Chen Mo and Zhui Yi held off The King of Emperor's Abyss, weakening its massive defensive amplification through continuous attacks with the Obscure Demon Bow while Sun Wu broke the suppression array in Sea King City. With their attributes restored ahead of schedule, they pursued and obliterated the King-grade Source Beast using the Emperor Bell, securing its Origin Core and materials. The victory granted experience points, survival time, and a Beginner's Gift Pack for their first King-grade kill, as Sun Wu explained the value of rare Heavenly Path titles and shared acquisition conditions.

After Chen Mo and Sun Wu jointly vanquished the King-grade Source Beast, the King of Emperor's Abyss, in Sea King City.

An extra prompt from the Heavenly Dao came their way too.

[The Heavenly Dao's Hint: You have successfully eliminated the current King of the Underground City, which has evolved to King-grade, fulfilling the requirements to conquer the Underworld City!

You are granted an additional 100 hours of survival time.

You have obtained an extra 'Level 10 Dungeon Strategy Gift Pack'.

This dungeon is closing shortly; prepare for teleportation out in 10 seconds.]

"So killing a King-grade Source Beast forces this dungeon to shut down completely." Chen Mo said, astonished.

"Not quite—it's because the dungeon we're in right now has a King-grade Source Beast as its boss."

"Oh? What happens if the dungeon's leader isn't a top-tier Source Beast?"

"Normally, every dungeon that opens features at least one tyrant-grade Source Beast; without that, it wouldn't activate."

"Got it. So our current dungeon must still have tyrant-grade Source Beasts lurking around. Why does slaying just one King-grade force it to close right away?"

"That ties into the dungeon's second rule: once no Source Beasts above tyrant-grade remain, and players wipe out all tyrant-grade ones, the dungeon seals itself shut. It stays closed until at least five new tyrant-grade Source Beasts spawn.

But if a King-grade Source Beast emerges, taking it down triggers an instant closure for the whole dungeon, which won't reopen until another King-grade appears."

"And if the dungeon starts with Source Beasts beyond King-grade?"

"Should an Emperor-grade Source Beast guard the place, downing it alone won't close things. The dungeon only seals after every King-grade Source Beast inside is eliminated."

"Meaning as long as a King-grade Source Beast lives, the dungeon stays open."

"Exactly."

"Does a higher-tier top Source Beast in the dungeon mean bigger rewards for clearing it?"

"Yeah, basically—dungeons stuck at just tyrant-grade give the poorest rewards, so nobody bothers clearing every tyrant-grade out and wastes the chance.

Players usually wait for a King-grade to spawn before making their move.

Clearing a King-grade ruled dungeon nets rewards like ours: around 100 hours of survival time plus a Level 10 Dungeon Strategy Gift Pack."

"Hey, what's in these gift packs anyway? You mentioned the Heavenly Dao in the Sea of Cosmos stopped handing out gear directly, right?"

"Correct, though no direct equipment drops from Heavenly Dao, it hands out tons of rare, premium materials instead. Gift packs typically hold top-tier stuff, and cosmic secret treasures built from them pack stronger effects and extra attributes."

At Sun Wu's words, Chen Mo quickly replied, "So standard first-tier cosmic secret treasures usually have one attribute, but Heavenly Dao's rare materials can bump that up?"

"Spot on."

Chen Mo grinned upon hearing that.

His Composing Ability already crafts cosmic secret treasures with multiple attributes by default.

That puts him on par with treasures made from Heavenly Dao's special reward materials, effortlessly.

And composing cosmic secret treasures made from those elite materials? Even his basic ones could end up loaded with attributes.

The thought thrilled Chen Mo.

No one else could pull that off.

"Besides rare premium materials, what other goodies hide in these gift packs?"

"Well, there are special boosters that raise the attribute cap on cosmic secret treasures, though they max out at doubling the original values.

Even doubled, they might just match a higher-tier treasure's power, and without strong base growth, tier-skipping in fights stays tough." Sun Wu wrapped up, eyeing Chen Mo before adding, "You're the exception, though, you freak."

Chen Mo gave a wry smile. "All down to the grind from my lower realm days."

"Had you not brought it up, it'd be alright. But since you did, I'm tempted to smack you. Through my Eagle-Eyed gaze, you're not even twenty yet. Even starting your training inside your mother's womb, that's just a little over ten years, but the resources you've gathered utterly surpass what others amass across a thousand years." Sun Wu rolled his eyes as he spoke.

Chen Mo burst out laughing right away and replied, "It's all luck."

While the pair conversed, a mighty force abruptly pulled them from the Sea King City world, hurling them back into the Sea of Cosmos.

All around were countless puzzled Lords of the Cosmos, who moments before had been gleefully slaying monsters within, only to get yanked out of the dungeon without warning.

Was an elite squad tackling the King-grade Source Beast today?

However, they hadn't detected a single sign of it.

"Brother Sun Wu, with the dungeon now vanished, where do we go next?"
