Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 3125: 642: Nora Epic
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
"Golden Sun Absolute LawWisdom Spirit Mountain!"
A phantom peak descended from the sky, striking the Golden Sun.
Had it been at its peak, the Golden Will would have broken free instantly. But it was already exhausted and out of tricks. After being suppressed, it couldn't move for a short time.
"Damn it, Tian Hui, you betrayed me!"
The Golden Will cursed as its defense was broken.
Heavenly Wisdom Saint King stated blandly:
"It wasn’t I who betrayed you; it’s the arrangement of fate."
The Golden Will couldn’t grasp the meaning. However, Heavenly Wisdom Saint King knew that over four thousand years ago, the Golden Absolutes Race ship [Blackstone] was sent into the Dark Ancient Tower by his own hand.
When Levi first encountered the Golden Absolutes Race on the Fifth Level, the power from the [Mortal Circle] had marked the Golden Ancient Tree from nowhere. If one isn’t supreme, escape is impossible.
The struggles of the Golden Sacred Realm were merely a delay to their meeting.
As Sauron’s duplication, Tian Hui understood the immense power of that treasure, forged by combining several primordial and supreme objects. It could completely transform an individual, allowing strangers and protagonists, mortals and Children of Destiny, to defy the heavens!
"You... traitor!"
It took the Golden Will ten breaths to break free from the restraint, but it was already too late. The cage that imprisoned Levi turned to ashes in the red flames.
A six-headed giant dragon, its wings spanning a million leagues, materialized. Red, gold, black, white, green, illusion! The six massive dragon heads converged in a discordant, bizarre, yet extremely powerful form.
Levi once again surpassed his own limits, realizing he could begin to fuse the Six-dimensional Breathing Technique. Simultaneously, on his proficiency panel, the Occupational Fusion Rate displayed: 50%.
The Pure White Witch rode the six-headed dragon, soaring through the air. Legendary spells and spell-like abilities rained down overwhelmingly. Six distinct dragon breaths unleashed simultaneously, while four colossal dragon claws, like pillars supporting the sky, pinned the Golden Sun in the void. Despite its struggles, the giant dragon held firm.
Amidst shrill cries, the Golden Will's aura weakened progressively. Yet, as the World Tree, its life force was incredibly robust, comparable to a supreme being.
The battle raged for a full three years, day and night, until Levi could no longer sense any trace of the enemy's aura.
A grand, majestic true soul erupted, repelling Leon. "Six God Sky Blue Hand!" Heavenly Will descended from the sky, driving the true soul eighteen levels underground with a single palm strike. Only then could Leon exert his full effort to claim this true soul. After consuming it, a period of digestion and sleep would be necessary.
The six-headed dragon ceased its onslaught, breathing heavily. This torrent of power had been unleashed by Levi for three consecutive years! He was utterly drained.
"Anything close to supreme is difficult to erase... It's no wonder exterminating the Frost Giant Ancestor in the astral world took considerable time back then," he mused. He surveyed his surroundings. The civil war between the Shadow Army and the Golden Absolutes Race had also concluded, with the Shadow Dragon Group and Ten Thousand Dragon Ascension Group securing victory without suspense. This was even with Heavenly Wisdom Saint King acting as a spy.
In the void, three special golden leaves floated, each embroidered with the pattern of a serpent, a bull, and a deer. These represented Undying, Ming Xi, and Spirit Heart Saint King, who, like their three deceased brethren, had once been ancient mythical beasts that later evolved into unique beings. Additionally, 107 lesser golden leaves were present, presumably belonging to the Saint crowd. Even Earth Awakening had fallen due to the demise of the Golden Holy Tree.
With billions of other golden leaves, these constituted the wealth accumulated by the Golden Will over millions of years. Even Levi, a seasoned traveler, couldn't help but gasp. "If Nora could completely digest these, civilization would advance to the next level... These are Truth Oddities that can be utilized without refinement costs."
Though incomplete, they could serve as treasures that significantly boost spiritual force. Furthermore, other special functions could be acquired, such as the "Holy Image Law" that Levi had been using for a long time. Even with the Golden Will deceased, the law on his panel remained undimmed, indicating its continued usability.
However, the most precious asset was undoubtedly the corpse of the Golden Will. Its entangled roots, still emitting a golden luminescence even in death, resembled thousands of intertwined golden dragons, constantly secreting a supreme power. This was the purest form of "Power of Origin," possessing creation and transformative capabilities, alongside numerous other attributes. It represented a domain no less significant than Chaotic Power, holding unlimited potential.
It's just that the Origin Divine Tree perished prematurely, its might unable to manifest fully.
Mana stood beside Levi, her chest rising and falling erratically.
A whirlwind of emotions churned within her as she faced ancestors she had never encountered before.
Levi gripped the root, uttering an incantation to diminish its size.
Eventually, it was reduced to the dimensions of a bonsai.
"Mana, you shall be the steward of this new Origin Divine Tree."
Mana responded:
"For me? Why not bestow it upon Pandora? After all, she is already at Level 10 Middle Stage. Perhaps with refinement, it could swiftly mature into a top-tier powerhouse, even ascending to the supreme realm."
Levi stated:
"Pandora has her own path I've arranged."
For reasons unknown, Mana's eyes welled up slightly.
Perhaps the suddenness of her joy brought tears to her eyes.
She spoke, a mixture of laughter and tears in her voice:
"From the moment I received a leaf of the Origin and gained sentience, I never imagined that one day I would possess nearly an entire Origin tree."
Heavenly Will remarked:
"What is there to dare not think about? By following the Emperor, you should broaden your ambitions."
Levi let out a hearty laugh.
"Precisely. As vast as your aspirations are, so too will be the stage set for you."
Lifted by the words of both, Mana broke into a smile.
With a blushing demeanor, she returned to the Ancient Banyan Fairyland.
This, indeed, was a world-altering creation.
Gazing upon the Land of Origin, now fractured into innumerable pieces, swift shadows diligently gathered fallen leaves, while Leon, hauling a colossal net, ceaselessly collected true souls.
Heavenly Will produced a tome. Like a chronicler of ages, he began to record.
[Year 3743 of the Nora Calendar: Grand Council Chairman Levi, embarking alone into the Land of Origin, subjugated the Sacred Realm with his might, vanquished the three kings, and extirpated the ancestral tree. The Golden Absolutes Race met utter devastation!]
It wasn't, of course, a complete annihilation.
Only one individual managed to survive.
That person was Heavenly Wisdom Saint King.
He appeared noticeably aged.
As a lineage intertwined with the Golden Ancient Tree, their fates were generally bound; the demise of the ancient tree often meant the end for others. However, one who reached Level 10 naturally possessed unique survival methods.
Heavenly Wisdom Saint King's eyes gleamed with vitality.
He had never experienced such profound liberation.
The instant the Golden Ancient Tree succumbed, its great wisdom perceived an unseen thread of destiny beginning to fray—a thread tethered to Nora.
Connected to the tower.
And also linked to Levi, who stood before him.
He regarded Levi with a degree of surprise.
Originally, after Sauron's demise, he had himself interred within these three entities.
He had supplanted Nora's will with his own consciousness and soul; his physical form was merged into the Dark Ancient Tower; and his immense spirit and supreme power were poured into the forging of that ultimate treasure!
Now, Sauron had honored his pledge.
The invisible shackles binding Heavenly Wisdom Saint King's duplicated form were entirely severed.
From this juncture, Heavenly Wisdom Saint King was truly free.
He was no longer a mere tool or a copy serving another's purpose.
No longer burdened by any duties or directives.
With a resounding laugh, he stepped into the boundless void, vanishing without a trace.
Witnessing this, Heavenly Will inscribed:
[Heavenly Wisdom Saint King, overwhelmed by the Grand Council Chairman’s overwhelming power, suffered a mental breakdown. Acknowledging his past contributions, the Grand Council Chairman granted him leave. He has not been heard from since.]
