Lin Yi effortlessly dominated Luya Country's warriors with his Eternal Law, shrugging off their advanced assaults unscathed. He swapped positions with the Green Leaf Queen, turning her stave into a popsicle and capturing her amid futile counterattacks. Demanding quest materials and intelligence, he secured them along with a solemn prophecy of the future, earning the Natural Affinity boost and Dominance title. The group returned to the instance entrance.

As the four individuals stepped out, he rushed forward with boundless enthusiasm.

Latar, hearing no alert about the dungeon's destruction, brimmed with joy, nearly jumping in delight.

He had originally intended to prepare some refreshments for Lin Yi to rest and recover the cooldown on his skills.

To his surprise, the efficiency-renowned Xia prodigy turned down the offer outright, located the [Ancient Barren Ridge] overseer, and prepared to dive into the next dungeon without delay.

[Ancient Barren Ridge] differs from a Descent Abyss dungeon. As Gangguo’s unique trial ground, entry is permitted freely once official Gangguo approval is obtained.

Because it ties into resource distribution, official surveillance equipment is installed within to curb any cheating.

Upon learning that Blue Star’s premier War God aimed to grind materials in their dungeon, Gangguo’s professionals crowded the monitoring zone with excitement, keen to behold the Xia Dragon God War God’s majestic prowess.

Lin Yi followed the guide high over the thick ancient woodland, spotting from a distance the dungeon portal secured by heavy troops.

Dozens upon hundreds of Eighth Transformation-plus professionals, clad in top-tier gear, vigilantly circled the entrance with grave faces.

Hovering over the treetops, numerous advanced aerial scanners watched intently, underscoring how vital this dungeon was to Gangguo.

Lin Yi’s team descended softly, only to be swiftly encircled by Gangguo professionals.

Once identities were verified, the sentries promptly saluted Lin Yi, hailing his presence warmly.

"Greetings, Mr. Lin Yi. Feel free to enter the dungeon assuredly. To avoid disruptions in your material gathering, Mr. Latar evacuated all professionals from it at dawn today."

"Moreover, here’s the dungeon’s strategy guide—please take good care of it~"

The sentry offered Lin Yi a Spirit Crystal holding the data, presenting it respectfully with two hands.

"Given your power, unlocking the hidden phase should be simple, letting you claim the [Heart of Earth] material you seek."

"This way, please!"

True power brings perks.

This private dungeon not only opens its doors eagerly for your run but handles all preparations too.

With setup complete, no need to hold back.

Lin Yi gave brief thanks, accepted the Spirit Crystal brimming with info, and strode straight into the [Ancient Barren Ridge] dungeon.

The instant Source Power flowed in, Lin Yi grasped the dungeon’s mechanics.

Ancient Barren Ridge consists of Blue Star remnants from ages past, tens of thousands of years old.

Some mysterious force kept these relics intact.

Ancient fearsome beasts lurk within the ruins. Dungeon entrants get shifted to a personal realm to battle them, with rewards based on waves cleared and performance per wave.

Clearing out local pros from the space? It ensures Lin Yi nails a flawless score.

Entrants do get their own isolated zones.

However, the dungeon’s overall monster spawn rate remains capped.

Tailing Lin Yi for eval with minimal stress might draw in score parasites later.

Inside Ancient Barren Ridge, a stooped old man with flowing white hair materialized gradually.

Smiling kindly, he shared with Lin Yi Blue Star’s ancient glory from millennia ago and its gradual rise to today’s grandeur.

Much of it was fluff, yet Lin Yi stayed patient without a hint of annoyance.

Environs shifted around Lin Yi, depicting Gangguo territory’s bygone splendor and vibrancy from eons back.

"Challenger, commence your trial now. Sovereigns of old from this realm shall unleash their elite forces against you—are you prepared?"

Lin Yi yawned involuntarily as he nodded.

The lengthy intro vid had lulled him sleepy, but with grinding about to kick off, alertness surged back.

"Let’s begin~"

Intel indicated Lin Yi’s opener: swarms of ultra-swift mutant cockroaches.

Frankly, scanning the briefing first time, Lin Yi suspected a misprint.

What absurdity—that a creature like this briefly ruled these lands?

Fancy name or not, it’s dubbed cockroach; plain talk, just a nasty bug.

Pity those who cleared it; battling hordes of such revolting pests to prove might—pure agony.

This initial trial gauges the pro’s close-combat prowess.

Thanks to the cockroaches' extraordinary breeding prowess, the dungeon spawns an absurd number of them—describing it as waves is no overstatement whatsoever.

This trial demands fighting back and enduring a cockroach onslaught; the longer you hold out and the more you slay, the superior your evaluation.

Insights from the Spirit Crystal reveal the cockroaches' traits: enormous builds, lightning-fast agility, bodies bristling with armaments, blood-lusting ferocity, battle-hungry nature, and a nightmare to confront.

Yet, when facing off against Insect Hive Star's dominant creatures, how much do such attributes truly matter?

Just as Lin Yi wrapped up his words, the environment suddenly morphed into a gloomy, sludge-filled marshland.

That acrid odor felt startlingly authentic, relentlessly invading Lin Yi's nostrils and prompting a grimace.

Seconds later, scratching sounds emerged from every direction.

Almost instantly, the subtle rustle escalated to a overwhelming clamor.

Via the Eye of All-Seeing, Lin Yi discovered he was encircled by no fewer than fifty thousand colossal mutant cockroaches, their horde still swelling.

These monsters loomed tall and robust, their mighty hind legs exploding with force, hurtling hundreds of meters toward Lin Yi in a flash.

Boasting such frightful velocity, their might must be formidable indeed—little wonder Gangguo deploys them for the resource assessment; it truly appears daunting.

Latar, alongside Gangguo's rulers and populace, fixed their gaze on the broadcast's giant display, eagerly awaiting Lin Yi's casual domination to secure top marks.

Lin Yi's capabilities were unquestionable.

Regrettably, Gangguo—as a minor nation bereft of strength—wields scant influence in the Blue Star Professional Alliance, rarely engaging in Blue Star's pivotal endeavors, resulting in lagged access to vital data.

Consequently, they never foresaw that [Ancient Barren Ridge]'s NPC respawn mechanism would fail, permitting a dungeon challenger to unleash such primal savagery!
