Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 575 Hiring My Darling to Kill! Another Level 10 Battle! (Seeking Monthly Tickets at the End of the Month)

The continent of Solon.

Inside a mansion.

The golden traveler was sipping his tea and reading the newspaper with great enjoyment when he was suddenly blinded by a holy light. Then he looked up at the sky, his eyes gradually becoming unfocused.

"Mom...Mom."

Boom! A golden flash of light exploded in his mind, startling the golden traveler awake. Still shaken, he gulped down a large mouthful of tea to clear his mind and focus his spirit.

"Article Seven of the Traveler's Guide to the Astral Realm: Do not look directly at a god. A powerful deity like the Virgin Mary, who embodies the divine authority of motherhood, should not be looked at directly. Even the divine power she unconsciously exudes can make a ninth-circle wizard like me lose my senses for a moment."

Fortunately, the wizard cultivates spiritual power, which makes him more resistant to this kind of divine power. If it were another level nine alien race, they might not have been able to wake up.

At another residence.

The Azure Demon, who had only recently reached level nine, kept calling out "Mama" to the maternal figure on the Heavenly Staircase, until its older brother, Azure Ghost, noticed and slapped it hard, shouting, "Look carefully, this isn't our mother!"

Qinggui, being at the mid-stage of level nine, quickly woke up.

Nightmare Command Center.

Li Wei stared at the figure, his gaze solemn.

That invisible divine power had no effect on him whatsoever. If he were stronger, he would have already drawn the Crimson Dragon Iron-Slaying Sword and pierced the woman's chest.

"Show-off!"

Li Wei muttered to himself.

Seemingly sensing Levi's hostility, the Holy Mother did not answer Amon directly, but instead focused her gaze on Levi.

Li Wei did not flinch, but met her gaze, as if he could see right through her star-studded long robe and see her inside and out.

For some reason, Li Wei suddenly thought of Soren. Speaking of the Holy Mother, has this "Tian Boguang" of the witch world ever tasted her?

The Virgin Mary naturally knew Livy.

After a thorough investigation, He also discovered that this kid had actually grown up within the territory of the Church of the Heavenly Father, and often complained to Him why He hadn't nipped him in the bud. Now that Li Wei had become a force to be reckoned with, it would be difficult to touch him.

Of course, today's events have nothing to do with Li Wei.

The Virgin Mary smiled at Amon and said gently, "Sir, I have come today to make a win-win deal with you."

As he spoke, an ancient longsword appeared in his palm, radiating scorching power and a brilliant divine light, distorting the surrounding space. It was clearly an extraordinary object.

The sound of little children could be heard amidst the flashing sword light.

"What's going on?"

"He's broken through! Master has broken through!"

Li Wei smiled.

"Victor is actually the second Qi Master to break through to the eighth level, second only to the Holy Emperor. He truly deserves his innate spiritual talent."

the other side.

In Victor's mind, a wisp of pure, metallic energy condensed, radiating a subtle spirituality as it flew around the wizard's tower.

He opened his mouth and exhaled, and the wisp of metallic energy transformed into a sharp golden serpent sword, roaring into the sky and shattering the void, drawing in the auras that had roamed the world. The sword struck straight for tens of thousands of miles before turning back.

"The three realms of shattering the void are: stepping into the void, crossing the void, and returning to the void. For the White Emperor Sword Sect, these are the shattering formless sword qi, the thousand-mile formless sword qi, and the Zhou Tian formless sword qi... Above that, there should be the [Tai Bai Formless Sword Qi], which the White Emperor's son once touched upon but never reached, and that is comparable to the realm of a ninth-level sword immortal."

A mysterious guiding force came from the darkness. Victor knew that this was the power of the founder of the Qi Sect. He did not resist, and his figure disappeared without a trace.

……

Above the nine heavens.

Seven-Colored Wonderland.

In the vast expanse of the heavens, Victor finally met the founder of the Qi Sect. He was an old bear-man in white robes, sitting cross-legged on a cloud, dozing off.

"Victor has met the Primordial Saint Emperor."

"Please have a seat, Victor."

With a wave of his hand, the Holy Emperor summoned a white cloud.

After Viktor sat down, he asked:

"What instructions did the patriarch give?"

"I have a treasure that I wish to give to you."

"What price must the disciple pay?"

"No price is needed. We are Qi Masters, not wizards... There are no such things in this world that come with a price, hahaha."

With a wave of his hand, the bear-man elder sent a golden stream of light flying out from the Lingyun Hall and landing in his palm—a golden gourd.

"Is this the Qi Sect's Golden Stone Gourd?"

"Yes, there's a treasure inside that I gave you."

"This is a treasure used to suppress the Qi Sect's fortune; this disciple cannot accept it."

"How can an inanimate object suppress destiny? It is I who suppress destiny, not it. I was bored, so I refined the Golden Stone Gourd into a [Quasi-Profound Heaven Spiritual Treasure]... well, you can think of it as a level nine rare treasure. I have refined a total of seven Quasi-Profound Heaven Spiritual Treasures, which I intend to bestow upon the first person in each major sect to step into the eighth level as a reward."

"Thank you for the treasure, Master."

"Go back now. The future of the Golden Stone Qi Sect rests on you, the younger generation. Using this treasure also requires the corresponding Qi Sect treasure control incantation, all of which are in the gourd."

"OK."

Victor put away the gourd, bowed again, and left. He hadn't expected that being given priority in advancing to level eight would have such benefits.

The Primordial Saint Emperor continued to doze off. He then combined the seven gourds with other rare materials to refine them into seven quasi-Mysterious Heavenly Treasures, namely:

The seven treasures—the Cangshan Gauntlets, the Vermilion Bird Sword, the Qingfeng Yaoqin (a type of zither), the Bihai Lingdi (a type of flute), the Bingpo Hanqiang (another type of spear), the Zhanshen Feidao (a type of flying knife), and the Wulei Xuanpao (a type of robe)—were left to the Qi Sect as clan-protecting artifacts. Controlled by the leaders of each sect, if a leader dies, the treasures will naturally return to their respective factions, so there's no need to worry about them being stolen by enemies.

It's called a "quasi-Mystic Heavenly Treasure" because it still has room for growth, as it was refined from the original Seven Treasures Gourd formed by the Mystic Heavenly Spirit Tree, and its spiritual essence remains. However, the possibility of it truly advancing to a Mystic Heavenly Treasure comparable to a supreme treasure in this universe is slim. If one day the Qi Sect can travel to other universes and find a suitable home, there is still hope.

……

Gondor.

Inside the Venus Sword Tower.

Victor held the gourd in his hands and chanted a spell.

[Please let your darling kill someone].

After a long time, there was no response.

"As expected, this [God-Slaying Flying Knife] requires a specific target to be killed before it can be activated. I'll go try it out in the Nightmare World."

In an instant, Victor arrived in the chaotic wilderness outside Black Dragon Territory. After searching for a while, he found a level 5 nightmare creature and locked onto it.

[Please let your darling commit murder]

Whoosh!

A golden light, barely visible to the naked eye, shot out and instantly killed the nightmare creature eight thousand miles away, before returning to the gourd.

Even with Viktor's advanced level of eight rings, he couldn't clearly see what it was; its speed seemed to be much faster than his own secret sword.

"Even a level nine cultivator wouldn't dare to directly confront this strike."

Viktor was overjoyed and was about to leave. Turning around, he realized he had unknowingly found himself in a dead end of a narrow alley. A chilling sense of crisis washed over him, and without hesitation, he exploded, committing suicide and logging off.

Meanwhile, in Black Dragon Territory.

A black-armored swordsman appeared in the void; it was Li Wei.

Around him was a group of demons he had captured alive. Their purpose was to help Livy trigger the [Bloodstained] effect of his Arcana.

He sensed danger through his crimson eyes, and now, seeing the labyrinthine, deep alley, he knew that the Lord of the Alley had arrived.

Within the Black Dragon Territory, figures quickly logged off, leaving only Li Wei sitting alone atop the Blood and Flesh Realm Mountain, his greatsword trembling beside him.

Over the years, following the Golden Emperor Dragon and the Crimson Emperor Dragon, the Black Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique has also reached the mid-stage of level nine, mastering four levels of the Invisible Sacred Domain. The Unyielding Sacred Domain has reached three levels, and in addition, the Undying Sacred Domain and the Hidden Sacred Domain are all at the second level.

His mental strength had unknowingly reached 6 points, and with the 50% boost from the Blood Armor's enhancement, it could potentially reach 9 points. The standard mental strength limit for a nine-ring wizard is 7 points, while the lower limit for a legendary wizard is 10 points.

His main combat nine-ring spells, "Nine Suns Hanging in the Sky," "Myriad Phenomena Thunder," "Long Whale Suppressing the Sea," "Magnetic Giant Soldier," "Giant of Light," and "Disintegration Technique," have all been cultivated to the limit level of the twenty-first rank.

His combat technique, "Extreme Strategy," had already reached its limit, condensing the "Extreme Troops," and he had now reached the pinnacle of skill.

He also possesses the Blood Battle Armor and the Blood Battle Spirit, which has already surpassed the peak of level nine and is infinitely close to level ten.

Since the start of the Blood War, apart from level 10 demons, no level 9 demon has been a match for him. He hasn't encountered a worthy enemy in a long time.

So, today, he has come.

He wanted to test how far he was from truly reaching level ten.

According to intelligence analysis from the Nightmare Command, the Lord of the Dark Alley is only at the early stage of level 10, possibly slightly stronger than Ysuld, but not by much.

In the Nightmare World, he can confidently engage in battles against opponents far stronger than himself, as long as the enemy isn't a terrifying being like the Lost Monarch.

Anyway, since his true form is in Nora, he won't die.

The Lord of the Dark Alley's expression turned cold when he saw the empty Black Dragon Territory and the arrogant black-armored swordsman.

"It seems you already knew I was coming."

"That's right."

Why don't you run?

"You can't kill me, so why are you running away?"

"Alright, you're quite arrogant indeed. Other legendary wizards must be lying in ambush nearby, right? Come out together."

"No, this is a fight between me and you. Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to make Nora mobilize such a large force?"

Ignoring Li Wei's provocation, the handsome young man closed his eyes and sensed the surrounding battlefield. Indeed, Li Wei was the only one there, so it seemed that Nora had not set up an ambush.

"Then I'll meet you, Nora's Supernova King!"

After saying that, it waved its hand, and the black city wall rose from the ground, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, tearing apart the flesh and blood mountain where Li Wei was sitting, and gushing out bright red fluid.

Li Wei drew his longsword, surrounded by an invisible holy domain, and arrived in front of the handsome young man in an instant at the speed of light. He unleashed his full power, and the five layers of the Destruction Holy Domain scorched the Crimson Dragon Iron until it turned red, and the Crimson Dragon Sword Qi burst forth!

cut!

A strike powerful enough to instantly kill a level nine demon was blocked by the beautiful boy's outstretched hand. Its fair skin was torn apart like cowhide, revealing countless tiny alleys that were hollowed out like capillaries throughout its body.

This is the true form of the Lord of the Dark Alley, originating from the instinctive fear of countless living beings towards darkness, the unknown, and hidden corners.

"Good speed and power, no wonder you're so confident."

Those tiny alleyways, like duct tape, were pulled out and wrapped around Li Wei layer by layer, instantly turning him into a rice dumpling.

"Disappear...my friend."

The handsome young man made a grasping motion in the air, and the tangled mess disintegrated, turning into ashes and vanishing with the wind.

puff.

A crimson giant sword materialized in the void and pierced the chest of the handsome young man. A crimson swordsman, identical in form to Li Wei, quietly appeared.

It roared, and an endless sea of ​​blood surged forth, from which countless blood-red evil spirits emerged like locusts, instantly engulfing the handsome young man.

"You're the one who should disappear!"

The six sacred heavens overlapped and converged, their oppressive power overwhelming. Li Wei's sword energy surged forth for thousands of miles, within which a flawless white scale of a chaotic dragon lit up one by one, followed by a thousand kinds of spells that rushed towards them.

Fire Dragon Calamity, Magnetic Giant Soldier, Giant of Light, Reggae...

With 9 points of mental power, even an eighth-ring spell possesses the power of a ninth-ring spell. Furthermore, innate spells and ninth-ring spells surpass the upper limit of ninth-ring spells, approaching the power of a tenth-ring spell!

Rumble!

This strike directly created a deep crater thousands of miles deep in the chaotic wilderness, with cracks spreading in all directions.

With a furious roar, the boundless sea of ​​blood was shattered, countless evil spirits were all reduced to ashes, and the Blood Battle Spirit and the giant sword were also shattered inch by inch.

"You actually possess a priceless treasure?"

The Lord of the Dark Alley had a somber expression, and his body was covered in cracks. His once smooth, jade-like skin was now cracked, making him look ferocious and terrifying.

Heavens have mercy! Even at level ten, it didn't possess a supreme treasure, yet this mere level nine does. Otherwise, the Twilight Palace Master certainly wouldn't have survived that attack. Its nine-ring spells would definitely not have been able to break through its defenses!

"Very good, very good... the treasure is mine now!"

The handsome youth tore off his mask and vanished, revealing a giant, a thousand miles tall, composed of countless alleyways. He clasped his hands together, and the alleyways transformed into long snakes that stretched out, weaving a colossal net that severed the connection between heaven and earth over a radius of 100,000 miles.

Then, at the intersection of each alley, stood a gloomy, handsome young man. Countless gazes fell upon him, piercing through every void.

"You can't escape!"

Like shadow clones, phantoms surrounded Li Wei. The Chaos Dragon used magic to tear everything in front of him apart. Emperor's primordial spirit sword energy swirled around him. Li Wei, wearing the Blood Battle Armor and covered by the Blood Battle Spirit, instantly shattered thousands of phantoms and rushed to the hollow giant's main body. Two sword energies that reached the sky and the earth slashed down!

A streak of white, a streak of blood!

Rumble!

Two lines of blood splattered from the giant's body, and alleyways crumbled one after another. It let out a muffled groan, and then its body disintegrated.

Li Wei's expression turned solemn; he knew he couldn't possibly kill a level ten opponent. A strong sense of danger washed over him, as if a black wall was pushing towards him from all four directions.

The terrifying, invisible pressure caused his bones to shatter and his flesh to turn to mush. Relying on the super regenerative abilities granted by the Azure Emperor Dragon, he was reborn and disintegrated countless times.

Finally, a black rhombus-shaped crystal appeared in the void. The handsome young man grasped it in his hand, and then a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

"They still managed to escape."

Suddenly, a pain came from my chest. It peeled back the skin and revealed that a brick was missing from the wall of one of the blood-red alleyways, as if it had been pried off.

Without a piece of its original flesh and blood, it is incomplete...

"Damn it, they actually broke my true form."

It looked at the empty Black Dragon Territory ahead, waved its hand, and wiped it out completely before leaving.

This is the first time it has been injured since it left the country.

……

Roger Mountain.

Li Wei opened his eyes and was surrounded by the faces of legendary wizards.

The daydreamer asked, "How was it?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "As expected, I lost."

"Is it just the Lord of the Alley who came?"

"I did not sense any other monarchs."

Lord Lanmengxing said, "If I had known this would happen, I should have had Li Wei take us there and kill that Lord of the Dark Alley."

The daydreamer shook his head and said:

"Li Wei's ability is only useful for setting up an ambush the first time. It's a waste to use it to kill a mere early-stage level 10 cultivator... It would be more profitable to use him as bait to kill a late-stage level 10 cultivator in the future."

"That's true."

Even for a colossal world, a level 10 late-stage being is an absolute core, and the death of one consumes hundreds of thousands of years of its foundation.

"Dear seniors, I'll head back now."

After testing his strength, Li Wei returned to the Ancient Dragon Continent.

Now, at full power, he is strong enough to hold his own against an early-stage level 10 opponent for a while, and even manage to injure the opponent without suffering any damage himself, taking away a piece of his original flesh and blood. Compared to when he was forced back by Ysuld in one move last time, he is much stronger.

Firstly, the Bloodbath Armor provides an all-around attribute boost. In particular, the 50% increase in mental strength brings about a dramatic change.

Secondly, there is the Blood Spirit as an auxiliary.

Thirdly, his three main combat breathing techniques—strength, speed, and defense—have already reached the mid-stage of level nine, and the others are close to it as well.

"Once my breathing technique reaches the mid-stage of level nine and my mental strength reaches the perfect ninth ring, I should be able to defeat a level ten early-stage demon. After all, the Blood Battle Armor is mainly designed for hunting demons, and it's not really suitable for fighting Nightmare Lords."

However, defeating a level 10 early-stage enemy might be a bit troublesome. He'll need to prepare properly so that Li Wei can fully unlock the Blood Armor.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Li Wei took out a piece of bloody, fleshy red brick that was still writhing. The hideous face of the handsome young man emerged from its surface, and it roared:

"How dare you steal my flesh and blood! You're truly a newborn calf that doesn't fear a tiger!"

Li Wei chuckled lightly:

"So what? If you're so capable, come and fight me in Nora in your true form."

He believed that the Lord of the Dark Alley could use this piece of flesh to establish a connection between the two realms, and send down his avatar, or even his true form, to kill him.

But it dares not!

So Li Wei used the Crimson Emperor Dragon Flame to burn away the last bit of spirituality on his flesh and blood, turning it into a real red brick.

"Another mythical-grade material in hand, great!"

……

"I'm going to kill that bug!"

Somewhere in the Nightmare World.

The impotent roar of the solitary monarch echoed throughout heaven and earth.

The powerful figures under his command remained silent in fear.

The projection of the Devouring Demon Lord appeared, and he sneered:

"Stop yelling. No one is stopping you. You can go and kill him now... Come with me to see a monarch."

The Lord of the Secluded Alley frowned and asked, "Whom do you want to see?"

"The Lord of the Soul!"
