Sometimes challenges where you can’t die can be more difficult than those where you can.
Because you won’t truly die, Heavenly Dao might set even more extreme difficulties.
Chen Mo hoped this Trial Tower wasn’t like that.
Otherwise, that would be incredibly frustrating. Original content can be found at novelꜰire.net
As Chen Mo confirmed, the surrounding scene transformed, and he found himself inside a tower built from unidentified stones.
The base of the tower was paved with brown stones, and its body was constructed from large, pitch-black rocks.
This gave the environment inside the tower an oppressive feeling.
As soon as Chen Mo entered, he received The Heavenly Path’s Hint.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Welcome to the Divine Training Tower! After entering the Trial Tower, you have the opportunity to continuously challenge ten floors, with only three chances per floor. If you fail to pass within these three attempts, you will be deemed to have failed. Please note: if you find yourself outmatched, try to press the ’Stop Challenge’ button. Do not end by dying, or you will face a demotion penalty!]
[In the Trial Tower, upon reaching the fourth, seventh, and tenth floors, you will be given an opportunity to withdraw and claim rewards. If you feel your strength is insufficient at any point, withdrawing early is also an excellent choice.]
It’s quite considerate, allowing one to collect rewards and exit midway. Not bad at all.
Chen Mo quite liked this rule.
At this moment, The Heavenly Path’s Hint continued.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Each floor has a trial start button. When you are ready, press it to begin the trial. Complete the trial tasks required by the current floor to pass. If you feel you cannot continue mid-trial, you can stop it at any time, but this will consume one trial chance for this floor.]
As The Heavenly Path’s Hint finished displaying, Chen Mo saw a button light up at the center of the floor.
So, this must be the button to start the trial.
Chen Mo walked over to the button but didn’t step on it right away. Instead, he started to summon Skeleton Monsters.
No matter how long I stay in the tower, it only counts as one day outside. And since there’s no time limit in here, I might as well summon to my heart’s content!
However, after the Skill upgrade, summoning the maximum amount wasn’t easy.
After grinding for about fifteen minutes, Chen Mo finally triggered the one-in-four-hundred chance and summoned a four-hundredfold quantity of Skeleton Monsters.
A total of two million Skeleton Monsters spread out, so densely packed they seemed to stretch to infinity.
This peculiar Trial Tower seemed to automatically expand its space. When Chen Mo first entered, the area he perceived wasn’t very large, only about a thousand square meters.
This time, he deliberately didn’t use divine stealth while summoning the Skeleton Monsters. However, no matter how much they spread out, these Skeleton Monsters couldn’t fill the entire first floor of the Trial Tower.
As the number of Skeleton Monsters increased, the space on the first floor of the Trial Tower continued to expand.
It expanded until it covered an area of about 600,000 square meters, comparable to dozens of football fields!
Two million Skeleton Monsters—this was already a colossal number.
If such a vast number of Skeleton Monsters were used for a siege, it would truly qualify as an attacking undead tide.
Chen Mo couldn’t help but recall the battles in *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* that claimed to involve a million soldiers. In reality, they never actually mustered a million, yet they were still incredibly imposing.
Yet, before him now stood a true army numbering in the millions.
So, this is what it feels like to command an army of millions, Chen Mo thought, feeling incredibly satisfied.
After taking a moment to appreciate the sheer scale of his two million Skeleton Monsters, he finally activated Divine Stealth and had the densely packed creatures stack together.
After all, spreading them out too much greatly reduces their damage output efficiency and accuracy.
At this point, all the Skeleton Monsters, relying on Divine Stealth’s no-collision-volume property, stacked into the same position, appearing as if there were only a single Skeleton Monster.
With these preparations complete, Chen Mo finally stepped on the trial start button.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: The first-floor trial of the Trial Tower now officially begins. The trial content for the first floor is a God’s Shadow. Defeating this floor’s God’s Shadow is required to pass. Please note: The God’s Shadow is the same Level as you, with attributes equivalent to a same-Level Golden BOSS. However, its Divine Power is fixed at 10 points higher than yours, and its Divine Power is fully effective.]
Reading The Heavenly Path’s Hint, Chen Mo was speechless.
My Divine Power is only one-tenth effective, but the God’s Shadow’s is fully effective? Isn’t that just cheating?
One point of Divine Power increases All Attributes by 100%. If the enemy’s 20 Divine Power points are all effective, doesn’t that mean a 20-fold attribute increase?
As The Heavenly Path’s Hint ended, a flash of light shone in the middle of the Trial Tower. A strange, enormous creature with a goat’s head appeared directly in front of Chen Mo.
Chen Mo immediately sensed its attributes.
Good heavens, this creature’s basic attributes really are that of a Level 20 first-transition Golden BOSS, amplified by 20 points of Divine Power.
However, the attributes of a Level 20 first-transition Golden BOSS aren’t exceptionally high. Its Health is only slightly over 700 million. Even enhanced 20 times, that’s just over 14 billion.
Beside Chen Mo, two million Skeleton Monsters were already lying in wait, eyeing their prey.
Because their numbers had reached one million, the assembly effect reached its third tier. At this point, even without Undying Worship and the Amplification Divine Ring, each Skeleton Monster’s Attack Power had reached 2,459,688.
A single Skeleton Monster had nearly 2.46 million Attack Power. A combined attack from two million Skeleton Monsters, even without a critical hit, could deal 4.92 trillion damage.
