As lines of text appeared, Qin Chuan felt his power rapidly climbing, and corresponding to this power increase, a new ability indescribable in words was forming.

Second Level permission: Attribute Differentiation.

Before ever setting foot on the Heavenly Stairway, he first experienced the greatness of this permission at the Remaining Ember Evil God Palius.

And now he possesses the same permission.

No, not only that.

The improvement brought by breaking through the Second Realm is not merely an increase in Comprehensive Strength and permission.

With a thought, Qin Chuan, a brand-new panel appeared before his eyes.

【Player Name: Luo】

【Player Rank: Mythic Stage Second Realm】【Breakthrough】

【Comprehensive Strength: 20000000】【Attribute】【Increase】

【Mythic Heart: 134】【View】

【Multi-dimensional Synergy】【View】

【Spirit Beast Summon】【View】

【Player Talent: Golden Sundial Hand】

【Affiliated Guild: Luo Moon】【View】

【Item Equipment Slot: 54/100】【View】

【Item Carry: 0/1】【View】

【09:14:55/16:00:00】【00:26:52】

After breaking through Mythic Stage Second Realm, the Human Race's ability system shifted from Spirit Beast Synergy to Multi-dimensional Synergy.

This means he can simultaneously cooperate with multiple Spirit Beasts, gaining all their abilities.

The interaction and resonance between traits and skills brings an improvement far from simple "1+1=2".

With a thought, Qin Chuan clicked the 【View】 after Multi-dimensional Synergy, opening the corresponding panel.

The Multi-dimensional Synergy panel has two empty slots; below are the images of six Contracted Spirit Beasts; he can choose any two to place into the slots, thereby gaining their corresponding skills and all traits.

And this is not all of Multi-dimensional Synergy.

According to the flashing help icon in the corner, for every increase of 1000w in Comprehensive Strength, the Multi-dimensional Synergy panel gains an extra slot, increasing the number of Spirit Beasts that can simultaneously possess skill and trait effects.

And the strength limit of the Second Realm is 5000w.

This means the Mythic Stage Second Realm can at most simultaneously cooperate with five Contracted Spirit Beasts.

After confirming this, Qin Chuan did not immediately choose a Contracted Spirit Beast, but returned to the personal panel and clicked the 【Increase】 after Comprehensive Strength.

During the eight months spent in the First Level of the Heavenly Stairway, he gradually obtained over three hundred Mythic Hearts; after raising his strength to the First Level's limit, he still had over a hundred left, which can now be used to boost his strength after breaking through to the Second Realm.

【Consume 1 Mythic Heart to increase Comprehensive Strength by 100000?】

【Yes】【No】

One Mythic Heart increases 10w?

Qin Chuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Calculating this way, reaching the peak of Mythic Stage Second Realm only needs 300 Mythic Hearts, much easier than expected.

Without hesitation, he went all-in with all the Mythic Hearts; Qin Chuan's Comprehensive Strength instantly broke the thirty-million mark, and the Multi-dimensional Synergy slot also increased by one.

Afterwards he returned to the Multi-dimensional Synergy panel to begin selection.

The skill coordination among Contracted Spirit Beasts is a troublesome problem.

Fortunately, when previously carrying skills in reality, Qin Chuan had tried many skill combination pairings, gaining some insight.

Without much hesitation, he quickly chose Ice Cream, Little Black, and Red Pupil, three Spirit Beasts, for cooperation.

Ice Cream itself possesses strong output and the freezing control skill; it also has the strong trait Eternal Winter, each attack applies a mark, increasing final damage.

This skill pairs perfectly with Little Black's high attack speed; moreover, Little Black's attached mark reduces defense and increases attack, likewise allowing Ice Cream's skill to have more room to shine.

And Little Black's Dragon Descendant trait combined with Little White can also boost all attributes by 50%, likewise a necessary trait.

Moreover, the Little Black with bouncing health bar can also most effectively solve Ice Cream's fragility problem, making Qin Chuan safer.

And Crimson Eye, a powerful output on par with ice cream, possesses the ancient attribute of absolute damage, undoubtedly boosting output.

Possessing all three's full skills and trait effects, Qin Chuan's strength has increased by an unknown multiple compared to before.

While Qin Chuan felt his new power, Lin Yue beside him also felt her own brand-new power.

After choosing three cooperating spirit beasts, she turned her head to Qin Chuan and said, "Let's leave this place."

"Mm!" Qin Chuan nodded slightly.

After entering the gate, he and Lin Yue did not immediately reach the Second Level, but were instead in a chaotic space.

In the space there was another door; walking out of it led to the true Second Level of the Heavenly Stairway.

Now they have adjusted themselves to their peak condition.

It's time to meet those guys we've interacted with over the past few months.

Boom!!!

As the two stepped out of the gate, two beams of light shot up into the sky, enveloping their figures.

Those beams pierced heaven and earth; even from an extreme distance, they could be easily seen.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan's expression immediately lit up.

He had thought that after they appeared, they could still remain hidden for a while.

He never expected that this Second Level would be so treacherous.

"Retreat!" Qin Chuan barked, pulling Lin Yue as they sprinted without hesitation toward a certain direction, but before they could go far, terrifying auras came flying toward them at extreme speed.

"Human race! You've got guts!" Accompanied by an angry shout, a figure that arrived first appeared before them, blocking their path.

That was a great demon god the two had never seen before, but from the opponent's terrifying aura, Qin Chuan vaguely guessed their identity.

"Sin Punishment Demon God Aganir?" Qin Chuan said in a low voice, "You dare block me?"

"What an arrogant brat, Aganir—if I were you, I couldn't stand it." A gloomy voice spoke, and in the next instant a figure shrouded in black mist stepped out from the shadows.

His aura surged, not inferior in the slightest to Aganir's mighty presence.

"Mist Soul Envoy Fingel." Qin Chuan slowly spoke the name of this strongest Second Realm expert of the Nether Ghost Clan.

As the two appeared one after another, other Second Realm experts arrived in succession, forming a surrounding encirclement that trapped Qin Chuan and Lin Yue.

Seeing the dozen or so Second Realm experts present, Qin Chuan instead calmed down.

"Is that all you have?" he said calmly. "If it's just you, stopping us won't be enough."

"Then what about adding me?"

Accompanied by a chilling voice, a mighty aura capable of crushing all present Second Realm beings descended with a roar.

An indescribably terrifying figure gradually coalesced from the void, its scarlet eyes instantly locking onto Qin Chuan, filled with chilling, unhidden killing intent.

"Nether Ghost Ancestor?" Feeling the opponent's aura, almost akin to death itself, Qin Chuan raised his brow, "I thought the one descending would be the Half-Demon Ancestor."

"But this is enough."

As the words fell, everything around fell into absolute stillness.

Time stop, activate! Qin Chuan transformed all his attributes into attack, drawing a frost blade from the bitter cold, and immediately slashed at the Nether Ghost Ancestor.

Clang—

The long blade fell upon the indescribable body of the Nether Ghost Ancestor beneath the black mist, emitting a dull clash of metal that echoed long in the dead-silent time-stopped space.

Qin Chuan's pupils contracted slightly.

This guy, even in time stop, can't be cut?!

Is it due to the Third Level's permission?

Qin Chuan frowned slightly, discarded the long blade in his hand, turned his hands into claws, and as the Blood Rage trait activated, he instantly triggered the Blood Dragon Scales.

One claw… two claws… countless claws.

With a sudden surge in attack speed, Qin Chuan relentlessly assaulted the Nether Ghost Ancestor, stacking multiple traits and skill effects, completing hundreds of attacks in an instant.

In his hand coalesced a pair of silver-white blades, which he drew across the void as a crossing crescent moon, heavily slashing the Nether Ghost Ancestor's body, leaving a silver-white cross-shaped blade mark; then he condensed an ice longsword, gave a low shout, and fiercely chopped at the Nether Ghost Ancestor.

Crimson Eye trait: Absolute Edge!

Crimson Eye skill: Sun·Double Moon Slash!

With both stacked, Qin Chuan's next attack damage will be converted 100% into absolute damage!

An attack of up to thirty million, the final damage boost from hundreds of layers of Eternal Winter marks, the damage increase from hundreds of layers of Shatter marks, and the high attack bonus from all skills and traits activated, all converged at this moment to form a heaven-shaking, earth-moving blade.

Slash!

With a roar, Qin Chuan's long blade instantly fell upon the massive body of the Nether Ghost Ancestor.

With just one strike, the Nether Ghost Ancestor's body was cleanly severed into two parts.

Taking a breath, Qin Chuan in the time stop couldn't help but grin.

Even with unknown Third Realm permission, facing absolute power and an irresistible time stop, those who deserve to die still die.

By the way, we still need to drag a backup.

Qin Chuan glanced at the dozen or so Second Realm experts in the time stop, his eyes flickering, and in the next instant he drew his blade again.

Everything around recovered from stillness, and the newly descended Nether Ghost Ancestor let out a shocked, angry howl.

"What did you do?!"

Then, in everyone's terrified gaze, his massive, indescribable body was split in two, the death aura surged wildly, and devoured him completely.

"Ancestor!"

Mist Soul Envoy Fingel let out a howl, and immediately felt his aura rapidly collapsing; his incorporeal self showed an incredulous expression, and then, as the black mist dissipated, he died on the spot.

In an instant, the Nether Ghost Ancestor's descended form was slain, the strongest Second Realm expert deleted his account and restarted.

"If the ancestors of the other few races were more spirited, the Nether Ghost Clan could withdraw early from the Race War." Qin Chuan said with a chuckle.

With the descended form slain, the Nether Ghost Ancestor's true body will surely be severely wounded, and in a short time will no longer be able to contend with other ancestors.

And the strongest Second Realm Fengeer of the Nether Ghost Clan should have been a candidate for Ancestor, but he fell before the Ancestor did, meaning that once the Ancestor falls, the Nether Ghost Clan will shortly find itself in the awkward situation of lacking a Third Realm.

At that time, they will become lambs awaiting slaughter.

As Qin Chuan's words fell, the field fell into absolute silence.

Those Second Realm powerhouses who were not attacked remain in a dazed state.

Just now… who descended? It was the Nether Ghost Ancestor, right?

Even though the Nether Ghost Ancestor's strength was mid-to-high among the six Ancestor-level powerhouses, he's just gone like that?

This is the Third Realm!

Not only does it completely overwhelm the Second Realm in strength, but as a Third Realm powerhouse it also possesses authority far greater than the Second Realm—yet it was killed in an instant? Realizing what this meant, all Second Realm powerhouses looked at Qin Chuan as if they had seen a ghost.

Before Qin Chuan could speak again, they fled at a speed faster than when they came, scattering wildly; the more arrogant they had been upon arrival, the more embarrassed their escape.

"Ah…" Qin Chuan blinked, then spread his hands, "I really didn't mean to kill them."

If he wanted to, he could have wiped them all out just now.

Now is not the time for full deployment; the Human Race still needs to accumulate strength. At the very least, we must fill the eight slots for entering the Second Level of the Heavenly Stairway.

So Qin Chuan's original plan was to find a Descended Ancestor to kill as a warning; if possible, simply pick a lucky clan and wipe them out entirely would be best.

Now, the Nether Ghost has become that lucky one.

"Pfft~" Lin Yue couldn't help laughing, "You just killed the Nether Ghost Ancestor; of course they won't believe you."

"Alright." Qin Chuan looked innocent, "You say, will those few at the Third Level act against the Nether Ghost Clan?"

"I don't think so." Lin Yue pondered for a moment, then slightly shook her head, "You have now shown the strength to kill a Third Realm being; in the eyes of the other Ancestors, the threat posed by the Human Race far exceeds that of any other species."

"At this point, all they can do is unite all the forces they can unite against us."

"Although the Nether Ghost Ancestor is heavily wounded, he's not dead yet; moreover, the Nether Ghost Clan still has many powerhouses."

"At this point, letting the Nether Ghost Clan withdraw early is also a weakening for the other clans, making them more vulnerable when facing the Human Race." Lin Yue paused, then continued, "I believe they will not only not take advantage of the fire to loot, but will instead help the Nether Ghost Ancestor recover."

"That makes sense." Qin Chuan nodded.

After hearing Lin Yue's words, he also understood the crux.

Although it's a pity that we can't wipe out the Nether Ghost Clan right now, the effect of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys is still…

"Boom!!!"

A huge roar suddenly exploded above the Heavenly Stairway, and the entire Second Realm of the Heavenly Stairway violently trembled under this terrifying commotion.

Qin Chuan and Lin Yue both shuddered.

A line of text silently appeared before their eyes.

【Nether Ghost Ancestor·Laotelaien fell】

The two looked at each other, unable to hide their shock.

Nether Ghost Ancestor… dead?!
