Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2995: 610: Machine Sage Madison! On the Eve of Battle!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
Serving as an eternal bastion for this realm, a shield against all vile antagonists! Once the [Chaos Ruins] spell is invoked, it remains a cosmic marvel for eternity. Only those possessing greater Chaos Authority than the caster could possibly dismantle it. In theory, this technique permits the deployment of four such phenomena simultaneously. One remains to guard Nora, while the trio is harnessed for offensive theater. Levi has resolved that should the Giant World push him to his breaking point, he will embed a Pale Sun into the heart of the most prosperous zones within the Abyss, the Nightmare, and the Astral World. Let the worlds crumble, and let everything be reduced to dust!
...
As of now, the requirements for Levi to ascend to the legendary tier are within arm's reach. All that remains is to refine a Chaos Artifact and forge a Legendary Profession. While he awaits the supplies from the Succubus Queen, he persists in honing his Knight Breathing Technique and rigorously refining his existing magic sequences. For instance, he once only touched upon the Plague and Poison sequences to maintain his progress, but now he has the luxury of time to perfect them, much as he did with the Sealing Sequence.

Cultivation escapes the bounds of time. Forty years pass in a blink. The year is 2400 of the Nora Calendar, or 2288 of the Blood Battle. Within the Ancient Banyan Fairyland, the growth of the Dragon Clan has spiked, fueled by the supreme [Crystal Palace] treasure, the ninth-level [Dragon Pearl] and [Star Pearl], and a suite of extraordinary spiritual lifeforms. The Sky Frost White Snake has attained the ninth-level complete form. The Immortal Banyan Dragon and the Great Flame Sparrow Dragon have both reached the late ninth level, bordering on the pinnacle. Adolescent pure-blooded dragons, such as the Ash Dragon, generally hover between the seventh and eighth levels. Veteran sub-dragon elders who joined the Dragon Palace early, including the Black Lotus Beast and the Bloodsucking Demon Dragon, have already achieved their complete forms. As Levi keeps collecting, the count of sixth-level dragons in the Heavenly Realm nears one thousand, bestowing true prestige upon the Dragon Palace. This figure excludes other transcendent beings; altogether, the number of sixth-level creatures in the Ancient Banyan Fairyland has surpassed three thousand, a force comparable to a major civilization. As both Levi and his dragons rose, the Star Dragon Spirit hit the mid-tenth level, while the Blood Dark Dragon Spirit sits at the early tenth level with steady growth. However, the Blood Battle Spirit, having lacked demons to hunt, remains at the early tenth-level mark. The Shadow Dragon Group has seen an epic leap following the slaughter in the Shadow Battlefield: three hundred monster generals, sixteen demon kings, and four demon emperors—the Old Sea Dominator, the Sky Pool Monarch, the Sky Ugly Monarch, and the Sky Filth Monarch. The Old Sea Dominator has reclaimed its early tenth-level power, though the others trail at the late ninth level, awaiting further tempering. The Eternal Star Abyss requires only the final push to become a Legendary Wizard Tool, and the Seven Treasures still need to consume Seven Elements Divine Gold. In short, Levi requires a decisive, satisfying battle to furnish the materials and energy needed for a total metamorphosis of himself, his summons, and his artifacts. Per the information provided by the Pale Monarch, this moment approaches.

Before long, in the White Emperor Sky, Levi emerges from his meditative state. "The Blood Knight has also attained level nine." Within the inaugural layer of the Indomitable Heaven, a scarred warrior, wielding a swift blade to dispatch Blood Tribulation Masters like Maya, sits upon his Jade Qilin Throne. An image of a beast manifests from the heavens, signifying the birth of a new Power Image. "My congratulations, Holy Member 002." Levi strides ahead; his strength ripples anew. This sensation of effortless growth is deeply satisfying. "Commander, I have succeeded... though I failed to reach the Supreme level," the Blood Knight murmurs weakly. "Do not fret; the Supreme tier is a matter of destiny. Simply entering the Mythical realm places you among the elites of the Land of Darkness," Levi reassures him. In truth, the supply of Supreme combat power in this universe is finite, and the resources demanded for such a birth are unfathomable. Thus, until the universe undergoes massive expansion, even if the Dusk Holy Temple produced dozens of Supreme candidates, only a fraction would achieve it. That is the harsh reality. Consequently, once Nora unifies and secures the Multidimensional Plane, it must seek expansion and explore new horizons, initiating a grand age of cosmic discovery. But that is a tale for another day. Every era bears its own burden, and Levi's generation is tasked strictly with laying the foundation. Let the exploration and conquest be left to those who follow.
...
Levi and the Fire Dragon Knight remain anomalies. By comparison, the Blood Knight relied on raw talent, iron will, and mindset to surge into the ninth level. The veterans of the 18 Twilight Cavalry are also mere steps away from the ninth level; the Blood Knight’s success bolsters their resolve significantly. Reaching the ninth level is destined.
...
The Land of Darkness. The Nightmare Camp. The Lost Monarch surveys his surroundings, where a hundred cataclysmic auras weave into an invisible pressure potent enough to shatter a massive world. Having suffered two defeats, the Nightmare World exercises greater caution. Upon merging with the Abyss, it summoned twenty Monarchs, including the Four Great Calamities. This is the extent of the Nightmare's available forces; any more, and the opportunistic insects of the Astral World might capitalize on the disorder. Even with Nora emerging as a Quasi-Giant, the Nightmare remains fixated on its perennial rival, the Astral World. The Ignorant Monarch reflects internally: [The Abyss has bolstered its forces to sixty level-ten entities. With my camp, we total one hundred and sixty—twice the strength of Nora. This battle must result in our triumph.] The Wisdom Tablet settles its mind. It looks toward the Abyss barracks, where the Succubus Queen strikes a provocative pose. On the eve of war, it admires the portrait of the young, handsome, white-robed Sauron, who gazes heavenward at a 45-degree angle. Suddenly, instructions manifest: [All is in readiness; prepare for the strike. Eliminate the Lost first; spare the Ignorant if required.]
...
The Underworld. Joined by the Void Nether Emperor and the Nine Death Swordsman, fifty potent level-ten figures, including the Ancient Holy Light Dragon, descend into the Nether River. Deep within the Netherworld Ancestor Hall, the grey-robed swordswoman contemplates the "Sorren Quotations." [The Lost Monarch must perish; it holds the Endless Labyrinth within its own flesh to siphon Nightmare Power from its residents. Its death will liberate many level-nine warriors and countless lives, allowing the sealed Shadow Fall Master of the Shadow World to return. The Ignorant Monarch, an avatar of Blind Foolishness, serves as my pawn; its life may be spared based on necessity. The Succubus Queen fulfills my mandate; keep her alive, but reveal nothing. I hold another asset within the Abyss, essential to checking the Abyss Will, to be activated only at the decisive moment. Should this clash proceed, the Nightmare will cease to be a mortal threat to Nora, allowing for controlled erosion. One variable remains: the Astral World. Even with Dark Insects pinning down their left flank, they may try to intervene with their right. If they refuse to stay neutral, I have a contingency prepared in the Astral World to incite chaos. If they attempt to pick up the pieces afterward, the plan proceeds unchanged.] The Nether Ancestor shuts the tome. Sauron’s designs and Nora’s growth face the ultimate test. Should this victory be secured, the structure of the Multidimensional Planes will be shaken to its core.
