Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2738: 562: Blood Sacrifice to Shake the Ten Levels! Death Knight and the Supreme Treasure [Overlord]!

A crimson fissure split open on Levi’s forehead as he sat upon his throne, revealing a vertical dragon pupil that resembled a compound eye. His heavy gaze radiated outward, piercing through every dimension and perceiving all things, leaving no corner for secrets to hide!

Such was the dread-inducing power of the Deep Red Eyes!

In a mere instant, Levi pinpointed the wind demon’s aura, which had long since retreated into the void. A cold, villainous smirk played across his lips as they curled upward.

"Nightmare Realm Descent!"

With a single thought, a world of black and red traversed the vast reaches of space-time to manifest. It compressed into the void dimension, ensnaring the wind demon despite it already being hundreds of thousands of miles away!

"No, this is impossible!"

The wind demon found itself imprisoned within the Nightmare World. Everywhere it turned, the horizon was stained red and black, with countless nightmare entities lurking in the gloom, watching its every move. Intense terror took root and blossomed in its heart.

Suddenly, from the vault of the sky, a colossal beast descended. It possessed broken wings, a dragon’s head, and a scorpion’s tail, its body draped in iridescent, dreamlike scales. The vertical pupil on its forehead snapped open.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

The titan spoke in the human tongue, its form shifting into a black-armored swordsman. This was Levi’s dedicated duplication assigned to guard the Nightmare World! Even with only half of Levi's original strength, it was more than capable of handling a wounded, panicked wind demon.

Ang! The massive beast pounced on the wind demon, its deep red eyes firing a devastating beam of light into the demon's form. Dragon claws, sharp as blades, tore through flesh, while the venomous scorpion tail delivered a lethal toxin. Before long, the wind demon teetered on the brink of death.

"Out you go!"

With a command from the nightmare beast duplication, the wind demon vanished.

When it materialized again, it was back inside Vajra Heaven. The man remained seated on his throne, never having moved. His smile was so sinister and triumphant that it chilled the demon to the bone; it was as if he were the true devil!

"Don’t get too ahead of yourself. There are hundreds of level 10 powerhouses in the Abyss. Someone will eventually strike you down. Even if you manage to fight your way to the 666th layer like Sauron, it will be pointless. You will discover the Abyss is far more... unfathomable than you can possibly conceive!"

Though defeated, the wind demon continued its arrogant boasting.

Boom! One after another, phantoms of Legendary and Mythical giant beasts materialized from the heavens, their roars shaking the world as they crushed everything. The wind demon was torn apart as if being drawn and quartered, meeting a slow, agonizing end. Finally, nothing remained but a shattered, ten-thousand-foot-long devil corpse.

With a wave of his hand, Levi stowed the devil’s remains. Only then did he turn his attention elsewhere; the level 9 middle-stage Flame Demon remained pinned beneath the Wind and Thunder Emperor Palace. It had watched in helpless horror as its ally was toyed with and slaughtered by the Dusk Palace Master.

Levi reached out and grasped the empty air.

Bam! The Wind and Thunder Emperor Palace slammed down with sudden violence, completely obliterating the Flame Demon’s physical form. It transformed into a rushing torrent of gore and essence that surged toward Levi. The Blood Battle Armor drank in the Flame Demon's remains with gluttonous ecstasy.

Current unlock progress: 8/10.

The Master of Demon Fox, now as docile as a pet, crouched before Levi’s throne. Having witnessed this exhilarating demon-hunting banquet, it shifted into human form and gave a small bow. "Solidina greets the Dusk Palace Master."

"The reputation of the Master of Demon Fox is well-known."

"I pale in comparison to you."

"I have further business to attend to; please, do as you wish."

Having finished off the two level 9 demons, Levi stood and soared into the high sky. He looked down at the swarming Demon Army below and smiled:

"Today, I shall seize the destiny of that wind demon and sacrifice these countless lives to forge the Wind Emperor’s Robe!"

He raised his palm, and four spiritual weapons radiating level 9 power positioned themselves at the corners of the battlefield, sealing it. Above, the Eternal Star Abyss hung like a constellation in the firmament.

Beams of starlight shimmered from the sealing stars, crisscrossing the sky until they wove a titanic net spanning tens of thousands of miles.

Thousands of shadows materialized; most prominent among them were the 49 primary level 8 demon generals, their power ranging from the early to late stages of level 8.

By venturing onto the battlefield to hunt over the years and slaying several level 9 demons, Levi had finally completed the 49 demon generals formation!

But he was far from finished.

Soon, level 9 shadows would be added to the ranks. Levi intended to title them Demon Kings, while level 10 shadows would be known as Demon Emperors. He envisioned a day when the entire workforce of the Abyss would serve him!

Myriads of demons were caught in this trap, their attempts to flee or fight proving futile. They eventually huddled together like sheep for the slaughter. Even the watching devils were stunned by the display.

"What is the Dusk Palace Master intending?"

"I'm not certain, but it looks like a grand ritual."

Levi began using the world itself as his canvas, placing array components forged from rare materials into the landscape to create a complex, esoteric array pattern.

They pulsed with soul-shaking light that shot toward the heavens. Dense, dark clouds began to swirl, crackling with lightning as the immense, crushing pressure of heavenly majesty descended.

Levi remained focused on the array. Every time a Truth Oddity is artificially refined, it must endure tribulations akin to a wizard’s three calamities and four disasters.

To plunder the world's fortune and defy the heavens requires such a price. He had prepared himself long ago. The Chaos Dragon coiled above him, its whiskers swaying and mane flowing, its draconic eyes fixed solemnly on the gathering calamity clouds.

Rumble!

Massive pillars of lightning, a mile in diameter, struck down with unstoppable force! The Chaos Dragon rotated like a Yin Yang Fish, devouring the energy.

Then came the second, the third... an increasing barrage of lightning, fire, ice, and meteors rained down. Any single one of these strikes was enough to overwhelm a level 9 expert.
