A Comprehensive Network: An Endless Adventure Begins as a Wanderer

Chapter 92 The Ancestor's Seal May Be All-Encompassing

Cheng Yi didn't rush to find the monsters. Instead, he opened the panel and glanced at the information about the secret realm.

Shadow Realm: First Layer of Sealed Land - Abyss Level Limit: 5-9

Current Area: Desolate Rift Realm Basic Requirements: Clear Monsters (0/1000)

Current progress: 0/1000

Secret Realm Monsters: Abyss Invaders (massive numbers), Demonized Creatures (Current Plane Creatures/Contaminated Mutations) (massive numbers), Mutated Sealed Spirits (Sealed Mutations) (few numbers), Unknown number of Elite, Unknown Boss. Elite Occurrence Rate: 15% (Elite unit challenge level +1~2)

Boss Appearance Conditions: After every 200 monsters are cleared, a Demon Sealing Ground Boss will spawn in the center of the area (Challenge Level +3).

Special Mechanisms:

Shadow Resonance: When in a shadowy or dimly lit environment, all shadow-related skills are increased by 20%. Monsters also benefit from this bonus.

Spirit Capture and Command: Defeating mutated sealed spirits will increase the seal integrity (current seal integrity: 26.64%) and grant a temporary random buff.

Monster Frenzy: When the monster density in a region drops to a certain percentage, there is a chance to trigger a wave of invasion of foreign monsters (number 20~50), lasting for 10 minutes, during which the drop rate of treasure chests increases by 10%.

Time Limit: None Current Active Players in the Realm: 1

PS: In ancient times, disciples of the Dark Path were all at least fully trained in the Ten Thousand Kills realm; you're barely at that level. —An unknown remnant soul of a sealed spirit. PS: Don't try to clear it all in one go; be careful not to die suddenly in the dungeon. —Multi-Health Association

The unique mechanics of the secret realm are quite favorable to him.

But the abyss?

Wasn't it agreed that it would be a monster from the Shadow Realm?

Cheng Yi read through the previous description of the secret realm again and realized that he had been somewhat prejudiced.

The description of the secret realm reads, "A horde of demons emerged from beyond the heavens."

The monsters that invaded this world in ancient times probably came from various planes, perhaps from the abyss, hell, or the chaotic void, and so on.

The founder of the Dark Path used the power of shadow to wipe them all out and seal them in this secret realm.

Therefore, the seals of our ancestors may encompass everything.

"Awesome."

Cheng Yi sighed sincerely.

He glanced again at the requirement to eliminate 1000 monsters and remained silent for a moment.

One thousand.

Assuming an average of 1 point of image quality per unit, completing this layer would yield 1000 image quality.

Cheng Yi's eyes turned fervent.

But he quickly calmed down.

Even if each of the thousand monsters only takes ten seconds to kill, it would still take nearly three hours. Not to mention the time spent traveling, finding monsters, and dealing with elites and bosses.

"Take your time, it's not like you're in a rush to be reborn."

Then he didn't rush to move.

Cheng Yi first cast an evasion spell to detect it.

A white light spread from his palm, covering his entire body, and then quickly disappeared.

Even with all his buffs active, he's still completely invisible to detection magic.

Then, a shadow spread from beneath his feet, like an invisible door.

Deep within the shadow realm, several dark figures silently emerged.

First up are the three kobold shadow shamans.

They were covered in dark shadows, and the bone staffs in their hands were corroded by shadows, with the tips of the staffs shimmering with a dark purple light.

Then came Kuramanu, the Shadow Dragonvein Warlock who stepped out of the Shadowlands, dark red flames burning silently in the gaps between his scales.

The three shamans simultaneously raised their bone staffs, and dark purple light surged from the tips of the staffs, weaving into intricate patterns that entered Cheng Yi's body.

You have gained the Haste spell effect.

You have received the blessing effect.

You have gained the effect of the Sanctuary spell.

Cheng Yi felt the power surging within him and nodded in satisfaction.

He then looked at Kuramanu.

"You follow behind me and take care of the regular monsters. Leave the elites and bosses to me."

Kuramanu's dark eyes flickered, and he nodded silently.

Cheng Yi disappeared into the shadows.

Four dark figures simultaneously sank into the shadow beneath his feet, leaving only a few faint dark marks.

Cheng Yi headed deeper into the wilderness.

Cheng Yi plunged his sword into the gap in the scales on the back of the Abyss Demon Lizard's neck, the blade precisely piercing through the lizard's brain.

The lizard's body suddenly stiffened, without even twitching, and it remained completely still.

[You have killed an 8th-level elite Abyssal Lizard, gaining 200 kill experience points and 3 Shadow Qualities.]

Behind him, Kuramanu silently swept past, burning several disturbed demonized goblins not far away to ashes.

The dark red flames left almost no trace under the crimson skylight; only a few muffled "poof" sounds proved their existence.

[Your Shadow Servant Kuramanu has killed 3 Level 5 Enchanted Goblins. You have gained 90 Kill Experience and 1.5 Shadow Qualities.]

Cheng Yi didn't turn back and continued forward.

At this moment, his Shadow Legion's Shadow Realm capacity was already full.

The other shadow minions were slaughtering monsters on their own on the other side.

Fully automated operation. (not really)

Three shamans applied buffs in the shadows, while Kuramanu finished them off from behind.

The newly acquired Shadow Lizards and remnants of sealed spirits hunted down on their own at a greater distance.

The entire operation is automated. Cheng Yi just needs to move forward. If he encounters an elite monster, he will kill it with a single sword strike. He won't even bother to look at ordinary monsters; Kuramanu will handle them.

[Your Shadow Servant, the Shadow Lizard, has slain a Level 6 Chaos Shadowbat. You have gained 40 Kill Experience and 1 Shadow Essence.]

[Your Shadow Servant - Sealed Spirit Remnant has killed a Level 5 Demonic Goblin. You have gained 30 Kill Experience and 0.5 Shadow Qualities.]

The kill notifications on the panel scrolled like a flowing stream.

Cheng Yi glanced at the progress bar, which was just over 1300. At this rate, he could finish the first floor in another two or three hours.

He leaned against a stone tablet for a few seconds, waiting for Kuramanu to burn the group of demonized gnolls in front of him clean before continuing deeper into the wasteland.

The crimson sunlight shone on the cracked black stone ground. In the distance, several larvae of the fire demon were roasting something by the lava pool. Cheng Yi was too lazy to take a detour, so he crept over from the shadows and killed them one by one with three sword strikes.

Just as Cheng Yi sent away the three Flame Demon larvae, the ground began to shake violently.

[Network Notification: 200 monsters have been eliminated; the boss has appeared.]

A larger crack appeared in the ground in the center of the wasteland, and dark red frost gushed out like a fountain, condensing and twisting in the air.

A group of dark figures rose from the frost at great speed, carrying with them an intense chill.

It has no physical form, or rather, its physical form is that billowing cloud of cold smoke, within which one can vaguely see countless distorted faces screaming silently.

[Level 10 Abyss Wraith Cluster/Abyss Invading Species/Elite Boss Template/Frost Enhancement]

Cheng Yi smiled.

Although the swarm of monsters was extremely effective against him, but—

"Frost Wraith? Kuramanu, attack!"

The Shadow Dragon Vein Warlock emerged from his shadow, raised his staff, and a black and red fireball burst forth, directly engulfing most of the swarm of vengeful spirits!

Shadow-Specialized Enhanced Fireball!

Back in the day, I was a master of matching Pokémon types!
