Boom…
The beam of light vanished.
Ten thousand monsters appeared before Ye Yun! Their colossal bodies crammed the plaza, tens of thousands of square meters wide!
“The Tool Race?”
The monsters that appeared were beyond Ye Yun’s expectations. Their physical forms and facial features were identical to humans.
These beings were naked, their bodies exuding a metallic sheen. Beneath their arms, instead of human palms, were weapons – blades, swords, hammers, of various forms, integrated into their bodies.
Ten thousand level 60 Tool Race Green Soldier-class monsters, their immense power creating an oppressive atmosphere.
A group of neither male nor female beings!
“‘Hymn of Life,’ Little Black, let’s go!”
“Demonic Flame Ground Fire!”
-112500
Ye Yun wouldn’t waste time; he went straight for his ultimate skills! He immediately cast ‘Hymn of Life’ on Black Ant, granting it a +5% max HP buff, instantly energizing it. It charged forward and slew the nearest Tool Race monster in one blow! Its attack, only slightly over twenty thousand, was like a god’s fury under Ye Yun’s talent, capable of slaying gods and demons alike.
Meanwhile, Ye Yun’s Demonic Flame enveloped a sixty-yard radius around him. Within this area, thousands of damage numbers, each 13790, instantly appeared above the heads of the Tool Race monsters!
“112500 HP, only slightly stronger than the Roaming Demon back then. Level 60 Soldier-class Tool Race monsters are nothing special!” Demonic Flame Ground Fire completely ignored enemy defense. Its already terrifying attack, amplified by his talent and divine light, dealt explosive damage.
Based on limited information from his past life, Ye Yun had calculated that his Demonic Flame Ground Fire’s damage would precisely deplete the HP of monsters of this level. He hadn't expected that Qingyue Zhenren would directly grant him a 20% attack boost.
“Human? Seeking death!”
The countless Tool Race monsters, who had been bewildered by their sudden appearance, were now enraged by Ye Yun’s merciless assault.

Black Ant, standing before Ye Yun, endured a brutal onslaught. Hundreds, even thousands, of Tool Race monsters converged on their position. From afar, Tool Race monsters with staff-like arms raised them, and dozens of spells of various colors rained down on Black Ant.
“Damn it, Little Black, hold on.” Witnessing Black Ant’s rapidly depleting HP, Ye Yun quickly cast a Rejuvenation spell on it, restoring 8170 HP per second. However, this was still insufficient compared to the rate at which it was losing health.
If not for the limited ranged attacks from the Tool Race monsters, and Ye Yun blocking one flank of physical attacks, Black Ant likely wouldn’t have lasted a few rounds! It was also taking twenty additional ranged attacks.
Fortunately, these Tool Race monsters were all large and imposing. When they formed a melee circle, only about thirty could attack them at a time. This meant that Ye Yun and Black Ant would only face around fifty attacks each round! Although both could instantly kill their opponents, the sheer numbers were overwhelming; for every one slain, another immediately took its place.
“Am I going to mess this up this time?” Ye Yun’s heart pounded as he dodged and weaved, constantly on guard.
Sizzle… Crackle…
Suddenly, the air exploded with a sound, and a lightning bolt as thick as an arm struck a Tool Race warrior. Sparks flew as the electrical arc enveloped and dazed nine of its companions, instantly killing them.
Ye Yun held a green staff, a cold smile on his lips. Damn it, bring one out, and I’ll kill one!
This move by Ye Yun spared him and Black Ant at least twenty attacks within five seconds. While their HP continued to drop, the rate slowed considerably. With their substantial HP pools and the Rejuvenation spell, they could hold on for a while. Da Feng Novel Network.
At this moment, Ye Yun finally had a brief window to check the system messages.
“System Hint: Player has slain a level 60 Soldier-class Tool Race monster, gaining 75000 experience points.”
“System Hint: Player has slain a level 60 Soldier-class Tool Race monster, killing a monster four tiers higher, skill ‘Gold Touch’ CD reduced by 8s.”
…
What the hell, eight seconds! Killing a Tool Race monster forty levels higher reduces ‘Gold Touch’ cooldown by eight seconds!
Suddenly, Ye Yun’s vision blurred as the system notification interface began to flash rapidly.
The first wave of Demonic Flame Ground Fire’s harvest ended, and the cooldown for ‘Gold Touch,’ originally 59.5 seconds, instantly became 57.6.
This alone reduced the cooldown by nearly two hours.
A single cast of Demonic Flame Ground Fire had killed a thousand Tool Race monsters! The fifty-yard radius around Ye Yun became a vacuum.
However, such heavy casualties did not deter the Tool Race monsters; instead, they became even more frenzied. To them, humans were not only mortal enemies but also their food.
That’s right, food. They consumed the blood of various races, and human blood was a delicacy in their eyes. Drawing out the essence from human blood could rapidly accelerate their growth.
Watching the thousands of Tool Race monsters charging madly, Ye Yun’s eyes turned bloodshot. Damn it, reducing two hours off my cooldown in mere seconds?
Screw this experience suppression, and screw this fatal reflection.
The immense profit instantly sent Ye Yun’s head into a frenzy. He immediately unequipped his Experience Gem. Instantly, nearly eighty million experience points from the gem propelled Ye Yun to level 13, with only 5% experience remaining until level 14.
With his level increase, Ye Yun and Black Ant, who were at two-thirds HP, were instantly restored to full health. Ye Yun, however, allocated all 1536 attribute points gained from leveling to physical defense, greatly alleviating their bleeding rate.
Seeing that a single strike from the enemy now took less than 2000 HP, Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief. Just one more level, and he would show them what despair looked like!
Ye Yun quickly re-equipped the gem. He discovered that this gem was a bug in this situation. Whenever his HP neared critical levels, he could simply take it out, level up, and instantly return to full health.
With such a beneficial situation, he had to utilize it to its fullest.
In less than a minute, Ye Yun took out the gem again. His level increased once more, and his HP, which had dropped by less than half, was restored to full.
He couldn’t help it; Ye Yun feared that if the experience in the Experience Gem accumulated too much, he might jump two levels at once. To maximize profit, he naturally opted to level up one by one, hoping he could survive and that each level-up would grant him double the attribute points.
After allocating the attribute points gained from leveling to physical defense again, the melee units’ skills now dealt only four to five hundred damage to Ye Yun and Black Ant, almost negligible to their HP.
Lightning arc…
Demonic Flame Ground Fire…
Rejuvenation…
Ye Yun cycled between these three skills. When a skill was on cooldown, he resorted to several basic attacks. Unfortunately, the Tool Race monsters were too tall, preventing Ye Yun from targeting their ranged units. Otherwise, the situation would be completely stable. After all, fifteen of the twenty ranged units were spellcasters, capable of dealing over 50,000 damage per round.
One minute later, Ye Yun gritted his teeth and leveled up again. He had no choice; the situation couldn’t be stabilized, and the experience gem accumulated experience too quickly. If he wasn't careful, he might jump two levels at once.

-1990
Ye Yun looked at the damage dealt to Black Ant by the enemy’s physical and magical attacks and breathed a sigh of relief. The situation was stable.
This was too monstrous. No wonder so few powerful players dared to come here in his past life. Ye Yun had purchased over 8 billion in attribute points previously, and with his talent and heaven-tier talent bonuses, it was equivalent to at least 120 billion full-attribute points from a player who had top-up! Yet, even then, he was at constant risk of defeat.
Finally, after ten minutes, Ye Yun saw that his long-awaited skill was usable again!
“System Hint: Congratulations to Player for advancing ‘Gold Touch’ talent to Divine level!”
