

During that time, the Golden Walker's malice made Li Wei secretly happy for quite a while.

He could imagine the old man wanting to mess with him, yet being helpless about it.

Now, he is truly no longer afraid of this person.

The Golden Walker was also someone who barely broke through to the ninth ring when he was close to his limit.

His remaining lifespan is only about two thousand years.

His potential has been exhausted.

Without a major stroke of luck, one can only reach the ninth level of seniority in this lifetime.

Even achieving a perfect nine-ring finish is very difficult.

Not to mention advancing to legendary status, that's absolutely impossible.

After his battle with Yan Wanglong, Li Wei had a clear understanding of his own strength.

He might not be able to defeat an ordinary ninth-ring wizard.

But the other party definitely can't take me down either.

It's a 50/50 chance!

Li Wei didn't have much killing intent towards the Golden Walker.

With the overall situation of the bloody battle at hand, he would not turn his spear against his own people unless absolutely necessary.

Of course, this is on the premise that the other party knows when to advance and retreat, and understands right from wrong.

Li Wei closed the leaderboard and opened the Bloodbath Shop.

He has now accumulated over 70 billion in military achievements.

He still has one non-random Sun Artifact slot left unused.

There should still be several billion left, which can be used to purchase cultivation materials such as bloodline crystals and sacred medicines.

At his current level, most of the resources in the Bloodbath Shop are beneath his notice.

But today, his eyes lit up.

[Crystal of the Bloodline of a Demonic Armored Dragon, Level 9 material, worth 25 billion Taishi.]

"Finally, some good stuff has arrived!"

Li Wei muttered to himself and immediately chose to redeem the item.

Hesitating for even a second is disrespectful to the crystallization of bloodline.

He waited for hundreds of years and finally discovered something good besides the Sun God artifact.

Actually, some rare level-nine bloodline crystals had occasionally appeared before. Unfortunately, he was in seclusion at the time and didn't have enough battle merits, so he missed them. After all, bloodline crystals are also an important material for refining potions.

After that incident, Li Wei made up his mind.

In any case, he can always keep billions of battle merits on hand for emergencies.

【Armor Dragon】, a pure-blooded dragon race with impeccable lineage.

Among legendary-level creatures, its defensive capabilities are unparalleled.

Its scales have been specialized into thick, heavy armor.

Its defenses are so strong that even ordinary ninth-ring spells cannot break through them.

Li Wei wanted to advance his Golden Dragon Breathing Technique, and this was the perfect material.

Of course, one legendary bloodline crystal is not enough.

He estimated that he would need to prepare more than four, or even prepare mythical-level bloodline crystals directly.

Regardless, buying this is definitely worthwhile.

After placing the order, Li Wei rushed to the Blood Battle Temple.

"Hello, I would like to exchange for Armored Dragon Bloodline Crystals."

"So it's Lord Li Wei. I was wondering why it was sold out as soon as it was put on the shelves," said Lord Yan Wang with a smile.

"Senior Rock King, was this bloodline crystal recently acquired?"

"Yes, the council recently organized a military operation at the level of a great wizard, and hunted down three level nine demons in one go. This dragon was the mount of one of them, and its name is [Blood Armor Odessa]... By the way, this bloodline crystal is deeply demonized. If you want to use it, remember to purify it thoroughly, otherwise it will seriously affect your mind. Going into a demonic state would be the least of your worries, and it would be a great loss."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior!"

The staff handed Li Wei a black box.

It is sealed with a restriction to prevent the demonic energy from leaking out.

The demonic energy of the level nine dragon is so dense that it can affect the entire Ancient Dragon Continent.

Without human intervention, it would be difficult to remove even after thousands of years.

The Dragon Ruins Mystery Realm is an example.

Having temporarily ended his demon-hunting campaign, Li Wei returned to the Ancient Dragon Continent.

"Someone, bring me the finest purifying potion, enough for the entire pool."

The purification potion has been passed down through generations of wizarding civilizations.

It has evolved to the eighth generation, and its effect is nearly ten times that of the original.

Cherry tomatoes are grown in the New World, the Secret Realm, the Inner World of the Treasure, and even the Demiplane.

Its uses are not limited to medicine; it is also a fruit enjoyed by many people during their leisure time in spiritual practice.
