Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2961: 602: The Fall of a Legend, Tenfold Destruction! (part 2)

Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
Twelve years into the second Nightmare incursion, Nightmare forces outnumber the Alliance Army by one-third in the Shadow Battlefield, pressing their fierce advance despite the defenders' use of geographical advantages from the Shadow World's will. Nora deploys limited support including Mr. Silver, the Lord of Light and Shadow, and several mercenaries, while keeping the Supreme Council's main members back and relying on the elusive Primordial Demon Lord Xuan as a hidden asset; the Void Holy Temple also sends half its strongholds led by the Star Sky Sword Saint. In Nora, the Ugly Dominator invades the dreams of a witch and tens of thousands of others, but the newly refined [Dream’s spin] artifact, controlled by the Daydreamer, activates and obliterates the dominator across all instances, leaving the Sky Ugly Monarch terrified upon witnessing its power.

"What’s wrong?"

The other monarchs inquired successively.

"Big trouble! Nora has developed an astonishing supreme treasure. It appears capable of detecting Nightmare Creatures as they invade Nora, then delivering targeted attacks on our forces through dream power... How could Nora, relying on its technology, create such an item? Is there perhaps a hidden expert directing them?"

"Damn it!"

"Why not rush in and wipe them out!"

"Right, sheer power crushes every method!"

Right then, the Ignorant Monarch declared:

"Hold on, this supreme treasure's strength is surely restricted. First, we should test its boundaries by dispatching extra cannon fodder for a joint assault.

After grasping the details, we'll unleash a total offensive!"

...

Ancient Dragon Continent.

Thanks to the [Bright Sun] and [Moon of Silent Night], these pair of exceptional treasures, conditions here surpass other areas, yet Nightmare incursions happen from time to time. To counter this, the School of Dreams and School of Mechanics labor tirelessly, developing defenses.

Rumble!

With the Eighth Layer of Destruction Heaven demolished, Levi rose to the Ninth Layer, his might surging onward.

"Nine-layered Destruction Sanctuary, Eighth Layer Vajra Holy Realm, Eighth Layer of Invisible Holy Realm, Seven-layered Indomitable Holy Realm, Sixth Undying Sanctuary and Unhidden Sacred Realm, adding up to 44 layers!"

He laid his palm upon the Klein Crystal Ball.

[Spiritual Force: 76000/78000]

...

In recent years, Levi finished the Sequence Artifact from the School of Death, boosting his spiritual force cap by one thousand points, while his spiritual force grew by two thousand points.

Furthermore, he devised the ninth-circle spell in the Sealing Sequence, "Nine Palace Sealing," his sealing arts' pinnacle achievement so far.

Levi's hands shifted form, and high in the Sky Dome, a spatial formation reminiscent of the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams from his past life abruptly appeared, followed by the linking of nine stars, locking down Heaven and Earth!

Across ten thousand miles, space crumpled under immense pressure into a black sphere the size of a palm, like gazing at the cosmos, containing everything.

This drew inspiration from the Grey Mist Monarch.

"Nine Palace Sealing!"

Levi smashed the black sphere, unleashing turbulent spatial streams and debris that swallowed him whole. The Blood Battle Armor glowed intensely, protecting him.

Once space settled again, Levi emerged unscathed.

"This Nine Palace Sealing serves as more than just a sealing technique; it's an offensive method too."

Levi accessed the proficiency panel.

Nine Palace Sealing: Twenty-stage (1/20,000,000)

...

At present, the Nine-Circle Magic Sequence he invented includes seven varieties, all elite spells, disseminated far and wide.

"I only need to elevate the Chaos Sequence to nine circles, and then I'll merge everything to form the initial version of my personal tenth-circle Chaos Magic."

Levi’s legendary route stands evident now: [Chaos Dominator].

Commanding Aether, ruling Chaos!

Across eras, numerous figures pursued this route.

Certain ones succeeded notably, such as the Chaos Ancient Serpent and Seven-colored Scale Master, though today's mightiest is undoubtedly the Lord of Chaos in the astral realm.

Clashes with this supreme deity lie inevitable ahead.

Besides, on the Rune Language front.

His Judgement Rune and Empress Rune reached level 8 cultivation. The boost to damage against faith beings and soul power enhancement hit 70%.

Temporarily halting his seclusion, Levi reached the Supreme Council.

Edmund remarked:

"How's progress holding up?"

Levi replied:

"Reaching level 10 could require roughly two hundred years."

The nearest to level 10 for him remains the Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique, possessing nine-layered Holy Realm; achieving ten layers marks the peak, paving way for a breakthrough.

He inquired:

"Grand Council Chairman, what's the frontline status like currently?"

Edmund responded:

"It's grim; the Nightmare aims to eradicate us completely. This isn't mere probes anymore—the Void Holy Temple lost a level-10 already, but the Nightmare side reports zero losses."

Levi's spirits dropped.

"Should I head to the frontlines?"

Edmund advised:

"Intel suggests the Nightmare Monarchs there lack the materials you require for a Chaos Artifact. Best to concentrate on your growth and stay out of it presently.

We can endure for now."

Levi agreed:

"Fine, but I'm ready to join whenever needed. At my power level today, typical level 10 Middle Stage foes won't stand a chance.

I can even challenge level 10 Late Stage."

Edmund noted:

"From what I've heard, the Abyss stirs too, likely to strike Nora amid our Nightmare entanglement.

Should the battlefront worsen, I'll send additional Legendary Wizards as reinforcements, leaving you to defend Nora."

Levi affirmed:

"Understood. Is Pazuzu still the Abyss's chief commander this round?"

Edmund shut his eyes, shook his head, and replied:

"Negative—it's the succubus queen from the Abyss's 660th layer."

Levi's gaze sharpened.

"Her again; that woman proves a real headache."

As Nora's third millennium dawns, it confronts history's direst crisis; his level 10 success could lighten the load somewhat.

Failure otherwise.

Nora's entirety, its myriad inhabitants, burdens the Grand Council Chairman alone—even a Ming Dynasty weightlifting silver medalist would face utter hopelessness.

...

Five years passed.

Nora calendar 2017, Blood Battle 1905.

Dark Ancient Tower’s Fifth Layer, Kane Land.

Before Levi loomed a robust blond male wizard, shirtless, with a striking visage and nine dragon tattoos across his back.

A transcendent-esque "Nine-Striped Dragon Shi Jin."

"Master, we've verified it's the Nine Dragons Emperor's reincarnation; how did you discern it?" Leon's voice echoed in Levi’s mind.
