Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2731: 561: Nightmare Emperor Dragon! Pandora’s Root Returns! The Eighteenth Seat!

With his head held high, Levi moved with the imposing gait of a dragon and the fierce vitality of a tiger.

Vague, grotesque silhouettes of the Blood Tribulation Masters surrounded him on all sides.

It was a gallery of horrors: Dragons, Great Nightmares, colossal scorpions, massive spiders, and even flies of titanic proportions.

Charging forward like a Raging Bull, he smashed through every obstruction, ripping the shadows apart.

Gasping for air from the exertion, he finally stood before the prismatic throne.

He dropped heavily onto the seat.

"This throne belongs to me now; the entirety of the Six Holy Heavens is under my command!"

A sudden, boisterous laugh escaped Levi’s lips.

After deep and careful deliberation, he settled on a name for his newest breathing technique: [Nightmare Emperor Dragon].

Crimson Emperor, White Emperor, Black Emperor, Golden Emperor, Green Emperor, and now the Nightmare Emperor... the Six Saints were finally united!

Six lineages of the most exalted bloodlines now coursed through his veins.

Every single one possessed the potential to be cultivated to the level 11 realm!

The day would come when he transformed into a hexagonal level 11 powerhouse!

In all the world, who could possibly stand as his equal?

And that was not all.

He still walked the path of a wizard, aiming for the full cultivation of his Sect.

That journey, too, led toward level 11 at the very least!

Strength, defense, speed, endurance, physique, perception, and spirit!

Seven dimensions, seven distinct paths all reaching for level 11.

If he could achieve them all and fuse them into a single entity, he would become invincible across this multidimensional plane!

He might even transcend to a higher state of existence.

A realm beyond the reach of even the masters of the Giant World.

That realm was... level 12!

As his Cultivation grew and his hidden wisdom expanded—especially after witnessing the secrets left behind by Sauron—Levi understood the truth.

Merely reaching level 11 was insufficient to challenge destiny or secure a permanent legacy within the multiverse.

Among those Levi was aware of, figures like the Origin Divine Tree, the Ancient Twin Dragons, the Ancestor of Giants, the Ultimate Creation, and Sauron had all attained level 11.

Furthermore, the ancient Shadow World once held the potential to evolve into a Giant World, meaning it likely produced level 11 beings of its own.

Yet all of them, Sauron included, had failed.

None could topple the dominance of the Four Great Giants.

Levi knew little of the Origin Divine Tree's history; it was buried too deep in the past.

No records remained to be studied.

He didn't even know what power had brought about its end.

Its time preceded the ancient era; it belonged to the chaotic age of antiquity.

Currently, only a few "descendants" of the divine trees remained active throughout the multidimensional plane.

There was Pandora’s Root, the Golden Ancient Tree, and the young Ancient Banyan King Manna.

There had also been a Divine Mulberry Tree, which had long since vanished into the depths of time.

The Origin Divine Tree was undeniably immense in power.

After all, a mere descendant like the Golden Will could sustain seven level 10 Sacred Kings. Yet, it had still fallen.

Following antiquity, other level 11 titans emerged, only to meet the same failure.

Sauron was likely the most recent attempt.

He had studied the disasters of his predecessors, choosing not to challenge the Giants in a direct confrontation.

He was far more calculating, knowing exactly when to strike and when to retreat.

Because of this, the spark of the wizard civilization was preserved.

Sauron sought allies, gathering the remnants of fallen level 11 entities and weaving a plan across eternity. His goal was to one day force a fair match against the Giant Worlds. If a single level 11 was not enough, he would bring two, or three...

Levi felt a great sense of relief that he had chosen the polyhedral path of development.

Had he not, he might have reached level 11 only to be crushed by the Giants with a casual flick of a wrist.

That would be true hopelessness, a blow that would shatter any warrior's Dao heart.

He could not be certain of the true strength of the supreme beings in the Giant Worlds.

However, he was confident that by advancing one step at a time and mastering all his current paths, he would avoid the tragic fate of the Ancestors of Giants.

Within the No Hidden Heaven, Levi took a moment to recover.

When he finally opened his eyes, he summoned his proficiency panel.

Nightmare Emperor Breathing Technique: Twenty-first Rank (1/50 million), Special Effect: Nightmare Emperor Dragon Body—Supreme (level 9 early stage), Exclusive Weapon: The Nightmare Helmet (level 9);Bloodline Divine Patterns: 44/81;Heavenly Sovereign Authority: Unhidden Sacred Realm (First Layer).

...

The Nightmare Emperor.

This technique merged the bloodlines of nine Legendary beasts: the Dream Dragon, Great Nightmare, Black Illusion Dragon, Evil Eye Dragon, Ghost Dragon, Divine Head Ghost Spider, Dream Worm, Nine-tailed Giant Scorpion, and the Corpse Sea Green Fly.

These were all indigenous Nightmare Overlords from the Nightmare World, beings that were essentially the physical manifestations of terror and negative psychic energy.

Consequently, this was a pure, supreme-level Nightmare Creature bloodline.

The powers it granted covered the realms of dreams, illusions, toxins, pestilence, and more.

This particular bloodline fusion was incredibly diverse, blending both draconic and insectoid traits.

Given a choice, Levi might have preferred a more uniform lineage.

However, as he finalized the Nightmare Emperor bloodline, he found its potential irresistible.

The foremost benefit was the further evolution of his Danger Perception.

This was largely thanks to the [Corpse Sea Green Fly], an unassuming but deadly insect. Even with a Legendary Wizard’s help, Levi had struggled significantly to trap it.

The other Nightmare Overlords contributed their own unique sensory talents as well.

In the end, Levi gained a new ability he dubbed [Deep Red Eyes].

A crimson slit tore open at the center of his forehead.

From within, an unsettling eye emerged.

It bore the multifaceted look of a fly's compound eye, yet retained the vertical, slitted pupil of a dragon.

Through the vision of the Deep Red Eyes, Levi saw a vast array of phantoms, resembling a wall of electronic monitors.

Thousands of different scenes played out simultaneously across these screens.

A torrent of billions of data points surged through his consciousness.

He keyed his focus onto a single screen.

It displayed the estate of the Golden Walker back on the Sorren Continent.

The elderly man was there, tending to the roots of the Heart-Cleansing Tea Tree while muttering to himself:
