5: Clear the entire dungeon in one move! Kill your way to the max level from a difficult dungeon. The Abyss Party has begun!

"Learn!"

As the digital content turned into garbled code, the Skill Book quickly merged into Lin Mo's body.

"Congratulations! You have successfully mastered 'Soul Pact'."

"Activate skill!"

"Please select a target..."

"Water Domain Ghost King."

"Connection successful..."

Immediately, a surge of vigorous Qi and blood flowed in.

This Qi and blood felt different from Lin Mo's own hot blood; it had a chilling sensation.

Looking at his attributes again:

"Name: Lin Mo"

"Level: LV12"

"Strength: 39"

"Agility: 40"

"Spirit: 41"

"Qi and Blood: 108 + (Hidden Shared Qi and Blood 1.05 million)"

The Water Domain Ghost King suddenly leaned close to his ear, her icy hair falling onto his neck:

"After the contract is formed, this concubine can hear My Lord's heartbeat."

Lin Mo instinctively recoiled his neck.

"Continue!"

..."Congratulations! You have successfully killed a 'Suffocated Dead Person', gaining experience: 333 points."

"Congratulations! You have successfully killed a 'Suffocated Dead Person', gaining experience: 333 points."

..."Congratulations! You have successfully killed a 'Wrongfully Killed Charred Corpse', gaining experience: 315 points."

...The golden upgrade halos continued to accumulate around Lin Mo.

Gaining experience, upgrading, gaining experience, upgrading... forming a simple cycle.

"Awesome!"

Soon, all the monsters in the three streets in front of Purgatory City were cleared out.

However, there were still more areas to explore.

In dungeons of this horror world type, from easy to medium to difficult, the options not only changed the monster levels but also the accessible areas.

The easiest difficulty only unlocked one residential area.

Medium difficulty unlocked three street areas.

The difficult level Lin Mo challenged, however, unlocked all locations in the entire area, including 10 residential areas, a burning hospital, a burning shopping mall, a children's playground...

Generally, for difficult levels, challengers would only choose the shortest path to clear the dungeon, defeat the final boss, get the rewards, and leave quickly.

If one were to advance little by little, exploring every single area without missing anything, the medicine for healing Ghost Servants carried would simply not be enough.

Once his Ghost Servant's body died, a Moving Corpse Master's Qi and blood value would directly drop by 80% of its maximum, and it would only recover after three days.

In a difficult dungeon, that would be equivalent to a death sentence.

Lin Mo also felt that killing one by one was too slow.

"Is there a skill that allows for quick kills without wasting time, and also clears all the monsters in this area without missing any?"

The Water Domain Ghost King's lips curved into an icy arc, and the ethereal blue light around her body grew even more dazzling.

"As you command, My Lord..."

She merely raised her delicate hand.

A deep, dark Netherwater slowly condensed in her palm; the Netherwater appeared calm but actually contained world-destroying power.

"Nether Surge of the Dark Lake!"

The power of the Nether Surge of the Dark Lake surged forth, and the Netherwater rushed out like an overwhelming tide.

In the areas struck by the Netherwater, countless monsters were swept into the water and instantly shattered under the immense water pressure.

After the impact... countless damage numbers leaped out...

—15246

—13524

...—14535

—15325

"Congratulations! You have successfully killed a 'Wrongfully Killed Charred Corpse', gaining experience: 315 points."

"Congratulations! You have successfully killed a 'Wrongfully Killed Charred Corpse', gaining experience: 315 points."

..."Congratulations! You have successfully killed the 'Lord of Purgatory City', gaining experience: 33333 points."

"Congratulations! You have leveled up, all attributes +3, current level: LV14."

"Congratulations! You have leveled up, all attributes +3, current level: LV15."

..."Congratulations! You have leveled up, all attributes +3, current level: LV36."

Messages kept appearing.

Even before the boss showed its face, it was obliterated by the Nether Surge of the Dark Lake skill...

The flames, which had burned incessantly across dozens of buildings in the entire area, were finally extinguished.

Seven or eight out of ten monsters inside also died.

This directly boosted Lin Mo to level 36.

Before Lin Mo could rejoice... there was a tremendous roar.

Immediately after, one building could no longer hold up and was the first to collapse with a crash.

The collapsing building was like a giant hammer, heavily striking the adjacent structures.

In an instant, like dominoes, the surrounding buildings collapsed one after another.

Bricks, stones, and steel bars flew, raising dust that blotted out the sky.

—10000 collapse damage!

—10000 collapse damage!

...—10000 collapse damage!

Amidst the rolling smoke and dust, more damage numbers continuously popped up.

Accompanied by the system's upgrade prompts, Lin Mo's level continued to soar.

"Congratulations! You have successfully killed a 'Wrongfully Killed Charred Corpse', gaining experience: 315 points."

..."Congratulations! You have successfully killed a 'Suffocated Dead Person', gaining experience: 333 points."

"Congratulations! You have leveled up, all attributes +3, current level: LV37."

..."Congratulations! You have leveled up, all attributes +3, current level: LV39."

"Congratulations! You have leveled up, all attributes +3, current level: LV40."

"Your level has reached its maximum, you can no longer gain experience; current experience has been stored."

"Congratulations! You have killed 100% of the enemies in the Hard Mode area."

"You now have the right to open the Abyssal Party, challenge stronger enemies, and uncover the truth behind it."

After the violent water impact, the burning buildings could no longer withstand it and, after collapsing, killed another wave of enemies.

This directly brought Lin Mo to max level.

"This is too awesome!"

"One skill cleared the entire dungeon instantly."

Looking at the colorful treasure chests scattered all over the ground, Lin Mo was in a great mood.

It's just that his level had now reached its cap.

To continue leveling up, he had to advance from a 'Moving Corpse Master' to a 'Corpse Driver'.

He took out his phone again and opened the 'Moving Corpse Master' APP...

He selected the promotion guide.

"If your level reaches its limit, your beloved corpse will also be unable to break through its level."

"At this time, you need to advance from 'Moving Corpse Master' to 'Corpse Driver'."

"Please confirm that you have reached the level cap and click on the promotion quest."

"Click."

"Now issuing promotion quests, complete one to proceed."

"① Challenge the Abyssal Party difficulty dungeon, click to claim."

"② Submit an item of the Gold Corpse (Crimson Eye) realm, click to claim."

"③ Win the May Fourth Youth Medal, municipal honor, click to claim."

"Three to choose from?"

If the skill book Lin Mo obtained earlier hadn't been learned, submitting it now would have allowed him to advance directly. That option was gone, so there was no point discussing it.

As for the third option, that would require doing many good deeds and donating money and goods to disaster-stricken areas, which couldn't be completed in a short time.

Only the first option remained: opening the Abyssal Party.

Perfect, he met the requirements.

"I want to open the Abyssal Party..."

In the central plaza of Purgatory City, a fierce flame suddenly erupted from hell, forming a burning, corpse-oil-dripping portal of fire.

"You have now opened the Abyssal Party. Please enter within two hours, otherwise the Abyssal Gate will close for you."
