The strongest one was Titan, Levi had long yearned for it.
The Tairo Wizard Ruins were located on the 53rd floor of the Abyss. The Abyss Lord there was a Ninth Level Demon.
Miraya the Succubus was responsible for finding the Tairo Wizard Ruins.
With Levi's help, she had recently advanced to a Seventh Level Demon. Her original tribe was located on the 12th floor of the Abyss. In such a newbie village, Miraya quickly thrived and seized control of the Succubus tribe.
Over the years, the Succubus had led her tribe deeper into the Abyss, developing downwards. They successfully established a foothold on the 53rd floor of the Abyss and began searching for the Tairo Wizard Ruins.
Now, there were finally results.
However, Miraya said that the Tairo Ruins were in the territory of an Eighth Level Flame Demon tribe, and her strength was insufficient to deal with them. For safety's sake, Levi had to take action.
"Mind Flayers are only Seventh Level, sending them would be of little use. They should stay here as spies… I still have four enslavement slots. I can find one or two Eighth Level Demons to contract, and then control them with Extremely Dark Parasitism. Annihilating that Flame Demon tribe shouldn't be a problem."
The Abyss was extremely dangerous.
It was very far from the Wizard World. Crossing the void would be time-consuming and laborious. The quickest way was through the Abyssal Well.
Levi would naturally not risk himself. Ninth Level Demons were often stationed at the Abyssal Well. Going there would be suicide. Fortunately, he had the divine skill of Extremely Dark Enslavement.
He immediately got up, intending to find two demons with good strength on the Bloody Battle battlefield. But before that, he went to the Twilight Temple.
A year ago, the Fire Dragon Knight began his closed-door cultivation to advance to Seventh Ring. Calculating the time, his tribulation should be approaching.
Levi had to take a look, both to provide support and to find a way to save the Fire Dragon Knight's life if he really failed. At worst, he could become a Heroic Spirit.
Twilight Temple.
The back mountain was heavily guarded.
The vice-captain of the Fire Dragon Knight Order, a Sixth Ring Knight, was leading the members stationed here. Everyone was excited.
Their boss was about to advance. If successful, he would be the fourth Seventh Ring Knight among the Twilight Eighteen Knights.
"Hall Master, you've arrived!"
Suddenly, the members saw a black-armored figure silently appear.
Levi nodded.
"I will personally guard this place."
The vice-captain quickly said:
"Good! With the Hall Master personally guarding, we are even more at ease."
This was the prestige of their boss, enough to alarm a big figure like the Twilight Hall Master. Life was worth living.
Levi called over those Sixth Ring Knights who were temporarily without missions to observe the Fire Dragon Knight's tribulation and learn from the experience.
Before long.
The Hundred Flower Knight, the Golden Lion Knight, the Black Knight, and other knights facing similar advancement problems arrived one after another.
Mu Di, who was far away in the Nora Plane branch, also watched through the Round Table projection.
Hundred Flowers had been busy with the construction of the Wizard Tower these years, spending all her time in the Dawn Tower, leading a team working day and night.
She looked a little haggard.
Levi said, "Pay attention to rest."
Hundred Flowers said, "Yes, yes, I know. I mainly want to finish the Wizard Tower as soon as possible, and then I can rest properly."
Perhaps influenced by Levi, this workaholic, the people around him had become more and more hardworking… On the contrary, Levi himself had become more and more detached these years.
The Golden Lion Knight laughed:
"The Fire Dragon Knight is really a genius. He joined later than us, but he advanced to Seventh Ring before us. This is the gold content of a supernova."
The Black Knight said helplessly:
"Yes, it makes old guys like me look a bit like salted fish."
Of course, jokes aside, everyone has their own pace in their heart and won't blindly compare speeds. It's not an arms race; blindly pursuing speed might lead to an unstable foundation and cultivation deviation. The Fire Dragon Knight is so fast because he is indeed a freak.
Time flies, and the Fire Dragon Knight has been with the Twilight Knight Order for a thousand years.
In these thousand years, he has risen from a First Level Knight to a Seventh Ring Knight. This speed, among Wizards, is that of a top genius.
Therefore, Levi is very confident in the Fire Dragon Knight's advancement to Myth.
Like his second brother, the Fire Dragon Knight has the potential to become a Myth.
As long as he doesn't die young and continues to work hard, he will one day reach the Tenth Ring.
Rumble! In the sky, the power of fire elements within a radius of dozens of miles began to boil, and billions of flame particles gathered together to form a ferocious Fierce Flame Dragon.
The earth cracked open, and a red-armored Knight holding a greatsword, three meters tall, flew out and slashed the Fierce Flame Dragon with a single strike.
This is the bloodline source of the Fire Dragon Knight's ancestral breathing technique, and its strength is very weak. It's not even a match for him.
But this is just an appetizer. Along the way, the Fire Dragon Knight has also integrated the bloodline factors of four legendary fire dragons: the Flame King Dragon, the Blazing Fire Dragon, the Scorching Fiend Dragon, and the Sky Torch Dragon. The next test is the most important.
If he can successfully advance, then the new breathing technique should be second only to Levi's Red Emperor Dragon Strength breathing technique, similar to a "little Red Emperor Dragon".
"Roar!"
Amidst everyone's worried and expectant gazes, the Fire Dragon Knight held his greatsword and faced the enemy with his self-created powerful battle technique, the Fire Dragon Radiance Zenith Canon.
This battle technique draws on the strengths of many schools and is most suitable for him.
His divine weapon, the Fire Dragon Greatsword, was reforged with Seventh Ring Sonic Gold, weighing a million pounds, capable of splitting mountains and cracking the earth.
In addition, he also possesses various powerful Talent Imprint methods and the Bloodline Avatar Fierce Flame Dragon, as well as the Blood Source True Armor Fierce Fire Heavy Armor.
After he solved the Lord of Blood Tribulation, he didn't even unseal the power of the Fire Giant King in his body or reveal his Giant form.
However, as the Darkness Tribulation descended, the Fire Dragon Knight finally went all out.
Because what appeared before him was a giant meteorite falling from the dark depths of space.
Its diameter exceeded twenty kilometers, and its speed was extremely fast, making it impossible to avoid.
On top of it, there was also a Black Beast exuding the aura of the early Seventh Ring.
He roared, his figure instantly rising to a thousand meters in height, and the Fire Dragon Greatsword cut through the sky, unleashing an earth-shattering strike!
"So strong!"
The Black Knight's expression was solemn.
Although he has worked with the Fire Dragon Knight for so long, he has rarely seen him go all out.
Most enemies are solved with a single sword, making him a "little Extremity Knight".
"So handsome!"
The Thousand Illusion Knight couldn't help but praise.
Rumble! Accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion, the doomsday greatsword shattered the meteorite.
The Fire Dragon Knight was blasted far away, his whole body cracking, magma-like blood flowing, and the bloodthirsty Black Beast pounced on him, biting his shoulder.
Everyone was helpless.
"This Darkness Tribulation feels like a double one. If it weren't for the Fire Dragon Knight facing the tribulation, anyone else might have been seriously injured by that meteorite impact."
"Yeah, this Black Beast is also water-based, which somewhat restrains the Fire Dragon Knight."
The Fire Dragon Knight transformed into a Giant and fought with the giant beast on the plain, bloody and primitive, using his greatsword as a door panel to collide with the giant beast's claws.
In the end, the Fire Dragon Knight was more skilled. He found an opportunity to suddenly exert force, piercing the giant beast and splitting it in two. Then, he spat out dragon breath-like flames, engulfing it.
"Hoo."
The Fire Dragon Knight gasped for breath, collapsed on the ground, and lay on his back, exhausted.
He has reached his limit since the tribulation began.
A little longer, and his stamina would not be able to keep up, and he might fail.
His greatest strengths are Strength and explosiveness, while his endurance is relatively ordinary.
After all, not everyone is a hexagonal warrior; being strong in one or two aspects is already quite impressive.
Feeling the vast power within him, the Fire Dragon Knight shouted with unparalleled joy, "I'm Seventh Ring!"
He transformed.
Flames soared to the sky, and within the blaze, a colossal beast with a wingspan of over two thousand meters, covered in red-black dragon scales, emerged.
This beast had thick, bull-like horns that curved and spiraled upwards.
Its limbs were thick as pillars, its body short and stout, and its tail resembled a broad, flaming greatsword, lined with menacing barbs.
It exuded an immense sense of strength and ruggedness, lacking the domineering aura of the Red Emperor Dragon, but possessing an indescribable fierce and imposing presence, like a honey badger.
"What a handsome dragon!"
"Indeed, if the Blood Knight's Jade Qilin is elegant, then this dragon is imposing."
"Envy."
"Fire Dragon Knight, what do you plan to name it?"
In his beast form, the Fire Dragon Knight looked at his companions, who were even more excited than he was. A light flickered between his horns, faintly transforming into a vast, golden sun.
"I want to name it... Sun-Chasing Dragon, as powerful as the sun."
Levi said, "A good name. In the mythology of some civilizations, there are legends of giants chasing the sun, and you happen to be a Fire Giant, which fits perfectly."
Mu Di said, "Legends of giants chasing the sun? Where do you hear these myths, Commander?"
Levi said calmly, "In dreams."
Mu Di nodded thoughtfully.
"I've heard that some geniuses comprehend the structural models of spells in their dreams. It seems the Commander is the same. The Qilin Divine Beast from before was also seen in a dream. This is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people; even their dreams are full of fantastical ideas."
Levi said, "Alright, let the Fire Dragon Knight rest. We'll have a small celebration tonight."
Before long, the news of the supernova Fire Dragon Knight's advancement to Seventh Ring would cause quite a stir in the Wizarding World. The status of the Ancient Dragon Continent and the Knights would rise again.
Tonight, everyone was free from missions.
The Twilight Eighteen Knights and their respective apostles gathered together. At the celebration for the Fire Dragon Knight's Seventh Ring advancement, Levi raised his glass, and memories flooded his mind.
"1143 years ago, the Holy Ape Knight and I were in the Endless Sea, and the Blood Knight and Black Knight established the organization [Twilight Knight Order] in the Nora Plane. Later, with everyone's help, we built the Twilight Temple.
At that time, there were only a few of us. We probably couldn't have imagined that a thousand years later, a new extraordinary organization with four Seventh Ring Knights, dozens of Sixth Ring Knights, and tens of thousands of Knights would stand tall in the world.
The era has created us, but complacency will also destroy us.
Along the way, some old friends are still here, while others have departed.
I hope that in the new millennium, all of us, from the battle group leaders to the members, can show more brilliance on the path of the Knight and find more possibilities.
We are all pioneers on this path, we are all trailblazers. It is everyone's ideas and accumulation that have created the Knight's Path, allowing the ancient pearl locked by worldly cares to shed its dust and shine brightly, illuminating the mountains and rivers."
"Good!"
Mu Di applauded, his heart filled with emotion, as if he had returned to the day he first sparred with the Commander a thousand years ago. This was also a topic he often bragged about at banquets over the years, to the point where others were tired of hearing it.
The other Knights were also greatly encouraged, as if they were treated as masters of their own destiny, each of them a writer of the history of the Twilight Temple.
Elena also chimed in with a laugh:
"Well said, everyone raise a glass to the Commander."
After a few rounds of drinks, everyone bid farewell and went to work with renewed vigor.
The Fire Dragon Knight shared his insights and experiences on breaking through with those Knights who were currently at the late or peak stages of Sixth Ring. Levi exhaled the alcohol fumes and left with a smile.
Half a year later.
In the God Forsaken Continent, a Black Armor Swordsman was fighting a mid-Eighth Level Flame Demon Lord. Flames and sword energy swept through the area, turning everything within a hundred miles into dust.
Under the blessing of the [Adamantine Secret Word], Levi was like a spring; the fiercer the enemy's attacks, the stronger his momentum became.
The dense, overlapping sword lights, like cascading waves, merged together. After one hundred and eight strikes, the overwhelming sword moves slammed the Flame Demon Lord into the ground, shattering its form.
The Maiya Spirit and Mountain Spirit Soldiers swarmed forward, pinning it to the ground.
Levi's eyes flashed with a dark light as the power of the Extremely Dark Dragon surged into the Flame Demon's body. After some effort, he enslaved it.
"Master."
"What's your name? What's your identity?"
"My name is Sargon, and I am the vice commander of the 34th Legion of the Flame Demon Tyrant."
After subduing the first Eighth Level Flame Demon, Levi used it to lure out another, successfully capturing a second Eighth Level Flame Demon named Ballard, whose early Eighth Level strength was sufficient for his purposes.
He simply instructed these two to retrieve something from the Abyss. The demon ranks were so chaotic that the absence of two Eighth Level leaders wouldn't raise many eyebrows.
After planting the seeds of Extremely Dark Parasitism, he had the two demons find an excuse to leave the Nora Plane. What happened next was up to fate; he certainly wasn't going to venture into the Abyss himself.
Opening the Ninth Level Demon Slaying Ranking, he saw that his own rank had fallen to just outside the top twenty. The top ten were all old monsters at the Eighth Ring Completion level.
Many were military leaders from the Wizard side, such as Ms. Lucy.
The Eighth Level Demon Slaying Ranking.
Without his presence to suppress them, Gatling and Light Divine Sword took turns at the top spot, locked in a fierce battle.
Elena and the Three Heroes of Gondor were clustered together in the teens.
Hundred Flowers had been in seclusion for years, so her score had remained virtually unchanged. Once she emerged, Victor and the others would likely surpass her in the rankings.
But that wasn't a problem; they were all on his side.
In a few hundred years, once the Three Heroes of Gondor and Elena advanced to the Eighth Ring and joined the Ninth Level Demon Slaying Ranking, the Fire Dragon Knight and Blood Knight would likely appear at the top of the Eighth Level Demon Slaying Ranking.
The Seventh Level Demon Slaying Ranking.
Demon Weeping Divine Sword Link and Shadow Queen Aya were still holding strong in the top ten, but breaking into the top three was proving difficult.
The top ten were all top geniuses among Sixth Ring Wizards, all with the potential to advance to Great Wizard, or even Legendary Wizard. None of them were simple.
With the Ancient Dragon Continent annexing the House of Witches, it now occupied several spots in the top one hundred. The Snow Lotus Witch was the most outstanding of these, ranking in the top twenty.
Her mental strength was now at its limit, just one step away from the Seventh Ring. She was likely imprinting a Wizard Mark. She was a low-profile individual, not well-known, but her strength should not be underestimated.
The Twilight Temple's Black Knight and Holy Ape Knight were also in the top one hundred.
In the top two hundred, there were even more, with the Thousand Illusion Knight, Silver Dragon Knight, and Dark Moon Knight all holding respectable positions.
Even the Heart Moon Spirit Witch, a Primal Soul Wizard from the emerging School of Dream Weaving, had managed to break into the top three hundred with her ordinary Sixth Ring cultivation, thanks to her summoning flow spells using Nightmare creatures.
"Good, very good."
Returning to the Ancient Dragon Continent, Levi continued to study Wizard Towers and spells.
He had no plans to rush to the top of the rankings yet. Against Ninth Level powerhouses, he wasn't confident in his ability to survive.
Until his Knight breathing technique reached the Eighth Level, he didn't plan to leave the mountain for now.
He would simply hunt demons near the Ancient Dragon Continent as fate allowed, gathering the 500 million needed to exchange for a Sun Flare wonder.
One year later.
Nora Calendar 751.
"There are only 500 years left until the once-in-ten-thousand-year super locust plague... If I can advance to Great Wizard before the plague arrives, I should be relatively safe. Otherwise, I'll have to call for backup, which, while useful, isn't really suitable for someone as thin-skinned as me."
Thousand-year locust plagues were always minor affairs. Ten-thousand-year locust plagues, if you were unlucky, could flatten even overlord-level territories, which was why Levi was worried.
"Sargon and Ballard have also successfully infiltrated the Abyss. Hopefully, they'll do well."
Suddenly, Levi's eyes flickered, and he picked up his communication Wizard item.
[Lord Levi, would it be convenient to meet? -- Louise.]
"What does this woman want with me?"
After thinking for a moment, he replied.
"Alright, you can come find me in the Ancient Dragon Continent."
Emperor Palace.
Reception area.
"Lord Levi, congratulations on your advancement to the Eighth Ring. I wanted to visit earlier, but you were in seclusion, so I didn't dare disturb you."
Louise wasn't wearing armor, but a light blue palace dress, outlining her curvaceous figure. Her smile was bright, and her refreshing ponytail was tied behind her head. Among the humanoid races, the Ancient Tomb Clan's appearance is the closest to the Nora human race.
"You're too kind, Madam. Is there anything I can help you with?" Levi asked politely.
Louise sighed, her eyes filled with sorrow.
"Lord Levi, I heard that the Ancient Dragon Continent accepts some foreign races."
Levi said, "Yes, to be more precise, we provide job opportunities. The Ancient Dragon Continent doesn't support idlers, and that includes foreign races."
Louise said:
"Yes, I understand that there's no free lunch in the world... It's like this, some time ago, a Wizard battle group found a group of fleeing Ancient Tomb Clan people in the Darkness Zone, and they are now temporarily detained in the Foreign Race Affairs Management Office."
Levi frowned.
"Detained? Why? The Great Speaker has said that once you come to Nora, you are family. As long as you coexist peacefully with the Nora human race, you can receive the protection of the Wizard Council."
Louise smiled wryly.
"My clansmen have been wandering in the Darkness Zone for too long, and they thought the Wizard battle group was there to plunder, so they took the initiative to attack. The consequences are imaginable. I wanted to bail them out, but I failed."
Levi suddenly understood.
"I see, if you explain the situation clearly and clear up the misunderstanding, everything should be fine."
Louise lowered her eyes.
"That's what I originally thought, but the adults at the Foreign Race Affairs Management Office don't trust us. As a foreign race, I have no relatives or friends in this Wizard world. After thinking about it, I can only turn to Lord Levi. I hope you can mediate and speak to the higher-ups for me. Louise has nothing now, but I am willing to stay by your side and work like a horse, doing anything..."
At the end, her face was a little flushed.
As the daughter of the former Nine Dragons Emperor, she had fallen to such a state. Alas, things are unpredictable.
Levi laughed:
"Madam, you think too highly of me. I am just the leader of an extraordinary organization, and I don't work in the Central Council. I am not even a Great Wizard, so how can I have such power?
Now is the time when the Council needs people. In my opinion, your clansmen should be released soon. You can wait patiently.
If you have nowhere to go at that time, as long as the Council has no objections, my Ancient Dragon Continent can naturally take you in."
Seeing Levi's clear attitude and genuine sincerity, Louise said, "I understand. I've disturbed you."
She felt a little dejected in her heart.
As an outsider, without any support, it is indeed difficult to survive in the Nora world.
Levi watched Louise's departing figure, lost in thought.
Starry night.
Summer Flower Tower, on the dreamy bed woven with vines and flowers, Elena leaned in Levi's arms, her face flushed.
"What did Louise want from you?"
"She asked me to do something, but I refused."
Levi told Hundred Flowers about Louise's situation, and Hundred Flowers said, "Speaking of which, that Golden Walker who accused us of merging with the House of Witches is the deputy director of the Foreign Race Affairs Management Office. I heard about this matter some time ago. I guess he thinks Louise didn't bribe him enough and doesn't want to let people go."
Levi revealed a look of understanding.
"So it's him, Great Wizard Florio, the current behind-the-scenes leader of the Leitney Family. They are really birds of a feather. The upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is crooked, hehe."
Elena's jade hand stroked Levi's chest muscles and said softly:
"The Council is investigating strictly now. I guess that Golden Walker is just bullying Louise because she is from the Ancient Tomb Clan and has no support, so she has nowhere to reason. If it were another Wizard, he definitely wouldn't dare to do this."
Levi said, "No matter what, I won't get involved when it comes to Great Wizards."
He didn't want to be drawn into inexplicable disputes, even though he really disliked the Leitney Family.
But a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Even if he defeated a Golden Walker, who knew if there would be anyone behind him?
He tied Hundred Flowers' hands together, and closed the flower curtain amidst the latter's exclamations.
Back at home, Louise's eyes flickered, only to see a golden-robed witch standing there, exuding the aura of a seasoned Eighth Ring.
The golden-robed witch chanted complex incantations, forming a golden barrier around her.
This was the [Forbidden Recording Curse], which could prevent others from secretly recording audio or video with spells or wizard tools.
She smiled and said, "Louise, where have you been?"
Louise said:
"I just went demon hunting."
The golden-robed witch snorted lightly.
"Going demon hunting in the Ancient Dragon Continent? Are you saying the Twilight Hall Master is a demon? That's a novelty."
Louise's expression changed slightly.
"You're following me?"
The golden-robed witch said, "Following? I'm just under orders to monitor potential dangerous individuals like you. After all, you are the daughter of the Nine Dragons Emperor, am I right, Louise?"
Louise frowned:
"Daughter of the Nine Dragons Emperor? You must have mistaken me."
She had never revealed this identity, precisely to prevent others from coveting it.
She didn't understand how the Golden Walker's personal secretary knew all this.
The golden-robed witch snapped her fingers, and a golden-haired wizard's illusory image appeared, it was the Golden Walker.
The Golden Walker said:
"Louise, you have violated the regulations of our Alien Affairs Bureau by concealing important information. Do you know your crime?"
Louise said:
"Sir, since joining the council, I have never done anything to harm Nora, and I have even hunted countless demons. I don't think I'm guilty of anything."
The Golden Walker sneered.
"Louise, you're a smart person, don't play dumb in front of me. Honestly, haven't I treated you well? I found you a good job in the Wizard World, allowing you to live in Nora without any worries, and yet you deceived me."
Louise felt sorrow in her heart.
"Sir, I have already given you the Mind-Clearing Tea tree root, such a treasure of heaven and earth. I really don't have anything valuable left."
The Golden Walker reprimanded:
"What do you mean? What Mind-Clearing Tea tree root? I'm telling you to abide by the law, not to think about giving me gifts. Alas, why don't you understand? Do you think I'm the kind of person who can't withstand temptation?"
Louise said in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, I misspoke, sir. I've explained it many times, those clansmen have no malice, and they haven't caused any casualties. I hope you can release them. They have considerable strength and can contribute to the Bloody Battle, isn't that what the Wizard Council wants?"
The Golden Walker's expression was indifferent, and his figure slowly dissipated, leaving only his lingering voice.
"I will naturally release them. Your concealment of your true identity is a separate matter. You'd better think it over carefully and contact my secretary when you've figured it out. Remember, you can't say things carelessly in the Wizard World, don't forget our original agreement... otherwise, tomorrow's Bloody Battle casualty list might have one more name."
The golden-robed witch dispelled the barrier, glanced at Louise, and her figure vanished.
Louise stood there, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
She had an evil thought of calling Ninth Uncle and the others over and killing the Golden Walker.
But she knew that would be futile and would only harm her clansmen and Ninth Uncle and the others.
This Golden Walker, she didn't know how he found out her true identity, and thought that as the daughter of a Tenth Level powerhouse, she must have good things, wanting her to hand them over, and might even be plotting against Ninth Uncle and the others.
Sauron Continent.
A secluded mansion.
"That Louise actually went to find the Twilight Hall Master?" The Golden Walker frowned.
The golden-robed witch said, "Yes, my lord."
The Golden Walker stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant East Sea, his eyes seemingly fixed on the direction of the Ancient Dragon Continent.
"The Twilight Hall Master is a master of self-preservation and shouldn't get involved in this matter. That Louise certainly wouldn't dare to reveal her true identity to the Twilight Hall Master. Knowing the Twilight Hall Master's greed, he would definitely covet her father's dragon clan, which she is well aware of."
The golden-robed witch said, "My lord, what if the Twilight Hall Master doesn't know what's good for him and really interferes?"
The Golden Walker said:
"If he really dares to interfere, then stir up the waters completely and make him regret wading into them... By the way, keep a close eye on that Louise during this time. If she does anything out of line, deal with her directly to avoid trouble."
Four years later.
Nora Calendar 755.
The 544th year of the Bloody Battle.
Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
The 1179-year-old Li Dragon King floated in front of the eight-story pagoda, concentrating on imprinting the Magic Array.
Unknowingly, it had been thirty years since he started refining the Wizard Tower.
Gradually, Levi regarded this work as a pastime in addition to cultivation. After finishing his homework, he would come here to tinker with the Wizard Tower.
Such days were not bad.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
"Failed... Sargon and Ballard are all dead, without even entering the interior of the ruins. What's going on?"
The Extremely Dark Mark had dissipated, and the parasitic seeds Levi left on them had also taken effect.
"There is some kind of powerful force in the ruins. Even an Eighth Level mid-stage Flame Demon was instantly killed. It should be Ninth Level strength, which is troublesome."
Levi sighed.
Fortunately, he had made sufficient mental preparations before taking action.
"If I rashly stepped in, my fate might not be much better. I'll send stronger demons to try again after a while. That Tairo Wizard was just a Great Wizard in life, so the power in the ruins cannot exceed Ninth Level."
Levi opened the communication Wizard artifact.
[Lord Levi, save me!]
"Who is it this time?"
Levi was about to put away the communication Wizard artifact.
[I am Louise, and also... the daughter of the Nine Dragons Emperor.]
"What? The Nine Dragons Emperor? That Tenth Level powerhouse who uses nine pure-blooded dragons to pull his chariot?"
Dragons, and nine of them... Levi closed his eyes and began to ponder.
The boundless sea.
A streak of light sped by, surrounded by silver armored warriors, who occasionally shot silver streamers into the rear. Two white-robed figures chased after them, one male and one female, wearing Enforcer uniforms and exuding the aura of seasoned Eighth Ring Wizards.
"Louise, I'll say it again, resisting the Enforcers is an aggravated offense. Stop immediately!"
"If you haven't colluded with demons, why are you running?"
The protective force fields around the two white-robed figures shone brightly, blocking all of Louise's attacks.
"Louise, this is your final warning. We are about to use force."
"Enough nonsense, let's do it. To think she'd collude with demons, after all the trust we placed in her. 'Those not of our race harbor different intentions,' the ancients were right."
Louise's face was pale.
"I haven't colluded with demons. My entire Ancient Tomb Clan was destroyed by demons, what motive would I have to collude with them?"
"If you haven't, why are you afraid of our investigation? Could it be you have a guilty conscience?"
"You came at me wanting to shackle me from the start, of course I'd run!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Three streaks of light crossed mountains and seas, plunging into a sea area thick with demonic energy.
"Ahead lies a sea controlled by demons. Are you trying to escape into it, seeking the protection of demons? Could it be that demons are waiting to receive you?"
Hearing this, Louise laughed in exasperation.
"Well, well, Golden Walker!"
She plunged headfirst into the Demon Sea, disappearing into the demonic energy. The two White-Robed Wizards frowned.
"Should we pursue?"
"Pursue! If the Golden Walker finds out we let Louise escape, can you bear the responsibility?"
"I heard that an Eighth Level late-stage Benthic Fish Demon haunts this sea area, and has devoured quite a few Primal Soul Wizards."
"What's there to fear? With you and me joining forces, plus the Eighth Level exotic treasure bestowed by the organization, even if we can't defeat it, we can still retreat unscathed."
Demonic energy swirled, so thick it formed clouds.
Although Oasis One had begun large-scale planting, in the short term, the speed of purification still couldn't keep up with the rate at which demons released demonic energy.
Louise adjusted her breathing slightly and continued to flee. Now that she had been framed by the Golden Walker, she knew there was no place for her in the Wizard World.
But she hadn't rescued that branch of her clan yet, and she was unwilling to leave.
After fleeing for some time, sensing that she had put some distance between herself and the two, she was just about to use void traversal to leave when she discovered that the surrounding space was like a raging whirlpool, impossible to escape.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a beautiful lady, this Great Lord wants her."
A wild and arrogant demonic aura soared into the sky, radiating the aura of an Eighth Level late-stage. It was a demonic fish over five thousand meters long from head to tail, its tentacles waving everywhere like an octopus.
Louise's expression changed. She immediately waved her hand, and a red armored warrior holding a shield appeared, guarding her.
This was a unique puppet of the Ancient Tomb Clan, possessing the Strength of an Eighth Level mid-stage, very durable, and extremely precious. She didn't have many of them.
Bang, bang, bang! The soft tentacles transformed into steel whips, striking the red armored warrior's shield. Louise and the armored warrior's attacks simultaneously bombarded the demon.
But the Devouring Sea Great Lord was an old Eighth Level late-stage demon, and one of the former commanders of the Endless Sea battlefield, its Strength unfathomable.
Louise was ultimately no match. Just as she was about to be captured, the void within hundreds of miles shattered.
A stream of fire suddenly broke into this world. The Black Armor Swordsman stepped out, silently chanting.
[You gaze upon me, and see destruction!]
Boom! Boom! The terrifying Secret Word of Destruction transformed into a giant flaming hammer in the Devouring Sea Great Lord's eyes. The hammerhead fell, and billions of sparks scattered, like brilliant fireworks in the sky.
In front of the Devouring Sea Great Lord, viscous, asphalt-like black water swirled, layer upon layer.
Bang, bang, bang! The layers of black water shattered, and the remaining force landed on the Devouring Sea Great Lord, blasting it away. Hard fish scales fell off, flesh evaporated, and a burnt smell permeated the air.
"Twilight Hall Master?"
It had a deep impression of Levi.
Before this guy even reached Eighth Level, he had already killed a bunch of Eighth Level early-stages. Now that he had stepped into Eighth Level, he was even more extraordinary. Even with its Eighth Level late-stage cultivation, it wasn't necessarily a match for him.
In the distance, the auras of two Eighth Ring Wizards were rapidly approaching. It immediately spat out a black bead, which exploded with a bang, and its body transformed into black water, drilling into the sea and disappearing.
Adamantine Secret Word surrounded Levi, and he simultaneously grabbed Louise. The red armored warrior's large shield silently shattered in the explosion, and its body was covered in cracks.
Boom! The shockwave slammed into the golden light around Levi, ripples rippled, and finally shattered. The remaining aftermath was easily blocked by Levi with a protective force field.
Levi said to himself.
"You ran away right away, am I that scary? You're a demon."
The unsettled Louise looked at the Twilight Hall Master descending like a god and exhaled deeply.
"Thank you."
Levi stood with his eyes closed until the two Enforcers arrived.
The expressions of the man and woman changed. They exchanged a glance, and then the male Wizard said, "Let me introduce myself. I am Blyman, a Wizard from the Bureau of Alien Affairs. This is my colleague, Katerina... Lord Levi, the alien woman Louise beside you is suspected of colluding with demons and needs to come with us to be investigated."
Levi looked at Louise.
"I didn't! My entire clan was killed by demons. Why would I do such a thing?" Louise argued.
Levi smiled and said, "Gentlemen, there must be some misunderstanding. I was just passing by and happened to see that Benthic Fish Demon trying to kill her... But if she really is colluding with demons, then naturally, we cannot condone it."
Blyman said with some difficulty, "We just wanted her to come in for questioning, but she didn't cooperate and ran away directly."
Louise said, "If I go, I'm afraid I'll be dealt with on trumped-up charges. Anyway, I'm an alien with no power or influence in Nora."
Katerina said, "Just come with us."
Levi stared at Louise and said calmly, "Madam, why not cooperate with the investigation? If you are innocent, you will naturally be exonerated."
He then looked at the two Enforcers and smiled, "I believe the Bureau of Alien Affairs will enforce the law impartially, right?"
Blyman said, "That's right. Thank you, Twilight Hall Master, for understanding our work."
Louise looked at Levi and then said, "Alright, I'll go with you. Thank you, Lord Levi, for saving me today."
And so, the two Enforcers left with Louise. Levi did not interfere.
A solitary island in the sea.
"Levi, what a rare guest. What brings you to my place?"
"Mr. Mattiat, I'm out on business and happened to pass by. I heard you were cultivating here in seclusion, so I came to see you."
"Come, sit down."
Levi arrived at the residence of the Overturning Sea Wizard, the first disciple of the Black Abyss Overlord. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, he asked, "Sir, I heard that you and the director of the Bureau of Alien Affairs, the Vast Sea Traveler, are good friends."
"Yes, he was previously in charge of the Sea Race. After the Sea Race incident, he took charge of all alien affairs."
"I have a friend named Louise, who is a well-known alien powerhouse on the Ninth Level Demon Slaying Ranking, having hunted countless demons. Now, suddenly, she's accused of colluding with demons. There must be some misunderstanding. Could you trouble the Vast Sea Traveler to personally supervise this case? If she's wronged, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of many aliens, which is not conducive to the unity of all races during the Bloody Battle... Moreover, I heard that the Bureau of Alien Affairs recently detained a group of exiled Ancient Tomb Clan refugees. This matter has not been resolved for a long time. Alas, if these Ancient Tomb Clan members could be utilized, it could alleviate some of the pressure on our Bloody Battle."
The Overturning Sea Wizard listened, deep in thought.
Although the Black Abyss Overlord had instructed him that he could seek him out if anything happened, Levi rarely took the initiative to trouble him. Today, he came for that alien woman, so it seems the two have a close relationship.
"I understand what you mean. I will mention it to the Vast Sea Traveler. We will certainly not wrong any meritorious contributors to the Bloody Battle, regardless of whether they are aliens or not."
"Thank you, sir... If you have any trivial matters that you need me to handle, such as searching for Potion Making materials, please tell me. I will arrange for members of the organization to do it."
"Hahaha, that's thoughtful of you."
Ancient Dragon Continent.
Having put the matter of Louise behind him, Levi continued his closed-door cultivation.
All he could do was use his connections to have the council investigate the truth as thoroughly as possible.
He opened his palm, and a faint Golden Lightning mark slowly emerged. This was left by Louise. He erased the mark.
"Golden Lightning is truly persistent."
