Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 3197: 660: Thirty-Six Laws (3)

The might of the Blood Battle Spirit has now escalated beyond Hera, achieving a far greater supremacy. A breakthrough to the mid-stage, once it surpasses level 666, should present no significant hurdles.

The Abyss Will ingeniously designated at least a third of its demonic forces as guardians, establishing a potential fallback should the astral world face ultimate defeat, thereby preserving a chance for resurgence.

It seems to have underestimated the ferocity of the Heavenly Conquest Battlefield, which ensnared it and numerous powerful demons within the astral world, consequently granting the Chaos Emperor unhindered passage.

The present predicament is that without the ability to break free, blocking Levi's advance would be impossible even with a Chaotic Servant's arrival. A mere supreme being would be walking into its own demise.

The Abyss Realm Worm is no longer under control.

Should it carelessly descend into the Abyss, the Star Ancestor would soon be consumed. This would result in the loss of its singular ally, leaving only death as the inevitable outcome. Its sole remaining chance now lies in claiming the Star Ancestor's remains after its fall.

Upon devouring the Star Ancestor, its power will undoubtedly surge.

This surge would then provide the necessary qualifications to contend with the Underworld Source River.

Following a rigorous assessment, remaining on the Supreme Battlefield is its only viable option.

The immense sunk cost leaves no avenue for retreat.

Levi raised his hand, his Sword Qi lancing towards the heavens, rending the very fabric of existence.

His formidable army followed him into the 650th layer.

This stratum was once the dominion of the Fire Demon Lord.

Later, it was claimed by the Wind Demon Lord.

Now, it lies desolate, a vast expanse devoid of inhabitants.

"Sixteen layers remain until we return home," he proclaimed.

Shadows detached themselves, merging seamlessly into the world around them.

...

Thirty years have since elapsed.

Nora Battlefield.

"Annihilate the astral world! Annihilate the astral world!"

Amidst concussive explosions that shook the very foundations of existence, the Fallen Star Lord detonated. Its Demon Claw clamped onto the Dark Emperor with unyielding ferocity, disregarding the divine arts battering its form, refusing to relinquish its grip.

Having endured for centuries, it had reached the Fallen Star Lord's absolute limit. As a mere puppet, it had displayed the zenith of its brilliance and destructive capability; its self-annihilation was a pre-programmed directive from Sauron.

The shockwave from this self-destruction directly struck the Dark Emperor, a supreme deity considered the astral world's ultimate trump card. Its life force rapidly drained away, leaving only its true soul to flee the ensuing chaos.

Hera, transforming into the colossal palm of life and death, seized the fleeing true soul.

Although not the Nether Emperor, she too commanded the Authority of Life and Death.

Helos's true soul had already relinquished all hope of struggle.

Having fought to this precipice, it had effectively lost all hope for the astral world's future. Yet, for a supreme entity such as itself, intimately bound to the astral world, no alternative path existed.

Consequently, the possibility of escape had never crossed its mind.

Helos let out a maniacal laugh, proclaiming:

"One day, all the Gods shall return! The Path of Faith has long been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people; Nora cannot possibly eradicate it completely... The Multidimensional Plane requires the presence of all Gods.

Hera, you shall witness it."

With the fall of this supreme being, its true soul disintegrated, and a torrent of vast spirituality surged upwards into the astral world above. This energy flowed into the Underworld Source River, subtly fortifying the aura of the Supreme Will.

The ascendancy of the astral world had also usurped numerous Authorities that originally belonged to the Underworld. The Star Ancestor proved too formidable, leaving the Underworld Source River powerless against it.

Now, it appears that with both principal and interest, these losses have been reclaimed.

Henceforth.

Following the consecutive downfalls of the Dark Emperor and the Lord of Chaotic Star, only the Lord of Buried Stars remained, struggling against a combined siege at the Nora Battlefield.

Hera collected the Demon Core of the Fallen Star Lord, storing it carefully.

Within it resided the Wisdom Tablet, a legacy from Sauron, the Ancient Star Demon, a being that wielded the power of stars. This artifact contained supreme power that might prove beneficial to Levi.

Having vanquished two supreme entities in succession, Hera, too, was nearing her absolute limit.

She settled into a cross-legged posture, focusing on recuperation and consolidation of her supreme might.

The Lord of Buried Stars unleashed a furious roar towards the heavens.

Its emergence failed to alter the course of the conflict.

On the contrary, it precipitated the ultimate demise of the Abyss.

The momentum of the Star Abyss Alliance had completely dissipated.

Thus, after enduring for another two decades.

The Lord of Buried Stars, expending its final reserves of strength, reluctantly detonated itself under the relentless assault of Hera and a multitude of formidable combatants. Hera swiftly retreated from the battlefield, her expression a complex mixture of emotions.

At the epicenter of the self-destruction.

The Void Dragon, the Power Dragon, the Mind Dragon, the King of Ten Thousand Dragons, and the Star Beast—none managed to escape. Having fought this far, they too had reached the conclusion of their resources.

The surrounding domain was utterly scorched, gradually fading into nothingness.

Caught within the residual ripples of the self-annihilation, the five great beasts were irrevocably erased from existence.

The formidable physique of the Power Dragon endured even after its self-destruction, its essence dissipating and reforming into a hazy Power Rule, vaguely taking the shape of a colossal dragon.

Its gaze rested upon the fractured Dragon Slayer Sword as it mused aloud.

"A truly exceptional sword.

I, Grennass, have faced Heavenly Chopping twice. The first time, alongside the Frost Giant Ancestor, I was defeated and imprisoned, enduring for three hundred thousand years. Later, with the secret aid of Sauron, I approached the supreme sealing and entered hibernation until this very day. This current endeavor, Heavenly Chopping, saw me slay the Lord of Storms, then the Lord of Mountains... even the Gods of the Star Realm retreated at my approach. Now, I have slain a supreme demon; this era holds no regrets for me.

This sword shall remain with Nora.

Given its considerable weight, few in this universe, aside from myself, could wield it effectively in combat. The Chaos Emperor is one such individual. Entrusting it to Nora ensures it will not fall into disuse. The name 'Dragon Slayer' carries a somewhat unfavorable connotation. Perhaps it's better to rename it... 'Star-Slaying'."

The Star-Slaying Sword settled into Hera’s palm.

Sensing its substantial heft, Hera solemnly declared:

"May your journey be smooth. Should fate decree it, perhaps our paths will cross again in some future space-time."

The rules of the Void, Spirit, and Power manifested, as if the great Dao itself had descended, rendering direct observation impossible. The true souls of the three dragons then vanished into the Underworld Source River, disappearing into the currents of existence.

Perhaps, one day, a legendary dragon may rise anew.

However, it will not be any of them.

Unless, like the Time Dragon, one were to merge all Time Dragons from the River of Years' timeline into themselves, becoming a singular, supreme dragon that mirrors antiquity!

The King of Ten Thousand Dragons and the Star Beast also began to fade from view.
