Hearing Li Cheng’s confident words, Ella was stunned for a moment.
Then, she had the urge to laugh. Li Cheng was just a mortal. Where did he get the courage to say such arrogant words?
Although Li Cheng had made some achievements in the mortal world and it was not wrong to say that he was the strongest player, he was still a mortal. There was a huge difference, an insurmountable gap, between a God and a human.
Later on, Ella carefully thought about what Li Cheng had done in the past few days. He obtained a few Legendary soldiers, killed the Goddess of Poison after she descended, and then used the hands of the various Gods to chase after the Goddess of Poison around the universe.
Then, he obtained the Frost Dragons that had been hidden for a thousand years, and in the Shadow World, Li Cheng had almost single-handedly crushed the Alliance Army that had countless players.
Ella would not underestimate Li Cheng just because he was a rookie in the mortal plane. On the contrary, when she was in the mortal plane, Ella was a female marshal. She was someone who could eliminate him. How difficult was it to do all these things?
From the looks of it, Li Cheng’s future was limitless. It was not impossible for him to become a God. When she thought of this, Ella’s mood gradually calmed down. In the end, there was an inexplicable smile at the corner of her mouth.
…
After obtaining the foundation of the Profound Empire that spanned thousands of years, Li Cheng was satisfied and left with his troops. He opened the map and looked at the coordinates displayed.
Currently, he only had two things to do in the Shadow World. The first thing was to complete Lillian’s trial. The second thing was to go to the south of the Shadow World and give the Goddess of Darkness a surprise.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng led all the troops toward the direction of the mission.
After marching for an hour, Asilia had already yawned countless times. She was staggering and almost fell asleep on Luna’s body.
After a while of marching, everyone felt a chill from the depths of their souls. At the same time, the system’s voice rang in Li Cheng’s ears.
“Ding, dong, you’ve entered an extremely dangerous area. Please, proceed with caution.”
Hearing this notification, Li Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the shadow portal not far away. Without thinking, he cast a scouting spell and the information immediately appeared.
[Shadow trial]
[Description: an unknown trial passage. No one knows where it came from or what lies inside.]
[Level: 1]
[Grade: Legendary]
[Type: Shadow Princess Lillian’s Exclusive Hero Trial]
[Content: ???]
The trial was also divided into hero and soldier types. After passing the hero trial, one’s attributes would normally increase. This was the first time Li Cheng had seen a hero’s exclusive trial.
Seeing this, Li Cheng did not hesitate and chose to enter. The moment he pressed the enter button, a light gray shadow instantly enveloped all of Li Cheng’s troops.
A few seconds later, the shadow disappeared and the system notification rang.
“Ding, dong, you’ve entered the Legendary-grade shadow trial!
“Ding, dong, after passing the current trial, your hero, Shadow Princess Lillian, will unlock the upper limit of her level
“Ding, dong, after failing the current trial, your hero, Shadow Princess Lillian, will never be able to breakthrough!
“Ding. dong, the first stage of the trial has begun. Please, complete the task according to the existing defense structures. The trial will be based on the number of enemies you’ve killed and the battle damage ratio. The higher the score, the higher the reward Lillian will receive!”
Hearing the system’s voice, Li Cheng sucked in a breath of cold air. The consequence of failing the trial was that Lillian would never be able to breakthrough. He absolutely could not accept it.
After calming himself down, Li Cheng sized up the scene in front of him. It seemed to be a small town with countless shadows anxiously wandering about.
When they saw Li Cheng and Lillian, they were first stunned. Then, they knelt on the ground and said anxiously.
“Your Highness, save us!”
“The demons are invading our city. Your Highness, they’re coming soon!”
“Don’t panic, the Princess is here. We’re saved!”
“Save us, Your Highness, please!”
At this moment, Li Cheng saw the situation clearly. It seemed that the content of the trial was to defend the town from the attack of the Demon Army.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng checked the information of the town.
[2,350 Shadow Guards (Tier 3)]
[1,050 Shadow Mages (Tier 4)]
[700 Shadow Knights( Tier 5)]
…
Looking at the town’s military strength, it could be said that it was terrible. It was fine if their ranks were low, but there were less than 10,000 people in total.
In other words, this trial mainly depended on one’s own military strength. The town’s defensive facilities were only Silver-grade city walls and nothing else.
At this moment, countless pitch-black teleportation doors suddenly appeared around the town and a terrifying aura assaulted their faces.
Sensing this aura, Li Cheng frowned slightly. This aura was simply too familiar to him.
Very quickly, countless terrifying demons slowly walked out of the teleportation doors. Their bodies were pitch-black, and there were both humanoid creatures and four-limbed animals. However, their appearances were really not to be praised.
They either had ugly horns or bloody mouths and so on…
The remaining number of demons appeared in Li Cheng’s line of sight. The total number was 368,200.
Looking at these demons, Li Cheng did not use his scouting skill. He only relied on the memory in his mind to know their attributes. Li Cheng was very familiar with demons. In his previous life, he had died at the hands of demons. This time, however…
[Demon dog (tier 4)]
[Timidity (Tier 3)]
[Snake demon (Tier 4)]
[Low-level demon lord (Tier 5)]
…
After a simple glance, Li Cheng smiled. That was it? Were those even enough for him to fight?
The highest level of this demon army was a tier five low-level demon lord. Was it there to deliver vegetables to him?
Thinking of this, Li Cheng stopped sending his troops to fight. He directly ordered his heroes to attack!
Sylvia was the fastest to charge. The Frost Dragons immediately activated their Dragon’s Breath to cleanse the ground. An enormous amount of energy instantly covered the land.
The demons had just stepped out of the teleportation portal and before they could react, they were instantly killed.
The Demon Army was directly blocked by Sylvia. They could not even get out. At the same time, Li Cheng’s ears rang with various system notifications. Seeing this scene, the residents of the town who had originally been in despair immediately cheered!
