Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2741: 562: Blood Sacrifice Shakes All Demons at Level-10! Death Knight and the Supreme Treasure [Overlord]!

"The Earth Demon Lord seems to be moving toward the Nora Battlefield. The Blood Battle has taken a turn for the worse... Those Gargoyles are everywhere, and they're quite a handful to deal with."

Of the four Great Demon Lords, three have already surfaced, leaving only the Water Demon Lord yet to show himself. It is surely just a matter of time before the final one appears.

The majestic Nether River surged downward as the Kings of the Underworld rode through the waves upon their skeletal steeds. Suddenly, a brilliant golden radiance sliced through the realm. A striking, golden-haired swordsman drew his blade and struck, saturating the atmosphere with a boundless aura of Death. In the wake of his Sword Qi, even the Sky Dome bore the weathered scars of passing time.

The Stone Demon Lord failed to pull back his massive arm in time and suffered a direct hit. In an instant, his limb became shriveled and wrinkled like an old man's; it became so brittle it could no longer endure the pain, forcing a muffled groan from his throat. This was significant, as he hadn't even flinched earlier when facing the Overlord's strike from the Death Knight.

"The 13th Netherworld Emperor, Nine Death Swordman!" The Earth Demon Lord retreated rapidly, his eyes locked onto the golden-haired swordsman with intense focus.

Suddenly, the Flame Demon let out a piercing shriek that was cut short by a colossal pillar falling from the heavens. A figure resembling an eagle dived down, snatched Yinuerde's Demon Body, and ascended to the peak of the pillar.

The entity possessed the head of an eagle and a human torso, with wings as sharp as blades. Holding a Scepter and enveloped in a tempest of Death Energy, it looked down. Though the Flame Demon's body was impaled by thousands of sword feathers, it continued to struggle.

Clutching his blade, Nine Death Swordman declared, "Yinuerde shall be the price paid for the chaos you have sown over the centuries... Valerid, do you have the courage to face me in combat?"

The Earth Demon Lord’s eyes darkened as his physical form began to dissolve, leaving only the resonance of his voice behind.

"Do not be so impatient. One day, the Abyss Army shall crush Hell and overrun the Underworld, and even the Underworld Source River will bow to the Supreme Will. You are far too stagnant, satisfied with the current state of the Multidimensional Plane! Our actions are not an invasion, but rather unification and integration to reach greater heights! Only the evolving Abyss can guide the Multidimensional Plane toward a grander world!"

Nine Death Swordman remained standing with his sword, offering no reply.

With their objectives met, the Beast King and Death Knight departed. The site where Black King City once stood was now nothing more than a field of debris.

In a distant field.

Black King City descended slowly. The Devils, having just witnessed a level 10 confrontation, were still trembling with heavy hearts. The Purgatory Demon Sword remarked, "It’s a good thing you got here when you did, Brother. The tides of war shift in an instant; life and death are truly fickle."

At that moment, his desire to reach the ninth circle grew even stronger.

He didn't just want to reach the ninth circle; he aimed for the dual cultivation of spells and body refinement within it, hoping to keep pace with his Brother without being left behind.

Meanwhile, the Master of Demon Fox was in a state of panic, not even daring to look Levi in the eye. It had never imagined that the two Supernovas of the Wizard World would actually come to the aid of Devils! If Levi hadn't stepped in, Black King City would have been wiped out. Such a spirit of internationalism, putting aside old grudges, was truly rare! Even as a devil, it felt a surge of emotion and was moved to tears.

Later, the arrival of two level 10 Pillars and Nine Death Swordman himself to drive off the Earth Demon Lord for the sake of the Dusk Palace Master only served to confirm the high status Levi held in the Underworld.

The Master of Demon Fox believed that while the Pillars might help it in a similar situation, Nine Death Swordman would never have come personally. This realization sparked a hint of envy and jealousy in its heart.

Ultimately, it pushed aside its complicated feelings and gave a deep, respectful bow. "I thank you, Sir."

Levi replied with a sense of righteous pride, "There is no need for such thanks. We are allies now; how could I simply watch from the sidelines?"

The Void began to ripple as the Purgatory Heavenly Horse neighed, signaling the arrival of the Death Knight and Lady White Bone. She laughed softly, "Sir Levi, it has been quite a while."

Levi chuckled in response, "My thanks to you, Madam, and to you, Death Knight."

It appeared that rescuing Lady White Bone in the past had been the correct path, as that good karma was now being returned.

The Death Knight said politely, "To hear of someone is one thing, but to see them is another. To dare challenge Yinuerde with only a level 9 body—the Dusk Palace Master’s fame is well-deserved!"

Levi offered sincere praise, "Those strikes you delivered earlier were truly magnificent; they gave me a great deal to reflect upon."

The Death Knight gently stroked his black blade.

"I am merely utilizing the power of a supreme treasure. Its name is Overlord, a relic left by a Supreme Being of the Pan-Plane from the ancient era. It came into my possession after passing through countless ages."

Levi had heard tales of the Overlord but was seeing it for the first time.

According to the assessment of Master Bao Long, the sword had a legendary pedigree, likely forged from the remains of ancient, malevolent beings. When swung, it could warp space and influence the flow of time.

The blade could not be wielded by just anyone; compatibility was essential. In the hands of the right master, its strength could rival the top ten items on the supreme treasure list. In the hands of an ordinary person, it might be nothing special. Because of this, Master Bao Long had ultimately placed it at 18th in the rankings.

Judging by the previous battle, the sword and the Death Knight were a perfect match, allowing an early-stage level 10 expert to overpower the Flame Demon of a similar level and exert power comparable to the middle-stage of level 10. It was truly impressive.

While the Death Knight spoke with Levi, Lady White Bone and the Master of Demon Fox went aside to converse. Though they weren't close before, their relationship had improved significantly because of Levi.

Levi and the Death Knight talked for a long time. As he learned more, Levi’s respect for this Undead powerhouse grew. He could also sense that this formidable being had a specific request in mind.

During their conversation, the Death Knight suddenly brought up his former life.

"In my previous life, I ruled as the King of a medium-sized civilization and established a powerful empire. However, I failed to reach level 9 and eventually passed away. After being reborn as an undead, my journey was surprisingly smooth, allowing me to reach level 10 step by step. I am highly respected by the Underworld and have served as the Seventh Pillar for several thousand years. Still, the path of the Undead is too difficult to master, and my potential isn't as vast as yours. Because of this, I have one bold request..."

"Please, speak your mind."

"Once this Hell Blood Battle concludes, I wish to remake myself. I want to reincarnate through your Dusk Holy Temple and become a true knight. Since I am a Hell Pillar and you are the master of the temple, I felt it best to discuss this with you to prevent any misunderstandings."

Levi was caught off guard by the Death Knight's request.

"Sir, don't you still have a significant amount of lifespan left?"

"I do."

"And you are truly willing to abandon your level 10 cultivation from this life?"

"If I cannot progress any further, what point is there in a longer life?"

"That is admirable. I have no objections. Just inform me before you begin the reincarnation process. I might be able to assist you in finding a superior body for your rebirth."

"That was exactly my hope; thank you!"

"By the way, what was your identity in your former life? If you don't mind sharing, that is."

The Death Knight looked toward the sky and let out a sigh.

"The past is nothing more than a drifting cloud; there is no harm in saying it... In my former life, I was the King of the Sun Crown Clan, Victory Monarch Arthur!"
