Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2763: 566: Bloodline Demon Seed Secret Scripture, Heaven’s Return, Third Full-scale Invasion!

The year is 1542 of the Nora Calendar.

Deep within the Ancient Banyan Fairyland, Levi summoned his proficiency panel to check his progress.

Nine Sword: Twenty-stage (1/20,000,000)

...

Several decades had passed, and the sequence magic known as "Return of Myriad Swords" was finally perfected. Following a recommendation from Saint Emperor Zhou, Levi had renamed the spell. Instead of the original "Sword One" designation, it was now called "Nine Sword," with each stage representing spells from the first to the ninth circle. This new naming convention was more intuitive and carried a more impressive ring to it.

Entering the Nightmare World to test his power, Levi activated the "Nine Sword" technique. Behind him, the heavens shifted into a brilliant gold as vast tides of golden element energy surged like a boundless sea. As he chanted, the energy coalesced into a billion lethal blades. These swords possessed the versatility to either swarm together for a devastating single-target strike or scatter to carpet an entire area, proving to be an exceptionally formidable mastery.

"Good, good, that’s so impressive!" Levi muttered, unable to hide his self-satisfaction.

"It is indeed quite remarkable." Triss smiled as she approached, a medicine basket hanging from her shoulder. She had just finished a foraging trip in the Chaotic Wilderness. The basket she carried was the "Flower God’s Basket," a ninth-level artifact and a sacred treasure of the Witch’s Family, typically reserved for the reigning witch's use.

"Lady, have you finished the Five Poison Sequence Potion?" Levi inquired.

"I have. Once every component for the Five Poison Sequence was gathered, the five poisonous projections merged, triggering a unique transformation," Triss explained. With a wave of her hand, she summoned five vibrant streams of light that fused into a five-colored pot, radiating a terrifying pressure.

A mischievous, dark smile played on her lips as she continued:

"This is the Five Poison Pot. It holds the 'Five Poison Divine Water,' an exotic substance of unparalleled toxicity. Should a Ninth-Circle Wizard be tainted by it, no medicine can provide a cure and no god can offer salvation—unless they possess the specific antidote I created. Tsk tsk tsk... within a mere seven days, the victim will dissolve into a pool of putrid pus. Even their primordial soul and soul will be consumed, leaving no chance for reincarnation. Tell me, do you think it is poisonous enough?"

Levi gasped in response:

"So poisonous!"

Levi noticed that Triss’s personality had shifted ever since she began refining the Black Queen Snake. The gentle, mature aura she once held had been replaced by a cold, seductive "black widow" temperament. It seemed that wielding such dark powers could inevitably color one's soul.

However, he wasn't overly concerned. It was common for those in the Burning School or Lightning School to be short-tempered. While such elemental influences might sway those at lower realms, they mattered little to high-level practitioners whose willpower and character remained the ultimate anchors.

After their brief conversation, Levi made his way back to the Ancient Banyan Fairyland.

He had now achieved mastery over three original ninth-circle spells: "Primordial Magnetic Giant Soldier," "Light Giant," and "Nine Sword." For a Senior Nine Ring Wizard, possessing even a single signature spell was considered a great feat. Levi’s progress had already far outpaced the norm.

Upon analyzing his options for a fourth original spell, he decided to focus on the Dream Faction.

Since the traditional Elementalist Schools were already well-established, Levi wished to bolster the more obscure paths. Furthermore, his Nightmare Emperor Dragon was a sovereign of the dream realm, which would undoubtedly assist in developing original magic. As for the complexities of space and time manipulation, he decided to set those aside for future investigation.

...

In the Land of Darkness.

Amidst the infinite void where Black Flame and demonic energy swirled, a crimson-scaled serpent, stretching a hundred miles long, manifested. It slowly shifted its form, transforming into a stunning woman draped in black robes. She was the Snake Mother, a Hidden One of the Council of Ten Thousand Clans, whose true identity was the Nine-Headed Prison Snake.

Two figures soon arrived. Though both radiated a level 8 aura, one was particularly odd. He was a massive man in heavy black armor, yet his aura flickered with instability, suggesting he had taken a shortcut in his cultivation.

"Reyas pays respect to Snake Mother!"

Beside him, Victor, the Crow Feather Demon King, gave a booming laugh. "The mission is a success! Reyas has broken through to the Eight Circle and has mastered the Nine-Headed Hell Snake Body Tempering Technique!"

Long ago, in their quest to groom a genius for the Snake Mother, they had scoured the Midland Continent. Out of the many candidates selected, only Reyas had survived the process, especially after the interference from Gandaph and his allies.

Fortunately, Reyas was a rare talent blessed by fate, possessing a Knight Bloodline and an incredible aptitude for body-refining wizardry.

In less than two millennia, he had reached the Eight Environments, making him one of the few Eight-Ring Body Refining Wizards currently existing in the Wizard World.

"You have done well, Victor. You are dismissed."

The Snake Mother tossed a Level 9 Abyss Core to the Crow Feather Demon King as a reward.

"My thanks, Snake Mother!"

With his prize in hand, Victor departed immediately, showing no further interest in Reyas's fate.

The Snake Mother swayed her hips as she approached the nervous, blushing Reyas. "Come, I shall show you something interesting," she whispered.

In an instant, she and Reyas vanished, teleporting through the void.

They reappeared inside a massive nest.

Arranged like a macabre laboratory were 44 translucent serpent eggs. Each was filled with a murky yellowish fluid, and within each egg floated a corpse. Every single body emitted the pressure of a level 8 powerhouse.

Terror gripped Reyas as he realized that many of these corpses had practiced the exact same Nine-Headed Hell Snake Body Tempering Technique that he had mastered.

At that moment, the Snake Mother reverted to her true form—a hundred-mile-long serpent radiating the power of a mid-stage level 9. She had long been desperate to break through to the elusive Level 9 Late Stage Realm. However, the potential of her Nine-Headed Prison Snake bloodline had reached its limit; further advancement seemed as impossible as reaching the stars.

Years ago, however, she had unearthed a forgotten cultivation manual in the Abyss known as the "Bloodline Demon Seed Secret Scripture." After mastering its secrets, she began using her own bloodline as a "seed" to be planted in other hosts. Some were rare snake species, while others were body-refining wizards who were fed a modified version of her technique. These victims were her "Bloodline Demon Seeds," and she was their "Bloodline Demon Master."
