Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2792: 571: Visualization Map, All Battle Card, Cosmic Light Dragon, The New Era of Knights!

Once those two primary objectives were finished, the following mission involved the systematic conversion of the Dusk Holy Temple knights and the propagation of the Six Emperor’s faith.

...

Time marches on, and seventeen years have vanished in a heartbeat.

The calendar marks Nora Year 1577 and Blood Battle Year 1465.

As victories on the Nora front accumulate, the demon count within the restricted zones is visibly thinning. The Abyss has ceased squandering its legions on futile skirmishes, choosing instead to consolidate a terrifying force intended to obliterate Nora in a single strike.

This shift has motivated numerous wizards hungry for war merit to establish a secondary front. Consequently, the Nora Council announced that any wizards or clans venturing into Hell for demon hunting would have their exploits recognized by the war merit system. This declaration has thrown Hell into a state of upheaval.

The Purgatory Demon Sword and various wizards from the School of Death have reaped the most benefits from this policy, as Hell serves as a virtual second home for them.

A formidable military force, spearheaded by the battle group, has launched an invasion into the realms of devils and undead. Under the suppression of the Underworld, Hell has remained submissive. Wizards now hunt demons while simultaneously plundering Hell for its resources.

During this same period.

The immense demonic aura generated by nearly fifteen centuries of blood battle has been filtered by oasis creatures, resulting in a doubling of the overall elemental power density. Furthermore, the physical dimensions of Nora are expanding steadily, with some regions growing several times their original size.

Two primary variables dictate the pace of a wizard's Cultivation:

First are the internal factors unique to the individual, including their innate talent and dedication.

Second are the external factors, such as the surrounding environment and available resources.

The concentration of elemental power governs the progression of the entire civilization. Two millennia ago, it would have been a landmark event if a Child of Chaos from a backwater region managed to become an official wizard.

In the current era, however, any individual with wizarding talent—even a Child of Chaos—can typically reach first-ring Cultivation unless they are plagued by extreme misfortune or laziness. Certain "Liver Emperors" or those blessed with minor opportunities can even successfully advance to the second-circle without issue.

For individuals with triple affinity, achieving the third-circle to become a mid-level wizard is now a standard feat with sufficient effort. If they utilize even a low-grade Earth oddity to bolster their talent, the path to the fourth and fifth-circle becomes much easier, and some may even reach the Nascent Soul equivalent of a primordial soul.

Regarding those with dual-class affinity, they were considered one-in-a-hundred geniuses before the blood battle began. Yet, over these last two thousand years, it has become quite common for such talents to ascend to the primordial soul stage.

Naturally, this surge in primordial soul advancement is not solely due to elemental richness; the plummeting costs of medicines—driven by technological leaps and war spoils—have played a vital role.

As for the Children of the Elements and the elite talents above them, they remain the pinnacle of genius. The new era of Nora has consistently pushed their ceilings higher. While the sixth-circle was once their limit, the seventh or even eighth-circle is now a tangible goal!

In this age, oasis creatures represent only a fraction of the progress. Through the combined efforts of the Nora Council and countless innovators, and bolstered by the "foreign aid" provided by slain demons, the wizard population continues to grow despite the casualties of war.

Simultaneously, the practice of the knight path is no longer confined to the Ancient Dragon Continent. With the Dusk Holy Temple serving as the headquarters and sacred ground, temples have emerged across the New World and the Land of the Four Seas like mushrooms after a rainstorm. The knight population has exploded far beyond historical levels, transforming a once-obscure Cultivation path into a mainstream power.

In the beginning, many skeptics doubted the knights, fearing that a system dependent on bloodline essence and bloodline crystals would cause the extinction of transcendent beasts. They predicted knights would eventually collapse into a developmental dead end. Today, however, the Dusk Holy Temple has silenced every critic through its sheer success.

Just as the will of Heaven dictates, a [bloodline] is not a static resource; it can be refined and expanded by drawing in external energy through centuries of breeding. Though a bloodline may appear to thin out over generations, from a God’s Eye View, the cumulative total is actually increasing.

To support this, the Ancient Dragon Continent founded the Giant Beast Paradise and established breeding centers across more than a hundred New Worlds. By partnering with the School of Spiritualism to artificially trigger bloodline multiplication, they have created a perfect synergy between knights and their bloodlines. This harmonious balance between humanity and nature proves that sustainability is the core principle!

On this particular day.

Knights from every corner of the world are flocking toward the Ancient Dragon Continent.

Today is the two-thousandth birthday of the Dusk Palace Master. It is also a monumental day for all knights, as the Extreme Knight Levi recently announced that the knight-related card system is finally finished, with a grand unveiling scheduled for today.

The square of the Dusk Holy Temple is overflowing with people.

The Eighteen Riders, who had been wandering abroad, have all made their return. They stand surrounding the Sky Dome, radiating overwhelming auras with gazes that remain unshakable.

Behind them loom the silent, shadowy forms of eighteen legendary mythical beasts, standing like ancient deities keeping an eternal vigil.

The most prominent figure is undoubtedly the Fire Dragon Knight, whose true form reaches a height of a thousand feet. As the years have passed, the influence of the Fire Giant King’s bloodline has become increasingly pronounced within him.

The Fire Dragon Knight, who has not yet reached two thousand years of age, has recently broken through to become the second Level 8 knight in existence, following only Levi!

"Such power... are these the progenitors of the two supernovas?"

"It's terrifying. I feel as though they could obliterate an eighth-circle demon with a single strike."

Within the massive crowd stands a powerhouse built like a demonic titan; standing a hundred feet tall himself, he has reached the Level 6 Middle Stage of Cultivation. Despite this, he possesses the raw power to execute Level 6 Late Stage demons. This is the Giant Spirit God Witch—the Sun Chasing Knight, Abel.
