Chapter 354 Frenzied Monster Grinding
They simultaneously unleashed a dense barrage of damage numbers—the terrifying spell damage amplified by the Intelligence attribute.
Immediately afterward, before the gathered monsters could react, Lin Tian extended his right hand towards the dense horde of monsters, slowly clenching his five fingers.
"Shinra Tensei"
Om-!
A pure repulsive force, more violent and irresistible than "Universal Pull," erupted indiscriminately in all directions from him as the origin!
The air was compressed, creating visible twists and ripples, and the ground cracked and rolled up layer by layer!
The monsters that had just been pulled in seemed to have crashed into an invisible, rapidly expanding wall of steel, accompanied by a sickening sound of bones shattering.
It flew back at an even faster speed than it had come, and its body exploded into a cloud of blood mist and fragments in mid-air. It died before it even hit the ground.

The notification messages scrolled by like a waterfall, only to be instantly filtered out by Lin Tian.
He didn't stop, continuing deeper into the area.
He didn't even bother using area-of-effect skills against monsters that came from scattered spots or from tricky angles.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and the "Eye of Domination" was silently activated. Within his gaze, each target was instantly struck as if by lightning, their mental state completely torn apart, their soul fire extinguished or their consciousness dissipated, and they collapsed to the ground.
Soon, he encountered the first big guy in the withered woods - [Poisonous Nest Mother Corrupted Mutant] (Lv.63, Area Boss).
It was much larger than its kin from the swamp, and its core venom sac shimmered with an ominous purplish-black light, surrounded by dozens of living poison vines covered in barbs and slime.
The nest mother let out a piercing screech, and all the poisonous vines lashed out like mad pythons, simultaneously spewing out a wide-ranging corrosive mist.
Lin Tian did not move, but simply raised his left hand.
"Law-bound".
Four chains, composed entirely of azure law runes, shot out from the void, ignoring the interception of the poison vines and the corrosive effects of the poisonous mist, and precisely wrapped around the Nest Mother's enormous core poison sac.
The tightening chains not only caused massive damage but also instantly paralyzed the behemoth, suspending all its abilities, and causing the poison vines to droop helplessly.
The next second, Lin Tian extended his right index finger, and a dazzling starlight shone from the tip of his finger.
"Astral rays".
laugh--!
A condensed, almost tangible beam of starlight, only a finger's diameter yet containing destructive power, shot out, causing the space around its edge to distort slightly.
The 50% spell penetration effect renders the thick layer of decaying bark and magic resistance on the surface of the Nest Mother virtually useless.
The beam of light pierced through the imprisoned core of the poison sac without any obstruction, leaving a scorched hole that was open from front to back and had edges that shimmered with starlight.
"Starstorm".
Lin Tian did not stop. He whispered the skill name and pointed towards the area where the Nest Mother was located.
Above that area, space was torn open like a rag, creating a dazzling rift. Fragments of raging stars and destructive torrents of energy poured down, completely engulfing the Nest Mother, who had not yet been freed from her confinement and whose core had already been severely damaged.
The five-second-long star storm tore at its remains, and the final contraction and explosion completely erased the last trace of its existence.

Picking up the materials, Lin Tian turned to the next map—Bone Shoal.
This is a pale land piled up with the bones of countless aquatic or amphibious creatures, teeming with various undead and skeleton monsters.
Faced with the [Skeleton Warrior] (Lv.64), [Wraith Water Ghost] (Lv.62), and [Giant Bone Crocodile] (Lv.65, Elite) that emerged from the pile of bones and surged forth like a tide, Lin Tian chose a more efficient method.
He immediately activated the "Starry Sky Stance".
Instantly, he was enveloped in a hazy starlight, resonating with the faint phantom of the starry sky above his head.
Mana consumption has been greatly reduced.
Immediately afterwards, he targeted the area with the highest concentration of monsters and unleashed a combination of "Astral Imprisonment" and "Universal Pull".
First, use "Astral Imprisonment" to create a freezing force field, imprisoning a large number of monsters and applying increased damage and shield decay effects. Then, use "Universal Pull," which has almost no cooldown in this stance, to forcibly pull them to the center of the force field, where they will suffer continuous star frost damage and a huge explosion when the force field ends.
Occasionally, a skeleton mage might slip through the net or throw a bone spear from afar, but a "Star Ray" with an extremely fast cooldown would accurately kill them.
During the short duration of the "Starry Sky Formation," the core area of the Bone Shoal was completely emptied.
The area boss here is a giant crocodile named Longka (Lv.66, boss) made up of countless giant sea beast skeletons. It awakens from the foot of the bone mountain, letting out a deafening roar, and its tail whip can shatter small mountains.
Lin Tian didn't even intend to deal with it.
With a thought, a shadowy figure appeared beside him, a "Shadow Clone" that possessed 100% of his attributes and skills.
The main body and the clone raised their hands almost simultaneously.
The main body cast "Law Imprisonment," and four chains tightly bound Longka's massive body.
At the same moment, the clone unleashed "Dominator's Eye" on the imprisoned head of Lonka.
The combined impact of the true mental damage and the domineering pressure caused the soul fire of this skeletal behemoth to flicker violently.
Immediately afterwards, both the main body and the clone pointed to the sky—the chanting of "Forbidden Spell: Heavenly Fire Burns the City" possessed the same earth-shattering power, thanks to the 100% attribute shared by the clone.
Although it wasn't used to clear the area at this moment, the holy flame that locked onto the center of the area still inflicted unparalleled continuous burning and true damage on the individual target.
Under the imprisonment, mental shock, and the burning of the double heavenly fire, Longka's massive skeletal body quickly turned charred and disintegrated, finally falling apart completely with a mournful cry of unwillingness, and the fire of his soul was extinguished.
