Everyone's Class: One Effort, 10,000x Bonus Reward!

Awe, fear, jealousy, and even deep despair were written across everyone’s faces.

They were all from the younger generation. They were still struggling with all their might just to deal with one or two monsters of the same level.

But this man could wipe out dozens of high-level undead with a single move.

At this moment, the pride of the hidden families was crushed by Aiden in the most direct and overwhelming way.

"Let’s go."

Aiden lightly patted the dust that did not exist on his robe. His expression was calm, as if he had only crushed a group of ants. Then he stepped forward and continued walking deeper into the secret realm.

The corners of Cheryl’s lips lifted slightly. Her eyes were full of pride as she quickly followed him.

Victor and Jade looked at each other. Both of them saw the same passion and worship in each other’s eyes.

As the group moved deeper, the gravity around them began to increase many times over. The bones scattered across the ground also became larger and larger. Some of them even seemed to shine with a faint divine glow.

It was clear that the treasures here were of a higher level, but the danger had also risen by a terrifying amount.

Boom—

At that moment, a deep rumbling sound suddenly came from the deepest part of the secret realm.

A terrifying pressure, more than a hundred times stronger than that of the undead warriors from before, swept toward them like a huge wave.

Along with that pressure, an enormous floating shadow slowly appeared in the sky, so large that it seemed to block out the sun.

Aiden paused for a moment. A cold smile curved on his lips. His gaze pierced through the thick mist and locked onto the direction of that shadow.

"The game has only just begun."

...

As the blood mist faded, the first-layer plain of the Land of Fallen Gods was fully revealed before everyone’s eyes.

The power of the purple-gold lightning still lingered in the air. From time to time, tiny arcs of electricity jumped across the scorched black earth.

Behind them, the Reclasser armies from different countries wore complicated expressions. They felt lucky to have survived, but more than that, they were afraid of Aiden’s almost godlike strength.

"So this is the Great Shaw Empire’s National Martial Guardian?"

A young man carrying a huge golden sword on his back gave a cold snort. There was caution in his eyes, but even more pride and defiance.

He was Gideon of the Wycliffe Family, a level 78 Holy Swordsman, and one of the leading figures of the younger generation among the hidden families.

Beside him stood a giant of a man with his arms crossed. His muscles bulged like coiled dragons, giving off a wild and violent aura of blood and power.

Finn of the Dawes Family, a level 76 Berserker.

"He only had the advantage because lightning counters undead. In a real fight, my Dawes Family’s Stone Battle Aura might not lose to him."

Finn’s voice was like muffled thunder, making the ears of those around him ache.

The hidden families had always stood above others. In their eyes, no matter how strong the ordinary nations of Earth were, they could never compare to hidden families with the backing of gods.

"Don’t be careless. I can’t even see through the strength of his soul."

Jenna took a deep breath. A faint phantom of Ksitigarbha flickered around her body, and her beautiful face was filled with seriousness.

Ahead of them, an ancient herb garden suddenly appeared, glowing with soft treasure light. Countless rare plants from ancient times swayed among the ruins.

However, above the herb garden, a level 80 "Nine Nether Bone Dragon" was circling and roaring. Its terrifying dragon pressure was so strong that it twisted the space around it.

"This bone dragon belongs to the Wycliffe Family!"

Gideon drew his sword. In an instant, brilliant golden holy light shot into the sky and turned into a sword aura hundreds of feet long.

"Get out of my way! I can smash it with one punch!"

Finn let out a wild laugh and took a heavy step forward. The ground cracked inch by inch beneath him as he shot toward the Nine Nether Bone Dragon like a falling meteor.

Both of them were eager to prove the strength of the hidden families in front of everyone. The moment they attacked, they used their strongest killing moves.

Aiden’s face showed no emotion. He did not even bother to lift his eyes.

He only slowly raised his hand and flicked his finger.

A tiny red flame, so weak it looked like it might go out at any moment, floated gently from Aiden’s fingertip.

[Ding! Detected that the host has cast an ordinary Fireball. Triggering 10,000x critical hit!]

[10,000x critical hit triggered successfully! "Fireball" has been upgraded to—"Ancient Heaven-Burning Divine Flame: Eight Wastelands Destruction"!]

Boom!

That tiny flame expanded in the air in an instant, turning into a nine-headed fire phoenix so huge that it seemed to cover the sky.

A terrifying heat that no one could look at directly burned through the space within tens of thousands of meters, turning it into a pitch-black void.

The level 80 Nine Nether Bone Dragon, which had been about to roar, touched only the remaining heat of the fire phoenix.

It did not even have time to scream before it was erased from existence.

Even the dried bloodstains that had covered the wasteland for thousands of years were completely evaporated by this attack, turning into thin trails of smoke.

Gideon’s hundred-meter sword aura froze in midair. Its golden light was instantly snuffed out under the pressure of the divine flame.

Finn’s wild laughter stopped at once. His whole body froze in the air, and a dry, choking sound came from his throat. His face turned as pale as paper.

One attack.

Not even ashes were left.

[Ding! Detected that the host has collected "Withered Inner Spirit Fragment" x1. Triggering 10,000x critical hit. Obtained "Complete High-Level Inner Spirit Fragment" x1!]

[Ding! Detected that the host has collected "Damaged Fire Law Fragment" x1. Triggering 10,000x critical hit. Obtained "Blazing Law Crystal" x10!]

Aiden waved his sleeve.

Countless treasures falling from the sky poured into his storage space like shooting stars.

This almost ruthless collection speed made the eyes of all the Reclassers behind him turn red with envy.

But not a single person dared to move.

"What... what kind of monster is he?"

Nellie looked at Aiden’s tall back. Her beautiful eyes were filled with bitterness and admiration.

She was also one of the younger generation. She had always been proud of her Mythic Rank class.

But in front of Aiden, she did not even have the right to make a move.

Jenna closed her eyes. The Ksitigarbha phantom around her body gave off a soft glow as she pushed her Ksitigarbha perception to its limit.

As a Mythic Rank Ksitigarbha’s Emissary, she had a special ability that allowed her to see the good and evil in a person’s heart.

However, in her senses, Aiden’s soul had not the slightest trace of darkness or evil.

Instead, it was pure, like a cold pool so deep that its bottom could not be seen.

"He has this kind of world-destroying strength, yet he can still keep such a pure heart..."

Jenna was deeply shaken. A strange light appeared in her beautiful eyes.

She could not help but take a few graceful steps toward Aiden, wanting to feel that gentle yet vast soul energy up close.

"Aiden, my Ksitigarbha perception tells me that ahead..."

Jenna’s voice was soft, with a hint of active closeness.

However, before she could get within three feet of Aiden, a pretty dark-red figure appeared beside him like a ghostly breeze and blocked her path.

Cheryl held her witch tool in her hand. Her armor shone faintly in the dim light, and her beautiful eyes watched Jenna with caution.

"Jenna, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you standing so close?"

There was a faint trace of jealousy in Cheryl’s voice. She stayed close to Aiden’s other side, silently showing her claim over him.

Jenna was slightly stunned. Then she covered her mouth and laughed softly. She understood the situation and stopped where she was.

Aiden shook his head helplessly but said nothing. His eyes remained fixed ahead.

As the group continued deeper, the gravity of the land suddenly doubled, pressing down so hard that many Reclassers could barely move.

A broken ancient stone tablet stood at the entrance leading to the second layer of the secret realm.

Carved on the tablet was a huge warship that seemed large enough to cover the sky. Countless gods were shown falling beneath it.

"This is... a clue about the ancient Floating City!"

Victor’s eyes lit up. He quickly stepped forward, his face full of excitement.

But Aiden suddenly frowned slightly.

His gaze, sharp as a blade, locked onto the shadow beside the stone tablet.

There, a wisp of black energy, extremely hidden yet full of savage violence, flashed and disappeared.

That was definitely not the death energy of the undead.

It was demonic energy from the Abyss Demons!

"Interesting."

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Aiden’s mouth, and killing intent surged in his eyes.

"Looks like humans aren’t the only ones who came in."

"Aiden, what did you find?" Jade asked, placing a hand on the hilt of her sword. Her expression turned serious.

Aiden gently touched the scorched mark on the stone tablet with his fingertip. Faint arcs of lightning flickered around his finger.

"Demonic energy. And it smells like a high-level Demon."

Everyone’s heart tightened. The relaxed mood from before vanished in an instant.

"Hmph. I don’t care what kind of Demon it is. If it dares to fight us for the Floating City, I’ll cut it down with one strike!" Victor snorted coldly.

"Let’s go. Enter the second layer."

Aiden patted the dust off his sleeve and was the first to step through the gate behind the stone tablet.

After passing through the twisted space tunnel, the scene before them changed completely.

The gravity doubled again. The air was filled with an ancient, heavy aura that made it hard to breathe.

Ahead of them stood a half-collapsed ancient temple. Among the broken walls and ruins, a huge mural covered an entire wall.

"Look, that’s..." Jenna’s beautiful eyes narrowed, and she could not help crying out in surprise.

Everyone looked up at the same time, staring at the mural that had remained clear even after countless years.

On the mural, a giant city floated above an endless sea of clouds, so huge that it seemed to cover the sky. It looked like the home of gods.

On its walls, countless mysterious law runes were carved in dense lines. Every cannon tower gave off a terrifying power that seemed capable of destroying the world.

And at the very center of the Floating City, a massive tower rose into the clouds, like the backbone holding up heaven and earth.

"The Tower of Laws..."

Aiden murmured to himself, his eyes falling on the ancient words at the side of the mural.

Those words appeared and disappeared within the golden light, giving off a deep sense of history that made everyone’s heart tremble.

[Floating City: The ultimate war weapon of the human race. It floats high in the sky and moves as fast as the wind. Its Law Divine Cannons can cover an area of a thousand miles with firepower. Anyone below level 100 will be killed instantly!]

[Activation requirement: At least ten level 95 Venerables must pour all their energy into it to awaken the core Tower of Laws.]

"Hiss—!"

Gasps echoed through the temple one after another. Everyone’s breathing became rapid.

"Anyone below level 100 dies instantly... This is basically an unbeatable weapon against anyone beneath the gods!"

"Ten level 95 Venerables? Even if the Great Shaw Empire used all its power, it probably couldn’t gather that many top fighters!"

"But if we can control it, the balance of power on Earth will be completely changed!"
