Chapter 299: 201 Asura, You Should Submit to Me!_1
Although the strength of these muscle tendrils was only thirty percent of his original body’s, when coordinated with punches and kicks, they could prove quite effective.
What’s more, these muscle tendrils could be used to wield equipment.
Half of the muscle tendrils gripping blades significantly enhanced their strength, compensating for the weakness of punches and kicks.
The other half held long-range energy weapons, blasting away at Tiger Slash Asura—
With both parties possessing the “Insight” ability, the battle moved closer to a game of strategy, and dodging abilities were rendered completely ineffective, transforming into a kind of “exchange.”
Just as when Tiger Slash Asura held the advantage in strength, Jiang Chen had no choice but to clash with it, using the frequency of his attacks to expend its power.
Conversely,
when one’s attack frequency absolutely dominated,
the other had to counter with stronger power to offset the frequency of attacks.
Otherwise, they would have to choose to endure a small portion of the damage to avoid the larger part of it.
At this moment, that’s exactly what happened.
Facing Jiang Chen’s extremely high attack frequency, Tiger Slash Asura had to endure some of the tendrils’ attacks.
These attacks were not merely pure damage—
The sharpshooter mecha used by divine prodigy Ying Tian had various types of bullets that each bore unique effects.
Having defeated so many Legendary Overlords, assembling a set of auxiliary weapons with built-in negative buffs was a simple task for Jiang Chen.
[Resistance Reduction],[Outer Shell Weakening],[Cellular Failure]…
Perhaps a single attack couldn’t affect Tiger Slash Asura,
but under the countless exchanges, Tiger Slash Asura’s defense attributes plummeted in a straight line, with even its strength and agility affected, gradually weakening.
It was almost as if with every second of combat, its life force would diminish a cut!
On the contrary, Jiang Chen grew stronger the more he fought, his surging Life Force almost forming tangible waves of blood.
Even the blood spurting from Jiang Chen bore an immense Life Force.
Once it left his body, instead of diminishing, it actively latched onto Tiger Slash Asura’s skin, voraciously eroding its hair and hide.
It was as if it bore intense corrosiveness, making a sizzling sound.
Furthermore, the blood Jiang Chen shed would continuously burrow back into his body, replenishing his Life Force and healing his wounds…
Tiger Slash Asura had reason to suspect.
If it were a weaker specter, it likely would have been devoured by this mecha pilot’s blood, turned into nourishment, and absorbed into the body…
Even the specters of Infinite Purgatory in their early stages didn’t possess such fiendish techniques of this severity.
“… Are you really a human?”
Tiger Slash Asura couldn’t help but ask.
Just as the souls of mecha pilots absorbed by Infinite Purgatory were transformed into the countless specters of Purgatory,
could it be that mecha pilots have also found a way to absorb abyssal creatures, transforming them into mecha pilot strength?
“What are you questioning?”
Jiang Chen switched his weapon from a longsword to brass knuckles, his six fists moving in unison, clashing with Tiger Slash Asura’s claws.
In the collision, the ripple spread.
“The hands are human hands, the arms are human arms, the blood is human blood, the eyes are human eyes…”
“Is there anyone more genuinely human than I am?”
“…”
Tiger Slash Asura fell momentarily silent.
“Leaving the size and six arms aside, are these lively blood and tendrils also possessions of a human?”
“Ha, what do you know about humans.”
Jiang Chen said lightly.
“Is the human body an inconvenience?”
“If needed, let alone a few tendrils, what of a few more arms, or even a few more heads?”
“Be aware… humans can evolve!”
Having said that, without waiting for a response from Tiger Slash Asura, Jiang Chen quickly retreated a distance and spoke again.
“It’s time to end this fight.”
In the recent battle, Jiang Chen had exchanged countless blows with Tiger Slash Asura.
Under the oppression of its terrifying power, the Star Phoenix Primordial Blood finally completed absorption.
The illusory flames within had vanished, becoming nourishment for the cells.
The progress also stalled at this point.
Jiang Chen’s Perfect Body showed no further inclination to evolve, but seemed instead to be brewing something—
According to the pathway description, this was the final [Specialization] phase.
Jiang Chen needed to kill a large number of abyssal creatures, using their breath and souls to nourish his cells, solidifying the [Mythical Conscious Soul].
To communicate with it and fully absorb the sequence, creating a specialization that fits him.
However, the Tiger Slash Asura he was confronting was not only fundamentally much stronger than him but was also a Legendary Overlord.
If he could just slay it…
He should be able to directly solidify the Mythical Conscious Soul.
“End the fight?”
After engaging for so long, Tiger Slash Asura naturally felt that Jiang Chen still harbored plenty of power within, not yet unleashed.
It seemed to be some sort of Explosive Type ability.
Now that its power had been significantly reduced, it wasn’t sure it could withstand Jiang Chen’s outburst.
Yet knowing this, its battle will remained unabated.
“Come on! Show me the extent of your explosive power!”
An explosion?
Not necessary.
Jiang Chen shook his head.
If it were the time when Tiger Slash Asura first appeared, an explosion would have made sense.
But now, Tiger Slash Asura’s Life Force had been depleted by more than half.
Its foundational attributes had dropped by thirty percent, leaving only about 130 billion, especially its defense, which was nearly falling below 10 billion.
Under these conditions, Jiang Chen had reached his execution threshold!
Tiger Slash Asura’s will to fight grew stronger, accumulating power within itself, waiting for Jiang Chen’s burst.
However, the next instant,
Jiang Chen vanished from the spot.
[Void Traversing]
At twelve times the speed, Jiang Chen’s velocity had reached 25.2 billion, far surpassing Tiger Slash Asura.
