Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2792: 571: Visualization Map, All Battle Card, Cosmic Light Dragon, The New Era of Knights!

Once these two primary phases were finished, the following objective involved the methodical conversion of the Dusk Holy Temple’s knights, spreading the tenets of the Six Emperor’s faith.

...

Time marches on, and seventeen years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Nora Calendar marks the year 1577, while the Blood Battle has reached year 1465.

As victories on the Nora battlefield mount, the demon presence within the restricted zones is noticeably thinning. No longer content to waste troops on futile skirmishes, the Abyss has begun consolidating a more terrifying legion, intending to obliterate Nora in a single decisive strike.

This shift has encouraged many wizards hungry for war merit to seek out a secondary front. Consequently, the Nora Council announced that any wizards or clans venturing into Hell to hunt demons would have their efforts recognized by the war merit system. This declaration has sent shockwaves through Hell.

The Purgatory Demon Sword and numerous wizards from the School of Death have emerged as the primary victors of this policy, as Hell serves as a familiar territory for them.

A formidable military force, spearheaded by the battle group, has launched an invasion into the realms of the undead and devils. Under the watchful eye of the Underworld, Hell has been forced into submission. Wizards now harvest demons and extract precious resources from the depths of Hell.

At the same time.

The immense demonic aura accumulated over nearly fifteen centuries of the Blood Battle has been processed by oasis creatures, resulting in a doubling of the world's elemental power density. Furthermore, the physical dimensions of Nora continue to swell, with certain regions expanding multiple times over.

The progression speed of a wizard’s Cultivation is dictated by two main categories:

First are the internal factors unique to the practitioner, such as innate talent and personal diligence.

Second are the external factors, encompassing the surrounding environment and available resources.

The concentration of elemental power dictates the overall advancement of the entire civilization. Two millennia ago, it would have been a miracle for a Child of Chaos from a backwater region to successfully become an official wizard.

In the current era, however, anyone with wizarding talent—even a Child of Chaos—can typically reach first-ring cultivation, provided they aren't exceptionally lazy or cursed with bad luck. Dedicated "Liver Emperors" or those blessed with minor strokes of fortune can even manage to advance to the second-circle without much trouble.

For those possessing triple affinity, attaining the third-circle and becoming a mid-level wizard has become standard through hard work. If they utilize even a basic Earth oddity to bolster their talent, the path to the fourth and fifth-circle becomes far less daunting, with some even successfully reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

Regarding those with dual-class affinity, they were considered one-in-a-hundred prodigies before the Blood Battle. Over the last two thousand years, it has become quite common for such talents to ascend to the Nascent Soul level.

Naturally, this surge in Nascent Soul advancements is not solely due to increased elemental power; the plummeting costs of various medicinal pills, driven by technological leaps and war spoils, have played a vital role.

As for the Children of the Elements and the elite geniuses above them, they remain the pinnacle of talent. The new era of Nora has shattered their previous ceilings. Where the sixth-circle was once their limit, the seventh-circle or even the eighth-circle is now a tangible goal!

In this age, oasis creatures represent only a fraction of the progress. Through the combined efforts of the Nora Council and countless innovators—aided significantly by the "foreign resources" provided by demons—the wizard population continues to grow despite the casualties of war.

Simultaneously, the practice of knights is no longer confined to the Ancient Dragon Continent. With the Dusk Holy Temple serving as their spiritual heart and central command, temples have proliferated across the New World and the Land of the Four Seas like mushrooms after a spring rain. The knight population has surged far beyond historical levels, transforming this once-obscure Cultivation path into a mainstream power.

In the beginning, skeptics doubted the knights, fearing that a system dependent on bloodline essence and bloodline crystals would cause the extinction of transcendent beasts. They predicted knights would eventually trap themselves in a developmental dead end. Today, the Dusk Holy Temple has silenced every critic with undeniable results.

As dictated by the will of Heaven, [bloodline] is not a fixed resource; it is capable of evolving as it absorbs external energy through generations of breeding. Though a bloodline might appear to thin out over time, from a God’s Eye View, the cumulative volume of bloodline power is actually expanding.

To support this, the Ancient Dragon Continent founded the Giant Beast Paradise and established breeding centers across more than a hundred New Worlds. By partnering with the School of Spiritualism to artificially trigger bloodline branching and expansion, they have created a perfect synergy between knights and bloodlines. This sustainable model represents a harmonious bond between humanity and nature!

On this particular day.

Knights from every corner of the world are converging on the Ancient Dragon Continent.

It is the two-thousandth birthday of the Dusk Palace Master, a monumental occasion for all knights. Furthermore, the Extreme Knight Levi recently announced that the knight-related card system is finally complete, with a grand unveiling scheduled for today.

The Dusk Holy Temple Square is overflowing with people.

The Eighteen Riders have returned from their various travels, encircling the Sky Dome. They radiate a powerful presence, their expressions fixed with unwavering resolve.

Towering behind them are the silent, ethereal forms of eighteen legendary mythical beasts, standing like ancient deities keeping an eternal vigil.

The most prominent figure is undoubtedly the Fire Dragon Knight, whose true form now reaches a staggering thousand feet. As the years have passed, the influence of the Fire Giant King’s bloodline has become increasingly dominant.

Today, the Fire Dragon Knight, who has yet to reach two thousand years of age, has successfully broken through to become the second Level 8 knight in history, following in Levi's footsteps!

"Such power... are these truly the fathers of the two supernovas?"

"It's terrifying. I feel as though they could obliterate an eighth-circle demon with a single strike."

Standing within the crowd is a muscular powerhouse resembling a Giant Spirit God; he stands a hundred feet tall and has reached the Level 6 Middle Stage of Cultivation. Despite his rank, he possesses the raw power to execute Level 6 Late Stage demons. This is none other than the Sun Chasing Knight, Abel.
