Chapter 2648: Chapter 546: Rock Emperor’s Shield, Bo Ruo Saint King!
Now gradually adapting to the rhythm of the Blood Battle, I’ve stabilized the situation without further deterioration.
"By the way, we also gathered information about the Black Prison Beast... After it went to the Ninth Layer, it sought refuge with the Emperor of Torture. After the Emperor of Torture betrayed, the Black Prison Beast went missing, last appearing in the Undead Paradise," said the Demon Fox Main Mother.
Levi nodded.
He’s always kept the sub-dragons that once ambushed him in mind.
Even though he doesn’t need it, he could capture it to bolster the Dragon Palace.
As for the Undead Paradise, he visited it a long time ago.
There’s a lich strong enough to be a Grand Wizard on guard.
He even invited Levi to visit.
But out of caution, Levi declined.
Now his strength has improved.
He could consider visiting.
...
Undead Paradise.
Inside the Wizard Tower.
An elderly gray-robed wizard was dissecting a demon corpse in the laboratory.
Beside him, a four-legged Black Scale beast, about the size of a pet dog, lay asleep.
This was the Black Prison Beast.
"Old master, the Dusk Palace Master is here."
The butler’s voice came through.
Living room.
The roaring fireplace cast a dim light.
The Black Prison Beast hid behind Mr. Lost Heart, shivering.
The black-armored swordsman in front of it was a nightmare!
Mr. Lost Heart assumed it was intimidated by the guest’s presence.
While comforting it, he smiled and said:
"Sir Levi, at last, we meet."
"Hello, sir. I never expected such a harsh place like Hell to have a Grand Wizard from Nora stationed here. It’s truly admirable that you can establish yourself here."
Levi looked at the lich before him.
In the current School of Death, there are only two Nine-Ring lichs.
One is the Hellwalker, and the other is before him now.
Mr. Lost Heart adjusted his glasses and smiled:
"I’m merely relying on the congress’s prestige. Becoming a lich has severed any possibilities of further advancement... Although my lifespan is long, I can only watch as this new era of supernovae sing praises and become mere background."
"In everything, there is gain and loss; no perfect method exists in the world."
"Indeed. To be frank, I seek you because I sense the aura of the Nether Emperor from you, so I have a request. Of course, I will offer a corresponding reward."
"Please go ahead."
"I have lived for 11,911 years. Although I am a lich, I am no more than a century away from my limits. I’ve researched in Hell for six thousand years, accumulating vast knowledge, yet still unable to develop a cultivation method for lichs to advance further... However, I am confident that given another life, I will succeed. I aim to develop a way for legendary wizards to be transformed into lichs. I want to become the first legendary lich!"
Mr. Lost Heart’s words revealed an aura of madness.
Levi understood.
This is a research madman, just as rumored outside.
Reclusive, without friends.
His approach to Levi was due to his special relationship with the Underworld.
"You wish for me to help you reincarnate once? Sir, you overestimate me."
He possessed the Heroic Spirit Temple, but reincarnation results in becoming an undead.
Furthermore, it’s more suitable for a School of Death wizard to seek the Hand of Netherworld Prison to become a Heroic Spirit.
"Alas... I know it’s difficult. I’ve consulted the Hand of Netherworld Prison. To reincarnate and cultivate anew, only a legendary wizard can. This is the Underworld’s current baseline. Even he struggles to persuade the Underworld to give me special treatment. The Underworld has its own order and rules, which I understand. I am just unwilling."
"Isn’t life extension viable?"
"My space for life extension is very limited. Only by reincarnating to cultivate anew can I advance."
"What do you offer as payment?"
"A Sun Refining Artifact."
"What artifact?"
"See for yourself."
Mr. Lost Heart took out a transparent container.
Inside it, a mini earth-yellow shield was sealed.
Levi’s eyes slightly narrowed.
Sun Refining Artifact [Rock Emperor’s Shield].
Indeed, something he needs.
But concerning this matter, he hesitated.
Firstly, Mr. Lost Heart’s request is tremendously difficult.
Secondly, he’s about to become ninth-circle.
Then he can learn the secret technique [Sorren’s Sky Stealing Technique].
By using this technique.
He can spend certain resources.
To custom-create an oddity for himself.
Including what’s needed for Elemental Proof.
"You may keep this oddity, whether or not it’s successful. It’s yours," Mr. Lost Heart offered.
Levi thought for a moment and accepted it.
"I’ll give it a try, but don’t hold too much hope. Even if I open a pathway, it’s bound to make things difficult for the Underworld. Therefore, the possibility that they agree is low... If it’s unsuccessful, I will return the oddity to you."
"Alright, thank you very much."
The reason Levi agreed.
Was not mainly for the oddity.
But to have Mr. Lost Heart develop a more advanced lich technique.
Such knowledge would be greatly beneficial to the future wizard civilization.
Equivalent to giving wizards a lifespan extension.
And substantially increasing it.
Rather than miserly increasing by a mere thousand or hundred years like life extension treasures.
Mr. Lost Heart showed a relieved smile.
"Thank you, sir!"
He chatted with Levi for a long time.
Levi also learned some basics of lich knowledge.
Before leaving, Mr. Lost Heart copied a portion of the "Book of Witch Demon" for him.
This book compiles the knowledge of all lich scholars throughout history.
It systematically introduces lich theories and practical methods.
Levi wasn’t interested in being a lich.
However, he still treasured it.
More paths, more choices.
