Chapter 325: Chapter 167: Ignoring Control, Instant Kill
[The 28th wave of attacks is imminent!]
In Lin Ye’s eyes, this ferocious, incoming wave of the Celestial Abyss Race was no more than a disorderly mob.
The next moment, his Undead Legion clashed violently with the newly formed Alien Race Legion.
The living puppets, serving as the vanguard, fearlessly tore through the enemy’s formation. Meanwhile, the Corpse Puppets transformed into an endless tide, using their absolute numerical superiority to completely submerge the enemy and tear them all to shreds!
No one could have predicted that the battle would be so one-sided from the very beginning.
The newly formed Alien Race Legion, facing an Army of the Dead that vastly outnumbered them, couldn’t even mount a decent resistance. They were instantly overwhelmed, completely surrounded, and finally, devoured piece by piece until none remained.
But it wasn’t over yet.
In the brief lull as the 29th wave of the alien race was forming, the corpses from all 28 previous waves were instantly devoured by the ever-expanding black swamp beneath their feet.
In just a few moments, they staggered back to their feet, an eerie black light glowing in their empty eye sockets, becoming new members of Lin Ye’s resurrected army.
In the monitoring room, Yin Liulan and Nie Cang finally had a moment to tear their eyes away from the worldview-shattering display on Lin Ye’s screen and look at the others.
Dongfang Zhen was still holding on, but he was at the end of his rope.
The light of his Thunder Domain had dimmed considerably. He leaned on his Thunder Pattern Halberd, his chest heaving violently, his Spiritual Power and Gang Sha nearly depleted.
As for Zhang Daoxuan, his screen had gone dark midway through the 27th wave.
The rest had been eliminated long ago.
[The 29th wave of attacks is imminent!]
The cold, mechanical prompt sounded as a new wave of the alien race began to materialize on the distant wasteland.
The terrifying number of them and the powerful auras they exuded made even Nie Cang sigh internally.
There were over three hundred members of the alien race, and nearly a hundred of them were elites.
What was even more terrifying was that at the four corners of the legion stood four colossal, boss-level members of the alien race!
A force of this magnitude was no longer something a Gang Condensation Realm Martial Artist could withstand.
Nie Cang truly couldn’t understand what the people who designed this assessment were thinking.
However, when he and Yin Liulan turned their gazes back to Lin Ye’s screen, they were both stunned.
Faced with an enemy force that would drive any chosen one to despair, Lin Ye simply stood behind his Dead Legion—which had already grown to over a thousand strong—and with an indifferent expression, casually raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
SNAP.
The crisp sound was like a signal.
The next moment, among the puppet legion under his command, the Molten Demon Race puppets that hadn’t had a chance to self-destruct in the previous battle lit up. The Molten Fire Cores in their chests flared with an intensely brilliant light.
Like a swarm of fireflies on a mission, they fearlessly charged into the assembling formation of the 29th wave of the alien race.
They didn’t detonate one by one to sow chaos.
Instead, under Lin Ye’s precise control, they all reached their pre-assigned coordinates at the exact same moment—positions calculated to maximize the coverage of the enemy’s formation.
Then, they self-destructed. Simultaneously.
BOOM—!!!!
Dozens of devastating fireballs blossomed from within the Alien Race Legion, linking together and weaving a sea of fiery death.
What was even more horrifying was that the 29th wave of the alien race itself contained a large number of the Molten Demon Race.
These living Molten Demons were caught in the terrifying heat and shockwaves of the explosions, causing the Molten Fire Cores in their bodies to instantly go out of control and trigger a violent chain reaction.
They, too, exploded!
In an instant, the entire virtual battlefield was consumed by a blinding white light.
Immediately after, a giant mushroom cloud, reeking of sulfur and burnt flesh, slowly rose over the wasteland.
After the deafening roar, the world fell completely silent.
The 29th wave of the alien race...
Annihilated!
Nie Cang sucked in a sharp breath of cold air, completely frozen in place.
’You can actually fight like that?’
’This is the art of war!’
’Lin Ye has gone from a mere test-taker to a full-fledged commander, orchestrating the entire battle!’
What made his scalp tingle even more was that Lin Ye’s suicide attack hadn’t even used up all the Molten Demon Race puppets in his legion.
This meant he could pull the same trick again in the upcoming final wave!
Yin Liulan looked at Lin Ye on the screen, then turned to the petrified Nie Cang beside him.
"Now, do you still think it’s impossible for someone to pass the 30th wave?"
Nie Cang shook his head with a wry smile. "This ability... it’s practically tailor-made for this kind of defensive battle."
"In an environment with an endless supply of enemy corpses, he’s theoretically invincible!"
...
「A few minutes later.」
Lin Ye’s vision blurred, and the surrounding scenery instantly vanished. He found himself back in a waiting area with four pure white walls.
He looked up and saw Dongfang Zhen, Zhang Daoxuan, and the others, all panting for breath with foreheads covered in cold sweat.
Nearly everyone’s face showed the exhaustion and collapse of a near-death experience. Only Lin Ye remained calm, his breathing steady, as if he had just returned from a leisurely stroll.
His completely relaxed demeanor instantly drew everyone’s attention.
’It’s... over?’
’How many waves did he clear?’
The same questions echoed in everyone’s mind.
The space rippled slightly, and the figures of Nie Cang and Yin Liulan appeared.
Su Yunjin stood beside them, her expression still showing an unconcealable trace of lingering fear as she looked at Lin Ye.
Nie Cang, holding a data tablet, scanned the crowd and announced loudly, "The first assessment, ’Hold the Line,’ is now over. The results will now be announced."
