The seventh floor.
In the wilderness.
Jia Ba's expression changed.
"Who are you? This Venerable One has met all the Saints of the Land of Runes."
Levi said, "I am but a nameless nobody. You still haven't answered my question?"
Jia Ba's face was livid.
"I don't care who you are, disappear from my sight immediately. I am royalty of the Land of Flames, and my father is an Eighth Ring powerhouse, the strongest person in this world."
His father was the ruler of the Land of Flames, the old codger he spoke of.
The strength of the Flame Clan was considered upper-middle among the Three Realms and Four Lands.
Apart from suffering losses from the invasion of outsiders hundreds of years ago, no one dared to provoke the Land of Flames on this Saint Roland Continent.
And the outsiders had long since left. Among the humans, apart from those Saint-ranked Marquis, there were no powerhouses at all.
This human before him seemed to be a Rune Saint cultivating in seclusion somewhere.
He couldn't possibly be an outsider.
They had captured some outsiders before and knew that when the time came, they would inevitably leave.
Even the outsiders imprisoned in the Flame Clan's prisons would suddenly disappear on that day.
Therefore, no outsider could remain on the Saint Roland Continent.
Levi said, "Forget it, I won't waste words. Today, this opportunity... you'll have to take it whether you want it or not!"
He raised his hand, and the Nine-Headed Emperor Dragon roared out, pulling the Emperor Primal Soul, unstoppable!
"Flame Stream Strike!"
Jia Ba took a deep breath and struck out with his palm, a vast river of crimson flames flowing, stretching for dozens of miles across the Sky.
The Emperor raised the Red Dragon Ironcleaver, his aura erupting.
Chaos Sword Qi split the river of crimson flames, sweeping towards Jia Ba with irresistible force.
"Flame Stream Wall!"
Jia Ba stomped fiercely, and countless magma emerged, condensing into a high wall of magma in front of him! At the same time, he extended his right palm, a crack opening in the center.
"Flame Shot!"
Boom! An incomparably condensed ray of crimson flame shattered the Void! It struck Levi before he could react.
From the start, both sides engaged in a life-or-death struggle, leaving no room for retreat.
The golden force field was melted open, and the ray pierced through Levi's chest.
He calmly looked at his obliterated heart, grinning, "Not bad attack, compressing all the energy into one point, pursuing maximum penetration."
On the other side, Chaos Sword Qi had already blasted Jia Ba away, the indestructible red scales scattering across the Sky Dome.
Jia Ba looked at Levi with shock, as if looking at a demon god.
"What kind of monster is this? An Undying Body?"
He saw that Levi's chest had already recovered as if nothing had happened.
A mere fatal wound was not worth fearing.
At this moment, Levi was like the most classic villain in movies.
His face was full of arrogant smiles, his body burly, an immortal and indestructible body.
Boom! The Nine-Headed Emperor Dragon swooped down, a gale sweeping, and the Water Dragon's Chant howled, entangling him.
The Ice Dragon Prison domain unfolded, sealing off all his escape routes.
The Emperor leaped down from the Sky, the giant sword slashing towards Jia Ba!
"Flame Shield!"
Jia Ba raised both hands, and a small scarlet shield appeared, orbiting above its head.
Boom! Sword and shield collided! The sound of metal clashing echoed through the sky.
The small shield was knocked away, but it was unscathed. It seemed to be an extraordinary treasure as well.
The Nine-Headed Emperor Dragon roared towards the sky, and the clouds and mist in the sky condensed into two looming thousand-meter Water Dragons.
The Water Dragons exuded the aura of the Seventh Ring Initial Stage, and quickly attacked, surrounding Jia Ba.
Not only that, but a loud and clear eagle cry came from the Sky.
A cyan Giant Eagle of Wind with a wingspan of a thousand meters appeared, it was Maiya!
Behind Jia Ba, a mountain-like Giant emerged, wielding a bone knife, and slashed down fiercely! The Giant Whale King also joined the siege.
So many Seventh Ring fighters, plus the Emperor Dragon and the Emperor Primal Soul, it was a complete one-sided crush.
Even its Seventh Ring Intermediate Stage cultivation was useless.
Levi watched leisurely from the side.
"Friend, do you want my opportunity?"
"Don't you want to become the King of the Land of Flames?"
He had originally come to find the Flame Wolf Saint, but unexpectedly encountered Jia Ba, a strong Flame Clan member.
Through the information from the Water Dragon Saint and others, Levi learned that Jia Ba and the Flame Wolf Saint were quite close.
The current Land of Flames's ruler was old and nearing the end of its life.
It seemed to be coveting the throne of the Land of Flames. After all, besides Jia Ba, it had several brothers, so there was competition.
And Jia Ba itself was not the eldest son.
Because of the previous invasion of outsiders, its strength was at the bottom among these brothers.
Only a Seventh Ring Intermediate Stage cultivation.
So Levi came up with a plan, intending to start with Jia Ba and leave a chess piece in the Land of Flames.
When the time came, he would support Jia Ba to ascend to the throne, and Levi would be the behind-the-scenes Supreme Emperor.
Jia Ba was like a lone boat, teetering in the face of various Seventh Ring attacks.
It tried to escape several times, but was stopped.
After an unknown amount of time being ganged up on, Jia Ba's mental defenses finally broke down.
It looked at Levi, its voice trembling: "You... what exactly do you want? I have no grievances with you."
Levi smiled:
"I told you, I want to give you a great opportunity."
Boom! Accompanied by the Nine-Headed Emperor Dragon's tail sweep, Jia Ba flew out, crashing into the Emperor Primal Soul's solid chest.
Its entire body of scarlet scales was broken and tattered, and Flame Blood flowed freely.
The Emperor Primal Soul flicked it away, and the sword body slapped Jia Ba back in front of Levi.
Levi stretched out his hand, like an eagle catching a chick, and grabbed Jia Ba's head.
He smiled grimly: "I'm kindly offering you an opportunity, don't be ungrateful, buddy."
Jia Ba's body trembled, partly because of fear, and partly because of humiliation.
As a member of the Land of Flames's royal family, it was among the most powerful people in this world.
In the eyes of those humble humans, it was even like a "Heavenly Dragon Person".
But now, it was being manipulated by this human like a tattered ball.
Humiliation! What humiliation!
But its life was more important, so even if it was humiliated, it dared not resist.
Jia Ba said, "Please speak, Your Excellency."
Levi said, "As long as you obey me, I will support you to become the ruler of the Land of Flames, and in the future, I will help you unify the Three Realms and Four Lands!"
Jia Ba's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. "Unify the Three Realms and Four Lands? Does Your Excellency know how many 'Apex Experts' there are in the Three Realms and Four Lands?"
On the Saint Roland Continent, the Eighth Ring is called the 'Apex,' meaning the pinnacle of the sky and the apex of the era. They are the strongest from ancient times to the present! Seeing that Levi did not speak, Jia Ba couldn't help but say, "Just the ones I know, there are ten... Unless one steps into the realm above the Apex, no one has been able to do this throughout history. But above the Apex, there is no path. Even Apex Experts can only be bound to this world and cannot leave."
What Jia Ba said was not without reason. With so many Eighth Ring experts and the strength of the alien races born in this world, it would indeed be difficult to subdue them unless one advanced to the Ninth Ring.
However, Levi was different. He was the number one existence in his realm, far surpassing others. Since he began cultivating, his record of fighting beyond his level had not been broken. Even with the chasm between the Fifth and Sixth Rings, he had once Defeated a Higher Level Opponent! Levi said, "You only need to do as I say and swear on this sword."
He took out the Oath Sword.
As soon as this blue longsword emitting a precious light appeared, Jia Ba knew that from now on, it would probably have no freedom. The Emperor's longsword was placed on Jia Ba's neck, and it "voluntarily" made the oath.
Levi said, "If you want to live, don't play tricks."
Jia Ba said, "I understand."
It could feel an indescribable power binding its soul in the dark. Levi didn't have enough slots for the Scarlet Contract right now, but fortunately, the Oath Sword could also be used on alien races. As long as they were not special existences like devils and demons, the effect of the Oath Sword was definitely not a problem.
Next, Levi "searched" Jia Ba's body, obtaining several good things. For example, the Seventh Ring 'Red Flame Star Metal,' which was a specialty of the Land of Flames. It was an excellent material for refining fire-type treasures, Wizard Tools, or Magic Arrays. It was also the main resource that Wizards went to the Land of Flames to snatch every time the Ancient Tower opened. However, with an Eighth Ring expert guarding the Land of Flames, most Wizards could only return empty-handed.
The piece that Levi obtained from Jia Ba was enough to refine one Seventh Ring Wizard Tool. In addition, there was also a three-thousand-year-old 'Flowing Fire Fruit.' This was a cultivation treasure that Wizards of the Combustion Faction dreamed of. After taking it, it could greatly improve one's mental strength and also slightly improve one's talent. Of course, for a Flame Clan member like Jia Ba, it was an supreme holy fruit with equally significant effects. However, even in the Land of Flames, the Flowing Fire Fruit was very rare. It could only be found in some newly formed confluence areas of the Saint Roland Continent. Therefore, Jia Ba secretly manipulated the Flame Wolf Saint, using its position to pua him, making the Flame Wolf Saint use the Rune Masters under his command to search for the holy fruit all over the world.
Of course, now it all belonged to Levi. In addition, Jia Ba also had a Seventh Ring treasure on its body, which was the 'Flame Shield.' This was its life-saving treasure, which could withstand a strike from an Emperor.
Its defensive power is comparable to a Seventh Ring high-quality Wizard artifact.
Levi unceremoniously took it away; this item was perfect for Ace's protection.
Levi didn't loot Jia Ba clean, as he still needed Jia Ba to work for him.
Before leaving, Levi said to Jia Ba:
"Don't disappoint me, buddy. Survival and death are in your hands."
Jia Ba said, "I understand."
He was the knife, and it was the fish; it knew what was good for it.
Watching Jia Ba leave, Levi's expression remained calm.
Even if Jia Ba betrayed him, he wouldn't suffer any losses.
Frankly, he just lacked time right now.
Supporting the rise of the Saint Roland human race wasn't essential.
Once he advanced to Eighth Ring or Seventh Ring perfection, he would be invincible in this seventh layer.
At that time, he could just do a major reshuffle like in the fifth layer, which would be quite nice.
Zu La City.
The Flame Wolf Saint looked displeased.
"This Jia Ba, with his mere Seventh Ring mid-stage cultivation, dares to be presumptuous in front of me... If not for his Eighth Ring father, what would he be?"
"Once I, the Flame Wolf, advance to Eighth Ring and become the supreme King Authority Saint, wouldn't the position of national ruler be mine?"
It was assigned to this Rune Land because of its human bloodline.
But its own ambitions were also extremely high.
Suddenly.
The Flame Wolf Saint received a message from the Water Dragon Saint, saying there was something to discuss.
Without suspecting a trap, it immediately waved its sleeve and disappeared.
Rune Mountain.
This was where the various Saints gathered to discuss matters.
A total of thirteen figures gathered here.
In the distance, red clouds filled the sky as a figure in a scarlet robe leisurely arrived.
The Flame Wolf Saint laughed and said, "With all of you gathered here, has something major happened?"
The Water Dragon Saint suddenly asked, "Flame Wolf, do you consider yourself human or Flame race?"
The Flame Wolf Saint said without hesitation, "Does that even need to be said? I am naturally human."
The Gale Saint said:
"We called you here for one thing: to overthrow the rule of the Three Realms and Four Lands."
The Flame Wolf Saint's expression changed.
"What do you want to do? Rebel? If any of the Three Realms and Four Lands make a move, our Rune Land will be flattened."
The Sandstorm Saint said:
"Flame Wolf, our human race has eked out an existence on this Saint Roland Continent for tens of millions of years. It's time to start fighting back. As a human, don't you have a surge of passion in your heart?"
Hearing these uncharacteristic words from the three Marquis Saints, the Flame Wolf Saint sensed something was wrong.
These three usually acted cautiously in front of him, so why were they so righteous today?
And they kept talking about the great cause of the human race.
The Flame Wolf Saint frowned and said:
"What's going on with you guys? Were you threatened by someone?"
Suddenly, his expression changed.
An ethereal and unpredictable voice came from the Sky.
"Flame Wolf Saint, you are mistaken. We are all acting voluntarily for the good of the human race, so how could we be threatened? Since you consider yourself a member of the human race, why not join us and restore the glory of the human race? It is our duty to do so!"
A black-armored swordsman, carrying a giant sword, stood proudly.
The Flame Wolf Saint said coldly:
"What do you think you are? How dare you lecture me!"
Boom! A Sixth Ring late-stage aura erupted.
Even the other dozen or so Saints, including the Marquis-level Saints, had drastic changes in their expressions.
Levi laughed:
"Such a weak Sixth Ring late-stage is truly uninteresting. Everyone, let's begin."
Those Saints controlled by him showed reluctance, but still took action.
The Water Dragon Saint said:
"Flame Wolf, don't resist. You can't possibly be Law Transmission Celestial Venerable's opponent."
He waved his hand, and a Water Dragon shot out, blasting towards the Flame Wolf Saint.
The other Saints also displayed their unique abilities, surrounding the Flame Wolf Saint.
The Flame Wolf Saint fought against many, but with his higher realm, he could barely support himself in the initial stages.
But as the saying goes, a flurry of punches can kill a master.
Everyone was a Saint, and the gap wasn't as insurmountable as that between the Fifth and Sixth Rings.
The Flame Wolf Saint quickly discovered that his force field recovery speed couldn't keep up with the destructive speed of the bombardment.
His mental power and Saint Power were rapidly depleting.
"Damn it, you forced me to do this!"
The Flame Wolf Saint tried his best to stimulate his Flame Clan bloodline, and dense scales grew on his body.
Muscles bulged and knotted together.
He spat out a cloud of sulfurous smoke, his eyes bloodshot, transforming into a ferocious beast, and blasted towards the Water Dragon Saint.
Magic and physical strength erupted simultaneously, shattering the Water Dragon Saint's force field with a punch, sending him flying.
Seeing the Flame Wolf Saint going berserk, everyone was also shocked.
They clearly hadn't expected him to have hidden strength.
The frenzied Flame Wolf Saint broke through the encirclement in a few moves.
This made Levi, who was watching the show, mutter inwardly.
"So many people can't beat one, sigh, too weak..."
He pressed his palm in the void.
Silver Mountain Skyfall, Wind Illusion Realm! With a wave of his hand, the Flame Wolf Saint, who was trying to escape, was sealed off by the void.
Ever since he had these two moves, Levi had no use for Beasts' Fight anymore.
The Flame Wolf Saint had already consumed a lot of energy fighting the crowd.
Now he was at his wit's end, he looked at the black-armored swordsman with a complex expression.
Behind the swordsman, a Nine-Headed Emperor Dragon phantom with a wingspan of two thousand meters emerged, looking down on all living beings.
"Friend, I am willing to work with everyone to restore the glory of the human race, don't kill me!"
He knew that he was doomed today.
He had never imagined that there would be such a strong person among the human race.
Could this person have secretly become a Saint of Kingship, and the aura before me is just a disguise?
Levi laughed:
"Very good, the reason I've gathered everyone here today is to discuss this matter. Let's not let it lead to unpleasantness. Flame Wolf Saint, make an oath, and you may take your seat."
The Flame Wolf Saint could only comply.
At the meeting.
The fourteen Saints, under the witness of the Oath Sword, jointly swore an oath not to betray the human race.
Violators would be executed by the Oath Sword!
The Flame Wolf Saint felt sorrow in his heart, lamenting that he was born at the wrong time.
Before he could achieve great things, he had already died halfway, becoming someone else's subordinate.
Levi said, "Water Dragon, distribute the Law Transmission Crystal Ball to all the Saints."
These Saints, especially the Flame Wolf Saint, with suspicion in their eyes, browsed the contents of the Crystal Ball.
Then their expressions changed, especially the Flame Wolf Saint, who had just resisted the most fiercely.
He couldn't help but reveal a smile at the corner of his mouth, laughing madly:
"This... this is the true Rune Master inheritance! No wonder I always felt that my Knowledge was missing something. Alas, if only I had met the Law Transmission Celestial Venerable sooner. Now that the foundation is laid, it's difficult to change."
"Celestial Venerable above, please accept a bow from the Flame Wolf. I hope the Celestial Venerable does not blame me for my rudeness just now."
The true fragrance law!
Levi said, "You only need to complete my tasks according to my requirements. If you exceed the task targets, I will have extra rewards."
The Flame Wolf Saint was the first to say:
"Celestial Venerable, rest assured, I guarantee the completion of the task!"
Levi said:
"Everyone, the hope for the rise of the human race lies on you. A hundred years from now, I will descend upon this world again to examine your results. You must do your best and not disappoint my expectations... I can make you, and I can destroy you."
Levi's figure dissipated, leaving these Saints alone, staring blankly at the Sky.
"It seems that this person is indeed the Enforcer of this world."
"Yes, it seems that our Saint Roland Continent is just an inner world created by outsiders to make treasures. The Law Transmission Celestial Venerable must also be an outsider, responsible for managing us."
"Fortunately, I didn't resist. It is said that those who didn't join have disappeared."
"For us, outsiders like the Law Transmission Celestial Venerable are like gods. Resistance is futile. Finding a way to overthrow the Three Realms and Four Lands that are pressing down on us is the right solution."
The Rune Saints dispersed, beginning their Law Transmission careers.
As long as the seeds are sown, the wildfire cannot burn them out; when the spring breeze blows, they will grow again.
One day, the Three Realms and Four Lands can be overthrown from their altars, ushering in a prosperous age for the human race!...
South of the Saint Roland Continent.
Giant Beast Forbidden Zone.
Here, the mountains stretch endlessly, and miasma abounds.
The roars of beasts rise and fall, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing.
From time to time, huge shadows can be seen passing through the fog, and even the mountain rocks are shattered.
Levi's figure appeared, looking at the foggy area ahead.
"The entire Giant Beast Forbidden Zone is shrouded in fog, stretching for who knows how many thousands of miles. In addition to the Star Devouring Spider King, I also need to be careful of the Seventh Ring and even Eighth Ring Black Beasts that exist within... However, there are not many of these two types of Black Beasts, and they are generally distributed in the center of the Forbidden Zone. This time, I will just hunt some Black Beasts on the periphery, without needing to go deep. When my Strength is further improved, I will then sweep away this Forbidden Zone."
Levi's Hermit Rune flickered, disappearing into the mist.
At the same time.
Center of the Forbidden Zone.
A piece of yellow sand land appeared abruptly here, with no end in sight.
Beneath the yellow sands lies a scarlet giant shell, a kilometer in diameter.
Within it, a slender, winged dragon slumbers.
No one knows when it will awaken.
"Thankfully, Hanks is alright, but where is this?"
The Golden Emperor was filled with doubt. He had just awakened from unconsciousness to find himself in a boundless fog.
Instinct told him that this fog was not simple, and the roars of beasts echoed from afar.
The Golden Emperor mustered his courage and flew towards the ruins.
No matter what, he had to obtain the inheritance within the ruins first.
Along the way, after hunting down some Black Beasts, the Golden Emperor's expression grew increasingly grave.
"How does it feel like this place is... inside the Dark Ancient Tower?"
He had participated in the previous grand opening of the ancient tower and had also explored the Giant Beast Forbidden Zone.
The aura of this place stirred up distant memories.
In the end, the Golden Emperor confirmed that this was indeed inside the Dark Ancient Tower.
Because in a wilderness, he found a Storage Bag with the Sea Abyss Alliance's emblem on it.
Next to it was a corpse, which could vaguely be identified as a Seventh Ring powerhouse in life.
Picking up the spoils of a Seventh Ring Wizard, the Golden Emperor couldn't bring himself to be happy.
"I'm trapped in the Dark Ancient Tower forever... What am I going to do?"
Throughout history, cases like his were extremely rare.
"Never mind, I'll go to the ruins first. Perhaps I can find a way out there."
Before long, the Golden Emperor arrived at the ruins.
He tried every means to break through the already half-Failed Magic Array and restrictions on the periphery, and entered.
He didn't notice that in the fog behind him, the silhouette of a giant creature loomed.
Eight legs, each at least a kilometer high, propped up the eight directions of the Sky, like pillars.
Pair after pair of blue lanterns lit up.
Edge of the Forbidden Zone.
"To improve efficiency, I'll just release a Nine-Leaf Blood Mandala here."
"If I accidentally attract an Eighth Ring Black Beast, I'll immediately run away."
After arranging everything, Levi hid to the side and began to wait.
Before long, a Black Beast pack, following the scent, arrived at this place.
With a thought, Levi released the Shadow Dragon Multitude.
Unless he encountered a Sixth Ring or higher Black Beast, he couldn't be bothered to take action himself.
The ten thousand-strong shadow legion quickly surrounded and annihilated the Black Beasts.
Next, following the same pattern, Levi began to harvest Black Beasts on a large scale.
"It's time for my favorite part: persecuting Black Beasts."
Roar! A giant tiger Black Beast, exuding a Sixth Ring aura, came riding the wind.
In the next moment, the shadows of Xi Mu and the Giant Whale King extinguished it.
The giant tiger's hide was stripped off, a good material for refining Divine Talismans.
"Not bad, with the Shadow Dragon Multitude, hunting Black Beasts is just an idle game for me."
As time passed, the density of Black Beasts continued to increase.
However, everything is within the Shadow Dragon Multitude's response range.
Levi rarely takes action, instead hiding to the side, waiting for a big fish.
Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
Mana and A Long stared blankly at the Black Beast corpses falling from the sky, quickly piling up like mountains.
"This guy is starting again. A Long, your good days are here again."
After so many years of development, A Long is now a thousand meters long, bloated like a tunnel.
Its massive body can easily loosen more soil.
The black crystal within its translucent body is becoming more rounded and profound.
It exudes an unspeakable aura of terror.
The next day.
Along with the black mist spreading, a giant snake in the early Sixth Ring stage suddenly emerged.
It swayed its body, flinging away all the Black Beasts near the Nine-Leaf Blood Mandala, attempting to monopolize the treasure.
An eagle's cry echoed, and the Maiya Spirit and two giant eagles formed from Wind Spirit Soldiers appeared together.
The three giant eagles waved countless Wind Blades, instantly submerging the giant snake.
The giant snake, in pain, swung its tail, sending the giant eagles flying, and opened its mouth to spew out a thick, inky black poisonous mist.
"Badger Way·Fight Heaven and Earth!"
Sword Qi, imbued with the aura of the three energies of man and the sun, moon, and stars, tore through the mist, cleaved the heavens and earth, and slammed into the giant snake's body!
Sizzle.
The thousand-meter-long snake body was instantly split in two.
The sword Qi's momentum did not diminish, shattering several mountain ranges in succession before finally stopping.
Levi sheathed his sword; this set of actions was smooth and deadly.
The giant snake's aura was completely gone, and its soul could not be wasted, so Lyon captured it.
In fact, Lyon had already stockpiled enough food to advance to the Seventh Ring; now, it was stocking up on canned goods for after the Seventh Ring.
Levi used his longsword to skin the giant snake; these were excellent materials for refining weapons.
In addition, there was also a pitch-black snake gall.
Levi pierced it, and poisonous liquid flowed out, which he caught with a specially made container.
"This is a natural Seventh Ring level poison, and it's extremely precious."
In addition, the snake gall of this giant snake itself, after special refinement, can also be used as a potion.
After taking it, the effect is similar to that of a Soul Stone; it can directly increase a significant amount of spiritual power, saving years of hard work.
"The snake teeth are also excellent materials for refining Seventh Ring Wizard tools… it's a treasure from head to toe."
Black Beasts are indeed Levi's best brothers.
With these big guys around, the Holy Infant will not lack the main refining materials after reaching the Seventh Ring in the future.
Before long, the giant snake was dissected.
Suddenly, a white thread broke through the void, flew out from the giant snake's head, and shot towards him!
"I knew it; why did I still feel a sense of danger after the giant snake died? So you were the one causing trouble!"
Levi had expected this; golden light shone brightly, gravitational force protected his body, the Snow Iron Dragon Armor appeared, and the Red Emperor Domain was activated! The white thread rushed into the domain and began to dissolve continuously.
Seeming to sense that Levi was not easy to deal with, the white thread began to retreat, Fled into the Void.
"Want to run? No way!"
"Frost Way! Freezing Ice Sword World!"
Levi casually unleashed a sword strike, and the Freezing Ice World sealed the white thread within.
Afterward, Silver Mountain Skyfall and Wind Illusion Realm descended.
He then threw out the Purple Saint Crucible.
The white silk thread was incredibly agile, dodging the crucible's suction.
However, in its path, the Gluttony Pouch had already predicted and laid an ambush.
Levi reached out and summoned the Gluttony Pouch into his palm.
Inside, the white silk thread revealed its true form, a palm-sized, translucent spider.
Its entire body shimmered as if cast from starlight.
"Tsk, tsk, Star Devouring Spider King, a dignified Eighth Ring powerhouse, yet you only dare to lurk in the shadows?"
Levi sneered.
Suddenly, a human face appeared on the spider's back.
"Human, how dare you capture This Venerable One's clone? Release me immediately, or you'll regret it!"
Levi activated the Gluttony Pouch, and the flames inside grew even more intense.
The little spider struggled and wailed incessantly within.
"A mere clone dares to be so arrogant?"
Before long, the little spider's struggles grew weaker and weaker.
"I admit defeat. As long as you release this clone of mine, I'm willing to give you unimaginable Rune Stones. As a Rune Saint, you should need them, right?"
Rune Stones were Great Stones.
This Star Devouring Spider King had harmed countless Wizard powerhouses during the last opening of the Dark Ancient Tower.
In addition to plundering the Land of Runes, it had indeed hoarded quite a few.
Levi smiled:
"Looks like this clone is quite important to you."
The flames of the Gluttony Pouch gradually diminished.
Levi didn't plan to kill it now; he intended to keep it to study the Star Devouring Spider King's weaknesses and abilities.
Then, when his strength was sufficient, he would enter the Dark Ancient Tower again and use this clone to find the Spider King and subdue it.
This Star Devouring Spider King was extremely special, according to ancient records.
This species was related to the Mythical-level being of the Multiverse, the Star Web Spider.
Legend has it that the Star Web Spider could weave boundless webs that could envelop even stars! Its web was hidden in the Darkness Zone, waiting for unfortunate souls to walk right into it.
Historically, a Legendary Wizard had been caught in the web and struggled greatly to escape.
In the Star Web Spider's lair, one might even find the bones of angels and gods.
In other words, it could even hunt gods!
Therefore, if he could subdue this Spider King.
Below the Ninth Ring, using its ability to control other living beings, Levi could basically walk unhindered! Levi alone was an army, and the Spider King alone was also an army.
One man and one beast, invincible! Seeing that sweet talk was ineffective, the Spider King fell silent.
Levi sent Lyon into the Gluttony Pouch.
"What are you doing? Ah! It hurts!"
Lyon bit the little spider, injecting his venom and causing it to fall into a deep sleep.
This was mainly to prevent the Spider King's clone from committing suicide.
Levi also placed other restrictions on the little spider and sealed the Gluttony Pouch.
"Next, just sleep inside."
He sent the Gluttony Pouch into the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, to be guarded by the Dragon Palace members.
After all, it was an Eighth Ring powerhouse's clone, not to be underestimated.
Having done all this, Levi immediately made a run for it! Just kidding, having offended the master of this forbidden zone, he was in no mood to continue hunting.
He might as well go to the Thunder Pool and seek other opportunities.
At the same time.
The center of the Giant Beast Forbidden Zone.
Above the yellow sand ruins, the Golden Emperor was wrapped in spider silk like a giant dumpling.
He stared in horror at the giant creature in the high Sky.
"Star Devouring... Spider King."
The aura of this Spider King was even stronger than that of his father, the Gold Melting Wizard King, who had advanced to the Eighth Ring for hundreds of years.
It was actually in the mid-stage of the Eighth Ring.
This, in the Wizard World, was also a giant figure below the Great Wizards.
"It's over... it's over."
In the next moment, the Golden Emperor lost consciousness.
A white spider silk pierced his brow and entered his sea of consciousness.
A translucent little spider appeared in his mind, and then unceremoniously burrowed into his Primal Soul.
"This is... soul snatching?"
After the spider took up residence in the Primal Soul, countless threads descended from the Sky and inserted themselves into the Primal Soul.
This scene was like a shadow play.
In the next moment, the Golden Emperor woke up, his heart filled with horror.
"I... I can't control myself!"
"What's going on? I can't even speak?"
This feeling, like being held down by a ghost, suffocated him.
He was clearly conscious, but he couldn't move according to his own will.
None of his organs would listen to him.
"Go, go find that damned human! Bring back my clone!"
In the mist, figures of giant beasts or humans flew out of the forbidden zone, heading in all directions.
"Damn it!"
The Golden Emperor was also forced to fly out, his heart filled with despair.
High in the Sky Dome, the Spider King's blue eyes turned.
"This Saint Roland Continent is full of my eyes and ears, human, you have already chosen your own death!"
All along, it had been like a god in the southern part of this continent.
A mere human, resisting it, it could not swallow this breath no matter what.
Above the boundless swamp, thunderclouds were dense.
From time to time, Lightning fell from the Sky, making people palpitate.
A purple rift ran through the Sky and earth.
Two members of the Thunder Marsh Tribe, exuding a Sixth Ring aura, held giant weapons and guarded the entrance to the rift.
"These two Thunder Marsh Tribe people are hundreds of meters tall, as expected of the descendants of the Thunder Giants."
Levi was hidden at the entrance to the Thunder Marsh, but the two guards turned a blind eye.
His concealment methods were too superb, and the defenses of these Thunder Marsh Tribe were like decorations.
"Recently, a sense of danger has been lingering. That Spider King must have dispatched its subordinates to search the world for me."
Levi didn't care about this. He was about to leave the Dark Ancient Tower.
When he returned next time, he would be a seasoned Seventh Ring Wizard, even less afraid.
And so, Levi swaggered into the Thunder Pool Secret Realm.
The two Sixth Ring guards were still chatting.
"Have you heard? Recently, there seems to be some activity in the Giant Beast Forbidden Zone. It seems that a human provoked the Spider King, and the Spider King was furious, dispatching a large army to the Land of Runes to search for that human."
"Heh, the Giant Beast Forbidden Zone is nothing special. We still have to rely on our Thunder Realm."
"That's right, with us brothers guarding the gate, the Thunder Realm is as solid as a rock!"
"Exactly, not even a fly can get in!"
Inside the Thunder Pool Secret Realm.
Levi looked at the Sky Dome, and as far as the eye could see, it was all Thunder.
Some weak Thunder Element Spirits shuttled through it.
Levi was tempted to catch some and take them back to the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm to cultivate.
However, worried about exposing himself, he didn't act for the time being.
It wouldn't be too late to grab them casually when he left the Thunder Pool Secret Realm.
His main purpose this time was to find a Thunder-type Truth Wonder.
According to Hundred Flowers, when they acted, they sensed more than one Truth Wonder in the depths of the Thunder Pool.
However, these Truth Wonders were basically guarded by powerful Thunder Element Spirits, forming a symbiotic relationship.
After they acted, they quickly alarmed the Thunder Marsh Tribe experts in this area.
Helplessly, after obtaining the Thunder God's Eye, they quickly left.
Levi felt that with his luck, plus A Jin's own abilities, he should be able to gain something.
Several days later.
Levi cautiously sneaked through the Secret Realm.
Along the way, he found some rare Thunder-type herbs and ores.
They were all treasures rarely seen outside, and many were above Sixth Ring.
On this day, his figure appeared in a purple forest.
Each of the trees with purple Thunder Patterns grew tall into the clouds, any one of them reaching a hundred meters.
"Thunder Pattern Wood, a Rare Wood of the Thunder element, extremely hard, rich in the power of Thunder elements, able to attract the Thunder of the Sky."
Levi's face lit up with joy.
"Unfortunately, they are all less than a thousand years old, only Fifth Ring materials. If they were ten-thousand-year-old Thunder Pattern Wood, they would be high-quality Sixth Ring materials, and it would be no problem to use them to build a Wizard Tower."
"Wait, this place has existed for so long, there must be ten-thousand-year-old Thunder Pattern Wood. It seems that it should have been cut down by the Thunder Marsh Tribe."
In the forest, there were some huge pits, which were obviously the places where ten-thousand-year-old Thunder Pattern Wood originally grew.
"The Giant race likes to build spectacles the most. Those truly excellent Thunder Pattern Woods, without a doubt, must have been used to build their own royal palaces..."
Levi frowned slightly. With his current Strength, he would definitely not dare to fight an Eighth Ring Wizard head-on.
Moreover, there might be more than one Eighth Ring Wizard in the Thunder Pool Secret Realm.
Levi put this matter aside for the time being and continued to explore the Secret Realm.
He had to find at least one Morning Star-level Wonder to make his adventure worthwhile.
He would take a few of those Thunder Woods that were less than a thousand years old and planned to transplant them in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm to leave a seed.
He didn't touch the others.
Because this is the most suitable place for them to grow, taking them all would be a waste of resources, like pulling up seedlings to help them grow.
And so.
Another month passed.
The Thunder Pool Secret Realm is as large as a medium-sized plane with a larger area.
Levi estimated that this place was originally a complete plane that was sucked in by the Dark Ancient Tower and fell here.
He avoided the Thunder Marsh Tribe gathering places along the way, wandering in the wilderness.
This day.
He came to a giant purple lake and his face lit up with joy.
"A lake of Thunder Plasma spanning thousands of miles... there must be a Truth Wonder nurtured here."
At the same time, Levi also felt a sense of danger permeating the area.
Obviously, there should be a strong presence in the lake, probably at the Seventh Ring or higher.
It may be a Thunder Marsh Tribe member cultivating here, or it may be a Thunder Element Spirit.
Levi followed A Jin's instructions and sneaked into the lake.
Cracking purple Thunder Plasma enveloped Levi.
"This Thunder Plasma can instantly shatter the force field of a Fifth Ring Wizard."
Levi did not activate his defenses, bathing in it, taking this opportunity to temper his body.
A tingling sensation came, and Levi actually felt comfortable.
He continued to go deeper, the power of the Thunder becoming stronger and stronger, almost approaching a Sixth Ring spell, and it was still a continuous attack.
Even a Seventh Ring Wizard would not dare to stay for long and must leave before their Strength was exhausted.
It was only because Levi's body was strong that he felt nothing.
At the bottom of the lake, there was a Wizard Tool wrapped in Thunder Plasma, a water-blue robe with flashing runes.
"It's actually a Seventh Ring Water-type Wizard Tool, it seems a Seventh Ring Wizard fell here."
Levi confirmed that there were no problems and picked up the Wizard Tool, putting it into his Storage Bag.
Because it had been eroded by Thunder for a long time, there was already a lot of damage on the surface of the robe, but with some mending, it could definitely be used.
A Seventh Ring Wizard Tool is worth at least 500 million, and a high-quality one is around 1 billion, as for a top-quality one, it is immeasurable.
Often, only Eighth Ring Wizards can afford top-quality Seventh Ring Wizard Tools.
Levi continued to go deeper, the power of the Thunder continued to increase, he thought about it and activated his protective force field.
It wasn't that he couldn't withstand it, but he was worried about being ambushed by potential enemies.
Finally, in the center of the Thunder Pool, where the Thunder was comparable to a Seventh Ring Thunder-type spell.
Levi saw a heart floating in the Thunder Plasma.
At this moment, he could not suppress the slight excitement in his heart.
"Thunder God Heart... Full Moon Wonder!"
