Online Game: Start as a Godslayer, Get Stronger by Killing Monsters

The layout of the second level is similar to that of the first level.

There is no monster leader guarding it.

In the very center is a stone gate, and on the right wall is a stone tablet with two characters inscribed on it: "Li De" (立德).

Looking to the left, there are two incense burners, and below them are two fire tumblers.

Lin Ye hadn't figured it out yet, but the bald martial monk who had cultivated for many years already understood.

He bent down, picked up the two tinderboxes, opened the incense burner to take a look, and then handed one of them to Lin Ye, explaining, "Benefactor, this incense is the 'Inquiry of the Heart' incense that I taught you. The gas produced after it is lit will cause hallucinations and desires in the person who absorbs it. If you can resist the desires, you will pass the test. I suppose this test of establishing virtue is just like that."

Lin Ye nodded, then understood: So it was the Illusionary Realm.

The two lit the incense burner one after the other, and the incense smoke flowed into their nasal cavities.

Lin Ye's vision blurred, then began to distort.

This feeling was incredibly strange, like watching someone on TV watching TV.

Then, the scene before him began to become clear, and as familiar images appeared, Lin Ye quickly became depressed.

The illusion before my eyes is none other than the Eighteenfold Abyss of Demons.

In his previous life, humanity lived in a remote corner of the world, while he guarded the front line alone.

But the scene before him was not Lin Ye fighting alone, nor Lin Ye being engulfed by a raging sea of ​​fire, but Luo Qingge.

The way she disappeared before my eyes.

That feeling of utter despair and helplessness caused the violence in my heart to begin to fester once more.

but.

"Oh!"

Lin Ye sneered, drew his beginner's wooden sword from his waist, and whispered to Luo Qingge, "Sword Shatters the Universe!"

Sword energy flew out, shattering the illusion.

The scene before us has returned to the temple.

Lin Ye turned to look at the bald-headed monk.

Almost simultaneously, as soon as he turned his head to look, the bald monk shuddered and then came to his senses.

The two men locked eyes, and the bald monk, quite surprised, exclaimed in praise, "I didn't expect you to have such a steadfast mind."

Lin Ye nodded slightly.

Then there was a click.

The hidden compartment under the incense burner opened, revealing the key.

Pick up the key and open the stone door.

As soon as the two stepped onto the steps leading to the third level, before the scene of the third level was even revealed to them, everything went black and their bodies began to fall rapidly.

By the time they realized what was happening, the two were already separated into two separate spaces.

Ignoring the bald monk, Lin Ye quickly raised his wooden sword and held it horizontally in front of him.

In the darkness, a torch on the right wall was suddenly lit, illuminating two large characters: "Self-reflection".

Lin Ye looked at it and immediately felt much more relaxed.

"Then that's right, you didn't fall into the trap. That's the design of the third level."

Just as Lin Ye was about to step forward to explore, he realized that he had just lowered his sword, but the next moment...

All the torches on the walls were lit at the same time, returning to a bright atmosphere.

On the front, the stone gate that should have led to the fourth level had turned into a mirror, reflecting Lin Ye's figure.

And Lin Ye, the one in the mirror, actually walked out step by step.

Lin Ye quickly understood.

"So this so-called self-reflection is just a battle with your reflection in the mirror. But, can a tiny temple like yours really replicate a god-slayer...?"

Sure enough, the moment Lin Ye finished speaking, the face of the 'Lin Ye' in the mirror collapsed as he stepped out of the mirror. Then, his whole body suddenly twisted into a ball and began to wail on the spot, making some eerie sounds.

Lin Ye originally wanted to open the panel to take a look, but the other party's commotion and bizarre appearance were really unbearable.

He drew his sword, declaring, "My sword will shatter the universe!"

The monster was pierced by the sword energy, leaving only a wisp of ashes in its place.

[God-Slaying Mark +1]

The marks were stacked, but there were no experience points or kill notifications, and the talent of plundering everything did not take effect.

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow, clicking his tongue in amazement: "This third level is quite interesting."

At the same time, he couldn't help but worry—would he still be considered to have passed the third test?

Fortunately, the moment this thought crossed my mind, I heard a crisp sound.

The enormous mirror that occupied the entire wall shattered with a crack, revealing the steps leading to the fourth level.

Lin Ye took a step and entered the fourth level.

This time there were no traps, just a step to ascend.

To Lin Ye's surprise, the bald monk had arrived at the fourth level first and was waiting for him.

"You're even faster than me...!"

Lin Ye was inevitably somewhat surprised.

He then nodded in acknowledgment, and the bald monk revealed his familiar smile, saying, "Benefactor, this is the final hurdle. Look ahead, there are many mechanical puppets."

As he spoke, he picked up the stick and struck the unactivated mechanical puppet.

Judging from his appearance, he had already exerted all his strength, but the mechanical man was completely unharmed.

This scene made Lin Ye frown and click on the panel to view it.

[Mechanical Doll]

Level: Lv3

Grade: Common

Health: 130

Power: 7

Agility: 8

Physical condition: 13

Spirit: 5

[Entry]

Physical immunity (special)

Immune to all physical damage, affected only by elemental, energy, and true damage. This attribute is a mechanical trait and cannot be looted.

"Immune to all physical damage?"

Lin Ye was slightly shocked again.

Fortunately, his "Sword Shatters the Universe" deals true damage.

but......

There wasn't just one mechanical puppet in front of them, but dozens of them, densely packed together.

If we wait for CDs, one by one, how long will it take?

"Benefactor, look over there."

The bald monk's words snapped Lin Ye out of his reverie, and Lin Ye looked to the side in response.

The surrounding walls were covered with countless red switches.

It was at this moment that the two realized how large the fourth level's arena was.

The bald monk stepped forward and triggered the mechanism.

The moment the mechanism was pressed, the mechanical puppet seemed to be turned on, immediately coming to life and approaching the two of them.

At the same time, the switches on the surrounding walls suddenly started flashing, one of which was right next to the two of them.

The bald monk pressed the flashing switch.

Suddenly, a flamethrower appeared from the ceiling, burning half of the mechanical dolls' blood.

"Oh! I understand! My friend, this level requires us to activate these flashing switches to summon the flamethrower while dodging attacks from the mechanical puppets!"

Realizing what was happening, the bald monk immediately began to act, but was stopped by Lin Ye.

Lin Ye stood still, gesturing to the bald monk, "Go away."

Although the bald monk was puzzled, seeing Lin Ye's terrifying strength earlier, he still followed Lin Ye's advice.

After confirming that the bald monk was indeed more than fifteen meters away, Lin Ye opened his control panel and activated his Scorching Aura (LV3).

Scorching Aura (LV3):

All enemies within a 15-meter radius suffer burning damage equal to [Constitution x 8%] per second, and are also inflicted with a "Burning Mark" that reduces the target's fire resistance by 3% per mark, up to a maximum of 10 marks.

Lin Ye looked at his own physique.

Current physical condition: 430+33

In other words, it can deal 37 damage per second, and can also stack "burn marks" to further increase damage.

Although the damage isn't that terrifying yet, these mechanical puppets are deliberately designed to move slowly. By the time they can touch Lin Ye, they'll have already been burned to death by the aura.

Sure enough, a notification popped up in front of Lin Ye shortly afterward.

[Players killed: Mad Dragon, Overlord Lv4]

[Players killed: Kuanglong, Jianjiu Lv3]

[Players killed: Mad Dragon, Lone Wolf Lv4]

"Um?"

Before Lin Ye could react, the blood-red panel had already appeared in front of him.

[Plunder All Things - Attribute Summary]

Strength: +21

Agility: +15

Constitution: +28

Spirit: +12

[Dropped Equipment]

Beginner Wooden Sword x3

1 tattered leather armor

It turns out that the group from the Mad Dragon Guild has already followed us and has now reached the third level, where they are about to meet Lin Ye in the fourth level.

However, the sound of the mechanical puppet activating was somewhat terrifying, causing the members of the Mad Dragon Guild to stop in their tracks.

After thinking for a moment, Kuanglong and Lieyang instructed their three underlings, "You guys are the lowest level, so sneak over there slowly and see what's going on."

"yes!"

These three unlucky players were none other than Kuanglong, Bajue, Kuanglong, Jianjiu, and Kuanglong, who had just been killed by Lin Ye.

They had already touched half of it when Lin Ye suddenly activated the scorching aura.

Seeing their health plummeting, they retreated desperately, but it was too late.

"Oh no! Boss! I lost half my health in just one second!"

Back to the present, watching his three underlings die in front of him.

Kuanglong and Lieyang remained silent for a while, then slammed their fists against the wall and explained to their underlings, "It must be a BOSS! And one of those BOSSes with a strange mechanic."

Otherwise, these incredible numbers are simply inexplicable!
