Begin the advanced trial in the Elemental Lands!

Chen Ming stored the [Dead City Token] into his backpack.

After the talent enhancement, the secret realm that originally required Level 30 to enter had directly become a Level 70 secret realm.

The difficulty had increased exponentially.

However, the rewards had also increased exponentially.

Especially under the bonus of the [Reward Outburst] suffix.

Once the secret realm was cleared, the rewards would definitely be unexpectedly generous.

Of course, in the short term, Chen Ming certainly wouldn't be able to use it.

...

Night!

Chen Ming returned to Silver Dragon Village. After a simple dinner, he returned to the small inn.

He just had to wait for tomorrow morning for the [Fatigue Debuff] to disappear, then he could start the Advancement Trial and enter the main city area.

Compared to the Novice Village, the main city in Eternal was not only more prosperous but also contained more opportunities.

Players from other civilized worlds, native residents of Eternal...

"In this life, without Zhou Yuyan as a burden, and relying on my Forbidden Talent and the memories of my past life in my mind, my achievements will be beyond imagination!"

Chen Ming took a deep breath and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Today, he rarely had a dream.

In the dream, he sat upon a throne, with billions of civilizations submitting below him.

...

Nothing more happened that night.

The next morning.

Chen Ming slowly opened his eyes amidst the warm sunlight.

After a simple wash-up in the room and eating breakfast, Chen Ming took a deep breath and opened the Advancement Trial.

[Ding-dong, detected that the player's level has reached Level 20. Please select the Advancement Trial difficulty you wish to challenge.]

[Normal Grade: Upon completion, all attributes +10 points, Level +1 / Extra +1 Free Attribute Point.]

[Elite Grade: Upon completion, all attributes +15 points, Level +1 / Extra +2 Free Attribute Points.]

[Hard Grade: Upon completion, all attributes +20 points, Level +1 / Extra +3 Free Attribute Points.]

[King Grade: Upon completion, all attributes +30 points, Level +1 / Extra +5 Free Attribute Points.]

[Purgatory Grade: Upon completion, all attributes +50 points, Level +1 / Extra +7 Free Attribute Points.]

[abyssal level: Upon completion, all attributes +100 points, Level +1 / Extra +10 Free Attribute Points.]

[Reminder: You only have one challenge opportunity. Once you fail, you will forever remain at your current level and be unable to improve.]

[Reminder: The Advancement Trial can be entered in a party, but the difficulty will increase according to the number of people.]

...

The attributes brought by different difficulties of the Advancement Trial could be described as worlds apart.

Especially in the later stages, after undergoing multiple Advancement Trials, the attribute gap between players would grow larger and larger.

The strong stay strong, and the weak stay weak; this was the iron law within Eternal.

Chen Ming did not hesitate for a second and directly chose the highest difficulty, the abyssal level Advancement Trial.

[Ding-dong, you have started the abyssal level Advancement Trial.]

[Starting to generate the abyssal level Advancement Trial quest.]

[Generating, please wait...]

[The abyssal level Advancement Trial quest has been generated, and the corresponding dungeon has been created.]

[You may view the abyssal level Advancement Trial information yourself. After confirmation, you will be teleported to the quest dungeon.]

A series of notification sounds popped up in front of Chen Ming's eyes.

He took a deep breath and opened the Advancement Trial panel to check.

[Advancement Trial (abyssal level)]

[Quest Details: Clear the dungeon — Land of Elements.]

[Clearance Requirement 1: Kill 100 elemental monsters each of Wind, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, Dark, and Lightning.]

[Clearance Requirement 2: Kill the Elemental Lord (Level 25 Platinum-grade Boss).]

...

As Chen Ming confirmed the quest information, a pillar of milky-white light descended from the sky, enveloping him and causing him to disappear from the spot.

When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived at a desolate land.

Burning red magic particles flowed through the air.

"Come out!"

Chen Ming took a deep breath and summoned the Ice Emperor Wolf King, the Undead Lord, and Emily.

It was worth mentioning that as his level reached 20, the Undead Lord had completed another evolution and had become a bronze grade Boss.

Although its appearance hadn't changed much, its overall attributes had received a qualitative leap.

Chen Ming looked at the current attribute panel of the Undead Lord.

[Undead Lord] (bronze grade Boss)

[Level: Level 20 (Consistent with the summoner's level).]

[bronze grade Boss Template Bonus: Max HP +40,000 points, Physical/magic defense +150 points, All damage received -200 points.]

[Skill 5: Undead Spike Lv1.]

[Attached Suffix: Undead Sovereign (Gold).]

[Description: A top-tier existence among the undead.]

...

After evolving into a bronze grade Boss, the Undead Lord's tankiness had skyrocketed.

With an HP bar as high as 125,000 points, plus 750 physical defense and 600 magic defense, even those top-tier players who had awakened high-quality talents at this stage could not shake it.

In fact, in terms of tankiness, the Undead Lord was already comparable to many silver grade Bosses of the same level.

"Let's go!"

Chen Ming took a deep breath and let the Undead Lord lead the way as they stepped onto this mysterious land.

The next moment, with a roar, the red magic particles that were originally floating in the air began to surge, eventually transforming into massive fire giants that charged toward Chen Ming with a howl.
