Chapter 136: Chapter 106: The Strike of 260,000 Strength!_2
“After fighting with you, I have absorbed centuries of starlight and grown to the formidable realm I am in now!”
Jiang Chen heard the words of the Transcender and had an epiphany.
These Abyss overlords, almost every one of them possesses abilities related to growth and continues to grow over time.
Left in a normal abyss, their growth rate is not considered fast.
Compared to mecha pilots, it could even be said to be incredibly slow.
But...
If, during the creation of the Age-Old Shadow, an adjustment in time is made, to directly accelerate for a period of time,
naturally, they can exhibit a stronger stance and power.
“I originally thought that Endless Difficulty was just simple numerical enhancement...”
“Now it seems to be a bit more complex.”
Jiang Chen looked at the Transcender in front of him, his expression serious.
You see, time brings not only attributes.
Having grown for so long, the Transcender must have obtained even more powerful abilities!
As expected, when the Transcender saw a familiar foe, its mouth split into a ferocious grin.
“To pilot two such powerful Mechas and come back to challenge me in just a few days...”
“Your growth rate far exceeds my imagination, you truly are the strongest individual I’ve ever seen.”
“But unfortunately, the strongest weapon I possess is time!”
“Let me show you the new stance I’ve realized after these long years!”
Roots twisted, rapidly splitting and recombining.
The Transcender’s size did not increase any further, but instead rapidly condensed and shrank into a human appearance less than two meters tall.
A pair of green wings unfolded behind it, its demeanor incredibly arrogant.
“This is the strongest stance that I’ve realized!”
The Transcender swung its fist at the air nonchalantly, creating a pressure that turned into a gale sweeping across the ground.
It was showcasing its martial might in this manner!
Jiang Chen also judged its strength through this display.
60,000 force...
Nearly a fifth improvement?
The number was indeed exaggerated.
After all, when Jiang Chen entered the Star of Mutation at Endless Difficulty Level, his attributes were not even 40,000.
Even if he activated burst mode with 80,000 force agility, it wouldn’t be enough to overwhelm the Transcender, but would instead significantly consume his own physical strength and Life Force, causing more harm than good.
Clearly, Endless Difficulty was not a place to be casually conquered.
Even the most hopeful of individuals had to be well prepared to overcome an Abyss overlord and claim the reward.
However...
Attributes are attributes.
“Master Chao, is this the strongest stance you’ve realized?”
“Why does it look so much like me?”
“Could it be that you’ve spent hundreds of years studying my body template?”
“...Heh, what if I have?”
Like now.
The Transcender was continuously exploded and the regenerating energy clearly began to fail in keeping up.
When resurrected the second time, only half a Life Force Core was reshaped.
Jiang Chen wouldn’t give it the chance to catch its breath.
He beckoned with his finger and began the third, fourth...
Until the seventh heavy strike!
“Impossible...”
The Transcender’s gaze turned desperate as it was shattered by the punch.
This time, the energy released by the Roots Giant Tree was finally exhausted, unable even to reshape a single Life Force Core.
Its resurrection failed, and it entered a state of complete death.
With the abyss atmosphere flowing into Jiang Chen’s palm, the roots that spread across the entire planet rapidly withered and turned to ash.
“Phew... It’s no wonder Master Chao endured seven punches.”
Jiang Chen quickly returned to his normal size and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This set of punches had a very high physical output, arguably the strongest strike at the current stage.
The downside is the enormous physical energy consumption.
As an external equipment, the energy consumption of [Gravity Metal Fist] is much higher than [Touch of Extreme Cold].
Combined with the full-power stance, it resulted in the consumption of a tremendous amount of physical energy.
Jiang Chen could swing a maximum of ten punches before depleting all his strength and entering a weakened rest state.
Master Chao managed to hold on until the seventh punch, which was rather impressive.
Frankly, if it hadn’t mimicked Jiang Chen’s body posture and shrunk to just the right size to be exploded by a punch,
Jiang Chen might not have been able to kill it completely with ten punches.
Of course, if that had been the case, Jiang Chen wouldn’t have resorted to such a brutal method.
Instead, he would have tried a different strategy.
With his attributes laid out, he could easily clear the stage regardless, just that it would take a bit more time.
“Master Chao, you still have so much to learn!”
