...
At the same time.
Somewhere within the Land of Darkness.
Levi wrapped up his count of the loot gained from raiding the Divine Race Headquarters. As the possessor of the Dark Ancient Tower, where he'd witnessed countless marvels, he still felt a deep astonishment.
In total, there were 4399 Truth Oddities, with three hailing from Radiant Sun: [Fire God’s Fury], [Thunder God’s Head], and [Golden Emperor’s Palace].
The initial pair requires little explanation; they serve as components for Sequence Artifacts. As for the Golden Emperor’s Palace, it belongs to the Elemental Proof category, delivering a genuinely delightful shock.
Regarding rare treasures, the haul included 1024 pieces, among them 11 Nine-level Treasures. The majority consisted of uniform rare treasures forged by the Holy War Army Master for his incarnations, specifically the [Golden Moon Halberd].
Three standout pieces caught attention:
[Black Demon Armor], [Sun Piercing Spear], [Fierce Dragon Boxing Gloves].
All three rank as elite among level nine, perfect for the Fire Dragon Knight to wield. With his current late level 8 power, equipping such gear enables him to clash with level nine foes.The next one, a spear, suits Louise perfectly, given her mastery in spear skills. Being a level 9 powerhouse without a nine-level treasure seemed downright absurd.
The Fierce Dragon Boxing Gloves match Gandalf ideally, the Body Refining Great Wizard skilled in fist fighting, granting boosts to power and strike potency.
The worth of the remaining materials probably surpasses 20 trillion Aether Stones, though Levi couldn't be bothered to tally them all, opting instead to stash everything in the organization's vault.
Additionally, around 110,000 transcendent beings raised by the God Race were captured, featuring roughly three thousand from the Dragon Clan, mostly a hybrid dragon breed called [Blood Dragon Horse], serving as steeds for Divine Race warriors to provide swift mobility and fighting aid.
For years, Twilight Sanctuary had delved into studies of dragon-horse hybrid dragons, hoping to equip each member with a ride. This haul from the God Race turns out to be a hidden blessing.
Naturally, the worth of these assorted treasures fades in comparison to the level 36 supreme treasure gripped by Levi: [Sunset Moonfall Halberd].
Upon refining it, Levi uncovered its three primary abilities:
First off, it enhances the wielder's power and velocity, boosting each by roughly 300%.
Next, it houses several level-10 special effects, including the advanced sharpness [Gold Cutting] and the superior durability [Indestructible]. Armed with this treasure, Levi faces no concerns over weapon breakage until Crimson Dragon Slashes reaches level ten.
Finally, when battling close to a plane, the halberd pulls in the plane's power to utterly overwhelm the opponent. The greater the number of planes, the fiercer the suppression. When combined with the Holy War Army Master's original spear art, the results prove even more potent.
"As a supreme treasure at the lower ranks, it proves quite adequate."
Levi swung the halberd, each swing sending tremors through many nearby planes, as though they yearned to whirl in rhythm with the weapon.
"Armed with this, I can drop the Dragon Spirit and Worm Lord reliance. It lets me take on those lacking supreme treasures even at level 10 middle stage... Supreme treasures hold immense significance for level ten battles."
On that day, Levi located a forsaken world and erected a vast refining formation in its barren lands. The Eternal Star Abyss materialized, hurling tens of thousands of Divine Race soldiers into the array. They remained breathing, yet their cultivation stood sealed.
At the heart sat the Giant Head Star Lord, boasting peak level 9 cultivation from the Thunder Clan, famed for its lightning traits. Levi intended to forge it into the ultimate Sun Refining Artifact: [Thunder Emperor’s Crown].
For the sacrifices, the lives of these Divine Race members would suffice. Levi had preserved them until now for exactly this purpose, brutal though it seemed. Such is the grim truth of the Civil War.
Surrounded by endless curses, the refining ceremony commenced. Levi perched elevated in the heavens, observing the fading sparks of innumerable lives.
All the souls and bodies of the Divine Race fed into the sacrifice, and shortly, the Octagonal Star Formation took shape. The Giant Head Star Lord perished in agony, its Creation cultivation dissolving back into the cosmos, swiftly gathering beneath the refining array.
In this way, a month elapsed.
The emblematic Oddity Great Tribulation fell to Levi’s mighty fist, its thunderous clouds scattering across the firmament, silencing the world as a violet crown hovered overhead.
Levi, clutching [Golden Emperor’s Palace] in his left grasp and [Thunder Emperor’s Crown] in his right, made his way back to the shelter, enveloping the region in the Night Barrier Bead’s fog, then entered secluded cultivation.
...
Ten years slipped by in an instant.
In that span, wanderers now and then wandered into the fog encircling Levi’s retreat, only to get ejected, departing with a haunting dread.
Over time, this area surprisingly evolved into a no-go zone.
Post-refining the artifact, Levi avoided hasty emergence, instead focusing on solidifying his spiritual force domain to prevent drawbacks from hasty growth.
One fine day, a pair of golden silhouettes approached from the distance, radiating an imposing aura. One donned golden armor, sporting Golden Scales on his brow, a single horn, and a curved nose, emanating a majestic vibe reminiscent of the Golden Horned King from Journey to the West.
The companion was an elderly figure clad in a golden starry gown with flowing golden locks. He fondled his golden beard, engaging in cheerful banter with the armored one. At last, they halted at the edge of the boundless mist.
The golden-haired elder remarked:
"Fascinating, I've caught wind that this mist once held a level 9 expert captive for three full years before releasing him. It has to be some relic from ancient ruins, an array of old power."
The horned, hooked-nose figure responded:
"Maybe it's a harbinger of some extraordinary treasure surfacing. With such formidable might, couldn't it signal a supreme treasure? What say you, Golden King, shall we venture in together?"
The golden-haired elder chuckled and replied:
"We're both deep into late stage level 9 cultivation; united, scarcely anyone below level 10 could stand against us. Though the mist packs a punch, it won't hold us forever.
Yet suppose a supreme treasure truly awaits inside? How would we handle that?"
The hooked-nose answered with assurance:
"In that case, we'd settle it by our abilities, of course. We've been acquaintances for a thousand years, but skipping a contest over a supreme treasure would surely anger the heavens."
