I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

Lin Yuan swaggered towards the center of the basin, the sound of his boots hitting the ground sounding quite abrupt in the quiet basin.

Lin Yuan's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the Fallen Ones on the altar. The two Fallen Ones who were chanting incantations stopped what they were doing and looked at Lin Yuan.

They watched the uninvited guest warily, ready to attack at any moment. Mo Xiu, the leader standing at the top of the altar, also stopped the sacrificial ceremony he was performing.

Mo Xiu turned his head and looked down at Lin Yuan. When he saw Lin Yuan's face and aura, he was taken aback.

He initially thought it was a military expert who had discovered the hidden stronghold, or some powerful monster that had broken in, but he was surprised to find that it was just a young man who came out.

Mo Xiu narrowed his eyes and carefully sensed the energy fluctuations and level on Lin Yuan's body.

Level 41.

This intruder who suddenly appeared turned out to be just a level 41 brat.

After the initial shock, Mo Xiu's face revealed a disdainful expression, followed by a cruel, maniacal laugh that echoed through the basin, filled with contempt for Lin Yuan.

"I thought it was some legion commander, but it turns out to be just a reckless young punk," Mo Xiu said.

"Kid, now that you've witnessed this secret scene and uncovered our cult's plan..."

"Then you can only die. Use your blood as a sacrifice to summon the Demon General," Mo Xiu said coldly.

After saying that, Mo Xiu waved his hand without hesitation and gave the attack command.

He commanded the abyssal beasts guarding the altar to attack Lin Yuan.

Upon receiving the command, the berserk monsters immediately let out deafening roars.

They strode forward and charged madly toward Lin Yuan's location. Facing the oncoming demons, Lin Yuan stood still, his face calm and without the slightest panic.

The monster running at the front brandished its sharp claws and slammed them heavily into Lin Yuan's body.

The moment the monster's claws touched the Devouring Dragon Armor set, terrifying counter-damage energy descended once more.

The attacks of dozens of demons struck Lin Yuan, but his blood streaks remained unmoved, while the demons attacking him around him emitted muffled sounds one after another.

The high amount of true damage reflected back at them, causing them to explode and die in large numbers before long.

The monster's remains and blood were scattered all over the ground, and it instantly lost all signs of life. On Lin Yuan's job panel, system notification sounds began to flood the screen.

[Attacked, defense points +6]

[Attacked, defense points +6]

[Attacked, defense points +6]

These beeping sounds, densely packed together, recorded every single attack by the monster.

Lin Yuan stepped over the corpses and blood on the ground and continued walking step by step toward the altar.

[Defeated abyssal monsters, gained a total of 20 experience points.]

等级：41（70万\/95万）->等级：41（90万\/95万）

At the same time, the attacks from these dozens of demons also provided Lin Yuan with many defensive positions.

Lin Yuan glanced at the panel and saw that he had gained a total of 1800 defense points this time.

Mo Xiu, standing on the altar, was stunned by what he saw below. He watched as most of the demonic guards he had set up were killed or wounded within minutes.

Those demons died mysteriously without even breaking through Lin Yuan's defenses. Mo Xiu was completely bewildered. What kind of attack method was this?

At this moment, he was in the most critical period of the sacrificial ceremony and was unable to move his body to attack Lin Yuan.

If he doesn't complete the ritual quickly, not only will all his previous efforts be wasted, but he will also suffer the backlash from the formation.

So, Mo Xiu bit his tongue, sacrificing his life force, and sprayed his blood essence onto the crystal core, forcibly accelerating the summoning ritual.

The space above the altar began to distort violently, and with the sound of space shattering, a huge black crack appeared in mid-air.

A monster over ten meters tall, engulfed in black flames, crossed the void.

This is a level 72 Abyss Flame Demon General.

As soon as the Flame Demon General appeared, he immediately emitted a terrifyingly high temperature that inspired despair. This high temperature quickly spread, making the surrounding air scorching and painful.

Lei Xiao and the others in the distance immediately felt the heat wave, and they were all finding it hard to bear.

Although they had high armor and magic resistance provided by Lin Yuan, the defense values ​​were used to offset direct physical and magical attacks.

Defense is defense, and resistance is resistance.

They themselves do not have high enough fire resistance to withstand the high environmental temperatures brought by the Abyss Flame Demon Lord.

This high temperature constitutes continuous environmental damage, directly affecting their bodies.

The Dragon Fang Squad members' health was dropping drop by drop, so Su Qing quickly cast a group healing spell on them.

As for Lin Yuan, who was standing at the very front, he felt no heat at all.

As for Lin Yuan, who was standing at the very front, he felt no heat at all.

He has a golden attribute called "Invulnerable to All Laws," which grants immunity to all negative status effects, including the high-temperature burning and heat debuffs brought by the Flame Demon General.

The heat wave blew on Lin Yuan, but had no effect whatsoever.

The Flame Demon Lord stretched its massive magma body, lowered its head, and looked at Lin Yuan with its burning flame eyes.

"So it was you, this lowly human ant, who slaughtered all my sacrifices?" The Flame Demon General roared.

Mo Xiu weakly called out from behind, "Demon General, please kill him immediately! He's acting strangely!"

Lin Yuan raised his head and looked directly at the Abyss General.

"You talk too much nonsense. It's just a large lighter, and you dare to put on airs in front of me?" Lin Yuan's tone was calm, but it was full of sarcasm.

Upon hearing this mockery, the Flame Demon Lord flew into a rage: "You ignorant ant, how dare you challenge the majesty of the Abyss! I will burn you to ashes!"

Its powerful aura instantly locked onto Lin Yuan, and the surrounding rocks began to melt under the high temperature.

Lin Yuan smiled coldly and replied without backing down, "If you have the guts, come and try. Let's see who turns whom to ashes today."

Enraged to the extreme, the Flame Demon Lord unleashed a devastating attack, [Hellfire Meteor], directly at Lin Yuan.

A massive, burning meteorite materialized in the sky, trailing a long, fiery tail, and crashed down upon Lin Yuan.

Faced with such a powerful attack, Lin Yuan did not completely ignore it. He raised the Myriad Devouring Dragon Heavy Shield in his hand to block, and at the same time activated the defensive skill [Titan's Wall].

This skill can increase your total defense by 300% for a short period of time.

Lin Yuan's armor, which was originally over 800,000, instantly soared to a terrifying value of over 3 million.
