Chapter 1100: Tackle Challenges

Xu Fan glanced over the items on the exchange list and nodded, pleased to find them better than he had anticipated.

Just then, the first level’s world shattered, revealing a premium magical staff that gleamed with a metallic sheen, right in front of Xu Fan.

"This is your reward for the first level," the little light snake announced.

Xu Fan looked at the staff, chuckled, and then moved on to the next level.

The second level was filled with flying bird beasts. Xu Fan swiftly disrupted the spiritual energy among the flock, causing them to scatter.

Effortlessly, Xu Fan made his way to the 1,001st step.

This level was devoid of any beasts or adversaries.

A man dressed in a blue robe sat quietly before a chessboard.

"Time stands still here. Win the game against me, and you may proceed to the next level," the man in blue gestured for Xu Fan to take a seat.

Xu Fan sat down and inquired, "If time is frozen here, can it also be accelerated?"

"I’m not sure," the man in blue replied with a shake of his head.

"Then let’s play," Xu Fan said, eager to proceed.

"You may start," the man in blue offered.

Xu Fan gave him a curious look, then placed a black stone on the board.

Half an hour later, with the man staring in disbelief, Xu Fan stood up and moved on to the next level.

"Amusing, not knowing my strength and letting me go first," Xu Fan mused with a smile, finding the challenge quite enjoyable.

The 1,002nd level presented a game of Gomoku on an infinitely large board.

Again, half an hour passed, and the man’s face showed the same disbelief.

Xu Fan walked past the chess-playing man without a second glance.

In the 1,003rd level, the game was related to the essence of the space wide road. After grasping the rules, Xu Fan completed it in half an hour.

He continued this pattern up to the 2,000th level, engaging in various chess games. These trials slightly enhanced his chess prowess.

"Someone with lesser chess talent might not get through this for a million years," Xu Fan commented, looking back.

From the 2,000th level, Xu Fan could faintly see the virtual images of the worlds he had previously conquered.

At the 2,001st level, Xu Fan felt as though he had returned to a mortal state.

Nearby, a swordsman in ancient attire stood with his sword.

Suddenly, a sword descended from the sky and landed in front of Xu Fan.

"You have unlimited chances for revival until you defeat the swordsman before you."

"Surpassing those 1,000 levels of chess prowess was impressive, but from here, the real challenges begin," the little light snake said.

"Master, let me consume this snake; I believe my logical computing power will increase by thirty percent," Grape’s voice echoed in Xu Fan’s mind.

"Patience, let’s first understand this place of inheritance," Xu Fan reassured himself.

He gently pulled the sword from the ground and flicked it with his finger, producing a resonant Sword Sound.

"Alright, the person who forged this sword is indeed a skilled craftsman," Xu Fan remarked with admiration, holding the sword as he walked towards the distant swordsman.

"Why is the Supreme Light God testing a genius of the essence of time and space with unrelated challenges?" Xu Fan inquired cautiously.

"I’m not sure; this is a test set by the master," the little light snake replied.

The little light snake watched lazily from the side. Every time someone took on a challenge in this place of inheritance, it was his happiest moment.

He enjoyed watching the challengers suffer through prolonged torment, unable to escape the place of inheritance, their visible pain bringing him great satisfaction.

"That swordsman over there possesses the strongest swordsmanship of the mortal stage. The fastest person to pass this challenge took 300,000 years," the little light snake commented as Xu Fan slowly approached the swordsman.

"And how long did the longest take?" Xu Fan suddenly turned, showing no concern for the nearby swordsman.

"Ten million years! He completely destroyed the spirit of that true immortal," the little light snake said excitedly.

"How many years do you think I’ll last in this challenge?"

"At least 500,000 years, I’d say."

"Don’t worry, the flow of time here is extremely slow. With the strength of your spirit, you could last 20 million years without a problem," the little light snake joked.

Just then, a flash of sword light caught the little light snake’s eye.

The swordsman’s head rolled to the little light snake’s feet.

"Sorry to disappoint you," Xu Fan said with a slight smile.

Later, under the little light snake’s disappointed gaze, Xu Fan breezed through one level after another.

In his mortal state, he faced a variety of weapons: swords, spears, staffs, axes, halberds, forks, and many others he had never seen before.

Yet, without exception, his opponents could only last three moves at most.

Soon, Xu Fan arrived at the entrance of the 3,001st level.

He checked his points—three million in total.

"Help me find Time Treasures," Xu Fan said, scanning the exchange list in the treasury.

The light curtain before him shifted, displaying various forms of Time Treasures.

"Exchange all my points for Time Treasures," Xu Fan told the little light snake.

"Are you sure you want to exchange three million points for Time Treasures?"

Xu Fan nodded.

A teleportation formation appeared before him, and an array of Time Treasures materialized.

"Master, these Time Treasures should accelerate the originally required 8,000 years of time," Grape’s voice echoed in Xu Fan’s mind.

"That means the remaining Time Treasures from this place of inheritance will be enough," Xu Fan said, pleasantly surprised.

"Based on the inventory of Time Treasures in the place of inheritance you’ve checked, it should cover your future needs."

"Great, let’s keep tackling challenges," Xu Fan said, storing the batch of Time Treasures.

At the 3,001st level, Xu Fan’s realm was set to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Before him stretched a wide road, ten thousand miles wide and ninety million miles long.

The road was teeming with beasts, and as Xu Fan looked up, he could even sense beasts at the Nascent Soul stage.

"From this level onward, killing each beast will earn you points."

"And levels 3,001 to 4,000 are merged into one," the little light snake added.

"Is there a time limit?" Xu Fan asked.

"No, but the longer you stay in one place, the stronger beasts will come to ambush you," the little light snake explained.

"Nice, merging 1,000 challenges into one makes things easier."

"But for this level, we can’t kill them one by one—that’s too slow," Xu Fan said as he stepped onto the ninety million-mile-long road.

Finally, a black shadow representing the road of death appeared behind Xu Fan, emitting endless black mist.

Wherever it passed, the beasts infected by the black mist went berserk, frantically killing and devouring nearby beasts.

With each beast’s death, it transformed into a death worm, seeking new beast hosts.

"This is the first time I’ve used such an evil ability—the effect is quite impressive."
