Chapter 2270: Chapter 483: Sun Refining Artifact, Seven Rings Limit!
Right now, he is merely a consciousness descending, so there is no danger.
As long as the seclusion ends, he can awaken.
Thinking for a moment, he delved into the first layer of the wizard tower.
Inside, it was empty, with only some broken furniture.
There were also some weak shadow creatures hiding here.
Levi ascended step by step, the second layer, the third layer... all the way to the top layer where most wizards preferred to stay.
The ninth layer, this was the study and laboratory.
Still, there was nothing except some experimental notes and diaries, all recorded by Vicna.
Unfortunately, Levi couldnāt flip through the books to check.
He knew this was precious knowledge from the Shadow School of Thought, yet he couldnāt obtain it.
A rustling sound came, and a calf-sized Shadow Rat crawled out from under the bed.
It seemed to be gnawing on something, and when Levi leaned in to look, he was startled.
It was a vaguely human-shaped... shadow.
The edges of the shadow were all jagged, having been eaten by the Shadow Rat.
But soon enough, these gaps automatically healed.
As if sensing Leviās gaze, the shadow strained to lift an arm, opening a mouth like a black hole.
A hoarse voice echoed in Leviās consciousness.
"Please... save me."
...
Ancient Banyan Fairyland.
Levi opened his eyes, his forehead glistening with sweat.
He looked at the Shadow Emblem in his palm, unknowingly, it had already been completely refined.
To refine this oddity, he sat meditating for ten years.
His consciousness had wandered in the shadow world for ten years.
"What exactly was that last shadow? Was it Vicna? Is he not dead?"
Levi had many questions, with no one to answer them.
Vicna lived one hundred thousand years ago, not to mention legendary, even legends canāt live till now.
Unless he reincarnated.
The answer, perhaps, lies only in venturing into the shadow world.
Levi suppressed the matter, sensing the changes from refining the oddity.
In his mind, in the seven-layer wizard tower, his primordial soul was even more ethereal.
His spiritual force seemed to have hit a ceiling, even feeling somewhat overflowing.
He knew that this Sun Refining Artifact had pushed his spiritual force to its limit in ten years.
With such a large increase, he needed time to stabilize his realm next.
To avoid an unsteady foundation, causing him to lose control when advancing to the eighth-circle.
Then, he gazed at the talent spell model branded on the Divine Ring Tower, the Shadow Dragon Group.
From the mouth of the pitch-black Divine Dragon, a black bead appeared, like a Dragon Ball.
"Indeed, the solidified talent spell has evolved and metamorphosed once again."
Levi summoned the shadows, discovering they were more agile than before.
"The number of shadows hasnāt changed."
Levi had one of the shadows kill a few prepared experimental black beasts.
"The strength of the shadows has generally improved somewhat since before, wait..."
After the shadow killed the black beasts, a black shadow flew from the corpses and merged into it.
Levi sensed that the momentum of the shadow seemed to enhance slightly.
The change was subtle, scarcely noticeable if one wasnāt paying attention.
But it was indeed becoming stronger.
His heart couldnāt help but race.
"These shadows can hunt living beings, take their shadows, and enhance their strength."
This change could be considered heavyweight.
Before this, the strength of Leviās shadows completely depended on the strength of the slain during life.
For example, a Level 7 Mid Stage demon could only become a Level 6 Mid Stage shadow.
The strength of this shadow was fixed, unchangeable.
But now, the shadow can evolve by devouring other shadows, possessing growth potential.
Of course, doing so has a downside:
The devoured shadow canāt transform into a new shadow creature for Leviās use in the shadow world.
However, once the number of Shadow Dragon Group reaches the upper limit, Levi doesnāt need that many shadow creatures.
Overall, increasing quality is more important than blindly pursuing quantity.
Of course, this growth isnāt infinite.
The shadowās strength ultimately wonāt surpass its upper limit during life.
But even so, this is extremely formidable.
After these years of demon-hunting, Levi alone has thirteen Level 7 demon shadows.
Known as the "Mo Familyās Thirteen Generals."
Imagine if the Thirteen Generals all restored their peak power during life.
The enhancement to Leviās power would be tremendous.
Using his talent, he can continuously convert Level 8 powerhouses from enemies to his own.
Using demons to counter demons!
"Once the blood battle is successfully overcome, I might forge a Shadow Army numbering in the thousands or even tens of thousands at the Demon Lord level. Just the thought is terrifying, easily sweeping across a large plane."
Of course, all this is based on the most ideal theoretical scenario.
Judging from the recent test.
To elevate the army, an immense amount of shadows are needed for devouring.
Restoring all the shadows to their strength during life is unrealistic in the short term.
If a portion can recover, itās enough for Levi to sweep over everything.
Besides.
On Leviās chest, an emblem shadow flickered in and out of sight.
Its surface was profound, drawing in all light.
Levi entered it consciously, finding no daylight inside.
A dense force of dark shadow energy filled it.
Within the emblem, there was inherently a small world.
Itās not large, but it can mysteriously draw shadow power from the shadow world.
This way, Leviās Shadow Army can use the emblem as a base camp.
They donāt have to crowd in the Black Soul Demon Tower, competing with the Undead for territory.
Nor need they return to the shadow world, being hunted by the shadow demons.
Of course, this emblem doesnāt have the ability to spontaneously generate shadow creatures.
Itās similar to the tombstone shadow Levi obtained after refining the tombstone oddity, only able to convert shadow power.
Thus, newly born shadow creatures still arise on the shadow worldās side.
But for Levi, itās already satisfactory, solving his urgent need.
He immediately summoned all the Shadow Dragon Group back from the shadow world.
From Level 4 Shadows to Level 7 Shadows, all transformed into black light, flooding into the emblemās interior.
The space inside can automatically expand as Leviās realm advances.
Moreover, the Shadow Emblem has also given birth to a special talent called Shadow Body.
Its function is simple, on one hand enhancing Leviās shadow talent.
On the other, granting Levi the ability to traverse the shadow world freely.
Most importantly, in the shadow world, his abilities wonāt be severely weakened either.
Itās equivalent to him becoming half a shadow creature.
However, the shadow world is too dangerous, so he currently has no intention of going.
The Grand Wizard Vicna, seemingly fallen in the shadow world, is an example.
