The more monsters there are, the fewer monsters there will be? Genius!

"You all go back first."

When the second statue formed, Qin Feng raised his hand and sent Osirio, Grey Chicken, and Samiya back into the mount bell and pet space.

The attack power of the monsters in the arena was too high; they couldn't withstand it at all.

Don't be fooled by how easily Qin Feng was killing these small monsters; he was under zero pressure.

But that was because Qin Feng's damage-dealing ability far exceeded his defensive capability!

If his damage output was SSS-grade.

Then his defensive capability was at most A-grade.

The reason no players could currently harm Qin Feng was that the other players were at too low a level.

If he were to truly face an opponent of the same level, such as a Legendary BOSS like the 'Mechanical Rubiks Cube', Qin Feng might actually die at its hands if he didn't have some targeted countermeasures.

It was the same for these small monsters right now.

Under the boost of a thousand-fold attributes, the damage of these small monsters was extremely high!

A typical level 30 monster had a base attack of two or three thousand points. When attacking Qin Feng, after various damage reductions, the damage would be completely negated by 'damage block', resulting in zero damage.

However, after their attributes increased a thousand-fold, their skill damage landing on Qin Feng could deal several thousand damage each time!

"If it weren't for Shadow Arc, it wouldn't have been so easy to survive."

The corners of Qin Feng's mouth curled up slightly.

Relying on Shadow Arc, the damage he received would not take effect immediately but would be delayed by three seconds.

Three seconds was already a very long time for Qin Feng.

It was completely enough for him to lifesteal and negate the damage received!

"Come on."

As stone man monsters emerged one after another from the purple mirrors around him.

Qin Feng immediately used Instant Shadow Slash, and together with the Abyssal Puppet, instantly hit several monsters, creating a super-thick shield equivalent to ten times his health!

Several stone men were instantly killed on the spot.

However, Qin Feng noticed that these stone men were level 32 monsters, and their attributes were slightly higher than the level 30 and 31 monsters from just before.

Their health exceeded two million, and their defense and damage reduction were higher, meaning Qin Feng's Shadow Blade could only deal around eight million damage… Fortunately, it was still an instant kill!

Furthermore, the Shadow Blade began to bounce infinitely within this not-so-spacious cave!

Within a mere two seconds, all of these appearing stone men were shot to death by the bouncing Shadow Blade!

During this process, although Qin Feng received several tens of thousands of damage, it only generated a sliver of grey shield.

Fortunately, he just casually found a stone man, used one 'Crimson Blade', and was directly healed to full!

As the challenge reached the third minute.

Because no one was helping to gather the monsters, Qin Feng's speed of killing them was indeed a little slower.

However, after Qin Feng finished these three minutes, he found that his ranking had finally entered the top ten thousand, reaching around nine thousand six hundred!

"Ten thousandth place is about 37,000 points."

"I'm currently nearing 38,000 points, which is why I've rushed to around 9,600th place."

Immediately following that, the third statue was born!

— — [Elite: From this point on, all monsters in this area will carry the 'Elite Template'!]

[Score Boost: From this point on, you will receive four times the points for killing monsters!]

— — When the system prompt arrived, Qin Feng was a bit surprised.

"Are the next monsters all Elites?"

"Doesn't that mean their health, attack, and defense will all increase by several times?"

"And they will also come with various skills!"

The previous three waves of monsters were just small monsters, and their attack methods were very monotonous. Although they all had ranged attacks, they didn't really have any skills to speak of.

From here on out… the difficulty would only get higher and higher!

Immediately after, groups of Elite-level monsters surged out from the remaining thirteen mirrors.

As expected! Their health, defense, and attack power had once again skyrocketed to about three times what they were before!

Qin Feng sent out a Shadow Blade, but it could only deal a little over five million damage, just barely missing the mark for an instant kill!

"Fortunately, I still have cards up my sleeve."

The corners of Qin Feng's mouth curled up as the Wings of Death spread out behind him, and he instantly flew into mid-air!

As he flew in circles at top speed, the effect of the Deathwing Angel Bloodline was revealed: the faster his movement speed, the higher his damage. At most, when he was ten times faster than the target, he would gain a ten-fold damage boost!

With this, one Shadow Blade dealt tens of millions of damage, instantly killing the monsters once again!

40,000 points, 9,200th place. 42,000 points, 8,900th place. 45,000 points, 8,600th place…

…Time reached the fourth minute, and Qin Feng's points had already reached 58,000, ranking him around 6,800th place.

"This is truly fierce."

"If it were my past life self coming to this Path to the End challenge, I could score at most ten thousand points, and that would only be possible by relying on level suppression…"

Qin Feng sighed with emotion.

No wonder he had never heard of any Path to the End in his past life.

Not to mention the Path to the End, he hadn't even come into contact with the next-tier 'Path of Despair'…

Just then. The fourth purple statue formed, causing all subsequent monsters to carry a BOSS template (randomly Bronze, Silver, or Gold), and killing monsters would grant five times the points!

The monsters' health was higher! Defense was higher!

Especially the Golden-level BOSS, whose health and defense were dozens of times that of normal small monsters.

Even with the movement speed damage boost from the Deathwing Angel, he couldn't instantly kill them anymore.

However, it didn't have much of an impact.

Because Qin Feng's attacks came with the 'Throat Cut' effect from Graceful Liberation, all damage would continuously deal a total of 15 times the damage!

Even if he couldn't kill them in one hit, they would all die after one tick of continuous damage.

You have to know, these monsters were all entities with thousand-fold attributes!

In front of Qin Feng… they still couldn't last more than two seconds!

Immediately after, the fifth statue formed, and all monsters carried the Platinum-grade Boss template! Six times the points!

The sixth statue formed, causing all monsters to recover 30% of their maximum health per second! Seven times the points!

The seventh statue formed, causing all monsters to recover 100% of their maximum health per second! Eight times the points!

At this moment, even Qin Feng was a bit dumbfounded.

When the monsters all carried the Platinum-grade Boss template, even his current damage couldn't take them down within one second, and on top of that, they recovered 100% of their health per second—how was this even playable?

The key was that these buffs were granted by those purple statues; they were of a very high level and could not be dispelled or stolen!

Initially, Qin Feng intended to use the 'Instant Death Affix' to deal with it.

But he soon discovered that these monsters with thousand-fold attributes also had their Superior Resistance increased by a thousand times. Each of them had hundreds of thousands of Instant Death resistance, and their Superior gauge would also deplete every second…

This completely ruled out the possibility of using a Superior Affix to solve the problem from the very beginning!

"No wonder I'm already ranked around 500th with 159,000 points."

"The vast majority of people, upon reaching this stage, simply cannot kill the Platinum-grade Boss with thousand-fold attributes anymore…"

Fortunately, this couldn't stump Qin Feng!

Since these BOSS monsters could no longer be instantly killed, the Shadow Blades thrown by him and the Abyssal Puppet began to bounce wildly, and the more they bounced around the arena, the more there were, until the entire arena was filled with Shadow Blades!

"In a confined space, with Shadow Blades bouncing infinitely, theoretically speaking… wouldn't it be possible to instantly kill no matter how many monsters spawn?"

Because, once the monsters couldn't be instantly killed, the Shadow Blades would keep bouncing, multiplying until they could instantly kill the monsters!

"The more monsters there are, the more bouncing Shadow Blades there are."

"The more Shadow Blades there are, the more damage the monsters take."

"The more damage the monsters take, the faster they die."

"The faster the monsters die, the fewer monsters there are."

"Therefore…"

"The more monsters there are, the fewer monsters there are?"

"I really am a genius!"
