Ancient Dragon Continent.
Outer Sea.
Levi opened his eyes.
Within his inner world, the Crimson Emperor Divine Palace was undergoing earth-shattering changes, constantly growing and expanding. The Crimson Emperor Dragon Seed, however, remained dormant within a giant crimson egg.
Levi's Strength was steadily increasing. The Blood Qi within his muscles surged, collided, overflowed, and erupted, transforming into crimson flames that were swept into the sky by the sea breeze! Levi shifted between his human form and Red Emperor Dragon form, flashing like a slideshow.
His physical body expanded like an inflating balloon, reaching hundreds of meters in height, standing on the island like a mountain.
"I've just advanced, and I can't control this power freely yet. I should focus on getting through this tribulation first. Advancing to Seventh Ring requires enduring a calamity. Creating such a heaven-defying breathing technique comes at a price."
Just like Wizards advancing to Seventh Ring, ordinary Knights advancing to Seventh Ring didn't require such a calamity, only those who created their own path like Levi did.
He raised his head, gazing at the crimson dragon with a wingspan of a thousand meters in the sky, its eyes deep and locked with Levi's.
"Come! Red Lotus Dragon!"
The muscles in the legs of the Giant Levi exploded, launching him into the air. The surging energy rippled outwards, sweeping across the island and spreading outwards.
In the distance, the protective shield of the Summer Flower Tower lit up, gently deflecting the shockwave. Hundred Flowers watched Levi, a hint of worry in her heart.
If Levi were advancing to Seventh Ring as a Wizard, she wouldn't be worried at all, after all, the Wizard path was well-established, and Levi possessed the monstrous Infinite Primal Soul.
But the Seventh Ring for a Knight, the road ahead was filled with unknowns, and no one knew what would happen next.
"Hang in there."
High in the sky, the Giant Levi threw a punch, the white air wave mixed with flames, turning into a channel, swept away!
The Red Lotus Dragon's wings billowed, Red Lotus-shaped flames emerged from the void, seemingly slow, but instantly appeared in front of Levi!
Rumble! The Red Lotus exploded, turning into a mushroom cloud of karmic fire!
Everything within the blast radius was instantly annihilated!
Even Levi's basic defense, enhanced by the Sixth Ring Golden Radiance Dragon, was blasted into a bloody mess, charred black! Hundred Flowers' eyes grew anxious.
"How does this tribulation of advancing from Sixth Ring to Seventh Ring feel even more difficult than advancing from Fifth Ring to Sixth Ring?"
The next moment.
The Death Ember Dragon's powerful healing ability restored Levi's body.
The Red Lotus Dragon, struck by Levi's fist wind, was not faring well either, tumbling in mid-air, scales falling like sand, barely managing to stabilize itself.
These two behemoths fought without dodging, a true head-on collision.
In fact, at this level of combat, ordinary dodging was meaningless.
On one hand, it was impossible to dodge, and on the other hand, it could delay the opportunity to strike.
Levi also realized that the Seventh Ring tribulation was a bit more difficult than he had imagined.
The growth of heaven-defying existences became more difficult as they progressed, one wrong step could lead to an abyss, a complete and utter destruction!
As a mythical existence that once truly existed, how could the Red Lotus Dragon be weak?
Even if it descended in the form of a projection across countless ages, he couldn't afford to be careless.
Rumble! Another fierce collision, the Red Dragon Ironcleaver pierced into the Red Lotus Dragon's chest like a hot knife through butter!
Magma-like blood flowed freely, turning into flames.
Boom! The Wind of the Sun swept even more violently around the Red Lotus Dragon! Levi's body was rapidly carbonized, shattered, turned into ashes, exposing flesh and bones.
"With my lifelong insights, with my six hundred years of effort, War King's Compendium! The King is Supreme!"
Courage, domineering, anger, the three great auras of humanity! Sun, Moon, Star, the three great auras of the Sky!
The six auras combined, transforming into a War King aura that was fearless, indomitable, and looked down upon the world!
Roar! A giant badger phantom, full of killing intent and fearlessness, roared behind Levi!
This was the ninth layer of the War King's Compendium, [The King is Supreme], the ultimate meaning of this battle technique! All along, Levi was always a little short of completely mastering "The King is Supreme".
Today, in the peak battle with the Red Lotus Dragon, he finally mastered it, reaching the pinnacle!
The flesh and blood around him rapidly recovered to their original state, and an unparalleled aura erupted! Tear!
A red pillar of light that pierced the sky split the Red Lotus Dragon in half from top to bottom.
The Red Lotus Dragon's calm eyes dimmed, and then it transformed into a sky full of fire elemental power, disappearing without a trace.
The other Lords of Blood Tribulation emerged one by one, only to be shattered by Levi's domineering and unmatched sword light.
After resolving these, Levi gasped for breath, quickly recovering his strength.
There was still a Darkness Tribulation that he needed to break. The form of this tribulation was completely random, and no one could guess it. He could only wait, responding to all changes with constancy.
"Wanting to create something from nothing, creating a new and powerful bloodline, the intensity of future tribulations may become increasingly powerful. If I hadn't simultaneously cultivated the breathing techniques of the other five dimensions, even if the Red Emperor Dragon was strong, there would still be a risk of being killed by the Darkness Zone."
The stronger the Red Emperor Dragon, the stronger the power of the Lords of Blood Tribulation condensed by this world.
In short, it was all targeted at Levi.
Seeing Levi safely overcome the Blood Tribulation, Hundred Flowers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If it were her, she might need to use all her strength, Wizard artifacts, and exotic treasures to defeat that terrifying Red Emperor Dragon phantom.
Levi could achieve a complete victory with just divine weapons, battle techniques, and his physical body. He was still that perverted freak genius!
Before Levi could rest for a moment, the fire elemental power between heaven and earth began to converge towards the sky again.
A huge eyeball with a diameter of about a mile appeared in the void. As the eye opened a crack, its emotionless pupil was revealed!
Rumble! The flames within a hundred miles began to stir and churn.
The entire island instantly turned into lava under the high temperature, engulfing Levi.
Even with Levi's fire elemental resistance from his Red Emperor Dragon Body, he felt an unbearable high temperature.
"This is the Darkness Tribulation?"
The Blood Qi around him surged, forging Blood Source True Armor, and he held Red Dragon Ironcleaver in his palm, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"Perfect, I wasn't satisfied just now. Come on, let me see what kind of trouble you're causing this time!"
The sense of danger that this Darkness Tribulation brought to Levi was far from comparable to the previous minor disturbances, even more dangerous than the appearance of the Red Lotus Dragon just now.
The red eye looked towards Levi.
Levi felt a chill down his spine! Boom! He was struck hard, and his entire body flew backwards for a hundred miles across the sea! He looked at his chest, which had been pierced through, with calm eyes.
At the place where he had just stood, a fiery figure that was indistinguishable in appearance but similar to Levi stood silently.
"This tribulation? Is it my mirror image?"
Levi understood something.
This figure was composed of pure flames, without flesh and blood, like an avatar of fire.
The large hole in his chest healed as before. For him, who possessed the Undying Body, this was just a minor injury.
Boom! Levi held Red Dragon Ironcleaver.
The fiery figure held a long sword condensed from flames!
Sword lights crossed, collided, and metal clanged!
"Interesting, this fiery figure seems to have also mastered battle techniques."
Levi thought to himself, he suddenly jumped up, and the figure attacked again! "The King is Supreme!"
The domineering greatsword slashed out! The fiery figure's long sword was shattered, and its body was sent flying by Levi, cut in half at the waist.
The next moment.
The fiery figure silently snapped its fingers and returned to its original state.
Levi's expression was solemn as he looked at the emotionless red eyeball in the sky, embedded in the hundred-mile sea of fire, like a god.
Levi slashed open the attacking fiery figure again with his sword, and then he shot out, his terrifying sword energy erupting, transforming into a red pillar of light that shot straight into the sky!
This sword was to slash at that eyeball!
Levi felt that the key to this battle lay here! That crimson eyeball quietly watched Levi's slash, and then an invisible, scorching wave rippled out!
Before the crimson beam of light could even get close to it, it shattered inch by inch, eventually disappearing like a clay ox entering the sea.
Levi's expression changed slightly.
Behind him, the crimson flame figure attacked once again, plunging its longsword into Levi's heart. It suddenly twisted the blade, and Levi split in two!
In the blood mist, Levi's figure reappeared once more.
"This can't go on. Once my Death Ember Dragon Power is exhausted, even the Undying Body won't save me. This Darkness Zone is playing for real."
The crimson flame figure attacked again. Levi blocked with his greatsword, and then his immense Strength erupted. Under the Whale Emperor Power Canon, his figure expanded once more!
Boom! The crimson flame figure was blasted away.
Levi instantly flashed behind it and threw a punch! The force of the punch exploded!
The crimson flame figure, without a doubt, turned into a sky full of flames, shattered by the immense Strength.
Then it gathered together again, but Levi could feel that its aura was weaker.
"It seems its immortality has its limits."
Levi immediately went all out. He had to eliminate this mirror image of himself first.
If the mirror image disappeared and still couldn't solve the crimson eyeball, then he would have to think of other ways.
Outside the battlefield, Hundred Flowers didn't dare to blink, focusing on the situation.
"What is this crimson eyeball? Is it a manifestation of some kind of rule or will?"
She wondered in her heart.
As far as she knew, when advancing to Great Wizard, every Wizard would experience different tribulations. One type was the monsters that were the embodiment of the elemental rules of their respective factions, known as "Elemental Tribulation Lords."
Levi's situation was somewhat similar, but the two should still be fundamentally different.
Boom! After another dull sword slash, the crimson flame figure was once again destroyed, both sword and person. In terms of raw power, it was still much weaker than Levi.
Even if its mirror image replicated Levi's Red Emperor Dragon abilities, it was useless, because Levi also had the Golden Radiance Dragon's defense, the Sky Dragon's endurance, the Death Ember Dragon's physique...
After this collapse, the crimson flame figure could no longer rise and could not condense.
High in the Sky.
The crimson eyeball, at some point, was already full of cracks, and rays of fire were projecting from them.
Levi knew that this tribulation was at its end.
He pointed his longsword at the eyeball, and another Red Flame Sword Qi spurted out!
Boom! This time, the eyeball did not resist. Under the Sword Qi, it turned to ashes, and that sense of danger disappeared without a trace.
"The Darkness Tribulation is over."
Levi let out a long breath, and then a sense of fatigue washed over him. He gently landed.
Hundred Flowers asked:
"Is it over?"
Levi nodded.
Hundred Flowers quickly went over, picked Levi up, and left this sea area, returning to the Ancient Dragon Continent.
The island of seclusion had long since disappeared, sinking into the seabed.
Emperor Palace.
Levi took some potions and ate some high-energy food to restore his Strength, but the mental fatigue would take time to recover.
Within his body, the surging Red Emperor Dragon Blood Qi was several times greater than before his advancement, and the quality was also higher.
Under the scouring of this Blood Qi, the Crimson Emperor Divine Palace was dissolving and disintegrating at an extremely slow rate, invisible to the naked eye, turning into miniature Divine Palaces, and then pouring into Levi's cells. If one looked closely, each cell was a world, with a Divine Palace located within it.
The surface of the Divine Palace was piled with bricks of six colors.
Every brick and tile surface is engraved with crimson flame runes that resemble fire.
"Divine Palace of Flesh, True Flame Sigil, these are the two fundamental elements of the Crimson Emperor Dragon Power!"
After the Seventh Ring, Levi began to gradually dissect and understand the essence of the Red Emperor Dragon.
"The ultimate of Strength, the World Ender Flame Dragon!"
"The Red Emperor Dragon I created is, in essence, the embodiment of flame and Strength! Therefore, no matter how the abilities of the Red Emperor Dragon change, they all remain true to their origin and are inseparable from these two elements."
"Strength, Constitution, Stamina, Perception, Speed, Defense, these are the six basic forces of physical cultivation, and their basic unit is the [Divine Palace of Flesh]!"
"And supernatural elemental forces such as flame, Thunder, hurricane, and ocean, their basic unit is the [Blood True Sigil], specifically, the [True Flame Sigil] within it!"
"The Divine Palace of Flesh is the foundation, the Blood True Sigil is the supplement, and the combination of these two basic units constitutes the Dragon Clan's incomparably powerful physical body and spell-like abilities. This is also the deeper principle of the Talent Imprint of Knight cultivation."
"And what constitutes the [Divine Palace of Flesh] are bricks and tiles."
Levi stared intently.
These bricks and tiles are engraved with profound and complex patterns.
After counting, he found that these patterns could be divided into six types in total.
Among them, the most widely distributed are the bricks and tiles representing [Strength].
They constitute the main body of the Red Emperor Dragon's [Divine Palace of Flesh].
Of course, the other five types of bricks and tiles are also numerous.
However, they are far behind in relation to Strength.
Levi said to himself, "That's why the Red Emperor Dragon can be called a Strength-type Dragon Clan. Through the Divine Palace, you can see the distribution difference values of the six dimensions of a living being."
His consciousness entered the interior of one of the Divine Palaces of Flesh.
A crimson emperor-robed figure with an unclear face sat high on the throne, with extraordinary bearing! In Levi's mind, as if enlightened, the name of this crimson emperor-robed figure appeared.
"Crimson Emperor True Form."
The True Form is the core that governs the Divine Palace of Flesh and the Blood True Sigil, and it is also the embodiment of Levi's will! The ancients in Levi's previous life said:
The human body has 36,000 gods! The Crimson Emperor True Form is the prototype of these gods! The so-called gods are actually one's own will!
In an instant, Levi.
Within his body, countless cells, the [Crimson Emperor True Form] within thousands of Divine Palaces, stood up!
At this moment, he felt as if he possessed the power of a god, as if nuclear bombs were igniting and exploding within his body, making him want to vent this power.
"With my will, I govern the billions of gods in my body. These gods reside in the Divine Palace of Flesh constructed by [Strength]. The surface of the Divine Palace is covered with countless True Flame Sigils. This is the essence of the Red Emperor Dragon Power's operation after the Seventh Ring!"
In short.
If we put aside the bricks and tiles of other dimensions that make up the Divine Palace of Flesh.
Red Emperor Dragon = Strength Divine Palace + True Flame Sigil.
All abilities and many changes are just permutations and combinations of these two basic elements.
It's like [0] and [1] in code.
In an instant.
Levi's mind seemed to be clear, and he had a sense of great enlightenment.
At the heart.
The Crimson Emperor Divine Palace, like a reef in the sea, was constantly washed by the tides of Blood Qi. Each wash sent countless miniature Divine Palace particles into Levi's body cells.
After the Seventh Ring, the Red Emperor Dragon's cultivation is to decompose the Divine Palace from the macro level to the micro level, so that every cell has a Divine Palace. This will be an extremely long process. Levi calls this process "Physical Divine Palace-ization," which is the gradual transformation of the abstract concept of [Strength] into a concrete Divine Palace.
Don't look at the countless Divine Palaces in his body now, but he is still far from achieving complete Physical Divine Palace-ization.
There are hundreds of trillions of cells in the body of an ordinary person alone.
He is an extraordinary person with a more complex body structure, which is immeasurable.
If one day, Levi achieves complete Physical Divine Palace-ization.
Within every drop of blood flowing through his body, there could be billions of Divine Palaces.
This blood would contain countless [Crimson Emperor True Forms] imbued with Levi's will. The power contained within, if unleashed, could likely destroy a Primal Soul powerhouse.
A drop of blood, capable of cleaving through the sun, moon, and stars! At that time, every inch of Levi's flesh and blood would be the embodiment of the abstract concept of [Strength], a rule, or perhaps what Wizards referred to as Truth!
Therefore, the first line of the proficiency panel's description of the Red Emperor Dragon was: "The pinnacle of Strength!"
With this thought, he opened the proficiency panel.
Levi —————— Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique: Nineteenth Order (1/10,000,000), Special Effect: Crimson Emperor Dragon Body · ??? (Seventh Ring Early Stage); Bloodline Avatar: Crimson Emperor Burns the Heavens; Blood Source True Armor: Crimson Emperor Dragon Armor; Exclusive Weapon: Red Dragon Ironcleaver (Seventh Ring); Bloodline Divine Runes: 0/81.

After the domain is deployed, your Strength attribute increases by 1000%, and other attributes increase by 200%. 5. You have Dragon Might suppression effect on all fire dragons under the sky! 6. You can transform into a Red Emperor Dragon for a relatively long time...]
This advancement marked the Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique at the Nineteenth Order, which was the Blood Source Seven Transformations, a Seventh Ring Knight!
Other abilities such as the [Red Emperor Domain] were simply enhancements of existing effects.
The biggest change from Sixth Ring to Seventh Ring should be embarking on the path of [Physical Body Divinity].
[Bloodline Divine Runes] were the primary reference standard for the degree of Physical Body Divinity.
Similar to how Levi had previously condensed the [Limit Soul] as a visual standard for the progress of the Infinite Primal Soul.
The upper limit of Bloodline Divine Runes was fixed, depending on the quality of the breathing technique itself.
The upper limit for the Red Emperor Dragon was to condense 81 runes! Levi's heart stirred. This number coincided with the 81 Infinite Souls created by Roger earlier!
Since the Red Emperor Dragon was a super-mythical existence.
Assuming that the truths of the world converged to the same end, wouldn't that mean... the upper limit of the Infinite Primal Soul method could also reach the Eleventh Ring? Of course, these were all Levi's guesses, possibly only applicable to the bloodline path, and not suitable for Wizards, just a wonderful coincidence.
The condensation of Divine Runes was also divided into three stages, similar to the Wizard's Wizard Marks.
However, Wizards imprinted Wizard Marks at the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Rings, ending before the Ninth Ring, and began to unify to advance to Great Wizard.
Divine Runes were condensed at the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Rings, ending before the Tenth Ring, and began to unify to advance to Myth! In addition, the number of Wizard Marks imprinted by Wizards at each stage could be different, with a minimum of 9.
For example, 9 marks at the Seventh Ring and 12 marks at the Eighth Ring were theoretically fine. But because imprinting Wizard Marks became more difficult later on, if you only imprinted 9 marks at the Seventh Ring, wouldn't it be a dream to imprint 12 marks at the Eighth Ring? Knights had to condense one-third of the maximum number of Divine Runes at each stage. For the Red Emperor Dragon, that meant 27 runes had to be imprinted in one realm, not one less, and no more could be added. Because this number was determined by the bloodline. To increase the upper limit, one had to break the bloodline shackles and achieve bloodline evolution, becoming a new bloodline.
In summary, for Knights with bloodline shackles.
Ninth Ring legendary bloodlines could not enter the Tenth Ring and complete the process of Divine Palace unification, only completing half of it, hence the term "demigod."
Only mythical bloodlines could advance to the Tenth Ring and completely complete the process of Physical Body Divinity.
And Seventh Ring and Eighth Ring bloodlines could not even condense complete Divine Runes, let alone Physical Body Divinity.
Perhaps this was also the reason why those Dragon Spawn could not set foot in the Ninth Ring. Although they contained legendary and mythical bloodline factors, they could not, like Knights, cultivate breathing techniques to break the bloodline shackles and gradually achieve the completeness of the bloodline.
After the Red Emperor Dragon advanced, through the proficiency panel, Levi felt.
81 runes should be the limit of a single-dimensional bloodline path.
And the limit for mythical bloodlines should be 66 runes.
The limit for legendary bloodlines was 45 runes.
As for those below the legendary level, their path to Physical Body Divinity could not be fully completed in three stages. So there was no such thing as a limit.
Suddenly.
Levi thought of a question.
If the Divine Rune standard of Knights was used to speculate about Wizards, wouldn't that mean that if 45 Wizard Marks were condensed, the probability of successfully advancing to Great Wizard would be higher? If 66 marks could be condensed, a Legendary Wizard could also think about it. If he really completed the feat of 81 Wizard Marks, then he should have a higher probability of advancing beyond Legendary?
Coupled with the confirmation of Roger's Infinite Primal Soul method with 81 Limit Souls.
Levi felt that this was very likely the case.
"If this conjecture holds true, then the standard I set for Holy Infant of at least 12 Wizard Marks per realm might still be a bit low. Although he's just a clone, he should at least become a Great Wizard to match my later strength. If he's too weak, it's meaningless. Of course, the standard can't be too high either. He's just a clone, and his talent is far inferior to mine. Setting it too high is also meaningless. The Wizard path is more open than the Knight path, and Wizard Marks can't represent everything. Since the predecessors set a minimum standard of 9, it means that someone has entered the Great Wizard or even Legendary Wizard realm with 27 Wizard Marks. However, such people often have other heaven-defying opportunities."
After much deliberation.
Levi informed Holy Infant of this matter, asking him to imprint as many Wizard Marks as possible within his capabilities.
In any case, with his lifespan, he could afford to spend the time.
As for Victor, he had already planned to imprint 15, so Levi didn't need to worry.
Gandalf, even more so. He was a Body Refinement Wizard, different from spell-casting Wizards. It was simple for him to become stronger: diligently refine Body Refinement Runes. But that was also the difficulty.
Suddenly.
Levi had a flash of inspiration.
"If the conjecture holds true, then there's a relatively clever way to increase the chances of advancing to the Ninth Ring. That is, to imprint as many Wizard Marks as possible during the Sixth Ring stage. Then, fewer can be imprinted during the Seventh and Eighth Rings. In short, a total of 45 before the Ninth Ring will do."
"No, that's not appropriate... Too many Sixth Ring Wizard Marks would lead to the quality being too low and not balanced enough. It's best to imprint the same number of Wizard Marks in all three stages. Since everyone generally does this, there must be a reason for it. Otherwise, this shortcut to advancing to Great Wizard would have been found by Wizards long ago. How could it be my turn?"
"Forget it, let's stick with 15. Since Victor is confident in 15, Holy Infant should be able to manage with some effort. He's still far from his mental strength limit. If I can find a suitable Truth Wonder for him in the Ancient Tower, I can give him another boost in aptitude."
In fact, what Levi was considering were the troubles of top geniuses. Ordinary Primal Soul Wizards had no choice at all and wouldn't think about these things. They would be burning incense if they could barely advance with the minimum standard of 9 Wizard Marks. How dare they think about the problem of 12 or 15? Even Hundred Flowers and Triss advanced with 12 Wizard Marks.
"If Hundred Flowers continues at the current pace, she should have 36 Wizard Marks at the limit of the Eighth Ring. Although that far exceeds the standard of 27, it might still be a bit difficult to advance to Great Wizard. At that time, I'll have to think of other ways, or have Hundred Flowers imprint a few more advanced Wizard Marks during the Seventh and Eighth Rings. Although that will take more time, it's worth it for the sake of advancing to the Ninth Ring."
There's always a way. Levi believed that with his future strength, bringing Hundred Flowers to the Great Wizard realm wouldn't be a problem.
Just a demigod, his Red Emperor Dragon is god-tier! Levi stared at the
Moon Rune
on the proficiency panel, lost in thought.
"Should I let Hundred Flowers try to solidify Rune Words on her body? With her current strength, even if she fails, there's not much risk."
Levi had never passed on the knowledge of Rune Words to anyone, not even his partners in the Gray-White Tower.
It wasn't because he was being secretive.
Don't forget, the Book of Starforging was just a book on crafting.
It was originally created for crafting, to be solidified on Wizard Tools, with the aim of emulating the Starforger Civilization and making the tools more powerful. But it was abandoned because it was impractical.
Levi's ability to successfully solidify it on himself and make it work was just a coincidence, inseparable from the help of the panel.
In fact, the effects of the Rune Words he cultivated had already deviated from the scope described by the original creators in the book. For example, the Moon Rune, the original effect described in the Book of Starforging was "enhance the lifespan of Wizard Tools," but after Levi cultivated it, it became enhancing his own lifespan on the proficiency panel.
Otherwise, if it could enhance the lifespan of Wizards, the Book of Starforging would have been sealed as a divine book by the council long ago, and its original author wouldn't have been frustrated and the book sealed away.
In addition, Rune Words had an extremely high upper limit, but cultivating them was also extremely difficult, far exceeding spells.
This made the Book of Starforging indeed somewhat impractical as a crafting book.
Levi had the proficiency panel, plus his talent and diligence. After five or six hundred years, he had only managed to grind the simplest Strength Rune to the fourteenth level. Other Wizards, needless to say.
"I'll let Hundred Flowers try it another day. I'll watch and stop her in time if there's a problem."
Several months later.
There was only half a year left until the opening of the Ancient Tower.
Levi had also basically consolidated his Seventh Ring Red Emperor Dragon realm.
The preliminary experiment on the Moon Rune was as he expected.
Hundred Flowers failed to solidify the Rune effect on her body.
"As expected, this is a cheat's exclusive... Otherwise, if the Book of Starforging was so awesome, with the shrewdness of those Wizards, it wouldn't have been buried."
Levi also mentioned his conjecture to Hundred Flowers for her reference.
This thing wasn't necessarily correct, it could only be said that Wizard Marks were as many as possible within the scope of personal strength.
Hundred Flowers naturally knew this principle as well. 12 was a relatively reasonable number that she calculated based on her ability.
If there were more, she wasn't sure if she could cultivate to the Eighth Ring perfection, let alone advance to the Ninth Ring.
Hundred Flowers knew what she was doing, so Levi was relieved.
In any case, she just had to work hard, and Levi was confident in creating the remaining conditions for her.
"If there were more Morning Star-level, or even Full Moon-level wonders, these problems would all cease to be problems..."
Levi broke through his seclusion.
His next itinerary would be very tight.
First, he would go to hell to help the three sisters subdue the young master of the Demon Elephant Tribe. Then, he would get some money to participate in the Underworld Market, get some Soul Stones for the Holy Infant's cultivation, allowing him more time to learn Primal Soul spells. As the main money-making tree, Levi still had to favor the Holy Infant a bit. Gandalf and Victor would have to find their own way.
Second, he would go to the Dark Ancient Tower to subdue the Dragon King and become a Seventh Ring authority holder.
Of course, before these two things, he had to check the current situation of the Ancient Dragon Continent and the Wizard World.
After all, the Bloody Battle had already begun for four years.
Twilight Temple.
The Blood Knight and others were studying tactics in front of the sand table. Seeing Levi emerge from seclusion, his face lit up with joy.
"Commander, you're Seventh Ring?"
Levi nodded.
"That's right. What have our war losses been like these years?"
The Blood Knight said, "Thanks to the mechs from the Extremity Warrior project, our warriors' casualty rate is very low overall, not at all inferior to the elite battle groups of the Wizard World. Moreover, at this stage, we're mainly dealing with low-level demons, with very few mid-level ones. We can still handle it."
Levi said, "Good. How are those demon corpses being disposed of?"
The Blood Knight said, "Currently, there's a dedicated recycling department that uses Storage Rings to collect these corpses to avoid demonic contamination."
Levi said, "I plan to set up a restricted area in the Ancient Dragon Continent, surrounded by Magic Arrays and establishing a barrier, to pile up the demon corpses and plant fungi within it. Then, we'll send someone to guard and care for it."
The Blood Knight said, "I understand. I'll contact the Wizards of the Dawn Tower immediately."
Levi said, "By the way, a new batch of alien races will soon be settling in the Ancient Dragon Continent. Arrange for people to go to the Intis Mountain Range to help them build their homes."
He was referring to the Wind Spirit Clan that Gandalf had rescued.
The Blood Knight said, "No problem."
Several days later.
On the high seas.
The Phantom 60 spaceship pierced through the air.
Gandalf returned with the Wind Spirit Clan, who had already been registered with the council, and taught them the Wizard Common Tongue.
The Wind Spirit Clan's leader, Ku Ross, and his clansmen curiously sized up this world.
It was too big, as if boundless! Gandalf said:
"We'll be there soon, everyone prepare to welcome the new world!"
The clan leader said, "Thank you for the Crow God's guidance, thank you, Lord Gandalf! Wait... what is that?"
Suddenly, all the Wind Spirits' expressions changed drastically.
They saw a demon hundreds of meters tall, emitting a monstrous aura of flames, appear on the horizon of the continent ahead.
It had wings on its back, its whole body burning with crimson flames, and it was a [Molten Mountain Demon Bat].
This was a high-level demon, often giving birth to powerful demon Lords.
The Flame Prince of the Yellow Earth Continent had contained this kind of demonic bloodline.
Gandalf smiled and said, "Don't panic, everyone, it's just a Sixth Ring peak demon."
Ku Ross exclaimed.
"Sixth Ring peak? This is an evil spirit powerful enough to destroy our world! Only the Dragon God before reincarnation could resist it!"
The next moment, a burly figure wearing black armor and carrying a greatsword appeared in the sky.
The Molten Mountain Demon Bat's expression changed drastically.
"Seventh Ring? Excuse me..."
It turned tail and ran.
The black-armored swordsman simply raised his fist and threw a plain, unadorned punch! This punch seemed simple.
But within Levi's cells, inside countless Divine Palaces of Strength, each Crimson Emperor True Form threw a punch with him. Outside the Divine Palaces, the True Flame Sigils shone brightly! A burst of flame fist wind instantly formed, the scorching high temperature swept out, the air rippled with white waves, scattering the clouds in the high sky. Even the gale in the Wind Disaster Layer paused for a moment, revealing the crystal wall behind it that had been burned and melted. Then, there was a flame passage stretching for hundreds of miles, Shattering the Void.
The Molten Mountain Demon Bat was gone, leaving only a crimson crystal floating, emitting a precious light.
Ku Ross and the Wind Spirit Clan were stunned, breathing rapidly, still immersed in that punch, unable to extricate themselves.
"Even the Dragon King couldn't do that... Is the Wizard World a Divine Realm?"
"Too strong!"
Gandalf said:
"There are no gods in this world. You have been isolated from the world for too long. You will understand later. As long as you work hard here and contribute your part, you will all have a bright future."
The void passage slowly recovered.
Levi put away the Sixth Ring peak demon crystal core, cursing inwardly.
"Damn it, how could this damned demon be so weak? It couldn't even withstand one punch from me?"
"What a pity, wasting a Sixth Ring demon corpse. In the future, when killing such Sixth Ring demons, I can only use basic Strength or sword Qi. I can't use the Crimson Emperor Dragon Flame or spells, otherwise the materials will be burned away."
Levi had always been cautious and liked to go all out. He had not yet adapted to the huge change after reaching the Seventh Ring of the Crimson Emperor Dragon.
[Killed a Sixth Ring peak Molten Mountain Demon, gained 300,000 points, gained 300,000 war merits. You are currently ranked 123rd on the Eighth Ring Demon Slaying List.]
A notification came from the advanced bracelet exclusive to Primal Soul Wizards.
Because Levi was now at the Seventh Ring level, he signed up for the Eighth Ring Demon Slaying List, which meant competing with Seventh Ring Wizards.
If he wanted to, he could also stay at the Sixth Ring Wizard realm and sign up for the Seventh Ring Demon Slaying List, but it was meaningless.
As long as you are on the Eighth Ring list, the basic rewards will completely crush the Seventh Ring.
The top 100 can get 1,000 war merits every year.
The top 30, 3,000 war merits.
The top 10, 5,000 war merits.
First place, 10,000 war merits.
You must know that hunting a very ordinary Sixth Ring early-stage demon only rewards 100,000 war merits. As for First Ring demons, the war merits are only 1 point.
Looking at the Wizard World, there are not many Seventh Ring Wizards. There are also many old guys guarding the organization and rarely going out. As long as Levi is not too lazy, he will definitely be on the list.
Levi glanced at it. The first place on the current Eighth Ring Demon Slaying List is a Thunder Faction war regiment leader called [World Ender Thunder Harvey]. This guy actually has 9.9 million points.
The average points for an early-stage Seventh Ring demon are only about 1 million.
"I guess this person has killed a lot of low-level demons, otherwise, how could he find so many high-level demons in such a short time?"
The rules of the Demon Slaying List do not restrict high-level Wizards from farming low-level demons to accumulate points.
But demons are not stupid. The gathering places of those low-level demons are often guarded or ambushed by high-level demons.
It is not so easy to farm low-level demons to climb the list.
Levi is quite Buddhist about the list, letting nature take its course, and will not deliberately rush for it. He still focuses on cultivation.
The Wind Spirit Clan leader led his clan to kneel respectfully in front of Levi.
"The ancient prophecy mentioned that after the Dragon King descends from the Divine Realm, he will transform into a swordsman walking in the mortal world to save us! The Dragon King is above!"
"Clan leader? When did the prophecy mention that?"
"Just now, stop talking nonsense, just follow me and worship!"
Levi had already learned about the Wind Spirit Clan's nature from Gandalf. He said lightly: "Next, someone will come to meet you and take you to the garrison. After you adapt, use your abilities to hide in the wind disaster and assassinate the demons that invade the Ancient Dragon Continent."
The Wind Spirit Clan, like the Weasel, is born to control the gale and can hide in the wind, making them suitable as assassins.
The clan leader said: "We respectfully obey the Divine Decree!"
After arranging for this group of alien races, Gandalf also returned to Middle Earth.
Because Gondor City is relatively safe, and the three clones currently do not lack conventional cultivation resources, they have not started killing except for planning against the Flame Prince. Therefore, they haven't made it onto the fiercely competitive Seventh Ring Demon Slaughter Ranking at all. For them, advancing to Seventh Ring is the top priority, and climbing the rankings can happen when fate allows. Levi didn't demand it.
As for the Sixth Ring Demon Slaughter Ranking, it's even more intense, a battle of immortals. After all, there are many more Fifth Ring Wizards, and the gap between individuals is also the largest, referring to the Dark Ancient Tower's genius battle back then.
Before departing for hell.
Mana told Levi that in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, those seeds that Crow God had brought back earlier had sprouted.
Inside the Immortal Realm.
Levi looked at the green saplings that were sprouting like bamboo shoots.
Faintly visible on the trunks were cute human faces.
The branches formed hands, and the roots were rooted in the earth, like feet.
He looked at Mana and asked, "Are these Treants?"
