Hellish Caverns, the Spiked Demon Boss Legion!

Looking at the difficulty of the fourth-tier advancement trial dungeon before him, Chen Ming smiled.

Level 80 Epic-level Boss?

Level 80 Legendary-Grade boss?

For ordinary third-tier players, this would be an immense challenge, with a success probability infinitely close to zero.

But for Chen Ming, it held no difficulty whatsoever.

Not to mention level 80 epic level bosses and Legendary-Grade bosses, even level 100 epic level bosses and Legendary-Grade bosses—he was confident he could easily shoot them down now.

"My current strength has long surpassed the standards of the third tier."

Muttering softly to himself, Chen Ming was in high spirits and decisively chose to enter the secret realm dungeon.

"Buzz!!"

The next moment, a milky white light pillar descended from the sky, enveloping Chen Ming and causing him to vanish from the spot.

A strong sense of dizziness washed over him as Chen Ming felt his surroundings gradually blur.

When everything became clear again, he found himself in a dimly lit cavern.

"Roar, roar!!"

Eerie and sinister wails echoed in his ears, sending shivers down his spine.

Chen Ming looked up and saw a faint layer of black mist permeating the cavern. As the mist swirled, a continuous stream of true damage floated above his head.

-500 points (true damage).

-500 points (true damage)... "What is this..."

Chen Ming reached out to touch the black mist, and a prompt immediately appeared before his eyes.

[Demon Mist: Under the Demon Mist's influence, all demonic creatures recover 1000 HP per second. For every 10% HP lost, recovery effect increases by 10%. Non-demonic creatures under the Demon Mist suffer 500 points of true damage per second and take +100% damage from demonic creature attacks.]

"...I knew it. An abyssal level difficulty advancement trial wouldn't be that simple."

Chen Ming shook his head with a smile but didn't take it too seriously.

His current HP bar was in the billions; 500 points of true damage was nothing more than a minor itch to him—it didn't even match the HP he recovered per second.

"Come out!"

With a thought, Chen Ming summoned Little Gray, the Ice Abyss Dragon, and Emily from the summoning space.

"Let's finish this quickly!"

Unwilling to waste too much time, Chen Ming moved forward with his three pets/summons.

Sinister and eerie roars echoed all around, chilling to the bone.

Chen Ming hadn't taken more than a few steps.

A dense chorus of roars suddenly came from ahead.

Immediately after, a barrage of whistling sounds followed.

Spikes like a torrential downpour shot through the mist, aimed directly at his forehead.

"Roar, roar!!"

With a furious roar, Little Gray flew out, spewing a breath of dragon fire.

The scorching dragon breath instantly melted all the spikes mid-air.

Chen Ming looked up accordingly.

In the mist, a large number of monsters emerged.

These monsters resembled humanoids but stood less than a meter tall, covered in sharp spikes from head to toe. Their faces bore expressions of malice, their eyes filled with greed as they stared at Chen Ming.

[Spiked Demon]

[Level: 70.]

[abyssal level advancement trial bonus: Max HP +200,000 points, attacks deal an additional 20% magic damage to enemies.]

[Lower Demon bonus: Max HP +30,000 points.]

[HP: 420,000/420,000 points.]

[Physical Attack: 7,500 points.]

[Magic Attack: 5,000 points.]

[Physical Defense: 2,500 points.]

[Magic Defense: 2,000 points.]

"...Tsk tsk, as expected of an abyssal level difficulty advancement trial."

Chen Ming clicked his tongue in amazement.

To be honest, the attributes of these Spiked Demons were absurdly strong, far surpassing ordinary third-tier players.

If other players were here, they'd probably be turned into sieves in an instant.

But unfortunately, they were facing Chen Ming now.

"Playing ranged in front of me?"

Chen Ming sneered, then raised the [Other Shore] in his hand.

The next moment, a dense series of whistling sounds rang out.

"Whoosh!!"

A storm of arrows shot forth.

In less than the blink of an eye, they covered the group of [Spiked Demons] before him.

"Squelch, squelch!"

-4,050,000 points (Poison Damage).

-4,050,000 points (Poison Damage).

-35,000 points.

3,000 points (true damage)... As a series of terrifying damage numbers flew out, in less than the blink of an eye,

the group of [Spiked Demons] before him was instantly wiped out.

[Ding dong, you have successfully killed [Spiked Demon], EXP +12,000 points.]

[Title [I'll Form the Head] effect activated, EXP doubled, additional EXP +12,000 points.]

[Ding dong, you have successfully killed [Spiked Demon], EXP +12,000 points.]

...Dense kill notifications popped up before his eyes.

A large amount of EXP quickly stored into the experience pool.

Chen Ming glanced roughly; this group of [Spiked Demons] provided him with nearly 7,000,000 EXP.

In addition, there were various equipment and items, about forty to fifty pieces.

"Indeed, although the abyssal level advancement trial's difficulty is absurdly high, both the EXP provided and drop rates far exceed those of ordinary secret realm dungeons outside."

Muttering softly to himself, Chen Ming was in high spirits, then turned to look at the pile of [Spiked Demon] corpses on the ground. The effect of [30% of the Divine Authority of Ten Thousand Beasts] activated accordingly.

"Stand up!"

At Chen Ming's command, the previously dead [Spiked Demons] stood up one by one, bowing respectfully before him.

"Strengthen!"

Without hesitation, Chen Ming directly activated his Forbidden Talent.

"Buzz!!"

A flash of eerie light swept over, instantly enveloping all the [Spiked Demons].

In less than the blink of an eye, these [Spiked Demons] all evolved from ordinary monsters into boss-level existences.

"Impressive!"

Seeing this, a smile appeared at the corner of Chen Ming's mouth. He then waved his hand grandly, leading the Spiked Demon army deeper into the dungeon.

"Roar, roar!!"

Not long after setting out, another chorus of roars sounded.

Dense hordes of demonic monsters charged out from the black mist.

This time, the monsters were bull-headed humanoids covered in black scales, numbering over a thousand.

[Demon Bull Warrior]

[Level: 75.]

"...Perfect timing!"

"Just right to test the boss army's strength."

Chen Ming grinned, then took a step back and waved his hand grandly: "Fire!"

"Whoosh!!"

The commanded [Spiked Demon] army immediately launched a simultaneous attack.

A dense barrage of spikes shot forth.

Although these [Demon Bull Warriors] outnumbered and out-leveled the Spiked Demons by a significant margin,

they couldn't withstand the fact that these Spiked Demons, under the enhancement of Chen Ming's Forbidden Talent, had all transformed into boss-level monsters, completely overpowering the [Demon Bull Warriors] in attributes.

"Squelch, squelch!!"

In less than a few breaths, all the [Demon Bull Warriors] lay fallen in pools of blood.
