74: The hidden fourth level of the ancient battlefield!

In the decades since the Transcendence Era began, countless races have been encountered.

Ye Ze had thought of a few powerful and rare races, but the summoning skill books for these races were equally rare, nowhere to be found on the market.

“Once I get to the Demon Suppressing Army Treasury, I can look for them again.”

The items in the Demon Suppressing Army Treasury were much more abundant than those in the exchange, and the probability of finding rare race summoning skill books was also higher.

“I hope they don’t default on the rewards after the Special Training Camp ends…”

Just as he was thinking, Ye Ze suddenly looked around.

The Ancient Battlefield, ravaged and left in ruins by Chi You’s Phantom, now had zero surviving trial participants, yet the instance hadn’t ended!

“What’s going on?”

At this moment, an anomaly suddenly occurred.

To Ye Ze’s surprise, another battlefield information prompt appeared before him:

“Detected someone has reached the objective: Kills exceed 50!”

“The fourth layer of the Ancient Battlefield has opened!”

“I’m the only one left, why open a fourth layer?”

Ye Ze was filled with confusion.

Then he suddenly realized, remembering the rumors about the ‘Ancient Legacy’ before the Ancient Battlefield opened!

It was said that this Ancient Battlefield came from another world, a transcendent world that had developed for over a thousand years, with astonishing overall strength, far beyond what Blue Star could compare to.

Could there be more surprises?

Outside, in the monitoring department, seeing the fourth layer of the Ancient Battlefield open, everyone’s expressions changed.

“Old Wei, what’s the situation?”

Even the usually composed Wei Zheng was a bit confused. “It wasn’t designed by me; it’s probably a hidden stage!”

“I didn’t expect there to be a hidden fourth layer of the Ancient Battlefield!”

“The activation conditions are truly harsh!”

“To kill more than half of the people in the entire arena, how could a normal person do that?”

“Could it be that there really is a legacy from another world…”

Although Wei Zheng brought up the possibility of an Ancient Legacy, even he himself couldn’t be sure if it truly existed.

He didn’t expect that someone would actually reach this point!

In front of the instance projection, all the headquarters’ high-ranking officials and supervisors were focused, staring intently at the upcoming scene.

Inside the room, the students who had just signed several confidentiality agreements had consumed a considerable amount of mental energy.

Confidentiality agreements are a common type of contractual item, signed with mental energy. Signing too many can lead to a feeling of depletion, similar to kidney deficiency.

And now, seeing the scene of the fourth layer of the Ancient Battlefield, the students exchanged glances…

It seemed like they would have to sign another one!

…

Ancient Battlefield, fourth layer.

To Ye Ze’s surprise, the scene hadn’t changed; it was still the ruins of Vanguard City, and his identity had become that of a city defender.

But when he turned his head, he was stunned:

Demons, demons, and still more demons!

As far as the eye could see, black clouds filled the sky, thick blood mist permeated the air, and Abyss demons, like a surging tide, swarmed forth in unknown numbers!

Ye Ze sighed.

How was this a surprise? It was more like a fright!

Demons covered the sky and earth, of all levels: elite, special elite, General, and even King-level! Demon King!

“I’m fighting a Demon King!?”

Ye Ze was dumbfounded. Looking across the entire Human Race of China, and even global high-tier powerhouses, the number of times a Demon King had been slain was no more than five.

Now it was his turn?

Rumble—

The ground trembled. Below Vanguard City, a small number of troops appeared, barely managing to confront the countless demons.

These armies consisted of various races, including the Human Race, Monster Race, Nature Spirits, Dragon Race, and more, but they were defeated repeatedly, completely outmatched.

They were almost engulfed by the endless demons.

In the monitoring department, even Wan Feipeng couldn’t help but say seriously, “Is this the war between that world and the demons?”

“This is a war for racial survival… It’s tragic!”

“Perhaps, a scene like this will also play out on our Blue Star in the future.”

As the high-ranking officials spoke gravely, the students remaining in the monitoring department also began to discuss.

Liu Anran said with a worried expression, “This kind of fourth layer must be a test. I wonder how Ye Ze will pass it?”

Luo Yao also said, “It would be fine if he had teammates, but he’s alone…”

Everyone present shared this question.

If he couldn’t pass the test, would he still have a chance to obtain the legacy?

And at the same time.

As the demon army approached closer, a mission prompt appeared before Ye Ze:

“Assessment—The Annihilation of the Ten Thousand Spirits World!”

“Assessment Mission: Survive for 30 minutes.”

“Description: You will face demon phantoms of the same level as you, re-experiencing the war of annihilation in the Ten Thousand Spirits World.”

Survive for 30 minutes amidst an almost endless siege of demons and a Demon King?

Wait a minute…

“The demons I face are all at the same level as me?”

Why didn’t you say so earlier!

What is there to be afraid of then!

The moment he saw the description, Ye Ze instantly regained his vigor!

He had never been afraid of enemies of the same level!

Just a Level 16 Demon King, even if a Level 16 Demon Emperor came… Never mind, I haven’t seen one, so I won’t brag.

As Ye Ze thought, he confidently led all his summoned beasts to the front line.

Just as he was about to unleash a massacre, a Human Race Warrior lying on the ground, covered in blood, tightly grabbed his pant leg:

“No, don’t go…”

“Run, live, and leave a spark for the Human Race…”

This Human Race Warrior was covered in blood and gore, his aura weak, clearly having just participated in the battle against the demons.

But at this moment, he weakly mumbled, “The Ten Thousand Spirits World, it’s gone…”

Ye Ze sighed, “Squirrel, tell two Shadow Doppelgangers to carry him away.”

Then, he looked at the demons before him and said calmly:

“I don’t know if the Ten Thousand Spirits World is gone or not, but this battle, it certainly won’t be lost.”

As soon as his voice fell, a phantom once again flickered on the Panda, and the mountain-like Chi You’s Phantom reappeared!

In the monitoring department, the students who had just been sent away by this skill felt a slight PTSD.

“How can he use this skill again? Didn’t they say stronger skills have longer cooldowns!”

“How much cooldown reduction does he have?”

“Holy crap! That Three-Tailed Fox’s Heavenly Lightning has also cooled down!”

Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, rolling heavenly lightning could be seen falling in the projection.

Like a hack-and-slash game, it harvested demons one after another.

Moreover, the Fox’s weapon secret treasure orb also had the effect of [Restores 1% Mana upon killing an enemy]…

One skill used, and mana instantly refilled!

It felt great to instantly kill monsters of the same level!

Before this, Ye Ze had asked Squirrel to rescue all the Ten Thousand Spirits World army members as well.

After all, he didn’t know if the number of surviving troops would affect the assessment results, but saving them certainly wouldn’t cause any problems.

This led to,

A group of Human Race, Elf, Monster Race, and other Ten Thousand Spirits World armies, all stood stunned, looking at the scene before them as if a deity had descended!

Chi You’s Phantom casually waved his hand, and Martial Saint Aura directly cleared out an entire area of demon phantoms.

Those few King-level demons, targeted by the Mantis, were instantly taken down by Void Slash, dying with remarkably little presence!

The number of demons rapidly decreased.

Ye Ze leaned back, bored.

“I hope the demons can hold out for thirty minutes…”
