Chapter 560 Rescue Level 10! Green Emperor Dragon! (Big chapter, please give me a monthly pass and subscribe.)
The black-haired young man left.
He declined an invitation to join the High Council Seat.
He said there were other things to resolve.
But if we fight the abyss, he will come.
Amon and others return to the Supreme Council.
In front of the round table, the Frost Witch asked:
“This Yuanshi Demon Lord contains a demonic aura. Will he be affected by the will of the abyss? If he cooperates with him, he may be seeking the skin of a tiger..”
Mr. Yin also expressed concerns about this.
“This person is a little weird, and I can't figure it out. After all, there are some differences between him and the Hunyuan Holy Emperor... We still have to be careful when dealing with him..”
Eamon nodded slightly..
“I had these worries before, but before contacting [Xuan], the Hunyuan Holy Emperor had already contacted me. After communicating with him, I felt that cooperation would not be a big problem. If he is really possible in the future If they become a danger to Nora, then kill them.”
Ms. Thunder said: "Having said that, the potential of this Primordial Demon Lord is a bit scary. He controls all the schools of airbending. He can backfire the fire demon tyrant Casas when he first reaches the tenth level. If he grows up, in our Supreme Council, Among them, there may not be many who can win steadily..”
Daydreamer smiles.
“I don’t think there’s any need to be so panicked. The Yuanshi Demon Lord doesn’t seem to be interested in the interest disputes in our world. Based on my observation through magic, what he said is true... Moreover, there are many factions on our side of Nora. A cultivator, even a knight and a wizard. I believe that with Li Wei's ability, he will be able to suppress this person in the years to come..”
After hearing Li Wei, everyone nodded slightly..
“That's true.”
emon road:
“Don't worry, everyone, there will be no problem with this matter. Our top priority now is to unite more level 10 forces to fight against the abyss. As time goes by, the situation becomes more and more favorable to us. We must grasp this situation. For a period of time, win more allies. When the right time comes, the counterattack into the abyss will begin..”
He said again:
“Next, there is another friend who is about to reach level 10. If nothing else happens, he will be the first alien strongman in the Supreme Council... But it has encountered some small troubles. Daydreamer and I may leave Nora for a while. , during this period, please keep an eye on Nora.!”
“Who is it? Ms. Thunder asked.
“Blue Dream Star Lord, the president of the Blue Agate Chamber of Commerce, entered the tenth level thousands of years ago, but had some minor accidents and was trapped in the dream of a powerful god in the star world. Not long ago, it passed the secret method of blood to the The younger generation who stayed in the outside world asked for help in their dreams. After research and analysis with the daydreamer, I felt that this matter was true, so I planned to go there..”
Eamon looked calm and had no fear of confronting a powerful god..
the daydreamer laughed.:
“I have done some research on dreams, and have had similar experiences to Blue Dream Star Master, so I will also participate in this operation. Moreover, I am also somewhat interested in the famous [Dream Lady], and I just happened to see it this time..”
According to the "Star Boundary Illustrated Book" of the witchcraft world,.
Lady of Dreams Shireen.
Living in the kingdoms of Qianqiu, the Kingdom of God is located behind the "Gate of Sweet Dreams".
He is a powerful being.
Its divine power involves dreams, illusions, sleep, etc..
Under his command, there are also a group of followers of God.
Among them is a relatively famous medium-powerful person.
God of Sleep and Dreams, Hypnost.
And this one is now sleeping in the lost monarch's body.
Most people avoid dreams.
This kind of ability seems to be less devastating than abilities such as fire and thunder..
Actually more terrifying.
So much so that when many people discover it, they are already deeply trapped in a dream and unable to extricate themselves..
Daydreamers know it all.
The best way to eliminate fear is to face it.
Sooner or later, he will have to have a new game with the lost monarch..
It’s also a good thing to fight a powerful god in advance and get a feel for it..
After all, Eamon is there to support each other..
The two of them work together to shake almost all existences in multiple planes..
In addition, there is a terrifying being among the demons who is also good at dreaming..
Eternal Sleep·Celestia.
The lord of the 657th floor of the abyss.
It's also Nora's potential enemy.
Not participating in the bloody battle now does not mean that you will never participate.
“Be careful, Nola, don’t worry, we will guard this place and wait for your triumphant return! "The Frost Witch said.
Over the years, for total war.
Eamon runs around with a group of legendary wizards.
It's all to attract more allies..
All legendary wizards believe.
A bloody battle can certainly be overcome.
Because they have a powerful and reliable parliament speaker.
As the legendary honorific says:
The eternal flame, the sun that never sets!
He has a heart that can heat up the entire universe!
……
Above the nine heavens, beautiful buildings and jade buildings.
The old bear man held a whisk in his hand and looked down at.
A figure came slowly, with hands behind its back.
Black hair flowing, free and easy.
Come, Yuanshi Demon Lord Xuan.
He came to a strange place that only the sixth level of airbenders could set foot on..
Hunyuan Shenghuangdao:
“Sauron is right, our path is not very consistent with this universe, but going to other universes is not easy..”
The black-haired young man said:
“You have to give it a try. Do you remember that Sauron once described the myth of the other world? There are gods and Buddhas in the sky, and there is a brilliant way of heaven. I think that is the home of the airbenders. Here, just by setting foot on the tenth level , it will require countless years of planning on our part..
But if you want to go higher, it is already impossible. Reaching the realm of self-love is already the end. The seventh realm of Qi Zong is here, and there is no way to move forward no matter what. The Tao and Fruit we seek are not in this world. Here, the road is lonely and desolate, and there are no other companions around..”
Hunyuan Shenghuangdao:
“But those things Sauron talked about are just myths..”
The black-haired young man laughed.:
“Are we not living in a myth??”
He turned around and left, his figure gradually disappearing, only his confident voice came.:
“This world is too boring for me who is out of place... I will find the path that belongs to the airbenders. No matter where the road is, no matter how many cross paths there are, I will find it.!”
……
blue agate star.
Two unremarkable figures quietly arrived.
It's Eamon and the Daydreamer.
“Mr. Froude, please invade the dream of Mrs. Dream and send me in." Eamon looked at the sky and said calmly..
The day dreamer nodded.:
“Falling into a dream is a very dangerous behavior. Please be careful, President of the Great Council. The strength of the lady in the dream may be slightly inferior to that of the lost monarch, but she is definitely not easy to mess with. We still put our own safety first..”
emon road:
“Don't worry, I know it well.”
Daydreamer closes his eyes.
His hands change, like butterflies flying.
A colorful butterfly emerges from behind him.
Immediately after, there were two, three... ten thousand, millions, billions.
Countless butterflies surround the starry sky, forming an unimaginable colorful storm.
This scene is extremely shocking and unforgettable.
I don’t know how long it will take.
The butterflies began to become disillusioned one by one.
In the end, only one butterfly turned back and floated in the palm of the daydreamer.
He opened his eyes and exhaled thick breath.
“Found it, are you ready??”
Eamonn nodded..
“Let's get started.”
The butterfly suddenly turned into colorful mist, forming a vortex channel.
The daydreamer made a gesture of invitation and solemnly said:
“Please dream!”
Eamon took a deep breath, waved his sleeves and stepped into it..
When he opened his eyes, it was a blue and clear world.
Blue sky, white clouds, golden fields.
The river flows and the windmill spins.
All this is so harmonious and beautiful.
No murderous intent or danger at all.
The small wooden house by the river stands quietly.
Eamon stepped forward with calm eyes..
In the wooden house, a distinctive-looking, male-female figure in blue robe is cooking..
“Blue Dream Star Lord?”
“Who are you?”
“You asked me to save you.”
“ah? Yeah?”
Seeing the confused expression of the figure in blue robe.
Eamonn just stood silently.
Not long after, a peasant woman came here carrying clothes from the river..
“Who are you? Why are you coming to my house??”
She looked at Eamonn warily.
Eamonn asked: "Are you the dream lady?"?”
“What dream lady? You get out of here quickly, or I'll go to the village and call someone." The peasant woman's expression didn't seem to be fake..
Seeing this, Eamonn stopped talking nonsense..
He pressed lightly towards the void.
Then billions of flames spewed out, and ripples of high-temperature heat waves swept across.
boom!
The world of blue sky and white clouds is shattered layer by layer.
Hidden beneath the beautiful appearance.
It's a scene like purgatory.
The wheat in the golden fields turned into numb, ragged people.
They are bound by chains hanging from nothingness..
They seemed to be having a sweet dream, with happy smiles on their faces.
I have no idea that I have been harvested one after another.
A giant blue figure reaching the sky and the earth is trapped in the giant pillar.
Countless golden chains were inserted into it, binding it.
The innocent peasant woman just now transformed into a tall and thin figure with vaguely female features but a ferocious face. It was lying on the blue giant, sucking something..
The sky is shattered like a mirror.
A giant woman's face appeared, cold and heartless, with a strange face, eight closed eyes, and eight hands covering her eyes. Her flaming red lips opened and she said in a cold voice.:
“Eamon, how dare you enter my dream? I really don’t know whether to live or die!”
Eamon put his hands behind his back and asked with a smile.:
“Dream Lady Sireen, why do you want to imprison Blue Dream Star Lord??”
“Because he broke into my dream.”
“Then if I come in too, won’t I also be imprisoned by you??”
“Huh, that's how it should be, but I'm in a good mood, so I won't keep you today. Just leave. If it happens again, you will end up like the Blue Dream Star Master..”
“I have no intention of making an enemy of the beautiful Madam, but this Blue Dream Star Master is my friend. I want to take it away, but I hope Madam will be more open minded..”
“dream!”
“I am indeed in a dream.”
“……God's patience has its limits. Nora is currently facing a bloody battle. If I start a war with you, can you handle it??”
“I just took away someone who is insignificant to you. You will not start a war with me. Because war will kill people...including gods! Madam, as a powerful god, you may have existed from ancient times or even ancient times. Are you willing to have your life taken away by a mortal who only lived for more than 10,000 years using Sauron's Great Disintegration Technique? Erase you from the history books of time? Let your followers completely forget you and never resurrect you? Are you willing? lady.”
“you are threatening me.”
“I am just objectively stating what may happen after we go to war. As you can see, since the end of the ancient era, we wizards have tried our best to avoid conflicts with you. We believe that, unlike the chaotic abyss demons, gods can communicate , we have no direct conflict of interest, we can coexist, you spread your beliefs, and I study my magic. In fact, if it were not for the protection of the star realm, I don’t know how many living beings would be devoured by demons. We all understand this. .I also hope that Madam can be noble and allow me to take this friend away..”
Eamon said calmly.
The lady in the dream listened silently.
I don’t know how long it will take.
He suddenly said:
“Okay, you can take it away, but I hope you can remember that today, I, Shirelin, have helped you once. Otherwise, even if your legendary wizard masters the lysis technique, I can make Nora bleed into a river and make it difficult for you. The stable bloody battle situation has since become unbalanced. Eamon, I am indeed afraid of death and being forgotten. But the power of the star realm is far beyond the imagination of your wizards. I hope that when your ambitions are too inflated in the future, you can think of my success today..”
The next moment, all the golden chains on the giant pillar collapsed..
The momentum of the blue giant gradually exploded.
Finally restored his tenth level appearance.
It opened its eyes, looked at Eamon, and said thanks:
“Thank you, Mr. Eamon.”
Eamon said: "You should also thank Mrs. Shirling. In this world, weakness is a sin. Try to become stronger, Mr. Lanmeng.".”
The blue giant looked at the giant face high in the sky with lingering fear..
“No matter what, I have enjoyed a thousand years of... sweet dreams here. Thank you, Madam, for your long companionship during this period of time..”
The lady in the dream snorted coldly..
“Let's go.”
The figures of Eamon and Blue Dream Star Master slowly dissipated..
They emerged from deep space and saw the pale daydreamer.
Lord Blue Dream said: "Thank you Mr. Froude..”
“You're welcome, it's best if it can be resolved peacefully.”
Daydreamer breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
He's ready for a big fight.
Sure enough, it would have to be the Speaker of the Great Council himself..
Eamon said: "Let's go, your two heirs are already in Nora, and the Blue God Clan has already moved in. We are waiting for you, the leader, to return. We want to build a multi-dimensional super unified market. No help from you.”
Blue Dream Star Master also has some expectations.
“It's really an interesting time.”
……
five years later.
Nora calendar year 1487.
Bloody Battle 1375.
Ancient banyan wonderland.
Levi is researching new sequence spells.
He has pioneered the light and metamagnetic sequences.
Next, is the metal sequence.
The current metal faction is somewhat declining.
Except for some great wizards, there are no legendary powerhouses.
Of course, things have gotten much better since the emergence of the Secret Sword Style..
The number of Yuanhun wizards has also been growing rapidly in recent years..
But it will take some time to compete with other elemental factions.
Levi intends to add fuel to its development.
Come up with a cool and practical sequence spell.
He couldn't help but think of the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect" in his previous life.》.
Over the years, he has mastered all the spells before the sixth ring..
The name highlights a simple.
One-ring spell "Sword One"》.
Urges a golden elemental sword energy to carry out precise strikes at medium and long distances.
Second Ring Spell "Ten of Swords"》.
Ten sword energies are more powerful.
and so on.
The sixth ring spell is "Sword One Hundred Thousand"》.
The nine-ring spell is "Jian Yi"》.
In one thought, 100 million extremely sharp golden elemental sword energy struck overwhelmingly..
Highlight a handsome person and be unparalleled in killing.
Of course, it will take some time to reach the ninth ring..
After finishing his practice, Li Wei came to Gu Rongyou Mansion.
On the roots of the dead soul tree, more and more new shoots are sprouting, and the growth is gratifying..
Everywhere you look, there are dead souls.
The Three Musketeers of the Undead and the heroic spirits from the Hall of Valor are training the undead soldiers..
This is also a hidden army that can be thrown into the battlefield at any time.
As cannon fodder, consuming the devil's vitality.
Under the ancient banyan tree, a round-faced girl and others are playing mahjong..
Ah Ya is watching from the sidelines.
It has almost been nourished by Li Wei now..
He is barely at the ninth level. Although his combat power is weak, when he encounters a real ninth level, he can defeat even the weakest fish demon..
But, regarding the ability to escape.
Ah Ya is still very strong.
It can be said that now it.
In multiple planes, as long as you don’t seek death.
There's basically no chance of getting caught.
The problem is, this guy became lazy after meeting the round-faced girl..
It’s been such a long time, I’ve been staying at home and not traveling..
Became a two-dimensional house crow.
“Ah Ya, it’s time for you to go!”
Levi urged, as annoying as a parent during the summer vacation.
Ah Ya expressed grievance.
Why can everyone else enjoy the blessings in Gurong Wonderland?.
I'm the only one who has to wander in the dark place day and night.
It looks at the round-faced girl.
I found that the other party was playing mahjong and had no intention of accompanying me..
hateful!
You are all so heartless!
In this case, I'm going to go further this time.
You'd better not miss me, Ah Ya!
“quack quack!”
Ah Ya was filled with resentment, flapped her wings, and left the ancient banyan fairyland..
run away from home!
Let you know that this family cannot survive without me!
“Goodbye Ah Ya, I will miss you.”
The round-faced girl shouted while playing mahjong.
Levi muttered to himself.
“Am I considered a strict father??”
I don’t want to think about it anymore. He is good to Ah Ya anyway..
Children must go through hardships and setbacks in order to grow!
I walked around the ancient banyan wonderland and picked a batch of rusty fruits and other natural and earthly treasures..
Li Wei came to Gulong Continent and sent him to the organization's treasure house.
suddenly.
Over there at Starfire Wizard Academy.
There is a large-scale fluctuation of elemental power coming from.
Li Wei's eyes were shocked and he showed a slightly surprised smile..
The man who always breaks through when the limit is reached.
Once again stuck before the deadline, he broke through the eight environmental boundaries.
Black Pearl Boy Garcia!
Damn, absolutely!
I don’t admire Li Weilian’s legendary reincarnation.
Just admire him!
What kind of strong psychology and micro-management is required to achieve this just right.
Arrive at Starfire Wizard Academy.
Vice President Garcia has been promoted.
Levi smiled.:
“We are very happy to congratulate the birth of another eight-ring wizard in Gulong Continent..”
Garcia smiled slightly bitterly.:
“My talent has come to an end at this point. If I want to go further, I'm afraid there is no hope. Moreover, if our organization's treasure house is not rich in rare items, I have collected the Sea Emperor sequence in advance and refined many heavenly materials. Baby, I want all eight rings to be dangling.”
Li Wei smiled and said: "Vice dean, there is no need to belittle yourself. When you were in the sixth and seventh rings, you said that you were afraid of stopping here, but in the end, you were promoted smoothly? Just work hard. With us, With the conditions of Gulong Continent and your great perseverance, there is still hope for further progress. Times have changed..”
If it were before.
Garcia is indeed the end of the eighth ring..
He is now only over 1,200 years old before his end..
With his talent, even after refining the Water King and Poseidon sequences,.
Nine Rings is totally useless too.
Even if you have refined the Water God Sequence now, it will still be difficult.
Because it's a little late.
But today is different from the past.
The emergence of the Millennium Potion is good news for people like Garcia.
After extending life for a thousand years, more than two thousand years.
During this period, continue to strive for the Water God Sequence.
With Garcia's great perseverance and Black Pearl Boy's luck,.
There is still hope for promotion to the ninth ring despite the deadline, and we can continue to create miracles..
As for the legend, objectively speaking... there is no chance..
But for Garcia.
The once inconspicuous market boy.
Able to become a great wizard at the demigod level.
It is already more legendary than the legendary wizard.
I heard that Vice President Bahuan.
The teachers and students of Spark Wizard Academy were very happy.
Among the three major wizard organizations in the Ancient Dragon Continent.
Their overall strength is the weakest.
But now, I also have my own eight rings.
Everything is getting better.
Joining Gulong Continent was undoubtedly the most correct choice made by teachers and students.!
Not long after, the three major media outlets, "Nola Daily", "Solon Daily", and "Blood War Daily", all reported on the Black Pearl Boy's miraculous promotion..
for a while.
This ordinary wizard with average talent, but relying on great perseverance to reach the eighth ring step by step, has become a typical example of "Norah Dream" in the minds of more people..
In comparison, the Lord of Twilight Hall and the Supernovas are too far away from everyone..
On the contrary, Black Pearl Boy is more likely to arouse the empathy of middle- and lower-class wizards..
The Council of Nora needs a figure like this to serve as an example to inspire others.
In fact, can it reach the eighth ring? How can he be an ordinary person?.
But these are not important.
Importantly, as the Speaker of the Assembly said:
“This is an era full of miracles. From the bright stars to the grass and trees on the roadside, everyone has the opportunity to create your own miracle! Nora, never stop!”
……
a month later.
Levi put down his research work and looked at the freshly minted newspaper..
On the Tower of Babel, Eamon, wearing a red flame robe, announced with a smile:
“The leader of the Blue God Clan, Lord Blue Dream Star, officially joined the Supreme Council and became the seventeenth seat. From then on, he will be mainly responsible for the affairs of the Pandimensional Chamber of Commerce. More powerful people from all races who are interested in the cause of Great Nora are welcome to join the Supreme Council and work together. Build a perfect world!”
This is the first level 10 alien warrior.
Although the previous Gray Eagle Dharma Gods were from different civilizations, they were all human beings..
He is also a spell caster, so the gap is very small..
Therefore, it is of great significance for Blue Dream Star Lord to join.
Eamon personally saving people shows that he attaches great importance to.
Take Blue Dream Star Lord as a model.
The attitude of the Nora Council has been made clear.
In the coming years, we will definitely be able to attract more level 10 experts to visit us..
In one fell swoop, the Blue God Clan became a group of people with a pivotal position in Nora..
In addition, the Green Lins, White Lins, and the Green Lins brought back by the Star Ripper not long ago are all ethnic groups with high status..
Especially the White Dragon Princess Nanate, the wife of the Blue Bird Knight.
Its talent, if compared to a wizard.
Better than Supernova.
There is hope of reaching level ten.
It is foreseeable.
In the distant future, the human race will no longer be the only one.
Instead, all races in Nora are blooming and a hundred flowers are blooming.!
……
a month later.
Levi was called to the bloody battle headquarters by Ms. Lucy.
“Madam, what's the matter??”
“The Supreme Council asked me to distribute the reward to you.”
“ah?”
“You forgot that some time ago, you acted as a bait, risking your own life to lure the Star Greedy Insect into the encirclement, causing the demon camp to lose another general.!”
“This matter, to be honest, I didn’t contribute much, I was just a fan.”
“There is no need to be modest. With the methods of the Greedy Star Insect, it would be very difficult to kill it if it weren't for you... Unfortunately, such a move can only be used once. The devil has learned it well, and fishing and law enforcement will not be possible if you continue like this. Well. Anyway, take this thing..”
Ms. Lucy handed over a box.
Levi already knew what it was.
The blood crystal of the Greedy Star Insect!
“Thank you madam, thank you to the Supreme Council!”
Li Wei solemnly accepted it.
Can my own knight achieve today's achievements?.
It’s not just my own efforts and the power of the panel..
There are also these legendary wizard predecessors, including Sauron’s care.
They are like a relay, paving the way for Li Wei's promotion..
The difficulty of promoting him to Super Myth has been reduced countless times..
Otherwise, it's all up to him to collect it himself.
I'm afraid wizards are legendary.
The Cavaliers cannot all be super mythical.
Li Wei will remember all these kindnesses in his heart..
Wait until you reach level 10 and repay him harshly.!
He wants to kill the devil like crazy!
“Go back, the devil has lost another general, and he will definitely take revenge. You should be careful and become stronger quickly." The lady said softly..
“Okay, ladies, take care and get some rest..”
Farewell to Lucy, Levi returns to Gulong Continent.
He learned that Daydreamer was a little tired from saving Star Master Blue Dream some time ago..
Therefore, the plan to hunt down the Nightmare Overlord has been temporarily slowed down..
It was during this time that he could advance to the already extreme Death Ember Dragon Breathing Technique..
When Levi went back, he first recast the [Indestructible Armor] with all the high-quality ninth-level materials obtained during this period, especially the Star Ring-Tailed Snake Scales which contained the [Regeneration] special effect..
Then he used the blood crystals of [Blood Yuan Dragon], [Lamp-Burning Dragon] and [Greedy Star Insect] to prepare the promotion potion. He came to the land outside the sea and began to retreat..
……
Time flies, three years have passed.
Nora calendar year 1490.
Bloody Battle 1378.
nightmare world.
The realm of despair.
This is the domain of the desperate king.
The top of the pale white mountain that reaches the sky and the earth.
An endless serpent coiled around the world.
It is connected end to end like a ring.
As a relatively young nightmare monarch.
The rule of the Serpent of the End, Yelmond, in this area is not stable..
Compared with the old monarch, its foundation is still shallow..
There are not many nightmare overlords loyal to it..
Its frontal combat effectiveness is not very strong either..
but it has an advantage.
It has extremely powerful omen power.
This allowed it to escape death countless times.
During this time, the Desperate Monarch had trouble sleeping and eating..
it sees its own death.
I also sensed an evil thought coming from a distant place.
Someone wants to harm themselves!
If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't care at all.
But the problem is, the mastermind behind this.
He actually has a very strong counter-perception method..
So much so that the desperate monarch still can’t see who wants to harm him.?
But from its vague figure, it can be vaguely seen that it is a dragon..
“Someone coming!”
“Lord, what's the matter??”
“Get the information about all the dragon overlords and monarchs in the nightmare world to me.”
After careful consideration.
The desperate monarch decided to take the initiative.
It's not a snake waiting to die.
It will change the dead situation of the future!
……
two years later.
Nora calendar year 1492.
Bloody Battle 1380.
The land outside the ancient dragon continent.
A figure soars into the sky and rushes into a green world like a broken bamboo..
He looked at the blue imperial palace in front of him with a firm expression..
The phantoms of legendary creatures came and were shattered by him with one punch..
The powerful phoenix and star-greedy insect are attacking.
He only took them down with a few serious punches.
Just like that, he came to the blue throne without any hindrance..
A powerful, vast, and pure life force surged into its limbs and bones..
The injuries encountered during the Tribulation were all wiped out in an instant, and he became healthier and more perfect..
Feeling the transformation of life again.
After a good sleep, Levi opened his eyes.
The left eye is the eternal flame of immortality, and the right eye is the true fire of the stars that swallows up the sky and the earth..
Life and death, reincarnation and disillusionment.
All kinds of feelings surge through my heart.
The physical dimension is beyond mythical.
The birth of the fifth to the most advanced bloodline.
its name:
Green Emperor Dragon!
