Chapter 691: Free Attribute Pills!

Wildlands Forest, Shadow Realm.

Due to the evolution of 【Steel Shield】, Luo Chenyu's monster-slaying speed increased dramatically, with monsters dying under his hands at nearly one per minute.

Can't help but say…

The shadow monsters of the Shadow Realm are truly powerful—high attack, thick HP, and bizarre skills~.

Unfortunately, they met Luo Chenyu, a brute of extraordinary strength.

Cross-Tier…

And even group-slaying.

Moreover, during this process, Luo Chenyu did not summon the Red-Robed Little Girl or any corrupted puppet.

He merely slaughtered them with his own strength!

"To forge iron, you must be strong yourself!"

While slaying monsters, Luo Chenyu unconsciously practiced his combat techniques.

Combat techniques…

They are indeed the hardest to advance.

Require prolonged combat and extraordinary comprehension.

Fortunately…

He awakened his combat techniques through his own ability.

Time slipped away second by second.

Several hours passed.

In Luo Chenyu's backpack, he had amassed countless treasures—hundreds of divine artifacts, all kinds of god-grade gems, god-grade skill scrolls, Celestial Crystals…

And many other Shadow Realm-specific "local specialties."

Among them were two ultra-divine artifacts, both usable by him.

Too bad…

He had no time to equip them now, and kept fighting with his original attributes.

His ambition was to break the taboo using only his physical attributes.

This path was long…

But Luo Chenyu felt he had a chance to accomplish it.

He didn't know what benefit this would bring, but… he felt an irresistible urge to break through the 3-million threshold using only his own attributes.

So…

Even though he already had enough gear to trigger the taboo breakthrough trial the moment he equipped it,

He did not do it.

He relied on his special title and 【Killing Domain】 to absorb attributes and reach evolution.

It just so happens that…

The Gao Jie monsters of the Shadow Realm were numerous and powerful enough.

As long as he kept slaying, he could fulfill his ambition.

"I won't advance!!"

Luo Chenyu felt his mental attribute rise again, and cheekily unequipped a piece of gear, letting his attributes drop once more.

This maneuver was no different from exploiting a bug.

But…

It actually worked.

Even naked, he could effortlessly slay monsters using 【Steel Shield】 and other mutated skills.

It just meant his slaying efficiency didn't improve—it actually dropped.

Luo Chenyu, obsessed with slaying, was delighted.

Yet…

He didn't know that his actions left a black shadow lurking in the darkness utterly baffled.

"What kind of brain does this guy have? Fighting these lowlifes for so long… no sign of strength increase—just for leveling up?"

"I prepared a gift for you, and yet you still won't come take it…"

It could not leave its current area, merely hoping the human would come, defeat it, and claim it.

Unfortunately…

This wait lasted several hours.

But it didn't mind—having not left the Shadow Realm in so many years, watching this "live stream" was quite enjoyable.

Once the final step was completed, the Shadow Realm could break through the world barrier and invade the Lost Lands.

By then, even if the Eternal Sacred Realm discovered it, it would be too late.

"Since you want to play… let you play… when your strength rises, it'll only benefit me in the end, hehehe…"

The black shadow's calculations were perfectly sound.

In its eyes, Luo Chenyu was already within its grasp.

Previously…

It had acted on the principle of striking first, wanting to swiftly eliminate Luo Chenyu—unfortunately, 【Shadow Touch】 had been countered.

Now, it could only wait for him to walk into the trap.

………………

"Almost there!!"

The more Luo Chenyu farmed, the more fired up he got; he tossed everything else out of his mind, killing monsters solely to grind attributes.

Moreover…

What made him happy was that these black-shadow monsters could also drop a special pill.

【Source Force · Free Attribute Pill】!

The effect was very simple.

After using it, it could add some free attributes, randomly from 100 to 500 points.

Previously Luo Chenyu hadn't noticed this; only when his backpack held more and more items did he spot this pill, tucked away in a corner and easy to overlook.

And the quantity had already stacked up to over a hundred.

At this moment…

He had no intention of using them.

Save them up, use them all in one wave.

Now…

The gap to the final goal wasn't far off either.

There were still three pieces of equipment with attribute gaps…

The base attributes were actually manageable.

The hardest part was actually those percentage-based attribute boosts…

That was the real difficulty!

"Hold on a bit longer…"
