Chapter 539

He took far less damage, and the shield value of 【Steel Shield】 stacked much faster!

Each strike could stack over a billion shield value.

That speed was like ascending to heaven.

Combined with various added abilities, ordinary forbidden monsters and elite monsters couldn't survive a single attack.

The damage was terrifying, and the attack speed was also extremely powerful.

Once agility reached a certain stage, increasing attack speed hit a bottleneck.

But…

Luo Chenyu possessed multiple abilities that increased attack speed; for him, agility was not a crucial stat.

At least, during stand-and-fight battles, it wasn't important.

Boom!

Boom!

Swinging the Black Dragon War Spear, he unleashed furious output.

Finally…

A few minutes later.

Luo Chenyu reached the end of the Immortal Wooden Man Array…

Yet…

Luo Chenyu turned his head suddenly, stepping sideways.

And then, nothing more happened.

He returned to the starting point.

With the speed boost from 【Treading Void Steps】, he quickly returned to the battlefield.

Round after round.

Again and again.

Nothing else.

Luo Chenyu only wanted to complete the first loop of the 【Immortal Shield】 trial here.

He believed the monsters in the Immortal Wooden Man Array were sufficient to meet his 100-minute goal.

As time passed, at the fifty-seventh minute, he finally gathered all 5,000 Immortal Spirit Crystals.

"Keep going!!"

Luo Chenyu accepted 【Insight Eye】's advice and continued farming monsters.

………………

"Tsk tsk tsk… So that's your goal!"

The black crystal's voice sounded again, filled with surprise and astonishment.

"The Immortal Shield isn't simple—how many years have passed without anyone completing the final trial? Little one, can you accomplish this trial?"

"That's something with the potential to transcend the Eternal Ten Thousand Worlds…"

"If you truly complete the 【Immortal Shield】 trial, my gift must be prepared anew—hahaha…"

Wild laughter echoed through the space.

………………

Time slipped away, second by second.

Finally, the 100-minute trial ended.

"Submit!"

Luo Chenyu smiled faintly, anticipating the trial reward.

Relatively speaking.

The Immortal Wooden Man Array's reward was unknown—mysterious, but lacking strong anticipation.

But the first loop reward of the 【Immortal Shield】 was visible.

Judging from the reward description…

It would increase current stats by at least 10%, and even after changing gear or other items, this bonus would remain.

It was a perfect reward!!

As Luo Chenyu submitted the trial…

A thrilling notification appeared before him.

"Ding! Congratulations! You've completed the first loop of the 【Immortal Shield】 trial!"

"Ding! Since you obtained 1,015 Immortal Spirit Crystals within 100 minutes, exceeding 100% completion, the reward has been greatly increased!"

"Ding! Congratulations! You've received the reward: all stats +25%, Gao Jie stats +20% (can break cap), plus an additional 50% damage reduction!"

"Ding! Your Strength stat has exceeded 1.5 million points—high-level talent 【Strength·Raging Might】 has been awakened!"

"Ding! Your Spirit stat has exceeded 1.5 million points—high-level talent 【Spirit·Source Soul】 has been awakened!"

"Ding! You've completed the first loop's goal—the second loop has been unlocked. Check it yourself!!"

……

When Luo Chenyu saw the reward, he was stunned!!

A 25% increase to all stats!!

Even his lowest stat—Spirit—rose by 320,000 points… 0

Most importantly…

These bonus stats would continue to scale with future percentage-based stat increases (Note: currently owned percentage-based stats cannot increase this portion).

Forbidden quest, terrifying as this!!

Thus,

His current attributes have all exceeded 1.5 million, and even his highest Constitution attribute has surpassed 2 million points.

Previously, when slaying monsters, his Constitution had already exceeded 1.5 million points.

He successfully awakened the Gao Jie talent 【Constitution·Abundant Source】.

In the end, it was still fused by the sixth talent 【Unyielding Resolve】, becoming part of it.

Now...

These two newly emerged talents also could not escape 【Unyielding Resolve】's ambush, transforming into purest talent energy and being granted to other abilities.

Losing the Gao Jie talent does not reduce Luo Chenyu's strength.

On the contrary, it enhances his combat capability.

This is the terrifying nature of mutated skills.

Relatively speaking,

Even if Talent 3.1 is numerous, it remains a constraint.

Because, when breaking through Tier 10, one must integrate all talents into a single unity, achieving the sole talent!

This constraint has limited many practitioners.

Now Luo Chenyu possesses only one Fate talent, though he may gain additional ones later.

However, the difficulty of integrating talents will be significantly reduced.

The Fate talent is not a simple talent.

In addition to the increase in base attributes, there is a 25% increase in Gao Jie attributes.

These Gao Jie attributes relate to combat capability.

Moreover, due to 【Protection of the Life Goddess】, this value is naturally better when higher.

Rewards...

Abundant!

Immediately, Luo Chenyu opened the second ring's trial objective.

When he saw the trial objective, he involuntarily uttered a curse.

"F***, are you trying to screw me?!"
