Arthur, the Victory King? Levi's heart stirred upon hearing this name. He knew that undead like the Death Knell Knight must have been extraordinary in their previous life. But he didn't expect it to be Arthur. The very same Arthur who forged the Sword of Victory in the Golden Light Cave. This Eighth Ring treasure had helped Levi immensely. Even now, it continued to play a crucial role, constantly nurturing more outstanding Knights for the Twilight Temple. Levi had always believed that if Arthur hadn't fallen, he would have likely reached Tenth Ring and become a figure remembered throughout the ages. He never imagined that even in death, he could re-certify Tenth Ring as an undead. Moreover, not through reincarnation with memories intact. According to the Death Knell Knight, he only discovered his past life as Arthur after reaching Tenth Ring and using his Netherworld authority to investigate. It was ironic that he would encounter Arthur in this way. Levi couldn't help but sigh, marveling at the whims of fate. The Death Knell Knight asked, "Has Your Excellency heard of Arthur's name? I later investigated and found that the Corona Clan had long been lost to the river of time." "Indeed, it's quite a coincidence. The treasure forged by Arthur is currently with me, playing its part," Levi said with a smile. The Death Knell Knight chuckled. "Fate is truly wondrous!" "Would Your Excellency like to reclaim this treasure?" "No, what does Arthur's past life have to do with me? Besides, I have no use for that treasure. It can only shine in the Twilight Temple." "Haha, that's true." After exchanging pleasantries, the Death Knell Knight bid farewell to Levi and left with the White Bone Lady, who didn't forget to smile and say, "Lord Levi, come visit when you have time." "Certainly," Levi replied with a smile. The Demon Fox Master, seeing Levi conversing so amicably with the Death Knell Knight, bowed again and smiled, "I shall return to the ninth floor as well. Lord Levi, you are welcome to visit me when you have time. I will certainly provide excellent hospitality." "Alright." The powerful figures dispersed one by one. Black King City returned to normal. Life had to go on, and the war was not yet over. However, after today's battle, the devils had even more hope for the future. Levi stayed in the city for some time and finally refined the Wind Emperor's Robe, achieving his first success in refining a Sun Flare-level extraordinary item. With some time before the Nether Market, Levi directly refined the extraordinary item. As before, the item entered his body in an instant and disappeared into his mind. Levi felt his mental power increase until it stopped, then placed his hand on the Klein Crystal Ball.
[Mental Power: 58123/74000]
... "As expected, my mental power increased by 1000 points." The lower limit of mental power for a seasoned Ninth Ring is 56,000. Levi had unknowingly exceeded that by more than 2,000 points. He opened the Proficiency Panel. After the Aether Meditation Technique, there was already a whole row of Sun Flare-level talents: Thunder God Body, Light God Body, Dark Body, Shadow Saint Body, Ice Emperor, Azure Emperor, Flame Emperor, Rock Emperor, Wind Emperor, Nether King Body! At the same time, on the fifth floor of the Ninth Layered Holy Tower, a phantom of a hurricane-condensed robe appeared on the stone platform, marking the collection of the fifth extraordinary item. Now, the Element Certificate only lacked the Thunder Emperor's Crown and the Gold Emperor's Palace! In the model of the Wind Dragon Swiftness talent spell, a hurricane bead was held in the mouth of the divine dragon, rotating endlessly, representing the successful modification of this talent spell. Levi came to the spell laboratory in the Nightmare World. In an instant, he transformed into a translucent wind dragon, soaring into the sky, dodging and weaving, strolling leisurely amidst countless attacks. Moreover, wherever he passed, he left behind a crisscrossing network of hurricanes, covering tens of thousands of miles, somewhat similar to the Doomfire Demon Ape's flame network. Levi's speed increased, and he roared forward, countless hurricanes heeding his call. Finally, a towering wind wall, tens of thousands of feet high, formed, with a thickness of a hundred miles and a width of three thousand miles. As Levi advanced, it crushed everything in its path! After testing, the main changes to Wind Dragon Swiftness were threefold: First, the speed increased, as swift as the wind, with evasion stats maxed out. Second, it could leave behind a long-lasting wind network, restricting enemy movement and causing massive damage. Third, and most importantly, the wind wall moved with Levi, like a bulldozer, crushing everything in its path while blocking a massive amount of damage. In this way, only Golden Dragon Break and Myriad Dragons Arise remained unoptimized among the nine major talents. The former could be optimized by refining the Gold Emperor's Palace, while Levi estimated that the latter would require the Element Certificate extraordinary item achievement or his Ascension to Legendary. After Ninth Ring, the power of Myriad Dragons Arise had already become apparent. Instantly creating four Ninth Ring undying Spirit Soldiers completely outclassed all summoning spells currently on the market. If it underwent further transformation, it would undoubtedly become even more terrifying.
The day for the Nether Market to open was fast approaching. On this day, within Black King City, many devils, led by the Demon Fox Matriarch and the Devil Elephant Master, came to bid farewell to Levi and the Purgatory Demon Sword. After saying goodbye to everyone, Levi and his second brother also bid each other farewell.
"Second brother, I already have news of the Slaughter Emperor. Cultivate well and reach the Ninth Ring as soon as possible. When the time comes, I'll take you to the Star Realm and chop that bastard down."
"Thank you, big brother!"
The Purgatory Demon Sword was the type to accumulate power before unleashing it. After hundreds of years of honing in Hell, whether it was his willpower or combat experience, he was already incredibly perfect.
His initial talent was also very high, and now, with the help of Nora's favorable timing and location, his cultivation was truly advancing smoothly.
The Nether River surged, and the Nether Market arrived as scheduled.
The sailboat landed, and the black-armored giant Di Gao sat at the bow, waving to Levi. Beside him stood a golden-haired swordsman, the most handsome person Levi had ever seen. Even he had to admit that he was inferior.
Levi had not met this person before, but he had heard his name from the Earth Saint Lord during the recent war in Hell. He seemed to be the thirteenth Nether Emperor of the Netherworld.
The Netherworld was full of strong individuals, and the Nether Emperors were definitely at the three-digit level. To be ranked thirteenth among this group was certainly extraordinary. Perhaps he was at the same level as the Supreme Council Chairman, Eamon.
That simple and unadorned sword had seriously injured even a Lord of the 653rd floor like the Earth Saint Lord, which was a testament to his strength.
Levi smiled slightly, "Greetings, Nine Deaths Swordsman."
The Nine Deaths Swordsman nodded slightly. He said softly, "Long before you became famous, I had already heard about you from Di Gao. To grow to this point in a thousand years is truly awe-inspiring."
"Senior overpraises me. I've only had some opportunities."
"There are countless people with opportunities, but only one in ten thousand seizes them. Some time ago, the Abyss plotted to ambush the Demon Fox Master, and it was thanks to your intervention that Hell didn't suffer too many losses. This time, I represent the Netherworld to express our gratitude to you."
"Now that the Netherworld and Nora are allies who watch out for and help each other, it is my duty to help Hell. If my Nora compatriots encounter a crisis, I believe the Netherworld comrades will also lend a hand. This is my intention."
"Of course. This Bloody Battle with the Abyss, the factors involved and the Abyss's determination are different from any previous one. Even the Netherworld needs to be careful. We have a long road ahead. In the future, I hope Lord Levi takes good care of himself and reaches tenth level as soon as possible."
"Thank you for the reminder."
"Also, there is one more thing... Because the situation of the Bloody Battle has changed too much, the Netherworld's forces also need to be reorganized and redeployed, and many malicious incidents of demons surrounding and attacking the Nether Market have occurred in various places. From now on, the Nether Market will be temporarily closed during the Bloody Battle. The opening time is to be determined... I know you need the [Soil of the Deceased]. This is a [Netherworld Mother Stone], a mythical-grade material. You can treat it as a higher-level version of the Breathing Earth. It is a natural treasure formed by the erosion of countless Breathing Earth essences in the depths of the Mother River over millions of years. It is also quite precious in the Netherworld, so I will give it to you. I hope you make good use of it, and it will also serve as a reward for you killing demons."
"Understood, thank you for your kindness."
Levi raised his hand, and a pitch-black, wriggling object resembling sand and gravel appeared, emitting an extraordinary aura of death energy. Levi even saw many patterns similar to runes of truth wandering and disappearing on it, as if it contained the ultimate truth of death.
Don't think that the Mother River is very large, in fact, materials such as Breathing Earth and Netherworld Mother Stone are not endless, they are all extremely precious. As far as Levi knows, the [Netherworld Mother Stone] is a valuable material for refining treasures, and the value of this piece is self-evident.
"With this matter concluded, I will also leave. I hope to see you again." The golden-haired swordsman extended his fair and jade-like palm and smiled slightly.
"Farewell."
Levi shook hands with him to say goodbye and watched the sailboat leave.
For him, the Nether Market had become a thing of the past. After the Bloody Battle, with his strength, he no longer needed to participate in the Nether Market. In any case, this journey had been of great help to him.
Therefore, even though he knew that the Netherworld probably regarded Nora as a tool, Levi's attitude towards it was still friendly.
In this dark world, having an emotionally stable and trustworthy ally was already a blessing in disguise. Look at the other forces: the Star Realm, the Nightmare World, the Abyss... none of them were normal.
After returning from Hell, Levi came to the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm. He took out the [Netherworld Mother Stone] and placed it in the Ancient Banyan Netherworld Mansion. He couldn't think of any other uses for this thing for the time being, so he might as well use it here to cultivate Breathing Earth and nurture the ecosystem of the Undead Graveyard.
As the Mother Stone was planted, the companion spirits, Yellow Springs and Finks, immediately conveyed waves of surprise and joy. As a stone nurtured by the supreme Mother River, the slightest aura it emitted was enough to benefit these death-faction spirits greatly.
Moreover, the Netherworld Mother Stone itself contained some vitality. Levi always felt that if enough time passed, it might even be possible to nurture a Nether Emperor.
Of course, he didn't have the time to wait for its birth. So if he had the chance, it would be better to refine it into a treasure.
During this time, he consulted materials and discovered that the [Netherworld Mother Stone] had another function that was particularly useful to him. That was, it could allow the cycle of life and death in a small to medium-sized world to form a self-contained ecosystem.
For example, if it was placed in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, then if a living being in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm were to fall, its soul could choose to reincarnate either randomly in the Multiverse as usual, or to be reborn in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm. Either way, it would be a normal reincarnation, not the kind of rebirth with memories and re-cultivation.
Therefore, if Leviathan were to die of old age, it could also be reborn in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm. If the time was right, it might even be reborn with a true Dragon Spawn, or even a pure-blooded Dragon Race identity. In short, the selectable races for self-circulating reincarnation depended on what existed in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm's current ecosystem.
Overall, the benefits of reincarnating in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm were greater than those of random reincarnation in the Multiverse. Its upper limit might not be as high as in the Multiverse, but its lower limit was definitely higher than the latter. After all, the majority of the Multiverse was made up of small and medium-sized worlds and various weak, non-extraordinary races. Choosing a good race was as difficult as winning the lottery.
Moreover, as the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm continued to Ascend, and with Levi's deliberate collection, the number of high-level races living here would inevitably increase, and its upper limit would continue to rise, not remain unchanged.
Rumble! Between heaven and earth, a storm of death energy took shape, centered on the Undead Graveyard, and spread in all directions. The range of the Ancient Banyan Netherworld Mansion expanded visibly, eventually stopping at around ten thousand miles, becoming a small world of death.
After many transformations, the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm was now the size of an ordinary medium-sized world. The Netherworld Mansion was like a giant black spot on the earth, particularly conspicuous.
If only I could create a Three Realms system like in my previous life, where they circulate with each other and seem to not interfere with each other. This is not aesthetically pleasing enough.
Levi, like a designer, murmured to himself as he gazed at the land below.
The lack of aesthetics was only one aspect; the number of extraordinary creatures and races living in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm was increasing, creating a mixed bag. Different races also had vastly different living environments. For example, the deathly aura of the Ancient Banyan Netherworld Mansion was harmful to many extraordinary creatures. Relying solely on Magic Arrays for isolation was not a long-term solution.
He hadn't managed the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm much all along, and now he needed to go back and properly transform it.
With this in mind, he summoned Mana, who was currently playing mahjong.
"What is it? Hall Master."
"...Let's talk business, no jokes. As the master of this world, can you reshape its form?"
"Naturally, I can. However, if the changes are too drastic, it will take enough time to transform, otherwise it will easily affect the existing ecology."
"I want to change the existing structure and transform the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm into a parallel ecological community of the Three Realms, which can be divided into the realms of Sky, Earth, and Humanity.
Those above Sixth Ring usually live in the Sky Realm, those below Sixth Ring all live in the Human Realm, and the Earth Realm is the dwelling place of the undead in the Ancient Banyan Netherworld Mansion. The Three Realms of Sky, Earth, and Humanity all have corresponding connecting channels to facilitate those in need to travel back and forth.
Of course, it is also necessary to set some necessary binding rules to prevent damage to the ecological system of the Three Realms. For example, people from the Sky Realm must not spar or fight in the Human Realm. The same goes for the Earth Realm.
In addition, in order to encourage those in the Human Realm to work hard and cultivate, some necessary 'Ascension Rewards' can be given to those who ascend to the Sky Realm.
If one can become famous in the Three Realms and shake one side, one can also become a Heroic Spirit and reside in the Netherworld Mansion to take up some positions and manage the order of the Three Realms.
..."
Levi put forward many ideas, and Mana listened quietly. After Levi finished speaking, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she said with a smile, "It feels like a very interesting plan."
"Yes, let's start acting."
"Alright, let's get the design blueprints out first."
Mana was very excited, finally not needing to play mahjong to pass the time. She quickly went to call Blood Vortex Venerable, Martha, and other high-level Secret Realm members to discuss important matters. The Immortal Realm transformation plan code-named Three Realms began to be prepared in full swing.
A month later, on the eve of the opening of the Dark Ancient Tower.
Levi was cultivating by the Small Stone Pond, and a green light landed on the ground, it was Mana. Generally speaking, the area within a hundred miles of the Small Stone Pond is off-limits to idlers, and only a few people like Mana have such authority to enter at will.
"The design is ready."
"Let me see."
Levi took over a model transparent crystal that was oval like a chicken egg. It was divided into three layers, with a verdant giant pillar running through the Three Realms in the center, which was Mana.
"The barriers of the Three Realms of Sky, Earth, and Humanity require a large number of Starfall Remains to build artificial crystal walls. This can divide them while not affecting the normal operation of the Immortal Realm itself. In addition, building the South Heaven Gate spatial channel leading to the Sky Realm and the Gate of the Underworld spatial channel leading to the Netherworld Mansion also requires this." Mana explained.
"No problem, I'll solve it."
With the prosperity of the White Dragon Commerce Circle today, as long as there is money and resources, Starfall Remains are not a problem. Even the frequency of Star Spirit Heart's appearance is much higher than before, and some alien powerhouses who have been wandering the Multiverse for a long time have this thing in their hands.
"In the center of the Sky Realm, I plan to set up a group of floating islands for the residents of the Sky Realm to settle down. The most core island is the location of the Sky Realm's management center, the Heavenly Palace, which maintains the orderly operation of the Sky Realm and is mainly composed of the Heavenly Dragon Generals of the Eight Divisions of the Dragon Race.
Fighting is prohibited on the island, but outside the island's void, you can practice martial arts, spar, and compete to avoid everyone's combat skills from deteriorating. Of course, if the realm is too high, you can only go to the Nightmare World for training.
The Human Realm is the main body of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, retaining the existing structure. Except for the Sixth Ring powerhouses who guard the natural treasures in the blessed lands, the rest will go to the Sky Realm. A branch of the Dragon Palace is also set up in the Human Realm to maintain the order of the mixed-blood Dragon Race. At the same time, separate countries are also established for other extraordinary creatures and alien races to facilitate their lives.
The entire Ancient Banyan Netherworld Mansion will be moved into the Earth Realm. At a fixed time of year, the Gate of the Underworld and the South Heaven Gate will be opened to hold the Three Realms Martial Arts Competition to promote everyone's communication and competition. Corresponding rewards will be given to those who perform well in the martial arts competition.
Hall Master, what do you think? Basically, it's all according to your file instructions, hee hee hee." Mana looked proud.
"Not bad, this is exactly the Three Realms ecological system I want. Let's start transforming according to this plan." Levi said.
"Understood! Let's do it!"
Mana returned to the Ancient Banyan Tree, and the loudspeaker began to broadcast and arrange things throughout the Immortal Realm. For a time, the atmosphere in various parts of the Immortal Realm was mobilized.
Everyone will be busy in the coming time. According to Mana's plan, the project will be completed within a hundred years.
Dark Ancient Tower.
Fifth floor, Kane's Land.
Revisiting the old place, what you see is that Wizard Towers stand in the wilderness and mountains, and various Wizard schools develop. After taking the essence and discarding the dross, the Kane Mage system has basically been integrated into the Wizard system to facilitate inheritance and teaching.
Kane Academy, the largest Wizard organization in Ai Ou Continent, has more than a dozen schools such as Earth-Fire Wind-Water, each guarded by a Law King or Primal Soul Wizard. Some prosperous schools even have multiple Law Kings.
Body refinement, spells, potions, magic arrays, item crafting, and even the creation of exotic treasures all have corresponding inheritances. Even card creation has begun to develop on a small scale. The reason it can't grow quickly is twofold: first, the Dark Ancient Tower isolates the area, making the power of the Myriad Forms Magic Card inferior to that outside; second, Levi's own strength is insufficient to support too many people.
Once he becomes a Legend, possessing power comparable to the gods, it will be enough for more people to use, solidifying the Fourth Art completely.
In addition, over the years, he has also taken the time to upgrade and iterate on the cards, optimizing their casting efficiency and further reducing costs.
Unknowingly, under Levi's governance, Kane's strength has surpassed that of the Supreme Law God in his prime. The strength of the human race is unprecedentedly prosperous. The Black Beast tribes that once ran rampant are now firmly suppressed by the human race, and even targeted no-fishing zones have been established to give them opportunities to reproduce and grow.
The Northern Barbarian Race and the Southern Demon Race are also developing well. Their main role is to temper the humans of Kane. Historical experience tells Levi that humans can't have everything go too smoothly.
In the end, he left the fifth floor with 13 promising individuals, including 2 Children of Element, and went directly to the seventh floor.
Time flies, and now it is the Apocalypse 1000 node for the human race in the Land of Runes on Saint Roland Continent. A thousand years have allowed the Gray White Academy to grow into the most powerful organization on the seventh floor. Its leader, the Flame Wolf Saint, is now in the mid-Eighth Ring realm and is steadily improving. His potential holds hope for the Ninth Ring. Another Eighth Ring Saint is from the Earth School and was also born in this century.
The Flame Wolf Saint asked Levi about the Water Dragon Saint who had been taken outside the realm. Levi reluctantly told him that the Water Dragon Saint had failed to advance to the Eighth Ring for the second time and is now working as a professor at the academy, living out his twilight years, which made the Flame Wolf sigh.
Over the years, the number of Sixth Ring Saints or Primal Soul Wizards in the Land of Runes has reached 42, and there are 9 Seventh Ring powerhouses. This would be a top-tier organization even in Nora.
The health cultivation methods and boxing techniques passed down by Levi have now spread to every household. The best of these people will be selected as Knight candidates, who can accept the now more mature bloodline transplantation and transformation, truly embarking on the path of the Knight! The Mountains and Seas Beast Garden also has good harvests. Some extraordinary creatures and Dragon Race members that were not found in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm were also found and taken away by Levi.
As for the Three Realms and Four Lands, Levi routinely took away a batch of good alien seedlings to cultivate. This can both enrich the gene pool of the Ancient Dragon Continent and slightly curb the growth of these alien races. After harvesting the first eight floors, he came to the ninth floor and began a new round of adventures.
Darkness Zone.
Demon camp.
One after another, giant Abyssal Wells began to emerge, from which emerged towering figures. The leader was the Earth Demon Lord who had ambushed Levi in Hell. Beside it were three Tenth Ring demons.
Among them were two gargoyle Lords, namely the 168th floor Lord of the Abyss, Cyan Adamantine Demon King Gasu, and the 400th floor Lord of the Abyss, Golem Monarch Kant. The last one was the Lady of Desire Mernit. She looked no different from humans, but in reality, her true form was a Fiend Demon, whose abilities were similar to those of a Succubus.
The Wind Demon Lord led a group of demon powerhouses to greet them, saying:
"Great, that Surgard is useless and only makes things worse. It's still up to Vale Reid to come."
The Earth Demon Lord looked at Nora in front of him, coldly and confidently saying:
"I'm here to teach those Wizards how to behave. A Bloody Battle with the spellcaster civilization is impossible without us gargoyles."
Although Pazuzu sneered inwardly, he still complimented, "That's right! With you here, Eamon and his group won't be able to be arrogant."
Supreme Council.
Eamon said with a solemn expression: "Another formidable enemy has come from the demon side, the Earth Demon Lord! Its strength is similar to Pazuzu, but it possesses magic resistance second only to the Amethyst Saint. Everyone, be careful when acting outside. In the last Bloody Battle, we had a Legendary Wizard fall at its hands."
The Pandora Matriarch, who had lived for endless years, said: "Looking back at the history of the Multiverse, in all the Bloody Battle wars where the four Demon Lords appeared simultaneously, except when facing behemoth worlds, all ended in the Abyss's victory. Now that three Demon Lords have appeared, the situation is unprecedentedly grim."
The Hand of the Netherworld, who was in charge of the Azure Sky World war, said:
"If the Knight system or Body Refinement Wizards were developed enough, it would be easy to deal with gargoyles, but apart from the Twilight Hall Master, others cannot grow up in a short time. The only plan now is to borrow people from the Azure Sky World."
Eamon nodded and said: "That's the only way. We will send three Legendary Wizards over there to replace the three Barbarian Lords. In addition, we must find a way to communicate with the Will of Azure Sky and integrate the Azure Sky World as soon as possible. Let all the Barbarian Lords join the Supreme Council. That way, our lineup will be unprecedentedly strong."
In the end, the Supreme Council decided that Mr. Silver, the Wind Empress, and the Earth Saint Lord, three Legendary Wizards, would go to support the Barbarian Race's Bloody Battle battlefield. The Barbarian Race also knew the seriousness of the situation and decisively sent the Python God Barbarian Lord, the Turtle God Barbarian Lord, and the Eagle God Barbarian Lord, three Tenth Ring powerhouses, to support the Nora battlefield.
Azure Sky World.
High in the Sky Dome, a burly man wielding a Wrought Iron Staff brought it down, shattering the void for tens of thousands of miles ahead. A Ninth Ring mid-stage Flame Demon was crushed into pieces under the intense pressure, and its demon soul was taken away by the emerging Mother River.
Man Gang breathed slightly, his eyes like torches. As the strongest genius of the Ape God Tribe in tens of thousands of years, he had been in the Ninth Ring peak realm for more than a thousand years, and had condensed a full four types of soldiers in his body.
He had long been prepared to ascend to the Sky and challenge the Will of Azure Sky. But as time passed, no matter how he called, the Will of Azure Sky never responded.
A genius like him could only watch in despair as he grew older day by day, watching his tribesmen being slaughtered by those hateful Extraterrestrial Demons in the Bloody Battle! He frantically slaughtered demons, and below the Barbarian Lord, his record was unmatched, suppressing the current era, using this to vent the unwillingness in his heart. Whenever he made a little progress, he would call out to the Will of Azure Sky, praying for the Sky Road to descend.
On this day, he completed the condensation of the fifth type of soldier. After completing the preparations for the ritual, he raised his staff to the Sky again.
"Where is the Sky Road?"
The mournful voice echoed in the universe, shocking a group of low-level demons to death. After a long time, the high Sky Dome did not change. Man Gang was disappointed, but his eyes were still firm.
"I will awaken the Will of Azure Sky!"
Rumble!
In the sky, a muffled thunderclap echoed. Faint roars from ancient times seemed to resonate as a pupil, ten thousand miles in diameter, materialized in the center of the Sky Dome. Terrifying lightning crackled around it, and desolate chants echoed.
Man Gang's expression shifted from shock to elation.
"It's the Eye of Azure Sky! I have awakened the Will of Azure Sky!" he exclaimed. "I wish to ascend to the heavens! I implore Azure Sky to grant me a heavenly path!"
The giant pupil flickered, and jet-black fissures spread across the whites of the eye, emitting a chilling demonic aura. More than a dozen terrifying Tenth Ring auras emanated from within.
"Child... I am trapped... Save me."
Man Gang immediately understood that the Will of Azure Sky was not merely dormant; it was imprisoned by the Abyss. It had been corrupted and was perhaps on the verge of collapse! His repeated calls had awakened it, allowing it to manifest and deliver this message. Moments later, the giant eye vanished without a trace.
Man Gang flew towards the Weasel God Tribe. The Will of Azure Sky had always protected the Barbarian Race like a mother, and now, all the Barbarian Race must unite!
To rescue Azure Sky!
Ancient Dragon Continent.
The outer sea.
As the calamity slowly dissipated, a cyan figure descended from the sky, radiating a sharp Ninth Ring aura. Adorned in azure scales, with six thick arms, it was Azure Demon Locke. He held a shattered golden armor in his hands, a hint of regret in his eyes.
"It's all my fault for being too weak. I even broke the clan treasure that the Lord bestowed upon me while undergoing tribulation. I wonder if the White Dragon Commerce can repair it."
Before long, Azure Ghost, who had advanced to the mid-Ninth Ring stage recently, arrived from Sauron Continent, laughing heartily, "Excellent! Both of us brothers are now Ninth Ring! The Azure Scale Race is thriving!"
"Brother, can this treasure be repaired?"
"Yes, don't worry. I'll find a friend to fix it for you. We'll return it to the organization's treasure vault so that others can use it for tribulation in the future."
"Good, then I can rest assured."
Soon after, Azure Demon also joined the Nora Council. As of now, including the Elf Race, the number of Ninth Ring alien race powerhouses has reached 91!
Darkness Zone.
A cyan dragon, its body shaped like a sword with sharp edges, shattered the void and crashed near a dead plane.
It roared in a low voice, licking its wounds. Although it was an adult, its aura was extremely weak, not even Ninth Ring, only at the peak of the Eighth Ring.
To escape the pursuit of the God Race powerhouse, it had exhausted all its strength, using a life-consuming trump card to finally escape.
It was none other than the dragon slave, Mother Sword King Dragon Namenia, who had been put up for auction by the Fifth Heavenly Dragon General at the Giant Head Star auction.
It would now continue to heal its injuries, and as a dragon with an affinity for metal elements, this world was quite suitable. Although dead, the power of the gold element was still rich.
It transformed into a ray of light, burrowed into the earth's core, and then hibernated using a secret method, beginning its slumber. When it woke up, it might be able to return to the Ninth Ring.
Outside the desolate world, a shadow spanning the Darkness Zone descended. The ten-story ancient tower, a spectacle in itself, arrived silently.
Six months later.
Dark Ancient Tower, ninth floor.
Levi also learned about Azure Demon's advancement through the Twilight Round Table, and his heart was filled with joy. The Seven-Colored Scale Race was developing well. When he had the opportunity, he would collect the Black Scales, Red Scales, and Golden Scales, and then it would be complete.
The Purple Scale Clan was currently the weakest. The previous disaster had wiped out their powerhouses. Although they had recovered a lot since coming to the Ancient Dragon Continent, there were only eight Sixth Ring members, and none at the Seventh Ring. The road to becoming stronger was still long and arduous.
"Woof woof woof."
The bark of the Gold-Seeking Hound came, indicating that it had found something good. Levi quickly arrived with A Jin, following the tunnel dug by the hound.
Before long, Levi appeared before a natural mine, filled with white Great Stone.
Levi moved around, surveying and measuring, and finally estimated that the Great Stone reserves in this mine should be between 300 billion and 500 billion, distributed relatively sparsely, covering an area of 50,000 kilometers.
It would be impossible to mine and refine it completely in a short period of time. Levi could only do his best to cut the ore veins open with sword energy, and then use the space of the Wizard Tower and Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm to store them, and slowly mine them after returning.
"This money is endless, simply endless..."
Despite saying that, Levi's hands did not stop. After a period of time, ravines and sinkholes appeared in the original place, all Levi's handiwork. He used the Seas Change, Fields Transform spell to basically restore the terrain, reducing damage to the ecological environment.
Next, following the Gold-Seeking Hound, Levi harvested several more small Great Stone mines, with a total reserve of 200 billion.
In addition, there were more than ten Sixth Ring or higher elemental metal ore veins, and a small pile of Ninth Ring ore. He was too lazy to even look at anything below the Sixth Ring.
On the other hand, A Jin hadn't had any gains that would particularly surprise Levi during this time. This made the little mouse determined to find traces of natural treasures.
A month later.
The hunting dog found another piece of Amethyst formed from the fallen Amethyst Clan, at the peak of the Eighth Ring level, with quite good quality.
A Jin became anxious and used all his skills to locate the dragon's lair. A few days later, it led Levi to a rugged cliff, where a crooked tree shaped like a welcoming pine grew tenaciously. It bore seven fruits, plump and fragrant.
Levi's eyes lit up with joy.
"These are 70,000-year-old Red Pine Blood Fruits."
Red Pine is a magical plant similar to the Iron Tree, but of higher quality. It matures and transforms every 10,000 years, and then bears Red Pine Blood Fruits in cycles of a hundred years. Every 10,000 years, the number of fruits in a cycle increases by one. So this one is at least 70,000 years old.
The older the tree, the better the medicinal effect of the fruits. Those that are 70,000 years old are already natural treasures at the Eighth Ring level. If they exceed 100,000 years, they would be legendary.
Blood Fruits can strengthen the body and improve physique. Ordinary people who eat this quality of fruit can be born with divine strength and fight giant beasts. Of course, it is more likely that their bodies would be burst by the energy contained within.
Therefore, Knights and Wizards are the best candidates to consume them, especially Body Refinement Wizards, who can improve their body refinement physique and give birth to [Red Pine Runes] in their bodies.
"Take it."
Levi used his sword energy to cut down the entire cliff face and moved it to the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm. Only a smooth cutting surface was left in place, and a plain was formed.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak."
A Jin stood on top of the Gold-Seeking Hunting Dog's head, calling out triumphantly.
"Not bad, you're somewhat useful," Levi praised.
A Jin was very pleased and worked even harder.
Next, Levi gained more and more. Not only medicinal herbs or natural treasures, but also many rare Black Beasts, Dragon Spawn, and mixed-blood Dragon Race members.
A Jin and the emotionless magic summoning creature, the Gold-Seeking Hunting Dog, secretly competed, creating an arms race that benefited Levi immensely, making him very happy.
Three months.
The hunting dog scored another point, arriving at a place rich in gold elements. It was out of place with the surrounding environment. Levi estimated that it was a newly formed intersection point. He immediately began to dig down and found many rare ores.
Suddenly, Levi's expression changed slightly. He sensed a dragon's might awakening underground. He struck out with his sword, and the terrifying sword energy split the earth in two, forming a ravine thousands of miles deep.
Roar! A dragon's roar came, and a cyan light, like a sword, came towards Levi at extreme speed. He gently slapped it aside. It was a Cyan Sword King Dragon, looking weak and as if it was about to die.
The Sword King Dragon's eyes shook violently, seemingly unable to believe that it, a pure-blooded giant dragon, was slapped away by the man in front of it.
"So it's you."
"Have you met me before?" Seeing that the other party had no intention of killing, the Sword King Dragon also withdrew its aura and looked at Levi nervously.
"At the Giant Head Star auction. How did you escape the God Race's enslavement?"
"Are you the Twilight Hall Master?"
"Indeed."
"My name is Namenia, and I am a Sword King Dragon. I have heard that the Twilight Hall Master has many giant dragon Guardians by his side. I hope the Hall Master will take me in."
This was the first time Levi had encountered a giant dragon actively seeking to be taken in. It seemed that his reputation as the Dragon Palace Master had been initially established.
"Yes, this place is the Dark Ancient Tower, and there is no danger. I will heal your injuries first, and then take you away from here."
The Sword King Dragon is a speed-type Dragon Race, which can be used as a Secret Medicine material for the Black Emperor Dragon's cultivation, which can be considered as something obtained without any effort.
Levi's palm exuded the power of the Azure Emperor Dragon, which stimulated all things, and poured into the Sword King Dragon's body to heal its various injuries, large and small. He also cleared some tracking marks left by the God Race in its body, which were difficult to detect. After a comprehensive treatment, the Sword King Dragon was reborn. It prostrated on the ground and said:
"Thank you, Hall Master, for saving my life! I am willing to follow you forever!"
"You're welcome. Your injuries are almost healed, but you are still a little weak and need a long period of recuperation. I will send you to a safe place. It won't be long before you can return to the Ninth Ring Realm."
"Okay!"
After settling the Sword King Dragon, Levi thought that he would have to visit the Sword Dragon Matthew after going out to arrange this marriage and borrow some genes. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have Namenia give birth to a nest of Sword King Dragon babies for him? Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
The dragons warmly welcomed the arrival of the tenth pure-blooded giant dragon in the Dragon Palace. Idrasera, who was also a female dragon, was overjoyed and sighed that a good sister had arrived.
Namenia, who had suffered for many years, was frightened by so many dragons, as if in a dream. Finally, it could live a good life.
"Not bad, mining out a pure-blooded dragon."
Levi was in a great mood.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
A Jin perched on Levi's head, chirping. The Dark Ancient Tower was about to close, and it realized its gains were completely outshone by the hunting dog, urging Levi to hurry to the treasure location it sensed.
"Alright, alright, next place."
