Chapter 2042: 0445 Morning Star Artifact Great Harvest! (Large chapter asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)_6

“The Finger of the Cold King, the Eye of the Cold King, the Arm of the Flame King, the Heart of the Flame King… It feels like putting together a puzzle.”

“The Heart of the Flame King is supposed to be a more crucial oddity of the Flame King series than the Arm, and after refining it, my Ice and Fire Holy Body has improved significantly.”

“The Heart and Arm of the Flame King are both Morning Star Artifacts, and so is the Eye of the Cold King. By comparison, the Finger of the Cold King is only a Sky-Grade Oddity. These two sequences of oddities are quite interesting.”

The Holy Infant thought he seemed to have grasped some patterns of the [Flame King] and [Cold King] series oddities.

This time, with the refinement, his spiritual force increased by 60 points directly.

He has been at Sixth Circle Perfection for over a hundred years, and now his spiritual force is at 4600 points, possibly reaching the maximum within a century.

Additionally, the Heart of the Flame King granted him a special talent called [Blazing Heartbeat], which is quite powerful. The only downside is that it didn’t come with a special spiritual creature.

However, with the [Mobile Furnace of the Flame King] and the [Snow King], the Holy Infant felt satisfied.

Over the years of cultivation, the Holy Infant has accumulated 11 witch marks, just 4 short to complete the target for his original self.

If everything goes as planned, in the next hundred years, he might become a Seven-Circle Wizard, perhaps even step into it before Gandaph, second only to Lord Victor.

…

The God-forsaken Continent.

Amidst the Wind Disaster Stratum, a black-armored swordsman, riding a White Tiger, descended slowly.

As of today, Levi has been dormant in the Blood Battle Era for 90 years, relatively unknown.

Currently, he is a Seven-Circle Wizard, mastering 27 sixth-circle primordial soul spells to perfection, 4 seven-circle primordial soul spells, and 9 innate spells to perfection.

In the path of knights, he reached Level 7 with the Brilliant Golden Dragon, Crimson Emperor Dragon, and Sky King Dragon. The Scarlet Dragon also reached the maximum, but lacks advancement ingredients. As for the Nightmare Dragon and Death Ember Dragon, only minor refinements remain.

In terms of combat techniques, his compilation Book of Extreme Dao Strategy has already taken embryonic form by drawing from the strengths of various schools.

There was nothing he needed to breakthrough in the short term, so he thought it was time to practice spells and combat techniques through real battles, and incidentally advance the [Primordial Spirit] skill. One can’t just keep tinkering behind closed doors.

Now, with 15 years left until the Netherworld Market and the Dark Ancient Tower open, if there’s no major trouble on the Ancient Dragon Continent, Levi wouldn’t return and would focus on hunting demons to climb the rankings.

He’s not aiming for the top rank, just wanting to obtain the [Hand of the Winter Emperor] sooner.

The Mountain Giant Wizard Group’s station.

Soraya just came back from the front lines, and during her rest, she opened her communication device.

“Hmph, the old man hasn’t sent any messages even now… Forget it, he’s probably closing himself off, not wanting to lag behind the Gondor Three Heroes.”

The Gondor Three Heroes have forged a strong bond in battle over the years, akin to siblings, though there are whispered rumors of competition among them. After all, wizards are inherently egoistic.

Levi paid no heed to such rumors.

In fact, it’s better this way, creating distinct personas for his three avatars, who would suspect that the illustrious Three Heroes are merely his avatars?

Suddenly.

Soraya’s expression slightly changed.

Not far behind her, from the void, emerged a dignified figure with a smile. It was Levi.

This made her marvel at Levi’s terrifying ability to conceal his aura. It should be noted, she is a senior Seven-Circle Wizard, a small realm higher than him.

Soraya smiled:

“Congratulations, Dusk Hall Master, on breaking through to the seven-circle. May I know why you sought me out?”

Levi candidly said:

“Madam, I’d like to collaborate with you. Through official intelligence, provide me with accurate demon sighting reports, and I’ll help solve those issues, earning some war merit.”

Upon hearing this, Soraya pondered briefly and hesitated:

“Providing leads is no issue, but, Sir Levi, are you sure about hunting demons alone? The God-forsaken Continent today is truly a Dragon Pond and Tiger Cave. Without the support of a battle group or a team, it is easy to encounter unexpected problems.”

Soraya knew Levi was strong, but even a peerless genius like the [Destruction Realm Thunder] relied on his [Thunder Light Wizard Group], leveraging seamless teamwork among different sects and roles, to hunt demons so smoothly.

Levi said:

“I’m used to being alone, Madam, don’t worry.”

Soraya sighed:

“Very well then, if there are tasks I can’t manage, I’ll assign them to you. You can also take on bounty tasks at the [Blood Battle Temple] for extra rewards.”

Levi smiled:

“Thank you!”

Watching Levi’s departing figure, Soraya couldn’t help but feel nostalgic, maybe she’s getting old.

A month later.

At a certain battlefield.

A Level 7 Flame Demon Lord wielding a giant flaming axe laughed wildly.

“It’s useless, in the face of the great Ili, all is ash! Run, you insects!”

Ahead, the remaining members of Harris’s squad were putting up a desperate resistance.

Leading them was a wizard couple at Sixth Circle Perfection, their hair white, aged, exuding an aura of the twilight of life, seemingly not far from their end.

In front of a Level 7 Flame Demon, the squad was on the verge of collapse.

An elder said:

“Madam, I’ll hold off the Flame Demon, you take the squad and run.”

The old woman replied:

“Old man, why should I flee, we don’t have long to live anyway.”

The elder laughed loudly.

“Makes sense, in that case, before we die, take one down with us.”

Their momentum suddenly surged.

The next moment, they were stunned, halting in their tracks.

Ahead, the Ili Flame Demon silently split in half, lava, intestines, organs spilling everywhere. The thousand-meter giant body crashed down with a thunderous noise, kicking up dust that rose to the sky.

A black-armored swordsman stood on Cloud Summit, one hand behind his back, the other gripping his sword. His calm gaze, like serene stars, looked at the Harris squad.

Levi sighed inwardly.

These two elders, Levi had seen them long, long ago.

They were once the City Lords of Riptide City: The Current Controller, Krysten, and The Air Current Conductor, Eyre.

He still remembered, when Levi was just a First-Circle Wizard, they were already untouchable soul masters in his eyes.

Time flew by, six or seven hundred years have passed, and Levi is now at seven circles.

He didn’t expect them to still be struggling at six circles, seemingly unable to reach seven…

At this moment, Levi became deeply conscious of how awesome the proficiency panel was.

Not a drop of his sweat was wasted!

His youth, completely without regret… except for that man during his mortal rookie years.

Levi calmly said:

“You may retreat now, this place is mine.”

The two elders snapped back to reality.

“Thank you, senior. Harris Squad, full retreat!”

As former high-ranking primordial souls, they naturally didn’t recognize Levi.

And wouldn’t think that this powerful senior was just a nameless rookie centuries ago.

Levi looked at the remaining demons, their faces cruel, fearlessly charging at him.

Levi forced himself to suppress the impulse to use big killer moves like the [Black Annihilation Divine Thunder] and the [Red Emperor Domain], calling out the Three Thousand Shadow Dragon Army.

He also deployed the [Holy Flame Giant] and [Shining Eye] Holy Light spells… then silently slaughtered with his Sword Qi.

Little Leon at his side used a spider web to continuously gather, profusely sweating with a satisfied look, wiping his brow, he declared:

“Master was right; even mosquito meat, small as it is, must not be wasted.”
