Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2988: 609: The Dragon King’s Triple Treasures Descend!

Four years had elapsed.

Nora Calendar 2270, Blood Battle 2158.

Suddenly, the Hell’s Seventh Pillar Death Knight emerged within the Abyss, riding solo on his steed. Even as hordes of Abyss Demons swarmed him from all sides, armed with the Supreme Treasure Tyrant, he charged straight into the 300th layer of Hell, cutting down 9 Level 9 Demons and gravely injuring the ruler of the 187th layer of the Abyss [Illusion Heart Demon King] prior to ending his own life beneath the vast sky.

The Undying Fire reduced to cinders, his soul ascended far beyond the heavens.

The Supreme Treasure Tyrant shattered the void and vanished entirely.

Across the Realm of Hell, countless 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.

With the newborn’s wails filling the air, the fourth offspring of the Black Knight came into the world. Of the Black Knight’s prior three children, two had already forged their prowess through trials of blood and flame, their cultivation surpassing level 6, whereas one had fallen in the heat of battle.

"The little one really appears so striking,"

The Madam soothed the bawling infant, her heart brimming with tenderness.

"That look, it mirrors mine perfectly—well-defined features, bold brows, and wide eyes."

"Oh, please, it’s not even fully developed yet."

The ancient essence from Hell, having endured for eons, now inhabiting this lively, promise-laden form of a fleeting mortal race, couldn’t suppress a deep breath:

"This must be the sensation of being human."

In the years that followed, a youth boasting remarkable Combat Skill Talent arose in the Black Knight lineage, famed as [Purgatory Knight Anz].

He focused exclusively on knightly training, displaying keen intellect, and swiftly carved out a reputation across the talent-rich Ancient Dragon Continent, drawing notice from key organizations.

The former Undying King sought a fresh existence!

On this land called the Ancient Dragon Continent, fresh prodigies and reborn veterans sprouted abundantly, much like bamboo after spring rain.

This realm held wonders absent from Nora for millions of years, serving as the "Whampoa Military Academy" for boundless talents, where a hundred flowers blossomed, a thousand peaks vied, and all clans shone brilliantly!

It stood as the heart of the grand epoch, the spotlight in the annals of Age History.

...

In a flash, three decades flew by.

Nora Calendar 2300, Blood Battle 2188.

To advance the Nora Knights’ endeavors more effectively and oversee the rapidly growing knight collective, guided by the Supreme Council of Nora, the Twilight Council came into being.

At the helm of the Twilight Council sat the Dusk Palace Master, who for now operated as a solitary leader. Those knights attaining level 9 earned status as [Holy Members] within the council.

Level-10 achievers could ascend to [Star Councilmen], equivalent to seats on the Supreme Council.

Drawing from the honors of legendary wizards, Star Knights too received fitting titles and epithets, easing public recall and grasp while displaying their formidable might.

For instance, Twilight Chairman Levi.

His knightly designation was [Supreme Knight], bearing the motto [The Longsword that Cleaves Darkness, the Dragon Knight at the Road’s End], and his Knight Star as [Time-Riding Six Dragons]. Upcoming knights would follow this naming convention.

...

That same year.

Ancient Dragon Continent.

The mighty Level 9 Catastrophe arrived, a colossal figure akin to a giant advanced steadily with a sword strapped to his back, evoking the relentless pursuit of the sun!

Twelve mechas, each soaring a thousand feet tall, stood arrayed in a clockwise formation, radiating level 8 auras, forming an immense barrier spanning thousands of miles.

This marked the Mechanical School’s latest breakthrough, dubbed [Twelve Hour Guardian Warriors], with each wielding late-stage level 8 strength; united, they could fell a level 9.

These Guardian Warriors found broad application in facing Tribulations, protecting organizational strongholds, bolstering frontlines in battle, and numerous other fields, as orders poured in from across Nora without end.

Boom!

The Fire Dragon Knight’s blade cleaved the Ancient Bronze Gate, entering the Destruction Sky Domain, where visions of power dragons and phoenixes swirled in the sight like a celestial paradise.

Upon the throne, a silhouette had awaited patiently for some time.

The weary Fire Dragon Knight, having dispatched every Blood Tribulation Master in his way, reached the throne and panted:

"Commander, the mission is complete! I’ve attained level 9!"

With that declaration, he slumped in utter fatigue.

The Layer 9 Catastrophe, coupled with the Supreme Bloodline Tribulation, in relentless waves, had tested the supernova Fire Dragon Knight to his utmost.

Levi gave a subtle nod.

"Well done, I nearly offered you an easier path."

As Levi gestured, even more potent visions of power emerged 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 oversee them all. The greater the number of level 9s, the firmer the Six Holy Heavens stand, and the mightier I grow."

Levi pondered the sensation, noting his power had indeed strengthened slightly. As the Ancestor of Knights, he could draw upon the strength of every knight bloodline across the realms.

He battled not in isolation!

Soon afterward.

The Twilight Council proclaimed that, apart from Twilight Chairman Levi, the inaugural level 9 knight had emerged, honored as [Fire Dragon Knight] and designated [001 Holy Member].

The Fire Dragon Knight, bearer of the Supreme [Great Sun Dragon] bloodline, led the Fire Dragon Family, commanded the Fire Dragon Apostle Group, and fathered two supernovas along with several geniuses.

In this way, the Dusk Holy Temple stepped into a fresh era.

...

Star Constellation Divine Palace.

An unfathomable dimension.

More than thirty entities pulsing with level 10 auras, varying in form and stellar in size, drifted through the starlit expanse, as if murmuring softly.

Aries, Jade Rabbit, Blind Pig, Heavenly Horse, Spirit Rat, Dark Monkey, Hound... Should Levi be present, he’d identify them as the star beasts tied to the Rune Language.

The Blind Pig, eyes shut tight, remarked:

"It’s clear that persisting through bloodline form was wise. Even during our era’s zenith, we never witnessed so many beings harboring such immense Supreme potential."

Through endless splits and mergers, bloodlines ceaselessly drew in cosmic energies and multiplied, their overall volume swelling like a rolling snowball.
