After getting an affirmative answer from Chen Rui, the voice sounded again, "There is only 1 content of the test, survive! Failure means real death. "
As soon as the voice sounded, the scene changed again and became a huge volcanic cave.
Boiling blood-red lava could be seen everywhere. In the terrifying high temperature, the vision became distorted, and the hot air was filled with suffocating oppression.
The fiery red made Chen Rui squint his eyes a little unaccustomed. He had an intuition that this scene did not seem to be a simple illusion, but it actually had a sense of reality. Once he died here, his entire consciousness would be erased, which was equivalent to real death.
What the voice said was not an alarmist statement.
What was even more strange was that he could sense the existence of the Super System in his body, but he couldn't use any skills or power as if his mind was isolated by some special power. In other words, he could only use his own strength of the early stage of the Demon Emperor.
This cave was very large. The height alone was hundreds of meters. Chen Rui didn't know what danger was waiting for him in front. He could only use his power to resist the high temperature. He stepped on the hot black rocks and carefully walked forward step by step.
The temperature was getting higher and higher. Even the defense of the Demon Emperor could hardly stand it. He was sweating all over. If he stayed in this environment for a long time, his body would suffer irrecoverable damage.
Chen Rui's gaze fell on the lava area not far away, and his pupils suddenly contracted. There was something floating above it.
A red flower.
The petals were like clear crystals, but they were by no means dead. They had real vitality. They bloomed in this kind of magma that could melt everything, but they were not affected by the high temperature at all. Instead, they became more and more delicate. To be more precise, they were coquettish.
The strange charm exuded by the red flower. If he didn't use his spirit power to resist, his mind would be completely lost in it and unable to extricate himself.
It was not the first time that Chen Rui saw this kind of flower. He had seen the same flower in the mysterious cave under the Crystal Valley. After he used the [Star Gate] to escape the danger by chance, the flower appeared in his hands without anyone noticing. Later, in the Bloody Empire's Mountain Seckred, this flower even moved the Demi-God powerhouse, Satan. Its name was the Flower of Abyss!
Chen Rui once asked Rolla, but even the knowledgeable fairy dragon had never heard of the name Flower of Abyss. Now, the Flower of Abyss had appeared in front of him again in the inheritance trial scene of the ancient alchemy civilization. There must be a huge unknown secret hidden in it.
What surprised Chen Rui even more was that there was more than one Flower of Abyss. As he moved forward, the number of beautiful flowers that appeared in his sight gradually increased, two, three …
Chen Rui instinctively felt that he seemed to be getting closer and closer to a certain goal of the trial, or perhaps it could be said that he was getting closer and closer to some great danger.
There were bursts of roars coming from the cave ahead. Creatures that he had never seen before appeared in front of him. These creatures were about the size of imps. They had sharp claws, thin limbs, and exaggerated mouths that occupied half of their faces. The two rows of protruding fangs looked particularly ugly.
Since he couldn't use the Super System's skills, Chen Rui couldn't use [Analytical Eyes] to detect the opponent's race or strength, but the Demon Emperor level perception was still there. These monsters were strong and weak. The strongest was estimated to be around the Demon King level, and the weakest had the strength of Higher Demon. They exuded a fierce and brutal breath. They didn't retreat in fear because of Chen Rui's Demon Emperor level strength. Instead, they rushed over fiercely.
There were a lot of these little monsters. They didn't seem to be afraid of the temperature of the magma, and their jumping ability was very amazing. The one at the front jumped more than 10 meters and pounced on him. Before it touched Chen Rui, its limbs were already shattered. Chen Rui punched with both fists, and none of the monsters that rushed up were spared.
The monsters at the back did not have the slightest fear or retreat because of the death of their companions. Instead, they were even more ferocious. At this time, the nearby Flower of Abyss was affected by some force and burst open. A red mist with a powerful breath wrapped the surrounding little monsters.
The bodies of those little monsters began to twist and swell, turning into two meters tall, red, and ferocious-looking strong monsters. The fierce breath of these monsters was stronger, and their strength had also undergone a qualitative leap. Many of them even reached the Great Demon King level, and they had the new ability to spray high-temperature fireballs from their mouths.
The pressure faced by Chen Rui suddenly increased. The monsters that could be easily crushed with one punch in the past could only be killed with two or three concentrated punches now. Moreover, the opponent's counterattack was also quite sharp. The continuous fireballs bombarded him made him feel overwhelmed.
If it was a dozen Great Demon King monsters, even without the Super System, he could easily destroy them. However, there were nearly a thousand monsters in front of him. There were hundreds of mutated Great Demon Kings. They were advancing wave after wave without fear of death.
As the saying went, many ants could kill an elephant. After a long time, the wounds on Chen Rui, who was surrounded, also began to increase. In this trial world, not only the Super System, but also the original passive attributes and equipment on his body were useless.
The speed of the surrounding monsters suddenly slowed down, and their abilities in all aspects were also declining rapidly. Some even killed each other. It turned out that Chen Rui had already activated the power of [Autumn Territory]. All the enemies in the territory would be weakened, aged, and attached with various negative statuses.
After the previous battle, Chen Rui realized that the key point of these mutated monsters was their heads. His fists were like lightning. Wherever he passed, the monsters' heads exploded and died. After clearing the most threatening enemies around him. Chen Rui punched again and hit the monster five meters away. There seemed to be some kind of turbulent power ripple in his sight. The bodies of dozens of small monsters and mutated monsters in the fan-shaped area were torn apart at the same time, and the severed limbs were flying everywhere.
This wasn't the skill of the Super System, but the overlapping force that Chen Rui realized from the surfy sea training. Usually, it was at most contained in the fist to attack directly. It rarely broke out of his body and released it in the air like it did today.
Generally speaking, Demon King-level and Great Demon King-level powerhouses already had the ability to release energy and launch long-range attacks such as shock waves. Chen Rui had reached the Demon Emperor level, so this form of attack was naturally not a problem. It was just that the skills that came with the Super System were more powerful, and the power consumption was less. The lethality and assurance in the battle were greater, so it was rarely used in actual combat. It was only used as a skill training program to control power during training.
For these Great Demon King and Demon King enemies, the lethality of the overlapping force was still quite commendable, but the power consumption was relatively greater. This situation was more obvious when he lost the passive attributes of [Astral Form] and [Damage Absorption]. Chen Rui immediately changed the power of the territory. The [Autumn Territory] that weakened and attached negative statuses became a strange force field.
The force field was full of strange crisscrossing forces. Even the monsters who were not afraid of high temperature felt an unusual heat and anxiety. Most of the attacks launched were melted and absorbed by this strange force field and transformed into Chen Rui's own power.
Chen Rui's attack at this time had already carried the unique soul damage of the [Summer Territory], and the soul power was the weakness of the monsters. Under the fierce attack of the overlapping force, the number of monsters that came one after another decreased sharply. Finally, they were all gone.
The distorted force field gradually turned into a green breeze. Even the suffocating heat of the karst cave could not engulf this fresh and comfortable coolness. It was not until the injuries on Chen Rui's body gradually recovered that the breeze disappeared.
After Chen Rui used the [Spring Territory] to heal his injuries, he retracted the territory power. He ignored the heat and fell to the ground panting. He used all his trump cards just now to eliminate these terrifying monsters. He consumed a lot of power, but at the same time, the harvest was not small.
The overlapping force of [Broken Body] was not that great when he was training. Now that he used it in this group combat, he found that there were many places that needed to be improved. The power could be improved, and the consumption could also be reduced correspondingly. If the improvement was successful, it would be a new combat skill that was not inferior to the Super System.
In terms of the territory, in addition to some details that needed to be perfected, the flaws had also become obvious, which was the attack. Whether it was the [Autumn Territory] or the [Summer Territory], they were mainly auxiliary and lacked real lethality. In fact, Chen Rui had been thinking about this problem before. In his imagination, the last kind of [Winter Territory] was a territory that targeted this flaw.
At present, the general "framework" of the [Winter Territory] was almost complete, but it still lacked the most important "soul". This was because this kind of territory was separated from the existence of the Super System, so he couldn't sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. He must comprehend it himself.
After recovering for a while, Chen Rui set foot on the road again. The number of Flowers of Abyss gradually increased, and more and more enemies were encountered. Not only these little monsters, but there were also more difficult unknown monsters. This kind of monster had curved horns on its head. It was strong and tall. Its eyes were burning with a flame-like red light. There were sharp bone spurs on its arms and shoulders. Its appearance was somewhat similar to the battle form of the Great Demon, but it was more terrifying and ferocious. Its light black skin revealed a flame-like red light. Its power was extremely violent. The whole thing was a killing machine.
The monster had a higher level of wisdom and bloodline, so it could command the little monsters to attack. Chen Rui already understood the terrifying role of the [Flower of Abyss]. These horned monsters were currently only at the Great Demon King level. Once they accepted the power of the [Flower of Abyss], then it was possible to increase to the Demon Emperor level. Of course, the effect of the [Flower of Abyss] was not endless. After the buff effect, it would fall into a certain period of weakness.
Chen Rui's tactic was to stay away from the range of the [Flower of Abyss] as much as possible. He would use the combination of 3 territories to kill the horned monsters with the greatest threat at all costs first, then he would deal with those little monsters. In case he couldn't avoid the [Flower of Abyss], he would try to use delaying tactics and wait until the buff effect was over before killing the enemy.
In this trial world, there was only the consumption of power. There was no feeling of hunger or thirst. Despite the great physical consumption, Chen Rui was still able to persist. Under the continuous killing and training, the use of the [Overlapping Force] became more and more proficient. Another mysterious feeling also became faintly clear, but he still couldn't figure out the key for a while.
"Roar!"
At the same time that Chen Rui had a warning sign, a roar also sounded in the wide tunnel ahead. A group of strong horned monsters driving thousands of little monsters appeared in his sight. The red light in the eyes of the tallest horned monster was far better than its peers. It seemed to have the mutated elite power.
Chen Rui's expression suddenly changed because the mutated horned monster was holding a [Flower of Abyss] in its hand. Its fierce eyes locked on him tightly with a hideous smile on its face.
The [Flower of Abyss] suddenly burst open. Several nearby monsters roared at the same time and began to mutate. Their bodies did not expand too much, but the red light in their bodies shone more brightly. Their curved horns, bone spurs, and limbs burned with a manic flame at the same time. Their breath suddenly doubled.
Chen Rui felt that the [Flower of Abyss]'s buff and effective number of horned monsters were weaker than the previous little monsters. It seemed that the mutation's buff was not unlimited. Even so, these horned monsters that had reached or were close to the Demon Emperor level were not what he could compete with in his current state. Not only that, the rest of the horned monsters also began to use the [Flower of Abyss]. The monsters whose strength had skyrocketed surged toward Chen Rui like a tide.
Chen Rui turned around and ran without hesitation. Are you kidding me? Under this disparity in strength, any tactics are useless. It's more important to escape first.
The mutated elite monster was powerful and followed him closely. The flaming bone spur on its shoulder suddenly shot out like a sharp arrow. Chen Rui dodged half a beat slower, and his left shoulder was penetrated by the bone spur. He felt that the flame was burning the tissue near the wound like magma. His blood was quickly evaporated, and even his bones were almost turned into ashes under this high temperature.
The injured Chen Rui suddenly slowed down. He suddenly turned around and punched. Seven huge wave-like surging energy hit the approaching elite monster. The monster's chest suddenly had a concave fist mark, and its body flew backward. Along the way, there was a flaming juice spilling, but it stood firm and did not suffer a fatal injury.
This action made his speed even slower. In the blink of an eye, Chen Rui was surrounded by his pursuers. Those monsters were very cunning. They did not attack directly. Instead, they urged the mutated monsters to besiege Chen Rui desperately while they hid at the side and waited for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Chen Rui knew that he could only fight with his life now. He made up his mind, endured the pain, pulled out the bone spur, held it in his hand as a weapon, and rushed toward the group of monsters.
In the almost numb battle, all his moves were used. Attack, defense, and dodging were almost instinctively completed. The closer he was to the edge of life and death, the deeper the strange feeling was. As long as he grasped this feeling and continued to comprehend it, he would be able to truly master it. Unfortunately, Chen Rui could not wait until this moment because his injuries were extremely serious. His strength was on the verge of collapse, and he was about to be completely drowned by the tide of monsters.
The rock wall at the top of the cave suddenly began to tremble. Stalagmites kept falling. Suddenly, a big hole appeared with a loud bang.
A black shadow fell from the hole rapidly, shaking the entire tunnel. This was a huge humanoid figure with a height of about 10 meters. Its whole body was made of dark golden metal, and its eyes glowed with light blue light. It was taller than the Asmodeus Royal Family's [War Puppet]. Its appearance was somewhat similar to the mobile armor described in the fantasy novels of another plane in Chen Rui's memory.
As soon as this giant mecha stepped on the ground, several small monsters who couldn't dodge in time were suddenly trampled into meat sauce. The huge palm opened, and a cannon barrel appeared in the center. A golden beam of light shot out. Wherever it passed, the monsters were all turned into ashes.
Black shadows continuously fell from the hole above. It was a kind of demonic beast with a crystal clear body. This reminded Chen Rui of the crystal man inexplicably, then another familiar character appeared: Lamp spirits!
A lamp spirit came to Chen Rui's side, reached out, and a white light fell on his body. His injuries began to heal quickly.
This lamp spirit said something to Chen Rui, but unfortunately, Chen Rui now lost the Super System's skills, so he couldn't understand what it said. It was certain that these lamp spirits, crystal demonic beasts, and the huge mecha were not enemies.
