"Extend lifespan by a thousand years?"
Triss held the experimental log Levi handed her, somewhat surprised.
Levi said, "Yes, I obtained this from an ancient ruin. The owner of the ruin researched it for a long time but didn't succeed."
Triss said, "Lifespan Extension Potions, if they can't achieve relatively common ingredients, are actually useless. For example, there's a Ninth Ring Lifespan Extension Potion called the 'Turtle Longevity Potion,' which can extend lifespan by 1,500 years. In fact, the reason this potion is so powerful isn't the technical content of the potion itself, but because it uses the Turtle King Fruit, which can extend lifespan by 1,000 years after consumption. This kind of Lifespan Extension Potion is difficult to replicate because it's limited by the ingredients."
Levi said, "I looked at the person's research content. He seemed to want to research a relatively inexpensive Eighth Ring Lifespan Extension Potion, made with Phoenix bloodline and other relatively easy-to-find herbs. If it could be done, although it couldn't be popularized in the Wizard World, it could at least allow people like us to extend our lifespan by another thousand years."
Triss said, "Well, I understand, but this is an Eighth Ring potion. With our current level of Knowledge, I'm afraid we're not yet able to research it."
Levi said, "Can we bring Lucy in? I heard she's also good at the potion field."
Triss said, "Lucy herself is fine, but she's currently busy commanding the war, so she may not have time to spare."
Levi said, "It's okay, let's take it slow. Throughout history, so many Legendary Wizards and Great Wizards haven't researched a relatively universal Lifespan Extension Potion. The difficulty is conceivable."
Triss sighed, "Yes, indeed."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Levi left.
He copied the relevant Knowledge of the Thousand Year Potion for Triss as a reference, including that experimental notebook.
The ruin owner's alchemy skills were very high, and his notes were also very useful for Triss's research on other potions.
Nightmare World.
Passing through the Blood Rain Realm and continuing to cross the boundless Pale Great Domain, one can reach a blood-colored wilderness, which is the land of the Blood Sea Great Domain.
The so-called Great Domain is the territory ruled by a Nightmare Lord, with many small realms under its jurisdiction. The Blood Rain Realm is under the jurisdiction of the Pale Great Domain. The master of this domain is the Pale Monarch, whom the Blood Rain Overlord serves, who is also the owner of the white bone giant claw that Levi saw in the Ash Dragon egg.
The Blood Sea Great Domain is the territory of another monarch, named the Blood Sea Mosquito Monarch, whose main body is a Mosquito Beast, known as the "Lord of a Billion Mosquitoes."
In this Great Domain, there are many Nightmare Overlords entrenched. The Dim Webway is one of them, located underground, dark and humid all year round, like a city sewer, crisscrossing.
The overlord of the Dim Webway, whose main body is a Nightmare Rat that doesn't know how many years it has lived. It is currently lying on the soft bed of the underground kingdom, smoking a pipe, its figure hunched over.
"Cough cough, I didn't expect that junior to be so disappointing, actually scared out of his wits by an unknown little Lord."
"However, this Black Dragon Lord can mobilize outsiders on a large scale to the Nightmare World to fight for him, and has an almost Undying Body. This ability is rare."
"Now it seems that the origin of this suddenly emerging Black Dragon Lord is not simple. What does Khorne think about this?"
In the shadows, a giant dragon exuding a tyrannical aura, with a thick body and a body like a puppy, crawled out. It was the overlord of the Khorne Realm before, and its main body was the pure-blooded dragon Tyrant Dragon.
It was severely injured by the Blood Rain Overlord and almost died. Although it saved its life later, its Strength fell to the Eighth Ring realm.
It fled the Khorne Realm and became a wandering Lord, but was captured by the Dim Overlord, who had long planned to profit from it. Now it has become a prisoner, enduring humiliation and living in degradation.
Khorne said, "I heard before that a Black Dragon Lord had newly arrived at the border of the Blood Rain Realm. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. I didn't expect it to have such methods. It should be a pure-blooded dragon like me. Maybe it's an advance army sent by the Wizard World, because many of its subordinates are Wizards."
The Dim Overlord sneered.
"Hehe, Wizards? Such a weak civilization actually dares to actively invade our Nightmare World. Are they afraid they've forgotten the previous lessons?"
Before, a group of Wizards captured Pan, the descendant of the Lost Monarch, and then were permanently imprisoned in the Lost Monarch's inner labyrinth, generation after generation, without end.
Khorne's eyes moved.
"Why don't you let me meet that Black Dragon Lord?"
The Dim Overlord sneered.
"Don't play tricks. I know you want to escape from grandma's palm. Just stay here obediently. I have my own arrangements."
Black Dragon Territory.
Levi listened to his subordinates' reports, his face showing a thoughtful look.
In recent years, the growth and reproduction speed of the Flesh Mother Tree in his Black Dragon Territory suddenly increased by a large margin, and the production of Nightmare Creatures has soared year after year, but the reason is currently unknown.
"Generally speaking, this situation is either due to some change in the Nightmare World, such as a locust plague, or the Nightmare Lord's own Strength has advanced, or its negative influence in the Prime Material Plane has increased."
"It has been a long time since the Thousand Year Locust Plague, and the benefits brought by that wave of locust plagues have long been digested, so it shouldn't be external reasons, it should be because of me... No, I am gentle and kind to others, and the dust people of the Ancient Dragon Continent are also very grateful to me. Although I occasionally kill some people, few people know about it, so it shouldn't have too much negative impact."
"Could it be because I killed too many demons, causing many demons to fear me, have nightmares all day long, fear me, and dread me?"
"It shouldn't be. First of all, although I have influence among the demons, it's not that great. Besides, demons are basically chaotic creatures, fearless of anything. Fear is insignificant in their emotions."
After some reasoning, Levi couldn't figure it out.
In any case, this is a good thing.
On the one hand, it can promote the development of the Black Dragon Territory.
On the other hand, after Levi's Nightmare Dragon advances, the Proficiency experience gained from AFKing in the Nightmare World can also be improved.
The Nightmare World is vast and boundless.
Passing through the Blood Sea Great Domain, and then through several Great Domains.
Far away from the Black Dragon Territory, there is a Great Domain. Its name is the [Lost Great Domain], which is the territory of the famous Lost Monarch.
After the previous Thousand Year Locust Plague, many unowned lands and Flesh Mother Trees were bred. Among the major Lords, in order to compete for these newly born territories, wars continued and battles never ceased.
Within one of the Mother Trees, a twisted black shadow is being conceived. The power of fear from the Multiverse is turning into a constant stream of Strength, pouring into the black shadow.
"Twilight Demon King!"
"Twilight Demon King!"
"Twilight Demon King!"
It seems that countless creatures, during the day, at night, and in dreams, are all screaming in terror, calling out a name: Twilight Demon King!
They have never even seen the real Twilight Demon King, nor do they know who the Twilight Demon King is.
It's just because of word of mouth, making it a "urban legend"-like existence, so that as long as the four words "Twilight Demon King" are mentioned, they will be afraid, scared, and tremble.
Mysterious and vast, bizarre and colorful Nightmare World. In this unknown corner, a new "Nightmare Creature" is quietly being conceived.
Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
In addition to cultivation and research, Levi's few pastimes are checking memory discs.
On the one hand, it is to collect useful intelligence, spells, Knowledge, etc., and on the other hand, it is entertainment, similar to watching movies, which is also quite interesting. Most of the time, he only looks at Sixth Ring or higher discs, and doesn't bother with the lower ones.
"Master, please take a look at this disc."
Lyon handed a Fifth-Order Flame Demon's disc to Levi.
Levi took it and checked it, his expression changed slightly.
In the picture, there is an endless red wasteland.
A Fifth-Order Flame Demon is mixed in the army, seemingly fleeing for its life. Through its perspective, Levi saw a Seventh-Order mid-stage Flame Demon being killed by a red-robed Wizard with a spell.
The red-robed Wizard's face could not be seen clearly, but from the iconic crimson Wizard Tower, Levi knew his identity.
"Flame Attendant Gorvin!"
"This person is actually in the Flame Mountain World!"
From the memory disc, it can be seen that at the beginning of the Bloody Battle, this Fifth-Order Flame Demon followed the army and invaded the Flame Mountain World. There, it encountered the Flame Attendant. After that battle, the demon managed to escape, but was conscripted into the Burning Crusade Army and came to the God Forsaken Continent.
Levi didn't know when he killed this demon, but by chance, he actually learned the whereabouts of the Flame Attendant.
Honestly, Levi had already given up hope. He had been secretly searching for a long time, but had not seen that person.
The Wizard World is so big, and the Flame Attendant is determined to hide, coupled with the cover of his powerful family forces, Levi really couldn't find him.
So he had already made plans to leave regrets, treating this person as a second Boar Knight.
Unexpectedly, when god closes a door, he opens a window.
All of this felt like, in the depths of the unknown, the karmic connection between him and the Flame Attendant hadn't been severed! "Hahahaha, Flame Mountain World, so you were hiding here, even afraid to sign up for the Demon Slaying Ranking, afraid I'd find you."
Levi calculated with his fingers; the last time he saw the Flame Attendant was more than three hundred years ago. Times had changed, and with his talent, he should have already advanced to a Seventh Ring senior Wizard. But he should still be quite far from Seventh Ring completion.
In any case, he could now destroy such a character with a flip of his hand. With his Wander the Void speed, it wouldn't even take a year to reach the Flame Mountain World.
To avoid any regrets, after divining the situation in advance and specifically searching for a lot of information about the Flame Mountain World, confirming that there was no danger in this trip, Levi left the Wizard World.
A year later.
Flame Mountain World.
Levi descended here, his brow furrowed.
As far as the eye could see, this world was teeming with demonic energy, unusually dense.
A faint sense of danger emanated, indicating that powerful Eighth-Order demons might be stationed here.
"It seems the Wizard Council has already abandoned it."
With the Bloody Battle progressing to this point, a quarter of the lost plane federations had already fallen. This was a helpless move; the scale of the Bloody Battle far exceeded the previous rampage of the Four Evil Gods in the Five Realms Federation.
To concentrate their forces on defending the Wizard World, the Wizard Council certainly couldn't station too many troops in other plane federations.
To this day, the resources and alien races of these planes had basically been transported back to the Wizard World, now transformed into demon nests and garrison areas.
"The meeting between that demon and the Flame Attendant was hundreds of years ago; I wonder if he's still here."
Levi's Hermit Rune flickered, intending to search for the Flame Attendant in a carpet-like manner. If there were no clues, he would return home. He wouldn't disturb the demons here, lest he be targeted by a Ninth-Order demon. That would be a case of losing more than he gained; revenge wasn't as important as his life.
Time flew by.
A month passed.
Levi roughly swept through the Flame Mountain World. In the end, he basically confirmed that the Flame Attendant had already left this place.
"Forget it, forget it, let's go back... Life in this world, it's impossible for everything to go as one wishes."
Levi quietly left.
The boundless Darkness Zone.
Scorched Flame World.
This place was already very far from Nora.
In the Darkness Zone, a scarlet Flame Wizard Tower floated quietly. The Flame Attendant looked at the scarlet world in the deep space, his face filled with joy.
After breaking through to the Seventh Ring senior realm, the Flame Attendant, having witnessed Levi's growth potential, abandoned his revenge plan.
He felt that the Flame Mountain World was bound to fall under the demon army, so he left there in advance.
Relying on the Wizard Tower, he wandered the Darkness Zone, heading towards more distant places, seeking a Land of Peach Blossoms suitable for his cultivation.
In a flash, a century passed. During this time, although he encountered many dangers, he managed to overcome them all without any major incidents.
"When the heavens close all doors, a path is sure to open. In the vast darkness, there is actually such a treasure land. Although it is not large, it is suitable for my cultivation and is very safe. Apart from some Black Beasts, there are no signs of demon invasion. It seems there are traces of indigenous civilization. If I enslave them, they can also find resources for me."
Ancient Dragon Continent.
Levi, having returned without success, arrived safely.
This matter was just a small episode for him, and he didn't pay it any attention at all.
In the blink of an eye, four years passed quickly.
Nora Calendar 454.
The 240th year of the Bloody Battle.
Levi's mental Strength had reached 10520, less than five hundred away from Seventh Ring completion.
In these years, his Wild Voice and Shadow Wind had been cultivated to Fifteenth-Order, and the Coin of Transferring Luck spell had also been cultivated to the Sixteenth-Order Seventh Ring level, already capable of casting luck-transferring spells on himself as a Seventh Ring Wizard.
According to the spell's description, it has the effect of turning bad luck into good luck after casting. However, Levi tried it and didn't see any difference.
Spells related to fate are too profound. Sometimes, being in the midst of it, one's view is obscured, making it difficult to see the whole picture.
He believed that since the Abyss Walker had asked him to focus on learning it, this spell must have unexpected effects.
Just like the Lovers Rune, there is destiny in the dark. This itself is a kind of rule, but it is not as obvious as Earth-Fire Wind-Water.
Over the years, Levi had learned another Seventh Ring supreme spell, which belonged to the Light Faction, but also involved spatial Knowledge, called "Banishing Light."
After casting, there is a chance to banish dark creatures, including demons, to a cage-like space-time dimension, exiling them for a period of time until the spell's effect dissipates, and then they can return to the real world. During this period, the Wizard can take the opportunity to escape.
This spell is mainly cast on powerful demons that the Wizard cannot defeat. As long as it is practiced to the limit, after hitting, it has a 90% chance of successfully banishing demons of the same realm.
For those exceeding one major realm, it has a 30% chance of success, and for those exceeding two major realms, there is also a 10% chance of success, but it is ineffective against Tenth-Order demons.
In other words, as long as Levi masters it, after hitting, there is a one-tenth probability that a Ninth-Order demon will be banished for a period of time, allowing him to escape calmly.
Of course, the length of the banishment will also be shortened as the demon's Strength increases.
This is the same type of spell as the Freezing Ice Faction's "Absolute Zero." "Absolute Zero" involves some of the Way of Time, while "Banishing Light" involves the Way of Space, both of which are extremely difficult to cultivate.
Once these two spells are mastered, Levi's ability to save his life will be greatly improved. Of course, it is not completely invincible, after all, it still requires casting time and successful hits. Ninth-Order existences are not fools and will not wait to be hit by spells, but it is still a means.
At the same time.
Levi's Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique also advanced to the mid-Seventh Ring. The power of various spell abilities has been improved. The domain range diameter of Scarlet Blood Hell has increased to 12 kilometers.
The Strength Rune has been upgraded to Sixteenth-Order, with a Strength increase of 200%. The Moon Rune has been upgraded to Ninth-Order, with a Lifespan increase of 80%. The Fool Rune has been upgraded to Seventh-Order, with a 60% increase in the power of fooling and predicting. The Magic Rune has been upgraded to Fifth-Order, with a 40% increase in casting speed.
The current Rune Words are already different from the original intention of the original author when he created them. Under the effect of the Proficiency Panel, they have embarked on a path that the original author had never envisioned.
Even if the original author were alive, his achievements would be difficult to compare with Levi. After all, he only compiled and translated the Starforger Civilization's Language of the Stars, and his own cultivation may not be higher than Levi's.
"Now that the Fool Rune has been upgraded, I'll see who wants to harm me again."
Levi's consciousness entered his mind, only to see a scene of deathly aura and Black Mountain densely covered on the pig's face again.
"It should be hell, but I don't know exactly where."
He imprinted this picture, and then summoned the two skeletons, Little Pink and Little Black.
"You take this stone slab to the Form Realm Witch and ask her to help me see where this is."
Little Pink nodded obediently, pulled Little Black, and returned to hell.
At the same time, they also brought news from his second brother.
Levi's face showed joy after reading it.
"Second brother has already imprinted 21 Wizard Marks, not far from 22. It seems that he can advance to Seventh Ring within a hundred years, and he is a rare body refiner and spell dual cultivator in ancient and modern times."
After calculating, the Purgatory Demon Sword had indeed been stuck at the Sixth Ring peak for several hundred years for the sake of the 22 Wizard Marks. Other genius Wizards would definitely not have the courage, patience, and capital.
"My second brother has the potential of a Legendary Wizard!"
Not long after, news came from the Hell Three Sisters.
They said that the place Levi saw seemed to be on the eighth level of hell, but they couldn't say exactly where it was for the time being and had already sent people to investigate.
Two years later.
Nora Calendar 456, Bloody Battle 242.
Cultivation knows no years, time passes without knowing it, Levi is 880 years old.
With such a luxurious Secret Medicine lineup as the Black Lotus Beast, Scaled Dragon, and Fire-Breathing Dragon, the Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique is becoming more and more smooth, not far from the late Seventh Ring.
The Golden Radiance Dragon is the same. The combination of Four-Legged Snake and Earth Rend Dragon is much better than the previous Sixth Ring Secret Medicine.
Although the Death Ember Dragon Breathing Technique broke through to the Seventh Ring later, it has also begun to accelerate under the combination of Black Phoenix, Ash Dragon, and Fire-Breathing Dragon, not far from the mid-Seventh Ring.
Although the Ash Dragon is young and low in level, it is, after all, a pure-blooded dragon, and its Secret Medicine effect is still very good. However, Levi is worried that it will not grow up, so he always combines it with other fire-type dragons.
The Wind Shape Dragon Secret Medicine of the Heavenly King Dragon has been used up. The Heavenly Leisure Dragon General Wind Dust Dragon is still sleeping. Levi doesn't dare to forcibly wake it up, so as not to delay its evolution.
He had previously observed its situation and faintly felt a very pure dragon might. When it wakes up, it may usher in earth-shaking changes and may become the first dragon general of the Dragon Palace!
The Scarlet Dragon also used the [Vampire Dragon] Secret Medicine. Although it's not Seventh-Order, it can slowly cultivate, so Levi isn't too worried.
What makes him somewhat anxious is the breakthrough of the [Nightmare Dragon]. It's been a long time since there was news of the Nightmare Dragon race. Seeing that the other breathing techniques are almost at the mid-Seventh-Order, it still hasn't advanced.
He began to dispatch more subordinates to search for information about the Nightmare Dragon race. At the same time, he arranged for dedicated personnel to review and organize Lyon's memory discs, regardless of their quality.
The information he previously obtained about the Flame Attendant served as a reminder to Levi that even low-level beings might have memories that could be useful to him.
Every living being is a point, seemingly insignificant, but a part of the myriad beings.
They more or less intersect with other points, forming a complex network of interpersonal and causal relationships.
Sorting out useful information, organizing and summarizing it for him to review and report, is the job of these people.
In recent years, the three clones and Hundred Flowers have been thriving in the God Forsaken Continent, each carrying huge bounties, becoming thorns in the side of the demons, with encirclements and counter-encirclements playing out repeatedly.
Ms. Lucy is also somewhat interested in the Thousand Year Potion, but she is busy with the war and cannot personally participate in the research. Therefore, she compiled some of her past insights and experiences in Lifespan Extension Potion research into knowledge notes, as a return gift, and sent them to Levi and Triss.
In addition to cultivation, Levi would use the Nightmare World to jointly study potions with Triss and share Knowledge. Hundred Flowers would also participate in such discussions during her leisure time.
Although progress is slow, everyone has gained some understanding of the basic knowledge and theory of Lifespan Extension Potions.
One day.
Inside the tower of the Nightmare World.
Levi and Triss had just finished a pleasant potion discussion.
Before long, a subordinate reported.
"Lord, we have discovered a clue about the Nightmare Dragon race. In the easternmost part of the Pale Great Domain, bordering the Blood Sea Great Domain, there is a Grau City. The Lord of the city is Skinner Ben, and he keeps a dragon in the city called [Golden Spear Angang], which should be the Nightmare Dragon race that you need."
Levi couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.
"Good, finally there's news."
The Blood Rain Realm alone is vast and boundless, not to mention the entire Pale Great Domain. The size of the Nightmare World is unimaginable. Most Nightmare Lords spend their entire lives on their own small plot of land, rarely traveling far.
His Black Dragon Territory is located in the remote area of the Pale Great Domain, requiring him to traverse an entire Great Domain to reach Grau City. But for the sake of advancement, he has no choice.
Without delay, he told everyone to take care of the territory, and troubled Triss to look after it for him, then took Lope and began his first long journey in the Nightmare World.
Grau City.
Also known as the "Golden City" or the "City of Wealth."
Lope transformed into an ugly little water monkey, lying on Levi's shoulder, looking at the city ahead.
According to the information Levi had, the Lord of Grau City is an Eighth-Order powerhouse. Its true form is a monster called [Skinner].
Skinner's real name is Ben. It is dictatorial, brutal, stingy, and loves to exploit, plunder, and leech.
The distant Grau City is different from most Nightmare cities Levi has seen. Many steampunk-style buildings, factories, and chimneys stand tall, with black smoke billowing straight into the sky.
Along the way, all that could be seen were numb-faced, mechanical, zombie-like humanoid Nightmare Creatures. They were ragged, skinny, and their faces had no features, resembling a Gold Coin.
In the very center of the Gold Coin was engraved a picture of a human wearing a top hat, with a big belly, and a tailcoat. It smiled, revealing a mouthful of gold teeth.
[Welcome to the City of Wealth, the City of Dreams!]
Such a tempting phrase floated in the sky above the city. Levi seemed to see endless Gold Coins waving at him.
The Nightmare World is full of wonders.
Levi was already used to these things.
He probably knew how the Lord of Grau City was born.
"Skinner Ben is an early Eighth-Order powerhouse, with strength similar to the Black Death King. Although I'm not afraid of it, there's no need to confront it head-on. If I die, I'll have to resurrect in the Black Dragon Territory and run back from thousands of miles away, which is too troublesome..."
He lurked nearby, observing the situation in the city, and killed a Gold Coin person to have Lyon read its memories.
After watching the disc, he muttered to himself.
"Skinner Ben loves Gold Coins. Every seven days, it leaves the city to collect Gold Coins from its territory. This day is called [Grace Day]... Then I'll make my move on this day."
The Golden Spear is a giant dragon that Skinner captured in the Chaotic Wilderness. It is rumored that it is covered in golden armor, inlaid with golden teeth, and covered with golden dragon wings, all personally crafted for it by Skinner.
It was imprisoned in a giant factory beneath Grau City. Inside the factory, there were many outlanders from the Nightmare World captured by Skinner Ben.
Like the Human-Faced Spider, many Nightmare Lords would invade multiple planes, dragging some outlanders into the Nightmare World, keeping them like livestock, and providing "emotional value."
But unlike those Levi brought in, these poor outlanders would truly die if they died in the Nightmare World.
Levi's [Nightmare Lord] ability was synthesized through the Proficiency Panel and was unique.
Several days later.
Above Grau City.
A figure laughing heartily, dragging a sack, left the city, muttering to itself, "Today is another fulfilling and wonderful day."
In the shadows, Levi watched this powerhouse leave.
"Skinner Ben is going to pick up money with his sack."
"Work faster!"
"I haven't even rested, and you damned servants dare to rest."
Inside a giant factory of unknown production, a group of outlanders of various shapes looked at the golden dragon hovering in mid-air with fear.
Its shape was close to the most typical evil dragon, similar to a Fire-Breathing Dragon, but covered in gold and silver, even more magnificent.
"I'm so tired, Great Dragon, I request a break."
An outlander who appeared to be human said.
The dragon narrowed its eyes, emitting a dangerous aura.
"Sure, take a break now, and then make up for double the work time."
The human hesitated, "But Great Dragon, there are only 24 hours in a day... how can I make up double?"
The dragon snorted coldly.
"I don't care, that's the order. If you don't work hard, how will I maintain this golden armor?"
The human dared not rest, continuing to do meaningless work in the factory. Oh, God, what the hell are they even producing here?
"When will this nightmare end?"
"I want to go home!"
"I'm so tired!"
Countless negative emotions—fear, despair, helplessness, resentment—formed wisps of invisible power, rushing out of those factories, pouring into the Flesh Mother Tree within the territory, nourishing the Nightmare Lord, and also giving birth to more Nightmare Creatures.
"Late Seventh-Order, stronger than I imagined, but I'm not sure if it's a Dragon Spawn of the Khorne Overlord."
After hesitating for a moment, Levi still made his move.
His figure stepped out, appearing out of thin air.
His entire being shot towards the Golden Spear like a beam of light. Sensing the danger, the Golden Spear's golden armor shone brightly, forming a golden barrier. The armor on the dragon, said to be gold, was actually a special precious metal from the Nightmare World, different from the gold spoken of by mortals in the material plane.
Crack.
Levi's fist transformed into a [Scarlet Drill], spinning violently.
The barrier, strong enough to withstand a full blow from a late Seventh-Order, shattered in an instant. Levi grabbed the Golden Spear's tail, bursting with strength, and the two figures blasted through the factory's dome, flying into the sky.
"Who are you? I am Skinner Ben's pet!"
The Golden Spear was still confused about the situation.
Levi ignored it, his fist the size of a sandbag smashing into the Golden Spear's head, the golden armor cracking, and several gold teeth being knocked out.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
The Golden Spear cried out in pain.
It tried to escape but was sucked into the [Gluttony Pouch].
The Gluttony Pouch was now a Seventh Ring Wizard Tool, trapping this dragon for a while was not a problem. This place was not suitable for a long stay. Levi put the golden dragon in the bag, carried it on his shoulder, and left Grau City on the "Silver Chariot."
After a bout of void traversal, he was already tens of thousands of miles away in no time.
The Golden Spear broke through the Gluttony Pouch's seal, and it opened its mouth to spew out endless golden flames. Wherever the flames swept, molten gold solidified, plating its surface with a layer of gold.
Levi's Golden Gravity dispersed the flames, and Lope transformed into a three-thousand-meter giant ape, ambushing from behind the Golden Spear!
Boom! After a heavy blow, the Golden Spear's golden helmet completely cracked, its head buzzed, and it crashed to the ground.
Levi snapped his fingers, and a terrifying pillar of thunder struck from the sky, engulfing the Golden Spear. A sea of thunder raged, destroying everything.
In just a few rounds, this late Seventh-Order dragon was easily taken down by Levi and Lope, looking half-dead.
"Who exactly are you?"
The Golden Spear just wanted to figure out this question.
Levi landed on the ground, crimson flames burning in his palm, and behind him emerged the domineering, earth-shattering Six Dragons phantoms. The dragon might twisted together, forming a tide that crashed into the Golden Spear's mind.
"I am your master. Acknowledge me as your master, and you may live."
The Golden Spear lamented, "Fine, I acknowledge you, but why did you have to attack me right away?"
As soon as it finished acknowledging its master, Levi sensed an immense sense of danger descending.
"Skinner Ben is here!"
The heavens and earth collapsed, and golden lights fell from the sky, surrounding Levi and sealing off the void.
A Gold Coin pierced through the air, transforming into a gentlemanly figure in a suit and top hat.
He smiled, a hidden dagger in his smile, and said, "Do you know who I am? How dare you kidnap my pet."
Without a word, Levi snapped his fingers again.
Boom, boom! Two consecutive thunderbolts struck!
Skinner Ben, with elegant dance steps, actually dodged Levi's attacks. He flicked his finger, and a Gold Coin rushed straight for Levi's face.
Levi's figure flickered, and the Gold Coin exploded!
A golden shockwave swept across a hundred miles, instantly tearing through several layers of his protective force fields, sending him flying. Even the Armor of Immortality trembled and buzzed, clearly at its limit, but it still held.
"This Skinner is strong."
Levi raised his hand, and the Nine-Colored Emperor emerged from between heaven and earth, standing behind him. Lope also emerged from the void, smashing his bone club towards Skinner Ben! Countless Gold Coins flew out from Skinner Ben's body, surrounding him.
Duang!
Lope's bone club was almost bounced away. It steadied itself, watching Skinner Ben as if facing a great enemy.
On the other side, the Maiya Spirit and the Wind Spirit Soldiers howled as they came, their innate spells booming, and the Emperor Sword slashed down from the sky!
Facing an Eighth-Order enemy, Levi dared not be careless.
The terrifying attacks came, and Skinner Ben's expression changed slightly. He clearly hadn't expected that this mid-Seventh-Order enemy could have such strength.
Rumble! Gold Coins flew out, colliding with Levi's dazzling innate spells and Primal Soul spells, exploding like brilliant fireworks. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, an apocalyptic scene emerged.
The Black Soul Magic Tower flew out, and Levi sat atop it. The Death Storm, covering hundreds of miles, pulled Skinner Ben into it. Two elusive Dark Evil Souls condensed their forms, and death scythes slashed towards Skinner Ben.
This Skinner was also formidable. No matter what means Levi used, he could dissolve them with Gold Coins.
"A Wizard Tower… Looks like you're a foreigner."
A Gold Coin appeared in Skinner Ben's hand. His figure changed, tearing through his tailcoat, transforming into a hideous creature three meters tall with sharp claws and a scarlet tongue flicking out.
His body was covered in scales made of Gold Coins, and within those Gold Coins were distorted faces—the faces of those he had skinned to death.
In an instant, tens of thousands of twisted Evil Spirits swept towards Levi. Levi raised his hand, and the Shadow Dragon Multitude came out in full force. Whether in quantity or quality, they surpassed his motley crew.
Relying on the Wizard Tower and many other means, Levi fought Skinner Ben to a standstill. Lope also harassed the opponent from time to time.
But as a Skinner, he would never allow his things to be taken away. This was worse than killing him.
As time passed, with the Heavenly King Dragon's powerful endurance and stamina, and the Death Ember Dragon's Undying Body, Levi gradually gained the upper hand.
Skinner Ben's omnipotent Gold Coins were not endless. Each one used was one less, and they took a long time to condense. The Gold Coin scales on his body were now a third less than before.
As an Eighth-Order powerhouse, the Skinner was somewhat horrified that it had been unable to take down its enemy for so long. It had dominated this area for so many years, and this was the first time it had encountered such a situation.
On the other hand, Levi fought more and more bravely.
Seven Suns Descend!
Thunder Beast Art! This Seventh Ring spell, which he had trained to the limit, was no less powerful than a regular Eighth Ring ordinary spell. Under such a barrage, the Skinner was already showing signs of retreat.
It hardened its heart and sacrificed another pile of Gold Coins, which exploded one after another. Levi did not dare to resist head-on. He used the evasive techniques of the Peng Serpent Way to avoid the core impact, and his arm transformed into a long spear! Spear Absolute Path + Peng Serpent Way! At this moment, he was the god of spearmanship, walking through a hail of bullets! A bit of cold light arrived first, and then the spear shot out like a dragon!
The Skinner's head was actually pierced by Levi, and its body exploded, scattering into countless Gold Coins. Its voice floated over: "I will not let you go!"
Boom! The barrier seal woven by Levi was suddenly shattered.
He looked at Lope, who was not lightly injured, and the Golden Spear Angang, who was trembling in the corner, and quickly left with them. The Skinner was not dead. The other party's methods were strange, not those of an ordinary early-stage Eighth-Order.
Tens of thousands of miles away from the battlefield.
Someone lost a Gold Coin in the wilderness.
A moment later, the Gold Coin transformed into a golden dimensional halo, from which emerged a scarred figure, none other than Skinner Ben.
"I was actually forced to this point by a Seventh-Order..."
The Skinner put away the Gold Coin and quickly left. It was seriously injured and dared not stay in the wilderness.
Time flew by, and after some running around, Levi successfully kidnapped the Golden Spear and returned to the Black Dragon Territory. It was far from Grau City, so he was not too worried that the Skinner would come looking for trouble.
If the Skinner had not run away and fought him to the death, the one who would have died would definitely have been the Skinner. After this battle, Levi was even more confident in his Strength.
He placed the Golden Spear in the Black Dragon Territory and had Lope keep an eye on it.
After taking the Bloodline Essence, he returned to the real world.
Now everything was ready, all that was left was to advance.
Two years later.
Nora Calendar 458.
Bloody Battle 244.
Good news came from the God Forsaken Continent that the Burning Crusade Army had suffered a major defeat in the all-out war with the Deep Blue Legion, losing nearly ten Eighth-Order powerhouses in succession. On the other hand, the Wizards had only suffered one death and four injuries.
Most importantly, Lucy found the hiding place of Nova, the leader of the Burning Crusade Army, and the two broke out in an earth-shattering battle.
To the surprise of many, Nova was actually a Ninth-Order Demon King who had been hiding his Strength. Lucy was in a dangerous situation, but she relied on powerful means to deal with him for a long time. Relying on Lucy's containment, Nova died under the Dragon Flame Divine Wizard's "Dragon Flame" attack.
After making great contributions, Lucy topped the Ninth-Order Demon Slaying Ranking. Then, leading the legion, she pursued the victory and uprooted many Demon Nests on the God Forsaken Continent one by one.
This expeditionary leader amazed the Wizarding World.
However, the victory of this battle was only the tip of the iceberg of the Bloody Battle. In other parts of the Wizarding World, demonic disasters occurred frequently, and the concentration of demonic energy in Nora was steadily increasing over the course of two hundred years. The God Forsaken Continent had been transformed into a human Abyss Magic Soil.
The Bloody Battle had not yet succeeded, and the Wizarding World still needed to work hard.
