Chapter 630: The Terrifying Reassessment—So What?

The old man gradually faded before Jiang Chen's eyes and vanished.

In the final instant of his disappearance, Jiang Chen saw a flash of murderous light in the old man's eye corner.

"He wants to kill me!"

Jiang Chen felt a chill in his heart, yet he dared not react, still maintaining his previous sincerity.

He could not at all tell whether the old man was still here, and the act could only be carried through to the end.

The bloodied scent that pierces the soul rose again, and a drop of blood fell from the sky.

This time Jiang Chen, having gained experience, let the blood drop strike his head.

He knew it was the blood of the source bird, and the blood carried the source bird's law.

Because the "Primordial Rune" evolved from the nine‑character mantra.

And the nine‑character mantra was refined from the blood of the source bird.

Thus the source bird's blood can activate the "Primordial Rune".

After passing the assessment, the "Primordial Rune" must also be fully triggered with the source bird's blood, eventually becoming a Source Skill.

So Jiang Chen had no choice but to let this drop of fresh blood soak him.

The fresh blood also carries the strong law, and both talent and Skill are sealed again.

However, this time differs from the previous one.

This time not all Skills are sealed.

Summoning‑type Skills are completely unsealed.

Also, Divine Power, which stands lofty, is likewise unaffected by the seal.

Looking at the glittering "Primordial Rune" on the back of his left hand, it is still only a "Primordial Rune" and has not yet transformed into a "Source Skill".

Strictly speaking, it is still an external object, not yet belonging to him.

The purpose of the assessment is to see how one can effectively use it, to what extent, and whether the requirements are met.

From the previous assessment, with three consecutive battles, one could hardly pass without Divine Power.

If one were of another profession—meaning without any other special abilities—passing would also be impossible.

It is precisely because of this that, over the years, few have obtained a Source Skill.

A moment after the blood drop fell, still no enemy appeared.

Jiang Chen's expression grew increasingly solemn.

He realized something was off; the murderous intent in the old man's eyes when he left was genuine.

This indicates that he seems capable of killing himself within the Secret Realm.

Perhaps there are some loopholes in the Secret Realm that he has discovered.

However, Jiang Chen can be certain that he cannot act personally; thus, to kill himself, there is only one way—using the assessment.

The Difficulty of the assessment should be very high, high enough to be capable of killing him.

In this case, even if his master blames him, he would have nothing to say.

Moreover, his master is so powerful that such a tiny existence as himself would never be noticed by the other side.

Many matters remain puzzling, and Jiang Chen still has no answers.

Numerous clues are still tangled; he needs time to sort them out and analyze.

Now is not the time.

Accompanied by streams of Black Smoke descending from the sky, Jiang Chen felt an extremely violent Energy Fluctuation.

"Approaching Divine Level."

Jiang Chen felt a chill in his heart; the Black Smoke hit the ground and then exploded.

Across the earth and sky, from all directions, countless enemies appeared.

Among them were members of the Human Race, the Dragon Race, and Demons.

Each wielded Blade and sword, radiating murderous aura.

Jiang Chen glanced outward, boundless and endless, the total exceeding 100,000, and each possessed strength close to Divine Level.

They were either Level 88 or Level 89.

Jiang Chen trusted his judgment; these enemies were extremely powerful.

Then three more streams of Black Smoke fell from the sky, turning into three steel giants over ten meters tall.

The giants exuded a True God-level aura.

"They never intended anyone to pass!" Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with brilliance as he shed all previous pretenses.

Three Divine Level giants and 100,000 near‑Divine Level Warriors—such a lineup no practitioner of any profession could pass.

Not to mention he is only Level 74; even a Level 89 opponent would be instantly crushed to nothing.

The opponent intends to kill him and certainly has means to do so.

But is he really that easy to kill?

Jiang Chen's gaze grew heavy; he murmured softly, "If it were someone else, death would be certain."

"But for me, perhaps not."

"If previously, summoning Ku Lou Wang failed to transfer into the soul, it might have been a bit troublesome."

"Now, it's merely a slightly higher‑level Thunder‑Tree Wind‑Flower group."

This seemingly powerful group of enemies has already been regarded by Jiang Chen as Thunder‑Tree Wind‑Flower.

A stir in his heart, and the Undead Legion burst forth in unison.

This time, with no reservations, the Undead Legion gave its all.

Because the "Strong Soldier" Skill is linked to summoning‑type Skills, the summoning Skills remain unsealed.

The Undead Legion is the skill Jiang Chen relies on for survival; no other skill, however strong, can surpass summoning.

The Undead Legion is the hallmark of the Necromancer Summoner.

The Undead Legion, numbering as high as 172, appeared around Jiang Chen, filling the sky and earth to the brim.

The Outer Perimeter consisted of 43,200 headless Knights, their bodies wreathed in silvery flame, their momentum fierce.

Behind the headless Knights were 43,200 Skeleton Berserkers, each gripping a sharp axe; the Level‑74 Mythological Class Skeleton Berserker stood about 3 meters tall, its bones already gilded.

At the rear of the formation were Skeleton Great Mages and Skeleton Divine Archers.

The Undead Legion exuded a deathly aura, its silvery light tinged with lightning‑flame colored death energy.

The whole scene was eerie and gloomy.

The Lich General immediately began to empower, pillars of light rose upon the Undead Legion.

The momentum kept rising, attributes surged sharply.

Although Jiang Chen knew he was still a bit short of the opponent, the gap wouldn't be huge.

He had an absolute numerical advantage, and with the Undead Legion's immortality, this battle could only end in victory.

Clack!

Boom!

As the Undead Legion appeared, a crack of thunder sounded in the sky.

Jiang Chen looked up, seeing nothing.

But he knew in his heart that the old man must have been startled.

He lowered his head, a smile at the corner of his eye, "Startled? There's something even more startling for you."

The summoning wasn't finished, and the elemental Liches mobilized together.

Circles of Aura appeared beneath the Undead Legion.

Flame Aura, Storm Aura, Frost Aura, Earth Aura, Lightning Aura, Holy Light Aura, Undead Aura, Toxic Aura.

The eight Auras flickered alternately, each nesting within another.

Thunder sounded again in the sky.

The old man, whose hiding place was unknown, now wore a slightly ferocious expression.

"What skill is this, how can such a skill exist?"

"Rules. It's all damned rules."

"Why won't I be allowed to act? I've already found that loophole, why is this happening?"

"But it's fortunate this kid doesn't have Divine Level subordinates."

But the next second, his eyes widened, his mouth gaped, and he staggered back half a step, terrified and unable to move.

Dark clouds filled the sky, and the Secret Realm turned into a black, oppressive expanse.

In the sky appeared a large and a small Ku Lou Wang throne.

The two Ku Lou Wang rose slowly from their thrones.

The Ku Lou Wang were also a large and a small one, one emanating Divine Level aura.

The other was weaker, still far from Divine Level.

The Divine Level Ku Lou Wang was summoned by Jiang Chen using 100,000 Skeletons.

The other Ku Lou Wang was summoned with 20 Skeletons.

The Skeleton count differed by a factor of five, so the gap was naturally huge.

No thunder sounded this time in the sky, and Jiang Chen smirked inwardly, "Not startled this time?"

"You thought that was the end?"

"If I'm not mistaken, in the assessment, the Strong Soldier skill's duration exceeds 30 seconds."

"It should be like the Concentration skill, able to extend duration by killing enemies."

"Since that's the case!"

Jiang Chen felt a stir in his heart and launched the first attack.

The headless Knights immediately charged, their bodies streaking out like flaming meteors.

Jiang Chen simultaneously activated "Strong Soldier", boosting the momentum of all Undead Legion again.

Under the effect of the Strong Soldier skill, the Undead Legion was no longer weaker than the opponent at all.

And numerically it crushed the opponent.

The old man hidden in the shadows was completely stunned; after countless years alive, he'd never been so shocked.

"What exactly has the 'Soldier' character become as a skill?"

"Why is it so strong? I've never seen anything like it."

"This kid is not just invincible at his own level; killing higher‑level foes is as easy as eating and drinking."

"Even among the myriad worlds, he is a once‑in‑ten‑thousand Heavenly Pride."

In his astonishment, the great battle began.

The two Ku Lou Wang simultaneously brandished massive bone swords.

Skill: God‑Slash!

The Divine Level Ku Lou Wang, already at peak Level 92, targeted three Divine Level Iron Giants.

The God‑Slash skill's attack power slightly increases the fewer targets it has.

The other Ku Lou Wang locked onto as many targets as possible.
