A long flight of steps stretched into the distance, winding upward until it connected with a towering Angel statue. Along the way, various items were placed—one every 100 steps. However, reaching those items was no simple task, as the path was littered with Light Elental Sprites. To reach these items, one had to endure the self-destruction of the Light Elental Sprites.
But for Lin Moyu, this posed no challenge. The Light Elental Sprites couldn’t even scratch his Bone Armor. Their self-destruction was a re light show against his defense. All Lin Moyu had to do was close his eyes to shield against the bright flashes, and the rest was smooth sailing.
With unwavering confidence, Lin Moyu marched forward. The Light Elental Sprites flung themselves at him, detonating one after another. Amidst the thunderous explosions, Lin Moyu pressed on, his Bone Armor completely blocking the blasts, without slowing him down in the slightest.
Compared to the passage in the Divine Selection Secret Realm, this passage was much longer yet far less difficult. After all, this was just a level 40 dungeon—how difficult could it really be?
Soon, Lin Moyu reached the 100th step and claid the first item.
[Light Crystal Fragnt: collect five Light Crystal Fragnts to fuse into a Light Crystal.]
Lin Moyu allowed himself a faint smile. This dungeon didn’t involve fighting monsters; it was more of a trial-based dungeon. The goal was simple—pass the trials, and you get the rewards. The Light Crystal Fragnt in his hand looked like a small shard of glass, glowing faintly with a soft white light. It seed unassuming, but Lin Moyu could feel the dense light elent within it. One fragnt alone was useless, but combining five would yield a valuable Light Crystal.
His gaze traveled ahead, up the seemingly endless flight of steps. Every 100 steps, there was another fragnt—and perhaps other treasures.
“This is going to be quite the harvest.” Lin Moyu thought, determined to collect them all.
As he pressed forward, the power of the Light Elental Sprites' self-destructive attacks gradually intensified. His Bone Armor glead brighter, signifying the increased impact it was taking, but it was still far from being overwheld. Lin Moyu paid it no mind and continued his steady progress, picking up Light Crystal Fragnts along the way.
Eventually, he gathered five Light Crystal Fragnts, and then he fused them into a complete Light Crystal.
[Light Crystal: can be combined with other single-elent Elental Crystals to create an Elental Divine Stone, which can increase the chances of class sublimation during the third class awakening. The more elents are fused, the stronger the stone's effect. It can also be used alone to permanently enhance light resistance. But by doing so, it can no longer be used to form the Elental Divine Stone.]
Without hesitation, Lin Moyu retrieved an Elental Divine Stone and carefully fused the Light Crystal into it. A few minutes later, he held a brand-new Elental Divine Stone.
[Elental Divine Stone (fire, poison, earth, light): increases the chances of class sublimation by 20% during the third class awakening.]
With four elents combined, the odds of class ascension had risen to 20%, double the rate of a three-elent stone. Lin Moyu recalled that three more elents—water, wind, and lightning—could still be added. He wondered just how high the odds could be pushed.
Bai Yiyuan had once ntioned that an Elental Divine Stone could boost class sublimation chances up to 50%. While Lin Moyu didn't doubt his words, he still felt it wise to verify for himself.
After storing away the Elental Divine Stone, Lin Moyu continued his steady march forward. He had only traversed about a tenth of the long passage, with plenty of treasures still lying ahead. Collecting more Light Crystals was definitely on his agenda, as he still had another Elental Divine Stone.
Soti later, Lin Moyu reached the 1,000th step, acquiring another Light Crystal, which he imdiately fused into the other Elental Divine Stone, ant for Ning Yiyi. This one now carried the earth, fire, and light elents.
The path stretched on endlessly, filled with rewards for those persistent enough to claim them. By now, the Light Elental Sprites had grown significantly stronger. Their self-destruction attacks had doubled in power, but even that was insufficient to threaten Lin Moyu. It took five of them detonating to wear down his Bone Armor. The armor not only blocked the damage but also neutralized the impact entirely, leaving Lin Moyu completely unfazed.
Among all Mage-type classes, Lin Moyu couldn’t think of a better defensive skill than Bone Armor.
He advanced step by step toward the distant Angel statue, his movents swift yet controlled. Despite the blinding white light of the explosions and the growing power of the Light Elental Sprites, nothing could slow his progress. He didn’t even pause, except to gather items.
The 2,000th step… the 3,000th step…
Lin Moyu gathered four more Light Crystals as he pressed forward. The Light Elental Dungeon didn’t exist in the Human World, so practically no one had ever obtained Light Crystals over the years. Given this rare opportunity, Lin Moyu aid to collect as many as possible.
"Hmm, sothing’s changing." He muttered, sensing a shift as he passed the 3,000th step. By now, he had covered more than half of the passage and was closing in on the towering Angel statue. But sothing was different—the steps ahead were no longer grouped in units of 100.
In the distance, he spotted a shining item on the 3,500th step. The steps were now grouped in units of 500. Lin Moyu eyed the distant item, a sense of familiarity stirring within him. Based on his past experience, he could guess what it was.
Quickening his pace, Lin Moyu felt the intensity of the Light Elental Sprites’ self-destruction increase once more. Now, it only took two blasts to destroy his Bone Armor. He kept moving forward, recasting his armor as needed. The increased power of the Light Elental Sprites still didn't faze him—so long as the Bone Armor could withstand one attack, he had ample ti to recast it.
Reaching the 3,500th step without trouble, Lin Moyu picked up the pure white gem lying before him.
[Light Gem: permanently reduces light elental damage by 50% and may grant a light elental skill. Effective only upon first use.]
"Just as I expected, it's a gem." Lin Moyu smiled, unsurprised but pleased.
He activated the gem using his spirit force. Imdiately, a pure white light enveloped him, forming a massive orb of energy that swirled around his body. The light lingered for a while before slowly fading, signaling that Lin Moyu hadn’t awakened a new skill. But just as the glow began to dim, sothing extraordinary happened.
The Angel statue at the top of the steps trembled, and a beam of brilliant light shot forth from the staff in its hands, striking Lin Moyu directly. The fading mass of light around him flared to life once more, even brighter than before.
A massive surge of light elent gathered around him, and a pair of faint, ethereal wings ford on his back. Through the radiant light, Lin Moyu could clearly see everything the Angel statue was doing. The statue’s aura dimd, as if the light beam it had just released had consud most of the energy it had accumulated over the years.
[Acquired skill: Blessing of Light]
[Blessing of Light (level 1): grants immunity to all negative statuses (including curses, seals, silences, bindings, and other negative states) for 30 minutes. Cooldown: 30 minutes.]
Lin Moyu’s heart raced with excitent. It felt like the universe had delivered the perfect solution just when he needed it most. With a 30-minute duration and a matching cooldown, this skill essentially granted him seamless immunity. From now on, he no longer had to worry about summon-sealing spells or other debilitating status effects.
Lin Moyu bowed to the Angel statue, "Thank you!"
The Angel statue didn't react, remaining silent and unmoving. Lin Moyu wasn’t sure if its actions had been part of a pre-determined set of rules or if it had acted with so form of consciousness. Either way, his gratitude was genuine.
With this new Blessing of Light skill that could ignore negative statuses and the permanent 50% reduction in light elental damage from the Light Gem, the journey into the Abyss had been more than worthwhile. But the passage wasn’t over yet. Continuing forward, Lin Moyu reached the 4,000th and 4,500th steps, where he obtained two more Light Gems.
By this stage, the Light Elental Sprites' self-destruction attacks had beco dangerously powerful. Each blast was now strong enough to shatter his Bone Armor. Even Knights with Extre Defense might struggle to endure this level of damage. It was clear the final stretch, like in the Divine Selection Secret Realm, was ant to filter out all but the strongest.
Undeterred, Lin Moyu continued recasting his Bone Armor repeatedly as he made his way upward, pushing forward despite the relentless blasts. Finally, he reached the top of the long flight of steps.
At the summit stood a box made entirely of the light elent. The mont Lin Moyu touched it, the box disintegrated into countless white motes of light, leaving behind two items in his hand.
[Light God's Heart: can be used to awaken the Light God.]
[Light God's Key: a key that can open the true Light God's Palace.]
Lin Moyu studied the items thoughtfully. He had previously acquired the Fire God's Flower and the Fire God's Key, which could be used to awaken the Fire God and unlock the Fire God's Palace respectively. Now, he held the tools to awaken the Light God and open the Light God's Palace. Could there be a connection between these?
Suddenly, a deafening boom echoed as the dungeon shook violently. Lin Moyu’s gaze snapped to the Angel statue, which crumbled before him, its once imposing form collapsing into ruins. From its remnants, the staff it had held transford into a beam of pure light and flew directly into Lin Moyu’s hand.
[Monarch's Scepter (incomplete): legendary weapon, all attributes 500,000.]
