Four years had passed.
Nora Calendar 2270, Blood Battle 2158.
Suddenly, the Death Knight of Hell’s Seventh Pillar emerged in the Abyss, mounted on his horse all by himself. Even as hordes of Abyss Demons surrounded him, he charged ahead with the Supreme Treasure Tyrant, breaking into the 300th layer of Hell. There, he cut down 9 Level 9 Demons and badly injured the ruler of the 187th layer of the Abyss, the [Illusion Heart Demon King], before ending his own life beneath the open sky.
Ashes formed from the Undying Fire, and his soul ascended far beyond the heavens.
The Supreme Treasure Tyrant shattered the void and vanished completely.
Across the Realm of Hell, billions of Undead let out a collective wail.
They mourned the departure of this world’s inaugural Undying One.
In that very year.
Ancient Dragon Continent.
"Wah-wah-wah!"The cries of a newborn baby echoed as the fourth child of Black Knight came into the world. Of Black Knight’s earlier three offspring, two had already forged their paths through fierce battles, reaching beyond level 6 in cultivation, whereas one had fallen in combat.
"The baby really appears so handsome,"
Madam soothed the sobbing infant, her heart brimming with warmth.
"That look comes from me, sharp features, bold eyebrows, and wide eyes."
"Oh, please, the little one hasn’t fully developed yet."
The ancient spirit from Hell, who had endured for eons, now inhabited this lively body of a short-lived race full of promise, and couldn’t suppress a sigh:
"This must be the sensation of being human."
In the years ahead, a youth boasting remarkable talent in Combat Skills emerged within the Black Knight lineage, famed as [Purgatory Knight Anz].
He focused purely on knightly training, sharp-witted and swift to rise, carving out a reputation on the talent-rich Ancient Dragon Continent and drawing notice from key groups.
The former Undying King sought a fresh chance at life!
On this land called the Ancient Dragon Continent, fresh geniuses and reborn veterans sprouted everywhere, much like bamboo after spring rain.
This realm held a miracle absent from Nora for millions of years, the ultimate cradle of endless talents like "Whampoa Military Academy", where a hundred flowers bloomed, a thousand peaks vied, and all clans shone brightly!
It stood as the heart of the grand era, the spotlight of the Age History Book.
...
Time flew by in an instant, thirty years gone.
Nora Calendar 2300, Blood Battle 2188.
To advance the Nora Knights’ path and oversee the growing ranks of knights, the Supreme Council of Nora founded the Twilight Council.
Heading the Twilight Council was the Dusk Palace Master, who for now operated solo. Those knights attaining level 9 earned status as [Holy Members] in the council.
Reaching level 10 granted them [Star Councilmen] positions, equivalent to Supreme Council roles.
Drawing from legendary wizards, Star Knights received matching titles and honors, easing public recall and grasp while displaying their mighty prowess.
For instance, Twilight Chairman Levi.
His knightly title was [Supreme Knight], bearing the motto [The Longsword that Cleaves Darkness, the Dragon Knight at the Road’s End], with the Knight Star dubbed [Time-Riding Six Dragons]. Upcoming knights would follow this naming style too.
...
Same year.
Ancient Dragon Continent.
A mighty Level 9 Catastrophe arrived, a colossal figure striding onward with a sword strapped to his back, like an unyielding pursuer of the sun!
Twelve massive mechas, each soaring a thousand feet tall, formed a circular array, radiating level 8 power, erecting a vast barrier spanning thousands of miles.
This marked the Mechanical School’s latest breakthrough, called [Twelve Hour Guardian Warriors], where each wielded late-stage level 8 strength; united, they could fell a level 9.
Such Guardian Warriors found broad use in Tribulations, protecting group bases, frontline wars, and more, drawing nonstop commissions across Nora.
Boom!
The Fire Dragon Knight’s blade cleaved the Ancient Bronze Gate, entering the Destruction Sky Domain, where visions of mighty dragons and phoenixes swirled visibly, evoking a godly paradise.
Upon the throne sat a figure who had awaited patiently.
Drained from vanquishing every Blood Tribulation Master in his way, the Fire Dragon Knight reached the throne and panted:
"Commander, the task is done! I’ve hit level 9!"
With that, he slumped in fatigue.
The Layer 9 Catastrophe, combined with the Supreme Bloodline Tribulation, tested the supernova Fire Dragon Knight to his extremes, layer by layer.
Levi gave a faint nod.
"Well done, I nearly offered you an easier route."
Levi gestured, summoning even grander displays of power in the emptiness, not his own, but those of the Fire Dragon Knight standing there.
"Each level 9 knight forms a vital piece of the Six Holy Heavens, and as its builder, I gain from every one. More level 9s mean a firmer Six Holy Heavens, boosting my own might."
Levi sensed it keenly, his strength had indeed risen slightly. As the Knights’ Ancestor, he tapped into the power of every knight bloodline across the world.
He battled not in isolation!
Soon after.
The Twilight Council proclaimed that, apart from Twilight Chairman Levi, the inaugural level 9 knight had arisen, honored as [Fire Dragon Knight] and [001 Holy Member].
The Fire Dragon Knight carried the elite [Great Sun Dragon] bloodline, led the Fire Dragon Family, commanded the Fire Dragon Apostle Group, and raised two supernovas plus numerous geniuses as a father.
With this, the Dusk Holy Temple stepped into a fresh era.
...
Star Constellation Divine Palace.
A realm beyond simple description.
More than thirty entities pulsing with level 10 energy, varied in form and star-sized, drifted through the starry expanse, as if murmuring softly.
Aries, Jade Rabbit, Blind Pig, Heavenly Horse, Spirit Rat, Dark Monkey, Hound... Were Levi present, he’d identify them as the star beasts tied to the Rune Language.
The Blind Pig, eyes shut tight, declared:
"It’s clear now, persisting through bloodlines was the wise path. Back at our era’s height, we never saw so many beings with such supreme potential."
Through endless splits and mergers, bloodlines kept drawing in cosmic energies and multiplying, their overall numbers swelling like a rolling snowball.
