Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 3162: 652: The Doctor Who Saved Civilization, the Medicine God Who Ended Gods and Demons!

With the Nightmare Stone clasped in his hand, Levi's consciousness instantly returned to the Nightmare World. It was, of course, most convenient to refine such an artifact in this very place.
After a moment of contemplation, he summoned the Netherworld Ancestor.
"You've managed to find the Nightmare Stone?" the Netherworld Ancestor inquired.
Levi confirmed with a simple, "Yes." This response seemed to genuinely surprise the Netherworld Ancestor, who then offered a commendation, "Kars was indeed another one of Sauron's contingency plans."
A hint of irritation surfaced, "That fellow! He really doesn't inform us of anything!"
Nora was still unaware of how many other fallback plans Sauron had up his sleeve, making the situation akin to opening a mystery box – far too exhilarating.
The Netherworld Ancestor then posed a question, "How will this item be divided?"
Levi proposed his solution, "Half for Nora, and half for the Underworld. What do you think of that arrangement?"
Nora's current achievements would have been impossible without the support of the Underworld. The destruction of the Nightmare Will had heavily relied on the power of the Mother River, yet bringing the stone back was also a testament to Nora's own efforts. Fairness dictated that splitting the spoils was the wisest course to avoid any future discord.
Levi himself harbored no strong attachment to possessing the stone. Having it was good, but if not, he was confident he could continue his cultivation journey step by step.
His primary intention was to provide a portion to Fingal, enabling it to achieve supremacy swiftly. This would allow it to fully master the Nightmare World, consequently accelerating Nora's progression.
As for hoarding the entire stone for himself,
Levi had never even entertained the notion. Firstly, it was a matter of ethics. Secondly, he knew he could not conceal such an act from the Mother River. To attempt such a deception would, at the very least, sow animosity between the Underworld and Nora, potentially fostering ulterior motives. In the worst-case scenario, it could lead to a complete rupture with Nora, turning them into adversaries and utterly dismantling their current foundation.
The Netherworld Ancestor let out a soft chuckle and agreed, "Very well. If you trust me, I shall entrust this to the Mother River and have it cleave the stone with its supreme power. I suspect you would find it quite difficult to break apart on your own."
Levi then handed the stone over to the Netherworld Ancestor. "Then I shall leave it in your capable hands." He had already attempted to sever it and found it impossible.
With the Nightmare Stone now secured, the Netherworld Ancestor departed for the Underworld, a smile gracing her lips. "Nora is indeed a partner worthy of our trust," she mused.
...
Five years later, in the year 4455 of the Nora Calendar.
Within the Ancient Banyan Fairyland, Levi suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha, it is done—my third professional spell!"
He had spent hundreds of years simulating scenarios within the [Multi-Dimensional Space] demiplane, delving into the profound mysteries of time and space to a degree seldom reached by even Legendary Wizards. Perhaps only Sauron had achieved a greater understanding.
With a mere thought, a radiant white force field enveloped him, resembling a swirling nebula. It seemed to contain countless worlds within its expanse, where each mote of dust represented a universe. The nebula spun in a seemingly random fashion; worlds flickered into existence and then vanished, time and space holding no sway in this realm of utter chaos, much like the very edge of the cosmic expanse.
Levi opened his proficiency panel.
Levi ——————————————————
Infinite Land: Level 22...
"Chaos Ruins," "Hand of the Universe," and "Infinite Land"... Whether for offense, defense, or control, my Legendary Profession spell system is now complete. Other legendary spells can serve as supplementary abilities."
He then transported himself to the Nightmare World.
At that precise moment, the Netherworld Ancestor materialized before him. "Levi, the division of the spoils has been completed."
Levi accepted a pile of Nightmare Stone Fragments, sensing the potent Nightmare Power within. The Nightmare Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique within him activated autonomously, causing his proficiency to surge.
"All thanks to the Mother River," he expressed gratefully.
The Netherworld Ancestor inquired, "When shall we commence hostilities?"
Levi replied, "Nora is prepared to march at any moment."
The Netherworld Ancestor stated, "Then it should be before the year 4500. Further delays could introduce unforeseen complications. The Mother River has recently refined a portion of the Nightmare Stone's power and can utilize this to slightly enhance her strength."
Levi agreed with a simple, "Okay."
He turned his gaze towards the Netherworld Ancestor, a smile playing on his lips, and proposed, "Lady, would you perhaps grace me with a spar?"
Aside from the Netherworld Ancestor, he currently had no opponents of comparable caliber.
The Netherworld Ancestor paused for a beat before responding with cheerful alacrity, "Certainly. How much of my strength should I employ?"
Levi suggested, "Let us begin with fifty percent."
The Netherworld Ancestor's power was already at the pinnacle of the intermediate stage realm. He feared that facing her full might immediately would be overwhelming, potentially leading to an embarrassing display.
The Netherworld Ancestor then said, "Very well. Let me know when you are prepared."
Levi activated the [Infinite Land] protective field. A cosmic river, formed from the essence of three billion worlds, flowed around him. In that instant, it was as though he had donned the universe itself as a cloak.
The Netherworld Ancestor let out a sound of admiration, "A truly brilliant technique!"
Employing only half her strength, she casually swung her sword. Under the influence of her supreme death power, the very fabric of the world began to waver, all vitality draining away. Yet, as this formidable power surged towards Levi, it encountered an insurmountable obstacle within the Infinite Land.
Everything began to fragment, dissolve, and fall apart.
Levi remained completely still, the Death Sword Energy vanishing into unseen threads.
He gazed at the force field, peeled away layer by layer, and inquired:
"Lady, could you perhaps increase the strength by another ten percent?"
"Certainly."
The Netherworld Ancestor's gaze filled with intrigue.
She was keen to discover the upper limits of this individual's tenth level, wondering if he could truly conquer the astral realms and the abyss without needing to ascend to Supreme.
At sixty percent strength, a fissure had already appeared within the Infinite Land.
When the strength reached seventy percent, a section of the Infinite Land was obliterated.
Upon reaching eighty percent strength, the Infinite Land completely shattered. Levi's other defensive force fields quickly activated, but they too were broken in succession, finally halted just outside the seven-star Golden Emperor Dragon Barrier.
At ninety percent strength, Levi was forced to rely solely on his physical form to endure the onslaught.
At full power, Levi sustained grievous injuries.
The Netherworld Ancestor released a breath and remarked:
"Your current might likely falls somewhat short of a fully unleashed Chaotic Servant, yet it is undeniably superior to beings like the Mother of All Gods, capable of defeating her."
It's important to note that Levi was only at the Late Stage of Level 10.
Once he achieved the Peak of Level 10, he would undoubtedly possess the capability to contend with a Chaotic Servant.
Should he further enhance certain techniques, such as upgrading the six great divine weapons, the Legendary Wizard Tool, or other supreme treasures, vanquishing the Chaotic Servant would become a distinct possibility.
However, to confront the Supreme Will, advancing to Level 11 would still be a necessity.
Nevertheless, this outcome already defies all expectations. The very idea of a Level 10 cultivator achieving a position among the top five strongest entities in the current universe is nothing short of fantastical.
