Chapter 1018: The First Talent Brand Is Born! (1)
The Holy Brilliance Calendar, Year 1048, Month of Flowers
Dimension of the Ancient Saint, Emperor’s Palace.
“Haha, it’s done!”
In the mountain forest, Levi’s triumphant laughter echoed.
He rose from the ground, shattering the earth beneath him.
Radiant hues surrounded him, layer upon layer of armor materializing.
Golden scales, golden witch body, icy wood body, heavy water barrier, earth dragon barrier, golden snake dharma idol, crimson emperor dharma idol, golden dragon heavenly shield!
Beyond these eight layers of protection, countless rocks and soil converged towards Levi, enveloping him in the sky above!
In the blink of an eye, a spherical shape about ten zhang in diameter formed, its color akin to earth, composed of layers of compressed and solidified earth and stone.
It was enhanced by spells, harder than luminant gold.
“Boom.”
Levi, sealed within the earth and stone, whispered softly.
In an instant, the earthy sphere exploded.
The shockwave of flying debris covered a radius of several li.
The power of this explosion was truly intimidating.
“Ninth-layer defense, Fourth Circle spell: Earth Burst Barrier!”
Earth Burst Barrier: Ninth Rank (1/150,000).
…
Levi relaxed as he dispelled the protection.
Before the battle with Madam Ghost, Levi had started preparing his Fourth Circle protective force field.
But he hadn’t succeeded in his research until now, nearly two years after Madam Ghost’s departure.
In that battle, as a Fourth Circle Wizard, he was critically injured by a Level Five Scythe Demon Spirit from another realm.
It made him realize that his armor was still not enough!
So, he diligently began researching his Fourth Circle protective force field.
Levi chose the Ocean Faction’s spell fusion for his Third Circle protective force field, while for his Fourth Circle field, he opted for the Earth Faction.
Of course, in naming, he followed the convention of his Third Circle, using the term “barrier.”
He named it “Earth Burst Barrier.”
The reason for the name “Earth Burst” was because this barrier could indeed… burst.
In other words, it was both a defensive spell and an area attack spell.
In terms of defense, the current Ninth Rank Earth Burst Barrier was already on par with the perfected Ninth Rank Heavy Water Barrier.
As the top-tier Fourth Circle spell researched by Levi, the Earth Burst Barrier could be cultivated to the limit of the Eleventh Rank.
Once the Earth Burst Barrier reached perfection, its final defense should be no less than Levi’s perfected Third Circle innate talent, the Earth Dragon Barrier.
Now Levi’s spiritual force had reached 260 points, halfway to perfection.
His spell power had reached an impressive 13,000 points.
He took out the “Fire Ouroboros.”
“When I just entered the Fourth Circle, my spell power was insufficient to support the use of teleportation spells. Let’s see if it works now.”
Triss had mentioned the greatest strength of the Ouroboros ring.
It wasn’t inherent attack or defense spells but rather rare teleportation spells.
That’s why it was considered a premium Fifth-Circle Wizard Tool.
Under normal circumstances, only primordial soul wizards could use teleportation spells similar to “shrink to an inch” or “short-distance spatial teleportation.”
Levi found a place with a wide field of view.
The drawback of this teleportation, compared to the spatial teleportation of primordial soul wizards, was:
It had to be within the line of sight.
Thus, the use of this wizard tool was also limited to a range.
This field of view referred to the conventional kind, excluding the use of spiritual perception, transcendent insight, or similar spells.
The teleportation location and Levi had to be in a straight line, with no obstructions in between.
The maximum distance for teleportation was 1000 miles, with the farther Levi could see, the farther he could teleport within that range.
Levi ascended to the sky, where his vision was at its maximum.
Even ordinary people with normal vision could see tens of li away under unobstructed conditions.
With his current vision, he could see up to a thousand li away.
Of course, “seeing” here only meant visibility, not necessarily clarity of objects or details a thousand miles away.
But that didn’t affect teleportation.
Levi chanted the incantation.
His spell power within instantly drained, leaving him empty.
The next moment, before him, a blue light gate materialized.
On the other side of the gate, a scene of a cliff appeared, with a crooked-neck tree atop it.
Levi stepped into it, and the light gate vanished in an instant.
After a dizzying whirl, he had traversed a thousand miles.
Upon reappearing, he emerged from the blue light gate on the cliff, exactly where Levi had just seen.
“So that’s how it works… if used properly, this is simply a deadly weapon, as well as an escape godsend. Below the primordial soul, no one can catch up to me.”
Levi was quite satisfied.
Of course, with his current spell power, teleportation meant he wouldn’t have the ability to use other spells.
Fortunately, he still had knightly means; otherwise, going there would be handing himself over.
When pursuing someone, with a “blink,” he could appear behind the wizard. Who could withstand the Destruction Sword Qi?
“Not bad, another ace up my sleeve.”
Levi put away the Ouroboros ring and flew all the way to the Dusk Holy Temple.
The temple was now situated where the once Black Line City stood.
Over the years, with the help of the Ancient Dragon Empire, the temple had been quickly built.
The temple stood aloof, beyond the jurisdiction of the Ancient Dragon Empire.
Likewise, the temple couldn’t interfere with the affairs of the Ancient Dragon Empire.
Both were under Levi’s direct control.
Leveraging the abundant elemental power of the Ancient Saint plane.
The current Andrew had reached the peak of a mid-level apprentice wizard.
