Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 3131: 644: Mere Abyss

The preparations are more or less complete. The next step is to consolidate everything, then incorporate the [Heart of Wan Chuan], one of the Primordial Relics, to forge the [Proof of Ten Thousand Waters] and achieve the legendary status.

Regarding the other three great relics that Emperor Wan Chuan and the Empress spoke of.

Those are matters that can only be stumbled upon by fate, not actively sought. Even if Levi were to vanquish the Sea God and the Lady of the Lake.

He would still be unable to assemble the complete [Heart of Clear Spring].

Furthermore, Nora is in no condition to wage war against the astral world at this juncture. However, if a suitable opportunity presents itself, she will undoubtedly ascend to the legendary realm.

Once she attains legendary status, it won't be too late to pursue the remaining three waters.

"Once my knight cultivation and Energy Sect progress reach the same level, and all three of my paths – Qi and spirit – reach their peak, I wonder if my strength will be sufficient to contend with the weakest Level 10 cultivator?"

Elena possesses a unique tripartite talent.

Even Levi, if we disregard any duplicated cultivation, is essentially practicing both knighthood and wizardry concurrently.

Following her emergence from seclusion, Elena made her way to the Black Dragon Territory.

"Levi, I wish to gauge the disparity between myself and a Level 10 cultivator."

Levi responded with a smile:

"You are still some distance away, but you are welcome to attempt it."

With a mere thought, the earth rose and fell, manifesting a giant soldier of the Level 10 Early Stage.

"Master, what are your commands?"

Levi instructed:

"Engage her with your full strength and observe how long she can hold her ground."

The colossal soldier regarded Elena with a hint of hesitation.

While its intelligence was not exceptionally high, it still recognized her as its master's beloved.

Elena reassured it:

"Fear not, I cannot perish here."

The giant soldier scratched its head and truthfully replied:

"Very well, I shall give it my best effort."

As it spoke, it launched a straightforward, unadorned punch towards Elena.

Mountains trembled in its wake, rivers altered their courses, and the very fabric of heaven and earth seemed to warp.

Elena opted not to meet the blow head-on. After evading the strike, she unleashed her self-devised ninth-circle spell, [Dripping Water into Sword]; this was, at present, her most potent offensive technique.

Utilizing the spell as a veil, Elena allowed the Power of the Candle Dragon to surge forth.

With a delicate cry, her golden tresses billowed like a tempestuous wind. Piercing through myriad water swords, a cyan Sword Qi, imbued with the essence of burgeoning life and abundant growth, profoundly impacted the giant soldier.

Vine Entanglement ensnared its four limbs, constricting like a formidable serpent.

Capitalizing on the momentary advantage, Elena unleashed an Absolute Skill from the Energy Sect.

A resplendent Vermillion Bird, wreathed in infernal flames, rode the gale and collided with the giant soldier.

This combined assault was exceedingly spectacular, flowing with a seamlessness that appeared divinely orchestrated.

Even the giant soldier was caught off guard, unable to react in time.

Yet, aside from a few superficial fissures, it remained entirely unharmed.

It suddenly exerted its immense strength, shattering the restraints and emitting a thunderous roar.

The resulting sound wave dissipated the myriad swords and propelled Elena's form from its concealed position.

She managed to hold her ground for a while longer by relying on her wizard tower.

Ultimately, however, she was defeated.

In less than a quarter-hour, she dematerialized into white light, returning to the city.

Back within the Black Dragon Territory, observing Levi's amused expression, she confessed with a sense of dejection:

"The gap is truly that immense, isn't it..."

Levi stated:

"What did you anticipate? That reverse-slashing Level 10 cultivator I employed, did you believe its prowess was merely for show? Heh heh heh; to this day, no one has managed to surpass that record."

Elena chuckled and remarked:

"Look at you, basking in your own glory."

However, she genuinely perceived the profound chasm in strength.

Logically speaking, among cultivators of the ninth-circle, she was already considered exceptional, a phoenix among mortals.

Yet, when contrasted with Levi's prior achievements, the difference felt like a precipitous drop.

Levi offered encouragement:

"But there is no need for you to feel disheartened. Although I have deliberately suppressed this giant soldier's realm to the Level 10 Early Stage, its actual combat prowess is considerably high; a majority of the Weak Gods in the astral world cannot match it. Once your three paths reach their peak of Level 9, achieving a reverse-slash against a Weak God will not be an insurmountable challenge. With a supreme treasure augmenting your abilities, victory will be even more assured."

For a Level 9 Body to vanquish a Weak God is not an unprecedented feat throughout history.

Even prior to Levi's era, there were certain prodigious individuals who accomplished such a feat.

Elena expressed her relief:

"Hearing you put it that way eases my mind considerably."

Levi advised:

"Focus on your cultivation. If matters proceed favorably, it is conceivable that Nora might launch an offensive against the astral world before you even reach the legendary realm. At that point, we shall reclaim the [Heart of Lake] and the [Heart of the Four Seas], allowing you to refine them into the [Proof of Ten Thousand Waters] as well."

Elena affirmed:

"I understand; the greater objective takes precedence over all else."

To her, these Primordial Relics were not an indispensable requirement.

She belonged to the Candle Dragon Bloodline, renowned for its exceptionally long lifespan.

Upon achieving Mythical status, her lifespan would extendboundlessly.

It was sufficient for her to accompany Levi for a considerable duration.

As for reaching the Supreme realm, she genuinely did not concern herself with that matter at present.

Furthermore, Hera’s Lost only solidified her conviction.

Within this Universe, achieving Supreme status is not necessarily advantageous.

She was, instead, quite eager for Levi to guide her to a world more conducive to the flourishing of the Energy Sect.

Subsequently, Levi imparted to Elena several crucial points to bear in mind for achieving Legendary status.

Not long thereafter, she proceeded to the front lines, intent on refining her techniques through combat.

Three days elapsed.

Fingal’s form materialized in the distance.

"I have apprehended a demon duplication alive," he announced.

Trailing behind him, a Level 6 demon was ensnared by chains of utter blackness.

Fingal elaborated:

"The Level 9 Demons terminate their own existence far too swiftly; I was unable to secure any alive."

Levi responded:

"I comprehend. You may depart for now."

"Should you require anything, do not hesitate to contact me."

Levi summoned forth the Wind Demon Avatar. The Deep Red Eyes then unsealed, allowing torrents of Nightmare Emperor Dragon Power to permeate the demon duplication, akin to ink dispersing in water, spreading outwards.

Boom!

Instantly, his consciousness traversed immeasurable Space, a kaleidoscope of shifting perceptions, as if plummeting endlessly from celestial heights, descending... until a colossal Insect came into view.

It was a creature of a dark, earthy hue.

Excluding its head, its body comprised 666 distinct segments. Following the 666th segment, lay a partial segment of an even more distended and colossal form, seemingly in the process of its ultimate development—likely destined to be the 667th layer.

"Abyss..."

Levi hesitated to proceed further.

The Eternal Sleep could be obliterated with a mere gesture.

His apprehension was reserved solely for those two Supreme entities.

He temporarily retracted his consciousness.

"With my current Level 10 Middle Stage Nightmare Emperor Dragon Power, it remains insufficient for a distant invasion and the annihilation of the Eternal Sleep. I must await further advancement... or resort to employing the Black Emperor Parasite."

Levi contemplated.

He dispatched a directive to the Supreme Council, instructing them to devise a method for capturing a Level 10 Demon alive from the Blood Battle Battlefield situated within the Multidimensional Plane, with no restrictions on its power.
