Inside the main prison, the beast corpse leader was decomposed into dark red debris. All the summoned beast corpses died in the deep dream, leaving only powder on the ground.

[Summoned Beasts: Bloodline Overlord LV.13 [Legendary★], Nightmare Lord LV.13 [Epic★], Undead Golem LV.13 [Epic★]]
[Talent - Currently obtainable: One Dark Bloodline]
Raised to level 11 in the wilderness, then to level 12 after defeating the first wave of aliens in the Boneyard Dungeon. Now, having cleared an entire floor of the dungeon, I've reached level 13.
The Abyss, truly, offers high risk and high reward.
"Rest here for a bit,"
Gu Chen said, turning to Lin Yuan and the others, but didn't go any deeper.
Further ahead was the second floor. The difficulty of the Bone Dungeon increased dramatically with each level.
After all, this was now a Nightmare-level abyss, so Gu Chen planned to strengthen his summons first.
Activate his talent.
[You have obtained: Dark Bloodline·Royal Bloodline]
Royal Bloodline!
Gu Chen's eyes lit up with ecstasy. It had finally appeared!
His previous two upgrades had both given him Descendant Bloodlines, so he hadn't fused them with his summons. Now, with the Royal Bloodline, it meant he would once again gain a Legendary summon.
After careful consideration, Gu Chen decided to upgrade the Corpse Golem to Legendary.
The reason was simple: the overall weakening was simply too good to be true.
If upgraded to Legendary, it was unimaginable what a powerful suppressive effect the Corpse Golem would have on the enemy.
As for the two Descendant Bloodlines, granting them to the Nightmare Overlord would also allow them to gain two bloodline awakenings.
[Bloodline Awakening Successfully]
[Bloodline Awakening Successfully]
[Nightmare Lord [Legend★]]
[Level: LV.13]
[HP: 21300]
[Attributes: Strength 179, Agility 186, Constitution 185, Spirit 190]
[Talent: Indescribable [Epic], Dream Come True [Epic]]
[Skill I: Disillusionment Instant Kill [Epic]]
[Skill II: Nightmare Haunting [Epic]]
[Skill III: Deep Dream [Epic]]
[Skill [Disillusionment Instant Kill] is enhanced]
[Disillusionment Instant Kill: Use dreams to approach the target unit and launch a surprise attack. Each time a target is killed, the next skill's damage increases by 1%]
[Note: If the summoned beast dies, the damage bonus is reset]
[Skill [Deep Dream] is enhanced]
[Deep Dream: Constructs a deep dream in an area, causing high continuous damage to targets trapped in it. For each target killed, all targets in the deep dream will be stunned for 1 second]
While 210,000 HP isn't as high as some elites or bosses, it's still incredibly rare.
Because elites and bosses have HP bonuses, few can rival it in this regard.
After awakening, in addition to increased HP and four-dimensional attributes, the skills [Illusionary Instant Kill] and [Deep Dream] are also buffed.
Killing a target with [Illusionary Instant Kill] increases the damage of the next skill by 1%, and the damage bonus continues to stack as long as the target survives.
"It's a shame! If [Deep Dream] were buffed, increasing skill damage by 1% per kill, the Nightmare Lord would receive a horrific boost."
After all, [Deep Dream] is an area-of-effect damage skill, capable of killing a large group in a short period of time, unlike [Illusionary Instant Kill], which targets targets individually.
In comparison, [Deep Dream]'s buff is smaller: each target killed in the dream stuns all other targets for one second.
While only for one second, if used wisely, it can absolutely render all units trapped in the dream defenseless.
Not bad, at least it can largely prevent powerful alien races from breaking through the dream.
Next, Gu Chen bestowed the royal bloodline on the corpse golem.
[Advancement Successful]
[Death Golem [Epic★] → Death Golem [Legend★]]
[Level: LV.13]
[HP: 26700]
[Attributes: Strength 231, Agility 226, Constitution 243, Spirit 244]
[Summoned beast's qualifications upgraded from Excellent to Epic, gaining attribute feedback, summoner's all attributes +10]
[Summoned beast gains comprehensive talent and skill enhancements]
[Unstoppable [Legend]: When the Death Golem is stationary, its defense increases by 1% per second, and its recovery increases by 1% per second. Targets within 5 meters of the Death Golem have their negative effects increased by 100%]
[Exhausted LV.20 [Legend]: Applies exhaustion to nearby targets, reducing all their attributes by 50% and increasing damage taken by 100%. Non-immune]
[Black Plague LV.20 [Legend]: Infects a target with plague, reducing the effectiveness of healing received by the target by 90%. The plague is contagious. The more targets infected, the greater the continuous HP loss. Non-immune]
[Forbidden Zone of the End of the Law LV.20 [Legendary]: The Skeleton Golem creates a forbidden zone centered on itself, inflicting Confusion upon targets within it and increasing all costs tenfold.]
A legendary talent, and all maxed-out legendary skills!
Gu Chen's excitement was palpable.
First, the talent upgrade: while the Skeleton Golem is stationary, its defense and regeneration increase by 1% per second. This means sacrificing its mobility to maximize its power.
However, the Skeleton Golem can't stop following the group, nor can it attract all aliens to its location.
Previously, Gu Chen wouldn't have been able to fully utilize this talent.
But remember, after defeating Wang Chongshan and his group, Gu Chen learned the ability to swap positions from the primary skill scroll.
This allows him to swap positions with summoned units, as well as with each other.
This way, the Undead Golem can stay in a certain location, maintaining its stacking state. When entering combat, simply swap positions with the Vampire Scion in combat.
Furthermore, targets within 5 meters of the Undead Golem will receive a 100% increase in negative effects, further enhancing the advantages of Swap.
Swap is only an Excellent skill, but when paired with a Legendary summon, its power is formidable.
The other three skills have each received varying degrees of improvement.
[Exhaustion]'s damage has been increased by 50%.
[Black Plague] has become contagious, eliminating the need for Undead Golems to cast it individually. The more targets it infects, the greater its damage over time.
[Forbidden Zone of the End of the Law] hasn't changed much, but it adds a Chaos status to targets within the zone. With a 10x damage reduction, targets within the zone are essentially left with only basic attacks.
"Done."
Looking at the three summons beside him, Gu Chen felt elated.
"Alright, let's continue to the second floor of the dungeon. To get the record-breaking reward, we need to speed up our progress."
Gu Chen said, ordering the blood clan descendants to clear the way. Lin Yuan and the others nodded and quickly followed.
Nightmare-level abyss, to break the record, we can only speed through it.
