Levi had barely left when a gaunt, Seventh Ring Horned Devil, looking miserable, stared at the empty stall, then glanced at the Pig Devil who had just bought the Soul Stone.
"How can that Pig Devil be so rich?"
He was a Seventh Ring Wizard of the Death School named Xiao Te, who had also come to Hell to participate in the Netherworld Market.
"Damn Pig Devil."
There were Netherworld Market rules on the ship, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Levi frowned, sensing a faint hostility.
He glanced over and saw a Horned Devil.
Presumably, he's also a Wizard in disguise. I beat him to it, so he's resentful. Understandable. I'm in a good mood today, so I won't bother with you.
He ignored it and continued to snap up good things.
"Resentment Stone, Eighth Ring material, can be used to reinforce my Black Soul Magic Tower, bought."
"Human Soul Paper, Eighth Ring material, for reforging the Book of the Dead, buy!"
After a round of frantic shopping, unknowingly, Levi only had 1 billion Nether Coins left.
As long as it was useful to him, he completely ignored the price and just took it.
Wizard Xiao Te was dumbfounded.
"He's spent at least a dozen billion in this short time, right? I, a dignified Seventh Ring Wizard, have been operating in Hell for so many years, and even risked being wanted to rob the rich and help the poor, and I've only saved up 700 million Nether Coins… Could this person also be a Death School Wizard big shot?"
Thinking of this, he felt a burst of fear in his heart.
Originally, he was thinking of killing that Pig Devil after leaving this place.
Now that he thought about it, if he really did that, his life would most likely be left on the Eighth Layer.
Sure enough, one can't be too violent.
Not only this Wizard, but also the tiger-headed strong man's expression changed.
"Just how many Archdemons has this guy robbed…"
So much cash, even an Eighth Ring Devil couldn't take it out.
After all, the daily expenses of Hell require Nether Coins.
Levi came to a stall and stopped, not moving.
Inside a transparent jar was a handful of black soil.
Around the black soil, countless resentful energies and negative energies swirled. Levi seemed to see countless wandering souls and wraiths, as if this wasn't a handful of soil, but a miniature Hell.
[Soil of the Deceased, 500 grams, Ninth Ring, Price: 1.2 billion Nether Coins.]
This thing was placed here, and many Devil Lords looked at it with envy, but in the end, they could only shake their heads helplessly and leave. Because it was too expensive.
The Seventh Ring Wizard also saw this soil.
"Heavens?! Soil of the Deceased, a legendary material for building an Undead Graveyard!"
The so-called Undead Graveyard was a special place built by some Death School Wizards to breed and cultivate undead creatures.
The Graveyard of the Dead could automatically convert elemental power into a rich death negative energy, allowing undead creatures to grow.
Some Death School Wizards would build the Graveyard of the Dead inside their Wizard Tower or their Secret Realm.
In short, if one could possess their own Graveyard of the Dead, it would mean an endless army of undead disasters. If constantly evolved, this Graveyard of the Dead could even become a [small artificial Hell]! As far as he knew, the current Legendary Wizard of the Death School, the Hand of the Netherworld, was like this. His demiplane and Wizard Tower had been transformed into a super-huge Graveyard of the Dead, and even his legendary profession was related to the Graveyard of the Dead.
Legendary Profession: Time Tomb Keeper.
This was the Hand of the Netherworld's legendary profession.
His legendary demiplane was called the Homeland of Heroes.
Legend has it that the Hand of the Netherworld, relying on the abilities of the Homeland of Heroes and the Time Tomb Keeper, could protect the souls of some living beings from entering the Netherworld.
This was equivalent to possessing a portion of the Netherworld's authority, with heaven-defying and unfathomable methods.
These souls, carrying their memories and even their abilities from their previous lives, would be reborn in the Homeland of Heroes, transforming into existences known as Heroic Spirits.
In the Homeland of Heroes, the Netherworld established the "Hall of Heroes," possessing many powerful Heroic Spirits under its command. They could be from different races or even Wizards.
Their existence relies on the Hand of the Netherworld, and they fight for it.
If the Hand of the Netherworld dies, they will also vanish like smoke.
Relying on the abilities of the Tomb Keeper, the Hand of the Netherworld is a relatively powerful existence among Legendary Wizards. There are even rumors that there are Tenth Ring Heroic Spirits residing in the Hall of Heroes.
If the rumors are true, then the Hand of the Netherworld will be even more terrifying.
In short, to build an Undead Graveyard, this [Soil of the Deceased] is essential; its full name is [Homeland of the Deceased's Rest].
Only by relying on this divine soil can the deceased rest outside the Netherworld, or even be reborn in the form of undead.
And this kind of divine soil can only be found in the Netherworld across the myriad planes.
This Seventh Ring Wizard had participated in many Netherworld Markets, but this was the first time he had seen such a rare item. However, after seeing that there was only half a kilogram, he sighed inwardly, "Unfortunately, only half a kilogram, the quantity is not enough."
"But even if it's only half a kilogram, it's worth as much as 1.2 billion Nether Coins, I can't afford it."
He looked at the extravagant Pig Demon.
Currently, among the devils present, only it had the money to buy it.
Levi was also stunned.
How come all the good stuff is on the Eighth Layer?
He had been buying only what he needed along the way.
He had originally planned to use all the remaining 1 billion to gamble on memory blind boxes.
Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred, and such a top-quality item appeared.
The tiger-headed strongman looked at Levi's longing eyes and said, "Are you buying it?"
Levi said, "I don't have enough money, can I get a partial refund..."
The tiger-headed strongman pointed to the sign over there.
[Once sold, no refunds or exchanges.]
Levi thought to himself, It's definitely too late to go outside and rob someone now, and it's not a good idea, after all, the Netherworld Envoy is watching here.
He asked, "Can I sell some things in here?"
The tiger-headed strongman said, "As long as you're not reselling things from this stall, you can do whatever you want."
Levi was overjoyed. He immediately took out a Seventh Ring Wizard Tool, the Secret Sword he had obtained some time ago, [Sorrow of Bones].
Although this Secret Sword was a Seventh Ring masterpiece, Levi had the more useful Purple Light Sword, and Holy Infant and Victor had no use for it. He had originally planned to auction it in the Wizard World.
Levi asked:
"This is a Seventh Ring Wizard Tool made by a Wizard that I picked up, called [Sorrow of Bones]. Although it's not new, it's absolutely intact and of good quality. Is there anyone who wants to buy it back for collection? Cheap sale, 600 million Nether Coins, honest price."
Although the materials of this Wizard Tool are ordinary, and the functions are not very complete, and the appearance is also average... but it is a Seventh Ring masterpiece, in the Wizard World, it is worth at least a little less than 1 billion Great Stones.
Levi also had some Devil Tools that devils needed, but the sources were not legitimate. This was the Eighth Layer, and he didn't dare to use them since he was new here.
The devils were attracted, and some were interested.
But they couldn't afford 600 million Nether Coins.
After all, they had already spent a lot on the stalls just now, where would they get more money? The Horned Devil disguised as a Seventh Ring Wizard showed an interested expression.
"It's actually a Secret Sword of the Death School, and a Seventh Ring masterpiece..."
He had seen Victor and others using the Secret Sword Style to kill everywhere some time ago. Although he was a Wizard of the Death School, he also wanted to try it and enrich his methods.
But he originally only had 700 million Nether Coins, and he had just spent 400 million on the stall, leaving him with only 300 million Nether Coins, so he couldn't afford it.
His mind raced, and he transmitted a message to the Pig Demon, "Your Excellency, I intend to buy your Wizard Tool, can we go outside to trade?"
Levi looked at the Horned Devil, the guy who had just harbored resentment towards him.
He suspected that the other party was also a Wizard in disguise, and his strength should be inferior to his own.
"Sure."
Levi and the Horned Devil left the mast sailing ship without a sound.
The tiger-headed strongman was feigning sleep with his eyes closed, and didn't bother with them.
As long as they didn't violate the rules of the Netherworld Market, he wouldn't care even if they turned the outside world upside down.
In the wilderness.
The Horned Devil said:
"Your Excellency, I have 300 million Nether Coins left. Could I use other things to compensate for the remaining 300 million Nether Coins?"
Levi said:
"That's acceptable."
He was only short 200 million Nether Coins; selling for 600 million was to avoid losing too much himself.
The Horned Devil said:
"I am sincerely trading and hope to conclude a contract."
Levi said, "No problem."
He wasn't worried; if the other party dared to go back on their word, he would just kill them.
The other party probably realized he was strong and was afraid he would kill to seize the treasure.
So wanting to sign a contract was normal and reasonable.
After concluding the contract, the Horned Devil's expression changed.
"Your Excellency is Twilight Hall Master, Levi?"
Levi said, "Yes, what's the matter? Is there a problem?"
The Horned Devil quickly shook his head.
"No problem, I just didn't expect to meet you in Hell."
He was a little apprehensive. He was just an ordinary Seventh Ring Wizard, insignificant in front of the Twilight Hall Master... This was a ruthless person who could kill Eighth Ring demons out of his level, and more than once, indicating it wasn't relying on trump cards or luck, but pure strength.
Levi said, "Wizard Xiao Te, let's keep today's events secret from each other. Pleasant cooperation."
He patted the other party's shoulder, and the Horned Devil nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Only after Levi had walked far away did he breathe a sigh of relief, mocking himself inwardly, "I'm clearly also a Seventh Ring Wizard, so why do I feel like a Fifth Ring Wizard meeting a Primal Soul Wizard... Oh well, although I didn't get a Soul Stone or Soil of the Deceased this trip, getting a Seventh Ring high-quality Wizard Tool is also a good thing."
He had already spent all his Nether Coins and added 300 million Great Stones, so he hurriedly left Hell.
The Twilight Hall Master was always elusive, spending his days fighting on the battlefield or in seclusion, rarely participating in the Wizarding World's social activities.
Therefore, for many people, he had a layer of mystery, making him daunting. Today, he could be considered someone who had shaken hands with the Twilight Hall Master, and he was actually a little proud inside.
At the stall.
Levi put away the Soil of the Deceased.
With 100 million Nether Coins left, he went all in on memory blind boxes, buying 100,000 of them.
He looked at the tiger-headed strongman snoring in his sleep and left contentedly.
Ancient Dragon Continent.
The trip to Hell had come to a satisfactory end.
Levi took stock of this trip, which could be described as the most fruitful he had ever had.
He had enslaved two Eighth Ring devils, incorporated the Demon Elephant Tribe, obtained a massive amount of resources, and even obtained the Soil of the Deceased, a legendary material.
From the information he had obtained from the Demon Fox Tribe, they had participated in dozens of Netherworld Markets and had never seen legendary items. Levi could be said to have hit the jackpot.
If it were the previous three guys, Levi might have thought they were deliberately giving him benefits to curry favor. However, this tiger-headed strongman didn't seem to be interested in him, so he shouldn't be actively trying to please him.
Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
In the center of the Graveyard of the Dead, a faint tombstone shadow stood.
This is what Levi obtained after refining the tombstone oddity; it's not a symbiotic spirit, but rather a special ability.
The tombstone's function is similar to that of the Soil of the Deceased in that it can convert elemental power into negative energy of death.
However, compared to the Soil of the Deceased, the tombstone lacks a crucial function: allowing the souls of the deceased to rest in peace, thereby achieving its own self-sustaining cycle of undead creation.
In the beginning, the Graveyard of the Dead was only about one kilometer in diameter.
As time passed, and as Levi advanced to the Seventh Ring, its area also expanded continuously. It is now over a hundred kilometers in diameter, which is not large, but enough for the undead to survive.
After all, besides the Graveyard of the Dead, Levi also has the Black Soul Magic Tower, which also has its own space and can absorb the deathly negative energy wandering between heaven and earth.
Levi estimates that once he reaches the Eighth Ring, the Graveyard of the Dead should be over a thousand kilometers in diameter, which would be a decent scale.
The method of using the Soil of the Deceased is very simple: bury it in the ground, and it will automatically modify the surrounding soil, slowly increasing in size.
The speed of modification depends on the amount of Soil of the Deceased. With Levi's amount of half a kilogram, it would take forever to transform the entire Graveyard of the Dead.
Fortunately, Levi has no shortage of patience.
He can just add more Soil of the Deceased later.
Moreover, he can't let the Graveyard of the Dead generate too quickly; it must be slower than the expansion speed of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm. He doesn't want to turn the entire Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm into a graveyard.
As the Soil of the Deceased fell under the tombstone, a scene that Levi didn't expect occurred.
The Soil of the Deceased transformed into a black earthworm, burrowed into the tombstone, and then dispersed, making the tombstone phantom even more solid.
Levi had a feeling that after merging with the Soil of the Deceased, the tombstone became more complete.
On the tombstone, mysterious runes of truth began to emerge.
Levi deciphered them using his Wizard Knowledge.
[May the deceased rest in peace, may the Death God live forever]
In the next moment, Levi felt as if he were standing in a strange place.
He didn't know where this was, nor when it was.
There seemed to be no space or time concept.
Only the endless sound of river water struck Levi's heart.
He opened his eyes and saw a great river.
It was turbid, dim yellow, and seemed somewhat Bloodstained, boundless, and mighty, coming from nothingness and going to nothingness. Countless tributaries branched out from the great river, flowing out, crossing infinite time and space, and flowing to unknown places.
Levi was all too familiar with this great river.
"Nether Mother River."
"According to legend, the Soil of the Deceased is the sand produced at the bottom of the Nether Mother River. Now it seems that this is indeed the case."
This river was so vast, so great, and so supreme.
"The mother river of the Netherworld, the mother of the Nether Emperor, the controller of the will of life and death reincarnation... Only the non-existent concept of the River of Time could be more powerful than it."
In front of the Mother River, Levi deeply felt his own insignificance.
"Whirr."
The sound of a mountain spring awakened Levi.
Dimly, he seemed to see a negligible tributary of the Mother River connected to the tombstone phantom in front of him.
He felt that his will was omnipresent in this hundred-kilometer-diameter land of the dead. At this moment, he was the god of this land...
After unexpectedly absorbing the Soil of the Deceased, the Graveyard Tombstone underwent some kind of mutation, and Levi obtained some unexpected permissions.
He had absolute control over this Graveyard of the Dead.
He could mobilize all the undead born within the Graveyard of the Dead without any contracts or Wizard artifacts. As long as the undead were born from here, they were his property, the same as the Nightmare territory.
He could even actively select some powerful souls and allow them to be reborn in the Graveyard of the Dead with their memories from their previous lives, becoming the lowest-level Phantoms and Skeletons.
These Phantoms and Skeletons were not simple; they possessed some of the skills from their previous lives, but they might not be able to fully display them due to their undead bodies.
Of course, not all souls could be reborn as undead with their memories.
Those who have committed heinous crimes against the ethics, morals, order, and laws of their respective civilizations are not allowed to enter. Only those who have prestige and merit in their respective civilizations can be reincarnated.
As for the evaluation criteria, it is not determined by Levi, but by the Nether Mother River.
His authority comes from that supreme, impartial, and emotionless Mother River.
Moreover, with his current authority, he can only protect a maximum of 10 souls to be reincarnated with their memories. If he wants more, it seems he needs to increase his strength, upgrade the tombstone level, or obtain more Soil of the Deceased.
"I understand now. After the Soil of the Deceased combined with the tombstone, I unexpectedly became the… City God of the Wizard World! These souls whose memories I protect during reincarnation, after becoming undead, become judges and underworld officials under the City God, or Heroic Spirits. No wonder the demiplane of the Hand of the Netherworld is called [Homeland of Heroes]. So that's how it is!"
Generally speaking, those who can become Heroic Spirits must be "heroes" or "epic figures" in the usual sense according to the standards of that civilization.
According to the standards of Levi's human race or wizards, they either sacrificed themselves for their country or were great heroes among the people. In short, they cannot be too unknown.
Therefore, if the shining Lionheart Knight and Golden Knight of the Seven Legends were alive, they would definitely be able to become "Heroic Spirits."
Even if another person is a wizard, if they have been unknown in the Wizard World, without achievements or contributions, it would be difficult for them to become a Heroic Spirit.
Strength is not the only criterion.
But if it is a Primal Soul Wizard, as long as they are not a great villain, with the extent to which their Primal Soul is "famous all over the world," they should be able to become a Heroic Spirit.
"It's a pity. If only Teacher Mai Lin had lived a little longer. She had students all over the world and never did evil. She should also be able to become an undead and live another life. But this still depends on personal choice. If they don't want to become undead, there's no need to force it."
On the ground, the Soil of the Deceased began to slowly proliferate, faster than Levi had expected, possibly because of the Graveyard of the Dead.
"From now on, this place will be called [Ancient Banyan Netherworld Mansion]."
Levi renamed the Graveyard of the Dead.
This will be his Undead Graveyard from now on.
It will automatically receive souls from the multiverse and reincarnate them here as new undead, and provide a more habitable home for the existing undead.
As for Heroic Spirits, Levi currently has no suitable candidates. The number of places is limited, so they must be important people. The establishment of the Ancient Banyan Netherworld Mansion is a further step towards turning the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm into a perfect world.
Mana's figure appeared, and she said:
"I can feel that new life is being nurtured below."
Levi's consciousness entered the small piece of Soil of the Deceased that had just been transformed.
A speck of green light, only the size of a grain of rice, flickered like a firefly.
"This is the sprout of a newborn soul fire. In the future, it will become a Phantom, a skeleton, or even a powerful Undead Bone Dragon."
Of course, to become an Undead Bone Dragon, you also need dragon bones.
Levi was just making an analogy, not to waste resources to create a Bone Dragon.
After this, Levi had the Magic Array wizards of the Dawn Tower mass-produce large energy gathering Magic Arrays to lock the death energy of the Ancient Banyan Netherworld Mansion there, so as not to affect other places.
A month later.
Emperor Palace.
Before Levi planned to go to the Dark Ancient Tower, the Blood Knight came.
He said, "Guild Leader, I am now at the limit of the Sixth Ring. The next step is to face the dilemma of evolution and advancement, so I would like to ask for your experience in advancing to the Mythic-level Bloodline."
Levi said, "From my experience, you need to prepare at least three legendary-level endurance-type Bloodline Crystals that are different from the Mai Ya, to advance to Mythic. Of course, you can also directly prepare one Mythic-level endurance-type Bloodline Crystal and do it in one step."
He was the one who combined Mai Ya + Silver Mountain Dragon + Wind Illusion Dragon + Black Annihilation Dragon, four-in-one to advance to [Heavenly King Dragon], so he has more say.
Of course, it is possible that three-in-one can also advance to Mythic, provided that one of the legendary Bloodlines is excellent enough, the strongest legendary type. For safety's sake, he still recommends that the Blood Knight advance with a four-in-one.
The Blood Knight said:
"Thank you for your guidance, Guild Leader. I understand."
Levi asked:
"How much have you prepared now? You can tell me if you have any difficulties."
The Blood Knight said:
"Guild Leader, I don't have any problems here. I obtained a Seventh Ring [Unicorn Jade Beast Crystal] through an auction some time ago, and exchanged for a Seventh Ring [Jade Swallow Crystal] in the Battle Merit shop. I only need one more."
Levi nodded.
"Well, the Unicorn Jade Beast has the legendary Pegasus bloodline, and the Jade Swallow has the Swift Goose bloodline, which are both quite compatible with your Maia bloodline."
Pegasus and Swift Goose are both legendary creatures known for their endurance.
He then told the Blood Knight some precautions for advancing to the Seventh Ring, and then said solemnly:
"Blood Knight, are you mentally prepared for evolution? Once you embark on this path, the difficulty of your subsequent advancements will far exceed what it is now. You will need to deal with more Lords of Blood Tribulation, and you will also need to cope with ever-changing Darkness Tribulations."
The Blood Knight said, "I've thought it over, Commander, and I'm prepared for failure. I'm an old relic from the old era, much older than all of you. I want to give it one last shot. If I don't succeed, I'll die trying. It can also accumulate some experience for the other knights."
Levi said, "Alright, before you advance, remember to bring life-saving treasures. No matter what, preserving your life is the most important thing. Also, don't advance while I'm away. As long as I'm by your side, even if you fail to advance and die, I have ways to let you live another life in another form."
The Blood Knight's expression was shocked.
"Live another life?"
Levi said, "Yes, but I believe you can succeed."
With the Blood Knight's prestige and achievements in the Era of Dharma's End, he will inevitably become a Heroic Spirit, but this is similar to the ghost cultivators of his previous life, which is an inferior path when there is no other choice.
How can it compare to being a knight with flesh and blood? The Blood Knight said gratefully, "Thank you, Commander, I'm going!"
The Blood Knight is a fierce person who can suppress the nature of the Secondary Blood Clan with a true mortal body without any cheats.
His willpower, character, and talent are definitely top-notch.
It's just a pity that he was born in the wrong era and is hundreds of years older than the other knights.
In addition to the Blood Knight, the Ash Knight, the Divine Light Knight, the Black Knight, and the Fire Dragon Knight, who are at the peak or late stages of the Sixth Ring, also need to face the choice of evolution or advancement.
In this regard, Levi fully respects their choices and will not impose his own will.
As long as the Twilight Temple continues to develop healthily, and as long as he lives long enough, he will always wait for the day when there is a second Mythic Knight besides himself.
The Twilight Temple has caught up with a good time, with himself leading with cheats, and the unprecedented convergence of planes, possessing the right timing, geographical advantages, and the support of the people. If ten thousand years is not enough, then ten thousand years. It is not impossible to build a complete mythic version of the Eighteen Knights.
A group of knights with firm faces, wearing armor stained with divine blood.
Every move they make can determine the general trend of the multi-faceted era, which is very exciting to think about.
Thinking of the difficulties the knights will face in evolution, Levi thought to himself:
"Relatively speaking, it is still safer for dual cultivators like the Steel Dragon Knight to take the path of evolution. At least it will be easier to survive the Darkness Tribulation. Although the Steel Dragon Knight has evolved once, he is now only a Legendary bloodline. The mythic path is a long way to go."
Dawn Tower.
Unknowingly, it was already the sixtieth birthday of Mu Di's son, Eddie.
Levi also went to join in the fun, only feeling that he had only blinked. The little baby from back then was already an old thing.
Eddie did not disappoint Mu Di and Aisha. He cultivated very hard and diligently, and did not waste his talent as a Child of Ice Element at all. Now he is already a Third Ring Completion Wizard.
In addition, the path of the Knight has not been neglected, and he is also a Second Ring Knight.
Whenever Aisha talked about him, her face was always filled with smiles, saying that Eddie's Knight talent was even better than hers.
In Mu Di's words, Eddie is no worse than those "top geniuses" of Wizard organizations. The only shortcoming is that he did not inherit his Holy Ape bloodline.
However, Aisha also promised to have a second or even a third child in the future.
They can't let Mu Di's Holy Ape bloodline be cut off. After all, his family in the mortal world has long been turned into dust in the torrent of the times.
Sharing the same troubles as Mu Di was the Golden Lion Knight, Dinos.
Although he has three children, unfortunately, none of them are boys who inherited the Golden Lion bloodline.
But now these three are also very promising.
The eldest, Lai Na, recently celebrated her hundredth birthday and is now a Third Ring Knight, titled "Jade Lion Knight". Her personality is more carefree, like a lioness.
The second, Lai Ya, is about the same age and is also a Third Ring Knight, titled "Peacock Knight". Her personality is much more introverted and quiet, completely different from the eldest.
The eldest and second sisters are both geniuses of the Twilight Temple, and they are also beautiful, so they have many suitors. The third, Lai De, is not bad either.
Although he does not have the Knight bloodline, his Wizard talent is very good. Like Mu Di's child, Eddie, he is also of the Frost School and is also a Third Ring Wizard, and is also a popular figure in the school.
Looking at these vibrant young people, Levi felt great as well.
These fresh blood are the future hope of the Ancient Dragon Continent.
Perhaps, in the distant future, they will be even more outstanding than their parents, going further on the path of Knights and Wizards. Passing down from generation to generation, a legacy passed on!
Dark Ancient Tower.
Fifth Layer.
In the Wind Spirit Tower, Kidman had already advanced to the late Sixth Ring.
This speed was average, with hope for the Seventh Ring, but it would be difficult to achieve greater accomplishments.
However, he himself was very happy.
If not for the Law Transmission Celestial Venerable, he would have had no possibility of reaching the Seventh Ring at all.
Seeing that figure in his dreams, Kidman's face was filled with joy.
"Celestial Venerable!"
Levi said, "Not bad, I will take you away in another hundred years."
Kidman's face was ecstatic.
"Thank you, Celestial Venerable!"
He finally had the opportunity to go to the outside world.
This excitement was no less than that of a cultivator suddenly being told by an immortal from the sky that he didn't need to cultivate anymore, just ascend with him.
The two newly hired Law Kings, Bo Locke and Ge Sais, had also made slight progress in their strength.
When they heard that Kidman actually had the opportunity to leave this cage, they couldn't help but feel envious.
Levi said, "You two should cultivate diligently and do a good job of transmitting the law. If you can advance to the late Sixth Ring, I will also take you away."
Anyway, it was only necessary to ensure that there were a few Law Kings on the Fifth Layer who could maintain basic order, and there was no need for too many people to stay here.
Moreover, most Law Kings, in their lifetime, actually couldn't cultivate to the late Sixth Ring, so Levi's words were almost like an empty promise.
The two Law Kings quickly thanked him and then began to report on their work over the past hundred years.
In the end, Levi obtained two more Children of Element and seven specially talented individuals. Both Children of Element were already at the Third Ring cultivation level, and the others included formal Wizards and Wizard Apprentices.
Before leaving, he left four Sixth Ring alchemical constructs here and rewarded these Law Kings with some Sixth Ring high-quality Wizard Tools.
"Don't use these alchemical constructs normally. Only use them if those alien races or Dark Beast experts invade the human race."
Kidman said:
"Junior understands! We will definitely protect the people of this Kane Empire."
Next, Levi quickly rushed to the Million Great Mountains. After picking the mushrooms, he went to the places he had marked as potentially containing Truth Wonders and harvested several Earth and Sky-Grade Oddities. He was now collecting these low-level Oddities to reward some talented juniors within the organization as incentives for promoting reproduction.
In fact, the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm had also produced a considerable number of Earth-Grade Oddities in recent years. Some of these Oddities had the potential to continue nurturing Sky-Grade Oddities, so Levi kept them. Those that didn't, he directly took away and placed in the treasure vault as the foundation of the organization.
According to his calculations over the years, Earth-Grade Oddities could generally be nurtured in several hundred years, but Sky-Grade Oddities took an average of about a thousand years, with the shortest taking seven or eight hundred years. Anyway, the Immortal Realm had only autonomously produced a few Sky-Grade Oddities so far.
As for Morning Star-Grade Oddities, it was even more uncertain when they would appear.
Even the King's Sword within the Sword of Victory had not yet been nurtured.
In general, Oddities, like Iron Trees, were something where the predecessors planted the trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade.
Sixth Layer of the Ancient Tower.
Levi didn't stay long, just searched around the places he had marked before.
With his current realm, the resources on the Fifth and Sixth Layers were of little use.
He wasn't the kind of person who plucked every feather from a passing goose, so he left them for the lucky ones 9300 years later.
Seventh Layer.
Saint Roland Continent.
Land of Runes.
West Forest City.
"Run! The Black Beast tide is here!"
"It's over, I saw the Earth Armor Saint get slapped to death by the Black Beast King..."
"Everyone, defend the city, open the barrier!"
"Don't panic, the Saint from Water Dragon City is coming to support us!"
Levi, hidden in the crowd, frowned.
"Is the Giant Beast Forbidden Zone causing trouble again? Another Saint has fallen."
On the distant horizon, the void cracked open, revealing a giant beast resembling a ground sloth, thousands of meters tall.
It stood upright, with extremely exaggerated arms. It was the one who slapped the Earth Armor Saint to death. Behind it, tens of thousands of Black Beast hordes spread across the sky, swarming in a dark mass. Among them were many Sixth Ring Black Beast Lords.
In terms of overall strength, the Giant Beast Forbidden Zone was far stronger than the Land of Runes.
If the Three Realms and Four Lands weren't mutually restraining each other, the human race would have no chance at all.
However, Levi was a little puzzled. Why weren't the other alien giants interfering this time? The giant beast roared and slapped the city's Magic Array.
The Magic Array, which could withstand the joint attacks of several Saints, was shattered.
"Bold!"
A Rune Master wearing a blue robe and surrounded by flowing water descended. It was the Water Dragon Saint. He conjured a water curtain, barely blocking the giant beast's attack.
In a hundred years, the Water Dragon Saint had also advanced to the Seventh Ring mid-stage, but compared to the giant beast, he was still lacking. Among the human race, only the Flame Wolf Saint could fight it.
The Water Dragon Saint restrained the giant beast, his heart anxious.
Decades ago, a divine mountain descended upon the Saint Roland Continent.
The divine mountain should be a new large-scale convergence point, containing many resources.
The Three Realms and Four Lands, in order to compete for the ownership of the divine mountain, tore up the previous peace agreement and began a new round of large-scale chaotic battles.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Giant Beast Forbidden Zone once again invaded the Land of Runes. Waves of Black Beast tides surged, causing the human race untold suffering, and many Rune Masters fell.
Even several Saints had died, including one Seventh Ring.
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the human race once again fell into hardship.
The Water Dragon Saint couldn't help but feel despair in his heart.
He had finally seen the opportunity for the human race to revive with the help of the Law Transmission Celestial Venerable.
But fate was playing tricks on them. Before it could even begin, it was about to end.
Fortunately, the hundred-year period had arrived, and it was the day the Law Transmission Celestial Venerable would descend.
They fought hard and finally persevered until this day.
They were looking forward to the Law Transmission Celestial Venerable descending, leading them to pacify those monsters and restore the human race to a stable life, seeking a chance to breathe.
Before long, the Water Dragon Saint was struggling more and more.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, from the Black Beast horde, another giant beast resembling a crocodile flew out.
Its body was covered in scales, exuding a metallic texture. Its movements were accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, sparks flying, and a violent force of metal elements surged, opening its mouth to spit out thousands of blades and iron swords, unstoppable.
"Another Seventh Ring mid-stage?"
The Water Dragon Saint's heart sank to the bottom.
Inside and outside the city, countless resisting Rune Masters also looked desperate, fearful, and trembling. In the face of such a natural disaster, they were too weak.
Mortals hid in their houses, afraid to look outside, waiting for death to come. Human lives were as worthless as grass, that's how it was.
They were used to it, and they were numb to it.
Sword light and rain of blades descended, threatening to overwhelm the city.
Just then, a Black Armor Swordsman soared into the air.
He extended his hand, and a dense golden light spread out.
"Magneto Domain! Inversion!"
All the blades and iron swords that had been hurtling towards the city arced gracefully, then, as if executing a sharp drift, shot straight up into the sky and disappeared!
"What's going on?"
"Why are we still alive?"
"Who is that?"
"Never seen him before, is he a Rune Saint?"
"Doesn't seem like it."
The people who had narrowly escaped death stared at the Black Armor Swordsman in the sky.
He was surrounded by golden light, and after pointing a finger at the sky, he pointed it towards the wilderness ahead.
In an instant, the clouds turned into sieves.
Countless iron swords and blades rained down, piercing into the Black Beast horde.
In the blink of an eye, large swaths of Black Beasts fell.
The Water Dragon Saint, witnessing this scene and the towering figure of the Black Armor Swordsman, was overjoyed.
"Water Dragon greets the Law Transmission Celestial Venerable!"
With the Law Transmission Celestial Venerable here, they were saved.
Even if the Law Transmission Celestial Venerable couldn't defeat an Eighth Ring, he was more than capable of dealing with these Seventh Rings. Next, everyone could unite and slowly fight against the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.
Levi said:
"Water Dragon, step back."
The Water Dragon Saint quickly moved aside.
The Giant Beast's claws were relentless, tearing through the void to continue its attack, but it crashed head-on into the golden light surrounding Levi, becoming trapped as if in a quagmire, unable to move.
He didn't even draw his sword, merely exchanged a blow with his fist against the claw.
A crisp sound of bone cracking echoed, and the Giant Beast's claw exploded entirely, scattering into a bloody mist. The Giant Beast, in pain, clearly hadn't expected the insignificant human to possess such a powerful physique.
Unwilling to concede, it swatted with its other giant claw.
Bang, another burst of bloody mist filled the air.
Having lost both arms in the blink of an eye, the Giant Beast was dumbfounded.
It couldn't fight like this! Its claws could shatter mountains and the force fields of Seventh Ring Saints, yet it couldn't even withstand a single punch from that man...
Realizing it was no match, it tried to flee.
Levi, chanting softly, pointed a finger.
Absolute Zero!
The Giant Beast was frozen, unable to move.
It was as if even the surrounding space-time had paused for a moment.
Levi landed heavily on the Giant Beast's head, and with a gentle twist, the mountain-sized head tumbled off with a glug.
A pillar of blood shot straight into the sky, showering down as bloody rain.
Boom, the thousand-meter body collapsed to the ground.
All of this happened in a flash of lightning.
The Rune Masters and mortals within the city were so shocked that they were speechless, and the sound of gasps filled the air.
"Is this a god?"
"Or is this a Kingly Rune Master?"
"Too strong, a Sixth Ring late-stage Black Beast, gone in an instant."
"Terrifying."
Even the Water Dragon Saint was stunned.
He had seen the Law Transmission Celestial Venerable take action two hundred years ago. At that time, although he was also completely outmatched, it was definitely not to the point of instantly killing a Sixth Ring late-stage being with one blow.
Only two hundred years had passed, and he could no longer see through the Law Transmission Celestial Venerable's strength at all... Perhaps, even an Seventh Ring would not be the Law Transmission Celestial Venerable's opponent.
