The Sea Race territory.
The Eight-Armed Demon Emperor looked at the Red Whale Ancestor Wizard and said with a grim smile, "Cooperate with you Wizards?"
The Red Whale Ancestor Wizard said, "Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor, I also have the bloodline of the ancient Whale Emperors, and I have always been proud of my identity as a descendant of the Sea Race emperors."
The Eight-Armed Demon Emperor said, "Speak. If you can't pique my interest, then hurry up and get lost. I don't have much patience."
The Red Whale Ancestor Wizard said, "I have heard that Your Majesty wishes to open the Treasury of Emperors and is collecting tokens for this purpose. Your Majesty probably hasn't collected them all yet, has he?"
The Eight-Armed Demon Emperor's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "So what? Do you have any tokens on your side?"
The Red Whale Ancestor Wizard said, "I don't, but we in the Submerged Ancient City do, and... three of them."
The Eight-Armed Demon Emperor was silent.
Opening the Treasury of Emperors requires a total of twelve tokens, from the twelve ancient Sea Race emperors.
After a long search of a thousand years, he has now collected eight, and is still short four.
They are the Sea King Spear, Sea King Shield, Sea King Lock, and Sea King Halberd.
Among them, according to intelligence from his subordinates, the Sea King Halberd obtained from the Sturgeon Emperor has been lost by his descendants, its whereabouts unknown.
Now it seems that the Submerged Ancient City possesses the remaining three Sea King tokens.
The Eight-Armed Demon Emperor said, "Dare you make a Truth Oath to prove that the Submerged Ancient City possesses three Sea King tokens?"
The Red Whale Ancestor Wizard said, "To show my sincerity, I am willing to make a Truth Oath."
After the Red Whale Ancestor Wizard swore the oath, the Eight-Armed Demon Emperor was overjoyed.
In this way, the whereabouts of eleven tokens have been found. When the time comes, I will use the Sea Race's secret method to sense the whereabouts of the last Sea King Halberd through the existing tokens and retrieve it. The door to the Treasury of Emperors will be opened for me, and I will step into the supreme Sea God realm of the Sea Race!
The Eight-Armed Demon Emperor is the most talented of all the Sea Race in the near-ancient era.
He is now at the peak of the Eighth Ring, and even if the strongest ancient Eight-Armed Sea Race Emperor were alive, it would be no more than this.
If he becomes a Sea God, he can have a place in the Wizard World and fight for greater rights for minority races like the Sea Race.
Some time ago, someone claiming to be an envoy of the Myriad Races Council came to him, inviting him to join the Myriad Races Council.
And claimed that the Myriad Races Council has arranged a suitable medium-sized plane for the Sea Race as a habitat.
However, the Eight-Armed Demon Emperor does not want to leave Nora at the moment. The Sea Race are also the original inhabitants of Nora.
In terms of history, they are more ancient than the up-and-coming Wizards.
He is not willing to leave.
The Red Whale Ancestor Wizard said, "Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor, I wonder if you have heard of the Golden Overlord?"
The Eight-Armed Demon Emperor said, "I've heard a little about him. What's the matter?"
As a Sea Race Emperor, he also cares about information on some Wizard geniuses.
The Red Whale Ancestor Wizard said, "Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor, you may not know this, but this person is also in the Human Realm now, residing in the Ancient Dragon Continent."
The Eight-Armed Demon Emperor said, "You want me to send the Sea Race to kill him?"
The Red Whale Ancestor Wizard said, "Not to kill, but to capture alive... Of course, I will cooperate with the Sea Race here. Once he is captured alive, the transaction will be completed, and the Submerged Ancient City will naturally offer the Treasury tokens with both hands."
The Ancestor Wizard sneered inwardly.
He knows the calculations in this Sea Race Emperor's heart.
Even if the Sea Race obtains the Treasury of Emperors and the Eight-Armed Demon Emperor becomes a Sea God comparable to a Ninth Ring powerhouse, he will not be able to escape the control of the Council.
The fate of the Sea Race has been determined since the moment they were conquered by the Wizard Council.
Looking at the multiverse, there are countless races whose fate and ending are worse than that of the Sea Race.
The Council's preservation of the Sea Race and allowing it to develop is actually to obtain the Sea Race bloodline and ensure the development of Body Refinement Wizard organizations like the Sea Abyss Alliance.
The ultimate goal of the Council is to continuously absorb and assimilate these excellent bloodline genes into the Wizards.
For example, a Sea Race bloodline Wizard like himself actually has no sense of belonging to the Sea Race anymore.
The so-called pride in the Sea Race is just a nice way of putting it.
Sea Race hybrids and Dragonkin hybrids are all products tacitly approved by the council, with the goal of building a unified "Wizard community."
The Eight-Armed Demon Emperor said, "You want to use our Sea Race to eliminate the Golden Overlord. I've heard he's a very powerful Body Refinement Wizard... Give me all the information you have about him, and I'll consider it on my end."
The Red Whale Ancestor Wizard smiled and said,
"May our cooperation be pleasant."
He knew how obsessed the Eight-Armed Demon Emperor was with the Treasury of Emperors. This matter was likely to succeed.
After the Red Whale left.
The Eight-Armed Demon Emperor looked at the Sea Race kings below.
A giant whale Sea Race member, with a towering figure like a mountain and a deep abyss-like mouth, said:
"Demon Emperor, leave this matter to me."
The Eight-Armed Demon Emperor said, "Giant Whale King, the Golden Overlord is exceptionally strong. Although you are a Seventh Ring powerhouse, do not underestimate him... Those Wizards from the Submerged Ancient City are extremely cunning. They must think this matter is difficult to handle, which is why they sought us out."
He knew that the Red Whale Ancestor Wizard had malicious intentions, but for the sake of the Treasury of Emperors, he had no choice but to do this.
The Giant Whale King said:
"For the Sea Race, I will return victorious from this mission!"
Ancient Dragon Continent.
Hundred Flowers lay in bed, looking at Levi, who seemed distracted, and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Levi said, "I have a feeling someone wants to harm me."
Just now, his danger perception had suddenly issued a very strong warning.
In the past, although he had danger perception, it was always very stable, not as urgent as it was today.
Upon hearing this, Hundred Flowers put on her clothes and said:
"I suspect the Myriad Races Council is trying to deal with you."
Levi said, "Possibly."
In his mind.
The eerie smiling face of the Blind Pig faintly revealed a scene of the seabed.
"The deep sea?"
Levi carefully recalled the people and forces he had offended.
First, the Myriad Races Council.
Needless to say, Levi had repeatedly opposed them under the identity of the Golden Overlord, and they would inevitably rack their brains to deal with him.
Second, the Leitney Family.
In order to investigate the cause of the Electric Eel Wizard's death, they even invited a Great Wizard. Although Levi had done everything flawlessly, he could not completely rule out the possibility of them finding out about him.
Third, the Submerged Ancient City.
This was more likely, because the Submerged Ancient City was itself a Wizard organization existing in the deep sea, and it was closely related to the scene shown by the Fool Rune.
Seeing Levi's solemn expression, Hundred Flowers said:
"No matter who wants to harm you, I will face it with you this time. Don't even think about sending me away. I am, after all, a Sixth Ring peak Wizard, with Nine Wizard Marks imprinted."
Hundred Flowers knew that Levi himself had the ability to foresee danger.
With his reaction, the enemy must not be an easy opponent.
Levi said, "Don't be too nervous. The enemy should be around Seventh Ring. With my strength, it's not like I don't have the power to fight."
Hundred Flowers suddenly said, "Levi, let's bring Triss over to stay for a while... With Triss in charge, it will be safer. If that doesn't work, let's call Lucy over too."
Levi said, "That's not good, how can we trouble those seniors... Well, how about calling Ms. Triss over? But I have to explain to her that there might be danger."
Levi bowed his head to reality. Now is not the time to be a hero.
When it's time to latch onto a powerful backer, you absolutely can't care about face.
A few days later.
A figure wearing a potion maker's Wizard robe rushed to the Ancient Dragon Continent in a flurry. It was Triss.
She saw Levi and Elena, the young couple who came to greet her, and couldn't help but laugh, "You only think of me when something happens, right?"
Elena said, "I miss you usually too... but this time, the problem is indeed a bit tricky."
Levi said gratefully, "Thank you, Madam!"
Triss snorted lightly and said, "This time, I'll help you out of obligation because you took in Ai Niya... Besides, if the enemy is from the Submerged Ancient City, I might as well solve it together to eliminate future troubles."
She has the Eighth Ring exotic treasure, the Magic Dragon Whip, which the Submerged Ancient City is determined to obtain.
This Black Wizard Organization will definitely not let it go.
"How accurate is your sense of danger? Should I ask for more help?"
Levi said, "I can only sense that there is an impending danger... It's enough for the three of us to know about this."
Triss has a Seventh Ring ordinary cultivation, Hundred Flowers has a Sixth Ring perfect cultivation, plus himself. Even if the enemy sends a Seventh Ring powerhouse, they should return empty-handed.
As for Eighth Ring powerhouses? There aren't many in the Wizard World, and they are all leaders of top Wizard organizations on the surface.
Triss said, "Alright, I'll take a vacation here for a while, and take a look at your love nest."
Elena's face turned red.
"Why don't you build a Wizard Tower in the Ancient Dragon Continent as a vacation spot? It's great to relax your body and mind in the human world after work and cultivation."
Triss's eyes moved, she smiled and looked at Levi, and sighed, "I want to too, but it depends on whether this great Lord next to you agrees?"
Levi was stunned and said, "Me? I agree. I'm just worried that my place is too small, and a Seventh Ring Wizard like you won't like it."
Levi felt a little helpless in his heart.
The old Witch of the House of Witches wouldn't blame him, would she?
It's one thing to abduct Elena, and now Triss also shows signs of being abducted... Anyway, it's not his fault, these two women came voluntarily.
And so.
Triss settled down in the Ancient Dragon Continent.
Ai Niya was a little surprised.
"Mother, why are you here too?"
Triss said expressionlessly, "Levi is your mother's friend... Of course I can come."
Ai Niya was thoughtful, savoring the meaning, not understanding but feeling it was profound, and went back to cultivation in a huff. He had just been promoted not long ago and needed to consolidate his realm.
The Human world.
The outer sea.
An underwater castle.
Surrounded by giant whales and schools of sharks.
The Red Whale Ancestor Wizard looked displeased.
"Damn it, that stinky woman Triss actually came to the Ancient Dragon Continent too! Does she have something going on with the Golden Overlord? Why are they always together? And this Golden Overlord is really greedy. He already has the Flower Witch, and now it looks like he wants to take the Witch of Potions too. How can he get all the benefits?"
The Red Whale Ancestor Wizard grumbled, feeling somewhat unbalanced.
Just because the Golden Overlord is young and promising, he can do whatever he wants?
Old fogeys like him, nobody loves, right?
A sense of desolation, like a hero in his twilight years, arose spontaneously.
The Giant Whale King said:
"Just a Seventh Ring Witch, if you and I change our appearances and rush to the Ancient Dragon Continent, we can just take care of her, and then capture that damn Golden Overlord alive, right?"
The Red Whale Ancestor Wizard said, "It's not that simple. That would cause too much commotion and is a poor strategy. Let's wait for the Golden Overlord to leave the Ancient Dragon Continent. I don't believe he can stay there forever."
The Giant Whale King said:
"If you're so hesitant, when will we complete the mission?"
The Red Whale Ancestor Wizard said, "We'll act after Triss leaves."
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was five years later, Nora 40.
Dawn Tower.
Mechanical Workshop.
A batch of newly produced Mechanical Armor was assembled.
These armors exuded a heavy metallic texture, and the paint on the surface formed patterns like eagle feathers, each with a specific number.
A group of mechanics were busy with final adjustments.
Herman said:
"The Feather Apostles are complete and ready for deployment."
Levi said, "Thank you for your hard work."
A group of Knights who had undergone rigorous screening looked at these handsome steel creations with anticipation.
A Feather Knight, carrying a greatsword, said excitedly:
"Great, our Feather Apostle Corps is also established."
Levi said, "Feather Knight, I'm entrusting this unit to you. Complete the training and integration as soon as possible to prepare for the Bloody Battle."
The Feather Knight said:
"I guarantee the completion of the mission."
The Knights put on their Mechanical Armor and quickly headed to the training ground, starting their work.
Levi asked:
"Tower Master, the bio-mimetic reconnaissance machines for the entire continent can also be put on the agenda."
The Tower Master said, "No problem. Now that the production line for the Mechanical Armor has been established, I don't need to do it myself. Next, I will start developing more advanced mechanical creations."
Relatively speaking, the value of Mechanical Armor is not the highest.
The fully automated central cluster-controlled war fortress mechanical guard system is the real strength of the mechanical school.
The secret of a mechanic being an army of one lies in this.
It is said that Madison's Wizard Tower is a mobile mechanical war fortress, combining multiple functions such as alert, reconnaissance, defense, and attack.
It only needs a control center, which is the Tower Spirit of the Wizard Tower.
Through precise and complex calculations, it can dispatch thousands of mechanical guards to launch orderly attacks on the enemy.
Currently, the warning system of the Ancient Dragon Continent mainly relies on the Weasel colony that Levi brought out from the Dark Ancient Tower and the patrol teams established by various organizations, which is not perfect enough.
To build an impregnable defense system, a continent-wide alert network is essential.
Magic Arrays, mechanical creatures, Weasels, and other systems cooperate with each other to prevent a single demon from entering.
Of course, these systems are mainly aimed at the demon army below the Sixth Ring. Demon lords above the Sixth Ring still need the Sixth Ring powerhouses of the Ancient Dragon Continent to deal with them.
After visiting the mechanical workshop.
Levi came to Triss's Wizard Tower and said, "Madam, I think the enemy must have discovered your existence, so they dare not act... If you have something to do, there is no need to waste time here with me. Continuing like this is not a solution."
Triss said:
"I'm fine. Cultivation is the same everywhere. Those jobs at the Potion Makers' Association can be done remotely."
Levi asked:
"Are you really okay?"
Triss raised her eyebrows and said:
"You little brat, you wouldn't be trying to drive me away, would you? You start being heartless after using someone, huh?"
Levi said, "That's definitely not what I meant. It's just that I feel bad about taking up your time all the time. If you want to continue staying here, Madam, I am naturally welcome. By the way, won't the House of Witches mind?"
Triss said:
"I've already informed the House of Witches. Don't worry."
Levi was secretly delighted. To be able to freeload a Seventh Ring Wizard to sit in the Ancient Dragon Continent, he couldn't ask for more.
These five years.
That sense of danger lingered, and waiting like this was not a solution.
He couldn't wait passively; he needed to take the initiative.
"My mental strength is now 3970 points, and I will soon be able to truly step into the Sixth Ring completion realm. Just wait a few more years."
With Triss sitting here, he felt a great sense of security, and Levi was not in a hurry.
Undersea Ancient Castle.
The Giant Whale King said a little impatiently, "Red Whale, it's been five years. Shouldn't we take action?"
The Red Whale Ancestor Wizard said, "According to the information I have, Triss has not returned to the Endless Sea. She is still on the Ancient Dragon Continent."
The Giant Whale King said:
"You and I are both Seventh Ring. I will help you hold back Triss, and it will be easy for you to take down that Golden Overlord, right?"
The Red Whale Ancestor Wizard was silent for a long time, and then said:
"Not so. The true strength of the Golden Overlord far exceeds his realm itself."
The great battle at Triss's birthday party was because they didn't know the Golden Overlord's strength, which led to the mission failure.
This time, he couldn't repeat the same mistake.
In the Red Whale Ancestor Wizard's view, it was unlikely that he or the Giant Whale King alone could take down the Golden Overlord.
To succeed, the two must work together to have a higher probability.
Therefore, they had to wait for the Golden Overlord to be alone, ensuring that he, Triss, and Elena were not together before they could act.
The Giant Whale King said:
"Okay, then let's wait a little longer, but Lord Eight-Armed Demon Emperor's patience is limited. You better hurry up."
Darkness Zone.
Sauron Pan-Plane.
Black Swamp Plane.
A world full of swamps, miasma, and poisonous fog.
A huge worm was entrenched in the palace, and a young figure in a blood robe appeared on its back.
This was the Blood Vortex Venerable, also known as the "Leech God" by the creatures of the Black Swamp Plane, and was the master of the Black Swamp Plane.
His true form was a powerful alien creature, a Vortex Beast.
He was also a member of the Myriad Races Council, and a [Venerable]-level high-ranking member.
A projection appeared, a white and chubby-looking teenager, exuding an aura of vicissitudes that shook the myriad planes. At a glance, one could tell he was an old monster who had lived for who knows how long.
The Blood Vortex Venerable hurriedly said:
"Overlord, is there anything you need to command me?"
This Overlord was an [Ancient Level] powerhouse of the Myriad Races Council, one of the seven giants.
The Worm Overlord.
The Worm Overlord and the Blood Vortex Venerable had known each other for a long time, and he was also his direct superior.
The Worm Overlord had many powerful insectoid alien powerhouses under his command.
The Blood Vortex Venerable, the Poisonous Bee Venerable, the Black Butterfly Venerable, and others were all his capable subordinates.
The Worm Overlord said, "The Bloody Battle is imminent. Are the Leech avatars you planted in the Wizard World ready?"
The Blood Vortex Venerable said:
"They are ready and can carry out the mission at any time."
The Worm Overlord said, "Good, don't act for now. When the Bloody Battle begins, there is an important figure who needs to be assassinated. At that time, I need your avatar to cooperate with other [Apostles] in a joint operation."
After saying that.
The Worm Overlord disappeared.
The mission list appeared in the Blood Vortex Venerable's mind.
He glanced at it.
Almost all of them were top geniuses of the Wizard World's ocean faction.
"Elena, Snow Lotus Witch, Hurricane Child, Extremity Fist Overlord Wizard..."
In addition to that.
The list also mentioned someone who needed special attention.
"Golden Overlord?"
[Golden Overlord: Danger Level: High Basic Information: Sixth Ring Body Refinement Wizard, has caused great obstacles to the organization's actions several times, extremely powerful, suspected of killing a Sixth Ring peak Amethyst Clan member, it is recommended that multiple Seventh Ring Apostles act together. Kill Reward: An Eighth Ring Exotic Treasure, a medium-sized plane.]
"Hiss, is this Golden Overlord so valuable?"
The Blood Vortex Venerable was shocked.
An Eighth Ring Exotic Treasure was one thing.
But there was also an additional reward of a medium-sized plane.
Even the most ordinary one was priceless.
The organization was really going all out this time.
He became somewhat interested in the Golden Overlord.
"Interesting, it just so happens that my avatar is doing quite well in the Wizard World. I'm determined to take this person's head."
Elsewhere.
In the dark void near Nora, in a desolate asteroid field.
More than twenty purple figures stood there, clearly members of the Amethyst Clan.
Among them, the weakest were Fifth Ring Amethyst Clan members, and there were several Sixth Ring members as well.
The leader was an extremely rare Seventh Ring Amethyst Clan member.
His name was Da Gu, an Apostle of the Myriad Races Council, and the captain of this "Amethyst Clan Suicide Squad".
"Captain, when will we avenge Wanda?"
"I hate it! Wanda died many years ago for our cause of liberation, and those hateful Wizards must have turned his remains into Wizard items."
Da Gu said in a cold voice, "Don't rush. It's too difficult to act now. According to the news from the higher-ups of the organization, the Abyss is already excavating the Abyssal Well leading to Nora. In a few decades, or a century or two at most, the Bloody Battle will begin. When the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman benefits. Let's watch from the sidelines first, and then find the right time to avenge Wanda."
The Abyss World.
This may be the most terrifying forbidden zone in the myriad planes.
All civilizations like to use "demons" to refer to evil people, which shows the influence of the Abyss, which can be called the number one villain in the heavens and myriad worlds.
In novel stories, those villains often need a motive for doing evil, either to rule the world or to have a sad past.
But the Abyss doesn't need it. It simply desires slaughter and chaos.
Since ancient times, the Abyss has always been indiscriminately invading the myriad planes at random.
From small planes to the world of gods like the Star Realm.
The Abyss doesn't say a word and just starts fighting.
If it can win, it fights. If it can't win, it still fights, even if it means complete annihilation.
Anyway, after a period of recuperation, the Abyss can make a comeback.
Now.
In the sky above the first level of the Abyss, the black demonic energy that covers the sky and the sun is rolling, rushing out of the Abyss Plane and entering the dark deep space.
The demonic energy twists and folds the space, forming vortexes similar to wormholes.
These demonic energy vortexes, like spider webs, densely connect to the myriad planes.
Among them, a giant vortex with a diameter of thousands of miles is slowly forming, devouring everything around it.
Figures with auras so powerful that they can distort space are entrenched around the vortex, and chaotic, brutal, and evil thoughts fill the void.
"Jie Jie Jie, Nora, long time no see."
Seven years later.
Nora Year 47.
Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
After another meditation, Levi opened his eyes, which were full of Divine Light, and a Sixth Ring complete aura swept out.
"My mental power is 4,000 points. It took me four hundred years to achieve Sixth Ring, but it only took me seventy years to reach the Sixth Ring complete realm... This is the power of the Infinite Primal Soul Method. The foundation has been laid, and then I can build high-rise buildings quickly and steadily, and achieve a curve overtaking. A sword's sharpness comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. The ancients did not deceive me."
Levi was glad that he had spent nearly two hundred years more to take this most difficult path.
The difficulty of promotion after Sixth Ring is self-evident. Hundred Flowers, with her talent, spent three hundred years from ordinary Sixth Ring to Sixth Ring complete.
And ordinary Primal Souls like the Black Shark Devourer may not be able to reach Sixth Ring complete even when they die of old age.
The reason why Levi can improve his mental power so quickly is:
First, Levi has a solid foundation, and second, the proficiency panel and his elemental affinity talents.
More importantly, he has sufficient resources.
Soul Stones, Soul Artifact Fragments, Fire Dates, Dead Soul Jujubes, and Truth Wonders, these things that can save hard work, he uses them lavishly.
If it were other Primal Soul Wizards, without such resources, even if they had better talent, they would not be able to improve as quickly as Levi.
Of course, Levi has exhausted all of the above resources.
It will be difficult to improve his mental power so quickly in the future.
Open the proficiency panel.
Levi———————— Six Suns Chain Burst: Fifteenth-Order (Limit).
"The first ultimate Sixth Ring Primal Soul spell has been created."
Levi tested it in the training ground and was overjoyed.
The power of the Six Suns Chain Burst was already three times that of the Fire Dragon Tribulation.
Once unleashed, even a Sixth Ring perfected Wizard would not dare to withstand it head-on; their protective force field would likely collapse.
Of course, the consumption of the Six Suns Chain Burst was also far greater than that of the Fire Dragon Tribulation.
Therefore, innate spells and Primal Soul spells each had their strengths and weaknesses and needed to complement each other.
"Although I am now a Sixth Ring perfected, I am still two thousand points away from reaching the limit of my spiritual power... There's no helping it; my spiritual power cap is more than a thousand points higher than that of a regular Wizard."
The normal spiritual power cap for a Sixth Ring Wizard was 5000 points, while Levi's was 6029 points, which could be considered a happy problem.
"Next, I will hone my spiritual power to the limit, and then I can prepare to advance to the Seventh Ring."
During this time, Levi would collect and learn Primal Soul spells as much as possible to see how many Wizard Marks he could imprint before reaching the Seventh Ring.
"Today's advancement, according to custom, calls for a celebration."
Levi left the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm to find Elena at the Hundred Flower Hall to celebrate, but he ran into Triss, who had just left.
Triss sensed Levi's Sixth Ring perfected level of spiritual power and surprisingly found it to be a normal occurrence.
She guessed it was because she had been around Levi, this freak, for too long and had become numb to it.
How many years had it been since Levi advanced to the Sixth Ring? Not even a century, right? His cultivation had skyrocketed to Sixth Ring perfected.
Triss said, "What are you rushing to Elena for?"
Levi coughed.
"I'm here to help Hundred Flowers build a Wizard Tower."
Triss laughed, "Go ahead, I won't disturb your alone time... Congratulations on advancing to Sixth Ring perfected; it won't be long before you surpass me."
Now it seemed no wonder the Frost Witch, Lucy, valued Levi so much. Because Levi was a freak like them, the further he cultivated, the faster he progressed.
Hundred Flower Hall.
The Alchemy Room.
Elena was designing the foundation of the Wizard Tower.
Some artificers and Magic Array Wizards from the Dawn Tower were also busy assisting.
A Wizard Tower was a major project, especially since Hundred Flowers herself did not have artificing or Magic Array skills, so many people were needed to help build it.
Sensing Levi's Sixth Ring perfected spiritual power, Hundred Flowers said, "Everyone, go back for today; I'll finish the rest of the work myself."
Once they were alone.
Hundred Flowers smiled, "You've finally caught up to me."
Levi said, "Isn't that right? Back when you were Primal Soul, I was just a mid-level Wizard. I couldn't have imagined that the most beautiful Hundred Flower Knight in the world would become my woman."
After saying that, Levi embraced Hundred Flowers.
Hundred Flowers playfully chided, "Don't say that; you make me feel like I've been standing still for the past three hundred years."
Levi chuckled and, right there at the construction site of the Hundred Flower Wizard Tower, they engaged in a joyous union.
Several days later.
Levi said, "Now that I am Sixth Ring perfected, it's time to start the counterattack."
Hundred Flowers said, "You, me, plus Triss, what are our chances of facing the enemy?"
Levi said, "Judging from the level of danger I sense, the enemy's strength should be around Seventh Ring early stage. I've made some preparations over the years, so I'm confident in this battle. You know my personality; I don't do things I'm not sure of."
Hundred Flowers said, "Then I'm relieved."
Levi said, "Come with me to the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm."
Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
In front of the Dragon Palace's base.
A nine-colored Magic Array emitting a radiant glow enveloped the surroundings.
Hundred Flowers asked, "What is this Magic Array?"
Levi said, "This is a Sixth Ring Magic Array I recently developed, improved from the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon Prison. I call it the [Nine Dragons Purgatory Array]."
Levi hadn't been idle these past few years. Together with the Holy Infant, he spent a massive 900 million to upgrade the previously discarded Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon Prison, taking it a step further from its original foundation.
The current [Nine Dragons Purgatory Array] is composed of nine major modules.
They are Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Frost, Thunder, Metal, Shadow, and Death.
Each module, taken individually, is a Sixth Ring-level Magic Array, sufficient to serve as the defensive array for an ordinary high-level Wizard organization.
When the nine major arrays are combined, they form a top-tier Sixth Ring Magic Array, which is Levi's reliance for taking action against the enemies behind the scenes.
As before, if the Nine Dragons Purgatory Array has powerful beings that match its attributes to guard the array eyes, its power will be greatly enhanced.
Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water are:
Earth Spirit Soldier, Diablo, Wind Spirit Soldier, and Water Spirit Soldier.
Frost, Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant.
Thunder, Ancient Thunder Clam.
Metal, Metal Spirit Soldier.
Shadow, Shadow Legion.
Death, Bone Dragon, Geli, and Little Pink.
The choice of array eyes is also important.
Anything that might expose Levi's Dragon Spawn identity cannot be used.
This is to prevent the enemy from leaking Levi's identity after escaping, which would be very troublesome.
Dragon Spawn cannot be used.
Generally speaking, the danger of presiding over the array eyes is not great, as they do not need to participate in direct combat. However, the Dragon Spawn are related to Levi's future cultivation.
Fighting against suspected Seventh Ring powerhouses has a lot of uncertainty, making it difficult to fully control the battlefield situation. He cannot let them take this risk.
Therefore, Levi chose to use his own Spirit Soldiers to replace them.
Seeing the immense power of the Magic Array, Hundred Flowers was overjoyed.
"In this way, our chances of capturing the enemy are even greater. Levi, you are so talented."
Levi took a deep breath and said:
"Next, it's time to lure the snake out of its hole."
Somewhere in the outer sea.
A projection appeared before the Red Whale Ancestor Wizard, showing the Giant Whale King.
"It's been more than ten years. Shouldn't we make a move?"
The Giant Whale King's tone was clearly impatient.
The Eight-Armed Demon Emperor had been urging him for progress, making it difficult for him to sleep or eat in peace.
The Red Whale Ancestor Wizard said calmly, "Prepare to make a move. The spy I planted in the House of Witches discovered that Triss has returned to the Endless Sea."
It wasn't that he didn't want to capture Levi sooner, but once bitten, twice shy.
To deal with these monster-like Sixth Rings, he had to go all out. Even one Seventh Ring wasn't enough; he needed two.
Giant Whale King revealed a bloodthirsty smile and said:
"Remember to have the Submerged Ancient City prepare the token."
After more than ten years of patient waiting, the time for fruition was at hand.
After this battle, the fate of the Sea Race might usher in some turning points.
Sea Race Royal Palace.
The Eight-Armed Demon Emperor sat high on the throne, the news of Giant Whale King's impending action having arrived.
His expression was as still as an ancient well, and he murmured inwardly, "The matter of the Treasury of Emperors is of great importance, but with the trump card I bestowed upon Giant Whale King, it should be foolproof."
At some unknown time.
A burly alien figure covered in scarlet scales appeared, clapping his hands and laughing, "Welcome the Nora Sea Race to join the Myriad Races Council family. We have already arranged a new Sea Race home. Next, let us, the oppressed, unite and turn the Wizard World upside down."
The Eight-Armed Demon Emperor said, "Let's move."
In these years, while plotting the Treasury of Emperors, after careful consideration, the Eight-Armed Demon Emperor made an important decision.
The Sea Race would join the Myriad Races Council, strategically withdrawing from Nora.
Firstly, if the Giant Whale King's assassination of Golden Overlord was exposed, then the Sea Race would inevitably bear the wrath of the Wizard Council. As a vassal race, daring to assassinate a noble Wizard genius was a great taboo!
If they continued to stay in Nora, he and the Sea Race experts could run, but what about the ordinary Sea Race?
Secondly, the Myriad Races Council was constantly putting pressure on him.
Thirdly, he had actually recognized reality long ago, but he was unwilling to admit and believe it.
The Sea Race was just a gilded canary imprisoned in Nora by the Wizards. It was indeed impossible to escape the cage by relying on their own abilities.
Even if he advanced to Sea God, he would only have slightly more say, and the outcome of being oppressed and assimilated by the Wizards could not be changed.
In the current situation, only the Myriad Races Council could realize his dream.
As for Giant Whale King, after his transaction with the Submerged Ancient City was completed and he obtained the token, someone would naturally meet him.
If Giant Whale King failed, then he would find an opportunity to rely on the power of the Myriad Races Council to destroy the Submerged Ancient City and then snatch back the token.
In short, he was determined to obtain the Treasury of Emperors. His hope of advancing to Ninth Ring lay within it.
In the hand of the scarlet-scaled alien, a sea-blue pearl appeared, containing mountains, rivers, lakes, and oceans, as if holding a world.
"This is a Ninth Ring exotic treasure, the Azure Realm. Next, move your carefully selected Sea Race into this place, and I will take you to a new world... Remember, there must be no spies from the Wizard civilization among them. Better to kill by mistake than to let one go."
The Eight-Armed Demon Emperor said, "I understand."
Central Realm.
Alien Affairs Management Department.
Hundreds of alien races, large and small, lived in the Wizard World, all managed by this department.
Sea Race Administration Bureau.
Eighth Ring Wizard Krieg, who was responsible for monitoring the movements and situation of the Sea Race, revealed a murderous intent.
According to the eyes that the Wizard Council had placed in the Sea Race, the Sea Race seemed to have major movements.
He said, "Immediately contact the Central Law Enforcement Department. There is a change in the Sea Race. The reason is currently unclear. According to previous cases of some alien races, it cannot be ruled out that they have been incited by the Myriad Races Council and want to defect from Nora. It is recommended to dispatch a Wizard battle group to implement coercive measures against the Sea Race first, and at the same time report this matter to the Great Wizard, Vast Sea Traveler, who is responsible for guarding the Sea Race."
His eyes were cold.
"It seems that in recent years, the Wizard Council has given some guys too much freedom. This group of sea barbarians is about to forget their place."
Outer Sea.
The magnificent underwater city was deserted.
Only the towering figures of the Eight-Armed Demon Emperor and the scarlet-scaled alien remained, along with some Sea Race members who were tied up.
The Eight-Armed Demon Emperor said with a complex expression, "You are members of the Sea Race, yet you betray me and work for the Wizard Council... Alas, I truly do not wish to raise my fists against my own kind."
One of the young Sea Race members, bound and tearful, cried out:
"Lord Demon Emperor, this action of yours will completely enrage the Wizard Council! Our Sea Race will have no room for reconciliation! What awaits us is a future of annihilation!"
"Yes, Lord Demon Emperor, you should be most aware of the ruthlessness and power of the Wizard Council. Doing this is courting death!"
"Why can't you accept reality?"
Hearing these words, a surge of anger rose within the Eight-Armed Demon Emperor.
"Although you possess the blood of the Sea Race, your hearts, which should belong to the Sea Race, have already deteriorated... Die!"
He raised his hand, and with a simple, unadorned punch, the group of Sea Race members and the seabed within a hundred li radius were reduced to nothingness, vanishing from the face of the earth.
The Red Scale Alien Race said, "These traitors are the most hateful! Let's go, we cannot delay."
In an instant, the two were about to遁入 the Darkness Zone.
Suddenly, an immense force of imprisonment descended, pressing down.
The Red Scale Alien Race and the Eight-Armed Demon Emperor were jolted out of the void, their expressions drastically changing.
Above the firmament.
Eight elite Wizard battle groups, each with a different style and led by a Seventh Ring Wizard, guarded all directions, a chilling aura permeating the air.
A giant "Heavenly Net" Magic Array, covering a thousand li radius, enveloped this area.
From the cloud peaks.
An extremely young-looking blue-robed male Wizard walked over expressionlessly, his terrifying Ninth Ring aura soaring into the sky.
In an instant, boundless black clouds surged above the sea, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The blue-robed male Wizard sighed, his gaze stern, and said, "Eight-Armed Demon Emperor, where are you going in such a hurry?"
