Chapter 312: Ultra‑Strong Immunity Skill, Seamlessly Linked

Jiang Chen stepped onto the tiled stairs that stretched into the distance, gradually rising until they finally connected to an Angel Statue.

Various items were placed on the stairs, one every 100 steps.

Light Elemental Sprites were scattered along the way; to obtain items one must endure their self‑destruct attacks.

However, for Jiang Chen, that was no problem.

The self‑destruct attacks of the Light Elemental Sprites could not shake Jiang Chen's Bone Armor; he only needed to close his eyes at the moment of explosion and could proceed unbothered.

Jiang Chen strode forward, easily evading the Light Elemental Sprites' attacks.

This Light Elemental Instance was not about defeating monsters but a trial; passing it granted items.

Jiang Chen quickly passed the first 100 steps and obtained the first item.

"Light Crystal Fragment: five Light Crystal Fragments can be fused into a Light Crystal."

Jiang Chen smiled; this Instance was clearly a trial type, not monster‑hunting.

The Light Crystal Fragments in his hand resembled tiny glass shards glowing with White Light; though unremarkable, they were saturated with Light Element.

Individually the fragments were useless; they needed to be combined into a Light Crystal to have meaning.

Jiang Chen looked ahead down the corridor, which stretched far away as if endless.

Every 100 steps there was a fragment, and it seemed there were other things as well.

"I'll take all of these," Jiang Chen realized that this haul would not be small.

He kept moving forward; the self‑destruct power of the Light Elemental Sprites gradually increased, but Jiang Chen was unfazed, continuing to collect Light Crystal Fragments.

Soon, he gathered five Light Crystal Fragments and fused them into a Light Crystal.

"Light Crystal: can be combined with other single

Elemental Crystals to form an Elemental Divine Stone, increasing the Profession Ascension chance during Third Transcendence; the more elements fused, the stronger the stone's effect. It can also be used alone to permanently boost Flame resistance. Once used alone, it can no longer receive assistance from an Elemental Divine Stone."

After obtaining the Light Crystal, Jiang Chen took out an Elemental Divine Stone and fused the Light Crystal into it.

A few minutes later, Jiang Chen received a brand‑new Elemental Divine Stone.

"Elemental Divine Stone (Fire, Poison, Earth, Light): usable during Third Transcendence, can increase Profession Ascension chance by 20%."

The Elemental Divine Stone forged from the Four Elements raised the Profession Ascension chance to 20%, double the increase from a three‑element stone.

According to Jiang Chen, water, wind, and electricity are the three remaining elements that could be merged in.

He didn't know how high the final Job Change probability could reach.

Hong Jishi had said that an Elemental Divine Stone could at most raise the Profession Ascension chance by 50%.

He wasn't sure whether that was correct.

Jiang Chen wasn't doubting Hong Jishi's words; he just felt that everything still needed to be seen with his own eyes.

He put away the Elemental Divine Stone and Jiang Chen continued forward.

The long corridor was, at most, only a tenth completed now.

Ahead, a great many things awaited him to be harvested.

Moreover, Jiang Chen didn't mind having many Light Crystals.

He still had several Elemental Divine Stones in his hand.

Moments later, Jiang Chen reached the 1,000th step.

He obtained another complete Light Crystal and fused it into another Elemental Divine Stone.

It was a three‑element stone composed of Earth, Flame, and Light.

This Elemental Divine Stone was prepared for Lin Cai'er.

The road ahead was still long, with many more harvests to come.

So far, the Light Elemental Sprites have already

are much stronger than at the beginning.

The self‑destruct power had at least doubled.

Yet for Jiang Chen, it was still insufficient.

Every five Light Elemental Sprites that charged to self‑destruct would consume one use of the Bone Armor.

The Bone Armor not only blocked damage but also nullified all impact force; under its protection, Jiang Chen remained motionless.

Among mage‑class professions, Jiang Chen could find no defensive skill better than the Bone Armor.

Jiang Chen advanced step by step, quickly and steadily toward the Angel Statue.

Except when picking up items, not a single pause ever appeared.

Even the blinding White Light of the explosions could not stop him from moving forward.

Step 2,000, step 3,000...

Jiang Chen gathered four more Light Crystals.

The Light Elemental Instance does not exist in the Human World, so over the years hardly anyone has obtained a Light Crystal.

This time Jiang Chen had the chance, and of course more was better.

"Eh, something's changed."

At the 3,000th step, he had already traversed most of the corridor.

At this point he was not far from the Angel Statue.

The steps ahead were no longer grouped by 100.

Looking ahead, an item glittered, placed transcendentally on the 3,500th step.

Every 500 steps counted as one tier.

From a distance, Jiang Chen looked at the item and felt it seemed somewhat familiar.

Based on past experience, he roughly guessed what it was.

Jiang Chen quickened his step forward.

The Light Elemental Sprite's power increased again.

Now two self‑detonations can destroy one Bone Armor.

Jiang Chen replenished while advancing.

For him, it still wasn't stressful.

As long as the Bone Armor can block the next wave of attacks, he has time to replenish.

Successfully arrived.

at the 3500th step.

Jiang Chen picked up a pure white gem.

"Light Gem: permanently reduces Light Element damage by 50%, has a chance to grant a Light‑type skill, effective only on first use."

"Sure enough, this is it."

Jiang Chen smiled; it was exactly as he had imagined.

Spiritual Power flickered slightly, activated!

Pure white light enveloped his body, turning Jiang Chen into a massive Light Orb.

The Light Orb persisted for a moment, then began to fade gradually.

This situation also indicates Jiang Chen has no Awakening Skill.

The Angel Statue, like white jade, suddenly trembled slightly.

Its staff emitted a beam of light that fell onto Jiang Chen.

The waning white Light Orb instantly became radiant again.

A massive influx of Light Element gathered on Jiang Chen, and a pair of wings faintly appeared behind him.

Within the Light Orb, Jiang Chen remained conscious; he saw everything the Angel Statue did.

After emitting that light, the Angel Statue's aura weakened considerably.

It seemed the power accumulated over years was largely expended at that moment.

"Acquired Skill: Blessing of Light."

"Blessing of Light (Level 1): Grants immunity to all negative statuses (including Curse, Seal, Silence, Bind, etc.) for 30 minutes; cooldown 30 minutes."

Jiang Chen was overjoyed; it's like wanting to fall asleep and a pillow appears—nothing more wonderful.

30 minutes of active time, 30 minutes cooldown; in other words, seamless chaining is fully possible.

From now on, he'll never have to worry about Summon Seal Technique.

Jiang Chen gave a slight bow toward the Angel Statue, "Thank you!"

The Angel Statue made no movement.

Jiang Chen also didn't know

whether it was due to the rules or it had its own consciousness.

Regardless, his actions came from the heart, and he truly should thank the other party.

Permanent 50% reduction of Light Element damage, plus a new skill that ignores negative statuses.

This Abyss run truly paid off big time.

The passage isn't finished yet; continue onward.

At the 4000th and 4500th steps, he again obtained a Light Gem.

At this point, the Light Elemental Sprite's self‑detonation power was already immense.

Each time it could destroy Bone Armor.

Jiang Chen knew that with this attack power, even a Knight with Limit Defense might not get through.

It's just like the Divine Selection Secret Realm; the final stretch simply isn't meant for ordinary people.

Repeatedly replenishing Bone Armor, he reached the top floor without incident.

On the top floor, there was a box.

The box, made of Light Element, turned into countless specks of white light and vanished the instant Jiang Chen touched it.

The items inside the box also appeared in Jiang Chen's hand.

"Heart of Light: Can awaken the God of Light."

"Light Temple Key: The key that opens the true Light Temple."

Jiang Chen looked at the two items, deep in thought.

Previously there were the Fire God Flower and Fire God Key.

They can be used to open the true Fire God Temple and awaken the Fire God.

Now the Light Temple and the God of Light have appeared.

Whether there is any connection between the two.

Boom!

The Instance suddenly shook violently, and the Angel Statue collapsed.

Its staff transformed into a beam of light that flew into Jiang Chen's hand.

"Monarch Scepter (Broken): Mythic Weapon, All Attributes +500000."

Jiang Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.
