Wizards: Begin Liver Experience with Knight Breathing
Chapter 629: Attack and defense change! (Please vote for me and subscribe)
It was already the 3100th year of the Nora calendar.
The 2988th year of the bloody battle.
After [Chaos Returns to the Abyss], Levi finally developed the second exclusive spell [Hand of the Universe] belonging to the Chaos Emperor profession.
The power of Chaos Returns to the Abyss is very strong.
In a moment, he came to the Chaos Dimension.
Then he released the Twin Dragon Spirits and the Bloody Battle Spirit.
Except for the Blood Dark Dragon Spirit, the rest were all mid-level tenth-level cultivation.
"Not enough."
But the energy gems on Levi's Chaos Crown shone brightly.
"Ninth Talent: Ten Thousand Dragons Born!"
The Chaos Dimension trembled.
First, a piece of broken plane remains stretching for thousands of miles resurrected and turned into an armored giant soldier emitting the momentum of the initial tenth level.
Then, the second, the third...
A total of five giant soldiers transformed from plane remains emerged.
Their faces were dignified, and they said in a deep voice:
"My Lord! What do you want me to do!"
Levi said:
"You five, plus the three over there, attack me."
After the legend, his original strongest spell finally transformed.
The new version of Wanlongsheng has gone beyond the scope of enlightening the spirits of earth, fire, wind and water, and can directly enlighten each world into a spiritual soldier and turn it into a level 10 combat force.
And they are no longer dead summons.
But some kind of planetary life with spirituality.
Because Levi can activate the spirituality of the remaining plane will in the plane debris, let it revive briefly, gain simple spiritual wisdom, and fight for himself.
Of course, the living plane can also be used.
But in that case, it will cause some trouble to the creatures above.
Five spiritual soldiers are not the upper limit of Wanlongsheng.
When his ten rings are complete, he should be able to enlighten more.
"Master, we are on it!"
"Master, be careful!"
"Kill!"
Immediately, eight level 10 combat forces rushed towards Levi.
The scepter in Levi's hand flashed, and the power of chaos flowed in his body. After passing through the legendary spell model constructed in his mind, it lit up his right hand.
One palm, one world!
Levi spread his hand and pressed the void!
The chaotic dimension shook violently.
A hand that covered the sky and the sun, with an innumerable diameter, crossed endless time and space, as if it stretched out from outside the universe, and then fell, submerging the eight level ten spells!
Boom!
In an instant, the vast magic power in Levi's body actually reached the bottom.
At the same time, the eight figures were all suppressed.
The double dragons and the spirit of blood battle were directly wiped out and returned to the city to be reborn.
The five giant soldiers supported for a moment and turned into dust in the void.
Many rare minerals and even the heart of the star spirit were shaken out of it.
Levi put it away easily.
"The power of this palm should be able to challenge the palm of the former Lord of Terror... The hand of the universe, transforming the power of the universe, suppresses everything in time and space!"
Levi even had a feeling.
If his cultivation level is higher, for example, he can step into the Supreme.
His hand can reach out of this universe and into other universes.
Just like the scene simulated by multiple time and space, picking things from other universes.
"But this spell consumes too much energy. With my magic power level, which is almost ten times that of legendary wizards at the same level, I can only cast it once.
For the time being, it can only be used as a big trick at the bottom of the box."
In any case, facing the agent of the Supreme Will.
Levi is more confident.
He thinks it's time to start the Nightmare Expedition.
It has been nearly a thousand years since he reached the tenth level of the Red Emperor Dragon.
Now, Destruction, Diamond, Invisible, and Strong Star are all three stars.
Wuzang and Immortality are two stars.
It is expected that within a hundred years, the Red Emperor Dragon and the Golden Emperor Dragon will both reach the middle stage of the tenth level.
His strength will usher in another qualitative change.
The gap with the Supreme Being is infinitely narrowed.
Nora needs to take the initiative to seek resources and development opportunities.
...
The Supreme Council.
In front of the round table, Levi's figure emerged.
Amon was the first to come in. He asked:
"How is your current cultivation?"
"It should be enough to complete the tenth ring within two thousand years."
"Yes, at that time, you, the agent of the Supreme Will, should not be afraid, and our Nora can also sit firmly in the position of the fifth pole."
After the legend.
130,000 mental power is senior, 170,000 is complete.
According to Amon's standard, after 200,000, there is hope to step into the Supreme.
But after the legend, because the road is very different.
Everyone's situation may be different.
Levi temporarily uses 200,000 as the standard for promotion.
In fact, if possible, he doesn't even want to step into the Supreme realm.
That's too unfree, restricted everywhere.
I always feel that it's not as free as the tenth level realm.
Sometimes, Levi thinks.
If you can skip the eleventh level directly and advance to the twelfth level, it will be great.
At that time, Nora's problems and troubles may not be worth mentioning.
In addition to mental power, the standard for dividing legend senior and complete.
It is still the mastered legendary spells.
Mastering the first original spell of this profession is a ten-ring ordinary spell.
This is not difficult, after all, the condition for entering the legend is the prototype of the ten-ring spell.
After the legend, it will be perfected soon.
Mastering 2 professional spells, and the total number of legendary spells must not be less than 3.
This is a senior legend, such as Levi now.
He mastered [Chaos Return] and [Hand of the Universe], which are spells exclusive to the Chaos Emperor profession, and also mastered 6 non-original and non-professional spells.
To complete the legend, you need to master 3 professional spells.
And the total number of legendary spells must not be less than 9.
If Li Wei masters another professional spell.
Once the spiritual power is passed, the legend will be completed directly.
Before the meeting, Levi and Eamonn discussed the Highest Path.
It didn't take long for others to arrive.
During the hundred years he spent in seclusion, Nora added several more level 10 experts.
First, a new legendary wizard was born in the Burning School.
[Burning Silence Divine Witch·Horn].
He has a bald head, red eyebrows and red beard, and is a bit old.
With his upper body half exposed and his lower body dressed in a red robe, he looked like a body-refining wizard.
Of course, he's a magician.
I just like the fighting style of the Body Refining Wizard.
Therefore, when I was promoted to Legend, I got some inspiration and created the profession [Rage Burning Lord], which can release the powerful Fury Iron Fist!
His legendary demiplane is [Burning Sky Realm]. The legendary honorific is "The flaming fist that breaks the shackles, the fury that annihilates the world".
The legendary witchcraft is also quite special, it is a pair of boxing gloves.
Its name is [Grip of Fury].
The legendary path of Burning Silence Divine Witch is similar to that of the Seven Sins Swordsman.
However, he focused on the path of anger.
This promotion also came from the previous battle.
The Parliament purchased [The Furious Monarch] from the Yuanshi Demon Lord.
He fulfilled the role of Fenji Divine Witch and finally entered the legend.
It was also the first time for Li Wei to see this legendary wizard, so he smiled and said:
"Congratulations to your Excellency for becoming a legend."
Fenji Divine Witch said sincerely:
"Thank you to the Parliament, thank you to the Speaker of the Grand Council."
Without the help of the Parliament, it would be difficult for him to become a legend.
He knew this very well.
Of course, parliament cannot cultivate talents in vain.
This kind of legend who relies on the resources of the parliament for promotion requires absolute loyalty to the parliament, loyalty to Nora and the president of the Grand Council, and serving them.
As a result, the Burning School has three legends.
The number of living legendary wizards has increased to 22.
In addition, there is another Level 10 [Boulder King].
It is a good friend of the Giant Wood King and a rare lone alien strongman.
Previously, in order to avoid the catastrophe of war, he fled outside the pan-plane.
But later it was discovered that Nora seemed to have something that was enough to resist Big Mac.
The Stone King is said to have lived to be twenty-seven thousand years old.
Now we are only at the mid-level tenth level. If we want to reach the later stages, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky.
In order to go further and become the top powerhouse.
Under the persuasion of the Giant Wood King, he finally decided to give it a try.
Anyway, I don’t have a few thousand years left to live.
Levi looked at the last newcomer to Level 10 and smiled.
An emperor shining with colorful light sat there with some restraint.
It is the long-lost Void Emperor!
The leader of the Ethereal Clan.
"I've met the president of the Great Council."
Li Wei nodded slightly and smiled:
"welcome."
The Void Emperor was persuaded by the Worm Lord.
Its original intention is to lead the ethnic group away from worldly disputes.
But I saw that the Worm Master was doing well in Nora and his strength actually improved somewhat.
I felt a little itchy for a while.
In addition, some unimaginable and terrible changes occurred outside the panplane.
It feels that the safest place now is in the panplane.
Therefore, he voluntarily surrendered, joined Nora, and served his crime.
After deliberation, the Supreme Council also tolerated it and did not embarrass it.
In special times, Nola is in urgent need of talents.
Of course, the Emperor of the Void could not help but swear in front of the round table to prevent the second or fifth son.
At this point, Nora reached the 67th level as a level 10 expert.
Including the Void Temple, the total number is 80.
Today, growth from the dividends of previous wars has slowed.
After the number of Grand Wizards increased to 360, the speed slowed down significantly.
The ninth level of the alien race also reaches the bottleneck after 630.
There are not many strong foreigners who are still waiting and watching.
Therefore, if you want to quickly increase your strength, you must expand externally.
Obtain more resources and give birth to strong local players in Nola.
Today, on the occasion of the centenary conference.
Li Wei called everyone together to discuss the matter.
In front of the round table, in addition to the 67 powerful men of the Supreme Council and the representative of the Void Temple [Star Sword Master], there were also some people who also participated in the meeting.
One is Herman, who has a special status and enjoys supreme treatment.
After hundreds of years of growth, his strength has grown even further.
This means that the duration and intensity of [Deus Ex Machina] are increased.
He seems to be a single person, but he can also exert the power of more than a dozen Level 10s. Now that Skynet cannot be extended to Nightmare, it is more suitable for tower defense defenders.
During the expedition, the Mechanical School was the core force protecting Nora.
There are also several non-level ten participants, all leaders of important civilizations. For example, [Star Tearer], a late-level ninth-level practitioner, is a representative of the Seven Color Scale Clan.
After everyone gathered together, Li Wei said:
"In this conference, we have only one topic: Expedition to the Nightmare! After more than seven hundred years of dormancy and development, Nora has reached a new bottleneck period.
If the current growth rate continues, maybe in thousands of years or tens of thousands of years, we will have hundreds of level 10 powerhouses, nearly 2,000 level 9 powerhouses, and the size of the Big Mac will further shrink... But we don't. So much time.
I worry that the Astral Plane will be freed from the scourge of the buggers, freeing up its hands to deal with Nora. Because our growth has seriously threatened its dominance.
So, we can't just follow the routine. We have to take the unexpected and take an unusual path. Expedition to Nightmare is the first step of the plan!
You can tell us about the preparations of each department.
Let's discuss the time of action and specific strategies. "
Hearing this, the strong men showed excitement or nervousness.
Hermann said:
"At present, Skynet has achieved full coverage of Nora's 113,216 new continents. I can mechanically descend 15 mechanical gods to bless Nora at the same time. In addition, the mechanical school worked overtime to develop 108 [Nora Guards] with level nine strength to guard important facilities and nodes and support the battlefield. We now have more than 3,000 star fortresses of various levels, including 24 mother fortresses with level 9 star destroyers..."
Hearing Hermann's report, many strong men showed admiration.
In terms of individual strongmen, the mechanical school may not be as good as some civilizations
But in terms of efficiency and collective combat, these integrated mechanical creations are far better than conventional battle groups, and even if they are lost, they will not cause casualties.
They can be mass-produced quickly.
Levi said:
"Okay, I believe that with the protection of the mechanical school, Nora will be as solid as a rock."
Daydreamer said:
"The treasure Dream Cycle has also gone a step further. As a top treasure, it can simultaneously divide into 180,000 clones and carry out rescue operations in various places through the dream network. If Nora's situation is not so urgent, I can also go to Nightmare to support the battlefield."
Vick said:
"As for the dark side of Nora, I and the four shadow monarchs guarding Roger Mountain are enough to ensure that the enemy dare not attack from here. Everyone can go to the front line with confidence."
Levi said:
"Well, the first priority is still to protect Nora. If there is an emergency, I will force some people to go offline to protect Nora.
If not, everyone should be prepared to fight for a long time in the nightmare world. Don't ignore your own life just because you are immortal. After all, the transition period between going offline and going online will waste a lot of time and miss the opportunity to fight. "
The Lord of the Earth and the Lord of the Green Forest looked at each other and said in unison:
"President of the Great Council, then we two will be responsible for guarding the core of Nora's will. Prevent other monsters from taking advantage of the situation."
Levi said:
"Okay, the two treasures that the Council asked Master Baolong to tailor for you have also arrived, namely [Sacred Shield of the Earth] and [Forest Barrier]. They are all exquisite treasures, and when used with two legendary magic weapons, they can resist top powerhouses.
In critical moments, ask Nora's will for help. Don't worry too much about it, Nora's will is not that fragile, you should run away when you should. "
The two legendary wizards sighed slightly.
They knew that the speaker of the Great Council was still regretting the survivors of the sea.
Some important deployments were discussed.
Levi looked at Amon and said:
"During the period when I preside over the Nightmare War, Nora still depends on you."
Amon said:
"Don't worry, I wish us a happy cooperation."
Levi stood up and said with high spirits:
"The meeting is adjourned, and the era of Nora's counterattack begins!"
...
With the order of the Supreme Council. In just a few days, the Nora machine started to run at high speed and entered a wartime state. The news reached Nightmare.
The three emperors of ignorance, disaster, and death gathered.
"Looking at Nora's posture, is he trying to invade us actively?"
"Humph! It's really arrogant!"
"Our Nightmare has existed for so long, and this is the first time that we have been underestimated."
"Gather the army and start patrolling all over Nightmare. Once we find foreigners coming from Nora, we will kill them all and show them what a real nightmare is! "
...
One month later.
The Black Dragon Territory, this place has long been abandoned.
Only three overlords were left here to prevent Nora from invading. They looked like sloths, with round and bloated bodies, lying on the ground and sleeping soundly.
They are the [Three Brothers of Sloth], subordinates of the [Demon Lord of Sloth]. God knows why Nightmare wants to guard such overlords here.
Suddenly, the Flesh and Blood Realm Mountain trembled.
The lord's mark that had disappeared before quietly emerged again.
The lords under the three overlords were awakened, and they looked up at the sky.
A black dragon with a length of thousands of miles and covering the sky tore open the red and black curtain, broke into the nightmare world with an arrogant attitude, and swept the dragon's eyes.
The dragon's might swept the Black Dragon Territory.
In an instant, all the nightmare creatures in the Black Dragon Territory either fainted or exploded.
The overlord was awakened and terrified.
"What the hell is this?"
"It seems to be the Lord of the Dusk Palace! Quick, report to the Demon Lord! "
There is a sun across the sky, and a dragon is born in the sun.
The dragon fell to the ground and turned into a figure in armor that was ten thousand feet tall.
The Fire Dragon Knight swung the giant sword and activated the "Fire Dragon Huangji Canon"!
A big sun-shaped sword light that tore through the void rotated.
Three overlords, one died instantly!
The other two were frightened and fled in panic.
But they saw a figure like a beast and as strong as an ox holding a giant sword and slashing.
Behemoth's trampling!
The giant sword knocked a overlord into the ground.
"Ape King Falls Pillar!"
A thick and sturdy divine pillar that was a full ten thousand feet high fell.
On the top of the pillar was a golden red-eyed giant ape.
He was drunk and ferocious!
The divine pillar fell and smashed the overlord like mashing garlic.
"This divine weapon forged by [Iron True Wood] for 300,000 years is really useful."
Emperor Mu put away the giant pillar and stretched his muscles.
On the other side of the battlefield.
The Golden Lion Knight held the Lion King's giant sword in his hand, wearing the Lion Heart Armor, and the mighty Yuanshen behind him followed him like a shadow, bursting out with a mighty force.
The elegant sword light of the Blood Knight of the ninth level fell.
The strongest boss of the three lazy brothers also died.
"I eat, I eat, I eat eat eat!"
Lyon shouted the slogan and devoured the true spirit everywhere.
Just like Jerry entered the cheese, it brought some fun to the battlefield.
Teams of fully armed extreme warriors descended.
The armor they wore was already the 30th generation, advanced enough to allow every knight to exert the combat power like a genius.
The majestic voice of the Fire Dragon Knight resounded throughout the battlefield.
"Kill them all, don't leave a single one!"
In a flash, the autumn wind rolled up the fallen leaves.
The nightmare creatures stationed in the Black Dragon Territory were killed.
At the same time, the black light on the body of the sky-covering black dragon spread out, and finally formed a giant crystal covering a million miles, covering the Black Dragon Territory.
After doing all this, he transformed into Levi.
Levi fell to the ground, and the Fire Dragon Knight reported:
"Except for a small part, all other nightmare creatures were destroyed."
Levi said to the person in charge of the 18 riders:
"It doesn't matter, they can't escape from my [Nightmare Emperor Realm]. Any perception that is not the Supreme cannot penetrate into this realm.
If the Supreme descends, I will sense it. Everyone will use this as a base and expand outward according to the plan. Every time a territory is conquered, I will scatter a piece of my [Nightmare Emperor Dragon Scale]. I will take away everything that belongs to the nightmare!
In addition, if you find the trace of the Twilight Demon King, don't fight it head-on. Report to me in time, and I will personally take action and capture it alive."
The knights obeyed and started to act immediately.
The Ancient Dragon Continent is adjacent to the Sauron Continent.
From past experience, its defense is too saturated.
Therefore, Levi brought all those who have been promoted to level nine among the 18 riders in this battle.
Those who have not yet reached level nine will stay in the organization and seize the time to practice and break through.
This battle will be a test of the achievements of the 3,000 years of development of the Temple of Dusk.
The knights will charge first!
Then, military facilities began to spring up in the Black Dragon Territory.
400 Nora regiments gathered here.
Time passed, day by day.
Buzz! Six burly figures emerged, with shocked expressions.
"Is this the nightmare world?"
The six barbarian lords descended, guarded by the will of heaven.
Following closely, the four giant kings of earth, fire, wind and water, Lei Kai, descended.
The Thousand-Eyed Swordsman was at the critical moment of breakthrough and stayed behind.
The beastmaster civilization, alien warriors, and the legendary wizards who made a heavy appearance all descended, and they looked at the world outside the black barrier.
Ms. Thunder said:
"Nora has finally waited for this day!"
The Queen of the Wind grinned and said:
"My wind is eager to kill!"
For this invasion, Nora left 27 level 10 warriors to guard.
Including top powerhouses like the Frost Witch and the Spiritual Lord.
In addition, the Underworld is Nora's ally.
If they encounter invasions from the Abyss or Nightmare, they will also provide assistance.
39 Level 10s led by the Chaos Emperor himself.
A 40-man expeditionary force, with each army lord commanding 10 legions.
In addition, there is the Nightmare Creature Legion cultivated by Levi in the early days.
They also returned from the Daydreamer's demiplane to participate in the battle.
Led by the Khorne Overlord of the middle level of the ninth level.
Next, Nora's 40 army lords will start from the most familiar Black Dragon Territory, step by step penetrate and erode the Nightmare, disintegrate the enemy, and turn it into our own use!
Wait until the entire army is assembled.
Li Wei raised the sword of victory and solemnly declared:
"This is the fourth millennium of Nora!"
"Everyone, show your courage!"
"From today on, we will face the nightmare!"
"Revenge for the millions of compatriots who died in the nightmare invasion!"
"Nora, always move forward!"
Inspired by the sword of victory, countless soldiers were filled with excitement,
"For Nora!"
"Flatten the nightmare!"
...
Nora calendar 3100 years, bloody battle 2888 years.
The history book ushered in the most important chapter since the end of the ancient era.
Nora civilization openly declared war on the eternal giant nightmare world!
The army rushed to the front line and took over the Pale Domain within a week.
The black dragon flag was planted on the top of the flesh and blood world mountain, fluttering.
The news spread to the outside world, and the multidimensional plane was shaken.
Throughout the ages, there have been many people who have tried to challenge the authority of the giant.
But they all failed and turned into blood food for the star world.
Now, Nora enters the game from Nightmare.
Do you think that the Nightmare world is a soft persimmon?
…
"Damn it! Damn it! This is a naked insult!"
Soon after the war started, the Lord of Terror was forcibly awakened. It woke up from the deep earth and stood in the center of the world with a height of one million miles.
A pair of evil eyes pierced through the endless void and looked at the borderland in the west of the Nightmare world, where a black barrier appeared out of nowhere.
It seemed like a tumor growing on the land of Nightmare.
At the top of the barrier, a black-armored swordsman stood like a monument.
He raised his golden eyes, as if sensing the terrifying gaze.
Then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, confident and domineering!
"Those who try to take away my Nightmare power shall be killed!"
The terrifying momentum is like a pillar, breaking through the Nightmare sky.
The Lord of Terror strides into the void, rushing west to fight the Emperor of Chaos.
"A mere tenth level, dare to challenge the supreme authority!"
Halfway through, three figures stopped in front of him.
"Master Terror, this is not possible."
The Three Emperors appeared and quickly advised.
The Lord of Terror said angrily:
"What's wrong? I can't beat a junior?"
The Disaster Monarch bit the bullet and said:
"Calm down, sir!
You think, if Nora dares to invade the nightmare so blatantly, she must be relying on someone, maybe she is working with Hades, Eamon or even the remnants of other eras to set up a trap.
Just to deal with you!
At such a critical juncture, if you have three advantages and two disadvantages, how should we deal with the other three parties? Nora is not what she used to be and cannot be underestimated. "
The Lord of Death also said:
"Yes, sir, we have gathered many monarchs from all over the world. Let us test it out first before making any plans."
The ignorant monarch said:
"Sir, if something happens to you, who will protect the sleeping supreme will?"
The Lord of Terror calmed down.
It said:
"Quick, gather the army immediately and wipe out the Black Dragon Territory! Otherwise, let Nora's snowball roll. When the Supreme Will awakens, we will not be able to withstand its wrath!"
Ever since.
The Lord of Terror has issued a compulsory recruitment order throughout the land.
Except for the more than a hundred guards guarding the Flesh Palace, the center of nightmares.
All other monarchs gather in the disaster area!
In the nightmare world, a storm is coming.
The Lord of Terror sat high on his throne and waited.
It thought that when it gave an order, the three hundred monarchs would respond quickly.
As a result, half a year later, a piece of news that made it angry came.
[Report! The 12 powerful men, including the Soul Monarch and the Dream Monarch, all disappeared from their respective territories without a trace. The Soul Lord joins the underworld! Become the 12th Hades Emperor! 】
The Lord of Terror looked at the list of people who had escaped from battle and was trembling with anger!
They are all a bunch of unfamiliar foreign dogs!
It even suspected that the Soul Monarchs were spies of the underworld from the beginning.
Damn it, this woman Ming Zu has a very evil heart!
This makes an already bad nightmare situation worse.
…
Time flies.
Ten years later.
More than two hundred monarchs rushed to the disaster area.
Many monarchs were bleary-eyed, apparently just waking up from a deep sleep.
Their long lifespan and giant status make their lives extremely comfortable.
Except for an insignificant friction with the star realm every era.
It is simply impossible for a large-scale war to occur in the nightmare territory.
"What happened?"
"I don't know. It seems like there's going to be a war."
"Ah? Fighting? Fighting with the star realm?"
"No, with Nora."
"Nora? What kind of remote place? I've never heard of it."
"Sauron, the ancestor of wizards, was born three hundred thousand years ago. Do you have an impression?"
"Oh I got it."
None of these monarchs seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem.
The Lord of Terror was so angry that he wanted to slap them all to death.
It said coldly:
"Listen to me all! Now, a coalition of civilizations from multiple dimensions, led by the wizard civilization, is attacking my nightmare with extremely arrogant arrogance!
Nora is now as strong as a cloud, and her size is comparable to a quasi-Big Mac. No one should be careless! Next, follow my instructions and strive to capture Nora within a thousand years! "
Correct typos first and then correct them.
