Su Chen stepped into the depths of the palace. A thick stench of blood assaulted his senses. Not a single living person remained in the inner palace.

"You really came!"

As the voice rang out, a new message appeared on the Main God Space panel before Su Chen.

[Nightmare-level beginner instance hidden mission activated: Explore the secrets of the Great Yin Dynasty and obtain the demonic corpse.]

[Completion reward: 3000 points]

[Reminder: Once the mission is accepted, the return channel will close and will only reopen after the mission is completed.]

The twelve divine artifacts were worth only 1200 points in total. For a newcomer, 3000 points represented an enormous fortune.

The blood-clothed youth was certain Su Chen would not let the opportunity pass. And Su Chen indeed did not.

However, he was not doing it for the 3000 points.

The moment the blood-clothed youth finished speaking, blood clouds covered the sky above the entire capital. Beams of bloody light descended from above.

Since arriving in the capital, the blood-clothed youth had used his cultivation knowledge to become the Grand Preceptor of the Great Yin Dynasty.

He had discovered a shocking secret: the corpse of a Profound Connection realm expert lay within the dynasty. A Profound Connection expert could shatter mountains and seas with a wave of the hand. Relying on the knowledge in his mind, the blood-clothed youth overcame numerous difficulties, obtained the expert's inheritance, and laid multiple traps. He had been waiting patiently for Su Chen to walk into his snare.

The blood-colored pillars converged in the sky above the Great Yin Dynasty into a massive blood-red avian. Its wings could easily cover half the capital. Such power far surpassed the Spirit Vein realm and reached the Spirit Sea realm. In a world where cultivation basically ended at Spirit Gathering, the appearance of Spirit Sea-level strength was essentially invincible. This was the source of the blood-clothed youth's confidence.

"I see," Su Chen said, suddenly understanding.

He had been wondering why the mission difficulty had jumped straight from difficult to nightmare level. Now he knew the reason. The Main God Space had encountered an unexpected variable—someone like him who had been accidentally transported here.

The youth knew many cultivation secrets and had managed to obtain a Profound Connection realm inheritance with a mortal body. In a small continent, he would qualify as a minor genius.

"I knew you wouldn't ignore the hidden mission. You truly did not disappoint me. Once you die, the twelve divine artifacts will eventually be mine."

The blood-clothed youth's figure appeared in Su Chen's line of sight. He dragged a blood-stained long blade, the corners of his mouth curved in a sinister arc. His bloodthirsty eyes regarded Su Chen like prey, eager to see him struggle and despair.

To his disappointment, he saw nothing of the sort. For a moment, he even wondered if the youth before him was expressionless by nature.

"You are wrong about two things," Su Chen said.

The blood-clothed youth looked at the perfectly calm white-clothed youth in confusion.

"First, I am not interested in the hidden mission. Second, the one who will die is you."

Su Chen raised two fingers and looked at the blood-clothed youth who had dared to scheme against him.

The blood-clothed youth's plan was meticulous. To ensure complete success, he had even mobilized the power left behind by the dead demonic Profound Connection expert, intending to kill Su Chen thoroughly.

Unfortunately, he had chosen the wrong opponent.

Su Chen casually took out a long halberd—the Sky Vault Inverse Scale Halberd, one of the twelve divine artifacts. Its blade resembled dragon horns, and black scales flickered with lightning.

It felt quite comfortable in his hand.

"Are the twelve divine artifacts your trump card? The Sky Vault Inverse Scale Halberd is indeed a high-grade magical artifact, but…"

Su Chen swung the halberd down lightly with a casual tap. There were no flashy skill effects. It was merely a simple pat. The terrifying array that could trap a Spirit Sea realm expert collapsed instantly. Before the blood-clothed youth could react with shock or raise his long blade to defend, the light tap of the halberd descended like Mount Tai pressing down. In an instant, the blood-clothed youth was smashed into a pulp of flesh and blood.

Su Chen casually put away the Sky Vault Inverse Scale Halberd. Killing the blood-clothed youth was no different to him than swatting a mosquito. If a true Spirit Sea realm expert had attacked, Su Chen might have needed to put in some effort. But relying on an array? The formation the blood-clothed youth was so proud of was utterly worthless in Su Chen's eyes.

After casually completing the hidden mission, Su Chen left this world.

The moment Su Chen departed,

In a certain desolate wilderness, a little girl around seven or eight years old walked out from a protective array.

This world would soon welcome a new legend.

....

In a certain world, a young man slowly opened his eyes.

"Fuck!"

Disbelief still filled his gaze. He had laid so many traps and preparations, yet he had been casually smashed to death with a single halberd strike? What a ridiculous joke!

"Damn it, I ran into a big shot. How could a nightmare-level beginner mission in the Main God Space have such a terrifying existence!"

Even now, the young man had not recovered from the shock.

His name was Yang Jiesheng. He possessed a special innate ability called the Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Soul. In other words, he would never truly die or reincarnate. After death, he could seize the body of anyone he remembered, using their form to return. The only downside was that he could only possess those far weaker than himself.

Yang Jiesheng sensed his current body and frowned. His cultivation aptitude was terrible, and he was still a mortal… Glancing at the pillar beside him, he decisively smashed his head against it and switched to the next lucky host.

...

Inside the room, Sun Wang had originally assumed this mission would end in failure. After all, newcomers who could clear a nightmare-level instance were rarer than flying pigs. Of course, he meant ordinary pigs.

Just as he waited for news of total annihilation and prepared to return to the Main God Space, a dazzling light screen suddenly appeared in the room. A portal followed, opening to reveal a young man walking out calmly, as if he had merely gone on a casual trip to another world.

Sun Wang was stunned. He could hardly believe his eyes.

"You… you cleared the nightmare-level beginner instance?"

Sun Wang even wondered if he was hallucinating. But when he saw the additional ten points in his balance, he knew it was real. Hallucinations could not increase his points.

"Mission completed. Take me to the Main God Space."

Sun Wang nodded involuntarily, admiration shining in his eyes. He knew that given time, the young man before him would grow into an unreachable powerhouse.

No… perhaps he did not even need time. Having cleared a nightmare-level instance, the youth had likely already far surpassed him.

Truly terrifying!
