Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 567 "Bloodline Demon Seed Secret Manual", The Heavens Return, the Third Full-Scale Invasion! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Time flies, and another two years have passed.

Nora calendar year 1537, Blood War year 1425.

The Witch's House.

Inside the tower laboratory, Triss changed out of her research uniform, showered, and then, carrying a handbag, headed to the Pharmacy Society. Not long after, a series of new pharmaceutical products were certified and launched.

However, this time, it's poison! After sixty years of dedicated research into highly toxic substances, her achievements are remarkable and can be summarized as the "Five Poisons."

The Five Poisons Potion can be further divided into four types: Snake Potion, Centipede Potion, Spider Potion, and Toad Potion. The Scorpion Potion is still missing and is currently in the theoretical stage, not yet available.

These potions are all poisons of the sixth ring or higher. Their effects vary; for example, the sixth-ring [Serpent's Potion] has the ability to freeze blood, making it highly effective against vampires and other creatures with strong regenerative abilities. It should be quite effective when used on localized battlefields between wizards and vampires. For the Secret Sword style, the advent of these potions is even more beneficial. Simply applying the poison to the sword blade is enough to easily inflict poison damage on enemies!

Triss breathed a sigh of relief after returning to the Ancient Dragon Continent and earning another royalty fee. The enormous debt she had incurred with Li Wei over the years of frantic earning was almost paid off.

After taking the Millennium Elixir, her lifespan reached five thousand years; she is currently only two thousand five hundred years old. This is the foundation upon which she dedicates herself to research.

Although her cultivation level is only at the eighth-ring senior level, her expertise as a pharmacist is praised by many great wizards in the current pharmacist association.

Now, her son, Ania, is a senior seventh-ring wizard, and even her grandson, El, has already become a sixth-level mechanic. For a mother, life is already complete. Her future goal is to earn more money and battle merits, exchange for another Sun-level artifact, and advance further to reach the eighth ring as soon as possible.

Over the years, with the deepening of interdimensional convergence and the prosperity of the White Dragon Merchant Guild, the acquisition of Truth Treasures has increased significantly beyond the official channels for exchanging battle merits. Triss took this opportunity to complete her Water King sequence. Although it didn't significantly improve her current situation, every little bit helps.

Although her lifespan is long, it's still far less than that of Baihua, who has no pressure whatsoever. Every little improvement in her talent allows her to go further in the future. After refining the Water King sequence, the family of companion spirits has gained another member: the [Dark Giant Shark]. Furthermore, the Sea Emperor sequence is three-fifths complete, and the Water God sequence is three-sevenths complete, still lacking the crucial Sun-level artifact and several Moon-level artifacts.

With her current skill level, advancing to the ninth ring shouldn't be a problem. She just wants to pursue something higher and become a legendary alchemist like the Undying Thousand Mountains.

What you think about during the day, you dream about at night. Once, while sleeping, she even imagined her future legendary title. If she could become legendary, her path would inevitably be inextricably linked to the potion.

Her early "Sea Kingdom Sequence" was still missing the final piece, the Queen's Chess artifact, and there had been no progress over the years. She knew that ninth-ring wizards possessed the ability to seize the power of heaven and earth to create artifacts, but this came at a heavy price. So she was too embarrassed to trouble Li Wei; she couldn't afford to repay the debt she owed for this.

hum!

High in the sky, the void cracked open.

A futuristic silver spaceship descended and slowly came to a stop above the Witch's House. Inside the cockpit, the Rainbow Sword Master piloted the ship. He opened the hatch, allowing the old man in the training cabin behind, who didn't need to worry about anything, to disembark.

Li Wei looked quite well. Two years ago, he had experienced the [Salvation of the Vast Ocean] and traveled to the Flora Realm, where he obtained many things from the Spider King. He had over thirty Truth Treasures alone.

"You're back from your long journey?"

"Yes... By the way, madam, I call this wondrous object from the bright moon 'Purple Heart Poisonous Scorpion.' It should be useful to you. Take it and refine it." As he spoke, Li Wei took out a scorpion-shaped object, its illusory body emitting a purple poisonous mist.

"You weren't created using a heaven-stealing technique, were you?"

"No, I found it on the street."

"Alright then."

Triss put away the [Purple Heart Scorpion], thinking that she had incurred billions of debts again, and if she didn't advance to the ninth ring soon, she would never be able to pay it off.

"By the way, have you collected all the Sea Kingdom sequences, Madam?"

"There's still one thing missing. I plan to try to complete it after I reach the ninth ring."

"Oh, I'll keep an eye on that too."

"Thank you."

Seeing that Triss's two great sequence artifacts were still missing one for so long, Levi's obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in, and he thought he should just get her the complete set as soon as possible.

The [Purple Heart Poisonous Scorpion] was actually created by him. A while ago, a group of scorpion-shaped alien insects broke into the Flora Realm. They were corrupted by the abyss and launched a large-scale invasion. Li Wei took the opportunity to kill the level eight alien insect leader and also took in a large number of his underlings to purify and transform them in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, thus replenishing the alien insect resource pool for the Insect School.

He then consumed billions of gold coins and sacrificed an entire demon army, successfully refining the alien insect leader into this wondrous artifact, the Bright Moon. The price he paid for the Bright Moon artifact was insignificant to Li Wei at this point.

Back at the organization, Li Wei stored the spoils from the Flora Realm in the treasury, keeping only a piece of ancient, black wood—the [Netherwater Poison Wood], a rare tree over 100,000 years old, which he had found in the nest of those scorpion-like insects. He summoned Victor and the Holy Infant, entrusting them with his Eternal Star Abyss.

"Help me refine this rare wood into the wizard's tower."

"OK."

In this way, the pillar wood of the Wizard Tower is even more perfect. At the recent Bloodbath Auction, Elena also spent 20 billion gold to acquire a 200,000-year-old Holy Light attribute wood for herself, which was also refined into the Wizard Tower by Li Wei. Therefore, only a few less common attributes like Dark Wood and Shadow Wood remain.

In addition, he also acquired 13 treasure maps at the auction. Li Wei explored a few of them during his journey and had a pretty good haul.

Returning to the Ancient Banyan Wonderland, the scene was still bustling with activity. The initial outline of the Three Realms Plan had emerged, and Heaven, Earth, and Humanity were gradually separating.

In the blink of an eye, Li Wei arrived at a gateway between the human and the underworld. A gray spatial passage came into view, with wisps of death energy emanating from it.

"There's still one door missing."

Li Wei raised his hand and waved, and various elemental forces intertwined, with precious metal materials and wood flying everywhere, eventually forming an antique-style gatehouse with a plaque that read "Gate of Hell".

On either side of the gate tower, the right side reads "The Separation of Humans and Ghosts," and the left side reads "The Separation of Yin and Yang." Passing through here leads to the Ancient Banyan Tree's Netherworld, a paradise for the dead and undead creatures, a place ordinary people cannot adapt to.

After separating from the human realm, the Ancient Banyan Netherworld expanded even faster, its power emanating from the Netherworld Mother Stone far surpassing that of the previous Breath of Earth. Li Wei now also needs to find a way to help Mana reach level nine as soon as possible, otherwise she won't be able to keep up with the Netherworld's expansion.

The Divine Tree's growth is far too slow. After Mana reached level eight last time, she's only at the mid-stage of level eight now. This was only achieved because Li Wei went on a long journey recently and had Mana refine a medium-sized world that was on the verge of death...

It's fair to say that without external stimulation, even after Li Wei becomes a Legendary, Mana might not have been able to advance even a minor realm. This is the Divine Tree—extreme lifespan, but at the cost of extremely slow growth!

However, Li Wei's strength is rapidly expanding. Once he can directly confront a level ten opponent, he will be able to go to the Golden Holy Realm.

He wants Mana to gradually devour the Golden Tree, replace it, and even go further, to recreate the glorious era of the ancient Tree of Origin!

"Lord, you've arrived."

The three undead musketeers appeared: Little Black, Gri, and Snowflake. They were all at the seventh level of cultivation and were still steadily improving. Although their cultivation was not fast, there were not many obstacles either. Li Wei had once taken them to see the Death Knight, the ancestor of the undead.

This level ten expert provided considerable guidance to the three, stating that these three undead swordsmen possessed extraordinary talent and had the potential to reach level nine in the future. As for level ten… the Death Knight joked that it would be faster for them to reincarnate and find a different way of life.

"How are the preparations for the Ten Courts going?" Li Wei asked.

"That's about it." The three musketeers led Li Wei to the depths of the Netherworld. There, they saw ten colossal stone cities standing majestically, arranged like stars surrounding the moon. At the very center were the important sites: the Stele of the Dead, the Yellow Springs, and the Mother Stone of the Underworld.

"Hmm, not bad, it's the effect I wanted."

Next, the most outstanding among the undead, along with the heroic spirits, will jointly serve as the Ten Lords, responsible for maintaining order in the land and training the undead battle groups.

Back in the human realm, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Grottoes and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands have been designated and defined. Of course, besides these, there are other precious lands. These 108 are the best, including Golden Light Cave, Lesser Cold Mountain, Cloud Dream Marsh, and many more.

Each place is planted with the magical plants that Li Wei painstakingly collected. In addition, each of these places has a dedicated management organization with specific personnel to care for these magical plants.

Besides these, the human realm also possesses two great secret realms: the Ice Sea Snow Kingdom and the Black Swamp Insect Kingdom. In the outer seas lie dragon palaces, sea kingdoms, and demon kingdoms, among others. Alien races and extraordinary creatures live there in an orderly fashion.

The most difficult place to build is undoubtedly the Celestial Realm. Currently, it remains chaotic and empty, requiring time to develop. Imagine the scene when, powerful beings of level six and above from the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm gather here, forming a prosperous spectacle akin to celestial soldiers and generals – that sounds wonderful!

……

Not long after.

In the outer sea of ​​the Ancient Dragon Continent, rolling calamity clouds gathered and earth fires intertwined. A figure merged with a lava giant, and a level nine treasure, [Nine Mountains Connected], appeared above his head. He survived the calamity without any danger and exuded a nine-ring aura!

Lord Gondor, son of the Undying of the Thousand Mountains, Lucien has successfully ascended to the rank of Archmage. The Three Heroes and Livy have all come to congratulate him. Even the rarely seen Medicine God descended in his legendary form to gaze upon his son with satisfaction.

Unfortunately, Lucien wasn't skilled in potions. However, the God of Medicine had already designated Triss and her companions from the Potionology Association as his successors, and didn't insist on the son following in his father's footsteps. As a legendary wizard, he had a broad perspective and knew that no family could last forever; the survival of civilization was paramount.

Thus, the 158th Archmage of the Council of Nora was born. Considering the special nature of Gondor, the Council did not send Lucien to the continent of Sauron to take up a post, but instead allowed him to remain as the city's lord, working with the Three Heroes of Gondor to transform Gondor into a star city, attracting geniuses from all walks of life to gather and exchange ideas.

To celebrate the ninth ring, Lucien held the first Gondor League in Gondor. The league would be divided into different events based on level and age. Lucien aimed to use this as a starting point to gradually build a super competition encompassing all races and professions, providing more stages for geniuses to showcase their talents and fostering healthy competition. The Three Heroes of Gondor also attended as judges.

After the competition concluded successfully, everyone discovered that the number of award winners from the Ancient Dragon Continent far surpassed that of the participants from other top organizations.

This is still without many veteran supernovas, such as the Fire Dragon Knight, who didn't participate... otherwise, the scene would have been even more spectacular. In the later part of Nora's second millennium, the Ancient Dragon Continent had become an organization described by others as "terrifyingly powerful."

……

A month later.

Good news also came from the Beast Park: Melina has also advanced to the seventh ring.

In some ways, the development of the psychic school is similar to that of knights. Both are bound by bloodlines, except that knights are bound by their own bloodlines, while psychic wizards depend on the bloodlines of their summoned beasts. Melina's summoned beast mutated after she obtained the [Twelve-Winged Blackwater Centipede] captured by Levi from the ancient tower. It evolved from a hybrid dragon [Sky Sea Dragon Beast] into a sub-dragon [Centipede Sea Dragon King], showing considerable potential.

At the very least, it's enough for her to advance to the eighth-circle wizard level.

Of course, over the years, Melina has long since stepped down from her position and handed over important and minor matters to the young people trained by the organization.

Currently, the main person in charge of the park has become Newman, Newt's son. He possesses the top talent of the psychic school, "Listening to the Heart of All Things," and his cultivation path has been very smooth. He advanced to the seventh ring before Melina and is now a senior seventh-ring wizard. His summoned beast is the legendary creature "Tunguska the Hydra King."

This is also the only legendary creature not belonging to Levi, and it has long been extinct. Newman's experience in obtaining it is quite interesting. When he was exploring some magical animal distribution maps left to him by his father in his early days, he accidentally discovered a young Hydra King in an ancient ruin in the Endless Sea.

Unlike dragons, this legendary creature's larvae are merely level one, possessing only one snake head. With each level gained, an additional head grows, reaching its complete form after nine heads. Although its initial level is low, the Nine-Headed Sea Serpent King's growth rate is faster than that of a dragon. Therefore, with the catalysis and acceleration of the Spirit Summoning School, it can be used as a summoning beast. It is currently a seven-headed sea serpent.

This makes Newman's combat strength among the top level of seventh-ring wizards. He also achieved a good ranking in the Gondor League some time ago, and fought back and forth with a seventh-ring supernova from a top organization, but ultimately lost narrowly.

As time has passed, although the growth rate of the Giant Beast Paradise cannot compare with that of the Twilight Temple or the Tower of Dawn, it still has more than ten Yuanhun Wizards who serve as the backbone of the Spirit Communication School on the Ancient Dragon Continent, contributing their light and heat.

……

Six months later.

Aurora Star.

Levi came to visit Minernia and learned from Matthew that the girl was pregnant... Levi was overjoyed and marveled at how fast the two were progressing.

Just then, the Grey Eagle Archmage returned to the demiplane on business. When she saw Li Wei, she said, "This Matthew, I really don't know what to say about him... Palace Master, your dragon is pregnant, you're not angry, are you? Hahaha."

Li Wei laughed and said, "Of course I'm overjoyed! The number of pure-blooded dragons is too small. Every one more reduces the chance of them becoming extinct."

Aurora smiled gently, "I heard you set up a dragon palace. Your dragon breeding technology should be better than mine. You should take Naminia back with you... Oh, and Matthew should join us too. He's just doing nothing here."

Li Wei thought to himself, "How could I possibly accept this?" It was as if he had come to abduct the Gray Eagle God's dragon, but he said aloud, "No problem, I will definitely take good care of them. Thank you for your kindness, Madam."

The lady is truly wealthy and generous; she has already taken two pure-blooded dragons from here, not counting the dragon babies in Naminia's belly.

There are still more good people than bad in the world!

And so, Naminia returned to her parents' home, and incidentally brought the Dragon Swordsman back to the Ancient Banyan Wonderland, where they lived happily ever after.

……

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

Nora year 1540.

Along the coastline of the Ancient Banyan Wonderland.

Li Wei sat cross-legged in the void. On the sea, the giant whale Leviathan, hundreds of meters long, floated lazily. It was old, and its once strong body was like a machine with worn-out parts, unable to function.

Only the whale song remained melodious, just like the coastline of the Grey Tower nearly two thousand years ago, giving Li Wei a moment of peace amidst his intense cultivation.

During this time, Leviathan did not practice much. As one of his earliest animal companions, Leviathan deserved a proper farewell.

Before this, it had already lost its wife and many old friends along the way. From an ordinary Basilosaurus to its current state, its life itself is an incredibly legendary whale life.

A month later, on the coastline, Leviathan's aged eyes could no longer hold on. Life was rapidly slipping away, and the scent of death began to permeate the air. Until his heart stopped beating, the story of Leviathan in the annals of history came to an end.

Goodbye, my friend.

Li Wei saw Leviathan's soul fly out, and it was presented with two choices: one was to go to a multiverse for a normal reincarnation, and the other was to be reborn in the Ancient Banyan Wonderland. Leviathan chose the latter without hesitation.

Whether in this life or the next, staying here is enough.

Two years later, Livy also saw Gustav off. From then on, all the most important animal companions in his soul were gone. In the long years to come, this would happen again and again.

……

Nora year 1542.

Ancient Banyan Tree Wonderland.

Li Wei opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei——————

Sword 9: Tier 20 (1/20 million)

……

After decades, the [Ten Thousand Swords Return to One] sequence spell was complete. At Zhou Shenghuang's suggestion, Li Wei slightly adjusted the spell's name, changing it to "Sword One" to "Sword Nine," representing the first to ninth ring spells respectively. This was simpler and clearer, and also sounded better than his previous names.

He arrived in the Nightmare World and activated the "Sword Nine" technique. The clouds behind him turned golden, and the surging power of the golden element surged forth like a vast ocean, transforming into a hundred million deadly swords amidst the chanting of incantations. These swords sometimes coalesced and sometimes dispersed, serving as both a wide-range spell and an extremely powerful single-target attack, making them incredibly formidable.

"Great, great, so cool!" Li Wei couldn't help but boast.

"It is indeed quite cool." Triss, who had just gathered medicine from the Chaotic Wilderness, slung her medicine basket over her shoulder. This medicine basket was a level nine rare treasure called the "Flower Goddess's Basket," a treasure of the Witch's House, and was usually controlled by the current witch.

"Madam, are the Five Poison Sequence Potions complete?"

"Yes, after collecting all the five poisonous artifacts, the projections of the five poisons merged and some changes occurred." Triss said, summoning five streams of water of different colors in an instant, which condensed into a five-colored jar, which was extraordinary.

She smiled sinisterly and said:

"This is the Five Poisons Jar, containing an extremely poisonous substance called the Five Poisons Divine Water. If a non-ninth-ring wizard is poisoned by it, medicine and even gods cannot save him. If it is not for the antidote I have developed, tsk tsk tsk... in less than seven days, he will turn into a puddle of pus, and even his primordial spirit and soul will be fused into it, unable to reincarnate. Tell me, is it poisonous or not?"

Li Wei exclaimed in amazement:

"So poisonous!"

Since Triss began refining the Black Queen Serpent, her style seems to have changed. She used to be a gentle and mature woman, but now she has a cold and aloof Black Widow vibe... Perhaps this is how different powers change a person's personality.

Of course, this isn't a big problem. Just like how the Combustion School and the Thunder School are somewhat volatile, it might have an impact on those at lower levels, but not on those at higher levels. Ultimately, it depends on an individual's willpower, perseverance, and character.

After exchanging pleasantries with the lady, Li Wei returned to the Ancient Banyan Wonderland.

He has now mastered three original ninth-ring spells: "Magnetic Giant Soldier," "Giant of Light," and "Sword Nine." Generally speaking, a seasoned ninth-ring wizard is considered quite good if he has even one signature spell. His achievements have already surpassed the average level.

Next, for the fourth option, after comprehensive analysis, he chose the dream faction.

The conventional elemental schools are already quite well-developed. Li Wei wants to further promote some of the less popular schools. Most importantly, his Nightmare Emperor Dragon is a master of dreams, which will definitely be helpful for creating original spells. As for spatial and temporal spells, these are too difficult and will be studied later.

……

The Dark Land.

In the boundless void, black flames and demonic energy intertwined, and a colossal crimson-scaled serpent, hundreds of miles long, slowly emerged, finally transforming into a stunningly beautiful woman clad in black robes. She was none other than the Serpent Mother, a high-ranking member of the Council of Myriad Races, whose true form was the Nine-Headed Hell Serpent.

Before long, two figures arrived, both exuding the aura of the eighth level, but one of them was somewhat strange. He was burly, clad in heavy black armor, and his aura was somewhat unstable, clearly not practicing any proper cultivation method.

"Reias pays homage to the Serpent Mother!"

On the other side, Raven Feather Demon King Victor laughed and said, "I have not failed you. Reias has advanced to the eighth ring and mastered the Nine-Headed Hell Serpent Body Refining Technique!"

Back then, in order to cultivate offspring for the Serpent Mother, it traversed the entire Middle-earth and selected many people, but due to the meddling of Gandalf and his ilk, in the end only Rhaas was left.

Fortunately, this person is indeed extraordinary and a chosen one, with knightly blood from his ancestors and excellent talent as a body-refining wizard.

Having cultivated to the eighth level of the realm in less than two thousand years, he should be one of the few eight-ring body-refining wizards in the wizarding world.

"Well done, Victor. You can go back now."

The Serpent Mother bestowed a level nine Abyss Core upon the Raven Feather Demon King.

"Thank you, Mother Serpent!"

After receiving his reward, Victor left without paying any attention to Reias.

The snake mother, swaying her graceful, serpentine waist, approached the blushing Reias, took his arm, and said, "I'll take you to an interesting place."

After saying that, it and Reias disappeared into deep space.

When it reappeared, it was already inside a nest.

Here lay 44 translucent snake eggs, like vessels in a wizard's laboratory, filled with a dim, yellowish liquid, each containing a dead corpse. Each egg possessed an aura of level eight.

Reias looked horrified. He discovered that many of the corpses here were like himself, having cultivated the Nine-Headed Hell Serpent Body Refinement Technique in their lifetimes.

The Serpent Mother had now revealed her true form, a hundred-mile-long serpent body, radiating the aura of a mid-stage ninth-level being. She had always wanted to advance further, to reach the level she so desperately desired... the late-stage ninth-level being. However, the potential of the Nine-Headed Hell Serpent's bloodline had been exhausted, making it as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Fortunately, years ago it discovered an ancient method in the abyss, created by an unknown author… the "Bloodline Demon Seed Codex." After thoroughly studying the codex, it used its own bloodline as a seed, implanting it into the bodies of different beings. Some were extraordinary snakes, while others were body-refining wizards practicing its specially modified Nine-Headed Hell Serpent Body Refining Technique. These people were the "Bloodline Demon Seeds." And it was the "Bloodline Demon Lord."

The power that allows the Blood Demon Seed to grow will be absorbed and assimilated by the Demon Lord. When it matures, it will condense into a "Blood Fruit" within its body.

By refining the Blood Fruit into one's body through a special ritual, there is a chance to stimulate further self-transformation and growth of one's bloodline. The better the quality and the greater the quantity of the Blood Fruit, the easier it is to successfully stimulate this transformation. For the Serpent Mother's bloodline to achieve even a slight transformation, she would need at least 45 level-eight Blood Fruits, which has already consumed half of her life's effort.

"It's a pity that level nine blood fruits are almost impossible to create. Otherwise, with 66 level eight blood fruits and 3 level nine blood fruits, I might have been able to stimulate my bloodline and undergo a self-transformation towards a mythical level... Oh well, being able to slightly optimize and improve my bloodline and advance to the late stage of level nine is already quite good. Throughout history, no one in the Nine-Headed Hell Serpent clan has ever reached such a realm. Speaking of which, this 'Bloodline Demon Seed Secret Manual' is truly terrifying. It can actually defy the laws of bloodlines, break the shackles of bloodlines, and stimulate bloodlines to mutate in unknown directions. I wonder who the creator is?"

In a single thought, the Serpent Mother, along with Reias, caused all 45 transparent serpent eggs to burst open simultaneously. The corpses of those creatures dissolved into the yellow liquid, eventually forming blood. From this blood bloomed a bewitching and eerie 81-petaled blood lotus.

Flowers bloomed and faded, and in an instant, heart-shaped blood fruits grew, totaling 45. They trembled, transforming into beams of light that surged into the eerie array within the nest. Ultimately, they coalesced into a miniature crimson nine-headed serpent.

It wore a crown on its head, exuding a royal aura, and in addition to its nine heads, it seemed to have sprouted a small, deformed, and powerless snake head.

"As expected, the blood fruit is of very poor quality; otherwise, it should have been able to manifest as a ten-headed serpent... What a pity." The serpent mother's expression was solemn as she swallowed it whole, then coiled up in her nest and fell into a deep sleep.

"If I succeed, I will be the strongest hydra in history! And if the opportunity arises, reaching level ten in the future is not impossible!"

at the same time.

In an indescribable dimension, an eye that had lain dormant for countless years opened. This eye belonged to a majestic figure, whose face was blurred and difficult to discern. It was naked, with a perfectly sculpted upper body, long hair cascading down its shoulders, and a hideous, bloody hole in its left chest.

As one can see, the shattered, crimson heart beats, with invisible veins extending into the void and dispersing towards the universe. Before it, the void solidifies into profound characters, the contents of which, even for a ninth-level expert, might drive them into indescribable madness. This is a Dharma gate.

The Complete Guide to Bloodline Demon Seeds!

……

Three years later.

Nora year 1545.

A bloody battle that lasted 1433 years.

The vast world.

Mountains, forests, seas, rivers, lakes, plains... On this day, the six top barbarian tribes, along with countless small and medium-sized tribes, all looked up at the sky. A pitch-black vortex with a diameter of about a million miles began to take shape, stirring up the world's winds and clouds.

Thunder roared, and a pair of indifferent, enormous eyes appeared.

"The Eye of Heaven!"

"The will of Heaven has returned!"

"Hahaha, I knew it! How could anything happen to the heavens?"

"Heaven above!"

Countless tribes and totem beasts bowed and worshipped the giant eye with utmost devotion. This was the barbarian's own god, who had protected the barbarian people through countless ages.

It is more merciful and more single-minded than the gods, because it only accepts the beliefs of barbarians, and even answers the prayers of every barbarian, manifesting its power for them.

As long as the heavens live, the barbarians will never perish.

Conversely, the same applies.

Suddenly, a burly figure wielding a steel rod appeared in the sky, laughing loudly. It was Man Gang!

"I shall tread the path to heaven and prove myself the Lord of the Barbarians!"

Then, a thorny path, crackling with lightning, descended from the sky, a path even ordinary level nine experts dared not tread. But Man Gang swept through it with unstoppable force, wielding his iron club, clearing away all obstacles in his path. In the long years he awaited the return of the heavens, he had honed five different weapon types, his skills becoming unparalleled in the world!

It successfully traversed the Heavenly Road and arrived at a magnificent palace in the Nine Heavens, a world that only powerful beings at the Barbarian Lord level could see.

Surrounding the palace, amidst a sea of ​​clouds, dwell terrifying totem spirits. The weakest are all above level six, with many reaching the legendary level nine. There are even six faintly visible mythical totem spirits: a silver giant weasel, a blue giant eagle, a crimson flame dragon… perfectly symbolizing the six top tribes.

These totem spirits were once mythical creatures, the totem worship of the six major tribes. After their deaths, they returned to heaven, but were left behind by the will of the heavens. They continue to live on through the way of faith and have survived to this day, continuing to shine for the barbarian tribes.

As long as the heavens live on, the totems will never perish. They are similar to the companion spirits of the heavens' will, but they lack the growth potential of companion spirits. Their strength is also far less than it was in life, but they are still enough to rival ordinary weak gods in the astral realm. This is also an invisible, hidden power, only it does not manifest itself in the world.

Inside that magnificent palace stood four imposing figures: the Python God, the Weasel God, the Eagle God, and the Turtle God Barbarian Lord. In this era, the Dragon God Tribe was facing a generational gap, and no Barbarian Lord had yet been born.

Congratulations, Mangang!

"Welcome to Ascension!"

Mangang smiled and responded to each question. It looked up at the high throne, where a middle-aged man with a sharp face and incomparably majestic appearance wore a purple imperial robe.

This is how the will of Heaven manifests before the barbarian lord. It occasionally takes this form to travel incognito and check on the situation of the barbarians.

"Mangang, you have made a great contribution this time."

"Lord Barbarian Ancestor, this is only right."

"Yes, I summoned you here to discuss an important matter."

"Please speak, sir."

"The current situation in the bloody war is difficult. Although I don't want to admit it... I cannot guarantee that I can protect the barbarians through this calamity on my own. I have led the barbarians through a long period of time, and this is the most difficult time for me. Therefore, I will cooperate with the Nora Council to merge the Azure Sky World into Nora."

The five barbarian lords all spoke in unison:

"We will always follow the decisions of our superiors."

From humble barbarians to their ancestral ancestors, spanning the ancient, prehistoric, and near-ancient eras, the barbarian race has endured for countless ages. Every barbarian firmly believes that the will of Heaven is always right! Its commands are destiny.

"good!"

The will of Heaven rose, its gaze fixed on the distant, dark land. On the battlefield of the barbarian bloodbath, towering demonic figures began to retreat.

Leading it was a fish-like, octopus-like creature with bat wings on its back, countless wildly flailing tentacles on its face, and an appearance resembling a level ten fish demon of the Great Old Ones. It was:

Monar, the fish demon lord of the 580th floor of the abyss, is the offspring of the Blackwater Demon Emperor, the King of Ten Thousand Waters, and the Water Demon Lord.

Its father was Suk, the Water Demon Lord of the 640th floor of the Abyss. Along with Pazuzu, Sulgard, and Varelid, they were known as the Four Demon Lords of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water.

"With the return of the heavens, the barbarians will be harder to fight. They will definitely integrate into Nora. We also need to consolidate our forces and head to Nora... In addition, my father will also end his slumber and return to the Nora battlefield soon."

The simultaneous appearance of the four Demon Lords signifies that the Abyss is taking this seriously. Individually, however, the strength of these four Demon Lords is insignificant in the Abyss's lower levels, where powerful beings abound.

But once combined, reshaping the earth, fire, wind, and water, it would be enough to sweep away all civilizations except the four giants... including Nora!

……

Nora.

The Supreme Council.

The legendary wizards all sat around a round table, discussing important matters, clearly related to the integration of the barbarians. Not long after, Amon adjourned the meeting, and everyone transformed into streaks of light, heading towards the North Sea.

North Sea.

The figures of legendary wizards descended, just like during the previous fusion of Pandora, except this time a total of eight legendary wizards were dispatched.

Lady Pandora, Lord Blue Dream, and the five barbarian lords were all present, guarding the place together with the legendary wizards to prevent demons from taking the opportunity to launch an attack and hinder the fusion of the two worlds.

As time passed, the once calm sea began to churn without wind, and terrifying giant waves were about to crash against the crystal wall at an infinite height. The Celestial World was several times larger than Pandora, so the commotion caused by their merging was naturally extraordinary.

Legendary wizards displayed their unique abilities, each employing their own unique methods. Wizarding artifacts, legendary spells, demi-planes, and companion spirits... a multitude of techniques emerged, each move displaying a power unimaginable to even the greatest wizards.

In the distance, Li Wei's figure appeared, gazing at the earth-shattering scene before him, his heart filled with awe at the legendary power. He murmured:

"With the fusion of the Azure Sky World, Nora's size will noticeably increase... In the future, the Divine Light Knights and the others will no longer need to travel between the two worlds. Once the land bridge between the Azure Sky Continent and the Ancient Dragon Continent is opened, the trade of giant beasts and bloodline essences will be much smoother."

Rumble!

An endless continent exuding a desolate, ancient aura emerged in the North Sea. It was about half the size of the Nora continent. High in the sky, a giant thunderous eye looked down on the world without any emotion.

hum!

A terrifying demonic aura swept in from afar, and a colossal stone face that blotted out the sky emerged from the void—it was none other than the Demon Lord of the Earth.

Beside her, nearly twenty demon lords appeared, including the Wind Lord, the Lord of Wrath, the Golem King, and the Shadow Queen, unleashing devastating attacks upon Nora, clearly intending to cause trouble. The legendary wizards were busy stabilizing the sea waves, and the number of powerful warriors responsible for guarding the area was clearly insufficient to withstand such a horde of demons.

"So you're the Blazing Sun Wizard, Amon?"

The Earth Demon Lord pressed down on the void, and a towering stone pillar fell from the sky, crashing down towards the Azure Sky Continent. He casually spat out a giant mountain comparable to a small or medium-sized world, which pressed down directly on Amon. If they could take this opportunity to severely injure this Grand Council Chairman, then the demons would have made a huge profit, and Nora would be no threat!

Meanwhile, the other demons swiftly joined the fray. The Golem Lord of the 400th level of the Abyss transformed into a golden colossus a million feet tall, charging towards the Daydreamer. This legendary wizard constantly interfered with their battles with his powerful illusions; he had to be dealt with first.

The Lord of Wrath, wielding a giant axe, unleashed boundless fury like a demon god splitting the heavens and earth, transforming it into tangible axe light, threatening to cleave the Azure Continent in two. The aged Turtle God Barbarian Lord waved his hand, gathering the combined power of heaven, earth, and humanity into a giant shield to block the attack.

Nora trembled and buzzed. The shockwaves from the clash of so many powerful beings nearby were enough to shake the world. Fortunately, Nora was no longer what she used to be; in the past, the earth's crust would have been shattered.

While Nora's strongest warriors were tied down, in the Dark Lands, figures of level nine demons sat cross-legged atop the Demon Mountain. An endless, diverse army of demons surged forth, each legion infiltrated by a portion of stone golems.

The Mountain has shattered the crystal walls of Nora all over the world. Demons, already lurking in various parts of Nora, have sprung up from the sky, the sea, and the craters of volcanoes, joining the frenzy.

On the continent of Nora, across the four seas, in this new land, the wizards and the allied forces of all races, who had been preparing for a long time, poured out of the wizard towers and cities, heading to the battlefield.

In the sky, the escape lights of ninth-ring wizards and level nine powerhouses crisscrossed, intercepting the descending level nine demons through the continental bridge.

The Supreme Council, at the round table.

The Fiery Star God Wizard sat here alone, taking a deep breath, and the image of the Dragon Flame God Wizard standing in the Tower of Babel blocking all demons appeared in his mind.

He closed his eyes, and a phantom of a giant crimson tree appeared behind him. At the top of the tree was a crimson world that looked like a bird's nest. This was his demiplane, the Endless Fire Nest.

Accompanied by clear, crisp phoenix cries, streaks of crimson flame, like fire phoenixes, flew out of the nest, soaring at unimaginable speeds like tracking missiles to intercept those level nine demons around the world.

This is a legendary technique that the Fiery Star God Witch developed based on her own circumstances after inheriting the Dragon Flame Spell. Its name is:

A hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix!

Sorry for being late. I'll correct any typos later.
