"?????"
The tiger-headed strongman stared at the question marks, dumbfounded.
"How could this be? As an Eighth Ring Netherworld Practitioner, I can't even see this person's age?"
This situation had never occurred in his career.
There were several reasons for the question marks.
First, the realm of the observed object was at least one major realm higher than the Netherworld Practitioner.
This possibility could be ruled out; the person before him was definitely at the Seventh Ring level.
If a Ninth or Tenth Ring expert forcibly suppressed their realm, pretending to be weak to deceive others, they would definitely sense his probing.
But Levi was still buying things as if nothing had happened, clearly unaware.
Second, the observed object had an infinite Lifespan...
This was even more impossible. So far, in the entire multiverse, there was practically no one with a completely infinite Lifespan.
The path of faith of the gods seemed to grant endless Lifespan and immortality, but in reality, it also had an upper limit.
It was just that the upper limit was very high, and many gods fell before reaching it for various reasons.
Even the Netherworld Emperors themselves, who controlled life and death, had Lifespan limits, let alone others? Third, the person had deployed means to shield against probing.
Currently, this seemed to be the most likely possibility.
"As expected, this person is not simple. Perhaps those two Netherworld Emperors hid his Lifespan for him."
The tiger-headed strongman sighed and gave up his curiosity.
At this moment, he realized that bloodshot veins had appeared in his eyes.
"Alas, curiosity killed the cat."
On the other side.
Levi, having spent all his Nether Coins, left the sailboat on his own.
As he had expected, the harvest from this Netherworld market was not as good as last time.
He only bought some Netherworld specialty materials and a Sixth Ring exotic treasure.
This exotic treasure was an ancient sword covered in rust, called the Quicksand Sword.
It could turn an area into quicksand, sealing enemies within.
Overall, it was relatively ordinary. After Levi left, he would have the Holy Infant auction it off for money.
In addition, Levi gambled all the remaining Nether Coins on blind boxes, buying 500,000 directly.
When he returned from the Ancient Tower, he would have a great time opening them.
The biggest gain from this Netherworld market was that Levi had collected all the materials needed to upgrade the Book of the Dead and repair the Black Soul Magic Tower.
With that, Levi hurriedly left the Netherworld.
Several months later.
Ancient Dragon Continent, Emperor Palace.
Victor's figure appeared.
"I have consolidated my realm."
Levi said, "Good, come with me into the Ancient Tower. Let Ace and Gandalf cultivate in peace."
With a flash of light, Levi and Victor disappeared from the spot.
Darkness Zone.
Far away from Nora, there was a lost plane.
Like the pureblood dragon corpse before, this plane also exuded an aura of decay.
It seemed that, for some reason, it was also heading towards death, and the world's will had already dissipated.
The Golden Emperor, riding the Wind Dust Dragon, descended upon this place.
As far as the eye could see, it was a scene of wind and sand, desolate and uninhabited, with no trace of civilization.
"Right here, let the Wind Dust Dragon absorb and refine the Bloodline Crystal extracted from the Wind Illusion Dragon."
To extract the pureblood dragon's Bloodline Crystal, the Golden Emperor had used every trick in the book.
With a wave of his hand, a blood-colored crystal the size of a human head appeared.
Countless profound cyclones and runes flickered around it, indicating its extraordinary nature.
"It's a pity I don't understand much about dragon evolution Knowledge; I can only try this method."
The Wind Illusion Dragon's corpse was the Golden Emperor's greatest secret.
He would never mention it to anyone else, including his own father, the Gold Melting Wizard King.
Otherwise, the family would surely take it away, giving him some insignificant reward to send him on his way.
In his opinion, only a Sun Flare-level wonder was worthy of such a complete and fresh pureblood dragon corpse.
But clearly, even a Great Wizard couldn't casually produce such a precious item.
Therefore, to prevent any unforeseen delays, he planned to have his beloved pet consume the Wind Illusion Dragon's crystal and flesh.
To see if it could take a step further in the future.
As for the Wind Illusion Dragon's other materials, such as dragon scales, dragon tendons, dragon bones, and dragon teeth.
Once he returned to the Wizard World, he would find a way to turn them into money, little by little.
He himself didn't know how to refine artifacts, so he could only sell them for money to exchange for cultivation resources.
If they were in the hands of a Ninth Ring artificer, these could be forged into Saint Soul Tools or Ninth Ring Wizard artifacts.
"You're both Wind-type dragons, give it your all, Hanks."
He didn't expect Hanks to reach Ninth Ring in the future.
He only hoped that it could keep up with his pace and advance to Eighth Ring in the future.
That way, the two of them, man and dragon, would be top-tier under the Great Wizards in the Wizard World.
As for seeking revenge on Victor and the others, he had already let it go.
Strength was the foundation, and besides, he was so far away from the Wizard World; there was no use in being anxious.
Not long after Hanks consumed the crystal, it began to fall asleep.
After settling it down, the Golden Emperor explored this lost plane alone.
Hoping to find some unexpected opportunities.
Several days later.
His figure appeared before a ruin half-buried in the sand.
Seeing the Wizard runes on the surface of the ruin's buildings, as well as the carved traces of those Magic Arrays, his face lit up with ecstasy.
"It seems that ancient Wizards once came here and left behind ruins, and judging from these traces, their cultivation must have been high!"
"Misfortune and fortune are intertwined; it's true! After two consecutive misfortunes, I've had two consecutive great opportunities!"
"With this immense wealth before me, my, the Golden Emperor's, luck has turned!"
At this moment, he believed that he was the Child of Destiny! It wasn't impossible for him to advance to Great Wizard in the future.
Before the Golden Emperor could explore the ruins.
Suddenly, the sand and ruins of this desert all began to tremble.
"What's going on?"
The Golden Emperor's expression changed, and he became alert.
Immediately afterward, he realized that it had turned dark.
He looked up and saw only a pitch-black sky dome and swirling vortexes.
Nothing else.
As the saying goes, a leaf can block the view of an entire forest.
If one were to look from the Darkness Zone.
They would discover:
A black ancient tower, unimaginably huge and spanning the deep space, floating above the lost plane.
It was the Dark Ancient Tower, drifting randomly in the Darkness Zone.
The Dark Ancient Tower's movements were completely erratic.
Except for a few lucky individuals who stumbled upon it, and the fixed, unmoving period when it opened every ten thousand years.
No one could actively find the tower.
Accompanied by a tremendous suction force.
This medium-sized plane vanished into the deep space without a trace.
Such a scene often played out in the ancient years.
Dark Ancient Tower.
Fifth Layer.
"I, Levi, am back again!"
Levi was in a great mood.
Each trip to the ancient tower was very rewarding.
It could be said that from the moment he left the ancient tower, he had been looking forward to entering again after a century.
Million Great Mountains.
The place for planting fungi.
Levi harvested another batch of mature fungi.
He had already let this place run wild and didn't care much about it anymore.
Because he had already established a better fungal cultivation base in the Ancient Dragon Continent.
He went to take a look at those Demon territories, including the former site of the Demon God Temple.
He didn't find any Sixth Ring Demon Kings.
"Could it be that this Sixth Ring demon wasn't nurtured within the ancient tower itself? But rather, the ancient tower collected it from the multiple planes?"
Levi pondered inwardly.
Demons were not uncommon in the multiple planes.
They invaded the chosen worlds with impartiality.
Apart from the Abyss and the Wizard World.
You could find the figures of demons in any other possible place.
Unable to figure this out, Levi stopped dwelling on it.
Perhaps he would understand when he had higher Enforcer permissions in the future.
As usual, Levi went to the place where Luo Man had fallen.
Before long, he flew out from underground, holding a [Scarlet Flame Serpent] in his hand.
This was the most common Earth-grade Combustion Faction wonder.
"I'll let Holy Infant refine it for fun when I get back..."
Although it was just an Earth-grade Wonder, Levi was very happy.
For no other reason than this was the first Wonder he had "cultivated."
He estimated that if he was lucky,
after a while, his Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm could also nurture a small batch of Earth and Sky-grade Wonders.
He had killed quite a few Sixth Ring enemies in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm before.
Previously, I was worried about insufficient strength and damaging the Immortal Realm. Now that I am strong enough, I should try to kill Seventh Ring enemies in the Immortal Realm as much as possible in the future. Maybe there's a small chance of a Morning Star Wonder being born.
Not long after.
Levi arrived at the Wind Spirit Tower.
After a century, Kidman's strength had improved somewhat.
Kidman saw the Law Transmission Celestial Venerable arrive as scheduled, and with even greater momentum, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Celestial Venerable, you are truly unfathomable!"
Next was the work report for the past hundred years.
After listening, Levi's expression was quite good.
"There are actually two Children of Element and three special talent holders. Kidman, you've done well."
Being able to find so many geniuses showed that Kidman worked very hard and deserved a reward! He gave Kidman a large box of the Sixth Ring Meditation Potions he had left over.
"Work hard in your cultivation, Kidman. I admire you. If you can reach the peak of Sixth Ring in your lifetime, then I will take you away from this world and bestow upon you a potion to break through to Seventh Ring, allowing you to go even further!"
Levi was a professional at drawing cakes.
Kidman immediately gave Levi a great salute, and then said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Celestial Venerable!"
Seventh Ring, that was a realm he dared not even think about.
Because of the limitations of this world, no one could reach Seventh Ring except for the Supreme Law God and this Law Transmission Celestial Venerable.
And this Celestial Venerable said that he could take him away from this world, which showed that his identity as a preacher was indeed true.
For him, this was descending to the lower realm and ascending to the upper realm.
After that, Levi met the two Children of Element.
One Child of Water Element was a little girl.
One Child of Wind Element was a young man.
They lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Levi's captivating gaze.
"What are your names?"
The little girl said:
"Lord, my name is Lilian."
The young man said:
"I... my name is Pi Ke."
Levi said, "You don't have to be nervous. Next, I will guide you in practicing spells and embarking on the path of transcendence. I will come to pick you up in a year."
The two said in unison, "Thank you, Lord."
After explaining some matters, Levi went directly to the Sixth Layer.
Another two Children of Element obtained, the Dawn Tower had made a killing this time.
Now, under the years of management by him and other responsible persons,
the Dawn Tower also had many Children of Element.
Si Ta and Toby need not be mentioned.
The older Coral Witch was now a Fifth Ring Wizard with nine talents perfected, preparing to advance to Sixth Ring.
Garona, the Child of Water Element rescued by a Knight from the Twilight Temple from a Star Empire brothel four hundred years ago, was now also a Fifth Ring Perfected Wizard, also pursuing the perfection of nine talents.
Under Levi's influence, these geniuses all hold themselves to very high standards.
Even the dual-affinity Golden Lion Knight, although currently only a Fourth Ring Wizard, is pursuing the perfection of six talents.
In any case, he is a Sixth Ring Knight, and his talent is excellent, so there is a possibility of reaching Seventh Ring in the future.
With a long Lifespan, high status, and decent comprehension, he has enough time and resources to pursue talent perfection.
After all, his talent was originally inferior to the Child of Element.
If he wants to maximize his success rate when advancing to Sixth Ring as a Wizard in the future,
he definitely needs to do everything else to the extreme.
Moreover, in recent years, the Golden Lion Knight and the Goddess Knight have been actively accumulating Battle Merit.
Even Earth and Sky-grade Wonders are very useful to them.
If they could exchange for a Morning Star Wonder, all the better.
For dual cultivators like them, it is feasible to have the wealthy lead the less wealthy.
The ultimate goal of dual cultivation is to continue cultivating the path of 'Primal Soul'.
Once the 'Primal Soul' is born, the combat power will increase dramatically! ...
Sixth Layer.
Ahead of Levi, the flying squirrel "A Jin" transformed into a stream of light, leading the way.
Its speed is extremely fast, obviously an effect of evolution.
Of course, in terms of combat power, A Jin is still trash.
It is still far inferior to specialized combat-type spiritual creatures.
Although a bonded spiritual creature can grow synchronously with Levi's Wizard realm,
in terms of combat power, the higher the quality of the Wonder, the stronger the bonded spiritual creature.
Those Earth and Sky-grade bonded spiritual creatures that Levi gave birth to in his early years,
such as A Jin, A Long, A Kun, and A Gua, are all auxiliary spiritual creatures.
The combat types are mainly the mount A Biao and the Sword Spirit Miss.
Of course, A'Ya is an exception. It is an all-rounder, capable of both traveling to find treasures and possessing good combat power.
Thinking of A'Ya, Levi felt a little nostalgic.
It has been a hundred years since the little guy left home.
This expedition will surely take A'Ya to even more distant places.
Because of the Wizard civilization's powerful plundering nature, the possibility of finding loopholes in planes closer to Nora is small.
Therefore, it is possible for A'Ya to travel for hundreds or even thousands of years in the future.
A'Ya's positioning is similar to that of a specialized 'Traveling Wizard' in the Wizard world.
For example, the owner of the Saint Soul Tool 'Paimon Star Disk' that Levi once obtained was a Traveling Wizard.
These Wizards will learn specialized travel spells.
They are often proficient in space studies, customs studies, plane studies, biology, and astrology.
These are all disciplines and Knowledge that are of great help to exploration.
Levi has 'Aether Travel', so he certainly won't waste it.
At this stage, he will let A'Ya travel in his place.
When his strength increases and he can travel through planes more efficiently, he will also explore the pan-planes.
He will even leave the pan-planes to see what lies beyond the exploration boundaries of the Wizard civilization.
The meaning of becoming stronger also lies in this, seeing different scenery.
A month later.
In a swamp filled with miasma,
Levi stopped and gazed ahead.
A Jin dove into the mist and disappeared.
Before long, it returned, clutching a Storage Bag, panting as it circled Levi.
Levi petted A Jin, praising it verbally.
This symbiotic spirit didn't need to eat. The way it grew stronger was by being nourished by spiritual power and advancing together with its master.
So material rewards were useless.
"That's about it, time to go to the Seventh Layer."
In the past month, led by A Jin, Levi had found the spoils of four Sixth Ring experts.
Including two Primal Soul Wizards.
In addition, there were some previously missed rare herbs.
After A Jin advanced, its treasure-hunting efficiency had improved somewhat, which pleased him.
In fact, he had encountered two Truth Wonders, but unfortunately, they were both still gestating.
They would need at least a thousand years to mature.
He marked them down for now, to be harvested later.
After taking stock of these spoils, Levi's face lit up with joy.
"A good harvest."
300 million Great Stones, two unowned Sixth Ring Soul Tools, one Sixth Ring Wizard Tool, and one Sixth Ring Exotic Treasure.
In addition, there were several rare materials and ores.
In one of the Primal Soul Wizard's Storage Bags, there was also a Sky-level Wonder.
A metal-faction Wonder, the Wound-Breaking Blade.
It was a rusty iron sword, exuding an aura of decay.
"Interesting, it's actually this kind of Wonder."
Although the Wound-Breaking Blade was a Sky-level Wonder,
in the eyes of some metal-faction Wizards, it was no worse than some Morning Star Wonders.
In addition to the usual functions of enhancing spiritual power, optimizing spells, and giving birth to symbiotic spirits, this Wonder had another very unique function.
It could change the effects of metal-faction spells, creating Rust Poison Gold, similar to Exotic Flames.
Any enemy attacked by Rust Poison Gold, even if they were lively and vigorous at the moment,
would, after a period of time, be infected with a disease called Rust Poison Syndrome.
Once Rust Poison Syndrome broke out, iron rust would rapidly grow from the infected person's wounds, causing their movements and consciousness to slow down.
If it could not be treated and removed in time, it would uncontrollably spread throughout the body.
In the end, the entire person would turn into a rusty metal statue.
Rust Poison Syndrome was extremely difficult to deal with, and conventional School of Life healing spells were difficult to remove.
Light Faction spells such as Holy Light Healing, which treated negative energy erosion, were also ineffective.
The simplest and most direct method was to quickly cut off the flesh around the wound before it became infected.
Of course, the higher the realm, the stronger the physique, and the stronger the immunity.
But with the physique of most spell Wizards,
Levi estimated that as long as they were hit, even Primal Soul Wizards would be infected, affecting their actions...
If it were someone with a strong physique like him, it would naturally be fine.
"Not bad, Levi can let Victor refine it."
Levi gave the wonder to Victor.
If he's lucky, it might even give birth to a special talent or something, improving Victor's aptitude.
Of course, with Victor's strength, most enemies wouldn't even need the Rust Poison Syndrome; they'd be instantly killed.
This Rust Poison Syndrome is just icing on the cake.
"Let's go, to the Seventh Layer."
Levi put away A Jin and disappeared.
Dark Ancient Tower.
Seventh Layer.
Like the Fifth and Sixth Layers, this is also a complete world, inhabited by various alien races and humans.
However, the area of the Seventh Layer is even more vast and boundless.
According to the information Levi currently has.
The creatures of the Seventh Layer call this world the Saint Roland Continent.
On the Saint Roland Continent, there are Eighth Ring powerhouses, and more than one.
They occupy territories, using force to subdue various alien races, establishing their own great powers.
Collectively known as the "Three Realms and Four Lands."
The so-called Four Lands are the Giant Beast Forbidden Zone, the Winged People's Sky Island, the Merman King's Palace, and the Land of Flames.
The Three Realms are the Thunder Pool, the Ice Realm, and the Gold Ruins.
These seven major realms are the seven largest gathering places and resource points in the Seventh Layer.
However, they are all guarded by Eighth Ring powerhouses, with countless experts under their command.
During the previous openings of the Dark Ancient Tower, they were also the focus of attention for the Wizards.
However, only top Wizard organizations had the strength to snatch food from the mouths of tigers in these seven major realms.
Of course, in addition to these, there are also some smaller resource points scattered throughout the vast and dangerous lands.
Levi analyzed this information, muttering to himself.
"With my current strength, I can basically walk sideways in the Seventh Layer. As long as I don't provoke those Eighth Ring existences, I'm very safe."
"But since I'm new here, this time, I'll focus on those scattered small resource points first, and then take a stroll around the Giant Beast Forbidden Zone and the Thunder Pool. When I come in next time, and I have the cultivation of a seasoned Seventh Ring Wizard, I'll go to other realms."
The Giant Beast Forbidden Zone, relatively speaking, is a safer gathering place. This is because it is mainly inhabited by a group of low-intelligence Black Beasts.
The overlord of the forbidden zone is an Eighth Ring transcendent creature.
Its main body is suspected to be a variant Giant Beast from the Darkness Zone.
The Star Devouring Spider King!
This Giant Beast is even rarer than pure-blooded dragons, possessing various incredible abilities and a very long Lifespan.
During the last great opening of the Ancient Tower, many powerhouses from Wizard organizations wanted to go to the Giant Beast Forbidden Zone to subdue this beast.
In the end, they all failed.
The reason for this is that no one knows where the Star Devouring Spider King is located.
The most cunning being in the entire Giant Beast Forbidden Zone is the Spider King.
A joint force composed of several Eighth Ring Wizards stormed into the center of the forbidden zone, but they didn't see the Spider King's shadow.
Instead, the Star Devouring Spider King used its powerful soul control techniques to manipulate the Black Beast army, constantly harassing the Wizards.
This is also the origin of the name Giant Beast Forbidden Zone, as it gathers half of the Black Beasts in the Seventh Layer.
Among them, many Sixth Ring and Seventh Ring Black Beasts are controlled by the Spider King.
Some Wizards have even been attacked by manipulated Eighth Ring Black Beasts.
Black Beasts aren't worth much to hunt; it's a waste of effort and not worth the cost.
That's why there are fewer explorers in the Giant Beast Forbidden Zone later on.
But for Levi, the Giant Beast Forbidden Zone is a treasure trove.
It's a natural gathering place for Black Beasts, no need to lure them; he can have a killing spree.
As long as he's careful, leaves a way out, and doesn't provoke Eighth Ring Black Beasts, he'll be fine.
The [Merman King's Palace], [Winged People's Sky Island], and [Land of Flames] are the convergence points controlled by different alien civilizations.
In these three places, the Mermen, Winged People, and Flame Race have established their own forces.
The Merman King's Palace is located in the [Sea of Heart] in the center of the continent.
It's a giant lake surrounded by land.
Although it's called a lake, it's actually the largest body of water on the Sixth Layer, hence the name "sea."
The Winged People's Sky Island is located in the aerial continent east of Saint Roland.
The Land of Flames is located in a scorching desert in the west.
Earth-Fire and Sky-Fire rage there.
Apart from the Flame Race and Fire Elemental Spirits, even some fire-type extraordinary creatures are unwilling to go.
After all, they only have an affinity for fire, which doesn't mean they can't be burned to death.
The [Thunder Pool] is a huge Secret Realm, filled with Thunder, making it extremely dangerous.
Within it, many powerful Thunder Elemental Lords and Thunder-type wonders have been nurtured.
Levi's [Thunder God's Finger] was obtained here by Hundred Flowers, thanks to the Leitney Family.
The [Thunder Marsh Tribe] lives in the Thunder Pool, said to be related to the former [Thunder Giant] race.
As for the [Ice Realm] and [Gold Ruins], they are also occupied by alien races.
Unfortunately, on the Saint Roland Continent, the Human Race has not established a powerful empire.
There are only cities and settlements of various sizes, belonging to races ruled by alien races.
Of course, a long, long time ago, some ancient Wizard inheritances or other extraordinary inheritances were obtained by the Human Race.
Today, there are quite a few Sixth Ring and Seventh Ring powerhouses among the Human Race.
Historically, the Human Race has also produced Eighth Ring powerhouses, competing with alien races.
But in this era, there are no Eighth Rings.
As for Ninth Ring powerhouses, according to the rules of the Ancient Tower, it is impossible for them to be born independently on the Sixth Layer.
Even if there are any, they are occasionally sucked in by the Ancient Tower, which is an unstable factor.
If this happens, the Ancient Tower Scepter will warn immediately and launch a Sauron Strength projection to kill them.
Getting back to the main topic, on the Saint Roland Continent, the Human Race is insignificant.
Ultimately, this is because of the oppression from various alien races.
They have not established a unified regime, nor have they been able to systematically spread the Wizard's methods.
The Wizards only regard the Dark Ancient Tower as a game for collecting resources, so naturally they don't care about the Human Race on the continent.
They just want to climb the tower and find resources in the limited time they have.
Therefore, Levi's purpose in this trip is to emulate the Fifth Layer and support a Wizard Tower here.
Then, spread more systematic Wizard Knowledge and theories to help the Human Race rise.
And as the mastermind behind the scenes, he can continuously absorb excellent blood from here and integrate it into the Wizarding World.
Sauron would probably support him in doing so if he knew.
As an Enforcer, he couldn't just seize resources from the Dark Ancient Tower.
Within his capabilities, he still had to fulfill some responsibilities and help the Wizard civilization better survive the Bloody Battle.
Not seeking to save the world, but just to do well what was in front of him.
The Giant Beast Forbidden Zone and the Thunder Pool were both located in the southern part of the continent.
After arranging the plans for this trip, Levi, guided by A Jin, began to wander around the Seventh Layer, heading south.
Along the way, he picked up several more spoils of war from Sixth Ring experts or Primal Soul Wizards, a decent haul.
The Saint Soul Tools he had gained from this trip to the Ancient Tower alone would allow Levi to make a fortune and greatly increase his mental strength.
In addition, he also found several small resource points that had not been visited.
Among them, he obtained 3 types of Sixth Ring and 1 type of Seventh Ring Elemental Metal.
He gained 5 Earth-level Wonders and 2 Sky-level Wonders, all of the usual Earth-Fire Wind-Water variety.
And so, half a year passed.
Levi, laden with gains, arrived at the largest human gathering place on the Seventh Layer, also a sacred ground for all humans.
[Land of Runes] was so named because the humans of the Seventh Layer collectively referred to Wizards, or other spellcasting professions, as "Rune Masters," because these spellcasters all used "runes" as the basis for constructing spells and other extraordinary powers.
In essence, Rune Masters were Wizards, just with a different name.
They called Primal Soul Wizards "Rune Saints."
This implied that they were powerful individuals who had mastered god-like power through runes.
Rune Saints were also divided into three tiers.
They were [City-Protecting Saint], [Marquis-Appointing Saint], and [Royal Authority Saint].
Representing Sixth Ring, Seventh Ring, and Eighth Ring Wizards respectively.
As the name suggested, only Eighth Ring Wizards were qualified to unify the Land of Runes and establish a unified monarchy.
Historically, several Royal Authority Saints had emerged.
However, before their kingdoms could last too long, they were destroyed by powerful individuals from the Three Realms and Four Lands.
These alien races knew the potential of the human race was great, so they tried every means to suppress them, but not completely eliminate them.
In the end, they only left a piece of the Land of Runes to harvest leeks, enslave the human race, and make them fight and collect resources for them.
There were many human cities in the Land of Runes, hundreds of them, large and small.
But there were only eighteen cities with Saints.
The one Levi came to today was called Noz City.
He had heard that a Marquis-Appointing Saint was entrenched here, calling himself the "Water Dragon Saint."
This person was one of the four strongest individuals in the Land of Runes today.
Noz City stood majestically on a lake island in the center of a large lake.
Blue water curtains rose from all sides of the island, protecting the city within.
"There's actually a Sixth Ring Magic Array, but there are too many loopholes in this Magic Array."
Levi's Hermit Rune flickered.
He gently touched the Magic Array and found a node, easily passing through with the Scarlet Dragon Avatar.
With his current strength, he didn't need to go through the city gate at all.
Inside the city, shouts, hawking, and voices were deafening, quite prosperous.
On the streets, there were even some birdmen with feathers all over their bodies walking around.
When those mortals saw them, they respectfully made way, even calling them the "Sky Race."
These were the Winged People, a relatively powerful race in the Darkness Zone.
In the pan-plane, they had established a powerful Winged Empire, with a Tenth Ring expert sitting in charge.
Besides those, there were also the Flame Race, covered in flames and scarlet scales.
The Thunder Marsh Tribe, tall and towering, stood out from the crowd, as well as the Mermen, whose appearance was similar to the Nora Sea Race.
The entire Land of Runes was the back garden of these alien races.
The alien races were constantly at war with each other, but they had a very unified policy towards the Land of Runes.
That was to restrict the rise of the human race, otherwise, when the human race grew stronger, everyone would be finished together.
Levi had to admit that the alien races on the Seventh Layer were indeed much higher level than those on the Fifth Layer.
"Interesting, other Wizards don't have time to play with this group of alien races, but I'll give it a try."
He looked at the center of the city, where a Wizard's spire stood. A Seventh Ring aura was entrenched within.
Inside the tower.
The Water Dragon Saint, wearing a white robe, was meditating.
Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on his back.
He opened his eyes and turned his head.
At some point, a burly swordsman in black armor was standing there.
And he, as a Marquis-Appointing Saint, was completely unaware? It was simply unbelievable! This person also exuded an aura of a Marquis-Appointing Saint.
The Water Dragon Saint had greeted the other three Marquis-Appointing Saints and was certain that he had never seen this person before.
He calmed himself and asked:
"May I ask what brings you here, Your Excellency?"
Levi said, "I am the Law Transmission Celestial Venerable of this world. I have a great opportunity here, and I don't know if you want to seize it?"
The Water Dragon Saint said:
"Your Excellency is joking. What Law Transmission Celestial Venerable? I have never heard of it."
Levi smiled slightly.
His figure flickered, and he instantly appeared in front of the Water Dragon Saint.
The Water Dragon Saint's expression changed drastically, and his Rune Force Field, comparable to that of an ordinary Seventh Ring Wizard, instantly lit up.
Crack.
Levi's palm pressed on it and slammed down.
The Water Dragon Saint's force field shattered like a mirror, collapsing.
Before he could use magic, Levi's large hand grabbed his neck.
Then, Levi's figure flickered, and he disappeared from the spire with the Water Dragon Saint, who was still in shock.
High in the Sky Dome, in the wind disaster layer, Levi appeared with the Water Dragon Saint, who was still in shock, overlooking Noz City.
He said, "You should see that I have the absolute strength to put you to death."
The Water Dragon Saint quickly asked, "What exactly do you want to do, Your Excellency?"
Levi said, "I told you, I have a great opportunity here to give to you."
The Water Dragon Saint said:
"Alright, please tell me, Your Excellency."
Although he was also a Marquis-Appointing Saint, he had no power to resist in front of Levi.
Even the strongest Flame Wolf Saint did not have such strength.
Levi said, "Don't worry, I am a human. This opportunity concerns the rise of the entire human race in the Land of Runes. I will not harm you."
He then told the Water Dragon Saint his plan.
The Water Dragon Saint's expression changed when he heard this.
"Your Excellency wants to subvert the Three Realms and Four Lands? How is that possible? For thousands of years, the Three Realms and Four Lands have been above the Saint Roland Continent. Even during the strongest period of our Land of Runes, the era when the Royal Authority Saint ruled, we could not do it. Instead, we were flattened by the joint forces of the Three Realms and Four Lands..."
Levi pointed to the sky, exuding a confidence from within, and said calmly:
"Nothing is impossible. You couldn't do it before because I wasn't here. Now that I am, the Sky of Saint Roland is about to change."
As he spoke, nine-colored Divine Light emerged in the Sky Dome above his head.
Beneath the auspicious nine-colored clouds, a nine-headed dragon with a wingspan of two thousand meters appeared, its might suppressing the world! The gaze of the Nine-Headed Emperor Dragon fell upon the Water Dragon Saint, giving him the illusion of facing an Eighth Ring powerhouse from the Three Realms and Four Lands...
At that moment, he actually felt that the goal of the person before him could be achieved.
After a moment of thought, the Water Dragon Saint said:
"It seems I have no choice now."
Before Levi, the Oath Sword appeared, and he said, "This matter concerns the great plan of the human race. Before we are ready, it cannot be leaked. Next, swear as I say."
The Water Dragon Saint could only comply.
Just in case, Levi also had the Water Dragon Saint make a Truth Oath.
After swearing, his expression was complex, unsure of what his fate would be.
Next, Levi handed over the systematic Wizard inheritance he had prepared in advance to the Water Dragon Saint.
"From now on, you will secretly spread these Knowledge inheritances in the Land of Runes. The Knowledge you previously possessed is incomplete, merely the tip of the iceberg of the Wizard path. This is also the reason for the weakness of the Rune Masters."
The Water Dragon Saint glanced over it and had an epiphany.
The Law Transmission Celestial Venerable had not deceived him.
With his realm, he could naturally see that the Rune inheritance was indeed severely lacking.
The Wizard path is a collective wisdom.
The Rune Masters of Saint Roland Continent had only obtained some superficial Knowledge, groping blindly in this small world.
They were not much stronger than the Crypt Wizards.
Next, Levi inquired about the intelligence of the other three Marquis-Appointing Saints from the Water Dragon Saint.
Currently, the strongest was the Flame Wolf Saint, who should be at the late Seventh Ring level.
Considering the inflated strength of the Rune Masters, Levi felt that this person's strength was definitely inferior to Tai Gu.
"Take me to find the other Saints."
Levi planned to subdue all the Saints in the Land of Runes.
The current Land of Runes was too chaotic, with Saints in separate territories.
The first step to spreading the Law was to secretly integrate these scattered forces and put them to use for Levi.
Then, he would find a way to confront the Three Realms and Four Lands.
Compared to the vast Saint Roland Continent, the Land of Runes was not large; it could only be described as a small place.
In a month, Levi used his fists to secretly subdue all the Saints in the Land of Runes except for the Flame Wolf Saint.
Of course, there were some who did not want to accept Levi's opportunity and resisted desperately, only to be slapped to death by Levi.
He didn't have time to waste with them slowly. After unifying the Land of Runes, he still had to go to the Giant Beast Forbidden Zone and the Thunder Realm.
The Flame Wolf Saint was, after all, at the late Seventh Ring, so Levi still needed to plan carefully.
A few days later.
Zu La City.
The City Lord's Mansion.
An old man in a scarlet robe with a giant wolf pattern tattooed on him and a scarlet-scaled Yan Clan powerhouse in armor were talking.
Both exuded a powerful Seventh Ring aura.
The old man in the scarlet robe was naturally the Flame Wolf Saint.
And that Yan Clan powerhouse was a noble of the Land of Flames royal family, named Jia Ba.
After the exchange, Jia Ba received a scarlet fruit from the red-robed old man.
It grinned grimly, "Not bad, a three-thousand-year-old Sixth Ring Flowing Fire Fruit, it will be of great use to me. Flame Wolf, you've done well. Although you are a Rune Master, you have half of our Flame Race's blood in your veins. Don't forget your identity. As long as you do your job well, when I ascend to the throne of the Land of Flames, you will be our nation's advisor."
Flame Wolf smiled:
"I understand."
Jia Ba put away the fruit, and left Zu La City contentedly.
"After consuming this Flowing Fire Fruit, I can hopefully return to the late Sixth Ring realm within a hundred years. If it weren't for those damned outsiders, who caused me to fall from my realm hundreds of years ago, I would already be at the peak of the Sixth Ring now, and even have a chance to advance to the Eighth Ring and compete for the position of country lord. That old thing should hand over the throne."
Walking along, it reached a deserted place.
Jia Ba suddenly stopped.
It sneered:
"Where are the petty thieves, lurking around sneakily? Get out here!"
As it spoke, the scarlet scales on its body opened layer by layer, spewing out endless flames, engulfing this world.
In an instant, the flames cleared.
The continuous phantom of Silver Mountain descended with a shocking force.
The wind vortexes surrounding the world never stopped.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a earth-shattering roar, a Nine-Headed Emperor Dragon with bared fangs and brandished claws, its body entwined with magical light, soared above the sea of fire.
On the dragon's back, a black-armored swordsman stood proudly.
Behind him, a phantom of a Thunder Emperor wearing golden imperial armor, holding an Emperor Sword, and reaching a thousand meters in height, slowly emerged.
Levi asked:
"This friend, I have a great opportunity here, would you like to obtain it?"
