The Monkey King walked into his cave, he felt something change earlier, all creature felt that when Lord Dungeon changed something, but this time it felt closer almost like it on the mountain, when the Monkey King entered his abode, he saw three things, first were four chests, the same as the ones in the grove of Divine Fruit, there was also a dead furry creature, his Cultivation did require the consumption powerful spirit beasts, which were nonexistent on the mountain, and finally he saw the most important part of Lord Dungeon’s blessing, it was an enormous flame, bright red in color, it was twice as large as him and most importantly was an important part of his Cultivation, the Seven Layer Immortality technique required a spirit flame of sufficient power to cultivate, it was a requirement to begin cultivating the technique, first he opened the four chest and was shocked at what was inside.
They all had a single Heaven Grade Technique inside, they were the Millenium Shell of the Black Tortoise, the Heavenly Wings of the Vermilion Bird, the Ivory Fang of the White Tiger, and the Divine Breath of the Azure Dragon. He immediately grabbed them and hid them in an alcove that he had created when he had tested the Nine Shadows technique with his Guandao, then he began to consume the raw flesh of the animal carcass. As he bit into it he focused on the Blood Essence inside the corpse, as the manual for Stoneborn Giant Elephant Tempering technique, as the manual said, he focused on it, and began to channel the Blood Essence in his “Meridians” which were a series of twelve channel location around is body, although before he began to channel the Essence into his Meridians, he removed his armor which was recommended by the manual before you began channeling Blood Essence into your Meridians. Then he began to channel the Essence into his body.

Oh my Schema what’s on going now, though the Dungeon as a Screen with very unwelcome news appeared in front of it, [WARNING: A Spatial Tear to Plane of Water had been opened by a Leviathan on your Third Floor, Please select options do deal with the rift:
One: Destroy, this will permanently close the Rip
Two: Harmonize, this will allow for the being that come through the Rip to harmonize with the Core, allowing for cooperation with creatures, but they will not follow Dungeon Rules
This Option has been allowed due to you exceptional performance:
Assimilate: this will turn all being that come through the Rip to be converted in a dungeon monster that act as a normal dungeon monster, you gain access to their Schema, however if a monster is too strong the creature not be converted, creatures on the other side will have an urge to go through the Rip]
The Dungeon assessed the situation, Close looked great but he had a feeling that the leviathans would open another rift again, the Harmonize option was clearly the worst, the Dungeon knew that out of the three Assimilate was the best, so that was the option the Dungeon would pick. [Assimilate now active], immediately the Core gained three new Schemas, [Aqula Duhr, Boiling Brine Ooze, Crystallic Starfish]
The Aqula Duhr, which was the water equivalent of the Galeb Duhr was the most useful, the Dungeon created hundreds of them to haunt to ocean, the Boiling Brine Ooze was a boiling aquatic version of the Oozes that populated the Second and Third, it created a few thousand since the Dungeon somehow knew that something would try to kill them soon, finally the Crystallic Starfish, it was at best a minor pest, at worst it would be a major pest. They had crystal spikes covering them, allowing for minor damage, however they were functionally immortal since if you tried to kill them with normal weaponry they would split into five shards which would reform to become a perfect copy of the original starfish. The dungeon created three hundred of them. The Rip would be a good source of Schemas. Actually on the topic of schemas, it hadn’t checked up on the First in a while.
A few minutes later, the Dungeon watched as the Twins were effortlessly slain by a group of invaders, thankfully Barukan drove them off a few minutes later. It was glad that it had added a rule which replenished all monsters up to their specified limits after the invaders left since hundreds of monsters lay dead on the savannah. They hadn’t found Fenris yet but it was pretty certain that she needed an upgrade to. He gave the Twins, Starbreaker and Fenris the Stealth, Natural Armor, Bestial Wrath, Keen Senses, Harmonic Echo Blade, which was converted to Harmonic Echo Claw, Tactical Mind, Whirlwind, Crush, Final Frenzy, Counter, Healing Factor, Penetrative Strike, Deflect, Halting Blow, Heavy Blow, Parry, Adrenaline Rush, Unholy Strength, Charge, Strength before Death, Taunt, and Counterspell Schemas, although for Starbreaker Counterpell was useless. Hopefully the new buffs would actually give the Invaders some difficulty in their attempts. The dungeon decided to add Minor Wind Serpents and Minor Earth Serpents to First. Now the invaders would learn their lesson.You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

When Tym sliced the Twins in half as part of daily routine to eventually fight Barukan, the Twin that he was slicing, Pluto as the System called it, three things happened, one, it blocked with its claws, two, it used the Deflect and Parry skills, three, he didn’t realize that it was High-Adamantine threat now. He was pushed back thirteen feet, the wizard cast [Disintegrate] but Pluto cast [Counterspell] and managed to block the spell, Pluto’s brother Hades appeared, the warrior used Dash to block the attack but the beast used what appeared to be Crush, Penetrative Strike, Halting Blow, Heavy Blow, Adrenaline Rush, and Charge to halt the slice through the man’s sword, arms, chestplate and Natural Armor, the hit cut deep into his flesh, thankfully Tym knew that he man had the [Greater Regeneration] passive which he knew would counter the deadly poison. Even though the man was dazed from Halting Blow, he still had enough sense in him to activate the teleport crystals, the others quickly followed.

The Guandao struck the scale of Elder Tempest, the Nine Shadows Technique, backed by the Earth Rank Five Winds Technique and the Monkey King’s enhanced physical form failed to scratch his scales. “Little one you still have a long way to go until you can successfully scratch my scale.” The Guardian was amused by his charge’s behavior, “You probably found that technique in the chest in your village, correct?” “Correct Great Elder.” Said the King “Well then you should practice it under my raging winds, that technique looks like a Wind Qi technique, one that is meant to support your other techniques while still having considerable power, it''s strong enough that it will last you for quite a few realms.” The Monkey still hadn’t tried to use the Heaven Grade Techniques it had access to manuals for but it was too volatile for someone who had only three layers of Body cultivation and no Qi cultivation to speak of. He did need to grow stronger.

The Dungeon hadn’t realized how powerful the Leviathans were in his quest to fill the seas, he found that ten leviathans was the optimal amount for the sea and that they actually held the eggs and seeds of different seas creature once spawned in, so his ocean was somehow filled with foreign life that he hasn''t introduced when had created the place, the Spatial Rip had added so much diversity to his oceans, out the hundreds of sea creature schemas that he had access to, two had caught its attention, [Schema Gained, Trident, Harpoon, Sunken Ship, Ghost Ship, Triton, Mermaid]
The Tritons and Mermaids the Core had created had made a village in a small outcropping hidden from view, it was perfect for more intelligent sea defenders, the Sunken Ship was just decor that the Dungeon could fill with loot, it didn’t, but the Ghost Ship would haunt the seas launching harpoons and cannonballs at any interlopers, it created ten of them and populated them with Fierce Ghosts. It looked through its oceans. Hundreds of schools of thousands of different species of fish swam through the seas, the occasional predator, like a shark or squid consumed the bountiful food, the Leviathans were forces of nature that would consume to their heart''s content, the Ghost Ships would wander the seas, fighting anything that they came across and the Tritons and Mermaid would supplement its defense in the seas. Most importantly it was untouched by the war on the island, I hope they find out what’s going on inside of there.

The Oracle’s rules of Dungeon Survival: Never make the Dungeon angry, never make a fight look easy, otherwise the Core will react… harshly, always sustain a minor wound or three, so the Core think you still have a Challenge. Never attempt to take a monster alive for the same reasons. Alway maintain death reports. Never bring along an undocumented member. Always protect the innocent from a Dungeon.
