The Second Heaven and Earth Trial

Zhang Zhi discovered that the people in the Small World could not touch the Light Cluster, and his face lit up with delight.

The Light Cluster should be one of the extremely rare special rewards mentioned in the materials he had read—something only a Realm Lord could pick up.

It seemed the Multiverse was quite satisfied with the Small World he had opened?

He flashed to the Light Cluster and reached out to touch it.

As soon as the Light Cluster came into contact with Zhang Zhi's hand, it immediately surged into him. From a distance, it looked more like Zhang Zhi's hand had absorbed the Light Cluster.

From Zhang Zhi's perspective, after the light poured into his body, it followed his projection toward the World Bead.

Once the World Bead absorbed all the light from the Light Cluster, a pattern appeared on it.

Zhang Zhi was somewhat puzzled as he looked at the pattern that had appeared on the World Bead.

What was this thing?

This was the Heaven and Earth Trial's reward from the Multiverse. It couldn't be merely decorative, right? It should be something good, shouldn't it?

Uh, forget it. Was he going to have to search for information in the library again?

But this reward seemed rather special. The Small Library might not have any information on it.

Just as he was wondering what the pattern on the World Bead meant, the cheers coming from beside his projection jolted him out of his thoughts.

When he came to his senses and looked up, he discovered that the Chaos around the Small World's boundaries was continuously transforming into stretches of land that connected to the Small World. There were even mineral veins of various colors among them.

At the same time, vast amounts of Chaos Qi transformed into a white mist and surged into the Small World. All the creatures were frantically absorbing the mist.

The changes in the Small World lasted nearly half a day.

Half a day later, as the Chaos Qi settled down, Zhang Zhi's Small World had expanded to nearly fifteen thousand square kilometers, while its thickness had increased from seven hundred meters to approximately one thousand four hundred meters.

Looking at the considerably larger Small World, Zhang Zhi thought, It seems the Multiverse is extremely satisfied with my Small World!

The Small World had doubled in size. This was essentially the maximum Heaven and Earth reward.

If that was the case, then the creatures throughout the Small World should have gained quite substantial benefits as well, right?

He flashed to Fang Yun's side and found that he did not seem to have changed much. After glancing around, he saw that there were still eleven Mortal Transformation Realm cultivators nearby.

It seemed the humans had not received many benefits?

After thinking for a moment, he flashed to the small city.

Seeing the auras of people inside the small city gradually breaking through from Ordinary Realm to Elite Realm, Zhang Zhi finally nodded.

It seemed they had not received few benefits. Rather, Fang Yun and the others had foundations that were too deep.

For example, if an ordinary person's aptitude was five and this Heaven and Earth reward increased aptitude by five, then an ordinary person's aptitude would instantly double. Naturally, that was an enormous benefit.

But Fang Yun's aptitude might be five hundred, or it might be one thousand. An increase of five points in aptitude would barely make a difference to him.

Thus, the ones who benefited the most this time were the ordinary people who had previously been unable to advance to the Elite Realm because of their aptitude.

That was why nothing had happened in the Elite Realm, while people in the Ordinary Realm had broken through to the Elite Realm one after another.

Just as Zhang Zhi was thinking of going to see whether the Flat Peach Tree grove had gained anything, the Chaos at the Small World's boundary began to churn again.

The second Heaven and Earth Trial had arrived!

What formed at the beginning were tens of thousands of ordinary monsters at Gray Rank.

Zhang Zhi was shocked at the sheer number of monsters. According to the materials, when a Small World advanced into a Medium World, there should not be so many Chaos Monsters.

Could it be that the first trial had been resolved too quickly, so the Multiverse had increased the difficulty?

Then he thought about it. The larger the scale of the monster invasion, the better the reward would certainly be. His Small World's strength was not weak either, so there should be no problem... right?

After Fang Yun in the Small World learned that the number of monsters had exceeded expectations, he gestured to someone beside him. A plume of black smoke then shot into the sky.

When the people remaining in the city saw the black smoke, several teams that had already been fully prepared immediately left the city and rushed toward its location.

This time, aside from those who had just advanced, practically all the humans in the Elite Realm came out in full force.

When roughly one-third of the ordinary monsters from the first wave had been killed, hundreds of Elite Realm Chaos Monsters slowly took shape and charged toward the Small World.

With the arrival of the Elite Realm Chaos Monsters, the humans' fierce offensive ground to a halt.

Looking at the chaotic battlefield, Zhang Zhi felt like covering his face and walking away. Having grown accustomed to the grand battle scenes in movies from his previous life, the battlefield before him looked like a brawl between amateurs.

Just as he was letting his thoughts run wild, ten even more powerful auras entered the Small World.

Mortal Transformation Realm Chaos Monsters had appeared—and there were ten of them.

With the appearance of the Mortal Transformation Realm Chaos Monsters, the Mortal Transformation Realm experts on Fang Yun's side, who had remained on standby, all chose opponents and charged forward.

But the Mortal Transformation Realm Chaos Monsters were not lacking in intelligence.

After discovering that there were not many humans on the battlefield, they actually knew to split up and advance toward the interior of the Small World.

Everywhere they passed, vast amounts of matter within the Small World were assimilated into Chaos Qi. After churning for a while, that Chaos Qi actually transformed into one Chaos Monster after another.

Fang Yun was alarmed when he discovered this and hurriedly chased after those monsters.

However, the Chaos Monsters had split into too many groups. He could not be in multiple places at once and was utterly unable to handle them all.

Some members of the human teams that had been fighting large numbers of Chaos Monsters began withdrawing from the front line, seemingly intending to split off and help Fang Yun.

Zhang Zhi threw his head back and sighed when he saw this.

If you split off forces here, the Chaos Monsters currently engaged in battle will no longer be restrained. They will certainly send even more groups toward the interior of the Small World.

Fine. Fang Yun clearly was not suited to leading troops in battle.

Unable to bear watching any longer, Zhang Zhi waved his hand. A stone wall ten zhang wide and several dozen zhang high rose along the edge of the battlefield.

He was expending World Power and using the World Bead to alter the terrain of the Small World.

When the stone wall appeared, the humans still fighting let out cheers.

Fang Yun, who had originally seen the situation beginning to slip out of control, also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the stone wall.

The stone wall was quite thick, so the Chaos Monsters could not break through it for the time being.

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the teams sent from the city soon arrived as well. At the opening Zhang Zhi had deliberately left, they established a defensive line and firmly blocked the Chaos Monsters that had split off.

With the vast majority of the Chaos Monsters blocked at the opening, it was clear that they could no longer cause much trouble within the Small World.

The Chaos Monsters were dealt with by Fang Yun one group after another.

The battle lasted roughly three hours. When Fang Yun killed the last group of Chaos Monsters roaming through the Small World, the second Heaven and Earth Trial finally ended.
