'Huh? What?'

Leo was not surprised by the sudden teleportation from his resting room to the sixth floor; however, when he heard Heaven's Voice's words, he was shocked.

[From the sixth floor to the tenth floor, there won't be any rewards or rest for the challenger as he needed to complete four minor elemental trials to clear the next four floors]

Heaven's Voice explained about the challenges in detail that he would take the challenges back-to-back without any rest.

"Is it because of my God Space?"

Leo was quick to suppress his emotions as he asked Heaven's Voice about it.

[Yes…of course, if you can use the [Floor Clearance Card] to skip one of the four trials]

[As long as you clear the four trials, you will directly become an elite challenger and gain access to the 11th floor along with an additional reward]

[Clear them as soon as possible to increase your clearance rating to get good rewards]

There were a series of announcements from Heaven's Voice, making Leo nod his head in understanding.

Even though challenging four floors back-to-back would be troublesome, Leo felt it was alright because at least his difficulty in the real challenge would decrease.

'With my [Nether Rage Booster], I can always return to my peak condition. So, there is no need for me to use the resting room.'

This was what Leo thought in his head as he checked his surroundings.

It was a desert and as far as his eyes could see he was surrounded by the sand.

[Sixth floor's challenge: Kill 10 Devil Desert Centipedes within one day ]

While Leo was checking, Heaven's Voice announced his challenge for the sixth floor.

'Devil Desert Centipedes? In the desert?'

Leo frowned and hurriedly became alert because, from the name of the creatures, Leo could tell they are natives of the desert.

Hence, it would become more troublesome to kill them.

'If it is easy, then it won't be called a challenge.'

Leo shook his head as he waited for the Desert Centipedes to attack him.

'Huh? Why are they not attacking me?'

However, not a single centipede attacked Leo even after five minutes, making him frown.

Putting aside the attacks, the most important thing was, there was no trace of those Devil Desert Centipedes.

"Wait a second…what if they don't show themselves for the whole day? It will be considered a failure, right?"

Unlike the previous floors, where his opponents were dying to kill him, the opponents in this floor were hiding from him.

'I can use the [Talent Card] to temporarily unseal the [Earth Manipulation] to see where they are hiding in this sand but I still have three more trials after this.'

With his current talents and strength, Leo knew it would be quite hard to make the devil centipedes come out of their hiding unless they want to come out.

'If nothing works, I can only use [Talent Card] to complete this trial.'

Leo was not in a hurry to use the [Talent Card], hoping that he could find other ideas and after racking his brain for another five minutes, Leo thought of something.

'I don't know whether it will work or not; however, there is no harm in trying it.'

With that thought in mind, Leo took out a fragment of the God Stone.

'If they were the guardians of this floor, they might be observing me right now and all ascending beings needed God Energy, they might want this fragment of the God Stone.'

Even the forest manticore he encountered on the fifth floor was an ascended beast with the strength of low-level Mythcial Grade.

After killing it, Leo even received 2 units of God Energy. So, Leo was sure that the Devil Desert Centipedes on this floor would be Ascending Beasts.

As for the fragment of God Energy, even though it contains one-tenth or even fewer units of God Energy compared to a God Stone, Leo hoped it would be enough to bring out the centipedes hiding underground.

'Swiish'

As Leo expected, the moment he took out a fragment of the God Stone, he heard something moving beneath his legs.

[Legendary Nether Domain - Herculean Domain]

Without any hesitation, Leo activated the [Herculean Domain] to reduce the battle prowess of his opponents by 30 percent.

'Swoosh'

In the next second, the sand granules moved aside beneath Leo's feet, making a circular hole which was enough for Leo to fall in.

'Grr'

In the next second, a huge circular mouth filled with sharp teeth came out, hoping to swallow Leo and the fragment of the God Stone in a single gulp.

[Starlight Steps]

'Swoosh'

[Cultivation Experience Orb]

'Kacha'

[Weapon Card - Arcane Silver]

'Kacha'

On the other hand, Leo knew that once he fell into the centipede's mouth, it was game over for him. Hence, he used his [Staright Steps] to dodge the sharp teeth and crushed the orb and the weapon card at the same time.

'Ding,

The master's cultivation has increased by one level and reached level 8 legend grade.

'Ding,

The master has unsealed his sword Arcane Silver for the next ten minutes.

Leo's [Nether Rage Booster] was at zero percent and even if it was full, Leo would have not used it without knowing exactly the strength and the numbers of the devil centipedes that were hiding in the sand beneath his feet.

Nevertheless, he used the Cultivation Experience Orb that he was planning to merge with another Cultivation Experience Orb later.

However, when he thought about how he would be getting no rewards or rest, he decided to use it right away to increase his strength.

'Ding,

Beast Name: Devil Desert Centipede (Ascending).

Strength: Peak Legend Grade.

'Only peak legend grade? Then, I can kill it.'

Once Leo learned about the strength of the centipede, he became confident and jumped in the air.

'Let's hope I can finish it in a single strike.'

[Arcane Silver - Weapon Eye]

Leo tightened the grip around his sword's hilt and activated one of the weapon's skills.

'There is its weakness.'

Leo's eyes shone with a golden light as he jumped into the centipede's widely opened mouth.
