Line 32: 【In 24 hours of game time, the demi-god tribulation will descend. Please note to stay online, if the tribulation

But the line ends abruptly. We'll translate as given.

Thus: 【After 24 hours of game time, the Demigod Tribulation will descend. Please note to stay online, if the tribulation

if it occurs while offline, or if one cannot pass the tribulation test, then it is considered a failed tribulation, unable to break through, entering a 30-day tribulation cooldown!】

Translation: 】 If it arrives while you're offline, or you fail to pass the tribulation test, it will be considered a tribulation failure, unable to break through, entering a 30-day tribulation cooldown!

Xiao Feng heard the prompt and was slightly surprised.

I didn't expect that I'd have to wait another 24 hours to break through!

Translation: I never expected we'd have to wait another 24 hours to break through!

At this moment he is still a fifth-tier profession, without the sixth transformation.

Translation: At this moment he is still a 5th Transformation profession, without the 6th Transformation.

All players' professions end at the fifth transformation; thereafter, the path forward is entirely up to oneself—what kind of strong one becomes, which road to take, are all personal decisions.

Translation: All players' professions end at the 5th Transformation; the subsequent path relies solely on oneself—what kind of powerhouse to become, which road to take, are all one's own decisions.

Once the sixth transformation occurs, the basic attributes will change, with mana and attack power merging into one, becoming 'Divine Essence Power'.

Translation: Once reaching the 6th Transformation, basic attributes will change, with mana and attack power merging into one, becoming "God Yuan Power".

However, demi-gods and gods also differ; a demi-god's power nature leans more toward 'mortal' than 'god'.

Translation: However, demigods and gods also differ; a demigod's power nature leans mainly toward "mortal", not "god".

Therefore, damage and damage reduction effects for characters at sixth transformation or below remain normal.

Only after breaking through the 300-level seventh transformation threshold will a qualitative change occur, producing a tenfold crushing effect against lower-level targets!

Translation: Only after breaking through the 300-level 7th Transformation threshold will a qualitative change occur, producing a tenfold crushing effect against lower-level targets!

"Master, when will your demi-god tribulation arrive?" Helna asked, knowing he had reached the demi-god threshold.

Translation: "Master, when will your Demigod Tribulation arrive?" He Er Na, knowing he had reached the Demigod Threshold, asked.

"Another 24 hours; we have nothing to do in the meantime, let's go treasure hunting first." Xiao Feng replied.

Translation: "Still 24 hours; this period we have nothing to do, let's go treasure hunting first." Xiao Feng replied.

He didn't want to waste time; 24 hours can accomplish many things, so he might as well dig out the Abyss world's 'Divine Artifact'.

Translation: He didn't want to waste time; 24 hours can accomplish many things, perfect for digging out the Main Divine Artifact of Shen Yuan Shijie.

The Divine Light Mirror shows only ownerless treasures, and we don't even know what that thing is.

Translation: The Divine Light Treasure Mirror shows only ownerless treasures; we don't even know what that thing is.

If its stats are suitable, it could perfectly serve as high-end equipment for use after breaking through to demi-god!

Translation: If the stats work out, it could perfectly serve as high-grade equipment for use after breaking through to demigod!

After all, high-tier divine artifacts can only be used by demi-gods in a single piece.

Translation: After all, high-grade divine artifacts, a demigod can only use one piece.

"Treasure hunting?"

Translation: "Treasure hunting?"

The drowsy Denise, upon hearing that word, instantly jolted awake.

Translation: The drowsy Dai Ni Si, upon hearing that word, instantly jolted awake.

She exclaimed happily: "Great, great, let's set off now! I'm about to die of boredom!"

Translation: She exclaimed joyfully: "Great, great, let's set off now! I'm about to die of boredom!"

Helna naturally had no objection to this.

Translation: He Er Na naturally had no objection to this.

She nodded and said: "Alright, master, lead the way; we're setting off."

Translation: She nodded and said: "Alright, master leads the way, we're setting out."

Immediately, a gust of wind-type divine power swept forth, lifting the two into the air.

Translation: Immediately a strand of wind-system divine power surged forth, lifting the two into the air.

Xiao Feng took out the Divine Light Mirror, revealing the treasure's coordinates.

Translation: Xiao Feng took out the Divine Light Treasure Mirror, presenting the treasure's coordinates.

Helna glanced at it, determined the direction, and immediately rushed toward that spot.

Translation: He Er Na glanced at it, determined the direction, and immediately rushed that way.

Her speed was very fast.

Translation: Her speed was very, very fast.

Moreover, this barren mountain is not far from the treasure's location to begin with.

Translation: Moreover, this barren mountain isn't actually far from the treasure's location.

During the flight, Helna glanced at the bright light on the Divine Light Mirror and said somewhat uncertainly: "Master, the treasure you're looking for shines brightly, surpassing the quality of ordinary divine artifacts. But based on my intuition

Translation: During the flight, He Er Na looked at the bright light on the Divine Light Treasure Mirror, somewhat uncertain, and said: "Master, the treasure you're seeking, though its light is bright, exceeding the quality of ordinary divine artifacts. But based on my intuition

, it's probably not a main divine artifact."

Translation:, it's probably not a Main Divine Artifact."

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Xiao Feng frowned, feeling that as soon as she said that, the treasure's grade immediately dropped a notch.

He Er Na said: "Although I have never been to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, I have also heard of it. Divine artifacts show a special radiance on the Divine Light Treasure Mirror. This point of light, although bright, its radiance is not greatly different from ordinary divine artifacts. In my view, it may merely have reached the quality level of a divine artifact, but it is not a divine artifact; rather, it is some precious material."

It is material, not a divine artifact!

This analysis allowed Xiao Feng to accept it somewhat.

Speaking of which, if the Shen Yuan Shijie truly buried a divine artifact, the three great demon gods would have already come themselves to dig it up.

Not being a divine artifact but some material, it is possible that it was not excavated due to not recognizing its worth.

The treasure site was not far away, and they soon arrived.

This region is a large lake.

The lake of the Shen Yuan differs greatly from surface lakes, because there is no azure sky and no bright sunlight, so the whole lake looks extremely dim, like a pool of ink, pitch black.

Only upon close inspection can one see that the lake water is actually light red, like blood diluted with clear water.

Near the lake live many demon race creatures, and they have even formed some settlements.

However, they are still as before, liking to live on the mountains.

On the plains beside the lake, only a few low-level demons exist; those somewhat stronger all build cities and live on more distant hilltops.

The three skimmed past the lakeshore, heading toward the lake's center.

The coordinates of the treasure are near the lake's center, already not far away.

He Er Na moved swiftly and arrived in a moment.

After the coordinates coincided, Xiao Feng looked downward and discovered a small island at the lake's center.

To be precise, it is not called an island, but a huge rock.

"Is the treasure beneath this rock?" Xiao Feng wondered.

He Er Na led them down to land on the rock, then released her divine spirit sensing power to detect energy fluctuations around.

After a few seconds, she frowned and said: "Something is off."

"How is it off? What did you discover?" Xiao Feng asked.

Dai Ni Si also looked at her curiously.

He Er Na said: "Underwater, there seems to be a strong presence of divine elemental force. Given the environment of the Shen Yuan, this should not be the case!"

Divine elemental force?

Could there be a god in this water?
