[Tip: There is only half an hour left before night falls. The difficulty will increase after night falls, so please be prepared! ]

[Tip: After night falls, players whose level Lv9 experience reaches the breakthrough conditions can choose to be teleported to [Trial Land] to accept the breakthrough trial. Those who pass the trial can break through to Lv10! ]

[Note: There are only 50 places for this breakthrough. Players who fail to break through in the Trial Land need to wait 24 hours before re-entering the [Trial Land]. The first ten players to break through will receive a breakthrough gift pack based on their ranking. Please prepare well! ]

Just when Li Fan was taking a break, a series of messages appeared on the chat channel.

"Place of trial?"

Li Fan looked at the news on the public screen and couldn't help but feel excited.

"It seems like it's time to break through to Lv10!"

Li Fan waited for a long time to break through, but he did not relax.

Based on the information provided in this hint, it seems that you must compete with other players for these 50 places in the Breakthrough Trial.

And the top ten will receive big gift packages, which is a must for Li Fan.

The last time the system sent out a big gift package was the Dawn gift package, when Li Fan got the key to the Fallen Angel's Mansion and...

"Chaos Altar!"

A hint of excitement flashed in Li Fan's eyes.

The last time he sacrificed, he summoned a baby dragon.

Since then, he has obtained many special items from other players, and now he has another chance to sacrifice himself!

"Then let's see who will be summoned this time!"

Li Fan drank all the wine on the table in one breath, and the hot feeling of the liquor rushed from his throat all the way to his whole body.

The lights in the pub were dim, and some players were talking and laughing loudly, while others were drinking with their heads down.

The air is filled with the aroma of winemaking and sweat.

Li Fan didn't stay any longer. He stood up and walked towards the door, and his figure gradually disappeared.

He walked out of the tavern and onto the street of the supply depot.

He crossed the street, walked out of the supply station, and entered an open area.

The surrounding buildings looked dilapidated and desolate.

Li Fan didn't stay for long, but walked directly to a corner where no one noticed him, stopped, and checked his surroundings.

He slowly took out the [Pearl of the Hidden Realm] from his backpack.

[Equipment: Hidden Realm Pearl! ]

【Quality: C-! 】

【Attribute: None! 】

[Note: This equipment can only be used when out of combat. After use, it can create an invisible area within a radius of 30 meters, making all creatures and objects entering the area invisible, and can cover up any sound. (Last 3 minutes) (Cooling down 60 minutes)! ]

The beads have a deep luster all over.

Li Fan squeezed it gently, and the bead suddenly floated in the air, emitting a soft light.

As he whispered the spell, the light of the Hidden Realm Pearl fluctuated.

Then a layer of transparent gauze like gauze descended, covering everything around.

At that moment, the whole world seemed to have changed.

The scene around Li Fan disappeared in an instant. The streets, open spaces, and buildings in the distance all disappeared under the seemingly ordinary gauze.

At this moment, this space seems to be completely isolated from the outside world, and no one can detect its existence.

Everything around, including Li Fan's figure, was perfectly hidden.

He stood in the hidden space and looked around with satisfaction.

Without further hesitation, he took out another item from his backpack - [Chaos Altar].

It was an ancient cauldron, with countless obscure runes all over its surface, emitting a frightening aura. Li Fan gently placed it on the ground and immediately activated the power in his body.

The cauldron suddenly vibrated violently, the runes on its surface flickered, and then the volume of the cauldron began to expand rapidly.

After a dull sound, the altar was finally completed, three meters high.

The black and red cauldron exudes an extremely powerful aura, and the air around it seems to become stagnant because of its appearance.

Li Fan looked up at the huge altar, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

There was an ancient and oppressive atmosphere in the air.

Whenever the wind blows, the runes around the altar flicker slightly, as if some invisible power is flowing through them.

He slowly took out a dozen special props of various shapes from his backpack.

These props are either simple or exquisite, and each one exudes a different atmosphere.

Among them are sharp magic iron hammers and dazzling crystals.

There are also some strange-looking talismans, medicine bottles, and even some metal fragments that are shining with strange light.

These props may seem disorganized, but they are all S-level special props.

Their effects are all useless to Li Fan, so they are best used for sacrifice.

A gleam of determination flashed in Li Fan's eyes. He gently placed the props on the ground and then selected three of them.

A blood-red talisman wrapped in ancient runes and a dark blue crystal bead.

And a silver feather with a faint luster.

He took a deep breath and casually threw the three special props into the Chaos Altar.

As the props fell, there was a sudden violent vibration in the altar.

Runes began to flicker on the surface of the cauldron, and the entire altar structure seemed to come alive.

Li Fan steadied himself and stared at the altar.

In an instant, the three props quickly turned into powder in the cauldron and disappeared without a trace.

Then, three blood-red shadows rose from the furnace and hovered above the altar like ghosts.

They seem ethereal, yet filled with an endless sense of oppression, as if they have life, constantly twisting and wriggling.

Li Fan could clearly feel that these three rays of light seemed to be the manifestation of some kind of soul.

As the runes in the altar flashed again.

The three blood-red shadows were like attracted insects, being swallowed by the rune without any resistance.

Their figures gradually blurred in the runes and finally disappeared completely.

The vibration of the cauldron began to weaken, and the light gradually dimmed until everything returned to calm.

However, Li Fan did not see any of the results he expected.

The noise at the altar began to gradually subside, and the oppressive feeling in the air slowly disappeared.

But he didn't feel any new strength emerging.

There was no longer the previous light on the surface of the cauldron, as if everything had returned to its original state.

Li Fan frowned and his heart sank.

The sacrifice failed.

He had anticipated this, after all, the success rate of sacrifice was only 50%.

But he was still unwilling to give up. A cold look flashed in his eyes, and he quickly took out three other special props.

This time, he chose an ancient dagger inlaid with black gems and a silver moonstone that exuded a cold aura.

and a red puppet with silver strings wrapped around it.

Li Fan threw them into the altar again without any hesitation.

As these three props were put into use, the altar began to shake violently again.

The runes began to rotate rapidly, and the interior of the cauldron seemed to be completely ignited by some force.

A hint of anticipation flashed in Li Fan's eyes, and he quietly observed everything in front of him.

However, the results are still unsatisfactory.

The three props were turned into dust again, and three blood-red soul lights and shadows floated out like ghosts, spinning and being absorbed by the runes again. The reaction was exactly the same as the first time, and in the end the altar still did not bring any changes he expected.

Li Fan felt a deep disappointment, but he did not give up.

Until the twelfth special item is placed in succession.

The speed of rotation became extremely rapid, and an unprecedented energy wave burst out from the cauldron.

Li Fan's heart suddenly trembled. This time, he finally saw something unusual.
