Chapter 1297: The Fifth-Level Knight, Blood Source Armor and the Brilliant Golden Dragon! (5)

The Holy Infant brought out the âCrystal Shattering Techniqueâ and then hurriedly left.
Such a precious item, Levi didnât trust anyone else to deliver it, so it was always the Holy Infant who handled it personally.
âMy cultivation workload just increased.â
Levi began studying the âGod Forging Soul Technique,â working tirelessly.
Even with just a brief examination, Levi could sense the techniqueâs profoundness, far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
In the secluded room, Levi pondered aloud as he meditated:
...
âForget about 81; even 49 Maximum Souls are beyond the reach of over 90% of Fifth-Circle Wizards. Even if they had this technique, it wouldnât be much use to them.
According to the instructions, an ordinary Fifth-Circle Wizard would need around five hundred years to condense 49 Maximum Souls.
Even a genius would need two to three hundred years.
A Fifth-Circle Wizard has a lifespan of a thousand years; who has that much time to condense Maximum Souls?
Maybe top-tier geniusesâthey typically advance to the Fifth Circle around the age of two hundred, leaving plenty of time to prepare.
So, although everyone knows that internal crystal shattering is better, the most popular method nowadays is still the external crystal shattering technique.
For most Fifth-Circle Wizards, achieving the Primordial Soul alone is a major accomplishment, granting them a carefree lifespan of two thousand years.
Becoming a Grand Wizard or Legendary Wizard is something only a rare few will achieve. Early Primordial Soul, early enjoymentâno point overthinking it.â
Levi felt that with his proficiency panel, pursuing the Maximum Primordial Soul wouldnât be too difficult.
In the days that followed, he cultivated while managing his farm, living a rather pleasant life.
Several days later, in the cave where Leon resided, there was some movement.
He hurried over to check and found a white insect egg.
This egg had formed not long after Leon went into hibernation, initially two stories tall.
Over the years, the egg had shrunk until it was now less than a meter high.
âThis thing can grow smaller? Reverse growth?â Levi couldnât help but quip.
Soon after, the white eggshell began to crack.
A small hand covered in scales and slime emerged.
Then, the entire eggshell shattered.
A three-foot-tall golden figure with wings, looking about the same age as the Holy Infant, appeared.
It resembled a human, but wasnât.
It had six legs, a scorpion-like tail, a round belly covered in red armor plates.
Its face looked like it wore a mask resembling a knight, with large compound eyes of an insect.
âMaster⊠Master, Leon is hungry,â it said in a childish voice, pouting.
Levi took out some Nightmare Crystals and fed them to it.
âIt seems like itâs still the same Leon, just in a different form, still under my control,â he murmured to himself.
He could sense that Leonâs aura was now that of a true Fifth-Level being.
âLeon, do you feel any changes in yourself?â Levi asked.
Leon replied, âNot sure, just feel hungrier. Let me think⊠Oh, right, Master, I can do this.â
As he spoke, Leon opened his mouth and spewed out a black web.
The web grew rapidly, eventually covering an area with a diameter of several miles.
It ensnared Trist, who had been watching from a distance.
Trist was shocked and struggled for a long time before finally breaking free. Shaken, he obediently returned to guard the gates of Rolling Stone Hell.
âNot bad. Besides your appetite, you have some innate abilities. This web technique is enough to cause considerable trouble for a Fifth-Circle Wizard,â Levi said, patting Leonâs head, pleased.
Leon likely had other abilities, but his mind seemed unable to mature.
Levi didnât force Leon to display them, letting it be.
Leon was Leviâs most important family member. He wouldnât let Leon participate in dangerous battles, only needing it to handle the souls or soul imprints of defeated enemies from the rear.
With Leonâs advancement, Leviâs feeding pressure increased significantly.
Besides Leon, he also needed to feed a ravenous giant worm.
Returning to the Nightmare World, Levi ventured into the Chaotic Wilderness.
With the Faceless Infant Dragon, he slaughtered a group of low-level Nightmare Creatures, collecting a large number of Nightmare Crystals before returning to Dragon Palace Island.
From now on, heâd feed Leon with âNightmare Crystals and Soulsâ and Long with âBlack Beast and enemy flesh.â
If he found suitable humanoid corpses with strong bodies, he could use them to reforge the two corpse demons.
However, corpse demons were redundant for Levi now, given their overlap with alchemical creatures and their lack of necessity.

Sea of Stars, on this day, a dozen purple figures appeared at the edge.
Leading them was a towering, three-story-tall one-armed Amethyst Race warrior!
This was Roda, a Fifth-Level Amethyst Race powerhouse!
Behind him followed twelve purple figures. Among them, three had auras slightly weaker than his, but they were also Fifth-Level Amethyst Race.
âTsk, tsk, tsk, who would have thought such a large wizard settlement was hiding here? From today, spread out around the Sea of Stars and hunt those lone wizards. If they gather in large numbers, donât engage directly. Weâll use guerrilla tactics against them,â Roda said.
He was one of the eight Fifth-Level peak leaders of the Amethyst Race Sacred Land. Previously assigned to guard the third layer, he was discovered by an Order Keeper and lost an arm to a Sixth-Level Wind Element Lord, an injury that still hadnât healed.
