The enhanced Yellow Turban Warriors, although capable of equipping six items, were all still at level 1. With their already immense base stats, level 1 equipment made little difference. It was better to wait until their levels increased before dealing with it.
With the brand new Yellow Turban Warriors, Lin Feng arrived outside the city. The previous cultivation pearls had been used up and met their end. They needed to be reinforced again. He reinforced the last cultivation amplification pill on him to the twelfth level. This time, he didn't manage to enhance the effect of teammates also enjoying the buffs. The base stats were simply boosted to 1500%, and the duration increased to 240 minutes. This suited Lin Feng just fine.
Although he had become more familiar with his teammates, in their current situation, they were already capable of handling things independently. If they teamed up, they could face any difficulty in the game. For now, their growth would rely on themselves. Lin Feng needed to accelerate his own progress.
He returned to the place where he had previously opened the instance. He remembered that after using this instance ticket, clearing the nightmare difficulty instance would allow him to challenge the "No Survivors" difficulty. Just hearing the name, it felt tailor-made for Lin Feng. In the Eternal World, who else had such courage? No, such qualification?
Lin Feng took a deep breath and walked into the instance.
You have entered Instance 15, Hidden Difficulty: No Survivors. In this instance, no revival items can be used, and revival-related skill effects will be restricted. Cultivation amplification within the instance is 200%, and drop amplification is 50%. After the instance concludes, your performance will be automatically evaluated based on the number of monsters killed to receive different bonus rewards. This level of instance will permanently disappear after being cleared.
No revival? Other players might have backed down immediately. Lin Feng, however, was completely unfazed. If his current strength wasn't enough to survive, then any other player, or any team, attempting this instance would likely be instantly annihilated. As for the generous buffs to cultivation and drops, it made him a little wary. He understood a principle: the greater the benefit, the greater the difficulty. This instance was getting interesting.
He examined his current status panel.

The changes to skills and equipment were not significant. The base attributes had seen a small improvement. The biggest change was undoubtedly the spirit power. With 29100 points of mana, he could freely use various powerful skills, even contemplating using "Torrential Pear Blossom" multiple times in a row. He only feared not encountering such a boss.
For ordinary players, obtaining the title "Guardian of Qingchuan City" only granted a 5% increase to all attributes. However, Lin Feng's "Guardian God of Qingchuan City" provided 10%. This further boosted his base attributes. Unfortunately, the increased all attributes only applied to base stats, not special attributes.
Even with some imperfections and dissatisfactions, Lin Feng's combat power had leaped from over 50,000 to 180,000. This number left him momentarily stunned. In his past life, what level player would this be equivalent to? He wasn't sure how to compare. With such a panel, he felt more confident facing this instance.
However, the first wave of monsters that spawned still startled him. The monsters themselves were not unusual; they were Rapid Wild Leopards, just like before. The issue was their sheer numbers. Instantly, nearly fifty Rapid Wild Leopards appeared before Lin Feng's eyes. This was almost as many as the total number in previous instances. Behind them, more were moving in dense masses. With Lin Feng's eyesight, he couldn't count them all at once.
Was this what "No Survivors" meant? A war of attrition? Lin Feng pursed his lips and chuckled. "With my current strength, I have no fear of a war of attrition."
Saint Cassius and the Wall of Sighs dashed out to the sides, attracting the attention of over a dozen monsters. Lin Feng drew his sword.
-4500!
-21180!
This strike did not trigger a critical hit. With a 10-fold difference in defense, it dealt 3-fold damage due to the crushing effect, resulting in only 4500 damage. However, the attached fixed damage instantly annihilated one Rapid Wild Leopard.
Ding, you have killed a level 10 Rapid Wild Leopard. After using item amplification, you gained 1296x1500% cultivation, Light of Qingchuan provided an additional 1296 cultivation, the instance buff granted 1296x200% cultivation, the extra level-up bonus provided 44064 cultivation, and profit amplification yielded 33048 cultivation. You ultimately gained 99144 cultivation.
"Good heavens!" Although the base stats of this monster were the same as those in the nightmare difficulty instance, with the buffs from the new cultivation pearls and various other amplifications, a mere small fry contributed nearly 100,000 cultivation to Lin Feng. This was the amount of cultivation ordinary players would gain in hours or even an entire day in monster zones. Lin Feng had only swung his sword a few times.
He also noticed that the final calculation of the "profit amplification" instance permission was done after the "extra level-up bonus," indicating its importance. He looked forward to future instances. It seemed he needed to secure more first-kill instance achievements to obtain more instance permissions. He felt even more motivated for his current instance journey.
His sword danced, and high damage numbers floated in the air.
-45900!
-91800!
-183600!
With Lin Feng's current damage, a critical hit dealt over 40,000 damage. When the sword qi spread and caused splash damage, it was double damage. And when "Sword Qi Entanglement" was active and "Sword Qi Spread" triggered again, it resulted in another double damage. With one swing, eight monsters were likely to fall. If "Sword Qi Spread" triggered consecutively, under the enhancement of his traits, another ten monsters would fall.
In the blink of an eye, before the Flying General could even make a move, Lin Feng had cleared the over fifty Rapid Wild Leopards before him. This also meant over 5 million cultivation points were acquired. And with the instance permission for auto-loot, he didn't even need to bend down. The gold and items dropped by the monsters were all automatically picked up into his inventory. It was incredibly satisfying!
