Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2863: 583: Another True God Falls, A New Legend!

Alexandra and Elsie command their forces in the Hell realm against demonic foes. Despite their talents being somewhat limited, the protective cover from their elder brother's Purgatory Demon Sword ensures they flourish effortlessly. Elsie has just broken through to the Eight Environments stage not long ago.

Beyond his cultivation pursuits, the Holy Infant crafts a top-grade Eight Rings Wizard Tool roughly once every hundred years, or occasionally a unique treasure he forges himself, which sustains his renowned reputation.

Through years of collaboration with Duke Rumon and fellow Blacksmith Masters on exotic artifacts, the final stages of the "Primordial Soul Treasure Refining Method" are almost complete.

Regarding Gandaph.

The potion business overseen by Gandaph is run by his team of leaders, while he focuses solely on directing potion experiments and innovations, delegating all other tasks. In recent times, Triss has taken a larger role in managing the shop, as it remains her greatest enthusiasm.

Gandaph pours his primary efforts into developing and refining body tempering methods.

The fusion of the "Thousand-Eyed Titan Body Tempering Technique" and "Dragon and Snake Prison Suppressing Divine Skill" approaches its finale; an unparalleled cultivation system across history is on the verge of emergence!

Even with the Earth Demon Lord's demise, the Gargoyle Army's danger to Nora's destiny lingers. As head of the Body Refining Department, Gandaph persistently enhances and refines the "Purple Crystal Body Refining Technique," elevating it to the Eight Environment level.

Owing to Leon's recent advancement, the analysis of the Amethyst Race's supreme "Sacred Skills" has advanced without hitches. By extracting the core elements and removing the flaws, Gandaph's research group, in partnership with the Dusk Holy Temple, has developed a battle system known as "Combat Skill".

Clash against foes, clash against the land, clash against the skies!

Combat Skills split into three tiers: Human, Earth, and Heaven.

These align with entry-level, intermediate, and advanced body refining wizards, pairing ideally with the "Purple Crystal Body Refining Technique," though they work with various other body tempering arts as well.

Results from real battles prove highly effective.

At equivalent realms, wizards trained in Purple Crystal Body Refining overpower two Stone Statue Demons with ease. Furthermore, this advantage expands as wizard levels rise.

Following rigorous selections, those who master the Purple Crystal Body Refining Technique up to the eight-ring wizard stage can dispatch three to five Stone Statue Demons without effort. When facing Stone Statue Demons one-on-one, Purple Crystal Wizards' fighting prowess now eclipses that of traditional spell wizards.

From now on, Body Refining Wizards and spell wizards shine in their own domains, neither inherently better nor worse, and the long-held bias against body refining wizards is slowly crumbling.

In the far-off tomorrow, body refining paths could rival the splendor of spell wizards.

As the old proverb states:

Thirty thousand years east of the river, thirty thousand years west of the river.

Do not bully the body refining underdogs!

...

Eastern Sea.

Shepherd Swordsman Victor dwells in that region, relentlessly purging the leftover demon traces across Nora. One hundred two golden miniature swords streak through the heavens.

Nowadays, thanks to various acceleration techniques, the count of these small swords rises steadily every century. Speeding it up further proves challenging. He once experimented, finding that each extra small sword boosts his sword formation's strength by one percent.

Should he reach two hundred swords, the might would double.

Releasing a thousand swords would yield a hundred times the power.

A Nine Rings Body could even fell a True God.

Yet this Golden Electric Sword Grass likely doesn't bend the heavens to that degree.

From ongoing studies, after nine rings, fighters who cross major realms usually wield primordial techniques.

A simple plant couldn't possibly harbor a Primordial Spirit, could it?

Alongside wizard path progress, his standout gains lately lie in the Energy Sect route.

Post-level eight, insights strike him every decade, each bringing gains. He consulted other Mystic Sky Treasure possessors, and none matched his pace.

Thus, he suspects his Spirit Embryo physique and the Spiritual Treasure "God-Slaying Flying Saber" harmonize, sharpening his insight and boosting enlightenment chances.

At this rate, upon hitting nine rings, the Energy Sect path should swiftly ascend to level nine, unlocking "Taibai Invisible Sword Qi".

On that particular day.

Atop the Sword Tower's summit.

Victor assumed a cross-legged position.

He'd freshly gained another insight and was relishing its nuances.

"A handful more insights like this, and I'll hit Level 8 Middle Stage. The Energy Sect path really twists logic and defies norms. Per the ancestral master's teachings, this cosmos isn't truly fit for Energy Sect growth. Should the proper cosmos appear, the Energy Sect's potential and ceiling might not lag behind the wizard path at all."

All at once, his eyes shifted toward the remote emptiness. From its endless core, cinders drifted like in Silent Hill, barren and lethal.

Victor parted his lips and exhaled, unleashing a golden sword Qi.

Whoosh!

The emptiness cracked apart, and a dark form fled with a stifled grunt. Victor opted against chase, departing the spot instead, weighed down by heavy musings.

That shadow's aura just now... it was level nine.

The Nightmare World beyond can no longer hold back. Via the Cosmic Dark Side Fragment—namely, the Ashen World—a modest incursion into Nora has commenced.

...

Sea of Ashes.

A slim ghostly figure silently materialized.

It caressed the slowly mending gash on its torso, showing a hint of astonishment. This is the ghost shadow Overlord, loyal to the "Ghost Alley Monarch," tasked with probing Nora and collecting data.

"Perception so sharp, killing power so fierce—is Victor merely at Eight Ring Perfection? Or perhaps another Dusk Palace Master?"

In its rear stretches the Sea of Ashes, immense and endless, teeming with Fallen and Nightmare Creatures, their dread presence twisting the skies and ground.

The overhead firmament bears countless crimson and ebony fissures.

Myriad Nightmare Creatures plunge into the sea like falling dumplings, while mighty Overlord presences descend via ceremonies.

Still, up to now, no Monarch has arrived in person.

Valued forms avoid risky spots. Since antiquity, across all societies, the exalted ones dispatch underlings first to charge the front lines and probe adversaries.
