Levi perused the ancient tower's lottery prizes, drawn to rare Primordial Relics like the Blood Tai Sui Bone and Flame Soul Fire Eyes, yet opted to conserve his winning chance for future draws involving allies. Concluding his tower expedition after a year, he returned to Nora with bountiful gains, including over 200 Truth Oddities, rare treasures, and the Divine Artifact Earth Emperor Divine Gold, granting him unrestricted access to the lower layers. Four years on, Mana's growth accelerated in the Ancient Banyan Fairyland supported by the expanding Groot Clan, as the Cold-calling Bird attained level 9 maturity amid dispersing tribulation clouds. In the Red Emperor Heaven, Levi relentlessly refined his sword arts over eighteen years, unleashing a limit-breaking slash that birthed an eternal sword qi great wall spanning the Land of Darkness, opening the gate to transcendent power.

Levi put away his blade and accessed the proficiency interface, watching as the symbols for the trio of pinnacle fighting arts started to break down and fuse together.

Levi————————

Ultimate Sword Scripture: Level 10 (1/200,000), Special Effect: Sword Tao Divine Seed, Hundred Extreme Swordsmanship, Hundred Fierce Martial Arts...

[Sword Tao Divine Seed:

This pinnacle sword art connects with the True God. Embed the sword essence inside, surpassing soldier species, forming the sacred sword seed. Everything under level-10 counts as basic sword arts. A single look suffices to grasp any sword technique.

Triggering the divine seed delivers a lasting boost to attributes. Various seeds emphasize different aspects; they are forged from a swordsman's life lessons, wisdom, and insights, transferable across reincarnations.

Seeds can even pass to others, alongside divine longswords or ultimate treasure blades.

After passing on, the seed vanishes from the giver. The receiver absorbs every bit of sword art understanding held in the seed.

To wield the seed demands matching power and bodily traits; the Art of War pairs with the Path of Body, neither can be absent.]

"Combat arts indeed cap at level-10, yet up to now, no prodigy has arisen to smash those chains... Though I'm no prodigy, my proficiency panel lets me shatter these limits through its outer support."

Levi left the Darkness behind and headed back to Red Emperor Heaven.

One month passed.

A wanderer across multiple dimensions arrived in Nora for shelter, crossing the Land of Darkness, and spotted a sixty-thousand-mile stretch of Red Gold River.

Shapeless and ethereal, it kept shifting from decay to renewal, appearing vital, yet serving as a barrier across the void.

Across from the Red Gold River lay Nora's opposing pole, featuring a vibrant, brilliant, and distant million-mile Sun, emitting warmth and radiance.

Everyone recognized it as Edmund’s handiwork, [Nora’s Sun], the beacon lighting the Darkness, a famous marvel of the realm.

However, nobody knew the source of this fresh Red Gold River.

Astonished, the wanderers headed back to Nora.

They spread tales of this marvel through whispers. Numerous powerhouses ventured into the Land of Darkness to witness it. Not one could hide their shock at such immense might, beyond all conception.

On that day.

The Thousand-Eyed Swordsman showed up by the river's brink.

"Could this be... the Sword Qi River? Might it stem from the Star Sky Sword Saint? No, it must be the Dusk Palace Master surpassing the bonds of fighting arts?"

The Thousand-Eyed Swordsman raced back to the Ancient Dragon Continent to confirm with Levi. Sure enough, the Red Gold River stemmed from Levi’s sword training.

The Thousand-Eyed Swordsman’s soul quaked, and he quickly offered praises:

"Well done, old friend, you've stepped into an unparalleled sword mastery unseen before... Come on, spill how you pulled it off, hehe."

Levi shared freely, passing on the insights of "Ultimate Sword Scripture" to the Thousand-Eyed Swordsman. He looked toward the Red Gold River and murmured:

"This Sword Qi River holds loads of my realizations. Given your talent in sword arts, pondering it often will bring gains and snap those chains."

Soon after.

Rumors flew across the lands that the Dusk Palace Master had unleashed sixty thousand miles of everlasting, immortal Sword Qi into the Darkness, rousing every creature.

What force, what reach, what endurance.

They couldn't grasp the might of that blade; maybe it matched Lord Emmon’s Eternal Blazing Sun... and the Dusk Palace Master sat only at level-10.

By the Sword Qi River.

The six Barbarian Lords and Heavenly Will showed up, scrutinizing it intently.

Heavenly Will gave a wry grin, commenting:

"Impressive, what a splendid blade. I figured it was like the Evolution Stone Plate, binding us body and art cultivators... Never thought it just meant not enough insight to reach level-10 arts."

Among the Six Barbarian Lords, the Dragon God Barbarian Lord, a sword bearer who had formed several soldier species, stared at the river, deeply absorbing its essence.

"That strike, I'm afraid it'd take me a full ten thousand years to grasp."

The other Barbarian Lords looked stunned.

"Is the difference really that huge?"

The Dragon God Barbarian Lord nodded, letting out a sigh:

"Even among level-10, a vast gulf separates them."

Heavenly Will added:

"Don't lose heart; give it your all. Though it's Sword Qi, the intent and wisdom inside help with other arms as well, so seize this moment to absorb deeply."

...

Void Holy Temple.

The Star Sky Sword Saint, soaking in a tub of precious healing brew, viewed the mirrored astonishing display with a face full of satisfaction.

"No duel needed, he's triumphed already."

"Sword Qi that endures forever, this is the peak sword art I've chased."

If not for the far distance and pressing war, it would rush to Nora right away to see those sixty thousand miles of Sword Qi firsthand, to marvel at the new stellar phenomenon.

On the throne.

Hera observed the Sword Qi, aware her sword prowess fell short of the Star Sky Sword Saint, but as one who had formed soldier species, she spotted the remarkable nature of that strike.

"With Emmon and Levi, it's Nora's great fortune indeed."

...

Red Plane.

The Fire Sovereign cheered and hopped about in delight.

"Though I'm dubbed the First Sword God, my way crushes all arts with raw power; in pure sword craft, I'm way behind you... So, you deserve the First Sword God spot; I'll take Multidimensional Plane’s Second Sword God."

It forever cherished playing eternal runner-up.

...

Ten Thousand Mountain Range.

Fresh from a brutal clash with the Insect Queen, the gravely injured Amethyst Saint dragged itself back to the Divine Kingdom, slumping on the throne, too drained to budge.

"Curse it, who'd imagine the grand astral world getting hammered so badly by bugs, unable to wipe them out after ages, letting them swell stronger instead. If only I'd backed them sooner... Alas."

Regret flooded the Amethyst Saint’s mind, nothing but regret.
