Chapter 276 Ch 276: End Of Second Trial

╠ The Abyss ╣

Alex was standing in a vast land shrouded in darkness, but the darkness was not enough to completely blind people. There was still enough light for people to at least see a few meters in front of them.

But the demons born in darkness could live here as though they were living under the sun, they could see everything.

When Alex entered this land, he found it difficult to move forward, however, with the help of his Divine Sense, he was able to sense more than a thousand miles of land in a radius around him.

And with that, he started slaughtering demons, devouring their blood into Abyssal Pearl, using the blood energy to refine his blood vessels and strengthened his body. At the same time, the leftover blood energy was further refined by him with the help of his cultivation technique, extracting the spirit energy from them that was used to increase his cultivation base.

Because of him, the entire abyss became the land of death. Corpses could be seen everywhere, but only a few places were splashed with blood.

Other than that, all corpses were dried up.

Alex could not even count how many Celestial-ranked Demons he had killed. In the end, the main boss appeared in front of him

That was the Holy Lord Stage Demon.

Because Alex had slaughtered too many demons, almost emptying the Abyss, he had to appear in front of Alex to confront him.

Unfortunately, he appeared too late.

When Alex had just entered the Abyss, if he had appeared, he might have been able to take down Alex. But after devouring countless demons, Alex's cultivation has long broken through to the Holy Lord Stage. In fact, he was only half a step away from becoming a Divine Lord Stage martial warrior.

With just a simple punch, he killed the Holy Lord Stage demon.

And just as he was about to continue massacring, he felt the space around him rippling, and the next moment, he found himself standing in the Mouth of Abyss once again.

Alex was shocked. He could not understand how he was teleported back here.

But before he could understand anything, he felt dazed and lost consciousness.

The next moment he opened his eyes, he found himself in a familiar yet unfamiliar space.

Looking around, Alex discovered that he has woken up in his original body and was inside the stone room, and Atticus was standing right in front of him, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations on passing the Second Trial!" Atticus smiled when he saw Alex waking up and nodded at him.

Alex also came back to his senses. He looked around first before asking: "How long has it been?"

"About a year... No, there is still one month left before it'll be a year!"

Alex received his answer from Atticus!

"What? How could it be so long? It only took a few days for the first trial, but this time..." Alex was shocked.

Fortunately, there was still one month left. Otherwise, if his master wanted to bring him out of the secret space, he would be overwhelmed to realize that Alex was not inside the secret space but has somehow disappeared.

At that time, who knows how his master would have reacted!

Alex took a deep breath and tried to calm down. At the same time, he looked at Atticus, waiting for an answer. But Atticus did not answer him. Instead, he spoke: "You have passed the Second Trial completely, and here is your reward!"

As he spoke, he pointed a finger at Alex's forehead. Immediately, a ray of light was shot out from his finger and entered Alex's mind. The next instant, a surge of a lot of information appeared in his mind.

Alex closed his eyes for a while before opening them. A look of excitement flashed in his eyes as he muttered: "The second and third layer of Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation!"

Atticus nodded and spoke again: "This time, the trial was about changing the fate of the human race in that world. You succeeded in doing so, otherwise, the fate of that world was the complete destruction of humanity."

"You even entered the abyss and slaughtered almost all the demons there. It could be said that you have perfectly passed the Second Trial. That's why I've decided to give you an extra reward!"

"Extra reward?" Alex's eyes flashed when he heard this. He looked at Atticus expectantly. Since Atticus was the strongest being in the entire universe, the reward from him should not be of lower grade.

Atticus nodded when he saw the excitement in Alex's eyes. Then he spoke: "I'll give you three options. Choose one of them."

"The first, Complete cultivation base you have cultivated to in the Land of Trial!"

"The second, Abyssal Pearl!"

"The Third, Life & Death Sword!"

"Choose any one of the rewards!"

As Atticus spoke, he waved his hand, causing a sphere of condensed energy, a spherical pearl, and a long sword to appear. These three were the corresponding reward options.

Alex was shocked again. He could not help but take a deep breath this time. He looked at Atticus speechlessly. For a moment, he did not know what to say.

He could not understand how Atticus did this. He could not even fathom what method Atticus used to bring the Abyssal Pearl and Life & Death Sword here!

When he calmed down slightly, he asked: "Is this real? How could you give me something that only existed in the land of trial? Not to mention, the complete cultivation base I cultivated back in that world. How could it be possible?"

"Little guy, you are too weak to know what is possible and what is not!"

"Although sealed, I'm still the strongest person in the entire Universe. I could still do countless things that no one could even think of. Not to mention, giving out these rewards."

"Hurry up and choose!"

Alex took a deep breath and excitedly looked over the three options for rewards.

Strictly speaking, he was in need of a strong cultivation base, for his enemy should be about to enter this world. At that time, he would need the cultivation base of at least a Celestial Phenomenon Stage martial warrior to deal with that enemy.

And if he followed common sense, he could only receive one reward.

However, Alex has the system. If he wants, he could replicate treasures easily. All it would cost is his soul force!

Alex immediately looked at the attribute panel of the three treasures in front of him. Now that he was back in his original body, he could use the system again.

Three status panels immediately appeared in front of him, revealing the details of three treasures!

[Name: Sphere of Condensed Spirit Energy.

Details: A treasure created by manipulating the spirit energy of heaven and earth. In this sphere, there is enough energy for even a mortal to raise their cultivation base to the extreme Holy Lord Stage.]

[Name: Abyssal Pearl.

Grade: Divine (World Treasure).

Detail: A treasure naturally born in the depth of the Shattered Dark Abyss fallen from the sky. The Abyssal Pearl could devour the blood of all targeted living beings and convert them into pure Blood Energy that could strengthen a martial warrior's body, bloodline, and even cultivation base.]

[Name: Life & Death Sword.

Grade: Top Grade Celestial Rank.

Detail: In ancient times when a world gave birth to numerous lives, a person titled Lord of Numinous Treasures rose in strength. Upon just advancing to the Divine Lord Stage, Lord of Numinous Treasure forged a sword using the core of Nine Lives Tree, Crystal of Spirituality, & Star Iron imbued with the deathly aura that could only appear when an entire civilization is annihilated.

Life & Death Sword could assist a person to comprehend the Law of Life and Death. At the same time, the more people this sword kills, the stronger it will grow by devouring the remaining life force and deathly aura produced by people upon their death!]

Alex was shocked.

Yes, he truly was shocked. He never expected these three treasures to be this valuable.

All along, he knew that Life & Death Sword was a Top Grade Celestial Ranked Weapon. However, he never knew that the Life & Death Sword could help a person comprehend the Law of Life and Death, and at the same time, it could grow stronger.

It is no wonder when he was massacring, he could feel his strength growing much stronger than it should have been.

It turned out that the extra strength was coming from the Life & Death Sword.

He was also shocked when he saw the details of the Sphere of Condensed Spirit Energy.

It turned out that Atticus actually manipulated the spirit energy of heaven and earth before producing this sphere of energy.

He could not fathom how Atticus did it.

Is it so easy to create something like this out of nowhere if one is the strongest being in the entire Universe?

Alex's strength was not that high, so he could not understand. But it seems that this is true!
