Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 164 Mechanism: Unstoppable!

Chapter 164 Mechanism: Unstoppable!
Time seemed to lose its meaning in that instant.

Lin Ye had no idea just how strong this LV40 eight-armed tribal chieftain was.

But this was the chieftain of the Bloodlust Clan, who had fought for half his life and made countless contributions.

Before he could even raise his head and see Lin Ye's face clearly, a bullet pierced his hard skull.

Then, the gun swiftly and decisively drove him into the ground from head to spine!

The next moment, the chieftain followed in the footsteps of his elite guards.

The extremely condensed golden aura exploded the moment it pierced through his body!
Under Lin Ye's spear, a cloud of blood mist exploded.

Kagrosh vanished into thin air, as if he had never existed.

Rumble——! ! !
The devastating aftershocks then fully erupted.

Centered on Lin Ye's landing point, a terrifying hole suddenly appeared in the center of the huge altar!

Then the entire altar collapsed with a deafening roar, and countless rubble were slammed into the lava river below by the unparalleled force!
The scorching magma was stirred up by this force, like a lake surface hit by a depth charge, creating towering waves.

A massive cloud of dark red lava surged dozens of meters into the sky, then transformed into a destructive rain of fire, pouring down in all directions.

The terrifying shockwave from Lin Ye's peak attack spread out in a ring before the lava and fire rain could even fall.

The dozen or so eight-armed tribesmen closest to the altar, whether they were six-armed elites or four-armed slaves, were blasted away by the violent shockwave before they could even utter a scream.

Tendons and bones severed, blood flowing from all seven orifices!

His internal organs were all shattered into a pile of minced meat.

He died before he even hit the ground.

All the surviving eight-armed tribesmen had blank minds.

Everything happened so suddenly and so fast.

One second they were devoutly worshipping their tribe's god, Bhasura, and were in a frenzy for the upcoming sacrifice.

The next second, their chieftain and all the guard commanders were gone.

The sacred altar, along with the altar, sank into the lava and was completely destroyed.

Om-! !

Almost at the same time as Lin Ye landed, a visible blue shockwave suddenly erupted from the giant mouth of the statue high in the sky!

A dense blue ball of light formed in the mouth of the statue, frantically devouring all the light around it.

The entire head of the statue was strangely distorted under the influence of this ball of light.

The next moment, the ball of light suddenly shrank to a singularity and then disappeared without a sound.

The area below the nose of the statue was also torn apart and erased by some terrifying spatial law, leaving a smooth, mirror-like notch.

In the shadows on the other side of the canyon.

Nie Cang and the five instructors behind him were completely petrified.

The six people stared intently at the devastating hell on earth in the distance, their hearts filled with turbulent emotions!
what's the situation? !

what happened? !
A meteorite hit?

Or was it ejecta from that doomsday volcano?

Only Nie Cang, with his superhuman dynamic vision, managed to catch a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure in that split second.

But the figure was moving too fast, so fast that he couldn't see clearly who it was in a short time.

A face appeared in Nie Cang's mind.

But the next moment, he became somewhat uncertain.

It shouldn't be him..., right?

That kid named Lin Ye was preparing for a breakthrough in the Marrow Cleansing Hall not long ago.

It is absolutely unreasonable to break through from the Perfected Opening Meridian Realm to the Condensed Qi Realm within half a month.

Most people have to endure at least several months of hardship at this stage.

Even a genius like Dongfang Zhen took a full month and a half to achieve his breakthrough.

Not to mention that he was able to create this level of destruction right after breaking through to the Condensation Realm.

Nie Cang's gaze shifted to the half-destroyed statue.

That strange blue light just now was undoubtedly the unique fluctuation caused by the spatial folding function of the combat bracelet being activated.

His spirits lifted suddenly.

If those three students could activate the bracelets themselves, they would have used them long ago.

Even if their hands and feet are bound and they cannot operate, the bracelet has a life-saving mechanism that is automatically triggered when their vital signs drop to a dangerous threshold.

The only explanation is that their bracelets have been confiscated or destroyed by the Eight-Armed Clan.

So, someone must have... saved them just now!
Moreover, the person who made the move should also be a student in the training camp!
In the blink of an eye, he swiftly killed the tribe's most powerful target, and also timed it perfectly, using his bracelet to rescue three of his companions.

His judgment of timing was so precise that he could ultimately kill the enemy with a single blow.

This shrewdness, this audacity, this strength!

Nie Cang even felt a touch of admiration.

He has the same high standards for the trainees in the training camp, but at this moment, he is willing to give this trainee the evaluation of "both intelligent and brave"!

who is it?

The one with this level of destructive power must be one of those people.

Dongfang Zhen?
It is quite possible that his destructive power has always been astonishing.

He's improved again!
But... why didn't I sense even the slightest fluctuation of lightning-attribute source energy from beginning to end?
That strike was purely domineering, without any elemental attributes.

While they were pondering, the eight-armed tribesmen surrounding the altar erupted in a volcanic rage.

"Roar--!!!"

Inside the canyon, all the eight-armed tribesmen raised their heads, their scarlet eyes fixed on the center of the altar ruins.

Their gods were publicly humiliated, their king was assassinated during a sacrifice, and their most sacred altar was destroyed in a single blow.

Deep-seated hatred and a frenzied fighting spirit instantly devoured their reason.

At the very front, the dozens of eight-armed tribesmen closest to Lin Ye's landing point roared and launched their charge.

No one could understand what they were yelling, but Lin Ye knew it certainly wasn't a friendly greeting.

I bet the insults were really harsh.

Lin Ye glanced out of the corner of his eye at the flattened chin of the statue above.

Large amounts of source crystals and putrid pus poured down from it, cascading like a waterfall into the lava river below, stirring up plumes of foul-smelling white smoke.

But he did not see the three students.

They should... be saved, right?

Thoughts can be uttered in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, a barrage of arrows tore through the air, sealing off all his escape routes.

The five or six elite six-armed warriors closest to him leaped high into the air, their battle axes and scimitars drawing deadly arcs as they aimed directly at Lin Ye's vital points.

However, whether it's a high-speed arrow or a powerful sword, it doesn't matter.

When they were still a few centimeters away from Lin Ye's body, they seemed to have hit an invisible barrier, instantly shattered into dust, and broke apart!
hum!
A layer of golden aura appeared on his body, like flowing molten gold, surging with blazing waves of flame, shattering all attacks that came near his body.

This was the first time Lin Ye had used the most classic defensive method of a Condensing Qi Realm martial artist.

A protective armor attached to the body.

He could clearly sense that this method of using Qi Sha, which integrates offense and defense, was no less defensive than the amethyst armor formed by [Crystallization], but its energy consumption was much lower.

Crystallization requires mental energy, which Lin Ye cannot maintain for a long time.

However, the internal energy within him was like a mighty river, enough to sustain him through days of intense battles without drying up.

Having confirmed his current defensive capabilities, Lin Ye had no more worries.

He switched from holding the Piercing Star Spear with both hands back to holding it with one hand.

[Cleave] skill activated.

Lin Ye's eyes turned cold. Facing the eight-armed tribe members surging towards him like a tide, his arm muscles bulged, and he suddenly swept his arm horizontally!
boom--! ! !
A crescent-shaped golden wave of energy shot out from the spear!

That wasn't an illusory energy light and shadow, but a destructive blade wind formed by extremely compressed Qi and the [Cleave] skill!

The golden aura of death surged forward with unstoppable force.

The ferocity and fanaticism on the faces of the dozens of eight-armed tribesmen who were at the forefront of the attack instantly froze.

Before they could even react, their bodies were severed at the waist the instant they came into contact with the golden wave.

While his upper body was still in mid-air, his lower body was completely annihilated by the subsequent cleavage attack.

Where the golden waves pass, not a blade of grass grows.

In an instant, a huge vacuum zone with a radius of more than ten meters was cleared in front of Lin Ye, leaving only charred marks and the lingering smell of blood.

In the shadows in the distance, Nie Cang and the five instructors behind him finally saw the scene at the center of the altar.

The river of lava is churning, and the ruins are collapsing.

At the heart of that scene of destruction.

A figure was bathed in flowing golden flames, holding a black spear in his right hand.

Standing on a layer of amethyst walls, it felt like walking in a small boat from the center of a lava lake towards the shore.

With each step he took, the amethyst beneath his feet extended forward a little further. Behind him was a raging sea of fire, and in front of him were hundreds and thousands of fearless alien berserkers.

The scene resembled a demon god emerging from the depths of hell.

"That is……"

A female instructor next to Nie Cang instinctively covered her mouth, her eyes filled with shock. The others exchanged bewildered glances, their Adam's apples bobbing, speechless.

As Nie Cang looked at that figure, disbelief truly appeared in his eyes for the first time.

It's really him!

Lin Ye!

Has he already achieved a breakthrough?

Nie Cang stared intently at the layer of aura on Lin Ye's body that resembled golden flames.

What type of aura is this?

Fire, or metal?
No, none of those. It was a purer and more domineering form of energy that he had never seen before.

"Captain Nie...should we...go and help him?"

An instructor's voice broke the silence.

Nie Cang's gaze lingered for a moment on the black figure that moved through the army at supersonic speed, killing ten people with each step, before finally shaking his head.

"Walk."

His voice was dry.

"He doesn't need our support."

Nie Cang planned to go back and have a serious talk with Yin Liulan about this matter.

The other five instructors exchanged glances again, and all of them saw undisguised horror in each other's eyes.

First came that stunning shot, like a falling star, that instantly killed the chieftain.

Now, it's as if he's unleashed a devastating attack, rapidly reaping the lives of those powerful alien races.

One man, one gun, fighting alone against a foreign tribe that even their combined strength of six men felt was dangerous.

Horror!
……

The very next second that Lin Ye was besieged by countless eight-armed tribesmen.

The system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! You have successfully killed Chief Kaglosh of the Bloodlust Tribe without being noticed by more than 10 Eight-Armed Clan members!]

[You have completed the challenge: Assassinate the King!]

You have gained 150000 experience points and 5 skill points!

[You have gained a new mechanic: Unstoppable (blue)!]

Lin Ye felt a sense of relief as he watched the eight-armed tribe surge towards him like a tide.

These alien races from the heavens are so stubborn; they won't run away. That's wonderful.

When Lin Ye killed Chief Kagrosh in an instant, he didn't receive any notification from the [Gluttony] mechanism regarding new skills or traits, which left him somewhat disappointed.

After all, the powerful temporary skills he had acquired in the past were all obtained when he killed boss-level units.

This time it didn't happen; it just goes to show that luck isn't always on your side.

But it doesn't matter, there are still so many eight-armed tribesmen lined up waiting to be killed, there will always be an opportunity.

Due to the vast difference in strength, Lin Ye even had time to examine the new mechanics he had just acquired during the battle.

[Unstoppable (Blue): You are now immune to all action interruptions and stun effects caused by combat collisions, enemy attacks, and your own attacks on enemy targets.]

When you actively use skills at any stage, you will enter an unstoppable state for 1 second, becoming immune to all control effects.

[Note: You guys will lose!]

Lin Ye's eyes lit up.

This mechanism has two effects, one passive and one active.

The passive effect can be understood using the "super armor" mechanism from various fighting games.

Now, neither the hitstun caused by being attacked, nor the "pre-attack animation" and "post-attack animation" caused by actively attacking, will exist for him.

This means that he has now become a BOSS with a state of invincibility throughout the entire process.

The second, more strategically valuable effect is the proactive one.

When using system skills, gain 1 second of "immunity to control".

He will be completely immune to both mind control and physical control such as confinement or restraint!
If used properly, it is definitely a rare and invaluable skill.

Lin Ye's gaze darkened as he looked at the large number of eight-armed tribesmen before him.

Perfect, I'll use you guys to test out my new abilities.

With a thought, Lin Ye took the initiative to remove the protective armor from his body.

"Roar!"

Several fearless elite members of the eight-armed tribe seized the opportunity and instantly closed in. Their six arms became afterimages, and their fists, like a storm, slammed into Lin Ye's chest!

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The dull, resounding impacts continued.

However, to the bewilderment of the eight-armed creatures, the human before them did not react at all.

Although their fists were hitting Lin Ye's flesh and blood, it was as if they were hitting an immovable, towering mountain.

The human body did not sway in the slightest.

This feeling completely contradicted their understanding of combat and common sense.

Physics... no longer exists!
In the instant they were stunned, Lin Ye moved.

The power of the Piercing Star Spear in his hand suddenly changed.

Breaking Army Stance!
This was a gun stance he hadn't used in a long time.

Because its moves are wide and powerful, the openings between its attacks and its counterattacks are also huge.

In high-intensity combat situations, a lot of effort is required just for the preparation before making a move and the adjustment afterward.

But now, these worries are no longer worries.

Lin Ye suddenly lunged forward, delivering a powerful thrust that instantly pierced the chest of an eight-armed clansman directly in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, he flicked his wrist, and the gun swept horizontally.

Without any pause to retract the attack, the spear shaft, accompanied by a whistling sound as it tore through the air, slammed heavily onto the head of another eight-armed member on the left, smashing his brains out.

In the next instant, the spear changed its move again, rising from below and piercing through the jaw of the third eight-armed tribesman, exiting through the top of his head.

There is no pre-rocking, and no post-rocking.

Lin Ye's attacks were seamlessly connected to the next, flowing smoothly and effortlessly.

It's incredibly smooth, yet extremely fast.

His attacks turned into a never-ending dance of death.

More and more eight-armed creatures surrounded him, their attacks raining down on Lin Ye, but they couldn't budge him an inch.

In a siege scenario, their combat instincts told them...

They should have tried to seize the opening after Lin Ye made his move to counterattack, but they were horrified to find that the so-called opening did not exist at all.

This human being is like a tireless and never-ending killing machine.

His moves were simple and brutal, yet they were rendered flawless by the incredible speed at which they were executed.

puff!

Lin Ye swept his spear horizontally, the golden aura at the tip of the spear drawing a long arc of light, instantly severing three eight-armed clansmen in half at the waist.

He didn't even bother to look at the fallen corpses anymore; his steps didn't falter, his gun flashed like a dragon, and he continued to advance.

His figure carved a path of blood and flesh through the black tide of thousands of eight-armed tribesmen.

The frenzied killing also brings a huge amount of experience points.

The system notification sounded once for each kill at first, but Lin Ye found it a bit annoying, so he set it to give a notification only during the intervals between his kills.

After a long time, when Lin Ye had killed all the eight-armed clansmen within his reach.

A notification sounded in my mind.

You have killed 44 eight-armed creatures, including 6 elite eight-armed creatures.

[Due to the influence of the cultivation technique "True Explanation of the Two Elements of the Great Void", the experience point multiplier is now set at 180%!]

[Killing someone of a higher level triggers an extra experience reward, increasing the experience bonus by 80%!]

You have gained a total of 86321 experience points!

[Ding! Your level has increased to LV32!]

You have gained 2 free attribute points!

You have gained 1 skill point.

A warm current surged from the depths of the dantian, instantly flowing through the limbs and bones.

The energy and stamina depleted in the battle were instantly replenished.

The thrill of the upgrade was fleeting, but Lin Ye's brows remained furrowed.

The voice he had been waiting for never came.

The feedback from the Taotie mechanism still only indicated that he had gained attribute points, but not skills or racial traits.

His gaze swept over the hundreds of eight-armed tribesmen still putting up a stubborn resistance in the canyon, and Lin Ye's heart hardened.

Since the probability is low and luck is bad.
