Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2970: 604: Mythical Return, Star Knight!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
The strength and heritage of these entities have been transmitted across ages through careful breeding and expansion, refusing to vanish but instead inherited by knights such as ourselves.
In theory, when this universe hits its ultimate capacity, the count of level 10 knights could rival or even exceed the ancient Stars Gods.
It could surpass them entirely... Thus, assembling a force of one hundred and eight Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Knights to roam the cosmos becomes entirely feasible.
This hinges on dismantling the existing power structures, unleashing all those accumulated resources, closing the chapter on gods and demons, and ushering in the Ten Thousand Spirit Era."
Levi stares up at the Sky Dome.
That moment draws near.
...
Two years afterward.
Nora Calendar 2152.
In the Red Emperor Heaven, an elusive silhouette of a massive crimson star looms behind Levi, hovering aloft with a diameter spanning tens of thousands of miles, erupting with fierce flames that extend into the emptiness."Condensing the Ten Layers of Destruction Sanctuary completely into a Destruction Star demands decades... Reforging my Crimson Dragon Slash will also need some time, so in the interim, I'll switch to the Sunset Moonfall Halberd."
Levi examined his proficiency panel.
The Golden Emperor Dragon and Black Emperor Dragon Breathing Techniques had both hit their peak, each harnessing the might of the Ten Layers of Sacred Realm; with the proven success from the Crimson Emperor Dragon, the upcoming advancement promised to be straightforward.
He headed first to Golden Emperor Heaven, encountering yet another enormous golden star there, adorned in golden scales that gleamed with a deep golden sheen, exuding grandeur and awe.
This served as the cradle for the Golden Emperor Dragon.
The Land of Darkness had grasped Levi’s determination, so this round it skipped tempting him toward the stars to merge with the Golden Emperor Dragon, opting instead to channel its full illusory power and spawn a twisted colossal dragon to eradicate Levi.
But Levi now stood vastly transformed from his prior self.
The Red Emperor Star materialized at his back, as he unleashed the ever-more-skilled "Star Sword Scripture" and "Thousand-Eyed Sword Scripture," swinging the halberd with fury!
The stellar vision crumbled, the void quaked, and inside Golden Emperor Heaven, a colossal sun forced its way in, swallowing the warped giant dragon; amid deafening blasts, the beast was flung back.
"Kill!"
Levi pressed the advantage, his halberd crashing down repeatedly.
The freshly born Golden Emperor Dragon found itself utterly overwhelmed by his onslaught, pinned beneath Levi, and within fewer than ten thousand exchanges, utterly destroyed.
The Golden Emperor Star Palace collapsed, employing the skies and earth as its forge, the dragon’s form as raw material; after eighty-one days, it yielded a Golden Emperor Dragon Ball!
Levi swallowed it down.
Once more, the well-known ritual of Dragon Soul integration unfolded.
With little resistance, Levi dispersed the Golden Emperor Dragon Soul, drawing it into his core soul and converting it to fuel that bolstered his mental energy and its ceiling.
Ten years passed.
Levi rested his palm on the Klein Crystal Ball anew.
[Spiritual Force: 84000/84000]
...
"Without realizing it, I've surpassed the standard cap by 14,000 spiritual force units, sitting just 16,000 short of the Legendary baseline. Should I elevate all Six Emperor Dragons prior to reaching Legendary, my ninth-circle spiritual force would eclipse that of a typical Legendary Wizard... An unprecedented feat, this embodies the magnetic draw of dual Witch Knight cultivation.
Still, my spiritual force has surged excessively in such a brief span; for the coming century, I must avoid pushing it further, delaying the Black Emperor Dragon’s rise."
Within Levi’s consciousness.
His core soul, armored in scales of gold and crimson, had ascended to unprecedented potency.
Eighty-one trillion Golden Emperor Divine Palaces scattered like riverbed sands, radiating motes of golden radiance that gathered on Levi’s frame, crafting a gleaming golden sheath.
He struck at it fiercely with a supreme treasure, the clang of metal ringing out as the halberd rebounded, leaving only a faint gash in the golden layer that sealed itself swiftly.
"Hahaha, even supreme treasures can't harm me; purely in terms of toughness, my physique rivals Divine Iron—this is genuine indestructibility, the Vajra form!"
He accessed the proficiency panel.
Levi————————
Golden Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique: level 22 (1/1 billion), Special Effect: Golden Emperor Dragon BodySupreme Level (level 10 Early Stage); Exclusive Weapon: Golden Dragon Heavenly Shield (level 9); Bloodline Divine Patterns: 81/81; Heavenly Sovereign Authority: Vajra Sacred Realm (Ten Layers); Star Sovereign Authority: Vajra Star (Zero Star).
...
Mirroring the Crimson Emperor Dragon—save for reforging the divine weapon—the Golden Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique’s key goal now lay in forging the Vajra Star. The instant six mighty stars aligned overhead would signal the dawn of an unbeatable path below Supreme.
"This seclusion dragged on far too long; I wonder about the war’s progress? Lord Emmon hasn’t tracked me down either—time to head back to Nora."

Nora Calendar 2162, Blood Battle 2050.
Front lines of the Nightmare War, Shadow Battlefield.
The alliance forces kept pulling back their defenses amid the Nightmare Army’s relentless push, now huddled at the shadow’s core, fortified in the Shadow Will territory.
This marked the Shadow World’s final bulwark.
Should it fall, the resolute Nightmare Army would surely eradicate the Shadow Will, erasing every trace of the Shadow World.
Truth be told, without the Shadow Will curbing the Nightmare forces’ might and granting favorable conditions of time and terrain, enabling allied level 10s to unleash their full potential free from planar bounds, the alliance’s level 10 contingent wouldn’t have held out this long.
Supreme Council.
Edmund occupied the round table solo, eyes shut in contemplation.
"Grand Council Chairman, I’ve attained level 10."
Levi entered boldly, his aura vastly amplified from before.
Joy sparked anew in Edmund’s steady gaze.
"Knight level 10?"
"Indeed, my spiritual force has hit its peak too—only the Ten-Ring Spell Prototype and Legendary Artifact need extra preparation."
"Excellent, truly excellent—level 10 is superb."
Edmund rose, unable to restrain his applause for Levi.
"Does your power now rival a Late Stage level 10?"
Levi considered briefly, then answered
