Chapter 1704 Return to the Third Level of the Abyss!
puff!
The solid rock spikes pierced the phantom bear's abdomen.
Although the rock spikes shatter and disappear immediately after 5 seconds, the damage they cause is real.
The giant bear roared in pain, its form becoming increasingly ethereal.
Ye Chuyun simultaneously applied lightning and fire effects to the remaining five illusionary soldiers and two clones.
This makes them look like thunder and fire war gods, charging forward with lightning and fire, their momentum terrifying.
Under the interference of the real illusion, the phantom giant bear, whose strength was close to the high-level of the Heavenly Realm, was quickly exhausted and dissipated with a mournful howl.
[Defeat the core guardian of the illusion; the eleventh floor challenge is complete.]
[Scores earned: 200000!]
[Enter the twelfth floor?]
"Enter!"
Ye Chuyun was in high spirits, and his new talent's performance in actual combat was nothing short of perfect.
It is versatile and highly effective, capable of deceiving, scouting, defending, launching surprise attacks, and deterring others.
In the next challenge, Ye Chuyun used the [True Illusion] technique with unparalleled skill.
In the twelfth level of the clone battle, my illusions are more numerous and more realistic than yours.
The thirteenth layer of traps and mechanisms involves using illusions to guide the way and materializing them as stepping stones.
The fourteenth-level hidden assassin's perception was distorted by the real illusion, causing him to crash into a solidified wall.
……
With the versatile and overpowered ability of [True Illusion], Ye Chuyun swept through the levels with unstoppable momentum, easily and effortlessly overcoming many challenges that were not simply a matter of overwhelming strength.
He even deliberately controlled and tried not to use the [Elemental Domination] ability, relying purely on illusion tactics to maneuver, break through, and outsmart the opponent.
Points have been increasing rapidly.
When you break through to the twentieth level, the guardian of this level is a semi-spirit-level behemoth.
Seeing this, Ye Chuyun's playful nature was aroused.
He immediately unleashed a realistic illusion, transforming the battlefield into a bizarre and fantastical labyrinth.
At the same time, he created dozens of clones and illusionary soldiers with various elemental costumes to harass and roam the illusionary realm.
The behemoth roared in fury, unleashing a field of ice that shattered vast swathes of illusions.
But Ye Chuyun's true form had already silently crept up behind him under the cover of illusion.
He imagined an extremely heavy shackle that also contained the power of ice, and instantly materialized it, placing it on the limbs and neck of the behemoth.
Although it lasted only five seconds, the sudden heavy restraint and biting cold caused the giant beast to stiffen abruptly.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Chuyun used the Return to Nothingness technique to easily pierce through the giant beast's head.
[Challenge to the twentieth floor successful!]
[Scores earned: 1000000!]
Congratulations on clearing the 20th floor for the first time! You have received an extra 1000000 points!
[Total points earned: 4850000!]
[The highest historical record has been updated to 20 floors.]
Having gained nearly five million points again, Ye Chuyun exited the Trial Tower with satisfaction.
At this point, only half an hour remained before the third level of the abyss opened.
He immediately rushed to the treasure hall.
With nearly 40 million points in hand, Ye Chuyun's purchasing power is now vastly different from what it used to be.
First, let's look at the items that can increase attributes.
【Eternal Attribute Fruit】: Purchase limit of 10 of each type, each fruit costs 50 points.
Scan all!
2000 million points were spent instantly.
Take it on the spot, and 20000 free attribute points will be credited to your account.
Secondly, there are items that boost points.
[Double Points Card (1 hour)], limited to 5 cards per purchase, 20 points per card.
Buy it all!
[Lucky Blessing Scroll], limited to 3 purchases, 30 each.
All of them!
Next, items specifically for the Berserker Abyss.
[Scroll of Abyss Insight], [Abyss Protection Charm], [Lord's Bait], [Abyss Disguise Mask]...
After a series of purchases, a total of 2645 million points were spent, leaving more than 1000 million points remaining.
Ye Chuyun looked at the dazzling array of new items in the storage space, her eyes gleaming with ambition.
"Third level of the abyss, this time I'm going to go all out!"
He timed his return perfectly and returned to the entrance of the abyss.
Just then, the third floor opened, and I stepped inside.
A crimson wasteland, three blood moons, twisted mountains, and a colossal, chilling shadow.
An even more terrifying scene unfolded before us.
Ye Chuyun landed steadily and immediately put on the [Abyss Disguise Mask]. Her aura became obscure and cold, blending into the abyss environment.
He cautiously observed his surroundings.
"First, find a secluded spot, use an Insight Scroll to find out the surrounding area, then choose a good location and test the effect of the Lord's Bait."
"At the same time, we need to find clues about that stone fragment..."
Ye Chuyun scanned the area and quickly locked onto a region composed of countless dark crystals.
These interlocking crystals form natural shelters and labyrinths, and their energy fluctuations are relatively chaotic, which can interfere with most exploration.
He quietly slipped into the depths of the crystal forest and found a recessed area surrounded by three tall crystal walls.
After confirming that there was no life activity in the surrounding area for the time being, he took out a [Scroll of Abyss Insight].
The scroll was made from the skin of some kind of creature, and it felt cold to the touch. Intricate runes were drawn on it with dark gold blood.
Ye Chuyun infused a wisp of magic power into it, activating it.
The scroll burned silently, transforming into a spreading dark golden halo that rapidly swept across an area of nearly a hundred miles around him.
Wherever the halo passed, a flood of information rushed into his mind, forming a three-dimensional map in his consciousness.
[Insight successful. Detailed map of the southeastern region of the Dark Crystal Wasteland obtained. Valid for 24 hours.]
Danger zone, marked with three skull symbols.
One is a blood pool filled with highly poisonous and corrosive blood mist; another is a canyon inhabited by a large number of abyssal vengeful spirits and spiritual monsters; and the last is an abyssal lord whose aura has reached the spirit level.
The resource points include several mineral veins where high-quality energy crystals can be collected, a blood spring that can be used to refine special toxins or cursed materials (but it's a bit dangerous), and a suspected ruin with unknown information.
There is also a special mark.
On the edge of the map, near the canyon, there is a marker that looks like a broken stone tablet, with a line of small text next to it.
The annotation states that this place is suspected to be related to ancient taboos, extremely dangerous, and should be avoided.
"This broken stone tablet mark..." Ye Chuyun's heart stirred, and she immediately thought of the mysterious stone fragment in the Shadow Spirit Lord's storage bag.
The message on the stone tablet reads "The path to the bottom of the abyss, the eternal prison, a fragment of the key," while the map marker reads "Ancient taboo."
Is there a connection between the two?
"It seems that the canyon is a place we must explore." Ye Chuyun noted the location down.
But he didn't set off immediately; his top priority was to improve his rating and points.
The Abyss Lord, who possesses Spirit-level cultivation, is clearly a good target.
"However, before going to cause trouble for the lord, let's try out the effects of the new talent first." Ye Chuyun's lips curled slightly.
His mental energy surged, and five "illusory creatures" of different shapes appeared beside him.
