Chen Mo has reached the bottleneck of first-tier Lord of the Cosmos at Level 10 and received hints about the Realm Breakthrough Assessment. He reviewed the various difficulty levels, noting the extreme challenge of the higher tiers and the experience point cost. While considering a feasible difficulty, Chen Mo decided not to rush the assessment, planning to strengthen himself first, and examined his current attributes, which have reached the level of a Level 10 Emperor-grade Source Beast.

This output already surpasses the stats of most Emperor-grade Source Beasts. Combined with the Emperor Bell, Chen Mo can unleash 200% Cosmic Source Force intensity without depleting any Cosmic Origin Energy. Within this Time Secret Region, as long as no Source Beasts above Saint-grade emerge, Chen Mo can still dominate.

Naturally, these Source Beasts will grow more formidable the deeper one ventures, and who knows what they might transform into then.

While dispatching a multitude of Ordinary Level Source Beasts, Chen Mo found himself pondering one aspect: the experience points awarded for these creatures seemed identical to those in the outside world. He wondered why Sun Wu hadn't brought him here sooner.

Just as Chen Mo was lost in thought, he encountered several Elite Level Source Beasts.

This encounter led to a significant realization.

It turns out that within this Time Secret Region, irrespective of the grade of Source Beast slain, each yields a mere 10 experience points.

In essence, while defeating Source Beasts here does grant experience, the quantity is exceptionally meager.

This explains precisely why Sun Wu hesitated to bring him here previously.

The primary reasons are twofold: the monsters here intensify with continuous combat, and the experience gained per kill is disproportionately small.

This contrasts sharply with the outside world, where vanquishing higher-tier Source Beasts bestows exponentially more experience points than their Ordinary Level counterparts.

Moreover, given that access to this secret realm is restricted until Level 5 is achieved, Sun Wu had initially no intention of bringing Chen Mo along.

Having grasped the underlying reasons, Chen Mo suddenly recalled Sun Wu mentioning that the trial's difficulty would escalate significantly for them if they entered together as he progressed in levels.

However, at present, the heightened difficulty for ordinary monsters appears unchanged.

Chen Mo speculated if the difficulty increase Sun Wu referred to might pertain to the Secret Realm Master's power scaling based on the participating cultivators' levels?

Yet, even if that were the case, if he had entered at Level 5 and diligently farmed monsters, his own level should have ascended rapidly. Reaching Level 8, or even Level 10, should not have been an insurmountable challenge.

Isn't this supposed difficulty increase comparable to his current situation?

Baffled, Chen Mo turned his thoughts to the Heavenly Dao, seeking any available information regarding the Time Secret Region.

He soon uncovered the underlying cause.

It transpires that the monster population within the realm dynamically adjusts based on the number of challengers and their respective cultivation levels.

For instance, if Chen Mo, at Level 5, and Sun Wu, at Level 10, were to enter concurrently, the total monster count would be reduced by at least a quarter compared to their current numbers.

Do not underestimate the impact of that quarter reduction; it implies they would need to defeat an additional one-eighth of the current monster population to trigger the appearance of the Secret Realm Master.

And that additional one-eighth represents a substantial burden. After all, the more monsters one vanquishes within this Time Secret Region, the more potent the remaining beasts become in terms of their combat attributes.

Consequently, this extra one-eighth exerts a significant influence.

Nevertheless, upon witnessing Chen Mo's prodigious power, Sun Wu deemed the repercussions of this one-eighth deficit to be manageable and thus didn't dwell on it.

Through their unyielding pursuit and elimination of foes, it wasn't long before their accumulated survival time surpassed the five-thousand-minute mark.

It is noteworthy that, up to this juncture, they had only encountered Source Beasts of the highest rank, Commander-grade.

However, as the ranks of lesser Source Beasts dwindled, the frequency of high-tier Source Beast appearances began to escalate correspondingly.

These formidable creatures, previously concealed, started to reveal themselves once their lesser kin were decimated, Chen Mo observed.

The rewards for vanquishing these high-tier monsters were, unsurprisingly, exceedingly bountiful.

While their experience point gains per kill remained static at 10 points, their survival duration increased dramatically in multiplicative increments.

Precisely thirty minutes after Sun Wu and Chen Mo initiated their foray into the Time Secret Region.

Their cumulative survival duration had surged to an impressive 50,000 minutes.

Concurrently, the combat attributes of the monsters dwelling within had also seen a substantial augmentation.

Of course, Chen Mo and Sun Wu's own attributes were not static either, as numerous Attribute Light Orbs were scattered throughout the Time Secret Region for acquisition.

However, it must be noted that some of these Attribute Light Orbs bestowed temporary enhancements.

Chen Mo had collected Attribute Light Orbs that boasted a 100% increase to All Attributes on two separate occasions; regrettably, each effect endured for a mere sixty seconds.

Subsequently, he adopted a more prudent approach, inquiring from Sun Wu if any method existed to ascertain the precise attributes bestowed by these Light Orbs prior to absorption.

This was to prevent the squandering of such potent, albeit fleeting, attribute-boosting orbs.

The rationale was that absorbing these Attribute Light Orbs, capable of dramatically and temporarily amplifying All Attributes, while confronting the Secret Realm Master could significantly bolster their combat prowess in the final confrontation.

Alas, according to Sun Wu, no such identification method was available.

The amplification effects could only be discerned after the orbs were absorbed.

Initially, Chen Mo simply assumed it was a matter of luck. However, a sudden thought struck him: what if Zhui Yi were to interact with the light orbs?

Logically, these orbs were meant for the Lord of the Cosmos to absorb, and Zhui Yi, as an outer incarnation, shouldn't be able to absorb them, being linked to a cosmic secret treasure.

This led Chen Mo to hypothesize that if Zhui Yi couldn't absorb the energy light orbs but could analyze the specific attribute amplification they contained upon contact, he could then leverage these orbs perfectly.

Impulsively, he decided to put this theory to the test.

The outcome was nothing short of discovering a new world.

When Zhui Yi touched an energy light orb, Chen Mo, through their sync, effortlessly perceived the attribute amplification held within.

Following Zhui Yi's contact with the orb, Chen Mo also received a Heavenly Path's Hint.

[The Heavenly Path's Hint: This energy light orb can only be absorbed by the Lord of the Cosmos; the outer incarnation is incapable of absorbing it. Please take note.]

Receiving this confirmation from the Heavenly Dao, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile; this was fantastic news.

His primary concern had been the possibility of the outer incarnation absorbing the orbs. The fact that it couldn't was the optimal scenario for him.

This arrangement allowed him to have Zhui Yi evaluate all the energy light orbs, identify those granting permanent effects to absorb, and set aside those with temporary effects.

When the time came to confront the Master of the Secret Realm later, he planned to absorb all the temporarily boosted orbs simultaneously.

However, he had kept this discovery from Sun Wu, intending to surprise him when the Master of the Secret Realm eventually appeared.

Having already assimilated numerous energy light orbs that provided permanent attribute enhancements, Chen Mo intentionally left many temporary effect orbs within his territory.

These temporary attribute-boosting energy light orbs could significantly amplify a wide array of stats. Coupled with the stacking nature of all energy light orb attribute boosts, this enabled Chen Mo to absorb all the temporary orbs at once for a substantial surge in his attributes.

Yet, whether permanent or temporary, the vast majority of energy light orbs that boosted attributes did so based on a percentage of the Lord of the Cosmos's base stats.

Only a select few offered numerical value increases.

Consequently, merely by absorbing the permanent attribute-boosting energy light orbs, Chen Mo's stats vastly surpassed those of Sun Wu.

This was the advantage gained from having his initial growth value deemed perfect by the Heavenly Dao.

After they had annihilated a significant number of Lord-grade and Tyrant-grade Source Beasts.

King-grade and Emperor-grade Source Beasts began to manifest within their respective domains.

Thanks to the absorption of numerous energy light orbs to bolster their attributes, both Chen Mo and Sun Wu could effortlessly dispatch even King-grade and Emperor-grade Source Beasts, whose attributes were enhanced due to the massive demise of lesser monsters.

However, the appearance of Saint-grade or higher Source Beasts would undoubtedly present a far greater challenge.

Sun Wu had already signaled that their current kill count was approaching the halfway mark. If Saint-grade or superior Source Beasts appeared in both their areas, they might consider a strategic shift to the Spring and Autumn regions. Accumulating a few more kills there would fulfill the prerequisite of defeating half the secret realm's Source Beasts, thereby summoning the Master of the Secret Realm.

Nevertheless, Chen Mo was hesitant to depart casually, given the multitude of energy light orbs he had left behind. Even if Saint-grade Source Beasts were to materialize, his current attributes rendered him utterly fearless.
