Two thousand three hundred...
Two thousand nine hundred...
In the blink of an eye, over three thousand peak Second Order Magma Apes appeared before Su Yufeng, and the rate at which their numbers increased showed no signs of slowing down.
“No, I must strike first.”
“Even without environmental buffs, the power, defense, and speed of these peak Second Order Magma Apes all exceed 2500.”
“Once these Magma Apes catch up, my current physique and defense won't be able to withstand them at all.”
Su Yufeng’s expression changed slightly upon seeing this, only managing to collect most of the peak First Order otherworld crystals scattered on the ground.
He rapidly absorbed the pure Source Power stored within them, doing his best to recover his condition.
There was no time to collect the more distant otherworld crystals, especially those shimmering with purple light.
Since the apocalypse descended, it was the first time he had felt such an intense sense of crisis; the threat of death enveloped his entire being.
The only thing he could be grateful for was that the volcanic environment he was in had disappeared, replaced by dense thickets and undulating hills.
Even if the peak Second Order Magma Apes were extremely fast, they would still be significantly affected.
He was almost certain that this professional trial assessment was nearing its end.
But wasn't this assessment a bit too difficult? How many peak Second Order otherworld crystals, which surpassed him by an entire major realm, could he kill?
“A peak First Order human?”
“Kill him!”
The peak Second Order Magma Apes, each with a purple halo condensed around them, stared at Su Yufeng's location with a hint of confusion.
A thought suddenly appeared in their minds: kill this human.
It was as if this was their mission.
And so,
The peak Second Order Magma Apes, numbering over three thousand five hundred, all leaped up and charged towards Su Yufeng's location.
Each peak Second Order Magma Ape was like a ball of flame, instantly igniting the thickets blocking their path.
The dense thickets caught fire one after another, causing the surrounding temperature to continuously rise.
“Lava Fireball!”
Massive fireballs, each over two meters in diameter and carrying explosive Fire Attribute Source Energy, condensed above the heads of these peak Second Order Magma Apes.
Like meteors falling from the sky, they completely sealed off the space around Su Yufeng, leaving no room for escape.
“So fast!”
Su Yufeng’s reaction was naturally not slow; not far from him was an uneven hill, with a depression between two connected hills.
He pushed off with his legs and ran at full speed, seeing the Lava Fireballs rapidly descending from above, he slid and dove into the deep gully between the hills.
From the outside, this deep gully looked more like a natural trench.
“Rumble…”
Large numbers of Lava Fireballs exploded like missiles from the mundane world, causing the entire ground to shake.
The hills were almost flattened by thousands of Lava Fireballs, with deep craters everywhere and gravel splattering.
“Whoosh whoosh!!”
Just as the terrifying energy unleashed by the Lava Fireballs was about to engulf Su Yufeng's body...
A massive Devouring Vortex condensed, frantically devouring the explosive energy heading towards Su Yufeng.
Most of his internal Source Power was instantly depleted.
The Devouring Vortex only managed to devour a small portion of the incoming energy before it was forced to dissipate.
Even though Su Yufeng was hiding in the deep gully and avoided most of the attacks, he was still severely wounded in the instant explosion.
This was also due to equipping the B-grade talent Fire Attribute Affinity, which immune him to some Fire Attribute Source attacks.
“Hahahaha… I’m not dead yet?”
“Does this assessment require me to kill as many peak Second Order Magma Apes as possible before I die?”
“Then I don’t need to retain any sanity.”
“Kill!”
Su Yufeng watched his skin crack, intense pain radiating from all over his body.
His bloody and mangled flesh caused his eyes to gradually turn blood-red and filled with malevolence, a frantic flame rising in his heart.
With a thought,
The Berserker Gauntlets were worn on his palms, and the C-grade talent Berserk Power was activated!
C-grade talent Berserk Power: Activating this talent allows one to temporarily enter a berserk state. In the berserk state, all attributes are increased by 10% and pain is ignored, but sanity will be temporarily lost!
Berserker Gauntlets Equipment Trait: Berserker (Your strength growth will be directly proportional to the degree of sanity loss)!
The moment Berserk Power was activated, Su Yufeng felt all pain from his body completely vanish, and his strength, speed, physique, and defense steadily increased from their original bases.
The Berserker Gauntlets in Su Yufeng's hand began to flash with an incredibly eerie evil light, this evil light forming powerful berserker factors that began to increase his strength.
Temporarily losing all sanity and completely falling into a berserk state, Su Yufeng activated all the berserker factors within the Berserker Gauntlets.
The trait of the Berserk Ring was simultaneously activated!
At this moment, the strength value displayed on the game panel began to skyrocket!
3750… 3899…
4666…
Until a full 5000!!!
Su Yufeng, who only had peak First Order cultivation, under the combined amplification of three different traits, instantly increased his strength to the maximum value that a Second Order Source Nurturing Realm could achieve!
“Die… all of you must die…”
Su Yufeng let out a series of roars, his eyes only seeing the massive number of peak Second Order Magma Apes!
“A gravely wounded, dying human? Are you worthy of making us die?”
“Hahaha… ridiculous!”
The few peak Second Order Magma Apes closest to Su Yufeng heard his voice and couldn't help but sneer.
However, the next second,
The smiles on the faces of the few peak Second Order Magma Apes froze, an bone-chilling pain sweeping through their bodies.
Su Yufeng had appeared before them at some unknown point, and with just a gaze, their flesh was engulfed by a ball of pitch-black flame.
“No…”
These few peak Second Order Magma Apes only managed to let out a mournful cry before their entire bodies were completely annihilated into the air by the Destruction Flame.
“Die… all must die…”
A hoarse murmur came from Su Yufeng’s mouth.
“Who dies? Playing tricks!”
The hundreds of peak Second Order Magma Apes nearby had just heard his voice and were about to pounce on him.
But then they saw Su Yufeng swing his fists without hesitation, a massive black fist print suddenly condensing, containing the Power of Destruction that could annihilate all defenses.
Coupled with his strength that almost exceeded the Second Order limit, it erupted in an instant.
The dozens of peak Second Order Magma Apes enveloped by the fist print felt a deathly aura engulf them before they could even prepare any defense.
“Boom!!!”
The bodies of these peak Second Order Magma Apes were struck by the Dark Shadow Fist print, their flesh instantly bursting open!
Su Yufeng was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, frantically slaughtering these peak Second Order Magma Apes.
Under the enhancement of extreme strength, almost no peak Second Order Magma Ape could withstand his attacks.
The sporadic Lava Fireballs falling from the sky were even shattered by his single punch, scattering as sparks.
“Ding, Host has successfully harmed a large number of peak Second Order Magma Apes, Strength permanently increased +1+1+1+…”
【 Congratulations to the Host for successfully Plundering the Fire Attribute Affinity (B-grade) talent! 】
【 Detection shows the Host has already Plundered the same talent; this talent will temporarily remain in the system space! 】
......
System prompts flashed frantically.
But Su Yufeng, in his berserk state, paid no attention. He now had only one thought in his mind: to slaughter all living creatures before him!
In just half a minute, over five hundred peak Second Order Magma Apes died violently by his hands.
Su Yufeng's strength value surged again; his terrifying power had already completely surpassed the Second Order limit, entering the Three-Realm Origin Stage category.
Especially under the amplification of the Power of Destruction, as long as his basic attributes increased, his strength would soar in a straight line.
“Boom!!!”
Every time Su Yufeng threw a punch, a sonic boom echoed in the air.
This caused the space around him to ripple slightly, and the peak Second Order Magma Apes that appeared before him instantly exploded into countless fragments.
They became the impetus for Su Yufeng's strength growth.
“Don't get close to this human!!!”
“Let's all cast lava burst bow and turn him completely into ashes!!”
The numerous peak Second Order Magma Apes that had just formed trembled when they saw their companions violently blasted apart by Su Yufeng.
However, as a highly intelligent race among the otherworld species, they also discovered Su Yufeng's weakness.
This human in front of them seemed to have lost his sanity, only knowing how to charge recklessly with his powerful strength.
He was completely a brute!!!
As long as they gathered enough lava burst bow, they could easily drown him.
No matter how strong that human's power was, he couldn't survive under a vast quantity of lava.
What's more, that human had already reached his limit.
“That's right, let's gather lava burst bow together!”
“Our mission is to kill this human; nothing else matters.”
The shouts of those few peak Second Order Magma Apes were heard clearly by the thousand-plus Magma Apes gathered around them.
Without wasting time, these peak Second Order Magma Apes, who were extremely far from Su Yufeng, channeled all their Source Power into their palms.
Sparks ignited from their Chi Hong fur, and nearly two thousand lava burst bow instantly condensed before them.
These lava burst bow streaked across the sky in an instant, engulfing Su Yufeng within a hundred-meter radius, including the Magma Apes within that hundred-meter range.
Even a Three-Realm Origin Stage expert would undoubtedly die facing so many peak Second Order lava burst bow.
Su Yufeng had just punched and killed dozens of peak Second Order Magma Apes in front of him when he suddenly looked up and found the sky a fiery red.
“Rumble......”
The lava burst bow in the air were like a crimson downpour; thousands of degrees of high temperature, along with the violent Fire Attribute Affinity, surged together.
Deafening explosions echoed within the space.
Su Yufeng's figure was completely submerged by the lava burst bow.
His Demonic Ox Armor had already been damaged in previous battles, and now facing these thousands of lava burst bow, it emitted a crisp shattering sound, instantly incinerated by the high temperature.
The Mad Demon Gauntlets and Berserk Ring in his hands both shattered.
Su Yufeng, who had been in a berserk state, regained a sliver of clarity at this moment.
Am I going to die?
No!!!
Su Yufeng gritted his teeth, a strong will to survive erupted from him, and the last remaining Source Power in his body surged into the Devouring Vortex deep in his mind.
“Devour!”
“Devour!!”
“Devour!!!”
Su Yufeng roared, a huge Devouring Vortex appeared above his head, forcibly devouring the erupting Fire Attribute Affinity energy around him.
The Source of Destruction condensed in his Dantian rotated, and the Power of Destruction filled every part of his body.
He used his last ounce of strength, frantically charging towards the area where the most peak Second Order Magma Apes were gathered.
His body began to swell rapidly.
In his desperation, Su Yufeng directly sent his crippled body into the midst of the peak Second Order Magma Ape horde and suddenly self-detonated.
“Boom......”
A roar.
The extremely overbearing Power of Destruction exploded along with Su Yufeng's body, contaminating all peak Second Order Magma Apes within several hundred meters around him.
“No!!!”
“What kind of power is this? How could it......”
The Magma Apes, contaminated with the Power of Destruction, stared with wide eyes, watching their bodies rapidly annihilate under the erosion of the Power of Destruction.
......
【 Final assessment successful!!! 】
【 The trialist has killed a total of two thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine peak Second Order Magma Apes! 】
【 Assessment rewards have been issued!!! 】
In a pure white space, Su Yufeng slowly opened his eyes, and a familiar prompt suddenly sounded in his ears.
Only this time, the voice contained a hint of surprise.
“Whoosh!”
Before Su Yufeng, a small mountain made of top-grade Second Order otherworld crystal appeared, along with three items glowing with a rich Chi Hong luster.
He looked closely and saw that they were two Second Order extraordinary quality Source Artifacts!
And an extraordinary skill book.
Common, Fine, Rare, and Excellent are the most common equipment qualities.
And above these, is Extraordinary!
Equipment that can reach Extraordinary quality has several times the Source Nurturing Realm attribute amplification of Excellent quality equipment, and also comes with a special secret technique.
Special techniques are different from special effects, but their effects vary greatly, and they don't even require Source Power to use.
Su Yufeng first looked at the two extraordinary quality equipment.
【 Target 】: Lava Secret Armor.
【 Rank 】: Second Order.
【 Quality 】: Extraordinary.
【 Profession 】: Unlimited (Constitution > 800, Strength > 900).
【 Attributes 】: Defense +1600, Fire Immunity +20!
【 Trait 】: Bathed in Fire (Flames accompany, incinerate all things, reborn from fire).
【 Special Skill 】: Lava (Can instantly cast four lava burst bow with power comparable to peak Second Order four times daily).
【 Remarks 】: This is an extraordinary-grade fire-element Source Nurturing Realm armor. Even if damaged, it can restore itself with flames. Its powerful defense amplification will make you fearless on the battlefield!
But to wear this heavy armor, you might not be qualified enough?
......
【 Target 】: lava burst bow.
【 Rank 】: Second Order.
【 Quality 】: Extraordinary.
【 Profession 】: Unlimited (Strength > 1500, Constitution > 800).
【 Attributes 】: Strength +1800, Fire Damage +100, Source Power +1000!

【 Special Skill 】: Sky-Shattering Fire Rain (Pulling the bowstring to full moon can unleash two hundred explosive arrows simultaneously, requires Source Energy to use).
【 Remarks 】: This is an extraordinary Source Artifact that does not require physical arrows. Enemies hit by its Source Energy arrows will rapidly burn Source Power.
The explosive flames attached to the arrows will continuously scorch the enemy's skin, making it difficult to remove.
......
“It's actually a blue-burning extraordinary bow and fire-element Source Nurturing Realm reduction armor!”
Su Yufeng quickly scanned the attributes of the two extraordinary equipment, and his eyes immediately lit up.
