Chapter 2422: Chapter 509: Mythical Star Butterfly Dragon! Dragon of Salvation!
Looking at the disappearance of the Thousand Illusions Knight, Levi felt a bit helpless.
As of now, among the 18 Twilight Cavalry, those who have successfully ascended to the Mythical level are all male knights.
Among the older generation of knights, Goddess Knight Elsa has limited potential, and Divine Light Knight Denise, seeking stability, has also abandoned the mythical path.
Out of the eighteen riders, there are only four female knights, and aside from the Flower Knight, the Thousand Illusions Knight is the village’s last hope.
...
Four years later.
Nora 830 years.
Blood Battle 619 years.
Ancient Dragon Continent.
Dusk Holy Temple.
Rumble! High above the heavens, an ominous purple lightning fell, engulfing the figure of a knight clad in gray armor.
The knight’s veins bulged, and the broad Ash Greatsword slashed out, with Sword Qi shooting toward the heavens.
The Dharma Idol of a giant dragon, exuding a decaying aura, experienced Resurrection, spread its wings, and sheltered the Ash Knight below.
After taking a brief rest, the Ash Knight’s body healed.
He used his self-created "Immortal Scripture of Withering and Flourishing," clashed with the lightning calamity once again with his flesh and blood.
This lightning calamity is his Dark Tribulation, emerging from the void, continuous and relentless.
Even though he possesses a physique-type Breathing Technique, he has been on the brink of life and death several times.
Fortunately, he also has a Level 7 Treasure for protection, allowing him to turn danger into safety.
From afar, Levi watched silently.
"The Fire Dragon Knight’s ’Fire Dragon Brilliance Extreme Book,’ the Blood Knight’s ’Qilin Strategy,’ the Ash Knight’s ’Immortal Scripture of Withering and Flourishing’... they’ve all developed unique combat skill systems of their own, truly impressive."
As members of the 18 Twilight Cavalry, none of them would be satisfied with following others’ paths.
In the Art of War, these knights have formed their own distinct paths.
This is also what Levi advocates; he provided his "Extreme Dao Strategy" for the knights to study, after all.
Three years ago, the Ash Knight completed all the preparations for ascension at the holy temple branch on Nora Continent, and Levi had him come to the Ancient Dragon Continent for seclusion.
Today, facing tribulation, the Ash Knight successfully overcame the Blood Tribulation, surprisingly without danger.
However, this final Dark Tribulation turned out to be unexpectedly difficult.
Even Levi hadn’t experienced this void lightning tribulation before, and he didn’t know how long it would last.
Boom!
"The thirteenth lightning... is it not over yet?"
Elena’s face showed some reluctance.
The Ash Knight was in a miserable state now; there was no intact flesh left on his entire body.
Ash, flames, blood, and thick smoke intertwined.
"It’s alright, he can do it."
Levi recalled the first time he met the Ash Knight.
Back then, he was just a grand knight, yet he caused great trouble for a noble Primary Blood Clan member.
The songs of humanity are the songs of courage.
The Ash Knight chose the path of Evolution, having prepared for the possibility of death.
The eighteenth thunderbolt fell with a rumble, leaving only a mass of writhing, charred flesh at the original location.
Even the Level 7 Treasure used for tribulation showed numerous cracks.
Many knights dared not continue watching, while the Thousand Illusions Knight watched silently.
The atmosphere was immensely heavy, oppressing everyone.
"The lightning has stopped... it’s stopped. Commander, has the Ash Knight’s calamity ended?"
The Black Knight looked at the Ash Knight, wanting to go up and help.
Levi said, "Whether it’s over, only the Ash Knight knows. Don’t act rashly; he’s not easy to kill."
The Ash Knight’s ascension.
Is based on the Ash Dragon.
Enhanced with bloodline factors from three Legendary Creatures: Ancient God Worm, Star Ring-tailed Snake, and Holy Heart Butterfly.
The Ancient God Worm is a legendary giant worm with an Undying Body.
It possesses a super strong adaptability and physique, surviving in any extreme environment, also known as the "Undying Worm."
The Star Ring-tailed Snake is a giant serpent that devours planes; no matter how severe the injuries, it can heal by devouring the plane.
The last, the Holy Heart Butterfly, is a giant butterfly that roams the astral world.
Its scale powder can heal all things, and its light can warm the soul.
Such a magnificent lineup, a new Breathing Technique, is undoubtedly extraordinary.
As long as the Ash Knight successfully overcomes this, a bright road lies ahead.
Actually, the Ash Knight had another option, which was to fuse with the Undying Bird like Levi.
In doing so, Levi, as the pioneer, has already overcome the Dark Tribulation, so he doesn’t need to go through it again.
Perhaps, it’s because he doesn’t want to be like the commander, preferring to create something of his own.
The stubborn Ash Knight still chose the tougher path.
This spirit is something Levi quite approves of.
As a member of the eighteen riders, one indeed needs to have their own style.
Unknown when the mass of flesh had solidified, transforming into a scarlet cocoon.
The life force began to disappear, causing everyone to worry.
Levi said, "Don’t panic; the Ash Knight has succeeded. The Ash Dragon is inherently a creature that is born from death."
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The commander said it’s fine, so it must be stable.
Sure enough, shortly thereafter.
"Thump, thump!"
The sound of a heartbeat resounded.
The scarlet cocoon began to revive with life force.
Crack, the cocoon split open.
Resplendent light surged out, shooting straight into the sky.
Countless iridescent particles burst forth, like the eruption of stardust.
These particles clustered together, vaguely revealing the shape of an indescribable giant beast.
It possessed a noticeably Ash Dragon-like head, with a serpentine and elongated body.
At its tail, a serpent’s tail coiled around, resembling a star clock.
A layer of colorful ash floated around its body, slowly rotating, much like the rings surrounding Jupiter.
Its body was covered with a shell similar to that of an insect, with two pairs of wings resembling butterfly wings on both sides.
