Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 610 The Dragon King's Three Treasures Descend! (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month)

Four years later.

Nora calendar year 2270, Blood War year 2158.

The Seventh Pillar of Hell, the Death Knight, suddenly appeared in the abyss. Alone and on horseback, he charged into the 300th floor of Hell with the supreme treasure, the Overlord, amidst the siege of countless abyssal demons. He slew nine level-nine demons and severely injured the 187th floor lord of the abyss, the Illusionary Heart Demon King, before taking his own life.

The immortal flame vanished into ashes, and the soul returned to the heavens.

The Supreme Treasure Overlord soared into the sky and vanished without a trace.

In the realm of hell, billions of the dead weep in unison.

They were seeing off the first immortal being of this world.

same year.

Ancient Dragon Continent.

"Wow, wow, wow!"

With the sound of a baby crying, the Black Knight's fourth child was born. Of the Black Knight's first three children, two had already become capable of handling things on their own through the trials of blood and fire, and their cultivation had exceeded level six. The other child had sacrificed himself on the battlefield.

"What a handsome boy!"

The lady soothed the crying baby, her heart filled with joy.

"Like me, with regular features, thick eyebrows, and big eyes."

"Come on, it hasn't fully grown yet."

The ancient soul from hell, having lived for countless years, sensed this short-lived body brimming with vitality, potential, and an upward-striving spirit, and couldn't help but sigh:

"So this is what it feels like to be human."

In the years that followed, the Black Knight family produced a young man with extraordinary combat skills, named [Purgatory Knight Ainz].

He specialized in knighthood, possessed exceptional intelligence, and quickly distinguished himself in the star-studded Ancient Dragon Continent, gaining the organization's attention.

The former King of the Undead has been reborn!

In this land known as the Ancient Dragon Continent, newborn prodigies and reincarnated antiques spring up like mushrooms after rain.

This is a place of miracles that Nora has never seen in millions of years, a "Whampoa Military Academy" that has given birth to countless talents, where a hundred flowers bloom, a thousand peaks compete in beauty, and ten thousand races vie for glory!

This is the center of a great era, a key point in the annals of history.

……

In the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed.

Nora calendar year 2300, Blood War year 2188.

To better develop the Nora Knights' cause and manage the ever-expanding knight community, the Twilight Council, under the leadership of the Nora High Council, was established.

The leader of the Twilight Council is the Twilight Temple Master, who is currently a lone figurehead. Knights who reach level nine can become [Holy Councilors] of the Council.

Level 10 grants the holder the title of "Star Councilor," a rank comparable to the highest seat in the council.

Drawing inspiration from legendary wizards, Star Knights also possess corresponding titles and honorifics, making them easier for the public to remember and understand, thus exerting the power of role models.

For example, Livy, the Lord of Twilight Palace.

His knightly title is "Extreme Knight," his knightly motto is "A longsword that cuts through the darkness, a dragon rider at the end of the long road," and his knightly star is "Riding the Six Dragons." Any other knights born in the future will also be named in this format.

……

same year.

Ancient Dragon Continent.

As the immense ninth-level calamity descended, a towering figure, like a giant, stepped forward, sword on his back, resolute and unwavering, like Kuafu chasing the sun!

Twelve towering mechs, each a thousand feet tall, were arranged clockwise, exuding an aura of level eight and creating a giant barrier spanning thousands of miles.

This is a creation of the new era of the Mechanical School, named the "Twelve Hour Guardian Warriors". Each of them has the power of a late-stage level eight, and together they can kill a level nine warrior.

The Guardian Warriors are widely used in many fields such as tribulation, guarding organizational bases, and frontline battlefields, and orders from all over Nora are pouring in.

boom!

The Fire Dragon Knight cleaved through the bronze gate with his sword and arrived at the Destruction Heavenly Realm. As far as the eye could see, strange phenomena of power danced like dragons and phoenixes, like a divine realm.

On the throne, a figure had been waiting for a long time.

The Fire Dragon Knight, using his last ounce of strength, slew the Blood Lords who stood in his way one by one. He stood before the throne, panting heavily, and said:

"Commander, I haven't failed you! I've reached level nine!"

He had barely finished speaking when he collapsed from exhaustion.

The ninth-level calamity, coupled with the calamity of the supreme bloodline, intensified the already overwhelming Fire Dragon Knight, who was a supernova.

Li Wei nodded slightly.

"Not bad, I almost gave you special treatment."

With a wave of his hand, Li Wei caused powerful force images to appear in the void. These images did not belong to him, but to the fire dragon knights before him.

"Every level nine knight is a brick in the Six Holy Heavens, and I am the architect of the Six Holy Heavens. The more level nine knights there are, the more stable the Six Holy Heavens will be, and the stronger I will become."

Li Wei carefully sensed it, and his power had indeed increased slightly. As the progenitor of knights, he could share the power of all knights' bloodlines in the world.

He is not fighting alone!

Not long after.

The Twilight Council announced that, apart from Twilight Speaker Levi, the first level nine knight has been born, namely the [Fire Dragon Knight], and the [Saint Councilor No. 001].

The Fire Dragon Knight possesses the supreme bloodline of the Great Sun Dragon. He is the head of the Fire Dragon Clan, the leader of the Fire Dragon Apostle Group, and the father of two supernovas and many geniuses.

Thus, the Twilight Temple entered a new phase.

……

Star Palace.

A dimension that is difficult to describe.

More than thirty colossal beasts, each exuding a level-ten aura and possessing different shapes and sizes like stars, floated in the sea of ​​stars, seemingly whispering secrets.

Aries, Jade Rabbit, Blind Boar, Pegasus, Spirit Rat, Dark Monkey, Hound... If Li Wei were here, he would find that these are all Star Beasts of Runeword.

The blind pig's path with its eyes closed:

"As expected, continuing life through bloodlines is the right choice. Even at our peak, there were not so many individuals with such high potential."

Through countless cycles of separation and reunion, the bloodline absorbs cosmic resources and proliferates, its total amount increasing in a snowballing fashion.

If those with supreme bloodlines in the Twilight Temple truly grow up, the number of Level 11 beings born will far surpass that of the Star God Era.

The Pegasus Road with its head held high:

"Once we avenge ourselves and crush the Star Realm, we can end this long and tedious life of hiding in the east and west, and merge into the sea of ​​stars through our bloodline."

The cunning little mouse said:

"More and more resistance forces are like sparks, gradually igniting in the darkness, and one day they will spread like wildfire."

The Star God is immortal, and his bloodline lives on forever!

……

Six months later.

Ancient Banyan Tree Wonderland.

Above the Summer Flower Tower, three distinct clouds converged: a fiery red cloud, a white cloud filled with wind and thunder, and a golden cloud radiating brilliant light.

Li Wei frowned slightly. He hadn't expected that his child would face such a terrifying calamity before even being born. This dark place was truly merciless.

He decided that if the children couldn't get through, he would use his authority to give them a back door; he couldn't just sit idly by.

Elena's delivery went smoothly. The three babies, each weighing over 10,000 pounds and slightly larger than average, were born crying loudly.

The higher the level of a physical cultivator, the higher the density.

If Li Wei didn't deliberately hold back his power and unleash his true form, he could shatter a small to medium-sized world with just one step.

Reaching for the stars and grasping the moon—that's no exaggeration.

The same was true for these three babies.

Newborn babies are hardly considered pretty; they're all wrinkled and look pretty much the same, except for the three sparse tufts of hair on their heads that distinguish them.

The first one to appear was the eldest, with blond hair and a shimmering light gold hue; the second was red-haired, and the third sister was white-haired... It was like a collection of anime characters' hair colors.

The three siblings possess three distinct bloodlines: the blood of the Golden Emperor Dragon, the Crimson Emperor Dragon, and the White Emperor Dragon, which Li Wei is most familiar with.

"It seems that, apart from me, no one else can simultaneously accommodate bloodlines from different dimensions... Is it because of the proficiency panel?"

"Furthermore, none of Elena's Candle Dragon bloodline has been inherited by any of her offspring. They must have been killed by my stronger bloodline during the gestation process."

Rumble!

The sky was filled with raging clouds that crashed down on the three siblings. Elena instinctively tried to protect the children, but Levi pulled her aside.

"It's okay, you won't die."

"They were just born! Are they really okay?"

Have you ever seen a human baby weighing 10,000 pounds at birth?

"..."

Elena was persuaded, and she leaned on Levi's shoulder.

"They really are three little monsters."

But then they saw the blood vessels in the three siblings' bodies circulate on their own, and their bodies began to be covered with new, translucent red, gold, and white dragon scales.

Moreover, their natural breathing can exhale flames, golden light, wind, and thunder to form a barrier that surrounds them, as if divine children have descended.

The calamity, powerful enough to annihilate a Yuanhun Wizard, dissipated automatically after half an hour, and the three siblings remained asleep in the void throughout.

They possessed the terrifying bloodline power from their father, but they were too young and had not yet developed to use it.

But in terms of the essence of life, they are no longer mortals. The aura they unconsciously exude is comparable to that of a level seven powerhouse.

Yes, Li Wei's son, born with a level seven talent!

Even among pure-blooded dragons, most are born at level five, with a few exceptionally powerful ones born at level six... Li Wei had never heard of anyone born at level seven.

This is more than just winning at the starting line.

This means being born at an end point that most people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

After all that, it turns out the damn Celestial Dragon was actually me?

That's fine.

Seeing that the three siblings were alright, Elena quickly picked them up.

"Have you decided on a name yet?"

"The eldest is called Weiss, the second is called Pace, and the youngest is called Liz."

"Does it have any special meaning?"

"No, simplicity is the best, and ordinary names are easier to raise."

"That's true."

Li Wei then tested the talents of the three siblings.

The eldest is the son of the earth element; the second is the son of the fire element with the special talent [Scepter of Flame]; and the third is the son of the wind element with the special talent [Heart of Thunder].

Having three children in one pregnancy, all of them being children of the elements, even the offspring of two legendary wizards would hardly reach the required quality.

With such exceptional talent, it's only natural that they shouldn't waste it. Especially since their wizarding abilities and knightly bloodline complement each other perfectly!

Li Wei doesn't intend to spoil them, but he certainly won't skimp on the necessary resources. That's only natural. With his strong support, as long as the three siblings work hard enough and don't hold him back, reaching legendary status shouldn't be a problem.

After the birth of the three siblings, Levi and Elena did not plan to have any more children for a while, even though he still had many bloodlines to carry on.

Li Wei personally prepared many tonics for Elena using the finest natural ingredients to help her regulate her body and replenish her blood and energy.

Having been pregnant for a century, Elena's cultivation level increased very slowly. Compared to wizards, the cost of a knight bearing offspring is somewhat high; this is the price of being born powerful.

The three siblings were cared for and raised by their parents in the Ancient Banyan Wonderland. Before they grew up and fully mastered their own power, Li Wei and his wife did not want to reveal the existence of the three siblings. In the eyes of the vicious, the children were Li Wei's weakness.

……

Time flies.

The defeat at the Shadow Battlefield a century ago has kept the Nightmare forces dormant ever since. Nora has enjoyed a brief period of peace, but the shadow of war has never truly dissipated.

After the children were born, Li Xiuwei took on the role of a stay-at-home dad in addition to his regular work, wanting to build a bond with them and also keep the three mischievous kids in check to prevent them from causing trouble.

When he got tired of cultivation, he would wander around the ninth floor of the Dark Ancient Tower, occasionally picking up some rare and precious artifacts and rare materials to take home, hoping to get the [Primordial Relics] for free.

He hasn't touched the nautical lottery yet.

Although he had already accumulated over a hundred level-nine crystal cores.

……

Twelve years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Nora calendar year 2312, Blood War year 2200.

Nora Continent.

Above the Thunder Domain, under the watchful eyes of all, a figure, enveloped in countless bolts of lightning, vanished into the depths of space, only to return after attaining enlightenment.

The thunderous roar echoed through the heavens and earth for a month before finally subsiding.

This person is Thunder Queen Hilul, who has been stationed in the Thunder faction for many years. She and Lady Lunya of Thunder have a mentor-student relationship.

The High Council announced the birth of the 20th legendary wizard.

The Empress of Thousand Thunders, Sirul.

The legendary class is [Thunder Hammer], the demiplane is [Realm of Thunder Silence], and the legendary title is [The King Who Commands Ten Thousand Thunders, the Echoing Echo Under the Nine Heavens].

Today, there are 18 legendary wizards still alive.

Two members each from the Earth Fire, Wind Water, Thunder, Death, and Shadow factions; one member each from the Dream, Life, Metal, and Frost factions; the Wizarding Civilization is at its peak.

With a large number of legendary reincarnations advancing to the ninth-ring senior level and the ninth-ring perfect level, such as Lucy and Duke Rumon, it is only a matter of time before they advance.

The stars have returned to their places, and the legend has been reborn.

Sauron and many other supreme beings followed one after another, passing on their life force across the river of time in a relay, bringing them together in the same era.

Gushing streams converge into rivers, and all rivers flow into the sea. This tide called "the times" will eventually shake the old and decaying behemoth, leaving a magnificent mark!

same year.

The continent of Nararian.

A magnificent blue light spread across the sky, leaving behind a landscape of ice and snow, and the faint silhouette of a blue butterfly with wingspans of thousands of miles could be seen obscuring the sky.

The Emperor of Beasts and the Mother of the Sea both showed great joy.

"The third mythical-level beast tamer has been born."

Within the civilization of Nora, there is also a certain degree of healthy competition. More Level 10s mean greater influence and more resources.

Currently, the original wizard civilization is undoubtedly number one, with legendary wizards occupying one-third of the seats, and there are also powerful figures like the Twilight Temple Lord who dominate multiple planes.

Then came the barbarians and the giants.

Nararian can only rank fourth.

"Snowfall Celestial Butterfly, a mythical creature, born with the power to control the ultimate frost, capable of freezing an entire world in an instant... Congratulations, Snowfall Celestial King."

The black-armored swordsman descended leisurely, a smile on his face.

When Xue Luotianwang saw that it was Li Wei, he looked somewhat apprehensive.

"Greetings, Lord Li Wei."

"Great! I'm very happy to see the Beast Tamers grow and improve."

Li Wei's heartfelt blessings.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Wei left.

Before his departure, the Snowfall Heavenly King insisted on giving Li Wei some level 10 Snowfall Butterfly scale powder, an excellent material for crafting treasures, legendary magical artifacts, and potions.

Li Wei couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it. In return, he gave the scale powder to the Holy Infant so that he could use it for weapon forging in the future.

According to the latest intelligence from Nightmare and Bloodbath Command.

The Abyss and Nightmare seem to have joined forces, and more than 120 level 10 powerhouses are eyeing Nora covetously. This is the most dangerous battle Nora has ever faced.

The slightest misstep could lead to utter ruin.

Looking across multiple dimensions of history, this is the highest level of warfare. Only when behemoths fight each other can such a grand spectacle occur.

If Nora can successfully get through this ordeal.

This will solidify its position as a near-giant in the world.

Of course, Li Wei wasn't too flustered.

After all, the Succubus Queen is one of their own, and the Underworld, as an ally, will also send troops to support Nora. Take this opportunity to severely damage the Abyss and Nightmare.

It can help Nora deplete the manpower of other Megatrons.

The underworld would certainly be more than happy.

Before the war, all Nora could do was to create as many level nine and ten powerhouses as possible to ensure that the top-level combat power did not become a hindrance.

Currently, Nora has 58 level 10 combatants.

The friendly Void Sanctuary has 12 members, bringing the total to 70.

With a few dozen reinforcements from the underworld, it would be enough to deal with the combined forces of both sides.

Not to mention, there's also an all-around killing machine like Li Wei.

……

The Golden Sacred Realm.

Beneath the ancient golden tree, six holy kings are working tirelessly to awaken the golden will.

A golden light flew over, and the Holy King Louluo exclaimed with great joy:

"Good news, Nightmare and Abyss have joined forces and have gathered more than 120 level 10 powerhouses outside Nora, preparing to flatten Nora."

King Prasenajit laughed heartily.

"Very good, very good. Even if Nora has great abilities, she cannot overcome such a calamity. In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are not worth worrying about."

The Holy King of the Spiritual Heart said:

"Is there anything we need to do?"

The sage king Mingxi said:

"Let's wait and see how things develop. Don't get involved rashly and get yourself implicated."

Xuanjia Saint King said:

"Yes, we stand with the Astral Plane."

The ever-silent Heavenly Wisdom Saint King said:

"We can't just sit here doing nothing."

Why?

As the Holy Kings were filled with doubt and confusion, a mighty voice suddenly resounded in their minds: "Because my supreme destiny lies in Nora."

A colossal tree, larger than many worlds and a cosmic wonder, appeared in their minds, its trunk adorned with an aged face.

"Supreme Will!"

"Supreme Will!"

All the holy kings prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing in worship!

The aged face said:

"I am just one step away from the highest level. If I were to cultivate step by step using the existing methods, it might take hundreds of thousands of years to reach that level."

But we don't have that much time. The Astral Plane is under too much pressure in this great calamity and may not be able to protect us. We need to protect ourselves.

I sensed two streams of divine tree power, one large and one small, both in Nora.

The smaller ones are unclear and will be left aside for now. The larger one is clearly the Pandora Mother Tree. It has taken another step forward by taking advantage of the opportunity of the dimensional fusion.

Once I merge with it, I can ascend to the highest realm and become the new Origin Tree. Having cultivated the wasteland on the edge of the universe for so long, I have gradually acquired some knowledge about traveling to other universes, but I lack the supreme power to experiment with it.

"If I remain in this universe, even if I reach the highest realm, I will still be enslaved by the Star Ancestor and unable to be free. It would be better to go to other worlds and seek opportunities."

Louluo Saint King said:

"Supreme Will, shall we leave this universe?"

"Yes."

"But... but the rules of other universes may not apply to us."

"It's better than staying in this hopeless place."

"That's true. If Nora hadn't defeated the Colossus, the world would still be the same as before, stagnant and with its upward mobility blocked."

Even if Nora were to succeed by sheer luck, those wizards wouldn't let us off easily because of our special circumstances.

"So, send a few people to Nora and, taking advantage of this unprecedented melee, bring back the Mother Tree of Pandora."

"clear!"

……

"Father, when can we go to the Nightmare World?"

"That's right, that's right. I've only heard about it from Uncle Dragon, I've never experienced it before. They say it's like playing a game."

"Once I reach level nine, I'm going to the battlefield too."

The three siblings, now 12 years old, chattered away all day long in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, leaving their footprints all over the Three Realms.

Out of respect for their status, the dragons took great care of the three siblings, something they never did for their own children.

Of course, Li Wei didn't want his three siblings to become spoiled brats and annoying "bratty kids," so he disciplined them very strictly.

During her postpartum recovery period, Elena often told her three sons about Li Wei's "glorious deeds" in the past, so that they could take their father as an example and learn to "behave in a righteous way".

As they grew older, the three siblings were able to begin to utilize the level seven power within their bodies, and Li Wei would occasionally arrange for level seven mechanical warriors to spar with them.

The three brothers won decisively.

At this stage, their main courses are still practicing breathing techniques and combat skills, and controlling the power of their blood vessels to avoid accidentally injuring others when they fight without restraint.

As for the path of wizardry, it was also taught by Li Wei. Now, at a young age, he is already a formal wizard, progressing steadily without seeking too much speed.

With the knights supporting them, the three siblings' initial lifespans surpassed those of a Yuanhun Wizard, giving them ample time to hone their spells, conduct research, and enhance their knowledge.

Li Wei hopes they can all become research-oriented talents.

Upon closer reflection, many ordinary people in their past lives were busy striving in big cities, often so that the next generation could have a better starting point.

The three siblings' starting point was so high that it was unique in Nora.

This is the legacy that Li Wei left to them.

……

Eight years later.

Nora calendar year 2320, Blood War year 2208.

The storm is brewing, and in recent years, the Supreme Council has been like an infrastructure construction maniac, building land bridges and pioneering new lands on ever-emerging continents.

Through the efforts of countless people, a steady stream of resources was transformed into giant magic arrays, military facilities, and magical artifacts, continuously strengthening Nora.

Various schools of thought flourished and actively prepared for war.

With the integration of the Beast Tamer civilization, the Spirit Communication School has grown the most rapidly, with as many as six Grand Wizards, having already escaped the bottom ranks and is striving to move up.

The Insect School also produced several great wizards, who rode the alien insects [Golden Knife] that Li Wei brought out from the ancient tower.

Using the knowledge of the Dark Zerg, the Golden Knife has been breeding, cultivating, and optimizing its lineage, and together with other Zerg, has established a Zerg army of considerable size in Nora.

For ease of management, the psychic school and the insect school were merged into the "master school," and anyone who could control other supernatural beings or insects in combat could become a "master."

In the lower and middle levels, the Imperial Guard School is already among the top second-rate schools, but it lacks a legendary combatant capable of standing alone.

If we were to choose the most brilliant school of thought in the new era, the one that helped the Nora civilization the most, and the one that had the most profound impact on the war, it would undoubtedly be the "Mechanical School".

It integrates traditional alchemy schools, absorbs talents from all walks of life, and with the full support of the Council and the Ancient Dragon Continent, has profoundly transformed Nora.

Today, there are more than ten Starcastle construction sites alone, and more than five hundred Starcastles in use throughout Nora, but this is far from enough to meet the needs of the civilization.

The continent with the highest level of mechanization is undoubtedly the Ancient Dragon Continent.

Thanks to the efforts of Hermann's team, the original hundreds of mechanical creations and operating systems, such as "Sky Dome," "Demon-Slaying Shuttle," "Mech Warrior," and "Swarm Scout," are about to be integrated in an unprecedented way.

The code name is: [Mechanical Heavenly Court].

This is a super fortress system composed of hundreds of millions of mechanical constructs, including functions such as reconnaissance, attack, fire suppression, and continental relocation.

If an ordinary level nine expert breaks in, the mechanical creations can automatically complete the one-stop service of cooperating to kill them and looting the spoils without the guardians having to take action.

However, to accomplish all this super networking, the computing power and control brought by the "One in Ten Thousand Machines" realm are no longer sufficient; Hermann needs to advance!

This day.

Above the Mechanical Tower, a phantom white-haired figure, seemingly composed of billions of data points, flew out from the steel body that supported it, soaring infinitely high, embodying the laws of heaven and earth.

The mechanical god he encountered when he was undergoing the sixth level of tribulation reappeared, like a mirage, visible but untouchable.

Herman looked around... Aynia, El, Deep Space Ronin, and other comrades and close friends all cast concerned glances at him.

Li Wei also arrived and asked:

"Tower Master, are you ready?"

Hermann said:

"I am ready. I have sensed the presence of the net of destiny. If I fail this time, the Deep Space Ronin will do my job."

Li Weidao:

"Waiting for your return."

For the mechanical school, Level Nine is a crucial step. The former mechanical sage, Madison, disappeared without a trace after reaching Level Nine, his fate unknown.

Herman speculated that he might be lost in Skynet.

This time, he is going to take that step too.

This kind of unknown is terrifying.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Herman closed his eyes, transformed into a soaring will, and disappeared into the world. Even Levi lost all sense of him.

Hermann was the last person from the era of Livy's Gray Tower.

"It will work..." he said.

……

"Hermann, wake up."

A voice awakened the tower master.

He opened his eyes and saw an incredibly shocking scene: thousands upon thousands of mechanical creations and spaceships with world-destroying power crisscrossing the starry sky.

There were also giant mechanical soldiers, like gods, radiating a power no less than that of deities, whose eyes or palms fired particle cannons that instantly destroyed stars.

His consciousness swept across countless scenes until he arrived in front of a silver-white metal mechanical temple floating in deep space.

The temple is surrounded by satellite fortresses that rival those of large worlds, and atop the temple stands a statue thousands of miles tall.

Hermann was stunned the moment he saw her face.

"The Mechanical Sage Madison?!"
