Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2732: 561: Nightmare Emperor Dragon! Pandora’s Root Returns! The Eighteenth Seat!

"Sigh, that fellow seems to have grown more powerful once again. He is truly a freak!"
Following this, Levi shifted his focus to a different screen.
Within the confines of a barracks, a level 9 demon was boasting loudly to its peers.
"What Dusk Palace Master? He better pray he never crosses my path! When the next total war erupts, I'll be the first one to trample the Ancient Dragon Continent into the dust! Ke ke ke!"
Levi’s attention drifted across these various displays.
The vast majority of what he saw consisted of trivial ill-will and petty grudges.
Existing in this world, particularly as a figure who commands as much attention as he does, makes it unavoidable to become a target of resentment and hatred.
Every shred of negative emotion aimed at Levi was now something he could perceive.
However, he remained entirely indifferent.
As long as it did not manifest as genuine killing intent, it was of no consequence.
Furthermore, considering his current level of strength, why would he ever fret over the bitterness of a First-Circle Wizard?
He wasn't the type to embark on a bloody slaughter just because of a few bad vibes.
His broad-minded nature prevented him from reacting so impulsively.
Nevertheless, certain flickers of hostility on the screens were too significant to disregard.
For instance, in a scene depicting the astral world, an entity known as a torture angel—looking like an alien with twelve fleshy wings—was conferring with its underlings.
"Master, we have confirmed that the bald outsider from that day was the servant of the Dusk Palace Master. It appears he was acting under orders to plunder our Death Soul Tree!"
Upon hearing this report, the torture angel’s eyes expanded like bronze bells, brimming with murderous intent.
"It is him yet again! To provoke me repeatedly... does he truly believe the Emperor of Torture is someone to be trifled with? I have already shown restraint twice! If our paths cross, I will surely use my Nether River Life-taking Sword to end him!"
The subordinate was quick to offer sycophantic praise:
"Precisely... That Forbidden Divine Weapon was forged from the rarest Nether River Molybdenum Iron. No matter how formidable the Dusk Palace Master claims to be, there is nothing to fear. With a single strike, a member of such a short-lived species won't live to see another sunrise. You are truly wise, my Lord!"
Visibly pleased, the torture angel could not help but break into a wide grin.
"Life in the astral world is truly grand, ho ho ho ha ha ha!"
While the master and servant were busy scheming against Levi, they were completely unaware that he was observing them in real-time.
It was essentially a live broadcast.
Such was the formidable power of the Deep Red Eyes.
Watching the arrogant expression of the torture angel, Levi chuckled and remarked, "One day, I shall pull you out of the astral world and let my second brother strike you down... 'Grand' indeed!"
In truth, Levi didn't view the Emperor of Torture as a serious threat.
Even the Radiant Prison Dragon King, a level 10 powerhouse, didn't particularly frighten him.
Had he not been wary of the Lord of Chaos at the time, he would have long ago liberated the Belief Land of the Dragon Clan.
Naturally, Levi could not perceive every source of malice.
In the center of his vision sat a cluster of small screens where the images were hazy and distorted.
The hostility emanating from these was sometimes intense, sometimes faint.
Levi surmised these belonged to the Ancients or perhaps level 10 elites among the Blood Battle demons.
Because their Cultivation rank was so high, the feed remained obscured.
Even so, the clues were sufficient for Levi to identify them.
The figure casting a purple hue across the screen was undoubtedly that old scoundrel, the Amethyst Saint!
On a separate golden screen, the silhouette of a colossal bird was faintly visible.
Levi couldn't quite place this one yet.
Aside from the Red Crow, he couldn't recall offending any other Mythical level avian entities.
The issue was that the Red Crow occupied a different screen entirely.
Thus, Levi could only conclude this was a newly arrived Ancient from the Council of Ten Thousand Clans.
Levi didn't lose sleep over it.
He finished scanning the hostile images through his Deep Red Eyes.
With a mere thought, the crimson slit on his forehead snapped shut.
"A fascinating talent."
His second primary ability was [Nightmare Overlord], an evolution of the previous [Nightmare Lord]. Back at level 8, Levi could pull 300,000 souls into the Nightmare World. Following his breakthrough, that number had surged to 2 million. Beyond the Ancient Dragon Continent, he could now strike deals with other Sects and wizard organizations to bring in more of the Fourth Calamity to 'toil' for profit.
The third talent was [Nightmare True Body]. Levi could now maintain a permanent avatar within the Nightmare World, regardless of his location or actions in the physical realm. This duplicate could stand guard over the Nightmare World indefinitely without rest.
The combat power of this Nightmare True Body was roughly half that of Levi’s primary form.
The fourth ability, [Nightmare Realm Descent], allowed him to manifest the Nightmare World's influence into reality, creating a localized zone to imprison foes. Unless they possessed extraordinary capabilities, those trapped inside would face a lingering demise.
He possessed numerous other skills as well.
From weaving illusions and crafting nightmares to altering memories... Levi had mastered a comprehensive suite of dark techniques. He was now truly the Nightmare Emperor Dragon!
"Ah, I haven't even seen what this dragon form looks like."
With that realization, Levi initiated a transformation.
Boom! A massive creature radiated a kaleidoscopic, ethereal glow as it manifested.
Its wings appeared shattered and semi-transparent, and it bore a draconic head featuring a vertical crimson eye on the brow. Additionally, it possessed a pair of insectoid wings that shimmered with the brilliance of the sun.
Its tail was elongated, ending in a lethal, sword-like point designed for injecting venom. Compared to his previous five dragon forms, the Nightmare Emperor Dragon was the most bizarre, blending draconic majesty with an unsettling insectoid vibe, yet it remained aesthetically striking.
This realization allowed Levi to let out a breath of relief.
Once he had mastered these new powers, Levi departed from No Hidden Heaven.
With the Six Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique fully operational once more, he had returned to his status as a six-dimensional combatant at the ninth-level realm.
