Seventy-two Demon Gods of the Demon Realm!

"Roar, roar!!"

Accompanied by the sound of a tiger's roar.

The variegated giant tiger pounced towards Chen Ming with the momentum of an imperial tiger hunting its prey, its speed terrifyingly fast, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

But before it could even get close, Little Gray suddenly charged out and directly sent it flying back with a collision.

[Variegated Star Tiger]

[Level: 115.]

[HP: 3.25m/3.25m.]

...

"You think you can sneak attack with just this?"

Chen Ming sneered.

Although the [Variegated Star Tiger]'s level was as high as 115, comparable to a fifth-tier player.

To the current Chen Ming, a monster of this level could only be considered a small fry.

Chen Ming raised the [Beyond] in his hand.

"Whoosh, whoosh!!"

A sharp sound of piercing air rang out as arrows filled the sky and shot forth.

In less than the blink of an eye, before the [Variegated Star Tiger] could even react, it was instantly killed.

[Ding! You have successfully killed a Variegated Star Tiger, EXP +12,000.]

[Title [ill form the head] effect activated, EXP multiplied by ten, EXP +120,000.]

A bright red kill notification popped up in front of him.

With the boost from his high Luck attribute, two pieces of silver grade equipment dropped.

However, for the current Chen Ming, equipment of this level was not worth a second glance; he simply tossed them into his backpack.

"Roar, roar!!"

Just then, another low growl echoed from the depths of the cave.

The sound wasn't particularly loud, but it contained a soul-shaking majesty.

Hearing this roar, instead of fear, Chen Ming's eyes lit up.

"This is the place!"

As he spoke, Chen Ming led Little Gray and the Ice Abyss Dragon quickly toward the depths of the cave.

The deeper they went into the cave, the wider it became, and that majestic roar grew clearer.

Monsters occasionally rushed out to attack Chen Ming along the way, all of them above level 100 without exception.

Chen Ming didn't let any of them go, shooting them all down.

[Ding! You have successfully killed a Cave Blood Lizard, EXP +8,500.]

[Ding! You have successfully killed a Night Spider Leader (Elite), EXP +85,000.]

...

With a continuous stream of kill notifications popping up, Chen Ming finally reached the deepest part of the cave.

What met his eyes was a vast open space, the ground densely covered with golden patterns.

These golden patterns were interwoven and intertwined, together forming a massive alchemy magic circle.

At the end of the magic circle was a huge golden light screen.

Behind the light screen, a blurry black shadow could vaguely be seen.

The majestic roar that had been echoing in his ears earlier was precisely from this black shadow.

"Buzz, buzz!!"

At this moment, with Chen Ming's arrival, the light screen suddenly erupted with a burst of clear light.

Following that, the blurry black shadow became increasingly clear.

Simultaneously, as Chen Ming looked up, an attribute panel appeared before his eyes.

[Eternal God King of Brightness]

[Level: 545.]

[HP: ???]

[Strength: ???]

...

On the panel, everything except the name and level was represented by question marks.

One must know that in Eternal, before becoming a god, players undergo an Advancement Trial every 20 levels.

After breaking through level 200, one can ignite the divine fire and ascend to a divine position.

After level 200, which is after becoming a god, a divine Promotion trial is required every 100 levels.

Deity, True God, Main God, God King...

This was the path of Promotion after becoming a god.

However, after a player becomes a god, every level up is incredibly difficult, with the required experience points measured in the tens of trillions.

Let alone in Eternal, in the entire Starry Universe, existences that stood above gods were extremely rare.

Each one was a powerful being capable of governing billions of starry river planes and worlds.

The level of the blurry black shadow before him was actually as high as 545, which meant it was a legendary God King.

Its strength was naturally unimaginable.

"Endless ages have passed, and finally, another living being has set foot here."

"Human, I am the Eternal God King of Brightness. I once ruled over billions of planes in the starry sky and protected the universe, but I was unfortunately ambushed and killed by the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Calamity, and finally sealed here."

"If you can help me escape, I can give you a Godhead to help you quickly become a god."

A grand voice came from the shadow within the light screen, carrying a special allure that made one unconsciously sink into it and feel an irresistible urge to follow his instructions.

However, with the boost from his high willpower attribute, Chen Ming quickly broke free from this influence.

"Acting like a big shot in front of me!"

Chen Ming sneered in his heart.

If it had been anyone else, they might have actually been intimidated by this so-called Eternal Lord of Brightness.

After all, the opponent's attribute panel was right there.

But Chen Ming was different; with the memories of his past life, he knew clearly.

The true identity of the so-called Eternal Lord of Brightness in this light screen was actually Demon God Mapha, one of the Seventy-Two Pillars of the Demon Realm.

In his past life, a player from the Beastman Civilization had accidentally come to this cave, been bewitched by Mapha, and helped him open the seal, only to be killed on the spot by Mapha.

Although Mapha was resealed by the Church of Light shortly after breaking the seal.

But news about him had spread, and later the Dark Church had dispatched a large force in an attempt to rescue this Demon God.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming put on a pious expression.

"Great Eternal Lord of Brightness, it is my honor to meet you."

"But as you can see, I am truly too weak."

"With my strength, I'm afraid I cannot help you escape the seal."

"How about this? Please wait patiently for a moment. I will go out and notify the people from the Church of Light. With the Church's strength, they will surely be able to help you escape the seal."

Chen Ming's voice was sincere, as if he were the most devout Believer of the Eternal Lord of Brightness.

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to walk out of the cave.

Mapha, inside the light screen, saw this and immediately called out to Chen Ming: "Human, wait a moment."

Good grief!

He didn't dare let Chen Ming actually notify the people from the Church of Light, or his cover would be blown.

By then, he would probably be trapped here for all eternity.

"Great Eternal Lord of Brightness, do you have any other instructions?"

Chen Ming pretended to turn back in confusion, though in his heart, he had already anticipated everything.

Mapha coughed, and holy light radiated from his body: "Human, there's no need for such trouble. I have something here that can help you break the seal for me."

As Mapha spoke, a milky-white arrow was slowly sent out from the light screen and landed in Chen Ming's hand.

[Ding! You have received a gift from the Eternal Lord of Brightness and obtained the equipment — Radiant Judgment Arrow (Mythical-Grade).]
