Outside the Infinite Valley, Chen Tian and Kong Ling stood together. Chen Tian was waiting for Bing Tianning's arrival. This particular map was quite special, and Kong Ling couldn't handle it alone. Chen Tian waited patiently. Soon, Bing Tianning descended from the sky, landing on the ground. Chen Tian looked at Bing Tianning and said, "Alright, let's go in. This time we're here to farm levels. This map is special. I plan to grind here until level seventy or eighty. There are quite a few bosses inside, but their levels are a bit high, around level ninety. Kong Ling, you can level up too. Let's go!"
With that, Chen Tian stepped into the valley. The Infinite Valley, as its name suggested, was a peculiar map. The monsters here were infinite in number, and the lowest level was ninety. If it weren't for Bing Tianning, Chen Tian wouldn't have dared to come here!
Bing Tianning was currently at the White Blaze level, far surpassing anyone else. Chen Tian, on the other hand, was only around level sixty. Despite Bing Tianning grinding monsters diligently these past few days, Chen Tian hadn't gained much experience due to the significant level gap.
However, Chen Tian still intended to grind in the Infinite Valley until he reached level seventy or eighty before leaving. That would also speed up his fusion progress, allowing him to obtain the Azure Water Spirit Heart Grass and the fragment of the Creation God more quickly in the Celestial Realm. Chen Tian's strength was still too weak right now!
Inside the Infinite Valley, Chen Tian, Kong Ling, and Bing Tianning walked through the mountainous terrain. The valley walls on both sides were sheer cliffs, but the interior was a vast plain, devoid of any trees or vegetation. This was the true appearance of the Infinite Valley's interior.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake. Chen Tian said, "They're here, get ready!"
Chen Tian hid behind Bing Tianning and Kong Ling. The rumbling sound echoed throughout the Infinite Valley as a dense horde of wild bulls charged towards them. Chen Tian remarked, "First wave, incoming."
The monsters in the Infinite Valley were designed to be infinite. The type and number of monsters appearing each time varied, and there were always many. Bing Tianning activated her scanning eyes and said, "At least ten thousand. Chen Tian, stay behind us."
"Got it!"
Bing Tianning didn't need to say anything; Chen Tian knew his current strength was comparable to an ordinary person's, which was why he wouldn't venture forward. Bing Tianning and Kong Ling's expressions grew serious. To be honest, while Bing Tianning had a level advantage, the sheer number of opponents was overwhelming. Over ten thousand of them were charging at once, forcing even Bing Tianning to be cautious.
Chen Tian opened his status panel, examining the information of the monsters, trying to ascertain their characteristics and abilities to prevent Bing Tianning from being at a disadvantage.
Chen Tian opened his interface. Simultaneously, Kong Ling and Bing Tianning charged forward, initiating their attack.

While Chen Tian was reviewing the stats, the battle had already begun. Numerous cannons and missiles erupted from Bing Tianning's body, firing directly at the bull herd. The ground exploded, and the sounds of detonation filled the air. Kong Ling's eyes opened, and the surrounding space warped, creating an explosion that engulfed everything.
Bing Tianning's body regenerated, and countless lasers shot from her back, targeting the bull herd. Bing Tianning didn't want to give them any breathing room. Given their numbers, continuous, area-of-effect attacks were necessary.
Countless lasers shot out, shattering the ground, sending some Ironclad Raging Bulls flying into the air. At that moment, Kong Ling appeared in mid-air, and a spatial vortex opened, instantly engulfing them and transforming into starlight.
After Bing Tianning finished firing her lasers, the cannon on her chest had fully charged. A massive wave beam erupted, blasting directly into the Ironclad Raging Bull herd, its light column engulfing them entirely.
As the beam dissipated, the ground shook once more, and the Ironclad Raging Bull herd continued to charge towards Chen Tian and his companions.
Bing Tianning exclaimed, "How is this possible? They took a full barrage from me, and not a single bit of their health is gone?"
Chen Tian spoke up, "Bing Tianning, be careful! When they are on the ground, their armor and defense are infinitely amplified. You need to get them off the ground!"
Bing Tianning heard Chen Tian's words and wondered about this ability. Were they invincible as long as they stood on the ground? And there were so many of them?
"The sky?"
Bing Tianning looked up at the sky. Kong Ling then said, "Help me hold them off for a few minutes, please!"
Kong Ling didn't hesitate, knowing Chen Tian had a plan. He then moved to face the Ironclad Raging Bull herd. Slowly, he spread his hands, and the surrounding space warped, forming a barrier in front of Kong Ling.
Behind the barrier, Bing Tianning's wings unfurled, and her eyes began to calculate, as if she were researching something.
Chen Tian understood Bing Tianning's intention and remained silent, waiting for the experience points.
The Ironclad Raging Bulls gradually closed in on Kong Ling, ramming into the spatial barrier. If it weren't for the unique nature of spatial abilities, the barrier would have long since shattered.
Kong Ling grunted, "Is it ready yet?" He was clearly struggling to hold on, his teeth clenched. It was proving difficult to resist. Their strength and numbers were too great; he wouldn't be able to hold out much longer.
Bing Tianning's wings suddenly exploded into countless fragments, which then reassembled into rhomboid pieces. Bing Tianning's eyes snapped open. Countless rhomboid fragments flew towards the Ironclad Raging Bull herd, instantly transforming into light. The rhomboid fragments began to spin, emitting beams of light that connected to each other, forming a massive platform. Bing Tianning then announced, "Alright, we can leave now!"
"Good!"
Kong Ling decisively withdrew his barrier and retreated. Bing Tianning's eyes shone with mechanical light. A series of light rings appeared on the massive platform and shot upwards into the sky. As the light rings ascended, the bodies of the Ironclad Raging Bulls were pulled up along with them. Seeing this, Bing Tianning immediately spread her wings, expelling airflow and soaring into the sky.
Her mechanical body unleashed missiles and lasers, while the cannon on her chest charged up. After finishing her missile and laser attacks, she fired a wave beam that engulfed the entire bull herd.
A voice echoed in Chen Tian's mind – the sound of experience points. Instantly, Chen Tian's level increased to sixty-nine. However, reaching the next level would require three hundred billion experience points.
Chen Tian was speechless. Grinding a level was so difficult! This mode was great, but leveling up was too slow. It was exhausting!
Bing Tianning slowly landed, and the rhomboid fragments returned to her back. Chen Tian commented, "Not bad. You even developed an anti-gravity device. It seems conscious machines have greater growth potential than unconscious ones. Keep up the good work!"
Chen Tian praised her. Bing Tianning replied, "Thank you, Master. If it weren't for you, I would still be a machine with a locked consciousness."
"Don't mention it. You can now research the best combinations for your body and devices. The anti-gravity platform you created earlier was excellent; I hadn't thought of that."
Chen Tian spoke, truly impressed that Bing Tianning could invent an anti-gravity device and platform, directly causing the Ironclad Raging Bulls to levitate. Chen Tian had expected Bing Tianning to use special techniques to knock them away one by one, but it seemed conscious machines were far superior to their unconscious counterparts.
With the surge of experience from this wave, Chen Tian's level rose to sixty-nine. He felt his fusion progress had accelerated slightly. Suddenly, the ground rumbled again. Chen Tian said, "Don't relax, the second wave is coming."
This was the nature of the Infinite Valley. As long as players remained here, endless waves of monsters would charge at them, one after another, with no end. This was the meaning of the Infinite Valley, and the reason Chen Tian chose it. Infinite meant infinite numbers, allowing him to grind levels endlessly!
The feeling of constantly leveling up was exhilarating!
Before Chen Tian appeared a new type of monster. Their claws resembled wolf claws, but they possessed three tails, each tipped with a snake's head, as if all three tails were alive. Their heads were those of lions, with tusks like elongated, curved, and extremely sharp elephant tusks. Their bodies were tens of times larger than the Ironclad Raging Bulls, standing seventy to eighty meters tall, and their numbers were even greater than the bulls.
Chen Tian exclaimed, "What is this thing, a chimera? I've never seen a monster like this!"
Even a chimera wouldn't have such an appearance. What kind of monster was this, with parts of different animals stitched together? He found it unbelievable that such a creature existed.
Chen Tian then opened his interface, and information displayed. Chen Tian looked on.
Meanwhile, Bing Tianning and Kong Ling charged into the beast horde.
