Nora Calendar 1537, Bloody Battle 1425.
House of Witches.
Inside the high tower laboratory, Triss changed out of her research uniform, bathed, and changed clothes. Carrying a handbag, she headed to the Potion Makers' Association. Before long, a series of new potion products were certified and released.
However, this time, it was poison! After dedicating sixty years to the study of the highly poisonous faction, her achievements were remarkable and could be summarized and integrated into the Five Venoms Potion.
The Five Venoms Potion can be further divided into Serpent Potion, Centipede Potion, Spider Potion, and Toad Potion. The Scorpion Potion is still in the theoretical stage and has yet to be created.
These potions are all Sixth Ring or higher poisons. They have different effects. For example, the Sixth Ring Serpent Potion has the ability to congeal blood, which has a strong restraining effect on the Blood Clan or some creatures with strong regenerative abilities. If it is used on a local battlefield between Wizards and the Blood Clan, the effect should be good. For the Secret Sword Style, the advent of these potions is even more beneficial. By simply applying the poison to the sword, the enemy can be easily hit, inflicting poisonous damage!
After returning to the Ancient Dragon Continent, Triss, who had earned a sum of franchise fees, breathed a sigh of relief. After making money like crazy these years, the huge debt she owed Levi was almost paid off.
After taking the Thousand Year Potion, her Lifespan reached five thousand years, and she is only two thousand five hundred years old now. This is the capital that allows her to devote herself to research.
Although her cultivation is only at the Eighth Ring level, her potion-making skills are praised by many Great Wizards in the current Potion Makers' Association.
Now, her son Ai Niya is a Seventh Ring senior Wizard, and even her grandson Air has long become a Sixth Ring mechanic. For a mother, life is already complete. Her future goal is to earn more money and Battle Merit, and then exchange for a Sun Flare-level Wonder to further improve herself and reach the Eighth Ring perfection as soon as possible.
In the past few years, with the deepening of the plane convergence, the prosperity of the White Dragon Commerce, and the acquisition of Truth Wonders, in addition to the official Battle Merit exchange channels, many more have been added. Triss took this opportunity to complete the Water King Sequence as well. Although it doesn't improve her much now, even mosquito meat is still meat.
Although her Lifespan is long, it is still far from Hundred Flowers, who has no pressure at all. Every little bit of talent improvement allows her to go further in the future. After refining the Water King Sequence, the family of her companion spirit has happily added a Dim Giant Shark. In addition, the Sea Emperor Sequence is also three-fifths complete, and the Water God Sequence is three-sevenths complete, still lacking the most critical Sun Flare-level Wonder and several Full Moon Wonders.
With her current level, advancing to the Ninth Ring is not a big problem. She just wants to pursue higher goals and become a legendary potion maker like Thousand Mountains Undying.
As you think during the day, so you dream at night. Once, when she was sleeping and dreaming, she even thought of her future legendary title. If she could become a legend, her path would inevitably be inseparable from potions.
Her early Sea Country Sequence is still missing the last Empress piece Wonder. There has been no news about it for many years. She also knows that Ninth Ring Wizards have the ability to seize the Creation of heaven and earth and artificially customize Wonders, but they also need to pay a heavy price. So she is embarrassed to trouble Levi. She can't afford to repay the debt for this thing.
Buzz! Above the high Sky, the void cracked open.
A sci-fi-textured silver spaceship descended and slowly stopped above the House of Witches. In the cockpit, the Rainbow Sword Master piloted the spaceship himself. He opened the hatch and let the old man in the cultivation cabin, who didn't need to worry about anything, get off the ship.
Levi looked good. Two years ago, he experienced Crossing the Sea and went to the Folo Domain, and also obtained a lot of things from the Spider King. There were more than thirty Truth Wonders alone.
"Back from a long trip?"
"Yes... By the way, Madam, this Full Moon Wonder, I call it Purple Heart Scorpion, should be useful to you. Take it and refine it." As he said that, Levi took out a scorpion-shaped Wonder, with a virtual body emitting purple poisonous mist.
"You didn't refine it using the method of seizing Creation, did you?"
"No, I picked it up on the road."
"That's good."
Triss put away the Purple Heart Scorpion, thinking that she owed tens of billions more in foreign debt. If she doesn't advance to the Ninth Ring as soon as possible, she won't be able to pay off the money.
"By the way, Madam, is the Sea Country Sequence complete?"
"Still missing one. I plan to try to refine it after the Ninth Ring."
"Oh, I'll keep an eye out for it."
"Thank you."
Seeing that Triss's two major sequence Wonders have been in a state of incompleteness for so long, Levi's obsessive-compulsive disorder broke out, and he thought about getting them all together for her as soon as possible.
That Purple Heart Scorpion was actually refined by him. A group of scorpion-shaped alien insects broke into the Folo Domain some time ago. They were corrupted by the Abyss and launched a large-scale invasion. Levi conveniently killed the Eighth Ring alien insect leader, and also took in a large number of younger brothers and placed them in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm for purification and transformation, to supplement the Insect School's alien insect resource library.
Then, after consuming tens of billions of Great Stone and sacrificing an army of demons, he successfully refined the alien insect leader into this Full Moon Wonder. The price paid for the Full Moon Wonder is nothing to Levi now.
Returning to the organization and putting the harvest from the Folo Domain into the treasure house, Levi only kept a section of dark and simple giant wood. This is Nether Water Poison Wood, also a Rare Wood of 100,000 years, which Levi found in the nest of the group of scorpion alien insects. He summoned Victor and Holy Infant and handed over his Eternal Star Abyss to them.
"Help me refine this Rare Wood into the Wizard Tower."
"Okay."
In this way, the pillar Rare Wood of the Wizard Tower is even more perfect. At the Bloody Battle auction that had just passed, Elena also spent 20 billion Great Stone to bid for a Rare Wood with 200,000 years of Holy Light attribute for herself, which was also refined into the Wizard Tower by Levi. So only a few unpopular attributes such as Dark Wood and Shadow Wood are left.
In addition, he also won 13 treasure maps at the auction. Levi also explored several of them during this trip, and the harvest was not bad.
Returning to the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, it was still a lively scene. The prototype of the Three Realms Plan has already come out, and heaven, earth, and man are gradually separated.
In an instant, Levi's figure came to a gateway between the human world and the underworld. A gray space channel came into view, and wisps of death energy escaped from it.
"Still missing a door."
Levi raised his hand and waved, various elemental forces intertwined, and precious metal materials and wood flew around, eventually forming an antique gatehouse with a plaque on it that read [Gate of the Underworld].
On both sides of the gatehouse, on the right is [Humans and Ghosts Travel Different Paths], and on the left is [Yin and Yang Separated]. Passing through here is the Ancient Banyan Netherworld Mansion, a paradise for the dead and undead creatures, which ordinary people cannot adapt to.
After being separated from the human world, the expansion speed of the Ancient Banyan Netherworld Mansion became even faster. The power from the Nether Mother Stone far surpassed the previous Breathing Earth. Levi now has to find a way to get Mana to Ninth Ring as soon as possible, otherwise she won't be able to keep up with the expansion speed of the Netherworld Mansion.
The growth of the Divine Tree is really too slow. After Mana reached Eighth Ring last time, she is only at the mid-Eighth Ring now. This was only achieved when Levi was traveling some time ago and had Mana refine a dying medium-sized world...
It can be said that without external stimulation, even when Levi becomes a Legendary Wizard, Mana may not be able to improve by even a small realm. This is the Divine Tree, the ultimate Lifespan, at the cost of extremely slow growth! However, Levi's strength is rapidly expanding at the moment, and when he can directly contend against Tenth Ring existences, he can go to the Golden Holy World.
He wants Mana to gradually devour the Golden Holy Tree, replace it, and even go further, recreating the glorious era of the ancient Origin Divine Tree! "Lord, you've arrived."
The Undead Three Swordsmen appeared: Little Black, Geli, and Snowflake. They are now all at the Seventh Ring cultivation level and are steadily improving. Although their cultivation is not fast, there are not many obstacles. Levi once took them to meet the Death Knell Knight, the old ancestor of the undead.
This Tenth Ring powerhouse gave the three of them a lot of guidance. He also said that the talents of these three undead swordsmen are extraordinary, and they have the potential to reach Ninth Ring in the future. As for Tenth Ring... the Death Knell Knight jokingly said that it would be faster to reincarnate and change to a living being.
"How is the preparation for the Ten Halls?" Levi asked.
"Almost ready." The Three Swordsmen led Levi to the depths of the Netherworld Mansion. There, ten giant stone cities, arranged in a formation of stars surrounding the moon, stood towering. In the very center was the Undead Stele, the location of important facilities such as the Yellow Springs and the Nether Mother Stone.
"Well, not bad, this is the effect I wanted."
Next, outstanding individuals among the undead, along with those Heroic Spirits, will serve as the Lords of the Ten Halls, responsible for maintaining order in the underworld and training the undead legions.
Returning to the human world, the Thirty-Six Grotto Heavens and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands have also been divided and defined. Of course, besides these, there are other treasures. These 108 are the best, including Golden Light Cave, Little Frost Mountain, Yunmeng Marsh...
Each place is planted with magical plants that Levi has painstakingly collected. In addition, these places also have specialized management agencies established, with dedicated personnel to take care of the magical plants.
In addition to this, there are two major Secret Realms in the human world, one is the Ice Sea Snow Country, and the other is the Black Swamp Insect Country. In the outer sea, there are places like the Dragon Palace, Sea Country, and Demon Country. Different races and extraordinary creatures live there in an orderly manner.
The most difficult to build is undoubtedly the Sky. It is still chaotic and empty, and it needs time to nurture. When the Sixth Ring and above powerhouses in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm gather here, forming a prosperous scene like heavenly soldiers and generals, it would be great to think about.
Not long after.
In the outer sea of the Ancient Dragon Continent, rolling tribulation clouds gathered, Earth-Fire intertwined, and a figure merged with a lava Giant, with the Ninth Ring treasure [Nine Mountains Linked Suppression] floating above his head. He passed through the calamity without any major incidents, and exuded a Ninth Ring aura! Lucien, the Lord of Gondor City and the son of Thousand Mountains Undying, successfully advanced to Great Wizard. The Three Heroes and Levi came to congratulate him. Even the Medicine God senior, who rarely appeared, descended in his Legendary form, looking at his son with satisfaction.
Unfortunately, Lucien is not good at potions. However, the Medicine God has already regarded Triss and her companions from the Potion Makers' Association as successors, and does not force his son to inherit his career. As a Legendary Wizard, he stands tall and sees far, knowing that there are no eternally indestructible families, and that the survival of civilization is the top priority.
Thus, the 158th Great Wizard of the Nora Council was born. Considering the special nature of Gondor City, the council did not ask Lucien to go to Sauron Continent to take office, but continued to let him be the city lord, and together with the Three Heroes of Gondor, build Gondor City into a star city, attracting geniuses from all walks of life to gather here and collide with each other.
To this end, Lucien took the opportunity of celebrating his Ninth Ring advancement to hold the first [Gondor League] in Gondor City. The league will comprehensively divide different events according to realm and age. Lucien tried to use this as a starting point to gradually create a super event that encompasses all races and various professions, giving geniuses more opportunities to show themselves, forming a virtuous competition. The Three Heroes of Gondor also attended as judges.
After the competition ended successfully, everyone found that the number of award-winning members from the Ancient Dragon Continent overwhelmingly surpassed the participants from other top organizations with a clear lead.
This is even with many veteran supernovas, such as the Fire Dragon Knight and others, not participating... otherwise, the scene would be even more exciting. In the mid-to-late second millennium of Nora Calendar, the Ancient Dragon Continent has become an organization that others describe as "terrifyingly powerful."
A month later.
Good news also came from the Giant Beast Paradise. Mei Lin Na also advanced to Seventh Ring.
To some extent, the development of the Spiritism School is similar to that of Knights. Both are restricted by bloodlines, but Knights are restricted by their own bloodlines, while Spiritism Wizards depend on the bloodlines of their summoned beasts. After Mei Lin Na's summoned beast obtained the [Twelve-Winged Black Water Dragon Centipede] that Levi captured from the ancient tower, it mutated. From the mixed-blood dragon [Sky Sea Dragon Beast], it advanced to the Dragon Spawn [Centipede Sea Dragon King], and its potential is also very good.
At the very least, it is enough for her to advance to Eighth Ring Wizard.
Of course, over the years, Mei Lin Na has long since retreated to the second line, handing over major and minor affairs to the young people cultivated by the organization.
At this stage, the main person in charge of the Paradise has also become Newman, who is Nute's son. He possesses the top talent of the Spiritism School, [Listening to the Heart of All Things], and his cultivation path is very smooth. He advanced to Seventh Ring before Mei Lin Na, and is now a senior Seventh Ring Wizard. His summoned beast is the legendary creature [Nine-Headed Sea Serpent Emperor Tongusdu].
This is also the only legendary creature that does not belong to Levi, and it has long been extinct. Newman's experience in obtaining it was quite interesting. When he was exploring some magical animal distribution maps left to him by his father in his early years, he accidentally discovered the young Nine-Headed Sea Serpent Emperor in an ancient ruin in the Endless Sea.
This kind of legendary creature is not like a giant dragon. Its larva is only a common First Ring, and it only has one snake head. After that, every time it advances a level, it can grow an additional head. After nine heads, it is the complete form. Although the initial level is low, the growth rate of the Nine-Headed Sea Serpent Emperor is faster than that of giant dragons, so after being catalyzed and accelerated by the Spiritism School, it can be completely used as a summoned beast. Now it is already a seven-headed sea serpent.
This makes Newman's combat power at the top level among Seventh Ring Wizards. In the recent Gondor League, he also achieved a good ranking, fighting back and forth with a Seventh Ring supernova from a top organization, and ultimately losing narrowly.
Times have changed. Although the growth rate of the Giant Beast Paradise is not as fast as that of the Twilight Temple and the Dawn Tower, it also has more than a dozen Primal Soul Wizards, serving as the backbone of the Spiritism School of the Ancient Dragon Continent, shining brightly.
Half a year later.
Aurora Star.
Levi came to visit Namenia. He learned from Matthew that this girl is already pregnant... Levi was overjoyed, marveling at how fast their progress was.
At this moment, the Grey Eagle Law God returned to the demiplane to handle affairs. When she saw Levi, she said, "This Matthew, I really don't know what to say about him... Lord, your dragon is pregnant, you won't be angry, hahaha."
Levi laughed, "There, I'm more than happy. The number of pure-blooded dragons is too small. Each one more reduces the possibility of extinction by a fraction."
Aurora smiled gently, "I heard you built a Dragon Palace. Your dragon breeding techniques should be better than mine. Why don't you take Namenia back? ... Oh, and Matthew can join too. He's just idling around here."
Levi thought, How could I be so presumptuous? It was as if he was here to abduct the Grey Eagle Law God's dragons. Aloud, he said, "No problem, I'll definitely take good care of them. Thank you for your generosity, Madam."
The Madam was truly rich and generous. He had already taken two pure-blooded dragons from her, not to mention the dragon babies in Namenia's belly.
There are still so many good people in the world!
And so, Namenia returned to her mother's home, bringing the Sword Dragon with her to the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, a scene of joy and harmony.
Time flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
Nora Calendar 1540.
The coastline of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
Levi sat cross-legged in the void. On the sea surface, the giant whale Leviathan, hundreds of meters long, floated. Its eyes were lazy, because it was old. Its once strong body, like a machine with aging parts, was difficult to operate.
Only the Whale Song remained melodious, just like it had been on the coastline of the Gray-White Tower nearly two thousand years ago, giving Levi a moment of peace amidst his intense cultivation.
During this time, Levi hadn't cultivated much. Leviathan, one of his oldest animal friends, deserved a solemn farewell.
Before this, it had already seen off its wife and many old friends who had accompanied Levi along the way. From an ordinary Dragon King Whale to what it was now, its whale life was legendary in itself.
A month later, by the coastline, Leviathan's aged eyes could no longer support itself. Life was rapidly fading, and the aura of death began to permeate the air. Until its heart stopped beating, the story of Leviathan in the Annals of Time came to an end.
"Goodbye, my friend."
Levi saw Leviathan's soul fly out. Presented before it were two choices: one was to go to the Multiverse for normal reincarnation, and the other was to be reborn in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm. Leviathan chose the latter without hesitation.
Whether in this life or the next, staying here was enough.
Two years later, Levi also saw off Gustav. From then on, those animal companions who were most important to him before his Primal Soul had all left him. In the long years to come, such things would happen again and again.
Nora Calendar 1542.
Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
Levi opened the Proficiency Panel.
Levi—————— Sword Nine: Twentieth Ring (1/20,000,000)...
After decades, the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin sequence spell was also complete. At Zhou Holy Emperor's suggestion, Levi slightly adjusted the name of the spell, changing it to "Sword One" to "Sword Nine," representing First Ring to Ninth Ring spells respectively. In this way, it was simple and clear, and also sounded better than his previous names.
He came to the Nightmare World and then activated the Sword Nine technique. The clouds behind him were dyed golden, and the rolling power of gold element surged like the sea, transforming into a hundred million sharp swords that annihilated everything in the incantation. They sometimes condensed and sometimes dispersed, serving as both a wide-range spell and a super-strong single target attack, extremely powerful.
"Good, good, so handsome!" Levi couldn't help but boast.
"Indeed, quite handsome." Triss, carrying a medicine basket, who had just collected herbs from the Chaotic Wilderness, laughed. The medicine basket was the Ninth Ring treasure, the [Basket of the Flower Goddess], a treasure of the House of Witches, generally controlled by the contemporary Witch.
"Madam, are the Five Venoms sequence potions all completed?"
"Yes, after collecting the Five Venoms sequence wonders, the projections of the five poisons merged with each other and some changes occurred." As Triss spoke, she summoned five streams of water of different colors with a thought, condensing them into a five-colored jar, extraordinary and mysterious.
She deliberately smiled sinisterly and said:
"This is the Five Venoms Jar, containing an extremely poisonous variant [Five Venoms Divine Water]. If a non-Ninth Ring Wizard is poisoned, medicine is difficult to cure, and even immortals can't save them. Without the antidote I developed, tsk tsk tsk... in less than seven days, it will turn into a pool of pus, and even the Primal Soul and soul will melt into it, unable to be reincarnated. Tell me, is it poisonous?"
Levi exclaimed, "So poisonous!"
Since she began refining the Black Queen Serpent wonder, Triss's style seemed to have changed. She used to be a gentle and mature woman, but now she had a somewhat cold and aloof Black Widow feel... Perhaps this was also the change in people's character due to different powers.
Of course, this was not a big problem. Just like the Combustion School and Thunder School were slightly irritable, it only affected those with low cultivation levels, and it didn't matter much at higher levels. Ultimately, it still depended on the individual's will, perseverance, and character.
After exchanging pleasantries with the Madam, Levi returned to the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
He had now mastered three original Ninth Ring spells: Primordial Magnetic Giant Soldier, Giant of Light, and Sword Nine. Generally speaking, a senior Ninth Ring Wizard would be lucky to have one signature spell. His achievements had already exceeded the average level.
Next, for the fourth one, after comprehensive analysis, he chose the dream lineage.
The conventional elemental lineages were already well-developed. Levi wanted to add fuel to some relatively unpopular lineages. Most importantly, his Nightmare Emperor Dragon was a master of dreams, which would definitely help with original spells. As for space and time lineages, such spells were too difficult, and he would study them later.
Darkness Zone.
In the boundless void, Black Flame and demonic energy intertwined, and a scarlet scaled giant serpent, hundreds of miles long, slowly emerged, eventually transforming into a glamorous woman in black robes. It was none other than the Serpent Mother, a high-ranking Hidden One of the Myriad Races Council, whose true form was a Nine-Headed Hell Serpent.
Before long, two figures arrived, both exuding Eighth Ring auras, though one of them was somewhat peculiar. He was burly, clad in black heavy armor, and his aura was unstable, indicating that he was not practicing a proper cultivation method.
"Rayas greets the Serpent Mother!"
The Crow Feather Demon Lord Victor, standing beside him, laughed, "I have not failed in my mission. Rayas has already advanced to the Eighth Ring, mastering the Nine-Headed Hell Serpent Body Refinement Method!"
Back then, in order to cultivate a promising candidate for the Serpent Mother, it had scoured Middle Earth and selected many individuals, but Gandalf and his ilk had disrupted its plans, leaving only Rayas in the end.
Fortunately, this person was indeed extraordinary, a favored child of fortune, with Knight blood in his ancestry and a natural talent for Body Refinement Wizardry.
In less than two thousand years, he had cultivated to the Eighth Ring realm, making him one of the few Eighth Ring Body Refinement Wizards in the Wizard World.
"Well done, Victor, you may leave."
The Serpent Mother bestowed a Ninth Ring Abyss Core upon the Crow Feather Demon Lord.
"Thank you, Serpent Mother!"
Victor accepted the reward and departed on his own, without paying any attention to Rayas.
The Serpent Mother swayed her lithe, serpentine waist as she approached Rayas, who was blushing with embarrassment. She took his arm and said, "I'll take you to an interesting place."
With that, she and Rayas vanished into the deep void.
When they reappeared, they were inside a nest.
Here, 44 translucent serpent eggs were arranged, like vessels in a Wizard's laboratory, filled with murky yellow liquid, in which floated the corpses of the deceased. Each one possessed an Eighth Ring aura.
Rayas's face was filled with horror as he realized that many of the corpses inside were like him, having practiced the Nine-Headed Hell Serpent Body Refinement Method in their lifetimes.
The Serpent Mother had already revealed her true form, a serpent body hundreds of miles long, exuding a mid-Ninth Ring aura. She had always desired to go further, to reach her coveted... late-Ninth Ring realm. But the Nine-Headed Hell Serpent's bloodline potential was exhausted, making it as difficult as ascending to the sky.
Fortunately, she had discovered an ancient method of unknown origin in the Abyss many years ago... the Bloodline Demon Implantation Secret Canon. After thoroughly studying the secret canon, she used her own bloodline as a seed, implanting it into different living beings. Some were extraordinary serpents, while others were Body Refinement Wizards who practiced her specially modified Nine-Headed Hell Serpent Body Refinement Method. These individuals were the "Bloodline Demon Seeds," and she was the "Bloodline Demon Lord."
The power of the Blood Demon Seeds' growth would be absorbed and assimilated by the Demon Lord. When they matured, they would even condense "Blood Fruits" within their bodies.
By refining the Blood Fruits into herself through a special ritual, there was a chance to stimulate her bloodline to further self-transform and grow. The better the quality and the greater the number of Blood Fruits, the easier it would be to stimulate success. With the Serpent Mother's bloodline level, she needed at least 45 Eighth Ring Blood Fruits to achieve a slight transformation, and this had already consumed half of her life's efforts.
"It's a pity that Ninth Ring Blood Fruits are almost impossible to produce. Otherwise, with 66 Eighth Ring Blood Fruits, plus 3 Ninth Ring Blood Fruits, I might be able to stimulate my bloodline to self-transform towards the Mythic level... Alas, being able to slightly optimize and enhance my bloodline, and advance to the late-Ninth Ring, 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 Implantation Secret Canon is truly terrifying, capable of reversing the principles of bloodlines, breaking bloodline shackles, and stimulating bloodlines to mutate in unknown directions. I wonder who the creator is?"
In an instant, including Rayas, a total of 45 transparent serpent eggs cracked open, and the corpses of those living beings all melted into the yellow water, eventually forming blood water. The blood water bloomed into bewitching and bizarre 81-petaled blood lotus flowers.
As the flowers bloomed and withered, heart-like Blood Fruits were formed in an instant, totaling 45. They trembled and transformed into rays of light, surging into a strange array within the nest. Finally, they condensed into a miniature blood-colored Nine-Headed Serpent, wearing a crown on its head, exuding the aura of a sovereign. In addition to the nine heads, a small, deformed, and weak half-serpent head seemed to be sprouting.
"As expected, the quality of the Blood Fruits is too poor, otherwise, it should have manifested as a ten-headed serpent... What a pity." The Serpent Mother's expression was solemn as she swallowed it in one gulp, then coiled up in the nest and fell into a deep sleep.
"If I can succeed, then I will be the strongest Nine-Headed Hell Serpent in history! And if the opportunity is sufficient, it is not impossible to reach the Tenth Ring in the future!"
At the same time.
In an indescribable dimension, a pair of ancient eyes that had been dormant for countless years opened. These eyes belonged to a majestic figure, whose blurred face was difficult to see clearly. It was bare-chested, with a sculpted, perfect upper body, long hair draped over its shoulders, and a hideous blood hole in its left chest.
It could be seen that a scarlet, shattered heart was beating, and countless invisible blood vessels extended into the void, scattering towards the universe. In front of it, the void condensed into profound characters, the content of which, even a Ninth Ring powerhouse might go into indescribable madness upon seeing. This was a method.
Bloodline Demon Implantation General Outline! ...
Three years later.
Nora Calendar 1545.
Bloody Battle 1433.
Azure Sky World.
Mountains, forests, seas, lakes, plains... On this day, the six top Barbarian Race tribes, as well as thousands upon thousands of small and medium-sized tribes, all looked towards the Sky Dome, where a pitch-black vortex, approximately a million miles in diameter, began to condense, stirring up the world's winds and clouds.
Thunder permeated the air, and a pair of indifferent giant eyes appeared.
"Eye of Azure Sky!"
"The Will of Azure Sky has returned!"
"Hahaha, I knew it, how could Azure Sky be in trouble?"
"Azure Sky is above!"
Countless tribes and Totem Beasts prostrated themselves before the giant eye, with utmost devotion. This was the Barbarian Race's own god, protecting them through countless ages.
It was more benevolent and more focused than the gods, for it only accepted the faith of the Barbarian Race, and would even accept the prayers of every Barbarian, manifesting for them.
If the Azure Sky did not die, the Barbarian Race would not perish.
Conversely, the same was true.
Suddenly, a burly figure wielding a black iron rod arrived above the Sky Dome with a loud laugh. It was Man Gang! "I wish to tread the Sky Road and prove myself as a Barbarian Lord!"
Then, a thorny path covered in Thunder descended from the Sky, which ordinary Ninth Ring powerhouses would not dare to touch. Man Gang, however, advanced like a hot knife through butter, wielding the iron rod to sweep away all obstacles along the way. In the long years of waiting for the Azure Sky to return, he had condensed a full five types of troops. His skills were unmatched in this era! He passed through the Sky Road as he wished and arrived at an incomparably magnificent palace in the Ninth Heaven. This was a world that only powerhouses at the Barbarian Lord realm could see.
In the sea of clouds around the palace, there were Totem Spirits with terrifying auras. The weakest were above Sixth Ring, and there were many at the Ninth Ring Legend level. There were even six faintly visible Mythic-level Totem Spirits: a silver giant Weasel, an azure giant Eagle, a crimson giant Dragon... They were the symbols of the six top tribes.
These Totem Spirits had been Mythic creatures in life, the Totem beliefs of the six major tribes. After death, they returned to the Sky and were retained by the Will of Azure Sky, continuing their legacy through the path of faith and continuing to shine and generate heat for the Barbarian Race.
If the Azure Sky did not die, the Totems would not perish. They were similar to the Will of Azure Sky's symbiotic spirits, but they did not have the growth potential of symbiotic spirits. Their strength was far inferior to what it was in life, but it was still enough to rival ordinary weak gods of the Star Realm. This was also an invisible hidden power, but it was not revealed to the world.
In that magnificent palace, four towering figures were already standing. They were the Python God, the Weasel God, the Eagle God, and the Turtle God Barbarian Lord. In this era, the Dragon God tribe was experiencing a decline, and no Barbarian Lord had been born yet.
"Congratulations, Man Gang!"
"Welcome to ascension!"
Man Gang smiled and responded to each of them. He looked at the high throne, where a middle-aged man with a stern face and unparalleled majesty was wearing a purple emperor's robe.
This was the appearance of the Will of Azure Sky manifested before the Barbarian Lords. It would occasionally take this form to visit incognito and check on the situation of the Barbarian Race.
"Man Gang, your contribution this time is not small."
"Barbarian Ancestor, it is what I should do."
"Well, I have summoned you here to discuss important matters."
"Please speak, my Lord."
"The situation in the Bloody Battle is difficult now. Although I don't want to admit it... it is difficult for me to guarantee that I can protect the Barbarian Race through this great calamity with my own strength. I have led the Barbarian Race through a long time, and this is my most difficult time. Therefore, I will cooperate with the Nora Council and merge the Azure Sky World into Nora."
The five Barbarian Lords said in unison:
"We will always follow your decision, my Lord."
From a mere Barbarian to a Barbarian Ancestor, through the Ancient, Primordial, and Near Ancient three eras, the Barbarian Race had existed for endless years. Every Barbarian firmly believed that the Will of Azure Sky was always right! Its command was destiny.
"Good!"
The Will of Azure Sky stood up and looked towards the distant Darkness Zone. On the Bloody Battle battlefield belonging to the Barbarian Race, towering demonic figures began to withdraw.
Leading them was a Tenth Ring Fish Demon that resembled a fish and an octopus, with bat wings and countless tentacles dancing on its face. It was Monal, the Fish Demon Lord of the 580th floor of the Abyss, son of the Black Water Demon Emperor, Lord of Ten Thousand Waters, and Water Demon Lord.
Its father was Suk, the Water Demon Lord of the 640th floor of the Abyss, who, along with Pazuzu, Surgard, and Vale Reid, was known as the Four Demon Lords of Earth-Fire Wind-Water.
"The Azure Sky has returned, and the Barbarian Race will be harder to deal with. Next, they will definitely integrate into Nora. We must also consolidate our forces and go to Nora... In addition, my father will end his slumber and return to the Nora battlefield soon."
The simultaneous appearance of the Four Demon Lords meant that the Abyss was starting to get serious. The individual strength of these four Demon Lords was nothing in the bottom layers of the Abyss, where powerhouses were as common as clouds.
But once they combined and reshaped the Earth-Fire Wind-Water, it would be enough to sweep through all civilizations except the four juggernauts... including Nora!
Nora.
Supreme Council.
The Legendary Wizards were all sitting around the Round Table, discussing important matters, which were obviously related to the integration of the Barbarian Race. Not long after, Eamon announced the adjournment of the meeting, and everyone turned into rays of light and headed towards the Northern Sea.
Northern Sea.
The figures of the Legendary Wizards descended. Just like the previous time with Pandora's integration, except this time, a full eight Legendary Wizards were dispatched.
Ms. Pandora, the Blue Dream Star Master, and the five Barbarian Lords were also present, guarding this place together with the Legendary Wizards to prevent the demons from taking the opportunity to launch an attack and hinder the fusion of the two worlds.
As time passed, the originally calm sea surface began to roll without wind, and terrifying waves were about to crash against the crystal wall high in the sky. The Azure Sky World was several times larger than Pandora's, so the commotion of its integration was naturally extraordinary.
The Legendary Wizards each displayed their supernatural powers. Wizard Phases, Legendary Wizard Artifacts, Legendary Spells, Demiplanes, Symbiotic Spirits... many methods emerged one by one. Every move they made was a power that Great Wizards could hardly imagine.
In the distance, Levi's figure appeared, watching the earth-shattering scene in front of him. He was shocked by the power of the Legends and murmured:
"With the fusion of the Azure Sky World this time, Nora's size will obviously expand by a circle... In the future, the Divine Light Knights won't need to travel between the two worlds anymore. When the Continental Bridge between the Azure Sky Continent and the Ancient Dragon Continent is opened, the trade of Giant Beasts and Bloodline Essence will be much smoother."
Rumble! An endless continent exuding a desolate, ancient aura emerged in the Northern Sea, about half the size of the Nora Continent. In the high sky, the giant eye of Thunder overlooked the world, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Buzz! A monstrous demonic aura surged from afar, and a stone statue giant face that blotted out the sky appeared in the void, none other than the Earth Demon Lord.
Beside it, the Wind Demon Lord, the Lord of Wrath, the Golem King, and the Shadow Demon Queen, nearly twenty demon lords emerged, and waves of earth-shattering attacks swept towards Nora, clearly intending to take this opportunity to cause trouble. The Legendary Wizards were busy stabilizing the sea waves, and the number of powerhouses responsible for guarding was clearly difficult to resist so many demons.
"So you're the Blazing Sun God Wizard Eamon?"
The Earth Demon Lord pressed down in the void, and a towering stone pillar fell from the sky, smashing towards the Azure Sky Continent. It casually spat out a giant mountain comparable to a small or medium-sized world, pressing down on Eamon. If it could take this opportunity to severely injure this Supreme Council Speaker, then the demons would make a killing, and Nora would be nothing to fear!
At the same time, the other demons also acted quickly. The Golem King of the 400th floor of the Abyss transformed into a million-zhang tall golden giant elephant, charging towards the Daydream Believer. This Legendary Wizard always used super-powerful illusions to interfere with their battles, so he had to be dealt with first.
The Lord of Wrath wielded a giant axe, as if a demon god was splitting the heavens and the earth, endless anger turned into substantial axe light, wanting to split the Azure Sky Continent in two. The old-faced Turtle God Barbarian Lord waved his hand, condensing the momentum of heaven, earth, and man into a giant shield, blocking this attack.
Nora trembled with a buzzing sound. So many powerhouses were fighting nearby, and the aftershocks transmitted were enough to shake the world. Fortunately, Nora was not what it used to be. In the past, the earth's crust would have been shattered.
While Nora's strongest were being held back, in the Darkness Zone, figures of Ninth Ring demons sat cross-legged on Demon Mountain, endless, and the diverse demon army came aggressively. Each legion was interspersed with a number of Gargoyles.
Demon Mountain tore through Nora's crystal wall in various parts of the world, and demons that had already been lurking in various parts of Nora, colluding from the inside and outside, poured out from the sky, from the ocean, and from the volcano, also joining this carnival.
On the Nora Continent, in the Four Seas Land, and on the New Continent, the wizards and the Myriad Races Allied Forces, who had been prepared for a long time, also poured out from the Wizard Towers and cities, rushing to the battlefield.
In the sky, the escape lights of Ninth Ring Wizards and Ninth Ring powerhouses crisscrossed, intercepting those descending Ninth Ring demons through the Continental Bridge.
Supreme Council, in front of the Round Table.
The Blazing Star God Wizard sat here alone. He took a deep breath, and the image of the Dragon Flame Divine Wizard standing on the Tower of Babel to intercept the myriad demons appeared in his mind.
He closed his eyes, and a scarlet giant tree phantom appeared behind him. At the top of the tree was a bird's nest-like scarlet world, which was his demiplane [Endless Fire Nest].
Along with clear phoenix cries, fiery figures like Fire Phoenixes flew out of the nest, flying towards various parts of the world like tracking missiles at unimaginable speeds, intercepting those Ninth Ring demons.
This was a legendary method that the Blazing Star God Wizard had researched based on his own situation after inheriting the Dragon Flame spell, and its name was: Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!
