The Black Prison Evil Dog appeared in the midst of the snowy mountains, surrounded by fierce winds and blizzards.

However, it shook its body, causing the black flames on its body to contract and maintain within a ten-meter radius, melting away the surrounding wind and snow.

This made it difficult for the spiritual artifact’s formation power to invade its body.

However, once the array map unfolded, forming a barrier and pulling the opponent into its home field,

it already meant that Su Ping had taken the advantage.

In this array map, they were now in a battle arena that spanned dozens or even hundreds of square kilometers in a Small Cave Heaven.

In this arena, Su Ping could use all his techniques without worrying about stealth attacks, and he could also make full use of the provided advantages of time and location by the formation for offense and defense.

The opponent opposing him was tantamount to attacking a Second-tier Big Array.

“Dharma Aspect Divine Skill… Activate!”

Su Ping raised his left hand, the Spiritual Pearl clutched in it emitting a burst of radiance.

In the blink of an eye.

A giant golden Illusion, a hundred meters tall, appeared behind Su Ping.

At the same time, hundreds of arms emerged from the Illusion and interlocked to form a mountain-like giant hand.

This giant hand transformed illusion into reality and struck down mightily.

At the same time, the North Dipper Seven Stars in the sky shone brightly.

Three illusions of the Greedy Wolf burst forth and turned into three streaks of blue light that infused into Su Ping’s Divine Skill Tathagata Divine Palm, enhancing this strike with the Greedy Wolf Divine Sense.

The Black Prison Evil Dog opened both its heads and forcefully inhaled, then exhaled black flames.

The two streams of black flames merged into one, forming a larger fan-shaped sea of fire that collided with Su Ping’s giant hand.

Then, in the next instant, the Divine Skill Giant Hand, evidently more profound with the empowerment from Su Ping’s Spiritual Pearl, forcefully pressed down on the Black Prison Evil Dog’s heads.

The Black Prison Evil Dog stopped spitting black flames and suddenly tensed its six large legs, revealing muscles as if forged from steel.

With brute force, it cracked the ground with a snap and blocked the immense force of the Divine Skill Giant Hand.

As the Greedy Wolf Divine Sense surged along the giant hand and entered the Black Prison Evil Dog’s heads, it indeed made its mind foggy, and even black blood started flowing from its seven apertures.

Yet, it continued to stubbornly withstand the Divine Skill Giant Hand.

Meanwhile, black flames surged from its back into the mid-air, forming a translucent Illusion of the Black Prison Evil Dog.

This Illusion was even counterattacking Su Ping!

However, this Illusion’s offense was immediately seen through by Su Ping, who used the array to augment his capabilities.

With a thought, the Spiritual Pearl flew out, broke through the Illusion’s frontal defense, entered its forehead, and burst out in golden light.

This caused the Illusion of the Black Prison Evil Dog to dissipate into the snow and wind before even reaching halfway.

At the same time, Su Ping drank a Life Potion and a Mana Potion.

Relying on these to recover his mana and vitality.

Su Ping gathered his Fist Intent.

Boom!

The Black Prison Evil Dog sensed a hint of danger, black flames emanating from its body continuously neutralizing the Divine Power Giant Hand.

In just a few breaths, it had forcibly fended off the overpowering Divine Skill Giant Hand.

Then, it collided with the North Dipper Greedy Wolf Fist swung by Su Ping.

This punch, infused with the force of Breaking Army, the Seven Killings Intent, and the Greedy Wolf Divine Sense,

Lacked only the time for the potions to accumulate power but was now one of the mightiest techniques Su Ping could muster.|

The punch indeed took effect,

For the first time, it directly knocked back the charging Black Prison Evil Dog.

Scattering its body’s black flames in all directions,

And causing its massive body to crash into the snowy mountains, triggering a series of mournful mountain cries and even avalanches.

Yet, it was not enough!

The vitality of this creature was indeed worthy of being a boss in the Abyss Challenge!

Despite appearing dizzy and in disarray,

Two wolf heads even balding significantly,

Its eyes kindled with combat desire, merely shaking its massive form a few times before charging at Su Ping again.

And then it was subsequently punched and knocked flying by Su Ping again.

Boom, boom, boom!

It got up, charged, and was again punched into the air by the human who seemed as small as an ant!

The Black Prison Evil Dog, getting up once more after being knocked down again, finally didn’t continue its mindless counterattacks.

It… felt fatigue.

Confused, it wondered why its formidable physical body was so exhausted from the fierce battle.

How could that tiny human… still not fall!

Su Ping naturally had his limits too, but the potions from the shop were incredibly effective.

The physical, endurance, and mana, which were easiest to exhaust to their limits, were sustained by the Life and Mana Potions.

Coupled with the North Dipper Seven Stars Immortal Body and finally compatible North Dipper Divine Skill, as well as the blessing from the Fox-faced Witch Sakura,

The current consumption of the North Dipper Greedy Wolf Fist on his body, if only gathering energy normally for a second or two, even the hardest to recover Divine Sense was enough for him to throw twenty punches!

It was a war of attrition!

Su Ping realized he now had the capital to compete with Abyss Monsters of the same realm!

“Already feeling exhausted?”

“Then it’s time to end this!”

Su Ping, holding the Spiritual Pearl in his left hand, threw twelve Thunder Light Fox Curses with his right hand, summoning twelve Thunder Light Foxes.

At his command!

The Divine Power within the Spiritual Pearl gushed out massively.

Numerous Divine Power arms appeared around the Black Prison Evil Dog, grabbing its massive body despite the black flames bursting from it.

Then, as the Black Prison Evil Dog flashed a hint of confusion as to why these Divine Creations weren’t attacking,

It abruptly discovered three terrifying tornadoes emerging from the nearby ocean.

These tornadoes contained not only snow but also Cold Ice Heavy Water!

Although unclear about what that was,

the Black Prison Evil Dog instinctively sensed the unease and tried to evade.

In its agility, normal tornadoes wouldn’t be able to catch up.

That was also why Su Ping initially didn’t use it.

Now, with the Divine Power Giant Hand immobilizing the actions of the Black Prison Evil Dog,

its every struggle was met with the Thunder Light big move released by the continuous sacrifice of the Purple Light Foxes.

Twelve Heavenly Thunders struck simultaneously.

The thunderbolts, endowed with Divine Power, also effectively targeted the abyssal force similarly to how they would evil qi.

Though they didn’t manage to break through the tough black canine skin of the Black Prison Evil Dog,

they did paralyze it, scattering the Black Flames and strength it had struggled to gather!

Powerless to resist the hold of the Divine Power arms, it was even forced to half kneel on the snowy ground.

It could only lift its two large heads, opening its mouth wide to let out a mournful howl at the tornadoes spiraling down from the sky!

Boom!

The three tornadoes smashed onto the Black Prison Evil Dog.

Filling it continuously with Cold Ice Heavy Water.

The vitality of the Black Prison Evil Dog also grew increasingly weaker and gradually transformed into a massive ice sculpture.

After becoming an ice sculpture, the Black Prison Evil Dog was still stubbornly clinging to life.

Which made Su Ping tsks in amazement while he drank another Life Potion thereafter.

Gathering his strength, he delivered a powerful punch!

The hundred-meter Black Prison Evil Dog ice sculpture was smashed into pieces,

A notification of a successful abyssal challenge finally flashed before Su Ping’s eyes.

Su Ping delightedly looked at the substantial rewards given after the successful challenge:

[Congratulations on your first passage through ordinary difficulty]

[Clearing Settlement: Five thousand Fishing Coins, five hundred Small Experience Books, fifty Big Experience Books]

[Note, Travel Shop merchandise unlocked, ordinary Abyss Challenge Scroll, there is a chance it will refresh after next refresh with only ordinary difficulty Abyss Challenge Scroll available!]

Su Ping finished reading the tooltip.

While marveling at the life force of the abyssal monsters that resembled small resilient creatures,

he also realized that if he wanted to start more difficult abyssal challenges or wished for an easier passage through ordinary abyssal scrolls,

and face those tough skinned, well-versed in various defensive techniques, abyssal monsters…

It appeared essential to reasonably utilize the official power of Water Blue Star to alleviate his own burden!

Additionally, by leveraging Kamo Junichiro’s Netherworld Ghost Body and if the Incense Fire God could mature refined,

perhaps they could handle several waves of minor monsters on their own,

leaving him only to face the big bosses they couldn’t handle!

Furthermore, if they could take the initiative to help him farm the ordinary abyss challenges, wouldn’t that make things even easier for him?

However, these matters needed long-term planning.

Moreover, he had to pay more attention to whether there were other exotic treasures like Cold Ice Heavy Water on Water Blue Star.

This challenge was also thanks to the blessing of such an exotic treasure; otherwise, he might have had to struggle considerably and waste many items to defeat that evil dog!

After withdrawing the Array Map, Su Ping transformed into a golden light and plunged into the ocean, subsequently disappearing.

The temporal rift on the sea surface also began to slowly close after the challenge ended,

turning back into a dark red crack,

and disappeared in the blink of an eye,

as if it had never appeared in this sea area at all.

Realizing that it must have been the Transcendent who had won,

the big shots and generals from Korea breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, Huaqi Country had already prepared its forces and sent them out to clean up the battlefield and gather intelligence.

The disheveled troops from Korea, upon seeing the forces from Huaqi Country arriving at this time, were furious but dared not speak out.

Some officers also sharply realized that from the beginning, they had been used as pawns to probe the mysterious enemy.

Excuses about bases needing time to prepare, aircraft carriers being unable to support in time, some made sense, but more so, it was a comfortable justification for using them as cannon fodder!

Even if they understood this, these people could only silently curse, wishing that the next time a mysterious monster attacked Huaqi Country’s stronghold, it would give them a reason to laugh, as they couldn’t do much…

Certainly not jump out and declare that their military factories, so profitable, would start refusing orders from now on, right?

A heavily-armed helicopter from Huaqi Country slowly flew to a mountain peak near the coastline.

A few generals and experts disembarked, personally experiencing the traces of the battlefield seen in the drone footage.

Observing the damaged cannons, armored vehicles, and even some tanks, the experts whispered among themselves while taking photographs.

In their view, the attacking methods of the mysterious enemy were equally enigmatic.

Their modern defense measures might be ineffective, and perhaps instead of producing main battle tanks, it might be more cost-effective to produce self-propelled artillery for sustained firepower output.

Meanwhile, radar stealth in drones was practically futile against these monsters.

Rather than that, it would be better to directly produce large drones modeled after large bombers to serve as platforms for ground or air attacks.

Additionally, the experts made contact with their designated experimental teams on-site.

Observers who had taken stimulants or other special substances expressed that they still felt fear and joined the fleeing masses.

However, there was good news.

Observers who wore special helmets that deceived their brains and created plausible but false images seemed to be least affected,

Despite the sudden intense fear in their hearts,

they could still maintain rationality, and even continuously communicate with the rear via communication devices.

The only regret was that this observer was knocked down the mountain by a group of irrational Korean soldiers during the evacuation and is now missing, presumed dead…
