Qin Feng’s wild move! I’m impressed! Seriously impressed!

The pools of blood erupted.

Just as Qin Feng had been wary of all along.

Each pool of blood erupted, spewing black mist imbued with the Instant Death Affix, spreading outwards, enough to cover the entire area in just five seconds!

At this critical moment of life and Death, Qin Feng keenly noticed that the black mist formed after each pool of blood erupted had a gap.

If calculated as a circle, the 360-degree eruption had a 20-degree angle that was safe.

If you killed fewer bosses, leaving only two or three pools of blood on the ground, then through positioning, you could avoid the final wave of attacks…

Though difficult, it was possible to achieve.

"Tough one. The feeling I get from this black mist… it's probably attached with a 100% Instant Death Affix!"

"No matter how much Instant Death resistance you have, touching it means Instant Death!"

Qin Feng possessed a similar type of ability.

That was his detection effect against stealth, which could directly apply a 100% Stripping Affix to the target. This kind of percentage-based stacking of an Upper Affix was the most unsolvable.

And he was facing the Death Goddess!

Having a black mist eruption with 100% Instant Death was quite normal.

Based on Qin Feng's experience from his previous life, this utterly deathly silent black mist before him was most likely attached with a percentage-based Instant Death Affix!

And at this moment.

Qin Feng looked at the twenty to thirty boss corpses on the field that had turned into pools of blood, all erupting and spreading outwards simultaneously…

After each boss's blood pool erupted, only a small angle was safe.

Twenty to thirty of them stacked together.

They completely covered every corner and area of the entire field. Even the sky was shrouded in black mist. There was simply no safe corner left at all!

"Damn it!"

"This Death Goddess is too cunning!"

At that moment, Qin Feng was both amused and exasperated.

At this very moment, he finally understood the insidious nature of this temple challenge.

Through recollection…

Qin Feng confirmed that starting from the 15th minute, bosses that spawned and were killed would turn into pools of blood.

After that, the more you killed, the more blood pools accumulated on the ground.

"If you kill fewer, dodging is relatively simpler."

"Even with two or three pools of blood erupting, after they intersect, there will still be a tiny bit of leftover safe area…"

"But if you kill as many as I did…"

"The blood pools erupt across the entire field, covering every corner. There's simply nowhere to hide!"

Participating in this Death Goddess's temple challenge, those with good results could receive substantial rewards.

And Qin Feng recalled…

That White-haired Old Woman didn't say that dying during the challenge meant failing the challenge!

On the trunk ranking list of the Death Divine Tree, Qin Feng's name was already in first place!

In other words, Qin Feng was now guaranteed to receive the challenge reward. But if he died during this final wave of blood pool eruptions… he would be forcibly converted into a follower of the Death Goddess.

Even with the reward, becoming a follower…

No matter how good your challenge result was, you'd ultimately become a follower of the Death Goddess.

In fact, the better your challenge result, the harder it was to avoid this final deadly stage.

For someone like Qin Feng, who killed twenty to thirty in the last five minutes…

It was simply unavoidable!

"Insidious, so insidious."

"The weak get kicked out, given some consolation prize."

"The strong have to face a deadly trap. The stronger you are, the harder it is to survive…"

It has to be said, the Death Goddess's temple challenge setup is utterly outrageous.

But thankfully!

Facing this almost certain Death scenario, Qin Feng still had a way!

Just as nearly thirty pools of blood erupted on the field and the Instant Death black mist spread, the White-haired Old Woman watching from the sidelines already had a smile on her aged face.

"This black mist carries 100% Instant Death, and it will last for half a minute. Touch it and you die."

"You killed so many. There's not a single gap on the field… you're doomed!"

"Excellent, excellent."

"Lady Night Lotus gains another fine follower, and this follower might be…"

However.

Just as the White-haired Old Woman thought this, suddenly, something happened that made her freeze.

Then, within her pure black pupils, an unbelievable scene was reflected!

…

When the blood pools erupted, before the mist reached Qin Feng.

Qin Feng, at the fastest speed, set the 'Invulnerability' affix on himself to inactive!

In the God Forsaken Game, all passive beneficial statuses could be manually set to inactive.

This function was generally useless.

It was just for convenience in daily life.

For example, if a player had a passive shield and wanted to engage in intimate activities with another player, they couldn't do so because physical contact would be blocked by the shield…

That's why such a setting existed.

And for Qin Feng right now, this setting was a lifesaver!

Once Qin Feng's Invulnerability affix became inactive, he could be affected by control effects.

Then…

"Abyss Slow Curse."

Qin Feng raised his hand and cast an Abyss Slow Curse directly on himself.

Immediately, his movement speed, attack speed, and skill casting speed were all reduced by 99.99%!

This was the effect of the Ancient-Grade 'Abyss Slow Curse'!

In this state, all of Qin Feng's actions became slow motion. Then…

"Shadow Warp."

This was the final piece of Qin Feng's plan.

This skill allowed him to warp to a location 150 meters away. During the warping process, he was in an invincible state and unaffected by any Upper Affixes.

Under normal circumstances…

Qin Feng would only need 0.01 seconds to warp to the destination.

But now.

He was under the slow curse!

Skill casting speed reduced by 99.99%!

So…

When Qin Feng cast this skill, his entire body instantly turned into a shadow state and began warping forward at a snail's pace.

And in this state, Qin Feng was invincible.

Even if he touched the surrounding black mist, he wouldn't be affected!

???

When the White-haired Old Woman saw Qin Feng's series of actions, she was instantly dumbfounded.

On the field.

Within a mere five seconds, the entire area was shrouded in Instant Death black mist!

Touching it meant certain Death!

But…

Within this black mist, there was a figure warping through the shadows, moving forward at a snail's pace!

It looked quite comical.

But during this process, he perfectly avoided the effects of the black mist!

Even though the black mist covered the entire field without the slightest gap… Qin Feng still didn't die!

"I @#$&%…"

The White-haired Old Woman was impressed. Seriously impressed.

Even when the final half-minute ended and the black mist on the field dissipated.

Qin Feng was still in the warping state, having traversed less than a third of the distance, slowly moving through the air…

And it was at this moment.

Finally, a system prompt sounded in Qin Feng's mind.
