At the magma crater.
The Rust Dragon Wizard and the Blue Leopard Wizard spread out their mental power, sensing in all directions, but found nothing.
Relying on their Primal Soul-level perception range, combined with their ability to traverse the void, they carefully scanned the area within a thousand miles, like radars.
Still, they found nothing.
Finally, the two of them appeared near the abyss crater, their faces solemn.
The Rust Dragon Wizard said, "That Sixth Ring who killed Lei Man has escaped to who knows where... This is troublesome."
They thought that once Luo Man escaped using his void traversal ability, it would be almost impossible to catch him again.
They never expected that Luo Man would teleport near Levi's hiding place.
Then, he was stopped by Mana and blasted away by Levi! Now, after multiple long-distance void teleports, Levi was already six thousand miles away.
Not to mention a Sixth Ring Wizard, even a Seventh Ring Wizard would have no way to find the tiny Levi in this vast world without other tracking methods or clues. The Blue Leopard Wizard said, "Thinking back, I vaguely saw a giant tree phantom. Perhaps it was the Ancient Banyan King, who has been missing for a long time, who made a move..."
The Rust Dragon Wizard nodded and said:
"That's right, and there are sword Qi attack marks all over the ground, which are exactly the same as those of the Three-Headed Dragon Spawn. I've long heard that the Ancient Banyan King and the Three-Headed Dragon Spawn colluded with each other and escaped with it. Now it seems that the rumors are true.
However, it seems that the one who dealt the fatal blow to Luo Man was definitely not the Ancient Banyan King, nor the Three-Headed Dragon Spawn, but another extremely powerful Thunder-type method, perhaps some kind of exotic treasure..."
The Blue Leopard Wizard was a little distressed and couldn't help but sigh:
"The biggest winner is actually that Dragon Spawn... Not only did it abduct the Ancient Banyan King and snatch a lot of treasures, but it also took the Nine Cities Alliance's sixty years of accumulated resources into its pocket. It's simply bursting with luck."
The Rust Dragon Wizard said, "After we get out, we can check the projection playback, perhaps we can get a glimpse of its true face... Dragon Spawn generally act recklessly and are extremely rash. The Three-Headed Dragon Spawn's style of doing things is completely unlike what a Dragon Spawn would do. Perhaps it's disguised by other alien races or Wizards."
At some point, Ya Lishan Zhuo and Aisley, who had gained a lot on the other battlefield, also appeared at the edge of the giant crater.
They consciously stood beside Senior Rust, looking at the apocalyptic scene before them.
Ya Lishan Zhuo's face was shocked, and her chest heaved as she said:
"Such terrifying power, I didn't expect there to be a Sixth Ring battle here... Is it Luo Man?"
Rust said lightly, "Luo Man is dead. The Nine Cities Alliance was the most prepared and gained the most from this Ancient Tower operation... But they never expected that Luo Man would fall on this fifth floor."
Aisley exclaimed, "What? Luo Man is dead?! Even if a Primal Soul Wizard self-detonates his Soul Artifact and escapes with serious injuries, it's impossible for him to end up like this, right? Could it be that even his Primal Soul didn't escape?"
Rust said, "Because there was another Sixth Ring hidden here, but we never discovered it."
Ya Lishan Zhuo asked in confusion:
"Could it be a Primal Soul from another school?"
Rust said, "No, it's the Ancient Banyan King."
At this moment, Ya Lishan Zhuo and Aisley suddenly understood.
"So it was the Three-Headed Dragon Spawn and the Ancient Banyan King who were lying in wait..."
With the death of Liu Ka and the fall of Luo Man.
The war between the Amethyst Clan and the Nine Cities Alliance came to an end.
For the Combustion School, the silver lining was that most of the Rogue Wizards of the Combustion School and the Wizards of the Nine Cities Alliance who were abandoned by Luo Man did not suffer as many casualties because the Rust Dragon Wizard and the Blue Leopard Wizard put aside their past grievances and took action.
The people were still there, but the resources were gone... The Ancient Tower trip was a pure waste of sixty years of good time.
Of course, Liu Ka's big explosion at the end could be considered a small benefit for these poor fellows.
And besides the Three-Headed Dragon Spawn, the Rust Dragon Wizard and the Blue Leopard Wizard also became the biggest winners.
They divided most of the resources from Liu Ka, and also took the opportunity to do a "righteous deed" through live broadcast. This was also beneficial to their reputation in the Wizard World.
Inside the Ancient Tower, life and death were a matter of fate.
As competitors of the Nine Cities Alliance, it was already considered "noble" for them to generously take action instead of kicking them when they were down.
And the place where Luo Man fell might become a small "land of opportunity", but it would have to be left for future generations to open.
Wizard World.
Crimson Realm.
Nine Cities, Ten Caves, Twenty-Four Mountains.
Countless Rogue Wizard markets, thousands of Wizards, all stood in silence.
They stood blankly on the streets, or within their respective Wizard Towers, gazing at the ancient tower projection in the Sky.
The world seemed to fall silent.
They had once cheered for Wizard Roman leading the Skyfire Fortress, shaking off countless Black Beasts.
They had also cheered for the peak battle between Roman and Liu Ka.
But they never expected that Roman would abandon nearly a thousand Wizards of the Nine Cities Alliance at a critical moment and flee alone.
They could understand, after all, Roman was a Primal Soul Venerable, his life was more valuable.
Moreover, he had a mission to protect the Seventh Ring treasure and the Nine Cities Alliance's resources for sixty years, which was justifiable.
The problem was, he didn't escape in the end...
When the towering giant tree phantom came into being, everyone's hearts tightened.
Roman was locked in a bitter battle, and that damned Three-Headed Dragon Spawn, not knowing where it came from, obtained a palace-shaped treasure, using the Sixth Ring attack on it to deliver a fatal blow to Roman.
The subsequent explosion engulfed everything, and the Wizards outside did not see the following scene.
If Roman's Primal Soul escaped, there was still hope for a comeback, as the saying goes, "If the Primal Soul does not die, the Wizard is immortal."
But if the Primal Soul was also shattered, and he died, Roman could only have his soul enter the Netherworld and begin a new cycle of reincarnation.
Even if there was an afterlife, it would no longer be Roman, but a new individual.
And high in the Sky, overlooking all living beings, in Noen City, one of the nine giant cities.
Before a conference table, powerful Primal Soul Wizard phantoms projected here, holding a meeting.
They all looked solemn, even angry and sad.
One of the powerful Eighth Ring Wizards said, "The Soul Tablet is shattered, Roman has fallen."
The other Primal Soul Wizards were silent for a moment, then said:
"We lost, completely lost, and actually lost to a Fifth Ring Dragon Spawn, extremely absurd..."
"Why is our school's luck so bad? Clearly, we were the most prepared, and our performance in these sixty years has been far ahead."
"Roman is already dead, and I don't want to be too critical. In short, I am not satisfied with his performance in the ancient tower."
"Rust and Blue Leopard could have taken action earlier to save Roman, but they watched Roman detonate his soul weapon, causing both sides to suffer, before taking action... They appear to be righteous on the surface, but in reality, they are full of calculations, lacking any sense of the big picture of Wizard civilization!"
"This cannot be blamed on them. Some of Roman's previous decisions were too domineering, provoking public anger... Moreover, as competitors, it is admirable that they have done this much."
"It's too late to say anything now, the most important thing is to find a way to recover the losses."
"How to recover? The one who killed Roman was the Ancient Banyan King and the Three-Headed Dragon Spawn... Once the ancient tower closes, they will directly run back to the Dragon Spawn Plane, protected by that Dragon Spawn Venerable. Are we going to let the Wizard Council and Tenth Ring existences start a war for this trivial matter?"
"That's naturally impossible, but the true identity of this Three-Headed Dragon Spawn is questionable, it may not be a Dragon Spawn... Maybe it's another alien race, or even a Wizard in disguise. We are separated by the ancient tower, we can only see a picture, we can't see anything, that's why we were misled by this person, thinking he was a Dragon Spawn."
"But even if he is a Wizard... After returning to the Wizarding World, after a makeover, the world is so big, how can we find him?"
For a time, the Primal Soul Wizards fell silent.
"Losing these resources doesn't matter, even if the war treasure is lost, we can endure it with our strength. The problem is that after this war, the prestige of our Nine Cities Alliance will be gone, and the face of the Grand Speaker Eamon will be lost by us... Alas, we will be waiting for accountability next."
"The Skyfire Fortress is a war treasure created with great effort, its value is by no means comparable to ordinary Seventh Ring treasures. I remember that when it was built, various complex tracking marks were integrated into it. Can we use this to track the Dragon Spawn?"
"It's useless, that Dragon Spawn seems to have obtained a space treasure that forms its own plane. As long as he keeps the treasure in the space treasure, these tracking methods will not work at all. But if he dares to take it out and use it, as long as it is in the Nora Plane, whether it is the Human World or Subspace, we can locate its coordinates. At that time, send a few Primal Souls over to capture him."
"Alas, the losses are heavy, and the spearhead of public opinion will definitely point at us next... Those bottom-level Rogue Wizards will have something to scold again."
"Let them scold, then find the closest crime in the Law, arrest a few typical examples, kill the chicken to warn the monkey, and publicize it, and they will be silent. It doesn't take thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of years, and they will forget everything that happened today."
Sleeping Dragon Realm.
The Dragonkin Wizards saw the Rust senior of the Hermit Order kill General Liu Ka and save nearly a thousand Wizards, which was very exciting.
"Did you see that? This is the big picture! Those guys from the Nine Cities Alliance really need to learn a thing or two!"
"After this battle, the reputation of our Dragonkin Hermit Order will reach new heights."
"That Wizard Roman deserved to die! How could there be such a shameless person? Well done, Dragon Spawn brother!"
"Be careful, you can't just say anything. Just enjoy it in your heart."
"Speaking of which, the Dragon Spawn and the giant tree are quite the odd couple. Could this be a forbidden love? A dragon and a tree... they probably can't produce offspring, right?"
"Probably not. I've never heard of any plants with dragon bloodlines... but you never know. After all, this giant tree has transcended the realm of ordinary plants and is a genuine Sixth Ring powerhouse."
"This time the Ancient Tower opened, all the limelight was stolen by that Dragon Spawn... He's really cemented his reputation as the strongest being below the Primal Soul realm. Killing a Sixth Ring Wizard in front of billions of living beings is a once-in-ten-thousand-years event."
"Strictly speaking, he was just using the power of a rare treasure. It doesn't count as him killing the wizard himself."
"Still impressive! If it were me, I wouldn't have the courage and audacity to attack a Primal Soul Wizard. To dare to face the might of a Primal Soul, even though he's a different race, I'm willing to call him... a true hero!"
Endless Sea.
Starry Sea Area.
Green Forest Island.
This is the base of the Fourth Ring Wizard organization, Green Forest Tower.
Logically speaking, an organization of this level, located in the highly competitive Starry Sea Area, would quickly fail.
But in reality, this small Green Forest Tower has stood here for over a hundred years.
In those hundred years, no one has dared to come here looking for trouble.
After all, everyone knows that the Tower Master of the Green Forest Tower, the Green Forest Witch Lora, has a close relationship with the Primal Soul of the House of Witches, the Witch of Potions Triss.
It is said that Triss and the Green Forest Witch were good friends before Triss rose to prominence.
Although she advanced to the Primal Soul realm later, their friendship never ended.
On this day, Triss came to visit her old friend and was chatting with the Green Forest Witch.
The Green Forest Witch has also advanced to the Fourth Ring. As a Long-Lived Species like the dragons, she has a long lifespan, and with the accumulation of time, the Fourth Ring is indeed not difficult for her.
The Green Forest Witch said, "I heard you sent Ai Niya to the Dark Ancient Tower. How dangerous is that place?"
Triss smiled and said, "How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? He's had a smooth journey with me, so he needs to be tempered. In any case, he's managed to survive, and he can go home in a few years."
The Green Forest Witch sighed, "That's great. Your son's cultivation has already surpassed this old thing."
Triss said, "Just keep your own pace. Humans have short lifespans and can only rely on breakthroughs to extend their lives. You can't compare to us."
Suddenly, Triss looked at the projection above her head, her gaze shifting from calm to shock, her face full of disbelief.
"Roman is dead... He was a Primal Soul from the Nine Cities Alliance."
Although the Green Forest Witch's realm is not high, she also knows what this means.
"Doesn't that mean that the most powerful Nine Cities Alliance... is actually out of the game?"
Triss said, "Yes, it's really unexpected. But Roman deserved this kind of end. I hope our Oceanic School can learn a lesson and have the last laugh."
The Green Forest Witch said, "Judging from the performance of that senior from the Oceanic School, we're fine... Roman's death is inseparable from that Ancient Banyan King. To be able to enter the realm of a Sixth Ring powerhouse in the body of a plant, it's either a natural variant or a seedling of a divine tree. In short, it's extraordinary."
Triss stared at the three-headed, six-armed dragon god in the picture, the arrogant Dragon Spawn holding the Red Lotus of Annihilation.
She murmured to herself, "That monster... is it him?"
Green Forest Island, eastern part.
Mai Lin Small Tower.
Inside the potion-making room.
Witch Mai Lin seemed to be growing younger, no longer always appearing as an old crone.
She was researching potions, preparing for her Third Ring potion master assessment. Her Second Ring apprentice, Witch Li Ya, was assisting her.
With Mai Lin's talent and lifespan, reaching the Third Ring was inseparable from Levi's subsequent help.
Otherwise, she would already be a pile of dirt. Levi always repaid kindness with a spring.
In addition, with Triss's slight assistance, this organization was now full of vigor and thriving.
As for Li Ya, she was a dual-affinity seedling that Levi had taken in from the Yellow Earth Continent one hundred and sixty years ago, the daughter of the deceased landlady.
In the outer ring area, such talent could already be called a little genius. Advancing to the Second Ring was not difficult, and if she worked harder, she should already be at the Third Ring.
For Levi, as time passed, the partners of the former Gray-White Tower, except for the missing Tower Master, were few who still existed in the world... cherish the time.
After finishing the potion making.
Winnie walked in with an excited expression. She was now also at the Second Ring peak, about to reach the Third Ring.
Her talent was only so-so, but after working hard, she was steadily advancing. For her, the Third Ring was the ultimate goal in life, and she didn't expect anything more after that.
"Teacher Mai Lin, this Dark Ancient Tower is really an eye-opener. That three-headed, six-armed monster actually killed a Sixth Ring Wizard... Oh my god, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would hardly believe it."
Mai Lin sighed upon hearing this:
"As expected of a monster, every appearance brings a different kind of shock. Single-handedly, it slaughtered through the first five floors of the ancient tower, from geniuses to Primal Souls, all died at its hands, unimaginable...
But then again, we of this generation are lucky. Although we are not qualified to enter the ancient tower, we can witness the world of those geniuses through projections.
The geniuses of various schools shine together, heroes rise together, like stars in the sky, making us marvel.
And above these geniuses, there are monsters like the sun, suppressing all living beings.
Death Sword, Fire Dragon Master, the future of these people is immeasurable. The Primal Soul, which ordinary Wizards can only dream of, may only be their starting point, not their end..."
Winnie smiled:
"Indeed, after seeing these geniuses, I realized that the gap between people is really big... The small inner and outer rings are two different worlds. If Levi hadn't brought us to this Starry Sea Area, we couldn't have imagined having today's achievements."
Li Ya asked:
"Speaking of which, Senior Levi hasn't come for a long time. I wonder how he is now?"
Triss didn't tell them about Levi entering the ancient tower.
They probably thought that Levi was still traveling far away or in seclusion.
Winnie smiled:
"Levi is different from us. He is destined to be in a different world from us."
Mai Lin nodded and said softly: "Just as the Tower Master said at the beginning, he was not a person who was willing to be ordinary. He had a sharp spirit, but he was very restrained. Remember, we are grateful for Levi's kindness, and we must be grateful."
Li Ya's thoughts returned to the past, the kind and amiable Grandpa Wine Barrel, which had been fixed in her memory, like a sealed old photo, lasting and fresh.
Speaking of Levi, everyone thought of the most important person in the former Gray-White Tower, that ball...
Winnie rested her chin on her hand and looked at the blue Sky.
"I have a feeling that the Tower Master will come back."
Mai Lin murmured: "I choose to believe it too..."
This day.
With the disintegration of the Nine Cities Alliance in the ancient tower and the fall of Wizard Roman.
Countless Wizards felt an unimaginable impact.
No matter what means it used, that Three-Headed Dragon Spawn actually dared to calmly and composedly plot against a Primal Soul Wizard.
This is extremely rare in history.
Throughout history, Primal Soul beings have been high above, viewing those below the Primal Soul as mere ants, or perhaps children.
Now, a child wields a sword, defying and slaying a Primal Soul.
This mettle, even if the Three-Headed Dragon Spawn might be a different race, has earned the approval of many.
In response, the supporters of Victor, the leader of the Flying Sky Secret Sword Style, had to admit: "In this opening of the Ancient Tower, so far, the Three-Headed Dragon Spawn is the strongest being below the Primal Soul, deservedly so! But the strongest human below the Primal Soul is definitely Victor, not the Fire Dragon Master!"
Darkness Zone.
The oppressive and tense atmosphere made the void tremble.
The Amethyst Saint looked at the tragically deceased Liu Ka with a calm expression, a hint of disappointment in his heart.
Although the Wizard civilization ultimately lost a Primal Soul, it wasn't the Amethyst Clan who finished him off personally, which was ultimately imperfect.
Some were worried, others were delighted.
The Dragon Spawn Venerable laughed heartily.
"Heh heh heh, you have guts, you have spirit, This Venerable One Dragon Spawn Venerable declares you the strongest below the Primal Soul!"
The Fire King also nodded frequently, rumbling as he said:
"Indeed, he can. Unflustered in the face of danger, methodical, clean and efficient. I now hope he can live a little longer. I'm a bit curious, given him another ten thousand years, to what extent can he grow?"
The Amethyst Saint said nothing, looking towards the silent ninth floor of the Ancient Tower.
The Amethyst Clan's hope for a comeback lies here.
If they could enter the tenth floor, perhaps they could glimpse the ultimate secret of the Dark Ancient Tower, and even control the tower, which wouldn't be impossible.
The Dark Ancient Tower is a treasure that even legendary existences dream of.
If the Amethyst Saint could possess this treasure, he was confident he could shake the Fire King's position as the number one across all planes!
At that time, he would definitely make this group of invaders from the Wizard Council pay the price!
Inside the Dark Ancient Tower.
Half a month had passed since Wizard Roman's fall.
Levi didn't dare to slack off for a moment. He traversed the Ai Ou Continent and returned to his original starting point... Dragon Palace Island.
This was the most godforsaken place in Ai Ou, a place even Black Beasts were unwilling to come.
After arriving on the island, he found it was still the same as when he left.
He opened up a Cave Residence, set up a Shelter, and arranged a hidden Magic Array.
Then he placed the Holy Grail on the ground and transformed into a stream of light, entering it.
Immortal Realm.
Great Prairie.
The Ancient Banyan King swayed gracefully, Mana was currently absorbing the Divine Power of the nine golden leaves of the divine tree.
Levi quickly bowed and thanked her, "Thank you for your help in this battle, Senior!"
Mana's figure emerged, she rubbed her eyes, as if she had just woken up, and she smiled gently:
"It's nothing, I also wanted to test where my current limit is."
The Holy Grail said: "Levi, you are really brave... I now believe that you are the destined person Sauron spoke of."
Levi smiled wryly: "Not at all... This victory has nothing to do with me, it all depends on Senior Mana's powerful control methods. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the Ancient Shell Palace is, it's useless if it can't hit."
A transcendent giant tree like Mana might not be good at killing, but she was definitely good at defense or control.
On one hand, giant trees generally tend towards the earth element, and can gather the earth element power between heaven and earth.
On the other hand, relying on a huge body and countless branches to trap enemies is simply too convenient.
Levi suspected that, let alone Wizard Roman, even a Sixth Ring veteran Wizard, with Senior Mana's abilities, might be able to trap him for a moment.
Levi knew this well.
He appeared impressive, but his ability to kill Wizard Roman relied on external objects.
The Red Lotus Purgatory and sword energy he unleashed might have injured the heavily wounded Wizard Roman, but they definitely wouldn't have caused any substantial damage.
He had consistently fought beyond his level throughout his journey.
However, upon reaching the Fifth Ring, he realized that even with so many trump cards, he still saw no hope of directly confronting a Sixth Ring being without relying on external objects.
Of course, relying on trump cards like the Pegasus Star Soul and the Scarlet Divine Palace, with careful preparation and planning, he could indeed escape from a Sixth Ring being.
If he hadn't possessed these means, the Rust Dragon Wizard and the others would have definitely discovered him that day.
"One day, when all my Knight breathing techniques reach the Fifth Ring peak, my mental strength reaches the limit of 1620 points, and my nine innate spells are perfected, and my body refinement technique and main combat skills are all mastered, plus a further enhanced Bloodline Avatar... I wonder if I can shake a Sixth Ring being?"
Levi couldn't help but imagine.
"Forget it, quickly advancing to the Sixth Ring is the right path... No matter how many trump cards I have, they are useless in the face of the Primal Soul methods that manipulate the power of the elements."
By the sea.
Levi looked at the Shell Fairy Matriarch, who was flushed with excitement.
"How was it? Exciting to hunt a Sixth Ring being?"
The Shell Fairy Matriarch patted her chest, looking like she was still shaken, and said shyly with a smile, "Master, it was too exciting... too exhilarating."
Levi said, "Take good care of this Ancient Shell Palace; it is the pride of your Shell Fairy Clan."
Now there were only two shots left for the Italian cannon, and Levi had to plan carefully.
The power of this cannon was truly immense, and if used well, it could create a lot of value.
"It can't be used again until the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant molts. Trading an Italian cannon shot for a Sixth Ring alien insect is a guaranteed profit!"
Back at the Small Stone Pond.
The strange insect Lyon looked up, patting its round belly.
It was only at the Fifth Ring level, but it had devoured the powerful soul of a Primal Soul Wizard, and it definitely couldn't digest it completely in a short time.
If it absorbed it all, its strength would definitely improve further, benefiting it immensely.
Seeing Lyon's appearance, Levi smiled and said, "Are you alright, Lyon?"
Lyon burped and hummed:
"I'm fine, Master. This feast was too rich, too delicious..."
Levi said, "Then digest it slowly."
He took off his clothes, entered the spring water of the Small Stone Pond, and soaked comfortably in it.
"The tense string has finally been loosened. For sixty-two years since the Ancient Tower opened, I haven't dared to relax for a moment. Next, I'll just wait for a wave of Heaven Crystal Dragon Ants... As for the Golden Absolute Clan, it's up to fate."
It wasn't that Levi didn't want to work hard, but Ai Ou Continent was so big that finding the Golden Absolute Clan was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, with the gains from the Nine Cities Alliance over the years, he felt that the Golden Absolute Clan was optional.
In the Fountain of Youth, strands of mysterious power flowed into Levi's body, soothing his tired body and mind.
Soaking in the bath, Levi fell into a deep sleep, without any distracting thoughts.
This sleep lasted for half a month, almost longer than all his sleep in the past sixty years combined.
On this day.
Outside Dragon Palace Island.
The Holy Infant's figure descended from the sky, along with Beske.
Beske knelt on the ground and said:
"Master, this is the amethyst I collected and the items that came out of Liu Ka's body."
Levi took the Storage Ring and put it away. He looked at Beske and said calmly, "Your mission is complete, Beske. For the sake of This Venerable One, gloriously embrace death."
He handed a longsword to Beske.
Beske understood, gazing at the longsword, his expression resolute as he said:
"As you command!"
After speaking, he plunged the longsword into his own heart, twisting it to pieces.
Time flowed, and Beske fell into a pool of blood, his eyes gradually dimming.
Levi took Beske's ring and Wizard artifacts, closing his eyes for him.
"Rest in peace."
After saying that, he turned and tossed Beske to A Long.
Then, he pulled out Lyon, who was already stuffed, and had him devour Beske's soul, denying him even the chance of reincarnation.
An important figure like Beske could not be allowed to leave any trace that might allow the enemy to investigate the cause of his death.
One must know that some powerful members of the Death School could question the souls of the dead to obtain information.
He couldn't keep Beske. The Ancient Tower was about to close, and Beske would return to the Nine Cities Alliance.
There, powerful individuals were as numerous as clouds, and even Great Wizards might be present. If they discovered the Scarlet Contract on Beske, it could put Levi at risk.
Therefore, it wasn't that Levi was cold and heartless; he simply wanted to ensure his own safety.
As for You Er, the mole from the Amethyst Clan, he had long since died at the hands of a Wizard.
Levi now had six Scarlet Contract slots, with two positions vacant, waiting to be filled by those with the right fate.
The Holy Infant also handed over the collected spoils to Levi.
Levi said, "Now that the White-Robed Wizard Society has disbanded, we can go home soon. Just stay by my side... otherwise, when the Ancient Tower closes, you might be stuck here forever."
The Holy Infant naturally had no complaints. He returned to the Ancient Banyan space, continuing to sort out the mountains of flesh and blood, starting a new round of work.
Levi began the exciting task of sorting out the spoils.
First were the Holy Infant's spoils. After counting them, Levi beamed with joy.
"Five Fifth Ring Amethysts... with only thirty-odd members of the Amethyst Clan in total, to have snatched one-seventh in such chaotic circumstances is quite good."
With so many Amethysts, plus the ones he had previously stored, he would have enough to refine many top-quality Wizard artifacts in the future.
Unfortunately, the most precious Sixth Ring Amethyst, as well as Wizard Roman's self-detonated Soul Artifact, must have been taken by the Rust Dragon Wizard and the others.
Besides the Amethysts, there were also large piles of rare ores, all emitting a faint purple light on the surface.
The Amethyst Clan inherently possessed a Storage Space within their bodies, so they could devour many ores in one go and then slowly digest them.
These were all undigested ores, mostly low-level, but there were also quite a few Fourth Ring and even Fifth Ring ones.
In addition, there were some Wizard spoils from those killed by the Amethyst Clan, which were also quite valuable, but no need to elaborate further.
Beske's spoils were much the same.
Three Fifth Ring Amethysts, along with a pile of miscellaneous Wizard artifacts, materials, Knowledge, and so on.
In the gaps between some sundries, Levi also saw some blood-colored particles resembling seeds, exuding an eerie aura.
"What are these?"
Levi picked out the seeds, about a dozen of them.
The Black Lotus Beast suddenly asked, "What a wonderful smell! Dragon King, what is this thing?"
The Vampire Dragon also descended from the Sky, looking at Levi with flattery, and said, "I also think it smells very good, I kind of want to eat it..."
Unconsciously.
The surrounding extraordinary creatures were attracted.
Even some Black Beasts that had not completely died in the mountains of flesh and blood crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, heading towards Levi, only to be easily killed by the alchemical creatures.
"I understand, it's actually this thing... Hahahaha, heaven is helping me!"
Levi quickly and carefully collected these seeds, preserving them well.
"Nine-Leaf Blood Mandala seeds, this is Liu Ka's method of attracting Black Beasts. However, compared to the blooming flowers, the attraction of the seeds is much weaker..."
Once he returns to the Wizard World, he will start planting this rare plant in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, striving for mass production.
If he needs Black Beast materials in the future, he can just take a trip to the Darkness Zone and surely attract a bunch of monsters.
Of course, there is some danger in doing so. If he attracts a powerful Black Beast, it would be like playing with fire and getting burned...
Therefore, how to use it correctly in the future still needs to be studied slowly.
In addition to that, Beske's arrow that can traverse the void was also unceremoniously taken by Levi.
This top-quality Wizard artifact is called the Void Flame Arrow, and its functions are twofold: First, void traversal, capable of traversing two hundred miles at a time.
Second, it can release a Fifth Ring perfected-level flame arrow with considerable power.
Levi inspected it and sent it into his mind. Void traversal Wizard artifacts are never too many; this way, he can use them in rotation.
Besides that, a large pile of Wizard artifacts that Levi didn't think much of will be kept for future disposal.
Finally, the four million Great Stones were also accepted by Levi.
He looked at his small treasury.
The total amount of Great Stones has already reached forty million.
Levi sighed:
"That's 0.4 of a small goal... I'll strive to reach one small goal before leaving the Ancient Tower and become a billionaire!"
And the hope of becoming a billionaire lies with Wizard Roman.
At first glance, this person's spoils of war don't seem like much.
After killing him that day, Levi only obtained a gorgeous and simple crimson flame ring and a fortress model the size of a palm.
Both of these things were hidden within Wizard Roman's Primal Soul and are now with Mana, who is responsible for safekeeping.
Levi was worried that Wizard Roman had left some restrictions, traps, or backup plans... With his Fifth Ring cultivation, if there really were any, it would be enough to give him a hard time.
Under the banyan tree.
Mana handed the fortress model to Levi and said solemnly:
"I've been examining it these days, and I can only confirm that this thing has no Sixth Ring power residue. However, I don't know how to use it. After all, it was made by a Wizard, and I'm just an ignorant tree..."
Levi took the fortress model and said, "Thank you, Senior. I just need to confirm that it's safe."
He held the fortress and carefully observed it.
The fortress is small but complete, with all kinds of buildings on it. There are also many Wizard knowledge such as Magic Arrays and runes that Levi can't understand.
He couldn't stop smiling.
"The Seventh Ring treasure, Skyfire Fortress... Even in top Wizard organizations, this thing is definitely a treasure, after all, it is a civilization war treasure like the Ancient Shell Palace. Whether it's the materials, the workmanship, the functions, or any other aspect, it completely surpasses the Ancient Shell Palace."
How can the wisdom of the Shell Fairy Clan compare to that of Wizards?
Rumor has it that the main body of this Skyfire Fortress was built by a Seventh Ring Plane Master giant tortoise.
If it weren't for this treasure, the Nine Cities Alliance would not have been able to withstand the attacks of the Amethyst Clan and the Black Beast tide for several months.
Levi studied it for a while and found that this treasure was different from the ones he had obtained before.
The artificers of the Nine Cities Alliance added all kinds of complex programs and restrictions to it.
With his current level of knowledge, it is completely impossible to decipher or use it. Perhaps he will have a chance after reaching the Sixth Ring in artificing and Magic Arrays.
Moreover, Levi can guarantee that the Nine Cities Alliance must have set up some kind of tracking method on the Skyfire Fortress.
It should be fine in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, but if he dares to take it out and use it when he returns to the Wizard World, he will most likely be tracked down. At that time, his identity as a Dragon Spawn will be completely exposed.
He has offended so many people in the Ancient Tower; the consequences are imaginable.
Therefore, without absolute strength, this Skyfire Fortress can only be sealed away or used when exploring other multi-dimensional planes.
Several days later.
Mana handed the crimson flame ring to Levi, her face helpless, and said, "You Wizards are really troublesome. There should also be Magic Array restrictions on this ring. I don't dare to forcefully break it open for you. If I trigger some mechanism and damage the ring, I can't afford to compensate you... With your intelligence, you should be able to unlock it yourself after studying it for a while."
Levi accepted the ring with a wry smile.
He had already anticipated this. After all, this was a Primal Soul's Storage Ring; how could it be opened so easily?
"Thank you, Senior. I'll study it myself from here on out."
His current knowledge of Magic Arrays should be among the strongest below the Primal Soul level.
Moreover, he was proficient in Potion Making. In addition to his cultivation, he should have a chance to open it slowly.
If all else failed, he could open it after reaching the Primal Soul level. In any case, the ring was here and couldn't run away.
The main reason he was anxious was for the eight gold leaves in the ring, as well as any Truth Wonders that might be present.
He needed these things to increase his mental Strength limit.
"Forget it, no use being anxious. I'll lie low for a while and wait for the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant to molt..."
Dragon Palace Island was peaceful and serene.
Levi cultivated silently.
Three months later, the 15th Limit Soul was condensed.
Levi's mental Strength had reached 925 points.
On the other side.
The information he had the Mind Flayer gather about the Shadow Demons had also yielded results.
First, within the Demon God Temple, there happened to be a Fifth Ring Shadow Devil named Tez, with the title "Shadow Ancient Devil." He was currently leading an army to attack Maka City in central Ai Ou, along with several other Ancient Devils.
Second, hundreds of years ago, there was a Shadow Demon King in the Million Great Mountains. His true form was a Sixth Ring Shadow Devil, with immense Strength. Later, he was ambushed and killed by two Law Kings of the empire working together.
These two were the Blood Feast Law King and the Thunderbolt King... so the crystal core was either in the Law God Tower or on one of these two.
The Mind Flayer's information made Levi thoughtful.
In the end, he decided to kill the Shadow Ancient Devil first and take the crystal core for later use.
As for the Shadow Demon King's crystal core, there was too much uncertainty.
For one, its whereabouts were unknown.
Secondly, both the Blood Feast Law King and the Thunderbolt King were genuine Sixth Ring experts.
Without a special situation like Luo Man, which was hard to come by, no matter how he planned, he would not be able to kill a Sixth Ring expert.
The Shadow Ancient Devil's Strength was not even at the peak of the Fifth Ring, so killing him would not be difficult at all.
"However, my identity as the Three-Headed Dragon Spawn has made me too many enemies recently. This Venerable One will not show his face. Let the Holy Infant take the stage next."
He summoned the Holy Infant, explained some precautions, and sent him off.
He himself took out Luo Man's Storage Ring and began to study it.
This ring was like a scarlet flame, emitting scorching heat, and a giant flame serpent was carved on it.
Whether it was a Storage Ring, a Space Pocket, or other space items, the core was not in the Wizard's Potion Making level, but in whether the material itself contained [Dimensional Space].
For example, the [Gluttony Pouch] that Levi obtained before embarking on the path of the Wizard.
The reason it could be used as a space item was because the stomach of the "Baal Serpent" itself came with space.
Therefore, making a Space Ring did not require very high Potion Making skills, but only required the Wizard to utilize and transform it.
No need to "know why," just "know that."
Therefore, what determined the volume of the Space Ring was mainly the material itself.
The larger the space, the better the material, and the more suitable it was to solidify some more powerful defenses and attack spells on it, and the better the quality of the Space Ring.
From Levi's perspective as a Potion Making master, Luo Man's ring should be at the level of a Fifth Ring high-grade item, and had not reached the Sixth Ring.
Even a Primal Soul Wizard would generally not be extravagant enough to use a Sixth Ring Wizard item as a space item. This kind of thing was fine as long as it could be used, and did not need to be too high-end.
For example, Levi, who was now at the Fifth Ring, was still using the [Serpent Eye Magic Ring] and [Trembling Magic Ring] that he had obtained in his early years.
With Levi's current 60% luck amplification, the [Paralysis Technique] and [Serpent Eye Technique] solidified on these two rings were difficult to trigger.
"I don't believe all the Luo Man people are dead; I can't break open a Storage Ring."
Levi, fueled by determination, began to study the restrictions and magic arrays on it.
At the same time, he started to mobilize his previously accumulated knowledge base, perusing things like "Space Device Crafting" and "Storage Restriction Methods."
Although Levi was a master craftsman, every profession has its specialization. Before this, he really hadn't thought about studying the field of Storage Rings.
After all, in any Xianxia or Xuanhuan novel, this seemed to be common knowledge, something taken for granted. There weren't so many principles to consider; you just took it and used it directly.
Time flew by.
A month passed.
As time fermented, and with the help of those with ulterior motives.
The White-Robed Wizard Society disbanding, Luo Man falling, the Nine Cities Alliance disintegrating, and the Amethyst Clan being eliminated—this series of events began to spread among the Wizard community of Ai Ou.
Everyone was shocked. In just a few months, on the eve of the Ancient Tower's closure, such earth-shattering events had actually occurred.
The Nine Cities Alliance, which had always stood proudly above the rest, was actually finished...
If the Rust Dragon Wizard and Blue Leopard Wizard hadn't "happened" to pass by and jointly kill that Sixth Ring Amethyst Clan, the Nine Cities Alliance's one thousand Wizards would have lost at least half of their number.
This was also a relatively painful price for the Wizard civilization. After all, these one thousand Wizards were all elites. In the future, these people might have given birth to several Primal Soul Wizards.
The Oceanic, Earth, Thunder, Storm, and other major schools all condemned Wizard Roman's act of abandoning his armor and fleeing.
Some people even took the opportunity to launch a map-wide attack on the Combustion School.
In response, the remnants of the Nine Cities Alliance didn't know what to say.
They were already disheartened.
They hadn't gained many resources, and they had even put a lot of their savings into the war.
Moreover, looking back on the sixty years of turmoil in the Ancient Tower, they had indeed been a bit arrogant...
These people could only hide in the corners of Ai Ou in a daze, waiting for the Ancient Tower to send them back.
At the same time.
There were also some rumors that Luo Man's fall was caused by the legendary Three-Headed Dragon Spawn, in conjunction with the Ancient Banyan King.
It was said that someone had seen from afar the towering giant tree phantom standing on the earth, as well as the blooming giant ball of Thunder.
For a time.
The Three-Headed Dragon Spawn, this influential figure in the Ancient Tower, was once again pushed to the forefront.
Some praised him for his unparalleled bravery, daring to ambush a Primal Soul, and called him the most ruthless person in this Ancient Tower.
But there were also some people who questioned the Dragon Spawn's shameless behavior of breaking the rules! "Selling his body to seduce the Ancient Banyan King, a dog and woman colluding with each other!"
"A little black face who can only live off women!"
Various voices were rampant.
Hearing such rumors, Ai Niya and Sera, who were hiding in the Deep Blue Organization to cultivate, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Sera said speechlessly, "One is a dragon, and one is a tree, how can they collude together?"
Ai Niya's eyes were complicated, and he sighed, "When I was still complacent about advancing to the Fifth Ring, someone had already begun to kill a Sixth Ring with a Fifth Ring body... Even if it's relying on external objects to live off women, that's also their ability."
Sera patted Ai Niya on the shoulder and said:
"Don't be discouraged. It's meaningless to compare yourself to a freak like the Dragon Spawn... There is never a shortage of geniuses in this world. There are mountains beyond mountains, and stronger hands among the strong. Just do your best. You are already very good. Ms. Triss will be proud of you."
Ai Niya nodded.
"I'm not discouraged, I just feel that although we are also in the Ancient Tower, we and these geniuses are not in the same world. They are in the clouds, and we are on the ground."
Sera joked, "You're thinking too much. We're not on the ground... we're in the dirt."
"Hahahaha."
The two laughed heartily, and a pleasant atmosphere filled the air.
With the lesson of the Nine Cities Alliance in front of them, the Blue Leopard Wizard had already ordered that in the next few years, the Deep Blue Organization would no longer carry out external missions. Everyone would stay in the base and cultivate honestly.
Other top Wizard organizations are the same.
After the earth-shattering battle, the Three-Headed Dragon Spawn's reputation had firmly taken the lead, becoming a unique existence within the Ancient Tower.
"Victor" and "Thunder of the Human World" and others paled in comparison.
At some point, Wizards began to voice their opinions, hoping that those prestigious Wizard powerhouses could represent Wizard civilization and fight the "Three-Headed Dragon Spawn" to win glory for Wizard civilization! This voice grew louder and louder.
Until one day, Victor openly announced: "I am not the Three-Headed Dragon Spawn's opponent. Whoever can do it, go ahead. Don't try to kidnap me with the righteousness of civilization!"
As soon as this statement came out, the public was in an uproar.
Victor, as the founder of the Flying Sky Secret Sword Style, was unparalleled among Wizards.
He chickened out without even trying. Could it be that on this Ai Ou Continent, the Dragon Spawn was truly invincible?
Thunder God Hall.
The Thunder School's base on the Ai Ou Continent.
This day.
In Thunder God Wizard City, a figure bathed in Thunder descended from the Sky.
His aura was so strong that even ordinary Fifth Ring completion Wizards paled in comparison.
"It's him, Thunder of the Human World, Tolkki!"
"It is said that he is the Thunder School's league genius, a Fifth Ring completion version of Simon, with nine talents completed, a mental strength limit of 1111 points, a Primal Soul descendant... countless halos."
"What does he want to do?"
The Wizards in Wizard City couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Tolkki's eyes were like a tiger's, and he was imposing without being angry. He said loudly:
"The Three-Headed Dragon Spawn has repeatedly provoked Wizard civilization, and its arrogance is extreme. However, this generation of Wizard geniuses, such as Victor and Gandalf, dare not fight, which is a real disgrace to the Wizard's face.
Since Victor said, 'Whoever can do it, go ahead,' then I, Thunder of the Human World, will try. I ask the Wizards of Wizard City to use your social connections to spread the word for me: Ask the Three-Headed Dragon Spawn if it dares to fight me fairly without using Sixth Ring external objects such as the Ancient Banyan King.
If it can defeat me, my head and the Dragon Egg that it will definitely be interested in from the Convergence Land will be its.
If it loses, then I will take its Dragon head without any politeness, to vent this anger for our Wizard civilization!"
Tolkki waved his sleeve.
A giant egg with a diameter of about three meters appeared.
The surface of the giant egg was densely covered with scorched Black Scales that emitted a metallic luster, exuding a pure Dragon might.
The surrounding small-scale fire elemental power began to roll and surge, vaguely forming a vision of doomsday scorched earth.
Tolkki's lips curled up, and he sneered: "This is... a pure-blooded Dragon egg!"
