Thousands of thoughts ran through Lin Huang's mind as he watched the monsters that were coming out of the Virtual Eye like a tide.
The difficulty of this test had reached an unimaginable level.
If there were monsters coming out of the Virtual Eye 24 hours a day, it would mean that he would have to fight for 24 hours to protect the foothold below.
With the current frequency and number of monsters coming out of the Virtual Eye, even a demigod-level powerhouse would not be able to last more than ten hours if his Life Power was drained.
If not for the Divine Fire in his body that could provide energy to his God Figurine's Combat Souls continuously, it would be impossible for him to last more than 24 hours.
Moreover, looking at the current pattern of monsters, there might be more than one demigod-level monster appearing in the last four hours. Even a demigod-level powerhouse might not be able to last for the last four hours even if he had sufficient Life Power in his body. Under normal circumstances, perhaps only a virtual god-level powerhouse would have a chance of passing this checkpoint.
That confirmed Lin Huang's speculation earlier. Perhaps the designer of the checkpoints on the Stairway Tree did not plan to let anyone pass this checkpoint.
Lin Huang looked up at the sky again as he tossed all the complicated thoughts out of his head.
He had noticed since the beginning that the Divine Sun Tree's killing of monsters on this checkpoint did not increase his Stairway Tree points.
However, this also brought him another benefit. He could kill monsters endlessly on this checkpoint so that the Divine Sun Tree could be replenished with spiritual energy continuously. Moreover, he could obtain Monster Card pieces and complete Monster Cards from killing monsters here.
In other words, apart from not being able to obtain Stairway Tree points, he could obtain more than 20 times the time and rewards of killing monsters.
To Lin Huang, it was a good deal. After all, he could only obtain ten billion Stairway Tree points a day at the most since there was an upper limit.
Time flew by, and another four hours passed.
Just like what Lin Huang expected, the third wave of monsters that came out of the Virtual Eye were all imperial-level yellow gold-rank monsters.
Lin Huang was even more certain of his speculation when he saw imperial-level yellow gold-rank monsters coming out of the Virtual Eye one after another.
"As expected, there's an increase in combat strength every four hours. If that's the case, there'll definitely be demigod-level monsters in the last four hours."
There were hundreds of monsters coming out of the Virtual Eye every second, but none of them managed to escape from the Divine Sun Tree.
All the monsters started burning as soon as they stepped out of the Virtual Eye. They turned into ashes within seconds without exception.
With Lin Huang's constant supply of energy, the Sun God Tree was never tired of this kind of slaughter. Because every time he attacked, he could clearly feel that he was being filled with soul energy, and he was getting closer and closer to breaking through.
Four hours passed in a blink of an eye, and the fourth wave of monsters finally arrived.
The combat strength of the monsters this time increased again. They had leveled up from imperial-level yellow gold-rank to imperial-level white gold-rank.
However, such an elevation in combat strength made no difference to the Divine Sun Tree. Its branches shook slightly, and the imperial-level white gold-rank monsters were ignited one after another without any suspense. They turned into ashes. However, he might have died a second or two later than the imperial-level yellow gold-rank from before.
At that moment, half of the 24-hour protection period had passed, and the Divine Sun Tree had not released a single monster. However, the expression on Lin Huang's face was not relaxed.
He was not worried about the first 20 hours, but he was worried about what would happen in the last four hours.
Time flew by, and another two to three hours passed. Just when Lin Huang thought the wave was stable, a tremor came from the Divine Sun Tree all of a sudden.
"Is this … elevating to virtual god-level?!" Lin Huang, who sensed the anomaly, knew what was happening as soon as he sensed it. The Divine Sun Tree had accumulated enough soul energy to elevate to virtual god-level by killing monsters. That was out of Lin Huang's expectation.
However, Lin Huang was happy to see that happen.
After recalling the Divine Sun Tree back into his body, Lin Huang glanced at the other eight God Figurine's Combat Souls apart from the Enchanted Fairy. Eventually, he had his eyes on the Death Butterfly and summoned it.
The little blue butterfly that was less than the size of half a palm flew into the air slowly. It looked completely harmless and even a little cute.
However, such a cute little thing only flapped its wings lightly, and the imperial-level white gold-rank monsters that came out of the Virtual Eye rotted right away. They turned into white skeletons in an instant, then turned into sand and disappeared completely.
It was as if everything where it was was turned into hell.
Even Lin Huang was shocked and terrified each time he saw the Death Butterfly attack.
Each time it attacked, it would steal the vitality of the living creatures directly and grant them death. It was even more domineering than the Divine Sun Tree's burning earlier.
At least, it would take some time for the Divine Sun Tree to die from burning. However, the Death Butterfly's death came without any sign. All the living creatures turned into skeletons directly, and even the skeletons turned into ashes.
Seeing the Death Butterfly attack, Lin Huang recalled what the stone tablet had said earlier. The Death Butterfly's combat ability was considered weak among the True Spirits that mastered the Death Rule. Lin Huang could not help but be curious about how powerful the other True Spirits that mastered the Death Rule would be.
After summoning the Death Butterfly, more than an hour passed quickly. The fifth wave of monsters finally arrived.
Just like what Lin Huang expected, the monsters had imperial-level purple gold-rank combat strength.
However, in the face of the Death Butterfly, this wave of monsters still couldn't do anything.
All of the imperial-level purple gold-rank monsters turned into skeletons as soon as they stepped out of the Virtual Eye. In less than a second, they turned into ashes completely. The entire process was not any slower than the imperial-level white gold-rank monsters earlier.
Four hours passed slowly as Lin Huang waited in agony. Finally, it was the last four hours of the 24-hour protection period.
Lin Huang slowed down his breathing and stared at the changes in the Virtual Eye in the sky without blinking.
Approximately half a minute later, the monsters that came out of the Virtual Eye were still imperial-level purple gold-rank monsters. None of them were on demigod-level.
Lin Huang looked at the time with his head down. He looked even more confused after confirming that the time was right.
Time passed by on the 80th checkpoint of the Stairway Tree.
Lin Huang had waited for almost an hour, but the monsters that came out of the Virtual Eye were still imperial-level purple gold-rank monsters. There was no change compared to the previous four hours.
"Could it be that my prediction was wrong?" Lin Huang mumbled to himself softly.
As soon as he was done speaking, a powerful aura came out of the Virtual Eye. Lin Huang lifted his head to look immediately.
"This aura … It's clearly a demigod-level monster!"
A gigantic monster extended its pitch-black claw out of the Virtual Eye slowly. The claw was completely covered in a layer of black scales. The nail on the claw alone was 20 to 30 meters long.
The Death Butterfly was going to attack it before the silhouette came out of the Virtual Eye completely. However, Lin Huang stopped it.
"There's no rush. Let's wait for it to come out completely. If you attack it now, it might retract its claw right away. "
